“Go take a shower in the guest room’s bathroom. Clothes will be delivered shortly, so there’s no rush to leave.”
Yan Sui first told Li Lan, then dragged Meng Ting towards the master bedroom. He was still worried that Meng Ting might have gotten sick.
They arrived at the master bedroom, and Yan Sui let go of Meng Ting’s hand. Then he touched her forehead and cheek, finding nothing unusual. Only then did he say, “You take off your clothes, I’ll go run some hot water.”
“Okay,” Meng Ting replied. The wet clothes on his body were quite uncomfortable. He took off his clothes himself, leaving only his underwear, and then headed to the bathroom.
Yan Sui was running hot water. When he saw Meng Ting come in, he waved at him. After Meng Ting rinsed off in the shower, he came over to soak in the bathtub. He grabbed Yan Sui’s shirt and started unbuttoning it, “You’re wet too, let’s wash together.”
Yan Sui’s cold demeanor finally eased a bit upon hearing those words. He pressed Meng Ting’s head back, directly placing his lips on his. Before Meng Ting could even react, Yan Sui swiftly entered, capturing the softest part of his mouth and kissing him.
This kiss had been on his mind since the teahouse in Lijia Village, and only now did he finally acting on it.
Meng Ting’s eyes blinked gently, but they still didn’t close. His gaze was fixed on Yan Sui’s brows and eyes, his mind blank, as if he had thought of something, but also as if he was thinking about nothing at all.
Because he was obviously distracted by looking at the person, his breathing soon became erratic and continued to worsen without any sign of returning to normal. Yan Sui let go of him, and Meng Ting directly half-lay back into the bathtub, his chest slightly rising and falling, his eyes dazed, and his expression quite confused.
Yan Sui curled his lips. He walked behind Meng Ting, squeezed some shampoo, and said, “Just lie there, don’t move.”
Meng Ting didn’t respond, but he didn’t move either. Yan Sui helped him wash his hair like this, doing it very carefully, trying not to get water in Meng Ting’s eyes and ears. After rinsing it clean, he stood up and took off his own wet clothes.
Meng Ting looked over, and Yan Sui continued to take off the last pair of shorts, “You soak, I’ll get in the shower.”
Just washing Meng Ting’s hair could elicit a reaction from him. Yan Sui felt a bit helpless about himself. As the warm water flowed down, he also began to wash his hair. He closed his eyes, letting the foam rinse out completely. Before he could open his eyes, a warm body pressed against him from behind.
“I’m not trying to do anything, I just want to hug you.”
Yan Sui felt that he had no resistance against Meng Ting, and Meng Ting probably felt the same way. He thought Yan Sui was good-looking, and since Yan Sui was his, he came over to ask for a hug when he felt it wasn’t enough to just look at him.
“Why did you use such cold water?” Meng Ting mumbled, but his hands still wrapped around Yan Sui’s waist and wouldn’t let go.
Upon hearing this, Yan Sui moved the switch toward the hot side, then turned around and hugged Meng Ting.
“Were you angry just now downstairs?”
“Mm,” Meng Ting didn’t deny it. Seeing that Dong Fei really made him feel a bit angry, but that was not what he was more concerned about. “And… your clothes are wet, a lot of people are looking at you. I’m a little upset too.”
Meng Ting thought to himself and emphasized again, “I’m only angry with them, it has nothing to do with you. I like you.”
Taking out one’s anger on others is not something Meng Ting would do; even while he was angry, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Yan Sui held Meng Ting’s hand and led him to the hot water. He lowered his head and held Meng Ting’s lips firmly. The water was pouring down above their heads. They hadn’t been able to kiss in the thunderstorm that covered the sky outside, but being under the shower felt a little different.
Meng Ting was so drenched that he couldn’t open his eyes. His feet slipped slightly on the foam, so he could only rely on Yan Sui to steady his balance. When he was slightly distracted, Yan Sui quickly followed in, retreating and advancing, leaving Meng Ting with no choice but to be thoroughly devoured from lips to the root of his tongue.
Yan Sui released Meng Ting, who once again let out a soft gasp. Yan Sui was also slightly panting, but what was even stronger was the desire that had been awakened once more. His kisses slowly moved from the corner of Meng Ting’s mouth down to his neck, and then continued further down.
Meng Ting opened his eyes and gently stroked Yan Sui’s back with his hand, looking a little reluctant to let go. After a while, he asked in a low voice, “I don’t have any misunderstandings now, do I?”
“No,” Yan Sui gave Meng Ting a definite answer, continuing to kiss him and turning him around, “You haven’t misunderstood, I want you.” Not just physically, he wanted Meng Ting, body and soul, he wanted all of him.
“Mm,” Meng Ting replied, then actively cooperated with Yan Sui. The shower water was turned off at some point, but neither of them noticed. His feelings were entirely focused on the other person and himself, and the overwhelming emotions drowned out his thoughts, making him unable to remember anything for a moment.
