TL: Moonlit
Faced with Lin Su’s question, Xie Bai wanted to respond with a remark like ‘The most detestable female in the capital,’ but after being by Lin Su’s side for so long, Xie Bai was no longer the impulsive, thoughtless little female he once was.
Despite deeply disliking Yan Qi in his heart, Xie Bai still had to maintain a gracious demeanor: “He is Yan Qi, the second son of the Yan family in the capital. The Yan family is involved in the hovercar business.”
Just now, Yan Qi had only seen Xie Bai, but now he heard him introducing himself to someone behind him and turned his head to look.
When their gazes met for an instant, Yan Qiu felt a sense of familiarity with this unfamiliar female, as if they had met somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall it.
However, this female was probably inconsequential since he was with Xie Bai.
“Why, Xie Bai, do you have friends now? Have you let your friend smell your stinky contract plant?” Yan Qi, well aware of Xie Bai’s sore spot, struck directly at it with his taunting voice. He truly was annoying. Lin Su looked at this young female with a cold gaze, similar in age to Xie Bai. His eyebrows lightly furrowed, “Is there something wrong with Xie Bai’s contract plant?”
Believing that Lin Su had suddenly asked because he didn’t know, Yan Qi became spirited and thought that he could strike a blow against Xie Bai: “It seems you really don’t know. Xie Bai, this isn’t right. Let me do you a favor and tell you. Xie Bai’s contract plant is a very, very stinky flower. Once it’s released, no one can withstand it. Isn’t that right, Xie Bai?”
Xie Bai’s face turned red, pointing at Yan Qi, “You’re talking nonsense! It’s not like what you said, you…”
Lin Su pulled Xie Bai behind him and said, “No need to explain to him. We all know what you’re like. Are you Yan Qi?”
Xie Bai pouted, eyes reddening with grievances, but Lin Su standing up for him made him feel touched.
In the past, when he was in the capital, no matter how favored he was at home, he always had to bear the bullying alone when he was outside.
“Yes, I am Yan Qi. Why, do you want to defend him?” Yan Qi sneered, not paying any attention to Lin Su. He was well acquainted with the female from prominent families in the capital. This unfamiliar female was probably from a remote star system, nothing to fear.
“Tomorrow, I’ll have your family’s elders…”
“Yan Qi, why are you still standing here instead of going in?” Yan Shan finally found a parking spot and came over, seeing Yan Qi standing at the entrance of the lobby, he couldn’t help but pause. When he regained his senses, he recognized Xie Bai, “Isn’t this Xiao Bai? You’ve returned from the North Star?”
Seeing Yan Shan, Xie Bai obediently nodded and called out, “Yan Shan Ge.”
Noticing Xie Bai’s reddened eyes, Yan Shan realized something and looked at Yan Qi, “You’ve been bullying Xiao Bai again, haven’t you?”
Yan Qi shrugged indifferently, “How did I bully him? I was just telling the truth. After all, his contract plant is so stinky!”
“Yan Qi, you…”
“Are you his older brother?” Lin Su spoke up, his tone calm but emanating evident indifference.
Only now did Yan Shan shift his attention to Lin Su and their eyes met. Yan Shan’s heart shook, “You, are you Her Royal Highness the Princess Consort?”
“How is that possible? Big brother, are you mistaken? How could he be…”
“Shut up! You’re not allowed to disrespect Her Royal Highness the Princess Consort.” Yan Shan hastily interrupted Yan Qi, afraid that this idiot would offend someone as soon as he opened his mouth.
Upon realizing that Yan Shan had recognized him, Lin Su looked at Yan Qi, whose face was gradually turning pale. “It seems like your brother hasn’t been properly educated. He deliberately and maliciously injured someone without reason. I’m not sure if he’ll be punished according to the laws of the empire.”
Upon hearing Lin Su’s words, cold sweat broke out on Yan Shan’s forehead. In such a short time, Yan Qi had caused trouble for him. “Your Highness, Yan Qi is still young, he doesn’t know any better.”
