Chapter 104
Mu Cai was forcefully given handcuffs and a small whip by Li Yu, but he felt that these two things were extremely hot. This disobedient little lover was still holding him, calling him master in his ear in a hoarse voice, begging him for... love and punishment. The other party's soft lips searched for Mu Cai's neck, and his whole body rubbed against him.
Mu Cai was so irritated that, in a dazed state, he actually agreed to the other party's request.
He very shyly tied a pair of handcuffs on each of Li Yu's hands. The other party had taken off his clothes a long time ago, knelt on the ground without any guidance, raised his head, and stared at him with blazing eyes.
Despite the original plot suggesting that he was the one with a penchant for ‘S’, it now seemed as if Li Yu was even more eager than him.
Mu Cai held the small leather whip, his hand trembling gently. Having no experience in this sort of thing, he could only lightly whip it a couple of times over the clear musculature and smooth contours of the other's body.
He was afraid of hurting Li Yu, thus he exerted little force.
To Li Yu, this was akin to tickling, not painful in the least, but rather itchy; especially because the tip of the custom-made whip sported some fuzzy feathers. That's not all, due to Mu Cai’s inexperience, he didn't control the force well; the whip's end frequently slipped, brushing uncontrollably past certain parts of his body.
In just a few minutes, what Li Yu thought was supposed to be a non-professional ticklish process turned into a kind of different torment altogether.
Especially since the tormentor was Mu Cai.
The individual standing opposite blushes, their slender eyelashes trembling under the intense gaze, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly. Eyes that shine like morning stars hide beneath those lashes, radiating a soft, water-like shimmer. The chastely red lips gently bitten, coupled with a shy expression, give the impression that they were the one being disciplined.
A mere two looks from Li Yu were enough to make him swallow.
He initially remained silent. However, when Mu Cai's whip inadvertently grazed his waist again, Li Yu could no longer contain himself. He spoke up, his voice betraying his unsteadiness, "Master, Master, I can't hold back anymore."
Mu Cai had no interest in this kind of thing. As soon as he heard the other's words, he quickly dropped the whip. He thought he had accidentally injured Li Yu and quickly moved to release him from his restraints. As he did so, he anxiously asked, "Are you okay? Did I hurt you? Where are you injured, do you need any medicine? I told you I didn't agree with this in the first place, but you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt himself being lifted into the air. At the same time, a silvery ring fell to the ground with a clattering noise.
After a moment of dizziness, Mu Cai found himself dumped onto a soft mattress.
Before he could react, a warm body pinned him down. Mu Cai felt his earlobe being nibbled on. A hoarse, deep voice spoke into his ear, "Master, I'm injured."
Upon hearing this, Mu Cai didn't even have time to blush, his face filled with concern. He reached out to touch Li Yu and asked anxiously, "Where are you injured?"
However, the moment his hand reached out, it was caught and then gently kissed by the other person.
Li Yu, who already had the outline of a grown man, tightly held Mu Cai. His dark eyes were like a deep well, seemingly trying to pull people in, seductively saying, "The injured area feels uncomfortable. I'm afraid only the master can heal it properly."
Saying this, he pressed a little.
Mu Cai was instantly left speechless.
Then…
When he woke up the next morning, the first thing Mu Cai did was cover his own face.
Oh my God, what in the world prompted him to agree to such foolish acts with Li Yu the previous night!
Mu Cai didn't object to a couple doing things that lovers typically do.
However, how did he end up getting involved in this game with Li Yu! Moreover, it was an unusually strange game…
Whenever Mu Cai thought about how Li Yu was whispering "master" in his ear all night, even asking if he was doing good, his face would flush with embarrassment.
While he was trying his best to calm down, the bedroom door gently opened.
A fluffy head with somewhat disheveled hair peeked in. Upon seeing Mu Cai awake, Li Yu made no effort to hide himself. He boldly walked into the room, holding a cup of water in his hand, a smile on his face, and his voice gentle, "Cai Cai, you're awake? Come drink some water."
Mu Cai, having experienced last night's event with Li Yu, was red-faced and a bit awkward. But seeing Li Yu's natural demeanor and the cup of water in his hand for him, he tried to calm himself and accept it as naturally as possible, saying, "Thank you."
