Chapter 63: Sweet as a Honeymoon
After this short separation during Qingming, Li Ge’s love life was sweeter than a honeymoon.
He slept through the checkout time and, upon waking, had nothing to worry about in terms of food or drink. His wife, afraid he would be hungry, had already prepared a meal. Afraid he would be tired, she accompanied him to the shower, squeezed his toothpaste, and wrung out his towel. She was incredibly considerate, even dressing him, including his underwear and socks.
It wasn’t that he was incapable. Li Ge wasn’t tired after a full night’s sleep, but he immensely enjoyed Chen Shuo’s personal care.
Thinking of how the little assistant who had avoided him like the plague last year was now serving him, letting him kiss and hug him, he felt mentally satisfied, exceptionally so. Especially last night, Chen Shuo had even served him with his tongue, a pleasure that was no less than what Chen Erdi had given him. He was so satisfied that he almost went to heaven, and he almost went numb.
What was this called? The tables have turned!
Addicted to being served, Li Ge deliberately smeared some soup on his mouth after finishing his meal, then leaned back on the sofa and called out to Chen Shuo, “Wife, wipe my mouth.”
Chen Shuo was about to clear the mess on the coffee table when he heard the voice and looked up. He saw Li Ge’s oily mouth, which inexplicably looked a bit foolish.
He promptly took a tissue, went around the coffee table, and leaned in to carefully wipe Li Ge’s oily mouth clean, then said, “Go wash your face, we’re checking out soon.”
“You wash it for me, wring out a towel and bring it over.” Li Ge said deliberately again.
Chen Shuo didn’t say anything, first went to the bathroom and soaked the towel he had brought on the towel rack in warm water, wrung it out moderately, then went out to wipe Li Ge’s face clean, and also carefully wiped his mouth.
“My wife is so good, so considerate.” Li Ge sat up straight with a smile, patted his thigh, and motioned for Chen Shuo to sit down, “Come, let me hold you.”
“…” Chen Shuo didn’t respond, “Don’t waste time, don’t you have to go to your grandmother’s? I’ll tidy up the trash first, you go and put on your shoes.”
Li Ge looked down at the disposable slippers on his feet and decided to let Chen Shuo off the hook this time, he would put them on himself. He couldn’t really be like a paralytic, wouldn’t that be bullying his wife?
However, before he could stand up, he saw his good wife take the towel back to the bathroom, and then bring his shoes over, looking as if he was going to help him put them on.
“Fuck,” Li Ge quickly stood up, snatched the shoes and threw them on the floor, and then hugged Chen Shuo, “Wife, you finally have a heart, you know how to feel sorry for your husband.”
Chen Shuo: “…”
“And you prepared so many surprises for me, I’ve found a treasure, I fucking love you so much.” Li Ge turned his head and kissed Chen Shuo’s ear, “I love you to death.”
His ear was a bit itchy from the hot breath. Chen Shuo raised his arms and hugged Li Ge, saying helplessly, “Who told you you’re a little treasure, you eat with your mouth full of oil, can you even put on your shoes properly?”
“…” Li Ge’s face instantly turned sour, and he pushed his beloved wife away again, “Your mouth is getting more and more sarcastic, where did you learn that strange tone? Hurry up and tidy up, when we get back to Beicheng, I’ll buy you a washboard, and if you’re sarcastic again, you’ll be dealt with by my family’s law.”
Chen Shuo turned his back to Li Ge and lowered his head, a faint smile on his lips as he silently tidied up, making a mental note of another of his good qualities—cute.
No wonder some girls would post online praising their boyfriends for being cute, his little treasure was also very cute.
Li Ge had no luggage, and Chen Shuo only had a backpack. After everything was packed, Chen Shuo took out the band-aid from his pocket and went into the bathroom. Li Ge was so nervous that he thought his wife was injured and quickly followed him into the bathroom, only to see Chen Shuo covering the mark he had painstakingly planted last night.
It was one thing to cover the two on his Adam’s apple, but he even unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and covered the several on his collarbone. Wasn’t this just to anger him?
“I worked so hard to suck on them last night, and you’re just covering them all up?”
Sticking the band-aid on one of the hickeys on his collarbone, Chen Shuo saw Li Ge’s frowning face in the mirror, but Li Ge didn’t curse or stop him.
“I won’t cover the ones on my chest.” He coaxed.
“Nonsense, no one can see the ones on your chest anyway.” Li Ge immediately set the rules for his wife, “Don’t be eating from the bowl while looking at the pot. Take off the band-aids before you go to the gym. If you don’t listen, I’ll suck on your face!”
