When Ye Shanshan was kissed, he was momentarily taken aback, but it only took three seconds for him to fully immerse himself in the kiss. He even opened his mouth willingly, allowing Gong Yue’s tongue to enter, quite naturally.
Feeling his lips being lightly bitten, he thought to himself how wonderful it was that he didn’t even need to find an excuse to kiss—his boyfriend was so proactive. Happy!
But this time, the kiss didn’t last long. Gong Yue pinched Ye Shanshan’s chin with his fingers and pulled back slightly, “Shanshan, let’s not go further today, okay?” He felt like he was losing control.
Ye Shanshan, enjoying the kiss, whimpered, “No.” He closed his eyes and blindly sought out Gong Yue’s lips again. Once he found them, he held them, tasting bit by bit, while mumbling, “Brother, Your Majesty—” He felt the same heat he had felt earlier when he got out of bed, not knowing how to release it. Feeling uncomfortable, Ye Shanshan rubbed against Gong Yue restlessly, “I feel bad.”
Ye Shanshan’s voice, sounding like it was mixed with sweet wine, made Gong Yue kiss him hard again before pulling back a bit and asking, “Where do you feel bad?”
Feeling his face heat up, Ye Shanshan hugged Gong Yue, his fingers subconsciously stroking Gong Yue’s lower back, “Hot, I dreamt of you kissing me, and when I woke up, I felt so hot. I’m still hot now.”
Gong Yue looked into his eyes, which seemed to glisten as if they were holding water, and suddenly understood.
Ye Shanshan was different from ordinary people. Usually, people would experience a feeling first and then define what it was. For Ye Shanshan, it was always the other way around—he first had a “definition” before he could fully experience the feeling.
It was as if there was a barrier that locked away most of his normal emotions, and only by using the corresponding “key” could he unlock and fully experience them.
“Still very hot now?” Seeing Ye Shanshan nod, Gong Yue hesitated for a few seconds, then finally guided Ye Shanshan’s hand downward.
Moving his fingers, he heard a sudden, heavy breath in his ear. Ye Shanshan looked up at Gong Yue with wide eyes, “Hard candy? Is this what erectile tissue engorgement feels like?” He then felt himself and asked, “Why am I soft candy?”
Gong Yue didn’t reply, simply holding him close and gently kissing the top of his head, caressing him softly. Ye Shanshan’s mouth suddenly let out a few broken hums. Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around Gong Yue’s neck, feeling weak and hanging onto him, his knees trembling, “Brother—” His voice wavered.
Up until now, he had never experienced such a sensation. His entire body felt hot, like something was about to break through but hadn’t reached the tipping point yet. Feeling Gong Yue’s gentle touches, he could even visualize the movements of his fingers.
Feeling like a fog had descended over his eyes, Ye Shanshan felt like he was about to explode. He leaned his head on Gong Yue’s shoulder, rubbing and licking, but the increasingly intense sensation couldn’t be relieved at all.
Dizzily calling out “Gong Yue,” Ye Shanshan subconsciously bit down on Gong Yue’s shoulder, feeling a bit better. But gasps continued to escape him.
Gong Yue let him bite his shoulder while kissing his pink-tinted earlobe. “Shanshan, be good, come here.” As he spoke, his actions quickened. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, and his fingers felt sticky.
With tears in his eyes, legs completely powerless, Gong Yue lifted the limp Ye Shanshan and carried him into the bathroom.

The next day, Ye Shanshan slept in until noon. Gong Yue had gone to work early in the morning, kissing Ye Shanshan’s forehead before leaving.
Sitting on the bed for a few minutes, reminiscing about the previous night’s sensations, Ye Shanshan felt his body react again. Anxiously pulling back the covers, Ye Shanshan hugged the pillow that carried Gong Yue’s scent and took a deep breath.
Missing his boyfriend.
Once the raised area had subsided, Ye Shanshan got up to brush his teeth. When he looked in the mirror, he suddenly noticed a string of red marks on his neck. Clenching his toothbrush, he reached up to touch them, feeling somewhat intrigued—so this was the legendary mark of love?
Feeling instantly uplifted, Ye Shanshan finished his morning routine, intentionally took a photo, and sent it to Gong Yue. “Boyfriend, look!”
Gong Yue replied quickly, “Are you up? Feeling uncomfortable?”
Ye Shanshan replied while sipping his millet porridge, “I’m up, having porridge,” then added, “Boyfriend, focus on work and don’t play with your phone. Waiting for you to come home.”
Ah, so mature.

After lunch and two classes, Ye Shanshan suddenly remembered the Weibo post he had shared last night.
Patting his head, Ye Shanshan muttered to himself, “Indeed, people in love do become foolish.” He felt like ever since Gong Yue entered his life, there was no room left in his brain for intelligence or wisdom.
He was completely doomed!
And at this moment, the internet had exploded.
