As soon as he stood in front of Shen Xunye, Shen Qiang's energy returned.
Chi Li glanced at Shen Xunye's face discreetly, but still politely said, "Okay, I won't forget."
As Shen Qiang walked out, he waved behind him, saying, "Goodnight."
Only after Shen Qiang had completely disappeared from sight did Shen Xunye step forward to stand in front of Chi Li.
"How long have you been here?" Chi Li's lips curled slightly as she looked up at him. "Why didn't you knock?"
"I saw you two come in together when I arrived." Shen Xunye raised his arm to check the time. "You two chatted for 26 minutes."
He really wanted to join the chat.
But he knew that with him there, the two of them wouldn't be able to have the conversation he wanted to have, so he had no choice but to be patient and wait outside.
However, his patience only lasted for half an hour.
More than half an hour has passed, and the person inside still hasn't come out... He might as well tear the door down.
Chi Li laughed, "Is a timekeeper coming to my door?"
Shen Xunye stepped inside, scanning the room's furnishings with his eyes, and then blurted out a casual insult, "He's no good, of course I have to keep an eye on him."
"Oh." Chi Li closed the door again. "So, what brings you here?"
"Two hours." Shen Xunye spoke as casually as if he were at home, pulling up a chair and sitting down. "You forgot?"
"But..." Chi Li began slowly, " Zhou Yang is gone. Who are you going to show this to for the next two hours?"
Shen Xunye: "..."
Oh no... I forgot Zhou Yang is gone...
Now, and in the future... what reason can I give to stay...?
"Well, he just moved out today, so it's understandable that he forgot for a moment." Chi Li pulled out the box containing the bracelet from the bed. "I just happen to need to talk to you."
"What's wrong?" Shen Xunye breathed a slight sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't kicked out on the spot.
"This brand asked us to do a two-person promotion, and I've accepted." Chi Li picked out the obviously longer bracelet and handed it over. "Remember to wear it tomorrow."
"Okay." Shen Xunye obediently took it and asked an obvious question. "You can wear it too, right?"
"Of course," Chi Li nodded. "They want us to wear them together, and this way we can sell one big one."
Shen Xunye: "..."
All they ever think about is selling bromance.
Well, let's sell it then. Being able to sell is a blessing. Others want to sell but can't find anything to sell.
Chi Li, oblivious to Shen Xunye's silence, asked with concern, "Don't you have any personal business?"
Shen Xunye: "I won't accept any business trips other than those with you."
Even the daily necessities that were placed in the rooms of the rented members were not delivered to him because there was no camera in his room.
Chi Li remained noncommittal. "Anyway, Shen Xunye didn't come here to make money; he came for medical treatment." "Then... to the CP fans, this is going to be another sweet treat."
"... Hmm." Shen Xunye felt a little annoyed.
It's true that their success and failure both stem from selling homoerotic content.
Being able to openly flirt with Chi Li under countless eyes by exploiting their bromance, and being able to show off and display their intimacy, is certainly a good thing.
But the thought that all the real-life ambiguous relationships that follow will be categorized as "bromance"... makes it hard not to feel a little heartbroken.
"Suddenly, I feel..." Chi Li sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes lowered, her fingers gently touching the clothes scattered on it, and she chuckled softly, "This all feels so unreal."
He only came here to slap Zhou Yang in the face, and only did what he wanted to do.
The things I once dreamed of are now so easily placed before me.
Perhaps... it really was a beautiful dream carefully woven for him by heaven?
Who knows, one day my dream might shatter.
Hearing Chi Li's somewhat cautious words, Shen Xunye quickly stood up, walked step by step to him, and looked down at him.
Chi Li tilted her head back, wondering what Shen Xunye meant by this, and blinked her innocent eyes.
The person in front of him looked at him for a few seconds, then slowly bent down, bringing their gaze to his level.
Then, with an undeniable composure, he grasped Chi Li's right hand.
He took that hand and pressed it tightly against his left chest, near his heart, through the thin silk nightgown.
A clear and powerful vibration came from beneath my palm.
Thump, thump, thump.
One after another.
Calm and composed, yet powerful.
Carrying the most primal warmth and rhythm of life, it was transmitted to Chi Li's palm without any hindrance.
Shen Xunye lowered his head, leaned close to Chi Li's ear, and said calmly, "Can you feel it?"
Chi Li trembled slightly, as if the heartbeat beneath his palm resonated with his own, making his fingertips go numb.
"I feel... your heartbeat is..." Chi Li's fingers unconsciously curled up, "... very healthy."
Shen Xunye chuckled softly, the carefully constructed ambiguous atmosphere vanishing completely. "... I was trying to make you feel real."
"Oh..."
Chi Li was somewhat embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Shen Xunye held on tightly and refused to let go.
"Enjoy it a little longer," he made a somewhat unreasonable request.
"But..." Chi Li glanced at him up and down, bit her lower lip for a few seconds, and then hesitated before speaking, "I think... besides a heartbeat, touching other places might also allow you to feel the reality."
His voice was soft, with a drawn-out ending, carrying a hint of secretive, unconscious flirtation.
The words were vague, but the meaning was crystal clear.
Shen Xunye's fingers, which were resting on the back of his hand, stiffened almost imperceptibly.
A few seconds of deathly silence followed.
Shen Xunye released his hand, straightened up, relaxed slightly, and said in a lower, hoarse voice, "Okay, touch."
There was no rule about where to touch, and no restrictions whatsoever.
Chi Li's fingers, which had just come down from Shen Xunye's chest, twitched slightly, looking somewhat helpless.
He was just joking, so how did this person... agree?
Oh well. Might as well touch it while it's free.
It's not like he's only been lusting after Shen Xunye's great physique for a short time. Now that his master has given him the freedom to touch, how could he refuse?
Chi Li stood up from the bed, and boldly stretched out both hands, placing them on her pectoral muscles.
He could clearly feel the firm, taut muscle contours beneath.
Lingering for a moment as you walk down, you see clearly defined abdominal muscles. They rise and fall slightly with Shen Xunye's steady breathing.
My fingers swam to the side of my waist, then down to my thigh. This area didn't disappoint either, still displaying perfect muscle definition.
As the hand moved from the outside in, the breathing that fell into the ear suddenly became heavier.
Chi Li looked up and saw Shen Xunye's apple bobbing violently on his slightly sweaty neck.
He instinctively looked down.
Just below Shen Xunye's lower abdomen, at the base of his thighs... the originally smooth fabric of his trousers was now, with an undeniable, extremely slow yet remarkably determined pace, being gradually pushed up to create a jarring, prominent outline.
The outline was not obvious at first, but under Chi Li's gaze, it seemed to come alive, quickly becoming full and firm.
The fabric of the trousers was stretched taut, outlining a clear and horrifying shape.
