“What do you mean he can’t?!!”
Chu Tingyun was both angry and amused.
But after thinking for a moment, he suddenly got out of bed and started taking off his clothes right in front of Chengyi, until the other stared at him, blushing from his ears all the way down to his neck. Chu Tingyun suddenly chuckled.
“Wait, I’ll take a shower.”
He tossed his red and white tracksuit jacket over the boy’s head as a joke.
“I’ll come back and lift our Xun Xun’s wedding veil after the shower.”
Chengyi, who had just been about to take off the jacket: “………”
He let out a soft “mm,” put his hand down, and stayed still.
Chu Tingyun was clearly taken aback, completely unprepared for the fact that the other actually took the joke seriously. He couldn’t help but laugh, then cupped the boy’s face through the jacket and gave him a kiss. Afterward, he turned around and, taking his phone, went into the bathroom.
As for why he took the phone…
Because Chu Tingyun needed to do some research. Although he’d never had a partner or even anyone he liked before, he’d always thought of himself as straight. But tonight, he’d unexpectedly bent—bent and was about to go all the way.
This was a bit outside his knowledge base.
In order to give the little puppy brother an unforgettable first experience and to maintain his image as an all-capable older brother, Chu Tingyun felt like he needed to do his homework.
So as soon as he got into the bathroom, he quickly turned on the shower and then used his phone’s browser to search how men do it with other men, and what precautions to take.
He had some general knowledge before, but had never looked into it in depth. Given the current situation, he needed to study the details.
His impression of Ye Chengyi had always been of that kid who couldn’t get up after falling on the ice rink, or the clumsy little puppy who would knock on the door with his head while carrying sweet and sour ribs, obedient, cute, and clingy…
This impression was so deeply ingrained that even though Chengyi had gone to college, he was still a minor in Chu Tingyun’s mind. As a result, the many ambiguous moments between them later were subconsciously ignored by Chu Tingyun.
The kid was still underage, wasn’t it perverted to have thoughts about him?
Until tonight, when the ambiguous bubble between them finally burst. Chu Tingyun had tasted the sweetness of kissing, and a mix of lust and long-standing affection made him quickly realize his own feelings.
There was no helping it—the other person just kissed too well, felt good to touch, and just looking at that face…
Chu Tingyun, thoughts racing, quickly searched for tips on being the top. He focused on learning how to prepare the receiving partner so they wouldn’t get hurt.
At this moment, the idea that he could be the bottom never even crossed Chu Tingyun’s mind.
Ten minutes later, Chu Tingyun opened the door to a whole new world, feeling confident as he turned off his phone, carefully deleting all browsing history.
Outside, Chengyi’s mind was still spinning. It wasn’t until the sound of running water from the bathroom reached his ears that he fully realized what had just happened was real.
And that something else was likely about to happen next.
!!!
He jumped up, pacing excitedly and nervously in circles around the room. Then, still wearing the jacket on his head, he carefully replaced the bedsheets with fresh ones.
Because it wasn’t very convenient…
He took a long time changing them. By the time he finished, Chu Tingyun had already finished his shower.
“So obedient, Xun Xun~”
Chengyi felt the weight on his head lift as Chu Tingyun pulled off the jacket and kissed him right away.
“Mm…”
Perhaps because he’d been covered for too long, Chengyi’s cheeks were flushed. After the kiss, he realized that Chu Tingyun wasn’t wearing anything except for a towel wrapped around his waist.
This was like…like the other had washed himself clean and stripped down, delivering himself right to Chengyi’s mouth. And the towel he was wearing was even Chengyi’s.
Just then, Chengyi heard Chu Tingyun ask in a low, breathy voice, “No condoms, mind?”
Though he asked that, Chu Tingyun was actually planning to grab his phone to order some.
The boy paused for a moment, blushing and lowering his head. “I have some, gege…”
Chu Tingyun froze mid-reach for his phone: “?”
A minute later, he watched Ye Chengyi open the drawer beneath the bedside table. Inside were all the tools that Chu Tingyun had just searched for in his browser, neatly arranged, all present and accounted for.
Chu Tingyun: “???”
No way—he’d looked through the bedside table earlier, and there had been nothing inside?!
His mind raced—the only explanation was that Chengyi had put them in there while he was in the shower.
With this in mind, Chu Tingyun felt like he was seeing Ye Chengyi in a whole new light.
“Xun Xun, where were you hiding these things before, huh?”
“……”
Chengyi didn’t answer; he just came over and kissed him with his eyes closed.
Although they had already shared an intense, passionate kiss earlier, Chengyi’s actions now were still gentle, and he didn’t touch anywhere he shouldn’t.
