[ the blow doesn't take him by surprise, not really. he's known jiang cheng since they were children, which means he's come to know the limits of his tolerance and his reactions when he's finally had enough. even though he feels heat blossom across the arch of his cheek, the sharp edge of jiang cheng's voice accompanying it -- he knows that he hasn't quite hit the other man's hard limit. it's why it doesn't upset him, being struck by jiang cheng's hand. the bite of zidian is a little chilling, a little souring, but the look on his shidi's face sends shivers down his spine the same as the slap.
one hand rises, pressing to the red stain blooming across his face, feeding into the lingering sting and ache. his entire body quivers in place, expression unreadable for a moment -- is he hurt? is he angry? -- it's not as though he enjoys being struck. right? jiang cheng has slapped him before, they've pulled one another's hair and pummeled one another with their boyish limbs in the heat of their ire. but now? now, after they've become so intimate, he finds that, uh... ]
Um.
[ his voice is a little stricken. ]
-- I didn't know you wanted to be so rough with me, Jiang Cheng.
