“What misunderstanding?” Qin Cheng was taken aback. His brain kept up with Jian Heng’s progress again as if he had been fed a nutritional supplement, “Holy shit? You don’t think your indomitable Qin-ge… is the bottom, do you?”
By the time he said the last sentence, for some reason, Qin Cheng unconsciously lowered his voice.
Jian Heng extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray. The faint smell of tobacco on him made Qin Cheng feel a bit dazed, as if his pheromones were marking Jian Heng.
“Do you think I am?” Jian Heng rested his legs on the coffee table, shifted his body down a bit, reached out to pull Qin Cheng’s head onto his stomach, and asked while touching his ear: “Do I look like one?”
Qin Cheng looked up and saw that the buzz cut was still as striking as ever, his features cold and hard. The eyes and brows were his favorite, always carrying a hint of detached coolness.
Such a person, whoever dare say Jian Heng is the bottom would be met with his anger.
Jian Heng isn’t, so he… is?
Fuck. Qin Cheng was confused. He isn’t either.
So they could only do hand exercises for the rest of their lives?
Fuck that. Who can stand it?
After holding back for a long time, Qin Cheng finally managed to say these words: “Not at all.”
After a while, he couldn’t help but add: “Then do I look like one? Your Ge, from temperament to appearance to style, do I look like one?”
“Oh, not at all,” Jian Heng smiled, looking at him, “So what should we do?”
Qin Cheng wanted to say that he should just make do and give in a bit, but looking at his face, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
The desire to pamper Jian Heng had been deeply rooted since he didn’t even realize he liked him, and he couldn’t cross that hurdle for a while.
“Just when we were sweet for a moment, we have to face such a harsh reality,” Qin Cheng sighed, reached out to touch his abs, shook his head, “Life is really unpredictable.”
“Indeed,” Jian Heng pulled over the small blanket that was placed on the sofa last night, shook it open, and draped it over him, “Let’s skip this topic. What do you want to eat later, boyfriend?”
The moment the word ‘boyfriend’1這三個字 (zhè sān gè zì): T/N: This part actually translate to ‘those three words’; since the word ‘boyfriend’ had three characters 男朋友 (nán péng yǒu), but since in English it’s only one word, I change this part a bit. came out of his mouth, the corners of Qin Cheng’s mouth lifted, and while laughing, he said: “Anything is fine, boyfriend.”
“Hit you,” Jian Heng also laughed, leaning back on the sofa, his expression a bit lazy, “what do you really want to eat?”
The most annoying thing about cooking is when the person you’re cooking for says ‘anything is fine’. Qin Cheng knew this well, but he just couldn’t help teasing his boyfriend.
After all, his boyfriend dotes on him.
“You’re committing domestic violence if you hit me now,” Qin Cheng covered him with the blanket, the two of them snuggling under the small blanket, indescribably intimate, “I can report you.”
He didn’t know when it started, but he had grown fond of the feeling of squeezing into a small space with Jian Heng. There was only space for the two of them, and when they cuddled up neck to neck, they were like two big, satiated cats, basking in the sun together.
“Go ahead,” Jian Heng’s hand rested on his waist, warm and cozy. “If you arrest me, you’ll drink the wind at night.”
“Then it’s better not to catch you,” Qin Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, “I can’t bear it.”
Outside the window, there seemed to be sparrows chirping, and the north wind was hitting the glass, creating a series of faint, fragmented sounds.
The two of them were snuggled up in a warm little blanket, the wind and snow outside were of no concern to them.
“Do you want to eat cake?” Qin Cheng propped himself up on his legs, looked at the sofa, and couldn’t help but pat the backrest, sighing, “Look at all the things we’ve done on this sofa.”
The first susceptible period was on the sofa, the day Jian Heng confessed, they fell onto the sofa. Now, he confessed again, and it was still on the same sofa.
It’s truly a sofa with a glorious battle record2戰功顯赫 (zhàn gōng xiǎn hè): T/N: 戰功 (zhàn gōng) means outstanding military service, while 顯赫 (xiǎn hè) means illustrious; celebrated. Together, it could be translated as shining with exploits. LMAO.
“Bite, kiss, rub——” Jian Heng had just said one word when Qin Cheng covered his mouth.
“Honor student3三好學生 (sān hǎo xué sheng): student award for excellence in character, health and performance. The highest standard you can achieve in China is called 三好學生 in Chinese, or “merit student (good in three aspects)”. The concept was first brought up in 1953. It means in order to excel at school, a pupil has to be outstanding in three aspects: morally, intellectually, and physically. More information: Link., don’t be so vulgar,” Qin Cheng said with a serious face. “Please say ‘mutual help’.”
