Wen Zicheng’s wedding didn’t officially begin until evening, but the daytime schedule was also very tight with little time for rest.
Yu Lan accompanied him the whole day, and was even recognized by several people and took several photos together, making it quite lively.
It was Yu Lan’s first time attending a wedding, and he was full of interest and curiosity about everything. Wen Zicheng laughed and said he was like a child.
After learning about his relationship with Mr. Shao, Wen Zicheng raised his eyebrows and teased, “Since you and Mr. Shao are already together, how about trying out some of my adult teaching videos…”
“N-no need!” Yu Lan blushed and replied.
How, how could that happen so quickly…
“No need? You’re too naive!” Wen Zicheng snorted. “I bet Mr. Shao won’t be able to resist for long. Do you want me to send you a few videos to watch first?”
Yu Lan pretended not to hear him and fled.
“Hey!” Wen Zicheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
In the evening, the wedding officially began outdoors, specifically on a lawn.
As the couple exchanged vows, an aircraft passed overhead.
The man sat in the back seat, gazing at the youth surrounded in the center below, his gaze deepened.
“So, CEO Shao, about the meeting the day after tomorrow——” As Lin Yu was reporting the schedule for the next few days.
The man suddenly interrupted him saying, “Move the meeting to tomorrow. You and I will go to the new project base the day after tomorrow, and after we finish there, I’ll give you two days off.”
Lin Yu froze for a moment. The new project base in the Third Class Star? Was there anything interesting there…
Lin Yu’s eyes darted around. Could it have something to do with the little omega?
And the man’s gaze swept over the youth and the people next to him, before withdrawing without a sound.
The aircraft pierced through the clouds, while below, Wen Zicheng stood with his back facing the guests and threw the bouquet of flowers.
The bouquet of flowers flew high and then descended, landing firmly in the hands of the utterly baffled youth.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes were on him, and the sound of cheers filled the air.
Yu Lan smiled foolishly, thinking that receiving the bouquet meant that…his own wedding was also coming soon?
After returning home in the evening, he would also show it to Mr. Shao! He thought joyfully.
…….
On the third day after Wen Zicheng’s wedding, Yu Lan prepared to set off for the planet where the “Yuan” spring-summer fashion show was going to take place.
When Yu Lan learned that Mr. Shao would be going with him, he was pleasantly surprised.
The man said in a casual tone, “There’s a project base we need to inspect in that area.” His gaze shifted and he continued, “After we’re done there, shall we go out and play a little?”
“Sure!” Yu Lan’s eyes lit up.
Finally, Mr. Shao had the time to take him out and have some fun.
Moreover, since it was his first time embarking on a journey without Mr. Shao, he felt a mixture of nervousness and melancholy. But now at this very moment when he learned they were going together, he was so happy that he was practically skipping.
Seeing him so excited, Shao Mingyu smiled.
With this arrangement, Yu Lan directly boarded the man’s spacecraft, and Fang Pingping was also taken along.
The planet Yu Lan was heading to was in a Level 3 Star Domain, and its level of development naturally couldn’t compare to the Level 1 Star Domain planet where he currently resided.
However, different planets have different characteristics. In recent years, that particular planet has been selected several times as the venue for fashion shows, which has subsequently contributed to the growth of the local tourism industry.
“By the way, there’s a whole planet nearby that’s home to the largest red light district in the entire Federation.” Fang Pingping rubbed his hands together and said, “It’s also a famous tourist attraction. Ah Lan, have you ever been there——before?”
The man on the opposite side glanced over.
Fang Pingping’s brain sobered up, and he immediately fell silent.
Yu Lan was momentarily stunned.
Amid the eerie silence, Fang Pingping left the room in a hurry. The man seated across from Yu Lan remained quiet for a moment before saying, “That Level 3 Star Domain is a gathering place for the Silver Moon Clan. Half of the population on the planet where you are going to watch the fashion show are Silver Moon Clan members.” Pausing briefly, Shao Mingyu looked at him and emphasized, “Don’t go to the red light district.”
Yu Lan was stunned for a moment before smiling.
“En, I won’t go there,” he obediently replied. After that, he casually asked, “Mr. Shao, have you been to the red light district?”
Shao Mingyu’s expression was subtle.
Yu Lan was just casually asking, but he didn’t expect such a reaction from the man. His face also froze for a moment upon seeing the subtle change in the man’s expression.
“Mr., Mr.Shao, have you been there?”
Upon seeing the expression on the youth’s face, Shao Mingyu knew that he had misunderstood. He sighed helplessly and said, “Yes, I’ve been there before, but I didn’t do anything. Don’t get any wrong ideas.”
“……” Yu Lan felt depressed and asked, “Then what did you go there for?”
Mr. Shao didn’t allow him to go to the red light district, but he actually had gone there himself!
Yu Lan’s heart felt extremely depressed.
