Chapter 47
Jiang Chaochao quickly recovered in Xiang Ye’s arms.
Mainly because he was a clean freak. The first thing he did after pushing Xiang Ye away was stand up and check them both.
Xiang Ye’s clothes and his pants were a lost cause, but they could still be saved. As for the sofa…
Jiang Chaochao was a bit embarrassed, but the most pressing matter was still, “What do we do?”
There weren’t many stains on the sofa, but there were a few noticeable drops.
Jiang Chaochao didn’t have any experience dealing with this, and Xiang Ye’s reply was, “I don’t know.”
Jiang Chaochao pursed his lips and turned to look for his phone: “I’ll look it up.”
His phone was on the coffee table, closer to Xiang Ye, so Jiang Chaochao gestured to Xiang Ye, asking him to hand it over.
But Xiang Ye didn’t immediately get it for him. He looked up at Jiang Chaochao and said softly, “You’re so heartless.”
Jiang Chaochao: “Huh?”
Xiang Ye also stood up, acting nonchalant as if it wasn’t his sofa.
He didn’t give Jiang Chaochao his phone, instead he said, “You go wash up first, I’ll take care of this.”
Jiang Chaochao: “Can you manage?”
Xiang Ye chuckled, “What are you doubting me about?”
This sentence was obviously about the sofa, but because of what just happened, Jiang Chaochao easily misinterpreted it.
“Fine then.”
Jiang Chaochao’s thoughts returned, and he decided this shouldn’t be an uncommon issue, there should be helpful tips online: “Then I’ll go wash up first.”
Xiang Ye gave an “mm-hmm,” then surprisingly said again, “You’re so heartless.”
Jiang Chaochao finally laughed, “What did I do?”
Xiang Ye: “Kiss me.”
Jiang Chaochao naturally went over and kissed Xiang Ye, “Is that okay now, gege?”
Xiang Ye patted Jiang Chaochao’s head: “Go ahead.”
Jiang Chaochao practically ran away. Although he spoke and expressed himself calmly, his eyes didn’t dare look at Xiang Ye.
It was really not easy for him to maintain his shyness for so long.
So he quickly closed the bathroom door behind him.
The lingering feeling of being in Xiang Ye’s arms was good, and this alone time was also good.
Since he had already showered, Jiang Chaochao only needed to rinse himself off and change his clothes, but he stood under the showerhead for a long, long time.
Firstly, because a certain area was still sensitive, still a bit stimulated.
Secondly, he couldn’t help but replay certain images in his mind.
Then, perhaps because he was a bit too excited, he accidentally scratched his hair, so his hair got some shower gel on it, and he ended up washing his hair again.
Finally, he realized he hadn’t brought in any clean pajamas.
He hesitated for a long time, should he go out wrapped in a towel to get them, or should he ask Xiang Ye to bring them in?
In the end, he wrapped himself in a towel, walked to the door, and knocked.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Ye was already in the bedroom.
“What’s wrong?” Xiang Ye asked.
Jiang Chaochao: “Forgot my clothes.”
Footsteps came from outside the door, from one side to the other, then from the other side to the bathroom door.
Two knocks on the door. Jiang Chaochao opened the door a crack, reached out, grabbed his pajamas, and quickly retreated.
After changing and coming out, Xiang Ye naturally entered the bathroom, as if it was his turn in line.
After the sound of the shower started, Jiang Chaochao went to the living room to check the sofa.
Leaving it to gege was indeed the right choice, it was already clean, the TV was off, the lights were off.
It was a sign of impending sleep. It was getting late, so Jiang Chaochao went back to bed.
A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Jiang Chaochao’s gaze was drawn to it, and he exclaimed, “Holy shit!”
It seemed like someone had also forgotten to bring in clean pajamas, but unlike Jiang Chaochao, he just came out with a towel wrapped around his lower body.
Jiang Chaochao almost had a nosebleed.
He thought, as his boyfriend, what was wrong with looking?!
