Chapter 1: One Day, I¡¯ll Have You Bow Down to Me and Call Me Daddy

Fu Sichen was the person that Pei Zhen hated most in his life.
When Fu Sichen was awarded Best Male Lead in the most recent Film Awards once again, Pei Zhen almost flipped the table. A nearby camera caught him leaving in a huff.
¡°As expected of the eternal runner-up.¡±
¡°Please have mercy, Best Actor Fu. Give runner-up Pei Zhen a chance.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t even need to read the news to know how the media would ridicule him.
That¡¯s right!
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t stand a chance with Fu Sichen around.
Pei Zhen reflected upon his own acting skills and appearance. How did any of these fall short of Fu Sichen?
None of them did. Apart from being a little shorter height-wise, he was outstanding in every other way!
After some deep self-reflection, Pei Zhen was even more sure of his own abilities.
Hence, when Fu Sichen walked over to shake his hand, Pei Zhen had the urge to both p that smiling face of his, and give his trophy a flying kick.
¡°Another idental win.¡± Fu Sichen shed his typical gentlemanly smile, the picture of grace and elegance. His voice was deep and charming, and hisnky body had been fitted with a smart-looking suit. Fu Sichen lowered his head slightly to meet Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes. ¡°I hope you won¡¯t hate me because of this.¡±
¡°How could I?¡± Pei Zhen said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve seen all of Best Actor Fu¡¯s works. You have brilliant acting skills. I admit defeat.¡±
After that superficial exchange, Pei Zhen pulled himself up close to Fu Sichen. While his attitude didn¡¯t reveal any hostility, his words were arrogant to the extreme.
¡°Just you wait. One day, I¡¯ll have you bow down to me and call me daddy.¡±
After leaving these words, Pei Zhen stepped back to give Fu Sichen a friendly punch on the shoulder. He then proimed in a loud voice, making sure everybody could hear him, ¡°Oh, so dinner¡¯s on you? You really are the Best Actor! Unfortunately, I¡¯m busy tonight. My apologies for not being able to make it.¡±
The crowd broke into a cheer after hearing that the meal was going to be free.
¡°Thank you, Best Actor!¡±
¡°We¡¯re in for a treat!¡±
¡°The Japanese cuisine at the Jin Cheng Hotel has always been my favorite!¡±
The power of free food was strong. The crowd ignored Pei Zhen and surged forward. They turned all their attention to Fu Sichen, andvished praises on him.
Pei Zhen stepped to the side.
He gave Fu Sichen a wry smile, and said, ¡°Sayonara.¡± Then, he turned and left.
¡°Pei Zhen!¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s manager Xiao Nian yelled, ¡°Do you have any idea of what you¡¯ve just done? You issued a challenge to Fu Sichen¡¯s face! You¡¯re clearly provoking a fight! This is self-destruction!¡±
¡°Why are you so negative about your own artiste, Xiao Nian? Do you really think that I¡¯m that bad?¡± Before the media could turn their attention to him, Pei Zhen quickly started to walk out of the award ceremony.
¡°It¡¯s not that you¡¯re bad, or anything like that. It¡¯s just that Fu Sichen is too good.¡±
Pei Zhen was speechless.
What kind of manager puts down his own artiste by praising other people!
Worried that this was too great of a blow to Pei Zhen¡¯s self-confidence, Xiao Nian reassured him, ¡°Don¡¯t be too upset, Pei Zhen. Fu Sichen has been in the industry for much longer than you have. So don¡¯t be too discouraged. You¡¯ll have your chance when he receives his Lifetime Achievement Award in two years¡¯ time.¡±
Pei Zhen suddenly stopped, turned his head, and smiled innocently at Xiao Nian. ¡°Do you know what I said to Fu Sichen?¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s eyelids twitched involuntarily as a bad feeling came over him. ¡°What did you say to him?¡±
¡°That one day, I would have him bow down to me and call me daddy.¡±
After a moment of silence, Xiao Nian yelled at the top of his voice, ¡°Pei Zhen! You rascal!¡±

Pei Zhen¨C a superstar with more than 50 million Weibo fans¨C had been abandoned by his own manager in the parking lot.
As a thoughtful gesture to protect the privacy of the actors, the organizer of the awards ceremony made sure that the secret underground passage between the event and the parking lot was avable for use.
When Pei Zhen was driving towards the exit of the parking lot, most guests were still celebrating at the awards ceremony.
He made a call to his personal assistant, asking him to pick him up. He didn¡¯t forget toin about his manager at the same time. ¡°He¡¯s so grim and cruel¡ Xiao Nian is way too temperamental. He¡¯s definitely going to age quickly if this goes on. I¡¯ll sue him for workce harassment!¡±
The personal assistant felt immense pressure from being caught between both sides¨C the manager and the artiste. ¡°Eh¡ But Brother Pei Zhen¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m jealous or anything. Your Brother Pei Zhen is actually a pretty generous person. It¡¯s just that¡¡±
It¡¯s just that Pei Zhen really hated being defeated by Fu Sichen.
¡°Watch out!¡±
The sound of screeching tires came from behind him. The blinding headlights cast the long shadow of Pei Zhen onto the ground. A pure white Persian cat jumped out of the murky darkness, and they locked with each other. Pei Zhen noticed that the cat¡¯s eyes were clear blue, just like the color of the sky.
Crystal blue. Just like the color of ake.
¡°Meow.¡±
¡°He¡¯s not in danger for now, but he¡¯s sustained a serious brain injury. If he¡¯s lucky, he¡¯ll regain consciousness soon; if not, he might end up in a permanently vegetative state. I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Pei Zhen could hear people talking around him. When he heard the phrase ¡°vegetative state,¡± he panicked, and struggled to open his eyes.
He was too handsome to have his life turn out this way!
¡°How could this have happened?¡± Through the slits of his eyes, Pei Zhen could see Xiao Nian sobbing uncontrobly. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡ I shouldn¡¯t have left him there by himself.¡±
Pei Zhen grunted, and continued struggling to open his eyes. He wanted to chide Xiao Nian, ¡°Why are you only admitting your mistakes now?¡± However, he began to realize that something was terribly wrong¨C the silhouettes around him started to look strangelyrge.
When did his effeminate manager be this tall? No¡ this was beyond tall. This was huge.
¡°Pei Zhen, I¡¯m sorry¡ so very sorry. Please wake up. I¡¯ll let you do anything you want¨C whether that be yelling at the media, or even reprimanding your evil fans¡ Please just wake up, Pei Zhen!¡±
¡°Shush.¡± A low voice boomed, ¡°Get out if you can¡¯t be quiet.¡±
The voice sounded familiar.
Pei Zhen recognized it right away.
Fu Sichen!
Pei Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring angrily at the man while cursing under his breath. But, all that came out was a meow.
What?
He tried speaking again, ¡°Meow.¡±
Meow, meow, meow?
Unconsciously, Pei Zhen reached out to touch his throat. Instead of an Adam¡¯s apple, there was only fur. Even his hands seemed to feel strange.
Pei Zhen froze and looked down. His tiny hands were covered with short white fur. He turned them over to only to see fleshy pink paw pads that looked like plum blossoms.
Not only his hands, but even his body felt strange now. Pei Zhen looked further down, only to see a swinging tail.
Holy cow!
He¡ he¡ he had turned into a cat!
Someone eximed, ¡°The cat is awake!¡± This reaffirmed what his instinct had already told him. Xiao Nian reached out to hold Pei Zhen up, before crying out, ¡°Oh¡ oh¡ Did you know that he was hit by a car because he wanted to save your life?¡±
Superstar Pei Zhen felt humiliated being held in the air so easily. It really made him just want to go find a ce to die!
Yes.
He finally remembered how the ident had urred.

Before all this had happened, he remembered that a white Persian cat had appeared in the underground parking lot. It had suddenly leaped out in front of an approaching car.
Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t had time to think about how the cat had gotten there. He simply threw himself forward to protect the cat from being hit by the oing vehicle.
Right when he had just managed to grab hold of the cat, the car ended up hitting both of them with a loud crash.
So, what had happened after that?
Having trouble believing all of this was reality, Pei Zhen sank his ws into Xiao Nian before springing towards the direction of the bathroom. Xiao Nian cried out in pain.
From the perspective of a cat, all of his surroundings seemed to be magnified a few times. He also found that his senses had been heightened. Pei Zhen found that he could easily jump onto a sink counter that was at least a meter high.
He stared at the cat in the mirror. His reflection stared back at him.
Sapphire blue eyes, a glossy coat of pure white fur¨C what was staring back at him was clearly the reflection of a purebred Persian cat.
I¡¯ve really turned into a cat!
Pei Zhen felt like crying.
¡°Is Jerry there?¡± An anxious female voice came from outside the bathroom. Pei Zhen thought that this voice sounded familiar too. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a white dress.
¡°Best Actor Fu what brings you here? Um¡ I heard that my cat¡¡±
¡°Please give me a moment.¡± Fu Sichen walked into the bathroom without giving her a straight answer.
Whenever this handsome man was in sight, Pei Zhen would be alert. Before he could jump away, Fu Sichen quickly caught him.
Pei Zhen: ¡°Let me go!¡±
Pei Zhen: ¡°You *sshole!¡±
Pei Zhen: ¡°Scram! Don¡¯t touch me with your filthy hands!
But no matter how much Pei Zhen tried to scream and struggle, all that came out was a weak meow.
This was so frustrating!
¡°Yes, that¡¯s him.¡± Thedy ran forward when she saw Fu Sichene out with Pei Zhen in his arms. ¡°This is great! Jerry¡¯s fine. It¡¯s all my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have brought him to the award ceremony in the first ce.¡±
That would exin why the cat was roaming around the parking lot.
Pei Zhen looked at thedy with mixed emotions.
She was a pretty young thing.
Recently, she had been active in the entertainment circle.
She had been nominated for Best Actress at the awards ceremonyst night.
Being aszy as he was, Pei Zhen normally didn¡¯t bother remembering names and faces. In the entertainment circle, the only person he could really remember was his rival, Fu Sichen.
¡°I thought I lost him, so I was devastated. Thank you for saving him, Best Actor Fu.¡± Thedy smiled sweetly while reaching out her slender arms towards the cat. ¡°This must be fate.¡±
Fu Sichen stepped back, not letting her touch the cat. ¡°Miss Lin Yousu.¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°It was Pei Zhen who saved him, not me.¡±
Lin Yousu was stunned and speechless for a moment. Then, she remembered the news about the ident, before immediately expressing her gratitude. ¡°So the report was true? It was really Mr. Pei Zhen who saved my cat¡¯s life? Is he¡ is he alright? I¡¯d be more than happy to foot his medical bills as a token of my appreciation.¡±
However, Fu Sichen replied coldly, ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. I¡¯ll be the one taking care of the medical fees. But, I do have a proposition for you¡ª I¡¯d like to buy your cat.¡±
¡°Fu Sichen¡ Best Actor Fu? Do you¡ do you like Persian cats too?¡±
¡°No.¡± Fu Sichen paid no heed to the cat, who by now, was already yowling hysterically. He continued to hold it tightly before saying, ¡°Miss Lin Yousu, I know this is hard for you. But, please name your price. You can name whatever amount you¡¯d like.¡±
¡°This cat is very dear to me.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I said that price wasn¡¯t an issue, Miss Lin Yousu. All you have to do is name a price.¡±

Lin Yousu hadn¡¯t owned the Persian cat for very long. As a result, she hadn¡¯t gotten very attached. However, she knew that she¡¯d have to y along if she wanted things to move forward in a certain way.
Of course, Lin Yousu wasn¡¯t after mary gains. She asked cleverly, ¡°Bringing money into this would only serve to sour our rtionship. If Best Actor Fu likes Jerry that much, then I can just gift him to you. I just have one request. Would it be possible for me to visit him in the future?¡±
Under these circumstances, this was really a difficult request to reject. Even so, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t immediately agree. Instead, he simply insisted that his manager write Lin Yousu a check.
Pei Zhen was furious.
It was pathetic enough to have turned into a cat in the first ce. Who would¡¯ve thought that he would end up being sold to his sworn enemy!
Pei Zhen wriggled until he was exhausted, all the while yowling here and there. He even scratched Fu Sichen three times. But, even all of his protests couldn¡¯t shake Fu Sichen¡¯s determination to adopt him.
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t bear to watch this go on any longer. ¡°Best Actor Fu, um¡ Surely, you can¡¯t be thinking about getting revenge for Pei Zhen, right? I know that he was hit by a car because he was trying to save this cat. But, a cat¡¯s life is a life all the same.¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Fu Sichen squinted at Xiao Nian indifferently before turning to rest his gaze on Pei Zhen, who was lying on a bed. ¡°He saved this cat¡¯s life.¡±
¡°So, I¡¯ll look after this cat well.¡±
¡°This cat is a hero for putting this fool into a half-dead state.¡±
Fool? Hero?
Don¡¯t go overboard, Fu Sichen!
Pei Zhen was absolutely livid after he finished listening to all of this. He jumped up and broke free of the hands that were pinning him down. Then, he leaned up to bite Fu Sichen on his chin with a lot of force.
¡°Hiss.¡±
In the end, Pei Zhen still ended up being taken away by Fu Sichen.
Fu Sichen¡¯s residence was located in a vibrant area of the city center.
However, the exorbitant price of the high-rise building couldn¡¯t make up for how cold the house felt.
Besides the cool-toned furniture, the only other form of decoration was a television set, and the wine that was disyed on top of the bar in his spacious living room.
Even though Pei Zhen felt pleased with himself for sessfully biting Fu Sichen, he still ended up being poked and prodded by the veterinarian.
One of the injections had a tranquilizing effect. Pei Zhen was now shut in a cage. His body was limp, and he couldn¡¯t muster a bit of strength.
Fu Sichen walked towards the sofa while speaking on the phone with his manager. ¡°Dy the work assignment¡ at least for three days. Yes, I¡¯m now the owner of a pet cat. You don¡¯t need to worry about it. I¡¯ll make it up somewhere in my work schedule.¡±
Then, like he had just thought of something, Fu Sichen turned on the television. News about Pei Zhen could be seen everywhere. The coverage was overwhelming.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¯s ident¨C Was It Because He Was Disheartened After Losing the Best Actor Award?¡±
¡°The Night of the Film Awards, Pei Zhen Left in a Huff.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen in ident After Trying to Save Cat.¡±
The media was mainly hoping to write news reports that could go viral. With regards to this ident, many ill-intentioned reporters had even imed that Pei Zhen had died.
What were all of these people even talking about!
They¡¯re the ones who should be dead, not him!
He had just been about to sumb to the effects of the tranquilizer, but Pei Zhen stubbornly willed himself to stay awake. Pulling at the edge of the cage, he stared at the television. He prepared himself to go up against these ill-intentioned reporters after he had recovered.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡± The look on Fu Sichen¡¯s face was not pleasant at all as he interrupted his manager¡¯s tirade. ¡°Please sort out the news reports about Pei Zhen. Give the reporters a lesson on what they can and can¡¯t write about.¡±
The caged-up Pei Zhen was stunned for a moment, before starting to feel agitated all over again. He angrily yelled at Fu Sichen, ¡°Hey! Fu Sichen! Are you trying to get all the reporters to say that I¡¯m dead? You¡¯re destroying my career, you evil man!¡±
The cat in the cage wouldn¡¯t stop meowing. Fu Sichen assumed that he was hungry so he got up to prepare some cat food. ¡°Keep this from Pei Zhen¡¯s parents. Don¡¯t let them worry about this¡±.

Pei Zhen had to admit that Fu Sichen was a really filial child.
Fu Sichen was adopted. But, he had always been more attentive than Pei Zhen when it came to family. When it came to remembering their parents¡¯ birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrating holidays, he had always been better at it than Pei Zhen. Even Pei Zhen¡¯s own mother had said that Pei Zhen had probably been picked up from the trash somewhere.
They were really going too far.
After the phone call, Fu Sichen poured a packet of cat food into a bowl.
The man stood at an impressive height of 190 centimeters. At this point and time, the sleeve of his zer had been rolled halfway up his arm which exposed his wristbone. It was quite sexy.
If you looked up, you could see Fu Sichen¡¯s rather firm jawline, slightly pursed lips, and an expression of intense concentration.
Pei Zhen coughed twice.
Pei Zhen looked away ufortably, before lowering his head and shifting his gaze towards the marble floor. He realized that he had been staring. For the first time in his life, he acknowledged that Fu Sichen was really good-looking.
Hmmm. I really do have good taste. Even my sworn rival is outstanding.
¡°Hungry?¡± Completely unaware of the cat¡¯s thoughts, Best Actor Fu walked over with a bowl of cat food. He knelt down and said, ¡°If you meow for me, I¡¯ll give you some food.¡±
Saying this reminded him of Pei Zhen¡¯s earlier provocation. Heughed while saying, ¡°Call me Daddy.¡±
What?
Pei Zhen looked up in disbelief, ring at Fu Sichen with his huge round eyes. He really wished that he could give that man a proper kick.
The anger on the cat¡¯s face was unmistakable.
Fu Sichen was stunned by this angry stare. For some reason, it reminded him of Pei Zhen.
The cat that Pei Zhen rescued even had a simr personality to him.
Of course, Fu Sichen quickly brushed off this notion. He dismissed it as simply an illusion caused by the recent fluctuations in his own emotions.
In the end, Fu Sichen decided not to tease the cat anymore. Instead, he ced the bowl of food in the cage.
Afraid that the cat wouldn¡¯t be able to adjust, not only did Fu Sichen buy high-quality cat food, but he had even purchased a variety of cat treats.
However, after Fu Sichen had ced the bowl into the cage, the cat reacted in an irritable manner. With a swipe of his paw, he overturned the bowl!
I don¡¯t eat cat food, you piece of scum!
The cat lowered his head after overturning the dish. He was nowpletely ignoring Fu Sichen.
He was in a bad mood.
He was tired.
Not only was he a human being that had turned into a cat, but he had even been adopted by his enemy. How humiliating!
It might get better after he slept.
Maybe after he woke up, he would find out that everything had been a dream.
The white Persian cat turned himself around so that his butt pointed straight at Best Actor Fu. Then, he lied down, curled himself into a ball, and closed his eyes as though nobody else was around him.
Fu Sichen was feeling a little annoyed.
Best Actor Fu never had to lift a finger to do his own chores, but here he was, serving a cat that even didn¡¯t appreciate his hard work!
¡°Hmph.¡± Fu Sichen got up, looking at the ball of fur, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat, then don¡¯t eat.¡±
If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Pei Zhen had put his life in jeopardy to save this cat, then he really couldn¡¯t be bothered doing all of this.
Cats. They were irritating creatures.
Rather than focusing on the moody cat, Fu Sichen was more worried about Pei Zhen¡¯s condition. He changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and left.
The main door shut with a soft thud, waking up Pei Zhen.
This anesthesia did nothing to numb the sharp senses of an animal.
It was now dark. The blinds of the French windows hadn¡¯t been fully drawn shut. The ambient light that came through formed a soft glowing circle on the floor.
Rumble¡
Pei Zhen¡¯s stomach was growling, reminding him that it was time to eat. Despite the tempting smell of the cat food, he simply couldn¡¯t bring himself to eat it.
Rubbing his empty stomach, Pei Zhen looked up, studying the cage.
Thanks to the sharp night vision of a cat, he quickly found an opening in the cage.

The inside of Fu Sichen¡¯s home was simple.
Itpletely reflected his cold nature.
Pei Zhen used his starving cat body to pry open the refrigerator door.
It waspletely empty.
With such a hectic filming schedule, it wasn¡¯t surprising that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t keep food in his refrigerator.
¡°Ah¡ why is everything so annoying?¡± Pei Zhen clutched his head between his paws, feeling frustrated. ¡°I¡¯ve only done good things in my life, but I still ended up bing a cat! Why?!¡±
If he had known that things would end up like this, he wouldn¡¯t have jumped out to rescue that cat no matter what!
Pei Zhennded on all fours after shutting the refrigerator door sullenly. Then, he immediately jumped agilely onto the kitchen counter. Sniffing around, he could only smell cat food.
It was really hopeless.
Swallowing whatever was left of his pride, egotistic superstar Pei Zhen refused to give in to temptation just yet. Nimbly jumping off of the high countertop, he walked towards Fu Sichen¡¯s bedroom.
Fu Sichen¡¯s room was decorated simply, just like the living room had been.
White walls, grey sheets, and a desk that had an Appleptop on it.
He wasn¡¯t in the mood to make sarcasticments about how cold Fu Sichen was, so he simplynded on the desk in one clean jump. He wanted to ce an order for delivery.
From the time of the identst night until now, he had been hungry for a little over a day. If he didn¡¯t eat something soon, then he would really feel like life was hopeless.
Although he had found aputer, he didn¡¯t have the password to ess it!
¡°Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!¡± Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but curse under his breath as he struck the keyboard almost fanatically.
Suddenly, theputer unlocked with a ding. Just like that, Pei Zhen had managed to gain ess to Fu Sichen¡¯sputer.
Huh?
Huh?!
Pei Zhen frowned slightly as he tried to remember what had just happened. If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, then the password he had randomly entered just now was his birthday.
Fu Sichen, his rival, had set his, Pei Zhen¡¯s, birthday as hisputer password!
Even more bizarre, Fu Sichen had used his, Pei Zhen¡¯s, picture as the wallpaper for his home screen!
What kind of strange development was this?
¡°I really am handsome.¡± Staring at his own photograph, Pei Zhen forgot his hunger for a moment. He rested his cheeks on his paws and sighed. He couldn¡¯t help but remark, ¡°Damn, I really am good-looking.¡±
Maybe that was the reason?
His unbelievable good-looks were so powerful that they had even charmed the enemy?
With this thought in mind, everything made sense to Pei Zhen now. Moving his paws a few times, he brought up the food delivery website. He couldn¡¯t help but think to himself, ¡°How did I turn out this perfect?¡±
Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t logged out of his ount. Not caring whether Fu Sichen would find out, Pei Zhen went straight for a seafood restaurant.
Fresh fish, fatty prawns, and fragrant ms¡ Pei Zhen could already imagine the how delicious the seafood was just by looking at the pictures. Clicking away with his paws, he ced a stack of orders.
Confirm. Pay.
Probably for convenience, Fu Sichen had enabled payment without the need for secured verification. Of course, this worked well for Pei Zhen.
After cing the order, Pei Zhen essed Weibo. As expected, he was all over the headlines.
¡°Pei Zhen Car ident¡±
Compared to the news that Pei Zhen has seen on the television, the discussion on Weibo was much milder.
None of the horrible rumors like ¡°Runner-up Pei Zhen Disheartened¡±, or ¡°Pei Zhen is Dead¡± were trending. The most popr article even gave an urate ount of the situation.
¡°Pei Zhen had an ident because he was trying to save a cat. What a touching and noble act! All creatures are equal in Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes! From now on, I¡¯m a fan. Let¡¯s learn from Pei Zhen and protect the animals! Let¡¯s pray for Pei Zhen¡¯s speedy recovery. A good person will have good karma!¡±
Pei Zhen was left speechless.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After reading that article, Pei Zhen felt like throwing the mouse on the ground
All they needed to do was state the facts. Was it really necessary to be so dramatic, or to try and make him look like some kind of saint?!
Not to mention, the writing was both childish and pretentious. Didn¡¯t people feel embarrass to read it?
It didn¡¯t take Pei Zhen very much to figure out who might have suggested that this sort of article be written.
It had to be that unreliable manager of his, Xiao Nian.
¡°The fact that I¡¯m a saint is already pretty obvious. There really isn¡¯t a need for this kind of propaganda.¡± Pei Zhen fired off a mouthful of profanities. Just as he was about to click to send, he remembered with a jolt¨C this wasn¡¯t his ount.
Weibo ID: FuShaosiXHPZ
Pei Zhen saw that at the end of Best Actor Fu¡¯s ount name, was a string of letters that he couldn¡¯t make sense of.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t be bothered to think too deeply about things that he didn¡¯t understand. He was about to log out of Fu Sichen¡¯s Weibo ount to log into his own, when a line in Fu Sichen¡¯s introduction caught his attention. He paused. It was just too ring.
Fu Sichen, winner of the Best Actor Award for three years in a row.
¡°Bah, it¡¯s just Best Actor. What¡¯s he so proud of!¡± Pei Zhen was going to swear again, but by now, he was already too annoyed. He closed the webpage. ¡°He gets more and more pompous by the day!¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t dislike Fu Sichen for no reason at all.
Pei Zhen felt like he had been born with bad luck.
Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have ended up being Fu Sichen¡¯s neighbor until they were in high school, when his family had moved away.
Since childhood, Fu Sichen had always been more outstanding than he was.
Pei Zhen¡¯s life had been unlucky¨C after he moved, he ended up being Fu Sichen¡¯s neighbor yet again; and when he changed school, he ended up in the same school as Fu Sichen. He could only takefort in the fact that Fu Sichen was two years his senior.
But even then, his parents would always find ways topare them.
Whether it be height, grades, or even poprity with girls¡
The arrogant brat, Pei Zhen, could never match up to Fu Sichen.
He hated that he couldn¡¯tpete with Fu Sichen. Eventually, graduating from university, he was spotted by a talent scout. That was how he had stumbled into the entertainment industry.
¡°Ahhhh!¡± a depressed Pei Zhen grabbed his head with his paws. The feel of thick fur only served to make him even more aware of his own plight. His depression deepened.
¡°How did I turn into a cat?¡±
Recalling how the ident had happened, and the condition that his body had ended up in, Pei Zhen felt like everything he had built up until now was falling apart.
Butpared to learning about how he had turned into a cat, Pei Zhen was more concerned with how he could turn back.
¡°Ding-dong.¡±
The doorbell rang from the living room. Pei Zhen quickly switched off theputer. His ears were erect, and he was trying to hear the number of rings.
Three rings.
After the ringing, there were three knocks at the door.
That must be the delivery guy!
He felt himself getting hungry all over again. Pei Zhen quickly jumped off the desk and ran out like a whirlwind.
With all of his might, he pushed a chair towards the main door. He used the ws on his hind legs to anchor him in ce.
The door swung open. You could only see the delivery bag, with the delivery guy nowhere to be found. Pei Zhen picked up the bag, walked in, shut the door, and returned the chair to its original position.
After doing all of that, he feltpletely exhausted.
Still, it was worth all of the hard work. Food bought with the money of his enemy smelt exceptionally delicious. After the meal, Pei Zhen gave a satisfactory burp.
Now, he needed to take out the trash.
It was rare to see Pei Zhen use his brain for once. Besides calling for delivery, he had also told the restaurant that he wanted them to send it in a dissolvable food container.
Pei Zhen flushed the empty food container down the toilet. He made a leap onto the sink counter to wash his face, and gave his lower body a rough cleaning. After all that, he finally returned to his cage.
Whoops.
The door opened.
Fu Sichen was home.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The doctor diagnosed Pei Zhen as being in aatose state due to head trauma suffered during the ident.
Miraculously, apart from his head injury, the rest of him seemed to be unharmed and functioning normally.
Fu Sichen was relieved for now, especially after hearing that Pei Zhen¡¯s life wasn¡¯t in danger.
He had wanted to keep vigil at the hospital. However, Xiao Nian, seeing how exhausted he looked, suggested that he went home.
Pei Zhen was originally drowsy after his meal. But, he was startled awake once more due to the sound of the door opening.
Light streamed in from the corridor. He could tell from Fu Sichen¡¯s silhouette that he was exhausted. Lazily lying on his stomach, Pei Zhen looked at him through squinted eyes.
He came home thiste. Was he tired after going out for a rendezvous?
Who would¡¯ve thought? The highly-acimed Best Actor Fu actually had such a depraved side to him.
¡°Meow.¡±
Pei Zhen yawnedzily. He nonchntly observed Fu Sichen enter the house and shut the door behind him. His eyes closed slowly¡ But then, Best Actor Fu, his sworn enemy, let out a muffled whimper.
¡°Rascal.¡±
Pei Zhen looked on in silence.
The grief that was evident on Fu Sichen¡¯s face was so heavy, he could practically touch it. It was inexplicably reminiscent of someone who was heartbroken.
But if that was the case, then why did he say the word ¡°rascal?¡±
Beginning to feel his thoughts wander, Pei Zhen stopped himself from thinking about it any deeper than that, and hurriedly fell asleep.
Just go to sleep.
He couldn¡¯t even help himself, so how could he help that scumbag?
This was all definitely a dream! Tomorrow morning, he would wake up to face a brand-new day!
Growing up with an outstanding person like Fu Sichen, if there was anything that Pei Zhen had learned, then it was an ever-increasing ability tofort himself.
Pei Zhen had no desire to think deeper into what Fu Sichen had meant when he said the word ¡°rascal.¡± He spread out onto his stomach, and attempted to go to sleep. That morning, he woke up because he really had to pee.
After a night of digestion, his dder was about to burst. It kept on protesting violently.
He still thought that he was in the body of a human.
Getting up, with his eyes still blurry with sleep, he started walking. Almost immediately, he crashed into the cage wall.
He heard the sound of a crash and yelped in pain.
Now, Pei Zhen was fully awake. When all he saw were his furry paws, he let out a curse under his breath.
A cat!
He was still a cat!
Why were the Gods so mean to him!
He sulked. Out of the corner of his eye Pei Zhen could see Fu Sichen¡¯s bedroom. The door was tightly shut. Emboldened, he flipped open the cage door to make a dash for the toilet.
The toilet was about a meter off the ground.
Pei Zhen pressed his hind legs against the floor, with his paws by his sides. He looked up towards that liberating destination with a great sense of urgency.
There was no way that he was going to lift his hind leg so he could pee, like some animal.
So now what?
Pei Zhen nced at the toilet bowl. For two seconds, he had mixed feelings. Then, he took a leap,nding on the edge of the seat. His legs were syed out. Feeling disgraced, he looked downwards.
His testicles were still there.
Good thing he hadn¡¯t been neutered yet.
Completely ignorant to how a cat normally peed, Pei Zhen hopelessly gave up. He covered his face with his paws and started to relief himself.
He missed wearing pants.
Pei Zhen decided that he would go online to buy himself a few pairs of cat pants as soon as Fu Sichen left.
But, Fu Sichen was sure to find out about the purchase. Pei Zhen wondered if that scumbag, Fu Sichen, would demean him or torture him, if he ever found out that he had turned into this cat.
The more Pei Zhen thought about it, the more afraid he became. He was now obsessing over the delivery order from the night before. He started to panic.
He had been too careless. How could he have been so thoughtless. He¡
¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Suddenly, a voice boomed next to his ear. Pei Zhen froze and turned his head towards the sound.
Fu Sichen was standing at the door, and Pei Zhen was still stuck in an awkward position, with his hind legs still syed out on each side of the toilet bowl.

¡°Ahhhh!¡±
Pei Zhen shrieked, and his legs slipped. Losing all control, he fell into the toilet bowl.
I just peed in there!
Kill me!
Pei Zhen¡¯s broken spirit hit an unprecedented low; he felt faint. What were the chances, really? Someone took hold of the scruff on his neck, and with a strong pull, finally lifted him out of the toilet.
Thank god!
Trembling, Pei Zhen looked back. Thoroughly soaked, he could only look at Fu Sichen with his huge round cat eyes and let out a weak meow.
¡°Pei Zhen?¡± Fu Sichen called out without thinking. Stunned by his own reaction, he covered his mouth. He carefully sized up this cat before him.
Cat. Not human.
Maybe he missed Pei Zhen too much.
Fu Sichen squeezed his fists and rxed them again. There was suspicion in his eyes. ¡°Are you done?¡± He finally said.
Pei Zhen kept his silence.
You didn¡¯t really think cats could understand humannguage, did you? What made you so sure?!
Having said that, Pei Zhen responded with a meow.
Fu Sichen raised his sword-like eyebrows for a moment. Without another word, he took the cat into the living room.
The cage door was open. Even though thetch wasn¡¯tpletely secure, it would still have been difficult for an animal to pry open.
Fu Sichen examined the closure mechanism and looked at the cat. His inquiring look sent a shiver up Pei Zhen¡¯s spine. He struggled to free himself from Fu Sichen¡¯s grip, and with a swish, escaped back into the cage.
What next?
Should he act coy, or try to act cute?
Pei Zhen bent his hind legs andid his body down, with his paws lightly resting on Fu Sichen¡¯sp. Then, in the most pleasing manner he could muster, he meowed at him twice.
This was stooping to a whole new low!
Pei Zhen felt totally stripped of his ego. But, after seeing Fu Sichen¡¯s gentle gaze, he felt encouraged enough to swing his tail back and forth.
¡°Good boy.¡± As though he had just experienced a joyous event, Fu Sichen finally gave a slight smile. ¡°Meow for me again.¡±
Pei Zhen retracted his ws immediately. He really just couldn¡¯t stand how smug this guy was.
He was so annoying!
He was so annoying that he remembered his school days all over again.
Fifteen, sixteen year-olds were curious about everything. They wanted to fly before they could even walk.
In the early 2000s, DVD yers were in vogue, and they weren¡¯t cheap.
Remembering it now, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but feel annoyed with himself for impulsively buying a DVD yer.
At that time, he was still in junior high. He had just started taking Physics sses. Feeling overly confident after just having taken three practical sses, he got home and took apart his DVD yer.
After dismantling the machine, he was stunned. Looking at theplicated electrical circuits, he realized that he had no idea how to put them back together.
So what happened in the end?
Little Brat Pei Zhen had to put aside his ego to plead with the genius in the ss next door.
Handsome Genius Fu Sichen.
Even though they were clearly wearing the same ck and white uniform, Fu Sichen would always manage to look like a handsome prince while wearing it. Granted, he wasn¡¯t half as kind as he was good-looking. To make fun of Pei Zhen, he made Pei Zhen call him ¡°big brother¡± a couple of times.
¡°Big Brother, please help me.¡±
¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re the best.¡±
¡°Big Brother, I like you the most.¡±
This was all so that Pei Zhen¡¯s father wouldn¡¯t find out what the Little Brat Pei had done. Pei Zhen had to say all of these humiliating things to his sworn enemy. This included his first love confession.
Damn ¡°I like you!¡± Damn ¡°Big Brother!¡±
Fu Sichen was definitely the most hateful person in the world!
Pei Zhen stared at the man before him, new and old hatred all rolled into one. He felt his blood boil. Then, in an explosion of anger, he viciously swung his ws twice at Best Actor Fu!

Chapter 10: He¡¯s Had His Heart Broken
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The wound on Best Actor Fu¡¯s chin hadn¡¯t fully recovered before his cat had left another scratch on his arm the very next day.
Furthermore, if he had been a little slower to dodge, his face would have been disfigured.
¡°Little brat.¡± The pain caused Fu Sichen to draw in a breath of cold air. Examining the scratch on his arm, his onlyfort was that he wouldn¡¯t need to wear any short-sleeve shirts for his shoot that was in a few days.
This cat definitely shared the same traits as THAT guy.
They were both arrogant as hell.
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t a person who took well to inconveniences. He also didn¡¯t really like cats. But when it came to this particr Persian cat, it was as though he was under some spell. The thought of abandoning him never even crossed his mind.
By now, he had already given up trying to solve the mystery of the cage door.
As Fu Sichen didn¡¯t have to rush to any assignments today, he had the rare chance to enjoy a leisurely meal. He opened the refrigerator with the intention of preparing breakfast, only to find that it was empty.
¡°Tsk.¡± Fu Sichen made a call to his manager. ¡°I need some sd, eggs, bacon, and bread¡ Oh, and get me a bag of cat litter on the way.¡±
It was definitely more convenient to buy a cat that had already been owned by someone before. At the very least, when it came to hygiene, the Persian cat hadn¡¯t let Fu Sichen down.
Of course, Fu Sichen also had a list of errands for his manager. Before the manager could protest, Fu Sichen ended the call. He turned around and utched the cage door.
Even an animal had the right to freedom.
Fu Sichen had especially opened the door to the balcony with the thought that the cat might enjoy a bit of sun.
Pei Zhenpletely ignored Fu Sichen.
He had an uninterested expression on his face, and went back to sleep.
Turning into a cat had its advantages. At least, he didn¡¯t have to go to shoots and interviews, he didn¡¯t have to rush to his work assignments, and he could finally sleep to his heart¡¯s content.
The only that that sucked was that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t have a shoot today either.
The Persian cat didn¡¯t want to leave his cage, and Fu Sichen didn¡¯t force him to either. He made himself a cup of coffee, sat on the sofa, and read his script.
Pei Zhen¡¯s soulless body was lying in the hospital. Fu Sichen had nned to visit again after having breakfast.
He was worried about Pei Zhen.
During the awards ceremony, Fu Sichen had a realization shortly after Pei Zhen had left. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to entertain the other celebrities. Thus, he had his manager represent him at the banquet instead.
Fu Sichen got a call from Xiao Nian right as he stepped out of the venue for the event.
The great Manager Xiao, who had always been well-known for his capabilities, was crying his heart out, ¡°Best Actor Fu, Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen¡ He¡ He was in an ident. What do we do now?! What do we do now?!¡±
Nobody would be able to understand how Fu Sichen had felt at that moment.
It was as if someone was both holding and squeezing his heart tightly. Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t even remember how he had made it to the entrance of the parking lot, how he had sent Pei Zhen to the hospital, or even what his emotions had been when he was waiting for the doctor¡¯s diagnosis.
Fortunately, that little brat didn¡¯t die.
Unable to concentrate on his script any longer, Fu Sichen let out a long sigh of relief. His swollen eyes were painful. He couldn¡¯t help but turn to look towards the cat in the cage.
Subtly aware that he was being observed, Pei Zhenzily opened his eyes. The moment his gaze met Fu Sichen¡¯s reddened ones, his heart skipped a beat.
Woah, woah, woah. What the hell was going on?
He¡¯s had his heart broken.
Pei Zhen was a little flustered. In his mind, Fu Sichen was cold and cruel. Not even the Buddha could make him emotional. Pei Zhen never thought he would ever see Fu Sichen hurt like this.
¡°Ras¡ cal.¡±
A¡ a man?
No, it couldn¡¯t be.
The moment this thought surfaced, Pei Zhen immediately dismissed it. He remembered when they were still in school, he had fallen in love with learning Physics. Every day, he would look for new topics to ask their Physics teacher. At that time, Fu Sichen had gotten extremely angry for some reason. He even tried to stop this from happening by offering to tutor Pei Zhen.
And¡ that physics teacher had been female.
Something that could make Fu Sichen turn out like this¡ could only be¡ love.

Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t in high spirits. Logically speaking, Pei Zhen should have been quite pleased with himself.
But in reality, Pei Zhen somehow overcame hisziness to walk out of the cage. Taking an agile leap upwards, the cat immediately nestled near Fu Sichen¡¯s body.
Having exerted too much force during the jump, the catnded higher up on Fu Sichen¡¯sp than he had anticipated. He wasn¡¯t too sure if he was overthinking things, but Pei Zhen seemed to notice that the temperature was a little higher where their bodies made contact.
Cr*p. He felt like putting some distance between them.
Only, if he were to back away now, would it upset Fu Sichen even further? Not only would he have been dumped by someone, even his cat would have treated him with disdain.
Although Pei Zhen looked like he was calmly lying there, he was actually panicking in his heart. Before he could make the decision on whether to stay or leave, the doorbell rang.
Thank god.
Pei Zhen acted like he was surprised, and took the opportunity to get up and keep his distance.
Fu Sichen gave the cat a quick rub before getting up to open the door.
It was Wang Youquan, Fu Sichen¡¯s manager.
Wang Youquan was carrying vegetables in his left hand, meat in his right, and a bag of cat litter over his shoulder. Breathless, he red at Fu Sichen as though Fu Sichen had killed his father.
¡°Thanks.¡± Fu Sichen took the vegetables and meat from Wang Youquan, and directed him where to ce the cat litter. After that, Fu Sichen said, ¡°You can go now.¡±
¡°Wait a second.¡± Wang Youquan looked tall and well-built, with taut muscles hidden under his white shirt. However, this picture of masculinity waspletely ruined the moment he spoke. His voice was extremely gentle. ¡°Fu Sichen, do you even have a conscience?¡±
Wang Youquan had problems with his vocal cords, but it had gotten better in recent years. In the past, people would even mistake his voice for that of a woman if they hadn¡¯t seen his face.
But even if things had gotten better now, the tone of his voice was still very gentle, even when he was angry.
Fu Sichen scoffed, giving two dors to his manager, ¡°Here¡¯s a tip for helping me run my errands. Buy yourself some mineral water from the mall downstairs.¡±
¡°Tsk.¡± Even though Wang Youquan still found his attitude to be quite demeaning, he kept the two coins in his hands. Unaware of Fu Sichen¡¯s mood, Wang Youquan shut the door behind him. ¡°Are you really keeping a cat?¡±
Fu Sichen had stuck a bandage on his chin, and there were also a few fresh scratches on his arm. Wang Youquan reluctantly forgave him for pushing back his work.
¡°Yup.¡± Fu Sichen confirmed as he took the vegetables and meat into the kitchen. ¡°Pour the cat litter into the cage.¡± Fu Sichen was used to giving out orders.
In the end, Wang Youquan was still too soft-hearted. With an air of resignation, he picked up the bag of cat litter.
As he walked closer, he spotted the Persian cat on the sofa.
It was pure white, without any other color mixed in. It had stunning crystal blue eyes.
¡°This is the cat that you got from Lin Yousu? The one that Pei Zhen saved?¡± Thinking of the reports in the media, Wang Youquan felt really sorry for Pei Zhen, ¡°Can you imagine getting into an ident because of a cat. Anyone who didn¡¯t know any better would have thought that it was all just a publicity stunt.¡±
Take himself, for instance.
When he first heard the story, his first thought was that it was fake.
His artiste, Best Actor Fu, and this Pei Zhen guy, had never gotten along. Now that Fu Sichen had received the award for Best Actor yet again, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising if Pei Zhen had tried to create a situation to divert the public¡¯s attention away.
Only now, Pei Zhen was really lying in the hospital.
But because Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t his artiste, Wang Youquan only felt a twinge of regret. After filling up the cage with litter, he wanted to pet the cat.
Even some purebred cats don¡¯t have this kind of pure white coloring. It was really rare to see one in-person.
¡°Good kitty kitty.¡± Thinking that he could y with the cat, Wang Youquan had even brought a cat toy with him. He ran towards the sofa. But, the Persian cat that had been quietly andzily rxing just moments earlier suddenlyshed out, viciously scratching him!

Even if he had turned into a cat, Pei Zhen was still not going to ept being called a ¡°good kitty kitty!¡±
He was emotionally distressed to begin with, but now, he had even more reason to bully Wang Youquan. He quickly followed up with another scratch, as if to emphasize that one scratch wasn¡¯t enough.
Hating the enemy meant hating every strand of hair on his body. Not to mention, this was his scheming manager.
¡°Ow¡¡±
Wang Youquan recoiled in pain, with a long, fresh wound appearing on his arm. ¡°Sichen, am I going to die? Is this going to give me rabies?¡±
¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Fu Sichen raised his arm, and used a knife to chop the piece of bone on his chopping board in two. He tossed the chopped bone into the wok, added some scallops, crushed garlic, and some other ingredients. ¡°He¡¯s such a gentle cat.¡±
Gentle, my *ss.
He was a ferocious beast!
With a jump, the ¡°gentle¡± Pei Zhennded on Wang Youquan¡¯s shoulder. Using it like a springboard, he flew towards the direction of the kitchen.
Charging towards the stovetop, he aimed his sharp ws in Fu Sichen¡¯s direction.
Fu Sichen was long prepared.
As Pei Zhen dashed towards him, Fu Sichen sidestepped to avoid the attack. With one hand, he pinned Pei Zhen down before wrestling the cat into his embrace.
¡°Acting spoiled¡ what a cute boy.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned into silence.
Wang Youquan was equally silent.
¡°Sichen, I can sense seething hatred from his eyes,¡± said Wang Youquan.
As a cat that could think and feel, no matter how displeased Pei Zhen was, he wasn¡¯tpletely without conscience. The wound on Wang Youquan¡¯s arm was only superficial. He still remembered having to get shots at the vet just the day before. Anyway, Wang Youquan was just being a crybaby.
Fu Sichen¡¯s culinary skills weren¡¯t that bad, especially considering how fragrant the simple breakfast was. And that was the reason why Wang Youquan didn¡¯t want to leave¡ª he was hoping to stay for a treat.
Breakfast consisted of a homemade sandwich, with sd and egg on toast. Topping all that off was a ss of milk toplete the nutritious meal.
Wang Youquan quickly came to the dining table. ¡°I left in a hurry this morning and haven¡¯t had time to eat breakfast.¡±
His hands reached out for the sandwich, only to have them pped away by Fu Sichen. ¡°Go and wash your hands.¡±
¡°¡ Oh¡ okay.¡±
The minute that Wang Youquan got up, Pei Zhen immediately jumped onto the table and lowered his head top up the milk.
¡°Ahhhh! My milk!¡±
After drinking his fill of Wang Youquan¡¯s milk, Pei Zhen shifted his target. He opened his mouth and took a bite of the sandwich.
¡°Ahhhh! My sandwich!¡±
Wang Youquan was devastated. He wanted to carry Pei Zhen away, but at the same time, he was scared that the cat would attack him. But the main point was that his food had been contaminated by the cat! How could he eat it now?
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t give two hoots about what Wang Youquan thought.
The sandwich had been soft and very satisfying.
Feeling that lowering his head into the food would be unsightly, and would be bad for his image, Pei Zhen even tried to use his furry paws to pick up the fork and knife.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t say a word during this whole process.
Wang Youquan was equally silent.
Feeling hurt, Wang Youquan wailed, ¡°Sichen, does this cat not eat cat food? Is there any breakfast left?¡±
¡°He¡¡± Fu Sichen thought about it for a while before he realized that this cat hadn¡¯t taken an interest to cat food. He had even overturned a bowl of it the night before.
¡°He doesn¡¯t eat cat food.¡±
¡°What about breakfast¡¡±
¡°There isn¡¯t anything left.¡±
¡°You!¡± Wang Youquan felt mortally wounded. ¡°In your eyes, am I, your manager who does everything for you unconditionally, not even able to hold a candle against a cat?¡±
Fu Sichen eyed the Persian cat, and then looked at Wang Youquan. He took out two coins from his pocket. ¡°They sell meat dumplings in the mall downstairs.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
This was Fu Sichen¡¯s first time eating with a pet.
Surprisingly, he didn¡¯t feel the least bit disgusted¡ª he even felt happy, seeing Pei Zhen munch away so heartily.
He didn¡¯t eat anything yesterday because he didn¡¯t like the cat food?
Thinking up to here, Fu Sichen pushed his sandwich towards Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen went still with shock.
Was this *sshole really taking him to be some kind of hero? Otherwise, why would he treat him like this?!
Pei Zhen felt a pang of pain, and remembered that his real body was still lying in the hospital. He really wanted to give Fu Sichen a nice p!
After breakfast, Fu Sichen scooped some bone broth into a thermos, changed his clothes, and got ready to leave the house.
Knowing that Fu Sichen was going to the hospital, Pei Zhen trotted closely behind him, trying to get across his desire to go with him.
Since he was a cat, he had no other choice. As much as he didn¡¯t like Fu Sichen, he could only depend on him.
Fu Sichen thought that the cat was bored and lonely. He picked the cat up, and took it with him.
Wang Youquan was in the parking lot. Still biting on a meat bun, his eyes welled up in tears when he saw Fu Sichen appear.
This was a continuation of the series ¡°You¡¯re Worth Less Than a Cat.¡±
Not only did the cat take his breakfast, but he was now cuddling up to Best Actor Fu!
Fu Sichen was perplexed by the expression on Wang Youquan¡¯s face. He slipped into the backseat of the sedan before asking, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Wang Youquan swallowed the bun sorrowfully. ¡°Nothing.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital¡¡±
As Fu Sichen settled in the backseat, Pei Zhen squirmed out of his embrace, and jumped onto his head.
Fu Sichen was speechless.
Where did this cat get his guts from? And what was up with that feisty temper of his!
Fu Sichen grabbed the cat and removed it from his head. But before he could speak, the cat broke free, leaping onto his shoulder, and had gotten back on his head in no time t.
This little monster¡
Fu Sichen scowled and said icily, ¡°Get down, or I¡¯ll throw you out of this car.¡±
Being hurled out at this speed on the highway, even having nine lives wouldn¡¯t save him.
Fu Sichen¡¯s words had an impact. The Persian cat came down from Fu Sichen¡¯s head, but still stubbornly remained on his shoulder.
¡°Sigh¡ this little monster.¡± Wang Youquan was observing the interaction between the pair with amusement. ¡°So he really does understand what we¡¯re saying.¡±
Fu Sichen thought otherwise, ¡°He was trained.¡±
After saying that, he couldn¡¯t resist adding, ¡°This is nothing. He even pees standing up.¡±
Wang Youquan eximed in disbelief. ¡°What?!¡±
Pei Zhen almost fell off of Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder.
It was great that Fu Sichen thought that he was normal, but did he really have to announce his private habits to the whole world?! What a scumbag!
An air of awkward silence followed.
The cat and chauffeur finally arrived at the hospital. After hearing about his strange peeing habits, Wang Youquan began to look at Pei Zhen strangely.
Even before the car came to a halt, Wang Youquan had already whipped out his mobile phone to search the inte.
¡°Do cats pee standing up?¡±
The search yielded quick results. A string of rted links popped up on the screen.
¡°How to Help Your Cat Differentiate Between The Litter Box and The Bed.¡±
¡°Warning Signs of Abnormal Urinating Behavior in Kittens.¡±
¡°Fast Facts About Bad Urinating Habits in Kittens.¡±
The top few search results had been somewhat relevant, but the rest were simply useless. In any case, there weren¡¯t any topics about cats that stood up to pee.
Wang Youquan gazed at Fu Sichen¡¯s silhouette growing smaller and smaller in the distance. He began to question if it was just that he had no knowledge about anything cat rted, or that Fu Sichen was neglecting to notice something.

Fu Sichen was stillpletely unaware of Pei Zhen¡¯s situation. This allowed Pei Zhen some room to breathe.
But, his immediate priority was taking a good look at his body that was now lying in a hospital ward. So, he wasn¡¯t in any mood to focus on the whole ¡°standing up to pee¡± debacle.
Xiao Nian was still at the hospital.
He felt extremely guilty seeing Pei Zhen¡¯s unmoving body lying on the hospital bed.
From far away, Pei Zhen could hear crying and wailinging from his room. It sounded rather depressing.
At the very least, he had a conscience. Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but feelforted that he was being missed. He decided that once he recovered, he¡¯d give Xiao Nian a raise. To tell the truth, it really hadn¡¯t been easy on him being his manager all these years.
They turned the corner before seeing that the door to his ward was wide open. Thetest popr soap opera was ying on the television that was mounted on the wall. With his back facing the entrance, the Great Manager Xiao was crying his eyes out along with the leading actress on the show.
¡°Why?! Is it because I¡¯m not pretty enough, or is it because I don¡¯t love you enough?! Why did you cheat on me?!¡±
Xiao Nian wailed even louder now. ¡°Bastard! To think that my little Ruru was so loyal to you!¡±
Pei Zhen was aghast.
Jumping down from Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder, the furious Pei Zhen dashed straight at Xiao Nian, and swiftly gave him a taste of his ws.
This was really too much! This called for a pay cut!
¡°The doctor said he¡¯d be fine.¡± Now, the wounded Xiao Nian covered his face in remorse, ¡°It¡¯s just aa.¡±
Fu Sichen sat on the chair with Pei Zhen on his shoulder. Both human and cat had the same cold stare trained on Xiao Nian.
¡°It¡¯s my fault. I know it¡¯s my fault.¡± Unable to handle the weight of his gaze, Xiao Nian broke down. ¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen is in aa, and here am I watching TV. I¡ I¡¯m a great sinner! A person like me doesn¡¯t deserve to live or breathe!¡±
Fu Sichen nced up at the television. The female lead looked familiar. It was Lin Yousu. Fu Sichen snorted. He couldn¡¯t understand how anyone could enjoy shows like this.
Xiao Nian covered his face with his hands. He was embarrassed. ¡°In person, Lin Yousu looks very pretty up close.¡±
Fu Sichen was at a loss for words.
So was Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen could no longer be bothered with this crazy Manager Xiao Nian. He removed the cat from his shoulder and walked over to take a look at Pei Zhen, who was lying on the bed.
Pei Zhen looked extremely dashing.
He had a pair of mesmerizing eyes. His long eyshes cast a bluish tinge on his porcin white skin. His thin lips were closed and formed a perfect curve. It looked as if they were asking to be kissed.
Fu Sichen reached out to lightly feel Pei Zhen¡¯s forehead. The temperature was normal, and his bodily functions seemed to be normal too. One could easily believe that he was just ying a joke on them
¡°Leave him to me now.¡± Fu Sichen propped Pei Zhen up with a pillow and opened up the thermos. The aroma of the bone broth drifted out. ¡°Mr. Xiao, I assume that you haven¡¯t eaten yet.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Nian was not in the mood to eat, despiteing across rather heartless just now. However, he still had work that needed to be done. ¡°I need to report back to the office. Best Actor Fu, I¡¯ll leave Pei Zhen to you.¡±
Pei Zhen the cat nced at Fu Sichen, and then looked at Xiao Nian. Then, he ran out after Xiao Nian.
There were reporters everywhere, flocking towards the hospital and obstructing the main entrance. They were waiting eagerly for any kind of information. Xiao Nian had no choice but to leave from the exit at the back of the building.
The assistant was waiting for him with the engine running. But, before Xiao Nian could get into the car, he heard a meowe from behind him.
¡°Meow.¡±

It had bothered him to live in the same space as Fu Sichen. But finally, he had managed to get out. Just to be safe, Pei Zhen still preferred to maintain a line ofmunication with his manager.
That¡¯s right.
He had never been religious before. But now, after turning into a cat, it was hard not to believe in some kind of higher power. Whether it be burning some incense or drinking holy water, he didn¡¯t care! Anything was okay with him as long as it could turn him back into a human!
Given that his parents were overseas, he would feel better if he entrusted certain things, like hiring a priest or a shaman, to his manager.
Pei Zhen called out once, but Xiao Nian didn¡¯t notice. He trotted ahead and called out for a second time. ¡°Meow.¡±
¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Xiao Nian turned around, saw the Persian cat, and frowned slightly. ¡°That little jinx?¡±
Pei Zhen looked up sullenly.
Okay, okay. So this was the cat that had gotten Pei Zhen into the ident in the first ce. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t have the energy to get worked up. He saw that Xiao Nian had opened the car door. He immediately jumped into the backseat.
¡°Hey! A cat!¡± The female assistant drove up. She clearly liked furry things. She squealed in delight when she saw the white ball of fur, ¡°So cute!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like being cute is worth anything.¡± Xiao Nian thought of Pei Zhen, and inevitably felt negative towards the cat. Seeing the cat in his car made him tremble with anger. ¡°It was because of this cat that Pei Zhen is in aa now. Get it out of the car.¡±
Even though Xiao Nian wouldn¡¯t hit him or anything, he still preferred to keep a distance with the cat. He bent over, stuck his hand into the car, and yanked the cat out. ¡°Get out.¡±
¡°It¡¯s me, your Daddy Pei Zhen!¡±
Pei Zhen came looking for Xiao Nian because he needed help. He wasn¡¯t going to leave just like that. The moment Xiao Nian¡¯s hand came towards him again, he brandished his ws, and waved them at Xiao Nian angrily.
The backseat was narrow and was poorly suited for fighting. Xiao Nian was getting angry as well because he couldn¡¯t capture the animal. Pulling up his sleeves, he threatened, ¡°Arghhh, I¡¯ll be damned if I can¡¯t catch you!¡±
Xiao Nian climbed into the car on his hands and feet. Pei Zhen was cornered. Just as Xiao Nian was about toy his hands on the cat, the assistant in the driver¡¯s seat shouted in a panic, ¡°Reporters!¡±
Without giving Xiao Nian a chance to react, the assistant stepped on the elerator, and headed out at top speed.
The sudden eleration caused Xiao Nian¡¯s head to hit against the back of the front seat. He yelled out in pain. This gave the helpless Pei Zhen a chance to vent. Feeling a little evil, Pei Zhen added a few scratches for good measure.
Unfilial son, is this how you treat your Daddy!
It took a while for themotion in the car toe to an end. Xiao Nian was still howling pathetically. He nced at the assistant in the front seat. Obviously frightened, she gave a nervousugh but focused on the road straight ahead.
Pei Zhen was feeling quite smug, and leaned against the car door¡ª just like a boss, he stared at Xiao Nian and smirked at him.
The Great Manager Xiao was so angry that he felt likemitting animal abuse. Staring straight into the Persian cat¡¯s eyes, he raised his hands. Then, as if possessed, he suddenly felt like he couldn¡¯t follow through.
How strange.
Xiao Nian was puzzled. He looked away uneasily, but found his gaze wandering back to the Persian cat time and time again.
Yes. It must be because this was the cat that Pei Zhen saved. That was why it bothered him so much.
Xiao Nian spent the rest of the journey in the car, trying tofort himself. Finally, they arrived at the agency.
Xiao Nian got off the car. As expected, the cat followed them. With an agile jump, Pei Zhennded directly on Xiao Nian¡¯s head.
¡°You can go now.¡± Xiao Nian instructed the assistant, giving her the rest of the day off. He felt rather helpless about the weight on his head, but didn¡¯t try to remove the cat. ¡°It¡¯s been quite a morning for you. You cane back tomorrow.¡±
The assistant was grateful and thanked Xiao Nian. He smiled, turned around, and walked towards the office with the cat.
Just as Xiao Nian was about to enter the office, the cat started its evil antics once again.

Anyone would be curious seeing a cat on somebody¡¯s head.
The security guard at the building entrance recognized Xiao Nian, so he was about to greet him when the Persian cat on Xiao Nian¡¯s head started to tug at his hair.
What a joke.
There were people in the office.
Thest thing Pei Zhen wanted was to be seen in the form of a cat!
With one w clutching onto a tuft of Xiao Nian¡¯s hair, he meowed with much difficulty, ¡°Take the side corridor!¡±
¡°Arghhh!¡± Xiao Nian writhed in pain. This was unbearable. Even if it were Best Actor Fu¡¯s pet, there was no need to be such an arrogant brat!
He reached out to grab Pei Zhen. The cat let out an angry meow and decided to take things into his own paws. He jumped off of Xiao Nian¡¯s head. In a sh, he bounded off in the direction of the side corridor.
Afraid of losing Xiao Nian, Pei Zhen would asionally stop and turn around, calling out to Xiao Nian. As Xiao Nian approached him, the cat would turn back to make sure he was following him before continuing to run.
It was a long corridor. Around the corner, it became so narrow that only one person could pass through.
Pei Zhen had already been waiting for a while by the time Xiao Nian had arrived. Standing on his hind legs, he crossed his paws and leaned haughtily against the wall, staring straight at Xiao Nian.
¡°Holy cow!¡± cried Xiao Nian.
He was taken aback by this strange scene and jumped. He stared unbelievingly back at the Persian cat standing erect and in that instant, swore under his breath.
He couldn¡¯t ept the fact that this cat was somehow possessed. He was a very rational person.
Pei Zhen knew that this was ridiculous, but he had no time to y it cool anymore. He picked up a pebble with his paw and started to scribble on the ground.
Even though it was in cursive, the words were still legible.
[It¡¯s me, Pei Zhen]
Xiao Nian was scared speechless.
[Find me a shaman]
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t know the correct way to respond to this kind of situation.
It took a long time, but it seemed that Xiao Nian finally epted that Pei Zhen had turned into a cat.
¡°How¡ how did this happen!¡± Xiao Nian seemed even more distressed than the victim. He was on the verge of shrieking, ¡°Pei Zhen! Poor Pei Zhen! Oh my god! Don¡¯t tell me, that from now on, I¡¯m going to have be the manager of a cat!¡±
As he said these words, an idea suddenly dawned on him. He lunged towards the Persian cat, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes. ¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen! Even if you couldn¡¯t be the Best Actor as a human, you can be the Best Actor as a cat! Believe me, without Fu Sichen as apetitor, you can definitely win the award!¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Pei Zhen was hopping mad, and he felt like giving Xiao Nian yet another scratch! What does he mean, Best Cat Actor!
Turning into a cat and not being able to speak was troublesome. Pei Zhen tapped on the phone angrily before typing out a warning to Xiao Nian. [I¡¯m telling you what happened to me because I trust you. All I want is to be human again!].
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Realizing that he had gotten a little carried away, Xiao Nian gave an embarrassedugh. Having caught Pei Zhen¡¯s deadly stare, he quickly changed the subject, ¡°What are we going to do now, Pei Zhen? Are we really going to find you a shaman?¡±
Xiao Nian had always believed in science, but now, it seemed like nothing was making sense. Not to mention, seeing Pei Zhen now, it seemed like his soul had somehow been transferred to the cat?
[Your current priority is to take me away from Fu Sichen!]. Having to act coy and cute or whatever to the enemy was truly humiliating! Pei Zhen continued to type¡ [And, don¡¯t forget to investigate why I turned into a cat as soon as possible!].
¡°Okay, okay, okay. Don¡¯t get so worked up, Pei Zhen.¡± Xiao Nian, of course, was on Pei Zhen¡¯s side. He hurriedlyforted the agitated Persian cat. ¡°I¡¯ll give Best Actor Fu a call right away.¡±
[Also, why is he the one taking care of my body? He obviously has bad intentions!]

Pei Zhen had not forgotten the screensaver on Fu Sichen¡¯sputer.
Besides his extremely high ¡°face value¡±, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t think of any other reason why Fu Sichen seemed to admire him so much.
Being sought after was a great thing for any celebrity.
It was just that, when it came to Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen still felt awkward about it all.
¡°He¡ he¡¯s just concerned about you.¡± Xiao Nian paused and continued, ¡°Weren¡¯t you and Fu Sichen childhood friends? So even if you guys had beenpeting for so long, I¡¯m sure that he still remembers your friendship.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t reply.
After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything about the screensaver. In any case, his charm wasn¡¯t something that Xiao Nian would understand. After all, Xiao Nian was just amoner.
Beyond the problem of his amodation, now that he was in a rotund cat body, Pei Zhen had another concern. [Do you know what thepany is going to do, given my situation?]
There were work assignments and jobs that he had taken up as a spokesperson prior to turning into a cat; all these were now on hold.
¡°I fought for days, trying to cate the investors, but¡¡± Xiao Nian said regretfully.
If Pei Zhen didn¡¯t wake up from hisa, they would definitely lose these investors.
Pei Zhen was an arrogant person who always wanted things to go his own way. This was exactly what his fans loved about him. He was popr, he was famous, and thepany naturally gave him a lot of leeway.
Under normal circumstances, other celebrities were all jealous of Pei Zhen.
But now that Pei Zhen was in aa, they would undoubtedly try and steal a piece of the pie.
¡°Pei Zhen, don¡¯t worry.¡± Not wanting Pei Zhen to be sad or lose hope, Xiao Nian quickly reassured him, ¡°I¡¯m here to make sure that your career as a celebrity is secure.¡±
Pei Zhen opened his mouth to exin something, but s, all that came out was still a meow. This was so frustrating. He was about to type on the mobile phone when amotion was heard outside.
¡°Best Actor Fu?! Oh my god! It¡¯s really him!¡±
¡°Ohhhhhhhh, Fu Sichen is so handsome!¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, can I please have your autograph? Can we also take a picture together?¡±
Fu Sichen? Why was he here?
Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian exchanged looks. Someone knocked on the door, ¡°Xiao Nian.¡±
That deep, indifferent voice that was unmistakably Fu Sichen¡¯s.
Xiao Nian wiped his brow, feeling slightly panicked. He had no choice but to open the door. Putting on a polite smile, he said, ¡°Mr. Fu, what brings you here?¡±
Fu Sichen stood at an impressive 190 centimeters.
Looking past Xiao Nian, he spotted the Persian cat on the desk at once. He immediately brushed Xiao Nian aside and squeezed past the office entrance.
Even though Fu Sichen was from a different agency, he was a very popr celebrity. When the girls in the office saw hime in, they were thrilled and smitten, trailing closely behind him.
¡°I¡ I have something to discuss with Mr. Fu.¡± Xiao Nian feared that all of thismotion would affect Pei Zhen negatively, so he quickly shut the door saying, ¡°My dear sisters, please excuse us.¡±
As he turned around, and even before he had the opportunity to greet Fu Sichen properly, he saw that Fu Sichen was already reaching for Pei Zhen.
How would Pei Zhen be willing to go back with Fu Sichen?
The moment that Fu Sichen approached Pei Zhen the cat, his fur stood on ends, and he stared the man back in defiance. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me! If you touch me, I¡¯ll eat you up!¡±
Pei Zhen opened his mouth as wide as possible, trying to look ferocious. He was hoping to intimidate Fu Sichen. But Fu Sichen, on the other hand, thought it was rather cute and didn¡¯t even realize that it was meant to be scary.
Pei Zhen readied himself to run away, but Fu Sichen had already predicted the move, positioning himself at the corner of the desk. Like a mother hen weing in her chicks, he stretched his arms out before closing them around Pei Zhen.
¡°Are you trying to escape? Are you looking for a beating?¡±
Pei Zhen imploded with anger.
By now, Fu Sichen was already an experienced cat handler. After he took control of Pei Zhen¡¯s limbs, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t even put up a struggle!
Anxious at the situation, Pei Zhen could only signal to Xiao Nian¨C hurry up and fight for my custody!

