Shen Ci was stunned for a while before he asked carefully, "Doctor Mo, I'm Xiao Ci. Who is Mr. Shen in your room?"

Mo Sheng seemed a little sleepy and didn't want to talk much: "It's your brother. He's back from taking a shower. Bye, it's Xiaoci's phone number."

Shen Ci choked, thinking that the person next door was really his brother.

Through the microphone with good reception, Shen Ci could vaguely hear the conversation on the other end of the phone. A slightly blurry and distant voice said, "The hot water is ready. Do you want me to help you wash?" Mo Sheng's lazy and low "No" was particularly clear.

After a faint, slightly broken noise, Shen Ci heard his brother's voice.

Shen Bie's voice was much clearer, but a little nervous: "...Hello? Xiaoci."

“Um, brother, you you you…” Shen Ci stuttered, not knowing where to start.

Should I ask him first why he was next door, or why he was alone with Dr. Mok again?

A normal good friend...wouldn't say something like "I'll help you take a bath" for no reason, right?

Previously in Country H, Shen Ci had vaguely discovered that Dr. Mo and his brother had an unusual relationship, but he soon forgot about it because he was busy filming. Now, he was caught off guard and discovered the two of them being intimate again, and he was shocked and curious.

Should I ask? Would it be embarrassing? Shen Ci was distressed.

The two brothers argued for a long time, and Shen Bie finally spoke first: "Xiao Ci, did you do that last night?"

"..." Shen Ci's eyes suddenly wandered, and he felt like his heart was about to stop.

How cruel! Shen Bie took the initiative and directly gave him a large-scale social death scene...

Shen Ci swallowed hard and fought back, "Brother, did you do that last night?"

Shen Bie fell silent, and the two brothers fell into unspeakable embarrassment.

After a while, Shen Bie coughed a few times and said, "Hey, you little brat, just forget about it! Uncle Lu should have taken you to dinner by now? Has the dessert I ordered for you been delivered? There's your favorite truffle ice cream."

"Not yet." Shen Ci couldn't suppress his curiosity and brought the topic back to the topic: "Brother, what did you do last night?"

Shen Bie listened to the splashing sound of water and realized that Mo Sheng did not take a bath. He felt annoyed because he had prepared it for nothing. "Tsk, don't ask..."

He was about to hang up the phone, but Shen Ci suddenly used his trump card, barking like a puppy: "Brother, please tell me, please, brother! I really want to know."

"..." The two soft "brother" made Shen Bie's scalp numb. He was completely unable to resist the little bastard's coquettishness: "Stinky brat, I really owe you."

He looked towards the bathroom, and once again thought of his stupid behavior last night, and felt very disappointed.

"It's a long story..." Shen Bie sighed, ruffling his hair in annoyance: "You won the award last night, and I prepared a gift for you. I wanted to give it to you at the end of the ceremony. I didn't expect Uncle Lu to propose to me out of the blue, so I had to follow him to the hotel... Anyway, I stayed next to you guys afterwards."

Shen Ci couldn't wait to eat melon: "Hurry up and get to the point, why did Dr. Mo come? Did you hammer the wall or break the glass in the hotel?"

"Doctor Mo..." Shen Bie leaned against the bed and began to think carefully about what happened last night. When Shen Ci continued to urge him impatiently, he slowly spoke: "Anyway... I, your brother, did some bastard things, and I'm really sorry to Brother Sheng... Hey, Xiao Ci, I really don't want to say more."

"Okay..." Shen Ci had no choice but to purse his lips and leave it alone with regret and sympathy.

Shen Bie gave a few perfunctory instructions to take a rest and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

The desserts were delivered quickly, and they were indeed all Shen Ci's favorites. He was afraid that Lu Xiao would not let him eat more, so he scooped a few scoops of ice cream and handed them to the Demon King in a flattering manner: "My little husband, do you want to have a bite?"

His eyes were round and his pupils were like gold foil, which made people feel soft inside.

Lu Xiao's lips softened as he opened his mouth to take a bite of the child's kindness, and said leisurely, "You can eat all of these, but you can only eat half of the ice cream. The baby is a little weak now, so he can't eat anything too cold, okay?"

After asking patiently in a tone that really left no room for rejection, Shen Ci had no choice but to accept reluctantly.

