Chapter 14 Sleeping with Head Covered

Chapter 14: Sleeping with Head Covered

Xierlan didn't consider himself stubborn, but seeing his insectoid mate so obediently endure his every whim still filled him with embarrassment and shyness.

*Ugh*, next time he wouldn't do anything to upset his beloved. Sexia was so adorable, just like a kitten—he truly didn't want to cause him any sadness or heartache.

And Sexia really, truly resembled a cute kitten. The way he let himself be petted so obediently was just too endearing, leaving Xierlan utterly smitten.

Xierlan's heart melted completely. Sexia had been lowering his eyes, allowing the human to stroke his head, but just as the car arrived, Sexia lifted his gaze. His water-blue eyes, like beautiful crystals, caught Xierlan's attention—it was exactly like a cute little animal.

How could he be so adorable? Xierlan felt utterly overwhelmed.

"My Lord, I'll take you home."

Sexia missed him so, so much. The impulse of dependency hadn't faded; it had been gnawing at his body and soul during their time apart. Now, just having his head touched made him feel pliant. After saying this, Xierlan still hadn't let go of his hand, so Sexia couldn't help but gently lift his head and nuzzle against Xierlan's palm.

Xierlan was utterly charmed. He took Sexia's hand and got into the car. The journey home would usually take about an hour, but Sexia altered the course, and the car turned directly toward an estate Sexia had specially purchased.

Xierlan didn't notice at all. He didn't even have time to see the changed route. Shortly after sitting down, the insectoid mate climbed onto his lap, clinging to him dependently.

When this happened, Xierlan instinctively wrapped his arms around Sexia. He looked down, and the insectoid mate's snow-white hair fell across his brows, his expression serene. The faint scent of bamboo leaves wafted from him. Feeling Xierlan's embrace, Sexia nestled his head gently into the crook of Xierlan's neck, sniffing softly and affectionately.

Xierlan's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand, stroking Sexia's head, his fingers slowly sinking into the soft hair. Sexia didn't move, so Xierlan continued, gently caressing down to his neck.

The skin under his fingertips was burning hot, as if scorching. Xierlan's palm unconsciously moved to the side of Sexia's neck.

He began to tighten his grip unconsciously, feeling the rhythm and strength of Sexia's pulse.

So obedient.

Xierlan couldn't help but lean closer, lifting Sexia's chin with his fingertips and planting a very innocent kiss on his lips.

It was simple yet clear. The insectoid mate, whose face was lifted, froze for a moment. The human in front of him had slightly drooping hair, deep black eyes that were calm and gentle, and when he saw Sexia look up, his lips curved into a soft, gentle smile, with a hint of mischief. He tilted his head and asked, "Baby?"

The hand on his cheek hadn't pulled away, and Xierlan instantly felt the temperature in his palm grow hot.

Sexia was completely stunned. His blush was clearly visible, though only the tips of his ears turned red. He let out a soft "mm" in response.

Xierlan gently stroked his cheek with his fingertips without saying a word. He slowly leaned in, intending to kiss the corner of Sexia's mouth, but felt the car gradually slowing down. Forced to stop, he looked outside and saw the hovercar had stopped in front of what looked like a very upscale villa district.

Xierlan, who came from an average family, had never seen anything like this. He immediately guessed it was Sexia's doing.

"Baby," Xierlan said, as if seeing a string of numbers, very sincerely, "You're really rich."

Being taken care of by his wife again =v=, but he was also really good at spending money. He'd paid out a huge sum in compensation, and even selling himself wouldn't be enough to pay it back TT. It hurt so much.

Sexia, whose ears were still red from the nuzzling, couldn't help but curl his fingers from the intimate gesture. He was still nestled in the human's embrace, and hearing such words made him feel even more overwhelmed.

Sexia mumbled, "My Lord, as long as you like it."

Xierlan looked up with admiration, his eyes sparkling. "So we'll be living here for the next three months? It'll take less than half an hour to get home every day, right?"

Wow, that's great!

"Mm."

Sexia slowly stood up, his hair slightly messy from the intimacy, his shirt slightly wrinkled. Perhaps wanting Xierlan to see the new home quickly, he reached out his hand to Xierlan, his expression calm and gentle, the tips of his ears still flushed.

"Let's go, let's see the new home."

Sexia stood tall and slender. Xierlan was used to seeing his shy, innocent side, but now, looking up at him, he was struck by Sexia's innate nobility and elegance, softened by the sincerity in his eyes.

Xierlan's ears turned red rapidly. He raised his hand and placed his palm in Sexia's, letting himself be pulled up.

His eyes were bright. Seeing Sexia about to get out of the car, he tightened his grip on Sexia's hand, pulling him back gently. "Wait, Sexia."

