    Chapter 56: Reciprocity

    The hotel bed was large, and Li Chongge’s hands were hot, so hot that Qin Yuanging couldn’t think straight. He could only desperately clutch the hand that brought him endless pleasure.

    Li Chongge paused slightly, and Qin Yuanging, unsatisfied, took the initiative to move closer. But after getting closer, he slowly retreated, not wanting to appear too eager.

    Li Chongge took in every one of Qin Yuanging’s movements. He stopped his actions, patiently watching as he kissed Qin Yuanging’s forehead all the way down to his lips.

    Qin Yuanging was dissatisfied with Li Chongge’s sudden pause. The dense, gentle kisses not only failed to soothe him but also aroused more desire. Qin Yuanging impatiently and somewhat agitatedly pushed him away, only daring to urge him with his eyes.

    “You can tell me your needs directly.”

    Li Chongge reminded him gently.

    He was actually suffering no less than Qin Yuanging. A certain madly clamoring desire was about to overwhelm his reason.

    But even so, he insisted on teaching Qin Yuanging to face his needs directly.

    Qin Yuanging’s eyes were brimming with physiological tears, but he stubbornly remained silent.

    Li Chongge was the first to compromise. In their years of rivalry, he had won only a handful of times.

    The pace quickened, and a few uncontrolled moans escaped as Qin Yuanging’s body gradually tensed.

    Li Chongge paused his hand, leaning down to suck on his earlobe before releasing it.

    “Do you remember that night you first went to my place in Jiang City, the shirt you wore as pajamas?”

    Qin Yuanging half-opened his eyes in confusion, his voice fragmented, “I remember, what about it?”

    He didn’t think Li Chongge would mention it for no reason at a time like this, so even though he didn’t really want to talk right now, he still responded to Li Chongge.

    “I brought it back and dirtied it several times.”

    Qin Yuanging’s eyes widened, and he released himself the moment the words fell.

    “Qin Yuanging, this is not shameful.”

    His body still lingered with the afterglow of extreme pleasure, Qin Yuanging buried his head in Li Chongge’s chest to quietly feel it. When his breathing gradually stabilized, he looked up and kissed Li Chongge’s chin.

    “Okay.”

    Qin Yuanging loved Li Chongge both in his heart and in his body, so it wasn’t shameful to have desires for him.

    Qin Yuanging’s bath towel had been thrown under the bed in the chaos, and now most of his naked, fair, and flushed body, which was extremely tempting to Li Chongge, was exposed.

    In contrast, only Li Chongge’s pajamas were slightly disheveled.

    “Qin Yuanging, reciprocity is basic etiquette.”

    Qin Yuanging regained some strength, turned over, and pressed his whole body against Li Chongge’s, clearly feeling the hardness somewhere on him.

    “Or, directly…”

    “No, I don’t want to in a hotel, and we don’t have anything.”

    Li Chongge needed a safe, secret, and undisturbed private space to cherish his lover to the fullest.

    Qin Yuanging thought it made sense, so he closed his eyes and groped under the covers bit by bit.

    Qin Yuanging’s skills were lacking, so Li Chongge had to spend some time teaching him. While Qin Yuanging was diligently learning, Li Chongge didn’t stop either, leaving marks little by little on the fair skin.

    This also caused the restlessness that Qin Yuanging had just reduced to come back stronger.

    The suppressed gasps in the room continued until two in the morning. The two of them took another shower, put on clean pajamas, and hugged each other to sleep soundly.

    It wasn’t the first time they had slept in the same bed, but it was the first time they could openly embrace each other.

    Li Chongge’s biological clock woke him up at seven in the morning on the dot, only to find that Qin Yuanging had broken free of his embrace sometime and moved to the edge of the bed, sleeping soundly with one hand sticking out of the blanket and hanging off the edge of the bed.

    Li Chongge leaned over and carefully tucked the slightly cold arm back into the blanket, using his palm to warm it little by little from the forearm down until he grasped Qin Yuanging’s fingers. Only then did he stop.

    Li Chongge felt the two rings pressed tightly together.

    Qin Yuanging moved groggily, and immediately woke up when he realized there was someone next to him.

    His back was warm, and so was his chest.

    “It’s early, sleep a little longer.”

    Qin Yuanging turned over, wrapped his arms around Li Chongge’s firm and muscular waist, and buried his face in his neck.

    “I heard from Zhang Zhaolin that we’re going hiking this morning. We need to go have breakfast early.”

    Since it was a group activity, Qin Yuanging would generally participate actively unless he had physical reasons not to. He generally wouldn’t spoil the fun.

    Seeing that he didn’t seem energetic, Li Chongge suggested, “I’ll have breakfast brought to the room for you. You can sleep a little longer.”

    “No need, let’s go together.”

    Qin Yuanging didn’t want to lie alone in the empty bed.

    “But I need to go to another room first.”

    Otherwise, they would be seen wearing matching pajamas and sleeping in the same room, which would inevitably make people think too much.

    But in reality, if the time wasn’t right, Li Chongge would want everyone around him to know about his relationship with Qin Yuanging.

    Qin Yuanging finally belatedly realized what he meant and immediately sat up.

    “Right, you have to go quickly. Remember to close the door quietly.”

    Li Chongge was pushed by Qin Yuanging and got out of bed as he was told, but stood by the bed, hesitant to speak. Why did he feel like he was having an affair with Qin Yuanging?

    “What’s wrong? Go wash up first, and I’ll come over later to get the clothes I’m going to wear today.”

    “Okay, you can come over in fifteen minutes.”

    Although the two of them didn’t understand what the point of this futile attempt to conceal things was, but… oh well, let’s just treat it as a kind of foreplay for now.

    As soon as Li Chongge left, Zhang Zhaolin sent Qin Yuanging a message reminding him to get up early and asking him if he wanted to have breakfast now. He would have the hotel staff deliver it directly to the room.

    Qin Yuanging quickly replied, saying that he needed a breakfast.

    He was really tired from the tossing and turning in the early hours of the morning, and Qin Yuanging was attacked by hunger the moment he opened his eyes.

    Zhang Zhaolin: “Is Mr. Li awake? I’ll have breakfast sent over together.”

    Qin Yuanging: “Yes, remember to make it light. He doesn’t like greasy food.”

    The two messages were sent one after the other in less than ten seconds, which meant that Qin Yuanging didn’t even ask Li Chongge before replying.

    Zhang Zhaolin: “You guys slept in the same room last night.”

    Zhang Zhaolin had always been very perceptive, and he was no less so in discerning his friend’s love life.

    This wasn’t a question but a statement.

    Zhang Zhaolin: “Do you need me to find someone to clean up your room now?”

    Zhang Zhaolin: “Don’t worry, the people I find are tight-lipped.”

    Qin Yuanging looked at the pile of messages that Zhang Zhaolin had sent and felt a little embarrassed and amused.

    “No need, don’t worry about it. He and I are both this old, not reckless youngsters.”

    Actually, it was mainly Li Chongge who was rational, but that didn’t stop Qin Yuanging from boasting about himself.

    Zhang Zhaolin: “That’s right, you guys probably didn’t prepare anything, do you need it? I have a lot.”

    Qin Yuanging: “Get lost!”
