Chapter 56: Indirect Retaliation

Remaining in this position, they nestled together silently. In the long-awaited quiet, Lin Xi could vaguely feel the part pressing against him from below faintly stirring again.

The soreness all over his body made him slowly close his eyes with a low gasp. He could vaguely feel Yan Xingzhou move slightly. He had already prepared himself to welcome another climax, only to hear an extremely low and hoarse voice ask, “How are you feeling?”

Lin Xi paused slightly and finally looked up.

The next second, he crashed directly into the depths of those profound eyes.

It was clear that they were still filled with forbearance and restraint, but on that face, he could finally capture a trace of the Yan Xingzhou he was familiar with from ordinary days.

In a state where he should have been utterly exhausted, Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Full of teasing, he answered the question with a question: “What, are you finally lucid?”

“…”

Yan Xingzhou said, “Let’s get up first and then talk.”

Perhaps due to the recent release of desire, it at least allowed Yan Xingzhou to finally regain his sanity amidst the chaotic ability fluctuations. He mustered his strength to help Lin Xi up. The two, who were usually high and mighty, now leaned on each other, stumbling out of the pool. Paired with their disheveled clothes, they looked as pathetic as could be.

After struggling comically out of the transparent films at the bottom that were difficult to get a footing on, they stumbled forward from exhaustion. The two fell together in a state of weightlessness.

The moment they fell, Yan Xingzhou didn’t forget to give a forceful pull to switch their positions, placing himself underneath to steadily support the other person.

Lin Xi readily accepted the situation and used the CEO as a human cushion. He lay sprawled on top of Yan Xingzhou, making no move to get up. “Didn’t you have a lot of strength just now? How come you’re out of energy now? Yan Xingzhou, you aren’t one of those legendary types who are only fierce at home, are you?”

“…………”

Being teased repeatedly, Yan Xingzhou could feel the resentment in Lin Xi’s words. His peripheral vision caught the distinct marks left on their messy clothes. He fell silent for a moment before saying, “After we get out, you can do whatever you want with me, ngh—! You? Hiss…”

With Lin Xi’s movement, the rest of his words were left unsaid as he let out another low gasp.

Accompanied by the electric current that instantly spread throughout his body were the instigator’s suggestive words: “Compared to ‘after we get out,’ I think we should perhaps think more clearly about how to deal with the situation now. After all, your body’s reaction is always much more honest than that mouth of yours.”

As Lin Xi spoke, his hand roamed rhythmically. Throughout the process, his gaze unwaveringly captured every inch of change in Yan Xingzhou’s expression. His heterochromatic pupils curved slightly, and despite his utterly wretched state, he seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

He could feel the already stirring presence gradually becoming firm. The chest beneath him vibrated faintly with the man’s intermittent low gasps. A fine sheen of sweat covered the area around his beautifully shaped collarbones, a sexy sight that further stirred carnal desire.

If a certain good-for-nothing Contaminant hadn’t had the extreme self-awareness to knock itself out first, he would probably have to seriously call it to account right now.

“Just endure it,” my foot. Up until now, although Yan Xingzhou had indeed been forcefully pulled back from the brink of losing control, the so-called time limit of the Charm Water obviously hadn’t passed. If he had really listened to that nonsense and forcibly delayed things at the beginning, the final result would probably have been him and Yan Xingzhou driving each other completely mad.

The force in Lin Xi’s hand increased. He was satisfied to hear Yan Xingzhou let out an irrepressible, broken moan, and he reveled in the mental fluctuations that flooded the surroundings.

He slowly leaned down, lightly licking away every drop of sweat around Yan Xingzhou’s collarbones with the tip of his tongue. The moment his fingers tightened slightly, the speed of everything else quickened as well.

“You… really are… as al… ways…”

Yan Xingzhou’s voice was almost squeezed from his tense throat. Under such circumstances, the body that had been stimulated by the Charm Water was already completely immersed in instinct. Every sweep of the tongue could cause a tremor of extreme excitement, and coupled with Lin Xi’s utterly merciless actions, the rest of his words were completely cut off by heavy panting.

After regaining his sanity, it wasn’t that Yan Xingzhou couldn’t restrain himself, but he also knew that Lin Xi was doing this entirely to prevent him from pushing himself too hard again.

