Chapter 103 – Talk about engagement
 
This marriage contract is too ridiculous. An Xumo’s first concern is Zhou Jinchen’s safety.
 
My brother already knew Yin Yuan is planning something bad, so why didn’t he just refuse?
 
Zhou Jinchen noticed An Xumo’s expression. He looked sideways at the boy and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
 
An Xumo hesitantly said, “……Can you refuse this matter?”
 
In fact, when he said this sentence, he already realized that it was wrong.
 
If it can be directly refused, from the beginning, my brother wouldn’t say “I haven’t been able to make a statement yet”.
 
Sure enough, Zhou Jinchen and Yin Hanxing both explained.
 
The Yin family has a great influence in the entertainment industry, not only do they hold a large share of Jin Dian but they also hold an important position within the Northern Circle of the Film and Television Industry. The Northern Circle is full of big names and the phenomenon of group gathering is particularly obvious. Even the A-list artists may not be able to get on this big boat. Compared to Zhou Jinchen, a rising star that is fighting alone, the Yin family is clearly more profound which is why Yin Yuan can freely play in the circle with impunity.
 
The Zhou family’s power is concentrated in Jiangnan while the Yin family has always been rooted in B City, and the horse farm that Yin Hanxing was in before is also a Yin family asset. The marriage between the two families wouldn’t be bad, that’s why Yin Hanxing said that Yin Yuan felt that the Zhou family’s attitude would not be a problem.
 
Zhou Jinchen’s parents were married for business. After they got married, they played their own roles. They had different dreams, in the same bed they seem to get along with each other and have no emotional foundation. And after Zhou Jinchen’s debut, he didn’t go home for several years. The only thing that has moved the Zhou family is Old Zhou. The Zhou Yunlin couple didn’t care at all but what Old Zhou and Zhou Jinchen mentioned is all about the analysis of interests after the marriage.
 
If it had been a year ahead, Zhou Jinchen wouldn’t feel anything wrong. He also believes in the interests first, but now it’s different, he has a more precious treasure.
 
Zhou Jinchen would hesitate to take a stand and would not consider the benefits of the marriage. He has his heart set on another so it’s impossible for him to be promised to another. Not to mention the presence of Yin Yuan who has evil intentions, but Zhou Jinchen needs help to get out of the Zhou family, and Yin Yuan is one of the directors of Jin Dian, so it’s not a good idea to rip his face off.¹to shed all pretensePlus—
 
“Xiao Mo’s contract was signed for ten years,” Zhou Jinchen said. “We can’t wait to waste so much time, this contract should be changed.”
 
With An Xumo’s recent momentum, his popularity has been among the first line traffic. In front of interests, the company has taken him as a key target, it’s impossible to give in easily.
 
The topic suddenly turned to him, An Xumo floundered for a moment, and then he remembered the money that Tang Tang had said that his brother paid for him.
 
The contract was something he hadn’t even considered himself.
 
“To put it simply, this is the reason why Mr. Zhou didn’t reject the marriage contract outright.” Yin Hanxing summarized, then said, “As for me, I came for my second brother.”
 
Apparently, Yin Hanyue is not as sickly and weak as he appears to be.
 
Yin Hanxing came to discuss the cooperation with Zhou Jinchen. They knew each other earlier than An Xumo imagined, the two sides had their own needs so they would sit together. After explaining to An Xumo, the two began to talk about business. The boy didn’t listen for a while; he understood why Yin Hanxing wanted to leave the scene before.
 
Even though he couldn’t understand the exact operation, An Xumo could understand the secrecy and complexity involved.
 
He wasn’t sure why his brother would let him stay here or why Yin Hanxing would agree to stay, but the talk did last the whole night by the three people.
 
It was late at night when Yin Hanxing left. An Xumo who had been hit by the marriage contract hadn’t rested for nearly two days. Zhou Jinchen saw the boy’s tiredness and sent him straight back to the bedroom. He went to get the quilt. An Xumo was already asleep and forgot to ask about the backyard corridor.
 
Zhou Jinchen stood by the bed and looked down. The tired boy was a little restless in his sleep and his eyebrows were still faintly wrinkled. Zhou Jinchen raised his hand over and gently pressed his fingertips on his forehead, waiting for the other party’s brow to gradually unfold before moving his fingers down.
 
The long and slender fingers follow the tip of his nose and hover above the slightly parted lips. The pale pink lips can be imagined to be soft when touched just by looking at them, and deep in the memory, it really preserves the tender and soft touch when tasting. The original experience not only makes people’s hearts full but it became an itchy little hook, poking at the bottom of his heart, encouraging people to try again. 
 
The night was silent, the wind is cool and the leaves fell but inside the room, it’s full of spring.
 
—-
 
Early the next morning, An Xumo flew to Huangcheng TV to participate in a variety show recording. The end of the year is approaching and the year-end inventory in the entertainment industry is coming. Endless party ceremonies are emerging one after another. When he really has time to meet with Zhou Jinchen, more than half of An Xumo’s winter vacation has passed.
 
The two had just finished attending the Weibo Night celebration and returned to the company in S City to rest. Because he went to school in B City, An Xumo’s single dormitory has been taken back. He originally wanted to find a hotel nearby but he haven’t even move when he was directly led away by Zhou Jinchen.
 
This was the first time An Xumo came to his brother’s penthouse. The structure of the villa was the same as his previous visit to Yin Yuan’s new residence but the interior decoration was completely different. The two rested overnight at the villa and early the next morning, they went together to attend the company’s annual meeting.
 
With makeup and styling, the annual meeting officially began in the afternoon before two o’clock. This is a rare opportunity for many familiar faces to get together. However²this last word was left as it is just like in the raw, probably a typo or something; it’s probably for the next line below.
 
For An Xumo, what attracted his attention was not the one big-name-first-rate artist after another, but a thin, pale and handsome young man.
 
The youth was only about twenty years old with a faint pallor on his face and a little blood on his lips so he did look physically ill. His features were so obvious and his face was three times smaller than Yin Hanxing. In addition, when facing Yin Yuan’s claim, without waiting for an introduction, An Xumo recognized his identity.
 
It was Yin Hanyue.
 
Yin Hanyue has never appeared at Jin Dian before and the meaning of his presence this time was self-explanatory. As soon as he appeared, the surrounding eyes fell on Zhou Jinchen.
 
Although taking into account the identity of Zhou Jinchen, the content of the marriage contract has not been widely spread but for the people in Jin Dian, as long as one is well-informed, this matter is no longer a secret.
 
Last night at the villa, his brother had already mentioned this matter so An Xumo was not too surprised. When Yin Hanyue walked towards the man in full view of everyone, Zhou Jinchen held his glass of wine but glanced at An Xumo first.
 
An Xumo looked at him for a moment, he lowered his head and went on with the pudding on his plate.
 
Not only Yin Hanyue, but Yin Yuan also followed him. The scene of the annual meeting was already very lively and with the several key figures gathered, the atmosphere became more and more heated. An Xumo finished his pudding and served a triangle-shaped cheesecake. It wasn’t until Tang Tang came over to remind him did he stop eating.
 
Yin Hanyue did not stay for the whole show, his body did not seem to last that long. After the most important part of the speech, Yin Han Yue, who was a little shaky, left the scene early, and Zhou Jinchen followed along, sending him out.
 
Before leaving, Zhou Jinchen glanced back at the person again. An Xumo waited for a while and also made an excuse to leave early as agreed last night.
 
The group photo and top-level (executives) speech had already ended, so leaving now would not be too conspicuous. An Xumo walked out of the company and just found a remote place to call his brother when a black car pulled up in front of him.
 
Yin Hanyue was in the passenger seat while Zhou Jinchen sat in the back row. The man opened the door and let An Xumo in. What An Xumo didn’t expect was that the person in the driver’s seat who was greeting him through the rearview mirror was actually Yin Hanxing.
 
“To avoid Yin Yuan tonight,” Zhou Jinchen explained, “I found him to be a cover.”
 
Yin Yuan had bought the villa next door to Zhou Jinchen and it was only when he was away yesterday that Zhou Jinchen took An Xumo back. But tonight, several people are present, although there will be Yin Hanyue and Zhou Jinchen together, there is no guarantee that Yin Yuan will not do anything.
 
The four left the company and drove all the way to another district before stopping at a villa complex.
 
They got out of the car and walked into the villa. The two Yin brothers walked in front. An Xumo curiously looked at Yin Hanyue’s back. Unexpectedly, the other party’s pace looked much stable than at the annual meeting.
 
Noticing An Xumo’s line of sight, Zhou Jinchen asked him, “What’s wrong?”
 
An Xumo took another look at Yin Hanyue before asking, “Is Mr. Yin’s health okay? Just now at the company, his face didn’t look too good.”
 
Zhou Jinchen frowned and paused for a moment before saying, “He’s fine.”
 
The four people walked into the living room. Yin Hanyue heard An Xumo’s words and gave a light smile. “I’m fine, thank you for your concern.”
 
Yin Hanyue’s voice was slightly hoarse but it sounded inexplicably comfortable. An Xumo froze for a moment only to feel that the other party’s previous sickly aura that could be detected through the crowd has visibly faded a lot this time.
 
“In order to show it to others,” Zhou Jinchen made a direct explanation and looked at the boy more, “But you, did you eat more just now?”
 
Being suddenly asked, An Xumo hurriedly shook his head, “……No.”
 
“You ate pudding, three pieces of cake, and a glass of sake.” Zhou Jinchen didn’t intend to expose it so easily. “Didn’t you say you don’t drink?”
 
“I just took a sip……” An Xumo originally thought that the man was dealing with Yin Yuan but he didn’t expect that he would keep an eye on him. “I didn’t touch much, really.”
 
Yin Hanyue sat opposite An Xumo, he smiled and didn’t say anything. It was only when Yin Hanxing who was carrying four cups came out that the topic was stopped.
 
“It’s been so long since I’ve been here, everything has expired. Let’s just make do with this.” Yin Hanxing coughed lightly, “Only plain boiled water.”
 
He divided the cups and sat next to Yin Hanyue.
 
“Well, isn’t it time to talk about business now?”
 
Sweeping his eyes over the two people sitting diagonally opposite each other, Yin Hanxing directly said, “Concerning the engagement ceremony between the two of you.”
 
•·················•·················•
 
The author has something to say:
 
Xiao Mo: It seems like I should be jealous
 
Xiao Mo: ……But the jealousy seems to be eaten away by my brother
 
Xiao Mo: I thought I was the one who should be jealous, but that doesn’t seem to be the case……
 
Brother: Turn on the all-around-no-dead-angle-corner-staring brother mode control.

Chapter 102 – The amount of information is still a lot
 
It was late at night when he arrived home. An Xumo reluctantly looked at the trip schedule along the way but still failed to restrain his sinking chest and constantly racing heartbeat. He hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. He went straight to Zhou Jinchen’s room as soon as he entered.
 
There was no light in the room and no one answered the door when he knocked. An Xumo froze for a moment and turned around to go to the study.
 
There was no familiar figure in the bedroom, study, living room, and every room. It wasn’t until the housekeeper came over that An Xumo finally remembered that there is an event tonight and that his brother would not come back.
 
The final exams were over and so were accompanying him to study every night.
 
An Xumo did not go back to his room but went alone into the study that he had been going to every night for these days. The stationery he left here yesterday is still on the table. There was a fountain pen given by Zhou Jinchen with ‘MO’ engraved in the body of the pen in a floral style, and it was very smooth to write. He looked at the pen for a long time then stretched out his hand, and covered the pen.
 
Can’t look at it anymore.
 
But brother still remains in my heart.
 
It was a long night and An Xumo spent most of the night alone in the study. The next morning, he had things to do and the driver had already said that he would pick him up at six o’clock, but as the hour hand moves slowly, An Xumo had been wide awake.
 
At almost four o’clock, An Xumo decided to go to his room and take a shower. The sky outside was so dark that no light could be seen. An Xumo walked towards his room but halfway through, he was attracted by a bright light not far away.
 
The housekeepers and security guards were all resting in the early hours of the night, and there was a faint guiding light in the courtyard but there was a faint light coming from the tall screen wall¹Spirit screen or screen wall is used to shield an entrance gate in traditional Chinese architecture. It can be positioned either on the outside or the inside of the gate they are protecting. Linkat the back of the courtyard.
 
……Why is there light?
 
An Xumo looked at the screen wall, he always thought that behind the screen wall is a solid wall. His brother didn’t show him around but the light is really turned on, not at all like an illusion.
 
If he is in a fully conscious state, An Xumo will not necessarily want to find out, but after the stimulation of the news of the engagement coupled with half a month of busy and sleepless nights, the boy didn’t even think carefully and walked towards the wall deep in the courtyard.
 
The surrounding area was so quiet that even the sound of footsteps could be heard. The screen wall and the wall are only one person wide apart. An Xumo looked back around the edge of the wall only to find that behind the wall was actually an open door, and the light was coming from behind that door which was reflected on the translucent screen wall and was noticed.
 
There’s actually a building behind the wall? An Xumo frowned. He had previously understood the structure of the courtyard; most of it in B City was square. An Xumo always thought that this mansion was in the shape of ‘口’ a one-entry mansion. After living here for so long, he has never touched the back but now, it seems that this courtyard should be two-entry similar to the shape of ‘日’.
 
Who is in the back? With only the two of them living in the house, the only answer left seemed likely the person he was waiting for tonight. An Xumo didn’t think much about it, he went straight around the screen wall and walked towards the back door of the two lights.
 
Outside the door is a long corridor with lanterns lit up in unison on both sides. An Xumo walked forward, the decoration here was obviously recently renovated but it was more quaint than the front yard.
 
There was a door at the end of the long corridor. An Xumo tried to push it open but found that the door was unlocked by fingerprints, just like the doors of the courtyard. He tried to place his finger on it and the recognition system gave a direct indication that the command was invalid.
 
