Chapter 3

January 28, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Zhan Pengcheng and Zhan Weiguang left one after the other.

       Every night before Zhan Weiyang went to bed, he heard that cold female voice telling him, “User’s score today: 50 points.”

       He thought glumly, Why did the initial score become so low? It would definitely upset Zhan Pengcheng if he found out.

       This condition lasted until Zhan Weiyang officially started school.

       He set two alarm clocks in the morning. Not long after the first one rang, he was about to fall asleep again. Before the second alarm clock rang, Auntie Luo knocked on the door outside and called him loudly, “Weiyang, get up. You’re going to be late!”

       Zhan Weiyang struggled to open his eyes.

       Auntie Luo had an imposing manner that wouldn’t relent until Zhan Weiyang got up and opened the door. She knocked on the door forcefully, making a loud banging sound, “Today is the first day of class; you can’t be late!”

       Zhan Weiyang could only reply loudly, “I’m up!”

       Auntie Luo did not continue to knock on the door but shouted at the door, “I’ll give you ten minutes. I’ll knock on the door again if you don’t come down for breakfast.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Right away!”

       He lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and opened the wardrobe to take out the school uniform he hadn’t worn for the entire summer vacation. He put it on slowly, then, half-squinting, opened the door and headed towards the bathroom.

       Zhan Weiyang was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, then lazily poured cold water on his face and used it to wash. However, when the cold water hit him, he became more awake. After washing and peeing, Zhan Weiyang came out of the bathroom, and the steps back to the room became faster.

       After folding the quilt first and then packing his schoolbag, it was exactly ten minutes when Zhan Weiyang went downstairs. He saw only his grandma sitting at the dining table. She was wearing a thin sweater over her short-sleeved coat, with her hands in the sleeves. The table in front of her was empty, apparently, she was waiting for Zhan Weiyang.

       Auntie Luo brought milk, eggs and steamed buns from the kitchen and placed them in front of Zhan Weiyang, urging him, “Eat quickly, don’t be late.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly picked up the buns with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.

       Grandma said, “Eat slowly, eat slowly, don’t choke.”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced back at the living room, then turned back with the bun in his mouth and asked, “Where’s Qing ge?”

       Auntie Luo habitually wiped the not-dirty dining table with a rag and said, “Qing ge doesn’t go to work until nine o’clock. He can’t get up that early.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Oh”.

       Grandma said, “Yangyang, study hard. In a few years, you will be able to sleep in when you go to university.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t know what to say, so he just nodded. By the time he finished eating the buns, Auntie Luo had already eagerly peeled off the egg shells for him. He was eating eggs and drinking milk at the same time. He was so anxious that he choked. He raised his hand to pat his chest and put down the bowl. He stood up and said, “I’m going to school.”

       Auntie Luo said, “Go quickly, go quickly.”

       Grandma waved her hand, “Be safe on the road.”

       Zhan Weiyang grabbed the schoolbag that was thrown on the chair next to him, slung the strap over one shoulder, and hurriedly walked to the door to change his shoes.

       Auntie Luo walked him to the door and stood by to watch him change his shoes. When he went out, she still said, “Hurry up, don’t be late.”

       Zhan Weiyang had no choice but to start running. He ran through a garden, slowed down and looked back. He found that Auntie Luo could no longer be seen, so he continued to slow down and walk forward.

       His mobile phone was in the trouser pocket of his school uniform. There were still forty minutes until class. He was still early and would not be late.

       After squeezing into the bus at the gate of the neighbourhood, Zhan Weiyang found several students wearing their school uniforms on the bus. The school was not far from home, and it only took more than ten minutes by bus. Sometimes, Zhan Weiyang also rode a bicycle, which took about the same amount of time as catching the bus.

       He stood in the middle corner of the bus, took out his mobile phone from his trousers pocket, and began to send a message to Chen Youyou: “When will you arrive at school?”

       When the bus arrived at the next stop, Chen Youyou didn’t reply to him. He had no choice but to stuff his cell phone into his trouser pocket and squeeze himself into the corner with the flow of people getting on the bus.

       The phone was pressed against his thigh through a thin layer of fabric. If Chen Youyou responded to a message, it would vibrate, and he would know it.

       Zhan Weiyang has been thinking about Beginner’s Love System these days. Before he went to bed last night, he was thinking that the first person he met at the entrance to the school today would be the one he was going to pursue, and he wondered what kind of person it would be. He suddenly remembered the tall and strong boy in Class 7. The boy glared at him fiercely in the corridor last time. If the first person he met were that kind of person, it would be difficult to pursue him. Or maybe if it was their class monitor, a very beautiful girl whose boyfriend was the president of the school student union, and it would be hard for him to pursue her.

       So he thought it would be great if that person were Chen Youyou. Chen Youyou was his good friend. It would be much easier to pursue him, and maybe he would get full marks soon.

       It was a pity that Chen Youyou never responded to his message.

       The closer the bus got to the school platform, the more students got on, and the entire bus was already full. Zhan Weiyang was not short, but he was still squeezed to the left and right. After finally reaching a stop in front of the school, the bus’s back door opened, and all the students who had just started the new semester flowed out.

       When he got off the bus, a girl was squeezed and almost fell down. Zhan Weiyang quickly reached out to support her. The girl blushed and thanked him.

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head, pulled the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, put his hands in his pants pockets and walked toward the school gate.

       There were people coming and going at the school gate. In addition to students, there were many parents dropping off their children. The driveway at the school gate was occupied by all kinds of cars. Traffic police rode their motorbikes to direct the traffic in front of the school, telling the parents to drive their cars away quickly.

       Zhan Weiyang stopped at the school gate and took out his mobile phone for the last time, but still didn’t see Chen Youyou’s reply.

       He looked around and saw people everywhere. All he heard in his ears were noisy conversations. The sun had come out, clinging to the last trace of summer heat. He couldn’t help but squint his eyes. He thought that maybe he shouldn’t cheat; maybe the System knew.

       So Zhan Weiyang took a deep breath, walked to the school gate, lowered his head and walked straight in without looking at anyone.

       He took five steps in total, counting silently in his mind before he bumped into someone else. He quickly raised his head and saw in front of him a tall, handsome young man, also wearing a school uniform, with the corners of his mouth pursed at a slightly serious angle.

       Zhan Weiyang heard a ‘ding’ in his head, and the female voice said to him: “The capture target has been confirmed.”

       The young man glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the school.

       Zhan Weiyang stood there and took a moment to react. He took his mobile phone out of his pocket and took a photo of the young man’s back to fix his target.

       Not long after that day, Zhan Weiyang found out that the young man’s name was Xie Ling, and he was a freshman in the school. During the opening ceremony, Xie Ling spoke on the podium on behalf of all the freshman students. He introduced his name to all the students in the school.

       Next to Zhan Weiyang stood Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou sounds like a girl’s name, but the person was actually a boy, about the same height as Zhan Weiyang, and very thin. During the summer vacation, his mother took me to the barbershop to get a haircut because there was chewing gum stuck in his hair, and his hair hadn’t grown out yet.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou looked up at Xie Ling on the podium at the same time.

       After a while, Zhan Weiyang lowered his voice and called Chen Youyou, “Chen Youyou.”

       Chen Youyou turned to look at him, “Huh?”

       Zhan Weiyang hesitated for a while and then said, “Look at that Xie Ling.”

       Chen Youyou’s face was full of confusion, “Huh?”

       Zhan Weiyang couldn’t explain the so-called Beginner’s Love System to him, but he needed some help from Chen Youyou. He often needed Chen Youyou’s help, and the most important thing was that Chen Youyou lent him homework to copy. And now, as a person who had never been in love or even had feelings for him since birth, he needed Chen Youyou to teach him how to have a relationship with a boy.

       He then made up his mind and said, “I’m going to pursue him.”

       “W-what?” Chen Youyou blurted out with wide eyes; his voice was a little loud, and the homeroom teacher standing in front of them glanced at them.

       Chen Youyou usually spoke very concisely. It was not that he didn’t like to talk, but he didn’t want to talk because he stutters. His family had taken him to various hospitals and institutions for correction since he was a child. Even now, he still couldn’t help but stuttering when he was anxious, like now.

Chapter 2

January 28, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       When Zhan Weiyang came down to the first floor, Pei Qing had come back from playing basketball. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking to his grandma.

       Grandma was seventy this year. The year before last, she had a fall when she was on a bus, and since then, she couldn’t get around much and didn’t go out much. Zhan Pengcheng hired a caregiver to take care of Grandma at home while also cooking for the children.

       The caregiver’s surname is Luo, and Zhan Weiyang called her Auntie Luo. Auntie Luo had been working at Zhan’s house for two years and had become familiar with the children. She often said that looking at Zhan Weiyang was like looking at her own children.

       Grandma was still wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a thin knitted sweater. Her slender figure seemed to sink into the sofa. He didn’t know what Pei Qing said to her, but her withered mouth opened into a full smile, and her eyes narrowed into deep, crinkled seams.

       Pei Qing was the first to notice Zhan Weiyang coming downstairs. He turned his head and looked over, smiled slightly and greeted, “Weiyang.”

       Grandma turned around and saw Zhan Weiyang and said, “Yangyang, you are awake from your nap?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, greeted “Grandma”, then looked at Pei Qing and greeted him “Qing ge”. After greeting them, Zhan Weiyang wanted to walk outside. He stopped after taking two steps, turned around and greeted “Auntie Luo” obediently, and then continued to walk to the door.

       As soon as he opened the door, his whole body was immersed in the warm sunshine. Despite the impending end of summer vacation, the summer heat persisted, reluctant to dissipate, enveloping everything with its lingering intensity.

       Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but squint his eyes and raise his head to let the sunlight shine from his forehead to his toes.

       Zhan Pengcheng drove a seven-seater off-road vehicle out of the garage and parked it in front of his house. He lowered the window and said to Zhan Weiyang, who was standing at the door basking in the sun, “Yangyang, get in the car quickly.” His tone was full of concern as if he couldn’t bear to see Zhan Weiyang sweat a little in the heat.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t move. He turned around and saw that Zhan Weiguang had come downstairs. He must have just taken a shower and changed clothes. He and Pei Qing were helping Grandma towards the outside, one on each side.

       Zhan Pengcheng got out of the car and opened the back seat door.

       Zhan Weiyang got into the car silently, got into the last row of seats and sat down alone.

       Today, the whole family went out for dinner together. Zhan Pengcheng was driving, Grandma and Aunt Luo sat in the middle row of seats, and Zhan Weiguang voluntarily gave the front passenger seat to Pei Qing. He moved to the back row, taking a seat with one space between him and Zhan Weiyang.

       Pei Qing was sitting in the passenger seat, making a phone call to a restaurant to reserve a table.

       The whole family seemed to like Pei Qing. Zhan Weiyang thought a little casually, yawned and put his forehead against the warm car window.

       The dinner was a roast duck.

       Zhan Weiyang liked roast duck very much. Although he didn’t like cucumbers and spring onions, it didn’t stop him from eating plump roast duck dipped in sauce and wrapped in thin wrapping.

       Every time they went out to eat roast duck, Zhan Pengcheng’s favourite thing was to wrap the roast duck for Zhan Weiyang. While he was wrapping it, he was still chatting with Pei Qing.

       Zhan Weiyang heard Zhan Pengcheng ask Pei Qing about his internship, and Pei Qing began to tell Zhan Pengcheng what the company where he was interning was like.

       They chatted for most of the meal, and when Zhan Weiyang was almost full, he heard Zhan Pengcheng suddenly say, “Weiguang will go back to school the day after tomorrow.”

       Zhan Weiguang had been absently playing with his mobile phone, and only then did he suddenly raise his head and look at Zhan Pengcheng.

       Zhan Pengcheng continued, “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. This trip out is quite troublesome, and it might take about a month. I don’t know if I can find time to come back in the middle of the trip.”

       Pei Qing had already put down his chopsticks. He leaned on the back of his chair and listened quietly to Zhan Pengcheng’s words.

       Zhan Pengcheng’s words were all addressed to Pei Qing, “At that time, there will only be you and Yangyang at home, as well as Grandma and Auntie Luo.”

