Yu Zhinian didn't know how he got home.

When he closed the door, the light in the entrance hall automatically came on. He leaned his back against the door panel and didn't move. Not long after, the light in the entrance hall automatically went out.

He couldn't think for the moment, his heart was still pounding.

He originally thought that he and Xiao Yichi would never see each other again, he never thought that the other party would launch a surprise counterattack. Xiao Yichi finally said to him, "Lawyer Yu, see you tomorrow."

How did he feel? Surprised? Overwhelmed?

Perhaps there was no aversion. In the bathroom, the hot water from the shower poured over Yu Zhinian's back. He lowered his head, his hand jerking the hard part of his body.

Tilting his head back, he stifled a grunt. The white turbidity shot up the wall, and with the water, ran down.

Yu Zhinian narrowed his eyes and gasped, his chest heaving up and down.

If it was more impulse than affection for Xiao Yichi, why was his body so aroused at this point – Why was it so excited after hearing what Xiao Yichi said?

He wanted to lick the bruises on his face, wanted him to kneel down, to suck his cock, and then he would cum on his face.

Yu Zhinian swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

He had another erection.

He would lick the bruises all over his body, starting from his ankles, and then thrust hard, making him gasp, making him moan, making him look soft and innocent underneath him, listening to him beg for forgiveness when his lust was high, listening to him sweetly call out in his ear after he was satisfied "Zhinian ..."

The lust eventually flowed away with the water.

Yu Zhinian came out of the bathroom, put on his pyjamas and lay down on the bed. He turned his head to look at Snoopy beside the pillow, muttering to himself, "... Tell me, what should I do with your new friend?"

Tomorrow.

What tricks will he pull tomorrow?

Yu Zhinian closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Early in the morning.

Tang Wancheng yawned and lazily leaned against the kitchen door, watching Xiao Yichi humming a little tune as he filtered coffee.

Xiao Yichi called her last night, wanting equipment to brew black coffee, which had to be ready for use early in the morning, saying that he "had to chase someone" and asked her to "hurry up and get it ready". Thus, the housekeeper immediately contacted the catering department and the hotel kitchen, saying that the guest on the top floor wanted to make coffee themselves in the morning, so please cooperate in arranging the equipment.

"Tang Tang, come, thank you for the gift." Xiao Yichi turned around and delivered the first cup of brewed black coffee to her hand, "Thank you for being so helpful!" He said this with his two eyes curved in a smile, very happy.

"Who is the other party, such a big name..." Tang Wancheng held her coffee and curled her lips.

"I'll tell you when the time comes." Yu Zhinian and Tang Wancheng now had a working relationship, Xiao Yichi didn't want either of them to have a hard time, so he should hide it for as long as he could first.

The rich, bitter aroma lifted her spirits. Tang Wancheng looked at the full cup of coffee and no longer paid it any mind.

Waking up from a long sleep, Yu Zhinian turned off his cell phone alarm.

After washing up, he checked his cell phone messages and Xiao Yichi sent him a big smiley face emoji: Good morning, Lawyer Yu~!

Can you let me know when you wake up?

Yu Zhinian tapped on the cell phone keyboard a few times, but his fingers stopped for a moment, and he deleted everything and eventually replied with a single character: Mhmm.

Xiao Yichi saw it and smiled. This sultry man. He replied with an emoji of a rabbit kneeling, with the text: Thank you for replying, Big Brother!

After Yu Zhinian was fully dressed, he picked up his cell phone and the corner of his mouth moved slightly.

He drove out of the neighbourhood and, to his surprise, met Nie Sangning at the entrance to the neighbourhood.

Yu Zhinian lowered the car window, "Why are you here?"

"Zhinian," Nie Sangning was cheerful and approached his car, carrying a paper bag in his hand, "I came to surprise you, I brought breakfast."

Yu Zhinian parked his car on the side of the road and got out. Nie Sangning took out a cup of coffee from the bag and handed it to him, "I've noticed that you haven't been in good spirits in the mornings these past few days, and I'm a little worried. This is an improved version of the black coffee, it's better than the one that was hastily brewed before, would you like to try it?" He also pulled out the croissant, which was so hot that he could feel it was freshly baked through the paper bag.

"How did you know about this place?" Yu Zhinian took it.

"Xiao Jing told me. Don't blame him, I'm the one who's too annoying for him." Nie Sangning lowered his eyes in embarrassment, then raised them again. The angle was just right, very stunning.

"Have you eaten?" Yu Zhinian's expression was unmoving, referring to breakfast.

Nie Sangning shook his head, "No, mine is in the bag too," he smiled, "I wanted to eat with you."

Yu Zhinian looked at his phone, no new messages. "... Get in the car. The side of the road isn't a suitable place."

