Bai Xi was not very busy on his first day off the plane.
During their free time on his trip, he would have his phone against his ear as he chatted with Qi Xun. There would always be pictures to share with his fiance. When he went shopping with his young assistant, he would also report it to Qi Xun. Once evening arrived and he was back at his hotel, he soaked in the hot spring while video chatting.
He placed his phone on his phone holder and rested on the stone shore of the hot spring, enjoying the water with his hair casually clamped with a hairclip. His cheeks flushed rosy-red and his eyes glistened, looking particularly cute and delicious.
Qi Xun watched him through his phone screen and was distracted from his work for a moment.
He was still working overtime in his study at home.
Earlier in the afternoon, Bai Xi sent him a scenery photo outside the window and asked him if he was busy. They did not need to chat if he was busy, Bai Xi could entertain himself with his colleagues.
However, Qi Xun glanced at the pile of documents on his desk, and against his secretary’s condemning glare, he replied in a flat tone, “Like usual, there is not much work today.”
Bai Xi believed him and continued to happily share a lot of stories with him.
As he looked at Bai Xi, who was eating fruit in the hot spring, he silently closed the unfinished documents.
Bai Xi noticed his action and immediately moved forward, asking, “Are you done with your work?”
He was so close to the camera that Qi Xun could spot a drop of water rolling down his lips and landing on his collarbone.
Without changing his expression, Qi Xun replied, “Yes. What were you saying earlier? Who did you meet in the hotel?”
“I met Wan Yanfei,” Bai Xi exclaimed, but he immediately explained, thinking Qi Xun might not know who this person was, “She was the best actress at last year’s Peony Film Awards. She has an outstanding appearance and is a masterful actress with a strong aura. She is worthy of her reputation as the number one actress of our generation.”
Qi Xun knew of her, but he could not quite agree with those claims.
“Then did you ask for her autograph?”
“No,” Bai Xi lamented, “She has a stern aura in private. When I saw her, she reminded me of the Dean of Students. Plus, she must have just finished shooting and was very tired. It was not the right time to bother her.”
Qi Xun smiled.
He looked at Bai Xi’s face on the screen, so close that it seemed as if he could touch the other man with a stretch of his hand.
But they were in two different cities, thousands of miles away.
They did not talk for long because they had work the next morning. He watched Bai Xi climb into the bed in a light grey nightshirt, very reluctant to end their video call.
The other man was very sleepy and could not keep his eyes open as he continued to ask if Chubby was behaving or eating well.

“Ms. Ding is playing with Chubby. It will not take long for the kitten to fall asleep.” Qi Xun shared.
Bai Xi was relieved.
After talking about a few more things, Bai Xi’s eyelids became heavier and heavier. Soon, his head rolled to the side and he fell asleep on his stomach as he lay on top of the quilt.
Qi Xun also stopped.
Bai Xi was asleep, but Qi Xun did not end the video call immediately. Instead, he watched the sleeping man quietly for a while.
The sleeping Bai Xi was quiet, lovable, and captivatingly beautiful, like a budding apricot flower.
Qi Xun was aware of how good-looking Bai Xi was way before they got together, but at that time, he did not possess any desire for the other man, so he did not go out of his way to check Bai Xi out.
But now, he was more and more aware of just how beautiful Bai Xi was, like a treasured pearl covered by dust. It shone brightly under the sun only after it was cleaned up.
Qi Xun took a cigarette from the drawer and put it between his teeth without lighting it.
He bit on the unlit cigarette and his eyes lingered on Bai Xi’s face.
He held back on saying something to Bai Xi earlier—
Chubby was doing fine in Bai Xi’s absence.The one who was having a hard time adapting was Chubby’s father.
Since the first day of Bai Xi’s business trip, he felt as if something was missing in the villa, as the house never felt this quiet.
.
But this was only the beginning.
Because Bai Xi was not as busy on the first day of his business trip, he was able to share his day with Qi Xun. But just after the second day, he was no longer as responsive to Qi Xun. Several different work tasks were piled on top of each other. He ran around with his colleagues every day and could not squeeze any free time to message Qi Xun back. Even in the evening, he only had enough energy for a few words.
As a workaholic, Qi Xun possessed more energy than ordinary people. He would often make things hellish for his subordinates. But humans tend to act with double standards. When he saw Bai Xi exhausted to the point of having eye bags, he felt restless and had the urge to call Bai Xi’s boss for a talk.