Jian Heng removed his hand and calmly finished: “Mutual rubbing.”
“Fuck,” Qin Cheng’s old face flushed, and halfway through, he felt it was completely unnecessary to be embarrassed. Besides, they had already done everything that should be done without distinguishing between top and bottom, so what was there to be shy about? He said recklessly: “Fine, rub if you want.”
Qin Cheng picked up his shirt and put it on. Just as he was about to get off the bed, he was startled by the sea of tissues on the floor. Dramatically covering his kidney, he turned back to look at him, weakly collapsing onto him: “Fuck, I think… we… ah… might… have… overdone it4吃棗藥丸 (chī zǎo yào wán): lit. eaten jujube pills; (neologism, slang) to be doomed one way or another. Having nothing to do with its literal meaning, this term was coined by Chinese netizens as the funny parodic pronunciation of 遲早要完 (chí zǎo yào wán), meaning destined to fail, sooner or later. Originally this term was used by fans to describe AcFun, one of the earliest streaming sites in China whose hardcore users were animation, comic and game fans. Troubled by constant reshuffles, lawsuits and a lack of licenses for audio and video content, AcFun was disparaged by users who sometimes found it difficult to log onto. “This website is doomed,” they said.…”
Although Jian Heng himself was out of the game, he always managed to catch him. He covered his eyes with his hand and said: “You can’t do it anymore, it’s okay, I can.”
“You don’t have to!” Qin Cheng slapped his hand away, seized the opportunity to stand up, and with a long stride, escaped the white minefield area. He ran to the kitchen, grabbed a broom, and swiftly cleaned up the battlefield.
As long as I’m fast enough, embarrassment can’t catch up with me.
Jian Heng put on his clothes, walked to the table, picked up the flowers that had been tossed aside, and gently smelled them.
Halfway through his embarrassment, Qin Cheng couldn’t help but lean over to smell them too, frowning: “Why don’t they smell like anything?”
“Pretty fragrant,” Jian Heng touched the two small sunflowers in the middle, his movements revealing a hint of carefulness, “How did you think of buying these?”
“I think sunflowers look nice, bright and cheerful,” Qin Cheng still couldn’t smell any fragrance, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Qi’er said they don’t look good, and said only you could tolerate me.”
“They’re nice, let’s put them in a bottle.” Jian Heng said.
Qin Cheng went to the kitchen, grabbed a few mineral water bottles, and the two of them used scissors to cut them open and filled them with water. Jian Heng carefully placed the flowers inside and arranged them in the living room.
“I didn’t buy a big cake. You said not to eat too many sweets. Ah, I’m really a henpecked husband5妻管嚴 (qī guǎn yán): (neologism, slang, humorous, of a married man) to be henpecked by his wife; to be submissive at home; henpecked male; man under his wife’s thumb.,” Qin Cheng took out the candles, handed half to him, and they inserted them together, “How many should we put?”
“Nine,” Jian Heng arranged them from left to right in the order of ‘one’, ‘three’, ‘one’, ‘four’.
“What kind of formation is this?” Qin Cheng looked confused.
“The 131461314: “Forever”, usually preceded by a phrase such as “I love you” or the similar. When read in Chinese, 1314 (yī sān yī sì) sounds similar to 一生一世 (yī shēng yī shì), “one lifetime, throughout one’s life”, “one life, one world,” meaning “for the rest of my life” or “forever”. And, if you put the last two examples together, we get what has to be the quickest way to declare undying love in any language: 520 1314, or 我愛你一生一世 (wǒ ài nǐ yī shēng yī shì) — I love you forever! formation,” Jian Heng’s lips curled up slightly, “Light them.”
“As expected of a school tyrant, even lighting candles is so romantic,” Qin Cheng said while lighting the candle. “Shouldn’t we make a wish? No, it’s not like it’s a birthday or anything. Why am I feeling a bit nervous?”
“Nervous about what? If you want to make a wish, make one,” Jian Heng helped him to light the remaining one, and lifted his head to look at him, with the shadow of firelight dancing under his eyes; his voice was low: “I’ll make it come true for you.”
Qin Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a bit sweetened.
“I hope my boyfriend and I will be together forever, growing old together. I hope my boyfriend will be healthy and eat well. I hope life will treat us well because we’re so handsome together.”
After Qin Cheng finished speaking, he blew out the candle in one breath.
Actually, it wasn’t prepared; he just said whatever came to mind, but it felt good in his heart.
