RED Chapter 78

Comparing their behavior might seem childish, but to these two, it was nothing but sweet.

To them, the other was like a long-desired candy they couldn’t resist, always wanting another taste, never getting tired of it.

Chi Feiran often watched films or read novels, unable to fully understand the cloying atmosphere between lovers. He knew love could be passionate and intense, but he thought much of it was artistic exaggeration.

But when he experienced it firsthand, he realized that what was shown to the world, what many masters had written about, was not even a fraction of what he felt in that moment.

He didn’t want to end the kiss with this person. Even Rong Jin’s breath seemed intoxicating to him.

Time passed unknowingly, and Chi Feiran only felt a slight swelling in his lips. He glanced at Rong Jin.

Well, his lips still had the marks from the earlier nibbling!

Chi Feiran’s long-delayed sense of shame crept in. Had he been too much just now? He didn’t realize he had been biting while kissing!

Rong Jin saw him staring at his lips with a rich expression, but it didn’t look like he was ready to kiss again. Rong Jin couldn’t help but touch his own lips.

Chi Feiran immediately asked nervously, “How is it? Does it hurt? Is it broken?”

Rong Jin couldn’t help but laugh, realizing Chi Feiran was worried about this. He shook his head, “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

Chi Feiran wanted to verify for himself, so he cupped Rong Jin’s chin and looked closely. Actually, the tooth marks had already faded while they were talking, but Rong Jin’s lips looked particularly red…

Chi Feiran couldn’t help thinking they looked quite appetizing…

Chi Feiran thought to himself that he must be a beast, always wanting to take advantage without stopping, and then he kissed him again.

After the kiss, he felt quite shy and leaned his forehead on Rong Jin’s shoulder, secretly enjoying himself.

Rong Jin gently held him, letting him be happy in his arms.

Time seemed to lose its meaning. They just wanted to stay together like this, without talking or doing anything, as long as they were by each other’s side.

Rong Jin heard the soft laughter from Chi Feiran in his arms, and couldn’t help but smile more broadly.

He had been in the industry for more than ten years, starting with a strong desire for more people to like him and to prove himself to his family.

Unfortunately, no matter what, things in this world can never be perfect. There will always be people who like you and people who don’t.

Rong Jin understood this at a young age, but after witnessing fans’ sudden shifts from love to hate, he felt confused.

Was this the kind of love he wanted? Did fans really love him?

No, they loved an idol, a high and mighty figure, shining with divine light, created by packaging and marketing.

Maybe that was him, but it was definitely not all of him.

He started winning awards, many Best Actor awards, but realized that no matter how outstanding he was in the industry, his family would never acknowledge him.

How to describe this feeling? It was like holding countless treasures but feeling empty inside. He began experiencing chronic insomnia.

It sounded pretentious, but it was true. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had made the wrong choice.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that even if the love was false, he still wanted it, and he truly loved acting. There was no turning back.

So often, he felt an indescribable emptiness.

Ironically, the best way he found to fill this emptiness was through the virtual world, where everyone was the same, and no one knew who he was.

It was quite ironic. He had spent so much time and energy becoming a shining star in others’ eyes, only to escape to the virtual world…

But luckily, in these false illusions, he found reality. Maybe all these years of waiting were for meeting the person in his arms.

This feeling of having his heart filled was wonderful.

Rong Jin whispered in his heart, Feiran, you might never know what your presence means to me.

Chi Feiran seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up, softly asking, “Are you busy recently?”

Rong Jin immediately said, “Not busy, why?”

He had even fired his agent to prepare for this relationship. What could he possibly be busy with?

Chi Feiran looked at him with bright eyes, “Then let’s go to Country A together!”

His expression was so radiant, like the sun, that Rong Jin’s heart raced. Go to Country A together? His family was there. Was this another family meeting? Or perhaps… getting a marriage certificate? What was the legal marriage age in Country A again?

But then Chi Feiran said, “E&E wants me to attend the autumn-winter fashion week in Country A. Let’s go together!”

He was the full-line spokesperson for E&E in Asia, obligated to attend brand events. Fashion weeks were also excellent opportunities to boost his fashion profile, benefiting his future career. Since he had been preparing for exams, he hadn’t taken any work for a while, resulting in a particularly full schedule for the upcoming period.

Chi Feiran didn’t want to separate from Rong Jin right after confirming their relationship, but he couldn’t neglect his entire work team just for love. Plus, there was Aunt Cen’s face to consider. So, Chi Feiran thought it would be best if Rong Jin could go with him.

Rong Jin: “…”

Indeed, his thoughts tended to run too far ahead…

Then Chi Feiran’s next words healed him: “I don’t want to be apart from you.”

Chi Feiran said this with a bit of shyness but mostly with a righteous openness in expressing his feelings. He wanted to share all his love and emotions with Rong Jin.

