Chapter 213: It’s Sweet. Double CP are Sweet Together

“It’s getting late, so go to bed early,” Bai Qingquan said.

“I’ll take a shower first,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan nodded, then went into the master bedroom, closed the door, sat on the bed, thought for a while, got out of bed again, and opened the door.

After doing this, he laid down on the bed again. The bed he slept on was big. He usually sleeps alone with two pillows. One for leaning against and the other as a bolster. He moved one pillow to the side, thinking that Shi Lei might come and sleep with him later. His heart rippled at just the thought.

As he was thinking about it, he heard Shi Lei calling him. He hurriedly jumped out of bed and responded. Shi Lei said in the bathroom, “I don’t have any extra clothes. Can you give me a pair of pajamas?”

“Can you wear my pajamas?” As Bai Qingquan said it, he went to the closet and brought out his pajamas. His pajamas were very girly, with white and blue plaid, and there was a big red strawberry on the chest.

He pushed the bathroom door open, and from the gap, he handed his clothes to Shi Lei. He heard Shi Lei say, “It’s okay. You can come in.”

Bai Qingquan suddenly realized that Shi Lei might not be wearing clothes right now. There was a certain issue that was on his mind, and now he could take a peek, so he could know in advance.

Bai Qingquan became excited all of a sudden. He pursed his lips and secretly peeked into the crack of the door. Sure enough, he saw Shi Lei naked as he was putting on his pajamas, but the pajamas hadn’t been worn yet.

Bai Qingquan only felt a shock all over, and his face flushed immediately.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Sure enough….

He said that a man like Shi Lei, who was full of masculinity, must have a lot of capital. Now that the facts were in front of him, it was even more magnificent than he thought. Bai Qingquan only felt like he was burning all over. He sneaked back to his bedroom and climbed into bed. All that lingered in his mind was the glimpse he just had.

Bai Qingquan rolled around with the blanket in his arms and couldn’t help but take out his phone and share the news with Shen Jintai.

However, at the other end, Shen Jintai didn’t have time to take his call as Yan Qiuchi was present. Yan Qiuchi was very serious this time and said he wanted to have a good talk with Shen Jintai.

“The phone’s ringing,” Shen Jintai said.

“You can call them back later,” Yan Qiuchi said.

Seeing that he was very serious, Shen Jintai sat upright on the sofa and looked at Yan Qiuchi.

“Did you come to the set to avoid me?”

“I promised Director Guo and the others. Besides, if I make an appearance in your company’s dramas, it’ll be good for it,” Shen Jintai said. “…Well, I’ll be honest. It’s a bit…”

“Are you reluctant to sleep with me?” Yan Qiuchi asked.

“No.” Shen Jintai licked his lips and said, “It’s just…”

“Too much, right?” Yan Qiuchi asked again.

Yan Qiuchi was serious, as he didn’t feel any hints of embarrassment when talking about this kind of topic. He looked at Shen Jintai directly with a calm expression.

Truthfully, it wasn’t. However, Shen Jintai felt ashamed and embarrassed to talk about it. He was actually a relatively calm person. Unlike Bai Qingquan, who acted shy, he was open-minded about sex and wouldn’t refuse, but right now he felt shameful.

“Then are you uncomfortable and psychologically resistant?”

Shen Jintai shook his head. Yan Qiuchi was so serious that he obviously regarded this as a very important issue. He didn’t understand, and he felt that it would affect their relationship if things weren’t cleared up.

“Then are you comfortable? Do you like it?”

Shen Jintai pursed his lips tightly, his expression indifferent, but his face and ears were red, and he nodded.

“Then what’s the matter with you? You keep pushing and blocking at every turn and keep running away,” Yan Qiuchi said. “Especially this time. I thought I made you angry… Is it because I get too emotional sometimes and act too recklessly that it’s too much?”

Shen Jintai was about to react to what he said. His body was more honest as those words brought back memories. He intended to air things out and speak clearly.

“I just think… it’s embarrassing.”

He felt delirious and coquettish every time he was attacked. When he came back to his senses, he felt he wanted to crawl under a rock because Yan Qiuchi was too overwhelming. People with strong psychological and physical endurance like him would collapse.

If he could freely show his ugliness, he wouldn’t be so ashamed. What made him even more ashamed was that he was so happy that he was lost in ecstasy that he couldn’t even control his saliva, which splattered everywhere. The more he lost his inhibitions, the more ashamed he felt…

He had now tasted the bone marrow.

He felt that he lost his dignity as both a woman and a man. Especially last time. He had… peed.  

He couldn’t be reconciled with this because, in his heart, he loved it, and this love for it made him ashamed and afraid. He felt that he had been completely transformed by Yan Qiuchi and was no longer the calm and determined Shen Jintai that he used to be.

Now that he’d let it out in the open, he simply told it all.

Yan Qiuchi finally smiled as he leaned against him and whispered, “What’s so embarrassing about a couple doing things behind closed doors? If you like it, it makes me feel happy. The more you like it, the better. Even if you think it’s ugly, I always think you look best when you look like that. I love it.”

Shen Jintai said, “You’re not the one who has back pain when you stand and walk. It’s not you who is embarrassed.”

“You’re the baby in my heart. My baobei. You’re the best, no matter what. I love you so much that no matter what you do, I’ll still love you. You don’t know just how much this husband loves and adores you…” Yan Qiuchi said in a low voice as he kissed him on the cheek.

Shen Jintai said, “I have to film tomorrow.”

“I know. Just sleep in my arms. I won’t do anything, okay?”

Shen Jintai no longer believed this man’s mouth, which was a deceitful ghost. Still, he felt that Yan Qiuchi acted sincere this time, and what he said was not a lie. If he wanted to be restrained, he had the willpower to do so.

“Then when I can’t bear it to let you stop in the future, you can’t make it worse. The more I don’t stop you, the fiercer you become,” Shen Jintai said.

“It’s useless for me to promise you now,” Yan Qiuchi said. “At that time, it’s not my brain that dominates my body, so I have a hard time listening… I have already said that the two of us can do whatever we want behind closed doors. No one is there to see it. As long as you enjoy it, then it’s fine. Look at me, in front of others and in front of you, I’m like two kinds of person.”

“I was deceived by the way you looked on the outside!” Shen Jintai said.

Yan Qiuchi, who used to be innocent and abstinent, was so charming. After the doors closed, he changed his face, and his gentlemanly clothes were stripped into a beast.

“I love you the most. I never thought you were ugly or embarrassing. On the contrary, I felt that you looked best in private. It’s a side that only I can see in this entire world,” Yan Qiuchi said.

The two of them cuddled and laid down for a while. Yan Qiuchi said again, “It’s been hanging in my heart for the past two days. I really couldn’t stand it. I had to run over to make it clear to you because I thought you wouldn’t like it. It turns out that you liked it too much.”

Shen Jintai blushed. “Shut up.”

Yan Qiuchi asked, “How many days do you have to shoot?”

“It is estimated that it will take two or three days to shoot.” Tomorrow would be the highlight of the drama. There were many actors appearing, and this kind of group shot will be difficult to capture. It would take at least a day just to shoot this scene.

“Then I’ll come pick you up after?”

Speaking of these serious matters, Shen Jintai gradually calmed down. “No, it’s hard for you to drive back and forth. It’s so far.”

Yan Qiuchi was usually very busy at work. He left early and returned late every day, and he occasionally traveled for business trips… Shen Jintai really admired his energy. Despite being so busy with work, he was still so vigorous and demanding in bed.

All he could say was that the male protagonist of a danmei was extremely talented.

Now that things were cleared up, Yan Qiuchi went to take a shower. Shen Jintai returned to bed, saw that Bai Qingquan had called him, and immediately called back. As soon as the call went through, it was immediately connected. Bai Qingquan lowered his voice and said, “I’m not free now. I’ll talk to you tomorrow!”

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Shit, there was a situation over there.

Bai Qingquan hung up the phone and listened carefully to the reaction outside. He just heard Shi Lei going into the next bedroom.

Will he come to his room? Come on. Come on.

Bai Qingquan laid down on the quilt and stared at the door in the dark. The door to his room wasn’t fully closed and was slightly left ajar. The light from outside came in, and the sound of footsteps could be faintly heard.

After a while, he heard Shi Lei’s footsteps approaching and walked towards his room. Bai Qingquan’s heart was beating like a drum, and he quickly closed his eyes. However, after waiting for a while, he heard the sound of the door of the next room closing, and then there was silence outside.

Shi Lei actually went back to his room. Bai Qingquan opened his blanket. He was covered in sweat, despite the air conditioning being on.

He sat up in bed for a while before lying back down again. He couldn’t stop thinking about Shi Lei in his mind. Thinking about his tall and strong figure, thinking about the smell of his body, and thinking about his…

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Bai Qingquan got out of bed, put on his slippers in the dark, left the room, and then walked to the door of the next room. He stopped for a while before he pushed open the door and went in. Shi Lei knew what kind of person he was, so he didn’t need to pretend to be a pure fairy.

Kinky Thoughts:

I’m really glad for this chapter. It actually clears up the air between Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi and explains why Shen Jintai was so reluctant to have sex. Too often danmei don’t really delve into this issue… you know COMMUNICATION.

I can also see Shen Jintai POV. Well, those things can be quite embarrassing. If you have an idea of what sex is but then end up with a totally different experience, it could be hard to get over that hump. However, at the end of the day, sex isn’t a shameful thing, (and the things that inadvertently could happen during it). After all, real life sex isn’t like porn, where everything is clean and tidy. Shit (sometimes literally) will sometimes happen, but what goes on in your bedroom is between two lovers, so go wild! The most important thing is that it’s consensual and that the parties involved get enjoyment from it.

Chapter 212: Shi Lei Visits the Set and the Fairy Returns

Shen Jintai was angry. He was really angry. He felt that he was already a very cooperative person when it came to sex, but Yan Qiuchi was really demanding.

He didn’t know if it was because of the inherent talent as the male protagonist in a danmei, but Yan Qiuchi seemed to be a fighter among men. He was neither tired nor could become empty. Moreover, he had started experimenting in new positions now. However, due to some of the rewards given to him by Xiao Ai, some of the movements felt so fierce that he couldn’t bear them.

“Work again?” Li Meilan said, “Jintai, to be honest, I’m really happy that you have such a strong sense of professionalism. However, with a schedule that’s a little over a month, the time is not enough. The policy and strategy we set for this year is to try not to appear on variety shows, and brand activities are not available all the time. The route the team has set for you emphasizes quality over quantity. Do you really want to compete for business against third- and fourth-tier artists?”

Celebrities of different status had different levels of activities and endorsements. It wasn’t conducive in the long term to rob other artists of their jobs and offend people. Besides, Shen Jintai was regarded as an artist with great resources and intensive work. He had already produced two masterpieces in a single year, which was relatively rare among first-line artists.

“Haven’t you contacted the crew from <Night Talk at the Ming Palace>?” Shen Jintai said as he lay in bed.

Li Meilan said, “Meng Xiaosheng said that she’s still perfecting your role.”

Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi were both big-name artists now. They both starred in <The East Palace is Coming> so Guo Rui and Meng Xiaosheng would not refuse if they wanted to join this new drama. However, Meng Xiaosheng was a very conscientious screenwriter, so she felt that if they were to invite these two as guests, they had to be given a bright role.

Zheng Siqi’s role had been decided. He would be the son of the prime minister, but Shen Jintai’s role hadn’t been decided yet. Since Shen Jintai was a bigger star than Zheng Siqi, his role had to be more radiant.

Shen Jintai planned to urge Meng Xiaosheng to hurry.

While the two were making a guest appearance in <Night Talk at the Ming Palace>, they would still earn benefits left over from The East Palace. It was good for both of them to appear in this drama, as it was a mutually beneficial win-win situation for both sides. If they wanted to make a cameo, they would have to appear in the first episode, which meant that filming had to be completed within half a month so the content of the first episode could be finished by the time it’s broadcast one month later.

Meng Xiaosheng worked day and night and finally assigned him the role of the champion*.

*This is the person who places first in the imperial examination.

When Bai Qingquan heard that he was going to join the crew, he called Shen Jintai. “Bring Shi Lei with you too.”

“Can’t you just let him visit you?”

“The company said that it is best not to expose our relationship now. If I ask him to visit the set, there’ll be people who’ll be suspicious about it. If you bring him, no one in the crew will question it. He’s also familiar with you.”

