"Are you tired?" she asked.
Yuan Xu shook his head, buried his face in the crook of her neck, his breath hot: "I want more..."
Yu Jiuyuan chuckled and reached out to ruffle his hair: "Greedy."
But she did not refuse, feeling his body tremble.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, casting golden stripes on them, as if coating this private space with a warm veil.
This time, Yuan Xu was no longer as impatient as before. His movements became slow and deep, with an almost obsessive gentleness.
He seemed to want to stretch this moment out indefinitely, to imprint her scent, her warmth, her presence deeply into his senses.
Yu Jiuyuan closed her eyes, feeling his approach and the unique focus and passion of a scientist within him.
She knew that Yuan Xu's love was like the biological samples he studied—seemingly calm and objective, but actually hiding a vibrant, unknown life force.
With just a little sunshine and rain, it can bloom in its most beautiful form.
After an unknown amount of time, when the two finally stopped, the sky outside the window was already getting dark.
Yuan Xu carried her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went to the bathroom to run the water.
Yu Jiuyuan looked at his slightly clumsy back and couldn't help but smile.
She knew that she would still have to return to the master bedroom that night, back to Rong Shenghan's arms.
But at this moment, she just wanted to reassure Yuan Xu and let him know that even though so many people were sharing her attention, he was still special.
When Yuan Xu returned with the water, he saw Yu Jiuyuan leaning against the headboard looking at him with clear eyes.
He placed the basin of water beside the bed, picked up a towel and gently wiped her arms, his movements as tender as if he were handling a fragile specimen.
"Tonight..." He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are we going back?"
“Yes.” Yu Jiuyuan didn’t hide anything. “But now, I am yours.”
Yuan Xu paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, as if she had received some kind of promise.
He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, the kiss carrying the cool scent of moisture and his unique aroma.
Yu Jiuyuan closed her eyes, savoring this moment of tranquility.
As spring nights gradually descend, they bring the fragrance of grass and trees and a touch of ambiguous warmth.
She knew that she would have to comfort Rong Shenghan later and tell him in another way that he was still her favorite.
But now, all she wants to do is spend time with Yuan Xu, giving him all her attention on this spring afternoon that belongs to them.
After all, isn't that the joy of taming these "pets"? To satisfy each of them, and yet each of them is inseparable from her.
She slightly opened her eyes, looked at Yuan Xu's profile as he carefully wiped her hands, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
What a perfect day.