“Is Xie Bai older than him?” Lin Su’s tone was calm but carried an indescribable dignity. With just a few simple words, it struck a painful chord in Yan Shan’s heart.
“Allow me to apologize on his behalf to Xie Bai. I’m sorry, Xie Bai. Yan Qi doesn’t know any better. Please don’t hold it against him, okay?” Before Xie Bai could speak, Yan Shan tried to smooth things over, hoping to let it go. How could that be possible? Lin Su lightly curved their lips, “Tomorrow, have your elders come to the Prince’s Residence and personally apologize to Xie Bai. Remember, it must be your family’s elders.”
The moral corruption of their own child was most likely the problem of the adults in their family.
At the same time, Yan Shan’s face turned pale. If it were to happen like this, wouldn’t the Yan family become a laughingstock on the capital star?
“Your Highness, isn’t this too severe?”
“Now you realize the severity of the problem? As his older brother, you should have known about his behavior long ago, or else you wouldn’t have used the word ‘again’ just now,” Lin Su sneered. “He took advantage of having a sharp tongue to bully Xie Bai, so today I’ll take advantage of my status to bully you. Do you have any objections? If you do, feel free to report me to the Emperor. Let’s see if he’ll support me or your Yan family. I want to see your family’s elders at the Prince’s Residence tomorrow morning. Otherwise…”
Lin Su coolly looked at Yan Shan, not revealing the rest of their words.
But it was already chilly, the wind had picked up, and they didn’t mind stretching their muscles.
Leaving the sales hall with Xie Bai, they arrived at the parking lot. Lin Su turned his head and met a pair of tearful red rabbit-like eyes. “Didn’t you help me find a location? Why are you still crying?”
Once Lin Su spoke, Xie Bai burst into tears and reached out to cling to Lin Su. “Lin Su, from now on, you’re my real brother. I’ll definitely take good care of you.”
Lin Su could only smile wryly as they patted his shoulder. “No, no. I’m still young now. You’ll have to wait a while longer to take care of me. Okay, okay, stop crying. Don’t wipe your snot on me!”
Xie Bai released his grip and sheepishly rubbed his nose. “I’m not sniffling, see, my hands are clean.”
“Okay, okay, put your hands down. They’re dirty. Is there anything else you need to do before getting in the car?”
“No, I don’t have anything else. Tomorrow, Su Ge and I are planning to go to the Star Sea1In the previous chapter, I put Sea Star. But in this chapter, I found out that it’s actually the Star Sea…as for the explanation why, you’ll find out as you read further. for some fun. Would you and Prince William want to come along?”
Looking at Lin Su with anticipation, for Xie Bai, Lin Su was his superhero now. If his admiration for Lin Su used to be as deep as a river, now it was an immeasurable ocean.
“Tomorrow?” Lin Su raised an eyebrow. “Tomorrow might not work. Don’t you remember that you’re coming to my house to receive an apology from the elders of the Yan family? You and Su Ge can come over early in the morning. After it’s done, we can have a barbecue in the yard. As for the Star Sea, how about the day after tomorrow?”
“Sounds good!” As long as Lin Su was willing, it didn’t matter if they postponed it a bit. “But Lin Su, are you really making the elders of the Yan family apologize to me?”
“If I don’t do that, how will they learn their lesson?” Lin Su reached out and patted Xie Bai’s shoulder. “In situations like this, don’t feel like you’re alone without any support. Su Ge and I are your support. Just hit back directly if someone bullies you. If you can’t handle it, let us know, and we’ll help you. As long as it’s not your fault, we’ll stand by your side unconditionally. Xie Bai, you’re not alone.”
He knew that Xie Bai, perhaps due to his parents not being around, lacked a sense of security and didn’t display as much confidence. His initial recklessness and wilfulness were probably more of a cry for attention from others.
As Xie Bai’s emotions had just settled, Lin Su’s words caused another surge of sourness, and his eyes turned red once again. Before he could start crying, Lin Su said, “Stop crying. If you want to cry, go cry to Su Ge. Get in the car, let’s go home.”
Xie Bai nodded hard and ran to the driver’s seat with two golden specks on his cheeks.
