It was cold, and the snow had not melted. Sean could see the snow swirling in the wind through the large French windows. He warmed his stomach and hands with a heating pad, snuggling in the eyrie chair to send messages.

"Your medicine is still in my car. I'll bring it to you after work, alright?"

Sean smiled and replied: "No, I'll go to the hospital tomarrow and take it back by the way."

It didn't take long to get an answer: "Yesterday I made a lot of calls to you but no one answered. Is it convenient to answer the phone now?"

Sean smiled wryly, thinking about it and deeming it a bad idea: "Tomorrow I'll go there. Let's talk then."

Gene did not reply again. Sean watched the news for a while, and he felt debilitated shortly afterwards, so he put down the phone to take a nap.

Later he was awakened by William, who pinched his nose teasingly. Sean couldn't see his face clearly when he was still in a clouding of consciousness. Sean felt uncomfortable, assuming an appearance of wilfulness like a spoiled child, which William had not seen for three or four years.

It soften William's heart seddenly. He rubbed Sean's soft hair. He would get satiated with him, but he never intended to jilt him.

Sean smiled with a very cute dimple on his left face, calling him in a light and soft tone: "Jiang......"

After so many years, William had already had an authentic Beijing accent, and the erstwhile accent had already been foreign to him. Only Sean's accent was as stubborn as himself, which was impervious even after more than ten years and was as gentle and soft as the Jiangnan Watertown.

William's mind went blank for a while, and after he came around, Sean had fallen asleep again. He could only tucked him in with an air conditioning blanket gently. When back to the study, he got upset inexplicably to see his mobile phone vibrating on the desk over and over again, and the calls were all from Elton Shen.

William had been making merry outside for a long time. At the very beginning it was just flirtation as he was an unmarried handsome rich man, who was never short of pursuers even if he didn'take the initiative. But later he found the advantages of the toy boys, which Sean never had. Sean was good, but he was too conservative in bed. He couldn't slake William's nasty desire to treat his sexual partner violently. William couldn't have the heart to treat Sean like this, but the other men were always willing to suffer it.

Cheating could become a habit. At the first several times you might get nervous and after coming home you just wanted to treat your lover like a queen to hide your guilt and panic. But over time the psychological burden would taper off until it vanished completely. William had tried to find excuses at first, he had also thought that one day Sean would find it and they might have a brawl, and then he would mend his ways out of repentance and Sean's tight control on him. However, later William just found that Sean was totally indifferent to his behaviour outside. He felt uncomfortable, but he just became more unscrupulous.

But at this time William suddenly felt the tension like before with a strong intuition that there was something resolute and uncompromising in Sean's attitude. Paradoxically, Sean looked so feeble as if he would imperceptibly disappear immediately.

Sean did not like strangers coming to his home, so he did all the housework all by himself. This morning he was under the weather, so he hadn't washed the bed sheet thrown in the laundry basket last night yet. William seemed to see it was stained with blood sporadically, which made him flustered in spite of himself.

William knew Sean was afraid of pain because of his special physical constitution. He was not fragile but just scarred easily and his skin was sensitive to bumps . William remembered clearly at their first sex, Sean quivered all the time under his body out of pain, but he was so lovely that he didn't resist all. It seemed that a crystalline spring was tucked away in his black and bright eyes, which rippled and sparkled. Sean just gasped softly and whimpered:"Jiang, you must be nice to me in the future......"

William's heart ached severely without any precaution.
