Chapter 42: Baby, I’m like a wolf and a tiger, don’t mess with me

Fu Xingran walked into Su Lixu’s office and locked the door behind him. As he turned around, he saw Su Lixu sitting at his desk, having taken off his coat and unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt.

Meeting Su Lixu’s eyes, which held a smirk, Fu Xingran felt his throat tighten. The hand, long and fair, unbuttoning the collar, seemed to be undoing not Su Lixu’s shirt but his own.

With the collar undone, the morning’s strawberries gleamed conspicuously on the cold, pale skin.

“Do you have questions for me too?” Su Lixu crossed his legs, leaning back in his chair, smiling at Fu Xingran.

The gentle light from outside poured into the room, casting onto the man, whose already porcelain skin seemed to merge into a halo under its glow, rendering him gentle yet captivating.

In an instant, all of Fu Xingran’s suspicions vanished, for this gentle and charming Su Lixu belonged to him, visible only to him.

How dare he flaunt in the office, tempting him.”…Give me your clothes,” Fu Xingran stared at Su Lixu in silence for a moment, finally uttering those words.

“I took them off because I’m hot,” Su Lixu noticed the tremor in Fu Xingran’s voice, catching the subtle changes on his face. Knowing he had fallen into his trap, he curved his lips ever so slightly: “Are you cold? You can wear my coat.”

Fu Xingran quickly walked to Su Lixu’s chair, draped the coat over him, then bent down to carefully button up the undone shirt.

“Don’t take it off even if you’re hot. It’s snowing outside, and you’ll catch a cold with so little clothing.”

At such close proximity, the air seemed to thicken with ambiguity.

Su Lixu’s gaze traced the sharp contours of Fu Xingran’s face, lightly brushing his eyelashes with his fingertips, and said with a smile, “Baby, you didn’t seem concerned about me catching a cold when we were in the parking lot. Now you’re worried after I’ve unbuttoned two buttons. Why? If clothes don’t matter when you undress, why would I catch a cold when I do?”

Fu Xingran grabbed Su Lixu’s restless hand, unable to resist the warm breath falling on his lips. Meeting Su Lixu’s gaze and listening to the gentle words by his ear, he saw the playful intent in his eyes.

This man was starting to learn from him.But once he learned, what would become of him?

“Baby, I’m naturally predatory. Don’t provoke me anymore.”

The young man’s low, husky voice trembled slightly when he said “provoke me,” showing restraint, yet reminding Su Lixu of the taste of being teased by Fu Xingran.

Su Lixu glanced at Fu Xingran’s hand holding his, his lips slightly curved, then released his crossed legs and pulled Fu Xingran towards him when he wasn’t paying attention.

Fu Xingran’s reflexes kicked in, his knee instinctively pressing against the chair, his other hand propping himself up. He didn’t sit on Su Lixu’s lap, but he encircled him halfway.

The distance closed once again.

If he lowered his head, Su Lixu could kiss him with a raise of his.

“What more do you need in front of me? You’re naturally predatory, so be a little more greedy. I’m yours, so you can be as greedy as you want, right?” Su Lixu glanced at Fu Xingran’s pocket, pinched the candy between his index and middle fingers, then looked up at Fu Xingran, tearing open the candy wrapper and bringing it to his lips.

Fu Xingran held his breath instantly.

With the ‘rip’ of the candy wrapper, Fu Xingran felt his sanity crumbling along with it.

Su Lixu lowered his head, biting into half of the candy, then raised it to meet Fu Xingran’s gaze, touching his lips with the candy and blinking at him.

Fu Xingran gazed into the man’s tender amber eyes, feeling like he was melting at that moment. It was the feeling of being surrounded by intense yet gentle love, by all the details Su Lixu loved about him.

In Su Lixu’s eyes, he felt like he was Su Lixu’s entire world.

He lowered his head to bite into the other half of the candy.In the next moment, their lips pressed together tightly. The taste of the candy was the same, very sweet.

And at this moment, their feelings were the same, sweeter still, enveloped in the love they felt for each other.

Fu Xingran thought, indeed, he lived for Su Lixu.

“Baby, how about going to the art studio? This time, whatever you want, I’m with you, I’ll follow your lead, I’ll listen to you.”

“Okay.”

The office door opened, and students passing by after lunch saw Su Lixu walking out. Seeing his slightly red lips, one of them greeted him, “Hello, Teacher Su. Have you had lunch?”

Su Lixu smiled gently, “Yes, just had it in the office.”

He then walked towards the parking lot.

Another student noticed someone else coming out of the counselor’s office, feeling puzzled. Wasn’t Teacher Su leaving just now? Why was there another student leaving the office first?

Then he noticed that this student’s lips were also a bit red.

Fu Xingran wiped his lips, glanced lightly at the passing student, and walked expressionlessly towards the parking lot, as if nothing had happened.

The student, seeing the two leaving one after another, became even more puzzled. Why didn’t they leave together after having lunch together? Was leaving one after another some kind of ritual?

Su Lixu reached the parking lot first and felt his phone vibrate. He checked and saw two messages.

