Chapter 81 – Lu Bei’s handheld flashlight

Tang Qing opened the door, with the large pendant Lu Bei sticking closely behind, stumbling into the house.

Lu Bei pressed Tang Qing against the wall in the entrance, his tall and sturdy body tightly pressed against Tang Qing, sticky and clingy, saying, “How about it? Consider my suggestion.”

Pressed against the wall, with his back firmly against it, Tang Qing helplessly said, “Why don’t you take a look at my gift first? I’ve prepared it seriously for a long time.”

Seeing the dark and moist eyes of the young man beneath him, Lu Bei had to release his restraint, staring at the soft and fluffy hair of the young man. His voice deep and low, he said, “I want the gift and I want you too.”

Tang Qing placed his hand on Lu Bei’s firm chest, pretending to be angry, “Do you still want the gift?”

Knowing he couldn’t push Tang Qing too far, Lu Bei tried to appease him, “Alright, Tang Tang, let me see what gift you’ve prepared.”

Tang Qing went to his room and took out a shoebox, handing it to Lu Bei.

Lu Bei took the box and found that it was wrapped in a beautiful layer of wrapping paper. Clearly handwrapped by Tang Qing, it featured cute cat heads and many pink hearts.

Before he even saw the gift, Lu Bei’s heart was already full.

“Little soft candy, how did you manage to buy such nice wrapping paper? It’s so cute.”

Tang Qing felt a bit embarrassed; he had deliberately chosen wrapping paper with cat heads on it, only realizing at home that there were many hearts on it too, making it look like something a young girl would use to confess her feelings.

“Just picked it up.”

“Sigh, one day I’ll be killed by your cuteness.” Lu Bei looked adoringly at the box, slowly beginning to unwrap it.

Tang Qing lifted his head, pursed his lips, carefully observing Lu Bei’s expression, feeling a bit nervous.

Inside was a pair of basketball shoes, the latest limited edition, not only expensive but also extremely difficult to obtain.

Although Lu Bei had received countless gifts today, he was still very touched at this moment.

Because he knew how hard it was to get these shoes.

For someone like Tang Qing, who knew little about the sneaker world and didn’t know how to use a buying service, he could only rely on his own speed and luck.

“Was it difficult to get these?” Lu Bei asked gently.

“Not too bad, that day I found a few roommates to help me wait in line to grab them, and in the end, I managed to secure a pair.” Tang Qing couldn’t help but sound a bit proud, a glint of satisfaction in his dark eyes.

Lu Bei chuckled softly, reached out to scratch the small cat’s nose that was perked up, “My little cat is truly amazing.”

He thought carefully about the time these shoes were released for sale, “Alright, for a pair of shoes, I won’t go watch the basketball game.”

Tang Qing chuckled, “Well, it’s all for you anyway.”

Lu Bei accepted the shoes; he really liked this pair because the release time clashed with his game, so he had already paid a high price to get them through a scalper.

Thinking about how Tang Qing had secretly helped him grab these shoes by attending the release event, he couldn’t help but smile.

Having an extra pair now, he could keep the special pair gifted by Tang Qing.

Of course, he wouldn’t bear to wear the ones Tang Qing gave him.

Hugging Tang Qing like a big dog, he said, “Tang Tang, I’m so touched, what should we do? How about I pledge myself to you?”

Tang Qing was also happy but didn’t push him away, just muttered, “Who wants you to pledge yourself, go away.”

Lu Bei kept hugging Tang Qing, nuzzling him continually, “How about we sleep together tonight? You’ve been so good to me, be a bit nicer to me.”

What kind of logic was this?

Tang Qing finally understood what it meant to give an inch and take a mile, and what it meant to be spoiled and arrogant.

He refused, “No, you’re all stiff and uncomfortable to cuddle with.”

Lu Bei persisted, “But Tang Tang, you’re so soft, we complement each other perfectly. Please, don’t let me spend my first night as an eighteen-year-old all alone.”

What did it mean to spend the first night as an eighteen-year-old all alone…

Thinking that he might soon complete his mission and have to leave Lu Bei, Tang Qing reluctantly nodded.

He was actually quite attached to being in Lu Bei’s embrace.

But he had to admit that sleeping while in human form and embraced by Lu Bei would also be quite a challenge for him.

So he relented, “We can sleep together tonight, but it has to be after midnight.”

Lu Bei initially showed a smile of a fulfilled wish, but upon further thought, he couldn’t help but scold, “You little soft candy, you’re so cunning, making me wait until you turn into a cat to sleep with me.”

Tang Qing blinked and gave a smile, “If you’re not interested, forget it. It’s up to you.”

Lu Bei held Tang Qing tightly, “Of course, I want it. My Tang Tang, no matter when, is always my big treasure.”

“Cats have their own cuteness,” Lu Bei said, not sure what he was thinking, then added, “Humans have their own allure.”

“What nonsense.” Tang Qing pushed Lu Bei away, walked to the side, and got up to take a shower.

Lu Bei held Tang Qing’s discarded clothes, still warm from his body temperature. Lu Bei couldn’t help but bury his face in the clothes, taking a deep sniff.

It smelled really good.

He felt that Tang Qing could go without a shower for a few days, and he would still smell nice. Bathing seemed to dilute his natural scent.