But he could only imagine it.
“Go to sleep early. Let’s end today’s chat and do not stay up browsing through your phone,” He said, “Are you able to get up tomorrow morning? Do you have everything ready?”
Bai Xi was rubbing essences on his face. Skincare was mandatory, even if he was super tired.
“You sounded like my dad,” he said, sitting cross-legged on the bed. Then he unconsciously said the next part adorably, “Always nag about what I can and cannot do.”
Qi Xun raised an eyebrow.
It seems his position in the family got promoted by one generation out of thin air.
He replied lightly, “Then are you asking for a spanking for disobeying your father?”
It was hard to tell if he was smiling at Bai Xi or not. His well-crafted face was impeccably handsome, and his black pajamas were tugged accordingly, revealing not a spot of skin. As he had just gotten out of the shower, his hair naturally fell, framing his face with a few loose strings, blocking his dark and intense eyes.
All the descriptions above made him even more abstinent and sexy.
Bai Xi sucked in a breath.
Goddammit. Qi Xun’s’ ‘your father’ contained no traces of respect for the old and the cherished young. He could only hear a hungry beast wanting a taste after getting a whiff.
He was sure, no, he was certain that Qi Xun must have had deadly thoughts when he said this.
Because he was also the same.
As he swallowed, it caused his Adam’s apple to bob. His eyes were almost glued to Qi Xun, but he had to object righteously, “Stop teasing me. There is only chatting on this call. You may struggle to get up tomorrow morning yourself.”
Qi Xun was dignified like a monk as he asked with a lazy look, “Where are you going? I am just concerned about your work.”
Bai Xi wished he could go through the screen and bite the other man.
Qi Xun’s leisurely manner was always super tempting yet beastly.
He burrowed into the quilt in gloom and did not want to pay attention to Qi Xun anymore.
Something was tickling his heart when looking at Qi Xun’s captivating face. Bai Xi looked at the other man like a dog begging for a bone, and muttered with a pout, “You are not interested in…doing anything towards me?”
He asked a seductive question with a childlike expression, as if luring Eve to eat the apple. A plump and rosy apple, no word could describe the apple’s perfection.
Qi Xun could feel a slight headache.
He was still considered calm just earlier, but now being looked at by Bai Xi like this, it was affecting his composure.
Bai Xi was not the only one who was suffering from sleeping on a cold bed.
Could he even go through with it?
Bai Xi was very tired.
“Of course I do,” Qi Xun replied in a husky voice, also with a degree of restraint. “But now is not the right time. You do not want to hold up your work tomorrow. You are also exhausted.”
Bai Xi knew that.
He gazed into Qi Xun’s eyes regretfully, as if the bone he wanted was walking further away from him. Since he could not taste the bone, he might as well head to bed early.
Then, an idea popped into his head as his face soon turned red.
He got into the quilt and brought his phone with him. Because of the dimmed backlight, what was shown on the other side of the scene turned dark suddenly.
As Qi Xun was about to ask Bai Xi what was wrong, he heard Bai Xi gently call him.
“What was that?” Qi Xun moved his phone to his ear. “What are you doing?”
He could hear Bai Xi’s light pants.
A few seconds later, Bai Xi’s voice scratched his ears like a feather, it was soft and vulnerable.
Bai Xi said some very embarrassing things. The keywords were ‘daddy’, ‘a lesson’, and ‘on the bed’.
But as soon as he finished, he quickly ended the video chat without getting a response from Qi Xun.
The phone made a crisp beep.
Bai Xi felt so bashful that he wrapped himself in the quilt tightly into a ball. Shame was brightly colored over his face.
He was too shameless to say those things verbally.
He was a disgrace to the teachings his motherland had drilled into his head.
.
Qi Xun did not sleep well the entire night because of what Bai Xi said.
When he went to work the next day, there was a heavy aura around him. When people in the office saw him, they had to quietly step aside for fear of provoking him.
Only Zhong Yuqin, who dropped by for a visit, was not afraid.
He was not aware of Bai Xi’s recent business trip, so he studied Qi Xun and wondered, “Why such a hungry face? Did Bai Xi kick you out of the house or punish you by sleeping on the couch?”
After reading through a document, Qi Xun raised his head and replied with two words, “Get out.”
The author has something to say:
Pine Nut Tea: Bai Xi is learning from bad examples. Qi Xun, you need to reflect on yourself.
