Those two fair butt cheeks in front of him were Huai En’s favorite part of Xiao Bao. They were white, tender, firm, and full, feeling smooth and soft to the touch, yet resilient. Unfortunately, now they were red and swollen along the cleft, and Xiao Bao must be rubbing against them with every movement, making it impressive that he hadn’t complained earlier.ZwkbTByHdMANWBORODyvldRPvVhlCY

Despite lying there bare-bottomed, he couldn’t resist flirting, his satisfied look like a cat that had just caught a fish. Huai En didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.ZihYYiGXMUmEyNjwPdkJFjlhrsUVqm

Realizing this wasn’t good, Xiao Bao hastily tried to teach Huai En to restrain his urges, speaking rapidly, “Huai En, don’t act indecently in broad daylight! Even though we’re together now, we can’t just think about this all the time. We need to develop real feelings. Let’s take it slow—ouch, ouch, ouch! Gentle, be gentle!”GmgHKYEJHohvCAgmfjfiUnFxLvgMFA

Xiao Bao’s butt hole was also swollen, turning bright red from its usual pink, looking a bit larger and slightly open, almost like a little mouth. It was hard for Huai En not to feel aroused by the sight.ApmxCwopqLQsYHzqKfvrPKMSEfpBSh

Actually, now that they had reconciled, spending an intimate night together seemed wonderful to Xiao Bao. He dreamed of kissing, hugging, and touching Huai En as he pleased. If he could be the top, that would be even better. Even if he wasn’t, making Huai En happy was worth it. Given how many times they had done it and their current relationship, refusing seemed silly. After all, he wasn’t a girl with a monthly excuse for being unavailable.uePmBaRqSFpHhiGndKfFkpbQFgXMky

His main concern now was that if they got intimate, he wouldn’t be able to continue their journey. He constantly thought about his father and just wanted to reach Yuxia as soon as possible.vsIgkgZCXzJJUnuiEvJqTWqbpTLBLq

Xiao Bao shifted closer, reaching out to hug Huai En tightly, and rubbed his head against Huai En’s shoulder, whining slightly, “Baby, I know you’re being considerate of me, and I’m really touched. When we get to Yuxia and get the medicine for my father, let’s have a three-day, three-night battle, okay?”VJhdSPiJpjNhBtorxeFYbkSpirkzvs

Before he could finish, Xiao Bao leaned in and captured his lips, kissing him gently but intensely. His nimble tongue slipped into Huai En’s mouth, intertwining with his. Initially stunned, Huai En gradually relaxed, wrapping his arms around Xiao Bao’s waist and closing his eyes, melting into the kiss.NIeFsAqqIFmYIPRVwVhimNjaVBdLHz

The dim orange sun at the horizon seemed to sit at the end of the straight road. Golden light spread across the rolling hills, lush forests, arid mounds, and the flat official road, casting a warm, intimate glow. The evening breeze rustled through the leaves, occasionally accompanied by the flapping of birds’ wings. Two sturdy horses walked steadily, nuzzling each other. Under a tree, two figures were lost in an embrace, their lips and teeth intertwined, forgetting the world around them.CfKyKiipNKxFRPyWlKjyoOZCEeyHEE

Due to the delay, they arrived at the next town late at night. Xiao Bao had to lie on the horse’s back for the journey, an awkward but effective position. With few people around, he wasn’t embarrassed, and the slow pace of the horse almost lulled him to sleep.hcXwVHykMpGzasOQaahopdIqdpXCWJ
