Chapter 16 - Du Feng (Rev.)
"Yes, let's head back inside the cave before we depart, as I need to collect some stones. I'll leave a few rocks behind. Fortunately, there's no rush, and the river's flow and the waterfall are expected to cease after three years.
If possible, we should construct a dam to manage the water by creating a barrier using earth, rock, and concrete across the stream or river. This dam will allow us to store water in a reservoir, serving various purposes like irrigation.
Additionally, we can channel the flow through hydraulic turbines to generate electricity for homes and fields. This hydroelectric power qualifies as a renewable energy source since the reservoir water used for electricity generation is continuously replenished."
And, of course, let's not overlook the possibility of building water wells. We must make the most of the time we have before the end of the world," Ahjin added.
Xun Wei couldn't help but smile as he listened to Ahjin speaking as if there were no tomorrow. Overwhelmed by the impulse, he leaned in and kissed the lovely person passionately. He enveloped Huang Jin in his arms, pressing his lips against his, savoring the moment until Huang Jin's breath grew faint.
Huang Jin was taken aback initially but didn't resist Xun Wei's advances. Instead, he responded by kissing Xun Wei back and wrapping his arms around Xun Wei's neck.
Xun Wei lifted Huang Jin's legs and placed them around his waist, while his hands gently caressed Huang Jin's smooth and soft bottom. Unable to resist his playful impulse, Xun Wei lightly tapped it twice.
Huang Jin was taken aback by Xun Wei's playful slap on his behind, causing him to blush, and he playfully hit Xun Wei on the arm. Overwhelmed by the emotions he felt, Huang Jin hugged Xun Wei tightly, and the intensity of the moment brought tears to his eyes.
As they kissed passionately, a strand of saliva trailed from the corner of Huang Jin's lips. Xun Wei tenderly kissed and licked the droplet of saliva that flowed from Huang Jin's lips.
Their kisses were fervent, as if their very lives depended on it. Xun Wei's tongue slipped into Huang Jin's mouth, exhibiting both gentleness and a commanding presence. This kiss was unlike anything Huang Jin had experienced before; it felt like melting into one another. Every inch of his body seemed to dissolve into Xun Wei.
Huang Jin's fingers clutched Xun Wei's hair, pulling him even closer in the heat of the moment. His veins pulsed with desire, and his heart pounded as if it could burst. Never before had Huang Jin yearned for anyone with such intensity and longing.
In the wild forest, Xun Wei pushed Huang Jin backward, and they passionately made out. The weight of Xun Wei's body on top of Huang Jin felt extraordinary. He could sense every part of Xun Wei pressed against him, inhaling the scent of his shaving cream, shampoo, and that unique fresh aroma that was undeniably him—the most delightful smell he could ever imagine.
Huang Jin yearned to devour him, savor him, and be completely consumed by him. Xun Wei's lips tasted like honey, and the faint stubble on his face rubbed against Huang Jin's skin, but he didn't mind at all. It all felt wonderful. His hands explored every inch of Xun Wei, yet he still wanted him even closer.
The intoxicating moment persisted until Xun Wei stopped the kiss, and both of them were left breathing heavily.
Huang Jin remained in a state of intoxication until Xun Wei finally broke the kiss. Both of them were left breathing heavily, caught in the intensity of the moment.
As they stepped outside the cave, the night had already descended. Huang Jin glanced at his watch, and a look of concern creased his delicate brow.
"I believe we should install numerous street lights around the area. It's only five o'clock, but it's already dark," he remarked.
Despite the darkness, they could still see Mr. Wang leaning against the car since its headlights were on, illuminating the surroundings.
As Xun Wei busily removed his wet suit, he overheard what Huang Jin was saying. "Don't worry," he reassured, "I've already discussed this with the engineer we hired.
We bought this land with the intention of surviving and living here for an extended period. I've designated a quarter of the preserve as farmland. Even though we discovered the land beyond the cave, it's still important to have people who know how to farm and raise animals and fish, just as a precaution."
"We can also use the lake at the entrance of the cave, ideal for raising ducks. They can swim freely, and we can introduce fish that thrive in the lake," Huang Jin suggested.
"That's a great idea. Additionally, we can cultivate various herbs and spices; they are essential for our survival," Xun Wei responded enthusiastically.
He then took hold of Huang Jin's body, gently removing his wet suit, and used a towel to dry his head and body. As he gazed at the young man, Xun Wei's brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes lingered on Huang Jin's glossy lips. He vividly recalled the sensation of those lips—soft, delicate, and more exquisite than the finest silk.