He nestled in Lu Xiao's arms and concentrated on eating with his head down, savoring each bite for a long time before swallowing it.

The room fell silent, leaving only the clinking of silver spoons hitting containers and the occasional smacking sound. However, Shen Ci moved his ears and seemed to hear a faint vibration.

He bit the spoon and crawled out of Lu Xiao's arms, knelt on the bed and struggled to find the cell phone under the layers of bedding. Sure enough, someone was calling.

When he saw the words "Dad Min", Shen Ci suddenly became nervous and hesitated to take the kiss, but his shoulders were gently embraced. Lu Xiao hugged him again and kissed Shen Ci's ears and cheeks: "Don't panic, your husband is here."

"Hmm..." Shen Ci took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

The moment the call was connected, Min Shoubei's angry and low voice came out immediately: "Where is Xiaobao now?"

Shen Ci covered his face and admitted awkwardly: "...hotel."

Min Shoubei's voice choked, and he probably guessed what happened in an instant, and was speechless for a while. Shen Ci could only hear his heavy breathing, as if he was calming down and considering what to say.

After a while, Min Shoubei spoke again, but just asked some irrelevant questions, such as what he had eaten this morning, and then hung up in a low mood, unwilling to talk any more.

"What's going on..." Shen Ci put down his phone in confusion.

The phone screen was still on, and the call history was clearly displayed. There were dozens of missed calls, all from relatives and friends last night.

Shen Ci was overwhelmed when he saw this. As expected, the most troublesome thing for him was not facing the crowd of onlookers, but dealing with the crazy questions from his relatives and friends...

WeChat is about to explode. People in the black group are desperately @沈辭. The screen is yellow as soon as it is opened.

Wei Shuo: Oh my god, Xiaoci, you are finally dealt with! Ahem, we are a little interested in the process.

Yang Xi: My friend only has one hour left, please ask your idol to write a detailed experience post for him!

Wei Shuo: The dead sissy has started to learn the little knowledge of being a 0? Oh…

Yang Xi: After all, I love my wife, and it would be bad if it hurts him when I bend her.

Wei Shuo:?

Qin Yun: ? ?

Xia Qingqing: It was you who was caught in the last crackdown on prostitution. Now squat down with your head in your hands!

Lu An: Xiaoci, are you okay? Drink more hot water.

Yang Liu: Yes, yes, just replenish water and continue!

Coke Baked Little Thorn: ...I want to quit the group!

Wei Shuo: Quit the group and focus on playing with Uncle Lu? It's really different when you're in a relationship, tsk tsk...

Yang Xi: @Wei Shuo, come play games with me, and I will let you experience the sweet first love with a dog-like boyfriend.

Wei Shuo: This is my first time! I have been through hundreds of battles!

Yang Xi: Don’t be so fierce. Can I sing a song for my brother?

Wei Shuo: Get lost!

[Wei Shuo has left the group chat]

The black group immediately started to attack Yang and Luo, and took turns sending people to coax Wei Shuo.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Yang Xi recently. She always likes to tease Wei Shuo. Shen Ci leaves for the time being, feeling both amused and helpless.

He followed the order of the calls and resigned himself to calling back one by one. He was constantly bombarded with questions by Shen's father, Shen's mother and others, and Shen Ci answered them all helplessly.

By the time I had paid all the bills, an entire afternoon had passed.

In the evening, his strength had almost recovered and he could barely walk, so Lu Xiao drove him back to the small apartment.

In the days that followed, Lu Xiao still lived in Shen Ci's small apartment every day without any complaints. It seemed that as long as he could hold Shen Ci to sleep at night, it didn't matter where he lived.

But Shen Ci would occasionally see her tall boyfriend curled up on the sofa with nowhere to put his long legs, and she would feel sorry for him.

Shen Ci bought this small apartment for the convenience of commuting, and simply discussed moving to a large house on the top floor along the river, not far from Yunxiao Entertainment and Yunxiao Group headquarters, and still serving as a small base for him and Lu Xiao to live without being disturbed.

After discussing with all their relatives and friends, Lu Xiao and Shen Ci set the wedding date for next August, just after the movie premiere predicted by Min Shoubei.

