Ji Yao was so thin-skinned that despite having the strong urge to take a second look and confirm what he saw earlier he covered his eyes and in turn tossed a drying cloth at him which landed squarely on Rui Fei's half-mast flag pole.
"Yao-ge... even the way you throw things at me clearly exposes your sleazy intentions towards me," he said in a silvery tone clear, light and pleasant. In contrast to his voice, he had a sly smile that could have him declared guilty without a trial.
"Tsk," tsked the embarrassed Ji Yao as he turned on his heel to leave. Since this cub had the balls to talk smack it meant he could bathe himself.
Realising he was about to lose his advantage Rui Fei leaned forward trying to grasp his hand and stop him from leaving.
But when he moved forward his legs softened at the knees and the end result was predictable. His lovely chin was about to make contact with the edge of the tub and the expected injury wasn't going to be light.
Lucky for him Ji Yao wouldn't let that happen. He rushed over and held Rui Fei up with their bodies pressed against each other. One was naked and the other fully dressed but there was an insummable amount of heat between the both of them.
Rui Fei's lips were brushing against Ji Yao's neck while Ji Yao's hands were on Rui Fei's back. None of them harboured innocent thoughts at this moment.
Rui Fei's entire body froze after being struck by a wave of enthrallment that took hold of him. His heart was thumping wildly as he subconsciously leaned his head downwards and brushed his lips at the bottom of Ji Yao's neck.
On the other hand, Ji Yao wasn't fairing well either. He was a little flustered as his curled hands unconsciously opened. He had the strong urge to caress Rui Fei's smooth back. His hands were itching to touch him and feel the muscles under that smooth skin.
As though possessed, he gulped with his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he hesitantly placed his hands on Rui Fei's back. He finally released his caught breath as he caressed that beautiful skin he so desired to touch.
It was at this moment Rui Fei whispered, "Yao-ge, I can't bath on my own. Will you please help me?" with his warm breath scolding Ji Yao's skin. The heat from his lips spread all over Ji Yao's body making his nerves stretched taut in excitement. Ji Yao subtly nodded his head without thinking much of it.
It was as though he was under an enchantment spell following Rui Fei's request with no scruples. He helped him settle in the wooden tub before slipping out of the outer robe that he had put back on when he left to warm up the water.
With his back towards Rui Fei who was steaming in the warm bath, Ji Yao touched the belt of his inner robe and paused.
He wasn't certain if he was ready for Rui Fei to see the entirety of him in his naked glory. He had no idea what sort of reaction Rui Fei would have when he sees his ahem..... Would he mention the disparity in their sizes and mock him or would he ignore it and pretend like he saw nothing? Either of the two would happen and his reaction would still be the same. He would most likely get upset and walk out.
While deliberating on whether to strip or not he heard Rui Fei say, "Yao-ge, you are taking so long. Hurry up before the water gets cold." His voice sounded weak possibly a little drowsy.
That's because of the dried herbal flowers Rui Fei put in there. They were meant to calm both of them as their bodies healed from such a traumatic event. The only problem was that the calming effect leaned more towards being a sedative which Ji Yao could now use to his advantage.
Controlling the steam to surround his body more he joined Rui Fei in the tub with his inner robe on. He sincerely hoped this cub was too drowsy to notice. He walked over with the water reaching his hips and settled in front of Rui Fei.
"How are you feeling?" he asked with his hand on Rui Fei's cheek. Rui Fei's eyes looked misty like he was slowly falling asleep but in his daze, he could still see that Ji Yao's clothes were still on.
Dissatisfied he weakly reached out and tried to pull the silk robe plastered to Ji Yao's body because of the water as he complained, "Why are you hiding? Yao-ge, I want to see." Because of his drowsiness, the way he tugged at the cloth was so weak and his speech slurred, completely lacking the fierceness he wanted to display.
The way he was tugging at his clothes Ji Yao was afraid he would hurt himself so he said, "Don't..... I will, I will take it off..... just relax." True to his word Ji Yao took off the silk robe and this pup smiled like he had won the lottery.
Ignoring Rui Fei's piercing gaze that looked like he was eyeing delicious prey he grabbed the sponge nearby and approached Rui Fei and bath him.
This task would have been a whole lot easier if the youth would stay still but he kept trying to see what was beneath the surface of the water. He tried to sweep away the petals floating all over the water surface that were obstructing his view but it was pointless. They kept coming back like they were under someone's control.
With his low IQ right now he couldn't come to this conclusion so he just looked up with pouted lips and complained again, "Yao-ge, I, I can't see... I want to see." Hearing this Ji Yao began to suspect that he poured alcohol in the water, not a sedative. Maybe it was because the herbal flowers were three times more powerful than morphine.
The youth in front of him was selling meng while pulling at his arm looking wronged. "I will show you after you finish bathing but you have to be obedient and let me finish, okay?" said the senior who wasn't even fully naked under the water. He was still wearing his pants.
The senior who had just scammed his half drunk half asleep junior lowered his head as he focused on scrubbing those fine muscle lines while trying not to be a pervert. At this rate, he knew Rui Fei would have passed out by the time he was done bathing him and only said that to appease him.
Rui Fei seemed to believe him as he sat there looking like the most well behaved child in kindergarten. When Ji Yao told him to raise his hand he would. When Ji Yao told him to tilt his head he would.. All the while staring at him like he was admiring a priceless piece of art.