"Okay!" Nie Sangning made his way to the passenger seat.

The car drove several minutes away.

Xiao Yichi walked out from around the corner.

He carried his breakfast and came in high spirits, and was about to call Yu Zhinian when he found Nie Sangning standing at the entrance to the neighbourhood.

His looks were so conspicuous that it would be impossible not to recognise him.

Nie Sangning was carrying a bag in his hand, obviously waiting for someone. He looked around in a bored manner, and Xiao Yichi immediately hid around the corner.

What was he hiding for? He should have walked over to him with a big smile and greeted him, "Hi, good morning! Are you waiting for someone? Just in time, so am I!" Then they would wait for Yu Zhinian to come out, and both of them would step forward at the same time to see what he had to say.

He didn't want to artificially create a dog blood scene, nor did he want Yu Zhinian to be troubled.

Nie Sangning arrived earlier than him. He was also a person with a heart.

Xiao Yichi quietly poked his head out. Yu Zhinian got out of the car and was talking to Nie Sangning. Nie Sangning handed him a cup and a bag, presumably his breakfast.

Before long, the two got into the car and left.

Xiao Yichi stood still and looked down at the breakfast in his bag.

It's okay, it doesn't matter.

It's never things that defeat people, but emotions. He gently patted his cheeks and was once again full of energy – He had only just started, there was still a lot he could do!

Yu Zhinian went back to the law firm first to handle his work. Nan Jing took the initiative to enter the office, rather like taking credit for something, "Boss, you look good today!"

Yu Zhinian looked up at him. Nan Jing shuddered. "I think you should call someone else boss, not me."

Nan Jing understood and immediately expressed his loyalty, "Boss, my loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon!" He continued, "Someone as outstanding as Boss should be matched with someone equally outstanding, Brother Sangning is such a good match for you, and he's quite fond of you. Helping someone in marriage is a great merit!"

Since seeing Nie Sangning make coffee with his own eyes, Nan Jing's good feelings towards the other party gently rose. They added each other on WeChat and contacted each other from time to time; after learning that Nie Sangning was interested in Yu Zhinian, he helped him out.

"Thank you for worrying about my marriage. How about you do a better job at work so I can have more private time, and I'll work out my marriage on my own?" To put it in Yu Zhinian's language, it was "Do more work, mind your own business."

Nan Jing could only nod.

In order to open a branch of the Wan Nian Art Gallery in this city, it wasn't only necessary for it to be fully licensed and built, after all, it was a cultural industry that needed popularity, endorsement, publicity, and exhibitions, all of which were inseparable from the support of the local cultural community. This piece of external contact was Nie Sangning's strong point.

So today, Tang Wancheng and Yu Zhinian continued the work of site selection. During the break, Yu Zhinian smiled at Tang Wancheng and said, "You're particularly energetic today."

"That's right. Yichi gave me a cup of black coffee early in the morning, making my nerves all excited even now." Tang Wancheng pointed to her head and smiled.

"Oh?" Yu Zhinian raised an eyebrow.

"I'm just benefiting from the fact that he's giving it to his sweetheart."

Tang Wancheng made an idle remark. "Right, I need to ask him how things are going." Tang Wancheng took out her cell phone and started to type a message.

Xiao Yichi hadn't told Tang Wancheng that he liked him. Otherwise Tang Wancheng wouldn't have reacted the way she did.

Due to his job, Yu Zhinian had seen a lot of tactics used by clients to pursue others. Xiao Yichi held Tang Wancheng's trump card in his hand, and with Tang Wancheng's level of trust in him, Xiao Yichi could do a lot of things.

But until now, there was no trace of the black coffee that was "given to his sweetheart" to drink.

Yu Zhinian thought back to the scene in the morning.

"Ai! This fool! Even a nicely packed coffee can be spilled, what's going on?" Tang Wancheng muttered, her fingers typing fast.

Yu Zhinian quietly left the scene.

He called the neighbourhood property management department, saying that he needed to check the morning's CCTV for something, and asked them to help with playback and screenshots.

Under the clear white sun, in the garden, in place of the Freudian large red roses, there were creamy yellow Lady of Shalott roses, gradient pink Rong Rong Yue roses, and honey purple Kong Meng European roses.

The doorbell rang.

"Coming!" Auntie Pan came to answer the door. She opened the door, and Xiao Yichi was standing outside the small iron gate to the garden, smiling at her and waving, "Hello Auntie!"

The sun was shining brightly, and the colourful flowers on both sides seemed to stretch out from under his feet, laying out a carpet of flowers for the returnees.

"Yichi?" Auntie Pan was overjoyed and quickly walked over to open the door for him. She approached and stood still as she took a closer look. It really was Xiao Yichi. She thought she wouldn't be able to see him again because Yu Zhinian had said they wouldn't meet again.

