Chapter 11

Chapter 10 last paragraph that’s incomplete previously:1It was five minutes before eight o’clock when everything was laid out on the table, and Xu Ye stood hovering at the entrance to the stairs. In fact, his curiosity about the man had reached its peak, and he had been calculating the thoughts of ‘He would definitely not wear a mask when he sleeps’, and ‘If I go in now, maybe I can see his face’ and other thoughts. But a voice on the other side warned him ‘He forbids you to see and you should not violate’, and ‘If you do this, you will be punished severely’, so he hesitated, pacing around like an ant on a hot pan. It was only when he saw the man in the light grey mask coming down the stairs that he hid his regretful little thoughts and smiled up at him, showing his neatly set teeth, “Good morning, Master.”

       Xu Ye’s dark and bright eyes made his face look clean and bright. His facial features embodied the advantages of his mother Zhou Jia, which could be described as delicate and pretty. However, he himself didn’t like this kind of statement. When he was in college, he punched out a male classmate’s front teeth after he made a joke about him saying, “If you disguised yourself as a fake young lady, you’ll surely pass off as a real one.” He then started working out and really developed his abdominal muscles and Apollo’s belt. But then he got busy with his work, and there were problems in his love life, and he didn’t care about managing it, so now his muscle lines were less visible. All in all, he was still in good shape, healthy and energetic, not like those frail and slender young men. It was just that his face looked a little immature, so when he went to work, he always wore a pair of non-prescribing gold-rimmed glasses to make himself look more mature and trustworthy.

 

       The masked man was infected by his smile and was in a good mood. He sat down at the dining table and patted his legs.

 

       Xu Ye knelt beside his legs. The man took a piece of bread and spread strawberry jam with a knife and handed it to him, “Did you sleep well last night?”

 

       “I slept so deeply that I didn’t even know it was raining.”

 

       “That’s good, you look much more refreshed than before.” The man ate his breakfast slowly, as if he remembered something, and said, “Next time, don’t put your mobile phone on your pillow when you sleep.”

 

       Xu Ye was taken aback, “How did you know my phone was on my pillow?” He remembered that he had put the mobile phone by the pillow after setting the alarm last night, but when he woke up this morning, he found that the mobile phone was ringing on the TV cabinet. It was strange and for a while, he thought that maybe he had remembered it wrong. Now it seemed that the man put it there.

 

       He came to my room last night. Why? Because he was worried I wouldn’t be able to sleep or have a nightmare?

 

       “I don’t remember giving you the right to ask questions, slave.” The man glanced at him.

 

       Xu Ye’s heart warmed at the thought of him coming to the bedside to take care of him. He bent his eyes and smiled, biting the bread while looking up at the person on the seat.

 

       The man was spreading butter on a piece of bread, and when he felt Xu Ye’s gaze, he turned his face to the side and said with a seemingly helpless smile, “Really…” With that, he put down the knife and stretched out his hand to wipe the strawberry jam off Xu Ye’s mouth with his index finger, then stopped his long, slender finger before his lips and said, “Open your mouth.”

 

       The back of Xu Ye’s ears flushed with heat, and he stuck his tongue out to lick the red sauce off the finger before taking it in. Inch by inch, his lips and tongue dug into the finger, licking, toothing, sucking, the faint sweetness of strawberry jam filling his mouth, and his eyes became slightly hazy. The man raised his fingers slightly to force his slave to straighten his body and stretched his neck, the trembling Adam’s apple on the slender neck looked fragile and beautiful.

 

       The man’s fingers were surrounded by the hot and wet mouth, and the soft and slippery tip of the tongue could be clearly felt. The sight of the naked man on his knees allowing himself to be invaded without resistance was a huge stimulus in itself and made even the eyes behind the mask darken. Just when Xu Ye was trying to swallow it deeper into the base of his tongue, the man quickly pulled out his fingers, pulling out a strand of silver from the corner of his lips.

 

       Xu Ye choked twice and blushed in embarrassment.

 

       “At your level, you still can’t handle deep-throating.” The man wiped his fingers with a wet towel, and his tone was flat.

 

       Xu Ye’s face grew hotter, and he lowered his head. His jaw was not relaxed enough at all and the sharp pressure on the base of his tongue triggered an instinctive rejection of his body. He knew that if the man hadn’t pulled out his finger in time, he would have had a worse reaction, and he might have retched or coughed suddenly and bit him.

 

       “Slave, there are many ways to please me, no need to force yourself to do something you are not ready for, especially something that could be dangerous.” The man poured the milk over a spoon and fed it to him.

 

       The milk calmed down the discomfort in his throat just now, and Xu Ye said softly, “Thank you, master…”

 

       The breakfast episode had left him a little frustrated, and he was sluggish while doing the dishes. When he had finished cleaning up, he saw the man standing by the window, listening to the phone. Mostly it was the other party who was talking, and he only responded briefly. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Ye standing there blankly, pointing his finger at him to go over.

 

       Xu Ye was considering whether to kneel down when the man grabbed his waist from behind. His naked back was pressed to the other party’s neat clothes, creating a subtle friction. The man stuck the phone to his ear with one hand, and put the other hand around in front of him, playing with the protrusions on his chest, pinching or squeezing them, and causing those two shy little things to stand upright quickly. Xu Ye moaned lightly and wanted to dodge, but the man lowered his voice and whispered the order in his ear, “Don’t move, and don’t make a sound.”

 

       The man’s hand wandered freely on his body, and it was as if there was a fire wherever it went. From the lower abdomen to the chest, from the collarbone to the cheeks, sometimes teasing his Adam’s apple, sometimes teasing his lips. What the man did arouse his sensitivity, but he was forced to endure. Xu Ye stood naked by the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room on the first floor, and could even clearly see two gardeners not far away who were pruning trees standing on the vertical ladder. Even though he clearly knew that he would not be seen by anyone outside, he still had the illusion of being exposed in front of everyone in such a scene. The glass vaguely reflected his erotic and gorgeous appearance of being in a hand of a man. He was like an object, held in the hands of that person, and played with it at will. Every inch of his body was not his own.

 

       When that hand came to his lower abdomen and seemed to touch his vulnerable erection, Xu Ye trembled and clenched his lips. However, half of the moans he couldn’t bear to hold in leaked from his throat, like the suppressed cry of a self-restrained teenager.

 

       “Well, leave this matter to him, and let me know when you have the results.” The man finally hung up the phone and put the phone in his pocket. His other free hand stroked his chest and squeezed hard on purpose. A deep voice whispered in his ear, “Who told you to make a sound, huh?”

 

       The feeling of pain and numbness runs through the body, bringing deeper desire. Xu Ye couldn’t bear it any longer and cried out involuntarily.

 

       “You will be punished for disobedience, little slave.” The smile in the man’s eyes intensified and he stopped touching his body. The man instead folded Xu Ye’s hands behind his back and held them firmly in place.

 

       Such a sudden withdrawal of caress stopped Xu Ye’s surging desire within an impenetrable barrier. Like a vine that had lost its footing on the stone wall, he didn’t know how to climb to it. The watery eyes were full of pleading. He didn’t dare to speak for the people behind him didn’t allow it. He didn’t dare to move, and although his legs trembled a little, he still tried to stand up straight.

 

       “Tell me who you are.” A deep voice sounded from behind.

 

       “I am…your slave.” The torment made Xu Ye slightly dizzy and he forced himself to hold on to the sliver of clarity in his head.

 

       “Tell me about your rights.”

 

       “Everything I have belongs to you, Master. I don’t have any rights.” The answer came out of his mouth.

 

       “Tell me about your obligations.”

 

       “I exist to make you happy.” His shoulder blades trembled slightly, and he took deep breaths to try to calm himself down.

 

       “I want you to remember these three things at all times.” The man behind let go of the palms that bound his hands, “Once you step out of here, do not allow anyone to enter your body in any way without my permission. Where my hands have just touched, no one else will touch. If I find you disobeying my orders, slave ……” He pushed up Xu Ye’s chin with his fingertips, forcing his head back against his body. “You know what the consequences will be.” The man’s voice was always calm and relaxed, without any hint of cruelty. But the sense of oppression was like maggots attached to the bones, making people tremble unceasingly. In this posture, Xu Ye’s slender neck was completely under his big hands, and his Adam’s apple was twitching in his palm, like a beautiful and fragile swan, that could be strangled as long as the man exerted a little force.

 

       In this way, the man reminded Xu Ye that he manipulated his desires, controlled his body, and dominated everything about him.

 

       “Yes, master.” Xu Ye’s eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly wet with rain. He lost himself in the light scent of the man’s body. He felt like a puppet, being led by a man into a brand new world, where there was only him and his master, and no one else.

 

       “Get dressed and come down, and I’ll have someone take you back.”

 

       When Xu Ye left, there was still a special car to pick him up, and when he arrived at the gate of Hanguan, a chauffeur in a black uniform was already waiting beside his car and opened the door for him very attentively, “Sir has instructed me to take you back.”

 

       Xu Ye got into the car and gave his home address, then looked out of the window at the rapidly receding scenery for a while, took out his mobile phone and called back one of the missed calls.

 

       Xu Ting on the other end of the phone was obviously in a bad mood, and asked, “Where did you go all day yesterday?”

 

       “Tired, slept all day.” He replied perfunctorily.

 

       “Are you sick?”

 

       “No.”

 

       “That’s good. There’s a charity dinner tonight, you’re coming with me.”

 

       “I’m not interested.” Xu Ye was a little impatient, “We agreed that you would do this kind of socialising on your own.”

 

       “You have to attend.” Xu Ting said coldly, “Wanhua’s daughter came back from abroad, so it’s a good opportunity to meet her. You’re not too young anymore.”

 

       Xu Ye was silent for a moment, then asked expressionlessly, “Are you going to sell your son for the Donglin project now?”

 

       “Whether the Donglin project is successful or not depends on you. Song Wanhua admires you, and if his daughter also has a crush on you, everything will naturally fall into place. Xu Ye, you have to understand clearly that if I hadn’t paved the way for you, you wouldn’t be worth much. Whether you are willing to take this path or not, you have to take it.”

 

       Xu Ye hung up the phone, leaned his head against the back seat and closed his eyes.

Chapter 38

       This was the first time Shen Huiming had expressed his desire for Suo Yang so bluntly, and he wanted to be more honest.

       Perhaps the noble saints could get rid of the fascination with the body and only indulge in the splendour of the soul, but in the end, they were not saints, and they didn’t want to be saints. There was nothing wrong with being an ordinary person who not only yearned for the labyrinth-like spiritual world of your beloved but also indulged in their poppy-like skin and breath. Shen Huiming admitted his vulgarity, and he was not afraid to reveal his vulgarity to Suo Yang.

       The music started again, and the lazy female voice hummed in a language they didn’t understand.

       Suo Yang who had been drinking but was not even slightly tipsy, felt a little dizzy as he heard Shen Huiming’s words. The other party’s words were stronger than the wine Zhou Mo had handed him.

       It was not that he had never heard anyone say such things to him before.

       But it felt different.

       Those naked invitations or almost harassing physical contact made Suo Yang feel extremely uncomfortable, how could that situation be compared to what Shen Huiming had said to him?

       His consciousness was suddenly pulled back to the night not long ago when Shen Huiming sent him to the taxi and watched him leave. After he got home and opened the door, he sat on the stool by the door when the other party called.

       Suo Yang dared not recall that night easily, he felt that he had done a very disgraceful thing.

       He got aroused by a man’s voice on the phone in the middle of the night and even allowed his desire to set fire to his body, even though he was drunk at the time, which was still a bit out of line.

       But instinct. Human instinct sometimes made you completely powerless to resist.  You know it was shameful, but you kept sinking in this shame.

       Just like now, Suo Yang should’ve said something to ease the almost frozen atmosphere, but he only said one word when he opened his mouth, “Oh.”

       Shen Huiming was still nervous at first, wondering if the other party would be angry, but when he saw Suo Yang’s blank “oh”, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

       Suo Yang looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

       “Nothing, I think you are cute.” Shen Huiming picked up the dice again, “Shall we continue?”

       Suo Yang had no intention to continue, his whole body was now haunted by a strange thought as if Shen Huiming had planted poison in his body, and now the poison had gradually started to take effect.

       As Suo Yang regained his grip on the dice he realised that this time his instinct might have the upper hand.

       It should be from the third time he met Shen Huiming, that he had accepted the existence of this person as driven by fate, and after this concept was established, when he was getting along with the other party, every minute he spent with the other person again was a step towards them, not backwards.

       He had long ago set an ending for each other, as long as there was no major landslide in the process, he had already accepted it.

       During this period of getting along, Suo Yang had been trying to find the place where the collapse might have occurred but found that the more he searched, the more he wanted to follow the other party.

       A new round was won by Shen Huiming.

       In fact, Shen Huiming could clearly feel that at the moment, Suo Yang was out of his element, a situation that started when he uttered those words.

