“Mian Mian.”
Xu Yujia’s voice burst in like holy light, illuminating Tao Zhi’s dark heart.
Tao Zhi froze, and Fu Zheng froze too.
Fu Si Heng, on the other hand, showed no reaction.
His nose bridge pressed against Tao Zhi’s cheek, fiddling with his fingers idly as he kissed him languidly.
“Xiao Zheng, what are you doing?”
Xu Yujia pushed open the room door.
Just as Fu Zheng stood in front of the closet, hand raised and about to open it, his own mother, Xu Yujia, interrupted him for the third time that day.
Xu Yujia looked at his actions with a puzzled expression.
Fu Zheng: “…”
Fu Zheng snapped back to his senses.
His movements paused, and he turned to meet his mom’s gaze.
“Looking for someone…” As soon as the words left his mouth, Fu Zheng felt they sounded pretty ridiculous.
Why would he look for someone in the closet? Why would Tao Zhi, who was perfectly fine, hide inside a closet?
Fu Zheng’s gaze turned awkward.
Xu Yujia clearly thought the same, but her expression wasn’t awkward—it was…
Like she was looking at an idiot.
“Looking for someone in the closet, huh.” Xu Yujia said.
“He suddenly disappeared.” Fu Zheng refused to accept his mom’s idiot-staring gaze and stuck his neck out in rebuttal: “That’s why I thought to check the closet.”
“He suddenly vanished.” Fu Zheng emphasized again.
“Alright, alright, no need to explain.” Xu Yujia waved her hand, not taking his words seriously: “Maybe he went out to look for your big brother with the others.”
“Impossible.” Fu Zheng said: “I was just outside. I didn’t see him leave at all.”
Xu Yujia: “Maybe you missed him. Otherwise, how could she vanish into thin air in the room? Come on, let’s go look outside together and find your brother while we’re at it.”
…
Tao Zhi held his breath listening to the conversation outside. Fu Si Heng pecked his cheek, his exhaled breath heavy and ambiguous: “Relax a bit. They’ll leave soon.”
How could he relax in this situation?
Tao Zhi’s eyelashes trembled, but he didn’t respond to Fu Si Heng.
Fu Si Heng kissed up along his cheek to the tip of his nose.
Outside were his mother and brother, and Tao Zhi was, nominally, the object of his brother’s secret crush.
At least in Xu Yujia’s eyes, “Ye Mian” was more likely to be her son’s future girlfriend, Fu Si Heng’s sister-in-law.
But now, Fu Si Heng was kissing his “sister-in-law” inside the closet.
From cheek to nose tip, then down to the side of the neck, biting the neck flesh and holding it in his mouth, gnawing at the shoulder.
The endless, dense kisses crashed over him like waves, and Tao Zhi’s breathing gradually grew heavier.
With the two people outside still talking, Tao Zhi feared even his breathing would give them away. He bit his lip hard, and finally, unable to take it, covered his own mouth.
“Good baby.” The arm around his waist tightened, and Fu Si Heng’s kiss landed on his collarbone.
Fu Zheng was just one door away.
…
“Xiao Zheng, you’re so dumb. No wonder your brother always scolds you.”
“I didn’t!” Fu Zheng got angry.
“Mom doesn’t believe you.” Xu Yujia said, her gaze dropping to his knees: “I bet you just knelt under the bed too, checking if Mian Mian was hiding there.”
Fu Zheng, who had been exactly right: “…”
His expression grew even more awkward.
“No.” Xu Yujia couldn’t understand: “Why would you think Mian Mian was hiding?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Fu Zheng was stubborn: “I didn’t look under the bed!”
“Really? Swear to it then.” Xu Yujia huffed.
“If you really knelt under the bed looking for her, you’ll never catch her for the rest of your life.”
“…”
Fu Zheng shut up.
He fell silent.
“So do you admit you missed her?” Xu Yujia said: “I told you, people don’t just vanish into thin air. She must have gone out.”
“And you went looking under the bed.”
“Instead of wasting time there, why not look outside?”
“And find your brother while you’re at it.”
“Fine, fine, I admit it, okay?” Fu Zheng was annoyed to death. He strode away from the closet, grumbling as he left: “I’ll go look now. Just stop talking. So annoying.”
“Hey, what’s with that attitude?” Xu Yujia was displeased and followed his footsteps out.
Fu Zheng slammed the door shut with a bang, extremely irritated: “Nothing.”
“Damn, once I find him, I’ll personally ask how he slipped out from under my nose without a trace.”
“Like he has superpowers or something.”
By the end, he was almost grinding his teeth.
He really hadn’t seen Tao Zhi leave. He swore he hadn’t been distracted.
“Why are you obsessing over these minor details?” Xu Yujia lectured him: “I just told you all that for nothing, huh.”
“Rein in that bad temper of yours. You really won’t catch any girls like this.” Xu Yujia followed behind Fu Zheng.
The click-clack of her high heels on the wooden floor grew fainter and fainter.
…
The two outside had left, and the room returned to quiet. But the two in the closet didn’t come out immediately.
Tao Zhi had been kissed and scared breathless. Fu Si Heng kindly reminded him: “Baby, you can breathe now.”
“Don’t… lick anymore.” The moans he’d held back for so long finally spilled from the corner of his lips.
Tao Zhi’s voice trembled.
Fu Si Heng had kissed that spot again.
Kissing and sucking until his whole body went numb—he’d endured it so hard.
Just now, he’d even taken the initiative to kiss Fu Si Heng.
