An Qingyan had a gut feeling that the way Lu Yuqi and An Jing got along was a bit strange. It wasn't that they disliked each other, but it certainly wasn't that they had a good relationship either.

Hmm... it's quite subtle.

He smiled and said, "Anything can happen if you want it to."

Lu Yuqi: "Then I want An Jing to call me Dad. Do you think that's possible?"

An Qingyan: "..." Then you'll have to ask my dad's opinion.

Lu Yuqi remained expressionless. "Just kidding."

An Qingyan's gaze lingered on the other person's face with a probing look. The arrogant king's eyes seemed particularly deep. He couldn't help but say, "I always feel like you're hiding something from me."

Lu Yuqi tugged at the corner of his lips, "Everyone has their own secrets."

“That’s true.” An Qingyan nodded in agreement. Since Lu Yuqi didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t press him further. He also had a secret, and if he told it, perhaps no one would believe him.

No, Wen Yan would believe it, because he was also reborn.

Thinking of Wen Yan, she wondered how he was doing now, and why he had also been reborn. At least he wasn't bothering her anymore, which was for the best. (Remember https://m.)

After strolling around the villa for a while, the two went back inside to play games. An Qingyan rarely played games and always lost to Lu Yuqi, even when the other party went easy on her.

"No, no... I give up, I'm not fighting anymore!" An Qingyan gave up struggling and lay down on the carpet, becoming a lazy bum. Just then, Gu Fei sent him a WeChat message, asking if he was feeling better and if he was taking his medicine on time.

A smile appeared on the boy's handsome, fair face as his long, slender fingers tapped on the phone keyboard: [It's much better now. Yuqi came to visit me today, and we played games together, but I lost every time.]

After sending it, he sent another cute little cat sighing emoji. Emojis are a must-have for modern young people chatting, except for serious and solemn old cadres like Gu Fei.

"You're really terrible at this." Lu Yuqi glanced at him and saw him looking at his phone with a sweet smile. He knew who he was chatting with. It's good to have a partner.

An Qingyan: "I just rarely play. I'll definitely beat you next time."

Lu Yuqi: "Let your husband teach you."

"He can play games?" An Qingyan looked away from the screen, realized something, then sat up abruptly and hurriedly denied it: "What husband? He's not my husband!"

“Oh…” Lu Yuqi raised an eyebrow, looking at him meaningfully, “If he’s not your husband, then what, is he your wife? An Qingyan, you’re quite something, even Gu Fei has been…”

An Qingyan's lips twitched. "Can we talk about something innocent?" Besides, he didn't have the ability to do *that* to Gu Fei. He had the guts but not the stamina. That was a physical job that required skill.

Lu Yuqi shrugged indifferently, "We're all adults."

“Then may I ask this adult?” An Qingyan rested her chin on her hand, looking at her composed friend with interest, and asked, “Have you ever been in a relationship?”

"..." Lu Yuqi, an adult, was stumped by the question, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face. He remained silent for a moment before reluctantly uttering two words: "No."

An Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I didn't expect the arrogant king to be so innocent."

Lu Yuqi: "..."

Damn it! An Qingyan, you have no respect for single people!

Lu Yuqi gritted his teeth, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back to what we were talking about earlier."

An Qingyan gave an "oh," going along with the arrogant Wang's wishes, otherwise he was afraid of being beaten. He pretended nothing had happened and returned to the original question: "Gu Fei plays games?"

He had never seen Gu Fei play games.

"Yes." Lu Yuqi said with a straight face, though he didn't want to admit it, "Gu Fei is very capable no matter what he does."

About three or four years ago, he insisted on challenging Gu Fei to a game because he was good at video games. His cousin had always been the perfect child, and he thought he could always win at video games.

Lu Yuqi was full of confidence.

As it turned out, Gu Fei simply familiarized himself with the game rules and practiced for a while beforehand, and easily defeated him. He still remembers Gu Fei's calm expression to this day.

And he casually remarked, "It's pretty simple."

Tsk... He's really asking for a beating, but he can't beat him.

An Qingyan nodded in agreement, a hint of pride hidden in her calm tone, "Indeed, Gu Fei is quite amazing..." Not just amazing, Gu Fei is the most amazing, it seems there is nothing that can stump him.

Lu Yuqi: "..."

Damn! I accidentally ate another dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)!

"Yan Yan, Mom has finished cooking. You can bring your friends down for dinner now." Song Shuman knocked on the door outside the room.

An Qingyan replied, "Okay, we'll go down now!"

“Your mother is so gentle, unlike my mother,” Lu Yuqi said casually.

