With impure intentions, Xiao Chiye raided and seized Shen Zechuan’s lips and tongue, throwing Shen Zechuan’s mind into chaos as he was kissed until he could not breathe for air. As the time ticked by, his tightly clenched fingers slowly lost their strength.

Being unable to catch his breath caused Shen Zechuan to feel vaguely dizzy. In this murky gray narrowness, he fell prey to the net Xiao Chiye’s set as a trap. He seemed to sink deeper into the water in which he was drowning as the sensation of suffocation intensified. Xiao Chiye kept him in captivity in his arms, holding in his struggles, thereby making himself the one and only person Shen Zechuan could rely on at this very moment.

Yu Xiaozai moved to the side of the bed again, his shoes shuffling right beside both men.

The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out outside. Chen Yang said, “So Your Excellency the Censor is here! Please come with this humble servant. Your Excellency is needed to personally look through the documents found in the study.”

Thus, Yu Xiaozai followed him out with the document under his arm. He asked, “Where is His Excellency the Judge?”

Chen Yang did not dare to look around the room. He led Yu Xiaozai out and said as he shut the door, “His Excellency the Judge was drinking tea at the duty office room earlier. He should be on the way here right now.”

Yu Xiaozai asked, “Didn’t His Excellency come over way earlier?”

Chen Yang replied,” It’s so freezing cold. He will only feel refreshed and energized if he drinks a cup of tea to warm up…”

They moved farther away into the distance. Only then did Xiao Chiye leave Shen Zechuan’s lips a little.

Lying beneath him, Shen Zechuan recovered his breath. His almost blanked-out eyes were lowered. As he swallowed the saliva, his throat bobbed in tandem with the fall and rise of his chest. His lips had been kissed until they had gone bright red and moist. This bout of kiss near about ended him.

Xiao Chiye was gasping for breath too.

Shen Zechuan reached a hand out from under the bed. He made to get out and said, “You—this—”  

Xiao Chiye extended a hand to grab his outstretched wrist, pressed the tip of his nose against him, and kissed him once more.

The last time, Shen Zechuan had said that Xiao Chiye was “ravenously gorging himself”. The latter obviously bore a grudge with him for this. This time, Xiao Chiye “took his time savoring and devouring” as he played around with the kiss, cutting off Shen Zechuan’s voice that rang out intermittently and dissolving his words between their intermingling tongues before making him swallow them all back into his tummy.

It was a little less than an hour later when Yu Xiaozai saw Shen Zechuan again. He stepped forth to pay his obeisances and turned pale with alarm. Deeply concerned, he asked, “Your Excellency, this…” 

“Got scalded.” Shen Zechuan replied expressionlessly. 

The Imperial Bodyguards nearby were still flipping through that extensive library of books. Ge Qingqing came over and shook his head at Shen Zechuan.

They were originally just here to go through the motions. Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Zechuan said to Yu Xiaozai, “The checks here are almost done, so why don’t you and I head for the office compound first to report back to His Excellency Fu.”
