Xu Qichen was so drunk that he felt feverish, in a dreamlike state. Everything he saw was covered in a layer of mesmerizing gold, swaying with his gaze. But even so, he could still see that the place where Xia Zhixu brought him was not his parents’ house.
It was a completely unfamiliar place.
“Where are we…” Xu Qichen was being carried on his back and his head rested on his shoulder. He mumbled, “Is this a hotel…”
“What hotel, what are you thinking?” Xia Zhixu was caught between crying and laughing. He turned his head to kiss Xu Qichen on the cheek. “This is our home.”
Xu Qichen, like a child, obediently copied Xia Zhixu’s tone and repeated, “Our home…”
Carrying him on his back, Xia Zhixu arrived at the doorstep with some difficulty. He put Xu Qichen down, half hugged him, and released one hand to key in the password and fingerprint. Although he knew Xu Qichen was drunk now, Xia Zhixu deliberately pinched his face and said, “Little ancestor, the password is your birthday. Remember it?”
Xu Qichen’s chin was resting on Xia Zhixu’s shoulder. He nodded, “Yes…”
“Good boy.”
Opening the door, Xia Zhixu lifted him horizontally. Although Xu Qichen was thin, he was still a man and his weight was not insignificant, especially since his legs were long. At this moment, Xia Zhixu was particularly grateful for his daily exercise.
Xu Qichen didn’t even realize that he was being lifted, his mind was so dizzy, and he felt his body floating into the sky. Suddenly, he fell into a soft place.
Xia Zhixu placed him on the bed and saw that his face was flushed. He thought he should take him to take a bath first, so he bent down to help him unbutton his coat. However, before he could even start, Xu Qichen, who was lying on his back in bed, took off his coat, muttering that he felt hot.
“You won’t be hot after you take a shower,” Xia Zhixu unconsciously used a tone of coaxing a child and touched his cheek. “Be good, I’ll unbutton it for you. Stay still.”
The drunk Xu Qichen was completely different from his usual self. He arched on the bed like a small earthworm, rubbing back and forth, complaining about the heat while unbuttoning his clothes.
“Hey, hey, slow down, you’ll tear the buttons off.”
This reminder came too late. He heard the sound of thin threads breaking and saw the buttons at the collar falling off. Xia Zhixu reluctantly grabbed his hand, revealing a large area of flushed skin because of the loose collar. It made him feel a slight stir in his heart.
The drunk person didn’t feel any shame at all and kept mumbling in a dazed manner about wanting to hug him, with hands desperately trying to break free from Xia Zhixu’s shackles.
He drank way too much.
Xia Zhixu tightly grasped his hand with a hint of threat in his tone, “Be good and I’ll hug you.”
For some reason, with just one sentence, Xu Qichen under him began to feel aggrieved, his eyes red, and he looked like he was about to cry right away. Xia Zhixu, who was supposed to pretend to be calm, immediately softened his heart and leaned down to embrace him, saying “Okay, okay, hug, hug.”
Xia Zhixu didn’t know whether Xu Qichen was conscious or not. The guy hugged him and kissed him from the neck to the chin, and Xia Zhixu couldn’t stop him.
Seeing Xia Zhixu dodge, Xu Qichen stopped and looked at him with wet eyes. His voice was soft, “Don’t you want to kiss?”
It’s not just about wanting it! Xia Zhixu thought to himself, now relying solely on his determination to restrain himself.
But he didn’t want to be intimate with Xu Qichen while he was barely conscious.
Xia Zhixu wanted to treasure him better.
He kissed Xu Qichen’s forehead and said with a gentle voice, “Baby, can I take you to take a shower first? Otherwise, you’ll feel uncomfortable in the morning.”
Xu Qichen was really about to burst into tears.
His hand tightly wrapped around Xia Zhixu’s neck, raising his face he said, “Zhixu, I want…”
Every time he called his name like this, Xia Zhixu’s heart became exceptionally soft, and he wanted to unconditionally agree to anything.
But this matter exceeded his expectations.

