Chapter 60
Two minutes later, Liang Jinyi pulled back slightly from Jiang Mi, breathing heavily.
“Brother, you were right. Kissing really isn’t something you do with your mouth by talking.”
Jiang Mi turned his head slightly and took a couple of breaths before cursing in the same rough voice, “All right. Get off me.”
Liang Jinyi stared at Jiang Mi’s damp lips, his gaze darkening further.
In a hoarse voice, he said, “I don’t want to.”
Then he leaned in again.
Jiang Mi had never been pinned down and kissed before.
And although Liang Jinyi’s kisses were rough, almost as though he wanted to steal every last breath from Jiang Mi’s body, strangely enough, Jiang Mi really did experience a pleasure he had never felt before in those kisses filled with plunder and possessiveness.
Jiang Mi had always believed he possessed exceptional self-control.
But at this moment, he had to admit that men really could be controlled by primal desire.
So when Liang Jinyi finally pulled away again after who knew how long, Jiang Mi actually felt a faint reluctance to let it end.
Fine beads of sweat had formed on Liang Jinyi’s forehead. The tip of his nose and his cheeks were flushed red.
His finger landed on Jiang Mi’s lips, and scorching heat seemed to rise from his throat.
“Brother, your lips are so red.”
Almost the instant the words left his mouth, someone suddenly grabbed the collar of his school uniform.
Before Liang Jinyi could react, Jiang Mi abruptly flipped them over and sat astride him.
Two minutes later, Jiang Mi, still sitting on Liang Jinyi’s thighs, pulled back slightly.
His long-knuckled fingers rubbed firmly over his younger brother’s lips.
Breathing heavily, he gave a low laugh.
“Little brother, your lips don’t look much better than mine right now.”
Jiang Mi got up in his wrinkled suit.
But just then, Liang Jinyi tugged him again, and Jiang Mi fell back onto his younger brother’s thighs.
This time, Liang Jinyi did not kiss him.
His strong palm held Jiang Mi’s waist.
The hem of his school uniform had ridden up during their earlier struggle, exposing part of his waist.
He stared into Jiang Mi’s eyes and suddenly asked something Jiang Mi had not expected.
“Brother, are we really dating now?”
Jiang Mi froze.
He had not expected Liang Jinyi to be this uncertain.
After all, from the way he had pursued him, Liang Jinyi had always seemed completely convinced that Jiang Mi would eventually become his boyfriend.
“What do you think, boyfriend?”
At that moment, Jiang Mi’s voice softened.
Liang Jinyi’s eyes immediately lit up.
The corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.
Then, looking at Jiang Mi so close to him, he could not help lowering his head again.
Unlike the forceful, predatory kisses from before, this kiss was gentler than the evening breeze of spring.
Jiang Mi lifted his chin slightly and returned the kiss that was softer than the spring wind.
But soon, Liang Jinyi seemed dissatisfied with such a brief, gentle taste.
His movements became fierce again.
Jiang Mi had never been the type to passively endure plunder or invasion.
Since his younger brother was kissing him so aggressively, Jiang Mi had to admit that while gentle kisses with Jinyi felt comfortable, this kind of fierce kiss also carried a kind of—
A kind of pleasure that made his entire body shudder.
Jiang Mi wrapped an arm around the back of Liang Jinyi’s neck and kissed him back without the slightest courtesy.
Both of them were forceful and insatiable, taking and claiming inside each other’s mouths.
The distinct sound of their kisses echoed through the spacious living room.
Until both of them were struggling to breathe.
But neither showed any intention of backing down, so neither stopped.
In the end, Jiang Mi was the first to reach his limit.
He pulled away and buried his face against Liang Jinyi’s shoulder.
A dark, ambiguous damp patch spread across the blue-and-white school uniform as Jiang Mi drew in deep breaths.
Liang Jinyi was also breathing hard.
He turned his head and stared at the back of Jiang Mi’s head, then laughed breathlessly.
“Brother, your stamina is terrible.”
Jiang Mi sat upright.
Looking at Liang Jinyi’s visibly flushed cheeks, he reached out and patted his face.
“Little brother, I only pulled away because I was worried you were about to suffocate. Understand?”