Sitting down in the living room, Auntie Pan asked in distress, "Why is your face injured?" She looked him up and down, and her whole being darkened.

"I went out of town to volunteer, I had a small accident and got hurt, it's nothing serious." Xiao Yichi responded simply and asked eagerly, "Auntie, how have you been lately?"

Auntie Pan's life had been so-so lately. Facing Yu Zhinian, of course she didn't say anything, but in her heart, she was always sorry and regretful.

Now that she saw Xiao Yichi again, she was overcome with emotion and only smiled, "Good, very good." She held Xiao Yichi's hand, "Will you stay at Auntie's place for dinner tonight? Auntie will make you delicious food!"

"Okay!" The corner of Xiao Yichi's mouth lifted up as he confessed, "Auntie, I won't hide it from you, I'm pursuing Lawyer Yu. If I can, I want to come to your place every day. Near the water, first come first served." After saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment first.

 "Aiya!" Auntie Pan clapped her hands excitedly, "This is great!" Today was really a good day, full of surprises. "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely help you!"

Xiao Yichi was grateful, "Thank you Auntie!"

Auntie Pan tried to calm herself down. She looked at Xiao Yichi, "It's Auntie who should thank you for not giving up on Zhinian."

"Lawyer Yu is very good, I like him."

At these words, Auntie Pan was moved, "'A person is like a rainbow, only when you meet them will you know how wonderful they are.' Yichi, you must be such a person to Zhinian. I hope Zhinian is such a presence to you as well."

On his side, Yu Zhinian had just finished watching the short surveillance video sent to him by the property management of the neighbourhood when he received two messages from Auntie Pan one after another, saying that she was very happy today and that she would be cooking a table of good food in the evening, so he should definitely come for dinner.

Auntie Pan would rarely send him such messages.

It seemed that someone had resurrected full of vigour quite quickly, and had opened up a second route.

"Lawyer Yu, are you in a good mood?" Tang Wancheng finished messaging with Xiao Yichi on her end, and turned her head to look at Yu Zhinian, who was sitting back in his seat with a rather relaxed expression.

Yu Zhinian smiled, without any flaws, "I can't help but relax when I think about how smoothly this part of my work has come to an end for the time being."

Tang Wancheng looked envious and jealous, "The busiest part of my work is just about to begin!" As a foreign species, she had to socialise and deal with the local cultural circles to pave the way for the smooth settlement of the branch. "Okay, take a good rest for now, you'll be busy in the future."

Thus, Yu Zhinian brightly retired early and went to Auntie Pan's house, arriving just in time for the meal.

Xiao Yichi heard the movement at the door, said a word to Auntie Pan, and immediately ran to the entrance. "Lawyer Yu, you're back!"

Yu Zhinian was changing his shoes. Hearing the sound, he turned his head sideways, straightened up and asked knowingly, "Why are you here?"

"Heh heh, wherever you are, I'm there~" Not waiting for Yu Zhinian to respond, Xiao Yichi stretched out his hand from behind. In the palm of his hand was a red tomato, "This is what I picked under Auntie's guidance, the others are ready to cook, I kept this to show you the fruits of my labour!" Smiling smugly, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.

Yu Zhinian looked at him, and then looked at the tomato, only giving an "oh".

Xiao Yichi was dissatisfied and took the tomato back, "That's it?"

Yu Zhinian raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you want?"

Xiao Yichi smiled with a tilted head, "Praise!"

Where was the cautious look he had this morning when he hid around the corner and quietly poked his head out? Indeed, he should be praised for his strong resilience.

"When you figure out all the vegetables in the field, it won't be too late for me to praise you." Yu Zhinian left behind a sentence and schlepped off to the kitchen to greet Auntie Pan.

Xiao Yichi looked at his back and cursed internally.

The poor tomato ended up being part of the plate of food.

After the meal, Auntie Pan brought out lychee cold-brewed jasmine tea and gave them a cup each. She pulled Xiao Yichi over and said quietly, "I'm going over to give drinks to the neighbours I know well and won't be back until later. You and Zhinian, cultivate your feelings."

Xiao Yichi gave Auntie Pan a thumbs up, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Yu Zhinian was standing by the door leading out to the backyard, leisurely sipping his floral tea.

"Auntie is delivering the floral tea to the neighbours she knows well." Xiao Yichi walked over to Yu Zhinian with the tea.

"Mhmm."

Xiao Yichi also took a sip. The cold tea was slightly bitter with the sweetness of lychee and the fragrance of jasmine. A shallow sip refreshed his heart.

He remembered the cup of coffee that was not delivered in the morning. In the end, it was a bit regrettable. But he didn't want to get into a competition with Nie Sangning, because Yu Zhinian wasn't an object, and it wasn't like Yu Zhinian belonged to whoever fought over him.

