Yu Yuan was overjoyed; this was incredibly exciting news for him!
Before Gu Shaocheng could even straighten up, Yu Yuan excitedly hugged him, saying, “Thank you! You’re so kind to me!!”
The sudden warmth in his arms startled Gu Shaocheng.
However, the hug was short-lived, and Yu Yuan quickly realized that he had been too excited. His face flushed, he said awkwardly, “Sorry, I was just too happy.”
He thought for a moment and then tried to find a suitable reason for his excitement: “I once read Grandpa Gu’s biography…”
Gu Shaocheng composed himself before the conversation was over. A moment later, the car started moving, and the man silently watched the street scene rushing past the window, his thin lips pressing into a cold, sharp line.

With this exclusive report in hand, DaJu Entertainment doesn’t want to just jump on the bandwagon and call it a day.
After all, other media outlets only captured seemingly affectionate interactions between the two, but they captured clear evidence that the two were having an affair. Upon returning to the studio, they immediately mobilized the entire staff to create a special report.
Starting with Gu Shaocheng’s sweet romance with his new boyfriend, the story then shifts to rumors of a marriage alliance between the Gu and Wang families. Behind the candid photos of the two is actually a story involving three people, instantly escalating the melodrama to its peak.
Soon, the hashtag #GuShaochengHasATwentyHoursOfIntenseBattleWithHisNewBoyfriend# appeared at the bottom of the trending topics list and, just as DaJu Entertainment had predicted, quickly rose to the top of the trending list.
Clicking on the entry leads to a video shot by Daju Entertainment, in which the new boyfriend’s awkward walking posture is clearly visible.
Gu Shaocheng still maintained his tall, aloof, and ascetic appearance, but his actions were unexpectedly considerate. He supported the other person all the way from the elevator to the car, and even lifted him into the car.
That’s not all. Even though they could have walked around to the other side of the car in just two seconds, the two of them lingered there like they couldn’t bear to part.
Gu Shaocheng helped his new boyfriend fasten his seatbelt, and after they talked for a while, the new boyfriend was overjoyed and hugged him affectionately again…
DaJu Entertainment highlighted Cullinan’s appearance in the shot, adding a yellow caption: “[Yesterday he was driving a sedan, but Gu Shaocheng had the driver switch to an SUV at the last minute].”
[Good heavens, good heavens, I’m really something else! He cheated on someone the day before yesterday, publicly flaunted his relationship yesterday, and today he is completely exhausted. This speed… If Nuwa Dai were a woman, she could easily marry into a wealthy family through her son!]
[Hahaha, what the heck is Nuwa Dai?! Is there such an abbreviation?! (To be honest, Nuwa’s masterpiece is truly captivating, I absolutely adore this handsome young man QAQ/slurp slurp.jpg)]
[Sweet my foot… The thought of cheating and infidelity makes me instantly weak! You scum, get the hell out of here!]
…
Yu Yuan was stunned when he saw the trending topic; it was Ye Qiutang who told him to go and see it for himself.
His first thought was that the male and female leads should also be trending on social media, and he thought it would be good to keep an eye on the main plot so that he could respond to any changes in the future.
When he opened the trending topics, there wasn’t a single trace of the male and female leads; it was all about him and Gu Shaocheng?! Only then did he belatedly realize what Ye Qiutang meant by “a role model for our generation”…
Ye Qiutang: [He forbids me from going into prostitution, yet he’s out partying with random men and walking unsteadily/pointing and whispering.jpg]
Yu Yuan: [No, I didn’t! I just twisted my hip!!]
Ye Qiutang: [Image: Even a dog wouldn’t believe this.]
Ye Qiutang: [Hey, I’ve unplugged your internet cable, so you can have fun outside! /sucking at Hua Zi.jpg]
Yu Yuan didn’t bother joking with him. He opened the trending topics list and searched from beginning to end to confirm that the male lead was not there… The plot about the Linos charity gala had disappeared?
