Encounters - Chapter 4.1

Translator: Deyonna

Xi Yu's original intention was to only tease him, but he found that Shen Zhi was particularly fun to tease. On the surface, he pretended to be calm, but his eyes exposed his already chaotic mind. Like a flapping fish thrown into a calm lake.

There is no moon tonight, and the light from the street lamps couldn't illuminate the small corners, but Xi Yu can clearly see the closing and opening of Shen Zhi's eyelashes and his moist eyes.

Xi Yu couldn't help but slow down his breathing. He didn't want to let go at all. The lake water must be gentle and clear and he wanted to be the one who waded in that water. The hand that held the earlobe slid down to hold the soft side of his face. He tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth to lightly press the pair of lips that had given him infinitely hot and fanciful thoughts. He just pressed it lightly, and there were no more extra movements. His impulses were not from physical desires, but from the instinctive desire to feel him and be close to him. Xi Yu could feel the body under his palm trembling slightly from the tension.

Shen Zhi nearly lost his balance. His heart was throbbing like it was about to break through the shackles of flesh and blood. They were so close, their breaths blended and their lips touched.

It feels like a dream.

Time was too fast to grasp, and when Xi Yu's lips left, Shen Zhi felt a burst of heat welling up in the rim of his eyes.

The moon is so dark, can I sneak into his arms?

His palm rubbed against his face, and the two retreated to a safe distance. The previous teasing in Xi Yu's voice was gone, only the gentleness hidden in the night. "I'll watch you go up. Good night."

Shen Zhi didn't want to leave him. He misses him so much, from the moment he thought of parting, he already missed him. His throat seemed to be choked by something, and he didn't know how to make a sound. But still nodded and turned to leave.

Tears welled up in his eyes with every step he took. He didn't know where this sourness and grievances came from. It was obvious that they had done such an intimate thing today, and it was the intimacy he had been looking forward to and fantasized about before.

If it was possible to maintain a sober appearance on the surface before, then after the kiss just now, Shen Zhi felt that his sentimental infatuation could no longer be concealed. He screamed in his heart that he didn't want to be separated, not for a moment, he wanted to be hugged and touched, he wanted to smell the breath he longed for and he didn't want to go back to that silent house all alone again. Drowning in an endless longing is so hard.

In the end, he couldn't help but turn around and trot to the window of Xi Yu's car. Right now, he didn't care about the tears streaming down his face, and just whispered in a trembling voice, "Can you stay… tonight…"

Xi Yu led him inside. When he was at the door, he was still shedding tears. Xi Yu didn't ask him what was wrong, didn't play that sloppy way to tease him, and thoughtfully wiped his tears.

It wasn't until Xi Yu hugged him to sleep that Shen Zhi stopped crying. With his mind a little clearer, he didn't know where to put his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xi Yu lost the tenderness and thoughtfulness he had just now, and he opened his mouth and straightforwardly asked, "Like me?"

Shen Zhi gave a light "en" in a nasal voice.

"How long? When did it happen?"

Shen Zhi sorted out his thoughts several times but still didn't know how to start.

Seeing his tangled and pitiful appearance, Xi Yu softened a little and patted him on the back. "Next time, let's slowly talk about it. Go to bed first."

After a while, he added, "Wait until you have figured it out yourself, and let's talk about it again."

Xi Yu turned off the light on the nightstand and the room fell into darkness. Only the breathing of the two of them could be heard.

"Don't bite your mouth." Xi Yu reached out and touched Shen Zhi's lip, which was really wet. "When did this habit start? En?"

Although Shen Zhi guessed that he had already discovered it long ago, he was still embarrassed to talk about it and just obediently did not bite his lip again.

After a while, Shen Zhi still didn't fall asleep. He was actually sleepy, but he just felt something was missing.

Feeling the subtle movements of the person in his arms, Xi Yu pinched his nape like a warning.

Shen Zhi did not dare to move. But after a while, a finger tapped on his lip, and a low voice came from the darkness above his head, "Open your mouth."

After that night, the two entered a magical state. Xi Yu didn't ask him again about that night. The company also seemed to have entered a very busy stage again, so he threw himself into work every day, but he would go to Shen Zhi's place to sleep when he had time. Sometimes he would come early, sometimes in the middle of the night. Just sleeping with Shen Zhi in his arms. Shen Zhi has gotten rid of the habit of sucking his lip and turned it into sucking Xi Yu's finger every night. When he couldn't come, he would send a message to notify Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi tacitly did not break this calmness, but just looked forward to his arrival every day. Occasionally, they can also have a meal together.

Shen Zhi didn't know how to cook, but he suddenly became interested in cooking. He wanted the two of them to have a meal at home.

As a result, the kitchen that had never been used became unusable in one day and was even mocked by Xi Yu.

Xi Yu is going on a business trip for a few days and will go abroad for a week. Shen Zhi was a little dejected. Before going to bed, he felt that he was really spoiled. He didn't even want to suck his lip anymore.

He wanted Xi Yu.

He was afraid of disturbing Xi Yu, so he didn't dare to call him. It was quite late when Xi Yu sent a message.

——Are you asleep?

——Not yet…

——Biting your mouth?

——No, I don't want to.

——How about I buy you a pacifier, baby.

Seeing the message, Shen Zhi was so ashamed that he immediately put down his phone, calmed down for a while, picked up the phone again, and replied righteously:

——No!

——Go to bed early. I keep my clothes in the closet.

The implication is self-evident. Shen Zhi was a little ashamed to be seen through, but he immediately opened the door of the closet and took out a shirt.

Xi Yu finished work a day early and took a plane at night, so he arrived early in the morning. But he still came directly to Shen Zhi. He kind of missed him.

Gently opening the door, through the light coming in from the window, he can see Shen Zhi hugging his shirt and curling up into a ball, with the edge of his shirt on his mouth, sleeping with a charming and silly face.

Xi Yu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, raised his hand, and stroked his soft hair. His heart was instantly filled with some indescribable emotion. He missed him more than he thought.
