Chapter 105
Extra six
The weather got hot early this year. By mid-April, under the warm spring sunshine, cherry blossoms were in full bloom across the mountainside. Standing on the hillside, looking down, one could see a sea of pink. The wind blew, and the trees swayed gently, creating waves of pink that softened one's heart.
He Tong and Ye Yuze sat in a pavilion near the top of the mountain, leisurely eating snacks and drinking coffee, admiring the sea of flowers that covered the two hills in front of them.
"Auntie is really good at finding a place. The scenery is really beautiful." He Tong exclaimed, "Finally, we caught up this year."
Ye Yuze smiled faintly and put down his coffee cup. "This group is in the resort business, and they have projects specifically developed for customers who want peace and quiet and are willing to spend money. My aunt introduced me to become a member, and they regularly send project recommendations to my email. If you're interested, you can take a look."
"Really? That's great! We won't have to worry about going on vacation anymore."
He Tong saw Ye Yuze pick up a small snack, so he leaned over and bit off half of it. When he stepped back, he licked Ye Yuze's fingers with his tongue.
Ye Yuze didn't mind and ate the remaining half, wiped his hands with a tissue, and stood up.
"The sun is high now, let's go take some pictures in the woods."
He Tong picked up the camera and tripod and hung them on his body. He stood up and followed Ye Yuze out while looking at the photos he had taken.
"I feel like my framing is still not as spiritual as yours..."
"You'll find inspiration if you take more photos. Didn't your last photo album include quite a few of your photos? Judging by the feedback from your fans, they were all pretty good."
"That's right. Although my skills aren't great, I make up for it with a lot of love! You know, your smile when you look at me is the most beautiful~ So only I can take photos like that~"
"I know...you are the same..."
As they talked, they walked along the stone steps into the pink ocean, and their voices were gradually blown away by the wind.
He Tong and Ye Yuze had visited this cherry blossom viewing resort last year, but the weather wasn't great. It rained continuously throughout the second half of April, and the blossoms weren't in full bloom. They didn't go up the mountain, instead staying in their villa. Occasionally, strolling through the villa complex under an umbrella, admiring the cherry blossoms in the rain, offered a uniquely romantic experience.
He Tong never mentioned it later, but he kept thinking about the cherry blossoms. This year, he had inquired in advance and learned that the flowers were in full bloom, so he dragged Ye Yuze here again to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
The two of them still stayed in the remote villa where they lived last year. After a day of rest, they went hiking in the mountains to enjoy the flowers early this morning.
There are two seas of flowers on the hills here. They came early and climbed high. Apart from occasionally meeting staff along the way, they didn't meet any tourists. It was as if they had monopolized this beautiful scenery.
The two happily photographed each other all day, even having lunch delivered to the woods. Afterwards, they took a nice nap in the cherry trees. In the afternoon, just as the sun was about to set, they walked back to the restaurant at the foot of the hill for dinner.
After eating and drinking his fill, He Tong stretched and sighed, "It's perfect! There's only one regret left from last year..."
Ye Yuze wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go back."
He Tong carried all the things on one shoulder, took a step forward, and reached out to hold Ye Yuze's hand.
Hand in hand, the two of them slowly walked across half of the resort area and returned to their remote villa.
As soon as he entered the room, He Tong put his things on the ground, then turned around, hugged Ye Yuze, and kissed him on the cheek: "Let's take a shower together?"
Ye Yuze didn't refuse, and the two of them walked into the bathroom like conjoined twins.
However, He Tong didn't make too much of a fuss. After sticking with each other for a while, he washed both of them properly.
While soaking in the bathtub with someone in his arms, He Tong touched Ye Yuze's face, which was slightly red from the heat, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired? How about waiting until tomorrow night?"
"It's only a day's play, how tired can you be?" Ye Yuze said as he shifted slightly and glanced meaningfully underwater. "I don't think you can make it until tomorrow night."
He Tong chuckled, kissed him on the lips, stood up, stepped out of the bathtub and said, "You soak for a while, I'll go prepare the wine."
Ye Yuze closed his eyes and soaked in the bathtub for a while. He didn't know if it was because there was no one around, but he felt that the water was cooling down faster.
He simply stood up, dried himself, put on a bathrobe, blew dry his hair, opened the door and walked out.
There were no main lights on in the villa, only the corridor lights illuminating a corridor.
Ye Yuze followed the light to the backyard.
