In the evening, they stayed here. In the adjacent small room, there was a single bed.
Besides the bed, the room was filled with various items, indicating that it wasn’t frequently used and served as a storage space.
There was a bathroom attached. As soon as Sheng Renxing entered, he glanced at the bed and then turned towards the bathroom to take a shower.
Once in the bathroom, he leaned on the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. After a moment, his gaze shifted to the tattoo on his arm.
The tattoo was covered in plastic wrap, and the design was somewhat blurred. The pain hadn’t subsided.
Sheng Renxing touched the tattoo, and the pain intensified with his fingertips, but it felt different from when Xing Ye had touched him earlier.
When he realized what he was doing, he quickly withdrew his hand, ran his fingers through his hair, revealing a clean forehead.
He looked at himself in the mirror, and the person inside also looked back at him. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were bright, as if he had just had a sauna.
He immediately straightened his slightly upturned mouth and clapped his own face with both hands.
He felt that his reaction was really too weak!
Just a moment ago, when Xing Ye had looked up at him after kissing him, he almost got turned on.
Suddenly, Xing Ye knocked on the door from outside.
“What’s the matter?” he was startled and turned to look in the direction of the door, intentionally lowering his voice.
“Are you done showering?” Xing Ye asked.
The bathroom door here was made of wood, so he couldn’t see the person outside.
“Yes, I’m done,” Sheng Renxing found himself standing in front of the mirror, lost in thought for a few minutes. After he responded, he felt something was off and immediately turned on the showerhead.
When the rushing water came out, Sheng Renxing suddenly snapped to attention.
“Sheng Renxing, is there something wrong?”
It was silent outside for a while, and when Xing Ye spoke again, his voice clearly carried a playful tone: “Open the door, you didn’t take any clothes.”
Sheng Renxing:
“I’ll just wear my own.”
“Not even changing your underwear?” Xing Ye’s voice outside was low and doubtful.
Sheng Renxing: “…”
After a while, the door was pushed open, and Sheng Renxing, dressed neatly, reached out to Xing Ye, speaking with a stern tone, “Clothes.”
Xing Ye leaned against the nearby wall, looked Sheng Renxing up and down, and smiled as he asked, “What were you doing in the bathroom just now?”
Sheng Renxing closed his eyes and replied, “I was peeing!”
Seeing that Xing Ye wasn’t moving, he reached out to grab his clothes himself.
“Oh,” Xing Ye dodged his hand, his tone unchanged, “Do you want your boyfriend to help you with that?” As if he was asking if he needed help adjusting the hot water.
Sheng Renxing looked up at him, and the image of Xing Ye tattooing him just flashed inappropriately through his mind. He almost agreed!
Fortunately, he remembered the playful comment he had made while drunk, knowing that Xing Ye was teasing him. The temperature that had just receded had the potential to rise again. He struggled to maintain a composed and aloof expression and said, “Not this time.”
With that, he snatched his clothes, quickly closed the door, and shut out Xing Ye’s laughter.
One minute later, he opened the door again.

“I turned both ways, but it’s still cold,” Sheng Renxing furrowed his brow, looking at the shower controls.
Xing Ye glanced at it but didn’t touch the knob. Instead, he crossed over Sheng Renxing and turned on the water heater.
Sheng Renxing whispered, “This is so discreet; it’s like being a spy just to turn on the hot water!”
Xing Ye replied, “Hmm.”
Sheng Renxing lightly punched him and said, “No laughing!”
Xing Ye rubbed his head, helped him close the bathroom door, and walked away.
After a few seconds, he opened the bathroom door again, “Do you know which one is the shampoo?”
Sheng Renxing was halfway through undressing, and his clothes got stuck around his neck. He yanked them off and threw them into the laundry basket, replying, “I can read!”
Xing Ye had given him a short-sleeved t-shirt, and when he put it on, the sleeves just touched the plastic wrap. He rolled up one sleeve, and he looked like he was ready to fight when he saw himself in the mirror.
Coming out of the bathroom, Xing Ye was sitting on the floor, looking at his phone, and there were changed bed sheets next to him.
Sheng Renxing raised his head and smiled at his appearance. He reached out and said, “Let me see.”
Sheng Renxing squatted down next to him and showed him his arm. Xing Ye removed the plastic wrap and said, “It didn’t get wet.”
