“Yes!” Xi Xingling happily threw himself onto his bed. He rolled around several times in excitement and almost fell off.
He was too excited to sleep, and got up early in the morning. He opened his wardrobe and started to pick an outfit to wear that day, including shoes, scarves, and other accessories.
Thanks to Li Dong, the clothes and shoes he bought last time they went shopping can last all throughout the winter. But Xingling is still a normal working class person, and he does not dare wear name brands out when going to work as that would attract too much attention. He can only wear these fancy clothes out for his own enjoyment.
Li Dong is right—what he needs now is not to crave the shallow admiration of others, but to obtain inner fulfillment and happiness.
As long as you are happy, wouldn’t everything you wear be beautiful?
But of course, it’s still nice to be able to enjoy these designer brands once in a while, and Xi Xingling still loves these fancy clothes.
He aspires to become a top jewelry designer so that he can one day openly wear all his luxury goods and show off.
The day Li Dong was scheduled to come back was the weekend, and Xi Xingling spent the days before applying facial masks like crazy. Before going out today, he applied one final mask. Xingling had his friend introduce his mask to him before, which was specified to be specifically good for when meeting their boyfriends.
Xingling muttered the word boyfriend to himself several times, beaming to himself, a sweet expression on his face.
“La la la,” he hummed as he dressed himself. He wore a sweater with light blue skinny jeans, a coat on top, and lambskin short boots, which are both warm and beautiful.
Li Dong didn’t like the smell of perfume, so Xi Xingling didn’t wear any today. He put on a scarf and went out carrying a black tassel bag.
It was only eleven o’clock when Xingling arrived at the airport, a full two hours before Li Dong’s plane was scheduled to land.
Xi Xingling’s mood was not changed at all by this long wait. He sat happily at the exit of the terminal for two hours without any impatience at all. On the contrary, he quite liked the feeling of waiting for Li Dong, somewhat sour and somewhat sweet in his heart.
If he had to sum up the feeling, it should be love…
The joy in Xingling’s expression could not be concealed, and all his hearts were worn on his sleeve. He whipped out his sketchbook and pencil and began drafting a design at the crowded airport, based on such a feeling.
“I wonder if the Second Young Master will be able to tolerate the airplane food?”
Xi Xingling waited here sketching until a little past twelve o’clock. He was a little hungry, but he didn’t want to eat by himself. He wanted to wait for Li Dong to have lunch with him.
“Forget it… let me go buy something to eat for myself…” Xi Xingling muttered. He was just too hungry. He put away his sketchbook and pencil. When he stood up, he found that there were many girls around him, covertly paying attention to him.
But Xingling is gay—in fact he’s sure he could not get any gay-er. But he’s still flattered to be noticed by girls, as it’s a testament to his beautiful appearance.
Xi Xingling bought himself a rice ball, and by the time he began snacking, it was already one o’clock. He kept checking the time obsessively.
He didn’t know exactly when Li Dong’s plane would land, so he had to wait for another half hour past one.
He finally saw a group of people walk out, eventually. Li Dong was among them, dressed very subtly with a baseball cap and a mask. But his height and aura were so outstanding that he still stood out amongst the crowd. People who are familiar with him can recognize him at a glance.
“Second Young Master… Second Young Master!” Xi Xingling was ecstatic. He still held half a rice ball and a partially drunken water in hand, but still rushed into the crowd.
The scene was weirdly sappy. Li Dong felt very embarrassed when Xingling loudly called him and wanted to say something to let him calm down a bit, but he had no chance.
He only had a bit of time to pull down his mask before Xi XIngling pounced on him like a little wolf.
“I missed you so much…” Li Dong choked back his stern admonishing words, hearing Xingling cry as he hugged his neck.
“Stop crying, you’re going to smudge your eyeliner.” Li Dong hesitated for a moment, and then gave in and held Xingling up by his butt to prevent him from falling.
“Nonsense, I’m not even wearing eyeliner.” Xi Xingling raised his head, looked at Li Dong’s lips and kissed him. “Mua~”
He then pulled back and looked at Li Dong longingly for a while. He then realized that Li Dong was holding him up with one hand and carrying his luggage in another. What a strong man—this was deathly attractive to Xingling.
“You are so manly.” Xi Xingling really loves him to death. All shou are probably jealous of him right now.
Xingling hugged Li Dong’s neck tighter. This is his idol, no other coquettish guys or girls can get involved.
Xingling flirtatiously asked: “Where have you been all this month? Have you been seduced by someone else?”
Li Dong put XIngling down finally. “I’m getting tired, you can stand on your own.” He then answered Xingling’s questions. “I went out to travel a bit, see a few places. As for having someone else…” He smiled and mischievously pinched Xi Xingling’s butt. “What do you think? The most replaceable thing in this world are sluts.”
Xi Xingling pouted, and his neatly trimmed eyebrows tilted down. “But with me, isn’t it better?”
He held Li Dong’s arm and stuck close to Li Dong’s body.
“I suppose so.” Li Dong stared at Xingling’s face and felt that this guy was still pretty pleasing to his eyes. “Even if others are coquettish, they still aren’t as cute as you.”
Xi Xingling immediately showed a happy smile. This was the ultimate compliment!
Xingling was incredibly easy to please. When he isn’t being needy or self-destructive, he’s actually quite likable.
Li Dong took pity on him and kissed him on the mouth. He pulled back to see an even more radiant smile on Xingling’s face.
All of Xingling’s reactions are amplified several times over, and being with him requires no mental effort at all. In fact, you might even be enlightened by all you can perceive from him sometimes.
Li Dong felt that compared to Gu Xichen, who was coercive and sly, he still preferred Xi Xingling, who was pure and direct.
“Can’t you walk by yourself?” Li Dong asked, referring to the XIngling who was currently hanging off his arm.
“No. People see you and lose the ability to walk straight; my legs are weak.” Xi Xingling said confidently.
…This kind of obsessive behavior is truly insane.
Li Dong couldn’t think of anything else to say, so he directly hung up the phone.
