“Mmm.”
Chu Chen’an’s hands struggled a few times, but he found himself being held even tighter, and the fine hot air around him lingered, making him breathless.
[Ding! The live broadcast is on automatically.]
[Live time: 30 minutes]
[Dang!]
[Groundhog screams! (X555 gold coins)]
[I’m going to get a nosebleed (scream) (scream) (X25 gold coins)]
[I’m here]
[This NPC is so handsome (X30 gold coins)]
[Wife, wife, wife, wife.]
[It’s too exciting, isn’t it?]
[Don’t blame me for being crazy. Give me my wife, please.]
[Bitter Tea takes off…]
“Ding! detected suspected private content from the anchor and has automatically blocked it.”
[C, the screen is black.]
[I can’t see my wife anymore.+
[My wife is too busy. He’s busy at night and then during the day.]
The comments in the live broadcast room were going extremely fast, and the gold coins quickly broke ten thousand in ten minutes.
Chu Chen’an was strongly kissed by Lan Xu; his wrists were held by a big hand, as if he were in a hot, dense net, making it difficult to escape.
His consciousness wasn’t completely blurred; he could recognise the person in front of him as Lan Xu. Lan Xu’s eyes shone with a seductive lustre like deep jade, confusing him deeply.
Lan Xu loosened his grip on Chu Chen’an’s wrists.
Was that bowl of soup…?
Chu Chen’an squinted his eyes in confusion; the corners of his eyes looked more and more red. “Don’t.”
He used all his strength to raise a hand and vainly blocked Lan Xu’s lips.
Lan Xu’s figure gave a start; his eyes were gloomy, then Lan Xu’s hands propped up on Chu Chen’an’s sides, looking at his red face for a long time.
Suddenly, his one hand held Chu Chen’an’s hand against his lips, his tongue lightly licked down the palm of his hand.
His eyes were dangerously possessive and implacable.
“I won’t let you go next time, baby.”
Lan Xu wrapped Chu Chen’an into the quilt, then wiped his face with a hot towel, straightened his clothes, and branded a final kiss on Chu Chen’an’s forehead before leaving his room.
With his collar wide open, he walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower.
……
Chu Chen’an sat up violently; he inclined his head to look; the sky by the window had become grey and the light inside the room was gloomy; he opened his eyes wide; his eyes were dull and slightly stunned, still recalling those fragments of memories from this afternoon.
Suddenly, he ran into the bathroom barefoot with the blanket still covering him, and the bathroom mirror was covered with water mist. He leaned in to take a closer look.
From neck to belly, there were a total of a dozen red marks; his white skin made it especially obvious.
His earlobe turned red as he rubbed against it; he couldn’t tell if it was in anger or fear. He bowed and rinsed his face with cold water before hastily descending the stairs.
As he walked down the stairs, his footsteps subconsciously slowed down, and he nervously looked around the hall; there was no one inside.
Only then did he relax and walk towards the hall, intending to look for He Xuesheng. The hall was spacious; there were two red pear-carved wooden shelves displaying all kinds of extravagant jade and porcelain decorations.
As he passed the wooden shelves, he caught a glimpse of Lan Xu sitting by the window not far away, leisurely drinking a glass of wine.
Chu Chen’an lowered his head, his heart racing with nervousness, and he tried to walk out of the door silently.
“Chen’an, you’re awake?”
His footsteps abruptly lurched; he inclined his head to look at Lan Xu and said in a small voice, “Uh-huh.”
Lan Xu put down his white porcelain wine glass and stared at him calmly, and only after a long time did he speak, “I see that your spirit is much better; come and have a cup of tea.”
“No need,” Chu Chen’an stammered, aiming for the door. “I’m going to find He Xuesheng…”
Before he could finish, He Xuesheng’s shouts came from outside the door: “Chen’an! Chen’an, something’s wrong!”
Chu Chen’an looked at He Xuesheng, rushing in wearing clothes stained with yellow mud.
Chu Chen’an felt vaguely uneasy and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“One of our cars was damaged by a rock! The window panes are broken in two pieces,” He Xuesheng said with a bit of regret, gasping for breath. “The seats are full of glass slag, so I guess it’s ruined.”