       Pei Qing understood what Zhan Pengcheng meant and said, “I will take good care of the family. Don’t worry, Uncle.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at the remaining pieces of roast duck on the plate on the table and couldn’t help but pick up another piece with his chopsticks, dip it in the noodles sauce and put it directly into his mouth.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Auntie Luo does all the cooking and cleaning. In fact, you don’t have to do anything, just help look after Yangyang. You have a driving licence, right? I’ll leave the car keys behind. If there’s anything, like if Grandma isn’t feeling well, you help Yangyang.”

       Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Pei Qing, who happened to be looking towards him as well. As soon as their eyes made contact, Zhan Weiyang turned his head away.

       Pei Qing said, “I will.”

       Zhan Weiguang reached out and picked up a chopstick and pointed it at Zhan Weiyang, “Don’t cause trouble for Qing ge.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, but Zhan Pengcheng said, “Don’t bully your little brother.”

       Zhan Weiguang curled his lips disdainfully.

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Weiyang is very well-behaved.”

       “Ah—” For some reason, Zhan Pengcheng suddenly sighed softly. He thought for a while and then said to Pei Qing, “There’s one more thing that’s going to cause you some trouble. “

       Pei Qing said, “Uncle, please don’t mind me.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Yangyang is already a sophomore in high school after all. The day students at their school don’t have to attend evening self-study sessions. I think someone needs to be there to make sure he’s studying at home. Would it be too much trouble for you to keep an eye on him every night?”

       Pei Qing turned his head slightly and looked at Zhan Weiyang, smiling and said, “Of course it won’t. I also need to read books at night, so it’s just as well that I’m going to study with Weiyang.”

       Zhan Pengcheng sounded a little embarrassed, “Yangyang’s grades are not very good—” At this point, he quickly added, “He is either stupid or he has difficulty concentrating. If no one is supervising him, he will definitely not be able to concentrate on his studies.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma said next to him, “Not true, Yangyang is not stupid at all.”

       Zhan Weiyang licked a little sweet noodle sauce off his chopsticks, thinking about how Zhan Weiguang had said that he was stupid, but he didn’t care much about whether he was stupid or not.

       Pei Qing still had a smile on her face and said, “Weiyang is quite smart. Many children are smart, but they just don’t focus on studying.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded repeatedly. Obviously, the comment was well-received in his case.

       The family then liked Pei Qing even more.

       After dinner, they went home and went to their rooms to take a shower and go to bed.

       Grandma and Auntie Luo stayed on the first floor, Zhan Weiguang stayed alone on the third floor, and Zhan Weiyang, Zhan Pengcheng and Pei Qing’s rooms were all on the second floor.

       There were two bathrooms on the second floor, one in Zhan Pengcheng’s master bedroom and one shared in the corridor.

       Zhan Weiyang took his pyjamas and trousers and was about to take a shower, and just as he opened the door to his room, he saw that the door to Pei Qing’s room over the corridor was open.

       He didn’t know why the door was opened, so he quickly hid back and listened with his ear to the door as Pei Qing walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

       Zhan Weiyang waited for a while before coming out of the room. He walked to the bathroom door and, leaning against it, could hear the sound of water inside. It seemed like Pei Qing was taking a shower.

       He hesitated and took his clothes to Zhan Pengcheng’s room. He took a shower in the small bathroom in Zhan Pengcheng’s room and came out. Zhan Pengcheng was packing his luggage beside the bed. There was an open suitcase on the floor, half of which was already filled with things.

       Zhan Weiyang walked over and squatted next to Zhan Pengcheng.

       Zhan Pengcheng folded the clothes and put them down. He turned around and touched Zhan Weiyang’s head and said to him, “Dad would not be home. You must listen to what Qing gege and Grandma say.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Zhan Pengcheng sighed again for some reason. He raised his hand, hugged Zhan Weiyang’s head, and said, “It’s okay, Dad won’t be far away. If you need anything, just call Dad. Dad will be back soon; don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang let him hug without resisting.

       After hugging him for a while, Zhan Pengcheng let go, patted Zhan Weiyang on the shoulder and said, “Go to sleep. When you wake up, Dad will be gone.”

       Zhan Weiyang walked to the door and said to Zhan Pengcheng, “Dad, come back soon.”

       Zhan Pengcheng smiled, “Okay, son.”

Chapter 1

January 28, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       It was in the afternoon when Zhan Weiyang was hiding in Zhan Weiguang’s bathroom on the third floor to take a bath when he suddenly heard a mechanical, metallic, cold female voice.

       He was asleep at that time, and his body slid down unconsciously, and his mouth and nose were submerged under the water. Then he heard the female voice say: “The Beginner’s Love System activated, Username: Zhan Weiyang, Gender: Male, Age: 17 years old, Height: 174 cm.”

       Zhan Weiyang woke up abruptly, his body suddenly diving downwards. He thrust his head out of the water, crouching at the edge of the bathtub, coughing painfully.

       The female voice did not let him get away and continued: “System Task: Achieve a beginner love status. Task Target: The first person you encounter at the school gate on the first day of school.”

       The water on his head slid down Zhan Weiyang’s face. He lifted his hand and vigorously wiped the water off his face, trying to open his eyes wide as he searched the bathroom.

       The bathroom was small and surrounded by light green tiles. Zhan Weiyang could not find a woman talking or a loudspeaker.

       “User initial score: 50 points; Positive progress in the love status adds points, Negative progress deducts points; Task full score: 100 points; when the score is deducted to 0 points, the Punishment System will be activated.”

       “What Punishment System?” Zhan Weiyang asked in confusion.

       The voice didn’t answer him.

       The surroundings suddenly became quiet, just like how it was originally on the usual summer afternoon. The sun shone in from a small ventilated window above the bathroom, accompanied by the annoying chirping of cicadas. It was a tranquillity exclusive to summer.

       Zhan Weiyang drained the water from the bathtub and climbed out of the bathtub. He had just fallen asleep while soaking in the water and suddenly woke up when he choked on the water. He was still in a daze. His legs and feet were sore, and he sat on the edge of the bathtub for a while. After recovering a bit, he stood up, put on slippers, and reached for the towel and clothes hanging nearby.

       When he came out of the bathroom, Zhan Weiyang wore a large T-shirt that covered his buttocks and only a pair of underwear underneath.

       He put the towel on his arm and was about to walk towards the stairs when he suddenly heard Zhan Weiguang calling him from behind, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned around.

       Zhan Weiguang stood at the door of his room, wearing a sports suit and holding a basketball in his hand. He approached Zhan Weiyang until he was in front of him, then looked at his wet hair and asked in a not-so-friendly tone, “Did you secretly use my bathroom?”

       Because Zhan Weiguang was taller than Zhan Weiyang, Zhan Weiyang had to raise his head when talking to him. The water droplets on his hair that had not yet been dried slid down his cheeks, and he said, “Yeah.”

       Zhan Weiguang said with a stern face, “I’ve said it many times. No sneaking into my bathroom to take a bath.”

       Zhan Weiyang spoke calmly and explained, “Only the third floor has a bathtub.” The two bathrooms on the first floor were both without bathtubs.

       “Then you shouldn’t—” Zhan Weiguang’s words were cut off suddenly by a voice from downstairs. It was Pei Qing calling him from the staircase on the second floor.

       So he just glared at Zhan Weiyang, walked toward the stairs, stuck his head out and said, “Qing ge, just wait for me for two minutes. I’ll be down soon.”

       Zhan Weiguang threw the basketball to the ground and walked past Zhan Weiyang into the bathroom.

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at his back again, decided not to pay attention to him, and walked downstairs.

       Pei Qing was standing at the stairs on the second floor. He was waiting for Zhan Weiguang to go out to play ball, but it was Zhan Weiyang who appeared on the stairs.

       After Zhan Weiyang saw Pei Qing, he paused, nodded and greeted, “Qing ge.” Then he lowered his head and continued walking down.

       Pei Qing is the son of Zhan Weiyang’s aunt. He is not her biological son but was brought here by his aunt’s remarried husband. Therefore, although Pei Qing is the older cousin of both Zhan Weiyang and Zhan Weiguang brothers, he had no blood relation to the Zhan family with whom he shared the surname.

       In September, Pei Qing, who had become a senior, would start an internship at a Futures Investment1Futures investment refers to the trading activities in the futures market with the aim of gaining profits from price differentials, also known as speculative transactions. company not far from Zhan Weiyang’s home, so his aunt called Zhan Weiyang’s father, Zhan Pengcheng, half a month ago and said she wanted to let Pei Qing stay with Zhan’s family for a while.

       Zhan Pengcheng immediately agreed in a light tone.

       So yesterday afternoon, Pei Qing took the high-speed train across the city alone, dragging his suitcase and stayed at Zhan Weiyang’s house.

       Pei Qing’s father and Zhan Weiyang’s aunt had been married for three years. Zhan Weiyang also met Pei Qing three times in total, all during the Chinese New Year. The two of them spoke no more than ten sentences in total.

       He didn’t know Pei Qing at all.

       Pei Qing was obviously not close with Zhan Weiyang either.

       He was getting ready to go out and play basketball with Zhan Weiguang. Similarly, dressed in sportswear, he was even taller than Zhan Weiguang. His figure had already lost the slender build of adolescence, exuding a youthful and agile charm. With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long and well-proportioned legs, his young and handsome face was truly admirable.

       Zhan Weiyang pulled on his slippers and stepped down the stairs step by step with his bare legs. When he passed by Pei Qing, he turned his head to compare the height difference between himself and Pei Qing and then continued walking towards his room.

       Pei Qing leaned against the wall at the corner of the stairs, only nodded as a greeting when Zhan Weiyang passed by, and then looked away.

       Zhan Weiyang returned to his room, reached out and closed the door.

       The air conditioner was still on in the room, and the temperature was set a bit low. The window in front faced the garden on the first floor. He walked to the window and felt the heat penetrating the tightly closed glass, hitting him with a mix of warmth and coldness—just like an egg sizzling on a flat pan.

       Zhan Weiyang quickly realised that this metaphor was not that appropriate. After thinking about it, he couldn’t find a better description, so he had to give it up.

       The voices of Zhan Weiguang and Pei Qing talking and the sound of their footsteps going downstairs were heard outside the room.

       Zhan Weiyang pressed his forehead against the warm glass and kept looking downstairs. When he saw Pei Qing and Zhan Weiguang walking outside with basketballs, he wondered why they didn’t invite him to play basketball, considering he also knew how to play. He turned and walked towards the bed, diving headfirst into the soft bedding.

       He wanted to continue his unfinished sleep.

       Before he was about to fall asleep, Zhan Weiyang suddenly heard the beep, beep sound, like the sound of some instrument starting up. He thought of the Beginner’s Love System and was inexplicably panicked. He struggled to wake himself up, but his brain seemed too tired. After struggling for a few seconds, Zhan Weiyang finally couldn’t resist the strong sleepiness and gave up the struggle and fell asleep.

       He slept through the whole afternoon.

       When Zhan Weiyang woke up again, the sun was no longer so bright. He turned over, grabbed the quilt to cover his cold legs, yawned and wanted to continue sleeping.

       However, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Zhan Pengcheng’s gentle voice, “Yangyang, are you sleeping?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head and responded, “Mmn.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Hurry up and get up. We’ll go for dinner in a while.”

       Zhan Weiyang promised him loudly, “Okay.”

       Zhan Pengcheng then said, “I’ll wait for you downstairs.” After saying that, the sound of his leaving footsteps sounded in the corridor.

       Zhan Weiyang rolled out of bed, opened the closet and found a pair of shorts. He hesitated and changed into long pants. He sat on the edge of the bed and put them on his legs, then opened the door and walked out.

Chapter 12 – Filming

January 28, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       A few days later, Zhuo Yue officially joined the cast for filming, and there was no further contact with Fang Mingyan.

       The hierarchy among actors was very clear, and directors usually accommodated the schedules of big names. Under similar circumstances, the scenes featuring the main characters were usually shot first. Zhuo Yue had few scenes, but he had scenes with both the male and female leads. Jiang Yan was cold and indifferent in private and didn’t pay much attention to anyone except chatting and laughing with the director. Probably because they were in the same company, Lu Chenyang took good care of him and sometimes let Zhuo Yue share his resting room.

