[From the look of Mo Ran, he is also imagining him wagging his tail. Amused, he reaches for one of the chocolates and eats one while looking at his husband.] Mh, It's a shame that dogs can't eat chocolate... [he comments vaguely resembling a joke.]

I mean that. . . I don't mind it. [If he did, he would've smacked him in the head already.]

Would I be letting you off easily if that was the case? [He scoffs, not telling Mo Ran directly but still giving him a hint thanks to his pout working on him.]

[He blinked at him, then at the chocolates.] You've improved a lot, they look flawless... it is almost a shame to eat them. [Almost, he is absolutely going to devour every last one of them.]

[He sighed in preventive exasperation, shooting him a glare but not directly telling him off. Truth is, a part of him looked forward to whatever his husband would do to "extra woo him". So for now, he remained silent.]

Is it now... [He wasn't the best at keeping track of festivities, but he will remember this one in the future.]

Thank you, Mo Ran. [He puts the box of chocolates down between the two of them.] Have you bought them?

Mhm, we'll celebrate it, but don't exaggerate.
[He knows how passionate Taxian-jun can get.]

[He takes the chocolates... obviously, but he is a little stunned. He hasn't realized yet Mo Ran's plan leading up to Valentine's day.]

Chocolate day? Was I not aware of the existence of this day, or did you just make it up?

Mo Ran, we are married,
You've already accomplished the goal of "wooing" me.

Can you be good for me?
[He whispered with a softer tone, full of all the affection he had for this beautiful man as he closed in their distance, reaching his hand to dance on Mo Ran's bare chest before sliding them slowly to his bound wrists.]

to recall tianwen and throw himself at the beast?]

I am not getting you out of there, not until you promise to beheave. [Despite his thoughts, he pressed on, fueled by the fact that his husband actually liked this... and besides, seeing his muscles ripple at his struggling was quite the sight.] +

[The elder's will wavered at the brazen words of his husband. Seeing him so desperately trying to reach him like a beast trapped in a cage with a piece of meat dangling in front of it was making Chu Wanning's heart clench.

How was he supposed to keep Mo Ran away when all he wanted right now was +

// I miss your Mo Ran too 😔
But you gotta rest up!!

// oh lord, stay safe!!

[The sudden but familiar intrusion makes his jaw fall open into the kiss, gasping and whimpering for the overstimulation, but still spreading his legs for it.] ..slow down.. [he manages to muffle out with a heavy tone. He had no idea calling Mo Ran an earthworm had this effect on him.]

You'll have to. [He sends another scolding look to his disciple before he turns himself around on Mo Ran's lap to face his groin, a hand wraps around the man's unit while he slightly raises his butt, wordlessly telling his husband to prepare him as he strokes him slowly.]

[He flinched, his body quite sensitive after not being touched for so long.] ... I haven't changed much in these years. [He still doesn't know how to take compliments. Wordlessly, he decides to test if his husband is just as sensitive by boldly moving a hand to faintly touch the head of his shaft.]

continues with an amused smile, a teasing one.] And I would love you the same even if you were to transform into one of your beloved earthworms.

Silly. [He sighs, his expression softening as he rests his chin on Mo Ran's chest.] You could be in a sea of people and my eyes would only be drawn to you, [he reaches to caress the man's hair.] you could be a sensation in the wind and my heart would know it's you.
