Zhang Qiling must have never thought in his life that he would one day let go of all the shame and bare himself open in front of his soulmate, his lover, his light, his only connection to this mortal world.
But it was all worth it!
Once they were in, Wu Xie gave fresh clothes and a towel to Zhang for freshening up. But Zhang stood there with a face which clearly said, "You dare trick me again?"
As if understanding the worry, Wu Xie took a step towards the one he admired and engulfed him in a soft hug. Resting his chin on the other's shoulder, he said in almost a whisper, "I promise, I won't leave."
At this time, Wu Xie's lips were so close to Zhang's ears that they almost touched the earlobe. Zhang's eartips grew red and a shiver went down his spine. Coming back to his senses, he just made a sound agreeing with the other.
15 minutes later, Zhang was out and his nose was immediately invaded by the aroma of the spicy hotpot that was cooking right now. Wu Xie as if sensing the other, looked up and waved to him, asking him to sit.
Both had their lunch or whatever you call it (your author forgot what time of the day the three had come here, sorryđź«Ł) and then sat on the small sofa in the middle of the room.
"Why did you come here?" Finally Zhang spoke breaking the deafening silence.
Wu Xie paused and then took a deep breathe.
"I wanted to be alone for a while. So much has happened. Yesterday all was fine and today I suddenly became an orphan. Lost both my parents. This place has memories with my parents from when I was young. So I could only come here. And there..." Wu Xie pointed to his dog who was sleeping peacefully with ears perked up after having his food.
"... I didn't come alone. In my family, even the dogs are considered to be family members. They are treated as equal to humans. So I have a very efficient guard with me." Wu Xie explained and Zhang looked at him and the dog and back at him.
Zhang snaked his arm around Wu Xie's waist and pulled him in arms. Wu Xie was basically in between Zhang's two legs. He immediately locked Wu Xie by interlocking his own legs with the others.
"Wha- What are you doing?" The flustered Wu Xie asked.
"Claiming what's mine." Zhang said in a low voice which seemed like a growl.
A shiver ran down Wu Xie's spine. He stopped moving or resisting as if being charmed and then moved his head sideways to face Zhang.
"Be a good boy. I waited for a long time, Wu Xie. So let's do something that we used to do, maybe you could remember something. It was more like you did everything. You were too energetic. And now it seems like we have exchanged roles. But no worry." Zhang said in the same voice, except this time he chose to speak directly in Wu Xie's ears.
Wu Xie trembled and nodded, while his eyes closed in response. Wu Xie turned around and kissed Zhang Qiling, leaving the other's emotions and thoughts in confusion.
Zhang: Wait! Wasn't I suppose to be the one to initiate a kiss?
Wu Xie: Xiao Ge, I can only Top. How about you be the bottom?
Zhang: "....."
As expected Zhang Qiling's breathing became turned ragged. While kissing Wu Xie, he led both of them in the bedroom, onto the bed.
Wu Xie narrowed his eyes and very quickly got into the mood. Might be because Zhang's thoughtfulness had comforted him, so he believed on instinct that Zhang might not do anything to harm him, and so he opened his body without any doubts in mind.
Seeing Zhang take off his clothes, Wu Xie couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"
"Shh, don't ask. Just lie down. I will make you feel good." Zhang placed his one finger on Wu Xie's lips and answered very tenderly making Wu Xie's brain flare up.
Wu Xie most definitely understood what Zhang was about to do and he couldn't wrap his head around it. But before he could do anything, Zhang leaned over and bit his neck. It wasn't light or heavy, but it gained him Wu Xie's low moan in response.
This made things even worse. Zhang pulled aside Wu Xie's loose t-shirt, and kissed him like the falling rain.
Wu Xie's body trembled slightly. He was both obedient and nervous, unconsciously biting down on his lower lip and suppressing his voice.
Zhang: "Call out to me."Â
Wu Xie's heart trembled, his eyes full of lust and shine. "Xiao Ge..."
Zhang: "Mm."
His low voice was so sexy it turned him into a mess. Wu Xie really hadn't known he could be so sensitive. Also it was Wu Xie's first time for everything, and Zhang had been so bold right now. He was definitely topping, which was completely opposite to what Wu Xie had planned.
His unfocused eyes slowly started focusing, and Wu Xie's expression started becoming a bit indifferent?
Zhang noticed it and kissed him on his forehead. "Does it feel good?" and Wu Xie nodded with an affirmative sound.
"What's wrong?" Zhang asked noticing that Wu Xie's mind was somewhere else.
Not getting any answer, Zhang sat up on the bed besides Wu Xie and pulled the other up in his arms, rubbing his back and the back of his head occasionally.
"Xiao ge," Wu Xie said very dryly and tightened his hold on Zhang.Â
"I'm here." Zhang worriedly replied.
"I love you, Zhang Qiling. I have always loved you. I'm sorry it took me long to remember you." Wu Xie said and Zhang even replied with a "hm." But then it struck him. Wu Xie said:
"I'm sorry it took me long to remember you."
