It's Hard Being the Bad Guy

Chapter 19

After returning home, Xu Changzhou prepared a sobering soup for Wen Ai. After coaxing him to drink it, he helped him take a bath, dressed him in pajamas, and tucked him into bed.

Completing this series of tasks left Xu Changzhou sweaty. He intended to take a bath, but while he was on the balcony fetching his underwear, he returned to find Wen Ai, who should have been in bed, crouched in the corner of the bathroom, hugging his knees. Upon seeing Xu Changzhou, he innocently blinked his eyes.

The bathroom floor was covered in water, and Xu Changzhou quickly walked over, lifting Wen Ai up. He felt the wetness on Wen Ai's pants and decided to take him back to the bedroom to change. However, Wen Ai stubbornly refused to move, sitting on the bathroom floor and pressing his bottom against the wet tiles.

Concerned about hurting him, Xu Changzhou reluctantly released his grip. Wen Ai continued to sit on the wet floor, stubbornly keeping his posture. Xu Changzhou kneeled down in front of him, asking, "Why do you want to stay here?"

Wen Ai replied seriously, "We mushrooms just like to grow in damp places."

Amused by his response, Xu Changzhou patted his head and said, "Alright, then stay here for a while."

Deciding that forcibly moving the 'mushroom' might lead to more trouble, Xu Changzhou opted to finish his shower first. Later, he could bring Wen Ai back to bed where a quick cuddle would likely lull him to sleep.

With his back to Wen Ai, Xu Changzhou began undressing. His earlier efforts in bathing Wen Ai had left him aroused. Now, as he removed his underwear, his erect lower body immediately sprung forth. Thinking about Wen Ai potentially watching him from behind, Xu Changzhou's lower abdomen tensed with anticipation.

Just then, a surprised voice from below exclaimed, "Huh?! Are you also a mushroom?"

Xu Changzhou quickly lowered his head, realizing that Wen Ai had squatted down at his feet at some point. Wen Ai, with wide eyes, pointed at Xu Changzhou's lower body, asking, "What species are you? How come I've never seen this type before?"

"It's not a mushroom," Xu Changzhou awkwardly wrapped a nearby towel around himself and gestured towards the corner where Wen Ai had been squatting earlier. "Darling, be good, go wait over there."

"No!" Wen Ai shook his head, reaching out to grab the towel. "Let me see, I want to study it."

Xu Changzhou swiftly caught his hand, and after some futile struggling, Wen Ai plopped onto the floor, wiggling his legs like a little motor, and started acting stubbornly. "You're hiding something good from me! If you're wary of me, then I won't like you anymore!"

With folded arms, Wen Ai glared at Xu Changzhou, displaying an air of determination not to let this matter go. Xu Changzhou sighed and, in resignation, loosened the towel around his waist.

Wen Ai immediately knelt up, directing his head towards the area between Xu Changzhou's legs, breathing on the robust mushroom-shaped appendage. Then, he proceeded to touch it with his hand.

"It's smooth," Wen Ai said with a fascinated expression, his eyes narrowing in pleasure. "Feels really comfortable."

Xu Changzhou's scalp tingled, his breath becoming heavier. Suppressing his desire, he let Wen Ai explore for a while before pulling him up, his voice hoarse, "Alright, go wait over there for a bit."

"No," Wen Ai wasn't done playing, clinging to Xu Changzhou's thigh, resting his head against it. Playfully, he licked the nearby mushroom, saying, "Hmm, why is your mushroom salty, and it has a fishy taste? Blegh!"

"Ugh," Xu Changzhou's eyes reddened. He was reluctant to stop Wen Ai even under normal circumstances, and now, he was even more unwilling to take advantage of him while he was unaware. He gritted his teeth, turned on the shower, and used cold water to quell the heat within him.
