Thank you for 100 ko-fis! Here’s a bonus chapter for you guys <3
Lu Huan walked over to the bed, looking down at Yu Baihan.
In a silent exchange, Yu Bai swallowed the hawthorn in his mouth and inquired cautiously, “Why is Dr. Lu here?”
Lu Huan glanced at the scattered hawthorn candy wrappers on the bed and chuckled lightly, “Just unlucky, I suppose.”
Yu Baihan, “…”
Trying to sound composed, he clutched Lu Huan’s clothes at the side, lowered his gaze, and asked slowly, “Why?”
Lu Huan wiped his mouth’s remnants with his hand, “Why not? Our Baihan hasbeen delayed from eating.”
“……”
Ah, Dr. Lu has a peculiar sense of humor.
He had gotten so excited earlier that he forgot to report Dr. Lu’s safe return, prompting him to come back all the way.
Yu Baihan got up and hugged Lu Huan’s neck. The faint whiff of alcohol was still there, and he nestled against Lu Huan’s shoulder, “It’s perfect that you’re back. Patient Bai Han’s stomach is acting up again; Doctor Lu, please soothe it.”
Adam’s apple in front of his eyes moved.
Soon, a hand rested on his waist, gently pulling him away. Lu Huan looked down at him carefully. “Is it really hurting?”
“Yeah.” Blushing, Yu Bai took Lu Huan’s hand, lifted the hem of his pajamas, and placed the hand on his stomach.
Lu Huan’s fingertips seemed to hesitate for a moment, then settled into position.
Yu Baihan took advantage and laid down.
Lu Huan began to clear the candy wrappers scattered on the bed, kneeling on one knee. He supported Yu Baihan’s side with one hand, gently massaging his stomach in a soothing motion with the other.
The warmth of Lu Huan’s palm and the texture of his fingertips were comforting.
Yu Baihan relaxed, rubbing against the quilt with his belly exposed and his face turned to the side.
Lu Huan’s voice came from above his head, “Is it because you ate too much?”
He squinted, “Yeah.”
Then, the fingertips pressed on his waist, rubbing firmly, a bit of a reprimand in the pressure, “Every day, can’t you control yourself?”
Yu Bai shivered, his waist arching up involuntarily and sinking back into the quilt. He placed his hand on Lu Huan’s wrist, looking up at him. Lu Huan was leaning over him, his forehead slightly disheveled. The room’s lighting was dim, and the soft light by the head of the bed wrapped around them.
Lu Huan’s normally serious face was flushed from the alcohol, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes.
Yu Baihan’s heart raced as he looked at him like this, and his vision began to blur. “Yeah,” he breathed.
The hand on his stomach paused.
After a couple of seconds, warm breath brushed over his head as Lu Huan leaned down, casting a shadow. He pressed against Yu Baihan and kissed him.
Mnn……
It was not the first time they kissed, both of them were more skilled than before. Almost as soon as the lips were attached, Yu Baihan consciously opened his lips to let Lu Huan’s tongue in.
The slightly drunk smell of wine mixed with the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn, seems to ferment rapidly in the dim and ambiguous light.
At some point, that hand slid to the side, and wrapped around Yu Baihan’s waist with one hand.
Yu Bai was trapped under the quilt, this was the first time he was pressed on the bed and sucked kisses. He opened his eyes slightly, and saw that Lu Huan’s face was still flushed, but the kiss was fierce——
Doctor Lu was shy, but his movements were strong and ruthless.
He raised his legs unconsciously, and then felt the other party’s breathing suddenly increase.
When the deep kiss surrounded by clouds and mist was about to end, Yu Baihan suddenly raised his hand to Lu Huan’s shoulder, and hummed shortly, “Mmm, wait a minute.”
Lu Huan raised his head slightly, his eyes still stained with lust. “What’s wrong?”
Yu Baihan’s eyelashes were steamed, he stretched out his hand to hold his stomach, and buried his head in embarrassment. “My stomach, it’s heavy.”
After he finished speaking, he added, “I mean being fried on skewers.”
Lu Huan, “…”
After a long silence, a sigh suddenly fell.
