As usual, Shen Ze had conducted a lot of research. However, in the beginning, his kissing technique was still lacking, causing Xiang Han's eyes to redden from the rough and painful kiss. Struggling for a while, by the time he was finally released, Xiang Han couldn't even speak. He could only focus on catching his breath while his lips had already become swollen.
After regaining his breath, he immediately looked at Shen Ze and complained, "If you don't know how to kiss, don't just shove your tongue in. Who the heck just starts randomly biting?"
After releasing his anger, Xiang Han remembered the main point, "That…hurry up and untie me." Since he was not going to be cut up, he wasn't afraid.
However, Shen Ze seemed to have not heard him. Tracing his cold fingertips over the perimeters of the red ropes bound around his body, Xiang Han felt itchy, as if a feather was being swept across his skin.
He shivered and the uneasiness in his heart grew once more. He shrunk backwards and asked meekly, "Brother, let's talk properly. Untie this rope first…"
Shen Ze laughed, and used one hand to prop himself on the bed while the other one caressed his face. His voice was extremely gentle, "Be good. Your brother's injury hasn't healed, so this is safer. Moreover, doesn't Little Han look even more beautiful like this?"
Cold sweat dripped down Xiang Han's back as he began to inch back until he fell off the bed with a 'thump'. Even till the end, he continued to struggle, "You said you would give me time to consider…"
"You're taking too long, let your brother help you choose," Shen Ze cut him off, leaning forward to plant a kiss against his neck. The hands around the rope also continuously glided down.
Xiang Han sucked in a cold breath, turning his head away as he hurriedly compromised, "I-I-I don't need you to help me. I've already decided. I feel that we…should take things slowly, one step at a time. Isn't this…too rushed?"
Rushed? Shen Ze felt like it wasn't the slightest bit rushed. He'd already been enduring for a long time.
He quietly grasped a certain part which had been carefully bound by the red ropes, stimulating Xiang Han so much so he seemed like a fish desperately gasping for air on land.
Shen Ze leaned closer to his ear, his tone warm and gentle, "Don't be stubborn. Look, your body is already reacting."
Xiang Han hurriedly clamped his legs together, his face burning. "D-don't force me…mmpf."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ze used his tongue to shut him up. Xiang Han silently cursed his slyness in his heart; but with both his mouth and lower body being attacked at the same time, he could only feel the heat in his body. Very quickly, he lost his senses to the pleasure and trembled as he came.
Shen Ze endured his lust, breathing heavily beside his ear. After a moment, he suddenly took out a red ball-gag and, taking advantage of Xiang Han, who was yet to come back to his senses, he silently placed it over his mouth.
By the time Xiang Han noticed the thing in his mouth, he could neither bite down nor spit it out. He only cried pitifully in retaliation.
Shen Ze kissed the corner of his lips happily and said, "Be good, your brother still has a psychological shadow from the previous time. I have no other choice. So, be good."
Be good, my ass! Xiang Han glared at him furiously. But his reddened eyes, filled with tears, simply carried no sense of threat.
Shen Ze's breath grew even heavier and he finally couldn't hold back any longer. He roughly prepared Xiang Han once before thrusting into the soft and hot cavern.
Xiang Han teared up from the pain, letting out muffled sobs; Fuck, his technique was indeed too lacking. It hurt too much!
Shen Ze's eyes narrowed in satisfaction and he quickly reached the heights of pleasure, savouring the taste of this meal he had painstakingly prepared.
On the other hand, Xiang Han was like a small boat floating in a big, stormy sea, forced to rise and fall with each wave, unable to escape. Till the end, he felt his waist was about to break and his tears couldn't stop flowing.
Late at night, the sounds coming from the room gradually died down. The little ball gag in Xiang Han's mouth had disappeared a long time ago but nonetheless, he didn't feel like speaking at all. His entire body felt as though it had just been steam-rolled over; he didn't even have the energy to lift a finger.
Shen Ze laid on top of him, his breath gradually growing steady. After a moment, he turned over and stuck tightly to Xiang Han. Then, he held the other's hand and brought it to his lips for a peck.
