Xu Xiran smiled at him, “This way I can come find you anytime.”
Fang Mo was a local. If it wasn’t for the selfish reason of taking a vacation and wanting to see him often, Xu Xiran would rather fly home than tidy up an empty house that had not been maintained in a long time.
“No, I don’t think that’s right,” Fang Mo shook his head, and moved closer to him, “Then wouldn’t you be alone for the new year? I can’t bear that.”
“That can’t be helped.” From his words, Xu Xiran already felt warm in his heart, “When the time comes, you can call me and we can celebrate the new year together.”
AD
Fang Mo shifted himself again and the two of them were stuck tightly together, unable to get any closer. Fang Mo stretched out his arms and put them around Xu Xiran, leaning his head on his shoulder.
“…I have another plan,” he said.
“You want to accompany me?” Xu Xiran asked.
“No,” Fang Mo shook his head, and his soft hair rubbed against Xu Xiran’s skin, tickling him, “You come and accompany me. Would you like to come to my house for the new year? Let’s have new year’s dinner together.”
Xu Xiran was surprised: “Your parents would also be there, wouldn’t that be weird?”
“It won’t be weird,” Fang Mo said, “Zou Shun stayed at my house during the last new year. My parents are very nice people, so just come. They’ll treat you well with lots of fish and meat.”
“Zou Shun? Why did he stay at your house during the new year? I thought he’s also a local…” Xu Xiran couldn’t help but feel concerned.
“He had a fight with his family,” Fang Mo let out an awkward smile, “His family found out that he’s… you know, and it was a mess. When the new year came around, he didn’t have much money or a place to go, and when I mentioned that to my parents, they offered to let him live here. It was from then on that our relationship became particularly good.”
For most families, finding out that their son likes men was a big deal. Zou Shun always seemed so confident and carefree and never shied away from his orientation. For a time, Xu Xiran had thought that he must have had the support of his family to be able to come out publicly. This did not seem to be the case.
“Then what happened after? Did his parents accept him?”
Fang Mo shook his head: “No, they’re still quite strict. His parents cut off his living expenses in order to force him to ‘reform’, but he was unwilling to give in, and had been busy working part-time jobs all year and had taken out student loans. Later on, his grandparents felt sorry for him and secretly gave him money every month.”
Xu Xiran sighed in his heart. Seeing Zou Shun’s bright and cheerful personality, he tacitly agreed that he must have been living a smooth life. That was not the case. The saying that every family goes through their own problems seemed to be true here.
Now that he had set foot on this path, sooner or later, there would be a day that he would let his parents know. Not long ago, he had promised his mother that he would take Fang Mo to see her next year. He didn’t know if things would go harmoniously when that day came.
Compared to Zou Shun, he probably would have it a lot easier. In this kind of situation, his complicated family background turned out to work in his favor. Both his parents felt emotionally guilty for him so they rarely would ever restrict him. His mother was always open-minded, and even if his father was furious, his stepmom would definitely help persuade him. If there really was a side that couldn’t accept him and broke ties with him, he would at least still have another side.
Xu Xiran thought about it, and suddenly realized that because of Fang Mo, his whole life trajectory might completely change.
“Are you coming or not!” Fang Mo urged him when he still didn’t get a response.
Xu Xiran reached out his hand and hugged his back.
If that was the case, the trajectory of his life after crossing paths with Fang Mo was certainly going upwards. Fang Mo brought him much more happiness than trouble. He made him feel blessed and made him more confident. He was liked by someone who was attractive, cute, charming, and popular, and made him feel good about himself too.

“As long as your parents don’t mind, then sure,” he said.
“They won’t mind, they definitely won’t mind,” Fang Mo smiled while leaning against his neck, “They even asked if Zou Shun wanted to come over this year.”
“Do your parents know why Zou Shun’s family is unhappy with him?”
“They know,” said Fang Mo, “They think that Zou Shun’s parents are being too unreasonable and they feel sorry for him.”
Xu Xiran was a bit surprised. Fang Mo’s parents were so open-minded, and he didn’t know if his parents would treat their own son the same when it came to his turn.
