The sky had just turned bright.
“Why am I suddenly live streaming today? Just wanted to show off.”
Xuan Yun held a selfie stick and smiled brightly into the phone. The barrage of comments kept refreshing. It was early, so there weren’t many viewers, but the real-time viewership was continuously increasing.
“Ah, someone told me that Yun Yun is live streaming, and I didn’t believe it. But he’s actually live now???”
“Hahaha, Host Yun Yun, are you moonlighting as a singer?”
“Yun Yun looks so beautiful. I love!”
“What are you showing off, Yun Yun???”
“Show off?!” Xuan Yun quietly climbed onto the bed, switched the camera to the rear-facing one, and his fans saw the bulging shape on the bed, “Showing off my boyfriend.”
Yu Qiu was still asleep. Xuan Yun had tossed him around half the night, and he was exhausted. He curled up slightly, his hair soft, looking especially gentle and obedient.
He was a light sleeper and easily disturbed by noise. He vaguely heard Xuan Yun’s voice.
Xuan Yun blew in his ear, “Qiu ge, it’s time to get up. You—”
Before he could finish, his neck suddenly felt heavy, and Yu Qiu closed his eyes, pulling him into his arms and giving him a quick kiss. “Don’t bother… Let me sleep a bit longer…”
“…”
“Aaahh, they’re giving us dog food early in the morning.”
“It’s causing discomfort.”
“So sweet! I’m officially a ‘Yunyu’ shipper today!!!”
“Aahh, I’ve had enough dog food!”
Xuan Yun was taken aback, his face turned red. He whispered, “Qiu ge, get up now. Weren’t we supposed to go home today?”
Nearly two months had passed since Yu Qiu was proven innocent of plagiarism. The Spring Festival was just a few days away. Yu Qiu originally wanted to visit Xuan Yun’s parents first, but Xuan Yun disagreed. He insisted on going to Yu Qiu’s home first.
When Yu Qiu had playfully pinched his cheeks and asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Xuan Yun replied, “I am afraid. Afraid that if we go too late, you’ll run away with someone else.”
They had booked their plane tickets for noon today.
Unusually, Yu Qiu lazed in bed for a while. In the middle, Xuan Yun ended the live stream because Yu Qiu’s act of being reluctant to get up was just too adorable, and he didn’t want others to see it.
Yu Qiu got out of bed, finished washing up, and then Xuan Yun started the live stream. After waiting for a long time, the fans immediately began clamoring when they saw Xuan Yun’s face.
“Where’s Yu Qiu! I want to see Yu Qiu!”
“Ahhh, Xuan Yun cut out the exciting parts!”
Xuan Yun pressed a finger to his lips and said with a playful smile, “Shh, Qiu ge is cooking.”
The camera switched to the rear view.
Sunlight poured in, and Yu Qiu faced away from the camera, cutting bread slices. Even his hair seemed to shimmer with golden light. He didn’t turn around and asked, “What sauce do you want?”
“Strawberry sauce!” Xuan Yun shouted loudly. Yu Qiu chuckled softly and said, “Okay.”
“Qiu ge, Qiu ge!” Xuan Yun leaned closer, “Can I have a slice first?”
“Are you hungry?”
“Starving.”
Yu Qiu cut off the crust of the bread and stuffed the soft slice into Xuan Yun’s mouth. Xuan Yun’s eyes sparkled with delight as he mumbled, “Thank you, Qiu ge!”
“Aaahhh, Qiu ge is so thoughtful, even cutting off the crust of the bread!”
“Xuan Yun is so adorable, I love him! I’m a ‘Cloud Rain’ shipper today!”
Yu Qiu heard the sound of gifts coming from Xuan Yun’s phone and asked curiously, “Are you watching videos on your phone?”
“No, I’m live streaming,” Xuan Yun admitted unabashedly, “My boyfriend is too amazing, so I wanted to show him off.”
Yu Qiu was left speechless by his somewhat childish behavior.
“Qiu ge, say hello to them?”
Yu Qiu looked at the camera, showing a rare hint of shyness. He wasn’t used to speaking in front of many people, and his ears turned a bit red. “Um… Good morning, everyone. I’m Yu Qiu.”
“Mr. Yu, on behalf of our vast number of fans, I have a routine morning question for you,” Xuan Yun said seriously, “Keep cutting bread, I want to have it toasted!”
Yu Qiu placed the bread slice in the toaster. “What do you want to ask?”
“How do you feel about today’s weather?” Xuan Yun leaned in, pointing the camera at Yu Qiu’s long eyelashes. “Your eyelashes are really long, Qiu ge.”
“The weather is nice,” Yu Qiu replied, “Why do you ask?”
“Do you know what kind of weather is perfect for something?” Xuan Yun smoothly looped his arm around Yu Qiu’s neck, gently kissing his cheek. “It’s perfect for kissing my darling.”
“…” Xuan Yun couldn’t bear the sweet words that came so effortlessly. He said, “…Oh.”
“Aahhhh, this is an immortal love story, so sweet!”
“I’ll leave first, I’m full.”
“Please continue, we can’t get enough!”
“Hahaha, Xuan Yun can’t resist anymore, keep going, Xuan Yun!”
“Then I’ll ask again,” Xuan Yun pushed him away, “Stop being so clingy, we’re all adults here, ahem, let’s be more serious…”
“Xuan Yun, wake up, keep being flirty!”
“Can Xuan Yun be as flirty as Teacher Yu?”
“Hahahaha!”
“Next is the second question,” Xuan Yun said, “Please use one sentence to evaluate your boyfriend, more than one word, less than ten words.”
“One sentence?” Yu Qiu hesitated and bit his lip, “It’s a bit too short to express all his good qualities.”
“It’s fine, just one sentence to casually evaluate him.”
“One sentence…” Yu Qiu turned his face to look at him, thought for a moment, and then whispered four words into his ear.
“…” Xuan Yun’s face turned red instantly, “You, you, you…”
“Can anyone decipher what Teacher Yu said with his lip movements? Waiting online.”
“What did Yu Qiu say!!!”
“Why is Xuan Yun blushing so much??”
“I love Xuan Yun 1555551, an unparalleled cutie.”
Just now, Yu Qiu whispered four words in his ear.
Talented – Big – Skillful – Good.
“Alright,” Yu Qiu said, “Come over and have dinner.”
“And the last question!” Xuan Yun cleared his throat and shouted, “After you answer, I’ll end the live stream and we’ll have dinner!”
“What do you think love is?” Xuan Yun asked, a very cliché question. But he… wanted to hear his perspective.
“To be honest, I haven’t really thought deeply about this question,” Yu Qiu said. “Maybe it’s… on a day with good sunlight, thinking of laying out the blanket for you, making your favorite meal with your favorite sauce, and looking forward to having breakfast together face to face. I feel full of anticipation for the day.”
“In fact, I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, but I don’t know how to say them,” Yu Qiu suddenly said, “Are you still live streaming?”
Xuan Yun approached, lifted his chin, and blocked the camera before kissing him.
“I love you.”