Thus, Shen Jintai took Shi Lei with him. This was the first time Shi Lei had been on set, and it was the first time he could see behind the scenes how filming works.

When they arrived, it was already dark. The weather was hot in the summer, but the crew was filming a winter scene with heavy snow. Artificial snow was flying above as Bai Qingquan, dressed in a red robe with a black belt around his waist, followed Emperor Wu cautiously.

While watching the scene live was normal, when he looked in from the monitor, it was like seeing a heavenly being. The scene and that person were so captivating.

Shi Lei watched with bated breath. Bai Qingquan descended to the earth when he was with him, and as soon as he started filming, he flew up to the heavens like a fairy again.

Shen Jintai turned his head and glanced at him, seeing the crazed look in his eyes and a smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Zheng Siqi also arrived, and together with Shen Jintai, they received the latest flying page.

“Editor Meng still likes flying pages so much.” Shen Jintai said with a smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Xiaosheng arranged for the two of them to appear together in <Night Talk at the Ming Palace>.

The first case in this drama was weird and intriguing.

After the arrival of the scholars, a flower banquet* was held in the Xinglin Garden. The two scholars with the best looks would be selected as flower envoys to welcome the champion into the garden. Who knew that an incident would happen along the way? The two flower envoys were killed by a murderer who was dressed as a bride in red and who then dumped their bodies on the street. The murderer said that he would kill seven new scholars, frightening the people of Chang’an, sending them into a panic.

*Banquet that’s held after the imperial examination.

The two of them had seen Guo Rui more recently, but Meng Xiaosheng hadn’t seen them for a long time. When they got together, everyone was excited. They held a smell meeting overnight to talk about the next day’s shoot.

Tomorrow, the flower banquet will be filmed, which is the first big scene of the drama.

After the meeting, the three of them returned to the hotel together.

“When you came, I seemed to see Shi Lei. Did he visit the set?”

“Seems like someone misses him and asked a certain person to bring him over. Now he’s waiting in that someone’s room,” Shen Jintai said.

Bai Qingquan became embarrassed and said, “The hickeys on your neck aren’t covered, so you shouldn’t chide me.”

When Shen Jintai heard this, his smile immediately frowned.

Zheng Siqi smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s a costume drama that covers everything up.”

As he said it, he turned his head and looked at Bai Qingquan. “Shi Lei is here. Is he staying with you or in another room?”

Bai Qingquan didn’t expect that Zheng Siqi had asked about this. His face turned red, and he said, “I’m staying in a luxury suite, so he’s sleeping in the room next to mine.”

Ahhhhhhhhhh. His mind had been exposed!

Sure enough, Zheng Siqi’s and Shen Jintai’s eyes held intrigue. He considered Shen Jintai a sister, and they often teased each other without restraint, but he was still embarrassed since Zheng Siqi was also here.

“Already…” Shen Jintai then raised his eyebrows.

“No!” Bai Qingquan said, “We both agreed before we came.”

“A man’s mouth is a deceitful ghost*.” Shen Jintai felt it.

*It means the things that come out of a man’s mouth are unrealistic (like a ghost).

Zheng Siqi said, “What happened between you and President Yan?”

Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan looked at him together. Oh shit, Zheng Siqi had been with them for too long and was now influenced by them. He was no longer the introverted, innocent little straight man with few words.

After returning to the hotel, Bai Qingquan turned to look at Shen Jintai, who was not far away, when he took out his room card. After staring for a bit, he felt a little guilty and quickly opened the door.

Qian Wei and Shi Lei were inside drinking.

“You’re back,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan said “Nn” and saw Qian Wei looking back at him with a drunken look. “You’re back so late.”

“There was a meeting with Director Guo and the others,” Bai Qingquan said while taking off his shoes. “Why are you two still drinking?”

“Only a little bit,” Qian Wei said.

Bai Qingquan went to shower, and after he came out, he saw that Qian Wei was still there. He glanced at Shi Lei, and the two smiled at each other. They had a few drinks together with Qian Wei before he said, “Wei Ge, let’s stop here for today.”

“There is still half a bottle left.”

“I’ll finish it,” Shi Lei said.

“I still don’t know how much you can drink,” Qian Wei said. “This half bottle is probably nothing to you.”

Qian Wei stayed with them until eleven before leaving. As he left, he said to Bai Qingquan: “You have to get up early tomorrow morning to film the highlight, so you need to rest early.”

Bai Qingquan said, “I know.”

“What do you know?” Qian Wei said as he shut the door.

Bai Qingquan turned his head and saw Shi Lei cleaning up the table.

“Wei Ge didn’t mean to drink so much,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan wanted to help, but Shi Lei blocked him with his arm. “I’ll do it.”

He poured all the leftovers into the trash can and said, “He’s worried about letting me sleep with you.”

Bai Qingquan deliberately said, “There’s a guest room. Didn’t you tell him?”

Shi Lei glanced up at him and smiled. He seemed to have cut his hair again, as it was now shorter than an inch. His facial features appeared more vivid and sharp. His neck was long and sturdy, and his shoulders were wide. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a white flame pattern on it and was wearing black and white jeans… This was the first time Bai Qingquan saw Shi Lei dressed like a young man.

Like Yan Qiuchi, Shi Lei could easily make people forget his true age. While they were only in their twenties, they were already big bosses, which gave them an air of maturity and stability.

Shi Lei was one year older than him. His achievements may not be as good as Yan Qiuchi’s, but for a person who came from a small place in that kind of family condition, it was already remarkable that he could accomplish such an achievement at this age. For someone so young, he could be regarded as promising.

In Bai Qingquan’s heart, he felt that Shi Lei was amazing, even more amazing than Yan Qiuchi, who was a successful person who was standing on the shoulder of a giant. Shi Lei worked step by step, sweat by sweat, as a poor, naïve boy, and earned little by little to become what he was today.

He felt sorry for him but also thought how amazing this person was. In his mind, Shi Lei was a tough and capable man.

In the future, he will be more capable and harder in your mind.

Chapter 211: Jintai Qiuchi’s Housewarming

“Breaking news! The most anticipated costume drama of the year, <Night Talk at the Ming Palace>, has released the makeup photos!”

“Not to mention anything else, Bai Qingquan is really suitable for ancient costumes. So handsome and has unparalleled beauty.”

“This drama is really the drama I’m most looking forward to. It’s produced by Sunshine Media, the director is Guo Rui, the screenwriter is Meng Xiaosheng, and the male lead is Bai Qingquan. They are all from the production team of <The East Palace is Coming>. That year was dominated by <The East Palace is Coming> so we can expect this to be the drama king of this year.”

“Not to mention the quality of word-of-mouth, the popularity will be extremely high. There are too many people who have lingering feelings for the East Palace. The most regrettable thing is that Touhua won’t be in it.”

“Shen Jintai is now focusing on the big screen. In fact, I also hope that he can act in a TV series again and take the Emperor for the Guohua Awards. This way he’ll have a grand slam in both television and film.”

“Isn’t Touhua going to make a guest appearance? In the first episode, he and Zheng Siqi will guest star, so the show’s premiere will be quite stable.”

“The protagonist of this drama is the scholar under Emperor Wu, played by Bai Qingquan. There’s no female match for him, though, so it seems that Bai Qingquan won’t have any romantic scenes in this drama. It looks like his sexual orientation had somewhat affected his career.”

“In the past two years, the subject matter in film and television has truly blossomed. It’s no longer like the past, where heterosexual relationships in dramas have dominated. Same-sex, crime series, suspense, male-focused streaming* and the like have all made a rise. The acting careers of the two of them greatly affected the landscape. If this was only a few years ago, they both would have to retire.”

*(男频流) This is a genre that focuses on a handsome male protagonist in a fast-paced media. Think infinite flow or where the protagonist transmigrates to different worlds.

“After all, <The East Palace is Coming> was too bloody. I have always felt that this drama has a profound impact not only on the film and television industries but also on a social level. It had greatly changed the public’s acceptance of gays and broadened new subject matter for film and television dramas. I hope that <Night Talk at the Ming Palace> will also bring surprises. Bai Qingquan’s acting skill is fine, but I also hope that Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi will guest star as well.”

Like <The East Palace is Coming>, <Night Talk at the Ming Palace> also used the broadcast while filming model, which meant that the filming schedule was quite compact. Bai Qingquan stayed with the crew and occasionally filmed late into the night, so he didn’t have much time for his bedtime calls with Shi Lei.

However, once the filming for the drama was over, Bai Qingquan’s new house would be ready to move in. He hadn’t made preparations to move in yet, but Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi were already preparing their move.

Fang Fengmei felt reluctant. “The second son is still abroad, and now his heart has gone wild. He won’t even talk about coming back during the holidays. The boss and Xiao Jin are also moving away.”

Fortunately, she’s no longer just a housewife who had nothing to do all day. She and Yan Tiefeng worked together to assist their son with the company, so she didn’t have as much idle time as before.

“Young people nowadays are like this. They all like to live separately from their parents,” Yan Tiefeng said. “I heard that Lao Shen sent a sofa set to their new house. Should we also make a show, so we don’t fall behind him?”

“You two always try to compete with each other,” Fang Fengmei said with a smile. “I asked the boss, and he said that their new home isn’t lacking anything. I just prepared a four-piece set for them, so that’ll do the trick.”

When they moved in, Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi invited their family members from both sides to attend dinner in their new home. They had invited some staff to prepare the meals for them. Bai Qingquan and Zheng Siqi sent flowers to congratulate them, which Shen Jintai took and put in vases.

He sat on the ground and cut the flower branches while Yan Qiuchi, who was more organized than him, was responsible for the unpacking. This time, they brought their daily necessities as Shen Jintai was planning to take a break for a month so he could stay in their new home.

From the towels, which were black and white, to the toothbrushes, everything was couple-related. The cup that held their toothbrushes was a couple’s model sent by their fan. The pattern printed on it was Qiuchi Yingjintai.

In addition to that, even their slippers and the like were all color-coded in black and white, giving a simple and clear vibe, matching Yan Qiuchi’s style.

Their house was a single-family villa, just for the two of them. With fewer people and more rooms, Yan Qiuchi had asked someone to redecorate two of the rooms to open them up, making the master bedroom and living room much larger than before. As a celebrity, Shen Jintai had countless outfits; thus, Yan Qiuchi set aside a room reserved just for his personal closet. When you entered, the clothes were organized neatly. To one side were all the formal clothes, then casual clothes, and drawers that were dedicated to underwear. There was an area dedicated to belts, watches, ties, and a row just for shoes.

Fang Fengmei, Liu Qi, and the others were touring the house. When they arrived at the closet, Fang Fengmei smiled and said, “Look at their clothes. Apart from black, white, and gray, there are almost no other colors.”

Despite being a big star, Shen Jintai’s style was relatively traditional and low-key. All his brightly colored clothing was mainly worn when he attended events. He usually liked a simple and formal style, which was highly consistent with Yan Qiuchi’s aesthetics.

“At first glance, this house is decorated in Qiuchi’s style,” Yan Tiefeng said. “It’s too simple.”

The tone was too cold. Even Shen Ruhai had to agree with Yan Tiefeng’s sentiment. They were both middle-aged old men who like the European court style that’s dominated by gold, preferring the elegant and bright look.

However, after the remodel that opened up the house, it had a very open floor plan with many windows that brought in light from outside, brightening up the place, which gave off a very warm feeling.

Fang Fengmei’s favorite things are the small details in the house, such as the pairs of toiletries in the bathroom and the table lamps at the head of the bed. While the main colors and the room looked simple and cold, the small details provided warmth and sprinkled sweetness everywhere.

Dinner lasted until 9 p.m. Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi escorted the two families out and already had the car prepared for them. As Fang Fengmei put on her coat, she asked, “Is security in this community good? Don’t let any illegitimate rice get mixed in.”

“Most people can’t get into this community,” Yan Qiuchi said. The people who lived here were all wealthy. He and Shen Jintai had been here several times and usually would walk around. Even when they encountered someone who recognized Shen Jintai, they would at most give a double take, but no one had ever approached them for a photo.

After sending them away, the staff cleaned up and left after finishing their jobs. As soon as Shen Jintai laid down on the sofa, Yan Qiuchi leaned over and said with a smile, “They’re all gone now. Let’s take a bath.”

