At first Mr.Arai was scared of embracing or even loving the boy, the reason for this was unknown even to himself. It was a fear that came from the depth of his hollow heart telling him to remain hopeless instead of finding fake hope. Slowly the boy had approached him and infatuated him. The boy even confessed to him. His heart was warmed, whole again. Mr.Arai wanted to cherish this boy for many lifetimes. Whatever hopelessness he held was starting to dissipate from the boy's confession.

He slept on the sofa outside, only because he was afraid of losing control of himself. He wanted the boy, too badly too desperately. If in the morning the boy says that last night was a mistake or he doesn't remember, Mr.Arai thought that he might really go crazy. The desire for the boy was growing in the heart of Mr.Arai. No, more like the desire he had kept hidden for too long was again taking shape. He wanted to be with him, but he wouldn't discard the boy's desire, so he wanted wait for the boy.

In the morning Shu XinYi woke up with a mild headache, he saw some medicine with water at the side table. He smiled to himself taking the medicine and then went to the washroom to find toiletries and clothes prepared for him. He showered with warm water and his headache soothed a lot. He got out of the room to find himself in heaven once again. Chocolate waffles, scrambled eggs and coffee. His sensitive nose was filled with this heaven. He breathed the air and bathed in the sunlight by the balcony. He didn't go to the kitchen where Mr.Arai was obviously making breakfast.

This kind of life is not bad. Not bad at all. Shu XinYi gave a deep sigh. Too many emotions had gathered and left him early in the morning. It feels like a lot of time has passed but none at all has been significant as to now. He saw Mr.Arai setting up the table and watched him with a gentle smile rotating the ring on the necklace he wore.

"Good morning, come eat. You can't skip training today so I have prepared small portions for you bunn- Ahem Haruto." Mr.Arai maintained a good ambiance with his presence.

"Thank you for the trouble." Shu XinYi sat down at the table and ate his share silently.

"In 3 days you have another match, this time the losses will count, play well okay." Mr.Arai sincerely adviced.

"Do I get a reward for playing well?" Shu XinYi blinked at him.

Mr.Arai actually blushed, wah so shy? Nah the more shy and docile they are in the start the more ruthless and thick skinned they become, but whatever it's a nice tease. Since Mr.Arai didn't say anything so Shu XinYi didn't tease him anymore either.

He was not in a hurry for an answer from Mr.Arai to his confession. He was prepared to wait for a lifetime but he couldn't bare to hear a no. Shu XinYi was getting ready to leave. "LiFeng."

Shu XinYi stopped in his tracks asking "Hmm?"

"My grandmother called me this name when I was little. She was of Chinese origin, maybe I would be named this if my father hadn't wanted to give me a japenese name." Mr.Arai said while they were clearing the dishes from the table.

Shu XinYi's heart wavered like a piece of nail stuck in his heart had finally been removed. He ignored his beating heart, continuing the conversation "LiFeng? as in a beautiful pheonix because of your appearance?" Shu XinYi asked.

"No Lifeng as in Standing high and upright." Mr.Arai said after a shy pause.

"Your grandmother has a good taste for names. It suits you much better than Ken Arai." Shu XinYi honestly said.

"Then... can you call me LiFeng from now on. I also like this name better." Mr.Arai said it calmly like his heart wasn't beating out of his chest at this moment.

"LiFeng ... I like you." Shu XinYi's hands were shaking as he said this. All his feelings were poured out directly through his heart. He wanted to say this sentence again and again until Mr.Arai understood that at this moment it was Shu XinYi who was in love with LiFeng.

Warning (Slight M)

Shu XinYi looked at Mr.Arai to see any sort of reaction but before he could tilt his head, the back of his neck was held as his body was pushed up against a wall. His lips were kissed lightly yet with desperation, so much that his lips started going numb. More than that Shu XinYi's mind was going numb, he slightly opened his mouth to say something when a warm tounge embraced the inside of his mouth. He didn't even get a chance to breathe as their tounges roled around together.

Shu XinYi gave up resisting and put his arm around Mr.Arai's neck, deepening the kiss even more. He tried to be the one in control but it was all useless. Mr.Arai was too assertive. He let himself be taken over and kissed back with a matching rhythm. The intervals to breathe were too short. Shu XinYi had to stick his tongue out to suck a breath in, panting. The lines of saliva dripping down his lips were given no mind.

Mr.Arai was addicted he couldn't let go, he liked the bunny too much. He tasted like the sweetest honey, the finest wine, no metaphor could describe the ecstasy this taste gave him. After a few minutes of kissing the boy he finally let go. Haruto was panting with his tongue stuck out slightly, his cheeks were beet red and his eyes were moist like he had just cried.

