The shock lasted until something foreign entered his mouth. Their tongues tangled together. Bai Mu Ning froze for a moment, confused. Why were there two tongues in his mouth?
Realizing what was happening, he stared at Wen Jing in horror. He struggled with both hands, trying to push him away.
How could he use his tongue? Weren’t they just biting their lips earlier?
Could this tongue leave already?
Bai Mu Ning could only accept kisses where lips simply touched. But now, Wen Jing’s tongue was invading his mouth, making it hard to even breathe.
His dazed mind forgot how to breathe, and his cheeks turned red from holding it in. His body began to collapse from weakness.
He wanted to escape, but his wrists were pinned, his chin held in place. He was like a fish on a chopping board with no way to break free.
Wen Jing was fierce and forceful, not giving him any room to dodge. He held him tightly and plundered the air from his lungs.

Wen Jing pulled him into his arms and patted his back. “No rush, take your time.”
Nestled in Wen Jing’s embrace, Bai Mu Ning felt an overwhelming sense of security. His panic slowly calmed, and he began to seriously think about their relationship moving forward.
He was in the right. Only if Wen Jing were with him could he cut ties with the other side.
So why was he hesitating? What was he afraid of?
However long Bai Mu Ning took to think, Wen Jing held him just as long. He didn’t rush him, only waited patiently.
As his heartbeat gradually steadied, Bai Mu Ning’s thoughts became clearer. He asked, “Where did you go yesterday?”
“I confessed to you, but you left me to go find someone else. Do you know how hurt I was?”
Even now, thinking about it made his heart ache and feel stifled. The idea that he wasn’t as important as a lover hit him hard.
Bai Mu Ning had always been confident, but he kept suffering setbacks with Wen Jing. Even though he always claimed to be thick-skinned, what normal person could take two rejections?
He also wanted to save face.
Wen Jing began explaining patiently, “Yesterday, something urgent came up. I had to meet someone to help them with a problem. I’m sorry for neglecting your feelings.”
“Who was that person?”
Wen Jing wasn’t being very specific, and Bai Mu Ning wasn’t going to let it slide. He pressed further.
He pushed Wen Jing away and switched into interrogation mode. Some things needed to be made clear; he couldn’t just let it remain vague.
Wen Jing sat on the sofa, while Bai Mu Ning sat on the coffee table facing him, eyes locked. He placed one foot on the sofa, full of presence.
“I met with a family member. The specifics are inconvenient to share. It’s someone else’s privacy after all.”
Wen Jing spoke slowly, watching Bai Mu Ning as he straightened up and gently took his hand. He said unhurriedly, “I’m sorry for leaving you to go see someone else. Xiao Ning, don’t be mad.”
Family member, my ass. It was clearly his lover.
Wen Jing had turned bad; he was actually lying now.
Bai Mu Ning knew Wen Jing was lying, but he couldn’t call him out on it. All he could do was clench his teeth in anger.
“I’m very angry. I don’t want to talk to you.”
He said it while trying to stand up and move aside, ready to toss Wen Jing a cold “please leave” like it was nothing.
You want to date me? Then date me properly. Do college boys not have pride?
But then again, he couldn’t push too far. His goal was to date Wen Jing after all. If he drove him away for real, he’d end up having to coax him back.
So he needed to strike a balance; vent his anger while still keeping Wen Jing on a leash.
That was a bit tricky.
Wen Jing pulled him back by the wrist, making him sit on his lap.
Bai Mu Ning was distracted and only realized the inappropriateness of the position after he was already seated. This was way too intimate!
He tried to get up but was held down. Bai Mu Ning could only brace himself on the back of the sofa to maintain as much distance as possible.
At this angle, he was slightly taller than Wen Jing and could look down at him.
He could clearly see the fresh stubble growing on Wen Jing’s chin.
Normally, Wen Jing was meticulous about grooming. He’d shave his stubble completely clean.
What could’ve troubled him so much that he even neglected his appearance?
“Did you drink?” Wen Jing wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him closer.
The pressure against his neck was firm. They were nearly kissing again.
Thinking about Wen Jing’s earlier kiss, a faint blush spread across Bai Mu Ning’s cheeks, and his heartbeat quickened.
