CH 24

Su Tang shook his leg and the silver chains of the foot cuff issued a light sound that was not dull, but quite crisp, like a string of small bells.

Now feeling very bored, he raised his head to look around, taking note of the four white walls that were without any wallpapers and the mounted lamps that were astoundingly plain and simple.

Su Tang thought that if this was indeed Shen Lan’s apartment, the style carried a rather deep sense of sexual frigidity. Not knowing that he was this kind of person, how will things be when he meets the female lord in the future? Can he even take the initiative to get it up? His estimate, unlikely.

Just as he was thinking of this, the bedroom door was pushed opened and Su Tang frighteningly flatten himself on the ground, looking liked a melted hamster that was soft and elastic. Very conscious of the fact that he was being imprisoned here, now that the supervisor has come, he thought that he should at least try to look the part.

TN: a melted hamster lol

Therefore, he sat upright and looked upward, just in time to see Shen Lan standing in front of him with only a pair of underpants on. The other person had not wiped himself dry yet. His hair was still wet, with the droplets dripping from the ends of his hair and streaking down his cold cheeks. It then fell onto the deep sockets of his collarbone before making a turn and eventually slid down the lines of his chest.

Shen Lan had a very good build. His muscles were tight but not exaggerated. Every place was full of power, probably belonging to the type who looked thin when dressed but fleshy when undressed. He was also tall, with perfectly straight and long legs that were like a model’s. Not only that, the thing inside his underpants was also quite big and though it was currently not hard, it still looked full and bulging. If this were to get hard, would he be able to go on all day?

Su Tang stuck out his tongue, thinking that the other person was indeed worthy of being the male lord. Thinking about how good his physical conditions were, he could not help but be feel envious. Looking at his own small arms and legs, they were not the least bit manly.

As he once again thought about it, his eyes came into contact with Shen Lan profound gaze.

Su Tang froze for a second, then remembered that he had been staring at the other for a very long time. At once, his face became red, and he quickly moved back a few steps.

When Shen Lan saw this, he raised his eyebrows and asked: “Seen enough?”

Su Tang, with a guilt conscience, when asked such by Shen Lan, his hair immediately stood upright. Quickly shifting back to his original position, he stood up and pointed at him. “I haven’t!”

Hearing this, Shen Lan immediately laughed out loud. Drawing closer to him, he said: “Good. Then you can continue.”

“You…… I wasn’t!” Su Tang’s face was red and he stomped his feet, annoyed that he was unable to communicate with the other person. It was not like he wanted to look at the other person’s naked body. He was just casually looking at it, yes, just casually looking, that’s all.

“Uh huh, alright, whatever you say.” Shen Lan, knowing when to stop, bent down to remove the chain from the bedside and said: “Want to take a bath?”

Su Tang puffed out his cheeks and when Shen Lan asked him the question, he did not answer. He only gave the other person a glare, then walked out of the bedroom.

Shen Lan followed behind him, the corner of his mouth curving upward, seemingly in a very good mood. This was especially so when they both arrived at the bathroom door and Su Tang wanted to undress. The corner of his mouth curved up even higher.

“Take your clothes off outside,” he said.

“What?” Startled, Su Tang momentarily forgot his anger and turned around to look at the other.

“The bathroom is small so there is no place to put your clothes,” Shen Lan said.

“Then, then do I take it off here?” Su Tang incredulously asked.

“En.” Shen Lan gave an especially honest nod with an expression saying that such was only a right and natural thing to do.

As soon as Su Tang heard this, he felt like smoke was coming out of his head. Although they were both males, actually wanting him to strip in front of the other, this, he…… he could not do it, ah!

TN: steaming in embarrassment lol

At this moment, Su Tang was looking like a little rabbit that had been pushed into a corner by a wolf. Feeling at a loss of what to do and almost anxious enough to cry, in the end, when Shen Lan saw him like this, he no longer had the nerves to continue teasing him. “I will turn around so you can take off your clothes. After you finish, I’ll unlock you.”

“Good.” Relieved, Su Tang took off his clothes in one go and held it to his chest to cover himself. Waiting for Shen Lan to help him remove the lock, he then dashed into the bathroom, slamming the door closed behind him.