The door and the screen wall are of the same material and the light that comes through can be seen faintly but it’s impossible to see exactly what it looks like. An Xumo tried to feel around a little bit but in the end, he couldn’t find a way to open the door.
 
The temperature was low in the early morning of late autumn, there was a cool breeze coming from the corridor, An Xumo was pricked by the cold breeze on the back of his neck. He felt uneasy in hindsight and turned his way back to the front yard the same way.
 
More than an hour later, the sun rose. After taking a shower and ate breakfast, the driver was already waiting at the door. Before leaving, it was as if the demons and gods were at work,²unexplained event crying out for a supernatural explanation; curious coincidenceAn Xumo went to the screen wall at the back of the courtyard. As a result, when he looked back, the door that showed light last night has disappeared.
 
The left-behind screen wall was a wall without any difference and there’s not even a trace that it could be opened.
 
An Xumo was stunned for a moment but the driver was waiting, he couldn’t think much about it, and left the courtyard.
 
After a busy day of activities and an additional interview at the end, An Xumo came back more than an hour later than expected. When he returned home, he ran into an unfamiliar car.
 
A somewhat familiar figure stepped down from the car. When he saw An Xumo who had just gotten out, the other party also froze for a moment.
 
“How come you’re here?”
 
Yin Hanxing asked what An Xumo wanted to say first. He took off his sunglasses and his peach blossom eyes were curious. “Isn’t this Mr. Zhou’s house?”
 
An Xumo looked at him warily and was about to ask when the housekeeper came out to welcome him.
 
The two entered the courtyard together and An Xumo finally saw a familiar figure. He had a stomach full of doubts to ask about the rumored engagement and the disappearing door behind the screen door. However, with Yin Hanxing present, these doubts could only be withdrawn for the time being.
 
They sat down in the living room and the housekeeper served tea. Yin Hanxing glanced at An Xumo and looked at Zhou Jinchen.
 
“Mr. Zhou, is junior brother also invited by you today?”
 
Zhou Jinchen was originally looking at An Xumo. The two hadn’t seen each other for a day but the dark color under the boy’s eyes was more obvious than when he was studying before. It was only when he heard Yin Hanxing’s voice did he turned his eyes.
 
“Xiao Mo is my younger brother, this is his home.”
 
Yin Hanxing raised a brow, “I’ve met all of the brothers of Third Young Master, when did senior brother……” 
He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped.
 
“……is that the one from Fourth Uncle Zhou’s family?”³in case you forgot: Zhou Yunshan [4th son of Zhou family, An Xumo’s nominal father]
 
Zhou Jinchen’s tone was slightly cold, “I didn’t invite Mr. Yin over to talk about Xiao Mo.”
 
Yin Hanxing raised his hands and consciously withdrew from the conversation.
 
An Xumo sat aside, his intuition told him that he should not be present at this conversation, but before he could open his mouth to leave, Zhou Jinchen looked over again.
 
“Xiao Mo, there’s something I want to tell you.”
 
“What?”
 
“Yin Yuan, the director of Jin Dian has proposed an engagement to me for his son.”
 
An Xumo subconsciously bit down the tip of his tongue.
 
He didn’t expect that the secret hidden in his heart would be revealed directly by his brother.
 
“I haven’t been able to make a statement yet.” Zhou Jinchen looked at him with a serious gaze. “But out of selfishness, I want you to know about it.”
 
Yin Hanxing from across the table looked at them thoughtfully. Rumors said that the Zhou family had kicked out that extra child but according to the current situation, these two seemed to be closer than ordinary brothers.
 
An Xumo was a bit overwhelmed. Zhou Jinchen reached out and covered his hand and said in a low voice, “I will discuss this matter with Mr. Yin, can you stay here?”
 
“I……” An Xumo didn’t want to know the ins and outs of this matter but he didn’t understand why his brother would say that.
 
Yin Hanxing also opened his mouth, “Third Young Master, are you sure you want to talk about this matter in front of a third person?”
 
Zhou Jinchen didn’t waver, “I’m sure.”
 
The two looked at each other for a moment; Yin Hanxing looked at An Xumo again, and finally agreed.
 
Yin Hanxing came over this time to talk about the engagement. Yin Yuan was indeed his uncle but to An Xumo’s surprise, Yin Hanxing did not stand on the same side as his uncle.
 
“My little uncle knows the character of your family’s Old Zhou. He had a good idea when he proposed the engagement. The Zhou family’s consent wasn’t a problem. The only variable lies in your attitude, that’s why he’s focused on you.”
 
When it comes to serious matters, Yin Hanxing’s attitude is much more solemn than usual.
 
“In addition to those actions against you, he also found out how you take care of your junior brother. That’s why he asked me to come over and find out the real relationship between you two.”
 
Only then did An Xumo react, so Yin Hanxing approached him not because of Lu Pinghui.
 
Zhou Jinchen frowned at Yin Hanxing who waved his hand, “Don’t worry. I didn’t say anything nonsensical.”
 
“But if you really have plans, you’d better be careful to keep your distance from your junior brother.” Yin Hanxing reminded. “My uncle is very sensitive to this kind of thing. Before, someone hugged his other thigh and tried to climb his bed, he was directly beaten up by a bodyguard in the hotel, and was banned after being thrown out.”
 
Zhou Jinchen’s eyes were slightly deep, “En.”
 
He asked, “About the engagement, Yin Yuan is sure that no one in the family will object?”
 
Yin Hanxing smiled, “My aunt only has eyes for money. She wasn’t second brother’s biological mother. She can’t take care of what my little uncle is playing with and she doesn’t want to care.”
 
“As for my second brother, he looks sick all day in front of outsiders. It’s not clear how many years he can live, and my uncle will not bother to consider his opinions.”
 
“There are no exceptions to those who were previously supported by uncle, they all comply with his wishes and called him Daddy. Moreover, what uncle likes most is forcing people to call him Daddy in bed.”
 
Yin Hanxing gave a sarcastic laugh.
 
“I think he is more excited about the matter of you and second brother getting married than the direct unspoken rules.”
 
On the side, An who has been listening was dumbfounded.
 
He thought about it a lot when he was alone in the study last night. Yin Yuan’s strange treatment to Zhou Jinchen can be regarded as the father-in-law taking care of his son-in-law, so it seemed like An Xumo was overthinking.
 
The boy was originally blaming himself for thinking too much but he really didn’t expect that the truth would actually make people disgusted.
 
This engagement……Unexpectedly, this engagement is a front for Yin Yuan to satisfy his own perverse hobby?
 
Zhou Jinchen also frowned, “Why would he have such a hobby?”
 
He thought more than An Xumo, “What about Yin Hanyue?” 
 
An Xumo who was still in shock barely heard the words, thinking that his brother was asking if Yin Hanyue knew about it but Yin Hanxing understood the meaning of the man’s words.
 
“This is uncle’s own hobby; he was like this before he got married.”
 
Yin Hanxing said, “And second brother is weak since he was a child. My uncle isn’t interested in medicine jars. He still has so many illegitimate sons and daughters outside, my second brother is still safe, you don’t need to think much about this.”
 
An Xumo felt even more incredulous.
 
So, what they mean is that Yin Hanyue is also even in……danger as well, because he is physically weak and only narrowly escaped disaster?
 
•·················•·················•

The author has something to say:
 
There is no most perverted, only even more perverted……
 
① The name of the third generation of the Yin family: The sun, moon, and stars⁴日月星辰 not really sure.
 
Yin Hanyue is the son of Yin Yuan, ranked second; Yin Hanxing is the son of Yin Yuan’s brother, age ranked third. I hope you don’t get them mixed up~ 
 
➁ Some people guess that Yin Hanyue likes the brother (Zhou Jinchen), in fact, his brother’s peach blossom has obvious features wa. Han Ming, Lin Rui, Yin Yuan, haven’t you noticed? [laughing and crying]
 
③ Yin Hanxing mentioned the cannon fodder that was beaten out of the hotel, it was Han Ming [must’ve been forgotten by many people, just mentioned it casually
 
④ Each peach blossom of the protagonist cp has a different promoting effect. Advance spoiler, Yin Yuan’s appearance will allow the brother to rescind Xiao Mo’s unreasonable harsh contract. Otherwise, Xiao Mo will always be on a trainee contract which will be a great disadvantage in the future.
 
Brother is wholeheartedly thinking about Xiao Mo, and the following article is really sweet, sweet, sweet la.

Chapter 101 – Anyway, a lot of information
 
An Xumo spent most of the month in the set of 《Joy In Going Out》. He films until the last few days, just in time for the release of Ming Entertainment’s magazine on sale.
 
The magazine’s cover is an outdoor picture of two people, and the background is a mountain of half-golden and half-red maple leaves. Zhou Jinchen wearing a dark blue trench coat, looking down from above, An Xumo wearing a denim jacket and a silk scarf tied around his neck, sitting on a wooden box. The two stood and sat with shoulders in line simultaneously, looking at the camera together.
 
After the magazine went on sale online, it broke three records in a row: 67,000 copies were sold in one second, the limited edition of 100,000 copies sold out in five seconds, and the actual amount paid exceeded three million. In addition to the sales figures, the nine-square grid photo¹The rule of the thirds is commonly used in photography that is, an image is divided evenly into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, and the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along with one of the lines itself. Something like this: link teaser released on Weibo by Ming Entertainment’s official microblogging service according to the usual practice of each issue also broke to the highest record of official Weibo forwarding after only one day

 
The nine-square grid photos were all double photos, the most popular of which was a horse riding picture. The light brown cloak-wearing An Xumo is riding on a black horse while Zhou Jinchen, wearing a black cloak, is standing in front of a red horse. The ground is full of golden grass leaves. The two look at each other like partners and old friends, having a tacit understanding, seeing through each other with a look.
 
Fans look at the data and passers-by look at the photos, this combination of shooting the nine-square grid photos has really been forwarded out of the circle. As a result, between the forwarding group of support stations and support associations also emerged a lot of “suddenly standing on this cp…..” and “unexpectedly a good match” remarks.
 
[CP – I think everyone knows this lol. Being paired together like a couple.]
 
What people didn’t expect, after the magazine was released, all the photos were made public. In one of the single pictures, Zhou Jinchen was wearing the same outfit, a long cloak, and black horseriding boots, holding a whip in his hand, but it was a very different feeling from the double photo.
 
—— It was a complete refusal, standing high and forcing people to submit.
 
The temperament and style of this single photo are far from that photo taken together, so it’s difficult not to think of the idea of ‘being gentle only to one person’ and so on thoughts. There was even a paragraph written on the spot, and it reached first place in the hot forward rows.
 
The main collaboration between Zhou Jinchen and An Xumo was in 《Different Roads》, which was also mentioned in the magazine’s interview on the inside of the page. Despite the normal cooperation in front of them, there are still many people who interpreted something different from this combination —— one true pairing.
 
‘ChenMo’ CP quietly emerged. A variety of frame-by-frame roadside and video clips quickly sprang up, high quality and high sweetness of CP sugar came out, and all previous cooperation between the two has been resurfaced.
 
And once you start looking back at the past, it’s hard to ignore the unique atmosphere between the two.
 
CP fans knocking on sugar into a coma, but because of the traffic identity of both parties, this CP did not cause much splash in the end. Only in the majority of the fans is the mainstream to control the field ahead of time and refuse to pair up. Seeing that the relationship between the two fans was good when collaborating in the main film, the two fans didn’t tear each other up.
 
The artists’ studio will monitor the fans’ movements, and the recent flurry of disturbances cannot escape the eyes of both teams. However, as one of the parties involved, An Xumo knows nothing about it.
 
He’s still busy filming the movie.
 
When his scene in 《Joy In Going Out》 was over, An Xumo was able to leave the film and television base. He flew back to B City from Jiangnan, not even staying one more night.

It was already evening when he arrived. The sun was like blood, enveloping this ancient and modern city. When he got off the plane and saw the familiar airport bus, An Xumo suddenly found that he actually felt an inexplicable nostalgia and attachment to this city even though he had lived for only a few months.
 
Tang Tang went back to S City; An Xumo came back alone. There was an arranged driver waiting at the airport exit. He handed his luggage to the other party and put it in the trunk. Somewhat tired, An Xumo took off his glasses and mask, rubbed his eyes, and bent down to directly sit on the back seat.
 
The journey was light and easy, and he didn’t even see the bodyguard. An Xumo habitually thought that the driver also came alone. When he opened his eyes and saw the familiar figure in the backseat, his whole person directly froze.
 
The car is smoothly on the road, Zhou Jinchen who was dressed up, looked at him sideways but his eyes are much softer than those strict clothing.
 
But soon, his expression changed.
 
“Xiao Mo, you…….”
 
An Xumo was so dizzy that he responded half a beat slower, “Ah?”
 
Zhou Jinchen didn’t say anything. He reached over directly and covered An Xumo’s nose with a wet wipe he hastily unwrapped.
 
The other hand came over and encircled the boy’s shoulder to help him stabilize his body. The deep male voice rang out in the still dazed An Xumo’s ears.
 
“You have a nosebleed.”
 
An Xumo subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, and only in the midst of it did he react. He felt the other’s fingers that reached over to help. 
 
As a result of helping to stop the bleeding, the distance between the two was quite close, and the man’s impactful face is only a finger away from An Xumo. He can touch the other with a slight raise of the head.
 
An Xumo’s brain ‘buzzed’, the rest of his face was as red as blood.
 
“I……”
 
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”
 
Zhou Jinchen’s expression was serious, but his voice slowed down significantly. He whispered soothingly to the boy, “There’s an ice pack in the car. I’ll apply it for you.”
 
An Xumo struggled in vain.
 
