The curtains in the bedroom were half-closed, and the sunlight only fell on a line at the end of the bed. The light passed through the black sheets and onto You Mian’s cold white ankles.
The moment Pei Huaiji finished speaking, uncontrollable fireworks of love and desire exploded in You Mian’s heart.
An ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the entire gray bedroom. The dim light made Pei Huaiji’s dark eyes appear even deeper and more restrained.
You Mian looked up at Pei Huaiji, his amber eyes slightly obscured by his long eyelashes. He looked up and suddenly lowered his eyes, causing Pei Huaiji’s heart to jump violently and his throat to become dry.
You Mian smiled and stretched out his legs to lightly kick Pei Huaiji’s calf. His legs were crossed under the quilt. You Mian could feel that Pei Huaiji’s thigh muscles were tense.
“You Mian,” Pei Huaiji’s hoarse voice came from above his head.
You Mian looked up at him with a smile in his eyes, but his foot gently touched Pei Huaiji again.
This slight touch was like lighting a fuse. It immediately burned all the restraint and patience in Pei Huaiji’s heart completely, leaving very little left.
The ambiguity reached its peak right away.
Pei Huaiji lifted the quilt and pressed You Mian under him.
The two of them had never been so close. They stared at each other, forehead to forehead.
Pei Huaiji’s sturdy arms were propped up on You Mian’s side. You Mian only needed to turn his head to see the powerful muscle contours bulging under the man’s black shirt.
The explosive sense of brutal oppression swept him away in an instant.
Pei Huaiji finally lowered his eyes slightly and kissed You Mian heavily.
The black sheets at his feet were kicked and ruffled. The light danced vividly between You Mian’s cold white ankles.
This time, the kiss was deeper than ever. It contained a deep love that didn’t need to be explained.
You Mian obediently raised his chin, letting the water stains slide down the side of his neck.
The phone screen glowed blue, and lay alone on the side of the bed.
He raised his hand and stroked the back of Pei Huaiji’s head soothingly. The man’s hair wasn’t soft. It was even a bit cold and hard.
You Mian’s gentle movements made Pei Huaiji’s heart surge more and more. The man no longer reduced his strength. It was as if he wanted to pry open You Mian’s mouth.
A groan so soft that it was impossible to catch came from You Mian’s throat. Pei Huaiji’s cold eyebrow was raised, and his Adam’s apple kept moving. His strong arms immediately stretched out to the back of You Mian’s neck on the pillow and lifted him up.
Pei Huaiji actually felt that they weren’t close enough.
The pajamas that Pei Huaiji put on You Mian last night were fitted but the round collar was wide. Therefore, it fell apart almost instantly as they were so close and entangled, revealing a large area of cold white skin.
The young man’s thin waist and chest were covered with a thin layer of muscles that were rising and falling violently.
Pei Huaiji was propped up above, his black hair slightly disheveled. His breathing was also out of rhythm, and his whole body was filled with lust. He seemed to be a wild beast that had broken out of the cave.
His eyes became increasingly dark and deep. His deep eyebrows and high nose bridge were so handsome in the dim light that it made people’s hearts palpitate.
Pei Huaiji looked at You Mian. Obviously, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. However, his eyes suddenly lowered and he thought that there was something missing in the bedside table.
Pei Huaiji frowned and tried his best to get up.
No matter how ruthless he was in the moment when the atmosphere was heated up to its peak, and he couldn’t wait any longer, Pei Huaiji didn’t want You Mian to get hurt.
Seeing that the hot body was about to leave, You Mian gently grabbed Pei Huaiji’s arm.
Pei Huaiji turned sideways and said softly, “You Mian.”
You Mian’s amber eyes were filled with an incomparably warm smile. He raised an arm to hook the back of Pei Huaiji’s neck and pulled the person down. Then he gently scraped the bridge of Pei Huaiji’s nose with his own nose.
The last shaky string of sanity completely collapsed under You Mian’s dependent movements.
