Chapter 69

Xiang Han finally relaxed before turning back to Shen Ze, "Can... Can you speak normally?"

He's not normal? Shen Ze nearly choked before he abruptly whipped out his phone with a dark expression and deleted the dating guide. Then, he pointed to his thighs and said, "Lie down, I'll give you a massage."

Letting out a breath of relief, Xiang Han secretly thought, he's finally back to normal.

Perhaps, his threat of 'moving out' was too lethal, but after they established their relationship, Shen Ze didn't do anything else apart from the occasional kisses and hugs. Even the red ropes had disappeared to god knew where.

Apart from being a little more intimate, the relationship between them didn't change much.

Xiang Han was extremely heartened, thinking that his teaching had borne fruit.

One semester was over in the blink of an eye and after returning home for winter break, Xiang Han was helping Shen Ze hang up his clothes when he noticed a luggage beneath the cupboard. Thinking that it was full of clothes, he wanted to hang them up too. However, the moment he unzipped it, he was instantly dumbfounded.

T-T-This... handcuffs? Bell-collar? Ropes?

"Shen Ze!"

Xiang Han straightened his back, hollering at the living room.

At this time, Shen Ze was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through the internet when he heard it. Putting down his laptop, he found Xiang Han and asked, "What is it?"

When he finally saw the items, a dark light flashed through his eyes. Then, he looked up and stared at Xiang Han with burning eyes.

Xiang Han quickly tightened his grip on his collar and pointed at those things, "Why... are they still here?" There were a few whose packaging hadn't even been opened.

Shen Ze coughed lightly, "You also know, I still have a psychological shadow from that time."

"T-Then, go look for a doctor." Xiang Han reluctantly rejected him, "In any case, you must throw these things away."

Shen Ze's brows furrowed, "But this is a result of my trauma and you are the cause. Wanting me to see a doctor, isn't it redundant to seek treatment from faraway when the cure is near?"

Xiang Han, "Uh...."

Shen Ze came closer and hugged his waist, "Little Han, let's try a few more times. Perhaps, it'll gradually...get better."

Saying so, he gently sucked Xiang Han's earlobes.

"No way." Xiang Han pushed him away, holding on to his collar tightly.

Shen Ze massaged his temple helplessly, "Little Han, you said to take things step by step, but we've already taken half a year just for one step."

"S-So?" Xiang Han suddenly regretted shouting earlier.

Shen Ze took another step closer and hugged his waist, "Because of you, I couldn't get it up. Shouldn't you take responsibility? In this kind of situation, the earlier we start treatment, the better it will be. What should I do if it becomes worse?"

"Really...Really because of what I said?" Xiang Han asked guiltily.

"En." Shen Ze nodded earnestly and even led him down by hand, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can try."

Xiang Han naturally moved back and then coincidentally, just before he could touch it, his hands pulled back.

Shen Ze saw his doubtful expression and continued his efforts, "If you can't accept it now, let's take it slow. For example... wearing the cat ears and only using hands..."
