…What a terrible line.

Lin Chen leaned his head back against the sofa, his gaze fixed somewhat listlessly on the ceiling.

He didn’t agree to the suggestion.

Compared to Cheng Huanzhen, who didn’t even realize how terrible his own words were, Lin Chen’s skin was still a bit too thin.

But since he didn’t refuse, Cheng Huanzhen took it as tacit consent.

He kissed his earlobe, his cheek, his neck, and his collarbone.

Then he kissed downwards, to his chest.

To his lower abdomen.

Finally, slightly coarse hair brushed against his lower abdomen.

Warm.

Soft.

…A wondrous sensation.

A novel feeling.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but slide his fingers into Cheng Huanzhen’s hair, his palm gently stroking the back of Cheng Huanzhen’s head.

He lowered his eyes, his voice finally softening as he whispered, “If you don’t like it, you don’t have to do this.”

Cheng Huanzhen didn’t answer him.

Cheng Huanzhen simply used his free hand to reach for Lin Chen’s equally free hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, pressing the back of Lin Chen’s hand deep into the leather of the sofa.

Lin Chen unconsciously stroked the back of Cheng Huanzhen’s head over and over, his gaze falling on their interlaced fingers.

He thought, Cheng Huanzhen is really getting more and more presumptuous now.

In the beginning, Cheng Huanzhen would ask before holding hands or hugging. But now? It had all turned into acting first and reporting later!

However, as he gently stroked Cheng Huanzhen, the hair beneath his fingertips seemed to become soft and obedient under his repeated caresses.

…Very well-behaved.

And he had always liked well-behaved children.

So, indulging him a little wouldn’t hurt, right?

Just then, the sound of a door opening and closing suddenly came from outside the room.

“…Gege!”

Lin Chen: “…!”

Cheng Huanzhen: “…!”

Lin Chen’s eyelids flew open, his fingers subconsciously gripping Cheng Huanzhen’s scalp tightly.

Cheng Huanzhen’s movements also stopped abruptly.

The air instantly froze. The bedroom was so quiet that even the suddenly accelerated heartbeats could be heard clearly.

“…Gege? Are you in the study?”

Footsteps from outside came up the stairs.

Lin Chen calmly pressed the heel of his palm against Cheng Huanzhen’s head, trying to push him away.

At the same time, using Wen Siheng’s voice, he loudly replied, “I’m here, A-Shao! Why did you come back suddenly!”

Cheng Huanzhen quietly moved back slightly, but he didn’t go far.

Warm breath fell onto Lin Chen’s body without missing a beat.

A bit hurried.

But strangely, not like nervousness.

Lin Chen lowered his eyes and saw that Cheng Huanzhen was also looking up, staring intently at him.

Those black eyes were quiet and focused; the voice outside didn’t seem to draw any of his attention.

Lin Chen felt that Cheng Huanzhen seemed to be expecting something.

At a time like this… expecting what?

Lin Chen dangerously mouthed a warning: Don’t cause trouble.

Wen Shaozhuo’s footsteps quickly approached the study.

“I left something at home, so Teacher drove me back specifically to get it. I brought you a gift on the way back, Gege!”

Cheng Huanzhen blinked slowly and rubbed the tip of his nose against Lin Chen in response.

The feeling that had slightly subsided due to nervousness and the interruption was reignited by Cheng Huanzhen’s nuzzling.

Lin Chen glared fiercely at Cheng Huanzhen and pressed harder against his forehead.

“Wen Siheng” responded loudly, “Then wait a moment, I’m doing an interview right now. I’ll come find you after I finish!”

Wen Shaozhuo’s voice stopped at the door, instantly becoming tense. “Interview? Ah, Gege, did I disturb your interview? …How long will you be, Gege?”

“Wen Siheng”: “About… about twenty minutes!”

Wen Shaozhuo said distressfully, “Teacher is still waiting outside for me, I have to leave right away. Then you focus on your interview, Gege, I won’t disturb you. I’ll put the gift on the dining table, remember to eat it later! Don’t get too tired!”

“Wen Siheng” loudly: “Okay! Thanks A-Shao, when you come home in a couple of days, Gege will cook you a big meal!”

Footsteps finally went downstairs, then the front door opened and closed. Everything finally returned to silence.

As soon as the noise left, kisses fell silently on his body once again.

Lin Chen glared at Cheng Huanzhen and scolded in a low voice, “Couldn’t hold back for even a moment? Wait!”

