13. On the Importance of Having a Harmonious Sex Life
Qin Ye didn’t think that Xie He would wake up all of a sudden. Furthermore, Han Wenqian’s counterattack was very quick. He slashed Qin Ye’s arm in a second!
It was at this moment that the closet door was knocked open. Xie He rolled out and fell to the ground, disoriented. He didn’t seem to quite understand what was happening…. Qin Ye’s expression grew cold and he suddenly dove towards Xie He! His knife was still in Han Wenqian’s hands, but it didn’t matter. As long as he had Xie He, he was certain that Han Wenqian would give in.
Meanwhile, Han Wenqian realized what Qin Ye was planning at the same time. That instant, it became a battle of who would be quickest! Han Wenqian threw the knife and pounced over to Qin Ye with all his might, disregarding his abdominal injuries!
Qin Ye ended up knicked in the back by the knife. He stumbled and was then pressed onto the floor by Han Wenqian! The knife was then pressed against his throat!
All of this happened in the span of a few seconds.
Qin Ye was subdued by Han Wenqian. His face was pale. He had been too slow….
Xie He seemed to have finally come back to himself. He was frightened by the fierce battle before him. He cried out as if his life depended on it, his expression one of utter fear. However, his wrists and ankles were tied and there was still a handkerchief stuffed into his mouth. He couldn’t even escape. Panic filled his black eyes.
Han Wenqian’s knife was tight against Qin Ye’s neck, a bloodthirsty gaze in his eyes…. But his concern for Xie He won over. When he heard movement, he instinctively turned to look. At that moment, he met with a pair of eyes that showed extreme fear. Han Wenqian suddenly calmed down and the bloodthirst gradually dissipated from his eyes.
Xie He was already so scared. If he were to kill Qin Ye here, wouldn’t he be even more terrified? Qin Ye’s life was nowhere near as important as Xie He was to Han Wenqian. Thus, Han Wenqian shouted and the people outside charged in to tie Qin Ye up. Han Wenqian didn’t take another glance at Qin Ye. He turned towards Xie He.
But the moment Han Wenqian stood up, he faltered. Because he had exerted himself too much, he was bleeding heavily from his abdominal wounds…. He was already spent but he seemed not to realize it. He still walked over to Xie He’s side….
When Han Wenqian finally reached Xie He, he flashed a smile and said with a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid.” He then used the knife to free Xie He of his binds. He then pulled the handkerchief out of Xie He’s mouth. He reached out, wanting to hold Xie He, but as soon as Xie He regained freedom, he curled up, shivering, as he scurried backwards. Han Wenqian, covered in blood, looked like a demon emerging from hell. He said in a shaky voice, “Don’t come over. I wasn’t working with him…I didn’t help him….”
Han Wenqian’s hand paused in midair, and a cold, dull ache throbbed in his heart. Compared to the pain in his chest, his abdominal wounds felt numb to the point that he couldn’t feel them at all.
He had once had this person’s wholehearted trust and dependence. But now, all the other had for him was fear and vigilance.
No matter how much he paid…there was no getting it back.
Qin Ye had come with a chest full of anger and hatred. He had risked his life for the sake of revenge, using any means necessary…. But at this moment, as he took in Xie He’s trembling, terrified appearance and listened to his quivering voice, he felt regret for the first time over having used the young man. Regardless of the grudge between him and the Han Family, Xie He was innocent. And he had hurt an innocent person for the sake of his revenge. He had let his hatred blacken his heart. What difference was there between himself and the despicable Han Family?
Perhaps he had been trying to get revenge in the wrong way from the beginning.

It was just that he had lost. He had no way of taking Xie He away. But because he had lost, he might as well tell the truth. Qin Ye looked at Han Wenqian and said, “Lin Xin had never betrayed you. Even though you had hurt him so badly, even though I had provoked him multiple times, he had never betrayed you. The phone call that time had been coerced by me. Don’t misunderstand him. Don’t hurt him.”
I’m sorry. This is the only thing I can do for you. Qin Ye looked at Xie He.
Han Wenqian covered his abdomen with a hand but the blood continued to spill out. He knew that what he needed most right now was a doctor, but Qin Ye’s words made him incomparably angry. He also felt regretful…. Yes, ah, even Qin Ye knew that Xie He had never betrayed him, but Han Wenqian hadn’t believed him. However, what right did Qin Ye have to say such things to him?!