“I’m fine,” he jarred and insisted on clarifying, “Just, I’m not overly excited. I don’t need to cool down…….”
 
“……”
 
Zhou Jinchen was silent for a moment.
 
He took out an ice pack from the car refrigerator with his free hand, pulled out the towel, and wrapped it up. He carefully applied it to the root of An Xumo’s nose.
 
“The cold compression is to stop the bleeding.”
 
There was nothing in the man’s voice, and his expression was as usual.
 
But An Xumo can swear on sugar that his brother must be smiling.
 
“The north is dry in autumn, and you have just come back from the south. If you don’t adapt to it, you will have a nosebleed, not because of excitement.”
 
“……”
 
An Xumo unexpectedly didn’t want to apply it to his nose.
 
He felt that his red side face and ears are needed to be cooled down more.
 
Despite saying that the nosebleed was due to not adapting to the dry weather, blood flow stopped a few minutes later. When they returned to downtown B City, Zhou Jinchen still chose to take the person to the hospital and had a good examination up and down before he was willing to let it go.
 
Time passed slowly in the courtyard where the two lived together, and common memories were scattered in every corner of B City. When the first snow hung all over the golden glazed tiles, An Xumo suddenly realized that he had spent nearly half a year in B City.
 
In addition to the filming of 《Joy In Going Out》, An Xumo was also involved in other activities. Work squeezed out about one-third of his study time, and when the end of the semester came, there will be another difficult revision waiting for him.
 
When he was studying with his roommates, An Xumo was blocked at the door by Yin Hanxing, who took the initiative to find him. This senior brother appeared so frequently that he could find him as long as he was at school, so much so that An Xumo once wondered if his schedule has been leaked.
 
Yin Hanxing didn’t say much and left after shoving a pile of loaded information to An Xumo. Although he appears many times, he just said hello every time or left with something to finish, but there is no way to really hate it.
 
After getting the answers to the last midterm exam, An Xumo sent back a pair of equestrian gloves. This time he took things back and went through them. Needless to say, it was exam material again, and there were even questions from several professional courses.
 
However, when sharing information this time, Zhao Yongjing gave An Xumo a message.
 
“Remember that girl who handed you a confession letter at the beginning of the school year? At that time, there were several other people from previous levels with her. I met a few of them recently when I was at an event, some of them were in the Equestrian Club, and some were in the International Student Association.” Zhao Yongjing entered the school association. Naturally, he had the opportunity to come into contact with more people from other faculties. He subtly hinted, “Do you know the identity of this Senior Yin, ba?
 
Yin Hanxing, the president of the Equestrian Club, is a British Chinese.
 
Zhao Yongjing didn’t disclose the matter, but the meaning of the words is apparent. At that time, in that scene, the confession was not the point, and it was weird to go straight to An Xumo.
 
Because of his previous speculation about Lu Pinghui, An Xumo was already wary of Yin Hanxing. After thanking Zhao Yongjing, he labeled the senior brother as ‘ill-intentioned’.
 
At the end of January, the wind was bitterly cold in B City. The quiet and cozy evening ended with the final exams. Just after coming out of the exam room, An Xumo was pulled by the nanny’s car to the advertiser’s event.
 
After the party, Tang Tang called. The end of the year is a holiday for students but the busiest time for artists.
 
After resting for so long, An Xumo has replenished a lot of energy, but for the team that helped him pushed off so many activities, the boy felt rather somewhat embarrassed.
 
“Xiao Mo, this activity is not easy to push. That’s why I dragged you here right after the exam…….”
 
“It’s okay, the exam doesn’t take any physical strength.” An Xumo said, “It’s been really hard on you guys lately. Tang Tang, thank Brother Shen and the others for me, too.”
 
Tang Tang responded, her voice obviously hesitant. Only after An Xumo asked did she speak, “Xiao Mo……Actually, it’s not our fault that we were able to put off these activities.”
 
An Xumo froze for a moment, “……Then?”
 
“The company did not agree to you going to a normal university in the beginning and when you went to P University, the company gave indicators to maintain the same amount of income during the school year as you worked this summer.”
 
The summer is the time when 《Different Roads》 was released. It’s also when An Xumo’s popularity is at its peak, and no less than ten advertising endorsements have been approached. Even without having deep memory of the total amount of money, An Xumo could imagine the severity of this company’s indicator.
 
But even so, An Xumo couldn’t afford to resist. His contract was signed during his trainee period with the harshest conditions, and the breach of contract was sky-high.
 
An Xumo’s original ease immediately disappeared, and he frowned, “Are the indicators still there now?”
 
“The indicators have not changed, we have fought for it, but the top always refused to let it go.”
 
An Xumo’s heart ached. The money he owes now, I’m afraid……
 
“In the end, it was Brother Zhou who stepped in to settle the matter.” Tang Tang let out a low sigh, “Xiao Mo……Brother Zhou directly handed over the money to the company for you and never let us tell you for fear that you would be distracted while studying at P University.”
 
How huge would a monthly bill be? The team’s total share of money since An Xumo’s debut is not this much. If not for Zhou Jinchen, it’s impossible to exchange the money for study and recuperation.
 
Even for Zhou Jinchen, this money is definitely not a small amount.
 
An Xumo was stunned.
 
…… Brother?
 
He didn’t know how to describe his current mood.
 
The thawing riverbed, the new sprouts, and the vitality of recovery, the fiery red sun rose from beyond the tightly jointed high walls, sunlight shining in along every seemingly nonexistent crack.
 
“……I will thank him, and thanks to you all.” The boy’s voice was slightly hoarse.
 
However, Tang Tang’s words were not yet finished.
 
“Do you want to go now Xiao Mo? Brother Zhou might be a little busy lately. Why don’t you wait for a while…….”
 
“Busy?”
 
An Xumo has some doubts. When he prepared for the last exam last night, his brother stayed with him for nearly three hours, just like every day of the week, and didn’t show any difference.
 
“Is there something special?”
 
“Ah yes, you are not in S City. I don’t think you’ve heard of these things.”
 
Tang Tang’s voice came out of the microphone and fell on the listener’s ears, it actually seemed a bit low and high, and it was annoyingly powerful.
 
“There has been a recent change in equity within the company and that Director Yin Yuan who invited you at the banquet before brought up the engagement to Brother Zhou and wanted him to marry his son……”
 
An Xumo sat in the spacious back seat. The smooth journey almost turned the bones of his whole body upside down.
 
…… Engagement?
 
The two words²Two words in rawfell from the sky and hit An Xumo squarely on the spine, heavier than the huge debt that could not be repaid in a lifetime a few minutes ago.
 
The two words are so heavy that one can’t breathe.

Chapter 100 – I want to hear your voice

After the magazine shoot, An Xumo participated in several more activities arranged by the team and made use of all available space to complete an endorsement shoot and renew the contract. However, he still spends most of his time on his schoolwork. It wasn’t long before the first midterm exams of the university came.

The mathematics department of P University is known as ‘the first department of the first university’ where the ranking in the country is estimated to be far ahead of the second and third place. Not to mention the many big cows¹‘niu people’ online term which refers to outstanding people in a certain field.within the department, just looking at the student population, every year there are half of the students who enter the competition and the fierce competition can be seen. In addition, the failure rate is significantly higher than the other departments so one can imagine the heavy workload of the Math department and the difficulty of the exams.

Therefore, when the results came out and found that he had not failed any subjects, An Xumo who had been at the top of the list was obviously relieved.

After all, he had asked for many leave before, it was good to make sure that his grades didn’t fall below the bottom line.

The week before the exam, not only An Xumo himself was busy, Zhou Jinchen also specially made time to come out in the evening to accompany him to study. There is a separate study in the courtyard, the room has a large space, and the furnishings and layout also make people feel very comfortable. In the study, where the aromatherapy lamp is lit, there is the sound of keyboard and pen resounding from time to time. The time and night together are quietly slipping over people’s shoulders. Obviously, intangible things can’t be touched, but it carves deep traces in people’s hearts.

Although there is no intersection between the two people’s work and although An Xumo has long been used to studying by himself for a long time, as a result, when he looks back after the exam, he has to admit that those complicated steps he has solved have become blurred to the point of not being able to see them clearly and that he had forgotten when the solution was finished.

All that remains is the aromatherapy, the wooden floor, and the familiar figure that can be seen not far away.

In addition to Zhou Jinchen who accompanied him, there was also another person who appeared in An Xumo’s life because of the midterm exam.

Not only the major courses but the freshmen also had some big courses to test. An Xumo originally wanted to follow his roommates to ask for some review materials but someone took the initiative to sort out and send over the previous years’ original questions and answers.

This kind-hearted brother is Yin Hanxing.

When Yin Hanxing came over to deliver the stuff, the other people in An Xumo’s dormitory were present. Once the smiling senior brother left, three pairs of eyes were fixed on the stack of materials. Taking into account the matter of Lu Pinghui, An Xumo originally wanted to warn everyone that there might be a fraud. As a result, several people checked the answers and found that there was no big deviation between the reference answers and the scattered data collected from various places. Finally, they took over the original topic.

After the exam, An Xumo also found that these materials sent by Yin Hanxing did not have any misleading information which made him have another layer of doubt about Yin Hanxing. Apart from Lu Pinghui, An Xumo really couldn’t understand what other reason the other party had to insist on approaching him.

If he could read a few more young adult novels, or pick up a school idol drama, he might be able to understand Yin Hanxing’s intentions — all these chasing tactics are overused but they still work well.

So much that An Xumo only needs a little more confidence in his self to guess the real reason.

Unfortunately, he has neither.

After the midterm, An Xumo took on a new movie. He needed to leave the school to film with the group. As soon as he got busy, he completely forgot about Yin Hanxing.

The team had originally agreed that they would wait for the winter break before giving An Xumo a movie but the company pressed too hard and the team couldn’t hold on. Tang Tang had no choice but to confirm that An Xumo’s condition had improved. After discussing with others, she took the film contract before the midterm.

An Xumo doesn’t feel anything personally, for him, he still likes the feeling of fulfillment when working. The team treated him very well and An Xumo didn’t want them to have a hard time. After the crew started work, he soon joined the group within the allotted time.

The team was able to get a script of significantly higher quality than the previous one because of the preceding relationship with 《Different Roads》. The next film they took up this time was one of the best in terms of overall conditions.

The movie is titled 《Joy In Going Out》 which is a road comedy movie. The director has been transformed from a well-known actor. His first film, directed and acted by himself, has reaped a lot of box office which is a very successful example of transformation. This time, coupled with the director himself as the main actor in 《Joy In Going Out》, several other important roles in the film are also his old partners he had worked with, including many actors with strong box office appeal. Just by watching the movie, the film’s cast is a sufficient guarantee for the box office after its release.

In 《Joy In Going Out》, An Xumo is still a supporting actor. The film’s overall plot is divided into four parts and he will appear in only one of them, so there aren’t many scenes. However, judging from the plot, if he can really act well, this role is still very likable, along with the momentum to absorb a wave of fans is also very possible.

Therefore, for An Xumo who currently needs to consolidate his impression on behalf of the role and does not have much working time, this opportunity can simply be said to be the most suitable.

The film is shot at the film and television based in Jiangnan.²referring to lands immediately to the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. An Xumo’s scenes took more than half a month, which he needs to shoot with the team. Naturally, he can’t return to B City so the course was also temporarily placed on leave.


However, although he didn’t go back, he received a phone call from B City.

Before the call came, An Xumo was watching the broadcast of CCTV News. On the screen was a celebration ceremony attended by representatives from all walks of life, and the person whom An Xumo was most familiar with was one of them.

The lighting of CCTV news programs has always been indescribable but the faces on the TV are still so good that one can’t help but take screenshots. The actor living with him hadn’t returned yet, An Xumo hesitated for a moment and pointed his phone’s camera mode at the TV.

He only took one picture and stopped, which is a big improvement compared to the previous time when he couldn’t move his eyes once he saw the picture of his brother.

As a result, once the photo was just put into the album, a phone prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.

The person who had just been photographed by An Xumo was calling.

In fact, he really didn’t talk about anything in particular. He just asked the boy if he was comfortable with the filming and whether he had eaten on time during the day. Until the phone hung up, An Xumo was still a little unresponsive.

Before that, it was hard for him to imagine that his brother would specifically call to ask about these trivial matters. After all, in An Xumo’s impression, his brother has great self-control, and each of his actions has his own purpose.

Yet this impossible imagination has clearly become a reality in front of him.

It also changed every day.

The phone call every night became the norm, coupled with the usual inquiries, the phone call also slowly talked about other things such as filming. Because of signing the confidentiality contract, the specific content of the script cannot be disclosed, but from some general issues, Zhou Jinchen also gave An Xumo a lot of very useful advice.

Not only with the filming skills but also because of the previous cooperation, Zhou Jinchen has an understanding of several actors in the crew. Which actors will patiently bring up their juniors, who likes to steal the show, and some advice on how to get along with the others, he also told it to An Xumo.

In a trance, An Xumo seems to have returned to the nights when the script was discussed during the filming of 《Different Roads》.

Due to the irregularity of the completion of work every day, the phone call became An Xumo’s call later on. There were times when he came back late from a night shoot, after dialing the phone, he fell asleep without saying a few words, and only to find himself holding the phone in his hand at dawn.

The first few times he fell asleep, An Xumo didn’t pay much attention to it until he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and he realized that the phone screen was still showing the connection status.

An Xumo whispered a sentence as to why he didn’t turn it off and was just about to hang up when he heard the man’s voice on the other side.

“Xiao Mo? Are you awake?”

“…… Brother?” An Xumo froze for a moment, taking into account his sleeping roommate, he did not dare to raise his voice. In a daze mixed with a nasal voice, it sounded even softer.

“Why didn’t you hang up the phone……?”

“I want to hear your voice.”

