Chapter 145: Sweet And Fragrant Jade Doll

Cw: brief sexual content

Jin Jiuchi opened his eyes in a daze, his mind still groggy with sleep.

The fragmented images from his dream slipped away like sand through his fingers. He seemed to have dreamed of Shen Nianzu, but he could no longer remember what it was about. All that was left was the sweetness on the tip of his tongue and the throbbing heat on his lower body.

He glanced down to discover that a certain part of his body had become energetic so early in the morning. His blood thrummed and sang with the need to release but sleepiness still clung intimately to his eyelids, making him lazy to take care of it. Instead, he tightened his arms around Shen Nianzu’s body and buried his face into the back of Shen Nianzu’s neck, hugging the jade doll to himself like a sticky octopus.

’Hmm, waking up to Nian’er in the morning is the best...’ he thought sleepily.

A sliver of sunlight peeked in through the narrow gap in the curtains, casting a gentle glow in the dimly lit bedroom. Even in the faint light, Shen Nianzu seemed to exude a radiant glow from within. Perhaps it was his tousled silver hair that cascaded like a stretch of stars, or it could also be because of the rosy hue of his exposed shoulder from where his sleeping robes had slipped down— Jin Jiuchi could not pinpoint it for certain. In his eyes, Shen Nianzu had always been the brightest.

The more Jin Jiuchi looked at him, the brighter the flame in his heart burned. His teeth tingled with a familiar itch like the night before, and he began to press closer to Shen Nianzu, latching his lips on the jade doll’s exposed shoulder.

At the same time, his palm splayed across Shen Nianzu’s stomach, gliding over the silky fabric to reach the chest where his beating heart was, as if he could really hold this person’s heart in his hand by this action alone.

A wave of drowsiness washed over him and he let his eyelids flutter shut. He could easily drift off to sleep like this, enveloped in Shen Nianzu’s scent and the rhythmic thump of his heartbeat. But in that moment, he suddenly sensed the heart under his palm skipping a beat. There was a slight stutter to Shen Nianzu’s breathing, so subtle and fleeting that he might have missed it had he not been acutely attuned to every nuance of Shen Nianzu’s body.

Jin Jiuchi cracked his eyes open, the fog in his silver orbs dissipating. Just like a trained husky that had caught the scent of a kitten.

’Nian’er is awake,’ his entire body buzzed in thrill and glee.

He raised his head to peer at Shen Nianzu’s face, only to see him sleeping soundly. His breathing was deep and even, and his eyelids did not even twitch. Alas, there was no mistaking the irregular pulse under Jin Jiuchi’s palm.

Why would Nian’er pretend to be asleep? Did he want to play and see how long he could keep up the charade?

A playful smile graced the corner of Jin Jiuchi’s lips and he tucked his chin on Shen Nianzu’s shoulder, whispering, "Nian’er, you’re awake, aren’t you?" His voice carried traces of hoarseness, reminiscent of his sleep, and it caressed the shell of Shen Nianzu’s ear akin to a jolt of electricity.

"Nian’er..." Jin Jiuchi moved his hand, intending to tickle the jade doll awake, but before he could carry out his plan, Shen Nianzu’s hand shot up to grab his wrist, stopping his movements halfway.

Aha! Jin Jiuchi’s lips stretched into a wolfish grin. Gotcha!

Jin Jiuchi rubbed his face affectionately on Shen Nianzu’s shoulder, his imaginary tail wagging behind him. "Nian’er, good morning. Did you sleep well? Nian’er, Nian’er..."

Veins bulged on the corner of Shen Nianzu’s forehead. Cracking his eyes open, he glanced down at the misbehaving paws around him and bit out through gritted teeth, "Move away."

Jin Jiuchi paused, "...Huh?"

"Y–Your..." Shen Nianzu tried to scoot away from the scorching hardness that had been poking his back for a while. But his efforts were all for naught because Jin Jiuchi was hugging him so tightly. Damn it, he should have known that something like this would happen when he agreed to let Jin Jiuchi into his bed last night. After all, this damn pervert had woken up like this five out of six days they spent together in the Shishen Apartment! The more Shen Nianzu thought about it, the angrier he was. He flailed around to vent his frustration, "Your m–monster! Fuck, get that thing away from me!"

Jin Jiuchi would have forgotten about his hard-on had Shen Nianzu not reminded him of it. But now that he did, he could no longer ignore the pulsating heat below his abdomen. The remnants of drowsiness evaporated from his system, and he became acutely conscious of Shen Nianzu’s movements— the enticing curves and supple contours pressing against him, and the intoxicating scent that enveloped his senses, growing sweeter with each passing moment.

"Wait, Nian’er...!" He bit down on his bottom lip to muffle the groan. "Don’t... Don’t move around so much..."

"...!" Shen Nianzu let out a silent curse. Fuck, how could it become even bigger?! Realizing that his struggle had fanned the fire instead of extinguishing it, he dared not move anymore. This time, he became genuinely afraid of that cock— no, it was a weapon of mass destruction! Clenching his jaws tight, he gritted out, "I–I am not moving anymore. You... you get away! Right now!"

Alas, how could Jin Jiuchi let go of this sweet and fragrant jade doll?

"Nian’er..." He slowly rolled his hips against Shen Nianzu, eliciting a gasp from the latter. Beads of sweat rolled down Jin Jiuchi’s cheek, and he felt like he was going to go crazy from the sheer weight of his desire towards this person. He tightened his arms around Shen Nianzu and kissed the back of his neck, biting and licking the sweet skin like he had done last night. In the midst of the struggle, Shen Nianzu’s robes had come even looser, barely hanging on his upper body, and Jin Jiuchi seized the advantage to taste every inch of skin he could find.

His words came out raspy amidst his ragged breathing, "Nian’er, Nian’er, you... you’re not even a female, so why am I so..."

Why am I so crazy for you? Why do I want you so much?

Shen Nianzu scrambled to grab onto Jin Jiuchi’s toned arms for purchase, the corner of his eyes reddening. Jin Jiuchi’s erection had ignited a spark within him as well and he couldn’t hold back his moan when he sensed the solid proof of Jin Jiuchi’s desire pressing relentlessly against him. He buried his face into the pillow, gasping, when he heard Jin Jiuchi’s murmured question.

Angry veins throbbed on his forehead and he demanded furiously in the heat of the moment, "Even now, you still want a girl?! What’s wrong with two guys getting it on?!"

A brief moment of stillness hung in the air as both of them abruptly froze.

Shen Nianzu’s body tensed and cold beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His eyes flew wide in shock. Oh no no no no, please tell him he did not just say...

"What do you mean?" Jin Jiuchi forcefully grabbed his chin and turned his head so they were facing each other. His silver eyes burned in fierce intensity that Shen Nianzu had never seen before; it was as if his life and death depended on the response Shen Nianzu was about to give.

"Two guys can also get it on? Does it mean..." he whispered. "It’s okay for us to do this?"
