Yu Lan was led into a room at the end of the corridor, and the man pressed him against the wall, kissing him fiercely.
The strong scent of wood and sweet and fruity grapes intertwined. Yu Lan was then lifted and placed on the bed.
Yu Lan felt like he was floating on a cloud, surrounded by the wind that enveloped and pressed against him. The air was filled with Mr. Shao’s presence.
After a while, the man finally pulled away, and both of them were breathing heavily.
Yu Lan’s eyes glistened with tears. When the man straightened his body, he subconsciously followed, his voice hoarse, “Mr. Shao……”
The man paused, his voice similarly low and hoarse as he chuckled, “No more kissing, another kiss might get us into trouble.”
Yu Lan hesitated for a moment. Blushing, he leaned over and kissed the man’s lips again, making a soft “muah” sound.
Shao Mingyu stiffened.
After coming to his senses, he stared deeply into Yu Lan’s eyes
Another kiss might get us into trouble.
But this little guy unexpectedly still wanted to tease him again.
What did this mean?
Yu Lan averted his eyes, blushing to the extreme.
Yet he still held onto the man’s clothing and whispered, “Mr. Shao……m-mark me.”
Shao Mingyu’s breath hitched, his body suddenly tensing up.
Seeing the man still silent, Yu Lan pursed his lips and gathered courage to say, “I-I want to be your omega.”
After a brief moment, The man brushed his fingers over his cheek, caressing it.
Yu Lan’s heart raced with a “thump, thump.”
He cautiously shifted his gaze back, locking eyes with the man——in that instant, Yu Lan trembled.
The man’s gaze was profound; and with just one glance, Yu Lan’s spine tingled.
Shao Mingyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, as he breathed slowly, exerting effort to suppress certain desires deep inside him, before he chuckled softly.
“Mr. Shao……”
Yu Lan was surprised to find that at this very moment, he wasn’t as nervous and uneasy as he had imagined. He had already done his preparation, and in the waiting process, his heart was filled more with cautious anticipation and sweetness that arose from the presence of the man.
He loves Mr. Shao, and although being intimate with him in that way would make him quite shy, it would surely bring him a lot of happiness as well.
Yu Lan blinked, gazing softly at the man.
“Ah Lan……Ah Lan……” the man mumbled his name, laughing as he lowered his head, touching foreheads with him.
Yu Lan swallowed hard, his face red and heart pounding. He reached out his arm to climb onto the man’s back. However, the next moment, he heard the man say, “Next time, I don’t have protection at home right now.”
Yu Lan, “……”
He became stiff.
Shao Mingyu naturally noticed it and laughed even harder.
Yu Lan’s face turned beet red, and he exclaimed in annoyance, “Mr. Shao!!”
“I didn’t expect Little Grape to be so prepared.” he teased.
“For the first time, Yu Lan retorted with a huff, “I was even prepared to be Mr. Shao’s ‘wife’!!”
Shao Mingyu laughed so hard, his shoulders shaking.
Yu Lan, infuriated, rolled over and crawled forward, attempting to escape. However, he was quickly caught by the man around the waist.
That slender waist, easily gripped by the man, was pulled back with a simple tug, bringing the person back.
Yu Lan struggled in anger but was soon overpowered. The man lay behind him, gently planting kisses on the back of his neck.
With the kisses, Yu Lan calmed down. His ruffled feathers were smoothed out bit by bit by the man’s kisses. It’s just that he still felt a bit wronged. He rarely summoned the courage to make such a bold invitation, and Mr. Shao unexpectedly didn’t accept it!
And he……he even teased him!!
He swore he wouldn’t do it again——
“Little Grape, be good. If we don’t take precautions, you might get pregnant. But you’re still too young. Wait a few more years before bearing tiny grapes.” the man whispered softly in his ear.
Yu Lan, “……”
He kept a straight face, but inside, he couldn’t help but feel a sweet, warm sensation.
Tiny grape……
He and Mr. Shao’s tiny grape!
The man kissed him again and whispered, “As for the rest——” he paused, “Just wait patiently. When Brother Shao is ready, he’ll devour you.”
Yu Lan: “!”
He buried his face in the sheets and let out a soft hum.
……
In the end, Yu Lan naturally stayed in the man’s room.
After both of them had taken showers and laid down, the man hugged Yu Lan from behind. Yu Lan turned the lights off, and muttered softly, “Obviously, Mr. Shao, you acted like you really wanted to mark me earlier, but it turns out you didn’t even prepare properly……”
“Little Grape, if you’re really in such a hurry, I’m not incapable of marking you right now.” Shao Mingyu said slowly.
Yu Lan, “……”
He was merely venting!
Shao Mingyu playfully teased him again and asked, “You’re already prepared to marry me, but you’re still calling me ‘Mr. Shao’?”
