Ch72 – Look, Ji Xinglan Still Loves Yan Qiu

Out of boredom, Lan Lan stayed in an empty shoebox on the shoe cabinet for the entire afternoon.
Its tail hung down the edge of the cabinet and it would occasionally look at the door, like a lonely old cat. 

But today, Yan Qiu returned too late.
When they came home, it was already past nine o’clock pm. 

 

 

When he pushed the door open, Yan Qiu didn’t even have the time to greet Lan Lan, who was still lying on the shoe cabinet, before he was picked up by Ji Xinglan.

He was already a grown man yet he was lifted into someone else’s arms.
Yan Qiu felt embarrassed, but Ji Xinglan was very strong.
He carried Yan Qiu as easily as picking up a chick.  

The world spun around as Yan Qiu found himself pinned to the couch.
He stared at the ceiling, as if he had already given up on life. 

 

“What are you doing?”

Yan Qiu tried to move away from Ji Xinglan while he wondered whether alphas had to go through ruts as well, and while he was at it, wondered whether Ji Xinglan was in rut every single day. 

Ji Xinglan cast a provocative glance at the kitten who was trying to win Yan Qiu’s favor before he cast a glance at the beauty who was pinned against the couch. 

 

He said shamelessly, “We’re going to play.”

He spoke boldly, but Yan Qiu hardly agreed to play with him.
He crawled up from the couch, wanting to run, but he was pinned against the couch again with just a simple press against his back. 

Yan Qiu felt a tingle in his ear.
Something gentle brushed against his ear.
Then, he heard Ji Xinglan ask him, “Didn’t you miss me after not seeing me for a day?”

 

Regardless, he sounded like he was acting cute.
When this military school student acted cute, Yan Qiu couldn’t resist this golden retriever. 

Yan Qiu felt as if their roles were reversed.
Ji Xinglan had become even more clingy than before, and when Yan Qiu was out of sight, Ji Xinglan lacked a sense of security. 

However, when he remembered how Ji Xinglan ended up this way, Yan Qiu felt his heart ache.
His heart instantly went out to him and his gaze softened.
He couldn’t help but reach out and soothe his fur. 

It was too difficult.
Yan Qiu didn’t know how to make up for the love he failed to provide Ji Xinglan over the years. 

At this notion, he felt alarmed: he had no idea why Ji Xinglan liked him so much.
He felt that what Ji Xinglan gave him compared to what he owed was like a bottomless pit.
He could never make it up.
Thus, he could only be better to him and acquiesce in bed.

Fortunately, Yan Qiu returned and he had a lifetime’s worth of time to slowly make it up to Ji Xinglan. 

‘Then, I’ll just let him be happy.
It’s nothing much.’ Yan Qiu thought while enduring the pain that was to come. 

“…You’re willing to spend time catching ghosts in toilets instead of thinking about your husband?” Ji Xinglan grumbled into his ear. 

Your husband.  

These words caused Yan Qiu’s ears to turn red.
He could only lower his head and grasp Ji Xinglan’s shoulders while sensing the pressure of their bodies pressed together. 

Yan Qiu’s eyes turned a little red, and he whispered quickly, “I missed you.”

 

Was there a need for Ji Xinglan to even mention it? Yan Qiu didn’t know how many times he had opened the terminal’s dialogue box, but in the end, he didn’t type anything into it. 

While he was struggling just now, he accidentally kicked away his slippers.
When he stepped on a spot without a carpet, a chill crept into his body through his nerves.
He shuddered, as if he was stabbed by needles, and he instinctively wrapped his calves around Ji Xinglan’s legs.

When he saw the shock in Ji Xinglan’s eyes and noticed he was positioned, he knew that things were bad.

Ji Xinglan slowly pursed his lips, and as if he could no longer hold himself back, he used his long fingers to push Yan Qiu’s black sweater further up, revealing his thin, beautiful lines. 

The marks left from fooling around yesterday were still present on Yan Qiu’s skin.
His eyes were as bright as a deer’s, and he seemed to be a little scared. 

Ji Xinglan looked at the marks, they were of varying shades of colors.
He used his fingers to caress the red marks, and there was affection in his voice.
“Does it hurt?”

Not really, but Yan Qiu found them embarrassing.
Yan Qiu shyly turned away and stubbornly uttered, “Duh.” 

Ji Xinglan blinked, and Yan Qiu could clearly see his long eyelashes. 

“Did I go overboard?” he asked. 

Yan Qiu had just turned his face away, but Ji Xinglan turned his face back.
He could only say angrily, “It’s good that you know.”

“Does it hurt? I was too much of a bastard, sorry.
Why don’t you bite me?” As Ji Xinglan spoke, he suddenly removed his tie and calmly unbuttoned his coat.  

Ji Xinglan wore his uniform today, and when Yan Qiu saw how the uniform covered his excellent figure, his mind started wandering.
He gulped and did not stop Ji Xinglan from removing his coat. 

