E-Scum Gong Chapter 69

Chapter 69
“Gu Jinzhi, get up and have breakfast,” came the familiar sound of knocking at the door, followed by Gu Qi’s voice.
“Okay, got it, ge,” Gu Jinzhi replied in a muffled voice, as if he was under the covers, though he seemed to be awake.
Gu Qi raised an eyebrow and went downstairs.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinzhi was sweating as he awkwardly tried to apply medicine to himself in a rather uncomfortable position.
His impatience made him consider just throwing the medication away. Ater all, the injury was minor — merely some redness.
Yesterday, Ah Xu had meticulously treated him, and the slight swelling had been hardly noticeable. The pain was nothing compared to a simple fall. Ah Xu had left after tidying up both him and the room.
However, Gu Jinzhi felt a surge of happiness remembering how Ah Xu had repeatedly and earnestly advised him before leaving. With a flushed face, he continued to struggle with the medication before lazily heading to the bathroom to wash up.
Aside from some love bites and faint scratches on his lower back, there were no other marks on him. Ah Xu was so gentle, even controlling his kisses to avoid leaving any marks. This considerate treatment made even the usually rough-and-tumble Gu Jinzhi frequently reminisce with a smile.
On the other hand... he had not only bitten his boyfriend’s shoulder but had also discovered bloody scratch marks on Ah Xu’s back afterward...
Gu Jinzhi felt so embarrassed and guilty, his face turning even redder. Finally, he had found someone in this world who loved and accepted him completely.
As Gu Jinzhi descended the stairs, his posture was slightly awkward due to the lingering soreness. However, he managed to control it well enough for a workday. After all, his vanity wouldn’t allow him to let the company staff see him in discomfort.
Gu Qi, seeing his younger brother’s blissful expression and awkward gait, paused, set down his chopsticks, and pondered for a moment.
“Eating something so greasy so early in the morning...” Gu Jinzhi complained, resting his chin on his hand and poking at his plate with his chopsticks, sighing dramatically.
Gu Qi couldn't stand his annoying younger brother’s antics any longer. In the past, this kid could eat a whole roast chicken early in the morning. Who was he trying to impress?
But then he remembered that Gu Jinzhi was actually... Despite his reluctance, Gu Qi called for the housekeeper in a deep voice.
“Auntie, please make some porridge.”
“Okay.”
Forget it, it was even now. Otherwise, he'd feel guilty because the Lin kid was too young.
Gu Jinzhi reached out to grab some food with his chopsticks, only to have his hand sharply slapped away by his older brother.
“What are you doing, ge? You actually hit me?” Gu Jinzhi rubbed his hand, glaring at Gu Qi with rising anger.
“Aren’t you supposed to avoid greasy food? Can your body handle it?” Gu Qi replied calmly.
“My boyfriend never treats me like this. He never lets me suffer a bit. How dare you hit your own younger brother...” Gu Jinzhi mumbled and huffed. But realizing he was in the wrong, he withdrew his hand, not daring to reach for the food any longer.
After all, Ah Xu had told him to eat light for a couple of days, so he might as well follow that advice.
Glancing at his indifferent older brother, Gu Jinzhi felt a pang of unfairness. He was Ah Xu’s precious treasure, and if Ah Xu knew he was still being wronged by his older brother, he would definitely feel sorry for him.
“Enough, Gu Jinzhi. Even if you have tough hide and a tough personality, it seems your face is just as thick. Your boyfriend pampers you, but your ge won’t,” Gu Qi said, unable to tolerate seeing his younger brother’s sulking any longer. Had this guy gotten too full of himself?
How could someone in their twenties become so disoriented after just one night with his partner? Had he forgotten what kind of person he was?
“Oh...” Gu Jinzhi was momentarily stunned by his older brother’s words and didn’t rush to retort. He rubbed his head and noticed that the redness on his hand had faded almost immediately, with no lingering sensation.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly. Ah Xu didn’t think of him as rough or insensitive. He cherished him deeply. Sometimes, Gu Jinzhi almost forgot how loved he was. Of course, without his boyfriend around, it was best to be normal…
“Take a day off tomorrow,” Gu Qi suggested, still concerned for his younger brother. He couldn't imagine the pain of a man being... you know, so he wouldn't mind if Gu Jinzhi wanted to take two days off.
“No need. Ah Xu has class tomorrow anyway. I’ll be bored sitting at home alone if I take a day off,” Gu Jinzhi declined nonchalantly. He had work piled up that needed his attention.
Gu Qi was speechless. So his younger brother was only thinking of going out and having fun whenever he took a day off. It seemed like he really didn't need it. His body was fine, and having his younger brother occupied was likely beneficial for both parties.
After finishing his work, Gu Jinzhi lounged in his chair and began idly browsing forums, switching to a burner account to avoid embarrassment.