The second that Fu Sichen put his attention somewhere else, the Persian cat somehow disappeared without a trace.
This made Fu Sichen extremely anxious.
He finally managed to find out that the cat had left with Xiao Nian after requesting urgent help from the hospital and checking their surveince tapes.
After telling the nurses to look after Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen rushed to Xiao Nian¡¯s agency.
It was a really strange feeling.
Fu Sichen realized that the cat had be very important to him, but he really couldn¡¯t exin why.
He only managed to calm down after seeing the cat in person again.
Fu Sichen was determined to leave right after he picked up his cat. Xiao Nian, under Pei Zhen¡¯s orders, could only put on his most sincere expression before walking towards Fu Sichen.
¡°Best Actor Fu, do you know why the cat ended up here? When I left, Pei Zhen¡ Um¡ I mean¡ The cat followed me. I think¡ he likes me.¡±
Fu Sichen felt like Xiao Nian was trying to imply something. He unconsciously tightened his hold on the Persian cat before continuing to stare at Xiao Nian coldly.
¡°Oh, Best Actor Fu, the wound on your chin has healed. It¡¯s not easy owning a cat, huh. Actually, did you know that I¡¯m also a big fan of cats?¡±
Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow; he was starting to see where Xiao Nian was trying to go with this. ¡°You also want to adopt a cat?¡±
Xiao Nian expressed eagerly, ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯d definitely work hard to be a good cat ve!¡±
¡°Oh, then you can easily find a cat of your liking at any old pet shop.¡± Fu Sichen walked towards the door with cat in tow, not even sparing him a single nce. ¡°But, I¡¯m pretty sure that my cat¡¯s the best.¡±
Xiao Nian was left speechless; he was still trying to process everything while feeling shocked.
Hey!
No!
He needed to fight for Pei Zhen¡¯s custody!
The cat was wriggling more and more violently in Fu Sichen¡¯s arms; his meowing was getting louder and louder. Feeling just as stressed as the cat, Xiao Nian forced himself to take a step forward. ¡°No, I think you¡¯ve misunderstood. Best Actor Fu. Actually¡ I want to adopt your cat.¡±
He, Pei Zhen, somehow had now be Pei Pei, the cat!
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression changed after hearing these words. He red at Xiao Nian with his deep, dark eyes. When he stared at you like that, his gaze felt as cold and as piercing as a sword.
¡°It¡¯s¡ It¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t like you in the first ce¡¡± Xiao Nian stammered. ¡°Best Actor Fu, there¡¯s no point in forcing things. We should all have bigger hearts. It¡¯s not good to be too domineering¡ Ah, ah, ah!¡±
Before Xiao Nian could finish speaking, Fu Sichen lowered his head. He looked like he was going to use a kiss to prove how close he was to the cat.
Xiao Nian fell into a panic because he was so shocked.
He let out a piercing scream.
Xiao Nian almost cked out. He thought that that everything hade to an end.
¡°No, don¡¯t kiss him! Okay! I don¡¯t want him anymore! I don¡¯t want him anymore! He¡¯s yours! Pei Zhen is yours!¡±
¡°Kiss?¡± Fu Sichen looked up with a puzzled expression before shifting his gaze to the cat. ¡°What kiss? I just noticed that his fur was a little dirty.¡±
Xiao Nian had been stunned speechless yet again.
In order to get Xiao Nian¡¯s attention, the cat had run circles around him. His white fur had inevitably gotten dirty.
After hearing Fu Sichen point that out, Pei Zhen looked down out of reflex. But then, he saw his testicles; he turned red out of embarrassment.
Arghhhhhh, this was just too humiliating!
He needed a shirt and pants!
¡°Let me go! You pervert!¡± He fiercely struggled out of distress. All he wanted was to teach Fu Sichen a lesson. In the end, however, all he managed to do was meow weakly.
Motherf*cker!
¡°I¡¯ll take you to get neutered if you try to run away again.¡± Before this, Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t noticed the cat¡¯s testicles. The vigorously struggling feline had also gotten him a little angry. But for some reason, after hearing him say this, the cat stopped wiggling and became quiet.
Not only did the cat be docile, but even Xiao Nian seemed to calm down immediately.
¡°No, no! Don¡¯t neuter him!¡± Xiao Nian almost wet his own pants out of fear. He was at the end of his rope, ¡°This cat is perfect just the way he is! How can you think about neutering him?!¡±
Really? Was he really going to neuter him?
Wouldn¡¯t that make him a eunuch?!

Chapter 19: Stay Away From My Cat From Now On
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Ever since Pei Zhen had gotten into aa, Xiao Nian always looked like he was on the brink of tears.
Knowing that Pei Zhen had turned into a cat was just another straw on the camel¡¯s back.
Who would have thought? Fu Sichen, a person that used to reject work for a cat food campaign, ended up being a crazy cat lover.
Xiao Nian realized that trying to take Pei Zhen away from Fu Sichen was futile. All he could do was pray that Pei Zhen would be safe with Fu Sichen, and wouldn¡¯t suffer too much¡ This definitely meant that he couldn¡¯t let Fu Sichen neuter Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen raised his eyebrows and gave Xiao Nian an inquiring look. He was intrigued by Xiao Nian¡¯s reaction. ¡°I¡¯ve already looked it up. Cats can be neutered once they¡¯re around five months old.¡±
When Fu Sichen brought up getting neutered, Pei Zhen immediately started to yowl. He stared straight at Xiao Nian, pleading like his life was at stake. He desperately tried to remind Xiao Nian to quickly rescue his manhood.
Xiao Nian felt himself dripping with cold sweat. He quickly replied resourcefully, ¡°Humans have rights. Cats have rights too! We need to respect Pei Zhen¡¯s opinion!¡±
Fu Sichen went quiet for a moment. For now, he chose to ignore the fact that he called the cat Pei Zhen. ¡°Cats can express their opinions?¡±
They can! They can!
Pei Zhen started to meow frantically. He wriggled in violent protest to express his unwillingness to get neutered.
¡°Look!¡± Xiao Nian shouted, ¡°He¡¯s against it!¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t really know what to say.
The question of whether or not to neuter him was no longer Fu Sichen¡¯s main concern. He responded coldly by saying, ¡°Oh.¡± Then, he changed the topic and said, ¡°Excuse me, I¡¯m going back to the hospital.¡±
Pei Zhen was still lying in the hospital.
Fu Sichen suddenly realized something important¡ª since the ident, Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t bathed even once. That guy used to be obsessivepulsive when it came to hygiene. He definitely would want to take a bath.
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was so stony cold that Xiao Nian felt intimidated and unconsciously took a step back. Carrying the cat with him, Fu Sichen stopped at the doorway. ¡°Stay away from my cat from now on.¡±
Pei Zhen the cat looked on helplessly.
Xiao Nian looked on equally helplessly.
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t have much fighting spirit left. Not only did he not manage to gain custody of the cat, but he had now been cklisted by Best Actor Fu.
Fu Sichen walked out of the office, carrying a dejected Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen¡¯s visit had caused quite a stir throughout the agency. A crowd had gathered outside Xiao Nian¡¯s office to wait for Fu Sichen to appear. The female fans shrieked as soon as they saw him.
¡°Ahhhhhh! It¡¯s Best Actor Fu! It¡¯s really him! He¡¯s so hot!¡±
After squealing about his good looks, they started to scream about the cat in his arms. They were eximing about how cute the cat was, and started asking if they could touch him. ¡°Is that Best Actor Fu¡¯s cat?!¡±
¡°Gorgeous owner, gorgeous cat!¡±
¡°They look so good together! Death by cuteness!¡±
Pei Zhen really didn¡¯t understand what young girls were thinking. Pei Zhen felt humiliated being observed by so many people. He wished that he could just crawl into a dark hole somewhere.
Fortunately, Xiao Nian had recovered enough toe out of the office. He was able to do some crowd control so that Fu Sichen and the cat could safely leave the agency.
Fu Sichen¡¯s mind was on the Pei Zhen that was still lying in the hospital. He got into the car with cat in tow, and drove away. He didn¡¯t even notice that there were paparazzi lurking around the office building.
¡°Was that really Best Actor Fu?¡±
¡°Hehe, yes. I told you that that was his car. I would never make a mistake about something like this.¡±
¡°So, why do you think he came to apeting agency? To try and promote friendship?¡±
¡°Who knows? But no matter what the reason is, this news is juicy.¡±
Right after Pei Zhen besatose, his biggest rival Best Actor Fu starts targeting Pei Zhen¡¯s agency. This was the kind of story that the public liked to read about.

Chapter 20: I Need to Bathe Him Again

Fu Sichen only let go of the cat after arriving in the hospital.
He didn¡¯t forget to shut the door just in case the cat decided to run away again.
The room was top of the line; there was even a bathtub in the bathroom.
Pei Zhen had racked his brain throughout the entire trip, but he still couldn¡¯t think of a good escape n. Then, to his horror, he saw Fu Sichen lifting up his human body.
What on earth¡!
Pei Zhen¡¯s cat eyes widened, staring in horror at Fu Sichen carrying his limp body into the bathroom.
Fu Sichen started running a warm bath. Then, he easily removed the hospital pajamas from Pei Zhen¡¯s human body in one fluid motion.
¡°Hey!¡± Pei Zhen the cat went nuts. He dashed into the bathroom. ¡°Let go of my body! You horrible pervert!¡±
Fu Sichen had already finished removing Pei Zhen¡¯s shirt. Right when he was about to take off Pei Zhen¡¯s pants, the white Persian cat sprang forward like a bolt of lightning. He was so fast that he ended up crashing into Fu Sichen¡¯s thighs. The force was so great that it almost knocked the cat over.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Fu Sichen looked at the cat with narrowed eyes before raising his eyebrows with a look of sudden realization.
He immediately took off Pei Zhen¡¯s pants before gently cing his body into the warm bath. Then, he turned, picked up the cat, and threw him out of the bathroom.
¡°It¡¯s not your turn yet. You have to wait your turn.¡±
He mmed the bathroom door shut while he said this,pletely cutting off the cat¡¯s line of sight.
¡°Damn it!!¡± Pei Zhen the cat swore.
That¡¯s me in the bathroom! Me!
Pei Zhen could hear the sound of running watering from inside the bathroom. The thought of being bathed by his sworn enemy was enough to push Pei Zhen into insanity.
What the freaking hell is going on?!
They were obviously enemies. Why would Fu Sichen do this for him?
After analyzing the situation, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but remember Fu Sichen¡¯sputer password and wallpaper. Thinking of his exquisitely good looks, he felt a growing sense of horror.
If Fu Sichen was that smitten with his appearance¡ Then what kind of perverted things was Fu Sichen doing with his body in the bathroom?!
The more Pei Zhen thought about it, the more he panicked. He raised his paws and pounded on the bathroom door while meowing nonstop. He hoped that the noise would make Fu Sichen open the door.
Pei Zhen felt a growing sense of dread.
He took two steps backward, drew in a deep breath, sucked in his stomach, and barged towards the bathroom door with a great leap. He stretched his paws out to press down on the door knob.
Then¡ all he could feel was empty space.
The bathroom door had suddenly been swung open.
Fu Sichen stood at the doorway carrying Pei Zhen¡¯s human body in his arms; his face was expressionless.
Pei Zhen the cat crashed into Fu Sichen¡¯s chest mid-leap, before falling down to rest on Pei Zhen the human.
He was stunned silly.
Fu Sichen looked down at the cat.
Fu Sichen was carrying Pei Zhen¡¯s body in both of his arms; he didn¡¯t have a lot of time to pay attention to what the cat was doing. But, after he noticed that the cat hadnded onto Pei Zhen¡¯s body, he knitted his sword-like brows and muttered under his breath.
¡°I need to bathe him again.¡±
When it came to things like this, Fu Sichen seemed to be quite patient. He turned around and headed back towards the bathtub with both cat and man in his arms.
Pei Zhen was like a deer caught in headlights.
When Fu Sichen removed Pei Zhen the cat from Pei Zhen the human¡¯s body, Pei Zhen the cat could only obediently stand to one side. He was at a total loss. How did he end up getting taken advantage of again? This was what he had been trying to prevent from happening in the first ce!
For men, taking a bath wasn¡¯t very troublesome; all it took was a quick rinse. By now, the cat had lost all desire to protest. With mixed emotions, he watched as Fu Sichen bathed his human body before easily lifting the body to rest in his arms. Fu Sichen had even helped him put on his underwear.
The cat covered his face. Everything was over now. Even if he had the chance to be a human again, and start his life over, he would never be able to face Fu Sichen again.
His ego had beenpletely shattered!

After giving Pei Zhen a bath, Fu Sichen thought that he might as well give the Persian cat a bath too.
Of course, the cat didn¡¯t give up without an extremely fierce struggle.
After ring at the steadily approaching Fu Sichen, the cat jumped into the bathtub with a meow. Pei Zhen ended up gulping down a few mouthfuls of water in the process.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Pei Zhen meowed frantically. His thrashing paws ended up sshing water everywhere. He had never liked water, even as a human. This was even more true after turning into a cat. Unfortunately, this bathtub was rather deep for a cat; Pei Zhen¡¯s legs couldn¡¯t reach the bottom. This terrified him.
¡°How enthusiastic.¡± Fu Sichen looked at the cat struggling in the water. He reached out to lift the animal out of the tub. ¡°You really like taking baths, huh?¡±
Fu Sichen also knew other celebrities who were cat owners. He seemed to have the impression, from talking to them, that cats didn¡¯t like water. Hence, they would usually run away when it was time for a bath.
His own cat was quite the maverick; he loved baths so much that he even wanted to have one before Pei Zhen did!
The cat was dumbstruck at this insinuation.
¡°Meow,¡± he said.
As Fu Sichen lifted the cat out of the water, he observed that the cat waspletely soaked from head to toe. His fur was stered onto his body, his eyes were teary, and he had a pitiful expression on his face. He looked as though he had been wronged somehow, an expression that looked both weak and helpless.
Fu Sichen found it to be kind of funny.
He wasn¡¯t a patient person by any stretch of the imagination. But, for some reason, he was exceptionally tolerant towards this cat.
Not caring that the cat was wet, Fu Sichen picked up the cat. He used his other hand to drain away the old bathwater before refilling the bathtub.
This time around, Pei Zhen the cat was much more cooperative.
Even though he still felt humiliated, he grit his teeth and allowed Fu Sichen to give him a bath. It was only when Fu Sichen reached for his lower stomach that he started to be agitated again.
¡°You still don¡¯t like being touched?¡± The cat¡¯s stomach was dirty; Fu Sichen needed to touch Pei Zhen to get him clean. Fu Sichen made a noise of disapproval. He couldn¡¯t care less what the cat thought. He pinned the cat down, and reached straight for the cat¡¯s stomach.
Pei Zhen hissed. All he wanted to do now was scratch Fu Sichen to shreds. Fu Sichen had already gotten used to his temper. When Pei Zhen started swatting at him, all he met was thin air.
¡°Are you saving yourself for a female cat?¡± Fu Sichen teased him, looking at the cat¡¯s testicles. He raised his eyebrows before continuing, ¡°It looks like we¡¯ll have to get you fixed.¡±
The minute he brought this up, Pei Zhen froze. Pei Zhen turned his head away from him to suppress the great shame and anger that he felt inside.
For the sake of his future happiness, he had be tolerant!
A real man had to be tough. Just wait until he turned back into a human! There¡¯d be plenty of opportunities for him to teach Fu Sichen a lesson!
Fu Sichen finally finished giving Pei Zhen a bath, much to his chagrin. The moment Fu Sichen rxed his grip, the cat sprinted for the exit.
He had never missed being in his own body more than right now!
He jumped onto the chair and was about to leap onto the bed, when he felt a strong grip on his neck!
¡°You¡¯re still dripping wet.¡± Indicating that they weren¡¯t done yet, Fu Sichen forcefully stuffed the cat into his arms before walking over to the other side of the room. ¡°We need to dry you first.¡±
The cat was sullen and silent.
The white Persian cat had already been manhandled by his owner during bathtime. And now, he had to endure a second round of cruel assault using a hairdryer.
The more Fu Sichenid his hands on the Persian cat, the more the hopeless the cat felt.
By the time the great manager Xiao Nian rushed to the hospital, Pei Zhen already felt like he was part of the walking dead. He felt damaged in both body and spirit.
¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen!¡± Xiao Nian cried, heartbroken. There were tears in his eyes. ¡°What happened? What¡¯s wrong with you? Don¡¯t scare me!¡±
¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t pleased to see Xiao Nian again. All he wanted was for this man to disappear. ¡°Why are you here again?¡±
¡°I¡ I¡¯m just worried about Pei Zhen.¡± Xiao Nian stammered.

Chapter 22: He Wants to Have Me Neutered!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
When Xiao Nian said he was worried about Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen assumed that he was talking about Pei Zhen the human.
Not to mention, Xiao Nian continuously calling the cat, Pei Zhen, made Fu Sichen think that this manager was obsessed with his artiste.
He was so obsessed, that he was just as enamored with the cat, as he was with the artiste.
But, no matter how much Xiao Nian cared about Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t going to give the cat up.
Xiao Nian saw the suspicion in Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes. He took a deep breath and quickly tried to act in a more pleasant manner. ¡°I¡¯ve reflected on what I said earlier. I was wrong. This cat is yours, Best Actor Fu.¡± Xiao Nian reassured him.
Fu Sichen smiled coldly.
¡°It¡¯s true. I really mean it.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s expression sent a shiver down Xiao Nian¡¯s spine; he could hardly get the words out of his mouth. ¡°I was really distressed after Pei Zhen¡¯s ident. This was the cat that he risked his life to save¡ So that¡¯s why, that¡¯s why I¡ But I¡¯m not asking to adopt him or anything! You¡¯re the only person that¡¯s worthy of owning this cat!¡±
Fu Sichen was pleased with his words, especially after thatst sentence. Despite remaining aloof and cold, at the very least, he didn¡¯t ask Xiao Nian to leave.
Bathing both Pei Zhens had gotten Fu Sichen¡¯s clothes wet; it was bing quite ufortable.
Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t thought about bringing a change of clothes when he left the house that morning. Now that Xiao Nian was there, he could have Xiao Nian watch over Pei Zhen while he was gone.
But as soon as Fu Sichen took a step forward, Xiao Nian immediately followed him. He trailed behind him and tried very hard to please him.
Fu Sichen was at a loss.
¡°¡ I need to go home to change.¡±
Looking away from the Persian cat, Xiao Nian forced a politeugh, ¡°Yes, yes! And I¡¯ll drive you.¡±
Without even waiting for Fu Sichen to agree, Xiao Nian rushed off to get the car. He even got down from the driver¡¯s seat to hold the door open for Fu Sichen, making sure that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t have to lift a single finger.
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t understand what was going on.
But, it was hard for Fu Sichen to reject Xiao Nian¡¯s enthusiastic disy of goodwill. He could only resign himself to getting into the car with cat in tow. Amidst all of this, neither Fu Sichen nor Xiao Nian had noticed that there were reporters lurking around the hospital building.
Xiao Nian vaguely remembered where Fu Sichen lived; Pei Zhen had mentioned it once.
Still, when they arrived, Xiao Nian was still awestruck by how luxurious everything was.
Most normal people would choose to rent if they had to live out of hotels most of the time. But, Fu Sichen was different; he was a cut above the rest, so he purchased a penthouse for himself.
In addition, to protect his privacy, the hotel management had even arranged a private elevator just for him. Of course, the security was top-notch as well.
It was a smooth ride up to the penthouse. The moment Fu Sichen opened the door, however, all of the wonder and admiration that Xiao Nian had felting up the elevator immediately disappeared as he took a good look at the cold and sparse decor.
¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu. Your¡ your home is¡ very¡ very simple.¡± He felt like it was really a waste. It took Xiao Nian considerable effort to evene up with the word ¡°simple.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fu Sichen answered rather emotionlessly. The Persian cat jumped off Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder the moment they got home. Fu Sichen left Xiao Nian on his own before turning around to change in his room.
Xiao Nian waited for Best Actor Fu to go in his room before turning to look at the cat.
¡°Pei Zhen, are you okay?¡± Xiao Nian asked, recalling the moment that he arrived at the hospital and saw Pei Zhen. He felt extremely anxious. ¡°What did Fu Sichen do to you?¡±
Every time Pei Zhen thought of the bath incident, he felt thoroughly humiliated. The cat pounded away on Xiao Nian¡¯s mobile phone. [He wants to have me neutered!]
[I can¡¯t take it anymore!]
[Hurry up and find a shaman for me!]
¡°Okay, okay, okay.¡± Xiao Nian quickly reassured Pei Zhen, ¡°I¡¯ll get in touch with my contacts immediately. We¡¯ll try and find a reliable shaman. Pei Zhen, you¡¯re just going to have to endure your current situation until we can find a good solution.¡±
Both man and cat felt like they were in dire straits. They had really gotten themselves into an extremely sad situation. After Fu Sichen had changed into clean clothes, he saw that both Xiao Nian and the Persian cat were crying.
Fu Sichen was at a loss again.
Now what?

Chapter 23: He Really Likes Me

Fu Sichen had changed into a simple ck tank-top.
It hugged his body while subtly outlining the shape of his toned abs. It was clear that under his clothing, he had an impressive figure.
Pei Zhen looked up at Fu Sichen with teary eyes, immediately feeling jealous.
As a ratherzy person, Pei Zhen had hated exercise more than anything else¡ª even going for a ten minute run would make him feel so tired that he would feel like dying. He could only dream of having sculpted muscles.
Seeing Fu Sichen¡¯s Greek god body only made him feel even more resentment towards Fu Sichen. He angrily dashed in Fu Sichen¡¯s direction.
Even though the white Persian cat¡¯s intention was to attack, his master saw his actions as a sign of affection. Fu Sichen knelt on the floor with his hands outstretched. Even after getting scratched by the cat, he still calmly picked the cat up before looking at Xiao Nian with a look of pride.
¡°He really likes me.¡±
Xiao Nian broke out in cold sweat.
However, he didn¡¯t want to destroy Fu Sichen¡¯s beautiful delusion just yet. He was scared that annoying him would lead to Pei Zhen getting neutered. He could only go along with the conversation, and said, ¡°Yes, yes, you¡¯ve really lived up to your name, Best Actor Fu.¡±
Against his own conscience, Xiao Nian marveled at Fu Sichen¡¯s home some more. After ttering him to the best of his abilities, Xiao Nian left the house in a hurry.
His main priority now was to find a shaman.
The minute Xiao Nian stepped out of the building, his agency called him. Xiao Nian had a hunch that they were calling to discuss Pei Zhen¡¯s resources and contracts. He picked up the call indifferently.
He had already discussed this with Pei Zhen¡ª if other people wanted to vie for his resources, then that was fine with him. When Daddy Pei was back, everything would go back to normal!
¡°Xiao Nian, good job.¡± It was his boss; he sounded very pleased. ¡°Even without Pei Zhen, you still managed to get Fu Sichen.¡±
Excuse me???
Around the same time that Xiao Nian picked up the phone, Fu Sichen also got a call. It was from his manager.
Wang Youquan felt as though he was about to get a heart attack.
Not only did he work like a dog for Fu Sichen, he always did his best to have his back. But now, his artiste was going to betray him!
¡°Have I ever treated you badly? When have I ever not done what you asked?¡± Comrade Wang Youquan was basically weeping by now. He was remembering the meat dumplings and mineral water that he bought at the the mall below Fu Sichen¡¯s apartment. ¡°Just tell it to me straight. Have you found a new manager?¡±
Fu Sichen was caught by surprise.
¡°Wang Youquan, are you looking for another raise?¡±
Fu Sichen felt like he had always treated his manager pretty well. Wang Youquan had even been given a raisest month. But now, it seemed like he had gone quite mad.
Wang Youquan¡¯s usations made it sound like he had somehow found a new manager. Hearing Wang Youquan talk like this gave Fu Sichen the goosebumps.
¡°Mrs. Flower went around spreading the rumor.¡± When the news broke, Wang Youquan almost went nuts. ¡°She said that you were jumping ship, and joining Pei Zhen¡¯s agency. She also said that this year¡¯s Gold Award for Manager was definitely going to be hers.¡±
Mrs. Flower¡ª herst name was Hua¡ª was a manager at the samepany. Mrs. Flower was managing a few up-anding artistes. Even though she was ambitious, the artistes that she managed were always overshadowed by Fu Sichen. Fu Sichen was blocking their career path.
News that Fu Sichen had visited Pei Zhen¡¯s agency was spreading like wildfire. The paparazzi had very quickly sensationalized the whole story. In the meantime, everyone in the office was on edge. This was especially true for Wang Youquan because he worked for Fu Sichen directly.
After hearing all of the details, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. ¡°At the end of the day, I¡¯m still the Vice President of thepany. Are you guys all stupid or something?¡±
¡°But aren¡¯t you and Pei Zhen sworn enemies?¡± Wang Youquan said. What if Fu Sichen was crazy enough to try and take over all of Pei Zhen¡¯s resources while he was in the hospital?
¡°If I really wanted to take Pei Zhen¡¯s resources, then I don¡¯t need to go through all that trouble¡ª I could take them whenever I want.¡±

Chapter 24: This Is My Cat. Not Only Is He Very Well Behaved, but He¡¯s Also Very Close to Me.
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The inte was full of rumors about Fu Sichen moving to Pei Zhen¡¯s agency.
The news reports kept people eager for more. Some people said that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t get along with his agency anymore; other people spected that Pei Zhen¡¯s ident had been a conspiracy.
¡°It¡¯s all about resources!¡±
¡°Fu Sichen is out to kill Pei Zhen!¡±
¡°What¡¯s the real story behind Pei Zhen¡¯s ident?¡±
People quickly fell into a herd mentality. Diehard fans obviously defended their fellow fans. In the midst of all of this nonsense, there were even evil fans that championed messages like ¡°Our Best Actor Fu is much more outstanding than Pei Zhen.¡± They wanted to praise their idol by insulting their rival¡¯spetitor. This inevitably lead to retaliation by the other person¡¯s fanbase, which would end up starting another fight.
Pei Zhen had less followers than Fu Sichen. However, it didn¡¯t take away from the fact that they had strong fighting power! Looking through thements under Fu Sichen¡¯s Weibo, it was clear that the two sides were at war. It was utter chaos.
¡°I was only there to pick up my cat.¡± Fu Sichen coldly reassured Wang Youquan, who had been visibly affected. ¡°Just release a statement to rify what really took ce.¡±
Wang Youquan finally stopped worrying about it. However, he thought of something before whispering a soft reminder, ¡°Sichen, you haven¡¯t been ¡®live¡¯ in a month and eight days.¡±
The principal of the live broadcast station had been putting pressure on them recently, and Wang Youquan had to bear the brunt of it all.
¡°Why don¡¯t you use this opportunity to do a live broadcast?¡± Wang Youquan coaxed, ¡°Not only can you rify the whole situation, but you can also teach those reporters a lesson!¡±
Fu Sichen nced at the cat in his arms and thought for a moment. He finally agreed.
With the development of technology, live broadcasting and streaming had be the trend.
Fu Sichen had never really been interested in this.
The only reason he went online in the first ce was to watch Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen had been spotted by a talent scout after being a live broadcaster for games. Fu Sichen had beenzy when he was watching Pei Zhen¡¯s live broadcast; he had carelessly registered his Weibo username, so he was quickly discovered by his fans.
After looking up his Weibo, the broadcast station hade looking for Fu Sichen. Pei Zhen had ended up losing his sponsorship because of this incident.
The whole matter was gued by a series of unfortunate coincidences.
Thinking of it now, Fu Sichen still found it to be amusing.
¡°Sichen¡ What about the live broadcast?¡±
Fu Sichen forcefully hugged the protesting cat before walking to his room.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t need to do much before the live broadcast. He didn¡¯t need any special lighting, or even any special makeup. All he needed to do was sit there and be his usual good-looking self.
Eight at night was known as the golden time. It didn¡¯t take long for the site to be flooded withizens after Fu Sichen had gone live.
¡°You¡¯re finally back! My dear, you finally remembered the password for your ount!¡±
¡°Woo-hoo, my sweetheart! You¡¯re so gorgeous and dashing!¡±
¡°Great Actor Fu Sichen, kiss kiss hug hug, I want to have your kids!¡±
¡°Idol, idol, are you really moving to another agency?¡±
The screen was inundated with a barrage of questions as well as showers of gifts from his frantic fans. Fu Sichen greeted his audience before picking a few questions to answer.
¡°I¡¯m not changing agencies¡ª that was just a rumor. I just so happened to be looking for my cat at that time. That¡¯s right¡ I¡¯m now the proud owner of a cat.¡±
There was another barrage of requests that appeared, asking to see the cat. Fu Sichen stretched out his hands and raised the Persian cat up so everyone could see him. ¡°This is my cat. Not only is he very well behaved, but he¡¯s also very close to me.¡±
Pei Zhen was livid. He didn¡¯t want to be carried, by his enemy of all people, in front of scores and scores of fans.
Unable to find an opportunity to scratch Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen put on a cold expression¡ª he red hostilely at Fu Sichen. The audience was stunned.
However, this was only the inte. Any fear that theizens had felt soon disappeared before turning into excitement over this new entertainment.
Well behaved? Close to him? That Persian cat looked like he really wanted to hit someone right now.
¡°Hahaha¡ Has Best Actor Fu somehow misunderstood what the term ¡®well behaved¡¯ means?¡±
¡°The cat is angry at being carried like a chick with a mother hen looooool.¡±
¡°Best Actor, Best Actor, what¡¯s the cat¡¯s name?¡±
Without any hesitation, Fu Sichen said, ¡°¡ Pei Pei.¡±

Pei Pei¡
Fu Sichen felt like Xiao Nian had been a bad influence on him; this name had really grown on him.
This cat used to have another name.
He couldn¡¯t remember if it was Jack, or if it was something like Jerry. Anyway, it was something along those lines.
After calling the cat Pei Zhen out of reflex, Fu Sichen was briefly stunned. Fortunately, the audience didn¡¯t notice that there was anything wrong.
¡°Pei Pei? Is it a female cat?¡±
¡°What do you mean, is it a female cat! Can¡¯t you see it has balls?¡±
¡°Haha¡ This cat¡¯s testicles are so big¡ Doesn¡¯t he need to be neutered or something?¡±
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t sure if he was just being overly sensitive. It seemed as though ever since the words ¡°testicles¡± and ¡°neuter¡± started to appear on the screen, the Persian cat in his arms had started to struggle even more violently. He kept meowing in an exhausted manner, as if being subject to some sort of big shame.
It was crazy enough to think that cats could understand the humannguage. Now, he was even thinking that they could read?
Puzzled, Fu Sichen turned the cat towards himself. This finally gave Pei Zhen his long-awaited chance. He garnered all of the strength he could muster before pouncing forward.
As the cat did this, Fu Sichen nimbly retreated backwards; this weakened the impact. Initially, the cat had wanted to give Fu Sichen a vicious bite. Instead, his cat lips ended up brushing up against Fu Sichen¡¯s lips.
The man was shocked.
So was the cat.
Witnessing this scene, theizens felt stirred up.
¡°Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, my husband¡¯s first kiss!¡±
¡°I want to be that Persian cat right now!¡±
¡°Is this cat our idol¡¯s fan too? He¡¯s so lucky!¡±
It was actually pretty normal for pets and owners to disy some public affection once in a while.
But, Pei Zhen¡¯s soul was stuck inside that cat¡¯s body!
Even if it was the body of a cat, Pei Zhen could still feel himself copse the minute his lips met Fu Sichen¡¯s!
Yuck! Ew! Gross!
Quickly untangling himself from Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen struggled fiercely. Fu Sichen had been so shocked that he couldn¡¯t really process anything else. This gave the cat time to escape.
In a burst of fury, Pei Zhen mmed the Appleptop shut with his paw. He red at Fu Sichen with his head held high before leaping towards Fu Sichen, opening his mouth, and giving him another bite on the chin!
Fu Sichen¡¯s old wound hadn¡¯tpletely healed before a new wound had been added in the same ce.
The bite from the cat the night before had been rather vicious. As a result, Fu Sichen had no choice but go to the Emergency Room at the hospital.
Fu Sichen had been in a bad mood for a while because of this.
Therefore, when he heard his apartment doorbell go off in the morning, Best Actor Fu had answered the door with an extremely sullen expression on his face.
It was the diligent Great Manager Xiao Nian.
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was as cold as usual. He stood at the door and didn¡¯t let Xiao Niane in. ¡°It¡¯s you again?¡±
Xiao Nian hade here because he had been entrusted with an important task by Pei Zhen. He put on his most charming smile, ¡°Thank you, Best Actor Fu, for being so concerned with Pei Zhen. I brought you some breakfast to show my appreciation.¡±
Fu Sichen looked down. Xiao Nian was really holding some takeout; he could already smell hints of the fragrant aroma. It smelled quite appetizing.
However, besides food, Xiao Nian was also holding something else.
It looked like something that he had purchased and prepared in a hurry; it was being carried in amon stic bag. With just one nce, Fu Sichen saw that there was something made out of cotton inside of it.
It seemed to be¡ some small articles of clothing?
¡°This is a gift,¡± Xiao Nian started to spout nonsense before Fu Sichen could even ask. ¡°Congrattions to the Fu Sichen family for the joyous addition of a cat. This is my gift to the cat.¡±
He didn¡¯t seem to think that gifting cat clothes would make him seem strange. After congratting Fu Sichen, he stuck his head inside, looked towards the living room, and called out, ¡°Pei Pei!¡±
The moment that Pei Zhen heard Xiao Nian¡¯s voice, he eagerly ran out of his cage. He opened his mouth to grab hold of the stic bag, and pulled it with him while heading towards the bathroom.
Xiao Nian followed behind the cat.
The bathroom door mmed shut with a bang. Xiao Nian¡¯s muffled voice could be heard, ¡°This pair of pants has zippers on it¡ Sigh, or maybe you can try this on¡ª it¡¯s a little pink dress. You can be a little tease if you put it on¡ Ow!¡±

Chapter 26: Do You Really Think That I Can Fraternize With the Enemy?!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Best Actor Fu¡¯s cat was really strange; it almost seemed like he was possessed.
Other pets would be angry if their owners made them wear clothes. This cat was theplete opposite. He was even rather enthusiastic about it.
Even though Fu Sichen had never owned any pets prior to this cat, he wasn¡¯t stupid. How could he not see something fishy about the whole situation?
¡°Xiao Nian.¡± Fu Sichen briskly walked towards the bathroom. He wanted to open the door, but it was locked. ¡°Open the door.¡±
A shuffling noise could be hearding from inside the bathroom. Fu Sichen started to get impatient. He was about to get the keys to the bathroom, when the door opened.
The white Persian cat was wearing a ck suit that was made for pets. But it seemed to be rather conservative ¨C it covered most of his body.
The cat seemed to be rather happy wearing the pet suit, with his head held upright and chest puffed out. He walked out of the bathroom in an extremely elegant manner. He finally even deigned to give Fu Sichen a hint of a smile.
Of course, it was still a cold smile.
Fu Sichen was stunned.
Fu Sichen read out the words that were printed on the back of the suit, ¡°Little Fairy¡?¡±
¡°Ah ah ah¡¡± Xiao Nian anxiously and loudly called out the moment those words escaped Fu Sichen¡¯s mouth. ¡°Fairy? What fairy? There¡¯s no fairy here! You must be mistaken, Best Actor Fu¡¡± Cough. Cough.
The Great Manager Xiao Nian had red marks all over his body. It was clearly a result of being scratched. Fu Sichen recalled the muffled mention of a ¡°little pink dress¡± just now. There seemed to be something going on that he just couldn¡¯t quite put his finger on.
Something didn¡¯t quite add up.
Obviously afraid that Fu Sichen would start asking questions, Xiao Nian quickly buttered him up by serving breakfast, ¡°These are Chen¡¯s steamed dumplings¡ I had to queue for over two hours to get these!¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t really have anything that he especially craved or wanted to eat. But, he remembered that Pei Zhen had always enjoyed eating Chen¡¯s steamed dumplings.
Xiao Nian was really quite diligent at his job.
While Fu Sichen was off thinking about something else, Xiao Nian quickly served up breakfast¡ª a ss of hot soy milk, a dish of sauce¡ and he pulled out a chair for Fu Sichen to sit on.
The Persian cat jumped onto the table wearing his Little Fairy Girl suit. He felt touched after seeing the breakfast on the table, and started meowing at Xiao Nian.
Even though Pei Zhen could be a littlezy at times, but he never put on any airs. Even though he liked eating the breakfast from Chen¡¯s, he never made Xiao Nian wait in line just to buy it.
Xiao Nianughed heartily, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so touched; I bought thesest night. All I did was heat them up this morning.¡±
Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen stared back at him nkly.
By now, Fu Sichen had already epted Pei Zhen¡¯s presence on the dining table.
There was a sort of sweet and heartwarming atmosphere in the morning air. One man and one cat sat there in silence, eating face to face.
Ka-cha.
It was the sound of Xiao Nian¡¯s cell phone camera shutter.
Both Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen turned to look at him at the same time, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°I¡ I was just taking a picture.¡± He didn¡¯t dare to say that he was actually taking a picture of Pei Zhen. He quickly added, ¡°Best Actor Fu, you¡¯ve recently announced that you¡¯re now the proud owner of a cat, right? All I¡¯m doing is taking a picture of your day to day life.¡±
After saying this, Xiao Nian took a few more pictures in an effort to prove that he was a decent photographer.
Fu Sichen became quite cooperative after hearing that Xiao Nian just wanted to photograph their daily lives. He even struck a pose before adding Xiao Nian on WeChat.
Xiao Nian became both nervous and touched all at the same time.
After receiving Fu Sichen¡¯s permission to share the photographs, he sent out the pictures without any hesitation.
It was rare for Fu Sichen have enough free time to carefully look over and pick out a few pictures. Having that to keep Fu Sichen busy, Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian finally got the chance to meet together in private.
They headed to the kitchen.
Pei Zhen angrily swiped his w towards Xiao Nian, ¡°What¡¯s up with those pictures? Do you really think that I can fraternize with the enemy?¡±
To Xiao Nian, the swipe only felt like someone was trying to scratch an itch; it didn¡¯t hurt at all. By now, he was really starting to feel like Pei Zhen the cat was simply too cute for words.

After careful consideration, Fu Sichen ended up choosing a picture of the cat by himself.
It was a picture of the Persian cat wearing his Little Fairy Girl pet suit sipping soy milk. Outside, the sun shone merrily; it really brought out how happy and contented he looked.
The cat simply radiated a relentless motivation and love for life.
Fu Sichen had never been an avid user of social media. His Weibo ount was just as dormant as his ount for live streaming was, and he would constantly forget the passwords to his ounts. His most recent post had been three months ago, and that was just to promote histest movie.
His fans could only be described as extremely hungry when it came to news about Fu Sichen. Usually, they had to rely on paparazzi to feed them with snippets of his life. They were constantly demanding that Best Actor Fu post more pictures of himself on his Weibo page.
Finally, Fu Sichen updated his Weibo status at 9:30 am that very morning.
¡°Ahhhhhh! My hubby posted a selfie¡ Oh, it¡¯s of a cat. [Funny]¡±
¡°Idol, if you don¡¯t post a picture of yourself, I¡¯ll forget what you look like!¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, you only went live for ten minutesst night! Tell the truth! What have you been doing recently!¡±
¡°Even though I didn¡¯t get my darling, at least I got my darling¡¯s cat¡ Well, a picture of his cat. [doge]
¡°I¡¯m done. Not only do I want Best Actor Fu, but I also want his cat as well.¡±
¡°This cat is too cute, I really want to get a matching outfit! Pei Zhen is a little fairy!¡±
It wasn¡¯t long before Fu Sichen¡¯s Weibo was flooded with countlessments. Despiteining about Best Actor Fu not posting a picture of himself, many fans had been charmed by this cute Persian cat. Someone even asked if this cat would be debuting soon.
Even though Fu Sichen was an indifferent person, he was quite patient when it came to his fans. As much as he was aloof by nature, he still picked out a few questions to answer.
¡°He doesn¡¯t eat cat food.¡±
¡°He wanted to wear the suit.¡±
¡°Mate? I have no intention of letting him mate with anybody anytime soon.¡±
Not to mention, this was the cat that Pei Zhen used his life to save.
Thinking of Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen suddenly felt himself getting bitter all over again.
Only a fool would get himself into an ident for a cat.
Even though Pei Zhen looked like a grumpy person, he was actually quite gentle.
Fu Sichen had lost count of how many little animals that Pei Zhen had rescued over the years. It wasrgely due to his kind nature that animals had always been drawn to him.
¡°Ouch!¡±
Suddenly, a loud shout disrupted Fu Sichen¡¯s train of thought. Xiao Nian had insisted on clearing the table earlier; but now, he was hastily scrambling out of the kitchen with a white Persian cat hot on his heels.
¡°Don¡¯te after me!¡± Xiao Nian shouted as he tried to hide behind Fu Sichen. ¡°I don¡¯t have any magic pills!¡±
The white Persian cat was like a canon, charging towards the two of them at a shockingly high speed. Even though Xiao Nian was hiding behind Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen managed to leap right over Fu Sichen¡¯s head. He violently lunged towards Xiao Nian and used his ws to teach Xiao Nian a lesson.
This time around, he didn¡¯t show any mercy.
Xiao Nian¡¯s shirt had been ripped. Poor Xiao Nian was now in quite a predicament.
¡°¡ What did you do?¡± Fu Sichen asked Xiao Nian.
Pei Zhen wouldn¡¯t scratch people for no reason.
Basically, as long as his bottom line wasn¡¯t crossed, he would be extremely docile.
When Pei Zhen was about to use Xiao Nian¡¯s phone tomunicate, he ended up identally pressing the app to open Weibo; that was when he saw what was trending.
[Fu Sichen¡¯s cat]
When he clicked to erge the picture, he realized that there were the words ¡°Little Fairy Girl¡± printed on the back of his suit.
¡°You¡¯re still very handsome,¡± Xiao Nian used his hands to hold his shredded shirt together. He looked like a young girl that had been bullied. ¡°Really, you were so handsome that you almost stole my soul.¡±
¡°Yes, you¡¯re very handsome indeed.¡± The corners of Fu Sichen¡¯s lips curled upwards. ¡°An extremely handsome little fairy girl.¡±
Just as he predicted, the cat exploded again.
Just like he expected, the cat that Pei Zhen saved was extremely simr to Pei Zhen!

Eventually, both the cat and the cat¡¯s owner chased Xiao Nian out of the apartment.
However, he still had to provide an exnation for the cat¡¯s actions.
¡°Some cats just like to y with cell phones.¡± Xiao Nian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhen jumped onto the sofa and started typing away at the phone. He hit the remote control with his paw and switched on the television.
¡°¡ Some cats also like watching television.¡± Xiao Nian continued.
Pei Zhen flicked through a few channels before stopping on a TV series that he had starred in.
¡°¡ This was the cat that Pei Zhen saved, after all. So the fact that he likes Pei Zhen isn¡¯t really surprising¡ Hahaha,¡± Xiao Nian said in a half-joking manner.
With an awkward smile on his face, Fu Sichen decided that he had heard quite enough. He shut the door with a loud bang.
Fu Sichen turned around to look at the Persian cat sitting on the sofa. He unconsciously frowned. Maybe cats that were purchased were smarter than the average cat?
In the TV series, Pei Zhen yed a policeman.
The man in uniform was just too handsome for words. You couldn¡¯t even see the slightest bit of femininity from Pei Zhen¡¯s exquisite eyebrows and translucent skin. ¡°We need to believe in science. Believing in superstitions only serves to perpetuate myths. We need to explore the world around us through an objective perspective.¡±
With the ability topete on an equal ying field with Fu Sichen for awards like Best Actor, Pei Zhen¡¯s acting skills were unquestionably on a high level.
The policeman on the TV show was upright and righteous; the deep conviction that he had for his beliefs was so palpable that you could sense them just from the look in his eyes. Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but take another look at the Persian cat who was lounging on the couch watching TV. He tried to force himself to suppress the feeling that something wasn¡¯t quite right.
Maybe this cat just had a lot of human-like characteristics.
Fu Sichen stayed at home and cleaned up his apartment in the morning. In the afternoon, he headed off towards the hospital again.
Of course, as the victim of this whole fiasco, Pei Zhen the cat definitely wanted to follow along.
Fu Sichen looked at Pei Zhen the human with an expression so tender that it gave Pei Zhen the cat goosebumps.
Why is he looking at me like that?!
He¡¯s still looking at me!
Pei Zhen was beginning to suspect that Fu Sichen had a fetish for dead bodies. He was just one step away from kissing Pei Zhen¡¯s unconscious body. Granted, his body was still breathing and hadn¡¯t be a corpse just yet.
¡°Why don¡¯t you wake up?¡± Pei Zhen was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed. Fu Sichen took a long look at his body, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to teach me a lesson? Weren¡¯t you going to make me call you Daddy?¡±
After provoking him, why did he still end up in aa?
¡°If you don¡¯t wake up soon, Uncle and Aunt will end up finding out about all of this.¡± Fu Sichen had always been a man of few words. He only became a little more verbose after seeing Pei Zhen lying there unconscious. ¡°Do you remember that sponsorship deal you had with the live broadcast station? Yeah¡ I was the one who got it taken away.¡±
¡°What!!!¡± Pei Zhen the cat finally reacted.
¡°The station had so many viewers; why would they want to sponsor someone like you?¡±
¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I wanted to spite you, I wouldn¡¯t have taken the job when they offered it to me.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, don¡¯t you want to teach me a lesson even more now? Come on and wake up¡ª otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to get back at me.¡±
These words were obviously trying to provoke a fight. Normally, this would have caused the arrogant Pei Zhen to jump up and down in anger. But for now, all Pei Zhen could do was lie there in silence. Although, he did end up getting a reaction from his cat.
The Persian cat with Pei Zhen¡¯s soul jumped onto the hospital bed with every intention of teaching Fu Sichen a lesson. But, for some reason, when he looked into Fu Sichen¡¯s teary red eyes, he was suddenly at a loss.
What was going on?
Why was the person who stole the sponsorship feeling sad instead?!
Pei Zhen feltpletely baffled by Fu Sichen¡¯s actions. Pei Zhen the cat was so shocked that he fell on top of Pei Zhen the human.
Fu Sichen, he¡ he was crying!
¡°There¡¯s something in my eye.¡± Fu Sichen got up and headed towards the bathroom, as if it was embarrassing to be seen crying by anyone¡ª even if that someone only happened to be a cat. ¡°I¡¯m going to go and wash my face.¡±
Pei Zhen the cat kept silent.
The cat couldn¡¯t for his life figure out why Fu Sichen was crying. He really wanted to find Xiao Nian to ask him what was going on. Was Fu Sichen feeling guilty over stealing his sponsorship? Was that why he was crying?
Chapter 29 - Fu Sichen Really, Really Loved Pei Zhen
Chapter 29: Fu Sichen Really, Really Loved Pei Zhen
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fu Sichen had a secret that he kept hidden deep in his heart.
He started to have a crush on Little Brat Pei a long time ago.
Not only was Little Brat Pei handsome, but every time he called Fu Sichen, ¡°Big Brother,¡± that soft and weak voice of his made Fu Sichen feel numb all over.
Even though Little Brat Pei was outstanding in his own right, he was still forced to say that Fu Sichen was the best. The indignant expression on his face at that time¡ had been just too darn adorable.
Little Brat Pei hadn¡¯t even understood what love meant when he was forced to say that he loved Fu Sichen. The blush on his face at that time made Fu Sichen want to kiss him.
Fu Sichen really, really loved Little Brat Pei.
He loved him so much that he wanted to hide Pei Zhen away and keep Pei Zhen for his own eyes only.
But then, Pei Zhen¡¯s fanbase started to grow.
He ended up bing the spokesperson for a live broadcast station.
He would have fans call him their ¡°Hubby,¡± and ¡°Boyfriend¡± every day.
It came at no surprise that Fu Sichen became jealous.
That was why Fu Sichen ended up stealing Pei Zhen¡¯s sponsorship deal, and tried so hard to win the Best Actor Award year after year. He had an ulterior motive¡ª all he wanted to do was catch Pei Zhen¡¯s attention. He also hoped that one day, Pei Zhen would get tired of the entertainment industry.
But, he never imagined that this man would continue to shine and capture the attention of the masses.
¡°Little brat¡¡±
In his heart, Fu Sichen gave a long sigh. He stared at himself in the mirror¡ª his eyes were red. He didn¡¯t feel like himself. He gave his face another ssh of water.
Now that Pei Zhen was stuck in aa, he had to do something. He couldn¡¯t just be depressed all of the time.
Fu Sichen spent some time calming down his emotions beforeing out of the bathroom. As he wasing out, he noticed that Pei Zhen the cat was staring quite intently at Pei Zhen the human.
After a while, for seemingly no reason at all, the cat let out a whimper.
This caught Fu Sichen by surprise.
Fu Sichen walked up softly, and saw the redness in the Persian cat¡¯s eyes. ¡°Are you crying?¡±
The Persian cat jumped, startled by Fu Sichen¡¯s voice, and took two steps back. Feeling thin air beneath his feet, the cat fell off the edge of the bed and onto the ground.
Ow.
Even though he was covered in fur, it still hurt to fall down from such a high ce.
Pei Zhen grimaced in pain and was about to pull himself up, when Fu Sichen¡¯s hands reached out to lift him up.
¡°So you know that it was Pei Zhen who saved you?¡± By now, Fu Sichen waspletely convinced of his cat¡¯s intelligence. But, at the same time, he felt sad. Heforted the cat, ¡°Don¡¯t cry, Pei Zhen will be okay.¡±
¡°No. As long as you¡¯re around, I¡¯ll always be nervous and ufortable,¡± thought the unfortunate cat.
At this point in time, Pei Zhen¡¯s greatest fear was that Fu Sichen would do something strange to his body. The longer Pei Zhen looked at his human body, the more he realized how handsome he was. Who knew what Fu Sichen the Pervert was capable of?!
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t know what Pei Zhen was thinking. If he did, he would definitely give the cat a good spanking.
Fu Sichen and the cat lingered in the room for a while. It was only when a nurse told them that visiting hours were over, that Fu Sichen reluctantly picked up the cat to leave.
Pei Zhen wanted to go home too.
After all, right now he was only a cat. It wasn¡¯t like he could carry a phone with him. The longer that Pei Zhen thought about it, the more that he felt like Fu Sichen stared at his body suspiciously. He really needed Xiao Nian to hurry up and find a shaman.
Fu Sichen had originally wanted to carry the cat in his arms. But, the cat seemed to disagree with his decision. Pei Zhen insisted on resting on Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder.
There was a garden behind the hospital building. It was a shady, evergreen space that had been built for the patients to enjoy.
By now, it was already getting dark, and it was close to mealtime. The garden was quiet.
Suddenly, a pping sound could be heard from the garden. The birds that had been perching on the trees had been disturbed for some reason. Then, a loud wail could be hearding from beyond the shady darkness.
It was the sound of something barking.
Another rapid burst of sound could be heard before everything went silent.

The sounding from the garden was definitely made by a dog. But, to Pei Zhen the cat, it sounded more like a cry for help.
That¡¯s right.
It was a cry for help.
It was definitely a cry for help.
All of a sudden, Pei Zhen held his tail straight in the air and looked astutely towards the garden.
There was something moving amidst the lush foliage. From the outline that had been blurred by the shady greenery, it looked like shadows of men that were dancing. The sounds never stopped¡ª it definitely wasn¡¯t caused by the wind rustling the leaves.
Fu Sichen frowned slightly. He sensed the change in the Persian cat and followed Pei Zhen¡¯s line of sight. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
It had already gotten too dark for him to see anything clearly, and the garden was too overgrown. Even after straining his eyes for a while, Fu Sichen still couldn¡¯t figure out if there was something amiss.
Maybe the cat was interested in the birds just now. It was probably nothing.
Compared to exploring the unknown, Fu Sichen was more concerned about running into paparazzi. He gave the cat a quick pat before saying in a soft tone, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±
The cat refused to cooperate.
Pei Zhen was still staring in the direction of something that was in the darkness.
¡°That poor dog.¡±
¡°Those people are sick. They didn¡¯t even spare any mercy to a guide dog.¡±
¡°Oh no, what do we do now? Maybe that handsome man will find out what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°What the hell, those two dog thieves areing in through the dog hole!¡±
The birds that had flown away earlier were now hovering around the telephone posts, chattering away in a worried manner. Pei Zhen the cat could understand every single word that the birds were saying.
It really was a cry for help!
By this point, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t take it anymore. With an agile motion, he jumped onto a tree branch and looked towards the shady darkness. There really was a man crawling through a dog hole and another man dragging a dog.
The dog¡¯s eyes were closed and its body was limp. Clearly, it had been drugged.
¡°Bastards! Stop right there!¡±
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but let out a curse. All that came out of his mouth was a rather majestic meow; however, at the very least, it managed to make the two dog thieves jump in fright.
¡°F*ck! Stupid cat!¡± The fatter one among the two dog thieves was scared stiff. He stood there, trying to hold on to the dog. He turned around and red at the icy blue eyed Persian cat sitting on the tree. He fumed with anger.
The Fat One bent over, picked up a pebble, loaded his slingshot, aimed, and fired it at the cat.
As a cat, Pei Zhen was as agile as can be. With a slight hop, he easily avoided the flying pebble.
The cat jumped down from the tree and charged fiercely at the Fat One with his ws extended!
¡°Ahhhhh!¡±
How could Pei Zhen fail after practicing how to viciously attack someone for so many days? With just one swipe of his ws, the Fat One almost had his flesh torn away!
¡°Pei Pei!¡± Fu Sichen cried out in a rare disy of anxiety. Putting all of his worries aside, he ran towards them while yelling, ¡°Pei Pei!¡±
On the other side of the shady darkness, a high wall blocked most of the light from the streetmps. The white Persian catnded on the ground with his fur all puffed up in anger. Without even the slightest pause, he meowed again before tearing straight for that man once more.
The cat acted with both speed and ferociousness. The Fat One was in pain and fury after being attacked a second time. He tried to dodge to one side when he saw the cating towards him again.
The thinner man, who had been crawling through the dog hole, picked up a stone. He steeled himself before aiming and throwing it at the cat.
Pei Zhen was stunned for a while.
But, he didn¡¯t have time to move away.
His gaze followed the stone that was hurtling towards himself before being caught by surprise.
Pow!
Two stones collided in midair. The stone missed Pei Zhen because another stone hade flying out of nowhere to knock away the stone aiming for the cat. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t get hurt because he rolled away just in time.
Silence ensued after the loud collision. Fu Sichen red at the two dog thieves with an icy expression. ¡°Come here, Pei Pei.¡±
This time, the cat didn¡¯t resist. He turned his head around before running towards Fu Sichen.
Then, he took a light and nimble jump into Fu Sichen¡¯s outstretched arms.

After taking care of the two dog thieves, they could finally take a look at the dog that was lying on the ground.
The dog was still wearing a cor. Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t really see what it looked like in the dark, but it seemed like one of those special guide dog harnesses.
Therefore, this was definitely some kind of guide dog.
¡°You!¡± The Fat One looked at Fu Sichen. He found Fu Sichen¡¯s face to be vaguely familiar, but couldn¡¯t quite put a finger on who exactly he was. Aftermitting a crime, he felt both guilty and nervous, so he tried to back away slowly from the scene of the crime.
¡°This is your cat?¡± On the other hand, the thinner man was quite m. He steadily crawled out of the dog hole and dusted the dirt off his body before giving a coldugh, ¡°You better pay up.¡±
As he was saying this, he red at the Fat One and gave him a shove. The Fat One suddenly caught on. He used his hands to cover the scratch that Pei Zhen had given him. Then, he put on a fierce expression to say, ¡°That¡¯s right! Compensation! Are you keeping a cat to scratch other people? You better give us one thousand dors¡ No, that¡¯s not enough¡ ten thousand dors minimum!¡±
Fu Sichen had a handsome face; even if he wasn¡¯t wearing a suit that was obviously brand-name, it wasn¡¯t too hard to tell that it was both luxurious and expensive. He was even wearing a brand-name watch. The Skinny One and the Fat One¡¯s eyes gleamed with greed.
They should have asked for more money!
The two men came up with an evil n. The Fat One suddenly held his face and hollered, ¡°I¡¯ll have to get shots! It¡¯ll take up my precious time and energy! I need to bepensated for all of these things!¡±
¡°Is that so.¡± Fu Sichen gave an expressionless smile. His gaze fell on the unconscious guide dog. He didn¡¯t wait for the Fat One to finish speaking before interjecting, ¡°Is this your dog?¡±
¡°Of course he¡¯s ours!¡± The Skinny One dragged the dog behind him roughly before shouting fiercely, ¡°Your cat also bit our dog! You need topensate us for that too!¡±
All these two people knew how to do was spew nonsense; it was obvious that all they cared about was money. Pei Zhen had the urge to rush up and scratch them again!
Feeling Pei Zhen¡¯s anger, Fu Sichen reached out to pat and calm him. ¡°It looks like this dog is a guide dog¡ª are any of you blind?¡±
¡°What are you trying to imply?!¡± Not only did Fu Sichen not address the issue ofpensation, but now, he was even trying to use the dog to distract them. The Fat One started to swear, ¡°What do you mean! Of course this dog is ours!¡±
¡°But if he was your dog, then why did you need to drug him?¡±
¡®¡±He¡ he¡¯s sick. That¡¯s why he¡¯s unconscious.¡± The Skinny One had quite a quick wit; but s, he used it to do bad things. ¡°We were worried about him, so we wanted to crawl through the dog hole as a shortcut.¡±
The story was getting so far-fetched that the Fat One lost his patience. He just wanted Fu Sichen to shut up and pay up.
Discussion was impossible when it came to dealing with a bunch of thugs. Pei Zhen was getting angry at their nonsense. When the Fat One took a step forward, it was thest straw for Pei Zhen. He gave a cry before rushing forward!
¡°Arrrhhhh¡¡±
The moment that Pei Zhen called out, the Fat One was taken by surprise. He stumbled a few steps back before collecting himself after a few moments. The Fat One had now beenpletely pissed off by Pei Zhen the cat.
Picking up a stick off the ground, the Fat One rushed towards Fu Sichen, ¡°No more nonsense! Your cat bit us, so you better pay up!¡±
This time around, both the Fat One and the Skinny One were charging at Fu Sichen.
In any case, this ce was so remote that it would be stupid not to take the opportunity to extort some money.
The two thugs advanced forward fiercely. Fu Sichen rxed his hands and the cat nimbly jumped out of the way. After waiting for the two toe closer, Fu Sichen turned around and kicked off a tree trunk with his long legs. He borrowed this momentum to spin around and send the Fat One flying away with a powerful sweep of his leg.
Uponnding, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t even take a moment to rest. He grabbed the stick in the Thin One¡¯s hands with one hand and punched him with the other.
¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡± After the two thieves¡¯ painful cries sounded out in the night, shlights could be seening down the little path around the garden.
Chapter 32 - You Got Dirty Again; You’ll Need to Take Another Bath.
Chapter 32: You Got Dirty Again; You¡¯ll Need to Take Another Bath.
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The hospital¡¯s security guard had arrived on the scene.
The sound of fighting and yelling in the darkness at night had drawn their attention. The shlight pointed at the Fat One¡¯s face.
Blood was oozing out of the deep scratch on his face; a tiny piece of flesh was still hanging loosely off the gaping wound. It looked quite horrific.
The scene was too upsetting and shocking for the security guard to handle by themselves. With trembling hands, he immediately called the police.
Hence, three humans, a cat, and a dog, were now being brought to the police station.
¡°Big Brother Policeman, he¡¯s the one who started hitting us in the first ce!¡± The Fat One held his wounded face, crying as he filed theint. ¡°Not only did he beat us up, but he also made his cat attack us!¡±
Thus, a rather curious scene was yed out in the Donghai City Police Station.
It looked like the thugs were the ones that had been badly beaten this time around. They even pleaded with the police for help before anyone else could get a word in edgewise. They used the actor and his cat of bullying them.
The policeman didn¡¯t quite know what to make of all of this.
The policeman looked at the Fat One, before subconsciously casting his eyes on Best Actor Fu and his cat. The cat¡¯s eyes were wide and round, even a little wet. He had shrunk into his owner¡¯s embrace, as if he was scared of this strange, new environment.
¡°Meow,¡± the cat called out.
The Persian cat¡¯s meow was soft and low, very gentle; it momentarily melted the policeman¡¯s heart. He observed that Fu Sichen was not only clean and tidy, but his face also looked like it belonged to a decent man with integrity.
¡°The nerve of some people!¡± The policeman turned around, feeling angry. ¡°This cat is so small and docile, how could he bite anybody! If you¡¯re going to lie, can¡¯t you even do it properly?!¡±
¡°Ay, no.¡± The Skinny One got nervous at once. ¡°Big Brother Policeman, this man really did hit us. Look at my swollen eye¡ª that¡¯s where he hit me.¡±
¡°The great Best Actor Fu was just awarded the Most Outstanding Youth Award; how could he beat you up?¡± Even though the two thugs failed to recognize Fu Sichen, the policeman clearly did. He continued by saying, ¡°While the two of you are off getting in trouble every day, Fu Sichen is going around doing good deeds!¡±
As he was speaking, the policeman turned around to face Fu Sichen, and his tone changed. In a gentle manner, he asked, ¡°Best Actor Fu, you didn¡¯t hit anyone, correct?¡±
Fu Sichen shook his head earnestly, ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡±
¡°See?¡± The policeman steeled his face as he looked at the Fat One and the Skinny One. He said in a business-like manner, ¡°He just said that he didn¡¯t hit you guys!¡±
The Fat One and the Skinny One looked at one another.
Cr*p! This officer waspletely biased!
¡°At that time, my cat had heard the sound of a dog whining.¡± Fu Sichen followed his lie with the truth, ¡°I was curious, so I went over to take a look. They had the dog with them and were trying to crawl through a dog hole.¡±
Fu Sichen smiled, ¡°Comrade policeman, you should probably check who this guide dog belongs to.¡±
The moment that Fu Sichen said this, the policeman immediately understood what was going on.
The two thugs wanted to hit Fu Sichen because Fu Sichen had discovered that they were stealing the dog. As for their injuries, it was probably a result of fighting amongst themselves over how to best split the loot.
The policeman, who was also a self-proimed dog-lover, sent out a notice to find the guide dog¡¯s owner. At the same time, he tried to settle the dog down and ced the two thugs in restraints.
The two thugs didn¡¯t think that they would end up in this situation. They were almost in tears when they were forced to write a report.
This was especially true after the policeman made them recite the ¡°Eight Honors and Eight Shames¡± conduct code.
If this ever got out, they would be aughing stock amongst their peers. They wouldn¡¯t be able to continue doing this for a living anymore.
Fu Sichen and the cat were both uninjured.
Before they left the police station, the policeman even asked Fu Sichen for his autograph; Pei Zhen quickly made sure to leave his paw print behind as well.
The paw print was inked with the mud on Pei Zhen¡¯s feet after running through the garden. It had been quite muddy.
The policeman was initially going to show off the autograph. But then, he saw the dirty paw print; the stumped look on his face was priceless.
Hmmmph. Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t very happy. That was the autograph of the second generation Best Actor. How ignorant of him!
¡°You got dirty again.¡± Fu Sichen looked at the paw print before adding faintly, ¡°You¡¯ll need to take another bath.¡±

In the end, Pei Zhen was forced to take a bath.
After being bathed and blow-dried, Pei Zhen looked up at the ceiling with an expression of resignation.
¡°Don¡¯t you like taking baths?¡± Fu Sichen found this scene to be rather funny. He stooped down, picked the cat up, and lifted him up high, ¡°Are you tired? Or maybe you¡¯re hungry? Do you want to watch a TV show that your Daddy starred in?¡±
Pei Zhen thought, who are you calling Daddy? Who wants to be his son!
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t react in time because he was ranting too much about Fu Sichen in his head; Fu Sichen took his silence as agreement. However, when Fu Sichen got up to turn on the TV, it was still on the channel that was broadcasting the series that Pei Zhen had starred in.
It was the police series that propagated the importance of science over superstition. Pei Zhen looked at himself on the television feeling stunned.
¡°I ordered some food delivery; it should being pretty soon.¡± Fu Sichen then turned around, and as if remembering something, said, ¡°Dad also asked Wang Youquan to buy you a toy.¡±
Dad?!
Why on earth was he, Pei Zhen, called ¡°Daddy,¡± and him, the enemy Fu Sichen, called ¡°Dad?!¡±
To be honest, their rtionship was getting reallyplicated. Otherwise, why would an intelligent being such as himself be so lost about the whole situation? By now, all he felt was confused and perplexed over who was who and what was what.
¡°Pei Pei.¡±
Fu Sichen called out to Pei Zhen, disrupting the cat¡¯s train of thought. Pei Zhen looked up, and saw that Fu Sichen was holding a stout rat in one of his hands.
¡°Ahhhhh!¡± Pei Zhen immediately lost hisposure as a celebrity, and jumped onto the sofa in fright; his white fur was all puffed up.
In a hurry to run away, Pei Zhen lost his footing and fell off of the sofa. He ignored the pain, turned around, and immediately got up again before meowing and frantically scrambling towards the direction of the other room.
The only other essible room in the apartment was Fu Sichen¡¯s bedroom.
So, the terrified Pei Zhen found himself dashing into Fu Sichen¡¯s bedroom. He jumped onto Fu Sichen¡¯s bed and buried himself in his sheets. Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to curse throughout this entire process.
Cr*p! Cr*p! Cr*p!
¡°*sshole!¡±
¡°Evil Butthead! You did that on purpose, didn¡¯t you?!¡±
¡°Fu Sichen, you bastard! I hate you the most!¡±
Pei Zhen took in a big gulp of air while swearing and cursing at the same time. But, all Fu Sichen heard, was the pathetic meowing of a cat that had been terrified to the point of exhaustion.
Fu Sichen quickly followed the cat into the bedroom.
¡°Pei Pei?¡±
There was a bulge under the nket, and it was trembling. Fu Sichen walked towards it with uncertainty, before lifting up the nket to expose the trembling cat, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±
What did he mean what was wrong! This cat was deathly afraid of rats, okay! What a scumbag!
The exposed cat looked up, and saw the ¡°rat¡± in Fu Sichen¡¯s hands all over again.
The rat was ck all over and rather stout. The minute that Pei Zhen saw it, he could just imagine the sharp squeaking sound that rats made.
¡°F*ck!¡± Pei Zhen meowed weakly, retreating slowly step by step, ¡°Don¡¯te near me! Fu Sichen! You bastard¡ Fu Sichen! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
The Persian cat kept meowing nervously. Fu Sichen nced at the ¡°rat¡± in his hand before taking another look at Pei Zhen. He came to a rather puzzling conclusion.
His cat, seemed to be afraid of rats?
Hmmmmm¡.
The Persian cat¡¯s reactions reminded Fu Sichen of Pei Zhen.
The Little Brat Pei that he adored was also afraid of rats. Pei Zhen had even found an excuse for his phobia! He said that even Doraemon was scared of rats, so there wasn¡¯t anything embarrassing about him being scared of them too.
So now, Fu Sichen was rather curious¡ª was it embarrassing for a cat to be afraid of rats?
¡°This rat is fake.¡± He knew that Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t answer him directly. Fu Sichen put away the cat toy, paused for a moment, and tried his best tofort him by saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid?¡±
Chapter 34 - Best Actor Fu’s Cat Was Amazing
Chapter 34: Best Actor Fu¡¯s Cat Was Amazing
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Best Actor Fu¡¯s cat was amazing.
He didn¡¯t like eating cat food, so he only ate human food.
He didn¡¯t like being naked, so he wanted to wear clothes.
He wasn¡¯t afraid of dogs, but he was terrified at the mere sight of a rat!
Fu Sichen just couldn¡¯t quite understand his cat. He wondered if other people¡¯s cats were also like this.
¡°I¡¯ve thrown the toy away.¡±
¡°Really, everything¡¯s okay now. You cane out now.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve threw it in the garbage outside; the door is shut, so it can¡¯t get inside.¡±
At this point, Fu Sichen was standing at the doorway trying to pacify his cat. He was trying to convince the cat in all earnestness that he had already thrown away the toy rat.
The Persian cat didn¡¯t seem to believe him. He sat on his bed thinking for a long time before reluctantly jumping off.
It wasn¡¯t his fault!
Pei Zhen felt terribly offended and wronged, and started to give himself all sorts of excuses. The manufacturer was really perverse. Why did they have to make a cat toy look so real?! It looked just like a real rat!
Pei Zhen lived in a vige for a short time during his childhood. At that time, the living conditions in the vige weren¡¯t that great. When night fell, rats woulde out in droves and his room would be infested with them. The sound of their squeaking drove him nuts.
It was because of this that Pei Zhen was psychologically traumatized by them even until now.
The Persian cat was cautious and alert. In some strange and inexplicable way, Fu Sichen felt that this cat was very like Pei Zhen.
This was crazy.
Fu Sichen shook his head, trying to suppress these thoughts. He had initially intended to scare the cat one more time, but his conscience got the better of him; he quickly stuffed the ¡°rat¡± into the bag.
Nevermind, he¡¯d throw it out tomorrow.
Fu Sichen went back to his usual routine of turning on the TV for the cat before heading into the bathroom for a shower. When he came out, he noticed that the cat¡¯s eyes were wet from watching the show starring Pei Zhen.
When he was still a human, Pei Zhen would never watch his own shows.
But after turning into a cat, he would inevitably get emotional after watching himself on the screen. He would think to himself, ¡°My god, I really am such a great actor!¡±
How could he be such a great actor and still not win the Best Actor Award? He was convinced that it must have been that *sshole Fu Sichen¡¯s evil maniption!
Pei Zhen had taken the opportunity to send Xiao Nian a text while Fu Sichen was taking a shower. It was an emotional and heartfelt message asking Xiao Nian to hurry up with finding a shaman!
When Fu Sichen walked out of the bathroom, Pei Zhen just happened to be facing him.
It was still summertime, so Best Actor Fu came out with only a thin towel wrapped around his waist. His fringe hung over his face, making him look more approachable and warm. Beads of water rolled along the length of his hair and umted and swelled at the ends of his hair before falling silently. They continued their winding journey along his chin, to his bare chest, along his abs, and made their way down even further¡
Pei Zhen quickly turned his head to the side.
Staring at his enemy¡¯s body went against all of his principles!
Of course, Fu Sichen had no idea what his cat was thinking. He was only too d to see that the cat was concentrating on the TV show.
¡°At the very least, your Daddy didn¡¯t save you in vain.¡±
Fu Sichen carelessly dried his hair with a towel and sat on the sofa. He didn¡¯t even notice how shocked the Persian cat looked when he made that remark.
Fu Sichen would watch all of the shows that Pei Zhen starred in.
It didn¡¯t matter what role Pei Zhen was ying¡ª whether the lead or a cameo. One of his favorite things to do was drawing the curtains closed, dimming the lights, and allowing the image of the person he loved to be imprinted on his heart and soul whenever he had time to himself.
The only difference today was that the Persian cat was with him as he thought about Pei Zhen.
Only¡ Best Actor Fu would have never, even in his wildest imaginations, thought that the person that he fancied had turned into a cat. To top that off, that the person he loved now firmly believed that he had a fetish for dead bodies¡

Fu Sichen had taken three days off of work in the hopes of getting a good rest. But, early in the morning, Wang Youquan gave him an urgent call.
¡°Fu Sichen! You were in a fightst night?! You even ended up at the police station!¡±
Wang Youquan felt terribly victimized by Fu Sichen¡¯s annoyance.
Being a manager of an artiste was not an easy job!
He slept in the office overnight because he had to finish some extra work. But in the morning, his colleague Mrs. Flower came to visit him.
¡°Wow, your Best Actor Fu really is a jack of all trades. He beat someone up to the point of hospitalization. Why, he evennded himself some time in the police station.¡±
Wang Youquan was speechless.
The shocked manager immediately logged onto his Weibo ount. Just as he had feared, Best Actor Fu was trending and in all thetest headlines. Again!
Only this time, it was for something negative!
¡°Fu Sichen¡¯s Evening At the Police Station; Suspected Brawl.¡±
The report was quite well researched; the reporter had allegedly interviewed the hospital security personnel. ording to the security guard, Fu Sichen punched the Skinny One and kicked the Fat One. He was now being detained by the police because of his extremely violent behavior.
Not only did the reporter manage to twist the truth, but he also managed to take a photograph of Fu Sichen leaving the police station.
It was taken secretly, so the picture wasn¡¯t in very sharp resolution. However, anyone who was familiar with Best Actor Fu could tell that it was him.
¡°You really got into a fight?¡± Wang Youquan had worked with Fu Sichen for so many years, so he found it hard to believe that Fu Sichen could be so impulsive, ¡°Are the reporters making things up again? Those deplorable dredges of society really need to be taught a lesson. I¡¯ll send them a cease and desist from awyer!¡±
¡°They didn¡¯t make it up.¡± Fu Sichen was annoyed and in a bad mood because he had been disturbed from his sleep. He said in a hostile tone, ¡°I really did hit those people.¡±
Wang Youquan was stunned.
¡°What on earth were you thinking, Fu Sichen!¡±
The Great Manager Wang wanted to yell loudly to express how shocked and angry he was feeling at the moment. But, he couldn¡¯t even do that because of his naturally soft and feminine voice!
This was so frustrating!
Where did his professional and aplished top artiste go?!
¡°It wasn¡¯t a big deal.¡± Fu Sichen said in his usual nonchnt manner,pletely unaware of his manager¡¯s anger, ¡°I was on the side of justice. Don¡¯t worry¡ª you¡¯ll still end up winning the Manager¡¯s Gold Award this year.¡±
After appeasing Wang Youyuan, Fu Sichen turned off his phone, tossed it to the side, and went back to sleep.
The hairy white ball next to his hand shifted petntly under his nket, as if he had been disturbed by the loud conversation. Fu Sichen opened his eyes to nce at the ball of fur before reaching out and pulling it into his embrace.
The night before, he had really missed Pei Zhen. He ended up drinking a couple of sses of red wine to calm himself down.
It seems like the Persian cat also had a few drinks?
In a daze, Fu Sichen shut his eyes again to fall into a deep sleep. All he could think about was how simr the Persian cat and Pei Zhen were. They both had extremely low alcohol tolerances.
After Fu Sichen hung up, Wang Youquan tried to call back multiple times. None of the calls went through.
Wang Youquan was so angry that he was almost in tears.
But, after a good cry, he knew that he still needed to act pleasant with these celebrities.
The inte was flooded withments. Some questioned the reports, while others reprimanded Fu Sichen. Fans of celebrities thatpeted with Best Actor Fu quickly acted on this rare opportunity to put him down.
¡°Wow, Best Actor Fu and his cat are criminals now? Is that what Best Actors do nowadays?¡±
¡°I heard he was an all-rounder, excelling in intellect, character, and physical strength¡ Now it seems like those were all lies.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu¡¯s fans can finally see his true colors. Don¡¯t be blinded by him, you fools.
Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t bring himself to finish reading the rest of the nastyments. He needed to contact the Public Rtions Department to discuss possible countermeasures. Just as he opened the door, however, he almost ran into someone.
¡°This is¡ ?¡±
It was a sweet young thing. She had a bodyguard standing behind her; he had a pennant in his hands.

