MMJWQC Chapter 55

Chu Ruochun and Feng Qi, who disappeared for three years, reappeared in the public eye just because of a food livestream, and they immediately became the top trending topic. Feng Qi’s fans were left stunned.

Three years ago, when he left the entertainment industry, it didn’t create as much impact as the revelation of his sexual orientation and his relationship three years later.

What’s even more surprising is that his partner turned out to be none other than Chu Ruochun, who also left the industry in the same year.

Without any official statement from the couple, netizens have already started speculating about a dramatic love story – sacrificing one’s career for the great love of another.

——Seriously, even if they’re together, it wouldn’t affect their acting and variety show careers. Why did they both leave the industry when they were at the peak of their careers? It’s such a waste.

——Love conquers all?

——When did they get together in the first place?

——I just want to know if this is the real reason for their retirement.

The internet is buzzing with speculation.

Feng Qi and Chu Ruocun didn’t expect this coincidence at all. They happened to come out at the same time to meet, have a meal, and even encounter a live broadcast, which suddenly announced their relationship.

For them, it didn’t matter much since they had both retired from the entertainment circle.

Considering the onlookers, Chu Ruochun and Feng Qi didn’t continue wandering outside and could only reschedule their date.

Feng Qi logged into his long-unused Weibo account.

In these three years, he hadn’t really focused on these worldly matters. Chu Ruochun had just woken up from a long slumber, and he was so happy that he couldn’t even remember this incident.

His heart had finally settled down, and Feng Qi began to consider whether to make their relationship public.

After returning home and avoiding fans, Feng Qi opened his computer and logged into Weibo.

As expected, the video of them had already been edited and posted on Weibo without any surprises, firmly occupying the top spot on the trending list.

Chu Ruochun leaned over, resting his head on Feng Qi’s shoulder. “What are you looking at?”

Feng Qi’s computer was touch-screen, and his finger pointed at the trending rankings on the screen. “Weibo, we’re trending.”

“Oh,” Chu Ruochun nodded. He turned to look at Feng Qi. “So, do you want to explain?”

Feng Qi asked him, “Do you want to?”

Chu Ruochun didn’t even need to think. “I don’t care; I won’t lose anything.”

Both of them had retired from the entertainment industry, so whether or not to make their relationship public didn’t hold much significance. Besides, they had already been caught on camera, so there was nothing to hide.

Feng Qi smiled and said, “Alright, I want to make it public.”

Chu Ruochun replied, “Hmm, after all, you suddenly retired from the industry. You should explain it to the fans who have been chasing you for so many years.”

Feng Qi agreed, “I’ll follow your advice.”

That evening, Feng Qi wrote a short essay and posted it on Weibo.

The main content was about publicly announcing his and Chu Ruochun’s relationship. He also took the opportunity to thank the fans for their years of support and expressed that they were currently leading a happy life. He hoped that fans and the media wouldn’t disturb their peaceful life.

Sure enough, as soon as the daytime video trended, this short essay seamlessly took its place at the top.

Fans clearly understood that Feng Qi had genuinely retired from the entertainment industry and wouldn’t return to acting. They called for Feng Qi’s return to the entertainment circle, and that trended as well.

In any case, the attention today was all on them.

But no matter how many storms raged online, it didn’t affect Chu Ruochun and Feng Qi’s current pace of life. When it was time to sleep, they would sleep.

Chu Ruochun’s body had just recovered, and Feng Qi had already taken up the other half of his bed.

As the night fell, Chu Ruochun climbed into bed, and Feng Qi followed suit.

Chu Ruochun remembered that he used to like sleeping close to him when he was a child, and now, he still does, especially reminiscing about those times.

He squeezed most of his body into Feng Qi’s embrace.

Feng Qi didn’t expect to become a bit clingy today. He asked, “What’s the matter?”

Chu Ruochun, lying close to him, felt comfortable and said, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking that we used to lie like this when we were kids, but back then, we slept on bamboo mats, and it was during the summer.”

