Chapter 60: Kissing

“K-K-K-Kiss what?!” Yu Xi asked, his face filled with utter disbelief as he stammered.

Gu Chuanzhou enounced each word even more clearly: “Kissing.”

“…”

Yu Xi no longer suspected that he had misheard. He stared blankly at Gu Chuanzhou. Three seconds later, he suddenly bounded off the high stool at the bar counter like a rabbit, darted behind the curtains, and pulled them closed to block himself from view.

“I don’t want to!”

Gu Chuanzhou still carried a faint smile on his face as he paced toward Yu Xi, his steps neither hurried nor slow. “Why don’t you want to? Perhaps you’ll like it.”

“I just don’t want to! Don’t come any closer!” Watching the man draw nearer and nearer, Yu Xi, in his state of panic and helplessness, subconsciously burrowed into the corner behind the curtains that looked safer. However, this only left him with absolutely nowhere left to run.

He wrapped himself tightly in the curtains, but a pulling force soon traveled through the fabric.

Gu Chuanzhou’s voice echoed from outside the curtain: “Xixi, don’t forget that you still owe me a condition.”

Yu Xi widened his eyes: “But I already let you into the room!”

“I never said letting me into the room was my condition. You misunderstood.”

Ultimately, he was no match for Gu Chuanzhou. He was also afraid of tearing someone else’s curtains and didn’t dare to use too much force, allowing Gu Chuanzhou to rip the curtains open anyway.

He watched helplessly as Gu Chuanzhou leaned down and drew close, causing him to shrink into a tight ball, pinning himself firmly against the wall.

“Why are you so frightened?”

Gu Chuanzhou leaned over, very gently lifting Yu Xi out of the corner. By the time he placed him onto the sofa, he acted with quick eyes and swift hands, controlling the person trying to flee once more within his embrace with just the right amount of force. Held face-to-face, he saw Yu Xi desperately tilting his head back, and a flash of loneliness crossed his eyes.

“Does Xixi loathe me that much?”

The tone in which this question was asked was exceptionally sorrowful, causing one’s heart to clench.

Yu Xi slowly ceased his struggles. After agonizing over it for a short moment, he mumbled, “It’s not that I loathe you…”

“Then why are you so resistant? Didn’t we agree? You promised me a condition, and I wouldn’t let Zhang Xingkuo know that I accompanied you to see your mother.”

Gu Chuanzhou’s eyes were tinged with a sorrow as bleak and cold as this winter night, his voice hushed.

“That day, you abandoned me and left with him, leaving me to return alone. I originally thought we would return together. I had even thought out what we would eat for lunch, wondering if you would soften your heart and stay a bit longer if the dishes were all your favorites… In the end, I was all by myself.”

Listening to this, all the fear and panic from earlier fled far away from Yu Xi. His brows knitted tightly together, and he unconsciously bit his lip: “D-Don’t think that I’ll soften my heart just because you’re playing the pity card.”

Gu Chuanzhou blanked out for a rare moment, then let out a laugh.

Xixi has become smarter.

“But what I said is true. That day you left, I felt completely empty inside.” Gu Chuanzhou rested his hand on Yu Xi’s lower back, rubbing against the slightly stiff fabric of the sash every now and then. “If you go back on your word, I will truly be sad to the point of dying.”

Yu Xi pursed his lips: “Don’t exaggerate so much… It’s mainly because your condition is a bit too much. How can we… how can we kiss?”

“It’s just an attempt. It’s nothing more than two pairs of lips pressing against each other briefly; there’s nothing to be afraid of. If you feel uncomfortable, we can stop at any time.” Gu Chuanzhou continued his coaxing enticement. “Our Xixi is magnanimous. Let’s just try it once, alright?”

After this succession of moves, Yu Xi was swayed.

A few traces of hesitation surfaced on his face, indicating he was already considering whether to agree. However, this slight opening was instantly seized by Gu Chuanzhou. In the next second, his chin was lifted, closely followed by a soft sensation against his lips.

They were kissing. It was cold.

This was the first thought that popped into Yu Xi’s blank mind as he unconsciously closed his eyes tightly.

