Chapter 46

Ye Chen was firmly trapped in Shen Mofeng’s arms, and even through the thick fabric of the coat, he could still feel the vigorous and solid muscles underneath. The half of his body pressed against Shen Mofeng felt as hot as burning fire. Ye Chen attempted to struggle, but they were too close, and when he exerted force, the collar of his robe was rubbed askew and slid significantly towards his shoulder, almost slipping off.

Ye Chen’s skin was so fair and flawless that not a single blemish or mole could be found on his entire chest. The contours of his collarbones, shoulder lines, neck tendons, and slender chest muscles were sharp and handsome. Despite his skin being delicate and fair, there was no hint of artificial powderiness; everything was just right.

His shoulders and collarbones seemed perfect for being licked, nibbled, and bitten…

Shen Mofeng glanced at him, then looked away and loosened his grip. Ye Chen blushed and adjusted his collar, apologizing humbly, “Shen ge, you’re so outstanding, I really don’t deserve you at all. Please calm down, you might not like me anymore after a while, so there’s really no need for this…”

“Don’t deserve me?” Shen Mofeng’s voice was cold as ice. “As long as I like you, you’re worthy. Don’t give me the nice guy card^[1]发好人卡 – (slang) Reject somebody by labeling them a “nice guy”.”

Ye Chen dared not say anything more, just apologized dryly, cowering like a quail in the corner of the sofa. Now that he understood Shen Mofeng’s orientation, he was afraid of accidentally provoking him. He meticulously adjusted his robe, hiding his collarbones from view, and let the hem hang down to his calves, looking as dignified as if he were wearing a dragon robe.

Shen Mofeng saw through Ye Chen’s psychological activities. He knew it wasn’t the time to tease, but he couldn’t resist a bit of mischief. He playfully reached out and adjusted Ye Chen’s robe belt, whispering, “Didn’t you promise me that you’d be willing to do anything I asked?”

Ye Chen hesitated, “Feelings… can’t be forced, Shen ge.”

“I’m not forcing you to like me.” Shen Mofeng, teetering on the edge of throwing a tantrum like a child, continued mischievously, “Just accompany me for one night, okay?”

Ye Chen’s shoulders trembled suddenly, and he submitted to his guilt, stiffly lowering his head. A slow blush started from his cheeks and spread downwards, resembling an incense stick slowly burning in a censer.

Shen Mofeng stared at him maliciously, his own embarrassment somewhat offset by Ye Chen’s embarrassed and indignant appearance, which looked as if he wanted to die of shame. It was a bit of revenge for the earlier humiliation.

“What do you mean?” Ye Chen forced a smile, blushing from head to toe like a cooked shrimp.

“You’re an adult now, can’t you understand?” Shen Mofeng leaned closer, whispering in Ye Chen’s ear with a low voice, “Tonight, I want you, I want to sleep with you, I want to bed^[2]上床 – (colloquial) to have s*x you, and I want to make…”

“Don’t, don’t say it.” Ye Chen didn’t know what came over him, but his bottom squirmed uncomfortably on the sofa, feeling so embarrassed he could almost burst into flames.

“Aren’t you supposed to agree to anything I ask? Changed your mind?” Shen Mofeng said slowly, “Whether you’re straight or not doesn’t matter, I don’t need you to do anything…”

It was all fun and games until someone got serious, and then it was still fun and games!

With a face as red as a tomato, Ye Chen suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

Shen Mofeng thought the child was going to explode, but to his surprise, Ye Chen walked towards the master bedroom with an expression of resignation, saying, “I got it, I’ll, I’ll go prepare…”

Shen Mofeng grabbed his wrist and gritted his teeth, “Prepare for what?”

Change into the CK underwear I’ve been saving! Ye Chen thought bitterly, closing his mouth tight.

“You’ve got principles, kid,” Shen Mofeng ground his teeth and pulled Ye Chen back onto his lap, saying angrily, “You’d rather do this than be in a relationship with me? You don’t like me that much?”

“No.” Realizing that Shen Mofeng was just bluffing again, Ye Chen visibly relaxed, hanging his head and saying with a somewhat resigned tone, “If you just want to… do that with me, then treat me like a tool, I can objectively do it, even if it’s to repay my debt to you… But if it’s about a relationship, I have to be responsible to you…”

“So obedient?” Shen Mofeng chuckled, pinching Ye Chen’s chin and forcing him to look into his eyes, saying in a low voice, “Anyone who tries to blackmail you like that is scum.” Teacher Shen patiently lectured his little student, “No matter who he is or what he’s done for you, from the moment he makes such a request, he’s no longer worth your obedience, understand?”

