Wen Xueli was enchanted by the youth’s appearance, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, “So obedient?”
Wen Yan closed his eyes and kissed him back, remaining silent.
Today was their engagement ceremony, and he had anticipated that something would happen today…
Although it was embarrassing, he was secretly looking forward to it.
Wen Xueli deeply kissed the person in his arms, gently pecking the youth’s lips with special care.
However, he didn’t proceed further but instead cradled the youth’s face and whispered, “Yanyan, there’s something I need to confess to you.”
Wen Yan blinked in confusion, opening his eyes without understanding.
The man’s gaze was profound, carrying a hint of seriousness.
He immediately became serious, assuming a posture of listening.
Wen Xueli caressed his face, saying, “About the night when I was drunk six months ago, I actually remember it.”
Wen Yan stared at him in astonishment.
Wen Xueli’s slender fingertips slowly moved from his cheek to his shoulder, then slid down from his shoulder, holding his hands.
At this moment, Wen Yan was still lying on the bed, and the man was still on top of him, their chests tightly pressed together, even their breaths entwined.
Their fingers intertwined, and the warmth from the man’s palms continued to transmit to Wen Yan’s heart.
Wen Xueli brought the youth’s hand to his lips, kissed it gently, and said, “Initially, I was not aware… On that day, it was Grandfather’s Memorial Day, and I couldn’t handle alcohol well. I only had three drinks and completely lost consciousness…” He paused, lowering his head to gaze at the youth beneath him, “Yanyan, you must have suffered a lot.”
Wen Yan thought about the man sweating on top of him that night and blushed a bit, choosing to remain silent.
It was indeed a bit tough, especially for the first time.
However, he did enjoy it later. What saddened him was that the next morning, the man had forgotten everything from the previous night…
Wen Xueli noticed his expression and softly said, “At that time, I thought I had dreamt it all, never realizing it was real… I only realized something was amiss on the third day because I happened to see the red marks on your neck.”
Wen Yan was slightly stunned.
During those days, he had been avoiding the man, trying to steer clear of any encounters. Fortunately, the man was busy, often leaving early and returning late. He had thought he concealed it well, but it turned out the man noticed the anomaly.
Wen Xueli lifted his hand, gently caressing his face, and continued, “I was contemplating whether to talk to you about it, but I sensed you were avoiding me. I was afraid that bringing it up would make you uncomfortable. After careful consideration, I ultimately decided not to mention it.”
Wen Yan nuzzled his hand.
Indeed, if the man had brought it up back then, he would have felt incredibly embarrassed. Perhaps, he wouldn’t have dared to continue living with the man. At that time, there was no romantic sentiment between them, and they were still somewhat unfamiliar with each other.
Even though he might have already developed feelings for the man back then… No, to be precise, he might have fallen for him from the moment he appeared at the funeral. However, he didn’t realize it at the time and still treated the man as a distant elder.
Wen Xueli cradled his face and softly asked, “Will you blame me? Blame me for not discussing it with you after I found out the truth?”
Wen Yan immediately shook his head.
If they had talked about it, given his personality, he would have likely avoided the situation until he had clarified his feelings for the man.
He embraced the man’s neck, speaking affectionately, “I don’t blame you.”
Wen Xueli’s throat moved slightly, and he bit Wen Yan firmly.
His Yan Yan was always so obedient, making him unable to resist teasing.
He then showered the young man with a few more kisses.
Afterward, he sat up, lifted the child onto his lap, and said, “Actually, I didn’t plan to take action so soon.”
Wen Yan looked at him, puzzled.
The man chuckled softly and said, “I brought you to Hongcheng, wanting to get to know you slowly, to let you gradually fall for me… Even if it took three or five years, until you graduated from university, I could wait.”
Wen Yan heard the implication in his words.
In other words, the man fell for him even before bringing him to Hongcheng.
He was pleasantly surprised for a moment but also somewhat incredulous.
Wen Xueli looked at the young man’s ever-changing expression, and couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Indeed, he was a clever child. With just a little hint, he managed to grasp his thoughts.
Gently kneading the young man’s soft earlobe with his fingertips, he slowed down his voice and continued, “Around the time when you were three or four, I saw you… It was during a trip back home for ancestral worship. Your grandparents brought you to Suzhou.”
