The kiss was like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly shattering the previously peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, sending out ripples of ambiguous and fiery waves.
Yan Xun was completely caught off guard by Chu Tingyun’s sudden attack. Unprepared, he was even thrown onto the bed by the other party. The next moment, the man’s tongue pried open his teeth. The mingling of their lips and tongues, the tingling and unexpected astonishment, made him unable to react immediately or take any countermeasures.
“Mmm…”
So for the next ten seconds, Yan Xun was pressed onto the bed and kissed all over by the man, even having the neat collar of his pajamas torn open. Chu Tingyun’s style of doing things and kissing was always straightforward, simple, and rough.
Aside from work requirements, he always acted according to the most straightforward and sincere thoughts in his heart.
However, in some cases, to show off, he would occasionally pretend to be a bit reserved, playing the role of a refined and cultured scoundrel. But that was a rare situation. Most of the time, he played by his own rules, doing whatever he liked.
In short, it was already unprecedented that he had acted this way in front of Yan Xun.
At that moment, the young man had just brushed his teeth. His tongue carried a faint hint of mint, and the interior of his mouth was warm and moist. Psychologically, Chu Tingyun even felt a bit of sweetness.
Kissing was a matter of talent.
For example, Chu Tingyun, with his excellent genes, was very perceptive, naturally understanding it without any guidance. It could also be because he grew up in his mother’s homeland where passionate kisses were commonplace and seen everywhere, so he naturally picked it up.
In any case, seeing Yan Xun lying on the bed with a flushed face and dazed expression made Chu Tingyun’s ears buzz and his entire body’s blood rush to his head. He completely forgot how he felt at that moment. He just kissed him, even going further by extending his tongue, completely forgetting that the exchange of saliva was something he once found unacceptable.
The indescribable thrill and pleasure at that moment made him throw away morality, principles, and reason. Such behavior as a forced kiss after drinking could have led Yan Xun to go to the police to accuse him of sexual harassment.
But the embarrassed and pure-hearted male college student didn’t report it. Instead, he gave Chu Tingyun a hard punch and then tied him up and spanked him, as if teaching a misbehaving child a lesson.
Yan Xun’s strength had been great since childhood. In his anger, he didn’t hold back, so that night, Chu Tingyun’s buttocks were swollen. He lay on the bed in pain all night, too embarrassed to go to the hospital, let alone to the police to file a report.
For the following week, he slept on his stomach and stood while at work. During meetings, Chu Tingyun sat there with a gloomy face, causing several senior executives to tremble in fear, thinking that something must be wrong and fearing that Chu would explode in anger.
As a result, the company’s work efficiency during that period was exceptionally high, and project progress was unprecedentedly smooth and swift.
But Chu Tingyun didn’t pay much attention to these details. During that time, his mind was filled with Yan Xun’s flushed and embarrassed face and his own aching buttocks.
Damn! Even his parents had never spanked him like this!
In short, the ambiguous and emotional entanglement, along with the humiliation and resentment, were now established.
Chu Tingyun quickly realized that he might be interested in that male college student, even liking him a bit.
It was a kind of physiological attraction, a liking without reason.
Chu Tingyun had previously dated two people, but the feelings now were completely different from before.
The first was a girl who liked figure skating when he was just twenty years old.
She was a year younger than him, very lively and cheerful. She actively pursued Chu Tingyun, preparing a grand confession on the ice rink during their first meeting.
However, after they confirmed their relationship, they broke up in less than half a month.
At that time, Chu Tingyun had just entered the company and was extremely busy, forgetting to call or message his girlfriend from morning till night. The girl, full of anticipation and expectation for the relationship, couldn’t stand the new boyfriend’s coldness. What was originally meant to be a threat to scare him turned into the other party agreeing directly.
The girl was very angry and sad, crying and scolding Chu Tingyun for playing with her feelings.
[Since you don’t like me at all, why did you agree to my confession in the first place?!]
Chu Tingyun didn’t know either. In any case, when the girl stood on the ice rink in a beautiful figure skating outfit, looking at him with full expectation, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
The second relationship was when Chu Tingyun was twenty-five. By then, he had firmly established himself as the vice president of a branch company. He needed a female companion for various business dinners.
Chu Tingyun found it too troublesome to find someone, so he picked the most attractive and obedient one among many suitors to be his girlfriend.
This ex-girlfriend was young, beautiful, had good taste, was understanding and considerate, with high emotional intelligence, and was always available. She would never embarrass Chu Tingyun at any event.
At the same time, she didn’t need Chu Tingyun to call her every day or send messages, caring for her. As long as he periodically sent money for her to shop, it was enough.
At that time, Chu Tingyun was very satisfied, thinking she was a perfect partner.
So this relationship lasted stably for three months, and Chu Tingyun was very comfortable, planning to hold on to this relationship like buying stocks for the long term.
However, at this time, she suddenly wanted to kiss him. Chu Tingyun, who was a germaphobe, felt like he had been struck by lightning. He immediately announced the end of the relationship and generously gave a substantial severance payment.
At that time, he had never thought that he would end up liking men and doing something like a drunken forced kiss.
But precisely such things happened, and the other party was his sister’s boyfriend.
Chu Tingyun put in some effort to forget what happened that night but failed. One night, he even dreamed about the male college student and ended up soiling his underwear.
So later, he couldn’t help but start approaching Yan Xun through Jingshu, his newly acquainted boyfriend.
This was an extremely shameless behavior, which he was fully aware of, but still went ahead with it.
During that period, it was probably the time when Chu Tingyun and his half-sister had the best relationship.