“It was well done; how could it be smashed?” Chu Cheng asked in a low voice.
He Xuesheng also found it strange. “That’s right! Today at noon it was still good. I just went over to take a look; even the steering wheel is broken.”
“There are often falling rocks in that cliff, and the wind is not good these days.” Lan Xu stood up and comforted them, “I have a friend who has car parts in the cottage and can help; I can help you guys contact him. You guys shouldn’t rush; let’s see if we can fix it first.”
Chu Chen’an secretly observed Lan Xu’s expression; that perfect face looked sincere, not like someone who would intentionally destroy a car.
“Alas, it can only be this way.” He Xuesheng sighed, “Thanks in advance then, Lan Xu. Let me know when that friend of yours arrives; I’ll go talk to Old Liang and see what to do.”
Lan Xu smiled, “You’re welcome.”
After saying that, He Xuesheng left. He then sat by the phone and made a call, supposedly contacting someone.
Lan Xu was very casual when he was on the phone; his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his tone was not as eager as he usually was to him; it was plain as water.
Lan Xu was excellent, with unique charm and gentleness.
Although Chu Chen’an didn’t want to admit it, his eyes were really pretty.
“Okay, come over here. Come over today and see what things need to be changed, hmm.”
His conversation was brief, and he hung up the phone after saying that.
Chu Chen’an looked at him standing still and didn’t know where to go. He looked in Lan Xu’s direction, then looked out the door, lifted his foot, and walked towards the door.
“Chen’an, where are you going?” Lan Xu’s attitude shifted in a very obvious and warm manner.
Chu Chen’an pointed down at the door and hesitantly said, “I’m going to look for them too.”
“I’ve already contacted my friend who repairs cars to come over; just come over and sit down,” Lan Xu said. “I have something to give you.”
Chu Chen’an reluctantly walked over and sat across from Lan Xu.
Lan Xu handed him a green-coloured bag. “I saw that your spirit isn’t good, so I specially went to pick some herbs to calm the mind. I made a scented bag for you; put this by your bedside and you’ll improve in a few days.”
Chu Chen’an opened that lime green sac bag. The sac bag emitted a familiar fragrance; it was the odour of that red compote flower, a very enticing fragrance.
He recognised the flower and plant in the pouch; this kind of flower and plant was very precious; it usually grew on the edge of mountain cliffs; he had seen it before when Lan Huai took him to the flower field in the back of the mountain; that area was steep and dangerous, making it very difficult to pick.
“It took me a long time to pick it, look,” Lan Xu pulled up his own sleeve, revealing a few thin scars on his arm, and said with grievance, “I even got hurt trying to pick this.”
“……” Chu Chen’an finally had a hint of softness in his heart and was too embarrassed to refuse. “Don’t go picking next time; it’s too dangerous. Thank you!”
“No need to thank me.” Lan Xu propped up his chin and locked eyes with him, then said sweetly, “It’s fine as long as you like it.”
Chu Chen’an lowered his head, his hand cupped the capsule belt, his heart still pounding.
He took a deep breath and still decided to confront him face-to-face, “Why did I suddenly fall asleep at noon?”
“You passed out from low bloo-d sugar at noon today,” Lan Xu said without changing his expression. “I carried you back to your room.”
Chu Chen’an let out an “oh.”.
Lan Xu’s fingertips lightly tapped on the desktop, making a faint knocking sound. He stared at the red marks on Chu Chen’an’s white neck and knowingly asked, “Chen’an, were you bitten by an insect?”
Chu Chen’an quickly lost the battle: “It’s… just strange.”
Although he was stupid, he could sense if it was a dream or not.
Moreover, he knew that Lan Xu had already recognised him a long time ago, and those dreams over these days couldn’t possibly be dreams.
Lan Xu had definitely secretly kissed him.
This per-vert!
Then, if Lan Xu frequently treated him so well, it couldn’t be that he really liked him, right?
Moreover, why did Lan Xu never point it out and kept pretending that he didn’t know?
Chu Chen’an was even more worried.
