Love Rival Is Getting Prettier Everyday - Chap 205
Chapter 205: Sweetness
Shi Lei felt like he was dreaming. After drinking so much alcohol, his mind was a bit unclear, so much so that ecstasy broke out suddenly after they left the restaurant. He turned his head and glanced at Bai Qingquan beside him, trying to hold his hand.
Bai Qingquan shrank his hand back and put it in his pocket. Shi Lei took advantage of the situation and reached into his pocket, grabbed his hand, and said, “Didn’t you agree to be my boyfriend?”
Bai Qingquan glanced around, slightly nervous.
“You’re wearing a mask,” Shi Lei said.
Bai Qingquan didn’t speak. Shi Lei kept putting his hand in his pocket, holding his hand, and kept looking at him with a smile.
“It’s like a dream,” Shi Lei said.
Bai Qingquan still remained silent.
“Why don’t you talk?”
Bai Qingquan whispered, “What are you talking about…”
His mind was still confused. Why did he fall so easily? He and Shi Lei had only met a few times. He didn’t fall in love for all these years because he had always been cautious about falling in love. The result now was that he surrendered so quickly when he encountered Shi Lei, who didn’t play cards according to common sense. He felt that all his criteria for getting to know each other for at least half a year had been abandoned. If Shi Lei had been more forceful, he probably would have given in halfway.
He liked strong men. He felt that he had released his inner nature all at once and felt a bit ashamed for it.
It was summer as they walked on the street late in the night. There were still many young people around. As the two held hands, they gradually became sweaty. Bai Qingquan’s heart suddenly began to show feelings of happiness bit by bit. He had suddenly felt the sweetness of love.
When they were young, he only liked Shi Lei very innocently. After meeting him again so many years later, the first thing that moved him was the sexual tension they had, followed by his pure feelings.
Adults and children were very different.
While Shi Lei wasn’t as tall as Yan Qiuchi, when he was looking at him alone, Bai Qingquan felt that he was taller than Yan Qiuchi. Though his appearance wasn’t as handsome, Bai Qingquan thought this was actually a plus, as he looked more masculine. His manly temperament far exceeded his physical appearance. He also thought Shi Lei was quite courageous… Not every man would dare to chase a star like this.
Shi Lei dropped him off at the entrance to the hotel. Only then did he let go of his hands. His palms were completely covered in sweat as the cool window blew on them.
“Go in,” Shi Lei said.
Bai Qingquan said, “Nn. Take a taxi back and tell me when you get home.”
Shi Lei nodded and asked, “Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s have dinner together.”
Bai Qingquan let out a “Nn”.
“Then I’m leaving,” Shi Lei said.
Bai Qingquan said “Nn” again.
He watched Shi Lei get into the taxi, then returned to the hotel and immediately called Shen Jintai as soon as he entered his room. He wanted to tell Shen Jintai as soon as possible. However, the call kept ringing, and Shen Jintai never picked up.
In Yan Qiuchi’s room in the Yan’s Manor, Shen Jintai’s pants were scattered on the floor, and the phone that was still in its pocket kept vibrating.
Suddenly, an arm reached out at the end of the bed. Shen Jintai stretched forward. “I… My phone’s ringing…”
Yan Qiuchi didn’t say a word but instead directly lifted the blanket and covered him from behind before laying down beside him and kissing his ears. Shen Jintai knew he couldn’t escape tonight.
He had been filming and was with the crew during this time, so he hadn’t seen Yan Qiuchi for over a week. To go a week, for a man like Yan Qiuchi, who wanted to hug him every night and day, it was extremely suffocating.
Bai Qingquan laid on the bed and called Zheng Siqi.
As soon as Zheng Siqi fell asleep, he was awakened to a call. He had a good temper and wasn’t angry that his rest was disturbed. He picked up and drowsily said, “Hey.”
Bai Qingquan said, “What should I do? Shi Lei just confessed to me, and I… I agreed.”
When Zheng Siqi heard this, he sat straight up from the bed. “Didn’t I tell you before I left?”
But he had no choice. Shi Lei’s attack was too strong. Bai Qingquan’s face flushed slightly. “I’m sorry I have failed your advice.”
Zheng Siqi didn’t know what to say, so he could only say, “If you really like him, just keep communicating with him, but you have to be careful not to get exposed. It’s best to do it slowly. Learn from Jintai and give your fans a buffer time.”
Bai Qingquan asked, “Nn. Have you resolved the cancellation of your contract?”
“The results will come out next month,” Zheng Siqi said. “There shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Go back to sleep. I won’t bother you anymore,” Bai Qingquan said.
“If you proceed, you have to rest assured,” Zheng Siqi finally said. “And also Wei Ge. He’s really doing it for your own good, so you need to discuss with him your future with Shi Lei.”