“……” Yu Lan whispered, “I can’t just call you ‘Brother Shao’ in front of other people.”
“You can just call me by my name.” Shao Mingyu paused and then chuckled, “Or call me husband.”
The man’s fingers were still lightly teasing his small belly, and Yu Lan grabbed hold of this mischievous hand.
After a moment, he called out in a very soft voice, “Husband.”
Shao Mingyu’s lips curled into a smile.
Clearly, he could have also said “Mingyu” but instead, he chose to call him “husband”.
His Little Grape turned out to be more daring in teasing than he had imagined.
After Yu Lan called him, he also had a soft smile on his face.
Mr. Shao, husband.
He closed his eyes.
That night, he had a dream.
In the dream, in a lively amusement park, near a flower bed, one adult and two children sat together, eating ice cream. They were accompanied by two bodyguards, a man and a woman, standing nearby, motionless like statues.
The slightly older boy plucked a blade of grass from the flower bed, started weaving it, and the younger boy curiously approached to watch. He observed as the blade of grass swiftly transformed into a small heart shape in the older boy’s hands.
The younger boy’s eyes widened, and he clapped his hands. “Big brother, you’re so amazing!”
The older boy smiled and offered it to him. “Want it? I’ll give it to you.”
The younger boy immediately nodded and carefully accepted it.
Beside him, a woman smiled and gently stroked his head, “You, this child.”
In the evening, outside the restroom at the amusement park, the younger boy stood there terrified, listening to the noises inside. He wanted to go in, but he was too scared to enter on his own.
He didn’t know what happened to his mother, sweat dripped down his forehead out of worry. His hands clutched the heart-shaped gift nervously. It was also at this moment he heard a voice nearby. Turning his head, he saw a plump woman at the corner of the restroom, waving at him and saying, “Your mom is sick. Come here, you come here. Let Auntie show you how to help your mom.”
The boy hesitated for a moment, then ran over.
Once they reached the corner, the boy looked up with concern. “Auntie, my mom——”
The woman smiled and grabbed him, swiftly injecting a needle into his arm.
The boy soon lost consciousness, his legs going limp, As his hands slackened, the heart-shaped gift fell to the ground.
After being trampled under the woman’s shoe, it sank into the ground.
……
When Shao Mingyu woke up, it wasn’t late, but the person beside him was already gone
He pondered for a moment, then got out of bed, freshened up, and went downstairs but still didn’t see anyone. He then left the villa, walked to the back, and arrived in front of the storage room.
The door to the storage room was open, and inside, there were various items piled up. The youth sat cross-legged on the ground, taking out items one by one.
With each item he took out, he would wipe it clean with a cloth, examining it for a long time, as if reminiscing about something.
Once he finished reminiscing, he carefully set the item aside.
In the past few days, whenever he had free time, the youth would spend his time doing this.
When Shao Mingyu approached him, the youth was looking at a photo.
It was a photo of him, his mother, and Shao Mingyu.
The photo was taken sixteen years ago in the summer. After they had finished their last game, the young boy had dragged Shao Mingyu to take a photo.
In the photo, Shao Mingyu had a faint smile on his face, the young boy raised the corner of his lips, and the woman was smiling tenderly.
“This photo was still actually kept here.” The youth murmured.
Shao Mingyu crouched down and asked, “Does this bring back memories too?”
“Yes.” Yu Lan touched the photo, gazing at it for a while. Suddenly, he turned his head and said, “Mr. Shao, can you weave another heart for me?”
Shao Mingyu was slightly stunned.
“The one you gave me back then, I lost it.” Yu Lan explained.
Shao Mingyu gazed at the youth in front of him and gently said, “Sure.”
……
A week later, Lu Zhengzheng arrived at the villa with his assistants and equipment.
——The photo shoot he had arranged with Yu Lan was ultimately scheduled to take place in the villa.
This was also decided by Shao Mingyu after he heard about Yu Lan’s idea.
It was the first time Lu Zhengzheng learned that Yu Lan was living here, and it was also the first time he discovered the profound relationship between Yu Lan and the big boss of the Xingyu Group, Shao Mingyu, which left him quite shocked. Throughout the process of entering the villa, he carefully observed the surrounding scenery, feeling like he was constantly broadening his horizons.
When he finally saw Yu Lan, he found himself standing next to the big boss he had only seen on television and magazines.
Lu Zhengzheng awkwardly said, “C-CEO Shao, hello.1(您好) -nín hǎo – hello (polite)”
Noticing Lu Zhengzheng being reserved, Yu Lan immediately sent Mr. Shao away. Shao Mingyu glanced at him——this child was indeed becoming bolder in his presence, but he enjoyed spoiling him like this.
He smiled and returned to his room to attend to his business.