Feeling an itch coming from his fingers, Xiang Han's senses gradually returned and turned his head to glare at him.
Shen Ze knew he was in the wrong as he moved up to gently kiss him, so as to comfort him.
But Xiang Han turned away to avoid him, wearing an extremely aggrieved expression as he began to settle their debts, "Speak, how long have been planning this?"
"Not long, only a month." Shen Ze honestly confessed before continuing to approach him.
Xiang Han raised his hands to push him away, furiously spitting, "You didn't even ask me before, how could you just…just…"
Shen Ze took his hand and put a finger in his mouth, murmuring, "You're like an ostrich. If I don't act first, would you? Moreover, you clearly enjoyed it very much…"
"Who said so? Your techniques are so lousy!" Xiang Han exploded.
Shen Ze's teeth bit down, almost snapping his finger.
"Lousy?" He looked up, his tone growing unfriendly, "Then, why did you cry out in excitement?"
"That was… from the pain!" Xiang Han's tone sounded slightly unconfident. In the beginning it really did hurt, but after a while… cough cough.
Shen Ze had an extremely gloomy expression for a long time. He suddenly grabbed Xiang Han's calf, saying, "Since that's the case, let's practise a few more times."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Xiang Han panickedly kicked him in fright, making his waist ache, and he instantly grimaced.
"No way." Shen Ze dragged him back once more, his tone moody, "This matter concerns your future happiness. We must conduct thorough research."
Xiang Han kept dodging like his life depended on it and compromised, "Ok, ok, your technique is passable, passable."
"Just passable?" Shen Ze frowned, clearly wanting to continue this research.
Xiang Han hurriedly clutched at the blanket and hugged it to his chest, frantically correcting himself, "No no no. It was very good, extremely good!"
Shen Ze was finally appeased, gathering Xiang Han along with the blanket into his arms. Then, he began to talk nonsense in an upright tone, "Although you were very satisfied, there's no end to learning. I will continue to work hard."
Elder brother, is it good to believe in your own lies? Xiang Han bit at the blanket, crying internally.
Although Shen Ze had thickened his face and managed to stumble through the motions, being told by the person he liked that his technique was no good still made him unhappy. He held Xiang Han and resolved: starting from tomorrow, he would study earnestly. Next time, he would definitely make Little Han have a whole new level of respect for him.
After Xiang Han was embraced, he suddenly felt on edge. After all, they were both naked, if Shen Ze's inner beast was to wake up again…
And so, as soon as he'd rested enough, Xiang Han immediately got up to go shower.
Shen Ze also wanted to join, with the excuse being he had still not fully recovered from his wound and thus, it was inconvenient to shower alone.
Xiang Han's face was covered in black lines, he really wanted to ask: Do you still have any fucking face? You were fucking so energetically just then, but now you can't even shower?
"Probably because I exerted myself too much, both my leg and ribs hurt," Shen Ze lied. He said with a straight-face, his heartbeat regular and even his expression was especially serious.
Xiang Han's face darkened, he angrily said, "Who asked you to keep going? Serves you right!"
Shen Ze frowned, then deliberately said, "It was obviously you who kept biting me and refused to let me go. I just wanted to satisfy you, yet in the end you…"
"Enough." Xiang Han slammed the door with a 'bang', not wanting to hear another word.
Shen Ze stood outside the door, the corners of his mouth gradually curving into a smile. He looked extremely pleased with himself.
When Xiang Han came out, he had already cleaned up the room. Even the red rope and the gag had been sterilised at high heat, then carefully aired out.
After catching sight of those things, Xiang Han's complexion immediately worsened. Making sure that his clothes were closed and secured, he said, "Why are you still keeping these? Hurry up and throw them out!"
Shen Ze's movements paused, brows tightening as he looked at him, "But after that incident, I've developed a psychological shadow. In the future, I need to rely on these things in order to…"
"W-What?" Xiang Han was stupefied.
