Arc 2: Chapter 22
Lin Yuan rarely looked at Fu Cheng from this angle. The other’s inky hair casually framed the other’s face, dense and slender eyelashes casted shadows over his eyes, and he looked otherworldly in the dark living room.
Lin Yuan was mesmerized and couldn’t help but remember the first time he saw Fu Cheng. The teenager was cold and withdrawn, and the darkness and shadows thickly tangled around him.
But now Fu Cheng had changed. Amongst the decay and darkness, blooming flowers reached towards the sun and into the future.
Lin Yuan carefully cupped Fu Cheng’s face and kissed the other’s eyes. He said softly: “Then you have to listen to me, or else the Heaven’s will take me back.”
Fu Cheng lightly smiled and nodded: “Ok, I will always listen to Sui Sui.”
Lin Yuan didn’t completely believe the other. He glanced at the unchanging 15% of blackening and knew that there were still some scars in Fu Cheng’s heart that weren’t healed.
But Lin Yuan was confident that he could save Fu Cheng. After all, Fu Cheng said himself that he was sent from the Heavens~
Lin Yuan reached out and touched Fu Cheng’s lips. Lin Yuan’s round eyes were misty and the corners of his eyes were still red. He opened his slightly rosy and swollen lips and said: “Kiss me……”
“Fu Cheng, kiss me…”
Seeing Lin Yuan’s soft and seductive appearance, a fire burned in Fu Cheng’s heart. His slender fingers slightly pulled down on Lin Yuan’s collar and asked meaningfully: “Just like this?”
Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled.
Fu Cheng stood up and sat on the sofa, patted his own leg, and looked at Lin Yuan with clear possessiveness in his beautiful, narrow eyes.
“Sit here.”
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the night when he got drunk and blushed. Shyness and expectation arose in his heart. His waist was soft but he went over to sit on Fu Cheng’s lap.
Lin Yuan was too shy to look straight at Fu Cheng and whispered: “......I’m sitting.”
Fu Cheng felt his desire for control overflow as he looked at the shy teenager who curled in on himself. Fu Cheng grasped the other’s waist and rubbed lightly.
At the same time, a kiss fell on the shell of Lin Yuan’s ear and he seduced the other in a low voice: “Look at me, Sui Sui. I like it when you look at me.”
Lin Yuan obediently looked at the teenager and bared his neck. His voice was soft, sweet, and sticky: “Fu Cheng, I… I’m looking……”
Fu Cheng was unimaginably satisfied seeing the other’s well-behaved appearance.
Thin lips kissed across Lin Yuan’s cheeks, creating a light itch. Then they fell on Lin Yuan’s wet and swollen lips. Fu Cheng softly nibbled on the other, and then the tip of his tongue slipped inside through the space in between the other’s teeth and hooked the soft tip of the other’s tongue and sucked and licked it.
All the while, Fu Cheng’s hand went downwards and continued moving. Lin Yuan was rubbed until his mind was blank and his body felt like it was floating, as if he was a flower that just bloomed, and sweet nectar flowed onto Fu Cheng’s hands.
Fu Cheng gasped lowly: “Sui Sui… Lin Yuan… look clearly. Look at how I kiss you, touch you, and make you feel good…… don’t forget it this time…”
Lin Yuan melted into a puddle from the other’s voice and he was powerless in front of Fu Cheng’s actions.
This time, the softness of Fu Cheng’s lips, the heat from Fu Cheng’s tongue, the flexibility of Fu Cheng’s fingers, were all etched into Lin Yuan’s brain. They made Lin Yuan feel good, but also overstimulated.
Fu Cheng was also very mean tonight, he kept on reminding him about what happened when he was drunk.
The pressure of the college entrance exam, which was not too bad for Lin Yuan, coupled with their evening activities made Lin Yuan tired and he slept through the rest of the day.
When he woke up, Lin Yuan was surprised to see that Fu Cheng wasn’t awake yet.
When Fu Cheng slept, without the harshness he had when he was awake, he looked gentle and good. As Lin Yuan looked, he felt like he really liked the other a lot. He really wanted to touch, but he was also afraid of waking the him up.
Two hours later, the teenager’s eyelashes trembled and he half opened his eyes. He saw Lin Yuan looking at him with bright eyes and smiled and asked: “Why did you wake up so early today?”
Lin Yuan leaned over and happily rubbed against him: “Fu Cheng, were you really tired? You were sleeping very deeply.”
Indeed, Fu Cheng didn’t expect that he could sleep so soundly. He hugged Lin Yuan and kissed the other’s face: “I wasn’t tired. I was just too relieved that this time Sui Sui didn’t regard me as a substitute this time.” He said this to tease the other, but it made Lin Yuan sit up a little.
Lin Yuan’s gaze noticed the bite marks that he had left on Fu Cheng’s Adam’s apple and neck, and he reached out and rubbed Fu Cheng’s Adam’s apple soothingly. He looked into Fu Cheng’s eyes and said seriously: “You will always be you, the person I like the most in this life, and the next life and…”
“...in every life.”
