This time, Xu Jingzhe had Zhang Man arrange a seven-seater business van so that Liang Yu would be able to lie down in the back. However, Liang Yu didn’t seem tired. He took off his sunglasses, and, aside from the hug he just gave Xu Jingzhe, he didn’t show much emotion.

Zhu Xiaoxiao snuck a few glances through the rearview mirror and found that Liang Yu was just sitting by Xu Jingzhe, holding both of his hands in one of his own, occasionally turning his head to look at him.

“Go home and take a nap first.” Xu Jingzhe, on the other hand, was a lot more talkative than usual. “How about a bath? You can use the bathtub today. The housekeeper just cleaned it this afternoon.”

Liang Yu smiled and agreed, “Okay.”

His eyes were fixed on Xu Jingzhe’s face. Then, he suddenly leaned in, touching Xu Jingzhe’s eyelashes, and asked, “Why are your eyes so bright? Are you wearing colored contacts?”

“…” Xu Jingzhe was speechless for a moment and said, “Of course not.”

Xu Jingzhe had been in such a rush to leave that he was pretty much bare-faced. After Liang Yu’s comment, he started to worry. He pulled out his phone to check his face, afraid that something might look off.

“Stop looking.” Liang Yu took his hand back into his palm and held it tight, not letting go. He reassured, “You look pretty as fuck right now.”

It took the driver some time to shake off the media following them, so, by the time they arrived at the villa, it was already midnight. Zhu Xiaoxiao saw the two of them out of the van and even made sure to ask Xu Jingzhe, “Do you want to take the next few days off? You should rest some more.”

Xu Jingzhe nodded and said, “You’ve all worked hard these past few days.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao, flattered, immediately responded, “Not at all! You and Mr. Liang have had it much harder.”

Xu Jingzhe saw his assistant off and returned to the villa to find that Liang Yu had already gone upstairs. After thinking for a moment, he took off his jacket and followed him up. He found Liang Yu in the bathroom. The water was running in the bathtub. Liang Yu was brushing his teeth in front of the mirror.

Xu Jingzhe watched him for a while and then asked, “Did you shave?”

Liang Yu brushed his teeth very casually, moving the toothbrush around in his mouth without much thought. He clearly wasn’t paying any attention to his image, yet he still managed to look as devilishly handsome as ever.

Mumbling through the toothpaste, Liang Yu said, “I shaved at the police station.” Leaning over the sink, he spat out the toothpaste and rinsed his mouth with a cup of water. He then wiped his lips with a towel and waved to Xu Jingzhe, “Come here.”

Xu Jingzhe obediently walked over.

Liang Yu wrapped his arms around Xu Jingzhe’s waist and asked, “Smell anything?”

Xu Jingzhe sniffed lightly and said, teasingly, “Strawberry flavor?”

In the next moment, Liang Yu dipped his head and kissed him. Xu Jingzhe was kissed into a daze, thinking to himself, “Just how much toothpaste did Liang Yu use for the mintiness to be this strong?”

The bathtub filled quickly. After kissing for a while, Liang Yu released Xu Jingzhe and, with a confidence perhaps cultivated from his modeling days, stripped off his clothes without any hesitation. He then stepped into the bathtub, one hand pulling Xu Jingzhe along with him.

Xu Jingzhe could only sit on the edge of the bathtub, placing bubble bombs into the water.

Liang Yu didn’t really like the feel of having too many bubbles in the bath. He felt that he had a good body, one that should be seen through crystal clear water.

“What do you not like about it?” He pointed at himself. “Tell me.”

Xu Jingzhe couldn’t bear it anymore and splashed him with water. “Give it a rest. I’ll scrub your back.”

The bubbles gradually began to increase. Xu Jingzhe had Liang Yu turn his back towards him and began scrubbing him back with an exfoliating glove. He had to admit Liang Yu’s shoulder lines were the best Xu Jingzhe had ever seen. His back was straight, and his shoulder blades were like the two pages of an open book. After scrubbing for a while, Xu Jingzhe found himself distracted, wondering how one could achieve Liang Yu’s level of fitness. It was truly enviable.

