Yu Baihan’s gaze fixed on the overturned black umbrella and Si Wei’s rain-soaked countenance.
While he was observing, his earlobe was playfully pinched by his fingertips.
Yu Baihan turned to see Lu Huan, who was looking at him from the side, asking, “Teacher Baihan, how was it?”
Lu Huan carefully gauged his expression, resembling a diligent student awaiting their test scores.
Yu Baihan leaned over, resting his forehead and curving his lips, “Teacher Baihan is very pleased.”
The rain that had drenched him was now repaid to Si Wei multiple times over.
They exchanged glances, their warm breaths intertwining.
Lu Huan’s eyelashes drooped, and he leaned forward involuntarily. He lifted his chin slightly, but the kiss slipped away—
Yu Baihan suddenly pulled back, leaned back in his chair, and grinned mischievously at Lu Huan.
Lu Huan widened his eyes in surprise, as if asking: No kiss?
Yu Baihan’s face reddened under his gaze, and he cupped Lu Huan’s face with his hands, resisting the urge to kiss him, “Let’s continue the game.”
Lu Huan, “…”
Yu Baihan calculated: save a little, double the joy~
…
It was four in the afternoon.
Perhaps due to the Qiongshan incident and the subsequent aftermath, Lu Huan answered a call and had to go out once again.
Seeing Lu Huan donning formal attire, Yu Baihan sat on the beanbag sofa and inquired, “If you go out now, when will you be back tonight?”
He was still in his summer pajamas, his slender legs curled up in front of him. Poking his head towards Lu Huan, his chin rested on his knees, and his dark hair cascaded across his cheeks.
Lu Huan fastened his belt and turned around, looking at him for a few seconds, then turned back and gently touched his cheek, “Maybe around ten o’clock.”
“Oh…” Yu Baihan rubbed Lu Huan’s palm and raised his eyes to him, a hint of anticipation in them, reminding him, “Don’t be too late, remember to come back for your reward.”
The hand covering his cheek slightly retreated.
Lu Huan lowered his eyes, his breathing a bit uneven. “Yes.”
—
The aftermath was more intricate than anticipated.
It was already half-past nine when Lu Huan finished handling things that night. He checked the time and instructed Fan Lin to drive, “Let’s go home.”
“Yes, sir.”
The private car traveled from the company to Lu’s house, the streetlights flickering and casting their glow into the back seat.
Lu Huan leaned back and turned on his phone, but there were no messages from Yu Baihan. He let out a sigh and gazed out the window.
After a while, he said, “You can drive a bit faster.”
Fan Lin, in front, glanced at him quietly through the rearview mirror, hesitant to speak. “Yes.”
He suppressed his questions: Hadn’t the sir set a speed limit?
It was already a quarter past ten when the private car broke through the night and stopped outside the gates of Lu’s house. Lu Huan got out of the car and glanced towards the master bedroom. Warm light seeped through the curtains.
His heart fluttered, he pursed his lower lip, and he walked towards the door.
Opening the door and stepping inside, he passed through the living room and ascended to the second floor.
When Lu Huan stepped into the hallway, his heart started to race. He took a few steps to the bedroom door. There seemed to be no movement in the room, and his heart sank slightly.
…Could it be that he’s already asleep?
After a pause, Lu Huan pressed the doorknob with one hand and pushed the door open.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Warm light spilled out gradually through the partially open door, enveloping him. The light shimmered, and the top of his black hair emerged from behind the door—

Lu Huan’s heart raced again. “It’s a bit late.” He explained in a soft voice, reached out to push the door open, and was about to embrace him, when the door swung open, and Yu Baihan was standing at the door in his pajamas.
It was different from the last time in broad daylight.
The lighting was dim now, and the atmosphere was charged with ambiguity.
Lu Huan merely glanced down and then averted his gaze, his ears turning red as he breathed erratically.
Yu Baihan noticed that he was still standing at the doorway, so he extended his hand to pull him in, raised his hand, and closed the door with a resounding “bang”, whispering, “Go take a bath.”
Lu Huan’s gaze returned to his face, and he curled his fingertips. “Okay.”
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the bathroom, his seemingly calm back revealing a hint of haste.
Yu Baihan sat on the edge of the bed.
Filled with excitement, he continued to wait, observing Commander Lu who emerged from the water.
