Chapter 37: Sex Review Diary.

"Where do you like being touched the most?" Li Yunxi insisted, lowering his voice and leaning even more closer than before,"It doesn't have to be a genital organ,"he added with clarification.

Gu Shan's mind went blank,he panicked. His heart was beating so fast that he thought Li Yunxi would hear it almost bursting out of his chest.

"I ... don't know,"he finally choked out feeling embarrassed.

"Looks like I'm on a quest to find out,"Li Yunxi smirked moving away from the boy. Gu Shan let out a breath that he didn't know he had been holding the whole time.

"Let's go back before someone suspects,"Li Yunxi said walking away. He pushed the door open and walked in. When he arrived at the reception counter,Xiao Hui was alone busy dusting wine bottles.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Hui asked eyeing his friend carefully.

"I went out for a smoke,"he lied quickly.

"You've been smoking a lot lately. Are you alright?"

"Yes I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Nothing I was just concerned."

"Where is Yu Xin? You two were kind of in your own world so I decided to give you some space."

"Oh that's why you went out for a smoke?"Xiao Hui asked in realization.

"Something like that."

"Her friends came so she went to meet them."

Li Yunxi's question kept ringing in Gu Shan's mind everytime he found himself idle or while doing his daily routines - be it while showering or when he slipped under his warm quilt waiting for Morpheus to take him. His sexual experience was limited. He had never experimented many things before. He only had sex with Su Liang just because the girl demanded it and claimed it was a necessity for a relationship. He didn't put much effort into intimacy before because he hated it somehow. He didn't know Su Liang's preferences neither did he know his. He just knew as long as someone's genitals were touched they would absolutely get aroused.

This question got him tossing in bed and he finally gave in to his curiosity to google some of the erogenous zones mentioned by sex experts. But the information didn't seem much convincing to him. How in the world would be aroused by someone biting his earlobe? That sounded like a no-no for him. Before,sex would never have been something on his search history but now curiosity had gotten the better part of him. He looked for video demonstrations of such maybe that way he would get convinced.

"What are you doing?" Liu Daxun asked in a sleepy voice and Gu Shan jumped in shock shutting his laptop violently.

"What are you doing here?"Gu Shan asked nervously.

"I was feeling thirsty so I came to get some water."

"Oh."

"And you what are you doing? It seemed like you were watching something."

"It's nothing,"he replied quickly.

He concocted some lie claiming he couldn't sleep to prevent his friend from prying further or suspecting his new strange hobby.

Su Liang and Wei Nuo showed up at the club a few days later. Ever since Li Yunxi refused to pick up her calls,she decided to pay him an impromptu visit . At that time, Xiao Hui was away at the moment leaving Li Yunxi and Yu Xin at the counter. The two weren't close but they kept chatting about random things till the two unexpected guests showed up. Li Yunxi's relaxed face suddenly darkened exuding subtle hostility towards the two girls.

"Hi girls what would you like to drink?" Yu Xin chimed in noticing the tension on Li Yunxi's face.

"Two glasses of vodka ,"Wei Nuo ordered.

"Coming right up,"Yu Xin said smiling gently and proceeded to serve them drinks.

"Yunxi-ge,can I talk to you ?"Su Liang asked showing her puppy eyes.

"I'm busy,"Li Yunxi replied curtly.

"She has something important to tell you,"Wei Nuo interrupted confidently.

"You can go I'll manage,"Yu Xin added.

Li Yunxi reluctantly left the counter with Su Liang and the two of them went to the smoking area to talk.

"You didn't pick up my calls,"Su Liang said dejectedly.

"I thought I made it clear."

"I know you said you don't date but I still like you no matter how many times you reject me. You once said you like art so I got tickets for this art gallery. I was asking if you'd like to go with me. I swear if you go I will stop calling you and I won't disturb you anymore,"She said firmly doing a three finger salute.

"Really?"Li Yunxi questioned sounding unconvinced.

She nodded enthusiastically and he stretched out his hand hesitantly taking the ticket. If there was anything he wished right now was the girl to get the hell out of his life but he didn't want to hurt her especially in a physical way.