       This was actually a good sign. It showed that Suo Yang was not a saint, just like him.

       Who wanted to be a saint? They only want the ordinary happiness of ordinary life, and the ordinary but unique love and solace.

       Shen Huiming looked at him and asked, “I want to know what I do that would make you feel uncomfortable.”

       Suo Yang looked down at the dice in front of him and didn’t answer for a long time.

       “Is it difficult to answer? Then I’ll ask you another way,” Shen Huiming said, “Is there anything I’ve done so far that makes you feel uncomfortable?”

       Suo Yang said simply, “No.”

       No.

       Neither did the phrase ‘makes me want to kiss you’ just now.

       Shen Huiming smiled.

       Originally, Shen Huiming wanted to say that this was the end of the game, but Suo Yang became excited, and before he could speak, he had already rolled the dice in his hand.

       It was as if the other party had many questions to ask and many answers to find.

       Shen Huiming was happy to see him like this, as he himself had said before, his beloved’s refusal to ask questions of himself was tantamount to not being interested in him, which was not a good feeling.

       He wanted to tell Suo Yang everything, even things that were so private that only he knew about them.

       In the following rounds, Suo Yang was bullied miserably by ‘luck’. Clearly, he had so many questions to ask, but he kept losing.

       With another game, Shen Huiming won three consecutive victories, and he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he smiled helplessly and said, “Then I’ll ask… what do you want to ask me?”

       Suo Yang was a little aggrieved because he had lost several times in a row, and was drinking to dispel his sorrows. When he heard Shen Huiming’s question, he originally wanted to tell the other party not to have to accommodate him, but after he thought about it, he felt that there was no need to be so fussy.

       “I’ll ask one last question.” Suo Yang already had three glasses and four wine bottles empty in front of him, he had drunk a lot. “The cufflinks you dropped on me on Zhou Mo’s birthday, did you put them there on purpose?”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “You still remember that cufflink?”

       “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Suo Yang actually not only remembered but also cared about it a lot.

       If it wasn’t for this cufflink, he and Shen Huiming might not have met later, and then the story between the two of them would probably have ended that day.

       Shen Huiming took a sip of his wine, chuckled and said, “If I say yes, will it affect your judgement of me?”

       After getting an affirmative answer, Suo Yang looked at him with a smile on his chin.

       “No.” Suo Yang said, “But if you say no, then it will.”

       In fact, this matter couldn’t be more obvious. The reason why he had to ask was to know whether Shen Huiming would deceive him in order to maintain the so-called ‘fatalism of love’.

       Fortunately, Shen Huiming was not only smart but also upright in a timely manner.

       “At that time, I took the opportunity to play a little trick to create opportunities for myself.” Shen Huiming said, “You also know how difficult it is to ask you to meet.”

       Suo Yang looked at him with a smile in his eyes, satisfied with Shen Huiming’s answer.

       “Let’s do it one last time, an exciting game.” Shen Huiming picked up the dice again and proposed, “Do you dare to play with me?”

       Suo Yang sat up straight, heard him say ‘an exciting game’, and subconsciously licked his lips, “What game?”

       “For the last time, no more truth.” Shen Huiming looked at him with a sly smile, “Let’s play a dare.”

       A dare? Of course Suo Yang was not afraid, because he was already taking risks.

       “Okay.” Suo Yang picked up the dice and shook it with Shen Huiming.

       When the dust settled on the result of the last game between the two, Suo Yang looked at the dice on the table and his breathing went haywire because he lost.

       The feeling of both nervousness and some anticipation made him restless.

       Suo Yang seldom or almost never felt this way. He had always been calm and restrained, but today he was on the verge of losing his composure.

       Shen Huiming was very satisfied with the result, his dice points were only a little higher than Suo Yang’s, but only by this point, the other party had to obey his orders and embark on a ‘dare’.

       “What do you need me to do?” Suo Yang raised his head and asked him, willing to admit defeat.

       Shen Huiming looked at him and smiled, then got up and walked to him.

       Suo Yang’s gaze was always glued to the other person as he watched that person get up, watching that person approach, and watching that person stop in front of him. He sat there looking up at Shen Huiming, and when he was wondering what the other party was going to do, a kiss fell on his face.

       A kiss as simple as a seal of approval, and Shen Huiming’s name was stamped on his face.

       Perhaps, if there was no music, Suo Yang’s heartbeat would be heard by everyone present. But fortunately, the music never stopped, and he hadn’t been exposed yet.

       The faint breath of wine exhaled by Shen Huiming touched Suo Yang’s skin, penetrated into his body along the pores, and melted into his churning blood. Just for a moment, Suo Yang felt drunk.

       It turned out that this was his ‘dare’.

       When Shen Huiming straightened up, he said very gentlemanly, “Thank you.”

       He spoke so sincerely that Suo Yang almost thought that he had really made some generous contribution to the other party.

       Suo Yang stared at him blankly, the place where he was kissed seemed to be burning with fire.

       The century-old bell tower not far away could actually make a sound, and the deep and heavy chime that wouldn’t even be drowned out by the music in the bar just came through.

       Dang… Dang… Dang…

       One time, two times, three times…

       Each stroke seemed to hit not the ancient bell, but Suo Yang’s heart.

       When the bell finished ringing, Shen Huiming said to Suo Yang, “We still have ten hours.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, Suo Yang, who had been sitting there looking up at him, suddenly put his arms around his neck, pulling the man towards himself and kissing him.

       The fire that had originally only stayed on my cheeks was not enough to stop there and spread completely.

       This was something Shen Hui Ming had not expected.

       It was also completely out of Suo Yang’s own plan.

       This isn’t a gay bar, right? The people who come here may be reminiscing with old friends or gathering with colleagues. The action of the two men kissing attracted the attention of the people around them.

       But it was almost the first time in his adult life that Suo Yang disregarded the eyes of passersby. He even raised his other hand and wrapped it around Shen Huiming’s neck, deepening the kiss.

       Shen Huiming was surprised but responded quickly.

       There was nothing more suitable for a lingering and long kiss than this moment.

       Suo Yang’s sense of shame came late after the kiss was over. He had always felt that intimacy in public was inappropriate and disrespectful to others, but he didn’t expect that one day he would do this kind of thing himself.

       His cheeks were flushed, and he didn’t know whether it was from the alcohol or the kiss just now.

       But despite the shame he felt, he just couldn’t look at the people around him, and when faced with Shen Huiming, he could still look at each other calmly.

       Two-thirds of his kisses were based on instinct, and the remaining one-third were still rationally thought.

       This was what he initiated and what he wanted, and what he showed was what he wants to express.

       “Drunk?” Shen Huiming squatted beside him, put his hand lightly on his lap, and looked up at the person sitting there.

       Suo Yang smiled, “Do you think I kissed you because I was drunk?”

       He took the remaining half glass of wine on the table and drank it down. When he put down the glass, he even picked up the wine-soaked cherries.

       He brought the cherry to Shen Huiming’s mouth and watched him open his mouth to eat it.

       “I’m kissing you because I want to.”

Chapter 64

       Guan Anlin returned just before the end of the New Year.

       After some discussion with Chen Yuncheng, in order to save on the cost of renting the house, he simply installed a bunk bed in the room inside the store. Although the room was not big, neither of them cared about it. It was like returning to the living environment of the previous dormitory.

       Before the official opening, Chen Yuncheng followed Sun Shiliang to get the goods and gradually filled the shelves with boxes of cigarettes, alcohol and drinks. He also hired a young girl in her twenties named Wu Xiaozhu to watch the shop and keep accounts.

       Sun Shiliang wanted to hand over this store to Chen Yuncheng. He was in the wholesale tobacco and alcohol business, many of which were directly bought from local dealers. He took Chen Yuncheng around and ate a lot of food to introduce people to Chen Yuncheng. In the beginning, he was doing a sales pitch to a few customers to come here, saying that they are all his stores and that he would give the same discount for goods from both sides1it was like they were just going from one place to another place to get acquainted with the people around the market and get them to know and maybe buy products from Sun Shiliang’s place.

       When the shop started to stock up, Chen Yuncheng moved out of the daily rental house and lived with Guan Anlin in the inner room of the shop.

       Chen Yuncheng slept on the lower bunk, while Guan Anlin slept on the upper bed.

       The environment here was not as damp as Chen Yuncheng’s previous kiosk, and there were two people living in the room, so it was not so cold. The bedding on the bed was newly bought, and it was fluffy and soft when they lay on it, which was more comfortable to sleep on than the bed in the daily rental house.

       The best thing was that the store was equipped with air conditioning2this is including the units that have heating mode; a big floor-standing air conditioner outside, ready to be put up with a plastic curtain at the shop door in summer, which will keep the inside cool; while on the inside was a small unit hanging, which had not been turned on yet. Chen Yuncheng felt that winter was almost over, and the room was not so cold, so there was no need to turn it on.

       Guan Anlin didn’t pay attention to anything, he lay on the upper bunk and watched videos on his mobile phone.

       The two of them had been sorting out the goods all day, moving and lifting containers up and down, and now they didn’t want to do anything except lie down and rest.

       Chen Yuncheng put his hands behind his head and stared at the depressingly spacious bedpan above him, and thought about how Ning Junyan hadn’t contacted him for a week.

       The wound on his wrist had faded, and it might completely disappear in two days, so those violent and extreme actions of Ning Junyan were gradually forgotten by Chen Yuncheng as the injury disappeared, and he remembered again how good Ning Junyan had been to him.

       He actually wanted to call Ning Junyan again, but he was hesitant because he was afraid that Ning Junyan would not answer. He didn’t know what Ning Junyan was thinking, if Ning Junyan didn’t want to see him, he was afraid that his phone call would become harassment to the other party.

       While he was entertaining all sorts of foolish ideas, Guan Anlin poked his head out from the upper bunk to look at him. Chen Yuncheng was frowning, but before he could loosen his frown, Guan Anlin saw his expression, and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

       Chen Yuncheng replied, “It will be officially opened tomorrow.”

       Guan Anlin let out an “En” and said, “Isn’t it pretty good?”

       “Yeah, it’s pretty good,” Chen Yuncheng’s tone sounded like he was lamenting.

       Guan Anlin pulled his head back and after a while said, “My sister will be taking the university entrance exam in June this year.”

       Chen Yuncheng knew that his sister had good grades and was top-notch in the local middle school, so he asked, “What university does she want to go to?”

       Guan Anlin said, “She wants to come here for the exams, and I want her to go here too.”

       Chen Yuncheng chatted with him absentmindedly, “It’s good to come over, you siblings can take care of each other.”

       Guan Anlin was silent for a while, and said to Chen Yuncheng, “You can meet her when the time comes.”

       Chen Yuncheng sighed and rolled over to lie on his side, “Even if we are not talking about age, do you think your sister, a college student, would look at a man like me who is almost thirty, has no car or house, and is still working for someone else to look after the shop?” When he said this, Chen Yuncheng was a bit baffled. He thought about Ning Junyan was not only a university student, but also seemed to be some kind of doctoral degree who had also studied abroad, but because his head was not right, he fell in love with him.

       Guan Anlin said, “I’m burning up at the thought of her dating another man in the future.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Your way of thinking is not normal.” After he said that, he was not in the mood to chat with Guan Anlin anymore. He closed his eyes and said, “I’m going to sleep.”

       The next morning, the tobacco shop was officially open for business. The flower baskets Chen Yuncheng had ordered were delivered early in the morning and placed on both sides of the shop’s front door, although no firecrackers could be set off, the atmosphere still looked lively.

       Customers who had previously booked cigarettes, alcohol and beverages through Boss Sun, were to start their official deliveries today.

       An old van was parked in front of the shop, which Sun Siliang had given them specifically for deliveries. In the morning, Chen Yuncheng and Guan Anlin took stock of the goods and moved them to the car one by one, ready to deliver the goods to the customer.

       For the rest of the time, Chen Yuncheng and the newly recruited Wu Xiaozhu continued to take inventory of the goods in the store and kept making adjustments to the goods on the shelves.

       This evening, Sun Shiliang asked Chen Yuncheng and the others to have dinner together, saying that it was to celebrate the opening of the new store and asked Chen Yuncheng to call Guan Anlin and Wu Xiaozhu together.

       Before hanging up the phone, Sun Shiliang said to Chen Yuncheng, “Xiao Chen, can you call Dr. Ning as well?”

       Chen Yuncheng froze for a moment and said, “I don’t know if he’s free today.”

       Sun Shiliang said, “That’s okay, ask him for me. If he can’t today, I will invite him to dinner another day. There’s an elderly person at home who needs an operation and I want to consult Dr. Ning.”

       Sun Shiliang had helped Chen Yuncheng too much over this period of time, and Chen Yuncheng had no way to refuse him, nor was he willing to give him a perfunctory answer, so he had to say, “I’ll ask him.”

