Moving In

Xu Yi chose to apply the medicine himself.

Even though they had already done everything in the heat of passion, there was still a strange sense of distance that made him feel awkward.

Lu Xingyan had cooked some home-style dishes—light but flavorful.

Xu Yi was used to takeout, so he actually thought it was pretty good.

“Want to move in with me?” Lu Xingyan brought it up only after seeing Xu Yi in a good mood.

“Huh?” Xu Yi didn’t react for a moment. After swallowing his food, he asked, “Where do you live?”

It seemed like living with his sugar daddy was a normal request, to satisfy his desires at any time.

He wasn’t too resistant.

Xu Yi thought, his gaze falling on the dining table.

Lu Xingyan noticed his gaze and upped the ante. “I bought an apartment near the school gate. If you move in, I can cook every day on weekends.”

On weekdays, it was more convenient to stay at the dorm.

Lu Xingyan didn’t have any particular requirements for accommodation. It was his brother who bought the apartment near the school for him, saying he could move in if he didn’t like the dorms.

But the dorm was closer for morning classes, and he could also pass by the cafeteria, allowing him to sleep a bit longer. That’s why he had always stayed there.

He hadn’t been living there out of nostalgia—he barely remembered much about his parents and childhood anyway.

“Okay,” Xu Yi agreed casually.

Seeing him agree so readily, Lu Xingyan was a bit stunned. He had thought Xu Yi was the type to be awkward and would need some coaxing.

Could it be the effect of that high-limit supplementary card?

What a little money-grubber.

Xu Yi didn’t have much to bring, because whenever he picked something up, Lu Xingyan would say it was already bought at the other place.

This made Xu Yi very curious about when exactly the other party had started preparing.

But he probably couldn’t take those little toys of his—anyway, there was Lu Xingyan, the fully automatic one.

Mm, nice.

Actually, Lu Xingyan had ordered everything online right after Xu Yi agreed.

While cleaning out the wardrobe, Lu Xingyan followed beside him.

Xu Yi remembered the clothes he had deliberately bought for taking suggestive photos were also in there, and he awkwardly pushed Lu Xingyan away. “Go wait outside.”

Lu Xingyan guessed the reason in just one second.

“Those little camisoles and shorts… you’re not bringing—”

“Ahhh! Don’t talk about that!” Xu Yi’s face turned bright red.

He had finally managed to fade the memories of flirting with Lu Xingyan online, pretending they only had a real-life sugar relationship.

And Lu Xingyan had to bring it up.

He remembered that online, because he wore a mask, his words and photos had been very unbridled.

Now that the person who had seen that side of him was right in front of him, mentioning this matter,

he was so upset he was about to cry.

Lu Xingyan was pushed to the door, but suddenly he propped his hand against the doorframe and refused to move no matter how hard Xu Yi pushed.

Because Xu Yi’s expression was just too adorable.

He couldn’t help it and turned around directly.

Xu Yi, unable to pull back in time, stumbled into his arms. “Mmph!”

Xu Yi yelped in pain, covering his nose.

A teardrop still clung to the corner of his eye.

Damn, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Lu Xingyan directly hugged Xu Yi’s thighs and pinned him against the wall.

He teased and kissed him for over ten minutes, overwhelming him.

Only when Xu Yi got angry and started pounding his back did Lu Xingyan reluctantly let go.

Mm, that place hadn’t healed yet. He’d let him off this time.

After that, Xu Yi finally behaved a bit and agreed to let Lu Xingyan help clean out the wardrobe together.

As soon as they opened the closet door, they saw it stuffed full of women’s clothes.

There were only a few T-shirts of men’s clothing hanging on top.

But below were piles of colorful little camisoles.

Xu Yi’s face burned. He braced himself and said, “First off, don’t ask me anything.”

Lu Xingyan suddenly reached out and picked up a pink lace camisole that was only palm-length. “Where do you wear this?”

Xu Yi quickly snatched it back and stuffed it into the deepest part. “Top.”

Lu Xingyan’s eyes darkened. He took the camisole out again and placed it in the suitcase beside Xu Yi.

“The tags are gone. You showed it to your ex-boyfriend?” Lu Xingyan said in a sullen, almost threateningly coaxing tone. “When we get back, you wear it for me.”

Xu Yi really didn’t have the guts to answer the first question.

He didn’t know how many people he had sent it to.

Anyway, no one knew each other, so they probably wouldn’t meet… It was the same effect whoever wore it.

“I don’t have an ex-boyfriend.” Xu Yi changed the subject, but he didn’t stuff the camisole back.

Mm, he also liked seeking thrills.

