Wang Che followed Shun calmly with a lingering smile on his face. He looked around as he walked with a lot of interest. He had been in Azure Woods one or two times, but he was just a casual guest at the time.

He never got a chance to really look at the home. Now, his eyes lingered on everything as he walked. The more he saw, the more envious he felt. Somehow, he could see the combined energy of Zhong Feng and Hu Lei in the house.

There was something contrary about the design, but the elements blended together to form a beautiful ambience.

And most importantly, the entire design had a certain form of chaos to it. It was not like the Wang family house where each item was chosen and placed with care to maintain a timeless perfection. Rather, it was fluent randomness.

He wanted that with Shun. He wanted to share a life in a way that was effortless and natural.

But he did not know if he could do it. As long as he was in Supreme City, he would always need to be on his guard. And when he was on his guard, he could never enjoy an emotional openness with Shun. Their relationship would suffer.

Shun led him to the room he had been staying in. The space was simple, but Shun seemed to have become comfortable in it. Even the air had his scent. Shun perched on the divan at the end of the bed and looked at Wang Che with those happy and clear eyes.

He was a truly beautiful sight. When he had that sweet and guileless smile, he made Wang Che feel like he could do anything. Wang Che walked to him and stood before him. He looked down on the confused face before holding the cheeks in his hands.

"Shun, let us go back to Mountain Ridge." He said.

"What?" Shun asked instinctually.

"I am saying that we should move permanently to Mountain Ridge." Wang Che repeated.

"Do not mind what I said earlier." Shun pushed Wang Che a little and stood up, looking at him with an earnest expression. "I was planning to go back because I thought that you did not care enough. I did not think I could live in Supreme City with the way things were between us."

"I thought that you would not come for me, so when my brother asked me to go back, I thought it was a good idea. But it is fine now. We can just live here like usual. Anyway, it does not matter where we live as long as we are together, right?"

Wang Che turned away and took a breath before turning back to Shun.

"I think it matters. I wish it did not, but it does." Wang Che continued. "Apart from meeting you, I have only a few truly good memories in Supreme City. And every time I turn around, I am in a place that reminds me of countless horrible things."

"It is not just the kidnapping. It is about the abandonment I felt as a child that forced me to stay away from home. It was the constant arguments with my family, and the countless times they have tried to use me, disregarding the past. Not to mention the latest saga."

"I might have agreed to move to Mountain Ridge in the heat of the moment, but I meant it. And the more I think about it, the more I believe it is the best decision for us. I do not want to be the person I was in the past." Wang Che finished.

Shun thought about it and realised something. Wang Che was different in Mountain Ridge. Otherwise, he would not have developed deep feelings for him. The Wang Che in Mountain Ridge was a little less inhibited. historical

He did not always wear a mask of a superficial smile. He had shown him a side of him that never appeared in Supreme City. And the guy he had fallen in love with in Mountain Ridge disappeared when they returned to Supreme City.

After knowing a bit about Wang Che's past, he understood what he meant. The two of them were happy and free in Mountain Ridge, even in their semi-platonic relationship. Things might get complicated in Supreme City with Wang Che feeling that sword of his family over his head.

Shun suddenly hugged Wang Che.

"Che, thank you." He said.

"For what?" Wang Che was confused by the sudden gesture and words.

"For choosing me," Shun said.

Wang Che was even more confused. Shun released him and looked at his face with a silly smile and curved eyes.

"You are worried that you will be a bad guy and treat me badly if we stay in Supreme City. So, you are choosing to move to Mountain Ridge. So, you are choosing me." Shun said.

Wang Che was surprised again by Shun. He was like a cute treasure box that kept giving. He could not believe how lucky he was to have him. There was no way he was ever going to let him go, especially not after the hellish past couple of weeks.

"Is that a yes?" Wang Che asked.

"Are you sure?" Shun asked. "For the record, I know that you will not treat me badly or abandon me. So, I am confident enough to stay in Supreme City. And if you do not treat me well, I will have you know I am now a dangerous killing machine."

Wang Che tapped the bunny's proud nose. "I am sure. I think Mountain Ridge will be wonderful. You will be close to your family, and we have friends there. We just need to tie up the loose ends here. Then, we can leave."

Shun laughed. "Are we really going to do this?" Shun asked. "I cannot believe that I am going back to my family after all these years. I mean, my entire teenage life and early adulthood involved me plotting how to run away from them."

"We can always choose another city. It is not that hard. We just pick a map and you point to a place." Wang Che said with a laugh as he pulled Shun into his arms. "I hear Juneau is nice this time of the year."

"Juneau?" Shun tilted his head thoughtfully.

"The capital city of Alaska." Wang Che laughed. "Seriously, if you do not want to go back to Mountain Ridge, we can live in any other city, town or village."

Shun raised his arms and put them over Wang Che's shoulders and around his neck. "No, I want to go back. We have Clarion Extreme, and we can build a playground near. I am thinking something samurai-themed, with ninjas and pirates."

"That sounds like the plot of a bad anime." Wang Che said with a laugh before lightly pecking Shun's lips. "So, I am in."

Shun leaned in closer to kiss Wang Che with a happy smile on his face. He could not believe that the evening that began with him feeling dejected and hopeless had come to an end like this. He was just filled with so much joy.

Wang Che knew that Shun was an affectionate person, and he communicated his feelings through touch. But he never knew that he would be so open and giving. He felt like a fool for wasting all the years they could have been together.

Wang Che tightened his arms around his waist when he thought of the lost moments they could have. He intended to enjoy the future fully in all ways. Shun hummed against his mouth with pleasure at the tightened hold.

The two continued kissing before Wang Che walked Shun back to the bed. Within moments, Shun's back was on the comfortable mattress. Wang Che laid over him and continued kissing him. The two carried on heatedly.

However, Shun protested when Wang Che's hands touched the smooth skin along his waist and abdomen. He looked at Wang Che with glazed eyes and reddened lips. The sight almost drove Wang Che to act like a beast.

"Ah, we shouldn't be doing this." He said with shallow pants.

Wang Che looked at Shun's face for signs of discomfort or hints of fear. However, all he saw was desire mingled with reluctant hesitation. He relaxed. He was worried about the physical aspects of their relationship.

He knew Shun was inexperienced, so he might have some hesitation about taking their relationship to the next level. However, he could not see any rejection from Shun.

Wang Che smiled and leaned in to kiss Shun again. "We are not doing anything."

Shun could not resist the almost drug-like kisses. He almost forgot about his protests. However, he recovered when he felt the cold air as his sweater and shirt were pulled up. He moaned as Wang Che's magical fingers ran over his skin.

"We have to stop. If we do something, someone will know." He said.

Wang Che chuckled and kissed along Shun's neck, his tongue caressing the intoxicatingly soft skin. "We are together, and we are sleeping in the same room tonight. People are going to think something happened whether we do something or not. We should not disappoint."

Shun realised this problem and tried to sit up. He had not thought of this problem. However, Wang Che caught his wrist tightly like manacles and stopped his movement. Shun felt pleasure at the strength that Wang Che wielded.

If he were honest, he liked the thought of complete dominance. Perhaps, he was a little twisted. He enjoyed the strangest things. Like the thought of that night under the tree, of Wang Che holding him by the neck tightly, the subtle threat and the complete control..

It was intoxicating.

His lips stretched into a sly smile. He would find a way to convince Wang Che to play a little more in the near future.. For now, he just needed to enjoy the ride.
