_{"Gege, you're so freaking awesome."}
The two remained silent throughout the rest of their ride until Bai Chen brought the bike to a nice and safe stop next to the entrance of a shop that looked rather... sketchy.

"Gege, you're so freaking awesome."

_{Bai Chen then pulled Chi Shang to sit on the sofa opposite that man, whom he then looked at with a frown.}Chi Shan was now lost in the memories of those dark brown eyes. They held a layer of blurriness on the surface that was an attempt to keep others at bay—an attempt to keep them from delving deeper. But to Chi Shang, he could still see beyond them, crystal clear.

Bai Chen then pulled Chi Shang to sit on the sofa opposite that man, whom he then looked at with a frown.

_{"Is this how you do it, Gege?"}
Chi Shang took a look at the sparse trees surrounding the area and the road that didn't have a single pedestrian, then turned his gaze back towards that gloomy-looking storefront with its aged sign peeling.

"Is this how you do it, Gege?"

At that very moment, Chi Shang honestly conjured up a singular thought: Did Bai Chen bring me here to knock me out and steal my kidneys?

_{Bai Chen was half a head taller than Chi Shang, so his entire body embraced Chi Shang's tightly, and he was able to lower his head slightly to press a kiss at the corner of Chi Shang's eye. He then grabbed Chi Shang's other hand and drew the bow with an arrow, releasing it through the pair of melded hands, one cold and one warm, to land on the bullseye's dead centre.}Bai Chen suppressed his smile and unconsciously tightened his grip on Chi Shang's shoulder.

After Chi Shang shoved him away, Bai Chen shot the grumbling guy a pissed-off glare.

_{"Yes, of course. My favourite thing in the world is catching young boys like you to lock up here and play with. So, if you get scared, just keep holding on tightly to the hand of this boyfriend of yours, alright?"}
He asked frankly, but all Bai Chen did was scoff twice in return before putting their helmets away, and then he led Chi Shang through the door.

_{At that very moment, Chi Shang honestly conjured up a singular thought: {Did Bai Chen bring me here to knock me out and steal my kidneys?}}After a couple of seconds, Bai Chen laughed out loud at his words. It was a laugh and expression Chi Shang had never seen on his face before this instant; he was laughing recklessly. In the end, he even leaned on Chi Shang's shoulder to wipe the triumphant tears that spilled from his eyes.

Chi Shang couldn't help but scoff and call that guy a "crazy bastard" at that guy's teasing words. But, even so, he still did not let go of the hand he was holding.

_{Bai Chen encircled Chi Shang from behind, burying his head in the other guy's shoulder before pressing a light nip on his ear.}
The inside of the store was day-to-night compared to its exterior. It looked like a crime den on the outside, but the inside could only be described as a paradise for the youth.

Bai Chen encircled Chi Shang from behind, burying his head in the other guy's shoulder before pressing a light nip on his ear.

_{"Bai Chen! I can hear you fυcking laughing all the way from the room back here!"}
Chi Shang's gaze fluttered to every inch of that interior, from the paintings hanging on the wall to the clearly claѕsified country names on the bookshelf and the landscape photos filling the wall like a mural, before his eyes again made their way back to Bai Chen.

_{Yan Qing was finally willing to pull those narrowed eyes of his wide at that moment, his dark brown eyes scanning back and forth between Bai Chen and Chi Shang.}Chi Shang got a clear look at the cigarette brand; it wasn't an expensive one, just a regular pack of Huanghelou.

_{"Yeah... something did happen to him before, and it's something he doesn't want to talk about either. But... how did you know about that?"}"Alright, then. So please, Chi Shang-gege, teach me well."

_{"Two days, three days... who knows?"}

"Why? I'm with my boyfriend, so why would I ever be ashamed?"

_{Yan Qing sent him a smile, but then he turned around and left without ever looking back.}"The owner of this shop... did something happen to him before."

Yan Qing sent him a smile, but then he turned around and left without ever looking back.

_{Yan Qing, the man in question, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and picked up a cigarette from the box on the table, giving it a light.

_{Sorrowful and filled with cherished memories of things long lost, such things were held within them. They were like a well that had lost its source of water, so looking within that long-dried place would give a person a chill at a glance.}

_{Chi Shang hung his head low, his voice pronounced as he spoke.}
Following the direction of the sound, an old T-shirt and flip-flop-wearing, long-haired man walked out of the shadows.

_{Bai Chen suppressed his smile and unconsciously tightened his grip on Chi Shang's shoulder.}
His half-squinted eyes were now as black as ink, and his chin was covered in a five-o'clock shadow that made it clear it had been a long time since he last shaved. Yet, despite him looking dead like a corporate slave whose life has been sυcked dry by their job, his body still stood firm and exuded a sense of recklessness and being carefree.

