184: Extra Story 2 – Tang Daxia x Liu Fengyu
Tang Yanqiu held onto Liu Fengyu as they soared into the sky. The moon was faint, and stars sparsely scattered. All around was pitch-black. Looking down, even with Liu Fengyu’s vision, it was impossible to estimate the exact distance from the ground. Liu Fengyu struggled vigorously in his embrace, exclaiming, “What the hell, put me down!”
“Now? You want to fall to your death?”
“Can this height even kill me?” Although he couldn’t fly, he wasn’t afraid of plummeting from high altitudes.
“Behave, I’m taking you back.”
“I’m not going back! Are you deaf or something? I’m not taking Xiao Deng with me. I can go on my own, and you have no say in it!”
Tang Yanqiu’s expression stiffened, and he landed on a large tree. This tree was a famous landmark in the center of Beijing. Growing over two hundred meters tall, it had become an iconic sight. Such trees were common in the Devil Pine Forest, but relatively rare within the city. Tang Yanqiu tossed Liu Fengyu onto the tree trunk, which was as thick as a single bed.

“Damn it, being genuine is that noble? Who knows, maybe I’ll find true love if I play around for a night.” Liu Fengyu was so angry at the sight of Tang Yanqiu that he wanted to bite him. Taking a deep breath, he jumped down from the tree trunk. Tang Yanqiu grabbed his arm and pulled him back, forcefully pinning him against the trunk. He said sternly, “I’ll say it again, stay put!”
“Why, Tang Yanqiu? Are you jealous?”
A flicker of panic passed through Tang Yanqiu’s eyes, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Liu Fengyu snorted coldly, “Then let go of me. I’m not joking. If you can’t stand me, keep your distance. You’re not my mother. What are you trying to do?”
Tang Yanqiu was at a loss for words.
“You can control me today, but not tomorrow.” Liu Fengyu glanced at Tang Yanqiu’s bloodied hand. “Go back, let Xiao xia tend to your hand.”
Tang Yanqiu didn’t release his grip. The two of them remained locked in this stalemate.
Liu Fengyu cursed in anger, “What the hell are you trying to do, Tang Yanqiu?”
Tang Yanqiu lowered his head and looked deeply at Liu Fengyu. He couldn’t fathom what he wanted to do; just the thought of Liu Fengyu going to that kind of place, then embracing a strange man or woman, naked and passionate, it repulsed him.
Will those soft lips kiss anyone? Will those unique eyes look at others affectionately? He couldn’t bear that Liu Fengyu wanted to do that with others in a place he couldn’t see! What’s going on with him?
Liu Fengyu looked at him viciously, “Tang Yanqiu, I will find ten of you tomorrow…”
Suddenly, Tang Yanqiu leaned forward and forcefully covered his mouth.
Wide-eyed, Liu Fengyu felt a gust of cold wind, and it began to sober him up.
As soon as Tang Yanqiu’s lips met his, cold sweat broke out. His lips trembled slightly. He didn’t know what to do next, but he just felt… these lips were his own.
Liu Fengyu hesitated for a few seconds, then took the initiative. He captured Tang Yanqiu’s lips, suckled and explored them, all the while keeping his eyes locked onto Tang Yanqiu’s, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.
Tang Yanqiu blushed so intensely that his face felt like it was on fire. He decided to close his eyes, stiffly following the rhythm set by Liu Fengyu, experiencing this soft, moist, and heated kiss, along with the overwhelming sensation it brought to his heart.
Liu Fengyu whispered, “Aren’t you even going to open your eyes?”
Tang Yanqiu slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes slightly moist due to nervousness. He gazed at Liu Fengyu, utterly bewildered.
Liu Fengyu embraced his neck, despite his heart pounding like a drum, trying to maintain an appearance of calm. “What’s the meaning of this, Tang the Great Hero?”
Tang Yanqiu fell silent for a few seconds before speaking softly, “Don’t… don’t go…”
“What?”
“Don’t go to that kind of place.”
“Are you trying to rescue a fallen youth?”
“No.”
