Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu's daily life (1)
Xi Yu accidentally dropped his mobile phone on the seat during a meeting one day, and the mobile phone happened to be seen by Xiao Li, the last person to leave the meeting room.
He pressed the power button and saw that the lock screen was a photo of two people together. The two people in the photo are very intimate. Although it is said to be a picture of two, only the entire face of one of them is shown, and you can only see the ears and the angle of the jaw of the other man. The boy with the whole face exposed looked very young, with very white skin, half of his face was buried in the shoulders of the person next to him, his red lips were sucking the earlobe of the other person, and was sound asleep.
It hasn't been long since Xiao Li came to the company, so he hadn't seen Shen Zhi much. He took a photo of the phone to the company's group, asked who lost the phone and deliberately pressed the power button screen to take a photo of the lock screen photo and send it out.
There were a lot of people in the group, and when they saw the photo, they started to get rowdy. They kept on guessing who owns it and to hurry up and get it.
Xi Yu had two mobile phones, one was used for official business. When he saw the photo in the group, he replied with a cold face. "It's mine."
Then no one in the group spoke again.
After Xi Yu sent those words, he returned to the main screen of the phone, and there was a photo similar to the one just now, but Shen Zhi was sucking his finger in his mouth.
Shen Zhi didn't know.
Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu's daily life (2)
If two people have lived together for a long time, no matter how tolerant they are, there will always be some small friction. Shen Zhi and Xi Yu would also quarrel. The angry look of the two of them is simply ice and fire. Shen Zhi would ignore people when he was angry, and his eyes were so cold he could chill while Xi Yu would be so angry that his whole body would be on fire.
But no matter how serious the quarrel was at the time, the conflict between the two of them would never go past the night, because Shen Zhi had to sleep.
Most of the time, Xi Yu would be the one to lower his head first. Shen Zhi could hold his breath and not sleep, but Xi Yu couldn't. One second, he was high and mighty, and the next second when he saw it was time to go to bed, he immediately confessed his mistake, then hugged, kissed, and touched him, while coaxing gently. "I was wrong. I'm sorry, let's go to bed first, okay? Don't be angry. Baby, do you want my finger?"
Shen Zhi is easy to coax, just coax him well.
But occasionally, when Shen Zhi knows he's being unreasonable, Shen Zhi will take the initiative to admit his mistake first. If Xi Yu was sitting on the sofa, he would walk over and sit on the carpet under Xi Yu's feet. He would hug Xi Yu's legs, put his head on his thighs, then gently hold one of his hands and stretch out the tip of his tongue to lick on the back of his hand like a kitten, while licking, he would raise his eyes and look at Xi Yu innocently and pitifully. Xi Yu's anger would vanish just by looking at his appearance like this. And if Shen Zhi softened his voice and said pitifully, "Husband, I want to sleep." Even if Xi Yu is very angry, it will immediately cease.
Shen Zhi is easy to coax, but Xi Yu is actually much easier to coax.
Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu's daily life (3)
Xi Yu has always been brooding as to why Shen Zhi didn't write love letters to him when he was in high school. He would also smile confidently and ask, "You like me so much, why don't you write me a love letter?"
Then he used this as an excuse to toss Shen Zhi, again and again, all night.
Once when they went back to Shen's house to pack up Shen Zhi's old things, Xi Yu found a notebook out of nowhere. It couldn't be considered a diary. Some of Shen Zhi's scribbles and paintings when he was a teenager were all about Xi Yu in school uniform, as well as sentences or excerpts from poems with young sentimental thoughts. Most of them were written after Xi Yu went abroad.
Xi Yu watched with relish while Shen Zhi's face turned hot after seeing it. He immediately reached for his hand to grab it. Seeing that he was about to rob it, Xi Yu started to read it aloud while smiling wickedly. Shen Zhi's face was flushed in shame but finally compromised. After negotiating, as long as he doesn't read it out loud, he'll let him see it.
Xi Yu took this notebook home and put it on the nightstand.
