************\nOne day before the New Year festival, Xia Yao took a day off to film for the propaganda program with Yuan Zong and other members of the company.\nBecause of the demanding requirements for each scenes of the director, and the unprofessional acting skills of the bodyguards, each scenes had to be filmed several times. Initially, Xia Yao was excited to help the director, but later he became impatient and found a quiet place to relax and smoke, looking particularly weary.\nYuan Zong went a to find Xia Yao, seeing his mournful face, he asked, "What's wrong?"\nXia Yao reached his arm around Yuan Zong's neck, leaning into his shoulder, and replied with an exhausted tone, "Tired."\n"If you're tired then go and take a nap in the car, I'll take you home at lunch after the work here is done. Don't come back in the afternoon."\nUpon hearing the three words: "don't come back", Xia Yao immediately said, "My body is not tired, but my heart is."\nYuan Zong gave him an askance look, teasing, "Oh you have a heart?"\n"Hah! How can I not?" Xia Yao put effort into pinching Yuan Zong's rock hard cheek, "I have a lot on my mind from morning till night!"\nYuan Zong picked Xia Yao's fingers off, warning lowly, "Be careful with those paws, there are many people who can see over there." Xia Yao smiled happily. Oh? Are you scared they'll look? Scared it will affect your stoic, hardened soldier look, destroying your image in people's minds? Then I will pinch, pinch pinch...piiiinch. After having his face "trampled on" in front of everybody, Yuan Zong grabbed Xia Yao's hand and gave him a dark glare.\n\n"If this evilness continues, do you believe I will smack your bottom?"\nXia Yao harrumphed, then leaned back onto Yuan Zong's shoulder, sighing.\n"I've done something bad that has been keeping me on edge for the past few days."\nYuan Zong lit a cigarette, smoking and watching the filming process far away, waiting for Xia Yao to tell the whole story.\nXia Yao debated for a second then told Yuan Zong all about Wang Zhi Shui's problems after exiting jail. He then took a deep sigh and said how regretful he felt to have handed Wang Zhi Shui over to Xuan Da Yu.\nAfter listening to the entire story, Yuan Zong asked, "Why are you so interested in other people's business?"\nXia Yao glanced at Yuan Zong, glanced at his cold stoic face, and mentally laughed. Surprise, surprise, this old man likes to eat vinegar. (Be jealous)\nIf Yuan Zong knew that Xia Yao was calling him an "old man", he would no doubt throw Xia Yao onto the bed and show him exactly how strong and powerful he really is!\nXia Yao continued, "Truthfully, I don't particularly care about Xuan Da Yu's weird obsession with Wang Zhi Shui, I just don't think the problem was solved in an ethical way. You know, I've always thought that Wang Zhi Shui's a bastard, thinking he's the arrogant, playboy type. But I discovered few days ago that he actually had a job, a laborious one in fact, he only quit before entering jail. Haizz, my head is in a mess right now."\nYuan Zong shrugged nonchalantly, "People always have two sides. He may be unlucky but that doesn't mean he's totally innocent of his crimes."\nXia Yao thought these words were quite true, either way Wang Zhi Shui has committed many faults, so him getting punished is the right thing, but Xia Yao had an uncomfortable feeling.\n"Am I too weird?" Xia Yao asked, "should I be more knowledgeable about life?"\nYuan Zong said, "Smart people advance faster than the average person, but the higher you go the harder you fall."\nXia Yao, upon hearing that, felt some weight lifted off his chest. His cheeky wandering eyes then found themselves glancing down Yuan Zong's wide opened shirt pocket, inside were a lot of change money. Xia Yao shot sparks through his eyes, his whole life has been so deprived of money. If inside Yuan Zong's pocket were large bills, he would have hesitated, but they're only change, he had no reason to hold back.\nXia Yao's paws sneakily reached out from behind Yuan Zong's back, heading straight for his left pocket.\nBut who is Yuan Zong? Someone who can perform magic with his eyes closed, so can Xia Yao's little trick get pass him? Keep dreaming!