GOLDEN SPACE OF TIME

"A NARROW SPACE INSIDE THE BOILING POT," From me. To you.

"Sit here and wait," Hei Bao said as he rose to his feet.

"Eh?" Lianhua could only say.

"I'll go cook something for us," Hei Bao said as he turned around.

"Eh?" Lianhua couldn't make sense of what was going on.

Hei Bao was about to take a step forward when he felt a tug on his sleeves, causing him to stop. Lianhua was holding his sleeve hem. Hei Bao looks down at the other people's hands before returning his gaze to Lianhua's perplexed eyes. When Lianhua realized he was yanking on Hei Bao, he immediately let go and coughed twice.

"You don't have to do that, Mr. Bao," Lianhua said, standing up.

"I didn't lose my feet and hands; I can still cook for you," Lianhua said shyly to Hei Bao.

"No," Hei Bao stated emphatically.

"Eh?" Lianhua was taken aback for a moment.

"You can't even hold a knife properly; look at your hand; it's all red and wounded," Hei Bao said as he turned around. Lianhua, who was frozen in place, was left behind.

Hei Bao walked into the kitchen and took a look around. He took a look around the table and noticed various cuts of onions and garlic cloves. He then moved his gaze to the sink, where a pan and cooking utensils were tumbling.

The kitchen was disorganized, with items strewn about and drops of various sauces on the floor and in the sink. He then walks over to the stove and notices a covered pot that is boiling. He raised his hand and took the pot's cover. When he opened it, a thick black and purplish smoke and a foul odor infiltrated his soul through his nose.

'This isn't going to work,' Hei Bao reasoned.

Suddenly, a faint strawberry scent entered his nose. Lianhua appeared in the kitchen.

"Eh... Mr. Bao?" Lianhua inquired.

"I told you to sit and wait," Hei Bao said, looking at Lianhua. Hei Bao replaced the pot's cover and turned off the stove before turning around to face Lianhua.

"But I can't just sit and wait for my guest to finish cooking and eat without even helping him a little," Lianhua mumbled, avoiding Hei Bao's gaze.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Hei Bao asked directly, prompting Lianhua to look up at him once more.

"a..ah? I'm not," Lianhua replied.

"Yes, you are; you can't even look me in the eyes," Hei Bao said.

"It's just... I'm a little embarrassed," Lianhua mumbled and lowered her gaze.

"What's the point of being embarrassed?" Hei Bao inquired.

"Mr, Bao.. Look around you.. Can't you tell?" Lianhua asked, looking up at Hei Bao with his red ears pricked.

Hei Bao gave a small smile.

"Then help me clean up so we can cook together," Hei Bao said, his smile still on his face.

In an instant, the entire kitchen was spotless and gleaming. Hei Bao served a plethora of vegetables, all of which were expertly prepared with garlic and onion leaves. The meat was also nicely cut and well placed on the plate. Hei Bao was cutting potatoes right now, his sleeves rolled up to show off his strong arm.

"You said we could cook together; why aren't you letting me help?" Lianhua inquired. He was sitting up at the table right now, and Hei Bao was busy cutting the potatoes beside him.

"I told you that, but I'm still cutting the ingredients; I'm not letting you hold a knife again," Hei Bao said, not looking at Lianhua, and went about his business.

"But I feel awkward just sitting here and doing nothing," Lianhua mumbled, drawing Hei Bao's attention to him.

"Then go get a bowl and fill it with water," Hei Bao said, slightly smiling at the pouting Lianhua.

"OK," Lianhua said, looking up at Hei Bao with a big smile before leaping down the table.

Lianhua approaches the kitchen cabinet and opens the door. The breakable bowls and glasses were stored in the kitchen cabinets above. Because the cabinet was a little high, Lianhua tiptoed to the nearest one. But no matter what he does, he will never be able to reach it.

He attempted to jump, but he was unable to do so. Then he felt something hard behind him, like a wall, and a larger hand over his, reaching for the bowl above him. Lianhua tilts his head to his left shoulder and looks up at Hei Bao, dazed, just as Hei Bao looks down at the other.

"Shorty, if you need help, just ask; you're such a nuisance," Hei Bao said, smirking and making Lianhua's knees go soft.

For a brief moment, Hei Bao remained motionless. A strong odor entered his nose, causing him to pause for a moment. It was delicious. Sweeter than the one he had previously smelled. Lianhua is releasing a scent, and the entire room was filled with it.

Hei Bao then focused his gaze on Lianhua's neck, where he could hear his pulse thumping. He raised his gaze to Lianhua's lips, which were pink and moist, his nose, which was drawn into a perfect shape, and finally, Lianhua's hazel brown eyes. What he saw was not the usual ones he had seen before. It was filled with something Hei Bao has no idea about.

After a brief moment, Lianhua removed his gaze from Hei Baos' and turned around. He was about to leave the situation when Hei Bao softly pulled his hand in surprise, causing Lianhua to lean his lower body against the sink. He then looks up at Hei Bao, a little taken aback. Hei Bao set the bowl down and placed both of his hands on the sink, trapping Lianhua in his arms.

"Mr. Bao—" Lianhua began.

"Don't talk," Hei Bao said emphatically.

"But—," Lianhua says.

"If you talk again, I'll kiss you to death," Hei Bao threatened, staring Lianhua down. Lianhua's eyes widened, and his ears, cheeks, and nape turned red. He stifled his laughter.

Hei Bao sighed, then returned his gaze to Lianhua.

Hei Bao began,

"Earlier in the car—."

After hearing those, Lianhua opened his mouth slightly, but Hei Bao raised his brow, forcing him to close his mouth again, biting his lower lip.