Pei Huaiji gritted his teeth and walked to the bathroom to get a bottle of cleansing lotion.
The bottle opened with a click.
The somewhat cold touch made You Mian’s shoulders instinctively shrink. “Hiss…”
Pei Huaiji paid attention to You Mian’s expression. The moment he saw You Mian frowning, he leaned over and kissed the young man’s brow.
The sheets at the end of the bed became increasingly messy. The light jumped from the ankles to the calves, illuminating the taut white toes clearly, emitting a warm light.
The originally cold and white ankles were now covered with sweat and started to shiver slightly as the sunshine began to shine on them.
The intense intimacy and love were finally released. Sweat fell on the black sheets, on the carpet, and in front of the bathroom mirror…
The groggy consciousness made You Mian feel sleepy again.
His eyelids drooped heavily. The muscles in his arms, shoulders, and especially his thighs were so sore that he could hardly move them. They trembled slightly at the smallest touch.
Water with a perfect temperature flowed across his collarbone. Pei Huaiji’s big hands supported his lower back.
The empty lotion bottle fell on the bathroom floor. The smooth body of the bottle reflected the charming atmosphere.
You Mian’s throat was so dry that he couldn’t speak. The corners of his eyes were red from crying, and there were kiss marks on his wrists.
“Mianmian.”
Pei Huaiji called out to him in a deep voice.
You Mian no longer had the strength to respond. He let Pei Huaiji carry him out of the bedroom to the clean sheets.
The curtains were still half-drawn. The sunlight outside was beginning to turn a bluish-white and was about to become brighter.
Pei Huaiji carefully dried You Mian’s hair, closed his eyes, and kissed his lover reverently.
The curly hair swept across You Mian’s tightly closed eyes and eyebrows. His cold white skin was red. The corners of his eyes looked like he had cried hard. This made Pei Huaiji, who regained his senses, feel distressed.
Pei Huaiji turned sideways and pulled You Mian into his arms. The man’s broad and strong back had a healthy complexion, and his muscles were full of strength. At this moment, he looked like he was engorged with blood after extreme exercise and was glowing.
Even if You Mian was bullied badly. He still leaned on You Mian’s arm after falling asleep.
“I love you,” Pei Huaiji said in a hoarse voice. “Baby.”
The sunlight gradually brightened in the safe and cozy room.
The winter wind stopped and spring buds started to sprout. Countless people on the Internet were urging the Matching Heartbeat show to follow up with the subsequent spin-off programs under the official Weibo account.
Hong Sheng was so worried when he saw the 99 private messages on the backend that he could only ask the show’s staff to send more behind-the-scenes footage to appease the fans.
Pei Huaiji only gave permission to record the show, and You Mian also became famous after the finals of the Star Cup. It was said that he was not only holding an exhibition at the Huajiang Art Museum, but also many other exhibitions waiting for him to attend.
Hong Sheng knew it would be impossible in the short term for them to reunite on the show like fans were looking forward to. He could only try to compensate them by releasing more behind-the-scenes footage.
The hungry cotton workers cried out in the super talk.
[It has been more than two months since the show ended. I am out of food. Please help me, kind hearted people.]
[The poster has no more food left. So sad.]
[I watch every day and night, but the JL official Weibo didn’t post anything about Chairman Pei, not to mention Mianmian, who has completely disappeared.]
[What is the young couple doing?!]
[Kissing, hehehe.]
[Be bold. I am under the bed.]
[Hahaha, I want food!]
[Mianmian is about to graduate, right? When will the undergraduate graduation exhibition be held? I wonder if I can go to A College to see it.]
[With the popularity of the art exhibitions of A College, it should be public.]
[I have hope again!!]
[I didn’t expect that the real couple’s candy would be so hard to find. I order them to open their doors for business immediately!]
[Based on the personalities of the two people in the show and the nature of their current work, it is very likely that there will be no more sweet moments in the future. Just wait and see.]
[Cotton workers aren’t afraid of difficulties! We can overcome all difficulties!]
