A BMW 3 Series was parked in a corner of the underground parking lot. There was no one outside the car, but the inside was bustling with activity.

Zhou Jingxing sat in the back row, and Chen Zhou straddled his lap and kissed him face to face. His cheeks flushed pink, and even the corners of his eyes were tinged with a seductive charm.

"Ha... um..." With a muffled groan, the saliva that Chen Zhou couldn't hold in flowed down the corners of his mouth, and was licked away by Zhou Jingxing.

Beside them was a bouquet of fiery red roses. Zhou Jingxing kept moving his hands, gazing at Chen Zhou with infatuation, feeling that he, immersed in love, was even more beautiful than the roses.

Because of years of polishing plaster molds, Zhou Jingxing had a thin layer of calluses on his hands. Chen Zhou felt a mix of pain and pleasure when Zhou Jingxing grabbed him. He couldn't help but lean back against the back of the seat in front of him. Zhou Jingxing looked at his long neck and couldn't help but kiss it.

"Hiss... Be gentle..." Chen Zhou whispered, "Don't leave any traces."

Zhou Jingxing's mischievous side resurfaced. He smiled and whispered something in Chen Zhou's ear. Chen Zhou opened his wet eyes and glared at him, "Don't even think about it!" But Zhou Jingxing was captivated by that look and became even more enthusiastic. At that moment, he finally understood what it meant to have seductive eyes.

Zhou Jingxing noticed the change in Chen Zhou, but stopped at the crucial moment. He straightened Chen Zhou's clothes and said in a fake manner, "It's getting late, we should go, don't keep those people waiting."

"You!" Chen Zhou twisted his waist impatiently, reached out, and said defiantly, "If you won't help me, I'll do it myself!"

Zhou Jingxing bounced him forward to block his hand, and said with a smile, "If you do as I say, I'll help you, okay?"

"dream!"

Zhou Jingxing gently moved his hand, and Chen Zhou couldn't help but groan, "No..."

Zhou Jingxing whispered in his ear, coaxing, "Just once, just call out and I'll help you, okay?"

Chen Zhou called out softly, but was pressed down by Zhou Jingxing again just before he was about to reach him. He finally couldn't take it anymore and whispered "Good brother" to Zhou Jingxing.

Zhou Jingxing felt a rush of blood to his brain with a "buzz," and he passionately kissed Shen Zhou's lips. His breath was stolen in an instant, and Shen Zhou felt like he was about to suffocate. To make matters worse, Zhou Jingxing held their hands together, and the hot, unfamiliar touch made his tailbone go numb. Fortunately, they were both soon relieved, trembling.

The roses were just soiled.

Chen Zhou collapsed onto Zhou Jingxing, languidly like a cat. Zhou Jingxing held him, trying to wipe the stains off his clothes.

Shen Zhou instructed him, "Stop wiping, I have a new shirt in my suitcase, can you get it out for me?"

Zhou Jingxing quickly tidied himself up, and as instructed, took out his suitcase from behind and found the new shirt he had mentioned.

"There's also a pink box in the suitcase, could you bring that over for me too?" Chen Zhou said, looking at him.

Zhou Jingxing got into the car with his things. Shen Zhou had already taken off the shirt that the two of them had dirtied. Underneath his fair and delicate skin was a thin layer of muscle, as perfect as a painting.

Zhou Jingxing glanced at it and then turned away, handing him a clean shirt. "Put it on quickly, don't catch a cold."

As Chen Zhou dressed him, she teased him, "You were so shameless just now, saying and doing whatever you wanted. Why are you so shy now?"

Zhou Jingxing pursed his lips. "I'm afraid if I keep looking, we won't be able to have dinner tonight."

Chen Zhou glared at him, "You dare to mess around again!"

Zhou Jingxing argued, "Being intimate isn't considered fooling around... How can dating be considered fooling around?" Shen Zhou, who had already gotten dressed, ruffled Zhou Jingxing's hair and said, "You're talking nonsense again."

