Chapter Thirteen


This novel was posted on cnt18 [dot] blogsp0t [dot] com, by anasiana. If you're not reading it there, you get what you get  ̄へ ̄)


Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Han Yang's entire being, so his only response right then was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and Helian Qing.

Next there was Helian Cheng, he does not say very much. And regarding the matter of him being with Helian Qing, he had not said much of anything, yet he had nonetheless made both of them feel at ease, with a sense of mutual understanding.

The lad's heart was flooded with these actions of his! Not only that, but also of Helian Qing's kiss and his own initiated kiss both surprisingly having not one ounce of disgust trailing them. His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.

Han Yang's hands again returned to his face, while he simply kept his mouth shut.


Helian Qing pressed his lips chastely onto the younger man's without probing any deeper, simply holding them snug against the boy's. Yet, that simple touch triggered a thunderous pounding to arise in young man's heart, and his mind to set itself ablaze.

"Aunt just said we should try to get along well together." Han Yang finally answered.

"That's not necessary, okay..." Han Yang chimed in. Me planning a wedding ceremony... that kind of beautiful scene, is too unbelievable.

"You don't have to explain." Han Yang politely replied at once, "He really does treat me very well, and takes awfully good care of me too."

"Is kissing my wife not decent?" Helian Qing asked with a raised brow.

A split second was all it took for Han Yang to feel his heart was again moved, pushing him to unseal his lips and say, "Helian Qing..."


Such an unprecedented form of intimacy, to him, felt like a hand reaching inside then ripping open his protective shell to stir his heart.

"You don't have to explain." Han Yang politely replied at once, "He really does treat me very well, and takes awfully good care of me too."

Oh My God! I actually chose to kiss Helian Qing!!

"What?" Han Yang asked.

Which made Han Yang take down his hands and turn towards him, just to hear him further say, "You don't have to worry about it, there's no reason to."

"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.


In the end, Helian Qing gently caressed Han Yang's lips before retreating, then tossed the little book back into the lad's open hands. Taking a glance at the other, Helian Qing saw the boy was still stuck in his daze and so added, "As I said, my seal."

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.

"That's great then." Mo Suya gleamed, reaching out to stroke the boy's head before adding, "You're a good boy, but remember, if you have any problems or anything else you can just tell me and I'll help you fix it, okay?"

Han Yang ridiculed in his heart, until he again recalled Mo Suya's words, adding, "Aunt cares about you a lot."

The lad's heart was flooded with these actions of his! Not only that, but also of Helian Qing's kiss and his own initiated kiss both surprisingly having not one ounce of disgust trailing them. His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.

Soft lips touched. Helian Qing still lacked any semblance of a reaction. Even when Han Yang withdrew to resume his earlier posture once again and fix his gaze on the scenery beyond the car's window. With him sitting in such a position, Helian Qing was unable to properly view his expression, only managing to catch a glimpse of his originally pale neck, with how red it had become, now seeming as though it was stained in blood.

"Then, I guess we'll have our dinner now." Mo Suya announced.

"I don't mind." Han Yang immediately responded, since this was what he really wished for so he would have more time to come up with a way to explain everything to his grandpa.

Hahahahahahahaha!! Princess Qing's mouth is so cheap even I got *owned*!! Han Yang hurry up and *accept him!! Return home and continue!! Your certificate was issued, go act indecently~~~[]T/n: the word for "accept"(Shou) is the same one for Uke/bottom.

Helian Qing in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything yet? Are you still so mad you..."


Those words acted like a switch, smacking Han Yang out of his stupefied state, as well as forcing his face to become blanketed in a blush. Then upon noticing he was still face-to-face with that man, he twisted his head towards the window facing outside.

Han Yang looked at the man's profile. His expression was indifferent as always, but now he could sense the man had known what he was thinking, and so, utilized this method in an attempt to console him.

"You don't have to explain." Han Yang politely replied at once, "He really does treat me very well, and takes awfully good care of me too."

Oh My God! I actually chose to kiss Helian Qing!!


"Chicken.[1]" Helian Qing teased.

"..." Remembering how they just received their marriage certificate that same afternoon, Han Yang could only find the excuse, "Doing this sort of thing outside isn't proper."

Han Yang had kissed him? He had kissed him of his own free will?!

On the drive back, Han Yang reflected on what Mo Suya had said to him. Concluding, both he and her had thought similarly. From the start, he guessed that man's reason getting him to sign that contract was not simply about repayment of a debt. Furthermore, because of Helian Qing's background, any marriage partner he wanted he could have, so why would he lower himself and choose a student hailing from some mountain village of all places.


However, in that split second, Han Yang, unsure of whether it was due to a burst of courage birthed from the rage[2] welling up deep within him, whipped his head back towards Helian Qing's direction and pursed his lips with an unyielding glare aimed at the other man.

"That isn't his fault, I just ate something bad," Han Yang boldly interjected.

"..."

Han Yang felt his heartbeat grind to a halt. Frozen, as he laid on his seat, not daring to make a move.

"Aunt also said we should be good." Han Yang added.

After getting his fill from their kiss, Helian Qing withdrew himself from Han Yang's mouth, then released the fingers grasping the younger man's lips, but not before using his thumb to erase the moisture gathered between the gap of those freed lips. Seeing the "soul-departed[7]" expression on the still stunned boy, he was unable to stop his brows from knitting as he nudged the dazed one, "Wake up, and stop looking like you've already ascended to heaven."


Helian Qing in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything yet? Are you still so mad you..."

Han Yang, "..." Master Helian, even your rewards are one of a kind.

Han Yang felt his heartbeat grind to a halt. Frozen, as he laid on his seat, not daring to make a move.

"No!"

"Aunt also said we should be good." Han Yang added.

"..."

Which made Han Yang take down his hands and turn towards him, just to hear him further say, "You don't have to worry about it, there's no reason to."

"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.