But he also felt it would be too creepy to stare so directly.
So Jiang Chaochao then demonstrated extreme sneakiness.
He was playing with his phone, but now, he didn’t know what he was even looking at, his mind filled with…
Holy shit, that body, those muscles, those long legs, I’m eating this up, eating this up.
Just as Jiang Chaochao was sneakily looking, Xiang Ye walked to the wardrobe.
He first put on a shirt, then casually unwrapped the towel.
Jiang Chaochao quickly pulled the blanket over his head, but he immediately regretted it.
Unfortunately, when he lifted the blanket again, Xiang Ye had already put on his pants.
Jiang Chaochao was filled with regret!
There was no one else around, what was he being shy for?!
The bedroom was filled with the scent of sleep. Just like last time, Xiang Ye got into bed under the dim light of the bedside lamp.
But unlike last time, the first thing this guy did after lifting the blanket was pull Jiang Chaochao over.
Pulled him into a hug, turned off the light, all in one go.
Jiang Chaochao’s cheek brushed against Xiang Ye’s clothes, and what was he thinking at this moment?
Xiang Ye, why are you even wearing a shirt?
“I’ll set an alarm for six. We’ll have something to eat at home before going to the airport, is that okay?” Xiang Ye asked.
Jiang Chaochao felt inexplicably soft and pliant, “Okay.”
Jiang Chaochao tentatively placed his hand on Xiang Ye’s waist.
Even through the fabric, he could still feel something.
Hee hee hee hee, felt so good, so firm.
Xiang Ye: “Sandwiches okay?”
Jiang Chaochao: “Okay.”
Jiang Chaochao moved again, closer, and amidst the movement, he touched Xiang Ye’s stomach.
Wow, wow, felt even better.
Xiang Ye: “Milk or soy milk?”
Jiang Chaochao’s mind wasn’t on milk or soy milk at all, he casually said, “Milk.”
“Touched enough?” Xiang Ye suddenly asked.
Jiang Chaochao’s hand, which was about to move upwards, stopped abruptly.
“Haha.”
And he immediately withdrew his hand.
But he couldn’t withdraw it, Xiang Ye grabbed his wrist.
This person was always more straightforward than Jiang Chaochao. With a very clear motive, he raised Jiang Chaochao’s hand and placed it on his chest.
Jiang Chaochao gasped and tried to control his laughter.
“Wow,” Jiang Chaochao managed to give a restrained compliment, “Very well-toned.”
Xiang Ye chuckled, “Thank you.”
Perhaps to hide something, Jiang Chaochao became bolder, reaching out and squeezing Xiang Ye’s bicep.
“Mm-hmm,” Jiang Chaochao continued calmly, “Very good.”
Xiang Ye: “Jiang Chaochao.”
Full name, and Jiang Chaochao instantly cowered.
“What?” Jiang Chaochao didn’t dare look at Xiang Ye.
Xiang Ye: “I told you.”
Jiang Chaochao didn’t understand, “Told me what?”
Xiang Ye: “You’re delicious.”
Jiang Chaochao: “Ah!”
What was that!
Caught off guard, Jiang Chaochao didn’t know what to do. Covering his mouth wasn’t right, covering Xiang Ye’s mouth wasn’t right, covering his ears wasn’t right, covering his eyes was even more wrong.
Then he’d cover Xiang Ye’s eyes.
“You!” Jiang Chaochao squeezed out this word through gritted teeth.
Xiang Ye laughed happily, “What about me?”
Jiang Chaochao: “You’re not allowed to say that.”
Xiang Ye: “What did I say?”
Jiang Chaochao: “You can’t say that either.”
“Okay, I understand,” Xiang Ye, even with his eyes covered, managed to accurately kiss Jiang Chaochao. “Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow.”
Only then did Jiang Chaochao remove his hand.
Xiang Ye seemed tired; he had indeed been working late these past few days.
