Chapter 52: The Final Chapter - I won't leave you again:
Because of Gu Hengzhi's words, Ji Linxue didn't sleep well all night.
After lunch the next day, he secretly went to find Shen Shaoyan.
Shen Shaoyan had started playing games as soon as he got back yesterday and stayed up all night. Now he was so sleepy he couldn't even open his eyes: "What do you want to ask?"
Ji Linxue held out his hand in front of him, letting him see the ring on his hand.
"Is that from Brother Heng?" Shen Shaoyan said, "You didn't come to show off how much you two love each other, did you?"
Ji Linxue poked his head: "What are you thinking about all day? I want to ask you if you know about this ring."
"Is there anything special about this ring?" Shen Shaoyan's eyebrows furrowed. He thought hard and finally found a familiar image in his memory. "Oh! I remember now. This should be the one Brother Heng wanted to give you last year!"
"After going around in circles for so long, it finally reached your hand. It wasn't easy."
Ji Linxue's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean, he wanted to give it to me last year?"
"Yeah, the day you went abroad, Brother Heng planned to confess to you. We painstakingly arranged everything for a long time, but you went abroad without a word. Brother Heng even told us not to tell you."
Shen Shaoyan wanted to pat his shoulder but suddenly remembered a certain big jealous guy and forcibly retracted his hand.
"Actually, Brother Heng did a lot behind the scenes. You were alone in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the place. He was afraid something would happen to you, so he specifically hired bodyguards to protect your safety. Otherwise, do you think he would have let you stay there alone?"
All this... he hadn't known any of it.
Ji Linxue stared blankly at the ring on his hand. He deeply regretted why he hadn't waited a little longer back then and had made such an impulsive decision.
And Gu Hengzhi clearly had the chance to tell him everything, but he still chose to respect his wishes and silently waited for him for a year.
His eyes felt a little warm. After calming his emotions, Ji Linxue said thank you to Shen Shaoyan.
"No need to thank me. Originally, I wasn't planning to tell you, but I thought about it. For dating, you know, you have to speak up," Shen Shaoyan winked, sharing his experience, "If there's anything, remember to communicate in time."
Ji Linxue was both touched and amused. He teased.
"Since you're so clear about it, why do you break up after only a few months each time you date?"
Shen Shaoyan was exasperated, "Can't you allow for a little difference between theory and practice?"
Ji Linxue knew he wasn't really angry, but he still coaxed him properly.
Shen Shaoyan was like a child, his temper came and went quickly. He often spoke without thinking and wouldn't ponder things deeply.
After a while, he leaned his head over again and whispered a few words in Ji Linxue's ear.
Ji Linxue pondered for a moment, "Then I'll think about what to prepare for him."
Shen Shaoyan raised his eyebrows, "No need to prepare anything, you are the best gift."
Ji Linxue ignored his comment. After thinking for a moment, he came up with a good idea, "What do you think of this?"
After hearing his idea, Shen Shaoyan exclaimed, "Holy shit! I didn't expect Xiao Xue to look aloof but actually be so bold and passionate ! No wonder Brother Heng is so obsessed he can't walk straight."
Ji Linxue: "?"
Bold and passionate? Was this related to what he just said?
But Shen Shaoyan's mind was filled with nothing but lewd thoughts all day. He was too lazy to ask further, "Should I go learn?"
"Learn what? Ah... that, if you want to learn, you can. I'll show you!"
***
When Gu Hengzhi returned home from work, no one was there.
Not only were Ji Linxue and Lu Yu not present, but even Shen Shaoyan, who had said he would stay at home and play games, was gone.
He took out his phone and dialed Ji Linxue's number. After a while, the call was finally answered.
"Hello?"
Hearing Shen Shaoyan's voice on the other end of the phone, the corner of Gu Hengzhi's lips, which had just lifted, instantly dropped, "Why is it you? Where's my boyfriend?"
Shen Shaoyan glanced to the side, "He's busy."
Gu Hengzhi raised an eyebrow, "Busy with what?"
"Busy preparing a surprise for you," Shen Shaoyan replied, snickering sleazily.
Ji Linxue's voice appeared in the background, sounding distant and unclear, "Shen Shaoyan! What nonsense are you talking..."
"Hey! Xiao Xue, I was wrong!"
A rush of hurried footsteps sounded. Soon, Ji Linxue's voice came through the receiver, "You're off work?"
"Yeah," Gu Hengzhi didn't ask what the surprise was, only asked with a smile, "What do you want for dinner?"