When Lin Su got off the car, he reminded Xie Bai not to overthink things when he got back. After receiving Xie Bai’s obedient assurance, he got off the car.
William heard the sound of the door opening and came out of the room to welcome Lin Su back.
“Did you have fun?” William examined Lin Su carefully. “Did someone bully you?”
Lin Su squinted his eyes. “How did you know?”
William didn’t hide it either. If Lin Su went out alone, even if he didn’t personally follow, he couldn’t just let him be. “Bruno told me.”
With William saying that, he indirectly admitted that he had someone follow him.
Lin Su didn’t think there was anything wrong with that and smiled as he approached William. “So, you don’t blame me for doing that?”
The reason he dared to do so was entirely because of William’s identity.
“You did the right thing. What do I have to blame you for? That Yan family brat’s behavior is indeed annoying.” William held Lin Su’s hand and pulled him closer to the house. “Didn’t you say you wanted some ice cubes? I had someone prepare them for you.”
“Really?” Lin Su had been thinking that he would surprise William with what he had prepared.
It was something he had thought of since coming to the capital. The temperature here was much higher than in North Star. It was fine at home, but whenever he went out and came back, he felt too hot. So he prepared some ice, fresh fruits, and milk to make refreshing ice popsicles. He couldn’t wait to get started.
With that in mind, Lin Su couldn’t wait to take action. “Where is it? I want to take a look.”
Seeing the eager look on the little female’s face, William gently took hold of Lin Su’s hand and brought it to his chest. “You just came back. Don’t you want to rest a bit?”
“I’m not tired.” Lin Su blinked his eyes. He was full of energy now, and he could even go for a run without any problems.
William looked at him with golden eyes, and his fox tail lightly wrapped around Lin Su’s waist from behind. “I feel like taking a hot spring bath.”
Although Lin Su didn’t understand what William meant at first, he finally understood. It seemed like his big fox was, um… inviting him?
Lin Su reached out and pinched the dog ears on William’s head. “William, why are you so proactive today?”
William slightly increased the distance between them, and a mischievous light flashed in his golden beast eyes. He held Lin Su’s hand and pressed it against his chest, which was pounding with excitement. “Susu, my rut is approaching.”
Lin Su’s heart jumped at the mention of rut. The last time he found out about his own heat from William, he remembered how he spent it—getting his neck bitten by William.
Gripping the front of William’s shirt tightly, Lin Su’s ears inexplicably turned red. “I’ll bite gently.”
Before Lin Su finished speaking, William pressed him into his arms. Then he heard William’s low laughter in his ear, accompanied by the vibrations of his chest. “What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?”
When the little female in his arms became bold and straightforward, he couldn’t resist at all.
The occasional display of innocence and cuteness made him like Lin Su even more.
William found it incredible. How could there be someone who made him like this?
He stroked Lin Su’s head. “You’re right, but you have to be clear. Where will you bite?”
Suddenly realizing how ambiguous his words were, Lin Su’s ears turned bright red. However, he didn’t want to appear too shy, so he pretended to be natural and said, “You want me to…”
Before he could finish his sentence, William sealed his words with a gentle bite on his lower lip. “Don’t tease me. I won’t be able to handle it.”
Looking into the depths of the fox’s eyes, filled with surging desire, Lin Su not only wasn’t afraid, but he was also eager to try: “You don’t have to hold back. I won’t resist anything you do.”
William restrained the lump in his throat and lowered his head to gently touch Lin Su’s forehead. Their eyes met, filled with affection: “You won’t regret it?”
Lin Su felt that this fox, who couldn’t restrain his charm, was absolutely irresistible. “I like you, I want you. How could I regret it?”
The tail wrapped around Lin Su’s waist loosened, and before Lin Su could understand what William was doing, he was lifted up into the air. Instinctively, Lin Su hooked his arms around William’s neck. This sudden display of boyfriend power made Lin Su’s heart tremble.
When they returned to the bedroom, Lin Su wanted to take a bath. However, William followed him closely, showing his clinginess in his rut.
