With a loud noise, Liang Zhen sat up in bed in the dead of night, threw off the covers, and hurried to the kitchen. He grabbed a chilled bottle of mineral water from the fridge and gulped it down.

But even after drinking half the bottle, he still felt parched when he remembered the dream he just had. In that dream, there was him and Shao Mingyin, and everything from the light and shadow to the touch felt unusually vivid, as if it had just happened.

Liang Zhen couldn’t help but curse himself. Why was he so weak? He had been having the same dream for several days now, and it never changed.

But he was also… how should I put it, starting to enjoy it.

Just thinking about Officer Shao’s face that day, Liang Zhen surprisingly got aroused again. As the saying goes, “Thoughts by day, dreams by night,” there was some truth to that proverb.

He longed for Shao Mingyin.

He remembered that day when he, in a daze, followed Officer Shao into the cubicle, and then in a daze, had his pants pulled down. Honestly, all he wanted to do was to advise Officer Shao, but he ended up getting involved himself!

He couldn’t help but recall that night in the restroom stall, how Officer Shao had pleased him. Although Liang Zhen had never tasted pork, he had seen pigs run. But he never imagined being devoured by another man, by someone of the same sex. It was beyond anything he had ever thought of in his life.

Liang Zhen still had his hands on the stall’s partitions that day. Truth be told, his legs were a bit weak, not because he couldn’t stand it, but because the sensory stimulation was too intense. Officer Shao was a policeman, though not in uniform, but a bona fide third-level police inspector with the serial number 05124201. And now, he was kneeling in front of him, holding onto him,sucking him off and kneading his testicles.

Men knew best how to please men. Shao Mingyin always kept his teeth from touching that area, only occasionally letting his front teeth lightly graze Liang Zhen’s tip. With just a few strokes, Liang Zhen couldn’t hold back and let out a comfortable moan. Shao Mingyin withdrew and looked up at Liang Zhen, who was clearly enjoying himself, asking, “Had enough?”

It had only been a few minutes. How could he have had enough? Liang Zhen instantly regained his senses and realized he wasn’t here to enjoy himself; he was here to challenge Officer Shao.

“Can’t handle it anymore, Officer Shao? I’m just getting started.”

Shao Mingyin wasn’t used to being called “Officer” outside of work, so he told Liang Zhen his real name. When Liang Zhen repeated it, his pronunciation wasn’t quite accurate due to the difference in the tones of Mandarin and the Lanzhou dialect. Shao Mingyin clarified, “Bright as in ‘ming’, music as in ‘yin’.”

Shao Mingyin had introduced himself, so logically, Liang Zhen should have introduced himself too. But last week Officer Shao said he had looked at his file, so Liang Zhen felt it wasn’t necessary.

However, this made Liang Zhen even more puzzled.

“Officer Shao,” Liang Zhen asked, “Why do you keep calling me ‘kid’? Did you forget my name?”

Shao Mingyin quipped, “Kid, what do you think?”

Liang Zhen sighed heavily, his face serious as he grabbed Shao Mingyin’s head and rubbed it against his member. Shao Mingyin instinctively tilted his head, causing the erect member to slide across his cheek, leaving a trail of transparent liquid on it. Liang Zhen was mesmerized. It seemed that the fluid, barely visible under the light, had a color to it, milky white, clinging to Shao Mingyin’s face and even smearing onto the corner of his mouth.

Though Shao Mingyin didn’t relent in his teasing, the alcohol was starting to affect him. Gradually, he found it hard to maintain his posture. “Kid, take it easy,” he said.

“Alright,” Liang Zhen lowered his eyes, holding Shao Mingyin’s chin with one hand and his own member with the other. “Let’s take it slow.”

Before Shao Mingyin could react, Liang Zhen forcefully opened his mouth, and his member surged in, reaching the back of Shao Mingyin’s throat in one thrust. Shao Mingyin’s Adam’s apple trembled uncontrollably, but his mouth was completely blocked, preventing even a gagging sound.

He tried to push Liang Zhen away, grabbing his hand that held his chin, but Liang Zhen’s strength surprised him. Coupled with the alcohol’s effect, Shao Mingyin felt powerless, struggling for a while only to make Liang Zhen ease up on the deep thrusts. As Liang Zhen had said, he was just getting started. Shao Mingyin endured for over ten minutes, but there was no sign of release.

After spitting it out again, Shao Mingyin didn’t take the tip into his mouth again, but instead, held the shaft and went for Liang Zhen’s testicles. Liang Zhen started bracing himself against the cubicle partitions again, feeling both ecstatic and incredulous. He was experiencing increasingly intense pleasure, but he still held back. Finally, when Shao Mingyin’s mouth started to feel numb, he asked helplessly, “How much longer?”

“Still a long way to go,” Liang Zhen felt a bit guilty but remained stubborn. “I have good endurance.”

“Okay, okay,” Shao Mingyin acquiesced. By now, his cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and perhaps because of the prolonged oral activity, his eyes were watery, and Liang Zhen, looking down at him, couldn’t resist grabbing his hair, pressing his palm against his scalp, and using his fingers to lift it up.

Liang Zhen asked, his voice hoarse with desire and determination, “You still haven’t told me, do you remember my name?”

“I do,” Shao Mingyin blinked slowly, this time without any teasing.

He said, “Your name is Liang Zhen.”

When Liang Zhen heard Shao Mingyin call him that, not “kid” or “little boy”, he felt something soft in his heart being touched. This directly stimulated his desire down there, uncontrollably wanting another surge. Shao Mingyin sensed the desire in Liang Zhen’s eyes and cooperatively took Liang Zhen’s member into his mouth again. After a few strokes, Liang Zhen’s first release in his life happened.

