There’s only side stories left! Hope you enjoy it~
Also, there’s a mistranslation on chapter Extra 2:
Lu Zheyu asked Cheng Chen to pay him for his prostitution service. And that angers Cheng Chen because since he’s the bottom (and feeling very sore afterwards lol), he thinks he should be the one who get paid.
“Cheng-zong, this wine was sent by the winery to be used in the main venue. This has a high alcohol content. Elder Cheng said that Young Master Zhu’s guests are all still minor, so…”
“They’re all adults. It’s okay for them to drink a little,” Cheng Chen said, “Besides, even if the wine is placed here, they may not actually drink it. You can bring a few bottles over.”
The servant: “…”
This was a wine that cost several hundred of thousand yuan per bottle. Elder Cheng really cared about Young Master Zhu’s friends.
The servant smiled and nodded, intending to send the wine to the small room in the venue.
Cheng Chen added, “By the way, if someone accidentally gets drunk, just tell me and I will send them back.”
The servant couldn’t hide his surprise, but he still nodded professionally.
Cheng Chen had planned the banquet very well.
Tang Nuan and the other classmates didn’t care much, and just as he previously guessed, none of them touched the wine that was sent. Only Lu Zheyu, however, actually did differently.
He had always been “unsociable”. When there were many people around, he used to sit in the corner, drinking alone. It happened that the servant was worried that the student would overdrink, so he deliberately put the wine on the wine rack situated in an empty corner.
Lu Zheyu went to get some alcohol nearby. He had worked part-time in a bar and had some knowledge of it. He grabbed the wine that was sent over, and found it to be his taste. Without any further ado, he simply drank a few more glasses, and then fell drunk on the sofa.
A certain Cheng-zong’s plan to give him drinks succeeded. Taking advantage of the situation, he politely carried that tall young man out of the venue under the baffled gaze of others.
Cheng Chen didn’t know what he wanted to do, but he thought that this was a rare opportunity, so he took Lu Zheyu to a nearby hotel first.
Lu Zheyu was indeed drunk – he obediently got carried out without much of a fuss.
Cheng Chen stared at him without any scruples.
When they arrived at the hotel, the older man helped the other onto the bed.
Lu Zheyu was as quiet as a chicken throughout the whole process, and even his breathing was very steady.
Cheng Chen sat on the edge of the bed and panted.
He really underestimated the weight of a fully-grown adult man. Despite Lu Zheyu being only a bit taller than him, he was quite heavy.
After a moment of weakness, Cheng Chen turned his head again and looked at the young man’s face under the warm yellow light of the bed lamp.
Lu Zheyu’s face was deceptively calm. Since he was lying quietly, he looked like a harmless, innocent big boy.
But Cheng Chen knew that after the young man opened his eyes, despite it being emotionless, it was intimidating enough to keep people at bay with just a stare.
He had standard peach blossom eyes, but instead of it looking passionate and loving, it looked ruthless!
Cheng Chen stared at him with a complicated look. He then sighed, turned around, then took off the young man’s clothes.
While doing that, he felt that Lu Zheyu was unfair. When they worked together before, Lu Zheyu always refused to go to any entertainment event, and even if he went, he wouldn’t wear such formal clothes.
But now, he agreed to attend a classmate’s graduation banquet, and on top of that, wore formal clothes.
Cheng Chen snorted, unbuttoned the young man’s clothes, and was about to take off his clothes. But when he looked up, he saw that Lu Zheyu actually had opened his eyes.
“….”
Lu Zheyu asked, “What are you doing?”
Cheng Chen met his calm eyes. His hands, which were on the coat, went around to the young man’s front, and went to unbutton his inner shirt instead. “We’re in a hotel, what else can I do?”
He unbuttoned very skillfully, and each time a button was released, his fingertips would carelessly brush against Lu Zheyu’s cold skin.
Lu Zheyu frowned slightly.
Cheng Chen looked him in the eyes. “You dare to get drunk in my house. Don’t you have a sense of security?”
There was a naked provocation in his voice.
Suddenly, Lu Zheyu’s expression changed. Cheng Chen, without any shame, put his hands on the young man’s abdomen.
