Li Xiangze pushed him away and turned his head to the side: "I'll go to your room to wash."

Xiao Mingyang held him back: "No, let's go together."

"Wash it yourself." Li Xiangze struggled, but it was no use.

Xiao Mingyang put his arm around his waist, pressed hard against him, and said, "I'm still drunk!"

He rested his head on the other person's shoulder, and his whole body was wrapped in the other person's breath, feeling extremely hot.

"You don't look like you're not awake," Li Xiangze pulled the hand clasped around his waist, "Let go, you're hurting me."

Xiao Mingyang's mind got hot, and he put his lips close to the other person's ear and whispered: "Brother Aze, please help me..."

Li Xiangze lowered his head due to the heat of his breath. He tightened his grip on Xiao Mingyang's hand and pursed his lips, "How can I help?"

Xiao Mingyang didn't expect the other party to agree. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, his lips pressed against the other party's neck, and his hand held the other party's hand: "Like this..."

Xiao Mingyang leaned forward and slowly sucked Li Xiangze's lips, guiding his hand from his Adam's apple down: "Aze, you're so nice..."

Li Xiangze then realized what the other party was going to do. He turned his head away, pulled his hand free, and casually pulled a bath towel around his waist: "I'll go to your room to wash."

He ran out of the bathroom without even wearing shoes.

Xiao Mingyang looked at the closed door, rubbed his face, and reached out to turn on the faucet.

The moment the water fell on him, he jumped up, and all the shower gel and shampoo were dropped to the ground by his hands, making a loud noise: "Oh my god!"

Then he immediately turned off the faucet and stared blankly at the shower head.

So... Aze was taking a cold shower just now?

He asked why there was no steam in the bathroom.

The bathroom door opened again. Li Xiangze was still wrapped in the towel, looking nervous. "Where did you fall?"

Xiao Mingyang turned his head stiffly and forced a smile on his face: "I didn't fall."

Li Xiangze looked helpless.

Well, the wine is probably still not fully sober.

He sighed, "Go lie down in the bathtub in your room and I'll wash you."

“No need…”

Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "You want to stand?"

"...Then just lie down."

＊

Li Xiangze sat on the edge of the bathtub, let the other person put his head on his thighs, and washed his hair skillfully.

Xiao Mingyang looked up at him, his eyes sparkling and a smile on his face.

His eyes were too bright for Li Xiangze to ignore, and his fingertips would touch the other's skin from time to time, which made him distracted.

Li Xiangze gritted his teeth and said, "Close your eyes."

"Oh." Xiao Mingyang was very obedient.

Li Xiangze forced himself to ignore Xiao Mingyang's facial features and washed his hair like he was washing an animal.

But her eyes couldn't help but drift to his face, imitating his eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips with her eyes, and the temperature in her body increased instead of decreasing.

Xiao Mingyang was more obedient than usual when he closed his eyes. The water vapor in the air moistened his lips, and a few small drops of water hung on his eyelashes.

Li Xiangze bit his lower lip.

Hold on.

Xiao Mingyang suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you okay?"

"Wait a moment." Li Xiangze's voice was lower than before, with a hint of hoarseness.

Xiao Mingyang noticed that something was wrong with the other person, so he grabbed his hand and kissed it: "Aze, you feel very uncomfortable, right?" He kissed the other person's wrist again, "Can I help you?"

Li Xiangze understood the meaning of help this time. He looked at the foamy water and said, "You help yourself first... Yeah!"

…

Li Xiangze was pulled into the bathtub, accepting the other party's hungry wolf-like kiss and feeling the overwhelming happiness.

Xiao Mingyang bit the mole on the corner of his lip: "Aze...can you call me?"

"Hmm... little lamb..."

Xiao Mingyang leaned over and kissed her, and said vaguely as he kissed her: "I like this name, call me more often..."

…

It was already past 1 o'clock when they returned to bed. They slept together and had a good night's sleep.

The next day.

They were woken by a phone call.

"I'm saying this, didn't you two read the messages sent in the group yesterday?" Bai Tao's voice came from the phone.

"What news?" Xiao Mingyang was still sleepy and his voice was lazy.

"You two stayed up late last night," Bai Tao said with a sigh. "My sister is having a movie premiere today, and she's inviting the whole class to watch it."

"The one where your sister played the female lead for the first time?" Xiao Mingyang yawned and got up from the bed.

Li Xiangze was still lying there, staring at him in a daze.

"Yeah, if you dare to tell me you don't want to go, I'll come up with a Gatling gun."

"How is that possible?" Xiao Mingyang smiled and pinched Li Xiangze's face. The more he looked at her, the cuter she looked. He leaned over and gave his wife a kiss on the mouth, saying stickyly, "Baby, wake up."

"Fuck you," Bai Tao said with disgust, "I'll give you 20 minutes. Hurry down and get downstairs. I'm hanging up."

＊

Bai Zhi has been in the entertainment industry for several years. She is picky about scripts, but the scripts she likes do not allow her to play the leading role. Her parents have thought about spending money, but she refused.

Xiao Mingyang also took her to meet his uncle Xiao Nansheng, but the other party was known for his high demands, so he politely declined.

She worked hard all the way and her acting skills improved step by step. Finally, last year she got a movie that she was satisfied with and the director was willing to let her play the leading role.

