Extra 1- The Real Bonus

Shen Li’s birthday is at the end of the year, really at the very end, on December 31st.

As he gets older, the concept of celebrating birthdays fades. Each year, he just receives gifts from Cheng Zhao and Jiang Chifeng, invites friends over for a lively meal with some drinks, and that’s how his birthday passes.

But this year, with Lu Changting by his side, Shen Li couldn’t help but look forward to his birthday a bit more.

Knowing that Shen Li planned to spend some time alone with Lu Changting, Jiang Chifeng and Du Heng invited Shen Li for hotpot on the evening of the 30th. After finishing the hotpot, they naturally moved on to “Gu Jiu.” Coincidentally, Xiao Yao and Chen Xingye were also there that day. With so many people, they decided to book a private room. Jiang Chifeng called Wei Wenxing, and Chen Xingye made calls to invite Fu Jiashu and others. Everyone close to Shen Li was included, except for Lu Changting, who was working overtime, and Lu Changxü, who was busy with other matters.

That night, Shen Li drank a bit too much. Everyone kept finding ways to pour him more drinks. When Lu Changting arrived to pick him up, Shen Li was holding Jiang Chifeng’s wrist and asking, pointing to the time on his watch, why Xiao Gege hadn’t come to pick him up yet.

Jiang Chifeng was also somewhat drunk. Seeing Lu Changting push open the door to the private room and come in, he rarely pushed him directly into his arms, as if he had seen a savior: “… Isn’t your Xiao Gege here to pick you up?”

Shen Li looked up and saw Lu Changting, stunned for a moment, then smiled.

“Xiao Gege.”

The room burst into laughter, with Xiao Yao laughing the most heartily. As he laughed, he called out to Lu Changting: “Xiao Gege, you’re late. You should drink three cups as a penalty first.”

Lu Changxü, who had come with Lu Changting, was used to worrying. After finishing his tasks, he thought that with so many brothers drunk, Lu Changting couldn’t handle it alone, so he had come along. Now, standing behind Lu Changting, he saw the ring on the hand resting on Lu Changting’s shoulder, and with the changing lights in the room, it made him squint slightly.

Hearing everyone laughing and teasing, he couldn’t help but smile along.

Lu Changting held Shen Li, his heart entirely focused on the person in his arms, and had no mind to drink.

They were all close friends, and Lu Changting just smiled at the teasing: “Let’s save it for another day. We can drink as much as you want then.”

He turned to Lu Changxü: “Brother, I’ll take Xiao Li home now.”

Lu Changxü waved him off to go ahead and then went to get a clean cup to pour himself some alcohol: “I’ll drink for Changting.”

Lu Changting helped Shen Li out of the private room, put on his down jacket, zipped it up, and touched his flushed face due to drunkenness: “I’m taking you home.”

Shen Li, feeling a bit dizzy, hugged his neck, resting his chin on his shoulder, and closed his eyes with a sleepy voice: “… Okay.”

His tone was soft and gentle.

Lu Changting said he was taking him home but didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he looked at his wristwatch and, waiting until the hands of the watch were exactly on zero, he smiled and kissed Shen Li’s alcohol-scented lips: “Happy birthday, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Li recalled that on Lu Changting’s birthday, it was also early in the morning when he had said, “Happy birthday, Mr. Lu.”

Now, Lu Changting was giving him that same blessing. The “Mr.” sounded particularly gentle.

He looked at Lu Changting with hazy eyes and a smile: “Did you specifically time your arrival?”

Lu Changting replied with a “yes.” The first timely blessing had to come from him.

Shen Li’s eyes curved into a smile: “Every day with Mr. Lu makes Mr. Shen very happy.”

Lu Changting asked with a smile: “Can you walk by yourself?”

“Yes,” Shen Li responded, then shook his head, “… No, I don’t want to walk by myself.”

Lu Changting chuckled softly, supported his shoulders and waist to keep him steady, then slightly squatted down and carried him on his back. Shen Li naturally wrapped his arms around his neck, his cheek resting against his back, smiling with his lips pressed together.

