DCFRP Chapter 86

Qi Xiaoyu smiled, “Then wait for me a little longer.”

Xun Qian agreed, stood up, and walked to the window.

He leaned against the window, crossed his long legs, and looked up at the moon.

The moon was shining brightly, and the stars flowed westward.

He touched his pocket, intending to smoke a cigarette.

But what he found was only a few candies.

He lowered his head, thought about it, and then smiled, deciding to eat the candies.

Qi Xiaoyu seemed to like the taste of candies more.

He peeled off the candy wrapping, put it into his mouth, and slowly stirred it, feeling the milk flavor dissolve between his lips and teeth.

****

After Qi Xiaoyu hung up the phone, he turned on the hair dryer and slowly blew his hair.

His hair was short, and blow drying it wouldn’t take much time, so he adjusted the setting to the lowest.

While he slowly felt the warm air blowing through his hair, he closed his eyes and thought about something.

This thought included the past and the future.

In the past, there was the opera troupe, his master, his senior sister, and a group of fellow apprentices. That was a past that could never be recalled. Even if he hadn’t traveled to this world, the troupe would have disbanded in the past turbulent times.

He looked back and saw a silent darkness.

He had nowhere to go, so he could only think of his way back.

Fortunately, the road back is no longer lonely.

He pushed the hair dryer to the next setting and increased the airflow to dry the last bit of the moisture from his hair, then changed his bathrobe into pajamas and prepared to go upstairs to find Xun Qian.

Before he went out, he received a call from Yu Xiaosheng.

Earlier, when he and Xun Qian were enjoying the moon on the lawn, he had sent greeting messages to the people in the company and to his colleagues and friends at work, and also sent out a wave of red envelopes in the company group.

It was past ten o’clock now, so he didn’t know why Yu Xiaosheng called him again.

Something probably came up.

He answered the phone, and You Xiaosheng’s somewhat teasing and eager voice came from the other end: “Xiaoyu, have something good going on lately?””

His tone seemed normal, so it’s probably nothing major. Qi Xiaoyu replied, “Why do you say that?”

Yu Xiaosheng deliberately beat around the bush and kept the question a secret: “Have you ever heard of a saying? It’s that people who don’t like to go online do so because the person they like is around. Where are you tonight?”

Qi Xiaoyu thought that according to the current development, he and Xun Qian’s relationship would have to be told to people around him sooner or later, so he roughly said, “At a friend’s house.”

Yu Xiaosheng chuckled twice. “Which friend?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

Yu Xiaosheng chuckled and then asked, “What is your relationship with Third Master Xun?”

Qi Xiaoyu also laughed, “Is there anyone on the Internet spreading the story between me and him? What did they say?”

“Haha, you’re really smart,” Yu Xiaosheng smacked his lips. “It’s a long story. Let me simplify it. At the beginning, someone broke the news that you and Third Master Xun had an improper relationship, saying that you were picked up by a luxury car every day on the set and that you hooked up with the wealthy and so on, but no one believed it. There were too many people spreading this kind of thing before; as you know, several of them appeared every day. Some even said you were just hyping up yourself.”

Qi Xiaoyu stood at the door with his hand on the door handle. “Well, what happened later?”

“Later, more and more news broke, saying that you and Third Master Xun had no improper relationship, but a very legitimate one. With my many years of experience, these things would not come out of thin air… The marketing accounts did things very cleanly. Someone must have deliberately bought them and set you up.”

Yu Xiaosheng’s words were very logical. Qi Xiaoyu responded to show that he was listening.

“Look at the extent of your relationship with Third Master Xun, and we’ll see how this matter is going to be handled. The other party is quite powerful this time, and the marketing accounts they hired are all big names, so we have to be careful.”

Qi Xiaoyu said, “Hmm,” after a moment, “Leave it alone for now and don’t worry about it. I’ll take a look at this later.”

Yu Xiaosheng hesitated, “This is somewhat urgent. Although Third Master Xun seemed to have a good impression of you last time, you have to remember what happened to Jiang Jing and take it as a warning.”

Qi Xiaoyu nodded in response and comforted Yu Xiaosheng a few more words before hanging up the phone.

He came out of the room, walked along the corridor to the stairs, and entered his and Xun Qian’s names in the search box. Sure enough, there was a lot of recent news, but there was nothing negative. At least the marketing accounts said that Xun Qian was actively pursuing him.

There were some sarcastic comments saying that Qi Xiaoyu’s new movie was about to be released, and this marketing stunt was to hype up the movie. They also advised him not to hype it too much. If the boat capsized, his fate might be worse than Jiang Jing.

Some fans who have always regarded Qi Xiaoyu as the rival of their idols are even more harsh. “Qi Xiaoyu is way too confident after making two movies. He really thinks he’s something. Does he think everyone wanted to pursue him? Be careful of backlash. His heart is higher than the sky, but his life is thin as paper.”

Some say, “Among so many people in the entertainment industry, only he dares to show off like this. He also actively pursues him. Who wrote this press release? Are they using their brains when writing it?”

