It's San San, it's his San San! He could recognize San San even with his eyes closed!
Seeing San San all alone and helpless, and knowing that he had abandoned his family and clan and cut off all his escape routes to come here without hesitation, Chen Yunqi knew that he was prepared to give his whole life to him. A surge of emotion welled up in his heart, and he ran towards him without stopping.
Before he even got close, his arms were already open. Chen Yunqi suddenly pounced on San San from behind, ignoring the people around them, turned him around, lifted him high in his arms, and kissed him fiercely.
San San was startled at first, and before he could struggle, he was tightly embraced. The familiar scent and passionate kiss made him recognize almost instantly that the person in front of him was the one he was looking for. He hugged Chen Yunqi back tightly, responding to his kiss, and choked out in his ear, "Brother, I've found you!"
"My dear San San, my San San..." Chen Yunqi held him tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to use all his strength to protect him and never let him go again, and kept whispering, "...You found me, you are so amazing, you are the bravest San San in the world, my beloved San San..."
The person in his arms was almost skin and bones. Chen Yunqi carefully put San San down, cupped his face and looked at him again and again, kissed the faint scars on his lips with heartache, and said to him in a slightly trembling voice:
"San San, you're home."
A note from the author:
--- To allow Teacher Chen and San San to meet as soon as possible, the original one year in the outline has been reduced to three months, and the amount of work from two chapters has been combined into one chapter. So please accept my love! However, the promised "car" (a type of romantic scene) can't be done today. I wrote too many words and I'm too tired. I'm afraid I'll collapse if I don't sleep soon. I'll rest and recharge when I wake up! I'm really sorry! Thank you for every click! My birthday is the happiest when I have you all!
Chapter Sixty-Four: The Bride
After finishing her shift handover with her colleagues, Xiao Yang, the assistant duty officer at the South Railway Station, walked briskly into the subway station. Once on the subway, she listlessly opened the Douyin (TikTok) app and began browsing recommended videos with little interest. After scrolling for a few seconds, she saw a video with the caption, "I found a truly divine couple at the train station today!" Upon closer inspection, she realized the sharing address was right at her workplace, the South Railway Station. Unable to resist, she pressed play, ignoring data usage warnings, and put on her headphones to watch intently.
The video is set in front of the passenger center in the exit hall of the South Railway Station. A tall, handsome young man is passionately kissing a boy much shorter than him. The person recording the video is a girl, whose undisguised excitement can be heard from the background, ranging from low screams to incoherent exclamations: "Oh my god! So handsome! They're both so handsome! This is the first time I've ever seen a real-life couple! They're so much better looking than anime characters! So sweet!"
The video was only one minute long. Throughout the entire process, the two seemed oblivious to all the strange looks and whispers around them, as if they only had eyes for each other. The tall young man, with his back to the camera, leaned down and pressed his forehead against the boy's, cupping his face and repeatedly kissing his lips and eyes. He was so tall that he almost completely blocked the boy's view, only revealing the boy's red-rimmed eyes and tear-streaked face. He held the other's arms tightly with both hands, responding to the kisses while speaking to him. Although it was difficult to hear clearly from a distance, it was obvious to anyone that this was a couple who were either about to separate or had been reunited after a long separation.
Xiao Yang's eyes widened. In less than ten seconds, she recognized the somewhat familiar figure as the young man who had barged into the office that morning, demanding an announcement to find someone. She was stunned. She repeatedly watched the video, recalling his words. She vaguely remembered that the person he was looking for was named San San? And that he had found a childhood sweetheart from his hometown? The kind where the betrothal gifts had already been exchanged? Looking at the video, which had over ten thousand likes and comments, she suddenly felt like she had unknowingly become a participant in some extraordinary event. So she double-tap the screen and liked the viral video.
Chen Yunqi, the male protagonist in the video, is completely unaware of his sudden fame. He grips the steering wheel with one hand and holds onto San San, who sits in the passenger seat, with the other, refusing to let go for a moment, even using his left hand to shift into neutral at traffic lights. Since leaving the train station, he still feels a sense of unreality, fearing this is all a drunken dream, as if loosening his grip even slightly would dramatically erase the happiness he holds, jolting him awake from the dream and plunging him back into reality.
