ICY Chapter 13

Chapter 13

While eating hot pot, Su Zhao Li requested a private room. He ordered all the soup bases and dishes, and even prepared the dipping sauces for Jiang Shi. Jiang Shi just followed him around in silence the entire time.

Seeing that all the dishes were served, but the soup base hadn’t started bubbling yet, Jiang Shi remained dispirited.

“A Shi,” Su Zhao Li called out to him. Only then did Jiang Shi raise his head and look at Su Zhao Li in front of him, “Huh?”

“Mmm…” “Chu” “Ha”

Jiang Shi stared wide-eyed at Su Zhao Li, who was now straddling his lap, face-to-face. Su Zhao Li’s tongue was in his mouth; Su Zhao Li was kissing him! A deep kiss!!

“Um…” Su Zhao Li separated slightly from Jiang Shi, “Not only do you not respond to me, but you always make me bump into your teeth. It hurts so much. No more kissing, no more kissing.”

“Don’t.” Jiang Shi swallowed and held onto Su Zhao Li, not letting him leave, “A Li, you…”

“Don’t talk yet, kiss or not?” Su Zhao Li wasn’t shy at all now. He had to give Jiang Shi a jolt.

“Kiss.”

“Then what if you bump into me?”

“I’ll kiss A Li, that way I’ll be the one getting bumped.”

“Okay, ah—” Su Zhao Li parted his lips and waited for him. Jiang Shi looked at the exposed tongue and slightly reddened lips and blocked them. Their tongues intertwined, going in and out of each other’s mouths. Neither of them had any kissing experience, and it was both of their first times, without any method, but they still kissed happily, not wanting to separate even a bit.

“Um um um,” Su Zhao Li patted Jiang Shi, he was having trouble breathing.

Both of their lips were red and glistening. Su Zhao Li licked his lips, finally feeling embarrassed and leaning onto Jiang Shi.

“A Li, you like me too, right?”

“Yes.” Su Zhao Li simply buried his face in Jiang Shi’s body. They had already kissed, what was there to ask now?

“Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, then give the kiss back.”

“I believe you, I believe you, I’m just too happy.”

“Hmph.”

“Then A Li, can I kiss you again?”

“Why?”

“If I kiss you one more time, I’ll completely believe it.”

“You…” Su Zhao Li deeply felt that Jiang Shi was learning to be bad.

“No, your lips will get swollen and you won’t be able to eat hot pot, but I can give you a reward.”

“What?”

“Mwah.” Su Zhao Li kissed Jiang Shi on the chin, even sticking out his tongue to lick it.

“A Li…” Jiang Shi’s face turned completely red, shyly covering his face with his hands.

“Don’t cover it up, how come you weren’t this shy when you were asking for a kiss just now?”

“A Li~” Jiang Shi collapsed on Su Zhao Li’s shoulder.

“Jiang Shi, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“Mm.”

“Even though I like you now, and you like me, let’s not date during high school.”

“Why?”

“That way we won’t be considered early dating, and we can argue if the school catches us. Besides, early dating is illegal, and we are law-abiding citizens, we don’t do illegal things.” Su Zhao Li joked with him.

“A Li thinks so thoroughly.”

“Will you be angry like this?”

“Why should I be angry? It’s enough to make me happy for a lifetime that A Li likes me.”

Su Zhao Li happily swung his feet, “Alright, I’m not kidding with you. If we date in high school, there will always be many people who like to joke and watch the fun. I don’t like that.”

“But A Shi, I’ll allow you to do the things that should be done.” Su Zhao Li said in Jiang Shi’s ear.

“Okay, the water’s boiling, I’m going to eat hot pot.” After flirting, Su Zhao Li ruthlessly wanted to leave, but he didn’t expect that his body, which had softened during the kiss, hadn’t recovered yet, and Su Zhao Li almost fell flat on his face.

“Pfft, A Li, eat with me.”

Jiang Shi held Su Zhao Li on his lap, the same position he used to hold Su Zhao Li in the past.

Su Zhao Li had liked this way of being held for so long, but today he felt a sense of shame for the first time.

“Ah—I’ll feed A Li.”

“No, no.” Su Zhao Li wanted to struggle free. Being fed like this was too childish.

But Jiang Shi’s strength was too great, Su Zhao Li wriggled left and right but couldn’t get out. Okay, no one’s seeing anyway, if he wants to serve him, let him serve him, he’ll just enjoy the leisure.

“If you really want to feed me, you have to feed me like this for a lifetime.”

“Okay, open your mouth, ah—”

Su Zhao Li obediently opened his mouth, chewing and chewing, it was about to slide down, “Jiang Shi.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

“It’s so unstable, is it because your legs aren’t long enough?” Su Zhao Li teased him.

With a “chuu,” Su Zhao Li slid to Jiang Shi’s knees, “Jiang Shi, you… you’re already this bad before we’re even dating. Will you change your mind about me in the future? You won’t be violent with me, will you? If you imprison me, I’ll definitely break free… um um.”

“Okay, okay, it’s my fault.”

“My mouth is full of chili peppers and you still kiss me, you… you… you’ve turned bad. You wouldn’t kiss me before even if I asked you to.”

“But A Li said I could do the things that should be done.”

“Now it’s time to eat, who kisses all day long as soon as they start dating?” Su Zhao Li accused Jiang Shi, the more he said, the more shy he became. Both times, he was the one who wanted to kiss.

“I want to eat shrimp paste.”

“Okay.”

It took almost two hours to finally feed Su Zhao Li, and by the time they left the hot pot restaurant, it was almost dark.

Su Zhao Li interlocked fingers with Jiang Shi, “I’m so full, shall we walk back?”

“Okay.”

