When they returned home, Yang Qu and Chu Wenxing were already gone.
The guest room was cleaned spotlessly, with no traces of yesterday’s “battle.”
He Yanlu walked around the bed in the guest room and said happily, “It looks like they peacefully resolved their issues.”
Ye Yixing opened the bedside drawer and found a box with just a few condoms left. He muttered under his breath, “Beasts.”
“Huh?” He Yanlu thought Ye Yixing was talking to him.
“Nothing,” Ye Yixing quickly closed the drawer and said, “Let’s take a bath and eat. Later, we can discuss going home tomorrow evening.”
He didn’t want He Yanlu to know why he had those things in the guest room drawer.
In fact, it wasn’t just the guest room. Everywhere in the house, be it the living room’s display cabinet, the tissue box on the coffee table, the kitchen cupboard, or the bathroom shelf… if He Yanlu paid a little attention, he would discover Ye Yixing’s secret stash of “fireworks.”
But He Yanlu was always oblivious and absent-minded, and this time was no different. He easily let Ye Yixing change the subject.
Ye Yixing pushed him to take a bath and helped him undress. He Yanlu complained, “I can’t bear to leave you even for a moment!” His new clothes were almost stripped off by another man!
“I’ll go buy another one exactly the same, okay?” He Yanlu pleaded.
“No,” Ye Yixing said angrily.
He Yanlu felt uneasy and tried to divert Ye Yixing’s attention by looking around. Unexpectedly, Ye Yixing suddenly said, “I’ll buy it.”
“…Huh?” He Yanlu was puzzled.
Ye Yixing wanted He Yanlu to wear his clothes, eat his food, and even live in his house… Every inch of He Yanlu was marked as Ye Yixing’s possession. There was nowhere to go, no escape.
Oh, the thought of it made his heart race and excitement surged through him!
However, no matter what, Ye Yixing didn’t want He Yanlu to know about his peculiar fetish.
He Yanlu blocked Ye Yixing’s wandering hands and said softly, “Not today…”
Ye Yixing replied, “We’ve already confessed to each other and started living together. Tomorrow, we plan to meet our parents. It’s only natural to be intimate now. You can’t reject me.”
“But we can’t do it every day…” He Yanlu squirmed to avoid Ye Yixing’s touch, his skin turning a faint shade of pink.
Ye Yixing smiled, “Lü, we’re young now, and it’s not harmful to our bodies. When we get old, we won’t have the energy for it every day.”
He Yanlu blushed, and before he could say anything, Ye Yixing quickly grasped his private parts. He Yanlu gasped in surprise, and his body responded honestly. He surrendered quickly and leaned against Ye Yixing, letting him do as he pleased.
Ye Yixing grabbed He Yanlu’s hand and placed it on his own hot body, saying, “Touch me too.”
He Yanlu lowered his head and awkwardly imitated Ye Yixing’s movements.
The feeling between his fingers was familiar, as he had the same thing himself. But it was entirely different from Xiao Hei’s. Xiao Hei’s was so small and cute…
(=_=)
Of course, Ye Yixing didn’t know what He Yanlu was thinking. If he knew, he wouldn’t find the docile and cute He Yanlu before him so adorable. He Yanlu’s wet hair stuck to his ears and neck like a small black fan, with tiny droplets of water on it.
Ye Yixing couldn’t see his expression, but he noticed that He Yanlu’s earlobes were red. He reached out and gently pinched them. He Yanlu only slightly dodged and obediently let Ye Yixing play with them, even sneaking glances at him from time to time.
So, in the moment He Yanlu lifted his head, Ye Yixing released him.
He Yanlu exclaimed, “Wow, that was fast.”
“You too!” Ye Yixing retorted in frustration, grabbing He Yanlu’s crotch again for a second round. How dare he mock him!
“I didn’t!” He Yanlu protested, but he knew deep down that being on the receiving end involved even greater pleasure. Because it was Luo Mu, and if it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be that instinctive physical response…
“Oh, really?” Ye Yixing smirked and leaned down to take him in his mouth.
He Yanlu moaned with a red face, trembling all over as the most sensitive part of his body was wrapped, licked, and sucked by Ye Yixing’s warm and hot mouth… It was an unprecedented sensation!
“…You…you cheat…” He Yanlu softly pulled Ye Yixing’s hair.
Ye Yixing playfully bit him, and soon, He Yanlu could no longer utter any words except for sweet moans.
After the act, the tired couple couldn’t muster the energy to cook, so they ordered takeout from the Love Cat Restaurant as usual.