But he didn’t know that Xia Zhixu’s willpower was like a building teetering on the verge of collapse and still had to withstand the test of his beloved.
If his composure was a tall building built up by countless blocks of building blocks, it should have been gradually dismantled brick by brick, until it became hollow and fragile. But now this person who held the initiative no longer wanted to play such a time-consuming game.
With a fierce and sudden swing of his arm, he completely destroyed the tower.
Xu Qichen’s tongue licked and played with Xia Zhixu’s upper jaw as if tickling his heart. His hands were even more restless, and he went straight down into the hem of Xia Zhixu’s knitted sweater, caressing his solid lower abdominal muscles. All of this made Xia Zhixu take a cold breath and abandon his previous thoughts.
The reason was fiercely abandoned. Everything about Xu Qichen exceeded his expectations.
Having discarded all reason, Xia Zhixu decided to regain the initiative. He directly peeled off Xu Qichen’s shirt and kissed him all the way from his lips, leaving a series of damp and hot marks under his ears, neck, and collarbone. He inserted his index and middle fingers into Xu Qichen’s moist and warm mouth.
The kisses made Xu Qichen hum softly. This was undoubtedly a great encouragement for Xia Zhixu, because it was their first time in the real world, and the real human body was millions of times more complex than the code simulation. Being able to gradually discover the sensitive spots of a lover’s body was simply the most fulfilling thing.
Xu Qichen’s head was drowsy, and he had no idea where to put his long legs. He simply rested them on the person in front of him.
Xia Zhixu has never told anyone, but he really, really liked Xu Qichen’s legs.
Just by looking at them, a wild desire awakened in him.
Xu Qichen fearlessly continued to pour oil on this increasingly prosperous fire. He tilted his head and tried to reach up, his red mouth pitifully murmuring, “Kiss…”
Too adorable.
Xia Zhixu felt that he could almost die at his hands. He lowered his head and kissed Xu Qichen, and as he wished, the pitiful little one indulged in the kiss of his lover. Alcohol burned his desires even hotter, and in a kiss lacking sufficient air, the two of them almost blended, inseparably together.
Alcohol seemed to blur away many things, like the perception of time and sensitivity to pain, but it only deepened the sensitivity of the body, as if countless hands had pulled it into a soft but dangerous mud, unable to extricate itself.
When Xu Qichen woke up, the sky outside the window was already clear, and the soft spring sunshine poured down from the gaps in the curtains, sprinkling on the beige wool carpet in the room, making it look very cosy. He tried to get up, but as soon as he looked up, he felt uncomfortable, his head was in a dull pain, his eyes couldn’t open too much, and he felt thirsty. He habitually reached out to the bedside table, only to find that there was no bottle on his side.
The person who was still sleeping next to him reached out with their eyes closed, and their long arms handed him water. Xu Qichen was still a bit confused and dumbfounded, only to find that the water bottle came with a straw. He squinted his eyes and took a big sip then placed it on the ground. Then, he slipped entirely into the blanket. Although Xia Zhixu was asleep, he seemed to see him still. He reached out and pulled him out, exposing his head outside.
Xia Zhixu had developed a habit of this subconscious action in the virtual world. He could not get rid of Xu Qichen’s bad habit of burying his head in the blanket, so, for the sake of his health, Xia Zhixu could only get into the habit of getting him out on his own.
Xu Qichen snorted twice before reluctantly lying down. Xia Zhixu kissed the back of his head, enveloping him as if holding his own exclusive doll.
Xu Qichen rubbed and smelled the fragrance of shower gel on Xia Zhixu’s body, which was the same as his own.
Although it’s just a tiny detail, it pleased Xu Qichen and made him feel good. Xia Zhixu’s arm was resting under his neck. Xu Qichen tilted his head and with his lips pressed against the back of his hand, he fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, he was the only one left on the bed. Xu Qichen reached out to touch the other side of the bed, which was empty, and only then did he realize that the size of the bed was astonishingly large.
