Liu Zhenqing expressed his disdain: “No matter how beautiful the night is, how can you help me?”

“Don’t forget that when I pursue a person, I catch them easily.” Song Xingmu raised his head proudly.

Liu Zhenqing remained stubborn, saying: “Why should I pursue someone? I just want him to hurry up and face the facts. I’ve begun to wonder if he only loves the Liu Zhenqing of the past.”

“Why do you care so much? Just be happy while you have the chance, it’s too late to change anything now. There’s no use in using drugs on you, but it’s fine to give them to him and make him unable to control himself.” Song Xingmu said this with a wicked smile.

Liu Zhenqing’s heart palpitated at just the thought, ah, because he was impatient with Huo Fenglie’s restraint.

But he still said decently: “Am I this kind of person?”

Song Xingmu said: “The brave will sate their hunger and the timid will starve. Look over there.”

Liu Zhenqing looked over and saw that at some point, He Lan had placed a hand on Qin Yu’s shoulder. With an extremely enthusiastic attitude, he tried to get Qin Yu to drink wine. This evil intention could be clearly seen across the table.

What surprised Liu Zhenqing was that Qin Yu was very cooperative this time and didn’t kick that person away. Could it be that their relationship had truly made great progress? Or was he already drunk? But the wine He Lan had found really had a lot of stamina.

“Men, ah, as long as they have sex, anything can be figured out. You should have sex first, then fall in love.” Song Xingmu said boldly: “And if there are any problems again, just do it a few more times. Once the body is exhausted, the heart will be happy.”

Hearing these words, even Liu Zhenqing felt a little uncomfortable. This person really deserved to be the Sea King.

Liu Zhenqing poked fun at him, saying: “Are you planning to use this trick on Yi Chuan, ah? He has been by your side for many years, but you’ve never made a move. I thought you kept him at your side because of your attraction to him.”

“It’s because I didn’t think his talent should be wasted, okay?” Song Xingmu was quick to speak resolutely. 

Liu Zhenqing squinted at him.

Song Xingmu felt that he couldn’t hide anything from this brother who knew everything. “Fine, I fell in love with him at first sight. It is no exaggeration to say that my feelings for him are getting deeper and deeper, but he is a person who hates men to the extreme. You also know the reason for that. There is really nothing to be done in such a situation. I can’t force him to think of such a sad thing. So I just can’t pursue him, that’s all. It’s not bad to be together like this for the rest of our lives.”

Liu Zhenqing gave a small sigh. It was unknown if choosing someone unattainable could be considered the Sea King’s retribution. After all, what happened to Yi Chuan’s brother had once dealt a heavy blow to him. This kind of psychological problem was difficult to deal with, and Song Xingmu could only hold back in order to avoid hurting him. As a result, so many years had been wasted.

“Then what if he wants to get married and have children in the future?” Liu Zhenqing asked curiously. After all, Yi Chuan was younger than Song Xingmu.

Song Xingmu stared blankly and said: “Then I will probably find a way to snatch away his fiance and not give him a chance to marry. Just with my face and my ability to coax girls, it would be easy to win against a youngster like him.”

Liu Zhenqing opened his mouth wide in astonishment, but Song Xingmu smiled and said: “I’m just kidding. Naturally, I would send gifts and blessings.”

According to Liu Zhenqing’s understanding of this brother, it hadn’t felt like a joke at all. He even thought that this kind of thing might have happened before, and that anyone who fell in love with Yi Chuan would be lured away by Song Xingmu before he turned around. He was so petty. How could he allow the person he liked to become someone else’s?

While the two of them talked, they were unaware that Yi Chuan was crouched at the foot of the outer wall of the courtyard with a heated bottle of wine. His head was buried in his arms, completely concealing his expression.

When Yi Chuan returned with the wine, Song Xingmu’s conversation topic had evolved to a restricted level.

“Be honest, do you know what goes on between men? It’s not just touching like last time.”

“Nonsense, of course I know.” Liu Zhenqing had drunk a little too much alcohol and was unwilling to be looked down upon.