Lin Yuan said these words sincerely, and Fu Cheng blushed sincerely.
During their meal, Lin Yuan felt that the inside of his thighs were a little sore and painful, and he thought to himself that it was all Fu Cheng’s fault, why did he have to last for so long?
In the days after the college entrance exam, Fu Cheng and Lin Yuan didn’t go outside. They kissed and touched each other endlessly from the sofa to the bathroom to the bed, but Fu Cheng didn’t go to the last step. The furthest he went was using Lin Yuan’s thighs.
Lin Yuan felt like things couldn’t go on like this. The task deadline was getting closer and closer, and he couldn’t keep on just kissing.
Therefore Lin Yuan started to pester Fu Cheng to go travel with him.
Lin Yuan wanted to travel to other places with Fu Cheng so he could let Fu Cheng see the world outside of Ning City.
Many years ago, it was Huo Chen who brought him to see the different landscapes across the world: the vast desert, the starry night sky, the autumn city, and the northern lights.
Huo Chen turned him human, so now it was his turn to take Fu Cheng out to see the world. See that the world was not completely cruel and heartless.
But Fu Cheng had never left Ning City and had never considered traveling, so he couldn’t help but be hesitant and even nervous.
He had always chained himself to the city, like a bound spirit. If thought that while he lived, it would be in Ning City, and if he died, it would also be in Ning City.
Fu Cheng contemplated all night. When Lin Yuan woke up the next day, Fu Cheng kissed the other’s lips and said: “Sui Sui, let’s go on a trip.”

Fu Cheng held the hand of the teenager who belonged to him and for the first time, he left the city that he was both familiar and disgusted with and ventured out to new places.
The world was vast. It was bigger than all the words that could describe it, and it was more beautiful than all the photos and videos that pictured it.
The world was full of countless miracles. Gorgeous mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. Mountain peaks stacked behind one another, water flowed down to nourish the trees and flowers, and every leaf and every butterfly was life’s miracle.
Fu Cheng finally observed the vastness of the world around him. Compared to the world, he was so small and so insignificant.
Looking at the landscapes around him, Fu Cheng felt that he was no longer lonely and empty.
He stood in the midst of a bustling city, looking up at temples and pavilions that held the traces of human history.
Here was history, here was humanity, and here was Fu Cheng and Lin Yuan.
Here was the future.

The night before the entrance exam results were released, Fu Cheng and Lin Yuan flew back to Ning City. Because it was late at night, many of the passengers on the plane were sleeping, including Lin Yuan. When he woke up, he saw Fu Cheng looking outside the window at the night sky.
He reached out and tugged on Fu Cheng’s sleeve and asked softly: “Fu Cheng, what are you looking at?”
Fu Cheng remained still for a moment before he withdrew his sight and looked at Lin Yuan. He quietly pulled the blanket over their heads and his slender fingers clasped the back of Lin Yuan’s head and he kissed the other eagerly. Lin Yuan felt a little uncomfortable with their sitting posture while kissing, but he still encircled Fu Cheng’s neck as usual and responded seriously.
At an altitude of 8,000 meters, above was the infinite cosmos, and below was the struggle of humanity. Between heaven and earth, they left a kiss.
The kiss didn’t last long. When Fu Cheng withdrew, he pecked Lin Yuan’s dimples and said hoarsely: “Thank you……”
“Thank you for always accompanying me.”
“Thank you for liking me……”
Lin Yuan was a little lightheaded from the kiss, and he smiled: “It’s not ‘thank you for liking me, but ‘happy that you like me’.”
The teenager agreed: “En, I’m really happy that you like me.”
The next day, they both went to school to fill out their list of colleges. Fu Cheng scored extremely well on the exam, even better than in the plot. He was the number one in the city and number one in the province. Many colleges called him to recruit him.
In the plot, Fu Cheng would list the top college as his choice, so that he could attract more attention from the public. But at this time, he was a little hesitant. Lin Yuan did well on the exam, but not well enough to get into the top college. But Fu Cheng wanted to be in the same school and major as Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan saw through his thoughts and held the other’s hand and kissed it: “I want a smart husband from the best college. Fu Cheng, go where you should go.”
Fu Cheng gripped Lin Yuan’s hand and his eyes were slightly sour.
Even though he didn’t have parents, even though his past was a mess, he had someone he liked, and he had a future to look forward to.
He filled in the form.
Fu Cheng and Lin Yuan left the school side by side. When they passed by the milk tea store at the gate, Lin Yuan remembered Fu Cheng’s tricks at the beginning and intentionally hooked the other’s pinky and said: “Fu Cheng~ I want to drink milk tea, hot tea, ten cups~”
Fu Cheng looked at the teenager who smiled like a fox and understood the other’s thoughts. He was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller, his face immediately fell.
It was his father.