Zhou Jingxing picked up the pink box he had taken out of the suitcase and asked Chen Zhou, "What is this?"

Chen Zhou tilted his head to look at him. "It's a gift for you. Want to open it and take a look?"

Zhou Jingxing was overjoyed. "For me?" He carefully unwrapped the package and found a teacup inside, a blue and white porcelain cup.

The elegant blue and white porcelain forms a cassia tree pattern, while the openwork carving depicts a full moon and stars. Zhou Jingxing held up the cup, his delicate eyes shining with a soft light, like gentle moonlight and starlight reflected on his hands.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "When I saw this cup, I suddenly thought of the moon we looked at together from afar that night, so I bought it." He seemed a little nervous again, "You've handled so many national treasures, this might not be anything special, but I think it's quite interesting..."

“I really like it,” Zhou Jingxing said. “I really like it.” He smiled at Chen Zhou, his dark eyes filled with tenderness. “This is the best gift I’ve ever received.”

Shen Zhou smiled brightly, "I'm glad you like it."

After causing such a commotion in the underground parking garage, Zhou Jingxing and Shen Zhou arrived at their reserved private room quite late. As soon as Shen Zhou entered, he apologized to the four people present. Fortunately, they all assumed that Shen Zhou's train had arrived late, so no one noticed anything amiss.

During the meal, the ever-lively Sun Qian, as usual, took on the role of creating a lively atmosphere. Being a social butterfly, she communicated with everyone equally, except for Zhang Jin. Sun Qian refused to say a word to him, treating him as if he didn't exist.

Wang Qian, who is usually very outgoing, was unusually quiet today. She sat quietly in her seat, not saying anything. No matter who tried to talk to her, she would only give a few polite replies. She was especially polite to Dai Shu, as if she were a complete stranger.

Zhang Jin and Dai Shu looked at each other, and they both turned their gazes to Zhou Jingxing, hoping he could come up with a solution.

Zhou Jingxing met their gazes, gave them a knowing look, and said, "How did you know that Chen Zhou gave me a gift?"

Zhang Jindai Shu: ...

Zhou Jingxing happily opened his phone's photo album, "Look, it's this exquisite porcelain. Shen Zhou specially bought it for me from City C. He said it reminded him of the moon we watched together..."

Zhang Jin and Dai Shu immediately turned their heads away, pretending not to have heard him speak.

Seeing that the audience who had come to him had left, Zhou Jingxing went to ask Sun Qian, "Do you know what exquisite porcelain is?"

Sun Qian remained expressionless. "...Oh, I'm illiterate. I've only ever heard of modern white porcelain."

Zhou Jingxing pretended not to understand her sarcasm and asked Wang Qian, "Senior sister, you are knowledgeable and experienced, don't you also think this exquisite porcelain is beautiful and unique?"

Shen Zhou's temple throbbed. He tugged at Zhou Jingxing's sleeve and threatened in a low voice, "If you keep showing off like that, I'll take that teacup back."

Zhou Jingxing immediately calmed down. A moment later, he made a plan: he would take some more photos when he got home and then post a beautiful nine-grid photo collage on his WeChat Moments.

How can one travel in fine clothes at night!

The awkward atmosphere at the dinner table continued. Zhang Jin, being a straightforward person, couldn't stand Sun Qian's deliberate disregard for him. With a stern face, he said to Sun Qian, "Come out with me." Then he got up and left.

Sun Qian's face also fell. She stood up without hesitation and walked out aggressively.

"Qianqian..." Shen Zhou was a little worried and was about to follow them out when Zhou Jingxing stopped her. "Let them handle it themselves."

Chen Zhou looked somewhat worried, "But Zhang Jin seems very angry, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. "Don't worry, Zhang Jin just seems to have a bad temper." He lowered his voice and whispered to Shen Zhou, "He's actually a henpecked husband in private. Believe it or not, he'll kneel down and apologize to Sun Qian as soon as he steps out of this door."

Chen Zhou chuckled, "You're talking nonsense again." The worry on his face vanished instantly.

