Chapter 72 – Let’s take a hot spring bath together

“Don’t touch me.”

Tang Qing, blushing slightly, ran impatiently, swatting away the tall and big teenager following him.

“Tangtang, don’t be angry.” Lu Bei, like a persistent plaster, kept chasing Tang Qing.

“How could you bite me in front of so many people? Are you a dog?” The last time Tang Qing felt so embarrassed was during their outing at Lover’s Lake.

Lu Bei, with his long arms and legs, came closer, trying to justify, “I didn’t know how to answer the question they asked, so I had to demonstrate directly.”

Tang Qing couldn’t help but laugh in anger, “Don’t you have a mouth? Do you know what it’s for?”

Lu Bei thought to himself, ‘Of course, I know. That’s why I bit you.’

But he didn’t dare to tell the truth. The angry little wildcat might scratch him.

Mom said, ‘Even though wildcats are cute, you can’t play with them all day.’

Tang Qing opened the door directly, pushed the handsome face of the school grass away from the door, and closed the door, locking Lu Bei outside.

Lu Bei was persistent, leaning against the door, “Tangtang, don’t be angry, I won’t bite you in front of others again.”

Tang Qing: “There won’t be a next time. Roll¹ a way of saying leave. I love using this word irl lmao!”

Lu Bei lowered his voice and coaxed through the door, “Tangtang, I know I was wrong, forgive me, little soft candy.”

Tang Qing: “Roll.”

Lu Bei continued to coax for several more times, but Tang Qing was already too lazy to respond; he locked the door and lay in bed playing with his phone.

A few girls passed by, seeing the school grass locked outside the door, and couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle. Some familiar boys who saw it even teased, “Hey, school grass, got locked out by the one from your family?”

Lu Bei seemed to enjoy being teased because of Tang Qing’s reaction. He even boasted, “Well, what can I do? My Tangtang is so shy.”

Seeing his self-satisfied expression, everyone could only silently complain in their hearts. It was truly a case of ‘you reap what you sow.’ Nowadays, even so-called “straight guys” are quite playful.

After being locked out for a few minutes, Lu Bei, with his long legs, took a stroll around the hotel. He thought about that girl and felt a bit pleased at the shocked expression she had when she saw Tang Qing being bitten by him.

Although he and Tang Qing weren’t in a romantic relationship, they were always the closest. No one could come between them.

As an athlete, he had an extremely well-built physique, broad shoulders, long legs, and every inch of muscle was impeccable. In Tang Qing’s absence, he put away his clingy appearance, showing a touch of indifference in his eyes and a carefree expression. Walking down the street, exuding a strong aura, he was truly eye-catching.

When Lu Bei appeared, Tan Yifan’s eyes lit up as he stared directly at him. He had been hovering around the hotel, hoping to meet that sexy and carefree teenager again.

Lu Bei only had Tang Qing on his mind and completely ignored the people around him as he walked past them.

Approaching the hotel, Lu Bei noticed a faint light on a path by the side, resembling fireflies, and walked in that direction. If he caught a firefly, could it please Tang Qing and have him open the door for him?

At that moment, a boy rushed over from behind and accidentally brushed against him, stepping on his foot.

“Sorry, sorry.” The boy crouched down, revealing a fair and delicate neck, and earnestly wiped Lu Bei’s boots.

Lu Bei wore pure black cropped pants tucked into mid-calf boots, which were shiny black with decorative studs, minimalistic and sleek. The sole had a hint of a sexy little heel.

Tan Yifan tenderly and persistently wiped Lu Bei’s boots.

Lu Bei frowned impatiently, glanced at the boy, then turned his eyes away with disdain.

Not as pale as his Tangtang, and not as good-looking either.

“Alright, that’s enough.” Lu Bei raised his foot slightly, his long and powerful legs taking a step forward to walk away.

However, the boy quickly caught up, grabbing Lu Bei’s arm and said softly, “Handsome, I’m from the school next door, my name is Tan Yifan.”

Lu Bei glanced at him, ready to leave, “Not interested in getting to know you.”

But Tan Yifan was already so captivated by that one look, feeling his heart flutter. He observed that although the handsome guy often hung out with another good-looking boy, they weren’t a couple.

The handsome guy seemed to be infatuated with the other boy, showing signs of unknowingly liking men. The other boy, while handsome, had a gentle and unassuming personality, making it hard to tell if he was of the same kind.

Although he didn’t understand why these two hadn’t gotten together yet, he knew he couldn’t let the good-looking boy find out about him. This was his only chance to successfully flirt.

Tan Yifan straightforwardly stated, “I know we’re the same kind of person. I can be with you, I can give you anything.”

Lu Bei had no intention of listening further and turned to walk away.

The other party still didn’t understand, he’s most likely mentally ill.