When they weren’t together, he always thought about doing something romantic, something formal. Now that they were officially together, he realized he liked everything about the other person. As long as Jian Heng smiled at him every day, he was satisfied.
The two of them cut the cake and each ate a small piece. Then Qin Cheng cleaned up while Jian Heng went to do his homework.
Qin Cheng stood behind him, a bit reluctant to leave.
Look, this is the outcome of early love. His boyfriend was a school tyrant, so he had to study, while he was a school slag but had to earn money through live streaming.
Truly a case of being worlds apart despite being so close!
“Boyfriend,” Qin Cheng lowered his head, “hurry up and kiss me, or I won’t be able to move my legs.”
Jian Heng wrapped his arms around Qin Cheng’s neck and gave him a kiss. They were all lovey-dovey, kissing and playfully biting each other, and after a long time, they finally separated, both a bit breathless.
“I’m going to write on the other side,” Jian Heng said.
Qin Cheng waved his hand, using all his strength to refuse, looking like he was bearing a heavy burden, gritting his teeth: “No need, my talking will affect your homework.”
Jian Heng chuckled, patting his head: “I’ll come over after I finish.”
Qin Cheng sighed: “Mm, then hurry up with your homework.”
***
At night, when they went to bed, Qin Cheng, wanting to show his boyfriend prowess, proactively suggested hugging Jian Heng to sleep: “You always hug me, I want to hug you too. Is that okay?”
Jian Heng casually took off his pajamas and glanced at him: “Whatever.”
Qin Cheng was satisfied, wrapping his arms around him from behind, resting his head on the back of Jian Heng’s neck, lightly inhaling the scent of incense.
The moon was very bright tonight, and even with the curtains drawn, the moonlight still filled the room.
The silver light fell on them, and despite both being fierce-looking Alphas, they were inexplicably tinged with a kind of indescribable tenderness.
“Do you remember the first time I stayed at your house?” Today had been quite eventful, and Qin Cheng’s brain was buzzing with excitement, completely awake, unable to help but reminisce, “You even asked me why I wasn’t wearing pajamas.”
“Mm,” Jian Heng’s voice was also quite clear, “If you flaunt your bare body in front of me, I’ll want to fuck you.”
“Hey, we can’t talk about this today,” Qin Cheng felt his whole body heat up from what Jian Heng said, touching his gland, “You’ve been thinking about me since then? Were Ge that charming?”
“Yeah, lying on the bed bare-chested, I almost couldn’t resist taking your pants off and fuck you until you cry,” Jian Heng said.
“Fuck,” Qin Cheng’s ears turn hot, grabbing Jian Heng’s shoulders and turning him around to face him, saying seriously, “Jian-ge, we’re good students, we shouldn’t talk like this.”
“Shouldn’t we?” Jian Heng looked straight at him, suddenly sticking out his tongue to lick his palm. The soft, moist sensation makes Qin Cheng retract his hand abruptly, his heart racing uncontrollably.
“Qin Cheng, do you know what you look like right now?” Jian Heng held the back of his neck and pressed him towards himself, their foreheads touching, noses almost touching, their hot breaths mingling.
“What…?” Qin Cheng’s sensitive Alpha instincts made him want to resist, but Jian Heng’s gaze made him suppress that thought.
“Like someone who needs to be fucked.” Jian Heng’s voice was low and steady, his eyes fixed on him like a predator.
Qin Cheng opened his mouth to speak but his throat was dry.
Jian Heng suddenly released his grip and kissed the tip of his nose: “Sleep now, goodnight.”
Qin Cheng turned over like a puppet, lay flat, and closed his eyes. The rolling Adam’s apple betraying the storm raging inside him.
Qin Cheng didn’t want to admit that for a brief moment, he had wanted to say, ‘Bring it on’.
Both being Alphas, they each had their own hurdles to overcome, both physiological and psychological.
Letting him be the one on the bottom, Qin Cheng swallowed hard, finding it utterly unbelievable no matter how he thought about it.
…..
Qin Cheng slept soundly through the night. Although he experienced a battle between heaven and man before going to bed, in his dreams, everything was peaceful and serene.
So peaceful that when he opened his eyes in the morning, he had no idea when Jian Heng had gotten up.
He paused for a moment, then realized what was happening, rubbed his hair, and sat up, calling out to the outside: “Jian Heng? Boyfriend? Heng Heng? Baby? Dear——”
“Here, not lost.” Jian Heng came in holding a bag of steamed buns7包子 (bāozi): Steamed buns. 
, sweat on his forehead, slightly out of breath, clearly just back from a run.
