Chapter 25

"Mmm..."

"Ah..."

From the screen came a mix of shy and husky moans. Su Xingze straightened his posture, lowered his head, and just from listening to the sounds alone, his ears were already red beyond belief, let alone his face—he didn't even dare to look up.

Lu Xingwen only glanced at the screen once, then all his attention fell on Su Xingze.

This shy, flustered look of wanting to hide away was way too tempting—it made you want to take a little bite.

The sounds grew thicker and louder. Su Xingze felt like he was steaming himself from the inside out and just wanted to turn off the TV to cool down.

But Lu Xingwen took the remote away. The Alpha toyed with it, asking with a mischievous grin, "Have you learned, Chen Chen?"

"How is this any different from watching a porno?" Su Xingze's cheeks were flushed red like ripe strawberries. Because of the heat, he pressed the back of his hand against his cheeks to cool down.

"There is a difference—this is an AO physiology lesson." Lu Xingwen said this with a straight face, showing no reaction anywhere on his body, which only made Su Xingze seem even more flustered.

He took a few sips of soup and nearly choked when the sounds from the TV hit his ears. He slowly shuffled over and grabbed the hem of Lu Xingwen's shirt, asking, "Can we not watch this?"

"You promised me you'd take your punishment like a good boy." Lu Xingwen filled another bowl of soup for him. Seeing how the Omega curled up smaller and smaller, clearly shy but stealing cautious glances, his heart softened instantly. "This is a physiology lesson—you still need to watch it."

Truth was, Lu Xingwen wasn't without a reaction—all his reactions came from Su Xingze. As for the video on TV, he'd already studied it long ago and knew it by heart.

"Fine." Su Xingze knew he was in the wrong. Just then, the video hit the most critical part—complete marking—and he looked up, wanting to see the most crucial step.

A dozen or so minutes later, he was shocked speechless. Those two faceless CGI models could actually act it out so vividly, explaining even how to mark and how to knot.

At that, Su Xingze turned completely red. He swallowed hard, heat radiating from his whole body, and his breathing got faster. He parted his lips slightly to pant, trying to suck in more of the cool, thin air around him.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?" The video ended, and Lu Xingwen turned off the TV. He reached out to check Su Xingze's forehead.

Su Xingze shot up. Stammering, he said, "N-no need... I'm really sleepy, I'm gonna go back to bed."

"???"

Lu Xingwen watched the Omega's retreating figure, totally confused.

But this was Chen Chen's room. If he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, why'd he run out?

Lu Xingwen got up to chase after him, scared he'd gone too far today and that Chen Chen was pissed and ignoring him.

Su Xingze hadn't run more than a few feet before realizing something was a hundred percent wrong! That was his own room just now? He said he wanted to sleep but ran straight out of it?

What a dumb, stupid move!

Xiaolu would definitely laugh at him!

Su Xingze felt a tight, burning sensation down there. He pushed open a nearby empty room and slipped into the bathroom.

How embarrassing! Getting a reaction right in front of Xiaolu! If he hadn't run fast, he definitely would've been caught!

They'd been best bros since childhood and had even helped each other out with their hands before. But back then, neither of them had presented—they were still innocent young guys. Helping out was no big deal; it wasn't like they'd lose a layer of skin over it.

But now, one was an Alpha and the other was an Omega. Most importantly, he had a reaction while Lu Xingwen didn't have one. How could he possibly ask him for help? No freaking way!

Every room had a bathtub and shower, and the housekeeper cleaned them every day. Su Xingze turned on the warm water, stripped down, and sat in the tub.

At first, the water was shallow, just barely covering his feet. Though it brought a hint of coolness, it did nothing to relieve him—instead, the warm water only made it worse.

What filled Su Xingze's mind wasn't how to calm down—it was all about the complete marking from the video just now.

The more he thought, the more worked up he got. Not only was he radiating steam, but his whole body was buzzing.

The bathroom was thick with steam, and the air was getting thin. Before long, his cheeks were pink and sweat was rolling down his forehead.

The water finally reached his waist. Su Xingze hadn't even made a move yet when the bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Lu Xingwen looked frantic. He gripped the doorframe and looked down at him.

His pupils suddenly constricted and his eyes went wide. Su Xingze's mouth hung open, so shocked he didn't know whether to cover himself first or yell at him to stop.

A single second of hesitation, and it was too late for all of it. Everything that should and shouldn't have been seen—Lu Xingwen saw it all, and he didn't even leave and close the door.

Su Xingze lay in the tub, his heart finally dropping dead.

Lu Xingwen stared for a few seconds, then shut the door behind him and walked in.

His Adam's apple kept bobbing, desire thick and undeniable in his eyes. He quickly moved to the tub, crouched down, and leaned over the edge.

"I... I'm... fine." Su Xingze's words came out haltingly, looking nothing like someone who was fine. He was completely betrayed by his own body.

Noticing the other's gaze, he covered his face in frustration, not wanting to say another word.

Lu Xingwen let out a soft laugh, pulled his hand away, and said gently, "Chen Chen doesn't need to be shy. The first time I studied the AO physiology lesson, I was the same."

Su Xingze's eyes sparkled. "Really?"

Lu Xingwen nodded. "Really."

Lies. Though he had studied the physiology lesson, he hadn't had any reaction at all. He said this only to keep Chen Chen from being so embarrassed.

He truly had no reaction while watching the video. But now he did. Seeing Chen Chen like this was indeed a first—utterly captivating.

Long legs and arms stretched out in the tub, his whole body pale. Because he was afraid of being seen, he curled up, arms tightly hugging his knees. His eyes—whether misted with steam or already holding tears—made one's chest feel tight and full, making him want to pull him into an embrace and tease him a little.

Su Xingze noticed Lu Xingwen kept staring at him without saying anything. Stalling like this wasn't a solution either. At this rate, only he would be the one suffering.

He tested the waters. "Aren't you going out?"

Lu Xingwen didn't answer, but his gaze roamed even more brazenly. Holding onto the mindset that every extra second was a win, he racked up plenty more for free.

Su Xingze understood. He didn't want to leave!

"Go away... go away..." Suddenly, his whole body jolted, a sensation rising from below sweeping through him. He nearly cursed out loud.

When did Xiaolu become so reckless, just going for it directly like that? So sly and mischievous—where had his obedient Xiaolu gone?

Lu Xingwen was stunned for a few seconds too, but he quickly recovered and adapted quite well. "Tell me if it hurts... and tell me if it feels good too."

"No way." Su Xingze said stubbornly. He was already in Lu Xingwen's hands now; telling him to leave was far too late.

Might as well just enjoy it—after all, someone else doing it was way better than doing it himself.

Su Xingze coughed twice, turned his head away, and said, "Then you better treat me well..."