Of course, to a certain extent, this kind of care was also filled with a form of indirect retaliation born from someone’s wicked nature.

This man he liked had always been one to repay every grievance.

The moment Yan Xingzhou’s pupils widened slightly, they met Lin Xi’s smiling, heterochromatic eyes.

Their gazes collided, as if something circulating around them exploded in an instant. A momentary intense feeling rushed to his head. He reached out, grabbed Lin Xi’s smooth neck, kneaded it twice, and pulled him forward, kissing him deeply. Their roaming tongues intertwined. At the same time, his already tense body, like a tightly drawn bowstring, welcomed it cooperatively, and all rhythm, along with their breathing, suddenly intensified to the extreme.

As his whole body briefly left the ground, Yan Xingzhou clearly heard a low moan from Lin Xi amidst their tangled breaths. It was like a secret key unlocking some space, and all the mental fluctuations he had been trying hard to suppress erupted with a roar.

A huge, covetable energy instantly swept through his entire body, making Lin Xi feel as if the sensitivity of all his cells had been tuned to the maximum without warning. It also sent his entire being into a brand-new world shrouded in light.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he, who had clearly held the dominant position from the very beginning, was ultimately unable to avoid Yan Xingzhou’s interference at this moment.

This man’s ability fluctuations were simply—too tempting for him, whose contamination value was constantly increasing.

After a moment, the surrounding ability fluctuations finally dispersed a little, but they were still extremely dense.

Such a strong and domineering aura was enough to make all ordinary ability users shrink back, but Lin Xi would twitch his nose from time to time, looking quite pleased.

Yan Xingzhou cupped Lin Xi’s chin and brought him closer, kissing him again as if savoring the taste. He made no effort to hide the weariness in his voice. “Satisfied now?”

Lin Xi took the opportunity to lick his dry lips. “And if I say I’m not?”

After a brief silence, Yan Xingzhou said, “I told you, after we get out, you can do whatever you want with me. If that just now wasn’t satisfying enough, you can also…”

Hearing this, Lin Xi raised his eyes with great interest. “Also what?”

Meeting his gaze, Yan Xingzhou replied, “You can also continue to torment me in other ways.”

Lin Xi laughed out loud at that. “How come I never discovered before that you’re actually into this?”

Yan Xingzhou looked at him. “I just think you seem to like it.”

“…”

Such a response was a bit too blunt, causing Lin Xi to be momentarily stunned. After he processed it, he found it amusing. “What, are you planning to unconditionally cooperate with me no matter what I like?”

Yan Xingzhou: “Of course.”

The unhesitating answer made Lin Xi lower his eyes and stare at the man. A moment later, he leaned down as if giving a reward and delivered a long, sticky French kiss, only pulling away when their breathing had deepened again. “In that case, let’s find a chance after we get out, and we can… play… to-ge-ther… properly.”

A glance at Yan Xingzhou’s expression was enough for Lin Xi to confirm the current situation, and he finally deigned to stand up slowly.

He glanced down at his own state, clearly dissatisfied, and his brows furrowed.

Yan Xingzhou took in all of Lin Xi’s changing expressions and slowly straightened his collar. “It’ll be clean once we get out.”

Lin Xi looked up, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding water that was completely sealed off by the transparent barrier. He chuckled lightly. “Indeed. And, we should probably hurry up now. If I’m not mistaken, Su Qiuyin’s team is already on their way. If he comes in and finds you here too, the stage we’ve worked so hard to set up will probably be dismantled on the spot.”

“If the stage is gone, we can build another one. But you…” Yan Xingzhou glanced at Lin Xi’s overly strange red, vertical pupils.

“Don’t worry.” Lin Xi caressed his scarlet-rimmed eyes, a remnant of his excitement, with his thumb. “I don’t want Su Qiuyin to see me in this ghostly state. Otherwise, before I can even infiltrate his team, I’ll be directly sent to the research institute.”

“As long as you know.”

Yan Xingzhou extended a hand towards Lin Xi.

It was a very gentlemanly gesture of invitation. Lin Xi understood, raised an eyebrow slightly, and calmly placed his hand in Yan Xingzhou’s palm.

The moment their hands clasped, the surrounding barrier collapsed with a roar.

The overwhelming tide instantly engulfed them. The two figures, blending into the azure expanse, pulled each other and swam towards the surface.