Soft lips touched. Helian Qing still lacked any semblance of a reaction. Even when Han Yang withdrew to resume his earlier posture once again and fix his gaze on the scenery beyond the car's window. With him sitting in such a position, Helian Qing was unable to properly view his expression, only managing to catch a glimpse of his originally pale neck, with how red it had become, now seeming as though it was stained in blood.

Still excited from the man's actions not too long ago, Han Yang's brain was on fire and after what he himself had done, he felt absolutely foolish. His heart had also become a tiny erupting volcano, one whose magma heaved, wanting very much to submerge him.

Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Han Yang's entire being, so his only response right then was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and Helian Qing.

However, in that split second, Han Yang, unsure of whether it was due to a burst of courage birthed from the rage welling up deep within him, whipped his head back towards Helian Qing's direction and pursed his lips with an unyielding glare aimed at the other man.

After dinner and before the two left, Mo Suya pulled Han Yang aside to say, "You know, Ah-Qing is a tad bad-tempered but there's nothing bad in his thoughts. In all these years I've never seen him try to find someone, so since he insisted on marrying you, he must have his reasons. Also, for two people to get along with one another, time is needed. That strong temperament of his is sure to trouble you so you may need to be even more forgiving towards him."

"Aunt just said we should try to get along well together." Han Yang finally answered.


Han Yang had kissed him? He had kissed him of his own free will?!

"Well, it is mainly about the both of you, so it's perfectly alright if you don't want to do it. But both families still need to get together and have a meal." Mo Suya stated.


When that realisation finally hit Helian Qing, a jolt of electricity quickly spread from his ears leaving him a state of utter satiety[3], his lips still tingling with a bit of pain from where Han Yang had bumped into him. He now stared intensely at the boy's flushed ears, to the point where he could almost imagine how soft they appeared to be. So, completely unable from stopping his hand’s movement, it reached out, wanting to touch those reddened lobes. But, just as his arm hung outstretched, the loud blare of a horn interrupted him.

"So, you'll behaveT/n: the be good Han Yang used is the word for good, but the "be good" Helian Qing used is one that means "behave" and is used towards children. yourself a bit more…" Helian Qing eyed him.

During that meal, although the place and the people were no different than the last time, Han Yang's frame of mind appeared to have changed. He discovered Mo Suya was a genuinely tender and kind-hearted mother, as her eyes always had a smile in them and her words were soft and gentle, making anyone one around her experience a sense of familiarity along with one of comfort.

"It's alright." Helian Qing suddenly added.


The traffic light had turned green.

"Ask him." Helian Qing said.


"...damn, turns out you're more of a tiger, huh![4]" In the end, only Helian Qing can say such words with such resolve.

Those spoken words of his only made Han Yang recount how, just a moment ago, he was inside his mouth, wantonly teasing his tongue with his own. Han Yang's brain "buzzed" before firing off an explosion.

On the drive back, Han Yang reflected on what Mo Suya had said to him. Concluding, both he and her had thought similarly.

Han Yang felt his heartbeat grind to a halt. Frozen, as he laid on his seat, not daring to make a move.

"Tsk." Helian Qing sneered, his speech became indifferent, "I really should make you see the look you have on your face right now."

"Aunt just said we should try to get along well together." Han Yang finally answered.


I kissed Helian Qing.

Han Yang ridiculed in his heart, until he again recalled Mo Suya's words, adding, "Aunt cares about you a lot."

The lad could only involuntarily react bashfully at those words. However, having it seem more or less that he was yet again exposed, prompted his resentment towards Helian Qing to rise. But then, those embers of abashment, turned into good-hearted smile. All due to that man, compared to the boy's initial thoughts, being rather easy to get along with.

BANG——

Han Yang laughed at that, not saying anything more. Without warning, those parents of his who used him as the settlement for their debt, entered his mind. Even thinking, maybe in those people's hearts, they had never had even an iota of consideration for him.

Han Yang had even forgotten to struggle, dazedly allowing his mouth to be played with and teased by that man. By that nimble tongue, which seemed as if it wanted to overwhelm his orifice in the same way a storm churns the seas[6]. Doing its best to lick and lap at the soft lining within his mouth, yet despite that, was still not at all sated so the man simply hooked it with his own, entangling them, sucking.

Mo Suya's smile was exceptionally tender, while her eyes shone with the love meant for a child of the family. This made Han Yang's heart become ensnared by the realisation, he had never felt that kind of affection from his own parents, causing his eyes to redden as he nodded.

Beside him, Helian was rather delighted and so gifted Han Yang with a chopstick of greens, "Your reward."


I kissed Helian Qing—willingly.

Obviously, it's meant for you, who from the beginning, uses that poisonous tongue of yours against me.


Oh My God! I actually chose to kiss Helian Qing!!

Which made Han Yang take down his hands and turn towards him, just to hear him further say, "You don't have to worry about it, there's no reason to."

"How do you know I looked at you?" Han Yang questioned a bit too hastily, then later responded, "So could it have been that you were looking at me from the beginning...?"

Lifting his head to look at the man, Han Yang's heart was moved.

In the end, Helian Qing gently caressed Han Yang's lips before retreating, then tossed the little book back into the lad's open hands. Taking a glance at the other, Helian Qing saw the boy was still stuck in his daze and so added, "As I said, my seal."

Han Yang's spirit made an abrupt return and his hand moved to cover his mouth while his eyes locked onto Helian Qing's.


The lad's heart was flooded with these actions of his! Not only that, but also of Helian Qing's kiss and his own initiated kiss both surprisingly having not one ounce of disgust trailing them. His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.

Helian Qing had moved to close the small gap between them, then pressed his lips against Han Yang's. His fingers, still grasping the boy's chin, released a faint pinch, causing Han Yang to relax his jaw at the sudden nip. Seizing this opportunity, he plunged his tongue inside where it met the warm, slippery tip of Han Yang's.

"..." Han Yang in response just stared at Helian Qing, unable to avoid that all too familiar embarrassment before he countered, "What nonsense are you saying now, huh!"

"Well, it is mainly about the both of you, so it's perfectly alright if you don't want to do it. But both families still need to get together and have a meal." Mo Suya stated.