       There was a night scene in a bar that night. Hua Zhan accompanied the male protagonist, Lin Xiu, to the bar to find the goddess Dong Xue, but found that the other party was dancing with the rich and handsome Li Haofeng. The diva Jiang Yan was out of shape today, and a dozen shots of a drunken and passionate scene were not good enough, so Zhuo Yue could only sit aside and wait. As the clock passes two, he grows weary from waiting, wraps himself in a blanket, and curls up on the sofa, falling asleep.

       “Hey, make way.” A sharp female voice rang.

       Zhuo Yue woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and looked at the group of people standing around him. It took him a moment to realise that they were the agent, makeup artist and assistants of the second male lead, Zhong Cheng. Lin Hui, who was dozing nearby, woke up when he heard the noise and asked, “What are you doing?”

       The female agent raised her eyebrows and said, “Zhong Cheng wants to use this sofa, please make way.”

       Lin Hui frowned, “Isn’t he still filming? Besides, there are so many sofas around; why can’t he sleep on any one of them?”

       “He doesn’t like the warm air from the air conditioner blowing directly on him. This position is just right.” Zhong Cheng’s young female assistant said.

       “Yue ge has been using this sofa. So there should be a first-come, first-served order, right?” Lin Hui couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

       “First come, first served?” The female manager sneered, The female agent snorted, “Please get it straight, Zhong Cheng is the second male lead. When it comes to taking turns, this sofa isn’t in line for you guys.”

       “Ah1A Chinese prefix used with a shortened form of peoples’ given names to express familiarity, roughly equivalent to Mister or Miss. Hui.” Zhuo Yue stopped him, stood up, rolled up the quilt and said, “Let’s change places.” After that, he walked to another sofa and sat down. Seeing him like this, Lin Hui had no choice but to hold back his anger and move his costume over.

       He then heard some sarcastic comments from the other side of the room.

       “Quite sensible.”

       “The former No.1 in TV dramas now has to wait for others to do his acting, how miserable, haha…”

       “It’s really a turn of events. Zhong Cheng even acted as a male supporting actor for him in a TV series before. At that time, he was very popular. Fenglan’s Sheng Haofeng doted on him like nothing, and he didn’t give a damn about anyone. Now look, Huasheng assigned a young boy like him as his assistant.”

       “I don’t know which bosses this outdated actor somehow managed to curry favour with and got a small supporting role. What’s the use of just looking good? Among the male actors in this crew, who doesn’t look good? With his weak appearance, Zhong Cheng could easily crush him into pieces in no time.”

       The voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for the two of them to hear clearly. Lin Hui gritted his teeth in anger. Zhuo Yue patted his shoulder with a calm expression and said softly, “It’s a shame for you to follow me.”

       “Ge, what are you talking about…don’t take those words to heart.”

       While the two were talking, Zhong Cheng came over to rest between filming. The manager came up to him and said something. He looked over here, curled his lips and smiled contemptuously, then lay down and rested his long legs comfortably on the armrest of the sofa.

       There’s a grudge between Zhong Cheng and Zhuo Yue. Back when the widely popular ‘Conquest of Mountains and Rivers’ was initially casting its male lead, it was supposed to be him. However, Zhuo Yue took over the role, and he had to swallow his dissatisfaction and play the second male lead. At that time, he often mocked and ridiculed Zhuo Yue. Now that they met again, Zhuo Yue was no longer as famous as before, while Zhong Cheng was thriving. Naturally, he didn’t show much favour towards Zhuo Yue.

       After Jiang Yan finally passed the bar, the fight scene between the three men officially began. In the alley behind the bar door, Lu Chenyang and Zhuo Yue were surrounded by bodyguards summoned by Zhong Cheng, who played the role of a rich and handsome man.

       In the movie, the fight scenes were just for show, but Zhuo Yue had some real skills, clearing two sequences effortlessly. In the final scene, Zhong Cheng kicked Lu Chenyang, and Zhuo Yue rushed in to take the blow for him. Coordinating the interactions between the three proved challenging. The timing was off, expressions weren’t right, and movements were too stiff—five or six takes went by without success. As the night grew late, everyone became fatigued, and tensions rose. On this try, Zhong Cheng adjusted his position a bit forward and kicked Zhuo Yue squarely in the chest, unexpectedly using full force. Zhuo Yue stumbled backwards, crashing into a pile of props behind him, creating a loud crash.

       Everyone was shocked and gathered around him. Lin Hui ran over in a panic, “Yue ge! How are you?”

       During the filming of the action scenes, he wore very little clothing for the convenience of movement. This collision was real. Zhuo Yue felt severe pain in his chest and back, and his eyesight went dark. He managed to speak, “…it’s okay, help me up.”

       “Oh, are you okay? It’s my fault that I didn’t control my strength well.” Zhong Cheng pretended to be concerned.

       “Can’t you control, or did you just not control at all?” Lin Hui’s eyes were on the verge of bursting into flames.

       Zhong Cheng’s face turned gloomy, and he sneered, “It’s normal to accidentally get a few skin injuries while playing. Besides, I’ve already apologized. Zhuo Yue, take care of your dog and don’t let it bark at people.”

       Lu Chenyang, who came over to help Zhu Yue, frowned and said, “His assistant is a dog? Then what are those people following behind you?”

       Zhong Cheng looked embarrassed, didn’t dare to say anything, and walked away angrily.

       The doctor from the production team rushed over, checked the injuries on his body, and said, “The back is swollen, and we need to take an X-ray to determine if there is anything wrong with the bones.”

       Upon seeing this, Xie Anqing hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car to take Zhuo Yue to the hospital. It was almost four o’clock when the examination was completed. Fortunately, the bones were fine, but the bruise on the back looked a bit scary.

       Zhuo Yue rushed back to the set overnight and asked Lin Hui to apply some wound medicine to him. Seeing that the sky was already getting brighter, he simply didn’t sleep. He sat by the window for a while, drank a few sips of soy milk, and then went to put on makeup for the morning show. There was a scene between him and Lu Chenyang in the morning.

       After spending so much time together, Xie Anqing had a good impression of the introverted and quiet Zhuo Yue. Seeing him come here on time despite being injured, he couldn’t help but feel a little distressed. He also couldn’t stand the arrogant and domineering Zhong Cheng; choosing him as the second male lead was just to give face to Luo Yuan, the boss of Chongyuan Real Estate. With someone like Luo Yuan as his backing, Zhong Cheng usually looked down on everyone else, except for a few protagonists. Yesterday, it was clear that it was intentional, but no one could accuse him of doing it intentionally without any evidence. They could only watch as Zhuo Yue took the fall silently. Xie Anqing couldn’t help but sigh and say, “There are some people that we have to be on guard against.”

       Seeing Xie Anqing reminding him, Zhuo Yue felt grateful and said softly, “I understand.”

       Most of the scene was dialogue, so Lu Chenyang proposed changing the script and letting Zhuo Yue sit down and act. The director agreed, and the two worked together smoothly, with almost no NG.

       He saw that night was approaching and that he had to shoot that action scene again. Zhuo Yue was feeling depressed. Zhong Cheng came over and said, “Yo, is everything okay? I thought I might have kicked you a bit too hard there. Heard you’ve been tight on cash lately. Do you need me to cover the medical expenses?”

       Zhuo Yue raised his eyes to look at him, his gaze was cold. He was sitting so quietly, which gave him a bit of a cold and compelling aura. Zhong Cheng was already feeling bad, but he felt cold all over when he looked at him, so he dropped a couple of sarcastic remarks and left.

       While the lighting and scenery were being adjusted, several people came over, and the one in the middle was Fang Mingyan. He was wearing a long dark coat, his hands casually in his pockets.

       When Xie Anqing saw him coming, he stood up and greeted him warmly, “What a rare guest, Chairman Fang is actually free to come and visit us today.”

       With a smile on his face, Fang Mingyan said, “I heard there is a night filming tonight, so I stopped by to give you some midnight snacks.” Chen Li and his assistant who were following behind, immediately distributed the packaged abalone porridge to everyone.

       Xie Anqing glanced at Zhuo Yue, who was silent on the side, smiled and said, “Chairman Fang is considerate.”

       Zhuo Yue held the script in his hand, looked up, saw the person coming, and was slightly startled. Their eyes met, and those deep black eyes seemed to suck his gaze in, and his heart beat faster unconsciously. He stood up and said awkwardly, “Chairman Fang.”

       “En. How are the injuries on your body?” The man obviously already knew the news about his injuries.

       Since that snowy night, Zhuo Yue had not had any contact with him for almost a month. Standing in front of him at this moment felt a little unnatural, and said softly, “It’s just a little scr4p3. It’ll heal after a while.”

       “You will soon have a scene that requires you to be topless. If you are injured, you should avoid it.” Fang Mingyan took a separate lunch box from the secretary and gave it to him. Zhuo Yue took it and opened it. Inside was white porridge with side dishes.

       He pursed his lips and said, “Thank you, Chairman Fang.”

       At this moment, a horrified scream was heard, and everyone looked over there.

       The wooden shelf that was originally used as a background was abandoned and placed next to the wall. Now it fell down for some reason, and Zhong Cheng was pinned underneath it. Everyone hurriedly moved the shelves away. Fortunately, the wooden frame was neither strong nor heavy, so it didn’t cause any serious injuries. The only wounds on his back and arms were the wooden thorns that pricked the skin and caused blood. The doctor wiped the wound with disinfectant. Zhong Cheng yelled that it hurt and he couldn’t bear it.

       Xie Anqing walked over, wearing a somewhat uneasy smile as he said to Fang Mingyan, “Chairman Fang, Zhong Cheng still has scenes tonight.”

       The man chuckled nonchalantly, “It’s best to have some filming, but I’m afraid there won’t be any.”

       Director Xie sighed helplessly. It was evident that Fang Mingyan was taking action to teach Zhong Cheng a lesson. With incidents like this happening one after another in the crew, it was bound to attract public attention, and it required careful management. Compared to the real estate tycoon Luo Yuan, Fang Mingyan, who had a finger in both black and white world, was even more formidable. Being caught in the middle of this situation was indeed awkward for him.

       Zhuo Yue was still in a daze, and Lu Chenyang, who was beside him, bumped him with his elbow and said with a smile, “The porridge has gone cold. It’s rare for the boss to deliver it personally. Eat it quickly. After finishing, we can go check on Zhong Cheng,”

       He looked up at Fang Mingyan, lowered his head and took a sip.

       It was warm, and he felt all the way down your throat to your heart.

       After sitting for a short while, Boss Fang was ready to leave. Zhuo Yue and Lu Chenyang escorted him to the car. Whenever their eyes met, Zhuo Yue always managed to look away after a moment. Fang Mingyan smiled slightly and left without saying much.

       Zhong Cheng yelled that he didn’t want to film any more scenes, saying that he would need to be nursed for at least a week. The cost of renting a venue was very high, and a week off was a lot of money. Xie Anqing was offended by his pretentiousness, so he temporarily changed the script, deleted his action scenes with a stroke of a pen, and replaced them all with bodyguards. The next day, after shooting the remaining scenes, they let him leave the crew.

       In the next few days, the crew moved to the swimming pool. The wound on Zhuo Yue’s body had not healed much yet. The makeup artist wanted to cover the bruise with thick foundation. Lu Chenyang frowned and objected, “It is already bad enough to have the injuries soaked in the water. These chemicals are even more harmful to the wound. Once inflammation develops and the wound begins to fester, something serious will happen.”

       Xie Anqing thought for a while and agreed, “Then we’ll fix it in post-production.”

       This scene showed the male protagonist coming to the swimming pool to find Hua Zhan, and Hua Zhan comes out of the water. Zhuo Yue’s fitness efforts have begun to show results, with more defined lines on his body. The moment he straightened up from the swimming pool, his slowly opening eyes under his wet long eyelashes were as bright as obsidian. The water droplets dripping from the tips of the hair streaked across the wet chest, which had a fatal attraction that people couldn’t take their eyes away from. It was as if he was a male mermaid leaping from the sea, with every feature carrying an enchanting allure, leading humanity step by step into an irretrievable abyss of the deep sea.