With that, Jiang Mi stepped back and stood up from Liang Jinyi’s firm thighs.
He loosened the black tie that was now beyond saving and tossed out a sentence as he walked toward the bedroom.
“All right. Go do your test papers.”
Liang Jinyi stood as well.
His clothes and trousers were covered in countless wrinkles.
He followed behind Jiang Mi.
“Brother, what are you doing now?”
Seeing Jiang Mi take off the suit jacket that would need a long session of ironing before it could be worn again, then open the wardrobe to look for pajamas, Liang Jinyi shamelessly said, “Brother, are you taking a shower? I can help you.”
Jiang Mi took out a set of gray cotton pajamas.
He glanced at his younger brother, whose nose, eyes, cheeks, lips, neck, and even ears were all flushed red.
Without hesitation, he refused.
“Thanks, but no.”
Then Jiang Mi walked into the bathroom.
Bang.
The bathroom door shut tightly.
—
Ever since Jiang Mi’s birthday, Liang Jinyi and Jiang Mi had begun dating.
Every day during his lunch break, Liang Jinyi would send Jiang Mi messages.
Today was no exception.
After Jiang Mi and Gu Yuan ordered lunch at the fast-food restaurant downstairs from their office building, Jiang Mi opened his phone.
Sure enough, there was a message from Liang Jinyi.
Liang Jinyi: [Brother, I really like you.]
Of course, Jiang Mi had received messages like this from Liang Jinyi before.
Usually, he pretended not to see them.
Or, when Liang Jinyi bombarded him with so many messages that he had no choice, Jiang Mi would find some way to change the subject.
Today, however, he looked at the message several times.
His long fingers rested on the phone.
Jiang Mi: [I know.]
Liang Jinyi: [cat making a heart.jpg]
In the blink of an eye, it was seven in the evening.
“All right, Liang Jinyi. How am I supposed to wash dishes like this?”
The auntie had cooked several fairly light dishes tonight.
Including the bowls used by Jiang Mi and Liang Jinyi, there were not many dishes, so Jiang Mi could not be bothered using the dishwasher.
He put on an apron and stood at the sink washing them.
He had not even been washing for five seconds when Liang Jinyi, who had been standing by the kitchen’s sliding door watching him, moved behind him.
“How does this stop you from washing dishes?”
Liang Jinyi stood behind Jiang Mi and lowered his head.
His warm breath spilled over Jiang Mi’s neck.
He reached out and wantonly rubbed Jiang Mi’s earlobe.
“I’m not playing with Brother’s hands.”
Jiang Mi took a deep breath.
Then he lowered his head and continued washing the dishes.
Under Liang Jinyi’s harassment, Jiang Mi finally managed to wash a few more.
His phone, lying on the dining table, began to ring.
Jiang Mi nudged Liang Jinyi behind him with his elbow.
“Go bring me my phone.”
Liang Jinyi’s gaze fell on Jiang Mi’s earlobe.
Seeing the faint crimson gradually spreading across it, he answered without thinking, “Let it ring a little longer.”
Then he wrapped his arms around Jiang Mi’s waist and rested his head on Jiang Mi’s shoulder.
“Brother, hurry up and finish washing.”
Jiang Mi cleaned the last few dishes and set them on the counter.
The call that had just ended automatically began ringing a second time.
Jiang Mi motioned for Liang Jinyi to let go.
Liang Jinyi stubbornly shook his head.
Jiang Mi had no choice but to walk into the dining room in that position.
He pulled out a tissue, dried his hands, and picked up his phone.
Seeing Dad on the caller ID, Jiang Mi turned his head and warned Liang Jinyi to behave before answering.
“Little Mi, why didn’t you answer just now?” Father Jiang asked.
“I didn’t notice.”
Jiang Mi changed the subject.
“Dad, what is it?”
“Your eldest uncle just called me. Your grandfather fell and fractured a bone. He’s in the hospital. I’m planning to go back to Yun City tomorrow morning. Do you want to come with me?”
Jiang Mi’s expression turned serious.
“Is Grandpa badly hurt?”
Father Jiang sighed.
“It’s not too serious, but your grandfather is eighty this year. I’m worried.”