When saying this, Zhou Jinchen’s tone was no different from the past as if he was calmly stating a fact.

The night was deep and his voice was low and slow, “Go back to sleep ba. It’s still dawn.”

An Xumo was so sleepy that he didn’t think about it. After fumbling to charge his phone, he fell asleep and didn’t hang up the phone. It was not until the next morning when he woke up when his roommate went to wash up, in the sound of water, An Xumo was dumbfounded by the call log on his phone.

Four hours and thirty-nine minutes, hanging up only after 5:00 am.

It’s also possible to flip forward.

In addition to those dozen or so minutes of calls that were actively hang up when awake, there are also some five hours, six hours, which are large segments of call records.

While An Xumo was asleep.

No matter how late the call is, you will pick it up as soon as possible. I think I worked overtime at night, and recalling the voice of late last night, my brother was also very awake.

Listening to your own voice…….

What is there to listen to after falling asleep, the sound of breathing?

An Xumo propped his forehead and frowned in confusion.

Moreover, he now realizes in retrospect that, except for the few times he fell asleep, he actually hung up first on all the daily calls too.

His brother has been waiting for him.

Like Yin Hanxing, An Xumo also did not understand Zhou Jinchen’s intention. However, Yin Hanxing could be ignored but not his brother.

He took another look at the two hundred and seventy-nine minutes on the screen.

….. Does the treatment need to be so serious?

An Xumo once again wavered.

In his state of being bruised all over, the boy used his bare hands to build up his defenses a little bit with the broken bricks that had been hit hard twice. He planted steel bars into the high walls he built and poured them with cement. He built them into a tall fortress, turning it into the strongest heart defense.

The boy took back all the keys he had given and even the doors he had left before were firmly sealed so that no one could ever cross this line of defense and hurt him again.

An Xumo stayed alone in the dark fortress, even if it was cold, he felt safe.

Then one day, he suddenly heard — someone sang a soft and warm song outside the fortress.

Chapter 99 – Look at me and take your time
 
The photographer with a small ponytail is surnamed Zhang, the photographer responsible for shooting An Xumo. As Zhou Jinchen had previously instructed, during the trial shoot, he gave An Xumo a number of requirements that sounded rather odd. However, judging from the final effect, it is clear that the demands made by Ponytail Zhang are still very reasonable.
 
Compared with Zhou Jinchen’s cold, hard, and handsome style, although An Xumo is also wearing black and white, it gives people a completely different impression. He wore a white shirt with a lace collar, a one-piece suit with a deformed design similar to a pair of suspenders, a slightly fluffy short shawl, and a pair of brown round leather shoes. The design sense of the clothes, mixed with his temperament, made An Xumo look like a noble young master who has never been through the affairs of the world, pure and lovely.
 
The contrast between this outfit and the one Zhou Jinchen wore was somewhat obvious which is why An Xumo froze for a moment when he just saw his brother in a horse riding outfit. He had been worried whether the two would not match if they stood together like this. As a result, after the trial shoot, he was called to the dressing room and came out with a new set of clothes.
 
Unlike Zhou Jinchen who can handle most styles, An Xumo still lacks a lot of shooting experience. The working group didn’t know him very well so they prepared several sets of plans and took their time to discover the feelings in him.
 
Therefore, in this way, An Xumo spent a little more time than Zhou Jinchen.
 
After the trial shoot, the team finished a set indoors and then moved to the pasture. Working until late at night, the team left the pasture and stayed in a hotel not far away.
 
Early the next morning, the weather turned clear. Before the sun fully rose from the sky, the light was much better than it was yesterday. The person in charge made a prompt decision to shoot outside first.
 
While the sky is not yet bright, the two people have to carry out a simple horse riding training. Zhou Jinchen has no problem since he has even shot several costume literary works. This intensive training is in fact carried out for An Xumo.
 
The working group hired a coach to come over and guide the relevant skills but is also responsible for the protection of the artists’ safety. However, what made the coach a little curious was that although An Xumo hadn’t ridden a horse before, his movements and riding posture were quite standard. When he sat on the horse, he didn’t have the nervousness that ordinary people have when they first come into contact with horses.
 
“Are you sure you really haven’t ridden it before?” the coach couldn’t help asking. Chatting with the guest is actually a way to distract and ease the tension but now, it seems that the person he has to take care of doesn’t seem to need this kind of initiative.
 
An Xumo thought for a moment, “Was helped once……”
 
“He previously rode for ten minutes.”
 
Before An Xumo’s finished his words, he was interrupted by an interjected voice.
 
Yin Hanxing walked over, he reached out and patted the black horse underneath An Xumo and smiled, “Rode Jade Rabbit with me.”
 
The coach was hired by the working group at the racecourse, naturally, he knew his young boss. After nodding and gesturing, he went around to the other side to hold the reins, leaving space for the two.
 
“Don’t be nervous, take it slow,” Yin Hanxing’s voice was pleasant and carried a magical effect that soothes people. “Black Rabbit is very well behaved and runs steadily.”
 
An Xumo couldn’t help but smile, and his taut back relaxed a little.
 
“Why are all your horses called rabbits?”
 
“Because the best horse in the stable is called Red Rabbit which is a red date.” Yin Hanxing said smiling with his peach blossom eyes, “so, the best horse in every other color has the same name.”
 
“Red Rabbit was also rented by you guys……”
 
Before Yin Hanxing finishes his words, An Xumo already looked up towards his back.
 
As if Yin Hanxing felt something, he turned his head back and an enlarged, wet horse’s nose appeared in front of him. Yin Hanxing staggered a step away and the maroon, tall horse snorted.
 
Sitting on the horse, Zhou Jinchen looked condescendingly at Yin Hanxing. The sun’s rays were blocked behind him, making the expressionless man look even more intimidating.
 
Yin Hanxing paused for a moment before resuming his smile.
 
“Mr. Zhou.”
 
An Xumo did not notice the strange atmosphere between the two, he called out “Brother Jinchen” and looked curiously around the man, “You can already ride by yourself?”
 
Zhou Jinchen withdrew his eyes on Yin Hanxing and when he turned to An Xumo, even his voice slowed down a bit.
 
“I’ve practiced before.”
 
The two horses walked side by side and soon left Yin Hanxing, who only had two legs behind. Under the care of the coach and Zhou Jinchen, An Xumo also quickly adapted to the bumpiness and speed of the black horse. When the sun came up, the sky was bright, and the shooting on horseback began.
 
The shooting on horseback was quite smooth. When the photos were finished, the difficulty of the rest of the shooting was significantly reduced. Although there was a constant need to change clothes and makeup, for An Xumo who is used to the life of an artist, this kind of thing is no longer a challenge.
 
The only special thing is that the photo is a double cover which is much more difficult than a single photoshoot.
 
There are two types of two-person fashion magazine photoshoots, one is the group shot method, where the subjects do not overlap with each other much and even two people can be shot in separate studios and then edited together in a post. The shooting of Ming Entertainment clearly belongs to the second type — there is a clear sense of interaction between the subjects and blocking anyone will have an impact on the perception of the photo.
 
Therefore, during the initial shoot, Ponytail Zhang and another ace photographer wearing a blue square scarf specifically told the two that they need not purposely look at each other or intentionally create obvious eye contact but that they had to conform to the shot.
 
An Xumo remembered these instructions and did what they said. As a result, after shooting a few sets in the pasture, Zhou Jinchen went to change clothes, and Ponytail Zhang and the blue square scarf who were in charge of the two, stood together to discuss for a while but walked towards An Xumo.
 
Ponytail Zhang spoke briefly but bluntly, “You don’t give enough attention to Teacher Zhou.”
 
When he said that, not only An Xumo, but also the whole working group was a little confused.
 
In fact, at the very beginning, the person in charge had also considered the lack of interaction between the two. But at that time, everyone was worried about Zhou Jinchen — even when he was just starting out and couldn’t get any resources, he hadn’t done any cover shoots with others. So far, all the group photos Zhou Jinchen has taken are movie stills, and it’s easy to see his rejection of non-single covers when you look at his past shooting experience.
 
As for the other person, the working group didn’t worry much about it. Generally, this kind of cooperation object with a disparity in status, the lower one needs to restrain emotions. If one side is too headstrong, it will appear a little awkward in front of the camera.
 
As a result, when they arrived on set, anyone with eyes could see that Zhou Jinchen was the one who cared most about An Xumo — even An Xumo’s own agent couldn’t follow him around at all times. The person in charge put this worry aside for the time being but to his surprise, when the shooting really started, An Xumo became the one who did not interact enough.
 
An Xumo nodded stiffly in full view of everyone. He was about to say something but he was called out by Zhou Jinchen who came out of the dressing room.
 
“Xiao Mo,” Zhou Jinchen signaled, “it’s your turn.”
 
“Okay!”
 
An Xumo answered hurriedly.
 
There are only temporary changing rooms on the pasture so they need to take turns to go in to change clothes. An Xumo trotted over and quietly breathed a sigh of relief as he walked past Zhou Jinchen, with his clothes in his arms, he was about to close the door when the doorknob was pulled.
 
An Xumo subconsciously looked up and the man outside the door looked over. He had handsome looks and a deep and low voice.
 
“Relax, take your time.”
 
The dressing room’s door was closed and the focus of attention was quickly taken back by Zhou Jinchen who turned around.
 
Zhou Jinchen looked back at the dressing room and then walked towards the crowd.
 
What he wanted to say just now was actually “look at me”.
 
When he opened his mouth, in the end, he changed it to “take your time”.
 
Perhaps it was the photographer’s advice or perhaps because of Zhou Jinchen’s comforting, after changing into a new costume, An Xumo quickly entered the state, and the shooting process became increasingly smooth.
 
After the grassland part was finished, the team moved to Ye Mountain for the next shoot. Before leaving, Yin Hanxing also appeared, after talking to the person in charge, he came over to find An Xumo.
 
In fact, from the looks of it, Yin Hanxing is not the type of person who is very easy to get along with. Although he often wears a smile, he always gives people a feeling of distance. However, for some reason, he always took extra care of An Xumo.
 
After the two talked a few words, Yin Hanxing handed over a pendant in the shape of a snow-white pony.
 
“It’s braided from the hair dropped by Jade Rabbit and it’s given to you as a souvenir.”
 
While waiting for the person to take the item over, Yin Hanxing smiled again and said, “Looking forward to our next meeting.”
 
An Xumo paused. He always felt that they did not seem to be familiar with each other to this extent.
 
Without waiting for the boy to figure out how to answer, Zhou Jinchen who was at the side reached out and directly pulled the person away.
 
The scenery of Ye Mountain is also captivating. The maple leaves began to turn red, dappled with fiery red burns among the leaves, dyed with a strong sense of autumn. It took a whole day to shoot and it was only the next afternoon that the team left N City and returned to B City.
 
It wasn’t yet late when he returned so An Xumo went back to school first. As soon as he came back, he received the Equestrian Club’s leaflet on campus. Looking at the figure on the paper that was placed in the most extreme position, An Xumo couldn’t help but frown.
 
This Yin Hanxing……who exactly is this person?
 
After dealing with the accumulated news over the past two days, An Xumo thought about it and finally opened the school’s forum.
 
He searched for Yin Hanxing as keywords and a whole page of related posts soon popped up on the screen.
 
It seems that Yin Hanxing can be considered a popular figure in P University.
 
An Xumo roughly browsed through, there were three or four independent posts related to Yin Hanxing alone. In addition, there are also a variety of activity posts, selection posts, gossip posts, and so on, in which there is a lot of news related to Yin Hanxing.
 
What An Xumo didn’t expect was that Yin Hanxing was actually foreign Chinese.¹Chinese having foreign citizenship.
 
Yin Hanxing was admitted to the school as an international student and is a senior this year. Since he had created the Equestrian Club, he had been gossiped about his family’s situation. Despite all kinds of news, they prove that his family was indeed very well-off.
 
An Xumo clicked on an event post that showed Yin Hanxing’s name. It talks about some of the top ten singers of previous years. Yin Hanxing seems to have also participated in this competition and some people spoke in the post, wondering why he had such good conditions but didn’t debut.
 
The following post caught An Xumo’s attention.
 
[Panda burning candles: Isn’t his uncle one of the top-level members of Jin Dian? All he needs to make a debut is a word. It’s just not his aspiration.]
 
The next few pages were filled with gossip and some people questioned the content of this follow-up post. However, this information seems to have been available three or four years ago, and a number of links were soon posted. In addition to the scattered clues, there was one related piece of information that was particularly noteworthy — Yin Yuan, a director of Jin Dian, whose son is named Yin Hanyue.
 
Yin Hanxing, Yin Hanyue, just by looking at their names, one can guess that they are family.
 
When he saw the name Yin Yuan, An Xumo couldn’t help but stare blankly.
 
Isn’t he the one who previously moved next to brother’s residence and also frequently talked to brother at the housewarming banquet…. is he the one who is the top executive of Jin Dian?
 
So Yin Hanxing came into contact with him because of Yin Yuan?
 
An Xumo thought and couldn’t help but have some doubts, but his relationship with his brother, there should be no one in the entertainment industry know about it.
 
However, apart from his brother, what did he have to do with this Director Yin?
 
An Xumo suddenly paused.
 
He remembered.
 
During the filming of 《Different Roads》 previously, a supporting actor who once spread news about him on Weibo was finally dismissed by the crew. At that time, when Xin Zimai said this matter, he mentioned Yin Yuan’s name.
 
Lu Pinghui’s dismissal had something to do with him more or less. The more An Xumo thought about it, the more it makes sense. It seems likely that it was because of Lu Pinghui that Yin Hanxing came to deliberately approach him.
 
Moreover, this kind of thing probably has nothing to do with Yin Yuan — if Yin Yuan wants to take revenge, he can do it directly at the company, why go around in such a big circle and choose the school.
 
