After urging Xiang Han to sleep, he lay down beside him, taking out his phone and creating a post. The first post was 'My wife thinks my technique isn't good enough, is there a way to make him notice an improvement?', the second part was 'PS: We are both men'.
His second thread was 'My girlfriend thinks we're progressing too quickly, asking if courting is divided into different steps? How can I make progress incrementally?'
Under the first post, he received 8 types of G1 video files. Underneath the second post, Shen Ze replied and began to note down in order: 1, 2, 3, 4…
The next day, he rose early and once he finished preparing breakfast, he went to wake Xiang Han up.
Holding onto his old waist, Xiang Han shuffled over to the dining table, step by step.
He hadn't even taken more than a few bites when Shen Ze started to announce his plans, "We'll go out together in the afternoon, then go to the zoo. In the evening, we can go and see a movie. How is it?"
The corner of Xiang Han's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but hold to his waist as he asked, "Weren't your legs hurting?"
Suddenly, Shen Ze fixed his gaze onto him, his eyes full of adoration, and said slowly, "Baby, for you, I'm willing to bear with it."
The soup spoon in Xiang Han's hand fell with a 'clang'. In that moment, he became petrified.
Shen Ze couldn't help but frown, this reaction…how come it was different from what was written in the dating guide?
After quite a while, Xiang Han snapped out of it, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you take the wrong medication?"
Shen Ze's face went a bit dark, but he still maintained his smile, asking, "How does this plan sound? If you don't like it, we can change it."
"Change it, you have to change it!"
"Then, where do you want to go?" Thinking of the guide book, he added, "I'll listen to you."
Xiang Han, "Change it to staying at home and sleeping." Go out? His waist was almost broken.
Shen Ze, "…" This guide was bullshit. Completely useless.
Although he complained internally, he still took out his phone and silently flipped through his notes and asked tenderly, "Baby, why are you tired? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xiang Han nearly threw up his breakfast from this morning, gritting his teeth, "My back hurts."
Backache? This was a silent acknowledgement of his ability!
Shen Ze's confidence soared. After the meal, he quickly pushed Xiang Han to the sofa and began to speak affectionately, "Baby, come here and lie down. Your husband will give you a massage."
Xiang Han felt goosebumps rising and struggled back to his feet. Holding his sore waist, he asked nervously, "You're… Shen Ze?"
Furrowing his brows, Shen Ze nodded in confusion.
[Little Nine, quickly look. Has this person's soul been swapped?] Xiang Han was still suspicious and called System to check.
The System had secretly gone online the previous night and already knew what had happened. It helplessly said, [It's the original person, there's no change.]
Xiang Han finally relaxed before turning back to Shen Ze, "Can… Can you speak normally?"
He's not normal? Shen Ze nearly choked before he abruptly whipped out his phone with a dark expression and deleted the dating guide. Then, he pointed to his thighs and said, "Lie down, I'll give you a massage."
Letting out a breath of relief, Xiang Han secretly thought, he's finally back to normal.
Perhaps, his threat of 'moving out' was too lethal, but after they established their relationship, Shen Ze didn't do anything else apart from the occasional kisses and hugs. Even the red ropes had disappeared to god knew where.
Apart from being a little more intimate, the relationship between them didn't change much.
Xiang Han was extremely heartened, thinking that his teaching had borne fruit.
One semester was over in the blink of an eye and after returning home for winter break, Xiang Han was helping Shen Ze hang up his clothes when he noticed a luggage beneath the cupboard. Thinking that it was full of clothes, he wanted to hang them up too. However, the moment he unzipped it, he was instantly dumbfounded.
T-T-This… handcuffs? Bell-collar? Ropes?
"Shen Ze!"
Xiang Han straightened his back, hollering at the living room.
At this time, Shen Ze was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through the internet when he heard it. Putting down his laptop, he found Xiang Han and asked, "What is it?"
When he finally saw the items, a dark light flashed through his eyes. Then, he looked up and stared at Xiang Han with burning eyes.
Xiang Han quickly tightened his grip on his collar and pointed at those things, "Why… are they still here?" There were a few whose packaging hadn't even been opened.
Shen Ze coughed lightly, "You also know, I still have a psychological shadow from that time."
"T-Then, go look for a doctor." Xiang Han reluctantly rejected him, "In any case, you must throw these things away."
Shen Ze's brows furrowed, "But this is a result of my trauma and you are the cause. Wanting me to see a doctor, isn't it redundant to seek treatment from faraway when the cure is near?"
Xiang Han, "Uh…."
Shen Ze came closer and hugged his waist, "Little Han, let's try a few more times. Perhaps, it'll gradually…get better."
Saying so, he gently sucked Xiang Han's earlobes.
"No way." Xiang Han pushed him away, holding on to his collar tightly.
Shen Ze massaged his temple helplessly, "Little Han, you said to take things step by step, but we've already taken half a year just for one step."
"S-So?" Xiang Han suddenly regretted shouting earlier.
