Exclusive Model for the Top Painter Chapter 32

Comforting the Lingering Longings of My Love

---

Liang Jin's face flushed a little from the drunkenness: "Since it's a dream, it doesn't matter what happens. It's strange, it seems like I want more than ever... to have you."

Ji Xiuyuan wrapped his arms around his waist and gradually tightened his grip.

"I'm just so despicable and cowardly," Liang Jin's eyes glistened with a hint of moisture at the bottom, "I can only possess you through dreams."

Ji Xiuyuan suddenly picked him up, and Liang Jin hung onto him, burying his head in the nook of his neck: "Ji Shen, I really like you."

Being gently placed on the bed, Liang Jin stared at Ji Xiuyuan's face in fascination.

And then he was violently pinned down, and Ji Xiuyuan leaned his head down to press his lips to his.

Liang Jin obediently tilted his head up and responded passionately to the intense kiss.

Their lips and tongues were so heated that the silence of the night was filled with the sound of fluids being devoured.

Liang Jin's eyes were surprisingly bright, and he smiled as he looked at Ji Xiuyuan, thinking only to carve his current appearance into his heart forever.

He had never seen Ji Shen like this before, soaked in lust, his body and mind corrupted in a state of aggression and madness.

Ji Xiuyuan's voice became particularly hoarse: "What are you smiling at?"

"You're so lustful now, Ji Shen."

"Is that so?" Ji Xiuyuan nibbled at his collarbone, "You should really see yourself." He untied Liang Jin's robe and brushed his fingers over the bright red buds, sliding down the waistline to touch the key object, "Xiao Jin, call my name."

Liang Jin's body trembled slightly with excitement, and he unconsciously wrapped his legs around Ji Xiuyuan's waist, tightening his arms around his neck. His moans went from faint to whimpering, his name on his mind in between indulgent lovemaking.

"... Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan."

The next morning, Liang Jin woke up in a daze.

Staring at the ceiling, his first reaction was: what an erotic dream I had last night! The Ji Shen from his dream was a little too fierce, but it was really exciting, I hope I can have such a dream again tonight.

This dream was a bit too real, wasn't it? Why did his body feel so sore?

He felt very puzzled until he turned around and saw Ji Xiuyuan's face.

Ji Xiuyuan was lying beside him.

Liang Jin was stunned, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Ji Xiuyuan's sleeping face was peaceful and from his angle, he could see his sexy collarbone, the hickeys on his neck and the finger marks on his shoulder.

This, this, this, this hickey could not have been made by him, could it?

These, these, these, these finger marks couldn't have been made by him, could it?

So, that wasn't a dream last night?

Oh my...

Oh my god!!!

He pretended to be crazy after drinking and slept with Ji Shen last night??

Liang Jin's brain refused to work, and he could only look at Ji Xiuyuan in a daze.

Only to see those nice eyelashes twitching. Ji Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at Liang Jin with a calm expression and a gentle smile, "Good morning."

Liang Jin pushed down all the emotions in his heart: "... Good morning."

Ji Xiuyuan half propped himself up and kissed the side of his face, "What do you want to eat this morning?"

"Anything, I guess."

"How are you feeling, are you uncomfortable anywhere? I already cleaned you up yesterday."

Realising the meaning of Ji Xiuyuan's words, Liang Jin's ears reddened slightly: "... I'm fine."

"Good," Ji Xiuyuan lifted the blanket and got half dressed, "I'll go and order breakfast, we'll have breakfast together later."

Liang Jin's heart beat fast as he lay on the bed and watched him dress with graceful movements.

It was only after Ji Xiuyuan left the room that Liang Jin slowly climbed out of bed.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he felt a little weak in the legs. In his heart, he spat out: I played too hard last night! I blame myself, I thought it was a dream so I was especially indulgent and even acquiesced to Ji Shen's repeated...

And now he was reaping what he sowed!

He swore to himself: never again!!!

When he finished washing up and came to the living room, Ji Xiuyuan was putting the congee in bowls and bringing it to the table: "Try it?"

Liang Jin sipped the congee in silence, unable to stop his thoughts from churning in his heart.

So, what exactly was his relationship with Ji Shen now?

One night stand, friend with benefits?

Liang Jin even thought humbly, it wasn't impossible to be friends with benefits.

But he immediately snuffed out the thought fiercely, no way! Can't be corrupted!

While drinking his congee, Liang Jin asked Ji Xiuyuan, "Ji Shen, how did you find me?"

"Cell phone GPS location."

Liang Jin was silent, he suddenly remembered that Ji Xiuyuan had once said that he wanted to place a camera on him...

"How much do you remember about last night?"

Liang Jin practically didn't need to remember, his mind kept playing various shameful and fragrant images in a loop.

Looking at his cheeks that were gradually turning red, Ji Xiuyuan laughed lowly, "Apart from that part, what else do you remember?"

"Ah, is there anything else?" Liang Jin's mind was full of messy dirty thoughts.

Ji Xiuyuan sighed helplessly, "Finished with the congee?"

"Mhmm."

"Follow me."

Ji Xiuyuan got up and walked towards the other room in the hotel suite.

Gently turning the door handle, there was an unusually romantic sight inside.

A gramophone record from the Civil War era played a lively tune, and pink flower petals were scattered on the floor. On the bed was a large bouquet of bright red roses, with a gift box beside it.

Ji Xiuyuan picked up the roses, "I meant to give them to you last night, but you were so drunk that you would have forgotten them when you turned your head."