Liang Yu, perhaps finding Xu Jingzhe’s scrubbing too weak, soon stopped him. He wet his hair and pushed it back, exposing his forehead. His eyes were fixed on Xu Jingzhe.

He said, “You’ve got some guts, talking about your private medical records with the media. Aren’t you afraid that someone will dig up the truth?”

Xu Jingzhe met his gaze and knew that Liang Yu wasn’t actually angry. After a moment of thought, he replied earnestly, “To be honest, it doesn’t really matter even if they did. I’m fine now, aren’t I? It’s not like I can’t get it up.”

Liang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “Only for me, though.”

Xu Jingzhe didn’t refute this. Looking at Liang Yu, he calmly said, “I really didn’t think much about it. Even at its worst, I didn’t really think … this was that serious of a problem. Sex isn’t that important to me. Maybe it did bother me sometimes. After all, I’m still a man.” He laughed at himself before falling silent again. After a while, he continued, “I’m not afraid of being talked about. I have you. If you think I’m normal, then I’m normal.”

As he spoke, Liang Yu’s eyes never moved away from his face. He looked at him as if he were looking at a cloud, a newly bloomed flower, or a setting sun—gentle and beautiful.

He said, “You might not know this, but my mother, Liang Shu, was trafficked into the mountains, eventually being sold to Zhang Futun.”

“It’s as if she owed god a debt in her past life.” Liang Yu laughed, his smile laced with bitterness. “My mother didn’t have parents and was raised by her grandmother. The year she got into college, she was kidnapped on the train.”

Liang Yu paused for a long time before continuing, “The old lady selling oranges was the same age as her grandmother. She felt sorry for her and helped her carry the oranges. She never made it back.”

It was at this point that Xu Jingzhe couldn’t hold back anymore. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around Liang Yu.

Leaning into his arms, Liang Yu relaxed, his tone sounding as if he were talking about someone else’s family. “My mother actually had a chance to run away after giving birth to me. She got lucky. You know why? Because her second child was a boy.” Liang Yu sneered. “A son was good. A son was what they wanted. The clan felt that her womb had finally lived up to their expectations. Zhang Futun felt that this son had given him face. He believed that my mother had accepted her fate, so he stopped beating her and locking her up. This is what gave her the opportunity to escape with my sister.”

Liang Yu sighed and finally said, “My mother was too foolish. She still couldn’t bring herself to leave me behind.”

“Why do you think she couldn’t just leave me? I was only born because Zhang Futun raped her. Besides, I was a boy. She could have just left me there and run away on her own, and I would have still survived. She should never have stayed behind for me. She ended up getting locked to that bed for so many years and almost died while giving birth to Yanzi.”

“Do you know when the first time I felt genuinely happy was?” Liang Yu suddenly asked. Without waiting for Xu Jingzhe’s answer, he said, mostly to himself, “It was when I took Liang Chen to get her abortion. I was genuinely happy that my sister wouldn’t have to give birth to that thing. She’s completely cut off from that place. She’ll never have any ties to it ever again in her life.”

Liang Yu fell silent for a long time before repeating, “I was really, really happy. I’d never been that happy before in my life.”

“Over the years, whenever I felt even the slightest moment of peace with myself, whenever I let go of my anger, I almost couldn’t go on. I couldn’t get them out of that place. I couldn’t kill Zhang Futun and Niu Bing.”

Liang Yu looked at Xu Jingzhe. His eyelids were truly thin and delicate, crimson like the finely glazed edge of a porcelain bowl rimmed with cinnabar.

He said, “Look at me. This is the kind of person I am. I’ve told my sister that I have no future. This is how I’ll be for the rest of my life. I won’t let myself off, and I don’t want to change.”

“Xu Jingzhe.” Liang Yu suddenly called out his name and asked, “Do you know what this means?”

Xu Jingzhe opened his mouth slightly before softly saying, “I know.”

Liang Yu laughed again. “I don’t think you know anything.” He said, “You’re like a piece of candy.”

“I’ve never tasted anything as sweet as you in my entire life,” Liang Yu said. “You really are a piece of candy.”