If it wasn’t for him, there would never have been such a misunderstanding!
Han Wenqian couldn’t reveal any pain in front of Xie He. He was afraid that his negative emotions would scare Xie He. Qin Ye’s words finally gave him an outlet for the hatred in his chest! He stared at Qin Ye coldly, the corner of his lips quirked upwards. “There’s no need for you to concern yourself with someone who’s mine. However…I don’t think you’ll have the time to feel concerned over him from now on.”
Qin Ye laughed. He obviously knew what awaited him. But that didn’t matter. He had already made plans for the worst case scenario.
Han Wenqian said in an icy tone, “Take him away.”
His subordinates immediately pushed Qin Ye out. Xie He saw that Qin Ye was about to leave and suddenly spoke out in a shaky voice, “C-can you please wait a minute…?”
Han Wenqian turned his head. He did his best to make sure his expression wasn’t too scary and asked Xie He in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Xie He was obviously very afraid of him but he still posed his question. “Are you going to kill him?”
Han Wenqian pursed his lips, not giving a reply.
Xie He felt that perhaps he shouldn’t speak out of turn like this, but with how important he thought a human life was, he could not turn a blind eye to this. Although Qin Ye had tried to convince him to betray the Han Family all this time and had also told him the truth, at the very least, in Xie He’s eyes…Qin Ye was far less terrifying compared to Han Wenqian. If Han Wenqian killed Qin Ye today, would he continue to torment Xie He in a fit of anger tomorrow? Xie He felt a bit of kinship towards Qin Ye, who was also in a desperate situation. He cast his eyes downwards and said, “Could you let him off?”
However, these words made Han Wenqian nearly unable to keep his balance. Heh…Xie He was so afraid of him but was still asking for forgiveness on Qin Ye’s behalf. Was he not afraid right now?
This also shocked Qin Ye. He had never thought that Xie He would speak on his behalf. Immediately, his eyes were filled with a complicated emotion.

Han Wenqian’s fingers curled up slightly. At this moment, the doctors arrived and were about to barge in. However, they were stopped outside. Han Wenqian slowly asked Xie He, “Why?”
“I…just don’t think that this is right…” Xie He’s eyelashes fluttered, his voice quiet. He seemed to be thinking. He then slowly raised his head and gathered his courage to look at Han Wenqian. He gave him a wan smile. “Actually, he didn’t really manage to do anything….”
I’m the same. I haven’t done anything…you’re the winner, so why must you kill us both off…?
Han Wenqian’s eyes lost focus. When he heard Xie He’s words and looked into his sorrow-filled eyes, he understood what the other was feeling&#k2026;. He felt grief for Qin Ye because he felt the same way. Xie He hadn’t done anything but had been treated so cruelly&#k2026;.
He was begging for leniency on Qin Ye’s behalf but was also proclaiming his own innocence at the same time.
Yes, in this life, Xie He had done nothing wrong. In this life, Qin Ye had also yet to do anything that would harm him. Han Wenqian had put a stop to all of it.
But he had still wanted revenge. He had been controlled by his hatred from his previous life.
This time, the first to strike had been him.
Han Wenqian suddenly broke out into a smile. This smile was one of powerlessness and sadness. His eyes were very still. A long time later, he seemed to have let go of something. He slowly said, “OK, I’ll let him go.”
If that is what you wish, I will do it for you. What I’m letting go of is not him, but my hatred from my previous life—the wrong that had yet to occur.
If I cannot save you, the least I can do, is to do as you wish.

Qin Ye stared at Xie He, in a daze. He then glanced at Han Wenqian. He didn’t think that Han Wenqian would actually agree. The other had clearly hated him but with just one sentence from Xie He…he was willing to let go. He was willing to let go of Qin Ye, a dangerous and unsafe enemy.
Qin Ye had dedicated everything he had to revenge but now he needed the Han Family’s forgiveness? How ridiculous…. His revenge had turned into a joke!
Han Wenqian stared at Xie He and asked, “Anything else?”
Xie He shook his head, returning the other’s gaze with a timid look.
Han Wenqian nodded and turned to leave in silence. He had just walked out the door when his eyes shut and he tumbled to the ground. The doctors outside quickly surrounded him with concern.