Today was the end of the lunar month, a moonless day. Besides the mosquito-killing lamps lit in the four corners of the yard, there were also numerous lanterns hanging. Even the cherry blossom tree in the corner had several hanging from it. The cherry blossoms, so lovely in daytime, were now shrouded in a pale yellow glow, creating a hazy and ambiguous feeling.
Ye Yuze stared at the tree.
That tree is different from the ornamental dwarf cherry trees planted on the mountain. It is said that it originally grew there. Although it is not very tall, it is still too big for one person to hug.
The two of them came here for vacation last year. Originally, He Tong had picked another villa when he was looking at the models in the reception lobby. However, when the staff took them past this place on the way, Ye Yuze saw half of the treetops across the courtyard wall and couldn't move.
This tree doesn't have many flowers, but for some reason, Ye Yuze feels that everything about it pleases him, even the sparse flowers seem to bloom just right.
So the two of them moved into this yard. Last year, it rained a lot, and Ye Yuze had nothing to do, so he drew a picture of this tree. In the picture, He Tong and himself were under the tree, holding an umbrella together.
As he was recalling, he heard footsteps behind him.
He Tong came over carrying a tray with a wine jug and two wine glasses on it and said with a smile, "You got here before me."
He placed the tray on the wooden floor that led from the villa into the yard, sat down cross-legged, and waved to Ye Yuze who was standing nearby: "Come and try this cherry blossom wine. People here say it's made from the flowers of the tree in the yard last year. This one is very good."
Ye Yuze sat down next to He Tong, picked up the glass of wine that He Tong had filled for him and took a sip. He showed a satisfied expression and turned to look at the tree again.
He Tong also drank a cup and smacked his lips. "It's really good. Let's ask tomorrow if there are any extras so we can take some back."
He poured himself another glass and leaned over to pour another for Ye Yuze, but found that his brother Ye was only focused on looking at the trees and had only drunk half of the wine in the glass.
He Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze moving back and forth between Ye Yuze and the cherry tree for a few times, then he put down the wine jug and suddenly reached out to hug the person in his arms.
"Why do you keep looking at that tree? Do you like it that much? I'm jealous!"
Ye Yuze leaned back in his arms, raised his hand to drink the remaining half glass of wine, and smiled lazily: "Jealous, then what?"
Just at this moment, a gust of night wind blew, the cherry trees swayed gently, and all the lanterns swayed with the wind. The light and shadow in the yard changed rapidly, as if the cherry trees were responding.
He Tong looked up at the tree, then looked down at the person in his arms.
The man had just drunk some wine, and a light blush appeared on his cheeks, which just happened to spread under his beautiful peach blossom eyes. Against the backdrop of a pair of lively eyes that seemed to contain a pool of water, he was deeply attracted by them.
He Tong gritted his teeth, raised his hand and poured all the wine in his glass into his mouth, then threw the glass away and lowered his head to cover the thin lips that were moist with a little wine.
Ye Yuze also threw away the cup and put his hands around He Tong's neck.
The two men swallowed the wine in their mouths with their throats rolling, but their lips did not separate, but instead stuck together more tightly.
After a long while, He Tong raised his head slightly, leaned his forehead against Ye Yuze's, and asked in a low voice: "Will it be cold if there is wind?"
Ye Yuze panted lightly and replied with a smile: "Aren't you going to make me hot right away?"
He Tong also smiled and said, "That's right."
Then, he stood up holding Ye Yuze, walked down the steps to the yard, and came to the cherry tree before putting the person on the ground.
He Tong bit Ye Yuze's lips lightly and said in a deliberately vicious tone, "Now let this tree see that you are mine!"
Unfortunately, he couldn't help laughing at the end.
Ye Yuze also laughed softly, and the hand around He Tong's neck slowly moved down and slid into the collar of his yukata.
There were only a few light clouds floating in the clear night sky. The evening breeze blew from time to time, and the cherry trees gently swayed their branches and leaves, occasionally scattering some tiny petals that fell on the heads, shoulders and backs of the two people under the tree.
…
The next morning, He Tong was awakened by the humming sound of his vibrating cell phone.
He blinked awake and quickly picked up the phone on the bedside table so that it wouldn't wake up the people around him.
After swiping the screen, a bunch of messages popped up. He Tong read through them one by one and found that most of them were from people on his work WeChat wishing him a happy first anniversary. He kept reading until the end and realized that it was the fans celebrating their first wedding anniversary that had become a trending topic.
