Chapter 40: Shame, Come Over and Kiss Me
Fortunately, none of the three elevators arrived. Li Ge stood in front of Chen Shuo, deliberately pressing his body close to him. He thought Chen Shuo would retreat and avoid him, but the other party remained composed, as if he didn’t see him at all.
This was interesting.
Looking at the funeral face he hadn’t seen in half a month up close, Li Ge said bluntly, “It’s my birthday today, you didn’t even say ‘happy birthday,’ and I, the birthday boy, personally sang for you. Would it kill you to give me some face?”
Chen Shuo: “…”
Chen Shuo was invited by Yuan Feng tonight. He was surprised to see Li Ge in the private room and only then realized it was Li Ge’s birthday, putting him in a difficult position.
The loss of control and indulgence from half a month ago had plunged Chen Shuo into a state of extreme self-loathing.
He had been suffering from insomnia every night. Helpless, he took leave from Yuan Feng and spent a week at home, binge-watching palace dramas, one after another, not daring to go out, relying on takeout to survive.
After the kiss marks Li Ge had left on his neck faded, he collected himself and went to teach Yuan Feng, but he was distracted several times in class, his mind in a mess, and he still hadn’t recovered today.
He didn’t know how long this torment would last.
Seeing that one of the elevators was about to arrive, Chen Shuo reluctantly wished Li Ge a happy birthday, “Happy birthday.” He added, “Don’t harass me anymore.”
“…” Facing an expressionless funeral face, how could Li Ge be happy? It was good that he wasn’t angry.
Moreover, Chen Shuo’s reaction didn’t go as he had imagined. And was it a matter of harassment or not now? He hadn’t even settled the bloody score from half a month ago, and there was something else he had to get back.
“Just a ‘happy birthday’ and that’s it?” Li Ge felt it had been a long time since he teased Chen Shuo, “Given our intimate relationship, isn’t it inappropriate for you not to prepare a gift?”
“Ding—” The elevator doors slowly slid open.
Seeing Chen Shuo about to leave, Li Ge lost his temper, grabbed Chen Shuo’s arm tightly, and with his back to the elevator, said as if no one was around, “My ass still hurts today, you’re done after you’re done? Are you even human?”
Chen Shuo: “…”
There were seven or eight people in the elevator. Everyone looked at each other, silent for a moment. After two seconds, one of the men broke the silence and asked, “Well, are you two getting off or not?”
“No!” Li Ge didn’t even turn his head. Anyway, the one who was embarrassed was Chen Shuo, not him. He took the opportunity to squeeze Chen Shuo’s wrist tightly, dragging him towards the private room, and warned, “Do you really think I’ll indulge you?”
Chen Shuo occasionally felt that he was an outsider in this world. Like an NPC in a game, transparent, ordinary, and unnoticed. He lived peacefully in his own small world and had never cared about the outside world.
But today, for the first time, he felt ashamed in front of others.
It was as if all his unspeakable thoughts and the pain that entangled him were all exposed by Li Ge, forcing him to have nowhere to hide, revealing his true self.
He wasn’t an NPC, just an unbearably vulgar man.
He still cared about the scumbag, he would dream about the scumbag. Even without the influence of drugs, his body would still react easily, that place would still hurt, and his desire would become stronger. He wanted to continue with Li Ge, wanted to hear Li Ge’s changed moans, wanted to be forcefully kissed by Li Ge, and even more, wanted to dominate Li Ge.
Every thought was so terrifying.
“Let go.” Chen Shuo also warned Li Ge, “Don’t force me to do it here.”
Having invested too much in Chen Shuo, Li Ge now couldn’t tell whether he was competing with Chen Shuo or with himself. In short, he was determined to win.
He let go of Chen Shuo and deliberately provoked him, “Putting on airs with me again, are you? You were so excited that night you came prematurely, what are you pretending for—”
Before he could finish, Li Ge’s left cheek was hit hard by a punch. The pain instantly made him grimace, and he quickly tasted a hint of blood in his mouth, then his collar was grabbed by Chen Shuo.
He looked directly into Chen Shuo’s cold eyes and managed a smile, “So you’re angry now? So cowardly.”