Song Xingmu instructed: “No matter how you look at it, you are the one who will be the recipient. So you’ll have to be prepared, otherwise you will suffer a lot when the time comes. Just looking at Huo Fenglie’s physique…..”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a bang.

Song Xingmu looked up and saw that a dark-faced Yi Chuan had put the bottle down. Song Xingmu promptly waved his hands and said: “You sit aside and drink. Don’t listen, kid.”

Yi Chuan really didn’t want to listen to this kind of thing, so he might as well sit farther away. But when he thought of what Song Xingmu had said before, he couldn’t help but prick up his ears.

In fact, ever since he completed his studies and descended the mountain to follow Song Xingmu, although Song Xingmu behaved wildly, he really never really did anything with others. So even though it was known that Song Xingmu liked men, it was still not clear whether he was the giver or receiver in a relationship between men.

Yi Chuan glanced at Song Xingmu. After so many years, he felt that the other man could still pass for a man or a woman, so he should be the receiver.

In fact, Yi Chuan often thought that if Song Xingmu was actually a woman, he would have already established a successful career and married him. After all, he was the one who fell in love with Song Xingmu at first sight when he was dressed as a woman.

Over there, Song Xingmu drank too much, talked too much, and continued to disseminate common sense to his good brother.

When he heard that Liu Zhenqing really hadn’t seen Huo Fenglie’s size, the drunk Song Xingmu said that he would take him to go and have a look. So without saying a word, he grabbed Liu Zhenqing’s collar and flew away with him.

Seeing that Song Xingmu was clearly drunk, Yi Chuan was afraid that he would mess with his hand, so he followed after him quickly.

The remaining two people returned to their senses when they saw such commotion.

“What are they doing?” Qin Yu asked.

“They drank too much, so they’re going to use the latrine. Don’t worry about it, let’s keep drinking,” He Lan said enthusiastically.

Qin Yu pushed away his offer to drink: “I won’t.”

After saying this, he stood and went to leave, but he didn’t even take two steps when he began to stumble. He Lan stepped forward and held him: “I told you that your drinking capacity is not as good as mine. Come on, I’ll take you back.” As he spoke, his hands touched Qin Yu’s slender waist from time to time.

Qin Yu gave him a sideways glance, but didn’t stop him, allowing He Lan to carry him back to the room.

He Lan spoke with a smile: “Right, Zhanyuan and the others will be leaving in two days. We might as well go with them. In any case, someone from the capital will naturally handle the rest. We’ve worked so hard all the way, so we should have a good rest.”

“You’re probably afraid to return to the capital,” Qin Yu said in a heavy voice.

He Lan said in an exaggerated manner: “Yes, ah, I’m so afraid. Afraid that I’ll be enslaved when I go back, and I want a vacation, a vacation! So, ah, Qin Zichuan, you can’t go back either. If you go back, you will expose me.”

Qin Yu said nothing. In fact, they both knew that when they returned to the capital, they would no longer be just Qin Yu and He Lan. And they were Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Even if both of those looked good on the outside, nobody knew what they were like on the inside.

He Lan put him on the bed and deliberately didn’t get up, deliberately keeping that position for a while. Then he raised his head with a smile: “What should be done? I seem to be drunk too. I can’t stand up, and I can’t go back. How about you let me sleep here?”

He Lan gave a shameless smile, and Qin Yu looked at him expressionlessly.

He Lan raised an eyebrow, and ambiguity gradually gleamed in his eyes. “Zichuan, do you want to…..”

Suddenly, Qin Yu flipped over and reversed their positions.

He Lan was startled. Thinking that Qin Yu couldn’t resist exploiting an opportunity, he raised his hand to cover his face.

But in the next second, gentle lips descended.

This was the first time Qin Yu had taken the initiative to kiss him. He Lan was very confused for a moment, but when he reacted, he was like an eagle catching prey, never letting go.

But this night, Qin Yu’s behavior was different. The previous times happened due to drugs, and Qin Yu was almost always passive. But this time, without the drugs, Qin Yu’s initiative almost made He Lan want to stay in bed with this person until death.

Looking back afterwards, perhaps it was because Qin Yu thought it would be their last time. Only then could he give up all dignity and only seek satisfaction without leaving behind any regrets.