       At that moment, the audience was extremely quiet, and Lu Chenyang was also stunned. The award-winning actor forgot the next words for a moment.

       Zhuo Yue looked at him awkwardly and said softly, “Chenyang?”

       Lu Chenyang recovered and smiled, “Sorry, I forgot the words. Sorry, sorry.”

       The first few moments went smoothly, and then it was the kiss between the two of them.

       Lu Chenyang had rehearsed the kiss with him before, but now, when their gaze met, they felt a different emotion from the last time; Zhuo Yue’s eyes were filled with a quiet clamour, as if countless hesitant words had turned into lingering emotions, lingering in those dark eyes, making him fall into that gaze unknowingly. In the blink of an eye, the kiss that should have been anticipated came suddenly. The perfectly balanced intensity and delicate restraint infused this brief kiss with even more profound emotions. In an instant, Lu Chenyang’s heartbeat unexpectedly quickened beyond his control.

       When he heard the director shouting to stop, Zhuo Yue put on the bath towel handed by Lin Hui and asked, “Is it passed?”

       “Excellent!” Xie Anqing praised with a smile after watching the replay, “Zhuo Yue performed well, and Chenyang’s surprise was very natural.”

       Lu Chenyang looked at the people beside him, lowered his eyes and smiled softly.

       In that moment just now, his attention was effortlessly diverted, his movements were restrained, and the rhythm was controlled. This captivating merman seemed to possess a truly enchanting power, causing him to lose control for the first time in his performance. The bewilderment in that moment was not an act; he genuinely became entranced by Zhuo Yue.

       “Mint flavoured,” he said.

       Zhuo Yue didn’t hear clearly and saw him tapping his lips, blushing, and said a little embarrassedly, “Ah Hui only has this flavor of chewing gum…”

       Lu Chenyang smiled and reached out to help him put the slipped bath towel on his shoulders. His eyes were gentle, “Go take a hot shower. You must be chilly being all wet.”

       Zhuo Yue nodded. After that, he had no further roles and left the crew the next day.

Chapter 29 – Morning Dew (2)

January 26, 2024 / / 2 Comments

       The Lord Secretary of State was waiting restlessly in the lounge of the Cabinet Office while Quinta was leisurely drinking tea.

       “It’s rare to see you like this.” The professor looked at his former student with a face full of mockery, “Lin Dongliang, who has always been calm and gentle, the chief of the 10th Averio… We thought at that time that you would definitely pledge allegiance to the cabinet.”

       Lin Dongliang frowned and looked at Quinta, “Teacher…”

       Quinta waved his hand, “I know you have your own stance. You were a very opinionated student in school.”

       “Teacher.” Lin Dongliang sighed, without a smile on his face, “You have to admit that there is no fairness in the Cabinet, and the same goes for Averio Academy. You don’t accept any children who are talented but have weak spiritual links. Still, often, they are the majority of the future and determine the foundation and development of the Empire.”

       “Spiritual link will only choose the strong.” Quinta gripped his teacup tightly; he was a little angry, and there was a deep contempt in his eyes, “Genes have already determined a person’s rank. Only those of higher rank deserve to enjoy privileges. Ordinary people are divided into three, six, and nine levels, not to mention sentinels and guides.”

       Quinta stood up. Despite his old age, he didn’t appear feeble. His back was straight, and he exuded an imposing presence, “Go pick up your general, Lord Secretary of State. I hope we can get along happily in the future.”

 

       Skarter had not shaved for several days when he came out of the solitary room. He took off his military uniform and hung it on his arm. There was a faint dark green under his eyes.

       Lin Dongliang’s eyes turned red the moment he saw him. He walked a few steps quickly to the sentinel as if he wanted to hug him but held back.

       Skarter smiled softly and held out his hand.

       Lin Dongliang hugged him tightly, and he gently pressed his forehead against the other person’s shoulder, took a deep breath and choked with sobs, “Welcome back.”

 

       Although he was released from the solitary room, Skarter’s military power was still not restored. The Cabinet’s methods were tough, and the royal family was not 100% sure that they would completely break up with the other party, but fortunately, he was saved.

       Lin Dongliang spoke to Moschery immediately, and the other party’s expression on the holographic projection always appeared calm.

       “As long as everything is fine.” Moschery seemed to be on a private aircraft, “Let Skarter have a good rest, and you can also take a day off to accompany him.”

       “…” Lin Dongliang was a little embarrassed, “My previous leave has been used up.”

       Moschery said nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter. I approved it.”

       Lin Dongliang: “…”

       “That’s right.” Moschery said suddenly, “I’m getting married.”

       Lin Dongliang: “?!”

       Moschery: “When you come back, help me think about how to hold the wedding. It needs to be grand. Well… I asked Ba Jin to order the outfits first. Do you have any recommendations for a good venue?”

       Lin Dongliang: “…”

 

       Skarter looked at his guide who turned off the communication device with a complicated expression, raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, “Does His Majesty have anything to say?”

       “No…” Lin Dongliang looked for words, “His Majesty, he is in a… very good mood?”

       Skarter was confused, “…Has the research institute invented a new suppressant agent?”

       Lin Dongliang did not agree with this joke. He said helplessly, “His Majesty gave me a long vacation so that I can spend time with you.”

       “…” Skarter was horrified, “What happened to make him in such a good mood?! Has Olympus returned?!!”

       “If it was just the return of Olympus, His Majesty will probably only have an attitude of ‘it should have been so’.” Lin Dongliang pinched his eyebrows tiredly, “His Majesty told me that he is getting married.”

       Skarter: “…”

       Lin Dongliang: “He also asked me if I had any good venue recommendations… What do you think of the one we decided on before?”

       Skarter’s face darkened, “Don’t introduce it to him. I don’t want us to be unable to use it before they used it.”

       Lin Dongliang: “…”

 

       Qin Yun still hasn’t reacted when Moschery forcefully pulls him into the aircraft. He didn’t dare to turn around to see Mrs. Berlin’s expression. He only heard Tristana’s excited screams, shouting, “Congratulations!”

      Chris took the initiative to give up the aircraft, his face was red with excitement, and he shook Qin Yun’s hand up and down, “I am currently researching estrus agents, which can be used by ordinary people and have similar effects on bonding heat… Ah, of course, there are no side effects, ensuring a happy and fulfilling married life!”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       “If you have time to talk this nonsense? Why don’t you go to work?” Moschery ordered coldly, “I want to see the results before we get married, do you hear me?”

      Chris: “…”

 

       The royal aircraft was more than a little more advanced than ordinary ones. It wasn’t Qin Yun’s first time riding one, but he was indeed more nervous than every time before.

       Moschery set up the autopilot. He took off his commander’s uniform and threw it on the driver’s seat. He suddenly reached out and pinched Qin Yun’s chin and looked around.

       “You’ve lost weight.” The Emperor frowned and said, “Have you eaten well?”

       Qin Yun didn’t dare to hide as he stiffened and nodded.

       Moschery asked again, “What do you eat every day?”

       Qin Yun thought for a while and said honestly, “Rice and vegetables.”

       Moschery: “…”

       Qin Yun glanced at the other party cautiously and plucked up the courage to say, “Well… I know you said that to protect me. Don’t worry, I won’t misunderstand…”

       Moschery interrupted him with a sullen face, “You think I did that to protect you?”

       “…” Qin Yun scratched his face, “What else…?”

       Moschery stood up with force, and Qin Yun was startled. Just as he was about to find a place to hide, he heard the Emperor pointing at his nose angrily and roaring, “Why should I marry you if I don’t fvcking love you?! You idiot!!”

       Qin Yun: “……”

       Moschery gasped and glared condescendingly at the other person.

       “C-calm down…” Qin Yun raised his hands and squatted half-crouched, “L-let’s talk… calmly.”

       Moschery gritted his teeth, “What talk! Where’s the answer?!”

       Qin Yun nodded quickly, “I do! Let’s get married! Let’s get married!”

       “Who cares about that?!” Moschery said angrily, “Don’t you dare not marry me!”

       “…” Qin Yun looked at him blankly, “…Then what do you care about?”

       Moschery reached out and pinched Qin Yun’s chin fiercely, “Say it!” He said every word with a ferocious expression, “Say you love me!”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       After messaging Lin Dongliang, Moschery returned to the c0ckpit. He saw Qin Yun lying on the workbench. When he walked in, he found that the other party was attaching a rhinestone ring.

       The Emperor looked at it for a while, then suddenly stretched out his arm over the other person’s shoulder. When he put the ring on his finger, he realised that the size was not right…

       Qin Yun explained awkwardly, “I want to make one for Zhongyan…”

       Moschery cursed with an unpleasant expression on his face, “I am the one marrying you! What the hell are you doing for that stupid dragon!”

       “…” Qin Yun silently changed the size of the ring again, and finally, it was shaped into a thin circle with a comically large diamond on top…

       Moschery stretched out his hand impatiently for a long time, waiting for Qin Yun to put it on him.

       “Kneel down on one knee.” His Majesty the Emperor said with some fuss, “Come and propose.”

       “…” Qin Yun thought; fair enough, you propose once, I propose once. He knelt on the ground, carefully putting the ring on Moschery’s finger. Before he could say anything, Moschery held his face in his hands.

       Moschery leaned down and sealed his lips with a heavy kiss.

       “I do.” The emperor muttered against the other person’s lips.

       “…” Qin Yun: “I haven’t said anything yet…”

       Moschery: “…shut up!”

 

       The two continued to kiss, and Qin Yun secretly opened a slit in his eyes and found that Moschery was also looking at him.

       “I know you can’t receive pheromones now.” The other party suddenly said, “It wasn’t the only reason before.”

       Qin Yun opened his mouth. He wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn’t.

       “Because I want to kiss you.” Moschery kissed his eyes and replied, “That’s why I kissed you.”

Chapter 27 – Heartbroken

January 25, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Song Jun spent the first day of the new year in depression. He didn’t even eat breakfast or lunch until dinner time. Xia Hongshen came and knocked on his door.

       He didn’t want to open the door to Xia Hongshen at all, so he lay on the bed and pretended to be dead.

       After a while, he saw the little black cat looking in from the window.

       Song Jun had no choice but to let out a long sigh, get up, open the window, and let the little cat in.

       There were too many things in life that could not go as planned. If one insisted on forcing them, more often than not, you would end up empty-handed after a hard struggle. It was better to let go and move on sooner rather than later.

       While feeding the cat, Song Jun made up his mind. He decided to put aside these messy thoughts for the time being. While completing his studies seriously, he would go out to find some part-time jobs to try to save more money!

       His first love ended before it even started.

       Song Jun picked up the little black cat who was eating cat food, put his forehead against its forehead and rubbed it hard. The little black cat struggled a little at first, then calmed down and lay motionless in his arms.

       On the second day of the New Year, Song Jun opened the door to his room.

       Xia Hongshen, on the opposite side, opened the door immediately.

       The awkwardness was still unavoidable, but Song Jun told himself to be calm; he must be calm. He greeted Xia Hongshen with a smile and said, “Happy New Year, Senior Brother Xia!”

       Xia Hongshen looked at him without speaking.

       Song Jun turned around, closed the door, and walked outside. After stepping onto the stairs, he raised his hand and patted his chest, telling himself to relax and not be nervous.

       As soon as the seventh day of the Lunar New Year was over, although the school had not yet started, the closed shops outside gradually began to open for business again. Song Jun learned his lesson this time and did not find a job too far away from the campus. Instead, he found a job at a milk tea shop near the campus.

       The owner of the cold drink shop was a middle-aged woman. Seeing Song Jun’s clean appearance, she asked him to greet customers and collect money at the front desk.

       Song Jun went there at six o’clock every afternoon, got off work at eleven o’clock, and walked back to campus for a while.

       After two days of working at a milk tea shop, another young girl came to work there. That young girl was also from Song Jun campus. She said she was a first-year graduate student in the Faculty of Pharmacy. Her name was Xi Anling.

       The young girl was good-looking and cute and had a sweet mouth. After chatting with Song Jun, Song Jun discovered that she was actually Cheng Ruijing’s junior sister.

       When Xi Anling first came here, she didn’t understand anything, so she always asked Song Jun obediently what to do this and what to do that.

       Song Jun had a good temper and would help her whenever she had a problem.