       When he hung up the phone, Guan Anlin had already opened the van and got into the driver’s seat, he honked the horn and said to Chen Yuncheng, “Get in the car.”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded, turned around and gave Wu Xiaozhu a few words, pulled open the passenger door of the van and got in, and went to deliver the goods with Guan Anlin.

       Neither of them was familiar with the delivery address, so Chen Yuncheng took the delivery slip in his hand, entered the address into his mobile phone and opened the navigation.

       As Guan Anlin drove on, he occasionally turned his head and saw that Chen Yuncheng’s expression did not look too good and asked, “What’s wrong?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “It’s nothing.”

       Guan Anlin found some topics to talk about with him, “Boss Sun has introduced his distributors and clients to you, so when we have saved up enough capital, we will poach his clients and start our own business.”

       Chen Yuncheng glanced at him.

       Guan Anlin said, “It’s better than working for someone else.”

       Chen Yuncheng had been busy all morning, and he still didn’t feel relaxed even now. He leaned on the back of the chair and said, “Sun ge has helped me so much, so I will continue to help him as long as he needs it.”

       Guan Anlin hummed lightly and did not say anything.

       Chen Yuncheng remembered that he had a chat with Sun Shiliang once after drinking, saying that Sun Shiliang trusted him so much that he dared not let him down.

       At that time, Sun Shiliang was quite indifferent and told Chen Yuncheng to broaden his horizons, not put too much emphasis on profits, and not to care too much about gains and losses. He also drank a lot of wine, patted Chen Yuncheng on the shoulder, and said, “I’m a person who makes friends without expecting something in return. After a while, when you need help, you will find that all your friends are there, and they are willing to take the initiative to repay you. “

       Chen Yuncheng could feel a little bit of free-spirited energy in Sun Shiliang that did not belong to this era, and said, “Not all people are like that nowadays.”

       Sun Shiliang put his arms around his shoulders at the time, “Aren’t you just like that? You said why I gave you a hand, I thought you were like me and worthy of a sincere friend. Whether you can make money or how much money you can make is not important now. If this business is not doing well, we will replace it with another one, as long as there are friends, there will be a way to go.”

       Chen Yuncheng felt that he yearned for the free-spirited way of Sun Shiliang.

       They delivered the goods to the customer, and after unloading the goods from the car, the other party only had the middle-aged lady in the store, and Chen Yuncheng took the trouble to help her move the goods in and put them on the shelves.

       The lady thanked them repeatedly and gave them two bottles of mineral water after signing the form on their way out.

       Chen Yuncheng took off his coat when he was carrying goods. He sat in the car and unscrewed the water bottle to drink a mouthful of water.

       Guan Anlin said, “We’re done with the job after we unload the goods. We need to charge extra money if we have to help move the goods next time.”

       Chen Yuncheng raised his hand to wipe the water stains around his mouth, “It’s just a favour, don’t worry about it so much.”

       Guan Anlin said a few words in a low voice, started the car and left.

       After a while, Chen Yuncheng felt that the sweat on his body had subsided, and he also cooled down. He reached for his coat and put it on, and said, “After delivering the goods, take me to the hospital, and go back first. Then, take Xiaozhu to have dinner with Sun ge at night.”

       “What are you going to the hospital for?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked ahead and sat quietly for a while before saying, “Sun ge told me to invite a friend over there, so I’m going to the hospital to invite the friend.”

       “Which friend?” Guan Anlin couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked for more information.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “You’ve seen him before, it’s the friend that lent me his house to stay for a while before.”

       “Oh,” Guan Anlin understood, and his tone was not very friendly, “The one that drives the Land Rover.”

       Despite his reluctance, Guan Anlin still dropped off Chen Yuncheng at the hospital entrance and drove off by himself.

       Chen Yuncheng stood at the door and looked at the gate of the hospital where people were coming and going. He took out his mobile phone and hesitated for a while, but he still didn’t call Ning Junyan and walked directly into the hospital.

       According to the frequency of Ning Junyan’s night shift, he should be on the day shift today.

       Chen Yuncheng went to the floor of Ning Junyan’s department in the inpatient building. It was just after the new year, and the hospital was already full of patients, and there was almost no room for extra beds in the corridor.

       All the nurses were busy, and no one noticed him. He looked like an ordinary family member of a patient, and walked along the corridor to the door of Ning Junyan’s office, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response inside.

       He stepped back, went to the resident doctor’s office, and asked a doctor who was walking outside, “May I ask if Chief Ning is in today?”

       The doctor said, “Yes, I guess, he’s here for all the morning rounds.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked again, “So is he in surgery now?”

       The doctor turned around and asked someone, and told Chen Yuncheng, “He should still be in surgery.”

       Chen Yuncheng thanked him, walked to the bench in the corridor closest to Ning Junyan’s office and sat down, waiting for Ning Junyan.

       A nurse stopped in front of him and looked at him curiously.

       Chen Yuncheng nodded at her.

       The nurse smiled and said, “I’ve seen you before, you’re Chief Ning’s friend, right? Are you looking for him?”

       Chen Yuncheng stood up and said, “Yes, when will he probably be back?”

       The nurse said, “The operation is ongoing. But it seems to be taking quite a long time, so I guess it’s almost time to be done. Just wait a little longer.” The nurse left after speaking.

       Chen Yuncheng then sat down again, leaned back and waited. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and thought that if he couldn’t wait for Ning Junyan until six o’clock, he would only go to Sun Shiliang first, and try to contact Ning Junyan later.

       In the end, he waited for about half an hour and saw Ning Junyan’s figure appearing in the corridor.

       Ning Junyan was wearing a white coat, his hair was slightly damp, and his tall and straight figure was slowly approaching from a distance. When Chen Yuncheng saw him, he obviously saw Chen Yuncheng too, but no expression could be seen on his face.

       Chen Yuncheng stood up and was just about to speak when a young doctor with a medical record book stopped Ning Junyan’s path and opened the book in his hand to say something to him.

       Ning Junyan withdrew his gaze from Chen Yuncheng, looked at the medical record in front of him, flipped through the pages with his hands, turned around and followed the young doctor out.

Chapter 63

       Time seemed to freeze briefly between the two of them. Chen Yuncheng kept looking at Ning Junyan. He felt that a long time had passed, but in fact, it was only a minute or two.

       Nevertheless, Ning Junyan let go of Chen Yuncheng’s hand. He remained silent, threw Chen Yuncheng’s wrinkled jeans on the edge of the bathtub, and untied the belt that tied Chen Yuncheng’s wrist.

       Because it was too tight, it took Ning Junyan himself some time to loosen the belt completely.

       Chen Yuncheng lowered his head and saw two deep marks on his wrists, which were already red and purple in colour.

       Ning Junyan stretched out his hand to pick up Chen Yun Cheng, who was still kneeling in the bathtub. Chen Yuncheng’s body was visibly tense, and he pushed Ning Junyan with his hand, who said, “I won’t touch you.”

       Chen Yuncheng was carried to sit on the bed and then watched Ning Junyan go into the bathroom and take out his pants.

       Ning Junyan squatted down beside the bed and helped Chen Yuncheng put on his pants.

       Chen Yuncheng could have done it himself, but he didn’t stop Ning Junyan. He knew that Ning Junyan was feeling bad, and he himself was feeling equally bad.

       The tools that Ning Junyan had brought back were still scattered on the bed, and Chen Yuncheng felt upset after seeing them.

       After he helped Chen Yuncheng put on his trousers, Ning Junyan went to get Chen Yuncheng’s coat. The corners of his eyes were still slightly red, but his expression was cold, and after putting on the coat to Chen Yuncheng, he said, “Let’s go, wherever you want to go, I will drive you.”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       Ning Junyan drove Chen Yuncheng away. Chen Yuncheng planned to go to the commercial market to find a daily rental house first, so he asked Ning Junyan to take him directly to the market, but Ning Junyan said nothing and drove Chen Yuncheng there in silence.

       It was only the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, and although many people had already started working, for many others, the year was not yet over.

       There were not many cars on the streets, and the area of the trade market was also deserted.

       Chen Yuncheng sat in the passenger seat, rubbed his strangled wrist subconsciously, and stared out of the car window, mentally exhausted.

       Ning Junyan parked his car in the parking lot outside the trade market, which was empty, with hardly any cars.

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him and said, “Thank you.”

       Ning Junyan opened the car door, got out of the car and helped Chen Yuncheng take out the suitcase.

       Chen Yuncheng took the suitcase and put it at his feet. When he saw that Ning Junyan turned to get into the car, he reached out and grabbed Ning Junyan’s sleeve.

       Ning Junyan stopped and looked down at his hands.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “There is one thing I haven’t had time to say before. That Yu Jie. Tell your mother to be careful about him.”

       “Which Yu Jie?” Ning Junyan’s voice was a little hoarse.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “The one who was eating at your house that day. Although I don’t know what he is doing now, he had cheated on my friend before and was doing illegal business at that time. I’m afraid that something will happen if your mother does business with him.”

       Ning Junyan nodded, he didn’t say anything and opened the driver’s door to get in the car.

       Chen Yuncheng had been standing on the side of the road looking at him, with two suitcases leaning against his legs.

       After Ning Junyan got into the car, he didn’t look this way again. He reversed the car sharply, then turned the car around, and drove the car out of the parking lot.

       The speed was too fast, Chen Yuncheng subconsciously stepped forward to tell him to drive carefully, but he couldn’t say it out.

       Chen Yuncheng knew that there was no way to get out of Ning Junyan’s place easily today, but he hadn’t expected it to come to such a state.

       When Ning Junyan was being harsh, he was very angry. He couldn’t accept Ning Junyan treating him like this. At that time, every word said at that time was from his heart, but once Ning Junyan compromised, he immediately softened his heart, like he had done something wrong to Ning Junyan. The bruises on his wrist were still clearly visible and he was already starting to feel guilty.

       Chen Yuncheng pushed his two suitcases and walked slowly outside the parking lot.

       The trade market was on the outskirts of the northern city. It was a newly developed site with very few high-rise buildings around it. There were still old buildings and narrow streets on the outskirts of the city. It was easy to rent a room in such a place, and it was all very cheap.

       Chen Yuncheng rented a daily rental room, which the landlord had partitioned from a large room, with no windows and only a pale white fluorescent light overhead.

       He had little appetite for lunch, and Chen Yuncheng didn’t leave the room until evening to find something to eat.

       The New Year was not yet over, and many shops were open during the day but closed early in the afternoon, so it was not easy to find a small restaurant that was open.

       As Chen Yuncheng walked outside, he didn’t know if it was in his mind, but he felt that the temperature here was even lower than in the city centre, and when the cold wind blew over, he unconsciously wrapped his thin down jacket tightly.

       Later, he found a small restaurant, which was opened by an outlander. When he sat down to eat, Chen Yuncheng chatted with the owner. The owner said that he hadn’t been back for the New Year, and the restaurant was open for the whole New Year.

       He asked for a gaifan1Gaifan or gaijiaofan is a type of dish in Chinese cuisine typically offered in low-cost establishments. It consists of a fish, meat, or vegetable topping served over rice..

       At this time, he was the only customer in the store, and the owner put the plate of gaifan on his table, and sat not far away, staring at the empty street outside in a daze.

       Chen Yuncheng mixed the rice with a spoon.

       The boss turned his head and saw the mark on his wrist. He let out an “ouch”, and asked, “What happened to your hand?”

       By this time, the strangle marks were completely bruised and looked a little gruesome.

       Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I accidentally hurt it.”

       The owner asked him, “You’re working before the end of the year?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Yes, I have to eat.”

       The owner nodded and seemed to empathise with him. He lifted one leg and bent it over the other, saying, “Money is not easy to earn.”

       After eating, Chen Yuncheng went back to the daily rental place alone.

       At this time, the sky was completely dark, and most of the houses on the side of the road were closed and their lights were turned off. Only the cold white street lamps illuminated the road in front of them.

       When Chen Yuncheng walked halfway, his phone rang. He stopped, took out his phone and took a look, and saw that it was Guan Anlin calling.

       After he answered the phone, the two chatted for a while, Guan Anlin heard that he had moved out, and asked him if he was going to start work.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Boss Sun said that some workers would be back tomorrow, so he asked me to keep an eye at it. After the Chinese New Year, the store can almost open for business.”

       Guan Anlin heard the words and said, “Then I’ll come back early.”

       After they chatted a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

       Chen Yuncheng was still standing on the side of the road, with a lonely back. He swiped his fingers in the phone address book for a long time, finally found Ning Junyan’s number, and called Ning Junyan.

       He had said before that even if he moved out temporarily, his relationship with Ning Junyan would still not change. He didn’t know whether Ning Junyan believed him or not, but he hoped to put Ning Junyan’s mind at ease.

       But Ning Junyan didn’t answer the call.

