The airplane flew over in the high sky.
In the spacious first-class cabin.
Gu Chenyan took a soft blanket from the flight attendant’s hand and covered it over Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu tilted his head lazily, leaning against Gu Chenyan’s shoulder, and his legs swayed slightly. “When we arrive at Bingcheng later, do you need to handle work first?”
Gu Chenyan: “Yes.”
Gu Chenyan: “I’ll accompany you skiing tomorrow.”
Qiao Shu smiled, “Don’t always have to think of me. When you’re working, I’ll be there with you.”
Gu Chenyan softly: “Okay.”
Qiao Shu wrapped his hands around Gu Chenyan’s neck and suddenly sighed, “I kind of miss Zai Zai.”
Qiao Shu: “I wonder if Zai Zai will cry because he misses us.”
Qiao Shu: “He’s so little. Will he still recognize us as his two dads when we return from playing?”
Gu Chenyan gently brushed aside the strand of hair falling on Qiao Shu’s forehead with his fingers: “If you want, I’ll arrange for a plane for Aunt Sun and Aunt Lan to bring Zai Zai over.”
Qiao Shu: “Haha.”
“As expected of President Gu.” Qiao Shu laughed, then shook his head. “No need. Zai Zai is still too young, his eardrums are too fragile. It’s better not to take a plane if unnecessary, and Bingcheng is too cold.”
Qiao Shu: “We can video call with Zai Zai.”
He pouted, “If Zai Zai dares to forget me in just a few days, hmph—”
Gu Chenyan chuckled, “If Zai Zai dares to forget Daddy, shall I spank him for you?”
Qiao Shu laughed, “That’s a good idea.”
Qiao Shu: “But just a spank.”
Qiao Shu: “His buttocks are chubby. Spanking won’t hurt him.”
Gu Chenyan: “Okay.”
Qiao Shu: “Okay.”
Qiao Shu: “You can’t hit too hard.”
Gu Chenyan: “Okay.”
Qiao Shu: “Just lightly. A couple of taps on Zai Zai’s buttocks will do.”
Gu Chenyan: “I’ll follow your lead.”
Qiao Shu couldn’t help but laugh gleefully, “If Zai Zai knew that not only did we not take him out to play, but we also planned to spank him when we got back, he would definitely cry.”
Gu Chenyan smirked, “Fortunately, Zai Zai doesn’t know.”
Qiao Shu giggled.
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu is really naughty.”
Gu Chenyan looked at him, “Am I naughty?”
“Not naughty at all.” Qiao Shu smiled mischievously and planted a big kiss on Gu Chenyan’s cheek, “If you’re naughty, Little Mr. Qiao will accompany Mr. Gu in being naughty.”
Gu Chenyan pinched Qiao Shu’s nose.
Qiao Shu obediently accepted the pinching.
During the nearly five-hour journey, Qiao Shu and Gu Chenyan ate, drank, and talked together. The food in the first-class cabin was carefully prepared, and it tasted excellent, much better than the airplane meals Qiao Shu had eaten before. Qiao Shu was extremely happy with the food. While eating, he occasionally mischievously fed Gu Chenyan a bite, then playfully took it back. He watched movies and played games happily, with Gu Chenyan indulging him and joining in the fun.
Halfway through the journey, Qiao Shu finally couldn’t help but let out a tired yawn, with tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.
Gu Chenyan: “Feeling sleepy?”
Qiao Shu yawned while rubbing his eyes and nodded, “A little.”
Gu Chenyan turned off the small TV, “Take a nap. We still have two hours to go.”
Qiao Shu: “Hmm.”
Qiao Shu: “You’ll stay with me.”
Gu Chenyan: “Okay.”
Gu Chenyan helped Qiao Shu adjust his seat, then adjusted his own, before lying down with Qiao Shu in his arms, stretching out his arm to serve as a pillow for Qiao Shu. He carefully tucked the blanket around them.
Qiao Shu shifted, snuggling tightly against Gu Chenyan, feeling the gentle comforting touch of the man’s hand on his back. He smiled, leaned up to kiss Gu Chenyan on the cheek, then closed his eyes peacefully.
Before long, he fell asleep.
Gu Chenyan watched Qiao Shu sleeping. He gently smiled, kissed Qiao Shu’s forehead, and then fell asleep holding him.