\nXia Yao's fingers were just about to touch his shirt when Yuan Zong grabbed it in mid air.\n"What do you want?"\nXia Yao pulled a face, "Please give me some spare money."\n"For you to buy rubbish junk food?"\nXia Yao puckered his lips, "Not rubbish food, tasty food."\n"Who are you trying to fool?" Yuan Zong grumbled darkly, "Last time, who took few dozen yuan from my cupboard to buy a pile of junk? I only had one taste, the rest I immediately threw away. What's good about these unhealthy food."\n"Whatever!" Xia Yao went red with anger, "In your eyes, the only delicious dish is onions dipped in sauce!"\nYuan Zong gave him a cold shoulder.\nBut Xia Yao didn't stop there, he persisted to make excuses.\n"Do you know, I was brought up in a very strict household, that's why I never got to taste junk food, that's why I'm addicted to it now. Being forbidden will create the opposite effect, only total satisfaction will cure this thirst and bring on junk food boredom."\n\nDid Yuan Zong really listen to these words? He wholeheartedly pretended not to notice.\nXia Yao said, "You have no taste buds at all."\n"Then let me lick you." Yuan Zong joked.\nI don't need you to do that, I can do it myself. Taking advantage of nobody being around, Xia Yao gave Yuan Zong a kiss. Then in the mist of Yuan Zong's surprise, he snatched a handful of change and stuffed it into his own pocket.\nRaising his brows up and down, Xia Yao smiled satisfyingly, and coolly made a dash for a nearby shop.\nAfter Xia Yao left, Yuan Zong went to a grocery store and used one yuan to buy a bottle of mineral water. He then put the rest of the new change money into his pocket. \n#BONUS-SUGAR: Feng Ge once told fans that JunJun is a lot like Xia Yao because he also loves junk food. During their filming period, JunJun brought a ton of sweets to the set to eat. Feng Ge also reminded the fan to remember to buy JunJun some food when they go visit him.\n* * *\nFrom the day Xia Yao stole Yuan Zong from the dinner table, Yuan Ru fell into a chaotic state for days.\nToday Wang Shuang received a phone call. The instant she hung up she immediately went to find Yuan Ru.\n"Guess what, I just heard an earth-shattering news about your brother."\nYuan Ru sighed in irritation, "What's up?"\n"I have this friend who has seen your brother's picture once, she's the one who was supposed to interview him. She can remember his face very well. So today, when she was on the streets, she saw your brother kissing a man. I asked her what did that other guy look like, but she couldn't see his features clearly. She was too shocked and had to call me straight away"\nYuan Ru made a flabbergasted face, but immediately used a firm voice, "Not possible, my brother is not that type of person, he's a real man, how can he..."\n"I thought the same, but my friend said she even saw the company's logo, they were filming."\nYuan Ru's heart was going to drop out of her chest. Yuan Zong's company has been busy preparing for that TV program, she knows it deep down.\n"Still, it can't be my brother." Yuan Ru outright denied all proofs, only believing in her own senses, (Yo senses definately failing you, girl :) ) "When kissing, only half of one's face is revealed, moreover, there are countless of huge men in the company, your friend may very well have seen the wrong person."\nWang Shuang shook her head, "You know, when she said that, my head almost exploded. He's my idol, the only idol I have followed all these years, please don't let this be real!"\nYuan Ru held Wang Shuang's hands in consolidation, "Don't worry, it can't be true."\n"Uhm, uhm." Wang Shuang nodded but couldn't help adding, "That night when we ate together, when Xia Yao pulled Yuan Zong away, didn't he say something like "he's mine", have you asked your brother about that? What really happened?"\nThis had been a big road bump for Yuan Ru these past few days, she has replayed that scene countless times in her mind, considering the reasons, digging for its hidden meanings! When she finally came to a clue, her wound immediately bled a river, so much so that she had to lock the clues up. She didn't have enough courage to continue thinking.