Yan Shuoyun handed a stack of cash to Chen Hanlian, asking him to settle the bill. If it wasn’t enough, he told him to let him know later. Right now, he had something urgent to attend to.

Chen Hanlian was startled by the large amount of cash, terrified of getting robbed.

Still, he was willing to help his friend, even though he didn’t know why Yan Shuoyun was in such a hurry.

Quietly, Yan Shuoyun left the izakaya and walked over to his car, where Fu Yichen was already waiting as instructed, clutching his bag nervously. His eyes were still a bit hazy.

Fu Yichen didn’t expect a college student like Yan Shuoyun to already be driving a luxury car.

They were clearly from different worlds, yet he still found himself drawn in.

He didn’t know why he had agreed to go to a hotel with Yan Shuoyun. Maybe the alcohol still hadn’t worn off, or maybe it was just the mood.

With a faint smile, Yan Shuoyun opened the passenger door for him, and Fu Yichen got in, fastening his seatbelt carefully.

His nerves made all his actions stiff as he waited for Yan Shuoyun to get in the car too.

Once inside, Yan Shuoyun smoothly fastened his seatbelt, then leaned over to adjust Fu Yichen’s as well.

Fu Yichen was grateful, but the proximity was overwhelming.

His heart was about to leap out of his chest as he kept watching Yan Shuoyun’s every move.

Amused by the look on Fu Yichen’s face, Yan Shuoyun leaned in and kissed his brow. “What are you thinking? You keep staring.”

“I was thinking that maybe you’ve mistaken me for someone else, Senior…” Fu Yichen stammered nervously.

A kiss on the forehead like that—it embarrassed him to no end. How could Yan Shuoyun kiss him like that?

“No, you’re Fu Yichen, aren’t you?”

His Fu Yichen.

Fu Yichen was shocked. He didn’t expect Yan Shuoyun to know his name.

Even though everyone had introduced themselves during dinner, he thought he was just another passerby that Yan Shuoyun would forget.

Senior probably just heard it and moved on, right?

“Then why did you…” If he recognized him, why would he invite him to a hotel?

Fu Yichen had assumed that Yan Shuoyun had mistaken him for someone else, so he was shamelessly going along with it.

He hadn’t even thought about what would happen if they actually ended up… doing it. His secret would definitely be revealed. He must have been too drunk and foolish earlier.

But now that he realized Yan Shuoyun had known all along, all of his rationality came rushing back in an instant.

Yan Shuoyun just continued kissing him, moving down to his soft lips and cheeks, teasing him. He understood what Fu Yichen was implying and whispered, “Mm, because you’re cute.”

“You’re not… gay, are you?” Fu Yichen didn’t really want to face this reality, and his heart ached as he asked.

Fu Yichen had known since childhood that he wasn’t straight. He had grown up with only his sister, as their parents had passed away when they were young, though they left behind enough inheritance for him and his sister to live comfortably.

Suddenly, he had the urge to get out of the car. If Senior touched him and realized something was wrong, he’d rather die than face that.

“I should… get out…” He moved to unbuckle his seatbelt, but Yan Shuoyun immediately stopped him.

No way, he couldn’t let him escape.

Yan Shuoyun firmly grabbed Fu Yichen’s restless hand that was fumbling with the seatbelt.

He leaned in and kissed him deeply, biting Fu Yichen’s lips just enough to make him breathless.

Then, without hesitation, he slipped his hand under Fu Yichen’s shirt and pinched his nipple through the fabric.

Fu Yichen winced in pain, letting out a small “Ah.”

His eyes, wide and confused, looked like a startled deer. How did Senior know to… touch him there?

He stared at Yan Shuoyun in disbelief, unsure what to do with his hands.

Yan Shuoyun, of course, wasn’t going to reveal that in their previous life, they had slept together for over five years. He knew exactly where all of Fu Yichen’s sensitive spots were.

The rough location of his nipples, the soft, delicate shape of his penis, and even the faint little mole near his crotch…

Damn it, just thinking about all that made Yan Shuoyun almost lose control right there in the car.

But he held back. He didn’t want Fu Yichen’s first time to be a quick fling in a car. He knew that in their previous life, Fu Yichen had only been with him, and at this point in time, he still wanted to be the only one.

“Don’t you like it?” Yan Shuoyun’s voice was low and hoarse, his intense gaze making Fu Yichen feel completely disoriented.

“I… I don’t dislike it…”

Even if Senior was just playing with him, the alcohol was kicking in again. Fu Yichen saw that gaze and decided to surrender.

Besides, if this ended up being just a fleeting memory, even if Senior regretted it afterward, Fu Yichen felt like he’d still come out on top, having secretly admired him for so long.

“Then let’s go.” Yan Shuoyun smiled, starting the car. One hand on the steering wheel, the other still holding onto Fu Yichen’s hand.

Fu Yichen could barely breathe. What on earth was Senior doing…?

Why did he keep teasing him like this? What was happening?

Meanwhile, Yan Shuoyun was thinking ahead.

There was a nice hotel nearby, but they’d probably need to swing by a convenience store first to buy some condoms.

Just in case.