His own fans are quite calm, working hard to control comments under each marketing account, humbly expressing that it’s the big boss’s generosity. Their baby is diligently shooting a movie and is happily single. Being pursued by the top wealthiest families are just groundless rumors.

Qi Xiaoyu skimmed through the news, turned off the screen of his mobile phone, and strode towards Xun Qian’s room.

****

The second and third floors of the villa are very tranquil. The distant sounds of nature, like birdsong and dog barks, blend with the sounds of people coming and going, creating a serene atmosphere.

When Qi Xiaoyu entered Xun Qian’s room on the third floor, the other party was sitting in a wheelchair, looking up at the moon in the sky.

The moonlight shone on him, giving him a beauty reminiscent of the moonlit forest.

There was an ashtray next to him, but there was no smell of cigarettes in the room nor cigarette butts in the ashtray.

There was only a faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance from the osmanthus trees blooming in the yard and the fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus wine they had just drunk.

In the ashtray, there were only a few pieces of candy.

Qi Xiaoyu walked to the window and stood in front of him.

He glanced at the moon and said slowly in an affirmative tone, “It seems to be a little brighter here.”

Xun Qian let out a clear laugh.

When he laughed, his black hair fanned out in front of his forehead, stars twinkled under his eyes, and all his features took on a vibrant color.

Qi Xiaoyu’s chest was stifled.

He recalled the cold and arrogant appearance of this person when he first met him.

He also recalled that this person had now gone so far as to post on the internet that he had taken the initiative to pursue him.
He glanced at the ashtray. “Why did you eat so much candy?”

Xun Qian looked up at him and said, “I’ve been waiting for you for too long.”

After taking a shower, Qi Xiaoyu was clean and refreshing, with the scent of osmanthus wine mixed with shower gel. His whole body was naked with temptation.

The two of them had been together day and night during this period, but they had not taken a step further.

Both of them were in their twenties, which was the prime age. They should be brimming with enthusiasm and energy.

Xun Qian stared at Qi Xiaoyu. In his original plan, he should have talked to Qi Xiaoyu before thinking of anything else, but now he was filled with other things.

Xun Qian’s gaze made Qi Xiaoyu feel hot all over.

Xun Qian’s eyes were too beautiful. He came to pick him up in a suit today, and he hadn’t changed his clothes yet but just loosened his tie after returning home.

Qi Xiaoyu suddenly bent down, leaned forward, and then stretched out his hand to hook Xun Qian’s tie forward.

Xun Qian felt that his heart was also pulled by Qi Xiaoyu’s action, flying to the sky.

This is a very provocative move.

But there’s something more in store.

Qi Xiaoyu lowered his head and asked him, “Can I have some as well?”

This time Qi Xiaoyu took the lead, rubbing him with his nose and teasing him with his words and every breath.

Then, Xun Qian’s vision darkened. His eyes were covered with his own tie.

After that, wine-scented lips covered his.

Although it was Qi Xiaoyu who took the initiative to seduce Xun Qian, he was obviously not good at this.

He kissed him gently.

After kissing for less than a minute, his waist was tightly shackled.

Xun Qian didn’t let him retreat at all and pressed him into his arms.

They were so close with no gap in between them, and their clothes were rumpled.

The aroma of wine, milk, and bath fragrance mixed between their lips and teeth.

In the middle, Qi Xiaoyu begged for mercy in a low voice, “Enough, let me go.”

Xun Qian refused, speeding up the movement of his hands while biting carefully, “Do you like me?”

Qi Xiaoyu could only whimper.

Xun Qian asked again, “Then why do you want to divorce me?”

Qi Xiaoyu was kissed so hard that his whole body softened and his mind blank. He had no time to think about these besides crying out in a daze.

Gradually, Xun Qian’s mind was diverted.

Qi Xiaoyu was too cute and too soft.

He regretted it now. He shouldn’t have pretended to be sick and lied that his leg was not healed.

Both of them had reached this point and were so close to the final step.

In fact, this sitting position shouldn’t be a problem, but Qi Xiaoyu still struggled and resisted a bit.

…

From the window all the way to the bed.

****

Early morning after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was still dark.

In the master bedroom on the third floor of the Xun family villa, there were shallow breathing sounds.

After a while, a white and smooth arm stretched out from the dark green quilt.

But look closer, and you’ll see a few deep and shallow hickeys on the arm.

The slender fingers fumbled around the pillow a few times, looking for a mobile phone.

But the mobile phone was a little far away, and the owner of the hand tried hard but couldn’t reach it, so he moved out a bit.

Then, just as he held the phone, another pair of hands emerged from the quilt, grabbed the person back very domineeringly, and locked him in his arms.

Qi Xiaoyu fumbled with the phone and saw that it was only half past five.

He had set the alarm for five forty-five, but now it was no longer needed, so he quickly turned off the alarm.

Xun Qian was hugging him, one arm under his neck to hold him, and another arm wrapping around his body.