Lu Changting carried him downstairs, through the bustling crowd, and out of the bar. The driver had already parked the car by the roadside. Seeing them, he quickly got out of the car to help. Lu Changting subtly blocked the driver’s hand, bent down, and lifted Shen Li into the car, then got in on the other side.

Once in the car, Lu Changting coaxed Shen Li into drinking a bottle of yogurt he had bought in advance. Shen Li then rested in his arms and slowly fell asleep, not waking up even when they got home. Lu Changting carried him out of the car, took him to the bedroom, and then helped him with a bath.

In winter, the air conditioning in the house was always set to a high temperature, and the bed was very soft. By the time Lu Changting lay down on the bed, it was already past 2 a.m. After a tiring day, he fell asleep almost immediately upon touching the bed.

The next morning, Shen Li woke up in Lu Changting’s arms, groggily checking his phone to see the time.

Tuesday, 11:03.

No wonder he felt hungry…

Why wasn’t Lu Changting going to the office on Tuesday?

He hadn’t heard the alarm, and Wan Qing hadn’t called Lu Changting, so was Lu Changting not planning to go to the office today?

Shen Li took a moment to react, remembering that it was his birthday and thinking that Lu Changting’s recent overtime might have been to free up a day for him. His gaze softened as he looked at Lu Changting.

He reached out to touch the faint blue shadows under Lu Changting’s eyes and then, feeling a pang of tenderness, leaned in to give him a kiss.

Lu Changting, who had woken up when Shen Li reached for his phone, gently curved his lips and hoarsely reminded him, “You’re kissing the wrong place.”

Shen Li smiled and kissed his lips: “Did I wake you?”

Lu Changting didn’t answer the question: “Baby, I’m hungry.”

“I’m hungry too,” Shen Li said, starting to get up. However, noticing Lu Changting’s hand moving towards his waist and the hardness pressing against him, his cheeks flushed. “You…”

Lu Changting chuckled, withdrawing his unruly hand from Shen Li’s pajamas, and hugged his waist, asking, “What do you want to eat?”

Shen Li bit his lip, his Adam’s apple moving, and reached into Lu Changting’s waistband.

Lu Changting actually had no intention of continuing; it was just that being actively stimulated by the person he liked, with wet and hot lips and tongue licking and sucking, was something no man could resist.

Shen Li added to the fire, licking from the base to the tip while looking up at him with a seductive gaze: “I want to devour you.”

Lu Changting grabbed his chin and caressed his lips with his fingers: “How come you’re so obedient?”

Shen Li, blushing, undressed completely. Fortunately, the room was warm, and with Lu Changting’s body heat, he didn’t feel cold, although he found it a bit embarrassing to expand himself.

With a hand full of lube, he tentatively touched the crack between his thighs. As he straddled Lu Changting, their hardened members pressed together, greeting each other.

Lu Changting’s gaze was deep, his throat tight, and his lower body ached with arousal.

He grasped Shen Li’s fingers, guiding them in and out, stretching and expanding his soft, wet entrance. Shen Li’s legs trembled with the combined sensations of pleasure and the embarrassment of self-expansion, gasping, his voice hoarse: “It… it’s enough.”

Lu Changting slowly put on a condom, then lay back on the bed with his hands crossed, his gaze burning with desire: “If you want to devour me, you’ll have to do it yourself.”

Shen Li was momentarily stunned, then grasped his member, raising his hips to sit down, but struggled to fully take Lu Changting in. Shen Li bit his lip, seeing Lu Changting’s lack of movement, and slowly pressed against his entrance, attempting to lower himself.

Lu Changting thrust his hips, his thick member slowly penetrating deeply. The intrusion was so intense that the large, throbbing head pressed against the wet, soft walls, causing Shen Li’s abdominal muscles to tense up immediately. Usually, Lu Changting took the lead in their intimacy, but now that the roles were reversed, Shen Li felt lost.

Lu Changting’s chest heaved with the stimulation of the tight, warm embrace, and he let out a heavy sigh: “Baby, move a little.”

Shen Li’s hand rested on Lu Changting’s chest, feeling the racing heartbeat through his palm, which made him instinctively pull his hand away, only to find the man’s firm abs.

With his Xiao Gege beneath him, allowing him to do as he pleased… Shen Li closed his eyes in embarrassment and began to ride up and down.
