After Wen Jueli briefly brought Yan Qing on their little trip to Porsay, Yan Qing felt happy enough. Even though they might face the wrath of the entire production team when they go back. As long as he hides behind Wen Jueli, it’s fine. However, their escape plan didn’t disrupt the production schedule. Wen Jueli informed the director before leaving, and even though he later muted his phone to enjoy quiet time with Yan Qing, the director couldn’t reach him.
Honestly, Yan Qing thinks what they did was a bit unethical, but he kind of likes it.
After returning from their little trip, Yan Qing discovered that Wen Jueli had already posted a photo of them on Weibo, taken by Wen Jueli himself at the beach.
In the photo, Yan Qing has a happy smile on his face, and Wen Jueli’s mouth is turned upward, with a tranquil sea as the backdrop.
The most intriguing part is the caption – [Very beautiful. [Image]]
Fans speculated whether it referred to the people or the scenery, sparking an online debate.
[Stop guessing. Even if Mr. Wen and Lin Xu were together before, he’s married to Yan Qing now!]
[I feel like Lin Xu has ulterior motives, always subtly cueing Wen Jueli, knowing he’s married.]
[No idea where these rumors come from.]
[Any fans shipping the couple, stay out of this.’]
[Hehehe, these two are a perfect match. Even though they ran away this morning, forgiven for the beautiful photo!]
Having marketed a previous relationship online, rumors circulated that Wen Jueli and Lin Xu were exes, and their relationship with Yan Qing on the show was just for show. So, when they landed, facing fans and journalists’ barrage of questions, Wen Jueli naturally reached for Yan Qing’s hand, wanting to clarify the absurd rumors. Instead, Yan Qing held onto his hand, stood in front of the cameras, and said, “No, he never had an ex because I’m his first love.”
Like a sudden thunderclap, everyone was shocked. The charismatic actor not only looks good and acts well but is also so devoted?! Cameras clicked away, trying to get more exclusive news.
Yan Qing had the courage to say those words, but facing the chaotic airport, especially with people crowding around, it felt different from his star-studded student days. A large hand then wrapped around his waist – Wen Jueli shielding him, creating distance from fans and reporters until they left the airport.
In the private underground parking lot, Yan Qing saw Kan Hai waiting beside a new and luxurious car, next to another car that seemed to belong to Wen Jueli. He suddenly burst into laughter.
Wen Jueli puzzled, “What’s so funny?”
Yan Qing looked up and said, “Just realized I haven’t really ridden in your car much.”
Wen Jueli: ‘Well, you can now.’
Yan Qing crossed his arms, pretending to be profound, “No need for that now. I didn’t ride much before, how dare I now.”
Yan Qing was subtly teasing Wen Jueli about how he used to be clueless and not treat him well, but now it’s different – he’s chasing after his husband with determination!
Without saying much more, Yan Qing greeted Kan Hai and slipped into the car. He mainly wanted to see the new car rumored to be bought with his appearance fees. However, as soon as he fastened his seatbelt, Wen Jueli joined him, sitting next to him.
With an air of ‘wherever my husband goes, I go,’ Wen Jueli looked like a rogue. Yet, his cool and reserved demeanor made Yan Qing find him adorable.
During the ride, Kan Hai remained observant and didn’t say much, giving the two in the back some private space.
Wen Jueli, still holding Yan Qing’s hand, asked, “Yan Qing, by the way… why did you say that at the airport?”
Yan Qing: “Which part?”
Wen Jueli blushed slightly, “I’ve liked you for five years.”
Seeing his earnest yet shy expression, Yan Qing realized he had been too direct. You can’t just expose someone’s five-year-long crush like that; it’s embarrassing.
Yan Qing showed a considerate and understanding attitude, “It’s okay, I actually knew. You’ve really endured a lot these past five years… You should’ve bravely expressed your love. If I hadn’t taken the initiative, you might have missed me forever!”
Wen Jueli lowered his eyelashes, realizing that without this opportunity, they might have drifted into near-strangers or even divorced…
Wen Jueli, known for his cool aura in the entertainment industry, often received praise for his temperament. Few noticed the delicacy and symmetry of his facial features, especially his deep, long eyes with a hue like sunlight reflecting on snowwater, hidden beneath his moon-like long eyelashes.
Staring at his profile, Yan Qing couldn’t deny feeling a flutter. He was already a member of the looks association.
Annoyed yet amused, Yan Qing said, “Why are you so dense? In a relationship, both parties need to invest. The other can’t always stay in the comfort zone; otherwise, it becomes exhausting.”
