    Shen Li went home, packed a few changes of clothes, grabbed his charger, and his gaze fell on a pile of small cat figurines on his bedside table. In the end, he decided not to take them. He thought for a moment and instead packed his perfume.

    It was too much trouble to bring daily necessities back and forth, so it was better to buy new ones. Once he had his own things, he could stay over at Lu Changting’s place from time to time in the future.

    There was a large 24-hour supermarket near Lu Changting’s home. Shen Li and Lu Changting selected daily necessities from the shelves, buying items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, cups, and towels, as well as some nuts and snacks.

    There were quite a few people in line at the checkout. Lu Changting stood at the front with the shopping cart, and Shen Li stood beside him, his gaze falling on the nearby shelf.

    Lu Changting glanced at him, and following his gaze, he noticed what Shen Li was looking at. His eyes darkened slightly.

    Shen Li stared for a long time, seemingly a bit hesitant. He furrowed his brows lightly and asked, “Which one is better?”

    “…I don’t know.” Lu Changting’s face warmed slightly. Although he had no other intentions when he invited Shen Li to stay over, it was hard not to feel a little moved when his partner was being so proactive. “Should we just buy them all and try?”

    Shen Li shot him a look, grabbed a box of Jissbon Zero, and tossed it into the shopping cart, his ears tinged with a faint redness.

    “That’s not enough,” Lu Changting whispered, “Take a few more.”

    As he spoke, he grabbed a few more boxes and tossed them into the cart, even making sure to pick a few different brands, saying they should try them all.

    “Ew, there are two disgusting gay guys up ahead…”

    “That’s so gross.”

    “Shameless.”

    “What a shame, they’re so good-looking, but they’re gay.”

    “…”

    After they finished checking out and left the supermarket, Shen Li could still faintly hear the people in the line behind them whispering about them.

    Two grown men buying that kind of thing—it was obvious what their relationship was. He sighed inwardly. The world was hostile toward them, but in the end, they were in love, spending their own money to buy things. There was nothing wrong with that.

    Lu Changting’s face didn’t look too good, but when he turned and met Shen Li’s slightly worried gaze, he smiled. “Words can be dangerous; they can destroy a person. But it’s good that you’re by my side.”

    Shen Li held his hand tightly. “I’m sorry…for making you go through this.”

    “So, I can only stand by your side, being judged and slandered together.” He paused, then added softly, “And blessed.”

    Lu Changting looked at him and smiled, “Let’s go home.”

    It was close to eleven by the time they reached Fengchun Villa. Shen Li took a shower first, then, while drying his hair, he began to explore Lu Changting’s room.

    The entire villa had a traditional Chinese style, and Lu Changting’s room was particularly classical, with carved wooden sliding doors that separated a small living room. There was a low table with cushions, and the walls were adorned with a large painting of serene mountains and rivers, giving the room an elegant atmosphere. However, it didn’t quite match Lu Changting’s personality.

    Still, Shen Li liked the tranquil and refined style. It made him feel calm and peaceful just looking at it.

    Lu Changting’s room wasn’t overly furnished, the decor was simple, probably because he didn’t stay there often, so it didn’t have much of a lived-in feel.

    Shen Li placed his perfume on Lu Changting’s bedside table, then took a hanger from the wardrobe and moved Lu Changting’s clothes slightly to the side, hanging his own clothes in the closet. Finally, he found his charger, plugged in his phone, and sat down to blow-dry his hair.

    When Lu Changting came out after his shower, he saw Shen Li sitting on his bed, and his expression softened.

    He walked over, picked up the hair dryer from the bedside table, and casually sat down beside Shen Li, turning on the dryer to help with his hair.

    After Shen Li’s hair was dry, Lu Changting put away the hair dryer. His gaze swept over the bedside table, which now had an extra bottle of perfume, and he suddenly remembered something. “Oh, I have something.”

    He opened the bottom drawer of the bedside table and took out a wooden box.

    The moment Shen Li saw the box, his heart skipped a beat.

