My Husband's Eyes Have Been Looking Different Lately After Our Marriage of Convenience - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: “Baby, can we go back to the hotel to count…”

They were so close that the heat from Lu Tingyun’s breath as he spoke puffed entirely into the depths of Song Ai’s collar.

It made him very itchy.

And to top it off, what Lu Tingyun said was “kiss.”

Song Ai’s ears flushed crimson on the spot. Fortunately, it was dark by now, and with his hair covering them, it wasn’t visible.

Seeing that he didn’t reply, Lu Tingyun rubbed the tip of his nose against the back of his neck, as if pressing for an answer.

People kept passing by them. Song Ai took a nervous step back, but was quickly pulled back by Lu Tingyun’s powerful arm. The man’s body had become scalding hot at some point, feeling burning even through their clothes.

Song Ai’s scalp felt a bit numb.

“You f***ing… you can’t kiss here even if you want to!”

Hearing this, Lu Tingyun let out a light laugh and suggested, “Then let’s go under that tree over there. There are fewer people.”

Song Ai followed his gaze and indeed saw a coconut tree not far away. When the fireworks started later, the view from that spot would likely be obstructed, so it made sense that fewer people were there. And with the tree as cover, under the dark sky and high wind, he figured no one would notice them kissing there…

Wait!

Song Ai suddenly snapped back to his senses.

Why was he already planning it out??

At this moment, one of Lu Tingyun’s hands had already slid down his arm, fingers parting to interlace with his palm. This person’s hand was also ridiculously hot.

“Going?” Lu Tingyun asked.

Song Ai felt his voice was a bit enchanting, because he almost misheard those words as “Doing?”

Seeing his spouse remain silent, Lu Tingyun took it as tacit consent. Holding his hand, he led him in the complete opposite direction of Li Shang and the others.

They walked against the crowd to a corner of the beach.

On the other side, Wang Ruijing and Li Shang were still trying hard to find them.

Li Shang was looking around almost 360 degrees. “…Dammit, weren’t they just there? How did they disappear in the blink of an eye!”

Wang Ruijing remained silent, his expression becoming increasingly grim. Actually, he had just seen the two of them shoulder to shoulder, at a distance so close he found it hard to believe. But it felt like a stinging pain, so he closed his eyes for a moment. Yet because of that instant of hesitation, he was unable to spot them again.

Lu Tingyun led Song Ai behind the coconut tree. With the trunk blocking them, hardly anyone noticed.

Listening to Lu Tingyun’s gradually quickening breath, Song Ai felt inexplicably nervous. Why was this so sneaky? It felt like they were in a secret high school romance. It was suffocating.

“Let’s forget it.” For the first time, Song Ai had the urge to retreat. His heart was nearly jumping out of his chest, and he couldn’t help but swallow, saying, “There are too many people here.”

How could Lu Tingyun bear to let him go? He scratched Song Ai’s palm twice as if flirting, his voice very low: “Don’t you think it’s very exciting?”

“You f***ing…” Song Ai was significantly shaken by this sentence, nearly biting his tongue. He asked fiercely, “Do you have some kind of special kink?”

Lu Tingyun chuckled, “I didn’t before.”

Song Ai: “?”

What did he mean by “didn’t before”? So he has one now??

However, the old Lu Tingyun indeed couldn’t have had any special kinks. Song Ai still remembered the first day he met him; a word had involuntarily surfaced in his mind—ice cube. It was a perfect description of Lu Tingyun back then. But who would have thought that this piece of perennial ice would one day melt and turn scalding hot for him.

The sound of people counting down together drifted into their ears.

Drones flew over the beach, their lights illuminating the lighthouse. A countdown appeared in the center of the tower, and the people chanted in unison… three, two, one.

Dozens of firework tubes were ignited at the same moment. In an instant, the entire night sky was torn into brilliant fragments. Cluster after cluster of golden-red fireballs hissed as they shot into the high sky, bursting with a boom the moment people looked up. Thousands of trails of fire poured down, instantly lighting up the earth and the sea.