Wen Jueli humbly asked, “For example?”
Then, Yan Qing sat up straight, impulsively kissed Wen Jueli’s lips, and said nothing more.
Like this.
After the kiss, Yan Qing was so embarrassed he trembled, unable to articulate. A stunned silence filled the car, with only their intertwined hands breaking it.
After the backseat fell silent, Kan Hai really wanted to draw the curtain and look back, but he resisted the urge.
Yan Qing, back home, felt a bit dizzy.
Just a kiss, what’s the big deal? But still… his heart was beating so fast. Even though it was just a few short seconds, he could still see the reflection of his own face in Wen Jueli’s eyes.
This feeling was completely different from anything he had done before.
Feeling too shy, Yan Qing fled home and went to sleep.
It was only the next day that he found out Wen Jueli’s studio had once again clarified the rumors and issued a warning to Lin Xu.
Being the favored one felt quite nice.
Yan Qing remembered the awkward and nervous feelings from yesterday, but now he was no longer shy. Early in the morning, he smelled the aroma of breakfast made by Wen Jueli and headed out, following the scent.
Wen Jueli, unusually silent, just stared at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing sat down, saying, “Don’t act like a waiting stone. It makes it seem like I did something bad to you yesterday…”
Wen Jueli: “N-No, not at all.”
Yan Qing: “Hahaha, why are you stuttering? At this rate, I really want to kiss you again.”
“…Okay.”
Yan Qing was stunned.
Did Wen Jueli just really say that?!
He thought innocent little Wen wouldn’t dare.
Yan Qing said, “Well, you said it.”
Actually, he had wanted to kiss Wen Jueli for a long time. After all, who wouldn’t like a handsome guy?
Yesterday, Yan Qing managed to surprise him with a sudden kiss in the car, but this time, there was a ten-centimeter difference, and he didn’t want to tiptoe.
So, Yan Qing pumped himself up, reached out, encircled Wen Jueli’s neck, made him lower his head, and kissed him again.
This kiss was not as brief as the last one; it was like a gentle exploration, like a newborn creature trying things out softly.
Wen Jueli initially stiffened, motionless as Yan Qing teased him. Gradually, as the kiss deepened, he learned to encircle Yan Qing’s waist, actively kissing the person he loved.
For a moment, two gentle and cool breaths blended.
The embrace around Wen Jueli’s arms tightened.
After it ended, the one who initiated it, Yan Qing, was left with weak legs and a soft waist from the kiss. He couldn’t help but touch Wen Jueli’s face, praising, “Husband, you’re really handsome.”
He had indeed found himself a treasure. Hehehe.
Because the month-long program had just ended, there was a pile of work waiting at the company. After breakfast, Wen Jueli dropped Yan Qing off at the office and then returned to his own studio.
Initially, Yan Qing was in a good mood after the breakfast kiss, but when he saw the stack of contracts on his desk, his smile faded.
…Nobody told me being an actor involved dealing with so much paperwork!
In the evening, after finally resolving all the work, Yan Qing eagerly went home and straight to Wen Jueli’s room, wanting to sleep together.
Wen Jueli subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sorry about yesterday. I was too shy to come to you for sleep.” Yan Qing hugged a pillow and sought refuge, “We’re already an old couple; it’s not appropriate to sleep separately. By the way, did you buy the incense?”
Wen Jueli slowly shifted his gaze, placed something under the desk without a word, and said, “No, not yet.”
“…You didn’t come to me yesterday. I actually didn’t rest well.”
Yan Qing hesitated, “Really?”
“Then, tonight, I’ll definitely sleep hugging you. Don’t worry!”
“Mmm.”
Wen Jueli’s room was filled with his scent, and Yan Qing felt an unusual sense of relaxation. As soon as he got into bed, he approached Wen Jueli like a little puppy.
Suddenly, Wen Jueli asked, “Yan Qing, have you ever kissed someone before?”
Yan Qing looked up, “No.”
Wen Jueli: “Then why do you kiss so skillfully…”
Yan Qing: “Really? Hehe, then consider it a gift.”
He tilted his head and kissed Wen Jueli’s jaw, saying, “Because I’m good at academics. I’ve watched some TV dramas, and I can imitate them well.”
“Alright, alright, let’s sleep.”
The room plunged into darkness.
After a while.
Yan Qing suddenly got passionate, “Husband, are you so innocent that you’ve never even watched adult films?”
Yan Qing: “Husband?””
Yan Qing: “Husband?”
Wen Jueli: “Sleep.”
TL’s Note: Yan Qing is so straightforward haha Lol.
