Chapter 51: I Will Accompany You

Exiting the beverage shop, the atmosphere of bustling life in the evening wind had faded a bit, carrying the biting chill unique to deep winter.

Lu Zhiyan’s fingertips were frozen ice-cold. He quietly leaned closer, tucking his hand into the pocket of Shen Yu’s coat, pressing against his warm palm to slowly warm it up. Shen Yu allowed him to lean in, gently gripping his hand tightly inside the pocket. The two walked side-by-side toward the direction of the bus stop, their footsteps as brisk as if stepping on the wind.

But after walking only a few steps, Lu Zhiyan suddenly paused. With sparkling eyes, he turned his head to look at Shen Yu, even the white breath he exhaled looking soft and mushy:

“A’Yu, let’s go sleep at my place.”

Shen Yu’s footsteps paused, his fingertips subconsciously tightening a bit, a trace of unease flashing in his eyes:

“I… didn’t bring out the gifts for your parents, it’s not appropriate to visit like this.”

He had long since prepared dried seafood and health supplements, originally intending to formally visit this weekend when the two elders were resting at home. Going empty-handed at this moment made him feel it was impolite.

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyan laughed out loud. He reached out and squeezed the back of his hand, his tone certain:

“Don’t worry, it’s no problem. It’s almost midnight, my parents have long been sound asleep. Tomorrow morning they still have to rush to work. By the time we wake up, they will have long been gone, we won’t run into them at all. Even if we do, it’s fine. You are their godson, what’s wrong with going back to your own home to stay?”

“But…”

“Oh, come on, Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

Looking at his appearance of curving his brows and eyes to act coquettishly, Shen Yu ultimately couldn’t out-stubborn him. A gentle smile rippled in the depths of his eyes, his tone entirely full of doting softness:

“Okay.”

The last bus of the late night slowly drove up. The carriage was empty, with only a scattered few people returning late sitting inside. After getting on the bus, the two found a window seat in the back row to sit down. Outside the window, the streetlights swept backward one by one, blurring out hazy light.

Lu Zhiyan cast a glance at the passenger dozing with his head down in the front row. Quietly taking cover behind the seatback, he cautiously hooked onto the tip of Shen Yu’s pinky finger.

Shen Yu quietly tightened the force of his fingertips. He didn’t turn his head back, his gaze gently floating toward the flowing night scenery outside the window. Lu Zhiyan stared at his deep side profile outlined by the streetlight, his heart softening into an absolute mess. He couldn’t resist wanting to lean in and give him a kiss, but considering there were other people in the carriage, he could only forcefully hold it back, his fingertips gently caressing his palm, feeling that warm touch.

Not long after, the bus swayed and arrived at the stop. The two got off the bus with light hands and feet, walking home along the familiar alley.

The sound-activated lights in the stairwell lit up following their footsteps, then slowly extinguished. Along the way, it was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing remained.

When pushing open the door to the house, the room was pitch black, with only a bit of faint light shining in through the gaps in the living room curtains.

Lu Zhiyan signaled Shen Yu to lighten his footsteps. Sure enough, he heard Father Lu’s even snoring coming from the master bedroom; he was sleeping soundly. He turned around and made a funny face at Shen Yu, the depths of his eyes full of slyness. Then he held the person’s hand and sneaked into the bathroom with light hands and feet, dug out a spare disposable toothbrush from the cabinet, squeezed toothpaste onto it, and handed it to him.

After a simple wash, Lu Zhiyan pushed Shen Yu into his own room and backhandedly closed the door.

He first walked to the window and closed it. When he turned around, he saw Shen Yu standing by the bed, looking somewhat uneasily at that not-so-spacious single bed, and couldn’t help but laugh: “We’ll squeeze.” As he spoke, he took the lead and lay down on it, then reached out and gently patted the space beside him.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, but still lay down gently. The bed was indeed a bit squeezed; their arms were almost pressed together. Shen Yu rolled over, wanting to make more space for him, but Lu Zhiyan immediately tangled himself onto him like a koala. His entire person pressed against Shen Yu’s back, his chin resting in the crook of his neck. His lips deliberately rubbed and ground against his neck and side of his face seemingly inadvertently, carrying a bit of a coquettish meaning.

