The tenderness between the two of them would surface from time to time. However, Wanan always remembered that their beginning was rough and unfair...
Wanan lay on the boat, dipping his palm into the water. After Sheng Jiu rowed the boat to the middle of the lake, he also lay down beside Wanan. Staring at Wanan's fair and delicate side profile, he was slightly dazed.
Perhaps because the moonlight was so wonderful tonight, the atmosphere between them was filled with romance. Sheng Jiu couldn't help but talk about the past.
"The night I first saw you, the moon was as round as it is tonight. During the day, I asked the emperor brother about the treasure he brought back from his southern tour, but I was scolded by him. I found it a bit strange. So at night, unable to suppress my curiosity, I went to the emperor brother's bedroom..."
Sheng Jiu slowly closed his eyes in the moonlight. His expression seemed to be one of reminiscence. After a long while, he let out a soft sigh.
"It's no exaggeration to say that I was instantly smitten. Just one glance..."
Wanan stopped stirring the lake water with his palm. His eyelashes fluttered twice, and he turned his head to look at Sheng Jiu. The dim moonlight outlined the shape of Sheng Jiu's features. Wanan suddenly saw a hint of tenderness in his expression.
Wanan's heart seemed to skip a beat. He reached out his palm to cover his chest, and his light-colored eyes were full of confusion.
Sheng Jiu seemed to be uncontrollably drawn closer to him. He reached out and stroked the corner of Wanan's mouth, looking at his face almost obsessively. He said in a low voice, "Wanan, please me one more time."
Wanan's pupils flickered. Looking into Sheng Jiu's pure black pupils, he always felt that there seemed to be a soul - sucking black hole in those eyes. Wanan came to his senses just before he was about to lose his mind and turned his head away in a hurry.
The light in Sheng Jiu's eyes dimmed visibly. However, the hand stroking the corner of Wanan's mouth didn't retract. Instead, with this movement, he turned Wanan's chin towards him.
Their eyes met unexpectedly. Before he kissed Wanan, Sheng Jiu whispered softly, "Wanan, try to like me."
Wanan stared blankly as he felt the warmth on his lips. This seemed to be the first time the two of them were so calm while kissing. Wanan listened to the pounding of his heart in his chest, as if some emotion was about to burst out.
Wanan's drifting mood came to an abrupt end when Sheng Jiu's hand slipped into his clothes. His eyes suddenly widened, and he reached down with his hand to try to stop him.
But when he looked up, he saw Sheng Jiu's blood - red eyes. A look of fear flashed across Wanan's face. He trembled and said, "No... Sheng Jiu, we can't do this here..."
He had almost forgotten just now that Sheng Jiu had been drinking tonight. He still couldn't forget the crazy things Sheng Jiu had done after getting drunk in the past. Why had he just gone along with him today?
Sheng Jiu held his fingers in his hand and squeezed them from time to time. His voice became hoarse and deep: "There's no one else here. No one will see. Wanan, give yourself to me one more time..."
Wanan struggled to pull his hand out of Sheng Jiu's, but after struggling for a long time, there was no change. Instead, the distance between them seemed to be even closer.
Sheng Jiu's other hand was on Wanan's waist. The two of them were lying face - to - face on the boat on their sides. This open - air situation made Wanan blush.
But the man opposite seemed to have no intention of stopping at all. Wanan gently pushed his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Sheng Jiu... You don't mean to do... that kind of thing here, do you?"
Sheng Jiu drooped his lazy eyelids and asked matter - of - factly, "What's wrong with that? Don't you think this place is amazing? And no one can see us here. Why can't we do it when it's just the two of us?"
Wanan realized that he wasn't joking. His expression instantly turned panicked, and he quickly shook his head and refused, "Sheng Jiu... No... You can't do this... You can't treat me like this. Please."
There was a crazy look in Sheng Jiu's eyes that Wanan had never seen before, but his face remained calm. Wanan pushed hard on his shoulders, but Sheng Jiu seemed to have lost his mind.
In the end, he simply rolled over and pressed himself on top of Wanan.
"Wanan, I've said before. Don't even think about leaving me. I'm telling you one last time..."
Wanan blinked nervously twice and said, "I'm not... Mmm..."
But before he could finish a complete sentence, his lips were blocked. All of Sheng Jiu's rationality seemed to disappear at this moment. The kiss on his lips was crazy and intense.
Wanan was kissed so dizzy that he didn't even have time to react before his clothes were stripped off. His fingertips trembled as he stroked Sheng Jiu's lapel and said in a low voice, "... Sheng Jiu, don't do this. I'm begging you... Don't treat me like this, Sheng Jiu..."
As he spoke, tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes. But his pitiful appearance didn't arouse the other man's sympathy. Wanan sniffed twice and said, "Sheng Jiu, I'm cold..."
After hearing this, Sheng Jiu finally reacted, but he only paused for a moment and then continued. He said slowly, "You won't be cold if you move."
Wanan closed his eyes helplessly and desperately... How could he ever like such a man? How could he ever be attracted to such a man?
Sheng Jiu seemed to be stimulated by the outdoor environment and kept moving tirelessly, threatening him again and again.
"Wanan, if you dare to leave, I'll kill everyone related to this matter..."
"You can't leave me..."
"Absolutely not."
"Even if I die, I'll lock you by my side."
One threat after another drilled into his ears. The pale and bright moonlight gently swayed in his pupils. Wanan seemed to be numb as he slowly closed his eyes.
Tears of despair fell on the deck. Wanan's cheek was pressed against the cold wooden board, and the boat beneath him was rocking.
The unspeakable storm raged on.
Finally, at midnight, Sheng Jiu stopped. As if to verify that Wanan would be pregnant, he would always leave his semen inside after every time.
This time was no exception.
Wanan was tightly wrapped in the cloak he had worn when he came. Sheng Jiu carried him step by step back to the bedroom. After returning to the bedroom, Wanan still had to take off his clothes for Sheng Jiu to check.
To check if he had clamped his legs and if anything had leaked out...
Wanan's despair this night was even greater than before.
Because the moon was too bright tonight, in this lake, under this moonlight, he had glimpsed the most shameful secret in his heart.
