Chapter 71 – Claiming sovereignty

Tang Qing followed Lu Bei all the way to their room.

Considering that students generally had limited budgets, the suite booked by the class leader didn’t have separate rooms. Instead, there were two beds placed together, with a sofa and a floor-to-ceiling window on the outside.

Although the room was small, the view from the floor-to-ceiling window was quite beautiful, with a picturesque landscape of mountains and water, along with several swimming pools visible.

Tang Qing was worried that this setting might not meet Lu Bei’s standards, considering his background as a wealthy young man. However, Lu Bei was completely satisfied with the room with the two beds pushed together. He had always wanted to sleep together with Tang Qing but never had the chance since middle school.

After dropping off their luggage, they were free to explore.

“There’s a horse stable here, and the hotel has hot springs,” Lu Bei checked the map and pointed to it, saying to Tang Qing, “We’ll go horseback riding in the afternoon and come back to relax in the hot springs at night.”

Tang Qing nodded, and they headed to the horse stable.

Tang Qing seemed to have a natural affinity with animals. Several beautiful horses gently nudged their heads into his palm, melting his heart.

The staff nearby smiled and introduced, “These horses aren’t usually this friendly. I don’t know what’s gotten into them today.”

Feeling pleasantly surprised, Tang Qing hesitated for a while before choosing a white horse.

“It has a good temperament, a slow horse,” the staff explained.

Lu Bei chose a black, tall horse and mounted it gracefully, displaying a strong presence on the horse. He was already tall and in good shape, exuding a powerful aura while riding the black horse. Today, he wore a black jacket and spiked calf-length boots, exuding a commanding presence. His posture was straight, his eyes sharp, and he radiated an air of maturity beyond his years.

Extending his hand to Tang Qing, Lu Bei said, “Tang Tang, let me take you for a ride first.”

Tang Qing grabbed Lu Bei’s hand and mounted the horse. It had been a while since he rode a horse, so he was a bit nervous and decided to ride along with Lu Bei to get used to it.

Lu Bei held Tang Qing with both hands, took the reins, and urged the horse into a trot.

As the horse trotted, Tang Qing, feeling the bumps, tightened his legs and inadvertently bumped into Lu Bei from time to time.

Lu Bei held Tang Qing tightly, leaning his head down slightly to rub against Tang Qing’s hair, which carried a faint fragrance. Tang Qing’s slender and flexible body, coupled with the pleasant scent, made carrying him in his arms feel exceptionally comfortable.

Embracing Tang Qing’s fragrant and soft body, Lu Bei’s mind wandered, and he didn’t pay attention to the path ahead.

The black horse ran gallantly, picking up speed and sometimes stepping on stones, causing the person on its back to sway. Tang Qing was securely held in Lu Bei’s arms, feeling the heat of the athlete’s chest against his back, occasionally rubbing up and down.

Lu Bei, not sure what he had grown up eating, was solidly built with muscles all over — arms, chest, and abs, all firm and sturdy. Even his buttocks felt like they were being hit by something hard.

“A-Bei, don’t you think this horse, while looking handsome, is actually quite unstable when running?”

“It’s normal. This horse is tall, with larger strides, so it’s like this,” Lu Bei explained nonchalantly.

Tang Qing nodded, not dwelling on it too much. With a sudden turn, he was pressed deeper into Lu Bei’s embrace, feeling Lu Bei’s warm breath on his neck.

He had forgotten that Lu Bei had been learning equestrianism since childhood, so the steadiness of the horse was under his control.

After circling several times, Tang Qing finally switched to the horse he chose and rode at a leisurely pace.

Observing Tang Qing ride for a few rounds, Lu Bei, with his experienced and graceful posture, made quite an impression. When not acting silly around Tang Qing, Lu Bei carried himself quite well.

Several passing girls sat watching, unable to tear their eyes away. Even a male student from another school stopped with his friends, staring at Lu Bei.

Unlike the girls who admired his appearance, this boy not only gazed at Lu Bei but also fixed his eyes on his boots. The boots were exquisitely crafted and made with high-quality materials, adorned with several studs on the side. The saw-toothed silhouette of the sole was clearly visible, indicating a hefty price tag.

The most enticing feature was the slightly raised front of the boot, forming a seductive angle with the ground, giving off a vibe of sensuality and dominance¹DAMMIT AUTHOR’S BOOT FETISH IS SHOWING REAL HARD.

Seeing his friend’s infatuated expression, another companion understood and chuckled, “Tan Yifan, with that lustful look, are you ready to kneel and lick his boots?”

His friend knew about his deep-seated boot fetish²before you call me out saying that its this cannon fodder with a boot fetish and not the author… bruh I read their author’s note in the extras… the author particularly likes boots, particularly for various types of boots, especially mid-calf boots that he liked seeing on others. But not all boots looked good on everyone; for instance, on those with average body proportions, the boots might make their feet look heavy and legs appear shorter.

Only someone like Lu Bei, with muscular upper body and long, powerful legs, looked especially sexy and appealing in them.