Five or six minutes later, Zhang Jinxi came in with a big smile, his arm around Sun Qian's shoulder. Sun Qian looked normal, but her lips were bright red.

It seems the two have made up.

Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Sun Qian, who shyly smoothed her hair.

Zhang Jin said smugly that he wanted to open another bottle of red wine. Zhou Jingxing ignored him, while Dai Shu looked at him with some envy and then stole a glance at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian treated him politely and courteously, but always with a sense of distance and indifference. Dai Shu couldn't help but feel disheartened; what he had missed over the years could never be made up for.

After dinner, everyone deliberately created opportunities for Dai Shu. So Dai Shu saw Wang Qian off first, Zhang Jin went home with Sun Qian, and in the end, only Zhou Jingxing and Shen Zhou were left.

Zhou Jingxing took Chen Zhou's hand and shook it. "Let's go, I'll take you back."

When the car arrived at the parking lot downstairs from Chenzhou Building, Zhou Jingxing racked his brains for an excuse to go up and sit for a while.

Shen Zhou opened the door and got out of the car first. He stood outside the door and looked at Zhou Jingxing with a strange expression, saying, "What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Zhou Jingxing was overjoyed and quickly picked up his suitcase to follow him.

Last time Zhou Jingxing visited Shen Zhou's house, he only managed to get into the entrance hall before leaving empty-handed. This time, he finally made it inside!

Zhou Jingxing sat on the sofa, wearing the slippers Chen Zhou had given him; a cushion Chen Zhou had carefully selected was draped over his shoulders; and in his hand was a cup of hot water that Chen Zhou had personally poured for him. He took a sip with restraint, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Where there's a will, there's a way; with unwavering resolve, even the mighty Qin Pass can be conquered. Heaven rewards the diligent; with perseverance and determination, even the mighty Yue army can defeat the Wu.

I finally succeeded in taking the position, hahaha!

While Chen Zhou went to the study to put his suitcase away, Zhou Jingxing began to look around the living room. The decor was minimalist and clean, but it seemed rather lifeless and deserted.

Shen Zhou came out of the study and sat down next to Zhou Jingxing, asking, "Have Senior Brother Dai and Senior Sister Wang made any progress these past few days?"

Zhou Jingxing shook his head, "No, we haven't even added each other on WeChat."

Shen Zhou was not surprised at all. "As expected," he sighed. "Some barriers cannot be eliminated in a day or two."

Zhou Jingxing put down his cup and put his arm around Shen Zhou's shoulder. "Zhang Jin is quick. He coaxed Sun Qian back to her in just a few minutes." Shen Zhou smiled and leaned on his shoulder. "Isn't it the same? They've been together for so many years. Their arguments are like flirting."

Zhou Jingxing asked him, "Were you worried about Sun Qian because you were afraid Zhang Jin would hit her?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Zhou said, "When I was a child, I saw my dad hit people, so when I see an angry person, I subconsciously feel that he will hit them."

Zhou Jingxing frowned and asked him cautiously, "Was the person who was beaten your mother?"

"Mm." Seeing Chen Zhou with his head down, Zhou Jingxing hugged him tighter and gave him a comforting kiss on the head. "It's all in the past."

Chen Zhou relaxed his body and leaned completely against him, as if his mood had also eased. He quietly curled his lips and said to Zhou Jingxing, "I know."

The two leaned against each other quietly. Zhou Jingxing appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was anxiously wishing time would slow down so he could spend more time with Shen Zhou.

After a long while, Zhou Jingxing figured he'd be kicked out if he didn't take the initiative soon. So he cleared his throat and said, "Then tonight..."

At this moment, Shen Zhou suddenly looked like he had made up his mind, "Why don't you stay tonight?"

...

Chen Zhou's face turned slightly red. "Um, what were you about to say?"

Zhou Jingxing: "It's nothing, I just said it's a pity I didn't get to drink tonight, hahaha." He stared intently at Chen Zhou, "Where should we begin?"
