Bai Ye kissed Qi Xingchen's forehead and nose, helped him get dressed, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Qi Xingchen sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes lifeless, as if he had lost all desire for life.
Before Bai Ye helped him, he happened to look at the time.
Less than twenty minutes had passed since then.
That included all the chatter and the aftermath.
So to be exact, his endurance time … was only about ten minutes.
… Oh my god.
Would Bai Ye really not laugh at him for this???
The more Qi Xingchen thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. When he turned around and saw the towel roll, he angrily punched the culprit twice.
But the result was that not only did he not vent his anger, but his hands were also red. He angrily picked up the towel roll and got up, intending to throw it away.
But when he walked to the trash can, he paused and hesitated.
His sister had specially brought it for him. If he threw it away now, it would be a waste of her kindness.
And maybe … he could use it in the future.
He retracted his hand, turned around, and hid it back in the cupboard like a thief.
At this time, Bai Ye came out after washing his hands. Seeing him sneaking around, he asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"… Nothing." Qi Xingchen hurriedly closed the cupboard. "I'm just looking for something."
Bai Ye glanced at the bed and saw that it was empty. He instantly understood and changed the topic. "There's a quilt in the other room, right?"
"Yes! Wait, I'll go make it for you. "
Qi Xingchen ran to the guest bedroom and felt from the pillows to the sheets. He felt that all the bedding was clean and fresh. Satisfied, he spread the quilt.
The guest bedroom was not as warm as the master bedroom. He took out a hot-water bottle and put it under the quilt. Satisfied, he called Bai Ye. "You can come and sleep now."
Bai Ye had already changed into pajamas, the same model as Qi Xingchen's. He knew that Qi Xingchen must be feeling very awkward at this moment, so he didn't say anything. After saying goodnight to him, he went to sleep in the guest bedroom.
Seeing him close the door, Qi Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his room. She crawled into the bed and kicked the blanket for a long time before she felt a little less embarrassed.
However, even after tossing and turning and changing several positions, he still didn't feel sleepy. His mind was filled with thoughts.
Bai Ye was in the room next door, only a wall away from him. With such a close distance … How could he sleep soundly?
And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was in the wrong. Just now, Bai Ye had helped him solve the problem. Not only did he hurt Bai Ye, but he also hurriedly chased Bai Ye to the guest bedroom.
… Too much, this was too much.
His heart was filled with guilt. He quickly got up and pressed his ear against the wall to hear the sounds from the other side.
Unfortunately, the soundproofing in the hotel was so good that he couldn't hear anything. He rolled his eyes and knocked on the wall twice.
"Knock knock knock —" Not long after, the sound of someone knocking on the wall came from the other side.
… Great, Bai Ye wasn't asleep!
Qi Xingchen jumped off the ground and groped his way in the dark. Just then, the door opposite opened. Bai Ye stood at the door and asked, "Can't sleep?"
"Yeah."
Bai Ye came to pick him up. "I'll coax you to sleep."
"… I'm not a kid," Qi Xingchen whispered, but he couldn't help but smile.
The two met halfway, and Bai Ye held his hand. The bed in the guest bedroom was not as big as the master bedroom. Bai Ye let him sleep against the wall while he slept on the outside.
"Why aren't you asleep?" Qi Xingchen asked.
"I heard some movement on your side. I wanted to wait until you fell asleep."
Movement … It was probably the sound of him kicking the blanket. Qi Xingchen quickly apologized. "Sorry for disturbing your sleep."
"Why do you like to apologize to me so much?" Bai Ye scratched his nose. "I'm your boyfriend. This is what I should do. I don't want to hear words like 'sorry' or 'sorry' in the future. Don't say it again. "
Qi Xingchen nodded. "Okay, I'll try my best."
After a pause, he remembered why he was looking for Bai Ye. He leaned forward. "Thank you for helping me just now. I'll wash your clothes tomorrow."
"No need. It's rare for you to have a day off. You should rest more. I'll ask A Lun to send me a new set of clothes."
"No, I'll wash my own … things."
"It's okay. It's not like I don't have any on my hands."
Speaking of this, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but think of the scene just now. He didn't dare to think too much about it. He could only shrink under the blanket. "Let's sleep then."
"Good night."
.
It wasn't that they hadn't slept together before. It was just that they weren't familiar with each other at all last time. This time, there was some distance between them when they slept. When they woke up, Qi Xingchen was in Bai Ye's arms.
Qi Xingchen rubbed his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he felt strange. He had always been a good sleeper. Last time, when they had a video call through the night, his boyfriend had personally stamped it.
How did he end up … in Bai Ye's arms this time?
Qi Xingchen looked at Bai Ye, whose eyes were still closed, and wanted to crawl out. However, just as he moved down a little …
Bai Ye tightened his arms and kept him in place. His voice was hoarse. "It's still early. Don't move. Sleep a little longer."
