When their eyes met, Xu Qichen felt like a deer caught in the headlights, frozen to the spot.
This man, made him feel drunk.
Song Yuanyan gently kissed his brows and cheeks, before sucking his cold ear into his mouth. His lips were hot, leaving a burning trail wherever they touched. Lying sideways on the bed with one arm supporting his body weight, he used his other hand to touch Xu Qichen’s face before leisurely undoing the buttons of his shirt.
“It’s cold…” Xu Qichen murmured subconsciously when his skin was exposed.
Song Yuanyan pulled the corner of the quilt and used it to cover his body, then kissed his cheek carefully. Xu Qichen held his hand out and tried to push Song Yuanyan away. “Don’t… you’re still sick…”
“I’ll get better after sweating it out,” Song Yuanyan grabbed his hand and kissed it. “Help me out, sir, okay?”
Then he bit Xu Qichen’s lip, slyly watching him frown and open his mouth. He immediately took advantage of the slight opening and slipped his tongue in. The tip of his tongue stirred up a storm inside Xu Qichen’s mouth, entangling his shy soft tongue, intertwining them together. The sound of water reverberated in his ears, heating Xu Qichen’s brain. His aroused senses did not let him remain passive for long. Xu Qichen unconsciously raised his arms and looped them around Song Yuanyan’s neck.
Seeing Xu Qichen respond to his caresses actively, Song Yuanyan felt giddy. The deep long kiss ended suddenly, making Xu Qichen gasp and open his misty eyes in confusion.
Driven by instinct, he lifted himself closer to Song Yuanyan and demanded coquettishally, “I still want to kiss…”
This hit him straight in the heart. Song Yuanyan tried hard to suppress his inner restlessness, but couldn’t stop himslef from pinching his chin and asking half menacingly, “Do you want to be my partner-in-crime?”
Hearing the question, Xu Qichen smiled lazily and threw his head back on the bed. Then, like a cat strolling gracefully on a wire, he mumbled, “At worst, I can only be considered an accomplice…”
At last, he completely demolished the remaining reason in Song Yuanyan’s mind. The next moment, cold and hot melted together, like the arrival of the tsunami, everything was submerged under the waves of pleasure. The feeling of drowning and suffocating because of scorching heat, devoured Xu Qichen’s senses, They felt about to burst, spreading a type of paralytic feeling throughout his limbs, forcing him to seek comfort.
Like a small creature relying on his instinct, he bit Song Yuanyan’s neck.
“Sir, call my courtesy name.”
Song Yuanyan’s voice echoed in his ears, like the snake in the garden of Eden, approaching slowly, gradually drawing out the desires in his heart, and weaving them into the most primitive sins.
“Muru… Muru…”
His sobbed repeatedly. These simple words, blew through the siege, ending everything in his cry of prayer.
Perhaps due to being unattired and sweaty, Song Yuanyan coughed twice. Xu Qichen, whose mind had yet to wander back to earth, subconsciously stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt up, weakly scolding him, “You… insisted on this…”
Song Yuanyan stopped coughing and kissed Xu Qichen’s burning cheek. “Sir has been infected by me and will not be able to teach tomorrow.”
“You…”
Not waiting for Xu Qichen to object, Song Yuanyan quickly covered his mouth. Then he reached out and wiped away the tears gathered at the corner of his eyes.
“I love you, Sir Accomplice.”
Exhaustion, coupled with his reluctance to move away from Song Yuanyan’s arms made him quickly fell into the dense net of sleep.
His dream was an endless abyss of black and white.
Endless black sky provided a static backdrop to chalk-white silhouettes. Wherever he looked, he saw only abject darkness.
An almost invisible and fragile set of silk threads extended from the people. Every drag of the wind, put them in danger of breaking. The people spoke in a language he could not understand. It was loud, harsh, and vague, so he chose silence.
He looked at himself and realised that he had only a few threads left.
Without any relationships, perhaps it is better to lie in a box.
Why did I survive?
Wouldn’t it have been better to die together?
Just when he was about to shut himself completely, he suddenly saw a fine, crimson red line extending from his chest, like a beacon for life.
He followed the thread, and at the end of it found a tall figure. As if, instigated by his arrival, he turned around, and asked, “Hey, are you okay?” His voice, miraculously pierced through the harsh noise and reached his ears without a problem.

The world suddenly restored to its original color. The white school uniform shirt, the departing green bus, the unreal blue sky, and his dark black pupils.
You were the one who saved me.

Xu Qichen reached out and touched his forehead. It no longer seemed feverish. Then he looked outside, “The sun is up, aren’t you going home?”
Once he spoke, he realised how hoarse his voice sounded.
“If you’re not going with me, then I’m not going home.”
What a scoundrel! Xu Qichen suddenly remembered something. “Did Xiao Fang drive you here yesterday?”
Song Yuanyan shook his head, “I gave Xiao Fang half the day off and drove here myself.”
