As far as Xu Qichen was concerned, ‘sour’ is the most impactful taste.
Like detonating a bomb at the tip of the tongue, which stimulates saliva and makes the whole mouth moist and sensitive in an instant.
This kiss was eager and hungrier than any before. The narrow and cramped space locked the two people’s reason out of the door, leaving only their hormones in charge. Once the key is lost, no one can escape until it all burns out.
Mu Yao’s tongue moved dexterously, licking and entangling the other gently, making Xu Qichen’s bones disappear in an instant. He didn’t even have the strength needed to raise a hand, let alone offer any resistance.
The lack of oxygen made his chest undulate violently, and him unconsciously tremble and gasp. The sound acted as fatal temptation for Mu Yao. He released Xu Qichen’s lips. The lipstick color was all printed on his lips and corners of his mouth, making his face look even more gorgeous.
Xu Qichen put a hand on the partition wall and tried to catch his breath with his head down.
“I think it’s sweet ah.”
The more he was like this, the more he wanted to bully him.
Xu Qichen frowned and looked up at Mu Yao with a slightly reddened face
The sight made a strange and appropriate metaphor suddenly appear in Mu Yao’s mind – Xu Qichen looked like a honey peach that had been kneaded for too long, whose juices were all sealed inside the thin pink skin, ready to flow out with a slight poke.
Xu Qichen felt quite giddy. He reasoned the toxicity emitted by the renovation works to be the cause. He tried to stand up, using the wall as support. “Let’s go…”
But Mu Yao wrapped an arm around him.
“What if I don’t want to?”
His lipstick had become a mess because of kissing, seeing which, made Xu Qichen have an abnormal reaction in his heart.
“Master.” This form of address made his heart jump. “I don’t want to go out.”
Mu Yao leant down and pecked his earlobe.
“What I want… happens to be the exact opposite of what you want.”
When it was over, Xu Qichen was completely paralyzed and couldn’t detect even a little strength in his body. He could only lean on Mu Yao’s body and with his sticky mouth he said, “I didn’t eat, I can’t stand…”
“I’ll carry you back.”
“In a maid’s uniform?”
“Shut up.”
After a short rest, they walked out of the compartment and found that it was dark outside.
When Xu Qichen looked in the mirror, he found that his face was full of lipstick marks. He sighed and turned on the tap.
“… It can’t be rubbed off.”
“You’ll need a makeup remover for that.” Mu Yao handed him some. “There you go.”
Xu Qichen looked at the bottle in Mu Yao’s hand, then glared at him. “Get that thing out of my sight!”
Seeing this, Mu Yao laughed so hard that he could not stand upright. He poured the remaining makeup remover into his palm and removed the makeup on his face.
Xu Qichen’s cell phone beeped just then.
It was a message from Qi Meng.
[Senior, we’ve closed up here. The dog’s clothes are with me.]
Xu Qichen glanced at Mu Yao, who was in the process of removing the wig, then typed a reply.
[We’re in the building near the plaza, the one that’s undergoing renovation. The washroom on the left on the third floor. If you haven’t gone back yet, can you bring his clothes here? If he goes down now, he’ll just be surrounded by the crowd again.]
The reply came swiftly.
[Okay!]
Once he kept the phone, he was dragged to Mu Yao’s side. Mu Yao lifted him onto the vanity top.
Xu Qichen looked at him, “What?”
Mu Yao smirked, “Removing evidence.”
Then he took out some wet tissue from his pocket, put makeup remover on it, and began to wipe Xu Qichen’s face gently.
Xu Qichen did not resist. He simply sat there and watched Mu Yao’s serious expression.
The water droplets on his eyelashes from washing his face were trembling lightly.
“So good looking.”
Mu Yao looked up, “Who?”
“You.”
Mu Yao hummed and then lowered his head again to wipe his neck and collar bone. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Xu Qichen shook his head. Then, as though remembering something, he said, “Yes.”
Mu Yao panicked, “Where? What happened?”
Xu Qichen opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, “Here, you bit me, it hurts.”
