Many celebrities participated in the charity gala, and various public relations teams released marketing press releases in bulk, trying to gain enough exposure for their artists. However, none of these could compete with the “organic” support from the general public.
Below the hashtag #CharityGala#, almost all the discussions are about the Gu family. Besides Gu Shaocheng, the main focus is on Gu Lanzhi’s works. The style of “Evil Seed” is so terrifying that it even adds a touch of the supernatural to this oversight.
[Good heavens, I was almost scared to death when I saw it! Has Ms. Gu’s style changed so much?!]
[+1, things got really boring after Gu Shaocheng disappeared with his new boyfriend, so I started watching the rich people’s money-spending games… and then…orz[1]emoticon representing a person kneeling in despair or defeat jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1305024_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1305024_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });]
[So does anyone know what Gu Shaocheng and his new boyfriend up to?]
Immediately, media outlets at the scene released a blurry video showing the two entering the elevator hand-in-hand and not being seen again.
There are clearly two possibilities: either the two head straight up to the presidential suite, or they head down to the parking lot. However, they both end up the same place… well, you know what I mean…
The various media outlets that had been focusing on the two had amassed a huge collection of videos and photos. Midnight was the perfect time to hunt for traffic, and soon, detailed images from multiple angles and all angles were posted online.
There was even an additional hashtag: #CharityGalaLoveIntimateSnugglingAndFeeding#.
Netizens were shocked:
[Holy crap! This handsome little brother is so clingy! /nosebleed spurting.gif]
[To be fair, although Gu Shaocheng maintained his cool demeanor with a cold face, he still helped his boyfriend when he left, hehe. I won’t say who’s shipping them~]
[I really don’t understand what’s so interesting about these two guys sticking together! Where’s their self-restraint? Where’s their morality? And where’s the link to the paid subscription later?]
[Damn, am I the only one who feels sorry for that Wang family monkey who got cheated on?]

When Yu Yuan woke up, his head was throbbing with pain. He clutched his head and let out a painful “Ouch…”
Upon opening my eyes and seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, my body stiffened at first, like a snail that had lost its shell, my face filled with panic.
Fortunately, he quickly looked around and found that he was the only one in the room, with his phone lying on the other side of the bed.
He reached out to grab it and found his shoulders and arms inexplicably sore, as if he had lactic acid buildup from climbing the Great Wall with his hands the night before.
Lifting the covers, he saw that the large bath towel wrapped around his body had been removed at some point, leaving him naked… Yu Yuan’s brain went blank for a moment, until he saw his reddened knees and fragmented memories flashed through his mind.
Rain, a slide, seeking shelter under the leaves… Yu Yuan’s eyes widened suddenly. Forgetting his panic about the unfamiliar environment, he curled up in a ball, covered his head, and burrowed back into the covers. What on earth had he done?!
Yu Yuan recalled the events carefully again, and more and more outrageous fragments emerged. He was really too brave when he was drunk… Clinging tightly to Gu Shaocheng and running around the bathroom on all fours…
Just as Yu Yuan was about to be overwhelmed by his memories, the door to the room was pushed open. Yu Yuan froze, and then he heard a familiar, low, husky voice: “I heard you woke up.”
Yu Yuan felt a sense of relief, but it was quickly replaced by another kind of tension. His behavior while drunk was really too outrageous. Gu Shaocheng’s decision not to hit him was simply out of maternal love.
Yu Yuan’s face was deathly pale. A messy bird’s nest of hair slowly emerged from under the covers, followed by a pair of naturally handsome eyebrows, and then a pair of almond-shaped eyes filled with anxiety. His thick, raven-feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, making him look exceptionally pitiful. It was hard to imagine that this person would regress to a monkey when drunk.
For example, sliding between his legs, with his leaves pressing against him, and taking shelter from the rain with a satisfied expression—this is also a memory that Gu Shaocheng wants to erase.
Many people lose part of their memory after drinking to the point of blacking out. He wasn’t sure if Yu Yuan was like that, but the result would be the same no matter what.
Gu Shaocheng observed Yu Yuan’s guilty and fearful expression, and smiled slightly: “You ate too much fruit soaked in alcohol last night and got drunk, do you remember?”
