Sponsored chapter (2/5)
On the following day, the weekend had arrived once again. When Yu Baihan awoke from his slumber, he noticed that Lu Huan was still in bed, an unusual occurrence as Lu Huan typically rose earlier than him. Yu Baihan turned over and embraced him, nuzzling his face into Lu Huan’s waist. He inquired, “Why are you still in bed today?”
Lu Huan, his voice emanating from above Yu Baihan’s head, responded, “Am I lying in bed?”
Yu Baihan raised his head to look at Lu Huan, who met his gaze with lowered eyes. Lu Huan ran his delicate fingers through Yu Baihan’s hair, caressing his ears and cheeks. Since returning the previous day, Lu Huan has repeated this affectionate gesture several times, as if seeking reassurance.
Yu Baihan wondered, ‘Could it be that he’s still bothered that I was being followed yesterday…?’
He raised his head and playfully teased, “Oh, you specially came to accompany me~” As he spoke, his pale lips moved, and his soft cheeks flushed with warmth.
Lu Huan’s breath hitched for a moment. In the early morning, when willpower is at its weakest, attention can easily be diverted elsewhere. He firmly grasped Yu Baihan’s cheek and said, “Get up and eat.”
Yu Baihan’s cheeks were gently squeezed, and he felt the heat emanating from them. His breath grew warmer, and he lowered his eyes, glancing around.
In the next moment, a large hand seized the nape of his neck.
Pulling back slightly—
Under Lu Huan’s unfastened collar, his collarbone and neck had flushed. He exerted a gentle force with his hand, warning the mischievous rascal, then rolled over and headed for the bathroom.
“…”
Lu Huan had an impressive ability to restrain himself.
Blushing, Yu Baihan buried his face in his hands and then got out of bed to follow.
As autumn arrived, the weather grew cooler. Both of them changed into slightly thicker, long-sleeved attire.
After brushing their teeth, Yu Baihan observed Lu Huan. Lu Huan was dressed in dark clothing with loose-fitting trousers, and his shirt’s hem barely covered his waist.
Lu Huan splashed his face with cold water after washing it. Cool droplets clung to his flushed skin. He picked up the onlooker who had been watching him, and for the moment, they went downstairs.
Breakfast was already prepared downstairs. Uncle Feng had gone to work elsewhere and was not in the kitchen.
Today’s breakfast consisted of sandwiches, and Yu Baihan accompanied him with a glass of milk. After finishing the milk, his lips stained, and he reached out to tap Lu Huan, signaling for a tissue.
Lu Huan, understanding his intent, took out a tissue and turned to face him. When his gaze fell on Yu Baihan’s lips, the heat that had been suppressed in his eyes surged again.
Yu Baihan noticed that Lu Huan wasn’t moving and, pouting, urged him, “What are you doing? Are you waiting for the milk to dry up before peeling off the film?” O3O?
“…”
Lu Huan pursed his lower lip and reached out to wipe it away.
He swiftly wiped away the residue and softly said, “All done.”
As soon as Yu Baihan averted his gaze, he noticed the tips of Lu Huan’s ears turning red. He couldn’t help but surmise that Lu Huan’s condition wasn’t improving—Senior Lu was at it again.
The sun had just risen. After breakfast, they gathered their books and laptops and made their way to the terrace. Lu Huan, holding the laptop in one hand and most of Yu Baihan’s books in the other, commented, “Spending more time in the sun is beneficial for your health.”
Yu Baihan, observing Lu Huan’s upright and resolute posture, couldn’t help but think: Is Lu Huan treating me like a radish? More sunlight, loose soil, and weekly watering?
He was beginning to suspect he might be a golden radish.
The two quickly reached the terrace.
While setting down his books, Yu Baihan asked, “Aren’t you still upset about Si Yanting… Is it alright to stay at home?”
Lu Huan, lowering his head and starting up the laptop, replied, “I might have to unplug the network cable myself.”

Yu Baihan’s calf twitched, and he replied, “Just bumped it.” QAQ
“…”
Lu Huan lifted Yu Baihan’s pajama bottoms to reveal his calves and knees, inspecting them to ensure there was no injury. Once he confirmed this, he fell silent for a moment.
