"Just tell me where it hurts," said Qie Xieling again but before he could poke anything Luo Muchen showed a mischievous grin spread across his face. In a swift motion, he grabbed Qie Xieling’s outstretched hand, pulling him down onto the sandy beach. They tumbled and rolled, their banter blending with the crashing waves and the gentle rustle of the palm trees.

The sand clung to their bodies and for the third time tonight, the security team was shocked half to death. Their boss was a freaking neat freak. The last time one guy stepped on his shoe accidentally and he was demoted to building security at the graveyard shift. He was lucky he still had a job. Now that same boss was rolling in the sand making sand angels. It was unbelievable.

The two were lost in their own little world for a while and the men could hear Qie Xieling yelling, "Muchen, you bastard... Ah, now I have sand in my hair."

Their boss was stupid enough to argue while pulling him down. "You dropped me. Who does that to their husband."

"Husband? There is no ring on my finger," replied Qie Xieling crawling away for his life.

Luo Muchen grabbed him while saying, "Come, let me put a ring on your finger."

Qie Xieling, "..."

"Shameless," he said only for Luo Muchen, in a burst of strength, to scoop Qie Xieling up over his shoulder, eliciting a surprised yelp from his lover.

Qie Xieling’s laughter echoed through the air as he carried him toward the house.

Entering the cosy beach house, the two lovers were greeted by the coolness of the air-conditioning. Luo Muchen carried him up the staircase to the master bedroom. With each step, the sandy footprints were left as a trail, evidence of their playful escapade.

Reaching the top, Luo Muchen gently pushed open the door to the master bedroom and walked over to the bathroom. Sand clung to their clothes, leaving a trail of tiny particles on the tiled floor. He placed Qie Xieling down and said, "Let me help you clean up," but before he could utter another word, Qie Xieling’s mischievous smile turned into a sly grin.

"I wasn’t born yesterday. Mr Luo... your intentions aren’t pure," Qie Xieling teased, his voice laced with playful defiance. He pushed his lover out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him. The sound of the lock clicking echoed in Luo Muchen’s ears, leaving him standing there, slightly perplexed and yet amused.

He leaned against the door, a mixture of longing and amusement in his heart. He could hear the muffled sounds of Qie Xieling’s laughter and the splashing of water as his lover attempted to rid himself of the stubborn sand. Despite being kicked out, Luo Muchen couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth and contentment knowing that Qie Xieling was his. He would give him a ring right now if it were up to him. With a knowing smile, Luo Muchen left the bedroom to clean up.

While Qie Xieling was scrubbing his hair vigorously he heard a voice breaking the tranquil atmosphere. "So, I take it you aren’t coming back home."

"Ahhh, fudge. Why why does it always have to be in the shower? Ugh, I got soap in my eye," he complained after opening his eye unconsciously letting the shampoo get in. He vigorously washed away the foam while Jolie kept talking.

"You could have said something. Your boyfriend is so jealous he refused for anyone to tell me where you went. Well, I have my means," she said and Qie Xieling wiped the water off his face.

"Why are you looking for me?" he asked and Jolie quickly responded.

"I needed to know if you were coming back home or not... oh by the way... should I send you dos and don’ts for the first time having s.e.x?"

Qie Xieling, "..."

"You know I am a censored AI. A very very morally upright AI so I can’t say s.e.x," said Jolie as though that was the issue.

Qie Xieling who had heard Jolie swear like a sailor didn’t believe it. What morally upright AI? More like a perverted AI.

"Just leave. It’s not needed," he said and Jolie listened for once.

"Okay, just don’t overdo it... Oh and um... don’t forget to enjoy. It’s only a game after all," said Jolie planting a seed. She loved happy endings and would do anything to get it.

After Jolie was gone Qie Xieling continued washing but after a short while, he was curious. He had watched porn before out of curiosity but he wasn’t very knowledgeable.

He took his cell phone from the pile of clothes and searched for important information about, as Jolie said it, s.e.x. Because of this, it took Qie Xieling a long time before he came out.

Qie Xieling stepped out of the shower, his pink skin glistening with droplets of water, a stark contrast against the pristine white gown he had been wearing. His hair clung to his forehead, still damp from the steam-filled bathroom. With a towel wrapped around his waist, he made his way to the bed, where there was a flat box.

Curiosity piqued, his heart fluttered as he gently lifted the lid of the box. Inside, neatly folded, lay a set of soft, comfortable pyjamas, a thoughtful gift brought over by Luo Muchen for him.

Qie Xieling’s eyes glimmered with delight as he ran his fingers over the fabric, appreciating the care and attention that had gone into choosing the perfect gift. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he imagined slipping into the cosy ensemble, feeling the gentle embrace of the fabric against his skin.

With the gown discarded, Qie Xieling carefully unfolded the pyjamas and a pair of underwear fell out. With a flash of amusement in his eyes he slipped them on. He wore the pyjamas before walking over to the walk-in closet curious to see what was in there.

He stood in front of Luo Muchen’s walk-in closet, marvelling at its grandeur. The vast space was meticulously organized, with neatly arranged suits and rolls of luxury watches neatly displayed. Each item seemed to be colour-coordinated, creating a visually stunning display.

As Qie Xieling’s eyes wandered through the impressive collection, something caught his attention. It was a vibrant red shopping bag placed on a vanity. Curiosity tugged at him, tempting him to take a peek inside, but he resisted. He didn’t want to invade Luo Muchen’s privacy but he was also nosy. In the end, he decided to stop snooping around.

However, fate had a different plan in store for him. Lost in his thoughts, he accidentally bumped into the shopping bag, causing its contents to spill onto the floor. Qie Xieling’s eyes widened as he took in the sight before him. A sexy outfit lay scattered across the carpet for him to see.
