They met with Li Yuan on the evening of the fourth day. The setting was a famous restaurant in Zhangcheng, because of its reputation, there were many guests. When Xia Xi and Cai Huan sneaked out, the sky was already dark and lanterns on the street sides were lit; red, white and yellow, the street was illuminated as brightly as daytime.
Cai Huan hiccuped in an ungraceful manner, she touched her stomach once again and exclaimed: "The dishes there were so delicious, I haven't eaten anything that delicious for years now. Brother Li Yuan's as generous as ever."
Xia Xi didn't eat much of the food, but he didn't feel hungry either. He smiled lightly, "It's good that you liked it."
Seeing his expression, Cai Huan knew what he was thinking about and asked in a low voice, "Are you still worried our meeting would be discovered? There were so many people, lots of them, plus we didn't do anything, just reminisced. It's just a meal, even if the King knows about it, he won't say anything bad."
The place where they were arranged was indeed inside the lobby, they weren't concealed from the people coming and going at all. Xia Xi dressed up as a young man, even if he did look a bit familiar, they couldn't find fault in him. Xia Xi's expression didn't relax, he only gave a soft "um". The two of them arrived at the inn where they were staying, Xia Xi saw a guard dressed as a merchant sitting in the corner and knew that Chu Lan had already come back from his outing. His steps paused, and after taking a deep breath, he continued upstairs.
It was given that he and Chu Lan occupied the best room in the inn, it was located on the south side of the second floor. Xia Xi walked to the door of their room and reached out to knock on it, after not hearing any response, he pushed it open. The scenery inside was laid bare the moment the door was opened; the candles were already lit, but no one could be seen at first glance. Only a shadow was reflected behind the screens, a figure bathing. Xia Xi closed the door and walked over, bypassing the screen, he was greeted by the scene of Chu Lan taking a bath.
The large wooden barrel was filled with hot water, Chu Lan was sitting inside the barrel. The hot water covered half of his chest and exposed his upper body. His crown had been removed and his slender braids were scattered, soaked damp in water. Chu Lan had a dark complexion, the complexion of the Barbarians was originally bronzer. When Chu Lan was young, he still looked quite white, now that he had grown up, he started spending a lot of time outdoors, and his complexion began getting darker and darker. His skin had become wheat coloured, even his normally covered chest was wheat coloured.
Chu Lan exercised all year round, so his body was flawless. His shoulders were getting wider, his chest muscles were tight, and the lines of his arms were smooth. At the moment, those two arms were perched on the edge of the bathtub, his eyes were half-closed and he leaned against the side of the bathtub. He only opened his eyes after hearing the sound of Xia Xi's footsteps, looking at him with a slightly lazy gaze. This one look made Xia Xi's courage shrink; his back stiffened.
The young man's handsome facial features soon morphed into a smile, his tone sounded brisk, without the slightest sign of unpleasantness, "You're back?"
Xia Xi walked over slowly and sat by the bathtub, he picked up a bath towel hung by the tub and started to wipe Chu Lan's body. He asked softly: "Why didn't you wait for me to come back and help you wash?"
Chu Lan moved his body so that Xia Xi could wipe his back for him, "I was sweaty and felt uncomfortable, so I washed first. Besides, how could I know when you'll come back?" He no longer had a smile as he said the last sentence. He turned around and looked at Xia Xi again. His sight wasn't coercive, but the words he uttered were enough to make Xia Xi feel a sense of panic, "How was it? Was it pleasant chatting with the City General?"
Xia Xi paused. In fact, since the beginning, he knew that his actions couldn't be hidden from Chu Lan, but he still didn't try to obtain the consent of the other party in advance. Xia Xi couldn't measure how angry Chu Lan really was and became more nervous, he explained helplessly: "Cai Huan and I just shared a meal with him. I made sure to go to places with a lot of people—"
Chu Lan's expression didn't change, but his tone wasn't as serious, "What does he look like? How old is he?"
Xia Xi didn't believe that Chu Lan's men didn't tell him those details. Although he didn't understand why Chu Lan wanted this answer from him, Xia Xi still cautiously replied: "He has ordinary features, and his age... should be around forty."
Chu Lan stared at him, his tone changing, "Does he look better than me?"
Xia Xi didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was taken aback and subconsciously muttered: "Why compare..." He quickly understood and couldn't help but smile, Xia Xi started cleaning Chu Lan's face with a wet cloth. He lightly wiped Chu Lan's forehead, "My King is, of course, the most beautiful in my heart, no one else can compare."
Hearing his praise, Chu Lan's previously tense expression relaxed, he quickly turned back to normal. He confidently said: "Of course I'm the best!" He stared at Xia Xi again with bright eyes, looking like he was fishing for more praise, "Why am I the best-looking in your heart?"