Liang Jin froze in place, feeling that everything was so unreal, so unreal that he couldn't believe it: it turned out that the confession that Ji Shen had planned earlier was actually for him...

Ji Xiuyuan handed him the roses, "Xiao Jin, can I pursue you?"

Liang Jin took the roses and stammered, "Ji Shen... you mean..."

"I like you and want to be with you." Ji Xiuyuan took his hand and dropped a kiss on the back of it.

Liang Jin looked at Ji Xiuyuan with wide eyes, afraid that if he blinked, it would all disappear.

Ji Xiuyuan picked up the gift box, "Open it and take a look?"

Liang Jin placed the roses on a side table and opened the lid of the gift box to see a pair of small figurines.

On the left was a chibi of Ji Xiuyuan, the birthday present Liang Jin had given him earlier.

On the right was another chibi figurine, which looked exactly like him.

He poked the little figurine's face and asked, "Ji Shen, did you make this?"

"Mhmm," Ji Xiuyuan said, "they come in pairs."

"What should I do, Ji Shen," Liang Jin's eyes looked up at Ji Xiuyuan, "my liking for you is soaring in an exponential explosion right now, and I can't stop anymore."

Ji Xiuyuan looked back at him seriously, "Don't stop, like more, like me more."

———

After establishing their relationship, they were supposed to go back to A City together.

But Liang Jin had some luggage at home that he hadn't picked up, so Ji Xiuyuan planned to go with him.

When they heard that Ji Xiuyuan was coming to their home again, Liang Jin's parents were overjoyed and insisted they stay for dinner.

Liang Jin had planned to take his luggage and leave, but had to stay at home for a while longer.

His father even threatened him, "If you dare to leave without eating, you will never eat at home again."

However, who exactly it was that his father wanted to keep could be guessed with the heels of his feet.

Since they got up so late, breakfast was actually lunch, and it was almost dinner time when they arrived at Liang Jin's house.

During the meal, Liang Ci said, "It's so late in the day, why don't you guys just stay and leave tomorrow?"

Of course, Ji Xiuyuan had no problem with this, as sharing a room with Liang Jin was exactly what he was looking for.

Liang Jin also had no objection, as the look his father was giving him implied that he was not allowed to have an opinion.

After dinner, the two went to their room and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

Liang Jin said, "Ji Shen, let me show you something!" He squatted down, took out a vintage iron box from under the bed and opened it. Inside was a box full of marbles and comics. He took out a set of golden legend cards as if offering a treasure: "These took me a long time to collect!"

Ji Xiuyuan rubbed his hair, "How old are you, Xiao Jin?"

"Twenty-three, why?!" Liang Jin narrowed his eyes, "Who says adults can't like these?"

"It's nothing," Ji Xiuyuan sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at him, "There's absolutely nothing out of place about you playing these cards."

Liang Jin felt his pride was being violently attacked, he stood up and lifted Ji Xiuyuan's chin: "Ji Shen, be careful, I'll forcefully kiss you."

Ji Xiuyuan blinked: "How can you force a kiss, like this?" He wrapped his arm around Liang Jin's waist, sat him on his lap and covered his lips.

Liang Jin placed the box on the bed and wrapped his arms around the back of his neck.

Hot, humid, lingering breaths intertwined in a gentle, delicate chase and peck.

The kiss was quiet and long, full of the sweetness and throbbing of first love. The gasps and whimpers were subdued and beautiful, neither one willing to let go of the other, as if they were willing to fuse flesh and blood and never be separated.

The sudden knock on the door broke the silence, and Liang Jin was so frightened that he pushed Ji Xiuyuan away and bounced off him.

At that moment, Liang Ci pushed the door open and looked suspiciously at Liang Jin, who was standing at the side, "Why are you standing there?"

"I just want to stand here, can't I? What's the matter in the middle of the night? You're disturbing people's rest."

Liang Ci looked down at his wristwatch, "It's only half past seven, resting? Do you usually go to bed before midnight? Besides, I'm not here to find you." He smiled at Ji Xiuyuan, "Mr. Ji, what would you like to eat tomorrow morning? I'll ask Xiao Jin's mother to prepare it in advance."

"Thank you," Ji Xiuyuan asked, "What does Xiao Jin like to eat?"

"You don't have to worry about him."

"I'll eat whatever he likes."

Liang Ci directed a touched glare at Liang Jin, "Look at Mr. Ji, how good he is to you and how much he cares about you. You shouldn't be so big-headed, you should be more considerate of others."

"Dad, why are you saying something so strange?"

"What's strange? Don't think about what's wrong, just treat Mr. Ji well, okay?"

"Oh."

Liang Ci nodded at Ji Xiuyuan, "Then I won't disturb your rest, Mr. Ji, I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After Liang Ci went out, he even thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Ji Xiuyuan quietly held Liang Jin's wrist and teased, "Xiao Jin, your father told you to, treat me well."

Liang Jin said, "Ji Shen, you've changed."

"Hmm?"

"Aren't you abstinent?"

"With others, of course I'm abstinent." Ji Xiuyuan pulled him into his arms, "With you, it's naturally different."

Liang Jin thought back to last night...

His heart inexplicably flinched a little: "Take, take a shower first!"

Ji Xiuyuan kissed him on the lips, "Okay."

"Let's be clear, tonight is not like yesterday! I was drunk yesterday and you were taking advantage of someone."

"Mmm."

Ji Xiuyuan agreed without hesitation, it was not up to him to decide what to do when the time came anyway.