       After spending more than ten days together, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.

       When the school officially started, Bu Hui and Cheng Ruijing returned to campus. One day, Xi Anling asked Song Jun to have dinner together.

       Song Jun thought it was a good idea and didn’t refuse. He made an appointment with Bu Hui and Cheng Ruijing, and the four of them had dinner together at a small restaurant outside the campus.

       It was fine at the beginning of the meal, but later on, Bu Hui started making jokes about Song Jun and Xi Anling.

       Song Jun was embarrassed by what he said and said, “Senior Brother Bu, don’t talk nonsense.”

       Xi Anling just smiled obediently and poked at the bowl with her chopsticks.

       After dinner that day, Bu Hui went to Song Jun’s room to find him and asked him, “What do you think of Xi Anling?”

       Song Jun said, “She’s very cute.”

       Bu Hui put an arm around his shoulders, “She didn’t have a boyfriend yet. What are you waiting for?”

       Song Jun was stunned when he heard this.

       Bu Hui said, “Don’t say that your senior brother isn’t helping you. I’ve already talked to senior sister Cheng to ask her to talk to Xianling. As long as everything is fine on that end, put in some extra effort and be more proactive. I think she finds you quite interesting. Don’t miss out on this.”

       After saying that, Bu Hui patted Song Jun’s chest.

       Song Jun wanted to say no, but Bu Hui didn’t listen to him and wanted to make things easier for the two of them, “You can give it a try to see if it’s a good fit. If it doesn’t work out, then just let it go.”

       “But I…” Song Jun wanted to say that he had just fallen out of love and was not ready for a relationship.

       But Bu Hui waved his hand and went to the water room with his own kettle.

       Song Jun was struggling hard in his heart. He really didn’t want to get a girlfriend right now. He liked Xia Hongshen. Although he couldn’t say that he liked him to the point of death, the feeling was serious.

       Xia Hongshen’s rejection was already obvious to him. He was not stuck in this feeling and couldn’t get out of it, but it didn’t mean that he could go back and be intimate with someone else immediately.

       Xi Anling was a very cute girl. If it had been earlier, before Song Jun came to this campus, or before he fell in love with Xia Hongshen, he would have been happy to accept Bu Hui’s proposal, and maybe he would have taken the initiative to pursue Xi Anling, but now…

       Song Jun felt very distressed. He would definitely not do what Bu Hui said about taking the initiative to make an appointment with Xi Anling, but Xi Anling might have something in mind, but he had no way to explain it.

       Unexpectedly, Xi Anling took the initiative to find Song Jun in his dormitory the next day.

       Xi Anling stood at the door of Song Jun’s room, poked her head in and said, “It’s good, one dormitory for one person.”

       Song Jun had no choice but to say, “Please come in and sit down.”

       Xi Anling was wearing a short skirt and long boots. She was petite and looked very good standing next to Song Jun. No wonder Bu Hui wanted to bring them together.

       Song Jun had no reason to reject Xi Anling like this, but the only thing was that he didn’t like Xi Anling. However, he still invited Xi Anling to come in to sit down and pour her a glass of water.

       Xi Anling found cat food in Song Jun’s room and was surprised, “Do you have a cat?”

       Song Jun said, “No, it’s a little wild cat nearby. It often comes here to eat.”

       Xi Anling was a little surprised when she heard this, “You are so kind.”

       She spent the afternoon playing in Song Jun’s dormitory, and the two of them had to work together in the evening, so it was natural for them to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

       When going out, Song Jun met Xia Hongshen who was coming back from outside.

       Xia Hongshen’s eyes fell on Xi Anling.

       Song Jun was a little embarrassed at first, but then he thought about it. Why should he be embarrassed? He didn’t owe him anything. Since he was rejected, it didn’t mean he couldn’t pursue a relationship with someone else, right?

       Thinking of this, Song Jun felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He nodded to Xia Hongshen, “Senior Brother Xia.”

       “Where to go?” Xia Hongshen asked.

       Song Jun said, “To go out to eat.”

       Xi Anling looked at Xia Hongshen and then smiled at him.

       After hearing what Song Jun said, Xia Hongshen didn’t ask further questions and went back to his room.

       From that day on, Xi Anling began to frequent Song Jun’s dormitory. Song Jun had always felt that the relationship between the two of them was a bit unclear. To say they were lovers, but they had never confessed their feelings to each other. But it was not like they were ordinary friends; it seemed odd for a female friend to visit a male dormitory so frequently.

       But no matter what, Song Jun was in a very passive position in this relationship from the beginning. He often thought seriously and felt that he could consider his relationship with Xi Anling.

       One night, neither of them went to work. Xi Anling was surfing the internet at Song Jun’s place. At about nine o’clock, she stood up and prepared to leave.

       Song Jun sent her out, and when he walked outside the door, Xi Anling suddenly said to him, “No need to send me off. I can go back by myself.”

       Song Jun said, “It’s okay, I’ll walk you.”

       Xi Anling stood face to face with him, looked at him and said, “Can I be your girlfriend?”

       Song Jun was stunned. Xi Anling hadn’t mentioned this issue for so long. Now that she suddenly mentioned it, Song Jun couldn’t react for a while.

       Xi Anling put her hands behind her back, waiting expectantly for his answer.

       Song Jun hesitated. He couldn’t bear to refuse, but he was not willing to accept it from the bottom of his heart.

       Suddenly, Xi Anling closed her eyes and slowly approached him to kiss him.

       Song Jun was stunned. His head was spinning rapidly, hesitating between avoiding or reaching out to push Xi Anling away. Suddenly, a mobile phone came between the two of them, blocking Xi Anling’s kiss.

       Xi Anling opened her eyes and saw that it was Xia Hongshen holding a mobile phone in his hand, blocking the two of them.

       Song Jun was so nervous before that he didn’t even notice when Xia Hongshen appeared.

       Xia Hongshen said, “Stop messing around.”

       Xi Anling looked at him with confusion.

       Song Jun felt confused at first and didn’t know what was going on. Then he suddenly felt angry and said, “I’m not messing around! I’m serious!”

       After saying that, Song Jun held Xi Anling’s hand and said to Xia Hongshen, “She is my girlfriend, and we are officially together.”

       Xia Hongshen was not angry or sad; there was no expression that Song Jun expected on his face. He just said in a very calm tone, “You two aren’t suitable for each other.”

       Song Jun said, “What’s not suitable? Besides, it’s none of your business!”

       After he finished speaking, he took Xi Anling’s hand and walked quickly outside. However, Xi Anling was still a little strange and kept looking back at Xia Hongshen.

       With entanglement and depression in his heart, Song Jun made up his mind not to talk to Xia Hongshen anymore. He decided to seriously be in a relationship with Xi Anling. This kind of relationship should be his first relationship, not those hopeless fantasies.

       Although he was thinking this, when Song Jun sent Xi Anling back to the dormitory that night, he still felt very uncomfortable and in a really bad mood.

       The little black cat hadn’t come to see him for several days. It seemed that since Xi Anling came here often, the little black cat didn’t come often.

       He opened the window, but it was dark outside, and he couldn’t see anything. After searching for a while, he couldn’t find the little black cat. Song Jun suddenly felt tired and wondered if love would come, so he closed the window and stopped looking for it.

Chapter 11 – Lesson

January 24, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Early the next morning, Zhuo Yue left the house.

       Lin Hui took him to see the apartment, and after just looking at the first one, he said it was acceptable.

       “Yue ge, there are a few other places that are also good. Should we take a look again?” Lin Hui asked in a low voice. He was two years younger than Zhuo Yue, so he called him ‘ge’ to show his closeness.

       This hotel-style high-rise apartment had a very good environment, with a suitable size, and it was ready to move in with just a suitcase. The community comes with a well-equipped gym and a swimming pool. There were no other shortcomings except that the location was slightly off. Zhuo Yue stood by the window, looking at the rows of tall buildings in the distance and smiling lightly. “Compared with my previous residence, this place is already very good. I don’t have any other requirements besides tranquillity.”

       “Alright then, ge, take a look at the contract, and I’ll go talk to the agent.” Lin Hui handed him the lease contract. After a while, he came back and saw that Zhuo Yue was still sitting on the chair reading the contract; he waited quietly for a while and realised that something was wrong. Zhuo Yue’s gaze was fixed on the paper without moving at all. If his gaze had been so hot, it would have burned through the paper. He was not looking at the contract, he was clearly distracted.

       Lin Hui coughed lightly and asked, “Yue ge, have you finished reading? Do you have any questions?”

       Zhuo Yue came back to his senses, scribbled through it, signed it, handed it to him, and asked, “Are you free this afternoon?”

       “Yes, what’s the matter?”

       “I have some things stored in Hanguan, and I want to move them here directly.”

       Lin Hui was stunned, “What’s the hurry? Does Chairman Fang know about this?” When he saw the embarrassment on Zhu Yue’s face, he knew that he had made a mistake and immediately said, “I don’t mean something else… Then, Yue ge, I’ll find a few people to move the stuff over this afternoon.”

       “No need to call anyone. I don’t have big things, and it only takes two travel bags to pack.” Zhuo Yue said, “Please help me get it together.”

       “It’s all within the scope of my duties, ge. No need to be so polite.” Lin Hui scratched his head.

       Choosing to move in the afternoon when Fang Mingyan was not around felt a bit sneaky. After Zhuo Yue had moved all his belongings to the new place and sat on the sofa, he contemplated and felt that his actions were quite inappropriate. After all, Fang Mingyan had kindly taken him in, and leaving without even saying goodbye was impolite. Moreover, it was he who had inexplicably ended up on the fourth floor doing what he did last night. Apart from helping him achieve a certain ‘pleasure’, Fang Mingyan hadn’t done anything out of line. It was his own fault, and he couldn’t blame others. Regardless of emotion or reason, he should have at least given a heads-up.

       Zhuo Yue thought for a while and decided to send a text message. This short sentence was typed, deleted, and revised several times.

       “I’ve found an apartment, and I’m moving in today. Thank you, Chairman Fang, for taking care of me, and I’ll buy you dinner some other time.”

       It was formal, polite and cautious, like an official diplomatic statement.

       After sending it out, he became even more nervous. Every time the screen of his mobile phone lit up, his breathing would become involuntarily short. As a result, Zhuo Yue spent the whole afternoon restless because the other party didn’t reply.

       By dinner time, the doorbell rang. He thought it was Lin Hui coming to deliver the meal, but when he opened the door he found Fang Mingyan standing outside the door, and he was stunned.

       “Why? Am I not welcome?” The man in a dark gray woolen coat looked at him with a smirk.

       “No…” Zhuo Yue came back to his senses. His face turned red, and he stepped aside, “Please come in.”

       Fang Mingyan looked round and commented, “Not bad.”

       Ever since what happened last night, Zhuo Yue would feel a little embarrassed every time he looked at him. This time, he lowered his head and poured water for him, saying, “I haven’t bought tea, just water.”

       The man took the cup, “After you move here, your whereabouts must be known to Lin Hui. This is a rule stipulated in the contract, and it is also to protect your safety, do you understand?”

       “Understood.”

       “Alright. Change your clothes, and let’s go eat.”

       Zhuo Yue was startled. He raised his gaze and saw a faint smile in Fang Mingyan’s bright eyes, “Didn’t you say you wanted to treat me to dinner? I happen to be free tonight.”

       When it was time to order, Zhuo Yue regretted even more why he had so stupidly added the phrase, “I’ll buy you dinner some other time.”

       It was a renowned high-end restaurant famous for its French cuisine. The expensive prices listed on the menu, adorned with golden edges, almost made Zhuo Yue unable to sit still. He had been to this place once before, and an investor in the same field footed the bill. At that time, he had money and didn’t care about the prices. Now, it seemed incredibly extravagant. In his current destitute state, even the rent was paid in advance by the company, and the few thousand yuan he had on him would probably just about cover today’s meal.

       The man had no intention of saving him any money. He ordered everything from foie gras to truffles, duck breast to lamb saddle steak, and even ordered a bottle of red wine. Finally, he asked Zhuo Yue his opinion in a very gentlemanly manner, “What else would you like to eat?”

