Extra 2-7
After lunch, Ji Mingjiang went back to his room and took a nap—of course, without another person to accompany him. After all, even if he didn’t mind Leiden, he felt the progress was too fast.
Two hours later, Ji Mingjiang, who was lying in bed and still a little sleepy, felt the starship he was in vibrate slightly, and then the noisy sound outside reached Ji Mingjiang’s ears through the thick and soundproof outer wall of the starship.
It can’t be helped. Although this sound insulation is already the most advanced technology currently available, Ji Mingjiang’s hearing is just too good, like a game bug.
As he was listening to the faint sound of what was presumably a greeting in silence, two soft thuds came from the side.
Leiden knocked on his door and asked, “Are you awake?”
It was a voice that he had heard ten thousand times before, but now it sounded inexplicably gentler.
But this may not be his imagination.
After muttering quietly in his heart, Ji Mingjiang blinked, straightened up from the bed, and shouted, “I’m awake; just come in.”
Leiden pushed open the door at the sound of his voice, was flashed by the pale skin under Ji Mingjiang’s unbuttoned shirt, and immediately took a step back. But then he remembered the abrupt change in their relationship a few hours ago and hesitated for a moment before stopping his footsteps in the same place.
He thought he was standing at the door with great composure, watching Ji Mingjiang put on his clothes. Ji Mingjiang’s skin, which could cause endless reverie, was finally covered up with the last button.
But in Leiden’s mind, Ji Mingjiang’s hands with well-articulated fingertips and a hint of healthy pink kept flashing through his mind as he buttoned up his shirt, as well as his dazzlingly white chest and slender waist when his shirt was lifted up—the spot he touched a few hours ago with his own hands. When he finally saw the other person’s wrist and forearm, he couldn’t help but think of the delicate touch he felt when his forearm was pressed against the back of his neck, and he lowered his head to kiss…
“Leiden…”
“Leiden?”
“Leiden!”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
After calling the other person three times, Ji Mingjiang looked at the person who finally came to his senses with suspicious eyes and asked, “What were you thinking just now?”
“I was thinking about which tourist stars in the Federation I will take you to after this work is completed.”
After Leiden coughed, he said without changing his expression.
“…but your ears are so red. It seems like you were imagining or recalling some bad things just now.” Ji Mingjiang stared at Leiden closely for a few seconds, watching his calm expression. With a light smile, he mercilessly exposed his imperfect disguise.
Suddenly, his thoughts and feelings were exposed by someone he had just confirmed a romantic relationship with not long ago. Leiden forgot all about his posture and demeanor for a while. He strode forward and placed his hands directly against Ji Mingjiang’s face, turning him to the side of the clothes rack.
There were still suit trousers, a waistcoat, and a jacket hanging on it that Ji Mingjiang was going to wear.
The warm airflow rushed up to his head, and Ji Mingjiang heard Leiden say, pretending to be serious, “What I was thinking isn’t important. You need to get dressed quickly…”
Ji Mingjiang obediently let him hold his face, feeling the gradually approaching and increasingly rapid breathing above his head.
Then, as if a kiss had landed on the top of his fluffy hair, Ji Mingjiang heard Leiden say in an almost imperceptible voice, “Jiang Jiang?”
What? He was so nervous and tense just now, just to call out a name that many fans have already called out.
Ji Mingjiang complained silently in his heart.
But because of the gentle kiss that was full of cherishing meaning, like coaxing a child, or because of this inexplicable nickname that conveyed a completely different feeling from others, a scarlet blush gradually spread from his neck up to his ears.
A warm but somewhat ambiguous atmosphere flowed in the not-so-spacious room. After more than ten seconds, Ji Mingjiang, who felt that he might want to kiss him again if he pressed any closer, cleared his throat and said, “Of course I know.”
With that, he brought out his right hand, which had just been blocked by the mattress.
A silver shirt clip sat quietly in the palm of his hand, the dangling strap swaying, and Leiden’s mood also swayed with the strap.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Ji Mingjiang say in a very sincere and distressed tone, “So that’s what I was just about to ask you. Are you going to help me put on this shirt clip? It’s not easy to do it by myself.”
After speaking, Ji Mingjiang even turned around specifically so that Leiden, who was completely frozen behind him, could clearly see the sincere expression on his face.
Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to see Leiden’s expression at this time.
Leiden didn’t know how he took the shirt clip that still had the warmth of Ji Mingjiang’s palm. He silently and meticulously fixed it for Ji Mingjiang. At this time, Ji Mingjiang very skillfully reached down and touched Leiden’s hot earlobe with his cold fingertips.
Leiden originally tried his best to control his breathing but was disrupted for a moment by Ji Mingjiang’s movements.
Ji Mingjiang’s thighs, which were always under the protection of all kinds of clothing, were then suddenly attacked by a burst of hot air, and for a split second, Ji Mingjiang seemed to feel that the tip of Leiden’s nose was going to brush against his thighs.
“…”
After a few moments of silence, while Leiden wouldn’t be looking up right now, Ji Mingjiang quietly lifted his other hand and touched his earlobe.
Okay, it’s almost the same temperature, and even his ears are a bit hotter than Leiden’s. Let’s not laugh at him now, lest it come back to bite him later.
Feeling that the earlobe belonging to Leiden seemed to be heating up, Ji Mingjiang retracted his hand with a guilty conscience. At this moment, Leiden, whom he guessed wouldn’t be looking up, suddenly raised his head, his eyes on Ji Mingjiang. He looked back and forth on his two arms and then glanced at Ji Mingjiang’s equally restless ears and neck, his eyes full of understanding.
but……
“Don’t move.”
Leiden, who had already made an effort to moisten his throat in the dark but whose voice was still a little dry and raspy, warned with a pretense of composure.
Fortunately, Ji Mingjiang didn’t mean to cause trouble on purpose, and the next few clips went on smoothly. When Ji Mingjiang was about to ask Leiden to help him get the pants on the side, Leiden, who had finally completed the temporary task, adjusted the collar of his shirt and quickly left the room without waiting for him to speak. The person and the atmosphere in the room were too intoxicating.
“…”
After closing the door, he took a breath of fresh air from the corridor. Thinking of Ji Mingjiang’s obviously surprised expression when he just took the shirt clip, Leiden exhaled a breath and then chuckled.
What a bad guy, and he got himself involved in the end.
