Finally he curls up in blissful lassitude.

"Sex," he announces, "is great," and attempts to burrow into Jing Yi's shoulder.

"I was about to say 'I'm glad I convinced you,' but I'm not sure you needed that much convincing."

"I'm pretty sure you're the one who needed all the convincing."

"I didn't need convincing of the goodness of sex, I needed convincing of the goodness of having it with people who threw themselves into my bed."

"What? That's the best kind of sex to have."

"--I think you might need to account for the narrowness of your experiences."

"No one has ever thrown themself onto my bed and demanded sex."

"...Give me a couple of days and I can see if I can fix that."

"Excellent. Repeat business."

"Gotta maintain the ties between Shanghai and Xi'An."

"Well, you know, if you wanted to maintain the ties--"

"Still not getting tied up!"

"Can't believe I've been deprived of what is, like, the most common kink."

"The Scholomance is cruel to us all."

"Caaaaaan I hurt you?"

"Mmmmaybe a little."

"Caaaan I pin you down and call you a good boy or a slut?"

Okay, so an unexpected benefit of being with frosh is he is ninety percent sure that if it came down to it, he could throw him across the room. Makes being pinned so much less of a bad idea.

... And he definitely appreciates the idea of being called a slut more than he should. "You certainly can."

Well then Nie Huaisang thinks it is time for round two where he tries some of the excellent ideas he got from porn.

So on the one hand porn is often stupid, in Jing Yi's opinion, but Now Huaisang has a talent for making it not quite as stupid as it could be.

(He gets such a reaction from calling Jing Yi a slut.)

Sadly, Nie Huaisang is probably less persuasive on the subject of whether it is very sexy to give him footrubs.

Luckily for him, even if he is not that persuasive, Jing Yi is feeling indulgent.

Have you considered: this is very sexy to Nie Huaisang, especially if he gets to call Jing Yi a good boy while he's doing it.

Yeah, no, that's more of a him thing than a Jing Yi thing, but whatever. He's cute enough to make it worthwhile.

This is a horrifying lack of affective empathy and Nie Huaisang will not stand for it.