Qi Xingchen understood how he ended up in his opponent's arms. He could only obediently stay still and go back to sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already late in the morning. Bai Ye was still asleep. Qi Xingchen stared at him for a while. Then, he kissed his forehead very, very gently.
The escape this time was very successful. Qi Xingchen tiptoed down the stairs. He drank some water to relieve his throat that was hoarse from singing and "humming" last night. Then, he slowly moved to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
After brushing his teeth, he lowered his head to spit out the foam. Suddenly, he was caught off guard and hugged by the waist.
Qi Xingchen was so shocked that his hand trembled. He almost dropped the toothbrush holder! He quickly straightened his body and blinked. In the mirror, he saw the person behind him.
He heaved a sigh of relief and continued to rinse his mouth. His words were unclear. "You scared me … Did I wake you up?"
Bai Ye buried his head in the crook of his neck and rubbed it twice. He said lazily, "No."
Qi Xingchen was surprised to find that Bai Ye had a lot of little habits — lazing in bed, hugging things when he slept, clingy like a big cat when he woke up …
Male protagonist, do you know that your character has collapsed?
But this male protagonist was so cute. Qi Xingchen had completely forgotten about the Bai Ye outside the novel — that Bai Ye was definitely not as good as his boyfriend!
Qi Xingchen happily rinsed his mouth and smiled. "Hey, I'm done brushing my teeth."
Bai Ye: "Okay."
"You do it."
Bai Ye: "I don't want to move."
"… It's almost twelve now. Hurry up and wash up. After washing up, we'll eat."
"Then help me brush my teeth." Bai Ye was still lazy. "You can't run away after stealing a kiss. I'll collect interest."
… Okay. Qi Xingchen reluctantly opened the cabinet and found a new toothbrush. He said to Bai Ye, "Ah —"
Bai Ye cooperated and opened his mouth. "Ah —"
The next moment, the two of them laughed at each other's childishness.
Bai Ye didn't really want Qi Xingchen to brush his teeth. After laughing, he took the toothbrush. Qi Xingchen washed his face while he was brushing his teeth.
Bai Ye had just finished brushing his face when he wiped the water off. He asked curiously, "What does this toothpaste taste like?"
"Cherry blossoms." Qi Xingchen answered.
"Oh." Bai Ye hugged him again.
The two of them kissed with a cherry blossom flavor.
Bai Ye was finally satisfied. He ended his big cat mode and called A Lun to bring him clothes and some food.
A Lun was very efficient. When the doorbell rang, Bai Ye and Qi Xingchen were looking at the TV and discussing which channel to watch.
"I'll go." Qi Xingchen was close to the door. He ran over quickly.
When he opened the door, A Lun saw him and his expression froze. He was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered to greet him. "Xing Xing, long time no see. These are the boss' clothes and food."
"Long time no see. You seem to have put on weight." Qi Xingchen greeted him. "Have you eaten? Come in and eat with us. "
"No, I'm not coming in. I just ate. You guys enjoy yourselves!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ah Lun stuffed the bag into Qi Xingchen's hands and ran off as fast as he could.
Qi Xingchen felt that something was wrong with him. He went back to the coffee table and asked Bai Ye while taking out the food, "A Lun seems to be afraid of me. Did he hear something about me?"
Bai Ye shook his head.
"That's …"
Before he could finish, a familiar scene appeared.
A few boxes and bottles fell out of the clothes that A Lun gave to Bai Ye.
Qi Xingchen: "…"
Bai Ye: "…"
He was most afraid of the sudden silence.
After a while, Qi Xingchen said with difficulty, "So … A Lun knows about our relationship?"
"Yes." Bai Ye nodded. "He heard it in the video."
"It's all my fault. I was too careless."
"What does it have to do with you?" Bai Ye bent down to pick up the condom and oil and hid them behind him. "It's my fault for not wearing earphones. Besides, he follows me every day. He'll find out sooner or later. "
Qi Xingchen thought about it carefully. An artist and an assistant spent a lot of time together. It was true that he couldn't hide it forever.
However, he was still worried. "Is A Lun vigilant? Will he accidentally tell others?"
"Fine, I didn't want to hide it." Bai Ye didn't care. "If it weren't for your unstable foundation, we wouldn't have to hide."
Qi Xingchen had few fans now, and even fewer die-hard ones. Once his relationship with Bai Ye was exposed, there would definitely be a large number of Night Sky fans scolding him even if Bai Ye restrained his fans.
"That won't do." Qi Xingchen immediately refused. "If it's exposed, it'll hurt your popularity."