Sitting in the chair beside him, Lu Huan brought Yu Baihan’s leg onto his lap and pressed his fingertips against the affected area. “Is it so amusing?”
Yu Baihan chuckled again. “It’s mainly because your expression was hilarious.”
“…” Lu Huan stared at him, applying some pressure.
“Hiss, oops!”
After being admonished, Yu Baihan finally settled down.
He rested one leg on Lu Huan’s lap, bent his knee, and lightly tapped Lu Huan’s firm thigh with his foot. He kicked his feet playfully, enjoying the sensation of the rebound.
With one hand holding onto his ankle, Lu Huan’s waist and abdomen tensed as he inquired, “Can’t you sit still?”
Yu Baihan lifted his gaze to meet Lu Huan’s eyes, and as their gazes locked, it felt as if electric currents were sparking between them. His breathing grew slightly erratic, and he thought, ‘Senior Lu is becoming more and more sensitive.’
Lu Huan slowed down the massaging of Yu Baihan’s calf, enveloping it with his warm hands and rubbing gently with his calloused fingertips.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere grew laden with lingering and ambiguous emotions.
Yu Baihan’s heart raced as he fluttered his eyelashes, leaning in closer, but just as he was about to close the distance, a dialogue box popped up on the computer that Lu Huan had just turned on, accompanied by a notification sound: Didi!
They both turned to see who the message was from.
Lu Huan glanced at it and let out a warm sigh, “It’s a work report.” He then reached for Yu Baihan’s ankle with one hand and connected to the video call with the other.
The video call connected, and a voice from the other side came through, “Mr. Lu.”
The camera framed only Lu Huan from above his chest.
He had quickly adjusted his expression to a serious one, ready to engage in business. “Let’s proceed.”
The voice of the work report continued from the computer, and Lu Huan mostly listened, offering only brief responses.
Yu Baihan sat beside him where the video couldn’t capture him, and with his calf still cradled in Lu Huan’s palm, he pursed his lips in slight dissatisfaction. He couldn’t help but wonder, Why couldn’t they have shared a kiss before answering the call? The video call connected so quickly.
Holding his chin, he observed Lu Huan’s chiseled profile, which exuded an air of determination. His heart skipped a beat.
Soon, a sly smile crept onto his lips, and he playfully moved his leg. hey~
On the computer screen, Lu Huan suddenly paused.
He began breathing more heavily and tightened his grip on Yu Baihan’s leg.
Slender eyelashes drooped, and the blush that had started on his face now extended to the base of his ears.
The report on the other end stopped, “Mr. Lu?”
Lu Huan’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and he lifted his eyes calmly, saying, “It’s okay, continue.”
The rigorous report continued on the computer.
Under the table, Lu Huan’s knuckles protruded, and his palms grew warm.
The sensation of closeness became increasingly apparent. Though Yu Baihan didn’t turn to meet Lu Huan’s gaze, he could feel the other’s peripheral vision locked onto him.
The sun cast a warm glow overhead.
In broad daylight, Yu Baihan felt his back growing warm as his leg remained cradled.
His cheeks flushed, and he mused to himself: Senior Lu, let’s limit it to ten times a week. Isn’t this a bit too much?
After a while, the video call finally concluded.
Lu Huan turned to him, his gaze slightly intense. “Did you intentionally create trouble?”
Yu Baihan looked back with reddened eyes.
They maintained eye contact for a few seconds, and then Lu Huan seemed resigned. He lowered his voice and asked, “Are your legs still numb?”
Yu Baihan honestly replied, “No.”
“I thought so.” Lu Huan said, “So flexible.”
As soon as the words left his lips, Lu Huan paused.
The tone that had initially seemed teasing took on a more ambiguous note.
After saying this, he quickly regained his composure. After all, they were in the middle of video conferencing, not the best time to lift Yu Baihan’s leg.
Yu Baihan adjusted his trouser legs, and as he gazed at Lu Huan’s heated neck, he couldn’t resist leaning over to plant a kiss on Lu Huan’s red ear.
So adorable. Boo!
Lu Huan turned to him, pinched his cheek, and regarded him with a deep, meaningful gaze. “When will you stop?”
Yu Baihan: =3=
“…” A few seconds of silence followed.
Afterward, a gentle kiss ensued, tender and soft, with a hint of sweetness and a lingering taste.
