DFYMHGFS Chapter 94

94 -They mourned the loss of their little cabbage, who had been snatched away.

In winter, it gets dark early and light comes late. It was already 9 a.m., yet the world outside the window remained a hazy

The curtains in the wooden cabin were drawn, with only a faint glow seeping through the cracks. In such darkness, one would normally only be able to make out a silhouette, no matter how close they were. Yet when Lu Tianshen opened his eyes, he could see the boy before him with perfect clarity.

The boy lay on his side, contentedly curled up under the covers. His hand clutching the edge of the quilt, and his sleeping face serene.

Even in the darkness, the faint light filtering in through the window made the boy’s delicate features appear as if they were bathed in a soft, filtered glow.

Lu Tianshen lay there on his side, gazing at the boy’s sleeping face, his heart filled with an unprecedented sense of contentment and peace.

His gaze fell on the red mark at the corner of the boy’s eye, and he couldn’t help but recall everything that had happened last night.

When the little fool had thrown himself into his arms, Lu Tianshen had been a bit hesitant. But in the boy’s presence, the self-control and composure he prided himself on were never very effective, and they quickly crumbled.

Everything that followed was so beautiful it felt as unbelievable as a dream.

Just recalling the events of last night made Lu Tianshen feel warm all over. He shifted slightly, wanting to get closer to An Xing, but the sleeping boy whimpered softly, sniffling.

That clear voice, hoarse from a night of rough play, sounded strangely pitiful, laced with a hint of hurt.

Lu Tianshen froze instantly, stiffening as he looked at the boy, trying to recall if he’d gone too far last night.

It doesn’t seem like… I did, didn’t I?

He’d been restrained and gentle at first—after all, this little star was a treasure he held in the palm of his hand; how could he bear to be rough with him?

If he had to pinpoint where he’d gone wrong, it might have been the second-to-last time, when the little fool was sniffling and said he wanted to rest, but then he’d tricked the little fool into thinking it was the last time… Was that a bit too much?

Lu Tianchen felt inexplicably guilty, wondering if he should get up now and cook something delicious—just in case An Xing was upset, he’d have something to appease him with.

But before he could even get up, the boy opened his eyes first.

When An Xing woke up, for a moment he was disoriented, unsure of where he was.

It wasn’t until he tried to stretch and felt the soreness in his lower back and legs, along with the lingering, faint burning sensation in that certain spot behind him, that reality set in.

Then he caught a familiar scent and saw the culprit lying face-to-face with him, the very source of all his current discomfort.

The man was holding his breath, staring at him with a look of unease.

Lu Tianshen watched the youth slowly narrow his eyes, feeling a bit nervous. In this unsettling silence, he decided to strike first.

He leaned in, pulled the boy into his arms, and kissed his forehead.

“Good morning, Xingxing.”

His voice was low and hoarse, tinged with a hint of satisfaction. Almost instantly, An Xing recalled that it was this very voice that had whispered words of love last night, luring him into surrender.

The look of wanting to kill someone is impossible to hide. An Xing glared at Lu Tianshen for a long moment before rolling into the man’s embrace and demanding condescendingly:

“My back hurts. Rub it for me.”

Lu Tianchen’s expression softened slightly as his hands settled on the teenager’s lower back, gently massaging the area. As someone who exercised regularly, he knew exactly which spots to target to relieve the soreness and weakness caused by overexertion. Under the just-right pressure of the massage, An Xing closed his eyes in comfort and soon drifted off into a light sleep.

“Next time… don’t do it this many times.”

The boy, on the verge of falling asleep, muttered discontentedly.

Lu Tianshen mumbled a half-hearted “Mm-hmm,” clearly not paying any attention.

When An Xing was roused by the smell of food, Lu Tianchen had already prepared breakfast and set it on the table.

He sat up groggily from the bed, still a bit dazed. But the man had already walked over, picked him up from the bed, and carried him straight into the bathroom.

Looking at the mirror in front of him, An Xing instantly recalled some unspeakable scenes from last night. He squirmed and asked warily:

“What are you doing?! No way!”

Lu Tianchen paused for a moment before realizing what An Xing was thinking. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, ruffling the teenager’s hair.

“I’m not doing anything. I just want you to wash up and eat.”

An Xing grumbled, stood up on his own, and pushed the man out of the bathroom.

No cuddles from Xingxing today!

*

By the time An Xing came out of the bathroom after washing up, the exhaustion from a long night had faded a bit, but the aches and fatigue still left him in a bad mood. This was why the teenager still looked a bit grumpy as he sat down at the dining table.

Lu Tianshen noticed the boy’s displeasure at a glance. Without a moment’s hesitation, driven by a strong instinct for survival and making use of his excellent physical condition, he pulled over a cushion from the side and placed it on the boy’s chair, then took the bowl and moved closer.

“Should I feed you?”

The man’s handsome face was expressionless, but when those deep, piercing eyes looked over, they carried a hint of coaxing.

It was like a big wolf gently wagging its tail at a kitten to win its favor.

An Xing chuckled at his own imagination, and the man who’d kept him up all night suddenly seemed much more likable. He grunted, sat down on the cushion—finding it surprisingly comfortable—and opened his mouth, looking every bit the spoiled master.

“Then feed me! You have to feed me until I’m full!”

“……”

The man’s Adam’s apple twitched slightly, but he quickly suppressed the desire that had begun to rise. He’d covered it up fast, but An Xing still sensed it keenly and his ears twitched.

“Shen gege, what are you thinking about?”

