Li Yuheng stared at his phone screen, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up.
He tapped the screen lightly, liked the trending topic #ShuBaiTerminatesContractWithXingYao#, and then casually reposted it to his own Weibo:
Congratulations on terminating your contract! @Shubai has a bright future ahead! [sun emoji]
Not content with just posting, he opened the comments section and added: "[Some people shouldn't speculate; they have their own plans. [doge emoji]]"
The comment section exploded instantly:
Holy crap! The main character is giving us some sweet moments!
【Hengzi, what inside information do you know?!】
[This tone... could it be that they want to sign with your studio?]
【No, no, no, no! This is clearly the tone of an official announcement!】
Li Yuheng's lips curled up higher and higher as he thought to himself: These silly netizens probably don't know that Shu Bai won't be signed by any company anymore. Shu Bai is retiring from the entertainment industry and is going to live a secluded life in the countryside with him!
A mechanical voice from 0090 sounded softly: "Your Highness, when did Ren Shubai say he wanted to live a secluded life in the countryside with you?"
Li Yuheng said solemnly, "He said it in his heart, and because we are of one mind, I heard it."
0090: [...]
Li Yuheng thought it over and over and it seemed more and more reasonable. He continued to build up a wonderful plan in his mind: "Look, he terminated his contract and is going back to his hometown to farm. Of course I have to go with him. Otherwise, how tiring would it be for him to farm all by himself? I can help him plow, water, and fertilize, and I can also raise a few chickens and ducks, and build a small pond for fishing..."
0090: [Young Master, do you know how to farm?]
Li Yuheng: "No, but I can learn."
0090: […Wow, as expected of the male lead.]
Li Yuheng said "Mm" indifferently.
Just then, my phone vibrated, and a notification popped up on Weibo reminding me to follow this account.
@Shubai: I've terminated my contract, I'm free now, and I'm going back home to farm.

The comment section exploded instantly:
[Farming?]
【No, bro, are you serious???】
[Ahhh, no! She's just been cleared of wrongdoing and she's already leaving the entertainment industry?!]
Meanwhile, Shu Bai's WeChat Moments was also updated, but compared to Weibo, it included a screenshot of a plane ticket.
Li Yuheng glanced at the time; there was still half an hour before boarding.
He had checked when he changed his ticket with Shu Bai. The place was beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, and it was a great place to live in seclusion.
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. Li Yuheng got up and paced back and forth in the VIP waiting room, already plotting how to persuade Shu Bai to come with him.
Option 1: Stick to your guns and go there anyway, then figure out a solution once you get there.
Option 2: Pretend to bump into her by chance and say, "Oh, what a coincidence, Professor Shubai, you're here on vacation too?"
Option 3: Be direct and say, "Teacher Shubai, I want to farm with you."
...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the third option was the most reliable, but then he thought again that he was afraid that Shu Bai would just kick him into the ditch.
Just as I was struggling with this decision, my phone suddenly vibrated.
[Jiang Wei]: [Image]
He clicked on it and saw that it was a screenshot of a Weibo post from Jiang Wei.
#Li Yuheng and Shu Bai's Same Flight# Explosion
[Is Hengzi going to leave with Shubai?]
Holy crap! Is he really retiring from the entertainment industry and going into seclusion?!
Help! What kind of elopement literature is this?!
Li Yuheng: "..."
He immediately replied to Jiang Wei: 【Did you send this?】
Jiang Wei replied instantly: [Bullshit! You liked, shared, and commented on it yourself; netizens dug it up!]
Li Yuheng clicked his tongue, switched back to Weibo, and found that his post "Congratulations on your contract termination" had been forwarded millions of times, with the comments section full of speculation about whether he and Shu Bai were going to retire from the entertainment industry together.
He touched his chin and suddenly smiled.
That's good, it saves him the trouble of explaining.
Anyway... Shu Bai will eventually have to get used to being tied to him.
He happily put away his phone, deciding to send Shu Bai another message before boarding the plane.