Shen Yu was ticklish, his shoulders shrinking slightly to dodge, but his back gently leaned a bit further into his embrace, without half a fraction of pushing away. Lu Zhiyan’s heart warmed, loving his unreserved tolerance and doting to the extreme.

From childhood to adulthood, Shen Yu had always been this gentle toward him. In the past, he only thought Shen Yu had a soft personality and didn’t know how to refuse. It wasn’t until he experienced a few transmigrations and watched from afar through the identity of another that he understood this intimacy and indulgence had only ever been given to him alone.

“A’Yu…”

Lu Zhiyan called him softly.

“Mhm?”

Shen Yu’s voice carried the hoarseness of having just washed up, so gentle it could be squeezed out water.

“A’Yu…”

“Hey, I’m here.”

“A’Yu…”

“Mhm? What’s wrong?”

After repeatedly calling three or four times, Shen Yu finally couldn’t help but turn his head with eyes full of confusion, the tip of his nose almost touching Lu Zhiyan’s cheek.

Looking at his clear eyes, Lu Zhiyan couldn’t help but burst into laughter with a “pfft,” fine, fragmented tears flashing deep in his eyes.

This name, he had once called out countless times in front of Shen Yu’s ice-cold tombstone. Every time, the only things that responded to him were the biting cold wind and dead-silent air. Now, able to hear such a real response, he felt the happiness in his heart was so full it was about to overflow.

“Nothing,” Lu Zhiyan reached out to brush away the fragmented hair from Shen Yu’s forehead, his voice as light as a sigh, “Go to sleep. Good night, A’Yu.” After speaking, he gently imprinted a kiss on Shen Yu’s soft lips and slowly closed his eyes.

In his dream, it seemed he had returned to that summer when they were seventeen. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] The sunlight was just right, the cicadas chirping noisily. He and Shen Yu wore clean blue-and-white school uniforms, walking side-by-side under the parasol trees. The air was entirely full of the ignorant palpitation of youth…

The next day, Shen Yu was awakened by a tingling sensation in his lower body. He opened his hazy eyes, looking somewhat dazedly at the minimalist ceiling light. The increasingly clear sounds of licking and suckling by his ear made his eyes widen violently. Looking down, he saw Lu Zhiyan, relying on the faint morning light shining in through the window, passionately licking, swallowing, and spitting his thickness.

Lu Zhiyan sensed his gaze. When he raised his eyes to look over, his clear light brown eyes revealed a moist softness, still wrapped in a trace of sparkling slyness. Under his gaze, he deliberately wore an expression of enjoyment and slowly performed a deep throat, provoking Shen Yu’s breath to hitch, almost unable to hold back a muffled sound.

“A’Yan…”

Lu Zhiyan felt that person’s broad palm warmly cover the side of his face, gently rubbing his auricle. A patch of soft scalding heat violently rippled from the bottom of his heart, almost overflowing. The sounds of sucking and licking from his mouth also grew increasingly louder with it, making the sound of water click and clack.

“A’Yan, be gentler, your parents…”

“They’ve already gone to work, it’s fine…”

Lu Zhiyan responded vaguely, slowly spitting out Shen Yu’s erect ferocity again, using his soft lips to meticulously kiss and caress the pink, tender, and sensitive top, “So delicious…” The warm breath between his lips and teeth gently sprayed onto it following the words he spat out, provoking Shen Yu to tremble all over.

He cautiously tightened the force between his hands. Holding the sides of Lu Zhiyan’s ears, he gently thrust, penetrating deeply into that warm, wet wrapping once again.

Lu Zhiyan cooperated with his movements, swallowing, spitting, and licking, continuously deepening the inhaling motion. After a few intense deep throats, Shen Yu’s hoarse voice, suppressing lust, gently came from above his head, “A’Yan, I’m almost at my limit… let me go…”

“A’Yu, cum in my mouth. I’m hungry, I want to eat.”