By the time they came out of the bathroom, Lin Su was completely soft. He didn’t expect that a fox who was usually so restrained and patient could be so overwhelming when he let loose his desires.
Originally, Lin Su wanted to put into practice the techniques he had secretly learned when he was alone, but unfortunately, they were completely useless.
The subsequent developments were within his expectations yet exceeded his imagination.
When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.
William was nowhere to be seen, but there was a small intelligent robot by the bedside. Sensing his awakening, it spoke up: “Your Highness, the Prince is currently receiving guests.”
Guests?
Suddenly, he remembered that he had an appointment with the Yan family and Xie Bai this morning. However, he had ended up sleeping until now.
With a slight movement, his lower back felt sore.
As for what happened last night, just thinking about it made his face flush and his heart race.
“How long have they been here?” Lin Su sat up and reached for the clothes beside him to change.
“They have already left. The Prince is on his way back to the bedroom.”
“It’s over?” Lin Su paused in his actions of getting dressed. In the next moment, he heard the sound of the door opening. The fox that had been missing the whole morning entered, emitting a cold aura. But when he looked at Lin Su, there was a gentle glow in his eyes. “Awake?”
Lin Su nodded. “Did Xie Bai and the others leave?”
“Yes, they left. I rescheduled our trip to the Star Sea for tomorrow. I made an appointment with Xie Bai for next week. Is that okay?”
William walked over and knelt on one knee on the bed, leaning in to place a kiss near Lin Su’s lips.
Due to the lack of rest, Lin Su’s eyes were slightly red. He nodded and asked, “Did the Yan family really come to apologize?”
“They didn’t dare not to come.” William didn’t pay much attention to this matter. During his rut, he would become particularly attached to his partner, to the point of wanting to hide Lin Su away where no one could see him.
Feeling the tail curling around him, Lin Su reached out and gave it a tug before lying back on the bed. “That’s good. I want to sleep a bit longer.”
William lay down beside him and instinctively reached out to embrace Lin Su. “Alright, go ahead and sleep.”
Lin Su found a comfortable position in his arms and closed his eyes, but after a moment, he raised his gaze to meet William’s eyes filled with desire. “How am I supposed to… mmm…”
When William’s week-long rut finally passed, Lin Su finally saw the sunlight.
Being hidden in the room by William for a whole week, Lin Su could initially resist, but towards the end, he simply went along with it. He wondered if all males in rut were so alluring, or if it was just his big fox’s innate talent.
He deeply doubted how he had managed to awaken William’s “top” side in the first place.
Rubbing his soft waist, Lin Su pushed away William’s attempting hand. “For now, don’t touch me.”
He really didn’t want things to escalate any further. He did like William, and he enjoyed their intimacy, but there had been too much, and he was afraid his mortal body couldn’t handle it.
William smiled in place. “I won’t touch you, just give you a little massage.”
“You used to say the same thing.” Lin Su felt that after they became more open with each other, William seemed to have flipped a switch and completely let go. The previously charming and restrained William now knew how to use his half-beast form to tease him.
It was really maddening.
When the fox tail brushed against him, Lin Su would agree to anything. He had absolutely no self-control.
Finally, after resting for two days and fully recovering, Lin Su made plans to go on a vacation to the Star Sea with Xie Bai.
When Xie Bai saw Lin Su again after such a long time, he abandoned Su Ge and ran over to Lin Su. However, just as he was about to embrace Lin Su, he suddenly stopped and sniffed the air. His gaze met William’s golden eyes, and Xie Bai smiled politely. “Lin Su, are you feeling better now from illness?”
“Illness?”
Lin Su glanced sideways at the big fox standing next to him, who appeared completely unaffected. He couldn’t help but find this fox’s cunning amusing. The fox had been clinging to him in various ways inside the room, but to others, he claimed that Lin Su was recuperating from an illness.
“I’m fine now, don’t worry.”
“That’s good.” Xie Bai smiled and pulled Lin Su to the side. “Let’s go and take a look over there. The newly developed coastal area has a beautiful beach.”