Having recently started eating meat (tn: euphemism for papapa), Gu Jinzhi felt he should understand more about such matters. He also had some doubts regarding his and Ah Xu’s experiences in this area.
Not knowing whom to ask, he decided to see if there were any answers on the forum.
He stumbled upon a thread with a keyword in the title: “v*rg*n.” It seemed relevant.
Excited, Gu Jinzhi clicked on it immediately.
The original post was asking whether v*rg*ns typically experience premature e*aculation. The user’s partner seemed to have this issue.
The replies were from other individuals discussing their experiences in similar situations.
“Exactly! And the technique isn’t great either. It’s uncomfortable with v*rg*ns. Other than being clean, there's nothing good about them.”
“I prefer someone with experience. They know how to adjust their pace and make it feel really good.”
“My partner was a v*rg*n when we first started dating. The first time he entered, he came right away... It was so painful.”
Upon reading these comments, Gu Jinzhi’s eyes lit up. It turned out that he was not alone, though he had a different perspective. He preferred his clean and innocent Ah Xu. After all, first loves were the best.
“I also experienced premature ej*culation the first time, and I thought it was just my problem. It seems like this is common, which reassures me. Is this a bad thing? How can I improve? Are there any medications?” he asked, his tone unusually soft and eager for advice.
Because he really was a bit too quick, completely unable to control himself, feeling so good that his mind went blank. For almost every one time Ah Xu had, he would need three or four... By the end, he was starting to feel a bit embarrassed. Could this be a sign of poor health? Was he just too weak? Gu Jinzhi was quite anxious, worried that he hadn’t fully satisfied Ah Xu.
“Of course it’s a bad thing. If a 1 is too quick, it can be very disappointing. Doesn’t your little 0 have any complaints about you?”
“Huh?” Gu Jinzhi scratched his head, realizing something was off. Were they talking about 1s? But he wasn’t...
“I’m... I’m a 0... My boyfriend and I are both each other’s first,” Gu Jinzhi said hesitantly, feeling unsure if he was missing something.
“???”
“It's both your first time and it still feels good? Doesn’t it hurt? Is your boyfriend that skilled?”
Gu Jinzhi was confused. “But it feels really good...” It felt like the right spots were hit every time. Even during for*pl*y, he ended up... emmm... if it happened a bit faster, it was even better. He was so overwhelmed with pleasure that he couldn’t control his tears, which scared him. That was why he felt like he was weak...
So, it ended with Gu Jinzhi being completely unable to continue due to exhaustion.
“Unbelievable… Are you just showing off? All I can say is I hope your boyfriend isn't a v*rg*n. V*rg*ns are terrible at this.” There were tons of 0s online — all were old foxes playing at being innocent. They did not expect Gu Jinzhi to genuinely worry about his health.
This comment was baseless. Gu Jinzhi didn’t care much, considering he had been chasing Ah Xu since high school.
So, did he have a problem or not?
Gu Jinzhi spent the entire afternoon brooding over his worries.
Meanwhile, Lin Xu was attending a discussion session in a small classroom at the college. Apart from him, the room was filled with students from the dean's group. Initially, the senior students were puzzled about why a freshman was included. However, Lin Xu ended up speaking the most during the session.
Clearly, the dean was very satisfied with him and had already mentioned hoping that Lin Xu would continue to study under him for his master’s and doctoral programs.
After the discussion, the dean took Lin Xu aside to speak with him.
“Xiao Xu, there will be a field experiment for the junior year students in a while. You can join them on the weekends if you like.” The dean believed Lin Xu’s skills were good enough for the field experiment. Besides, laboratory conditions were not always perfect.
“Sure, I’d like that,” Lin Xu nodded in agreement.
After the dean left, only a few senior students remained. They now had a good impression of Lin Xu, given his excellent academic performance and good looks. Who wouldn’t like him?
“We’re having dinner tonight. Would you like to join us, junior? You can’t refuse without a special reason,” they invited Lin Xu, already considering him one of their own.
Lin Xu smiled and shook his head, providing a special reason, “I need to video chat with my boyfriend every night. I can’t let him down.” Besides, they had just been intimate, and Zhizhi was quite clingy.
Lin Xu had never been secretive about his sexual orientation. He figured that people would eventually find out and question him, so he always straightforwardly referred to his partner as his boyfriend when talking to acquaintances.
Moreover, he enjoyed hearing Zhizhi ramble on and on. He planned to move out and live with him after finishing his freshman year. Though it might be a bit inconvenient, he was more than willing to do it.
“Oh~” Everyone teased him, then began to joke about how they, the older ones, were still single dogs, while their junior had his life planned out well, balancing both love and academics.
Given such a special reason, they couldn’t really force him.
It was surprising, though, that the seemingly aloof junior was actually a lovesick puppy. Could he really not go a day without video chatting?
