Chi Xingyu’s body froze for a moment; the hand he had intended to release suddenly tightened. He suspected he had misheard, or else how could he have heard such words?
He quickly glanced at the boy in his arms.
Tong Sui’s eyelashes were still wet with tears, and the tears on his face glimmered from the kiss.
Just that one glance melted Chi Xingyu’s heart.
“Baby, what did you say?”
“I said I only want you,” Tong Sui paused, his voice suddenly became very soft as he whispered, “Chi Xingyu, you go take a shower.”
Chi Xingyu’s heart raced like a drum, his feelings surging like a roller coaster, leaving him unbothered by any pretenses.
He asked, “Why do I need to take a shower? Are you willing to go all the way with me?”
This straightforward question made Tong Sui’s face flush instantly. He averted his gaze, his damp eyelashes hanging down, looking even more fragile and beautiful, replying in a barely audible voice.
Chi Xingyu’s head spun completely; he couldn’t even remember how he walked into the bathroom. Only after being splashed with cold water did he feel slightly more awake.
Although it was cold water, his skin blushed with a pink hue from nervousness, especially his face, which turned red to the tips of his ears, and his gaze lost its focus.
Despite the tension, Chi Xingyu’s speed in showering was unwavering, constantly listening for sounds outside, worried that Tong Sui might escape.
Tong Sui sat curled up in the gaming chair.
Although it wasn’t his first time experiencing something like this, he couldn’t help but feel nervous, even regretting agreeing to Chi Xingyu so quickly.
He could have gotten away with it.
After all, as long as Chi Xingyu saw him cry, he became completely soft-hearted, only focused on comforting him, not daring to make any further requests.
The system observed his mood and commented: [He hasn’t come out yet; you still have a chance to slip away.]
Tong Sui gasped softly.
He thought it wouldn’t be good…
If he backed out after agreeing, Chi Xingyu might get upset.
System: [18-year-old brothers are full of energy.]
Just that one sentence slightly broke Tong Sui’s defenses; yes, he felt a little scared.
Tong Sui stood up and casually tucked his phone into his pocket.
Maybe he should go outside and avoid it for a while.
Anyway, Chi Xingyu wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, even if he was angry.
Just as he reached the door, the bathroom door suddenly swung open, and Tong Sui froze at the doorknob, hearing Chi Xingyu’s voice from behind, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to get some water, haha.”
Tong Sui forced a laugh as he turned around, only to find Chi Xingyu was not wearing any clothes, with a white towel loosely wrapped around his waist, steam clinging to him. His abs were glistening with water droplets, perfectly defined.
Not only did it look good, but Tong Sui remembered the sensation; it felt great too.
Chi Xingyu walked over with a unique aura, his black hair slicked back, revealing his sharp, handsome face, and his eyes held a deep desire as he said in a low voice, “I thought baby wanted to run away.”
Tong Sui’s heart raced. “How could that be?”
“Hmm,” Chi Xingyu reached out and pulled Tong Sui’s hand away from the door. “You wait inside; I’ll get some water.”
Tong Sui had no choice but to obey and sat patiently in the room. After a while, Chi Xingyu came in holding a cup of water.
“Thank you.”
Tong Sui took a sip; it was warm and thoughtful of him.
Chi Xingyu stared at Tong Sui drinking water, his gaze intense to the point that it was hard to ignore.
Tinged with a glossy layer of water, Tong Sui pretended to drink more but only took a small sip before stopping.
This made Chi Xingyu feel increasingly anxious as he saw Tong Sui’s lips glistening.
Tong Sui returned the cup to him.
Once Chi Xingyu accepted it, he downed the remaining water in one go.
Tong Sui: “……”
“Are you going to shower?” Chi Xingyu asked.
With his urging, Tong Sui could no longer pretend to be clueless; he grabbed his clothes and obediently headed for the shower.
Normally, Tong Sui took a reasonable amount of time in the shower, but this time he dawdled, as if he wanted to soak in the bathtub for hours before emerging.
At first, Chi Xingyu was patient, but as the waiting dragged on, he became increasingly restless, finally knocking on the door, “Xiao Sui, how much longer?”
Through the door, Tong Sui’s muffled voice replied.
“I’m almost done.”
Though he said he was almost done, Tong Sui actually took another ten minutes, lazily drying off and meticulously getting dressed.
Only then did he open the door.
The steam rushed out, and his foot bumped into something unclear by the door.
Tong Sui looked down and saw Chi Xingyu squatting at the door like a large guard dog.
“……”
He didn’t wait there the whole time, did he?
Although Tong Sui intended to sneak away while he showered, he was already in the bathroom. Even if he had wings, he couldn’t fly out.
Chi Xingyu was just too excited and wanted to stay close.
Seeing Tong Sui emerge, he couldn’t wait to stand up, nearly bumping into Tong Sui’s nose. He quickly wrapped his arms around his waist, pressing his body up against him.
Wearing only a loosely tied towel, Chi Xingyu brushed against Tong Sui’s damp hair, murmuring, “Baby, you smell so good.”
“What did you use? How can you smell so good?”
Tong Sui was speechless; they used the same body wash. How could Chi Xingyu insist it was different? He was definitely just a bit more fragrant.
Chi Xingyu initially held back, only nuzzling at Tong Sui’s neck, but soon his actions changed, his soft lips trailing over his skin instead.
Tong Sui’s skin was already thin and tender from the hot water in the shower; now, it was rosy and soft.
At that moment, when Chi Xingyu touched his neck, Tong Sui trembled, pushing him away with his hands. However, instead of pushing him away, he was grabbed by the hand and pulled closer to him.