Song Ai looked up. His amber pupils were reflected with bright, variegated light; countless colors flickered and danced in his eyes, beautiful as a world-famous painting.

Lu Tingyun was completely unable to look away. His throat tightened, but he still waited patiently. It wasn’t until Song Ai had finished admiring and turned his head toward him that he leaned down and kissed him.

Lips met. The sound of fireworks exploding and people cheering vanished in an instant. All that remained was the drum-like sound of each other’s heartbeats.

This time Lu Tingyun kissed very gently, like a dragonfly touching the water, but when he let go, there was a sense of not being fully satisfied. Thus, before Song Ai could regain his senses, he took his lips back into his mouth, his body constantly pressing closer.

Within moments, perhaps because Song Ai hadn’t put up any defense, the man’s tongue easily explored inside. This was their first time kissing outdoors. Song Ai didn’t dare make any big movements; even his responses were cautious, his tongue tip retreating quickly after the slightest touch. After several rounds of this entanglement, Lu Tingyun lost his patience. One hand pressed against the vertebrae of his back, while the other gripped his waist tightly, locking him firmly in his embrace with no room to retreat, and then savored him to his heart’s content.

After a few minutes, Lu Tingyun’s thigh gradually…

Song Ai was dizzy. He pushed the other person away to take a deep breath, but in this interval, he heard the man panting deeply: “Let’s go back to the hotel…”

At first, Song Ai didn’t understand why he suddenly felt shy and wanted to go back. After sensing… his lower abdomen tightened instantly. Before he could speak, the man’s lips covered his again.

The two continued their passionate kiss, but then the sound of someone approaching reached their ears.

“Baby, come here quickly, there’s no one here.”

“Oh my god, I’m so nervous. We won’t be seen, will we? My friends are still over there!”

“It’s so hidden here, there’s no way we’ll be found. Everyone’s watching the fireworks. Don’t worry, baby. I’ve missed you so much, let me give you a kiss, mwah~”

“Hey—are there two people over there…”

Hearing the last sentence, the two of them were so synchronized that without any hesitation, they ran away hand in hand.

After sprinting all the way to the asphalt road outside the beach, Song Ai finally let go of Lu Tingyun’s hand. Both of them were nearly exhausted.

Lu Tingyun recovered faster than him. Staring at Song Ai’s heaving chest and slightly parted mouth, he felt his throat go dry.

Song Ai was oblivious, only realizing afterward—why did they run out? There were so many people; would they be able to squeeze back in later? While he was busy judging the possibilities, a tall shadow had already covered him.

“Are we going to wait here?” Lu Tingyun asked him, “Or… go back and wait?”

Song Ai looked up, meeting Lu Tingyun’s gaze, which was still filled with lingering passion. It was frighteningly full of desire.

“You…”

Before he could finish, Lu Tingyun had already pressed closer again.

“I didn’t get enough of a kiss just now.” Lu Tingyun raised his hand to cup his jaw, his thumb brushing the corner of his mouth as he asked, “Baby, can we go back to the hotel to continue kissing?”

Hearing this pet name, Song Ai’s pupils nearly suffered an earthquake.

Lu Tingyun saw his shock and explained, “I just heard that couple calling each other that… you don’t like it?”

Goosebumps rose all over Song Ai’s body. He immediately shook his head. “I don’t like it. You’re not allowed to call me that from now on.”

Lu Tingyun stared at him in silence for a while, then nodded obediently. Then he asked again, “Then are we going back to kiss?”

Song Ai: “…”

Originally, Song Ai hadn’t planned on going back, but after being in the sea breeze for a while, he regretted it. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts today. When he left in the morning, the outdoor temperature was quite suitable and he didn’t feel cold at all. But now that the sun had set and the sea breeze was blowing, being on the exposed roadside, he started shivering uncontrollably before long.

