When the heavy breathing in the office gradually stopped, Cheng Yue lay there, still somewhat dazed.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Xu bit his lip, “Are you dazed?”
Cheng Yue snapped out of it, tilted his head back, and licked Ji Xu’s lips.
“Like a little puppy,” Ji Xu chuckled softly, wiped Cheng Yue’s lower abdomen with some wet wipes, and said, “Alright, I’ve cleaned you up three times, and you’re still not quite back to yourself.”
Cheng Yue looked down at his T-shirt, which had rolled up to his chest, and his pants, which were half off. He sighed but didn’t say anything.
After Ji Xu pulled up his pants and noticed the red marks on Cheng Yue’s waist, he couldn’t help but give them a gentle bite. “Want to go another round?”
Cheng Yue suddenly sat up from the desk, “No thanks.”
Ji Xu was a maniac.
Not only was his climax slow, but he also wouldn’t let Cheng Yue finish.
“Next time, if you call me something more obedient…” Ji Xu helped pull down Cheng Yue’s clothes, “I might let you…”
Before Ji Xu could finish his sentence, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
“Hey, Lawyer Ji! What’s going on in here…” Tang Jing’s voice trailed off as he saw the scene in the office and abruptly stopped.
Cheng Yue was half sitting on the desk, with his long legs draped around Ji Xu’s waist. Ji Xu had one hand on the desk and the other on Cheng Yue’s waist…
Tang Jing covered his eyes with his hand. These two were something else; they were playing dress-up a while ago, and now they were playing in the office.
The world has gone downhill!
Who are they bullying?!
When Cheng Yue heard the commotion, he quickly jumped off the desk, then, with a flushed face, leaned closer to Ji Xu and whispered embarrassedly, “Why didn’t you close the door?”
“Forgot,” Ji Xu said as he pulled Cheng Yue’s clothes back down. “Eat something if you’re hungry. I need to talk to your Uncle Tang.”
Cheng Yue nodded like a garlic clove. At this moment, he just wanted Ji Xu to quickly deal with Tang Jing.
It was too embarrassing. Although he and Ji Xu weren’t doing anything right now, the smell in the office still lingered.
“I have some medicine in my drawer. Apply some to your waist,” Ji Xu said with a smile, ruffling Cheng Yue’s hair, and lowered his voice, “I’ll check when I get back.”
Cheng Yue nodded with a red face and pushed Ji Xu out of the office.
Tang Jing, already standing by the door, made an exaggerated face and winked at Ji Xu when he came out, pretending to be upset, “What’s this! What’s this! Lawyer Ji, stop corrupting the beautiful flowers of our country!”
Ji Xu smiled lightly and was about to say something when Tang Jing interrupted, “Don’t smile! It makes you look even creepier, it’s alarming.”
Ji Xu raised an eyebrow and put a hand on Tang Jing’s shoulder, “Sour grapes, huh?”
“Why would I want to eat your old grapes?” Tang Jing snorted and patted his own belly, “Only my Yue Yue would be blind.”
“Look at this,” Ji Xu suddenly took out his wallet and pulled out a card. “Look.”
“What’s this?” Tang Jing frowned, looking at it for a long time without seeing anything special, then leaned in to look more closely. “A card?”
“Although there’s not a lot of money on it, only about 140,000,” Ji Xu added.
“What’s the matter?” Tang Jing still didn’t get it.
“It was given to me by someone who was blind,” Ji Xu’s expression turned serious. “Where’s your girlfriend, the one who plays the cello?”
Tang Jing: “…”
“Why do you have to be so indirect and provoke me like this?” Tang Jing sighed and followed Ji Xu to his office.
“Where’s the stuff?” Ji Xu asked seriously as he entered the office.
“This…” Tang Jing picked up a confidential bag from the desk, his expression a bit complicated. “We’ve really found something about Cheng Yue’s parents. It’s not an accident.”
Ji Xu’s expression darkened as he opened the confidential bag. The more he read the documents inside, the colder his gaze became.
“Although it took a long time to investigate and we couldn’t figure everything out, the difficulty of the investigation was significant. The main reasons include the fact that Cheng Yue’s parents’ bodies were directly sent for cremation without an autopsy, and the car they were in was crushed by a truck and then destroyed. The car’s condition at the time couldn’t be checked, and the only thing we could investigate was the surveillance video of that section of the road,” Tang Jing explained, tapping the desk.