\n"That night there were some troubles at the company so Xia Yao had to get my brother, he must have said "He's coming with me", we probably just misheard them."\n\nWang Shuang let or a sigh of relief, "So that's what happened, I actually thought those two... Tsk, it's nothing."\n* * *\nThe last day of the year, when the clock strikes twelve it will be a new year. Xia Yao didn't want to leave his mother alone at home on newyears eve so he obediently returned home. However, he couldn't resist temptation, and so he called Yuan Zong to seduce him to come over. (Where is my innocent Xia Yao? T_T)\nXia Yao breathlessly ripped off Yuan Zong's clothes, wearing an urgent expression while doing it, like he's been starving for days. In reality, just yesterday he was saying in an unstable voice, "We're never doing this again, my body can't handle it."\nIn a flash, two bodies were wrapped around one another in bed, enjoying the feeling of sneaking around.\nXia Yao pressed Yuan Zong's head down then arched his chest up to force his hard red peas into Yuan Zong's mouth.\n"Lick it."\nYuan Zong flicked his tongue back and forth, his teeth lightly biting, torturing this sensitive spot.\nXia Yao's hand grabbed Yuan Zong's hair, his throat letting out a suppressed moan, his waist wiggled towards Yuan Zong's crotch. Under their weight, the bed produced creeking noises.\nYuan Zong intentionally covered Xia Yao's mouth, leaned into his ear, teasing, "keep it down, your mother hasn't slept yet."\nXia Yao's embarrassment was such that his face redden exponentially, he secretly kicked that place of Yuan Zong's. Who's making noises? Not me! I'm obviously the strong silent type.\nBut when he saw Yuan Zong still gazing at him, he had to deal with this emergency.\n"It's alright, my mother always knocks before entering."\nThe hidden meaning? Let's play all out, no worries.\nXia Yao's legs were rubbing fire onto Yuan Zong. One hand Yuan Zong used to flip Xia Yao over, the other was made into a cushion for Xia Yao's stomach, also forcing his butt to perk up. Yuan Zong aggressively set his teeth upon those soft mounds.\n"Ahhh... Don't..."\nXia Yao was scared to moan out loud for fear of Yuan Zong, but he really couldn't hold it in, the only solution was to bury his head into the pillow. His hands jerked the bed cover, intense sensations mixed with guilty pleasures engulfed his senses. Tears filled his eyes, while his shaking buttocks consequently tried to escape Yuan Zong's touch, his whole body was going crazy.\nThe more Xia Yao did that, the more Yuan Zong become engrossed.\n"Ey? Why... Why are you home?" Outside, Mrs Xia suddenly spoke up.\nXia Yao instantly became stressed. Who's mum talking to?\nMrs Xia then said, "Didn't you say you're not coming home? Why did you return so late? You really scared me."\nAn upright man's voice rang out, "Because I wanted to bring you a big surprise."\nXia Yao literary froze on the spot. Oh shit, father's home!\n"Where's our son?"\n"Asleep, don't disturb him."\nXia Yao knew his father better than anyone else: he never knocks before entering. And so Xia Yao silently prayed that mother's words would persuade him.\n"Just one look."\nThen the bedroom door was opened...\nIn that single second, words were too late to be said, Yuan Zong was butt naked, even if he used his superhuman speed to jump out the window, Xia Yao can't let him stroll the streets in this type of condition.\nWhat to do?\nIn that life-threatening moment, Xia Yao covered Yuan Zong with the blanket.\nThe light was turned on by Mr Xia and underneath it's glistening shine, Xia Yao laid naked, hand in between his legs, wearing a "focused" masturbating face.\nThen his eyes meet Mr Xia, and his expression changed to an embarrassed, guilty one.\nIn his shock, Mr Xia rapidly shut the door.\nPaying no attention to the other human frame in bed, or just because he couldn't look anymore. He mentally cursed... Such embarrassment.\nXia Yao tried to catch his breaths, his father was gone but his heart persisted to beat loudly.\nHe used the pillows to hit Yuan Zong, then buried his head in between them.\n"Ah ah ah... How am I supposed to face my father now?"\n*************\nMy thanks to everyone who has (once again) silently endured the long wait for a new chapter ❣️❣️❣️😘.
