Gift

Gift

Shen Zhou's face flushed red instantly. "What do you mean by 'conclusion'... I already said it's fictional!"

Zhou Jingxing was still on top of him, and whispered something in his ear.

Shen Zhou reacted violently, "No! That...it's too hard to clean up, and we have a bonfire party tonight." He turned around and kissed Zhou Jingxing's face in a pleading manner, "Please don't do that."

Zhou Jingxing looked somewhat disappointed, but he reluctantly agreed, "Alright then." Just as Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Jingxing pulled out a small toy from somewhere.

Shen Zhou was shocked. "You brought this to the company team building event?"

Zhou Jingxing said matter-of-factly, "What's wrong with that? Does participating in team building mean we won't sleep at night? Since we're going to sleep anyway, then I—"

Shen Zhou covered his mouth and stuffed the unbearable details back into Zhou Jingxing's mouth.

Zhou Jingxing always has a way. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked Shen Zhou's palm.

Shen Zhou immediately withdrew his hand, saying awkwardly, "This won't do either!"

Zhou Jingxing truly felt wronged this time. "Wife, you're so unreasonable. You won't let me have this or that. You don't care about me at all."

Chen Zhou was shocked by his shamelessness. "How dare you say that! Why don't you care about me? I'm afraid you'll ruin me and I'll get slapped by the caregivers in the nursing home when I'm old."

Zhou Jingxing's eyes darkened further. Had he been ruined...? Images involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Shen Zhou looked at him suspiciously. "What's with that look? And did you hear me when I said I didn't want this?"

Zhou Jingxing feigned innocence, "Fine, if you don't like it, then forget it. I was just thinking about how to achieve sustainable development..."

He lowered his voice for the last two words, but Chen Zhou still heard them. He was both angry and ashamed. "Zhou Jingxing! If you keep talking nonsense, you can forget about ever doing 'that' again!"

Taking advantage of Zhou Jingxing's momentary lapse in attention, Chen Zhou finally found an opportunity to get up. He pushed Zhou Jingxing away, saying, "I don't want to do this anymore! Get out of the way, I need to go to the bathroom." After saying that, he hurriedly went into the bathroom and locked the door.

Zhou Jingxing was incredibly clingy. He followed her to the bathroom door and knocked on it every minute, which annoyed Shen Zhou to no end.

Chen Zhou, leaning against the sink, could no longer contain himself. "It'll be done soon, stop knocking!"

Zhou Jingxing frowned as he looked at the locked bathroom door. His wife was doing this on purpose! He quickly stepped aside, moving silently like a hunting dog waiting for a rabbit to come out of its burrow.

When Shen Zhou heard that the annoying knocking had finally stopped, he figured the puppy must have calmed down. He opened the door and peeked out, wanting to see if Zhou Jingxing had already gone for his afternoon nap.

Suddenly he felt a warm, masculine aura coming from the side. Before he could react, he was already being hugged around the waist.

"Zhou Jingxing! Aren't you childish?!"

Zhou Jingxing chuckled softly, making Chen Zhou's chest tingle. "You were the one who hid from me like a child first." He picked up Chen Zhou and threw him onto the bed.

Sensing danger, Shen Zhou nervously stepped back and leaned against the headboard. Zhou Jingxing slowly unfastened his watch and tossed it onto the table. He stared at Shen Zhou, then sat down beside him.

"Honey, you seem a little nervous."

Chen Zhou turned his head and looked at the reading lamp beside him. "Who's nervous! I'm sleepy, I should take a nap." He glanced warily at Zhou Jingxing. "Just sleeping? I said I'm not doing it anymore."

Zhou Jingxing reached over the sunken boat and turned off the light. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Go to sleep." Then he lay down.

Shen Zhou looked at him in disbelief. Was he really asleep? Shen Zhou tentatively lay down as well and closed his eyes.

He quickly opened his eyes again, his face flushed as he looked at the person next to him.

Zhou Jingxing lay on his side, watching him while... moving his hand under the blanket!

Shen Zhou met his gaze and, stimulated by the infatuation in his eyes, jumped up, "Ahhhhhh what are you doing!"

Zhou Jingxing stopped what he was doing and sat up. "Wife, why aren't you sleeping?"

"How am I supposed to sleep like this! Why are you looking at me while...doing that!"

Zhou Jingxing looked innocent. "I just wanted to put this on you secretly." He then opened his hand, revealing a bracelet in his palm, its classic five-petal design shimmering in the dim light.

Zhou Jingxing simply turned on the light and tied the bracelet to Chen Zhou's wrist. "It's the same bracelet as the one worn by your favorite tennis player. It's said to bring good luck." He said dismissively, "But I think it's just official marketing rhetoric."

Zhou Jingxing held his hand, the bracelet gleaming on Shen Zhou's wrist. "Happy birthday, baby."

Chen Zhou's expression shifted, a glint in his eyes. "I didn't tell you... how did you know?"

Zhou Jingxing smiled smugly. "I have an informant by your side." He changed the subject. "But what did you think I was doing just now, hmm?"

Shen Zhou quickly went from being touched to feeling ashamed. His eyes flickered, "No, it's nothing." Shen Zhou turned her head away, embarrassed to look at him, "Thank you for the gift, I really like it."