Ever since Shen Ci accepted Lu Xiao's proposal, the two of them have often been on the hot searches at the same time, and they are all trivial things, such as the backs of them eating together, and the candid photos of Lu Xiao picking him up at night... Shen Ci was very curious. These had become his and Lu Xiao's daily life, so why had they not been exposed before?

When he asked Brother Zhang, he realized that it was all thanks to Lu Xiao.

Magazines or haters will be eager to publish celebrity gossip, but once it involves a business giant like Lu Xiao, they have to review it first. Unless someone is deliberately seeking death, no one dares to act rashly.

Shen Ci could still bear it for the first one or two months, but later he couldn't stand being live-broadcasted every day. Even the time when the lights were turned off at home at night would be recorded and exposed.

He lay in Lu Xiao's arms and acted coquettishly for a few times before he finally calmed down. Of course, he was taken advantage of by someone and eaten from head to toe. He was forced to be paralyzed in bed the next day.

When the relationship was announced, Shen Ci's transformation was not complete, and he did not have any works that could prove his ability. Shen Ci did go through a period of several months of being mocked and questioned by the public, and many people predicted that Shen Ci would retire.

But Shen Ci's die-hard mother fan has never given up, and is even more arrogant than before. She buys trending searches from time to time. Yunxiao Entertainment also wants to support him and has invited him to several high-quality dramas.

At the end of July the following year, the new drama was aired in the summer vacation. Two years after his debut drama "No Goodbye", Shen Ci, who played a teenage pervert in a criminal drama, became popular again. This time, it was because of his amazing acting skills that his delicate face became a foil.

He can switch between gloomy and cheerful innocence seamlessly, and every micro-expression is just right. Every frown and smile is full of pure aura, and the character is interpreted beautifully and dangerously.

The entire TV series and each character have been discussed a lot, especially Shen Ci.

"Fuck... this look is similar to Mr. Lu's. He was cold, gentle, and compassionate when he attacked... I had a nightmare last night and saw this look in my baby's eyes. I woke up immediately! How did Mr. Lu take care of my baby at home? I'm crying! Where is my cute baby?"

"The innocent and cute junior high school student who lives next door to the police protagonist is kind enough to adopt a stray cat, but ends up robbing the policeman's family and framing the policeman... The prettier the child, the more vicious the policeman. This plot and characters are terrifying!"

"Are there any college students like me who were so scared by Shen Ci's character that they cancelled their tutoring? I don't dare to tutor a middle school kid alone anymore, wuwuwu!"

"Life-saving truth: Don't disturb your neighbors at home at night, or the kids next door may come and kill your whole family and then blame you..."

“…”

As a result, for a long time, some people would turn pale when they saw Shen Ci, making Shen Ci laugh and cry.

But because of this, no one would easily say that Shen Ci was a "vase" anymore.

In mid-August, the premiere of Min Shoubei's film was held. Shen Ci was once again pushed to the top of the trending searches for his interpretation of bipolar suicide. He also filmed a related public service advertisement for the occasion, which made him famous.

When her entertainment career was booming, her wedding with Lu Xiao also came as planned.

The wedding was held on a resort island. Lu Xiao had already bought a private beach and villa. He forcibly took Shen Ci away a week in advance and pulled him out of work.

The lights in the courtyard were dim in the evening. Shen Ci was leaning back in a recliner in his bathrobe, concentrating on the script in his hands.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the beautiful beach and the surging sea, but he was too lazy to look up to admire them, or was afraid.

Just as I was trying to figure out the character's emotions, the script was suddenly taken away.

Shen Ci looked up and saw Lu Xiao wrapped in a large towel.

Lu Xiao had just returned from swimming. The towel covered some of his strong and smooth muscles. Water drops slid down his half-covered body, making him even sexier. He lifted up all his wet hair, revealing his deep and handsome eyebrows, and his particularly dark eyes.

Shen Ci remained unmoved by the beauty in front of him. He smiled and tried to grab the script in Lu Xiao's hand: "Uncle, give it to me quickly."

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, held the script high above his head, and squinted his eyes as he looked down and said, "Baby, are you secretly reading the script? You're being disobedient again."

The two lived together for a long time, and Shen Ci was gradually infected and became a workaholic. If he didn't read the script and study every day, he would feel uncomfortable and anxious.