Following this, neither of those two men spoke a word for the remainder of their journey to the Helian family's mansion.

"A’YangT/n: "A/Ah" prefix used to address someone younger., you're not eating enough. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and every bit of you is thinner." Mo Suya chided, "I didn't know this is how A’Qing takes care of others."

I kissed Helian Qing—willingly.


Knowing it was the day the two men had gone to register their marriage, Mo Suya asked the chef to prepare a few meals. Also aware of Han Yang's recent stomach troubles, she especially urged the chef to prepare some congee for the younger man's recovering tummy.

Helian Qing in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything yet? Are you still so mad you..."

"That isn't his fault, I just ate something bad," Han Yang boldly interjected.

"The fire in your eyes[5] is burning me up," Helian Qing added.


"Oh, you only just registered your marriage and you're already defending him, huh?" Mo Suya said with a smile.

"Y-y-you... can't you... be a bit more decent?" Han Yang stuttered with a reddened face.

Helian Qing in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything yet? Are you still so mad you..."

"That's fine, so long as A’Yang doesn't mind it," Mo Suya replied.


"..." Han Yang quietly closed his mouth in response.

"...damn, turns out you're more of a tiger, huh![4]" In the end, only Helian Qing can say such words with such resolve.

! ! !

Han Yang looked at the man's profile. His expression was indifferent as always, but now he could sense the man had known what he was thinking, and so, utilized this method in an attempt to console him.

"What look?" Han Yang reached his hand to remove the other man's, but just as his hand moved, that man pressed it aside.

I kissed Helian Qing—willingly.


Beside him, Helian was rather delighted and so gifted Han Yang with a chopstick of greens, "Your reward."

"No!"

Obviously, it's meant for you, who from the beginning, uses that poisonous tongue of yours against me.

"...You talk too much." Helian Qing grumbled.

"No!"


Mo Suya, "..." How did I ever give birth to such a foolish son?

"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.

Han Yang's spirit made an abrupt return and his hand moved to cover his mouth while his eyes locked onto Helian Qing's.

Lifting his head to look at the man, Han Yang's heart was moved.


"Alright then, since your certificate has been issued, now we just have to pick a date for your wedding ceremony, yeah?" Mo Suya began.

"No!"

On the drive back, Han Yang reflected on what Mo Suya had said to him. Concluding, both he and her had thought similarly. From the start, he guessed that man's reason getting him to sign that contract was not simply about repayment of a debt.

"Getting married is an important affair, it must not be done sloppily." Lao Yezi added.

Oh My God! I actually chose to kiss Helian Qing!!

In an instant, Helian Qing pulled the car to a stop at the the roadside. He then outstretched his hand to hold Han Yang's chin, turning the lad's face towards his own, "What happened? Why do you look like you want to cry?"

"That isn't his fault, I just ate something bad," Han Yang boldly interjected.

Next there was Helian Cheng, he does not say very much. And regarding the matter of him being with Helian Qing, he had not said much of anything, yet he had nonetheless made both of them feel at ease, with a sense of mutual understanding.

After getting his fill from their kiss, Helian Qing withdrew himself from Han Yang's mouth, then released the fingers grasping the younger man's lips, but not before using his thumb to erase the moisture gathered between the gap of those freed lips. Seeing the "soul-departed[7]" expression on the still stunned boy, he was unable to stop his brows from knitting as he nudged the dazed one, "Wake up, and stop looking like you've already ascended to heaven."

Such an unprecedented form of intimacy, to him, felt like a hand reaching inside then ripping open his protective shell to stir his heart.


"That's not necessary, okay..." Han Yang chimed in. Me planning a wedding ceremony... that kind of beautiful scene, is too unbelievable.

"You don't have to worry about that." Helian Qing stated in response.


Han Yang's family only had one other person, his grandpa, who he had still not informed of his situation with Helian Qing, and was quite anxious this news would upset the old man.

After dinner and before the two left, Mo Suya pulled Han Yang aside to say, "You know, Ah-Qing is a tad bad-tempered but there's nothing bad in his thoughts. In all these years I've never seen him try to find someone, so since he insisted on marrying you, he must have his reasons. Also, for two people to get along with one another, time is needed.

"No!"


"It's a bit late right now." Helian Qing said, "I'll arrange a better time to discuss this later."

"When you two chatted, you looked at me three or four times, and you acted as if I was damned," Helian Qing replied.


Lifting his head to look at the man, Han Yang's heart was moved.

Soft lips touched. Helian Qing still lacked any semblance of a reaction. Even when Han Yang withdrew to resume his earlier posture once again and fix his gaze on the scenery beyond the car's window. With him sitting in such a position, Helian Qing was unable to properly view his expression, only managing to catch a glimpse of his originally pale neck, with how red it had become, now seeming as though it was stained in blood.


"That's fine, so long as A’Yang doesn't mind it," Mo Suya replied.

That statement did nothing but stun both men into a dumbfounded state, with Helian Qing being the first to recover, "What... are you going to flatter yourself by imagining your love is being reciprocated?"

Lifting his head to look at the man, Han Yang's heart was moved.

"The fire in your eyes[5] is burning me up," Helian Qing added.

"You look like I ate your tongue." Helian Qing remarked.

"I don't mind." Han Yang immediately responded, since this was what he really wished for so he would have more time to come up with a way to explain everything to his grandpa.

"You should check out your reflection in the mirror," Helian Qing remarked, interrupting the lad's contemplation.

"Oh." Helian Qing mused, "You mean we'll return home then continue this, yeah?"

Those spoken words of his only made Han Yang recount how, just a moment ago, he was inside his mouth, wantonly teasing his tongue with his own. Han Yang's brain "buzzed" before firing off an explosion.

The traffic light had turned green.

Han Yang's family only had one other person, his grandpa, who he had still not informed of his situation with Helian Qing, and was quite anxious this news would upset the old man.


"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

"...You talk too much." Helian Qing grumbled.

"Why do you want to know?" Han Yang said with surprise.

"No!"

So, when it came to this matter, he was left both confused and curious.