¡°My grandfather was so anxiousst night. Really, thank god that Best Actor Fu was there!¡±
The sweet young thing didn¡¯t look very old. She was in her early twenties at the most¡ª the age that a lot of young people chased after idols. When she mentioned Best Actor Fu, her eyes shone with excitement. She just couldn¡¯t stop praising him.
¡°Ha¡ haha. It¡¯s¡ it¡¯s our pleasure.¡± The actual situation ended up being a lot better than the news made it out to be; this made Wang Youquan feel relieved. However, after seeing what was written on the pennant, Wang Youquan felt a little embarrassed, ¡°Fu Sichen only did what anybody else would have done, so¡¡±
Could somebody tell him why the pennant said ¡°Miracle Healer,¡± when all Fu Sichen did was save a dog¡¯s life? Best Actor Fu was an actor, not a doctor!
¡°So¡ ?¡± The youngdy tilted her head and frowned slightly. She looked quite cute, ¡°Do you also feel that this description is inadequate? Yes, yes, yes! I was actually thinking the same thing! I wanted the shop to change it to say ¡°Iparably Good-Looking,¡± but the shop refused my request.¡±
Wang Youquan was baffled.
So¡ she wasn¡¯t giving this pennant to Best Actor Fu just because of his handsome face? Why did it seem like she thought that Fu Sichen had saved the universe? All he did was save a dog!
Wang Youquan felt embarrassed. He didn¡¯t quite understand what the youngdy was thinking. But more importantly, he wanted the youngdy to rify the truth with the onlineizens.
Initially, Wang Youquan was hoping that the youngdy would release a simple Weibo message exining what had happened. However, she sighed and suggested, ¡°The sillyizens would be suspicious if I was the only one toe forward with an exnation. Why don¡¯t you ask the police station to release a statement?¡±
¡°Ummm¡¡± This youngdy was really na?ve. Wang Youquan wiped the sweat off his face as he said, ¡°The police don¡¯t have the time and energy to handle small things like this.¡±
¡°This has to do with Best Actor Fu¡¯s reputation! How can it be insignificant!¡± The youngdy seemed upset. She took out her cell phone and started to make a call, ¡°I¡¯ll have my father talk to his subordinates.¡±
¡°Your father?¡± Wang Youquan asked, puzzled.
The youngdy looked up and replied, ¡°Yes, my dad is Lin Dongyu.¡±
Wang Youquan was stunned¡ Lin Dongyu? Wasn¡¯t that the mayor of Donghai City?!
And just now, it seemed like this youngdy mentioned her grandfather?
Cr*p! If that was the case, then the guide dog from the night before wasn¡¯t just any ordinary guide dog¡ª he was a government official¡¯s guide dog!
The news that Fu Sichen had gotten into a fight was getting more and more viral. Not only were anti-fans furious, but they were also having the time of their lives feeding the rumor mill.
Before hispetitors got too carried away, Fu Sichen¡¯s agency posted on their official Weibo ount: ¡°Brave Best Actor Fu Beats up Dog Thieves and Saves Guide Dog! @Fu SichenXHPZAllTheWay!¡±
They attached a photograph of the youngdy dressed in all-pink handing Wang Youquan a pennant; it was a heartwarming event.
After the agency released the statement on its official Weibo page, the Donghai City Police Station followed suit. They sessfully spread out the truth of what happened that night, as well as Fu Sichen¡¯s heroic actions. They even thoughtfully thanked Fu Sichen and his agency for their help.
By now, Weibo had so manyments flooding in that it almost crashed the server.
¡°I knew it! My hubby is righteous!¡±
¡°Now the anti-fans can shut up! What a p in the face!¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu is my darling! I idolize you, love you, and want to give you long distance calls!¡±
¡°It¡¯s good that things have been rified, but what¡¯s up with that pennant¡ Hahaha.¡±
¡°My god! The truth has finally been revealed, but my idol still isn¡¯t showing up! Great manager Wang Youquan, who asked you to receive the pennant on my idol¡¯s behalf?! [doge][doge]¡±
Wang Youquan was annoyed. The idol in question, just so happened to not want to pick up his calls! What. Could. He. Do. About. That!

The onlineizens weren¡¯t the only people that were eager to see Fu Sichen¡ª even the youngdy that gifted the pennant wanted to see him.
However, Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t get Fu Sichen to pick up any of his calls.
No matter what, the youngdy had helped to protect Fu Sichen¡¯s reputation. Therefore, Wang Youquan felt really bad because he couldn¡¯t meet her request. She wanted to take a picture with Best Actor Fu.
¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Fu Sichen to thank you personally once I can get in touch with him?¡±
Wang Youquan was doing his best to please the Mayor¡¯s daughter. Therefore, by the time Fu Sichen had woken up, his phone was full of Wang Youquan¡¯s messages.
[Do a livestream!]
[Do you know how much this youngdy idolizes you!]
[Fu Sichen, if you don¡¯t livestream, then I¡¯ll kill you!]
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes after reading thatst message.
However, the short but numerous texts that Fu Sichen received from Wang Youquan gave him a good idea of what had happened when he was asleep. He knew that he was only able to pull himself out of this controversy this quickly because of the youngdy.
Without a doubt, he had to thank her somehow.
Fu Sichen subconsciously looked down the cat in his arms.
He was still embracing the Persian cat who was sleeping soundly. His belly rose and fell with every breath he took; it was very cute.
Fu Sichen already knew that his Persian cat was odd. For example, he liked to wear clothes during the day. But, he never knew that this cat was so strange that he even wanted to wear his clothes to bed.
He was wearing a set of loose-fitting animal pajamas. It looked like it took into ountfort over style.
Fu Sichen rested his cheek on his palm, and gazed at the cat for a while. He couldn¡¯t resist extending his finger towards him.
He recalled that whenever the words ¡°neuter¡± or ¡°testicles¡± were used, the cat would always have a strong reaction. Was he trying to cover something up by putting on clothes?
Why?
Was it because his testicles were abnormal or something?
Fu Sichen¡¯s fingers came into contact with the pet suit.
The pajamas were intricately made¡ª the top was a pullover and the bottom was a zip-up. Fu Sichen began to lightly undo the zipper.
It might have been because Fu Sichen was holding his breath while being extremely focused, but his careful unzipping waspletely silent. Even after the zipper had beenpletely undone, the Persian cat was still sleeping.
Fu Sichen pursed his lips.
Using his fingertips, he lightly pulled apart the cat¡¯s hind legs.
Pei Zhen had a particrly bad alcohol tolerance; he got drunk easily. This was even more true after he turned into a cat¡ª the only trait that he managed to inherit, as a cat, wasziness. He manifested this trait to perfection.
The cat must have felt his clothing being pulled away, so he got annoyed. He unconsciously grunted even though he was still dreaming.
He was having a nice dream.
In his dream, he was human again; he dreamt that not only was he more outstanding than Fu Sichen, but he was also taller than him!
In his dream, he was young and proud. He lifted his chin to ridicule Fu Sichen, ¡°You *sshole! Admit defeat and call me Daddy.¡±
Then, the scene changed. It was the Film Awards. The host was excitedly announcing, ¡°Congrattions to Pei Zhen¡ª he¡¯s finally beaten Fu Sichen to be Best Actor. Let¡¯s wee to the stage, the world¡¯s most handsome man, Pei Zhen!
Pei Zhenughed heartily.
He walked briskly towards the stage with light steps.
Only, as he was walking down the aisle, he felt a strange coldness down below. He also had the strange urge to pee.
Finally, the cat woke up from his dream.
Still in a daze, he noticed that Fu Sichen was closely examining something.
He followed Fu Sichen¡¯s line of sight only to see that his pants had been unzipped and his lower body had been exposed!
Huh!!! Huh!!!

Disgusting!
Pervert!
He was mentally ill!
Pei Zhen the cat waspletely devastated!
He didn¡¯t even want to think about how he had ended up in the same bed as Fu Sichen. Right now, all he wanted to do was strangle the man to death!
¡°I saw the news. Thank you, Miss Lin.¡±
Fu Sichen was finally doing a live broadcast.
He was the Vice President of his agency. However, even though he had a lot of authority, he always listened to Manager Wang Youquan¡¯s arrangements. Although Wang Youquan could be rather annoying, everything that he did was for Fu Sichen¡¯s own good.
Fu Sichen had gone live just for the sake of going live. He didn¡¯t care if there was only a small audience. Therefore, he wasn¡¯t really particr about when he broadcasted. As long as it was within working hours, he would even go live at 10 in the morning.
But even then, many of his fans would still shout out for him in thements. They would shower their ¡°sweetheart¡± with gifts while at work.
The wound on Fu Sichen¡¯s chin had almost healed. A faint bite scar was only visible if you were looking carefully.
Just like Wang Youquan told him to do, Fu Sichen thanked the youngdy for her pennant. Then, he turned his gaze towards the living room. He eventually spoke up again.
¡°Give me a second.¡±
The news about Best Actor Fu fighting dog thieves had eventually evolved into a hot debate about animal rights.
Fu Sichen thought about Pei Zhen.
He also thought about what Pei Zhen would do in this kind of situation. Now that Pei Zhen was in aa, maybe he could carry on Pei Zhen¡¯s will.
The white Persian cat was curled up on the sofa, impatiently channel surfing with the remote control. Every time he heard footsteps, it would put him on edge. He¡¯d suddenly turn around to stare viciously at the direction of the sound.
¡°Cr*p!¡±
¡°You still have the audacity to try ande near me!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll bite you to death!¡±
Pei Zhen was boiling with fury and me. But to Fu Sichen, it just seemed like he was weakly meowing. Fu Sichen coughed once. For some reason, he felt like a beast.
All he did was unzip the cat¡¯s pants to take a good look at his genitals. But, he didn¡¯t even have time to process what he saw before the Persian cat had angrily flipped over, jumped onto his chest, and viciously scratched him. He reckoned that the cat was trying to kill him.
¡°You¡¯re the true hero that saved the guide dog.¡± Fu Sichen hesitated for a bit before saying the word ¡°hero¡±. He continued by saying, ¡°I think that the world deserves to know the truth.¡±
Silence ensued.
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t really want to respond to Fu Sichen. He narrowed his eyes and watched Fu Sichen walk towards him. He gripped the remote control as he felt the urge for a showdown. But, in the end, he was still mercilessly picked up by Fu Sichen!
¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t save the guide dog. My cat did.¡± Fu Sichen carried the struggling cat in his arms before returning to theptop, ¡°He was the one who discovered the two dog thieves in the first ce. Not only is my cat very gentle, but he¡¯s also extremely adorable. I hope that everyone treats animals well.¡±
The live broadcast screen was first bombarded with a round of unforgettable condemnation before focusing on the Persian cat.
¡°Best Actor Fu¡¯s arms have been scratched all over!¡±
¡°The cat did it! This cat seems to really like scratching people!¡±
¡°Idol, do you really think that he¡¯s gentle? Idol, don¡¯t those scratches hurt?¡±
¡°Hahaha, are you guys not seeing the way that the cat keeps pawing at Best Actor Fu¡¯s clothes? He¡¯s probably lusting after my hubby¡¯s body!¡±
¡°That¡¯s true! Pei Pei, go for It! Pei Pei, tear his clothes apart! Share your joy with us! Show us Best Actor Fu¡¯s body!¡±
Pei Zhen was extremely irritated.
Go to hell!
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to be on the same screen as Fu Sichen. He wasn¡¯t in the mood to scratch anyone anymore, so he escaped from Fu Sichen¡¯s arms with a kick of his hind legs. He really didn¡¯t want to look at the live broadcast screen anymore.
He was sure that if he kept looking, he¡¯d end up coughing up blood.
¡°That¡¯s all I had to say.¡± Fu Sichen had always been a man of few words, ¡°Now, I¡¯m going to be doing something rted to clothing. Please continue to watch if you¡¯re still interested!¡±

Clothing?
After Fu Sichen brought this up, the screen started to go crazy withments.
¡°Are you going to strip for your fans???!!!¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu is the best! It¡¯s all or nothing!¡±
¡°Ahhhhhh! I¡¯m so excited! I swear with my all of my hands and legs! My imaginary ¡®phantom limb¡¯ is erect!¡±
¡°Photos! Photos! Photos! Sweetheart, don¡¯t be afraid of being a bad influence! We¡¯re all 18 years or older here!¡±
Fu Sichen was speechless.
He really didn¡¯t understand his fans.
Wasn¡¯t he an upright and decent person? How did he end up with such lusty fans?
He didn¡¯t realize that it was his own fault. His fans were so thirsty because he never posted any selfies. Fu Sichen adjusted the webcam before picking up a sewing kit and some cloth.
The audience was stunned. ¡°What? What¡¯s going on?! Is this what he meant by clothing? He¡¯s going to sew?!?¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s fans were working themselves into a frenzy. Without answering any questions, Best Actor Fu threaded a needle while looking at a pre-cut pet suit.
Not long after the guide dog incident, Fu Sichen was trending on Weibo again.
This time, it was for the search query, ¡°Best Actor Fu, Clothing.¡±
A lot of people were tricked into clicking this click-baity title. Then, they realized that it was just a video of Fu Sichen sewing a pet suit for his cat.
Wang Youquan almost passed out. This time, he didn¡¯t even bother calling Fu Sichen on the phone. He went straight to Fu Sichen¡¯s apartment and banged loudly on the door. ¡°Fu Sichen, open the door! If you have the guts to stream yourself sewing, then have the guts to open your door!¡±
As if sewing on live broadcast wasn¡¯t bad enough, Fu Sichen was silent throughout the entire livestream! He ignored his audience and had zero interaction with them!
Sloppy! Dodgy! Totally irresponsible!
Even though Wang Youquan had always been a civilized manager, he still couldn¡¯t help himself from letting out a few profanities. He rolled his sleeves up in preparation to rip Fu Sichen a new one.
Oh, and yes. Wang Youquan had even seriously reflected. When had the highly acimed and well behaved Best Actor Fu be so rebellious? He just couldn¡¯t figure it out. In the end, with a sound p on his thighs¡
He realized that it was all because of the Persian cat. What a fox!
Hence, when Fu Sichen finally opened the door impatiently, Wang Youquan¡¯s first words were, ¡°Fu Sichen, I think that you shouldn¡¯t own a cat anymore.¡±
Hearing this, Pei Zhen was ecstatic. If he could, he would be pping and cheering! He raised both of his hands and feet in agreement with Wang Youquan¡¯s words!
Wang Youquan continued, ¡°Seriously. If you don¡¯t send the cat away, we¡¯re doomed. Fu Sichen, I have to make this clear now¡ª it¡¯s either me or the cat!¡±
Wang Youquan¡¯s face was full of bitterness. He looked like a young wife whose husband had betrayed her, the picture of grievance and anger. Fu Sichen put on a serious expression, ¡°Wang Youquan, have you forgotten to take your medicine again?¡±
Was his manager going crazy?
Why was Wang Youquan so dramatic all the time?!
¡°No, that¡¯s not it.¡± Wang Youquan was deeply saddened by Fu Sichen¡¯s reaction. He followed Fu Sichen into the living room. He said bitterly, ¡°Fu Sichen, even if you don¡¯t give a damn about how your fans feel, you should still think about your advertising deals and how your sponsors feel.¡±
Fu Sichen was really born to be a star.
However, he never interacted or flirted with fans during his live broadcasts¡ª this put pressure on the live broadcast station. They felt that if Fu Sichen interacted with his fans just a bit more, then their station would receive a lot more traffic!
Fu Sichen snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t push me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll just cancel the contracts right now.¡±
Fu Sichen was rich. He didn¡¯t really care about paying penalty fees.
Wang Youquan softened, ¡°It¡¯s not that¡¡±
Before he could finish, Fu Sichen interrupted him by saying, ¡°It¡¯s good that you came. I need you to visit an animal shelter for me.¡±
What was he saying now?
Donating pet clothes?
Fu Sichen wanted to donate the pet suits that Xiao Nian had purchased for Pei Zhen.

Chapter 40: Pei Pei is My Pei Pei
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Wang Youquan suddenly felt like Fu Sichen had gone crazy.
He didn¡¯t understand why Fu Sichen wanted to donate the brand-new pet suit.
¡°Pei Pei is mine, so how can he wear the pet clothes that another man bought for him?¡± Fu Sichen said this as if it was obvious. He even stripped the Persian cat of the pet suit he was wearing to forcefully dress him in the one that he had sewn himself.
Pei Zhen was too exhausted to protest.
If he could beat up Fu Sichen, then he¡¯d make sure that Fu Sichen regretted ever being born!
¡°Why do you keep struggling?¡± The Persian cat was wriggling nonstop in Fu Sichen¡¯s arms. Fu Sichen¡¯s expression turned icy because he thought that the cat was too attached to the old pet suit. ¡°You like being a Little Fairy Girl that much? Fine. Then from now on, you have to wear it every day.¡±
Pei Zhen was infuriated.
He didn¡¯t!
After he realized that ¡°Little Fairy Girl¡± was embroidered on the back of the suit, he never wore it again!
Pei Zhen wanted to curse and swear in shame. He turned his head around to try and bite Fu Sichen. But, Fu Sichen restrained the cat and tightened his grip with a quick downward motion of his hands.
¡°Move. Just try and move again.¡± Fu Sichen gave a coldugh and came closer, ¡°The more you struggle, the tighter I¡¯ll grip.¡±
His deep voice had an indescribable allure, a mixture of something coarse and seductive.
Pei Zhen kept silent.
Not only did this feel strange, it also felt terribly wrong.
The more that Pei Zhen thought about it, the faster his heart beat. Not only that, but his cheeks also felt flushed.
Fu Sichen had no idea what Pei Zhen was thinking. After he saw that the cat was starting to behave, he softened his tone and straightened out the suit that he had sewn. ¡°Look at this! I¡¯m really good at sewing. You¡¯ll be morefortable if you wear this.¡±
Pei Zhen still kept silent.
He didn¡¯t know if it was on purpose, but Fu Sichen¡¯s words always had double meanings. Even though Fu Sichen had such a deceptively decent face, he always managed to trick Pei Zhen.
But, Fu Sichen really was smart.
From a young age, Pei Zhen already knew about the Genius Fu from the ss next door. He was so talented that it seemed like there was nothing that he didn¡¯t know how to do.
From cooking, to repairing electrical devices, to studying¡ to even sewing.
After putting on the pet suit unwillingly, Pei Zhen tried hard to resist looking at himself in the mirror. Of course, he failed and ended up taking a nce.
Was it an illusion? Pei Zhen felt like he had somehow be even more handsome than before. The suit even had the words, ¡°Big Handsome Hunk¡± stitched on it. These words sessfully won over his heart!
¡°Impressive.¡± Wang Youquan, who was standing in a corner, eximed, ¡°Fu Sichen, when on earth did you learn how to sew?¡±
Fu Sichen replied, ¡°This is called natural talent. It¡¯s not something you can just learn.¡±
How annoying.
Wang Youquan felt Fu Sichen¡¯s condescension once again. It knocked the air out of his lungs, and Fu Sichen simply snorted at him in contempt.
Bullsh*t.
What did he mean, natural talent. That was all a bunch of nonsense.
Normally, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t like to think about the past.
When they were in high school, he and Fu Sichen were in the same school.
When Pei Zhen was in the first year of high school, the school let the seniors organize the celebrations for Chinese New Year. It was supposed to be a fun activity to help third year students relieve their stress.
Fu Sichen¡¯s ss had to perform Sleeping Beauty, a very traditional y.
As expected, Fu Sichen was given the role of the prince. The surprising part was that Fu Sichen had sewn the costumes for the prince and the princess all by himself!
Genius Fu was hopeless at sewing. His hands ended up being swollen because of all of the needle pricks. In the end, the costume for the princess was too big.
The other studentsmented that they should either buy a costume online, or that they should change the person ying the role of the princess.
The girl ying the role of the princess said with teary eyes, ¡°It¡¯s okay! No matter how ill-fitting the dress is, I¡¯ll wear it!¡±
However, Genius Fu insisted on his choice. He said, ¡°I know someone that can fit into this dress.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
B*stard.
Thinking about the past was so upsetting, that Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but curse and swear.
Wearing the princess costume and wig had left a big mark on Pei Zhen¡¯s life. This was especially true after the y ended because people had started asking for the princess¡¯s contact information!
Even the ssmates that hadn¡¯t been involved in the production were unaware of who yed the role of the princess because the details of the y had been kept secret.
¡°It was love at first sight! Genius Fu, was that your sister? Please hook us up!¡±
Pei Zhen ended up identally hearing a male ssmate say this while looking for Fu Sichen.
This was all Fu Sichen¡¯s fault!
Fu Sichen had insisted that he y the role of Sleeping Beauty!
Pei Zhen took a long breath as he thought about this. He turned his back to Fu Sichen.
¡°How despicable! Even if you call me a Big Handsome Hunk, I still won¡¯t forgive you!¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t like to remember his past, but Fu Sichen always seemed to end up pushing all the wrong buttons. He would inevitably be reminded of things that happened when they were younger.
Fu Sichen waited for Wang Youquan to leave the apartment to donate pet clothes before carrying Pei Zhen in front of theputer.
¡°Come, let¡¯s have a look at your gorgeous Daddy.¡±
Fu Sichen opened up a video file, and clicked on it. The prelude was familiar¡ª it was the opening to Sleeping Beauty. But right after that, a young boy wearing a princess costume appeared on the screen. The young boy¡¯s face was very familiar.
Pei Zhen was horrified.
Cr*p!
Don¡¯t hold him back!
This time he was really going to kill someone!
What ulterior motive did Fu Sichen have by keeping evidence of his dark past?!
This was the first time that he ever cross-dressed. Even if Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to watch or listen, Fu Sichen still narrated every second to him.
¡°He really didn¡¯t want to do it.¡±
¡°He¡¯s so good-looking. He also looked good when he was wearing this.¡±
¡°At that time, I was ying the role of the prince. There was even a kissing scene in the y¡¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s voice suddenly broke as he said this.
In his mind, Pei Zhen was screaming ¡°I¡¯m not listening to this! No way!¡± Suddenly, he stopped and turned white, as if remembering something horrific.
In thest scene, the love-struck prince kissed the princess to wake her up.
In the beginning, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t ept this. Fu Sichen ended up provoking him by saying, ¡°So you¡¯re scared of a kiss? I thought that Pei Zhen was afraid of nothing! Or was that all just a lie?¡±
¡°Who said that I was scared?!¡±
No one could provoke Pei Zhen like Genius Fu Sichen could. If there was anyone that Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to be defeated by, it was him!
That year, Pei Zhen, dressed in the princess costume, grabbed Fu Sichen by his shirt and kissed him in the heat of the moment.
Even though the words that the delicate youth spoke were harsh, his eyes were still tightly shut; even though his bones were tough, his lips were still gentle and soft.
There was a loud crash.
Fu Sichen¡¯s sudden movement caused the chair to tip and fall.
The sharp sound caused Pei Zhen to snap out of his train of thought. He barely had time to feel ashamed before Fu Sichen released him, snatched up his car keys, and headed for the door. ¡°Stay at home and wait for me toe back.¡±
Pei Zhen was bbergasted.
It gave Pei Zhen a bad feeling to see Fu Sichen in such a fluster. The cat turned and ran towards Fu Sichen, ¡°Hey, what are you doing?!¡±
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t understand his meowing, but he still muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m going to wake up your Daddy Pei!¡±
¡°What?! How are you going to wake me up? With a kiss?!?! That¡¯s the stuff of fairytales! Get real!¡±
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t believe what this man was thinking!
Pei Zhen wanted to follow him, but Fu Sichen was too fast. He almost had his nose caught in by the shutting door!
¡°Fu. Si. Chen!¡±
Pei Zhen scratched at the door desperately. Thankfully, Fu Sichen heard the noise and quickly returned.
The door opened. Fu Sichen scooped up the frantic cat, ¡°You want to see your Daddy Pei wake up too? Okay.¡±
¡°You¡¯re full of sh*t! You idiot!¡± The cat yelled.

When Xiao Nian arrived, he saw Fu Sichen and the cat engaged in a game of tug-of-war.
Fu Sichen wanted to keep walking, but the cat refused. He bit Fu Sichen¡¯s trousers and was tugging in the other direction.
¡°You don¡¯t want to go with me?¡± Fu Sichen said with a faint expression on his face. ¡°Stay at home if you don¡¯t want to go.¡±
He bent over to pry the Persian cat away, but the cat was too agile. The cat slipped out of Fu Sichen¡¯s grasp before turning around to bite him.
¡°Tsk.¡±
Xiao Nian coughed twice, embarrassed by what he was seeing. He tried to make his presence known, ¡°Best Actor Fu, where are you heading off to?¡±
Fu Sichen acknowledged Xiao Nian¡¯s presence by replying, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡±
Xiao Nian shrugged.
He didn¡¯t have much of a choice. His artiste Pei Zhen was now at the mercy of Fu Sichen. Xiao Nian told himself to be the bigger person and to exercise tolerance. He forced himself to put a pleasing smile on his face, ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with your cat. You know, Best Actor Fu, most pets stop their owners from leaving because they have ominous premonitions.¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s expression was serious, but Fu Sichen onlyughed cynically in response. ¡°What the hell are you talking about?¡±
¡°I¡¯m telling the truth!¡± Xiao Nian continued, feeling a little hurt, ¡°At least, that¡¯s what happens in movies.¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t say anything in response.
He shot Xiao Nian a look of derision. In any case, he had decided not to go out anymore. Fu Sichen bent over to pick up the cat, ¡°Okay, okay. Stop biting me. I¡¯m not going out anymore.¡±
After sessfully foiling Fu Sichen¡¯s n to wake up his body with a kiss, Pei Zhen the cat was almost moved to tears.
The Persian cat, of course, cooperated fully after hearing that they were going back to the apartment. On the other hand, Xiao Nian was left standing next to the front door with a big smile on his face until Fu Sichen let him in.
¡°Sit down, and don¡¯t touch the cat.¡±
Pei Zhen had bitten a hole in Fu Sichen¡¯s pants. Before going into his room to change, he didn¡¯t forget to leave Xiao Nian with a stern warning.
¡°Yes, Best Actor. Understood, Best Actor.¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s had a big smile on his face. He kept bowing while sending Fu Sichen off to his bedroom. But as soon as the bedroom door shut, his smile disappeared.
¡°Oh my big Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian turned around and hugged the cat. He said while crying, ¡°I¡¯m begging you! Turn into a human again!¡±
Daddy Pei Zhen felt as though all of the air was squeezed out of him. He waved Xiao Nian away with his paw. He opened his eyes wide, in an effort tomunicate just how much he wanted to be human again.
At this point, Pei Zhen was extremely frustrated.
This whole kissing business¡ª even though he had seeded in foiling Fu Sichen¡¯s attempt today, he knew that he wouldn¡¯t necessarily be able to do it the next time it happened.
Xiao Nian cupped his face with his hands and shook his head.
Pei Zhen tried his best to keep calm. [Do you have any leads?]
Xiao Nian shook his head, his face still cupped in his hands.
By now, Pei Zhen really wanted to give him a vicious scratch. [Damn it! Hurry up and continue the search then! Why did youe here! Are you trying to rub it in or something?!?!]
¡°No.¡± Afraid that Pei Zhen would misunderstand, Xiao Nian quickly exined, ¡°I already asked someone to help me find a shaman. The reason why I¡¯m here today is because of an urgent situation.¡±
Pei Zhen looked up at Xiao Nian, impatiently waiting for Xiao Nian to continue.
¡°The thing is, I married ady online ying the game Sword of the Immortals.¡± Xiao Nian put on a coy look, ¡°I even gave her my word that I¡¯d kill the beast on the Cliff of Forgotten Love as a wedding gift. But, Pei Pei, you know how bad my gaming skills are.¡±
Oh, so he was looking for someone to y for him.
Pei Pei smiled sweetly at Xiao Nian before raising his hind legs to give Xiao Nian a ruthless kick!
What!? Was he not pitiful enough or something? His stupid manager was really asking for a beating!

As he was leaving his room, Fu Sichen saw his Persian cat kicking Xiao Nian as if he was riding a bicycle.
This scene made him feel strangely satisfied.
¡°That girl is a shaman in real life.¡± Xiao Nian howled pitifully, ¡°She¡¯s also somewhat of a geomancer. She¡¯s a part-immortal, so the fact that you turned into a¡¡±
¡°Meow!¡±
Pei Zhen panicked because Xiao Nian almost spilled the beans, and immediately let out a roar. Even though it was just a meow, it still sounded rather startling.
Xiao Nian was stunned by the realization of what he almost said. He looked behind him to see that Fu Sichen had alreadye out of his room.
A bead of sweat rolled down Xiao Nian¡¯s forehead, ¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu.¡±
¡°Shaman?¡± Fu Sichen said, rather confused. ¡°Who the hell is a part-immortal?¡±
¡°Hahaha. Nothing. Nothing. I was just babbling.¡± Xiao Nian sniggered twice, before changing the topic to some unrted matters. The topic finally fell on Pei Zhen, ¡°Best Actor Fu, you¡¯ve really trained your cat well. Every time he sees me, he kicks me.¡±
¡°Sorry, but every time I see Fu Sichen,¡± thought the Persian cat, ¡°Not only do I want to kick him, but I also want to bite him to death.¡±
Unlike Pei Zhen, Xiao Nian was considerably sessful when it came to sucking up to Fu Sichen.
Even though Fu Sichen kept a nk face, it was obvious that his attitude towards Xiao Nian had softened. He walked towards the Persian cat before scooping him into his embrace like a mother hen.
¡°He behaves like that because he likes me.¡±
Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian knew better.
Fu Sichen chose not to see the Persian cat¡¯s resistance, so Xiao Nian didn¡¯t want to say anything to the contrary. At this point, he was even going to throw away his pride for his online game.
Because Pei Zhen was currently incapacitated, he was going to beg Fu Sichen for help instead.
Not to mention, Fu Sichen was the spokesperson for this game.
Xiao Nian purposefully reminded Fu Sichen of his uing work schedule.
The game Sword of the Immortals had a new versioning out soon; as the spokesperson for the game, Fu Sichen was supposed to be in the new trailer.
The filming was going to be a little troublesome because they needed to travel to another city.
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t a bachelor anymore; he had a family now ¨C his cat.
¡°Best Actor Fu?¡± Xiao Nian called out cautiously, seeing that Fu Sichen was lost in his thoughts, ¡°Is this beast difficult to kill?¡±
¡°No,¡± said Fu Sichen.
Fu Sichen looked down at the game interface. While he was waiting for the game to load, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Are pets allowed on nes?¡±
Xiao Nian smiled and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
Haha. If he couldn¡¯t bring his pet with him on the ne, then Pei Zhen would need someone else to take care of him. That person would be me!
Pei Zhen realized what Xiao Nian was nning after listening on the side. He looked at his manager gratefully. Xiao Nian¡¯s ce in his heart suddenly grew by leaps and bounds, and he seemed incredibly dashing at that moment!
¡°Tsk.¡± Pei Zhen had barely finishedmenting before he saw Fu Sichen click on the special power icon and start attacking the beast. He heard Fu Sichen say, ¡°Then I guess I have to travel in my private jet.¡±
What the f*ck.
Cr*p! Cr*p! Cr*p!
So what if you¡¯re rich?!
Pei Zhen really wanted to p Fu Sichen, that evil b*stard! Why did he treat a cat so well?! Did he have also have some sort of cat fetish?!
Xiao Nian was also at aplete loss.
To be honest, the world of rich people was hard to understand. For example, Fu Sichen normally didn¡¯t even let women on his private jet. But now, he seemed to have no bottom line when it came to his pet?! Why did his behavior seem so abnormal?!
¡°This¡ this might not be the best thing to do.¡± Xiao Nian noticed Pei Zhen trying to signal something at him. He tried his luck again, ¡°Some pets get really nervous if they have to leave an environment that they¡¯re familiar with. Some even get depressed because of it!¡±
¡°Thanks for reminding me.¡± Fu Sichen said without even looking up, as he skillfully maneuvered the character in the game, ¡°The ce that he¡¯s most familiar with is my embrace.¡±

Just sleeping in the same bed as Fu Sichen made Pei Zhen feel as though he had somehow lost his innocence¡ª even if they hadn¡¯t done anything.
When he heard the word ¡°embrace,¡± Xiao Nian was so shocked that he almost let out a piercing scream.
Fu Sichen was an impably suave person, both in real life and in the game. Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t find any wiggle room. Fu Sichen finished killing the beast and tossed the phone back to Xiao Nian.
¡°Be careful when ites to online dating.¡±
The ¡°little sister¡± that you married in the game, might have an even bigger d*ck hiding beneath her pretty little dress.
Of course, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t say thatst sentence out loud. He already warned Xiao Nian, so the rest was up to him.
Xiao Nian was still thinking about Fu Sichen¡¯s earlier words. When Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t paying attention, he looked at the Persian cat with tears in his eyes. Heined, ¡°Pei Zhen! I thought we agreed that we¡¯d only have each other! But, you secretly lost your virginity without me!¡±
Lost my virginity, my *ss!
Pei Zhen wanted to hit Xiao Nian.
[What¡¯s wrong with you!] Pei Zhen started furiously typing away on the cell phone, unable to suppress his anger over Xiao Nian¡¯s strange spections. [That pervert Fu Sichen only carried me onto his bed when I was unconscious!]
¡°Oh¡¡± Xiao Nian said with an ambiguous expression.
Pei Zhen shut up petntly.
Nevermind. He was too tired to exin. There were more important things to do.
After hesitating for a while, Pei Zhen finally confronted him again. [Xiao Nian, I feel like Fu Sichen might be a necrophiliac.]
Pei Zhen the cat was already too tired to put up a struggle when it came to Fu Sichen manhandling him every time it was time for a bath. He didn¡¯t really care about his cat body¡¯s chastity anymore.
At this point, he was more worried about protecting his human body¡¯s chastity!
[Xiao Nian, call the police. Policemen are the only people that can make me feel secure now.]
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t how to respond.
He couldn¡¯t just file a police report¡ª not only was there no proof, but the police also wouldn¡¯t bother with such a small case. Not to mention, Xiao Nian himself was unconvinced.
¡°Pei Zhen, you¡¯re overthinking things. Even if Best Actor Fu has a corpse fetish, he wouldn¡¯t like your corpse. He¡¯d only like female ones with big boobs and firm butts.¡±
In the past, some tabloids had reported about a male fan that tried to hug Best Actor Fu. As a result, Best Actor Fu had almost beaten the guy to death.
If a simple hug could cause such a huge reaction, then what would happen if it was something more intimate?
¡°My dear Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian tried to be as understanding as he could about Pei Zhen¡¯s fears, while also exining logically, ¡°I know that you¡¯re really good-looking, but we need to have some more self-awareness. A person like Fu Sichen¡ª he¡¯s okay with female fans, but when ites to male ones¡¡±
Pei Zhen red at Xiao Nian and refused to speak any further.
If it wasn¡¯t for his pride, then he would tell Xiao Nian about the whole Sleeping Beauty kissing fiasco!
If he knew what Fu Sichen was capable of, then this lowlymoner Xiao Nian would be shocked senseless.
It was in to see that his good looks were so powerful that even his enemy¡¯s heart had been conquered!
In any case, Fu Sichen was going to leave town for work; therefore, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take care of Pei Zhen the human. He took slightfort in this.
The day of the filming, Wang Youquan came to pick up Fu Sichen early in the morning.
Fu Sichen had to do a photo shoot for a magazine cover before flying to An Ning City in the neighboring province. There was going to hold a publicity event for the game there.
Despite his tight schedule, Fu Sichen still brought Pei Zhen the cat with him.
¡°It¡¯ll be fine.¡± Fu Sichen had his suitcase in one hand and his cat in the other. Wang Youquan feltpelled to ask, ¡°Are you sure he won¡¯t disturb you when you¡¯re filming?¡±
With one hand, Fu Sichen handsomely lifted up his suitcase into the back of the car; It was really hard not to notice his good looks, ¡°He¡¯s not a disturbance at all. He¡¯s such a well-behaved cat.¡±
When he was sleeping, the Persian cat was definitely as well-behaved as Fu Sichen described. However, when the cat was awake¡ Wang Youquan doubted he and Fu Sichen were talking about the same cat. He still had the scratches on his arms to prove it!
¡°Just take it easy and remember to be careful.¡± Wang Youquan reminded him, ¡°The Chief Editor¡¯s beloved fish are going to be at the studio too.¡±
Chapter 45 - One Testicle per Fish
Chapter 45: One Testicle per Fish
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Qian Du was one of the most popr fashion magazines in the country.
The Chief Editor had a sharp eye, and a personality to match.
Of course, this meant that scores of people were dying to be featured in the magazine. To Best Actor Fu, getting a contract was a breeze.
Even though Fu Sichen had a big presence, he also had a small temper.
He was neverte, never dyed shooting, and never acted spoiled. This led to his excellent reputation for professionalism in the industry. People mored to have contracts with him.
But this time, the highly professional and polite Fu Sichen brought along a cat.
The snow white Persian cat wore a ck cat suit with the words ¡°Big Handsome Hunk¡± embroidered on the back. He nestledzily in Best Actor Fu¡¯s arms.
This was also the first time that the Persian cat was so agreeable when it came to being carried. The truth was that the cat was sleepy, so he didn¡¯t have any energy to cause a scene.
¡°Best Actor Fu, this cat¡¡± The staff at the publishingpany nced at the cat with a troubled expression, ¡°He¡¯s very cute and all, but¡¡±
His boss had pet fish!
Recently, the fish had been looking ill. This made Chief Editor Zhang worried sick. If something happened to the fish, Chief Editor Zhang would definitely go crazy.
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Fu Sichen insisted, ¡°Even though my cat likes to eat fish, he doesn¡¯t like to eat sashimi.¡±
The staff didn¡¯t know what to think.
What kind of logic was this? How could a cat differentiate between cooked and raw fish? He might as well say that his cat was afraid of rats!
If Fu Sichen had known what the staff was thinking, then he would definitely give him a prize.
Congrattions for guessing correctly. My cat really is afraid of rats.
Fu Sichen ced the cat down on the sofa with great care. He ignored all of the strange stares, and covered the cat with a nket.
Wang Youquan rolled his eyes at the sight.
Fu Sichen was crazy!
He treated the cat like a human¡ No¡ Not even a human would get this kind of treatment from Fu Sichen!
¡°The shoot will be over soon.¡± Before leaving to get ready for the shoot, Fu Sichen whispered quietly to the cat, ¡°Behave yourself, and I¡¯ll take you to eat breakfast soon.¡±
Then, with his hand sliding down from the Persian cat¡¯s neck to his underbelly, he added, ¡°Don¡¯t touch the fish¡ otherwise, it¡¯s one testicle per fish.¡±
Pei Zhen the cat had been pretending to be asleep.
But when he heard that, his whole body stiffened up. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Fu Sichen in horror.
This b*stard¡
Pei Zhen would never let go of any opportunity to get Fu Sichen into trouble.
Even if he didn¡¯t like eating raw fish, he could still manage to wreak havoc.
But now, Fu Sichen was threatening him with castration. Pei Zhen was definitely not going to put his manhood at risk just for a prank.
Damn it!
He gave Fu Sichen a long and nasty look before raising his paws with his ws extended. He turned around angrily with his back facing Fu Sichen. His fur was all puffed up, and every cell in his body screamed, ¡°Go away!¡±
Fu Sichen smiled briefly before straightening up to walk towards the staff. ¡°Let¡¯s start. I have to catch a flight at 11 am.¡±
¡°Sure, sure. Best Actor Fu, let¡¯s do your makeup.¡±
The studio was busy because of all the people walking around and talking. Even though he was tired, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t fall back to sleep anymore.
Not to mention, Pei Zhen heard someone moan somewhere in the background.
¡°This feels awful.¡±
¡°I can hardly breathe.¡±
¡°Oh oh, who am I? Where am I?¡±
It was a small voice and could barely be heard.
It also probably didn¡¯te from a human.
If it wasn¡¯t human¡ then was it a ghost?
Pei Zhen ended up scaring himself, so he quickly tried to calm down. He looked around beforeing to the conclusion that the noise wasing from the fish tank.
He stopped pretending that he was asleep.
Pei Zhen jumped down from the sofa and ran towards the fish tank.

Chapter 46: Fish Only Had a Seven Second Memory
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°The Chief Editor is on his way.¡± The studio staff was telling Fu Sichen, ¡°Best Actor Fu, you can try to get a feel for the shoot while you¡¯re waiting.¡±
Manager Wang Youquan was also busymunicating with the photographer and setting up props; he needed to make sure that the shoot went smoothly.
The wardrobe assistant and makeup artist were busy fussing around Fu Sichen, trying to suppress their fanatic screams. They put his make-up on with trembling hands.
Nobody saw the Persian cat jump off the sofa, much less noticed that he had walked up to the fish tank.
There were around six or seven goldfish in the tank. They were colorful, but didn¡¯t seem to be in the best of health¡ª they weren¡¯t moving a lot, and looked like they were about to die any minute now.
Pei Zhen leapt onto the table and sat in front of the fish tank for a while before the goldfish even realized that he was there.
¡°Ahhhhhh¡ cat! It¡¯s a cat!¡±
¡°Why is there a cat here?!¡±
¡°Oh no, is he going to eat us?¡±
Finally, the fish in the tank started to move. It seemed like they were in a panic; they already started to create a little whirlpool from moving around so much.
Pei Zhen looked on quietly.
He rolled his eyes and thought he¡¯d try tomunicate, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in eating you.¡±
The fish started to squeal again, ¡°Good heavens! The fat cat is trying to trick us!¡±
Pei Zhen was annoyed.
Fat? How was he fat! Even as a cat, his body met the golden ratio standard!
¡°Stop talking nonsense.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they were sick, he wouldn¡¯t have even bothered talking with these stupid fish, ¡°Are you having problems breathing?¡±
What a miracle!
A cat was concerned for fish.
The goldfish felt ttered by the cat¡¯s concern over their well being. They huddled together, trembling, and stared back at the cat.
Pei Zhen got impatient, ¡°Damn it. Can somebody tell me what the problem is?¡±
Before Pei Zhen could finish, the fish got frightened and started screaming again.
¡°Ahhhhhh¡ cat! It¡¯s a cat!¡±
¡°Why is there a cat here?!¡±
¡°Oh no, is he going to eat us?¡±
It was the same conversation, with the same actions all over again. Even the way they swam around the fish tank was exactly the same. The school of fish struggled, swam around, before grouping together once more.
¡°Hey, so you guys¡.¡± Pei Zhen said.
¡°Ahhhhhh¡ cat! It¡¯s a cat!¡±
¡°Why is there a cat here?!¡±
¡°Oh no, is he going to eat us?¡±
Not again.
The fish were screaming so loudly that Pei Zhen got a headache.
Then, he finally remembered¡ª fish only had a seven second memory. They didn¡¯t have the capacity to store memories in their brains, so he couldn¡¯tmunicate with them normally.
When the water in the fish tank was stirred up, the fish seemed to breathe more easily. They looked healthier and more alive.
Pei Zhen had never owned any fish, so he didn¡¯t really understand what was going on.
However, he had always been a perceptive person. He felt like he needed to stir up the water in order to save the fish. Rather than waste his time trying tomunicate with the silly fish, Pei Zhen simply stuck his paw into the water and started to ssh around the tank.
¡°Arghhhhhh!¡±
There was another shrill cry.
This time it wasn¡¯t made by the fish¡ª it was made by a human.
The sound of high heels hitting the floor quickly followed, and Pei Zhen was stunned for a while. He turned around to see ady dressed in a suit rushing madly towards him, ¡°My fishies!¡±
Thedy was fast; she arrived in a sh. She stretched out her hands to try and grab Pei Zhen. Fortunately, Pei Zhen was quick. He shrunk back, retracted his ws, and dodged.
¡°Zhang¡ Chief Editor Zhang?!¡±
By this point, the studio staff had noticed what was going on. They saw the cat jumping away from the fish tank, and their hearts pounded nervously.
Oh no.
This cat was definitely going to be in trouble.
Chief Editor Zhang really loved her pet fish. She quickly checked up on them to make sure they were all safe before turning around to re at her staff, ¡°Whose cat is this?!¡±
She would skin him alive!

Chapter 47: This Cat Was a Vixen
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Best Actor Fu promised that his cat wouldn¡¯t do anything to the fish.
In the end, he had to eat his own words.
Chief Editor Zhang¡¯s anger was reasonable, given the fact that her beloved pets had been bullied.
The only issue was that the culprit was Best Actor Fu¡¯s cat. The studio staff all looked at each other nervously, nobody brave enough to speak up.
Wang Youquan had just been chattering away happily with the set coordinator a few seconds ago, until he realized how cold the atmosphere had be. Trembling, he turned to look at Fu Sichen.
What do we do now?
He told Fu Sichen already¡ª this cat was a vixen! He told Fu Sichen not to keep the cat, but Best Actor Fu just kept spoiling him!
Everything was over now. They could say good-bye to this contract. Best Actor Fu was going to lose yet another stream of ie.
Wang Youquan quickly seized the opportunity to make a round of apologies to the staff. But before he could say anything, Fu Sichen spoke.
¡°Pei Pei,e here.¡±
He was outrightly admitting that he was the owner of the Persian cat!
Pei Zhen nimbly jumped onto the coffee table, before taking another leap into Fu Sichen¡¯s arms, crawling onto his shoulder, and then resting on his head.
His paws were still wet, so the moment he crawled onto Fu Sichen¡¯s head, Fu Sichen¡¯s carefully styled hair was messed up.
The studio staff were all stunned.
¡°Get down.¡± Best Actor Fu clicked his tongue lightly; there was no change in his expression. But, his tone carried a measure of fondness. ¡°Good boy.¡±
Pei Zhen snorted disdainfully, but didn¡¯t refuse Fu Sichen¡¯s order. He awkwardly jumped from Fu Sichen¡¯s head to his shoulder.
Chief Editor Zhang stared wide-eyed at Fu Sichen, ¡°Best Actor Fu, is this your cat?¡±
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t resist rubbing the cat¡¯s head before retorting, ¡°You¡¯re scaring my cat.¡±
Excuse me? Wasn¡¯t his cat was the one who was bullying her fishies?
Chief Editor Zhang was stunned. After she recovered, she felt herself getting more and more angry. She even wanted to curse a few times. Wang Youquan was horrified. He walked up to Fu Sichen and tugged at his sleeves, ¡°Fu Sichen, are you out of your mind?! How can you talk like this to the Chief Editor?! Hurry up and apologize.¡±
¡°Why do I need to apologize?¡± Fu Sichen moved his gaze from Chief Editor Zhang to the fish tank behind her. ¡°Haven¡¯t you realized that the fish are a lot livelier now? Chief Editor Zhang, this is all because of Pei Pei.¡±
What the f*ck is this man talking about.
The only person in the world who could pull off bullsh*t like this was Fu Sichen.
However, the people in the studio felt like he might actually be telling the truth¡ª the fish looked a lot healthier now.
They were swimming around the tank.
They were even eating fish food.
¡°Oh no!¡± Before anyone could say anything, the assistant standing behind Chief Editor Zhang eximed, ¡°I forgot to aerate the water!¡±
Anyone that¡¯s ever owned goldfish knows how important it is to constantly aerate the water.
This is especially true in the summer; goldfish need an extra boost of oxygen during this time, so an aerated tank can determine whether or not a fish lives or dies.
These goldfish were quitezy normally, so they never really swam around a lot. However, when the oxygen level in the tank started to drop, they started to have difficulty breathing. That was why they lost their appetite and acted lethargic.
¡°There¡¯s a fine line between life and death.¡± After Fu Sichen knew the details of the situation, he started praising his Persian cat even more. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Pei Pei, Chief Editor Zhang¡¯s fish would probably be dead by now.¡±
Pei Zhen was left aghast at how shameless Fu Sichen could be. Living like this was worse than death!
Even though Chief Editor Zhang was happy that her goldfish were safe and sound, the situation was still rather embarrassing.
Chief Editor Zhang red at her careless assistant. However, she was both a gracious and flexible person. She didn¡¯t really have a problem with a bit of give-and-take, ¡°Best Actor Fu, I owe you an apology. Your cat really is smart!¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s lips curled upwards into a slight smile.
¡°Oh, actually, this cat is quite handsome.¡± Chief Editor Zhang looked over Pei Zhen a few times; he was growing on her. ¡°Best Actor Fu, why don¡¯t we do a cover shoot with the both of you?¡±
¡°What?¡± Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t believe his ears, ¡°You want the cat on the cover too?¡±
Chief Editor Zhang waved her hand in a show of generosity, ¡°Yes. Please don¡¯t act so formal and uptight with me. We do things a bit more casually around here.¡±
Chapter 48 - This Cat… Has Become Immortal!
Chapter 48: This Cat¡ Has Be Immortal!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Chief Editor Zhang had a remarkable personality; she was quite the character.
Surprisingly, her remarkable personality still shined through even when she cursed.
The Persian cat got the opportunity to be featured on the cover a little too easily. After his initial shock, Wang Youquan was also extremely jealous.
Celebrities would fight tooth and nail to be on the cover of this magazine. But all this cat did was dip his paws in a fish tank!
However, Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t pleased at all with this arrangement.
No matter what, he was still an A-list celebrity. They hadn¡¯t even asked his manager, Xiao Nian, if it was okay to do a free shoot!
Not to mention, he had to share the stage with Fu Sichen, his sworn rival!
Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t in the mood to do any kind of modeling.
Without waiting for a response, he used his hind legs to leap off Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder, andnded expertly on the sofa..
He lifted the nket,id himself down, and stuffed himself inside. It seemed like he was extremely used to doing this, like he¡¯d done it a million times in the past.
¡°This cat¡ has be immortal!¡±
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Fu Sichen was more calm and collected inparison; he was more concerned about finishing the shoot. He tried to persuade the cat, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s take a photo together.¡±
Pei Zhen was adamant when it came to ignoring Fu Sichen. He extended his ws and disappeared into the nket.
His bodynguage was clear¡ª he didn¡¯t want to be in the same photograph as Fu Sichen. However, Fu Sichen insisted on having his way.
He lifted the nket, once again exposing the cat in front of everybody. He walked up to the cat and put his face up close before sneering sarcastically at Pei Zhen, ¡°You¡¯re not afraid of getting neutered anymore?¡±
He¡¯s threatening me again! Pei Zhen widened his eyes and turned around in horror.
How despicable! How disgusting!
He¡¯s perverse! A veritable pervert!
This *sshole deserves to die!
¡°Wake up.¡± After Fu Sichen finally got the cat to respond, he softened his expression; he really was an excellent actor. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to eat a nice breakfast after the shoot.¡±
The lighting cast a mellow glow over the sofa. Fu Sichen had outstanding features and a gentle profile. With a little nket in his hands, he bent down on one knee with his attentionpletely focused on the white Persian cat.
The scene was unexpectedly heartwarming. The photographer couldn¡¯t resist the opportunity to take a few photographs, immortalizing that moment.
With Fu Sichen¡¯s hical threat looming over him, Pei Zhen the cat had no choice but to pose for pictures with his enemy.
The man and his cat were a surprisingly good-looking pair.
The cat was simr to the man, with cold eyes that always seemed to be full of disdain; his presence was no less powerful than Best Actor Fu¡¯s was.
¡°He¡¯s so cute and handsome.¡±
¡°I heard that this cat is a hero¡ª he saved a dog in the past.¡±
¡°He¡¯s super duper cute. How did Best Actor Fu manage to raise a cat like that?¡±
The studio staff were captivated by the cat¡¯s character and cuteness. They were so excited that they couldn¡¯t suppress their fanaticism.
They wanted to scream out of joy.
By now, they also wanted a pet cat!
Even the goldfish, who didn¡¯t have trouble breathing anymore, didn¡¯t want to be left out. They kept blubbering with each other, making all sorts of noise in the background.
¡°Is that cat a celebrity?¡±
¡°So cool.¡±
¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯ve seen this cat before¡¡±
¡°Is he the one that saved us?¡±
¡°Thank you, thank you so much.¡±
The goldfish, who had seven seconds of memory, had pieced together the story after hearing the studio staff talking about what happened. Because of this, they kept thanking the cat over and over again.
¡°Thank you.¡±
¡°Thank you so much.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
For some reason, the cat felt empathy for the fish. What kind of strange qualities had he ended up with? He feltpelled to reflect on life¡¯s great questions every now and again.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
If fish could talk, then fish would be the greatest philosophers of the animal world.
No matter how much Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to participate in the photo shoot, his acting training was too ingrained for him to purposefully perform badly. He and Fu Sichen coordinated with each other very well. They looked brilliant together, andpleted the shoot in no time.
After the shoot, everybody briefly exchanged pleasantries before Fu Sichen left with his cat. Then, Wang Youquan received a call, ¡°There was going to be a female celebrity starring in the trailer? Lin Yousu?¡±
Chapter 49 - There’s Something Wrong With This Cat
Chapter 49: There¡¯s Something Wrong With This Cat
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The name Lin Yousu rang a bell. It was vaguely familiar, but Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t remember where he had heard it before.
Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t the only one who was confused¡ª even Fu Sichen didn¡¯t recognize who the name belonged to. Fu Sichen frowned, before looking at the hopeful expression in Wang Youquan¡¯s eyes. He wanted to see if he could get a hint from his manager.
¡°Who¡¯s Lin Yousu?¡±
Wang Youquan almost fainted.
¡°It¡¯s that little fox¡¯s¡ Um¡ Pardon my French¡ The Persian cat¡¯s previous owner.¡± After feeling depressed for a little bit, Wang Youquan still did his job dutifully. ¡°Did you forget already? You basically demanded the Persian cat from her.¡±
Demanded¡?
Fu Sichen had to think hard before he vaguely recalled the incident. Okay, so he might have been a little stubborn¡
¡°Oh.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s voice sounded distant, ¡°Did they say how they wanted the game trailer to be filmed?¡±
Wang Youquan felt a little helpless, ¡°¡ They want to film you guys getting married.¡±
In the new update of Sword of the Immortals, besides giving yers various upgrades, there was also a new feature where yers could get married.
¡°It was supposed to attract more female gamers. Not only will you be able to get married, but you can also have kids,¡± said Wang Youquan as they boarded the private jet. He continued exining the game to Fu Sichen, ¡°The child would be randomly gifted by the system, and would be raised by the couple in the game.¡±
Fu Sichen wanted tough after hearing this, ¡°So what happens after they get divorced? Do they need to set up some kind of rule so that people don¡¯t argue when ites to dividing assets?¡±
¡°Um¡ about this¡ ¡± Wang Youquan coughed twice before leaning closer with a wink, ¡°I heard a rumor that Lin Yousu recently hooked up with the boss of the game developmentpany¡ That¡¯s why they added these new elements to the game.¡±
These kinds of things happened all the time in the entertainment industry.
However, Fu Sichen had never needed to use any of these unspoken rules. He had a good family background that helped pave the way for him.
Of course, it didn¡¯t matter whether or not people knew that he was the Vice President of hispany. The mere fact that he was Best Actor Fu, meant that people would always want to suck up to him.
Not to mention, he was easy on the eyes.
Fu Sichen looked away, not saying anything. He put his attention back on the Persian cat. He noticed that the cat had finishedpping up the milk, so he lovingly poured him some more.
The Persian cat refused to eat cat food.
Therefore, Fu Sichen let someone queue for steamed dumplings to serve as the cat¡¯s breakfast.
After finishing the steamed dumplings and the milk, the Persian cat was very content. He shut his eyes with a rxed expression, not realizing that the milk had left a funny-looking white mustache on his face..
Recently, Fu Sichen had been smiling a lot.
Even though he only lifted his lips a tiny amount, it still made him look fabulous. The unmistakable look of affection in his deep eyes was mesmerizing.
¡°Are you done?¡± Fu Sichen took out a handkerchief, and lightly wiped the cat¡¯s face. Then, he gave the cat¡¯s ears a gentle massage. He tapped the cat¡¯s pet suit before asking, ¡°Want to change into your pajamas?¡±
Other people would be able to touch their cats whenever they wanted. However, Fu Sichen¡¯s cat was different.
The Persian cat was strangely conservative; Fu Sichen was barely able toy his hands on him.
Fu Sichen lightly ran his fingertip along the pet suit and tried to pull down the zipper. The cat immediately got up and turned around to bite Fu Sichen angrily.
How tiresome.
Pei Zhen gave Fu Sichen a dirty look; he was extremely on his guard.
There was definitely something wrong with Fu Sichen. If not, why did he have ulterior motives towards a cat?
Pei Zhen decided to stay awake.
In order to protect his chastity, he had to stay alert at all times.
Pei Zhen jumped from the dining table to the television set. To Wang Youquan¡¯s surprise, not only was the cat able to turn the TV on, but he was also able to change the channel with a remote control.
Unlike a regr airne, you could connect to the inte on Fu Sichen¡¯s private jet.
Pei Zhen was obviously familiar with using a remote control. He selected a show that he had acted in when he was still a human because he wanted to reminisce about the past.
¡°Sichen,¡± Wang Youquan pulled his chair closer to Best Actor Fu before adding in a low voice, ¡°I think there¡¯s something wrong with this cat.¡±

Chapter 50: Come Pick Me Up! I Want to Elope With You!