A quarter of an hour later, the bathroom door swung open.
Lu Huan emerged, swathed in a bathrobe, his half-damp hair appearing to have been hastily combed, a veil of steam enveloping his entire figure.
Yu Baihan looked at him, meeting the sparkle in his eyes. Mixed with the humid warmth of the bathroom and the thoughts he couldn’t calm down from the afternoon, they were deep and bright.
He promptly stood up, “There’s a [Bai Han’s Mysterious Reward] waiting for you to claim. Would you like to accept it now?”
Lu Huan paused in front of him, his gaze lowered, and he murmured, “Yes.”
Yu Baihan blushed, then “crashed” from the quilt beside him – the white shirt and the shiny black tie clip caught Lu Huan’s eye.
The tie clip was still dangling in mid-air.
“…” Lu Huan stared at Yu Baihan.
Yu Baihan bashfully shook the shirt toward him, “Put this on first.”
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Huan took it and put it on. He was about to lower his head to fasten the button but was stopped by Yu Baihan once again. The latter came over and tied the middle two buttons for him.
A tuft of hair peeped out from under the eyelids, giving an impression of premeditation.
Yu Baihan adjusted Lu Huan’s shirt and then ushered him onto the bed, where he sat down. He knelt down and picked up the tie clip, “You…”
Just as he began speaking, he saw Lu Huan kneel down cooperatively.
Yu Baihan sighed helplessly: What kind of self-awareness is this?
He raised his hand and pressed down on Lu Huan’s knee, “I appreciate your kindness.” He spoke as he fastened the tie clip to Lu Huan, lowering his eyes shyly, “But this time, it’s you who will help Baihan tie it.”
Lu Huan’s breathing suddenly became erratic, and his hand beside him seemed to tremble imperceptibly. His gaze fell, as if being dazzled by a bright light, the faint blush rapidly spreading from the roots of his ears to his neck.
Lu Huan turned his eyes away, his lips dry, “Then what’s the point of asking me to wear a shirt?”
Yu Bai’s eyes brimmed with eagerness, “A little theatricality.”
It was good to create a sharp surprise.
“……”
After a few seconds’ pause, Lu Huan turned around and reached out to take it.
Yu Baihan leaned forward slightly, pulling at the hem of Lu Huan’s pajamas.
The black stripes adorned Lu Huan’s slender fingers, exuding a certain charm. It’s just that the veins on the back of his hands stood out, displaying his nervousness.
Lu Huan lowered his eyes and bit his lip, his expression focused, and his breath uneven.
Midway through tying, Yu Baihan’s eyes wandered over Lu Huan’s figure, his face suddenly heating up. He looked at Lu Huan and pretended to reproach, “What’s the matter, Xiao Lu? When I helped you with the tie, you didn’t mind.”
Wasn’t it peaceful on your birthday?
Lu Huan’s face turned crimson, but when he looked up, his deep eyes revealed a fierce light.
He gazed at Yu Baihan. “Is it the same?”
Yu Baihan’s heart raced under his gaze.
Oh, it’s different…
Whether it’s the mood of the two times or the subject of the respective effects.
I didn’t feel embarrassed like this last time.
And Lu Huan is even more different——
If the cage bound by iron chains was veiled with a layer of black cloth to conceal the lurking beasts inside, this time the fabric layer had already been lifted, revealing the true visage of the beast.
The chains were loose, and the cage could barely contain its occupant.
Yu Baihan lightly slapped Lu Huan out of embarrassment, nudged him playfully with his knee, and mumbled, “Why are you still arguing with Teacher Baihan?”
Lu Huan touched the back of his hand, tightened the clasp with a bit of force, and looked at Yu Baihan, playfully accusing, “Don’t be mischievous.”
He tied it swiftly, then leaned back a little.
The scene before him unfolded: the tie clip he had worn was now being placed on Yu Baihan by his own hands.
Lu Huan blushed and fell silent.
Yu Baihan gazed at Lu Huan, who leaned against the headboard, the blush creeping from his neck to his chest. Their eyes met, and Yu Baihan struggled to breathe. Then he heard Lu Huan ask in a hoarse voice, “What’s next?”
He bit his lip and leaned forward suddenly.
Lu Huan was startled, then reached out and swiftly pulled him up.