He took the cup from him. The water in it was warm and slightly hot, perfect for drinking and timely in quenching Mu Cai's early morning thirst. After downing it in one go, he set the cup down and felt a gentle touch on his forehead.
Li Yu then stepped back, took the cup from Mu Cai who was somewhat stunned, and his ears turned slightly red, "That was a good morning kiss for Cai Cai. Did you like it?"
Mu Cai's face turned slightly red, but he still nodded, "Mmm."
As preposterous as it was, it wasn't harmful after all. As a romantic interest between a young couple, it was actually quite nice.
Mu Cai tried to convince himself.
His soft voice, coupled with Li Yu's soft black hair, drooped eyelids, slightly flushed cheeks, and lightly gripped fingers, all made Li Yu's heart flutter. Watching Mu Cai nestled in the soft bed, Li Yu's gaze softened along, "I've made breakfast already. Get up and eat."
Mu Cai responded again, ready to get out of bed, when suddenly two arms reached over, one to the left and one to the right, pinning down the blanket and practically trapping both his legs. He lifted his head in confusion and saw Li Yu sitting on the bed, leaning forward, almost lying on his legs and looking at him with dark eyes, "Can Cai Cai also give me a good morning kiss?"
The tone of Li Yu's voice was very calm, and the pitch was his usual gentle one. But Mu Cai knew that the fingers of Li Yu were about to tear the blanket around his legs.
He noticed this small detail and felt inexplicably relaxed.
It seems he was not the only one who felt nervous.
Upon this realization, Mu Cai couldn't help but cracked a smile, "Okay."
With that, he cupped Li Yu's face and left a kiss on his forehead.
Li Yu was both amused and touched.
Mu Cai's way of expressing affection was somewhat childlike. Although not the passionate kind Li Yu had imagined, it was undeniably adorable and equally heart-stirring.
With that thought, Li Yu held the hand Mu Cai was using to hold his face. Mu Cai's hand felt cold compared to his, so Li Yu warmed it while smiling and repeating his earlier invitation, "I've already prepared breakfast, let's get up and eat."
At these words, Mu Cai nodded.
He got up and dressed, while Li Yu went to the kitchen to serve the century egg and lean meat porridge that had been simmering in the clay pot. There were also buns and side dishes. Mu Cai's kitchen was basically for display as there was hardly anything edible in the refrigerator, except for yogurt and some snacks. Aside from the buns that Li Yu had just bought, everything else was brought from the supermarket the day before when Li Yu and Mu Cai went shopping together.
At that time, Li Yu had deliberately bought a lot of ingredients, enough for several days, hoping to be able to cook for Mu Cai more in the future. Looking at Mu Cai's reaction today, he felt that his wish could probably become a reality.
The two sat down at the dining table and began to have their meal.
The century egg and lean meat porridge was well-cooked, full of flavor without being overly thick. Mu Cai ate with great satisfaction, so much so that his eyes were squinted with pleasure, like a cat who has had its fill of food.
Witnessing this, Li Yu finally decided to voice the thought that had been revolving in his mind, "Cai Cai, is it delicious?"
Biting on his spoon with cheeks puffed, Mu Cai immediately responded, "Delicious!"
Seeing his reaction brought a smile to Li Yu's face, who continued to probe, "Then, can I cook for you every day?"
Mu Cai paused for a moment, lifting his eyelids to look at Li Yu.
This immediately made Li Yu nervous, feeling like a devoted believer waiting for the divine decree, with his joys and sorrows entirely in the hands of Mu Cai.
Of course, Mu Cai had guessed the other's thought. He put down the spoon, looking at Li Yu, "You have classes every day, and you also have to work part-time at the company. Will you have enough time for morning commute?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu was overjoyed!
This meant that Mu Cai had agreed! Agreed to live together!
Being able to live together with Mu Cai, even if the sky were falling, Li Yu would find a way to crawl through, and be with him, let alone for a short commuting time in the morning. He immediately nodded, "Yes, it's enough. Although the school is not as centered as the company, its location is not inconvenient either. I can simply take the subway in the morning."
Even though the subway exit might be slightly far from the school, possibly requiring a walk of over ten minutes. He could make a daily run back and forth, considering it as a form of exercise.
Li Yu had imagined the scenario of living together with Mu Cai countless times in his mind. Issues like commuting had long been taken into account.