Seeing the blood in Li Ge’s mouth, Chen Shuo immediately thought of his even more terrifying self. He had guessed that Li Ge would appear tonight, and it was his own fault for getting himself into this difficult situation.
Chen Shuo’s fist loosened, and he let go of Li Ge.
At this moment, Li Ge suddenly realized why he always couldn’t control himself from provoking Chen Shuo. It wasn’t because Chen Shuo always surprised him, but because Chen Shuo had an unknown ruthlessness hidden in his bones, and he wanted to tame this man.
How to tame him was a problem. Fortunately, Li Ge had a quick mind and suddenly had an idea.
He rubbed his aching cheek and said to Chen Shuo, “I had a fever after you left that day, you know that?”
“…” Chen Shuo didn’t want to know.
Li Ge had had fevers before, a small illness was nothing. But this time, the fever was inexplicable, as if he had visited the King of Hell again. He hadn’t recovered for two days at home and had to drag his tired body to the hospital for a blood test.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious, just an inflammation caused by not cleaning up properly. But after being kindly scolded by the doctor, Li Ge’s already precarious pride completely shattered. His reputation was ruined, and he wanted to kill Chen Shuo with a knife, to chop off his damn manhood.
Hate was one thing, recovering at home was more important.
After resting for more than ten days, just as Li Ge was about to settle the score with Chen Shuo, he dreamed of his mighty manhood. His manhood was cowardly and shrinking, afraid of being chopped off, but as soon as it touched him, it became erect again, as shameless as that Chen guy, tormenting him relentlessly.
Perhaps the pain had faded, and he had forgotten. After this wet dream, Li Ge’s heart itched unbearably again, and he started thinking about Chen Shuo again. Actually, the two words he had replied to Dong Mo were his true feelings. It was indeed satisfying, quite enjoyable, a feeling he had never experienced before.
But the price of this satisfaction was too high. He had to win back a round and regain his pride. If he didn’t fuck Chen Shuo hard, he would be letting down his wronged and bleeding backdoor.
Seeing Chen Shuo playing deaf, Li Ge also brought out his soft and hard tactics and said, “My heart was almost scared out of my chest by you.”
Chen Shuo: “…”
Seeing Chen Shuo’s slightly lowered eyes, not saying a word, like a child who had made a mistake, it meant he had some conscience, knowing that his behavior was high-risk. Li Ge decided to play the long game and catch the big fish, so he leaned closer to Chen Shuo and coaxed in a low voice, “Remember to wear it next time, do you hear me?”
“…” Chen Shuo raised his eyes, unable to see through Li Ge’s intentions for a moment.
Groups of men and women came out from another corridor. Li Ge took the opportunity to put his arm around Chen Shuo and took the initiative to soften his tone, “Alright, what can’t we talk about between us? It’s my birthday today, give me some face.”
Chen Shuo was about to shake off Li Ge when the private room door suddenly opened. Yuan Feng poked his head out, his eyes fixed on him and Li Ge. He quickly pushed Li Ge away and calmly walked over.
So it was a quarreling couple. Yuan Feng was relieved and said cheerfully, “I thought you two fell into the toilet, come in and sing, I’m going home soon, Chen Shuo, you sing a song too.”
Yuan Feng rarely went out to have fun now, and Chen Shuo didn’t want to spoil his mood, so he politely declined, “I’m not very good at singing.”
“It’s okay, I’m not good either, we’ll just sing for fun.” When Li Ge came over, Yuan Feng noticed that his left cheek was a bit red and blurted out in surprise, “Li Ge, what happened to your face?”
Li Ge: “Oh, I fell in the bathroom just now and hit the sink.”
Yuan Feng: “…”
Chen Shuo had just sat down in the corner when Yuan Feng pulled him to sing together. Unable to refuse his hospitality, he had to agree. But after taking the microphone, his mind went blank, he couldn’t think of what to sing.
“Sing this!” Yuan Feng chose a song and sat next to Chen Shuo with the microphone, “I really liked this song when I was a kid.”
Chen Shuo looked at the big screen, “Sunshine Always Comes After the Rain,” a classic old song that Chen Meifang liked to listen to and sing. When he was helping Chen Meifang with her work as a child, she often hummed this tune.