"Getting married is an important affair, it must not be done sloppily." Lao Yezi added.

"..." Han Yang quietly closed his mouth in response.

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.


"Then, I guess we'll have our dinner now." Mo Suya announced.

"It's a bit late right now." Helian Qing said, "I'll arrange a better time to discuss this later."

"Aunt just said we should try to get along well together." Han Yang finally answered.

"Alright then, since your certificate has been issued, now we just have to pick a date for your wedding ceremony, yeah?" Mo Suya began.

"..."

Helian Qing moved his face closer to Han Yang's, the two now had less than an inch between them. He clicked his tongue, then said, "It's a 'Husband, hurry up and console me—coax me' kind of expression, and I really can't stand it anymore."


During that meal, although the place and the people were no different than the last time, Han Yang's frame of mind appeared to have changed. He discovered Mo Suya was a genuinely tender and kind-hearted mother, as her eyes always had a smile in them and her words were soft and gentle, making anyone one around her experience a sense of familiarity along with one of comfort.

"That's fine, so long as A’Yang doesn't mind it," Mo Suya replied.

"That isn't his fault, I just ate something bad," Han Yang boldly interjected.

"Then, I guess we'll have our dinner now." Mo Suya announced.


Next there was Helian Cheng, he does not say very much. And regarding the matter of him being with Helian Qing, he had not said much of anything, yet he had nonetheless made both of them feel at ease, with a sense of mutual understanding.

"Getting married is an important affair, it must not be done sloppily." Lao Yezi added.

"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

Following this, neither of those two men spoke a word for the remainder of their journey to the Helian family's mansion.


Lastly, there was Lao Yezi, who from the beginning, seemed more than pleased with the matter between himself and Helian Qing.

"You look like I ate your tongue." Helian Qing remarked.

Such an unprecedented form of intimacy, to him, felt like a hand reaching inside then ripping open his protective shell to stir his heart.

On the drive back, Han Yang reflected on what Mo Suya had said to him. Concluding, both he and her had thought similarly. From the start, he guessed that man's reason getting him to sign that contract was not simply about repayment of a debt. Furthermore, because of Helian Qing's background, any marriage partner he wanted he could have, so why would he lower himself and choose a student hailing from some mountain village of all places.

"You should check out your reflection in the mirror," Helian Qing remarked, interrupting the lad's contemplation.

Those words acted like a switch, smacking Han Yang out of his stupefied state, as well as forcing his face to become blanketed in a blush. Then upon noticing he was still face-to-face with that man, he twisted his head towards the window facing outside.

Helian Qing in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything yet? Are you still so mad you..."

Han Yang's face flushing red was instantaneous, "What nonsense are you spouting?! Hurry up and let go of..."


After dinner and before the two left, Mo Suya pulled Han Yang aside to say, "You know, Ah-Qing is a tad bad-tempered but there's nothing bad in his thoughts. In all these years I've never seen him try to find someone, so since he insisted on marrying you, he must have his reasons. Also, for two people to get along with one another, time is needed. That strong temperament of his is sure to trouble you so you may need to be even more forgiving towards him."

The lad could only involuntarily react bashfully at those words. However, having it seem more or less that he was yet again exposed, prompted his resentment towards Helian Qing to rise. But then, those embers of abashment, turned into good-hearted smile. All due to that man, compared to the boy's initial thoughts, being rather easy to get along with.

"What?" Han Yang asked.

"What?" Han Yang asked.

"Is kissing my wife not decent?" Helian Qing asked with a raised brow.

I kissed Helian Qing—willingly.

"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.


"You don't have to explain." Han Yang politely replied at once, "He really does treat me very well, and takes awfully good care of me too."

A split second was all it took for Han Yang to feel his heart was again moved, pushing him to unseal his lips and say, "Helian Qing..."

"If you have so much free time, you might as well spend it fancying your husband." The man cut in.

So, when it came to this matter, he was left both confused and curious.


"That's great then." Mo Suya gleamed, reaching out to stroke the boy's head before adding, "You're a good boy, but remember, if you have any problems or anything else you can just tell me and I'll help you fix it, okay?"

"What look?" Han Yang reached his hand to remove the other man's, but just as his hand moved, that man pressed it aside.

"Ask him." Helian Qing said.

"If you have so much free time, you might as well spend it fancying your husband." The man cut in.


Mo Suya's smile was exceptionally tender, while her eyes shone with the love meant for a child of the family. This made Han Yang's heart become ensnared by the realisation, he had never felt that kind of affection from his own parents, causing his eyes to redden as he nodded.

After getting his fill from their kiss, Helian Qing withdrew himself from Han Yang's mouth, then released the fingers grasping the younger man's lips, but not before using his thumb to erase the moisture gathered between the gap of those freed lips. Seeing the "soul-departed[7]" expression on the still stunned boy, he was unable to stop his brows from knitting as he nudged the dazed one, "Wake up, and stop looking like you've already ascended to heaven."

Helian Qing pressed his lips chastely onto the younger man's without probing any deeper, simply holding them snug against the boy's. Yet, that simple touch triggered a thunderous pounding to arise in young man's heart, and his mind to set itself ablaze.

"..." Han Yang quietly closed his mouth in response.

"Aunt just said we should try to get along well together." Han Yang finally answered.

Lifting his head to look at the man, Han Yang's heart was moved.

A split second was all it took for Han Yang to feel his heart was again moved, pushing him to unseal his lips and say, "Helian Qing..."

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.


On the drive back, Han Yang reflected on what Mo Suya had said to him. Concluding, both he and her had thought similarly.

Han Yang's face flushing red was instantaneous, "What nonsense are you spouting?! Hurry up and let go of..."


Han Yang, though aware he was above average when compared to other students, was not arrogant enough to think he could have made someone like Helian Qing fall for him in that sort of way.

The traffic light had turned green.


So, when it came to this matter, he was left both confused and curious.

Lastly, there was Lao Yezi, who from the beginning, seemed more than pleased with the matter between himself and Helian Qing.