When he said the word “candy”, it wasn’t his usual tone of voice. It was as if, at that moment, Xu Jingzhe was no longer a person but, rather, an actual piece of candy.

Once the bathtub was full of foam, Liang Yu stood up from the half-filled tub. He was very tall and brought a lot of water out with him as he stepped out. Xu Jingzhe brought over a large bath towel and wrapped it around him, slowly drying him off bit by bit. When he reached Liang Yu’s waist, Xu Jingzhe found that his dick was already hard.

No matter the length, thickness, size, or color, Xu Jingzhe simply could not compare. In fact, he’d never even faced another man’s sex so directly before.

He didn’t continue downward. It was as if he was deliberately avoiding it, pretending not to mind. However, Liang Yu didn’t let him off the hook. “Did you know that, when I was modeling, I had to groom my pubes?”

Xu Jingzhe paused. He was feeling a little warm from the steam in the bathroom, absentmindedly replying, “I-is that so?”

“I have a lot of hair down there, so I often had to take care of it myself.” Liang Yu looked down at Xu Jingzhe. “I was a young guy in my twenties. A lot of the time, I’d get hard while shaving.”

Xu Jingzhe didn’t know what to say. He then heard Liang Yu’s amused voice. “When I first saw you down there, I was surprised by how little hair you had.”

Xu Jingzhe finally couldn’t take it anymore. His cheeks, whether from the heat or something else, had turned a cherry blossom pink. He softly protested, “It’s not that bad…”

Liang Yu stared at him for a while. Then, he quietly ordered, “Take off your pants.”

“…” Xu Jingzhe hesitated for a moment before unbuttoning his pants, letting them slide down to his ankles.

Liang Yu’s gaze moved to the ground. He suddenly squatted down, one hand holding Xu Jingzhe’s knee and the other gripping Xu Jingzhe’s ankle, and slowly peeled off the pant leg. His eyes then trailed back up. Xu Jingzhe’s underwear was a basic white pair, very clean, just like the person himself.

“Have you gotten hard these past few days?” Liang Yu asked him.

Xu Jingzhe couldn’t tell if he was serious or just trying to make fun of him. The expression on his face wasn’t particularly pleased. He replied, “Don’t you already know the answer to that?”

Liang Yu laughed. His finger slipped around the edge of Xu Jingzhe’s underwear, slowly pulling them down. Xu Jingzhe really didn’t have much pubic hair, and even the color of his member was rather pale, lying softly against his scrotum, looking somewhat forlorn.

“I’ll help you wash.” Liang Yu palmed at Xu Jingzhe, seeming very earnest. “Get in the bathtub.”

Xu Jingzhe probably never imagined that, when Liang Yu said “wash”, he meant washing inside and out, including the receiving end. Xu Jingzhe had mentally prepared for this, but fully accepting it was still a big adjustment.

“It’s almost over.” Xu Jingzhe continued kneeling in the bathtub, both of his hands on the edge of the tub.

Liang Yu was right behind him, and, from his perspective, the only thing he could see was the tips of Xu Jingzhe’s bright red ears. Xu Jingzhe was probably feeling embarrassed, his thighs trembling slightly. It was only when the enema stimulated his prostate that Xu Jingzhe would let out a soft, muffled moan.

Liang Yu threw away the disposable enema and took off his gloves. Then, he turned on a hot shower and picked Xu Jingzhe up.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Liang Yu noticed that Xu Jingzhe refused to open his eyes, so he kissed his face, amused. “It’s for your health.”

Xu Jingzhe finally looked at him, a little moody. “I can do it by myself next time.”

Liang Yu: “Why do you want to do it by yourself? Isn’t it better if I help you get clean?”

His technique was very practiced, and his movements were quite gentle. From beginning to end, Xu Jingzhe never felt anything that could be described as “uncomfortable” or “painful”.

Liang Yu focused on Xu Jingzhe’s front again. He noticed that, during the enema, Xu Jingzhe wasn’t entirely unresponsive. He dick would get hard when his prostate was stimulated, but it seemed unable to stay that way for long and would soon soften again.