The feeling of a tingling scalp and a racing heart still lingered in his body.

Lin Chen called a halt to Cheng Huanzhen and immediately found the System in the little black room, instructing it: “Put the camera on A-Shao and see if he really left. Tell me after you check. The camera isn’t allowed to come back, or face the consequences yourself.”

After speaking, he released the System from the little black room.

As soon as the System came out, its tone was extremely aggrieved: “Host, you can’t lock a System up for so long and then make it work the moment it comes out!”

Despite saying this, it still worked diligently, reporting: “Wen Shaozhuo got in the car, and the car has started leaving the villa area. Host, why do you suddenly need to monitor Wen Shaozhuo? …Eh, Host, your current state is very strange. Do you need the System to help reset your physiological condition?”

The System asked with extreme innocence.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his tone softening. “No need. Be good, I’m giving you a vacation. Go rest in the little black room.”

With a casual coaxing word, he threw the System back into the little black room.

Only after doing all this did the tension in his palms finally relax.

He gently patted Cheng Huanzhen’s cheek and glared at him. “What were you thinking just now?”

Cheng Huanzhen lowered his eyes, nuzzled, and kissed.

Then he looked up and said seriously, “Thinking of you, Little Uncle. Besides missing you, what else could I be thinking about?”

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. “You’re perfunctory me.”

Cheng Huanzhen said confusedly and earnestly, “I’m not being perfunctory, Little Uncle. I’m telling the truth.”

…He just thought, if they were discovered, wouldn’t everyone know about his relationship with Little Uncle?

How could that not count as thinking about Little Uncle?

He was clearly thinking about Little Uncle.

With a soft, long sigh, all the kissing ended.

When he got up from the floor, Cheng Huanzhen’s knees were still cold.

He savored the taste of Little Uncle.

Such an experience and taste made him even harder to control himself.

He took care of the subsequent simple cleanup.

Although it was his first time, he cleaned up quickly. In just three minutes, he returned to the sofa.

Since he finished kissing, Little Uncle had been leaning lazily against the sofa, too lazy to even open his eyes. Only when he approached did he lift his eyelids, his eyes overflowing with a smile.

Little Uncle patted the sofa and said concisely, “Come here, sit.”

Cheng Huanzhen pulled out a tissue, wiped the water droplets from his hands and face, and tossed the tissue into the trash bin.

He sat next to Little Uncle and naturally embraced him.

Aside from a dissatisfied grunt when his hug made Little Uncle’s body tilt, Little Uncle didn’t say anything else. He didn’t even scold him with his usual “act first, report later”!

He went to kiss Little Uncle’s earlobe again, kissing the crook of his neck.

Little Uncle grunted again but didn’t complain about him being too clingy.

Cheng Huanzhen raised his eyes, gazing expectantly at Little Uncle’s cheek and the tips of his ears.

Little Uncle’s cheeks were finally not as pale as usual.

A rosy complexion, healthy color, smiling corners of the mouth, bright eyes.

—Little Uncle’s face turned red, his mood improved, and the world became brighter!

Cheng Huanzhen was overjoyed!

One last item remained.

He leaned nervously close to Little Uncle’s ear and whispered, “Little Uncle, what is 139 times 39?”

Little Uncle’s smile froze, and he asked blankly, “What?”

…Little Uncle’s brain speed had slowed down too!

Cheng Huanzhen was even more delighted.

He hugged Little Uncle tightly, nuzzling and kissing him again and again.

Little Uncle was kissed back onto the sofa by him.

The moment he fell onto the sofa, Little Uncle made a very dissatisfied “Mmph” sound and finally scolded him: “Kiss if you want, hug if you want, what are you knocking me down for?”

Cheng Huanzhen took the scolding but wasn’t pushed away or kicked, knowing that Little Uncle was fake angry again.

He said huskily, “Because you’re too light, Little Uncle. You fall over as soon as I hug you.”

He propped himself up on his elbows, his bright eyes looking intently into Little Uncle’s eyes.

Little Uncle’s eyes were so beautiful; every time he looked, he couldn’t help but fall into them.

He asked softly, “Little Uncle, what do you think our relationship counts as now?”

Little Uncle raised an eyebrow. “What relationship do you want? An authentic uncle-nephew relationship!”

Cheng Huanzhen was a bit puzzled.

Their uncle-nephew relationship didn’t seem to be authentic from the very beginning.

But he thought about it and said, “Do you really like that title and relationship status, Little Uncle? Okay.”