In the evening, after Shen Zhi washed cleanly, he was pressed and kissed on the bed. Xi Yu sucked his lips and tongue impatiently before letting go for a long time. Both of them were panting rapidly, Xi Yu looked at the face of the person below him with deep eyes, leaned close to his ear and bit the soft and warm earlobe, then said in a hoarse but clear voice, "I saw you playing ball today. I'm wondering what your sweat smells like. I shouldn't think about these, but don't blame me, I just can't help it. I want you to hold me."
Those words were in that notebook. Shen Zhi thought that he was being crafty and wicked, but he couldn't get angry at all, so he could only take the initiative to reach for Xi Yu's lips to lick and kiss, and persuade him to stop talking.
Xi Yu enjoyed his soft kiss and happily stopped talking.
Entering his back hole, his movements are slow and gentle, which is in the most intimate and close position. His eyes are firm and deep, and his eyes were only occupied by the person in front of him, "My destiny is divided into two parts when I haven't met you, and after I meet you."[1]
[1] From the poem: Passerby (路人) by Xi Bei
Those words were also written by Shen Zhi.
"I just want to store up enough love, enough tenderness and slyness, just in case, when I wake up, I'd meet you."[2]
[2] From the poem: Hibernation (冬眠) by Xia Yu. Here's the full version of the poem (I had to put it since it's so beautiful. I'm sorry if the translation is not accurate, couldn't find an English translation for this poem):
I just want to store up enough love,
enough tenderness and slyness,
just in case,
when I wake up, I'd meet you
I just want to store up enough pride, enough loneliness, and indifference,
just in case,
when I wake up, you'd be gone.
His voice was infinitely gentle, and his eyes were covered with strong love. Simply repeating the words that Shen Zhi once wrote is more like revealing the sincere feelings in his heart to the person in front of him.
"Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come to me suddenly when I think of you."[3]
[3] The author altered the poem Clenched Soul by Pablo Neruda. Here's the real version:
Where were you then?
Who else was there?
Saying what?
Why will the whole of love come to me suddenly
when I am sad and feel you are far away?
Shen Zhi's tears flowed uncontrollably. He suddenly remembered those days when his thoughts were endless, and he wrote these words alone in the corner with confusion, uneasiness, and youthful love.
Xi Yu gently licked the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the movement of his lower body gradually accelerated, becoming heavier each time.
In the end, when the two of them reached the climax of their happiness, they hugged each other tightly and he once more leaned into Shen Zhi's ears. His voice was intimate and hoarse.
"I want that we squander each other. Together, idle away the short silence and the long meaninglessness. Together, fritter away the delicate ancient universe."[4]
[4] From the poem: Together with you, I want to idle away the time (我想和你虚度时光) Author: Li Yuansheng, Translator: Liu Jingyuan
Xi Yu suddenly began to write love letters, in delicate stationery, words written in an elegant ink pen.
Moreover, he is very thick-skinned. Every time Shen Zhi opens up the letter in front of him, Xi Yu has to listen to him read it out loud word by word. Of course, it's not just a matter of reading.
He would hold Shen Zhi in his arms from behind, sitting on the bed or sofa, just enough for his lips to rub against Shen Zhi's delicate neck, holding the tender meat on it, sucking and biting, as one of his hand lingered on the sensitive cherries on his chest and the other hand digging in his underwear to make a mess.
It may be because of his personality that Xi Yu couldn't write such delicate love words. Compared with love letters, it was more like a record of scattered words in his heart. He doesn't usually talk much, but he is very long-winded when he writes his love letters, which often makes Shen Zhi laugh, and occasionally his straightforward and passionate affection makes him blush.
And at times like this, Xi Yu was always reluctant to let him go easily. His teasing hands and lips always made Shen Zhi's voice tremble, and he read the words he wrote intermittently, with infinite charm hidden at the end of each sentence, and occasionally even a bit of sobbing. Xi Yu felt his reaction and his heart was tickled by the titillation, and he half coaxed and half threatened in his ear, "Good boy, finish reading it. You can come after you finished reading."