They held hands the whole way, not uttering a word, only occasionally gazing deeply into each other's eyes, their smiles conveying reassurance. Upon arriving at the parking lot, Chen Yunqi quickly turned off the engine and got out of the car. He went around to the other side to open the door for San San, reaching out to help her out, looking every bit like a groom leading his naive bride home.
To hide his inexplicable nervousness, Chen Yunqi solemnly introduced the elevator to San San as soon as they entered, saying, "This is the elevator."
"Our apartment is on the 21st floor. This building has 32 floors in total, and the occupancy rate is 100%. The property management is quite good; they hold lucky draws for residents during holidays, but I've never participated. I don't know any of my neighbors... This elevator is a bit stuffier than the one next door; we'll take the one next door next time..."
As they were talking, the elevator reached the twenty-first floor. Chen Yunqi took out his key, inserted it into the lock, and turned to San San while turning the doorknob, saying, "We're home. This door is easy to open. There's only one key, so it's not cumbersome to carry around. Just turn it two turns to the left like this."
He pushed open the door and entered the house. He bent down and rummaged through the shoe cabinet, finding a pair of Yu Xiaosong's khaki cotton slippers. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up his own pair and placed them next to San San's feet. He then stuffed the slippers back into the deepest part of the shoe cabinet, straightened up, and said again, "Okay, um... this is our house. You... want to take a look around? The house isn't big... three bedrooms and two living rooms... there's a parking space... the property certificate is in my name... the property rights are about 70 years... it's more than enough for me to live alone, but if you think it's too small, we can move to a bigger one later... um... I don't usually cook... it's quite clean... I usually clean myself... we can also hire a cleaning lady later... I think there's a housekeeping app with good reviews, yes, I'll download it and try it now..."
He actually took out his phone and opened the app store to search.
San San was also very nervous because of him. He was already a little awkward and didn't know how to deal with everything that was both unfamiliar and new. He was worried that Chen Yunqi would dislike his silly appearance, so he could only keep his head down and respond with a few words here and there.
Upon arriving, he initially thought he was the only one nervous. However, seeing Chen Yunqi's unusually talkative manner, he suddenly realized that the true master of the house was actually much more nervous than he was. San San finally sensed Chen Yunqi's seriousness and cautiousness towards him—this gentle and meticulous man didn't place himself in the position of host, but rather played a humble role, anxiously probing his preferences and feelings, and understanding his helplessness and unease. Chen Yunqi seemed to be simply fulfilling his duties as host, but in reality, he was extending an invitation to San San to spend the rest of his life together through the most unpretentious words and actions, inviting him into his world and sharing everything with him.
San San's heart suddenly warmed, and he buried his face in Chen Yunqi's chest, causing him to stumble backward half a step, finally stopping his endless rambling. He murmured against Chen Yunqi's chest, "Brother, I'll do anything, as long as I'm with you. I can't go back, please don't abandon me, I'll do anything..."
Chen Yunqi stood there stunned by his words, and after a long while, he raised his arms to hug San San, whispering, "I really can't believe it... I can't believe I'll see you again, hold you... I thought I had lost you... It feels like a dream..."
“In this life, only you will not want me, and I will never not want you,” he buried his head in San San’s ear, greedily inhaling the familiar scent in his hair, and said emotionally, “I said that I have taken the liberty of taking root and sprouting in your heart. Even if you cruelly cut me down, as long as I am not uprooted, I will grow back and flourish again, remember?”
San San looked up at him with teary eyes and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I told you to leave and never see me again, which made you sad... I didn't mean to... Please forgive me..."
Chen Yunqi raised his hand and pressed his head back into his arms, laughing as he said, "Don't you remember? I told you I wouldn't blame you no matter what you do, don't be silly."