Seeing the youth’s unhappy expression, Shao Mingyu found it amusing. He looked at the youth for a while, then lowered his eyes and said, “I went there to find someone.”
To find someone?
Yu Lan was surprised.
However, the conversation didn’t continue on this topic because the man soon received a phone call and started talking about business, so Yu Lan kept his doubts to himself.
But for the first time, he began to worry.
Should he listen to the store manager’s advice…and learn some things in advance?
Thinking of the compressed file that the store manager had sent to his phone, Yu Lan quietly began to have such thoughts.
After arriving at their destination, Shao Mingyu first dropped off Yu Lan and then went with Lin Yu to the nearby project base. They wouldn’t be able to come back until three hours later.
“But in three hours, the fashion show will start.” Yu Lan quickly said.
“It’s fine. You can stick to your schedule, no need to worry about me.” said Shao Mingyu calmly.
Hearing this, Yu Lan nodded his head obediently.
“When the spacecraft took off, Fang Pingping asked, “Do you want to go for a walk around first?”
Yu Lan said, “Sure.”
He had been imprisoned for so long and had never seen the outside world. Now that he was free, he naturally wanted to see more.
As Fang Pingping had said, one could immediately see the difference between this planet and a Level 1 Star Domain planet.
There were no tall buildings, and holographic advertising screens that pop up at any time on the road.
This was an extremely ordinary planet, even somewhat impoverished.
Presumably, although the economy had been stimulated, it would still take some time to make a significant change.
There were many people near the venue of the fashion show, but once they walked down a small pathway, it became quiet with few people around.
Occasionally, there were elderly people or children sitting at the door of their houses, and they would glance at them as they passed by.
Were they all…members of the Silver Moon Clan? Yu Lan observed and wondered with uncertainty.
After walking for a while, Fang Pingping got thirsty and went to find a vending machine to buy water, while Yu Lan waited for him in the same spot.
All of a sudden, Yu Lan felt a tug on his clothes, and looked down to see a child.
Everyone’s gender was determined at birth, and they begin to release pheromones between the ages of three and six.
The child in front of him was an omega, and his pheromones smelled like flowers.
He tilted his head back to look up at him and stretched out a hand, holding a light blue ribbon in his hand
Yu Lan hesitated and asked, “……For me?”
The child nodded, stared at him and said, “You have to wear it.”
As Yu Lan looked around, he discovered that there were indeed many people, young and old, wearing ribbons on their wrists.
“Are you…all members of the Silver Moon Clan?” he asked with uncertainty.
“En, all members of the Silver Moon Clan have to wear it. Since you’re not wearing one, I’ll give you mine. I have more at home.” The child said, and proceeded to pull on Yu Lan’s hand, tying the ribbon on his wrist.
Yu Lan didn’t stop him. He crouched down and asked gently, “What does this mean?”
“You are also from the Silver Moon Clan, right? Don’t you know?” The child exclaimed in surprise and continued, “Wear this, and give it to your lover in the future.”
After tying the ribbon, the child took a step back to look at Yu Lan and said with a smile, “You’re really handsome.” With that, the child turned and ran away.
The ribbon was tied into a bow on Yu Lan’s wrist, and gently swayed with the wind.
At that moment, Fang Pingping returned with the water and almost spat it out when he saw the ribbon on Yu Lan’s wrist. He asked in a tangled manner, “How did you end up wearing this?”
“A child gave it to me.” Yu Lan stood up and honestly replied.
“You…ai, don’t wear it. Take it off, okay?” Fang Pingping lowered his voice and said, “There aren’t many Silver Moon Clan members who wear this anymore. I think it’s only in this area where the Silver Moon Clan still practices this custom. However, this was originally used by the Silver Moon Clan to attract customers. Wearing this signifies ‘business’1 it means engaging in sex trade stuff, so don’t wear it. It wouldn’t be good if reporters took photos of it! Although you’re just starting out and not that famous yet, you never know…better safe than sorry.”
As Fang Pingping rambled on and on. Yu Lan was initially taken aback, however, he couldn’t help but recall the earnest child who had carefully tied the ribbon on him earlier. As such his mood became somewhat complex.
Even as the fashion show was about to begin and Yu Lan entered the venue and took his seat, he was still thinking about it.
Unable to resist, he looked it up on the Internet and after doing so, his mood became even more peculiar.
As the start of the fashion show drew closer, the seats in the venue began to gradually fill up.
Yu Lan was absent-minded. At a certain moment, someone sat down beside him, causing a lot of eyes to suddenly gather around them.
The familiar woody pheromones drifted over to him, causing Yu Lan to subconsciously turn his head, surprised, and exclaimed, “Mr. Shao!”
A hint of a smile played at the corners of the man’s mouth.
Some of the people sitting near them started to become faintly restless.
Shao Mingyu unexpectedly showed up in this kind of place? This is the first, right? What’s going on? Did he have his eyes on a particular model?
