Aunt Fang was there to cook as usual. When she heard the doorbell, she went to answer it. As soon as she opened the door, she was startled to see Shao Cheng carrying the bruised and weak Bai Yang walking in.
She reacted quickly: “I’ll call the doctor.”
Shao Cheng carried Bai Yang straight upstairs and gently laid him on his own bed, helping him remove his clothes.
“I’ll dirty your bed…” Bai Yang knew he was covered in dust and some of the wounds were still bleeding.
Shao Cheng glanced at him coldly: “just stay still!.”
Bai Yang could only shut his mouth, not daring to anger him again.
Shao Cheng’s movements were gentle, hardly causing him any pain. Bai Yang was left with just his underwear, and the bruises and marks all over his body were shocking to see.
Shao Cheng didn’t say anything, but his gaze grew even darker and more terrifying. The tense silence in the air became even more palpable. Fortunately, the doctor arrived quickly, breaking the silent tension between the two of them.
The doctor conducted a thorough examination of Bai Yang, confirming that he hadn’t injured his bones or internal organs. The doctor then prescribed some medication and gave instructions for care and diet before leaving.
Shao Cheng personally used a towel to clean Bai Yang’s body and applied ointment to his wounds. He even picked him up so that Aunt Fang could change the blood stained sheets. Bai Yang was left bare in Shao Cheng’s arms in this embarrassing position, and with Aunt Fang present as well, he felt too embarrassed to look up.
Luckily, Aunt Fang didn’t pay too much attention to it, only expressing some regret: “I had prepared a table full of delicious dishes, but now it’s a pity you can only eat light food.”
Bai Yang smiled: “It’s okay, I’ll be better in a few days, and then I’ll help you cook.”
In the afternoon, he took a nap as advised by the doctor and woke up feeling much better. Aunt Fang brought a bowl of vegetable porridge for him to drink.
“Where’s Shao Cheng?” Bai Yang asked as he took the porridge.
“He’s downstairs eating. He’ll come up to check on you in a while,” Aunt Fang’s reply seemed to have read his thoughts, and she probably already realized that his relationship with Shao Cheng wasn’t just that of ordinary friends.
Bai Yang couldn’t help but feel his ears turning red. He drank the porridge, trying to conceal his embarrassment, but he felt that the porridge didn’t taste as good that day. Perhaps Aunt Fang hadn’t had the time to cook it as carefully as usual due to her rushed and busy state. He felt a sense of guilt and intentionally drank several more bowls.
After filling his stomach, he leaned back on the bed and rested. Not long after, Shao Cheng finished his meal and came in, giving Bai Yang a casual glance before turning and heading for a quick shower.
Bai Yang nervously listened to the sound of water from the bathroom. He knew that when Shao Cheng came out from his shower, he would probably be angry and question him about the situation. How could he explain the situation and soothe his anger at the same time? What if Shao Cheng went back to his old distant and cold self after hearing his explanation?
He was caught in a dilemma and hadn’t yet figured out the best approach when the sound of water from the bathroom stopped.
Shao Cheng walked out with a towel, casually drying his hair. Messy strands of hair hung over his forehead, partly covering his handsome brows and eyes. He was tall and well-built, a few drops of water hanging on his bare upper body, sliding down his muscular chest and abdomen, disappearing beneath the towel…
Bai Yang quickly averted his gaze, feeling his face growing hot.
Shao Cheng lifted the blanket and lay down beside him. Bai Yang thought he might ask something, but unexpectedly, Shao Cheng propped himself up on his arm, and without a word, he leaned in for a kiss.
The kiss was neither intense nor gentle; it carried a hint of dissatisfaction and anger, but more importantly, it was focused and serious.
After several minutes of kissing and suction, Shao Cheng pulled back his tongue. Bai Yang was breathing heavily, looking at him with bright and shining eyes.
“You’re still not perfect at kissing after all this time,” Shao Cheng chuckled, “When was your first kiss?”
Bai Yang didn’t mind his mockery and smiled openly, revealing his dimples: “On the last day of last year, at my house, when you kissed me.”
Shao Cheng ruffled his own hair and gradually wiped the smile from his face, his expression turning serious. Finally, he asked the unresolved question from earlier in the day: “What’s the deal between you and Song Chi?”
Bai Yang took a deep breath, mustering the courage to be honest: “He used to dislike me and often beat me up. He had a lot of people with him, and I was in need of money at the time. After he bullied me, he would give me money for medical expenses, so I didn’t resist. Besides that, there was nothing else. The things he said about us sleeping together were all lies.”
“Your sister’s doctor said you always had injuries on your body before. Were those injuries from him?” Shao Cheng asked.
“Yes,”
“…I thought he might have done something worse to you.” Shao Cheng seemed to have misunderstood, “So, why didn’t you explain that earlier? You had the chance outside the debate venue.”
“I actually wanted to explain, but then you said you wanted to… that we could just have fun. I thought maybe you saw me as experienced in such kinds of relationships, so you approached me for that reason. If I explained that I was inexperienced, you probably wouldn’t have approached me anymore…”
Bai Yang lowered his head, feeling ashamed: “I’m sorry, I lied to you. I shouldn’t have tried to stay by your side using such a despicable method. If you’re angry, It’s totally understandable.”
