With a warm body temperature, it climbed up like a jellyfish without bones.
Chi Xingyu took a deep breath, yet he could smell the lingering fragrance that Tong Sui naturally possessed, even in his breath.
All of this stirred his already fragile nerves in a clumsy dance on the edge of rationality’s collapse.
At that moment, Tong Sui kept twisting around, and with each of his movements, the hem of his pants rolled up again, revealing pale and rosy knees that were perfectly rounded.
The veins on Chi Xingyu’s forehead twitched, and he gripped Tong Sui’s waist tightly.
“Stop moving.”
With an innocent look, Tong Sui replied, “It’s uncomfortable sitting like this.”
Chi Xingyu’s hot palm pressed against his knee as he gritted his teeth, “If it’s uncomfortable, then hold it in.”
Chi Xingyu’s body was rigid, so much so that even sitting was somewhat painful, yet he stubbornly held him down and growled a warning not to move.
How could there be such an unreasonable person?
It wasn’t like he wanted to sit up like this, Tong Sui pouted, “Then I want to get down.”
As he spoke, he released the arms he had wrapped around Chi Xingyu.
It was as if he had received a signal; Chi Xingyu’s arm forcefully pushed Tong Sui deeper into his embrace. The other hand tightly wrapped around his waist. “You come when you want and leave when you want. What do you think I am?”
Tong Sui grabbed his tie in a panic, yanking it until it was almost completely undone, making Chi Xingyu look even more like a bully.
He seemed like the type to corner someone in the restroom or force someone to stay after school for extra lessons with bad intentions.
Tong Sui’s slender frame, which could be considered delicate among boys, seemed even more insignificant before Chi Xingyu. With one hand, he could easily hold him.
Fortunately, he knew where his advantages lay, softly saying, “You scared me first.”
Chi Xingyu couldn’t actually be angry at Tong Sui. With that one complaint, he completely forgot where his bottom line was, loosening his grip a little. “Move.”
Tong Sui let out a soft sound, like a little cat, and wiggled in his arms, finally finding a comfortable position to squint his eyes.
Chi Xingyu’s bones were tough, but even through the fabric, he could feel the nicely built muscles in his legs; running a few kilometers was definitely not a problem.
Satisfied, Tong Sui circled his arms around the back of Chi Xingyu’s neck and looked up, “Let’s stay like this.”
He noticed that Chi Xingyu’s expression was even more unpleasant than before, his lips pressed into a straight line, and a thin sheen of sweat beaded at his forehead.
“Are you very hot?”
Tong Sui lifted his hand and wiped a bead of sweat with his fingertip, bringing it to Chi Xingyu’s eyes, “Look, you’re sweating a lot.”
His fair fingertips glistened with moisture, and this ambiguous little action always felt smooth and natural for Tong Sui as if he had done it many times.
Not only did it not feel offensive, but it also created a feeling of ethereal lightness.
Chi Xingyu looked at those fair fingers, his molars grinding together, an inexplicable urge to lean in and taste them rising within him.
Tong Sui asked, “Am I too heavy for you?”
Tong Sui was certainly tall for a typical boy, yet his small frame and the little bit of weight he had were perfectly distributed.
He didn’t feel heavy at all.
Chi Xingyu could probably lift him with one hand.
The cameraman silently stood by, having taken enough candid shots before speaking up for them to pose for a few designated actions.
“Xiao Sui, lean in a bit closer and press your head against his neck.”
Tong Sui obediently responded, clumsily adjusting his position, trying to straighten his back to move forward. The fluffy tips of his hair brushed against Chi Xingyu’s chin like a feather lightly scratching, and Chi Xingyu felt a surge of itch rising in his heart.
He couldn’t help but swallow hard, yet it didn’t ease any of his restlessness.
His expression tightened further.
As a flurry of high-frequency flashes occurred, Tong Sui’s eyes felt a bit sore from the brightness, and moisture gathered in his gaze, subconsciously leaning closer to Chi Xingyu’s neck to block some of the light.
“Okay!” the cameraman exclaimed excitedly, “This set of pictures is sure to sell out!”
Only then did Tong Sui dare to lower his head and rub his eyes. He tried to rise from Chi Xingyu, only to find the hand at his waist gripping him with surprising strength.
He simply couldn’t break free.
“Chi Xingyu, let go.”
Chi Xingyu seemed to awaken from a dream when Tong Sui called his name, glancing down at Tong Sui’s rabbit-like reddened eyes and swallowed hard, “What’s up?”
“I want to get down.”
He had practically been sitting on Chi Xingyu long enough for his bottom to go numb.
Only then did Chi Xingyu grumble an acknowledgment, seemingly reluctant to let go.
His gaze remained glued to him.
When the weight left his body, a sense of indescribable loss surged within him, leaving only a faint sweetness for him to savor.
The comments had already gone wild during the group photo session.
Unfortunately, the production team either didn’t want to reveal the material to protect it or deliberately kept them in suspense, the scene barely visible from a hazy distance.
— I’m dying of anxiety. What’s up with the clarity that I, as a VIP, don’t get to see?
— This CP fan is ecstatic!
— All support indicates total satisfaction, hehe.
— Every single frame of this is worth savoring repeatedly. I suspect if Chi Shen flirts with the naturally cute Xiao Sui a little more, he’ll raise the flag.
— Sui Bao really knows how to flirt. Being shy while flirting is just too excessive!
After taking photos, Tong Sui returned to the fitting room to change back into his own clothes and noticed a new message on the phones the production team had given them not long ago.
After receiving the photos, the advertisers quickly paid Tong Sui’s compensation.
“Ding.”
Tong Sui saw a new payment notification on his phone; he received a whole two hundred thousand, which was much more than he had expected.
The fatigue from the earlier shoot vanished in an instant.