"Tsk." Helian Qing sneered, his speech became indifferent, "I really should make you see the look you have on your face right now."

"So, you'll behaveT/n: the be good Han Yang used is the word for good, but the "be good" Helian Qing used is one that means "behave" and is used towards children. yourself a bit more…" Helian Qing eyed him.


"You should check out your reflection in the mirror," Helian Qing remarked, interrupting the lad's contemplation.

"Oh." Helian Qing mused, "You mean we'll return home then continue this, yeah?"

The lad could only involuntarily react bashfully at those words. However, having it seem more or less that he was yet again exposed, prompted his resentment towards Helian Qing to rise. But then, those embers of abashment, turned into good-hearted smile. All due to that man, compared to the boy's initial thoughts, being rather easy to get along with.

BANG——

Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Han Yang's entire being, so his only response right then was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and Helian Qing.

"Is kissing my wife not decent?" Helian Qing asked with a raised brow.


"What?" Han Yang asked.

"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

Mo Suya's smile was exceptionally tender, while her eyes shone with the love meant for a child of the family. This made Han Yang's heart become ensnared by the realisation, he had never felt that kind of affection from his own parents, causing his eyes to redden as he nodded.

"You should check out your reflection in the mirror," Helian Qing remarked, interrupting the lad's contemplation.

"Why do you want to know?" Han Yang said with surprise.


"The fire in your eyes[5] is burning me up," Helian Qing added.

During that meal, although the place and the people were no different than the last time, Han Yang's frame of mind appeared to have changed. He discovered Mo Suya was a genuinely tender and kind-hearted mother, as her eyes always had a smile in them and her words were soft and gentle, making anyone one around her experience a sense of familiarity along with one of comfort.


"..." Han Yang in response just stared at Helian Qing, unable to avoid that all too familiar embarrassment before he countered, "What nonsense are you saying now, huh!"

Han Yang laughed at that, not saying anything more. Without warning, those parents of his who used him as the settlement for their debt, entered his mind. Even thinking, maybe in those people's hearts, they had never had even an iota of consideration for him.

Han Yang had kissed him? He had kissed him of his own free will?!

Han Yang, "..." Master Helian, even your rewards are one of a kind.

"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

Such an unprecedented form of intimacy, to him, felt like a hand reaching inside then ripping open his protective shell to stir his heart.

"I hear you." Helian Qing stared at him, then started the car.

Han Yang had even forgotten to struggle, dazedly allowing his mouth to be played with and teased by that man. By that nimble tongue, which seemed as if it wanted to overwhelm his orifice in the same way a storm churns the seas[6]. Doing its best to lick and lap at the soft lining within his mouth, yet despite that, was still not at all sated so the man simply hooked it with his own, entangling them, sucking.


"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.

Han Yang's family only had one other person, his grandpa, who he had still not informed of his situation with Helian Qing, and was quite anxious this news would upset the old man.


"Why do you want to know?" Han Yang said with surprise.

"If you have so much free time, you might as well spend it fancying your husband." The man cut in.


"When you two chatted, you looked at me three or four times, and you acted as if I was damned," Helian Qing replied.

Han Yang, though aware he was above average when compared to other students, was not arrogant enough to think he could have made someone like Helian Qing fall for him in that sort of way.

"Oh, you only just registered your marriage and you're already defending him, huh?" Mo Suya said with a smile.

"That's great then." Mo Suya gleamed, reaching out to stroke the boy's head before adding, "You're a good boy, but remember, if you have any problems or anything else you can just tell me and I'll help you fix it, okay?"

"You look like I ate your tongue." Helian Qing remarked.

Obviously, it's meant for you, who from the beginning, uses that poisonous tongue of yours against me.


"How do you know I looked at you?" Han Yang questioned a bit too hastily, then later responded, "So could it have been that you were looking at me from the beginning...?"

"How do you know I looked at you?" Han Yang questioned a bit too hastily, then later responded, "So could it have been that you were looking at me from the beginning...?"

"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.

Han Yang had kissed him? He had kissed him of his own free will?!

"...You talk too much." Helian Qing grumbled.

Han Yang's spirit made an abrupt return and his hand moved to cover his mouth while his eyes locked onto Helian Qing's.


That statement did nothing but stun both men into a dumbfounded state, with Helian Qing being the first to recover, "What... are you going to flatter yourself by imagining your love is being reciprocated?"

"Alright then, since your certificate has been issued, now we just have to pick a date for your wedding ceremony, yeah?" Mo Suya began.

"It's a bit late right now." Helian Qing said, "I'll arrange a better time to discuss this later."

"...You talk too much." Helian Qing grumbled.

"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.

Soft lips touched. Helian Qing still lacked any semblance of a reaction. Even when Han Yang withdrew to resume his earlier posture once again and fix his gaze on the scenery beyond the car's window. With him sitting in such a position, Helian Qing was unable to properly view his expression, only managing to catch a glimpse of his originally pale neck, with how red it had become, now seeming as though it was stained in blood.

The lad's heart was flooded with these actions of his! Not only that, but also of Helian Qing's kiss and his own initiated kiss both surprisingly having not one ounce of disgust trailing them. His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.

"I hear you." Helian Qing stared at him, then started the car.


The lad could only involuntarily react bashfully at those words. However, having it seem more or less that he was yet again exposed, prompted his resentment towards Helian Qing to rise. But then, those embers of abashment, turned into good-hearted smile. All due to that man, compared to the boy's initial thoughts, being rather easy to get along with.

"It's alright." Helian Qing suddenly added.

"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

"Aunt also said we should be good." Han Yang added.

"You should check out your reflection in the mirror," Helian Qing remarked, interrupting the lad's contemplation.

His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.

Han Yang looked at the man's profile. His expression was indifferent as always, but now he could sense the man had known what he was thinking, and so, utilized this method in an attempt to console him.


"Aunt just said we should try to get along well together." Han Yang finally answered.

Knowing it was the day the two men had gone to register their marriage, Mo Suya asked the chef to prepare a few meals. Also aware of Han Yang's recent stomach troubles, she especially urged the chef to prepare some congee for the younger man's recovering tummy.