Shen Jintai glanced at him. “What are you doing?”

“What do you mean? It’s a housewarming.”

“So what?”

Yan Qiuchi’s face had a light and abstinence-like look, which matched the black t-shirt he was wearing, making him look even more handsome and cool. He said, “This is our first night in our new home. As its masters, we must leave our mark in every room.”

Shen Jintai: “You need to be more specific. What kind of mark?”

“The mark of love,” Yan Qiuchi said. “Stop talking. Get up and let’s take a bath.”

As he said, he started to pull Shen Jintai. Shen Jintai struggled and refused to get up. “Yan Qiuchi, look at what you have become now. Your heart is just like a stallion. When Uncle Yan and the others were here, you acted like an obedient dog.”

Yan Qiuchi was too good at disguising. Shen Ruhai and the others probably think that he was an upright gentleman who didn’t mess around.

Relying on his height and physique, Yan Qiuchi directly picked up Shen Jintai as he kicked with his legs indiscriminately. “I’m going to scream rape.”

Who knew that this would only make Yan Qiuchi even more excited when he heard this? “Scream it! Even if you cry out, no one will hear. Isn’t the purpose of moving out, buying a single-family home, and being so far away from your neighbors exactly for this?”

Shen Jintai: “…”

What a beast!

In the car, Liu Qi smiled and said to Shen Ruhai, “The more I look at Qiuchi and Jintai now, the more I think they are a good match. Qiuchi is so sensible, filial, and mature.”

Usually, when Shen Jintai was filming and wouldn’t be able to visit for a long while, Yan Qiuchi would occasionally invite the couple to dinner and visit them. Now Yan Qiuchi was already at the helm of the Yan clan. He was young, capable, and stable, and was starting to develop more and more into a leader. This was an excellent choice for a son-in-law.

Thus, Shen Ruhai was able to quickly accept him. In addition to possessing excellent qualities, Yan Qiuchi also possessed a gentlemanly temperament that was restrained and steady, looking very clean and pure. His mood was very similar to that of someone marrying off a daughter. The advantage of marrying him to Yan Qiuchi was that he didn’t give off the feeling that “the cabbage he had raised for years was going to be eaten by a pig*”. It felt more like he was handing over a flower that would be protected and spoiled. Leaving Shen Jintai in Yan Qiuchi’s hand, he felt reassured.

*Idiom referring to someone who has put a lot of time and effort into something, only to have it taken away or used by someone or something unworthy or undeserving.

Outside of the villa, someone was walking a puppy as it slowly wandered under the streetlight. Suddenly, a faint shout could be heard coming from a house. The puppy immediately raised its ears and turned to look at the direction of the noise.

Shen Jintai grabbed the bathroom door with one arm, struggled a few times, and with an “ah” he was dragged back in again. His body was pinned against the mist-covered glass door as faint water marks appeared on it.

Late into the night, Shen Jintai was lying at the end of the bed, sobbing and cursing, “You’re not human at all… I… I’m blind…”

The moon on this day was excellent. It gradually rose to its highest point, then slowly slanted westward. Shen Jintai laid himself in Yan Qiuchi’s arms. He had stopped cursing and only wept weakly.

“Okay, okay. It’s over. Stop crying,” Yan Qiuchi comforted him in a warm voice.

Shen Jintai opened his mouth and took a hard bite on his shoulder, only to find that he didn’t even have the strength to bite. He felt like a rag doll.

He would call Sister Lan tomorrow and see if there were any activities to pick up. It was okay if he had to go to the countryside. It didn’t matter if it was a rich area or not. Otherwise, he would be waiting for Yan Qiuchi at home every day for more than a month!

Had <Night Talk at the Ming Palace> started filming? Was there a suitable role for him? Bai Qingquan was his good friend, and Guo Rui and Meng Xiaosheng are both good acquaintances. He could contribute to this drama. Perhaps it was good to make a cameo.

The author has something to say:

Applause and sprinkle flowers for the housewarming of the Jintai Qiuchi.

Congratulations.

Xiao Bai’s and Sishi’s housewarming is still ahead.

Chapter 210: Phone Calls Can Also Deepen Feelings

Yesterday’s call was accidental.

The new drama <Night Talk at the Ming Palace> was directed by Guo Rui, the director of <The East Palace is Coming> and produced by Sunshine Media, was about to begin shooting. Bai Qingquan had been with the crew for the script reading for the past two days, so he hadn’t seen Shi Lei during this time.

When he returned to the hotel yesterday, it was already late at night. No matter how late it got, they would always call each other before going to bed. After he washed up and laid down on the bed, he called Shi Lei.

However, the call kept ringing, but no one picked it up. He was worried that Shi Lei might be drunk. Shi Lei had told him earlier that he had a friend who was getting married, and he was his best man because of his high alcohol tolerance, so he was in charge of stopping drinks for him.

He put the phone down and was about to go to bed. As soon as he became drowsy, his phone rang. It was Shi Lei calling. As soon as he connected, he heard Shi Lei’s slightly hoarse voice asking, “Just came back?”

“Are you asleep?”

Shi Lei: “Nn. After drinking so much, I became sleepy. I fell asleep after lying down for a while.”

“You didn’t drink too much, did you?”

Shi Lei smiled and said, “Honestly, I haven’t drunk this much in years. When I was in junior high, I drank a lot.”

Bai Qingquan put his phone on speaker and set it on the pillow.

“What are you doing?” Shi Lei asked.

“In bed. I almost fell asleep.”

“Tired?”

“Not tired.” Bai Qingquan had a lot to talk about with Shi Lei, especially since he started reading the script for <Night Talk at the Ming Palace>. It was well written, so he was very excited. He told Shi Lei about all the interesting things that happened during the script reading today. As soon as his chatterbox opened, he couldn’t stop it. Shi Lei was diligent, as he listened to him and would ask questions from time to time.

The book that this drama is based on, and that Guo Rui chose naturally, wasn’t a regular film, especially after the explosion from <The East Palace is Coming>. <Night Talk at the Ming Palace> is a costume detective drama. The first portion of the drama was very exciting, and the current script was only written for the first six episodes.

After talking about the script, they moved on to the wedding reception that Shi Lei attended.

“I have been the best man four times,” Shi Lei said.

The two then talked about the times Shi Lei had served as the best man, and Bai Qingquan became more excited as he chatted, and his sleepiness gradually faded.

The topic eventually turned to bridal chamber customs as the two talked about the old marriage customs in Xichuan County. Shi Lei talked about how he was a scoundrel back when he was young. When the eldest brother of their neighbor got married, he was in his teens at the time, so he and some other kids secretly went to eavesdrop on the bridal chamber.

“As a result, I didn’t hear anything.”

When this topic came up, the atmosphere had changed a bit. Although Shi Lei spoke in a joking tone, his original intention was probably just to share some of the absurdity of his childhood. This topic was easy to guide lovers toward a more viscous emotion. Shi Lei suddenly said, “When I fell asleep just now, I dreamed of you.”

Bai Qingquan followed his words and asked, “What did you dream of me?”

Shi Lei smiled but didn’t speak.

Bai Qingquan’s spirits were aroused. “Hm? What did you dream of?”

Shi Lei said, “Something not suitable for young children.”

Bai Qingquan laid down on the bed and smiled softly. Just a light sentence had rocked his emotions. He said, “It must’ve been on your mind every day, which is why you dream about it at night. What are you thinking about all day?”

“Nothing,” Shi Lei said. “I just want to marry you one day.”

He really thought about it that way. It was inevitable that it would be on his mind since he had just attended a wedding.

“Are you really a virgin?” Bai Qingquan said. “Tell the truth. I won’t get angry.”

Shi Lei seemed a little embarrassed. “What are you asking… Why are you even asking?”

“I heard that virgins have pure dreams, which are different from those with experience. At most, they’ll only dream of kissing.”

“How do you know that I dreamed of something other than kissing?”

Bai Qingquan smiled, clutching his pillow, as he heard Shi Lei make a “Hm?” sound.

This “Hm” sound was a normal sound that most people say but could sound a bit too greasy when some try to be too forceful, but when Shi Lei said it, it sounded very sexy. His voice and calm temperament were too suitable for this “hm”. It was low and strong and had a bit of force behind it.

Bai Qingquan’s heart pounded as he heard the rustling sound coming from the other end. “I’m just guessing.”

“Then you guess correctly,” Shi Lei whispered. “Sometimes I have dreams that are quite realistic. When I wake up, it takes a while to calm down. If I keep dreaming about it, I’ll have to change my pants.”

Bai Qingquan rolled around and gave a slight “Nn”. He was being deliberate, as his “Nn” sounded very sultry. Shi Lei was silent for a while before his voice suddenly became ambiguous as he asked in a low tone, “What are you doing?”

“Nothing.”

Shi Lei smiled.

“Acting a bit reckless again?” Shi Lei said suddenly.

With just this one sentence, which sounded strong and ruffian, brought Bai Qingquan into a whirlpool of desire.

It then became truly inappropriate for young children. Shi Lei’s voice was strong, and his words were vulgar. People around Bai Qingquan treated him like a fairy, so when he heard this kind of thing, especially from the mouth of the man that he liked, it would make him blush so much that even his ears would turn red. He quickly pulled up the blanket and covered his head as he talked to Shi Lei in the dark.

The darkness was a good thing, as it could cover up all the shame. When Shi Lei called him “baobei” lovingly, he almost completely lost control. This was the first time Shi Lei called him baobei.

He almost responded by calling him husband, and this had always been the greatest desire in his heart. Fortunately, he was able to hold back and keep it for later.

Shen Jintai glanced at Bai Qingquan’s red face. Bai Qingquan hadn’t said anything about crossing the line, but Shen Jintai could probably imagine the entire scenario, which was not suitable for children. He felt that it didn’t matter if Shi Lei was able to catch Bai Qingquan or not, because at the end of the day, he had already secured his heart.

Shen Jintai originally wanted to educate Bai Qingquan but found out that Bai Qingquan had already engaged in phone play. If he hadn’t done it earlier, as he was detained in bed for two days after he returned from filming, he felt that he could definitely try this kind of play in the future.

This time Zheng Siqi did not join them, so it was only Shen Jintai, Bai Qingquan, Shi Lei, Qian Wei, and Xiao Feng. At the end of the meal, Bai Qingquan, Qian Wei, and Xiao Feng left first, while Shen Jintai and Shi Lei stayed behind. Shen Jintai said, “Xiao Bai seems to love you very much.”

“I love him more,” Shi Lei said.

Shen Jintai could perceive Shi Lei’s love for Bai Qingquan.

Shi Lei and Yan Qiuchi were different. Although they were men of few words, Shi Lei was more outgoing in terms of showing his feelings. Once he and Bai Qingquan had established their relationship, he acted like a standard boyfriend should. He was intimate and considerate, as if it were a natural thing, and he wasn’t afraid to be seen by others. Even in front of people like him and Qian Wei, he didn’t restrain his feelings. Yan Qiuchi was relatively cold on the outside as he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, but he was quite different behind closed doors. After leaving those doors, he still maintained a very dignified appearance in front of his family and friends.

And this very dignified President Yan was waiting for him outside.

After Shi Lei got in the car and left, he asked, “Why did you come out with him?”

“For fear of being photographed secretly, Xiao Bai and the others left first.”

“Did you drink?” Yan Qiuchi leaned forward and smelled his mouth.

“Just a little,” Shen Jintai said.

As Yan Qiuchi was driving, he asked, “How is your investigation going?”

“I think I can end it. Xiao Bai has completely fallen in love with him,” Shen Jintai said. “He seems to be crazy about him. While I think it’s a bit manly, it’s also kind of bad.”

“As long as you, as a friend, have said everything you need to say, then you can only give your blessings. Whether he’s the right or wrong person, they still need to experience that for themselves.”

Shen Jintai said, “Occasionally, I still find it incredible. I originally thought that Xiao Bai liked types like you.”

“What am I like?”

“Handsome, cultured, gentlemanly,” Shen Jintai smiled.

Yan Qiuchi and Shi Lei were completely two types of men, and they were the best of those two types. The difference was pretty significant.

The end result was that Bai Qingquan fell in love with his crew-cut senior, who wasn’t that handsome and didn’t have much culture but was more ruffian. Fate was truly wonderful. Just like he had liked Bai Qingquan as a little 0 beauty at first, he finally fell in love with Yan Qiuchi, who was completely of a different type. What was more surprising was that Yan Qiuchi also fell in love with him.