“I have ointment; let me help you apply it.” Lan Xu said and wanted to get up.
Chu Chen’an waved his hand repeatedly; he put away the lime green pouch, got up, and said, “I… will go look for Director Liang.”
With that, he ran out the door as if escaping.
……
The B&B room was quiet; the shopkeeper was sitting in a rocking chair grinding something, a white piece, it looked like an animal bone.
The shopkeeper saw Chu Chen’an come, immediately got up and nodded to him, sending him all the way up the stairs. “Just go up; if you need anything, call me, haha.”
Chu Chen’an nodded very uncomfortably and walked quickly up to the second floor.
As he approached the doorway of Director Liang’s room, there was the sound of several people talking inside.
“Don’t we still have a car that can fit eight people? Leave one person here to wait for that car to be repaired before returning; won’t that be fine?” The small assistant said.
“No, we have to go together.” Xuesheng said.
“Why can’t we go? It’s better to leave with eight people than to waste time in this rundown place.” The assistant refused to give up.
“Then, which person is suitable to keep?” He Xuesheng’s voice was very loud, sounding like they were arguing.
“Let’s just keep Chu Chen’an… Anyway, he’s quite happy staying at that handsome guy’s house. He’s having a great time and doesn’t even want to go back, does he?” The assistant sourly retorted.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” He Xuesheng disagreed. “Why keep my buddy? I want to keep you.”
“Hey, why are you cursing?” said the little assistant. “You’re an art student, yet you have no quality at all. Director Liang, look at him!”
“Alright, alright, you two stop arguing.”
Old Liang persuaded them to stop and said to He Xuesheng, “How about this, Xuesheng, go and ask Chen’an’s opinion?”
“Brother-in-law, what do you mean?” He Xuesheng ruffled his hair. “Don’t bother asking; can’t means can’t; we can’t leave him here alone!”
Old Liang got up and stopped him. “Don’t be so hasty; I haven’t said I want him to stay; isn’t this a discussion? Besides, there is no danger in letting him stay here… We plan to leave tonight.”
He Xuesheng: “If you guys want to leave, just leave; I’ll stay too!”
“Don’t fool around.” Old Liang said.
Chu Chen’an’s footsteps paused; it seemed like he shouldn’t go in in this atmosphere.
He had been separated from the group these days due to staying at Lan Xu’s house, and it was inevitable that he would face some exclusion, but there was still a hint of disappointment hidden in his heart.
Fortunately, he still had He Xuesheng as a sincere friend.
He turned around and left the promenade. There was a faint aggravation in his heart; somehow, as soon as he was aggravated, he wanted to go to Lan Huai.
He felt conflicted; although he knew he couldn’t go, the feeling of being abandoned wasn’t very pleasant. Although he was afraid to face him, he couldn’t help but miss him.
He knew that his last exit without saying goodbye hurt Lan Huai, but Lan Huai still loved him.
The behind-the-scenes NPCs of each copy were like exclusive lovers that the system had set up specifically for him; they had different personalities and appearances, but they all acted like the same person.
After the first time he got stuck in, there would be a second, third, and fourth… time.
It was out of control, and he had long been tightly bound without realising it.
Lan Huai said that he would be back tomorrow; today went by so slowly.
He travelled all the way along the golden yellow scattered by the setting sun to that field of flowers, weaving through the rotting flowers and finding the dense forest by memory.
He passed through the dense forest, and it was suddenly dark.
As expected, the coffin tomb from last time was gone, leaving only the endless golden rice fields.
Chu Chen’an stopped and watched for a few seconds; his heart was certain.
They were the same person.
Intuition couldn’t be wrong.
As he thought, a bean-sized drop of rain hit his face.
Chu Chen’an tilted his head to see that it was raining.
It wasn’t raining heavily, but the drops were a bit cold on his body.
He found the bottom of a rock on a small hill and wanted to wait for the rain to subside before going back.
His shoulders and sleeves were all wet, and he put his hands on his knees, shrinking into a tiny ball.
After a long time, the rain still hadn’t stopped, and his top was basically wet.
What bad luck!
Chu Chen’an pursed his lips.