He Yanlu insisted on Ye Yixing transforming into a cat, ostensibly to save money by living frugally together. Ye Yixing was a bit unwilling because he knew what He Yanlu was up to—to hug Xiao Hei…
Lying lazily on the sofa, he said, “Fine, I’ll turn into a cat, but if you kiss me and make me feel comfortable, I’ll become Xiao Hei.”
He Yanlu choked, and Ye Yixing looked at him with shining eyes. As long as He Yanlu kissed him, he would turn into Xiao Hei!
Ye Yixing looked at the dumbfounded expression on the other side and thought he had succeeded in his scheme. Letting He Yanlu, the fool, take the initiative to kiss him? He definitely couldn’t do such a thing! So, feeling smug, Ye Yixing said, “How about it? If you want to turn me back into Xiao Hei, just kiss me proactively, and it’ll work, you know…”
“Haha…” He Yanlu couldn’t help but laugh while covering his mouth.
Ye Yixing was puzzled, “Hey! What are you laughing at?”
He Yanlu said, “I suddenly thought of a fairy tale.”
“What?” Ye Yixing asked.
He Yanlu said, “The Frog Prince.”
(=皿=)
The Frog Prince was about the princess kissing the frog, and the frog turning into a prince! Ye Yixing was just about to retort when suddenly he saw He Yanlu leaning in.
He climbed on top of Ye Yixing and held his face before decisively kissing him.
Ye Yixing was enchanted, floating in bliss as he let the soft lips of his beloved leave their mark on his own. He kept his eyes open, trying not to miss a single moment of this magical kiss.
However, He Yanlu only lightly touched his lips and didn’t go deep before pulling away, saying happily, “Turn into Xiao Hei, turn into Xiao Hei!”
Ye Yixing’s soul, which had just drifted away, was pulled back by those words. He licked his lips, his eyes deep and profound. He reached out and cupped the back of He Yanlu’s head, pulling him towards himself!
“Mm…!” Foolish Yanlü was once again caught off guard.
Ye Yixing parted his lips and unhesitatingly attacked, kissing deeply until He Yanlu’s shoulders trembled from lack of breath. Then, he released him.
He Yanlu hurriedly gasped for air, his eyes watery and teary, as if silently accusing Ye Yixing.
“In the future, kiss like this, got it?” Ye Yixing smiled and hugged the still-dazed He Yanlu, flipping them over so they changed positions. He Yanlu lay on the couch, and Ye Yixing turned into Xiao Hei, lying on his chest.
“Xiao Hei…” As soon as he saw the black cat, He Yanlu forgot all his worries, stroking the cat’s forehead and excitedly pinching its ears and tail.
Ye Yixing was helpless, resting his chin on He Yanlu’s arm and softly calling, “Dad.”
×××
The next morning, Ye Yixing started receiving a barrage of messages and calls from his father, threatening him to attend the family gathering with various creative threats, like sending drivers and bodyguards to capture him if he refused, and so on.
In the afternoon, after finishing their classes, He Yanlu became nervous. He spent the whole day adjusting his emotions and expressions because he had never attended such a family gathering or met so-called “elders” before. He was scared and didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Ye Yixing’s parents.
Ye Yixing jokingly said, “Don’t worry, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws, let alone you, who looks so handsome.”
He Yanlu wrinkled his nose, “But I’m a guy.”
Ye Yixing reassured him, “My parents are very open-minded. They can handle anything except me killing, arson, rape, and kidnapping. Everything else should be fine.”
“Uh…” He Yanlu absentmindedly replied.
Ye Yixing went through his wardrobe, “So, my dear, don’t worry. Change your clothes quickly!” He threw a brown tight-fitting all-wool sweater at He Yanlu and chose a beige plaid sweater for himself.
“Wear this? Won’t it be hot?” He Yanlu asked.
“It won’t be. This one is breathable. Just wear it without an inner shirt,” Ye Yixing said.
He Yanlu obediently changed into the sweater. The finely knit fabric felt comfortable against his skin.
He didn’t notice that Ye Yixing was being considerate. The loose and soft woolen sweater with a high collar effectively concealed the hickey on his neck.
Ye Yixing turned around and examined his lover’s outfit. The tight sweater hugged his slender figure, giving him a unique charm. The brown color complemented his soft, natural chestnut hair. Although He Yanlu wasn’t tall, he was undoubtedly a handsome man. When he stood, he looked like a standard handsome guy. But when he sat down, his pointed chin and delicate face made him even more adorable.