Lu Huan cupped Yu Baihan’s face and continued the affectionate kiss for a while, but in the midst of it, he suddenly pulled back and ceased.
Lu Huan opened his eyes, and Yu Baihan blinked in mild surprise.
It might have been the first time that Yu Baihan had taken the initiative to stop, and he appeared a bit bewildered.
Yu Baihan, “…”
Yu Baihan, who had slipped into the habit of playfully teasing, met his gaze with a somewhat puzzled expression. Lu Huan exhaled deeply, his eyes betraying a hint of self-doubt.
Yu Baihan gazed at him affectionately, thinking, Look at your sensitivity.
He thought to himself: Save some for later; the longer you save, the more intense it’ll be.
Of course, it also means Senior Lu will be more likely to throw them away.
—
The weather had been lovely all day. The two of them remained on the terrace, completely motionless. The warm sunlight bathed the courtyard, occasionally brushed by a gentle breeze. Apart from Uncle Feng, who had brought them two rounds of tea, no one interrupted their peaceful afternoon.
Lu Huan’s computer was set up beside a small coffee table, where work-related content and various project documents were neatly organized.
During a break, Yu Baihan leaned over to take a look. Although he wasn’t a finance major, he could grasp the basics. He knew that Lu Huan was focusing all his efforts on a personal business endeavor that the company had temporarily suspended.
The He family and the Huo family had united to seize the ancestral assets of the Cui family and the Si family.
As Yu Baihan observed, he heard Lu Huan say, “I’m going to put a lot of pressure on Si Yanting during this time. If he’s forced to reach out to you in a hurry, you don’t need to pay much attention.”
Lu Huan paused and added, “Let me know if anything happens.”
“I understand,” replied Yu Baihan nonchalantly. “If he comes to me, I’ll give him a piece of my mind.”
Lu Huan chuckled, “Well done.”
Yu Baihan inquired, “Can’t you do the same?”
Lu Huan tugged at the corner of his lips and replied, “Yes, let’s enjoy our carefree moments.”
Yu Baihan instantly brightened up at this, the more he looked at Lu Huan, the happier he became. He leaned in and planted a kiss on Lu Huan’s lips.
Pressing their lips together, Yu Baihan couldn’t help but express his surprise, “Baihan wants to reward you…”
Lu Huan held him close, and as they talked about the kiss, he lowered his eyes and responded, “Yes.”
…
They stayed on the terrace until darkness descended, and then they moved inside the house.
At night, Lu Huan worked in the bedroom.
Yu Baihan went for a bath first, applying some lip balm afterward.
As he looked at himself in the mirror, he noticed that his lips, which had been pale, were now slightly reddened. When he raised his eyes, they appeared bright and moist, carrying a hint of anticipation and shyness, making him quite alluring.
Yu Baihan’s heart raced.
Hastily puckering his lips, he left the bathroom, settled onto the bed, and buried half of his face in the blanket to avoid being spotted by Lu Huan.
After some time, Lu Huan turned off the computer and joined Yu Baihan in preparing for bed.
Once he was ready, he reached out to embrace Yu Baihan, who was hidden beneath the blanket, and turned off the bedside lamp.
With a soft pop, the room plunged into darkness.
In the absence of sight, other senses became heightened.
Yu Baihan could feel that Lu Huan was radiating heat, yet his embrace was not overly tight. After all, he had been the target of Yu Baihan’s playfulness three times today, with no outlet for his frustration.
Lu Huan’s deep voice uttered, “Good night.”
“Good night, Makahuan,” Yu Baihan replied, snuggling into his embrace, pretending to drift off to sleep obediently.
In the darkness, time slipped by, and the breathing in front of him gradually became slow and steady. Yu Baihan opened his eyes and cautiously whispered, “Lu Huan?”
The person in front of him didn’t respond but subconsciously held him closer.
—This was the reaction of someone on the brink of light sleep.
Yu Baihan gazed at Lu Huan’s slightly blurred and serious expression, and his heart began to race faster and stronger.
After a brief pause, he took a deep breath in the darkness.
Then he gradually moved downward.
Thank you so much
Ohohoho naughty radish finally made his move! Is there a reason why they’re abstaining from having s*x, is it because of yu baihan’s health condition?? Which is poor or smth..?