He actually forgot all his internal calculations and obediently answered Wen Jing’s question.
“I had a glass of beer.”
“Why did you drink?”
Bai Mu Ning felt a bit wronged. Wen Jing was clearly pretending not to know. How could he not know why he drank?
“Because I was angry. I felt awful.” As he spoke, Bai Mu Ning bit Wen Jing’s lip, venting his frustration.
He had no sense of how hard he bit, only when the taste of iron spread in his mouth did he let go.
Propping himself up against the back of the sofa, Bai Mu Ning fully sobered up. He hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
He really didn’t intend to bite so hard. Wen Jing’s lip was bleeding at the corner, and Bai Mu Ning immediately felt distressed. “Let me blow on it.”
He blew on it a couple of times. Wen Jing grasped Bai Mu Ning’s flustered hand and asked, “Still angry?”
Bai Mu Ning didn’t answer and chose to stay silent.
Wen Jing took his hand and brought it toward his own face. Bai Mu Ning yanked his hand back in alarm. “What are you doing?”
“If you’re angry, you can hit me to vent, but don’t say things like you’re done chasing me or you’re going to find someone else. I don’t like hearing that.”
“Still angry?”
Bai Mu Ning quickly shook his head and said he wasn’t angry anymore. He didn’t dare hit people, especially since the opposite side was Wen Jing. That face was so good-looking. If he punched it until it was all bruised and swollen, how was he supposed to admire it?
“Then can we talk properly now?”
Wen Jing said, “Today it’s my turn to ask. Bai Mu Ning, do you want to date me?”
Bai Mu Ning had always been the one to confess. This was the first time Wen Jing confessed, and Bai Mu Ning felt both surprised and smug.
He had won.
Heh, too easy.
So what if there was a lover? That was in the past; he was the new beginning. In the end, Wen Jing still chose him.
All the gloomy feelings vanished, and a bright smile spread across his face. Bai Mu Ning said crisply, “Who wants to date you?”
Bai Mu Ning started acting all high and mighty. Now that the initiative was in his hands, he wouldn’t agree to Wen Jing so easily.
Wen Jing wrapped his arms around Bai Mu Ning’s waist and hugged him a little tighter, fearing that the person would run away. “Then what will it take for you to agree?”
Bai Mu Ning thought for a moment and said, “I like smart people. I also like people who can recite pi to over 1,000 digits. If you can do that, I’ll say yes.”
The first time he confessed to Wen Jing, Wen Jing had rejected him with pi. Now, the tables had turned. It was his turn to call the shots.
Feeling proud, Bai Mu Ning looked at Wen Jing smugly, pinched his chin, and said teasingly, “Serves you right for rejecting me back then. Now it’s your turn to suffer.”
Let him try it too, taste what it felt like.
After getting rejected by Wen Jing the first time, Bai Mu Ning had actually tried to memorize pi. But 1,000 digits was way too long; he couldn’t even make it past 100.
Seriously, who would be bored enough to memorize it up to 1,000 digits?
“Do you mean it?” Wen Jing asked calmly. Bai Mu Ning frowned slightly, wondering: Surely Wen Jing wasn’t that bored that he actually memorized it?
Very soon, Wen Jing made him realize just how bored a person could truly be. There really were people who could recite pi to 1,000 digits.
Bai Mu Ning didn’t know how long he had been listening, but his head started to ache. He quickly called for a stop. “Alright, I’m convinced. You win.”
He gave a big thumbs up, completely convinced and impressed.
He used to think Wen Jing had used pi as an excuse to mess with him. But now, thinking about it, maybe Wen Jing had genuinely thought it was a normal thing.
“So what’s our relationship now?” Wen Jing stared at him with his beautiful phoenix eyes, waiting for Bai Mu Ning to give it a name.
“From now on, we’re a couple.” As soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Mu Ning felt his cheeks burn like fire, and his voice softened.
That counted as officially confirming their relationship, that Wen Jing was now his boyfriend.
But what about the other lover?
Bai Mu Ning shifted to straddle him, grabbed Wen Jing by the collar, and laid down three ground rules. Though to him, the word “warning” felt more appropriate.
“Wen Jing, I don’t care what you were doing before. From now on, you’re mine, and you’re not allowed to be two-timing.”