[A dog carrying a rose.jpg]
Shu Bai did not reply.
Li Yuheng wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely boarded the plane, sat in first class, closed his eyes to rest, and began to fantasize about the wonderful life he and Shubai would have in the countryside farming.
At dawn, he carried a hoe, and Shu Bai carried a water bottle. The two walked side by side on the ridge of the field, their trouser legs damp with morning dew, and wisps of smoke rising in the distance...
At noon, he squatted in the yard eating his rice, and Shu Bai glanced at him with disdain, but still put a piece of meat on his plate...
At night, he lay in his rocking chair counting stars, while Shu Bai sat beside him brewing tea. The aroma of tea mingled with the night breeze, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere…
Then……
Shu Bai was in charge of planting vegetables, while he was in charge of stealing them.
Shu Bai was in charge of cooking, and he was in charge of sneaking the food.
Shu Bai was in charge of raising the chickens, while he was in charge of stealing the eggs;
Perfect division of labor!
...
The more Li Yuheng thought about it, the more he felt that life was incredibly wonderful, and he couldn't help but smile.
The flight attendant approached, smiling, and asked, "Sir, would you like a blanket?"
Li Yuheng opened his eyes and nodded in a very good mood: "Yes, thank you."
My phone suddenly vibrated just after the flight attendant left.
Shu Bai finally replied.
【roll. 】
Li Yuheng stared at the word for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.
He typed slowly: "[Teacher Shubai, this attitude won't do. We're about to become neighbors.]"
Sparse white space: [?]
Li Yuheng: [What a coincidence, by some twist of fate, we're on the same flight.]
Sparse white space: [...]
Li Yuheng: [Besides, I checked, your hometown has beautiful scenery, suitable for retirement.]
Shu Bai: [Li Yuheng.]
Li Yuheng: [Hmm?]
Shu Bai: [Are you sick?]
Li Yuheng stared at the message, his smile deepening.
He tapped the screen with his fingertip and replied slowly and deliberately.
【Yes, I have. 】
Lovesickness.
After sending the message, he immediately turned off his phone, leaned back in his chair, and pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed.
Anyway... Shu Bai can't jump ship now.
What happens after landing?
If all else fails, he'll just pester her relentlessly; that's exactly what Li Yuheng excels at.
The plane slowly taxied onto the runway, its engines roaring.
Li Yuheng closed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.
This chase has only just begun.
…
"Teacher Shubai, it's stuffy, I don't want to wear it."
"Then don't sit down, get off."
"Then help me put it on."
"Don't you have hands?"
"...Tsk."
Li Yuheng took the helmet and put it on, his fingertips lightly brushing against the strap, deliberately rubbing against the back of his pale hand.
Shu Bai immediately withdrew his hand, frowned slightly, and turned to get on his motorcycle.
Amidst the roar of the engine, Li Yuheng took advantage of the situation and wrapped his arms around Shu Bai's waist, feeling the warmth of her palms through the thin fabric.
Shu Bai slammed on the gas pedal, and the motorcycle shot off like an arrow. Li Yuheng was thrown backward by the inertia, and then quickly pressed against Shu Bai's back, his nose brushing against the stubble of hair on the back of his neck.
When exactly did things start to get out of control?
When Li Yuheng shamelessly followed Shu Bai out of the airport?
Was it when he pretended to be asleep on the bus, rubbing his head against Shu Bai's shoulder?
It was when he dragged his suitcase all the way to Shu Bai's doorstep, pitifully saying, "Teacher Shu Bai, I don't know anyone here, how can you bear to let me sleep on the streets?"
Shu Bai never said "get out" from beginning to end; he simply silently acquiesced to everything.
Let him board the plane with you, let him lean on your shoulder, and even let him go inside to put his luggage down.
Now, this young master has gone too far and has even put his arm around Shu Bai's waist.
System 0090 watched all this and fell completely silent.
Li Yuheng's narcissistic quotes seem to be true.