Hearing this, Mu Yao was stunned. “Sorry, I couldn’t control my strength.”

Before he could finish, he was suddenly smaked with a kiss. Then he stared dumbly at the person sitting on the vanity top, laughing loudly.
Mu Yao could not help but wonder if the person sitting in front of him was really the gentle and quiet Xu Qichen.
“You teased me,” Mu Yao reached out to tickle him.
Xu Qichen could not escape, he could only shout pleadingly, “I was wrong! Stop!” as he struggled frantically and tried to kick Mu Yao away.
“Senior! I’m here…”
This was the sight that greeted Qi Meng when she opened the door.
The senior who was trying to get away, and Mu Yao in a dress, holding his arms and legs down, both in an ambiguous position, brought about by the angle of perception.
She immediately covered her eyes. “I didn’t see anything!”
Xu Qichen looked at her. The gap between her fingers was large enough to expose her big eyes ba…
Mu Yao coughed and retracted his hands. He walked over and snatched the bag from Qi Meng’s hands, raised his eyebrows and said, “Yes, you didn’t see anything.” Then he walked into a cubicle to change.
“Senior, senior!” Qi Meng walked up to Xu Qichen excitedly, “You two…?”
“We waited here for a long time and nearly died of boredom,” Xu Qichen got down from the vanity top. Lying without a draft had already become a talent of his. Seeing that Qi Meng was about to ask again, he quickly changed the topic, “Where’s Xiao Cang?”
“Not long after you guys left, he was brought away by the policeman.”
Policeman…? It took a while for Xu Qichen to understand. “Where to?”
“How would I know?” Qi Meng suddenly giggled, “By the way, the two couples around me are so cute ah, these settings… yingyingying.”
This kid…
Mu Yao came out after changing. After saying a few words to Qi Meng, he brought Xu Qichen home.
“The tub is filled, time to bathe,” Mu Yao called out from the entrance to the bathroom. He did not get a response, so he came out to find Xu Qichen lying on the living room sofa.
“I don’t feel like moving. You can bathe first.”
“No.” Mu Yao pulled Xu Qichen up, “I’ll help you.”
Hearing this, Xu Qichen’s ears heated up. He quickly got up by himself and went into the bathroom. “You can bathe in the master bathroom.” Then he locked the door.
By the time he came out, Mu Yao’s hair had already dried. Sitting on the sofa in a loose t-shirt, he glanced at the dripping Xu Qichen, “You always run out still wet, do you not know how to dry yourself before putting on your clothes? You’ll catch a cold like this.”
“It’ll evaporate in a while.” Xu Qichen walked up to the sofa. There was a hairdryer on the coffee table. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and sat down on the carpet beside the coffee table. “I believe there’s a basketball match on today…”
Mu Yao reached out and and effortlessly pulled Xu Qichen in front of him. He placed a towel on his head and gently dried his hair. Only when there was no longer any visible droplets of water did he use the hairdryer. Long fingers carded through his hair gently. Warm air blew on his hair roots and over his face, a little hot and a little ticklish, making Xu Qichen sleepy. So he pulled Mu Yao’s knee into a comfortable position and rested his head on it.
“Tired?”
Xu Qichen nodded, staring at the TV.
Wah, it’s a three pointer.
It made him happy. He lifted his head to watch the TV better, then he dropped it back onto Mu Yao’s leg.
“What’s so nice about it, do any of them look better than me?” Mu Yao blew his hair dry for him while complaining unhappily, “Why not just watch me play?”
The sound of the whistle and cheers from the match mixed noisily with the sound of the hairdryer.
Xu Qichen replied, “When you play, I can’t hear anything except the sound of girls screaming your name.”
He followed it with an imitation, sounding like a hungry kitten whining for food.
Mu Yao laughed while lifting Xu Qichen’s head up so it rested on his other knee. This way, he could dry the hair on the other side. “It’s not my fault they scream my name. They do it out of their own free will.” Suddenly, he felt happy, “Why? Are you jealous?”
Xu Qichen stared unblinkingly at the screen, too engrossed to answer him.