Only then Xu Qichen sighed in relief. He moved from Song Yuanyan’s embrace and got dressed, valiantly ignoring the way his whole body ached.
His throat felt so dry it was about to catch fire. Xu Qichen was about to pour himself a glass of water when he heard a knock at the door.
“Mr. Sun.”
Oh no, it was Lin Nianzhi!
Xu Qichen put the cup down and quickly pulled the quilt over Song Yuanyan’s head in an attempt to hide him. As long as Lin Nianzhi did not come in, she could not see him.
“Mr. Sun, Sun Lin! Surely he’s not still sleeping…”
Xu Qichen straightened his clothes, coughed twice, and opened the door.
“Did you just wake up? Do you know what time it is?”
Xu Qichen raised a fist to his mouth and faked a few coughs, “My apologies, I caught a bit of a cold.”
His voice had become hoarse. Hearing this, Lin Nianzhi asked with concern, “Are you alright? Is it very serious?” Seeing Xu Qichen wave her concern off, Lin Nianzhi joked, “What a coincidence, Song Yuanyan has been sick for so many days, and I don’t know if he’s gotten better yet. And now, even when so far away, you also fell sick. Is this what it means to have your hearts connected?”
Xu Qichen forced a laugh. Then he heard someone complain grumpily behind him, “Who is it? So noisy…”
Lin Nianzhi immediately perked up, eyes sparkling, “There’s someone in your room! And it’s a man! Let me in to see!” As she spoke, she pushed past Xu Qichen and squeezed into the room.
Where did this young lady get so much strength from?
Xu Qichen could not stop her even if he tried, so he simply watched Lin Nianzhi enter the room, go to the bedside and reach out to open the quilt. At that Xu Qichen grabbed her hand, “I advise you not to…”
Lin Nianzhi raised a delicately drawn eyebrow, “Why?”
Xu Qichen coughed, “It would not be appropriate, Miss Lin.”
Lin Nianzhi’s face flushed red. “You! You! Aren’t you with Song Yuanyan… Are you saying you… I really misread you! Even though Song Yuanyan isn’t a good person, but, how could you!”
Song Yuanyan finally gave up sleeping, also, it must have been very stuffy under the quilt, so he pushed it off and revealed his disgruntled face, “Why are you so noisy…?”
Upon seeing Song Yuanyan, Lin Nianzhi retracted her hand and backed away, “Song, Song, Song…”
Xu Qichen sighed, grabbed Lin Nianzhi’s arm and pulled her outside. “I told you, but you wouldn’t listen.”
“You two!” Lin Nianzhi’s face was as red as a tomato, “You two, last night…”
“We talked about the Bible under the quilt.” Xu Qichen said without batting an eyelid. “Miss Lin, you should turn your attentions to Dr. He”
Lin Nianzhi immediately panicked, “What Dr. He? Don’t say anything weird!”
Done teasing, Xu Qichen added, “Do your words from yesterday still stand? I want a day off today, can Teacher Lin take over a few of my classes for me?”
Then before even getting a reply from Lin Nianzhi, Xu Qichen closed the door. Song Yuanyan was still looking sleepy, “That, just now, was…”
“Leave it alone.” Xu Qichen urged him to get up, but Song Yuanyan dragged him back into his arms. “I haven’t slept enough.” Xu Qichen glared at him and threw his shirt from yesterday over his head. “Get dressed.”
Song Yuanyan lazily let out, “En.” He pulled on the bite on his neck as he got up, and hissed.
“Ouch…”
Xu Qichen glanced up and saw the deep bite mark on his neck. “You can cover it with my scarf later.”
Song Yuanyan leant closer and asked, grinning, “How many scarves do you have?”
“1.”
“Then that’s not enough.” He immediately hugged Xu Qichen and before he could react, fiercely sucked on his neck, leaving a bright red kiss mark. “Ai, there’s no way I could bite you.” Song yuanyan let go of Xu Qichen and asked aloud, “What should we do? If I use Sir’s scarf, how will he cover his neck?”
Xu Qichen gave Song Yuanyan a push, and wrapped his scarf around his own neck. “If someone asks, you can make up your own excuse.”
“Make up an excuse? No, I’ll definitely tell them the truth.” Song Yuanyan said with a grin as he put on his clothes, “My partner is a bit hot tempered. He was overwhelmed for a moment, so…”
Before he could finish, a book was thrown at him. Song Yuanyan continued grinning and looked at Xu Qichen, who was a little angry. He thought it was very interesting. “You see, what I said is the truth. You’re hot tempered, as expected of someone who grew up eating spicy food.”
While teasing, he had already put on his clothes and got out of bed. He pulled Xu Qichen into his arms. “Alright, I’ll stop.” Then he kissed him on the forehead. “Have you noticed that you’re letting your true feeling show more and more?”
Xu Qichen was about to argue back, but suddenly stopped.
He realised that something was not quite right.