Fu Sichen¡¯s cat was unlike any other cat. Not only did he like wearing clothes, but he also exclusively ate human food. Don¡¯t even get him started on how he stood up to pee!
¡°Seriously.¡± The more Wang Youquan thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. ¡°Sichen, this cat is way too smart to be normal.¡±
¡°You¡¯re right, he¡¯s definitely smarter than you,¡± replied Fu Sichen.
¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m¡¡± Wang Youquan stopped when he realized that Fu Sichen was insulting him. His heart quivered as he said, ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I¡¯m trying to say. Fu Sichen, why are you being so mean?¡±
Ever since his artiste had adopted this Persian cat, Wang Youquan had never stopped feeling like an afterthought. It was just like in ancient times, where concubines would be sent to the ¡°Cold Pce¡± whenever they lost favor with the Emperor. No, actually, it was even worse than being a concubine. He was more like a pitiful maid-in-waiting. Not only was he forced to serve Best Actor Fu, but he also needed to wait on Fu Sichen¡¯s cat!
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was as cold as usual; he couldn¡¯t be bothered with Wang Youquan¡¯s antics.
An awkward silence ensued.
Wang Youquan felt like a third wheel whenever he was around Fu Sichen and his cat¡ª and a very big one at that!
The city that they were supposed to film in wasn¡¯t very far from Donghai City. Not to mention, they were taking a private jet, so they would arrive at their destination in no time.
Fu Sichen¡¯s fans missed the opportunity to see their idol at the airport because they didn¡¯t publicly announce this trip.
They left the airport using the VIP route and had an uninterrupted journey all the way to the hotel. Fu Sichen decided to leave the cat in the hotel room.
¡°Your Dad¡¯s going to go film a trailer now.¡± Fu Sichen carried the cat onto the desk and brought him to face level, ¡°Be a good boy and wait for me.¡±
Pei Zhen was bbergasted.
He didn¡¯t understand why Fu Sichen felt the need to call himself ¡°Dad.¡± Was it a way for him to get back at him for saying that Fu Sichen would call him Daddy one day?
Even though Pei Zhen was angry about this whole father and son scenario, he still acted like he didn¡¯t care. It was a sacrifice that he was willing to make in order to preserve his freedom in the longer term.
The Persian cat waved his tail around, blinked at Fu Sichen, and meowed.
Even as a cat, Pei Zhen could be extremely gentle if he tried.
Fu Sichen was amazed. He stared, mesmerized, into the Persian cat¡¯s deep sapphire blue eyes. Then, as if spellbound, he lowered his head to give the cat a kiss, as if it were the most natural thing to do in the world.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t believe what just happened.
It was as if a streak of lightning had struck Pei Zhen out of the blue. The cat¡¯s hind legs gave out, making his butt hit the table with a loud thud.
What the hell?!
Feeling the light moisture on his lips, Pei Zhen felt lost and confused about what just happened. He didn¡¯t quite know how to respond.
On the other hand, Fu Sichen, the culprit of this whole fiasco, simply felt like kissing the cat was both natural and satisfying. After smiling at the cat, he got up and left.
The door opened and shut.
Pei Zhen stared at the tightly shut door. After being stunned for a few moments, all Pei Zhen felt was anger.
¡°Fu. Si. Chen!¡±
You bastard!
¡°Pervert! Garbage! Fool!¡±
The water pitcher and the sses on the table suffered the brunt of his anger. With every swipe of Pei Zhen¡¯s paws, there would be a loud and violent crash. The poorer quality ones even directly broke into pieces.
After scheming and calcting for so long, Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t expected this kind of result.
Great! Even though he managed to rescue his human body from Fu Sichen¡¯s fairytale kiss, he hadn¡¯t thought about how to save his cat body from getting the same treatment!
¡°Despicable!¡±
Pei Zhen ran towards the bathroom while cursing and swearing nonstop. He squeezed some toothpaste into his mouth and took a big gulp of water. Even though Fu Sichen only kissed him on the lips, he still felt like he needed to clean out his mouth from the inside out.
This was really exhausting.
With trembling paws, Pei Zhen used the hotel phone to call Xiao Nian. When Xiao Nian picked up the call, all Pei Zhen could do was meow. He couldn¡¯t stop himself from letting out a whimper.
¡°Is this Pei Zhen?¡± Xiao Nian guessed.
¡°Come pick me up! I want to elope with you!¡± Pei Zhen cried.

Chapter 51: I Hate Him and I Don¡¯t Know Who He Is! Save Me First!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
For the first time in his life, Xiao Nian had received a call from a cat. This was a story that was so bizarre, that it should go down in history.
Only¡
The Persian cat couldn¡¯t speak any humannguage, so all he could do was meow desperately on the other end of the line. This made Xiao Nian extremely anxious.
¡°Pei Zhen, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiao Nian was in a public ce, so he didn¡¯t want to raise his voice. Seeing a nearby restroom, he ran towards it while trying to encourage Pei Zhen at the same time, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. Even if you aren¡¯t a virgin anymore, the fact that I love you will never change!¡±
What?!
Pei Zhen felt like giving his clueless manager a good kick.
There was no way to send text messages using the hotel¡¯s phone, so Pei Zhen had no choice but to hang up and use the hotel¡¯sputer.
Pei Zhen really was azy person.
He usually left the management of all of his social media to Xiao Nian. It took him awhile to remember what his QQ security login code was. After logging into the ount, he quickly sent the address of the hotel to Xiao Nian.
[The Great Daddy Pei Zhen] Come pick me up. Immediately! Right now!
Xiao Nian had been waiting for Pei Zhen to message him, so he quickly replied.
[Little Fairy Girl of Donghai Xiao Nian] Daddy, where is Best Actor Fu?
[The Great Daddy Pei Zhen] Don¡¯t mention him to me! I hate him and I don¡¯t know who he is! Save me first! Just give me an answer already! When are youing to pick me up?!
[Little Fairy Girl of Donghai Xiao Nian] Best Actor Fu isn¡¯t there?
[The Great Daddy Pei Zhen] That¡¯s right! I¡¯ll reimburse you for the ticket from Donghai to Anning City. You¡¯ll be paid upon sessfulpletion of this task. So, are youing or not!?
[Little Fairy Girl of Donghai Xiao Nian] Yes, Daddy. Wait for me, Daddy. See you in two hours, Daddy!
The Great Manager Xiao Nian was a man who loved money. He would do anything for a quick buck. He grabbed his backpack before hurriedly leaving the office.
Pei Zhen¡¯s assistant was a youngdy. When she saw the manager leaving, she called out to him anxiously, ¡°Big Brother Xiao, you have a meetingter.¡±
¡°I have to go and save the world! Go to the meeting in my ce!¡±
Xiao Nian quickly hailed a cab; he left without looking back. On his way to the airport, he had some time to check his QQ ount.
[The Great Daddy Pei Zhen] What kind of stupid nickname is that? Why can¡¯t you act like a dignified man!¡±
Pei Zhen had some PTSD. Seeing the words ¡°Little Fairy Girl¡± made him feel nauseous.
This reminded Xiao Nian of the pet suit. He quickly changed his nickname.
[Martian Baby Xiao Nian] Everything Daddy Pei Zhen says is right.
[The Great Daddy Pei Zhen] ¡
No matter what, Xiao Nian still traveled to the hotel without stopping for any dys.
Taking note of Pei Zhen¡¯s reminder, Xiao Nian avoided the reception whening into the hotel. He also didn¡¯t forget to disguise himself.
He found Pei Zhen¡¯s room number, and just like he discussed with Pei Zhen, knocked on the door three times before saying, ¡°Pei Zhen, it¡¯s me.¡±
The door quickly opened.
The white Persian cat was standing on a chair with his hind legs. He had a grim expression on his face.
¡°This¡¡± Xiao Nian saw shattered bits of broken ss all over the floor. He wanted to ask about what had happened, but Pei Zhen had already jumped onto his head. It was clear that he wanted Xiao Nian to leave immediately.
It had already been a little more than two hours since Fu Sichen had left. Who knew when he¡¯d be back?!
Xiao Nian made a noise to show that he understood before shutting the door and walking away with the cat.
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t want to take the elevator, so he headed for the stairs instead.
Just as Xiao Nian¡¯s silhouette disappeared from the hallway, the elevator let out a ding before opening. Ady¡¯s voice could be hearding from inside the elevator, ¡°Best Actor Fu, thank you so much for today. Why don¡¯t I buy you dinner tonight?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to do that.¡±

Chapter 52: I Like Spoiling Him. Do You Have a Problem With That?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fu Sichen was famous in the entertainment circle for being cold and emotionless.
He wasn¡¯t arrogant, but he was a man with principles. It was almost impossible to suck up to him or climb onto his bed.
Many female celebrities had tried and failed.
Some male actors had also tried making a move on Fu Sichen.
Of course, Fu Sichen wouldn¡¯t let his name be dragged through the mud. He almost ended up beating some of those men to a pulp.
Lin Yousu felt like she was treated like a saint inparison. Otherwise, Fu Sichen wouldn¡¯t have even bothered to give her advice before filming.
This was all thanks to the Persian cat.
The more she thought about it, the more certain she was about where she stood with Fu Sichen. She felt extremely confident. Even after Fu Sichen declined her invitation to dinner, she pressed on by asking, ¡°How¡¯s Jerry doing?¡±
After the Persian cat¡¯s brave act of saving the guide dog made headlines, Lin Yousu had felt angry for a while.
It was really infuriating.
Why didn¡¯t that cat rescue a dog when she was still his owner? She wanted to be on the headlines too!
More importantly, every little thing that the cat and Fu Sichen did would end up going viral. This made Lin Yousu extremely angry. Why couldn¡¯t it be her on the cover with Fu Sichen instead of that cat?
It wasn¡¯t like Lin Yousu had never thought about announcing on Weibo that the cat used to belong to her.
However, she was ultimately scared that it would backfire on her, so she decided against it.
¡°I saw his picture online.¡± Lin Yousu said with a gentle smile and her hands behind her back, ¡°The picture where he was wearing clothes and drinking milk. Isn¡¯t he just a stubborn little thing?¡±
Lin Yousu was hoping to keep the conversation going, but Fu Sichen remained as aloof and cold as before, ¡°I like spoiling him. Do you have a problem with that?¡±
This was a signal to end the conversation.
Lin Yousu, both angry and speechless at the same time, stumbled and almost tripped. Wang Youquan had been following behind them during their conversation. He was simrly at a loss for words, but still tried his best to salvage the situation, ¡°Sichen¡ He¡ He¡¯s quite fond of small animals.¡± Cough, cough.
Lin Yousu tried very hard to force a smile on her face, ¡°Oh, I see. Jerry must be very lucky then.¡±
For some reason, everything started to feel quite awkward and embarrassing. It felt too awkward for Lin Yousu to even bring up taking a look at the cat, so she said goodbye and left when they arrived at the end of the corridor.
¡°Goodbye, Miss Lin Yousu.¡±
Wang Youquan¡¯s face was sore from smiling so much. After Lin Yousu disappeared around the corner, he turned and yelled at Fu Sichen, ¡°Best Actor Fu, what on earth were you thinking? Why do you have to speak so insensitively? Don¡¯t forget, you still have to film with each other!¡±
¡°Hmph.¡± Fu Sichen snorted, his expression full of impatience, ¡°Why did she have to mention Pei Pei then? Is she thinking about taking him back? Sorry, but that¡¯s impossible.¡±
Wang Youquan felt speechless.
What did he mean, Lin Yousu wanted to take Pei Pei back?!
Wang Youquan was pretty sure that that wasn¡¯t Lin Yousu¡¯s intention.
Her target was Fu Sichen!
Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t quite understand how the normally sleek and exquisite Best Actor Fu had lost all of his emotional intelligence. Why did he think that the whole world was somehow smitten with his violent Persian cat?!
¡°The film crew invited us to dinner tonight.¡± Wang Youquan continued to persuade him patiently, ¡°Are you really not going to attend?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Fu Sichen took a step towards the door of his room, and signaled at Wang Youquan to open it with the room card, ¡°Pei Pei will be lonely if I leave him by himself.¡±
Wang Youquan rolled his eyes in his heart.
Even though he wanted to call the Persian cat a ¡°jinx,¡± it didn¡¯t feel quite right for some reason.
In the end, Wang Youquan opened the door without saying anything else. He was about to step into the room, when he saw the broken pieces of ss spread out across the floor. He quickly took a few steps back.
What¡¯s going on!?
The Persian cat didn¡¯t seem to be in the room.

Chapter 53: How Dare He!

The Persian cat had disappeared.
Fu Sichen immediately searched all four corners of the room. Even then, the Persian cat was nowhere to be found!
¡°A cat? We didn¡¯t see any cat¡¡± The hotel manager gulped nervously, ¡°Best Actor Fu, I can assure you that we take the security of our guests very seriously. We don¡¯t have any gaps when ites to hotel security.¡±
The man on the sofa was wearing a ck shirt with his sleeves rolled up, exposing his lean and muscr arms. He had a cigarette in one hand, with his other hand resting on the back of the sofa. He listened indifferently before raising his head. His eyes looked as if they hade from the darkest abyss, and the expression on his face was frosty.
The young hotel manager didn¡¯t have the guts to keep talking. She nervously took a few steps back.
¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu.¡± The youngdy was close to tears by this point, and her voice was shaking badly, ¡°I¡ I¡ I really don¡¯t know where your cat went.¡±
Shards of broken ss had been strewn all over the floor near the entrance of the room; the water pitcher had also been thrown onto the floor. It was extremely suspicious, and looked as though a robbery had taken ce.
But¡
The hotel manager was almost certain that there hadn¡¯t been any signs of a robbery in the hotel.
¡°Call the police.¡± Fu Sichen finally said, in a stern and cold voice, ¡°Let me see your surveince footage.¡±
¡°Yes¡ yes¡ yes¡¡±
The hotel manager was too scared to argue with him, so she didn¡¯t say that it was too soon to report that his cat had gone missing. Her whole body was bathed in a cold sweat as she agreed to Fu Sichen¡¯s demands. She quickly called her coworkers to try andplete his requests.
The hotel surveince video was quickly retrieved.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t have the patience to go through the tape frame by frame, so he fast-forwarded the footage to the point where it showed his hotel room.
He saw a conservatively-dressed figure appear on the screen.
The person knocked on the door three times, looked as though he said something, and then the door seemed to have been opened from the inside.
¡°What?¡± Wang Youquan widened his eyes, ¡°Am I missing something? How did he open the door?¡±
Surely, it couldn¡¯t have been the Persian cat, right?!
Fu Sichen¡¯s forehead was wrinkled into a tight frown. He pursed his lips, didn¡¯t say anything, and continued staring at the screen. Then, he saw the white Persian cat skillfully jump onto that person¡¯s head.
There was a familiar closeness in the cat¡¯s attitude towards the mysterious person. He didn¡¯t seem to resist that person at all.
The cat had even taken the initiative!
After realizing this, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression turned even colder. When the figure opened up his backpack, the cat had even jumped into it without a shred of hesitation.
¡°Ahhhhh.¡± Wang Youquan was also anxious about the cat being taken away by someone, ¡°Isn¡¯t Pei Pei really smart? How could he fall into such an obvious trap? Or maybe, there was some kind of food in the backpack that acted as bait?¡±
Indeed, the Persian cat was smart.
But, no matter how smart he was, in the end, he was still a cat.
Wang Youquan suddenly recalled the guide dog incident, and a scary idea came to mind, ¡°Sichen, maybe the dog thieves are trying to get back at you? Maybe they tracked you down to take Pei Pei away?¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s highly unlikely.¡± Fu Sichen slightly rewound the surveince footage. He wanted to know what the person in the video had said. ¡°Is there no audio on this thing?¡±
Fu Sichen was asking the hotel manager.
The hotel manager felt extremely nervous, stammering, ¡°No¡ no¡¡±
Fu Sichen gave her an icy look. It was obvious that he thought that the hotel security was subpar.
Fu Sichen felt both anxious and angry, but he was also frighteningly calm at the same time.
Before the police arrived, he had already started investigating for himself.
ording to the surveince video, it hadn¡¯t been very long since that person had left the hotel. Fu Sichen ordered the hotel security to chase after that person, and hunt him down. At the same time, he was impatiently trying to lipread what the person had said in the video.
¡°Pei Pei¡ It¡¯s me¡¡±
Fu Sichen tried to repeat what he thought the figure in the video was mouthing. Wang Youquan tried it out for himself, and he also felt like what Fu Sichen had guessed was highly probable.
¡°How dare he!¡±
At this point, Fu Sichen recognized who the person in the surveince video was. He tried to suppress how angry he was before picking up his phone to make a call.

Xiao Nian didn¡¯t dare to stay too long at the hotel, so he left in a hurry. He hailed a cab and headed for the bus station.
Pets weren¡¯t allowed on nes or trains, so Xiao Nian had no choice but to travel by bus.
¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian unzipped his backpack, and a cat¡¯s head appeared. Now that they had gotten onto the taxi, Xiao Nian was starting to worry, ¡°We just took off without a word. Are you sure that this is fine?¡±
Best Actor Fu would definitely be worried.
Xiao Nian was very concerned¡ª he felt like Best Actor Fu ced a lot of importance on this cat.
Pei Zhen understood what Xiao Nian was saying. He snorted, before quickly punching out a message on Xiao Nian¡¯s phone. [Fu Sichen is cold and heartless. I¡¯m just an insignificant part of his life¡ª he¡¯ll forget about me in no time.]
The quicker Fu Sichen forgot about him, the better.
Right now, all he wanted to do was focus on getting Xiao Nian to hurry up and find a shaman.
¡°Are you sure?¡± Xiao Nian nagged, ¡± Daddy, I¡¯m kind of regretting making such a rash decision over a few extra bucks¡¡±
[Oh, for god¡¯s sake! Whose side are you on?! I¡¯ll dock your sry if you¡¯re not careful!]
¡°Daddy, no, no, no¡¡±
The taxi driver had kept silent the whole ride.
He couldn¡¯t help but look in the rearview mirror. He saw his passenger was talking to a cat that was in a backpack. This was such a bizarre situation.
What¡¯s wrong with young people these days? They even call cats ¡°Daddy!¡± If this was his son, he¡¯d break his legs!
The bus station wasn¡¯t very far from the hotel. Perhaps by a stroke of luck, the ride had been smooth and uninterrupted.
After paying the taxi driver, Xiao Nian dashed into the bus station with a cat in his backpack, and bought a ticket for the next bus to Donghai City.
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t have his phone on him because he had given his phone to Pei Zhen. Hence, he ended up missing Best Actor Fu¡¯s iing call.
When Fu Sichen¡¯s call came through, even before the phone had a chance to ring, Pei Zhen had hung up the phone after seeing the caller ID.
It was an unknown number; it wasn¡¯t registered on Xiao Nian¡¯s phone.
However, with just one nce, Pei Zhen knew who the caller was.
Thinking about it now, it was really strange. Even though he obviously hated Fu Sichen, for some reason, Pei Zhen would stillmit a lot of little details about him to memory.
For example, he could recite Fu Sichen¡¯s cell phone number forwards and backwards.
For example, he could remember the names of all the movies that Fu Sichen had starred in, all of his lines, and even all of the things that he disliked.
Even so, his recent contact with Fu Sichen just made him feel weird. He was convinced that Fu Sichen was a pervert.
As a matter of course, all calls from perverts should be ignored.
Therefore, unbeknownst to Xiao Nian, Pei Zhen sent Fu Sichen a short message: [Don¡¯t love me. There¡¯s no good ending to loving me.]
On the other end of the line, Fu Sichen was feeling extremely pissed off because his call had been disconnected. After seeing that text message, the only thing he could think about was blowing up that man¡¯s head!
How dare he!
Was he treating this as a prank call or something?
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t wait for the police to arrive anymore. He quickly contacted his bodyguard and told him to prepare his private jet before heading out the door.
You¡¯re not picking up the phone? Fine. Fu Sichen sent out a text message.
[Xiao Nian, bring Pei Pei back to me immediately if you want to live.]
Pei Zhen saw the message. They had gotten caught.
Damn it!
He had specifically asked Xiao Nian to put on a disguise! How did they get caught so quickly?
By now, Pei Zhen was also getting angry. He didn¡¯t care about whether his actions would get Xiao Nian into deeper sh*t, and replied back. [The Persian cat doesn¡¯t belong to you. He belongs to Mother Nature.]
Therefore, give up. Stop searching for him.
Pei Zhen remembered that Fu Sichen had work that night. Unless work had been rescheduled, then there was no way that he¡¯d miss work just for a cat.
[Xiao Nian.] Pei Zhen thought for a while before continuing to type. [Let¡¯s not go back to Donghai City. Sometimes, the safest ce is often the most dangerous ce.]
Chapter 55 - Come On! Let’s See Who Can Hurt The Other More!
Chapter 55: Come On! Let¡¯s See Who Can Hurt The Other More!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Initially, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t know why Pei Zhen had changed his mind.
Of course, that was only until he saw the messages that Pei Zhen had sent to Fu Sichen.
Donghai¡¯s Little Fairy Girl Darling Xiao¡¯s heart almost stopped!
¡°Pei Zhen!¡± Xiao Nian screamed at the top of his voice, not caring that he was in a public ce, ¡°What have I done to deserve this? Are you trying to get me into trouble?!¡±
Pei Zhen was puzzled.
What did he do? All he did was give Fu Sichen a warning. What was he so afraid of?
¡°I don¡¯t care anymore!¡± Little Fairy Girl Xiao, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, retorted, ¡°You were unfair to me first! So don¡¯t me me if I do the same to you! Come on! Let¡¯s see who can hurt the other more!¡±
Pei Zhen stared at him in disbelief.
And thus, that¡¯s how Pei Zhen¡¯s escape attempt failed.
Furthermore, it failed at the most critical point in Xiao Nian¡¯s n.
When Xiao Nian called Fu Sichen to confess, it was already toote for Pei Zhen to stop him.
¡°Best Actor Fu!¡± Xiao Nian was now being chased by the cat. He was looking for an escape route, so he sounded breathless on the phone as he cried, ¡°I was wrong! How did I have the guts to do something like that? I didn¡¯t know right from wrong! If it isn¡¯t toote, can I still ask for your forgiveness?¡±
Xiao Nian ran out of the bus station as fast as he could, with Pei Zhen following closely behind him. The cat¡¯s eyes looked as though they were on fire; it was in to see that he was furious.
¡°My god, look at how fast that guy¡¯s running.¡±
¡°He must be a professional athlete.¡±
¡°Ay, wait a second. What¡¯s that white ball of fur? Is that a cat?¡±
The tourists were stunned by the strange scene of a cat chasing after a man. They automatically took out their phones to record it.
It quickly started to gain momentum online.
Circle of Friends, Weibo, and other social media tforms were immediately flooded with a video. In the video, a proud-looking white cat jumped and flew through the air to bite into a man¡¯s backpack.
¡°What a handsome cat¡±, ¡°Little white tiger hero¡± and otherments like that kept streaming in. Someone had evene up with a story of a cat nabbing a thief!
Of course, these were all just guesses.
For Pei Zhen, reality was cruel.
Pei Zhen followed furiously after Xiao Nian as Xiao Nian ran out of the bus station. He took a great leap onto Xiao Nian¡¯s backpack, but before he had the chance to teach Xiao Nian a lesson, there was a sound of screeching tires.
A fleet of police cars had arrived.
A lot of policemen quickly got out of the car to surround Xiao Nian and Pei Zhen.
Xiao Nian was almost on his knees in despair.
This was especially true after the window of one of the police cars rolled down, and Xiao Nian¡¯s eyes met those of the person sitting there. Beads of perspiration formed on his forehead.
It was Fu Sichen!
He actually called the police!
All of this drama, just for a missing cat!
Xiao Nian really couldn¡¯t understand what was going on in Fu Sichen¡¯s head. Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t either!
The minute that Pei Zhen saw Fu Sichen, hepletely forgot about Xiao Nian. He made an immediate decision, turned around, and jumped off of Xiao Nian.
He wanted to escape, but the policemen were ready. With the press of a button, a huge was deployed andnded over the cat.
The moment he was caught, all Pei Zhen could do was curse in his head.
The time between the white Persian cat¡¯s escape and his capture was less than an hour.
In a secure room, the dim light of a tablemp was directed at Xiao Nian¡¯s extremely charming face.
¡°I was wrong.¡± Xiao Nian¡¯s attitude was very sincere. He even squeezed out a tear to show how much he regretted his actions. ¡°I won¡¯t do it again, I promise. There won¡¯t be a next time. I¡¯m serious.¡±
Fu Sichen, who was sitting across from Xiao Nian, let out a coldugh. He was ying with some red rope in his hands. The rope was about as thick as an adult¡¯s pinky. It snapped straight when Fu Sichen applied force, and the sound caused Xiao Nian to almost fall from his chair in fright.
¡°Please! Spare my life! Please don¡¯t kill me!¡±
Chapter 56 - Taking Advantage of My Feelings for You
Chapter 56: Taking Advantage of My Feelings for You

Fu Sichen had already made arrangements to track Xiao Nian¡¯s location before Xiao Nian¡¯s call.
After geolocating Xiao Nian through his phone, he would be able to find them immediately.
Fu Sichen made use of his influence to get in touch with the local police. After activating thework, he was able to lure Xiao Nian and Pei Zhen right into his hands.
By now, Xiao Nian was scared stiff.
No matter how he had thought about it, he never would have imagined that Fu Sichen would go to such great lengths for a cat!
The police were stumped too.
It wasn¡¯t like they had a lot of time on their hands.
Initially, they might have felt that their task was sacred. But in the end, they had been sent off to catch a cat thief. Everything had been for a cat. The more they thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
Xiao Nian fell off the chair andnded with his butt on the ground; it hurt like hell. But before he could cry out in pain, Fu Sichen suddenly stood up.
Xiao Nian was horrified.
He looked at the red rope in Fu Sichen¡¯s hands, and nearly passed out from fear. At that moment, he decided to throw away all of his dignity as a human being. He got down on his knees, straightened his back, and prepared to beg for mercy.
¡°Hmph.¡± Fu Sichen snorted coldly, bringing Xiao Nian¡¯s kowtow to a stop. He walked towards the cat cage on the side of the room with Xiao Nian still shaking in fright.
Fu Sichen had secured the cage door with a padlock because he knew that the Persian cat knew how to open the door.
The cat rolled over and got up after he realized that Fu Sichen was walking towards the cage. This time, he didn¡¯t meow. All he did was re at Fu Sichen boldly and angrily.
The police had already left the room.
After being assured that Fu Sichen wouldn¡¯t attack Xiao Nian in a frenzy, Pei Zhen gathered enough energy to face Fu Sichen.
He refused to be Fu Sichen¡¯s cat.
He refused to put up with Fu Sichen kissing him.
Humans had human rights. Even if he became a cat, cats also had rights!
¡°Are you angry at me?¡± Fu Sichen knelt next to the cage. He wanted to act gruff and speak harshly, but he found himself unable to. ¡°¡ You¡¯re taking advantage of my feelings for you.¡±
Taking advantage of my feelings to do as he pleased; taking advantage of my feelings to be stubborn and presumptuous; taking advantage of my feelings to be arrogant and bold.
He was exactly the same as that guy.
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t move for a while. He had be agitated after Fu Sichen had mentioned ¡°feelings;¡± he nearly jumped up when it was brought up. But, the moment he looked into Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes, he couldn¡¯t move a muscle; It was like he had been possessed.
He looked so sad¡
Why was Best Actor Fu so sad?
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t connect Fu Sichen¡¯s sadness to himself. He would never have thought that Fu Sichen was thinking about the Pei Zhen who was lying in the hospital. The only thing that surprised him, was how much Fu Sichen seemed to like pets.
Fu Sichen had never really liked animals.
Pei Zhen remembered a movie that he and Fu Sichen had acted in together.
The main theme of the movie was man and nature. Nature, of course, included animals. The main storyline started off with the lead actor saving a little fox.
The plot was great, as it had been produced by a famous director. At that time, many actors had been vying for that role.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t really have to do anything. The crew looked for him themselves, hoping that he would take up that role.
Fu Sichen ended up rejecting such a rare opportunity because he ¡°didn¡¯t hate animals, but also didn¡¯t really like them.¡± He wasn¡¯t interested enough in the role to take on the lead actor¡¯s righteous animal-loving character.
He even rmended Pei Zhen for the role.
Hence, Pei Zhennded himself the role of the righteous lead actor, and Fu Sichen ended up acting as the viin. During the first few filming sessions, not only did his manager Wang Youquan feel like Fu Sichen was in a particrly good mood, but all of the crew members felt it too.
Why was he so happy acting as a viin? Fu Sichen must really hate animals.
Therefore, Pei Zhen still couldn¡¯t quite understand the Fu Sichen that was in front of him today. He couldn¡¯t help but specte whether or not it was because Fu Sichen still felt like the cat was a hero.
A big hero that got him into a car ident.
¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu, I¡¯m sure that Pei Pei also regrets his actions.¡±
Chapter 57 - It Suited His Taste
Chapter 57: It Suited His Taste
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Xiao Nian was still nervous, but got up in fright when he saw Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen confronting each other.
After seeing that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t use the red rope to whip him, Xiao Nian started to have strange ideas. What if Fu Sichen was going to use it to torture the cat?!
Xiao Nian was afraid that his Daddy Pei Zhen¡¯s big ego would anger Fu Sichen. Therefore, he quickly admitted his wrongdoings.
¡°Best Actor Fu, Pei Pei really is sorry.¡± Xiao Nian was sweating profusely now, ¡°No, I meant, it was all my fault. I was the one who tricked him into opening the door, and I was the one who took him away.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fu Sichen raised his sword-like brows, recalling the scene in the surveince video.
The look in his eyes wasplex; it was hard for anyone to tell what he was thinking.
¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu¡¡± Xiao Nian felt his legs giving away from Fu Sichen¡¯s re. He felt guilty, but still tried to exin. He thanked god when Best Actor Fu looked away.
¡°Look at you.¡± Fu Sichen addressed the cat again. He knelt down to open the cage door. ¡°Look at what you did to him.¡±
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t bring himself to be mean to the cat. He was initially nning on using the red rope to restrain the cat, but in the end, he just couldn¡¯t do it.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t understand his own emotions either. He just felt like the cat could understand what people were saying.
If he couldn¡¯t punish the cat physically, then perhaps, it was a good idea to make the feline feel a little guilty.
Just as he expected, the moment the cage door was opened, the Persian cat immediately shot out. He jumped onto the table with a leap, and stared straight at Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian thought that his Daddy Pei Zhen was going to be angry, and teach him a good lesson he¡¯d never forget. He had even prepared himself to beg for forgiveness, but then, the white Persian cat walked up to him. For the very first time, the cat gently rubbed up against his hands.
Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t a rude person.
Escaping had been his idea in the first ce. Even if Xiao Nian foiled his n by turning himself in, that had only been because they had underestimated Fu Sichen. They would never have expected that Fu Sichen would go this far for a cat.
After rubbing against Xiao Nian, Pei Zhen turned around and ran towards Fu Sichen.
Even though Fu Sichen still had an icy expression on his face, he still gave in to the cat¡¯s actions. This time, the cat didn¡¯t directly jump onto his head. Instead, he obediently nestled on his shoulder.
Emmmmm¡.
Pei Zhen rubbed against Fu Sichen¡¯s face, even though it was difficult for him to do so, in order to further ensure Xiao Nian¡¯s safety.
This little action by the cat was enough to make Fu Sichen¡¯s mood pull a 180. He stretched out his hands to lightly pinch the cat¡¯s ears, which made the cat agitated again. Then, he told Xiao Nian to leave.
¡°Get out. I don¡¯t want to see you right now.¡±
Xiao Nian was stunned. He realized that Fu Sichen was going to let the matter rest, and was almost moved to tears, ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯m leaving now.¡±
Before he left, the Great Manager Xiao Nian even tried to suck up to Fu Sichen by asking if he wanted some food.
¡°Mind your own business.¡±
Fu Sichen was still terribly icy, as usual. After kicking Xiao Nian out of the room, he mmed the door shut.
He opened all of the curtains in the room, letting the glittering lights shine in from outside the window.
Night had fallen.
Pei Zhen had lost track of time before this, so he only just realized that Fu Sichen had missed work that night!
¡°Are you hungry?¡± As if he was trying to confirm his guess, Fu Sichen opened up the takeout that he had bought previously. ¡°It¡¯s seafood. You like this, right?¡±
The food was packed in an insted container, so they didn¡¯t need to reheat it.
When the container was opened, the aroma of the food drifted out. Pei Zhen¡¯s stomach growled mercilessly.
Seafood.
It suited his taste.
After a while, Pei Zhen started to notice that Fu Sichen had a really good understanding of his likes and dislikes.
Chapter 58 - Are You That Unwilling to Sleep on the Bed?
Chapter 58: Are You That Unwilling to Sleep on the Bed?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fu Sichen had a cold personality, and there was only one person that he really liked. He was also exceptionally persistent in liking Pei Zhen.
Because he was naturally indifferent, he was usually nonchnt about most things.
For example, the question of whether or not to eat seafood. Fu Sichen didn¡¯t like shelling prawns because he found it troublesome and a waste of time.
That didn¡¯t seem to be the case anymore.
The white Persian cat sat by the table. Every so often, a shelled prawn would appear in his bowl. All he needed to do was open his mouth and enjoy his meal.
Fu Sichen had long fingers with prominent joints.
Good-looking people looked good doing anything.
Every time Fu Sichen lifted up a fresh red prawn, his skin looked even paler inparison to the fresh red color of the shell. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t even have to turn his head to see Fu Sichen¡¯s protruding wristbone.
There was a sort of seductiveness about it.
¡°Is it lonely staying at home?¡± Fu Sichen ced yet another prawn before the Persian cat. Fu Sichen¡¯s deep voice sounded again, ¡°If you like keeping mepany, then I can take you to the studio again.¡±
Pei Zhen was at a loss for words again.
The atmosphere had started to be gentler, and things had just started to calm down, when another sea of emotions hit him out of nowhere.
Why did this *sshole keep thinking that the Persian cat liked him!
Even if he was left alone in the hotel room, Pei Zhen still wouldn¡¯t feel lonely!
He looked at Fu Sichen. For some reason, he felt like this person was too gentle to be true; it gave Pei Zhen goosebumps.
It was really freaky.
Pei Zhen backed up two steps, and almost fell off the chair again.
He recalled Fu Sichen¡¯s words with mixed feelings. He still felt like something was off.
After that casual dinner, Pei Zhen was held down and given a bath.
In any case, resistance was futile. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t have the energy to struggle. After being blow-dried, he had initially wanted to return to his cage to sleep.
However, Fu Sichen refused.
He picked up the cat in one swoop before walking towards the bed, dragging his hotel slippers along the way, ¡°I need to watch you closely, you little fugitive.¡±
Pei Zhen felt angry.
¡°Hey! Let me go! Damn it! Who the hell would want to sleep in the same bed as you!¡± Pei Zhen thought furiously.
Unintentionally sharing the same bed as Fu Sichen while drunk had already been shameful enough. Now, Fu Sichen was trying to force him to do it while sober!
Pei Zhen struggled violently as Fu Sichen looked on with a cold expression. He held the cat down on the bed forcefully, ¡°Are you that unwilling to sleep on the bed?¡±
¡°Meow. Meow. Meow!¡± It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to sleep on the bed. He just didn¡¯t want to sleep in the same bed as Fu Sichen!
¡°You don¡¯t like me? Do you prefer Xiao Nian?¡± At this point, Fu Sichen had too many things that he could use to ckmail the cat. So, he didn¡¯t mention the issue of getting neutered at all. Instead, he fixated on the fact that the cat had willingly left with Xiao Nian. ¡°Strictly speaking, Xiao Nian is a thief. Thieves should be sent to jail.¡±
Just as he had expected, after saying this, the Persian cat in his arms quieted down. Of course, he still stared at him with a resigned resentment in his eyes.
Fu Sichen thought that this was quite funny. He loosened his grip on the cat before pinching the cat¡¯s ears rather contemptuously once more, ¡°What a good boy. Wait for me over here.¡±
The cat blinked.
Pei Zhen¡¯s ears were flushed from being pinched, and the heat spread from his ears to his face. The cat was so ashamed that he had the urge to viciously kick Fu Sichen.
This damned pervert!
After unknowingly teasing Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen turned around to walk into the bathroom. Pei Zhen red angrily at his silhouette, cursing and swearing for a while before burrowing himself into the nket.
The nket was big, and the cat was tiny inparison. After making his way to the top of the bed, Pei Zhen tilted his head back to sleep. However, the minute he put his head down, he felt his head hit something hard.
It was a book.
Pei Zhen thought that it was just Fu Sichen being a conscientious actor, reading a book to upgrade his acting skills. However, after opening the book, Pei Zhen was shocked at the content.
Chapter 59 - Why Did It Seem a Little Gay in Retrospect?
Chapter 59: Why Did It Seem a Little Gay in Retrospect?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Best Actor Fu must own this professional book because of Wang Youquan.
At least, that was how Pei Zhen usually coaxed his own manager.
Books with titles like ¡°The Main Points of Acting,¡± or ¡°Analysis of Lin Yousu,¡± were all over his book shelf. However, underneath these respectable looking covers, it was actually hiding something like manga.
Fu Sichen must be hiding something too.
In the beginning, Pei Zhen had thought that Fu Sichen¡¯s book was hiding some kind of dark secret. But after opening it, all that came out was a thick stack of paper.
Without a doubt, these papers were very important to Fu Sichen.
The corners of every page had been neatly aligned, and the words on the papers had already started to fade. It was clear that they were rather old.
¡°What are these?¡±
Pei Zhen continued to flip through the pages curiously. It wasn¡¯t a diary, or even some kind of important notes. The papers were a mix of forms, arithmetic, and other things like that¡ He had flipped through most of them before it slowly dawned on him.
Wait a second.
These were his notes from when he was still in school.
Even if he hadn¡¯t used a pen and paper for a long time, Pei Zhen could at least recognize his own handwriting. He hadn¡¯t beenpletely sure until he saw a character sketch that finally confirmed his suspicions.
The sketch was rather messy. However, because of the artist¡¯s good skills, you could easily tell that it was a remarkable rendering of a person.
It was a drawing of a youth.
The youth was lowering his head while reading; he had defined facial features that made him look outstanding and handsome.
Next to the sketch, in ostentatious lettering, were the words ¡°Big Brother.¡± On the other side of the paper was a note: Autumn, High School Year 2, From Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen was stunned.
It had been so many years since that time, but looking at the sketch brought a lot of memories to the surface.
That¡¯s right, he had drawn a sketch of Fu Sichen in his free time. He must have been possessed. Why else would he have written the words ¡°Big Brother¡± on the drawing, and gifted it to Fu Sichen himself?
The only thing that made him confused was that Fu Sichen had been expressionless when he epted the gift. Why was it so well preserved? Was he nning on passing it down as a family heirloom or something?
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t find a good exnation. Especially after recalling the way that Fu Sichen had called him a rascal, Pei Zhen started to panic. He quickly mmed the book shut.
Cr*p! Cr*p! Cr*p!
Why did the way he used to interact with his good friend seem a little gay in retrospect? Or was it just an illusion?
Sigh.
Before Pei Zhen could think of a good exnation, Fu Sichen had already finished showering and was walking out of the bathroom. Pei Zhen turned around, with a look that was hard to describe.
Fu Sichen had no way of knowing the emotional turmoil that his cat was currently going through. He quickly blow-dried his hair before plopping himself onto the bed.
Fu Sichen moved the cat to one side, making sure to leave a space for the Persian cat. With the cat watching, he took the book out, and fished out the wad of papers.
¡°What on earth¡?!¡± Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know what to think.
Looking through this stack of papers during his free time was part of Fu Sichen¡¯s daily routine. His deep gaze looked extremely gentle, but it only served to scare Pei Zhen. By now, all he wanted to do was keep his distance.
He felt like he didn¡¯t really know his rival anymore. Fu Sichen felt more and more like a total stranger the longer he stayed with him.
Why did he save his rival¡¯s old school notes!?
Maybe¡ Fu Sichen wanted to copy his handwriting?
Pei Zhen analyzed his handwriting in his head. It really was amazing¡ª not only did it flow beautifully, but it was both ssy and stylish.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was true. His goosebumps went away, and Pei Zhen was left feeling rather ttered.
He looked up again and stared at Fu Sichen, who was in deep concentration. Water droplets were still dripping from his damp hair, so the cat jumped off the bed toe back with a towel.
Fu Sichen frowned.
Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes were welling up with tears, ¡°Dry your hair, my little apprentice. After your teacher is a human again, I¡¯ll make sure to pass my skills onto you.¡±

Chapter 60: God-given Talent

The Persian cat kept meowing next to him. Fu Sichen looked at the cat, finally noticing Pei Zhen¡¯s softened expression.
¡°You want me to dry my hair?¡± Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Dad will do that in a bit. Thank you.¡±
Fu Sichen carelessly threw the towel over his own head, continuing to flip through the stack of notes. Pei Zhen automatically ignored the word ¡°Dad,¡± suddenly feeling like Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t so bad after all.
This was a god-given talent.
Pei Zhen believed that Fu Sichen would be able to carry on Pei Zhen¡¯s self-created calligraphy style if he kept working diligently!
Ever since bing a cat, Pei Zhen had rarely slept as well as he did that night. The next morning, he woke up in a very good mood.
The Persian cat was very well-behaved, allowing Fu Sichen to help him dress up in his pet suit. Pei Zhen had even stretched out his paws to give Fu Sichen a pat on the shoulder.
It was reasonable and innocent for an apprentice to bathe and change his master¡¯s clothes.
Fu Sichen frowned.
Fu Sichen felt like something was off. But, even after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn¡¯t figure out what was wrong.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t understand catnguage. However, if he could, he probably would have strangled Pei Zhen to death.
The day before, Fu Sichen had spent the entire day filming the trailer for the online game. He expected that he only needed to film for one more day before he was done with this job.
Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t intended to bring the cat to the film studio.
Lin Yousu would be there, and Fu Sichen had never stopped thinking that she wanted to take the Persian cat back. However, after what happened the night before, Fu Sichen felt like Lin Yousu wasn¡¯t as much of a threat as Xiao Nian was. So, he felt like she wasn¡¯t worth getting worked up over.
Wang Youquan had bought breakfast with him.
Xiao Nian came with him.
Afterst night¡¯s incident, the meeting that morning was even more awkward than usual. After his eyes met Fu Sichen¡¯s cold stare, Xiao Nian was so nervous that he almost swore away his innocence.
¡°I, Xiao Nian, swear that if I ever try to steal the cat again, then all of my artistes will never be Best Actor.¡±
Pei Zhen, someone who was aspiring to be Best Actor, shot poison darts at Xiao Nian with his eyes.
¡°Hmph.¡± Fu Sichen gave a coldugh with an expression to match, ¡°That¡¯s not your business anymore.¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t understand why Xiao Nian hade. Fu Sichen tried hinting that he wasn¡¯t wee here, and that seeing him around was an eyesore.
¡°Oh, this¡¡± Xiao Nian forced augh in an attempt to suck up to Fu Sichen, ¡°The journey to and from here is really long, and traveling alone would be lonely. Therefore, I thought that it might be nice if we all traveled together and kept each otherpany.¡±
Xiao Nian had never been on a private jet before, so he really wanted to experience what kind of exquisite service they had onboard.
Fu Sichen could see through Xiao Nian¡¯s thoughts, but didn¡¯t reject him.
After finishing up the most important part of the day, which was making sure that Pei Pei had been served breakfast, everybody headed out to the studio.
The Persian cat sat on Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder, and the two Great Managers followed behind them. This scene immediately gave Fu Sichen a lot of clout.
On the way to the studio, they even ran into Lin Yousu. The prettydy¡¯s jaw dropped when she saw this entourage; she was puzzled by this situation.
¡°Miss Lin Yousu.¡± In the midst of this confrontation, Xiao Nian broke the silence by saying, ¡°Good morning.¡±
In the beginning, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t feel any particr way about Lin Yousu. However, after watching her soap opera, he had started to idolize her. Therefore, when he saw her, he automatically smiled like a fool.
¡°Oh, good morning.¡± Lin Yousu was a little distant when addressing Xiao Nian. She wasn¡¯t very curious about why Xiao Nian was there. Rather, she was more focused on Fu Sichen. ¡°Best Actor Fu, are you bringing Jerry to the studio?¡±
Chapter 61 - Were You Sullied by Best Actor Fu?
Chapter 61: Were You Sullied by Best Actor Fu?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Lin Yousu¡¯s smile was sweet and pretty, especially under the glow of the morning sun. From Xiao Nian¡¯s perspective as a fan, this was simply a sight from heaven.
Unfortunately for Lin Yousu, this ¡°heavenly sight¡± had no such effect on Best Actor Fu.
Fu Sichen was on alert because the former owner of his Persian cat hade up to greet them. He removed the cat from his shoulder and brought Pei Zhen into his arms instead. He said with a cold expression, ¡°His name isn¡¯t Jerry.¡±
Lin Yousu was stunned for a moment before giving a derisiveugh, ¡°Oh, yes¡ It seems like he¡¯s called Pei Pei now, or something like that. Haha, I¡¯m just too used to his old name.¡±
Fu Sichen bit his lower lip, and didn¡¯t reply. While Lin Yousu was still confused, Fu Sichen wordlessly got into the minivan.
Wang Youquan and Xiao Nian followed him into the car. Once they were all in the minivan, Wang Youquan immediatelyined to Fu Sichen, ¡°Sichen, Lin Yousu is a new, up anding actress. No matter what, even if you don¡¯t like talking with her, you should at least be cordial.¡±
Fu Sichen was reading his script when he heard Wang Youquan say this. He answered with disdain, ¡°Her ulterior motive is to get the Persian cat back. Why do I need to be cordial with her?¡±
¡°Uh, why do you think she wants the cat back?¡± Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t understand what Fu Sichen was thinking.
¡°She was recalling her memories as Pei Pei¡¯s owner! Wasn¡¯t it very obvious?¡± Fu Sichen came to a decisive conclusion, ¡°Let¡¯s try to finish filming this morning.¡±
The two managers and the cat fell into silence.
Forget it, there wasn¡¯t any point in overthinking things. In any case, Best Actor Fu was inexplicably in love with his cat, and there wasn¡¯t anything anybody could do to stop it. His attitude was actually rather touching; it wasn¡¯t something that other people could understand.
Fu Sichen had skipped the event the night before, but his standing in the entertainment circle was undisputed. Hence, the director and the other staff didn¡¯t dare to express any dissatisfaction.
The crew members warmly weed Fu Sichen into the studio. They noticed the Persian cat in his arms, and knew that this was Fu Sichen¡¯s rumored beloved pet. They had already improvised a temporary little corner for the kitty.
¡°This cat is so beautiful! Don¡¯t let him get dirty by sitting on the floor.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, what brand of cat food does your cat normally eat? I¡¯ll go and buy some right now.¡±
¡°Teacher Fu, do you need any cat toys to keep your cat upied?¡±
Fu Sichen rejected everybody¡¯s attempt to help with Pei Pei.
However, no matter what, he still had to finish filming. No matter how unwilling Fu Sichen was, he still had to rely on Wang Youquan to take care of the cat. As for Xiao Nian¡
Sorry, but cat thieves couldn¡¯t be trusted!
Still, Xiao Nian was an undeniably first-rate manager, so everyone in the film crew knew who he was. After going around to greet everybody, Xiao Nian finally found an opportunity to be alone with Pei Zhen while Wang Youquan was in the bathroom.
Pei Zhen was watching TV on Fu Sichen¡¯s iPad.
¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian shut the door behind him. Fu Sichen had his own private resting area. Xiao Nian asked with concern, ¡°After I leftst night, were you sullied by Best Actor Fu?¡±
Pei Zhen looked up and gave Xiao Nian a nce full of disdain.
Last night, not only did he not get tortured, but he had actually been in a rather good mood.
Pei Zhen closed the iPad before narrating boastfully about his new disciple. [Fu Sichen is quite talented. I guess he barely meets my requirements to inherit my legacy.]
¡°What?¡± Xiao Nian said, ¡°Best Actor Fu saved all of your old notes?¡±
Pei Zhen nodded, with a lot of pride in his eyes.
¡°Huh? No way.¡± Xiao Nian felt a little embarrassed, ¡°Daddy, your scribbles¡ Do you really think that Best Actor Fu wants to learn your handwriting?¡±
Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t trying to mock Pei Zhen. He just felt like his Daddy Pei needed toe back to reality.
Besides Daddy Pei¡¯s signature being slightly decent-looking, his handwriting was simply an insult to the Chinesenguage!
Chapter 62 - Then Why Would Fu Sichen Save My Notes?
Chapter 62: Then Why Would Fu Sichen Save My Notes?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fu Sichen was truly someone that was favored by the gods.
Not only was he good-looking, he also had nice handwriting.
People would flock to get his autograph, just for the sake of getting ahold of his penmanship.
With such good innate talent, Xiao Nian felt like Fu Sichen really didn¡¯t have anything to learn from Pei Zhen¡¯s chicken scratch.
Xiao Nian¡¯s expression was sincere, and he spoke with certainty. However, Pei Zhen felt like Xiao Nian was just being jealous. [You just don¡¯t understand the appeal of my handwriting.]
¡°My point is that, even if I wanted to understand, it would be impossible!¡± Xiao Nian argued.
Pei Zhen continued to defend himself. [If he didn¡¯t appreciate my penmanship, then why would Fu Sichen save my notes!?]
Exactly. Why would he save Pei Zhen¡¯s notes?
Xiao Nian was also puzzled. His thoughts twisted and turned, beforeing to the most negative conclusion.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Xiao Nian blinked, feeling a little nosy, ¡°Say, do you think that Best Actor Fu is¡¡±
Bang!
Xiao Nian hadn¡¯t had the time to finish his sentence before the door to the room swung open with a loud bang. Xiao Nian turned around, and found himself face to face with Fu Sichen.
I¡¯ll be damned!
After his initial shock had passed, Xiao Nian remembered that Pei Zhen had been typing on the iPad earlier. He quickly grabbed it, and started deleting all of the messages from when they weremunicating. Xiao Nian was scared to death of the possibility that Fu Sichen would find out what was going on.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was somber, and his eyes sharply observed Xiao Nian. Xiao Nian felt like his gaze was a heavy as a rock.
Xiao Nian was getting too bold for his own good!
Not only did he go against Fu Sichen¡¯s wishes by getting close to the Persian cat, but now, he had even snatched away the cat¡¯s iPad!
¡°Meow.¡±
Of course, Pei Zhen knew what Xiao Nian was trying to do. He was also afraid that Fu Sichen would discover that he had turned into a cat. Without waiting for Fu Sichen to approach him, Pei Zhen leaped towards the man.
¡°It¡¯s none of your business! Don¡¯te any closer, you scumbag!¡±
The Persian cat was meowing rather loudly in protest. However, Fu Sichen thought that it was because he had been bullied. He quickly caught the cat with his arms, holding him in his embrace. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of this.¡±
¡°I¡ I was just curious.¡± Even though he had already deleted everything that Pei Zhen had typed, Xiao Nian was still extremely nervous. He quickly returned the iPad to Fu Sichen before saying, ¡°As expected of Best Actor Fu. Even the electronics that you purchase are high quality.¡±
Fu Sichen frowned.
Wasn¡¯t this just a normal iPad? Not to mention, he had bought it a while ago. If he remembered correctly, Xiao Nian¡¯s iPad was a newer model than his¡
¡°You¡ you finished filming already?¡± The atmosphere was embarrassing and tense. Worried that Fu Sichen might hit him, Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t brave enough to stay any longer. He quickly found an excuse to leave, ¡°I¡ I¡ I need to go to the bathroom. Hahaha¡¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s cold stare could barely keep up with how fast Xiao Nian was moving in his attempt to escape. Then, the door of the room was forcefully pulled open. Wang Youquan had juste back, so the two men ended up running into each other; it let out a dull thud.
¡°Oh, excuse me, excuse me.¡± Xiao Nian pulled himself away, and scrambled to leave, ¡°Please don¡¯t get angry, I¡¯ll leave right away.¡±
Wang Youquan was left speechless at Xiao Nian¡¯s attitude.
He took a look at Xiao Nian, who was busy escaping, before taking a look at Fu Sichen. He asked, puzzled, ¡°Sichen, did you hit him or something?¡±
Before the incident with the dog thieves, Wang Youquan had never known that Fu Sichen knew martial arts. Ever since then, he never saw Fu Sichen in the same light again.
He was simply a tyrant.
A cold and merciless tyrant.
Silence ensued. Fu Sichen thought that Wang Youquan¡¯s question was ludicrous. He took a nce at Xiao Nian¡¯s disappearing silhouette before looking down at the Persian cat in his arms.
After Xiao Nian had left, the Persian cat finally went back to being himself. He disdainfully kicked Fu Sichen with his hind legs, before quickly running off.
Fu Sichen immediately started thinking about the surveince footage from the night before; he got more and more suspicious.
Chapter 63 - Is It Possible for a Man to Become a Cat?
Chapter 63: Is It Possible for a Man to Be a Cat?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The surveince video that Fu Sichen had seen earlier, had definitely shown the Persian cat opening the door.
The doors to the rooms of the hotel were extremely secure; this was without a doubt. In order to open the door, you had to twist open a lock¡ª it wasn¡¯t as simple as just pressing down a door handle.
Even five or six year old children might not know how to get a door open, let alone a cat.
Not to mention, Fu Sichen remembered that there had been a chair ced behind the door when he went back to the room. He definitely remembered that that chair had been behind the desk when he left that morning.
¡°Sichen, how was filming?¡± Wang Youquan didn¡¯t have anything against Xiao Nian. He was just relieved that Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t beat up anybody. He shut the door before saying, ¡°If you finished filming early, then we can immediately return to Donghai¡ Uh¡ Sichen?¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t reply. Wang Youquan noticed that he was staring at the iPad. Puzzled, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Just now, was Xiao Nian trying to delete some important documents? Or maybe, he had been snooping around, and ended up finding some kind of important private information?
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Fu Sichen tried to ignore all of his doubts, clicking open a movie for the Persian cat to watch. He said, without changing the expression on his face, ¡°Lin Yousu couldn¡¯t bring herself into the role, so the filming will probably have to be dyed until further notice.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Wang Youquan sighed lightly, but he wasn¡¯t surprised at all by the news. ¡°Maybe you can give her a few pointers? After all, not everyone can act as well as you do.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wrong.¡±
¡°What?¡± Wang Youquan asked, confused.
Fu Sichen stared at the Persian cat steadily, with his eyes full of deep emotions, ¡°There¡¯s one person who can act as well as I do¡ª Pei Zhen.¡±
Hearing his name, Pei Zhen was stunned for a bit before looking up. But, the moment his eyes met Fu Sichen¡¯s, his heart skipped a beat.
He hardly had time to be ecstatic over his sworn rival¡¯s acknowledgement, before he was hit by an even moreplicated emotion.
Why was Fu Sichen looking at him when he said, ¡°Pei Zhen?¡± He¡ He¡ He was just a cat right now.
Did Fu Sichen notice something?!
Pei Zhen quickly looked away, and his gaze fell on the iPad. Coincidentally, he had acted in the movie that was ying. So, did that mean that Fu Sichen was also watching this movie?
After thinking this, Pei Zhen felt happy again.
Hmph, what does Fu Sichen mean by saying that their acting skills are equal? His acting skills were far better than that guy whosest name was Fu! The only thing that Fu Sichen did until now, was study and learn from him!
This was how Pei Zhen exined why Fu Sichen kept watching shows that he had acted in.
If Fu Sichen knew about all of Pei Zhen¡¯s thoughts and misunderstandings¡ then he¡¯d probably want to kill somebody. But, at least for now, Pei Zhen was satisfied by the conclusion that he had drawn.
He lifted his head to look Fu Sichen in the eyes again. This time, he didn¡¯t feel guilty at all. He even took a confident step backwards in the hopes of letting Best Actor Fu have a better view of the screen.
Here you go. Watch me act as much as you want. Feel free to learn from my skills as much as possible. Your Daddy¡¯s acting skills are at the epitome of excellence, so it¡¯s good that you want to improve yourself.
¡°Wang Youquan.¡± Fu Sichen suddenly said in a low voice, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a variety show about pets? Can you help me get in contact with them?¡±
Wang Youquan stopped for a while, ¡°Yes, yes. But¡¡± Didn¡¯t you end up rejecting their offer, right off the bat?
¡°Tell them that I¡¯m in.¡± Fu Sichen turned and walked out, ¡°I want to participate.¡±
Wang Youquan was left speechless.
Pei Zhen was left speechless too.
What¡¯s wrong with Best Actor Fu? Why is he so interested in little animals all of a sudden!?
But s, Fu Sichen had never been a person that exined his decisions or actions.
After walking out of the room, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but type something into the inte search bar.
[Is it possible for a man to be a cat?]
After typing out this question, Fu Sichen stared at the word ¡°be.¡± For a long time, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to hit the search button.
He must be out of his mind.
This was reality, not some kind of novel. How could something so strange happen in real life?