Wen Yan tilted his head. He did remember being taken to Suzhou by his grandparents when he was young, but the memory seemed unpleasant. It seemed his grandparents had hurriedly brought him back to Hongcheng overnight…
Moreover, he couldn’t recall the presence of the man in his memories.
Wen Xueli noticed his thoughts and smiled, saying, “You were still little back then, and I didn’t greet you, so you certainly wouldn’t remember me.” He paused, reminiscing, “During that time, the adults were arguing loudly, and you were sitting there quietly, not crying or making a fuss, very well-behaved.”
In every family, there are illustrious descendants, but there are also struggling branches, especially in a family like the Wen family, which has gone through many generations and turbulent times. Some become wealthier while others face challenges.
Wen Yan’s grandparents belonged to the less affluent category. Although they bought a house in Hongcheng some years ago, their lack of education and the aging process made earning a living increasingly difficult as the economy progressed.
During their ancestral worship trip, they were ridiculed by relatives from their branch for a long time. Some even commented on the elderly couple adopting only one child and implied a sense of disdain.
Later, it was heard that the elderly couple hurriedly returned to Hongcheng overnight and never went back to Suzhou.
For Wen Xueli, it was just a minor episode. However, without that ancestral worship event, he might not have had such a memorable impression of Wen Yan.
Hearing the man praising him, Wen Yan was naturally delighted. However, he was only three or four years old at the time.
Tugging at the man’s shirt, he hesitated and said, “Uncle, you… you’re not into younger people, right?”
Wen Xueli was slightly stunned, then pinched his face with a mix of annoyance and amusement. “Nonsense.”
Wen Yan blushed a bit, fearing the possibility.
Wen Xueli chuckled, shaking his head, and explained, “Last summer vacation, when I went to Hongcheng, I saw you for the second time.”
Wen Yan was stunned.
Carefully recalling, there was still no trace of the man in his memories.
Wen Xueli reminded him, “You were working at a café back then, right? I happened to be discussing business with a friend, and there was a table of customers causing trouble. You handled it very patiently… Since I don’t remember how you looked when you were little, I didn’t recognize you at that time, but I had a good impression of you.” Seeing the young man earnestly listening with those round, shiny black eyes, his voice became even gentler. “The third time I saw you was at your grandparents’ funeral. I remembered your childhood and instantly recognized you as the kid from the café.”
So that’s how it was.
Thinking about it, Wen Yan felt quite destined with the man.
Wen Xueli held the young man’s face, gazing at him tenderly, and said, “I think I might have fallen for you on that third meeting.” Pausing, he added, “Even though your face was swollen and bruised at that time.”
Wen Yan chuckled, feeling a bit of warmth and sweetness tingling in his chest.
He felt so happy.
In the moment he fell in love with the man, the man was also falling for him.
Their connection was truly remarkable.
Wen Xueli, however, felt a bit regretful, saying, “Originally, I planned to confess to you gradually, taking things step by step…”
Wen Yan thought for a moment and said, “Are you feeling like we’re progressing too fast?” He wore a troubled expression. “But sooner or later, I would have discovered that I liked you, and then I would have confessed to you.”
Although he only realized he had feelings for the man after their intimate encounter and with a nudge from Ye Ting…
Even if it didn’t happen so quickly, he would have eventually figured it out.
His straightforward nature made him confident that he would still be the one to confess.
Wen Xueli was slightly taken aback, then remembered the boy who had actively given him roses, implying a desire to be with him. Indeed, he was a straightforward and enthusiastic young man.
His lips curled upward, “No, I am very fortunate.”
He felt fortunate to have established a relationship with the boy early on and kept him by his side.
The man’s eyes were deep and gentle as he gazed affectionately at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan inexplicably felt a warmth spreading across his face, even the tips of his ears were turning warm.
With a low chuckle, Wen Xueli suddenly pressed the boy beneath him and began to remove the young one’s groom attire.
Outside, the sunlight was brilliant, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and the melody of birds. Meanwhile, inside the room, they engaged in joyful activities.
This time, the man made thorough preparations, exploring with utmost tenderness and taking great care of the boy’s feelings.
Wen Yan felt no pain; in fact, he even found it quite enjoyable.
As it concluded, his mind went blank, and he was comforted by the man’s embrace for quite some time before coming back to his senses.