Soon after, Ji Xinglan removed his coat and casually tossed it to the side.
Then, he unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt.

Yan Qiu’s gaze trailed down his slightly opened collar.
His throat was fair, and his collarbone could be seen clearly.
He could also see the vague muscles that were covered under his shirt. 

His face and figure were both so gorgeous that he couldn’t peel his eyes away, and he wanted to touch him as well.  

Yan Qiu appeared calm on the outside, but he was hardly calm.
He snuck a few peeks at Ji Xinglan.
Once he felt that he had stared enough, he put on a show of pressing down Ji Xinglan’s hand. 

“It’s fine.
It doesn’t hurt, it just looks scary.
As long as you don’t torment me tonight, I’ll be fine in just a few days.”

 

The different colors of marks on Yan Qiu clearly showed that Ji Xinglan had added new ones before the old kiss marks even faded away completely. 

Yan Qiu had no idea whether he should laugh or cry about this.
He felt that the marks on his body had no chance to fade over the past few days.  

Ji Xinglan held his tie in his hand and bound Yan Qiu’s thin wrists together.
While he was doing this, he sighed and said, “Did you know that I’ve become a little perverted ever since I got to know you? Last time, when I was alone, I imagined so many ways to make you cry and beg for me.”

His words were shocking.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world? Yan Qiu was so terrified that he hunched his shoulders.
Then, he heard Ji Xinglan sigh again.
“But now, I can do it, and I just can’t bear to bully you.”

Yan Qiu felt embarrassed, but he still said something unexpected, “…Honestly, it’s not as if you can’t do it.”

The moment Yan Qiu said this, he was shocked as well.
He must have stayed too long with Ji Xinglan, to have actually said something so perverted.  

But slight surprise showed up in Ji Xinglan’s profound eyes, and he also saw excitement.
He actually gained the permission to do the bad things he never had the courage to do. 

To show that he was not to be taken advantage of, he wanted to add that he was fine with calling Ji Xinglan his husband, but it was already too late for Yan Qiu to change his words.
Ji Xinglan turned on the air-conditioner, and once the temperature became warm, he removed Yan Qiu’s pants with familiar ease. 

Over the past few days, Ji Xinglan had been touching his pants far more than Yan Qiu did.
Yan Qiu’s face turned red because of it. 

Yan Qiu’s knees were a little pink.
Ji Xinglan had him kneel on the couch and pushed up his sweater.
Then, he grabbed his chin and ordered him to open his mouth.
“Come.
Bite it for me.” 

Yan Qiu didn’t understand what he wanted to do, so he simply swallowed his embarrassment and bit the hem of his sweatshirt.
Immediately, his vision grew dark—he was blindfolded. 

It was dark in front of him.
He could only see a bit of light through the gaps of the cloth.
Yan Qiu’s calves trembled a little, because he did not know what Ji Xinglan wanted to do. 

He felt Ji Xinglan kiss him, and Yan Qiu could not help but tremble, making himself look a little too pure.
Ji Xinglan sensed that he was trembling, so he could only comfort him in resignation and say, “Don’t be scared.”

But when Yan Qiu remembered that Ji Xinglan could see him while he was naked and that he himself couldn’t see anything because he was blindfolded, the sense of embarrassment grew by leaps and bounds.  

Ji Xinglan kissed him gently and even pried open his teeth.
The gentle and comfortable kiss caused Yan Qiu’s tense muscles to finally relax.
The aversion in his heart disappeared by quite a bit, and now, he just felt a little embarrassed. 

“Ji Xinglan, are you done fooling around?”

Yan Qiu knelt on the couch obediently and felt a hand on the top of his head.
He gently pushed his head down a little and pried open his lips and teeth with a finger.
Then, he tempted Yan Qiu with a sweet but dangerous voice.
“Come, open your mouth.”

Yan Qiu could not see anything, and he was just acting based on his instincts and Ji Xinglan’s guidance.
He was in a very passive situation.
Basically, before his head even reacted to the situation, he was already led around by Ji Xinglan.  

Suddenly, he heard the sound of shutters, and in panic, he quickly pulled his blindfold down.

“You took pictures?” Yan Qiu’s face was abnormally red. 

 

“Don’t you want to see the picture I took?” Even after he did something bad, Ji Xinglan remained calm. 

Ji Xinglan turned the screen to him.
With just one glance, Yan Qiu saw the person on the screen.
The only thing covering his skin was a collar.  

It would have been even better for him to not wear anything instead of just a collar.
He had a piece of black cloth covering his eyes, and his hair hung down gently while he knelt on the couch obediently.
He held Ji Xinglan’s hem tightly, and he was using so much force that his fingertips were a little white. 

Forget about Ji Xinglan, even Yan Qiu himself felt his heart race in embarrassment when he saw this. 