“Then… Zou Shun won’t be going this year?” Xu Xiran asked.
“Nonsense, he has a place to go this year,” said Fang Mo.
“Is he going to his grandparents’ house?”
“You’re so dumb,” Fang Mo laughed, “Of course he’s going to his partner’s place.”
Xu Xiran sighed with emotion, “That Mr. He looks like he’s quite well-off, Zou Shun won’t have to worry about money in the future.”
“You’re kidding,” Fang Mo said, “He was only broke for a short while. His grandparents have assets, and I mean real assets. Does he really look like someone without money?”
“……”
“Enough about him,” Fang Mo pulled a bit of distance away from him, “If you’re sure, then I’ll go tell my family?”
Xu Xiran nodded, “Mn, it should be fine.”
He only had to tell his dad that he didn’t want to travel. Under normal circumstances, his dad would usually let him go after a few words of persuasion.
“But what reason should I use for coming?” This was basically like meeting a mother-in-law, and Xu Xiran was getting nervous, “Going to a classmate’s home to spend the new year without good reason, wouldn’t that make your parents overthink?”
“Your family members are going on a trip and you don’t want to go, isn’t that already an available reason?” Fang Mo said.
“…Wouldn’t that not be enough?”
“How wouldn’t it be?” Fang Mo laughed, “If you don’t have a home here, then this is the most genuine reason!”
Xu Xiran thought, that’s different. The real reason why I want to stay here is that I don’t want to be away from you for too long.
“You don’t need to feel guilty!” Fang Mo emphasized.
Xu Xiran smiled, “Okay.”
Fang Mo was very happy and immediately kissed him on the lips, then said: “The soundproofing in my house is very good.”
The implication here was too obvious, and it caused Xu Xiran, who was well-rested, naked, and hugging his beloved, to instantly start thinking about bad things.
The entire plan just now was somewhat formalized, and the integration in and of itself was more significant than anything. This satisfied the softest part of his heart.
But another corner of his heart softly whispered, Fang Mo hasn’t shed tears yet today, is there something missing?
He moved his hand which was originally resting on Fang Mo’s back, downwards a little.
Fang Mo did not evade, and said, “The night is still young.”
His hint was clear. Xu Xiran was exhilarated and was about to kiss him when he suddenly inwardly panicked that things were far from good.
According to their agreement, he was to be the one lying down next.
This realization made him clear his mind of desire in an instant.
Seeing that his movements were unnaturally stiff, Fang Mo was puzzled: “What’s the matter?”
“It’s probably inconvenient for you to move now, is it?” Xu Xiran smiled at him, “Is it a little uncomfortable there?”
Fang Mo tried to move a bit: “A little bit.”
“Then why don’t we…”
“But it doesn’t hurt, it just feels a little weird,” Fang Mo spoke again, “It should be okay for you to enter now, isn’t that good?”
Xu Xiran was taken aback, but Fang Mo didn’t seem to react. This made him wonder whether he should remind him or not. Wouldn’t it be too insincere to just play dumb like this?
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that he was still hesitating, Fang Mo was a little unhappy, “Did it not feel good?”
Xu Xiran thought to himself, it’s not my fault that Fang Mo asked for it.
He licked his lips, and finally his hands relaxed.
“Okay,” he said, “I’ll review again, and you see if I’ve made any progress.”

When Fang Mo had asked Liu Xiaochang for advice, Liu Xiaochang emphasized to him that aftercare was very crucial. Even if it’s for friends with benefits, it’s very disrespectful to not care for them afterward.
If it’s only for doing it, then booking a room for an hour is enough. But cuddling and talking afterwards for a while, kissing, and even holding each other to sleep, and saying good morning after waking up, can give someone a completely different feeling.
Satisfy the body first, then care for the mind. The combination of the two is called making love.
Liu Xiaochang was usually unreliable, but he was undoubtedly a master in this regard. No wonder Yang Lin was eaten to death by him.