The shadow above the head is gone. Lu Huan stood up and squeezed the center of his brows, and like a hard-working wronged child, he took away the hawthorn candy paper that fell from his side one by one.
The uneaten hawthorn was also taken away.
Lu Huan was strict, “You can’t eat anymore.”
Yu Baihan lay obediently on the bed, “Oh.”
Lu Huan packed his things and turned to look at him before going out. The roots of the ears are red, and the meaning of the deep eyes is unknown.
Yu Baihan’s breathing was short, and he put his head on his stomach, “Huh?”
Lu Huan stared at him for a few seconds, looked away, pressed the doorknob with his hand, and said in a low voice, “Go to bed early, Maka-Baihan.”
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out.
Click, the door closes.
…
Lu Huan exited the bedroom and opted not to return to his own room.
He descended the stairs and disposed of the candy wrappers, placing the hawthorn into the fruit bowl in the living room.
Then, he took determined steps toward the terrace.
Wow—the glass door swung open.
A substantial and dignified silhouette stepped onto the terrace.
The elderly butler was jolted by the sound of the door, snapping out of his deep contemplation. He turned, spotting Lu Huan at the door, and inquired with astonishment, “When did the master return!?”
Lu Huan regarded him intently, “Why the solemn face?”
Uncle Feng, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows once more, “Sir, do you believe hawthorn makes you feel full or hungry?”

As expected, the speech video was updated on the official website of C University.
Yu Baihan began to watch it carefully.
——Full of eloquence and style.
He wondered how Senior Lu would feel when looking back at it in ten years.
Lost in thought, he moved his fingers and saved the video.
After saving the video, he tried to find some behind-the-scenes snippets on the official website. After a thorough search, he couldn’t locate them. So, when Lu Huan returned home from work that night, Yu Baihan approached him with his computer.
“Senior Lu, where can I find the behind-the-scenes snippets?”
Lu Huan was loosening his tie, and upon hearing the question, he turned to look.
Yu Baihan’s eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity. “Hurry up, my hands are getting sore.”
Lu Huan took the computer with one hand and set it aside.
As he loosened his tie, he wore a calm expression, as if he had anticipated this, “I don’t think they’ve been edited yet.”
Yu Baihan was a bit surprised, “Oh, I see. After all, it was produced exclusively by Dean Chen without a dedicated team.”
He hugged the computer once more and said, “I’ll keep checking for a few more days.”
With that, the hopeful figure walked out of the room, and the door closed firmly!
Inside the room, Lu Huan was left standing, “…”
…
After a few days, Yu Baihan finally found the tidbits.
He playfully opened a bag of potato chips and dragged Lu Huan to watch them together. “Your tidbits, come quick!”
The casual and playful atmosphere was reminiscent of watching a variety show.
Lu Huan glanced at him quietly and then sat down beside him.
The two of them settled on the sofa in the living room, and the video started in an office at the business school.
In the center of the video, Lu Huan’s figure came into view, surrounded by several mentors engaged in conversation. They were probably inquiring about the current situation and asking him to convey a message to his juniors and younger siblings.
Lu Huan maintained his usual relaxed demeanor, though his responses were brief and carried the same air of aloofness as the Gaoling flowers of old.
…
Yu Baihan sighed, “It’s quite intriguing, senior.”
The next moment, a piece of potato chip found its way into his mouth. He raised his eyes to see Lu Huan’s thin lips pursed tightly, and he decided to remain silent, focusing on the video.
Well, I’m still a bit shy.
Several people were engaged in conversation in the video, when suddenly the office door swung open, revealing Professor Li.
Then the video abruptly cut.
Yu Baihan was caught off guard:
Was this when Professor Li interrupted Lu Huan?
The video resumed immediately.
The scene had shifted outdoors. Judging from the background, they had just left the Liberal Arts building. Dean Chen’s phone was pointed at another faculty member, and their conversation was audible.
“Why did you go to the Liberal Arts building?”
“Xiao Lu was handling some household matters.”
The screen switched back to Lu Huan.