       Chen Yuncheng raised his head and looked at the street back and forth in a daze. He waited for a long time until the phone hung up automatically, then he put the phone back into his trouser pocket, put his hands into his jacket pockets and continued walking towards the front.

       He had grown up with more experiences than others, and he often told himself to be content, or he would be unhappy. So he asked for less than other children, and he felt satisfied when his foster parents gave him a bite to eat.

       It was not that he was cheaper than others, it was just that he would not be satisfied if he expected too much. So it was better to ask for less and live happily instead.

       He used to tell others that he wanted to find an ordinary girl to be with, but he had never found one, and he had always resisted the relationships, fearing that the more he invested, the more he would be hurt in the end. He sometimes felt that his way of thinking was unhealthy. This might be related to the fact that he had no parents and no complete family. On the surface, he was all about giving and did not need others to reciprocate, but in reality, he was afraid of not getting anything in return, so it was better not to ask for extravagant things.

       Ning Junyan’s way of thinking was also unhealthy in Chen Yuncheng’s view. Chen Yuncheng thought of his parents and the four years they lived and grew up together. Perhaps Ning’s dysfunction was also due to his lack of a sound family.

       So they were both very insecure and while Chen Yuncheng’s lack of security led him to resist, Ning Junyan was overly solicitous. Their mental health brought them to where they are today. Chen Yuncheng just wanted to take a step back to calm himself down, but he didn’t know if Ning Junyan had decided to give up.

       Chen Yuncheng was very sad.

       At the same time, Ning Junyan had a headache. He sat on the bed alone, wrapped the metal chain around his wrist twice, and watched the end of the chain hang down, dangling in front of him.

       He also ordered a pair of handcuffs and a collar, both of which were made of metal and covered with a layer of soft leather. Although he let Chen Yuncheng go, he did not intend to return them.

       The headache started in the afternoon. He was standing by the bed trying to pack up the things in the toolbox, but he started to have a headache after half of the packing. He didn’t continue and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

       It was already dark when he woke up, and Ning Junyan did not want to eat. He sat on the bed and fiddled with the chain he bought. He originally planned for one end to be fixed into the wall, and the other end was movable and could be replaced with handcuffs or a collar that could be worn on Chen Yuncheng’s body, so that Chen Yuncheng could move around from the room to the bathroom, and the lock cannot be unlocked without his key.

       He knew it was against the law. He had studied for many years, and his legal knowledge was more abundant than many people, but when he was doing this, his mind was empty, and his only thought was not to let Chen Yuncheng leave.

       He was not afraid of breaking the law, but he was afraid that Chen Yuncheng would not forgive him, so he still failed to do so.

       When the mobile phone on the bedside table rang, Ning Junyan turned his head to take a look. He saw Chen Yuncheng’s name, but he didn’t answer it.

       At this moment, he had a headache again. He threw the metal chain aside, went to the medicine box outside to find a painkiller, and then went back to the room and slept directly on the side where Chen Yuncheng slept. The pillow seemed to still smell of Chen Yuncheng, Ning Junyan lay on his side, pulling the quilt over his head. Before he fell asleep, he thought about how he had to work tomorrow and how he had scheduled an operation in the morning, and how his custom-made collar was coming soon, so he really wanted to put it on Chen Yuncheng himself…

Chapter 10

       Xu Ye felt like he had been doused cold by a bucket of water, his face froze, and he lowered his head in frustration. At this moment, his wrist was grabbed by a warm hand and before he could react, he was pulled into a firm chest. Above his head, there was a man’s low and smiling voice, “Only I can hold you.1Xu Ye was asking before if he could hold him and here he was saying that only he could hold Xu Ye and not the other way

 

       The light scent lingered on the tip of his nose, and he could feel the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest as Xu Ye put his arms around his waist, curled up his legs, and lay in his arms completely relaxed. He finally found himself hopelessly addicted to it. Even though the temperature in the house was set at a comfortable level for naked bodies, he just wanted the warmth in this embrace.

 

       The man’s hand descended from his head, gently stroking his smooth back.

 

       Nothing erotic, just soothing.

 

       “This afternoon, you were resisting so fiercely. Why?”

 

       Xu Ye’s body obviously stiffened for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, “I went out with friends in the circle before, and a group of people got drunk, so they found a hotel to rest. I didn’t drink too much and was woken up in the middle of the night by screaming from next door, the sound was terrible… I asked someone to open the door, only to find out that the two who stayed next door had actually lost control of themselves after drinking and r4p3d a young male waiter…” He paused for a moment before continuing, “When I entered the room, I saw that the waiter was covered in blood…on the bed sheets and also on the carpet…and called 120 to save his life. After that I never went out with those people again, I heard that the matter was settled with money.”

 

       It was not uncommon for the pampered sons of a wealthy family to get together and let loose, but it was something that Xu Ye couldn’t tolerate, and then he kept a distance from those people after that. The shocking sight of that incident cast a shadow over him. So later, even though Xu Ye let others use intense methods to induce pleasure, and used some toys appropriately, he never allowed others to really use their sexual organs to enter his body.

 

       “Did my actions this afternoon remind you of this?”

 

       He nodded.

 

       “You have trauma on this matter, and you dare to choose a stranger to be your master. Are you not afraid that I will do to you what some doms do?” The man asked.

 

       “I thought at the time that if you forced me to do something I didn’t want to do, I could resist.” Xu Ye answered honestly.

 

       “Why didn’t you resist this afternoon?”

 

       “You said you would ensure my safety.” He tilted his face up, and his eyes glowed like obsidian under the light.

 

       What kind of illogical trust is this? The man was stunned, then lowered his eyes and smiled, “Xu Ye, although I will try my best to keep the situation under control, I don’t know what you’ve been through and I can’t predict your reaction perfectly every time. That was the case this afternoon, and even though I stopped in time, I still made you feel overly panicked, I’m sorry.”

 

       He was apologising.

 

       Xu Ye was completely stunned and looked at him closely with a pair of big eyes.

 

       There was no trace of teasing in the eyes of the man in front of him. The man was serious.

 

       “…It’s because of me, it has nothing to do with you…It’s because I forgot to do what you asked…” Xu Ye said. The apology made him nervous instead, and the guilt that swept over him made him unconsciously clutching at the man’s shirt.

 

       “Relax.” The hand that rested on his back patted him gently, “This is not an apology from a master to a slave, but an apology from me to you as an equal. The master-slave relationship is a matter between two people, and I will take on the responsibilities that come with being a master, and you will need to give feedback and cooperate, such as the communication like now, so that I can get to know you better.” The man’s hand stroked his back, leaving a warm touch, “To ensure that I can sense your tolerance boundaries in time for some situations, I will let you pick a safe word. Whenever you say that word, I will stop anything that could hurt you.”

 

       “Can any word be used?” Xu Ye blinked.

 

       “Preferably not common words, or words that may be used frequently in the course of behaviour, such as ‘don’t’, ‘stop’, ‘it hurts’, and so on. Such words will make it impossible for me to tell if you are really in danger and it may also arouse my interest in continuing to go deeper.”

 

       Xu Ye thought about it, looked at him, thought about it again, and finally made up his mind, “Can I use your name as the safe word?”

 

       The man looked directly at him with his dark black eyes, “You don’t know my name.”

 

       “No, I don’t know.” He buried his head down again in frustration, his voice muffled with strange emotions, “So if you don’t tell me, I won’t have safe words for a day.”

 

       The man smiled, “Don’t regret it when the time comes.” With that, he gave him an uncomfortable slap on the buttocks, the pain woke him up and Xu Ye sucked in a breath. “Next time you’re punished I might blow your ass open.”

 

       “You won’t.” Xu Ye raised his eyebrows, his tone full of determination. After a while, he seemed to remember something and asked, “I have a question…”

 

       “Go on.”

 

       “If… I mean, if I had made preparations at that time, would you… have done it?” He finished speaking intermittently, his cheeks flushed again.

 

       “Would you like for me to continue?” The man asked with a smile.

 

       He didn’t speak and held his tongue for a long time. He finally buried himself in the man’s arms and moved his head up and down slightly.

 

       The man couldn’t help laughing, “Aren’t you afraid?”

 

       “…I don’t know.” Xu Ye’s face was burning hot. At that moment he was aroused by the man’s provocation, and found that he did not reject the man’s entry, and even had a little expectation in his imagination.

 

       “No.” The man gave him the answer.

 

       “Why?” Xu Ye was surprised, he obviously reacted back then, didn’t he?

 

       “Some things lose their meaning if they go too fast, and it’s my pleasure to be in charge of the rhythm of it all.” The man said leisurely.

 

       Sure enough, all doms are control freaks. Xu Ye thought.

 

       They chatted a lot. As Xu Ye guessed, the man had a wide range of knowledge. He had read almost all the books in that study room. They had a lot of common understanding, and the topics jump from travel, sports, and movies to finance and corporate culture, and to psychology. The man’s theoretical sophistication in BDSM was outrageous. When he said that Foucault2Paul-Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, historian of ideas, writer, political activist, and literary critic. Foucault’s theories primarily address the relationship between power and knowledge, and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions. used ‘infinite imagination of desire’ to describe this irrational relationship, Xu Ye smiled empathetically. In the process of being controlled, he couldn’t see himself, but he could imagine his body flushed and humiliated when he was whipped. Such imagination stimulated his desire and gave him pleasure. This was not substantially different from ordinary men masturbating to an AV3adult video. The man told him about the development history of SM, the psychological needs of sadism (the tendency to abuse) and masochism (the tendency to be abused), and also talked about the current situation of the entire domestic circle.

 

       Xu Ye would offer some of his own opinions and ask questions from time to time. Now he understood why a dom has many subs because the ratio of the number of people between the two was very different. The reason why the number of subs was much higher than the number of doms was that most of the time subs only need to simply obey, while dom needs to control everything by himself which was actually quite tiring. If you compare BDSM to performance; the dom, as the main character, had to organise everything from the script onwards, from the timing of the scenes to the handling of props and expression language. In a sense, everything the dom did was in service to the sub, to give him pleasure. So an excellent dom must be very calm, while he controlled the sub, he must also control himself. And those doms who only use tyrannical means to satisfy their own desires were not welcome.

 

       Xu Ye quietly looked at the man beside him and felt very lucky in his heart.

 

       He was undoubtedly the best of the doms. He was strong and gentle, like a king, possessed dignified decisiveness to kill, but also has gentle tenderness.

 

       Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the clock was ticking past nine, Xu Ye asked, “Don’t I need to go to the cage tonight?” He remembered that the man once said that he would give him orders every Saturday night.

 

       “No need.” The man patted his still slightly red buttocks, “After taking a bath, put on the ointment and go to bed. I put the ointment by your bedside.” Xu Ye nodded and heard the man add, “If you can’t sleep or wake up from a nightmare, you can call me on my mobile. You have to have breakfast ready by eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”

 

       Xu Ye thought he would not be able to sleep.

 

       He didn’t have difficulties sleeping in a bed other than his own, but it was too early for him. He hadn’t been in bed before ten since he was at university.

 

       This day’s slave life was new and interesting to him. He entered the state much faster than he had imagined. When he lay down, his mind was peaceful, not full of confusion and entanglement as usual. All those desires that couldn’t be aroused and had nowhere to go, restless emotions, doubts about himself, and trivial matters at work seem to have disappeared, and his mind and body relaxed on the soft bed.

 

       The only voice in his head was that of the man, low and gentle, echoing faintly.

 

       He fell asleep quickly and was woken up by the alarm clock next to his pillow at seven o’clock in the morning.

 

       It had rained last night, quite heavily by the looks of it, but he hadn’t known anything about it. It seemed a long time since he had slept so deeply. Xu Ye got up and stretched his muscles in the courtyard. The leaves were still covered in raindrops and the air smelt damp.

 

       At half past seven he returned to the house, took off his clothes, put on his apron and began to make breakfast. Uncle Ye had already prepared the ingredients last night and specially told him how to make fried eggs well. Despite the theoretical guidance, it was still difficult to put into practice. It was either too raw or too burnt. After frying six eggs in a row, Xu Ye finally had a finished product that looked good. The man asked for a simple breakfast of bread, fried eggs, ham or bacon, juice or milk.

 

       It was five minutes before eight o’clock when everything was laid out on the table, and Xu Ye stood hovering at the entrance to the stairs. In fact, his curiosity about the man had reached its peak, and he had been calculating the thoughts of ‘He would definitely not wear a mask when he sleeps’, and ‘If I go in now, maybe I can see his face’ and other thoughts. But a voice on the other side warned him ‘He forbids you to see and you should not violate’, and ‘If you do this, you will be punished severely’, so he hesitated, pacing around like an ant on a hot pan. It was only when he saw the man in the light grey mask coming down the stairs that he hid his regretful little thoughts and smiled up at him, showing his neatly set teeth, “Good morning, Master.”

