DCISBS chapter 85

In the middle of the night on the outskirts of Yuncheng City, the roads were almost deserted. Bugs chirped faintly in the grass, and the sound of ocean waves came in pulses from far away.

Xie Quan had just buckled his seatbelt when the already-handsome-without-trying Lu Nanyang started the car. With a single press of the accelerator, the sports car shot out of the Lu family’s front gates.

The engine roared as the car surged onto the road. The force pushed Xie Quan back into his seat, and he had to grip the window frame tightly to stay upright.

“Lu Nanyang!” he shouted. “Are you trying to kill us?!”

But the howling wind drowned out his words almost immediately, leaving only the roar of the engine and the receding scenery.

“What? I can’t hear you!” Lu Nanyang shouted back, pressing down on the gas pedal again — and in an instant, the car hit 180 km/h.

Xie Quan’s eardrums buzzed from the pressure. His body was thrown backward, adrenaline spiking, heart racing uncontrollably from the rush.

The view ahead blurred into streaks of light, and the street lamps turned into long orange lines flying past. For a brief moment, Xie Quan’s mind went blank — and then, unexpectedly, he felt something strange.

In the dead of night, speeding along the coast in a sports car, it felt like they were chasing the setting sun. Or perhaps fleeing some imaginary pursuers — embarking on a grand, once-in-a-lifetime runaway adventure.

It felt like they could drive all the way to the edge of the world, disappear to a place no one could see them, or sink into the ocean, freezing time at the most dazzling second.

After about five minutes of this high-speed madness, Lu Nanyang finally slowed down and closed the convertible roof. The confined space grew quiet, and they could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeats clearly.

Their eyes naturally locked onto one another, and as Lu Nanyang stared, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“What are you laughing at?”

Xie Quan thought to himself that he should make a rule for Lu Nanyang in the future: no laughing for three minutes after being cool. The moment he laughed, the illusion shattered — from the mysterious heir in every girl’s dream to the cheerful sunshine boy next door.

“Xie Quan, your ears are really red.”

“From the wind,” Xie Quan grumbled and reached up to rub them.

Big mistake. Rubbing only made them even redder.

Lu Nanyang chuckled as he said, “I feel like this scene has appeared in a romance novel before.”

“What?” Xie Quan found it amusing.

Lu Nanyang tapped the steering wheel with his index finger. “The CEO takes his crush on a wild ride in a luxury sports car. When the car reaches top speed, the girl’s heart races and adrenaline rushes—she mistakenly thinks she’s fallen in love with the CEO. It’s some kind of psychological effect…”

“The suspension bridge effect,” Xie Quan raised an eyebrow. “You think I need that to fall in love with you?”

Lu Nanyang turned his head, opened his mouth to respond, but before he could say anything, Xie Quan suddenly leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

Lu Nanyang’s eyes widened, but he didn’t resist. The soft lips were warm and moist, parting his mouth without warning. A hot tongue slipped in, boldly sweeping over the sensitive roof of his mouth.

The roaring supercar slowly decelerated along the coastal road, finally coming to a haphazard stop at the roadside.

Lu Nanyang was kissed until he could barely breathe, his face flushed red all the way to his ears. Xie Quan gave his tongue one last teasing twirl before reluctantly pulling away.

“Your heart’s beating even faster than when we were speeding,” Xie Quan said with a smile, licking the corner of his lips. “What effect is that?”

Lu Nanyang stared steadily at him, then pressed him back into the seat by the shoulders, his voice hoarse. “The ‘I want to fuck you’ effect.”

Xie Quan narrowed his eyes, his right hand reaching for the button to recline the seat. Tilting his head up to meet Lu Nanyang’s gaze, he licked his dry lips. “Sure. You’re welcome to fuck me.”

That one sentence sent Lu Nanyang’s blood surging. He lowered his head and kissed him again.

Lu Nanyang had always thought of himself as a fairly traditional person, but ever since he met Xie Quan, something had changed. Somehow, he was becoming more and more uninhibited.

Like now—making love in the passenger seat of a sports car, on a dimly lit roadside late at night.

The seaside was quiet. Their car was the only one parked by the road. Even though the windows were tinted, making it hard to see inside, any passing vehicle could tell what was going on from the way the car rocked.

Xie Quan didn’t hold back his voice at all. His arched neck curved gracefully like a swan’s, fine beads of sweat trailing from his pubic bone and dripping onto the seat’s fabric, staining it with dark spots as his moans turned hoarse.