So, it was Yin Hanxing’s own idea?
 
An Xumo wondered vacantly. How could this young master think of standing up for Lu Pinghui?
 
Is it because…… Yin Hanxing likes Lu Pinghui and can’t bear to see the person he likes suffer so he deliberately came close to him and wants to wait for an opportunity to retaliate?
 
Thinking about it, An Xumo couldn’t help touching his nose.
 
Then he must take note to stay away from Yin Hanxing in the future. People who like Lu Pinghui…… are certainly birds of the same feather flock together.
 
An Xumo’s thinking is extremely divergent, but from the very start, he denied all the possibilities that Yin Hanxing had taken the initiative to show his kindness is because he was interested in him.

Chapter 98 – The use of horsewhip and love rival
 
In the distance, Yin Hanxing and the person in charge chatted for a while before the two of them came their way.
 
The costume and prop team were still preparing so the two people who were about to be photographed were still free from the time being. The person in charge introduced Yin Hanxing to them and said, “The horse farm is owned by Mr. Yin’s family and he will show us the horses to be used in the shooting later.”
 
Yin Hanxing was wearing a denim jacket with a pair of Dr. Martens boots on his feet. His hair was simply tidied, looking fresh and handsome. He obviously also recognized An Xumo, without waiting for the person in charge to introduce him, he came up and took the initiative to call out the other party’s name.
 
“Xiao An? What a coincidence.” Yin Hanxing smiled, “I just sent Jade Rabbit¹[Chinese mythology] The Jade Rabbit; alternative name for 月兔 (yuètù, “the Moon Rabbit”). (literary, figuratively) the moon.back. My family asked me to come over to help the crew but I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
 
The person in charge didn’t expect Yin Hanxing to know An Xumo but he was clearly happy to see the two talking to each other. When someone called him from the side, the person in charge went ahead and only the three people were left in the same place.
 
It was indeed a coincidence. An Xumo greeted Yin Hanxing and asked, “Jade Rabbit?”
 
Yin Hanxing looked at An Xumo, his peach blossom eyes were smiling. There was always an illusion of affection when he looked at the person.
 
“It’s the white horse that we rode together.”
 
When the two talked, Zhou Jinchen on the side never said a word until he heard this sentence. Blue veins appeared on his forehead and finally opened his mouth and interrupted, “Mr. Yin.”
 
Yin Hanxing turned his eyes over as if he only saw another person next to him.
 
He didn’t ask why Zhou Jinchen called him instead he showed a smile but not a smile kind of expression and took the initiative to extend his hand towards Zhou Jinchen, “Mr. Zhou.”
 
Zhou Jinchen looked at him and the two people’s eyes crossed. Finally, Zhou Jinchen raised his right hand and they simply exchanged a handshake.
 
An Xumo stood at the side and looked at them curiously, always feeling that the atmosphere between the two was a bit odd. He couldn’t help but say, “Brother Jinchen, did you know each other before?”
 
The person who answered was Yin Hanxing. He looked at Zhou Jinchen and smiled meaningfully, “Mr. Zhou is so famous, how can anyone not know him?”
 
Zhou Jinchen narrowed his eyes but did not retort.
 
This slightly weird atmosphere did not last long. Soon, someone came and told them to put on make-up and change clothes. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Yin Hanxing, An Xumo and Zhou Jinchen went into the dressing room in the wooden house together.
 
This time, Ming Entertainment’s invitation wasn’t only for the cover, but also to complete a set of more than twenty shots. The shooting process is much more wearisome than ordinary studio shooting. Before the official shooting, they also have to complete a makeup trial.
 
The team arrived at the meadow at a late hour, coupled with a cloudy day. Today, the light became even more inadequate. After finishing the styling and changing clothes, the team moved to the indoor area where the conditions were satisfactory.
 
Zhou Jinchen was the first to put on makeup while An Xumo changed clothes and came back. Zhou Jinchen was already standing under the spotlight. He wore a long slim black jacket with a pure white lining on his upper body and dark gray tights on his bottoms, plus a pair of black shiny riding boots, a complete set of riding outfits.
 
Zhou Jinchen’s appearance is already eye-catching, coupled with these tailor-made clothes, he looks even more aggressive. He simply stood in place which was enough to give people the illusion that they will be burned but can’t help but want to look even more. In addition to the spotlight overhead, the man’s light spread more dazzlingly, so much that the originally messy field at this time seemed to be suddenly pumped out of air, repressed and quiet.
 
An Xumo missed a beat before he found his breathing.
 
Ming Entertainment’s two ace photographers have not yet arrived, those present are backup photographers. With Zhou Jinchen’s status, he doesn’t need to receive regular instructions. Coupled with the accumulation of long experience, his natural camera sense also allows him to effortlessly show full tension. Along with the advantage of no dead angle, Zhou Jinchen can easily get the feeling that the photographers desire without even thinking about choosing the most photogenic angle.
 
No one spoke at the scene and the photographers directly began to shoot. The set was still very quiet, the ‘click’ ‘click’ sounded constantly and every sound is clearly audible.
 
An Xumo stood not far away from the place, looking at the photos shown on the enlarged screen. The man’s body proportions are excellent, wearing a long black cloak to make his body more slender. The outline of his side profile is stiff and three-dimensional, his brow ridges cast a light shadow over his eyes, and when he faces the camera, it is a kind of aggressive beauty that makes people can’t help but hold their breath.
 
Every move is a breathtaking experience.
 
After a brief shot, a staff member handed over the props needed for the shoot. An Xumo looked over only to see that the horsewhip he had taken a fancy to before was held by the slender fingers wrapped in white gloves.
 
While lying in the long brocade box, the whip handle has attracted An Xumo’s attention but when it was held in the hands of Zhou Jinchen, it really came to life.
 
The slim-fit riding outfit carried restrictions and restraints similar to uniforms that are somewhat wilder. This contradictory temperament has been perfectly rendered by Zhou Jinchen and the same goes for the horsewhip that is black in body and cold in luster.
 
It imparts discipline and cold abstinence but gives birth to a deeper desire.
 
The set was already very quiet but the atmosphere becomes more subtle when the strongly suggestive horsewhip is shown in the light.
 
There is fear, the torture device made for beast arouse fear from the bottom of people’s heart but at the same time, there is a kind of suppression, forbearance, and explicable expectation that slowly grows out.
 
A man with handsome eyebrows and a cold face holding a horsewhip, the long and hard whip handle will draw a cold snap in the air. The square whip’s snap shows a hard texture and the pain caused can be imagined at a glance.
 
It was an overwhelming and high sensual pressure that one couldn’t help but surrender. The desire to be dominated surged from the bottom of one’s heart and even the pain that is supposed to arouse fear has become a gratifying gift. (T/N: Author…please aaahh qaq)
 
This was supposed to be a makeup trial session but no one cared about the makeup anymore.
 
As An Xumo watched, he suddenly understood what the little brother had said at that time — this horsewhip was for Mr. Zhou.
 
Only his temperament can accomplish such a perfect fit.
 
An Xumo actually did not quite understand why the atmosphere around him was so odd. He only felt that looking at Zhou Jinchen as such, he couldn’t help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
 
The brother in front of the camera reminded him of the feeling a long time ago, the sun hanging high in the sky, emitting an incomparable dazzling light.
 
Warm and bright but unattainable.
 
There was a commotion outside the door, An Xumo looked up and saw the person in charge walking in with a few people followed by the two ace photographers and Yin Hanxing, whom he had just met.
 
They had just gone to check the environment of the pasture and thus, have just come back. Once they saw Zhou Jinchen under the spotlight, several people also paused for a moment, especially the two photographers as their eyes were all lit up.
 
Yin Hanxing who was following at the end first glanced at An Xumo who was standing by the monitoring screen and then turned his gaze to Zhou Jinchen. He raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his lips with a meaningful look in his eyes.
 
Zhou Jinchen’s makeup trial ended. When he left the lighting board, the others were still a bit unresponsive. The person in charge and the two photographers went over to look at the photos that had just been taken, while Zhou Jinchen walked over in the direction of An Xumo.
 
The man’s dress hasn’t changed and he was still holding the whip. A staff member next to him wanted to take it but he waved his hand and said something to the person.
 
When Zhou Jinchen walked up to An Xumo, the aura around him was completely different from that in front of the camera.
 
“Wait until you try it out.” There is a gap in height between the two and Zhou Jinchen lowered his eyes to look at the boy. “Ming Entertainment’s photographers are not the same as other magazines. You don’t have to be nervous, just listen to their requirements.”
 
His tone remained calm and steady but it doesn’t sound cold at all. “Relax, don’t be nervous.”
 
An Xumo looked up at him and nodded obediently. Zhou Jinchen glanced back and saw that several of them were still looking at the photos so he handed over what he was holding.
 
Reaching out to take the whip, An Xumo’s face still had obvious doubts written on it.
 
“Do you like this?” Zhou Jinchen said, reaching out to cover the back of An Xumo’s hand.
 
With leather gloves on the back of his hand, he actually doesn’t feel any strange body temperature. It’s just that the man’s movements are gentle and he is very patient in correcting his gestures.
 
“Like this, put it here and hold it.” Zhou Jinchen taught the correct way of holding the whip to An Xumo, then let go of his hand and let the boy try it himself.
 
“If you like it, you can use it when riding horses on the location afterwards.”
 
An Xumo’s eyes lit up for a moment, “Can I use it too?”
 
“Mm.” Looking at the boy’s expression, Zhou Jinchen couldn’t help but want to touch the other’s hair. However, taking into account the environment, he finally resisted the desire to raise his hand. “The horsewhip is originally for horseback riding.”
 
A staff member came up to help An Xumo to put on simple makeup, the boy reluctantly returned the whip. Apparently, he had thrown away the unattainable thought he had just a moment ago to an unknown place.
 
Soon, someone came to call him and under the watchful eyes of Zhou Jinchen, An Xumo walked towards the spotlight and started his own trial shoot.
 
Unlike Zhou Jinchen just now, this time the person mainly in charge of An Xumo’s shooting was replaced by one of the two new aces. He had a small ponytail at the back of his head and quickly made a lot of requests to An Xumo in front of the camera.
 
An Xumo’s appearance and camera sense is not bad but compared to Zhou Jinchen, he still needs certain supplementary conditions to get into the shooting state.
 
While the boy was shooting, Zhou Jinchen was watching not far away, he was still wearing a long black jacket. After reining in the gentleness he had just faced with An Xumo, he looked a little repulsive this time.
 
However, there is still a person who approached very naturally.
 
As soon as Zhou Jinchen raised his eyes, he saw Yin Hanxing beside him.
 
Yin Hanxing raised his hand to gesture and said with a smile, “Don’t look at me so fiercely, Mr. Zhou.”
 
“Perhaps……” He smiled at the expressionless man, his voice softened so that only the two of them could hear.
 
“We might even be a family in the future.”

The author has something to say:
 
Let’s see if anyone can guess the meaning of the last sentence correctly.
 
Xiao Mo (excited): My brother said la, I can use the whip~
 
Brother (face unchanged): Mm.
 
Everyone: ……? ? ? ? We may not be thinking of the same usage…….
 
In fact, my brother wants to teach another one, but he is reluctant.

Chapter 97 – Bedtime stories and love rival

Jie Jie: Sorry for the delayed update, it was quite a busy day (*_ _)人

•·················•·················•
 
The words fell for a long time and An Xumo still did not have any obvious reaction. From the time he heard An He’s name, his state has been very slow, like a cub that has been frozen for too long, moving his tail takes a lot of effort.
 
Zhou Jinchen didn’t pursue the question nor did he repeat it. He even slightly relaxed the strength of his hands so that the boy in his arms could be held more comfortably.
 
An Xumo’s body is still shivering uncontrollably, Zhou Jinchen reached over along the side of his body and held the boy’s cold and trembling fingertips.
 
He passed on his temperature in silence.
 
After a long time, the man opened his mouth again, and the hoarse voice caused a slight tremor in the cool air.
 
He asked, “Is it okay?”
 
An Xumo moved, Zhou Jinchen lowered his eyes to look at him, the boy’s gaze is still somewhat empty as if a touch can dissipate in the air.
 
His voice was even lower than Zhou Jinchen’s, as if his vocal cords had just been sharpened by gravel.
 
“Or……no need,” An Xumo slowly moves his eyes away, “I, myself can also……”
 
Zhou Jinchen did not retreat because of the obvious resistance in the other party’s words.
 
“Everyone should live for themselves,” he tightened his fingers and gently rubbed the cold, stiff, and thin fingers in his hands, “but this doesn’t prevent us from absorbing sunlight from the outside world.”
 
Perhaps the words poked the deepest part of the heart, An Xumo was silent and did not continue to resist.
 
It was late at night and the empty porridge bowl was left on the table. There was a gap on the door of the living room, the sound of footsteps slowly extended to the bedroom, and the two people returned together to An Xumo’s room.
 
The lights in the room came on and the warm orange light fell down, giving a soft layer of gold on An Xumo’s black hair. Zhou Jinchen tucked him in the quilt and, like coaxing a child, touched An Xumo’s forehead.
 
“Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
 
He still remembered how his younger brother looked when he had his last attack.
 
An Xumo closed his eyes and exhaled one word in a soft voice.
 
“Cold.”
 
Zhou Jinchen looked around. He went to the cabinet and found a duvet. The double-layer warm, snow-white, soft quilt was warm enough that after wrapping the person tightly, Zhou Jinchen picked up the round boy and hugged him in a relaxed manner.
 
The body heat and duvet together make the warmth.
 
The lights in the room turned dim and the dim light set off a drowsy atmosphere. The boy was wrapped in a thick duvet and his thin chin was covered a little, leaving only the cold, soft, cheek that is gently pressed on the man’s hard shoulder blade.
 
