Jiang Tang yawned as he opened the bedroom door to exit. Seeing a figure in the kitchen, he rubbed his eyes and walked over, his voice still soft from just waking up. “…Xiao Fei?”
The man turned around after hearing the voice. Upon seeing the sleepy Jiang Tang, he slightly raised his handsome eyebrow.
It was Wen Renyuan.
He was wearing home clothes with Jiang Tang’s apron tied around his waist.
Wen Renyuan held a spatula in one hand and gently supported Jiang Tang with the other hand in case he fell. “Be careful.”
“Ah, it’s not Xiao Fei…” Jiang Tang instinctively dove into his arms, wrapping his arms around Wen Renyuan’s waist and nuzzling against his chest like a small animal. “It’s you.”
Wen Renyuan felt his heart melt as Jiang Tang rubbed against him. He chuckled softly, looking at the messy hair of the little head nestled in his arms, his eyes filled with doting. “Can you wait a moment? I’m still cooking the eggs.”
Jiang Tang was nearly awake now, and he snorted in dissatisfaction at his words but obediently stood aside.
Once Wen Renyuan finished serving the eggs, Jiang Tang glanced at them and gave a compliment with a smile, “You’ve improved.”
Jiang Tang reached out to Wen Renyuan and hummed, “I want a hug.”
“Eh?” Jiang Tang suddenly felt himself lifted off the ground. He let out a small yelp and wrapped his arms around Wen Renyuan’s neck.
Wen Renyuan actually held him up with one arm like a child!
Having rarely been held like this since he could remember, Jiang Tang was taken aback. “…”
“Put me down, I’m heavy.” Jiang Tang whispered into Wen Renyuan’s ear.
Wen Renyuan weighed Jiang Tang in his arms and deliberately patted his buttocks. “You’re so light. You should eat more meat in the future, okay?”
Seeing Jiang Tang’s ears turn shyly red, Wen Renyuan didn’t tease him further. He held the plate of scrambled eggs in one hand and carried Jiang Tang out with the other.
They soon came face to face with Qin Fei, who was waiting to eat breakfast at the table.
Wen Renyuan: “…”
Qin Fei: “…”
Jiang Tang, who was nestled in Wen Renyuan’s arms: “…”
Ahhh!
Seeing Qin Fei’s expression of “I shouldn’t be here, I should be under the table”, Jiang Tang, who felt that he had become thicker-skinned since falling in love, couldn’t help but blush.
He turned away silently and buried his face in Wen Renyuan’s neck.
Wen Renyuan had been openly “entering the house” for several days now. He could now even make simple breakfasts like scrambled eggs by himself.
To explain Wen Renyuan’s presence here, it has to be said that one month ago—
Jiang Tang received another package without any sender information. He frowned and tossed it aside without a second thought.
This was the fourth similar package he had received this month. At first, he thought it was something sent from the barren planet. But upon opening it, he found a bloodied little animal that was completely unrecognizable!
The smell of blood hit him hard, nearly making him drop the package to the ground.
“Ah!”
Qin Fei, who had come over out of curiosity, screamed when he saw it.
Jiang Tang wasn’t frightened by the bloody package but was startled by Qin Fei’s scream.
“What is this?”
Qin Fei stammered and pointed at the package. Upon closer inspection, he saw the tiny animal was dismembered. He began to feel nauseous.
Jiang Tang shook his head, his eyes cold.
There was no sender information, but the recipient’s name was clear. It was obvious this package was targeting him.
If it hadn’t been for watching a lot of horror movies in his previous life, someone with a poor psychological tolerance, like the timid original owner, would have probably been terrified and unable to sleep for days.
Seeing Jiang Tang handle the package with composure made Qin Fei feel a bit uncomfortable.
He hesitated and said, “Should we tell the Marshal about this?”
Jiang Tang thought for a moment and replied, “Forget it, I can’t always rely on him. I’ll handle it myself.”
But before Jiang Tang could receive a response regarding the shipment, he had already received a fourth similar package in just a few days.
This time, he tossed it aside.
Forget it, isn’t having a boyfriend means having someone to rely on? Jiang Tang reassured himself. After all, Wen Renyuan wasn’t just anyone.
When Wen Renyuan came over in the evening, Jiang Tang brought out the package and explained the situation.
Wen Renyuan frowned. “This is the fourth one?”
Seeing his expression, Jiang Tang knew what he was thinking. He shook Wen Renyuan’s arm and said flatteringly, “Oh, I didn’t want to trouble you. I thought I could deal with it myself.”
“It’s not a trouble,” Wen Renyuan patted Jiang Tang’s head. “Your things are never a trouble.”
Jiang Tang was taken aback by Wen Renyuan’s seriousness. He was a little touched in his heart, but he hummed, “You only know how to say such cheesy things.”
When Wen Renyuan opened the package and saw what was inside, his frown deepened.
Jiang Tang leaned closer and noticed that this package contained several torn photographs. As he pieced them together, he realized that they were pictures of him, but his face had been scratched out.
