Chapter 44 – Public

Ye Zhou was forced to move his kitchen over, so naturally, he couldn’t return home tonight. He wanted to go back for pajamas, but Guan Heng wouldn’t allow it, leaving him to wear Guan Heng’s slightly larger new pajamas again.

After he finished his shower and dressed, he recalled Guan Heng’s confession-like words during the stormy night and suddenly realized that this pajama might have been specially prepared for him. Guan Heng had been trying to win him over from a long time ago; he just hadn’t noticed, even pursuing Guan Heng enthusiastically. Thinking about the situation at the time made him feel silly, and he couldn’t help but smile.

But he didn’t mind these things at all; it wasn’t a big deal. Being someone Guan Heng cared about could only mean that Guan Heng truly cared for him. He didn’t see anything wrong with that.

When he willingly entered a relationship with Guan Heng, he had already prepared himself to accept both his strengths and weaknesses. Besides, Guan Heng’s flaws… couldn’t really be called flaws, they might seem scary to ordinary people, but to him, they still looked quite adorable. He found such a Guan Heng very clingy, which he actually liked.

After Ye Zhou took a shower and came out, it was Guan Heng’s turn. By the time they were both lying in bed, it was already past eleven o’clock at night, nearing midnight.

The cold scent on Guan Heng’s body was gone, replaced by a pleasant woody fragrance. Ye Zhou, using Guan Heng’s shampoo and body wash, was also filled with this scent. Lying in Guan Heng’s bed, he felt as if he was being held in Guan Heng’s embrace.

Humans are visual creatures, but they are also olfactory animals. This scent easily reminded him of some passionate and seductive scenes, but it might also be due to Guan Heng’s intentional or unintentional teasing during dinner. After lying down for a while, Ye Zhou surprisingly found himself having a reaction. He thought to himself, somewhat speechless, “Brother, why are you getting excited when you shouldn’t?”

He turned to look at Guan Heng. Guan Heng seemed to be asleep, quietly closing his eyes with steady breathing.

Guan Heng looked good without his glasses on, a different kind of attractiveness. The scholarly air was lessened, replaced with a sharp and handsome edge, and his current sleeping appearance made his features appear even more handsome, indescribably sexy.

Ye Zhou didn’t dare to look anymore after just a glance, quickly turning his back. He suspected that sleeping with Guan Heng every day would inevitably lead to something happening. Who could resist that?

However, once Ye Zhou got excited, it was difficult to suppress it. The person lying next to him and this scent were almost like blatant temptations.

Ye Zhou tried hard to calm down but still couldn’t sleep. His body was clearly tired, yet his spirit was inexplicably excited. He tossed and turned for a while, unsure if he had woken Guan Heng up. Suddenly, the latter turned over and hugged him from behind, his voice close enough as if it was right by his ear, “Can’t sleep?”

Ye Zhou’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, inexplicably nervous, perhaps carrying a bit of anticipation he couldn’t distinguish. “A little.”

His current mood was complex and conflicted. He wanted physical intimacy with Guan Heng but was a bit afraid of being dominated. Yet, his body’s response was honest. As soon as Guan Heng hugged him, his desire immediately awakened.

Ye Zhou couldn’t see that his ears had turned red, but Guan Heng did. He could feel the person in his arms tensing up slightly. “Want to do it?”

Ye Zhou didn’t answer, not knowing how to respond.

Guan Heng asked again, “Not used to it yet?”

Ye Zhou gave a soft “Mm-hmm.”

Guan Heng didn’t continue speaking, only extending his left hand under the covers, lifting the pajama top, and reaching inside the pajama bottoms.

Ye Zhou’s breath suddenly caught. Because Guan Heng directly grabbed his most sensitive spot. The engorged and excited organ became even harder in Guan Heng’s hand, the tip even wet, demonstrating Ye Zhou’s current contradiction and longing.

But Ye Zhou didn’t resist, remaining docile. As if, if Guan Heng wanted to, he wouldn’t refuse.

Guan Heng lowered his eyes to watch Ye Zhou’s expression. His slender and powerful fingers wrapped around the shaft, the index finger teasingly lightly sliding over the tiny hole at the tip of the glans.

Ye Zhou’s breathing suddenly deepened, slightly frowning, but not making a sound, even closing his eyes to feel the touch of the fingers, which was both comfortable and enjoyable.

Guan Heng called his name, “Ye Zhou.”

Ye Zhou slowly opened his eyes, turning his head to look at Guan Heng somewhat dazedly, giving a hoarse “Mm-hmm” with a voice filled with lust, his eyes carrying desire he didn’t even realize himself.

Guan Heng looked at him for a moment, his fingers suddenly tightening, ending the ambiguous teasing, starting to masturbate him.

“Ahh…” Ye Zhou finally couldn’t help but cry out. His hands remained at his sides, not stopping Guan Heng’s actions, allowing his penis to be casually handled by the person in front of him. He slightly tilted his head back, staring at Guan Heng with an intense gaze, full of affection and lust, looking very much like a posture begging for a kiss.

So Guan Heng leaned down to kiss him, his left hand skillfully stimulating Ye Zhou’s sensitive spots, his tongue attacking like an invading force, both above and below emitting sounds of sticky and ambiguous moisture.

Ye Zhou’s eardrums were stimulated by such sounds, his body becoming even more aroused. He reached around to hook Guan Heng’s neck with one hand, the other attempting to touch Guan Heng’s crotch.