“Okay,” Jiang Chaochao also entered sleep mode, “Go to sleep.”
Xiang Ye: “Good night, baby.”
Jiang Chaochao: “Good night, gege.”
Good night.
Not good at all.
Jiang Chaochao, as soon as he closed his eyes, could picture the scene.
His hand was naturally resting on Xiang Ye’s stomach.
What was closest to his stomach?
Jiang Chaochao, embarrassed, wanted to say that he was feeling very tempted.
He also wanted to touch.
He couldn’t just let Xiang Ye do all the touching!
Gege, gege~
Jiang Chaochao roared silently, then gently blew on Xiang Ye’s chin.
No reaction, he must be asleep.
Since he was asleep…
If he touched him, Xiang Ye probably wouldn’t know, right?
Jiang Chaochao pursed his lips and raised his hand.
Then put it down again.
He couldn’t do it.
How did Xiang Ye do it? Not just this, but ever since they met, every step Xiang Ye took towards him felt incredibly natural.
Jiang Chaochao took a deep breath and placed his hand on Xiang Ye’s waist.
Then on his hips.
“…”
Forget it.
Although Jiang Chaochao liked being held by Xiang Ye, he wasn’t used to sleeping like this, he felt awkward not knowing where to put his limbs.
And he couldn’t touch anything anyway, what was the point of hugging!
Jiang Chaochao’s sleepiness arrived. He moved out of Xiang Ye’s arms, returned to his own pillow, turned over, and fell asleep.
He slept through the night, woken by the alarm.
Jiang Chaochao opened his eyes in a daze. The alarm had stopped. Xiang Ye caressed his face and said, “Sleep a bit more, I’ll wake you up later.”
Jiang Chaochao gave an “mm-hmm” and closed his eyes again.
This “later” let Jiang Chaochao sleep for another twenty minutes. After waking up, he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then he could eat sandwiches.
They looked quite good, so Jiang Chaochao naturally asked, “Do you often make these?”
Xiang Ye nodded, “They’re quick to make.”
Jiang Chaochao activated compliment mode, “So talented, they’re delicious.” He continued, “The danbing last time was also delicious. Are you good at cooking?”
Xiang Ye chuckled, “Well…”
Jiang Chaochao: “What’s wrong?”
Xiang Ye: “I only know how to make three things, and I’ve already shown you two.”
Jiang Chaochao gave an “ah” and was also curious, “What’s the other one?”
Xiang Ye: “Porridge.”
Jiang Chaochao: “…Oh.”
His expression seemed to be saying, Porridge, counts?
But…
“Still very talented,” Jiang Chaochao naturally defended Xiang Ye, “You just don’t have time to do these things. You can make danbing and sandwiches so well, nothing can stump you, a piece of cake.”
After saying that, he even raised an eyebrow at Xiang Ye.
Xiang Ye was completely amused by Jiang Chaochao and pinched his cheek, “You’re so cute.”
Jiang Chaochao was immune to compliments now, “Completely smitten, right?”
Xiang Ye: “Completely smitten.”
After breakfast and tidying up, they went to the airport.
The A City airport was notoriously large, and coincidentally, their gate was very far away. The walk made Jiang Chaochao fall asleep as soon as he boarded the plane.
However, the in-flight meal was pretty good. After waking up, Jiang Chaochao ate a little, watched some TV, and then they landed.
Not long after, they arrived at the hotel.
Someone seemingly hadn’t planned anything, but the arrangements were very efficient. They hadn’t wasted any time along the way.
The hotel was also very nice, located near Erhai Lake. Opening the curtains revealed a stunning view.
“Are you sleepy?” Jiang Chaochao asked Xiang Ye.
This Mr. Xiang, while Jiang Chaochao was sleeping on the plane, he was working. While Jiang Chaochao was eating, he was working. While Jiang Chaochao was watching TV, he was working.
Xiang Ye shook his head: “Not really,” he asked Jiang Chaochao, “Nap, mushroom soup, or a tour around Erhai Lake? Choose one.”
