Chapter 79 Male Bodhisattva
Ji Zhi Qiu was extremely worried about Lu Yu Nian, but he couldn't say it outright in front of the camera. He could only lower his voice and ask cryptically, "Have you ever slept in the same bed with other friends before?"
Lu Yunian looked down at him.
"friend?"
"Have you slept in the same bed?"
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded heavily, giving various hints with his eyes.
“If there is a relationship similar to ours, there is one.” Lu Yu Nian’s eyes were unfathomable, filled with something indescribable.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't understand Lu Yu Nian's gaze, nor did she connect it to herself.
"Back then..."
Lu Yu Nian sleeps so well. Last night, even though he did *that* and *that*, Lu Yu Nian didn't wake up. Maybe if he had an even more shameless friend, Lu Yu Nian would lose his innocence.
As her thoughts raced, Ji Zhi Qiu realized the seriousness of the problem and wanted to give him a few more words of advice.
Lu Yu Nian then changed the subject, "Just kidding, I don't have many friends and I don't have that kind of opportunity."
Ji Zhi Qiu pointed to his nose, "So you mean it's just me?"
It's just you, but not just this once.
Ji Zhi Qiu was lost in her own world. She gave Lu Yu Nian a deep look and said, "I have something to tell you when we get back to the room tonight."
"What did you say?"
Seeing the two's intimate actions, the camera, under the director's control, shot towards them at an extremely fast speed, almost hitting Ji Zhi Qiu on the head because it couldn't stop in time.
Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."
The tense atmosphere vanished instantly. Ji Zhi Qiu glanced at the camera speechlessly, then tapped it twice lightly. "Do you have a portable camera? From now on, when we talk, I'll hold the camera between us and treat it like my fourth child."
After a three-second silence, the camera quietly pulled back, like a wronged child running away without a word.
Ji Zhi Qiu stopped dwelling on the topic, but was still preparing for her apology that evening.
A verbal apology lacks sincerity; he needs to both appease Lu Yu Nian and firmly express his determination to repent.
But at this moment, while recording a program, he was free to move around. Ji Zhi Qiu's gaze swept around and suddenly set his sights on the production team.
Although today's task was completed, the production team left a surprise by setting up a special task.
The details of the special mission are classified, the personnel are not fixed, and it is limited to two people, but the reward is public.
This city is the hometown of lilies, and there is a particularly precious variety. The director spared no expense, as this precious flower can be obtained by completing a special mission.
He wanted to use this to motivate the guests, something Ji Zhi Qiu would never have missed in the past. But today he was preoccupied with other things and absent-minded, forgetting to look for clues. In other words, if he wanted to complete the special mission, he would have to wait for someone else to invite him.
So who received the invitation?
First, we can rule out Wen Qizheng. He's been so distracted all day that his eyes are glazed over. Ji Yanyan is still clinging to him, insisting that Wen Qizheng teach him to sing. Wen Qizheng comes from an artistic family with a deep family tradition of learning. How could the director miss such a memorable scene? He immediately set up several cameras to zoom in on him.
There were a total of eight cameras, the same treatment as when filming a kissing scene, which can be considered a sign of respect.
Wen Qizheng didn't show joy. Some people are alive but already dead. Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't bear to watch any longer and silently looked away.
With only Lin Jinzhao and Zhao Fuke remaining as targets, Ji Zhiqi originally intended to test them, but unexpectedly, Zhao Fuke took the initiative to come over and extend an invitation.
Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up. "Great! Just the two of us?"
Zhao Fuke nodded aloofly.
With the numbers matching up, he was now absolutely certain of success; Zhao Fuke had definitely invited him to participate in a special mission.
Ji Zhi Qiu wasn't narcissistic; he genuinely felt that Zhao Fu Ke's choice of him was extremely wise.
With excellent physical strength, good intelligence, and a quick mind, he can definitely complete special operations with his assistance.
Zhao Fuke comes from a wealthy family and is used to seeing rare and precious plants. He won't miss out on one or two flowers, and will definitely share half with him when the time comes.
