Here’s an English translation of the provided text:
Ji appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs – a perfect golden ratio physique.
He wore a black brocade robe, open wide to reveal his muscular build. His extremely handsome face was shrouded in an almost tangible cold and fierce aura that struck fear into people at first sight.
The man sat in the pavilion, admiring the scenery of the courtyard while drinking hot wine. Servants carefully attended to him nearby…
Gu Bai noticed this man for a reason.
Just now, he had sensed a very familiar feeling from this man, very similar to the man he had encountered in the previous two worlds!
After meeting twice across different worlds, and being nourished by that man’s soul, he keenly discovered that he seemed to have established some kind of connection with the man, allowing him to sense the other’s aura.
Although he had already confirmed with the mysterious owner in the starry sky before coming on this mission, and he knew it was impossible to encounter that person every time in the vast multiverse, he was actually hopeful after meeting him twice in a row.
He didn’t know exactly what his feelings were for that man, but he felt that the days spent with him were very happy. He was looking forward to meeting him again, which is why he had boldly asked the mysterious owner for confirmation.
His heart beating slightly faster, Gu Bai couldn’t help but hold his breath. Was this man really him?
However, at this moment, the familiar feeling with the man was not very strong. It was vague, and he wasn’t sure. To further confirm, more intimate actions would be necessary.
Embracing, kissing, even…
Thinking of this, Gu Bai glanced at him, and keenly sensed that despite the seemingly empty backyard, there were actually quite a few guards hidden. All this proved that this man had a high status and wasn’t someone to be trifled with casually. Moreover, he didn’t seem to have a very good temper.
Gu Bai hesitated for a while, but finally approached with thick skin, unable to suppress the inexplicable anticipation in his heart.
Quietly coming down from the roof and tidying his clothes, he walked to the outside of the pavilion, poked his head in, and spoke in a crisp voice.
“Hey, what kind of wine is that? It smells so good!”
Hearing the voice, the man paused his drinking, slightly raising his eyelids. When he saw Gu Bai, his pupils couldn’t help but constrict, and his breathing stopped.
He had seen many beauties in his life, but few as exquisite as the young man before him. Yet this alone wasn’t enough to amaze him. What really made him catch his breath were those eyes.
Although the sapphire blue eyes were special, as transparent as gems, the key was the emotion flickering in them. Through those eyes, he seemed to see a different soul, the clear feeling impacting his senses.
“Fusang wine from the Lanling Kingdom. Would you like some?”
Extraordinarily, he didn’t drive the person away, but instead raised his wine cup to invite the young man to drink together, in a good mood.
“May I?” The young man’s face lit up with a delighted smile, then he happily ran over, bent down to the wine pot, took a strong sniff, and said with his beautiful eyes narrowed,
“So this is the legendary Fusang wine that’s hard to buy even with a thousand gold? Are you really going to treat me? Just one sip would cost a hundred gold…”
“Do I look like someone who lacks money?” Ji Changyin couldn’t help but smile, personally filling a cup of wine and handing it over, making the attending guards widen their eyes. The master actually smiled! The master even personally poured wine for someone!
“You don’t look like it! Then I’ll drink…” The young man smiled and shook his head, then his delicate white hand grabbed his wrist, lowered his head and brought his lips to the edge of the cup, taking a light sip. After drinking, he even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.
That tongue was as small and cute as the young man himself, its pink color making Ji Changyin’s eyes darken involuntarily. Even the wrist that had just been touched seemed to become a bit hot.
“Is it good?” He withdrew his hand while drinking the remaining half cup of wine. The feeling of sharing a cup with the young man made his heart race wildly, giving him the illusion that his body’s blood was churning.
“Hmm… it’s okay, far from as delicious as described in legends. I’ve had better wine. Would you like to try it?”
As he spoke, the young man ran over and actually sat down beside him.
…
Ji Changyin was not used to such close contact with strangers.
As soon as Gu Bai sat down beside him, the attending guards’ expressions changed, intending to come forward and drive him away, but they were immediately stopped by his cold glare.
“Lanling Kingdom is known as the country of wine, with all the world’s fine wines coming from there. Fusang wine is the best among them. There are no more than three wines that can compare to it: Golden Goblet, Wood Fragrance, and Amber. Which one have you tried?”
Ji Changyin stared at the exquisite young man before him with interest. He really couldn’t understand why he would inexplicably let this young man drink with him, even share the same cup. Not only did he not feel disgusted, but he felt strangely comfortable.
Now he even let the young man come close, which was incredibly strange. If it were anyone else, they would have been driven away or beheaded by now.
Seeing his expression, Gu Bai felt relieved in his heart. He was gambling, betting on his intuition that this person was that man. If it was him, he wouldn’t harm him.
Just like in the previous world, he had reflected many times later that the reason Qin Shitian could so easily let him approach and develop feelings was because of their acquaintance in the first world.
Therefore, reasoning it out, he believed that even without memories, this man’s soul would remember him. It was an inexplicable belief, but whether it was really him still needed further confirmation…
“I haven’t tried any of the ones you mentioned, but I have had wine better than this. Moreover, I can brew it. Would you like to try?…”
While shaking his head, Gu Bai inconspicuously reached out to cling to the man’s arm, his body intimately leaning over as he looked up. The brilliant smile on his exquisite face was dazzling.
The young man’s body was so soft and fresh. Ji Changyin’s deep pupils accumulated dark tides. Taking a deep breath, he couldn’t help but pinch the other’s chin, his tone indescribably gentle.
“Oh? You can brew wine? I’d like to try…”
“Alright, but you have to tell me your name first! Let’s get to know each other!”
