He had no experience in dating, and his sexual life was even more of a blank slate; Lu Lin was the one who guided him the whole time.
But tomorrow...
Yan Heqing's entire body was burning hot.
He rejected Lu Lin just now because he wanted to save it for tomorrow.
Yan Heqing snapped out of his thoughts and opened the Midnight Private section.
Yan Heqing didn't shut down his computer until the early hours of the morning.
*
The next morning, Yan Heqing and Lu Lin arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock sharp.
They were the first couple.
After taking photos and swearing an oath, the staff stamped the document and handed over two small red books.
Yan Heqing carefully put the marriage certificate away before saying to Lu Lin, "I have something to do, you go back first."
Lu Lin laughed. He was locked inside doing bad things yesterday, and he's back again this morning?
He didn't press further, only ruffled Yan Heqing's hair, "Come back soon." He whispered in Yan Heqing's ear, still somewhat resentful, "I'll be waiting for you at home."
As a result, I didn't receive a call from Yan Heqing until 6 p. m.
"I live in the residential area. Can you come over now?"
Chapter 126
Lu Lin arrived at the house in the family quarters.
We got stuck in traffic during rush hour and didn't arrive until almost 8 o'clock. At dusk, most windows were lit, but theirs were dark.
Lu Lin's heart leaped into his throat. He quickly went upstairs while taking out his keys, and inserted the key to open the door as soon as he reached it.
Inside, it was quiet and dark, with only the sound of dripping water.
Lu Lin silently closed the door, took off his coat, put on his shoes, and went inside. Moonlight and lamplight shone in from outside, casting ripples of light and shadow on the floor. The fish tank glowed with a soft, warm orange light. The balcony door was left ajar, and the breeze that squeezed in made the white gauze curtains sway slightly.
Yan Heqing was not there.
Lu Lin was about to go to the bedroom, but after taking two steps, he stopped, listened for a while, and then changed direction to go to the bathroom.
The pattering sound wasn't coming from the fish tank, it was from the bathroom.
Upon entering the bathroom, a soft light shone through the glass windows, casting several irregular small circles on the floor in front of the door.
Lu Lin raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. Just as he was about to speak, the door slowly opened.
With the words stuck in his throat, Lu Lin, filled with doubt, stepped inside. The sound of water came from the bathroom in the inner room.
I couldn't see Yan Heqing through the glass partition with its begonia-shaped design.
Tick-tock.
The continuous sound of water splashing is coming from the bathtub.
Lu Lin quickened his pace and entered the bathroom, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He had the double bathtub filled with water, the surface covered with rose petals, and the faucet running, water trickling down.
The bathroom light was off; only a few scented candles sat on the windowsill, and the air was filled with the fragrance of white plum blossoms.
Gently, in the middle of the night when the snow is falling heavily, the flowers quietly bloom, releasing a fleeting, cool fragrance.
But Yan Heqing was still nowhere to be seen.
Lu Lin gently pinched his Adam's apple, turned around to go out and look for someone, and just as he turned around, rose petals swayed, and a slender, snow-white hand reached out and took Lu Lin's hanging hand.
Lu Lin realized something, his throat tightened and it hurt. He turned around, and with a splash, the person he was looking for emerged from the water.
In the hazy light and shadow, the young man looked up at him, his whole body soaked, his hair slightly curled and dripping into the water, a few deep red rose petals clinging to his snow-white face, and his light-colored eyes glistening with a warm, misty light.
Yan Heqing was still wearing a shirt.
The white fabric was wet, and the semi-transparent fabric clung tightly to her body. Two buttons were undone, and a rose petal was stuck to her collarbone, revealing a small patch of her dazzlingly white chest.
Lu Lin's eyes were as dark as the night. His Adam's apple bobbed several times before he managed to utter a hoarse voice, "My shirt."
"Yes." Yan Heqing stared at him without blinking, and stood up with his help. His shirt just reached his thighs, and his slender legs were about to step out of the bathtub when Lu Lin tightened his grip on his waist with his other hand, preventing him from moving.
Still finding it too far, Lu Lin stepped into the bathtub, and the water in the tub instantly overflowed, splashing onto the floor, covering it with rose petals.
Lu Lin held the person tightly in his arms. The water was hot, but the person in his arms was as cool as a white plum blossom. He slowly ran his fingers through Yan Heqing's hair, his heavy breath brushing against Yan Heqing's ear. "Help me unbutton my clothes."
Yan Heqing reached out and found Lu Lin's shirt button. Just as he was about to unbutton it, Lu Lin's hand slid down his hair, grasped his hand, and unbuttoned it with him.
He lowered his head and kissed Yan Heqing's eyes, moving down along the corners of his eyes, finally capturing his lips, which seemed to be tinged with the scent of white plum blossoms. Lu Lin's shirt fell to the ground, and he pulled Yan Heqing into the bathroom with him.
Petals continued to splash onto the ground with the water.
Yan Heqing stared at the bizarre and fantastical ceiling. The bathtub walls were slippery, so he had to grab the edge with one hand and wrap his other arm around Lu Lin's neck, as if clinging to his only piece of driftwood. If he let go, he would fall into the deep sea.
Lu Lin noticed Yan Heqing's embarrassment. He moved closer and gently nibbled at his earlobe, "Wrap your right leg around mine too."
Yan Heqing's consciousness was hazy. Upon hearing Lu Lin's voice, he immediately raised his foot.
Suddenly, a series of clear, silvery bell sounds rang out.
Lu Lin glanced back at the sound, his dark eyes instantly turning crimson.
The flickering candlelight illuminated her slender ankles, and a string of red ropes and small silver bells reflected a faint light, making a chaotic sound with Yan Heqing's movements.
Lu Lin turned around, biting Yan Heqing's earlobe with a bit of force, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, "Where did you learn that?"
Yan Heqing lifted his eyelids, a hint of red tinging the corners of his eyes. His reply was broken and fragmented by the sound of silver bells, "Online... online..."
Petals splashed up, this time obscuring Yan Heqing's eyes. His vision went from blurry to dark, and the only thing he could perceive was the warmth of their bodies touching.
The bathroom floor was covered in flower petals and water. The faucet kept adding warm water to the bathtub, but the water gradually cooled down until it was completely cold. Lu Lin then carried the person back to the bedroom.
The lights were off in the room, only the sheer curtains were drawn, and a faint light shone through them onto the bed; it was almost dawn.
Yan Heqing's back pressed against the soft down comforter. Just as Lu Lin was about to get Yan Heqing a set of pajamas, he was pulled back.