Qiao Shu was awakened when the plane had already landed at Bingcheng Airport. Gu Chenyan had someone bring hot water, and he was currently using a towel to soak in the hot water.
“Ah—”
Yawning, Qiao Shu looked out the window, “We’ve arrived?”
Qiao Shu: “They’re all wearing a lot of clothes.”
Qiao Shu: “It seems very cold.”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
“Today, Bingcheng’s temperature is minus eight degrees Celsius. We’ll change into warmer clothes when we get downstairs later.”
The towel was already heated. Gu Chenyan held the towel over Qiao Shu’s face and gently wiped his face.
Qiao Shu obediently tilted his head.
After wiping his face, he obediently extended his hands for Gu Chenyan to hold and wash.
The warm towel and water refreshed Qiao Shu a lot. He happily leaned over and kissed Gu Chenyan, “Mr. Gu, Little Mr. Qiao loves you so much.”
Gu Chenyan chuckled lightly.
Bingcheng was so cold that it made one’s teeth chatter, especially in places like the airport where the wind was strong.
Qiao Shu was wrapped up like a ball, with only his eyes visible. When he got off the plane, he shivered from the cold, quickly seeking refuge in Gu Chenyan’s embrace.
Qiao Shu: “It’s, it’s too cold.”
Qiao Shu hadn’t experienced much of this winter. During the coldest times, he stayed indoors, enjoying the warmth of central heating. By the time he could go out, Haicheng had already begun to warm up.
Arriving suddenly in Bingcheng, he found it difficult to adjust to the temperature here.
Gu Chenyan: “Let’s walk faster.”
The car was waiting just ahead.
Qiao Shu nodded quickly, holding onto Gu Chenyan’s waist. He couldn’t help but shiver again as he looked at Gu Chenyan’s coat, “Aren’t you cold at all?”
Qiao Shu: “Aren’t you wearing too little?”
Gu Chenyan: “No.”
His clothes were very warm, and coupled with his good constitution, he didn’t feel cold at all. Qiao Shu felt cold wearing more layers because he was naturally sensitive to cold, plus there were psychological factors at play.
Gu Chenyan quickly ushered Qiao Shu into the car, closing the door. Qiao Shu basked in the warmth of the car’s heater, finally feeling comfortable.
He took off his hat. “It’s so cold. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go skiing tomorrow.”
Gu Chenyan took off Qiao Shu’s scarf and then took a cup of hot tea from the assistant and handed it to Qiao Shu’s lips to feed him. “Shall I ask Assistant Chen to find an indoor ski resort?”
Qiao Shu took a sip and refused, “No.”
Qiao Shu: “Skiing is more fun outdoors.”
He rubbed his hands eagerly. “I’ve already planned which skiing posture I’m going to use tomorrow.”
Qiao Shu: “Hahaha. I also want to take photos to show Jiang Jiayu and make him jealous.”
Jiang Jiayu’s belly was gradually growing, and there were many things he couldn’t do anymore. He was currently staying at home, happily enduring the hardships of pregnancy. Hearing that Qiao Shu was coming to Bingcheng for skiing made him incredibly envious.
As a mischievous friend, Qiao Shu naturally wanted to take many photos to show Jiang Jiayu.
Dealing with the affairs of the Bingcheng branch was not difficult for Gu Chenyan. In just one afternoon, Gu Chenyan had almost resolved everything. The remaining trivial matters were handed over to Chen Wenyuan.
Because of Gu Chenyan’s arrival, the employees of the Bingcheng branch were even more efficient and cautious in handling their tasks, fearing to provoke the great Buddha, Gu Chenyan.
Inside the small villa.
Qiao Shu sat in the hot spring pool, surrounded by warm water, and comfortably exhaled, “You should come down too. It’s so comfortable.”
This small villa they rented had a hot spring pool, with natural hot spring water flowing down from the mountain behind the villa.
One indoors and one outdoors.
Qiao Shu preferred the outdoor open-air hot spring pool, with its scattered green trees and flowers, offering views of the picturesque snowscape and lovely ice sculptures. However, since it was late at night and the temperature outside was even colder, Qiao Shu could only soak in the indoor hot spring pool.
But the indoor hot spring pool was also quite good.
At night, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the beautiful night snow scenery outside.
Peaceful and delightful.
Gu Chenyan: “Okay.”
After sending the last message, he put down his phone, slowly took off his clothes, put on a pair of shorts, and stepped on the stones next to the pool before slowly entering the hot spring.