When Mu Yao stopped his movements and asked again, Xu Qichen replied, “No ah, I’m not.”
Hearing such a calm denial, Mu Yao’s heart felt as if it was pierced by something, making it feel uncomfortable.
This is very, very unsatisfying.
“But you should ah.”
Hearing such a random statement, Xu Qichen was confused. He turned around and asked, “En? What did you say?”
Mu Yao switched the hairdryer off with a loud click. He was clearly upset, “I said, can’t you feel jealous because of me once in a while?”
Xu Qichen laughed. He climbed up from the floor and lay down on the sofa. With a serious curious expression, he asked, “Why? What’s wrong with not getting jealous?”
Why is he so dense…?
Mu Yao sighed helplessly. He threw the towel on the coffee table and prepared to get up to put the hairdryer back in the bathroom, “Forget it.”
But Xu Qichen was relentless. To stop him from leaving, he rested his legs on Mu Yao’s thighs and shook them, and said, “Tell me, I don’t understand”.
He should not have mentioned this.
“You ate several years’ of rice more than me, but you don’t understand this?”
Although he said so… the Xu Qichen after taking a bath looked white and clean. Wearing a white cotton robe and gray three-quarter pants, with a small part of his calf exposed and swaying on Mu Yao’s knee, he looked no different from a child.
Seeing Xu Qichen’s sincere nod and his expression of humbly asking for enlightenment, Mu Yao smiled. He grabbed Xu Qichen’s ankle and turned to him. “Okay.”
His sharp teeth peeked out cunningly.
His eyes curved in a smile, like a new moon
“Call gege.”
Xu Qichen was stunned for a moment and thought that Mu Yao wanted to use a new pet name. He subconsciously replied, “Sure.”
Mu Yao grabbed his ankle and pulled Xu Qichen closer.
His voice was low and irrefutable.
“I’m telling you to call me gege.”
What?
Xu Qichen, who finally figured out what was going on, frowned, “I’m four years older than you.”
Mu Yao raised his eyebrows. “We are not the same species. How can we use the same age calculation method?”
Too cunning sophistry!
“Are you going to do it?”
Xu Qichen pursed his lips and glared at Mu Yao with a a resolute expression.
“Quickly, call gege.”
Xu Qichen shook his head and tried to step on his thigh, but he could not remove his ankle from his grasp. This made him laugh.
“Don’t laugh, say gege.”
“No.”
Seeing how stubborn he was being, Mu Yao started to act cute instead. He pinched the bottom of Xu Qichen’s foot, “Please, just this once.”
Xu Qichen shook his head.
“I’ll give you a massage.”
He shook his head.
“I’ll buy you ice cream. Chocolate ice cream.”
He shook his head.
“I’ll buy all the sweets you want.”
He shook his head.
“I’ll get up early for school every day.”
He still shook his head.
Looking at Xu Qichen who refused to budge, Mu Yao was silent for a while. After repeated self struggle, he finally gave the last condition.
“I’ll let you touch my tail.”
He nodded crazily.
“Make it come out first.”
Xu Qichen was cautious.
Mu Yao had no choice but to make his tail appear. Xu Qichen excitedly got up and grabbed the furry black tail like a cat pouncing on a mouse.
It’s so soft.
Mu Yao reached out to pinch Xu Qichen’s cheek, “What did you promise me?”
Xu Qichen, whose mood had floated to the sky when he touched the tail, was so happy that he forgot all about his unwillingness and shouted happily, “Gege.”
“That’s too perfunctory.” Mu Yao swung his tail behind him, “Be serious.”
Xu Qichen tilted his head and used his serious expression to meet Mu Yao’s eyes.
“Gege.” He then said the words one by one, “Ah Yao-gege.”
Mu Yao’s ears began to burn, just as inexplicably as the rain that began outside suddenly.
Xu Qichen’s mind was only on the tail. He could not reach it properly from either side, so he simply climbed onto Mu Yao and reached behind him to touch the tail, only to find that it was wagging from side to side.
