FSGOR Ch56

“What are you doing?”

That cold and sharp question rang out with a bite.

In an instant, every passenger in the carriage turned to look. The air seemed to freeze over, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

And coincidentally, a patrolling train officer happened to pass by at that moment. Seeing the young man gripping the wrist of a man in a hat and mask, it looked like a fight was about to break out.

The officer’s expression turned alert as he quickly stepped forward. “What’s going on here?”

“……”

Jiang Tian flushed completely red.

Now, with the entire carriage staring at him and the officer actively stepping in to help, it was obvious everyone assumed the masked man beside him—Chu Xuyu—was some kind of public threat.

What if they really took him away?!

It was all just a huge misunderstanding—caused by not knowing who the other person was. But looking at it now, this was nothing more than a playful moment between lovers.

He wanted to crawl out of the train window in embarrassment, while beside him, Chu Xuyu looked completely unbothered. One arm resting lazily on the armrest, his posture relaxed, waiting for Jiang Tian to explain.

The officer, seeing Jiang Tian struggling to speak, assumed he was too distressed to respond and gently tried to comfort him. “It’s okay. Try to calm down.” He was about to ask the man in question to remove his mask for ID verification.

At that moment—

Jiang Tian was still gripping his wrist, showing no sign of letting go. He quickly said, “Sorry… I was just messing around with a friend.”

The officer: “???”

Looking at the clearly off-beat interaction between the two, the officer’s mouth twitched. After glancing between them a few more times, he simply said, “As long as there’s no issue. If anything comes up, just let a train staff member know.”

Jiang Tian looked calm on the outside, but inside, he was mortified to the core. After the officer walked away, he finally sat down again, belatedly remembering to say thank you.

After a while—

Jiang Tian let out a slow breath. “When did you get on the train?”

Though honestly, he already had a rough idea. After passing through the gate, he’d been staring at his phone the whole time, paying no attention to his surroundings.

Maybe, when he thought they had parted ways, Chu Xuyu had actually been following behind all along—keeping a steady distance—and then boarded another carriage during staggered boarding.

All in all, Jiang Tian was both annoyed and amused. He’d been teased again by this man and was left speechless.

And yet, even after he’d asked out loud, Chu Xuyu clearly heard him but pretended to be deaf, offering no response.

Wearing a cap and mask, the man didn’t speak. And now, seeing that no one was paying attention anymore, he boldly started groping him again—flagrantly feeling him up.

Jiang Tian: “……”

The pervert was his supposedly mature and composed boyfriend.

Already flustered from earlier, Jiang Tian now turned into a literal steam engine, face red and puffing heat, as Chu Xuyu shamelessly put his hands all over him.

Strangely, he didn’t even think about resisting. His senses were heightened, and he just let himself feel the teasing touches.

Chu Xuyu’s hands were large and strong—starting with a slow rub on Jiang Tian’s thigh, then moving upward, lifting the edge of his T-shirt and slipping inside, blatantly feeling up his abs in broad daylight.

Jiang Tian shuddered instinctively.

He raised a hand to his forehead, trying to block the man’s mischievous touch, forced to pretend nothing was happening despite being messed with.

Luckily, Chu Xuyu didn’t go too far. After getting his fill of teasing, he just rested his hand on Jiang Tian’s stomach.

Jiang Tian turned his face away, skin burning hot. Flustered, he glanced back and mouthed: “…Stop being a pervert.”

Chu Xuyu clearly understood, his eyes curving into a deeper smile, but thankfully, he withdrew his hand.

Still, he insisted on pretending to be a stranger—refusing to answer—staring at Jiang Tian with a mock-perverted look, tugging his mask down slightly and leaning in to whisper by his ear, “You really have no sense of vigilance in public?”

His warm breath was scorching, brushing his ear, turning Jiang Tian’s skin the color of sunset.

Jiang Tian muttered back, “No one else would act like you.”

“……”

Chu Xuyu narrowed his eyes, clearly more provoked by that, but Jiang Tian quickly stopped him with a hand on his chest. “There are people everywhere. You can’t do this kind of perverted stuff.”