When the “Ye Shanshan and Wei Ying” hot search appeared yesterday, the netizens were already quite accustomed to it. After all, this was the usual route for movie promotion before its release. They would just watch the excitement, and who knows, there might be a slim chance it was true.
But no one, including Wei Ying, expected that while the CP rumor was trending, Ye Shanshan would just respond with “I don’t know her,” clearly indicating non-cooperation and a complete rejection.
This is quite rare in the entertainment industry because, after all, even if there’s deep animosity between parties, when facing the camera, everyone usually puts on a facade of “everything’s fine.”
Immediately afterward, Zheng Dong quickly reposted Ye Shanshan’s Weibo post and issued a formal statement to clarify that Ye Shanshan and Wei Ying only had a purely professional relationship, and there was no personal involvement between them. He also thanked everyone for their attention and fans’ support.
According to hearsay, someone saw Wei Ying smash her phone on set when she saw this message, and she even said directly that she wished Ye Shanshan well.
Ye Shanshan skimmed through the follow-up messages, scratched his head, feeling that anything upsetting his boyfriend would also upset him. So, he decided to ignore the online drama and called Zheng Dong, saying he wanted to go pick out a script.
Zheng Dong was surprised when he received the call and even checked the displayed contact name to confirm it was Ye Shanshan. “Have you had a change of heart?”
“I’ve finished filming ‘The Inquisitor,’ and the ads too, right? I’ve got some free time.” Except for Christmas and New Year when he would accompany Gong Yue back to the ancestral mansion in the U.S., he had basically no plans.
Feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of Gong Yue at home alone, Ye Shanshan felt he needed something to occupy himself. Plus, according to “The Love Manual,” it said that both people in a relationship should maintain independence and mystery to keep the romance fresh.
“So, Shanshan, do you want to come over to the company now?” Zheng Dong decided to seize the opportunity before Ye Shanshan’s enthusiasm faded, as there might not be a chance for regrets later.
“Sure, I’ll come over now.”
When the car stopped in the company’s underground parking lot, Ye Shanshan suddenly remembered something important. He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Gong Yue to inform him of his plans—according to “The Love Manual,” it was best to cultivate a habit of reporting schedules to strengthen intimacy and security.
After putting away his phone, Ye Shanshan hummed contentedly with a good mood as he took the elevator up. As soon as he entered Zheng Dong’s office, he noticed a pile of scripts on the desk.
“These are all sent by others. Take a look and see if there’s anything you’re interested in.”
Ever since Ye Shanshan participated in the variety show “48-Hour Challenge,” his popularity had soared. Zheng Dong had turned down countless variety show invitations, TV interviews, and endorsement offers, resulting in a pile of scripts accumulating in a corner covered in dust.
But since Ye Shanshan hadn’t shown interest, Zheng Dong hadn’t brought it up.
Now that Ye Shanshan had taken the initiative to select a script, he had them all brought out.
It was Ye Shanshan’s first time choosing a script like this, and he was excited. Just as he was about to start, he heard noises from outside, mixed with a somewhat familiar female voice.
“Has someone arrived?”
“Take a look, I’ll go see.”
Zheng Dong opened the door and saw Wei Ying accompanied by her agent and several assistants, along with a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. They were standing at the elevator entrance, asking the staff where Ye Shanshan was.
They’re here to see him? Zheng Dong closed the door behind him and approached them directly. “Miss Wei, what an honor to have you visit our Yulian Entertainment. Should I say you’re adding luster to our humble abode?”
Wei Ying comes from a well-connected family, her father being a prominent real estate developer in the country. So, while she appears modest and polite, her reputation isn’t particularly good. Zheng Dong originally thought that by not giving face online, he might have offended this young lady, at worst causing a rift between them. He never expected her to show up in person.
As soon as Wei Ying saw Zheng Dong, a smile appeared on her face. “I’ve come to see Ye-ge, is he here?” In fact, she had someone specifically wait at Yulian Entertainment and rushed over when she received word that Ye Shanshan had recently arrived at the company.
Upon hearing “Ye-ge,” Zheng Dong didn’t immediately realize who she was referring to. It took him a moment to equate “Ye-ge” with Ye Shanshan. Just as he was about to say that Ye Shanshan wasn’t around, he noticed Wei Ying looking past him, her eyes lighting up and her face turning red. She even tugged at the sleeve of the middle-aged man beside her, lowering her voice. “Dad, that’s Ye-ge.”
“Dad?” Zheng Dong felt a sense of unease, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Shanshan opening the office door and coming out.
Noticing everyone looking at him, Ye Shanshan walked up to Zheng Dong and stopped. “Who are those people?”
Lowering his voice, Zheng Dong replied, “Wei Ying.” He glanced at the visibly blushing Wei Ying. “The person next to her seems to be her father.”
“…” Ye Shanshan ran his hand through his hair. “Gong Yue has already arrived downstairs at the company.”