Sensing Xun Wei's gaze, Huang Jin let out a soft chuckle. Swiftly and unexpectedly, he reached out and pulled Xun Wei down slightly. In the midst of Xun Wei's surprise, Huang Jin lightly pressed his lips against Xun Wei's.
The next moment, Xun Wei chuckled lightly. "You're quite lively today..."
Huang Jin paid no attention to Xun Wei's playful remark. Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking earnestly, "If you think I'm being too forward, I'll refrain from taking the initiative..."
Before Huang Jin could finish his sentence, Xun Wei placed a finger on his lips, silencing him. With a firm grip on Huang Jin's waist, Xun Wei pulled him closer and leaned in for another passionate kiss.
Huang Jin was taken by surprise initially, but after a moment, he slowly responded to the kiss.
The two men appeared unfazed by the possibility of being seen as they passionately and sincerely kissed. Their lips fervently locked together, their tongues intertwining in an intimate dance. The sounds they made were a mixture of beauty and shame.
Huang Jin realized that Xun Wei's lips were warm and far from the cold and indifferent facade he often portrayed. After the kiss ended, Huang Jin found himself slightly breathless as he listened to Xun Wei's whispered words, "I love kissing your lips; they taste like sugar."
Huang Jin was unsure whether to laugh or feel touched by those words.
After reaching the car, Huang Jin and Xun Wei instructed Mr. Wang to drive them back to the mansion.
About half an hour into the journey, Huang Jin received a message from his father: [How's the preserve?]
With a smile, Huang Jin replied: [It's all under control, and Xun Wei is handling everything. How are stepmom, son, and daughter?]
[No need to worry about them. Focus on taking care of yourself, and if you need anything, just let me know.] his father responded.
"Your father?" Xun Wei inquired.
Huang Jin simply hummed in response, closing his eyes while enveloped in Xun Wei's embrace.
When Xun Wei's holiday came to an end, he returned to the army but made the decision to retire early, intending to discuss Huang Jin and the apocalypse with his family.
Back in the barracks, Xun Wei covertly sent text messages while carrying out his duties. In the eyes of his fellow soldiers, this was akin to the probability of a comet striking the earth.
Once the meeting concluded, Du Feng, a close friend of Xun Wei's, curiously inquired, "Who sent you a text message today? It's not like you to respond to texts during a meeting."
At that moment, Xun Wei was seated in the main chair of the meeting room, smiling as he played with his phone. His slender fingers skillfully twirled the device around. Upon hearing Du Feng's question, he halted his movements and looked up at his friend. "It's not like me?"
Du Feng nodded earnestly. "Yes, it's completely out of character for you. What prompted this sudden change?"
After contemplating for a moment, Xun Wei replied, "Could it be the stimulation of love?" He didn't wait for Du Feng's response and let out a sigh. "You're not in a relationship, so you might not understand it fully."
Du Feng exclaimed indignantly, "Why should I be in a relationship? I'm a single nobleman, a single man, you see! I'm free to do as I please... Wait a minute! Xun Wei, what did you just say? I think I must have misheard. Can you say it again?"
The handsome man glanced at Du Feng with his deep eyes and spoke calmly, "Indeed, someone who isn't in a relationship may find it challenging to understand."
Du Feng responded with an aggressive expression, "Oh, how surprising! Do you have a romantic interest? Are you in a relationship? Who on earth would tolerate your personality enough to like you? If you're in a relationship, then I believe God must be blind!"
Xun Wei calmly flipped over his phone, maintaining his composure as Du Feng vented. Suddenly, Du Feng recalled something and exclaimed, "Damn you, you should've informed me earlier if you're in a relationship. Who is it?"
Raising an eyebrow, Xun Wei responded, "Are they my partner or yours?"
Du Feng replied, "Obviously, they're yours."
"In that case, there's no reason for me to tell you," Xun Wei retorted.
Du Feng, "…"
Du Feng was left speechless.
"Don't leave work! You can't go!" Du Feng protested.
"I am leaving. Didn't you hear what the Chief said? I submitted my resignation yesterday, so I'm just waiting for the official order," Xun Wei explained to Du Feng.
"What! Why? Why the rush? You're still young to retire! Tell me, what's the matter?" Du Feng bombarded Xun Wei with a series of questions.
"If I tell you, you might not believe it. So, when I share it, please listen first. I need people I trust the most, and I hope you're one of them. Give me a call once you've made your decision," Xun Wei said before leaving Du Feng, no longer bothering to explain further.