But Guan Heng didn’t let him, pressing his hand back down and sucking hard on his tongue.

Ye Zhou gave a pained moan, quickly distracted, changing targets to chase Guan Heng’s tongue.

Guan Heng welcomed Ye Zhou’s active and passionate kiss, the speed of his five fingers rubbing continued to increase.

“Mmm…” Ye Zhou emitted a comfortable moan from his throat, his body trembling and tensing up, seemingly close to climax. His mind was blank, unable to think of anything, after humming several times in succession, he finally surrendered in Guan Heng’s hands.

Ye Zhou panted breathlessly, somewhat dazed. After a while, he seemed to have made enough mental preparations for further action. But Guan Heng didn’t continue touching him, only pulling out his hand, which had been soaked by bodily fluids from his pants, and wiping it dry with tissues.

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment before asking, “Don’t we…do it?”

“No.” Guan Heng looked the same as usual, as if doing or not doing didn’t affect him much, “Just sleep now that you’re comfortable.”

“But…” Ye Zhou was comfortable, but there was always a vague sense of emptiness.

Guan Heng said again, “It’s fine, just go change your underwear.”

With Guan Heng saying this much, Ye Zhou didn’t dare to ask further, only taking another new pair of underwear to change. When he returned to the bed, Guan Heng was still waiting for him. They exchanged a kiss, Ye Zhou trying to make up for Guan Heng with a few extra kisses, Guan Heng indulgently stroking the back of his neck. After a moderate release, Ye Zhou quickly felt drowsiness coming over him. This time, he didn’t toss and turn anymore, quickly falling asleep surrounded by Guan Heng’s scent.

And just a few days before the New Year, Ye Zhou also made public his relationship with Guan Heng. Fang Ji had known for a long time, and the restaurant staff tacitly understood, but they still celebrated by booking a bar.

This night’s bar was closed for business, considered a gathering among friends.

Ye Zhou, besides inviting some close friends, also invited Lin Jie and Zhou Jiayi. When he decided to pursue Guan Heng, he had asked them for help many times, and this meal was owed to them.

Only Zhou Jiayi found out the truth upon arriving at the scene, shocked to the point where his jaw almost dropped: “When did this happen? How come I didn’t know…”

Lin Jie had guessed from the beginning, but he didn’t expect Ye Zhou to actually succeed in winning Guan Heng’s heart.

Now the two of them were together, enjoying their own world, so it was normal that they didn’t know many things.

Ye Zhou smiled and chatted with them for a few sentences, then was quickly called away.

Ye Zhou entered society early, and his friends came from various industries, not necessarily knowing each other, but the bar was originally a very suitable place for solitude. Those who knew each other could chat together, those who didn’t could idle chat for a few sentences, or drink alone. Everyone played their own way, however they felt comfortable, and if they had something to do and wanted to leave early, it didn’t matter, there weren’t so many rules.

After all, Ye Zhou’s main purpose was to show off that he had a boyfriend. With a boyfriend so handsome and excellent, how could he not bring him out to make others envious.

Those who knew Ye Zhou better knew that he was a top, but after seeing Guan Heng, they started joking with Ye Zhou, asking who topped and who bottomed, after all, Guan Heng looked refined, but didn’t seem like he was on the bottom either. This circle wasn’t large, but not small either. Those who had heard Guan Heng’s name knew how unattainable this man was. Just describing him as a social elite wasn’t enough. But unexpectedly, this high and distant flower was finally picked.

Sexual matters were between two people and didn’t need to be brought out to satisfy other people’s curiosity. So Ye Zhou only gave an ambiguous smile, revealing nothing, but smiling with a clear tendency to mislead. After all, as a top, being dominated in bed wasn’t exactly a glorious thing, so indulging in bragging a little shouldn’t be a big deal… right?

At this moment, Fang Ji called out to Ye Zhou, saying that the alcohol was finished. Ye Zhou went with him to the warehouse to get more.

Fang Ji walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Ye Zhou, naturally wanting to put his hand on Ye Zhou’s shoulder, but Ye Zhou suddenly dodged to the side, leaving his hand empty.

Fang Ji asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Zhou couldn’t tell him Guan Heng’s private affairs. He knew that Guan Heng disliked others touching him and it was best to avoid overly intimate physical contact, so he said, “Teacher Guan doesn’t like it, he’ll get jealous.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Ji had an incredulous look on his face, “He doesn’t look like that.”

Although Guan Heng wasn’t here, Ye Zhou still guiltily rubbed his nose, “Don’t look at him like that, he’s very clingy.”

Fang Ji still had a look of shock, finding it hard to imagine Guan Heng being clingy, “You guys… are pretty romantic.”

Ye Zhou smiled without refuting it.

He had just moved the alcohol out when he saw Guan Heng chatting with those friends who had teased him earlier. Ye Zhou was startled, his friends shouldn’t say anything inappropriate, right? Guan Heng usually gave off a distant impression, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t socialize. It was simply a matter of whether he wanted to or not; there was nothing he couldn’t do. Rather, it was his friends who seemed a bit restrained, not daring to joke around recklessly.

After putting down the alcohol, Ye Zhou hurried over.

Guan Heng turned to see Ye Zhou and smiled at him, looking as usual, not seeming to have noticed anything.

Ye Zhou probably felt guilty, so until the party ended, he obediently stayed with Guan Heng.
