“……”
Xu Fengqing was speechless for a moment.
In his decades of life, he had never experienced such a predicament before.
“I didn’t mean to…”
He forcefully pulled his wrists, which were bound by the water chains, and covered his face with his palms. A faint blush had already appeared on his wheat-colored skin.
He really didn’t mean it, but no one could remain unmoved when kissed and hugged by the person they liked for years!
Xu Fengqing covered his face so he didn’t see the momentary dimming in Xenos’ eyes as Xu Fengqing whispered that he didn’t mean it.
“It’s okay, Fengqing.”
Xenos whispered in his ear.
Xu Fengqing slightly opened his eyes. He felt that long, slender hand start to move downwards before finally…
“Um…”
He gave a low hum, the blush on his face taking on a different meaning. He tried his best to suppress it and said in a low voice, “Ah Xe… stop.”
Xenos froze for a moment. Then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes and he didn’t give into Fengqing’s wishes.
Even if Xu Fengqing didn’t like his touch, this man had to get used to it.
From this day forward, Fengqing must stay by his side and never leave him.
Xenos pressed his lips to the man’s temple again, his voice low and husky. “You will like it.”
“……”
Xu Fengqing really liked it, he liked it to death. However, the feeling of losing control and being unable to do as he pleased made him feel deeply uneasy.
It was as if he had lost his footing and everything was out of control, leaving him feeling helpless and lost.
He desperately wanted to grab something to support himself, but his hands and feet were bound and all his strength was gone. He could only let Xenos do as he pleased.
Xu Fengqing tried to sort everything out and attempted to regain the initiative and control the pace through negotiation.
However, Xenos didn’t give him that chance.
He continuously gave a sensory experience that overwhelmed Xu Fengqing, making him lose control of his emotions and assaulting his precious rationality wave after wave.
Perhaps it was because he hadn’t opened himself up to someone like this in a long time or because the one treating him this way was Xenos.
The Xenos in front of him felt unfamiliar to Xu Fengqing but Xu Fengqing’s heart still pounded for him.
Despite his constant resistance, Xu Fengqing eventually calmed down.
Closing his eyes, suppressing his emotions and controlling himself to not make any strange noises was probably the bottom line and dignity he could uphold.
Xu Fengqing had no idea how charming he was in Xenos’ eyes at that moment.
The beads of sweat slowly sliding down his forehead, the flush on his face from gritting his teeth in suppressed pain, the slightly bulging veins on his neck and the violently heaving chest under his black undergarment…
He exuded an aura of asceticism yet was incredibly sexy.
Xu Fengqing’s mind was blank for a moment when he heard Xenos’ voice.
It was soft and gentle like a whisper in his ear. He couldn’t quite make out what Xenos was saying, but it tickled his heart like a feather, stirring his soul.
Xu Fengqing opened his eyes, his chest still heaving and his breathing unsteady.
He turned his head. Through his hazy vision, he saw Xenos sitting by the bed, a blue light illuminating him. He poured water into a metal basin and slowly started to wash his hands.
Looking at the fair and jade-like hands, Xu Fengqing thought of everything that had just happened and couldn’t help close his eyes, his ears burning again.
Xenos wrung out the cloth and gently wiped him.
He had never served anyone like this before. His strength was so light and gentle that it was a different type of torture for Xu Fengqing.
He tried to hold Xenos down, but his bound limbs were immobile and he could only give up the struggle in frustration.
“Ah Xe, that’s enough.”
Finally, he could no longer contain himself and said it.
Xenos sensed the restraint in the other person’s tone and his hand stiffened slightly. Then he withdrew it as if nothing had happened.
He put the handkerchief back in the basin, draped a blanket over Xu Fengqing and got out of bed.
After he took off his casual clothes and put on a bathrobe, he turned around and saw Xu Fengqing with his eyes closed, face turned away in a resistant manner.
Xenos pressed his lips together but said nothing.
He turned off the light and quietly lay down next to Xu Fengqing. He wrapped his arms around Xu Fengqing’s body and pressed his face against the space between his shoulder and collarbone.
Just as Xenos closed his eyes, he heard Xu Fengqing’s hoarse voice. “Xenos, let’s talk?”
“I’m tired. Let’s go to sleep.”
Xenos held Xu Fengqing in his arms, gently inhaling his pleasant scent. In the quiet darkness, it felt as if they returned to the days when they were fleeing in the jungle.
At that time, Xu Fengqing held him and they spent the whole night in a tree hollow.
Despite the extremely poor living conditions at that time, it became his salvation in his dreams, a place that often appeared during the nights when he was besieged with nightmares.
He would never forget the day he woke up in Xu Fengqing’s arms and saw the first ray of sunlight piercing through the tree hollow. Xenos closed his eyes, feeling at ease.
It was the first night and he didn’t want to push too hard. He was willing to take things slowly with Xu Fengqing.
However, Xu Fengqing frowned deeply.
How could he possibly sleep under these circumstances? No matter whether it was being stunned by Xenos or everything that happened after he logged back in, he couldn’t calm down.