Chapter 64: He Can Only Be Mine
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Even when Best Actor Fu was thinking about other things, his acting was still top-notch.
When they started filming again, Lin Yousu had finally gotten into the role. This meant that they were finally on track to finish filming, atst.
¡°As expected of Best Actor Fu.¡± After the director yelled cut, Lin Yousu quickly walked up to Fu Sichen. She had a big smile on her face that made her eyes curve into the shape of crescent moons, ¡°I really learn a lot when I¡¯m filming with you.¡±
Fu Sichen looked Lin Yousu expressionlessly. Even his reply was perfunctory; he only gave a simple grunt of agreement.
¡°I also saw Pei Zhen¡¯s acting.¡± After failing to get Fu Sichen respond to her, Lin Yousu tried to bring up another topic, ¡°If I do say so myself, even if Pei Zhen got really lucky, he still wouldn¡¯t have be Best Actor. No matter what, the position of Best Actor would always be yours, Sichen.¡±
This up anding leadingdy had already be a veteran of the entertainment circle. The way that she transitioned between topics was extremely natural. Furthermore, she had even boldly addressed Fu Sichen as Sichen.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¯s acting?¡± Fu Sichenughed coldly before saying rather sarcastically, ¡°If Pei Zhen had been the female lead today, then we would have finished filming in an hour.¡±
Lin Yousu immediately turned red out of embarrassment.
No matter what, Lin Yousu was an up anding female actress who was in high demand. On any given day, there would be people fighting to be at her beck and call. But, when it came to Fu Sichen¡?
She couldn¡¯t get close to him at all! Fu Sichen was way out of her league!
She had already taken the initiative to extend an olive branch. However, not only did Lin Yousu not manage to establish a good rtionship with Fu Sichen, she had even managed to step on Fu Sichen¡¯s sensitive points.
For example, making derisive remarks about Pei Zhen.
In all probability, the only reason why Fu Sichen didn¡¯t hit Lin Yousu was because she was a woman.
Completely ignoring the look on Lin Yousu¡¯s face, Fu Sichen turned around to head into the changing room. At this point, Wang Youquan came out of the room with the Persian cat in his arms. He ended up identally running into Lin Yousu. Without even greeting him, the up anding leadingdy Lin Yousu red at him angrily before turning around and storming away.
¡°Ugh, Fu Sichen!¡± Lin Yousu cried angrily as she entered her own changing room. ¡°He¡¯s really too much!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to bother too much with him. We can always release our own story.¡± Lin Yousu¡¯s manager schemed, ¡°I mean, the fact that the Persian cat used to be yours is undeniably true.¡±
The minute that Fu Sichen posted anything about his Persian cat, Lin Yousu could also take the chance to announce that the cat used to be her pet.
All they needed to do was inject ambiguity into the whole situation, sensationalizing the entire incident. This would definitely attract fans while also helping Lin Yousu get more publicity.
¡°But¡¡± Lin Yousu was still hesitating, ¡°Would Fu Sichen allow us to use him like that?¡±
¡°Why wouldn¡¯t he?¡± The manager didn¡¯t think it was a problem at all, ¡°He can¡¯t deny that you were the Persian cat¡¯s original owner. All we would do, is state the truth. Of course, we wouldn¡¯t be able to control how the fans interpret this news¡ You know what I mean?¡±
Lin Yousu thought about it for a while. It seemed to make sense. She looked at her manager before raising an eyebrow, ¡°Have I ever taken a picture with that cat?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already prepared everything.¡± The managerughed.
Good photography required a certain level of technical skill. So, paparazzi had to focus on not only being technically skilled enough to take good pictures, but also having a decent game n.
It took a lot of hard work to bring an idea into fruition.
Fu Sichen still didn¡¯t know what Lin Yousu was thinking. After they finished filming, he had left in a hurry.
Xiao Nian drummed up the courage to follow him.
Nothing particrly bad happened. The only ring thing, was that between him and his Daddy Pei Zhen, there were four or five bodyguards.
¡°Best Actor Fu, I¡¯m innocent, really. I don¡¯t have any hidden motives.¡± Xiao Nian, whose only ulterior motive had been to experience the luxury of private jet service, was ced in a narrow little seat instead. He was almost in tears, feeling the injustice of it all, ¡°Pei Pei is yours!¡±
Emotionlessly, Fu Sichen put up the barrier between the privatepartment and Xiao Nian¡¯s seat. He said, ¡°Of course he¡¯s mine. He can only be mine.¡±

Fu Sichen was fiercely possessive when it came to the Persian cat.
The steady rise of the poprity of variety shows had been the inevitable result of the development and growth of the entertainment industry.
Even though Fu Sichen had participated in variety shows in the past, he tended to choose ones that had educational value.
For example, he would go on shows like ¡°Repairing Cultural Relics at a Museum,¡± which obviously had very little entertainment value.
¡°Do you really want to participate in ¡°Pets at War?¡± Wang Youquan still didn¡¯t believe that Fu Sichen would make such a decision. ¡°You¡¯re not joking, right?¡±
Without even lifting his head, Fu Sichen said in an extremely cold manner, ¡°If you ask me one more time, then I won¡¯t do it anymore.¡±
¡°Okay, okay, fine.¡± This statement made Wang Youquan nervous enough to stop questioning Fu Sichen. He quickly sent a message to the program¡¯s crew. The program¡¯s crew was obviously shocked as well, immediately sending over a voice message request.
If Fu Sichen had really epted their invitation, then their viewership would definitely shoot through the roof!
This was a rare opportunity. Not only did it almost move Wang Youquan to tears, but it also almost moved the program¡¯s crew tears as well. The more they discussed the details of their cooperation, the more excited the two parties got. Wang Youquan had even started to sound like a whimper!
¡°Right, let¡¯s have a happy coboration¡ I also hope that Best Actor Fu will do more programs like this in the future. He¡¯s really good at helping shows make money, but he always refuses to go on variety shows¡¡±
The longer the conversation got, the topics that they talked about started to get more and more ridiculous. They had even started specting about the reason for Fu Sichen¡¯s sudden enlightenment. Wang Youquan felt like if he could discover the reason, then he could start making more money.
However, because of his mischievous actions, Great Manager Wang was also relegated to the other side of the barrier. He ended up having to cuddle together with Great Manager Xiao in a small and narrow seat.
Fu Sichen had started to sew another pet suit for the Persian cat.
Even something as domestic as sewing didn¡¯t seem feminine when Fu Sichen was doing it. His long fingers with their pointy joints were very skilled at tailoring the little pieces of fabric.
Compared to the Fu Sichen¡¯s amateur-like sewing when they were in high school, his work was evidently a lot more neat and beautiful now.
Pei Zhen slowly got bored. He had initially been watching Fu Sichen sew, but he had gotten sleepy. Hence, he curled up into a ball and shut his eyes.
While he was falling asleep, Fu Sichen ended up picking him up and cuddling him in his arms. Pei Zhen frowned inwardly, but managed to keep up appearances.
Pei Zhen also didn¡¯t know why Fu Sichen ended up deciding to appear on the variety show about pets.
Pei Zhen had always loved little animals from a young age. Even though the way he spoke was harsh, his heart was soft.
Cats and dogs were all precious lives to him. Therefore, he felt like it was only reasonable to treat them with kindness.
It was because of this that Pei Zhen decided to cooperate with Fu Sichen. Even though he would have to be in the same camera frame as Fu Sichen when filming for ¡°Pets at War,¡± it was a valuable opportunity for him to spread the message of animal protection.
Sigh¡ Why did he turn into a cat? He was such a good man¡ Sometimes, the gods could be really unfair.
Despite all of the measures that were in ce, the roar of the ne engine was still loud and bothersome. Pei Zhen still couldn¡¯t fall asleep even after closing his eyes for a while.
Besides these convoluted thoughts, he also had a shameful ideae to mind.
The embrace of his sworn rival was actually ratherfortable¡ He felt unexpectedly protected inside Fu Sichen¡¯s arms.
After theynded back in Donghai City, Fu Sichen immediately went to another film crew. He didn¡¯t even have time to rest.
Even though the life of a celebrity seemed morous, it was actually a lot of hard work. The industry norm was to have work lined up back to back. Therefore, most of the time, many celebrities usually only had four or five hours to sleep.
Whenever Fu Sichen turned up to film, his fans would always be hot on his heels.
Hence, when Fu Sichen got out of his minivan with the Persian cat, his fans were in a frenzy. Not only were they in a frenzy for Fu Sichen, but they were also in a frenzy for his cat.
¡°Darling! Please take a photograph together! I want you to hug Pei Pei like a mother hen would hug her chicks!¡±

Chapter 66: I¡¯m Okay With Bestiality Now
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Best Actor Fu¡¯s fans were definitely jealous of the Persian cat. But even then, they still felt like the cat was cute. Not to mention, their idol loved the cat too!
¡°A, the cat looks so cute up close!¡±
¡°Cute, he¡¯s really too cute! I just want to sleep with that cat!¡±
¡°You¡¯re not even letting a cat off the hook, hahaha. If I can¡¯t sleep with Best Actor Fu, then maybe I can try sleeping with his cat?¡±
Even though the remarks made Pei Zhen angry, they were still within the limits of his tolerance level. However, after a fan shouted out ¡°Hug Pei Pei like a mother hen would hug her chicks,¡± Pei Zhen the cat almost exploded!
¡°Hug him like a mother hen?¡± Fu Sichen grabbed the cat from underneath his front legs, holding him high up in the sky. ¡°Like this?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± The crowd went wild again. ¡°Oh my god! They look so good together!¡±
¡°Actually, I think I¡¯m okay with bestiality now.¡±
¡°+1, give us more of this spiritual sustenance! I suddenly feel really hungry!¡±
¡°+10086!¡±
The fans had grown too crazy. Pei Zhen was most shocked about theirments on bestiality.
These people were simply out of their minds! How could they even think of a man and an animal having sex?! What kind of perverse ck holes did their brains contain?!
Not to mention, the thing that made Pei Zhen most sad, wasn¡¯t even this! It was that he felt like this crowd of fans was imagining him as the bottom!
How shameful!
Even if they were going to have a rtionship that crossed the species boundary, it was obvious that he, Pei Zhen, was the top!
The more Pei Zhen thought about it, the angrier he became. Not only had he lost his dignity, but he was just as mad about the ¡°mother hen¡± remark. So, he started struggling even more fiercely, waving his ws around wildly. After he found that he was unable to scratch Fu Sichen, he turned around and tried to bite him.
Fu Sichen was actually in a rather good mood.
By now, it was evident that the cat in his embrace could understand humannguage. The way that it widened its eyes in anger was so cute that Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help his heart from melting into a pool of water. He turned the cat around, and immediately, kissed Pei Pei on the lips.
Kiss¡
When Pei Zhen felt the sudden warmth cover his lips, he could only think of one word¡ª kiss. Immediately following this thought, a wild round of cheering and shrieking could be hearding from the crowd.
¡°Ahhhhhh! I¡¯m going to pass out!!!¡±
Their long-time idol had finally announced his lover for the first time¡ª a fluffy, white Persian cat [funny.jpg]! For these fans, they preferred Fu Sichen being in a rtionship with a cat than with a human being!
Inparison to the ¡°Loner Best Actor¡± notion, ¡°Man-animal coupling¡± was a treat to the fans.
¡°Shooting¡¯s about to start.¡± Of course, the kiss was a light and fleeting one. Fu Sichen scooped the stunned cat into his embrace, and gently bade his fans goodbye, ¡°See you again soon.¡±
Once Fu Sichen gave the signal to go, Wang Youquan did his duty as the manager and kept order. He also attended to the fans¡¯ departure.
Although the fans weren¡¯t given a lot of interaction time with Fu Sichen, they were quite satisfied.
While other celebrities might worry about not looking good in the random street-taken pictures¡ªand therefore usually request that fans deleted their photographs¡ªboth Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen on the other hand, would not.
The fans had taken many pictures, and they started to post them on social media as soon as they left. There were loads of ¡°My sweetheart is so dashing¡±, ¡°Every inch is handsome¡± and such shrieking. Among the fans, there was also a poption of Fujoshi.
Fujoshi were not the scary thing; the scary thing was that the Fujoshi were good at drawing.
For a time, imaginative drawings of Best Actor Fu with the Persian cat started to make the rounds in the gay circle. There were even gay depictions where the cat took on a human form.
Pei Zhen had not yet seen these products. Of course, if he did see them in his current state, he¡¯d probably kill both himself and Fu Sichen!
Kiss!
Fu Sichen actually kissed him again!
¡°Best Actor Fu, since you¡¯ve kissed the cat, I¡¯m sure you wouldn¡¯t mind filming kissing scenes?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In all his years as an actor, Fu Sichen had never really filmed kissing scenes. He either didn¡¯t take on the assignment or shot from a false perspective.
That was the reason that gossip published about Fu Sichen with a female celebrity caused his fans to get fired up.
¡°To conquer Best Actor Fu, first, conquer his first on-screen kiss.¡±
¡°There wasn¡¯t even a kiss. What scandal? Our decent idol would never entertain this!¡±
Best Actor Fu had been saving his first kiss; who knew whom he was saving it for. It left everyone guessing. In the end, unexpectedly, it was given to a cat.
The crew assistant saw the interaction between Fu Sichen and his fans. She was very excited and immediately went to tell the Director.
Perhaps, Best Actor Fu was enlightened!
Best Actor Fu had even kissed a cat, for sure, he¡¯d kiss a female co-star!
Best Actor Fu¡¯s first on-screen kiss would be sure to make the inte¡¯s hot search list!
The crew workers started to get really imaginative. Unable to contain themselves, they went to Fu Sichen and gave him suggestions on the ¡®kissing movie¡¯ with hope and anticipation written all over their faces.
¡°Okay, I will be sure to make use of false perspective,¡± said Fu Sichen.
The Director and his assistant were speechless.
The actress standing at the side was almost in tears, and humbly pleaded, ¡± Director, I¡¯ve never dreamed of being the one to take away Best Actor Fu¡¯s first screen kiss, I only want to do a good job, honestly.¡±
As Best Actor, even if Fu Sichen made no demands, the film crew would still be attentive in every way towards him.
Fu Sichen received a make-shift resting room, even if he was only making a friendly appearance as a guest-star.
The Persian cat had scratched him when he carried it with him to the resting room. It was fortunate that the costume covered his arms, as the new wound made over the old wound looked rather messy and provided quite a visual shock.
¡°What do you want to watch?¡± Fu Sichen automatically turned on the iPad, ¡°Still your Daddy Pei Zhen¡¯s dramas?¡±
¡°Daddy my foot!¡± Thought Pei Zhen, ¡°Being one¡¯s own daddy is arrogantly stupid!¡±
Completely ignoring his sworn enemy, Pei Zhen turned and looked through the window to the skies outside, his eyes distant and sad.
What did he need to do to be human again?
Since he didn¡¯t want to watch any movies, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t persist and put the iPad down.
Fu Sichen turned to look at the cat.
The white Persian cat was exquisite, ssy and looked incredibly cute.
He hadn¡¯t been with Fu Sichen for very long, and yet already upied a big space in his heart. Thinking back on the recent days spent with the cat, Fu Sichen suddenly felt a tightness in his throat. He couldn¡¯t help himself and called out, ¡°Pei Zhen¡¡±
The cat, who had not had anyone call him by that name for the longest time, nearly jumped out of his own skin.
He almost turned his head in response to Fu Sichen!
¡°I¡¡± Seeing no reaction from the Persian cat, Fu Sichen rubbed his forehead, his smile unable to hide the sense of helplessness he felt. ¡°Why am I dreaming?¡±
Cats were cats; how could they have been human beings?
Giving his face a hard rub, Fu Sichen tried hard to calm his emotions. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital to see Daddy Pei Zhen this evening.¡±
The man-cat deity Pei Zhen was silent.
He wasn¡¯t quite sure how best to react. In the end, he gave a meow, and that seemed to have sent Fu Sichen away. Pei Zhen then turned on the iPad and quickly logged into his QQ ount.
[The Great Daddy Pei Zhen]: My dear son, take it as your father begging you, find me that Shaman!
Xiao Nian was on his way home and replied quickly.
[Martian Baby Xiao Nian Xiao Nian]: Daddy, a Shaman is easy to find; a trustworthy Shaman is rare!
After the big star Best Actor Fu, Pei Zhen was in a position that far surpassed most others. Xiao Nian, therefore, was cautious not to be too explicit with details while hunting for the right Shaman.
Besides, people who had read a little I-Ching would im that they¡¯re an expert. Xiao Nian was really troubled.
Before he could type a few words tofort Pei Zhen, he received a call.
Chapter 68 - Not Suitable For Kids

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The call was from Fu Sichen.
Ever since the cat-theft incident, Xiao Nianmented about Pei Zhen using his mobile phone to send the text messages that got him into trouble. Despite that, he screen-grabbed their conversations; he hadn¡¯t been able to help himself.
In the distant future, when he would no longer be in the entertainment circle, he would be able to show and brag to others about how he ¡°managed¡± his artist.
The daydream that he conjured up was beautiful. Only, when Fu Sichen¡¯s call came, the morous picture of a proud hero he created for himself immediately self-destructed.
Why was Best Actor Fu calling him?
Was he still sore about him stealing the cat?
He had already admitted it was all his fault.
There was no need for ountability on Pei Zhen¡¯s part at all. Xiao Nian was going to pick up the call with his trembling hand, but s, mistakenly switched off his mobile phone instead.
Xiao Nian panicked.
He pressed the off switch of his mobile phone without hesitating. He stared at the ck screen and slowly calmed down. ¡°Phew, what a scare.¡±
¡°Sorry, the number you have dialed is not avable¡¡±
When he tried calling again, he got the same cold voice message. Fu Sichen frowned. He couldn¡¯t understand why Xiao Nian didn¡¯t pick up the call.
¡°Best Actor Fu.¡± The make-up artist was a youngdy. She both idolized and was in awe of Fu Sichen and spoke in a low voice, ¡°I-it¡¯s time to do your make-up.¡±
Fu Sichen put away his mobile phone with an unchanging expression. ¡°Okay.¡±
The genre of the movie was fantasy, and Fu Sichen was guest starring as an ancient god. When he appeared in his white costumepleted with long white hair, his female fans once again gasped audibly.
Fu Sichen looked far, far better in real life than in the photographs.
The background story of the fantasy movie was that the female lead was a nine-tailed fox spirit, and hence there were quick transformations between human and fox spirit forms during the filming. As Fu Sichen stared at the Samoyed who doubled as the fox spirit, he fell into deep thought.
¡°Don¡¯t think of it as just a Samoyed; special effects will definitely turn it into a fox!¡± The Director reminded them.
Fu Sichen looked on silently.
Seeing Fu Sichen being so quiet, the Director added, ¡°Really! The special effects team came at a high price, and they are superb!¡±
Fu Sichen creased his brows and asked purposefully, ¡°In real life, could human beings turn into animals?¡±
¡°What?¡± The Directorughed and thought Fu Sichen was joking. ¡°Not possible. The authorities passed a regtion that after 1949, animals would not be allowed to turn into spirits.¡±
Fu Sichen fell silent again.
Whatever it was, after an afternoon of filming, it was a wrap for Fu Sichen. After saying goodbye to the filming crew, he took his cat and left.
Avoiding the fans, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t get into the passenger seat and took the driver seat instead.
Following close behind him, Wang Youquan, who also served as Fu Sichen¡¯s bodyguard called out, ¡°Sichen?¡±
Fu Sichen secured the Persian cat with the seat belt. ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital.¡±
¡°My great Fu Sichen, what about me?¡± asked Wang Youquan.
¡°You have a pair of legs.¡±
With swift movements, Fu Sichen put on his own seat belt and decisively stepped on the elerator, leaving his manager in a cloud of exhaust fumes.
The abandoned Wang Youquan was at the verge of tears. But before he could even think of the swear words to use, the assistant¡¯s call for help came in.
¡°Big brother Wang, Fu Sichen has made the hot search list; and Sichen¡¯s cat has made the hot search list. And Fu Sichen¡¯s cat¡¯s ex-owner has made the hot search list as well!¡±
¡°What?¡± Wang Youquan was puzzled.
Fu Sichen sped all the way to the hospital.
As he had called before the visit, the nurses on duty were prepared and managed to keep their emotions under control when they saw him.
¡°How is Pei Zhen?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Fu Sichen, his physical functions are all normal.¡± They updated Fu Sichen with thetest report. Upon reaching the room, Fu Sichen turned to shut the door. The nurses were puzzled. ¡°Fu Sichen?¡±
¡°What is going to happen next is not suitable for kids.¡±

¡°N-not suitable for kids?¡±
The nurse¡¯s shocked reaction did nothing to stop Fu Sichen. Without hesitating, he mmed the door shut with a bang. That finally made the stunned cat react with a start.
What on earth was not suitable for kids, what was Fu Sichen up to?
He stared helplessly at Fu Sichen, who was walking towards the bed. At that moment a million potential tragic scenes shed through Pei Zhen¡¯s mind. He imagined Fu Sichen doing this and that to his body.
¡°Damned pervert!¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s nerves were wrecked by his imagination, even before Fu Sichen had done anything. Unable to control himself, he charged towards Fu Sichen,pletely unstoppable.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t notice the Persian cat charging up behind him.
He had been missing Pei Zhen during the two days of filming.
Even though he had hired nursing aids, he was still worried.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the assignment schedule was so tight, Fu Sichen would havee to the hospital right after the private jetnded.
Leaning over, he positioned his arms to lift Pei Zhen¡¯s body horizontally. Just as he was about to straighten up, he saw the Persian cating at him out of the corner of his eye, and reflexively turned sideways to avoid him.
Pei Zhen was too fast.
As Fu Sichen took a step to the side, he couldn¡¯t react in time and failed to ovee the inertia. With a thud, he fell under the bed and slid out the other side, skidding until he mmed against the opposite wall.
Bang!
There was a loud crash during the collision. Fu Sichen was stunned, and so was Pei Zhen. Then, Pei Zhen¡¯s head exploded in pain.
¡°Damn! Damn! Damn!¡±
He meowed pitifully. He forgot that someone was watching. He raised his paws and clutched at his head with hind legs on the ground. He was bent over and almost in tears.
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Fu Sichen was shocked. He stopped worrying about Pei Zhen¡¯s physical body and hurried over to the cat. ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Pei Zhen was in too much pain to pay any attention to Fu Sichen. Pei Pei¡¯s paws were still clutching at his head, and after hesitating for a bit, Fu Sichen forcefully pried them away.
Is everything okay?
The swelling was so massive that the fur couldn¡¯t hide it.
All the best doctors in Dong Hai city¡¯s number one hospital gathered in the VIP ward. But it wasn¡¯t because of a death in the room.
It was because of a cat.
A cat that was foolish to the point of hitting its own head.
¡°B-Best Actor Fu.¡± The lead doctor was sweating like crazy. ¡°I-it¡¯s like this¡ We are here to treat patients.¡±
And shouldn¡¯t cats be treated by vets?!
Fu Sichen looked at the cat in his arms. He saw that the cat¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and it caused his heart to ache. But when meeting with the doctors, he wore his usual cold expression, saying, ¡°Humans and animals are equal.¡±
What he meant was that since they were treating human beings, they should simrly treat animals.
¡°It¡¯s not like that, Best Actor Fu.¡± It was rare for the doctors to encounter such a stubborn VIP, and they weren¡¯t prepared to respond. ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to do treatment, but animals are different from humans.¡±
¡°Huh.¡± Fu Sichen didn¡¯t want to hear the lead doctor¡¯s exnation and gave a coldugh. ¡°Mediocre doctors.¡±
All of them fell silent.
People often said that celebrities were mild and courteous on the surface but liked to push their weight around. However, the top-rated doctors didn¡¯t expect that the particr Best Actor in front of them didn¡¯t throw his weight around; he was just a little unintelligent.
¡°Coming, Coming.¡± The Head Nurse¡¯s voice finally broke the awkward silence. ¡°The vet ising.¡±
The vet was a middle-aged man who had never attended to a night call. He was panting as he walked up. Looking at the room full of doctors, he was a little stunned.
W-what sort ofplex treatment was this, to require the presence of so many doctors?
¡°What are you staring nkly for?¡± A deep, cold voice sounded out. The man carrying the cat was dashing as a Greek god. ¡°Are you waiting for my sweetheart to die from the pain?¡±

It was only a knock against the wall. Even if it were a more severe knock, the physical ability of animals would allow them to recover shortly after suffering the bout of pain.
The vet they had summoned was an experienced one, and he was able to diagnose the problem quickly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. It¡¯ll be fine tomorrow after a little rest.¡±
The vet was casual about the cat¡¯s condition and had wanted to bring the matter to a close. He snapped his first aid box shut. But when he looked up, he was greeted by Fu Sichen¡¯s extremely icy stare. It threw him off, and he nervously said, ¡°M-Mr. Fu Sichen¡¡±
Fu Sichen was stone-faced. ¡°It was a very hard knock.¡±
¡°What? B-but¡¡± But it was just a cat. The aplished vet started to doubt himself.
Was he too careless? Unprofessional? Or did he miss anything?
¡°T-this¡¡± Fu Sichen was indeed exerting a lot of pressure, and the vet started to babble nervously, ¡°Indeed. Indeed it was a serious knock. L-let me take another look at him.¡±
Trembling as he re-opened his first aid box, the vet took out his case notes. He didn¡¯t dare to make a diagnosis too quickly and fumbled around for about five minutes. Then, he spoke very cautiously, ¡°T-there¡¯s a bit of a concussion. But he will be fine after an injection and some medication.¡±
Normally, if a cat had a concussion, the symptoms would include apleteck of energy and extreme cidity; it would not be able to stand up or ingest food.
The vet did observe the big swelling on the Persian cat¡¯s head, but from his understanding of animals, the cat was merely in pain.
It was definitely not a concussion.
When the vet mentioned the word ¡®injection,¡¯ the Persian cat struggled energetically, confirming his suspicion.
But Fu Sichen was convinced by thetter diagnosis.
He was worried and felt that if nothing was done, the Persian cat¡¯s health would bepromised.
The Persian cat in his arms struggled furiously. Fu Sichen wanted to subdue it but didn¡¯t dare to assert too much strength. He could only try to calm it in a low voice, ¡°Good boy, just a jab and it will all be fine.¡±
Pei Zhen was furious. ¡°You son of a b****!!!¡±
He was afraid of injections.
Everyone had their own fears, and it just happened that he was afraid of needles¡ªit was normal! He was afraid as a human, and that didn¡¯t change when he turned into a cat.
Pei Zhen the cat cried fiercely and struggled violently. The vet perspired just looking at him and wished he could take back what he said. Best Actor Fu, there is nothing wrong with your cat!
¡°Doesn¡¯t an injection require a needle? Where is it?¡± Fu Sichen reserved his gentle side for the cat. When he addressed the vet, he was once again as cold as a snowstorm. ¡°Do you use words to inject?¡±
¡°I-I¡¯ll prepare right away.¡± The mercilessly-insulted vet quickly looked through the medicines. After thinking for a bit, he picked out a vial of vitamins. ¡°M-Mr. Fu Sichen, may I trouble you to hold him down.¡±
¡°Not a problem,¡± said the cold Mr. Fu Sichen, ¡°if he dares to struggle, you can spay him immediately.¡±
Cruel! Severe! Emotionless!
Initially, the vet wanted to chide Fu Sichen¡ªAs if the cat really understood humannguage. It wasn¡¯t as though it would stop struggling just because he said so. But, miraculously, the Persian cat calmed down.
The cat tensed its body and was breathing heavily, but there wasn¡¯t a single movement. It was obviously trying to control itself.
The vet was secretly amazed. Without hesitating, he inserted the needle into the cat.
Pei Zhen was almost in tears.
No matter how many injections he had experienced, it was painful. And it was painful all over.
¡°It¡¯s just a small prick.¡± Fu Sichen found it both painful and funny seeing the cat tearing up. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a man?¡±
Pei Zhen could not tolerate the teasing, and wanted to gnaw him to death!

The inspired scheme had not seeded on Fu Sichen. On the contrary, it had backfired on Pei Zhen, and he regretted it to no end.
Pei Zhen almost died during the injection.
The vet felt obligated to dispense medicine to please Fu Sichen and did so. With the episode finally over, the doctors were relieved and quickly went back to their work.
People were of different sses in society, and so were cats.
At least, the assumption was that most pets would want to be Fu Sichen¡¯s cat.
That sort of owner was especially great!
¡°Everything¡¯s fine now.¡± Pei Zhenid there, spent. His eyes were still damp with tears. Fu Sichen looked at him and couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°How uncanny.¡±
There was a young man in his memory who was also terrified of injections.
Furthermore, the youth coulde up with dozens of different excuses to get out of injections¡ªan allergy to penicillin, an inauspicious date on the traditional Chinese calendar, etc.
Coming back from his thoughts, Fu Sichen looked at the cat in his arms. He lowered his head instinctively and blew gently on the swelling on the cat¡¯s head.
The puff of air was gentle and warm. Pei Zhen was agitated and shuddered.
H-he¡ what on earth was he doing!
What sort of sensation was that. Pei Zhen feltpletely out of order. His heart was pounding, and his face was hot¡ªhe was flushed all over.
¡°Fu Sichen!¡±
This unfamiliar feeling made Pei Zhen nervous. He meowed once, and hurriedly escaped from Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace. With big strides, he ran as far as possible. From a distance, he glowered at Fu Sichen.
In the time that he had been a cat, Pei Zhen had been subject to plenty of shame, but it was the first time he felt even half-shy!
Fu Sichen could not understand.
The man and Persian cat stared each other in the eyes for a while. He had only blown a puff of air, and the cat acted like it had been electrocuted. What was going on?
¡°No more pain?¡± Fu Sichen thought for a while and concluded that the cat was too hyperactive. It must have recovered after the injection. He instructed, ¡°Don¡¯t you get jealous of your daddy. I like you a lot too.¡±
Excuse me? When was he ever jealous???
¡°I¡¯ll bathe Pei Zhen first, and then it will be your turn.¡± Hepletely misunderstood that the Persian cat was jealous when he came charging up like a cannon. Fu Sichen even sounded logical. ¡°Your dad will not abandon you.¡±
The cat blinked.
Pei Zhen was absolutely livid.
This was madness!
What jealousy?!
All he wanted to do was gnaw Fu Sichen to death!
He could not imagine how twisted Fu Sichen¡¯s brain was and watched helplessly as Fu Sichen walked towards the bed. When he bent over to lift Pei Zhen¡¯s body, he added on purpose, ¡°I¡¯m going to bathe your daddy, and you¡¯re not allowed to be jealous.¡±
Shut up for heaven¡¯s sake! Rawrrrr!
There was no way to preserve his innocence any longer. Pei Zhen was mad and didn¡¯t want to watch the unfolding scene. He turned his back angrily, pretending not to see how Fu Sichen was holding his human body like a princess!
Unfortunately, the more Pei Zhen acted like that, the more Fu Sichen perceived his actions as jealousy. As he carried Pei Zhen¡¯s body to the bathroom, he couldn¡¯t help but put on a regretful look.
Indeed, he was a talented pet owner.
Smiling slightly, Fu Sichen shifted his gaze to theatose man in his arms.
¡°Pei Zhen, I have a pet cat now.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, didn¡¯t you like little animals?¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, call me big brother once more, and I¡¯ll give you this cat.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡±
He whispered as his gaze fell on the man¡¯s lips. Soft¡

The murmuring of running water could be hearding from the bathroom. After a short time, it stopped, but Fu Sichen did not appear.
Initially angry, Pei Zhen had calmed down. He trotted with uncertainty towards the bathroom.
It was past midnight. Xiao Nian was falling asleep when a call came in.
It was his Daddy Pei Zhen.
Daddy Pei was now a cat, and couldn¡¯t speak in humannguage. It was useless calling.
Xiao Nian pulled himself out of his sleepy state, hung up the phone and logged in to his QQ ount.
[The Great Daddy Pei]: I can¡¯t take this anymore!!!
[The Great Daddy Pei]: Xiao Nian! If you love me, take me with you!
[The Great Daddy Pei]: If I can leave, I¡¯ll give you whatever you want¨Cwealth, myself!
Xiao Nian was startled.
He was in a blurry state of sleepiness, but after hearing the phrase ¡®take me with you,¡¯ he became wide awake.
[Martian Baby Xiao Nian Nian]: Daddy, what¡¯s wrong? Daddy, if you love me, don¡¯t run away with me. Daddy, I made a vow that if I ever took you away again, you would never be Best Actor!¡±
Pei Zhen swore at the other end of the line.
He returned from the hospital and was back in Fu Sichen¡¯s apartment. On the way out of the hospital, Wang Youquan had called to say that someone had taken advantage of Fu Sichen to gain poprity.
Who gave a damn?!
Pei Zhen was feeling extremely agitated and explosive!
[Martian Baby Xiao Nian Nian]: Daddy, you have to be careful. Do you have so much freedom now to write love letters to me as you wish?
Love letters my foot!
Pei Zhen was in Fu Sichen¡¯s room, and Fu Sichen was in the living room making a call. Pei Zhen was not interested in the content of the call.
All he could think about was the scene he saw the moment he stepped into the bathroom.
Fu Sichen was holding Pei Zhen¡¯s body very close.
With one hand he held Pei Zhen and ced the other hand behind Pei Zhen¡¯s head. He was kissing Pei Zhen.
It was a beautiful scene and recalling it gave Pei Zhen something close to a heart attack.
Damn!
I¡¯ll be damned!
Pei Zhen was feelingpletely savage, and he couldn¡¯t care less about what Xiao Nian was telling him. Paws on his waist and tall on his hind feet, he paced back and forth on the bed.
Annoying!
It was killing him.
Pei Zhen¡¯s emotions were in disarray. One moment his paw was on his forehead; the next moment he was cursing and swearing. In a careless move, his pawnded on the swelling on his forehead, making him cry out in pain.
¡°Lin Yousu said she was Pei Pei¡¯s ex-owner? Taking advantage of the situation to gain fame? Is that all there is?¡±
Outside, a male voice sounded out¨Cit was cold and expressionless. The tone was deep and very seductive.
It failed to seduce Pei Zhen.
He clutched at the tablemp, and then swept it off the table fiercely. Themp flew and crashed against the door with a loud and piercing sound.
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Fu Sichen heard the sound and immediately walked over. He saw the tablemp on the floor and looked in the direction of the bed.
The white Persian cat didn¡¯t bother to look at him, and it buried into the nket in his characteristic manner. With his paws, he pulled up the nket and went to sleep.
Fu Sichen frowned.
¡°Lin Yousu isn¡¯t after Pei Pei for sure.¡± Wang Youquan, who was on the other end of the line was dying from not stating his piece. He couldn¡¯t understand it. How was it that the usually astute Fu Sichen would lose all his emotional intelligence when he was around the feline. ¡°She is taking advantage. Sichen, do you want to make a statement. There are already spammers starting gossips that you two are dating.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± As long as she was not after the Persian cat, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t be bothered. ¡°Let her do what she wants.¡±
People who dared to scandalize him often ended up being torn apart by his fans.
And it wasn¡¯t the first time that someone tried to steal thunder using Fu Sichen. Although calm, after some thought, he finally decided to release a Weibo message.
[He only has a Dad].

It seemed Fu Sichen had been actively posting on Weibo more often.
It was just that thetest picture he posted was of the cat, like the previous ones, and it caused the fans a little disappointment.
The picture was a candid and casual one.
The white Persian cat was lying in the nket, just like a human, with both his paws ced outside of it. He was at rest, with his eyes closed. The warm yellow lighting gently illuminated the cat¡ªthe cuteness waspletely oozing out of the scene!
The picture of the cat earned more than a few shrieks, and Best Actor Fu¡¯s strong statement simrly got people imagining things.
¡°Only has a Dad? What does that mean? Was that a hint of some previous owner?¡±
¡°Some actress is really¡ tsk tsk, bullying my sweetheart into posting more pictures.¡±
¡°I say. Why would my idol need a pre-owned cat? He¡¯s wealthy, and it¡¯s not as if he cannot afford a Persian cat?¡±
¡°Do you notice something wrong about Pei Pei. Am I the only one who noticed the swelling on his head?¡±
The sharp-eyedizens spotted and circled the top of the Persian cat¡¯s head. More and more people began to sympathize, and in turn, they scolded Lin Yousu.
It was bad enough to take advantage of Fu Sichen and ride on his poprity, worse still to take advantage when the cat was injured!
Of course, the Netizens¡¯ sense of logic could be questionable. But trying to reason with moronic fans was an impossible thing to do.
Hence, Lin Yousu¡¯s not-quite-there and misleading scandal died without having seen the light of day.
¡°What the hell!¡± There was a sudden deluge of angry remarks on Weibo, and it was all in defense of a cat. It caused Lin Yousu to panic. ¡°What is wrong with Fu Sichen! He never issued any statements or responded to scandals about himself in the past!¡±
Lin Yousu¡¯s chest was aching from anger, even more so because she was the Persian cat¡¯s ex-owner. And that was a fact!
¡°This Fu Sichen¡¡± Lin Yousu¡¯s manager was stunned too. ¡°How could he do this?¡±
The remark ¡°He only has a Dad¡± was a clear drawing of lines between him and Lin Yousu where the cat was concerned. Since the cat only had a Dad, there was nothing to fuel a scandal of a rtionship between the two.
Lin Yousu was so furious that she refused to look at Weibo again.
There was no way to rify the matter at that point. The more she said, the worse the situation would be.
¡°Yousu, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Being opportunistic about this situation was all her idea, and it had backfired. Her manager felt awkward and quickly tried to console her. ¡°Fame achieved hically is still fame¡ also, I heard a piece of news.¡±
¡°What?¡± Lin Yousu glowered.
¡°Fu Sichen is going to take part in the variety show ¡®War of the Pets¡¯. I think you should take part too.¡±
It was best to strike while the iron was hot. Now that she had gained some fame, albeit somewhat hically, perhaps it was time to stir things up and go all the way!
Lin Yousu considered her manager¡¯s words and found his proposal logical. She quickly instructed her manager to contact the programme team.
If she really were to make it into the programme, then during the programme she would definitely be able to prove that she was the ex-owner of Fu Sichen¡¯s cat!
But having said that, because Pei Zhen was angry with Fu Sichen, he was ignoring everyone else as well.
The moment Fu Sichen came near, he would shut his eyes and y dead.
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Fu Sichen looked at the Persian cat after he had posted on his Weibo ount. He raised his sword-like eyebrow. ¡°You kicked over themp?¡±
This cat was getting quite a temper.
When he saw Fu Sichen kissing Pei Zhen at the hospital, his meowing was especially fierce, as though it had pushed his fury to the limit.
¡°What are you angry at.¡± Fu Sichen grabbed the cat by force when he refused to get up. ¡°Me kissing your daddy is most reasonable.¡±

REASONABLE!
The word fell on Pei Zhen¡¯s ears like a roar of thunder. He felt as though he were suffering a heart attack and almost passed out.
¡°Let me go, you scum!¡± Once again a pair of hands reached out and lifted him. Pei Zhen hated himself for being a cat. No matter how much he struggled, he was unable to escape from Fu Sichen¡¯s grip.
Arghhhh!
Angry.
Seriously angry.
Completely misunderstanding Pei Zhen¡¯s fury, Fu Sichen assumed that he was just jealous. With a smile and twinkle in his eyes, heughed. ¡°I kissed your daddy, are you envious?¡±
¡°Envious my foot,¡± thought Pei Zhen.
¡°No need to be envious; everyone has a share.¡±
After saying that, Fu Sichen walked up to the cat. At the prospect of being subject to the terrifying ravage again, Pei Zhen froze.
It was worse than before.
Fu Sichen had just stepped out of filming and hadn¡¯t even removed his makeup. Although he only had a light application of lipstick, the Persian cat was thoroughly white. Right smack on the white was an imprint of Fu Sichen¡¯s lips. Subtly sexy.
Pei Zhen fumed.
Pei Zhen the cat was stiff as a board, his spirit broken and life gone from his eyes. All he wanted to do wasmit suicide.
Fu Sichen!
The stinker!
The pervert!
¡°Alright, are you happy now?¡± Fu Sichen had no idea how angry Pei Zhen was; he had been taken advantage of by Fu Sichen and still had to be on his best behavior. ¡°It¡¯ste. Go to sleep.¡±
He tucked the cat into the bed sheets once more and covered him with a nket. Then he softly cooed, ¡°Why can¡¯t Pei Zhen be like Sleeping Beauty and wake up when the prince kisses him?¡±
Pei Zhen the deity was stunned yet again by the remark.
Oh.
So that kiss at the hospital was really inspired by Sleeping Beauty?!
To sacrifice a kiss for a childhood friend is so unbelievably touching¡ is that what you¡¯re hoping I¡¯d praise you for?
My ass!
Fu Sichen!
Are you stupid!
Pei Zhen was so angry he was on the verge of a heart attack. Hepletely ignored Fu Sichen, flipped his body around so that his back was to Fu Sichen, and shut his eyes.
The Persian cat was quieted.
Fu Sichen felt that perhaps his kiss was working. He reached out and pinched the cat¡¯s ear. Then, feeling satisfied, he turned around and headed back to the bathroom.
He vowed to himself that he¡¯d take good care of the cat.
He also decided that he¡¯d confess his feelings to Pei Zhen, when thetter woke up.
In the past, he worried that his feelings would affect Pei Zhen. However, after Pei Zhen¡¯s ident, Fu Sichen realized that he was afraid¡ªafraid that things would never progress, afraid that they would be separated, afraid to live in regret for the rest of his life.
Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen prayed helplessly, please hurry and wake up.
When work started again for Fu Sichen, his schedule was packed full of assignments.
Amidst the non-stop filming schedule, Fu Sichen had to squeeze time out for the recording of the War of the Pets variety show.
After news leaked that Fu Sichen was going to take part in the variety show, the hot search hits wouldn¡¯t go down. Many fans excitedly made the assumption and imed that in the days toe there would have nock of their idol¡¯s pictures.
Of course, there were spections over the reason why the man was taking part in a variety show. Fans of bestiality took up on that point and had a field day.
¡°It¡¯s definitely because of the cat!¡±
¡°Oh no, this is the end¡ªthe man I love does not love me back.¡±
¡°Hahaha. There¡¯s no need to be sad my friends; we can eat cat kibbles together.¡±
Netizens anticipated the frenzy, but they would never have thought of it as a prophecy. There was no one there to dry their tears.
Of course, there was good news and bad news.
Lin Yousu had also taken part in War of the Pets.
The stir caused by the previous incident of Lin Yousu taking advantage of the Persian cat¡¯s owner had yet to die down. And now hearing that Lin Yousu was also taking part in the variety show, Fu Sichen¡¯s fans were agitated once again.
The bigmotion before the variety show naturally pleased the programme crew. They didn¡¯t actually give two hoots whether the audience was happy. On the contrary, they developed an evil scheme before recording the show, to assign Lin Yousu and Fu Sichen to the same team.

War of The Pets filmed in the city outskirts.
It was apparent by the programme title that the show was about pets. Celebrities would bring their pets onto the show topete, have fun and all that.
It was quite an entertaining programme.
The first season did extremely well by word-of-mouth; hence they had to keep it up for the second season. Apart from the entertainment factor, they included an education element.
Pets were a gift of life, and the decision to adopt a pet came with responsibility until the end. It shouldn¡¯t have been a case of a spur-of-the-moment decision making that ultimately harmed the pet.
The programme both entertained and educated, and the celebrities gained fame and fortune. The coboration was mutually beneficial.
Lin Yousu previously kept the Persian cat for the programme. Only, she hadn¡¯t expected that in the end, the Persian cat would find a new owner.
¡°Fu Sichen.¡± Lin Yousu had a dog in tow; she waved at Fu Sichen. ¡°We meet again. What a coincidence.¡±
Fu Sichen and the cat in his arms stared at her wordlessly.
The unhappy incident of Lin Yousu trying to gain poprity through Fu Sichen was still hanging in the air. It was a loss for both parties. After all, the Persian cat¡¯s ex-owner was really Lin Yousu¡ªthe point went coldly unacknowledged by Fu Sichen.
[He only has a Dad].
Emmmmmm¡
It was a rare y of words by Fu Sichen¡ªhe had secretly meant for ¡®Dad¡¯ to include Pei Zhen.
¡°Fu Sichen, I now have a pet dog.¡± The camera was shooting the scene; hence Lin Yousu had to suppress her unhappiness. She tried to start a conversation with Fu Sichen. ¡°His name is Jack.¡±
Jack was a Husky.
Lin Yousu bought itst minute so that she had a pet.
Lin Yousu bought pets on a whim. Previously, the Persian cat was taken care of by her assistant. But because this time around she had to be on the variety show with her pet, she put in some effort to take care of it for a few days.
It wasmon for cats and dogs to fight. Whenever they came face-to-face with each other, they would prepare for a dizzying showdown. One would start howling, and the other would puff itself up for confrontation.
As expected, the Husky, which was looking everywhere else initially, fixed his gaze the moment he saw Pei Zhen. With a fierce expression, he gave a powerful bark.
¡°Oh.¡± Lin Yousu squatted down and rubbed the dog¡¯s face affectionately when it barked. Sheforted it. ¡°Darling, going by age, Pei Pei is your big brother.¡±
As she said that, Lin Yousu turned to Fu Sichen and gave him a sweet smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so, Best Actor Fu?¡±
The hidden meaning of her words was clear to both of them.
Lin Yousu was hoping that Fu Sichen would at least agree upfront that she was the cat¡¯s ex-owner. But Fu Sichen ignored her, and her Husky was not too happy about the age issue.
¡°I¡¯m your older brother!¡± said the young Husky.
Pei Zhen was full of disdain. ¡°Beyond stupidity.¡±
On hearing Pei Zhen¡¯s remark, the Garfield belonging to the celebrity beside them yawned and repeated what Pei Zhen said. The Inu Shiba two seats down didn¡¯t want to be left out and said the same thing. Then, it started to spread like a gue; all the cats started meowing, and the dogs started barking. Then it all came to a grand finale where a parrot screeched, ¡°Beyond stupidity!¡±
The celebrities were taken aback and wondered what was going on.
So did the directing crew.
The parrot¡¯s owner was terribly embarrassed and turned beet red. ¡°M-my Tiger wouldn¡¯t normally curse and swear.¡±
Everyone kept quiet.
A parrot called Tiger¡ªdid the owner even consider how the bird might feel!
Pei Zhen recovered from his shock and looked at the parrot which was quite a distance away. He shouted across to the bird, ¡°Quite awesome, Brother!¡±
¡°Not at all, not at all,¡± said the parrot.
Human beings wouldn¡¯t understand the catnguage.
However, that wasn¡¯t the case when a parrot spoke.
Hence everyone started tough heartily when they heard the parrot¡¯s remark. The parrot¡¯s owner became the focus of attention and turned bright red from all the teasing. He contemted how the parrot would normally keep quiet when he attempted to tease it, but today it was active and chatty.

There was a reason Lin Yousu brought the Husky.
Since Fu Sichen and his cat were causing her grief, she wanted to bring a dog to scare the Persian cat.
Lin Yousu was not familiar with dogs, but she knew that many young fans liked huskies.
She wanted to grow her fan base through the variety show and hence went along with what was popr with the masses.
However, she found out through that experience that huskies were cute, but that they were also quite unintelligent. Furthermore, they tended to have destructive behaviors!
But the show recording was taking ce soon, and Lin Yousu wasn¡¯t in the mood to make any changes. Anyway, her Husky was a pedigree, and she spent quite a fortune to acquire it.
Since the job of the dog was simply to scare the Persian cat, it didn¡¯t matter what type of dog it was.
Lin Yousu calcted well, hence when the Husky barked at the cat, she only went through the motion of trying to calm it down. In reality, she was hoping to create a bigmotion.
Hopes were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Not only was the Persian cat not frightened, but the Husky¡¯s bark attracted the parrot¡¯s rude remark of ¡®beyond stupidity.¡¯ When the crowdughed, Lin Yousu had no choice but tough along.
A mockingugh.
It seemed as if the parrot directed its insult at her for whatever reason.
After the bout ofughter passed, the variety show director coughed to get everyone¡¯s attention and started to announce the rules of the game. ¡°We¡¯ve written your tasks on pieces of paper hidden around the manor. You will need to work with your pets to find the pieces of paper andplete your tasks! The speed at which youplete your tasks will determine what you and your pets have for dinner tonight.¡±
Most reality shows were simr, as in they had winners and losers; rewards and penalties¡ªthis way, it would increase the ptability of the programme.
There were four to a team in the game.
To increase viewership, Fu Sichen, of course, was ¡®selected¡¯ by Lin Yousu through drawing lots.
¡°Wow, this must be fated.¡± A scripted remark. Lin Yousu managed to put on a fantastic act. Looking at Fu Sichen with her most ttered expression, she said, ¡°Best Actor Fu, I¡¯ll look to you for guidance.¡±
Fu Sichen was expressionless and nodded indifferently as a form of acknowledgment. He carried Pei Zhen and walked towards the manor. Lin Yousu froze for a moment before she quickly tried to catch up, pulling the Husky behind her.
The manor was rented especially for the show and had a huge area ofnd.
There were many fruit trees nted in the garden. In summer, the lychees looked inviting and grew in big clusters that bent the tree branches with their weight.
Pei Zhen was greedy.
He had previously heard the directing group remark that they could pick fruits in the garden. Pei Zhen lost all restraint, and leaped nimbly from Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace onto his head. From there, he reached out and clung onto a cluster of lychees.
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Fu Sichen was surprised. He looked up and saw Pei Zhen picking lychees. Furthermore, his movements were skillful, and very much like a human. Grab and snap¡ªthe lychees fell towards the ground.
Once the lychees fell onto the ground, the Husky next to Lin Yousu was full of uncontained enthusiasm. With a swish, he galloped towards the lychees, opened his mouth, and bit into them.
The Husky had no idea of how to properly eat lychees.
The dog would bite, and then spit things out after chewing. Pei Zhen¡¯s heart ached as he watched his own efforts going down the drain. He aggressively dove down from Fu Sichen¡¯s head and delivered a flying kick. ¡°Shut up!¡±
No matter what, the cat was a hero who had previously battled dog thieves. Pei Zhen¡¯s kick was considerably powerful, at least, it had the Husky¡¯s head pinned to the ground.
¡°Aw¡¡±
The situation shamed the Husky. He lifted his head and started to bark at Pei Zhen, preparing for a showdown with the Persian cat.
How nimble was Pei Zhen!
As the Husky charged up, he did a backflip to dodge. Not only that, with his ws he picked up a few lychees on the way and fired them at the Husky¡¯s face!
An amazing dog and cat fight.

A dog and cat fight was amon sight.
A much lessmon sight was a cat torturing a dog.
Fu Sichen¡¯s Persian cat was awesome. Not only was it unafraid of dogs, but full of action and fury, taming even the magnificent¡ªor rather, seemingly magnificent Husky.
The cat and dog owner hardly had time to react to the fiasco. It was the cameraman who acted fast and disyed his professional training, pointing his camera at the Persian cat and Husky.
Pei Zhen was a sharpshooter with the lychees. The Husky wanted to retaliate, but in the end, waspletely inundated and started begging for mercy.
¡°I was wrong. I was really at fault.¡± The Husky whimper. ¡°Please stop bullying me.¡±
Pei Zhen was aghast at theint of violence.
¡°Jack!¡± Lin Yousu called out as she recovered from the shock. She quickly ran up to the dog. She held Jack¡¯s face in her palms and saw that he had dirtied fur and red eyes. Jack was in a state of shock too.
Despicable!
The Husky was a big dog, and even if he couldn¡¯t kill the cat, he should be good enough to frighten him. In the end, Jack was the one who was terrified.
¡°Best Actor Fu.¡± Lin Yousu was going toin about his cat being fierce towards her dog, but couldn¡¯t bring herself to say the words because it was decidedly embarrassing. In the end, she only alluded to it by saying, ¡°Your cat is quite ferocious.¡±
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Fu Sichen was equally speechless, but no matter what he had to stand by his cat. ¡°It was wrong of the Husky to waste the lychees, but you shouldn¡¯t have hit him.¡±
Wasted¡ lychees¡
The crowd was quiet for a moment, and the photographer raised his thumb in his heart.
Awesome.
Indeed Fu Sichen was awesome.
With a few words, he had managed to shift the me to the Husky.
When Lin Yousu figured out the meaning behind Fu Sichen¡¯s words, she was livid. She wanted to fight for more exposure, but she saw the Persian cat taking big strides towards the Husky.
As Pei Zhen approached the Husky, the Husky¡¯s body stiffened, and he whimpered.
¡°Wasting food is shameful.¡± As Pei Zhen said this, he pushed the lychees towards the Husky. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Uncle Farmer works very hard? Eat it!¡±
The Husky shook his head with tears in his eyes, expressing that it tasted awful and he really didn¡¯t want to eat it.
¡°You didn¡¯t peel the shell off¡ªof course it tasted awful.¡± Pei Zhen said with a sarcastic roll of his eyes. He used a paw to hold down the lychee, and then the other paw to remove the shell, revealing the white flesh within. Once again he pushed it in front of the Husky. ¡°Try it now.¡±
The Husky hesitated for a short while. Pei Zhen was forcing him, so he unwillingly lowered his head and took a bite.
The full, sweet vor of the lychee immediately released and spread in his mouth.
Although people said animals didn¡¯t like eating fruits, the taste of the lychee was definitely not deplorable. The Husky¡¯s eyes lit up, and he looked at Pei Zhen in amazement.
Pei Zhen acted humble, extending his paw to give the Husky a light pat on the shoulder. ¡°So now you¡¯ve learned to appreciate lychees? No need to thank me. My name is Red Scarf.¡±
From foes to friends, the cat and dog war of the century was over quickly. Not only that, the harmonious ending was unexpected.
The miraculous thing was that the cat taught the young Husky how to appreciate lychees. The Husky learned well¡ªfirst remove the shell, then spit the seed. The photographer was so excited to capture such a scene that he could hardly hold his camera still.
Lin Yousu had no other outlet, and could only pretend. ¡°Fu Sichen, your cat¡ is really quite clever.¡±
With one motion, Fu Sichen caught the cat as he jumped into his arms. With a subtle twinkle in his eyes, he said, ¡°No need to feel inferior. My son has always been smart.¡±
Son?!!
The Persian cat almost jumped out of Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace.

Pei Zhen felt that Fu Sichen must hate him immensely, such that he would keep taking advantage of him.
There was one other thing that Pei Zhen thought was puzzling¡ªignoring the fact that his sworn enemy kept calling him ¡®Son¡¯, there was also the fact that he became ¡®Daddy¡¯.
It was so gay, for some reason, that two grown men became a cat¡¯s parents.
The more Pei Zhen thought about it, the more unsettled he felt. Being embraced by Fu Si Chen, he was ufortable and struggled to get away.
¡°Quiet.¡± Fu Sichen took a cluster of lychees with one hand, and the cat in the other. With the one hand, he performed the difficult task of trying to shell the lychee. ¡°Want some?¡±
His cat never liked cat food and ate like a human. Because of this, Fu Sichen was not at all surprised that the cat would eat lychees.
It was the cameraman following close behind Fu Sichen who got all excited and would point the camera at the cat now and then. It didn¡¯t seem to hate the camera considering its happy expression.
When Pei Zhen was human, the charm he exuded was always a focal point.
After he turned into a cat, it was still the same!
Even if he was busy eating lychees, he still wanted to demonstrate his eating to the audience when the camera pointed at him.
Best Actor Fu shelled the lychees perfectly before he gave them to the cat. Of course Pei Zhen would eat them. He swallowed them in a gulp. The lychee would swirl in his mouth, and the flesh would be gone when he spat out the seed.
¡°Wow! What a clever cat!¡± the cameraman eximed.
Fu Sichen very swiftly shelled another few. Whether it was on purpose or not, when he inserted the lychee into the cat¡¯s mouth, he would give the cat¡¯s tongue a light tickle with his finger.
Pei Zhen gave a sudden shudder!
He looked up and widened his eyes in surprise as if stunned by a bolt of lightning.
¡°Have you had enough?¡± Fu Sichen calmly withdrew his finger and tossed the remaining shelled lychee towards the Husky. ¡°My little precious has had enough.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was as cold as always, but Lin Yousu couldn¡¯t help but feel his sarcasm towards her. She tried to pull the Husky back to prevent him from eating the lychee, but the Husky barked happily and swallowed it with a big gulp.
Lin You Su turned red.
How irritating! She must have been out of her mind to decide on keeping a Husky!
¡°B-Best Actor Fu.¡± Too embarrassed, Lin Yousu could only try to change the topic. ¡°We need to quickly locate the task slips; otherwise we will have to starve tonight.¡±
War of the Pets was known for being strict, and the game would stick closely to the rules. There was no negotiation; the losers would get no food.
When Lin Yousu said that, Pei Zhen snapped out of his stunned state. He was still feeling extremely awkward from being tickled on the tongue, but seeing how calm Fu Sichen was, he thought perhaps he was over-reacting.
It was an ident, that was what it was!
Pei Zhen tried hard to find an excuse. In the meantime, Fu Sichen looked at Lin Yousu with disinterest. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a dog?¡±
He took out a bag of pet treats and pushed it under the Husky¡¯s nose.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t even wait for Lin Yousu to ask why, andpletely crushed her IQ when he said, ¡°The punishment and reward are different segments¡ªthe only simrity is the treats. Something is fishy.¡±
As expected, once the Husky smelled the treats and the cat in his arms signaled with a meow, the Husky sprang into action and led the way.
¡°Yes, Big Brother. I¡¯ll do as you say, Big Brother!¡±

None of the other pets, when paired up, had chemistry as good as that between Lin Yousu¡¯s dog and Fu Sichen¡¯s cat.
Having been taught a lesson by Pei Zhen, the Husky now idolized him. When it came to following the scent of treats for the clues, there was no confusion at all.
Very quickly, they found the written clues under a lychee tree.
Earlier on, the show director had exined that they hid the task slips in boxes.
The variety show crew was kind. To make the game easier, they sprinkled ayer of fine ash over the boxes before burying them.
Theyer of ash was a distinctive colorpared to the earth, so any observant person would be able to tell right away.
¡°Oh! Found it!¡± Lin Yousu shouted happily, hugging her Husky and praising him for his intelligence.
Would the next step be up to the cat?
Digging a hole would be such a dirty job. Lin Yousu didn¡¯t want to be spending the night with a dirty Husky.
She started to say something but was stopped by what happened next. Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t even reacted to the finding when the Persian cat gave a soft meow. Then all at once, as if possessed, the Husky started to dig with all his might.
What on earth!!! Lin Yousu was furious.
Fu Sichen, who was standing by the side carrying his Persian cat, said casually, ¡°Your dog is quite greedy.¡±
As mentioned earlier, the papers carrying the written clues had the smell of treats smeared on them. The Persian cat was as still as could be, whereas the young Husky was all worked up.
Lin Yousu was livid beyond words.
Somehow it all backfired, and not only that, Fu Sichen sounded logical. It made Lin Yousu feel so wronged that she almost had a heart attack.
Of course, that was just the beginning.
Their task required them and their pets to find a means to retrieve the little banner from the opposite shore across the river.
The little banner was on a tree, and the difficulty level of the task was quite high. They would have to rely on their pets¡¯ capability to retrieve the banner.
Although it was considered a small river, it was quite wide and without a boat or bridge. The camera crew deployed a small boat.
So what now?
The other groups gritted their teeth and went into the water, getting themselves wet. Fu Sichen¡¯s team, on the other hand, was quite rxed. The owners didn¡¯t have to get into the water. The Husky got into the water with the cat on his back.
The perfect coboration impressed the audience. The white Persian cat was like a boss sitting on the Husky¡¯s head; and the Husky was powering ahead at full force, as though it would win him a military award.
¡°What the hell! Is this real!¡±
¡°Best Actress Lu¡ªcan we coborate this way too. Let your cat ride on my dog.¡±
¡°The point is that they are willing parties!¡±
But, they were willing¡ not!
When the various teams of celebrities were in the midst of discussion, their pets also started to make endless noises.
¡°Oh! Now you even want to ride on my head, you scheming thing!¡±
¡°Bleh! Who wants to ride on you. What unhealthy thoughts are you thinking!¡±
¡°Rubbish! Why are my thoughts unhealthy? Ride just means ride!¡±
Endless arguments that had no oue¡ªBig Brother Parrot perched on his owner¡¯s head and started to chide, ¡°Beyond stupid.¡±
Without question, at the end of the variety show, Fu Sichen and Lin Yousu¡¯s team came in first.
¡°Indeed, it¡¯s Best Actor Fu!¡± The director had heard rumors earlier about the Persian cat. ¡°It¡¯s not bad to have a cat. Can you share with us tips on how to bring up a cat.¡±
Fu Sichen smiled mildly. ¡°First, find the cat a dad.¡±

Everyone could see how well the cat performed.
Even if the cat and the dog were coborating, the audience could instinctively tell that the Persian cat was in-charge.
It was hard to exin how the Persian cat conquered the Husky, or why the Husky¡ªusually nicknamed the Demon Prince¡ªwould so obediently give in.
ording to Fu Sichen, the cat rearing advice that the director sought traced back to the concept of ¡®Daddy.¡¯ Only, the concept was so vague and mysterious that no one understood it.
The director coughed and didn¡¯t dare continue with more questions. He only smiled politely to hide any embarrassment then turned to Lin Yousu, saying, ¡°Your Jack is very smart, a warrior among huskies!¡±
Lin Yousu nced briefly at the dirty Husky. Inside, she was on the verge of violent tears. ¡°Thanks. Thank you for the praise.¡±
That was the end.
Normally Lin Yousu¡¯s assistant would be the one bathing the Husky.
She now had to spend the night alone with the Husky. Bathing it by herself would be exhausting!
And what about the Persian cat?
It had participated actively in the game, but at the end of the day, it was as clean as it was at the start of the day. He was even wearing a white pet suit.
Not only Lin Yousu, but all the celebrities present were envious of Fu Sichen.
¡°Best Actor Fu is indeed perceptive. He actually made his cat put on clothes.¡±
¡°Ahhhhhh¡ I wanted to make my Ah Dai put on clothes, but she wouldn¡¯t have it.¡±
¡°For crying out loud, I¡¯m staying in a farm tonight! Am I going to bathe my dog with water from the well?¡±
All the participants who were city folks looked at each other and couldn¡¯t stop themselves from bursting intoughter.
It waste, and they were all tired, but the filming wasn¡¯t done. Hence the participants made some small talk before taking their pets and going back to their amodation.
Because they came out on top in the game, Fi Sichen and Lin Yousu were given luxury amodations at a hotel.
Of course, being of different genders, they had separate rooms.
Fu Sichen ordered a seafood dinner.
During mealtime, he put in the effort to shell the prawns and pick out the shark¡¯s fin for his Persian cat.
Pei Zhen ate until his mouth was glistening, thoroughly content!
Because of that, he realized something.
Fu Sichen was kind to his parents and to the cat that he rescued. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the little devil Xiao Nian was so loud, Fi Sichen might have been kind to him as well.
The exception¡ªhe was cold and antagonistic towards Pei Zhen. What was the reason?
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t figure out the answer and looked quizzically at Fu Sichen. At that moment, Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze also fell on the cat, and his lips curled upward gently.
At that moment the depths of his eyes were filled with the stars and the sea; it was mesmerizing.
¡°Arghhhhhh!¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart missed a beat, and his blood rushed towards his head. He was blushing uncontrobly.
Crap!
Since when was Fu Sichen so good-looking.
He didn¡¯t dare look in Fu Sichen¡¯s direction any longer. Pei Zhen looked away, but Fu Sichen picked him up.
¡°Hmmmm? Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s voice was unexpectedly tender. ¡°Don¡¯t get onto the bed before you bathe.¡±
Pei Zhen became sullen again.
Even if he took a bath, he wasn¡¯t going to get on Fu Sichen¡¯s bed!
Usually, when it came to bathing the pets, the audience would be eagerly waiting to watch.
Pets that were normally well-behaved would start struggling and screaming once they came near water. It was as if they had some innate hatred for it.
The moment Fu Sichen mentioned ¡®bath,¡¯ the cameraman wanted to follow him to film, but Fu Sichen forbade it.
¡°This is a private moment; please don¡¯t film it.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, I want to film the bathing of the cat,¡± said the cameraman. It was a pet, not a human!
¡°This concerns Pei Pei¡¯s privacy.¡± Fu Sichen insisted.

Fu Sichen¡¯s cat was image-conscious.
He not only wanted to wear clothes during the day, but it was also the same at bedtime. He wanted to hide his testicles in his thick fur, so how could he tolerate being watched while bathing?
Furthermore, millions of viewers watched the broadcast.
Fu Sichen ruthlessly rejected the cameraman. He was left to stand outside the door by himself, pitifully listening to the asional sound of running water.
Pei Zhen was cooperative, so it didn¡¯t take more than a few minutes to bathe him. As Fu Sichen walked out carrying the wet cat, his eyes met those of the cameraman.
¡°Why are you still here?¡± Fu Sichen was a bit speechless and carefully held the Persian cat. ¡°If you don¡¯t leave, my cat¡¯s going to attack.¡±
He wasn¡¯t lying.
The cameraman initially did not believe him.
Fu Sichen¡¯s rolled up his sleeves because he was bathing the cat, and it revealed the scratch marks on his arms.
The cameraman finally went away, reflecting on the rumors that were circting about the Persian cat.
Although Fu Sichen¡¯s cat was good-looking, it was also ferocious. It was behaving itself for the moment, and people tended to forget its nature.
Since both the cat and his master were unwilling to cooperate¡ªno matter the sense of duty that the cameraman felt¡ªhe couldn¡¯t reasonably stay.
But even though he didn¡¯t stay, he left his camera behind.
¡°If you don¡¯t want me to capture any private moments, how about footage of just before bedtime? This is not my wish, but the wish of millions ofizens out there!¡±
Fu Sichen said nothing.
The cameraman was relentlessly battling death itself, determined to get footage of Fu Sichen and his beloved cat for the fans to see.
Ever since the time the cat got drunk and spent the night on Fu Sichen¡¯s bed, Fu Sichen had insisted that the cat slept with him.
The cat initially found it shameful, but he grew ustomed to it.
The cat¡¯s ce was at the side of the bed, with a pillow and small nket. Although Pei Zhen looked bothered by it, he didn¡¯t kick up a fuss and epted the arrangement.
Compared to the din created by the other teams, Fu Sichen¡¯s team was much more harmonious. After his bath, he too fell asleep.
The lights in the bedroom went out signaling an end to the day¡¯s filming.
After a day of filming, Pei Zhen was tired. The movement created as Fu Sichen got into bed was just enough to cause him to open his eyes momentarily, but in the next second, he was fast asleep again.
Fu Sichen heard the Persian cat¡¯s soft, subtle breathing beside him.
Was it the overbearing silence of the night? Or was it because he was too focused on the cat? Pei Zhen¡¯s breathing was so light, yet every breath sent reverberations through his heart.
The camera was turned off, so there was no fear of someone recording his expression and emotions.
He was dead tired, yet his mind was alive. Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes stayed shut, but he was far from being asleep. He turned in his bed, disturbing the cat. The cat gave a light meow to express his annoyance.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t dare move again.
He didn¡¯t draw the curtainspletely before going to bed, so the pale light of the moon seeped through the opening. In the dim light, Fu Sichen could make out the silhouette of the cat.
He was not a very big cat, but he was pure white. His looks were pleasing, and he would probably be considered a real beauty in the world of cats.
Fu Sichen was aware that he wasn¡¯t a big pet lover. He felt that all of the pets belonging to the other participants of the variety show were quite ugly.
Fortunately, Fu Sichen was a man with superbly high EQ. He knew if he verbalized his thoughts, he¡¯d be scratched to death by the other participants¡¯ pets.
Whatever it was, looking at the Persian cat, Fu Sichen felt that his current emotions were tooplex.
He liked the cat too much!

Realizing this, Fu Sichen found it hard to get to sleep. He still didn¡¯t dare toss and turn. All he could do was carefully crawl out of bed. He sat in the diffused light of the moon and took out his mobile phone.
Stored in the search box was the question from his previous inte search.
[Is it possible for a man to turn into a cat?]
Fu Sichen hit the search button.
The next day, filming started at six in the morning.
Loud thumping on their doors woke the group of pampered celebrities. When they got up, they looked like they were sleepwalking. With great difficulty, they gathered together and plonked themselves onto the sofa at the assembly venue.
A pair of young celebrities, who were sharing amodation, were even more exaggerated. They arrived leaning on one another, staggering forward. They didn¡¯t even make it to the couch before they fell.
¡°T-this is what the morning sun looks like at 6 am?¡±
¡°Why is the sun only a semi-circle?¡±
¡°It¡¯s still rising, silly.¡±
¡°No, sometimes we shoot overnight, but I¡¯ve never seen the sunrise.¡±
¡°My god, you are dragging out a terrible experience buried deeply in my memories!¡±
On the surface, the celebrities were morous, but they had their own sufferings.
Filming reality shows were different from making a movie. There were no body doubles, at least for the moment.
They considered themselves a brotherhood andined among themselves. Fu Sichen walked towards them with his cat.
He seemed to have had a rough night, having dark circles under his eyes. It caught the participants¡¯ attention. ¡°Best Actor Fu, did you pat a dogst night?¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t reply. He didn¡¯t pat any dogs, but he had patted and stared at a cat all night.
Out of all the show¡¯s participants, Lin Yousu was thest to arrive.
She didn¡¯t rest well either, and her makeup couldn¡¯t cover the dark circles under her eyes. She wandered up soullessly, dog in tow.
How noisy could the Husky get?
He created havoc all night and only managed to calm down in the morning. Only, the moment he saw his big brother the Persian cat, his excitement returned, and he ran towards Fu Sichen. Lin Yousu couldn¡¯t keep him under control!
It was not a case of a human leading a dog, but of a dog leading a human.
The other celebrities had no idea what happened with Fu Sichen and Lin Yousu the night before. They assumed the programme crew had given them additional tasks. Such thoughts made them all the more nervous as they wondered what would befall them.
It was to the point that, even thought Fu Sichen and Lin Yousu didn¡¯te out on top the second night, they still had the choice of selecting the luxury hotel for their amodations. The pair of young celebrities who won for the day chose to stay in themon amodations.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t really care how people yed the game.
He was tired as hell. After he took care of Pei Zhen, his little deity¡¯s needs, he fell straight to sleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
On the other hand, Pei Zhen was fine.
He assigned all of his tasks to the little Husky, so he wasn¡¯t too tired even when 9 pm rolled around.
Fu Sichen was sound asleep.
His fringe fell across his forehead, recing his standard cold look with one far more gentle.
Pei Zhen¡¯s gaze gradually moved downward and fell on Fu Sichen¡¯s thin lips.
Whether he liked it or not, he and Fu Sichen had met lips several times.
Pei Zhen always felt as if he were about to explode when it happened. After all, where would he have experienced what a kiss felt like?
So.
Was the person in front of him kissable?
Pei Zhen was lost in thought looking at Fu Sichen, and it took him quite some time to realize what he was thinking. When he did, he started to sweat profusely.
Crap! Crap! Crap!
Was there something wrong with him, thinking such thoughts!
Was he being affected by his sworn enemy¡¯s gay genes?!
Pei Zhen was unnerved and disturbed. He felt like dying. To make matters worse, the man who had been sound asleep suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him.
Pei Zhen froze.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you asleep?¡± He stretched out his hand and pulled Pei Zhen into his embrace as if it was the most natural thing in the world. His voice was low but gentle. ¡°No more pain, no more pain, Pei Pei, big brother is here.¡±
Pei Zhen was shocked.

