Chapter 285: Shut Him Up
Shi Lan hadn’t expected him to suddenly pull her down. Half her body was pressed against his bare chest, her lips landing right on his skin.
A low grunt rumbled in Jiang Xia’s throat, and an irrepressible, pleasant sigh escaped his lips.
Hearing that sound made Shi Lan’s ears burn even redder. ’How can a grown man make such a delicate sound? This is so embarrassing.’
She rubbed her ears. Seeing her lying still on top of him, Jiang Xia squirmed slightly and urged in a soft voice, "Lanlan, Lanlan, please don’t stop?"
Shi Lan remained frozen, not moving, only shifting her mouth slightly away from his body. But as he wriggled around, her lips accidentally brushed against a certain hard nub.
Half of Jiang Xia’s body went numb in an instant. His eyes, glistening with tears, looked as though he’d discovered a new world. He blinked his long lashes, looking a little dazed.
Shi Lan awkwardly snapped back to her senses. After a moment’s thought, she went with the motion and kissed down.
’I don’t know what I’m doing, but starting with kisses can’t be wrong.’
After kissing him for a while and leaving a trail of little red marks on his skin, she took a deep breath and pulled off his pants.
A cool draft hit his lower body. Jiang Xia, whose head had been fuzzy and lost in some comfortable caress, seemed to sober up considerably. He instinctively rolled over and hurriedly pulled his pants back on.
"Lanlan, you... why did you take off my pants..."
He blushed. The shorts he was wearing were very short; if Lanlan wanted to touch him, she could just touch him over them. ’Does she really have to touch... *that* place?’
He felt a persistent embarrassment. ’That place is a little ugly. It’ll definitely scare her.’
Shi Lan had just straddled his waist, so his sudden movement sent her tumbling onto the bed. She blinked, dazed, clearly not having processed what had just happened.
But when she saw Jiang Xia pulling his pants back on, she smacked the bed in frustration.
’Damn it! It took so much for me to work up the courage.’
Jiang Xia sat up, his hands pressed tightly to the waistband of his shorts. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shi Lan’s puffed-out cheeks and guiltily twirled a strand of his hair.
He could tell Lanlan was angry. Feeling helpless and worried she would never kiss him like that again, he stammered out a hesitant explanation, "Lanlan, you... if you want to touch... I’m willing, but... that place, there’s too much... flesh. It’s ugly. I-I’m afraid... it’ll scare you."
After speaking, he obediently and proactively loosened his waistband again. It was the first time he’d ever been so completely exposed before Shi Lan, and he still cautiously covered the middle area with his hands.
Shi Lan hadn’t expected him to be so fast. She’d been staring resentfully at his pants, only to accidentally get a full-frontal view.
She flushed and quickly turned her head away. Although Jiang Xia covered himself up again quickly, she had still seen it clearly.
’And here she thought it would be ugly.’
’Turns out, it looks just like theirs—all pink and very clean-looking.’
’But when they get excited, veins pop out. Jiang Xia’s, however, was completely smooth.’
Realizing what she was thinking, Shi Lan blushed even harder.
’It’s over. My mind’s in the gutter.’
Jiang Xia saw that as soon as he loosened his pants, Shi Lan immediately looked away. He was so distraught that tears almost started to fall. ’He knew it! It was so ugly it scared her.’
’She must be disgusted and repulsed by me now.’
’But... he couldn’t control it.’
He slapped himself in frustration. The pain really did make a tear slip out. Dejectedly, he pulled his pants back on, crept to the edge of the bed, and hooked a finger around Shi Lan’s arm, his voice choked with sobs. "Wife, please don’t hate me, okay?"
"I put my pants back on."
"I still look pretty."
"Can you look at me again, please?"
His voice was soft and pleading, making him sound utterly pitiful.
Shi Lan felt something wet on her arm. She turned her head and saw Jiang Xia’s eyes were red-rimmed, his lashes soaked. Fat tears rolled down his cheeks. To an outsider, it would have looked like she had abandoned him.
’Didn’t she just turn her head away because she was shy?’
The blush still on her face, she hugged him tenderly and coaxed, "What are you crying for?"
"Waaaah, I thought Lanlan was disgusted with me... just because I have that ugly thing on my body."
"Ahem..."
Shi Lan had been caught off guard by Jiang Xia’s words several times today. ’Does he have to be so blunt?’
’Besides, isn’t that an organ all healthy males have? It would be weirder if he *didn’t* have one...’
She felt Jiang Xia really needed to read a biology book. It wasn’t exactly the right time to watch an educational video with him, so she could only try her best to explain. "Um, it’s... it’s not ugly. It’s a normal male organ."
Of course, Jiang Xia knew that. But as a young man, he was still worried his partner would dislike the most conspicuous part of his body.
His wet eyes stared intently at Shi Lan, carefully trying to read her expression. "So... Lanlan doesn’t find it disgusting?"
Shi Lan shook her head. Seeing Jiang Xia’s rosy lips part to say something else, she simply cupped his face and kissed him, shutting him up.
’Honestly, can he stop asking me such embarrassing questions?’
Jiang Xia was instantly captivated by the softness on his lips, his mind no longer filled with messy thoughts.
After kissing for a while, the uncomfortable feeling in his body intensified. He clung to Shi Lan, wanting her to continue the kisses and caresses from before.
Shi Lan really couldn’t stand how clingy he was being. His constant grinding against her was starting to arouse her own body, too. She feigned a fierce look and pinched his cheek. "You silly boy, that won’t work."
After saying that, she decided to take matters into her own hands once more.
The pants Jiang Xia had just managed to put back on fell to the floor again. This time, he wouldn’t need them for a long while.
He was only just now understanding. So that ugly thing had such a use. It seemed it could transfer the fire in his body to Lanlan, and then he wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore.
It was the young man’s first taste of pleasure, and he had no self-control. He soon went limp.
Shi Lan paused, suspicious. ’That fast?’
’The knotting hasn’t even started.’
She debated whether to pull back, but Jiang Xia’s arms were holding her tightly. His whole body was redder than hers, and his usually cool skin was now flushed with a comfortable warmth.
"Lanlan, can we continue?"
His eyes were filled with longing. Noticing that Shi Lan had stopped, he looked at her pitifully.
Shi Lan was silent. ’How am I supposed to continue like this...’
She propped herself up, intending to withdraw a little. But soon, the young man rallied his forces.
...
That night, Jiang Xia’s cries were even louder than Shi Lan’s. His body was far too sensitive. Shi Lan’s body temperature was slightly higher than his, and the moment her warm fingers touched a new spot of skin, he would get excited with ridiculous ease. His arms, holding her, trembled weakly, and he was constantly clingy, puckering his lips for her to kiss him.
He was always a person who wore his heart on his sleeve and hated holding back. His flag fell fast, but it rose again just as quickly. He was a total novice, but he loved to play.
Shi Lan had to manage things both above and below, making her even busier than him. Finally, the knotting was successful.
She collapsed exhaustedly on his chest, only to see his eyes, red with excitement, looking at her with that same pitiful anticipation. Shi Lan knew he was about to use his tragic act again to win her sympathy and affection.
So, she preemptively pinched his kiss-swollen lips shut, not letting him speak.