       “No, I’m fine.” Zhuo Yue had no choice but to ask Lin Hui for help via text message, hoping to borrow some money to pay for the meal in advance, but there was no reply for a long time.

       The dishes came one after another, and Fang Mingyan ate slowly, with a fleeting joking flashing in his eyes, “Why, you don’t have an appetite to eat with me?”

       “…It’s not like that.” Zhuo Yue lowered his head and fiddled with the food on the plate. He had always been thin-skinned. Since he agreed to the treat, he couldn’t say anything if he couldn’t pay the bill, so he had to perfunctorily clink his glasses with the man. Drinking more than a thousand yuan of red wine felt like drinking Chinese medicine in his mouth; it tasted bitter and astringent.

       After finally making it to the end of the meal, Zhuo Yue could no longer calm down, so he quietly went to the front desk to check out, using the excuse of going to the bathroom. As expected, the amount was well beyond his ability to pay. In desperation, Zhuo Yue had no choice but to discuss it with the other party, “I forgot to bring my wallet, and I don’t have enough. Can I leave my phone here temporarily? I’ll come back to retrieve it once I get the money.”

       The girl at the cashier smiled apologetically, “Sir, I’m sorry, we don’t have the right to collect collateral. Could you please consider asking your friend to send the wallet over or ask your companion to pay for it first?”

       Zhuo Yue had no choice but to return to his original position and sit down. The man across from him casually swirled his wine glass, and his deep eyes emitted an inscrutable glint. As their gazes met, Zhuo Yue’s eyes flickered for a moment, ultimately lowering them in the end.

       During their time together, Zhuo Yue had gained a certain level of understanding about Fang Mingyan. This man possessed a kind of profound control, a control that stemmed from innate charisma and cultivated observational skills. This blend allowed him to quickly discern lies, needs, and various attitudes from people’s microexpressions. Zhuo Yue absolutely did not believe that someone as adept at reading people as him hadn’t noticed his predicament and discomfort. To him, there was only one possibility: Fang Mingyan was intentionally ignoring it.

       Allowing Zhuo Yue to move out without any hindrance, Fang Mingyan stood by casually, setting aside text messages. The sudden extravagant dinner… Fang Mingyan effortlessly held Zhuo Yue in the palm of his hand, watching him anxiously and helplessly without a hint of emotion. Like a puppet master toying with hearts, he took pleasure in the situation while revealing nothing.

       Zhuo Yue felt like a monkey being played with. However, when it came to moving out, he couldn’t justify his actions of sneaking away without consulting the master. So he even lost the reason to be angry and had no choice but to endure.

       “Can you… pay for it first?” Zhuo Yue, who was forced into a desperate situation, finally had to speak with a blushing face.

       The curvature of Fang Mingyan’s lips became a little wider.

       Of course, he did it on purpose.

       The day Fang Mingyan accidentally bumped into Zhuo Yue at the entrance of the cage was an interesting surprise. He never expected that this shy and easily blushable guy would be stirred by desire. He found himself intrigued by Zhuo Yue’s frightened yet oddly sensual expression, so he decided to lend a ‘helping hand’. He thought it would lead to an awkward situation at most, but he didn’t anticipate that Zhuo Yue would quietly escape without a word.

       This act of assertiveness provoked Fang Mingyan’s desire for control as a Dom. So he took action to teach Zhuo Yue, who was trying to escape control, a small lesson. This mentality of ‘You don’t like to say it, but I’m going to make you say it’ was really a little bit funny.

       He always liked this kind of game.

       “Hm?” The man made an upward nasal sound as if he was confused.

       Zhuo Yue hated Fang Mingyan’s deliberate probing, and his face blushed even more. He pitted himself a bit and said, “I don’t have enough money to settle the bill at the moment, so… can you cover it first? I’ll pay you back later.”

       “That’s quite a predicament,” the man said, tilting his head and looking at him with a smirk. “You said you were treating, so I didn’t bring my wallet.”

       Zhuo Yue pursed his lips, sat silently for a moment, and said softly, “It’s my fault that I moved out without saying anything to you. I’m sorry.”

       Fang Mingyan looked at the person sitting in front of him with his head slightly lowered and silently raised the corners of his lips. Then he called the waiter and said, “Put the cost of today’s meal on my bill.”

       “Understood, Chairman Fang.” The waitress smiled and bowed. Fang Mingyan was one of the shareholders of this restaurant; how could she not know it?

       When they walked out of the hotel, there was fine snow falling in the night sky. The snowflakes swirled and fell, falling on Zhuo Yue’s black hair, and slowly melted. “There must be a lot of traffic at this time. It’s not that far anyway. I can just walk back,” he said.

       Fang Mingyan closed the car door that was opened for him and said, “Okay, let’s go.” After that, he walked forward. Zhuo Yue was stunned for a moment, then followed up and said, “Actually, you don’t have to go out of your way to escort me back.”

       The man looked at him and said, “Cherish this moment, there will not be many opportunities like this in the future.

       Hearing this, Zhuo Yue took a breath, and his cheeks instantly became hot.

       Fang Mingyan explained nonchalantly, “What I mean is, in the future, when you become famous, leisurely strolls on the street like today might not be so easy.”

       Zhuo Yue knew that he was teasing him again, so he raised his eyebrows coldly and said, “Are you so sure that I can become popular?”

       The man curled his lips, “It’s impossible for the person I sing praises not to be popular.”

       His tone was determined, with unquestionable strength and confidence.

       Zhuo Yue looked into those dark eyes; he felt moved, and his feet paused.

       Fang Mingyan stopped, took off his scarf, and tied it carefully around his neck, “Your filming is about to start, so pay special attention to your body during this period of time, and don’t catch a cold.”

       The thick cashmere plaid scarf still carries the body temperature of that person, making it soft and warm. Zhuo Yue didn’t refuse and just said ‘En’ in a low voice.

       The snow started falling heavily, each flake resembling elves in the night, silently drifting down to the earth, coating the world in a layer of frosty white.

       The two walked side by side, waiting for the light to turn green, then crossed the zebra crossing and walked down to the apartment building.

       “It’s here.” Zhuo Yue attempted to remove his scarf, but his hand was gently held by the other. What followed was the warmth of the palm, which made him feel astonished. It was probably because winter was too cold that made people particularly mindful of such warmth. The heat seemed to be transmitted from the back of the hand directly to the heart, accelerating the heartbeat.

       “Xie Anqing is a relatively upright person, he won’t allow his actors to engage in such devious behaviour. But think twice about everything. I’ve taught you that.” The man said.

       Zhuo Yue nodded, “I understand.”

       “Pay attention to safety when filming. If there’s anything you can’t solve, you can call me directly. This is considered a privilege I’m giving you.” He smiled, “As for this scarf, return it to me when you become popular. Act well, and don’t let me down.”

       His lips moved, but nothing came out. There seemed to be countless emotions entangled in his heart that couldn’t be untangled. In the end, Zhuo Yue just responded in a low voice and then watched Fang Mingyan get into the car that was waiting for him, disappearing from sight.

       The snow fell silently, burying someone’s thoughts beneath its layers.

Chapter 28 – Morning Dew (1)

January 23, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       When Tristana saw Lin Dongliang in the royal office area the next day, she was so surprised that she couldn’t open her mouth for a long time. She looked at his face carefully, “…I thought you would ask for leave today…at least half a day. “

       Lin Dongliang smiled. There were traces of staying up late on his face, but he didn’t look too dishevelled.

       “I don’t have that much time to rest.” The Secretary of State adjusted his tie. He turned his head, and his eyes were firm and bright, “Someone is waiting for me.”

 

       Since Lin Dongliang’s return, although the war front has still not improved, the media has quietly changed. It no longer blindly condemns His Majesty the Emperor’s dereliction of duty but focuses more on democracy, freedom and equality.

       Lin Dongliang had somehow managed to get the Eta Star Hybrid Experiment Programme, a report so huge that it was almost sickening.

       “The Empire will not take the initiative to break any peace treaty, but we have our own bottom line.” Lin Dongliang faced the camera; his expression was as solemn and sad as sacred self-sacrifice, “And it is precisely Eta Star that has violated this principle.”

       A reporter below asked relentlessly, “Besides these, do you have any other evidence?”

       Lin Dongliang smiled gently, “I am fortunate that, while uncovering Eta Star’s conspiracy, I also rescued an outstanding couple.” He gestured to the side, and the holographic image displayed the faces of Maggie and Alice. The latter seemed a bit uneasy, hiding behind her sentinel.

       Maggie calmly deflected the recorders that were about to poke her in the face. She frowned slightly, with an aloof and chilly expression.

       “This is my ID.” The sentinel placed a card on the table, “I am a test subject of this batch of Eta stars. Under the care of His Majesty, I was able to come to the Empire safely.”

       “Of course.” Maggie paused, and she continued, “The people rescued by His Majesty this time also include Mr. Chris, a senior researcher from the Eta Star gene bank, but he now needs to accompany His Majesty to deal with the illegal genes of the Eta Star at the frontline.”

       The reporters below began to whisper. Lin Dongliang’s expression did not change. He stood up and slowly scanned the faces of everyone below.

       “Those who fight for democracy, freedom and equality will never lose…” Lin Dongliang said calmly, “Thank you to the sentinels and guides who have been fighting on the front line so far.” He bowed deeply to the camera, ” Even if we encounter injustice, we never give up.”

 

       Qin Yun looked at the picture of the Secretary of State bowing at the top of the home page with mixed emotions. Shen Zhuofan curled his lips and said, “Don’t feel bad; senior has his own pride.”

       “…” Qin Yun still felt uncomfortable, “They shouldn’t have had to face all of this…”

       Shen Zhuofan twitched his lips, “Both of them are ready to sacrifice willingly at any time, not for your sympathy.”

       “It is precisely because they have steadfast ideals and an unwavering belief to strive for that they are qualified to stand there, becoming my trusted aides.” Shen Zhuofan showed a nostalgic expression, “This is what His Majesty once said to me.”

       Qin Yun looked at him.

       Shen Zhuofan smiled, “I didn’t understand it very well before, but now I seem to understand something a little finally.”

 

       Overnight, Lin Dongliang rose to become the highest national idol in the empire. The overwhelming support from public opinion forced the Cabinet to release the remaining half of Skarter’s troops and 30% of the high-level guides to support the war. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Berlin still imposed confinement on General Skarter himself in the name of ‘internal investigation’.

       Lin Dongliang travelled between the royal family and the Cabinet every three days and almost lost weight in just half a month.

       He came to visit Qin Yun with fruits and left after sitting for a while.

       “The front line is basically under control, but we don’t have any extra troops. His Majesty can’t withdraw yet.” Lin Dongliang smiled a little bitterly, “It’s not that he doesn’t want to see you.”

       Qin Yun quickly denied it, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I don’t really want to…” His expression was tangled, “Okay, I actually miss him…”

       Lin Dongliang: “Pfft…”

       Qin Yun was not very embarrassed and whispered, “Don’t tell him…”

       Lin Dongliang also imitated him and lowered his voice, “Okay.”

       Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little lonely, “Actually, I also understand that even if he comes back, I probably can’t go back to him like this… General Lane told me about the Cabinet… For safety, wouldn’t it be better to stay apart?”

       Lin Dongliang frowned. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it.

       “It is precisely because of having a firm ideal and an unyielding belief in fighting for it.” Qin Yun said suddenly. He looked at Lin Dongliang and smiled, “I am able to stand here and leave without regrets.”

 

       Shen Zhuofan didn’t open the store early in the morning. He hired someone and trained him for several days before he was finally able to do all the work.

       “I may have to be away from the store for a while.” Boss Shen settled the bill. After thinking about it, he finally put Sweetheart into his bag, “Don’t forget to scoop the litter every day. They don’t like robots… and don’t feed them too much canned food. Several of them have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar…”

       “Boss.” The clerk interrupted him with a sullen expression, “You were so chatty all day yesterday…is this a pattern of you going and never returning?!”

       Shen Zhuofan was rendered speechless, “…Don’t talk nonsense! It’s unlucky!”

 

       During the day, someone from Duke Garcia’s mansion would come out to walk the lions. Sweetheart lay on Shen Zhuofan’s shoulder, wrapping his whole body around the other person’s neck like a furry scarf.