Shen Ze's mouth hooked up. He was definitely harbouring malicious intentions, yet pretended to find it embarrassing to speak of. "After being made impotent by your words, I found that…I need to rely on these things…to have a reaction."
Xiang Han, "…"
"Moreover, I can only react to you." Shen Ze added, thickening his face again.
"Liar." Xiang Han didn't believe it.
Shen Ze lowered his eyes and fell silent, but his whole body radiated an aura that seemed to cry, 'You don't believe me, I'm really hurt'.
Xiang Han was slightly embarrassed, "This…figure out this problem later. Let's talk about something else."
Shen Ze turned around, making sure the rope was drying properly, then walked over to sit beside him. He asked seriously, "Talk about what?"
"Cough," Xiang Han coughed quietly, and said, "I think your behaviour today was way over the line, I'm still in the middle of considering, yet you…"
"But when we were on the bed, you said you'd already thought over it and agreed." Shen Ze rubbed his fingertips.
Xiang Han answered resentfully, "I was forced by my circumstances. Moreover, I said to take it slow, but you…"
"Didn't I?" Shen Ze lifted his head, with a face full of puzzlement, "I stretched it out, and was really slow in the beginning, it was just that later on I couldn't help but….and you wanted to go fast one moment and slow the next, I…mmph."
"Enough, enough!" Xiang Han directly covered his mouth, angrily saying, "Who wants to discuss this sort of thing with you?"
Shen Ze directly licked at his palm, and Xiang Han snatched his hand back. Frowning, he asked, confused, "Then, what's the problem?"
"I'm talking about a romantic relationship. Shouldn't it progress step by step?"
Shen Ze thought about it, then said, "You like me, and I also like you. Isn't this the perfect situation? Why do we still have to take it slow?"
"When did I ever like you?" Xiang Han shot back.
Shen Ze was baffled, "Didn't you like me in the third year of school?"
Xiang Han: WTF?
Shen Ze saw his astonishment, and amended, "Later on, there was a period of time where you didn't like me, but now you definitely still do. I can feel it."
He intentionally emphasised that last sentence, as if he was convincing himself.
You can feel it, my ass! Xiang Han became speechless for a minute, then, "I never liked you."
Shen Ze looked at him, disbelieving. Pursing his lips, he suddenly said, "It's fine, I know you're feeling shy about it."
Xiang Han was now completely speechless. Itching with annoyance, he grabbed his ear and asked, "Where does this confidence of yours come from?"
Seeing that he would rather die than admit, Shen Ze couldn't help but lay down the facts, "At that time, you would come bother me every day, calling me brother, and throw shy glances at me, trying to get my attention."
What nonsense was this? Xiang Han absolutely refused to acknowledge it, snorting, "That was because I had just come into your family, and was still young. I was trying to curry favour with you, that's all."
Shen Ze frowned, suddenly uncertain. However, that was three, four years ago – there was no point bickering about it. Very quickly, he pulled himself together, "It's fine, as long as you like me now."
"Even now, I don't like you." Xiang Han glared at him, stubbornly refusing to admit it.
Hearing this, panic flashed through Shen Ze's eyes, and his chest grew stuffy as well. However, he quickly calmed down, "It doesn't matter, we can take it slowly."
Xiang Han snorted softly and didn't answer, thinking of himself, "So, as for what happened today, I'm very angry. If you ever do this again and do things willfully regardless of what I want, I, I'll…"
He carefully thought about it, then said, "I'll move out and go live at the school's dorm."
Now that the situation had reached this point, it would seem he had to walk the lover's route after all. But looking at Shen Ze's attitude, he clearly needed to be taught a lesson!
Shen Ze raised an eyebrow. Used to Xiang Han's temper, he realised he'd really offended him this time.
When it came to his wife, it was only natural that he needed coaxing. By all means, he couldn't let him really move out.
Shen Ze coughed lightly, and firmly promised, "Alright, from now on we'll go slowly, step by step."
By the time they finished talking, it was already one in the morning. Shen Ze thought to himself, since he had the energy to talk for so long, it seemed his own efforts were still not enough.