“Your heart can only have me. You’re not allowed to think about anyone else. If you do, I’ll dump you.”
Listening to Bai Mu Ning’s harsh words, Wen Jing was in a great mood and said, “Mm, whatever you say, boyfriend.”
Today, Wen Jing was unusually obedient. Whatever Bai Mu Ning said, he agreed to.
That gave Bai Mu Ning the courage to bring up that kiss again.
“When you kiss me next time, be gentle. Don’t… do that… I don’t like it.”
The words “stick your tongue out” were too embarrassing to say. Bai Mu Ning couldn’t get them out, so he replaced them with that, but he trusted Wen Jing would understand.
He had no idea what was going on with Wen Jing; he suddenly seemed dumb. With a blank expression, he asked, “What? Don’t do what?”
“It’s,” Bai Mu Ning racked his brain trying to find a replacement phrase, but after a long struggle, he couldn’t come up with anything suitable. In the end, he could only demonstrate it.
“It’s just that a kiss is enough. Don’t do unnecessary things. Like this.” Bai Mu Ning gave Wen Jing a quick peck on the lips, light as a dragonfly skimming water, brief and swift.
Wen Jing frowned in confusion. “Then how did I kiss you?”
Bai Mu Ning sighed, thinking Wen Jing really was dense. He couldn’t even remember how he kissed someone. Did he really need a demonstration?
“Hmph, let me show you what a wolf pouncing on prey looks like.” Bai Mu Ning rolled up his sleeves, firmly pressed down on Wen Jing’s shoulders, and lowered his head to kiss him.
He nibbled on Wen Jing’s lips and slipped his tongue out to tease along the seam. When Wen Jing parted his lips slightly, Bai Mu Ning took the chance to slip inside.
He mimicked Wen Jing’s earlier aggression, slowly taking over territory that didn’t belong to him.
At first, it was a little clumsy, but soon Bai Mu Ning got the hang of it. He began sweeping up saliva, tangling their tongues together.
To his surprise, Bai Mu Ning realized he didn’t actually dislike kissing. In fact, once he started enjoying it, he felt a little euphoric.
Especially seeing Wen Jing breathless and dazed under his assault, it made Bai Mu Ning feel absolutely triumphant.
So this was what kissing was like?
Alright, he didn’t really hate it.
He was about to go even further when his shoulders were gripped and gently pushed back. Wen Jing’s voice was low and hoarse: “Enough… you don’t need to demonstrate anymore. I get it. If you don’t like it, I won’t kiss you like that.”
“…?”
Can I take that back?
Bai Mu Ning still felt a little unsatisfied. He licked his lips, already regretting having said he didn’t like it.
Wasn’t this just shooting himself in the foot?
Wanting to reclaim a bit of boyfriend authority, he had just opened his mouth when Wen Jing beat him to it. “It’s getting late. Go rest, boyfriend.”
As he spoke, he held Bai Mu Ning by the butt and gently set him down on the sofa.
Bai Mu Ning was completely dazed. The sensation on his pp felt different. Not exactly unpleasant, in fact, it made him a little excited. What was up with that?
“Get some rest. I’ll head out first.”
Wen Jing stood up, and Bai Mu Ning wanted to pull him back and kiss him again. But Wen Jing dodged slightly, suppressing a smile at the corners of his lips. “Didn’t you say you didn’t like it? What are you doing now?”
“…?”
If it weren’t for the barely restrained grin on Wen Jing’s lips, Bai Mu Ning might’ve actually believed his poor act.
Pretending to be dumb and forgetting how to kiss, it was all part of his scheme. That dog man was totally black-bellied!
But even knowing it was a setup, Bai Mu Ning still couldn’t resist wanting to chase that intoxicating, euphoric feeling again.
“You’re my boyfriend. What’s wrong with kissing you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mu Ning gave Wen Jing no chance to play coy. He leaned in and kissed him directly.
Wen Jing only stayed passive for a few seconds before flipping their positions, pressing Bai Mu Ning down onto the sofa, and taking full control.
Their breathing grew shallow. Bai Mu Ning started trying to match Wen Jing’s rhythm, and a certain part of his body, awakened by the overwhelming pleasure, slowly began to stir.
Bai Mu Ning thought, could it be that he actually liked men?
