Heart sinking was not enough; they needed their bodies to sink.
According to Gu WenCheng’s understanding, he was the one in control, but trying this position for the first time with someone who was truly the receiver could easily lead to injuries.
Li ZouXing, at least in theoretical knowledge, was miles ahead of Gu WenCheng, and this position couldn’t be used right now.
Seeing Gu WenCheng getting lost in his own thoughts again, Li ZouXing decided to take matters into his own hands.
Gu WenCheng stiffened for a moment but then tried to relax as much as possible. If he remembered correctly, this was normal.
“I’ll give it a try,” Li ZouXing said. “I’ll see if I can find…”
“Okay.”
He felt so useless, needing the other person to take the lead in such matters, especially when he was supposed to be the one in control. Gu WenCheng frowned, feeling embarrassed.
His male ego made him feel defeated, and that sense of defeat made him even more ashamed.
Li ZouXing changed the topic to divert his attention. “I remember we still have a month left.”
Gu WenCheng instantly became alert. “Isn’t it ten days?”
Alright, ten days.
Li ZouXing said. “Then we have ten days.”
“I’ve been lying here for three days,” as Li ZouXing’s actions got closer, Gu WenCheng became increasingly uncomfortable. He even felt his limbs go weak, his spine slouching, and he had to prop himself up against Li ZouXing for support. “Let’s consider those ten days as if they’ve already passed, okay?”
Right here.
Li ZouXing paused, not only due to emotional considerations but also because it didn’t seem suitable to do this in this place and at this time. “What if we wait until we’re back at the Chengyang Military Academy?”
“No!” Gu WenCheng instinctively held onto his hand, stopping him. “This place… has its charms.”
But… he looked at Li ZouXing’s lively and adorable expression, wondering if it was even possible. Could he really make Li ZouXing his like this? To this extent, it would hurt him terribly. What if something broke…
“No, really, it’s not possible,” Li ZouXing’s expression was complicated. “It’s too small.”
Indeed, he was the typical male lead.
His physical abilities were truly impressive, in every aspect. Gu WenCheng cradled his face, gently kissing his lips with a heartache. “Try a bit harder, ZouXing. It’s all my fault.”
Moreover, that part was so small that it was embarrassing. It felt like a competition of who had a smaller one, just like among males where losing face meant having a smaller one. Gu WenCheng couldn’t help but feel embarrassed right now.
“It’ll only hurt at the beginning, and then it won’t,” Gu WenCheng reassured him. In reality, he felt quite guilty because if he thought about his own experience, he knew how painful it could be. Regardless of whether you were male or female, there would be pain. Perhaps it could be even more painful between two men, but there was no choice. He had to make Li ZouXing endure the pain because Gu WenCheng needed him.
Only through a true connection could they both find security.
Gu WenCheng tried to convince the innocent college student with sweet words and beautiful lies. “I’ll make you feel very comfortable, trust me. It’ll only hurt a little at the beginning, but it’ll be very comfortable afterward.”
“I’m not lying to you.”
Li ZouXing glanced at him, seeming somewhat skeptical. “Will it really be comfortable?”
“Absolutely,” Gu “the self-proclaimed scoundrel” WenCheng said with guilt in his heart. “Trust me.”
However, they were on Ye An’s spaceship, and Li ZouXing had a certain sense of ceremony. He didn’t want to be with Gu WenCheng here. For a first time, there should at least be flowers, tools, both parties should be comfortable, and it should be romantic. That way, there could be a next time.
“Let’s not do it here,” Li ZouXing said. “It’s not suitable for the first time.”
Gu WenCheng suddenly realized that they weren’t in their own territory; they were on a spaceship belonging to Ye An. He calmed down and kissed Li ZouXing’s forehead, saying, “I’m sorry, I was too hasty. This isn’t the right place.”
The first time for a person was so important, and Gu WenCheng felt like he wasn’t acting like a human. He hadn’t considered Li ZouXing’s feelings and had been too impatient.
Li ZouXing replied, “I feel guilty…”
Gu WenCheng interrupted, “Why would you feel guilty? You couldn’t handle me, is it my fault for being small rather than your fault for being too big?”
He glanced at Li ZouXing and paused before continuing, “Actually…”
This statement turned the tables on Li ZouXing, making him rethink what he wanted to say. He sighed and suddenly understood.
If ignorance could keep someone happy and self-assured, thinking they were the dominant one, then let Gu WenCheng continue to be proud. If he told Gu WenCheng that he was the one taking the initiative, it would shatter a child’s beautiful dream.
Besides, nothing had happened yet, and Li ZouXing could admit that he was being timid for now. But he wouldn’t be timid for long. Right now, he just wanted to return to the Chengyang Military Academy with Gu WenCheng to solidify their relationship.
After they finished bathing, the food in the dining room was still hot.
Ye An and Ling Nian, along with their two companions, sat face to face, all wearing smiles and creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Li ZouXing and Gu WenCheng, with their super hearing, could hear the topic they were discussing.