This movie is a suspenseful mystery, which is the type that Li Xiangze likes.

I was hooked right from the start, staring at the screen without blinking, completely absorbed.

Xiao Mingyang held the popcorn and looked around, and found that everyone was staring at the screen intently. He secretly reached out to Li Xiangze, grabbed his hand, and clasped their fingers together.

The other party seemed not to notice and was still staring at the screen.

Xiao Mingyang was a little depressed.

Don’t you have any attractive movies?

He pouted, put the popcorn aside, and poked his boyfriend's face with his free hand.

The other party did take action.

She held his troublesome hand and said in a child-like tone, "Stop making trouble."

Xiao Mingyang curled his lips again and was about to clear his name when he caught two gazes out of the corner of his eye.

Two pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Xiao Mingyang felt guilty and felt that he was doomed.

He touched his nose and sat up straight, but he still didn't let go of his interlocked hands: "Oh..."

The movie is over.

Bai Zhi walked to the front of the screen, took the microphone and invited the students out for dinner.

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Mingyang.

The look was so lethal that Xiao Mingyang didn't dare to look at her directly, so he could only silently feed popcorn to his partner.

The restaurant Bai Zhi booked was not far from the cinema. It was a club they often went to and was owned by the Bai family.

The brother and sister arranged their classmates, and as expected, they called Xiao Mingyang to go to the balcony.

"Master Xiao," Bai Zhi squinted her eyes as she folded her hands and looked at him, "You are really famous in the circle now."

Xiao Mingyang smiled and said, "We boarding students don't pay attention to the outside world and focus on reading the books of sages."

"Don't beat around the bush with us." Bai Tao narrowed his eyes.

Bai Zhi stretched out a hand to press his shoulder: "If you lift your butt, we will know what fart you are going to fart."

Xiao Mingyang patted Bai Zhi's shoulder and said earnestly: "Big stars, what nonsense are you talking about? It really ruins their image..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Bai Zhi slapped his hand away. "A while ago, Liu Jichang spread rumors that you were gay, or that you were supporting a classmate. Are you really clueless?"

Xiao Mingyang's expression immediately turned cold, and he licked his back teeth: "Did he tell me that I'm supporting someone?"

Bai Zhi nodded: "Well, your boyfriend's name is Li Xiangze, right?"

"Fuck," Xiao Mingyang's forehead veins popped, "How come I didn't hear anything?"

"Why else?" Bai Tao lit a cigarette. "Your father Bai helped you with it."

Bai Zhi clicked her tongue and slapped her brother on the head: "Still hitting!"

Bai Tao put out his cigarette with a look of resentment on his face: "At least let me act cool..."

"How did you settle it?" Xiao Mingyang suppressed his anger.

Bai Tao looked at his sister guiltily: "He put her in a sack and beat her up... But I didn't do it! I was the one who found her."

Xiao Mingyang frowned: "He was rushed to the hospital?"

"How dare I? It's just a superficial wound." Bai Tao said.

"He didn't come to see you?" Bai Zhi also heard something was wrong.

"I go from school to cram school and home every day. Even if I go out to hang out with Fuzi and the others, there is a driver to pick me up. He won't have a chance." Bai Tao was quite proud.

Xiao Mingyang frowned: "Have you told the people in your circle about our class's team building today?"

Bai Tao thought for a moment, "A few people wanted to invite me out for drinks today, but I turned them down. I don't remember if they told me anything, but it was five or six days ago..." He suddenly realized, "Are you afraid that Liu Jichang will come and cause trouble?"

"You really treat my wife as a Japanese!" Xiao Mingyang turned around and ran to the box.

Bai Zhi looked at her brother with dismay: "You really have been with Fuzi for too long."

"No," Bai Tao scratched his head. "I didn't do anything before Li Xiangze recognized his godfather and godmother. I just threatened him. I only took action after I confirmed that they had recognized each other. Liu Jichang is not that bold..."

Bai Zhi looked at her brother speechlessly while dialing the phone: "Then may I ask, are Li Xiangze's godfather and godmother around now?"

Bai Tao's tone weakened: "At least you have a status, you dare not move..."

"No, Bai Tao, where's your brain? Think about it carefully. A boy with no name, no status, and no background is suddenly adopted as the godson by the Xiao family one day. It just so happens that the son of the Xiao family has come out. What do you think the meaning of this 'godson' is? With this meaning, what does the status mean?" Bai Zhi knocked his head in frustration.

Bai Tao stood there in a daze.

He really didn't think that deeply.

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at her brother, and the phone finally connected: "Did Liu Jichang come to the club today... Yes, don't let him go out... Which private room is he in... Okay, got it."

＊

As Xiao Mingyang rushed to the private room, he called the old man, "Is Li Xiangze still in the room?"

"No, I was just called out."

Xiao Mingyang gritted his teeth: "Fuck."

It's still too late.

There was a little chaos on the old man's end, and then it was suddenly quiet: "I'm going to chase him out. I'll enable location sharing for you. Don't disconnect the call."

Xiao Mingyang connected to the location sharing and rushed towards the location on the map.

"What happened?" asked the old man.

Xiao Mingyang said simply and clearly: "Li Xiangze is in danger."