“Yeah, I kept my arm raised the whole time. Even the Statue of Liberty couldn’t hold her arm up straight like me,” Sheng Renxing squatted for a while, feeling tired, and then sat cross-legged.
He was wearing loose shorts and asked, “Whose clothes are these?” They didn’t look new.
“Whose do you think?” Xing Ye said while helping him wrap the new plastic wrap.
“Yours?”
“Other than my clothes, there are only Bright’s clothes here. The outfit you’re wearing is mine. But Bright’s clothes have better fabric. Do you want to change?”
Sheng Renxing said, “Oh,” and then added, “I’m just asking. I don’t wear other people’s clothes.”
After Xing Ye finished wrapping, he ruffled Sheng Renxing’s hair and kissed him on the head, saying, “Go to bed, you might catch a cold. I’ll go take a shower.”
Sheng Renxing watched him go into the bathroom, and then slowly got up and sat on the bed. He sat there for a while, not fully awake until the coldness of his hands and feet made him shiver. Only then did he crawl under the blanket.
The two of them had been in the same bed before, but today’s situation was different.
Sheng Renxing leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind wandering aimlessly. He thought about Xing Ye’s kiss and the sensation of his waist.
But it was only their first day together.
Was it too fast?
Sheng Renxing blinked at the ceiling, and he heard the sound of the door opening. He reflexively turned his head to the side and saw Xing Ye coming out.
Xing Ye looked at him and asked, “Aren’t you cold?”
“What?” Sheng Renxing didn’t catch on.
Xing Ye approached, reached out, and covered the blanket piled around his waist, then touched his exposed hand, which was ice-cold.
“Oh,” Sheng Renxing covered himself more, “I didn’t notice.”
“Yeah,” Xing Ye sat on the edge of the bed, “What are you thinking about?”
I’m thinking about you.
Thinking of indescribable things.
Sheng Renxing pursed his lips, looking at Xing Ye’s arm exposed outside his clothes and asked, “Do you want to come up?”
The single bed was small, and it only had one pillow.
Xing Ye nodded, “You sleep inside.”
“Huh?” Sheng Renxing moved inside while saying, “I sleep without rolling off.”
“I’m afraid I’ll touch your tattoo,” Xing Ye lifted the blanket and let the breeze in, then warmth rushed in. Xing Ye’s slightly elevated body temperature after a shower was transmitted to him through his skin.
Half of his arm went numb, and he remained motionless for a while. It took him some time to realize what Xing Ye had said, and he belatedly replied, “Oh.”
Then he quietly said, “But if I’m inside, won’t I hit the wall? That would hurt even more.”
On the other hand, Xing Ye was silent for a moment, then asked, “Do you want to switch back?”
“No need, just don’t squeeze me,” Sheng Renxing said dryly.
“Alright.”
What a ridiculous conversation.
Sheng Renxing stared at the ceiling for a while and asked, “Are you going to sleep?”
“Is it still painful?” Xing Ye asked simultaneously.
Sheng Renxing replied, “No, it’s not painful anymore.”
Xing Ye said, “Okay, go to sleep.”
“…”
“Fvck.”
Sheng Renxing cursed under his breath.
Next to him, Xing Ye let out a low laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Sheng Renxing glanced at him. He didn’t believe that Xing Ye felt nothing.
He told himself not to be nervous, it’s just going to sleep, what’s the big deal? Even when Xing Ye wasn’t his boyfriend, he had slept over. Now that they were together and had even kissed and cuddled, he needed to show his confidence!
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Renxing summoned the unflinching demeanor one would have when facing Mount Tai and casually said, “It’s indeed quite late. Let’s go to sleep. Goodnight.”
He then closed his eyes.
Beside him, Xing Ye responded and reached out to turn off the light, saying, “Goodnight.”
In the darkness, there was silence for a moment. Sheng Renxing started feeling that half of his body had gone numb due to being in the same position for too long. He couldn’t resist the urge to turn over.
However, as soon as he moved, there was a movement from Xing Ye’s side. In the darkness, Xing Ye grabbed his hand and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He sounded very alert.
“Am I crowding you? This space is a bit small,” Xing Ye said as he shifted from lying flat to lying on his side, facing Sheng Renxing. His warm breath seemed to be near Sheng Renxing’s ear, carrying a hint of minty scent.
Sharing one pillow, although he had given him some space, it actually brought them closer.
