EmbersCh55 - “Don’t want a bath.”

EVERYONE!!! so so so sorry for the late update… I bascially misunderstood that (because I technically have already dropped the novel) I wouldn’t be posting any more chapters… but I was WRONG!! orz orz orz 


The next day, after Sheng Renxing woke up, he stayed in bed for a while before finally getting up to go to the bathroom, leaving his brain behind on the bed. uBgZIb

He remained in a daze until he poked his toothbrush into his mouth, suddenly recovering and taking it back out with a “hiss”, looking in the mirror.

There was a small wound on his tongue.

“…” He avoided poking the wound again numbly, feeling the memories of last night emerge in a flood, immediately followed by an overwhelming sense of shame.

Sheng Renxing’s head was flooded for three seconds – he closed his eyes in front of the mirror and sincerely prayed that a meteor would hit Earth at this moment and stop everything. y8MJWU

However, said meteor obviously ignored his wish to die.

Half a minute later, he opened his eyes again, and was still standing in front of the mirror with his hair dishevelled, with his face flushed as if he had been in a sauna. Though he wasn’t wearing the same clothes as yesterday and the wound on his tongue was only slightly stinging from the toothpaste, it all still reminded him that his memories were all true, and that he was doomed.

Half an hour had already passed by the time he had gotten fully mentally prepared and finally summoned up the courage to leave the bathroom and go to the living room.

A cloud of steam followed him as he came out. He saw Xing Ye sitting on the sofa playing with his phone, with his legs casually resting on the coffee table in front of him. He glanced at him and said nothing.

Sheng Renxing felt that his glance had no meaning.

“…” Looking at the table, he saw breakfast laid out: “Did you make it for me?”

Xing Ye didn’t answer, instead asking: “Do you remember what happened last night?” N6YA9z

“…” Sheng Renxing almost smashed the glass on the table. In embarrassment, he deliberately lowered his head, his red hair covering his ears and half of his face, trying to think of a retort. “What happened yesterday? I don’t remember.”

“Really?” Xing Ye replied casually as he lowered his head and fiddled with his phone.

“Yes,” Sheng Renxing didn’t dare look at him as he sat down to eat his breakfast.

He would never let Xing Ye know that he remembered! Not to mention the various drunk antics he got up to last night. DL0N9T

“P vbc’a kjca ab ajxf j yjat!”

A very familiar voice suddenly reached his ear. KuABhd

Sheng Renxing was stunned for a moment. In the next second, he slowly raised his head, as if petrified, and looked at Xing Ye in disbelief.

Xing Ye looked back at him. His expression was cold and serious, completely different from the voice coming from his phone.

The two of them stayed locked in that position as the video continued to play. The person speaking changed to a very helpless voice: “If you don’t take a bath you’ll be dirty.”

After a second or two, he heard again: “Then lick me,” the voice was coquettish: “If you lick me, I won’t be dirty.” K6TMgw

\”… \”

In less than half a second, Sheng Renxing flew up from his chair and rushed to grab the phone.

What is this?!! This thing could definitely ruin me!!!

“Xing Ye!” He knelt down on the sofa and pressed against him, feeling as though his whole body was on fire: “You fucking… you fucking delete it for me!!!” 7ymix1

Xing Ye tucked the phone underneath him and didn’t give it to him, instead squinting his eyes: “Didn’t you forget? I was just helping you remember.”

Sheng Renxing wasn’t as strong as him, so he simply straddled him and pinched him with one hand – his expression was so ferocious that it looked like he was about to kill him: “Give me the phone! Either the phone goes or I go!”

Xing Ye pushed away his hand while supporting him. The two of them rocked back and forth – the sofa was so overwhelmed that it creaked.

Xing Ye still refused to give it to him. hOXHZp

Ten minutes later, Sheng Renxing had reluctantly calmed down. He stayed sitting on Xing Ye while he discussed with him: “Come on, why won’t you delete the video?”

Although Xing Ye was the one being suppressed, he was still imposing – not weak at all. “Do you remember now?”

“…” Sheng Renxing closed his eyes and nodded, telling himself to bear with it.

Xing Ye: “Do you remember how you harassed me?” URNn8

“…” Sheng Renxing paused for a while, then nodded again, humiliated.

Xing Ye: “Then do you remember how you bit me?”

Sheng Renxing was about to nod again when he stopped and opened his eyes: “Who bit who???” Was the wound on his tongue fake?

Xing Ye did not speak and looked at him. tROW5U

“…You’re taking advantage of the situation!” Sheng Renxing couldn’t believe it.

Xing Ye raised his eyebrow slightly.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“…” Sheng Renxing closed his eyes and slept on brushwood and tasted gall – humiliation flashed through his disordered mind, affected by Xing Ye’s unreasonableness. Hardening his heart, he gritted his teeth and spoke: “Ok! I fucking bit you! Now quickly delete it!”

Xing Ye slowly took out the phone from behind him – Sheng Renxing grabbed it, turned it on, unlocked it, and was faced with the cover of the video. He didn’t even dare look at it, quickly pressing delete before throwing the phone back onto Xing Ye’s chest, pointing a finger at him and sneering: “You…” oFwvgR

He wanted to say “just you wait”, but then remembered the events of last night and lost his confidence again. After thinking about it for a while: “It was you who bit me!”

In the mood to show him the evidence, he supported himself with one hand on the armrest of the sofa beside Xing Ye’s head and pointed at his tongue.

Xing Ye glanced at the tip of his tongue, shifted in his place, and his tone became calmer: “I didn’t bite you.”

Sheng Renxing sneered. Could it be that he had bit himself? vJmYEk

Then the next second: “You bit yourself.” Xing Ye said.

Sheng Renxing: “…”

XIng Ye seemed to know what he was thinking as he looked up at him: “When you bit me, you bit yourself.”

Sheng Renxing: “…!” ExD5dH

He stared with his mouth open, wanting to say something yet not being able to speak.

He tried desperately to remember all of what happened last night.

The only memory that came to mind was when he leaned over while Xing Ye was changing his clothes, wanting to kiss him secretly.  And Xing Ye’s dark and unclear expression.

However, in between his intention to steal kisses and biting Xing Ye’s tongue, there was too much fucking missing! What happened in between?! uEam4F

It was also only at this time that he realised what he was arguing with Xing Ye about.

Sheng Renxing bit his lip, feeling like the air was hot enough to steam him, and shifted uncomfortably.

Xing Ye’s face changed instantly. He frowned: “You…”

Before he could finish speaking, his phone suddenly rang. RCr4fb

Sheng Renxing hurriedly got off him, sat beside him with a sigh of relief, and raised his chin to signal to do as he pleased.

He glanced at the phone inadvertently and saw the caller was a string of numbers without a name.

However, in Xing Ye’s phone, among the people who called him, only a few were actually named.

Xing Ye looked at the number calling him and was stunned – his expression had not changed, but his eyes had become cold. He did not answer immediately, walking to the balcony. f9bB6n

Immersed in his emotions, Sheng Renxing didn’t notice this abnormality for a while. It was actually only after he left and the temperature around him dropped to a point where his brain gradually started to work again that he realised something was wrong.

Xing Ye’s attitude just now.

The subtle shift.

Sheng Renxing was stunned for a while, then he turned to watch Xing Ye’s back. yDlwWm

Was he being delusional?

He felt like he was going to succeed.