Maybe it would come in handy to bring it along.

Before Xu Yi could finish packing, Lu Xingyan picked up another pair of jeans.

The kind that was ridiculously short.

You could even see the underwear through the lace trim.

Without waiting for Lu Xingyan to unfold them, Xu Yi hurriedly hugged them and preempted, “Fine, I’ll wear them for you.”

That was very refined of him.

Xu Yi thought there was no problem and nodded unsuspectingly.

Lu Xingyan’s eyes suddenly lit up, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey, making Xu Yi shiver involuntarily.

“Is the camisole worn alone or with something inside?” Lu Xingyan asked with a serious, academic expression, as if inquiring about a grave matter.

Xu Yi felt his earlobes burn.

It was too unfair—how could he use that tone!

Seeing Xu Yi too shy to answer, his face flushed with a mix of innocence and allure, Lu Xingyan pretended to scare him by leaning in until their noses almost touched.

Xu Yi’s mind went blank, and he plopped down onto the floor.

“Y-you, you…”

He held his sore bottom, stammering a few ‘you’s without finishing, even starting to sound tearful.

Lu Xingyan didn’t dare bully him too much; he pulled Xu Yi up and this time helped pack properly.

Basically, Xu Yi tossed things to him, and Lu Xingyan folded them neatly before putting them in the suitcase.

They managed to pack one suitcase full of clothes.

Xu Yi was still a bit sulky and didn’t want to acknowledge Lu Xingyan.

Lu Xingyan, knowing he was in the wrong, swiped on his phone, doing who knows what.

With the suitcase, Lu Xingyan directly called a taxi. Since Xu Yi didn’t have to pay and now knew that Lu Xingyan was richer than he had imagined, he didn’t hold back at all.

Most of the area near the school gate consisted of old residential complexes, but the taxi stopped by a newly built apartment building.

The floors were high, and the environment was nice.

Lu Xingyan’s apartment was on the 20th floor. Fortunately, it was one apartment per floor, so they didn’t have to wait long for the elevator.

Xu Yi was still curious about his new living place. As soon as the door cracked open, he couldn’t help poking his head in.

From the entrance, he could see a spacious living room, mostly decorated in a minimalist white style.

But the exquisite pink gift box on the coffee table stood out conspicuously.

Xu Yi paused.

Could it be that another girl had been here?

Lu Xingyan hadn’t noticed yet and eagerly took out the couple slippers from the shoe cabinet.

One white, one black—simple design but very soft and comfortable.

Xu Yi put on the white pair and followed Lu Xingyan inside.

He looked around; aside from the gift box, there were no other clues.

Feigning absentmindedness, Xu Yi casually asked, “Has anyone else been here?”

Lu Xingyan remembered that he had just arranged for people to come install things and clean, and finally ordered a cake.

He replied honestly, “Quite a few, I think.”

Xu Yi’s movements froze. He suddenly lost all interest in exploring the place.

Lu Xingyan pulled the suitcase to the master bedroom door and hesitated before asking, “Want to pick a room?”

They were even going to sleep separately?

Xu Yi had thought Lu Xingyan liked him so much that they would sleep together every day.

He casually pointed to the guest room, not interested in going to check it out.

Lu Xingyan finally noticed Xu Yi’s mood shift.

For a moment, he couldn’t figure out the reason, so he put down the suitcase, took Xu Yi’s hand, and led him to the couch.

Xu Yi reluctantly sat down, only to see Lu Xingyan starting to unwrap the gift box.

When it was fully opened, a beautiful little cake was revealed.

Xu Yi looked at Lu Xingyan in confusion. He remembered that Lu Xingyan’s birthday had already passed, his own birthday was still far off, and there didn’t seem to be any special occasion today.

“To celebrate our first day of living together,” Lu Xingyan said with a curl of his lips, cutting a slice of cake and placing it in Xu Yi’s hand. “I’m really happy.”

Xu Yi stared at him, unable to help asking, “But this was a last-minute decision.”

How could everything from slippers to cake be ready?

Lu Xingyan fed a spoonful of cake to Xu Yi’s lips, his voice gentle but earnest.

“From the moment you agreed, I’ve been coordinating with people.”

“A dual gaming room, couple pajamas for all seasons, couple toothbrushes, couple cups—everything is ready.”

“Oh, and I didn’t have the nerve to have someone buy the couple’s toys. I think Baby really likes them, so why don’t you pick them out yourself?”

Lu Xingyan lowered his voice, deliberately stressing the last few words, making Xu Yi’s face flush bright red.

What did he mean by ‘Baby really likes them’?

Wasn’t Lu Xingyan interested too?
