We're recruiting a translator for this novel.

As an excellent, professional assistant, of course, Chen Wei kept his eyes on the road and tuned out his hearing. To lower his presence even more, he was extra conscious to not brake abruptly.

Since someone else was in the car, Ji Dongxun wouldn’t have done anything outrageous. After a brief kiss, Ji Dongxun let go of him, remembering that he had a boyfriend. Perhaps he was drunk, but today’s Zhang Jing seemed very docile as he rested on Ji Dongxun’s shoulder, comforted by Ji Dongxun’s gentle caressing. Even though he was on the verge of falling asleep, his left hand continued intertwining fingers with Ji Dongxun’s right. From Ji Dongxun’s perspective, all feelings of stress and discontent were replaced with feelings of fondness and warmth. pKCUXV

“Mr. Ji, shall I help you carry him?” Chen Wei opened the door for Ji Dongxun after parking outside his house.

“No need, I can manage. Today’s been a long day for you. You should go home and get some rest. Drive safely.”

“Got it. I hope you… have a nice dream.” Chen Wei returned to his car and headed home.

While walking home, Zhang Jing drifted in and out of consciousness, unable to walk without tripping, so Ji Dongxun had to assist him in every step he took. Besides Ji Dongxun’s warmth, nothing else passed his mind. He felt as if he opened a Word document with Ji Dongxun’s face, then suddenly froze his laptop. 4RZbie

Ji Dongxun entered his house’s password and the door opened. He carefully helped Zhang Jing sit on the sofa before going off to prepare a warm bath for him. Meanwhile, Zhang Jing’s eyes glued themselves onto Ji Dongxun’s figure and continued following their target. Everything else was automatically filtered out.

Returning with a hot towel, Ji Dongxun squatted before Zhang Jing to wipe his face. Although Zhang Jing was taciturn, he still obediently lifted his face, closed his eyes, and reached out his hand. Maintaining eye level, Ji Dongxun patted his face and asked with concern, “How are you feeling? Do you need hangover pills?”

A shake of the head.

“Then, maybe go take a long, hot bath. Do you want to throw up?”

A small nod.

“Right now, do you want to throw up?”

First a nod, then a shake. Ji Dongxun let out a chuckle, held Zhang Jing’s warm hands, and comforted, “If you want to vomit, then just do it. Don’t hold it in. I’m completely fine with cleaning it up.”

Why is Ji Dongxun so nice today… Oh right, he has always been this affable.

If I fall asleep, Ji Dongxun might disappear…

When he thought this to himself, he accidentally said his thoughts aloud. “I’m feeling drowsy, but I don’t want to fall asleep. Otherwise, when I wake up, you will disappear.”

Ji Dongxun’s nose began to sour as he tried to conceal the shakiness in his voice. “I will be here even when you wake up. Don’t worry. Go back to sleep. I’ll be with you.”

Still, Zhang Jing refused to let this imaginary Ji Dongxun disappear, so he widened his eyes even more. 37GcpQ

Seeing his reaction, Ji Dongxun gave up and guided him to the bath instead. With polite conduct, Ji Dongxun took off his clothes and carried him into the bathtub. “Is the temperature okay?”

“Yes.”

Ji Dongxun placed a towel behind his head, rolled up his sleeves, and gingerly massaged his left arm.

Remembering an incident from the past, Zhang Jing began to giggle and asked, “Baby, do you remember? That one time when I was drunk, you put me in this same bathtub. I didn’t want to leave the water, so my entire body felt numb the following day. You stayed with me too—I remember your knees were purple.” XY4FnS

Ji Dongxun also smiled, reminiscing about their shared past. “I insisted so many times for you to sleep on the bed, but you just wouldn’t leave.”

Only in his hallucinations did Zhang Jing experience such genuine happiness.

Not only him, but Ji Dongxun also felt nostalgic as he continued massaging. “Of course, I remember.”

Zhang Jing giggled like a teenage girl falling in love. “You massaged me while scolding me. You even said that you’ll never listen to me again!” pC5y 0

“As if I followed through. Hmph, when did I not listen to you?” Ji Dongxun’s voice gradually faded into thin air—his mind pulled back into the past and he lost track of the present once again. Thinking that Zhang Jing was probably tired, Ji Dongxun didn’t distract him either.

When the water began to lower in temperature, Ji Dongxun pulled him out of the water and said, “The water is getting cold. You should get out before you get sick; but if you want to continue bathing, let me at least add more hot water.”

Zhang Jing declined and walked out of the water without faltering. He quietly stood by the bathtub as Ji Dongxun wiped his body with a new towel. When Ji Dongxun squatted to wipe the moisture off his legs, a laugh escaped from him. He jumped onto Ji Dongxun’s back, legs wrapped around his waist.

With Zhang Jing on his back, Ji Dongxun strolled around the living room instead of returning to the bedroom. Zhang Jing’s eyes slowly watered as he asked, voice hoarse, “Baby, why did you leave me…” yoNr84

Ji Dongxun’s eyes also reddened. However, just as he opened his mouth to say something, he decided otherwise and vaguely responded, “I was too immature.”

Too immature, too occupied with fickle things. Unable to see the large picture, unable to communicate properly.

Ji Dongxun carried him back to bed when he felt Zhang Jing’s face melt onto his back. He patted his head and said, “You can sleep now. I’m going to take a shower since I also drank today. I don’t want to disturb your sleep with my alcoholic scent.”

Zhang Jing firmly grasped Ji Dongxun’s wrist, unwilling to let go. zXLm9e

“Hm?”

He received no response, but Zhang Jing did grab onto Ji Dongxun and bit his neck ravenously. Ji Dongxun trembled at the sudden pain, yet he didn’t move or speak. Soon, Zhang Jing tasted blood and proceeded to lick at the fresh wound. With an unsteady breath, Ji Dongxun asked, “Are you trying to devour me?”

That day, Zhan Jing left many tooth prints and wounds on his body—all those wounds stung a little. After Zhang Jing got his fill, Ji Dongxun asked with a serious tone, “Do you know what you are doing right now? If you continue acting like this, I won’t let you go in the future, no matter what. Even if you want to pursue your relationship with your current boyfriend, I’d just ignore his feelings and steal you over. Do you still want to continue?”

Zhang Jing’s brain failed to process all those words, but it did catch onto the phrase, “your boyfriend.” Without any hint of hesitation, he looked into Ji Dongxun’s eyes and firmly stated, “I. Don’t. Have. A. Boyfriend.” Usoaqb

Ji Dongxun inhaled a deep breath and pressed his lips against his lover’s. Before proceeding any further, he asked for confirmation, “Jing, who am I?”

Zhang Jing smiled innocently, though his eyes seemed to be dreaming. He replied, “Aren’t you Ji Dongxun?”

Ji Dongxun also took a meeknip at his neck, but it still left tooth prints. He panted right next to his ears and purred, “Baby, let’s forget about the past.”

He interlocked fingers with him. IMsOD5

Blurring out everything else except Zhang Jing, Ji Dongxun jokingly threatened, “If you dare find another boyfriend again, I’ll break his leg.”
