The morning breeze ruffled the curtains, and a ray of sunlight poured into the room through the cracks in the curtains.
When Lu Bai opened his eyes, he met the youthâs eyes that looked exceptionally transparent and gentle under the light, and he subconsciously revealed a soft smile to the other.
The crystal vase on the bedside was decorated with a bouquet of roses in full bloom. At that moment, a single delicate petal fell away from the bloom and ultimately fluttered around and settled on the young manâs red and slightly swollen lips.
âWu, ticklesâŠâ Lu Bai mumbled and was about to brush away the petal.
Qu Xueyu looked at the red petal compared to the teenagerâs lips with a darker glint in his eyes, âDonât move.â He held the teenagerâs hand, and then moved closer to his face, saying, âIâll help you get rid of it.â His voice was low and husky.

While he said that, Qu Xueyu only kissed the younger manâs lips through the soft petal. From the edge of the lips to the center, until he finally made it to the young manâs mouth.
âWuâŠâ Lu Baiâs body subconsciously catered to the otherâs movements and even took the initiative by opening his mouth wider to let the other party do as he pleased. The slightly bitter taste and light fragrance of the rose petal, together with the young manâs tongue in his mouth, slowly spread through him. It made Lu Bai feel as if he was in a safe and secure houseboat1A houseboat is as it sounds, a simple building on a slightly larger floating base located in a body of water. It can be as different in size as any land-dwelling, from a small apartment to a 2 or 3-bedroom single-story. They are different from floating houses in that they do not have any connections to city power or utilities and are completely self-contained with solar panels and generators., where the young man was the only support heâd ever need.
After the kiss, Lu Bai stayed wrapped around the neck of the youth and snuggled in the youthâs bosom, panting slightly. His lips were gently parted, showing his white and beautiful teeth, and the edges of his lips were tinged red with a little bit of rose juice. Without realizing it, he is currently making himself a tempting figure to kiss.
Qu Xueyuâs eyes were dark, but he only gently kissed once again on the otherâs lips once, sipping off that flower juice.

Lu Bai comfortably squinted, lazily enjoying the warmth. After a heated session, he exclaimed, âXiao Qu, Iâm hungry.â
Qu Xueyu brushed the teenagerâs hair out of his face with a smile, and there was a playful tone in his words, âDo you want to eat an orange? Hm, a navel orange?â
Recalling some things, Lu Baiâs cheeks reddened a little, he coughed and muttered, âFor now, no.â He then looked into the youthâs eyes-obviously shy, but he still chose to look straight into the otherâs eyes: âIt still hurts a bit. We can only eat again after it doesnât hurt.â
Qu Xueyu felt that such a young man was too cute to be true. He wrapped his hand over the young manâs waist and kneaded it, chuckling, and asked, âRabbit apples?â
Lu Baiâs eyes lit up, âWant to eat.â

Qu Xueyu then resigned himself to getting up and was about to put on clothes and prepare breakfast and rabbit apples when he saw that the other was now sitting up as well.
With his movement, the soft white quilt had slipped down around the young manâs waist. He was still wearing Qu Xueyuâs shirt. However, he had not fastened the buttons and his bare front was left exposed. The chest was covered with hickeys, and some of them appeared a little painful, as can be seen by Qu Xueyuâs roving eyes.
Qu Xueyuâs hand stretched out to cover the back of the teenagerâs neck and pulled the teenager into his arms, his other hand then gently touched the teenagerâs collarbone, his thumb ambiguously brushing over the traces on it.
Lu Bai felt a little prickle of pain and pleasant tingles, some of his memories from last night came back. His breathing faltered for a moment, and his toes, which were hidden under the quilt, unconsciously curled up, while his body welcomed the young manâs touch and behavior almost instinctively.
âYouâre responsible for what you have left here.â Lu Bai said, âAnd youâre now my boyfriend again. So you absolutely, positively, canât be too far away from me.â
Qu Xueyu let out a low chuckle as he hugged the young man into his arms, his fingers stroking back a strand of the young manâs soft black hair as he earnestly said, âOkay.â
Lu Bai then revealed a satisfied smile, before immediately pushing the youth away and cheerfully planting a kiss on the other manâs cheek.

Qu Xueyu was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, Lu Bai was sitting at the kitchen table, occasionally eating a slice of rabbit apple. He was still wearing that white shirt that was a bit big for him. It was buttoned up crookedly, and he was wearing a pair of Qu Xueyuâs black sweatpants, his pale feet were hidden in the overly long pant legs, with his toes peeking out from underneath.
Dingggg-donggg.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Lu Bai was startled, glancing at the youth who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen and apparently didnât hear the ringing, simply stood up and padded over to the front door on his own, barefoot.
As soon as the door opened, there was a loud voice ringing into his ears.
âXueyu! Director Zhouâs movie is about to start. Pack up and say goodbye to your young master and weâll then head for the setâŠâ
Before he could finish his sentence, Bo Yangzhi completely froze.
His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Bai, his mouth in the shape of an âOâ, a look of excessive shock that could not be hidden.
There was something in his head that was frantically swiping the screen.
âFuck2Cantonese slang for âfuckâ is the Japanese âæ„â. It translates to just âdayâ and took me a bit of internet sleuthing to figure out. Thankfully I stumbled across a helpful Reddit post I will link below. For an American context, Bo Yangzhi is swearing in Mexican in his mind. https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseLanguage/comments/8zjdcq/what_are_the_swear_words_in_chinese/! Xueyu, what did you do to the young master of the Lu family??! Look at all those hickeys on his neck, theyâre almost bleeding, and youâre making him wear your shirt⊠and even after all this, youâre still allowing him to open the doorâŠ?â
âFuck! If Elder Qu doesnât try to kill me, then Iâll be quietly silenced by the Lu family.â
âBeing an agent is just⊠too⊠difficult! So difficult!â

Authorâs Note: Iâm sorry, todayâs post is a bit short, Iâm just a bit tired because of work. However, this story is now about halfway through, so I should be able to wrap up soon, the author needs the companionship of angels3Author is referring to her readers who comment and support her work as angels, not religious to have the power to write on, oh~!
Shio: So once again, I havenât found an actual innuendo about Navel Oranges = Horizontal Tango, I now believe this is just an inside joke between our two characters.
Also, I went on a fun journey to find that last swear that BYZ says in his head. I went to all of the usual translation resources and couldnât find it, but I knew that he couldnât be using the word âdayâ as a swear. Finally, I stumbled on this Reddit post , It is unverified as itâs just a bunch of random people saying what they think is true, but for slang/swears⊠isnât that what they are? It is a very interesting post, if you have an interest in foreign swears give it a gander!