Despite suggesting a few times, all of Lu Bei’s proposals were rejected by Tang Qing, even calling him a pervert.

It was unfair.

Sometimes he couldn’t quite explain his feelings towards Tang Qing.

It was easy for others to say they were a couple. He found that description too superficial. How could the relationship between lovers compare to theirs?

Couples break up, even spouses get divorced.

Besides, he wasn’t homosexual; he wasn’t the kind of pervert who lusted after his friend’s body¹The f*cking lies this man spouts.

Tang Qing was his childhood friend, his most intimate person, and his possession.

Sometimes he darkly thought that it wasn’t a bad thing that Tang Qing’s biological parents were always abroad and didn’t have time to come back.

Thinking about Tang Qing having these blood-related relatives, he felt a twisted and jealous madness.

His Tang Qing only needed him, not excessive familial affection.

Regardless of whether those people were his parents or biological siblings, he didn’t want to see Tang Qing have closer emotional relationships with anyone else.

He would give Tang Qing all the affection he needed.

Tang Qing didn’t need anyone else.

…

Before eleven o’clock, Lu Bei was already lying in bed, waiting for Tang Qing.

“Little soft candy, come here.”

Tang Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes silently, “Since when do you go to bed this early?”

Normally, he would play on his phone until around eleven or twelve.

“Today is our birthday, such an important day, how can we stay up late?” Lu Bei said with a serious tone.

Yes, you’re right.

I’ve fallen for your trick.

Tang Qing changed into a light blue pajama set, his hair still slightly damp with natural curls, fluffy and soft. His skin looked fair and tender after a shower, and there were two three-dimensional cat ears decorating the pocket on the front of his top.

Every strand of his hair was fragrant and soft.

Tang Qing grabbed a book, sat on the bed, stretched out his legs, and leaned against the headboard.

Every inch of his body was fair, even his feet looked delicate and fair, with beautifully shaped ankles, delicate like a piece of art.

Lu Bei couldn’t help but stare at Tang Qing’s feet, his gaze inscrutable.

Tang Qing was engrossed in his book and didn’t notice.

A gaze lingered on his feet, unwavering.

By half past eleven, Lu Bei couldn’t help but interrupt quietly, “You’re not planning to stay up until midnight, are you?”

“Little soft candy, despite your soft appearance, you have a tough heart.”

He lifted his shirt, revealing his clearly defined eight-pack abs, striking a pose he thought was sexy, and teasingly said, “Isn’t it time to check out your Ah Bei? Doesn’t A University’s campus heartthrob have any style?”

Tang Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

He knew this act wouldn’t last long.

Glancing at the time, Tang Qing finally closed his book and set it aside.

Lu Bei took the book, gave a disdainful look at the thick pathology book, and placed it far away.

They turned off the light, two young men who had grown up together, hiding under the same blanket to sleep.

Lu Bei hugged Tang Qing tightly, his strong chest pressed against Tang Qing’s slender back.

“Ah Bei, it’s too hot, can you move back a bit.”

How could he possibly let go of the sweet and fragrant figure in his arms?

“Tang Tang, let me hold you a bit longer, anyway, later on…”

Tang Qing thought about it and realized it made sense. He would transform into a cat soon, so he allowed Lu Bei a bit more time.

“Tang Tang, your body is so special, won’t you have trouble finding a girlfriend in the future?”

“Why?”

Tang Qing was puzzled. Although it was a secret, it wouldn’t hurt if an intimate person knew. Besides, what girl wouldn’t like furry things? It wouldn’t scare anyone off.

“Think about it. Every night, when you want to be intimate and start making babies, you’ll have to hang a clock in the room and make sure to complete the mission before midnight.”

Otherwise, halfway through intimacy, he would suddenly turn into a cat…

Just imagining the scene was very awkward.

Tang Qing blushed and casually elbowed him, “What are you thinking about every day?”

Lu Bei said solemnly, “Right, it’s better for the cat to be with me for a lifetime, otherwise, halfway through intimacy… might leave psychological trauma.”

Tang Qing didn’t swear, so he just softly scolded, “You… are just a big silly dog.”

Lu Bei was happy even when scolded, taking it as sweet talk.

“Yes, I’m your dog.”

Whether it was to tease him or out of shyness, Tang Qing’s ears turned a faint pink, making his swan-like neck look even more delicate and fair, evoking a sense of pity.

Since childhood, Tang Qing had fair and delicate skin. Whenever he got emotional, a pink hue would easily show through.

Smelling the sweet and soft childhood friend in his arms, Lu Bei couldn’t resist biting that enticing neck.

“What nonsense are you talking about now?”

“Tang Tang, you smell so good, I really want to lick your entire body.”

Did he really think he was a dog…?

Lu Bei hugged Tang Qing, kissing and nuzzling him.

Before long, Tang Qing noticed something hard and hot pressing against his thigh through Lu Bei’s thin shorts.

“What are you… doing…”

At eighteen, Tang Qing obviously knew what it was, but he still tried to give Lu Bei an excuse, “Did you bring something up here?”

The young man was by Tang Qing’s ear, his breath hot, his voice hoarse, “Tang Tang, help me.”