“Thank you, San San,” after a heartfelt exchange, Chen Yunqi finally regained his sense of reality and felt truly at ease. He gently stroked the back of San San’s head and said affectionately, “Thank you for your courage, thank you for being willing to come back to me. Don’t be afraid, from now on I’m here. I will protect you and take good care of you. If you want to stay here, we will stay here. Wherever you want to go, I will go with you. Wherever you are is my home, and I don’t care about anything else.”
“Me too, I’ll be wherever you are, I’m your little tail,” San San rubbed her eyes, hugged Chen Yunqi’s waist and leaned against him, whispering.
The tense atmosphere finally subsided. Chen Yunqi, concerned that San San hadn't eaten yet, settled him on the sofa to rest. He then went to the kitchen and searched around, only to find that there was absolutely nothing to eat. A little embarrassed, he stood at the kitchen doorway and said to San San, "I've only been back a few days, and I haven't had time to buy anything. I can't cook, so how about I order you some takeout?"
San San suppressed a laugh and looked at him, asking, "So you can cook just because you have vegetables?"
Chen Yunqi, who had been exposed, was visibly stunned for a moment, then dropped his previous cautious demeanor and deliberately put on a stern face, saying, "No, alright. Just laugh at me."
San San smiled, pursing her lips. Chen Yunqi pretended to be annoyed and turned away, taking out his phone to find the best-rated Cantonese restaurant. He ordered five dishes in one go: steamed mandarin fish, scrambled eggs with shrimp, roast goose, braised pork belly with fish maw, and garlic sprouts in broth, plus a serving of lotus root with osmanthus, a serving of mango pomelo sago, and two servings of white rice. Then, satisfied, he returned to the sofa and said to San San, "I've ordered. Do you want to take a shower first? You can eat comfortably afterward."
Having been on the train for so long, San San was really looking forward to taking a good shower. Hearing this, he nodded and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything, not even a change of clothes..."
Chen Yunqi leaned down, placed his hands on the sofa beside him, and said with a mischievous smile, "Don't worry, wear mine first, we'll go shopping together tomorrow, and buy whatever we need. So what if you don't have a dowry? It's okay, I approve of you making up for it in other ways."
San San's face instantly turned red. He stepped back slightly to avoid Chen Yunqi's overwhelming aura and pouted, saying, "Your clothes are all so big. They look like skirts on me."
Chen Yunqi pressed closer and said, "Then... how about we not wear it?"
At this moment, they finally rediscovered the feeling of being deeply in love, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed after they started joking around. San San blushed and pushed Chen Yunqi away, standing up as if to run away, but finding herself unsure where to go, she retreated back to his side, lowering her head and asking, "Where's the bathroom?"
Chen Yunqi looked at San San, who seemed completely under his thumb, and felt a surge of satisfaction. He took San San's hand and led him into the bathroom, found a clean towel and placed it on the shelf, turned on the tap, adjusted the water temperature, closed the door, and said to San San, "Shall I help you wash?"
Steam slid down the cold white tiled walls, leaving streaks of water. In the bathtub, San San sat obediently with his knees drawn up, his body flushed and pale from the steam, tiny beads of sweat glistening on his forehead. Chen Yunqi sat on the edge of the tub, using a natural seaweed sponge soaked in shower gel to wash San San's back and chest, knowing he was a clean freak, he even carefully rubbed between his fingers.
San San was incredibly thin, his ribs and spine faintly visible beneath his skin. Chen Yunqi couldn't imagine how much suffering and injustice he had endured over the past three months. The deep and shallow wounds hadn't completely faded, and soaking them in hot water only made them appear even redder. His heart ached with indescribable pain, and his movements were as gentle as could be, as if the slightest force would cause the slender boy to fall apart.
San San was exhausted. Finally free from all his worries, he relaxed and lay down on the edge of the bathtub, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. Chen Yunqi was worried that he might have low blood sugar, so he didn't let him soak for too long. He took a towel and gently dried his hair, softly waking him up and saying, "Baby? Wake up, let's go eat after you've finished washing."