One was from He Shi:

【Lixu, I think you don’t need to worry too much about your boyfriend. We chatted this morning, and I think his emotions are relatively stable now. At least he can calm down and think. If you’re still not reassured, let him take a test, and then we can discuss it further.】

Su Lixu’s eyes flashed with surprise. When did these two chat? And He Shi said that. He sighed with relief. He had been worried that this guy was only stable in front of him, but he also believed in Fu Xingran.

At least when his roommate came to ask him questions earlier, this guy didn’t burst in out of jealousy.

Indeed, he was stable.Then he flipped to the other message, from Mr. Fu:【Dr. Su, are you and Xingran free to come over for dinner tonight?】

…Can’t escape meeting the parents, huh?

This time, he wasn’t facing a patient’s family, but another identity.

“What are you thinking?” Just as Su Lixu was lost in thought, he was hugged from behind. He turned to see Fu Xingran, “Your dad wants us to have dinner at your place tonight.”

Fu Xingran frowned, “What?!”

Seeing Fu Xingran’s big reaction, Su Lixu said, “Didn’t your dad mention it last time?”

Now what needed to be smoothed out and understood was the relationship between Fu Xingran and his father.

“I was thinking about the art studio,” Fu Xingran nestled his head on Su Lixu’s shoulder, rubbing his head sadly. “I’ve been looking forward to it for so long. I’ve mentioned it several times because I wanted to take you there.”

Su Lixu was exasperated by this guy’s persistence, and he chuckled, “Can’t we go after dinner?”

They exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.Fu Xingran’s family lived in a well-known wealthy area in a certain villa estate, where Su Lixu truly witnessed what wealth meant.

As night fell, the car slowly entered the estate, and all they could see were not lush greenery or a sea view, but every villa in the estate.

The standalone villas were scattered, each with a 360-degree outdoor view. Whether it was the outdoor swimming pool illuminated at the bottom, the outdoor viewing balcony, or the rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, all were brightly lit, displaying luxury everywhere.

Su Lixu silently looked at his own car. “Baby, Cadillacs usually don’t come into estates… right?”

“..They do,” Fu Xingran chuckled as he drove. “I’m driving one, aren’t I?”

Su Lixu: “…Sorry for bothering you.”

Fu Xingran seemed to sense Su Lixu’s mood. “It’s okay. What’s mine is yours. I’ll let you pick one from the garage later. You can choose whichever car you want.”

Su Lixu: “…That’s not necessary.” He didn’t lack cars anyway. After all, they all had four wheels, and even if he drove a Lamborghini, he wouldn’t fly.

“Baby, we’ll have better things in the future. These are all my dad’s. What we own together is ours.” Fu Xingran thought Su Lixu cared about his family background and quickly expressed his stance.

Su Lixu was somewhat surprised by Fu Xingran’s words. Suddenly, he felt that he had over thought it. His boy wasn’t just a playboy born into wealth; he was a thoughtful boy.He nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

Fu Xingran drove into his home, and the garage door slowly opened as the car approached.

The moment the garage door opened, Su Lixu felt dazzled. The spacious garage was paved with black and white checkered tiles, with a frosted full-light ceiling, reflecting light. There were also several luxury sports cars, estimated to be more than a dozen.

Just a glance was worth billions.Su Lixu: “…” Feeling stimulated and out of place, he said, “Fu Xingran, is your dad sure he doesn’t need you to marry a wealthy girl and have an heir to inherit the family fortune?”After saying that, he felt a sudden pain at the back of his head. He rubbed it, grimacing at Fu Xingran.

“What outdated thinking,” Fu Xingran reached out to massage the back of his head, then got out of the car, walked to the passenger side, opened the door for him, and then leaned against the door, chuckling, “Unless you can bear children, then we’ll have an heir.”

Su Lixu coughed lightly, “Nonsense,” and got out of the car.

“Do you want kids?” Fu Xingran locked the car and took Su Lixu’s hand, leading him inside.

“Never really thought about it,” Su Lixu shook his head.

“If you want, we can adopt one,” Fu Xingran pushed open the door to the first floor, holding the door for Su Lixu to enter first.

“Let’s talk about it later.”

“That’s true. We haven’t had enough of our world of two yet.” The door closed, and Fu Xingran hugged Su Lixu as they walked upstairs, planting a kiss on his face. “Right, baby? You’re already my baby. I only need one baby.”

Su Lixu’s face was covered in this guy’s saliva, his expression subtle. “You’re too much.”

“Cough cough—”

The movement of the two stepping on the stairs abruptly stopped with a low cough, and they both looked up to see Mr. Fu standing at the railing on the first floor, looking down at them.

This perspective…It meant that Mr. Fu saw everything they had just done.Su Lixu: “…” He was thirty years old, how embarrassing.

Fu Xingran felt even more shameless when he returned to his own home. In front of his own father, he had kissed Su Lixu’s face and then met his father’s gaze, calmly saying:

“Dad, I brought my boyfriend home.”

Mr. Fu’s heart trembled upon hearing his son’s words. There was a hint of surprise and emotion in his eyes as he nodded. The middle-aged man, who usually wore a simple outfit instead of his usual formal attire, also lost his usual authoritative demeanor. Even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes appeared gentle and mild.

“It’s good to be home. Welcome back.”