“Then what is it?” Liu Fengyu felt like laughing out loud. His nose felt a little tingly. If Tang Yanqiu had dared to say “yes” to that question just now, he would have bitten this fool to death.
Tang Yanqiu looked at Liu Fengyu and said hoarsely, “If… if you like me, don’t go to that kind of place.”
“Explain yourself.”
Tang Yanqiu took a deep breath. “If you like me, be loyal to me. Don’t like anyone else, don’t touch anyone else, don’t look at anyone else. Belong only to me. If you can do that…”
Liu Fengyu trembled. “And if I can?”
“Then I can.” Tang Yanqiu gazed at him, almost anxiously. “Can you?”
Liu Fengyu chuckled softly. “Tang Yanqiu, do you like me? Tell me honestly.”
Tang Yanqiu felt flustered. He confessed honestly, “I don’t know. I shouldn’t like men, but you’re different.”
“How am I different?” Liu Fengyu held onto his neck, brushing his lips against Tang Yanqiu’s jawline. “Hmm?”
Tang Yanqiu, embarrassed, said, “I don’t know.”
Liu Fengyu had never seen a man as contradictory as Tang Yanqiu. Sometimes he was as rigid as a stone, and other times, as soft as a marshmallow. Despite that, bullying him was still so much fun, endlessly amusing. He ruffled Tang Yanqiu’s hair and whispered, “You like me, why act clueless? If you’re with me, you can’t marry a woman anymore. Have you thought about that?”
Tang Yanqiu fell silent for a moment, then nodded, hoarsely saying, “You can’t either.”
“As for me, I’m not planning to marry. I might not even live for much longer. How can I burden innocent women?” Liu Fengyu chuckled, “You too. Do you even want a wife? Don’t even mention the fact that you can’t have children now, even if you could, can you guarantee you’ll live long enough? We’re the most suitable match. If we live, we’ll live together. If we die, it’ll probably be at the same time.”
Tang Yanqiu spoke with a serious tone, “You’re right.”
Liu Fengyu cupped his face, nibbling on his crimson lower lip, fingertips grazing his smooth skin. The sweet scent mingled with the heated kiss, sending shivers down their spines.
If it weren’t for this unprecedented disaster, Liu Fengyu believed he would have never crossed paths with Tang Yanqiu in his lifetime. To be attracted to someone as rigid as him was beyond his imagination, yet he liked him. Tossing and turning, he looked back on it. Despite the fact that this person was uninteresting and traditional, he still liked him.
The blush on Tang Yanqiu’s face never faded. He propped himself up with his forearm, maintaining a distance of two to three centimeters between his chest and Liu Fengyu’s body. He wanted to get closer, yet was afraid to truly touch. He was so nervous that he broke into a sweat.
Liu Fengyu held onto his waist and pressed his body down. He chuckled, “Do you think you’re doing push-ups? Aren’t you tired?” He caressed Tang Yanqiu’s back. “I really can’t tell if you’re brave or timid. You can’t even press against me?”
Tang Yanqiu’s entire body tensed up. He was too afraid to even breathe heavily because with each breath, he could feel himself pressing against Liu Fengyu’s burning chest.
Liu Fengyu wasn’t being gentle. He slipped his hand under Tang Yanqiu’s clothes, feeling the firm muscles of his back. “Hmm, it feels good.”
Tang Yanqiu grabbed his hand and stammered, “W-we… should… go back.”
“Why the rush? It’s so comfortable here. Neither cold nor hot, and no one’s bothering us.” Liu Fengyu grinned mischievously, pressing his lips against Tang Yanqiu’s jaw. “Don’t you think we should do something?”
Tang Yanqiu said in a hushed voice, “Let’s go back. It’s late, and they must be worried.”
“Tang Yanqiu, you’re really something. Could it be that you’re actually incapable? Let me check.” As he spoke, Liu Fengyu’s hand moved toward Tang Yanqiu’s lower region, accurately finding its target.
Tang Yanqiu was shocked and nearly jumped away.
Liu Fengyu felt something in the palm of his hand gradually hardening, a size that was rather intimidating. He blinked at Tang Yanqiu and remarked, “You seem spirited.”
