    Jet Lag – Catch-Up Sleep

    Jet Lag – Catch-Up Sleep

    “You’re wearing my bathrobe?” Cen Xi snapped out of his chaotic thoughts, staring intently at Luo Yan, as if wanting to devour him.

    A warning bell rang in Luo Yan’s heart. He slowed down his eating, nonchalantly affirming, “Yeah.”

    “Wearing my clothes, huh?” Cen Xi moved closer to Luo Yan, chair and all. Luo Yan outwardly ate his meal casually, but his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.

    “Is there a problem? Gege~” Luo Yan looked at Cen Xi, acting all innocent and obedient, as if he hadn’t done anything, yet had done everything.

    “Of course there’s no problem.” Cen Xi was sinking into those loving eyes, desire taking over. He kissed Luo Yan, his hands growing restless, moving gradually down from Luo Yan’s neck, until they reached the belt around his waist. With a gentle tug, the belt fell to the floor.

    The feeling of being restrained around his waist disappeared. Luo Yan pushed Cen Xi away, escaping the suffocation, clutching the bathrobe tightly, covering the clothes he wore underneath.

    Luo Yan’s unusual behavior piqued Cen Xi’s interest. He grasped Luo Yan’s hand, wanting to investigate, but Luo Yan held on tight, showing no intention of letting go, so Plan A was scrapped.

    “Yan Bao, let go, okay? I want to see.”

    “Baby, Yan Bao, can you grant me my wish?”

    Cen Xi started to cajole Luo Yan, a hint of grievance in his eyes, as if Luo Yan was bullying him by not letting him see.

    Under Cen Xi’s sweet words, Luo Yan’s hand loosened, and the outfit beneath the bathrobe was revealed to Cen Xi.

    “Baby, you’re so beautiful.” Cen Xi swept Luo Yan up in his arms. “I want to eat.”

    “Isn’t there food on the table?” Luo Yan buried his head in Cen Xi’s embrace, his face and ears turning red.

    “What’s in my arms is more delicious than what’s on the table.”

    Luo Yan was blushing furiously, gently patting Cen Xi’s chest. “Cen Xi!”

    “Yan Bao’s blushing.” The smile on Cen Xi’s face grew even more unrestrained. “I love you.”

    “I love you too.”

    The two entered the room, exchanging declarations of love…

    Afterward, Luo Yan enjoyed Cen Xi’s aftercare, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he had quickly eaten a few bites of food earlier.

    “Yan Bao, time to get up.” Cen Xi, already dressed and having gone out to buy breakfast, climbed back into bed, propping himself up on his hand, watching Luo Yan, who was still fast asleep, with doting eyes.

    “Don’t want to.” Luo Yan turned over, facing away from Cen Xi, answering weakly, pulling the blanket further back to completely cover himself.

    Cen Xi glanced at the time, got out of bed, went to the closet, took out a set of clothes, helped Luo Yan sit up, carefully helped Luo Yan put on the clothes, then leaned on Luo Yan’s shoulder, sniffing, nuzzling Luo Yan’s neck like a big dog.

    Luo Yan squirmed uncomfortably, as if trying to get away from the itchy source. “Don’t move, Gege.”

    His voice was soft and raspy. Cen Xi didn’t care and turned the nuzzling into kisses, lingering on Luo Yan’s neck for a full minute. Luo Yan finally opened his eyes, forcefully pushing Cen Xi away. “Gege, what are you doing!”

    “Get up, brush your teeth, hurry to the airport, we’re going to be late.”

    “You didn’t call me earlier.” Luo Yan sprang up and ran to brush his teeth and wash his face.

    Cen Xi leaned against the doorframe, watching Luo Yan’s flustered actions with amusement, occasionally reminding him how much time was left.

    “It takes half an hour to get to the airport from here, you have 10 minutes to wash up…”

    “Five minutes left.”

    “There’s…”

    “Gege, stop talking!!!”

    Luo Yan hurriedly hung up the washcloth. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”

    “Okay.” Cen Xi leisurely went to the kitchen to grab breakfast, put on his shoes, went out the door, and pressed the elevator button.

    The second the elevator arrived… “Bang!”

    Luo Yan slammed the door shut and followed Cen Xi into the elevator.

    “Here, eat something.” After getting into the car, Cen Xi tossed the breakfast to Luo Yan in the passenger seat.

