The edges of his rubbed-red lips still had a bit of white, accentuated by the sound of swallowing, which was infinitely amplified in the enclosed room.
Jiang Shi didn’t even know why he had done such a foolish thing. He subconsciously licked his lips and explained, “I was a little nervous and didn’t notice.”
By the end of it, he barely had the strength to see what kind of expression Xie Xu was making. He usually just clung to the older man, kissing or trying to catch his breath, never having had the chance to witness Xie Xu like this—
Utterly, overwhelmingly seductive.
His chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes, fixed on Jiang Shi, were deep and dark, oppressive and dangerous.
Nervous, Jiang Shi swallowed involuntarily.
Just as he was about to reach for a tissue to wipe his mouth, he was pulled back.
Xie Xu held the nape of his neck and kissed him deeply.
At first, Jiang Shi resisted a little, wanting to rinse his mouth, but gradually, his resistance melted away without a trace.
In the silent room, only the sounds of mingled breath and faint swallows remained.
When they parted, both of their breathing was unsteady.
Jiang Shi panted and said, “Do you know why I told you to come fifteen minutes later today instead of the usual ten?”
Xie Xu wiped the moisture from the corner of his lips. “Hmm?”
“Because I brushed my teeth twice.” Jiang Shi said, “Now, I can’t taste anything at all.”
Whether it was toothpaste or anything else, it had all been swallowed.
Jiang Shi went to brush his teeth again. Outside, Xie Xu’s voice drifted in, “Yuan Yang tagged you, asking you to interact with the Weibo post about the TKI headphones release.”
Jiang Shi spat out the foam. “Captain, help me take care of it.”
Xie Xu responded with an “Okay.” But when Jiang Shi finished brushing his teeth, he found Xie Xu still looking at his phone.
Leaning against the headboard, Xie Xu handed him the phone when he approached. “Done. But you were logged into your Weibo alt account before. Remember to switch back.”
Jiang Shi nodded, but then suddenly realized—
“Weibo alt account?!”
He had just posted something utterly shameful on that account!
Perhaps Jiang Shi’s raised voice finally caught Xie Xu’s attention. Xie Xu looked up, meeting Jiang Shi’s shocked and panicked gaze, and gave him a definite “Mm.”
“When I opened your Weibo, there was a newly posted file named [Marriage Upgrade Plus Edition with Husband],” Xie Xu said calmly. “But it requires a password to open.”
Jiang Shi immediately clarified, “Just to be clear, that ‘husband’ isn’t anyone else — it’s you! I didn’t cheat!”
Xie Xu seemed to not have heard clearly and asked again, “Who is it?”
Jiang Shi didn’t hesitate. “The husband is you!”
Realizing what he had just said, Jiang Shi’s ears turned a fiery red.
Even though they had done such intimate things just moments ago, he had been too caught up in the moment then. Now, saying something so embarrassing in complete clarity—
Xie Xu suppressed a smirk, hummed in acknowledgment, and continued, “I thought you didn’t log into that Weibo alt anymore. You’ve encrypted a lot of files before. What’s in them?”
Jiang Shi: “…”
He couldn’t say it.
Not a single line of text in there could ever see the light of day.
Fortunately, Xie Xu didn’t press further and simply moved aside, “Come sleep.”
Everything that followed happened naturally. Jiang Shi had already been stirred up earlier. When Xie Xu held him, he pretended to resist for a moment before tilting his head back and kissing him in the dark.
Xie Xu asked, “Have you been duo-queuing with Lele all day?”
Jiang Shi had been trying to suppress any sounds, but hearing that question, his jaw slackened, and he let out a short breath. “I was solo queuing at first. Jiang Lele got abandoned by Yu Hui, so we played together.”
“Did you win much?”
“I played all afternoon, only lost one match.”
“What did you eat for dinner?”
Hearing that question, Jiang Shi felt like he was about to lose his mind. It was unbearable. But if he didn’t answer, Xie Xu moved agonizingly slow, like he was roasting him over an open flame.
He forced out a breath and recalled the dishes from dinner. “Auntie made fish and braised pork.”
“Does it taste good?”
“Yes.”
After that, Jiang Shi gave up resisting entirely. Every time Xie Xu asked a question, he bit Xie Xu’s shoulder before answering.
“Who gave you that file on your Weibo alt?”
“A fan. She gave me all of them.”
“What’s the password?”
“112233.”
After answering a few more questions, Jiang Shi belatedly realized he had been tricked. “Xie Xu!”
Flustered and embarrassed, Jiang Shi even called Xie Xu by his full name.
Xie Xu lowered his head and kissed him on the lips. “Mm, I’m here.”
Jiang Shi: “…”
He was caught in the middle of it now, so he simply got bold and grabbed Xie Xu’s hand, using it crudely yet effectively. His fingertip brushed over a small mole inside Xie Xu’s index finger several times on purpose.
Jiang Shi let out a long breath, his previously tense body finally relaxing. He lazily wiped Xie Xu’s hand with a tissue, then tossed it aside. His voice, filled with satisfaction and languidness, said, “That Weibo alt is just for recording daily life. I don’t even look at that stuff. It’s all random nonsense.”
Now that the password was out, those shameful things would be exposed sooner or later. He might as well find an excuse to brush it off.
