Ji Juechuan’s hand that had just scooped out a scoop of ice cream stopped in mid-air.

No matter how many times Yan Yan used this move on him, he couldn’t resist it, and this time was no exception.

Being looked at by Yan Yan like that, he couldn’t say any words of rejection, nor could he turn a blind eye and put the scoop of ice cream into his mouth.

Normally, no matter what Yan Yan said in such a tone, he would definitely agree. However, this time, considering Yan Yan’s health, he had a rare hesitation.

Yan Yan noticed his hesitation and kissed his thin lips hard while the iron was hot. His eyes were bright, as if he was sure that he would give him the ice cream.

How could Ji Juechuan not see what he was thinking? He pursed his lips.

This little heartless guy thought he was competing for ice cream with him. If he had changed to healthier snacks, he wouldn’t have to go to such trouble.

Yan Yan observed the change in Ji Juechuan’s expression and thought he had succeeded. Just as he was about to pick up the plate from his hand, he heard Ji Juechuan say, “You can only take one bite.”

He was startled for a moment and flattened his mouth: “Oh.”

Just one bite was better than not getting to eat at all.

Ji Juechuan put back the scoop of ice cream he had just scooped out, took another smaller scoop, and brought it to Yan Yan’s mouth.

Yan Yan’s eyes were a little unbelievable. He didn’t believe that he could be so stingy, but he still opened his mouth and ate from the spoon he sent.

The soft ice cream quickly melted in his mouth. After Yan Yan swallowed it, he looked at Ji Juechuan longingly.

Ice cream in winter seemed to be particularly delicious, and now that it was warm indoors, he became even greedier after taking a bite.

Ji Juechuan glanced at his frozen red lips, took a big spoonful, and put it into his mouth under Yan Yan’s expectant gaze.

The cold and sweet taste instantly filled his entire mouth. Ji Juechuan frowned hard and quickly swallowed the ice cream.

He felt the spoon in his hand being pulled, and when he lowered his head, he saw Yan Yan taking the spoon in his hand.

Ji Juechuan raised the spoon mercilessly: “I said you could only take one bite.”

Yan Yan sat on his lap, shook his feet, and retracted his hand: “…Oh.”

After two more bites, only a bit of the ice cream was left. Halfway through, Ji Juechuan saw Yan Yan’s eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

He cautiously took the plate further away, took a spoonful and brought it to his mouth. He saw Yan Yan suddenly come closer and eat the spoonful of ice cream he was about to put into his mouth.

Ji Juechuan narrowed his eyes, raised his hands to pinch his cheeks, and heard the sound of him swallowing.

Yan Yan bent his eyes towards him and kissed his lips with his slightly cold lips. There was a sweet taste between their lips.

Ji Juechuan pursed his lips and suddenly felt that the sweet taste was not so unbearable.

He put the spoon down and was about to get a tissue, but he didn’t expect Yan Yan to get off his lap and knock over the ice cream plate with his movement.

The remaining ice cream fell on the two of them, seeping through the thin fabric and staining their skin.

The sticky feeling made Yan Yan wrinkle his nose instantly. He ran over to get his pajamas and prepared to go into the bathroom to take a shower.

Before he could close the bathroom door, he saw Ji Juechuan sitting on a chair with a dark face and half-melted ice cream on his pants.

Thinking that he had spilled the ice cream, Yan Yan felt a little sorry and went over to pull Ji Juechuan: “Honey, do you want to wash up together?”

Ji Juechuan was startled for a moment and looked up, only to see Yan Yan’s clear eyes, as if he had just invited him to take a bath with him, nothing else.

He took a deep breath and said, “Okay.”

The bathroom in Ji Juechuan’s room was not too narrow, just enough to accommodate two people, but they had to move closer so that they would not touch the wall.

Yan Yan started to take off his clothes after entering. He couldn’t stand the sticky feeling on his body at all, so he quickly took off his shirt completely.

Ji Juechuan glanced at the clothes he had thrown into the laundry basket, pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and took off his shirt with his back to him.

Another piece of fabric was thrown into the laundry basket. Ji Juechuan took a quick glance and found that it was Yan Yan’s pants.

After a period of rustling, Yan Yan’s voice came from behind: “I’m going to shower first.”

Ji Juechuan’s Adam’s apple moved up and down: “Yeah.”

The sound of water rang out, and steam quickly filled the bathroom.

Ji Juechuan stared at the ground and listened carefully to the movement behind him.

After a while, the sound of water became quieter, and then the scent of shower gel floated in, like countless little hooks. Soon, the sound of water became louder again.

Not long after, the sound of water stopped completely.

“Honey, I’m going out first.”

Yan Yan put on his nightgown and looked back, where he saw Ji Juechuan still standing with his back to him, his pants still a little wet from the water from his bath just now.

Without thinking much, he opened the door and went out.

When Ji Juechuan came out of the shower, Yan Yan had already gotten into the quilt, with only his head exposed.

When he saw him coming out, he immediately took out his hand from the quilt, opened his arms towards him, and fluttered his long eyelashes.

Ji Juechuan walked over and had just taken the person into his arms when he was entangled hand and foot by Yan Yan.

Every part of Yan Yan’s body seemed to be soft. When his hand moved down a little, it touched his delicate skin, making people reluctant to move away.