"I will go with you, but if you don't keep your promise don't blame me for being rude"he warned her.

"Fine,"She agreed with a mirthful smile and turned to walk away.

*****

"What did he say?"Wei Nuo whispered.

"He agreed,"she whisper yelled and jumped with excitement like a kid.

"I told you persistence is the key,"Wei Nuo said proudly.

"Who is she? Your crush?"Yu Xin asked her eyes watching the interaction between the two excited girls.

"We slept together once and she wants us to be a thing and..."

"You don't like her back?"

"Yes but mainly because I don't do relationships."

"I get it. But she doesn't look like she'll give up soon."

"Yeah,"Li Yunxi sighed with exasperation.

"What are you guys talking about?"Xiao Hui chimed in interrupting their conversation.

"We were...uh talking about a customer,"Yu Xin answered,a slight tint of red creeping up on her rosy cheeks.

"A customer? Male or female?"

"A female. She's a regular here so Yunxi was telling me about her."

*****

There had been a subtle underlying tension whenever Gu Shan and Li Yunxi met. Their stares were awkward especially during lunchtime when the four of them gathered. Gu Shan felt a little pressured by their last conversation at the smoking area so he had been lying low for the past few days. He was busy researching about his own body to find out his possible erogenous zones.

" I'm going to the toilet,"Gu Shan declared suddenly,got up from his seat without waiting for their response.

"Is he alright?"Xiao Hui inquired studying Gu Shan's receding figure.

"I think so. He talked much during the lecture and he feels drained so maybe he needs to recharge,"Liu Daxun clarified.

"Oh yeah he's an introvert,"Xiao Hui agreed.

The guys ate quietly and paid for their meal afterwards and yet Gu Shan hadn't come back from the toilet.

"I'll go check up on him,"Liu Daxun volunteered.

While the lady who owned the food stall was carrying the dishes away from their table she tripped and fell. All the porcelain bowls shattered on the hard floor and she got a few cuts on her arm. Xiao Hui and Liu Daxun rushed over to help her.

"I'll go check up on Gu Shan,"Li Yunxi offered leaving the two helping the lady clean up the mess.

When Li Yunxi arrived at the washroom , there was only one toilet occupied so he didn't have to keep knocking all the other doors to find him. He knocked the exact door where Gu Shan was in but there was no response. Li Yunxi knocked several times and there was still no response and so he decided to try opening it.He pushed the door and to his surprise the door wasn't locked from inside. Then he was met by the most shocking sight of the sleeping boy - Gu Shan was seated on the floor hugging his legs. His head was gently pillowed by his knees and his breaths were shallow and steady. Li Yunxi shook him and Gu Shan squinted his eyes open whining at the disturbance.

"Wake up how can you sleep in such a place? " Li Yunxi scolded him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. I didn't sleep a wink last night."

" And what the hell were you doing all night?"

"Homework."

"What homework?" Li Yunxi snorted in annoyance.

"Well you asked where I liked to be touched the most so I've been googling to see if my erogenous zone can matched the ones mentioned by the sex experts."

"Are you crazy? You stayed all night googling where you would like to be touched the most?" Li Yunxi could not believe what he was hearing right now.

Gu Shan nodded weakly and smiled sheepishly. Li Yunxi pulled him up from the ground pinning him against the wall.

"If you're so determined to find it then I will help you."

"I also saw many sexual activities and I would like to explore them. Can you help me find out if I can enjoy them?"

"Yes. We can do whatever you want as long as you're ready,"Li Yunxi assured him.

"Then can I take notes?"Gu Shan asked innocently fluttering his long eyelashes at him.

"What?"

"I asked can I take notes of the activities after doing them?"

"You really like taking notes of everything,huh?"Li Yunxi teased him.

"It will be like a sex review diary. If we do something I can write a review of how I felt that way I can determine what I like and don't like."

"A sex review diary? You mean you'll evaluate our acts of intimacy?"

"Exactly. We're just casual flings of course you have to make me feel good and I have to grade your performance to see if we can continue or not."

"Fine. I'll try my best not to disappoint you,"Li Yunxi promised.