“Okay, let’s bring some things with us.”
William took the initiative to speak, “You two go ahead, Su Ge and I will bring the things.”
“Alright.” Lin Su agreed and walked forward, holding Xie Bai’s hand.
After walking for a while, Xie Bai mysteriously leaned over and sniffed the scent on Lin Su’s body. “Lin Su, you’re together with the prince, aren’t you? Your whole body is filled with his scent. Don’t you cover it up?”
“Cover?” Lin Su blinked, realizing that this might be a blind spot in his knowledge. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know, Lin Su? When you bond with a partner, you will have each other’s scent on your body. This scent cannot be washed away with bathing, so usually, you have to spray some cover-up, like this new milk-scented one I have. Su Ge quite likes it.”
As Xie Bai said this, his cheeks turned slightly red.
Lin Su understood and nodded. “Is it necessary to cover it up?”
“If you don’t cover it, won’t everyone know what you and the prince have been doing? Although the scent will fade over time, do you think the prince will give you time for it to fade?”
“I see, thank you for telling me this.”
“In that case, Lin Su, do you want to spray some? I have an unused orange-scented one.”
“No need.” When Xie Bai’s offer was declined, he was somewhat surprised. “Don’t you mind?”
“I’ll buy a new one later. It’s fine for now.” Lin Su didn’t mind. Just as William had possessiveness over him, he had the same towards William. The thought of William carrying his scent made him feel strangely satisfied. He thought perhaps William felt the same way, which was why he hadn’t specifically reminded him.
Xie Bai thought about it and realized that cover-up sprays were indeed quite private, and even the best of friends rarely exchanged them. It was normal for Lin Su to want to buy a new one. “Then remember to buy it.”
It never occurred to him that Lin Su had no intention of covering it up. But there was no need to explain this independent behavior to Xie Bai. “Alright.”
The reason why the sea area in the capital star was called the “Star Sea” was because of the geographical environment. As the azure sea extended further inland, the color of the sea became darker. Even in broad daylight, it sparkled as if it were the light of stars.
Hence the name Star Sea.
They walked on the golden beach, feeling the soft, warm sand beneath their feet. Since it had just opened, there weren’t many people here yet. They intentionally avoided the crowds and found a quiet and beautiful spot to place their food.
Xie Bai couldn’t wait and pulled Lin Su to swim in the sea. He had been wanting to come here for a long time. Now that Lin Su was here, Xie Bai was like a little bird that had finally left its nest, happily soaring.
Lin Su rarely had the opportunity to relax like this. Without restraining himself, he followed Xie Bai and the two of them ran towards the ocean together.
Under the setting sun, the four of them joyfully ran and played on the beach, feeling a sense of tranquility and contentment.
After a day of playing, both Lin Su and Xie Bai were exhausted on the way back. However, compared to Xie Bai, who was already lying on Su Ge’s back, Lin Su was in much better condition.
On the way back, Su Ge and Xie Bai took a different route and left early. But before leaving, Su Ge specifically thanked Lin Su. If it weren’t for him, he would have never known about the grievances Xie Bai had endured.
Watching them leave, Lin Su leaned against William’s body. “Today, Xie Bai told me that I have your scent on me.”
Upon hearing this suddenly, William’s body tensed. “Do you dislike it?”
Realizing that Lin Su didn’t know about the cover-up sprays, he had deliberately kept it from him. Even though his mating period had already ended, his possessiveness towards Lin Su hadn’t diminished at all. He wanted everyone to know that the little female belonged to him. And they were already together.
Now that Lin Su suddenly asked, William couldn’t help but worry if the little female would dislike his possessiveness.
Wouldn’t Lin Su think he’s too overbearing?
Feeling the unease of the big fox beside him, Lin Su hooked his finger in William’s palm and smiled, saying, “You also have my scent on you. Do you dislike it?”
In William’s beautiful golden beast eyes, a gleam of light appeared. “I don’t dislike it.”
Lin Su curled up the corners of his lips, revealing a charming dimple on his cheek, as their eyes met. “Me neither.”