Yu Yuan couldn’t believe it, so he went to look through the photos of the banquet’s departure and actually found photos of the male and female leads leaving separately. In the photos, the two of them looked normal and were accompanied by other people, and there was no trace of any plot development.
Yu Yuan brushed a stray hair from his forehead, forced to accept the undeniable truth: the initial encounter between the male and female leads seemed to have been completely ruined by his drunken, impulsive actions…
When Gu Shaocheng hung up the phone, he saw Yu Yuan with a complicated expression on his face: “What’s wrong? Weren’t you going to retrieve your suitcase?”
Yu Yuan slapped his forehead: “Oh, right.”
Although he always felt that the main plot was not something a minor character like him should get involved in, he didn’t know where the problem arose that caused the butterfly effect, so he figured it was what it was.
Once Yu Yuan’s fruitless struggle was interrupted, he immediately veered off to another matter.
Grandpa Gu is currently recuperating on Hainan Island. The two of them booked flights for this evening, but Yu Yuan’s suitcase is still at the Wang family’s house, so they plan to go directly to the Wang family’s house to retrieve it on the way.
Unable to reach Wang’s mother by phone, Yu Yuan had no choice but to contact Wang’s father, who had always been indifferent to him.
Wang’s father was at home reading the news online. He wasn’t concerned about the relationship between his fake son, who had been married in place of him, and Gu Shaocheng, but rather about how his beloved son had been mocked by online trolls again.
Actually, when the marriage between the Gu and Wang families was first announced, some people said that if the baby swap incident hadn’t happened, the person Gu Shaocheng would have married would have been Wang Jingxiao, and Gu Shaocheng wouldn’t have been so unlucky as to marry a monkey.
At that time, even though Wang’s father knew that Yu Yuan was not bad after taking off his glasses, he was naturally happy to see the overwhelming praise for his precious son on the internet and the fierce criticism of Yu Yuan.
As a result, this time, Daju Entertainment’s special report, in order to capitalize on the hot topic, once again included Wang Jingxiao. However, last time he was called Monkey, but this time, compared to “Nuwa Dai,” Wang Jingxiao became nothing more than a speck of mud casually thrown on the ground.
Wang’s father was a big, burly man who considered marrying a goddess and having a handsome son, thus improving their genes, as a great source of pride. He loved his son dearly and couldn’t stand such talk. When he received Yu Yuan’s call, he immediately became angry.
”Someone as busy as you booking hotel rooms has time to make phone calls?” Mr. Wang, who already had a loud voice, raised it even louder than usual as he was in a bad mood.
The Cullinan has excellent sound insulation; you could hear a pin drop inside. Gu Shaocheng, sitting next to him, heard this sarcastic question clearly.
Yu Yuan got straight to the point: “I want to retrieve my luggage.”
At first, when he thought the Wang couple were really his biological parents, he could still try to negotiate despite his social anxiety. Now, he can only sigh in his heart how terrifying a man who has cheated on himself is.
After thinking for a moment on the phone, Wang’s father remembered the tattered box that Yu Yuan had left at his house.
He originally thought Yu Yuan had risen to a higher social status, but he didn’t expect that after being played with all night, he would have to come back to retrieve those worthless luggage. Wasn’t it obvious that Gu Shaocheng had played him for nothing?
He said that Yu Yuan, a nobody, wouldn’t even be worthy of being played with by Gu Shaocheng if it weren’t for the Wang family’s background. How could he compare to his exceptionally talented son?
Mr. Wang felt much better, but that was not enough. He couldn’t fight back for his son online, so he would make amends to Yu Yuan in private.
His tone softened a bit: “Come back and get it now.”
Yu Yuan pursed his lips, hung up the phone, and looked up to meet Gu Shaocheng’s gloomy dark eyes.
The man exuded a sinister aura, probably because the other party he had called not long ago had not satisfied him.