Lu Zhiyan spoke vaguely while holding that thickness. The saliva brought out from his mouth continuously moistened the searing hard thickness and the swollen sack below, “Cum, baby. Cum for me, cum for me, mmph!”

Before his voice fell, a burst of scalding hot, salty fishiness surged entirely into his throat, choking him until his eyes turned violently red, his throat involuntarily swallowing and contracting.

“Cough, cough!”

He spat out the still-trembling thickness, unable to stop coughing.

“I’m sorry, A’Yan, are you okay… Mmph!”

Shen Yu anxiously reached out wanting to check Lu Zhiyan’s condition, yet was impatiently pressed down by that person leaning over. With the love juices in his mouth, he engaged in an intense tongue kiss with him. The white, turbid fishy-sweet, mutton-like smell instantly spread in their oral cavities, hooking every cell in their bodies to tremble.

When their lips and teeth separated, there were still sticky silver threads pulling between them.

“A’Yu…”

Lu Zhiyan opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. His distinct-knuckled, beautiful hand slipped under the hem of Shen Yu’s clothes, traced past the beautiful, sexy contours of his abdominal muscles along his smooth, solid chest, and then rubbed onto his tight, powerful waistline, “The top is fed, the bottom hasn’t been fed yet… down there is also so hungry, wants it so badly…”

Shen Yu’s eyes visibly darkened. Holding Lu Zhiyan’s waist, he rolled over and pressed the person into the soft pillow, leaning down to begin kissing him gently, continuously using his hand to caress that person’s naked body wrapped in golden powder by the morning light.

Licking, kissing, and sucking until Lu Zhiyan’s two soft lips were already full, red, and swollen, revealing an enticing watery color. Only then was he willing to gently let him go. Then, bit by bit, along Lu Zhiyan’s bobbing Adam’s apple, neck, and collarbone all the way down, the warm, soft tip of his tongue repeatedly circled around his belly button a few times, taking a few deep sucks before reluctantly continuing to explore downwards. Taking that person’s clean, beautiful erection into his mouth, he began to continuously lick, tease, and caress it.

Lu Zhiyan stretched out his slender arms, his fingers thrusting into Shen Yu’s soft hair, gently rubbing. His eyes were entirely filled with the mist of passion, his lips gently calling his name.

“A’Yu… mmph… A’Yu… ah…”

Shen Yu raised his eyes and cast a glance at him. After a few rapid deep throats, he gently spat out that person’s erection, dropping a soft kiss on the pink, tender top. Then he pulled over another pillow and padded it under Lu Zhiyan’s waist, gently lifting his buttocks, and began to alternately bite, lick, and kiss his full, perky butt cheeks. His large hands also occasionally coordinated, giving a few moderate slaps, tossing the originally fair skin of his buttocks until it gradually dyed an increasingly obvious, enticing pink.

“Hah ah! Mmph… A’Yu, feels good…”

Shen Yu flipped the person over to lie on his stomach again. His handsome face buried deep into the already wet crack between Lu Zhiyan’s butt cheeks, continuously licking, teasing, and caressing. Darting in and out deeply and shallowly with the tip of his tongue, coordinating with the palm’s kneading movements on the butt cheeks, he provoked Lu Zhiyan to continuously pant heavily, the dryness and heat within his body rising higher and higher.

“A’Yu, enough, come in quickly, fill me up quickly, I want it so badly!”

Hearing this, Shen Yu quickly stood up. Grabbing his own hard, scalding heat, he slowly slid it along Lu Zhiyan’s butt crack a few times, then rapidly slapped his lightly trembling, contracting enticing entrance a few times, before finally thrusting inside following Lu Zhiyan’s impatient urging.

The instant spirit and flesh united, both of them let out a satisfied muffled groan at the same time. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Shen Yu began to slowly thrust. He leaned down, pinched Lu Zhiyan’s chin, turned his head, and passionately tongue-kissed him. Lu Zhiyan actively responded to his kiss, his lower body also beginning to continuously twist to coordinate with Shen Yu’s thrusting movements.

