Chapter 151 Becoming Lovers

Lu Yinzhao's head was buzzing, and it seemed as if there were echoes in his ears.

Pick me.

Pick me... Pick me...

Bian Ji's words seemed to have struck a valley, replaying in his ears on a slow, repetitive motion.

A slight tingling and damp sensation lingered on my lips.

Is he still asleep?

Perhaps this is just a dream!

How could Bian Ji possibly say such a thing?

He said that the strange feeling he had today was actually in his dream.

Did he dream of being kissed again? Only this time, he saw the face of the person kissing him clearly—it was Bian Ji without a doubt.

Bian Ji saw that Lu Yinzhao was still confused, and didn't care whether the other party was frightened or not.

His expression was sincere and resolute. "If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes. I want to kiss you now, and you can push me away anytime."

The boy's pupils constricted, and he opened his mouth to explain, but his lips were sealed by the man's again.

Today, Bian Ji was like a starving wolf, finally getting to eat the meat he had been longing for.

The tip of the tongue slowly pries open the jaw, conquering territory and stirring up a storm.

The two were originally sitting, but somehow they ended up standing, with the boy pinned against the wall and his head forced back.

Despite Lu Yinzhao's efforts to grow taller over the years, he is still a head shorter than Bian Ji.

Her arms rested limply on Bian Ji's chest, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Such behavior undoubtedly encourages Bian Ji to continue his actions.

He cupped Lu Yinzhao's cheeks in his hands, deepening the kiss with a trembling hand.

He had been suppressing his feelings for Lu Yinzhao for far too long, and had been restraining himself ever since he had those thoughts.

Because he was afraid of hurting the other person, he wanted to take it slow.

Bian Ji, who is usually rational and composed in life, seems to be possessed by another personality today, acting radically and recklessly.

He didn't want to hear from Lu Yinzhao how perfect other men were; he wanted Lu Yinzhao to only have eyes for him.

The surging possessiveness was like a flood bursting through a dam, rolling outwards uncontrollably.

I don’t know if they can maintain their close relationship after today, but Bian Ji’s mind is too busy to think about such things right now.

Lu Yinzhao, who was being kissed by him, was also feeling unwell.

He felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, faster than ever before.

The intense and frequent kisses brought his senses to a peak, and some physiological tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

He opened his eyes a crack and saw Bian Ji's crazed and decadent appearance for the first time.

It's a bit astringent...

If this is a dream, then he doesn't want to wake up.

The warmth on her hands, the dampness on her lips, and the cool fragrance on her nose all felt incredibly real.

Especially that suffocating feeling that rushes to your brain...

This confirmed for Lu Yinzhao that Bian Ji had indeed confessed his feelings to him.

Does Bian Ji like himself?

How come he didn't notice at all?

No, perhaps there are some clues.

On that stage during the show's finale, there were those completely revised lyrics, and that deep, affectionate gaze fixed on him...

Perhaps she was subtly confessing her feelings to him at that time.

Lu Yinzhao felt a mix of emotions, wanting to both cry and laugh; she was happy.

The greatest happiness in the world is when the person you like also likes you.

If he had known Bian Ji's feelings for him from the beginning, why would he have been so depressed? He was just worrying unnecessarily.

He inadvertently provoked Bian Ji, causing her to open up and express her true feelings.

This idiot, can't he tell that the "person he liked" he was praising was actually him?

I never expected that Bian Ji could be so confused.

Lu Yinzhao was secretly overjoyed.

Bian Ji noticed Lu Yinzhao's momentary distraction and lack of focus, and lightly bit his lower lip as if to punish him.

Lu Yinzhao blinked and couldn't help but hiss.

He pushed Bian Ji away with displeasure and glared at him.

Feeling the resistance, Bian Ji immediately released his lips.

He just said that Lu Yinzhao could push him away at any time if he didn't like it.

The moment Bian Ji released Lu Yinzhao, he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

Lu Yinzhao listened to the "sorry" that was said so confidently, which was completely in the manner of "I was wrong, but I will do it again next time".

Lu Yinzhao gasped for breath, desperately trying to relieve the suffocating feeling of having her breathing stolen.

He muttered irritably, "Can't you just let me finish what I have to say?"

The boy's lips became even redder and brighter from the passionate kiss.

Bian Ji raised his hand and used his thumb to wipe away the few physiological tears at the corner of Lu Yinzhao's eyes.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid my heart will explode if I listen any longer. You're praising that person so highly, I'll get jealous."

Bian Ji's mood gradually improved when she realized that the boy hadn't rejected her immediately.

Does this mean that Lu Yinzhao is also considering being with him?

Lu Yinzhao was completely taken aback by Bian Ji's direct approach.

After confessing her feelings, Bian Ji felt as if her meridians had been opened, and those heart-pounding, blush-inducing words just came out of her mouth effortlessly.

Bian Ji, who is usually not very talkative, is still producing content today.

"Lu Yinzhao, I'll ask you one more time: are you willing to be with me?"

Lu Yinzhao was certainly willing, but at this moment he rebelliously didn't want to give a direct answer.

He asked, "Haven't you always treated me like a younger brother? Why the sudden change..."

"Starting today, I won't. I want you to be my boyfriend, and I want to marry you and spend my life with you. If you don't agree, I'll pursue you, and then... um."