Yuan Feng: “Chen Shuo, you should know how to sing this old song, right? It’s a household name.”
Chen Shuo: “A little.”
Yuan Feng: “Great, then let’s sing together!”
On the other side of the sofa, Li Ge was eating the watermelon from the fruit platter, only taking a bite from the top of each slice, eating very wastefully, his mind completely on Chen Shuo.
Sure enough, the dog surprised him again. He was off-key and couldn’t keep up with the lyrics, he had no musical talent at all. He was staring at the screen so intently, looking so foolish, so amusing.
Chen Shuo’s soft lips opened and closed. The more Li Ge looked, the more his heart itched, and then his whole body tingled. He couldn’t help but think of the fierce way Chen Shuo had kissed him back that night, his tongue running wild in his mouth, from clumsy to skilled, slowly swallowing his breath. That fire poker was also exceptionally hot, clinging to him and never completely leaving, even after he came. At that time, Chen Shuo’s head was resting on his shoulder, his gasps low and muffled, as if he was acting coquettishly, so fucking sexy, it turned him on again, but he was too tired and sleepy from the torment, he really didn’t have the energy to fuck back.
But tonight, Li Ge had plenty of energy.
He leaned closer to He Yan and whispered, “Brother, it’s already eight o’clock, you should take your brother-in-law back, he’s still pregnant, thank you for today.”
His cousin’s gaze was too intense. He Yan whispered back, “Yuan Feng wanted to sing, I brought him out to relax, you should take it easy.”
Li Ge nodded and promised, “Of course, when have you ever seen me so serious?”
It was precisely because of his cousin’s persistence that He Yan mistakenly thought Li Ge was really serious. Like him, he had never thought that one day he would settle down and spend the rest of his life with Yuan Feng.
Tonight’s dinner, Li Ge had begged his cousin for three days, his mouth almost worn out before he successfully persuaded He Yan. It was all to strike while the iron was hot and win Chen Shuo over as soon as possible. He had even prepared the tools, all in his car.
As soon as He Yan left with Yuan Feng, Li Ge immediately blocked the door and asked Chen Shuo, “What gift are you going to give me? Let me go if you satisfy me.”
The blue ambient light illuminated the entire private room, like a quiet lake slowly flowing. The light shone on Li Ge, so dazzling. Chen Shuo silently met Li Ge’s gaze.
Perhaps he was scared.
Having worked alongside He Yan for many years, he had the thought of resigning for the first time.
“I know you’re stingy, I won’t make you spend money.” Li Ge leaned against the door, his hands in his pockets, staring at Chen Shuo with a smile, “Come over and kiss me.”
Chen Shuo automatically ignored Li Ge’s teasing and said, “Move.”
“Who are you telling to move?” Li Ge’s smile faded, “Do you have the face to say that? I had a fever for two days, a low-grade fever for three days, I was scolded by the doctor at the hospital, and I rested at home for half a month before I fully recovered. I just had a taste of meat today, do you know how much I’ve suffered?”
“…” Chen Shuo was silent.
Li Ge continued to complain, “What do you take me for? People who go to prostitutes know to pay, are you addicted to getting it for free? From night to dawn, you’ve been on top of me, fucking me again and again, no need to pay, no need to be responsible?”
Chen Shuo: “…”
Li Ge took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit one, and said while smoking, “Let me tell you, I’m not that casual. Once you’ve entered my backdoor, you have to be responsible for me.”
Chen Shuo: “…”
Li Ge: “The master leads you through the door, and you’re not grateful, you’re ungrateful, it’s really heartbreaking.”
Chen Shuo: “…”
The playboy had a knack for twisting things around, he could probably go on until the end of the world. After a long while, when Li Ge was about to finish his cigarette, Chen Shuo spoke.
He asked Li Ge, “A kiss, and you’ll be satisfied?”
Li Ge didn’t speak, only instructing Chen Shuo, “Bring me the ashtray.”
Chen Shuo complied and brought it to Li Ge. Li Ge didn’t take it, just let Chen Shuo hold the ashtray in his palm, stubbed out the cigarette, and then looked up at Chen Shuo, his hand shamelessly reaching for Chen Shuo’s.
“You’re already hiding from me after just having a taste, aren’t you uncomfortable?”