San San was indeed feeling a bit dizzy. He mumbled a "hmm" and climbed out of the bathtub, clinging to Chen Yunqi's outstretched arm. He stepped out of the bathroom, soaking wet, and waited obediently to the side. Chen Yunqi turned around to unfold a towel to wrap him up, but was suddenly caught off guard when San San hugged him from behind.
Chen Yunqi turned his head and looked at San San, who was completely naked behind him, in the mirror. His red lips and fair skin made his heart flutter. San San's shirt was damp from the water clinging to his skin. Touching San San's slender arms wrapped around his waist, Chen Yunqi couldn't bear to tease him. He suppressed his agitation and gently asked, "Baby? What's wrong?"
San San lay limply on Chen Yunqi's back, drowsily saying, "I miss you so much... Do you miss me... I want you."
The soft voice pressed against his back, tickling his sensitive spot, making Chen Yunqi's whole body go numb and his legs go weak, instantly arousing him. He turned around, picked up San San, and gently placed him on the sink counter. He bent his knees, spread San San's legs, and stood in front of him, holding his chin so he looked up at him. He said breathlessly, "Let's eat first, okay? Don't go hungry. I'll take good care of you after you've eaten, okay?"
San San's hazy eyes were as alluring as if he had taken an aphrodisiac. He reached out and wrapped his arms around Chen Yunqi's neck, pressing his lips to his and whispering, "I can't wait any longer, brother, I've missed you so much. You haven't touched me for three months, don't you miss me?"
Chen Yunqi's breathing grew heavier and heavier as he was teased by him. His hands involuntarily grasped the ankles of the man wrapped around his waist, stroking up his calves and lingering on his lower back, caressing his smooth skin. He forced himself to say, "I miss you, I really miss you."
This wasn't the first time San San had taken the initiative, but it was the first time he had acted like a completely different person. The joy of regaining what he had lost and the liberation of being freed from constraints made him feel incredibly relaxed, and the pent-up desires in his heart were released uncontrollably.
He grasped Chen Yunqi's hand, which was resting on his lower back, and guided it to his crotch, wanting him to feel his arousal. Chen Yunqi gently stroked him while whispering, "Is this how you think of me, baby, when I'm not around?"
San San let out a soft moan of pleasure, nestled against his shoulder, and breathed warmly into his ear, saying, "Yes, I think of you like this every night. The more I think of you, the more uncomfortable I feel, and the more uncomfortable I feel, the more I miss you. When I can't bear the longing, I have to take care of myself, but I'm not comfortable at all. Brother... have pity on me..."
Chen Yunqi couldn't bear it any longer. He withdrew his hand, stepped back slightly, sighed, and lowered his head again, saying guiltily, "San San, I feel terrible. I made you suffer so much, and I didn't keep my promise to take you away. Instead, you came to me without hesitation. I feel so guilty. You're too thin. I just want to take good care of you and help you get back to how you were before. I really... can't bear it, and I have no face to bully you."
San San looked at him with a somewhat confused expression. After he finished speaking, she reached out and hooked his collar, pulling him back to her. She unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time, pushing open his collar to reveal his muscular chest and abdomen. She stroked it affectionately and said, "What are you saying? I don't understand. Brother... I'm not afraid of hardship or suffering. I just miss you so much. I really... really thought I would never see you again. Please, have some pity on me, let me taste that feeling again, let me truly feel your love again..."
San San's words couldn't have been more blunt, and Chen Yunqi finally understood that the source of his unease lay in his anxiety about himself and everything before him. His body might feel tired and hungry, but his heart was even more terrifyingly empty and lonely. That was why he was so eager to find a sense of reality and fulfillment within himself.
What could be more important than filling the heart and soul of your beloved? Chen Yunqi watched as he took off his shirt, and looking into his eyes, which were as wet as a little wild animal's, he could only involuntarily pick him up and say gently, "I know, baby, shall we go to the room? You're too thin, the bed is soft, and it won't hurt if you lie down."
Chapter Sixty-Five: The Proposal
The air conditioning was still on in the room. Chen Yunqi was worried that San San would catch a cold, so he wrapped him up in a large bath towel and carried him back to the bedroom.