“The video shows the car driven by Cheng Yue’s parents crashing into the truck. We watched that footage when we started investigating…”
“The head of the criminal police team handling the case is Chen Lie?” Ji Xu interrupted.
“Yes,” Tang Jing nodded quickly. “He’s handling more than just this case and is extremely busy.”
“Has the final investigation result come out?” Ji Xu closed the documents.
“Yes,” Tang Jing said. “I won’t waste your time further. Among the remaining suspects, the truck driver hasn’t been found. According to the information, he was sent abroad.”
Ji Xu studied the list of suspects on the documents intently.
“Make sure to talk to Cheng Yue properly,” Tang Jing said, patting Ji Xu’s shoulder. “Don’t let him be so sad. He’s finally gotten settled, don’t let it all fall apart.”
Ji Xu nodded and reviewed the documents again before saying solemnly, “The Liang Siwei case will be retried. Such things are better off dead; leaving them around only disgusts people.”
Ji Xu and Tang Jing discussed the retrial of Liang Siwei for about an hour before settling on a general direction.
Tang Jing glanced at the clock on the wall and said with a bit of a headache, “Hurry up and take your kid home. Everything here is settled.”
When Ji Xu entered his office, he saw Cheng Yue sitting at the computer, which was turned down low.
Ji Xu approached and found Cheng Yue watching a sports game, looking very interested.
“Did you apply the medicine to your waist?” Ji Xu asked, and without waiting for Cheng Yue’s reply, he went over and lifted up his shirt to check. Seeing the red marks still there, he pressed Cheng Yue down into the seat and said, “Didn’t I tell you to apply the medicine?”
“I forgot,” Cheng Yue said, trying to avoid Ji Xu’s attempt to apply the medicine while keeping his eyes glued to the computer.
“Don’t move,” Ji Xu slapped his butt, picked him up, and pressed him onto the desk, pulling up his shirt.
“By the way, Ji Xu…” Tang Jing had just opened the door and stopped midway upon seeing the scene.
Cheng Yue: “…”
“Sorry, wrong room,” Tang Jing said quickly, closing the door and backing out, his facial expression moving in slow waves due to the rapid exit.
After Ji Xu finished applying the medicine, he took Cheng Yue to the car, preparing to go home.
Once Cheng Yue got into the car, he was in good spirits, shifting around in his seat. His eyes accidentally glanced at the back seat.
A disorganized stack of documents in the back seat caught Cheng Yue’s attention. Ji Xu’s things were usually neat and orderly. Cheng Yue furrowed his brows, turned around to pick up the documents, and asked, “What’s this?”
Ji Xu glanced at the back through the rearview mirror. The scattered papers were documents he had hurriedly thrown there last night.
The documents were the files for terminating the adoption relationship, which Tang Jing had expedited for him a couple of days ago.
Before Ji Xu could say anything, Cheng Yue stopped moving after seeing the documents clearly.
Looking at the simple documents, Cheng Yue’s eyes started to well up, “What does this… mean?”
Ji Xu took his trembling hand and explained softly, “This is part of my answer.”
“I know…” Cheng Yue looked up at him, “I mean, when did you do this?”
Ji Xu sighed, “I wanted to do it a long time ago. I had the intention early on, but at first, I thought you were too young, so I didn’t do it. Later, because you were still too young, it became something I didn’t dare to do… Do you understand what I mean?”
Cheng Yue understood Ji Xu’s meaning, but his eyes grew even more teary. He knew Ji Xu must have thought about more things than he did, but he didn’t realize Ji Xu could also be scared and anxious.
But Ji Xu had never told him this before.
“I spoke too slowly,” Ji Xu said, seeing Cheng Yue’s silence. He squeezed Cheng Yue’s palm and softened his tone, “I apologize.”
“You’re so kind…” Cheng Yue threw himself at Ji Xu, burying his face in Ji Xu’s shoulder and taking a deep breath.
“You’re great too,” Ji Xu said with a light smile.
“Are we just boosting each other’s ego?” Cheng Yue asked with a laugh.
“Not at all,” Ji Xu replied seriously, “I’m completely sincere.”