Xiao Yichi weighed it and said, "Lawyer Yu, are you free... tomorrow morning?" If he made an appointment with Yu Zhinian, and if Nie Sangning reappeared, he could also go up to him in a big way; if Nie Sangning made an appointment earlier than he did, then he had to understand, and then think of other ways to do it.

Yu Zhinian cushioned his teacup in his palm, "I'm staying here tonight."

Xiao Yichi was overjoyed, "Really? Then can I come over and have breakfast with you tomorrow?" This place was simply his home ground.

Yu Zhinian looked at him. Xiao Yichi's eyes were glowing, twinkling.

Obviously he was the one who was chasing someone, so why did he feel like he was also labouring. Yu Zhinian looked down at his teacup, calm and unruffled, "Xiao Yichi."

"Hmm?"

"Can I understand it as, you have a favour to ask of me?" Yu Zhinian looked at him again with a playful expression.

Xiao Yichi blinked.

This sentence, it was too familiar.

Xiao Yichi suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, biting his lip and rubbing his head without saying anything.

Yu Zhinian continued to parrot, only the rhythm was a little more leisurely, and the tone was a little more teasing, "I have no patience, let me ask again, you have a favour to ask of me, right?"

Xiao Yichi pursed his lips, simply laying back and letting him play, "Yes."

"I can't hear you."

Xiao Yichi laughed and turned up the volume, "I said I have a favour to ask of you."

Yu Zhinian smiled. It wasn't the business smile of a socialite, nor was it a perfunctory one that was tongue-in-cheek. It was genuine, happy, and with a bit of triumphant evil.

It tickled Xiao Yichi's heart. He wanted to get close to him, to stick to him, to kiss him, to have sex with him.

His body had been in a drought for a long time and wanted to be moistened by sweet rains.

Yu Zhinian noticed the change in Xiao Yichi's gaze.

It was extremely easy to spark a fire between them. The two people who were at opposite ends of the spectrum were like the north and south poles of a magnet in terms of lust, as long as they were a little bit too close, they would be tightly attached to each other.

Yu Zhinian's body turned towards Xiao Yichi, the hand holding the teacup grasped the mouth of the cup and hung down to his side.

It was almost like a silent invitation. Inviting him over, into his arms.

Xiao Yichi intended to take a step closer. But he fought to stop his movement. He met Yu Zhinian's line of sight, his tone resigned and firm, "Yu Zhinian, I don't just want your body, I also want your heart. With you, I want to receive a status."

Not satisfied with an unclear intermingling of bodies. How greedy, he wanted so much.

"So I will endure."

The tightening pain in his lower abdomen turned into a tightening pain in his heart. Yu Zhinian felt that Xiao Yichi was the most advanced hunter – bold, daring, perseverant, with the most sincere attitude, luring you into the net.

He resumed sipping his tea, "... What you do, is your freedom."

Xiao Yichi's expression was slightly defeated. He quickly gathered his strength and laughed, "Then I'll come over early tomorrow and bring you good coffee!"

At night, as Yu Zhinian prepared to go to sleep, he noticed that Xiao Yichi had sent him a voice message.

"Zhinian, you have the freedom to not endure. If, and I mean if, you have sex with someone else, can you tell me?"

Not long after, he sent another message, "No, it's better if you don't tell me, don't say anything."

A little while later, "... Zhinian." A long silence, "Can you... be patient with me?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just rambling, so don't mind. As compensation, can I read you a few sentences in English?"

"You not only employ my mind all day but you intrude upon my sleep."

"I meet you in every dream, and when I wake I cannot close my eyes again"

"For ruminating on your sweetness."

Ruminating on your sweetness.

Yu Zhinian's brain emptied for a moment. For a moment, he stopped the hand in his underwear and calmed his turbulent breath.

Fangya Ji is a charity organisation that brings together the city's celebrities and regularly conducts auctions, receptions, parties and other activities to raise money for various charitable causes. Of course, you can't participate in the activities of Fangya Ji just because you want to, you have to be introduced by an acquaintance to enter the organisation.

Yu Zhinian, as a matchmaker, introduced Tang Wancheng to the celebrities at the reception. Tang Wancheng, being who she is, quickly mingled with all the discerning ladies. In the course of conversation and laughter, she had already gained admission to an upcoming charity banquet.

On the night of the banquet, Tang Wancheng was flanked by Yu Zhinian on her left and Nie Sangning on her right, and she entered with them on her arms, which was quite a sight to behold. Although the two men were gay, beauty does not distinguish between men and women, beautiful and popular people can be appreciated by everyone.