An Xumo’s hair is very soft, close to the side of a person’s neck, the touch feels like a fluffy little animal. Zhou Jinchen held him in his arms; the other person’s weight doesn’t feel much heavier than that of a kitten.
 
The moon hung high and in the quiet night, Zhou Jinchen who has never liked to talk opened his mouth at this time and told the story of a long time ago, little by little.
 
There is a small dumpling that was born fair and his looks carved by jade, very cute. He likes to laugh, rarely cries, well-behaved, and easy to coax, and everyone who sees him likes him to the point they can’t help but want to reach out to tease.
 
Later, the little dumpling slowly draws out a long strip and softly chased after a person and called him brother. He is very satisfied. He can read a book in his arms all afternoon and be happy for a long time with a piece of milk candy.
 
After the incident, Zhou Jinchen’s memory was also intermittent, vaguely covered with a veil. However, since sorting out his thoughts, he began to recall these memories of his early years.
 
Therefore, these stories that came out of his mouth, even if they are trivial, they are incomparably true and vivid.
 
There was no lighted clock in the room and time ran away quietly in the magnetic voice. Don’t know how long has passed, the boy in his arms hasn’t moved. Just when Zhou Jinchen thought the other party had fallen asleep, a cool feeling quietly came from his shoulder.
 
“……”
 
Zhou Jinchen’s voice couldn’t help but pause.
 
Unlike the last time in the hospital, the boy’s crying this time was extremely quiet. He even made an effort to slow down his breathing but he couldn’t control his tears and quietly wet Zhou Jinchen’s shoulder.
 
The air was filled with depression, like a hand reaching out from the darkness, firmly holding a person’s heart. The repressed breathing with nasal sounds came from his bosom, passed upward to the ears, and pierced into the bottom of the heart.
 
Zhou Jinchen didn’t pause for long and continued to tell the story.
 
After preparing to lay all cards on the table with An Xumo on the identity of An He, Zhou Jinchen retrieved the suggestion from Li Qiucheng who is connected remotely. At present, An Xumo’s situation is a little better than expected.
 
It’s much better to be able to vent out than hold back until the panic attack sets in.
 
The night was shrouded in darkness; the low magnetic voice weaves into a warm and firm net bed. A man who has never told a bedtime story, accompanied by a boy who has never heard a bedtime story, spent a quiet early autumn night.
 
—-
 
The next morning, Tang Tang who flew in from S City, came over with her luggage in a dusty manner.¹travel-wornShe was startled before entering the alley, and after stepping into the courtyard, she was once again surprised.
 
This location, this area, this decoration……
 
Poverty limits the ability of working people to dream.
 
An Xumo took a leave of absence from school in order to take a set of cover photos. This photoshoot wasn’t only An Xumo’s first activity since school started but also the highest standard of the magazine he received. That’s why Tang Tang made a special effort to come over.
 
After getting off the plane and taking a taxi, it was already late when Tang Tang arrived. Yet, An Xumo seemed to have just woken up with distinct sleepiness written on his face.
 
However, he seems to be in good shape and his body doesn’t have the same strong sense of fatigue as before. Although she had kept in touch before, when she saw it with her own eyes, Tang Tang was really relieved.
 
It seems that the learning atmosphere of P University is quite good and Xiao Mo has obviously relaxed a lot.
 
Tang Tang naturally doesn’t know that it’s not just school life that made An Xumo improve evidently. On the other hand, the man with the greatest credit has no intention to show it, he is concentrating on choosing breakfast for his younger brother.
 
“Brother,” An Xumo called out to him, his voice still somewhat restrained, “I’m not hungry……”
 
He went to bed so late last night that he naturally had no appetite when he was woken up in the morning. The only progress was that he could call out his brother smoothly.
 
“Long ride on the road.” Zhou Jinchen only said and pushed the things in the tray over.
 
After breakfast, the people set off. When he got into the car, An Xumo still didn’t react until the car was getting closer to the destination. It was only then did he look at Zhou Jinchen as an afterthought.
 
The man sitting beside him immediately noticed his sight, “What’s wrong, carsickness?”
 
“No,” An Xumo shook his head, he hesitantly said, “Brother, do you want to come too……?”
 
Zhou Jinchen looked at him, “Tang Tang didn’t tell you about today’s work?”
 
“Yes.” An Xumo said, “She said to shoot the cover for Ming Entertainment.”
 
Zhou Jinchen raised his eyebrows and his magnetic voice carried some imperceptible pleasure.
 
“Double cover.”
 
An Xumo froze for a moment, “……Double?”
 
As for whom the other person is, one should be able to guess when one thinks about it.
 
The cover that An Xumo is going to shoot this time belongs to Ming Entertainment. The Ming Entertainment magazine is one of the top five fashion magazines and the candidates for the covers of the top five magazines are the most popular artists and models nowadays. They represent the top fashion resources and commercial value. With Ming Entertainment’s men’s magazine, Zhou Jinchen has been able to win five major magazine slams but for An Xumo, this is the first time he has been on the top five.
 
Top fashion resources are not much easier than the big director of a movie. The team had already prepared for a long-term attack but they did not expect to receive the invitation of Ming Entertainment at all. At that time, Tang Tang looked at it three times in a row to confirm that it was true. 
 
But sitting in the car, next to the man, An Xumo was vaguely aware of something.
 
He remembered the expensive gifts given to the media in his name on his eighteenth birthday and also remembered that in the magazines he had brought before, Zhou Jinchen’s covers were all single covers.
 
He has access to this resource……I think it’s because of my brother ba.
 
Last night’s encounter removed the huge stone engraved with the word ‘mother’ from the bottom of An Xumo’s heart, taking the load off and stripping away the sharpest pains. And after the emotions gradually returned to normal, An Xumo couldn’t help but feel a little shaken by the ‘stimulated romance as therapy’.
 
Perhaps…..
 
It’s just that for now, he doesn’t dare think about it deeply yet.
 
The vehicle passed without hindrance. After arriving at the Ming Entertainment Group’s building, the prepared working group soon rejoined the road with the two. What they are going to shoot this time is not a studio film, but a location and the shooting time last about two or three days. According to the person in charge, there are even filming plans for horseback riding. (E/N: Lol. Covering the other horseback riding memory. T/N: Lmao. True.)
 
The group left B City and headed north to N City where the venue was located. The theme color of this shooting is autumn yellow and the scene is mainly selected in two places. One is the Ye Mountain covered with maple trees and the second is the grassland where the grass leaves turning yellow. The Ye Mountain has wooden houses and the grassland has fences. It has both natural scenery and man-made fire, the filming effect is expected to be good.
 
The team first drove to the grassland, which is a privately contracted place. To be precise, it’s actually a horse farm and the horses to be rented are also kept in this place. The working group had already negotiated a contract with the owner of the horse farm and after the gatekeeper let them go, they drove into the open, endless meadow.
 
The scenery was magnificent all around, An Xumo kept looking out the window as soon as the car pulled in. The team stopped at the selected location and the working group counted the equipment while the boy walked around the perimeter.
 
The soft, grass leaves swayed in the wind, like a golden ocean. When one is in the middle of it, one’s mood will naturally brighten.
 
When An Xumo returned after looking around, the costume team was already dismantling the props. He immediately saw the long box placed in the pile of props. After seeking permission from the staff, he carefully took the thing over.
 
On the soft and smooth brocade lay a black and shiny hard long whip. The long whip has smooth lines and cold luster, and the hard body of the whip is the length of a man’s arm. With a leather-wrapped handle on one end and a flat whip beat on the other. ²T/N: Oya? What is this k*$#y thing!! HAHAHAHA. E/N: Is this foreshadowing HAHAHAHAHA. T/N: Apologies for our corrupted minds lmao but I’m sure everyone thought of it too~~ *winks
 
An Xumo had never seen such a thing but was attracted by it at first glance.
 
“What is this? Is it also for shooting too?” He asked the staff on the side.
 
The little brother nodded, “Yes, this is a horsewhip.”
 
Seeing An Xumo’s eyes light up all of a sudden, the little brother hurriedly added, “but this is not for you.”
 
“Huh?” An Xumo was stunned for a moment.
 
The little brother pointed to the man standing next to him, “It’s for Mr. Zhou.”
 
Zhou Jinchen, who was envied by his own younger brother, did not notice this matter.
 
His attention at this time is focused on a young man talking with the person in charge.
 
An Xumo, who had put down the box, came over and followed Zhou Jinchen’s line of sight, also noticed the figure.
 
“Yi?” An Xumo said in surprise. “That seems to be my classmate in P University. I didn’t expect to meet him here……”
 
Before the boy could say the other person’s name, Zhou Jinchen had already silently pronounced the three words.
 
The one who hugged his younger brother on the back of the horse, dr4p3d his coat over Xiao Mo, and almost had a scandal with Xiao Mo,
 
Yin Hanxing.

Chapter 96 – Found out about An He
 
Yin Hanxing is handsome and eye-catching, and his movements and posture are elegant enough to be singled out. Among all the young college students, his temperament is really different. Coupled with his personality that is easily influenced by the collective atmosphere, it’s difficult for anyone not to be impressed by his graceful demeanor in such a crowded situation.
 
If the person being invited was another person, I’m afraid that they would have fallen into Yin Hanxing’s voice and smile on the spot.
 
However, unlike other ordinary college students, An Xumo had already spent a year in the entertainment industry. Not to mention, all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women, even Zhou Jinchen who had been elected as ‘Mr. Charming’ by fashion magazines for three consecutive years, An Xumo had spent so much time with him.
 
So now, although he was curious about Yin Hanxing’s behavior, his heart didn’t really waver much.
 
An Xumo nodded and said with his usual tone, “Okay, thank you.”
 
The white horse had a double saddle, presumably prepared in advance for this event. An Xumo had no previous experience of riding horses. However, the white horse was very tame and with Yin Hanxing looking after him, he stepped onto the back of the horse smoothly.
 
After An Xumo sat down, Yin Hanxing also turned over and leaped up. Although the location of the white horse had been separated by the barrier, outside is still a sea of people. The surrounding eyes also gathered which was full of envy and curiosity.
 
An Xumo has been used to the feeling of being looked at but didn’t care about it. He only felt the saddle sunk slightly as Yin Hanxing sat on it.
 
In the autumn tiger raging season,¹A period of hot weather during the traditionally cooler months, also known as Indian Summer in English. although An Xumo has worn long sleeves, his clothes are still light and thin. There isn’t enough space on the horseback, coupled with Yin Hanxing who is responsible for controlling the direction, the distance between the two is unlikely to be much, and being in such close contact with people, An Xumo will be inevitably a little uncomfortable.
 
Ignoring the pressure from the close proximity behind him, the feeling of riding a horse is still refreshing. Yin Hanxing is also quite serious, in addition to teaching him the most energy-saving riding posture. After An Xumo adapted, he also let the person try to tighten the horse’s belly and have the white horse walk a few steps faster.
 
The barrier basically ran through more the half of the venue and the same ride lasted for about ten minutes. Despite the fact that one could see around them were only dark crowds and mobile phones being held up, the ride wasn’t a bad experience overall.
 
However, this incident can only be considered as an episode. The next day, An Xumo received a work notice from Tang Tang and he soon forgot about riding with him.
 
Nonetheless, while he didn’t care, someone has been brooding about this matter all along.
 
After the show was recorded, the artists were finally allowed to leave. Yet, after coming back from CCTV,²China Central TelevisionZhou Jinchen’s expression wasn’t very good. When he received the news that someone intended to speculate on An Xumo’s school news, his expression became more and more gloomy.
 
What the other party wants to speculate is the news of An Xumo and Yin Hanxing. From the captured news, several photos that were going to be released were also explosive enough.
 
A set of pictures shows Yin Hanxing and An Xumo riding together. The angle of the photo is very subtle with the two people riding together in a position similar to a hug. Yin Hanxing held the reins through An Xumo’s waist as if he was holding the person in his arms. During this period, the two were still talking, and their actions and manners are very intimate.
 
The other set of pictures is a sneak shot from a distance, two people standing in the corridor. The first one is Yin Hanxing still wearing his coat and the next one is worn on An Xumo.
 
At first glance, this kind of information is a premeditated plan, so in addition to intercepting the news, Zhou Jinchen also used his public relations team to contact the media. The news was really stopped but they didn’t find out where the news actually came from.
 
What made Zhou Jinchen even more irritable was that no matter how he tried to handle the matter calmly, he still couldn’t hold down the negative feeling that was surging deep in his chest.
 
He didn’t want to see An Xumo getting close to other people.
 
From the reporter, Zhou Jinchen had already learned the reasons for this incident. Riding together was a lottery draw. He changed his coat because An Xumo went to the faculty to get a leave slip in order to go out for a filming event. As a result, he bumped into Yin Hanxing who was carrying coffee and the coffee spilled on him. An Xumo agreed to Yin Hanxing’s proposal and temporarily wore the other party’s coat to cover the coffee stain.
 
However knowing these reasons, there was no way to ease Zhou Jinchen’s displeasure in his heart.
 
He asked Li Qiucheng and the other party said that this reaction is called jealousy. The feeling of jealousy is so agitating that Zhou Jinchen wants to pull An Xumo back to his side and make the other party full of him as before.
 
Only him.
 
Perhaps, Zhou Jinchen would have really done so if he had not taken into account An Xumo’s condition.
 
Nonetheless now, he can’t.
 
Just at this time, Zhou Jinchen received another piece of feedback from the previous investigation.
 
After reading through it, An Xumo also came back from school.
 
Due to the recording of the program, An Xumo hasn’t seen Zhou Jinchen these days. It’s certainly not true to say that there is no fluctuation in his heart but An Xumo is becoming more and more skilled in hiding this change.
 