“The ship’s route happened to pass near the master’s small spacecraft,” Ye An sipped his water. “The distress signal from the master’s communicator was too strong, so we tuned into this channel and received the message.”
“Do you guys know the name ‘Vichi’?” Ye An continued. “We’ve always been willing to help, and there’s no reason not to respond to a distress signal.”
“I’ve heard of it,” Ling Nian replied casually. “It’s the recently famous merchant fleet.”
“That’s impressive, Mr. Ye,” Ji Yu smiled. “Thanks to you as Li ZouXing’s friend, he’s really fortunate.”
“The master has done me an immeasurable favor with his reconstruction,” Ye An chuckled. “I should be the one thanking my master.”
Si Wo Lin chimed in quietly, “We’re happy for ZouXing because he has a reliable subordinate like you.”
Xi Nan added, “Exactly, ZouXing has a great eye for people.”
On the surface, they were praising Ye An, but in reality, they were all acting like children, each swearing that they were ZouXing’s “best friend.”
Gu WenCheng was quite satisfied with their performance and smirked, saying, “Well done.”
Li ZouXing laughed, “I thought you were my ‘best friend’?”
Gu WenCheng whispered in his ear, “I’m your best lover, the one you’re having an affair with.”
Their footsteps were heard by the people in the restaurant. In order to show their close relationship with Li ZouXing, their teammates rushed over with bright smiles, full of enthusiasm.
“How are you feeling now, ZouXing?”
“Do you want some water? Are you thirsty? Or maybe some porridge?”
“You haven’t eaten for three days, so start with something light. The temperature of the food is just right, not too hot or too cold.”
They all spoke at once, offering their support, some holding onto his arms, others fanning him when there was no place to hold.
This exaggerated performance style overwhelmed Li ZouXing. He replied, “Thank you, dear friends.”
“You’re welcome,” the teammates replied with radiant smiles.
However, Ling Nian, who remained seated, casually said to Ye An, “We have a good relationship.”
“I can see that,” Ye An replied, relieved. “You care a lot about my master.”
“He’s not your master,” Ling Nian stated frankly. “You are partners, equals.”
“Yes, you’re absolutely right,” Ye An turned to face him and said slowly, “But I have my own will. I treat him as my master, and he treats me as his partner. These are not contradictory.”
“If that’s how you see it,” Ling Nian nodded, “I respect your perspective.”
Their conversation paused as Li ZouXing walked over, surrounded by his teammates.
Ye An pulled out a chair beside him and said, “Master, please have a seat.”
“Sit here,” Ling Nian also opened up a seat beside him, “You and WenCheng can sit together.”
His tone was not polite at all, only affectionate. Li ZouXing didn’t notice the subtle competition between them and naturally sat down beside Ling Nian. Gu WenCheng also sat down with him, saying, “Start with the porridge.”
The feeling of being surrounded and cared for by everyone made Li ZouXing uncomfortable, but beyond the discomfort, he felt warmth in his heart. He asked Ling Nian, “Have you all eaten?”
“We had our meal while you were showering together,” Ling Nian said.
Ling Nian deliberately emphasized the phrase “showering together” to highlight the intimacy between Gu WenCheng and Li ZouXing, indirectly telling Ye An, “See, we have a good relationship.”
However, Li ZouXing and Gu WenCheng were reminded of what they had done in the bathroom just now.
…Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Li ZouXing placed his fingers in front of Gu WenCheng, who looked puzzled. After about ten seconds, Gu WenCheng finally realized and coughed.
He sniffed his fingertips and Li ZouXing asked, “Does it smell good?”
Could his own scent be considered as not smelling good?
Gu WenCheng nodded and glanced at Ye An across from them, then suddenly smiled, “Of course, it smells great. You should smell the source more.”
“How do you feel?”
Ye An’s attention had been focused on Li ZouXing. He asked, “Are you feeling any discomfort?”
“I feel fine,” Li Zuoxing replied, “Thank you for your rescue, Ye An.”
He had hurt many people along the way, and he had also been injured by many.
He had desperately activated the small spacecraft to escape and had already entered a state of near death in the cockpit.
At the moment of life and death, Ye An’s spacecraft received his distress signal, and upon discovering it was him, Ye An immediately ordered the preparation for a space jump.
Daring to rescue a stranger who sent a distress signal in the vast universe was already admirable.
It was also thanks to the space jump that they managed to escape from Jin Di’s pursuit.
Li ZouXing paused and then said, “The people who hurt me, Xi Nan and Ji Yu also know him.”
With that said, the scope narrowed down to just one person, and Ji Yu’s expression darkened as he said, “Captain Jin Di?”
“Yes.”
Xi Nan looked shocked, and then his eyes blazed with anger. “He dared to do that!”
“He originally intended to deal with Walter,” Li ZouXing continued. “Speaking of which, I have to ask, is there any organization whose attire and style resemble Walter’s?”