Chapter 9

       “Now do you know if I am feeling it?” The upward trailing ending tone intoxicated him as the man intensified his tongue lapping at his ear. The wet and soft touch teased the weak ear, which made Xu Ye couldn’t help but tremble involuntarily. “Looking at your reddened chest from the whipping, your buttocks that were exposed outside your apron when you washed the dishes, the way you cried at my feet, and now, your trembling body…” He paused and sucked Xu Ye’s reddened earlobe in his mouth, and rubbed it lightly with the tip of his tongue and teeth, every word entered into his ear along the capillary, “Everything is going to give me some sensation.”

 

       A low gasp escaped Xu Ye’s throat, tinged with suppressed urgency. He was unable to resist such ambiguous and extreme verbal teasing, he could only let the tide of emotion turn over as his strength seemed to be pulled away little by little. He leaned forward on the man unconsciously, the frequency of each other’s heartbeat and breathing intertwined, closer, more intimate, more uncontrollable.

 

       “Look at you, we’re just merely talking and it already excites you…” The man’s hand on his back slowly slid down, his fingers lingering in the crease, and slowly pulling it out to close it, getting infinitely closer to Xu Ye’s hidden area without actually entering it. Xu Ye was helpless against his teasing and was slowly cooked like a potsticker. “Little slave, you are so lewd.” The last two words were spoken close to his ears, and his lips touched the part where the delicate vein of his ear could be seen, causing him to pant unbearably. The transparent liquid seeped out from the aroused lower body, like pitiful tears. Xu Ye couldn’t help reaching out to touch it but was firmly restrained.

 

       “Tell me, what do you want?” The man’s fingers stopped at the entrance of his arsehole, and his voice was full of temptation.

 

       “Master, it hurts…” Xu Ye was so turned on that his ability to think was gone, he just looked at the other party mournfully, rubbing his lower body on the bathrobe.

 

       “That’s not an accurate answer.” The man’s fingers circled viciously behind him.

 

       “Hold me…” He struggled to utter these two words with a flushed face, feeling that his whole body was roasted. The feeling of being forced to beg someone for sex made Xu Ye unable to lift his head in embarrassment, and there was only one sentence in his chaotic mind, “Please let me cum…”

 

       The man hooked his lips and smiled, “If you’re asking, shouldn’t you be a little more sincere?”

 

       Xu Ye’s eyes closed as his ability to think was clouded by his desire, and he opened his mouth again in desperation, “Master, en…please hold me…”

 

       “Not so fast, I need you to recall the rules.” The man pressed his lower back and pressed him into his arms. “What did I ask you to do after cleaning?” Xu Ye tilted his neck softly, staring at him blankly. It wasn’t until he was slapped on the butt that his eyes became clear. “… Lubrication.” He finally remembered, and his face went white, it was something he had forgotten to do after the shower.

 

       Xu Ye was a little flustered to find that at some point the lust in the man’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by that familiar, unsettling, smirking expression.

 

       “Since you begged me like this, I shall make your wish come true.” Before the words were out of his mouth, the fingers that had stopped outside his arsehole squeezed in abruptly, making  Xu Ye cry out in surprise, and wanted to shrink forward, only to be held against the man’s body tightly.

 

       The closed canal was forcibly stretched open by the intruding foreign object, and the dryness increased the resistance and made the discomfort intensify. Xu Ye buried his head in the man’s chest, trembling and panting, trying to soften his waist and force himself to adapt. As the invading fingers reached the second one, the friction of the penetration caused pain in the canal. He whimpered and tightened the muscles on the inner thigh, pleading almost in tears, “Master…it hurts… “

 

       “It’s too early to call it pain. My size is many times thicker than this, which can give you a good sense of what pain is.”

 

       He wants to do it without lubricant!

 

       Xu Ye, who understood what it meant, turned pale. He was trembling all over and wanted to push away the person who was suppressing him, but he was pressed hard by the person on the kitchen bar. In terms of strength, he was no match for the opponent, which exacerbated Xu Ye’s panic.

 

       “Don’t move.” The eyes behind the mask were as cold as frost and snow, and a condescending sense of oppression came immediately. “You know very well that I can do anything to you, and if I want to use you, you must spread your legs and let me use them, whether you are ready or not. Since you’re too lazy to do the preparation, I don’t mind letting you wet yourself with your body’s own fluids. You can pray that later you have enough blood to make things go well for me.”

 

       Xu Ye’s face turned pale in such shock, even his desire disappeared, and he cowered in fear. When the man forcibly pulled one of his legs away, he grabbed the man’s arm with a firm grip and screamed with his eyes closed. The shrill ‘don’t’ echoed in the room, with a bit like a heartbreaking scream.

 

       Time seemed to stand still. There was no sound or movement, only the uncontrollable trembling of Xu Ye’s body. He opened his eyes cautiously and met the gaze of the man looking down at him from behind his mask.

 

       The man didn’t do anything, just looked at him quietly, his dark black lashes forming a small projection that made his eyes look even deeper. Such a subdued posture gave Xu Ye a deeper understanding of who was in charge, and he didn’t dare to move a muscle beneath him.

 

       “Remember this lesson, slave, there will be no next time.” The man let go of his hand.

 

       It took Xu Ye a long time to calm down from the panic he had felt just now. He realised that the man was letting him go, so he lowered his head and whispered, “Master, I’m sorry…”

 

       “Get up.” The man took out a wet towel and wiped his hands.

 

       Xu Ye didn’t feel the hardness and coldness of the bar countertop until now, and slowly got up. He was so frightened just now that his legs went numb and almost fell over.

 

       The man wrapped his arms around his waist to support him to stand still. The man lowered his head to examine his lower back and legs carefully, and asked, “Does it hurt anywhere?”

 

       “No.” Xu Ye felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He sniffed and said, “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

 

       “Go upstairs and get dressed, the chef will be here soon.” The man glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said.

 

       Xu Ye went obediently.

 

       The man’s home chef was a very talkative uncle surnamed Ye, who was a little fat, with curved eyebrows and kind eyes. He didn’t mention where he worked, but Xu Ye felt that there was a hidden aura about him, the calmness in his cooking that was similar to that of the chefs in his restaurant. The ingredients were all brought by the uncle, and the pattern changes every meal. He started with the selection of ingredients and explained to Xu Ye in great detail the preparation and key points of each dish, including a lot of knowledge about nutrition. As for things other than cooking, he didn’t mention a word.

 

       Xu Ye learnt very seriously, washing and chopping vegetables in a decent manner, and while peeling the potatoes he asked, “Uncle Ye, how long have you been working here?”

 

       “Almost two years.” The old man took a look and frowned, “The skin is too thick, keep your movement light.”

 

       “Uh.” He looked up and scanned the ground floor and asked softly, “Does Uncle Ye know what his full name is?” This was a tricky question. Xu Ye actually didn’t know what the man’s name was, and the man didn’t even tell him his last name, but it was as if he knew everything when he asked about it this way, just that he couldn’t tell which characters were which because of the many homophones in Chinese characters1Xu Ye was asking the character in the man’s name.

 

       The chef looked up at him, “Why don’t you ask him yourself?”

 

       “…I’m embarassed.” The trick didn’t work, Xu Ye concealed his disappointment and made excuses. The uncle squinted his eyes and smiled, which made him feel like he was being seen through. He thought to himself that this uncle was just a tricky old fox who wouldn’t fall for a trap. After peeling potatoes for a while, he couldn’t help asking: “Were there more people….living with him in this house before?”

 

       The uncle cut the green pepper and smiled, “You’re too embarrassed to ask him, but you have the nerve to ask me?”

 

       Xu Ye lowered his head in frustration, grabbed three peeled potatoes and went to cut them, the knife clattered on the chopping board, and he could be seen incredibly frustrated from the back of his head.

 

       Dinner was still served by the masked man, and he was responsible for tidying up after eating. During the whole process, the man didn’t say anything except “Bring another bowl”. Xu Ye didn’t dare to look at the man’s face after the fright in the afternoon, and now he was doing things in silence, not daring to say a word. After he heated a cup of milk for the man and put it on the tea table as requested, he was left standing in a state of confusion without being given his next order.

 

       The man sat on the sofa and patted the position beside him. Xu Ye thought for a long time, but didn’t remember the command gesture, and looked at him blankly.

 

       “Xu Ye, come and sit down.”

 

       He was taken aback. The man called him by his name, meaning to return him to his equal status. He stood for a while, with tangled struggles on his face, and finally walked over to sit down, gritted his teeth, and asked in a muffled voice, “Do you not want me?”

 

       The man seemed a little surprised, and asked with a smile, “Why do you think so?”

 

       “I made you angry, and you don’t even want to punish me.” Xu Ye lowered his head, his dark brown hair covered his eyes, and he looked a little depressed.

 

       “Do you think that I didn’t punish you because I want to get rid of you?” The man laughed when he saw that he was really upset about what happened this afternoon, “If I wanted to end a relationship, I would have made it very clear.”

 

       Xu Ye pursed his lips and turned to look at him.

 

       “As for me not punishing you, it’s because I think you have learned your lesson. Punishment is not something I am keen on, nor should it be something you are obsessed with. I punish you only to regulate your behaviour and to reinforce your awareness of your identity as a slave. You should remember this.” The man took a sip from the white porcelain cup on the table and handed it to him, “It’s not hot anymore, drink it. You ate too little tonight.”

 

       Xu Ye took the cup, and the warm milky fragrance passed over the tip of his nose along with the warm vapour, making his nose a little sore.

 

       “Did I scare you this afternoon?” The man’s voice was very gentle and magnetic and easily attracted his attention.

 

       Xu Ye nodded, then shook his head again after a while.

 

       When the man saw his dumbfounded look, he laughed softly and said, “Scared silly?”

 

       “Master, am I free to move about now?” Xu Ye asked suddenly.

 

       “Of course. Now is the time for equal dialogue, so you can tell me what you think and let me know how you feel.”

 

       He saw Xu Ye tilt his head and drank the milk from the glass, then licked the froth from his lips, and put the glass down. As if mustering up the courage, moved a little closer to the man, paused, moved a little closer and stammered, “I want to…” He looked at the other party and changed his wording, “Can I… hold you.”

 

       Seeing him looking at him with a red face, the man smiled, and his thin lips parted slightly, “No.

Chapter 8

       The man carried him straight into the guest room. Xu Ye blushed and asked to wash by himself. After he took a shower, he stood in front of the bathroom mirror to examine the marks on his body.

 

       His skin was quite fair, making those whip marks very visible, like bright lines on a canvas, creating a decadent and seductive appearance. The whip marks on the chest and back were in perfect harmony, symmetrical from side to side, and his buttocks were red like a ripe peach, which was more pleasing to the eye when it was drenched in water. The redness of the whip marks was striking, but not a single spot of skin or blood was visible. The man’s control of the force was at the highest level. This made Xu Ye secretly wonder how many subs he had practised with.

 

       He wiped off the water with a bath towel, and then went downstairs in a bathrobe.

 

       Several dishes were still steaming on the large western table, but the chef had already left. The man sat at the table waiting for him, the mask on his face was replaced by a lighter silver mask. Xu Ye took off the bathrobe with some disappointment and hung it on the hanger. He would have liked to have seen the chef, at least with a third person present he could have covered the marks with the robe.

 

       The body was once again completely exposed to the air and to the man’s sight. Xu Ye didn’t even dare to recall the scene just now—he was bullied to the point of crying like a child. It was so embarrassing and humiliating, that he now blushed unconsciously at the sight of the man.

 

       The man inspected him for a while, then patted his thigh lightly with his right hand.

 

       Xu Ye’s mind searched his brain like an electrical charge for a response to this command and quickly walked over to him and knelt down at his feet.

 

       “Good boy.” The man patted his head, “Let me tell you about the rules of dining. When the chef comes over, you will open the door, help him cook and send him away, and then come to inform me about the meal. I will let him teach you cooking techniques, and you must try your best to learn them. During the meal, you will keep kneeling by my lap unless I make a special request. After the meal, you will be responsible for clearing the tableware and washing the dishes.” Seeing Xu Ye’s somewhat stiff expression, he asked, “Is there a problem?”

 

       “Master, will I have to eat on my knees from now on?” He was frowning, he couldn’t get his hands on the food at all…

 

       The man looked at him and curled his lips, “Today I can allow you to sit and eat.”

 

       Xu Ye was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted, shaking his head like a rattle, “No need, master, I’d better kneel.” His buttocks were red like that, and the kneeling posture didn’t hurt, but once he sat down, it would hurt like hell, and it was equivalent to hitting him all over again.

 

       “Slave, it breaks my heart that you don’t want a rare benefit when I offer you one.” The smile in the man’s eyes intensified.

 

       This was not a benefit. This was simply punishment in disguise! Xu Ye cried out in his heart, with an aggrieved expression on his face, “Can I wear lighter clothes when I’m learning to cook? Bathrobes and nightgowns are inconvenient…”

 

       “You can wear the house clothes from the wardrobe in your room.”