Ji Zhi Qiu immediately stood up and said impatiently, "Then let's go."
Zhao Fuke initially led the way, but Ji Zhiqi thought he was too slow, so she chased after him for a few steps, and the two walked side by side.
Zhao Fuke noticed Ji Zhiqi's actions, a slight smile curving his lips as he glanced down at him with an air of self-assured confidence.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't notice the change in Zhao Fu Ke's attitude. Her mind was preoccupied with the precious flower, and she dutifully observed her surroundings, pondering what arrangements the director would make.
Just then, Zhao Fuke suddenly spoke up, "Your three children have very different personalities, yet you have raised them very well."
Ji Zhi Qiu was taken aback when he heard this and looked at Zhao Fu Ke in surprise.
He had assumed Zhao Fuke was aloof and arrogant, but to his surprise, Zhao Fuke would lower himself and engage in mutual compliments with him.
This is an essential quality for adults. Ji Zhiqi said casually, "Children are always the best in their parents' eyes. I respect their individual development and we get along quite well. Your son is also very good. He has a kind of excellence that is beyond his age. You can tell that he comes from a good family."
Zhao Fuke nodded: "I do care about his growth, but because I'm busy with work, I missed some important moments in his development. I'm planning to remarry and want to find someone who can educate children and accompany him as he grows up."
Ji Zhi Qiu had the words of agreement on the tip of her tongue, but she slowly swallowed them back down.
Before this, he had exchanged no more than five sentences with Zhao Fuke, and their relationship was distant. Why would Zhao Fuke tell him such a private matter?
Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only force a smile, "So you're from a single-parent family like me. I thought..."
Zhao Fuke suddenly interrupted him, his brows furrowing slightly, "You didn't know all this time?"
Ji Zhi Qiu scratched the back of his head, trying to lighten the mood with a joke: "Should I know? Hahaha."
Zhao Fuke's dark, serious eyes were fixed on him for a few seconds before he looked away: "It's normal that you didn't know, but now you do."
Ji Zhi Qiu: ""
He really didn't know how to respond, but Zhao Fuke didn't hear a reply and stared at him with dissatisfaction. Ji Zhiqi could only bite the bullet and say, "That's great. You're so young and have excellent qualities in all aspects. You're sure to find someone you like."
"What about you? You've been single for so long, have you ever thought about finding someone again?"
Ji Zhi Qiu suddenly relaxed upon hearing this.
He had seen this scene before; parents would always gather in twos and threes to chat when picking up their children from school. However, this was so out of place with Zhao Fuke's noble image that he hadn't thought of it before.
He instantly switched to a casual tone, "Maybe, these things are a matter of fate, but if I meet the right person, I can consider it."
"So what kind do you like?"
Just as Ji Zhi Qiu was about to speak, a scene suddenly appeared before her eyes.
It wasn't a specific person, but someone he had seen at least twice, touched once, and even buried his face in.
Everyone else is heterosexual or homosexual, but he's different—he's a masochist...
Ji Zhi Qiu felt hopeless, so he put on a fake smile and said dryly, "I really haven't considered it."
"Then you must have some requirements, right?" For some reason, Zhao Fuke kept pressing this question.
Ji Zhi Qiu could only vaguely say, "I hope the other person is a normal human being."
Zhao Fuke didn't understand his humor and frowned slightly. "What kind of request is this?"
Ji Zhi Qiu shook his head, his expression unreadable. "That's actually a very high requirement."
Zhao Fuke felt he couldn't find common ground with him on this matter and remained silent.
Ji Zhi Qiu looked at him with bright eyes, hoping he would speak again.
Let's talk about something related to the mission, stop with the idle chatter!
Zhao Fuke seemed to have lost some of his impression of him because of his previous answer. He pursed his lips unhappily and refused to speak again. Ji Zhi Qiu thought that he was just there to freeload on the mission, so he didn't say much either. The two of them walked forward in silence.
They finally arrived at the mission location, and Zhao Fuke pointed to the ladder and said, "Climb up."
Ji Zhi Qiu took a deep breath. She hadn't expected the production team to go to such lengths. Were they going to make them fly over walls?