Chu Xuyu couldn’t stop his lips from curling up. “I read online that there are photo studios that recreate… scenarios.”

Jiang Tian: “Huh?”

Chu Xuyu: “What was that scene called again?”

He spoke in all seriousness, which made Jiang Tian completely unprepared for what came next:

“Train Molester.”

Jiang Tian: “…………”

The pure-hearted college boy was red down to the nape of his neck. He suspected this was revenge for that one time he invited Chu Xuyu to watch online GV together.

Thankfully, their stomachs interrupted. Just then, the food cart rolled by. Jiang Tian quickly ordered two of the fanciest meal boxes, stopping any further weird talk.

He quietly paid the bill, showing off his boyfriend duties in public. Meanwhile, Chu Xuyu’s smile didn’t leave his lips. The long journey was unexpectedly full of fun.

They chatted over lunch. Jiang Tian still insisted on knowing when exactly Chu Xuyu had boarded and where he’d been hiding. He seemed obsessively determined to get answers.

People in love are like this.

Just thinking about how Chu Xuyu—a CEO with a private jet—stood hidden in some train carriage just to give him a surprise, Jiang Tian felt overwhelmed with guilt.

Even if they were just friends, he would have cared. Hearing him say that, Chu Xuyu’s expression cooled.

“Who’s just a friend to you?”

Jiang Tian: “…” It was just a figure of speech.

But either way, at this moment, the emptiness of heading to a strange city alone had already been filled. The trip felt shorter than he’d imagined. They arrived in Beijing.

Same station as last time.

Jiang Tian had already booked a modest, affordable hotel in advance. He figured someone like Chu Xuyu wouldn’t be used to that kind of place.

Now it was too late to cancel, and he was about to call the front desk to see if they could upgrade to the best suite when—

Chu Xuyu said, “We’re not staying at the hotel tonight.”

Hearing that, Jiang Tian looked up from his screen, momentarily stunned. “Huh?”

But… if they weren’t staying at the hotel, where were they going to sleep?

Chu Xuyu didn’t answer. He simply held Jiang Tian’s hand, leading him toward the parking lot. At some point, a car key had appeared in his palm—it wasn’t the car they had in Ningcheng.

After taking the elevator down—

Jiang Tian immediately spotted a brand-new luxury car parked in the most eye-catching spot. It had a local Beijing license plate. With a beep, the lights flashed.

Wait a second.

Did Chu Xuyu… buy a new car in Beijing?

That guess flashed across Jiang Tian’s mind.

He recalled how, even during business trips, Chu Xuyu had never gone this far. He couldn’t help but start imagining other possibilities.

If Chu Xuyu had bought a car—such a luxurious one at that—did it mean he planned to stay in Beijing long-term?

Just thinking about it…

Jiang Tian’s emotions surged like a rollercoaster. He had never been the type to look forward to good things happening—his parents’ sudden passing had taught him that disappointment after hope only hurt more deeply.

They got into the car.

Before starting the engine, Chu Xuyu entered a navigation route. The destination: a top-tier luxury residence near Beijing University.

Jiang Tian hesitated. “Ge.”

“How many days will you stay here?”

Chu Xuyu could tell that his smart little boyfriend had guessed something. But to keep the surprise, he feigned nonchalance. “Not sure yet.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Tian didn’t press further. The two chatted casually about other things during the ride.

As they neared the destination, the surroundings grew more extravagant and eye-catching. The boy clutched his seatbelt, that intuitive sense bubbling up again. He clearly wasn’t as calm as he seemed.

Chu Xuyu rested a hand on the steering wheel, glanced at the rearview mirror, and casually said, “Hoping I’ll stay longer?”

Jiang Tian admitted, “Yeah.”

Chu Xuyu’s lips curled upward. “Then I’ll judge based on your performance.”

“…”

Jiang Tian took it seriously. He sat up straight, a little tense—especially since school orientation and military training started soon, which meant the only time he had to “perform well” was tonight.

