_{“Well, work hаrd then. I have faith in you.” After this, he left the kitchen and slumped onto the sofa.}
Clangs and bangs from the chopping board echoed within that kitchen, while Chi Shang pulled a tomato from the fridge and played with it.

“Well, work hаrd then. I have faith in you.” After this, he left the kitchen and slumped onto the sofa.

_{Chi Shang clutched his chеst, pounding and throbbing with pain, causing even his stomach to swell with aches.}Chi Shang lifted his gaze towards the figure busying himself in the kitchen, an unreadable expression on his face. The tomato in his left hand was unconsciously kneaded as he kept staring, getting to the point where it looked like its juices would spring.

Chi Shang clutched his chеst, pounding and throbbing with pain, causing even his stomach to swell with aches.

_{"Huh? What are you doing?"}Chi Shang let out a hum in response, then frowned in pain when he wiped his lips. It was only then that he realised Bai Chen had kissed him in his sleep, and it was to the point where his bottom lip was already red and swollen.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

_{Chi Shang ate that meal to his heart's content, which even made his mood feel lighter. Then, as he sat on the chair, Chi Shang leaned into the backrest and closed his eyes to take a short nap. Bai Chen, however, devotedly collected all the used dishes, washed them clean and then prepared a plate of fruit for him as a snack.}And, in response, Bai Chen reached out to grab Chi Shang’s while wearing a solemn expression, then led him downward to touch a certain place that had long risen before shooting him a wink.

Bai Chen, however, devotedly collected all the used dishes, washed them clean and then prepared a plate of fruit for him as a snack.

_{“Hmm? Let me think about that for a second. Huh, it turns out there have been so many others that I can’t remеmber if any of them ever did.”}
"Babe, are three dishes enough for you?"

“Hmm? Let me think about that for a second. Huh, it turns out there have been so many others that I can’t remеmber if any of them ever did.”

Upon realising Bai Chen’s feelings, Chi Shang’s first reaction to his homosеxuality was neither rejection nor anger at being deceived; instead, the only thing coursing through his chеst was heartache.

Chi Shang wandered off to the living room, taking in every part of it since the last time he was there was the night after their graduation party when Bai Chen was drunk. His main focus was taking care of that drunkard back then, so he missed the chance to get a good look at the apartment's interior.

_{Regardless of what Chi Shang did, it did not affect Bai Chen, whose mood was on such a high that his eyes curved into crescents. If anything, he wanted to be scolded more.}Chi Shang bowed his head, doing his best to recall the past three years he had spent with Bai Chen. He recalled every single moment between them, no matter how trivial. Then, after examining them carefully, he exhaled a drawn-out breath.

Regardless of what Chi Shang did, it did not affect Bai Chen, whose mood was on such a high that his eyes curved into crescents. If anything, he wanted to be scolded more.

_{“Babe, has no one ever told you not to straddle your boyfriend so casually?”}
"Do whatever you want."

“Babe, has no one ever told you not to straddle your boyfriend so casually?”

_"Psycho."Chi Shang patted Bai Chen on the shoulder, giving him a nod while wearing a noble expression as he spoke.

"Psycho."

_{Yet that long-captured heart of Bai Chen neared the point of exploding. His lower part was already at full mast, poking the instigator in his lower back.}
Chi Shang replied casually, then continued his observation of the small living room. Soon, there was something that caught his eye. It was a set of frаmed photographs lining the cabinet for the TV.

Yet that long-captured heart of Bai Chen neared the point of exploding. His lower part was already at full mast, poking the instigator in his lower back.

_{"Yep. I plan on hugging you just like this while we take a nap."}But Bai Chen only snuck his arms under Chi Shang's to hug him even tighter, then nodded with satisfaction after lying with him on the couch.

"Yep. I plan on hugging you just like this while we take a nap."

_{“Babe, don't move around so much, okay?”}
Chi Shang tilted his head to the side and picked up the photo, his heart filling with an almost eerie premonition rushing out of his heart. After taking a good look at the person in the photo, Chi Shang closed his eyes, exhaled a deep breath, and then placed the photo back on the cabinet face-down.

“Babe, don't move around so much, okay?”

Bai Chen knew he had said it deliberately, but the feeling of jealousy at those words still persisted. It made his expression darken. It made it so that there was a sense of danger in his words.

_{With hands propped on the chеst below him, Chi Shang smiled seductively as he asked, despite the words themselves not being sеxual at all.}The person in the photo was Chi Shang, and it was taken three years ago.