Mr.Arai touched held the boy's chin and raised his head to look at him "If you play well and win the championship you can have all of me. Do you accept little bunny?"

Shu XinYi was too out of breath to speak so he nodded his head like a bird pecking on seeds. He fell into a warm embrace and he rested his head on Mr.Arai's shoulder hugging him back. Shu XinYi said after gaining some of his strength "So I can't have you before the championship ends? aren't you too cruel? Haven't I been patient for this long already. Also I am not little bunny humph." Shu XinYi dug himself further into Mr.Arai's embrace he was too ashamed as he said this. How could he even admit that he loved being called little bunny by LiFeng.

Mr.Arai gave a heartfelt laugh saying "Wouldn't it be difficult to play in court with your waist hurting."

Shu XinYi didn't say anything to refute and humphed again.

It's not a problem to play with a hurting waist but he wants to keep up his good performance, so whatever, he'll wait for the right time.

They ended the hug and Shu XinYi was too embarrassed to look at Mr.Arai so he just hung his head low.

Mr.Arai was too immersed in admiring the boy and forgot that it was almost time for today's training. He finally said "Bunny,You have training in 20 minutes. Leave for the arena okay. Your photoshoot will be released this week with the new collection so I have to settle some business with them. I will be back late so have dinner by yourself okay."

Shu XinYi just hummed in a low voice. Mr.Arai held his hands and wrote a number on it saying "This is my private number, you can call me anytime you want, but know that I don't appreciate being treated lightly."

Shu XinYi nodded again he kissed Mr.Arai's hands before saying bye and dashing off. He was too happy today, it was difficult to describe. He loved LiFeng. He directly went out of the hotel without even changing wearing Mr.Arai's slightly oversized clothes from the morning.

Shu XinYi was locking the bicycle when he heard a familiar voice say "Mr.Arai and you sure do get along well no? You didn't return for the whole night and now you are even wearing his clothes. Was it so easy to get over me. Am I that forgettable?"

Obviously it was Akihiko who was laughing in a pained manner. Shu XinYi didn't say anything because he didn't have to explain himself to Akihiko.

"Haruto you are mine no matter who you are with." He said this and went away. Shu XinYi thought of the possibilities of what Akihiko would do next. He is a narcissist who has lost his admirer so he will go to certain lengths to bring them back. If Shu XinYi is correct Akihiko should try to ruin Haruto's reputation or make a situation where Haruto can only depend on him. Maybe for the original goods this was possible to achieve but now that it was Shu XinYi all his feats were going to backfire on himself.

Shu XinYi trained for the day and bought dinner from outside, eating in his own room. Akihiko had started to behave with him like they were still very close. This behavior gave Shu XinYi the creeps but as he was Haruto, he remained silent and didn't change his behavior.

"Haruto do you want to eat out tonight with me? or do you already have dinner plans with someone?" Akihiko asked as they were walking back their cycles to the hotel.

"I have plans with myself for tonight." Shu XinYi kept it short.

"Great then let's eat together what do you want to eat?" Akihiko acted like he didn't hear. Shu XinYi didn't answer him and continued walking so Akihiko continued "How about some seafood?" Akihiko knew what Haruto liked well.

"No I ate sea food last night."

"Then some pizza, hmm. Simple enough right. We'll just order and eat in my room." Akihiko.

"No, I'll say it clearly. We are not familiar anymore so don't cross the line."

"Lines have been drawn for me hah.... how strange have we become Haruto. For my one mistake you make me suffer this much but aren't you the one who used me to get into basketball and now that I have become useless to you , you go to Mr.Arai for favours." Akihiko was broken inside saying this. He will make Haruto hate him, hate him so much that he can't get him out of his mind.

"Do you have to be so pathetic Akihiko? I always thought you were a good man but now I see all these sides of you. You can say and think whatever you want Akihiko. I'll leave you with yourself, good bye." Shu XinYi said as they reached the hotel. He went to his own room to change and then went out to get some food. He didn't dine in the hotel buffet since the food was becoming repeated.

"Snow why do you think he wants me to hate him?" Shu XinYi was not very well versed with understanding human emotions, but he did recognize them well.

"Master he wants you to remember him in any way possible he wants to be a part of your life be that by hate or love" Snow wasn't human, so it gave the logical answer, which was right in this case.

"But isn't he already a part of my life? I don't know what kind of lengths he will go to make me hate himself. Should I hate him then?" Shu XinYi asked, if Akihiko's intention was to be hated, then it would be difficult to decide.

"Master If you hate him he will be motivated to fuel your hate and appear in your life at every corner. For him to fail you have to make sure he is just a fading memory in Haruto's mind." Snow highlighted the conditions for developing a virus code.