Pei Zhen¡¯s parents were lecturers in a university. In addition, they specialized in Archaeology and were renowned in the field. Their peers knew them as ¡°The Condor Heroes.¡±
The Condor Heroes were busy people. If they weren¡¯t exploring the hills, then they were setting foot in a deep forest. It was only in recent years that things had changed. They had stopped going out into the fields, though they were still busy expanding their work internationally.
In archaeology, a tripsted a year or more, and even short trips were in terms of months. Therefore, they were seldom home.
When Pei Zhen was in his second year of high school, he fell ill. At that time the Condor Heroes were digging graves in a remote area not covered by a mobilework and couldn¡¯t be reached.
Fu Sichen¡¯s parents, who were Pei Zhen¡¯s next-door neighbors, were kind and took Pei Zhen in. They looked after him like he was their own.
At some point, for whatever reason, looking after Pei Zhen became Fu Sichen¡¯s responsibility.
In the day he looked after Pei Zhen¡¯s meals, and at night he looked after Pei Zhen¡¯s rest. The Little Brat Pei seemed like he didn¡¯t care. When he fell sick, he inevitably developed feelings of self-pity, believing that he was nobody¡¯s child.
The Condor Heroes were entric andcked human awareness.
How did he get through that period?
Was it with the help andfort provided by Fu Sichen?
When Little Brat Pei was in his second year of high school, Genius Fu was in his first year.
Genius Fu excelled from a young age and continued to be quite the popr personality in university. At that time he was talent-scouted by the drama society and selected to be in the next y.
With Pei Zhen falling ill, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t even think twice before heading home to look after him.
¡°No more pain, Pei Pei.¡±
¡°Everything will be alright, Pei Pei.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, big brother is here.¡±
Despite his youth, there had been a certain maturity in his voice, and when it was soft, there was a tenderness about it. His voice was like aged wine, like a voice from heaven, like the wind in April when Spring bloomed¡ªit soothed Pei Zhen¡¯s pain.
Thinking those thoughts while nestled in Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace moved Pei Zhen, but he also felt shame.
His heart was racing, but being so close to Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know if the heartbeat was his own or Fu Sichen¡¯s.
He felt his face flush.
He tried to work his way out of the embrace and curl up in a ball. Yet, just as he was about to seed, arge hand encircled him ruthlessly!
He had to.
Pei Zhen quietly rolled his eyes; it looked like he wasn¡¯t going to let go.
¡°Who would have thought, the great Best Actor Fu is so attached to his pet.¡± After a lot of struggling and not being able to escape, Pei Zhen gave himself an excuse to justify his actions. ¡°Fine, on the basis of our old friendship, I will grant you your wish this one time.¡±
After convincing himself (and who was he trying to kid), Pei Zhen finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
A few dayster, filming of The War of the Pets came to an end. A few of the celebrities had grown closer as a result of the teamwork and coboration.
Of course, the same went for the pets¡ªthey too grew closer.
With the Husky as an example, the other pets were in awe of Pei Zhen the cat.
¡°Pei Pei, please tell me how to eat an orange.¡± The voice wasing from the young celebrity¡¯s Inu Shiba, who was wagging his tail happily. ¡°I really want to try it! Woof!¡±
¡°Pei Pei, teach me a few more profanities!¡± The parrot had taken to repeating ¡°Beyond stupid¡± and was on a roll. ¡°I want to learn more so that I can say them to the silly bird living next door.¡±
¡°And, and¡ Pei Pei, are you really not getting married?¡± The Best Actress¡¯ cat had been watching too many period dramas and spoke in character. ¡°I¡¯m of marriageable age, can you hold a grand procession to wed me?¡±
¡°Get lost!¡± The Husky was considerably possessive and pushed the Persian cat behind him. ¡°The master will not take in any more disciples! And the master will not get himself a wife!¡±
Pei Zhen was irritated. All of you get lost! I am human!

Many people focused on Fu Sichen¡¯s position as Best Actor.
Unexpectedly, his cat had simr star qualities that many pets focused on!
The crowd was speechless.
They looked at the Persian cat surrounded by the other cats, and then looked at Best Actor Fu. They couldn¡¯t help but praise their pets in their hearts.
How clever!
They knew how to please!
More treats when they got home!
Most would think that given such a situation, Fu Sichen would be happy. But curiously, the opposite was true.
Fu Sichen was livid.
He was angry with the Persian cat for being too showy, too good, and too attention-grabbing.
Fu Sichen finally exploded when he saw the Husky rubbing against the Persian cat.
¡°Pei Pei!¡± The minute the Husky got close to the cat, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression suddenly changed. His voice was icy and not only did it scare people, but it also scared the pets as well.
The Husky froze at that point and stopped moving. Everyone was quiet except a cat who couldn¡¯t help but utter, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the male idol?¡±
Humans were visual beings, even more so animals. Pei Zhen had even heard the sparrows by the road discussing Fu Sichen¡¯s good looks.
When one was handsome, even when he was angry he had the right to be.
As Fu Sichen strode over, the pets instinctively stepped aside to let him through. Left standing there was the young Husky protecting his big brother. After two seconds, the Husky too unwillingly gave way.
The end.
Best Actor Fu had no match.
The pets were even more in awe of Pei Zhen.
Even with the impending doom, he was unwavering and even gave Fu Sichen a bold re.
¡°So flirtatious?¡± Fu Sichenughed¡ªnot a gentle one, but a sarcastic one. ¡°Attracting birds and bees?¡±
He bent over and picked up the white ball of fur. Then, in a softer voice, he said, ¡°You want to give you dad grandchildren? Huh. I¡¯ll get you spayed.¡±
Expectedly, when that word rang out, the Persian cat was scared stiff. He looked at Fu Sichen with extreme resentment, but he didn¡¯t dare move.
¡°Eh?¡± The Best Actress standing by the side said chirpily, ¡°Best Actor Fu, you haven¡¯t spayed your cat? My Lily¡¯s the same. Maybe it¡¯s fate that they met, do you think¡¡±
¡°Fate is thin, not mating, thanks.¡±
Fu Sichen curtly voiced his rejection, not even letting her finish her sentence. If Wang Youquan were around, he would surely be devastated!
They were peers and so rarely got together. With such little EQ, there would be lots of enemies.
But so what if the celebrities were not happy with things. Even without considering Fu Sichen¡¯s background, his social standing as Best Actor was quite untouchable!
Being rejected so outrightly, the Best Actress was clearly unhappy. Lin Yousu smiled slightly and said the strangest thing, ¡°Best Actor Fu¡¯s cat is precious and almost royalty, he doesn¡¯t mate with just any cat.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Although the Best Actress didn¡¯t dare to offend Fu Sichen, she couldn¡¯t care less about Lin Yousu. ¡°That¡¯s way better than some people. After all, cats are family. Dogs, on the other hand, are in a different league.¡±
How artfully she worded her remark.
She had sarcastically implied that Lin Yousu was in a different ss from Fu Sichen, and yet she would even try taking advantage of him to attain poprity.
Lin Yousu was furious!
She had intended to make it known that she was the cat¡¯s ex-owner during the course of the reality show, but she never found the opportunity to do so.
She brought a dog to scare the Persian cat, and in the end, her dog became a fan of the cat.
She was also nning to start another scandal involving Fu Sichen, but s, the two hardly interacted.
And of course, following that, the phenomenon of the cat and dog couple index infuriated Fu Sichen.

In the War of the Pets variety show that Fu Sichen took part in, most of the celebrities were there to make guest appearances or feel like they mattered.
¡°Best Actor Fu, I¡¯ve always been impressed by your acting skills; you¡¯re really awesome.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, Director Chen¡¯s new series is missing one character, and I feel that I was made for that role.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu¡¡±
The constant ringing of ¡®Best Actor Fu¡¯ wouldn¡¯t stop. With Pei Zhen still in aa, the whole entertainment circle naturally sucked up to Fu Sichen.
They tried hard to please and to build a rtionship¡ªFu Sichen saw it constantly and had long grown used to it.
He was quick at changing the topic, and asked, ¡°Do you keep cats?¡±
¡°Your cat knows how to stand upright?
¡°He stands up to¡ you know¡ erm, pee?¡±
¡°¡ No, of course not,¡± the celebrities answered.
¡°Oh, my cat does,¡± said Best Actor Fu.
The people were stunned.
Honestly, they felt that Fu Sichen was either daydreaming or making things up to show off his cat.
They had no idea that it confused Fu Sichen.
Compared to the replies of the other celebrities, Fu Sichen felt that his pet was a fantasy.
Or was it his good fortune to have bought such a brilliant cat?
He had spent half a day searching through the knowledge encyclopedia online and couldn¡¯t find what he wanted. Impulsively, he posted a question, and someone answered.
¡°The thread owner is a writer?¡±
¡°Master Qing Lian can we side-track here? Can you tell me more? Catching demons and performing rites package service is only 998 dors after discount.¡±
¡°By my estimation, this cat is about to be a demon, and a catastrophe awaits. The eminent monk sits in-charge, waiting for The One appointed by fate.¡±
Appointed¡ my foot!
It started as a proper discussion thread and degenerated into side talk. Even more ridiculously, a ¡®Couple¡¯ thread was spun off, discussing if the thread owner was a ¡®top¡¯ or ¡®bottom¡¯ party.
There were manyizens, with just as many opinions offered, but very few sincerely offered a solution. Even if Fu Sichen made a sacrifice and participated in the variety show, there still wouldn¡¯t be a definite answer.
The only certainty was that his Persian cat was as intelligent as a demon.
¡°Sichen¡ Sichen?¡± Wang Youquan¡¯s voice was ringing in his ears. And with the added urgency of the tone, Fu Sichen was pulled back from his train of thought.
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve drifted off again.¡± Wang Youquan didn¡¯t know what to say and sighed. ¡°Did you hear what I was saying about the itinerary?¡±
Fu Sichen was in deep thought for a while. It moved Wang Youquan to think that Fu Sichen was finally giving him some attention and acknowledging his presence. But, unexpectedly, when Fu Sichen spoke, it was about somethingpletely unrted. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Xing Yu Media Company.¡±
Wang Youquan was stunned. ¡°What? X-Xing Yu?¡±
¡°Tsk.¡± Fu Sichen didn¡¯t like repeating himself, and Wang Youquan never seemed to understand the humannguage. Fu Sichen grew impatient.
He looked down at the Persian cat in his arms and checked that it was still asleep. Then he said again coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s go to Xing Yu. Right now.¡±
¡°N-No.¡± Wang Youquan¡¯s heart missed a beat, and the man started to appear nervous. ¡°Sichen, you¡ we¡ Sichen¡ everyone in our agency gets along very well, and we love each other very much. We are a good team, and I don¡¯t want to change jobs. Sichen¡ you are our Vice President!¡±
Xing Yu was Pei Zhen¡¯s agency.
Although the scandal from before had blown over, the experience still scared Wang Youquan. Fu Sichen had justpleted his filming, and now he wanted to sign up with another agency. Wang Youquan thought that Fu Sichen must have wanted to take him along too, to make great changes.
Fu Sichen rolled his eyes.
What the hell! He felt like hitting someone.

Xing Yu Media Company put up a big wee when Best Actor Fu visited before, and the line-up was evenrger when he arrived.
There was Best Actor Fu and his manager Wang Youquan.
The boss of Xing Yu Media was even more agitated. ¡°Damn! Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t there to sign up with our agency; he was there to spy!¡±
It wasn¡¯t just him visiting; there was his star manager apanying him!
¡°Boss, I don¡¯t think that was the case,¡± said Xiao Nian, whose artiste was still in aa.
Xiao Nian grew nervous whenever he saw Fu Sichen. When he thought about it, he had previously found the guts to hang up on Fu Sichen!
But the heavens had its own will that surpassed man¡¯ s¡ªXiao Nian happened to be the person Fu Sichen was after.
¡°I want to see Xiao Nian.¡±
The moment Fu Sichen made this remark, the boss looked at Xiao Nian in apletely different light. ¡°All the best, Little Nian Nian. I¡¯ll take you to the ¡°spa¡± upon sessfulpletion of your mission.¡±
Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t quite sure how to react.
He was once a chaste young man! Seriously!
As unwilling as the innocent young man was, he was forced toe face-to-face with Fu Sichen¡ªalone.
¡°Please spare me!¡± Xiao Nian wanted to clutch at his own face and cry. ¡°It was my mistake! I really was in the wrong! Your lowly servant will never hang up on you again! Best Actor Fu¡¡±
Fu Sichen mmed his palm on the table, causing Xiao Nian to jump and immediately shut up.
¡°I¡¯m not talking about the phone incident.¡± Fu Sichen looked around, expressionless. ¡°Where is Pei Zhen?¡±
¡°B-Best Actor Fu¡¡± A bead of perspiration formed on Xiao Nian¡¯s forehead. ¡°P-Pei Zhen is in the hospital, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Fu Sichen asked.
¡°Y-Yes.¡± Xiao Nian looked at Fu Sichen in the eyes and then quickly looked away in fright. ¡°Best Actor Fu, have you forgotten? P-Pei Zhen was in an ident¡¡±
¡°And what about Pei Pei?¡± Fu Sichen persisted.
¡°What?¡±
¡°Pei Pei. The Persian cat.¡±
Persian¡ cat¡
Xiao Nian turned white, sensing that nothing good was toe. He tried his best to remain calm, but couldn¡¯t hide the trembling in his voice. ¡°Pei¡ Pei¡? Isn¡¯t Pei Pei with you? I-I did not go near Pei Pei.¡±
¡°Xiao Nian.¡± Fu Sichen turned around and ignited his lighter with a click. He lit his cigarette. ¡°I hear you¡¯re looking for a Shaman?¡±
Damn.
When Pei Zhen woke up, he didn¡¯t see Fu Sichen around. There was only Wang Youquan.
He knew it was probably because of Fu Sichen¡¯s order. Even if Wang Youquan was alone watching over the Persian cat, he did not dare to hold the cat.
Pei Zhen, still blurry from sleep, surveyed his surroundings and realized he was in a car. Looking out of the window, he saw skyscrapers rising from the ground. He felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at them.
This¡ªwasn¡¯t this his management agency Xing Yu Media Company!
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart jumped into his throat, and he froze. What was Fu Sichen doing here!?
¡°Pei Pei, are you looking for Sichen?¡± Wang Youquan asked when he saw the look of panic on the cat¡¯s face. He forced a gentle smile. ¡°Sichen is busy, but he¡¯ll be back soon.¡±
Pei Zhen despised Wang Youquan¡¯s over-zealous effort to act friendly. He was already anxious, and when Wang Youquan¡¯s big face suddenly appeared, he jumped and nearly swiped his ws across it.
¡°Geez! Can you wipe that disgusting smile off your face!¡±
The Persian catunched an attack at Wang Youquan, who cried out loudly from being scratched. Fu Sichen returned. When he opened the car door, it was not a cat that greeted him enthusiastically, but a crying Wang Youquan.
¡°Hubby, he has been bullying me again!¡±

Wang Youquan, who had used the term ¡®hubby¡¯, was pped in the head by the supposed hubby.
¡°Ouch.¡± Rubbing the bump on his head, Wang Youquan was at the point of crying. ¡°Why? Why is it that the fans can call you hubby and they don¡¯t get beaten up!¡±
On the other hand, he had to endure such cruel assaults!
Fu Sichen made an impatient noise and nced at the Persian cat while directing his remark at Wang Youquan. ¡°Don¡¯t put words in my mouth. I¡¯ve always ignored the fans who call me hubby. I¡¯m a loyal lover and hubby is a term for one person¡¯s use only.¡±
Wang Youquan sulked.
Pei Zhen was aghast.
He waspletely clueless as to why Fu Sichen was looking at him when he said the words ¡®loyal lover.¡¯
Compared to their first visit, where Fu Sichen had boldly parked his mini-van at Xing Yu¡¯s entrance, he had parked at a more discrete location the second time around.
Fu Sichen had spoken with Xian Nian without Pei Zhen around, and also didn¡¯t allow Xiao Nian to see him off after the meeting.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t think of a reason why Fu Sichen would look for Xiao Nian, and Wang Youquan misled him.
¡°That scum Xiao Nian. I treat him like my own brother, but he betrayed me.¡± Wang Youquan¡¯s logic was a little strange. ¡°Is he still trying to talk you into changing agency?¡±
¡°Last warning. If you say it again I¡¯ll switch agency.¡± Fu Sichen threatened.
That meant that Fu Sichen was saying for onest time that he wasn¡¯t going to switch agency, and if Wang Youquan went on about it, he nned on immediately jumping ship.
Wang Youquan could be frighteningly naggy and repetitive.
Fu Sichen had enough of exining himself and just wanted to be with the Persian cat.
He reached out his long arms and scooped the white ball of fur into his embrace. Then he looked at his mobile phone, trying to tune into a specific channel.
Unlike before, it wasn¡¯t a drama starring Pei Zhen, but one starring Fu Sichen himself.
Pei Zhen was aghast.
¡°Come, today let¡¯s watch your dad¡¯s heroism.¡± When Fu Sichen decided to be narcissistic, he would do it shamelessly. ¡°Pei Pei, I guarantee you¡¯ll fall in love with me.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned for a while. When he finally came to terms with it, he almost puked.
What crap!
The sworn enemy is a nutcase!
During the journey from Xing Yu Company to Fu Sichen¡¯s serviced apartment, the normally quiet Fu Sichen was unusually talkative. Not only that, he was self-promoting.
¡°This scene filmed when it was raining¡ªI insisted on it, to show my professionalism.¡±
¡°During this fighting scene, the martial arts director only taught me once, and I got it¡ªI¡¯m quite talented.¡±
¡°And this¡ this¡¡±
Not to mention Wang Youquan, even Pei Zhen was impressed.
Seriously!
He¡¯d never thought that there was a mboyant side to Fu Sichen. He normally looked prim and proper!
They endured the brain-washing session and finally reached their destination. Wang Youquan, who usually couldn¡¯t wait to be invited up to the apartment for a drink, fled at first chance.
¡°Sichen, have a good rest. I¡¯lle to pick you up at eight in the morning.¡±
With that, Wang Youquan zoomed off and left poor lonely Pei Zhen to face the narcissistic Fu Sichen on his own.
¡°Pei Pei, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?¡± This time around he wouldn¡¯t even let Pei Zhen jump off his shoulder, holding the cat tightly in his embrace. ¡°I¡¯m an excellent cook, as good as the best on the international arena.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s get rid of this dog.¡±
¡°How annoying. It pooped in my car.¡±
¡°It¡¯s filthy, hurry and throw it out.¡±
The sound of scolding was audible over Fu Sichen¡¯s low voice. Pei Zhen moved his ears and lifted his head to look around for its source.

The hotel located in the city center was first grade, and it had an unbeatable underground carpark.
If someone really wanted to protect his or her own identity and remain anonymous, the hotel would make special arrangements for the use of their alternative entrance.
Fu Sichen was a good example.
It also prevented Pei Zhen from clearly seeing what was happening outside.
He picked up his ears and listened carefully. The scolding that he heard earlier had stopped, and it was quiet all around. He found it was impossible to tell where the voice came from.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Fu Sichen looked around when he sensed that the Persian cat wasn¡¯t behaving normally. ¡°What are you looking for?¡±
Was it just his imagination?
Pei Zhen watched a movie on The Loyal Dog Hachiko the night before. He couldn¡¯t remember much of the conversations that took ce on the show, but the story was unforgettable¡ªit was sad and very touching.
Perhaps he was just emotionally affected, and that made him imagine things.
Pei Zhen felt better if he thought that way. When Fu Sichen asked, he shook his head, signaling that nothing was wrong.
Fu Sichen and the cat got into the lift. When they reached the apartment, Fu Sichen poured Pei Zhen some milk.
¡°Wait for a moment; it will be ready soon.¡±
Fu Sichen had been living alone for many years at that point, but he wasn¡¯t exactly a homely person.
Normally, he would do take-out rather than cook his own meals, even more so since he was filming the next day.
So, Pei Zhen was quite gleeful when he noticed that Fu Sichen was heading into the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up.
Although he didn¡¯t like his sworn enemy, he loved his cooking.
Taking the opportunity of Fu Sichen being in the kitchen, Pei Zhen turned and ran into the bedroom.
The was a belief that the most dangerous ce was often the safest ce. Following that, Pei Zhen had hidden the mobile phone he used formunicating with Xiao Nian in Fu Sichen¡¯s bedroom.
He hid it in the wardrobe in the bedroom.
Pei Zhen pulled the mobile out from amongst a pile of clothes and hurriedly sent Xiao Nian a text message.
[Daddy Pei]: Son, why was that pervert Fu Sichen looking for you today?
Xiao Nian responded quickly, showing just how much free time he had ever since he lost Pei Zhen as his artiste.
[Xiao Nian Nian]: He¡¯s starting to suspect that you turned into a cat. But, Daddy, don¡¯t you worry. With my ingenuity, I managed to talk him out of that idea!
Pei Zhen unconsciously winced and spected what ¡®ingenuity¡¯ might mean.
[Daddy Pei]: Are you sure that Fu Sichen no longer suspects?
[Xiao Nian Nian]: Daddy, you¡¯re doubting your son¡¯s IQ!
[Daddy Pei]: I¡¯m not questioning it, I¡¯m just doing a reasonable analysis.
[Nian Nian]: ¡
No matter how worried he was, after rounds of reassurance and exnations from Xiao Nian, Pei Zhen eventually epted that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t suspect anything.
After all, something like a human turning into a cat defied science.
After confirming the reason for Fu Sichen looking up Xiao Nian, Pei Zhen reminded Xiao Nian to keep looking for a Shaman. At the same time, he went onto the inte to check the Weibo hot searches.
Today¡¯s hot search was still the topic of Comrade Fu Sichen.
Once the filming of War of the Pets finished, the programme team hurriedly increased publicity efforts. Of course, Best Actor Fu was their selling point.
Some of the funny highlights from the filming process were released, and they easily captured the attention of the fans. Big Brother Parrot even earned himself some fans among the rich housewives, through his fluent rendition of ¡®Beyond stupid!¡¯
It was chillingly lonely not being human. Pei Zhen had to use a fake ount, fearful that people would discover his identity.
Pei Zhen was just about to look through the messages that the fans had posted, for his Persian cat self, when a video call came in.
The Condor Heroes, Yang Guo.

Chapter 89: My Precious One, Are You in Love with Me Yet
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Following the discovery of the Seven Wonders of The World, the eighth discovery was soon toe.
The Condor Heroes came out of hiding!
The avatar for ¡®Yang Guo¡¯ was familiar; it was a picture of Pei Zhen¡¯s mother! It also carried a sense of unfamiliarity though, because of his infrequent contact with her.
The video call ringtone sounded and seemed to go on forever in the confines of the bedroom. Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt it was ringing a little too loudly.
What now?
Made nervous by the sudden situation, Pei Zhen forgot that he could lower the ringtone volume, and hit the ¡®disconnect¡¯ button with his trembling paw instead.
Not only did Pei Zhen disconnect the video call, he feltpelled to switch off the mobile phone.
Even then, ¡®Yang Guo¡¯ had other ways of contacting him.
Outside the bedroom, Fu Sichen¡¯s mobile phone starting ringing.
¡°Pei Pei? Hung up on you? Switched off his mobile phone?¡± Fu Sichen spoke respectfully and gently when talking to Pei Zhen¡¯s mother¡ªa far cry from the way he talked to anyone else. ¡°Aunty Pei, I¡¯m sure it¡¯s not that Pei Zhen doesn¡¯t love you. And no, he doesn¡¯t have other mothers taking care of him. He¡¯s just busy.¡±
Fu Sichen was a convincing liar.
From a young age, whenever Pei Zhen created trouble, he would have his cover blown. No matter what excuses he coulde up with he failed to fool anyone. Instead, he¡¯d be told to brush up on his lying skills.
The same lies would be met withpletely different reactions when Fu Sichen delivered them! It was as though Pei Zhen¡¯s mother was deliberately showing her bias and full trust in Fu Sichen!
So, when Fu Sichen said that Pei Zhen was busy, Pei Zhen¡¯s mother was immediately convinced. The tone of her voice calmed down, and she went on to say something to the effect of not getting too carried away with work and getting enough rest. She also said that if he dared to hang up on her again, she¡¯d immediately return.
Fu Sichen managed all of that in the most agreeable and well-behaved manner. No one would have thought he was staring at her son¡¯s butt.
¡°Aunty Pei, you and Uncle Pei take care.¡± Fu Sichen was obviously on good terms with her, and shepletely adored the young man. In a moment of over-confidence, he added, ¡°Aunty Pei, Pei Zhen and I miss you, when will you being home?¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s mother was simr to Yang Guo¡¯s character in The Condor Heroes¡ªextremely straightforward. ¡°Since you miss us so much, we will work hard so that we can return home next month!¡±
Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t expected that.
He was standing outside his bedroom, and his heart suddenly plunged when he looked at the Persian cat in the room.
That was it.
He had no idea if a month was enough.
Pei Zhen had no idea what went on in the conversation between Fu Sichen and his mother. He only vaguely heard ¡®next month,¡¯ and for some reason felt uneasy.
The video call window from his mother was requesting a disconnection. Pei Zhen was worried if Fu Sichen would discover any clues from the episode.
But, Fu Sichen seemed a little ¡®dumb.¡¯
Pei Zhen was on his tip-toe¡¯s after. However, even as he finished cooking dinner, Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t enquired how theatose Pei Zhen could have hung up on his mother and switched off a mobile phone.
Fu Sichen was skilled indeed.
Even though he seldom cooked, he had sharp tastebuds and a good memory for the culinary skills. Pei Zhen loved all of the dishes¡ªjuicy prawns, fresh meat, and Pei Zhen¡¯s favorite fish with fermented vegetables.
One bite and a burst of vor filled the mouth. The food tasted so good that it almost made Pei Zhen meow.
¡°It tastes good, doesn¡¯t it? Isn¡¯t it excellent?¡± Fu Sichen was doubly satisfied when he saw Pei Zhen¡¯s expression. ¡°My Precious One, are you in love with me yet?¡±

The dinner was so satisfying and tasty that Pei Zhen was ready to call a truce with Fu Sichen, never to be enemies again.
That was, until Fu Sichen¡¯sst remark. It hit Pei Zhen like a bolt of lightning, and the piece of fish in his mouth fell onto the tabletop with an almost inaudible smack.
¡°Silence is taken as a sign of agreement.¡±
Fu Sichen had no shame and acted as though such behavior was his birthright. He even leaned forward to kiss Pei Zhen while the cat was still in a state of shock.
Pei Zhen was left speechless.
Once again, the Persian cat was emotionally exhausted.
He had no idea what came over Fu Sichen, but the kiss was long and hard.
When Pei Zhen could finally react, he reached out to scratch Fu Sichen, waving his paws wildly in Fu Sichen¡¯s face. But the Stinker wouldn¡¯t go away! When Fu Sichen finally released his grip, Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes were on fire with anger. It looked like a thug was bullying a child.
Best Actor Fu received a scratch once again.
Thetest injury was even quite serious. Redshes covered his arms and chest. The Persian cat was kind enough not to ruin his handsome face though, leaving it unharmed. He had no intentions of ruining his celebrity career.
¡°Is this because you don¡¯t want me wearing short sleeves? And taking nude photos?¡± Pei Zhen was somewhat taken aback by Fu Sichen¡¯s good mood. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll respect your possessiveness.¡±
Pei Zhen red back wordlessly.
What crap!
Who the hell cares what clothes you wear and what photos you take! Even if you were to star in adult or gay films, I wouldn¡¯t bat an eye!
Pei Zhen the cat, unfortunately, could not speak in humannguage. Otherwise, he would have made remarks so sarcastic that Fu Sichen would lose his will to live.
The Persian cat meowed away, its icy blue eyes on fire. Fu Sichen had gone past the initial stage where he was angry with the cat and found everything it did adorable.
Because of his fondness for the cat, the liberties that Fu Sichen took in bed at night were even worse.
In the past, he had allowed the cat some freedom and space, but no longer. Fu Sichen¡¯s long limbs imprisoned the cat in their embrace. ¡°Pei Pei, do you want to hear a story?¡±
Angry beyond words, Pei Zhen could only roll his eyes.
¡°There is someone I like very much.¡± Ignoring Pei Zhen¡¯s foul mood, Fu Sichen started his narration. ¡°He is dashing looking, very intelligent and adorable. Everything about him was perfect¡ªexcept¡¡±
¡°Aggghhhhhhh! I¡¯m not listening! I¡¯m not listening!¡±
Without waiting for Fu Sichen to finish, Pei Zhen covered his ears with his paws and started to protest. It was as if he were trying to prove how much he didn¡¯t want to listen to Fu Sichen¡¯s story.
Especially the subject of the story¡ª the subject whom Fu Sichen liked!
Pei Zhen was aware of a sense of mncholy, but he didn¡¯t know from where it came. It reminded him of the time when he first turned into a cat, and how sad and soulless Fu Sichen had looked.
He had definitely lost his love!
Seeing how Pei Zhen had covered his ears, Fu Sichen could not bring himself to continue his story. He sighed helplessly, tugged lightly at the corners of Pei Zhen¡¯s nket, and said, ¡°Go to sleep.¡±
The lights in the bedroom went off, and after a while, the sound of controlled breathing filled the room. Only then did Pei Zhen open his eyes.
He is dashing looking.
Very intelligent and adorable.
What girl was Fu Sichen in love with?
For unknown reasons, he suddenly felt that no matter which girl it was, she wasn¡¯t good enough for his childhood buddy.
This childhood buddy that Pei Zhen was thinking of woke up next morning to prepare for filming. Before he left, he pulled out a pile of gaming equipment and left them by theputer. That surprised Pei Zhen.
The games were ones that Pei Zhen liked.
There was even an old game among them. It wasn¡¯t until Pei Zhen nced at it that he realized something that left him speechless¡ªthe cover had a familiar scratch on it.
He thought he had thrown away the game cartridge¡ªwhy was Fu Sichen keeping it!

The first day that Pei Zhen lived together with Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen discovered Fu Sichen¡¯sputer login password. He thought that his own good looks surpassed any love or hatred between them.
The third day that he lived together with Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen discovered that Fu Sichen was a pervert who had a fetish for dead bodies and coveted hisatose human body.
Having lived together with Fu Sichen for many days, Pei Zhen discovered that Fu Sichen had preserved his notes from school, remembered his favorite food, and even kept the collection of games he yed.
There was no mistake, the games used to belong to him.
Pei Zhen vividly remembered when the Nintendo games hit the market, and he bought them. He¡¯d always make a mark on the game cartridges so that he could differentiate them from the other gamers¡¯ cartridges.
The cartridges still had the crooked character ¡®Pei¡¯ stubbornly engraved, standing the test of time.
But for Pei Zhen, the games were only a fad. After a short time, he lost interest and threw them out.
Pei Zhen looked at all the things that had been thrown out and reappeared before him, and then he looked across at Fu Sichen¡ªhe couldn¡¯t describe his feelings.
This¡ could it still pass as ¡®idol worshipping?¡¯
Fu Sichen was, at any rate, a better Nintendo yer than Pei Zhen. It would be unreasonable tofort himself by thinking that Fu Sichen idol-worshipped him.
¡°I¡¯m going for a shoot.¡± It was a rarity that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t take Pei Pei along to work. ¡°I¡¯ll be home a littlete. Your lunch is already on the dining table.¡±
Fu Sichen was going to tell Pei Zhen to warm up the food before eating, but in the end, he swallowed his words with difficulty.
He wasn¡¯t worried that the Persian cat would try to run away again. He bade the cat goodbye, assuming that the cat understood what he was saying, and left the house.
Before he left, Fu Sichen had ced a copy of his script on the desk. It was a story centered around a gay theme. Pei Zhen felt that Fu Sichen did that intentionally.
¡°I wouldn¡¯t star in a gay drama. Over my dead body!¡±
Pei Zhen gave the script a casual nce. Obviously, Fu Sichen had done his homework¡ªnotes littered the document, a few lines even marked by a red pen. He took one look and was almost hooked.
Entering the eternal abyss of the gay universe.
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t understand the world of homosexuality, but he¡¯d heard of it. The circle was mysterious and magical. Basically, if you were able to ept the male-male orientation, life would turn upside down!
Not able to read the script, Pei Zhen picked up the gaming equipment instead.
Before he got into the game, he made sure that he would be able to erase his tracks after.
The first Nintendo games made required the use of a gaming card. On top of that, there was a hand-held control¡ªit was a real test of coordination skills.
Pei Zhen used to be a champion gamer. After he turned into a cat, his paw pad was still very agile. Unbeatable!
¡°Persian cat! Persian cat!¡±
Just as Pei Zhen was hitting a high ying the game, the bird outside his window started to create amotion, calling out to Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen was surprised.
Where did the birde from? It was a highrise building.
More to the point, it seemed that the bird was there to look for him?
The window was sealed and couldn¡¯t open. He didn¡¯t have a choice but to go to the balcony.
The bird was intelligent. When it saw Pei Zhen jumping off
the desk and heading out of the room, he quickly flew towards the balcony, pping its wings and chirping away.
The balcony windows were shut.
With a powerful upward push, Pei Zhen jumped up and managed to open the window. ¡°Do you know me?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the brave Persian cat who saved the guiding dog.¡± Once he opened the window, the bird wasn¡¯t shy about inviting itself onto the balcony. ¡°Being the nosiest bird amongst the flock, of course I know you.¡±

The birds were very noisy and chattered to no end.
¡°My cousin¡¯s sister¡¯s neighbor¡¯s cousin¡¯s brother¡¯s friend lives in the hospital.¡± After rting such aplex rtionship, the bird intended to seek Pei Zhen¡¯s opinion. ¡°You saved a guiding dog previously. I¡¯m sure you can save other dogs too?¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t speak.
He was at aplete loss as to what it was all about.
In the episode where he saved the guiding dog, arge part of the credit went to Fu Sichen!
¡°It¡¯s true; he is devastated.¡± This bird was quite particr and insisted that Pei Zhen¡¯s himself handled this matter. ¡°Because he was ill, he ended up being abandoned.¡±
¡°He is a family-owned dog?¡± asked Pei Zhen.
¡°Yes.¡± The bird was furious at the mention of it. ¡°Initially he was adopted, being mistaken that he had a pedigree. After they brought him home and realized that he was, in fact, a mongrel, their attitude towards him worsened.¡±
The little bird¡¯s thoughts were scattered, and it took Pei Zhen some time before he finally pieced the story together.
So it seemed the family had abandoned the pastoral dog. Then, because it had suffered malnutrition for such a long time, it fell ill and was sometimes unable to control its dder and bowels.
The pastoral dog had pooped in the car.
Having soiled his owner¡¯s car, the owner was furious and violently dragged the dog out of the vehicle. There was even some kicking and punching.
¡°Pooped?¡± Now that the bird mentioned it, Pei Zhen finally recalled what he had heard when they were entering the hotel the night before. Suddenly his heart dropped, and he felt remorse.
He hadn¡¯t imagined things the night before.
If he had known then, he would have immediately investigated the matter.
There was no use feeling regret. Pei Zhen asked the little bird a few more questions to understand the situation, and then turned and ran towards the door.
The little bird followed him out. When they entered the living room, they coincidentally saw a glossy magazine on the table. Immediately the bird eximed, ¡°Oh my! How dashing!¡±
Pei Zhen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the magazine. It was Fu Sichen on the cover, and it was especially dazzling.
Huh! I¡¯m better looking by far!
¡°My god, what a handsome guy!¡± The little bird stopped right there, staring at the magazine as if it had forgotten how to p its wings. Its eyes zed over. ¡°What do you say¡ do I stand a chance to be together with him?¡±
Together?
Pei Zhen was tempted tough out loud.
With an attitude, his paws grabbed the magazine and rudely flipped it over so that the ditzy little bird could no longer stare at Fu Sichen¡¯s picture!
The little bird was hurt and retorted, ¡°Big brother cat¡¡±
¡°The urgent matter on hand is to rescue the dog!¡± He didn¡¯t care how the little bird was feeling. Pei Zhen pushed the chair along, opened the front door and charged towards the underground carpark.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of daytime, the carpark was quiet. Pei Zhen surveyed his surroundings. Nothing. Then he turned to look at the little bird.
¡°The dog was just hiding behind the car when I flew off to get help.¡±
Pointing at a luxury sedan, the little bird continued flying forward. Pei Zhen caught up with her. When they neared the sedan, the helpless whining became louder.
A pastoral dog was lying under the car. Its teary eyes were wide-open, and it was weak and helpless. When it saw the Persian cat, the dog even retreated by pushing itself backward.
Whimper. ¡°Don¡¯te near.¡±
¡°Do I look that scary?¡± Pei Zhen asked.
The little bird spared no effort in trying to please him. ¡°Not at all! You are the ¡°Schwarzenegger¡± amongst cats! If only I could be a cat myself so that I could marry you!¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
He wanted to show his middle finger, but before he could even get his paws to resemble one, they heard footsteps from a distance.
¡°I told you we shouldn¡¯t get a dog.¡±

Chapter 93: The Hired Cat Turned out to Be a Dumb One
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The standard of living had gone up, and most of the more well-off liked to keep cats or dogs as pets.
Perhaps because of that, incidents of irresponsible pet ownership were on the rise.
Many people owned pets as a matter of passing interest. They found the little animals cute, but they also found it inconvenient and bothersome when it came to caring for them.
That was the case with Liu Ou¡¯s family.
When his rtive¡¯s dog gave birth, the puppies were tiny, soft, and so cute they stole your heart. Inspired to keep a pet dog, Liu Ou ¡®reserved¡¯ a puppy.
Great.
After the dog had stayed with her a few months, she put him on a leash and took him for a walk around the estate. When people asked, ¡°What sort of dog is this?¡± The words¡¯ pastoral dog¡¯ would tumble around in her mouth but not find their way out.
¡°Why would one keep a pastoral dog; at least keep a Golden Retriever.¡±
¡°These pastoral dogs are everywhere; there¡¯s no value in keeping them.¡±
¡°Besides, it doesn¡¯t have a pedigree. Who knows what sort of defects it has.¡±
The people in the neighborhood had lots ofments, and they didn¡¯t know how to shut their mouths. After the repeatedments, it became a thorn in Liu Ou¡¯s side, and the pastoral dog gradually became an eyesore to her.
As the pastoral dog became less important to her, so did caring for it. Slowly, even the dog¡¯s basic needs weren¡¯t guaranteed.
Day by day, the pastoral dog¡¯s health condition worsened. Liu Ou was a cruel woman to extend the animal¡¯s sufferings in such a way. It would have been kinder to put the dog down.
¡°If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have brought the dog with us.¡± The footsteps in the carpark grew louder as they approached. The male voice sounded impatient. ¡°Damn it, it really dirtied my car.¡±
¡°Well, what can I do?¡± The woman next to him was Liu Ou, and she was in a bad mood as well. ¡°It¡¯s because your father likes dogs. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I was trying to help you gain favor with the old man, do you think I¡¯d keep a dog?¡±
¡°Huh, so you brought home a dog that pees and poos everywhere?¡±
¡°Lin Xuan, what do you mean by that! If it weren¡¯t for you being so useless, would I need to worry about these things.¡±
¡°Fine. Fine. The priority now is to locate the dog. The old man¡¯s birthday celebration is about to start, so we can¡¯t dy.¡±
The dog¡¯s pooping and peeing the night before had left Liu Ou and her family hopping mad. In a fit of rage, Lin Xuan aggressively dragged the pastoral dog out of the car and kicked it.
After that, he felt jinxed and didn¡¯t care about how the dog was doing. He got into the car again and drove to the carwash.
When he got back, the pastoral dog had gone missing. At that point, it was no real surprise¡ªup until that morning when the old man called up and said that he wanted to see the dog. That was when Lin Xuan and Liu Ou started looking for the dog.
¡°What should we do?¡± Although the little bird had tiny eyes, her hearing was sharp. ¡°Are we really letting them take Xiao Tian away?¡±
¡°Xiao Tian?¡± Pei Zhen was speechless for a moment then signaled towards the dog. ¡°Do you mean him?¡±
¡°Yes. The pastoral dog is called Xiao Tian for short.¡± The little bird had her own way of thinking. ¡°Xiao Bo, hurry up and think of a n.¡±
Xiao Bo¡ my foot!
Trying hard not to roll his eyes in that instance, Pei Zhen made a quick decision to let the little bird keep watch over the ailing dog. Then he made some noise against the floor.
Using his ws to scratch the ground proved to be quite attention-grabbing at such a quiet time of night. Seeing that the two humans heard the sound and it got their attention, the little bird panicked and grew so nervous that she almost attacked the cat.
My god! He was wrong and had made a gross misjudgment. The hired cat turned out to be a dumb one¡ªall the legends were lies!
Just as the bird was extreme panic, the white Persian cat¡ªwith perfect timing¡ªcharged out of nowhere at high speed, causing the two humans to shout aloud in joy, ¡°He¡¯s there!¡±

Chapter 94: Relive the Glory of That Day at the Hospital
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Lin Xuan and Liu Ou saw something sh across their path at high speed, but all they could see was a silhouette.
Instinctively, they felt that it had to be their dog.
However, as they gave chase, they began to feel that something wasn¡¯t quite right.
It wasn¡¯t a pastoral dog; it was obviously a cat! In their anxiety to locate their dog, they were misled.
Another bout of sullenness. Lin Xuan was an uncouth man, so he took off his shoe and threw it at the cat. ¡°Stupid cat!¡±
Naturally, the shoe missed the Persian cat, but it did manage to anger the feline.
Initially intending to act as a lure, Pei Zhen suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. Instead of running, he charged aggressively towards Lin Xuan!
He wasn¡¯t going to hit a woman.
Even if he was a cat, he was going to be a cat with principles.
Unfortunately for Lin Xuan, now all of the cat¡¯s fury would fall solely on him. The Persian cat¡¯s attack was what textbooks described¡ªfast, urate and ferocious¡ªan agile leap, a lifting and then waving of paws, a bite, a scratch and finally a kick; its fluid motion caused him to relive the glory of that day at the hospital.
¡°Arghhhhhh!¡±
The sudden attacked left Lin Xuan aghast. He cried out once and retreated three steps. Before he could put up a defense, the Persian catunched another attack!
¡°The cat attacked me¡±
¡°It¡¯s true. Look! It scratched my clothes to bits.¡±
¡°Deplorable! Whose cat is this? I demandpensation!¡±
The City Centre¡¯s five-star hotel had taken in the most embarrassed guest in history; at the same time, it was guest who was the most difficult.
The woman looked fine apart from her hairdo being a little messed up. But that wasn¡¯t the case with the man. His branded shirt was torn and tattered, and bleeding scratches covered his face and arms¡ªit was tragic.
They were looking for the hotel staff to give them an exnation of the situation. The hotel staff, however, simply thought that the couple was out of their minds.
Attacked by a cat?
A grown man couldn¡¯t fend off a cat?
Furthermore, the hotel didn¡¯t allow guests to bring their pets. Unless they secretly did so through the car park.
Ultimately, the hotel staff decided that these two were lying, and an unconvincing lie at that.
¡°I¡¯m really sorry, Mr. Lin.¡± The hotel manager smiled politely but emotionlessly. ¡°We don¡¯t have any cats in this hotel.¡±
¡°That is not possible.¡± Lin Xuan was getting angrier by the minute. He mmed his palm on the tabletop in a most undignified manner and shouted, ¡°It was a white cat with blue eyes! It was a Persian cat¡ yes! A Persian cat!¡±
As Lin Xuan was saying this, a suddenmotion could be hearding from the direction of the hotel¡¯s main entrance. Amidst the noise, excited shrieking sounded out.
¡°F-Fu¡ ahhhhhh, it¡¯s really him!¡±
¡°My god! Greek god! The living Greek god!¡±
¡°Sichen! Sichen! So dashing!¡±
Lin Xuan thought that the name sounded familiar. He turned around and saw an eye-catching tall and handsome man.
It was really Fu Sichen, the Best Actor.
Fu Sichen was an extremely well-known figure, even people who didn¡¯t follow entertainment news heard of him.
Seeing that a celebrity was approaching, Lin Xuan stopped his ranting. He automatically got up and stepped aside with humbled posture.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Fu Sichen, who was causing everyone to feel surprised, strode straight into the hotel, identally hearing talk concerning the cat. ¡°Persian cat?¡±
¡°Yes, yes¡¡± The hotel manager, also a big fan of Fu Sichen, was blushing heavily and his tone of voice had softened. ¡°This guest insisted that a Persian cat attacked him, but we don¡¯t have any cats in the hotel.¡±
¡®Sorry¡ there is a cat around.¡¯ Wang Youquan thought as he stood to the side.

Best Actor Fu used to be a dedicated professional. It was to the extent that even if he were within ten steps of home, he wouldn¡¯t enter if he hadn¡¯tpleted the day¡¯s work.
What about the Best Actor Fu post-Persian cat?
He had be apletely different person!
He didn¡¯tin once when they removed his makeup or when changing out of his filming wardrobe. Out of thoughtfulness¡ªsince the filming location was at least hours away from his serviced apartment¡ªhe was offered a room in a presidential suite near the filming location, but he had declined.
¡°My Pei Pei will be lonely.¡±
Pei Pei. Pei Pei. And Pei Pei again.
The people who knew him knew that he was talking about the cat. Those who didn¡¯t would have mistakenly thought that Best Actor Fu and Pei Zhen had something going on between them.
Heh heh, however, star manager Wang Youquan was a little off-track with his assumption.
The cat has turned Fu from a noble-man to a worthless scum.
Downfall at lightning speed!
Having traveled a long way back, Fu Sichen initially wanted to go to the carpark directly. However, the staff notified them that the carpark was temporarily sealed off, for the purpose of capturing a cat.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The young valet felt helpless and embarrassed. ¡°There was a guest whoined that a cat attacked him, and now he¡¯s creating a scene in the hotel lobby.¡±
As Fu Sichen approached the hotel entrance, he took no notice of all the shrieking and focused on the words¡¯ Persian cat¡¯ uttered by the man.
As his own Persian cat came to mind, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression darkened. Through the exnation given by the hotel manager, he finally understood what had happened.
¡°Oh.¡± Fu Sichen was born a natural clothes horse. Even when dressed in a in shirt, he exuded an air of nobility with his natural good looks. ¡°Good luck on locating your cat.¡±
Saying that and ignoring all the reactions he was generating, he got into the lift escorted by his bodyguard. He was deep in thought as the lift doors shut.
The hotel did an excellent job keeping confidentiality; even the hotel manager had no idea that the owner of the penthouse was Fu Sichen. He only thought that Fu Sichen had checked into the hotel, and even apologized profusely for the situation that Lin Xuan caused.
¡°Sichen.¡± Other people might not have an idea, but not Wang Youquan. ¡°That cat? Could it be your Persian cat?¡±
¡°Nonsense.¡± Fu Sichen defended his cat with aplomb. ¡°Pei Pei is so well-behaved and cute.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, can you put your hand on your conscience and say that?¡± Wang Youquan asked.
Fu Sichen smiled. ¡°To me, he is that way. As for the attacked party, the fact is that they were at fault.¡±
Wang Youquan didn¡¯t know what else to say.
He really didn¡¯t want to berate Fu Sichen for his blind faith and confidence any longer; he was emotionally exhausted.
¡°Sichen, I heard the young valet say that the male guest¡¯s dog had gone missing.
¡°Let it be. Tramps wouldn¡¯t attract Pei Pei, and he is definitely not interested in dogs.¡±
The password-secured elevator took them straight to the penthouse. The lift bell went off as the doors slid open. Right at Fu Sichen¡¯s doorstep, the Persian cat was in an arched posture, pushing a dog forward.
He had a pure white body and was wearing a ck pet suit with the words ¡°Big Handsome Hunk¡± embroidered on the back. At one nce, it was familiar and unforgettable.
It was a Persian cat by the name of Pei Pei.
¡°Wow.¡± Seeing that Fu Sichen had stopped in his tracks, Wang Youquan peeked out from behind to see what was going on. Immediately he was amused. ¡°Tsk. It¡¯s bad enough that you¡¯ve strayed, but to actually bring your new lover home¡¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression immediately clouded over!
¡°Men.¡± It was a rare moment to see Fu Sichen jealous, and it gave a reason for Wang Youquan to be gleeful. He further patted Fu Sichen on the shoulder, and said, ¡°To live morefortably, one has to give and take.¡±

Green?
Fu Sichen wanted tough in Wang Youquan¡¯s face.
¡°So reflective?¡± With a single move, he shook off Wang Youquan¡¯s hand and said with sarcasm, ¡°Why? Have you been two-timed so much that it has be a habit?¡±
Wang Youquan, the loser, had nothing to say.
By that point, the Persian cat had noticed their presence. He turned to nce at Fu Sichen with curiosity.
Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be filming? Why was the man home so early?
Without meaning to, Pei Zhen gave a meow. Fu Sichen walked up to him with a smile that concealed his jealousy. ¡°If I didn¡¯te home, I wouldn¡¯t have found out that you made a new friend. You even brought her home? Must be a very close friend.¡±
Pei Zhen did not reply.
For some reason, what Fu Sichen said didn¡¯t feel quite right. Pei Zhen could detect some underlying resentment, but it was only for a fleeting moment.
As Pei Zhen was stumped looking for a reply, the fat bird beside him suddenly started chirping, breaking the heavy silence.
¡°So dashing!¡±
¡°My god, my god, my phantom limb is getting a hard-on!¡±
¡°Take me, take me! Best Actor Fu, please take me!¡±
Pei Zhen, who understood what the bird was saying, rolled his eyes.
Iprehensible.
The bird¡¯s previous calm vanished, and it turned frantic on meeting Fu Sichen, chirping about a phantom limb and taking her. Honestly, can¡¯t they have some modesty?
Pei Zhen was displeased and red at the bird. ¡°Put away your phantom limb. You won¡¯t be able to close the inter-species gap.¡±
¡°So what?¡± The bird had almost lost her voice with all the shrieking. ¡°At least we are both males! How do you fall in love with the opposite sex!?¡±
Damn, Pei Zhen thought, this bird is a male?!
¡®If the conversation continues, I¡¯m really going to die.¡¯ thought the severely weakened pastoral dog lying on the ground.
Fortunately, Pei Zhen had his priorities right and ignored the silly bird. He turned back to look at Fu Sichen again, signaling him to pay attention to the pastoral dog.
¡°This dog.¡± Fu Sichen noticed the injuries on the dog¡¯s body and was frowning. ¡°He¡¯s heavily injured.¡±
¡°Seriously.¡± Wang Youquan looked across with a troubled expression. ¡°Sichen, your cat has not only bitten the dog, now he¡¯s trying to hide his body and get rid of the evidence.¡±
¡°Get lost.¡± Fu Sichen chided Wang Youquan roughly, then knelt down and parted the dog¡¯s fur. His skin was covered in gashes and in some ces the blood had clotted. ¡°These wounds were inflicted by a human.¡±
The pastoral dog was indeed grievously wounded.
It was under-nourished and had not been kept clean¡ªfurthermore, the night before it had dirtied itself and smelled quite awful.
It was impressive that Fu Sichen and Wang Youquan didn¡¯tin a bit. The fat bird was touched to the point of tears andmented that Fu Sichen must be an angel sent to earth.
Pei Zhen had mixed emotions; on the one hand, he didn¡¯t want to admit Fu Sichen¡¯s good character, but on the other hand, Fu Sichen was indeed a man of excellent character!
¡°We have to take him to the vet immediately,¡± Fu Sichen said decisively. ¡°Youquan, call the vet. I will carry the dog to the room.¡±
¡°Sure, sure.¡±
Focused on the injured dog, Fu Sichen and Wang Youquan werepletely ignoring the fat bird. The vet who had attended to the Persian cat previously received yet another urgent house-call.
Only, the pet owner he had to face was Fu Sichen yet again.
¡°He¡¯s not my dog.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was cold, and his voice distinctive. ¡°I only want Pei Pei; I¡¯m very loyal.¡±
Pei Zhen and Wang Youquan both rolled their eyes.
Nutcase!
¡°Ok,¡± The vet responded with mixed feelings.

Unlike the cat who had hit his head against the wall, the pastoral dog¡¯s injury was quite serious.
¡°I¡¯ve attended to the wounds.¡± The vet stood up after bandaging the dog, looking quite concerned. ¡°But that¡¯s not enough. He needs regr follow-up.¡±
After he briefed them on things to take note of, the vet left. Out of courtesy, Fu Sichen had Wang Youquan escort the vet out.
There was only a human, a cat, a dog and a bird remaining in the living room.
While filming War of the Pets, the Persian cat had made a few friends among the pets. He couldn¡¯t help it, the filming took ce over a number of days.
But now?
He had been out for only a few hours, why did his Persian cat bring home so many strange animals?
¡°Speak.¡± Fu Sichen sat himself down on the sofa and stretched his arm along the top of the backrest. It was hard to tell if he was smiling. ¡°What was that all about?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll speak, I¡¯ll speak!¡± Seeing Fu Sichen up close in real life, the fat bird thought that he was better looking than in the pictures by far! Unable to contain himself, he shrieked as he flew towards Fu Sichen, ¡°Sweetheart! It was I who saved the dog! There¡¯s no need to reward me. Kiss me! Kiss me, and that would be more than enough!¡±
The fat bird wouldn¡¯t stop chirping. He puckered his beak and charged towards Fu Sichen. Pei Zhen, who was behind him, couldn¡¯t react in time and watched wide-eyed as the fat bird targeted Fu Sichen¡ªhe was enraged.
¡°Stupid fat bird! Stop right there! Damn you¡¡±
You¡¯re not allowed to kiss Fu Sichen!
Thest few words were caught in his throat, unable to make their way out. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t understand his own reaction. Why was he so furious? Why did he care so much if Fu Sichen was going to be kissed?
What the hell.
Pei Zhen clutched at his own face in frustration. Perhaps he was better off not looking. Then he heard a sudden cry.
¡°Hey! Ahhhhh! Greek god!¡±
It was the fat bird.
Pei Zhen instinctively looked up and found that the fat bird, who was trying to take advantage of the situation to get close to Fu Sichen, had been swiped away by Fu Sichen.
With a smacking sound, the fat bird flew in a straight line and smacked against the wall. Immediately, his head spun, and he saw stars.
¡°I¡¯ve said it before. I¡¯m very focused in my affections.¡± Fu Sichen purposefully nced at the Persian cat. ¡°I only keep cats.¡±
Pei Zhen fell silent.
Refusing to admit that he was feeling quite gleeful, he avoided Fu Sichen¡¯s eager gaze and went to take a look at the pastoral dog instead.
The treated pastoral dog looked a little more spirited and in better shape. He looked at Pei Zhen and whispered, ¡°Thank you.¡±
When he first saw the Persian cat, the pastoral dog was timid. However, aftering into contact with it, he realized that the Persian cat was a great cat indeed.
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Pei Zhen shook his head kindly. ¡°It was the fat bird who discovered you first. Although he¡¯s quite silly, he has a good heart.¡±
¡°Who says I am silly? Bleh.¡± The fat bird that was swiped aside tried to stand itself up. pping his wings, he flew to Pei Zhen¡¯s side. ¡°If not for my wittiness, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to locate you.¡±
Pei Zhen smiled without saying anything. He reached his paw out to pat down the dog¡¯s fur and patiently removed the bits of dirt on the pastoral dog¡¯s body.
As Fu Sichen watched the cat, he broke into a smile and suddenly felt better.
Pei Zhen.
The Pei Zhen in his memory was a gentle and kind youth.
Pei Zhen used to keep a pet, and it was a little dog.
The little dog was born with a defective leg and was heartlessly abandoned by its owner, with a sign that said ¡®For a kind soul to adopt,¡¯ as if to lessen the guilt.
It was just a dog.
Fu Sichen had a cold personality towards such things, adopting an attitude that ¡®the individual has his own fate, and likewise for animals.¡¯
But Pei Zhen was unable to remain an observer.
He had taken the little dog home.
Chapter 98 - Fu Sichen! You’re Being Poisoned!
Chapter 98: Fu Sichen! You¡¯re Being Poisoned!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
What was the name of the little dog?
Fu Sichen tried hard to recall¡ªit was something like Big Brother Chen?
Little Brat Pei was a naughty child, even in naming a dog he had to insult other people. Of course, Fu Sichen was on the top of his list of people to get even with.
But Fu Sichen didn¡¯t get upset.
In his heart, he even had a little secret wish, that Big Brother Chen would live for a long time.
Except Big Brother Chen didn¡¯t have it good in life. A short while after being adopted by Pei Zhen, he fell sick and died.
On the day he died, Little Brat Pei¡¯s eyes were red all day.
Fu Sichen stood up and walked towards the pastoral dog, giving the Persian cat a gentle rub. With a smile, he said, ¡°He¡¯ll be okay.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned. He looked up at Fu Sichen, and for an unknown reason, his heart skipped a beat.
Unsure if it was his imagination, Pei Zhen had the nagging feeling that Fu Sichen discovered something.
Could he have discovered that Pei Zhen had turned into a cat?
Not likely.
If Fu Sichen had discovered that, wouldn¡¯t he haveughed at and bullied Pei Zhen to death?
¡°Sichen.¡± Wang Youquan¡¯s voice disrupted Pei Zhen¡¯s train of thought. The great manager Wang had gone downstairs and checked out the situation in the hotel lobby on the way. Looking at the pastoral dog again, his suspicions grew. ¡°This dog, could he belong to that awful man downstairs?¡±
¡°So what if he does?¡± Fu Sichen was not surprised. ¡°Based on his wounds alone, I can expose the man for animal abuse.¡±
¡°Errr¡¡± Wang Youquan hesitated.
¡°Enough. Stop daydreaming; time is of the essence.¡± Fu Sichen was still that old stone-faced and cold-hearted Fu Sichen. He barked orders unapologetically. ¡°Go bathe the dog.¡±
¡°Why me?¡± Wang Youquan retorted.
¡°I only bathe Pei Pei. My hands don¡¯t touch other pets. When you bathe the dog, be extra careful with its wounds.¡±
The human, the cat, and the bird were all speechless.
Best Actor Fu¡¯s standing with the bird had already dropped a few notches. However, with his overly good looks, the fat bird couldn¡¯t bear to let go of his idol.
¡°Xiao Bo.¡± The fat bird flew andnded next to Pei Zhen. He batted his eyes naughtily and said, ¡°You have an unusual rtionship with Best Actor Fu.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes. ¡°What are you even thinking. He and I? Ha, at mostrades.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡± the fat bird replied in an ambiguous tone.
Pei Zhen suspected that Xiao Nian¡¯s soul possessed the fat bird; they had the same sort of nosiness.
Not wanting to fret about this head-splitting matter anymore, Pei Zhen invited the bird to leave. ¡°We¡¯vee to the end of the rescue mission. Shouldn¡¯t you scram?¡±
The fat bird hesitated. ¡°Pei Pei, I heard that you had given a leg up to a parrot and he¡¯s now famous. Since we battled for our lives side-by-side, would you be able to do me the same favor?
Pei Zhen smiled slightly. ¡°So are you retarded? Or just stupid?¡±
The fat bird chirped. ¡°Not even with level 10 birdnguage capability?¡±
¡°Get lost,¡± said Pei Zhen
The pastoral dog felt a lot more alive after a bath and taking his medicine.
Wang Youquan worked diligently, thinking that perhaps Best Actor Fu would be happy with him now. Just when he had hurried Fu Sichen to get back on set, the man abruptly turned back again, after having only just stepped out of the house.
¡°Sichen?¡± Wang Youquan called out, weariness written all over his face.
Fu Sichen bent over and scooped the Persian cat into his arms. ¡°You think I¡¯m going to allow the dog a chance to seduce my Pei Pei? Definitely not!¡±
¡°Fu Sichen! You¡¯re being poisoned!¡±
No matter how much he despised Fu Sichen, the Persian cat didn¡¯t have a choice as Fu Sichen carried him into the mini-van headed out to the filming location.
It seemed that the couple that created a scene had finally left the hotel, and the hotel was peaceful once again.
Fu Sichen and his Persian cat, escorted by the bodyguard, were safely in the car. Pei Zhen epted his fate and almost made a truce with life when Best Actor Fu suddenly shoved the iPad before his face. Ahhhhhhhh!

¡°If you don¡¯t wish to watch a foreign film, let¡¯s support local production?¡±
¡°How about ¡®Farewell to My Concubine?¡¯ I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll like it.¡±
That time around, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t y dramas that Pei Zhen or himself starred in. After having sung his own praises, Fu Sichen was trying hard to open the door to a whole new world.
It was for the sake of Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen was going nuts and on the verge of throwing a rage!
The strange way in which his sworn enemy was behaving made Pei Zhen think that he was gay!
¡°Sichen.¡± Wang Youquan, who was being ignored and relegated to a corner, wiped away the beads of water forming on his forehead. He continued saying, ¡°I-I don¡¯t think this is the right time to find yourself a girlfriend!¡±
Fu Sichen sighed. Suddenly, Wang Youquan had high hopes. ¡°Neither a boyfriend!¡±
Then, he looked at the white ball of Persian cat, and couldn¡¯t help but add, saying, ¡°Not even a pet!¡±
¡°Damn you,¡± thought the unfortunate Pei Zhen who had be a cat. What are you staring at, you twerp!
He was feeling panicky.
Ever since the fat bird mentioned ¡®gay universe,¡¯ Pei Zhen had been feeling unsettled and awkward.
Fu Sichen had been the subject of a few scandals involving female celebrities over the years, but they were all rumors.
Of course, that didn¡¯t mean that he was gay, although chances were high.
¡°Farewell To My Concubine¡± was already ying on the iPad. Who knew whether there was any underlying intention that the scene Fu Sichen skipped to was one where the two leads were kissing.
The two leads were males.
¡°My eyes. Oh, my eyes!¡± Wang Youquan was already crying out.
¡°Shut up,¡± said the annoyed Fu Sichen.
Suddenly, Wang Youquan sat up straight. ¡°We shouldn¡¯t be narrow-minded towards homosexuality. As long as it¡¯s true love, what does it matter if the partner is male or female?¡±
Fu Sichen smiled a smile that sent chills down Wang Youquan¡¯s spine. Wang Youquan waspelled to dere himself to be straighter than a ruler, but Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze turned on Pei Zhen.
¡°Pei Pei, love transcends all boundaries.¡±
That made Pei Zhen fume.
What the hell!
Emotions aside, why was Fu Sichen directing thement at him?!
Cat! He was really just a cat. A snow-white Persian cat!
Feeling confused and nervous, Pei Zhen tried to escape Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace. However, Fu Sichen did not let go and tightened his grip, even gave his cat ears a gentle pinch.
Fu behaved like a hooligan, yet gentle longing filled his eyes. That sent shivers down Pei Zhen¡¯s spine, even on a hot day.
Sorry, he was a straight cat, a straight man! He was straight as a telephone pole!
¡°Darn!¡± The driver cried out, ¡°The telephone pole has snapped, and it¡¯s blocking our path.¡±
Pei Zhen lifted his head and looked out of the window.
The telephone pole along the street was bent. And it looked so different from its fellow sister telephone poles that they didn¡¯t know him anymore.
Oops, I think I made a false deration, thought Pei Zhen, Snigger.jpg.
Fearing that his artiste thought something crooked, Wang Youquan was persistent in getting to the bottom of things. He found out that Fu Sichen was watching gay movies as he had received a gay-themed script.
¡°You seriously want to take this on?¡± As the film industry flourished in recent years,izens had also be more open to the idea of homosexuality. But still, as it wasn¡¯t mainstream, Wang Youquan was worried. ¡°Sichen, you really want to take on a gay role? What about your rich housewives and female fans?¡±
¡°What about them? I like who I like of course.¡± Fu Sichen was not concerned at all. ¡°Don¡¯t worry; they¡¯ll like my wife.¡±
Wife???
Pei Zhen suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Fu Sichen, stunned.

