Taking liberties with him as a form of revenge?
How should he do it? Cuddle up to Lu Xun and feel his chest and abdominal muscles that look so nice to touch?
Was this a plot of some weird little movie where you could openly make a move on your crush and they would even happily cooperate?
Ye Yao’s eyes drifted for a moment before he met Lu Xun’s gaze and could see the connivance in it.
“Well?” Lu Xun was still teasing Ye Yao, “Are you coming or not?”
“Splash…”
Water splashed everywhere as a large handful of it was scooped up and dumped onto Lu Xun. Lu Xun was caught off guard, he let go of Ye Yao’s face and took two steps backwards.
Ye Yao controlled himself and revealed a mocking smile, “Heheh.”
“Fine Ye Yao, sneaking an attack on me?” Lu Xun strode into the bath and tucked Ye Yaoโs neck under his arm as he leaned in, “So you want a water fight, come and let me see what you can do!”
In the warm pool water, their smooth skins directly came in contact. Ye Yao couldnโt tell where he touched Lu Xun. The pool water was like a big bed, in which he and Lu Xun were intertwined.
It was too close and too hot.
Such contact and rowdiness, it would have taken a miracle for Ye Yao not to have a physical reaction.
Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun out of the way and at the same time, his foot slipped and he sank into the water.
Before he could react, he was scooped up by a large hand supporting against his back.
“Are you okay?” Lu Xun, who was in front of him, frowned and leaned over, “Let me take a look.”
Seeing that their chests were about to touch each other, Ye Yao hurriedly pressed his hand against Lu Xunโs chest preventing him from getting any closer.
“What could even happen to me, this isn’t some bone dissolving pool,” Ye Yao said as he wiped the water off his face and tried to divert Lu Xun’s attention from him. His eyes quickly locked on a wooden bed nearby and he asked Lu Xun, “The furnishings here are quite different from what I imagined. Why is there a bed in the bath house? Is it for people who have passed out to rest?”
Lu Xun’s eyes averted to the bed just as Ye Yao had hoped. He glanced at the bed, the corners of his mouth curved upwards which he then forced back down. Finally unable to keep his face straight, he could only turn his head and silently laugh a few times.
That was not a bed for resting, in fact, that bed was used for when people scrubbed each other down. It seems that this fellow student Ye Yao knew nothing about what was going to happen.
The motherland had a vast territory and there were great differences in the regional customs.
“What are you laughing at?” Ye Yao wondered.
Lu Xun didnโt reply to Ye Yao’s question, instead he asked, “Can I scrub you down later?”
Ye Yao kept his guard up, “Just a back scrub.”
Lu Xun smiled a smile full of friendliness, “Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say, don’t you worry about me.”
When Ye Yao laid on it, would it not be him who would have a final say on what to do? Front and back, he could do as he pleased.
Lu Xun adjusted his position and leaned against the edge of the pool alongside Ye Yao. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could easily find Ye Yao’s figure, and even if he didnโt speak, just being in the same space made him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Xun took Ye Yao’s hand and held it as usual, and played with Ye Yao’s fingers, circling and releasing them.
Ye Yao was happy to see Lu Xun focus his attention on his hands rather than his body and he waited for his bodyโs reaction to completely subside before he pulled his hand back.
โI think this is enough,” Ye Yao said, “Let’s finish scrubbing each other’s backs and go back.”
Lu Xun was instantly in high spirits!
He stepped out of the water, walked over to the bed and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Yao.

“Your exclusive serviceman, Xiao Lu, at your service,” Lu Xun said in a deep voice, “Please lie down.”

Something was different that wasn’t quite what he had expected.
The back scrub here was actually not a back scrub where two people sit on a small bench, with their lower bodies nicely wrapped around by towels and expose only their backs in the name of friendship, why do they have to lie down ah?
Ye Yao thought quickly, taking into account the current situation, and in the blink of an eye understood what a real scrub-down in the bath was.
“I just remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to, so I’m leaving first.” Ye Yao came out of the pool and went straight to where he had put his clothes, only to be stopped halfway again.
Lu Xun had a friendly smile on his face, “Class leader, going back on your word is bad behavior, it takes away trust, that’s what you told me before, remember?”
“I’m very sorry about that.” Ye Yao tried to break away from Lu Xun’s hand around his waist, “But the Ye Yao, who promised to scrub down with you, has rested, I am his second personality, you can talk to him tomorrow. You can scrub by yourself.”
“…… Fuck.” Lu Xun couldn’t hold back his laughter, then with a force of his hand, he lifted the 1.8 meters tall Ye Yao off the ground and carried him to the bed.
Without the water as a shield, the young and energetic body was in full view.
The object of the bed itself was easily reminiscent of other things specially when neither of them had an inch of clothes on.
Ye Yao stiffened uncontrollably and casted his eyes over Lu Xun’s shoulder and behind him.
Lu Xun’s palms were still attached to the back of his waist, and the hot temperature of his hands seemed to melt the flesh there.