Fang Mo had misjudged his physical condition and indulged too much. When he woke up the next day, his body fell apart, and his legs felt so weak that he couldn’t walk. But immediately after opening his eyes, he got a good morning kiss, which offset all these negative feelings.
Xu Xiran looked ashamed: “Should it be me next time?”
This proposal was rejected by Fang Mo without hesitation.
“No.” At this moment, he finally had a reason to explain that he was not a straight man at all, “Yesterday you were so cool, I don’t want to be on top anymore.”
Xu Xiran was astonished.
In order to prevent him from saying terrible words like “Really? Then let me try too”, Fang Mo immediately added: “I even called you my husband, so I have resigned myself to my fate. Don’t worry about it.”
“Did it really feel that good?” Xu Xiran was delighted, “Then I’m simply a genius!”
“Mn, mn,” Fang Mo nodded irresponsibly, “You’re amazing, I’ve got a good bargain.”
Male creatures were too easily coaxed in this regard. Xu Xiran immediately felt elated.
Fang Mo inwardly prayed, hoping that he would not just be satisfied with how things were at this moment, and that he would improve next time.
For two inexperienced novices, there was bound to be a lot of discomfort for their first time. In comparison to the physical pleasure, it was the emotional pleasure that was actually much stronger. He had so many chaotic thoughts during the process, such as, “I’ve finally waited to this day”, “it hurts so bad, I have to hold back”, “he looks so sexy like this”, “so fucking hot”, “he’s really so cute”. With all these feelings and emotions mixed together, the final taste was so much sweeter than he had imagined.
As they returned to school, Xu Xiran suggested carrying him again, but Fang Mo firmly refused. It was not because of embarrassment, but the fact that that position would tear him apart with pain.
“What about bridal style?” Xu Xiran was eager to try.
Fang Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Can’t we just slowly walk back!”
~
When they finally got back to the dormitory, they unexpectedly met Liu Xiaochang at the door.
Liu Xiaochang was amazed: “Why are you unable to move well?”
Fang Mo was ashamed. He did not use the careful teaching of his master at all. Not only was he useless, but Xu Xiran was also basically useless. This person was acting entirely on instinct, and his skills were completely at the rudimentary stage.
“I accidentally fell off the bed when I turned over,” Fang Mo said expressionlessly.
“Damn, wow,” Liu Xiaochang sighed, “So intense.”
After he said this, he patted Fang Mo on the shoulder: “Be careful next time.”
~
There was no next time yet for the time being. Fang Mo recuperated for two days before that weird feeling whenever he moved had finally completely disappeared.
During this time, he called his family and informed them of the major event.
“I have a classmate who’s not going home for break and wants to stay with us,” he said.
His mother sighed with sorrow: “Is it Xiao Zou again? Really, it’s been so long, why are his mom and dad so coldhearted?”
“…It’s not him,” Fang Mo felt a bit shy for once, “It’s another friend. You haven’t met them before yet.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
“Is it a boy?” His mother asked tentatively.
“Mn,” Fang Mo nodded at the phone.
His mother was silent for a while, and asked again: “Are you two dating?”
Fang Mo blushed and nodded again: “…Mn.”
“Ai, really,” the tone on the other end of the line sounded a little overwhelmed, “Then when will you come home? Your father and I will make preparations ahead of time.”
“There’s no need, what we usually have is fine,” Fang Mo cleared his throat, “Also, can you… can you pretend to not know?”
“Not know what?”
“If he knows that you know about our relationship, he’ll be very reserved,” Fang Mo said, “You can just treat him like an ordinary classmate of mine, okay?”
“Why would he feel embarrassed with us?” His mother laughed, “Is he very shy?
“No it’s not that, we’ve only been together for a short time, and it feels like formally meeting the parents. Wouldn’t it feel embarrassing?” Fang Mo continued, “Just be natural and treat him like Zou Shun.”
“Ai,” his mother sighed, “You, you’re overthinking too much.”
Author’s note:
Xu Xiran’s self-awareness at this stage: he has a big tool and has done a good job.
Fang Mo: … as long as you are happy.
