Chapter 1233: Millennium Love Story 38

Chen Zhu's hand touched Jin Chen's back, feeling his warmth, and loneliness gradually gave way.

He held Jin Chen tightly, not easing his grip, cheeks rubbing Jin Chen's neck, "Bao Bao… I think I'm having another episode."

Chen Zhu could feel it—no one stays up all night just to stare at the stars from the balcony, wanting to jump off…

It seemed like he could become a star himself.

Chen Zhu sounded like he was complaining, yet also pleading out of fear.

"But I've been taking my medicine on schedule—why am I still having episodes?"

Jin Chen listened, heart aching, cupped Chen Zhu's face, foreheads touching, "Don't be afraid."

"If you ever want to look at the stars again, big brother, remember to call me."

"I'm having an episode," Chen Zhu said, his gaze growing stubborn, refusing to meet Jin Chen's eyes, as if afraid to scare him.

"I should take more medicine."

Jin Chen's attempt at coquetry failed; his hand suddenly turned forceful, pinching Chen Zhu's chin to force eye contact.

"Chen Zhu, look at me."

His magnetic voice was pleasant in the quiet night; Chen Zhu felt his ear itch, instinctively tilted his head, and met Jin Chen's eyes.

"Bao Bao…?"

In front of Chen Zhu, Jin Chen rarely acted so domineering.

That doesn't count in bed.

Chen Zhu blinked in surprise, placed his hand over Jin Chen's, "What's wrong?"

"I'm talking to you—why are you ignoring me?"

Jin Chen leaned in, pinning the person in his arms, teeth grazing the soft earlobe, a threatening yet gentle grind.

"It hurts…"

Chen Zhu's ears were especially sensitive; his eyes instantly welled, and his body shuddered uncontrollably.

"Don't bite my ears…"

He tried to push Jin Chen away, but was caught in a reverse grip, his whole body leaning back into the rattan chair, the blanket-wrapped form leaving him unable to resist.

Like a cocoon tightly bound, unable to break free.

Jin Chen seemed not to hear Chen Zhu's words, nibbling and grinding the earlobe for a long while, only letting go when he felt the faint tremble.

The sensitive earlobe was slightly swollen; Jin Chen pinched it again.

"Bao Bao, you're completely disobedient tonight."

Chen Zhu was utterly vexed, his threat harmless, "Watch out—I'll go get two ropes again."

"Because big brother's talking nonsense."

Jin Chen was utterly unfazed by the threat, merely kissing the corner of Chen Zhu's eyes, his voice hoarse and seductive.

"Your condition hasn't worsened; you don't need to increase your medication."

Chen Zhu closed his eyes, frowned, and because the pose felt utterly safe, he fully relaxed his body, letting Jin Chen press down.

"Really? I don't know."

Chen Zhu twisted his waist, feeling Jin Chen's hand slip into his pajamas, his voice growing softer, "Okay, okay, then there isn't."

"Let's go to sleep…"

Since arriving in Jing Shi, Chen Zhu no longer worries about the cake shop's business or unloading goods in the warehouse, and his abdominal definition has faded.

The longer he loafed around, the more Chen Zhu felt this life was decadent, yet he thoroughly enjoyed it—each day required no thought, just baking what he liked and keeping Jin Chen company.

But lately…

Jin Chen seemed to be trying to use intimate activity to keep him mentally aroused, so he wouldn't sink into lethargy and trigger depression every day.

Chen Zhu truly couldn't hold on.

"Anyway… you're insomnia-ridden."

Jin Chen started coquetting again, rubbing against Chen Zhu, his palm gliding from chest muscle to the mermaid line, both of their temperatures rising.

Chen Zhu was too sensitive; after a few touches his waist went limp and he couldn't rise, his vision swimming, only the person before him remained.

"Wife."

Chen Zhu's earlobe was bitten again, but with no force—rather, it was drawn into a suck.

"Mm…"

Chen Zhu's body instantly tensed then relaxed; the ultimate pleasure tingling made him feel a little creeped out.

"Go… go to the bed."

This was his last line!

"Understood."

Jin Chen scooped the person up, laughing with satisfaction.

To prevent the wife from getting depressed, action is obviously more effective.

Chen Zhu… says one thing but his body does another.

The skin‑craving ailment already made him yearn for Jin Chen's touch—how much more on a night lacking security.

When affection grew deep and rich, Chen Zhu panted heavily, half‑opened his eyes to gaze at Jin Chen, thrusting his chest forward to embrace, seeking a kiss.

The second phase of treatment lasted through the entire autumn.

It should have been faster, but Jin Chen truly didn't want Chen Zhu to bear any risk; they had plenty of time anyway, so why quibble over the days of treatment?

Moreover, it worked well—Chen Zhu hadn't suffered mental weakness or compulsive fantasies in a long time.

His mental state had improved a lot compared to before; even when going out alone, he no longer had to wear a mask like he did in the small town, forcing a smile.

In late autumn, aside from the most important thing—Chen Zhu's condition improving—Jin Chen also received a second piece of good news.

In midsummer, the returns on the overseas companies he had selected for investment began to show results, with large dividends pouring in; the alias Jin Chen used on the website also instantly became a bellwether in the investment world.

Successful investments are common, but to always hit the mark without missing is truly astonishing.

Nevertheless, this investment mogul is determined not to reveal his alter ego, refusing invitations from any leading enterprises and not participating in any summits or social competitions.

The reason is simple: going abroad is too tiring; it's better to stay home and keep his wife company.

As autumn was about to end, Chen Zhu and Jin Chen unexpectedly met someone they knew from the small town in Jing Shi.

The protagonist, under Li Shao's influence, doesn't look very good.

The reason for the meeting is that Chen Zhu has been lazy lately, unwilling to research cakes, wanting to do something fresh to stimulate his brain.

After the two of them conducted some research, Chen Zhu took to going to the gym to work out, regaining the muscles that life had softened.

After Jing Shi successfully bid for the Olympics last year, a large number of fitness enthusiasts emerged, and gyms sprang up everywhere in the living circles.

Chen Zhu found the training methods inside novel, and he rarely felt interested.

Going to the gym, working out, there are so many people.

With each word Jin Chen said, his face drooped a bit more.

Brother… we also have a gym at home.

"That's different; at home I easily get lazy." Chen Zhu ruffled Jin Chen's head that had come close.

I haven't gone in a long time; about twice a week.

Chen Zhu is quite self-aware; if he has intimate exercise one day, he definitely won't have the energy to go to the gym the next day.

Jin Chen made up his mind firmly: "Then I'll go with Brother."

Protecting his wife is something he won't shy away from!

Chen Zhu widened his eyes in surprise, "You…"

He chuckled, "You don't like exercise, do you?"

"People can change; I… suddenly, I like it again."

Jin Chen, who just wanted to lie at home as a salted fish, forced a smile.

Great, then let's go today.

Chen Zhu put down his fork, "Just right, breakfast was good today."

Jin Chen watched him carry the plate into the kitchen, then weakly collapsed onto the sofa.

Seeing that winter is approaching, shouldn't we be at home checking on investments and keeping his wife company while eating sweet potatoes and pasta?

On such a wonderful day, he actually intends to spend it at the gym.

It's truly sad.