Lu Xun initially wanted to push Ye Yao down and get him ready for the rub, but Ye Yao’s tautness was a clear indication of his unease.
Lu Xun thought about it and sat down beside Ye Yao, while withdrawing his hand that was on Ye Yao’s body and resting it on his lap in a disciplined manner.
Ye Yao breathed a visible sigh of relief.
“Why are you still so uncomfortable with me?” Lu Xun asked softly.
“Iโm not used to it.” Ye Yao said.
“Just because you’re not used to it?” Lu Xun turned his head, his dark eyes, which usually gave an oppressive feeling due to their shape, looked firmly at Ye Yao, but he quickly smiled, dispelling the oppressive feeling.
Lu Xun’s voice to him was still low and gentle, but his eyes were a little dangerous, “Do you know why I want to take a bath with you to deepen our relationship? You’ve been acting a bit strange towards me lately, is it because you have other friends and don’t want to be with me anymore?”
Ye Yao’s heart skipped a beat.
He didn’t expect Lu Xun, who was usually carefree, to be so perceptive in this regard. He was already very careful and thought he hadn’t revealed anything, but Lu Xun still noticed something.
“Nonsense, when have I ever not wanted to be with you?” Ye Yao steadied himself, “And where’s this strange attitude coming from, why don’t I know?”
Lu Xun looked like he was waiting for these words and suddenly narrowed his eyes, “How dare you say that, you have to hesitate to take a sip of my water and sleep with your back to me at night, my heart is broken by you, just tell me how are you going to make up for it?”
“……”
Ye Yao, “What do you want?”
Lu Xun hugged his arms, “What do you think, am I not here to deepen my relationship with you?”
Ye Yao was silent and Lu Xun did not force him, giving him enough time to prepare. Finally, Ye Yao sighed and slowly laid down.
Lu Xun felt his heart melting from the cuteness of Ye Yao, and the corners of his mouth lifted in happiness.
Ye Yao knew Lu Xun well enough to realize that something was wrong: “Are you setting me up for a trap here?”
“How can I do this classmate Ye, am I such a person?” Lu Xun smiled as he pushed Ye Yao down, his smile not showing the sadness he had shown just now, “Lie down, I’ll start now.”
Ye Yao laid flat on the bed, subconsciously thankful that his front was blocked from the other party but realized in the next second that his entire back was exposed under Lu Xunโs eyes.
Ye Yao turned his head and looked behind him and saw Lu Xun standing behind him without any cover, staring straight at his backโฆor rather, at the lower part of his back.
Goosebumps appeared all over Ye Yaoโs body along with the thoughts that he couldnโt see. He immediately turned over and got out of bed but was pinned down by Lu Xun.
โI am not going to run away, I just want to put on my underwear.โ Ye Yao explained.
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, โWear underwear? Go outside and ask, who wears underwear when taking a bath? Youโre joking.โ
Ye Yao gritted his teeth: โIf I donโt need to wear it, anyway, you have to wear it. Donโt be standing behind me like thisโฆdangling.”
Lu Xun was amused by Ye Yaoโs words. He looked at Ye Yao, then looked down at himself and laughed out loud. In the end, in order to prevent Ye Yao from feeling uncomfortable by the thing he was dangling about, Lu Xun obediently put on a pair of underwear.
Only then did Ye Yao lay face down on his stomach. He buried his face between his arms, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. As long as his eyes couldnโt see, nothing would happen.
There were big hands pinching his earlobes, then he heard that attractive voice that he liked,
โThen Iโll be starting now.โ
โ—–
Ye Yaoโs skin was really white, and after being soaked in the bath water, it gave out a lustrous sheen on it.
It looked really clean, and he was actually really clean. After being scrubbed, there was no dirt, but his skin turned red.
Lu Xun looked at Ye Yaoโs body carefully, for fear of missing any reaction from Ye Yao.
Lu Xunโs heart was full of unspeakable contentment.
Finally seeing all of Ye Yao, and letting Ye Yao see all of him, there was no more unfamiliarity between them.
He was the only person to have such a contact with Ye Yao and such a special thing was enough to make his heart feel warm.
The place where Lu Xun rubbed gradually moved from the back to the waist.
The waist down was one of Ye Yaoโs most private parts.
Ye Yao looked good no matter which part of him he could see, and the place that had never seen the sun was even more dazzling.
Itโs just that, the location was special. If he looked at it more, it would look very disrespectful to Ye Yao, so Lu Xun deliberately avoided looking at it. He averted his eyes back to Ye Yaoโs back that was rubbed by him and felt the temperature and strength through the bath towel.
Rubbing the towel down at random, Lu Xun saw something and a smile appeared in his eyes.
There were two small back dimples, sunken in the white body, forming two shadows, making the flesh next to them softer, enticing those who had seen them to poke them.
Would it feel soft if he pressed it?
It was like there were ghosts controlling him, and Lu Xun put his bare hand on them. Holding the white slender waist with his warm big hand, Lu Xun pressed his thumbs into the small dimples and massaged it gently.
