Mr. Yu?
Mr. Yu is here?
Bai Mao’s ears immediately perked up. He turned his head, looking around and only then noticed Yu Xiangchen sitting on a sofa in the lounge area not far from the hotel lobby. Yu Xiangchen looked relaxed as he sat there yet he still gave off an unmistakably strong sense of pressure. His long legs were crossed casually, looking straight, long and cool, making Bai Mao’s eyes light up almost unconsciously.
Someone suddenly stopped beside him.
Ying Yimiao’s tone carried a trace of amused curiosity. “You like this type?”
He wasn’t blind.
From the moment the director called out “Mr. Yu,” Bai Mao seemed to have a switch flicked on. His gaze shifted instantly and then refused to move away from that man again.
If that person were to look at him with that kind of gaze,
Ying Yimiao’s body trembled slightly for a brief moment and his interest in Bai Mao immediately deepened.
Bai Mao: “……”
He shot Ying Yimiao a wary glance.
Too lazy to pay him any attention, Bai Mao walked straight over. “Mr. Yu, why are you here?”
Yu Xiangchen lifted his eyes.
His gaze swept lightly over Ying Yimiao before finally settling on Bai Mao. “I was passing by, so I came to take a look at you.”
At this moment, Mr. Yu looked far too serious and distant, completely different from the way he had appeared late at night before, when he looked at Bai Mao with such burning intensity.
For a moment, Bai Mao couldn’t even tell whether the man standing before him was the cold and restrained Mr. Yu or the passionate Mr. Yu from before.
But in a place like this, there was no real need to distinguish between the two.
The director and the others quickly came over, bowing and smiling as they shook hands with Yu Xiangchen. With a beaming face, the director said, “Mr. Yu, I’m the director of this drama. We met before when you invested in our production. I really didn’t expect you to make time to come today… Have you had dinner yet? Or perhaps, ”
“No need.”
Yu Xiangchen’s reply was brief and to the point.
Bai Mao smoothly picked up the conversation. “Director, it’s already pretty late. Mr. Yu doesn’t look very well-rested either, he’s probably tired. I’ll take Mr. Yu upstairs first.”
“Ah… alright.”
It really was late and Yu Xiangchen appearing at this hour, anyone with half a brain could guess who he was here for and why. With everyone crowding around like this, they were only getting in the way. Thinking that, the looks the others cast at Bai Mao inevitably took on a hint of ambiguity.
The director immediately said, “We’ll head upstairs first then. Xiao Bai, make sure you take good care of Mr. Yu.”
Bai Mao nodded. “Alright.”
He automatically ignored the gazes around him. After the director and the others left, he led Yu Xiangchen toward the elevators. Walking slightly ahead, he asked cheerfully, “Mr. Yu, how long have you been waiting here? Why didn’t you give me a call?”
Yu Xiangchen said, “Not long.”
Bai Mao continued, “Did you come alone this time?”
Yu Xiangchen replied, “Mm.”
Bai Mao fell into thought.
He came alone. If his guess was right…
Before long, the two arrived at Bai Mao’s hotel room.
The moment they entered, Bai Mao reached back and closed the door. In the very next second, he was pulled into Yu Xiangchen’s arms. Their bodies pressed close together. Mr. Yu raised an eyebrow, leaned in close to Bai Mao’s ear and asked in a teasing, flirtatious tone, “Did you miss me?”
Bai Mao: “!”
Missed you,
Very much.
Bai Mao’s eyes curved into a smile. He thought to himself that in front of others, this Mr. Yu really put on a convincing act. He had almost been fooled, genuinely unable to tell which Mr. Yu was which.
But then another thought crossed his mind.
If it truly were that aloof, desireless Mr. Yu, how could he possibly come to see him alone? Just to avoid suspicion, he would never have entered Bai Mao’s hotel room, instead booking a separate one.
Bai Mao clung to Yu Xiangchen, rubbing his head against the other man’s shoulder. “Mr. Yu, I missed you so much.”
Yu Xiangchen’s lips curled upward.
He deliberately scoffed softly and asked, “Did you miss me or did you miss my big treasure?”
“…This Mr. Yu really did like asking questions like that. It seemed like he had asked the same thing last time too. If he absolutely had to answer honestly, then of course Bai Mao only missed the big treasure.
But as a qualified canary, how could he ever let his patron know his true thoughts?
Bai Mao immediately put on a shy expression and said, “Of course I missed you, Mr. Yu.”
