Contract Romance Reality Show: My Rival Always Wants to Make It Real chapter 84

Chapter 84: Excessive Seeking

Lu Ciheng closed the door to the room, his mind still pondering what felt off. As a Beagle with high possessiveness, he had vaguely felt a gaze on Xie Shibai since boarding, and he instinctively loathed that gaze.

Suddenly, a slender, pale hand reached out from the adjacent washroom. Before Lu Ciheng could react, it grabbed his collar and pulled him forcefully inside.

The netizens in the livestream could only see the moment Lu Ciheng was yanked in after the camera switched back to the room.

[!! What happened!]

[That hand belonged to Xie-laoshi, right? Why is Xie-laoshi being so proactive today, dragging Lu-gou inside!]

[What are they doing! Show us, ahhh!]

[Wow, Xie-laoshi seemed so ‘top’ (gong) in that moment.]

[Lu-gou must be swooning.]

[I don’t know about Lu-gou, but I’m certainly swooning.]

[Ahhh, I want to be Xie-laoshi’s dog!]

[Xie-laoshi, grab me! My collar is loose!]

[That move was so hot!]

[Xie-laoshi really has that ‘master’ energy.]

[This time, a certain Beagle is going to be ecstatic, being ‘stamped’ by his master.]

Pulled unexpectedly, Lu Ciheng’s dark eyes flickered with surprise as he stumbled into the washroom.

With a ‘thud,’ the two of them collided. A sturdy arm braced against Xie Shibai’s side as Lu Ciheng instinctively used his other hand to cushion the back of Xie Shibai’s head, preventing him from hitting the mirror above the vanity.

Their legs were pressed together, the heat of their skin entwining through the fabric of their clothes.

Lu Ciheng’s brow arched, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. “Xie-laoshi, why so proactive today?”

Xie Shibai’s face showed no emotion, the madness deep in his eyes suppressed with great restraint. He gripped Lu Ciheng’s collar, his cold eyes looking directly into Lu Ciheng’s as he said bluntly, “I want treatment now.”

It was his first time honestly expressing his desire, yet it was because he feared there might never be another chance for contact in the future.

This rare proactivity made Lu Ciheng hold his breath. His dark eyes stared intently at Xie Shibai, his Adam’s apple bobbing. He couldn’t withstand even a hint of initiative from the other man. His thumb grazed Xie Shibai’s jaw, grinding against it with deliberate slowness as he drawled, “Now? It’s not time for treatment yet.”

Xie Shibai’s brow furrowed, his grip on Lu Ciheng’s collar tightening. His cold eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. “Why is there so much nonsense? Lu Ciheng, since when have you ever been punctual?”

Lu Ciheng paused for a few seconds before suddenly snapping to his senses. His dark eyes fixed on Xie Shibai, nearly blinded by the rare initiative. He gripped Xie Shibai’s jaw with a touch of force, staring straight into his eyes. His tone carried a hint of danger as he asked slowly, “Xie-laoshi, you aren’t hiding something from me, are you?”

Xie Shibai’s gaze shifted for a second, his lips pursed as he masked his emotions. A second later, he said, “Are you going to kiss me or not?”

Lu Ciheng’s mood soured even more, his gaze darkening. He instinctively felt Xie Shibai was hiding something, and it wasn’t something small.

Xie Shibai let go of Lu Ciheng’s collar and tried to push him away. “If you won’t, forget it. I’ll find someone else.”

Lu Ciheng’s expression dropped. The words ‘find someone else’ triggered his nerves. He grabbed Xie Shibai’s hands firmly, suddenly lifting him by the waist and pinning him onto the vanity. He forced Xie Shibai’s hands above his head, his arm barred across the other’s waist as they pressed tightly together.

Xie Shibai’s knees instinctively clamped around his waist, and the hot breath against his face felt like a scorching wind.

Pale hands were pinned against the mirror by large, veiny ones. Lu Ciheng’s slightly darker skin made Xie Shibai’s skin look exceptionally white and delicate. A moderate amount of pressure on the wrists left a faint red mark.

Lu Ciheng’s voice was deep, radiating a sense of danger from within. “Find who? Su Xingran or Li Lechi? Xie-laoshi, you can’t even handle physical contact with them.”

Xie Shibai’s chin tilted up slightly, his slightly long black hair brushing against his neck. His eyes rested on Lu Ciheng’s face, his fingertips curling slightly. “That’s not necessarily true.”

Lu Ciheng stared at Xie Shibai for a few seconds before saying in defeat, “Xie-laoshi, you’re really cruel.”

The possessive human-dog would never give Xie Shibai the chance to touch anyone else.

His nose brushed against Xie Shibai’s. With his own little schemes in mind, his voice turned low and husky. “Xie-laoshi, you know that me kissing you has nothing to do with ‘treatment,’ right?”

Xie Shibai turned his head slightly, avoiding a direct answer. He gave the other a cool, unhurried look. “If you aren’t going to kiss me, then get out.”

Lu Ciheng muttered something about him being ‘cunning’ before leaning down to block Xie Shibai’s lips. Unlike their previous gradual approaches, this kiss was forceful and heavy. He drove inside, swirling against the soft tongue in a wet, sucking motion. He ground against the softness of the oral cavity, not even letting the saliva escape, gripping Xie Shibai’s jaw and pulling everything into his mouth.

The overly heavy kiss made Lu Ciheng’s movements somewhat aggressive. He ground against the full lips, making them red and damp. The air was filled with nothing but the sounds of wet squelching and burning breaths.