Sheng Renxing closed his eyes, shook his head, and after a few seconds, he remembered that Xing Ye couldn’t see him. “No, it’s just not very comfortable lying like this. I’ll change my position.”
They both switched to lying on their sides, one facing the wall and the other facing Xing Ye. Sheng Renxing’s arm with the tattoo would press against the wall.
As soon as Sheng Renxing spoke these words, he immediately closed his mouth, trying to swallow down the ending of that sentence.
He hadn’t moved for a while, and Xing Ye asked, “Need help?” as he placed his hand on Sheng Renxing’s waist.
“Hey!” Sheng Renxing turned to face him, quickly pressing Xing Ye’s hand at his waist.
Xing Ye didn’t say anything.
“Did I touch your sensitive spot?” Xing Ye teased with a hint of playfulness in his voice.
“No,” Sheng Renxing opened his eyes, and Xing Ye’s silhouette appeared before him. His eyes were clear and bright, and he could even feel Xing Ye’s breath.
Xing Ye watched him in the darkness, not saying a word.
“Ha,” Sheng Renxing unexpectedly laughed, firmly holding Xing Ye’s hand and said, “Don’t move!”
Xing Ye also chuckled.
“You’re being excessive!” Sheng Renxing removed Xing Ye’s hand from his waist, tightly holding it between them. He couldn’t stop laughing, and his body trembled.
“Aren’t you supposed to go to sleep? You’re so energetic,” he instinctively left out the impolite word in his sentence.
“Well,” Xing Ye, with his hand held by Sheng Renxing, stopped struggling and instead held Sheng Renxing’s hand back, lightly tracing the gaps between his fingers, “I can’t fall asleep.”
“I’m a little excited,” Xing Ye said.
Sheng Renxing didn’t know if it was the stimulation from Xing Ye’s actions or the implications in his words, but a tingling sensation shot up his spine, and his heart raced with itchiness.
He took a deep breath and whispered, “We still have classes tomorrow.”
Xing Ye paused for a moment, then answered softly with a sound from his nose. Meanwhile, his hand continued to explore, with his thumb tracing the pulse on Sheng Renxing’s inner wrist, applying varying levels of pressure.
Sheng Renxing not only felt numb but also uncomfortably warm. He locked eyes with Xing Ye in the dark. They shared a gaze, then he lowered his gaze, focusing on Xing Ye’s lips.
This wasn’t an ideal place; they were lying in someone else’s home, had class in the morning, and it was only the first day they officially got together.
His other hand pinched his own leg, then he impulsively leaned forward to kiss Xing Ye’s lips, pulling back after a brief moment, leaving some distance between them. “Goodnight, boyfriend.”
He felt he couldn’t scare Xing Ye off!
It had taken so much effort to get him!
Licking his lips, Sheng Renxing couldn’t help but smile. “On our first night together, we’re sharing a bed and a blanket. But after a whole night, we’re still innocent little guys.”
Before he could finish his self-assessment, he suddenly felt Xing Ye approaching, kissing him back with intensity.
Sheng Renxing was startled but immediately immersed himself in the kiss, forgetting everything he had been thinking.
The side-lying position wasn’t ideal for a deep kiss. Xing Ye unknowingly applied more force, making it difficult for Sheng Renxing to catch his breath. He involuntarily tilted his head back and slowly shifted to a flat position. Xing Ye ended up half-pressed against him, their body heat transferring through the thin fabric. Their intimacy and stickiness intertwined in the scorching hot breaths.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, amplifying the rustling sounds of their clothes and the blanket. Sheng Renxing buried himself in the pillow, hearing the reverberation of his heartbeat against Xing Ye’s body, like a passing train rushing towards its destination.
…
Afterward, he gasped with dazed breaths, his mind gradually clearing. He sounded displeased, “You seduced me!”
Xing Ye tightly embraced him, half-pinned on the bed, burying his face in Sheng Renxing’s neck, his breath warming his earlobe, making the stone in his earring heat up. He only spoke after a while, “I just wanted to touch you.”
Sheng Renxing felt a bit uncomfortable being held so tightly. He tried to push Xing Ye away a couple of times, but it only resulted in Xing Ye hugging him tighter. His fingers slipped down to the base of Xing Ye’s hair and gently stroked a few times. “Do you want me to touch you?”