Yu Baihan lay down in front of Lu Huan. The handsome face before him was flushed, his eyes fixed on him, and he let out a faint breath, “No need.”
But he felt that Lu Huan didn’t seem to really think it wasn’t needed.
Yu Baihan encouraged, “Don’t be shy, it’s a reward.”
His eyes sparkled, his lips were moist, and he appeared eager.
It’s not really a reward for Lu Huan, more like a reward for himself.
Lu Huan was slightly puzzled. He pressed Yu Baihan’s lips with one hand, looked down, and rubbed his lips, as if gauging something.
Yu Baihan: OuO?
After a while, Lu Huan let out a warm breath, pulled him into his embrace, and whispered, “This is fine.”
……
The room was aglow with a soft light.
Shadows danced and played on the walls, the warm air wrapping around them.
Yu Baihan lifted his gaze from Lu Huan’s shoulder, his eyes slightly moist, “Has it been forty minutes?”
Lu Huan whispered, “Twenty minutes.”
A hint of bewilderment crossed Yu Baihan’s face: …?
Lu Huan asked, “Feeling tired?”
Yu Baihan stubbornly replied, “Not at all.”
A soft, tender smile appeared, and Lu Huan gently covered the back of Yu Baihan’s hand. Yu Baihan pressed his lips together and nestled into Lu Huan’s shoulder again.
Time seemed to fly by yet also feel immensely prolonged, a contradictory and stagnant sensation.
After an uncertain amount of time, Lu Huan’s eyelashes fluttered.
Sensing something, Yu Baihan suddenly withdrew from Lu Huan’s grasp and lowered his head——
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, then gradually slowed down.
Yu Baihan was momentarily stunned, then pulled up by Lu Huan. The latter grabbed the quilt to clean up.
Once he regained his senses, he saw Lu Huan’s eyes darkened, a flush coloring his face, as if at a loss for words.
Yu Baihan felt an inexplicable sense of joy and contentment. He asked, “Is the reward satisfactory?”
“Yeah.” Lu Huan responded, leaning in for a kiss.
Yu Baihan lifted his head to avoid it, “It smells.”
Lu Huan gazed at him for a while, clasped his hands, and lowered his head.
Yu Baihan restrained him, “No need.”
Lu Huan raised his eyes, his lips curving, and said, “I’m okay.”
“……”？
Was he being teased?
Before he could ask a question, Yu Baihan soon found himself unable to think of anything else.
He looked up, the crystal chandelier on the ceiling shining faintly.
It was off at the moment, and I only caught the sporadic light from the bedside lamp, flickering like a dream.
In a moment, Lu Huan’s Adam’s apple moved.
Yu Baihan buried himself in Lu Huan’s embrace and exhaled, “Has it been forty minutes?”
Lu Huan’s voice reached him from above, “Ten…”
Yu Baihan jolted up, his eyes shining.
Locking eyes with each other, Lu Huan slowly corrected himself, “Very precise.”
Yu Baihan joyfully rubbed Lu Huan’s warm cheeks, “Exactly, Student Lu thinks before answering.”
Lu Huan smiled and covered the back of his hand, “Indeed.”
—
The two went to the bathroom to rinse their mouths, then returned to bed.
It was nearly midnight, Yu Baihan pulled Lu Huan into their cocoon-like nest, patting Lu Huan’s arm contentedly, “Turn off the light.”
Lu Huan wrapped an arm around him and turned off the bedside lamp sideways.
Light transformed into darkness, Yu Baihan held Lu Huan’s waist, closing his eyes. Today had left him weary, the to and fro consuming most of his energy. Now nestled in Lu Huan’s embrace, he fell into a deep slumber.
The rhythm of the person’s breath gradually elongated.
Lu Huan’s chin rested against Yu Baihan’s forehead, but sleep eluded him.
His body radiated a scorching heat, coursing from his heart to every inch of his being, enveloping him in warmth. He embraced the person in his arms, his heart racing, each beat heavy and intense.
For the first time in his two lives, he was truly in love.
He used to believe that just kissing could leave one deeply intoxicated.
It turned out, he hadn’t yet experienced the other aspects.
After a long while, Lu Huan exhaled a warm breath. He hugged Yu Baihan, lowered his head, and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, the throbbing of his heart accompanying the gesture.
He closed his eyes and felt a switch being turned on.
