Bai Xi snuggled into Qi Xun’s arms and did not want to leave. If they were not at the airport, he would have transformed into sticky sesame candy and stuck to Qi Xun.
But his remaining reason stopped him as he begrudgingly tore himself away from Qi Xun. He turned around and waved to his colleagues and Su Ye by the door, an ‘I will be leaving now’ gesture.
The two colleagues looked at him teasingly and waved with a smile. Then they pushed their suitcases in the other direction to buy ice cream.
Su Ye also smiled at him and mouthed ‘Goodbye’.
For a moment, Qi Xun’s line of sight crashed into Su Ye’s.
The actor’s manager on the side felt as if sparks were splashing in the air.
Fortunately, it only lasted a few seconds.
Qi Xun soon laced his hand with Bai Xi’s and left.
Su Ye watched them leave for a while before turning away. He lowered his hat and said, “Let’s leave as well.”
.
Bai Xi and Qi Xun put the suitcase into the trunk and sat in the front seats.
With the privacy film over the car’s windows, it became a secret escape for the two.
As soon as the doors were closed, Qi Xun and Bai Xi closed their distance and entered an intense kissing session.
Qi Xun never knew he was such an impulsive person.
But when Bai Xi’s arms were around his neck, making soft groans and cries, staring at him bleary-eyed from the kiss and looking at him with complete vulnerability, it was like a spark went off as it immediately increased the temperature in the car.
Bai Xi was in a daze from the captivating kisses. It was hard to tell if Qi Xun’s body heat was at an unbearable degree or if his blood was boiling.
Sometimes he even wondered why he loved Qi Xun so much, how he felt like he was melting with just Qi Xun hugging him like this.
During the interval of kissing, he muttered to Qi Xun, “I miss you so much.”
In the winter, when he and Qi Xun had just gotten together, he went to Luohai City, where the other man was on a business trip. When they met in the city, he said the same thing to Qi Xun—‘I miss you so much.

At that time, Qi Xun answered him with, ‘I know.’

From ‘I know’ to ‘I miss you too’, only after seven months, starting from winter to summer.

He spoke very softly, but the hint of possessiveness could not be hidden.
Bai Xi gave a puff of laughter.
He asked in a husky voice, “What are you going to do after you kidnap me?”
Qi Xun stared into his eyes and said the next part like he was joking, but his slightly serious eyes said otherwise, “Lock you away in the villa.”
Bai Xi raised his eyebrow and warned, “That sounded very against the law.”
But a few seconds later, he showed a mischievous smile at Qi Xun. “But there is no crime in that if I am willing.”
If Qi Xun were a criminal, he would willingly be an accomplice.
.
After the two had been all lovey-dovey for a while, they slowly separated.
Although the car’s windows were tinted with privacy film, they were still in a public place, so they did not know when the owner of the vehicle beside them would come.
When Qi Xun drove out and got onto the main street, Bai Xi lowered the window and let the gentle breeze blow on his face, reducing the heat on his cheek.
As it was six o’clock already, the streetlights were on, but today’s traffic was not too bad as they got home an hour later.
Knowing that Bai Xi was coming back today, Ms. Ding specifically cooked a table full of his favorite dishes and smartly retired early for the evening.
Bai Xi ate her cooking with tears in his eyes.
He had not had such a delicious home-cooked meal for a very long time.
He complained to Qi Xun, “The food at the dinner party is not for humans. Everything was in a small portion, just enough to feed a cat. Even Chubby eats more than what they serve to us.”
Qi Xun smiled and peeled the shrimp for Bai Xi.
He did think that Bai Xi had lost some weight as if he had been abused outside.
These days, when Bai Xi was away, he did not have much appetite either. It was not because the thought of eating was off-putting, but when he was eating alone at the table. There was this empty feeling that he was no longer accustomed to.
There was no one slobbering on the floor, no random coat on the sofa, and no mess in the bedroom. Everything was at his disposal according to his previous habits.
But something always felt missing.
As he looked at Bai Xi sitting opposite of him in a loose T-shirt and his bangs clamped up with a clip, Qi Xun finally found the piece of the puzzle that had been missing in his heart.
Bai Xi was holding a small bowl and eating the final dessert. It was double-skin milk with honey. When he noticed Qi Xun was staring in his direction, he scooped out the sweet and asked, “You want some?”
Qi Xun shook his head.
He was indeed ready for dessert, but just not the ones in Bai Xi’s bowl.
Bai Xi ate the entire double-skin milk by himself.
He happily leaned back on the seat and rubbed his belly, saying with eyes curved up in crescent moons, “Being at home is still the best. The past few days on the business trip were inhuman. I want to eat chicken braised in coconut milk, and also hotpot.”
Qi Xun walked to his side. “Yes on the chicken braised in coconut milk, no on the hotpot. You will regret it afterward.”
Bai Xi blinked sadly at him.
Qi Xun picked him up, walked into the bedroom, and kindly reminded him, “Do you remember what you said to me on the phone two days ago?”
Bai Xi was at a loss.
He didn’t remember the tease he pulled because he was preoccupied with the present rather than the future.
Qi Xun placed him on the bed and began to unbutton slowly.
Bai Xi wore only a large loose T-shirt after his bath, which was enough to cover his thighs. Now he looked like a fish on a chopping board.
He appeared as if he had done no wrong.
Qi Xun knelt on one knee on the bed with one hand supporting him. He looked at the other from above before moving closer and repeating the words of that day in Bai Xi’s ear.
It was as if there was a thunder strike on a clear day.
Then, Bai Xi almost became petrified on the spot.
In the beginning, when they were separated on the phone screens, he went all out and called ‘daddy’ and also ‘please teach me a lesson in bed’, only because Qi Xun could not rush out of the screen and carry out his plea on the spot.
But now, as Qi Xun looked at him with two arms firmly on his side, it was like a cage.
Bai Xi swallowed hard.
“A gentleman uses his tongue and not with force.” He tried to reason with Qi Xun, acting coquettishly and obediently. “You can’t take a man’s words in bed seriously.”
Qi Xun smiled softly. “It is too late.”
He pushed Bai Xi’s T-shirt up.
Bai Xi was forced to show his thin and soft waist, where the skin was snow-white and would leave a mark with the smallest amount of force.
“What is more, I have never claimed myself as a gentleman.” Qi Xun added the second half of the sentence slowly.
.
Bai Xi had a thorough understanding of what ‘a loose tongue may cause a disaster’ meant. Some words were never meant to be said aloud.
At least it was only tonight that he was the son in the bed.
After taking another bath, he laid back on the bed with a changed sheet. Even when he was too tired to move, his mind seemed to be crystal clear.
He turned to the clock and saw it would be midnight soon.
His birthday was almost here.
Qi Xun’s attention was also on the time as he held Bai Xi in his arms, as time passed minute by minute.
When the pointer pointed to the twelve, he lowered his head and kissed Bai Xi gently on the forehead.
“Happy Birthday.”
He looked at Bai Xi with doting eyes, completely unlike his cold, calm, and always reserved self, as if right now he had broken and reshaped his personality from the inside.
He took out a small brocade bag from the bedside table and took out the lucky bracelet from within, fastening it around Bai Xi’s wrist.
Several thin silk cords were woven together with a small round gold button in the middle.
“My Xi Xi is a year older,” he said. “May you have peace in all the years that come.”