Jiang Mi thought for a moment.
“I’ll go with you.”
“Okay. I’ll buy our tickets now,” Father Jiang said.
Liang Jinyi had been leaning against Jiang Mi’s shoulder the whole time and heard the entire conversation clearly.
After Jiang Mi ended the call, he let go.
“Brother, you’re going back to Yun City?”
“Mm. I’m going back with my dad to visit my grandfather.”
Liang Jinyi frowned.
“But we didn’t have a date last week, and this week…”
Under Jiang Mi’s increasingly cold gaze, Liang Jinyi wrapped his arms around Jiang Mi’s neck and said aggrievedly, “Brother, I only want to go back to Yun City with you to visit Grandpa and Grandma.”
Jiang Mi sighed and soothed him.
“Jinyi, your college entrance examination is in June. And don’t you have a monthly exam next week?”
His voice softened.
“Be good. Stay home these two days and study properly.”
Liang Jinyi dragged out, “Brother…”
Jiang Mi said nothing.
Liang Jinyi knew Jiang Mi would not compromise.
He pulled back and asked, “Then can we go on a date next week?”
Jiang Mi thought about it.
There was nothing wrong with relaxing occasionally.
He nodded.
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll take Brother to the airport tomorrow,” Liang Jinyi said.
Father Jiang had bought tickets for the earliest flight from Bei City to Yun City the next morning.
The flight was at six.
The airport was some distance from the Jiang residence, and Jiang Mi also needed to return to Hongfeng Road to pick up his father.
So Jiang Mi woke up at three-thirty in the morning.
He and Liang Jinyi had not slept in the same bedroom.
Although Jiang Mi had agreed the night before to let Liang Jinyi drive him, he had not intended to wake him at three-thirty.
Being in the final year of high school was already exhausting.
Although Liang Jinyi had more energy than most people, he was still a teenager whose body was growing.
Jiang Mi quietly washed up in the master bedroom bathroom, gently changed clothes, pulled his suitcase toward the door, and opened it.
Liang Jinyi was just about to turn the handle from the other side.
Seeing the door open, he yawned and smiled sweetly.
“Brother, let’s go. I’ll take you to the airport.”
Yun City was a third-tier city in the southwest.
Its airport had only been built three or four years ago.
Jiang Mi’s grandparents had not originally lived in the city proper.
They had lived in a town.
Over the past few years, as their health gradually declined, and since Jiang Mi’s eldest and second uncles both lived in the city, his grandparents had moved to Yun City to live with their eldest son’s family.
After Jiang Mi and Father Jiang landed, they took a taxi straight to Yun City People’s Hospital.
Grandfather Jiang’s fracture was not particularly severe.
But elderly people often suffered from osteoporosis and significant bone decalcification.
He also had underlying conditions such as high blood pressure.
The doctor recommended keeping him in the hospital for observation for a few days.
Jiang Mi saw his grandfather at the hospital.
He and Father Jiang spent most of the day there.
In the afternoon, Jiang Mi’s cousin, the eldest son of his eldest uncle, came to stay overnight.
So Jiang Mi and Father Jiang returned to his eldest uncle’s home.
Father Jiang had lived in Bei City for many years, but he had always been close to his two older brothers.
The relatives also got along well.
When they learned that Father Jiang and Jiang Mi had returned, Jiang Mi’s second uncle in Yun City, along with several cousins, all came over.
They had a lively dinner that evening.
Afterward, Grandmother Jiang finally let Jiang Mi go and pulled her youngest son aside to ask him endless questions, since she had not seen him in more than two months.
Jiang Mi finally had some time to himself.
He took his phone from his coat pocket.
The last time he had chatted with Liang Jinyi had been four or five hours ago, when they exchanged a few brief messages on the way back to his eldest uncle’s home.
During that long gap, Liang Jinyi had sent more than ten messages.
They included photos of the chemistry workbook he had finished, his English test paper, his Chinese test paper, and his dinner that evening.
Jiang Mi lowered his head and smiled as he replied.
After a while, his cousin Jiang Ru called his name.
Jiang Mi looked up.