He adjusted to his optimal state, his attention was focused, his muscles were tense due to hormone secretion, and his sharp eyes observed his surroundings, always on guard against potential dangers.
Zhao Fuke remained elegant in every move. After climbing up, he looked at his palm with disgust, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket, and leisurely wiped each of his fingers clean before throwing the handkerchief far away.
"What are you doing there? Sit here."
Ji Zhi Qiu finally received the mission notification and looked at Zhao Fu Ke expectantly.
Zhao Fuke noticed the gazes but pretended to ignore them, a smug look in his eyes, as if he enjoyed being watched.
Ji Zhi Qiu was so anxious she was almost bursting with anger. "And then?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Fuke said in a strange tone, "Since I've given you this opportunity, I won't go back on my word."
That makes sense; it's too late for Zhao Fuke to find another partner.
Ji Zhi Qiu also felt that she shouldn't let her emotions bother Zhao Fu Ke. So she smiled and sat down next to him, waiting for Zhao Fu Ke to speak again.
“I invited you to watch the sunset today.” Zhao Fuke seemed to see through him and said condescendingly, “So you don’t need to rush. I won’t leave until the sun sets.”
Ji Zhi Qiu: ? ? ?
It's raining red rain from the sky; the director is so kind as to give them such a simple task.
He asked in confusion, "That's it?"
Zhao Fuke gave him a cryptic look. "This is our first time spending time together in private. What else do you want?"
Spending time together in private?
What else do you want?
Ji Zhi Qiu was even more confused, feeling that he had misunderstood something. He was about to ask further when Zhao Fu Ke interrupted him again, "Three children are easy for you, but what about four?"
Out of politeness, Ji Zhi Qiu replied, "I took care of Qian Hua for a while before. That child is truly a top-tier human cub. I like her very much. Four should be no problem."
Zhao Fuke nodded, seemingly satisfied with his answer.
Ji Zhi Qiu finally got her chance to speak and asked, "After we receive our reward, can I have half of the flowers?"
"Flowers?" Zhao Fuke frowned, feeling that this was a very presumptuous request. After a few seconds, his brows gradually relaxed. "I think this is only our first time spending time together in private, so there's no need to send flowers. But if you need them, I can buy you a bouquet."
Ji Zhi Qiu was dumbfounded, feeling as if a bell had been placed over his head and struck him hard, shattering his thoughts.
"Weren't you inviting me to complete a special mission together? The reward for the mission is a rare and precious local flower, isn't that it?"
Zhao Fuke was even more confused than him: "Special mission? What's that?"
Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."
He then realized that he had misunderstood and wasted too much time. Now, it would probably be too late to complete the task.
To make matters worse, Ji Zhi Qiu suddenly heard someone calling from behind.
"Ji Zhi Qiu".
It wasn't Zhi Qiu or Qiu Qiu, but a three-character name. The voice was familiar, the tone gentle, yet it carried a hint of danger.
Ji Zhi Qiu froze abruptly, her body tensing up, an indescribable emotion spreading through her, a mixture of guilt and panic.
He did make a fool of himself, but what was he feeling guilty about?
He silently refuted this in his heart, but dared not show it on his face. He quickly turned his head with a sincere smile and asked, "Yu Nian, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yu Nian stood not far away, expressionless, looking up at him, while he was holding the famous flower that the production team had promised.
Ji Zhi Qiu closed her eyes tightly, wanting only to place her hands on her chest and sleep there forever.
Lu Yu Nian glanced at him without any expression of pleasure or anger, then shifted his gaze slightly to the left, landing on Zhao Fu Ke, but addressed him directly, "What are you two doing here?"
Hearing this, her hormones surged instantly, and Jiji Qiuqiu's legs went weak with panic. She didn't dare look Lu Yu Nian in the eye, "We're here..."
Zhao Fuke answered quickly, "Watching the sunset."
Ji Zhi Qiu clearly saw Lu Yu Nian smile.