Pei Zhen recalled the copy of the script that he saw in Fu Sichen¡¯s bedroom.
Indeed it was a gay-themed script.
Which male star had Fu Sichen been close totely?
Pei Zhen gave it a hard think. None.
Who was the ¡®wife¡¯ that he was referring to?
Pei Zhen was irritated as hell.
They had started filming.
It was a period drama, and of course, Fu Sichen was the male lead.
He was ying the role of a Prince Regent, whom on the one hand tried to suppress the young emperor, and on the other hand, nned to usurp the throne.
¡°Teacher Fu.¡± The actor ying the young emperor was a newbie, fresh blood. He was humble, although not quite there yet in acting skills. He looked at Fu Sichen in awe. ¡°I¡¯m still not able to grasp the emotion of having to bite the bullet and endure the humiliation. Can you give me some advice?¡±
The Persian cat lying leisurely on the sofa swang its tail and thought, ¡°Teach my foot! Figure it out yourself! Do people have to feed you during mealtime!¡±
The Persian cat¡¯s words came true.
The young emperor had fallen ill in the drama, and in his unwell state threw a rare tantrum, asking for the Prince Regent to feed him porridge.
Fu Sichen, well-built and with his long hair knotted into a bun, wore a ck official¡¯s robe. He exuded an air of royalty, and his features were sharp and defined, as handsome as a picture.
Fu Sichen¡¯s acting was superb, and the newbie actor also got into the character. The scene about the young emperor trying to coax the Prince Regent was well-executed.
¡°Uncle, Uncle. I wish to have you feed me porridge again.¡± The young emperor on the imperial bed was pale, but his eyes shone. He had a very pleasant smile. ¡°Uncle, please grant me my request, and I will give you my kingdom.¡±
¡°Your Highness, I wouldn¡¯t even dare to think it.¡± The tall and handsome Prince Regent bowed with his fist sped. Although he expressed his fear, his attitude was steady. ¡°Ruling a kingdom is not something to be taken lightly, your Highness, it is not a game. If you should need my service, I will sacrifice my life without hesitation. Feeding you porridge is nothing.¡±
There was no sincerity to be seen, spoken or otherwise. Conversely, it was the porridge feeding scene that brought out the heart-warming rtionship between Uncle and nephew.
¡°Ahhhhhhh, so dashing, such a good match.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it, that¡¯s it, I want this coupling!
¡°Seriously! This love and hate is too heartbreaking!¡±
There were frantic shrieks that could be hearding from among the field staff that was present. Although they were talking in low voices, Pei Zhen¡¯s cat ears were particrly sharp. He looked crestfallen.
F***!
Weren¡¯t you people previously big fans of Best Actor Fu and his Persian cat.
Huh. Women. All pig¡¯s trotters.
It was best not to know where the strange anger wasing from. Pei Zhen could not bear to continue watching the lovey-dovey ¡®Prince Regent¡¯ and ¡®Young Emperor.¡¯ He jumped off the sofa intending to head off.
¡°Er, Great Ancestor.¡± s, the responsibilityden Wang Youquan was dutifully keeping an eye on him. ¡°By Best Actor Fu¡¯s order, if you try to leave, we¡¯ll have to spay you immediately.¡±
Freaking hell! Pei Zhen swore.
¡°Great, cut.¡±
Uponpleting the porridge-feeding scene, the young actor experienced the joy of acting for the first time. Before he could thank Fu Sichen, Fu Sichen had turned and walked towards the director.
¡°Director Wang, I have a suggestion.¡±
¡°Can we have the Prince Regent own a pet?¡±
¡°We can show the gentle side of the Prince Regent through his rtionship with his pet. The contrast will make the character moreplete, wouldn¡¯t it?¡±
The director felt that the proposal made sense, but it ced him on the spot. ¡°But the filming schedule is packed, where are we going to find a pet?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not an issue,¡± Fu Sichen said with a smile. ¡°I have Pei Pei.¡±

Initially, it had nothing to do with the cat. And now it was another significant mark in his acting career.
On the surface, he was Fu Sichen¡¯s pet. In reality, this was a fate he couldn¡¯t escape.
Ever since Fu Sichen¡¯s mention of the ¡®two sides of the Prince Regent,¡¯ the Director was impressed. Seeing that there was a pet at hand, he readily agreed to Fu Sichen¡¯s suggestion.
Realizing that he had to share the screen with his sworn enemy again, Pei Zhen initially put up a fierce struggle.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t even have to mention the possibility of spaying. He gave the cat an elusive look, and made an ambiguous statement, ¡°Not acting? Fine. Let me kiss you.¡±
Kiss?!
Pei Zhen almost attacked again. But when he looked up into Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes, he felt his blood rushing into his face.
The scene at the hospital shed in his mind¡ªthe scene where Fu Sichen was holding him, or rather his body, and kissing him.
Fu Sichen¡¯s mental retardation aside, even if he was just trying to y the part of a prince waking up his princess with a kiss, Pei Zhen still felt his heart rate quickening uncontrobly.
Hence, in that moment of emotional confusion, Pei Zhen was dominated and conquered by Fu Sichen. By the time he snapped out of his thoughts, he was in front of the camera.
Fu Sichen was still in his royal robe, and the background was the imperial garden in full bloom. The white Persian cat was wearing a specially tailored silk suit and was lying on the stone table in a leisurely manner.
We have guests.
Ever since the Prince Regent took control of the imperial court, guests had been streaming through the imperial residence.
Most of the visitors were there to suck up¡ªthe officials weren¡¯t stupid. Now that the young emperor was isted, he was no match for the Prince Regent.
¡°Ninth Prince.¡± Minister Shang Shu looked kind, but he was full of designs and intentions. ¡°In the past, the emperor Yao abdicated his throne to Shun, who was not his bloodline sessor. A capable leader should govern the country.¡±
His words were clever.
It was both a test and incitement.
From a certain perspective, the words could get him into deep trouble and cost him his life.
The Prince Regent sat back casually, not letting Minister Shang Shu finish what he was saying. He rested his chin on one hand, and the finger he was using to tease the tea leaves was slender and elegant.
He curled his lips in a slight smile, but it was emotionless.
¡°Minister Shang Shu is joking.¡± As the boiling water hit the tea leaves, their fragrance was released. The swirling mist blurred the handsome but cold features of the Prince Regent. ¡°His Highness is a wise ruler, I only wish to be the loyal subject, and I¡¯d be content to be named a dedicated subordinate after I pass on.¡±
The Prince Regent said that to express hisck of ambition. Turning to the Persian cat behind him, he signaled to the cat with a curl of his finger, calling out ¡®Beauty.¡¯
¡®Beauty¡¯ was astute. The moment his master signaled to him, he sprinted over quickly. cing both his forepaws on the Prince Regent¡¯s chest, he stuck out his little pink tongue to lick him.
The Prince Regent was a little more cunning and purposefully lowered his head, catching the cat¡¯s lips with his own.
Flower tea on the parted lips, the cat and the man were a picture perfect.
¡°Cut.¡±
The imagery stopped at the kissing scene as the Director called for a break. He was impressed. ¡°Good, this is great.¡±
Not only was Fu Sichen¡¯s acting top-notch, but even his cat had a talent for acting!
¡°Teacher Fu, you have a good rtionship with your cat.¡±
¡°The Prince Regent is very tender; I¡¯ve fallen for a viin for the first time!¡±
¡°Thatst kiss was the ultimate¡ er¡ this is Best Actor Fu¡¯s debut screen kiss?¡±
Who would have known, at the mention of this, the crowd suddenly realized it was his Debut! Screen! Kiss!!!
Chapter 102 - Pet Manager
Chapter 102: Pet Manager
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Before the drama Prince Regent even premiered, the filming crew could already imagine its viewership would shoot through the roof.
True, that.
With a gimmick like ¡®Best Actor Fu¡¯s Debut Screen Kiss,¡¯ there was no fear ofck of viewership.
Truly.
The people would never have guessed that Fu Sichen¡¯s first screen kiss would go to a cat!
Those who reacted, especially thedies who were there, were green with envy.
The Persian cat found that ludicrous; he was ashamed and angry and wanted to give it his middle finger.
Damn it!
That stinker Fu Sichen once again kissed him!
Pei Zhen was livid by the repeated close encounter. He hadn¡¯t even had the time to extend his ws when Fu Sichen scooped him into his arms, got up and walked away.
Wang Youquan and the makeup artist took the opportunity during the break to serve water and refresh Fu Sichen¡¯s makeup. Wang Youquan took the cat from Fu Sichen, leaving no chance for the cat tounch an attack on his owner.
¡°Youquan.¡± Fu Sichen gave a few instructions as the makeup artist went about dusting and powdering his face. ¡°Book me a room.¡±
¡°What?¡± asked Youquan, who was cautiously coaxing the Persian cat.
¡°Didn¡¯t you want me to put up at a hotel?¡± Fu Sichen nced at the Persian cat. ¡°Now I¡¯m agreeing.¡±
Wang Youquan was puzzled.
He followed the direction of Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze¡ªit was still on the demonic Persian cat.
It was because of the cat.
Wang Youquan suddenly felt ufortable, and couldn¡¯t bring himself to be happy.
The manager was unable to persuade his own artist, and his egopletely tumbled and was thoroughly crushed.
He wanted to cry¡ªneeded a big cry!
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t agree either.
Ever since he turned into a cat, he had been continually making free appearances¡ªwhether it was for a magazine or a variety show. The drama filming aside, ording to Fu Sichen¡¯stest arrangement, was he nning to exploit his cat into petbor?
How shameful!
Pei Zhen angrily protested. Unfortunately, every time he opened his mouth, he could only meow weakly. What a freaking nuisance!
It was one thing to shy away from catbor, but there was a rescued pastoral dog at home. The dog was badly injured, and Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t rest his mind until it recovered.
Wang Youquan also thought about the pastoral dog. ¡°Sichen, if you stay in a hotel, the dog at home¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll allow you to look after it.¡±
¡°What?¡± Suddenly demoted from being Best Actor Fu¡¯s manager to a dog manager, Wang Youquan was somewhat embarrassed. ¡°That won¡¯t work. You need someone to look after you. You¡¡±
¡°The Persian cat needs a manager too, just like the pastoral dog does.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s words surprised both Pei Zhen and Wang Youquan, and they widened their eyes. Before they could make sense of what Fu Sichen meant by those words, someone arrived amidst the filming, creating a smallmotion.
¡°Excuse me, sorry, please let me pass.¡± A familiar voice, a familiar ent¡ªthe figure making its way through the crowd was a familiar one. ¡°Pei Pei, Best Actor Fu.¡±
Pei Zhen was surprised.
Seeing the rapidly approaching Xiao Nian, Pei Zhen suddenly felt a massive headacheing on.
Why had his manager appeared?
Surely he wasn¡¯t here to be a pet manager?
Crap!
Xiao Nian carried a bento box in one hand, and a cat teaser in the other. He walked up to them as though he¡¯d traveled a long way. He was moved to tears when he looked at Pei Zhen eye-to-eye.
¡°Pei Pei¡ Pei Pei!¡±
It seemed like years since theyst met.
¡°Xiao Nian.¡± Seeing that the man was about to overwhelm the cat, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression clouded over, like a stormy sky.
¡°Yes, I have it here.¡± Xiao Nian scurried over to present the food he had bought. ¡°24k cat food, standard price!¡±

Xiao Nian really served Pei Zhen like a cat.
It was obviously seafood, but he imed it to be cat food.
Wang Youquan stared in disbelief.
He looked at the badly-scratched Xiao Nian, and then at the deity-like Persian cat. Wang Youquan was at a loss for words. ¡°Xiao Nian, the Persian cat¡¯s pet manager?¡±
Fu Sichen gave a derisive cough and said, ¡°You wish. He is only an assistant.¡±
¡°Oh, so the manager is¡?¡± asked Wang Youquan.
¡°Of course it¡¯s me,¡± Fu Sichen replied.
While Fu Sichen said it as though it was a matter of course, it sent Wang Youquan into a dizzying confusion.
What freaking pet manager? Could Best Actor Fu get any more ridiculous than that!
Tyrant!
Wang Youquan was distressed. He looked at Fu Sichen and knew in his heart that there was no use arguing with him. He tried a different angle of attack and said to Xiao Nian, ¡°My brother, even if Pei Zhen isatose, there¡¯s no reason for you to take it out on yourself by bing¡ cough, cough¡ an assistant.¡±
¡°Not at all.¡± Xiao Nian looked intently at the Persian cat. ¡°Pei Pei is so adorable.¡±
Such a freaking disappointment thought Wang Youquan.
The great manager Xiao proved to be quite a responsible Pet Assistant.
He busied himself with the Persian cat¡¯s daily essentials and was always at hand.
Before Best Actor Fu, Xiao Nian was humble and polite. However, the minute Best Actor Fu¡¯s turned his back, the ugly side of him showed through. ¡°Daddy!¡±
Pei Zhen heartlessly waved the crying Xiao Nian aside. ¡°Scram!¡± Two-faced creatures were not worthy of Daddy¡¯s affections.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± The rejection hurt Xiao Nian. ¡°I know things are difficult for you, but I have been seriously looking for a Shaman. My heart is with Daddy, and to save your cat life!¡±
The exhausted Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
Pei Zhen had a bigger problem than the Shaman.
Emmmmm¡.
It was probably the blossoming of a young heart¡
He couldn¡¯t understand why he was all flushed when facing Fu Sichen, his sworn enemy and stinker.
It¡¯s not wise to confess to such things.
Especially when he himself was unsure, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to say it as it would scare the idiot Xiao Nian.
Mncholic.
Too worried for words.
¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian got anxious when Pei Zhen ignored him. Lowering his voice, he said, ¡°Say, your parents are archaeologists, right? They are so knowledgeable, so perhaps they will have a solution?¡±
¡°No go.¡± At the mention of his parents, Pei Zhen immediately vetoed the idea and started to type on his mobile phone. [Don¡¯t tell them, they will worry.]
Plus, what Pei Zhen feared, even more, was that the pair of Condor Heroes would get all curious and start to examine him!
Whether it was a human turning into a cat or attempting to unravel the mystery behind a two-thousand-year-old skull, the Condor Heroes would be equally enthusiastic.
¡°What do we do then?¡± The pitiful Xiao Nian was crestfallen. ¡°Pei Pei, ever since your ident, I havee to a stand-still.¡±
Career stand-still.
Given Xiao Nian¡¯s seniority, managing a fresh artiste would have been quite a waste. On the other hand, the other managers weren¡¯t too willing to have him take on the already-popr celebrities.
Hence when Fu Sichen dangled the ¡®Pet Assistant¡¯ carrot, Xiao Nian saw it as a goodpromise and readilypped it up.
In that matter, Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t too keen, although he had little energy to fight it. [Continue to look for a Shaman. Otherwise, you can count on being a pet manager forever.]
Doh.
Xiao Nian was in a real dilemma.
Actually, Dong Hai Fairy Xiao Nian Nian was keeping a secret.

¡°That¡¯s right, a human turning into an animal¡ I know it¡¯s like a fantasy story, er¡ Aunty Pei, I¡¯m just saying that on a whim, and there¡¯s really no one for you to examine.¡±
Fu Sichen felt cornered.
He was trying to be vague, and in the end, he didn¡¯t reveal the truth.
His sword-like brows were knitted together in a worried frown. Even if he was on friendly terms with his Aunty Pei, he had to be on his toes when talking to the very sharp and quick Condor Heroes.
¡°Ancient jade? The myth that wearing it will result in separation from the soul?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Aunty Pei, can you send it to me¡ it¡¯s urgent.¡±
On the pretext of going to the restroom, Fu Sichen made a phone call around the corner of the quiet corridor for a good half an hour. On returning to the hotel room, he exchanged looks with Xiao Nian.
Compared to the initial hostility, this time the look they shared was a meaningful one.
¡°Where¡¯s Pei Pei.¡±
¡°ying games,¡± Xiao Nian replied.
¡°Okay.¡± Fu Sichen nodded. ¡°For now, I¡¯ll leave you to deal with the hospital.¡±
With filming going on, Fu Sichen was unable to get away. Xiao Nian agreed and was about to leave, when Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but quickly say, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to touch him.¡±
¡°Sure, Best Actor Fu. Your wish is mymand, Best Actor Fu,¡± Xiao Nian replied.
What¡¯s wrong with them.
Weren¡¯t they childhood buddies? When Pei Zhen was well, they were always cold towards each other. It was only after the ident they had started to act gay.
Xiao Nian was full of curiosity, but hecked the courage to ask Fu Sichen. After receiving the orders from Fu Sichen, he quietly left.
Dong Hai Fairy Xiao Nian Nian had a deeply-held secret that he had never dared to tell Daddy Pei.
Just a few days ago, when Fu Sichen charged into his office, Xiao Nian had confronted him. There was some back and forth, but in the end, Xiao Nian lost out.
He revealed the matter of Pei Zhen turning into a cat. Xiao Nian didn¡¯t dare to inform Pei Zhen, fearing that Pei Zhen would be deeply affected by it.
Hence, having known all about Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t express any surprise when he entered in through the door and saw the Persian cat ying games with the hand-held controller.
¡°Hey! Make your move already! What are you waiting for?!¡±
Pei Zhen was ying a multi-yer game, and he was the main attacker. He was out for vengeance and trying to kill everyone. Only, his virtual teammates were not doing their part and were dodging all over the ce, wasting many opportunities.
His swearing and cursing were just meowing that no one understood. Pei Zhen got angrier as he yed, and in a moment of frustration, he raised the gun and shot his virtual teammates!
With no one burdening him any longer, Pei Zhen charged ahead. He was close to destroying the enemy¡¯sir when suddenly someone grabbed his controller.
What?
Pei Zhen looked up from the game reluctantly. As he expected, it was Fu Sichen. That put him in an even worse mood. Baring his teeth, he demanded Fu Sichen let go.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Fu Sichen instead smiled at him and said with his low sultry voice, ¡°I¡¯m home.¡±
Pei Zhen made no reply.
So what if he was home.
What an odd thing to tell a cat!
What the hell, he wasn¡¯t even Fu Sichen¡¯s partner!
Although disliking it, Pei Zhen felt his face turn hot and his heart start thumping a little too loudly.
They looked into each other¡¯s eyes for what seemed like forever. Around them, sweet pink bubbles were rising.
Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were dark, deep, and mesmerizing. Pei Zhen felt himself falling into the deep abyss and had forgotten to extend his ws. When the gaming system prompted ¡®KO¡¯ with an rm, Pei Zhen suddenly gave a distressed meow.
Ahhhh, he had been sneak-attacked!
Ahhhh, he was dead, and his virtual teammate reported him!
Arghhhhh¡ it was all Fu Sichen¡¯s fault, the stinker!
¡°They bullied you? Huh. Let me teach them what devastation is.¡±

It was because Fu Sichen became an actor that he didn¡¯t end up being a professional gamer.
For years he focused so much on his career that he had neglected gaming, but his skills were more than adequate for challenging the average gamer.
Before Pei Zhen could stop him, Fu Sichen had taken over the hand-held controller.
Fu Sichen had long slender fingers with prominent joints. His finger movements were fast when operating the game control, and they cast a surprisingly beautiful silhouette.
Pei Zhen looked on in awe.
In his memory, Genius Fu from the ss next door had always taken good care of him. Whenever he ran into problems, whether it was school work or healthpared to his own parents who were always engrossed in their work¡ªGenius Fu would spend a lot more time with him.
Pei Zhen never med the Condor Heroes, because he understood the demands of archaeology. It was just that, whenever he was home during the holidays, the house would feel cold and empty at night.
It was lonesome.
No matter how much attention he stirred up in school, the moment he got home he was just an abandoned kid.
When he looked back, he saw his high school days as cold and cruel. They were only made better by Genius Fu¡¯s asional provocation.
¡°You don¡¯t know how to answer such an easy question?¡±
¡°Has your experiment gone wrong again?¡±
¡°You¡¯re like a delicatedy, actually falling sick.¡±
Genius Fu¡¯s attractiveness was intimidating. When he spoke with hardly any expression on his handsome face, it had the potential of hurting people quite severely. Because of that, Pei Zhen subconsciouslypeted with Fu Sichen and treated him like a sworn enemy.
Ill fate.
But, as Pei Zhen the cat recalled the past, there were none of the ill feelings of that time. In fact, he found it quite funny.
It was such a childish game.
¡°Victory!¡±
A female robotic voiceing from the gaming system proimed, interrupting Pei Zhen¡¯s train of thought. He looked up to see that all his virtual enemies were dead.
Not only were the enemies dead, but Fu Sichen manipted the game figure he was controlling to arrange the dead bodies in the shape of the letters ¡®PZ¡¯.
Pei Zhen was at a loss for words.
The meaning of the letters aside, he felt that the act was thoroughly insulting!
¡°Okay, done.¡± Tossing the hand-held controller aside, Fu Sichen reached out to draw Pei Zhen into his embrace. ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡±
Excuse me, even if I feel bad, it¡¯s only towards you, thought Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen ced Pei Zhen on the table, where he and the cat could look at each other at eye level. They were in close proximity¡ªthe sort of proximity that left one feeling anxious and ambiguous.
Heart beating wildly and face flushed.
Pei Zhen started to find it difficult to breathe.
¡®Ding dong¡¡¯
The sudden chiming of the doorbell rescued the helpless and confused Pei Zhen. Fu Sichen nced at the doorbell and made a noise indicating his annoyance, seeming quite impatient.
The person at the door was persistent and hit the doorbell again when no one opened the door after the first ring.
That b***** of a Wang Youquan, he¡¯s just a never-ending problem.
Cursing and swearing, Fu Sichen got up to open the door with impatience written all over his face. ¡°Wang Youquan, if I screw up on my acting on the set tomorrow, it will be your fault¡ You?¡±
When the door opened, it wasn¡¯t Wang Youquan but the tender young actor.
Standing before Fu Sichen, he looked terribly awkward and blushed.
Pei Zhen, being curious, turned to look at what was going on. It was the actor who yed the young emperor role.
Coming to Fu Sichen like that in the middle of the night, what would a single man want with another single man? Was he looking for a rendezvous?
¡°Best Actor Fu, are you free at the moment?¡±
¡°Are you looking to borrow some money? There¡¯s none here.¡±
Chapter 106 - He Is My Sweetheart
Chapter 106: He Is My Sweetheart
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Borrowing money?
The mention of borrowing money cracked Pei Zhen up, not to mention the tender actor standing at the door.
What idiot would look for Fu Sichen in the middle of the night to borrow money?
Are you mad!
¡°No, not at all¡¡± The young actor was obviously caught off-guard by the assumption. He could only go on to say, ¡°I-I-I¡¯m not here to borrow money. I only wanted to¡¡±
¡°Wanted to give the cat a rub?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s expression suddenly darkened. ¡°Dream on.¡±
His tone gave no chance for the young actor to get a word in. With that, Fu Sichen shut the door to the bedroom with a bang.
¡°Who knows what his ulterior motives are. If he likes cats, then he can go get one himself.¡±
Pei Zhen said nothing.
He looked at the tall and magnificent Fu Sichen and was thoroughly disappointed by hisck of EQ.
What an idiot, Best Actor Fu!
But even if Fu Sichencked EQ, his position in society was solid. No matter how displeased the young actor was at not being able to achieve his objective, what could he do?
Filming continued the next day, and coincidentally, the young actor¡¯s role required him to project an expression of being at a loss for words. He was fortunate. At the very least, when he saw Fu Sichen, the expression came naturally.
¡°Good. Great job, everyone.¡±
The filming progressed nicely, and they were ahead of schedule. The director was in an exceptionally good mood and hadn¡¯t scolded anyone. Most days he had a big grin on his face.
Coincidentally, at noon when filming ended for the day, one of the actors also finished the filming for his role. He offered to buy everyone dinner, and the director agreed.
However, Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t too keen.
It was Wang Youquan who had to talk him into it. ¡°You can¡¯t decline when it¡¯s Best Actress Liu Tiantian extending the invitation. Fu Sichen, if you continue being this way, I¡¯m going to part ways with you!¡±
Fu Sichen swept his gaze over Wang Youquan from top to bottom, and said derisively,¡± You? One word. Unattractive.¡±
Fu Sichen meant that whatever Wang Youquan said about parting ways was just daydreaming. Whether it was a delusion or a joke, unattractive people didn¡¯t stand a chance.
¡°Damn!¡± Wang Youquan almost fainted.
While it was true that he couldn¡¯t match up to the celebrities in the looks department, at least among the managers, he was one of the best looking. In fact, he almost earned the ¡®Best Looking Manager¡¯ title the previous year!
However, as insulting as Fu Sichen was towards Wang Youquan, he eventually attended the event.
Only, he had to take the Persian cat along with him. That angered Wang Youquan so much that two autographed photos of his idol did nothing to cool him down.
¡°You¡¯re poisoned.¡± Holding a ss of wine in one trembling hand, Wang Youquan said, ¡°This cat is like your life¡ªyou have to take him with you everywhere you go.¡±
He didn¡¯t take any notice of the strange stares from the other celebrities. Due to his fame and status, people made an exception for Fu Sichen. Others would have been thrown out already.
¡°He is my everything.¡± Fu Sichen was holding a te of seafood and found a seat for himself. ¡°Wang Youquan, don¡¯t forget who got you the autographed pictures.¡±
Did he really take Best Actor Fu for a fool?
Liu Tiantian was the goddess of the performing arts industry¡ªpretty and talented. Wang Youquan adored her but was too shy to approach her for her autograph. So he had begged Fu Sichen to rush over to the event and to help him ask for an autograph.
When Best Actor Fu was the one asking, it was hard to go wrong.
Having sessfully pocketed two autographed pictures of his idol, Wang Youquan thought that it was really too much of Fu Sichen to take the cat to the event.
¡°Wang Youquan.¡± Fu Sichen ced the de-boned fish meat before the Persian cat, and faintly said, ¡°I do have Liu Tiantian¡¯s WeChat number.¡±
Wang Youquan widened his eyes, and his heart leaped. ¡°Sichen!¡±
¡°Quiet. Shut up and bring us another te of seafood.¡±

That was what the entertainment circle was like; there would always be numerous social events.
People with all sorts of motivations, all dressed up in glitz and mour, swaying and making their way among the crowds. They would be smiling away, but one never knew if they got what they wanted.
The young actor who visited the night before was certainly not the first; many starlets were hoping to gain connections to Fu Sichen.
Initially, he thought that the event was an opportunity.
But¡
It seemed that all of Fu Sichen¡¯s attention was on the Persian cat?
¡°Best Actor Fu likes cats?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t know that! If I had known, I¡¯d have brought my Xiao Hei.¡±
¡°Are you stupid. Leading Lady Lee has already sent her assistant to run home to get her dog.¡±
¡°Damn!¡±
In the time that Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t paying attention, the event crowd had grown, and there were waves of people moving in and out of the venue.
But the amazing thing was that many of the people moving in and out were carrying cats or dogs with them.
It bbergasted the restaurant manager.
The restaurant staff had never experienced that sort of situation and were almost in tears. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, we don¡¯t allow pets here.¡±
It wouldn¡¯t have been so bad if there were just one or two animals; it was that everyone was carrying one in their arms.
¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve reserved the entire venue this evening.¡± Best Actress Liu Tiantian liked animals and wasn¡¯t angry at all seeing the furry friends at the event. Sheughed heartily. ¡°They¡¯re so cute!¡±
It was out of the restaurant manager¡¯s hands. He could only ept the situation, and quietly added a cleaning fee to the event bill.
For the sake of Liu Tiantian¡¯s WeChat number, Wang Youquan reluctantly ran back and forth serving food and drinks,pletely at Fu Sichen¡¯s beck and call.
Finally, there was some breathing space for him to go to the toilet. When he came back out, however, the atmosphere at the event had taken a turn.
The pets were running all over the ce, either meowing or barking. There was even a celebrity who had a special taste in animals and had brought a snake.
The snake was fat and hissing away, tongue slithering, causing a group of female celebrities to turn white in fright. They were screaming as they retreated from the serpent.
¡°My snake doesn¡¯t bite, seriously.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not venomous; it¡¯s just a pet.¡±
¡°Whimper. It feels cool.¡±
Cool?
No one agreed with that.
Some people couldn¡¯t help shuddering at the sight of the sinister snake. In the end, the young actor who owned the snake was asked to leave the event despite his pleas.
Naturally, his beloved snake left with him.
This bunch of crazy celebrities gathered in little groups, talking about ¡®Alice¡¯ and ¡®Jack Sue¡¯, turning a proper event into a pets matchmaking meeting.
Furthermore, Fu Sichen¡¯s Persian cat had be the target stud.
¡°Best Actor Fu, your Persian cat has not been neutered, has he?¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, look at my Zhu Zhu. Although she¡¯s fat, she looks stunning.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu¡¡±
It was reasonable enough to have pet owners trying to matchmake their female cats, but there was actually a male cat owner boldly iming that he¡¯d like to match his cat with Pei Pei. He imed the Persian cat Pei Pei had good features and must be the alpha among all gay cats.
Pei Pei¡¯s ego waspletely crushed and felt like he had just mated with a whole zoo of animals.
¡°I¡¯m not going mate Pei Pei.¡± Although all sorts of animals were before him, Fu Sichen only had eyes for the cat in his arms.
Pretentious. Shameful. Cheap bastard.
Not caring if the other cat is stunning or not, to Fu Sichen it was just a vixen.
Now that Pei Zhen was a cat, would he also adopt the behavioral habits of a cat?
Fu Sichen became ufortable with this idea and suddenly got up. ¡°Get out of the way. I¡¯m taking my cat to be spayed.¡±

Pei Zhen felt freaking faint.
He had no idea what the EQ-less Fu Sichen was thinking.
He couldn¡¯t even have a peaceful meal!
He was already trying his best to put his own ego aside!
He¡
Pei Zhen was angry and shamed to the point of tears. It felt like there was a fire raging in his heart and the thick fumes couldn¡¯t find an outlet!
¡°Don¡¯t be rash, Best Actor Fu.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, are you really going to neuter the cat?¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, even if you¡¯re really going to do that, can my cat be friends with your cat?¡±
Fu Sichen strode briskly. As he was tall, he took big steps, so Wang Youquan had to run to keep up. ¡°Sichen, are you really getting the cat spayed?¡±
¡°Sichen, think again. I heard that if the pet is not psychologically prepared for the process, they may end up with depression.¡±
¡°Sichen, Sichen. Or maybe have a chat with Lin Yousu? After all, this cat used to be hers.¡±
Things would¡¯ve been fine if Wang Youquan didn¡¯t mention Lin Yousu¡¯s name. The moment he said the name of the cat¡¯s previous owner, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression clouded over and turned icy, like an impending storm. Wang Youquan retreated.
¡°It¡¯s illegal to murder. Although I¡¯m not as good looking as you, all life is equal!¡±
¡°Huh.¡± Fu Sichen chortled.
He got into the car carrying the cat and mmed the door shut.
The mini-van had great security features. From inside the van, one could see what was outside, but nobody outside could see the inside. Once Fu Sichen got into the car, he suddenly pinned the cat down.
Pei Zhen was lying on the seat struggling.
Freaking hell!
He was in a dangerous position!
¡°Don¡¯t spay? And let you hook up with female cats?¡± With one hand, Fu Sichen was able to control the wriggling Pei Zhenpletely. ¡°Spaying you is not such a bad idea. In any case, you are the bottom party.¡±
Meow. Meow. Meow. Bottom party?! What bottom party?!
¡°Are you surprised?¡± Fu Sichen smiled icily. ¡°I¡¯ve liked you for so long, and I¡¯d still have to be the bottom party?¡± Meow. Meow. Meow. Bottom party?! What bottom party?!
What?
What!!!
Pei Zhen who was straighter than a telephone pole was shocked¡ªlike a bolt of lightning in clear blue skies. It wasn¡¯t confusion, and it wasn¡¯t difort.
It was pure shock.
Too shocking. His mind was aplete nk.
Even when Fu Sichen leaned in to kiss him, he felt nothing.
It wasn¡¯t a real kiss, just a light touch before he released the cat. As Fu Sichen drove out of the carpark, Pei Zhen was still in shock and wasn¡¯t sure what to think about apart from a few strange random thoughts.
¡°It¡¯s nighttime; the vets are closed. There¡¯s no chance you¡¯re getting me spayed, hahaha.¡±
He must have gone quite mad from the shock!
Of course, the reality was that Fu Sichen didn¡¯t go to the vet, but drove to the hospital.
The nurse on the night shift was surprised.
Carrying his cat, Fu Sichen marched towards Pei Zhen¡¯s¡ªor rather, his body¡¯s¡ªroom.
¡°Best Actor Fu, Best Actor Fu.¡± The nurse hurried after him. He turned around and red at her. She shrank back, and said with a trembling voice, ¡°I-I¡¯ll open the door for you. P-please don¡¯t disturb the other patients.¡±
The nurse took out the keys with shaking hands to unlock the door. Very quickly, Fu Sichen entered the room, and before the nurse could even look up, the door had been mmed shut.
¡°Are you still not going to wake up?¡± Fu Sichen shoved the cat onto the bed. He held Pei Zhen¡¯s face¡ªit wasn¡¯t clear who was meant to hear what he said.
¡°Pardon me for being a beast then.¡±

Best Actor Fu was also known to be pure and innocent.
In histe twenties, before the whole encounter with the Persian cat, his first screen kiss was only a legend. There were rumor-mongers specting that Fu Sichen must have been a terrible kisser.
Cough.
Those who believed him to be a lousy kisser didn¡¯t know him very well.
Ever since Best Actor Fu fell in love with Pei Zhen, only heaven knew how much research Fu Sichen had done. And even if he had little chance to practice, wouldn¡¯t theory be enough to get him through a kiss?
Fu Sichen lowered his head.
His lips met Pei Zhen¡¯s. Parting Pei Zhen¡¯s teeth, his tongue entered to explore the inside of Pei Zhen¡¯s mouth. It was a sticky, sultry kiss. With one hand, Fu Sichen held the side of Pei Zhen¡¯s jaw while his other hand lingered on Pei Zhen¡¯s waist. The closer his body came to Pei Zhen¡¯s, the wider the Persian cat¡¯s eyes were.
This?
This¡
Pei Zhen felt as though his body was on fire. His face was flushed, and his heart pounded rapidly. Every time Fu Sichen made a sound in his throat, it made his heart erratic, as though a feather tickled it.
As blood gushed upwards into his head, Pei Zhen¡¯s brain became a nk te and his body burned uncontrobly. He felt as though his soul was floating away.
¡°You¡ you¡¡± Pei Zhen could no longer stand to watch. He wanted to ask Fu Sichen to stop. He extended his ws but in retracted them again in shame. ¡°F***!¡±
¡°Stop! Stop kissing!¡±
¡°Fu Sichen!¡±
Too many things were happening at once, and Pei Zhen was in a daze with no idea what to think. Shame, anger, shock¡ªall sorts of emotions tangled up like a ball of wool. His thoughts were a mess!
Mess.
What a mess!
Unable to process any thoughts, Pei Zhen felt a rising ball of emotions. He needed an out. He needed to hit someone. Especially when he looked at Fu Sichen, he was doubly enraged.
¡°And still you won¡¯t wake up?¡± His childhood buddy¡¯s lips were soft, and they were glistening and warm from the kiss.
But even then, his eyes were shut. There was no sign of life.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡± Fu Sichen turned to look at the Persian cat, his eyes dark and deep. ¡°Pardon me.¡±
The man¡¯s voice was hoarse, and his breath was lingering, just like the look in his eyes¡ªsensual and inviting.
Pei Zhen froze and couldn¡¯t respond. He looked at Fu Sichen bending over again to kiss the corner of his lips. The hand resting on his waist found its way around the lower edge of his pajama top, and then went under!
If the kiss wasn¡¯t enough, then he could only progress a step further.
Fu Sichen boldly advanced. Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. His blood was on fire, and the heat spread throughout his body.
¡°Fu! Si! Chen!¡±
Pei Zhen could not calm himself and called out in exhaustion. He pounced in defense of his chastity. ¡°You bastard! You bastard¡¡±
Was he not Pei Zhen¡¯s sworn enemy?!
He treated his childhood buddy like the sworn enemy, but his buddy was after his body!
Pei Zhen waved his extended ws wildly and freely made angry redshes all over Fu Sichen¡¯s arms. But as if he felt no pain, Fu Sichen¡¯s fingers continued to push inwards to explore Pei Zhen¡¯s body.
¡°Damn you! You stinker!¡±
The Persian cat was utterly exhausted. He forced himself back, and his eyes started to well up in tears. Then, the tears started flowing.
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Seeing the crying cat, Fu Sichen suddenly started to panic. He couldn¡¯t continue his kiss. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡ I¡¯m sorry.¡±
He was too rash.
God knew how much he wanted to have Pei Zhen the man back¡

Fu Sichen was cold and emotionless.
When he was young he wasn¡¯t only known as the Greek God; he was also called the Cold Presence.
Although he seemed like he was polite to everyone, in reality, no one could easily find their way into his heart.
Except for Pei Zhen; he was special.
Best Actor Fu reserved all his tenderness and patience for him. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have hidden his love for Pei Zhen all those years.
The only reason he revealed his love was because he was in a panic. He was feeling confused and could no longer control himself.
Fu Sichen wished he could burn all bridges, regardless of consequences, just to let Pei Zhen know how he felt.
But the moment Pei Zhen cried Fu Sichen¡¯s heart melted¡ªno matter how determined and resolved he was initially.
¡°Please, please don¡¯t cry.¡± Feeling helpless, he held the Persian cat in his embrace hoping to give himfort. ¡°Pei Pei, it¡¯s all my fault. I¡¡±
He wanted to confess his love.
But he knew that was no excuse for his bad behavior.
He took a look at the teary-eyed cat, and then shifted his gaze to Pei Zhen¡¯s body whose clothes were in a mess. Fu Sichen buried his face in his hands. He hated himself.
What had he done?
The ex-number one manager turned Persian cat assistant, Xiao Nian, received ate-night call once again.
It wasn¡¯t Daddy Pei; it was Fu Sichen.
¡°Come over and send Pei Pei home.¡±
Fu Sichen imposed the direct order without exining, without taking no for an answer, and hung up with a click.
Xiao Nian rushed to the hospital. On entering the VIP room, he felt the oppressive air of silence. He even detected, perhaps, a tinge of awkwardness in the atmosphere.
He looked at Fu Sichen, whose focus remained on the Persian cat. Then he nced at the Persian cat whose eyes were bloodshot. Something didn¡¯t feel quite right.
¡°Take him back to the serviced apartment.¡± The Persian cat had little filming left, and there was little left of his character role in the story. Fu Sichen felt that given all that had happened that night, Pei Zhen probably wouldn¡¯t want to see him around.
¡°Take care of him.¡± Although his heart was heavy, Fu Sichen still gave detailed instructions to Xiao Nian.
Of course, it included things that Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t permitted to do.
He was not to carry the cat, no kissing, no patting, and he was not permitted to sleep near the cat. Xiao Nian was tempted to roll his eyes.
Carrying and patting aside, Xiao Nian thought that the other things Fu Sichen mentioned were things that only Fu Sichen himself would do.
¡°Yes, yes.¡± Xiao Nian was way better than Wang Youquan when it came to putting up an agreeable front. He was so convincing one would think that he would faithfully adhere to all the instructions. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Best Actor Fu, I will deliver as promised.¡±
For a moment, Fu Sichen looked at Xiao Nian indifferently with his dark, brooding eyes. In the end, he decided against saying anything. His deep gaze then fell on the Persian cat, and hovering for a little while before he strode off.
¡°Best Actor Fu, take care, stay safe.¡±
After sending Fu Sichen off with a smiling face, Xiao Nian reverted to his usual nosey self the moment Fu Sichen was out of sight. With agile steps, Xiao Nian approached the cat.
¡°Pei Pei, what happened between you and Fu Sichen?¡±
Pei Zhen gave him a long re.
¡°Don¡¯t be like that. We¡¯re buddies, aren¡¯t we! Based on my talent as Dong Hai¡¯s number one social butterfly, I could tell right away that something¡¯s definitely happened between you two.¡±
Pei Zhen was in a foul mood.
He didn¡¯t want to bother with the social butterfly.
He turned with his butt to Xiao Nian¡¯s face.
The faint light of the moon streaming in through the windows bathed Pei Zhen; his snow-white fur glistened as if waiting to take flight like a fairy.

¡°I thought he was going to fly off.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu, to be honest, I keep having the feeling that Pei Pei is practicing in secret.¡±
¡°Otherwise what sort of essence could he be absorbing? It¡¯s the same moon, and we see it every day. What moon bath?¡±
Now that there was the opportunity, Xiao Nian filled Pei Zhen in with the gossip.
Having the rights and keys to Fu Sichen¡¯s serviced apartment, he was rejoicing with so much self-pride that it was a surprise he didn¡¯t choke on it.
How could he ever go back to being Daddy Pei¡¯s little errand boy?
¡°Let him watch some TV shows or movies.¡±
Xiao Nian stopped for a moment, not quiteprehending Fu Sichen¡¯s instructions. ¡°Did you want me to put on more action dramas so that he¡¯d miss his human life?¡±
Fu Sichen seemingly had a low opinion of Xiao Nian¡¯s IQ and couldn¡¯t be bothered to exin. ¡°y more gay-themed movies.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°There¡¯s a gay-themed script at home, and it suits him very well.¡±
Fu Sichen was curt and decisive with his few words. Xiao Nian was bbergasted, but after hearing that, he automaticallybeled Fu Sichen a ¡®good guy¡¯.
Fu Sichen must be worried that Pei Pei wouldck resources when he returned to being a human. Hence he thoughtfully came up with a gay theme for Pei Pei, since it would surely be a crowd-puller!
He was a good man, a very rare good man!
It moved Xiao Nian to tears, and then he thought about it a little more¡ªafter letting the idea sink in, he felt even more in awe of Fu Sichen.
Following Fu Sichen¡¯s instructions obediently, Xiao Nian got Pei Zhen watching gay-themed shows.
¡°¡®Lan Yu¡¯ is a popr show¡ªit¡¯s oppressive and really tragic.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t take sad shows? Then let¡¯s watch a light-hearted one, ¡®Love of Siam.¡¯¡±
¡°Oh¡ but, this one is tragic too. Let¡¯s look at BL anime.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
¡°Xiao Nian, there¡¯s something seriously wrong with your brain.¡±
Someone poisoned him.
Of all the topics, it had to be gay love. Had he recently gone through some painful experience that opened up his world?
The things that Fu Sichen did to him¡ªto his body¡ªreyed in his mind endlessly like shackles that he couldn¡¯t free himself from.
Again and again, it reyed. Annoying.
The point was, every time he recalled those episodes, Pei Zhen would feel his raging hormones go wild.
But worse than the discovery of his childhood buddy¡¯s designs on him, was the fact that his childhood buddy¡¯s kisses and actions didn¡¯t irk him.
He was only shocked and ashamed, and he felt that it was unbelievable.
Sigh¡
That was the 325th time that Pei Zhen had sighed. All he wanted to do was find Fu Sichen and have a good fight with him.
¡°Don¡¯t be so resistant.¡± Even if Pei Zhen didn¡¯t type out his thoughts, Xiao Nian could tell from the cat¡¯s expression that he was exasperated. He mentored him patiently, saying, ¡°Pei Pei, as a modern youth, how could you discriminate against homosexuality?¡±
Oh, so if your artiste were gay, it wouldn¡¯t matter? Pei Zhen wanted to snap back.
Still notprehending the rtionship he had with Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to frighten Xiao Nian, the mortal man. He curled his body into a ball and shut his eyes. His bodynguage told Xiao Nian that he would rather go to bed since they didn¡¯t have anymon ground for a discussion.
Creak.
Before he could fall asleep, the serviced apartment door swung open.
Wang Youquan blushed and even looked a little shy.
¡°Wow.¡± The gossipy nature Little Fairy Girl Xiao would never change. ¡°Big brother, where have you been having fun in broad daylight?¡±
¡°Scram.¡±

¡°Scram.¡± Wang Youquan¡¯s tone was impolite as he gave Xiao Nian a dirty look. ¡°I¡¯ve just gone to collect the pastoral dog from the vet.¡±
Fu Sichen had beenpletely responsible towards the pastoral dog.
One reason was that the pastoral dog was really pitiful, and as for the other reason, Fu Sichen had an ulterior motive. Since he had confessed his feelings to Pei Zhen, naturally he had to create a good impression for himself.
Ultimately, in Fu Sichen¡¯s heart, the pastoral dog was more important than Wang Youquan.
¡°I have to go back to the office to attend to something.¡± Wang Youquanined and brought the dog home, but it needed a stroll. ¡°Can I leave you to walk the dog?¡±
Xiao Nian heroically waved his hand. ¡°No problem at all. I¡¯ll walk it like you ask me to.¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s helpfulness touched Wang Youquan. He ced the dog¡¯s leash in Xiao Nian¡¯s hands and left in gratitude.
The pastoral dog seemed to have recovered a great deal under the care he was given in the past few days. At least, it was now able to eat, drink, poo and pee normally.
The dog had a soul.
He knew that the men who rescued him were all good people. And of course, the Persian cat was also a good cat.
And because of that, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t need to proactively show goodwill before the dog swayed its tail and looked at him in a friendly way.
¡°Good boy.¡± Because Pei Zhen had turned into a cat, Xiao Nian had developed a certain understanding of animals. He also liked the pastoral dog. ¡°Come here. Big brother will take you out to y.¡±
When Xiao Nian said ¡®out to y¡¯, he was directing that remark at Pei Zhen more than the pastoral dog.
The Persian cat waszy to begin with, and he was not happy at all to be taken out by force. When Xiao Nianined of a stomachache the moment they were downstairs, the Persian cat gave a most displeased expression.
¡°I¡¡± Xiao Nian was helpless too. ¡°I really need the toilet urgently, Pei Pei, please watch over the doggy.¡±
He ced the leash before the cat as he said that, and ran off.
What the¡.
Seriously!
Even if he was human¡ªbut the reality now was that he had turned into a cat!
Getting a cat to walk the dog? Wasn¡¯t that taking things for granted?
Pei Zhen fumed. However, the moment he looked at the pastoral dog¡¯s expression, he relented, lowered his head and picked up the leash.
¡°Whose cat and dog are these? How amazing!¡±
¡°Darn, the cat is leading the dog. Is the cat walking the dog?¡±
¡°Hahaha, my god, how can this cat be so alpha.¡±
While Pei Zhen didn¡¯t think very much of the fact that he was walking the pastoral dog in the garden outside the hotel, it drew the attention of many.
After all, it was a real novelty.
Some people couldn¡¯t help but take a photo, and again, it made the rounds on the inte.
Those days, practically any sort of news could be a headline.
Not long after, sharp-eyedizens once again spotted something interesting in the photos.
¡°This cat? Persian cat? Isn¡¯t that Best Actor Fu¡¯s cat?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. That looks like Pei Pei¡ªno doubt about it.¡±
¡°Holy crap! Not only is Best Actor Fu great, but his cat is also equally great!¡±
Themotion that it caused on the inte aside, the crucial matter was that the owners of the pastoral dog, Liu Ou and Lin Xuan, saw the news too.
Especially Lin Xuan¡ªhe was a grown man yet he a cat defeated and scratched him to near-death. Eventually, he turned up at his father¡¯s birthday dinner battered and exhausted and was given a thorough dressing-down by his father.
¡°Best Actor Fu?¡± Liu Ou thought hard. ¡°Best actor Fu lives in this hotel too? He even made an appearance the other day?¡±
¡°Damn! Just because he¡¯s Best Actor doesn¡¯t mean his cat can bite as he pleases.¡± Lin Xuan was beside herself with anger. ¡°Damn it! So what if he¡¯s a big star, I¡¯ll kill him!¡±
No matter what, he was a part of the Lin family!

Fu Sichen made the headlines again.
The reason was that someone had leaked the news that he allowed his cat to run amok. To prove the authenticity of the news, the person even posted a picture of the injury.
¡°This is the evidence! His cat caused my injury. Not only that, Fu Sichen is a coward and has denied responsibility.¡±
Most people treated that sort of news like a novel, especially considering there had been a few other stories rted to the Persian cat. However, negative news had proven to eventually make a u-turn and turn out to be exceptionally positive.
Fans would be fans; as for evil fans, they had been battered into resignation a long time ago. And in the most recent case, they felt that it was one of those people intending to mislead them into being battered again.
¡°I know, it goes without saying, it¡¯s definitely the Persian cat doing its heroic act to get rid of evil.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Let¡¯s not malign Best Actor Fu. He is the best cat owner I¡¯ve ever seen.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the point of leaking this sort of news all the time. If this person likes cats, then go and get himself one. Although, I envy¡ [doge].¡±
Thements were unexpectedly calm. There was no need for Fu Sichen¡¯s PR department to do any fire fighting at all, making them seem a little redundant.
The person leading the smear campaign, Lin Xuan, was furious when he saw that sort of reaction!
¡°Despicable! This Fu Sichen has the audacity to undertake such a PR stunt!¡±
As Lin Xuan understood, the paparazzi feared peace and loved to stir things up at every chance. They would sensationalize the tiniest bit of news to create amotion.
Great.
And now they¡¯re not doing their job.
The more he thought about it, the more certain he was that Fu Sichen had been manipting things. He could no longer take it sitting down. He looked at the Weibo hot search again, and suddenly discovered something crucial when he looked at the pastoral dog in the picture.
His dog was still with Fu Sichen!
Since that was the case, he had a reason to seek him out!
If Fu Sichen failed to give him a good reason, he¡¯d expose him and tell the world that Fu Sichen stole his dog!
He could also take the opportunity to file aint about the hotel. Fu Sichen obviously had a cat!
Fu Sichen had been working hard filming a TV series.
The filming for The Prince Regent had been progressing very smoothly. Having no idea that the reason for Fu Sichen¡¯s hard work was the cat, it nearly moved the director to tears.
Following Fu Sichen¡¯s aggressive move, the two had been digging their heels in. However, Fu Sichen was still putting in a great effort to open up a new world to Pei Zhen.
But of course.
He had loved Little Brat Pei for so many years, so a moment of embarrassment wasn¡¯t going to faze him.
It was already day three of being away from Pei Zhen.
Whenever he had time, thoughts of Pei Zhen would fill Fu Sichen¡¯s head.
What was that guy doing? Did Pei Zhen miss him, like how he was missing Pei Zhen?
The love-sick Fu Sichen was quite unproductive. He hadn¡¯t been posting anything on Weibo, and he hadn¡¯t seen Pei Zhen. After three days, he hit his limit.
By the afternoon break of the filming session, Fu Sichen could no longer tolerate it. The moment Wang Youquan wasn¡¯t paying attention, he got into his mini-van and drove away.
It was a three-hour drive from the filming location to the serviced apartment, but in his eagerness, Fu Sichen took two hours.
¡°Cat. There is a cat in your hotel.¡±
¡°It¡¯s in the news. There¡¯s no use denying it.¡±
¡°Where is Fu Sichen! Come out here! I want him toe out here now!¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s mini-van was nearing the hotel, and he was about to head into the underground carpark when he heard an irritating voice.
A man in an expensive suit kicking up a big fuss was still low-ss. ¡°Apologize! Compensate! Now!¡±
Chapter 114 - Apologies, Pei Pei Is Ignorant
Chapter 114: Apologies, Pei Pei Is Ignorant
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The man in the suit was Lin Xuan.
Assuming that the man was going on about his cat again, Fu Sichen immediately walked up to them. That business, he had to mind.
Changing direction, he drove towards the hotel entrance.
The mini-van had a low chassis, and when he applied the brake it gave a stylish screech. The tires grated against the ground loudly and drew the attention of the surrounding people.
Someone had already made a vague guess that the person in the car was Fu Sichen, and the moment he got out of the car, there were excited shrieks.
¡°Ahhhhh¡ Best Actor Fu!¡±
Fu Sichen had been making appearances at the hotel, and a group of fangirls had stationed themselves there waiting. Unexpectedly, he had really turned up.
Fu Sichen stepped out of the car and mmed the car door shut with a backwards swing of his arm. He leaned casually against his car and looked in Lin Xuan¡¯s direction with amusement.
¡°What did you want me to do? Apologize? Compensate, did you say?¡±
Fu Sichen gave a coldugh upon saying that. Everyone present felt the atmosphere grow cold and looked at Fu Sichen withplete respect.
Lin Xuan himself was stunned.
He even retreated a step.
But the fear was momentary, as his male ego boosted his confidence again quickly. ¡°That¡¯s right! Apologize! Fu Sichen, it was your cat that scratched me, and I had to go for treatment!¡±
¡°Oh,¡± responded Fu Sichen impassively.
¡°And you stole my dog!¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s calmness made Lin Xuan all the angrier, and he was almost jumping in fury. ¡°That is my dog!¡±
¡°Oh, so it¡¯s you who abused the dog,¡± said Fu Sichen.
¡°You!¡± Lin Xuan waspletely embarrassed by this exposure and fumbled trying to defend himself. ¡°I did not abuse my dog! Stop talking nonsense¡ you¡ don¡¯t you change the topic!¡±
¡°You should know best whether you abused your dog.¡± Slipping one hand into his pocket, Fu Sichen lifted his chin and said with an air of righteousness, ¡°If you want to lie about this, I can always release pictures of how the pastoral dog looked initially. That may jog your memory.¡±
He cornered Lin Xuan.
In the picture of the ¡°Cat Leading Dog¡±, the pastoral dog was a little thin but was way better than before.
Even if he had wanted to steal a dog, why would he steal a sick dog of all dogs? Not to mention it was Best Actor Fu.
Best Actor Fucked nothing, least of all money!
Suddenly, Lin Xuan was nervous, and said without thinking, ¡°What memory? I don¡¯t need to recall anything! That is my dog, and I can treat him in whatever ways I want! The point is, your cat really scratched me!¡±
¡°Apologies, Pei Pei is ignorant.¡± Fu Sichen smiled emotionlessly. He looked at the scratches on Lin Xuan¡¯s arms and face, and admitted without trying to talk in circles. ¡°How much are the medical fees, I willpensate you fully.¡±
Lin Xuan froze for a while, and then said arrogantly, ¡°I not only wantpensation for my medical treatment, you have to make a public apology on Weibo.¡±
¡°So wouldn¡¯t you also need to apologize to ¡®heavenly dog¡¯.¡± A barely audible voice came from behind. It was Xiao Nian. ¡°That¡¯s right; you will have topensate medical fees and alsopensate the dog for psychological trauma.¡±
Xiao Nian was back from walking the dog and was disgusted to see that the dog owner had the audacity to turn up to make such demands.
The pastoral dog was still looking gaunt.
If it were the Husky, Pei Zhen would have jumped onto him for a ride. Instead, he was riding on Xian Nian¡¯s shoulder and stared coldly at Lin Xuan.
The plight he suffered a few days ago immediately reyed in Lin Xuan¡¯s mind when he saw the Persian cat.
Chapter 115 - The Stinker Obviously Had Ulterior Motives!

Of all things, he was afraid of a Persian cat.
If the news got out, he¡¯d be aughing stock.
But the fact was Lin Xuan was afraid.
The fear and pain werepletely unforgettable!
For that reason, when Pei Zhen looked at Lin Xuan, he staggered and almost fell. ¡°This cat¡ it¡ it¡¡±
Lin Xuan wanted to tell them to take the cat away, but Fu Sichen¡¯s mind suddenly seemed to be elsewhere; as if Dementors had stolen his soul, he waspletely ignoring Lin Xuan.
His full attention was on the Persian cat.
Just before, he was cold and emotionless; but Fu Sichen became full of tenderness as deep as the abyss, eternal like the gxy; it was easy to fall captive with just one look.
Pei Zhen started to flush from Fu Sichen¡¯s long stare. He couldn¡¯t tolerate it and moved awkwardly to avoid the gaze.
What was he staring at, he¡¯d never seen a handsome cat?!
Ever since Fu Sichen confessed his feelings, he¡¯d been a bit ted and smug. Previously, he had been more subtle, but he could be bold and upfront with things out in the open.
Shameless!
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes fiercely, and at the same time, he wanted to p himself.
He must have been mad to think that Fu Sichen¡¯sputer password, his screensaver, keeping his old school notes and such, was Fu Sichen being narcissistic!
The Stinker obviously had ulterior motives!
¡°The pastoral dog belongs to me, and I have to take him with me.¡± That hateful voice broke the awkward silence between Best Actor Fu and the Persian cat. Lin Xuan turned jittery in the knees when he looked at the cat, so he put up amanding front. As if to show his amiability, he tried to coax the dog toe back to him. ¡°Huan Huan, let¡¯s go. Your Mummy misses you.¡±
The moment he called ¡®Huan Huan¡¯, the pastoral dog¡¯s legs gave way, and he was sprawled on the floor, whimpering away.
¡°I¡¯m not going back. I don¡¯t want to go back there. Please don¡¯t hit me. I will behave myself.¡±
Even if people didn¡¯t understand dognguage, they would have figured out the message just by looking at the pastoral dog¡¯s behavior.
One could imagine how much this loyal pastoral dog must have suffered to be so fearful.
¡°How much?¡± Fu Sichen, who couldn¡¯t look away from the Persian cat, finally spoke after the cat gave him a fierce stare back. ¡°How much will you sell the dog to me for?¡±
¡°You¡ Do you really want to buy my dog? I-I knew you stole him. You¡¡± Lin Xuan was taken by surprise at Fu Sichen¡¯s suggestion.
¡°You can think whatever you wish.¡± Fu Sichen was not in the mood to indulge in a conversation with Lin Xuan. ¡°As long as we can save the dog, just name the price.¡±
Lin Xuan opened his mouth, but at that moment no words came out.
When he tried to speak again, the stares from the people who had gathered around put him on the spot. He dithered and couldn¡¯t bring himself to quote a price; neither did he want to leave with nothing.
¡°Best Actor Fu, sell the dog to me.¡±
¡°Sell it to me. I¡¯m not fussy, and the pastoral dog is very cute.¡±
¡°I promise I will take good and loving care of him, it¡¯s true. I¡¯ve always wanted a pet dog.¡±
Words of kindness rang out, and every word was like a p on Lin Xuan¡¯s face.
He recalled the scene when they first adopted the pastoral dog.
It was tiny, squishy and cute. It was a good-looking puppy with a soft bark and watery eyes.
At first, he quite liked the pastoral dog and was curious about it. However, when heter found out that the dog wasn¡¯t of pedigree, he grew to loathe it.
But dogs would be dogs, and the pastoral dog was very lovable.
Lin Xuan was ashamed and felt his face burning, and ceased trying to be difficult. So when no one was paying attention, he retreated and made a quick getaway.
Woof!
The pastoral dog suddenly dashed towards Lin Xuan like a streak of lightning!

¡°There had been an ident in the city center recently. Fortunately, no one was hurt. It was a pastoral dog that saved his owner¡¯s life¡¡±
In the picture, the thin pastoral dog was lying in a pool of blood helplessly. It whimpered and then weakly shut its eyes for thest time. The pastoral dog¡¯s owner was shocked speechless, and then started crying.
No one could have predicted the ending.
Even if the dog¡¯s owner finally understood the fact that there were no ss differences among dogs, so what? The dog had lost its life and was gone forever.
How regretful.
¡°Let¡¯s stop watching this.¡± Fu Sichen took over the remote control and turned off the television, sighing as he looked at the unhappy Persian cat. ¡°At least during the few days that he was safe with us, he was happy.¡±
In the pastoral dog¡¯s short life, he¡¯d been through many ups and downs. Everything about him was good except his luck.
The news was two days old, yet Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but kept going back to it. Knowing that watching it would make him sad didn¡¯t stop him; it was as though he was out to torture himself.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± When Pei Zhen was unhappy, it would worry Fu Sichen. Thetter turned around and knelt in front of the Persian cat,forting him. ¡°What you did wasn¡¯t in vain.¡±
Besides being sad about the pastoral dog¡¯s fate, Fu Sichen was certain that Pei Zhen was also ming himself for being incapable.
It was as though no matter how much effort he put in, it wouldn¡¯t make a difference. There were still scores of people in the world who don¡¯t care for little animals.
Fu Sichen understood what Pei Zhen was upset over.
¡°At least Lin Xuan admitted his mistake; at least it made an impact on some people,¡± Fu Sichen looked straight into the Persian cat¡¯s eyes and said sincerely, ¡°Pei Pei, you have done all you could.¡±
Pei Zhen looked at Fu Sichen. He opened his mouth but didn¡¯t know what to say.
¡°Thinking that everyone in the world would be kind towards living creatures is only being idealistic. We can only hope that more and more people will learn to value life and treat animals kindly.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s voice was naturally hoarse; but when he was gentle, it took on a mesmerizing quality and amazingly, it calmed the cat¡¯s anxiety andforted his sadness.
The Persian cat¡¯s eyes lit up a little and acknowledged and responded with a slight meow, signaling that he understood.
¡°You care so much about other animals?¡± As the cat¡¯s mood gradually lightened up, Fu Sichen was being himself again, and couldn¡¯t refrain from teasing the cat. ¡°What about caring for this higher being before you?¡±
Pei Zhen looked at him in disgust.
Fu Sichen had not been able to focus on filming those few days; in-between, he¡¯d run home. Although Pei Zhen mostly ignored him, he was very patient with the cat and gave him gentle counsel.
Even if the consoled Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to admit it, he could feel Fu Sichen¡¯s goodness. Only, he¡¯d get agitated the minute that Fu Sichen showed off.
Higher being? Care?
Care my foot!
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t care less about hurting Fu Sichen. Whatever the case, he could only put on a smirk when he was facing his sworn enemy, whom he believed had many ill intentions.
Ignoring Fu Sichen¡¯s hopeful gaze, Pei Zhen snatched the television remote control and turned on the TV. He started to watch television programs.
They were ying a series starring Pei Zhen himself.
The youth in the drama was high-spirited and quite good-looking.
Before Pei Zhen could even bring out the narcissistic side of himself, the television channel changed.
First Love.
It was known to be an entry level BL anime. The soundtrack was great, and the plot was ambiguous. It was said that one wasn¡¯t a real Fujoshi until one had watched it.
Speechless.
Pei Zhen wanted to puke!