His face had flushed so many times he’d lost count. He swallowed nervously and pretended to look out the window.

Due to his personality, even though he liked being intimate with Chu Xuyu, he’d never placed too much importance on physical things. He rarely even handled such matters himself, and often worried about hurting Chu Xuyu during sex.

And yet, the older man he once resisted and feared… was now becoming an addiction.

Was it really that good?

“…”

Realizing he was spiraling into inappropriate thoughts, Jiang Tian rubbed his ear and forced himself to stop.

He shifted to thinking about how he’d be stuck on campus during training—but once that ended, they could go for walks and eat out together, even if just for a few days. That kind of life… he really wanted to experience it.

Lost in thought—

Jiang Tian realized they’d already entered the residential complex. It was one of Beijing’s most expensive neighborhoods. Every detail exuded understated luxury and solemn grandeur.

As the car drove past fountains and lush landscaping, it came to a stop in front of a quiet, brand-new villa.

Unlike the cold solemnity of the complex, the villa was warmly lit, radiating a soft glow, like it was welcoming its master home.

People’s instincts are usually right. Jiang Tian had a hunch that Chu Xuyu was planning something big.

After parking—

Chu Xuyu leaned over and planted a soft kiss on the boy’s lips. Despite the long journey, his voice was still gentle: “We’re home.”

Jiang Tian’s lips parted slightly. “W-what?”

His mind went blank. He couldn’t even respond. Even his seatbelt had to be unbuckled by Chu Xuyu.

Then, Jiang Tian was led out of the car—he even forgot to take his luggage—and followed the man into the villa.

What greeted him was a surprisingly cozy interior—not the cold modern style he expected, but one tailored to a young person’s taste. In the living room, a full wall was covered in rare and collectible anime merchandise.

Jiang Tian froze in place. His heart pounded like a drum. He looked at Chu Xuyu in a daze.

Though the villa was large, it didn’t feel empty. Warm yellow light bathed the man’s handsome face, softening his features. His voice was deep: “Do you like your back-to-school gift?”

Jiang Tian’s lips trembled. “Is… is my name on the deed?”

Chu Xuyu chuckled. “Why are you so smart?”

Jiang Tian’s breath caught.

He felt like he was inside a dream, dazed and overwhelmed. “This… this isn’t just about how expensive it is.”

“Ge…”

“I really can’t accept this.”

A luxury home decorated to his tastes, near his school—more precious than the gift itself was the man who stepped closer and whispered:

“I’ll stay in Beijing for the next few years. With you.”

“Don’t you want that?”

“…!”

Jiang Tian’s eyes widened—and with that came a sudden, overwhelming kiss from Chu Xuyu.

Thump.

He was pinned against the wall without warning, arms instinctively wrapping around the man’s neck. From receiving the kiss to returning it, everything happened naturally.

Whether emotionally or physically, both of them found pure comfort in each other. Even their souls seemed perfectly aligned.

Jiang Tian, who rarely showed emotion, had learned through their relationship how to face his true feelings—after all, no one truly wants to go without love.

When they pulled apart, their lips still glistened with moisture. The boy looked utterly dazed, touched to the core by the kiss.

Then—

He lowered his forehead to Chu Xuyu’s shoulder, prompting the man to blink in slight confusion. “What are you thinking about?”

“I don’t know…”

Jiang Tian buried his face deeply. Inside, he was well aware: since they got together, Chu Xuyu had done so much more for him than he had ever done in return.

His lover was mature, reliable, a successful CEO—even his sister considered him the ideal man.

But what could he possibly offer to someone like Chu Xuyu?

Jiang Tian let his hand fall, then hooked pinkies with him. A moment later, their fingers intertwined, holding each other in quiet embrace.

Chu Xuyu gently brushed his cheek, gazed down, and asked again, “What’s my baby thinking?”

“…Mhm.”

So close, face to face, Jiang Tian met his gaze and unknowingly squeezed his hand tighter.

“I’m thinking about the days to come.”

“I hope you can rely on me too, Ge.”