Xie Shibai’s lips parted as he panted. The physical contact with Lu Ciheng made his touch-starved body feel comfortable, an excessive greed akin to a revelry before the end of the world.

The madness hidden in his heart seemed to stimulate his body’s craving for skin contact, leaving him with a faint sense of insufficiency.

He shifted his wrists, feeling that this touch wasn’t enough. He wanted more.

Lu Ciheng pressed against Xie Shibai’s lips to give him a moment to breathe. His dark eyes stared directly at the radiant face in his arms, landing on the red, wet lips. When Xie Shibai looked up, the corners of his eyes held a flush of red, beautiful and enticing. Lu Ciheng’s Adam’s apple rolled; his body was already getting hard with excitement.

In this position, they were very close. Xie Shibai’s knees were pressed against his waist, his long legs touching him; he was trapped in his arms with nowhere to go.

Lu Ciheng’s heart was racing, his breath so hot it felt like it could catch fire. He simply squeezed the other’s jaw and pecked at him a few more times, unable to get enough.

Xie Shibai’s lips were red from the friction, his eyes clouded with a thin layer of mist as he remained immersed in the comfortable physical contact.

Lu Ciheng leaned his head against Xie Shibai’s neck, panting slightly. If he hadn’t sensed Xie Shibai was hiding something, he wouldn’t have restrained his movements.

Xie Shibai’s neck was swept by the scalding heat. His fingertips twitched. He used his other hand to tug at Lu Ciheng’s collar and said with dissatisfaction, “Continue.”

Lu Ciheng licked his lips. The hand across Xie Shibai’s waist moved down slightly. His voice was low and carried a vague hint. “Xie-laoshi, are you sure you want to continue?”

Xie Shibai paused for a second. He looked down, his expression appearing calm, but the corners of his eyes were stained with red. He hooked his finger into Lu Ciheng’s clothes and said slowly with a touch of provocation, “Weren’t you going to show me how long you can last? Or are you just incapable?”

The next second, Xie Shibai felt the grip on his waist tighten suddenly. Their bodies pressed together firmly through their clothes, making him let out a soft gasp.

Lu Ciheng smirked. He took Xie Shibai’s hand, moving from the pale wrist up to interlace their fingers. He brought it to his lips for a peck. “Xie-laoshi, if you keep this up, I won’t be able to hold back.”

Xie Shibai could feel the scorching aura radiating from Lu Ciheng. He pursed his lips and pressed his knee against Lu Ciheng’s abdomen in an attempt to push him away. He said nonchalantly, “Had enough kissing. Get lost.”

Lu Ciheng pecked at his lips, his canine teeth grinding lightly against Xie Shibai’s full lips. His dark eyes stared at him, his voice filled with a breathless grievance. “Xie-laoshi, you’re so cruel. Playing with me again.”

Xie Shibai’s lips had become sensitive from being rubbed. Lu Ciheng’s light grinding caused a faint sting. He frowned and reached out to push Lu Ciheng’s face away. “Don’t bite. Are you a dog?”

Lu Ciheng leaned into Xie Shibai’s palm, his dark eyes hiding a heart-stopping desire. “Mm, I’m Xie-laoshi’s puppy.”

He pressed against Xie Shibai’s lips, his voice low. “I’ll be whatever Xie-laoshi wants me to be.”

Xie Shibai pursed his lips, his red mouth slightly parted. He didn’t refuse, but he didn’t explicitly say yes either.

It wasn’t until the very end that Lu Ciheng belatedly realized what was wrong.

Xie Shibai seemed to be engaging in a final, excessive indulgence.

The netizens in the livestream had waited until the flowers withered before Lu Ciheng and Xie Shibai finally emerged from the washroom.

The fans watching with magnifying glasses analyzed every detail, not missing the faint flush on Xie Shibai’s cheeks or Lu-gou’s silent satisfaction.

[That took so long! What did they do?]

[They definitely did everything that should be done!]

[I wish I could go over there and install a camera in the bathroom myself. The production crew is so useless!]

[Xie-laoshi’s face looks a bit red.]

[Not just his face, his mouth is super red too! It looks like Lu-gou kissed him senseless.]

[Was it just kissing? No ‘bang bang bang’?]

[There probably wasn’t enough time for a ‘bang.’]

[Their tension is so high, they went in just to kiss? I don’t believe it! There must have been a ‘bang.’]

[If they banged and Xie-laoshi can still walk, does that mean Lu-gou is no good?]

[Beagle warning!]

[They definitely didn’t bang during this time, but seeing that momentum just now, Xie-laoshi definitely took the initiative to kiss. Another day of envying Lu-gou.]

They had been traveling all day and were very tired, so they decided to rest early and wait until tomorrow to sightsee properly. They didn’t participate in the other nighttime activities on the ship.

Inside the room, Xie Shibai dropped a slip of paper into the sink, letting the water soak it until it was completely washed away.

Tudou was fast asleep in its bed.

Xie Shibai patted the puppy’s head. Before leaving, he looked at the sleeping Lu Ciheng. He didn’t wake him, quietly pushing open the door and heading toward the deck.

In the once-again silent room, the supposedly sleeping Lu Ciheng opened his eyes. His dark gaze fixed on the empty spot, his face grim, and his entire aura turned dangerously dark.

Xie Shibai really was hiding something from him.

Lu Ciheng didn’t believe any ‘male vixen’ could steal his place. He grabbed a jacket to keep the other warm; Xie Shibai had been wearing very little when he left, and the sea breeze at night was cold.

He pushed open the door and followed.