Shen Ze took another step closer and hugged his waist, "Because of you, I couldn't get it up. Shouldn't you take responsibility? In this kind of situation, the earlier we start treatment, the better it will be. What should I do if it becomes worse?"
"Really…Really because of what I said?" Xiang Han asked guiltily.
"En." Shen Ze nodded earnestly and even led him down by hand, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can try."
Xiang Han naturally moved back and then coincidentally, just before he could touch it, his hands pulled back.
Shen Ze saw his doubtful expression and continued his efforts, "If you can't accept it now, let's take it slow. For example… wearing the cat ears and only using hands…"
"Take it slowly? Are you planning to use it all at least once on me?" Xiang Han instantly exploded.
"Of course not," Shen Ze immediately denied before coaxing him, "What I mean is for you to choose the one you can accept. After all, my illness…"
Speaking till this point, he had 'difficulty' in continuing.
As expected, Xiang Han began to feel guilty again as he cautiously asked, "Only…using hands?"
"Of course." Shen Ze nodded with a slight smile.
Xiang Han's gaze fell on the pair of handcuffs and a bold idea suddenly surfaced in his mind. He reluctantly agreed, "Fine, then…"
Before the word 'then' even left his mouth, Shen Ze had already picked him up and headed towards bed. Pinning him down, he said, "Then, let's start now."
"Wait!" Xiang Han hurried to stop him as he tried to stall for time, "It's only noon right now, shouldn't we at least wait until it's night time?"
Shen Ze thought for a bit and also felt that this timing also wasn't good. There were some things that needed to be disinfected, and till then, he dared not use them on Xiang Han.
"But, let me just say, if anything unexpected happens, you can't get angry and you're not allowed to blame me," Xiang Han warned him.
"I won't." Shen Ze pecked him on the edge of his lips, extremely happy.
Therefore, both of them held back their thoughts.
After finishing dinner, just when Xiang Han was about to do the dishes, Shen Ze said, "Just put them in the sink, I'll clean them tomorrow."
Xiang Han knew what he was thinking about and snorted lightly. Shaking the water off his hands, he slowly walked into the bedroom.
Seeing him enter, Shen Ze quickly sat him down on the bed before taking out a pair of kitten ears for him to wear.
Xiang Han raised his hand to feel them, not saying anything.
Shen Ze asked again, "This bell collar too, okay?"
Xiang Han's face went dark but thinking of his plan, he reluctantly agreed to his whims.
Shen Ze helped him to fasten the bell before going to strip him. Xiang Han hurried to press his hand down, hesitating, "How would I know… you wouldn't use this opportunity to use the other things?"
Hearing the implication in his words, Shen Ze asked, "You're thinking…"
"I want you to put these on." Xiang Han pointed at the handcuffs.
Originally, Xiang Han also dared not do anything according to Shen Ze's character setting. However, since he had come knocking on his door, he wouldn't be courteous.
Shen Ze took a look at where he was pointing and agreed without another word.
Despite his doubts, Xiang Han fastened the pair of handcuffs over his wrists and even tested it. Seeing there didn't seem to be any problems, he finally relaxed.
Shen Ze sat upright, his expression stiff, "Dr. Shen, please give me a thorough check-up. Because of this, I haven't been able to make love with my wife for half a year."
Xiang Han's old face burned red, impressed by his ability to bullshit with a straight face.
"Relax, I guarantee that I will address the origin of the issue, my miraculous hands will definitely be able to bring you back into the springtime of youth."
Xiang Han also went along with his bullshit and didn't expect to see Shen Ze nod, staring at him with a fervent gaze. "En, then I anticipate your miraculous hands."
Xiang Han, "…"
Little Shen evidently didn't have any problems. Xiang Han only prodded it twice before it stood up with vigour.
Xiang Han's face became dark, "Didn't you say you were impotent?"
"Probably… because of the bell and the ears. Mhm, and… also because of the doctor's amazing skills," Shen Ze said between gasps.
Xiang Han's face reddened. He helped Shen Ze until both his hands ached before he finally reached climax.
Seeing that the other person was still immersed in the lingering passion, he quickly pushed the other person down and his hands crept towards a certain part. Who knew, once he reached out, his hands were immediately seized.
He instinctively looked down and saw Shen Ze looking up at him with an ambiguous smile.
Xiang Han was shocked, "You, weren't you…"
"I've practiced for half a year already, I can get out of this even with my eyes closed." Shen Ze smiled.
"Ha…ha…" Xiang Han laughed dryly, more determined than ever to pull his hands back, "That's it, t-today's treatment is over. I'm getting…getting off work now."
"Doctor, the root of my illness hasn't been treated. I think you need to work over-time."
Saying so, he pushed Xiang Han on the bed and turned over to pin him down. In one swift movement, he cuffed Xiang Han's wrists.
Xiang Han instantly panicked, blurting, "This is different from what we agreed, y-you can't— mmph."
Afraid of his crow's beak, Shen Ze quickly helped him put on the gag. Xiang Han wanted to cry but had no tears. Indeed, he shouldn't have tried.