The boy cradled Chu Tingyun’s face, kissed his forehead, his cheeks, and then lightly brushed his soft lips, like a little bee sipping nectar from a flower.
Careful, cherishing every moment.
This was in stark contrast to the aggressive, tongue-tangling kiss from earlier when Chu Tingyun had pinned him to the bed, trying to strip his clothes off and touch him everywhere.
Chu Tingyun gradually lost the urge to ask about the earlier situation. He was so overwhelmed by the kiss, his heart racing, his chest turning into a puddle of warmth.
After all, Chu Tingyun was only twenty-four, young and healthy, full of energy, and naturally had his fair share of desires. But because he’d been so focused on training, even though he had plenty of admirers, he never had any interest in dating. So, his needs were usually handled by his right hand.
—But things were different now.
With such a sweet little boyfriend, why use your hand?!
“Alright… you brought this on yourself, Xun Xun.”
Even now, Chu Tingyun was still confidently convinced he would be the top. Since the little puppy brother was so well-prepared, practically like a sweet dessert that had unwrapped itself and delivered itself to his lips, how could he not indulge?!
Both of them were in sync, believing the other to be the willing and sweet “cake” being served up on a platter. So, when Chengyi was pushed down by the handsome Chu Tingyun, there wasn’t a trace of resistance. Even though Chu Tingyun eagerly started undressing him, Chengyi, despite being shy, was very cooperative.
Just over an hour ago, Chengyi had been upset and gloomy because he thought Chu Tingyun wouldn’t make it back for his birthday. Half an hour ago, he was still anxious, fearing that his secret might disgust Chu Tingyun, leading to their estrangement.
Chu Tingyun noticed the boy’s body temperature rising as his clothes were disheveled, with his chest exposed, clearly revealing his pounding heart.
“Gege… hmm, don’t kiss my neck like that… people will see…”
It was late summer, and the clothes wouldn’t be enough to cover up. But by now, Chu Tingyun was no longer listening.
Chengyi’s voice had always been clear and clean, a blend of youthful sharpness and maturity. Usually, he spoke with a calm detachment, resembling his father’s tone, though he was a bit more obedient when around his parents or Chu Tingyun. Now, hearing him nervously plead in such a tone not to continue made Chu Tingyun’s heart race, fueling his desire to tease and provoke him even more.
Tsk, how had he never noticed how tempting little brother was?
Most importantly, Chengyi’s skin was smooth and clean, likely influenced by his brother’s grooming habits. Chu Tingyun was thoroughly pleased.
But as he removed the last piece of clothing, all his excitement and anticipation suddenly halted.
“Gege, your size is too small.”
The earlier comment seemed to visually materialize before him, and Chu Tingyun froze. Chengyi, noticing the shift in his demeanor, shyly kissed the man’s cheek, slightly worried.
“Tingyun, are you… feeling scared? If you’re not ready, we can stop this time…”
“What do I have to be scared of?”
Chu Tingyun would never admit defeat. Besides, he wasn’t the one on the receiving end. What difference did it make if Chengyi was bigger? He was still in control! Years of being single had made Chu Tingyun quite skillful in certain areas, while Chengyi, having never experienced anything, was like a blank slate. Even though he had done some online research, his strong moral compass had kept him from crossing any lines with his brother before now.
The most daring things Chengyi had done were his uncontrollable dreams and the night he stole Chu Tingyun’s underwear, a memory that had haunted him with shame. For two years, he couldn’t even lie next to his brother because of it. His guilt over fantasizing about Chu Tingyun had kept him restrained. But now, the rush of Chu Tingyun’s advances was far more stimulating than any physical pleasure could have provided.
Chu Tingyun leaned in, breathless and laughing softly as he asked, “How does it feel?”
“…”
Chengyi glanced down, only to quickly avert his gaze, too shy to respond, his face flushed and hips involuntarily rising.
“You… not so good, are you, little one?”
Chu Tingyun didn’t expect things to progress so quickly. He casually wiped his hand across his face, and any small sense of inadequacy was instantly balanced out. He mockingly wiped his hand on the boy’s face and, with a laugh, teased, “All grown up, and yet…”
The remark stung like a tiny needle on Chengyi’s sensitive nerves.
“…”
Chengyi opened his eyes and stared at Chu Tingyun for two seconds before suddenly flipping him over and pinning him down.
In that split second, the power dynamic shifted completely, and the slightly damp towel was flung to the floor.
Chengyi, looking down at the man beneath him, took a deep breath.
This was the first time he’d seen “Chu Tingyun” so clearly.