“Oh.” Ye Chen looked at Shen Mofeng with a complicated expression, unsure whether he should be obedient or not!

“But I’m not scum.” Shen Mofeng thickened his skin, using his gaze to trace Ye Chen’s lips, confidently saying, “I’m not that excessive, at most, I’ll just kiss you.”

“…” Ye Chen was speechless.

“Chen Chen,” Shen Mofeng reached out and held the back of Ye Chen’s neck, pressing his head towards his own, smiling enticingly, “Can I kiss you again? Consider it an advance payment, and when we’re together, I’ll repay you with interest…”

“Wait, so you kiss when you borrow and also when you repay?” Ye Chen subconsciously tried to make sense of this confusing situation, but Shen Mofeng took advantage of his moment of speech to gently peck his face.

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he instinctively turned his head to avoid it, but Shen Mofeng had already let him go after the kiss.

“Starting today, I’ll try to ‘bend’ you, okay?” Shen Mofeng asked seemingly gentlemanly, “Give me a chance?”

“How are you going to ‘bend’ me?” Ye Chen asked nervously, subtly moving his butt from Shen Mofeng’s lap to the sofa.

Shen Mofeng took out the watch from his coat pocket, pinched Ye Chen’s wrist, and said word by word, “Starting today, accept my kindness towards you, accept my pursuit of you. Anytime my actions or suggestions make you uncomfortable, you can refuse me without hesitation.” Shen Mofeng said with a self-deprecating smile, “Anyway, I’ve already lost all face in front of you.”

“I can’t accept this,” Ye Chen quickly withdrew his hand, reluctantly looking at the watch he liked so much, and firmly said, “It’s too expensive. But the other things you said… I’m willing to give it a try, just not this.”

In line with Shen Mofeng’s intentions and needs, Ye Chen was willing to try being ‘turned’ by him. But the watch was too expensive; even 200 yuan was not a small amount for him at the moment…

“What’s the problem?” Shen Mofeng casually raised his lips, “I’m not trying to buy you with money… I just think it suits you. I spent so much time and effort picking this gift for you. Refusing it just because it’s a bit expensive would be wasting my sincerity, don’t you think?”

Ye Chen had no response to that.

“Just think of it as being bought for 200 yuan, no pressure.” Shen Mofeng ruffled Ye Chen’s hair.

Ye Chen suffered from a kind of casual wealth shock, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously, “Then… if I can’t be ‘bent,’ I’ll repay you later.”

“That’s impossible. You weren’t straight to begin with,” Shen Mofeng chuckled.

Ye Chen was left speechless.

Moreover, there was no logic in asking back gifts that were given during the pursuit of someone but failed. It would be too tasteless… Shen Mofeng thought about it for a moment, but refrained from saying it, fearing that Ye Chen would refuse to accept it again.

“Continuing,” Shen Mofeng put on the watch and continued to establish some ground rules with Ye Chen, “If I do something that doesn’t make you uncomfortable, you’re not allowed to reject me just because you feel embarrassed, can you do that?”

Ye Chen nodded vigorously. “I can.”

Shen Mofeng questioned slowly, “Do you sincerely regret deceiving me with the alt account?”

Ye Chen’s expression was resolute. “Yes.”

“Little lying spirit,” Shen Mofeng raised his hand and affectionately flicked Ye Chen’s nose. “From now on, no more lies. When I ask you something, you have to answer honestly, no more evasions or deceits. Can you do that?”

Except for matters related to Mountain and Sea Realm… Ye Chen’s ears burned from the flick, but he hadn’t forgotten to silently add a clause to his own terms. After finishing the addition, he said, “I can do that.”

Shen Mofeng smiled. “Then I have a question.”

So soon… Ye Chen was taken aback. “What question?”

Shen Mofeng asked knowingly, “Did your heart beat faster when I kissed you just now? Or was there no change?”

Ye Chen collected his thoughts, unable to resist recalling the details of the kiss. After a while, he squeezed out a word, “…faster.”

No lying…

“What were you thinking at the time? How did you feel?” Shen Mofeng’s tone was calm, almost flat, as if a teacher was giving an exam.

“It’s just…” Ye Chen’s eyes were moist, “…I felt embarrassed.”

Shen Mofeng coughed lightly to hide his amusement and teased, “Did it feel comfortable?”

No lying… Ye Chen leaned on his forehead, emitting metaphorical smoke, and whispered in a barely audible voice, “A little bit…”