The next day, Lin Xu had already taken two cold showers, each lasting half an hour. Every time he emerged from the bathroom, he was enveloped in a chill.
Occasionally, he would also gaze at his fingers and then his ears would turn red.
When Lin Xu came out of the bathroom again, his roommates couldn’t resist teasing him, “Hey, Xu-ge, what’s up with you? Didn’t you just start seeing someone? You’re standing calm when you’re with him, but now you’re taking cold showers alone? Seems like you still have some fire left.”
“Stop joking around.” Lin Xu wasn’t comfortable discussing his intimate life with Zhizhi. He felt shy and also thought it was a bit disrespectful. He didn’t want people to link his relationship with Gu Jinzhi to intimate matters, even though most guys were pretty casual about it.
After drying his hair, Lin Xu sat down to study. He stayed seated instead of lounging around, knowing that Zhizhi would be video chatting with him soon.
It was impossible not to feel the impact. Lin Xu wasn’t as composed as he appeared. It was his first time being intimate with someone he truly cared about.
Admittedly, he sometimes replayed those moments in his mind, especially the vivid impressions of Gu Jinzhi’s body. Only when he relieved himself did he allow himself to be rough, which made him feel both awkward and relieved afterward. He wondered why he should feel embarrassed about desiring Zhizhi.
Soon, Gu Jinzhi called Lin Xu on video. After waiting eagerly, Lin Xu quickly put on his headphones and answered the call.
“Ah Xu, just focus on your studies. You can treat my voice as background noise,” Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, lying under the covers after his bath.
This was their usual routine, but Lin Xu found himself unable to ignore him completely.
“I took my medicine properly today, but I think I might not need it anymore. It feels completely healed,” Gu Jinzhi murmured. The bending over every day still felt quite awkward.
“No, you need to be more diligent,” Lin Xu replied sternly. This was an important matter.
It wasn’t naturally designed for that purpose, so it really needed time to adjust.
“Oh... then come help me,” Gu Jinzhi said with half his face buried in the covers.
After that day, they seemed to have become more relaxed with each other. Gu Jinzhi also felt like he was less manly, and couldn't get hard, ugh.
Lin Xu estimated the dormitory closing time and thought it might be okay to tell the supervisor. “Alright, I’ll come over tomorrow. Make sure you get up early, Zhizhi.” He planned to return before his early class, giving him a bit more flexibility in the evening.
“I was just joking! I’ll take care of it properly.” Gu Jinzhi rolled over. How could he be unreasonable?
“By the way, Ah Xu, I... might have premature ej*c*lation. Did you notice?” Gu Jinzhi hesitated before bringing up the topic.
Lin Xu couldn’t help but cough a couple of times, his face turning a bit red.
“Hmm?” Lin Xu lowered his gaze, feeling embarrassed about the topic.
Gu Jinzhi was serious and concerned about the issue. He felt that if things continued this way, he might end up disappointing Lin Xu.
“Should I see a doctor, Ah Xu? It feels a bit serious.” Gu Jinzhi had previously remarked that Ah Xu seemed happier than him, having experiencing joy at eighteen while he only found it at twenty-four. Now he realized he was the only one truly happy.
“No need,” Lin Xu replied curtly, unsure how to explain.
“But I really do finish too quickly...” Gu Jinzhi sighed. Even though he enjoyed it, he felt this was a problem.
Since they couldn't talk about such matters casually, Lin Xu typed a few words. “It will get better when your threshold is higher in the future.”
Gu Jinzhi looked up the term “threshold” on Baidu and was still a bit confused, finding it somewhat technical.
Lin Xu, feeling his ears grow warm, typed an explanation. “At the beginning, you might be easily stimulated and finish faster, but after getting used to it, you can accept more intense stimulation.” What was he even replying?
To give Zhizhi the best experience, Lin Xu had spent a long time finding the right spot at the beginning to ensure Zhizhi's pleasure while avoiding any discomfort. He hadn’t anticipated such concerns arising.
“More intense...” Gu Jinzhi blushed and thought for a moment. Feeling it wouldn't work, he thought of something else again.
“But, Ah Xu, isn't it intense for you?” he asked innocently, wondering why Lin Xu didn’t seem to struggle like he did.
“I...” Lin Xu was stumped by the question.
It seemed having one such clueless person was enough…
“So, I’m not sick, right?” Gu Jinzhi was happy again.
“Then, can you... help me every weekend? Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing.” Gu Jinzhi wanted to enjoy himself without hesitation, but he didn't say it out loud. Actually, Gu Jinzhi was doubtful about whether he could improve. After all, seeing his boyfriend’s face alone stimulated him. To be honest, he had trouble sleeping alone lately.
“Hmm…” Lin Xu thought that such a frequency should be healthy. He trembled slightly as he tried to consider the matter with the utmost seriousness.