Jiang Chaochao only ate a little earlier, saving space in his stomach, “Mushroom soup.”
Xiang Ye looked at Jiang Chaochao’s hands: “Check your phone.”
Jiang Chaochao picked up his phone and saw that Xiang Ye had sent him three links.
“A few of my colleagues have been to Yunnan. Based on their recommendations and online reviews, I chose these three restaurants, pick one,” Xiang Ye said.
Since these three were already the top choices, it meant Jiang Chaochao didn’t have to read the reviews, so he chose one that caught his eye.
“The second one,” Jiang Chaochao said, “The cover picture looks pretty good.”
Xiang Ye smiled: “Okay.”
Then he continued: “Sit on the bed, sit next to me, or sit on my lap? Choose one.”
Jiang Chaochao, who was sitting on the bed, who had just finished a serious discussion, didn’t react for a moment, then burst out laughing.
“You really are,” Jiang Chaochao finally said what he had been wanting to say these past few days, “Quite sudden.”
Xiang Ye readily admitted, “I am.”
Then, in that case…
Jiang Chaochao stood up, walked to the side of the bed, and sat down next to Xiang Ye.
Xiang Ye leaned against the head of the bed, arms crossed, tilting his head and looking at Jiang Chaochao.
Jiang Chaochao looked back.
He even said: “Don’t tell me someone’s expecting me to sit on his lap.”
It turned out that Xiang Ye really shouldn’t be provoked.
As soon as Jiang Chaochao finished speaking, he was pulled up. How strong was Xiang Ye? He couldn’t resist at all, so soon, Jiang Chaochao was forced to sit on Xiang Ye’s lap.
Facing him, no less.
“Someone’s cheating,” Jiang Chaochao complained.
Xiang Ye: “Yes, so what?”
Jiang Chaochao naturally hadn’t planned on doing anything, but since Xiang Ye asked…
Jiang Chaochao lowered his head and bit Xiang Ye’s chin.
A muffled groan came from Xiang Ye.
It sounded a bit too pleasant, and Jiang Chaochao, distracted, loosened his bite.
Xiang Ye touched his chin, “Someone’s a puppy.”
Jiang Chaochao: “Yes, so what?”
Xiang Ye also leaned in, but Jiang Chaochao was too quick-witted, he dodged.
“Didn’t get me,” Jiang Chaochao was incredibly smug.
It turned out that Xiang Ye really shouldn’t be provoked.
Jiang Chaochao’s hands were grabbed and pinned behind his back, then his neck was bitten.
Jiang Chaochao cried out, even louder than Xiang Ye.
It was too late to suppress the sound, and Xiang Ye started laughing at him.
But despite his laughter, Xiang Ye, after biting him, nuzzled the spot apologetically, then let go of Jiang Chaochao’s hands.
“You!”
Jiang Chaochao wanted to argue with Xiang Ye about this.
But his unruly eyes, for some reason, suddenly glanced downwards.
It was an obvious glance, naturally noticed by Xiang Ye.
Silence suddenly filled the air.
Jiang Chaochao gulped.
He had to blame it on someone’s sudden change, he was just captivated.
“What about me?” Xiang Ye finished his sentence.
Jiang Chaochao: “You…”
Jiang Chaochao: “…”
Strangely, his unruly eyes glanced down again.
Xiang Ye smiled: “Look good?”
Jiang Chaochao was so embarrassed he became defiant, “They look good, they look amazing,” he even said boldly, “It would be even better if I could touch them.”
Xiang Ye: “Come on then.”
Jiang Chaochao’s hand moved half a centimeter, then retreated.
So what! He didn’t dare!
Xiang Ye: “Hmm? What’s wrong?”
This person was still provoking him.
Jiang Chaochao took a moment to compose himself.
But before he was mentally prepared, his wrist was grabbed by Xiang Ye.
A second later, Jiang Chaochao cried out.
“Ah!”