    “I don’t know who gave this to me.” Lu Changting opened the box, revealing a set of ceramic cat figurines inside, each one unique but exactly the same as the set Shen Li had on his bedside table.

    “I think it was a birthday gift when I turned eighteen.” Lu Changting recalled, “Someone left it on my desk.”

    That day, Lu Changting hadn’t paid much attention to the cat figurines on Shen Li’s bedside table. It was only later, when he thought about them, that they seemed familiar. So, he went home, searched around, and found a wooden box on the top of his bookshelf. That’s when he remembered receiving a similar gift.

    “It seems like you really like cats.” He took out the cat figurines one by one and placed them on the bedside table. “For now, let’s enjoy these. We can get a real one later.”

    Looking at the well-preserved ceramic cats, which had been kept in the wooden box all these years, Shen Li felt a pang in his heart.

    Twelve years.

    They had finally been taken out of the dark, unseen box.

    He reached out and gently touched one of the cats, lying on its back with its belly exposed, and asked in a low voice, “Do you like it?”

    “Do you mean cats?” Lu Changting said, “I used to like them quite a bit.”

    “There were a lot of stray cats at school back then. I would sometimes feed them.” Lu Changting’s eyes held a nostalgic look. “There was one little tabby cat that must have gotten used to being fed because it somehow found its way into my classroom. By the time I noticed it, the bell had already rung, so I had no choice but to hide it in my desk.”

    “It was very well-behaved. It didn’t make a sound throughout the entire class.”

    At that, Lu Changting stopped talking.

    Shen Li asked, “What happened afterward?”

    Lu Changting replied in a flat tone, “I took it home, but it ran away the next day.”

    Maybe it was wild and untrained, or maybe it was too accustomed to freedom and didn’t want to be kept, so it ran away. He searched for a long time but never found it again, and he never saw it at school again either.

    Since then, he hadn’t invested too much affection in animals. Getting attached only to end up with nothing was too sad.

    “Then let’s not get a cat.” Shen Li placed his hand in Lu Changting’s and said, “Just take care of me. I won’t run away.”

    Remembering the little tabby cat had made Lu Changting a bit downcast, but when he heard Shen Li say this, he couldn’t help but laugh. He held Shen Li’s hand and leaned in to kiss him.

    “You’re too cute.”

    Who needs a cat? Shen Li was much cuter and more well-behaved.

    Shen Li wrapped his arms around Lu Changting’s shoulders, tilting his head slightly to deepen the kiss.

    He obediently lay down on the bed, lightly kissing his lover’s lips. Their wet and soft lips and tongues tangled together as Lu Changting’s calloused fingers restlessly slipped under Shen Li’s waist, caressing his spine.

    The gentle, warm kisses moved from his lips, trailing over his Adam’s apple, and down to his neck, bringing a soft tingling sensation.

    Shen Li breathed heavily, his eyes filled with a haze of desire.

    Their discarded clothes were tossed aside, scattered all over the floor.

    Lu Changting gazed at Shen Li, like he was admiring a work of art, his eyes slowly and meticulously taking in every detail—from his collarbone to the small buds of his nipples, down to the firm lines of his abs, and finally landing on the bulge between his legs with a heated gaze.

    Shen Li was also looking at him.

    He watched the rise and fall of Lu Changting’s chest, the hard muscles of his body, and the stiffness of his sex… Just watching made him feel overwhelmed, and when their eyes met, the fire of desire burned through his body, making him feel both hot and feverish.

    He licked his lips and, with trembling hands, unbuckled his belt.

    As Lu Changting watched Shen Li, he couldn’t help but recall how his friends used to joke about stripteases. He had never seen one, but now he felt that no matter how graceful and seductive those women’s dance moves might be, they couldn’t compare to the sight of Shen Li undressing in front of him.

    Shen Li’s skin was very fair, his legs long and straight, and even his erection had a clean, pure color. Lu Changting’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he reached out, stroking it a few times before lowering his head to gently take it into his mouth.