Just watching that scene made Lu Nanyang feel like his heart was about to burst from his chest, all the blood in his body rushing downward.

He couldn’t be blamed.

Blame it on his boyfriend being far too seductive—always teasing him, no matter the time or place.

Lu Nanyang suppressed the urge to grab his phone and capture the moment, instead gripping Xie Quan’s ankle.

…

Afterward, Xie Quan lazily lifted his head and noticed a seagull perched outside the car window, grooming its feathers while peeking curiously inside.

“Shoo, shoo.” Lu Nanyang knocked on the glass to try and scare it away. Unexpectedly, this only angered the seagull, which started pecking at the window.

“Hey—” Lu Nanyang rolled down the window and waved his arm. The seagull gave an indignant cry, then finally spread its wings and flew off.

Xie Quan nudged Lu Nanyang’s arm with his toe. “Why chase it off? It wasn’t bothering you.”

“It was,” Lu Nanyang said in a low voice. “It was peeking at what’s mine.”

Xie Quan laughed. “Such strong possessiveness—you’re even jealous of a seagull.”

As he spoke, he sat up and kissed Lu Nanyang’s forehead, murmuring, “Lu Nanyang, no matter where we are, no matter in what form, I will always be yours.”

He was like a raindrop falling into the sea.

He was a moth drawn to a flame.

The moment he made his decision in the elevator, he knew—he had given the rest of his life to this man who smiled foolishly while hugging him.

He had once believed that his entire life would be spent in endless darkness, that the shadows of his past would cling to him like thorns, piercing his flesh and bone until he suffocated.

He thought he would drown alone at the bottom of the lightless sea, sinking slowly under the weight, with no one to hear his voice, no one to find his body.

He thought he would fade away, unnoticed and unloved, leaving nothing behind, and taking nothing with him.

But then… Lu Nanyang appeared.

Like a ray of sunlight shining on his cold body, banishing the darkness and chill. Greenery spread across the ocean floor, and flowers bloomed everywhere.

….

Xie Quan buttoned up his jeans, didn’t bother putting on his shirt, and got out of the car with just a jacket draped over his bare shoulders.

Lu Nanyang stood on the seawall, letting the sea breeze blow through his hair. Catching sight of Xie Quan approaching, he pointed at a spot in the sky. “That one’s Altair, right?”

Xie Quan followed his gaze upward. The night sky was clear, stars shining brightly, a band of the Milky Way stretched across the heavens. Within it, a faint star flickered.

“Yeah,” Xie Quan smiled.

The sky and sea reflected each other, and under the light of the moon and stars, the ocean shimmered—quiet and vast, as if wider than the sky, deeper than the universe.

“Lu Nanyang, do you know what a whale fall is?” Xie Quan suddenly asked.

“What?” Lu Nanyang didn’t catch on right away.

“When a whale dies, it slowly sinks to the deepest part of the ocean,” Xie Quan said. “Its body decays and nourishes countless deep-sea creatures, forming a new ecosystem. It’s like an oasis in the depths.”

Lu Nanyang let out a small “ah.” “When a whale falls, all things are born.”

Xie Quan turned his head and smiled.

The sea breeze rustled his hair and the hem of his jacket, revealing faint glimpses of skin and lingering hickeys—radiating a lazy sensuality.

From just the right angle, his gray eyes reflected a trace of moonlight in the dark, making them shine brighter than usual.

“I once died, Lu Nanyang,” Xie Quan said. “Like a whale sinking to the ocean floor, unnoticed and forgotten. But you showed up. You made flowers bloom from my bones. You gave me new life upon my corpse. Just like a whale fall—what has died isn’t wasted, but instead becomes the path to something new. And thanks to that, I was lucky enough… to fall in love with you.”

Lu Nanyang stared blankly at Xie Quan, his eyes suddenly turning red. He quickly turned his head to hide it, but Xie Quan cupped his face midway.

“Why are you crying?” Xie Quan asked softly.

“Who’s crying…” Lu Nanyang sniffled. “I just thought… the way you described it was kind of scary…”

Xie Quan laughed so hard he couldn’t straighten up for a while, then pulled Lu Nanyang into a hug and kissed his lips.

They kissed under the moonlight and starlit sky, the waves acting as a soundtrack to the night. Everything felt so romantic, yet so ordinary.

“Don’t be scared, Lu Nanyang. Trust me, and trust yourself too,” Xie Quan whispered. “Lift your head, keep walking forward—don’t look back. I’ll always be by your side.”