 

       “I have no problem…” His stomach growled twice. He hadn’t eaten anything since morning, and he was already hungry now.

 

       “Go serve the rice.” The man ordered.

 

       Xu Ye rummaged through the kitchen cupboard and took out two bone china bowls with a vertical pattern and gold applique. First, he served a bowl of rice from the rice cooker, placed it in front of the man with both hands, and then the chopsticks and gave them to him. Then he went to fill his own bowl, took the chopsticks and knelt down. In the meantime, he took a few moments to glance at the dishes on the table.

 

       Curry beef, Longjing shrimp, scrambled egg with green pepper, broccoli in soup, and braised Chinese cabbage.

 

       The nutritional balance of meat and vegetables was just well proportioned. It seemed that his master paid attention to his diet.

 

       It was only when he started to eat that Xu Ye realised he didn’t need to think about how to serve the food at all. With the man taking care of everything, all he had to do was eat.

 

       Xu Ye didn’t like to eat broccoli, so he left all the broccoli the man gave him in the bowl, and tried to throw it away when he went to get his second bowl of rice. As a result, when he looked up, he saw the chopsticks with the broccoli in front of him. The man looked at him with a smirk and ordered, “Open your mouth.”

 

       Xu Ye took the broccoli with a bitter face, took a few bites perfunctorily, and swallowed it.

 

       “Do you want to finish the bowl, or do you want me to feed you the rest of the plate, one bite at a time?”

 

       “I can’t eat it…” Xu Ye muttered sullenly and ate the broccoli in the bowl.

 

       He was a fast eater. The disharmony in his family had made him feel insecure since he was a child, and the same goes for eating. He was the only one at the big dining table, and he was always used to taking a few quick bites and leaving. Later on, he was busy with work, and he wanted to do everything perfectly so that Xu Ting would not look down on him, so he was not too careful about eating. In addition, he was hungry today, and he ate more fiercely, and he finished the whole bowl in no time.

 

       “Why are you in such a hurry?” the man asked.

 

       He was stunned, “I’m used to it, and it’s sort of efficient.”

 

       “It’s not necessary.” The man picked up a piece of beef and put it in his bowl, “Eating too fast will put a strain on your stomach and make you sick in the long run. Besides, you don’t need to rush, and even if you finish eating, you’d have to kneel here until I’m finished. So, slave, you must learn to enjoy the taste of food slowly.”

 

       Xu Ye thought about it, deliberately increased the number of times of chews, and slowed down the speed.

 

       Although he lived alone, there were part-time workers cleaning the house on a regular basis, and he rarely cooked by himself or do much dishwashing. So his movements were very rusty. In addition, the feeling of being naked and wearing an apron was very uncomfortable… Well, the most important reason was that the man leaned against the kitchen bar and looked at him, making his hands and feet stiff.

 

       “Master…” Xu Ye held the plate that he accidentally chipped, and said awkwardly, “I get nervous when you look at me like that.”

 

       “Break one and you’ll be punished with an hour on your knees.” The man had no intention of looking away and laughed, “That’ll help you hold it steady, my slave.”

 

       Afterwards, Xu Ye really held it very firmly, until it was dried and put into the disinfection cabinet, and not a single dish was broken.

 

       The man sat on the sofa in the living room and summoned him, and Xu Ye quickly appeared like a summoned beast.

 

       This terrible obedience was something he couldn’t extricate himself from. But this feeling made him feel relieved, to let himself go, to focus all his attention on that man, and to obey.

 

       “Lie down on my lap.” The order was simple and direct.

 

       He leaned on the man’s leg a little shyly but got a slap on the buttocks. Although it was not heavy, it triggered the pain before, and he let out an “Ack”.

 

       “Up a bit.”

 

       Xu Ye moved forward like a caterpillar, his naked lower body rubbing against the surface of the man’s trousers, arousing tiny desires in his body. He was almost going crazy, he was clearly sexually frigid before, how could he look like he couldn’t resist the slightest temptation now?

 

       The more he tried to control it, the more uncontrollable it became. He tried to extinguish the small flames, but when the man moved his legs slightly as he turned to his side to get something, the feeling brought by the friction was transmitted to his limbs, completely burning up Xu Ye’s fire.

 

       As he sensed the reaction of Xu Ye’s lower body, the man chuckled and said, “Slave, although I’m glad that your body is so sensitive, you cannot cum without my permission, so you’d better restrain yourself lest I use another way to help you restrain yourself.”

 

       “Yes, Master.” Xu Ye blushed and lowered his head.

 

       He shivered as something cold landed on his buttocks, and then felt a warm hand slowly push the thing away, stroking his buttocks. The cool sensation penetrated his skin, which was very comfortable.

 

       The man was rubbing medicine on him.

 

       Xu Ye was in a daze for a moment. When he had been with Camel, although the other party was not vicious, he was not as meticulous as the masked man. Most of the time, he dealt with the wounds from the whipping by himself. He hesitated for a long time, and said softly, “Thank you, master.”

 

       The man’s hand movement paused, and he said, “You can move freely within my sight in the afternoon, and you don’t need to report to me when you leave for a short time like going to the bathroom.” After he said that, he rubbed him for a while and patted him on the back, “Okay, get up.”

 

       In the afternoon, a man checks his email on a tablet. Xu Ye picked a comfortable position and lay down on the cushion by the window to read a book, which was a copy of ‘Chinese Cuisine and Culture’ drawn from the bookshelf. He had been so exhausted the last few days that he felt relaxed by the greenery and soft sunshine outside the window. His eyelids were heavy, he glanced at the sofa not far away in a daze, curled up and fell asleep peacefully.

 

       It was already four o’clock in the afternoon when he woke up, and a thin blanket was covering his body.

 

       “Are you awake?” A deep voice came from behind him.

 

       As soon as Xu Ye turned his head, he saw the man in a bathrobe standing at the entrance of the building. The loosely tied bathrobe had a wide open neckline, revealing his good figure. His pale bronze skin was muscular but not overly toned, his slender physique enhanced by the muscular lines, and Apollo’s belt under the abdominal muscles was very sexy. He had obviously just had a shower, his body still smelling damp and fresh, and the mask on his face had been replaced with a pure black one.

.

       He took a bath at this time, it should be because he went to the gym just now.

 

       When he saw Xu Ye staring at him, he smiled and said, “Why are you blushing?”

 

       Xu Ye looked away, and muttered in a low voice unwillingly, “I used to have an Apollo’s line before…”

 

       “You can go to the gym on the second floor on Sunday morning. If you are free, I will teach you.” The man took a couple of sips from a bottle of mineral water from the kitchen and added, “You’re not bad in that shape now, you’re soft to hold.”

 

       What do you mean, soft? Does that mean I have no muscles? Xu Ye glared at him.

 

       The man suppressed a smile and said, “Slave, are you provoking me?” He grabbed Xu Ye’s arm, tore off the thin blanket that was covering his body, and let him stand naked in front of him.

 

       The distance was too close, and Xu Ye only felt his heart beating a little chaotically.

 

      “You’re no good anymore after a good sleep. Who allowed you to wear a blanket, huh?” The man lowered his head and whispered in his ear. The breath landed on Xu Ye’s ears, causing a burst of tingling sensation. Such deliberate teasing made his brain almost congested. Xu Ye subconsciously wanted to back away, but someone grabbed his waist forcefully and pressed his body against it.

 

       Through the bathrobe, Xu Ye could clearly feel the arousal of the other party. The eyes behind the mask were in danger of gradually waking up.

Chapter 7

       He had to be obedient. Obedient to this powerful man and said words that made him lose his dignity. Such behaviour made him feel ashamed. The shame of being controlled was entangled with the pain in his back, making his body go wild.

 

       Desire swept through him like the wind and waves.

 

       “Tell me what you’ve done wrong.” The man stood in front of him and lifted his chin up with the top of the bamboo stick, forcing him to kneel and tilt his head back.

 

       “I used the wrong honorifics…..Master.” Xu Ye answered quickly.

 

       The man seemed to be waiting for him to continue. As he saw his innocent expression of silence, he pursed his lips and said, “Looks like I really need to help strengthen your memory in some more profound ways.” He raised his hand and dropped the bamboo stick, pulling out a 1.2 metre-long black and white snake whip, “You like it, don’t you?” The man swayed the whips with a faint smile, “I’ll make you whole.”

 

       Xu Ye’s face turned pale. It was the same whip he had just taken off and tried, and he knew how painful it would be to be hit by it. At this moment, Xu Ye had a look of fear in his eyes, and pleaded, “Master…”

 

       Unperturbed, the man said in a deep voice, “First is the kneeling position.” The whip sprang out like a snake, and directly hit the inner side of the pair of thighs, precisely avoiding the vulnerable part between the legs.

 

       Xu Ye cried out in surprise and his body shook. As the pain spread, he bit his lip as he separated his joined legs to shoulder width and straightened his body.

 

       “And then there’s this rule.” The man raised his wrist, and a clear whip mark was left on Xu Ye’s fair body, from the left chest to the lower right. “Remember, what position did I tell you to be in?”

 

       “On my knees….until you allow me to change….” Xu Ye was gasping because of the pain, and also because of his surging desire.

 

       When being treated roughly, part of the pain and pleasure was transformed. Some people are turned on by this. However, there was a blurred boundary where the pleasure disappeared when the pain went above a certain level. This boundary varied from person to person. Sometimes some people push themselves to the limit due to excessive pursuit of the excitement brought by pain. Once this happened, only more pain could stimulate them, and accidents were prone to happen. At first, Xu Ye thought that he too had become numb to ordinary pain, but now he realised that was not the case. Camel once whipped him all over his body without arousing his desire, but in this man’s hands, he was so sensitive that he was hardly like him.

 

       “What was your posture when I came in?” The man slowly turned the handle of the whip against the left breast where the tip had just been swept, grinding the poor little bud. Xu Ye’s trembling continued to intensify, his hands twisted together behind his back, sweat seeping from his palms, and he replied tremblingly, “…standing.” His watery eyes were pleading, “I was wrong, Master…”

 

       “A very sincere look.” The man looked at him with a smirk, “Unfortunately you used the prop without my permission and left a mark on your body, such behaviour needs to be taught a lesson.”

 

       The whip is swept sharply down the left breast, diagonally, over the upright cornel, in perfect symmetry with the previous whip, forming a sharp cross in front of the body. Xu Ye’s screams and gasps were mixed together, pain and desire were intertwined on his face, and his eyes were misting with moisture. The part between the legs that was slowly raising its head was suddenly grasped by someone.

 

       Xu Ye looked at the half-squatting man in horror, only to hear him say leisurely, “The point of punishment is to teach you a lesson, not to give you pleasure.” Then, a light c0ck ring clasped around his semi-erect root.

 

       The desire after being bound by foreign objects did not subside, but rather it made it stand upright even more ostentatiously. This situation made the role of the clasp more obvious. Various noises rushed to his mind, and the pain in the inner thigh become more numb. There seemed to be a small electric current rushing through the chest, causing it to itch like needle pricks. The pain in the back somewhat subsided, and his whole body burned.

 

       It was desire, burning like fire.

 

       Xu Ye arched his body helplessly and impatiently and got a hot blow on his buttocks. The man stood in front of him and looked down at him, “Slave, now I’m going to give you a chance to reflect. Think carefully, and then tell me what you did wrong today. If there is concealment and lies, you know I have the right to do anything to you.”

 

       Xu Ye’s chest rose and fell violently with the gasp. He closed his eyes for a while to force himself to calm down, and then he said these words almost in one breath, “I didn’t obey your order to kneel in the cage, I have looked at and used your instruments without permission, I have left marks on your body that belong to you, I have used the wrong honorifics for you, and…”

 

       Be controlled, dominated, bound.

 

       Such feeling invaded his mind, forming a barrier layer by layer, making him almost completely lose the ability to resist, forgetting everything outside. Only the masked man in front of him controls his sight, his thoughts and his actions.

 

       There is no need to hesitate, no need to recognise, no need to think. Just obey, act and surrender.

 

       Xu Ye looked at his master with those misty eyes and completely gave up on himself, “The late arrival in the morning was not due to company commitments, but because….I overslept and I deceived you….”

 

       The man smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of the slave’s head as if comforting. “As a reward for your honesty, I will give you a privilege in the next punishment.” He put down the snake whip in his hand and said, “You can choose any tool hanging on the wall, and bring it to me. It is up to me to decide how it will be used.”

 

       Xu Ye instinctively tried to get up, but subconsciously stopped. He didn’t get the order to get up, so he looked up at the man with some resignation.

 

       “If you want to give up this privilege, I have no objection, slave.” The man sat comfortably on the sofa and watched him struggle with conflicts, enjoying it.

 

       Xu Ye resigned to his fate and walked forward on his knees. The carpet was thick and soft, and his knees didn’t hurt, but the arousal between his legs trembled with every movement, rubbing and touching his body, stirring his desire. However, the overflowing desire was stuck in that damned ring, and such repression made him almost go crazy.

