As Virgili said, when Calvin walked out of the bathroom with his wet hair rubbing his wet hair with a bath towel, he did look much better than before. At least his eyes weren't bloodshot anymore, and his face wasn't as blue as a zombie.

Of course, the most important thing is emotions.

His emotions had completely calmed down.

The normal, aloof, and slightly violent speakeasy bartender has re-entered the world — at least as it seems.

He walked slowly into the living room in the bathrobe that Virgili had given him (with the scent of fabric softener still lingering on it). The strands of hair on his forehead gathered together and a drop of water dripped down.

Vigili was sitting on the couch and making a phone call.

“…… Yes, please send a complete set of men's clothing...... Underwear also needs ...... That's right...... Dimensions I'll send you later......"

Calvin leaned back in his armchair and listened to Vickyli's soft voice.

Perhaps sensing Calvin's approach, Virgili turned his head with his phone in his hand, and Calvin waved at him.

Another drop of water fell from Calvin's hair, wetting his cheeks.

"Bang-"

Vigilli was visibly stunned for a moment, and the phone slid from his fingertips to the ground with a muffled sound.

"Calvin your eyes...... Your face ......"

He stared blankly at Calvin's face and muttered in disbelief.

Calvin stretched out his finger and pressed it against the corner of his eye, his purple pupils glowing like iolite under his pale eyelashes.

"If that's what you mean...... I've been wearing colored contact lenses. ”

Calvin said. Because of the vomiting before, there was still a little hoarseness in his voice.

As Calvin spoke, Vigilli's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You, you look, I mean you look a little different......"

Virgili whispered as he spoke, his breathing getting heavier, and he tilted his head to trace Calvin's face with his gaze.

It was a face that should not belong to this real, filthy world—a face that belonged to heaven and to the gods, like the pagan god Pan carved out of ivory and jewelry, like the angels that the saint saw in his hallucinations during his dying experience. He embodied almost all the beauty imaginable to man, and every inch of his skin seemed to shine with a hazy glow.

Calvin smiled. He didn't tell Virgili how long it took him to wash off the shadows and foundation on his face in the bathroom.

He reached out and lifted Vicili's chin.

"So you like me the way I look, don't you?"

He leaned down and whispered in Vigilli's ear.

The aroma of the shower gel seeped from Calvin's white skin with a moist scent.

......Another drop of water fell from Calvin's wet hair and onto Virgilli's face, who didn't even blink an eye—the poor young man, like a frog caught by a snake, stiff to the point of being completely unable to move.

"I, I, I...... I still have a phone...... Your clothes...... That ......"

Vigili stared blankly at Calvin, incoherently speaking words that didn't make any sense.

Then he jumped up as if he had been awakened, his face flushed.

He bent down in a panic, ready to pick up his phone, apparently intending to escape Calvin's gaze.

"I ...... I was helping you get your clothes just now, uh, I'll call someone to wash your clothes from before......" Virgili didn't dare to look up at all, and from Calvin's angle, he could clearly see that the back of the other party's neck had completely turned pink skin and fine sweat.

Calvin smiled softly, and the moment Vigili reached for his phone, he stomped on Vigilli's hand with the ball of his foot.

"Hmm-"

Virgili let out a clear swallowing sound.

He froze motionless like a stone statue.

"Plus, Calvin?"

After a long time, Vigilli's voice was hoarse and low.

"Look up. ”

Calvin said to him.

Virgili slowly raised his head, his expression very strange, mixed with intense obsession and unconcealable helplessness.

Calvin lowered his head and took Vicili's lips in his mouth.

"Bang ......"

Calvin placed his hand on Vicky's chest, and he easily pushed Vicili to the soft carpet, and then he himself fell to the ground.

A weak, squeezed whimper came out of Vigilli's throat, and he wrapped his arms around Calvin's shoulders as Calvin put his hand on Vigilli's face, and he deepened the kiss.

……

After a few minutes, Calvin let go of Vigili with some difficulty, and he sat on Vigilli's body and looked down at the other, his thumb gently sliding over his lips, which were slightly swollen from the kiss.

"Oh my God, I should be crying for your ex-girlfriends, your kissing skills are so sad. ”

He said.

But Virgili was still like that, staring at Calvin as if he were out of his body, he didn't even seem to figure out what was going on, but Calvin could feel the loud noise in his chest, and beneath that young, warm, solid chest, the heart was beating wildly.

Virgilli's breathing was as heavy as a poorly made bellows.

"I ...... I didn't get ......."

He said hoarsely to Calvin. His dazedness and that instinctive longing of his physiology mixed with his handsome and pleasing face, which looked almost distorted.

Calvin raised an eyebrow.

"I thought I had explained it clearly. He said, "I want to sleep with you." ”

"Up, up, up...... I'm still ......."