After that, he said in a serious tone, “You’re a tech nerd. Yet, you have a pretty good figure.”
“….”
As soon as he said that, Cheng Chen’s wrist was grabbed. Since he used his hand as a leverage to support half his weight, he was easily toppled over.
Their position was reversed. The older man’s head hit the soft pillow easily. His eyes, instinctively wincing during the impact, then fluttered open, only to meet the younger man’s eyes, now brewing with different emotions.
His face was reflected in those eyes.
Cheng Chen was stunned.
The younger man who held him down might’ve been a little drunk. His face was flushed and his gaze were deep, but the shimmering charm on his peach blossoms eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Cheng Chen’s free hand moved, mesmerized by Lu Zheyu’s face. As his eyes trailed down, he saw the unbuttoned shirt, while his tie was still hanging loosely around his neck. That inner shirt was hanging half-open, a provocation, as if he was playing hard to get.
Cheng Chen’s throat bobbed. Without hesitation, he used his free hand to bring down Lu Zheyu’s hovering head down.
Then he kissed him roughly.
Lu Zheyu’s body stiffened in surprise. But a moment later, he opened his mouth.
The two young men were like firewood – burning brightly at the slightest touch.
There was a faint tinge of alcohol filling Lu Zheyu’s lips and teeth. They both didn’t know how long their kiss lasted. The collision went on forever, and at the same time, went on only for a brief moment.
Soon, Cheng Chen felt his grip loosened. Other parts of his body started to feel like jelly.
He raised his head, his body temperature felt like skyrocketing.
Lu Zheyu’s breath was both erratic and hot. Despite that, his eyes burned even hotter.
Finally, his peach blossom eyes lived up to its reputation – charming and seductive, playing to its true role.
Cheng Chen suddenly smiled. “You…”
However, Lu Zheyu didn’t let him speak. He instead lowered his head again.
At the same time, his hands also moved.
When he realized that he had become in the passive role, Cheng Chen instinctively struggled.
Lu Zheyu’s voice sounded rough. He asked, “What? No?”
“…”
His head felt like it was filled with cotton. Cheng Chen racked his brain, trying to answer it. He felt that– yeah, getting people drunk, then bringing them to a hotel… it should be done for the purpose of having sex afterwards, right?
As for how the sex itself would go… it didn’t seem to be important.
Cheng Chen’s hand that was against Lu Zheyu’s chest withdrew. He gave up struggling, and in the same moment, Lu Zheyu immediately lowered his head. Like a hungry wolf, he bit down his neck.
Cheng Chen cursed “fuck!” in pain. His foot subconsciously raised to kick, but it was held down easily. Then his legs were spread out.
The night went on.
Then in the morning, after a night filled with indescribable pain and pleasure, Cheng Chen naively thought he would be greeted with a sweet morning afterglow.
But a certain someone was ruthless. He spread his palm, and immediately asked the payment for the prostitution service.
Cheng Chen: “…”
He then angrily said, “I do have money, but I need a reason.”
Lu Zheyu: “…”
Cheng Chen started to put on his clothes while cursing. After he finished, he felt a sharp pain on his waist and thighs. It only fueled his anger further. He threw his coat, glared at Lu Zheyu, and said, “You asked me for your payment? What evidence do you have to prove that I’m the one that had sex with you yesterday?”
—yes, he had evidence on his body, but he’s not going to show it!
Lu Zheyu calmly replied, “How did I get to the hotel yesterday again?”
“…”
A deadly blow.
The road from the hotel entrance to the hotel room was full of surveillance cameras.
So he had lost more than gained, and it’s his own fault?
Cheng Chen fell into silence for a while. Then, he gave Lu Zheyu a look full of suspicions. “You.. weren’t drunk last night… like, at all?”
Lu Zheyu, once again, calmly replied, “I was drunk.”
Cheng Chen thought, ‘Bullshit!!’
Lu Zheyu said that he was drunk, but somehow, he had enough clarity for that long of a foreplay? He had enough clarity to prolong stretching his private place before going in?