Jiang Jingshu was surprised and confused, not understanding why every time her brother invited her to meals or outings, she had to bring Yan Xun along.
It was from then on that Chu Tingyun’s and Yan Xun’s lives silently intertwined.
Probably due to the poor first impression, Yan Xun had always been unfriendly towards Chu Tingyun, either coldly ignoring him or confronting him. Only occasionally, out of respect for Jing Shu, would his attitude soften a bit.
For the first time in his life, Chu Tingyun, who was used to being surrounded by admiration due to his status, ability, wealth, and handsome face, experienced what it meant to feel defeated.
He liked his younger sister’s boyfriend and shamelessly planned to steal him away.
Yet, despite his efforts, he couldn’t achieve it!
So over the years, Chu Tingyun remained firmly convinced that Yan Xun liked Jingshu.
However, this feeling of defeat was completely overturned after Yan Xun lost his memory.
Now, his little husband was willing to be hugged, kissed, and even smiled at him sweetly.
In fact, after losing his memory, it seemed Yan Xun had forgotten how to kiss. Chu Tingyun clearly sensed his awkwardness and nervousness, but he didn’t refuse.
…This was just too cute!
Chu Tingyun felt his heart pounding uncontrollably. It felt like Yan Xun had been turned into a blank slate, and now only he could freely draw on it.
He is mine.
While kissing the young man beneath him, Chu Tingyun was excited and thrilled, thinking to himself…
He is finally going to belong to me completely.
After the initial confusion and shock, Yan Xun gradually came to realize what was happening. The heated entanglement of their lips and tongues sent waves of pleasure throughout his body. At this moment, various thoughts kept appearing in his mind.
I have been married to Chu Tingyun for three years.
I should have liked him very much before.
Now… it seems I still do a bit.
So he didn’t refuse Chu Tingyun and was pushed down half-heartedly.
In fact, Yan Xun’s physical strength was much greater than Chu Tingyun’s. If he really didn’t want it, he could easily tie him up and give him a beating.
But no, he even started to slowly respond.
However, at this moment, the tangled thoughts in his mind were not yet over.
Today, Lin Ran said that Chu Tingyun didn’t like him.
But if he didn’t like him, why did he always come close to him and kiss him every day?
Yan Xun initially doubted Zhou Ze’s words, and now he began to doubt his brother’s words as well, even though they were two of the people he trusted the most.
“Mmm…”
Suddenly, his tongue felt a pain. Chu Tingyun bit him.
The man gasped, and his hoarse voice sounded somewhat displeased:
“Focus, Xun Xun…”
While speaking, Chu Tingyun’s gaze was indiscreetly exploring Yan Xun’s flushed face. The intimacy from earlier made his eyes quite moist, and the usual coldness in his brows and eyes seemed to melt into sweet, warm honey.
…This appearance was just too tempting.
“…”
At the same time, Yan Xun’s breathing was also rapid. He unconsciously swallowed a few times, and his Adam’s apple moved distinctly.
He reached out, stroking the back of the man’s neck.
“Chu Tingyun.”
“Hmm?”
“On the day you came to the café to see me, there were two candies in the pocket of your trench coat…”
Candies?
Chu Tingyun didn’t understand why Yan Xun was bringing up that time at such a moment, but he thought Yan Xun might have remembered something. His passionate, hot-headed brain suddenly cooled down.
“Hmm, what about it?”
He felt anxious and uneasy but tried to maintain a normal tone on the surface.
But then, Chu Tingyun didn’t expect Yan Xun to ask him…
“Were they for me?”
“…?”
Chu Tingyun’s first reaction was that Yan Xun might have remembered the incident at the snow mountain villa. Even if he hadn’t fully remembered, he might have recalled some fragments.
This guess suddenly filled Chu Tingyun with a momentary fear, and he forgot how to speak.
Seeing that the man hesitated for a long time without answering immediately, Yan Xun asked again,
“Were they specifically brought for me?”
Chu Tingyun, coming to his senses, answered: “…Yes.”
He had only bought candy for one person.
On the coldest winter day in the Snow Country, in the early hours of the morning, he ran to every nearby supermarket and store.
But they were all closed. So Chu Tingyun went door to door asking if they had lychees or lychee-flavored candy.
Finally, a little girl from one of the families said she had some, but only a few pieces were left. Since Chu Tingyun was in a hurry, he didn’t bring money and instead used his wristwatch to trade. A watch worth millions, exchanged for a few candies. This was probably the most unprofitable transaction Chu Tingyun had ever made.
But it was worth it because those candies were like a magical remedy.
Yan Xun, who had not eaten for five days, ate the candy and was willing to eat breakfast the next morning.
Past memories flashed rapidly in Chu Tingyun’s mind as he stared at Yan Xun’s face, trying to find any trace of pain, anger, or disgust.
But there was none.
Instead, Yan Xun smiled.
He whispered, “So they were really brought specifically for me…”
Originally, he hadn’t planned to ask, but Lin Ran said…
[He doesn’t like you.]
So Yan Xun couldn’t help but ask.
In fact, he should have directly asked Chu Tingyun whether he liked him or not. But when the question came to his lips, he ended up asking about the two candies.
Were they for me?
Were they specifically for me?
And then he received an affirmative answer.
At that moment, Yan Xun’s hand moved from Chu Tingyun’s neck to the back of his head, then gently pressed him down, and kissed him.
It would have been better if Chu Tingyun hadn’t hesitated for that brief moment.
Yan Xun thought.
If so, he would feel that the other party liked him a little more.
