Chapter 381: New Version Of Jin Jiuchi

cw: mild sexual description at the beginning

Without a second delay, Jin Jiuchi seized the opportunity to lick him clean again, swallowing every drop of cum that spilled from his cock.

This time, though, Shen Nianzu was too tired to protest, his entire body feeling soft and pliant after two orgasms in a row. The shame and mortification he’d been stewing in earlier seemed far away now, and what lingered in every inch of his skin was only bliss and contentment. He did not even realize it when Jin Jiuchi slowly lowered his legs, his mind still in a mess. His eyelids began to droop, and he would have dozed off if not for Jin Jiuchi crashing beside him.

Gathering the jade doll into his arms, Jin Jiuchi nuzzled his face into the crook of his neck like an oversized puppy. "Thank you for the meal, Nian’er..." he whispered with dark satisfaction in his tone. "It was delicious."

Shen Nianzu angrily swatted at his shoulder, but he was so weak that his attack contained no strength at all. In the end, he simply brought Jin Jiuchi closer to him, frowning at the unpleasant sensation of their sweaty clothes that prevented him from savoring his lover’s naked skin. "What about you?" He asked in a hoarse voice as his hand began to trail south. "Should I—" he trailed off in surprise when his hand brushed against an obvious damp spot on Jin Jiuchi’s pants.

Impossible, he... he had already...

Jin Jiuchi met his gaze with half-lidded eyes, smirking as he made a show of dragging his tongue across his lips, leaving a tantalizing trail behind. "Nian’er is so sexy that I couldn’t help myself..." his words confirmed Shen Nianzu’s doubt that he had indeed reached his own peak. He did not look embarrassed at all at the admission that he’d come just by eating and watching Shen Nianzu. Instead, he made it sound so natural as though it was how things were supposed to be, as though pleasuring his lover was more than enough for him.

Shen Nianzu couldn’t help but blush intensely. Holy shit, that just made Jin Jiuchi look twice as hot in his eyes. He fiddled with the hem of Jin Jiuchi’s shirt, unable to bring himself to look straight into those intense heterochromatic eyes.

As expected, something was really different about Jin Jiuchi after this Cycle. Shen Nianzu couldn’t quite put it into words, but the man seemed more... mature and grounded?

Of course, he was still the same ol’ Jin Jiuchi who was annoying and infuriating to death, but he no longer looked silly and foolish all the time.

If Shen Nianzu had to pinpoint one aspect that changed drastically about him, then it was his eyes. Not his eye color, but the way he viewed the world. Previously, Jin Jiuchi still exuded quite an innocent and simple aura, but now... those eyes of his were deep and profound in a way that gave him an air of mystery.

And Shen Nianzu, much to his chagrin, found that he couldn’t adapt well to this version of Jin Jiuchi, who seemed to have transformed into an expert tease and a sexy flirt. His heart kept beating irregularly in his chest, giving him the notion that he was falling for the man all over again.

Oh God, after the naughty things they had done, why did he become so nervous all of a sudden?! How utterly ridiculous!

"Why didn’t you tell me?" Jin Jiuchi grumbled softly, and Shen Nianzu had to bite down on his bottom lip when the man suddenly licked at his neck – the spot where he’d bitten down before.

"Tell you what...?" Shen Nianzu responded with a breathy sigh.

"That you like it when I play with your behind."

Shen Nianzu blinked once, twice, before his face instantly exploded in crimson. "Jin. Jiu. Chi!" He growled furiously, flying into rage out of sheer embarrassment. As the most convenient spot, Jin Jiuchi’s hair became the victim of Shen Nianzu’s assault who needed an outlet to vent on. "Stop talking nonsense!!"

"Ouch ouch!" Jin Jiuchi let out a pained grimace, though his face was adorned with a wide teasing smile. "Nonsense? What a liar, Nian’er. I didn’t know you were so sensitive until today. You literally came when I hadn’t even—ohok!" He choked on his words when Shen Nianzu rolled them over and strangled him with teary furious eyes, naked thighs straddling his body.

"Say one more word, and I will kill you!"

Jin Jiuchi cried out at the expense of his own life, "But I’m telling the truth!"

"Even if you did, there are some things better left unsaid, you bastard! Although you have regained a piece of yourself, you’re still as tactless as ever!"

"Ah, mercy! Have mercy, Nian’er!"

After an exhilarating(?) moment of rolling back and forth in the sheets, the two of them finally sprawled out side by side, panting heavily.

Jin Jiuchi stroked his sore neck with an aggrieved look. "Nian’er, you don’t love me at all..." he whimpered pitifully.

Shen Nianzu, who felt silly now for overreacting and get swept into Jin Jiuchi’s rhythm, simply deadpanned, "Oh, I love you very much, alright?"

"Really?!" Jin Jiuchi instantly sprung up to life, his eyes shimmering like a stretch of twinkling stars. All the cynical remarks Shen Nianzu was about to say died down in his throat, and he let out a faint groan. Damn it, how was he supposed to say anything remotely merciless when Jin Jiuchi was looking at him with those puppy dog eyes?

Dissatisfied by the lack of response, Jin Jiuchi loomed over him and pressed for answers, "Really? Really, Nian’er? Why did you suddenly turn silent? You’re going to make me cry!"

Shen Nianzu couldn’t help but snort. Come on, they had gone through many life-and-death perils together, and he had literally put himself in danger a few times for Jin Jiuchi’s sake, and the man still had the audacity to question his feelings? He placed his hands against Jin Jiuchi’s chest to push him away. "You’re too... close!" Despite the effort Shen Nianzu put in, the man hardly budged at all. What did he eat growing up to become so built and robust?!

Speaking of growing up, Shen Nianzu finally remembered the important issue he’d wanted to address before he got... distracted.

Clearing his throat, he adopted a more serious demeanor, "Actually, I have so many things I want to ask, but first things first... did you, you know, skip adolescence and turn into an adult as soon as you devour each other?"