Yu Yuan nodded slowly. At that time, he was still relatively sober. He saw Gu Shaocheng and then took the elevator together… He even remembered seeing a man with a dyed rooster comb among a group of men with slicked-back business hair.
Gu Shaocheng raised an eyebrow and continued to guide the conversation: “You were very drunk after we got to the room, remember?”
Yu Yuan suddenly realized something and his gaze unconsciously drifted to Gu Shaocheng’s lower abdomen, a spot he had never noticed before… even in his dormant state, it was quite defined…
Yu Yuan’s eyes glazed over for a moment… The leaves were truly… outrageous…
Gu Shaocheng took a deep breath. Sure enough, this swindler was here to jinx him: “Since you don’t remember, don’t think about it anymore. Get up, change your clothes, and eat.”
Yu Yuan was finally able to connect with Gu Shaocheng on a brainwave for once, and instantly understood the implication in the other’s words. This was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately replied, “Thank you for taking care of me! Although I can’t remember clearly, it must have been very tiring.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaocheng gave a cold laugh and said, word by word, “It’s… alright.”

Since there were no spare clothes for Yu Yuan in the car, Gu Shaocheng asked the driver to go to the mall and buy him a tracksuit.
When Yu Yuan was changing, he suddenly remembered what Gu Shaocheng had said the night before. He looked at the tag and saw that it was a size 170. What made him speechless was that because the style was loose, it was a little too big for him… Yu Yuan quickly put on a cat-like face.
He picked at the scrambled eggs on his plate, his mind quickly searching for various calcium-rich foods, and then opened his phone to add vitamin D and K2 to his shopping cart. He was determined to wear size 175 clothes while he was still young!
Upon seeing the message notification from Ye Qiutang, Yu Yuan, worried about his adoptive mother, immediately clicked on it and found that the other party had sent his a screen full of thumbs-up emojis: [A role model for us all!]
Yu Yuan was confused: [?]
After exiting the chat window, I noticed a red icon in the upper right corner of the “Contacts” icon at the bottom of the screen. How could someone have added him?
After clicking on it, I saw that the other party’s reason for applying was: I am Wen Ping.
Yu Yuan’s breath hitched. Wen Ping? ??? Wasn’t he the villain in the story?!
Some information about Wen Ping popped into my mind at just the right moment:
Although Wen Ping’s official position is Chairman’s Secretary, everyone knows that he is a capable assistant personally groomed by Old Master Gu and is destined to take over Gu’s Group as a professional manager. Therefore, he is respectfully addressed as President Wen both inside and outside the company.
Wen Ping always appeared gentle and smiling to outsiders, seemingly grateful for the old man’s kindness and willing to repay the Gu family’s kindness with abundant generosity. But only he himself knew his true feelings.
Old Master Gu looked down on those who lacked ability, but how could someone with a certain level of ability be content to be just a high-level employee?
Moreover, Wen Ping believed he resembled his grandfather in his youth more than his own grandson, Gu Shaocheng, both in appearance and ability. He had long considered the Gu family business to be his rightful possession…
Yu Yuan’s still somewhat hazy brain, still hungover, started working at high speed, and all the details he had overlooked the night before suddenly came flooding back.
He urgently needed to confirm his guess, so he opened a webpage and typed in “Wen Ping”. As the page redirected, Wen Ping’s high-definition work photo instantly enhanced the blurry outline of the person who had swallowed the contact lens.
This is outrageous! Not only did he encounter the villain Wen Ping, but the villain also ate his contact lenses, and now he actually wants to add him as a friend?
Yu Yuan looked ashen-faced: Help…
Gu Shaocheng, who always ate and slept in silence, noticed Yu Yuan’s constant fidgeting. He turned his head slightly and immediately saw the encyclopedia entry about Wen Ping on Yu Yuan’s screen.
His face turned cold, and then he saw Yu Yuan hurriedly switch the screen to the friend adding interface. Looking at the confident “I am Wen Ping”, a flash of disgust crossed Gu Shaocheng’s eyes.
Gu Shaocheng reached for the tissue box beside Yu Yuan, glancing at it casually: “Wen Ping?”
Yu Yuan’s back trembled, which Gu Shaocheng interpreted as a secret he didn’t want to be exposed. The man’s coldness deepened: “Why don’t you click ‘agree’?”