He Tong clicked on the trending search and saw that the fans were quite generous this time. They used the films they had shot to edit a mixed MV. Not only did they buy the homepage display space of major video platforms for half a day, they also bought 20 large screens in commercial plazas in eight cities to play it for an hour.
It is now ten o'clock, and it has been broadcast for half an hour. There is still another half hour to be broadcast from eight thirty to nine in the evening.
He Tong was sighing when Ye Yuze woke up. Seeing him looking at his phone, he sat up and asked, "What's up?"
He Tong explained this and held up his phone in front of the two of them: "Come, let's watch the MV together."
The plot of the MV is quite cleverly conceived, using the theme of several lifetimes to connect the characters played by the two in various films, and the accompanying song is "The End of the Sky" sung by Ye Yuze.
The first one is Wenren Jian and Yizhu Zhenren from "Tian Yao", followed by Yan Ye Shi and Su Yuan from "Peace and Prosperity", and then the young swordsman and the red-masked man from "Fengless Knife", followed by Tang and AI from "Stripping", Ji Shaoyou and Xuan Meng from "Dream Travel", the blind writer and deaf-mute dancer from "These People Around Me", Bai Ruyun and Yu Chu from "Painter", the company employees and patients from "The End of the Sky", Huo Mingzhou and Tan Qiu from "Our Struggle"... Later, there was even a shot of the two dancing tango at a fan meeting, and it finally ended with the two drinking the wedding wine.
After watching the more than five-minute mashup MV, He Tong and Ye Yuze were both moved.
"The fans are so thoughtful." Ye Yuze lowered his eyes with a gentle expression.
He Tong smiled and clicked on Weibo: "I'll send them a return gift."
Not long after, Tongze fans received a notification that He Tong had posted on Weibo and immediately rushed over happily.
@贺同v: Thank you fans! Please send me a picture as a thank you gift~
The accompanying picture is a close-up of Ye Yuze's face. He has wet hair, a water droplet hanging on his slender neck, and another water droplet hanging on his half-closed long eyelashes - this is obviously a bathing photo.
The fans were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up and they screamed as they poked the picture, but...
Weibo prompts "This Weibo post has been deleted."
He Tong quickly sent another
@贺同V: Thank you fans! Here's a picture as a thank you gift~ (I accidentally sent the wrong one, this one is the correct one, please forgive me [fist hug])
This time the picture shows He Tong and Ye Yuze holding hands and smiling at each other, with a sea of pink flowers covering the mountains behind them, which is beautiful and romantic.
This picture is very beautiful. If He Tong hadn't made a mistake in adding the picture, fans would probably hug the picture and shout "So sweet, so sweet".
But now…
The fans hugged the picture, but they didn't stop bombarding her with comments.
[Tongtong, if you have the guts to post the picture, don't delete it! ]
[My friend, please return that picture of a beautiful woman emerging from the bath!]
[No matter what, no matter what, I'm going to throw a tantrum and demand that Master Ze get out of the bath! ]
[I shouldn't have thought of clicking on the large image and then saving it, I should have just taken a screenshot. [Crying]] [Did anyone take a screenshot? Did anyone take a screenshot? Did anyone take a screenshot?] [Just click on the large image. Who would have thought Tongtong would delete posts so quickly...] He Tong hummed twice in front of his phone and commented to himself.
[He Tong V (blogger): I don’t have any pictures of beautiful women emerging from the bath. If you want to see them, I can only show you my pictures.] Fans immediately pushed his comment to the top of the trending list, and responded one after another
[Then bring it over! We want to see those water-dropped six-pack abs and mermaid lines!] Ye Yuze, who was also browsing Weibo, narrowed his eyes and turned to look at He Tong: "Your bathing photo?"
He Tong raised his head and blinked when he heard this: "...Uh, should I go shoot now?"
Ye Yuze's eyes drooped, looking at his half-exposed abdominal muscles under the thin blanket...
On Weibo, fans waited for a long time but saw no response from He Tong, which made them feel a little strange. He Tong is not the type of person who would just ignore others mid-sentence.
More than half an hour later, fans finally received a notification. However, the person who posted on Weibo was not He Tong, but Ye Yuze.
@叶与泽v: There is no bathing picture, so just look at this one.

Fans: ...Okay, now we know that Master Ze is not much more generous than Tongtong, they are just a pair of jealous people!