An Qingyan: "...Have you ever thought that she's only gentle with me?" One morning, he happened to see his mother calling his second brother, who was still in bed, to get up. The scene was quite violent.

"I need to use the restroom first, you can go down first."

"Okay, hurry up." Lu Yuqi put down the game controller, stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from his backside, and then turned and left. After leaving, he diligently asked Song Shuman, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"

"You're a guest, how can I ask you for help? Here's what we'll do: go and call An Jing down for dinner. He should be in the gym on the third floor. It's the second room on the right after turning the stairs."

"Okay," Lu Yuqi replied, and then walked towards the gym as Song Shuman had instructed.

The door was ajar, with a crack left open, allowing a clear view of the scene inside. From Lu Yuqi's perspective, he could only see An Jing's back.

The man was jogging on the treadmill. He was wearing loose sportswear, and his exposed arm lines were full of power. His muscles were firm but not bulky. He was tall with long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding a strong masculine aura.

Lu Yuqi stood outside for a moment before knocking on the door, then pushed it open and went in, looking at the person inside expressionlessly. "Auntie asked me to call you down for lunch."

Upon hearing this, An Jing turned off the treadmill, picked up the towel hanging around her neck to wipe the sweat from her face, and walked towards Lu Yuqi with a smile on her lips, "Why aren't you calling me Teacher An anymore?"

Lu Yuqi crossed his arms and leaned casually against the door frame. "You said the show is over, so I don't need to call you that anymore."

"Did I say that?" An Jing said casually, then looked down, grabbed the hem of his shirt, lifted it up, and casually wiped the sweat from his waist and abdomen with a towel.

Lu Yuqi's gaze fell upon that healthy, light tan skin and well-defined abdominal muscles, which looked sexy yet not over the top, and were very eye-catching.

The boy remained expressionless, but his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. Before the man could look up at him, he looked away and answered the question from before: "I already said that."

"Did I tell you...?" After wiping away his sweat, his shirt once again concealed the man's good physique. After he finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, stood in front of Lu Yuqi, and raised his hand to support himself on the door frame behind Lu Yuqi.

He looked down at the boy who was a little shorter than him and added slowly, "You are Yan Yan's friend, you can call me Brother An."

The two were very close. Lu Yuqi's body stiffened slightly, his heart skipped a few beats, and his jawline was taut. He looked at the man's deep and handsome face, so close that he could almost smell the man's scent.

He looked disgusted. "You smell of sweat. Stay away from me." After a pause, he uttered three words, one after another, with a hint of amusement in his voice: "An, brother, brother."

His voice was magnetic, yet it carried a youthful brightness, with the last syllable deliberately drawn out, giving it a captivating quality. However, his deep-set face was quite aggressive, like an untamed wild dog.

An Jing paused for a moment, his smile deepening. He only heard the words "Brother An" and completely ignored the first half of the sentence. He raised his hand and rubbed the little stray dog's head.

"Good girl."

Lu Yuqi looked somewhat stunned. He pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before waving the man's hand away. "Don't flirt with me." After saying that, he quickly turned and walked outside.

An Jing stood there for a moment, his handsome brows slightly furrowed, as if trying to understand what the other person had just said. Was he flirting? Wasn't he just teasing the puppy?

He grimaced as if he had a toothache. What on earth was Lu Yuqi thinking?

An Qingyan came out of the bathroom, looked at his phone, and saw that Gu Fei had not yet replied to his WeChat messages, probably busy. He thought of what Lu Yuqi had said.

Gu Fei is very good at playing games.

And that line... "Husband."

The boy's lips curled up slightly, and a mischievous glint flashed in his clear, peach-blossom eyes, like a child about to play a prank. Then he opened Gu Fei's chat page.

After clearing his throat, he pressed the voice button and sent a voice message. After listening to it once, his cheeks started to burn, and he became embarrassed again.

That's just...that's...that...!

No, we'd better withdraw immediately!

Meanwhile, in a city thousands of kilometers away from Nancheng, Gu Fei gave his assistant a few instructions. After the assistant turned and left, he turned on his phone, and the screen was still showing An Qingyan's chat page.

He looked at the text message the other person had sent several minutes earlier, along with a cute emoji.

A smile flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to reply, another voice message came in. Without thinking much about it, he immediately tapped it.

The boy's gentle and clear voice came through the phone speaker into the man's ears: "Yuqi said you're really good at games, can you teach me... honey?"

husband?

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he couldn't help but smile subtly.

He wanted to listen to the voice message again, but the other party suddenly withdrew it.