Bai Ye glanced at Qi Xingchen and saw that he was worried. He rubbed his head and said, "When I first debuted, I promised the Night Sky fans that I wouldn't fall in love for five years. Now that five years have passed, in principle, I can return to my life of freedom, but I don't want to keep it from them.
"Especially some of the Night Sky fans who have been with me for seven years. Our relationship is no different from old friends. I want to receive their blessings openly, and I believe that most of the Night Sky fans will agree with you and my choice. "
"Of course." Bai Ye paused for a few seconds. "I respect your opinion more. If you don't want to be exposed, we can wait. I'm in the process of transforming. When I succeed and we get married, the fans shouldn't have much of an opinion. "
Since his debut, Bai Ye had been learning music and drama knowledge, and his professional skills were getting stronger and stronger. Since the year before last, he had written songs in every album. Half of the songs in the album that had just been released in August were written by him.
He had been transforming into a powerhouse, and at the same time, trying to polish his acting skills.
He was trying to give himself an explanation, and he was also trying to give his fans an explanation.
He didn't expect that the other party had already thought of marriage. Qi Xingchen didn't know how to answer. He only said, "I'm not taking the popular route, and I'm not afraid of being criticized because of you. I'm willing to take the risk for you."
Because of the environment he grew up in, he wasn't good at expressing himself. At this moment, he said "I" three times in a row, which showed how serious his promise was.
Bai Ye didn't know the inside story, but he could feel his seriousness. He picked up a piece of pork rib for him. "No rush, eat first."
.
He had to rush the next day. Bai Ye didn't want to delay Qi Xingchen's rest, so he left at night. He was afraid that Qi Xingchen would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't let Qi Xingchen send him. Instead, he asked Director Zhou to send a car to the airport.
Qi Xingchen stood by the window and watched the car drive away. His eyes became more and more sore.
When the car disappeared from his sight, he sniffled and lay back on the bed. He took out his phone to find something interesting to read to distract himself.
He opened Weibo, and all kinds of messages popped up as usual. Qi Xingchen scrolled through and found that there seemed to be a different "fan" among the new followers.
He was afraid that he had seen wrongly, so he tapped into the fan's homepage to confirm.
… That's right, Yan Ruonan was paying attention to him.
Yan Ruonan! Followed!! Him!!!
It wasn't easy to get Yan Ruonan's recognition. Qi Xingchen's finger swiped down and saw her latest Weibo post.
It was a photo of Qi Xingchen with a dumbfounded expression on his face. The caption read: [Happy Birthday to a dedicated and outstanding new actor. (heart emoji)]
Qi Xingchen didn't expect Yan Ruonan to have such a high opinion of him. He was so surprised and happy that he rolled on the bed!
Then, he remembered that Yan Ruonan didn't follow him some time ago, which caused all kinds of arguments among the fans. He wanted to see what the fans were like now, so he clicked on the comment section.
[Hahahaha, did I slap myself in the face?]
[Sister Ruonan: Even if I, Yan Ruonan, play two roles and complete the whole movie alone, I will never follow a little fresh meat. How fragrant.]
[Thank you, Sister Ruonan, for praising Qi Xingchen. I look forward to the results of Grey Track. Happy cooperation.]
[I like how you dare to love and hate. We're proud of you. Little Brother Qi also followed you. He's a treasure boy. He's so cute!]
Everyone's comments were almost one-sided. They were all joking with Yan Ruonan and praising him. Qi Xingchen was relieved and continued reading.
Suddenly, he noticed that something was not quite the same.
[Eh, the legs and shoes under the photo look like Brother Ye's.]
[After the sisters mentioned it, I also feel that it looks familiar. Brother Ye wore the same thing during the backstage interview yesterday.]
[Could it be that Brother Ye is here to celebrate Xing Xing's birthday? God, Brother Ye is so pampered! Sob sob sob, I have candy to eat again!]
[Sob sob, why are you in orgasm? Isn't it normal to visit a good friend's birthday? If you're in orgasm again, I'll help you @ the eye department ~]
[Look at the direction the Astral Treasure is facing. It should be Brother Ye's side. I'm guessing that the cake was made by Brother Ye.]
[Oh my god, I have a thought: After Brother Ye finished making the cake, he dragged the Astral Treasure to a corner and licked it bit by bit. He ate and wiped it clean … Ahhh, is there a madam who wrote this?]
Qi Xingchen looked around in shock. God, did the Xingchen CP fans install surveillance cameras around him last night? How could their thoughts be so accurate?
Qi Xingchen went to bed with a head full of question marks. He decided to log on to his smurf account and secretly search for the story of "licking and wiping it clean."
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, before dawn, he got up and went to the set to prepare for the scene. With sufficient preparation, the results in the morning were very gratifying.
After lunch, the private investigator called. "Mr. Qi, I've found what you wanted."