Qiao Shu: “…”
Great physique!
Qiao Shu blinked continuously as he stared, only snapping out of it when Gu Chenyan sat beside him, with his chest still above the water. Qiao Shu then cautiously touched his nose after swallowing a mouthful of water.
Qiao Shu: “No nosebleed.”
Gu Chenyan chuckled lightly.
Qiao Shu pouted, “Mr. Gu, are you teasing me?”
Gu Chenyan: “No.”
Qiao Shu looked at him.
Gu Chenyan raised his hand and tapped Qiao Shu’s nose, leaving a droplet of water on the tip of Qiao Shu’s nose, and said with a smile, “I’m glad Little Mr. Qiao likes my body.”
Gu Chenyan: “I’ll work hard to maintain it.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu: “It tickles.”
Qiao Shu rubbed his chest, and couldn’t help but laugh as he grabbed onto Gu Chenyan’s sturdy arm, then lowered his head and nuzzled his nose against Gu Chenyan’s arm, wiping away the water droplet, “Mr. Gu, I’ve been wanting to ask you a question for a long time.”
Gu Chenyan: “What is it?”
Qiao Shu: “Are you a member of the national shooting team?”
Gu Chenyan: “?”
Qiao Shu: “Why are you always able to shoot directly at my heart with such accuracy?”
Qiao Shu: “Bang!”
Qiao Shu mimicked a shooting gesture, “Shot after shot, so handsome and charming. I just couldn’t resist.”
Qiao Shu: “I couldn’t hold out at all.”
Gu Chenyan suddenly realized, then chuckled softly, “I wasn’t like this before.”
Qiao Shu: “Hmm?”
Gu Chenyan: “Until I met Little Mr. Qiao, I didn’t know why.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu: “You’re breaking the rules again.”
Ba-dump
Qiao Shu clutched his heart, smiling sweetly and happily, “But I really like it.”
Gu Chenyan raised an eyebrow.
Qiao Shu: “Especially…”
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu, you’re so handsome.”
Qiao Shu: “Your physique is also good.”
He took another sip of water, then sneakily and unabashedly reached out his hand to touch Gu Chenyan’s abdominal muscles.
Feels really good.
Such a great touch!
Gu Chenyan leaned against the edge of the pool, smiling as he watched Qiao Shu fooling around on him. Just as he was about to pull the increasingly bold Qiao Shu over to give him a good lesson, someone knocked on the nearby wooden door.
Qiao Shu was startled.
He quickly climbed off Gu Chenyan’s body, pretending to be very serious and earnestly soaking in the hot spring.
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly.
Qiao Shu blushed.
Gu Chenyan affectionately pinched Qiao Shu’s cheek, then said, “Come in.”
A few footsteps approached.
Qiao Shu looked up in confusion. Why would someone come during bath time?
He blinked.
Three men in identical uniforms approached, each carrying a large wooden tray.
Qiao Shu blinked again.
The three men quickly reached the edge of the hot spring. Without looking around, they squatted down slowly and gently placed their wooden trays onto the hot spring.
With a light push of their palms, the three trays floated toward Qiao Shu and Gu Chenyan.
The three men quickly left.
Qiao Shu looked at the three trays. On two of them were bowls of noodles, quite large and made of wood. The noodles only covered the bottom of the bowl, with some slices of beef and vegetables on top, and the white broth was perfectly level with the noodles.
Aside from the noodles, there were neatly arranged wooden chopsticks and spoons, as well a delicate wooden bottle and exquisite wine glasses.
The other tray held a small plate of desserts and fruits.
Qiao Shu’s eyes brightened as he smelled the fragrance of the noodles. “When did you arrange this?”
The villa they were staying in had a butler service, and they could request anything they needed at any time. However, during times when no service was needed, no one would disturb them in the villa.
Gu Chenyan smiled and pushed the tray with the bowl of noodles in front of Qiao Shu. “Try it.”
Gu Chenyan: “This is the famous hot spring noodles here.”
Then he picked up the delicate wooden bottle, removed the stopper, and immediately, a sweet aroma of wine wafted out.
“Alcohol!” exclaimed Qiao Shu.
Gu Chenyan: “Yes.”
Gu Chenyan: “It’s fruit wine, said to be brewed from the snow water at the top of the snow-capped mountains.”
Gu Chenyan: “The alcohol content is very low.”
