Chapter 46: Bore it for Six Years

Translated by Fefe of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Tang Heng’s entire body tremored. “Do it?” he asked hoarsely.

Li Yuechi nodded. He got up and left the room, but he came back quickly. He turned and locked the door. There was a flat bottle in his hands—it looked like hand lotion. Tang Heng managed to push himself up and utter, “We…”

“Can we?” Li Yuechi had been standing by the bed, but now he bent one leg, pressing his knee against Tang Heng’s hand through the blanket. “Won’t keep it in anymore.”

Tang Heng gaped at him. He’d never been so nervous before. Was this real? It was so sudden that he couldn’t determine if this was real or not. Six years ago, they’d done this many times when they’d dated—countless times. They seemed to have had everything at that time. They were young enough, had enough time, and their bodies were like a never-ending feast that could accept any of the other’s requests. It was different now. Now, they had nothing.

Li Yuechi lowered his body, his eyes red. He didn’t say anything and just stared at Tang Heng like this. It only took a few seconds for Tang Heng to surrender. Even if this wasn’t real, even if it was a hallucination, he accepted it.

“Let’s do it,” Tang Heng whispered, almost inaudible. If this was a hallucination, he feared his voice would shatter it.

Li Yuechi nodded. He briskly took off his jacket and t-shirt. When his fingertips grazed the button of his jeans, he stopped and murmured, “Do you want to help me?”

 

…

 

Tears flowed out uncontrollably. He didn’t know if it was because it hurt too much, it felt too good, or some other reason. His body was an empty case, a damaged shell, but now, it was finally filled—anything was fine as long as it was from Li Yuechi. Fill him up.

Tang Heng didn’t know how long they fucked for, only that his lower body became numb after a while. His body was a puddle of water, mixed according to his wishes. In the end, Li Yuechi cradled him and murmured in his ears, “Together.”

They trembled together, tensed together, and exhaled together.

After finishing, they stayed the way they were, neither speaking. Li Yuechi’s stubble poked the hair on Tang Heng’s temples. After a few minutes, he caught Tang Heng’s lips and started kissing slowly. They hadn’t turned on the lights, while the sky outside the window darkened. The air was moist, probably about to rain soon.

“Do you believe it now?” Li Yuechi said.

“Huh?” Tang Heng asked.

“That this is real.”

“Yeah.”

He seemed to finally feel assured. Patting Tang Heng’s cheek, he asked, “Do you still feel unwell?”

“A little.”

“Where?”

“Itchy.” Tang Heng bit his chin. “Xuezhang, let’s do it again.”

Li Yuechi squinted at Tang Heng.

“Or are you tired?” Tang Heng whispered.

“You’re starting up again?”

“I’m serious.” Tang Heng touched Li Yuechi’s back. “Why are you so thin?”

“Doesn’t affect me fucking you.”

“…” That was true.

“We’ll stop for today.” Li Yuechi straightened up. “Your fever just went down.”

“Don’t go,” Tang Heng said hurriedly.

Li Yuechi lay back down, his arm slung over Tang Heng’s waist. “Okay, I won’t go.”       

“Can I smoke?”

“No.”

“Can we do it again tonight?”

Li Yuechi gave him a speechless look. He reached over to push Tang Heng’s fringe to the side and studied his face.

“You just can’t bear it?”

“Mn,” said Tang Heng.

“Be good and bear it. You can’t do it now.” After a pause, he added, “I bore it for six years.”
