Chapter 57

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up instantly, and he kissed back, repeatedly asking, “Really? Is it really that good?”

The little puppy who received praise quickly wagged its tail and pounced on him. Both of them were still naked, and as they rubbed against each other, they became excited again after just resting.

Although Ling Sheng was willing to indulge him, it was obviously not the right time. One more time, and he estimated he could sleep straight until tomorrow morning. Besides, he was both thirsty and hungry, having not eaten anything for a whole day and night.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen also realized this and jumped out of bed to get him clothes after only a few rubs.

He opened the closet, bending slightly as he searched for clothes inside. His beautiful back muscles moved with his actions, and there were a few faint red marks on his back, probably left by him. Further down was his toned waist, from which you could see a hint of his Adonis belt. Further down were his full buttocks and slender legs. His skin tone was slightly tan, and the uneven color from summer tanning had already faded. Even just looking at his back, he was full of strength, beauty, and vibrant hormones.

“Brother…” Jiang Chen searched for a while, then turned around empty-handed. He squatted by the bed, looking at him with bright eyes. Ling Sheng’s indulgence last night and his praise just now had given him a lot of confidence, making him want to push his luck, “Can you… not wear clothes?”

Having just tasted the forbidden fruit, he became perverted without any prompting.

Ling Sheng found it amusing. He didn’t have the strength, so he lazily said, “But it will be cold.”

“I’ll hug you, and you won’t be cold.” Jiang Chen quickly said, then quickly added, “I’ll wrap you in a blanket. I’ll carry you to the living room. You don’t have to do anything. I can feed you if you want to eat, I can pour you water if you want to drink, and I can even help you go to the bathroom…”

“Can you help me go?” Ling Sheng’s eyes were full of laughter. He brushed his fingers across the stubble on his chin, “Carry me to the living room.”

Was that a yes?

Jiang Chen directly wrapped him in the entire quilt and carried him to the sofa in the living room. He even brought the mouthwash to his lips. Ling Sheng sat on the sofa, watching him carry the small basin to pour out his washing water, then brush his teeth, wash his face, and tidy himself up. When he came out, his beard was clean-shaven, and he looked refreshed, radiating a happy glow from the inside out.

He sat on the sofa, hugging Ling Sheng and the quilt together, but he felt it wasn’t enough. The quilt was too thick, so he crawled inside the quilt and hugged him, making sure to tuck the quilt in nicely.

Like two silkworms sharing one cocoon.

Ling Sheng thought they were so silly like this, but he also felt very happy.

But soon he felt that this wouldn’t work.

Jiang Chen was hugging him and couldn’t stay still at all. A movie was playing on TV, but Jiang Chen’s hands were touching him, either patting here or pinching there. At first, he could still watch the movie, but soon his whole head wanted to burrow into the quilt.

He wasn’t wearing any clothes, so he couldn’t stand his teasing.

Soon, he was pinned to the sofa. Jiang Chen rubbed his waist, burying his head in his chest. Ling Sheng breathed softly, his whole body trembling from the kisses that were moving downwards. His waist was still sore, and he had no strength at all. He wanted to refuse, but he had to admit that he liked Jiang Chen’s almost obsessive love.

Suddenly, a vibration brought both of them back to their senses at the same time.

Ling Sheng glanced at the coffee table with moist eyes, seeing his phone ringing. The delivery he ordered must have arrived.

The things he ordered were all light and refreshing. Ling Sheng was indeed hungry and ate a large bowl of porridge. If it weren’t for his physical condition preventing him from eating too much, he would have wanted to eat more. Jiang Chen felt a little guilty seeing him restrain himself, silently thinking that he would order him another midnight snack later.

In the end, Ling Sheng still put on his clothes. He had to go to work tomorrow. The two of them snuggled on the sofa and watched two movies, then ate some midnight snacks. Ling Sheng had expended too much energy and soon became sleepy again. After a simple wash, he went back to bed. Jiang Chen had to apply medicine for him. During the application, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but rub against him again. Ling Sheng’s heart softened by the rubbing, so they did it once more. But this time Jiang Chen was more restrained. After one time, he didn’t torment him anymore, honestly cleaning him up, applying the medicine, and letting him sleep.

The next day, Ling Sheng was sent to the company by Jiang Chen. Ling Sheng’s waist was still sore. After entering the office, he didn’t come out again. But after watching him go upstairs, Jiang Chen sent a message to Coco.

JC: [Coco, do you have time to have lunch together?]

Coco was surprised why Jiang Chen suddenly contacted her, but thinking of Ling Sheng’s low mood these past few days, and the joy that radiated from him after returning from his leave, she probably guessed it had something to do with him, so she agreed.

The two of them met for lunch at a restaurant not far from the company. As soon as Coco arrived, she saw Jiang Chen waiting for her there. She walked over and smiled, “Looks like you’re in a good mood.”

Jiang Chen also smiled, “I am, it’s almost the New Year.”

Coco smiled meaningfully, “More than that, I see that after Director Ling came back to work after his leave, his mood is more than just a little better.”

Jiang Chen knew about the relationship between Coco and Ling Sheng, so he naturally didn’t need to hide anything. The two of them ordered food, and while waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Chen said, “Ling Sheng told me some things about his university days, about Xiang Yang.”

Coco was a little surprised. After all, Xiang Yang’s matter was a knife in Ling Sheng’s heart in the beginning, and now it could be considered a thorn. He never liked people bringing it up, let alone him taking the initiative to talk about it. But thinking of the relaxed smile on his face when she went to find Ling Sheng today, Coco was also happy for him, saying, “Being able to say it is a good thing, it shows that he trusts you.”