As they left the horse stable, Tang Qing couldn’t help but glance back at the black horse, admiring, “It’s handsome, but it really runs so unsteadily.”

Lu Bei also criticized, “This horse is too foolish, always heading towards areas with rocks.”

Fortunately, the horse didn’t understand human speech and affectionately nudged their faces, unaware of how many troubles it had caused them.

The two of them returned to the beach to join their classmates for a barbecue. With many people around, someone suggested playing Truth or Dare.

Everyone sat in a circle, spinning a bottle to determine who would answer a truth question or do a dare when it pointed at them.

The first person to spin the bottle was Zhang Chiheng, and it landed on Lu Bei.

Lu Bei glanced at him casually and said, “Truth.”

Knowing Lu Bei well, Zhang Chiheng knew that as long as he avoided questions about Tang Qing, Lu Bei wouldn’t get angry. He smirked and asked, “Bei-ge, when was the last time you masturbated?”

The girls instantly blushed; what a daring question!

All eyes turned to Lu Bei. The school grass, with his handsome features and great physique, exuded a strong sense of desire. Everyone secretly anticipated his response.

After a moment of recollection, Lu Bei straightforwardly answered, “Thursday morning.”

Everyone was stunned; that was just the day before yesterday, and they had an early class that day. While it was a normal thing, the idea of the charming and handsome school idol getting up early in the morning…

They felt like they had stumbled upon some earth-shattering revelation.

Zhang Chiheng chuckled and asked, “How long did it take?”

That question was quite shameless. The girls pretended to cover their ears while listening in secretly.

“It took quite a while, let me think…” Lu Bei pretended to think seriously, then playfully patted Zhang Chiheng’s shoulder, “That’s the second question, you little rascal.”

“Ah, our Bei-ge is sharp.” Zhang Chiheng laughed.

When it was Lu Bei’s turn to spin the bottle, it landed on a girl. Lacking enthusiasm, Lu Bei casually asked a simple question.

Meanwhile, Tang Qing was lost in thought. Thursday morning… Something felt off that day.

Just as he was piecing things together, he was chosen by another girl.

The girl looked excited, while her best friend next to her, a gentle-looking girl with long hair, shyly lowered her head.

The girl asked, “Tang Qing, what type of girl do you like?”

This question was clearly asked on behalf of her friend.

Tang Qing was taken aback; he had never really thought about this question.

He’s not sure about his own sexual orientation, but he couldn’t say he didn’t like girls. He had also admired some girls.

“Independent, strong, kind, and pure in character,” he thought seriously, adding, “I can’t think of anything else. I don’t have specific requirements. As long as it’s someone I like, it doesn’t matter what she’s like.”

The girl’s eyes lit up immediately, somewhat embarrassed, tucking her hair behind her ear and starting to contemplate the possibility of confessing her feelings.

Tang Qing didn’t notice this and spun the bottle after answering.

Beside him, Lu Bei’s expression was grim as he stared directly at Tang Qing, his eyes inscrutable.

The firelight cast a glow on Tang Qing’s fair face, accentuating his delicate and beautiful features. His bright almond-shaped eyes were surprisingly exquisite.

What did this mean?

Had Tang Qing already taken a liking to a girl? Why was his response so specific?

He said that as long as he met someone he liked, it didn’t matter what she was like.

Then what about him? Was Tang Qing going to be with a girl and leave him behind?

Lu Bei’s expression darkened, exuding an aura that kept others at bay, even as the bottle pointed at him.

The boy couldn’t think of a question and casually asked, “When you have a girlfriend, what actions would you take to assert dominance?”

Lu Bei was still preoccupied with thoughts of Tang Qing, emitting an unwelcoming vibe, his face expressionless.

The boy began to panic, wondering if he had asked the wrong question, and weakly added, “Bei-ge, like kissing, hugging… you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”

Lu Bei remained silent, his gaze fixated on the girl who was still staring at Tang Qing from afar, his eyes dark and mysterious.

Tang Qing glanced at Lu Bei, thinking he hadn’t heard clearly and was about to repeat himself when suddenly, Lu Bei pulled him into a tight embrace.

In the flickering light, Lu Bei’s features became more defined, his eyes sharp and focused. He gazed deeply at Tang Qing, his eyes filled with possessiveness.

He turned his body, blocking the girl’s view, and stared directly at Tang Qing’s fair and slender neck.

Lowering his head to the long-desired neck, he left a row of visible bite marks.

The crowd gasped.

Several girls who had been shipping them couldn’t contain their excitement.

“This is my answer,” Lu Bei replied.

On the other side of the beach, two people were watching this scene.

“Bro, help me out, I want to get him.”

Tan Yifan’s voice was filled with excitement. Since discovering his boot fetish, he had dated many men, but this was the first time he had seen such a flavorful yet wild man. He wished he was sitting next to Lu Bei now, being bitten.

He gazed straight at Lu Bei, swallowing hard
