Chapter 71 – Will You Dare to Do It Again?
As the Spring Festival approached, Xiao Fang felt none of its warmth or excitement, only a bone-deep chill, because he was a man in his twenties about to get his butt spanked!
Fei Xiangnan sat on the sofa, patted his thigh, and said sinisterly, “Are you going to lie down on your own, or should I carry you?”
Xiao Fang pouted aggrievedly, his eyes pleading for mercy. “I won’t do it again. Can we skip it this time?”
Fei Xiangnan snorted coldly, the last shred of trust for Xiao Fang gone from his eyes. “That’s what you said last time you got caught in the rain. Did you keep your word?” He had too many prior offenses. President Fei was done indulging him time and again. It was better to teach him a harsh lesson once so he wouldn’t dare repeat the mistake.
Xiao Fang struggled, unwilling to give in. “Spanking is too humiliating! Can we change the punishment? Can you just hit my palm?” He held out his fair, tender palm, which trembled in the air with a faint pink hue, but President Fei remained unmoved and issued a warning. “Are you coming over or not?”
Xiao Fang’s legs instinctively went weak. He knew deep down that this spanking was unavoidable, but he, sob sob, just couldn’t take it, okay?
He’d heard that partners were supposed to soften when they heard you act submissive. Was he doing something wrong? Should he use a softer nickname? What should he call him? Bro? Big Brother? Or… Uncle? No, President Fei would definitely fly into a rage!
As Fei Xiangnan’s expression grew more impatient, Xiao Fang couldn’t worry about anything else and blurted out, “Hubby, I was wrong.”
His voice had to be incredibly soft, and his eyes had to be teary and sparkling. The anger Fei Xiangnan had just built up nearly lost its foundation. An impulse surged from his mind through his entire body. When Xiao Fang wasn’t being pretentious, he was more bewitching than anyone. But this time, Fei Xiangnan had steeled his resolve. Even if he was genuinely seduced, the spanking would come first before any other lessons.
Old Rogue Fei was just that good at taking advantage of a situation!
“This is for your own good. It’ll save you from a harsher punishment later. Come here!” Fei Xiangnan made a move to stand up, and Xiao Fang instinctively turned to flee. If being soft didn’t work, he’d try being tough! But Xiao Bunny hadn’t even made it half a meter before he was yanked back.
“Aaaaaah! You’re a bad guy!” Xiao Fang struggled to break free from Fei Xiangnan’s grip, but it was all futile in the eyes of the determined President Fei. He first lifted Xiao Fang into his arms, then flipped him over, presenting his butt directly to President Fei’s demonic clutches.
To leave Xiao Fang a final shred of dignity, President Fei didn’t pull down his pants. A heavy slap landed with a crisp sound, and Xiao Fang cried out in pain. This wasn’t an act to gain sympathy; the slap was just that solid. Although he felt the body in his arms tremble, President Fei didn’t stop. If he didn’t teach him a lesson this time, he had no idea where he’d have to go to collect Xiao Fang’s corpse after his next irrational act. So, enduring the ache in his heart, President Fei struck again with the same force.
“Ngh!” Now that he was actually being hit, Xiao Fang stopped even pretending to cry. He dropped the act and started being stubborn at the worst possible moment, holding back his tears with all his might. He was in pain, utterly humiliated, and burning with shame.
“Will you dare to do it again?” Fei Xiangnan asked after each slap.
“N-No, I won’t,” Xiao Fang said in a tiny voice. It was nothing else—this kind of play was just too embarrassing!
President Fei’s brows shot up, and another slap landed. “Louder!” The thought that the battle scene he’d watched several times actually featured Xiao Fang himself made Fei Xiangnan’s anger flare. He didn’t lessen the force of his slaps. If he couldn’t even discipline him for this, he’d probably try to ascend to the heavens next!
By now, Xiao Fang’s butt was almost numb from the beating. He was truly scared and didn’t want this to continue for a second longer. Swallowing his shame, he raised his voice. “I won’t! I’ll never dare to do it again.”