The slightly cool touch perfectly matched the impression Gu Chuanzhou gave off—just like the minty woody fragrance consistently present on his body—crisp and chilly.

It seemed… there really wasn’t much to it; it was just a simple pressing together of flesh against flesh.

But very quickly, it became different.

Gu Chuanzhou began to rub wildly against his lips, grinding over them repeatedly, frictioning his lips until they burned hot.

“Mph!”

Gu Chuanzhou had actually nipped his lower lip, biting it lightly.

Yu Xi hastily opened his eyes, wanting to question whether Gu Chuanzhou was a puppy to be biting people randomly. However, the moment he opened his eyes and met Gu Chuanzhou’s scorching gaze, he instantly felt a sense of foreboding.

It was already too late. The words of interrogation never left his mouth; his parted lips gave the other man an opening, completely delivering himself into the tiger’s jaws.

Gu Chuanzhou’s tongue drove straight in, squeezing into the soft and watery little mouth.

Who knew how long Gu Chuanzhou had craved this exact moment. After exercising all kinds of restraint, the marvelous sensation when he truly kissed him far exceeded his imagination, making his head spin with dizziness. It felt so good it made his scalp tingle, and even his heart trembled unceasingly because of it.

The youth’s lips were as soft as clouds and as sweet as honey; he only wished he could swallow him whole in one bite.

The starved beast that had hungered for so long finally tasted meat, and its beastly nature could no longer be controlled.

Yu Xi’s mouth was pried wide open, his tiny tongue sucked out past his lips. The fluids in his oral cavity were thrown into utter disarray, his entire mind filled with the wanton sounds produced by their passionate kiss.

This… wasn’t right. Didn’t they agree it would just be a brief press?

Why was he consuming his tongue and saliva like this?

Yu Xi didn’t know that kissing was actually like this. He felt as though he was on the verge of being broken apart and consumed by Gu Chuanzhou, and fear caused faint, broken sobs to spill from his throat.

He wanted to hide, but his back was firmly held; he couldn’t even manage to turn his head. Reaching out his hands to push the man away was completely futile; the man’s strength was immense, akin to an ant trying to shake a giant tree.

Yu Xi could only take it. The tip of his tongue was sucked until it went numb, losing all sensation, feeling as though it were about to break.

He simply didn’t know how to breathe during a kiss, while Gu Chuanzhou seemed to have gone mad, kissing endlessly with fierce frenzy, not giving him a single chance to catch his breath.

His oxygen-deprived brain began to grow dizzy, and his hands and feet lost all their strength. Yu Xi’s entire body felt like a puddle of water in the man’s arms.

An unknown amount of time passed before he felt that his tongue and mouth no longer belonged to him, and he was finally let go.

With a dazed look in his eyes, he stared blankly as a long silvery thread of saliva pulled along when Gu Chuanzhou retracted his tongue.

After that silver thread broke, Gu Chuanzhou licked the corner of his mouth as if he hadn’t had enough, asking, “Was it comfortable? Xixi.”

This brazen question allowed the kiss-dazed Yu Xi to sober up slightly. Sobbing, he said, “It wasn’t comfortable at all. I hate you to death, get away from me…”

Gu Chuanzhou’s expression remained unchanged: “Is that so? Why don’t I feel that way?”

Yu Xi wanted to curse, but before the words could leave his mouth, he was frightened into a trembling gasp by a hand sliding beneath the hem of his robe.

Gu Chuanzhou supported him with his hand, pretending to be bewildered: “If it wasn’t comfortable, why did Xixi turn out like this?”

Yu Xi slowly lowered his head, his pitch-black pupils shrinking as his brain ground to a halt, shocked by his own physical changes.

The properly fastened yukata had somehow grown messy once more.

None of the obvious signs could be concealed.

And it wasn’t just him; it was Gu Chuanzhou as well.

“Xixi, the body’s reaction cannot lie. You like being kissed by me.” The darkness in Gu Chuanzhou’s eyes burned brightly. His thin lips lightly brushed against Yu Xi’s earlobe, continuing to coax him just as he had done to make him agree to the kiss earlier. “Do you want to try something else?”

“It will be even more comfortable and more wonderful than kissing.”