“So, I’m a gentleman again,” Yan Qiuchi said. “Why did you keep calling me a hooligan yesterday?”

If he hadn’t brought it up, Shen Jintai would’ve forgotten it again. Yan Qiuchi was really… not a gentleman in private. He felt that Shi Lei, who seemed to have no inhibitions and was very good at acting like a gangster, might not have Yan Qiuchi’s taste in private.

Chapter 209: A Man in Love

In the summer of this year, the entertainment industry was as dull as water. There were no popular movies, and TV series were also like a pool of stagnant water. The only thing that made any splash was the lawsuit between Zheng Siqi and Monsoon Entertainment.

Because of Zheng Siqi’s large number of fans and because Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan had been supporting him, the combination of fresh powders, moonlight powders, and gold powders gained a lot of momentum, which caused Monsoon Entertainment’s reputation to plummet, uncovering many previous personal scandals about their president and negatively impacting them even more.

In the end, Monsoon Entertainment’s lawsuit didn’t pay off, they didn’t gain much money out of it, and they were left with a horrible reputation.

After the lawsuit was over, Zheng Siqi quickly set up his own studio and began to work alone. This motivated Bai Qingquan to think more about whether he wanted to terminate his contract and make his move to fly solo.

The conditions for terminating his contract were quite amicable. He was holding back because of his love for Sunshine Media and his lack of courage. With no backer behind him, he couldn’t feel at ease.

Recently, however, he felt much more down to earth, at least emotionally, when he was at home.

Taking advantage of his resting period, he had a meal with Zhang Yuan from Sunshine Media’s brokerage department to talk about the future.

“I heard Qian Wei say that you’re in love, but it’s an outsider?” Zhang Yuan asked.

Bai Qingquan nodded.

Zhang Yuan said, “Although you have relatively few girlfriend fans now, you’ll still need to deal with the matter of falling in love cautiously. No matter if you are on your own in the future or are still cooperating with Sunshine Media, you can always come and ask for help.”

Bai Qingquan felt that Sunshine Media was really kind to him. He went back and thought for two days, finally choosing a compromise. He would set up his own team and attach it to Sunshine Media. The contract would change from an artist working under them to a cooperative relationship.

This was also Yan Qiuchi’s idea for Shen Jintai at the beginning. Not only would it give him more independence, but it’d also ensure that he wouldn’t be alone. In return, he would bring newcomers from Sunshine Media to the projects he was working on in the coming year.

Sunshine Media was now expanding, and the company had started to train new people. This fall, Sunshine Media would create a second season of <Pick Me>.

In the first season of <Pick Me>, the two top-tier artists, Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan, contributed heavily to the entertainment industry. Because the season was too fiery, the program wasn’t approved when it was held the next year, so it had to be put on hold. Now, a few years later, the second season of the blockbuster hit was revived, and with a surmountable investment to back it up, the topic had reached peak discussion online.

“According to the rules of general variety shows, the second season is always the most popular season. I’m optimistic about this season’s big explosion.”

“Am I the only one who’s not optimistic? The celebrity physique of Touhua and the beauty of Bai Yueguang are all unattainable things, right? There have been few talent shows in the past two years, and the results have all been mixed.”

“I’m still optimistic. Sunshine Media has resources. At least the selected little brothers won’t worry about filming. I also heard that Touhua and Bai Yueguang are expected to become mentors this season.”

“Touhua’s acting is good. Just forget about singing and dancing. It feels like he hasn’t been on stage in recent years, so he’s completely rusty. As for Bai Qingquan, his singing is okay, but he was able to make his debut in the first place mainly because of his face. Neither of these two are qualified as mentors.”

“There’s really a shortage of high-quality idols in China. Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai have now changed careers to actors. I hope that the program group can bring out a new idol with excellent singing and dancing. Upstairs actually said that Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai were not qualified. Oh my god, these two are considered the pinnacle representatives of talent shows. There is no one more successful than them in history, and it is estimated that there will be no one going forward either. One of them is from Sunshine Media, and the other is the boss of Sunshine Media. Isn’t it normal for them to give a platform for programs produced by Sunshine Media?”

“By the way, since the two of them took the Film Emperor, why have they become more low-key? Are they spending all their time filming with the crew? Shen Jintai, I can see, but what about Bai Qingquan? He hasn’t shown up for over a month, right?”

“Bai Qingquan will attend a certain brand’s celebration tomorrow afternoon. If you like him, you should pay attention.”

“Are the moonlight powders here? I found that recently there were a bunch of moonlight powders in all these posts about Bai Qingquan. I thought that after the alt account incident, most of his fans had abandoned him.”

“He already accumulated new ones. All the girlfriend fans left and were replaced by a bunch of rotten fans.”

“Not only does he have the praise of moonlight powders, but I think fresh powders and gold powders also love him very much. Bai Qingquan is now like the group’s pet.”

The <Pick Me> program team sent invitations to both Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan, but they both declined.

“Yan Qiuchi told me,” Shen Jintai said to Li Meilan. “He said business is business, so I don’t need to give him face. With my current singing and dancing ability, isn’t it a bit of a joke for me to be a mentor?”

Li Meilan said, “Though you say it, outsiders don’t believe it. You danced so well during <Pick Me> but have you lost all your ability in the last two years? Many gold powders are still looking forward to you being on stage again and becoming an all-round artist.”

“I specialize in the art industry, so I just need to act well,” Shen Jintai said. “But why did Qingquan refuse?”

Both of them debuted on this show, and the chance of this show exploding is also very high. For both of them, participating in this show would actually be very helpful. The topicality was hot. It was only because Shen Jintai felt too incompetent in his abilities; otherwise, he would have participated.

Bai Qingquan was different, though. He could sing and dance well.

“I heard that Bai Qingquan has recently pushed a lot of invitations and intends to reduce the amount of his exposure,” Li Meilan said. “He’s paving the way for his relationship. He probably doesn’t want to be exposed yet.”

Well, there was that, and now he was also into decorating. He was a big star that personally participated in the decoration of his own house. When Shen Jintai met with him this time, he would be sure to beat him good. However, as a result, as soon as Shen Jintai returned to Nancheng, he was detained by Yan Qiuchi in bed for two days.

While rubbing his belly, he called Bai Qingquan. “It’s me. I’m back from Qingqing. Are you free tonight? Let’s get together.”

Bai Qingquan apologized and said, “Tonight? That may not work. I have already made an appointment with Shi Lei.”

Shen Jintai felt that what he was most worried about had happened. This little coquettish chicken was really the kind of person who would forget his friend when he was overridden with lust.

“Then call him too. It just so happens that I want to see him too,” Shen Jintai said.

Bai Qingquan replied, “Then… okay.”

“Don’t put it off!” Shen Jintai said angrily.

Bai Qingquan smiled. “Okay.”

After meeting, Shen Jintai discovered that in just one month, Bai Qingquan and Shi Lei’s relationship had improved by leaps and bounds.

The last time they met, Bai Qingquan was still sitting shyly on their side, but now he was sitting next to Shi Lei as naturally as can be. When they talked about the house that they had been decorating together, Bai Qingquan’s eyes were even more shining.

He was a little princess who was hopelessly in love.

However, it was gratifying to see that Shi Lei’s care for Bai Qingquan was very obvious and much more considerate now. It could be seen that they were both truly in love.

Shen Jintai suspected that Bai Qingquan had been eaten. Otherwise, why did Bai Qingquan have such a face like spring and enticing eyes?

Relying on his own intuition, he felt that the two of them must have done more than just kiss.

“How far did you go?” Shen Jintai asked secretly. “You’re not keeping secrets from me, are you?!”

Bai Qingquan looked innocent and coquettish. “I didn’t sleep with him.”

Bai Qingquan used to be outspoken and would dare to say anything, as if he didn’t know what shame was. After he fell in love and experienced it, he suddenly became like a pure maiden. He would blush when he talked about this topic and act so shy that he couldn’t bear to talk about it.

It had been over a month since he was with Shi Lei, and for the first time in many years, he had no one to talk to, and he was suffocating to death.

“Last night… I called him… The two of us now call each other every night before going to bed, and we’ll talk until I fall asleep, and then he hangs up…”

Bai Qingquan’s pure appearance was so flushed with shyness and coquettishness that it made Shen Jintai hold his breath as he listened.

“Then what?” Shen Jintai couldn’t help but gossip.

“Then the two of us chatted about normal stuff. Just… I don’t know how to talk to him about that kind of stuff…”

He couldn’t think about it. When he did, Bai Qingquan’s heart would heat up again. Shi Lei’s low and husky voice came into his mind again.

Shen Jintai’s eyes widened.

Are they doing phone play*?

*Phone sex.

These two people are truly not shameful at all! Even he and Yan Qiuchi had never… Well, now that he thought about it, they haven’t actually tried it.

Bai Qingquan pursed his lips to look at him with a face full of sweetness. It turned out that this was how Bai Qingquan looked when he was in love.

Chapter 208: Love is Beautiful

Bai Qingquan was a good-looking person. Even dressed as a builder, he remained good-looking. He was thin and tall, and when he wore those loose working clothes, it gave them a sense of fashion. He took two steps then suddenly pulled on his shirt and said to Shi Lei, “It’s really uncomfortable.”

“Where?”

The uniforms for the decorators in Shi Lei’s company were designed to be dirt- and tear-resistant, so the fabric was indeed rougher.

Bai Qingquan unbuttoned the two buttons and said, “It grinds on your chest.”

Shi Lei was taken aback for a moment, then blushed slightly. His eyebrows creased a bit together as he said, “Then you should put on a t-shirt.”

“My t-shirt is still in the car,” Bai Qingquan said.

He took the car keys from Shi Lei’s hand and went back to the car to get his t-shirt but did not change inside the car. Instead, he put it over his shoulder and got out. Shi Lei said, “No one wears this kind of uniform without anything underneath. Your skin is too tender.”

Bai Qingquan smiled and said, “I think it’s just because it’s new clothes. They tend to be harder.”

He touched Shi Lei’s jacket. “Why don’t we change?”

Shi Lei said, “They’re all the same materials. Just put on a t-shirt.”

Bai Qingquan said nothing but took off his jacket as soon as he entered the house. Shi Lei didn’t look at him and went straight to move the ladder. Bai Qingquan deliberately lingered for a while when he was changing his clothes, but Shi Lei had avoided looking at him and already started working, thus leaving Bai Qingquan to put on his t-shirt honestly.

With the wallpaper finally plastered, the next step was to install the lighting. The house Bai Qingquan lived in was a high-rise with transparent north and south windows. Now that the windows could be opened, the environment became much cooler than when using the fan. Shi Lei stood on the ladder and started installing the chandelier while Bai Qingquan helped him by delivering things to him.

Unknowingly, it became noon. Shi Lei went to wash his hands and planned to have lunch. After he finished washing his hands, he came out and saw Bai Qingquan leaning against the door, looking at him with a smile and a face that was slightly flushed.

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing,” Bai Qingquan said.

“Let’s go,” as Shi Lei said it, he took out his wallet from his jacket and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

When the two of them went out to eat, Bai Qingquan deliberately messed up his hair and wore the builder’s uniform as he walked swaggeringly down the street. After walking for a while, he put on his mask because he noticed that many passersby were staring at him.

He could still be recognized even when he was dressed like this?

Those passersby were suspicious of him. They were taken aback when they saw him, and the more they looked at him, the more he felt that they would call out his name at any moment.

This did not surprise Shi Lei at all. Bai Qingquan was good-looking and a famous actor in the entertainment industry known for his beauty. He was also tall and fair, so no matter how rough the clothes he wore were, he couldn’t hide his beauty. On the contrary, the contrast only made him look more delicate and tender.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Bai Qingquan felt more relaxed. Since he had been here many times, he had gotten along well with the owner, and the owner had determined that he wasn’t Bai Qingquan.

As a big star, it was simply outrageous to think that Bai Qingquan would stop by her shop every day to have a meal. The handsome guy she saw every day most likely worked for a building or decoration company.

“Young man, you’re so handsome. Why don’t you try and become a star?” The owner said while she prepared vegetables. “I don’t think many celebrities look as good as you. Do you have a partner? I have a niece who’s about your age. If you’re single, maybe I can introduce you to each other?”