Finally, only Yu Lan remained. Lu Zhengzheng sighed in relief and muttered to himself, “No wonder! I was wondering how Fang Pingping suddenly became so rich. So, that’s how it is, I see, I see!”
Yu Lan chuckled.
The two promptly began to work.
Yu Lan’s idea for this photo shoot had originated from the online debate that took place in the middle of the night.
The public’s perception of the Silver Moon Clan was deeply ingrained, and a significant portion of the clan’s members were also bystanders, observing with indifference.
So, how should those from the Silver Moon Clan, who work hard every day for a better future do to navigate their lives?
Yu Lan vaguely remembered his mother telling him, “The red-light district is like a web; it seems difficult to escape, but many people still manage to leave. Family and friends mocked and ridiculed them, yet no matter what, they still wanted to give it a shot.” His mother lowered her head and smiled at him, saying, “They all want to give it a shot, to carve out a place for themselves in the outside world. I am also one of them. Unfortunately, many people have failed, and I……also failed.”
However, did they really fail?
For Yu Lan, no, they did not.
Once the formal photo shoot began, Lu Zhengzheng’s heart was once again shocked, but this time the shock came from the youth.
Within a short period of time, it seemed that the youth had undergone quite a few changes.
During their first shoot, he still needed guidance from Lu Zhengzheng to capture the light in his eyes.
But at this very moment, the youth was radiating light from head to toe.
He was resilient and graceful. A simple pose could captivate everyone’s attention.
Lu Zhengzheng calmed down. Perhaps Fang Pingping was right; this youth had the potential to become a legend.
……
After the shoot, Lu Zhengzheng went back to work on editing the photos. The next day, Yu Lan was picked up by Fang Pingping again and had another set of photos taken at You Qing’s place.
That evening, Lu Zhengzheng sent the edited photos to Yu Lan.
Yu Lan directly posted it on the Star Network, without any text, just a single photo.
Actually, the debate about Yu Lan and the Silver Moon Clan continued until two or three days ago, when another piece of gossip emerged, bringing it to an end.
Yu Lan had a relatively small number of fans, and few friends in the industry. Therefore, throughout most of the online debate, the black fans had the upper hand, which made them feel quite pleased with themselves.
However, just when they thought they had won, without warning, Yu Lan’s photo showed up.
In the photo, the youth was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans. A blue ribbon was tied around his wrist fluttering as he walked through the woods. The sunlight cast a glow behind him, with grass and trees lining the sides as if nature itself seemed to make way for him.
He gazed straight ahead with a calm expression.
The ribbon on his wrist fluttered freely in the wind.
After the photo was released, everyone was stunned.
No one could mistake it for a casually captured moment of everyday life——this was prepared, a professional shot, a freelance work.
That had a message behind it.
“What does this mean?”
“He’s wearing a ribbon? Taking photos publicly to show ‘business’?”
“What new model? Really he’s just another male prostitute.”
“Still mocking Yu Lan for wearing a ribbon because you think it signifies ‘business’? Do you all lack brains? I suggest you guys search for the real meaning behind the Silver Moon Clan’s ribbon before you start talking!”
“Fuck, so beautiful, lick.”
“I volunteer!”
“It feels like this might be a response to what happened a few days ago……suddenly, I feel like he’s quite bold……”
The meaning behind this photo unexpectedly became the focus of many people’s debate.
The black fans continued to focus on a particular point——what the ribbon symbolized. They believed that Yu Lan had posted this photo to whitewash2(洗白) – xǐ bái – (figurative, slang) to establish one’s righteousness, innocence, power, etc. and free oneself from a previous negative impression the Silver Moon Clan’s image, emphasizing that even though they wore ribbons and sold themselves, they were still good boys and girls who were forced into this life due to circumstances!
Fans were getting angry and engaged in heated debates, while the black fans were happily grinning.
But at this moment, someone noticed that the CEO of Xingyu Group, Shao Mingyu, had some activity in his account in Star Network.
This account in Star Network had tens of millions of followers, however, it hasn’t posted anything for half a year. Now that there was some activity, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
And what Shao Mingyu posted was also a photo.
In the photo, two hands were clasped together, with fingers intertwined.
One of the hands was fair and delicate, with a blue ribbon tied around the wrist——if it wasn’t the same ribbon that was in Yu Lan’s photo then what else could it be!!
The color of the ribbon, the way it’s tied, and even the hand itself, everything was exactly the same!
The black fans, who were dancing around, collectively froze in place.
The melon-eating passersby were also shocked.
Shao Mingyu?!
Shao. Ming. Yu?!
The author has something to say:
That……well, this story is already coming to a close. Mr. Shao is really, truly, very soon going to eat his Little Grape. _(:з」∠)_
