Xie Junyi’s proud, cool eyes drooped slightly. His long, well-defined fingers undid the buttons, and without giving him a chance to object, he took off his shirt, revealing sexy, tempting abs.
“What the hell? What are you doing?” Chi Anyu really couldn’t stay calm this time. Sure, they were both grown men, so it wasn’t that big of a deal, but this wasn’t a public bathhouse!
“Xie Junyi! What are you meddling for when I’m taking a bath?”
Xie Junyi tugged at the corner of his lips, then took off his pants.
Chi Anyu glanced between his legs and instantly his whole face turned red.
“Get out of here right now! I don’t need your help taking a bath!”
Xie Junyi looked completely calm, his tone equally unruffled. “You’re always kissing me for fun anyway, so what’s the harm in taking a bath together?”
Chi Anyu was instantly left speechless. Did he want to kiss him? It was all because the plot forced him to!
As he finished speaking, Xie Junyi had already stepped one foot into the bathtub.
Chi Anyu suddenly felt that Xie Junyi was acting a little strange, as if he had been triggered by something. After all, before this, whatever he said, the other man would always do it.
Xie Junyi was still wearing boxer briefs, but in Chi Anyu’s eyes, that was basically no different from wearing nothing at all.
Once inside the bathtub, Xie Junyi sat with his legs apart behind Chi Anyu, wrapping him completely in his arms, and then obediently began washing Chi Anyu’s hair and scrubbing his back.
Chi Anyu went from resisting and cursing at the start to gradually enjoying it.
Forget it. He’d just take it as having someone serve him. Besides, Xie Junyi’s strength while washing him was really comfortable.
Xie Junyi pressed his chest against Chi Anyu’s back and said in a hoarse voice, “Does it feel good when I wash you? I can make you even cleaner.”
After all, that was his real goal.
Chi Anyu didn’t think much of it. He closed his eyes, rested the back of his head on Xie Junyi’s shoulder, and let him do as he pleased.
Xie Junyi’s breathing suddenly grew heavy, and he didn’t dare use too much force.
Chi Anyu was so comfortable he almost dozed off with his eyes closed. Even though something was pressing against him there, it didn’t really matter.
After they left the bathroom, Chi Anyu remembered the plot task requirement and immediately returned to his usual carefree attitude. In a low voice, he snapped, “Who told you to barge into the bathroom?”
Xie Junyi looked at him, this person who turned his face faster than anyone else, but he didn’t argue. He only answered, “Mm, my fault.”
“Since you know you were wrong, then your punishment is to kneel in front of my bed all night tonight!” Chi Anyu said proudly, secretly delighted. Perfect, now he had an excuse, and the plot task was complete.
Chi Anyu usually liked to walk barefoot, so a thick carpet was laid around the bed.
Xie Junyi knelt on the carpet with both knees, his body tense, his eyes hiding deep undercurrents.
System 07 came online: 『What are you two doing in the bathroom? Messing around for so long?』
He had watched Xie Junyi go into the bathroom and never come out.
Chi Anyu found it hard to explain, but he still asked the system, “System, I keep feeling like this Xie Junyi has some weird fetish. Just now in the bathroom, he kept wanting to touch my butt.”
System 07: “…”
『That’s your imagination. They’re both men, and he has one too. Why would he touch your butt?』
That was true, but Chi Anyu still felt like something was off.
“Even such a difficult plot task was still completed by me somehow.” Chi Anyu started showing off.
『That was only because the villain boss was too obedient in the early stages, living under someone else’s roof in the Chi Family. Wait until he goes back to the Xie Family later, then you can worry about what comes next.』
Chi Anyu snorted, then rolled his eyes at the system. “Can you not say such cynical things when I’m happy?”
System 07 muted itself and went offline.
Chi Anyu got into bed to prepare for sleep. He secretly glanced at Xie Junyi, who was still kneeling straight. Gradually, he started getting sleepy and closed his eyes.
Midnight.
Xie Junyi confirmed that Chi Anyu was asleep, then got up and left the room to go downstairs.
He took the ointment from the coffee table, then turned around and prepared to go back upstairs.
This scene was completely seen by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark.
Bai Jin stood at the corner, watching Xie Junyi carry something in his hand and enter Chi Anyu’s bedroom.
Xie Junyi took off his shoes and stepped barefoot on the floor. His movements were very light. He unscrewed the ointment, dabbed a little on his fingertip, and with the light from the bedside lamp, lifted the thin blanket and began applying medicine to Chi Anyu.
The night air was cool.
Chi Anyu’s calf twitched slightly. Xie Junyi then covered him with the blanket again, kissed his forehead, finished tidying up, and then knelt back down on the carpet.
The next day, when he woke up, the first thing Chi Anyu saw was Xie Junyi’s side profile lying against the edge of the bed. His long eyelashes rested on his eyelids, giving him a rather beautiful look.
“Why is he so obedient? Did he really kneel all night?” Chi Anyu bit his lower lip, feeling a little guilty. After all, he was only doing it to get through the plot, and he hadn’t meant to make things so difficult for Xie Junyi.
System 07, after coming online, was very good at twisting the knife. It snorted, 『Host, think about the later plot where he’ll kill you, and you won’t feel guilty anymore.』
Chi Anyu: “…” Thanks a lot!
Chi Anyu still woke him up.
Xie Junyi’s eyelashes trembled weakly, his eyes full of red veins, looking like he hadn’t slept well. Even though he had been kneeling on the carpet all night, his knees were red too.
“There’s nothing much to do this morning. You don’t need to make breakfast. Sleep a while in my bed.” Chi Anyu rubbed his nose and turned his head away as he said it.
Xie Junyi was probably really exhausted. He didn’t make a sound, just lifted the blanket and got into bed. The bed still held Chi Anyu’s lingering warmth. He hugged the pillow and fell asleep like that.
Chi Anyu yawned and went downstairs. He had made plans with Qi You today, and he would need to go to the Qi Family later.
Xie Junyi slept until after ten before waking up. When he woke, the room was already empty.
After washing up, he opened the bedroom door. The first-floor living room was also very quiet, as if nobody was home. He took out his phone and sent Chi Anyu a message, then slowly went downstairs.
“Xie Junyi!” Bai Jin suddenly shouted from the top of the stairs.
Xie Junyi heard him, but he didn’t bother responding at all. He ignored him and kept walking downstairs.
Seeing how cold the other man was, Bai Jin went all out and raised his voice. “I know your sexual orientation is men. You like Chi Anyu, don’t you?”
As soon as the words fell, the entire villa seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Xie Junyi’s pupils trembled slightly. His steps down the stairs suddenly stopped. He turned his head, his thin eyelids slanting as he cast him an icy glance.
Seeing that reaction, Bai Jin knew he had guessed right, and a smug smile spread across his lips. “You must be very curious how I know, right?
Because we’re the same kind, but Chi Anyu isn’t.”
He had long wondered why this Xie Junyi always obeyed Chi Anyu’s every word and never resisted. Under normal circumstances, if someone were being humiliated and ordered around, there would already be hatred in their eyes, but Xie Junyi didn’t have that.
Not only that, but his eyes toward Chi Anyu were full of indulgence. Only Chi Anyu, that straight guy, couldn’t see it.
