Miraculously, Huai En didn’t continue to torment him. After holding the overexcited Xiao Bao, who was so overjoyed that he could barely speak clearly, for a while, he pulled him up to continue their journey.lnjWFWPztakAlEumjeILkAJHnxOaEl

All along the way, Xiao Bao acted like a shy newlywed bride, bashfully stealing glances at Huai En with his red, swollen eyes that looked like walnuts. When they left the restaurant, countless people seemed to be staring at them. It was unclear whether they were startled by Xiao Bao’s desperate, life-or-death cries from earlier. However, Xiao Bao’s eyes now saw no one else. He was wholly immersed in immense happiness and satisfaction, thinking about Huai En’s words from just a moment ago. His lips couldn’t help but curl upward into a smile.cyQaqBIHdHxnmJJSqlaUobdeHjwEAb

He now really wanted to find a secluded place to laugh heartily toward the sky, bow to the heavens, and thank all the gods for opening their eyes. Huai En had finally opened his heart to him. What had once been utter despair, as if he’d been pushed to the edge of a cliff, with no hope left for him and Huai En, had suddenly turned into a moment of clarity, where the clouds parted, and light broke through the darkness.QCLFOJmndAzzPDBtmlpDNJivsaIqBK

Huai En said he would like him! To Huai En, at least, Xiao Bao was special. If anyone in the world could capture Huai En’s heart, Xiao Bao believed he had the best chance—no, the only one with the chance at present.woqBqiFbsHqmmetTqUwNSlrgpQcnUJ

No matter how others looked at Huai En, Xiao Bao no longer got angry now. Look all you want! Even if you look until you’re blind, he’s still mine, Young Master Jin’s man! Hahaha! He wanted to stick a label on Huai En’s forehead: “Property of Young Master Jin. Don’t even think about it!”QnFbtJxIomKCQxJgNdGBvfFtAYHyoz

From Xiao Bao’s elated and smug expression, how could Huai En not know how happy he was? He could once again see those curved brows, bright eyes, pearly white teeth, and the look of utter infatuation directed at him. Huai En’s mood was exceptionally pleasant as well, surrounded by a feeling he had never experienced before—an indescribable sense of bliss.zRTFfEczIWTlUQWXmnFMQOkoBNoUFf

However, being stared at by Xiao Bao all the way was quite embarrassing. Huai En was still a bit shocked he had managed to say those words. Thinking back, he felt embarrassed. With Xiao Bao looking at him so blatantly, he didn’t dare to meet Xiao Bao’s eyes.KyhCQFuHhUqyUkXiRmwRHrkIMmpWcH

Huai En had long been unable to stand his frivolous words, which always seemed designed to provoke his annoyance. Even now, though the words were irritating, he couldn’t muster any anger. Instead, the heat rose to his face, making him feel as if he were burning from head to toe. He turned his head away, refusing to respond.OAHBuWLYgZUGJOZtQhsvduHywXyWxE

Xiao Bao’s hands were softer and more delicate than those of many girls. Now, as he touched the back of Huai En’s hand, he couldn’t resist gently caressing it. The tender friction between their skin was so enticing, the contact felt like it was on fire, making both of them feel hot and restless.GMOHAWDnNDZlzERMVNnqfcpDWvggYA

This also made Xiao Bao blush. In the past, he was always at ease when teasing girls, making them shy without any trouble. But a single look from Huai En made his heart race. Compared to Huai En, those past experiences were insignificant. Now, he understood what it meant to be truly moved, what true feelings were, what everlasting love meant. As long as he could be with Huai En, he would never covet other beauties again and would never take a concubine. The idea of being surrounded by beauties paled in comparison to the charm of Huai En’s every smile and frown.vrRBrejFoGohtUKksYRSgKDPQMREPy

Huai En was amused by his complaint. He pulled Xiao Bao’s hand closer and whispered in his ear, “Unlike you, I don’t need to let everyone know what I’m like. Isn’t it only you who knows how I am at night… like a wolf?”rLdidYohAXsOZUaabZqeyUtZVeIFSo

Xiao Bao felt his heart might jump out of his chest. In terms of shamelessness, Huai En was no match for him, but he had his reservations. Teasing the beautiful Huai En was indeed the ultimate pleasure, but if this topic continued, he feared he would really end up serving the wolf tonight.NMwlpijlojADsxkwyelNSNwNaFofVO

The two of them almost didn’t stop to rest. Whenever they did, Xiao Bao would always snuggle up to Huai En, either to get close or steal a kiss, each time making Huai En blush. If he pushed too far, Huai En would toss Xiao Bao back onto his horse and continue their journey, eventually stopping taking their breaks altogether.hIwhMIFwSXujfIvmVlKwbveenPTlQx

By the time they reached their destination, Xiao Bao’s lower body was almost numb. He had never spent so much time on horseback, and after Huai En’s midday antics, which hadn’t hurt much at the time, the hours of bouncing and rubbing against the saddle left him sore and swollen. Each jolt of the horse made him want to jump up.TTSjbhMrxrKHalmQtRswsbzdAXBfoc

Moreover, having just gotten closer to Huai En, he didn’t want Huai En to look down on him now. So, he kept shifting positions: at first, he tried to keep his legs clamped around the horse’s belly, lifting his butt slightly. When his legs got too tired, he tried shifting his weight from one butt cheek to the other, but that didn’t help much either. Several times, he nearly fell off the horse. Then, he tried holding the reins with one hand and supporting himself on the horse’s back with the other, lifting his butt a bit. This position was even more dangerous; every uneven patch on the road nearly threw him off.OklxjtZDSEyEUUQbibqsChEqBvWPma

Huai En was a bit annoyed with him. Every time they took a break, Xiao Bao would touch and kiss him, making it hard for him to hold back. He couldn’t just take Xiao Bao right there on the spot. And then there were the flirtatious, silly, and sweet nothings that made him feel both embarrassed and awkward. He had never been this intimate with anyone and couldn’t get used to it. Xiao Bao’s constant affectionate gestures overwhelmed him. He felt that Xiao Bao was deliberately teasing him, so he decided to ignore him, fearing he might really lose control and spend the next two days doing nothing but only fuck him.vIBkYEAiQJdFXOhpkEVbTVQeZBjmTg

“Hey… hey… what are you doing? This is the main road,” Xiao Bao protested. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn’t bear the idea of being bare-bottomed on a road where people might pass by at any moment.rzNyjbiaQPEhXpJamlVNmncTTEWLDK

Xiao Bao still resisted, flailing his arms and legs. “I don’t want to take off my pants here. I’m fine; let’s just keep going.” Now, lying across someone’s lap like a three-year-old about to have his pants pulled down, what kind of image could he possibly have left in Huai En’s eyes?dsDlAoJjQuDvCtxHDcKdligZIsIuiC

Deep down, Xiao Bao always thought that in their relationship, he should be the husband and Huai En the wife, since he looked more manly. Even though repeated defeats had nearly crushed his sense of manly pride, his manhood still functioned, and he hoped one day to show Huai En his prowess in bed. So, he deeply resented the current situation.SrKdgiGOjMVhpQvydnpJtFJbTBrrJN