Being a builder, the occupation didn’t pay well, but the young man was really energetic, so it wouldn’t be a loss to match him up with her niece.

“My brother already has someone, and they’re going to get married,” Shi Lei said.

“Getting married at such a young age?” The boss asked.

“My brother is still a bachelor,” Bai Qingquan said with a smile. “Why don’t you introduce your niece to him?”

The boss looked at Shi Lei and said, “That’s good too.”

The older brother also looked pretty good.

“Don’t listen to him. He’s just joking. I already have a wife,” Shi Lei said lightly before unscrewing the cap from the mineral water on the table as he stared at Bai Qingquan while drinking it.

When the two left the restaurant, the weather had changed and the wind became stronger. Bai Qingquan put on his mask and said, “You have a wife? Who’s your wife?”

Shi Lei said, “You’re acting naughty again.”

Bai Qingquan was taken aback for a moment. Shi Lei had been talking cautiously around him recently, so when he said something like this, it made his face blush. He felt that Shi Lei was particularly suitable for saying this kind of thing because the person was so manly and sexy.

He stopped talking, and after a while, he suddenly gathered his courage again and said, “Who’s being naughty?”

Shi Lei wasn’t originally a patient person. Today, Bai Qingquan teased him to the point where he couldn’t stand it. Bai Qingquan was sweating when he was eating the hot ramen, so he had his arms opened. Shi Lei didn’t know whether it was intentional or not, but he rolled up his shirt and exposed part of his waist. It was thin and fair. Shi Lei walked behind Bai Qingquan all the way back to the community. When they came out of the elevator, he stretched out his hand and put his arms around Bai Qingquan’s waist, pulling him into his embrace.

He was still the same domineering and strong man as he wrapped his big hand around Bai Qingquan’s waist while looking at him with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Bai Qingquan had flirted with him for so long but got no reaction from him, yet at the most unexpected moment, he was suddenly hugged.

“Open the door,” Shi Lei said. His voice was ruffian-like and a bit wild.

As soon as Bai Qingquan fell into his embrace, he felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted.

What will happen when they enter the room?

He lowered his eyes slightly and opened the door. Shi Lei kept hugging him without letting him go as they entered the door together. Then he directly pressed him against the wall.

Bai Qingquan became cowardly at the most critical moment. Shi Lei stretched out his hand and tore off his mask, then reached out to touch his lips.

This was the fatal blow. Wuwuwu.

“I’m very lustful. You might get scared,” Shi Lei whispered.

Bai Qingquan’s heart was hot. His hands were against the wall, and he wanted to provoke him like a coquettish bitch, but he wasn’t confident enough. When he spoke, his breath was muddled as he asked, “How lustful are you?”

“Do you want to see?”

Bai Qingquan said, “I just want to see the real you.”

Shi Lei grabbed one of his hands, put it on his chest, and then slowly slid it down across his shirt, allowing Bai Qingquan to touch every inch of his solid abdominal muscles.

Bai Qingquan barked like a groundhog in his heart.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Shi Lei suddenly smiled and said, “Little pervert.”

Bai Qingquan’s face flushed. Although he was ashamed to admit it, he was indeed a pervert.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in from the opened window, scattering all the paper that was on the ground everywhere. Shi Lei lowered his head and kissed Bai Qingquan tenderly. This was what love should be like.

Bai Qingquan especially liked to talk, but his mind was completely blank as he couldn’t think of anything as, inside, he was dying of happiness.

“When this house is fully finished, the first night I sleep here, it will be the house that I have decorated for you,” Shi Lei said.

While his words seemed vague, the implication was clearly stated. Bai Qingquan couldn’t help but wrap his arms around Shi Lei’s neck. He had fallen in love with this man again and was beyond redemption.

Shi Lei hugged him, smiled, and said, “So before that, you’d better not tease me. If you want to see the real me, I’ll strip everything off when that time comes.”

When he finished, he kissed Bai Qingquan on the cheek.

Bai Qingquan felt that Shi Lei’s figure was just perfect for hugging, with wide and thick shoulders and a strong waist. Holding him made his heart fill with a sense of safety and ease. He used to fantasize about how beautiful love could be every day, but now that he found what real love was, it was far more beautiful than what he imagined.

He really wanted to share this with Shen Jintai, but he was embarrassed to tell him for fear of revealing his inner depravity too much. Such a happy moment, yet he couldn’t share it with anyone, which really made him feel suffocated.

Chapter 207: Stop Flirting

Bai Qingquan said, “My friends say that we are progressing too fast. It doesn’t seem to be love.”

Shi Lei said, “But you’re eager as well.”

Bai Qingquan said, “Which is why you need to have restraint.”

“Don’t put the responsibility on me. I’m not a person with strong self-control,” Shi Lei said.

“Then how have you spent all these years?”

Shi Lei laughed. “It’s different. You’re different from others.”

Bai Qingquan got up with a smile and ran to the bathroom to wash the towels.

Shi Lei sighed, looked at his lower body, and then continued to scrape the wall. He scraped fiercely as his teeth clenched tightly while his fingers began to work hard, as if it wasn’t the wall he was scraping but Bai Qingquan.

After a busy morning and considering that the air in the room was too hot, they decided to go out to eat instead of ordering takeout. Despite wearing a mask, Bai Qingquan would often be recognized before, but when he was walking with Shi Lei, no one seemed to associate him as a big star.

With the way Shi Lei was dressed and his appearance, he looked more like a builder. Bai Qingquan noticed that Shi Lei was relatively handsome among passersby, and his figure was good as he saw several people secretly looking at him. It was also possible that they were staring at him… Since it was such a hot day, he still had a mask on.

Bai Qingquan wanted to go to a small restaurant to eat. He was excited today, and he wanted to experience the lives of ordinary people to the very end.

“Are you sure?” Shi Lei said, “I’m afraid someone will recognize you.”

“Let’s try,” Bai Qingquan said. The two entered a ramen restaurant.

It was lunchtime, and there were a lot of people in the shop. The two of them found a table for two closest to the inside by the counter. Bai Qingquan sat on the inner side facing inward, while Shi Lei sat facing outward as they ordered three bowls of Lanzhou ramen.

Two of those bowls were for Shi Lei, as he had a big appetite. He was really able to eat.

When the ramen came, Bai Qingquan took off his mask and found that no one was looking at him. Most likely, no one would expect a big star like him to appear in such an inconspicuous restaurant like this.

Bai Qingquan became excited, as he hadn’t eaten like this for a long time. He took out his phone and took a selfie that also captured the ramen restaurant and Shi Lei in the mirror, and then sent the photo to Shen Jintai.

At this time, Shen Jintai was also having lunch. He clicked on the picture and glanced at it. He found that Shi Lei was very photogenic. When he was wearing a very simple outfit, he was more handsome than when he dressed formally. Bai Qingquan was smiling brightly in the photo. Even though he was very close to the camera, his face looked a bit off, but his beauty could still be seen, while Shi Lei sat upright on the other side, looking at the camera very happily.

Shen Jintai sent a: [?]

Bai Qingquan replied: [Just showing you where we’re eating!]

Shen Jintai had already seen that it was a small restaurant, and there were many other guests sitting around. The owner was sitting outside near the door between the back kitchen and the front hall, peeling green onions. Everything looked down to earth.

Shen Jintai felt that Bai Qingquan was really captivated by Shi Lei and had completely fallen. The fairy was now mortal, as he had found an ordinary man. When he looked at Bai Qingquan’s eyes, he saw how bright they were and thought how happy Bai Qingquan was being with Shi Lei. He had never seen him smile so sweetly and casually.

Shen Jintai could only hope that Shi Lei was a good man and wouldn’t disappoint him.

Li Meilan, who was nearby and saw Shi Lei’s photo, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow.”

“Wow what?” Shen Jintai said.

“Who is this man? So handsome.”

“Handsome?” Shen Jintai asked.

“Is he amateur? Among them, this kind of look could be very handsome, as there aren’t really many men who are suitable to wear a crew cut. If you give him a nice look and apply makeup, it’ll definitely not be a problem for him to enter the entertainment industry, since they lack this kind of hormonal masculinity.”

There were some things that she found inconvenient to say. As a married person, she was better able to understand this type of man. He’s very suitable for being a husband, as he can make you feel particularly safe. He’s handsome and moderate, with a very homely feeling to him.

Bai Qingquan was sweating profusely. His hair looked even darker from the dampness, and his mouth was red, and his skin was flushed. Shi Lei secretly looked at him and suddenly saw the boss leaning over and staring at Bai Qingquan.

He was taken aback when he heard the boss ask, “Are you… the actor that plays Emperor Zhou Jing?”

Bai Qingquan once again felt the landmark significance of <The East Place is Coming>. He smiled and looked at the owner generously. “Many people say that I look like him.”

The owner seemed to actually believe him as she said, “So it seems. I was just thinking what kind of big star would come to a small shop like this to eat.”

When the two came out of the restaurant, Bai Qingquan laughed while Shi Lei said, “Put on the masks.”

Since it was hot, with the sun blazing outside, there weren’t many pedestrians on the street. Bai Qingquan looked around and stroked back his hair as he said, “I don’t know who Bai Qingquan is. My name is Bai Shu.”

Bai Qingquan was cautious at first when he went to a small restaurant to eat, but after eating, he completely let go. He had never felt so relaxed in so many years. He felt that Shi Lei’s existence had become his umbrella. He only needed to cover himself up a bit, and no one would recognize him.

“You should find me some builder’s clothes to wear,” he said to Shi Lei.

The next time Shi Lei came, he really brought one. Bai Qingquan had to change into it in the car as Shi Lei drove in front. Shi Lei looked into the rearview mirror and saw Bai Qingquan taking off his shirt, revealing his fair chest. Suddenly, he felt a burst of fire.

Shi Lei wanted to fully possess Bai Qingquan, but he was holding himself back out of love. He was a smart man. He came here and started from scratch and had seen the world. When Bai Qingquan contacted him, he knew what kind of person Bai Qingquan was.

Bai Qingquan was quite special. Sometimes he was sulky, and he was often coquettish but on the conservative side. He had been immersed in the entertainment industry for so many years and was still very simple.

For such a simple person, he wasn’t willing to take him too quickly, hoping to give Bai Qingquan the full experience of falling in love… There was also a more important reason as well. Deep inside, he was quite lustful. Just the thought of Bai Qingquan would turn his thoughts into perversion. He didn’t want to scare Bai Qingquan and hoped that he’d slowly get used to him, which would take time.

Bai Qingquan’s friends were not easy to provoke. They were all very wary of him. If he wanted to win the affirmation of these friends, he also must restrain himself. Bai Qingquan trusted his friends very much, so when he got together with Bai Qingquan in the future, he would inevitably have to deal with them.

His own conditions couldn’t be compared to them. If he was rejected and ostracized by them, it would cause a dilemma for Bai Qingquan, who would be caught in the middle. Thus, he must endure the waves made by his white moonlight. 

Bai Qingquan took off his t-shirt in the back seat. He wasn’t wearing anything underneath. He put on his overalls, took off his pants, stretched out his two long, fair legs, and put them on. When he lifted his pants, he said, “It seems to fit me just right.”

“I bought it according to your size,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan stroked his hair, took another selfie, and sent it to Shen Jintai.

“You and Shen Jintai are pretty close. You seem to tell him everything.”

Bai Qingquan said, “He’s my good sister… good brother.”

After speaking, he raised his head and smiled.

Shi Lei laughed. Some people resented men saying words like “sister”, while others didn’t care. Take him for example, who found it quite cute. He asked, “Is your sister not very fond of me?”

“No, he just cares about me.” Bai Qingquan laid down on his seat and said, “He’s afraid that you’ll try to bed me.”

Shi Lei usually didn’t talk to Bai Qingquan about these topics, so he didn’t reply. Bai Qingquan felt that Shi Lei had been very restrained these past few days, though he didn’t feel like he was purposefully doing it because he told him to.

Well… there was no need to be so restrained. Going to bed with each other could be delayed for a while, but it was still okay to kiss and touch. This wasn’t Shi Lei’s desire, but his own.

The last time Shi Lei kissed him was the day when the two of them confirmed their relationship. It had been a few days since that incident. Apart from working on the new house and talking together, Shi Lei didn’t do anything else. He would always send him back at night before he even got tired.