       “Do you still remember the book I read before, which talked about how to unlock hypnosis?” Shen Zhuofan started talking to himself to Sweetheart.

       The Maine Coon cat meowed softly.

       Shen Zhuofan said with a headache: “How can I, a guide who can’t even produce Bonding Heat, seduce an SSS-level sentinel into bed…”

       Sweetheart stopped meowing and began licking her paw with a disdainful expression.

       Shen Zhuofan was troubled for a long time but couldn’t think of any effective way. He hesitated for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to walk to Ke Qing, who was walking the lion.

       “Um…” Boss Shen asked sincerely, “Is your house still short of people to wash the lions?”

 

       When Tristana came to pick up Qin Yun from the hospital, she didn’t see Shen Zhuofan. When she inadvertently asked about it, it turned out that the other party didn’t know either.

       “I haven’t seen him in half a month…” Qin Yun packed his things, “Where is the Secretary of State?”

       “You don’t know?” Tristana was a little surprised, and then she laughed in a good mood, “Duke Arthur has sent troops, and His Majesty will be back today as expected.”

       “Oh…” Qin Yun said slowly, “Is, is that so…”

       The female general nodded, “Yes, Skarter has been lifted from confinement, and Lin Dongliang can finally pick him up.”

       Qin Yun said happily, “That’s great.”

       “But we can’t take it lightly.” Tristana went through the discharge procedures for Qin Yun, “The old witch always likes to do stupid things, and she might stab you later.”

       Qin Yun was so frightened by what she said that he couldn’t help but look around after leaving the hospital entrance.

 

       With just one glance, he spotted Moschery standing in the distance.

 

       His Majesty the Emperor didn’t seem to come over to say hello. He stood still and didn’t move. Because he was too far away, his expression could not be seen clearly. Only Chris behind him waved vigorously towards Qin Yun.

       Qin Yun subconsciously stretched out his hand to respond. He thought about where Zhongyan had gone before he remembered that he could no longer see him.

       “Aren’t you going to send him off?” Chris took back his hand and couldn’t help but look at the people around him, “He seems to really want you to come over…”

       Moschery’s expression was indifferent, and he shook his head, “No need.”

      Chris was stunned for a moment. Chris was taken aback, a bit angry. He complained indignantly, “Ha, turning your back, heartless and cold-blooded!”

       Moschery did not refute. He seemed to have not heard and stared quietly behind Qin Yun.

 

       In a place where no one could see, Zhongyan spread out his huge black wings, and it tenderly hugged his guide from behind, heavy and sad.

 

       Tristana’s expression changed dramatically when she spotted the Cabinet’s banner. She shielded Qin Yun with a grim look, watching as Mrs. Berlin approached nonchalantly.

       “Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital, Guide Qin.” Berlin stopped less than one meter away from Qin Yun. She smiled and said, “You seem to be doing well?”

       Tristana narrowed her eyes, “Thanks to you, we are about to leave.” Just as she was about to pull Qin Yun across the other side, she was blocked by two high-level guides. The female general gritted her teeth, “What does this mean?!”

       Berlin said lightly, “It’s better to come early than to come by chance.” She looked at Qin Yun and put away her smile, “There are still many things on Eta Star that have not been explained clearly. We must ask Guide Qin to come with us.”

       Before Qin Yun could react, two guides held his shoulders down. Just as he was about to struggle, he was suddenly pulled into his arms by a hand stretched out from behind.

 

       Tristana looked surprised and shouted, “Your Majesty!”

       Berlin raised her eyebrows meaningfully, “Your Majesty, why didn’t you take a rest just after you came back? Aren’t you tired?”

       Moschery roughly pressed Qin Yun’s stiff head firmly against his shoulder

       Berlin: “…”

       “It just so happens that you’re here. I can announce something.” Moschery looked at Berlin coldly and raised Qin Yun’s chin with one hand, “In the future, this man will enjoy half of the Empire’s sovereignty.”

       Qin Yun: “??”

       Moschery: “To put it in layman’s terms, I would marry him.”

       Qin Yun: “…??!!!”

Chapter 26 – New Year

January 22, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Yun Po opened the door and saw Feng Junyuan standing outside the door.

       Xia Hongshen looked over and asked, “Something wrong?”

       Feng Junyuan looked a little unhappy. He looked at Yun Po and asked, “Master, how is Yuanyuan?”

       Yun Po opened his mouth to speak but suddenly paused. He closed his mouth, stretched out a hand, and said, “Pay the bill first.”

       Feng Junyuan was stunned. He looked at Yun Po in disbelief for a moment and then looked at Xia Hongshen.

       Surprisingly, Xia Hongshen did not say a word.

       Feng Junyuan suppressed his anger and asked, “How much?”

       Yun Po said, “Since we are all acquainted with each other, I’ll give you a 50% discount. Let’s settle it at two hundred.”

       After hearing this, Feng Junyuan actually took his wallet from his pocket, took out two hundred yuan, and put it in Yun Po’s hand.

       Yun Po accepted the money and was satisfied. He said to Feng Junyuan, “She went to be reincarnated. When she reaches the underworld, there will naturally be a guide. After drinking Meng Po’s soup1is the soup that the dead drink to ‘reset’ themselves, she will forget about her past life and live in peace and contentment in the next life.”

       Feng Junyuan felt relieved after hearing what Yun Po said.

       Yun Po said, “That cunning old fox was after you guys. He set up a barrier in the hospital with the aim of obstructing Xia Hongshen. The spirit of that young girl lingered in the hospital, and sensing Xiang Wenshi’s intentions, she tried to protect you. However, she almost had her soul shattered by Xiang Wenshi.”

       Feng Junyuan lowered his head.

       Yun Po patted him on the shoulder and said, “Forget it. It’s okay.”

       After a moment of silence, Feng Junyuan asked, “What is Song Jun?”

       As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jun’s door opposite opened.

       The conversation between Feng Junyuan and Yun Po stopped, and Feng Junyuan said to Song Jun, “Are you okay?”

       Song Jun reached out and touched the wound on his neck, which still ached slightly from time to time.

       Xia Hongshen walked out of the room and walked towards Song Jun. He raised his hand and touched Song Jun’s neck with his fingers.

       Song Jun suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

       Yun Po looked at him and said, “He’s fine. It’s not tainted with demonic energy.”

       Xia Hongshen took back his hand.

       Yun Po looked at the two of them, then at Feng Junyuan, and suddenly said, “Benefactor Xia, you are enjoying the best of both worlds, living a blissful life. How happy you are. Not like this poor and solitary monk; why don’t you give me one of your treasures?”

       Xia Hongshen gave him a cold look.

       Feng Junyuan frowned and said, “I’m leaving.” After that, he turned and left.

       Xia Hongshen then said to Yun Po, “You can leave too.”

       Yun Po didn’t expect to receive money from Xia Hongshen. He was satisfied with getting two hundred from Feng Junyuan. He picked up his phone and raised it, saying to Xia Hongshen, “Keeping track of the accounts.” Then he wandered towards the stair’s direction.

       There were only two people left, Song Jun and Xia Hongshen.

       Song Jun suddenly became very angry, even sad. He closed the door forcefully without even saying a word to Xia Hongshen.

       If he was just a little depressed before, now Song Jun was sad, not because of Yun Po’s joke, but because Xia Hongshen didn’t even speak to refute Yun Po’s words.

       Enjoying the best of both worlds? Living a blissful life?

       Of course, Song Jun didn’t believe that Xia Hongshen had such intentions. However, he couldn’t help but wonder if he held the same significance in Xia Hongshen’s heart as he thought. If he wasn’t that important, why would Xia Hongshen be so kind to him?

       Lying on the bed, Song Jun took the quilt and covered his head. He felt very tired and didn’t want to do anything for a while.

       At this time, a little black cat jumped up outside the window. The little black cat stood on the windowsill and looked into the room. It could feel that Song Jun was unhappy, but it was not sure why Song Jun was unhappy.

       At times, it felt that the current Song Jun was not the person it used to know. However, when it got closer to him, it could still sense that familiar feeling.

       The little black cat walked back and forth on the windowsill twice, then came over with its tail and lay down.

       It lowered its head, rubbed its face with its paw, and then rested its chin on its front paw, gazing at Song Jun lying on the bed in a daze.

       Song Jun felt that maybe he should keep some distance from Xia Hongshen.

       He thought that he and Xia Hongshen were originally from two different worlds anyway. One day, Xia Hongshen would return to the sky, and he would never see him again. In this case, it was better to keep a distance from him from the beginning.

       In fact, Song Jun had thought about it so much that he was most concerned about Xia Hongshen’s attitude towards him. This was the first time since he was a child that he had a feeling for someone, and he himself was very passive in everything. If Xia Hongshen really didn’t like him, then he would definitely not pester Xia Hongshen.

       Song Jun began to consciously keep some distance from Xia Hongshen. It was not as obvious as last time. After all, it was not as if they could not be friends. However, he always reminded himself that he could not get too deep into this relationship.

       He didn’t know if Xia Hongshen noticed it, or maybe even if he did, he didn’t care. At least on the surface, Song Jun couldn’t feel the change in his attitude.

       However, the little black cat appeared more frequently. Two nights at night, Song Jun saw the little black cat sneaking outside the window and peeking in. He went over to open the window, and the little black cat jumped away immediately.

       Because winter was coming and the weather was getting colder day by day, Song Jun had already taken out the sweaters in the box and put them on, and he would close the dormitory windows at night because the wind blowing in was too cold.

       Several times, when the little black cat came, the window was closed. When Song Jun noticed it and opened the window, it jumped away.

       The large bag of cat food that Xia Hongshen insisted on buying surprisingly hadn’t been finished even after two or three months.

       Unknowingly, it was almost the end of the semester. One day, Xia Hongshen knocked on Song Jun’s door and brought him several sets of test papers. Song Jun saw that they were the test papers from the final exam of his major in previous years.

       “Thank you,” Song Jun said to Xia Hongshen.

       Xia Hongshen shook his head and went back to his room without saying anything.

       The final exams weren’t particularly challenging for Song Jun, especially since several of them were open-book exams. Except for molecular biology, it was unlikely for him to fail any other courses.

       But when the final exams were over, even graduate students started to leave school and prepare to go home for the Spring Festival2Chinese New Year.

       During the Spring Festival in previous years, Song Jun would go back to his grandma. Even if his grandma’s children didn’t like him, as long as he was with grandma, it wouldn’t be a big deal for him to feel a little wronged.

       But this Spring Festival, he had nowhere to go.

       Shortly before the New Year, even Bu Hui finished his internship at the hospital, packed up, and went home to celebrate. However, Song Jun noticed that Xia Hongshen had no plans to leave the school.

       Yes. Xia Hongshen was not an ordinary human being at all. How could he still have a home, let alone go home to celebrate the New Year?

       But no matter what, the fact that Xia Hongshen was still around made Song Jun feel a bit better. He even began to plan, thinking that on New Year’s Eve, he could invite Xia Hongshen to spend time together. After all, watching the Spring Festival’s Gala alone felt quite sad.

       Sometimes Song Jun got curious, wondering if Feng Junyuan went home to celebrate the New Year? Xia Hongshen didn’t have a family, so Feng Junyuan shouldn’t have one either.

       On the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month, it started to snow on New Year’s Eve. In this southern city, snow was a rare thing. Song Jun opened the window at night and saw the snowflakes falling in the night sky, and his mood became better.

       The little black cat ran up to his window sill at this time.

       Song Jun smiled and reached out to hug it in.

       There were a lot of snowflakes on the little black cat’s fur, which quickly turned into water droplets as soon as it entered the house. Song Jun wiped it with a towel. Because he was in a good mood, he picked it up and kissed its forehead.

       The little black cat looked at Song Jun with its crystal eyes, seemingly in a daze.

       Song Jun put it down, went to find a bowl to pour cat food into, and opened a bag of Whiskas bags for it.

       The little black cat was very satisfied with this meal. After eating, he lay on his side on the ground, rolled over, and licked his lips.

       Song Jun felt this was good. At least he had a little thing to accompany him from time to time, and he didn’t seem so lonely alone.

       Seeing that New Year’s Eve was coming, Song Jun knocked on Xia Hongshen’s door one day in advance and invited him to spend the New Year with him.