Brother Zhang praised Shen Ci's professionalism crazily, but Lu Xiao was not happy.

His original intention was just to let Shen Ci have fun in the entertainment industry, but he didn't expect that his baby would actually become immersed in it. Every day after get off work, he looked tired and haggard, which made Lu Xiao feel distressed.

But Shen Ci now enjoys being an actor. Lu Xiao cannot force him to quit the industry directly, so he can only force Shen Ci to stop working and take him out to relax and travel.

Shen Ci stuck out his tongue at him, climbed up from the recliner, and kept jumping high to reach the script, but he was always short.

"ah!"

His feet felt weightless, and Lu Xiao actually lifted him onto his shoulders. After a few shakes, he secured him, and finally patted Shen Ci's butt lightly: "Behave yourself."

Shen Ci pouted and yelled, "Uncle, you not only don't let me work, but you even beat me!"

He stretched out his arm and slapped Lu Xiao on the butt as well, snorting angrily.

Lu Xiao's body suddenly stiffened, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a gentle smile, his dark eyes deep.

"Baby, you are becoming less and less afraid of me."

Shen Ci ignored him, lifted the towel and bit his thick and strong back muscles to vent his feelings.

"..." Lu Xiao quickly carried the man back to the bedroom, threw him on the soft bed, leaned over to suppress Shen Ci's refusal, and tortured him to the point that he had no strength to speak, let alone work.

The next day, the guests invited to the wedding arrived one after another, and Shen Ci received them one by one while rubbing his sore waist.

Shen Bie's hands were itchy, so he immediately mingled with the wedding team and started busying himself helping with the arrangements.

Doctor Mo also came over. Shen Ci playfully called her "sister-in-law". Mo Sheng just smiled gently and touched his hair. He looked no different from usual, except for a shy blush on the tips of his ears.

Shen Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his brother was able to catch up with a cold beauty like Mo Sheng...

Just like Yang Xi and Wei Shuo were secretly dating, Shen Ci was so shocked that he slapped himself three times, suspecting that he was still asleep.

"Little words!"

Before Shen Ci turned around, he was suddenly hugged from behind. Shen Ci smiled and tried to grab his arm: "Shuo Shuo, are you going to strangle me to death?"

"Hehe, this is Uncle Lu's territory, how dare I step on it?"

Wei Shuo turned to face his good friend and gave him a kiss on the cheek, which startled Shen Ci.

Shen Ci looked around nervously: "What are you doing?"

Wei Shuo curled his lips: "We have such a good relationship, what's wrong with kissing each other?"

He came up right after and kissed her several times again. Shen Ci had never seen his childhood friend so passionate and was stunned.

"Hey——" Wei Shuo was suddenly dragged away like a chicken, held in Yang Wei's arms with his feet off the ground. He frowned and cursed while struggling: "You stupid idiot, let me go!"

Yang was so jealous that he almost burst out: "How could you kiss my idol! Kiss me quickly, back at her!"

Wei Shuo rolled his eyes: "Get off my feet! Why don't you just go and kiss that trainee!"

Yang Xi was anxious: "I was wrongly accused! That was all malicious editing by the program team!"

The two of them were arguing with each other out of jealousy. Shen Ci was overwhelmed by the sourness and wanted to escape, but his feet were empty and he was picked up horizontally by someone.

Lu Xiao slowly and methodically took out his handkerchief and carefully and gently wiped Shen Ci's cheek, where Wei Shuo had just kissed him.

"..." Shen Ci thought that Wei Shuo was truly a talented person, able to overturn two big jealous people with one kick.

The next morning, the wedding was held smoothly, and the guests sat in the banquet area to witness the marriage of the newlyweds.

With red eyes, Shen Ci's two fathers took Shen Ci's hands, walked him to the ceremony stage step by step, and solemnly handed him over to Lu Xiao.

Vows, exchange of rings, kisses.

Watching the ceremony with tears in their eyes, the bride's family members all had tears in their eyes. Mother Shen was already hugging her husband and crying.

Min Shoubei put on his sunglasses again, pursed his lips in silence, looking like a ruthless killer.jpg.

Min Song stood next to his father and saw his hands shaking from the corner of his eye. He sighed helplessly.