Mu Cai nodded and thought for a moment, then said, "What time do you usually finish classes in the afternoon? I'll come pick you up."
Li Yu couldn't help his excitement as he quickly replied, "Six o'clock. But recently, every Tuesday and Thursday night I have to stay at school a little longer, and I'm likely to go to school on weekends too. I am preparing to participate in the ACM contest, I just passed the school contest yesterday morning and entered the school team. The teachers will be giving us classes and training."
Li Yu had originally planned to tell Mu Cai about this yesterday. However, due to the unexpected pleasant surprise that happened, he felt that joining the school team was not worth celebrating anymore. Even in the current situation, he was somewhat regretful about joining the team. Although participating in the competition is the first step for him to seize the future with Mu Cai, cutting back on the opportunities to meet during their lovey-dovey phase naturally made him feel frustrated.
However, Mu Cai was pleasantly surprised, "Really? You're amazing! Keep it up!"
Although he wasn't particularly knowledgeable about the specifics of the ACM competition, according to the original story's narrative, the gold level of this competition wasn't something ordinary people could participate in. Now that Li Yu was able to join the school team and have the opportunity to represent the school in this competition, he must be very talented!
Given this, Mu Cai decided to help him even more. He'd stock up on delicious food in the fridge, and Li Yu wouldn't need to spend his weekends working overtime at the company - Mu Cai would take care of his school commute.
The person sitting opposite him was bathed in the morning sunlight streaming in from the window, making his soft black hair shine golden. There was an unfeigned smile in his eyes as they sparkled at Li Yu, making him feel that he truly was as amazing as Mu Cai described.
Li Yu’s ears turned a slight red, and he finally responded, “Alright!”
________________________
Recently, the project team members at Galen Technology discovered that their boss seemed to be more radiant than before.
The boss was originally breathtakingly handsome, his smile alone could take their breath away. But now, perhaps nourished by love, he was filled with vitality and his allure had increased. In just a week, the employees were finding it hard to resist his charm.
Fortunately, the boss was a serious person who never joked around, even his off-duty hours were earlier than usual. As long as the project team members controlled themselves from glancing at the boss too often during work hours, they could continue to complete tasks efficiently, striving to avoid overtime.
However, Li Yu who would normally intern at the company over the weekend hadn't been coming in. Were it not for him still completing tasks assigned by the project team on time, the employees would've thought that he had stopped working thanks to the generosity of the boss. It was the boss who clarified to them that Li Yu was representing his school in the ACM competition and would be training at school over the weekends.
The project team members, all with computer science backgrounds, obviously understood the quality of the ACM competition better than Mu Cai. Many of them had encountered this competition to varying degrees in the past. Hearing that one of their colleagues, a first-year student, had been selected for the school team, they immediately felt a sense of pride. The team members even discussed reducing Li Yu's workload to help him focus on preparing for the competition, which would bring honor to them all.
The entire company was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
Except for Lin Xingchen.
He discreetly glanced through Mu Cai's slightly open collar and noticed a hidden mark a little lower, his face turning gloomy.
After work, when everyone else had left and Mu Cai had gone to pick up Li Yu from school early, Lin Xingchen called his immediate superior once again. He took a deep breath and reported the situation as soon as the call connected.
A deep and steady male voice came from the phone, "Assistant Lin, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to report on Cai Cai's love life."
Lin Xingchen was startled.
Indeed, he would report any new relationship of Mu Cai's to Mu Hong as soon as it began. However, prior to the end of that relationship, he wouldn't reveal any further information unless Mu Hong contacted him. He was aware of his boss's temperament; Mu Hong only wanted to know what he was interested in and wouldn't bother with trivial matters.
This time, however, Lin Xingchen had indeed acted impulsively. With just one extra phone call, he had exposed his intentions to Mr. Mu.
Lin Xingchen calmly said, "Mr. Mu, I..."
However, the voice on the other end of the phone didn't give him a chance to continue, "I am aware of Cai Cai's situation. He is our family treasure, and I would never allow just anyone to enter our family and have a chance to harm him. That's why I need your help to watch over him. But I, Mu Hong, won't be the kind of person who meddles in someone else's life without reason. I expect you, Assistant Lin, to understand this."
Cold sweat formed on Lin Xingchen's back, and he had no choice but to suppress his emotions and say, "Yes, Mr. Mu, I understand."