After a pause, he added softly, “But I also really missed Mr. Yu’s big treasure.”
Yu Xiangchen’s eyes darkened and he scooped Bai Mao up into his arms.
The hotel’s soundproofing wasn’t particularly good.
This entire floor had been booked by their production crew, people he would see again and again. Bai Mao worried they might hear something, so he felt a little embarrassed and couldn’t fully let himself go.
His eyes were watery and his slender fingers covered his lips as broken, choked sounds spilled out from his throat.
He didn’t know what exactly had set Yu Xiangchen off but the man was far more fierce than usual.
The hotel bed creaked for the better part of the night.
When it was finally over, Bai Mao felt so good he didn’t even want to move a finger. Even so, he was still unsatisfied. Lying on the bed, he wrapped his legs around Yu Xiangchen. “Again. Let’s do it again.”
Yu Xiangchen: “……”
Yu Xiangchen wore a deeply contemplative expression.
Was Bai Mao really human?
Was he actually some kind of an incubus spirit in disguise???
They had already done it,
So many times already. How was it that Bai Mao still wanted more!?
Yu Xiangchen was someone who was very loyal to his desires.
After realizing that those three days each month simply weren’t enough to satisfy his craving for Bai Mao, he didn’t hesitate for even a second, he directly went to war with his primary personality.
The last half month had been absolute torment for him but fortunately, the ending was beautiful.
What he hadn’t expected was that Bai Mao himself…
It truly made one wish they could die on his body.
Bai Mao lifted his head, his eyes pitiful and full of tenderness. “Mr. Yu? Why did you stop moving? Could it be that you can’t go on anymore? People say it’s seven times in one night, you’re not even close to that yet.”
Yu Xiangchen ground his teeth.
What kind of man could tolerate being told he “couldn’t do it”?
Just as he was about to move again, he suddenly paused. Narrowing his eyes, he gripped Bai Mao’s waist and demanded, “Who does it seven times a night?”
Bai Mao replied innocently, “…In anime.”
Yu Xiangchen: “……”
So that was it.
Yu Xiangchen didn’t doubt Bai Mao’s words.
If Bai Mao truly had someone else, then every time they did it… it wouldn’t make sense for this many rounds to still not be enough.
Besides, Bai Mao wouldn’t dare mess around.
Yu Xiangchen’s heart settled. He really was reaching his limit, so he simply lay back down and said unhappily, “Can anime be compared to real people? Doing it that many times, aren’t you afraid of mucosal damage?”
Bai Mao: “?”
Damn it.
Before Yu Xiangchen raised such a painfully realistic question, Bai Mao genuinely hadn’t thought about it at all!
He hesitated. “…Probably not?”
As a paper character living inside a novel, how could something that strange even happen!? In the original storyline, after Bai Sheng and Yu Wantian got together, their life had been very harmonious. Yu Wantian basically held Bai Sheng every single day.
His ability was fierce, seven times in one night was nothing to him. Bai Sheng spent every night either begging for mercy or complaining his waist was sore.
…There was never any plot where Bai Sheng went to see a doctor.
And besides, Yu Xiangchen was the uncle, there was no way he’d be worse than his own nephew, right?
“How could it not happen?”
Yu Xiangchen’s expression was calm as he was about to continue, only to be suddenly hugged tightly by Bai Mao.
Bai Mao whined coquettishly, “Stop talking, stop talking.”
Then he very straightforwardly changed the subject. “Mr. Yu, are you staying here tonight?”
Yu Xiangchen replied, “Mm. I’ll go to the set during the day to watch you film.”
Wow.
Bai Mao had never seen this Mr. Yu during the daytime before. He’d always thought this man only appeared at night.
But…
Bai Mao yawned, burrowed straight into Yu Xiangchen’s arms and felt that a patron going to the set to watch him film was honestly unnecessary. Like before, only appearing at night, arriving like a ravenous wolf, disappearing without a trace by day but if anything came up and he went looking for him, the patron would swiftly resolve it… that was the perfect mode of coexistence between the two of them.
Sigh.
He really hoped time would stay frozen in the past.
Not long after Ying Yimiao returned to his hotel room, Bai Sheng gave him a call.
He saw it but didn’t answer. Instead, he went to take a shower, leisurely finished washing up and only after everything was done and Bai Sheng called again, did he finally pick up.
“Mr. Ying, were you busy earlier? I called you several times.” Bai Sheng’s voice was lively. Though he was no longer young, it still carried a hint of childish softness that made him sound extremely cute.
