CHAPTER 10 : OLD TALE: AFTER YEARS

3 years had passed and all of the residuals and ugly remains of the war were completely fixed. The golden age had come.

The industry rose two times higher than the previous record and the current rulers made developments on urban and borderlands to reconstruct prefectures and towns with guaranteed safety and stable livelihoods. Everything went on smoothly along with the liveliness in the red district that never faded.

It also reached its peak in the industry because a lot of locals and tourists will first visit the place for entertainment and guides which the beauties could easily accommodate. Their systems became more flexible because they've gained supports from the higher-ups and more brothels were made due to public demands.

Women taught it as broadcasted corruption however, men call it 'spreading entertainment'.

"Zedong, clean the third room on the second floor, the Young Lord of the Yun reserved a room again." one senior servant told him.

It's been three years and Zedong has fully grown into a fine young man, even though he didn't have growth like Gu Yun who became a muscle pig, he looked more like a refined nobleman with his gentle face and tall feature.

"Copy that," he said and immediately went to the room.

They've been permitted to work inside the house since they're not that young anymore.

Zedong was quietly cleaning the room when someone called again.

"Zedong, come exchange with me. Yu Yan's in a foul mood today." one newly hired servant called out to him.

Zedong lowly laughed, "Again?"

"Again."

And these three years...some things had quite a few turns.

Zedong knocked on Yu Yan's room and he heard the person reply, "Come in."

He slowly opened the wooden door and saw the familiar-looking place. Compared to other rooms where some of the musicians and beauties reside, Yu Yan chose to be minimalistic in color and design suited with his personality and nature.

The man was currently brushing his long silky hair on the beauty desk wearing only his inner robes.

Zedong walked towards him and gently took the comb from him, "Let me."

Yu Yan's face was reflected on a blurry yellow mirror in front of him even though not clear, it is seen how his appearance and expression changed into a mature one after these three years.

Sophisticated and beautiful, his phoenix eyes were sharp, lips red and those sharp shoulders beautifully carved beneath the thin layer of the robe.

Zedong silently brushed his hair not knowing that Yu Yan has been eyeing him through his reflection on the mirror.

"Xun Xi made you accompany him to hot spring again?" Yu Yan asked, tone cold and menacing

Zedong stopped, he stared at Yu Yan's glaring eyes in the mirror then just smiled and went back to combing his beautiful hair.

But Yu Yan wasn't patient ever since and slammed the table, "I'm asking you a question!"

Zedong finally sighed and replied, "He did but there's also Gu Yun. Xun Xi wants to be accompanied when bathing to strange places, I thought I already told you that." he gently responded not willing to start an argument.

Yesterday, Xun Xi was invited into one of the famous red houses in the district. He was invited because he was noticed by a professional manager so in exchange for his service, they were given free time to enjoy the big place, even had the privilege to make a solo of the hot spring there.

But Yu Yan's glare didn't back down, he blurted, "Is he three years old?!"

Zedong laughed, "He's always like that. Are you going to sleep?" he asked since it's almost 1 am.

The evening feast for today just finished, the beauties and the musicians are already resting.

Yu Yan turned to him because he was sitting on a wooden stool he needs to lift his head to stare at Zedong.

He then answered, "No."

Zedong made a conflicted expression while hinting something from Yu Yan's state but still asked, "Why?"

Yu Yan knew he's acting dumb so he purposely lifted his barefoot to travel upward in between Zedong's legs.

Zedong suddenly flinched and pushed down his naughty foot, "You're tired."

Yu Yan smiled seductively at him, "No, I'm not." and reached for his lash by the waist.

"Zedong..."

Zedong was trying his best not to look at Yu Yan but since his hands were already reaching for his lash, he couldn't help but to look, then regretted it.

Yu Yan was still lifting his head towards him, looking pitiful and begging.

"Quick. Let's just...do it quick," he uttered

Zedong was biting his lower lip and groaned when he couldn't help it any longer. He bent and plunged forward to kiss Yu Yan's soft lips.

The man's arms immediately wrapped around his neck and returned the kisses, both sucking and biting each other's mouth with their hunger and affection.

"Mm..." Yu Yan groaned when Zedong used his tongue to part his mouth, conquering the whole of it.

Their tongues played against each other and pulled off when they're almost out of breath but Zedong was already ignited and resumed the kisses quickly, traveling towards Yu Yan's neck.

Skin so white and tender that he can only have access to, giving marks and love bites.

Yu Yan always loved this gesture and would hug Zedong closely to him, securing him in an embrace.

"Let's head to the bed," Zedong whispered

And that hour was the usual hours for their intimate closeness. Both gasping and moaning, syncing with the creaking of the bed as their bodies moved in the same motion, indulging in the ecstasy of the moment.

Yu Yan was underneath Zedong, legs raised, curling on Zedong's waist as their skin made a slapping sound when connected.

He's already flushed red, tears dropping on his lashes as he securely holds on to Zedong, "Ah..slowly..."

"Shh...." Zedong hushed, "The servants are still cleaning around." he whispered as he pound on Yu Yan.

Their relationship started mysteriously and they both wouldn't dare to expose it to the people around them.

Yu Yan reached to pull him down and kissed passionately, "I love you." he uttered

Zedong smiled and kissed him hungrily, "I love you too."