Is this a happy reaction?
“Do you like being called gege?”
Mu Yao hugged Xu Qichen, who had unself-consciously climbed onto him and was moving around just to touch his tail. “That’s not it.”
I only like being called gege by you.
After lazing around on the sofa for a while, Xu Qichen gave Mu Yao a kick, “Go back to your room and sleep ba.”
Mu Yao was playing with the TV remote control. “It’s Saturday tomorrow.”
Ah, that’s right.
“And I want to sleep with you tonight.”
Xu Qichen looked at him and thought, Then I won’t have to think about getting any sleep tonight. He said, “No, you take up too much space.”
“Then let’s go to the master bedroom. The bed is huge,” Mu Yao immediately turned off the TV and stood up, pulling Xu Qichen, who had already become one with the sofa, up with him. Then he used his trump card, “If you agree, I won’t keep my tail.”
Xu Qichen was immediately happy. “Then, can I hug it to sleep?”
“En.” Even though Mu Yao did not want to do this, it seemed to have become the best bait. It would be a waste not to use it.
Xu Qichen no longer resisted and followed Mu Yao into the master bedroom. The rain outside the window was so heavy that some of the saturated wind slipped in through the gap of the window.
Xu Qichen got into the quilt and smelled the same fragrance as the shower gel on Mu Yao’s body.
The two men lay face to face. Mu Yao’s tail gently brushed Xu Qichen’s wrist. They chatted lazily. Most of it was Mu Yao talking. Xu Qichen, whose fingers were tangled in the furry tail, was sleepy and only occasionally replied to him.
“I’d like tomato and egg noodles in super thick soup for breakfast.”
Xu Qichen gave a soft hum.
“I still want to eat fried bun. We didn’t get to put egg in it last time, let’s try it with eggs this time.”
The man in front of him raised his eyelids a little and again hummed vaguely in response.
Mu Yao stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the hair on his forehead. He spoke again, “Do you believe in love at first sight?”
The only response he got was the sound of his breathing getting deeper and deeper in the intermittent rain, and the slightly undulating shoulders in the moonlight.
Mu Yao got closer and wrapped his arms around his body. He stretched out his feet in the quilt and found Xu Qichen’s cold feet. He clamped them with his legs to warm them up.
This question…
More than ten years ago, someone had asked him this question. He had thought he understood himself well enough, so he had given a resolute answer.
[I will never, ever fall in love with someone at first sight. How can you suddenly develop feelings for a stranger? That’s so unrealistic.]
So, one should never put up flags for oneself.
One day, you might just go back on your word.
He slept particularly deeply. The alarm clock at 7:30 rang twice before it was turned off by Xu Qichen.
The habit of being perpetually sleepy seems to be contagious. Sleeping with someone who loves to sleep in, the probability of you staying in bed too, will increase.
As he was about to fall into the comfortable embrace of sleep, there was a sudden knock on the main door.
“… So early? Who?” Xu Qichen mumbled.
At first he thought they might have got the wrong door, but the knocking got louder and louder.
Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Unable to stand it any longer, Xu Qichen got up and blearily jogged barefooted to the door. He peeked out of the peephole.
No one?
How could this be?
The knocking started again, but he could not see anyone through the peephole.
Xu Qichen was suddenly wide awake. Not only was he wide awake, but he even shuddered violently.
Was there a ghost this early in the morning…?
The knocking did not stop.
He prepared himself and opened the door wide.
He did not see any frightening monsters.
But nor was it empty.
There was a child who reached up to Xu Qichen’s knees.
Xu Qichen was a little confused, “You, are you looking for someone?”
The pretty kid looked around, then smiled up at Xu Qichen, “Is Mu Yao in?”
Speaking of, this child looks…
Exactly like a mini-Mu Yao ah.
Could it be?
“Mu Yao, you have a son!?”
‘Mini-Mu Yao’ invited himself in and toed off his shoes. He grinned brightly at Xu Qichen, who was looking very confused. “No way,” the little guy hugged Xu Qichen’s leg, “He’s my big brother.”