A chill ran up his back, as slippery as a snake. Ji Zhiqi's nerves tensed instantly, and his instincts urged him to react immediately. He scrambled down the iron ladder, walked quickly to Lu Yu Nian, and subconsciously put on a flattering smile.
Lu Yu-nian's attitude was gentle and refined, making people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze. "The sunset is so beautiful, why don't you watch it a little longer?"
Ji Zhi Qiu shook her head repeatedly, saying things she didn't mean, "It's not pretty at all."
The fiery clouds spread across the horizon, bathing the entire world in warm hues. Ji Zhi Qiu, facing the light, had incredibly soft features, and with each blink, her eyelashes seemed to become translucent.
Lu Yu Nian suddenly spoke up, "I think it's very good."
Ji Zhi Qiu's survival instinct kicked in: "It's not good-looking at all."
Lu Yu Nian didn't dwell on the issue any further and politely asked, "Do you want to look at it again?"
Ji Zhi Qiu shook his head vigorously, quickly declaring his loyalty: "Wherever you're going, I'll go with you."
Lu Yunian didn't respond to him, but looked up at Zhao Fuke and said, "Then we'll head back first."
Lu Yunian and Zhao Fuke's eyes met briefly in mid-air, but no one noticed.
Lu Yunian turned and left, and Ji Zhi Qiu immediately followed, like a well-behaved little tail.
He kept staring longingly at Lu Yu Nian's back, wanting to go forward, but he felt incredibly guilty and could only lick his dry lips.
What happened? He's like a cheating scumbag, caught red-handed having a romantic date with someone else!
Even though he and Lu Yunian weren't in that kind of relationship, and watching the sunset with Zhao Fuke was a complete misunderstanding, this feeling lingered in his heart and wouldn't go away.
Just when he was most puzzled, he bumped into Wen Qizheng who was walking towards him.
Wen Qizheng glanced at the flowers in Lu Yu Nian's hand, then at Ji Zhi Qiu following behind, with a knowing look on his face, and deliberately raised his voice.
"These flowers are so beautiful, did Brother Zhi Qiu give them to you?"
Ji Zhi Qiu had a bad feeling when Wen Qi Zheng said the first word. She jumped up and tried to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
Lu Yunian smiled, didn't say anything, and silently walked upstairs, leaving Ji Zhi Qiu standing there frozen.
Wen Qizheng sensed something was wrong and cautiously asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Ji Zhi Qiu smiled.
No, not at all. It was supposed to be buried anyway; you just scattered the last handful of soil.
****
Ji Zhi Qiu immediately chased after him. The door to the room was not closed, and Lu Yunian was putting flowers into a narrow-necked vase.
This was supposed to be a reward he earned by completing a task, but he made a blunder and ended up with nothing, which also angered Lu Yu Nian.
Lu Yunian did not turn around, but he accurately sensed Ji Zhi Qiu's presence. "I have already turned off the microphone and camera."
Ji Zhi Qiu immediately slid to her knees and said, "I'm sorry."
"Apologize for what?"
Ji Zhi Qiu immediately wanted to explain the misunderstanding between him and Zhao Fu Ke, but before he could speak, he was lost in confusion.
Whatever he does with Zhao Fuke won't hurt Lu Yunian, so what's there to apologize for?
He felt something was off, and that speaking rashly would only make things worse, so he changed the subject, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Lu Yu Nian leaned against the window, his arms crossed in a lazy posture, yet he resembled a resting lion, exuding a powerful and intimidating aura with a strong latent aggressiveness that made people tense and afraid to breathe too heavily.
"You rested very well."
Just as he had guessed, Lu Yu Nian indeed didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed him to do this, nor would she have interacted with him so naturally.
Ji Zhi Qiu made up her mind to stop avoiding the issue. "Actually, I misspoke. My sleeping posture is not good at all."
"I kicked off the covers last night, probably because I was cold," Ji Zhi Qiu unconsciously made excuses for herself, stammering, "I swear it was all unconscious, but the fact is I did move towards you."
"They went that way?"
Ji Zhi Qiu hunched her shoulders, her hands clenched tightly like a small animal. She quickly peeked at Lu Yu Nian's face, then quickly lowered her head, her cheeks puffing out and then deflated. She cautiously said, "I just snuggled into your arms..."
