Chapter 47

Are we really only supposed to do it during my heat?

Fu Yuze precisely placed a kiss on his dimple and solemnly told Jiang Jining, "If I'm only granted three days of leniency each month, it's not healthy for me."

"Hmm?" Jiang Jining was fooled by him and whispered, "...Oh."

Alright then.

But five minutes later, he was in trouble.

This... was nothing like before at all!

With both of them having a perfect first time but lacking practical experience, once they left that specific period, those three days of beautiful memories shattered in an instant. Jiang Jining felt as if his body had been pierced by a thousand arrows.

Tears fell like pearls from a broken string. He was so frightened that he hid under the covers, unwilling to look at the culprit.

...So it could hurt this much.

Fu Yuze actually kept pushing in regardless.

The tenderness of those few days during the heat now seemed like fleeting clouds.

Jiang Jining could tell they hadn't even reached one-third of the way, yet he was already terrified and overwhelmed. He could only say it was fortunate that Fu Yuze noticed something was wrong in time and withdrew completely.

The two of them were thrown into chaos.

Jiang Jining could feel the person holding him filled with remorse, stroking his hair over and over again.

"Sorry, A Ning."

It was the first time in Fu Yuze's life that he felt utterly helpless.

He had strictly followed the timing from before.

Back then, Jiang Jining would even complain and urge him on. He never expected that leaving the heat would make things so difficult.

Jiang Jining wasn't ready yet.

Fu Yuze deeply understood that he had made a serious mistake.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Jining's body couldn't reach a state suitable for both of them in just five minutes. Even with last-minute remedies, his fear won out.

"Feeling a bit better?"

Fu Yuze wiped away Jiang Jining's damp tear stains and heard him respond in a kitten-like voice, "...No."

Fu Yuze felt as if a knife had been slashed across his heart again and again. Recalling his actions just now, he couldn't quite bring himself to look at the grievance and accusation in Jiang Jining's eyes. He put the unused gel back in the drawer, helped Jiang Jining get dressed, and carried him in his arms to soothe him to sleep. "From now on, we won't do it except during your heat."

Jiang Jining wiped his eyes with both hands and wrapped his arms around Fu Yuze's waist.

Then he forgave him.

So they really couldn't do it on regular days anymore.

Fu Yuze waited until Jiang Jining had completely calmed down, placed him beside him, and continued patting his thin back. But then he heard Jiang Jining say, "I want to sleep on top of you like I did just now."

Fu Yuze: "..."

His physical state wasn't as calm as his rationality.

His body couldn't escape its instinctive physiological reactions. Any kind of tears from Jiang Jining were like adding fuel to the fire for him. Since he had decided to be a saint, he would see it through to the end. He didn't want to put Jiang Jining in an awkward position, so he kept controlling himself to prevent Jiang Jining from discovering the colossal thing by his leg that had made him cry.

How could he hide it if he kept holding him?

Fu Yuze paused for half a second but still agreed, "Okay. I'll go to the bathroom and come back to hold you while you sleep. You lie down for a bit first."

Jiang Jining nodded softly.

Fu Yuze leaned down to kiss him and, as he left, casually took the underwear Jiang Jining had changed out of, buying himself more time. "I'll wash these for you."

Jiang Jining had been the same during his heat those few days and was already used to it. "Mm."

But this wait lasted until he was almost asleep.

It was about twenty minutes later when someone finally embraced him from behind.

Jiang Jining got his wish and lay on top of Fu Yuze. As he got closer, he sniffed the scent of soap on him.

"I took a shower, so I was a bit late."

Seeing Jiang Jining's drowsy appearance, Fu Yuze said softly, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Jining buried himself in his arms without any reservation.

Seeing this, Fu Yuze didn't regret his promise at all. At most, he could just indulge himself fully at the end of each month.

...

The seven-day National Day holiday.

All online reservation slots for Shishu were fully booked.

Fu Yuze needed to personally oversee the quality control of warehouse ingredients and conduct spot checks on preparations in various departments. He was basically not home during the day, only arranging a dedicated driver for Jiang Jining to choose dining locations.

After visiting the private dining room many times, Jiang Jining would also invite Bian Han to bring her kitten.

To ensure a good dining environment for guests, Shishu hadn't yet developed a pet-friendly area and currently did not accept guests with pets. Bian Han usually kept the kitten in a carrier the whole time, only letting it out for Jiang Jining once they reached the private room.

This private room was generally not open to the public.

Unfortunately, Xi Wang was quite busy.

After completing his training, he spent most of his time working in the kitchen.

Work was work. While Xi Wang was diligently working, he couldn't come out to chat and play with them. Only once, when he finished early, did Fu Yuze invite him over to keep Jiang Jining company.

The night before October 1st.

Fu Yuze got off work about five minutes late and drove a bit faster on the way home. As soon as he entered, Aunt Tao automatically reported to him upon seeing him, "Xiao Ning is in the study watching cartoons on his iPad."

Fu Yuze deliberately made no sound when he went to the study.