Saying they were walking back, but both of them tacitly wandered around in the wrong direction all the way.

“Sigh, we’re here anyway.”

“Jiang Shi~ Jiang Shi~ I’m so reluctant to part with you. Why don’t you sleep at my house tonight? We can sleep together, or I can go sleep at your house, I don’t want to be separated from you.”

Su Zhao Li’s arm was draped over Jiang Shi’s shoulder, “Okay?”

To be honest, Jiang Shi was really tempted. If they could sleep together, he could have so much more time with Su Zhao Li.

“Su Zhao Li! What are you doing at the door? Come home, come home.” Chu Nan Du’s roar came from behind.

Su Zhao Li immediately released Jiang Shi like a guilty thief, and even took a few steps back to distance himself from Jiang Shi. He didn’t know what was wrong with him, he was clearly very open and aboveboard before.

Now he had the feeling of dating behind his parents’ backs.

“Brother, why are you outside so late?”

“You know it’s late at night? Just got back. Let me tell you, Mom and Dad are behind us, thanks to me walking fast, you better restrain yourself.” Chu Nan Du said to Su Zhao Li in a low voice.

“Caregiver and Father Chu are behind us? Jiang Shi, hurry up and go, don’t let them see you.” Su Zhao Li pushed Jiang Shi to leave quickly.

“A Li~”

Su Zhao Li took out his phone and waved it, “Call tonight.”

“Okay.”

Su Zhao Li turned his head happily and saw Chu Nan Du looking at him with a strange expression.

“What’s wrong with you? How come you suddenly have a sense of shame? It’s too sudden.”

“Our identities are different now, although we’re not dating, we’re a real couple.”

“Huh?” A couple who aren’t dating?

Chu Nan Du hadn’t figured out the trick yet, but Su Zhao Li had already gone to meet Father Chu and Mother Chu in a good mood.

“Father Chu, Mother Chu.”

“Why are you here, A Li?”

“I just happened to run into Brother on the way back, he said you were behind, so I waited.”

“You had hot pot for dinner?”

“Mm.”

“Was it delicious?”

Su Zhao Li smiled, “Super delicious.”

“What happened this afternoon? Why did you suddenly want to leave school early?”

“Nothing, I just thought that I haven’t skipped class in my three years of high school, so I asked A Shi to go eat hot pot together. We experienced the feeling of skipping class.”

“How did it feel?”

“Not bad.”

“Let’s go, it’s quite cold downstairs, hurry up and go upstairs to warm up.”

“Okay.”

“Son, what are you standing there dumbfounded for? Let’s go.”

“Ah oh.”

·

“A Li, you’ve already showered?”

Of course, Su Zhao Li hurriedly rushed home and went into the bathroom to shower and wash up, afraid of missing Jiang Shi’s call.

“Because I’m a little tired, I’ll lie in bed and talk to you.”

“A Shi, I might fall asleep while talking to you later. Can A Shi wait until I fall asleep before taking a shower?”

“Of course.”

“A Shi…”

“…”

Jiang Shi looked at the darkness on the other side of the camera. Su Zhao Li must have fallen asleep, he didn’t even know that his phone had fallen over.

Jiang Shi minimized the video chat with Su Zhao Li and opened the chat interface with Chu Nan Du, “A Li fell asleep, can you help him turn off the light?”

“Wow! How did you know?” Chu Nan Du replied to him.

“We’re on video chat.”

“Alright, alright, I’m the old nanny of your love, I’ll turn off the light.”

With a “click,” the screen fell into complete darkness, “A Li, good night.”

At eight o’clock in the morning, Jiang Shi appeared at the door of Su Zhao Li’s house again, just like during winter vacation.

“Xiao Shi is here? Come in, A Li is still in the room, go see if he’s awake?”

“Okay, Auntie.”

Jiang Shi quietly opened Su Zhao Li’s door. The curtains were tightly closed, only letting in sparse light.

It seemed that he hadn’t gotten up yet. Jiang Shi originally wanted to quietly close the door and leave, but Su Zhao Li actually heard the sound and slowly got up.

“A Shi, you’re here? So early.” Su Zhao Li yawned.

“Be good, do you want to turn on the light?”

“No, I’m still so sleepy, A Shi, sleep with me for a while.”

“Okay.”

“Sleep with me on the bed.”

“No, A Li, I just came in from outside, I’ll get your bed dirty.”

“Then do you want to sit here and watch me sleep?” Su Zhao Li originally meant to complain to Jiang Shi, but Jiang Shi didn’t understand and replied to Su Zhao Li foolishly, “I’ll accompany you, sleep.”

Su Zhao Li was annoyed, “Forget it, I won’t sleep, A Shi’s here, so I’ll spend the time with you.”

“A Shi, sit down first, I’ll go wash up.”

“Okay.”

In fact, the two of them didn’t do anything special together on the weekend, they just sat at a desk and did their homework. But obviously, Jiang Shi had opened up a lot and was even more attached to Su Zhao Li.

As soon as Su Zhao Li saw Jiang Shi sitting in the chair waiting for him, he thought of last night’s hot pot. Absolutely not, luckily Jiang Shi still knew Su Zhao Li’s limits and didn’t make trouble or disturb Su Zhao Li while doing his homework.

Su Zhao Li’s studies were already very stable, in comparison, Jiang Shi was under more pressure. If he wanted to get into the same university, he couldn’t let Su Zhao Li waste his scores to accompany him, he had to work harder to catch up.

“A Li, you do your homework first, I’ll go ask Chu Nan Du a few questions.”

“Okay.”

Su Zhao Li was tired from doing his homework and looked up at the green trees and blue sky outside the window. The winter sun shone on the desk, the time was beautiful, he was waiting for his lover.