    The feeling of his sex being wrapped in wet warmth made Shen Li’s mind go blank. He propped himself up on his elbows, looking at Lu Changting in disbelief.

    “Don’t… mm…” The awkward way the man he had loved for years was licking him, combined with the feel of his long fingers gripping the base, made Shen Li close his eyes in discomfort, a shiver running through his body as the sensation coursed through him, turning every word into a breathless moan.

    “Changting… don’t.”

    Shen Li bent his legs, trying to push Lu Changting away.

    Lu Changting lifted his head, his face slightly flushed, and his hairline damp with sweat. It was clear that this was his first time doing something like this, and he was very much out of his depth. “Did I hurt you?”

    “It doesn’t hurt…” Shen Li didn’t know what to do either. He could only reach out to wipe the sweat from Lu Changting’s forehead and hairline, then sit up and kiss him.

    “Then are you embarrassed?” Lu Changting licked and kissed Shen Li’s lips, their soft, hot tongues intertwining, while his hand never stopped, stroking Shen Li’s sex.

    Compared to his poor oral skills, Lu Changting’s kissing and hand skills were far better. The kiss left Shen Li almost breathless, lost in a sea of desire, feeling both comfort and need.

    “Mm…”

    It wasn’t just embarrassment; it was also the years of longing and admiration he had for Lu Changting. Now, with this man lowering his head to do such things for him, how could he possibly remain calm and restrained?

    Shen Li felt like all his shame had been burned away by the fire of desire. All he wanted was to submit to Lu Changting, to let him have whatever he wanted.

    “Already embarrassed?” Lu Changting chuckled, squeezing some lubricant into his hand. He traced his fingers down to Shen Li’s entrance, slowly and gently sliding them inside.

    His kisses rained down on Shen Li’s neck and shoulders, while his long fingers worked within, gently stretching him with the help of the lubricant. “How about now?”

    Shen Li let out a low gasp, the initial discomfort fading as the fingers inside him rubbed against his sensitive spots, sending shivers through his body.

    “It’s so warm inside.” Lu Changting whispered deliberately in his ear, adding another finger as he gently but firmly worked within him. “Boss Shen, if it’s uncomfortable, you have to tell me.”

    He was struggling to hold back, his erection aching painfully, and his neck damp with sweat.

    “Mm… no…”

    Shen Li had been called “Boss Shen” by many people before, and he had encountered deliberate flirting and teasing, but the way Lu Changting whispered “Boss Shen” in his ear, with that deliberately lowered voice, laced with heavy breathing and warm breath, was unbelievably seductive.

    His legs trembled slightly, his erection hard and swollen, and when Lu Changting added another finger, he suddenly came.

    Lu Changting laughed again. “No what?”

    After the climax, Shen Li was still caught in the throes of burning desire, his eyes red and his voice hoarse. “No… no discomfort.”

    Lu Changting asked knowingly, “So it feels good?”

    Shen Li tilted his head back slightly, breathing heavily with a low voice. “Mm, it feels good…”

    Lu Changting reached for a box of condoms on the bedside table, opened it leisurely, and carefully put one on. He then spread Shen Li’s legs apart, applied some lubricant, and gently slid his fingers into Shen Li’s entrance, moving them in and out slowly. Despite the intense desire, he held back, fearing that Shen Li might get hurt. He couldn’t bear the thought of Shen Li being in pain.

    Shen Li grasped Lu Changting’s erection and positioned it at the entrance. “It’s… ah, it’s okay now,” he whispered. Lu Changting withdrew his fingers and replaced them with his throbbing erection, inching it in slowly until he completely filled and possessed his lover.

    In the gentle yet intense rhythm of their lovemaking, Shen Li bit his lower lip, releasing only a muffled groan when the initial pain surged through him. Lu Changting paused, tenderly wiped the sweat from Shen Li’s forehead, and kissed his lips with a gentle tone. “If it hurts, bite me,” he said, offering his arm to Shen Li. “Let me know how much it hurts, okay?”