“Ah… baby, A’Yu… mmph…”

“Mhm, I’m here…”

Shen Yu licked his already reddened auricle, his searing hot panting spraying onto his sensitive skin, provoking the bottom of his heart to continuously tremble scaldingly.

Lu Zhiyan raised his eyes to look at Shen Yu’s deep black eyes. Seeing the wild desire revealed within, he simply loved it to death, “Baby, use a bit more force, use a bit more force to fuck me… Mmph!”

Before his voice fell, he received the deep ramming he desired. The corners of his mouth couldn’t stop rising, his body thrust until it continuously trembled, his butt cheeks rammed until they made “smack smack” sounds.

“A’Yu, ah! Baby! So good! Ah!”

While bearing the intense ramming, he turned his head and looked back, staring with burning gaze at that person’s deep eyes, which were already dyed with red streaks due to the surging tide of passion, continuously letting out even more sticky, enticing moans of love, “Ah! So good! Baby fuck me! Fuck me! Ah!”

The wanton cries, one after another, hooked the searing heat of Shen Yu inside his body to become even harder and more searing, like a red-hot branding iron embedding deeply into the depths of his scalding, trembling soul…

A room full of tender romance…

The surging tide of passion ultimately wrapped around the two of them and sent them to the ultimate peak…

When the pleasure faded, they continuously panted heavily, embracing and kissing lingeringly. Then, affectionately caressing and licking each other’s young naked bodies, which were already dyed with crystal-clear sweat, relying on the warm morning light shining in through the window, they dazedly fell into hazy, soft, and warm dreams once again.

When Shen Yu opened his eyes again, the space beside him was already empty. The bedroom door was left ajar, and movements from the kitchen could faintly be heard.

He got up and walked to the living room, only to see Lu Zhiyan tying an apron and busying himself in front of the stove. The pot was emitting curling steam, and the aroma blew against his face.

“Awake?”

Lu Zhiyan turned his head and smiled at him, “Hungry? Eat a little something casually first to pad your stomach, I’ll take you downstairs to eat a big meal at noon.”

Shen Yu walked over wanting to help, but was gently pushed away by Lu Zhiyan:

“Don’t get your hands dirty, I’ll cook this meal. You’ve always taken care of me in the past, I haven’t properly cooked a meal for you yet. I only learned this tomato and egg noodle from my mom last month, thinking to specifically make it for you to eat when you came back.”

Very quickly, two bowls of steaming hot noodles were brought to the table. The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes wrapped in the fresh aroma of eggs made one’s index finger twitch with appetite just by looking at it.

Lu Zhiyan rubbed his hands together a bit nervously:

“My noodle-rolling skills are too poor, the taste might be very average, just make do and eat it.”

Shen Yu picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. The depths of his eyes instantly lit up with fine, fragmented light. He ate the bowl of noodles exceptionally heartily, even drinking more than half of the broth, “It’s very delicious, even more fragrant than what I make.”

“Nonsense, the food you cook is much more delicious. I just love eating the food you cook. Mushroom soup, twice-cooked pork, they’re all top-notch!”

“Is that so?”

Hearing this, Shen Yu raised his head and smiled at Lu Zhiyan, “Then I’ll cook delicious food for you every day in the future.”

Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, his mouth stuffed bulging full:

“When we have money in the future, we’ll hire an auntie to cook, why would we need you to go into the kitchen. But that twice-cooked pork you make is truly delicious. My favorite food to eat in this lifetime is the twice-cooked pork you make!”

Looking at his appearance of licking his lips, Shen Yu’s heart softened into an absolute mess, “I thought your favorite to eat was the braised pork bones your dad makes.”

“Shh! Don’t tell him. My dad will get jealous.”

Lu Zhiyan smiled gently at him, a trace of sly light flashing in his eyes. He then trembled his eyelashes slightly and recalled softly:

“Remember back in high school, after the weekend when we returned to school, you would always secretly use a thermos to bring twice-cooked pork for me, and then we would hide in the dorm with the door locked to eat it. It was so fragrant! I could polish off several big steamed buns in one breath!”