Just as everyone in the super talk was chatting and asking for candy as usual, a fan suddenly sent out a blog post.
[I ran into Mianmian at A College by chance! He is so handsome in person!}
In an instant, the fans in the super talk commented a lot under the blog post, all asking about You Mian’s recent situation.
The blogger didn’t post a photo but only said, “He looks very happy and his smile is so gentle.”
A few seconds later, the blogger actually posted a series of excited screams. “Ahhhh, he saw me staring at him and came over to say hello! Oh my god, I am so excited!”
[F*k, I’m crying with envy.]
[What is the passing scoreline of A College? I want to run into Mianmian on campus,woo woo woo.]
[Brother Mian will graduate in May. Sister, you will just miss him even if you get in.]
[Prprpr.]
You Mian, who just walked out of the office building with his bag, had no idea that there was a wave of discussion about him on the Internet.
He stood in front of the door and knocked lightly. Soon, he heard Qin Lan’s voice coming from inside.
“Please come in.”
The weather was getting warmer. The windows of Qin Lan’s office were open, and the white gauze curtains were swaying in the wind. The energetic Qin Lan raised an eyebrow with joy when he saw You Mian.
“Hello, Teacher.” You Mian approached and asked softly, “Were you looking for me?”
Qin Lan had almost recovered from his illness. At this moment, his eyes were bright, and he exuded a healthy spirit.
His crutches were placed next to the chair. You Mian saw Qin Lan raising his hand and pointing. Then with a mysterious smile, he took out a document with a red seal from the drawer.
“Look at this.” Qin Lan smiled and handed it to You Mian.
You Mian stepped forward doubtfully to take it. Then he became stunned the moment he lowered his head.
On the title page of the document, there was a line of large characters written on it: [Notice on the selection of outstanding students recommended by A College to directly pursue a doctorate.]
You Mian held his breath and looked through it.
There was the sound of pages turning and he saw his name filled in on the form.
There was Clios among the options for the doctoral college!
He remembered that he hadn’t applied to Clios. What was going on?
Without waiting for You Mian to ask, Qin Lan smiled from behind the desk and said, “It is a bit harder to be recommended to a foreign college than to study for a doctorate directly in China. The difficulty lies in the fact that you need three recommenders.”
As one of the world’s top colleges, Clios’ Academy of Fine Arts was second to none.
To be recommended to Clios, one obviously needed recommenders with a very high status and reputation in the art circle.
You Mian was stunned when he heard Qin Lan say, “Look at the names of the recommenders in the back.”
He immediately flipped it open.
He saw the names of Qin Lan, Lin Yuqing, and Jaeger Hillman on the list.
Qin Lan hissed and said, “I don’t know why Dean Hillman specially reminded me, but since he said so, I’ll also tell you that his letter of recommendation was signed before the finals of the Star Cup, Xiao Mian.”
You Mian looked up and understood what Hillman meant.
Hillman didn’t give the recommendation letter out of respect for him and his father. Instead, it was signed before the finals of the Star Cup.
The difference was crucial to You Mian. He showed a very bright smile.
Qin Lan finished saying everything he had to say. His tone became more serious as he said, “Can I ask, You Mian, do you accept this doctoral admission quota?”
The spring breeze blew outside the window.
Without hesitation, an answer rang out in the room. You Mian smiled and said, “I accept.”
The young man simply walked over to the table, picked up the black pen, and signed his name behind the form for Clios.
The words ‘You Mian’ were written neatly with sharp strokes and a vibrant vitality.
Everything was just as Pei Huaiji said. He was really going to step onto a higher and broader world stage than he was now.
You Mian trotted out of the office building and saw the sturdy man with broad and straight shoulders standing under a green tree with tender buds.
Pei Huaiji’s cold expression immediately disappeared when he saw You Mian. His eyes were soft as he opened his arms to this person.
In the spring breeze, You Mian crashed directly into Pei Huaiji’s arms.