It’s just right for drinking while soaking in the hot spring.
Gu Chenyan poured the wine from the wooden bottle into the cup and handed it to Qiao Shu’s lips.
Qiao Shu opened his mouth and took a sip, then couldn’t help but smack his lips in appreciation, “Delicious!”
Qiao Shu: “A bit sweet.”
Sweet and tasty with a hint of intoxication from the alcohol. It made people savor it.
Qiao Shu was delighted.
He eagerly picked up a simple-shaped noodle with his chopsticks, his eyes shining even brighter.
Qiao Shu: “So tasty!”
Qiao Shu: “You should eat too!”
The foodie Qiao Shu urged Gu Chenyan.
Gu Chenyan chuckled lightly and grabbed another tray. He took some chopsticks and began to eat with Qiao Shu.
The portion of hot spring noodles was not much, just enough for three or four mouthfuls. After finishing, Qiao Shu drank up the soup, leaving the bowl clean and still wanting more.
Qiao Shu: “Is this all?”
“Mr. Gu, let’s order a few more bowls.” He licked his lips, savoring the taste of the hot spring noodles, feeling greedy, “I’ve just started to enjoy this bowl.”
Gu Chenyan: “No.”
Qiao Shu was aggrieved, “Mr. Gu~”
Gu Chenyan wiped Qiao Shu’s mouth with a clean towel, “It’s not good to overeat while soaking in the hot spring. It’s bad for your health.”
Gu Chenyan: “If you like it, they’ll bring more after we finish soaking in the hot spring.”
Gu Chenyan: “Okay?”
Qiao Shu pouted, “Okay.”
He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, “Great wine!”
After finishing, he cheered up again.
Unfortunately, the delicious fruit wine was in such short supply; he had only poured three small cups, and it was gone.
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu’s gaze involuntarily fell on the wine bottle in front of Gu Chenyan that hadn’t been finished yet.
Gu Chenyan chuckled, “You shouldn’t drink too much.”
Then he tilted his head back and finished the remaining fruit wine in one go.
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu is really mean.”
Qiao Shu: “You don’t care about Little Mr. Qiao at all. You didn’t even let Little Mr. Qiao have any fruit wine.”
Qiao Shu: “Little Mr. Qiao is mad!”
Qiao Shu: “The consequences will be serious!”
Gu Chenyan became interested. He set down his wine glass and said, “What does Little Mr. Qiao want to do?”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph!”
Qiao Shu let out a heavy grunt, then boldly advanced, baring his teeth and claws as he pounced on Gu Chenyan.
Gu Chenyan quickly caught him.
Water splashed everywhere.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qiao Shu opened his mouth and bit Gu Chenyan’s lips. His agile tongue darted into Gu Chenyan’s mouth, arrogantly teasing Gu Chenyan’s territory.
Gu Chenyan lowered his gaze to look at Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu smirked triumphantly.
Then he took a deep breath and withdrew from Gu Chenyan’s embrace. He held onto Gu Chenyan’s neck, “Great wine!”
He chuckled in the water, “You didn’t let me drink but I still managed to.”
Qiao Shu: “How about that?”
Qiao Shu extended his vibrant tongue, lightly brushing it against the moist lips, deliberately slowing down his movements.
In the hot spring pool, his legs mischievously lifted his knees and rubbed against a certain part of the man.
Gu Chenyan grunted.
His eyes quickly darkened.
His hand, holding Qiao Shu’s waist, involuntarily tightened slightly, “Qiao Shu.”
Qiao Shu lifted his chin, “Little Mr. Qiao said he’s angry.”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph, Hmph.”
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly.
Qiao Shu: “What are you laughing at?”
Gu Chenyan: “Nothing.”
Gu Chenyan: “The consequences of Little Mr. Qiao’s anger are indeed serious.”
Qiao Shu proudly: “Of course.”
Qiao Shu: “Does Mr. Gu want to give Little Mr. Qiao some wine now?”
Gu Chenyan chuckled lightly, “Yes.”
Gu Chenyan: “Not only that. Mr. Gu also decided to personally feed Little Mr. Qiao.”
Qiao Shu: “Ah?”
The next second, everything spun around. Qiao Shu was pressed against the poolside by Gu Chenyan, holding onto his waist.
He blinked.
Then he smiled, his legs proactively hooking around Gu Chenyan’s waist, “Mr. Gu.”