Jiang Ru was his eldest uncle’s second daughter and two years older than Jiang Mi.
She was married and had children, but still had a youthful personality.
She winked at Jiang Mi and asked in an exaggerated tone, “Little Mi, are you chatting with your partner? The corners of your mouth are practically reaching the sky.”
“My mouth isn’t…”
Halfway through speaking, Jiang Mi froze.
He asked his cousin, “Sister Ru, did I really look like I was chatting with a partner just now?”
“Obviously. Why else would you be smiling that happily?”
Jiang Ru reached for a banana from the coffee table.
Hearing her certainty, Jiang Mi’s heart suddenly beat faster.
He thought about how he had felt while chatting with Jinyi just now.
It had indeed been relaxing.
Pleasant.
He had even felt anticipation before seeing Jinyi’s messages.
Jiang Mi cursed himself inwardly.
He was dating Jinyi to fulfill Jinyi’s wish.
Not to satisfy his own desires.
His own desires…
At that thought, Jiang Mi’s heartbeat suddenly became erratic.
His phone screen lit up again.
Liang Jinyi had sent another message asking whether he had gotten busy again and why he had stopped replying.
Jiang Mi put down the phone and said to his cousin, “An employee just told me one of our collaborations is progressing smoothly. I was happy about that.”
Jiang Ru made a surprised sound.
“That shouldn’t be right. I’ve caught so many teenage couples.”
Jiang Ru taught Chinese at a middle school in Yun City.
“Teacher Jiang, looks like your judgment is getting worse,” Jiang Mi said.
Jiang Ru wailed dramatically.
“Ah, I’m getting old. My eyes don’t work anymore.”
Jiang Mi did not reply to Liang Jinyi until before bed.
The next day, he still did not spend much time chatting with him.
Jiang Mi had work on Monday.
His grandfather’s injury was not severe, and there were people to care for him.
So Jiang Mi bought a flight back to Bei City for Sunday afternoon.
Father Jiang planned to stay a few more days and return after Grandfather Jiang was discharged.
At ten on Sunday night, Jiang Mi returned to Shimao Tingfang.
The moment he opened the door, Liang Jinyi heard the sound and quickly came over.
He helped drag Jiang Mi’s small suitcase back into the room and asked whether he was tired or thirsty.
After Jiang Mi answered no to both, Liang Jinyi pulled him close and lowered his head to kiss him.
Jiang Mi raised an arm and covered Liang Jinyi’s lips with his palm.
Liang Jinyi looked at him unhappily.
“Brother.”
Jiang Mi sighed.
“Little brother, do you know Bei City had a dust storm today?”
After saying that, Jiang Mi felt as though his entire body was covered in dust.
He turned toward the bathroom.
“I’m taking a shower first.”
But he had only taken one step when Liang Jinyi pulled him back.
Over the past few days, they had kissed several times.
Both of them had become increasingly skilled.
The only problem was that Liang Jinyi never knew how to control himself.
Even if a kiss did not begin intensely, it would always end with him taking wildly, as though he wanted to swallow the person kissing him whole.
He even seemed dissatisfied with kissing while standing.
His hands suddenly gripped Jiang Mi’s thighs.
He lifted his brother up and placed him on the gray-brown storage cabinet behind them, then continued kissing him insatiably.
Several minutes later, standing between Jiang Mi’s thighs, he pulled back until only a tiny distance remained between their noses.
His eyes shone brightly.
“Brother, did you miss me these past two days?”
The bedroom’s ceiling light was very bright.
Sitting on the dresser, Jiang Mi could clearly see the undisguised expectation in the young man’s eyes.
At that moment, Jiang Mi finally understood something.
Since he had already decided to date Jinyi, why should he care so much about the reason he was dating him?
He made Jinyi happy.
And he himself was experiencing a kind of joy he had never felt before.
Wasn’t that good?
At that thought, Jiang Mi stopped hesitating.
He grabbed the collar of Liang Jinyi’s light-blue hoodie and pulled him forcefully closer.
Several minutes later, obvious moisture glistened at the corners of Jiang Mi’s lips.
Looking at Liang Jinyi, whose lips were equally wet, Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow.
“What do you think, Jinyi?”
