The kiss landed on my cheek, very light and soft, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Xie Chang'an immediately released Ye Jingchen's wrist, covered his cheek and took several steps back, staring at Ye Jingchen in shock.

"I only kissed your cheek once, is there any need for such a big reaction?" Ye Jingchen asked, somewhat amused.

If he had kissed Xie Chang'an on the lips just now, wouldn't he have exploded on the spot?

"Flirtatious!" Xie Chang'an uttered these two words and strode out of the room.

"I'm frivolous, you're innocent, we're a match made in heaven!" Ye Jingchen said with a smile.

Xie Chang'an immediately walked even faster.

Even after leaving the room, Xie Chang'an could still hear Ye Jingchen's unrestrained laughter.

He let go and used his finger to poke the spot where Ye Jingchen had kissed him; it was still burning hot, definitely on fire.

Xie Chang'an's feelings were immediately filled with complex emotions.

"I'm going back to the palace. Do you want a hug?" While Xie Chang'an was in a daze, Ye Jingchen had already dressed and walked out of the room, standing in front of him.

Do you want a hug?

Xie Chang'an asked himself the same question, but his hands seemed to have their own thoughts, itching to move.

"If you don't refuse, I'll take that as your agreement." Just like when they parted yesterday, Ye Jingchen reached out and hugged Xie Chang'an tightly.

This time, Xie Chang'an's hands were much faster than yesterday, and he immediately hugged Ye Jingchen back.

He could feel Ye Jingchen's affection and fondness for him, which was genuine and profound. It seemed like it wouldn't be bad to spend the rest of his life with someone like that.

That night, Xie Chang'an had another wonderful dream all night long. However, after waking up, he was lying alone in bed, feeling even more empty without the warmth of another person beside him.

He began to look forward to Ye Jingchen's arrival, but he waited for a long time in the morning and Ye Jingchen did not come.

Why didn't he come today?

Could it be that his attachment and affection could only last for two days?

That day felt incredibly long to Xie Chang'an.

He did nothing but sit idly in the courtyard of Chang'an Residence for a whole day.

During dinner, he suddenly realized that today was the day to pay respects to the emperor.

Thinking about this lessened his anxiety and disappointment, but a new worry arose: would Ye Jingchen come tomorrow?

The next morning, Xie Chang'an was still sitting under the peach tree waiting. To pass the time, he even started reading the storybook that Ye Jingchen had only read halfway through.

He waited for a long time, but he only turned a few pages of the storybook and couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

Finally, he heard some familiar footsteps outside the courtyard, and then someone pushed open the door and came in, following the light.

"I had to pay my respects to the Emperor yesterday, so I didn't come to see you. Did you miss me?" Ye Jingchen sat down next to Xie Chang'an and asked with a smile.

Xie Chang'an didn't say anything, but simply handed him the storybook.

"You even prepared a storybook for me. Brother Chang'an is so thoughtful." Ye Jingchen praised as he took the storybook.

"Don't you really need to handle government affairs every day?" Xie Chang'an asked curiously.

Although he was never the crown prince, he was the emperor. Emperors are never idle, so the crown prince should be no better off.

"No need. If you hadn't lost your memory, I reckon you'd still be in bed right now," Ye Jingchen said casually.

Xie Chang'an looked up at the sky, then at Ye Jingchen, and felt his face burning again.

The sun was high in the sky, and they were still fooling around in bed?

"Why are you blushing? It's me in bed, not us in bed." Ye Jingchen was reading a book, but he was also observing Xie Chang'an. When he saw Xie Chang'an blushing, he immediately teased him.

Xie Chang'an: ......

You got excited for nothing.

but--

"Why are you still in bed at this hour?" Xie Chang'an asked.

Ye Jingchen rolled his eyes at Xie Chang'an and said, "That's because you get carried away every time you do it, and when you get carried away, you don't act like a human being, and you exhaust me."

Upon hearing such vulgar words, Xie Chang'an not only blushed, but also felt completely at a loss, not even knowing how to sit on the stool, how to position his hands, or how to put his feet.

What shocked him the most was that, according to Ye Jingchen, he was actually the one who took the initiative.

Before this, he had always thought he was the one who suffered.

"Me...I really am such a beast?" Xie Chang'an asked, his tongue tied in knots.

After asking the question, Xie Chang'an realized what he had asked and felt an urge to silence himself for asking it.

Ye Jingchen burst out laughing.

He looked Xie Chang'an up and down until Xie Chang'an felt uncomfortable, then joked, "I didn't expect that you, with your amnesia, would have such a clear understanding of yourself."

Xie Chang'an had a blank expression, wishing he could just die on the spot.

"You don't need to blame yourself for this. Although you are a beast, I also felt good. Otherwise, I wouldn't have indulged you."

Xie Chang'an silently covered his ears.

In his memory, he was still an innocent boy who had never even held a girl's hand—how could he withstand such lewd words?

However, he probably won't have the chance to touch a girl's hand again in his lifetime.

He felt that he couldn't escape Ye Jingchen's grasp at all.

That afternoon, after Ye Jingchen fell asleep, Xie Chang'an couldn't resist the temptation and quietly climbed into bed and lay down next to Ye Jingchen.

Seeing that he didn't react, Xie Chang'an boldly reached out and hugged him again.

Ye Jingchen's unique scent permeated the air around him. He used to think that only girls could be so sweet and soft, but he never expected that he would feel the same way when he was holding a man.
