Since we’re never actually gonna be shown explicit sex scenes or have it heavily implied like in Palace of Bardo over here, we can only speculate. I still wonder if Ji Ning raped Bai Qingyan after he captured him, and if they did it after Qingyan lost his memories. What came to mind in this most recent chapter was when Qingyan asked if Ji Ning felt his heart in pain when he saw his whip marks. That made me think that they must’ve had sex after Qingyan lost his memory, or Ji Ning just saw his bare back but didn’t touch him (which I don’t think is very probable. In a context that Qingyan shows his bare back, especially at that historical point of time, it’s a very intimate thing to do — and with Ning’s temperament, I personally think they must have done it after Qingyan lost his memories. Now if Ji Ning raped him after the capture, before he got amnesia, I’m still not sure).