"I hear you." Helian Qing stared at him, then started the car.

"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.


"You don't have to worry about that." Helian Qing stated in response.

I kissed Helian Qing.

Helian Qing in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything yet? Are you still so mad you..."

"That isn't his fault, I just ate something bad," Han Yang boldly interjected.


"Aunt also said we should be good." Han Yang added.

However, in that split second, Han Yang, unsure of whether it was due to a burst of courage birthed from the rage welling up deep within him, whipped his head back towards Helian Qing's direction and pursed his lips with an unyielding glare aimed at the other man.

When that realisation finally hit Helian Qing, a jolt of electricity quickly spread from his ears leaving him a state of utter satiety, his lips still tingling with a bit of pain from where Han Yang had bumped into him. He now stared intensely at the boy's flushed ears, to the point where he could almost imagine how soft they appeared to be. So, completely unable from stopping his hand’s movement, it reached out, wanting to touch those reddened lobes. But, just as his arm hung outstretched, the loud blare of a horn interrupted him.

"..."

In an instant, Helian Qing pulled the car to a stop at the the roadside. He then outstretched his hand to hold Han Yang's chin, turning the lad's face towards his own, "What happened? Why do you look like you want to cry?"

"That's great then." Mo Suya gleamed, reaching out to stroke the boy's head before adding, "You're a good boy, but remember, if you have any problems or anything else you can just tell me and I'll help you fix it, okay?"

Beside him, Helian was rather delighted and so gifted Han Yang with a chopstick of greens, "Your reward."

"When you two chatted, you looked at me three or four times, and you acted as if I was damned," Helian Qing replied.

"..."


"..."

"..." Han Yang in response just stared at Helian Qing, unable to avoid that all too familiar embarrassment before he countered, "What nonsense are you saying now, huh!"

Next there was Helian Cheng, he does not say very much. And regarding the matter of him being with Helian Qing, he had not said much of anything, yet he had nonetheless made both of them feel at ease, with a sense of mutual understanding.

In the end, Helian Qing gently caressed Han Yang's lips before retreating, then tossed the little book back into the lad's open hands. Taking a glance at the other, Helian Qing saw the boy was still stuck in his daze and so added, "As I said, my seal."


Obviously, it's meant for you, who from the beginning, uses that poisonous tongue of yours against me.

On the drive back, Han Yang reflected on what Mo Suya had said to him. Concluding, both he and her had thought similarly. From the start, he guessed that man's reason getting him to sign that contract was not simply about repayment of a debt. Furthermore, because of Helian Qing's background, any marriage partner he wanted he could have, so why would he lower himself and choose a student hailing from some mountain village of all places.

Seeing the "soul-departed[7]" expression on the still stunned boy, he was unable to stop his brows from knitting as he nudged the dazed one, "Wake up, and stop looking like you've already ascended to heaven."

"..."


Han Yang ridiculed in his heart, until he again recalled Mo Suya's words, adding, "Aunt cares about you a lot."

Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Han Yang's entire being, so his only response right then was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and Helian Qing.

Lastly, there was Lao Yezi, who from the beginning, seemed more than pleased with the matter between himself and Helian Qing.

Oh My God! I actually chose to kiss Helian Qing!!

"The fire in your eyes[5] is burning me up," Helian Qing added.


"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.

When that realisation finally hit Helian Qing, a jolt of electricity quickly spread from his ears leaving him a state of utter satiety, his lips still tingling with a bit of pain from where Han Yang had bumped into him.

"It's alright." Helian Qing suddenly added.

"..."

During that meal, although the place and the people were no different than the last time, Han Yang's frame of mind appeared to have changed. He discovered Mo Suya was a genuinely tender and kind-hearted mother, as her eyes always had a smile in them and her words were soft and gentle, making anyone one around her experience a sense of familiarity along with one of comfort.


"Tsk." Helian Qing sneered, his speech became indifferent, "I really should make you see the look you have on your face right now."

I kissed Helian Qing—willingly.

Lastly, there was Lao Yezi, who from the beginning, seemed more than pleased with the matter between himself and Helian Qing.

"Then, I guess we'll have our dinner now." Mo Suya announced.


"What look?" Han Yang reached his hand to remove the other man's, but just as his hand moved, that man pressed it aside.

"Then, I guess we'll have our dinner now." Mo Suya announced.


Helian Qing moved his face closer to Han Yang's, the two now had less than an inch between them. He clicked his tongue, then said, "It's a 'Husband, hurry up and console me—coax me' kind of expression, and I really can't stand it anymore."

Han Yang had kissed him? He had kissed him of his own free will?!

"Alright then, since your certificate has been issued, now we just have to pick a date for your wedding ceremony, yeah?" Mo Suya began.

"..."

"A’YangT/n: "A/Ah" prefix used to address someone younger., you're not eating enough. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and every bit of you is thinner." Mo Suya chided, "I didn't know this is how A’Qing takes care of others."

"You don't have to worry about that." Helian Qing stated in response.


! ! !

"That's not necessary, okay..." Han Yang chimed in. Me planning a wedding ceremony... that kind of beautiful scene, is too unbelievable.

However, in that split second, Han Yang, unsure of whether it was due to a burst of courage birthed from the rage welling up deep within him, whipped his head back towards Helian Qing's direction and pursed his lips with an unyielding glare aimed at the other man.

Han Yang's hands again returned to his face, while he simply kept his mouth shut.

"What?" Han Yang asked.

"..." Han Yang quietly closed his mouth in response.


Helian Qing had moved to close the small gap between them, then pressed his lips against Han Yang's. His fingers, still grasping the boy's chin, released a faint pinch, causing Han Yang to relax his jaw at the sudden nip. Seizing this opportunity, he plunged his tongue inside where it met the warm, slippery tip of Han Yang's.

"Chicken." Helian Qing teased.