While they were all having different thoughts, the man reached out and straightened the collar of the youth next to him——This was the formal suit that Yu Lan changed into after returning to the hotel, which was also bought for him by Shao Mingyu.
Worn by the youth, he looked charming, tall, and full of vitality.
Upon catching a glimpse of this movement, the expressions of many people changed.
“Mr. Shao, why are you here?” Yu Lan was baffled.
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Don’t you get it yet, Little Grape?”
Yu Lan remained puzzled for a moment, then began to grasp the situation.
He said that he came along because he had to go to the project base for an inspection.
But the project base inspection didn’t even take less than three hours, and he quietly came to the fashion show venue, sitting right next to him.
After today’s show, he even said he wanted to take him out to play for two days.
Yu Lan pursed his lips, smiled and whispered, “Mr. Shao, do you just want to follow me?”
The man also hooked his lips and whispered, “Ah Lan, I also have a sense of crisis.”
The little guy was getting more and more energetic, beautiful, and attractive. Just by attending a wedding, he had so many people flocking around him.
He wasn’t willing to let such a little guy travel alone.
Yu Lan’s face turned red. He never thought that this man would value him to such an extent.
He had always thought that he was the only one who wanted to follow the man step by step, never wanting to be separated even for a moment. He didn’t expect that the man also felt the same way.
At this moment, it was hard to describe the feeling in Yu Lan’s heart.
It was noisy around them, but there was a subtle atmosphere flowing between the two of them.
Yu Lan once again remembered what he had seen on the Internet just now.
He smiled and raised the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the light blue ribbon still tied there——Perhaps it was because of the innocent look in that child’s eyes, even after Fang Pingping’s warning, Yu Lan didn’t take off the ribbon.
He completely believed that when the child tied the ribbon to his wrist, there was no malice, only blessings.
And his intuition was right.
He extended his hand with the ribbon towards the man.
A few people around him with sharp-eyes noticed his action but due to the lighting and angle, they couldn’t see the ribbon on his wrist clearly, so they looked at him with an inquisitive expression
Upon seeing it, Shao Mingyu became startled.
Yu Lan looked at him and whispered, “Mr. Shao.”
Regardless of how the Silver Moon Clan has developed to this point, regardless of how many of them still wear this ribbon today, the original meaning behind this ribbon represents the purest, most sincere, and most passionate love at its core.
For the original Silver Moon Clan, offering this hand didn’t mean “You can buy my body”, but “I love you”.
Shao Mingyu looked at him intently.
Under the ambiguous gazes on both sides, the man reached out and took a hold of his wrist.
Yu Lan smiled. He knew that this man understood everything. When his understanding of the Silver Moon Clan had reached a dead end, it was also this man who saved him and brought him back.
Shao Mingyu held the youth’s wrist tightly and smiled as he whispered, “I accept.”
……
The show was a huge success.
When You Qing walked hand in hand with the opening model, they received applause from the entire audience.
After the fashion show ended, Yu Lan and Shao Mingyu went backstage to meet You Qing.
Seeing the two who came together, You Qing finally understood why the alpha, who always seemed indifferent, would come to watch the show.
He nodded at the two of them and then smiled at Yu Lan, saying, “I look forward to your performance in the next show.”
Yu Lan also sincerely replied, “Thank you, Mr. You.”
It was people like Fang Pingping, Lu Zhengzheng, the editor-in-chief of “V” magazine, and You Qing who saw him from the crowd and gave him opportunities time and time again.
Yu Lan was truly grateful in his heart.
After the fashion show, Fang Pingping stayed behind to discuss working together with You Qing, while Yu Lan and Shao Mingyu rested for the night. The next day, they were sent by Lin Yu to their next destination——a vacation planet.
And Mr. Shao had a private beach on this planet!
Yu Lan was stunned!
Arriving before them were Chi Yan, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, and some friends he brought along——after all, playing at the beach wouldn’t be as lively with only the two of them.
Of course, the sole cabin there was for the two of them to live in.
Yu Lan, being led by the man hand in hand, walked briskly through the sandy beach, and excitedly arrived at the cozy-looking wooden cabin.
The man suddenly stopped and smiled meaningfully. “Little Grape, there’s something I need to tell you in advance.”
“What?” Yu Lan innocently raised his face and asked.
The man slowly said, “This cabin only has one bedroom.”
Yu Lan, “……!”
Shao Mingyu chuckled and said, “You don’t mind, do you?”
Yu Lan blushed and lowered his head, behaving coyly for a moment, before whispering, “…Well, it’s not like it’s the first time ah.”
“En, that’s also true, and besides, you also gave me the ribbon.” The man teased, lightly tracing the inside of Yu Lan’s wrist with his fingertips.
Yu Lan trembled and his ears turned red. N-No, he seemed different from his usual self……
He swallowed nervously, sensing that Mr. Shao’s demeanor seemed to have changed…