Lu Yinzhao reached out and covered Bian Ji's mouth, her ears turning so red they were almost bleeding.

"Alright, stop talking."

Lu Yinzhao was somewhat overwhelmed by Bian Ji's direct attack.

Is this still Bian Ji? It's like he's been possessed by another person's soul.

Bian Ji was still waiting for Lu Yinzhao's reply, staring at the person in front of him with his eyes growing deeper and deeper.

Lu Yinzhao knew he was finished; he had completely fallen into Bian Ji's hands.

From the moment he was confessed to, his defenses had already crumbled completely.

Now, they're bombarding the other person with sweet nothings. Who could resist that?

Lu Yinzhao lowered his hand, then leaned over and slowly wrapped his arms around Bian Ji's waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.

She said softly, "I promise you, so please stop overthinking, okay?"

Joy gradually welled up in Bian Ji's eyes. He raised his arm and hugged the boy's body even tighter, as if he wanted to meld the other into his very bones.

"Didn't you realize at all that I was talking about you?" Lu Yinzhao finally asked the question, forcing a bitter smile.

Bian Ji remained silent in response, “…”

"It's also my fault for not having the courage to explain things to you directly. Now I want to change my form of address and say it again."

"..."

"Bian Ji, I want to be with you, I want to be your lover, and I want to walk with you forever, never to be apart."

The words were the same as before, only now "he" was replaced with "you".

Bian Ji was also stunned. He was probably out of his mind from staying up all night. He considered everyone around Lu Yinzhao, but he never thought of himself.

He underestimated the speed at which Lu Yinzhao's feelings were developing.

Bian Ji thought that the boy had only been enlightened for a week, so there was no way he could fall in love with her so quickly.

Unexpectedly...

This farcical outcome, while absurd and hilarious, was something both of them were happy to see.

The moment their eyes met again, they couldn't help but smile.

The boy's eyebrows curved into crescent moons, and his eyes shone with an inescapable starlight.

Bian Ji's expression, which had been cold and hard all day, became the most tender and gentle at this moment.

"If your fans knew you were with me, they would definitely tear me apart."

For people in the entertainment industry, dating is a big deal.

Needless to say, idols are another story, but even the public announcement of some actors' and singers' relationships can cause some public opinion storms.

"I'll inform my agent about our situation. He'll handle the public relations, so you don't need to worry. If you want to go public now, I'll do it immediately..."

"Wait, wait! Don't!" Lu Yinzhao panicked.

Today, Bian Ji was like a wild horse, completely out of control. Lu Yinzhao was afraid that she might impulsively post on Weibo: "I have a boyfriend." Then @Bright.L.

That was absolutely terrifying.

"No rush... I'm still a student. I'll finish my studies first. I don't want to become high-profile."

Bian Ji was naturally aware of Lu Yinzhao's considerations. He had just used an analogy, but he didn't expect it to frighten Lu Yinzhao so much.

Bian Ji reached out and touched the boy's hair. "Let nature take its course."

"Um."

Bian Ji doesn't present a single persona to the public; if someone asks, he'll tell the truth.

Now that he had decided to be with Lu Yinzhao, he wouldn't let her suffer any injustice.

Nowadays, many celebrities are ruined in order to maintain their public image. The moment they fall from grace, the love of their fans will turn into the most terrifying blade and stab them back.

Bian Ji wants to develop his career in the entertainment industry, but he is very clear about what he wants to do.

If he forgot his original intention in order to gain fans, then he wouldn't have entered this industry in the first place. Wouldn't it have been more comfortable for him to just go home and be the young master of the Bian Group?

He was quietly writing songs when no one paid attention to him before, so there's no reason for him to get arrogant now that he's become a little famous.

To be honest, Bian Ji doesn't really feel the impact of his popularity; he still has the same mindset as before.

He only wanted to do his best to make every song the best he could.

Bian Ji took Lu Yinzhao's hand, their fingers interlacing and interlocking.

"Come eat here often from now on, at least three times a week, okay?" Bian Ji said.

Perhaps after today, he will feel miserable if he doesn't see Lu Yinzhao for even a day.

Lu Yinzhao blushed and agreed, whispering, "Every day... that's actually possible."

Anyway, since we live very close by, even if he's busy, he can always find time to come over.

It's probably going to get out of the way with my roommates.

Bian Ji kissed the back of his hand. "After this album is finished, I'll take a break for a while. It'll be perfect timing since you're on winter break. I want to take you on a trip."

"Great!" Lu Yinzhao's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer again.

He behaved just like he did when he was a child, his clinging to Bianji was incredibly natural.

This time, however, their relationship underwent a different kind of change; it was a different level of intimacy.

Lu Yinzhao is really happy today.

Yesterday I was feeling lonely because I was all alone, but today I've quickly found someone.

Was it because of Long Xiaoman's arrival that things changed?

Xiaoman is truly his lucky star!

I'll tell him this good news later! Lu Yinzhao thought to himself.

Immediately, she looked up and met Bian Ji's eyes, which were filled with a smile.

"Zhaozhao, I am so lucky to have met you in this life."

Lu Yinzhao was momentarily dazed; the "Zhaozhao" she heard now overlapped with the voice in her dream.

Fantasy is no longer fantasy, and bubbles have turned into a real rainbow.