He didn’t really want to get up yet. But after lying down for a while, he felt bored. So he rolled up the blanket twice and wrapped himself inside into a long roll. He paused a while, then rolled in the opposite direction twice, and the blanket spread out. He changed direction again and rolled twice before suddenly seeing a pair of legs standing by the bed, which startled him.
Xia Zhixu held him down with both hands and kissed his lips. “It’s time to get up, little sushi.”
Xu Qichen blinked at him, “Don’t wanna.”
“Why not?”
“No strength.” Xu Qichen pursed his lips.
Xia Zhixu nodded as if this was very reasonable, and then picked up Xu Qichen with the blanket.
“Hey! Aren’t I heavy?”
“What do you think? Little Ancestor.” Xia Zhixu frowned and carried him from the bedroom to the dining room, placing him on a chair. After shaking his hand, he said, “Thanks to your thinness. If you were any heavier, I wouldn’t be able to carry you anymore.”
The words ‘Little Ancestor’ suddenly reminded Xu Qichen of yesterday’s events, and his face started burning hot. He looked down at the table.
There were two bowls of noodles on the dining table, one bowl was topped with a poached egg, and sprinkled with a few drops of sesame oil that smelled particularly fragrant. Xu Qichen suddenly became hungry, took out his arms from the blanket, picked up the chopsticks, and stuffed a large mouthful of noodles into his mouth.
Xia Zhixu poured him a glass of milk and put it aside. “Eat slowly.” He took a bottle of chili oil from the refrigerator and pushed it to Xu Qichen’s end. “I bought it from the supermarket, I don’t know if it’s good or not. You can give it a try.”
Xu Qichen nodded and poured a few drops to taste it. “It’s delicious.” Then he poured a lot and mixed the noodles. Eating it made his whole body warm.
Xia Zhixu finished his meal first and walked to the entrance, taking a pair of slippers and placing them at Xu Qichen’s feet. Although he said nothing, Xu Qichen knew very well that he was worried about him walking barefoot on the cold floor.
After finishing the noodles and drinking the milk, Xu Qichen put on the slippers, wrapped his quilt around himself, and went to the living room. The structure of this room was very similar to that of Su Lin’s house, but it was much larger, and it also had a very beautiful and large French window.
“Did you buy this place?”
Xia Zhixu nodded. “Isn’t it nice?”
“En, it’s renovated very nicely.” Xu Qichen was looking at the light grey wallpapers and the blue-grey sofa.
“Then I’ll go and add your name to the property tomorrow.”
Xu Qichen paused, then laughed out loud. “Is it that simple?”
“I don’t know ah.” Xia Zhixu’s little tiger teeth peeked out, “I’ll ask. When I bought it, I thought you might like this place because of the windows.”
Xu Qichen sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the floor. Although the interior design was simple, at a glance, he could tell that it was not cheap.
After all, aside from the dining room, kitchen, and bathrooms, it was almost entirely carpeted.
The coffee table in front of the sofa is double-layered, with storage space underneath. Xu Qichen reached out and opened it, only to find that it was filled with candy of all kinds, looking extremely colourful.
He got up and walked to the TV cabinet, and found that it was also filled with candy.
“When did you buy this place?”
“Last year?” Xia Zhixu was clearing the dining table. “The start of last year, I think.”
“You bought a lot of candy,” Xu Qichen took out one from the glass jar and placed it in the palm of his hand to study it.
Xia Zhixu smiled and said, “Although I didn’t know if I could be with you at that time… Well, actually, there was no hope. But every time I went out alone and saw a candy store, I would involuntarily walk in and buy a lot to bring back.” Xia Zhixu lowered his head and smiled, “Although no one was eating, it would make me feel much better to have some at home.”
It was all to comfort himself.
“I also carry candy with me, so you don’t have to worry when we go out in the future.”
Probably because the first time they met, he couldn’t give him candy when he needed it the most, so he always felt regretful. That’s why he always kept candies on him, just in case they met again.
Xu Qichen quietly walked into the bedroom, put down the blanket, opened the wardrobe, randomly took out a set of home clothes, and found that they fit perfectly. He walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn’t help but lower his head and laugh, then quickly let out a sigh.