As the camera passed by, Lu Huan had just set down his phone. Presumably aware that Dean Chen was filming, Lu Huan looked up in his usual composed manner, though his earlobes were slightly tinged with red.
Despair. Yu Baihan hit the playback button.
Wait, was Lu Huan reading his message at this point?
As he leaned closer, his hand was intercepted. Lu Huan, beside him, extended his hand to fast-forward the video, causing the screen to rapidly advance.
Yu Baihan turned to him, “What are you up to?”
Lu Huan pushed him lightly, “Nothing.”
Yu Baihan narrowed his eyes, examining the situation, “Ah, I see.”
He got caught red-handed and is now trying to cover it up.
Did they hit the nail on the head? Lu Huan was undoubtedly reading his text.
He chuckled to himself, glanced at the video, and inquired again, “Why did you cut out that part in the middle?”
Lu Huan closed the video by saying, “It delved into personal matters and wasn’t suitable for public viewing.”
“Really.” Yu Baihan propped up his face, examining left and right, and said, “I thought our senior Lu was just feeling bashful and didn’t want Dean Chen to see.”
Lu Huan’s composure wavered for a moment, then he pulled away the chicken claw, pressed his temples, and regained his calm. “That’s not the case.”
Yu Baihan relented, “Alright, I’ll take your word for it~”
—
A week after the summer camp concluded, the beginning of the school year was drawing near.
He Yue sent Yu Baihan a message, inquiring if he would return to school when the new term began.
Yu Baihan responded on WeChat.
[Yu Er]: I’ll probably drop by occasionally. [bird runs.jpg]
He had finished listening to the new courses, and for the remaining few months, he would focus on reviewing at home instead of attending school.
Once back in He Yue’s apartment, he switched back to his old Monster Hunting account.
Just as he logged in, a small red notification dot caught his eye.
[Urban Eccentric Tan]: Mr. Lu from Xiaohan’s is truly amazing^_^
“……”
It seemed that Lu Huan’s secret wasn’t so secret anymore.
Yu Baihan replied cheerfully.
[Yu Baihan]: Huh? What do you mean^_^
After sending the message, he chuckled at the “^_^” and mused:
This yin and yang fake smile really won his heart~
It was a weekend afternoon, and Lu Huan happened to be at home. Yu Baihan grabbed his phone and went to find him in Lu Huan’s master bedroom.
He pushed the door open and stepped in, only to find Lu Huan in formal attire, just finishing fastening his belt.
Yu Baihan leaned in, “Heading out?”
“Yeah.” Lu Huan turned to face him and said, “There’s a business reception later. What’s up?”
“No big deal, just wanted to show you this.”
Yu Baihan showed him the message from Si Tan, “Hehehe… It seems my older brother has been causing her some trouble during this time.”
Lu Huan seemed to smile too, “The Si family is in quite a situation. Si Yanting can’t log into the game for the time being, and he lost a significant portion of his assets. For him, it’s like losing a limb.”
“Got it.” Yu Baihan closed the conversation box with a casual air.
Whether one enters the game early or late, ultimately, all rebels will find themselves ensnared in the system’s cage.
Yu Baihan was about to switch back to his gaming account when Lu Huan suddenly inquired, “Is this your old account?”
Yu Baihan replied, “Yes.”
He turned to find Lu Huan’s gaze fixed on his screen, noticing not just the Fazhi family but also chat records with Qi Jue and Qin Lun in the frequently used list.
Lu Huan remarked casually, “Oh, I didn’t add it.”
Yu Baihan observed his nonchalant expression and suddenly recalled the payment code he had accidentally revealed when they added each other on WeChat.
Ah, the two-faced ATM Lu was still nursing a grudge.
He brought up the QR code. “Do you want to add it?”
Lu Huan took out his phone. “Anything is fine.”
*Beep!* Their chat dialogue has now been added to the list.
This time, Yu Baihan didn’t bother changing the nickname. He knew that whether they chatted on the old account or the new one, it didn’t really matter.
After becoming friends, he exited WeChat.
The eyes that had been fixed on his screen slowly retracted.
