The next morning arrived, painting the room in a gentle glow as the sun cast its warm embrace upon the world. Within this haven, two figures lay entwined in slumber, their forms locked in an intimate embrace. One, a vision of handsomeness, shielded the other's face from view, his possessive hold around the other's delicate frame evident to anyone who might dare to intrude.
Innocent maids ventured into the room, curiosity guiding their steps. Their eyes widened as they witnessed the scene before them, faces aflame with embarrassment.
Two souls, locked in the embrace of sleep, left no room for doubt—their hearts were undeniably intertwined. Yet, their shock was met with an admonishment from the vigilant housekeeper, who implored them to seal their lips, guarding this secret as if it were the kingdom's most precious treasure.
Feng Li stirred, the ache in his head a gentle reminder of the previous night's tumultuous events. His hand, still wrapped around something impossibly smooth and supple, sent a thrill of recognition through him. Gingerly, he peered down at his arms, finding a head nestled against his chest, slumbering in blissful ignorance. His heart swelled, and he dared not move, lest this cherished vision be shattered.
With tenderness akin to reverence, Feng Li inched his face closer to the figure in his arms, pressing a tender kiss to the warmth of Yu Xin's forehead. The world outside faded as he drew Yu Xin nearer, finding solace in the vulnerability of this precious soul. His chin rested gently upon Yu Xin's head, a silent promise to protect and cherish.
Within their intimate cocoon, Yu Xin stirred, his movement coaxing an instinctive tightening of Feng Li's hold. He was wrapped in the strong arms of his protector, ensconced in a haven of warmth and security. A soft hum of contentment escaped his lips as he clung to Feng Li's clothing, seeking reassurance in their connection.
Moments passed, time suspended in the tranquility of their embrace. But eventually, Yu Xin's form tensed, a flutter of consciousness stirring within him. He felt the solidity of Feng Li's presence, the rhythm of his heartbeat beneath his ear.
Slowly, he allowed himself to shift, and the world fell into a breathless hush.
Yu Xin's eyes fluttered open, and a blush like the deepest of roses painted his delicate features. Those once-slumberous eyes now brimmed with shyness, his hands resting lightly against the firm expanse of Feng Li's chest. A tentative gaze traced Feng Li's face, taking in the straight nose, the strong jawline, and the lips that beckoned with promise.
His own lips, pouting in sleep, had a magnetic pull on Yu Xin's gaze. Temptation coursed through him, an impulse to bridge the gap that separated them. Slowly, he leaned in, drawn to the allure of a morning kiss. But just before their lips could meet, those teasing green eyes met his, the mischievous glint within them a mirror to his own desire.
Embarrassment flamed across Yu Xin's face, hotter than ever before. He sought refuge in Feng Li's comforting chest, his heart pounding as he hid from the playful gaze that had caught him in the act.
With a light laughter, Feng Li's chest began to shake, brought on by amusement. Tenderly, he cupped Yu Xin's face within his hands, gradually drawing his lips nearer.
Yu Xin squeezed his eyes shut, but after a few moments, he sensed nothing on his lips. Gently, he opened one eye and was met with the sight of Feng Li's smiling face. His own cheeks now resembled a cooked crustacean. Gaining the courage, he opened both eyes, realizing Feng Li was inching ever closer; only a mere breath separated their lips.
Yu Xin felt the tightening grip on his waist, and something velvety delicately grazed his lips.
His body tensed, and his heartbeat quickened.
Feng Li's lips gracefully parted from Yu Xin's rose-colored lips. He locked his gaze with Yu Xin's eyes, seemingly searching for something. Finding no trace of disgust or repulsion, he once again let his lips meet Yu Xin's. This kiss was not as tender as the previous one, but rather more fervent.
Yu Xin closed his eyes, his eyelashes quivering from the intensity of the kiss. He sensed something tender and moist intrude into his mouth. Yu Xin cautiously parted his lips, surrendering to the forceful intrusion of Feng Li's tongue.
Taking care to ensure Yu Xin's comfort, Feng Li gently lowered him onto the bed, situating himself above him.
Their tongues entwined as the room became engulfed in warmth and muffled sounds. Feng Li's hands encircled Yu Xin's slender waist, kneading it to relish its supple texture.
Yu Xin's hands slowly ascended Feng Li's chest, eventually coiling around his neck. Every inch of his body trembled, while his breathing grew erratic, a consequence of the unexpected invasion within his mouth. It felt as if Feng Li was draining his very essence.
Yu Xin found breathing increasingly difficult, his grip on Feng Li's neck weakening. Abandoning the embrace, his hands struck against Feng Li's chest, pleading for the cease of this overwhelming experience.
With a slight sensation on his chest, Feng Li gradually created distance between his and Yu Xin's mouths. Gazing into watery red eyes, he observed the entire face of Yu Xin, now crimson due to oxygen deprivation. The once delicate, rosy lips had become swollen, red, and moistened with saliva. It was as though Yu Xin's heavy breathing acted as a lure, captivating Feng Li in a desire to kiss and fuse with him.
As Yu Xin clung to Feng Li, every breath became a struggle, his fingers tightening their hold on Feng Li's neck.
Feng Li's emerald eyes, initially clouded by desire, soon regained their tranquil composure. He reminded himself, "I shouldn't frighten my beloved; what if he decides to run away?"
Shifting his body away from Yu Xin's, Feng Li took a seat beside him. Blushing fiercely, Yu Xin began to rise, evidently eager to depart. However, before he could escape, his legs betrayed him, their strength wavering. In that critical moment, Feng Li reacted swiftly, clutching Yu Xin's hand and pulling him nearer.
Yu Xin's delicate form tumbled onto Feng Li's lap, where it found a secure haven. Lowering his gaze, Yu Xin's eyes welled up with crimson embarrassment.
Ensuring that Yu Xin had no opportunity for escape, Feng Li securely held his waist. Yu Xin turned his head to meet Feng Li's gaze and stumbled over his words, "I... I'd like to return to my room."
Upon observing Feng Li's quizzical and glistening eyes, a faint smile graced his lips as he inquired, "Is this not your chamber as well?"
Yu Xin's eyes widened in astonishment, his bewilderment evident in his expression.
With a tender grip, Feng Li clasped Yu Xin's right hand and earnestly questioned, "My love, I am utterly captivated by you; would you consider entering into a relationship with me? Rest assured, my intentions are sincere; I aspire to make you my spouse in the days ahead."
Yu Xin found himself overcome with emotions, his already reddened eyes filling with tears once more.
Fervently, Feng Li gently wiped away Yu Xin's tears and patiently awaited his response.
Summoning his courage, Yu Xin replied, "I..."