He pushed the door open just enough to get a view of Jiang Jining and then leaned quietly against the doorframe. He saw Jiang Jining wrapped in a blanket, his cheeks flushed red, though he couldn't tell if it was from happiness or excitement.

The cartoon sound effects were full of energy.

But it happened to be paused right at the end of a plot segment.

"You two going in dry must hurt!" An incredulous, laughing voice rang out in the study.

That's when Fu Yuze noticed that besides the colorful iPad light on Jiang Jining's face, a screen was also glowing under his chin. On the desk lay a phone on speaker.

That had to be Bian Han.

She was still chattering away—

"He's really not touching you at all?"

"Mhm." Jiang Jining drew his knees up and began to share his worries. "I thought it was okay at first too, but I don't get why every night we're in bed, I notice he..."

"Always gets hard," Bian Han casually supplied.

Jiang Jining admitted, blushing.

Fu Yuze outside the door: "..."

Is this something you can just casually talk about?

But soon, his heart melted into a sticky, syrup-soaked cotton candy.

"I just found out he gets this uncomfortable." Jiang Jining grew a little sad as he spoke. "But it hurts me a lot too. If only my heat cycle could be controlled at my will, those few days we were both so happy."

Not like now.

He didn't say any more after that.

Actually, Jiang Jining had only started seriously considering this last night.

He'd drunk too much water before bed and got up to use the bathroom. That's when he found out Fu Yuze wasn't in bed with him. After he was done, he went downstairs and asked Aunt Tao, who also said she hadn't seen him.

Absentmindedly, Jiang Jining returned to the second floor. He passed by the master bedroom and went to the room he'd used on his first visit to Xieting. Thinking it wouldn't hurt to look, he opened the door and found the bathroom light on. The door was slightly ajar, and the sound of trickling water made him wonder.

Was Fu Yuze showering here?

Jiang Jining's heart instantly calmed. Meaning well, he went to close the door, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the scene inside and froze on the spot, his face turning completely red!

How could this be...

When Jiang Jining returned to bed, he only felt confused. He tossed and turned for fifteen minutes, and Fu Yuze still hadn't come back. So, with his hair a mess, he sat up in bed, unable to settle down for a long time.

He usually didn't have much desire himself.

But Fu Yuze seemed to really enjoy being intimate with him.

They'd agreed not to, so they didn't. On days not during his heat, things were peaceful. Fu Yuze was probably afraid of disturbing his sleep or creating an awkward situation...

But Fu Yuze had never said he didn't want to.

He needed it.

Jiang Jining really couldn't think of a good solution. Hearing the door lock, he immediately burrowed under the covers. When Fu Yuze returned, he deliberately or not rolled into his arms to observe him.

No matter how he looked at it, something was off.

Fu Yuze felt very warm.

Jiang Jining hadn't gone to Shishu to eat today. He stayed home all day, preoccupied, searching various books for answers, to no avail. He wasn't in the habit of looking things up online, so in the end, he could only turn to Bian Han for help.

Thankfully, there was someone who understood.

"There wasn't enough foreplay."

Bian Han could still reply while typing away noisily on her keyboard. "Since you've succeeded before without any tools, theoretically, there shouldn't be a big problem. You're too tense or haven't found the right state. Don't rush. Didn't Fu Yuze prepare anything else? Do you have gel at home?"

Jiang Jining had no recollection at all. "What's that?"

"Knock, knock."

A knocking sound came from the door.

Jiang Jining quickly bit his lip and hung up. "I have to go now."

Fu Yuze pushed the door open and walked in.

Jiang Jining slowly slipped his feet into his slippers. "Weren't you coming back later?"

Seeing his forced composure, Fu Yuze covered his burning, kitten-like ears and started with the simplest lesson. "Don't discuss this kind of thing with anyone other than me. Not even Sister Bian Han."

Although he was very grateful.

Bian Han had tried to solve the problem from both their perspectives.

With flushed cheeks, Jiang Jining hugged Fu Yuze's waist. "You heard?"

"If there's something you want to know, I'll teach you."

Fu Yuze reached back and turned off the cartoon.

Jiang Jining was left with a bellyful of unspoken words. "But it's because you hurt me last time that..."

It completely cut off his thoughts of doing it on ordinary days.

The questioned Fu Yuze wasn't flustered at all. He pinched Jiang Jining's cheek, soft like well-risen dough, to plead his case. "I've already deeply reflected and come up with two methods. But back then, seeing you so scared, crying so much it hurt my heart, I was worried that even after trying to make it up to you, you'd still be too tense and the effect would be greatly reduced."

Jiang Jining slowly rested his chin in Fu Yuze's palm.

"...I'm really afraid of pain."

"This time, I'll go slower." Seeing him like this, Fu Yuze figured he must have been thinking about it for two or three days. He had thought he was the only one with a wandering mind, but now he finally felt the joy of being understood. After all, being directly disqualified and being given a chance to perform were completely different.

Jiang Jining also wanted to solve the problem. After hesitating, he nodded in Fu Yuze's embrace.

If it hurt again this time...

He planned to completely ignore Fu Yuze from then on.