    But Shen Li couldn’t bring himself to bite Lu Changting. Instead, he kissed his arm and whispered hoarsely, “It doesn’t hurt.”

    “You little liar,” Lu Changting murmured, holding him close. He waited for Shen Li to adjust and for the pain to subside before resuming his movements. The thick, hard erection thrust into Shen Li, blurring the line between pain and pleasure. Shen Li, desperate for relief, grabbed his own erection and clumsily stroked it a few times, craving more.

    All that escaped his throat were broken syllables, unable to form coherent words.

    “Say my name,” Lu Changting demanded, pressing into him, still feeling unsatisfied despite having Shen Li. “Shen Li, say my name.”

    “Changting…” Shen Li gasped, clinging to his shoulders, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he called out his name repeatedly.

    “Changting.”

    “I’m here,” Lu Changting responded with a smile, gently kissing him, but his movements became increasingly forceful. “You’re so good.”

    By the time they finished, it was late into the night. Even after his lover had drifted off to sleep from exhaustion, Lu Changting could still hear him muttering softly in his sleep.

    “Changting…”

    “I’m here,” Lu Changting replied softly, finally feeling content. He held his lover close and soon fell into a deep sleep himself.

    Shen Li woke up naturally the next morning. The curtains blocked out most of the daylight, allowing only a few thin beams of light to filter through, casting shadows on the floor. The soreness in his body made him reluctant to move, and being held tightly, he felt a bit warm but still lay quietly, sleepily staring at Lu Changting’s peaceful face.

    As his mind cleared, he reached out to touch the love marks on Lu Changting’s neck.

    Last night, he had devoured Lu Changting.

    Unable to suppress a small, smug smile, he leaned in to kiss Lu Changting gently and whispered, “Good morning, Xiao Gege.”

    The room was quiet, and he could hear the soft, steady rhythm of his lover’s breathing and heartbeat. Lying in Lu Changting’s arms, Shen Li fished out his phone from under the pillow and sneakily took a few photos of Lu Changting sleeping.

    The man, handsome in his peaceful slumber, looked softer with his eyes closed, hiding the depth in them.

    Who knows how much time passed before those long, thick lashes trembled, and Lu Changting opened his eyes, immediately meeting Shen Li’s clear gaze.

    Waking up to see his lover watching him so intently made Lu Changting chuckle. His just-awoken voice carried a lazy undertone. “What are you looking at?”

    “Looking at you,” Shen Li replied earnestly.

    Still a bit drowsy, Lu Changting closed his eyes again, shifting slightly to tighten his embrace. “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

    “I’m okay.” His body did feel heavy, like the aftermath of intense exercise. Shen Li paused, then added, “Just a little hungry.”

    Lu Changting reached for his phone on the bedside table, glancing at the time—12:47 PM.

    He dialed Lu Changxu’s number and asked softly, “What do you want to eat?”

    “Anything is fine.” Shen Li sat up, preparing to get out of bed. “I’m not picky.”

    “Stay with me for a little longer.” Lu Changting leaned in, somewhat playfully resting his head on Shen Li’s waist, preventing him from getting up.

    When Lu Changxu answered the call and heard such a statement, he almost thought he had misread the caller ID.

    “Changting?”

    “Yeah,” Lu Changting replied nonchalantly. “Order some takeout to be delivered to the villa.”

    He added slowly, “Enough for two, and make sure the dishes are light.”

    Lu Changting never bothered ordering from Wangjiang Tower, where orders had to be prepared in sequence. He always called directly, asking someone to deliver it, so Lu Changxu wasn’t surprised. But when he heard “enough for two,” and connected it with the earlier conversation, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is Mr. Shen with you?”

    Lu Changting gave a simple “Hmm.”

    Rubbing his stomach, feeling a bit overfull from his own lunch, Lu Changxu responded, “Got it, Second Young Master.”

    Lu Changting’s lips curled into a pleased smile. “Thanks, Ge.”