Eventually, the door opened again with a small slit and the clothes were thrown out.

Su Tang had thought that he had obscured himself perfectly. However, he did not know that in the moment he had turned around, he was seen by Shen Lan, and the sight caused his nose to become a little hot.

This little fool, covering his front but forgetting to cover his butt.

Because Su Tang had been so anxious at that time, his two calves were shaking and it made his white, tender and soft buttocks tremble. From between the gaps of his thighs, he could faintly see the pink……

Shen Lan reflected over the scene from just now, and felt that his self control, of which he had been proud of for more than twenty years, have been fed to the dogs. Shaking his head and smiling, he leaned over to pick up the thrown clothes and conveniently tossed them into the washing machine.

Su Tang, still foolish and unaware, was cheerfully and optimistically finishing up his bath. Fragrantly washed, his body was comfortably warm all over. Opening the door a crack, he reached out to feel for his clothes with his hand but found nothing.

“Shen Lan, where are my clothes?” he asked.

“I put them in the washing machine,” Shen Lan said.

“Eh?” Su Tang was completely stunned and felt that Shen Lan must have done this deliberately. Surely, the other person was afraid of him running away and so put his clothes in the washer. This way, he would be butt naked. Anyway, let’s just be honest here. Running around naked was definitely not something he could do.

But now that Shen Lan’s objective has been achieved, what should he do, ah?!

In the time that Su Tang was being tangled and confused, Shen Lan finally came out of the bedroom with a pair of shirt and underpants in hand. Walking to the front of the bathroom door, he knocked and said: “Since your clothes were a little wet and wearing them would only make you damp and cold, I put them in the washer.”

After he explained it, he added: “It would be better to wear mine. All new, I haven’t worn them yet.”

Shen Lan’s words were actually half lies and half truth. While he was indeed afraid of Su Tang being affected by the damp and cold, he also really wanted to see what the other person would looked like wearing his clothes.

It’s just a pity that Su Tang was very naive and immediately felt that he was a wretch for trying to guess the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measures[1] when he heard Shen Lan’s words. Quickly opening the door a crack, he put out his hand to receive it and also added a thank you.

“You’re welcome,” Shen Lan said with deadly earnestness.

Su Tang first put on the underwear. It was bit big, okay, it was actually very big, but he was too embarrassed to say anything about it. Binding it together to somehow make it work first, he then continued to put on the shirt. Again, it was too big, but with its length reaching his knees, he would not need to wear pants.

And sure enough, Shen Lan did not give him any pants, probably guessing that he would just end up tripping himself if he wore them. Tidying up the shirt collar, Su Tang thought that to be the truth and felt a somewhat indescribable feeling of shame welling up in his heart, so much so that he just wanted to hide in the bathroom and not come out.

“Are you done?” Shen Lan asked from outside.

“En, I’m dressed.” Clutching at the corner of the shirt, he came out. Shen Lan complexion was as usual, and he merely gave him a faint glance before kneeling down to give him the foot cuffs.

After he finished putting the cuffs on, he looked up at him again. There was a glimmer in his black eyes that made Su Tang nervous and he quickly tighten the clothes around him, trying to pull them down to cover his legs.

Little fool, it’s useless to cover it. You have already been seen by me.

So Shen Lan thought in his heart, even feeling a little proud. Bringing Su Tang into the bedroom, he started to blow dry the other person’s hair.

As the warm air blew on his face and disorderly blew his hair up and about, Su Tang quickly closed his eyes and sat still like a well-behaved and obedient child. While blowing his hair, Shen Lan also gave his scalp a massage. His fingers were very comfortable and warm as they moved back and forth between the hairs.

Su Tang was gradually becoming a little sleepy. Behind him was a broad chest and when the warm wind blew, he could smell a faint grassy scent from the other person. He leaned his head back, already wanting to fall asleep.

“Wake up, wake up. Don’t sleep here.” Shen Lan massaged his head a bit more then put the hair dryer aside and opened the corner of the quilt. Towards Su Tang, he said: “Come.”

In a daze, Su Tang crawled over and got into the quilt to sleep together with Shen Lan. As the other person pulled him into an embrace and conveniently put his hand on his butt, he finally realize that something was not quite right.

Just where were those hands touching?!