So soft.
This was Lu Xunโs first thought, and at the same time, the body he was holding suddenly trembled.
โ——–
Ye Yao was really convinced that he could control himself.
He was lying on his stomach and reciting the Tao Te Ching in silence. He had successfully recited this and he had calmed his desires now. He was just feeling relieved that he was about to get through this crisis of bathing, when Lu Xun suddenly hit a sensitive point that he didnโt even know he had.
After pressing it for the first time, it seemed that it was enough. Lu Xun continued to press and knead, and seemed to have a strong interest in the dips on his back.
The ache of being pressed and another kind of itching that made Ye Yaoโs scalp tingle continued to hit him in waves. At the same time, Ye Yao found in a panic that even when he had no bad thoughts at all, he couldnโt control it. It physiologically produces a certain response.
Behind him was Lu Xun, and he didnโt even have a piece of clothing to cover his body. As long as he turned around, Lu Xun would see whatโs wrong with him at a glance.
Of course Ye Yao knew that he could tell Lu Xun the real reason truthfully, and Lu Xun, who is also a man would understand him. But as long as he wanted him and Lu Xun to be completely bare and face to face, with Lu Xun staring at him looking at the wrong place, Ye Yao was so embarrassed that his toes were curled up and he wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit himself to death.
No, he must find a way to avert Lu Xunโs attention from that area.
Thinking so, Ye Yao turned slightly and pressed Lu Xunโs hand that was still messing around, โAre you trying to bully me because Iโm new to this? This is definitely not something a regular scrub down includes.โ
Lu Xun raised his head, a smile appeared on his handsome face, โItโs definitely not.โ
Lu Xun answered too confidently. Ye Yao was silent for a while and let go of Lu Xunโs hand. Lu Xun was standing on the left side of the bed, Ye Yao turned to the right, slightly propped up his upper body and prepared to get out of bed.
โYouโve already scrubbed my back, now itโs your turn, come and lie down and Iโll put on some pants.โ Ye Yao said.
When Lu Xun laid on the bed from the left side, he had already left from the right side to get dressed, just to avoid the embarrassment this time.
Ye Yao was thinking about the course of action for a while when he heard a chuckle.
โWho said youโre done?โ
A hand was placed on Ye Yaoโs shoulder. Ye Yao followed that hand and looked up and saw his friend who used to be the school bully, showing his classic wicked smile every time he did bad things.
โYou donโt really think that I would just rub your back for you?โ
Ye Yao, โ?!โ
The hand on Ye Yaoโs shoulder used some clever technique to lay Ye Yao on his side and turn him into a lying position.
โThe stomach in front, of course, has to be scrubbedโโ
Lu Xunโs smiling voice stopped abruptly, and the smile on his lips froze slightly.
It may sound hypocritical, but Lu Xun always felt that Ye Yao was synonymous with pure heart and few desires, and was different from other bastard men.
So every time he saw other peopleโs fantasies about Ye Yao, even if theyโre well-meaning and likable, he would feel uncomfortable.
The reason for this impression came from Ye Yaoโs face and personality and also from Ye Yaoโs usual attention and care to privacy in that respect.
Of course every male would have physiological reactions, not to mention that they often sleep together, he should know Ye Yao very well. But in retrospect, Ye Yao would cleverly avoid his sight and touch at this time to avoid possible embarrassment.
In other words, this was the first time Lu Xun had faced Ye Yaoโs desires.
The pure white was stained with worldly colors, and Lu Xunโs original views on Ye Yao hadย been impacted. This did not disappoint him, nor did he feel disillusioned with anger.
He was filled with indescribable excitement, which started from his heart, flowed through blood into his limbs, and quickly spread throughout his body.
He saw a more comprehensive Ye Yao that he had never seen before.
Only he could see this private and hidden side of Ye Yao.
Lu Xun didnโt know what his expression looked like right now, so he could only try his best to restrain himself and not let himself be too excited or look too strange. Ye Yao stared at him for a moment then suddenly looked away, rolled over and got out of bed before striding away.
However, before he could take two steps, Ye Yao was hugged from behind.
Lu Xun wrapped an arm around Ye Yaoโs thin waist, and the warm skin and flesh were touching each other. It was a normal contact, but Lu Xunโs mind seemed to explode with fireworks.
Thousands of words, all kinds of excitement and all kinds of thoughts, finally converged into one sentence.
Lu Xun lowered his head slightly, put his lips close to Ye Yaoโs ears, and said hoarsely,
โWhy are you running? Iโll help you.โ

Fellas, is it gay to jerk off your homie who you just felt up in a two person bath?
Actually I asked the same question with a few of my straight-but-open minded best guy friends. Some said, ehh?? never happened, and majority said, they actually do it for fun, like.. “fuck im horny as hell and gunna jerk off someone help me off..” and so the conversation went astray after that, recalling their stuff and trying to call those friends who weren’t present to reminisce with them… while continued drinking..” My sneer never went down after that.. Of course, i have rich materials for blackmail now hahahaha.