But Sun Lin in the book was a quiet introvert, so it was not wrong to say such a thing when he got angry just now…
“You used the wrong buttonhole,” Song Yuanyan did not notice the change in Xu Qichen. “Let me fix it for you.” Then he undid his disordered buttons one by one, before doing them up carefully.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
After tidying up, they both left the church. While driving, Song Yuanyan clenched the steering wheel in his hand and said, “I’m going to talk to my brother this time.”
Stunned, Xu Qichen turned his head to look at him. “What are you talking about?”
He did not expect that Song Yuanyan, who always talked in circles, would reveal his plan in such an open manner.
Song Yuanyan kept looking ahead. “I know that, all these years, he has been trying to sabotage me several times. Thinking about our sibling relationship, I had been hesitant to confront him about it.” He glanced at Xu Qichen. “I’ve always felt sorry for you for that car accident. If I hadn’t played around and changed clothes with you to escape school, the person who was injured would not have been you.”
Song Yuanyan’s voice trembled slightly. Xu Qichen didn’t say anything. He just put his palm on his knee.
“All these years, whenever I see your legs, I would like to use the most vicious means to fight against him, rob him of everything, and let him fall into disrepute, so that he could regret it all his life.” Song Yuanyan said with a self deprecating smile, “But I dare not, not because I am afraid of him, but because I don’t want to become like him.”
He turned his face sideways and smiled at Xu Qichen. “After all, you are so good, so kind and gentle.”
I don’t want to become someone who is unable to stand beside you.
Xu Qichen lowered his head and smiled, “But now, you don’t want to bear with it anymore?”
He thought of the original ending of Song Yuanyan. After Sun Lin was poisoned, he left Jiangqu in despair and no one heard of him again.
“En.” Song Yuanyan took a deep breath. “I don’t want to argue with him. Give him everything he wants. I just want you.”
He let one hand off the steering wheel to hold Xu Qichen’s hand. “Earlier, Mr. Steven extended me an invitation. He recognised my ability and hoped that I could go to the UK for development. I thought for a long time before coming to the conclusion that this was the best way.”
“I want to break away from this family, get rid of the shackles, and really be myself.”
Song Yuanyan intertwined his fingers with Xu Qichen’s.
“Are you willing to go abroad with me? But you might have to suffer some hardships and you might not be able to live a comfortable life, but I will try very hard to give you a warm home.”
His promises haunted Xu Qichen’s ears.
This is the first time he had been given such a solemn promise.
Give him a home.
Xu Qichen pinched himself, so that he could keep his senses about him at this moment. He repeatedly reminded himself that this was a task, that this was a fictitious world, and that the person around him was just a virtual character.
This promise seems to have exceeded the weight that his heart could bear.
“Are… are you not willing?”
Song Yuanyan’s words were full of hesitation. He took a deep breath again and tried to smile. “It’s fine. I know it’s too hasty. I just think our relationship has been… It’s fine, you can think about it for a few days. You don’t have to reply to me so quickly.”
Looking at his disappointed expression, Xu Qichen unconsciously held his hand.
“I’m willing.”
Song Yuanyan was stupefied for a moment. His astonishment made him step on the brake making the car stop suddenly. “Are you, are you saying… Really?”
“Take me away.”
He saw that Song Yuanyan was so overjoyed that he did not know what to do with his own limbs. So he started the car again. For a while, he could not seem to think of any suitable words.
Xu Qichen fell into a kind of confusion. He did not know whether the answer he gave was to successfully complete the task or whether he really wanted to go away with this person and stay together for a lifetime.
This kind of confusion had never existed in the previous worlds. Perhaps in all the worlds before, he had never considered the problem of fate because he never got such a careful promise before.
But the word ‘home’, to him, simply held too much weight.
Commitment was really a terrible thing. It made him realise his true heart lying under this skin.
Despite how ecstatic one might feel –
He is not the person you want.
You are not the person he wants.
You’re at the wrong place.
His mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts were rushing in. At this moment, he loved Song Yuanyan, but he did not know whether he loved him or the shadow behind him.
Just like this, they arrived at the Song residence.
When he saw Song Yuanyan’s eyes that were serious yet filled with endless tenderness, Xu Qichen decided to put aside everything and stop thinking about the problems that were torturing him.
No matter what the original intention is, at this moment, he really hoped to be with Song Yuanyan forever. And that was enough.
“You’re back?” Before they even stepped into the house, they heard Mrs. Song’s voice.
Song Yuanyan was surprised that she did not ask about him spending the night outside.
“Ah Lin is back too?” Mrs. Song stood up, “Just in time, come, quickly.”
When Xu Qichen came in, he saw Mrs. Song welcoming him with a warm face and Master Song sitting on one side. This scene seemed almost too grand.
Until he saw the other person sitting on the sofa.
“Come, Ah Lin, greet Master Xie.”
The plan can never catch up with changes, this saying proved true once more.
It definitely feels like the ML came into these worlds to chase the MC lol
Oh boy… hope nothing will happen to Sun Li
Can’t wait for next chapter. Thanks for the update💕
♥️
…uh oh