He tried to move the chains binding his hands. They were very strong. His strength was restrained so he couldn’t break free or tear the bedposts apart.
Xu Fengqing pondered on how to break free from the restraints.
However, when he looked down and saw Xenos sleeping with a slightly curved lip and a hint of satisfaction in the dim moonlight, he stopped his struggle and even slowed his breathing.
He came over tonight because Xenos said he was in bad shape, but now it seemed very likely that it was a ruse to trick him into coming. But…
Thinking back to when they met, Xenos had faint dark circles under his eyes. It was also late at night when Administrator Qiu left with the documents in his arms.
Xu Fengqing’s heart softened.
Xenos might truly be exhausted. Xu Fengqing had many questions to ask and many things to say, but…
Let’s wait until tomorrow. Now might not be the right time to talk.
Xu Fengqing made a decision but…
He stared at the ceiling, utterly dejected. Finally, he couldn’t help whispering, “Even if you can’t let me go, could you lengthen these chains a bit?”
This posture with spread limbs was really…
The bedroom was quiet. Xenos didn’t respond to him as if he was really asleep.
Xu Fengqing closed his eyes, trying to suppress his emotions.
Then in the next moment, he felt the chains binding his hand loosen. Overjoyed, he opened his eyes and saw that the water chains on his hand had extended and his hands could move freely.
Xenos kept his eyes closed.
In fact, this level of relaxation also carried risks.
He had paid attention to physical training over the years but spiritual elementalists weren’t as physically strong as elemental warriors. There were still vulnerable parts of the human body.
Therefore, Fengqing could still kill him if he wanted to strangle Xu Fengqing in his sleep.
But…
If such a thing really happened, consider it his life back to him.
Xu Fengqing knew that Xenos probably wasn’t asleep yet, but had no idea what negative and terrible thoughts were swirling in his beloved’s mind.
He looked down at Xenos, reached out and gently tucked the silver hair behind his ear, revealing the man’s handsome profile.
When Xenos kissed him, he knew for certain that Xenos loved him too and they shared the same feelings.
This should’ve filled him with joy but why would Xenos resort to such extreme measures?
Xu Fengqing couldn’t understand it.
The image of Xenos’ sinister and insane gaze flashed before his eyes again.
This wasn’t the Xenos he knew. He even wondered if Xenos was being controlled by something.
No matter what, the person before him was indeed his Ah Xe. Even if he made a mistake, the system—the main god of this world, wouldn’t be wrong.
Xenos could feel the man’s scrutinizing gaze. He breathed calmly and quietly awaited his fate.
Then he felt the man’s warm hands embrace his back. The other hand gently stroked the back of his head, gently rubbing it.
His drooping eyelids trembled violently and Xenos couldn’t help opening his eyes.
He felt the man gently stroking him again and again, from the back of his head to down his back. It was soothing and coaxing, tender and seemingly with unspoken pampering.
Xenos’ feelings became somewhat complicated.
He had just doubted Fengqing.
He actually suspected that such a warm and kind person would kill him while he was sleeping.
Even if he knew the probability of this happening was almost zero, it was still wrong to have such thoughts, wasn’t it?
Now he had become so dark and deep that even he felt he was a stranger. Xenos’ listened quietly to the man’s heartbeat, his eyes dim.
After learning his true colors, Fengqing would despise him even more, right? If he couldn’t help doing something even worse to Fengqing in the future, would Fengqing still treat him so kindly?
Xenos had no answer and he was also afraid to know the answer.
After an unknown amount of time, Xenos closed his eyes again. Xu Fengqing, who didn’t need sleep, also fell asleep without realizing it.
Then when Xu Fengqing woke up again, Xenos was nowhere to be found in the bedroom.
Xu Fengqing raised his hand and touched his slightly numb lips.
Did Ah Xe do something to him again before he left? He felt a surge of heat as he recalled what Ah Xe had done to him yesterday.
Still, looking at the sunlight shining in from outside, Xu Fengqing pinched his nose with a headache.
His feet were bound and the chains were tightly stretched, so he couldn’t even sit up. He could only lie down. His hands had some freedom but their range of motion was very limited.
If this chain was an ordinary item, he could try to find a tool in the system store to unlock it, but it turned out to be Ah Xe’s magic chain.
Even if it could be solved, Ah Xe would sense it immediately.
Xu Fengqing’s intuition told him that it was best not to provoke Ah Xe with such behavior now, or Ah Xe might do something unexpected.
The question was… did he really want to just lie here and do nothing?
Xu Fengqing looked at the curtains above the bed. He was encountering such an absurd and thorny problem for the first time in his life.
Hiss.
Xu Fengqing was startled and turned his head to see a small white snake that had somehow crawled up the foot of the bed, greeting him.
“Xiao Feng?”
Hiss.
The little white snake crawled to Xu Fengqing’s side and affectionately rubbed its head against his cheek.
Xu Fengqing had given it to Xenos, but to this creature, Xu Fengqing was still like a father figure.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Xenos started to ask the little white snake about Xenos.
No matter how much Xenos disguised himself in front of others, he shouldn’t wear a disguise even in front of the little white snake, right?