Yan Qiu wanted to reach out to snatch the phone, but before he could grab it and delete the picture, Ji Xinglan had already put the phone away. 

Yan Qiu felt so embarrassed that he could fry an egg on his face, but he had no way of winning against Ji Xinglan, so he could only relent and say, “It’s fine if you’re the only one looking at it.
Don’t let anyone else see it.” 

Ji Xinglan kissed him and said, “There’s no way I will let others see it.”

Yan Qiu thought about it. ‘That’s right.
Ji Xinglan is a jealous person.
Forget about letting others see my private pictures, he won’t even let others look at me for long periods of time.’

The days grew colder in late autumn, and this week, it became even colder. 

The next day, after finishing lunch, Yan Qiu suddenly sneezed.  

While he rubbed his nose, he felt his skin. ‘Why do my sneezes sound cute now too? I really feel like I’ve turned from a tiger into a kitten.’

“Are you sick?” Ji Xinglan handed him a tissue paper and actually grumbled about the fact he was wearing too little clothes.
“Why are you wearing so little? Serves you right.”

Yan Qiu took over the tissue paper and gritted his teeth. 

This morning, he only wore a little more than usual when Ji Xinglan forced him to wear an additional sweatshirt.
He already did what Ji Xinglan asked him to, and he actually scoffed at him for wearing too little? Then, why did this bastard constantly ask him to move around in the room while naked? 

Ji Xinglan held his hand and slowly laced their fingers together.
Yan Qiu’s fingers were cold, while Ji Xinglan’s hand was warm. 

Nevertheless, he had something else on his mind.
He was only thinking about Bai Yuanyuan’s ghost story. 

Indeed, alphas had a lot of yang energy. 

Once he got out of the restaurant, Ji Xinglan led Yan Qiu in the direction of the classroom.
Yan Qiu looked at the forest ahead of them and asked warily, “What are we doing?” 

“I’m getting a warm patch for you.” Ji Xinglan knew that his mind went straight to the gutter, and he smiled in resignation.
He brought Yan Qiu into the supermarket. 

His face was devoid of expression, and he just watched coolly as Yan Qiu refused to let go of his hand and treated him as a warm stove.
“I’m buying a few heat packs for you, unless you’re thinking about holding my hand as well while we’re in class?”

 

Yan Qiu looked down.
He wanted to, but school disciplinary rules disallowed him from doing so.  (And they’re bullshit.)

They had free time after lunch, so there were a lot of students queuing up to buy things in the supermarket.
There were even a few who were eating instant noodles at a corner.  

Ji Xinglan held a heat pack and grasped Yan Qiu’s hand as they walked through the supermarket.
If an alpha held an omega’s hand in a place as densely packed as a supermarket, it was basically the same as him writing “Hi, this is my partner” on his face. 

Once they paid for the goods, Yan Qiu quickly brought Ji Xinglan out and stopped beside the entrance with the confession wall. 

And Yan Qiu felt a little jealous that his name was not on the confession wall.
“Look.”

Ji Xinglan said nothing else and tore a post-it.
He signed his name in cursive and wrote a few words elegantly before he stuck the post-it on the wall.  

Behind his name were three words—I love you. 

Yan Qiu felt embarrassed when his name was stuck on the confession wall, and he quickly pushed Ji Xinglan away from the crime scene. 

Yet when the bell for afternoon classes rang, Yan Qiu suddenly remembered a major problem. 

Ji Xinglan wrote Yan Qiu’s name on the post-it.  

‘Well, this is going to be troublesome!’

Yan Qiu was so shocked that he nearly jumped up in class.
He had to go back and retrieve the post-it. 

However, he couldn’t just run out in the middle of class before everyone’s eyes.
The more anxious he was for class to end, the slower time seemed to pass. 

Yan Qiu anxiously and repeatedly picked up his terminal to check the time, but before class ended, he received Lin Wei’s message first.  

‘…Why did Lin Wei suddenly send a message to me?

‘This is bad.
Lin Wei is one of the few people who got to know both of us in the past.
Did she manage to figure out something?’

Yan Qiu’s heart raced.
He picked up his terminal and quietly opened the picture she sent, and when he saw it, it was a picture of Ji Xinglan’s post-it.

[Look.
Ji Xinglan’s love for Yan Qiu hasn’t ended.
You should break up ASAP.]

Yan Qiu had no idea what he should say about that. 

 

Mogumoguchan: Yes, thank you for telling us something so obvious, Lin Wei.
Also, school disciplinary rules are bullsh*t.
You have any idea how STUPID they are in the east? In my school, we aren’t allowed to wear socks of any other color except white.
WHY does it matter to you what color socks I wear? And when your hair is to a certain length, you must tie it.
Again, WHY? It’s not as if the universe is going to explode if I don’t tie my hair, is it?! And those are just TWO of the stupidest rules, there are so many more that don’t make sense.
Sorry, rant over.