 

       He struggled to move to the wall and finally chose a leather paddle with a short handle that looked relatively light. In his opinion, a paddle with a larger area of force would be less powerful than a whip. When he returned to his master and clapped the hand paddle over, the man smiled and said, “Not going to go round and have a closer look at the others this time?”

 

       Xu Ye gave the man a sorrowful look, then lowered his head to avoid the teasing gaze. There were several red marks on his body, and his eyes were tinged with lust, but he was desperately restraining himself, his helpless panting looked pitiful.

 

       “Turn around.” The man gave an order.

 

       He turned around and maintained a kneeling posture, with his back to the owner on the chair.

 

       When there was a blind spot in one’s field of vision, people would unconsciously feel insecure. He couldn’t see the movement of the person behind him at all, couldn’t predict, couldn’t judge, and couldn’t anticipate it. Xu Ye could only tense his nerves and wait for his action. But the person behind him seemed to deliberately increase this deterrent force, and there was no movement for a long time. Xu Ye almost collapsed from the overwhelming tension and his voice shook a little as he tentatively said with a trembling voice, “Master…”

 

       With a snap, the slap landed on the left buttock, which was even more painful than the whipping just now. Xu Ye cried out in pain, his eyes turned red, and his heart was filled with regret—Why did this thing hurts so much even when you hit with it!

 

       The man got up and took something, walked up to him, and ordered, “Open your mouth.”

 

       Xu Ye opened his eyes wide, but before he could react, the man had already cupped his jaw, forced him to open his mouth, pressed his tongue, stuffed the bright soft yellow ball in and pulled the clasp tight behind his head.

 

       It’s a gag. After he wore it, his mouth couldn’t be closed, nor he could speak, and the ability to swallow was also lost, and saliva could only drip through the gaps.

 

       “This is a small one. If next time you speak without my permission, there are a bunch of bigger ones waiting for you over there.” The man lifted his wrist and looked at his watch, and scanned Xu Ye’s panicked eyes. He said in a deep voice, “Next, I will use this paddle to slap your buttocks twelve times as punishment. If you dodge, the count will start from the beginning. Now put your hands on the ground and lift your buttocks up.”

 

       Xu Ye slowly crouched down, and the seam of his buttocks opened up a little bit because of his movement.

 

       The sense of humiliation was overwhelming.

 

       The shame of exposing his most intimate parts to others in this position was compounded by the silver threads dripping from the corners of his mouth, which he could not close because of the gad made this feeling even more profound. The painful swelling of his lower body made him aware of his growing desire under such circumstances. A warm liquid moistened the corners of his eyes, and he closed them.

 

       One stroke, then another, alternating between his buttocks.

 

       There was no room for bargaining in the cruel punishment from the man. There was a pause of about ten seconds for each blow so that the slave could fully feel the pain caused by each blow. Xu Ye’s moans and pants through the gag ball melted together, making it indistinct. Lust and pain were entangled together in an unpredictable way. He felt that he was like a small boat capsized in the waves of emotion, he was thrown high with the surging waves, and then fell into them, heaving and sinking. Sweat dripped on the carpet, and tears were suppressed in the corners of his eyes.

 

       When the twelve strokes were over, he felt a hand quickly remove the evil ring that had been binding him. And at that moment, he completely collapsed.

 

       Tears broke in his eyes as his climax gushed out.

 

       His legs trembled and fell limp, but the man took the first step to support his body that had lost its centre of gravity, carefully avoiding the part that had been whipped just now. After undoing his gag, he massaged his chin with his hands very gently, as if he didn’t mind getting Xu Ye’s saliva on him.

 

       Xu Ye leaned weakly in his arms, wrapped in the man’s faint scent. He said hoarsely, “Master, I was wrong…”

 

       “I forgive you.” The man looked down at him and spoke softly.

 

       The tears accumulated in his eyes suddenly flowed down uncontrollably, he hurriedly blocked it with the back of his hand, but the other party grabbed his wrist.

 

       “Why are you crying?” The black eyes behind the mask looked at him serenely.

 

       “I don’t know.” Xu Ye’s eyelashes were wet with tears, and his face was flushed, “It may be because of the pain, or it was too intense just now… I don’t know, I just feel like I’m going crazy. It’s like I’m really enjoying the feeling of being enslaved… It’s completely perverted….” He spoke intermittently, his voice choked up, “When I’m treated like this, I feel like I don’t have to think about anything. I don’t have to think about anything in my head, it’s very comfortable… I think I might be broken….”

 

       This was the first time he has truly expressed his thoughts like this and told another person about those entangled contradictions and anxieties, doubts and insecurities.

 

       “Don’t worry, I won’t break you.” The man smiled and stroked his hair like a small animal, “There are many ways to get pleasure, and the interaction between us is just one of them. You don’t need to feel guilty for feeling pleasure and relaxation in this way. Our relationship is based on the premise that you are willing to give yourself to me so that I can gain the right of mastery, otherwise, I have no right to force you to kneel at my feet. So, relax Xu Ye, this is just your way of life. Accept it, and accept yourself as you are.”

 

       Xu Ye was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked sullenly, “Will Master also get pleasure because of me?”

 

       The man smiled and said, “Of course.”

 

       “But you didn’t react at all.” Xu Ye moved his body as if he was touching something.

 

       “Little slave, the punishment for groping your master without permission will be severe. You’d better think clearly before doing it.”

 

       When he heard this sentence, the paw that had been moving under the man’s waist froze immediately.

 

       “It’s getting late, go to your room to clean yourself, and then go downstairs to eat.” The man helped him up. When the man saw him grimacing in pain, he simply picked him up by his arms.

 

       Xu Ye was startled, “Master…”

 

       “What, you think I can’t carry you?”

 

       “I’m afraid that you won’t be able to hold me steady when we go down the stairs, and it will be even more painful when I fall.” Xu Ye blinked.

 

       “Oh?” The man deliberately pressed the spot on his inner thigh where he had been whipped just now.

 

       Xu Ye took a breath and was sincere.

Chapter 6

       Xu Ye was speechless as he followed him to the second floor. The man pushed open the door of a room, “This is the guest room. Everything is newly prepared and is now for your use. If you have any requests for any of the furniture or decorations, you can let me know and I will replace them for you. You can also put your personal belongings here, but I will not allow other people to use this room while we maintain this relationship. In this room you are free, and when I allow you to return to this room, I agree to remove you from your slavery.”

 

       The room was also spacious and bright, decorated in warm yellowish tones, with a separate bathroom and balcony. There was a soft and wide bed in the middle, with a bookshelf, wardrobe, TV, and an IMAC on the computer desk. Xu Ye felt very satisfied, these were almost the same as his apartment.

 

       “Come in.” The man opened the bathroom door.

 

       The window opened onto the side of the white single-person bathtub, and the shelves on the wall were neatly arranged with various bottles and cans. A frightening number and variety, all of which Xu Ye noticed were unopened. The man opened the white cupboard door, and Xu Ye’s eyes fell on those neatly placed transparent packaging bags, and he turned red from the top of his neck to the top of his head.

 

       Those were the household enemas that Camel had used on him. At that time, he used all means to find ways to get pleasure, and he also tried many new and brutal gameplays.

 

       The man looked at him, “As the master, I will touch and use your body in any way I want. Therefore, in this house, no matter when and where, I ask you to keep yourself clean. You must use these tools skillfully to clean your body. If you can’t, tell me now and I’ll teach you. “

 

       “I can.” Xu Ye’s was already burning red as he scanned the cabinet for various cleaning tools such as long, thin, soft brushes and responded in a soft voice.

 

       The man closed the cabinet door with a playful smile on his lips, “Very good. If you don’t clean to my satisfaction, I’ll punish you. And I will not be lenient when I use you just because you hurt yourself while cleaning.”

 

       “Yes…Master.” Xu Ye blushed and responded stiffly with his eyes fixed on the floor.

 

       “Over there are all sorts of lubricant and enema fluids, if there isn’t one of these that you like, you can let me know and I will prepare it for you.” He pointed to the bottles and jars, “Make sure your insides are well moistened every time you clean your body, if you are unfortunate enough to forget and I happen to be using you…” The man stopped the sentence here and looked at Xu Ye with a smirk that made his body tense. “You know very well who will have a harder time when the time comes..”

 

       There was also a well-equipped fitness room and an oversized study room with bookshelves on three walls, like a mini library on the second floor. “When I allow you to move freely, you can use these places as you like. If you have a book you like, you can take it back to your room and read it. If you want to take it away, write down the title of the book and leave it on the table.”

 

       After the tour of the second floor, the man led him and briefly paused on the third floor. “The third floor is my private area, including the bedroom and my workspace. I need absolute silence when I rest, and you are not allowed to enter without my permission.” After he said that like it was not a big deal, they came to the fourth floor.

 

       As he pushed open the slightly heavy door, Xu Ye’s blood seemed to heat up all over his body.

 

       It was a room half-surrounded by transparent glass. As he looked up, he could see the blue sky and the dazzling midday sun. The man pressed a button on the wall, and a curtain was slowly drawn down over the window, blocking the daylight from the top.

 

       The most eye-catching item was the hook hanging from the steel beam in the middle of the zenith1The zenith is an imaginary point directly “above” a particular location, on the celestial sphere. The scale of the execution frame was much larger than he had seen in the club that day, and it had more functions. The lift-up massage table was placed to one side. Two large unbleached oak cabinets were placed against the wall. As for what was inside, Xu Ye felt that he could guess roughly. The room was covered in a cream-coloured velvet carpet, which was very soft to the feet. In the middle of the room was a black single sofa covered with white fox fur. Surrounding the entire room was all kinds of whips and wrist cuffs hung neatly as if all of it was on display, with some of the brass hooks left empty.

 

       “Everything here is new and has been sterilized, and some are still on the way in.” The masked man spoke up, probably sensing Xu Ye’s confusion. Xu Ye’s heart skipped a beat, at the fact that this man had such a delicate way of dealing with subs.

 

       “This room is called a cage. Just like its name, every time you enter here, you must be in a state of absolute obedience. I am your only master, and you only exist to obey my orders.” The man sat on a black leather chair, and with a low voice he said, “Come and kneel down.”

 

       Xu Ye did so, and his knees touched the carpet very softly.

 

       “From today onwards, you will arrive here every Saturday morning at nine o’clock and leave making breakfast on Sunday. If you cannot come, you must tell me in advance. I will order you to enter the cage every Saturday night. If I have no other orders, you must remain in the cage in a kneeling position.” He paused, and took a silver pointer2a stick is a solid rod used to point manually at hand, “Kneeling is a common posture for slaves. In this case, you must do your best to remain steady in whatever I do to you until I give you permission to change your position. When I tap my thigh, you are asked to kneel quickly at my side.”

 

       “Hands behind, legs apart, knees are at shoulder-width apart.” The man said, hitting various parts of Xu Ye’s body with the pointer in his hand, and the force was not too hard. “Straighten your spine and tuck in your waist. Hold your head up and show me your body.”

 

       Even with his clothes on, Xu Ye could clearly feel the touch of the pointer. It seemed that when he was with this man, his body became particularly sensitive. He straightened his body as required, and his gaze fixed on the man sitting in front of him.

 

       Satisfied with his kneeling posture, the man spoke again, “As a slave, you must treat me with respect and obedience. You must use honorifics when speaking to me. I allow you to address me as ‘sir’ when a third person is present. When I ask you to take an object, you must hand it to me in a kneeling position with both hands. I allow you to stand when a third person is present. When you walk with me, you must be behind me, not overtaking me, not walking alongside me, and cannot be more than two steps away. Do you understand?”

 

       “Understood, Master.” Xu Ye answered quickly. In fact, he had some aversion to these rules. They made him feel ashamed on the inside.

 

       “Very well. From now on, if you misbehave, I will punish you.” He tapped the pointer in his hand, “There is only one rule about punishment—whatever pleases me.”

 

       Xu Ye’s face turned pale, and he said, “Master, you once said that you would guarantee my safety.”

 

       “Don’t worry, I have many ways to get you punished under the premise of safety, and I promise you that every one of them will be memorable.” The man stood up, and the tall figure covered the light in front of Xu Ye, causing him to be in a trance for a moment. It was as if he was literally being dominated by this powerful presence before him, losing the ability to think until he heard the unresistable command from his mouth.

 

       “Slave, go to your room and clean yourself up, then come back to your cage.”

 

       The cleaning process was extremely difficult.

 

       In fact, Xu Ye had no experience in doing it by himself, and he had entrusted others to do it a few times before. This time he insisted, or he would be embarrassed. Because in his view, he was the dominant one before, ordering others to give him pleasure, but facing this man whom he called ‘Master’, he was a humble subordinate, thus instinctively resisting his power and dominance of the other party.