Jiang Chen thought of that day and night, and couldn’t help but smile.

He had always felt like there was something between them before, but after this day and night, he no longer felt that way at all.

Coco looked at his delighted expression and was infected by him, laughing, “You have to treat our Director Ling well, don’t hurt his heart again.”

Jiang Chen nodded, but still said, “He told me a lot, but I still want to learn more from you.”

Coco thought for a moment, a hint of bitterness appearing in her smile, “Xiang Yang? I really don’t know where to start.”

She and Ling Sheng were in the same class when they started university, and they also joined the same club. The two had similar interests and compatible personalities, so they quickly became friends. Later, she found out about Ling Sheng’s sexual orientation and didn’t think anything of it. Ling Sheng didn’t hide from her that he liked Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang was very handsome, had good grades, and was the popular campus heartthrob on the basketball court. It was not surprising that he would attract someone’s liking. She watched Ling Sheng pursue Xiang Yang almost frantically.

Later, Xiang Yang might have been moved by Ling Sheng, so he agreed to try being together with him, but not publicly. Ling Sheng also agreed. The day they got together, Ling Sheng was so excited that he got sick the next day, with a fever of almost forty degrees. He was delirious and smiling in his sleep.

Because Xiang Yang had once praised a girl from the Fashion Academy as beautiful, Ling Sheng grew his hair long. Xiang Yang liked people who were slender and looked like they could arouse protection, so Ling Sheng lost weight. Xiang Yang didn’t like Ling Sheng expressing intimacy to him in public, so Ling Sheng endured it and told others that they were good buddies.

They said they were dating for four months, but it was only really two months. Two months later, Xiang Yang still broke up with him because he had fallen in love with a girl.

Ling Sheng didn’t agree. He tried almost everything to win Xiang Yang back, but Xiang Yang was firm.

And Ling Sheng grew his hair long, and his weight, which was originally only 130 pounds, dropped by 20 pounds just to wear that red dress that Xiang Yang had praised as beautiful. He went to beg Xiang Yang, to try with him again, one last time.

That night, when she received Ling Sheng’s call and went to find him, Ling Sheng was in his rented apartment, wearing that red dress and curled up in bed. When he saw her, he only asked one question: Why isn’t it a size S?

A man’s frame was originally bigger than a woman’s, even if Ling Sheng was so thin that he only had bones all over his body, he couldn’t fit into a size S.

She sat with him all night, and Ling Sheng only fell asleep when it was dawn. When he woke up again, he just said that he had decided not to like Xiang Yang anymore.

She admired Ling Sheng in this respect. Once he really made a decision, he would carry it out to the end. He said he would no longer like him, so he stopped paying attention to everything about Xiang Yang, like a drug addict forcibly quitting in the most direct and cruel way, changing houses, throwing away everything related to Xiang Yang, and never cooking again. He silently put all his energy into studying and working, and then went all the way, soaring. They both entered Eternity at the same time, she got married after graduation and stayed in Jiang City, but Ling Sheng, as if he had no attachments, went directly to Jing City.

But she knew that he hadn’t let go. Even every time she mentioned emotional issues to him, Ling Sheng chose to avoid them. When he came back for the New Year, she also clearly felt that he didn’t take his body seriously.

Coco said this, clearly seeing Jiang Chen’s expression sink, she quickly stopped, a little worried that she had said too much, saying, “But he’s doing well with you now, it’s all in the past.”

Jiang Chen was no longer as anxious as before. He could now clearly feel Ling Sheng’s seriousness and attention, so he just felt sorry for him.

When paying the bill, Jiang Chen insisted on paying. Coco joked that it wasn’t appropriate for a married woman to accept payment from a man other than her husband. Jiang Chen just smiled and said, “Isn’t this just trying to please my in-laws?”

Coco smiled and accepted his bribe.

When the two returned home in the evening, Ling Sheng requested that Jiang Chen abstain from sex for the next two days because the holidays were coming up soon, and there were many things to do. He didn’t want to take a day off after working for only one day, and he would accompany him after he was done.

Jiang Chen unexpectedly didn’t resist. The two of them tacitly didn’t mention letting Jiang Chen go back home. After taking a shower, they went to bed. Jiang Chen hugged Ling Sheng’s waist, slowly stroking his back, able to clearly feel the vertebrae, then touching his shoulder blades and arms. Ling Sheng felt a little itchy and a little confused.

If it was flirting, this technique was a little too innocent, more like picking meat bones at the market.

“How much do you weigh now?” Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

Ling Sheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he was asking this, but still replied, “Around 130, why?”

For a man, with a height of 179, a weight of 130 was light. Jiang Chen thought of what Coco said today, and even like this, he felt that he was too thin. If he lost another 20 pounds, he didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like.

“Gained weight?” Ling Sheng reached out and pinched his waist.

Although he hadn’t been exercising much recently, he felt okay, there wasn’t much excess fat.

“Lost weight.” Jiang Chen’s hand moved down, pinching the meatiest part, “Eat more recently.”

Ling Sheng didn’t know about his meeting with Coco, and casually said, “Don’t people usually gain weight during the New Year? Maybe after the New Year, you’ll think I’m fat.”

“Won’t.” Jiang Chen originally didn’t have any other thoughts, but as he rubbed, his hand wanted to reach inside. He was grabbed by Ling Sheng, and reluctantly retracted his hand.

Ling Sheng turned around and was dragged into Jiang Chen’s arms from behind again. He smiled silently, then heard Jiang Chen say again, “When are you going back with me?”

Ling Sheng knew what he was asking, frowned slightly, but still said, “After the New Year, let your parents have a good New Year first.”