Hearing this, Shen Yu laughed. He put down his chopsticks and looked at him:

“Then I’ll make twice-cooked pork for you to eat at noon, okay? And boil some mushroom soup you love drinking.”

Lu Zhiyan’s eyes instantly lit up like stars, nodding forcefully:

“Okay!”

After the two finished eating the noodles and tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, they went to the nearby wet market together.

In the past, Lu Zhiyan was a total workaholic, always disdaining trivial matters like buying groceries and cooking. He hadn’t even held a kitchen knife much. That bowl of tomato and egg noodles was something he forced himself to learn only for Shen Yu’s sake, and it was already considered the pinnacle of his current culinary skills.

Following Shen Yu shuttling through the bustling market atmosphere at this moment, watching that person skillfully pick vegetables and mushrooms, haggling with the meat stall boss with a natural and familiar tone, Lu Zhiyan’s heart felt warm and toasty. He only felt that his A’Yu looked good no matter how he looked at him, virtuous enough to make him full of joy, loving him to death.

Returning home, Shen Yu tied on an apron and walked into the kitchen. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Lu Zhiyan leaned against the doorframe, watching his busy back figure, the love in his eyes almost overflowing.

Shen Yu was stared at by him until his entire body felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but turn his head and ask:

“Is there something on me?”

Lu Zhiyan immediately walked over seriously, stared at him for a few seconds, and raised his hand with feigned surprise:

“Oh my, what is this?”

His fingertips gently traced across his shoulder, yet in the next second, he quickly kissed his face, his tone earnest:

“Nothing, just feeling how can you be this handsome.”

Shen Yu’s face flushed completely red with a “whoosh”. He pushed him somewhat embarrassedly, turning around to continue busying himself. Lu Zhiyan, however, hugged his waist from behind like a rascal, his chin resting in the crook of his neck, murmuring in a low voice, “What are you afraid of, there’s no one at home, what’s wrong with a kiss.”

Shen Yu couldn’t out-stubborn him, so he could only allow him to hug him, yet the movements under his hands didn’t stop, continuing to stir-fry the dishes in the wok.

For lunch, the twice-cooked pork was bright in color and rich in aroma, the braised pork ribs were slightly charred and flavorful, the stir-fried seasonal vegetables were refreshing and cut the greasiness, and the mushroom soup was fresh, fragrant, and palatable. Lu Zhiyan devoured his food ravenously, polishing off three large steamed buns instantly, stuffing his belly until it was round, like a bulging little rubber ball.

When Shen Yu finished tidying up the bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen, Lu Zhiyan immediately came up. Rubbing his belly, he pulled him and walked outside:

“Let’s go, accompany me to digest the food. It’s all your fault for cooking so deliciously, making me eat so much.”

Shen Yu didn’t argue with him either, merely looking at him with eyes full of doting, allowing him to lead him to walk along the moat beside their home.

The afternoon sunlight cast mottled light and shadows through the leaves. There was hardly anyone by the river. The two walked side-by-side, their footsteps kept very slow. Lu Zhiyan’s hand was quietly hidden behind his back, his fingertips occasionally hooking Shen Yu’s pinky finger, as if playing a secret game.

“A’Yu.”

“Mhm?”

“This holiday, I plan to preview the content for next semester in advance.”

Lu Zhiyan looked at the flagstone road beneath his feet, his voice light and slow, “When I study it next semester, I can treat it as a review. By then, I can free up energy to prepare for the direct doctoral courses.”

Shen Yu turned his head to look at him, the depths of his eyes carrying a gentle smile, and said softly:

“Then I will accompany you, hanging out in the library every day.”

“Okay.”

Lu Zhiyan raised his head to look at him. Sunlight fell on his face, outlining gentle contours. The two smiled at each other. The gentleness in the depths of their eyes quietly spread in the afternoon breeze, silent and lingeringly affectionate.