The afternoon sun shone through the thin curtains onto the bedding, and the light gray sheets, freshly changed that morning, exuded a clean, fresh scent. Chen Yunqi gently placed San San on the bed, stood shirtless by the bedside, and said softly, "Wait for me."
San San didn't yet understand what "slim when dressed, muscular when undressed" meant. All she saw in the soft light was Chen Yunqi's strong arms, muscular chest, and clearly defined V-lines, all laid bare. He was wearing trousers, the waistband loosely tied around his waist, revealing a row of defined yet subtle abs. He exuded a strong aura of masculinity, a gentle smile on his face—mature, sexy, and utterly captivating.
San San was completely captivated by his handsome appearance and his passionate yet domineering aura. A mere glance from him made her blush, her heart race, and her legs go weak. She collapsed naked onto the soft, fluffy blankets, covering her secretly erect member, and gazed at Chen Yunqi intently, asking, "Where are you going...don't go..."
Chen Yunqi smiled and bent down to cover him with the blanket, then reached in to gently massage his plump buttocks, the only part of his body that still had some flesh, and coaxed him softly, "Be a good boy and wait for me, I'll be right back."
After saying that, he got up and left the bedroom. A little while later, he returned to the bedside with a glass of milk, sat down, helped San San up, hugged him, and fed him the milk little by little.
San San stopped catching her breath halfway through her drink, looked up at him with milk stains on her lips, and asked, "Did you put sugar in it? It's so sweet."
Chen Yunqi pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but brought the cup to his lips again, gesturing for him to finish it. After drinking a glass of milk, San San's complexion improved noticeably. Chen Yunqi put down the cup, gently laid San San back on the bed, rolled over, and kissed him.
The moment their lips met, a sweet taste filled their mouths. Chen Yunqi pushed a piece of candy he was holding into San San's mouth, and San San blinked her big eyes, curiously savoring it and asking, "What is it? It smells so good and is so sweet. I've never had it before."
Chen Yunqi then spoke with a smile, "What could be sweeter than you? It's peach flavored, do you like it? It'll give you some sugar, so you don't faint later."
San San nodded happily, swirling the candy in her mouth with her bright red, soft tongue. Then, suddenly remembering how she always seemed to lose her senses after being teased by him, she said with a mixture of shame and annoyance, "You're just bullying me! I won't faint, I have plenty of stamina."
Chen Yunqi looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Really? It seems that little San San has grown a lot in the past few months." He suddenly leaned close to San San's ear and said mysteriously, "But you can touch it and see how hard it is now. You'll cry as much as it does later. If you don't believe me, we can try it."
In the height of summer, peaches ripen, their enticing aromas awaiting those who will peel and savor them. The candy, sweet and juicy, melts in their mouths, passing between them with a wet kiss. Playful San San seems to be playing a game with Chen Yunqi, sometimes deliberately pushing him away, sometimes hooking her arms around his neck and pulling him back, teasingly pushing the candy back and forth with her soft moans, leaving their lips sticky, red, and glistening with desire.
He parted his lips slightly, his breath sweet and fragrant, and said, "Brother...please take me..."
Chen Yunqi did not respond. He lay on his side and turned San San over so that he was lying face down on the pillow. He lifted the blanket and gently stroked San San's smooth, fair back.
The varying depths of the marks on his back stung Chen Yunqi's eyes. He said he wanted San San to cry, but in reality, his heart ached, and he couldn't bear to see him suffer even the slightest harm. He couldn't tell whether the marks were from sticks or ropes, and they hadn't faded even after several months.
"San San...it must hurt terribly..."
San San noticed the sob in Chen Yunqi's voice and knew he was worried about her again, so she gently comforted him, "It doesn't hurt, really, it doesn't hurt anymore. Thinking of you makes it not hurt. I'm willing to take a beating to be with you."
"What a silly child..." Chen Yunqi's nose tingled, his eyes welling up with tears, almost obscuring San San's sensible expression. He swallowed the bitterness rising in his throat and suddenly said solemnly, "San San, although I can't marry you and have children with you, I want to take good care of you and protect you for the rest of my life. There are no legal constraints, no written guarantees, only my heart. Do you dare? If you're willing, from today onwards, you will be my partner for life. Do you understand? Do you want to?"