Qiao Shu: “Let’s have a hot spring play!”
Qiao Shu very openly exposed himself. He leaned in and kissed Gu Chenyan’s neck.
The sound of water echoed.
The atmosphere was very ambiguous.
But after a while, Qiao Shu was gently carried out of the hot spring pool by Gu Chenyan.
Gu Chenyan took a towel to wipe Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu blushed, his eyes watery and pleading. He pouted, “Why don’t we continue?”
“It’s uncomfortable.”
Just when he started to feel it, it ended…
Gu Chenyan: “It’s not good to soak in the hot spring for too long.”
Gu Chenyan: “Be good. Endure it for a bit.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
He gritted his teeth, “Mr. Gu, were you restraining yourself while we were kissing just now?”
Sniffle~
Qiao Shu unhappily bit Gu Chenyan’s shoulder, “Mr. Gu, you really don’t love Little Mr. Qiao anymore.”
Qiao Shu: “Even Little Mr. Qiao can’t make you lose your mind.”
Gu Chenyan: “Who said that?”
Qiao Shu: “I did.”
Then he bit again.
The taste was quite good. Qiao Shu became more and more unrestrained, even mischievously using his tongue to lick.
He took another bite.
Feeling Gu Chenyan’s body becoming increasingly tense and rigid, Qiao Shu happily wiggled his little feet.
Gu Chenyan: “…”
He restrained a sigh.
Qiao Shu knowingly asked, feigning innocence, “Why did Mr. Gu sigh?”
Gu Chenyan: “You little rascal.”
Qiao Shu: “Hehe.”
Qiao Shu: “So why did Mr. Gu sigh?”
Gu Chenyan carefully dried the water off Qiao Shu’s body and put a bathrobe on him. He lifted Qiao Shu and walked out.
Gu Chenyan: “You’ll know in a moment.”
Qiao Shu: “Little Mr. Qiao doesn’t know.”
Gu Chenyan lightly held Qiao Shu’s chin, “Really don’t know?”
Gu Chenyan: “Little Mr. Qiao”
Gu Chenyan: “Isn’t it necessary to discipline a naughty child?”
Qiao Shu: “…”
A sense of danger swept over him.
Every pore on Qiao Shu’s body trembled, simultaneously frightened and a bit excited.
But excitement took the upper hand.
So Qiao Shu continued his antics.
He hooked his feet around the man’s waist, his toes restlessly moving on the man’s waist. One hand also mischievously left the man’s neck and moved downward.
“Mmm.”
Gu Chenyan grunted. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu returned the gaze.
Gu Chenyan heavily slapped Qiao Shu’s buttocks and said word by word, “Deserves punishment.”
Qiao Shu giggled.
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu.”
Qiao Shu: “Quick, come punish Little Mr. Qiao”
Very cocky and provocative.
They were standing at the corner of the staircase at this moment.
Gu Chenyan’s brow furrowed.
He took two deep breaths.
Qiao Shu’s toes mischievously hooked again, and he continued to provocatively pinch with his hand.
Gu Chenyan: “No crying.”
As soon as the three words fell, Qiao Shu was pressed against the wall beside the stairs with rough yet gentle force.
Then, like a storm of kisses, they rained down intensively, one after another, light and heavy, each bringing scorching heat, leaving Qiao Shu dizzy, emotionally stirred, and blushing.
Gu Chenyan: “Just.don’t.cry.”
Qiao Shu: “Got it!”
Qiao Shu gasped, speaking each word as he tightly hugged the man’s shoulders.
His legs also tightened around the man’s sturdy waist.
The kisses became even more intense.
In a daze, Qiao Shu heard Gu Chenyan’s gentle chuckle, which made his heart tremble with excitement. He felt an intense itchiness.
“Little Mr. Qiao,” Gu Chenyan breathed out, restraining himself.
The warm breath sprayed onto Qiao Shu’s cheeks, and he opened his hazy eyes.
“It’s too late.”
Gu Chenyan’s voice was hoarse, “It’s too late to beg for mercy.”
“It’s too late.”
The intense kisses descended once again.
Qiao Shu’s uncomfortable fingers tightly gripped Gu Chenyan’s shoulders.
His knuckles turned white.
The rounded, manicured nails slightly sank into the flesh of Gu Chenyan’s shoulders.
…
In a daze, Qiao Shu was placed on the stairs.