But when he saw his brother tonight, in addition to the joy of being vaguely active and pressed down by hard work, An Xumo gave birth to another strange feeling.
 
He felt as if he was locked up.
 
This feeling is difficult to describe in words, when An Xumo tried to find out the reason, he couldn’t find any obvious differences. The only one who came in contact with him was Zhou Jinchen. The man’s gaze is still deep and bottomless, and when his eyes sweep over, one has to feel the pressure.
 
It’s just that An Xumo’s acting lessons are not yet fully developed and he still has a lot of places he lacks before he can interpret eye contact.
 
Zhou Jinchen brought supper, a pumpkin and millet porridge where the pumpkin and millet are almost invisibly cooked, leaving only the strong-scented soup; sweet and delicious and easy to digest that even if eaten after dinner, it will not put a burden to the stomach.
 
An Xumo finished the small bowl of porridge in silence and was about to take the opportunity to put the bowl away to leave the living room when Zhou Jinchen stopped him.
 
“I found out about An He.”
 
Hearing this name, An Xumo found that the sweetness between his lips and teeth turned into complete bitterness. It even created an illusion that was almost spicy, which made people very uncomfortable. He immediately wanted to get up and leave, far away from the name, closing the door and isolating it.
 
But he did not have the strength to stand up and his wrist was grasped by the man opposite him.
 
Zhou Jinchen held An Xumo’s cold and shivering wrist which was so thin that it could be circled by two fingers. He toned down his voice.
 
“Xiao Mo, things are not that bad. You should know the truth.”
 
An Xumo looked up at him stiffly, his body still trembling.
 
“What……truth?”
 
The situation back then was very complicated. From the time it was found out that Zhou Yunshan was infertile, the Zhou family firmly blocked the matter. Since then, they have been declaring to the public that Zhou Yunshan was infatuated by An He, and Zhou Jinchen didn’t investigate deeply before the old photo of the three was given to An Xumo as a gift.
 
“I need to apologize to you,” Zhou Jinchen said in a low voice, “for the previous reckless gift and the video call recordings I pulled up without permission.”
 
An Xumo didn’t say anything. He looked cold even though the room was at a constant temperature system.
 
Zhou Jinchen continued to explain to him. In that video call, An He secretly changed the concepts in many narratives. One of the most straightforward things was that after Zhou Yunshan got sick, the hospital hadn’t even detected his sperm abnormality and Zhou Yunshan had already filed for divorce from An He.
 
In order to make up for the previous incident, Zhou Yunshan gave An He a large sum of money and gave her a green card status to settle down in a new environment —— so An He would be able to settle in Hollywood later.
 
But An He didn’t agree to the divorce.
 
After learning that Zhou Yunshan’s illness was incurable and even critical, the first thing An He did was to run to the babysitter and bring in An Xumo who had been ignored before. She wanted to take the time to repair the relationship between mother and son so that she could raise An Xumo after Zhou Yunshan’s death and remain in the Zhou family to live a life of luxury.
 
“I still remember this incident,” Zhou Jinchen’s voice was slightly lowered; relaying that it still couldn’t dull the anger when he just recalled the incident. “You were very good when you were a child, you didn’t cry when you were held. In an attempt to create an illusion that you can’t live without her, An He cries every time the babysitter comes to hold you, saying that you don’t want to be held by anyone else.”
 
An Xumo lowered his eyes, his face becoming more and more transparent, and even his trembling eyelashes cast a deep shadow on his pale eyelids.
 
“Perhaps the memory will be biased but I found the chef and babysitter back then,” Zhou Jinchen said, “they confirmed that An He added grounded poppy seed in the milk powder and food prepared for you so that you would only want to eat what she fed.”
 
After that, Zhou Yunshan was found to have insufficient sperm vitality and the fact that the child was not his biological son was exposed and An He’s plan fell through. Even so, she stayed with the Zhou family until she was kicked out, and took a lot of jewelry before she left.
 
“If she does stay, it will never be a good thing for you either.” Zhou Jinchen said in a deep voice. “Xiao Mo, what is right and what is wrong is a matter for the previous generation. Your birth did not bring the so-called indelible harm to An He.”
 
“An He will receive the punishment she deserves and you don’t need to add more pressure to yourself because of it.”
 
An Xumo listened in silence and it wasn’t until Zhou Jinchen finished that he moved his wrist one beat late.
 
Zhou Jinchen didn’t let go of his hand.
 
“But,” An Xumo’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were empty, his breathing began to become difficult again, “no one is still willing to accept my existence……”
 
He pronounced word by word, “Even the biological parents are the same, aren’t they?”
 
“If I wasn’t expected by any of them from the beginning…..”
 
An Xumo who was cold and trembling was suddenly hugged by a strong and powerful embrace.
 
He doesn’t know when the man had approached from across the table. He held the slim and fragile boy in his arms tightly and whispered in his ear.
 
“It’s not no one, there is me.”
 
His voice is the usual mellow and magnetic but with a rare point of caution.
 
“Me wanting you, is that okay?”

Jie Jie: I know everyone must be waiting for a face slap of An He (including me), but sadly, that’s all there is, iirc. The author didn’t focus much on this aspect.

Chapter 95 – Expressing goodwill one after the other

When he first received the card wrapped in a pink envelope, An Xumo was also stunned for a moment.

The person who came to deliver the letter was a girl with short hair, not very tall. She came and went in a hurry. An Xumo also didn’t see the other party’s appearance clearly. Since it’s a large class, the classroom of this class uses the kind of a stairs classroom with large space. An Xumo sat together with his roommate, he’s in the middle of the row so it wasn’t convenient for him to get in and out. The girl handed over the letter, hurriedly said “for you”, and left. By the time he reacted, he had no chance to catch up.

The envelope isn’t sealed and one can see half of the card inside when turned over. An Xumo pulled the card out, the pink handwriting on it is very exposed.

There were many eyes gathered around. After all, regardless of academic performance, the young people seated in the classroom are full of curiosity. An Xumo quickly took a glimpse at the card, then put it back into the envelope, and placed it to the corner of the table.

At that moment, the teacher of the class came in, and the room quickly quieted down.

This is a non-specialized basic theory course, that’s why there are so many classes held together. The teacher’s voice even had to be amplified with a loudspeaker to make sure that it can be heard in every corner. The class also counted for credits and grades so An Xumo quickly put this little incident behind him and concentrated on listening to the class.

However, it didn’t end there. During break time, An Xumo was chatting with Hu Xiaoxu. As they were walking, Hu Xiaoxu poked An Xumo, signaling him to look up.

When An Xumo looked up, he saw the previous girl was standing in the row in front of them again.

The girl’s eyes lingered on the envelope on the corner of the table for a moment before she stammered and spoke, “The letter, you, have you read it?”

An Xumo looked at her, “En.”

The girl didn’t seem to know how to respond so she just stood there stiffly.

During the break, many people in the classroom were walking around. Coupled with the space in the stair-like classroom was large, the people who noticed the situation on their side were much less before class. However, in the direction that the girl went over, a group of people got together and kept looking at their way.

Their eyes were too focused and their faces were completely unfamiliar that An Xumo soon noticed something strange over their side. What’s even stranger is that those people didn’t look like freshmen; there were no books in front of them.

The girl kept stuttering but couldn’t say the words clearly. However, Hu Xiaoxu who was on the side quickly asked, “Are you guys playing dare, ah?”

The expression of the girl in front of them suddenly became more and more embarrassed. She stood there awkwardly and reluctantly squeezed out a cry, “Hmm.”

Hu Xiaoxu looked at the envelope and then at the group of people who were blatantly casting their eyes over. He couldn’t help but say, “You guys are too boring ba.”

An Xumo looked at the girl’s flushed face and didn’t say anything more. He has after all been in the entertainment industry for a year and didn’t care too much about this kind of petty pranks. Moreover, if one were to actually investigate it, the other party can say that it was a joke before the students but any action made by An Xumo would be likely choreographed beyond recognition.

He raised his hand and pushed the letter back without saying anything and only mentioning, “It’s almost time for class. For games and such, it’s better to wait after class to play with those who want to participate.”

The girl took the letter and hurriedly went away with her head down but she didn’t sit back in her original position. Instead, she hastily packed up her things and left the classroom directly.

The group of people who were staring at their side previously glanced at each other and also got up and left with a huff.

Hu Xiaoxu looked at the backs of those people and couldn’t help but frown.

“What kind of people are these ah.”

An Xumo patted his arm. Hu Xiaoxu was younger and he always unconsciously treated the other party as his younger brother.

Zhao Yongjing on the side glanced up at the group, “Perhaps that girl was also forced to come over to them as a pastime.”

He pulled off his pen’s cap, “All right, don’t pay attention to them. It’s time for class ba.”

After the lesson was over, the four of them went to the nearest cafeteria and ate together. After the meal, Zhao Yongjing went to an interview, and Shan Huoxue wanted to go to the mailroom to get something sent from home, leaving Hu Xiaoxu and An Xumo to walk together towards the dormitory.

On the way back, there weren’t many people around. Soon, An Xumo became aware of the line of sight following him. He looked back several times and when he turned on a corner, he saw a low-key and an unfamiliar figure.

The man was spotted by An Xumo and didn’t have the intention of hiding but instead, also nodded towards him.

An Xumo quickly withdrew his eyes and continued to discuss the topic with Hu Xiaoxu the same way but his heart hasn’t been able to calm down.

This person isn’t the first one. These days, An Xumo has detected three or four unfamiliar faces around him in rotation and there may be more of them coming he probably doesn’t recognize.

The reactions of these people were without exception, they all followed not far behind An Xumo. Once there’s something unusual around, they will be the first to check.

An Xumo thought that these are probably the men that his brother had said he would leave behind.

Although, knowing that the purpose of leaving these people is to protect him from the camera but the truth is, no one would feel unconcerned about being followed every day.

However, An Xumo also has no way to refuse this kind of thing. He has long since ceased to be on a stage of capriciousness. Although the public is now overwhelmingly praising him, he was deliberately vilified by many people before when the news of him attending P University was first announced. Even if An Xumo himself doesn’t mind being secretly filmed, he must consider the impact on the whole team after these secret shots are taken to make up black material.

In the final analysis, the reason also lies in his identity as an artist.

An Xumo couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He had previously resolutely decided to take a break from school to become a trainee. He went back and forth and surprisingly, he had to guard against sneak shots back to school and also considered returning to school as a way to relax from the pressure.

Moreover, this past year, he also made the decision to leave behind the sun he once held most dear.

If I had known that……

Forget it. An Xumo shook his head and didn’t think further.

His anxiety hasn’t fully been treated; it’s really not suitable to think too much.

Cherish the present.

–

At the end of the day’s lesson, An Xumo didn’t go to self-study in the evening as usual. Today is the start of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments; every club is preparing to recruit new members collectively. Although An Xumo is unlikely to have time to join a club, it’s rare to have such an experience, and he also plans to hang out with Hu Xiaoxu.

During this period of time, in order to relieve the dual pressure on An Xumo’s body and mind, the team basically didn’t arrange anything for him and only let him adapt to the student life of P University without worry. However, from the communication with Tang Tang from time to time, An Xumo is also clear that he can’t stay idle like this. He couldn’t miss too many acting and dance classes, and before long, some activities and endorsements that he had to attend would be on his agenda.

This is the only free time left which is why An Xumo is thinking of experiencing much different life as much possible.

There are a large number of clubs in P University with a hundred flowers blossoming. Some of the oldest clubs have won numerous awards and are well-known nationwide. The annual recruitment is one of the most important itineraries of the club and it’s natural to imagine the hustle and bustle of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.

When An Xumo and Hu Xiaoxu arrived at the Triangle, each club had already set up their own booths and began to explain with constant concentration to the new students. Neither of them had any specific goal so they walked around and watched which was quite leisurely.

There are many famous clubs in P University, including the three largest and established business natures of the economics and management clubs, and the mountain climbing club that has been on China Television and so on. Nonetheless, in the evening, the most enthusiastic event was a new club that was established not long ago.

All the clubs were basically active near their respective booths but in the middle diameter of a whole circle of booths, an intermittent isolation zone was pulled up by some unknown person with a warning post. Because there were too many people gathered around the barrier, the two didn’t squeeze in to watch. They just heard that there is a new club doing publicity and that even a leaflet is hard to get.

The two of them were fortunate to get two leaflets despite not squeezing in.

After seeing the content of the colorful print, An Xumo realized why there were so many people gathered here.

—— this is actually an Equestrian Club.

“Look at what it says, suburban pasture, horse racing, complete set of harnesses……” Hu Xiaoxu couldn’t help but sigh. “This club is too rich ma, where did they pull in the sponsorship ah?”

An Xumo also turned the leaflet over but what he notices was another paragraph, “The Battle of the Hundred Regiments night surprise event……Hey, there is a lucky draw tonight?”

“Yes, people who get the leaflet will be eligible for the lucky draw. It seems to say that it’s a live event tonight. They should also be responsible for this isolation zone.” Hu Xiaoxu said then suddenly paused.

“He, they didn’t really bring the horse here, right……”

“It’s impossible, right?” An Xumo guessed. “The wild riding route is quite difficult and with so many people here, the school is also unlikely to approve it for the sake of safety.”

The two people briefly exchanged opinions but the time hasn’t yet arrived, they guessed that it was useless. They both took the leaflet first and went to wander around nearby.

After walking around, it wasn’t long before someone turned on the loudspeaker and announced the official start of the Equestrian Club’s raffle.

This club is probably the route of the rich and overbearing, giving dozens of plush toys for the third prize alone. In addition, there are fifteen mobile hard drives with free equestrian information as well as three first prize places ——tickets to the racecourse.

Among these prizes, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the three tickets to the racecourse. When the three numbers were announced, the noise became increasingly louder each time. The three people who went forward to receive the prizes were extremely happy.