"Anything," Ji Linxue looked at Shen Shaoyan, who was winking and nudging him, "Let's just eat casually at home. Shen Shaoyan and I are out anyway, we'll get takeout."
"Okay, then I'll be in the study. Call me when you get back."
Hanging up the phone, Ji Linxue narrowed his eyes and questioned, “Why’d you tell him?”
"Of course, so Heng Ge has some psychological preparation. Otherwise, what if he gets too excited?"
Ji Linxue was full of question marks. He just thought that Gu Hengzhi sat in the office reading documents all day and his waist and neck would be uncomfortable, so when Shen Shaoyan suggested it, he proposed giving Gu Hengzhi a massage.
What was there to be excited about?
Moreover, he felt that the place Shen Shaoyan brought him a little sketchy. A strong fragrance floated in the air, somewhat suffocating.
But the massage therapist's skills were good. Ji Linxue had just learned a few techniques from him and felt they were sufficient.
By the time they returned with the takeout dinner, it was almost seven o'clock.
The living room lights were off. Only the warm yellow light from the study was on.
Ji Linxue told Shen Shaoyan to take out the food and set it on the dining table. He went to the study to call Gu Hengzhi out for dinner.
He knocked a few times, heard a "Come in" from inside, and then pushed the door open.
Gu Hengzhi was wearing a pair of half-rimmed glasses on his nose. Seeing him enter, he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
"Still looking at documents?"
“Mhm. Been reading documents all day. I’m so tired.”
Ji Linxue walked to the table. Gu Hengzhi naturally extended his arms, "Let me hug you."
If it were before, if a man acted coquettishly in front of him, Ji Linxue would have punched him long ago.
But when Gu Hengzhi did this, not only did he not feel repulsed, his heart started pounding rapidly.
As soon as Ji Linxue walked over, he was pulled into an embrace.
Gu Hengzhi held his waist, buried his head in his chest for a sniff, then looked up, his brows furrowed.
"Where did you go?"
"Such a sensitive nose?" Ji Linxue reached out and gently rubbed his temple, "Shen Shaoyan took me to a private club. I picked up the scent from there."
Gu Hengzhi didn't suspect anything, and besides, in broad daylight, there wasn't much one could do at a club. But he was still unhappy.
"Why go there out of the blue?"
Gu Hengzhi looked up, his wronged expression inexplicably making Ji Linxue feel guilty.
"Nothing much."
Gu Hengzhi narrowed his eyes. Ji Linxue's evasive attitude clearly showed he was hiding something, but he didn't press further. Instead, he lifted his chin and pointed at Ji Linxue's jacket.
"I don't like this smell."
Ji Linxue immediately took off his jacket.
"How about now?"
Smelling the familiar scent, Gu Hengzhi nodded in satisfaction: "Much better."
They didn't hug for long. Seeing that they weren't coming out after a while, Shen Shaoyan came over and knocked on the door.
"Whatever you're doing, wait until after dinner! I'm starving!"
Ji Linxue blushed and shouted, “Shut up!”
This was probably the fiercest thing he could say. Gu Hengzhi chuckled softly, burying his head.
When the two came out, Shen Shaoyan was already sitting at the dining table. He was holding chopsticks and said to Gu Hengzhi.
"Lu Yu said he's not coming back to eat, so we only got four dishes."
"Okay, as long as it's enough to eat."
This was a restaurant they often ate at, the taste was good. After the three of them finished eating, they cleaned up the dishes together.
Shen Shaoyan followed Ji Linxue into the kitchen and nudged his elbow.
"I'm going to the bar later tonight. I won't be back tonight."
Ji Linxue: "?"
Go if you want to go, why tell me?
Meeting his puzzled gaze, Shen Shaoyan felt exasperated. He had done so much, and this person still didn't understand!
"I'm creating a world for just you two. Hurry up and thank me."
Realizing what he meant, Ji Linxue's face turned bright red.
"No one ask you to..." Midway through, Ji Linxue forced the rest of his words back down.
He actually felt a little tempted.
"Since you say that, then I won't go," Shen Shaoyan saw his hesitation and said maliciously.
Ji Linxue bit his lower lip, "You should still go."
Shen Shaoyan chuckled delightedly. Just as he was about to say something, a cold voice came from behind him, "Go where?"
Gu Hengzhi was leaning against the door, they didn't know when he had come over.
Shen Shaoyan cleared his throat and repeated what he had just said, "Nothing, I'm going to the bar tonight. Won't be back tonight."
