Afterwards, the man made Ren Huan understand the importance of only speaking at the right time.

…Half an hour later, an exhausted Ren Huan was carried out of the small black alley in the man’s arms. The man’s forehead was covered in sweat, but his eyes were clear and his legs steady.

…another half an hour later, in a small hotel.

“Um, s-senior…”

Ren Huan was lying on a soft, white bed, covered with a soft quilt. He was red all over, and was anxiously holding onto the quilt.

“Why… why do you still want to…” His voice was a little out of tune. As he was turned over to lie on his back by the senior, he could feel a sharp pain, and groaned, scratching the man like a cat.

“I only did it with Xiao Huan once, how could that be enough?” 

Gu Sun (the senior) looked up, giving Ren Huan a worried glance.

“Um, Ming… Ming did it twice…”

Something wet licked him on the chest. The tickling sensation made Ren Huan twist and want to hide, but he was held on tightly by Gu Sun, his lips pressing on Ren Huan’s as he tried to scream. As he looked up, Gu Sun could enjoy Ren Huan’s embarrassed and shy look, which he found extremely cute.

But now was not the time to expose his true nature; Gu Sun frowned, easing his pressure on Ren Huan. Speaking in a low voice, he wore a melancholic and helpless expression. Such a good liar… meh, more of a weak person.

“But he and I are not the same person.”

It was a short sentence, but he was surprised to let himself say it so honestly and calmly… he paused for a while, still feeling light-headed, seconds flying quickly by.

In the depths of his heart, the man considered himself to be in the right. In fact, his words were mostly true. Apart from when one was sleeping, how could you not feel the emotions of your body, being able to but not willing to gain control. Furthermore, they were just two personalities within one soul, and they could live in harmony. He was only pretending to be pitiful and weak, as he could play that part very well.