The aggravation in his heart instantly diminished greatly, and he glanced at the red fruit growing nearby, only feeling hungry.
The red fruits were translucent with watery light and looked crisp and fresh. Lan Xu had picked similar fruits for him in the past that were especially sweet.
His stomach growled with hunger, so he raised his hand and picked two. It wasn’t as sweet as he had imagined, but it barely satiated his stomach.
After eating the fruits, just as he was shivering from the cold, a shadow suddenly covered the top of his head, and the rain was isolated.
“What’s the point of coming here, soaking wet and miserable?”
Chu Chen’an looked up in a daze and saw Lan Xu’s face.
Lan Xu held an umbrella in one hand and wrapped his jacket around Chu Chen’an’s body.
Chu Chen’an instantly warmed back up.
“You came to find my brother?” Lan Xu said with a sour tone, “It seems like you really care about him.”
Since they were already here, it would be a good idea to simply open up the conversation.
Chu Chen’an tilted his head; his beautiful eyes were extremely clear. “The tomb from last time, how come it’s gone?”
“Well, that’s a fake; my brother and… Chen An’s tomb really isn’t here.” Lan Xu raised a hand, full of apologies, “I’m sorry, la, Chen’an, I lied to you.”
Chu Chen’an: “Then what was it that I saw at that time?”
Lan Xu: “An illusion.”
“… “Chu Chen’an sized him up. “Why did you do that?”
Lan Xu said, “It was the only way you could come to me.”
“What are you saying… you actually knew I was Chen An, right?!” Chu Chen’an finally said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time.
Lan Xu laughed and raised his hand to rub Chu Chen’an’s anxiously reddened little face. “Yes, our An An is so smart.”
“I know you care about my brother.” Lan Xu said, “Although I don’t want to act in such a manner, but there’s no way… I want you.”
“You… you like me?” Chu Chen’an’s hair was fuzzy, his mind couldn’t keep up, and his face was red and hot.
“Yes, I like you a lot.” Lan Xu nodded, staring straight at Chu Chen’an. “You finally realised it, An An.”
“But,” Chu Chen’an blushed and mumbled in confusion, “it’s not like I knew you before.”
Lan Xu whispered, “I knew you a long time ago, no later than my brother.”
Chu Chen’an frowned, his face gradually reddened, exhaling dense hot air. He didn’t hear the last words that Lan Xu said; he felt that a certain place suddenly began to dry up and subconsciously went closer to Lan Xu.
“What’s wrong?”
Lan Xu touched Chu Chen’an’s face, realising that something was wrong. His face showed concern. He looked at the red fruit not far away, held Chu Chen’an’s back, and asked, “Did you eat that fruit? Idiot!”
“Uh-huh.” Chu Chen’an lowered his beautiful eyes and stretched out two fingers to gesture ignorantly. “Two.”
“And you ate two?” Lan Xu frowned slightly.
Chu Chen’an felt uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to rub his nose against Lan Xu’s, his lips pressed against Lan Xu’s lips, and his pink tongue licked Lan Xu’s thin lips, tempting him like a kitten.
Lan Xu froze; he took Chu Chen’an’s back and held back, “Chen’an…”
“It’s hard.” Chu Chen’an said aggressively and gently kissed the knot of Lan Xu’s throat; his eyes were like silk, making Lan Xu unable to refuse.
Lan Xu rubbed his lips. “Do you know who I am?”
Chu Chen’an nodded his head, cat-like, “Uh-huh.”
Lan Xu was wrapped in his hand and held back, saying in a low voice, “Then you have to be responsible for me.”
“Okay.” Chu Chen’an responded.
Lan Xu pinched his chin, “No backing out.”
Chu Chen’an was sweating from the heat and whispered, “No regrets.”
After he finished, Lan Xu couldn’t wait to hug him.
Soon, he was carried back home.
He was thrown on the bed; kisses followed, and although his forehead was burning, he was conscious.
He and Lan Xu had their fingers interlocked and their lips locked.
……
Sweet sounding sobs came from the room door and didn’t stop for a long time.
Love itttt😍😍😍