Only after Yu Zhinian took his seat did Tang Wancheng excitedly tell him, "I bought a performance spot tonight, so Lawyer Yu should not miss the good show later." To perform on stage, one had to first donate a sponsorship fee. At the end of the show, guests on stage could donate as much as they wished, and all the money would be donated to charities such as Beautiful Earth.

For the first show, Nie Sangning appeared on stage. Some people are handsome in person, but they can't stand the bright lights of the stage. But not Nie Sangning. He can withstand the test from any angle. On stage, he was naturally attractive to the spotlight, and with his previous modelling experience, he handled the situation with ease.

He performed a song called "Always On My Mind".

His voice was neither too thin nor too thick, but just right, and every note fell on the heartstrings. Halfway through his song, most of the guests on the stage were already highly enthralled.

Yu Zhinian looked at him on the stage, and remembered that winter. The two nested in a small apartment, each with one side of the headphones, listening to a CD and singing to each other with deep emotion. Regardless of the rhythm and lyrics, while singing and smiling, their hearts and eyes are full of each other – Your presence in front of me is enough.

Nie Sangning's love was deep, when he sang "give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied", his eyes focused on Yu Zhinian.

When he finished singing, he bowed deeply. The applause from the audience was thunderous, and countless small colourful pieces of paper were sprayed out from the two cannons on the sides. The atmosphere was once very enthusiastic.

This was a long-planned attempt to curry favour. Quite a lot of effort went into it.

Yu Zhinian calmly left the scene and went to an unoccupied side hall balcony.

Shortly after.

"Zhinian." Yu Zhinian turned his head at the sound, it was Nie Sangning. He wore heavy make-up on his face, but his features were good and hung together without feeling exaggerated.

"You sang very well." Yu Zhinian smiled and congratulated him. "Everyone will remember the name 'Wan Nian Art Gallery' now."

"... This song speaks from my heart." Nie Sangning approached him and said sincerely, "I'm very sorry for what I've done. I didn't dare to come back to face you, but I, for one, never forgot you. Only now do I dare to say that I've matured and know how to treat my feelings. Can you, give me another chance?"

The current Yu Zhinian was like a brick wall, Nie Sangning couldn't find a breakthrough, so he had no choice but to ask Tang Wancheng for help.

Yu Zhinian lowered his eyes. After a while, he raised his eyes, "Sangning."

Nie Sangning's heart rose into his throat.

"We'd be better off maintaining our working relationship. After so many years, we should all look forward."

Yu Zhinian left Nie Sangning where he was to slowly digest the situation, and went back to the venue himself first.

In Nie Sangning's impression, Yu Zhinian was not someone who would say "look forward". He didn't believe Yu Zhinian had crossed the hurdle of "first love".

Nie Sangning took a breath to compose himself.

He had already decided to have someone check Yu Zhinian's movements first to see if there was anything fishy.

In the venue, there was singing and dancing.

Yu Zhinian and Nie Sangning behaved as usual, not a single ripple in their appearance. Tang Wancheng, who was quietly observing from the side, was not satisfied and could only lament that the two of them could really hide things.

Outside Yu Zhinian's neighbourhood, there was a man who kept circling around the neighbourhood who couldn't hide anything.

Xiao Yichi learnt that Nie Sangning was going to sing a song at the dinner party to win back his old love when he chatted with Tang Wancheng on the phone today.

He hesitated to speak on the other end of the phone. He told himself that Nie Sangning also had the right to pursue his love, and he could not interfere.

Moreover, this was a part of Tang Wancheng's promotion of the art gallery, and he couldn't interfere; besides, the right to choose was in Yu Zhinian's hands, and if he was really touched by Nie Sangning and the two were going to get back together, he should give him his blessing.

So what was he doing walking around in front of someone else's house?

There was no other way, the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. His heart ran to his feet, and his feet brought him here.

He complained about how he fell in love with a stuffy and vindictive man who was unclear with his ex. He also blamed himself for not confessing to Tang Wancheng, otherwise, with his relationship with Tang Wancheng, how would Nie Sangning have the opportunity to sing on stage?

Ai. Xiao Yichi took out his cell phone and sent a message to Tang Wancheng: "Tang Tang, is the dinner over?"

He prayed that Yu Zhinian and Nie Sangning would return safely.

He consoled himself with the thought that if Yu Zhinian and Nie Sangning really got back together, Tang Wancheng would definitely gossip about them. There was no news yet, so the two of them definitely didn't make it.

But Xiao Yichi couldn't resist and started walking again. If he didn't walk, he would only be more upset.

What about calling Yu Zhinian?

Ai. Previously, he was generous and said "you have the freedom not to endure", but now he wanted to call and check in, which seemed to be particularly narrow-minded. Moreover, what if Yu Zhinian and Nie Sangning were getting cosy?