Vicilly repeated Calvin's words like a retarded mind, as if he were really fainting.

"Oh, God......" Calvin frowned slightly, he reached out and brushed back the wet hair hanging down his forehead, his pupils became brighter and deeper after leaving the cover of contact lenses, and no one could ignore his madness under the surface calmness, "Isn't that what you've been approaching me for?" ”

Calvin shrugged his shoulders at Vickyli, "So to make this easier, I need to relieve the pressure and you get your wish." So can we stop this 'no, no, no, help' game of rape now?"

He looked at Vicili's hand that was sunk deep into the carpet and said, the latter's fingers clutching the poor fabric as if they were about to break, and every joint was white.

Calvin could feel the changes in Virgil's body very clearly—almost as soon as he touched Virgilli's lips, the hardness of the young man's astonishing heat was transmitted to Calvin through trembling contact.

“…… No. ”

Virgilli's lips twitched.

Underneath Calvin's body, every muscle trembling slightly.

Calvin almost didn't hear the words that squeezed out of his lips.

"What?"

"I didn't—I mean—I didn't approach you to do this to you!"

Virgili burst out, grabbed Calvin violently, and rolled over.

He weighed heavily on Calvin's body.

The mint-colored pupils took on a wonderfully dark green color in the shadows.

"You are beautiful, Calvin, you are the closest thing to perfection of any human being I have ever known—I, I really can't resist my own physical urges, but I have never had any filthy thoughts about you, I just want to be close to you. You are pure, very pure ......"

"Shut up. Calvin interrupted Vicili with a cold mouth, "Don't put that disgusting word on me, and I don't care about your so-called 'beauty' and 'desire.'" Do you want to do it with me tonight?"

"Uh......" Virgili froze for a moment, and before he could reply, Calvin had pushed him away from him and stood up.

"Fuck it. He cursed and pulled up his bathrobe that had slipped from his waist. A strong gaze fell on his back, and when he turned around, all he saw was Vigilli, who was stumbling up from the ground.

"You make me want to beat you. ”

Calvin said that he was somewhat irritated and pulled a cigarette out of his stinking old clothes. Soon, the pungent smoke of inferior cigarettes filled the luxurious living room of Virgilli.

Virgili sat on the other side of the couch in embarrassment, his hands intentionally or unintentionally covering some abrupt bulges in his lower body, and it was evident that he was still not calm, at least physically.

"That's not right......" Suddenly, Vigili whispered with his eyes down. "You're just so sad. ”

“……”

Calvin spat out an eyelid, and without a sound, he reached out and gestured his middle finger in the direction of Virgilly.

"Your eyes...... You looked like you were about to cry, and I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it. ”

Vigili continued, his voice slightly quieter.

Calvin jerked backwards, and he let out a painful □□ deliberately.

"I just don't want to be your humanoid airplane cup," Vigili bit his lip, and he didn't look at Calvin, "not to mention that you don't even have any 'feelings'." ”

“……”

"You were pressing on me at the time, and I could feel your ...... That one...... Anyway, I was almost ......," the flush on Vigilli's face deepened, "but you're still like that! no one can continue in this situation, okay-"

"A lot of people can. Calvin's tone was very irritable. "Oh my God, are you the one who came out of a Disney movie? I'd rather you find some other excuse, if you keep it that way and continue with the rest of the people, I'm sure you'll spend the rest of your life in Athos. You'd better not tell me you're doing the same to your predecessors......"

Virgili fell silent suddenly.

Calvin suddenly turned his head and looked at Virgil deeply.

"Hey, wait, aren't you supposed to be ......"

"I don't have any exes. ”

Virgili said dryly to Calvin, his eyes under his eyes retained by the flush caused by the excitement he had just had.

"Well, maybe I should indeed go to Athos. ”

He said.

"Oh. ”

Calvin was stunned, and he paused before continuing: "Should I say, 'I'm sorry,' at this point?"

Vigilli looked away from Calvin's face, "We can change the subject. ”

"Okay......" Calvin spread his hand toward Virgili after a few seconds, "Well, on the plus side, at least now I don't really want to chop you into pieces, break you into flesh with a wall breaker, and then pour it down the drain with high-concentration bleach." ”

Virgie gently bumped Calvin's arm with his elbow, signaling his low-concentration protest.

His ears were still that bright red.

"You look ......"

"What?"

"You look so much better now than you did before. ”

Calvin's movements paused, and he looked at Vicili with some surprise.

The boy who always seemed sluggish and out of shape jumped up with a red face at this time.

"I, I'm going to make a phone call—the previous call was unexpectedly interrupted—"

He grabbed his phone and fled Calvin's sight in a frenzy.

Calvin looked at his departing back and let out a long, long sigh. 166 Reading Network