President Fei’s face was cold. “And what if you do it again?”
Xiao Fang wanted to rub his aching butt, but President Fei held him down so tightly he couldn’t move. To escape sooner, Xiao Fang finally let go of his last shred of damned pride.
“You can keep hitting me.”
Smack! “Take off your pants and hit me!” Another solid slap landed, but the force was much lighter than before. Xiao Fang knew Fei Xiangnan was about to let him off. He immediately softened. “Ngh… take… take off my pants and hit me!”
Only then did Fei Xiangnan stop, looking at Xiao Fang with a complicated expression. The next second, he started pulling down his pants.
Xiao Fang was horrified. “Didn’t we say if I do it again? I haven’t done it again yet!” He desperately clutched his waistband.
“Don’t move. Let me see how bad it is. I’m not going to hit you anymore.” President Fei’s anger had subsided, and a note of heartache crept into his voice. This whiplash of punishment and reward made Xiao Fang want to break down and sob. It was like jumping off a cliff, expecting to be smashed to a pulp, only to land in a soft, sweet cloud of cotton candy. A wave of grievance washed over him. The bewildered Xiao Fang could only focus on one thing: his partner had hit him, and it had hurt a lot. He completely forgot that this was all his own fault.
“Let go of me! I’ll go look in the bathroom myself!” You bad guy! Xiao Fang silently cursed in his heart.
President Fei completely ignored Xiao Fang’s struggles, because he was now desperate to see the damage. The difference between a regular gym-goer and a homebody was starkly apparent in that moment. Before Xiao Fang could resist for even a second and a half, his pants, along with his underwear, were pulled down. He was truly a weakling.
Weakling Xiao Fang was now online, minus his underwear.
Fei Xiangnan looked over. The fair skin of his butt was already a sheet of red. Fortunately, Fei Xiangnan hadn’t used his full strength, so at least there was no bruising. Having come prepared, Fei Xiangnan took a tube of ointment from his pocket. It was imported from abroad and was especially effective on minor injuries. Xiao Fang suddenly felt a cool sensation on his butt and couldn’t help but shiver.
Fei Xiangnan paused. “Does it hurt?”
Xiao Fang’s nose tingled, but he remained tsundere and turned his head away, unwilling to speak!
Fei Xiangnan knew Xiao Fang was about to throw a tantrum, but he had no regrets. The great President Fei, who had never waited on anyone before, carefully applied the medicine for his lover and then pulled his pants back up.
“If I don’t spank you now, you’ll never learn. Even if being a third gender is special, there’s no one who’d go fall off a horse a few months into their pregnancy.” After the whip and the candy, President Fei moved on to a lecture. Xiao Fang didn’t answer. He knew in his heart that he was wrong, but he was still angry that Fei Xiangnan had spanked him. The pain was secondary; the humiliation was the key issue.
“I don’t regret hitting you. If you dare do it again, I’ll only hit you harder. In my opinion, to stop you from courting disaster, I have to take some practical measures. Nothing else will work.”
Xiao Fang turned his head away, his eyes red, and mumbled, “You still shouldn’t have hit me there. It’s so… so embarrassing!” Having lost face, Xiao Fang couldn’t help but pout, tears threatening to breach his defenses.
“This way, you’ll remember it and won’t do it again. You were asking for a lesson! A small injury like a smack on the palm isn’t as thrilling as you jumping off a horse while pregnant, is it?” Fei Xiangnan said sinisterly, hitting a sore spot. Xiao Fang immediately shrank into a ball like a quail, not daring to make a sound. It was true, that was how it was.
Seeing Xiao Fang fall silent, Fei Xiangnan lifted him up again, letting him rest on his lap with his butt suspended in the air. It would be much more comfortable that way.
“Feeling wronged?” Fei Xiangnan’s deep, magnetic voice asked from just below Xiao Fang’s ear.
Xiao Fang stubbornly refused to look at him but still gave an honest “mhm.”