The man was stunningly beautiful. His mixed heritage and years of training had sculpted his body to near perfection, like a finely crafted BJD doll. Yet, unlike a soulless doll, he radiated an irresistible allure.
His messy black hair framed his delicate features, and his bright blue eyes shimmered with moisture. Each flutter of his long eyelashes felt like butterfly wings brushing against Chengyi’s heart.
“Hmm?”
Chu Tingyun lazily lay there, propping his foot against Chengyi’s abdomen, unaware that this gesture was drawing the boy’s attention downward.
“Such a temper, little one. Can’t take a joke?”
“… Chu Tingyun, don’t call me little one.”
Chengyi leaned down and kissed him. At first, Chu Tingyun didn’t resist because the kiss felt pleasant. But as the kisses deepened and Chengyi pushed him over, Chu Tingyun realized something was off—though by then, it was too late.
“Chengyi… what are you doing?!”
“Chengyi, wait…! Chengyi!!!”
Chu Tingyun started struggling, but Chengyi’s strength was overwhelming. When an unexpected touch reached an unthinkable place, Chu Tingyun was utterly shocked to realize that his sweet little brother was actually the one who had the upper hand.
“You little…! Chengyi, you… let me go! How dare you bite me…”
Damn it!
So that’s why the kid had been so proactive, even preparing everything in advance. He had been planning to top him all along!
“It’s okay, gege, I’ve learned. I’m very gentle… Relax, relax a little…”
The gentler Chengyi’s tone was, the firmer the movements of his hands were.
“You! Ye Chengyi you…I…let me go!”
Chu Tingyun was so shocked that all his nerves were trembling as he was pressed on the bed by his brother who was six years younger than him, and even by the child he had watched grow up.
At this time, Chengyi also quickly found the right place. He heard the man’s originally shameful and angry voice quickly soften, and watched him tremble uncontrollably under his hands, and finally collapsed in sweat. Chu Tingyun’s mind was confused during the whole process. A few strands of his hair were wet and stuck to his flushed skin, and his lips were slightly open and panting, red as hell.
Then he was turned over. The young man held one of his legs and placed it on his shoulder, tilted his head and gently kissed Chu Tingyun’s injured knee, then slowly kissed upwards.
“Gege……”
“Tingyun-gege, I…have liked you since I was sixteen.”
Maybe even before that—
??? …
The pure love and admiration from a younger brother and fan gradually turned into love over time, so when he was twelve years old, he gave the most important little Guanyin to Chu Tingyun, and then it became concrete in a vague dream on the New Year’s Eve when he was sixteen years old.
——I like him.
Ye Chengyi was sure at that moment.
The boy leaned over and wanted a kiss.
But Chu Tingyun was really uncomfortable and in pain at this time, and his eyelashes were wet with pain. The man gasped lightly and hummed unbearably. He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Chengyi in the face.
Snap——
Since Chu Tingyun didn’t have much strength at that moment, the slap wasn’t loud, but the young man still slightly turned his head. A few seconds later, Chengyi licked the corner of his lips, his expression indifferent. He turned back and continued kissing.
“Save some strength, gege. Tomorrow, I’ll let you hit me as much as you want.”
“…”
Chu Tingyun couldn’t speak. With the little strength he had left, he scratched up Chengyi’s back, leaving several red marks. However, soon enough, his body gradually adapted, and then came pleasure—unprecedented pleasure. Chu Tingyun was the type to forget pain as soon as he felt good, and once he was enjoying himself, his mood improved.
“Sixteen years old…ha, Ye Chengyi you are so awesome…”
“You were so good before… you were just pretending, huh?”
Chu Tingyun was angry and ashamed that he was already thinking about how to f*ck him at the age of sixteen, but when he felt happy later, he was a little proud that the child had been hiding his secret love for him for more than two years.
“No wonder you refused to sleep with me afterwards. Did you dream about this that night?”
“Ye Chengyi, you are so perverted…”
Cheng Yi really admired Chu Tingyun’s shamelessness. He thought the other party would be embarrassed for a while, but he didn’t expect that he would start talking dirty now.
“Gege, lift your legs higher. Don’t you lift them that high on the ice?”
“Shit, I trained in figure skating just… so it’d be easier for you to do this, huh?”
“Oh? Is that what you think, Tingyun-gege?”
The oil was all over the skin on the inside of the man’s thigh, and as his muscles trembled, reflecting an extremely provocative luster under the light. Finally, Chu Tingyun couldn’t bear it anymore; he grabbed the boy’s hair, forced him to look up at him, and weakly ordered—
“Carry me to take a bath.”
But Ye Chengyi, who never stopped, looked full of energy.
“One more time, gege, huh?”
He bit open the new package.
Chu Tingyun: “….”