"I know what I did shocked you. I'm not the type to say sorry or apologize to someone, but I'm sorry. I got carried away and did that to you. Please stop avoiding me. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't get uncomfortable with me," Hei Bao said, looking Lianhua in the eyes.

"I'm sorry, too— hmm!" Lianhua exclaimed, his eyes widening.

He was kissed by Hei Bao.

There is no tongue.

No teeth-clashing.

Only soft lips.

Hei Bao drew his face back and leaned in close to Lianhua's already red ear.

"I told you, if you talk again, I'll kiss you to death," mumbled Hei Bao.

Lianhua's sensitive ear was tickled by the words and air coming from Hei Bao's mouth.

"Ah.." Lianhua moaned.

When he realized what had happened, he covered his mouth with both hands and looked up at Hei Bao, who was staring at him intently and silently. Lianhua's face, ears, and nape became even more red.

Hei Bao smirked unexpectedly.

He removed Lianhua's hand from his mouth with his left hand.

"I might apologize to you again," Hei Bao said with a slight smile to Lianhua.

"h..huh? w-why?" Lianhua inquired, perplexed.

"This..." Hei Bao did not go on.

He kissed Lianhua once more. His lips were moving this time. Lianhua was frozen because he was taken aback by the sudden action. His lips were sealed shut, but his eyes were wide open.

Hei Bao used his tongue to try to enter Lianhua's mouth. Lianhua found himself closing his eyes and opening his mouth in a split second. He encircled Hei Bao's neck with both of his hands and began kissing him back.

Hei Bao drew Lianhua closer with his hands on his hips.

Lianhua moaned,

"Emnh~ Ah~ mnhh... hahh..."

Hei Bao drew his chin back slightly.

"Just like that, Baby. Keep moaning," Hei Bao said as he kissed Lianhua again, making the other moan.

Their movements aren't fast, but they're also not slow.

They act in the same manner as other couples.

They appear to be one of them right now.

Suddenly, it was Lianhua who drew his face back. He closed his eyes and placed his forehead on Hei Bao's. Hei Bao followed suit.

"hahh~ D..don't bother," puffed Lianhua.

"About what?" Hei Bao inquired, his eyes still closed.

Hei Bao was about to return his lips to Lianhua when Lianhua pulled his head away from him and covered Hei Bao's mouth with his hand. Hei Bao stared silently into Lianhua's eyes.

"Don't bother saying sorry again," Lianhua said, making Hei Bao smirk beneath Lianhua's hand.

Hei Bao licked his fingers.

Lianhua moaned,

"Mnh~"

"Then I won't," Hei Bao said, smirking.

"Eek!" shrieked Lianhua after Hei Bao encircled his hands around Lianhua's hips and lifted him, causing the other to shriek and encircle his hands around Hei Bao's nape once more.

Hei Bao then turned around and took a step through the table, gently placing him on the table and securing him in place. As they continued to kiss, Hei Bao stood between Lianhua's legs. Hei Bao's hands crept up under Lianhua's outerwear.

"mnh~ ahh~"

"mmh~ ah~ hahh~"

Between kisses, Lianhua moaned as Hei Bao continued to touch and travel his hands up and down inside Lianhua's shirt. Occasionally, he moved his hands near Lianhua's nipples, causing Lianhua to moan a little louder.

"Ah! Mnnh!~ mnh~" Lianhua moaned again.

"What a sweet voice you've got in there, Baby," Hei Bao said as he let go of Lianhua's kiss and looked into her half-lidded eyes.

Hei Bao traveled with his left hand on Lianhua's waist and his right hand on Lianhua's back. Every touch of Hei Bao's calloused hand tickles Lianhua's soft and silky skin.

"Ahh..th--that tickles," Lianhua moaned again, covering his mouth after realizing what had happened.

"Don't cover your mouth," Hei Bao said, taking his hand down again with his left hand.

"I like the sound of it," Hei Bao said after a brief pause...

Hei Bao then leaned in close to Lianhua's ear and whispered;

"So keep moaning for me," Hei Bao said, licking Lianhua's sensitive ear, causing Lianhua to moan again.

"Ahh ~ah~ mnhh~"

Hei Bao then slid his right hand down Lianhua's back, almost touching his bottom, prompting Lianhua to arch his back and encircle his hands around Hei Bao's neck once more.

"Egh~ HAahh~ Ahh~ hahh~" Lianhua moaned beside Hei Bao's ear, tickling them slightly.

Hei Bao nuzzled his face against Lianhua's neck and sucked on the skin, sometimes softly biting the flesh then licking it, causing Lianhua to moan a little louder and close his eyes as he finally lost his senses.

While slowly laying his back on the table, Hei Bao continued to kiss and suck on Lianhua's neck. When Lianhua finally landed on the table, he shivered slightly from the cold tile and clutched Hei Bao's neck tightly. Hei Bao sucked softly on Lianhua's collarbone as his lips moved down it.

Lianhua moaned once more.

Hei Bao grinned. He had a nefarious thought. While his left hand was busy touching Lianhua's back under the other's clothes, his right hand was protecting Lianhua's head.

He smirked and leaned his head down again as he looked up at Lianhua, who was busy moaning while closing his eyes. This time, his lips were pressed against Lianhua's nipple beneath the silk.

He opened his mouth slightly.

He gently bites it, causing Lianhua to open his eyes and moan loudly.

"AH!" he exclaimed, looking down on Hei Bao. His eyes were wet. His mouth was wide open. His eyes were only just open.

What a mess.

A beautiful one.

"AHH! OHH! OH MY G-GOD! OH MY G-GOD! NHG!"

Ignoring Lianhua's sweet and loud moan, Hei Bao went about his business. However,

Diiiing Doooong

The doorbell rang, interrupting the two's conversation.

To be continued.