After saying this, he winked at Gu Hengzhi.
Gu Hengzhi's expression remained calm, "Understood. Be careful."
After all, they were all adults and generally didn't interfere with each other's lives. Besides, Shen Shaoyan often didn't come home at night.
"Oh, right, Lu Yu isn't coming back today either."
Before leaving, Shen Shaoyan left this sentence.
But the scene of dry wood and blazing fire he had anticipated did not happen. After he left, Ji Linxue and Gu Hengzhi went back to doing their own things. After tidying up the house, the two sat in the living room and watched a movie for a while, then went back to their respective rooms to wash up.
Ji Linxue slowly finished showering. After blow-drying his hair, he sat on the bed and couldn't help but wonder, what was Gu Hengzhi doing now?
They had only been together for a few days. Following a gradual progression, they should only be at the stage of holding hands.
Indeed, he had been affected by Shen Shaoyan's lewd thoughts.
Ji Linxue patted his head, planning to play on his phone for a while before sleeping. As soon as he opened it, Gu Hengzhi's message popped up.
【Boyfriend: I'm out of body wash. Can I borrow yours?】
Ji Linxue tapped his fingers and replied.
【x: I'll bring it to you.】
On the way over, he couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation.
But Gu Hengzhi just smiled and said thank you, then took the body wash and went into the bathroom.
Ji Linxue was left standing there awkwardly.
What did that mean?
A few seconds later, the bathroom door opened, and Gu Hengzhi's voice floated out from inside.
"Sit in my room for a while first. I'll give you the body wash back when I'm done."
He said "a while", but Gu Hengzhi came out shortly after. He had a towel wrapped around his lower body, revealing wet abs that glistened under the light.
Ji Linxue subconsciously swallowed.
"Why aren't you wearing a bathrobe?"
Gu Hengzhi picked up a towel and wiped his hair: "It was washed by the cleaning lady and isn't dry yet."
Ji Linxue, oblivious to the romantic atmosphere, said: "There's a dryer at home."
Gu Hengzhi chuckled softly: "Alright, I admit it. I was actually trying to seduce you."
Ji Linxue, "..."
His face was flushed red. He held out his hand, "My body wash?"
Gu Hengzhi looked shocked and incredulous, "I'm right here, and you're only thinking about body wash?"
Ji Linxue pursed his lips.
Actually, he was just shy.
Even though they had done more excessive things before.
While he was lost in thought, Gu Hengzhi had already walked over. He cupped the back of Ji Linxue's head and leaned in, "Can I kiss you?"
Ji Linxue gave a muffled "Mm"
Then Gu Hengzhi leaned in.
The moment their warm lips touched, Ji Linxue's body went rigid as if electrocuted. Sensing his tension, Gu Hengzhi's hand moved down and gently massaged the back of his neck.
"...Relax."
Ji Linxue couldn't relax at all. He had no experience, and neither did Gu Hengzhi, but Gu Hengzhi learned quickly. At first, it was just a light touch, a tentative exploration. Soon, without being taught, he started twisting and grinding, gently sucking on Ji Linxue's lower lip.
Ji Linxue felt a tickle all over. He couldn't help but grip Gu Hengzhi's arm tightly and started to respond, mimicking the other's actions.
He felt his heart pounding rapidly, like a drum beating in his ears. The air was filled with the man's refreshing body wash scent, and under his palms were the man's firm, warm muscles. This double ignition quickly set his body alight.
Gradually, Gu Hengzhi no longer focused on playing with his lips. He used his tongue to push open his lips and boldly entered.
Ji Linxue had the strength to respond at first, but now he didn't even have the strength to respond. He could only passively endure Gu Hengzhi's kiss.
Their tongues tangled, creating an electric tickle. Gu Hengzhi hugged his body tightly, ravaging his mouth repeatedly.
After some time, seeing Ji Linxue's face turn red, Gu Hengzhi finally let him go.
Ignoring the wetness around his lips, Ji Linxue gasped for air, like a fish that had been out of water for too long.
His rapid breathing took nearly a minute to return to normal. Ji Linxue looked up and saw that Gu Hengzhi's face was normal, only slightly out of breath.
Sensing his gaze, Gu Hengzhi looked up, and that glance instantly froze Ji Linxue in place.
The other person's eyes were filled with intense desire, like storm clouds brewing. Although he was mentally prepared, Ji Linxue still felt a little hesitant at this moment.
