Mr. Yuan is Always Unhappy - Chap 14
Edited by Yummers
In the end, Yuan Rui still couldn’t go on a trip with Zheng Qiuyang. Right after the filming for the idol drama was over, he received a notice from the TV station’s new show. The timing cut real tight.
It was a show on another TV channel, a separate one that was different from the two previous ones that Yuan Rui had worked with. Li Lingling was worried that Yuan Rui’s IQ might get exposed when meeting with the new directors, so she personally showed up on the day of filming.
“Liang-Ge has also been on a show under this channel before, I’ve been here with him a few times,” Zhao Zhengyi told Li Lingling in a low voice beside her, “their variety shows are all done by outsourcing teams, I heard that it’s the same again this time. This team has done two reality shows from Korea with copyright, they’re very experienced. Most of the team are Koreans so they won’t understand Yuan-Ge saying anything dumb. I also asked around earlier, the one responsible for the team is Yang Lu, I heard she is…”
Li Lingling cut in, “I know her. We met once a few years ago too. That was before she entered this field of work, she was very famous for her words.”
Zhao Zhengyi said, “Right right, that’s her. I got a glance of her from far away earlier, she seems pretty awesome.”
“With her dad’s high authority and position, it’s natural for her to be impressive.” Li Lingling looked around then asked, “Where did Yuan Rui run off to?”
Zhao Zhengyi couldn’t help but point to the stairway. “There, he’s making a call in the back. I think his partner’s not feeling well.”
The one who wasn’t feeling well wasn’t his partner, but rather, his partner’s mom.
Zheng Qiuyang’s mom usually had nothing to do at home, so she would often go play mahjong at her friends’ house. The building her friend lived in was an outdated one with no elevator implanted. Last night, the game went on for a bit longer than usual so when she was walking down the stairs in the dark, she accidentally missed a step. Fortunately, she didn’t end up with any major injuries, only her wrist was sprained. It swelled a lot and was extremely painful. She called her son in a panic.
Zheng Qiuyang left in a hurry in the middle of the night. Even when Yuan Rui left for work in the morning, he still wasn’t back.
“How is it?” Yuan Rui hid in the stairway to call him. He asked very worriedly, “Are her bones okay?”
Zheng Qiuyang replied, “It’s just sprained, her bones are fine. Did you already leave for the TV station?”
“Yeah, I’m here right now, but we haven’t started filming yet. Are you still with auntie? Or did you go to the company?”
“I’m still at her place. She won’t stop crying.” Zheng Qiuyang spoke exhaustedly, “Once she’s done insulting my dad, she insults my grandpa. Once she’s done insulting my grandpa, she insults god. I’m getting a headache just from listening.”
“Sigh.”
“You go take care of your work, we can talk when I come back. I’m going to put her to sleep first.”
“Okay. Endure it a little, don’t talk back, and don’t blame her. She isn’t happy with her life, if you say things about her it’ll make her even sadder.”
“……I know.”
“Then, I’ll hang up first, okay?”
“Yuan Xiao Rui.”
“Hm?”
“I kind of miss you.”
“……”
“Hurry up and come home once you’re done filming.”
When they hung up, Yuan Rui could feel his cheeks burning up a little. Zheng Qiuyang’s tone during the call was so gentle, he felt like his ears were about to be impregnated.
I want to go home right now so badly!
After a day of hard work, the first episode’s recording was finally over when twilight hit.
Li Lingling didn’t stay for the entire process. The production team was very experienced and Yuan Rui was putting on a good performance too. Everybody got along in no time. Li Lingling left in the middle of filming with an eased mind to take care of some sudden business back at the company.
Right when they were done, Yuan Rui wanted to hurry home.
But a person from the TV station came over and said, “Director Yang’s inviting everyone out for dinner tonight. She already made the reservation, would you like us to give you a ride there or…?”
Zhao Zhengyi said, “We drove here, we can get there by ourselves. Which restaurant is it?”
The person told them the place, then quickly ran off to notify other guests.
It was the first day on set after all; plus, it was an invitation from the one in charge of the production team. Yuan Rui hesitated for a while, but in the end, he couldn’t refuse it.
He gave Zheng Qiuyang a call to say he’d be home late since the team was treating everyone to dinner.
Zheng Qiuyang acted pitifully from the other end. “Then what about me?”
Yuan Rui said, “You should also eat something outside then go home…oh right, since auntie’s hand is already like that, she definitely can’t cook. Maybe you can buy something and bring it back to eat with her?”