Han Yang had even forgotten to struggle, dazedly allowing his mouth to be played with and teased by that man. By that nimble tongue, which seemed as if it wanted to overwhelm his orifice in the same way a storm churns the seas[6].

Those spoken words of his only made Han Yang recount how, just a moment ago, he was inside his mouth, wantonly teasing his tongue with his own. Han Yang's brain "buzzed" before firing off an explosion.


Han Yang had even forgotten to struggle, dazedly allowing his mouth to be played with and teased by that man. By that nimble tongue, which seemed as if it wanted to overwhelm his orifice in the same way a storm churns the seas[6]. Doing its best to lick and lap at the soft lining within his mouth, yet despite that, was still not at all sated so the man simply hooked it with his own, entangling them, sucking.

Following this, neither of those two men spoke a word for the remainder of their journey to the Helian family's mansion.

Next there was Helian Cheng, he does not say very much. And regarding the matter of him being with Helian Qing, he had not said much of anything, yet he had nonetheless made both of them feel at ease, with a sense of mutual understanding.

"What?" Han Yang asked.


Han Yang felt his heartbeat grind to a halt. Frozen, as he laid on his seat, not daring to make a move.

In the end, Helian Qing gently caressed Han Yang's lips before retreating, then tossed the little book back into the lad's open hands. Taking a glance at the other, Helian Qing saw the boy was still stuck in his daze and so added, "As I said, my seal."

"You look like I ate your tongue." Helian Qing remarked.

"..."


After getting his fill from their kiss, Helian Qing withdrew himself from Han Yang's mouth, then released the fingers grasping the younger man's lips, but not before using his thumb to erase the moisture gathered between the gap of those freed lips. Seeing the "soul-departed[7]" expression on the still stunned boy, he was unable to stop his brows from knitting as he nudged the dazed one, "Wake up, and stop looking like you've already ascended to heaven."

Han Yang's spirit made an abrupt return and his hand moved to cover his mouth while his eyes locked onto Helian Qing's.

Lastly, there was Lao Yezi, who from the beginning, seemed more than pleased with the matter between himself and Helian Qing.

Meaning: utterly stunned/shocked.

"Then, I guess we'll have our dinner now." Mo Suya announced.

The lad's heart was flooded with these actions of his! Not only that, but also of Helian Qing's kiss and his own initiated kiss both surprisingly having not one ounce of disgust trailing them. His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.


Han Yang's spirit made an abrupt return and his hand moved to cover his mouth while his eyes locked onto Helian Qing's.

"Tsk." Helian Qing sneered, his speech became indifferent, "I really should make you see the look you have on your face right now."

"How do you know I looked at you?" Han Yang questioned a bit too hastily, then later responded, "So could it have been that you were looking at me from the beginning...?"

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.

"I don't mind." Han Yang immediately responded, since this was what he really wished for so he would have more time to come up with a way to explain everything to his grandpa.

"..." Remembering how they just received their marriage certificate that same afternoon, Han Yang could only find the excuse, "Doing this sort of thing outside isn't proper."

Still excited from the man's actions not too long ago, Han Yang's brain was on fire and after what he himself had done, he felt absolutely foolish. His heart had also become a tiny erupting volcano, one whose magma heaved, wanting very much to submerge him.

When that realisation finally hit Helian Qing, a jolt of electricity quickly spread from his ears leaving him a state of utter satiety, his lips still tingling with a bit of pain from where Han Yang had bumped into him. He now stared intensely at the boy's flushed ears, to the point where he could almost imagine how soft they appeared to be. So, completely unable from stopping his hand’s movement, it reached out, wanting to touch those reddened lobes. But, just as his arm hung outstretched, the loud blare of a horn interrupted him.


"You look like I ate your tongue." Helian Qing remarked.

Those spoken words of his only made Han Yang recount how, just a moment ago, he was inside his mouth, wantonly teasing his tongue with his own. Han Yang's brain "buzzed" before firing off an explosion.

"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.

The traffic light had turned green.

"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.


"Y-y-you... can't you... be a bit more decent?" Han Yang stuttered with a reddened face.

Chapter Thirteen

Han Yang, "..." Master Helian, even your rewards are one of a kind.

Helian Qing pressed his lips chastely onto the younger man's without probing any deeper, simply holding them snug against the boy's. Yet, that simple touch triggered a thunderous pounding to arise in young man's heart, and his mind to set itself ablaze.

"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.

Beside him, Helian was rather delighted and so gifted Han Yang with a chopstick of greens, "Your reward."

"Oh, you only just registered your marriage and you're already defending him, huh?" Mo Suya said with a smile.


"Is kissing my wife not decent?" Helian Qing asked with a raised brow.

Lifting his head to look at the man, Han Yang's heart was moved.

"Y-y-you... can't you... be a bit more decent?" Han Yang stuttered with a reddened face.

"That's great then." Mo Suya gleamed, reaching out to stroke the boy's head before adding, "You're a good boy, but remember, if you have any problems or anything else you can just tell me and I'll help you fix it, okay?"

Next there was Helian Cheng, he does not say very much. And regarding the matter of him being with Helian Qing, he had not said much of anything, yet he had nonetheless made both of them feel at ease, with a sense of mutual understanding.

"You don't have to explain." Han Yang politely replied at once, "He really does treat me very well, and takes awfully good care of me too."


"..." Remembering how they just received their marriage certificate that same afternoon, Han Yang could only find the excuse, "Doing this sort of thing outside isn't proper."

Helian Qing moved his face closer to Han Yang's, the two now had less than an inch between them. He clicked his tongue, then said, "It's a 'Husband, hurry up and console me—coax me' kind of expression, and I really can't stand it anymore."

Han Yang felt his heartbeat grind to a halt. Frozen, as he laid on his seat, not daring to make a move.

"A’YangT/n: "A/Ah" prefix used to address someone younger., you're not eating enough. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and every bit of you is thinner." Mo Suya chided, "I didn't know this is how A’Qing takes care of others."

"..."

Han Yang looked at the man's profile. His expression was indifferent as always, but now he could sense the man had known what he was thinking, and so, utilized this method in an attempt to console him.