He didn’t know who had done it, but the malice of the sender was glaringly obvious.
Feeling the atmosphere drop as Wen Renyuan saw the photos, Jiang Tang looked at his expression. It couldn’t be described as just ugly.
He felt warm inside. He reached out and held Wen Renyuan’s hand, then reassured him softly, “It’s okay, I’m still fine.”
Even after Wen Renyuan ordered an investigation into the sender behind the package, his mood didn’t improve and his expression was still serious. Those who knew Wen Renyuan understood that he was really angry.
Wen Renyuan didn’t expect that seeing the “death threat” sent to Jiang Tang would ignite such fury within him. The thought that Jiang Tang could be in danger made him uncontrollably furious, even panicking at the idea of possibly losing Jiang Tang…
Perhaps Jiang Tang was far more important to him than he thought.
As for the person behind the package, if they enjoyed lurking in the shadows to do such dirty things, then they should remain there forever and never think of seeing the light of day again.
Thinking of how his baby had been wronged without him knowing, Wen Renyuan pulled Jiang Tang into his embrace and comforted him in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Tang was gently stroked by Wen Renyuan.
Jiang Tang: “…” He wasn’t that scared, really.
But should he be a little scared in this situation?
In his boyfriend’s arms, Jiang Tang nodded obediently. “I’m so scared, but thankfully I have you.”
Then he secretly applauded himself in his heart: Acting a little weak in front of his lover to gain care and affection, I’m truly a normal little genius in love!
Wen Renyuan felt even more heartbroken hearing Jiang Tang’s words. “I’ll move in here for a while. If anything happens, I can protect you and I can feel more at ease.”
Most importantly, if his little boyfriend needed him, he could be by Jiang Tang’s side.
“Ah?” Jiang Tang looked up and blinked in confusion. “Okay, okay.”
Fortunately, this apartment had enough rooms, so Jiang Tang clumsily began their cohabitation life.
When Qin Fei learned about this, his expression was about to crack. Initially, he only had to endure eating dog food at certain times, now he would be attacked with unlimited dog food at all hours of the day?!
It was so hard for him!
As night fell, Jiang Tang leaned against the soft cushion at the head of the bed. The warm yellow light gave a golden glow around him.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his lightbrain, but his finger remained still on the screen for quite a while.
If one looked a little closer, one could see his thick eyelashes like a small fan, fluttering beneath his eyes, which had already drifted off, clearly lost in thought.
The sound of water running from the bathroom was clear in his ears. Jiang Tang bit his lip in annoyance.
He didn’t know how things developed to this point. They had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for days, but during their usual goodnight kiss, he had impulsively asked if they should sleep together and even tugged at Wen Renyuan’s shirt.
Jiang Tang covered his face and rolled back and forth on the bed with a red face.
As soon as Wen Renyuan came out of the bathroom, he saw Jiang Tang wrapped in a blanket, wriggling around like a cute little silkworm on the bed.
“…”
Wen Renyuan silently turned his face away. His baby was too cute.
He approached the bed and gently shook the fluffy bundle, revealing the “filling” inside.
Jiang Tang’s cheeks were bright red, and his hair was in disarray. For some reason, his eyes were also watery as he looked at Wen Renyuan.
Wen Renyuan cursed inwardly, feeling that for the first time his self-control wasn’t as strong as he thought. He reached out and wrapped Jiang Tang in the blanket again.
Jiang Tang was confused.
He poked his head out of the blanket and looked at Wen Renyuan with blame, only to hear Wen Renyuan’s deep voice say, “Don’t look at me like that, baby. My endurance isn’t as strong as you think.”
“…”
Jiang Tang suddenly understood Wen Renyuan’s meaning and a blush crept onto his cheeks. He immediately lay down obediently.
The bed dipped beside him as Wen Renyuan lay down. He stretched out his arms and took Jiang Tang into his arms.
Jiang Tang turned over and found himself face to face with Wen Renyuan. The two looked at each other tenderly for a while and laughed together.
Jiang Tang’s face was small enough for Wen Renyuan to cradle it in one hand. He gently caressed Jiang Tang’s cheek while Jiang Tang rubbed his face against Wen Renyuan’s palm.
The atmosphere was incredibly warm.
Wen Renyuan’s face got closer and closer, and Jiang Tang obediently closed his eyes as warm kisses began to fall. First on his eyes, then his nose, forehead, and finally a lingering kiss on Jiang Tang’s lips.
Tonight’s goodnight kiss made their hearts race more than any before.
Wen Renyuan pulled away from Jiang Tang’s lips with great restraint.
“Sleep now,” he said.
Jiang Tang buried his face in Wen Renyuan’s chest, listening to the steady heartbeat.
“Mm, goodnight.”
In the quiet night, they slept in each other’s arms for the first time, but it felt like they had practiced it countless times before.
Not far away, Jiang Tang’s lightbrain flashed, and a new unread message appeared in his inbox.
Jiang Tang, who quickly fell into a sweet dream in Wen Renyuan’s arms, didn’t know that this unread message would directly change the course of his life in the future.