But he wanted to be tired, and he especially liked to see Shi Lei blushing, confused by his love for him. He felt Shi Lei’s strong desire for him, and this desire also stimulated him. He was also a person with heavy desire, and he felt that sex was just as important as love. Moreover, given Shi Lei’s appearance and physique, it would be such a waste if they didn’t have any intimacy.

Which led him to today. He was pulling tricks at every turn for the past few days, like how he deliberately changed his clothes in the car just now to pique Shi Lei’s interest, but it seemed Shi Lei was unmoved.

Ah, he wanted to kiss. The feeling of kissing was so beautiful that he wanted to relive it. A normal love should be gradual, taken step by step, to finally reach the harmony of life.

Chapter 206: Build a Home Together

When they arrived at the airport, as soon as Yan Qiuchi left, Shen Jintai immediately called Bai Qingquan.

“What took you so long?” Bai Qingquan said.

“I was entangled with Yan Qiuchi tightly,” Shen Jintai said. “I have to board the plane soon, so let’s hurry up and get down to business. Have you and Shi Lei confirmed the relationship?”

Bai Qingquan: “Nn.”

Shen Jintai said, “Then I won’t say anything else. It’s just the same feeling. Kiss on the mouth and touch with your hands. If you’re serious, you must hold back!”

Bai Qingquan: “Nn. The harder it is to get, the more cherished you are. I understand!”

“Then you should know,” Shen Jintai said. “You have to seize the initiative!”

Bai Qingquan said faintly, “But… I like being passive…”

Shen Jintai: “…I’m not talking about positions!”

Bai Qingquan laughed. He was in a good mood today because he had received a text message from Shi Lei in the early morning saying good morning to him. The feeling of being loved was so wonderful.

“Let me tell you. In terms of appearance, financial resources, and fame, you completely overshadow him, yet you didn’t take the initiative at all. He kissed you when he said he’d kiss you, and you fell in love afterwards. Look at me. Do you know why my life is so great now?”

Without waiting for Bai Qingquan to answer, he said, “It’s because I firmly grasped the initiative in the early stages of my relationship!”

After these words came out, Shen Jintai felt a little guilty.

Bai Qingquan really showed a very envious tone. “Then what should I do?”

“He’s casually using means to tease you now. You’re about to collide with the deer and have no power to parry. What he said is what you follow, no?”

Bai Qingquan immediately nodded like pounded garlic. “How do you know?!”

That was just how he was. The chaos in his spring heart was caused by Shi Lei, and he didn’t have the ability to resist at all.

Shen Jintai said solemnly, “If you don’t take the initiative at the beginning, you will suffer more in the future. How the relationship between two people starts lays the foundation for your future family status. You have to let him lick you. You can’t lick him… I’m not talking about that kind of lick. I’m referring to attitude. Attitude!”

Bai Qingquan said, “So now, is President Yan licking you?”

Shen Jintai: “…That’s right.” At least in bed.

Yan Qiuchi had teased him, and the fact is he had no power to parry it. When he fell in love with Yan Qiuchi, Yan Qiuchi had also made rapid movements that steadily made him retreat, even though he felt like he did have the initiative in the relationship.

However, he was bent on being strong, but Bai Qingquan was different from him. Bai Qingquan wanted to be a little princess who only wanted to eat and not suffer. The reason he was leading Bai Qingquan this way was mainly because he felt that Bai Qingquan was too naïve and sweet in this relationship.

It was progressing too fast, so he was really worried about him. To see Shi Lei’s true character would take a long time. But before they even get a chance to investigate properly, Bai Qingquan would already have been abducted to bed.

According to his intuition, combined with his understanding of Bai Qingquan’s character, once they got in bed together, he’d become even more determined. It was unfortunate that he had to film at this time. Otherwise, he would keep an eye out for Bai Qingquan.

“You guys are really moving too fast. Although it has been a few months since you met again, you have only been together for a few days. When I look at him, he looks a bit like a hooligan, but I didn’t expect him to turn out to be a hooligan!” When Shen Jintai thought that Bai Qingquan would be “ruined” by Shi Lei, he felt heartbroken like an old father marrying off his daughter, which made his impression of Shi Lei even worse than before.

His Yan Qiuchi was suffocating in the beginning, but he was very restrained. However, once he takes off his pajamas for him, that gentleman becomes a wolf!

He and Bai Qingquan had different personalities and liked completely different types. He had a more resolute personality and could be strong whether he was a gong or a shou. Yan Qiuchi is a serious man, so he’d become anxious and would sometimes beg for it.

However, Bai Qingquan had a girly heart. A pure 0. He liked being weak and submissive, so he preferred the strong and domineering type that was imposing.

Bai Qingquan had a dream last night. In it, he was forcibly kissed again. Since he was a little chick with no experience, nothing else was dreamt besides kissing, but when he woke up, he had to quickly run to the bathroom and take a shower, as well as wash his sheets.

When Xiao Feng came over to deliver breakfast to him, Bai Qingquan asked, “How’s Wei Ge?”

“Still sleeping.”

Qian Wei was nearly forty, but he had always been single. Yesterday, Xiao Feng was worried about him, so he took him to his own place to watch over him.

After breakfast, Bai Qingquan and Xiao Feng went to see Qian Wei together. Qian Wei had already gotten up by this point. Bai Qingquan asked him his thoughts on Shi Lei.

Qian Wei said, “He’s okay.”

Before he met Shi Lei, his hostility towards him was strong, so it was hard for him to give an “okay” evaluation. He had deep feelings for Bai Qingquan and always felt that there were few men in the world who were truly worthy of him, so he said, “Are you sure you want to be with him? Honestly, with your condition, there are so many better ones out there.”

“I thought about it for a long time last night,” Bai Qingquan said. “I think maybe it’s really due to fate. Otherwise, how could I have met him again?”

He told Qian Wei everything about him and Shi Lei before. Their pure love in their adolescence was easy to move people. After listening to it, Qian Wei said, “If Shi Lei really liked you for so many years, then it’s really not easy.”

The world changed, and people were often impetuous that it’d be hard to meet someone who was like the past them again.

Shi Lei was indeed anxious and scheming, but he was also infatuated. Bai Qingquan thought long and hard last night and felt that fate was a wonderful thing. If he met another person and got together with him, he didn’t know what would happen to Shi Lei.

He really liked Shi Lei. When he thought of such a scenario, he couldn’t help but sympathize and feel sorry for him, but he then thought Shi Lei would be able to move on and eventually find another person to be together with.

Thinking of that, he felt selfish and jealous. This man had loved him since he was a teenager and should love him wholeheartedly for the rest of his life.

—

Shi Lei was only in his twenties. For a man like him, he was quite romantic. He told Bai Qingquan that the decoration of the house only had one last part left and the workload wasn’t large. Since it wasn’t too hard, he asked if Bai Qingquan would want to complete the final decoration with him.

He told Bai Qingquan that he’s able to do everything except decorate. Whether it was masonry or electrical, he was good at it and could handle it all.

This proposal was really romantic and smart. For Bai Qingquan, who was a big star that stayed with the crew all year round and didn’t need to worry about his clothes, food, housing, or transportation, such an activity was quite novel, and it piqued his interest, like a child going out for a picnic.

His heart was full of romance.

It also just so happens that he had recently taken a break and didn’t have any work lined up. Bai Qingquan, who hasn’t experienced real life in a long time, had put on a hat and mask and was wearing a casual t-shirt and jeans as he carried a roll of wallpaper and went into his new house with Shi Lei.

As soon as he entered the door, he took off his hat and mask. “I’ll help you.”

Shi Lei was dressed in a loose shirt and black overalls. This was the first time he had worn something so casual in front of Bai Qingquan. His tan arms were fully exposed, revealing strong muscles. Coupled with his crew cut and exceptionally resolute face, his whole image was like a wolf.

Young and strong, and as hot as the summer.

Bai Qingquan was born in poverty, so he was quite grounded. Later, when he debuted and soared to stardom, he lived the life of a young master. Now, because of Shi Lei, he had become grounded again. He found that he actually liked this ordinary life very much. It was practical and fulfilling.

The finishing touches that needed to be done after the end of the renovation mainly included pasting on wallpaper, installing the lights, and things of that nature. Bai Qingquan found that even pasting on wallpaper wasn’t as simple as he thought.

He originally thought that he would be done once it stuck to the wall. Who knew that he had to scrape it first with a scraper? It was hot because the air conditioning hadn’t been installed yet, and after a while, he was covered in sweat. He raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his face and saw Shi Lei smiling at him. He told him, “You can take a break and use the little fan to blow some air on you.”

Bai Qingquan had bought a lot of small electric fans when he was on the crew and brought two with him. He turned them on and had them blow at him, then raised it to Shi Lei. Shi Lei’s fingers were holding the scraper, and due to the force, the veins on the back of his hand popped a bit. Even the muscles on his upper arms were tightened, and his fingers were stained with paint and color. His nails were neatly trimmed, like a crescent moon.

Bai Qingquan held the fan up and blew it on Shi Lei’s face. He saw beads of sweat hanging from his chin. Bai Qingquan’s face flushed as he pursed his lips, feeling that the beads could drip into his heart. It seemed like he was waiting for them to, as he became nervous with each drop that kept dripping down.

“Don’t blow it on me. I’m drenched anyway,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan took another look and saw his back. Shi Lei’s shirt was hanging half loose against his back, showing off a vigorous and tall figure.

Ahhhhhhhhh, what was he thinking?

He felt very hot, so he excused himself to the bathroom. He turned on the water and started to wash his face, stroking his hair back vigorously.

“Can you get me a towel so I can wipe my face,” Shi Lei shouted. “I can’t open my eyes anymore.”

Bai Qingquan hurriedly took a towel and went over. When Shi Lei turned his head, Bai Qingquan wiped the sweat off for him and said, “No wonder few people decorate in the summer. It’s too hot.”

“The main thing is that you have good lighting from the sun while working, but you can’t ventilate when the wallpaper is pasted on, otherwise there’ll be hollowing.”

Bai Qingquan wiped his arm again.

Shi Lei smiled and turned his head and said, “If you don’t wipe my back, the sweat will drench my underwear.”

Bai Qingquan was taken aback for a moment, unsure if Shi Lei was seriously asking or teasing him. He pursed his lips as he rolled up Shi Lei’s shirt, revealing a sturdy waist. He pursed his lips again and lifted up the shirt with one hand as he used the other to wipe his chest and stomach.

Shi Lei’s body seemed to tighten suddenly, and his abdominal muscles and back muscles suddenly became particularly obvious, as if he had accumulated a lot of energy. Bai Qingquan caught sight of the happy trail on Shi Lei’s stomach.

In this room, which had not yet been completed, with many tools scattered about, there were only the two of them. After closing the door, he was completely isolated from the outside world. He wasn’t a big star anymore.

Bai Qingquan’s face flushed, and he put his head on Shi Lei’s shoulder. He was dazed by the hot weather, and he thought that he could not do what Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi had told him.

While he may look pure and clean, in fact, on the inside he was very dirty.

Chapter 205: Sweetness

Shi Lei felt like he was dreaming. After drinking so much alcohol, his mind was a bit unclear, so much so that ecstasy broke out suddenly after they left the restaurant. He turned his head and glanced at Bai Qingquan beside him, trying to hold his hand.

Bai Qingquan shrank his hand back and put it in his pocket. Shi Lei took advantage of the situation and reached into his pocket, grabbed his hand, and said, “Didn’t you agree to be my boyfriend?”

Bai Qingquan glanced around, slightly nervous.

“You’re wearing a mask,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan didn’t speak. Shi Lei kept putting his hand in his pocket, holding his hand, and kept looking at him with a smile.

“It’s like a dream,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan still remained silent.

“Why don’t you talk?”

Bai Qingquan whispered, “What are you talking about…”

His mind was still confused. Why did he fall so easily? He and Shi Lei had only met a few times. He didn’t fall in love for all these years because he had always been cautious about falling in love. The result now was that he surrendered so quickly when he encountered Shi Lei, who didn’t play cards according to common sense. He felt that all his criteria for getting to know each other for at least half a year had been abandoned. If Shi Lei had been more forceful, he probably would have given in halfway.

He liked strong men. He felt that he had released his inner nature all at once and felt a bit ashamed for it.

It was summer as they walked on the street late in the night. There were still many young people around. As the two held hands, they gradually became sweaty. Bai Qingquan’s heart suddenly began to show feelings of happiness bit by bit. He had suddenly felt the sweetness of love.