So silly.
Both of them.
Xia Zhixu finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. Suddenly, he heard Xu Qichen, who was watching TV, shout. So he quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Qichen turned his head and frowned at him, “I didn’t update yesterday.”
“You have to update every day?” Xia Zhixu wiped his hands and sat next to him, kissing his cheek. “That’s so difficult. Don’t write anymore.”
“No way,” Xu Qichen said seriously, holding a lollipop in his mouth. “It’s really rare for authors like me, who end almost every novel with a BE, to have so many readers and little angels like them. I can’t let them down.”
Xia Zhixu smiled and said, “So the way you don’t disappoint them is to continue sending blades and writing BE? Are your readers all masochists?”
Xu Qichen looked at him thoughtfully and said, “What you said makes sense.”
“Little Xu, let me discuss something with you,” Xia Zhixu grabbed his shoulder. “Look, we’re dating now, so don’t write BE anymore. At least don’t kill me, okay?”
Xu Qichen smiled around the lollipop and said, “I will consider it.”
“What else are you considering? Tell me, how comfortable is your life now? I work as your driver and nanny. I cover everything from taking a shower to cooking, and I can also solve your physiological problems. Please be kind and don’t kill me.”
Xu Qichen kicked him, his eyes curved into a smile. “Physiological problems? They’re your own needs!”
Xia Zhixu suddenly became unhappy. “No, who was bothering me yesterday and didn’t let go? Insisting on wuu…” Xu Qichen, who had thin skin, immediately covered his mouth.
“It’s not me!”
Xia Zhixu kept trying to talk. Xu Qichen refused to let go of his mouth and kept kicking him, “Stop! Talking! About! It!”
Xia Zhixu nodded mutely, raising his hands in surrender. Xu Qichen looked at him with narrowed eyes, then released him.
“You’re a completely different person before and after getting drunk,” Xia Zhixu complained. “It’s not even that shameful, but you won’t let me talk about it.”
Xu Qichen reached out to cover his mouth again, and Xia Zhixu quickly apologised, “Yes, it’s all me. It was me who forcefully attacked the pure angel Xu Qichen. I am an unforgivable beast in sheep’s clothing. I express my profound repentance and apology to little Xu, who was my victim. I hope you can forgive my crime.”
Hearing this, Xu Qichen laughed again, pulled out the lollipop, and kissed his mouth. He looked quite satisfied with his apology, and then casually stuffed the lollipop into Xia Zhixu’s mouth.
“Wu… what?”
Xu Qichen stretched lazily and lay on his side, resting on Xia Zhixu’s thigh. “I can’t finish it.”
How ridiculous.
Xia Zhixu touched his ear, it was white and soft as if there were many layers of dumpling skin.
There was a very popular variety show on TV, which is quite funny. Xu Qichen laughed as he watched it, shaking and grabbing Xia Zhixu’s knee. From time to time, he even laughed so much that he lay his head on his lap, trembling in laughter.
Xia Zhixu didn’t watch the program, but he felt very happy. This joyful mood filled his heart, turning it into a red hydrogen balloon that could float up to the sky anytime, anywhere.
This kind of scene was very familiar, not just because of the virtual world.
But because it often appeared in dreams that Xia Zhixu once classified as delusions.
“Qichen.”
Xu Qichen was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Xia Zhixu had called him that. This intimate feeling was very unlike those affectionate nicknames.
“What’s wrong?” He rolled over and lay down curiously looking at Xia Zhixu’s chin.
“Move in with me.” Xia Zhixu lowered his head and gently touched his hair, then grabbed his hand, his palms warm. “I want to live with you.”
This novel is now one of my favorite. It’s such a bittersweet story. To love someone to this extend people think it does not happen in real life. It does it’s rare but there. This is the first time i wanted them to live long in every arc. First time i didn’t wanted to move them to next world. Not just because story was different i like the writing too. Of course every artists think there more they can do with their piece but i think this one was just fine as it was. Cheesy, very cheesy but very sweet at the same time.