Shao Jinhuan stayed away from the noise in silence, standing with Brother Zhang and Lu An. He was lost in thought as he looked at Shen Ci who was smiling happily on the stage, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang wanted to light a cigarette to ease his complicated mood, but after thinking about it, he resisted the urge and started mumbling to Shao Jinhuan. However, Shao Jinhuan seemed not to hear him, while Lu An calmly took out his Bluetooth headset and put it on.

Shen Bie cried and wiped his tears, rubbing his snot and tears onto Mo Sheng. He leaned against him weakly to show his weakness, trying to make his wife feel distressed.

However, Mo Shengsi was not moved at all. Her eyes were indifferent. She stretched out her hands and twisted her boyfriend's waist hard, almost making Shen Bie scream.

Yang Xi and Wei Shuo were much happier. Yang Xi held Wei Shuo's thighs and lifted him up high. Wei Shuo half leaned and half sat on Yang Xi's shoulders, clapping loudly and shouting, "Happy wedding, Xiao Ci!"

The other guests also applauded, smiled and congratulated the newlyweds, and even shouted for them to kiss again.

Shen Ci had already been embraced by Lu Xiao. After hearing the booing from the audience, he chuckled.

"good."

He pinched Shen Ci's chin, leaned over and gave him a possessive deep kiss, until Shen Ci was almost out of breath and pushed his shoulders, and then he was reluctant to let go.

Shen Ci's cheeks were slightly red due to his high emotions, his crooked star-like eyes were stunningly beautiful, and his whole body was trapped in Lu Xiao's arms, the happy curve at the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed at all.

Lu Xiao bent his head and kissed his soft hair, his heart and eyes filled with love that was about to overflow.

***

At the banquet after the ceremony, Shen Ci was forced to drink several glasses of wine as a prank by his friends. He had a low alcohol tolerance to begin with, and after the wedding, he was carried away by Lu Xiao in a daze and put on the big bed in the glass greenhouse on the top floor of the villa.

Shen Ci lay on the bed, with the fragrance of flowers refreshing his nose and the starry sky spread out before his eyes like a scroll painting.

There is little pollution on the island, the night sky is clear and cloudless, the magnificent Milky Way slants across the clean sky, and the bright stars are scattered all over the place, so clear that it seems as if you can touch the vast universe with just your hand.

The slender fingers were playing with Shen Ci's soft hair. Shen Ci turned around and threw himself into Lu Xiao's arms, hugging him tightly, closing his eyes and sniffing with contentment. The familiar bitter and astringent aroma mixed with the alluring smell of alcohol lingered in his nose.

Lu Xiao gently kissed the tip of his ear, and said in a low, drunken, hoarse voice: "Baby, I feel like I'm dreaming."

As if treating a treasure, he brushed his fingertips across Shen Ci's cheek, caressing it slowly and tenderly. After a while, he lowered his head and pecked the fair cheek lightly. The faint hot smell of alcohol wafted into Shen Ci's ears.

"Baby, I only have you..." Lu Xiao's voice was a little vague, even with a slight nasal tone, and there was a little water in his deep eyes. Shen Ci was startled, and suddenly remembered that among the guests at today's wedding - Lu Xiao actually had no family, and at most only some business partners came.

"Uncle..."

The tip of his nose suddenly felt sore. He reached out and interlocked his fingers with Lu Xiao's. The two rings touched each other, and they were extremely intimate.

He was grateful for the dream that made him know everything, not only because it helped him escape the tragic fate of being a cannon fodder, but also because it made Shen Ci notice the person who always stood behind him - Lu Xiao.

He always had a gentle smile on his face, and showed his pampering and indulgence silently, allowing Shen Ci to be carefree and do whatever he wanted.

But Shen Ci turned a blind eye to it. He was too slow to see Lu Xiao's deep love and was unable to respond.

What happened in the dream clearly told Shen Ci that for him, Lu Xiao would risk everything.

Not to mention the Yunxiao Group, even their lives are at stake.

He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't miss Lu Xiao and the chance to spend the rest of his life with him...

Shen Ci took the initiative to kiss the corner of his lover's mouth, tears welled up in his eyes, and he smiled and murmured.

"The only thing that can separate us is death."