“I am very angry,” Shao Cheng’s tone was cold and stern. Seeing the color drain from Bai Yang’s face, he added, “Are you always this dense?”
Bai Yang looked at him in confusion.
Shao Cheng sneered, “Do you think I need to find a man to satisfy my desires?”
“But…”
“Why do you think I brought you home? Why did I kiss you? Why did I sleep with you?”
With his chin firmly grasped, Bai Yang winced as his head was forced to lift. Shao Cheng’s face loomed large in front of him, his voice low and commanding, “Bai Yang. I like you, I want to be intimate with you, I want you to belong only to me.”
” Also I’m not kind or gentle, I’m very territorial. I hate it when things I want slip out of my control. I’ve been trying to push you to your limits all this time waiting to see if you wouldn’t like me anymore and it was just because you feel indebted to me. But your persistence convinced me otherwise. So you are not allowed to leave me.”
“Because you’re the thing I want the most, got it?”
This confession was too direct and aggressive, it was the perfect confession but it sent chills all over Bai yang. He was left dumbfounded for a while. It wasn’t until a deep flush crept up his face that he realized his emotions were spiraling out of control. He bit his trembling lips and tried to calm himself down, but it was proving difficult.
“Are you happy?” Shao Cheng pinched his cheek, and Bai Yang nodded vigorously, his gaze fixated on him, seemingly lost in his emotions. With a playful smirk, Shao Cheng blew warm breath onto Bai Yang’s lips and said, “Do you want me to say it a few more times?”
“Yes…”
“Then try harder to please me.” Shao Cheng tilted his body leisurely, giving an order.
At this moment, Bai Yang would listen to anything he said. He reached out and wrapped his arms around Shao Cheng’s neck, his lips pressing against Shao Cheng’s, his voice trembling as he murmured, “I like you a lot, Shao Cheng…”
Shao Cheng chuckled softly and went along with it, opening his mouth to meet Bai Yang’s lips. The kiss started gently, their lips exploring each other’s, but soon, it deepened. Their tongues danced passionately, and the warmth and desire between them ignited.
Bai Yang was becoming breathless from the kissing. The sweetness and heat that filled his heart didn’t dissipate, making him feel disoriented, unable to tell if this moment was real or just a dream.
He had never been so proactive and bold in such matters. He was engrossed in the taste of Shao Cheng’s lips and tongue, pushing deeper, as if a traveler lost in the desert had finally found an oasis, desperately quenching his thirst. Every drop of moisture, every exchange of saliva, was eagerly swallowed.
Shao Cheng’s breathing grew heavier, his arms tightening around Bai Yang, their bodies pressing against each other. Their reactions were becoming more and more pronounced, impossible to hide.
“What should we do?” Shao Cheng provocatively pushed against him.
Bai Yang, still in control of the kiss, continued to deepen it. At the same time, he moved his hand downward, removing Shao Cheng’s towel and his own underwear. With newfound courage and audacity, he used his bare, smooth legs to grip Shao Cheng’s waist, gently rubbing against the uncomfortable hardness between his own legs.
Shao Cheng’s eyes darkened instantly. He struggled to contain his impulses, clenching his teeth and hoarsely saying, “Don’t do too much… you are still injured. Use your hands.”
Bai Yang nodded and, overwhelmed by desire, his sense of shame disappeared. He continued kissing Shao Cheng, and with his hand, he reached down and grasped both of their hardened erections, moving them together with flesh rubbing against flesh. Their hot, heavy breaths sprayed into each other’s mouths, and their leaking fluids wetted the sheets beneath them.
Shao Cheng’s breathing became more urgent. His patience finally gave way, and he grabbed the back of Bai Yang’s head, seizing control. His tongue forcefully invaded Bai Yang’s mouth, stirring it vigorously, fierce and dominant as ever.
“Umm… umm…” Bai Yang was nearly suffocated by the kiss, his body losing strength. His hands slowed down, and Shao Cheng wrapped his other hand around him, guiding their simultaneous stroking, driving each other toward the peak of desire.
After releasing his pent-up tension, Bai Yang’s eyes were moist as he panted heavily, his body leaning against Shao Cheng’s.
Shao Cheng lightly nibbled his ear, his deep, husky voice sounded in his ear, “You did well. Let me say it again, Bai Yang. I like you, in bed and out of bed.”
Bai Yang’s mind went blank, and he slowly blushed, his head dropping as the overwhelming embarrassment rushed in. Only his shoulders were visible, tinted with a rosy hue.
Shao Cheng kissed his shoulder, whispering softly, “From now on, let’s keep it like this. Say whatever you want to say to me, do whatever you want to do with me. As long as you don’t leave me, I promise you everything. You can be a bit more confident and willful, relying on my affection.”
Bai Yang didn’t speak for a long time, just trembled in Shao Cheng’s arms. Shao Cheng comfortingly traced his back, kissing his hair, ear, and shoulder, until the person in his arms finally calmed down. He nodded imperceptibly, his eyes dazed with affection.