Tang Yanqiu gritted his teeth, saying, “Let go.”
Liu Fengyu blew air gently by his ear and asked, “Do you really want to be on top of me, or do you want me on top of you?”
Tang Yanqiu pulled his hand away, his ears turning red with embarrassment. “That’s enough, let’s go back.”
Liu Fengyu couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Teasing Tang Yanqiu had become his primary form of entertainment.
Tang Yanqiu wished he could shut that mouth up, but he had naturally thin skin. Right now, he just wanted to hurry back, retreat to his room, a place that would make him feel safer.
Unfortunately, Liu Fengyu had no intention of letting him off. He flipped over and pressed Tang Yanqiu beneath him, his voice husky, “Move again and I’ll undress you.”
Tang Yanqiu’s strong arms wrapped around Liu Fengyu’s waist, fearing he might fall off if he moved.
Liu Fengyu rested against his chest, his slender fingers tracing the contours of his perfect face, and he chuckled, “Come on, tell me, what do you like about me? Beyond my good looks, of course.”
Tang Yanqiu’s gaze flickered, he hesitated for a while, and finally managed to awkwardly utter, “I don’t know.” It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to answer; he truly didn’t know. Perhaps he had grown accustomed to Liu Fengyu’s teasing, despite repeatedly reminding himself of Liu Fengyu’s nature. He had unintentionally taken it to heart.
Once that happened, he could no longer view Liu Fengyu as an ordinary companion. Thoughts of this person stirred entirely different emotions within him. He had done things with this man that he had only imagined doing with his own wife. Regardless of whether it was voluntary at the beginning, he subconsciously regarded Liu Fengyu as his possession. For a man like him, once a territorial sense was established toward someone, he could never extricate himself.
“Why are you at a loss for words? Come on, tell me, what do you like about me? Of course, I’m handsome, smart, and capable. My charm is hard for ordinary people to resist. But I still want to hear it from you.”
Tang Yanqiu exhaled, struggling to find his words, “You… what you did with me is what spouses should do, so you…”
Liu Fengyu squinted, “Are you trying to tell me that because I’ve been intimate with you, I should take responsibility for you?”
Tang Yanqiu lowered his eyelids, his long and curled eyelashes trembling softly.
Liu Fengyu laughed helplessly, “Tang Yanqiu, you’re quite the character.”
Tang Yanqiu’s hand gently rested on his back, pressing him against his own chest. It seemed like it took a great deal of effort for him to finally say, “You… you’re important to me.”
“How important?”
“You’re a companion, someone I promised Yan Jin to protect, so you…”
Liu Fengyu twisted his ear forcefully and said with a harsh tone, “Does that have anything to do with you liking me? Can you honestly tell me what’s going on in your mind?”
Tang Yanqiu held Liu Fengyu’s head down against his chest. Because he didn’t dare look at Liu Fengyu’s face, his heartbeat was rapid, so fast that Liu Fengyu could clearly hear it. He whispered, “I like… I like you. I don’t know why, but I do.”
Liu Fengyu was taken aback for a moment. His eyes slightly reddened, and he smiled, saying, “Now that sounds more like it.”
After uttering these words, Tang Yanqiu let out a long breath and felt a bit lighter. As a descendant of the Tang Clan, he had always been cautious and followed strict codes of conduct. He had never made a mistake or caused any trouble. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, he wouldn’t have believed he could develop feelings for another man.
Even if he did, he would have restrained himself for his entire life. But things were different now. He no longer had the ability to carry on the family line, and if it wasn’t a marriage based on mutual affection, it would be completely meaningless. This paradoxically brought him a sense of liberation. He didn’t want to marry a woman he had never met, especially since he couldn’t remove Liu Fengyu from his mind.
Liu Fengyu held him tightly around the waist, lying on top of him. The two of them hung on a tree trunk two hundred meters above the ground, feeling the cool breeze on their faces and the dancing shadows of the trees. Everything was tranquil and beautiful.
It wasn’t until midnight that they returned to the Academy of Sciences. Liu Fengyu’s face was unable to hide his joyful and triumphant smile.