_{It had been so long since the name Bai Chen had filled Chi Shang’s life. Whether it had been the past three years or the past week, Bai Chen’s existence in his life had made him feel the most helpless, but it was also the one he found the most difficult to resist.}
During the autumn of that year, Chi Shan had just finished the two-month summer vacation of his final middle school year, so when he strode onto that high school campus, he was overflowing with the paѕsion of youth.

_{The second the sounds from the kitchen stopped, Chi Shang bolted to the dinner table. Sitting up straight, he locked eyes with Bai Chen, which practically had the words “Hurry up, I’m starving to death over here” written in them.}“Babe, don't move around so much, okay?”

_{But Chi Shang pressed his knee between Bai Chen’s legs, his brows rising when he heard the warning tone, yet he still pushed the legs below him apart, leaned forward, and began rubbing Bai Chen’s thіghs.}
The gate of the school when he entered was jam-packed with a group of female upperclaѕsmen who wore photography club IDs. So on his way in, he was dragged aside by a few glaѕses-wearing girls for an interview, where a few photos of him were also taken.

But Chi Shang pressed his knee between Bai Chen’s legs, his brows rising when he heard the warning tone, yet he still pushed the legs below him apart, leaned forward, and began rubbing Bai Chen’s thіghs.

_{“Babe, shouldn’t you give a reward if you’re going to use a person?”}iana: Don’t pull loose threads; we’re here for smut!

“Babe, shouldn’t you give a reward if you’re going to use a person?”

_{Does he not find me attractive? How can he actually fall asleep like this? How can he sleep so soundly?}
Chi Shang never took this matter to heart, however, still keeping his excitement for the start of his high school life.

Does he not find me attractive? How can he actually fall asleep like this? How can he sleep so soundly?

_{Chi Shang remained silent for a moment, then moved to grab Bai Chen’s hand on his own. He pried open his fingers, stuffed the tomato he held between them, and then commanded in an incredibly normal tone:}After staying in that position for a long time, Chi Shang found it far too tiring and moved to directly sit right above Bai Chen’s crotch.

_{Chi Shang could not help but feel like those places where Bai Chen’s touch met his skin felt as though they had caught fire, a flame that had set his entire body ablaze.

_{But Chi Shang pressed his knee between Bai Chen’s legs, his brows rising when he heard the warning tone, yet he still pushed the legs below him apart, leaned forward, and began rubbing Bai Chen’s thіghs.}Chi Shang had a dream—a dream where he was drowning, a dream where the air was being incessantly stolen from his mouth. But just as he felt as though he was about to near his end, someone suddenly pulled him out. Panting and heaving, those eyes of his finally opened to see Bai Chen's enlarged face close to his before his senses completely returned.

_{The photography skills of those male and female seniors were poor, so only about one picture out of every dozen was paѕsable enough to keep. That very afternoon, Bai Chen got his hands on the photos, got them developed, and then placed the treasured images in the most noticeable place in the rooms.}
But it was because of him not caring at all about this incident that he never noticed that after he was on his way, Bai Chen had gotten his photos from those upperclaѕsmen.

_{But upon seeing this dazed appearance, Bai Chen couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him again.}“Babe.” Bai Chen stroked the delicate neck in his grasp, wondering if he could snap it off with just one hand.

But upon seeing this dazed appearance, Bai Chen couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him again.

_{Chi Shang felt as though his brain itself was hurting. Then, after a few seconds of delay in his reaction, he grabbed hold of Bai Chen’s collar and wished with every last fibre of his being he could strangle that idiot to death!}Bai Chen felt a shot of bitterness pierce his heart in that instant. Then, in a fit of anger, he kissed Chi Shang’s slightly closed lips and kept lіcking them until they were moist. After having his fill of lіcking, he began nipping at the sleeping guy’s lower lip, doing so until Chi Shang let out an uncomfortable groan. But at this point, Bai Chen couldn’t hold himself back any longer and pried those teeth open with his tongue before storming in.

_{“Why are you acting all crazy again this time?”}
Like this, whenever he returned to his apartment, that photo on the television cabinet was the first thing that greeted him, and he would tell it, "I'm back," as though there was really someone else waiting for him to come home.

There were no visible wrinkles on that photograph. It was clear they were meticulously preserved, but some things could not be avoided, so the edges around the picture had yellowed.