Yu Yuan felt the temperature inside the car drop suddenly, and his mind immediately went astray, marveling at Gu Shaocheng as a truly treasure of a boy. He could keep warm by his high body temperature, and occasionally radiate cool air to lower the temperature—truly a Gu Shuangyi[1]双宜=Shuangyi=suitable for both jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1305151_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1305151_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });, suitable for both summer and winter!
Throughout the journey, Gu Shaocheng continuously released cold air, and Yu Yuan turned up the air conditioning and found a comfortable position to rub the sprained area on his right side.
Ever since he heard that Grandpa Gu was recuperating on Hainan Island, his fear and anxiety about going out were immediately overshadowed by the excitement of seeing the sea for the first time.
The main problem he faces at this stage is the contradiction between his ever-growing need to enjoy splashing in the water at a private beach and the new and old injuries to his hip.
Gu Shaocheng noticed out of the corner of his eye that Yu Yuan’s expression was becoming increasingly listless, and unsurprisingly, he didn’t share Yu Yuan’s thoughts.
As soon as the car stopped, Gu Shaocheng unbuckled his seatbelt and said coldly, “Your leg is injured, I’ll get it for you.”
Yu Yuan’s eyes were like light bulbs that had been instantly lit up, bursting out with dazzling light, which was like hearing celestial music and instantly brightening the ears for someone with social anxiety!
Yu Yuan clasped his hands together, his eyes glistening with tears: “You’re so kind!”
Seeing this, Gu Shaocheng’s expression turned even colder. He gave a soft reply and got out of the car to leave.
The bodyguard naturally followed him, quickly handing Yu Yuan a small black bag before getting out of the car, saying, “This medicine can alleviate your injuries,” before hurriedly leaving.
Yu Yuan thanked him repeatedly. Now, not only were he and Gu Shaocheng a loving father and son, but even his taciturn bodyguard was taking such good care of him. It was truly a case of genuine affection and love in the world!
In the past, when Yu Yuan sprained his ankle, his adoptive mother would buy him some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and he would recover much faster after taking it. However, he hadn’t had time to take care of it this time. He didn’t expect that his bodyguard brother, a tough guy with a tender heart, would be so thoughtful.
As Yu Yuan thought this to himself, a pair of shallow dimples appeared on his lips as he smiled. Slightly flustered, he asked the driver, “Sir, is there any water in the car? I’d like to take some medicine.”
Even after the driver poured the water, Yu Yuan still hadn’t managed to untie the bag.
His nails were too short and he didn’t want to tear someone else’s bag, so after trying for a long time, he only loosened the knot a little.
Seeing this, the driver politely asked, “Would you like to test the water temperature first, and then I’ll help you untie it?”
Yu Yuan felt a warmth in his heart as he handed over the bag. Today had truly been a day that had warmed his heart greatly, thanks to Gu Shaocheng and the people around him: “Thank you so much!”
The driver smiled and said, “You’re too kind. Zheng Liang has a strong grip, so it’s normal that it’s difficult for you to untie it.”
Yu Yuan sipped the hot water, the temperature just right, and held the cup with anticipation in his eyes.
A bodyguard with such exceptional skills must be an expert in this area; he might even have some secret recipe that works wonders for him.
The next moment, the driver unzipped his pocket, his smile freezing slightly: “This medicine… isn’t for oral administration…”
Yu Yuan’s smile deepened: “Is it applied?”
The driver slowly took out the medicine box, which seemed to weigh a ton: “It shouldn’t be…”
Yu Yuan was puzzled. What else could be causing his injury besides oral medication and topical application? It really was a professional’s exclusive remedy!
His eyes lit up, and he eagerly reached out his hand.
The medicine box was handed to his, and Yu Yuan’s smile froze on his face as he read the words on it.
The simple red, white, and yellow color scheme, along with eight eye-catching characters, highlights the classic Chinese brand.