Just as he was hesitating, the neighbourhood security guard approached him with a flashlight, "Hey, you over there, I saw you walking around here, is something wrong?"

Xiao Yichi subconsciously blocked the blinding light with his hand.

The security guard approached, "It's the middle of the night, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave, lest you be mistaken for someone suspicious, right?"

Ai, even being treated as a suspicious person, Xiao Yichi was depressed. "... I'm waiting for someone, I'll leave when he comes back."

"Then give that person a call ah, confirm that the other party is a resident, so I can do my job."

Suddenly there was a less glamorous but legitimate reason to call Yu Zhinian.

When the cell phone in his coat pocket vibrated, Yu Zhinian was exchanging polite pleasantries with the bigwigs of the bar association who had come to the banquet.

The performance part of the banquet had ended and it was now free time. Everyone left their tables and socialised around. Tang Wancheng took her place amongst the bejewelled and glamorous celebrities, and she and Nie Sangning were surrounded by a steady stream of people.

Yu Zhinian took out his cell phone, and when he saw the caller ID read "Xiao Yichi", he apologised to the bigwigs.

He walked a few steps away and answered, "Hello?"

"Hello? Is this Mr. Yu Zhinian?" The security guard's tone was quite respectful, after all, he couldn't afford to mess with any of the people in this neighbourhood, let alone this reputable Lawyer Yu. "I am the security guard of Xingyue Bay. Right now there is a Mr. Xiao Yichi here waiting for you outside the community gate, what do you think, how should I deal with this matter?"

"Please put him on the phone."

"Okay." The security guard handed the phone back to Xiao Yichi.

Xiao Yichi took it, feeling sheepish, "Hello?"

"What happened?"

The grievance burst into his head. I was afraid that you would run away with someone else, I knew that it would be useless, but I still came to the neighbourhood gate and waited, so "I was treated as a suspicious person, the security guard asked me to call you to confirm that we know each other."

Yu Zhinian on the other end probably guessed what was going on. After all, the community security guards were not idle, if he didn't do anything suspicious, how could he be treated as a suspicious person?

"Turn on speakerphone, I'll talk to the security guard."

Xiao Yichi did as he was told. "Comrade Security Guard, you've worked hard, I will call the property management association to explain, this Mr. Xiao is an acquaintance of mine, please let him come into the clubhouse and have a seat, I'll come back now."

"Ai, okay okay, no problem, take your time!"

Ending the call, the security guard was polite to Xiao Yichi, completing the registration formalities for him and also guiding him to the clubhouse.

Xiao Yichi's mind was occupied by the fact that Yu Zhinian was coming back. The fingerprint lock opened with a click. Yu Zhinian looked at Xiao Yichi and asked him to enter the house first.

Xiao Yichi hesitantly entered the door. Yu Zhinian picked him up at the clubhouse but didn't say anything.

What about him and Nie Sangning? Would he think he was playing a trick to sabotage his reunion with his old love?

Thinking like this made Xiao Yichi's heart sour.

Yu Zhinian went into the kitchen and poured Xiao Yichi a glass of water, then came out and handed it to him.

Xiao Yichi took it and asked sullenly, "... Are you and Mr. Nie, back together?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Tang Tang mentioned it today, you guys were going to a dinner party tonight, and Mr. Nie wanted to use a song to show his love and ask to get back together."

Yu Zhinian felt like he witnessed how a good hand was spoiled by Xiao Yichi himself.

".. Didn't you say that if I find out that Nie Sangning is my true love in the end, I should love him properly? I thought you were quite open-minded."

Yu Zhinian was such a bastard, always using his own words to spite him, leaving him with no rebuttal. Yes, he had said that. He regretted it and was dying because of how uncomfortable it was.

"I'm taking it back. Can we pretend I didn't say that?" Only a rascal could deal with a bastard.

The uneasiness underneath his rascal act, Yu Zhinian felt it. "Nie Sangning and I, we didn't get back together."

"Really?" Xiao Yichi almost jumped up to confirm.

"If I got back together with him, I wouldn't be here now."

"That's right oh." Xiao Yichi let out a huge sigh of relief and smiled stupidly.

Yu Zhinian unbuttoned his tuxedo jacket and took it off, "I remember you even sent me a voice message telling me not to pay attention to your nonsense. So can I have sex with someone else?"

"... I'm taking that one back too. You can't." Xiao Yichi watched Yu Zhinian undo his bow tie.

"What else do you need to take back?" Yu Zhinian removed his cufflinks and unbuckled his waistband.

Xiao Yichi swallowed his saliva, and was very spineless, "How about... we don't endure it?"

In front of a powerful temptation, reason should not exist.

Yu Zhinian raised his eyebrows and squinted at him, "You were able to hold back last time because I didn't take off my clothes?"