Hu Xiaoxu was lucky enough to win a mobile hard drive and when the first prize was finally drawn, he made a point of helping An Xumo to listen along.

However, in the end, the loudspeaker did not call An Xumo’s number.

After the first prize was drawn, the two planned to go back to the dormitory. Although the various activities on the scene are very lively, they had made their own decision so they didn’t delay too much.

However, at this time, the Equestrian Club’s loudspeaker sounded again.

“Tonight, we also have a special prize on the spot which is also the last place of our equestrian club for this draw. Let’s take a look. The number drawn this time is ——”

Hu Xiaoxu tugged on An Xumo’s sleeve, “An-zi, there’s still one more spot left. Let’s wait and see.”

An Xumo laughed at him, “It’s impossible, let’s……”

Before he had finished his words, the last lucky number had been announced on the loudspeaker.

—— “AJ385!”

Hu Xiaoxu froze for a moment, “What number?”

An Xumo looked down at the upper right corner of the leaflet he was holding.

AJ385.

“……”

By the time the two struggled to squeeze back in again, the head of the club was already announcing the awards over the loudspeaker.

In fact, needless to say, the screams at the scene spoke for themselves.

—— On-site horse-riding together.

The original one and a half meter wide isolation zone was meticulously sealed with barrier boards and at the end of the zone, a pure, white tall horse whose coat color was still extremely bright in the night light, quietly snorted.

It does seem to be well-trained, even the intense screams at the scene didn’t disturb it.

More relaxed than the white horse is the handsome young man sitting on the horse’s back. He also wore a white riding suit, which didn’t look too bloated but made his figure more and more slender.

An Xumo was led to the horse by the people from the club. The loudspeaker behind him was still introducing, “Please control your emotions, and the safety of this event is solely the responsibility of our club. The person riding the horse is our president, he obtained a professional jockey qualification three years ago……”

The president rode on his horse and looked down towards An Xumo. He curved his lips and moved neatly to roll off and dismount, causing another burst of awe around him.

After gently patting the white horse’s neck, the youth walked over and extended his hand to An Xumo.

An Xumo was a beat slower to put his hand on, the other party didn’t directly help him up. He slightly bent down and touched An Xumo’s fingertips.

When he raised his head again, the smile on his lips became more and more gentle. Only then did An Xumo realize that this person actually has peach blossom eyes.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Yin Hanxing.” The peach blossom-eyed young man’s voice is also very nice. It emits an intoxicating fragrance like an aged wine in the night, “May I ask your surname, sir?”

An Xumo said, “An.”

“Mr. An.” Yin Hanxing’s temperament is extraordinarily natural. When he moves down, he doesn’t feel abrupt or out of place. On the contrary, he feels that he should be too elegant. Together with the white horse behind him, he looks even more naturally noble.

He looked at An Xumo, his peach blossom eyes become more and more touching, “May I invite you to ride with me?”

[you – formal]

The author has something to say:

Ah, in fact, the brother is also in Cloud Sucking Mo.

➀ Once again, overhead, overhead. Don’t worry about whether there will be equestrian clubs in ordinary universities la. It’s the plot that needs to be made up by you!
 ➁ Hint: The girl who came up to deliver the letter and the equestrian president are foreshadowing. I don’t know if anyone can guess the identity of the equestrian president. The hint is in the name _(:3)∠)_

Chapter 94 – Elder brother’s love for the younger brother is eager
 
As soon as An Xumo understood the meaning of Qi Liuming’s words a little, Zhou Jinchen walked over.
 
The man nodded towards Qi Liuming who left to check out at the front desk. No one else passed through the corridor, leaving only the two of them standing in the same place.
 
An Xumo looked at Zhou Jinchen and asked, “Brother Qi, he……”
 
Zhou Jinchen said directly, “He’s an intern in my company. If there are no problems, he can become a regular employee after graduation.”
 
That’s it. An Xumo moved his eyes away and whispered, “Thank you, brother.”
 
Being sent to school all the way from S City has been unexpected and deliberately looked for help from seniors which is incomparable care. If it has been the An Xumo a year ago, even if it was only a few months ahead, the An Xumo at that time would have been flattered by this kind of careful concern.
 
But now, his reaction was only an inexplicable calm.
 
Perhaps, something should be said for this unfailing care. Yet, An Xumo couldn’t think of anything to say in the end, and after repeating “thank you”, he turned his head and walked back to the private room by himself.
 
The dinner was full of wine and food to everyone’s heart content, and the atmosphere was delightful. After eating, several people walked back to the dormitory together. When they arrived downstairs, Qi Liuming bid farewell to them and left first. An Xumo thought that Zhou Jinchen was also leaving but the other party stood at the doorway and said to him, “I’ll wait for you here.”
 
“Wait for me?” An Xumo didn’t understand. He first turned his head and waved for his other roommates to go up before looking back, “Is there anything else?”
 
Zhou Jinchen said, “Go to the place where you live.”
 
“……?” An Xumo was puzzled. “I live in the dormitory.”
 
“The conditions here are not very good,” Zhou Jinchen said succinctly, “and it’s not safe.”
 
An Xumo laughed in spite of himself, “I have always lived in the dormitory before, what can be unsafe here……”
 
Zhou Jinchen didn’t explain anything more and just pulled out a video from the phone.
 
It was a clip sent by someone on WeChat. The video was a little shaky but the content inside was clear enough to see. In the video, a person pulled out the hidden lens from the grass, and then signaled the other party to hand over the memory card that was secretly filmed.
 
Looking at the time, it should be when they just returned from the restaurant.
 
An Xumo pursed his lips.
 
Today, the activities at P University made him think only about school life but almost forgot his other identity.
 
“Can’t I live in the dormitory anymore?” He asked meekly.
 
“It depends,” Zhou Jinchen didn’t say much. “It’s late, tell your roommates. We should go.”
 
An Xumo went upstairs with his head down. After a while, he walked down with his luggage.
 
The car waited outside the school gate, and after receiving the person, he directly drove towards the destination. At night, B City’s lights become a river, the lights are bright, and in a trance, it seems to overlap with the prosperous S City.
 
The journey wasn’t far and after a while, the car turned to an alleyway. The road was a little narrow at first but it soon opened up and the way was very smooth. The car finally stopped in front of a concierge, the two got out of the car, and someone immediately greeted them and opened the gate from inside.
 
An Xumo originally thought that they would go to a hotel but that was clearly not the case in the surrounding area. The nearby buildings are not very tall but are mainly bungalows, the shape of the buildings in the night are hard to see. Nonetheless, when you walk in through the gate, the situation inside becomes completely different again.
 
Directly facing the door of the house is a screen wall, behind which the line of sight suddenly opens up. The courtyard has obviously been just renovated; the four sides are modern metal curtain walls with neat and simple bricks under the feet and above the eaves. Inside the courtyard, there is a shallow marble pool as well as thriving old trees growing in abundance. Completely different styles are combined in an unexpected way but they don’t seem abrupt at all.
 
An Xumo doesn’t know much about architecture and interior design. He only knows that he finds it all very harmonious and pleasing to the eye as soon as he glances over.
 
The house was unique and unexpected, the boy changed his previous dull state, and even his eyes didn’t seem to get enough. When Zhou Jinchen led him to the residence, what awaited An Xumo was an even bigger surprise.
 
The bedroom is wide and bright with all the home furnishings, the bed and pillows are An Xumo’s favorite soft style, and there is a whole wall of bookcases next to the desk which looks satisfying. Not only that, behind the sliding door on the right side of the bedroom, there is also a dance practice room, the floor is covered with wooden flooring, and there are also mats of different shapes along the wall.
 
Even if An Xumo had no additional requirements for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, when he first saw the layout of this place, he couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
 
This is simply the highest configuration of the ideal place to live.
 
It was late at night, Zhou Jinchen didn’t delay much. After simply taking the person around a few major locations, he let the boy go back to rest first. In fact, the old and rundown courtyard isn’t really suitable for living but after the renovation, the water and electricity system was completely replaced with new ones, and the building materials of each room came with warmth and proper sound insulation, now this house is no different from the original high-rise villa.
 
Early the next morning, An Xumo was sent back to school. P University’s military training was arranged in August after their first year. Now, the new students don’t have military courses and after a short adaptation to life, the busy study life began.
 
He said that he would accompany¹eading or practicing together. This is mostly what it meant in the contexts when the author mentions that Jinchen ‘accompanying’ Xumo. him, but Zhou Jinchen can’t be idle and do nothing all the time. Although he fixed the main activities in B City, some activities that needed to go out still can’t be completely avoided. In addition, An Xumo stays on campus and only coming back to be with him in the evening. The time they spend together had been irregular and hasn’t really increased much.
 
As long as time permits, Zhou Jinchen would rush back to live together with his brother. However, not long after school started, An Xumo got used to eating at school. Apart from the occasional evening class, he would usually self-study at school. Compared with the beginning of the school, he came back later and later, and sometimes he even falls asleep straight away in the car that picked him up.
 
After being carried off several times by Zhou Jinchen, An Xumo developed the habit of setting an alarm clock after getting into the car. Therefore, a few days later, Zhou Jinchen didn’t even have one of the only benefits, so that in the short period of time, he was a little too sharp on the screen or on huge images in the newspapers, which made him look increasingly chilly.
 
However, with such a face, even if Zhou Jinchen is facially paralyzed, there won’t be fewer people who come to him. Even after this, two internationally renowned high luxury brands took the initiative to express their intention to contact, saying that after the assessment, they felt that Zhou Jinchen’s temperament is very consistent with their new product positioning.
 
Because he had to accompany him before, Zhou Jinchen didn’t take any long-term activities that needed to accomplish, and now there is also no script of too high quality, Zhou Jinchen’s career has temporarily entered a slightly idle stage. It’s not surprising that now, by chance, he has successfully accepted two big-name endorsements, and even Xin Zimai flew in from S City to help him negotiate the endorsement contract.
 
The business was satisfied. In another area, Zhou Jinchen wants to get the results of the matter but has made only a little progress.
 
After gradually adapting to the start of the school year, An Xumo became more and more interested in school life. Before his debut, he had been living a step-by-step school life, even when he was filming the 《Different Roads》, An Xumo was reading comprehension topics to analyze the script. He will like P University inside, especially the strong learning atmosphere in the Math department, which is also a normal thing.
 
Although adapting to the new life is definitely a good thing for An Xumo, as a result, Zhou Jinchen and his younger brother’s originally not many contact opportunities become more and more pathetic. If he hadn’t let up, An Xumo would even be thinking of moving back to school.
 
Time doesn’t move according to people’s mood, and soon, a month’s days will pass. As the celebration is approaching in October, China Television Compan held a tribute event, several artists in the entertainment industry received invitations as representatives, and Zhou Jinchen was one of them.
 
The recording of the program at China Television Company needs to follow the unified arrangement throughout the process. According to the prior notice, it should be recorded for two or three days. Therefore, although the location is in B City, Zhou Jinchen will not be able to return for a few days.
 
After leaving the housekeeper and driver with all the arrangements, Zhou Jinchen arrived at the China Television Company building. The program needed no less than three rehearsals before it could be presented to the most important people at the end. Thus, when he first arrived at the station, his schedule wasn’t too tight for the time being.
 
While waiting backstage, Zhou Jinchen also met a few familiar artists, and after a few brief conversations, he was called away by the assigned makeup artist.
 
China Television Company’s camera images are very different from the local station’s style. The lightning alone can darken the artists who are used to the local station’s friendly post-production by three degrees. In addition, they can’t use their own makeup artists, so even if they are happy to be invited by the station, many artists are still inevitably worried.
 
However, this kind of appearance-related matter is always out of the scope of Zhou Jinchen’s worry. What he really cares about is also different from the artists who came with him.
 
When the makeup artist first helped with the styling, there was a constant sound coming in from the Bluetooth headset in Zhou Jinchen’s right ear. The person who reported was so responsible that he even made it clear which cafeteria An Xumo went to today and what kind of meal he had.
 
Zhou Jinchen’s intention was to keep people at school to help An Xumo avoid harassment from the camera, as to why it evolved into this kind of real-time reporting……
 
It can only be attributed to the fact that the elder brother’s love for his younger brother is eager.
 
“It is ten minutes between classes and waiting for classes, Young Master An came to the classroom early with his roommates.”

The person in charge of reporting the situation had the status of an employee of P University so he could enter the classroom. After arriving at the classroom, he didn’t speak again but used text-to-speech and let the mechanical voice continue to report to Zhou Jinchen.
 
“This is a big class for the whole college taking together, there are five classes of students in the classroom, and Young Master An is sitting in the middle front.”
 
The voice came at the same time Zhou Jinchen’s phone shook a little in the right pocket but he was putting on makeup so he didn’t open the phone.
 
What came through the phone should be with the picture of An Xumo.
 
After listening to the simple report, seeing nothing unusual there, Zhou Jinchen intended to remove the headset. China Television Company will give a uniform style of headsets to those who participate in the celebration program and he will need to change to a new headset later.
 
However, before taking off the headset, the voice at the other end suddenly sounded again.
 
“There’s some movement near Young Master An Someone came on the way and handed him something.”
 
The incident was too sudden, the voice quickly changed from the mechanical voice to a real person’s voice and Zhou Jinchen also heard the noisy background sound coming from the classroom over there.
 
“It seems to be……a letter.”
 
“The envelope wasn’t sealed, Young Master An took a card from it, and his roommate came up to read it.” The person in charge of reporting spoke very fast but when he reached the end, he suddenly paused as if he was confirming something.
 
“The card says……I can’t read the words clearly but it seems to have a drawing of a pink heart.”
The noisy voices in the background at the other end became more and more obvious, and the reporter had to raise his voice a little.
 
“Listening to the chatter over there, it seems to be a……confession letter.”
