After the initial stiffness, Chi Hanqing quickly relaxed his body and opened his mouth slightly to respond to every one of Zhou Fan’s movements. They shared gentle suction and tender licking that eventually gave way to a deeper exploration. Their heated breaths intertwined like a soft web to gradually envelop him.
Before long, Chi Hanqing was lying on the bed with every breath filled with the scent of Zhou Fan. He felt a deep sense of affection and longing, and within the gaze and actions of Zhou Fan, he felt truly cherished and loved. At this moment, both his body and mind were open and defenseless. Faced with such overwhelming love, he had completely surrendered. There was nothing left but happiness and satisfaction.
After a long kiss, Zhou Fan pulled back slightly only for Chi Hanqing to hook his arms around the neck of the other boy. Chi Hanqing whispered in a very soft voice that he liked Zhou Fan. Zhou Fan curled his lips and noted that he liked the other boy too.
Chi Hanqing offered a smile. He reached up and pulled open his pajamas, and only then did Zhou Fan realize that the buttons had never been fastened. The boy’s body was slender and his skin was smooth and fair to the point of appearing almost translucent under the light. Zhou Fan felt a sudden surge of heat rush downward and his breathing grew heavy. He lifted his gaze to meet the eyes of Chi Hanqing.
Chi Hanqing whispered that he was willing and told the other boy to come here after sensing his hesitation. Zhou Fan stared into the eyes of Chi Hanqing for a long moment before letting out a soft laugh. He reached out but instead of touching the skin, he pulled the open lapels of the pajamas back together.
Zhou Fan noted that the boy was a fool. Chi Hanqing knit his brows slightly because he did not understand why Zhou Fan would call him that or why he was being rejected.
Zhou Fan noted he was happy that the boy was willing to give himself but asked if he had thought about it. He mentioned it was a first for both of them and they were not prepared with the necessary things. He asked if the boy knew how much it would hurt if they actually did it.
Chi Hanqing replied that he had looked those things up. He told Zhou Fan to go ahead because he was not afraid of pain.
Zhou Fan asked what would happen if his parents wanted to take them and Miaomiao somewhere tomorrow. He asked if the boy was sure they would not notice. Zhou Fan laughed and pinched the earlobe of the boy while noting that although his parents approved of the relationship, they could not take it too far in case they were discovered.
Chi Hanqing was caught in the logic and asked what they should do since Zhou Fan said he wanted to go further. Zhou Fan nodded and moved his hand to the waist of the boy while noting he just wanted to touch and kiss him. He leaned down to kiss the lips of Chi Hanqing again then let his long fingers rest on the elastic waistband of the pajama pants as he mentioned he wanted to feel the boy.
Chi Hanqing let out a low and soft cry. Zhou Fan let out a light laugh and suggested they help each other out.
The Morning After
Chi Hanqing rarely did this for himself because he almost never felt the presence of desire under constant pressure and restraint. Since becoming an adult, he had only experienced it a few times in dreams.
The palm of Zhou Fan was slightly rough, large, and warm with skillful fingers. He seemed to understand the body of Chi Hanqing deeply and always managed to coax the exact sounds he wanted from those thin lips.
By the time it was over, Chi Hanqing had no strength left for stray thoughts. He leaned into the arms of his lover while panting with his lips swollen from the kissing. Zhou Fan went to the bathroom and grabbed a warm towel to clean them both then turned off the light. He held Chi Hanqing close and pulled the blanket over them while telling him to sleep. He noted they still had two days of vacation left as his fingers brushed through the hair of the other boy.
Chi Hanqing was exhausted with his body feeling pleasantly heavy and relaxed. He gave a soft response and quickly fell into a deep sleep. This was likely the first time in years he had slept so peacefully.
Zhou Fan was the first to wake the next morning. He yawned and looked down to see Chi Hanqing still buried in his chest and sleeping soundly with only the top of his dark head visible. Zhou Fan could not help but smile. They were holding each other so tightly that getting up would inevitably wake the other. Zhou Fan simply adjusted his posture slightly and closed his eyes to rest while holding the boy.
The curtains were not fully closed and left a narrow gap. A few rays of clear morning light slipped into the room and fell diagonally across the warm wooden floor. Outside, the world was beginning to wake up with birdsong, the wind, and the faint sounds of cars passing below. The autumn breeze rustled the leaves like a sandy whisper. It all felt very distant and served as a gentle background for this quiet moment.
The air was filled with the unique fragrance that belonged to Chi Hanqing. Zhou Fan closed his eyes and unconsciously tightened his hold. He could feel the warm breath, steady heartbeat, and the slight rise and fall of the chest of the boy. Everything was held tightly in his arms as if possessed by him. The whole world seemed to pause. Zhou Fan silently called him his little master.
Eventually, Chi Hanqing began to stir. Zhou Fan noticed but remained still with his eyes closed because he decided to play a little prank on his clumsy lover. He felt Chi Hanqing move in his arms then felt the friction of hair against his arm as the boy lifted his head. After a long silence with no further movement, Zhou Fan grew impatient and wanted to see if the boy had fallen back asleep.
Just as he was about to open his eyes, he felt something soft on his lips. Zhou Fan tried to endure it but finally could not help it. He opened his eyes and grabbed the waist of the boy. Chi Hanqing was startled because he did not expect the other boy to be faking sleep.
Zhou Fan laughed and called him a bad boy for sneaking a kiss as the first thing he did upon waking. After the initial surprise, Chi Hanqing regained his composure and pinched the arm of Zhou Fan. Once Zhou Fan hissed in pain, the boy asked with reddened ears what was wrong with kissing his boyfriend.
Zhou Fan noted that the boy was learning to talk back. He planted a firm kiss on the neck of Chi Hanqing before letting go and hopping out of bed to tell him to wash up and eat.
Family Plans
In the living room, the father was setting the table with breakfast bought from downstairs. He looked surprised to see the two of them come out of the room and asked why they were up so early. Zhou Fan casually noted that being early to bed and early to rise was good for the body.
His father noted he thought they would be up all night and added that he meant playing games. Zhou Fan noted he was helpless with his father and asked what else they would be doing. He took the hand of Chi Hanqing and told him to ignore his dad because he likes to act crazy.
Chi Hanqing felt both embarrassed and amused as he sat down at the table. Before long, the mother emerged from the bedroom holding Miaomiao and yawning. She expressed a similar level of surprise. Zhou Fan muttered that she and his father were a perfect match.
The mother noted that two people sleeping in the same bed could not turn into different types. She sat down and took a big gulp of soy milk then gave some milk to Miaomiao. She noted it was good they were up and told them to pack their things because they were all going to East Fast Amusement Park. She added it just opened and she had coupons.
Miaomiao caught the keyword and shouted excitedly about the amusement park. Zhou Fan asked about the park. The father explained they were going to let the boys sleep and take the other three so they would have private space. He pushed a spring roll toward Chi Hanqing and noted that since they were up, they might as well all go. He added that if they felt the family was in the way, they could split up once they arrived.
Zhou Fan did not mind either way and asked what the other boy thought. Calling him treasure in private was sweet, but doing it in front of elders made Chi Hanqing very shy. He stepped hard on the foot of Zhou Fan then smiled and nodded while noting he had never been to an amusement park before.
The four members of the Zhou family simultaneously looked at him with shock. The mother was the first to react and raised her hand while stating they were going to have a blast today. Miaomiao followed by raising her hand and shouting. The father and Zhou Fan followed suit. Finally, with a warm smile and despite his shyness, Chi Hanqing joined in and said they should have a blast.