Through his blurry eyes, he saw San San gazing at him with deep emotion, and he nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"I understand, I'm willing."
My dearest San San, I have finally brought you home as I wished. Today is the day we pledge our lives to each other. No formalities or blessings are needed. That mountain and that cloud are the best testament to my love for you.
Chen Yunqi leaned over and kissed San San deeply. He reached out and turned on the Bluetooth speaker by the bedside, selected a song and pressed play. He said gently to San San, "Relax, baby. From now on, we can take it slow. We don't have to be so careful anymore. I want you to enjoy yourself."
A slow drumbeat began, and a languid, sexy female voice sang alluring, seductive melodies. Chen Yunqi watched as San San's muscles instantly relaxed as the music started, knowing his back was also a sensitive spot. He patiently traced his delicate skin with his fingertips, gently making circles. San San immediately squinted his eyes in pleasure, his back arching and swaying slightly, like a cat in heat, utterly endearing. He enjoyed the tingling sensations on his back, half his face buried in the soft pillow, his muffled groans husky and alluring: "...Mmm...itchy...brother..."
***
Chen Yunqi's hand had already lingered on the pert buttocks hidden under the blanket. He pushed the blanket down to reveal the two round, soft mounds of flesh, caressing and kneading them as he deliberately asked, "Where do you want me to go?"
San San blushed and didn't respond. Chen Yunqi's fingers slid down along the cleft of her buttocks, found the tender opening, and gently massaged it with his fingertips. Watching the changes in San San's expression, he asked, "Is it here?"
A slight itch ran through the opening, and San San trembled with pleasure, tilting her head back and moaning softly, "...Mmm...Yes..."
Chen Yunqi noticed that the moist opening was involuntarily opening and closing slightly, so he withdrew his hand, moistened his fingers, and gently probed inside.
The firm buttocks tightly protected the tender opening, the passage was hot and tight, and Chen Yunqi's fingers were squeezed so tightly that they could hardly move. He was worried that there was not enough lubrication and he would hurt San San, so he had to pull his hand back, turn over and press him down, slightly separate the buttocks, and stick out his tongue to gently lick San San's tight little mouth.
San San trembled even more violently, and uncontrollable groans escaped from between her teeth as she involuntarily cried out softly.
"Do you like it?" Chen Yunqi mimicked the movements of intercourse with his tongue, gently moving it in and out of the opening, then slowly moving downwards to lick the cool scrotum, asking, "Do you want it here?"
"...Mmm...I want...I want it all..." Having craved it for so long, San San no longer cared about his shame. He felt like he was about to be suffocated by the unmelted candy in his mouth, and he cried out passionately, "...Brother...I can't take it..."
“Tell me, baby,” Chen Yunqi deliberately stopped talking, looked up at the beautiful curves of his back with amusement, and asked, “What do you want me to do? I’ll do anything you want.”
As he asked the question, he straddled the back of San San's thighs, staring at the boy's alluring, jade-like white body. He slowly unbuckled his belt, pulled out his thick, swollen penis, moistened his palm, and began to slowly masturbate.
San San, lying face down on the pillow, couldn't see Chen Yunqi's expression. He didn't know that the tenderness and affection in Chen Yunqi's eyes were gone, replaced by a burning lust, a beastly desire almost bursting from his chest. San San's own lust was also fully aroused. Seeking even a moment's relief, he obediently responded, "I want you...I want you...um...fuck me..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hot, throbbing penis was already pressed against his entrance.
"Do you want it?" Chen Yunqi seemed to have grasped San San's weak spot, confirming with him again and again, challenging his patience, intentionally wanting to see his wanton appearance of begging for his favor at all costs.
San San no longer had the willpower to condemn his utterly wicked behavior; all she could do was desperately plead, her lower body arching uncontrollably, "Yes! Brother, hurry up, don't torture me..."