【Xie He：Gege has two stab wounds. Although he didn’t hit any vitals, he’s lost too much blood. It must not have been easy to have lasted this long. He’s a really laudable, dedicated fellow. Smile.JPG 】
【444：O(∩_∩)O~】
【Xie He：Baby, don’t you feel like there’s a holy halo emitting from me? Isn’t it like I’m the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty?】
【444：You’ve also said this in the past. O(∩_∩)O~】Back then, he had wanted to leave. And now, he felt the same!
【Xie He：That’s right. Your memory has improved. 🙂 】
【444：……】
……………………………………
Because Han Wenqian was injured, he didn’t appear before Xie He for a good number of days.
Xie He was really bored. Without Gege around for his amusement, he could only watch movies to pass the time. After several days, Han Wenqian finally appeared again.
After not meeting for some time, the originally quiet and reticent Han Wenqian was even more quiet. His cold, stern face held no emotion. When he came, the nurse had been feeding Xie He. Han Wenqian came over and took over. He said to the nurse, “You can leave.”
The nurse handed the bowl over to Han Wenqian.
Han Wenqian spooned some porridge up, blew on it, and brought it to Xie He’s lips, silently feeding the other. Xie He didn’t really react. It was the same no matter who fed him. He ate in silence. For a moment, the room was like a silent film.
Han Wenqian finished feeding Xie He and was about to leave with the bowl when Xie He suddenly spoke up in a soft voice. “Y-you’re hurt….”
At that time, because he had been too scared, he hadn’t thought much about it. Later on, he remembered how Han Wenqian had been covered in blood. When he noticed that the other hadn’t appeared for a few consecutive days, he couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to Han Wenqian….
Han Wenqian nodded but his expression didn’t change. Compared to Xie He’s wounds, his was nothing.
Xie He hesitated but still ended up asking, “Why are you hurt?”
Han Wenqian was silent for a while and then said, “An accident.” He had no intention of continuing this subject with Xie He. He left and the nurse came back in.
From that day on, Han Wenqian continued to come see Xie He every day. However, he wasn’t there all the time, like he had in the past. He thought that Xie He probably didn’t want to see him, so he might as well give him some space. He couldn’t be so selfish, thinking only of his own feelings. Therefore, even though his heart hurt and he was in pain, he felt like he had to learn to adapt to the other’s needs….
Han Wenqian installed security cameras in Xie He’s room. Every day, he’d watch from his phone. If the nurses ever did anything he didn’t like, he would immediately call and give corrections. As such, even when he wasn’t present, no one dared to slack off in the least.
【Xie He：I’m almost all better. Smile.JPG】
【444：(⊙v⊙) Hm？】
【Xie He：Therefore, it’s time for another tumble in the sheets. I miss Gege’s powerful and mighty side in bed. Hehe. 】
【444：……】He thinks that it’s going to be a little hard to make that happen…._(:зゝ∠)_
【Xie He：Baby, do you doubt my capabilities? 】
【444：Absolutely not! O(∩_∩)O~】
【Xie He：Very good. 🙂 】
Because of the long-term treatment for his addiction, Xie He’s symptoms were not as intense. They didn’t break out as frequently. However, his cravings were getting worse. His negative attitude made him look terrible.
Seeing this, Han Wenqian’s heart ached. He knew that Xie He had already given up on persevering. He had already begun to give up and now wanted to fall….
Finally, one day, when Han Wenqian tied Xie He up and was about to give him his medicine, Xie He refused. He looked at Han Wenqian with pain on his face and a deranged look in his eyes. He alternated between periods of laughter and tears. His voice was hoarse. “I don’t want to take medicine. Give me the drug, I want the drug….”
He didn’t want to fight it anymore.
He just wanted to sink into depravity.
Because of Xie He’s struggle, the medicine fell from Han Wenqian’s hand to the bed…. Han Wenqian stared at the medicine on the sheets. Gradually, a callous, firm expression emerged in his eyes. He picked it back up, pinched Xie He’s jaw and force fed him the medicine.
Han Wenqian looked at Xie He. He didn’t care if the other was listening. He stressed, “You can get over your addiction. I will help you.”
He didn’t leave afterwards. He sat there, watching and waiting for Xie He to calm down. He then undid the other’s binds. He gently held Xie He in his arms, his large hand caressing Xie He’s hair. In a low voice, he said, “If you’re tired, sleep. You don’t have to think about anything.”