Fortunately, Gu Hengzhi didn't seem to have that intention. He pulled Ji Linxue into his arms, gently pecking the top of his head absentmindedly.
Ji Linxue stared blankly at the window. Suddenly, he heard Gu Hengzhi's voice above his head.
"The surprise you mentioned today... what is it?"
Ji Linxue blinked. Only then did he remember the thing he had forgotten. He had originally intended to come over and give Gu Hengzhi a massage, but after all that, he had forgotten.
He got out of Gu Hengzhi's arms, pulled him to the edge of the bed, and gently pushed him down. Gu Hengzhi obediently lay down, looking at him with puzzled eyes.
"Take off your clothes."
Gu Hengzhi: "?"
At first, he thought he was hallucinating. Unexpectedly, seeing him not moving, Ji Linxue actually reached out to take off his clothes.
Gu Hengzhi pressed down the hand that was lifting the hem of his clothes, licking his lips.
"Baby, don't be so impatient."
He kissed Ji Linxue's lips, his voice hoarse.
"There's nothing at home."
Ji Linxue: "..."
He rubbed his flushed face and explained softly: "I just wanted to give you a massage."
"Massage?" Gu Hengzhi connected the series of events from the afternoon, "You went to learn this this afternoon?"
"Yeah," Ji Linxue took off his top and had him lie on his stomach on the bed, "I was afraid you'd be uncomfortable sitting all day."
Gu Hengzhi had a habit of exercising every day, and he was physically fit to begin with, so his back wouldn't ache even after sitting for a long time. But since Ji Linxue cared about him so much, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He just smiled and said.
"Are you questioning your husband's waist?"
Ji Linxue was angered into embarrassment and glared at him fiercely.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Hengzhi chuckled softly, but he couldn't laugh for long.
Ji Linxue applied hand cream to both hands and massaged and kneaded his bare back with warmed palms, then pushed outwards and kneaded.
The force was strong, but Gu Hengzhi didn't feel pain. He only felt a hot sensation on his back. The places he touched felt like they had been electrocuted, causing him frown in silence.
"Enough," his voice was deep, "Stop pressing."
Ji Linxue rubbed his palms. Because he was lying on his stomach, he couldn't see Gu Hengzhi's expression and was still saying seriously, "No, you need another set."
Gu Hengzhi sat up and got out of bed to put on his slippers without a word.
"Does it hurt? I can be gentler..." Before he finished speaking, Ji Linxue's gaze dropped and he noticed the large bulge pushing against the towel, and instantly fell silent.
Gu Hengzhi looked at him without speaking, but the meaning was clear.
If she kept pressing, he wouldn't be able to hold back.
It felt like a long time, yet also only a second. Gu Hengzhi heard Ji Linxue's voice come from behind him.
"...I can help you."
His movement of putting on his pajamas paused. He turned to look at the other person.
Ji Linxue pursed his lips: "Do you want me to?"
Gu Hengzhi didn't speak. He walked over and gently brushed Ji Linxue's face, "Compared to helping me, I'd rather be with you."
Ji Linxue didn't fully understand what he meant. Gu Hengzhi suddenly picked him up by the waist, gently placed him on the bed, and leaned in close.
Not long after, a gasp sounded in the room, mixed with a low plea, "Gu Hengzhi, not there."
"What do you call me?"
The owner of the voice instantly fell silent. But the sound of clothes rustling got faster and faster. He soon couldn't stand the other person's teasing and squeezed out two words from his mouth: "...Husband."
Laughter rang out, filled with deep satisfaction: "Mm."
***
After some time, the sounds in the room finally stopped. Gu Hengzhi carried him into the bathroom, and they showered together.
After showering, he helped Ji Linxue change into clean pajamas, then pulled off the messy sheets and put them in the washing machine. Ji Linxue didn't wake up the whole time, apparently truly exhausted.
Changing to new sheets was too troublesome, so Gu Hengzhi carried Ji Linxue back to his own room.
Ji Linxue fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, no matter how Gu Hengzhi called him, he wouldn't wake up.
Gu Hengzhi lay beside him, tracing the contours of his face inch by inch with his gaze, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"You're not allowed to leave again, Ji Linxue. You have no idea how much I missed you."
He was always a reserved person and would never say such revealing words, but perhaps the more intimate contact today gave him the urge to say it.
Anyway, Ji Linxue couldn't hear him.
The second after he closed his eyes, a finger hooked his pinky.
A familiar voice sounded, "I won't."
"Gu Hengzhi, I won't leave you again."
The end.