Chen Shuo: “…”
Due to the several hickeys on his neck and collarbone, Chen Shuo was too embarrassed to go out and buy things. The meal was ordered directly from the hotel, and the band-aids and ointment were delivered.
But he couldn’t blame Li Ge, it was the consequence of his own indulgence. Thinking that if he ran into Li Ge’s family, he would cover the hickeys on his collarbone just in case, it should be fine to appear as He Yan’s assistant.
“I’m not happy now.” Li Ge’s gaze swept over Chen Shuo’s open collar, taking the opportunity to tease his wife, “Unless you let me suck your milk, I won’t hold it against you.”
“…”
Chen Shuo now almost always complied with Li Ge’s requests, but he was a bit reluctant to satisfy this one. Just because last night, when Li Ge was buried in his chest, sucking endlessly, he suddenly looked up and said he had a milky scent, and then blurted out, “I used to suck on my mom like this when I was a kid, I refused to be weaned, and I was scolded and cried by my dad, it’s a good thing I have my wife.” He could even make up a milky scent, unbelievable.
So Chen Shuo cleverly refused, “It’s not good to take them off at the gym, it might attract attention, people might think I’m frivolous and try to hit on me.”
Li Ge: “…”
“I’ll take them off then.” Chen Shuo pretended to raise his arm, and seeing that Li Ge was indeed anxious, he even took the initiative to put them on for him, his sulking appearance really cute.
After the pleasure of last night, Li Ge now wanted to keep his treasure in a golden house, afraid that Chen Shuo would stray into other holes, and his tongue would also stray into other doors. He took the initiative to button Chen Shuo’s shirt, saying with an air of declaring his sovereignty, “Wife, remember, you are my treasure.”
Being stared at by Li Ge’s promiscuous and affectionate eyes, Chen Shuo’s heart suddenly lost its rhythm. Li Ge wasn’t smiling as usual, but was much more serious. For the first time, he saw a blatant possessiveness in Li Ge’s eyes, as well as something he couldn’t clearly identify, something unrelated to lust, perhaps it was “seriousness.”
He felt that he was being needed by Li Ge, at least at this moment, the signal Li Ge was sending him was very strong, he was strongly needed by Li Ge.
At this moment, Li Ge couldn’t leave him.
Like finding long-awaited sweet rain in the desert, Chen Shuo eagerly and tightly seized this opportunity, asking Li Ge, “And you, what should you remember?”
Li Ge was stumped, but quickly replied, “Nonsense, I’m your husband, you should remember that too.”
Chen Shuo: “Wrong.”
Li Ge: “…”
“You said, we’re a couple.” Chen Shuo looked into Li Ge’s eyes, paused for a moment, steadied his irregular heartbeat, and then said, “You remember, you’re under my control.”
“…” Li Ge was instantly unconvinced, “Fuck, you’re trying to ride on my head? You’ve got some nerve, not giving your husband any face, are you?”
“Do you remember?” Chen Shuo asked.
“Remember my ass.” Li Ge was used to being free and unrestrained, and he hated being controlled the most. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to Beicheng to make a living. No one could ride on his head and control him, not even his precious wife. He was the only one who could control others.
Chen Shuo didn’t want it to be his own illusion. It was only at this moment that he realized he couldn’t unconditionally tolerate Li Ge. There was a non-negotiable premise—to possess Li Ge exclusively.
He wanted to possess both Li Ge’s body and mind.
Although he was reluctant, he had to take a gamble.
“If you can’t remember, then we’re not a couple.” Chen Shuo said.
“…” Li Ge didn’t understand why Chen Shuo was suddenly being so difficult again and explained, “You just said ‘under your control,’ how do I know what you want to control? Promises can’t be made lightly, what if I can’t do it? For example, if I have a business dinner and you don’t let me go, and insist on controlling me, won’t that delay our cooperation? And smoking, my addiction isn’t that big, do you have to control me if I have a few occasionally? Don’t be unreasonable, be good.”
Promises couldn’t be made lightly to him, but they could be casually given to the little lovers he had kept. Chen Shuo was certain that it was an illusion just now. Li Ge’s so-called “like” and “love” for him were only superficial, just sweet nothings to coax him. He believed Li Ge’s liking for him at this moment, but he knew he couldn’t delve too deeply. Delving too deeply would be asking for trouble, and his heart would ache.
He was too hasty, not performing well enough, not having enough experience, and easily spoiling the mood. Besides working hard in bed, he didn’t know how to get Li Ge’s true heart in a short time.