However, Fu Yuze seemed to have learned from all his lessons. Treating it as his one and only chance to perform, he wasn't tired even after a full day of work. He simply shed all pretense, flustering Jiang Jining into a deep blush from the moment he started his shower.

"You..."

"I'll help you wash."

Fu Yuze rolled up his shirt sleeves and came in. He needed to ensure he infinitely extended the foreplay time from last time, to fully understand Jiang Jining.

Not necessarily to reach the level during his heat cycle, but at least to have a visible effect.

Only as a last resort would he use auxiliary tools.

Until now, Fu Yuze had planned to hold back completely.

Jiang Jining initially managed to keep his composure, treating him merely as the person washing him, but soon, with gentle caresses and teasing everywhere, his young and vigorous body simply couldn't withstand such stimulation.

When he was calm and detached, it was fine.

Once his interest was stirred, Jiang Jining also found it hard to bear.

Fu Yuze knew he had already passed the first hurdle, feigning ignorance as he continued to lather Jiang Jining with soap. He saw skin as white as snow, wrists like frost, using the height difference between the bathtub and his crouching position to conceal his ulterior motives. He washed Jiang Jining's legs while constantly testing the waters.

Jiang Jining couldn't take it anymore, pushing him away with slippery hands, "...I can wash myself."

Twenty minutes passed.

Fu Yuze's stage report card was perfect.

He got to his feet, washed his hands, took a towel, and gently wiped Jiang Jining's wet eyelashes, saying, "Alright, I'll go out."

Jiang Jining: "..."

Why was he suddenly so compliant? Couldn't he understand his mixed signals? If told to leave, he just left?

Jiang Jining peered over the edge of the bathtub, watching Fu Yuze close the door behind him. As if struck by a thought, he slid down, trying to handle the situation himself by learning from Fu Yuze's methods, just so he wouldn't end up like last time.

Soon, his face flushed bright red.

It felt even worse!

Jiang Jining's bath was particularly unsatisfying. Fortunately, the antidote had already been washed clean and locked the door. Fu Yuze embraced him and gently settled him onto the bed, "Lie back."

Jiang Jining didn't understand what he was planning.

By the time he came back to himself, his eyes had already lost focus.

His breathing was as chaotic as if infected by a virus, and the smooth sheets beneath him became crumpled. When Fu Yuze lifted him up for a kiss, he immediately shrank back down.

No!

Fu Yuze had to kiss him below the ear instead, "I just went to rinse my mouth."

Jiang Jining thought of the earlier stimulation that felt like soaring and then plummeting, curling up in Fu Yuze's embrace, burying himself deeper. He wanted to say he wasn't allowed to do that again, but the words caught in his throat.

He quite liked it.

Fu Yuze asked what he dared not, tucking a thin layer of stray hair behind his ear and whispering, "Wasn't it much more interesting?"

Jiang Jining lifted his leg to kick him, "...Dirty."

The kitten was throwing a tantrum. Fu Yuze noticed his eyes were bright and watery, clearly moved that he would do such things. His hand moved from Jiang Jining's shoulder down to his waist, "No, it's very clean. Give me a little reward?"

Jiang Jining was fully prepared.

Fu Yuze had spent the past few days learning new techniques in his spare time, and as a top student in putting theory into practice, he was fully qualified in front of a novice like Jiang Jining, not missing any of the skills for serving someone.

What Fu Yuze had just done was too...

If it were him, he could never do such a thing in his lifetime. But when he asked, Fu Yuze very seriously told him he wasn't allowed to do it.

Jiang Jining had never even considered it.

With different basic conditions, how could he possibly manage?

Fu Yuze was fully confident he could succeed this time, but to ensure nothing went wrong, he still used the gel from the drawer.

The icy-cold sensation made Jiang Jining flinch.

As Fu Yuze explained its function, he tore open a new condom. With both water and oil in play, there was no better combination.

!

Jiang Jining wrapped his arms around his neck, tightly closed his eyes, and let out a muffled sound as his eyelashes fluttered. Fu Yuze responded with kisses, telling him he couldn't be overly tense anymore, or all their efforts would be wasted.

The process of answering the question went remarkably smoothly.

When Jiang Jining was pleasantly surprised, he heard Fu Yuze ask, "Are you okay?"

"...It doesn't hurt."

Jiang Jining whispered this very softly.

Everything was fine!

Fu Yuze chuckled at his triumphant expression, quietly advancing the remaining half of the project, kissing his soft earlobe.

...

...

It was more exhausting than pulling radishes on a farm.

After finishing, Jiang Jining felt like he could sleep for a lifetime.

When Fu Yuze finally released him, he seemed utterly satisfied as he caught him for kisses, pulling away, but then his movements suddenly paused.

"...Shower," Jiang Jining said, hugging the blanket.

"Right away."

Fu Yuze casually removed the rubber product that had already slipped off by two-thirds. At this point, whether to fill it with water or not was unnecessary—what was meant to leak had probably already leaked out.

He had been too carried away today.

He must be more careful next time.