Sexia didn't move, obediently staying in place. Xierlan reached out, smoothing Sexia's messy hair and straightening his clothes, his expression serious. Only after finishing did he smile and say, "Okay now. I wouldn't want my baby to look disheveled, so I fixed you up."

"Even though Sexia is always beautiful and outstanding, I still want you to be dignified."

Sexia's ears burned. In another context, it would be easy for the insectoid mate to feel that his disheveled state was embarrassing to the other.

So Xierlan was really, really good at taking care of his feelings.

Sexia looked up, his fingers slowly hooking around the human's hand. "Why do I need to be dignified? My Lord, I like you very much. I want you to be happy."

Xierlan was hit hard by such a direct statement from his wife. His face flushed red instantly, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He could only turn away, leaving behind a smile he couldn't suppress.

This is too adorable.

Xierlan took a deep breath, finally calming down. He turned back and said, "Then let's go home first."

Their home was just a short walk away. As soon as he opened the door, Xierlan was captivated by the interior decoration and furnishings.

Xierlan's own home was a very ordinary residential unit, with simple wooden furniture, white walls, a large closet covered in newspaper, a glass-topped wooden table with photos tucked underneath—a very millennial-style home.

Xierlan liked it, but he preferred warm, cozy home decor. He had originally planned to earn money to buy a house and decorate it himself, but after being brought to the insect race, his wife had given him two homes already.

Who's the lucky one? Hard to guess.

Xierlan's admiration was unrestrained. He tearfully expressed, "Wuwu, I really love it!!"

The materials used in the insect race were of high quality, so there was no risk of formaldehyde right after construction. While expressing his liking, Xierlan didn't forget to praise Sexia's effort. "Baby, you put a lot of thought into preparing all this alone, didn't you? I love it all. Just a glance and I can already imagine how we'll live here together."

Xierlan leaned closer, his eyes sparkling. While Sexia was still stunned, he stole a kiss on his cheek. Instantly, the clear scent of gardenia orchid washed over him. "Sexia, your taste is great. The new home is very cozy. Thank you for preparing all this."

The insectoid mate's face turned red instantly. He could no longer hold back, gripping the human's hand tightly and throwing himself into Xierlan's arms.

"My Lord," Sexia was too embarrassed to speak. He just called out Xierlan's name and fell silent.

Xierlan felt indescribable. He blinked, suddenly thought of something, his face burning as he gently stroked downward.

Sexia didn't speak, but when he noticed Xierlan's movement, he embarrassedly clenched his fingers.

Xierlan felt something wet.

When he opened his hand, it even stretched into strands.

The innocent high school boy couldn't take it. He knew his wife depended on him, but this method was too unfair.

He pressed his lips softly against the crown of Sexia's head, his nose filled with the fresh scent of bamboo. His tone was gentle but carried a hint of unavoidable huskiness, though still soft. "Sexia, where do you want to go? The room or the bathroom."

After a moment, Sexia finally spoke, "...Bathroom."

The bathroom was nearby, all equipped with new fixtures. The bathtub was large, like a small hot spring pool.

Although they had been intimate several times, he still couldn't help but shy away when undressing in front of the other.

Xierlan, who was conservative-minded, was almost completely flushed. He closed his eyes while kissing gently, his movements tender as he slowly undressed him under the flow of water.

He instructed: "Sit down."

The male was so ready that no preparation was needed. Xierlan was fully immersed, and by the time the pheromones were released, Sexia could no longer lift his arms, burying his face dependently into the crook of Xierlan's neck before being lifted from the water.

The bathroom was filled with the fragrance of plants.

Sexia had thought he would be carried to the bedroom, but instead, Xierlan placed him on the slightly cold bathroom counter.

"Put your legs up."

Sexia was somewhat dazed when he saw Xierlan raise his legs.

The next second.

Sexia trembled, his waist tightening intensely. Soft flesh was pressed with indents by fingers, some even spilling through the gaps between fingers.

His toes curled uncontrollably.

The wetness overflowed like a river, gushing endlessly.

It was Xierlan's first time doing something like this, and while he handled it fairly well, he found Sexia's shrinking demeanor truly arousing.

So he tasted him.

Xierlan's ears flushed deeply red, but he calmly washed his face, opened his eyes, and helped the overwhelmed Sexia wash again.

An hour later, Xierlan carried the still-shy him back to the bedroom.

Sexia felt everything had gone too far. Lying beside Xierlan, he couldn't bring himself to face him, so he buried his head and curled his legs, trying to ignore his lingering excitement.

Perhaps because his reaction was too subdued, Xierlan worried his partner might suffocate himself. He turned sideways, gently patting Sexia's back with an amused tone, he said,

"Baby,"

"Why are you being so shy?"