The moment the other pinched his chin, Gu Bai felt that familiar feeling deepen even more. His mood was somewhat turbulent.
“Do we have to know each other to drink?”
Ji Changyin lowered his head and came closer, breathing onto the young man’s delicate face. His low, hoarse voice had an indescribable authority.
The limitations of his identity made various dark guesses about the young man’s approach keep popping up in his mind, but they all disappeared when he met those incredibly clear eyes.
Gu Bai’s face heated up from his breath, a blush spreading across his fair cheeks. However, the increasingly familiar feeling excited him greatly. This person was very likely to be him.
“Yes, if you want to drink my wine, you have to tell me your name. My wine is unique in the world. If you want to drink it, you have to follow my requirements…” He looked at the man in front of him, his eyes bright.
Ji Changyin’s heart skipped a beat at Gu Bai’s bright eyes. The hand pinching Gu Bai’s chin couldn’t help but gently caress, a soft color seeping into his cold eyes as he teased,
“You speak with quite a big tone for a child. Why don’t you tell me your name first?”
“I’m not a child, I’m already sixteen. My name is…” Here Gu Bai paused for a moment before continuing.
“My name is Gu Bai, the ‘Bai’ meaning white. Now quickly tell me your name…”
If this man was really him, he hoped he would call him by his own name.
“My name is Ji Changyin. Where’s your wine?” Ji Changyin pinched Gu Bai’s face again, smiling.
He didn’t know why he had so much patience to banter with the young man today, nor did he understand why he couldn’t raise a bit of guard against him, even telling him his real name.
Getting the other’s name, Gu Bai remembered it, then continued to push his luck and ask, “The wine isn’t ready yet. Can you tell me where you live? I’ll bring it to you when it’s done…”
“Are you teasing me?” This line of questioning made Ji Changyin raise an eyebrow.
“No, I’m not teasing you. It’s because I only give my wine to one person in my life. In the vast world of millions of miles, among the countless people, I think you’re the most suitable!”
Seeing that the other seemed a bit angry, Gu Bai quickly said, a unique purity and clarity in his sapphire blue eyes.
“Then why do you think I’m the most suitable?”
Ji Changyin pinched Gu Bai’s fair cheek a little harder. The phrase ‘I only give my wine to one person in my life’ made his mood inexplicably elated.
Having completed two missions, Gu Bai was now a seasoned person who had lived for several hundred years. Moreover, the other’s expression was not subtle, and he immediately saw Ji Changyin’s current emotions.
With his own hands hugging the other’s arm, and the man’s hand pinching his chin, this close and intimate contact made that faint familiar feeling intensify. Whether it was him or not only awaited final confirmation.
“Lower your head, and I’ll tell you…”
Gu Bai suddenly smiled at Ji Changyin, speaking softly.
That smile was unprecedentedly bright and brilliant, like the most moving spring light, or the most enchanting fireworks. It was indescribably beautiful and ineffably elegant. Accompanied by those eyes like clear water, it had a soul-stirring charm.
Ji Changyin was captivated by those beautiful eyes in front of him, involuntarily lowering his head. The next moment, he felt arms around his neck and a soft touch on his lips.
The young man kissed his lips, his small, slippery tongue entering, sucking and licking. When their tongues touched, he felt as if his heart had been heavily struck, with an indescribable sweetness.
This made him wave off the guards who wanted to come forward, then wrap his arms around the young man’s waist, pulling him up, parting his legs to let him straddle his waist, and extending his tongue to intertwine with his.
Ji Changyin actively deepened the kiss, forcefully curling around Gu Bai’s tongue and sucking hard.
The man’s instantly erupting passion was irresistible to Gu Bai, and he didn’t want to resist. The trembling deep in his soul clearly told him that Ji Changyin was that person; they had met again.
He was kissed dizzy, his whole body trembling.
“…Mmm…”
Gu Bai moaned as if in a trance, the tightly pressed lips making every sound that escaped from between them unclear, carrying a sweet nasal tone, like coquettish cries.
This allure made the kiss even more intense, lips and tongues intertwining, tongues entangling, in a desperate embrace.
Only when their tongues were numb and he felt the young man in his arms couldn’t breathe did Ji Changyin reluctantly separate, staring at a silver thread falling between their lips, his eyes dark as he asked hoarsely,
“Who exactly are you?”
Gu Bai, panting, didn’t speak, but stared at his darkened eyes and smiled brilliantly. Confirming that Ji Changyin was the man, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
He felt as if his chest, which had never beaten before, was now thumping.
From childhood to adulthood, his heart had never beaten. No matter how moving the joys and sorrows of life were, he couldn’t feel that sadness.
Before coming on this mission, he had met many people, including some who were truly deep in love, but he could never accept it. He couldn’t feel the burning, pounding feeling in the heart that others described as liking someone.
Everyone said he had no heart, that he was cold-hearted and unfeeling. He had also reflected on whether this was true, whether he was really a person without feelings, whether he really had no heart.
But from the first mission when he met this man, everything seemed to change. This man could give him that feeling of a heartbeat, feeling an indescribable burning flow in his heart. This man proved that he had a heart.
Just then, a commotion came from the teahouse in front, accompanied by the shrill cry of Fu Tianci’s servant, “Second Young Master!” It was deafening, and Gu Bai suddenly realized that it wasn’t dawn yet, but Fu Tianci’s affair had already erupted.
As such, he had to hurry back.
Leaving with the words “When the wine is ready, I’ll come here to wait for you…”, Gu Bai leaned over and gave the man another loud kiss on the face, then nimbly got off him, his toes touching lightly as he quickly disappeared into the night.