Xie He’s eyes were hazy and half closed. After some time, he fell asleep.
Han Wenqian lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on the other’s forehead. I know that it’s really hard on you. I know that you don’t want to fight anymore. But…I will help you fight on. Even if you’ve given up, even if the whole world has given up on you, I will not give up.
I will fight on my own.
Han Wenqian continued to leave early in the morning and return late at night. Xie He’s condition had improved a lot lately. He was able to eat a much larger variety of foods. When Han Wenqian got off work, he would specifically go buy Xie He’s favourite dishes and bring them over.
Xie He could not use his hands, so Han Wenqian would cut the food into small pieces and patiently feed him, never finding it troublesome.
When Xie He finished, Han Wenqian took out a napkin to wipe Xie He’s oily lips. Xie He suddenly reached out and grasped Han Wenqian’s hands. Actually, ‘grasp’ wasn’t the right word…. Both of his hands were still wrapped in gauze and his fingers bent unnaturally. He basically just brought his hands towards Han Wenqian’s own.
Han Wenqian’s expression stiffened. Xie He very rarely did anything outside of what was necessary…. However, he didn’t dare wish for much and therefore, didn’t look excited or happy. He just looked at Xie He normally and spoke in a cool voice. “What’s wrong?”
Xie He looked back at him. A long time later, he asked softly, “Why are you so good to me?”
Recently, Han Wenqian had taken very good care of him. He could no longer make himself believe that this was a new act Han Wenqian was doing to further hurt him. This kind of act consumed too much time and energy. Han Wenqian treated him well, like he had in the past. No…he was treating him even better than he had in the past.
But why?
Xie He didn’t understand.
Han Wenqian’s lips trembled slightly. After some time, he slowly said, “I misunderstood you back then. I owe this to you.”
Xie He looked like he suddenly understood it all. He hesitated and then cautiously said, “But…you said that I was nothing but a toy for you to play with….”
Therefore, he would have understood even if the other hadn’t decided to compensate him.
Han Wenqian’s lips curled up and he slowly let out a self-deprecating voice. “No, I had only said that in anger. You’re the person I love the most.”
Xie He was startled. He repeated in surprise, “Love?”
“Yes, I love you.” Han Wenqian suddenly stood up and bent over, kissing Xie He softly on the lips. This kiss held no lust. There was only a thick, profound love that was deep enough to drown a person. It was nothing more than a touch of lips. His voice was low and hoarse. “I love you in this way.”
I have always wanted to tell you…tell you that I loved you in this way.
Now, I finally said it out loud. I know that you won’t accept me. I know that I’m just asking for pain. But so what? In any case, I’ve already fallen into hell. I don’t care if it hurts a little more.
Xie He widened his eyes in shock. There was disbelief in his eyes.
Han Wenqian chuckled, acting like he had in the past. He rubbed Xie He’s head dotingly and said, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t force you. Just treat me like your older brother. I will protect you like I had in the past.”
It was already late. Han Wenqian went out to throw out the trash and then returned to the room. He then carefully carried Xie He into the washroom and helped him wash himself.
Since the scalding incident, Han Wenqian did not feel assured letting Xie He wash himself. There was no room for compromise. Actually, he had done everything he could to fulfill nearly all of Xie He’s requests. It was just that Xie He’s safety and treatment were not up for discussion. There was no defying him on this matter.
Xie He let Han Wenqian carry him to the washroom. He looked down, a pensive look flashing through his eyes. There was even…an odd glint.
The warm water streamed down his body. The young man’s feeble body was completely exposed. There were still scars on his upper body. They were very striking against his pale skin.
Xie He quietly sat in the tub. He could feel Han Wenqian’s gentle actions. Han Wenqian’s palm was coarse and hot. When it caressed his skin…a bit of a strange sensation came with it.
Xie He had originally shut his eyes. All sorts of painful memories filled his brain, mixing together. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stood up. He stood on his tip-toes, still in the tub, and wrapped his arms around Han Wenqian’s neck. The water splashed Han Wenqian, wetting his shirt. His wet shirt stuck to his skin, revealing a slim but powerful waist and a sturdy chest.
Han Wenqian was startled. He was about to pull Xie He off of him when he felt a pair of soft lips against his own.