Yu Yuan pursed his lips nervously: “He added me… what if…”
Gu Shaocheng’s cold, dark eyes remained unblinking: “Hmm?”
Yu Yuan looked at Gu Shaocheng with a troubled expression: “Could it be…”
He hesitated for a long time, his eyes darting around, before finally asking, with a heavy heart, just before Gu Shaocheng’s patience ran out: “Is it because he had problems after eating contact lenses and is asking me for compensation…? I looked him up and he seems pretty capable, I… I’m afraid I can’t afford to pay for his lost wages…”
Gu Shaocheng: “…”
Gu Shaocheng pressed a tissue to his lips, concealing the slight upturn of his lips, and smiled inwardly. When it came to Yu Yuan’s erratic thought process, he should give him 100% trust.
The man watched Yu Yuan’s panic with a calm expression, listening to him mutter to himself, “He drank it himself. Although I mistook him for someone else and handed it to him first, he grabbed it so fast that I couldn’t stop him. And those glasses are so expensive…” He knew it; encountering a key character in a book was never a good thing!
Gu Shaocheng grew increasingly pleased as he listened, letting Yu Yuan ramble on for a while before slowly asking, “What do you plan to do?”
Yu Yuan’s brows were almost furrowed together. From any angle, he didn’t want to have anything to do with Wen Ping. Moreover, Yu Yuan’s life motto was that escape was shameful but exhilarating.
Soon, Gu Shaocheng saw Yu Yuan’s slender, pale fingers rapidly tapping on the screen, searching: [Why doesn’t the other person show up as an add contact on WeChat?]
Seeing the multiple possibilities listed in the answer, Yu Yuan slowly exhaled and then shared with Gu Shaocheng: “You see, there are many possible bugs here.”
Gu Shaocheng raised an eyebrow: “So?”
”I can completely ignore it.” After saying that, he clicked away the red dot without any hesitation. Yu Yuan winked at Gu Shaocheng expectantly, “You also thought he was outrageous yesterday, right? You’ll be on my side, right?”
Gu Shaocheng smiled and said, “Of course, it was his mistake.”
Hearing this, Yu Yuan felt even more confident, and his gaze towards Gu Shaocheng instantly filled with enthusiasm: “You’re so good to me!”
Gu Shaocheng turned his face away, a hint of pleasure flashing in his dark eyes. He suddenly felt that he shouldn’t demand pure loyalty; perhaps he could be a little kinder to the little liar…

After the two disappeared midway through the event, no reporter managed to capture any footage of them leaving until the banquet ended and the place was deserted. Most people assumed that the two had simply left midway through the event, and while they regretted not being able to chase after them, there was nothing they could do.
Only the top paparazzi from Orange Entertainment refused to give up, spending the entire night in the parking garage of the Linos Hotel. Three colleagues took turns sleeping and persisted until 2 p.m., teetering on the brink of giving up several times.
As it turned out, their hard work paid off, and they made the right bet!
The two had indeed been staying in the top-floor suite! The camera, which had just had its batteries replaced, was immediately pointed at the big man who had just stepped out of the elevator. Gu Shaocheng was seen supporting his younger boyfriend with one hand, and the two of them walked together toward the newly replaced Cullinan in the corner.
Yu Yuan was completely unaware of this; he was experiencing the retribution from the large hip.
The previous night, his drunken behavior aggravated his sprain. He used to only feel slight discomfort when sitting, but now even his walking posture has become strange.
Gu Shaocheng asked the driver to switch to an SUV so that Yu Yuan would be more comfortable. However, the Cullinan had a much higher chassis than the previous sedan, and Yu Yuan grimaced and howled in pain when he got in the car.
Hearing how pitiful it was, Gu Shaocheng swallowed his advice to “transform into an ape and climb up on all fours,” and instead stepped forward, grasped Yu Yuan’s slender waist, and gently lifted him into the seat.
Yu Yuan was deeply moved; a child with a father is like a treasure!
Gu Shaocheng chuckled lightly: “You’re happy now?”
Yu Yuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice: “You’re so kind.”
”It could be even better.” Gu Shaocheng leaned down to fasten his seatbelt, his warm breath brushing against Yu Yuan’s slightly startled eyes. “Grandpa wants to see you. This time, you can tell him we’ve been wanting some alone time.”