Zheng Qiuyang didn’t really want to, but he still replied, “Alright.”
Both of them returned home quite late with rather upset faces.
Zheng Qiuyang questioned first, “I’m down because of my mom’s nagging, what happened to you?”
Yuan Rui said dejectedly, “I didn’t do good today and got called out in front of everyone.”
“Did the filming not go well?”
Yuan Rui was still dispirited. “I don’t know, I felt like I did pretty good. But when we were eating, Director Yang from the production team said I was too stiff. She said I wasn’t funny or lively, and that a lot of editing was certainly going to be required.”
Zheng Qiuyang wasn’t very knowledgeable about such things, he could only comfort him by saying, “Maybe it’s because you guys just started filming and haven’t come to a tacit understanding yet. When you did the two other shows at the last TV station, didn’t all those directors like you a lot?”
Yuan Rui pressed his lips together. “Yeah, they liked me so much that they even tricked me. He said he was going to teach me how to bowl for the show, and then ended up groping my butt.”
“……”
Yuan Rui clenched his fist. “Next time, I’ll put on a good performance for Director Yang.”
“……Then are you also going to let him touch your butt?”
“Director Yang’s a woman! She’s around your mom’s age!”
Zheng Qiuyang put his hands up to surrender. “Don’t mention my mom, my head’s about to explode!”
“……”
Yuan Rui lied on their bed to read Conan mangas after he showered. His legs were swaying back and forth in the air.
Zheng Qiuyang was sitting on the side as he lifted up his pajama to see. The wound on his back was now blended into a light bluish color, it seemed like it was fine now.
“Don’t touch it, it itches.”
Zheng Qiuyang’s words were full of hints. “Your skin’s so smooth, it’s getting better and better every day. Smells really nice too.”
Yuan Rui flipped a page in the manga and then said, “I was using the Australian goat milk body wash that Fang Shiqing gave me, you can try it later.”
“……”
He endured it for half a minute, then he asked, “Does the wound on your back still hurt?”
“It’s been fine for a long time already.”
“Can you lie on your back?”
“Yeah.”
Zheng Qiuyang had been throwing hints for so long, yet the other’s attention was still focused on his manga. At last, Zheng Qiuyang was both mentally and physically drained. “Yuan Xiao Rui, where’s my fleshlight?”
“In the nightstand drawer.” Yuan Rui lifted his head to look at him with suspicion in his eyes. Then he slowly got up, asking, “Do…you want to do it?”
Zheng Qiuyang’s expression exposed how riled up he was.
Yuan Rui instantly felt awkward. “Sorry, I couldn’t understand earlier.”
He took off his pajamas in a flash and laid down flat naked, his eyes met Zheng Qiuyang’s without blinking at all.
Zheng Qiuyang couldn’t help but laugh. He mentioned purposefully, “You’re not going to continue reading Conan?”
Yuan Rui was a bit embarrassed, but he spoke honestly, “This is more interesting than Conan.”
The two started doing the “interesting” activity. Because tomorrow was Yuan Rui’s day off, Zheng Qiuyang didn’t hold back at all. Throughout the crazy night, they did it in at least eighteen positions.
Then, they kissed intimately as they held each other intimately.
Zheng Qiuyang chuckled. He said, “You know how to kiss better than before. The first time I kissed you, you almost passed out.”
Yuan Rui said, “I thought it was just another one-sided crush back then. I wasn’t expecting you to kiss me out of nowhere. I only rolled my eyes because I was too excited……did I really roll my eyes? Was it ugly?”
Zheng Qiuyang thought about it. “I forgot. I just remember that your lips were super soft, I was shocked the moment I touched them. I never thought they would be so soft.”
Yuan Rui was so sleepy, he couldn’t open his eyes. He half-mumbled, “Is it as soft as jelly?”
Zheng Qiuyang gave him another kiss. “Basically, it was jiggly and bouncy.”
Yuan Rui spoke with his eyes closed, “Someone else also said they were very soft before.”
“……”
Yuan Rui nudged against his face, “I’m so tired.”
Zheng Qiuyang held him tighter as the other fell fast asleep.
But Zheng Qiuyang’s eyes were wide open. He was not sleepy at all. Instead, he was very upset. Who kissed his Yuan Xiao Rui first?! Who?!
T/N: YUAN XIAO RUI PLEASE LMAOOASDLKFJS SLEEPING RIGHT AFTER SAYING THAT
