Chapter 22.2

Picking up the stars was impossible, so Qin Shaocheng instead took Jiang Yishan to Bryce Canyon to watch the meteor shower. The two of them boarded Qin Shaocheng’s private plane, and when they arrived, they even had someone especially arrange their residence and plan their itinerary.

For the first time, Jiang Yishan witnessed the financial resources of a rich and powerful family. As he laid in his tent and watched the brilliant meteor shower above him, he felt how small and insignificant he was. Turning his head to look at Qin Shaocheng, he began to realize that this person before him really was the son of a rich, powerful, and noble family. There was such a large gap between them. Qin Shaocheng was so good and scary rich.

Qin Shaocheng didn’t notice the change in his mood back then, only asking if he was still angry.

Jiang Yishan shook his head and said he wasn’t.

Qin Shaosheng relaxed and held Jiang Yishan in his arms. He said he would protect Jiang Yishan in the future and never hurt him again.

Jiang Yishan huddled in his arms and asked in a low voice: “Then, can you protect me forever?”

“Can.”

“Can you give me everything I want?”

“As long as I can.” Qin Shaocheng intimately kissed Jiang Yishan’s nose.

Jiang Yishan didn’t make a sound.

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yishan said, “What if I demand for something unreasonable? Can you also promise me?”

“As long as it doesn’t offend heaven and reason [1].” Qin Shaocheng vowed. Jiang Yishan in his embrace was really loveable. He teased him: “Christmas is coming. What do you want this time? The moon or Santa?”

Jiang Yishan hugged him tightly. “You dress up as Santa ma? [2]”

“You think too much, my darling Xiao Shan.” Qin Shaocheng kissed his pretty face with a smile. “But I can take you to Santa’s hometown to play.”

Whatever young master Qin says, goes. On that same day, they arranged to go to Finland before Christmas time. Jiang Yishan couldn’t stand the climate there and kept saying he was cold. Qin Shaocheng opened his coat and wrapped Jiang Yishan in his arms like a tangyuan [3]. They held each other on the street like conjoined babies, surrounded by the celebrating crowd.

“Is it cold or not? Is it cold or not?” Qin Shaocheng rubbed Jiang Yishan in his arms, smiling contentedly.

“It’s not cold.” Jiang Yishan had a thin face. “But people will laugh at you like this!”

“No one will laugh.” Qin Shaocheng had been kissing him all the time. “They’re just jealous of me.”

“There are so many people ah! Don’t kiss me! They’ll see!”

“You’re still carrying the burden of an idol? Don’t worry, no one can recognize you.”

Jiang Yishan pouted after listening. “When I’m red [4], everyone would recognize me.”

“Okay. You’ll definitely be red.” Qin Shaocheng directly held Jiang Yishan’s face and kissed him deeply.

That night, Jiang Yishan wore only Qin Shaocheng’s shirt as he sat on the hotel’s huge bed. Facing Qin Shaocheng who had just emerged from his shower in the bathroom, he nervously forgot all the words he had prepared. The expression in Qin Shaocheng’s eyes were really dreadful. He looked like he wanted to eat him.

There was no light in the room, but floor-to-ceiling windows were open, letting the moonlight pour in on Jiang Yishan’s bare legs. Qin Shaocheng came over and crouched by his feet, held them, and kissed the scars on them that were gradually fading.

Jiang Yishan subconsciously wanted to retract his feet, but Qin Shaocheng grasped them tightly.

“You are seducing me.” Qin Shaocheng slid his palm to Jiang Yishan’s calf. “Who taught you to do this?”

Jiang Yishan shyly grabbed the pillow beside him to block his face. He was ashamed to death.

“Who taught you?” Qin Shaocheng pushed aside the lapels on his shirt, revealing his white and soft skin in the moonlight. He lowered his head to lick the tip of Jiang Yishan’s chest. “My Xiao Shan is corrupted by bad examples.”

Jiang Yishan’s voice came out stuffy from under the pillow. “Nobody taught me! I wore it myself.”

Qin Shaocheng pulled away the pillow in Jiang Yishan’s hand, leaned over Jiang Yishan’s body, and like a wolf, he gazed at Jiang Yishan’s extremely red face. “Do you think you’re ready?”

Jiang Yishan looked at him and siad softly, “You said you’ll be good to me and give me everything.”

Qin Shaocheng looked at him, his eyes encouraging him to keep speaking.

“So…” Jiang Yishan plucked up courage and interlaced his fingers with Qin Shaocheng, firmly holding them together. “So I want you to love me.” He looked at him expectantly: “I want you all my life.”

Qin Shaocheng no longer needed to and he was also unable to keep on restraining himself.

He went crazy that night as he demanded to touch Jiang Yishan. He couldn’t kiss him enough. He held Jiang Yishan in his arms and made love to him all night. Even when Jiang Yishan cried and begged for him to stop, he turned a deaf ear. He wanted him both wild and fast. He was finally his.

Later, when he returned home, his family knew of their relationship. At that time, Qin Shaocheng thought that he would have no one else but Jiang Yishan. He went to City A with Jiang Yishan with no hesitation. He promised Jiang Yishan that he would be with him forever.

Recalling what he once said, Qin Shaocheng held Jiang Yishan’s hand that was ice-cold because of the IV drip. One by one, he entwined his fingers with Jiang Yishan’s and tightly clasped them together.

Qin Shaocheng stood up and bent down slightly to kiss Jiang Yishan’s cheek. “Get well soon. I will compensate you for a lifetime.