Feng Qi suggested, “When summer comes, we can set up a bamboo mat bed in the next room, drink tea, play chess, and entertain guests. How does that sound?”

Chu Ruochun agreed, nodding his head.

As they reminisced about the past, it didn’t take long for Chu Ruochun to start feeling drowsy.

Feng Qi heard his even breathing and pulled the blanket up to their shoulders, holding him as he drifted off to sleep.

It was truly wonderful; if they could continue living like this, it would be perfect.

–

A year and a half later.

Chu Ruolin was already in junior high, taller, with more homework, and more friends around. But of course, he was still just as attached to his older brother.

When summer vacation arrived, Chu Ruolin started packing his bags.

Chu Ruochun entered his room, looking at the pile of clothes on the bed, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Haven’t finished packing yet?”

As the child grew up, he started caring about his appearance. He usually wore his school uniform, and now that he was going out to play, he wasn’t sure what clothes to bring, still in the process of choosing.

This was all because Feng Qi had spoiled him.

Chu Ruolin asked, “Brother, what should I bring?”

“Bring some long-sleeved clothes,” Chu Ruochun suggested. “There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains.”

“But didn’t you make mosquito-repelling sachets? Isn’t that enough?”

“I’ve never been to that area. What if the mosquitoes are particularly fierce, and the sachets aren’t enough to protect you?”

“Alright, I’ll watch you finish packing,” Chu Ruochun said.

Just as he said that, Feng Qi walked over.

“Ruolin, you haven’t finished packing yet? We’re leaving this afternoon.”

“I’ll do it right away!” Chu Ruolin began stuffing clothes into his suitcase.

He was indeed attached to Chu Ruochun, but with Feng Qi around, he didn’t act too spoiled.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, the three of them boarded the flight to the place where Chu Ruochun and Feng Qi had lived years ago.

In the evening, the three of them dragged their suitcases into a well-preserved forest.

However, Feng Qi had spent three years here and had built a relatively modern three-story cabin.

The first floor was not inhabited, and Chu Ruolin got the living rights to the second floor, while Chu Ruochun and Feng Qi lived on the third floor.

Chu Ruochun finally got his wish with a bamboo bed, and the exterior decorations were somewhat reminiscent of the past, bringing back nostalgic memories.

The master’s grave had long been gone, and they had erected a monument not far away as a remembrance to themselves.

The three of them spent almost half a month in the forest, living a life where they worked from sunrise to sunset.

After half a month, when they returned to the city, Chu Ruolin had become much quieter. He had shed some of the restlessness of youth and become more focused.

–

Chu Ruochun opened an antique store and occasionally took on small jobs with Feng Qi.

Just as the store had opened, a sports car pulled up at the entrance, and the owner of the car pushed the door open and rushed in!

“Mr. Chu, we have another new case that needs your help,” said the person standing at the counter, but it wasn’t Chu Ruochun; it was Feng Qi, holding a golden abacus in his hand.

“Director Jiang, here again?” He smiled at the newcomer, a knowing look in his eyes.

The use of the word “again” had a certain spirituality to it.

Director Jiang smiled apologetically and said, “Well, Mr. Chu is just so talented.”

“Isn’t there anyone else in your special department?” Feng Qi expressed some grievances, but he couldn’t resist when Chu Ruochun said he wanted to accumulate merit for them. He basically accepted all the cases that Director Jiang sent his way.

“Um, they’re all too weak.”

“What kind of case is it this time?”

Chu Ruochun’s voice preceded his arrival; he walked out from behind and gently pressed his hand against Feng Qi’s waist.

Director Jiang skillfully handed over the documents, saying, “This one.”

Chu Ruochun glanced at it and playfully bumped his shoulder against the annoyed-looking Feng Qi. “Shall we go together?”

Feng Qi sighed in resignation. “Alright.”

The two bosses had just arrived and were already called away, something the employees had become accustomed to.

But what exactly were they going to do?