Just as he thought he might get a heartfelt apology, Fei Xiangnan started squishing his face. “You have the nerve to feel wronged?! Did I not tell you not to film scenes like that? You were pregnant and still trying to be a hero. Tell me! Will you dare to do it again?” The affectionate President Fei’s expression changed in an instant.
“Ngh, n-no, I won’t,” the cowardly Xiao Fang mumbled indistinctly under Fei Xiangnan’s assault. His reddened eyes were incredibly moving. President Fei, who had just managed to harden his heart, couldn’t stop himself from pulling his little cutie into a tight hug. He couldn’t bring himself to be so cruel to this person again.
“Fang, you’re not alone anymore. You have me, and you have Da Bao. So you have to cherish yourself even more, right? You have a responsibility to this family, right?”
Xiao Fang knew he was wrong and finally stopped fussing. The spanking was over. What if he kept acting up and President Fei changed his mind and gave him another round? A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him. Moved by Fei Xiangnan’s words, Xiao Fang aggrievedly admitted his mistake. “Right…”
“And when you do something wrong, you should admit it, shouldn’t you?” Fei Xiangnan coaxed him step by step.
Xiao Bunny nodded meekly. “Xiangnan, I was wrong. I won’t do things like that anymore. I’ll definitely act within my limits.”
“That’s not what you were calling me just now. Do you think you can do whatever you want now that the spanking’s over?” Fei Xiangnan’s topic of conversation gradually became improper.
Xiao Fang’s mind went blank for a moment. What had he said just now?
Just ten minutes ago, he had, with a blushing face, said five words.
“You… you’re going too far! I won’t say it!” Xiao Fang’s face turned crimson once more.
President Fei immediately frowned. “Not saying it means you’re not repentant enough. Never mind next time, I’ll just take your pants off right now.”
“Aaaaaah!” Xiao Fang shrieked like a terrified groundhog. The timid and cowardly Xiao Fang immediately became a sycophant. “Hubby, I was wrong.”
This was the feeling! Being called that sent a thrill of pleasure through Fei Xiangnan. The feeling of his wife calling him “hubby” was just fantastic! Especially seeing Xiao Fang’s blushing face as he uttered the title, Fei Xiangnan couldn’t help but want to kiss him. He was just so incredibly cute!
And so, that night, the justified President Fei used his tyrannical power to force Xiao Fang to call him “hubby” a full five times. The sixth attempt was thwarted when Xiao Bunny blew his top. Still, President Fei had gotten his fill of the thrill. By the end of the night, all his anger had dissipated. And Xiao Fang, having received a spanking, never dared to be so reckless again. Because getting spanked and all that… was just too terrifying!!! He never wanted to go through that a second time!
***
A week before the Spring Festival, Xiao Fang was officially discharged from the hospital. The Thorn-Breaker Company was very humane and didn’t book too many activities for its artists during the New Year period. According to Wen An’an, Wen Qianshi had pushed all events to after the festival, allowing the company’s only three artists to have a proper New Year. Xiao Fang was growing more and more satisfied with his boss and planned to visit his home during the festival to express his gratitude.
When Xiao Fang returned home, Xiao Ma brought Nuomici back. The family of four resumed their daily life. Xiao Fang had been worried that Nuomici wouldn’t get used to Da Bao’s presence and had even prepared to keep the two little ones separate. After all, kittens grow quickly, and Nuomici was now almost the size of a normal adult cat, his snowy white body plump and still as cute as when he was a kitten.
However, on the very first day, Nuomici put Xiao Fang’s worries to rest. On the contrary, Nuomici adored his little brother. Perhaps it was because Da Bao carried Xiao Fang’s scent, or maybe kittens just naturally have a fondness for newborn babies. The two brothers got along exceptionally well. Xiao Fang would often see Nuomici run into Da Bao’s cradle and act as a pillow for him. The two of them, one human and one cat, could sleep together for an entire afternoon. He had also heard that close contact with animals could boost a child’s immunity, so Xiao Fang was completely at ease, happily letting Nuomici help him take care of the baby.
Just as the family of four was preparing for a peaceful Spring Festival, a small accident occurred.