Xia Xi bent down and gently kissed Chu Lan's lips, saying in a soft voice, "Because you are my husband," Chu Lan couldn't help laughing when he heard him, he grinned from ear to ear. Normally, when he laughed with his white teeth out, it meant he unable to bear it anymore. He stretched out his arms and pulled Xia Xi in with a "puff", the water in the tub splashed, and Xia Xi who was pulled into the tub landed right on his lap.
Xia Xi didn't expect that Chu Lan would be so direct. He felt even more at a loss than the last time they had to squeeze in the tub. When he finally recovered, he discovered that all his clothes had been soaked through and the surrounding floor was also wet. He said a little helplessly, "This... it's a wooden floor, if the water continues to overflow like this, it'll leak downstairs..."
"Don't worry about it," Chu Lan began to pull at his clothes, he took another bite at Xia Xi's lips and said in a sour tone: "I'll spare you this time, Xi'er, you're not allowed to abandon me and meet up with strange men again, you not allowed!" He said again: "You also lied to me, everyone I sent obviously said that the man was very handsome!"
Xia Xi wanted to defend himself, but Chu Lan couldn't wait and kissed his lips. He peeled off his clothes and threw them wet on the floor beside the tub, he began to grope him wantonly.
Their tongues entangled completely, Xia Xi's mouth was sucked intensely, his breath was almost sucked away. Xia Xi's body became hot after being kissed. Ever since Chu Lan discovered how to have sex, they've been doing it every day, except for a one or two-day break, his body had gradually adapted from the initial discomfort to pleasure. He was sitting on his lap, so Xia Xi soon felt that the young man's completely hardened genitals rubbing at his buttocks, as if it was gonna slip inside his body any time.
Xia Xi took a deep breath after Chu Lan finally let go of his lips, his eyelashes trembled and he saw Chu Lan stare at him interrogatingly, "Do you really have no other thoughts towards him?" He asked, their lips brushed, and the movements of his hands didn't stop. One hand was expertly positioned between his legs, stroking his jade stem and kneading the beautiful penis until it got an erection. Xia Xi's breath became messed up and he trembled: "No."
Chu Lan was still dissatisfied. He pressed his palm down even harder, slowly inserting a finger into Xia Xi's cunt, stroking the fleshy walls inside inch by inch, "But Cai Huan obviously said that he was especially kind to you when you were travelling?"
Xia Xi gasped: "I was the Princess of peace. He was the captain of the guards who escorted me. He's responsible for protecting me. It wasn't that our treatment was 'very good'. You know that girl, Cai Huan, she's young. Give her a piece of candy, and she'll think that you're a very good person...." Xia Xi didn't know why he had an urge to talk so much. When he found out that Chu Lan was only suspicious because of this and that he didn't have any doubts about his relationship with other people, Xia Xi couldn't help but feel relieved. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked his young husband's cock, he actively rubbed it and leaned over to kiss Chu Lan's lips, he whispered: "I am my King's, and I will be my King's for the rest of my life."
Chu Lan's eyes lit up, more aggressive lust radiated off of him. He said, "Remember what you said!"
Xia Xi gasped and trembled under his stare, he nodded, "Yes."
Chu Lan laughed happily, leaning over to kiss him again, he squeezed two fingers inside his pussy, expanding the tight passage. When he felt that it was almost ready, Chu Lan replaced them with his own genitals and squeezed in. Regardless of how many times they've done it, Xia Xi still felt a bit of fear. He thought, Chu Lan was only seventeen years old right now and there was still plenty of room for growth. He didn't know how much bigger Chu Lan could grow in the future. He trembled and a special spot in his heart seemed to have been gently scratched, making him feel a bit expectant and a little scared.
His entrance swallowed the whole organ with a bit of difficulty, the entire length was stuffed tight inside his body, Xia Xi groaned and almost fell into Chu Lan's arms. Chu Lan rubbed his firm buttocks contentedly and suddenly said, "How should I punish you for not having dinner with me tonight?"
Xia Xi whispered: "You didn't come back to the inn for dinner..."
Chu Lan refused to admit it, "I came back early today!" He felt that he had found a good enough reason, "So, how should I punish you?"
Xia Xi didn't argue about the fact that he should be punished, but when he heard the young man's suggestion of doing it three times, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Chu Lan's stamina was much better than what he initially predicted. They had sex so frequently, but his young husband didn't seem to get tired at all. As long they were alone together, Xia Xi could feel the other party's piercing eyes and erect sex organ fueled with almost unlimited energy.
"Do it with me four times, no, five times, and then I'll forgive you!" Before could Xia Xi object, Chu Lan blocked his lips, groping his waist obscenely, and pushing his genitals deeper inside Xia Xi. Xia Xi's flower hole was the most tempting thing for him. He couldn't contain his love for it, and couldn't wait to bury himself in it every night.
Of course, he loved other places of Xia Xi too; he loved to kiss him, loved to suck his tongue, loved to mingle their saliva, loved to play with his nipples. It's all the more the reason why he had to print his marks all over Xia Xi's body.