 

       By the time he returned to the fourth floor, nearly an hour had passed.

 

       The man was not there.

 

       The sunlight swayed among the branches and leaves, falling on his naked body to form small and shifting patches of light. He felt the softness of stepping on the cashmere carpet with his bare feet, and Xu Ye slowly walked around the cage, looking closely at the whips of different materials and shapes. He took one of the snakewhips off and tried it on his own arm. He didn’t use too much strength but it left a red mark, which was hot and painful.

 

       He opened one of the oak cabinets, and it was full of hand and foot shackles, gag collars, nipple clips, low-temperature candles, restraint tools, and rings of various materials of different sizes that dazzled him for a while. The other cabinet was just as he had expected. It was filled with all kinds of electric products in strange shapes and dazzling arrays, including some dangerous-looking electric shockers. One of the largest vibrators made him break out in a cold sweat, it was the size of one that could kill a man.

 

       “Are these toys to your satisfaction?” The man’s lazy voice came from behind, with dangerous air approaching freezing point.

 

       Xu Ye’s mind trembled, he turned around and knelt down. “Sorry, while you were away, I…” The explanation was cut off in half. His face was a little pale, and he knew very well that he had just used ‘you3less formal tone’ in a hurry.

 

       A cold light flowed in the eyes behind the mask, and the man didn’t say anything for a long time.

 

       Every minute of silence was torture. Xu Ye looked at him in bewilderment, like a child caught in the act of doing something wrong. He didn’t even realise that his emotions were being controlled by others, minute by minute.

 

       The man pulled out a two-finger-wide bamboo stick and walked behind him. In a cold voice the man said, “Tell me who you are.”

 

       Xu Ye was a little confused, but he didn’t dare to turn around to look at him.

 

       Soon, there was a crisp ‘pop’ and Xu Ye whimpered as a red mark appeared on his back.

 

       “Tell me who you are.” The same command for the second time.

 

       “Your slave.” He replied warily, his voice was a little weak, and his back was tense.

 

       This time the bamboo stick in the man’s hand did not fall. “Repeat who you are.”

 

       “I am your slave,” he replied quickly.

 

       “Tell me about your rights.”

 

       “I don’t have any rights.” The pain in his back gradually became clear, and it was burning.

 

       “Tell me your obligations.” No emotion could be captured in his words.

 

       “To make you… happy?” Xu Ye thought about his choice of words and trailed off the end of the sentence into a question.

 

       There was another crisp sound, and the bamboo strip fell neatly on the other symmetrical side of his back. Even though he tensed his body to defend against it, it still hurt.

 

       “Tell me your obligations.” The command was repeated.

 

       “I exist for the sole purpose of pleasing you and making you happy.” As he said this, Xu Ye dropped his head, and his naked body trembled slightly.

Chapter 37

       Neither of them really believed that wishing on a fountain would have any effect, but it was kind of heartwarming to give each other the chance to make a wish themselves.

       They left the small square, and the two had dinner.

       After they went out of the restaurant, Shen Huiming said, “There are still 13 hours left.”

       Suo Yang stood in the autumn night wind, looked at a few scattered leaves from a tree in the courtyard of the restaurant, and said, “How time flies.”

       A few years ago, Suo Yang was the kind of person who would plan out what he would do each hour in advance after waking up, for fear of wasting any of his days, but this habit had gradually disappeared in the past two years, mainly because he found himself getting tired more and more easily, so he simply used all the rest time to sleep or relax.

       It had been a while since he’d let a day pass so full.

       “It’s getting dark,” Suo Yang said as he stretched out, “Let’s go for a drink.”

       Of course, such an item was certainly in one of Shen Huiming’s plans, but he thought he would be the one to bring it up.

       Today’s Suo Yang always took him by surprise, some actions of the other party made him respond emotionally, and he felt that he was not the only one who was enthusiastic about the two of them.

       “Are you going to choose the place?” Shen Huiming asked.

       “You choose.” Suo Yang said, “I haven’t been to a bar for a long time, so I don’t know.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “I haven’t been to one for a long time.”

       When the two got into the car, Shen Huiming turned on the navigation and deliberately asked, “Are we going to have a small drink tonight, or are we going to get drunk without going home?”

       Suo Yang leaned on the back of the chair and said softly with a smile, “It depends on how things are.”

       Shen Huiming didn’t take Suo Yang to a place that was too noisy, so after much deliberation, he decided to go to a bar.

       He parked the car, entered the door and went upstairs.

       Suo Yang chose a seat by the window, with a wide glass window to look out, and the angle of view was very wide. From here, he could see the clock tower that had been there for hundreds of years.

       Shen Huiming ordered a drink, “The last time we drank alone was in New York.”

       It seemed like it happened just yesterday, and it seemed like a long time has passed.

       Suo Yang said, “But last time I didn’t drink to my heart’s content.”

       Shen Huiming looked at him with a smile, “Are you going to enjoy to your heart’s content today?”

       Suo Yang looked at him without speaking, feeling some mixed emotions.

       Suo Yang hadn’t really accepted anyone for so many years, and increasingly felt that he might not be able or fit for a relationship, but when he faced Shen Huiming, he always had the feeling that his ground was shaking.

       No one had ever made him feel like this before, so he offered to drink.

       Suo Yang knew himself well enough to know that once the alcohol level in his body rises to a certain level, his self-defence system would automatically be switched on, just like last time at Zhou Mo’s birthday party. Before he was sure that something was wrong with him, he had forced himself to calmly leave. He had a good grasp of his tolerance and would not make a fool of himself. Suo Yang had always been confident that he could balance his sanity and instinct. However, when he was too sober, his sanity would always deaden his instincts, even if he wanted to happen, he would be persuaded by reason. Therefore, today he wanted his instincts to come out to play, and all he needed was a little push, half a step forward was enough.

       As a person who had always been cautious, this was a rare risk that Suo Yang had taken in years.

       He leaned forward, leaned his elbows on the wooden tabletop, dragged his chin with his palms, and looked at Shen Huiming with a smile.

       “Yeah.” Suo Yang said, “I’m in a good mood today, and I want to have a few more drinks.”

       All people have desires.

       Suo Yang knew very well that he was just an ordinary person, he was not that noble, and he also had temptations that he could not resist.

       The drink was brought to him and Suo Yang picked up the glass.

       Some people were naturally attracted to each other. Suo Yang, who had not started drinking, just looked at Shen Huiming and felt that the other party was constantly hitting his innate mental state.

       The two lightly clinked glasses and Suo Yang closed his eyes as he drank.

       The mojito with mint leaves floats in the mouth with just the right amount of sweetness from the greenness.

       Just one sip of drink was not enough to make Suo Yang drunk, but when he raised his head to drink, the curvature of his jaw and the twitching of his Adam’s apple was enough to intoxicate Shen Huiming.

       Maybe the bar itself was an ambiguous place, where alcohol not only existed in the glass but also spread in the air.

       Suo Yang had very fair skin, and his face quickly turned red, but his eyes were still clear. When he looked at Shen Huiming, he gave Shen Huiming a feeling that the the feeling of a scarlet temptation that was ready to come out but was being restrained.

       This was a fatal seduction for Shen Huiming, and he even began to wonder if he shouldn’t drink with Suo Yang at all, for he was worried that he would do something to offend him.

       There were always times when people lose control.

       Shen Huiming could only do his best.

       As Suo Yang himself said, he would like to have more drinks.

       The thing about alcohol was that sometimes the more you drink, the more you don’t want to stop.

       Suo Yang had always been measured, but today he was inexplicably wronged by drinking, and he didn’t know what he was wronged for, let alone for whom he was felt wronged. He didn’t say anything, just drank one cup after another, and then looked at Shen Huiming with a smile.

       The atmosphere of the bar was ambiguous, the music was also ambiguous, and the two people sitting face to face were also ambiguous.

       Suo Yang said, “I thought you would take me to a lively bar.”

       As he spoke, Shen Huiming had just returned from downstairs with another drink.

       “What? Want to dance?” Shen Huiming stood by the table, or rather, stood next to Suo Yang. He looked down at the person sitting there as he uncapped the bottle of fruit wine.

       Suo Yang was still sober, and of all the drinks today, none were stronger than the one Zhou Mo had brought him last time.

       He looked up at Shen Huiming, smiled and said, “I don’t want to, it’s too noisy there.”

       Shen Huiming put the opened wine by Suo Yang’s hand and sat back across from him again.

       Suo Yang looked at Shen Huiming, listened to the song, and stroked the wine bottle with his fingers.

       “Let’s play a game.” Shen Huiming said suddenly.

       “What game?”

       Shen Huiming took out two boxes of dice from the desk drawer, “Compare the number, and then tell the truth.”

       Suo Yang laughed, “Such a childish game?”

       “Yes, because I find that it’s always me asking you questions and you don’t seem to want to know me too much.” Shen Huiming pushed one of the boxes of dice to Suo Yang’s hand, “Or, if you want, we don’t have to play, you can ask me questions directly, and I will answer them in every detail.”

       “Why?” Suo Yang put his palm on the dice.

       “Because I want you to get to know me better.” Shen Huiming replied seriously, “I want you to know everything you want to know. The people I like are not interested in me, and that makes me frustrated.”

       Suo Yang stared at him for a while.

       It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask, and it wasn’t that he wasn’t interested.

       Suo Yang was just used to only asking others  “How can I help you?” and “Can I help you?”

       Before meeting Shen Huiming, he never gave others a chance to really ask him real questions. Even if he did ask, it was always in a roundabout way and he would not give a clear answer.

       He didn’t like being probed and every trace of him was studied like he was a specimen.

       But obviously, this principle did not apply to Shen Huiming.

       He also wanted to ask Shen Huiming a question, but he was worried that he would offend him.

       The two looked at each other. Suo Yang took a sip of wine suddenly, and when he put down the bottle, he smiled and shook the dice in his hand.

       “I’ll guess big.”

       “Then I’ll guess small.” Shen Huiming looked at him and smiled, and the two rolled the dice together and opened them at the same time.

       Suo Yang won.

       This was exactly what Shen Huiming had in mind.

       Suo Yang looked down at the dice and hesitated for a long time before finally asking, “Have you ever been in a stable relationship?”

       Shen Huiming originally thought that Suo Yang would remain tense, but unexpectedly, this time he finally gave up struggling.

       “No.” Shen Huiming said, “It’s shameful to say that you are the first person to make me think this way.”

       Suo Yang laughed softly, didn’t say anything more, and continued to roll the dice.

       Suo Yang won the second round again.

       “Why me?”

       “The book you gave me tells me that this is the fate of love,” Shen Huiming paused, “but if I were to speak for myself, the only reason is that as soon as you appear, I can’t see anyone else. So, it can only be you.”

       This wasn’t the first time they had talked about their relationship, and the purpose of Shen Huiming’s presence at Suo Yang’s side had been clear to them from the start.

       It was just that, in the past, the discussion was always done in a light-hearted and joking manner, but now it was very serious.

       “I’m nothing much.” Suo Yang said.

       “As far as that is concerned, it’s up to me.” Shen Huiming looked at him, “Your image with me is defined by me.”

       “What kind of image do I have with you?”

       Shen Huiming laughed, “Hey, why are you cheating? How many questions have you asked after winning once?”

       Suo Yang was startled, then smiled helplessly.

       However, in the next round, it was Shen Huiming who won.

       “Did you have fun spending time with me today?”

       Shen Huiming had other questions he wanted to ask; Suo Yang’s views on some topics—love or sex, and there were many things he wanted to know how Suo Yang saw them, but the most urgent thing was to know whether the other party was happy because of him today.

       Not just happy, but happy because he felt happy.

       “Very happy.” Suo Yang said, “I haven’t been this happy for a long time.”

       Before Shen Huiming could say more, Suo Yang had already started to roll the dice.

       “I won.” Suo Yang surprisingly seemed a little eager, “What kind of image do I have with you?”

       Shen Huiming lightly pointed to the empty wine glass with his finger, and there was a piece of green mint leaf lying in the wine glass, which was the glass that Suo Yang used to drink Mojito just now, “Such an image.”

       Suo Yang didn’t understand and looked at him quizzically.

       “It looks clear and tastes refreshing, but when you really drink it, you can get drunk very quickly.”

       Suo Yang smiled softly, “Get rid of these vague metaphors, I want to hear the simplest answer.”

       “Before you were indifferent and restrained, and politely kept a safe distance from everyone.” Shen Huiming took a sip of wine, then looked at him again, “Then…”

       Suo Yang waited quietly.

       “I’m a little drunk.” Shen Huiming said, “Maybe some words will go too far.”

       Suo Yang still didn’t say anything, just looked at him.

       “Then occasionally I think you’re actually quite cute, and as for now,” Shen Huiming looked straight at Suo Yang, the music in the store was in the gap between the two songs, and he said softly, “Now, it’s this moment of you looking at me that’s sexy and makes me want to kiss you. “