Xiao Yichi laughed, "I don't know, why don't you take off more and find out?"

Yu Zhinian moved closer to him, gently jamming the tiger's mouth with one hand on Xiao Yichi's jaw and teaching him personally, "At this time, you should take the initiative. You should devote yourself to pleasing me, let me indulge, make me addicted, and maybe, you'll be able to get my heart."

The water in Xiao Yichi's peach blossom eyes was misty, "... Really?"

Yu Zhinian whispered compulsively, "Will you try?"

Xiao Yichi moved, unbuttoning Yu Zhinian's shirt.

Unbuttoning one, he kissed the exposed skin with a nip.

When he got to the bulging part of his trousers, he looked up, "Teacher Yu, how do you deal with this? Can you teach me again?"

"Take it in your mouth, then let the cum shoot all over your face."

"As you command."

The cell phone alarm rang. Yu Zhinian slowly opened his sleepy eyes.

A messy head of hair came into view. He blinked his eyes and his consciousness returned.

Xiao Yichi was nestled in his arms, with one hand on his waist and one leg across his lap, sleeping like a piglet.

Yu Zhinian turned around with difficulty, picked up the cell phone at the head of his bed, and turned off the alarm. He sent a message to Nan Jing, he won't be going to the law firm this morning. Nan Jing quickly replied.

He put the cell phone away. The sleeping Xiao Yichi was dissatisfied with his pillow moving around, twisting his body and frowning.

Yu Zhinian looked at him and stopped moving. Xiao Yichi unconsciously searched for a comfortable position, and was satisfied as his arms and legs hugged the pillow tightly.

This kind of scene happened more than once.

Sometimes Xiao Yichi would grin, presumably having some kind of good dream; sometimes he would smack his mouth, like he had eaten something delicious in his dream.

Yu Zhinian looked at him for a while, then gently removed Xiao Yichi's hands and feet and got up to get out of bed.

Unlike in the past, Snoopy was sitting on the chair next to the bed today, looking at them with its green pea eyes. Yu Zhinian walked up to it, and thinking that it had watched their night of action scenes last night, he apologetically stroked its head before picking it up and delivering it to Xiao Yichi's arms.

When Xiao Yichi opened his eyes, as always, he found that he was the only one lying on the bed.

Hmm? It feels different? Xiao Yichi looked down. Oooh, Snoopy was pressed against his chest, grinning foolishly.

The innocent spectator who sat on the chair last night was now in his arms, so needless to say, it must have been Lawyer Yu's doing.

Xiao Yichi helped Snoopy sit up straight, his one elbow bent up and his palm resting on his cheek, "Snoopy, Lawyer Yu is really bad, isn't he?"

Last night, when they came out of the bathroom and collapsed on the bed, Xiao Yichi gasped intermittently, "Don't let hmm, Snoopy see..." Yu Zhinian glanced towards his old friend on the edge of the pillow between the thrusts, not letting up, and responded intermittently, "... I remember, you said... you like Snoopy?"

Xiao Yichi just groaned and didn't have time to respond. Lawyer Yu was quite bad hearted, "... Then let him look, he's not so young anymore, he understands."

Yu Zhinian kept poking at the pleasure point, and Xiao Yichi's hair was tingling, so he was comfortable, and didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. His emotions were twisted up, and he warned without any deterrent, "Yu... Yu Zhinian, you... don't bully us!..."

Yu Zhinian stopped briefly, kneaded the flesh of Xiao Yichi's buttocks and drew circles, then lifted him up to sit in his arms. "Mmm!" Xiao Yichi tilted his head back to reveal his smooth neckline, and the beads of water left from the shower mixed with the beads of sweat as they fell in a smooth stream. Yu Zhinian held the back of his head with one hand and licked his neck, his waist surging, "Us? ... You guys are still on the same side?"

Xiao Yichi's hand on his shoulder turned to touch the back of Yu Zhinian's neck, his fingers plunged upwards into his hair, caressing it, and his head returned to kiss him deeply. "... Of course we're together... we both like you."

This round, Yu Zhinian admitted defeat. When he changed condoms, he moved Snoopy to the chair, then went back to the bed and hugged Xiao Yichi, "Is that okay?"

Xiao Yichi couldn't laugh or cry, biting the tip of his nose, "What's the difference between this and it being on the bed?"

"It's a little farther away, it's eyes are small, it can't see us." The shrewd Lawyer Yu bullied honest people at every turn.

Xiao Yichi still wanted to say something, but Yu Zhinian pressed him against the bed with his freshly reheated body and started a new round of drenching and hearty tug-of-war.

At that moment, Xiao Yichi reached out to hold Snoopy's small hand, "... Snoopy, do you feel that Lawyer Yu was indiscriminately jealous last night?"