    “Mm-hmm.” Luo Yan opened the bag, chose a coconut shredded bread, and asked as he ate, “Gege, do you want some?”

    “I already ate.” Cen Xi stared straight ahead, driving seriously.

    “Okay.” In that case, Luo Yan didn’t bother with him. He devoured everything in the bag one bite after another, feeling full just in time. He stretched, found a comfortable position to curl up in, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

    When the two arrived at the airport, everyone else was already sitting in the waiting room, dressed in black, huddled together like a gathering of gangsters.

    “Here, take these yourself.” Zhu Zi immediately pushed two suitcases aside to Cen Xi after seeing him. “What did you two pack? They’re so heavy!”

    “And these.” Zhu Zi pointed to two peripheral equipment bags on a chair nearby. “Remember to take those yourself.”

    “Thanks.” Cen Xi took the two suitcases and sat down with Luo Yan.

    “Xi-ge, your battle yesterday was pretty intense.”

    Although Cen Xi and Luo Yan were both wearing turtlenecks, they couldn’t hide the faint marks underneath.

    Hearing what Wu Xinming said, Luo Yan pulled his collar up, trying to cover them.

    “What’s wrong? Jealous?” Cen Xi’s smugness and pride were about to overflow the entire airport.

    Wu Xinshen secretly nodded to the side, glancing at Qing Lu.

    Wu Xinming sighed softly, waving his hand. “Not jealous, not jealous, just don’t want to eat dog food.”

    Cen Xi put his hand on Luo Yan’s shoulder, using a little force. Luo Yan leaned against Cen Xi’s arm, the two of them intimately close.

    “You have to eat it even if you don’t want to.” Cen Xi defended, not letting go of Luo Yan, but instead hugging him even tighter.

    “Fine, we can’t stop you from coming out of the closet anyway.” Zhu Zi gave up.

    Online, the wall of the SY XiLuo CP was already piled high. There was no use in managing it anymore.

    Moreover, most of their fans were technical fans. As long as the team didn’t lose the competition, everything was negotiable.

    When the plane landed, the official staff had already received the message from SY and dutifully took them to the hotel, assigning rooms according to the number of people.

    After discussion, it was decided that Zhu Zi and Wu Xinming would share a room, Wu Xinshen and Qing Lu would share a room, and Cen Xi and Luo Yan would share a room. When entering the rooms, Zhu Zi specially called Wu Xinshen and Cen Xi out, telling them to take it easy.

    After packing up their things, the group began to adjust to the time difference, and would officially train tomorrow.

    “A twin room.” Luo Yan opened the room. Next to the entrance was the bathroom. Further in, there were two beds on the left and right, separated by a bedside table. Opposite the beds was a TV.

    “Want a king-size room?” Cen Xi saw through Luo Yan’s thoughts at a glance.

    “Yeah, but it’s okay, the activity space is a little smaller, but it’s enough for us two to sleep in.” Luo Yan sprawled on the bed. “Gege, get me my pajamas and bath towel, I want to take a shower and sleep.”

    “Roger that.” Cen Xi opened the suitcase and threw what Luo Yan needed at him. Luo Yan glanced at it, reached out to Cen Xi, and Cen Xi understood, pulling Luo Yan up from the bed.

    “Mwah.” Luo Yan kissed Cen Xi on the cheek, deliberately making a loud sound. “Thank you, Gege, that’s your reward.”

    Cen Xi smiled helplessly, watching Luo Yan walk into the bathroom. “Be careful, the floor is slippery.”

    The sound of water came from the bathroom. Cen Xi continued to pack the two suitcases, placing all of their clothes neatly on the other bed.

    The sound of water stopped. Cen Xi had already finished packing, and was sitting on the bed. Luo Yan came out, took off his slippers, lay down on the bed, and shook Cen Xi’s hand. “Gege, hug me to sleep.”

    “I’ll take a shower and come.”

    The sound of water in the bathroom started again.

    When Cen Xi came out, Luo Yan was already asleep. He carefully got into bed and pulled Luo Yan into his arms. Luo Yan snuggled in Cen Xi’s arms in his sleep, finding a comfortable position.

    Cen Xi couldn’t help but stroke Luo Yan’s head, his chest against Luo Yan’s back, closing his eyes contentedly, and falling asleep as well.