This bath was not taken until 3:30 in the morning.
The bed sheets that had just been changed at that time were no longer suitable for sleeping, so Chengyi changed them into a new set and then carried the cleaned Chu Tingyun to bed to apply medicine.
Zhou Ze was still sleeping on the couch in the living room, having been dead asleep after getting drunk the previous night.
Meanwhile, Chengyi’s parents had gone on a trip these past few days to enjoy their time together.
Even though they had a child, Ye Cunshan and Xie Fengjun always consciously maintained their love, never letting it turn into mere familial affection. So once Chengyi was independent enough to take care of himself, the two of them would go on a solo vacation every year.
After Chengyi finished hanging up the bed sheets, he turned around to see Zhou Ze waking up.
Zhou Ze looked at the sheets, then at Chengyi.
“Ye-ge, did you throw up on the bed last night?”
“…No, I just thought they needed washing.”
“Oh.”
Zhou Ze stretched and moved around a bit. He hadn’t slept well on the couch and his back ached.
At that moment, Chengyi brushed past him, and Zhou Ze suddenly noticed something, grabbing him.
“Hey, wait a minute!”
He sniffed around Chengyi like a puppy.
“What’s that smell on you?”
Chengyi tensed up instantly, but he had already showered, so there shouldn’t be any smell. Still, he quickly shoved Zhou Ze away.
“What are you doing?”
“We both drank the same alcohol last night, so how come you smell so nice this morning? Did you put on cologne?”
Chengyi had taken two showers, and the incense in his bedroom had burned all night, so naturally, some scent lingered on him.
He exhaled in relief and then replied disdainfully, “Zhou Ze, it’s because you didn’t shower last night!”
After that, Chengyi bypassed him and went straight into the kitchen. He skillfully tied on an apron, opened the fridge, and began preparing to cook.
Zhou Ze watched him for about ten minutes, his expression growing more and more curious, then he moved closer to Chengyi.
“Ye-ge, did you have a dirty dream last night? Why do you look so… pleased this morning?”
The slight smile on Chengyi’s lips instantly disappeared.
“…”
He turned to glance at his dumb friend, then wordlessly picked up a kitchen knife.
“How did you sleep last night?”
“Not that well. It was kind of noisy at first, like someone was having an argument and slamming doors.”
“…Then what?”
Zhou Ze suddenly felt a chill down his neck and instinctively took a step back. “Then I fell asleep, slept straight through till just now.”
“Oh.”
Chengyi put down the knife.
“You should go take a shower. You reek of alcohol.”
Zhou Ze sniffed himself and realized he did smell pretty bad.
“Alright then.”
He turned and headed back home.
Chengyi made some soup and cooked a light, easily digestible porridge. He also placed an online order for some fresh meat and vegetables. The meat in the fridge was bought yesterday, but he wanted to make something fresher for Chu Tingyun.
Buzz buzz—
His phone vibrated.
Chengyi saw it was a message from Chu Tingyun.
Tingyun-gege: Come in.
Xun Xun: Sure~
Half a minute later, Chu Tingyun was lying on the bed, bossily instructing Chengyi to find him some clothes to wear.
“Alright.”
Chengyi wasn’t upset, but before going to get the clothes, he lifted Chu Tingyun’s leg to check on it.
Chu Tingyun hadn’t expected that sudden move and, flustered, shouted angrily—
“Ye Chengyi!!!”
Chengyi let go and obediently said, “Okay, gege, I’ll go to your room and get your clothes.”
But Chu Tingyun, being impatient, didn’t want to wait. “No need for that trouble, just give me yours.”
Chengyi hesitated for a moment. “The clothes are fine, but the underwear…”
Chu Tingyun responded naturally, “Don’t you have new ones that have already been washed?”
“…”
Chengyi was silent for a few seconds.
“Gege, did you forget? We’re not the same size.”
Chu Tingyun: “…”
But he insisted on wearing them anyway!!
With a slight tilt of his chin, the man said, “Lately, my underwear’s been feeling a bit tight. Perfect time to switch to a bigger size.”
Chengyi suppressed a smile. “Alright then.”
He went to the wardrobe to find something for Chu Tingyun.
He picked out a white pair, brand new, washed but never worn.
Squatting by the bed, Chengyi said, “Lift your foot.”
Chu Tingyun raised his foot to put it on, then slowly stood up, casually enjoying being helped into his clothes.
But at the last moment, Chu Tingyun’s expression turned particularly strange.
His delicate sense of pride made him push Chengyi’s hand away and pull up the underwear himself, adjusting it snugly.
Feigning nonchalance, Chu Tingyun said, “Mm, fits perfectly.”