When they were young, he only liked Shi Lei very innocently. After meeting him again so many years later, the first thing that moved him was the sexual tension they had, followed by his pure feelings.

Adults and children were very different.

While Shi Lei wasn’t as tall as Yan Qiuchi, when he was looking at him alone, Bai Qingquan felt that he was taller than Yan Qiuchi. Though his appearance wasn’t as handsome, Bai Qingquan thought this was actually a plus, as he looked more masculine. His manly temperament far exceeded his physical appearance. He also thought Shi Lei was quite courageous… Not every man would dare to chase a star like this.

Shi Lei dropped him off at the entrance to the hotel. Only then did he let go of his hands. His palms were completely covered in sweat as the cool window blew on them.

“Go in,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan said, “Nn. Take a taxi back and tell me when you get home.”

Shi Lei nodded and asked, “Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s have dinner together.”

Bai Qingquan let out a “Nn”.

“Then I’m leaving,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan said “Nn” again.

He watched Shi Lei get into the taxi, then returned to the hotel and immediately called Shen Jintai as soon as he entered his room. He wanted to tell Shen Jintai as soon as possible. However, the call kept ringing, and Shen Jintai never picked up.

In Yan Qiuchi’s room in the Yan’s Manor, Shen Jintai’s pants were scattered on the floor, and the phone that was still in its pocket kept vibrating.

Suddenly, an arm reached out at the end of the bed. Shen Jintai stretched forward. “I… My phone’s ringing…”

Yan Qiuchi didn’t say a word but instead directly lifted the blanket and covered him from behind before laying down beside him and kissing his ears. Shen Jintai knew he couldn’t escape tonight.

He had been filming and was with the crew during this time, so he hadn’t seen Yan Qiuchi for over a week. To go a week, for a man like Yan Qiuchi, who wanted to hug him every night and day, it was extremely suffocating.

Bai Qingquan laid on the bed and called Zheng Siqi.

As soon as Zheng Siqi fell asleep, he was awakened to a call. He had a good temper and wasn’t angry that his rest was disturbed. He picked up and drowsily said, “Hey.”

Bai Qingquan said, “What should I do? Shi Lei just confessed to me, and I… I agreed.”

When Zheng Siqi heard this, he sat straight up from the bed. “Didn’t I tell you before I left?”

But he had no choice. Shi Lei’s attack was too strong. Bai Qingquan’s face flushed slightly. “I’m sorry I have failed your advice.”

Zheng Siqi didn’t know what to say, so he could only say, “If you really like him, just keep communicating with him, but you have to be careful not to get exposed. It’s best to do it slowly. Learn from Jintai and give your fans a buffer time.”

Bai Qingquan asked, “Nn. Have you resolved the cancellation of your contract?”

“The results will come out next month,” Zheng Siqi said. “There shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Go back to sleep. I won’t bother you anymore,” Bai Qingquan said.

“If you proceed, you have to rest assured,” Zheng Siqi finally said. “And also Wei Ge. He’s really doing it for your own good, so you need to discuss with him your future with Shi Lei.”

Bai Qingquan hung up the phone and went to shower. When he came back, he found he had missed a call and a text message. The message was sent by Shi Lei, indicating that he had returned home. The missed call was from Shen Jintai.

He called Shen Jintai back.

Shen Jintai’s voice sounded lazy and had a hint of sexy huskiness to it. He asked, “What’s the matter? Why’d you call me so late?”

“Were you sleeping?”

Shen Jintai said, “Nn.”

Bai Qingquan told him about his promise to date Shi Lei.

Shen Jintai’s reaction wasn’t much better than Zheng Siqi’s. He sat up for a moment before he let out a hiss as Yan Qiuchi hurriedly got up and pulled him down again. He laid naked on Yan Qiuchi’s stomach.

Bai Qingquan immediately asked, “What’s the matter?”

“What we had just talked about, you turned a deaf ear to.” He had a belly full of scolding but with Yan Qiuchi by his side now, he couldn’t say them. “It’s too late now. I’ll call you tomorrow!”

How he hated that iron was not made of steel*!

*Idiom referring to how one did not live up to one’s expectations. || In this context, he’s referring to how Bai Qingquan, despite their advice and warnings, failed to follow them.

Bai Qingquan knew that he had let them down and could only give a very docile “Un” in response.

Shen Jintai tossed his phone to the bedside and said to Yan Qiuchi, “It’s only been a few hours, yet Xiao Bai has already confirmed his relationship with Shi Lei!”

Yan Qiuchi said, “I think as long as he likes him, you shouldn’t interfere too much. No matter how good the relationship between friends is, you must pay attention to discretion. You and Zheng Siqi take care of him like you’re his mother. In case something goes wrong in the future, you should be careful not to get too involved.”

Shen Jintai actually thought what he said made sense, but he was worried that Bai Qingquan would be harmed.

As he lay on Yan Qiuchi’s stomach and looked at the ceiling, Yan Qiuchi’s hand was combing his somewhat damp hair. He then held the back of his head and said, “Get up. You should rinse off.”

“I don’t want to move,” Shen Jintai said lazily.

Yan Qiuchi said, “Then how about another round?”

Shen Jintai got up quickly when he heard this and looked down at the towel on the bed sheet. Yan Qiuchi got up with a smile and followed him to the bathroom.

After a while, Shen Jintai’s voice came from the bathroom. “You hungry wolf. What are you doing… I won’t come back for a month.”

“That’s fine. I’ll be sure to count the days and save it all up. As long as you’re not afraid, one month isn’t a problem.”

Shen Jintai: “…Yan Qiuchi!”

You’re in such good health, so you’ll be fine.”

“Just because I’m in good health doesn’t mean…”

After that, everything became a blur. Yan Qiuchi had coaxed, begged, and threatened, and they did it again.

Early the next morning, when Fang Fengmei saw Shen Jintai coming downstairs, she was surprised. “Oh, when did you return?!”

“Last night,” Shen Jintai said.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw Yan Qiuchi walking down the stairs in a hurry.

Fang Fengmei asked, “You’re leaving now? Don’t you want breakfast?”

“It’s too late, and I have to catch a plane,” Shen Jintai said.

“I’ll send him off,” Yan Qiuchi said.

Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi went out the door together. Yan Qiuchi looked behind him, then caught up with him and said, “I have made progress this time.”

“What?” Shen Jintai looked back, puzzled.

Yan Qiuchi said, “Mom didn’t even know you were back.”

Shen Jintai was stunned for a moment before his face turned red. “Ahhhhhhh. I forgot about it, and you had to bring it up!”

This was a particularly embarrassing thing to say. In fact, he couldn’t blame it all on Yan Qiuchi. Yan Qiuchi liked to hear him call him husband, but he felt ashamed saying it, so he reluctantly would refuse. The more he refused, the more Yan Qiuchi wanted to hear it, which only led to him being “forced” to die several times over… Needless to say, Shen Jintai had finally given in, and he shouted out the word too loudly, resulting in the consequence that Fang Fengmei would know whenever he came back.

His mind was blank at that time, so he wasn’t particularly aware of it. Occasionally he would only worry that his hoarse voice would give things away, until one day Fang Fengmei hinted to Yan Qiuchi and told him that the sound insulation in their home didn’t seem to be good.

Dying from embarrassment, Shen Jintai didn’t dare contact Fang Fengmei for several days.

Yan Qiuchi said, “It’s okay. The new house has been cleaned up. When you come back next time, let’s live there.”

Shen Jintai’s legs softened for no reason.

Chapter 204: Confirmed Relationship

Shen Jintai, Zheng Siqi, and Wei Ge were already in the private room of the bar that had piles of alcohol on the table. Shen Jintai wanted to drink, but Bai Qingquan stopped him: “Don’t drink now or you’ll be drunk before he even arrives.”

“I won’t drink too much. I have to return to the crew for filming tomorrow,” Shen Jintai said. “We also have Wei Ge here.”

Qian Wei was unhappy because he didn’t know about the affair regarding Shi Lei until today. He didn’t know what Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi knew about it, nor did he know as much as they did. He had been following Bai Qingquan for several years, so it could be said that he had been his most ardent supporter, yet Bai Qingquan had treated him like this. He should be the closest to Bai Qingquan!

And this Shi Lei. What the fuck? He didn’t even graduate from junior high, yet he was a little boss of a decoration company? Even if he grew up to look like Pan’an¹ and Song Yu², he’d still not be worthy of Bai Qingquan.

¹A literary leader in Western Jin and was referred to as the most beautiful man in ancient times.
²Chinese poet of the late Warring States Period.

He planned to outdrink Shi Lei tonight and embarrass him. This man was either here for fame or wealth. After all, in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing was quite common. Too often, he’d seen female celebrities get carried away by love and get cheated by some scumbag. With Shi Lei’s identity and background, it didn’t seem that he was any better than those types of scumbags.

“He’s here.” Bai Qingquan got up as he picked up his phone. “I’ll pick him up.”

“You sit down.” Qian Wei got up and said, “I’ll go.”

“I told him our private room number. You can pick him up in the hallway.”

Qian Wei went out. As soon as he left the door, he saw a waiter leading a tall man over. From a glance, his appearance was much lower than his expectations, about as good as your average passerby. The person looked energetic but had a ruffian look to him. With a band-aid on his chin, it only added to his look and made people worry more.

“Shi Lei?”

Shi Lei nodded.

“I’m Qian Wei.” He stretched out his hand.

Shi Lei shook his hand.

“They are all in there. Come in.”

As soon as he turned around, he saw that Bai Qingquan had opened the door and poked his head out to look.

When Shi Lei entered, he saw several familiar faces. Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi were now all big stars who were widely popular.

Shen Jintai took the lead and stretched out his hand. “Hello, we’re good friends of Qingquan. Do you still need an introduction?”

Shi Lei shook his hand and said, “I know you all.”

Zheng Siqi also shook his hand.

“Sit down. What do you want to drink? We have all kinds of alcohol,” Qian Wei said.

Shi Lei sat down on the sofa, and Bai Qingquan sat down beside him, acting a bit shy. He felt like he was leading his partner to meet his parents for the first time, so he was nervous, and it was estimated that Shi Lei was also nervous.

“Xiao Bai, do you want to drink?” Zheng Siqi said, “If you’re not drinking, move aside.”

Bai Qingquan smiled, then got up and sat opposite of them.

“Well, Jintai is filming, so it’s rare to have him back. We just made a last-minute appointment,” Bai Qingquan said with a smile. “Have you eaten yet? Would you like something to eat?”

“I’ve already eaten,” Shi Lei said.

Qian Wei pretended not to know anything and began his “interview”. How old was he? What was his occupation? Where was he from? How did he meet Bai Qingquan?

As they chatted, they started to drink. Qian Wei had followed Bai Qingquan into battle. There was a set of various unique alcohols on the table. Shi Lei started from scratch, so he wasn’t a vegetarian. By the time they had a few glasses, Qian Wei realized that he had encountered a tough opponent. However, Shi Lei behaved sincerely and didn’t drink any of the unique drinks.

These were all Bai Qingquan’s friends, so if he wanted to be with Bai Qingquan, these people had to be taken down.

Qian Wei had noticed this and pretended to be oblivious, wanting to pour him more.

When Shen Jintai was halfway done with his drink, he got up to go to the bathroom. Bai Qingquan followed him quietly, and as they closed the door, he asked, “What do you think?”

“It’s okay. He doesn’t look greasy,” Shen Jintai said.

“Isn’t he special?”

Shen Jintai smiled and said, “A bit rough.”

He felt that Shi Lei was indeed not bad, but compared with Bai Qingquan’s condition, he was still lacking.

“When he laughs, it makes him seem like a ruffian who gives out a bad vibe,” Shen Jintai said.

“He’s not bad himself.”

“Wait until Qian Wei gets him drunk before we start questioning him,” Shen Jintai said. “Don’t blame us for everything. We’re doing it for your own good.”

On this matter, it was rare that he agreed with Qian Wei and Zheng Siqi on this point of view. Everyone felt that Bai Qingquan was looking for his partner too suddenly, so it was very risky.

Shen Jintai said, “Are you going back? I’m going to pee.”

Bai Qingquan suddenly said, “I don’t know how big he is.”