Liang Zhen didn’t do it intentionally. Of course, he kept himself clean and pure. But after all, it was another man’s semen. At the moment of ejaculation, when he withdrew, he was genuinely afraid that Shao Mingyin would gag.

However, when he didn’t withdraw, it was fine. As soon as he pulled out, the cum sprayed all over Shao Mingyin’s face. Although both of them quickly distanced themselves, besides the semen that landed on the floor, some also got on Shao Mingyin’s clothes and collarbone.

Liang Zhen hadn’t even begun to contemplate when this sudden situation left him bewildered. He hadn’t even tidied his underwear and belt properly when he hurriedly reached into his jacket pocket to find tissue to wipe Shao Mingyin’s face. Since Shao Mingyin had no tissue, he knelt down and waited for Liang Zhen to crouch down, gingerly wiping his face with a tissue. As he wiped, Shao Mingyin couldn’t help but laugh. Liang Zhen, feeling frustrated, threw away the tissue and asked Shao Mingyin, “What’s so funny?”

Shao Mingyin pointed to his open underwear belt. Although Liang Zhen promptly straightened himself out, the sight of him squatting with everything exposed still amused Shao Mingyin for quite some time.

After leaving the cubicle, Shao Mingyin washed his face again. When he saw Liang Zhen in the mirror, his expression and demeanor seemed as if nothing had happened. This made Liang Zhen feel a bit uneasy. Shao Mingyin said he was going home, and Liang Zhen suggested he would give him a ride.

Shao Mingyin didn’t refuse and got into the GTC4 with Liang Zhen. Regardless of the traffic, he casually asked, “Do you have a driver’s license?”

“Of course,” Liang Zhen took it out to show him. Shao Mingyin looked at the address on the license, which was obtained in Lanzhou last year.

Liang Zhen explained, “I should have gotten it during the summer vacation of the year of the college entrance examination, but I was not yet of legal age at that time, so I took the test during the last summer vacation.”

“Ah,” Shao Mingyin put the license back, “There are also many people around Wenzhou who took the test during that time.”

“What about you? Did you also get your license after the college entrance examination?”

“Me? I’m not a local in Wenzhou.”

This answer completely surprised Liang Zhen. He had always thought Shao Mingyin was a native of Wenzhou, otherwise why would he be a community patrol officer? This job had no upward mobility. Local people could still benefit a bit from connections, but for an outsider, no matter how many years they worked, it would be difficult to advance.

But after Shao Mingyin said this, Liang Zhen also noticed that in the few times they had met, Shao Mingyin had never spoken Wenzhou dialect. He should understand it but still didn’t speak it. Liang Zhen was curious and asked, “So where is your hometown?”

Shao Mingyin didn’t answer directly. Instead, he leaned against the window. Although hometown was not something shameful, Shao Mingyin avoided the topic. He raised his hand to touch the car roof and asked if the car could be opened.

Liang Zhen regretted driving this car. The convertible 911 and the LX with a sunroof were parked in the garage, but he chose this GTC4, which had a solid roof. He thought Shao Mingyin might want to feel the breeze, so he pressed the control panel on his side to lower the window for him. Seeing that Shao Mingyin didn’t seem to want to talk anymore, Liang Zhen thought he might be a bit tired and didn’t initiate further conversation.

From Jiangbin Road to Mushan Street, Shao Mingyin’s posture didn’t change much, so much so that when Liang Zhen followed the navigation to the entrance of his rented community, he thought Shao Mingyin had fallen asleep.

But as soon as the car stopped, Shao Mingyin opened the door and got out. Liang Zhen saw that he was still awake, feeling somewhat disappointed for no reason.

After getting out of the car, Liang Zhen didn’t walk to the driver’s side but bent down and tapped on the car door, saying, “Thank you” before heading towards the entrance of the community. Liang Zhen didn’t expect Shao Mingyin to invite him up or anything, but leaving so quickly was a bit too straightforward.

So he also got out of the car and stood behind the door, calling out Shao Mingyin’s name.

Shao Mingyin turned his head, looking at the GTC4, which shouldn’t be seen in such a remote community, and the Liang Zhen who came from Lanzhou standing behind the open door. He was really young, with a youthful temperament and sincerity.

Shao Mingyin asked, “Is there anything else?”

“I—” Liang Zhen pursed his lips and asked, “I want to know what you said to that lawyer guy.”

“Do you really want to know?” Shao Mingyin asked.

Liang Zhen nodded, “Yes.”

Without hesitation, Shao Mingyin walked over. Although there was a car door between them, it didn’t stop him from resting his chin on Liang Zhen’s shoulder.

“I said…” he deliberately blew on Liang Zhen’s neck first, then whispered in his ear, “I told him not to mess with the police, or I would charge him with assaulting an officer.”

Liang Zhen shuddered, and the hand holding the mineral water bottle tightened, making the plastic emit a squeaky sound. It was as if he could see Shao Mingyin say those words, then without waiting for any reaction, take two steps back and turn away. It was at this moment that a gust of wind blew in his face, allowing Liang Zhen to catch a whiff of Shao Mingyin’s faint scent.

Now, in his own kitchen, Liang Zhen took a deep breath, as if he could still smell that familiar scent from memory. It was his own scent, but it clung to Shao Mingyin.

Liang Zhen opened the refrigerator again, this time not taking the mineral water but instead sticking his head into the freezer. He needed the cool air to calm his overheated nerves and to clear his mind, which was stubbornly filled with thoughts of Shao Mingyin.