“So am I,” Cheng Yue sighed, “In the future, if I make mistakes, you can scold me or even hit me, but don’t ignore me like you’ve been doing these days…”
Ji Xu chuckled softly at Cheng Yue’s words, his heart aching as he remembered that night Cheng Yue had been crying alone in his room. “I’m sorry.”
Cheng Yue, showing extraordinary magnanimity, patted Ji Xu’s back in comfort. “It’s alright. I’ve forgiven you.”
Ji Xu: “…”
When they got home, Cheng Yue had barely touched the sofa before Ji Xu slapped his arm.
“Take off your pants. They’re dirty.” Ji Xu bent down and folded the small blanket that had been thrown around on the sofa.
“Help me take them off,” Cheng Yue said lazily, not wanting to move.
“Raise your arm. Let me see your armpit,” Ji Xu said suddenly.
“Huh?” Cheng Yue didn’t understand but obediently lifted his arm.
“You have arms?” Ji Xu looked at him. “I thought you didn’t have any.”
Cheng Yue: “…”
Ji Xu was playing a game with him, and Cheng Yue felt increasingly frustrated. Wasn’t this what happens when you don’t cherish something you already have?
“Come here,” Ji Xu said, seeing Cheng Yue’s unmasked grievance. He knew exactly what Cheng Yue was thinking.
“What’s up…” Cheng Yue, with his hand already on his pants zipper, looked up at him.
“I’ll help you take them off,” Ji Xu said as he bent down to help remove Cheng Yue’s pants.
“Hey!” Cheng Yue didn’t react in time.
One minute later, Cheng Yue was kneeling on the sofa, looking at his bare thighs and half-exposed rear with an almost tearful expression.
Pervert!
Cheng Yue cursed Ji Xu in his heart as Ji Xu carried him to the bathroom.
After the shower, as Cheng Yue lay in bed, he couldn’t help but curse Ji Xu even more while touching his slightly swollen rear.
The next morning, after Ji Xu dropped Cheng Yue off at school, they had a tender moment in the car. In the end, Cheng Yue almost had his pants taken off again, and he jumped out of the car with a red face.
As Cheng Yue walked away from the car, he cursed both the pervert and himself for not being able to control the impulse to snuggle and kiss Ji Xu.
Yes, he initiated the contact, but Ji Xu shouldn’t be removing his pants…
Cheng Yue nervously adjusted his pants. His only experience with two men came from a film he watched back in the U.S. and a video he accidentally clicked on Ji Xu’s computer.
Neither of the videos had been watched to the end, so he was missing the crucial details.
But Cheng Yue could guess how two men might act together.
However…
Cheng Yue thought about how he had been forced to hold onto Ji Xu’s “thing” in Ji Xu’s office yesterday and felt uneasy.
He was sensitive to pain…
Before entering the school gate with his backpack, Cheng Yue sighed, wondering if Ji Xu couldn’t make it a little smaller.
Or maybe it would be better if he switched places.
He thought this matter… might be negotiable.
When Ji Xu received a call from Cheng Yue’s homeroom teacher, Mr. Chen, he had just arrived at the school gate to pick Cheng Yue up.
After answering the call, Ji Xu hadn’t had a chance to speak before a sigh came from the other end.
“Mr. Chen?” Ji Xu asked, puzzled.
“Mr. Ji, have you been keeping track of Cheng Yue’s grades recently?” Mr. Chen’s tone became serious.
“The results from the last exam are out. Cheng Yue’s overall ranking dropped by over a hundred places, from the top 20 in the class to over 30, failing English and missing the math exam. I don’t know what happened with Cheng Yue with only two months left before the college entrance exams, but I hope you, as a parent, will take it seriously.”
Ji Xu was taken aback by the grades and then recalled Cheng Yue’s situation during this time. He could understand the poor performance, but missing the math exam?
Ji Xu furrowed his brow and spoke with Mr. Chen for a few more minutes.
Mr. Chen even scolded him, and Ji Xu repeatedly assured him before Mr. Chen seemed to relax.
After hanging up, Ji Xu looked up just in time to see Cheng Yue emerging from the school gate, laughing brightly with a group of boys, their arms draped over Cheng Yue’s shoulders and waist.
Youth was wonderful.
Ji Xu lit a cigarette, and as he exhaled the first puff of smoke, he watched Cheng Yue approach with a smile from the haze.
Youth should be full of excitement; they’ll settle down eventually.

Ji Xu: I still don’t have enough skirts.
