Maybe it was because he foresaw his payday or that he was finally going to get back at his siblings. Whatever the reason he was happier than before.

While Rui Pianzi was having the best mood in a long time, Rui Fei had spent a night being scrutinised like a lab rat by Ji Yao. When they finally got some alone time he thought they could have a makeup session which is customary after having a disagreement.
Thinking he could coax Ji Yao by showering him with kisses and possibly having a creamy snack he was instead bombarded with questions. Ji Yao had deliberately blocked his mouth with his hand preventing Rui Fei from advancing further then an endless round of questions started.
It started feeling like he was visiting the doctor instead of being with his lover. Questions like how are you feeling, is your aether hot or cold, are your aetherial veins under pressure where asked endlessly. The enthusiasm of being alone with Ji Yao slowly faded with his radiant expression gradually changing to a vacant look on his face.
As the round of questions continued his answers became sluggish with simple one-word responses like mhm, hmm, mn and the classic ah huh. Ji Yao should have been annoyed by this but he seemed unbothered asking seriously.
This cub was about to fall asleep with his face almost slipping out of his arm that was propping up his head. That's when the round of questions stopped and the beginning of his physical examination. Once that hand touched his forehead the cub sprung up like a student when their favourite teacher walks into class.
With a straight back and his hands on either of his crossed legs, he bit his lower lip in anticipation. Ji Yao didn't pay attention to Rui Fei's awkwardness as he was wholly focused on examining him. Rui Fei followed Ji Yao's every move with his eyes thoughts impure.
He watched as Ji Yao examined him everywhere. Actually, it would be more accurate to say he was fondled everywhere and when Ji Yao moved up to his face the smile on Rui Fei's face turned wolfish.
The two eyes met and Rui Fei said, "Does this count as foreplay? Because I can't wait to have the main course... ha haha stop, Yao-ge hahaha please stop," he said as Ji Yao found the infamous place known as the tickle spot.
Ji Yao who was poking Rui Fei's inner thigh was startled and don't ask why he was touching there in the first place. It was part of the examination, okay? Pulling his hand away he said, "If you keep speaking nonsense I will do it again."
Rui Fei who couldn't hold back his tears gazed at Ji Yao as his laughter gradually died down. The look on his face suddenly dimmed like he had been wronged. That expression was easy to read through. It was as though he was asking aggrievedly, "Why did you stop?"
Ji Yao, "...."
Okay, since this cub wanted to get tickled then this senior would surely grant his wish. Instead of engaging in and I quote 'adult activities' these two were actually playing the most childish of games. They had a tickle fight rolling around back and forth like preschoolers.
This innocent game ended with Ji Yao right on top of Rui Fei mounting him as though riding a horse. The two people stared at each other their chests heaving as their laughter died down. Ji Yao's hair was flowing like a graceful waterfall providing some kind of curtain preventing prying eyes from seeing what was happening between them.
Rui Fei had his hands around Ji Yao's waist staring at him with a doting gaze. His body had calmed down from that scuffle earlier but his heart was still beating frantically as he gazed into those stunning eyes swooning over him.
Those seductive eyes were drawing him into doing something R rated to this sly fox lying on top of him. He raised his hand from Ji Yao's waist and twirled the stray tuft of hair at the side of Ji Yao's temple around his index finger as he lightly bit his lower lip.
But touching Ji Yao's stray strands wasn't satisfactory enough. He slowly racked his fingers through Ji Yao's hair making the man lying on top of him shiver in excitement. Biting his lower lip seductively he pulled at Ji Yao's jade hairpin allowing the rest of the hair that was pinned up to flow down completely covering them both.
Ji Yao wanted to ask him what he was doing when the naughty cub gently massaged his scalp which was basically his limit. His breath caught in his throat he followed those fingers tracing his scalp.
Because his eyes were closed he didn't notice that Rui Fei was staring at him like a starved wolf ready to devour its prey. He was mesmerized by the way Ji Yao looked under his provocation.
This face, this version of Ji Yao only he could see. Only he could touch Ji Yao and make him melt in his hands. Ji Yao can only belong to him and him alone. A possessive feeling swept through his body as he drew Ji Yao closer. The calmness in his eyes was swept away replaced by inexplicable darkness.
As their lips touched an explosive chain reaction spread across Rui Fei's body. Like a fanatic who had been denied for a very long time, he grabbed Ji Yao tightly deepening the kiss. The once gentle cub turned fierce with his tongue teasing Ji Yao's while his hands slipped into his clothes.
Ji Yao was too immersed in his pleasure that he didn't notice his sweet cub had turned vicious and brazen. Maybe it was because of the intoxicating taste of wine lingering on his tongue that he didn't notice something was up. Drunk with pleasure his tongue slid past Rui Fei's soft lips thoroughly indulging himself.
Provoked Rui Fei bit the man's lower lip with his hand gripping Ji Yao's hair. Ji Yao who didn't expect that groaned as the rusty taste of blood filled his mouth. Rui Fei felt his lower half ignite with an inexplicable hunger. Desperate to tear his clothes and taste that beautiful skin under that robe he turned Ji Yao over and pressed him down.
Ji Yao who had just been bitten by a dog was starting to regain a bit of his senses. He felt Rui Fei's hand going up to his thigh. Ji Yao was suddenly pulled till their swords were rubbing against each other. His knee was bent and held firmly in place by Rui Fei.
The cub's hand slipped inside Ji Yao's crotch but before he could do anything his hand was suddenly stopped by Ji Yao. Rui Fei pulled that hand and pinned it above Ji Yao's head.
Ji Yao was like a trapped beast with no way out.. It seemed the pied piper was losing patience with him and coming to collect payment.