Ji Juechuan moved his fingers, and just as he was about to lift off his obstructive nightgown, there was another knock on the door.

“Tsk.” Ji Juechuan took back his hand and pressed his eyebrows, “What’s the matter?”

“Juechuan, I’ve asked someone to prepare hot milk for you. Drink it before going to bed.”

The voice from the door away was a little blurry, but he could still recognize that it  was Ni Ningfu.

Yan Yan saw Ji Juechuan lower his eyes and not respond.

There was no more sound from outside the door. He wondered if she was still standing at the door waiting.

Yan Yan let go of Ji Juechuan’s hand, got off the bed, and whispered to Ji Juechuan, “I’ll open the door.”

He stepped on the soft carpet with bare feet, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Ni Ningfu still standing at the door.

“Auntie, you haven’t rested yet?”

“Not yet. Auntie heard that you guys came back from N city today, so she asked someone to prepare hot milk to avoid letting you catch a cold.” Ni Ningfu said in a caring tone, then she asked the servant behind her who was holding the tray to step forward and said, “It seems to have snowed in City N today. Did you catch a cold?”

“No, thank you for Auntie’s care.” Yan Yan smiled at her and took the tray, “You should also pay attention to your health and rest early.”

Ni Ningfu also had a smile on her face: “Okay.”

After the door closed, Yan Yan put the tray on the bedside table and climbed onto the bed.

He seemed to have put a magnet on Ji Juechuan’s body. As soon as he climbed onto the bed, he stuck to him again.

Ji Juechuan was so happy that he hugged him. Kissing him on the eyebrows, he saw him blinking and his eyes flashed slightly.

“What do you want to ask? Ji Juechuan pinched his face.

Yan Yan hugged his neck and asked, “Do you have a bad relationship with aunt?”

At the engagement party before, he noticed that the atmosphere between Ji Juechuan and Ni Ningfu was very tense, but these few times he had contact with Ni Ningfu, he felt that Ni Ningfu was an easy person to get along with. He didn’t know if something had happened between Ji Juechuan and her?

He didn’t ask before because he felt that he and Ji Juechuan were not a real couple, so he didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business.

But now he just wanted to know more about Ji Juechuan.

Ji Juechuan replied calmly: “It’s not bad, but we’re not close.”

Yan Yan didn’t speak, just looked into his eyes, waiting for him to continue. He didn’t plan to say more at first, but when he met Yan Yan’s eyes, Ji Juechuan pursed his lips and said a few more words: “After my mother passed away, it didn’t take long for her to come into our home. She was only in her early twenties at that time.”

“Maybe she really liked my father and couldn’t bear to see anything related to my mother in the house. After entering the house, she burned all my mother’s photos and replaced them with their wedding photos. One time, while I was at school, she even took and burned the photos I kept in my room. Fortunately, I kept her relics with me so they were not taken away by her.”

“I ran away from home after I came back that day. It took the people sent by my father half a month to find me. I heard from Uncle He that I was only half alive when I was found, and I had to recuperate in the hospital for several months. From that time on, she no longer dared to enter my room.”

Yan Yan held Ji Juechuan’s hand tightly. He remembered how old Ji Juechuan was when Ji Juechuan’s mother passed away in the book. He ran away from home at such a young age for half a month, and he didn’t know what he must have gone through during this period. This experience was never mentioned in the book. Now that he heard Ji Juechuan say it, he got to know there was such a passage.

This was not a plot, but Ji Juechuan’s personal experience. All the pain was real.

Ji Juechuan saw Yan Yan’s slightly red eye sockets, so he kissed the end of his eye.

“What about you? How did you live after leaving the Yan family? “

At first, he felt that Yan Yan must have had a bad life after leaving the Yan family, but the more he got along with Yan Yan, the less he felt like a person who had experienced those rough things.

Yan Yan seemed to be a person who grew up well protected, he always saw everything very simply, and clearly distinguished between likes and dislikes. He was easily hurt but also quick to forgive.

This made him even more curious about what kind of family environment could raise such a person.

Yan Yan didn’t expect that Ji Juechuan would suddenly ask him this question, and he didn’t know how to answer it for a moment.

But he didn’t want to deceive Ji Juechuan, so he just said: “I have lived a good life.”

Although he was not the one who left the Yan family but by saying this, he should not be lying to Ji Juechuan, right?

Ji Juechuan’s eyes flashed and he kissed his smooth forehead without asking any more questions.

Yan Yan chased after him, kissed him on the lips several times, and then buried his face into his neck without moving.

Ji Juechuan knew that he was feeling distressed because of the experience he just mentioned, and with a smile in his eyes, he added, “The milk will get cold if you don’t drink it anymore.”

Yan Yan hugged him harder and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t want to get up.”

After saying that, Ji Juechuan felt his Adam’s apple being licked by something soft and warm, and then he was sucked lightly on the side of his neck.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and he couldn’t tell whether the man was comforting him or teasing him.

He calmly took a deep breath, intending to see what Yan Yan wanted to do. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he only heard a long breath.

Yan Yan buried himself in the crook of his neck and fell asleep peacefully.

Ji Juechuan tugged at the corners of his lips and sucked on the side of his neck in return, leaving a faint mark before falling asleep with the fragrant and soft person in his arms.