And both of them were naked.

This reminded Qi Xiaoyu of what happened last night.

He blushed, so red that he suddenly woke up.

What did he do with Xun Qian last night?

Although they didn’t make it to the last step.

But it was hot enough.

Now that he woke up, he felt hot all over at those thoughts.

It’s all because of the wine he drank last night.

It’s also because the moonlight was too gentle.

Qi Xiaoyu took a breath silently and pushed Xun Qian away a little. “I’m going to the crew; you sleep a little longer, okay?”

As soon as Qi Xiaoyu moved, Xun Qian woke up and said softly, “Don’t you want to hug me for a while?”

Qi Xiaoyu turned his head away and said, “No…no.”

Xun Qian asked again, “Do you want me to take you there?”

“No…no need!” They chatted like a newlywed couple.

Xun Qian laughed softly, knowing that Qi Xiaoyu was shy. “Then let the driver take you.”

“Okay.” Qi Xiaoyu answered. With a flushed face, he hurriedly got up, barefoot, and ran to the carpet to find the clothes scattered on the ground.

His pajamas were entangled with Xun Qian’s shirt, and the sleeves were twisted together.

When he separated their clothes, he felt ashamed.

Xun Qian smiled behind him, “I will go downstairs with you later.”

“No, you sleep a little longer.”

After finally untangled his clothes, he turned back angrily, “Go back to sleep. You’re not allowed to take me downstairs.”

Xun Qian laughed again.

Qi Xiaoyu put on his clothes and ran downstairs without looking back.

He went to his room to change into clean clothes first, and then went downstairs to have breakfast.

It was too early, and no one else in the house had woken up.

He tiptoed around without turning on the light, careful not to disturb anyone’s sleep.

Only White-browed Hero, with his keen sense of hearing and smell, scurried out of his doghouse and followed him all the way.

Last night, Butler Cheng locked White-browed Hero on the first floor and didn’t let him run upstairs to make trouble.

After a night, he was very excited to see Qi Xiaoyu.

He followed Qi Xiaoyu wherever he went, making vague noises in his throat.

Not to mention that Qi Xiaoyu was making food, so he followed even more closely, circling around his legs. That way, as long as Qi Xiaoyu was not paying attention, he would step on him.

****

Qi Xiaoyu thought that since Xun Qian had woken up, he would probably come down to eat breakfast soon, so he made two breakfasts.

He ate one first and left one for the other party.

While eating breakfast, his mind was still full of last night’s episode.

It was then that he vaguely remembered the question Xun Qian had asked him.

Xun Qian asked a lot of questions, but he didn’t seem to answer them. Or maybe he answered one or two sentences, but he couldn’t remember them clearly.

If he were to seriously bring up and answer this kind of question now, he would feel a little… embarrassed.

White-browed Hero bit his trouser leg and barked. He was hungry and urged his owner to get him some food.

White-browed Hero now had two meals a day, at 8 am and 7 pm. Butler Cheng or Xun Qian would feed him a fixed amount of dog food.

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t want to feed him casually and disrupt his eating habits, but he was too noisy, so he stood up and brought some beef jerky to feed him.

White-browed Hero immediately rushed over with his tail wagging and ate up all the beef jerky.

After being fed, White-browed Hero obviously still felt that it was not enough, so he pestered him again with a howling sound. This time Qi Xiaoyu decided to ignore him.

He concentrated on thinking about Xun Qian’s question for a while.

Then he stood up and flipped out a pen and a little card that came with the cake.

It was a sky-blue card with a swoosh of blue sky and hearts, very fitting.

After some thought, he wrote a few words on the back of the card carefully—I like you—and drew a heart and a small fish below, and then pressed the card under the breakfast prepared for Xun Qian.

He thought that Xun Qian would come down to eat breakfast later, and he would be able to see it.

After doing all this, he looked at the time. It was already six o’clock, almost time to leave for the crew.

He squatted down and said goodbye to White-browed Hero, promising to come back to see him in a few days.

But White-browed Hero was only busy licking his fingers, which smelled of beef jerky and cake.

Qi Xiaoyu patted his head a few times, scolding him for being gluttonous, then got up and walked towards the parking garage.

White-browed Hero followed him to the door and only turned back to the dining room when he could no longer see Qi Xiaoyu.

There was breakfast for Xun Qian in the dining room, as well as the smell of beef jerky and cake that he liked.

Others hadn’t gotten up yet, so it was just the right time to steal food.

He looked up at the sky and moved his nose. The aroma of beef jerky and cake was really tempting.

He sniffed hard at the sky a few times. The table was a bit high, so he supported his body with the hind paws and stood up, but he couldn’t reach it.

Then he tried several more times.

Eventually, that height was defeated by the food.

With his disdainful efforts and trembling hind paws, White-browed Hero finally reached the table with his mouth.

He cocked his head and propped it up on the table, his tongue curling and smoothly rolling the piece of paper into his mouth!