Bai Qingquan hung up the phone and went to shower. When he came back, he found he had missed a call and a text message. The message was sent by Shi Lei, indicating that he had returned home. The missed call was from Shen Jintai.
He called Shen Jintai back.
Shen Jintai’s voice sounded lazy and had a hint of sexy huskiness to it. He asked, “What’s the matter? Why’d you call me so late?”
“Were you sleeping?”
Shen Jintai said, “Nn.”
Bai Qingquan told him about his promise to date Shi Lei.
Shen Jintai’s reaction wasn’t much better than Zheng Siqi’s. He sat up for a moment before he let out a hiss as Yan Qiuchi hurriedly got up and pulled him down again. He laid naked on Yan Qiuchi’s stomach.
Bai Qingquan immediately asked, “What’s the matter?”
“What we had just talked about, you turned a deaf ear to.” He had a belly full of scolding but with Yan Qiuchi by his side now, he couldn’t say them. “It’s too late now. I’ll call you tomorrow!”
How he hated that iron was not made of steel*!
*Idiom referring to how one did not live up to one’s expectations. || In this context, he’s referring to how Bai Qingquan, despite their advice and warnings, failed to follow them.
Bai Qingquan knew that he had let them down and could only give a very docile “Un” in response.
Shen Jintai tossed his phone to the bedside and said to Yan Qiuchi, “It’s only been a few hours, yet Xiao Bai has already confirmed his relationship with Shi Lei!”
Yan Qiuchi said, “I think as long as he likes him, you shouldn’t interfere too much. No matter how good the relationship between friends is, you must pay attention to discretion. You and Zheng Siqi take care of him like you’re his mother. In case something goes wrong in the future, you should be careful not to get too involved.”
Shen Jintai actually thought what he said made sense, but he was worried that Bai Qingquan would be harmed.
As he lay on Yan Qiuchi’s stomach and looked at the ceiling, Yan Qiuchi’s hand was combing his somewhat damp hair. He then held the back of his head and said, “Get up. You should rinse off.”
“I don’t want to move,” Shen Jintai said lazily.
Yan Qiuchi said, “Then how about another round?”
Shen Jintai got up quickly when he heard this and looked down at the towel on the bed sheet. Yan Qiuchi got up with a smile and followed him to the bathroom.
After a while, Shen Jintai’s voice came from the bathroom. “You hungry wolf. What are you doing… I won’t come back for a month.”
“That’s fine. I’ll be sure to count the days and save it all up. As long as you’re not afraid, one month isn’t a problem.”
Shen Jintai: “…Yan Qiuchi!”
You’re in such good health, so you’ll be fine.”
“Just because I’m in good health doesn’t mean…”
After that, everything became a blur. Yan Qiuchi had coaxed, begged, and threatened, and they did it again.
Early the next morning, when Fang Fengmei saw Shen Jintai coming downstairs, she was surprised. “Oh, when did you return?!”
“Last night,” Shen Jintai said.
As soon as his voice fell, he saw Yan Qiuchi walking down the stairs in a hurry.
Fang Fengmei asked, “You’re leaving now? Don’t you want breakfast?”
“It’s too late, and I have to catch a plane,” Shen Jintai said.
“I’ll send him off,” Yan Qiuchi said.
Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi went out the door together. Yan Qiuchi looked behind him, then caught up with him and said, “I have made progress this time.”
“What?” Shen Jintai looked back, puzzled.
Yan Qiuchi said, “Mom didn’t even know you were back.”
Shen Jintai was stunned for a moment before his face turned red. “Ahhhhhhh. I forgot about it, and you had to bring it up!”
This was a particularly embarrassing thing to say. In fact, he couldn’t blame it all on Yan Qiuchi. Yan Qiuchi liked to hear him call him husband, but he felt ashamed saying it, so he reluctantly would refuse. The more he refused, the more Yan Qiuchi wanted to hear it, which only led to him being “forced” to die several times over… Needless to say, Shen Jintai had finally given in, and he shouted out the word too loudly, resulting in the consequence that Fang Fengmei would know whenever he came back.
His mind was blank at that time, so he wasn’t particularly aware of it. Occasionally he would only worry that his hoarse voice would give things away, until one day Fang Fengmei hinted to Yan Qiuchi and told him that the sound insulation in their home didn’t seem to be good.
Dying from embarrassment, Shen Jintai didn’t dare contact Fang Fengmei for several days.
Yan Qiuchi said, “It’s okay. The new house has been cleaned up. When you come back next time, let’s live there.”
Shen Jintai’s legs softened for no reason.
The author has something to say:
The new house is very dangerous for Xiao Bai and Xiao Jin.