Shen Jintai: “…”

He smiled and looked at Bai Qingquan. “It should be big enough.”

Bai Qingquan smiled, his face a little red. “He has thick, long fingers and a big nose. It shouldn’t be so simple, right?”

“Then, if he drinks too much later, you can follow him if he goes to the bathroom and take a peek.”

“That’s embarrassing.”

“You still know how to be embarrassed?” Shen Jintai said.

Bai Qingquan said, “What should I do? I feel like I’m falling for him more and more.”

When the two of them returned from the bathroom, they saw that Zheng Siqi was toasting with Shi Lei. When Zheng Siqi saw Shen Jintai, he said, “Your phone keeps ringing. It’s from President Yan.”

Shen Jintai quickly took the phone, went back to the bathroom, and called Yan Qiuchi.

“I heard you are back?” Yan Qiuchi asked, “Where are you?”

“Did you put a spy by my side?” Shen Jintai said, “Xiao Bai and I are at a bar.”

“Are you being disobedient again? Drinking again?”

“I’m not drinking this time. We’re here to test Xiao Bai’s person.”

He told Yan Qiuchi the ins and outs, and Yan Qiuchi said, “Your thoughts?”

“Alcohol will show one’s true character,” Shen Jintai said.

Yan Qiuchi said, “Send me the address and I’ll come pick you up.”

“You can come help us keep an eye on him,” Shen Jintai said.

After Yan Qiuchi hung up the phone, he continued to work. After finishing the work at hand, he told his assistant and then drove to pick up Shen Jintai.

When he arrived in the private room, he saw that Qian Wei was completely drunk, as he took Shi Lei’s hand and said, with tears in his eyes, “Brother, we are Xiao Bai… You can’t bully him… Otherwise, brother, I won’t spare you.”

Yan Qiuchi: “…”

Seeing him come in, Shen Jintai quickly stood up and waved his hand.

Bai Qingquan and Zheng Siqi were both watching Qian Wei’s behavior. When they saw Yan Qiuchi come in, they instantly got serious and got up to greet him.

Yan Qiuchi sat down beside Shen Jintai. When Shi Lei saw him, he was about to get up, but Qian Wei grabbed his hand and glanced at Yan Qiuchi with a smile on his face. “Yan… President Yan is here.”

“This is Jintai’s partner,” Bai Qingquan said.

Shi Lei shook Yan Qiuchi’s hand. Yan Qiuchi looked at Shi Lei and found that the other party’s face was only slightly red. He has heard that Qian Wei could drink very well, but to be able to outdrink even him shows that Shi Lei was quite capable of handling his liquor.

“President Yan…” Zheng Siqi was a little restrained. He was timid around Yan Qiuchi. “President Yan, do you want a drink?”

Without waiting for Yan Qiuchi to speak, Shen Jintai said, “He can’t drink. He’s driving.”

When Yan Qiuchi came, Qian Wei calmed down and sat there quietly until he fell asleep. Yan Qiuchi sat down and chatted with Shi Lei for a while when suddenly Qian Wei got up and ran to the bathroom to puke.

When he returned, everyone was ready to head back. Although Shi Lei didn’t drink too much, he still had questions to answer, and his attitude was very sincere, leaving a good impression on Zheng Siqi and Shen Jintai.

However, they still told Bai Qingquan to take his time and get to know him better.

“Don’t be fooled into bed by him with just a few words,” Shen Jintai said.

Bai Qingquan said, “How can I be tricked into going to bed so easily.”

Bai Qingquan was very confident in himself. He wasn’t a messy person. It would take at least a few months before they could determine their relationship. As for physical activities in bed, that would take at least half a year.

When he got into the car, Shen Jintai immediately asked Yan Qiuchi’s opinion on Shi Lei.

Yan Qiuchi said, “He’s seen through this little trick of yours a long time ago. He’s smart, but he was pretending to be stupid.”

From what he saw, he thought Shi Lei was okay. He would need more contact with him to get more details. From a selfish point of view, he hoped that Bai Qingquan would fall in love quickly. He felt the relationship between Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan was too close. They were said to be sisters, but they weren’t the kind of sisters who would lie in bed together and nothing would happen. Neither of them was that much of a shou, so he still had a sense of defense against them.

But seeing Shi Lei today, he was quite relieved. Bai Qingquan’s type turned out to be like this, which was quite different from Shen Jintai.

Qian Wei, who had threatened to outdrink Shi Lei beforehand, was completely plastered when he was put in the car. Bai Qingquan deliberately called Xiao Feng over to send him off. Qian Wei and Shi Lei seemed to have the same temperament. When he left, he lay in the car drunkenly and said, “Another day… Let’s go drinking again… buddy.”

His true temperament had flared up.

Shi Lei smiled and closed the car door, then turned to look back at Bai Qingquan and Zheng Siqi, standing together, whispering to each other. He didn’t interrupt but simply stood next to Bai Qingquan. As Zheng Siqi talked, he put his hand on Bai Qingquan’s shoulder and finally hugged him, making Shi Lei jealous.

It wasn’t entirely correct to say jealousy, as it was also mixed with low self-esteem. These were friends of Bai Qingquan. Yan Qiuchi, Shen Jintai, and Zheng Siqi were excellent. They were richer and more handsome than he was.

The only thing he was better at than these people was that he loved Bai Qingquan more than anyone else.

Seeing that Zheng Siqi was about to leave, Shi Lei stepped forward. After sending him off, the two were left by themselves.

Bai Qingquan smiled and said, “Are you okay?”

“A little dizzy,” Shi Lei said.

“You have drunk well enough. This is the first time I have seen Wei Ge drunk. How much can you drink?”

“I came on an empty stomach today, or I could still drink some more,” Shi Lei said.

“You haven’t eaten?”

Shi Lei smiled and said, “No, I came over as soon as I received your call.”

“Then I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Shi Lei nodded.

After only taking a few steps, he suddenly staggered. Bai Qingquan hurriedly supported him as he rested his head on Bai Qingquan’s shoulder.

Despite wearing a mask, Bai Qingquan still smelled the strong scent of alcohol on Shi Lei’s body. His lips were moist, and he rubbed them against his ears, causing Bai Qingquan to shrink his neck and take a step back.

When he entered earlier tonight and saw Bai Qingquan’s friends, Shi Lei was nervous but also very happy. Bai Qingquan had asked his friends to check him out, which indicated that he was making a move. His heart had been hanging all night, and now he was about to let it go.

Bai Qingquan held him and said softly, “Be careful.”

The alcohol had been jumping around in his lower abdomen. Considering that they were still out in public, Shi Lei got up and asked, “What do you want to eat?”

Bai Qingquan’s face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head to look at his phone. They decided to go to the restaurant where the two had gone yesterday.

Perhaps it was because he was drinking, but Shi Lei’s wheat-colored skin seemed a little bit flushed as he kept looking at him with a damp smile.

Bai Qingquan discovered that Shi Lei could not only drink but also eat well. He ate heavily, just as much as he drank.

“You’re not eating?”

Bai Qingquan said, “I don’t usually eat much at night in order to lose weight.”

“You’re so thin, but you still need to lose weight?” Shi Lei asked.

“I look fat on camera,” Bai Qingquan said as he ate his fruit salad.

“I think you are good-looking enough,” Shi Lei said.

“How long has it been since you ate?”

Shi Lei ate a bit too fiercely.

“I haven’t eaten for almost an entire day.”

Perhaps it was due to drinking a bit too much, but Shi Lei had let himself go. His rough and ruffian persona came out. After finishing his meal, he took out a cigarette and looked at Bai Qingquan.

“You can smoke,” Bai Qingquan said.

Shi Lei lit the cigarette, took a puff, then slowly exhaled the smoke, looking extremely ruffian. While he didn’t drink anymore, his complexion became redder than before he had entered the restaurant. His ears were red, and his forehead was sweaty. He stretched out his hand and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a small piece of his tanned chest.

“Have you thought about it?” Shi Lei asked him suddenly.

Bai Qingquan was taken aback for a moment and said, “What?”

“About the two of us,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan felt that he shouldn’t have invited Shi Lei to a meal after they had just been drinking. Shi Lei was obviously drunk. His eyes seemed a little red as he leaned his wrist against the table and flicked the cigarette in his hand. The soot shook off with sporadic sparks. He raised his nose, then pinched the remaining half of the cigarette as he took a deep breath and said, “I know I wasn’t worthy of you before, and now I’m even less worthy of you, but my heart is true to you. If there’s anyone in this world who loves you more than me, I’ll stand aside and leave you alone.”

Bai Qingquan wanted to laugh but held back.

“If you’ll be with me, I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life.”

Bai Qingquan had never encountered such a passionate confession. Not to mention that this confession came from a man who he had a good impression of. This only caused more turmoil in his longing heart. He just felt that things were moving too fast. His relationship with Shi Lei might not even last for 24 hours. Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi told him to take it slow when they left.

“I see,” he said.

Shi Lei reached out to grab his hand. Bai Qingquan wanted to draw his hand back, but Shi Lei grabbed it and looked at him with a wild look in his eyes.

“I said, let me think about it,” Bai Qingquan said. As soon as Shi Lei’s hand was loosened, he immediately took it back and then stood up.

After the meal was over, it was time for him to head back. He felt that Shi Lei’s intoxication might take over, and if he stayed any longer, he might be kissed again.

When he was about to put on his mask, he suddenly realized that he had just eaten and hadn’t wiped his lips, so he stretched out his hand to take a napkin off the table. Just as he was about to wipe his mouth, Shi Lei suddenly grabbed him again, wrapped his arms around his thin waist with his large hands, and embraced him in his arms.

Bai Qingquan couldn’t resist such a domineering man and felt his legs going soft.

“Don’t think about it. Just try it with me,” Shi Lei said. “Don’t torture me.”

They were too close. The scent of smoke, alcohol, and masculinity filled his nose.

“I really love you. In the past eight years, there has not been a day where I haven’t missed you.”

Bai Qingquan blushed as he lowered his head. Shi Lei also lowered his head as he threw the cigarette in his hands away and reached out to hold Bai Qingquan’s cheek and slightly force Bai Qingquan to look up at him.

‘My god,’ Bai Qingquan thought silently. ‘Too good.’

He really couldn’t stand it anymore. He pressed his hand back on the table, leaned back, and accidentally knocked down the teacup with his palm. With a crash, the tea flowed out, spilling tea leaves everywhere as it dripped down from the table, slowly descending to the floor.

With another crash, his hand had knocked the chopsticks off the plate as he was quickly supported by Shi Lei, who hugged him into his arms.

Shi Lei was taller and wider than him, so he could cover him completely. On this hot summer night, with the two of them only wearing a white t-shirt, they stuck together, feeling the heat from each other’s body temperature.

“Be my boyfriend?” Shi Lei asked.

The two of them were so close that the bridge of their noses rubbed against each other.

“Hm?” Shi Lei hummed.

This “hm” went straight to Bai Qingquan’s heart. This was a man who was strong and fierce and was now pleading to him. The closer he got, the stranger he felt when he looked at Shi Lie. From afar, he had thought Shi Lei looked similar to when he was a teenager, but being up close and looking more thoroughly, he looked very different. The strangeness was particularly strong, and it heightened his sense of excitement and fear. He was actually kissed by a man who he hadn’t seen for a long time and now has forcefully fallen in love with him.

All he could do was give an “un” agreeing to the proposal.

Shi Lei was startled before ecstasy slowly appeared on his face. His mouth grinned as he kissed Bai Qingquan’s forehead and cheeks.

While Bai Qingquan claimed himself to be ostentatious, in actuality he was quite shy. He shrunk his head and put his arms around his chest, as if in self-defense. The cowardice and innocence he showed only made Shi Lei’s eye burn with more passion. His love burned even hotter, making him feel more uncomfortable, so he held onto Bai Qingquan’s face and kissed him fiercely again.

Bai Qingquan had always thought he had good kissing skills, but facts have proven him otherwise. There was no way he could match Shi Lei’s passionate kiss. It came too strong, and he quite liked it because the young Shi Lei had always been hiding in his heart.

After Shi Lei kissed his mouth, he took his hand and kissed it, pecking the back of it constantly, but he kept looking directly into his eyes. Bai Qingquan had never seen such passionate love in his life. He found that Shi Lei truly loved him, was infatuated with him, and had longed for him.

This made him excited. It felt refreshing to be loved so passionately by someone.