There was still a lot of lube covering Xu Jingzhe’s soft, round butt. The shower room in the villa was very large. Liang Yu pressed Xu Jingzhe up against the wall, kissing him fiercely as he kneaded the flesh of his ass, grinding their lower bodies together with an urgent rhythm.

Slowly, Xu Jingzhe began to feel it. His smattering of pubes, the darkening of his dick as the blood rushed into it, all of it stirred an uncontrollable excitement within Liang Yu.

Xu Jingzhe’s hole was incredibly soft after the enema. He didn’t have very much body hair there either. Liang Yu tore open a condom, putting it on himself before turning Xu Jingzhe over.

“Relax.” Liang Yu coaxed him. He was halfway in when Xu Jingzhe felt a little bit of pain.

Liang Yu stopped, turning Xu Jingzhe’s chin towards him. The two kissed for a while, and Xu Jingzhe, pressing his lips against Liang Yu’s, urged, “Hurry up…”

Liang Yu reached down to stroke him and found that he was still hard. When Liang Yu was finally all the way in, Xu Jingzhe unexpectedly came straight away.

Liang Yu: “…”

Maintaining their position, Liang Yu used his waist to support Xu Jingzhe’s lower body, turning him to face him. Xu Jingzhe, however, refused to look at his face at all. He buried his head in Liang Yu’s shoulder and wrapped his arms tightly around his neck.

Liang Yu thrusted for a while, and he must have hit that spot again because Xu Jingzhe started growing hard once more.

In this moment, Liang Yu found himself smiling like a child, his chest vibrating with amusement. He didn’t even know what he was so pleased about. As he continued to thrust slowly, he watched Xu Jingzhe’s reaction below.

He wasn’t in any hurry to get off, his thrusts slow and teasing. Xu Jingzhe didn’t last very the second time either and quickly came again.

Xu Jingzhe finally couldn’t take it anymore and started to squirm slightly. Liang Yu stopped for a moment. One of his hands moved from Xu Jingzhe’s butt to his waist. Xu Jingzhe, being an actor, wasn’t thin and frail, even if he had to lose weight for a role. His waistline was long, covered with lean muscle, like a bow drawn taut.

“What do you want to do?” Liang Yu deliberately leaned into Xu Jingzhe’s ear and asked, “Do you need to pee?”

Xu Jingzhe trembled, his lower half showing signs of arousal once more. Liang Yu laughed again.

Ultimately, Xu Jingzhe gave in and said that he needed to use the bathroom, begging Liang Yu to pull out.

Needing to pee after an enema was pretty normal. You might not actually pee that much, but you’ll usually pee at least a little bit. Liang Yu didn’t make things difficult for him this time. He pulled out and changed the condom.

Xu Jingzhe’s legs shook as he stood in front of the toilet. He wanted to sit down to relieve himself, but Liang Yu disagreed.

He entered him again from behind.

“I’ll help you hold it.” Liang Yu fondled Xu Jingzhe’s dick as he thrusted. He could tell that Xu Jingzhe didn’t really need to pee. It was just that he’d come so many times he was on the verge of losing all control of his bladder.

Xu Jingzhe shook his head wildly. He had his hands braced against the wall, his penis erect. He was really worried that he might accidentally pee outside the toilet.

Liang Yu coaxed him, increasing the speed of his thrusts. He was hitting Xu Jingzhe’s sweet spot over and over again. Liang Yu was getting close as well, the corners of his eyes reddening with arousal. Xu Jingzhe turned around to kiss him. In the end, they both came at the same time.

After coming for the third time, Xu Jingzhe could hardly even stand, so Liang Yu simply picked him up, refilled the bathtub with water, and let him soak.

He then cleaned up around the toilet, throwing the condom filled with his come into the trash.

Xu Jingzhe still felt a vague sense of needing to relieve himself. Liang Yu washed his hands and returned to check his butt.

“You’ll get used to it after a few times.” Liang Yu’s tone was clearly very casual, but he was earnest in what he was saying. “Besides, it doesn’t matter if you lose control of yourself. I’ll help you clean it up.”
