Chapter 8 – The Riposte (Turning the Tables on You)

When Su Yuan finally woke up the morning after, it was practically 11 am. He was huddled deep inside Ning Jun’s embrace with his head resting against the space between Ning Jun’s neck and shoulders. His hands were interlocked with Ning Jun’s own hands and lay resting by their waists.

Su Yuan blinked his eyes as he shifted to move from this embrace, however, Ning Jun reacted by letting go of his hands, then placed both his hands on Su Yuan’s waist, firmly squeezing the area, as he pulled Su Yuan up to the same level as he was in bed.

“Is your throat still sore?”

Su Yuan glanced at the handsome face right in front of him and gave a truthful answer, “Yes, it’s still sore.”

Ning Jun pressed a kiss to Su Yuan’s brow, “Just wait a while, I’ll go get you some water. I still have something to ask you.”

Ning Jun seemed a little nervous, and his expression was a bit wooden. And for some unknown reason, Su Yuan suddenly felt a bit anxious too.

As Ning Jun locked eyes with Su Yuan for a while, his ears began to burn up, but he still managed to keep a straight face when he asked, “Do you still like me?”

Su Yuan blinked in surprise, but answered anyway, “Yes.”

He paused for a second before adding, “I always have.”

“Only me?”

Su Yuan meekly nodded his head, “Only you.”

If Ning Jun had a tail, it probably would have been wagging like crazy right now.

He tried to hide the uplifted corners of his mouth but eventually failed as he broke into a smile. However, he felt that he could not just let Su Yuan off so easily, thus he put on a firm strict voice as he continued to question Su Yuan, “If that’s the case, can you promise to never flirt with or invite the attention of other people?”

Su Yuan felt that the question was a bit odd, but never would he have guessed that in Ning Jun’s mind, he was actually a playboy Casanova.

Su Yuan tightly gripped the corner of the bedsheet as he answered, “Alright. I promise.”

Ning Jun was now focused on Su Yuan as he continued in that vein, “And that from now on, you will only ever like me.”

Even though he had already said that, Su Yuan gently repeated what he said, “Alright, I will only like you.”

Ning Jun scrunched his eyes and made his next demand, “From tomorrow onward, come and work for me.”

Su Yuan leaned against Ning Jun’s shoulders, as he moved to kiss the corner of Ning Jun’s mouth. It was just like how a small pet might show a human their vulnerable side, his demeanor fragile and adorable as he said, “Anything you want.”

Ning Jun’s expression was unfazed, but inside, it felt like millions of fireworks were going off.

In his mind, he was thinking about something else. In the past, Su Yuan had an influential family background of status and power and had had the freedom to do as he pleased, while he had no power to get him to stay. Now, Su Yuan no longer had that freedom, and would now be his. Completely and utterly only his.

Just now, a thought had flashed through his mind, if Su Yuan had answered that he no longer liked him, he would have forced Su Yuan to stay by his side.

Ning Jun lightly nudged Su Yuan’s nose with his own, as he muttered under his breath, “Who’d have guessed, that after such a long time, it’s now my turn to force you.”

Su Yuan made small head-shaking movements as he earnestly answered, “You’re not forcing me, I’m completely willing.”

He did not know whether Ning Jun wanted him to stay was because of some remnants of affection or if it was because he enjoyed sleeping with him, but that did not matter to him. All he wanted was to be able to stay by Ning Jun’s side, this was the selfish desire he kept hidden.

That one moment when they locked eyes in that long corridor, had been destined to become his lifelong yearning.

Ning Jun moved to get off the bed, saying, “Let me get you some water, someone will send us something to eat later.”

Su Yuan reacted quickly by grabbing Ning Jun’s arm, and Ning Jun looked back with a confused look.

Su Yuan laid back down on the bed with the covers over his chest. His dainty collar bone was exposed, red lovebites still visible as he held onto Ning Jun’s arm. He bit his lips and turned a watery gaze toward Ning Jun as he asked, “Aren’t we going to do it again?”

Instantly, Ning Jun’s midriff tightened, and he swore under his breath. Yet, he still gave in to his urges and forcefully pressed a kiss against that pair of naughty red lips that were always teasing him.

Halfway through the kiss, Su Yuan felt like he was beginning to grow dizzy when he suddenly became aware of Ning Jun’s moving hand. The hand had already traveled downward from his waist, and one finger had begun to probe him from behind.

His body had been cleaned earlier, so entering it now was a dry and somewhat uncomfortable process. He wrinkled his brow as he tried to control his breathing, remembering to relax his body too.

Ning Jun was not oblivious to his reaction, and instantly felt aroused and impatient. Taking his ear between his teeth, he whispered to him, “It could hardly even close last night, and it’s become so tight again today… I really ought to give you a good f*cking.”

Regardless of how many times Su Yuan has heard Ning Jun’s dirty mouth in bed, he still managed to turn red every time. However, unlike previous times, he did not react by covering Ning Jun’s mouth, instead, he toyed with his lips, then reached for Ning Jun’s other hand. Pushing his chest out, he rubbed his little erect nub against Ning Jun’s palm, calling out shyly and lustfully, “Jun Gege… Won’t you rub it?”

Ning Jun felt that Su Yuan would be the death of him one day, and he began firmly squeezing Su Yuan’s nipples. The nipples had already been the victims of much abuse the night before, and now they were slightly swollen, with an embarrassing shade of red. Staring at them, Ning Jun gritted his teeth with a warning, “Su Yuan!”

Su Yuan wrapped his arms around Ning Jun’s neck, battling his obvious embarrassment as he blinked away his tears, yet he still gently coaxed the other, “I’m here.”

……

Aunt Zhang had been told to bring lunch at exactly 12 noon, so when she arrived, she placed the food on the table. Just as she was about to leave she heard some noises coming from the bedroom.

Aunt Zhang was worried that it might have been some burglars, and hastily took a few steps forward. Alas, the only thing she heard was the muffled noises from inside the bedroom.

“F*ck, why are you so wanton?”

“I…En~… I’m only wanton when I’m with you, Jun Gege~…”

Aunt Zhang’s face soon turned a bright shade of red as she hurriedly exited the house. Only after she walked some distance did she stop to pat her racing heart, saying to herself,

“Young people nowadays ah…”