“I know.” Chen Shuo said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to your grandmother’s first.”
Li Ge blocked the bathroom door and stopped Chen Shuo, asking, “What do you know?”
Chen Shuo: “I won’t be unreasonable.”
Li Ge: “Really? Why are you suddenly so obedient?”
“Yes.” Chen Shuo tried his best to show himself, “I was just kidding with you just now, to liven up the atmosphere.”
“Fuck, as expected of a quiet one, both quiet and fierce, that joke wasn’t funny at all.” Li Ge smiled and opened his arms, “You’ll be punished with a kiss.”
Chen Shuo cooperatively hugged Li Ge and gave him a kiss. But Li Ge wasn’t satisfied with a simple kiss, holding the back of Chen Shuo’s head and forcefully entering his mouth to find his tongue, the two of them having a long and passionate kiss.
When the black SUV stopped at the entrance of Mrs. Li’s house, Chen Shuo was invited by the housekeeper, Liu Fang, to come in for a cup of tea. He looked at Li Ge, who had gone ahead, and politely declined.
Liu Fang had heard of Chen Shuo’s identity and warmly invited, “Come in for a drink, child.”
Chen Shuo still politely declined, “Thank you, I’m not thirsty. Mr. Li is in a hurry to go back to Beicheng, and I’m also afraid of affecting my driving.”
“Alright then, thank you for driving.” Liu Fang didn’t insist and asked Chen Shuo to wait patiently, then left.
Actually, Chen Shuo had hesitated about whether to get out of the car. If he hadn’t had that argument with Li Ge, he would have liked to meet Li Ge’s family and see another side of him in front of his family.
Ten minutes later, Li Ge rushed out, quickly got into the car, and slammed the door, “Quick, drive, my grandmother is going to chase me out to see me off again, I can’t stand this scene, I might as well just call her and let her know.”
Chen Shuo started the car. As he drove out of the courtyard, he saw a kind-faced old lady in the rearview mirror, smiling and waving at the car.
“Sigh, this old lady is really…” Li Ge quickly lowered the window, stuck his head out, and shouted back, “Grandma! Don’t wave your thin arms! Go back inside!”
After the car drove far away and was on the highway, Chen Shuo finally asked Li Ge, “Are we going hiking tomorrow?”
Although it was Sunday tomorrow, Li Ge unfortunately had to go to the company. He had been resting for a few days and had a lot of things to deal with, so he said, “I have to go to the company tomorrow to deal with a project, can I accompany you next week? I’ll watch a movie with you then.”
“Okay,” Chen Shuo glanced at the bright sunlight outside the window and agreed again, “Okay.”
Li Ge: “Be good, tell me if you’re tired, I’ll drive.”
Chen Shuo: “I’m not tired.”
Returning to Beicheng and entering Chen Shuo’s small apartment, Li Ge found that the layout had changed. The fish tank had been moved to the balcony by Chen Shuo, and the storage cabinet that was originally next to the fish tank had also been removed, replaced by a new solid wood long table, serving as a countertop, with a coffee machine and its accessories on it.
He saw the coffee machine, which was worth nearly 100,000, and was truly shocked. He turned around, hugged Chen Shuo, and teased, “Where’s my stingy little wife?”
Chen Shuo didn’t respond and said, “I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”
“Oh, whose good wife is this?” Li Ge’s heart ached, and he kissed Chen Shuo, “You’ve spent so much money for your husband, you’re so endearing.”
“It’s okay, it’s deducted from the 120,000 you gave me.” As soon as Chen Shuo finished speaking, he realized that what he said seemed a bit of a mood killer and might make Li Ge unhappy.
“…” Li Ge pushed Chen Shuo against the wall, “Don’t care, it’s my wife who spent the money, she feels sorry for me.”
“Yes,” Chen Shuo nodded and said, “you’ll have coffee every morning from now on.”
Having a considerate and understanding wife at home, Li Ge’s love life became sweeter day by day. He was busy with his career during the day and could support himself when he was out, but as soon as he got home, he would become lazy like a paralytic, waiting for his wife’s personal care and feeding.
In the small and cozy apartment, there was a raging fire every night.
Life was as sweet as usual. Chen Shuo often had the illusion that he had completely possessed Li Ge, was gradually entering Li Ge’s life, and the clingy little treasure was also gradually becoming inseparable from him, needing and craving him so strongly every day.
He was waiting for the day they would go hiking together, never having thought that Li Ge would break his promise.