Ji Zhi Qiu glanced at Lu Yu Nian's expression. Lu Yu Nian was not angry, which gave him the courage to continue, "Not only that, I also did other things."
"What's up?"
Ji Zhi Qiu gritted her teeth and poured out her heart all at once, "I buried my head in your chest and even unbuttoned all the buttons on my pajamas, just like you think, skin to skin. I feel like I offended you and want to apologize to you, sincerely begging for your forgiveness."
“A verbal apology was too perfunctory. The production team had arranged a special task, and I thought Zhao Fuke had obtained a clue and invited me, so I gladly accepted. I didn’t expect it to be a misunderstanding.”
"So you watched the sunset with Zhao Fuke because of me?"
His tone remained unchanged, seemingly a casual and ordinary sentence, but Ji Zhi Qiu keenly sensed the danger lurking behind it and immediately stood up straight, "I'm sorry!"
"You didn't do anything wrong, so why are you apologizing to me?"
Ji Zhi Qiu thought Lu Yu Nian was being sarcastic, and he was willing to do anything to preserve this precious friendship.
But when he looked at Lu Yu Nian again, he found his expression to be exceptionally gentle, even encouraging and indulgent: "Qiu Qiu, come here."
He had never seen Lu Yu Nian like this before. As if bewitched, Ji Zhi Qiu lost control of his body and walked straight over, his gaze following Lu Yu Nian the whole time.
"Extend your hand."
Ji Zhi Qiu was a little puzzled by this request, but still obediently complied.
This time, Lu Yu Nian didn't make any other requests. Instead, he stood up and took the initiative to approach her. The distance between them kept closing, and he almost bumped into Ji Zhi Qiu's hand. Ji Zhi Qiu subconsciously tried to dodge, but Lu Yu Nian grabbed her wrist and said, "Put it up here."
Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, and her voice trembled with fear, "Put it...put it where?"
“You don’t need to feel sorry, I didn’t offend you.” Lu Yu Nian’s tone was unfairly gentle, as if he was coaxing him. “We’re friends, there’s no need to be so formal. You can do whatever you want to me, and I’m willing to do anything for you.”
Lu Yu Nian moved closer, still not allowing Ji Zhi Qiu to withdraw her hand. "So what if you've seen it? So what if you've touched it? It's just that you buried your face in my arms. What kind of offense is that? I'm willing to satisfy your curiosity and cooperate with you, anytime, anywhere, in any way."
Under Ji Zhi Qiu's stunned gaze, Lu Yu Nian moved forward another inch. The thin fabric could not block his body heat at all. Under Ji Zhi Qiu's palm was not only a soft touch, but also a hot and powerful heartbeat.
"Ah, is this how friends should act?" Ji Zhi Qiu seemed to have been brainwashed, no longer resisting, but just feeling confused.
"Of course! We're friends. Are you underestimating our friendship?"
Ji Zhi Qiu, afraid of hurting Lu Yu Nian, shook her head repeatedly: "No, I'm just a little..."
He bit his lower lip, trying to scare Lu Yu Nian away, "It's not just that, I even rubbed the buttons open, I'm quite... you know, are you sure?!"
Lu Yu Nian smiled like a male fox spirit, completely controlling Ji Zhi Qiu's heartbeat and breathing. "I'm sure. We can do it now. How many buttons do we need to unbutton? Should I do it or will you?"
Ji Zhi Qiu stared blankly at him, feeling as if she were on fire, her thoughts turning into a jumbled mess, with only some chaotic ideas slowly holding her together.
In gyms, there are also some well-built men who are generous with their bodies, often shirtless to show off their solid muscles and even allowing people to touch and squeeze them to demonstrate their firmness.
The behavior may be the same, but Lu Yu Nian gave him a completely different feeling.
Before this, Lu Yu Nian's image in his mind was steady and mature, seemingly gentle and considerate, yet with a strong sense of distance.
Who would have thought he would be so righteous, such a generous and selfless man!