***
Outside the room, Li Lan took a tour around the guest room, then around the living room. The luxurious facilities here amazed him and made him feel out of place. He dried his hair and wiped his slightly wet coat, but since Yan Sui’s clothes were covering him, he was actually the least drenched among them.
The doorbell rang, and he hesitated for a moment before going to open it. It was still the lobby manager personally delivering the items. In addition to the three sets of clothes, there was also a food cart.
That person didn’t dare to ask more questions, let alone show any disrespect to Li Lan. He delivered the clothes and food and then left.
Li Lan sat in the living room, waiting for the rain outside to stop. He picked up his clothes, patted them, and then prepared to leave.
Although he guided Yan Sui and Meng Ting, it started to rain halfway. Meng Ting said it was fine, but later he even helped him get Dong Fei to apologize to him. Now, it’s not Yan Sui who owes him an answer, but he who owes Meng Ting a favor.
He furrowed his brow slightly in worry, unsure of how to repay this favor.
The thunderstorm lasted for nearly an hour and a half before it completely stopped. Li Lan didn’t wait for Yan Sui and Meng Ting to come out. His grandfather would be worried if he came home too late. He got up, put away the towel he had draped over his shoulders, and was about to leave. At this time, Yan Sui, wearing a bathrobe, came out from inside.
Li Lan leaned back again, but he didn’t see Meng Ting, and he felt a bit disappointed. Originally, he thought Yan Sui was more impressive, but upon entering the lobby, he found Meng Ting to be even more impressive, or rather, he had a better impression of Meng Ting.
“He fell asleep.”
Yan Sui also knew what he wanted to see. He walked over, carefully looked at Li Lan, and saw that his clothes were indeed not very wet, so he didn’t insist on him changing clothes. “Are you leaving? I’ll have someone take you.”
“No need, no need,” Li Lan immediately shook his head. He already owed them a favor, how could he owe them more? “I’m familiar with this road, I don’t need anyone to give me a ride.”
“I really have to go. If I get back any later, my grandpa will start worrying about me.”
Li Lan sighed lightly, hesitated no more, and walked towards the door. Yan Sui followed two steps behind.
“Is there a phone at home or nearby?”
Li Lan didn’t understand why but still replied, “Yes, we have it at home.” He didn’t use it much usually, but occasionally his homeroom teacher, Mr. Li, would call to talk to his grandfather.
“Mm,” Yan Sui nodded, handing a business card to Li Lan, “Call me when you get home.”
Li Lan looked at the seemingly extraordinary business card, his expression a bit restrained, but in the end, he still reached out and took it. “Okay, okay.”
Yan Sui walked him to the door but still didn’t close it. Only after Li Lan entered the elevator and the door closed, did he turned around and closed the door.
He wore a slight smile on his face. Like Meng Ting, he didn’t have a bad impression of Li Lan; at least, it was much better than that Dong Fei who dared to fight with Meng Ting.
Yan Sui walked to the edge of the sofa, pushed the food cart, and headed back to the master bedroom of the suite. Before the door was fully opened, Meng Ting’s head poked out first.
He was wrapped in a bathrobe, with a slight blush still lingering on his face. His watery eyes looked over with a hint of confusion, “Why did I have to wait inside just now?”
It’s only a little past four in the afternoon now. He had gotten enough sleep on the way here, so even after strenuous exercise, he wouldn’t be so exhausted as to fall asleep.
But just now, when they remembered Li Lan, Yan Sui had him wait in the room. Meng Ting hadn’t replied yet, and Yan Sui got up, put on a bathrobe, and went out. So, he could only wait.
Yan Sui pushed the cart with one hand, pulled the person closer with the other, kissed Meng Ting on the lips, and then answered his question.
“That child wants to see you, but I don’t want to fulfill his wish. I can’t bear it.”
Meng Ting had no idea how attractive he looked with his disheveled clothes and flushed face. Even if he were just an ignorant young boy, he still couldn’t bear to let others see Meng Ting like this.
Yan Sui’s tone was very ambiguous, and with the two of them so close together, even if Meng Ting still had questions, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.
“Oh,” he replied, then his eyes and brows curved up, and he also kissed Yan Sui’s lips.
“Then I also can’t bear to let others see you…”
Yan Sui, upon hearing this, slightly turned his face. Meng Ting, feeling it was natural, leaned in to kiss him a couple of times. On the other side, without needing Yan Sui’s prompt, he smiled and kept kissing, making ‘chu chu’ sounds.
Yan Sui pushed the cart to the table by the window in the master bedroom; this short distance took a full five minutes to cover.
Yan Sui let go of the cart and wrapped both of his arms around Meng Ting. He sat down, and Meng Ting directly sat on his lap.
The two of them also transitioned from cheek kisses to playful teasing between their lips, filled with fun and never tiring of it.