Xie Xu lightly wiped the sweat off the back of Jiang Shi’s neck and said in a gentle tone, “But I saw that some of those links had nearly twenty views.”
And the views had only increased since they got together.
Jiang Shi hadn’t expected Xie Xu to notice something like that. He suddenly felt like he had been caught red-handed cheating on his boyfriend.
Jiang Shi stayed silent for a long time, and Xie Xu didn’t seem to expect an answer either. He gently turned Jiang Shi over so his back was facing him. “The links outside of the files. Were those random nonsense too?”
Jiang Shi assumed Xie Xu was referring to the past posts he had made to fool his online ex-boyfriend and quickly reassured him, “Of course, those were serious.”
After speaking, he pushed at Xie Xu, wanting him to move away. This position was unbearable. He had just barely recovered and couldn’t take it.
But Xie Xu remained unfazed and reached under the pillow, pulling out Jiang Shi’s phone.
Weibo was opened, and Xie Xu scrolled to a post Jiang Shi had made before joining TLG. “Was this serious too?”
The sudden light stung Jiang Shi’s eyes, making him squint. When he saw the content, alarms blared in his mind—
[His hands are so big, he should be able to hold my entire neck, right? Will he like to grab me?]
[His fingers are so long, and he can help me do many, many things.]
[I don’t know if my Gege prefers doing it from the front or behind…]
Xie Xu lightly pressed against Jiang Shi’s Adam’s apple, feeling him swallow nervously. He said, “Want to test it out?”
He realized that his previous perception of Jiang Shi had been far too conservative.
The faint pressure around his neck made Jiang Shi shiver. He wanted to say something, but no words came out.
Logically, he should be begging for mercy, but damn it — he was actually looking forward to it.
Xie Xu did use his fingers. The small mole that Jiang Shi had touched many times… that thing must’ve touched and rubbed everything on Jiang Shi’s body. Xie Xu even cunningly let him touch the mole at the end of his eye.
The lights were finally turned on, bathing the two sweaty faces in a warm glow. Jiang Shi, at this time, looked like a fish out of water – twitchy at first, then left gasping for oxygen.
Xie Xu’s black eyes were deep. For some reason, the mole at the end of his eyes changed color. Perhaps it was a trick of the light bouncing on his sweat.
Jiang Shi was bewitched and touched the small mole – and this action made him flush, so red, so hot like he was being boiled. His heart was beating so fast out of his ribcage. Still, all his focus landed squarely on Xie Xu.
He couldn’t resist Xie Xu like this – all he could do was to endure all the “bullying” until he was left breathless.
Xie Xu kissed Jiang Shi’s curled fingertips. The younger man’s eyelids were tinged with a touch of red. Xie Xu could feel his trembling from the kiss as well. Such an obedient Jiang Shi…
Xie Xu chuckled with a low voice, directly at Jiang Shi’s ear.
“I prefer it from behind.”
Later, the fight continued until the bathroom area. Jiang Shi had never been able to resist temptation. He was tossed around until he had to beg for mercy.
“Captain.”
“Gege.”
“Captain-gege!”
“Husband…”
Maybe it was because Jiang Shi’s tone was truly that pitiful, so Xie Xu finally stopped. As a dutiful husband, he cleaned Jiang Shi up and carried him to the bed. Jiang Shi quietly huddled in Xie Xu’s arms.
Feeling extremely tired, Jiang Shi couldn’t sleep. “Captain?”
He tilted his head and looked up, “Are you asleep?”
Then, Xie Xu’s grip on his waist tightened, tucking Jiang Shi closer into his embrace. “Mm? Who said he was sleepy just now?”
Jiang Shi was quiet for a while with a guilty conscience, but in less than a minute, he spoke again, “I suddenly remembered something. Do you think I would remember you when we first met?”
Otherwise, how could he fall in love with Xie Xu twice? The first time was because of his hand, and the second time was because of his face.
Xie Xu pressed Jiang Shi down and kept tickling his calf, “Sleep.”
Jiang Shi was completely alert, “I think it’s very likely.”
Xie Xu’s attitude and help to him at that exhibition was a very important turning point in his life.
Jiang Shi thought about it. He grabbed Xie Xu’s hand, rubbed the familiar little mole, his eyes opened wide, wanting to look at the mole on Xie Xu’s face, “Plus, I really like your moles!”
He looked up, kissed the teardrop mole at the end of Xie Xu’s eye, and concluded, “We are really a perfect match!”
But in the next second, the noisy Jiang Shi was stopped by Xie Xu’s serious tone. “I think you’re not tired yet. How about we read that secret link of yours and practice it in real-life?”
Jiang Shi immediately begged for mercy. “I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I’m sleeping now!”
Xie Xu’s physical strength and stamina are too good!
The two fell into a short silence. Then, Jiang Shi quietly opened his eyes, interlocked his fingers with Xie Xu, and felt the grip to be reciprocated. He sighed in a pretentious tone, “Of course I fell for you twice. Otherwise, who else can bully me like this?”
“Mm… tell me, why do I like you so much…”
Jiang Shi never expected Xie Xu to answer, so he just answered his question himself, his voice trailing off. “Will I like you forever?”
A few short minutes later, Jiang Shi fell asleep, tucked safely in Xie Xu’s arms.
Xie Xu slowly opened his eyes, then nuzzled Jiang Shi as he too, drifted to dreamland.
‘Of course, we will be together forever.’