Rong Jin’s heart melted, filled with soft and tender feelings. He said, “Okay, let’s go together.”

Then Chi Feiran called Li Yuan, and Rong Jin called Chang Haoqing.

Chang Haoqing’s hand shook when he received the call, fearing it might be Rong Jin’s final words, telling him to take care and that they would be brothers in the next life.

But who would have thought that Rong Jin, sounding exuberant over the phone, said, “Get things ready! I’m going to Country A’s Fashion Week with Feiran!”

Chang Haoqing’s legs went weak, almost dropping to his knees. “Bro, what are you up to?!”

Rong Jin laughed, “I’m going to accompany my boyfriend for work and maybe meet his mother.”

Chang Haoqing: “…”

Chang Haoqing felt it wasn’t just meeting the mother-in-law; it was more like he was on his way to meet the grim reaper and drink the forgetfulness soup.

Then Rong Jin said something even scarier, “Feiran’s family agreed, they’ve known about us for a while.”

Chang Haoqing didn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe it. He shouted, “Where are you? Are you drunk?! Where are you! Tell me now!!”

Chang Haoqing was genuinely terrified that Rong Jin was drunk and talking nonsense. If anyone heard this, it would be disastrous!

But then, it wasn’t Rong Jin who responded, but a familiar, young voice: “Brother Chang, it’s Feiran. My family knows about me and Brother Rong. Don’t worry.”

Chang Haoqing: “…”

This was… this was the little prince’s voice…

Chang Haoqing collapsed in his chair, almost dropping his phone. He felt like he was dreaming; the world had become too surreal to be real!

On the other end, it seemed to be Rong Jin again, but Chang Haoqing couldn’t listen. Everything was too overwhelming for him to process.

Rong Jin: “Hello? Hello? Chang Haoqing?”

Chang Haoqing weakly responded, “Okay… Country A Fashion Week… Got it…”

After speaking, he hung up the phone, blinking several times, and pinched his thigh hard. It hurt!

Only then did he quickly pick up his phone again to check. Sure enough, there was a call from Rong Jin. He immediately called back.

The moment the call connected, Chang Haoqing yelled, “What the hell! Is this real? You two are official?!”

Rong Jin smiled slightly, putting on airs for his agent, “Too excellent, can’t help it.”

Chang Haoqing: “…”

Chang Haoqing hung up the phone. What was wrong with him? It was enough to be shocked on his own, why did he call Rong Jin back, giving him a chance to boast!

Although Chang Haoqing was genuinely happy for his brother, his joy was quickly overwhelmed by Rong Jin’s boastful aura.

Muttering to himself, he started preparing for Rong Jin’s trip to the fashion week, but he felt like he was forgetting something.

What was it…?

He was about to call the head of haute couture in the Asia region when it hit him like a ton of bricks. Damn!

Chang Haoqing quickly opened Weibo. The world was still calm, but he was already breaking into a cold sweat.

He swiftly changed Rong Jin’s Weibo password. Only after doing so did he let out a long sigh of relief.

Probably just a few minutes later, Rong Jin called.

Rong Jin asked, “Did you change my Weibo password?”

Chang Haoqing: “…”

Those few minutes felt like a life-or-death race…

Rong Jin then asked, “I just wanted to celebrate my relationship. Can’t I post about it?”

Chang Haoqing, clutching his chest, felt like his recent actions had just saved the world. He said, “I’m begging you, please act normal…”

Rong Jin: “…”

Unable to post on Weibo, Rong Jin was frustrated.

Chi Feiran, seeing Rong Jin’s persistent look, couldn’t help but laugh. He then took out his phone and snapped a photo of the table in front of them.

On the table were two beautiful cups of fruit tea, still steaming, under the warm light in the private room, making the picture look especially lovely.

On either side of the fruit tea were boxes containing their tokens of love, with the lids closed, so one couldn’t see what was inside.

Chi Feiran edited a Weibo post and sent it out.

Chi Feiran V: This moment, worth remembering for a lifetime. [Heart] Attached photo.

After posting, Chi Feiran handed his phone to Rong Jin, asking if he was satisfied.

Rong Jin stared at the Weibo post for a long time, feeling like a child given candy, indescribably content.

Then he called Chang Haoqing, urging him to like Chi Feiran’s Weibo post.

Chang Haoqing relented, feeling that if he didn’t help Rong Jin like the post, Rong Jin might go crazy.

So, he did it. Then, Rong Jin’s fans began their frenzy.

Chi Feiran’s fans were also highly active, and when they saw such a post out of the blue, they were passionately speculating. But then they noticed Rong Jin’s fans had taken over the comments.

“Rong Rong liked it! What does this mean?!”

“Two cups, two people, and the male god liked it. So, he’s the other person! This… everyone, gather here!”

“Good brothers having tea together, no big deal. I’d also remember it for a lifetime if I had tea with my idol.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, a lifetime of brotherly affection?”