Yu Baihan pocketed his phone, turned to see Lu Huan in formal attire, and was about to ask him about the reception, when the person in front of him suddenly leaned in closer—
He froze.
Lu Huan leaned towards his neck, asking, “Did you put on perfume?”
“Sun Yiqing gave it to me. I just wiped it off after my shower.” Yu Baihan grabbed his collar playfully, pointing, “You really didn’t take a good whiff last time! Here’s another chance, do you like it?”
As he spoke, he pulled Lu Huan towards him.
Lu Huan leaned close to his shoulder, and his warm breath wafted up. Then, he encircled Yu Baihan’s waist with both hands, gently pulling him closer.
Yu Baihan’s heart raced, “Does it smell good?”
“Hmm.” A deep voice responded close to his ear. The warm lips brushed against the delicate skin on the side of his neck, as if testing it.
A surge of warmth spread from the base of his neck in an instant.
Yu Baihan tugged at Lu Huan’s changed clothes, raising his head and trembling slightly. He couldn’t help but expose his neck, craving more.
Since that kiss, something seemed to have been awakened within him, making him more susceptible to emotional arousal.
He exhaled softly, “Lu Huan…”
Their waists pressed together tightly, their irregular breaths mingling in the hollow of their shoulders. Lu Huan’s lips once again descended, and he opened his lips to enclose the thin flesh on the side of his neck, just about to exert force——
The phone on the bedside vibrated suddenly.
Lu Huan halted, closing his eyes and calming his breath, slowly releasing his grasp on Yu Baihan’s lips.
The abrupt end to that fleeting indulgence left Yu Baihan gazing at Lu Huan, whose cheeks were flushed. The desire still smoldered in the depths of the other’s eyes. Yu Baihan glanced up at him, then turned his head to retrieve his phone.
That single glance sent Yu Baihan’s heart racing.
He exhaled quietly, feeling a wave of heat:
Senior Lu… seems quite dissatisfied.
The bedroom fell into a quiet moment, and then Lu Huan spoke, “It’s time for me to head to the banquet.”
Yu Baihan turned to look at him, noticing Lu Huan’s reddened neck visible from the neckline, the same hue appearing between the dark strands of his hair.
It was tantalizing.
A lingering hint of citrus clung to the tingling neck.
Yu Baihan playfully rubbed his head and asked, “Aren’t you wearing some perfume, the one Xiao Sun gave you?”
Lu Huan straightened his clothes and turned his head, “It’s Sanwu perfume.”
… Sanwu perfume, really!
Yu Baihan couldn’t resist a teasing accusation, “Xiao Sun always sends you the good stuff, doesn’t he?”
“……”
Lu Huan responded, “Since when has he ever sent something serious?”
Yu Baihan saw through it, “Heh.”
Deny all you want, but you do enjoy it every time, don’t you?
He turned and left without further words, “Don’t forget to apply it.”
Boom! The bedroom door closed.
Lu Huan stood in the room for a few seconds, then turned toward the bookcase. He reached out and opened a drawer, eyeing the perfume resting inside.
A soft, warm imprint was still on his lips.
And a touch of citrus.
He gazed at it for a while, then took the perfume out.
—
The reception extended from the evening until ten o’clock at night.
By the time Lu Huan arrived home, it was already past eleven. The reception involved numerous toasts and drinks, and the warmth now crept up his throat.
A subtle blend of alcohol and the fragrance of his perfume filled the air.
The perfume carried hints of sandalwood blended with a touch of floral notes—warm, sophisticated, leaving a lingering presence around him.
Loosening his collar, Lu Huan stepped into the house. As he entered the living room, the familiar sound of audiobook narration reached his ears from the adjacent hall. Sprinkled amidst the narration were some new expressions that caught his attention.
“He ensnared them in his embrace. The cool aroma of cedar mixed with a sweet milky fragrance—the scent of pheromones.”
“The moment these scents intermingled, both of them were driven by instinct to kiss each other!”
“Guided by pheromones, they conversed, discussed, and talked endlessly…”
Lu Huan:?
The subtle perfume scent still lingered at the tip of his nose.
