Han Xiaogong really did sleep in Lin Chuan's room that night, waking up in Lin Chuan's bed the next morning, in the small space enclosed by his arms.

Every breath was filled with Lin Chuan's scent, filled with a sense of security.

Han Xiaogong closed his eyes again and slept for another hour.

When he woke up again, Lin Chuan was gently kissing the back of his neck. Han Xiaogong's hair was spread over Lin Chuan's arm, between them. Lin Chuan brushed aside his hair and gently bit his white, slender neck.

Han Xiaogong didn't turn around, smiling indulgently as he said, "The hair can cover it, go ahead and bite."

After he said this, Lin Chuan played with his neck for quite a while, making Han Xiaogong ticklish. Later, he shrank his neck and said, "The middle of the neck can be covered, but if you bite towards the sides it can't be covered. That's enough."

Lin Chuan's hand that was around him moved up, pointing to a spot on the side of his neck and said, "Too late, this spot was marked last night."

"I know," Han Xiaogong tilted his neck, "You seem to really like my neck."

"Yes." Lin Chuan chuckled lowly, the vibration in his chest could be felt on Han Xiaogong's back. He liked it very much. He grabbed Lin Chuan's hand, his long fingers intertwining with Lin Chuan's. Lin Chuan said, "You don't know how alluring you are when your hair is tangled around your neck."

Han Xiaogong still smiled, saying, "Have you been coveting it for a long time?"

Lin Chuan touched his neck again, making a sound of agreement.

They came out of the same room, no one knew, not even Dongba saw.

But Dongba's gaze when looking at them was still very strange, his face even a bit red.

Han Xiaogong smiled and asked, "What's wrong, little cutie? Why do you look like you've caught us in the act?"

Dongba looked at him, then at Lin Chuan, saying softly, "You two slept, slept together last night."

Han Xiaogong asked him, "Did you go to his room this morning?"

Dongba's face reddened again, saying, "I, I saw last night."

"You, you saw and you're blushing about what?" Han Xiaogong imitated his stutter, teasing him.

Dongba was mocked by him, turned his face away angrily, not paying attention to them anymore.

Once this kind of thing happens once, it happens again. They had both been infatuated with each other for a long time, this piece of meat had been on their minds for half a year.

Now, although they couldn't fully consume it, they could at least take a nibble. Han Xiaogong had pondered this matter, he really couldn't dominate Lin Chuan, this man didn't have a single trait of being dominated, that feeling wasn't right. From this perspective, they really weren't suitable.

But he really liked him.

Han Xiaogong had long been enchanted here, he had lived here for more than half a year, his soul was tied to this place. Lin Chuan made him feel secure, a security he had never experienced before.

Living with him, it seemed like every day was easy. Lin Chuan was the type who, even if difficult things were coming tomorrow, could quickly make life continue to be easy.

So one day in his room, on his bed, when Han Xiaogong pulled out condoms and lube from under the pillow and tossed them to Lin Chuan, he didn't hesitate.

He really liked him, really wanted to stay here.

At that time, they were both already aroused. Lin Chuan's eyes were dark, Han Xiaogong's hair was loose, the visual impact was strong, making him look a bit bewitching, truly beautiful. He bared his slender white neck, half-smiling as he reached out to embrace the other, laughing in Lin Chuan's ear as he said—

"It's my first time doing this, Chuan-ge, be gentle with me."

Chuan-ge indeed knew how to be gentle.

When a man wants to be good to you, he can spoil you to the heavens. When he wants to give you a sense of security, there's not a day you don't feel secure.

Han Xiaogong was so experienced, he had been in plenty of relationships, but this was the first time he had been so emotionally invested, seeking stability and longevity.

This was the first place he had landed after Si Tu left, unexpectedly stumbling into a warm nest.

Since Han Xiaogong was truly emotionally invested, he was doing his utmost to make the other person like him, to develop real feelings. When he was like this, he was more genuine than anyone.

This kind of person always seemed to be hanging in the sky, intangible and opaque, but in fact, it was just that he hadn't met someone who truly moved his heart.

"Welcome."

On a certain day in a certain year, a pair of tall handsome men pushed open the door and walked in. Dongba warmly greeted the two.

The one with darker skin asked, "Hi, do you have any rooms available?"

Dongba asked, "Did you make a reservation?"

The man smiled and shook his head.

His smile was so handsome that Dongba almost blushed. Dongba stuttered again, "Without a reservation, I need to, to ask."

"Ask who?" the handsome man asked him.

Dongba said, "Ask our boss."

"Lin Chuan?" He was still smiling.

Dongba blinked.

The other handsome man with very fair skin also spoke up, saying, "Go ask Han Xiaogong."

Dongba blinked again, asking, "Looks like you're... acquaintances!"

The fair-skinned handsome man raised an eyebrow, asking the other, "Are we familiar?"

That one smiled, teasing Dongba, "We should be quite familiar indeed. Why don't you call and ask?"

Dongba hesitantly dialed the number. Han Xiaogong's voice sounded like he had just woken up, asking what was wrong.

"Two handsome men are here, they seem very familiar with you!" Dongba said.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then he asked, "How tall are they?"

Dongba glanced at the two and said, "Over 185 cm... at least."

Han Xiaogong paused, then laughed, "...Damn."

Dongba asked, "How should I arrange for these two handsome men?"

Han Xiaogong laughed and said, "Chase them out, our inn can't accommodate them anyway."

Dongba looked at the two men, one of whom was smiling, while the other said, "We'll burn down your inn."

Han Xiaogong laughed on the phone and said, "Wait for me."

The End