“You look extremely cute,” Ye Yixing sincerely praised, “like a well-behaved child who doesn’t touch the world’s dust.”
“Really?” He Yanlu smiled.
“You know,” Ye Yixing nodded, “with this appearance, you’ll definitely win my mom’s favor.”
“What about your dad?” He Yanlu asked as he put on jeans.
“He loves any kitten I bring home, let alone a living beauty like you. But you need to be on guard with him; my dad can be cunning,” Ye Yixing said.
“Oh, I see,” He Yanlu pulled up his jeans without needing a belt, they fit snugly around his hips. “They’re quite tight.”
“You look good though,” Ye Yixing touched He Yanlu’s waist, “we’ll look great together.”
He Yanlu glanced at him, blushing, and quickly ran out of the bedroom.
At six in the evening, they were finally ready and took a taxi to Ye’s house.
He Yanlu sat upright in the car, with his hands on his knees, looking like a soldier going to meet a commander.
Ye Yixing kept comforting him, gently rubbing his tense shoulders.
He Yanlu said nervously, “Ye Yixing.”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“Does your dad need to meet me before he’ll help us?”
“Why would he? He’d help even without meeting you.”
“…Then let’s go back.” He Yanlu turned his head and placed his hand on the car window, as if wanting to jump out and run away.
Ye Yixing suppressed a smile and pulled him back, letting He Yanlu nestle in his arms. “Don’t be afraid; I’m with you all the way.”
He Yanlu remained silent, looking out of the window, and Ye Yixing didn’t know what he was thinking. So, he started talking, trying to ease He Yanlu’s psychological pressure, “My dad is protective of his loved ones. Since he let you call him dad, he definitely sees you as his own son. If someone bullies you, he’ll get really angry, like an angry cat.”
He Yanlu laughed at Ye Yixing’s joke, grabbing his sleeve but not saying anything.
Ye Yixing glanced at him and continued, “My mom is the same. But she’s protective of my dad. If my dad has any troubles, she’ll secretly handle them in advance. Sometimes my dad doesn’t know; he’s really clueless in front of my mom, a complete fool. But if he finds out, he’ll get mad at my mom, thinking she didn’t give him a chance to show off.”
“Uh…” He Yanlu listened quietly.
Ye Yixing held him and felt that he was relaxing. “Now, your matters are my matters. Anything related to me, my dad will definitely take care of it. But I guess he hasn’t done anything yet because my mom has already taken care of it for us. So, there’s no need to worry.”
“Your mom is really nice,” He Yanlu said.
“Of course,” Ye Yixing nodded, “with a strong-willed queen in the family, all the babies are protected under her wings. And now, we have one more, so she’ll protect you too.”
“Ye Yixing, you’re really lucky.”
“A lucky person like me fell in love with you and is giving you all his happiness. Aren’t you even luckier?” Ye Yixing smiled.
“Um…”
He Yanlu held Ye Yixing’s arm and finally relaxed.
The Ye family ancestors were from a scholarly background. Ye Yixing’s grandfather lived through the turbulent times of the Cultural Revolution, and in desperation, the family turned to business. However, the true scholarly spirit had disappeared, and the Ye household, though attempting to preserve some semblance of literary elegance, seemed rather affected and superficial.
The living room was filled with classical redwood clocks and Western-style luxurious carpets, all reflecting Ye Shuyan’s preferences.
At this moment, Ye Shuyan was anxiously pacing, checking the time on the clock, which had already passed seven.
He stood up and looked out the door, appearing far from the composed and calm demeanor expected of a man in his fifties.
On the other hand, Wen Min was calmly leaning on a redwood armchair, browsing the latest jewelry shopping magazine.
Liu Yi approached Ye Shuyan and smiled, “Sir, why don’t you have a seat? Little Ye will be here soon.”
Ye Shuyan, wearing a grayish-white sweater, asked in a hurry, “Do I look too serious?”
Liu Yi shook her head, “You look kind and amiable.”
Ye Shuyan smiled, adjusting his clothes, “Nothing crooked, right? Let me straighten it out again.”
Wen Min glanced at him from afar. She had personally picked out his outfit; how could there be any mistakes? She shook the magazine in her hand, turned a page, and continued reading, ignoring her husband like a child.
Liu Yi glanced at the approaching car lights and said, “Looks like an outsider’s car; it must be Little Ye.”
Ye Shuyan hurriedly went back to sit next to Wen Min, casually picking up a newspaper to read.
Wen Min said, “You’re a fool; you’re holding it upside down!”