       Xia Hongshen, of course, did not refuse.

       Song Jun said, “I don’t think there won’t be anything to eat outside tomorrow afternoon. Let’s go to the supermarket to buy some food and then cook it ourselves in the evening.”

       Due to limited conditions, the two of them couldn’t prepare elaborate dishes. However, even when eating instant noodles, they made sure to add a couple of extra sausages to turn it into a delicious meal.

       This winter seemed to be particularly cold, with some light snow sporadically falling for several days in a row.

       When the two of them went out on the afternoon of the 30th, it was still snowing, and Song Jun was wearing an adventure hat. The supermarket was not far outside the school, and the two of them walked there. When he was walking beside Xia Hongshen, Xia Hongshen would always reach out to pull the tip of his hat from time to time.

       Song Jun found Xia Hongshen’s mischievous behaviour a bit amusing and exasperating. He reached out to protect his hat, saying, “Senior Brother Xia, stop fooling around.”

       Inside the supermarket, Song Jun grabbed a shopping cart to buy groceries. His plan was to cook a small hotpot, allowing them to both cook vegetables and have some warm soup on a cold winter day.

       Song Jun wanted to buy ribs to make soup, but Xia Hongshen stood at the fish stall and stared at it for a long time.

       Song Jun went over to stand next to him and asked, “Want to eat fish?”

       Unexpectedly, Xia Hongshen replied, “Don’t want to.”

       Song Jun thought it was strange that he didn’t want to.

       He stood next to Xia Hongshen, looked at it, and said, “Then why don’t we buy a fish to make soup?”

       Xia Hongshen looked at him and said, “Buy it if you like.”

       Song Jun was a little angry for a moment, but he still carefully picked a fish and asked the supermarket salesperson to help him weigh and scale it.

       Most of the others were vegetarian dishes, and Song Jun felt a bit concerned about the money. When paying the bill, Xia Hongshen stood beside him and showed no intention of paying the bill. Song Jun took out his wallet and paid, thinking that he might avoid eating out with Xia Hongshen next time.

       However, Xia Hongshen didn’t stand by and watch when it was time to make dinner. He could do everything, including chopping vegetables, boiling soup, and flavouring, and he was quite good at it.

       Song Jun bought a few bottles of beer in the supermarket, opened them, and drank with Xia Hongshen.

       Xia Hongshen seemed to have a better alcohol tolerance than Song Jun. When Song Jun wanted to drink with him, he drank without saying a word. However, as Song Jun’s face turned bright red and he became somewhat incoherent, Xia Hongshen still maintained his initial calmness.

       Seeing that Song Jun was drunk, Xia Hongshen stood up, picked him up, and put him on the bed.

       Just when he was about to let go of Song Jun, Song Jun suddenly hugged Xia Hongshen tightly, came closer, and kissed him on the lips.

       After the kiss, Song Jun’s face turned red. He didn’t know if it was because of shyness or being drunk, but Xia Hongshen didn’t react at all. He put Song Jun on the bed, stood up, and pulled the quilt to cover Song Jun.

       Song Jun suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and pulled up the quilt to cover his head, not wanting to see Xia Hongshen again.

Chapter 10 – Desire

January 21, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The days passed by quietly. Zhuo Yue spent every day in Hanguan very fulfillingly. He worked out, watched movies, memorised scripts, and practised acting, and Fang Mingyan would often give him some tips and guidance.

       Zhuo Yue went out for a jog that night. When he came back, he found an unfamiliar pair of men’s shoes in the hallway.

       He went up to the third floor and looked up at the corner of the stairs. The light in the corridor on the fourth floor was on. Apparently, Fang Mingyan was ‘entertaining’ his guests in the cage.

       Zhuo Yue didn’t know anything about BDSM before, and he didn’t know what it was until he met Fang Mingyan. The man had many different subs, and Zhuo Yue had seen at least five in the time he had lived here. Fang Mingyan’s attitude towards them was respectful and rigorous. For example, one of the subs was unwilling to show his face, so when he came, the man would ask Zhuo Yue to avoid him. Similarly, their attitude towards Fang Mingyan was as submissive and humble as slaves. Every ‘Master’ word that they said came from the bottom of their hearts, and every look in their eyes was full of adoration. Sometimes, Zhuo Yue didn’t even feel like they were playing a game; the characters and themselves seemed to have become one. He couldn’t understand this relationship, but he had always been tolerant of others, and this tolerance also included accepting different interests and lifestyles. Therefore, he had no particular objection or resistance to Fang Mingyan’s hobbies. Zhuo Yue had never gone upstairs to peep since he caught a cold after taking a cold shower after seeing that unconventional sexual act last time. Subconsciously, he was afraid that he would react in such a way that would make him feel that he was abnormal.

       But Zhuo Yue, who was stopped at the stairs today, couldn’t help but look up with his face raised. He couldn’t explain why, but something in his body seemed to be restless, urging him to go up step by step as if he was possessed by poison and couldn’t control himself. When he came to his senses, he was already standing on the last step of the fourth floor, with the closed black door in front of him.

       Because of its special way of use, the ‘cage’ was designed with sound insulation in mind. The closed door at this moment separated the two worlds, and no sound could be heard. However, just by looking at it, many erotic and lustful images would appear in Zhuo Yue’s mind, such as the tied body, the red whip marks on the naked skin, and the mottled mucus…

       He could seem to hear sounds in my ears, unbearable gasping, ambiguous moans, cries when the climax comes…

       The brain involuntarily fabricated everything. The desire for sensory stimulation occupied the entire world, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion.

       Hot.

       The blood seemed to boil out of thin air, flowing through the body and stirring up desires that were gradually awakening. He let out a long breath as his hand touched his swollen lower abdomen. The last bit of reason was swallowed up, and he was dragged by the devil into the quagmire of desire. The texture of the sweatpants was soft, and the friction between the palms of the fabric gradually increased, and the breathing became more and more rapid. Just as the thirst for desire clamoured to take over his entire body, the door in front of him suddenly opened without warning.

       Fang Mingyan, who was pushing out the door, was startled when he saw Zhuo Yue standing by the stairs. His eyes stayed on the flushed face for a few seconds, then went down, landing on the awkward part blocked by his hand. He understood the situation somewhat and closed the door behind him.

       His sudden appearance made Zhuo Yue freeze on the spot. Panic and shame made him turn around and run away like a frightened deer. At this moment, he was so confused that he could not remember that he was already standing on the edge of the stairs. He stepped on the empty void with his right foot, lost his balance and was about to fall. At that moment, a big hand grabbed his arm tightly and pulled him into his arms.

       Hanguan, wrapped in the night, was brightly lit. In the corridor on the fourth floor, Zhuo Yue, who was still in shock, was held in Fang Mingyan’s arms.

       Close to each other, face to face.

       “Always so careless,” the man’s low voice whispered into Zhuo Yue’s ear, like the deep tones of a nocturne, captivating and melodious. It sounded like reprimand yet carried a hint of indulgent intimacy.

       Zhuo Yue felt that the heat was steaming again as if being roasted by a slow fire, and a fine layer of sweat formed on his back. He looked up awkwardly. Fang Mingyan’s eyes were deep and dark, and under the straight bridge of his nose, his thin lips seemed to always have a vague smile, making it difficult for people to see through.

       “Lust is a necessity of life.” The man held Zhu Yue’s waist, changed the angle and pressed him against the wall, whispering in a low voice, “How to get pleasure from desire is my area of expertise. So, I can help you.”

       “No need…I…” Zhuo Yue’s dry refusal was blocked by the hand that covered his lower abdomen; his body shivered, and a gasp escaped from his parched throat.

       The other man’s hand covered the raised part between his legs through soft sweatpants. Zhuo Yue’s face turned bright red. Breathing became difficult, and his heartbeat easily fell out of rhythm in the resonance between them.

       “Don’t… Let it go…” He tried to push the other person away, but his lower body was shaken by the pain from the other person’s strong grip, “Ah─”

       “Don’t move.” Fang Mingyan’s deep voice had a bewitching tone, “You don’t need to do anything. Just leave everything to me.”

       With his most vulnerable part being held in someone’s hands, Zhuo Yue did not dare to struggle anymore and could only beg for mercy, “Let me go. This is wrong. I don’t need you to help me do this kind of thing… Nhg…” When the man’s hand began to stroke up and down, his body trembled, and he let out a suppressed nasal sound uncontrollably. The sound was soft and gentle, like a cat’s meowing.

       As a top Dom, Fang Mingyan’s control over Sub was absolutely outstanding. He knew how to arouse desire and make the other person feel pleasure. The loose sweatpants had already slipped to the ground. The friction between the gentle and sometimes heavy movements and the underwear made Zhuo Yue twist his waist impatiently, “Fang Mingyan, stop it… let go…”

       “It’s getting harder and harder.” The man chuckled and put his hand into his underwear, wrapped his sac with his palm, then slowly moved it upward and used his fingertips to scratch the small hole exposed at the top of his genitals, and he got what he wanted. He heard the other party’s rapid breathing.

       Zhuo Yue, who was completely aroused by Fang Mingyan’s desire, lost the ability to think. All his feelings were concentrated on the place where the man’s palm touched, like a lonely ship lost in the stars and unable to find its way back. All that remained of his sanity was the inescapable sense of shame. He closed his eyes tightly, bit his lips until they were blood red, and tried his best to control himself, not wanting to let out a shameful moan.

       “Don’t hold it back.” Fang Mingyan changed the angle, letting him lean against the wall, and calmed his emotions softly, “I am the only one here. No one else will hear you. Relax.”

       “Hngh ngh…” As the speed of his strokes increased, Zhuo Yue finally let out a moan that sounded like a cry. There was a thin layer of mist in his eyes, and his rose-coloured lips were open, panting like a fish out of water. His head was thrown back as if he couldn’t bear it and wanted more. Zhuo Yue, who was in the throes of passion, was so seductive that the colour of the man’s eyes deepened, and the movements of his hands became more and more intense. Zhuo Yue, who rarely masturbated, couldn’t stand his teasing like this. He yelled and ejaculated and fell limply in his arms while trembling. It took a while for him to recover from the afterglow of his climax. He was very embarrassed and wanted to break away, but Fang Mingyan firmly trapped Zhuo Ye between him and the wall.

       “Do you feel good?” the man asked.

       Zhuo Yue’s cheeks were red, and he stared at him with his watery eyes without saying anything. His slender neck was exposed from the loose collar, his hair was messed up, and his Adam’s apple was trembling. This man with an ascetic temperament exuded a unique and alluring aura at this moment, which made Fang Mingyan lose his concentration. He stared at the person in his arms, frowned slightly, and slowly moved his head downward.

       The originally tight distance became even closer.

       It was so close that it was disconcerting.

       Zhuo Yue couldn’t tell whose heart was beating non-stop. He felt as if the oxygen around him had been drained, and it became increasingly difficult to breathe. His mind was in chaos, and he couldn’t say a word. However, there seemed to be a crack somewhere in the bottom of his heart, and a thin and soft light shone through.

       Time froze, and everything stood still. Only the tiny airflow brought by the man’s warm breath intertwined and lingered between his breaths. The eyelashes fluttered down, covering his eyes.

       Just when he was about to close his eyes, the other party laughed softly and asked, “Do you need another round?”

       Zhuo Yue froze, lowered his head, and pushed him away hard. He then went downstairs in three steps at a time.

       The man standing at the top of the stairs looked at his back, his eyes deep and did not move for a long time.

       When Zhuo Yue returned to the room, he immersed himself in the bathtub as if he wanted to use the water to block out the unbearable reality. However, the body faithfully remembered the absurd and exciting interaction just now.

       The warmth of being wrapped, the pleasure of being rubbed… This should have been the most private secret, but because of another person’s intervention, it brought unprecedented stimulation and pleasure. At this moment, he was shamelessly thinking about everything just now.

       At that time, the moment before the climax, the only person who appeared in his mind…

       The name he almost called out…

       Zhuo Yue, who was about to suffocate, suddenly stood up from his sitting position and breathed in panic.

       He was like a drowning man, clinging to the edge of the bathtub and hanging his head.

       It’s wrong… there must be something wrong.

       This must not continue.
