I know some Priest's novels have parallels with each other but Dou Xun looks like the son of Cheng Qian and Yan Zhengming, not kidding.

I have dreamed about Dou Xun and Xu Xilin. Can you imagine them being in intimacy and exploring their bodies and give each other pleasures, and they are still autodidact.
Xu Xilin when he can catch his breath always teases Dou Xun: "have you learned new techniques thanks your dull book of biology? What have you learned uh? Congratulations sometimes studying is useful"
Ans Dou Xun replies with a stoic face like he did nothing wrong that is so funny. "Next time will be better, I will study more".
Xu Xilin can't help to laugh out of tendenderness: "my genius wife, so full of ideas. I submit to your knowledge".
Dou Xun can't help but smile a little. Who ever knew that science can be so sexy.
First time that they don't use condom, Dou Xun gets overwhelmed by the rhythm and loses control and ejaculates inside Xu Xilin.
Xu Xilin all sweaty gives him a pat on the back: "Reckless! Why have you cum inside? We have already a feathered son and no money! Aah luckily I can't get pregnant, thanks to biology again" and laughs of it.
Dou Xun just gets along with it with a poker face: "No you can't. But now my liquids are rearranging your intestine, you can't fecundate but maybe my spermatozoids will always stay there and make your intestine like an acquarius"
Xu Xilin makes a very worried and weird face, like what, how, what is this body horror? Finally after reaching out the end of his orgasm dizziness, he sees right through Dou Xun's poker face and then bursts out laughing for the strangeness of his love. He thought he was used to it by now, but Dou Xun shocks him every day. Every day is a surprise in this ordinary life.
"You are such a scientific freak, how can I trust you, uh? From now on never read those dangerous books again, okay? Just give me the lead, I'll improvise something."
Dou Xun just watches him with a little condescending smile. Xu Xilin will never top Dou Xun in any subjects and they both know this but they pretend the opposite out of silly fun and love (Dou Xun have learned this kind of language of love thanks to cheap romance magazines, because before he was really grumpy and self-centered 🤣)