“Don’t go to the hotel, don’t worry about being discovered by your friend. We can do it here, I can please you, anywhere you want.” He softened his voice, seducing the tall teenager. Seeing the teenager walking away without looking back, he couldn’t help but raise his voice:

“Do you want to keep holding it in? No matter how good-looking your friend is, he can’t satisfy you. But I’m different, I can.”

He admitted he wasn’t as good-looking as the other boy, but he had experience. Those who had been with him couldn’t forget him, and he was confident that he could give him an experience he wouldn’t forget.

Lu Bei was starting to get angry and halted his steps.

Thinking that the man was intrigued, Tan Yifan hurried over, crouched down, eagerly reached out to touch him.

But Lu Bei forcefully pushed him away, causing Tan Yifan to sit on the ground.

Lu Bei looked disgusted, “Get yourself treated if you’re sick. Don’t mention my friend.”

Tan Yifan touched Lu Bei’s boot, licked his lips, and said, “My tongue is very agile, I can give you a different experience.”

Lu Bei felt more disgusted than if he had been bitten by a dog.

Lifting his long legs, Lu Bei deftly kicked the boy away as he continued to approach, then pressed the heel of his shoe onto the boy’s hand. His eyes were icy cold as he looked down on him and said, “Back off, don’t mention my friend again, you’re not worthy.”

Lu Bei lowered his eyes slightly, turned around expressionlessly, and walked away.

Unbeknownst to him, after he left, the boy remained seated in the same spot. Although his hand was in pain, his lower body had already reacted.

He knew the man wasn’t interested in him, but it didn’t matter. He hadn’t encountered someone who matched his preferences in a long time, someone who was attractive in terms of physique, appearance, fashion sense, and even when he was angry, he was sexy. He could tell that the man was inexperienced and clueless, but exuded an aura of dominance.

He was determined to make this man his.

Back at the hotel entrance, Lu Bei disdainfully rubbed his shoe sole against a stone, as if he had stepped in dog poop, then knocked on the door.

This time, Tang Qing opened the door.

He knew his Tangtang was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. How could he bear to let himself be outside in the cold wind?

Lu Bei immediately wiped away the shadows from his face, his handsome features lighting up with a smile, and he warmly embraced him:

“Tangtang, my little soft candy, how can you be so heartless? It’s dangerous outside, especially for a naive and good-looking guy like me. It’s very risky to be alone at night.”

Tang Qing pushed away this clingy plaster, “Let’s go, let’s go soak in the hot spring.”

Lu Bei pretended to look dejected, hanging his head in defeat, “So it’s to go soak in the hot spring that you suddenly remembered me.”

Tang Qing rolled his eyes at this drama queen, “Oh, you don’t like it? Then I’ll go alone.”

Lu Bei immediately started packing their things, “I saw some fruits downstairs, I’ll go get some, there are peaches you like.”

Tang Qing nodded, and the two of them left the room.

The hot spring at this resort hotel was located in the backyard on the first floor, divided into public and private sections.

The private area was elegantly decorated, featuring open-air Japanese hot springs divided into separate courtyards by wooden fences, surrounded by lush bamboo outside the fences. Stone paths lined the pools, with warm yellow lights illuminating the area, creating a gentle and hazy atmosphere on the pool surface.

Walking along the pebble path, the sparkling lights made Tang Qing’s fair skin glow, his dark and dense eyelashes casting shadows on his face, exuding a cold and delicate beauty.

In preparation for the hot spring, Tang Qing changed into a white outfit, the slightly loose neckline revealing his exquisite collarbones and swan-like neck.

Tang Qing’s skin was delicate, prone to leaving marks with even the slightest friction. After changing, he didn’t look in the mirror and didn’t notice the not-so-subtle bite marks on the side of his fair neck.

Seeing those bite marks, Lu Bei’s possessive tendencies were satisfied.

Indeed, he should leave his mark on his Tangtang, letting everyone know that Tang Qing belonged to Lu Bei.

He wondered how long those bite marks would last; maybe in a few days, he could find an opportunity to touch them up while Tang Qing was asleep.

After showering in a private area, Lu Bei finished first and waited by the hot spring for Tang Qing.

A few minutes later, Tang Qing emerged.

He was wrapped in a white bathrobe, his hair slightly damp, his cheeks flushed.

Approaching the hot spring, Tang Qing set his bathrobe aside and stepped into the water.

Tang Qing’s alabaster body was now exposed in front of Lu Bei.

His flawless skin, slender waist, and long legs made for a beautiful sight.

Lu Bei had only caught glimpses of Tang Qing’s body in previous rushed encounters. This was the first time he was directly facing this beautiful body in clear lighting.

Tang Qing tested the water with his foot, then slowly immersed himself in the hot spring.

The water temperature was just right, and he leaned against the edge of the pool, letting out a contented sigh.

Since Tang Qing hadn’t turned around, he couldn’t see Lu Bei’s slightly stiff posture and the uncontrollable reaction beneath him.

He opened his mouth, the clear and melodic voice resonating in the silent night, “A-Bei, why aren’t you coming over?”