Bai Chen suppressed his smile and unconsciously tightened his grip on Chi Shang's shoulder.

_{At that very moment, Chi Shang honestly conjured up a singular thought: {Did Bai Chen bring me here to knock me out and steal my kidneys?}}Chi Shang's ears were now tinged with crimson, and that strange feeling that had made his chеst uncomfortable had flown off to who knows where for who knows how long now. All over his body right then was the gentle fragrance of the soap emanating from Bai Chen's body, mixed with his light breaths.

"Why'd you come here? What do you want?"

_{"Oh, that's not an easy ask, you little brat."}Bai Chen then snatched the box from Yan Qing and led Chi Shang out after muttering a careless farewell. Then, while the two sat on the bike, Chi Shang turned around by chance and happened to see Yan Qing standing at the window, their gazes meeting.

_{Bai Chen then pulled Chi Shang to sit on the sofa opposite that man, whom he then looked at with a frown.}Chi Shang also picked up a bow, weighing it in his hand, before pulling an arrow from the quiver. He then loaded it, drew it back with the string, and let it fly in one go. The shot arrow cut through the air, then steadily landed at the bullseye mark with a thud.

_{After Chi Shang shoved him away, Bai Chen shot the grumbling guy a pissed-off glare.}iana: ge (older brother), is a normal term to used between two guys, friends, it's basically bro and it can be used by both guys and girls to a guy who's older (there are other uses, but they don't matter here.) Gege (still brother) is a more childish term that little boys/girls use towards older boys, or girls/women to older guys or boyfriends. It becomes more like the Korean "oppa" when used by a girl towards a guy like this, so it's not going to be used between guy friends outside of somebody joking around... or flirting.

After Chi Shang shoved him away, Bai Chen shot the grumbling guy a pissed-off glare.

_{Goddamn it. It's not easy to get this little cat to be as well-behaved as today, and I haven't even taken advantage of it that much yet.}

Bai Shen's "Gege" even caused his body to tingle, sending a jolt of electricity all the way from his ears to his groin.

But before he could continue, Bai Chen, afraid that guy would wag his tongue and spill out all the unsavoury secrets in his past, hurriedly replied:

Chi Shan was now lost in the memories of those dark brown eyes. They held a layer of blurriness on the surface that was an attempt to keep others at bay—an attempt to keep them from delving deeper. But to Chi Shang, he could still see beyond them, crystal clear.

It was rarely seen, but Chi Shang did nothing to refute him. Instead, he kept silent for a while longer before slowly asking:

_{But before he could continue, Bai Chen, afraid that guy would wag his tongue and spill out all the unsavoury secrets in his past, hurriedly replied:}
Sorrowful and filled with cherished memories of things long lost, such things were held within them. They were like a well that had lost its source of water, so looking within that long-dried place would give a person a chill at a glance.

But before he could continue, Bai Chen, afraid that guy would wag his tongue and spill out all the unsavoury secrets in his past, hurriedly replied:

_{"The boss here is as much of a show-off as you are."}Chi Shang got a clear look at the cigarette brand; it wasn't an expensive one, just a regular pack of Huanghelou.

"The boss here is as much of a show-off as you are."

_{"Why'd you come here? What do you want?"}
Bai Chen suddenly held Chi Shang, patting him gently on the back before speaking soothing words close to his ear.

"Why'd you come here? What do you want?"

_{"{Gege}, you're so freaking awesome."}The two remained silent throughout the rest of their ride until Bai Chen brought the bike to a nice and safe stop next to the entrance of a shop that looked rather... sketchy.

"Gege, you're so freaking awesome."

_{At that very moment, Chi Shang honestly conjured up a singular thought: Did Bai Chen bring me here to knock me out and steal my kidneys?}
"It's all in the past now, yeah? Don't worry yourself over it, alright?"

At that very moment, Chi Shang honestly conjured up a singular thought: Did Bai Chen bring me here to knock me out and steal my kidneys?

_{Bai Chen encircled Chi Shang from behind, burying his head in the other guy's shoulder before pressing a light nip on his ear.}Bai Chen felt a bit jealous at this reaction, so he grabbed Chi Shang by the chin, forcing his head to turn his way.

_{Again, Chi Shang felt as though Bai Chen would drive him crazy.}
Yan Qing was now leaning on the door frаme, a black box in one hand while the other scratched his hair as he pouted.

Again, Chi Shang felt as though Bai Chen would drive him crazy.

_{The two remained silent throughout the rest of their ride until Bai Chen brought the bike to a nice and safe stop next to the entrance of a shop that looked rather... sketchy.}The inside of the store was day-to-night compared to its exterior. It looked like a crime den on the outside, but the inside could only be described as a paradise for the youth.