"You think so? Yes, yes, I think so too!"

"What do you think, does he like me ah?"

"Hmm? He actually likes you?" Xiao Yichi hugged it, "No, I don't want to be your rival, let him like me~" Amusing himself, he smoothly turned around on the big bed and lay on his back.

Suddenly, he stiffened. What did he see? At some point, Lawyer Yu leaned against the door and watched with a smirk as he made up his own show.

"Why didn't you knock when you came in?" Xiao Yichi blushed.

"Firstly, I was afraid of waking you up; secondly, this is my room." He spoke in a reasonable manner.

"Hmph." Xiao Yichi turned his back to him and touched Snoopy's belly to hide his shame.

Yu Zhinian walked over and sat down near the bed, leaning down close to Xiao Yichi, "How's your body? How come I feel like you've become even more stupid?"

Xiao Yichi was furious and twisted his head.

Impartial, Yu Zhinian kissed his lips.

It made him lose all his temper. Yu Zhinian backed away, "The medicine is being couriered over. I cooked Huai Shan porridge, want to go wash up first?"

"My back is sore, I can't walk, I want a hug." Xiao Yichi opened his arms.

The corner of Yu Zhinian's mouth curved slightly, he neatly picked him up and went to the bathroom.

Snoopy was left on the bed, smiling foolishly.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yichi went to the hotel to find Tang Wancheng.

Tang Wancheng was busy socialising last night and only saw Xiao Yichi's message in the middle of the night. She hurriedly replied to the message, but there was no reply; she called, but no one answered.

"Which distinguished guest at the dinner party did you fool around with last night?"

Tang Wancheng raised her eyebrows and glanced across the room while reaching out to the manicurist who was taking care of her nails. Why else would he be in such a hurry to ask her if the banquet was over? And no one answered her phone, so in all likelihood he was "busy".

Xiao Yichi rubbed his nose, "Well, you guessed right."

Tang Wancheng rolled her eyes shamelessly and gently moved her hand to send the manicurist away.

When only the two of them were left in the living room, Xiao Yichi respectfully brought her tea to moisten her throat. Tang Wancheng took it, and directly said, "Speak."

"Tang Tang," Xiao Yichi was thoughtful, waiting for Tang Wancheng to drink a mouthful of tea before saying, "I like Lawyer Yu."

Tang Wancheng was about to put the tea cup back on the coffee table, but when she heard these words, her whole body was fixed, as if she was petrified.

"I didn't hear it wrong, did I?"

"Nope." Xiao Yichi took her teacup and put it away. "Lawyer Yu is the Yu Zhinian you know."

"When did you guys develop an 'adulterous relationship'? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Yichi picked the key events from the beginning to tell Tang Wancheng.

"I didn't tell you right away because firstly, I thought I was done with him; secondly, you wanted to help Nie Sangning, so I didn't want you to have a hard time; and thirdly, you have a working relationship with Lawyer Yu, so if you found out about it, it would inevitably lead to complications."

"You're silly, if I had known that you like Lawyer Yu, I definitely wouldn't have helped Nie Sangning! Maybe I can even use my work relationship to give you two a push!"

"It's okay for you to help Nie Sangning, after all, the final decision lies with Yu Zhinian; I just don't want my feelings to affect the work, everyone has work to do, so it's not good."

Tang Wancheng's fingertip tapped Xiao Yichi's temple, "So stubborn. So after last night, have you established a relationship?"

It was really embarrassing to say. Xiao Yichi tilted his head and pretended to be cute, answering ambiguously, "Maybe soon."

"Okay, you guys take care of the romance game between you, anyway, it's been quietly performed for so long now, what's the point of me, a bystander, joining in the fun."

Xiao Yichi laughed and put his arm around Tang Wancheng's shoulder, "Don't say angry words. Come, let me see if there are wrinkles from your anger, let me blow on them for you."

Tang Wancheng laughed angrily at him, but could not break away from this strange man, "You said you have a trump card in your hand and haven't used it, let me see how you cry when it becomes a lousy card."

Xiao Yichi rubbed his head and was obediently lectured.

It seems that he and Yu Zhinian were progressing quite well.

Tang Wancheng softened, "If you like Lawyer Yu, I will definitely support you in pursuing your sweetheart. You can rest assured that I have a sense of proportion when it comes to my work, and I won't get hot-headed and do anything bad. If, I say if, you and Lawyer Yu cannot walk together, if you are sad, come to me, I have a lot of money, Sis will take you around the world to heal your wounds, and in the meantime, see more good men."

Xiao Yichi held her hand and sincerely thanked her, "Tang Tang, thank you."

Tang Wancheng touched Xiao Yichi's head with her head, not saying anything more.