That moment, Han Wenqian felt like something had exploded in his brain. He couldn’t think. He felt like the earth was shaking…. The person he loved was currently kissing him.
Xie He’s body was stiff, as if he felt very uncomfortable. He also seemed a bit timid. His lips were pasted onto Han Wenqian’s, making him feel very nervous. After some time, Xie He stuck out his tongue, licking softly….
This light touch was like a strong, undefiable pull that drained Han Wenqian’s remaining reason and self-control. He finally could not hold back and returned the kiss heavily. He fiercely pried apart Xie He’s teeth, kissing back with devastating force!
He loved the other so much. He yearned for him, wanted him! The violently surging love he had suppressed in his chest only needed a tiny hole before it would uncontrollably breach its barrier and charge through!
Xie He was kissed until he was left gasping for air. His hands laid on the other’s shoulders weakly. A long time later, he parted his ruddy, swollen lips and out came a weak voice. “Ge…I also love you….”
Han Wenqian’s eyes were full of shock. His frozen expression slowly cracked. There was an inaudible shudder in his voice. He didn’t believe the other and felt incredulous. “You…love me?”
Xie He came close, clumsily planting a kiss on the other’s cheek. His voice was quiet. “Mn…I also love you. I like being with you. I also like…you doing that to me….”
Xie He’s cheeks were flushed. It was unknown whether it was from shame or the hot air. The dense mist made his eyes gleam. He said, “Only you…It’s only with you that I don’t hate it….”
For a second, Han Wenqian thought that he was dreaming. This must be a dream. But he really wanted to stay in this dream forever and never wake up.
A dream as perfect as this could bewitch a person.
Han Wenqian hugged Xie He and pressed him against the bathroom wall. He pressed his forehead against Xie He’s, voice low and raspy. “Really…?”
Xie He made a sound of agreement. The man’s oppressive, violating aura made his body tremble. However, he didn’t try to escape. Instead, he seemed to welcome the other’s actions….
A low growl ripped out from Han Wenqian’s throat and he once again kissed Xie He deeply!
………………………………
After so many months, Han Wenqian finally got to have the person he loved again. He wanted to meld Xie He into his own body, to carefully and meticulously kiss him…. He wanted to be inside of the other constantly. However, when he thought of Xie He’s condition, he couldn’t bear to hurt the feeble young man. In the end, Han Wenqian called it a day after doing him a few times.
However, he couldn’t bear to let go of Xie He. Even though they had stopped, he still held onto the young man, not willing to let go.
Han Wenqian wiped Xie He’s body clean and carried him back to the bed. He hugged him, placing tender kisses on his eyelids. His fingertips traced the outline of the other’s face…. It was too beautiful of a dream. Han Wenqian was worried. He had never thought himself to be an overly cautious coward. But when faced with Xie He’s amicability, he felt the same apprehension as if he were about to step on clouds.
He was obviously a decisive, cold-hearted man, but right now, he was like a nervous child who had fallen into the river of love. Han Wenqian hesitated for a very long time but couldn’t help but feel uneasy. He asked Xie He in a quiet voice, “Do you regret it…?”
If you regret it, I won’t touch you again.
Xie He gave him a faint smile. He turned to face Han Wenqian, craning his head up to plant a kiss on Han Wenqian’s lips. “I don’t regret it. Do you believe me?”
Han Wenqian body was taut from nervousness. His heart was jumping intensely. It was the first time in such a long while in which he felt his body feel warm…the world was once again full of colour….
Xie He looked at Han Wenqian with hazy eyes. His tone was intimate and carried a bit of a fawning quality to it. “Ge...I like you the most. You also like me. You’ve always treated me well, right…?”
Han Wenqian slowly moved, nodding energetically.
Xie He seemed very happy. He squeezed in close to Han Wenqian, tightly sticking against Han Wenqian’s scorching body. There was a smile on his face as he quietly said, “As long as you’re happy, I can do those things with you every day. I really like it and will cooperate with you…so…give me my drugs, OK…?”
The last sentence was like a ruthless sharp claw tearing apart everything before Han Wenqian. The beautiful dream was cruelly ripped into two. The world changed drastically around him.
Han Wenqian’s heart that had just been fiery hot and racing now felt like it had fallen into a bottomless icy pool.