Little Uncle didn’t make a sound but kicked him.

But coincidentally, this kick landed on his lower abdomen.

Cheng Huanzhen clearly saw Little Uncle’s expression suddenly freeze the moment his foot touched him.

But in the next moment, a smile reappeared on Little Uncle’s face.

Little Uncle looked at him and smiled. “Only focused on helping me, you didn’t resolve it yourself? Get up, I’ll help you.”

Cheng Huanzhen felt his temperature shoot up to his neck instantly.

Cheng Huanzhen stared at Little Uncle eagerly. “…Can I, Little Uncle?”

Little Uncle propped himself up halfway and smiled. “But I can only lend you a hand.”

“Oh.” Cheng Huanzhen was disappointed for a second but quickly perked up.

With a small hope, he asked nervously, “Little Uncle, can we swap the hand for a foot?”

Little Uncle: “?”

Little Uncle was stunned for a moment, then laughed and fell back onto the sofa.

After laughing for a while until he was tired, Little Uncle sighed deeply, grabbed his collar and pulled him down. With his other hand, he felt and flicked at his waist, undoing his belt.

Little Uncle said gently, “Alright, I’ll satisfy you today.”

…

Time flew by.

During the time Wen Shaozhuo was busy, Cheng Huanzhen met with Little Uncle time and again.

Because of the near-accident last time, they almost never met indoors for their subsequent dates.

Most of the time, Little Uncle would deliberately remove his makeup and go out with his original appearance to play with him.

Occasionally, they would go back to the villa under Little Uncle’s name to water the flowers and plants, then hug, kiss, and do some things.

But Little Uncle’s villa was a bit far, and Little Uncle didn’t always have the patience to commute back.

Fortunately, the Cheng family had many properties. During this time, Cheng Huanzhen went home and crammed knowledge about the quantity and addresses of the vacant houses under the Cheng family’s name. Whenever Little Uncle was too lazy to go home, he would choose the nearest place and take Little Uncle there.

Little Uncle had no objection to this, only occasionally asking him, “Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by your grandfather?”

Then he would smile faintly and tap the center of his chest with a finger, saying, “If you anger Old Master Cheng, he might just strip you of your heir status, you know? Young Master Cheng.”

Cheng Huanzhen thought about this question seriously. He said, “Then I will save money as soon as possible, saving it in different secure accounts, or keeping it with you, Little Uncle. If Grandfather finds out and can’t be persuaded, then I’ll learn from Second Uncle and take you away from here. Is that okay, Little Uncle?”

Little Uncle sighed.

Cheng Huanzhen didn’t know why Little Uncle sighed. Was he unsatisfied with the answer?

Cheng Huanzhen tried hard to think it over and added, “As long as there’s capital, I can still earn money to support you even if I leave the Cheng family, Little Uncle. Don’t worry.”

Little Uncle sighed and laughed at him. “Do I need you to support me?”

Cheng Huanzhen looked at Little Uncle eagerly, unable to answer the question.

Today they were in Little Uncle’s villa.

Little Uncle lay on his stomach on the bed, calves kicking up, eating strawberries casually. Cheng Huanzhen sat by the bed, having nothing to do, so he helped massage Little Uncle’s shoulders and waist.

These strawberries were bought casually from the roadside on their way back.

They varied in size, some straight and some crooked.

None were as good-looking as Little Uncle’s big strawberry profile picture.

Thinking of the profile picture, Cheng Huanzhen suddenly asked, “Little Uncle, was your profile picture intentional?”

Little Uncle turned his head in confusion. “Hmm?”

Cheng Huanzhen thought for a moment and said, “I’ve always been wondering how I actually discovered you back then. If you hadn’t used that profile picture, Little Uncle, I might not have been able to confirm it was you.”

Little Uncle said “Oh” and turned back to eat strawberries. “You have good methods and are smart; it’s not strange you found me.”

Cheng Huanzhen pressed on Little Uncle’s waist and said, “Is that so? I thought your big strawberry profile picture was on purpose.”

Little Uncle said “Oh?” and turned back again. “What did I do on purpose?”

Cheng Huanzhen said slowly, “Deliberately using a big strawberry profile picture, waiting for someone to find you.”

Little Uncle blinked slowly twice. His kicked-up calf suddenly contracted and hit Cheng Huanzhen’s arm.

Little Uncle laughed at him. “Strawberries are delicious. I use a strawberry profile picture; where do you get so many reasons? Stop overthinking and massage properly.”