Eventually, he couldn’t hold out anymore. Before Lu Tingyun could take off his top to wrap it around his head, Song Ai started walking toward the car.

This beach wasn’t far from the hotel. The coupe took only about ten minutes at high speed.

Once they entered the underground garage, Song Ai felt his body warm up much more. He turned off the engine and was about to ask Lu Tingyun where he rented the car and if it needed to be returned today, when he was scorched by the other’s burning gaze. He suddenly realized that coming back didn’t seem like a “correct” choice either.

Song Ai retracted his gaze and jumped out of the car quickly. Lu Tingyun followed.

The two entered the elevator one after the other. Just as the door was about to close, another couple squeezed in. Unlike the thief-like couple from before, this pair was obviously much more open. They didn’t even wait for the elevator door to close again, nor did they care that two people were standing beside them; the moment they were steady, they immediately embraced and kissed. In the cramped space, there was nothing but the sound of their tongues intertwining.

Song Ai: “…………”

Fortunately, they didn’t have to watch the whole thing. The couple got off halfway, though their mouths never separated. After the door closed, the enclosed space fell into complete silence. Only the temperature kept rising.

Back in the room, the first thing Song Ai did was hurriedly look for clothes to take a shower. He hadn’t sweated much outside, but ever since witnessing that couple’s passionate kiss in the elevator, his sweat glands had been working frantically like they were on steroids, making him feel stifled.

Quickly finding a set of clean clothes, Song Ai turned and walked into the bathroom. But the moment he tried to close the door, a large hand grabbed the edge.

Not hearing the expected “thud,” Song Ai turned around and met Lu Tingyun’s dark, moist eyes.

“Can we shower together?” he said.

Song Ai’s face instantly turned red. Because he had moved too fast and already taken off his shirt!

Sure enough, the moment the man’s gaze touched him, the air became scorching. Before he could speak, Lu Tingyun had already walked up to him and pinned him against the wall. The flame that had just died down was instantly reignited.

The two of them, like the couple they had just encountered, began to kiss passionately. Unknowingly, Song Ai’s waistband was pulled open. Before he could react, the person in front of him had already knelt down.

The young man instinctively raised his hand to cover himself, but heard the man say, “I’ll help you.”

Song Ai’s eyes widened. Then he once again remembered what that British gay guy had said. Besides that previous sentence, there was actually another one. His first reaction was shame and embarrassment, but beneath that, he couldn’t help but feel a faint, hidden anticipation. …That was already pleasurable enough; what would this feel like?

The more he thought, the redder Song Ai’s face became. By the end, his neck, collarbone, and the tips of his ears were all flushed red. Enveloped by his snow-white skin, it was as vivid and eye-catching as red plum blossoms blooming in a world of ice and snow.

In the end, nothing was stopped…

…

Lu Tingyun originally only said he would help him with his mouth. After cleaning up, he couldn’t help but carry him to the bed. Because they had a formal relationship, Song Ai wasn’t as repulsed or awkward as before. Plus, having been served very well in the bathroom, he didn’t struggle after being carried to the bed. In the depths of passion, he even proactively bit Lu Tingyun’s shoulder. As a result, the other person was stimulated by that bite… in short, the bed swayed and shook exceptionally violently.

Song Ai tried hard to refrain from looking at the ceiling, but later his head became more and more dazed. In a trance, he still glanced up. In the massive mirror, he saw an indescribable scene…

…

More than three hours passed before the two finally rested. The firework show far outside the window had long since ended, and peace reigned inside and outside the room.

Until an abrupt ringtone sounded.

Song Ai had already fallen asleep but was instantly woken up. He groggily fumbled for his phone; the display showed a call from “Loudmouth Li.”

Ah… he forgot about those two!

Song Ai sat up guiltily and immediately answered. He originally thought Li Shang was calling to scold him for being unfaithful and coming back without a word. He was thinking of how to phrase an apology.

Instead, he heard the person on the phone say in a trembling voice:

“Ai, Ai-ge, Old Wang’s mother… has passed away.”