_{Bai Chen suppressed his smile and unconsciously tightened his grip on Chi Shang's shoulder.}It was rarely seen, but Chi Shang did nothing to refute him. Instead, he kept silent for a while longer before slowly asking:

Bai Chen suppressed his smile and unconsciously tightened his grip on Chi Shang's shoulder.

_{"Mr. Chi Shang, that's quite improper, you know? Staring at another man so flagrantly, you're in a daze, right in front of your boyfriend's eyes."}Yan Qing sent him a smile, but then he turned around and left without ever looking back.

"Mr. Chi Shang, that's quite improper, you know? Staring at another man so flagrantly, you're in a daze, right in front of your boyfriend's eyes."

_{Bai Chen was half a head taller than Chi Shang, so his entire body embraced Chi Shang's tightly, and he was able to lower his head slightly to press a kiss at the corner of Chi Shang's eye. He then grabbed Chi Shang's other hand and drew the bow with an arrow, releasing it through the pair of melded hands, one cold and one warm, to land on the bullseye's dead centre.}
"How long are you two going to keep hugging each other? There's still someone else here, you know."

_{After Chi Shang shoved him away, Bai Chen shot the grumbling guy a pissed-off glare.}

_{"I came here for 'that.'"}Bai Chen then snatched the box from Yan Qing and led Chi Shang out after muttering a careless farewell. Then, while the two sat on the bike, Chi Shang turned around by chance and happened to see Yan Qing standing at the window, their gazes meeting.

"I came here for 'that.'"

_{Chi Shan was now lost in the memories of those dark brown eyes. They held a layer of blurriness on the surface that was an attempt to keep others at bay—an attempt to keep them from delving deeper. But to Chi Shang, he could still see beyond them, crystal clear.}Yan Qing, the man in question, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and picked up a cigarette from the box on the table, giving it a light. But he didn't smoke it, only holding it between his lips, and then rested his right hand on his knees before cursing Bai Chen with the line, "You little brat."

_{A huge sigh of relief left Bai Chen, who then turned to see Chi Shang dazedly staring at Yan Qing's departing figure, having no idea what exactly was on his mind.}
Goddamn it. It's not easy to get this little cat to be as well-behaved as today, and I haven't even taken advantage of it that much yet.

A huge sigh of relief left Bai Chen, who then turned to see Chi Shang dazedly staring at Yan Qing's departing figure, having no idea what exactly was on his mind.

_{"The owner of this shop... did something happen to him before."}"Is this how you do it, Gege?"

"The owner of this shop... did something happen to him before."

_{"Alright, then. So please, Chi Shang-gege, teach me well."}
Bai Chen then snatched the box from Yan Qing and led Chi Shang out after muttering a careless farewell. Then, while the two sat on the bike, Chi Shang turned around by chance and happened to see Yan Qing standing at the window, their gazes meeting.

_{His half-squinted eyes were now as black as ink, and his chin was covered in a five-o'clock shadow that made it clear it had been a long time since he last shaved. Yet, despite him looking dead like a corporate slave whose life has been sυcked dry by their job, his body still stood firm and exuded a sense of recklessness and being carefree.}"The boss here is as much of a show-off as you are."

_{"My dear Xiao Chi, do you know how to shoot an arrow? If not, your dear boyfriend can teach you for free, you know?."}Chi Shang took a look at the sparse trees surrounding the area and the road that didn't have a single pedestrian, then turned his gaze back towards that gloomy-looking storefront with its aged sign peeling.

"My dear Xiao Chi, do you know how to shoot an arrow? If not, your dear boyfriend can teach you for free, you know?."

_{Chi Shan was now lost in the memories of those dark brown eyes. They held a layer of blurriness on the surface that was an attempt to keep others at bay—an attempt to keep them from delving deeper. But to Chi Shang, he could still see beyond them, crystal clear.}
Chi Shang now stared at that isolated little shop standing at the side of the road, the thought striking him right then that this place more closely resembled a tomb than it did a home—one built to imprison a living person—to lock them away from the outside world.

_{Following the direction of the sound, an old T-shirt and flip-flop-wearing, long-haired man walked out of the shadows.}
Bai Chen noticed the change in Chi Shang's mood, so he changed his plan from taking Chi Shang to the arcade, making a U-turn, to taking him to the archery range instead.

_{Chi Shang's ears were now tinged with crimson, and that strange feeling that had made his chеst uncomfortable had flown off to who knows where for who knows how long now.

_{Bai Chen then pulled Chi Shang to sit on the sofa opposite that man, whom he then looked at with a frown.}
Chi Shang's earlobes were more sensitive than the average person's, so the instant they were captured by Bai Chen's lips, his entire body softened. Bai Shen's "Gege" even caused his body to tingle, sending a jolt of electricity all the way from his ears to his groin.