Ying Yimiao was utterly unmoved, his tone icy. “Mm. Busy.”
Bai Sheng paused.
That answer was… a little too cold.
He didn’t know what had gone wrong.
Back when they first met, Ying Yimiao’s attitude had been extremely warm. The way he looked at him was like a burning flame, even filled with possessiveness that made Bai Sheng somewhat uncomfortable.
But now that Ying Yimiao had changed, Bai Sheng felt even more uncomfortable instead…
He asked softly, “Mr. Ying, recently… why have you been towards me… ”
Before he could finish hesitating his way through the question, Ying Yimiao interrupted him.
He said, “The thing you mentioned to me before, I’ve already taken care of it for you. Once some time passes and the schedules align, you can join the crew. Anything else? If not, I’m hanging up. I’m going to sleep.”
Bai Sheng: “……”
Lowering his voice, Bai Sheng said, “Mr. Ying, the weather’s gotten colder recently. Remember to dress warmly. Since you’re going to sleep, I won’t say any more and… thank you.”
The call ended.
Ying Yimiao walked out onto the balcony and lit a cigarette. Smoke curled around him as he narrowed his eyes, recalling something from not too long ago.
One week earlier.
Ying Yimiao had been invited to the Shang family’s home.
The two families had a distant kinship of sorts. If one insisted on tracing it, Shang Tongrui’s mother, Ge Qian, could be considered his elder sister but even during holidays, the two sides never visited each other. They didn’t even have each other’s contact information.
Ge Qian had obtained his number temporarily by asking around various relatives, going through several intermediaries. So when he received the invitation, he was surprised.
He happened to have time, so Ying Yimiao went.
Only after arriving did he find out that Ge Qian had invited him because of Bai Sheng.
“I heard someone say you’ve been very close lately with that child named Bai Sheng?” Ge Qian handed a glass of juice to Ying Yimiao and from his expression, she obtained her answer.
She snorted lightly. “I knew it. Even you couldn’t escape, he’s managed to charm you too.”
Ying Yimiao raised an eyebrow, his fingers brushing along the glass. “What do you mean?”
He did indeed know Bai Sheng and was very interested in him. He’d even considered whether to keep him by his side, which was why he frequently visited the set and took special care of Bai Sheng.
Within the circle, this wasn’t exactly a secret. Anyone with eyes could see his special treatment of Bai Sheng.
But from the way Ge Qian spoke, it sounded like there was more to it.
Ge Qian’s voice was gentle. “You might not have met my son, Shang Tongrui. He loves acting and insisted on entering the entertainment industry. He’s currently with CDL as well. You don’t know this, do you? He and Bai Sheng actually knew each other quite early on. Bai Sheng told my son that he had a second brother, bad-tempered, cold toward his family, unwilling to listen when things happened and even ran away from home…”
Ying Yimiao: “…Bai Mao?”
“So you do know.” Ge Qian couldn’t help letting a trace of a smile show. “What about you? Did he tell you the same thing?”
Ying Yimiao replied, “There are some differences but it’s roughly the same.”
“Then that’s right. Back then, I don’t know what came over my son, he trusted him immensely but the Bai family and ours have business dealings. Do you know what was really going on behind all of this?”
Ying Yimiao frowned.
Ge Qian didn’t bother beating around the bush and said directly, “That child named Bai Mao grew up in an orphanage. The Bai family wanted to climb higher and planned a marriage alliance with the Yu family but they were unwilling to let their adopted son Bai Sheng marry into it.”
“Coincidentally, Bai Mao gained popularity through a talent show. So last year, at the Yu family old master’s birthday banquet, you happened to have something come up and didn’t go, they called Bai Mao over and had him meet Yu Wantian. We’re all in this circle. You know exactly what kind of person Yu Wantian is. How could Bai Mao not run? If it were me, I’d run too!”
Ying Yimiao was momentarily stunned.
“And also…”
Ge Qian continued, her tone turning serious, “That person is a little… off. Anyone who’s ever had contact with him tends to believe him. No one ever thinks to verify whether what he says is true or false. Look, given your status, wouldn’t it be effortless to check his background? But did you ever think of investigating? From now on, you need to be careful when dealing with him. See if he’s raising something… unclean.”
So that was it.
Ever since Ying Yimiao met Bai Sheng, he had never once considered verifying whether anything Bai Sheng said was true. It was as if some unseen voice had been whispering to him that a kind, lovely child like Bai Sheng would never lie.