"Hmm I understood that much, Aah I want to have some good fruit wine tonight." Shu XinYi did just that treating himself to a light fulfilling dinner then accompanying himself to his room. He was just outside his room when his phone vibrated he opened it to see a text from LiFeng "180277 my penthouse pass code. Sleep there from now on okay. Unless you feel uncomfortable ofcourse. I am sorry for texting this now only I just remembered. Good night."

Shu XinYi smiled to himself and brought out some clothes of himself and went to LiFeng's penthouse. The two times he slept here LiFeng didn't sleep in the same bed, once because of formality and second time because of his self control problems. Shu XinYi hoped that when he woke up the next morning he will find a warm body beside him. Something so insignificant yet something so peaceful.

Shu XinYi slept fairly quickly and sometime in the middle of the night he felt a warm hand embrace him. He quickly adjusted to it and fell into a deeper sleep. It was so natural, from sleeping in the same bed to spending time with each other. Even if they had only known each other for about 2 months, it seemed like they were always meant to be together.

Shu XinYi woke up to find golden rays of the sun on his eyes he squinted his eyes a little when a shadow covered the bright rays. He looked up to see LiFeng looking at him with a gentle gaze. Shu XinYi smiled and then yawned a little covering it with his hands. "Good morning, when did you come back?" He asked in a husky tone.

"Good morning, I came 5 hours ago, you sleep well" LiFeng said as he smiled a little.

"humph I knew when you came alright. I didn't sleep deeply at all." Shu XinYi felt grumpy early in the morning.

LiFeng laughed a little at little bunny's morning temper and he moved to kiss his lips after some thought saying in a losing tone "Yes yes bunny is a very light sleeper, It must've been too dark for me to notice." He bent down and kissed the boy again several times.

Shu XinYi suddenly said "Um wait wait I haven't brushed yet."

"Then let's go" LiFeng got off the bed and lent out his hand for him. They brushed together when LiFeng naturally suggested "Wanna shower together?"

Shu XinYi blushed a little saying "No, It's cold so who will get to be on the warm side then?"

"Then bath?" Shu XinYi didn't say anything for 2 minutes then shyly said "o-okay"

Although their relationship was progressing on a fast pace, Shu XinYi didn't feel like he was missing any momentum so he just let it be.

WARNING 18+

LiFeng kissed his neck then went to turn on the hot tub by the indoor pool in his penthouse. They entered the warm water in only their shorts. Both of them had not even thought before they started kissing each other desperately in the water. Shu XinYi sat on LiFeng's lap and had his hands around his neck kissing him fervently. He moaned in a muffled voice as he felt a hand pinch his nipple. LiFeng moved his head from the boy's mouth and moved down to kiss his neck and shoulders.

Shu XinYi just let himself be taken panting and moaning. "Aah slow down haa Don't leave marks right now, okay AH PLeaSe." Shu XinYi felt the sucking and kissing becoming fiercer as he said this. He also wanted to do something with his hands so he moved his hands to lower LiFeng's shorts. Shu XinYi looked at LiFeng for some affirmation and saw him nod as he was sucking his nipple. Shu XinYi pulled out the his already swollen and hot c**k.

LiFeng hissed as Shu XinYi rubbed him with both of his hands. Shu XinYi's movements were a bit immature he rubbed his hands up and down the shaft trying to comfort LiFeng but this only enticed him. "Ah bunny follow me okay."

LiFeng moved to pull down Haruto's shorts and then held his c**k rubbing the tip with his fingers. Then he moved his hand up and down and rubbed his thumb along the nerve lines. Shu xinYi repeated his actions, he didn't like that they were in the water. He wanted to see all of LiFeng without the water blocking his sight. So he complained "AH I want to see... LiFeng HAA I want to see you."

LiFeng too wanted the same so he easily lifted Haruto out of the hot tub and carried him to the sofa, both of them dripping wet and naked. "Your sofa will mmph-" LiFeng shut him up by kissing him. Before he could let the boy down on the sofa the boy pushed him down and sat on top of him. LiFeng let the boy do his antics and continued rubbing his member. Shu XinYi looked at LiFeng's member and continued to rub it up and down with fast and slightly better hand movements.

Shu XinYi thought of something and then told LiFeng to hold and rub both of their c**ks together. With LiFeng's large hand guiding Haruto's hand in rubbing both of them together, the two reached climax after some time. LiFeng pulled down the boy to lay him down on his chest, their bodies were stained with water sweat and come. Lifeng said in a low lazy tone "Let's get changed soon okay or do you want to rest for now?"

Shu XinYi had his head buried in his warm chest and he was still breathing heavily as he said "I have to go to training in an hour let's just shower alone or I won't be able to go to training today." Shu XinYi felt LiFeng laughing a little before saying "Okay, then go take your time" he kissed Haruto's head and let him go for a shower.

Warning over.