And that night, that fair, delicate body took control of the situation in bed for almost half the time, yet was still weak and boneless. The image could never be erased from He Lan’s mind.

On the other side, Liu Zhenqing was slightly rejuvenated by the cool breeze on the roof. When he was able to react, he saw Song Xingmu point to the roof tiles and say: “Go down and have a closer look, ah.”

Liu Zhenqing: ……

Before Liu Zhenqing could do anything, Huo Fenglie’s voice came from below. He had great martial arts skills, and could certainly sense it when there were people standing on the roof.

But he couldn’t leave the medicinal bath, so he could only give a warning.

“Who is it?”

As soon as he heard the voice, Song Xingmu looked troubled and said quickly: “Hurry up.”

Liu Zhenqing was still confused when he saw Song Xingmu use his good hand to lift up the tiles and open a skylight in the room. Then he was grabbed, and Liu Zhenqing felt the belt of his robes being ripped off as he was thrown down from the skylight.

Yi Chuan to the side watched everything, dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, he was dragged away by Song Xingmu. It seemed that he was playing a prank, and he really was drunk.

A cry stunned Huo Fenglie, who was preparing to take action. He instantly knew who was falling, and could only use his internal strength to slow him a bit. Then he heard a splash as Liu Zhenqing completed his previously unfinished goal of bathing together and fell directly into Huo Fenglie’s medicinal bath.

Water splashed everywhere. Liu Zhenqing felt Huo Fenglie reach out to support him, but water had splashed into his eyes and he could only open one of them.

But the moment he opened his eye, Liu Zhenqing seemed to see that a leaf had fallen on Huo Fenglie’s shoulder.

His vision was blurry and he couldn’t see clearly. When he was about to open his eyes and take a closer look, Huo Fenglie suddenly pushed Liu Zhenqing into the water as if startled and slightly frightened. He didn’t give him a chance to see it again.

But at this time, Liu Zhenqing could see everything under the water from a different angle.

Cross-legged, Huo Fenglie sat in the bath with nothing covering him. After Liu Zhenqing was pushed down by Huo Fenglie, he almost had a face-to-face encounter with a certain thing.

This moment of stimulation caused Liu Zhenqing to choke on water.

Huo Fenglie also reacted quickly and fished this person out, pulling the back of Liu Zhenqing’s head with one hand and covering his eyes with the other.

Liu Zhenqing coughed for a while before stopping, but his head was still buzzing. Everything had happened so fast just now. He didn’t even know what was going on, but he had achieved his purpose in coming here tonight. He really saw it.

Although he had vaguely seen it through clothing and had touched it casually, he had never really observed it.

Liu Zhenqing didn’t even care about Huo Fenglie covering his eyes, and muttered to himself: “So…..so big.”

It simply made a man feel inferior after seeing it. Right now it was sleeping, but when it woke up, Liu Zhenqing would truly worry about his future, ah!

And Huo Fenglie was also nervous, because at this moment, the tattoo on his body was completely visible. He was afraid that Liu Zhenqing would see it just now, so he had pushed his head down in a hurry. After he came to his senses, he could only cover Liu Zhenqing’s eyes.

As a result, he was caught off guard when he heard such a sentence. It took him a moment to realize what Liu Zhenqing was talking about, and his face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

“Qing…..Qing-ge? What are you doing here?”

Liu Zhenqing quickly shirked the blame and said: “I had nothing to do with it. Song Xingmu got drunk and acted crazy.”

Huo Fenglie looked at the disheveled Liu Zhenqing before him. His undershirt completely outlined the curves of his body due to being soaked, and his black hair was stuck to his crystal-clear skin. He exuded an aroma of wine that made a person dizzy.

Feeling that he could no longer stay like this, Huo Fenglie said: “Let’s get out…..”

“Wait, you haven’t spent enough time in here yet.”

“Then…..you get out.”

Liu Zhenqing was about to acquiesce, but then realized that his eyes had been covered. Speechless, he tried to push Huo Fenglie’s hand away: “What are you doing, ah?”

Huo Fenglie remained silent and didn’t respond, nor did he remove his hand. With one hand on the other’s head and the second covering his eyes, he guarded against Liu Zhenqing, fearing that he might suddenly see something.