_{It had been so long since the name Bai Chen had filled Chi Shang’s life. Whether it had been the past three years or the past week, Bai Chen’s existence in his life had made him feel the most helpless, but it was also the one he found the most difficult to resist.}The photography skills of those male and female seniors were poor, so only about one picture out of every dozen was paѕsable enough to keep. That very afternoon, Bai Chen got his hands on the photos, got them developed, and then placed the treasured images in the most noticeable place in the rooms.

_{Clangs and bangs from the chopping board echoed within that kitchen, while Chi Shang pulled a tomato from the fridge and played with it.}Chi Shang tilted his head to the side and picked up the photo, his heart filling with an almost eerie premonition rushing out of his heart. After taking a good look at the person in the photo, Chi Shang closed his eyes, exhaled a deep breath, and then placed the photo back on the cabinet face-down.

Clangs and bangs from the chopping board echoed within that kitchen, while Chi Shang pulled a tomato from the fridge and played with it.

_{Chi Shang felt as though his brain itself was hurting. Then, after a few seconds of delay in his reaction, he grabbed hold of Bai Chen’s collar and wished with every last fibre of his being he could strangle that idiot to death!}Bai Chen tilted his head, carefully observing Chi Shang, even though he could already draw those features he had long burned into his mind with his eyes closed. Yet Bai Chen found himself thinking he still hadn’t seen him enough, and seeing Chi Shang leaning on him and sleeping so defenselessly, he inevitably found himself wondering:

_{"Babe, you better not regret it."}Seeing how their arms were bound together and their long legs had to be bent to fit, Chi Shang couldn't help but curse.

"Babe, you better not regret it."

_{Chi Shang could not help but feel like those places where Bai Chen’s touch met his skin felt as though they had caught fire, a flame that had set his entire body ablaze. But on the outside, he still maintained his unbothered expression to the point where even his tone was still full of provocation.}Clangs and bangs from the chopping board echoed within that kitchen, while Chi Shang pulled a tomato from the fridge and played with it.

_{Placing the plate of fruit on the coffee table, Bai Chen set the air conditioner at twenty-eight degrees, then drew the drаpes shut. Afterwards, he walked over to the closed-eyed Chi Shang and picked that guy up.}
The second the sounds from the kitchen stopped, Chi Shang bolted to the dinner table. Sitting up straight, he locked eyes with Bai Chen, which practically had the words “Hurry up, I’m starving to death over here” written in them.

Chi Shang ate that meal to his heart's content, which even made his mood feel lighter. Then, as he sat on the chair, Chi Shang leaned into the backrest and closed his eyes to take a short nap. Bai Chen, however, devotedly collected all the used dishes, washed them clean and then prepared a plate of fruit for him as a snack.

_{"Yep. I plan on hugging you just like this while we take a nap."}

_{Bai Chen felt a shot of bitterness pierce his heart in that instant. Then, in a fit of anger, he kissed Chi Shang’s slightly closed lips and kept lіcking them until they were moist.}
"Huh? What are you doing?"

Bai Chen felt a shot of bitterness pierce his heart in that instant. Then, in a fit of anger, he kissed Chi Shang’s slightly closed lips and kept lіcking them until they were moist. After having his fill of lіcking, he began nipping at the sleeping guy’s lower lip, doing so until Chi Shang let out an uncomfortable groan. But at this point, Bai Chen couldn’t hold himself back any longer and pried those teeth open with his tongue before storming in.

_{After staying in that position for a long time, Chi Shang found it far too tiring and moved to directly sit right above Bai Chen’s crotch.}The person in the photo was Chi Shang, and it was taken three years ago.

_{“Well, work hаrd then.

He recalled every single moment between them, no matter how trivial. Then, after examining them carefully, he exhaled a drawn-out breath.

“Well, work hаrd then. I have faith in you.” After this, he left the kitchen and slumped onto the sofa.

_{And, in response, Bai Chen reached out to grab Chi Shang’s while wearing a solemn expression, then led him downward to touch a certain place that had long risen before shooting him a wink.}
With his arms forced to wrap around Bai Chen's neck when he was lifted, and his face made to press against that guy's warm chеst, Chi Shang finally blew his lid.

_{Chi Shang clutched his chеst, pounding and throbbing with pain, causing even his stomach to swell with aches.}Bai Chen knew he had said it deliberately, but the feeling of jealousy at those words still persisted.

_{Seeing how their arms were bound together and their long legs had to be bent to fit, Chi Shang couldn't help but curse.}"Idiot."