After a bit of intimacy, Meng Ting finally sat next to Yan Sui. The sofa was a bit small, and half of Meng Ting’s leg was still draped over Yan Sui’s leg, but even so, he didn’t want to move to the spacious and comfortable spot across from them.
Yan Sui took out some fruit and desserts from the cart, then poured a glass of water for Meng Ting, saying, “Drink more water.”
Meng Ting nodded, but still took a bite of the pastry first. The bite left a clear imprint on the otherwise intact pastry, making it look a bit special. Meng Ting noticed Yan Sui watching him, and tentatively brought it to his lips, then Yan Sui bit into it.
“It’s a bit too sweet, but it’s okay,” Meng Ting swallowed it and then commented.
Yan Sui was indifferent to desserts, but at this moment, his state of mind was quite different from usual, so he didn’t find the pastry too sweet.
“Drink some water.” He picked up the cup and brought it to Meng Ting’s lips. Meng Ting glanced at him and then started drinking with a gulp.
Yan Sui watched Meng Ting drink enough before putting the cup back on the table, then picked up a cherry tomato and fed it to him.
Meng Ting usually had a good appetite, and with Yan Sui feeding him, it was even better. One piece after another, Yan Sui absentmindedly fed him, and soon half of the fruit was gone. Yan Sui stopped feeding him after that, but he felt a bit different inside. He finally understood that feeding someone could be such an interesting thing.
Meng Ting’s cheeks moved, his eyes darting around, swallowing one piece while Yan Sui sent another piece over. They hadn’t said a word the entire time, but it didn’t feel awkward at all. When his gaze met Yan Sui’s, Yan Sui immediately returned a faint smile.
“We still have to eat dinner later, so eat these first.”
“Mm,” Meng Ting replied, then lay down in Yan Sui’s arms. It wasn’t that he was too full; he was just feeling a bit lazy.
Yan Sui reached out, rubbing Meng Ting’s abdomen, again and again, which was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.
The sunset breaking through the clouds outside their window was a sight to behold. After the thunderstorm, the sky and the earth looked so astonishingly clean that the already beautiful scenery seemed even more stunning. Yet, even with such a beautiful view before them, they couldn’t spare a moment to appreciate it.
Yan Sui also didn’t want Meng Ting to really fall asleep and miss the meal time. He moved his hand away from Meng Ting’s abdomen, leaned down, and kissed his forehead, “Can you swim? There are some amusement facilities in the resort. Let’s play around a bit, and then we can eat.”
Meng Ting, upon hearing the words, slowly opened his eyes, squinted for a while, and then replied, “No, I haven’t learned it. Is it difficult?”
“It’s okay, I’ll teach you.” Yan Sui said as he picked up Meng Ting. He really couldn’t bear to let anyone else teach Meng Ting how to swim.
Meng Ting nodded and couldn’t help but give Yan Sui a heads-up, “I’m very stupid, please don’t dislike me.”
Yan Sui kissed Meng Ting’s lips a couple more times, “It’s okay. If you made a mistake, we’ll just count it as one kiss, and I’ll punish you slowly later.”
This punishment seemed extremely inappropriate, yet Meng Ting still nodded very seriously, “I remember.”
The clothes the resort’s lobby manager brought over were just ordinary T-shirts and beach shorts. Yan Sui had already told him the sizes beforehand, and they fit the two of them well. However, the ordinary clothes they had painstakingly found for Li Lan ended up not being used.
As they walked out of the room, Yan Sui’s mobile phone rang.
“Okay, it’s good that you’re home.”
It was unknown what Li Lan said to Yan Sui over there. He listened for a while before hanging up.
“He got home, and his grandfather wants to treat us to lunch tomorrow. I agreed.”
Yan Sui continued to lead Meng Ting towards the elevator, explaining to him, “This place isn’t bad. Grandpa Li knows a lot about it. If you are satisfied with Mingya, I’ll have Zhao Bing bring him here tomorrow so he can chat with Grandpa Li.”
Meng Ting’s satisfaction means Yan Mingya has passed Meng Ting’s test, and tomorrow it will be his turn to pass his own test.
Meng Ting nodded. He knew that Yan Sui had put a lot of effort into his laboratory as well. There weren’t many people in the elevator, so he pulled down his neck and kissed Yan Sui’s cheek again, saying, “I will work hard.”
Even if it was for Yan Sui, he couldn’t let everyone’s hard work go to waste.
Yan Sui wrapped his arm around Meng Ting’s waist, raised his hand to ruffle Meng Ting’s hair, and said, “You can work hard…”
“I will be able to see you,” Meng Ting said again consciously. He rubbed Yan Sui’s cheek, “No need to look, you’re already in my eyes. No, not just in my eyes, you’re in my heart and my mind too.”
Meng Ting’s voice was pleasant to hear, and these words were also pleasant to hear, causing Yan Sui’s heartbeat to suddenly quicken a bit more.