Helian Qing had moved to close the small gap between them, then pressed his lips against Han Yang's. His fingers, still grasping the boy's chin, released a faint pinch, causing Han Yang to relax his jaw at the sudden nip. Seizing this opportunity, he plunged his tongue inside where it met the warm, slippery tip of Han Yang's.

Han Yang's hands again returned to his face, while he simply kept his mouth shut.


"Oh." Helian Qing mused, "You mean we'll return home then continue this, yeah?"

"That's great then." Mo Suya gleamed, reaching out to stroke the boy's head before adding, "You're a good boy, but remember, if you have any problems or anything else you can just tell me and I'll help you fix it, okay?"

A split second was all it took for Han Yang to feel his heart was again moved, pushing him to unseal his lips and say, "Helian Qing..."

"Let them arrange it for themselves, alright?" Helian Cheng commented.

"A’YangT/n: "A/Ah" prefix used to address someone younger., you're not eating enough. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and every bit of you is thinner." Mo Suya chided, "I didn't know this is how A’Qing takes care of others."

"It's a bit late right now." Helian Qing said, "I'll arrange a better time to discuss this later."


"No!"

Soft lips touched. Helian Qing still lacked any semblance of a reaction. Even when Han Yang withdrew to resume his earlier posture once again and fix his gaze on the scenery beyond the car's window. With him sitting in such a position, Helian Qing was unable to properly view his expression, only managing to catch a glimpse of his originally pale neck, with how red it had become, now seeming as though it was stained in blood.


"I hear you." Helian Qing stared at him, then started the car.

"Oh, you only just registered your marriage and you're already defending him, huh?" Mo Suya said with a smile.

"..." Han Yang in response just stared at Helian Qing, unable to avoid that all too familiar embarrassment before he countered, "What nonsense are you saying now, huh!"

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.

So, when it came to this matter, he was left both confused and curious.

"You don't have to worry about that." Helian Qing stated in response.

"Alright then, since your certificate has been issued, now we just have to pick a date for your wedding ceremony, yeah?" Mo Suya began.


"It's alright." Helian Qing suddenly added.

"A’YangT/n: "A/Ah" prefix used to address someone younger., you're not eating enough. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and every bit of you is thinner." Mo Suya chided, "I didn't know this is how A’Qing takes care of others."

In an instant, Helian Qing pulled the car to a stop at the the roadside. He then outstretched his hand to hold Han Yang's chin, turning the lad's face towards his own, "What happened? Why do you look like you want to cry?"

Han Yang laughed at that, not saying anything more. Without warning, those parents of his who used him as the settlement for their debt, entered his mind. Even thinking, maybe in those people's hearts, they had never had even an iota of consideration for him.

"Oh, you only just registered your marriage and you're already defending him, huh?" Mo Suya said with a smile.

"Why do you want to know?" Han Yang said with surprise.

Helian Qing had moved to close the small gap between them, then pressed his lips against Han Yang's. His fingers, still grasping the boy's chin, released a faint pinch, causing Han Yang to relax his jaw at the sudden nip. Seizing this opportunity, he plunged his tongue inside where it met the warm, slippery tip of Han Yang's.

Oh My God! I actually chose to kiss Helian Qing!!


Which made Han Yang take down his hands and turn towards him, just to hear him further say, "You don't have to worry about it, there's no reason to."

Han Yang had even forgotten to struggle, dazedly allowing his mouth to be played with and teased by that man. By that nimble tongue, which seemed as if it wanted to overwhelm his orifice in the same way a storm churns the seas[6]. Doing its best to lick and lap at the soft lining within his mouth, yet despite that, was still not at all sated so the man simply hooked it with his own, entangling them, sucking.

"Aunt also said we should be good." Han Yang added.

Han Yang's hands again returned to his face, while he simply kept his mouth shut.

Helian Qing had moved to close the small gap between them, then pressed his lips against Han Yang's. His fingers, still grasping the boy's chin, released a faint pinch, causing Han Yang to relax his jaw at the sudden nip. Seizing this opportunity, he plunged his tongue inside where it met the warm, slippery tip of Han Yang's.

"What did my mom say to you about me?" Helian Qing changed the topic.

Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Han Yang's entire being, so his only response right then was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and Helian Qing.

"Aunt also said we should be good." Han Yang added.

However, in that split second, Han Yang, unsure of whether it was due to a burst of courage birthed from the rage welling up deep within him, whipped his head back towards Helian Qing's direction and pursed his lips with an unyielding glare aimed at the other man.


A split second was all it took for Han Yang to feel his heart was again moved, pushing him to unseal his lips and say, "Helian Qing..."

"..."


"If you have so much free time, you might as well spend it fancying your husband." The man cut in.

Beside him, Helian was rather delighted and so gifted Han Yang with a chopstick of greens, "Your reward."

Soft lips touched. Helian Qing still lacked any semblance of a reaction. Even when Han Yang withdrew to resume his earlier posture once again and fix his gaze on the scenery beyond the car's window.

"Alright then, since your certificate has been issued, now we just have to pick a date for your wedding ceremony, yeah?" Mo Suya began.

"You should check out your reflection in the mirror," Helian Qing remarked, interrupting the lad's contemplation.

"Well, it is mainly about the both of you, so it's perfectly alright if you don't want to do it. But both families still need to get together and have a meal." Mo Suya stated.


"..."

"Why do you want to know?" Han Yang said with surprise.


Han Yang's hands again returned to his face, while he simply kept his mouth shut.

"I hear you." Helian Qing stared at him, then started the car.

"What?" Han Yang asked.

Han Yang covered his face, leant himself back into the seat having nothing left in life to love—utterly hopeless.

"I'm fine." Han Yang refuted.

Helian Qing had moved to close the small gap between them, then pressed his lips against Han Yang's.

Seizing this opportunity, he plunged his tongue inside where it met the warm, slippery tip of Han Yang's.

"That's fine, so long as A’Yang doesn't mind it," Mo Suya replied.

"It's alright." Helian Qing suddenly added.