Zhou Jingxing wasn't going to let him off so easily. "You're welcome. But you just thought I was doing *that*, right? Good heavens, how could you think of me like that? That's really mean."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't realize you had such a vivid imagination, you actually..."

Enraged, Shen Zhou leaned forward, grabbed Zhou Jingxing's collar, and kissed his persistent lips. Zhou Jingxing immediately hugged him tightly, his hands gripping his slender waist, pulling him closer, and deepening the kiss.

Zhou Jingxing's kiss was incredibly gentle. He first used the tip of his tongue to trace the shape of Chen Zhou's mouth, then withdrew to lick and kiss the moist corners of his lips repeatedly. His movements were delicate and tender, and his eyes were focused and affectionate.

The sunken boat easily lost itself in his tenderness.

The gentle kisses lost their flavor as they moved downwards, turning fierce. Zhou Jingxing bit Chenzhou's neck, grinding his canines against it. Chenzhou trembled slightly with his movements, and Zhou Jingxing, realizing his tension, released him with satisfaction. He looked at the back of Chenzhou's neck, and, as if remembering something, couldn't help but lick his teeth.

"Honey, can I mark it again?"

With her remaining rationality, Chen Zhou refused him, "No, if you bite the back of my neck again, it'll swell up."

Zhou Jingxing buried his head in Chen Zhou's shoulder and coaxed him softly, as if being affectionate, "I promise I'll be gentle and won't hurt you."

Chen Zhou, unable to resist Zhou Jingxing's persistent nibbling, turned around in a daze, only to have the skin on the back of his neck once again gripped by Zhou Jingxing's teeth. Zhou Jingxing's teeth were indeed very light; he licked and bit at that smooth, delicate skin, and Chen Zhou couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Listening to his increasingly distorted low moans, Zhou Jingxing's breathing grew heavier, his warm, moist breath hitting Shen Zhou's face. Shen Zhou's breath was even hotter, his exhaled damp air like a continuous spring rain, enveloping Zhou Jingxing and making Zhou Jingxing's pleasure seem to double.

"Hmm... Jingxing..."

Zhou Jingxing looked down at Chen Zhou and saw that his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were glazed over. He was obviously extremely happy and kept saying sweet words, "So comfortable, I like you so much..."

Zhou Jingxing pressed his stomach, eliciting a soft groan. He smiled and kissed Chen Zhou, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Is it ready?"

Chen Zhou hooked her arms around his neck, her words incoherent, "Ugh! Don't..."

Soon he was speechless, like a rabbit caught in a gentle trap, unable to escape...

The bonfire party was held on the large lawn in front of the hotel. Zhou Chen and his companion arrived a little late. As soon as they stepped out of the hotel gate, they saw a fire in the center of the lawn in the distance, surrounded by a group of people chatting and dancing. There were also two barbecue grills downwind, where hotel staff and people from their company were helping to grill the food. It was a lively and bustling scene.

Shen Zhou pulled Zhou Jingxing to join the fun near the bonfire. When they arrived, the focus of the crowd was Bai Lian dancing energetically with a young man from the company's marketing department. Bai Lian's dance moves were lively and bold, drawing cheers from the sidelines.

As the music stopped, Bai Lian walked straight to Chen Zhou amidst applause. He smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, you're so late! The first wave of giveaways has already ended. President Gao just gave out such a big bunch of red envelopes." He also smiled politely at Zhou Jingxing, "Hello, Teacher Zhou."

Chen Zhou's voice was still weak from overuse, and he spoke in a low, alluring tone, "I had something to do, so we're late. I hope you all have fun."

Bai Lian's gaze swept over the faint traces visible beneath Shen Zhou's collar, as if he hadn't noticed anything. "Teacher Shen is so lucky to have Teacher Zhou by your side all the time," he said with envy. "Unlike me, I've always been alone."

Here comes that innocent white lotus again. Zhou Jingxing's thoughts shifted, and he said with a smile, "That boy you were dancing with just now seemed very attentive to you, Xiaobai, haven't you considered it?"

Bai Lian frowned and blurted out, "How can he compare to Teacher Shen?" He paused, "And Teacher Zhou too. With you two shining examples before us, how can ordinary people even catch our eye?" Bai Lian expressed his admiration politely at just the right moment, "He and I are not a good match, unlike you two who are so compatible and well-matched."

Zhou Jingxing thought to himself, "Just as I thought! This white lotus flower is just trying to seduce my wife!"

He said slowly, "That's not how it works. People need to work out with each other. How can you know if you're compatible if you don't spend time together?"

Bai Lian pouted, "I just knew it."

Shen Zhou was about to say something when he was called away by Gao, the vice president of his company who appreciated him, who said there were some work-related details to discuss.

Even after Chen Zhou left, Bai Lian continued to treat Zhou Jingxing with great courtesy, which made Zhou Jingxing even more wary. Such a pretentious opponent was really not on the same level as Zhao Xin, that loser. So he also pretended to be polite and exchanged a few moves with him before leaving.

Zhou Jingxing pretended to be interested in the barbecue, but in reality, he stood in front of the barbecue grill and secretly observed Bai Lian.

Sure enough, he noticed something was wrong. Bai made a phone call, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, and then walked along the path towards a secluded grove of trees next to the hotel.

Seeing that Shen Zhou was still talking enthusiastically with President Gao, Zhou Jingxing took advantage of the darkness and followed Bai Lian into the woods.