“My God, what made you give up warming up in bed with me to run in the freezing cold at minus ten degrees in the morning?” Qin Cheng pulled on a sweater over his head, somewhat doubting his own charm. “Student Jian Heng, is your boyfriend really that unattractive?”
Jian Heng leaned against the doorframe watching him get dressed, his gaze growing darker, but his voice remained calm: “Too attractive, couldn’t help but want to do it, but you wouldn’t let me, so I had to go for a run.”
“Hey,” Qin Cheng paused while putting on his pants, his boyfriend’s hunger and roughness overwhelming him. “How should I respond to that?”
“No need to respond,” Jian Heng turned to leave, leaving a distant remark, “Wash up and eat, or you won’t have the strength to resist.”
“Fuck!” Qin Cheng laughed, “Qin-ge doesn’t back down from a fight, alright? This student, let’s have a go, otherwise you’ll never be convinced.”
“Bring it on,” Jian Heng suddenly turned back, leaning on the doorframe with one hand, looking at him. “Fight now?”
Qin Cheng shrugged, rolled up his sleeves, and beckoned with his finger: “Come on, scared——”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jian Heng suddenly rushed over, the overwhelming scent of incense carrying a surge of pressure straight to his face. Before he could react, Jian Heng had already cupped the back of his head and kissed him.
Done for, were the only words left in Qin Cheng’s mind. The next second, he was completely immersed in the pheromones filled with desire, holding Jian Heng’s face and kissing him back fiercely.
He didn’t know when they fell onto the bed, only that when they separated, his hands were tied.
Jian Heng looked down at him from above, tracing his finger across his face with a smile in his eyes: “Are you convinced?”
“What the fuck?” Qin Cheng looked at the towel tied around his hands, a bit dazed, “You, did you cheat? If we’re going to fight, then fight, why kiss me?”
“To fuck you,” Jian Heng leaned down, pinning him down, biting his chin, and asked again, “Are you convinced?”
Qin Cheng swallowed hard.
He had to admit, this version of Jian Heng was particularly sexy. The more someone suppresses their desires, the harder it is to resist when they finally let go.
If it’s Jian Heng, it doesn’t seem impossible…
“…It’s not a matter of whether I’m convinced or not,” Qin Cheng lifted his leg and kicked him. “Get off first, let’s us brothers discuss this.”
Taking advantage of his lifted leg, Jian Heng didn’t hesitate to squeeze between his legs.
“…” Qin Cheng felt a wave of danger.
“Let’s discuss it,” Jian Heng was very satisfied with this position.
“Ahem,” Qin Cheng tried his best to ignore his legs and silently recited the Calming Mantra, not daring to move, “About that top and bottom thing, it’s not that we can’t negotiate. After all, I love you deeply…”
“So do I,” Jian Heng lowered his head and kissed him again.
“Be fair,” Qin Cheng couldn’t help but chase his lips and bite him, “One turn each?”
Jian Heng raised an eyebrow, not saying a word.
“Is it okay? It’s just a matter of one sentence,” Qin Cheng said.
“No,” Jian Heng’s lips curled up, his expression very pleased, but his mouth was stubborn.
“This student, don’t push your luck,” Qin Cheng threatened.
“This student will buy a standing ticket and leave overnight,” Jian Heng countered.
“……Fuck.”
After a stalemate of two or three minutes, Qin Cheng compromised: “Alright, let’s try it once first. If I can’t stand it, we’ll stop.”
“Mm,” Jian Heng straightened up, helping him untie the towel on his hands, “I’ll listen to you.”
“Why didn’t you listen to me just now,” Qin Cheng still felt it was unfair, couldn’t help but grab him by the back of the neck and bite him, “You better remember Ge’s kindness. Your Ge, an indomitable Alpha, has sacrificed so much. I’m really going all out to please you, you know?”
“I know,” Jian Heng looked at him with a smile.
Qin Cheng maintained a serious expression for a few seconds but couldn’t hold back and started laughing too.
Damn it, just consider it as coaxing my wife. Isn’t it just being a 0 for love? Just once, it won’t kill anyone.
Who told him to love so deeply?
The author has something to say:
On the surface, the author calmly put a handful of chrysanthemums into the teapot, with a smile on his lips and tears in his eyes, saying: I heard that after the main characters get together, a huge wave of people will abandon the story? No~~~ Come back quickly~~~ I can’t handle it alone~~~~ Let’s watch the cubs falling in love~~~ (Author crying Erkang hand.jpg8爾康手 (ěr kāng shǒu): In My Fair Princess, Erkang has a very classic action, which is called Erkang hand. It exaggeratedly expresses the meaning of “wait a minute”, “don’t go”, and calling the other party.