Though, considering his size, that stretching didn’t make much difference… his ass still hurts like hell.
But there was a big difference between being drunk or not.
Cheng Chen glared at him, not saying anything.
After an awkward silence, Cheng Chen sighed, picked up the coat that had fallen to the floor and put it on. He lifted the quilt and got out of the bed. When he stood up, his legs were still a little shaky. He naturally reached out, saying, “Help me.”
Lu Zheyu reached him to help.
After helping him to the bathroom door, Cheng Chen let him go. He pushed the door open and wanted to go in by himself.
Lu Zheyu suddenly grabbed his arm, his expression suggesting that he was struggling internally. He reminded the older man, “Cheng Chen, I slept with you last night.”
Cheng Chen had been suffering to walk to the bathroom door. He was so angry that he blurted out, “Do you need to clarify this? If I hadn’t been exhausted from carrying you up, do you think you could’ve overpowered me and fucked me? What are you so proud of, you brat?”1clarification: Cheng Chen thought that Lu Zheyu felt responsible because he’s the one topping. In reality, Lu Zheyu felt responsible because they had sex, position not important.
Lu Zheyu: “…”
Cheng Chen had grasped the wrong point without realizing it. Seeing that Lu Zheyu didn’t say anything in return, he turned around and said, “Why are you emphasizing this? Do you feel guilty now and want to pay me instead for my services?”
After a moment of silence, Lu Zheyu asked, “How much?”
Cheng Chen: “……”
‘Fuck!!’
He shook off Lu Zheyu’s hand, walked into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
‘Do this guy have anything else in mind besides the whole prostitution thing?’
Cheng Chen held his waist and limped towards the bathtub. Suddenly, he realized something. He paused, took two steps back, opened the bathroom door, and looked at the young man who still stood outside. He asked, “Do you think I have been with other people before you?”
Lu Zheyu frowned slightly, but didn’t answer.
Cheng Chen glared at him “You…”
Cheng-zong never felt this angry before in his 20-or-so years of life. His chest rose and fell several times. He went into the bathroom again. This time, the door was slammed hard enough to rattle the wall. The wind from the slam lifted Lu Zheyu’s bangs that fell in front of his eyes, revealing a pair of slightly confused eyes.
Inside the bathroom, Cheng Chen wasn’t in the mood to take a hot bath. He stood in front of the mirror and unceremoniously took off his clothes. Looking that the horrible marks on his body, he sighed deeply.
‘He must have been born in the Year of the Dog in his previous life!’
Cheng Chen knew Lu Zheyu because of a song.
As a boss, Cheng Chen was easy-going and casual, putting no air in his own company. Anyone who can get in touch with him in the company all had a good relationship with him.
Once, Zhuo Yunan released a new song despite being an actress, and she wanted to give it as a benefit to her fans. She wrote the lyrics herself and wanted to find an amateur fan to compose the music. She posted the lyrics and her intention on her Weibo.
Although Lu Zheyu wasn’t her fan, the owner of the bar he worked at was a hardcore Zhuo Yunan fanboy. He also happened to know that Lu Zheyu had composing as his hobby. After telling him, he asked Lu Zheyu to take over the “order” and compose the music.
The bar owner had a mindset of just casually trying it out, so he didn’t expect Lu Zheyu’s creation to be selected.
Since this was Zhuo Yunan’s first foray into the world of music, Cheng Chen went into the recording studio to support her. When he heard the song’s unique melody, he immediately wanted to sign the composer.
However, Zhuo Yunan replied regretfully, “I also had the same idea. When I heard this song, I asked Li-jie to contact the composer. I heard that the composer was still a minor in high school and had no intention to sign with an entertainment company. I guess he only regarded composing purely as a hobby and didn’t want to be famous.”
“…”
Cheng Chen listened to the song and began to ponder.
‘Since he was still a minor… isn’t that even more impossible to let go?’2the implication is that since LZY is still a minor, he can grow better easily. CC want to cultivate such talent, especially since it’s very malleable
The author has something to say:
Cheng-zong in the past: He’s a minor, don’t let him go!
Cheng-zong in the future: _(:з”∠)_