“…Nothing.”

Lu Tianchen cleared his throat, looking awkward for once.

“Here, I’ll feed you.”

An Xing watched the man warily. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust him; it was just that Shen gege’s performance last night had been nothing short of shocking.

Goodness, after knowing him for so many years, this was the first time he’d discovered that Shen gege could actually be so… shameless!

He was clearly exhausted, and had even been bullied to tears, yet Shen gege still wouldn’t let him sleep. No matter how much he whined or begged for mercy, it was all to no avail… It was clear that Shen Ge’s gentle, restrained demeanor after they started dating was all an act!

Men, as expected, only reveal their true nature in bed.

Although he was furious that the product didn’t match the description, he’d just have to make do. It wasn’t like he could just switch partners.

Considering how they grew up together… Well, and since he did get some pleasure out of it, and he wouldn’t love anyone else the way he loves Lu Tianshen…

The boy grumbled a few times, but in the end, seeing how honest the man was—and how genuinely hungry he was—he opened his mouth and took a sip of the porridge the man fed him.

Lu Tianshen let out a sigh of relief, knowing that this hurdle was finally behind them. His gaze toward An Xing grew even gentler. In the end, he couldn’t resist; he set the bowl down, pulled the boy close, and hugged him. Only when the boy in his arms was about to snap did he let go, continuing to feed him properly.

The boy glared at the man a few more times in a huff before picking up the video call from his family while eating.

The An family: …

They mourned the loss of their little cabbage, who had been snatched away.

Rain must fall, and sons must find love—these are things no one can change. When the An family learned that the young couple planned to spend the night on the mountain, they offered a few words of advice before, with heavy hearts, deciding not to disturb them further.

After eating his fill, the boy’s mood improved considerably. The man carried him back to the freshly made bed, where he curled up in the soft, warm blankets.

The winter sun wasn’t very warm, but inside the heated wooden cabin, the young couple held each other close, their bodies burning with passion.

An Xing snuggled into the man’s arms to watch a movie. With the man gently massaging his lower back, he soon felt sleepy again. But first, he reached out and pressed Lu Tianshen’s hand down.

“It’s okay, I’m not that uncomfortable. You don’t have to keep massaging me.”

The boy mumbled, instinctively turning his head to nuzzle affectionately against the crook of the man’s neck.

Saying he wasn’t uncomfortable was really just because he didn’t want Lu Tianchen to get too tired.

Lu Tianshen felt as though his heart had been patted by a kitten’s paw pads—it was unbelievably soft. He kissed the boy’s lips and whispered:

“All right, go to sleep.”

With only two weeks left until the Lunar New Year, both the An family and Lu Tianshen were bustling with activity.

Companies always push to boost their performance at the end of the year. Needless to say, An Zhaoming and An Rong were busy, but with the Lu couple yet to return to China, the burden of managing the Lu family’s domestic affairs fell heavily on Lu Tianshen. Suddenly, all three of them found themselves swamped with work.

After Anning Jewelry had grown, Shen Ying gradually stepped back from managing the design department to establish her own studio, where she could focus on the designs she loved. Coincidentally, she had taken on a project just before the end of the year, and as it was in its final stages, she too became busy.

As a result, An Xing realized he had become the least busy of the three.

Although he was reluctant to inherit the family business—which would leave him bald—idling away his time was simply not an option. An Xing ran a hand through his curly hair and decided to check in on the charity foundation.

The An family’s foundation is now called the “Star Foundation.” It wasn’t that An Xing was being self-centered; it was simply because the foundation helps families search for lost children, and in his view, every child is a little star that should be held in the palm of one’s hand.

So naming it this way was also a kind of heartfelt wish.

The foundation’s director took a call from the current boss, listened to the request, and promptly brought the latest documents over to the Lu family’s house.

—That’s right, the Lu family’s house.

Actually, An Xing had originally planned to go home, but after Lu Tianshen dropped him off at the An family’s doorstep, though he didn’t say a word and his face remained expressionless, his eyes were filled with reluctance.

Who could resist such a handsome man—a man he’d been intimate with just the night before, and who was also his legal partner—when he looked at him with such lingering affection?

So An Xing softened his heart and followed Lu Tianshen back to the Lu residence, leaving his elderly father roaring in frustration from the back of the car as he watched his son get snatched away again.

When Lu Tianshen returned home, he found An Xing listening intently to a young man speaking. Upon seeing him return, the boy’s almond-shaped eyes lit up instantly.

“Shen gege, you’re back!”

The man responded with a gentle nod, walking over to sit beside the boy.

The CEO’s aura was imposing; even though he was much gentler around the boy, it still made one’s nerves tingle. The manager had never intended to brush An Xing off, and now his explanation grew even more detailed.

“So, will these parents be able to see their lost child after the New Year?”

After listening intently, An Xing asked with concern.

“That’s right. The family will return from abroad after the New Year, bringing the child with them. Then the family will be reunited.”

A smile spread across An Xing’s face as he turned to look at Lu Tianshen, his eyes sparkling.

“You guys are amazing.”

The man reached out to ruffle the boy’s curly hair.

Finding a missing person requires significant manpower and financial resources, and in this case, all the funds the foundation used came from investments An Xing had made under Lu Tianshen’s guidance—so naturally, he deserved some of the credit.

The boy’s curly hair stood proudly on end, bobbing up and down even after they’d seen the director off.

Then he heard Lu Tianshen say:

“My parents are coming back early this weekend. Xingxing, shall we go pick them up together?”