He furrowed his brow, entering the side hall with his typical wariness regarding the gift sender. He interrupted Uncle Feng, asking, “What exactly are pheromones?”
Uncle Feng’s aged face paled upon hearing the question and he stood up, flustered, struggling to find words. “…It’s a unique scent that induces those exposed to it to act instinctively… um, a particular substance.”
After finishing, he noticed Lu Huan’s earnest expression. He lowered his gaze, pondered for a moment, then turned and ascended the stairs.
From the top of the staircase, a faint voice rang out, “Got it.”
Uncle Feng:?
Unexpectedly, his master found interest in the fictional ABO dynamics.
…
Upstairs, Yu Baihan was engrossed in a book in his room when he suddenly recognized the familiar footsteps approaching from the corridor outside.
Excited, he thought to himself: Commander Lu is back late!
Swiftly, he rose and opened the door to step out, catching sight of Lu Huan walking towards him. A portion of his reddened neck was exposed from his loosened collar—whether it was from wine or desire, Yu Baihan couldn’t quite tell.
Eagerly, he hastened his steps and moved closer.
However, the Commander Lu he was anticipating didn’t immediately acknowledge him; instead, he focused on his phone with a serious expression, engrossed in sending a message to someone.
He didn’t even acknowledge his “radish”!
Yu Baihan quickened his steps and threw himself into Lu Huan’s arms, playfully pushing himself into the “radish pit,” exclaiming, “Radish assault—!”
The body he hugged seemed to startle.
A slightly flustered heartbeat emanated from Lu Huan’s chest. Soon, one arm wrapped around Yu Baihan’s waist, holding him in place for a moment, as if considering lifting him away. “Don’t be mischievous,” Lu Huan cautioned.
Yu Baihan blinked in confusion, raising his head to rest his chin on Lu Huan’s chest, looking up with an accusing tone, “You’re so indifferent today, as if we’ve never been in love.”
Before Lu Huan could respond, he caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance from the other. Yu Baihan was momentarily stunned, then buried his head in surprise, taking two deep breaths, and mumbled, “It smells so good.”
Lu Huan’s grip on his neck tightened slightly, and a restrained voice cascaded from above, “Si Baihan…”
The light scent of citrus flowers hadn’t yet faded from him. Combined with Lu Huan’s natural scent, it created an unexpectedly pleasant aroma.
Lu Huan lifted him slightly, but didn’t let him go, tracing his fingertips along the side of Yu Baihan’s neck with a lingering fondness.
Yu Baihan keenly sensed that this was where their pecking and kissing had been interrupted earlier, making his heart shy yet joyful:
Commander Lu wasn’t satisfied…
Was it on his mind during the reception?
Truly, one couldn’t predict people.
He tilted his neck playfully, giving Lu Huan a tender look, “Kiss.”
Lu Huan’s eyes instantly darkened, as if a floodgate had opened to release his pent-up emotions. He reached out, pulled Yu Baihan closer, lowered his head, and lightly nibbled.
“Hmm…” Yu Baihan winced a bit and held onto Lu Huan’s waist tightly.
What’s going on? Commander Lu is quite assertive today.
The bite on the hollow of his shoulder eased, and the grip around his waist momentarily tightened before soothingly caressing.
Yu Baihan closed his eyelashes, sensing Lu Huan’s tumultuous and conflicting emotions, mixed with restrained affection. Amidst the pulsing sensations, he tugged at Lu Huan’s clothes gently, “It’s alright, I enjoy a little fierceness…”
“Don’t tease.” The slightly strained voice cut off his words, and Lu Huan released his lips, as if wrestling with something.
Yu Baihan patted him lightly, “What’s the matter?”
It was just a kiss; why did it seem to have escalated to a profound level of significance?
The weighty breath brushed against his shoulder in a repetitive pattern. Lu Huan’s exposed ears turned crimson, and he hid his face in his arms, murmuring, “There are pheromones on my body.”
“…………”
Yu Baihan was bewildered: What did he hear???
Hehe, Uncle Feng has a wide variety of audiobooks. Lu Huan learned a new word today 😂
He learned the word but not it’s definition. 😄