“I just saw it in the water, there’s no need to be shy. You should be proud.” Liu Zhenqing spoke with a smile, wondering if there was a reaction. So he was embarrassed to let him see it. Hehehe, then he certainly had to take a look.

Huo Fenglie became a bit hotter when he was told this. “Qing-ge…..please move to the back of the tub.”

“Okay, ah. Move your hand, I’ll close my eyes. I promise not to look,” Liu Zhenqing said.

Probably because Liu Zhenqing spoke so airily, Huo Fenglie fell silent.

Liu Zhenqing continued to coax, “Qing-ge swears that he will never look. Whoever opens his eyes is a dog.”

Huo Fenglie still didn’t move. Yes, ah, who was the dog in this trick? Every time, Qing-ge was the one who woofed, showing no credibility at all.

But Huo Fenglie was at his wit’s end. He really wanted to cover himself with a bath towel, but then he would have to let go. According to his understanding of Liu Zhenqing, he would certainly take this opportunity to cause trouble.

However, Liu Zhenqing was currently restless. Knowing that Huo Fenglie would not let go, he began to reach out and feel around.

From Huo Fenglie’s face, to his chest, and then farther down. It was obvious that he was trying to intimidate Huo Fenglie.

Huo Fenglie’s body tensed: “Qing-ge!”

“What are you doing? You can block me. Otherwise I’ll continue to touch the beauty blindfolded.” Liu Zhenqing gave an evil smile and used his trump card, stretching out his hand toward a certain place.

Startled, Huo Fenglie suddenly pulled Liu Zhenqing into his arms, hugging him tightly. Or rather, capturing him. This forced Liu Zhenqing’s arms to go over Huo Fenglie’s shoulders and rest outside the tub. Due to being held tightly, Liu Zhenqing’s hands naturally couldn’t mess with Huo Fenglie’s body.

Liu Zhenqing tried to turn his head and look, but Huo Fenglie held his head down with one hand. This way, even without blindfolding him, Liu Zhenqing couldn’t see any of what was on Huo Fenglie. Now Liu Zhenqing was no threat to Huo Fenglie at all, and could only smack him on the head angrily.

Huo Fenglie had just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the person in his arms move.

His face suddenly tensed. Because this action basically made Liu Zhenqing sit on Huo Fenglie in the most intimate position.

And the place where…..

Liu Zhenqing chuckled in his ear, stirring up waves of heat and embarrassment and making him too ashamed to show his face. Did Qing-ge feel it?

At this time, Liu Zhenqing was also a little slow to react, and Huo Fenglie was able to pull himself up to sit. This was not what he had wanted to cover up before, but the tattoo.

The tattoo was revealed after being exposed to hot water for a time, so Huo Fenglie took his medicinal baths alone.

Liu Zhenqing asked directly: “You don’t want me to see the tattoo? What is the secret, ah?”

“There isn’t one!” Huo Fenglie said quickly.

Liu Zhenqing discovered that this was really a taboo for Huo Fenglie. He didn’t need to dig up the other person’s little secrets to prove his own importance, but he still cared a little bit inside.

“You really can’t show it to me?” Liu Zhenqing lay leisurely in Huo Fenglie’s arms as he said this almost coquettishly.

Huo Fenglie was silent for a moment. “I can’t.”

Such a straightforward statement. What else could Liu Zhenqing say? Everyone had little secrets, and he also had a secret that he dared not tell Huo Fenglie, ah.

So Liu Zhenqing no longer pushed. “Okay, I won’t look at it. However…..”

Liu Zhenqing abruptly turned his head. His lips nearly touched Huo Fenglie’s earlobe like a kiss, and he instantly turned red.

“I really drank too much, and now I’m being tormented like this by you.” Liu Zhenqing twisted like a willow in the water, letting Huo Fenglie feel the changes in his body. “You know we’re both men, Fenglie. Help me like you did before.”

Huo Fenglie was shocked, and said almost dumbly: “Qing-ge, like this…..it isn’t good.”

“You dislike it?”

“N…..no.”

“Then help me. Hurry up.”