Chapter 117: It Signifies That Our Love Is More Solid Than Gold
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Pei Zhen was pitifully overdosed with ¡®gay love¡¯ in those few days.
Pei Zhen thought that Dong Hai Fairy Xiao Nian Nian was staging a mutiny in cahoots with Fu Sichen, to harm him¡ªif it weren¡¯t gay movies, it would be gay anime. On top of that, he insisted on reading Pei Zhen bedtime stories about the epic love among men.
Pei Zhen feltpletely wretched.
All the pent-up frustrations that couldn¡¯t be let out. When he was watching the two men on the TV, Pei Zhen was so furious that he wanted to gnaw Fu Sichen to death.
¡°Just watch as you please.¡± Despite Pei Zhen¡¯s fury inside, Fu Sichen still held the same cold expression. ¡°Feel free to ask if you don¡¯t understand anything.¡±
Pei Zhen was livid.
¡°One more thing.¡± Fu Sichen took out a delicate little box and opened it. There was a piece of exquisite jade in the box, and Fu Sichen had already threaded a loop of red cord through the stone. ¡°This is for you.¡±
He hung the jade pendant around Pei Zhen¡¯s neck.
The stone was translucent and green and looked specially designed for Pei Zhen. It was dainty.
As Fu Sichen lifted his hand to hang the pendant around the cat¡¯s neck, a matching jade pendant around his own wrist revealed itself. The red cord around his wrist made his pale skin seem even paler.
Forbidden sensuality.
Suddenly Pei Zhen struggled, his face flushed. He put up a resistance. ¡°Scum! I don¡¯t want it!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t want it?¡± It was amazing how Fu Sichen could read Pei Zhen just by looking at the cat¡¯s expression. ¡°It has been blessed, I especially asked for it so that you can be a human again.¡±
Of course, the fact was that this jade pendant came from Pei Zhen¡¯s mother.
In his pursuit of his childhood buddy, Fu Sichen was honestly quite shameless. He had asked someone to carve a piece of jade simr to the original one from Pei Zhen¡¯s mother for himself.
Pei Zhen eyed the piece of jade around Fu Sichen¡¯s wrist, and then lowered his head to look at his own. He had his reservations¡ªhe didn¡¯t think that the temple would bless such things in pairs.
But ¡°bing human again¡± was too attractive a notion.
Beliefs aside, after bing a cat, there was no point being scientific about it.
Fu Sichen was satisfied, and his lips curled upwards into a smile. When Pei Zhen saw it, his skin crawled, and he felt goosebumps forming. Staring at Fu Sichen¡¯s wrist, he wanted to gnaw through the red cord.
Great. Blessed, was it? Gnaw through Fu Sichen¡¯s bracelet, and there would be no more ¡®pair¡¯!
¡°Oh?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were sharp, and the moment Pei Zhen opened his mouth, he retracted his hand quickly. ¡°This is our couple bracelet; you¡¯re not supposed to bite it.¡±
Couple bracelet my ass! Pei Zhen thought angrily.
Now that Fu Sichen had said that, Pei Zhen no longer wanted to wear it, blessed or not.
Of all the hooligans he had seen, Fu Sichen was the worst of the lot.
Completely shameless.
So eager to bend him.
For some unknown reason, Pei Zhen felt that his chastity was at stake.
Pei Zhen wanted to remove his jade pendant while he still had the rationality to reject it. Though his heart was fluttering, he was still in sound mind to stop the nonsense.
But.
Was it because his paws were not nimble enough? No matter how he tried, he could not remove that pendant around his neck.
Great!
A cursed object!
He took a look at the jade pendant and then another look at Fu Sichen. He was both furiously ashamed and horrified. ¡°You go to this extent just to have me?¡± Pei Zhen stared at the despicable man before him in disbelief.
Fu Sichen was weird too. Instead of trying to exin that he didn¡¯t have any ck magic performed on the pendant, he eventually chose to provoke Pei Zhen by saying, ¡°This is fated; it signifies that our love is more solid than gold.¡±
Pei Zhen was speechless.
He wanted to give Fu Sichen a freaking scratch to show him that his fury was more solid than gold!
¡°The earnings from filming. Yours.¡±
Chapter 118 - Fu Sichen Is Miles Ahead of Them!
Chapter 118: Fu Sichen Is Miles Ahead of Them!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fu Sichen had never intended to keep the Persian cat¡¯s share of earnings from the filming.
Even if the shooting for the magazine, together with the TV drama and variety show did nothing to rocket the Persian cat to fame, it did give publicity to Fu Sichen. That brought in quite a lot of money.
Before knowing that a human soul was dwelling in the cat, Fu Sichen intended to buy cat food with the earnings. However, after the truth came to light, he felt that the money should be put aside for Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen ced the check in front of Pei Zhen with his long slender fingers, which pleased the eyes as much as the figure on the check.
Pei Zhen felt generous enough to nce at the check. After pausing for some time, he made an awkward sound, took a pen in his ws and wrote the words ¡®Animal Shelter¡¯.
That meant that he would like the money to be donated.
Fu Sichen¡¯s lips gradually curled upwards into a smile, and he almost broke into augh.
His Pei Zhen was still that kind-hearted man. Even after turning into a cat, he always did whatever he could to protect animals.
¡°Great.¡± Fu Sichen folded and put the check away with a light grinding of his fingers. ¡°I¡¯ll donate it right away.¡±
Pei Zhen casually nced at Fu Sichen, plonked himself down and burying his head between his paws. He wasn¡¯t in the mood to engage.
The dashing-looking man took a few steps and suddenly stopped. ¡°Pei Pei.¡±
Pei Zhen looked up reflexively.
The man bent over, his handsome face immediately erged before Pei Pei¡¯s eyes. Then, he nted a kiss on the cat¡¯s lips.
¡°Donated?!¡±
After the newly-promoted Pet Assitant Xiao Nian found out about the donation of the Persian cat¡¯s earnings to the Animal Shelter, his heart ached. ¡°So much money, all gone?¡±
He had an issue? Pei Zhen nced at him coldly.
¡°Not at all, not at all.¡± The money was Pei Zhen¡¯s, to begin with. Xiao Nian knew he had no right to criticize. ¡°I¡¯m already endlessly grateful that you haven¡¯t forced me to donate my money.¡±
Pei Zhen red at Xiao Nian and decided to ignore it as just one of his quirks.
He dedicated himself to protecting animals, but when it came to donations, he was not one to impose his own thinking on others.
Not harming animals was just a basic duty and donating was an act of kindness, just like Fu Sichen said¡ªa little at a time, a step at a time. Eventually, more people would value life and love animals.
¡°Daddy.¡± No matter what, Xiao Nian was a responsible Pet Assistant. ¡°The Animal Shelter sent a thank you note, and asked if they can spread the word about what we have done.¡±
Xiao Nian was quiet for a while, then spoke his mind. ¡°Daddy, I don¡¯t think we should publicize this matter.¡±
The Persian cat belonged to Fu Sichen.
Anything that had anything to do with ¡®celebrity¡¯, ¡®actor¡¯ and such titles, or anything to do with meaningful acts would inevitably draw negativements from the evil fans.
¡°Making news! Disgusting!¡±
¡°It¡¯s just an act, such a pretense.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just a few dors; why can¡¯t they donate without having to tell the whole world.¡±
After so many years of experience being a manager, he was well-versed in the rules of the entertainment circle. Although it was unfair to Pei Zhen, he also knew that Pei Zhen was not one who would care for such superficial matters.
[Publicize it, why not publicize it?] Pei Zhen made a noise as he clicked away on the keyboard. [I was still hoping to spread my influence so that more people would pay respect to your Daddy¡¯s heroism.] So that more people would value animals!
¡°But Daddy, wouldn¡¯t this have implications on Best Actor Fu.¡± Xiao Nian reminded Pei Zhen.
[What implications? Fu Sichen is miles ahead of them!] Compared to those who only talked and did nothing, Fu Sichen was indeed way better.
That was the first time Pei Zhen sang any praises of Fu Sichen. Xiao Nian was stunned and had an ambiguous expression on his face. ¡°Okay¡¡±
Chapter 119 - All These Years I’ve Loved Only One Person
Chapter 119: All These Years I¡¯ve Loved Only One Person
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Pei Zhen was an overbearing and arrogant boss.
Even when he was a human, he had never given the media or keyboard warriors any face.
Pei Zhen had internal standards, and all would be well if things were not against his principles. However, if someone crossed certain lines, then it had always been known that, at best, he¡¯d have a total disregard and dislike for the person in a very upfront manner.
Daddy Pei¡ªthat was Daddy Pei in essence.
Even if someone disliked Pei Zhen, the fortunate fact was that in the modern world, most people were still decent.
Those rich housewife fans who shared simr views with Pei Zhen were great defensive warriors, and they were a formidable lot.
For that reason, even after Pei Zhen had turned into a cat, he continued to be just as arrogant. However, he had concerns totally different from what Xiao Nian was worrying over. He was troubled that Fu Sichen could actually tug at his heartstrings.
As for Fu Sichen¡
Of course, he was extremely virtuous.
Those brainless evil fans and writers could not hold a candle against him.
Pei Zhen thought of that in a rather straightforward and matter-of-factly way. Only, when Xiao Nian had that ambiguous expression, it brought back the memory of the kiss, and everything felt wrong again.
His face started to flush, and his heart rate rose. It felt like a fire had ignited in him, and it began to burn fiercely.
It was crazy.
His heart was like a battlefield. It was a good thing he was a cat, and Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t able to detect anything amiss. Pei Zhen calmed down quickly and put on a sarcastic expression which proved to be a perfect cover-up.
¡°Fine, fine. I will reply to the Animal Shelter now and ensure there¡¯s publicity. This is your debut.¡± Xiao Nian sniggered.
Pei Zhen had no interest in being a debutante and was more concerned with how to be a human being again.
While Xiao Nian was on the phone, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but sneak a closer look at the jade pendant.
It was a good quality stone¡ªan extremely translucent green. Hung around his neck, Pei Zhen could feel the coolness of the pendant even through his coat of fur.
He wasn¡¯t an expert at jadeite but had a feeling that the piece of jade was very valuable.
The stinker.
Did Fu Sichen think that he could buy his way into Pei Zhen¡¯s heart with a piece of antique jewelry? How na?ve!
After a round ofining to himself about Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen eventually retracted his ws andzily sprawled himself out, squinting as he thought of reasons for himself to ept Fu Sichen¡¯s gift.
The carved jade pendant certainly looked like a gift¡ªan essory. If he didn¡¯t ept it, how would the pendant ever face its fellow jade pieces ever again?
Pei Zhen¡¯s mind wandered everywhere. Except to the memory of the kiss.
What was it like?
It was quite sweet¡
Fu Sichen had been busy.
Unending assignments and ceaseless filming, but he would make quick trips back home whenever he had a sliver of time.
He¡¯d go home to cook for the Persian cat; he thought it would help build their rtionship.
But Pei Zhen was nonchnt¡ªor at least, he seemed to be. In reality, day-by-day, he found himself increasingly sneaking looks in Fu Sichen¡¯s direction.
Fu Sichen was extremely kind and generous towards him. It didn¡¯t feel like he was hiding any secrets from Pei Zhen.
¡°All these years I¡¯ve loved only one person.¡± When Fu Sichenughed, there was a bright twinkle in his eyes that anyone would fall for. ¡°Only one person.¡±
It was the person recorded on hisputer.
It was the person in the old school notes.
It was Pei Zhen and only Pei Zhen.
The expression in Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes was sincere and made Pei Zhen¡¯s heart race. Pei Zhen quickly looked away to calm himself down, diverting his gaze back to theputer.
He was trying to satisfy his own curiosity.
The entertainment circle was always generating news¡ªeither someone was involved in a scandal with someone, or someone broke up with someone. Pei Zhen scanned through the news and took none of it to heart.
Of course, there were some things that he cared for.
He came across a pop-up piece which analyzed Fu Sichen¡¯s and Lin Yousu¡¯s fake rtionship.
It all sounded logical and legit.
Pei Zhen posted a ¡®Like¡¯.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Have you watched War of the Pets? The Best Actor totally ignored the up-anding leadingdy.¡±
¡°Downright embarrassing. I could feel the look in his eyes, capital COLD.¡±
¡°So what if she was indeed the ex-owner of the Persian cat? It¡¯s still a buyer-seller rtionship.¡±
The analysis was spot-on, and every sentence hit the nail right on the head. Suddenly, Pei Zhen found himselfpletely engrossed in the article, and he couldn¡¯t agree more with the analysis.
Indeed!
Lin Yousu was indeed a person that would take advantage of the situation to gain poprity.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t like her at all; he only had his eyes set on grand old me!
Thinking those thoughts, Pei Zhen felt a little proud of himself. He hadpletely not thought about whose ount he logged into, and happily posted a whole lot of ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯.
Whoever agreed that the rtionship was fake, he¡¯d post a ¡®Like¡¯.
Then, not long after, Fu Sichen received a phone call.
A fond greeting from manager Wang Youquan. ¡°Fu Sichen! Y-you! What do you think you¡¯re doing. I¡¯ve not even asked you for a raise; I only want some peace and serenity for the rest of my life!¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Fu Sichen asked.
He was reading the gay-themed script that he had so carefully selected among all the other offerings. Fu Sichen was pouring his whole heart into the particr script.
¡°Are you so bored that you went onto Weibo to post ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯ onments?¡± No matter how even-tempered Wang Youquan normally was, he was really annoyed. ¡°As if liking thements isn¡¯t bad enough, you have to pick contentious posts to ¡®Like¡¯?!¡±
Fu Sichen sat himself down on the bed.
The light cast a soft glow on his body. He looked up at the white ball of fur next to his desk. Pei Zhen was wearing a pair of specially-constructed headphones and ying on theputer like there was no one else in the world.
He was just being himself, no longer having a care about being a cat.
Not wanting to interrupt Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen logged onto Weibo with his mobile phone. What popped up was a ¡®Breaking News¡¯ headline.
¡°Best Actor Fu posted ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯!¡±
The ¡®liked¡¯ments went beyond those rted to Lin Yousu.
They included all posts that denied romances linked with Fu Sichen, all the way back to when Fu Sichen first stepped into the entertainment circle. All ¡®veto¡¯ posts had been ¡®liked¡¯ by ¡®FuShaosiXHPZ¡¯ which was a Weibo VIP ount.
The person who posted the ¡®liked¡¯ment waspletely ttered.
However, it was a p to the face for that particr person who had tried to take advantage of the situation to gain poprity.
All that happened at the golden hour of 8 pm, and it drove theizens as well as the entertainment circle into a frenzy.
¡°Fu Sichen, are you feeling invincible because you¡¯re the Best Actor?¡± Wang Youquan was all at once signaling for the PR officer and having a heart attack. ¡°So you feel you can just do whatever you fancy?¡±
Fu Sichen looked at Weibo hot search and then the Persian cat. Holding his mobile from a distance, he could still hear Wang Youquan¡¯s angry voiceining. He couldn¡¯t control himself andughed.
¡°You¡¯reughing? You find this funny?¡± Wang Youquan felt like he needed emergency rescue pills for his failing heart. ¡°Sichen. Greek god. My dream is only to live the rest of my life in peace. I am just a weakling, and am not capable of putting up such fights.¡±
¡°What are you crying about?¡± Fu Sichen was in a good mood indeed and was even gentle in tone. ¡°In the first ce, those people started the scandals. What¡¯s wrong with liking the honest and truthfulments?¡±
¡°Sichen¡¡± Although Fu Sichen was not wrong in saying that, liking thosements would have offended half the people in the entertainment circle!
¡°Just let it go and don¡¯t bother with this matter.¡± Fu Sichen closed his eyes and said with much tenderness, ¡°When Pei Zhen wakes up, and I¡¯vepleted my work for the final film, I¡¯m quitting entertainment.¡±
Wang Youquan was shocked. ¡°Si¡ Sichen¡ you¡ you¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m serious,¡± Fu Sichen said softly, ¡°Actually, I¡¯d like to see him get the Best Actor award.¡±

Him¡
Who was the ¡®him¡¯ referring to? It went without saying.
A strange notion entered Wang Youquan¡¯s mind. The notion made a brief appearance, and then was decisively dismissed.
No matter what, Fu Sichen was a logical person, and he certainly wouldn¡¯t shoot himself in the foot.
¡°Ok fine, don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Wang Youquan believed that he sounded too harsh and quicklyforted Fu Sichen. ¡°The situation is salvageable. We just need topromise Pei Pei a little.¡±
Wang Youquan and the PR Department had discussed and agreed that the best solution was to me the Persian cat for posting those ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯. Although, it was, in fact, the case.
¡°You focus on preparing for tomorrow¡¯s filming. Don¡¯t think about anything else; don¡¯t feel pressured.¡±
Even if Wang Youquan was a bit of a good-for-nothing normally, the star manager did have some real skills and knew when to be authentic and when to put on an act.
Not giving Fu Sichen another chance to speak, Wang Youquan updated him on a few things and hung up the phone right after. The line went dead, and Fu Sichen sighed and said nothing more.
Pei Zhen subsequently realized that he had used the wrong Weibo ount to post the ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯.
After the flurry of activity on Weibo, he logged into online games.
Xiao Nian had been getting to know a girl through an online gaming site. They had been addressing each other as ¡®sister¡¯ and ¡®brother¡¯.
It was way too cozy.
[You Stole the Left Side Of My Heart]: Daddy, help your son. I have to y the big beast today and give him to your daughter-inw as a gift.
Pei Zhen was already rolling his eyes. His facial expression was cold, and he looked cruel.
[Still Daddy Pei]: Daughter-inw my ass, I don¡¯t have such a moron for a son. Plus, what sort of stupid name is that?
[You Stole the Left Side Of My Heart]: I couldn¡¯t care less. Once you¡¯re a father, you¡¯ll be a father forever. Daddy, help me quick. My wife promised that if I manage to y the beast today, we¡¯ll do Yu Yin and Memeda tomorrow. PS: The name of the game is the name of our couple avatar, totally unique.
Seeing the word Yu Yin, Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes almost rolled out of their sockets.
Without even knowing for sure if the other party was male or female, Xiao Nian seemed to already be head over heels in love.
If it weren¡¯t for being forced into a life of leisure, Pei Zhen would have totally ignored Xiao Nian like he used to.
With Xiao Nian¡¯s induction, his darling ¡®wife¡¯ eventually joined the chat group.
The youngdy was considerably shy, but she greeted everyone on entering the chat group. Only, the names that Xiao Nian created for themselves were so bad that they gave Pei Zhen a headache.
[You upy The Right Side of My Heart]: Hubby, Hubby, muacks.
[You upy The Right Side of My Heart]: Hubby, Hubby, you¡¯re the best.
[You upy The Right Side of My Heart]: Hubby, Hubby¡
Pei Zhen almost smashed the keyboard!
With a ¡®See no evil¡¯ mindset, Pei Zhen was quick as lightning with his paws. Maneuvering the keyboard with fluid ease, he chopped up the beast till there was nothing left but a pool of blood. He then quickly retreated to the side, even giving up an opportunity to show off.
[You Stole the Left Side Of My Heart]¡¯s character stood there, not moving.
Then, the bloodthirsty boss attacked [You Stole the Left Side Of My Heart]¡¯s character.
[You Stole the Left Side Of My Heart]¡¯s character suddenly lost a third of its life force.
[You upy The Right Side of My Heart] was wailing pitifully, continuously typing a string of crying emoticon like she was mourning her dead idol.
It was way stupid.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t take it for much longer. He walked up, raised his sword and with a downward stroke ended the beast¡¯s life. Before he could move his paw to type out a message to Xiao Nian asking if he had gone nuts, Xiao Nian¡¯s message came in.
¡°Am I seeing things or is Fu Sichen mad?!¡±
There was an attached picture, clearly showing the Weibo hot search heading.

It was only then, when Xiao Nian highlighted it, that Pei Zhen realized he had used Fu Sichen¡¯s VIP ount to post the ¡®Likes¡¯.
It had already been explosive news on Weibo, and it was news that rocked half the entertainment circle.
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart dropped, and he turned to look at Fu Sichen.
As he did so, their eyes met. Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were deep and dark; they were like mas drawing him in.
It was as though Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes had always been on Pei Zhen, and furthermore, even when Pei Zhen had realized it, there was not a sign of embarrassment on Fu Sichen¡¯s end. Thetter didn¡¯t look away and maintained his gaze on Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen felt his face burning.
With much difficulty, Pei Zhen diverted his gaze. But when he did, he regretted the show of weakness and angrily looked at Fu Sichen again.
Oh, and with such boldness.
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Using my VIP ount to post likes? Or are you doing that with my life?¡±
¡°Tsk, tsk. Now I¡¯ve offended half the entertainment circle.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the end of the game. I have to bow out of the entertainment circle now.¡±
It sounded more and more serious. Pei Zhen was stunned and lost his meow.
¡°If I can¡¯t make any more movies, I won¡¯t have any money. Pei Zhen¡¡± Fu Sichen looked at him sadly. ¡°You have to be responsible towards me.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes grew wider, and he was shocked by those words. Shifting his body, he almost fell off the chair.
But what could he do?
It was all his fault.
He could hate the heavens, hate the earth, and hate the audience, but it didn¡¯t mean that Fu Sichen could do the same. Furthermore, even if he left the entertainment industry, he could live a great life, but that was him.
Fu Sichen the genius, the Greek god¡ such a pampered person wouldn¡¯t be able to take a hard life.
Pei Zhen, who had spontaneously put Fu Sichen on a little pedestal, had fallen straight into Fu Sichen¡¯s trap as he suddenly felt guilty.
He had to take responsibility.
Pei Zhen frowned and thought for a while. Then he looked up and started tapping away on the mobile phone: [Have no fear, I¡¯ve got your back. I certainly will not allow a situation where you have no more movies to make.]
¡°OK.¡± Fu Sichen gave an ambiguous smile. ¡°A cat such as you would be able to help me secure resources as Best Actor?
That¡
Pei Zhen choked on his own words for a bit. He lowered his gazed and took a look at himself¡ªa rounded ball of fur. His inclination was to curse and swear.
[Even if I¡¯m not able to guarantee you resources right now, I promise, when I be a human again, I won¡¯t let you be disadvantaged.]
Fu Sichen was stillughing, his eyebrows like half-moons. ¡°It¡¯s a deal. Even if we have to wait for a long time, I feel safer and more secure now.¡±
Pei Zhen kept quiet.
Not only did he not feel better, but it also added to the wound.
That¡¯s right.
He didn¡¯t even know when he could be a human again.
All at once, the ever-confident and arrogant Little Brat Pei felt crushed, and for the first time, he med himself.
Why did you post the likes? Your paws had nothing better to do? Why did you care so much about this stinker Fu Sichen!
His heart poured tears of regret. To reduce his own feelings of guilt, Pei Zhen thought hard toe up with a way to prove Fu Sichen¡¯s innocence.
[Just put the me on me. Say that it was the Persian Cat who posted the ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯!] That was the truth anyway.
Fu Sichen scratched his chin, and his expression remainedzy. ¡°Only liking the posts that deny the scandals? Best Actor Fu¡¯s Persian cat is an academic?¡±
Pei Zhen was stumped. Whatever he said, Fu Sichen could find a loophole. Eventually, Fu Sichen grew impatient. ¡°Pei Zhen, after saying so much, are you trying to shy away from responsibility?¡±
¡°I. Will. Be. Responsible.¡±

It was really an exercise in tolerance.
After he had typed the words ¡®I will be responsible¡¯, Fu Sichen still didn¡¯t trust him and insisted on taking a screenshot. And as if looking at it once wasn¡¯t enough, Fu Sichen looked at the screenshot repeatedly. Observing his behavior, Pei Zhen was sure that if it weren¡¯t for the fact that wall notices were things of an ancient past, he would have turned the screenshot into one of those.
Pei Zhen was emotionally drained.
News continued to pop up. ¡°What happened to Daddy?¡±¡±Is there any news on Daddy?¡±¡±Any gossips on Daddy?¡± filled up Xiao Nian¡¯sputer screen.
Pei Zhen was terribly annoyed. ¡°Ask again, and that¡¯s it.¡±
Neither did he feel like ying online games. Devastated, he closed the Appleptop and leaped off the chair to head out.
¡°Wait a minute.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s drawl came from behind. ¡°Where are you going?¡±
Pei Zhen turned around and looked at him gloomily.
Of course, he was going out!
A man and a cat alone in a room in the middle of the night was too gay!
Things were better in the past when he had not known what intentions Fu Sichen harbored.
But now.
The telephone pole would really bend and snap if he didn¡¯t try to avoid Fu Sichen.
¡°What about the responsibility you¡¯d take?¡± Fu Sichen waved his mobile phone at Pei Zhen. ¡®I will be responsible¡¯ had been made the mobile security password. ¡°Pei Zhen, I¡¯m in a bad mood.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
¡°Hence being the guilty party, you have to atone for your deed. It¡¯s a long night, and I need a cat forpany.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know what to think.
His heart raced. In the end, wearing the pet suit that Fu Sichen sewed, the Persian cat fell asleep on the bed.
After a bath, the dashingly handsome Fu Sichen too plonked himself onto the bed.
The only light on was the littlemp at the head of the bed. It cast a warm orange glow.
¡°Sleeping?¡± Fu Sichen extended his arm to reach for a book; his beautiful eyes twinkling withughter. ¡°Come, shut your eyes and let me read you a story.¡±
Sullen silence.
It was exasperating!
Most people would want to hear a story before going to bed, but he was eager to tell a story.
It was already ufortable for Pei Zhen to be sharing a bed with Fu Sichen. He had spent a long time preparing himself psychologically for it, and had nned to shut his eyes and sleep till daylight!
He wasn¡¯t a child! What freaking bedtime story?!
¡°This story took ce in a high school campus in City Z.¡± Ignoring Pei Zhen¡¯s preference, Fi Sichen spoke. His voice was deep and sultry. ¡°The well-liked Most Popr Boy in school had fallen for the equally well-liked Most Popr Boy in ss. Thetter was like a ray of sunlight, and very adorable¡¡±
Great.
It was that gay-themed script.
Pei Zhen was tempted to burst outughing.
Even if he ultimately took a part in the script, he¡¯d get the role of some bottom-party Most Popr Boy in ss! Fu Sichen was in histe twenties. Wasn¡¯t he embarrassed at having to y the role of a high school student?!
Pei Zhen no longer had the energy to be sarcastic.
But amazingly, even if he was unwilling to listen, Fu Sichen¡¯s voice drew him in like a ma, his every word making its way into his heart.
Such ambiguity.
He didn¡¯t know when he had fallen asleep and started dreaming.
In his dream, they were in high school.
In his first term of high school, there was a sports meet that took ce in October. The first item on the final day was the men¡¯s 3000-meter run.
The long track gave off a strange smell under the burning sun, but it did nothing to drown out the students¡¯ excitement.
The shouts of encouragement and the cheering were all for Fu Sichen!
Mr. Fu the genius would always be in the limelight no matter what he did.
In his dream, Pei Zhen stood at the finish line, the glowing Great Genius Fu nonchntly sprinting past like he was charging towards his true love.

¡°Fu Sichen.¡±
Pei Zhen called out. He opened his eyes, but there was no sign of the young Great Genius, nor running track, nor frantic cheering.
The familiar ceiling, the familiar room, the familiar feeling of waking up in the night, and he was still a cat.
Pei Zhen instinctively turned his head to look.
Fu Sichen was gone.
He reached his paw out to feel the bedsheets¡ªthey were cold. He had no idea when he left.
Huh. Didn¡¯t he fear having no ie? He was as busy as ever!
He couldn¡¯t say what he was feeling, but there was a sudden sense of loss.
There wasn¡¯t anyone around. Pei Zhen took the liberty to be himself andid on his back, limbs spread out in four different directions.
He stared at the ceiling in a daze, his mind a nk. After a while, Pei Zhen sluggishly got up from the position.
As usual, wearing his pet suit, he brushed his teeth and cleaned his face in the bathroom. After washing up, he trotted into the living room.
Xiao Nian had taken leave for the day, saying that he was going to meet with his ¡®wife¡¯.
And now, there was only Pei Zhen, the lone cat, in the huge apartment.
With a growling stomach, Pei Zhen thought about breakfast as he walked out. A gust of wind came through the balcony and blew a piece of loosely held down paper from the dining table onto the floor.
It drifted down andnded in front of Pei Zhen.
The ck handwriting printed on the white piece of paper was amazing and beautiful.
¡°Made breakfast, in the fridge, heat up before eating.¡±
Pei Zhen looked at the note.
Fu Sichen¡¯s writing was easily recognizable, and it warmed Pei Zhen¡¯s heart, but he was still feeling guilty.
It was probably best not to dabble in or think about things that couldn¡¯t be figured out.
Pei Zhen steeled himself and put off eating breakfast. The wind swept through again, catching the piece of paper and flipping it around.
¡°I lovingly prepared the breakfast, it would be irresponsible not to eat it.¡±
What freaking irresponsibility!
For thest few days, Pei Zhen felt that he had done nothing but roll his eyes. Although feeling depressed, it was breakfast that Fu Sichen had prepared, and Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t bear letting it go to waste.
Considering that he was only a cat, Fu Sichen had ced the food on the lowestpartment of the fridge; even the microwave sat on the low coffee table.
Unfortunately, Pei Zhen was a real handicapped when it came to everyday life, and had to look for instructions on the inte¡ªhow hopeless.
Once he got onto the inte, he automatically logged into Weibo.
The hot search headlines were still about Best Actor Fu.
Wang Youquan did a good PR job and thought along a simr line as Pei Zhen¡ªhe had med the Persian cat for the posting the ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯.
[How Mischievous Can A Drunk Persian Cat Get?]
It was a short 1000-word article, out of which most of it was describing how clever Best Actor Fu¡¯s Persian cat was.
The summary said: ¡°The Likes were posted identally by the Persian cat, Fu Sichen was unaware.¡±
At least some readers wavered in their opinion. After all, it was a deliberate rification.
¡°It was really the Persian cat that posted the Like¡¯s. How clever! Of all thements, the cat picked those arguments denying the scandals?¡±
The pointed remark made people realize howme the exnation was.
Very quickly, the questioningment received ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯. Not only that, Fu Sichen, who had been newly nick-named ¡®Demon Liker¡¯ just the day before, had sprung into action again!
He had posted a ¡®Like¡¯ on thement.
Wang Youquan felt like dying.
It wouldn¡¯t matter how many emergency rescue pills he took, his heart was pounding like crazy.
All the PR that he had so carefully put in ce had gone to waste with that newly posted ¡®Like¡¯ by Fu Sichen!
¡°Fu Sichen? Are you really Fu Sichen? Or have you been possessed by Pei Zhen¡¯s spirit?¡±

It waspletely wrong!
Such a ludicrous maneuver could only have originated from Pei Zhen that rascal!
Ever since Pei Zhen got into an ident, Fu Sichen¡¯s actions had grown to be more rebellious, and more like Pei Zhen.
It broke Wang Youquan¡¯s heart, and he wished Xiao Nian was there to have a venting session with him.
¡°Very like Pei Zhen?¡± Fu Sichen was ted to hear that. ¡°Like a real couple, that¡¯s not bad.¡±
Wang Youquan thought that he must have been hearing things. ¡°What?¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t bother to exin his remark on further probing. He gave Wang Youquan a meaningful nce and left.
Wang Youquan was stunned for a while, trying to figure out what Fu Sichen meant. With serious difficulty, he reached a conclusion.
He was hearing things, definitely hearing things.
Perhaps Fu Sichen was just sarcastic towards him for talking nonsense.
Wang Youquan seriously thought further and made aparison. He felt that Pei Zhen was undoubtedly the more mischievous party; his artist Best Actor was, without doubt, the more mature and serious of the two.
Yes, that was it!
He had to convince himself. Wang Youquan solemnly repeated the notion. He looked at the Weibo Hot Search again and was no longer bothered by the headline. As long as it was decided that the Persian cat posted the ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯.
Fu Sichen recently acted in a film in which Lin Yousu was the supporting actress.
After the postings incident, Lin Yousu had be a target of the Netizen¡¯s discussions, and they directed so many questions at her that she got nervous andpletely avoided social media.
That was way wrong!
Lin Yousu was not happy and put on a cold expression to show her anger during a photoshoot with Fu Sichen during filming. She held her head high and back straight, and before she even had the time to sound her displeasure, Fu Sichen had already walked right past her.
He didn¡¯t even nce at her, not to mention exchange a greeting.
¡°Despicable! ¡°Lin Yousu hit her boiling point. ¡°A mere Best Actor. What¡¯s so great about him? It¡¯s his privilege that I¡¯d even take advantage of him to gain poprity!¡±
Lin Yousu could not for the life of her understand why Fu Sichen would want to turn down the win-win opportunity of spreading a scandal.
It wasn¡¯t a big deal that he rejected it, and so be it if he had chosen to disregard it. But why did he have to post ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯ on it and get back at her for it after the whole matter had blown over? She had been ripped to shreds by theizens.
¡°Where¡¯s general manager Chen?¡± Lin Yousu¡¯s manager remarked, ¡°Isn¡¯t Fu Sichen the spokesperson for his game? We can get General Manager Chen to change their spokesperson!
¡°Spokesperson?¡± Lin Yousu rolled her eyes. ¡°For such a lousy game, do you think Fu Sichen will care?¡±
Furthermore, for thepany to change a spokesperson for no good reason, the liquidated damages that they would have to pay would be enough to bankrupt them. How would that profit-seeking investor allow hispany to lose money?
¡°What should we do then?¡±
Silence.
Lin Yousu had no idea.
To begin with, Lin Yousu wasn¡¯t a person whocked self-awareness. It was just that she couldn¡¯t help feeling yed-out ever since selling the Persian cat to Fu Sichen.
Lin Yousu was already twenty-five.
The entertainment circle was an unkind ce. If one didn¡¯t gain fame early on, it would be even harder to do so when one aged.
Lin Yousu was aware that her time was limited. Even though she was known to be one of the up-anding leadingdies, the fact was that she had never bagged a Best Lead Actress award. Her acting skills were nothing to speak of, and once her youth had flown, it would be the end of her.
Taking the present drama as an example, she had only managed to gain the role in exchange for sexual favors for the Producer, and for all that was worth, it was only a supporting role.
If she was going to perform sexual favors anyway, it might as well be with someone good-looking.
Lin Yousu thought of Fu Sichen.
Different from Pei Zhen¡¯s type of good-looking, which had general appeal, Fu Sichen¡¯s good-looking was the sort that women loved most.
¡°Be patient,¡± Lin Yousu thought, ¡°The opportunity wille.¡±

Fu Sichen had insisted on staying in a hotel during the recent filming jobs.
One couldn¡¯t imagine why, when the filming location was a three-hour drive away, he didn¡¯t want to stay in a hotel; but now when the drive was just half an hour away, he insisted on staying in one.
Oh, because the filming location was near the hospital. He even selected the hotel closest to the hospital.
It was no more than 200 meters away, and a costly five-star hotel.
Wang Youquan was worried to death.
Although Fu Sichen was in the Best Actor league and had a high status, he had never beenvish or made difficult requests of the filming crew.
To save on cost, the filming crew had selected a normal hotel. Wang Youquan didn¡¯t want to kick up a fuss.
¡°What are you thinking?¡± Fu Sichen flicked an AMEX ck Card at Wang Youquan. Carrying the Persian cat in his arms, he had his usual icy look. ¡°I¡¯ll pay for myself.¡±
That silenced Wang Youquan.
He looked at Fu Sichen and the cat walking towards the hospital and couldn¡¯t even begin to understand. Since when was his Best Actor on such close terms with the enemy¡¯s potential Best Actor?
The candidate was still in aa.
They had hit a patch of tough luck. Xiao Nian had announced that Pei Zhen was recuperating and would be making aeback soon.
But who knew how long ¡®soon¡¯ was going to be?
The entertainment line was different from other industries. If they wanted to go far, the celebrities had to work hard to maintain their poprity and to clinch advertisement deals. Without enough exposure, no amount of nning would help.
Ever since the ident, Pei Zhen¡¯s poprity was indeed plunging. Apart from the die-hard fans, many of the other fans had already started to move on.
Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t help but give another sigh.
Forget it, if Fu Sichen wanted to visit, let him do so. No matter what, they were childhood buddies once. Even if they were enemies, they shouldn¡¯t hate each otherpletely.
Fu Sichen would never guess that his own manager was such an imaginative man.
He had given the jade pendant, which was rumored to be magical, to the Persian cat awhile back. He was hoping that Pei Zhen would quickly be a human again, but s, Pei Zhen was still a cat.
But whatever it was, as long as it was Pei Zhen, he would be adorable no matter what he became.
It was only that a human being was much softer to kiss.
For a long time, Fu Sichen had hidden in his heart secret images of intimacy with Pei Zhen. Of course one couldn¡¯t tell by looking at him. He looked so decent and polite.
¡°Why is he still a cat?¡± cing Pei Zhen on the bed, his eyebrows knit into a frown. He bent over and asked Pei Zhen, ¡°Did you feel anything changes after wearing the jade pendant?¡±
Not a freaking bit!
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes and then moved his paws over the keyboard to type out a message: [Look for a Taoist priest. The monks cannot be trusted, and I¡¯m more of a Taoist.]
Blessed my foot! That must have been a lie!
Fu Sichen rubbed his nose and pursed his lips in a slightly embarrassed manner. He didn¡¯t want to cause Pei Zhen any awkwardness by telling Pei Zhen the fact that the pendant was from a Taoist source.
¡°I¡¯m looking for both a Taoist priest and a Shaman.¡± Fu Sichen took out some research materials as he said, ¡°Pei Pei, I saw this¡ªI heard that this talisman is quite powerful.¡±
There was a picture of a yellow talisman on the mobile screen. The scrawlings wereplicated, and at first nce, it all looked legit. However, upon looking further down, Pei Zhen read a line ¡®the red ink for writing the talisman requires the lover¡¯s blood¡¯, and he automatically gave a bitterugh.
What the heck.
Was the self-professed lover Fu Sichen going to dig his own heart out?
Pei Zhen looked at Fu Sichen with an expression full of ridicule, and an arrogance that issued the challenge e then, dig out your own heart if you dare.¡¯ Fu Sichen only gave a slight smile as he took a needle to prick his finger.
¡°The vessels of the fingers lead to the heart. The blood from the fingertips would be alright.¡±
Speechless.

Fu Sichen actually wrote the talisman.
Like a truly talented all-rounder.
He only took one look at theplicated scrawlings and was able to reproduce it urately and quickly.
Pei Zhen felt that Fu Sichen was a real idiot.
But his heart warmed towards the stupid Fu Sichen. He felt his blood pulsating and his body burning.
Fu Sichen was looking very serious as he drew.
He was awash in the soft light. His profile was handsome, with his lips pursed slightly and his sincere expression.
No matter what he had to do in the process, he was doing it whole-heartedly for Pei Zhen.
¡°Done.¡± Drawing a talisman required quite a bit of blood. Fu Sichen didn¡¯t seem to mind the pain of pricking his fingertips. Once he finished, he quickly showed it to Pei Zhen as if seeking approval. ¡°I did it sincerely.¡±
Pei Zhen looked him in the eyes and was stunned for a moment. The words ¡®You¡¯re not even my lover¡¯ didn¡¯t find their way out of his throat.
¡°After drawing the talisman, we have to burn it and make talisman water.¡± Fu Sichen referred to his research material. ¡°And you have to drink it while it¡¯s hot for best effect.¡±
¡°What?¡± Pei Zhen suddenly panicked and widened his eyes. He meowed anxiously. ¡°Are you nuts? You mean I have to drink talisman water? Fu Sichen, are you deluded? Wake up!¡±
To follow the silly ¡°Sorcery 101¡± manual was already his limit. Pei Zhen swore that if Fu Sichen made him drink talisman water, he would rather perform kamikaze and kill both of them.
¡°Ok, I was just teasing you.¡± Fu Sichen could easily read Pei Zhen. He folded the talisman and strung a red string through it, and then he hung it around Pei Zhen¡¯s neck. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the talisman is from a Taoist priest. I heard that he¡¯s quite a professional one.¡±
It didn¡¯t matter if it was superstitious. The reality was worse than anything, and it wasn¡¯t a real option to not believe.
Pei Zhen choked for a bit. He nced at the jade pendant, then at the talisman, and finally at Fu Sichen¡¯s slightly yful expression. He couldn¡¯t help but feel angry.
¡°You¡¯re rejecting my sincerity?¡± Fu Sichen smiled. It was just in him to be a tease. ¡°You said you were going to be responsible towards me, was that a lie? One really cannot believe what men say.¡±
What the¡.
What did that have to do with responsibility?!
Pei Zhen felt used and ignored Fu Sichen. Only, the moment he took a look at Fu Sichen¡¯s hopeful expression, it was as though he had fallen under some sort of spell¡ªas though he was possessed. He walked up close to Fu Sichen and gently licked his fingertips.
As the faint taste of blood spread in his mouth, Pei Zhen suddenly felt an electrifying force zapping him out of that mesmerized state. He retreated, jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
Crap! Crap! Crap!
What was wrong with him?!
He was actually licking his sworn enemy¡¯s fingertips!
The Persian cat was a flurry of confusion, and he was livid. On the other hand, Best Actor Fu was smiling uncontrobly.
His fingertips were warm from Pei Zhen¡¯s touch, and his heart full and content.
Pei Pei would eventually be his¡
Fu Sichen went to the hospital every so often, more so than before. And of course, that caught the attention of the paparazzi.
They had already known that Fu Sichen was filming nearby, and the reporters, of course, milled around. Slowly, their focus shifted to the hospital.
¡°He¡¯s here again. It¡¯s the second time today.¡±
¡°If I remember right, Pei Zhen is in this hospital.¡±
¡°Tsk tsk, aren¡¯t the two of them opponents? Since when were they close friends?¡±
¡°That Persian cat¡ didn¡¯t Pei Zhen get into an ident because he was trying to save it?¡±

¡°Fu Sichen had very few rtionships those years.¡±
It hadn¡¯t been long after Fu Sichen had gone around posting ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯ onments when another report made the news.
The paparazzi adopted a gentler tone and came up with a checklist, and cleverly coted whatever news they had on the list.
Fu Sichen had been in the entertainment industry for more than eight years, and all the scandals were mostly attempts to take advantage of his poprity to gain some fame; there was almost no truth to the scandals.
But there was one particr rumor that, like a stronghold, wouldn¡¯t sumb.
¡°Being nosey about Fu Sichen¡¯s secret past with Pei Zhen.¡±
¡°Stereotypical case of lovers killing each other; from now on I support Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen the couple.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t miss this! That special moment Fu Sichen and Second Man Pei looked into each other¡¯s eyes!¡±
Posts such as that had long been circting among the Fujoshi. Pei Zhen had never thought along those lines before and had no idea that he and Fu Sichen had inspired such gay spinoffs. Otherwise, if he had seen terms like ¡®Chen-Pei¡¯, ¡®Fu-Pei topics¡¯ and so on, he would have hit the roof.
Because there had already been a readership following, when news of Fu Sichen visiting the hospital was released, their Fujoshi fans went into a frenzy.
¡°Staple, this is a staple! We are for Chen Pei forever!¡±
¡°Those who were for the man-cat rtionship previously were devastated. It was obvious that the Persian cat was the Fu-Pei connection bridge!¡±
¡°To emphasize the point, the Persian cat was rescued by Pei Zhen! To look after the sworn enemy¡¯s cat, it¡¯s way, way, way cute!¡±
Of course, it was natural for the couple fans to be jumping to conclusions every once in a while. Inparison, Pei Zhen¡¯s die-hard loyal fans were more concerned about their idol¡¯s physical condition.
¡°Is Daddy Pei alright?¡±
¡°Xiao Nian Nian, stop posting on Weibo on behalf of Daddy Pei. You can¡¯t even do a decent copy of his arrogance.¡±
¡°So worried about Pei Pei¡ whimper. Sincerely praying that Pei Pei will be fine.¡±
Wang Youquan wasmenting on the dip in Pei Zhen¡¯s poprity, and suddenly, Pei Zhen made it to the hot search again. The two names were appearing side by side. There were the couple fans who jumped to conclusions; and of course, the evil fans did not want to be forgotten. Ultimately, even if Number Two Man Pei had an ident, he was still a hot focus of the entertainment circle.
In addition, when Pei Zhen¡¯s name drewments on coupledom, the Likes-Posting Demon Fu Sichen stopped suddenly.
¡°What lovers killing each other?¡± Wang Youquan frowned as he looked at the Netizen¡¯s lewd ideas. ¡°These people are seriously sick. Sichen, why don¡¯t we give things a boost¡ªthis time we post ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯ on thosements denying scandals?¡±
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t be bothered to chide Wang Youquan¡ªhe was busy and deep in concentration reading the script. When Wang Youquan opened his mouth to speak, it annoyed Fu Sichen. Fu Sichen red at Wang Youquan and felt that he was too noisy.
Wang Youquan was stumped.
Crap!
He just felt that something wasn¡¯t quite right!
¡°Sichen,¡± Wang Youquan said softly and cautiously, ¡°You and Pei Zhen wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with each other before. You didn¡¯t quite like seeing him.¡±
¡°That¡¯s your delusion,¡± Fu Sichen said without taking his eyes off the script. He flipped the page. ¡°My rtionship with Pei Zhen has always been good.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true, Pei Zhen made you out to be an eyesore for him.¡± Wang Youquan made every effort to jog Fu Sichen¡¯s memory. ¡°At the award ceremony, he sabotaged you to buy dinner for everyone.¡±
¡°Haven¡¯t you alwaysmented that I don¡¯t do enough PR?¡± Fu Sichen said tly, ¡°Pei Zhen was helping me to socialize and build awork.¡±
¡°¡ but you took away Pei Zhen¡¯s spokesperson deal!¡± Wang Youquan wouldn¡¯t give up.
¡°That was a fair fight. I didn¡¯t take it away hically.¡±
¡°Fair? He had just joined the entertainment industry at that time¡ Tsk, no. Sichen, tell me. What do you really think of Pei Zhen?¡±
Loads of contradicting behavior.
It was to the point that Wang Youquan was beginning to suspect the nature of their rtionship.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡± Fu Sichen snapped shut the script and smiled. ¡°¡ is my future boyfriend.¡±

B-boyfriend?
Wang Youquan suspected that, ofte, he must be feeling his age. He kept hearing things.
Male¡ male friend perhaps.
Wang Youquan looked frantically for reasons on behalf of Fu Sichen. He searched his memory for every piece of evidence that proved Fu Sichen was straight. Plus there was the fact that Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen obviously didn¡¯t get along. Even if he were gay, surely it wouldn¡¯t be with Pei Zhen!
¡°Si¡ Sichen¡¡± Wang Youquan gulped nervously. ¡°I know you and Pei Zhen were childhood buddies. You like him¡ like a little brother¡¡±
¡°Little brother?¡± Fu Sichen didn¡¯t wait for Wang Youquan to finish before he scoffed. ¡°Who wants a little brother? I like Pei Zhen¡ªthe romantic sort of like.¡±
Wang Youquan was stumped.
Boyfriend¡ fall in love¡ like¡
The words were like a zing fire that burnt into Pei Zhen¡¯s ears, and his heart started to flutter madly.
Who wanted to be his boyfriend? Who agreed to date him? He was only speaking for himself, that stinker.
The Persian cat was just returning from the toilet. He ced his front paw on the room door, but after hearing the conversation didn¡¯t enter the room.
His face was burning like it had been electrocuted. Pei Zhen retracted his paw and nced back at the tightly shut door. He felt the room spinning. The word ¡®boyfriend¡¯ yed repeatedly in his head.
He could no longer take it.
He had to stop thinking about it!
He lifted his paw and pped himself, and then cried out in pain when it ended up harder than he intended.
¡°Who¡¯s that!¡±
A voice asked sternly, footsteps following closely after.
Realizing that he was about to be discovered, Pei Zhen¡¯s heart pounded. He retreated a few steps, turned around, and headed for the corridor. In his panic, he made a wrong turn into a resting room.
Tap, tap.
The footsteps continued to advance.
After all, Best Actor Fu had just made a startling statement, and it would have dire consequences if it fell on the wrong ears.
Wang Youquan¡¯s personality was normally agreeable, but the him in that moment looked scarily cold.
¡°Wang Youquan?¡± Lin Yousu and her manager had just returned from the end of the day¡¯s filming. Seeing that Wang Youquan was walking towards their resting room, their faces clouded over instantly. ¡°Are you looking for me?¡±
Why would he look for her?
Lin Yousu was hoping that Wang Youquan was looking for her to discuss the possibility of creating a scandal involving Fu Sichen. She was waiting for him to make that request so that she had an opportunity to m him.
¡°Nothing.¡± He cruelly dashed her hopes. Wang Youquan peered in the direction of the resting room; the door was tightly shut.
Maybe it was just him being overly-suspicious.
They couldn¡¯t possibly be that unlucky, having someone overhear the moment Fu Sichen came out.
Comforting himself that way, Wang Youquan exchanged a few cordial remarks with Lin Yousu before he turned to leave.
¡°What exactly was he here for?¡± In the first ce, Lin Yousu took it personally that Best Actor Fu¡¯s manager had not orded her the right level of respect. ¡°How odd.¡±
¡°Yousu, there¡¯s no point getting angry over an inconsequential person.¡± Checking to ensure that he had shut the door tightly behind them, he whispered, ¡°He¡¯s so full of himself, but it¡¯s only because of who his boss is.¡±
Lin Yousu showed an annoyed expression and made noments. In any case, Wang Youquan was not her target. She turned, lowered the back of her armchair, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll prove the scandal tonight, and it will be a p in Fu Sichen¡¯s face!¡±
¡°Yousu.¡± Her manager was rather curious. ¡°How are you going to do that?¡±

How was Lin Yousu going to prove it?
It was almost impossible for people to get close to a sober Fu Sichen. Given this, the only way was to go down the hical path.
¡°He would certainly go to the hospital.¡± Lin Yousu had been doing her homework too these days, and she managed to figure out Fu Sichen¡¯s schedule. ¡°Once we¡¯re at the hospital, there will be ways.¡±
The entertainment circle was, by nature, awork fuelled by gossip and rumors.
Underneath the cloud of mour and glitz was thick, filthy smog.
The various drugs aside, there were also aphrodisiacs that did not normally see the light of day.
¡°I¡¯ll go and see Pei Zhen too.¡± Lin Yousu had a smirk on her face. ¡°I¡¯ll drug him, and when it¡¯s all over, I¡¯ll break the news to the reporters. By then, any fake scandals would have be real news.¡±
¡°Yousu.¡± her manager was stunned for a moment and hesitated. ¡°It¡¯s just a scandal, is there a need to go to that extent?¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Lin Yousu snorted lightly as she gave her manager an icyugh. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you are so incapable, and if it weren¡¯t for the fact that you weren¡¯t able to clinch the deal, would I need to do this?¡±
Lin Yousu had been unfortunatetely.
People scolded her for being scheming when all she wanted to do was to ride on Fu Sichen¡¯s poprity.
Despite been selected for filming of the War of the Pets, she not only didn¡¯t get an opportunity to prove herself to be the Persian cat¡¯s ex-owner, but she didn¡¯t even manage to improve her poprity ratings. Even her Husky had be popr overnight.
Damn it.
It made one mad topare oneself to others.
It had been one problem after another. The night before, Lin Yousu had a word with her investor. Initially, she wanted to throw a little girly tantrum to get him to release more resources, but in the background, there was the flightyughter of another woman.
Great.
Now he found fault with her and was getting a little cold towards her.
Lin Yousu was anxious, but could only swallow her own anger and frustrations. Hence she decided to make use of Fu Sichen.
It had to work.
Under the influence of the aphrodisiac, and in the presence of a stunner like herself, there was no way he could preserve his decency.
Lin Yousu had it all nned out.
When Pei Zhen overheard the n, he was livid.
He was hiding behind the curtains, and he could hear every word exchanged between Lin Yousu and her manager.
A fury consumed him, almost making him lose his mind.
Even if Fu Sichen was a stinker, she wasn¡¯t good enough to covet him!
Pei Zhen was so angry that he wanted to attack Lin Yousu and tear her to bits immediately.
But he wasn¡¯t a human being; he was just a cat.
Although he had fought men, the resting room was cluttered. If he was unlucky, not only would he not get to attack, but he could end up captured.
Crap!
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but curse in his mind. He was too angry, and his mind was a blur, caught between announcing his presence and restraining himself and nning revenge. He wavered for a bit and had just decided on a confrontation when Lin Yousu¡¯s manager realized that something wasn¡¯t right.
¡°Persian cat!¡±
The curtains were billowing in the wind, and when they fell back in ce, it revealed the shape of a cat. The manager was startled. ¡°This cat¡ why is it here?¡±
She gave no answers.
The Persian cat charged towards them with aggression and went straight at Lin Yousu.
Lin Yousu was shocked and turned white. Instinctively, she screamed and grabbed the broom near her. Then she shut her eyes and swiped the broom at the cat.
¡°Idiot cat! Who brought you home in the beginning? You traitor!¡±
Lin Yousu¡¯s manager remained loyal to her in times of danger. He grabbed a chair and in a sh, valiantly put himself in front of Lin Yousu to protect her. ¡°Scram! Get out!¡±
Themotion and shouting attracted some of the filming crew staff. Someone kicked the resting room door open, and when Pei Zhen saw the opportunity to escape, he darted out at top speed.

His body was burning.
Untimely dizziness.
The jade pendant around Pei Zhen¡¯s neck had lit up with an unearthly glow when Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t aware.
¡°What happened? What happened?¡±
The assistants rushed over when they heard the shrill cries. Some of them felt something brush against their legs, but they didn¡¯t stop to look.
¡°Cat!¡± Lin Yousu cried. There wasn¡¯t a sign of her usual elegant calmness. ¡°That ill-deserving Persian cat!¡±
Persian cat?
Everyone was stunned and looked at one anoher, suddenly remembering that Fu Sichen¡¯s cat was a Persian cat.
That cat was very adorable¡
¡°There¡¯s no cat here.¡± They looked around the resting room. The assistants were stumped. ¡°Miss Yousu, er¡ things are fine.¡±
The news reached Wang Youquan¡¯s ears, and because it had to do with the cat, he went over. He couldn¡¯t hide his anxiousness. ¡°Was it Pei Pei you saw? Where is he?¡±
¡°Wang Youquan!¡± Lin Yousu¡¯s manager was angry upon seeing Wang Youquan. ¡°Even if he¡¯s Best Actor, isn¡¯t it too much to be bringing a cat onto the filming set? He almost attacked Yousu!¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Wang Youquan had always behaved respectfully in the presence of Fu Sichen, but at that moment he was quite cold. ¡°Apologies.¡±
Although he apologized, his face showed no remorse, and certainly didn¡¯t look apologetic.
At that point, he too was concerned about where the cat might be. He turned to ask the assistants, adopting a much gentler tone than before.
¡°Er¡ he ran very fast¡ I think in that direction.¡±
Wang Youquan thanked the assistant and left hurriedly in the direction that the assistant had pointed.
Of all times, it had to be at such a critical moment.
Fu Sichen received a call from the hospital saying that Pei Zhen¡¯s condition was deteriorating.
His body temperature and heart rate had risen although he was still in aa.
Xiao Nian had gone on a business trip, and there was no one looking after Pei Zhen in the hospital. Immediately, Fu Sichen rushed to the hospital; Wang Youquan too, headed over with the cat.
Wang Youquan didn¡¯t quite understand why he had to take the cat to the hospital, but Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was tense and overly cold. Wang Youquan could only keep any questions for another time.
Well.
When Wang Youquan went to the resting broom to get the little deity, it was nowhere to be seen. That was when he heard themotioning from Lin Yousu¡¯s resting room.
Lin Yousu had been rmed by the cat and couldn¡¯t calm down. The assistants present felt that the woman was kicking up a fuss for nothing. It was just a cat, did she have to overreact?
Out of politeness, they tried tofort her and left after that. Lin Yousu was livid. Gritting her teeth, she instructed, ¡°Go get Fu Sichen!¡±
He¡¯d better have a good exnation, and it would be for the best if hepensated her!
She was disagreeable, but she was also rmed.
It was difficult for others to understand how aggressive and fierce the Persian cat was if they hadn¡¯t seen it for themselves!
¡°What a heartless beast!¡± Even if Fu Sichen had never wanted to admit it, she was ultimately the ex-owner of the cat. Yet the Persian cat had turned against her.
Lin Yousu made her way towards Fu Sichen¡¯s resting room, cursing and swearing. She knocked on the door, but there was no one inside.
Lin Yousu¡¯s manager wanted to advise her to give up, but she wouldn¡¯t hear of it. She turned around and headed out.
¡°He¡¯s not around, so I¡¯m sure he¡¯s gone to the hospital.¡±
Lin Yousu quickly walked towards the hospital, which was near the filming location. On the way, she schemingly made a few scratches on her arms.
The hospital was busy.
The doctors and nurses were moving briskly in and out of the VIP ward, all under pressure and closely keeping watch over Pei Zhen.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s dark eyes were scarily cold. ¡°I only want him to be well. There can be only one oue.¡±

Chapter 132: Felt His Soul Suspended in the Air

¡°Pei Pei, Pei Pei!¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s footsteps were faint, and he felt as if his soul was leaving his body; his mind was in a blur.
Someone was calling his name, it sounded anxious, but there was also a hint of happiness.
He lifted his head weakly, using all the effort he could muster, but all he could manage was to half-open his eyes to see a pair of hands.
The pair of hands lifted him up.
¡°Little deity, look how you run. You frightened me.¡±
Oh, it was Wang Youquan.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t figure out what was wrong with himself. Under such circumstances, he somehow felt a tinge of anger and resentment. Why wasn¡¯t it Fu Sichen who came looking for him?
Wang Youquan seemed to be in a hurry and was muttering about something that Pei Zhen didn¡¯t quite catch.
The pain in his chest was spreading like fire, and it was engulfing him. Pei Zhen was beginning to feel like he couldn¡¯t breathe.
At that point, he was struggling fiercely, and he was anxious to see Fu Sichen. Luckily, Wang Youquan was taking him to the hospital.
The hospital was buzzing with activity, and the atmosphere was frantic.
The people in white overcoats were busy, and their expressions were serious. They didn¡¯t react much even when they saw Wang Youquan with the cat in his arms.
It was a life and death matter, and cute animals didn¡¯t interest them at that point.
¡°Sichen, Sichen.¡± Wang Youquan forced his way into the room and wanted to ask about Pei Zhen¡¯s condition. Fu Sichen scrambled up and hurriedly grabbed the Persian cat.
¡°Pei Pei, Pei Pei¡¡± His big hands encircled the cat. Fu Sichen bent over close, so close his lips were almost touching the cat¡¯s ear. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me, don¡¯t leave me¡¡±
Wisps of warm air carrying his subtle pleading reached past Pei Zhen¡¯s ears and left their marks on his heart.
It was madness.
And it is bing very gay.
Before he passed out, Pei Zhen only had that thought in his head, and it was unreal.
¡°The patient¡¯s condition has returned to normal.¡± The doctor heaved a sigh of relief, his tone full of dness. ¡°But he¡¯s still quite weak and needs good looking-after.¡±
¡°Yes, thank you, doctor.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s voice was hoarse and low, loaded with irresistible appeal.
Pei Zhen moved his eyelids with some difficulty, forcing himself to wake up. He half-opened his eyes and saw a pair of pale hands.
The pair of hands was holding out a ss of water, and the voice of the hands¡¯ owner was pleasant and gentle. ¡°Best Actor Fu, don¡¯t worry. Pei Zhen will be fine.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Sichen.¡± Wang Youquan was advising him by his side. ¡°Since he survived, good fortune will follow. Pei Zhen will surely make it through.¡±
Everything sounded good.
It was questionable whether it consoled Fu Sichen, but since the ss of water had been thrust in his face, it seemed too much not to take it.
He took a sip.
Fu Sichen did the niceties so that Lin Yousu would leave. The doctor stopped by to request some forms be signed. Fu Sichen was about to do it when Wang Youquan insisted that he would do it instead so that Fu Sichen could remain in the room.
After Wang Youquan left the room, Lin Yousu¡¯s manager tactfully excused himself as well.
The only moving humans in the room were Fu Sichen and Lin Yousu.
Pei Zhen suddenly thought of the conversation that he had overheard at the resting room and remembered Lin Yousu¡¯s scheme. He felt his anger rising again. He red at Lin Yousu who was trying to get close to Fu Sichen.
Pei Zhen, who was still a cat, widened his eyes and gathered all the energy he had. He jumped up boldly with a whoosh, his extended ws, and charged towards her!
¡°Arghhhhhh!¡±
The woman cried out, using her handbag to take a swipe at the already weak Persian cat. The cat fell onto the bed with a loud thud.
A searing pain. Pei Zhen vaguely felt his soul suspended in the air.

The doctors who barely had a moment to breathe had to jump into action again.
Where previously Pei Zhen¡¯s heart rate been rmingly high, his pulse reading started tlining.
Ignoring the odd feeling of his own body in upward flight, Fu Sichen threw himself forward. His face was ashen as he held Pei Zhen as well as the Persian cat.
¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen? Pei Zhen!¡±
There was no heartbeat detected, and he felt suspended as if his body was in the deep sea, and he was suffocating¡ almost¡ dying. His soul was about to be wiped out!
¡°Doctor! Doctor! Help him, please!¡±
Thump.
Something had fallen.
The drops merged to be a long thread, and nothing could stop it.
His heart felt like it was tearing apart and the pain was numbing, to the point that he could no longer feel anything.
¡°B-Best Actor Fu¡¡± Lin Yousu had never seen anything like that, and she was nerve-wracked. Her voice was trembling when she said, ¡°I, I only lightly swiped the cat. I¡¡±
Fu sichen looked up. His stare was biting cold, and his deep eyes were murderous with overflowing anger. They were like knives, like swords, like a violent thunderstorm charging at her.
Lin Yousu¡¯s heart almost stopped, and she retreated in fear, not daring to say another word. Then she ran out of the room.
She had never seen that side of Fu Sichen, cold and dark like a demon rising from the abyss.
Pei Zhen was not unconscious for too long.
When his soul left the cat¡¯s body, there was a conscious feeling of something peeling away. Before he lost consciousness, there was only one thought in his head.
She drugged Fu Sichen.
That¡¯s right.
Drugged? She had drugged his sworn enemy! What about Lin Yousu, was she still around?!
Thinking that thought, Pei Zhen felt his chest tighten, and his back broke out in cold sweat.
Regardless of his emotions, he was not happy that someone drugged Fu Sichen. As he gradually regained consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.
¡°Sichen, you¡ don¡¯t you¡¡± Wang Youquan¡¯sforting words were the first thing he heard. ¡°Pei Pei¡ Pei Pei will be fine¡¡±
Hmmmph, Pei Zhen thought. He had luck and fortune on his side, of course he¡¯d be alright. It was just that he waited for a while and still had no response from Fu Sichen. Suspiciously, Pei Zhen half-opened his eyes and looked down through the slit.
Fu Sichen was carrying the Persian cat in his arms.
His eyes were lifeless, like his soul was gone, as he looked at the cat.
Fu Sichen looked traumatized. Outwardly he was tall and outstanding, a sight to be reckoned with, but at that moment he looked vulnerable.
Pei Zhen was speechless.
Why was he staring at the cat? He should be looking at Pei Zhen the man!
Wait. Wait a minute.
He nced at the cat, and then instinctively felt his own body. Gathering all the courage he had, he cautiously looked down at himself.
Hospital pajamas, chest, hands¡
Human hands!
He¡ he¡ he had be a human again!
He couldn¡¯t contain his happiness. Pei Zhen was going to call out when from outside the room a body aggressively charged in.
¡°Pei Pei.¡±¡±Pei Pei.¡±¡±Pei Pei!¡±
Xiao Nian, who was on a business trip, almost fainted when he heard the news and immediately flew back.
Now he was crying and wailing. Like a whirlwind, he charged up and threw himself onto Pei Zhen¡¯s body, shouting himself hoarse. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, Daddy, wake up, please wake up. If only you¡¯d wake up, your son, I, will swear off eating meat for three years!¡±
Xiao Nian was crying quite hard, his tears flowing freely and wetting Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen was not d at all and only wanted to give Xiao Nian a flying kick.
Luckily, he didn¡¯t have to lift a finger.
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was one of determination. He reached out for Xiao Nian¡¯s cor and said icily, ¡°Get out.¡±
At that distance, Fu Sichen looked down and met Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes.

¡°There¡¯s a magazine cover shoot this afternoon¡ªit¡¯s a top international magazine.¡±
¡°Do you want to take on a Fantasy Martial Arts film, or a City Romance film?¡±
¡°There¡¯s a variety show that¡¯s not too bad. I have a gut feeling that it will definitely be hot.¡±
Now that he was back to being an artiste manager again, Xiao Nian was high-spirited, and even the way he walked took on a stylish air.
It had been three days since Pei Zhen woke up.
The resentful Daddy Pei had regained hisid back nature. Now, he was slumped on the sofa as though he didn¡¯t have a bone in his body, looking at his mobile phone once in a while.
¡°Pei Pei?¡± Xiao Nian got lonesome after Pei Zhen didn¡¯t respond for some time. He decided to go to Pei Zhen¡¯s home instead. ¡°Is Daddy Pei still engrossed in the joy of being human?¡±
Daddy Pei finally managed to peel his eyes off his mobile phone to nce at Xian Nian with disdain. ¡°Get lost.¡±
Although subject to ridicule and scorn, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t resist Daddy Pei¡¯s handsome looks and was momentarily mesmerized and bewitched, heart skipping a beat.
That was the end of it.
His heartbeat quickened.
His Daddy Pei was truly a witch.
¡°There¡¯s a magazine shoot this afternoon?¡± He couldn¡¯t care less what his manager was thinking. Pei Zhen stuffed his mobile phone into his pocket and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±
Pei Zhen was not as tall as Fu Sichen, but his five-foot-nine frame easily towered over most.
Seeing him straighten up reminded Xiao Nian of the fact that his artiste was a national idol!
The moment the National Idol left his office, it attracted a hoard of shrieking female fans.
¡°Pei Pei! Are you alright?! I¡¯ve been worried about you these days!¡±
¡°Daddy! You¡¯re finally out from the hospital! Daddy, I love you!¡±
¡°Daddy Pei, Daddy Pei, promise me, you have to take good care of yourself from now on!¡±
In the agency, there were even several workers who applied for a job there because of Pei Zhen.
In the days following Pei Zhen¡¯s ident, they had been bugging Xiao Nian on and off to get some news of their idol.
Fortunately, Pei Zhen was fine and out of the hospital atst.
The girls who were more emotional and sensitive would turn red in their eyes, then sob and cry, when they saw Pei Zhen.
Once they got choked with emotions, it would be infectious and cause all the other girls to cry.
¡°Okay, don¡¯t cry anymore.¡± Pei Zhen was sincerely touched; it was heart-warming to know they missed him. ¡°I¡¯d feel very guilty that I¡¯m causing you to shed tears.¡±
Pei Zhen had always been patient with his fans. He¡¯d agree to taking photos and signing autographs.
Knowing Pei Zhen¡¯s temperament, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t hurry him but waited for him to soothe the girls before escorting him out of the office building.
Although not the Best Actor, Pei Zhen¡¯s position and status were secure. The moment the hospital discharged him, the news spread like it had wings, and suddenly attracted a seemingly endless stream of reporters.
Everyone was vying for first-hand information on the Number Two Man, Pei Zhen.
As expected, the moment Pei Zhen stepped out of the office, reporters with their long-range camera lenses and microphones washed over him like a tide, quickly surrounding him.
¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen, we heard that the whole time you were in the hospital, you were in aa?¡±
¡°May we know what¡¯s your rtionship with Best Actor Fu? Did he look after you all the while when you were in the hospital?¡±
¡°What about Lin Yousu? An informant told us that she was spotted at the hospital.
There were many questions, but Pei Zhen chose to ignore them.
The bodyguards stood along two sides to create a clear path. Although Daddy Pei looked sluggish, he had an air of arrogance and supremacy.

The reporters had once again been ditched and left behind.
The mini-van took off and left a pile of dust that choked those in its trail.
¡°Tsk. These people.¡± Looking in the rear mirror, Xiao Nian saw the flustered and exasperated reporters, and couldn¡¯t help butughed aloud. ¡°That¡¯s Pei Pei for you. He¡¯s still hot after having disappeared for half a month.¡±
Hmmph. Pei Zhen gave the standard reaction. The moment he got into the car, he slumped in his seat again and nestled as though he didn¡¯t have a bone in his body.
¡°I¡¯m going to take a nap, wake me up when we arrive.¡±
Xiao Nian was speechless.
As Xiao Nian looked at Pei Zhen falling asleep, he suddenly had the vision of the white Persian cat.
Bute to think of it, it was quite amazing.
Pei Zhen had always loved to sleep.
Day-to-day assignments were an obligation, and he didn¡¯t have a choice. But on days where there were no assignments, the man could spend all his time sleeping and needed to be woken up.
God forbid that he turned into a cat again.
As Xiao Nian said a silent prayer in his heart, he stealthily took a picture of the sleeping Pei Zhen.
There was truth in the saying that face value was worth money. Without the need for any special lighting, the casual picture did nothing to diminish Pei Zhen¡¯s good looks.
Xiao Nian quickly posted an update on Weibo.
Pei Zhen¡¯s Weibo page was almost overgrown with weeds.
[Pei Zhen: Thank you little fairies¡ for showing your concern for me in recent days. *Butterfly kisses* *Butterfly kisses*]
The picture attached was the one Xiao Nian took of the sleeping Pei Zhen. If it weren¡¯t for the possibility that it might cause further trouble, Xiao Nian would have included a picture of the sleeping Persian cat.
It was a real match.
Seriously.
Not long after the Weibo post went live, Pei Zhen¡¯s ount flooded with reactions from his fans.
[¡°Ahhhhh! Hubby! How do you manage to be this handsome! *Delirious* *Delirious* *Delirious*]
¡°That¡¯s it. That¡¯s it. I¡¯ve been conquered again. Boyfriend, you are so dashing, and I have so manypetitors¡ whimper.¡±
¡°Finally Daddy Pei is back! Daddy Pei, I love you forever! Daddy, you are so beautiful!¡±
Ignoring some of the weirdments, such as ¡®beautiful¡¯, the other type ofments quickly came in as well.
¡°Wake up, everyone. Little Nian Nian must have posted this.¡±
Straight to the point and not unreasonable, and it drew countless ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯. An innocent newbie naively asked the thread owner why hemented on Pei Zhen being toozy to even type a full-stop, not to mention post aplete sentence in Weibo.
Xiao Nian was speechless.
Oh well.
If he had known he wouldn¡¯t have bothered with all that typing.
It was a darn difficult job to protect his artiste¡¯s image.
Ever since the Weibo ount application, except for the short time that he was still fresh in the entertainment industry, Pei Zhen had to be threatened before he would even lift a finger to post anything online.
Every time that came to mind, Xiao Nian felt like tearing his hair out and crying. But what could he do, he was good enough to demand unlimited tolerance.
It didn¡¯t take too long before the mini-van arrived at its destination.
It was a very short nap for Pei Zhen, and he was yawning as he joined the crew.
¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry. Get him changed and do his make up.¡± The photographer was no stranger to working with Pei Zhen and knew Pei Zhen¡¯s style. He hurried the assistants into action. He adjusted his lens focus and all, waiting for Pei Zhen to appear before the camera.
¡°Oh.¡± The photographer suddenly remembered something after setting up the lights. ¡°Another person ising for the shoot, did you know about that?¡±
Pei Zhen was surprised. ¡°Who?¡±
¡°Fu Sichen¡ªBest Actor Fu.¡±

Fu Sichen?
Ever since waking from hisa, the first meeting between Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen was theirst meeting.
Upon hearing his name, Pei Zhen¡¯s pupils constricted momentarily, and his heart skipped a beat. But he recovered quickly and calmly said, ¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± While Pei Zhen didn¡¯t react in a big way, it was Xiao Nian who took up the position that Pei Zhen would typically have in the past. He¡¯d objected without even thinking. ¡°Why do we have to share the shoot with someone? Besides, it¡¯s Fu Sichen. Our Pei Zhen will not do the shoot with that Fu guy!¡±
¡°Oh?¡± A voice came from behind. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°Why? The reason is simple. Of course, it¡¯s because our Pei Zhen doesn¡¯t like Fu¡¡± Before Xiao Nian could utter Fu Sichen¡¯s full name, he froze with his mouth wide open. Stunned, he slowly turned around.
Fu Sichen¡ªjust the person they were discussing. He was standing there looking at them with an icy half-smile and his hands in his pockets. Especially when he heard the words ¡®doesn¡¯t like¡¯, his gaze turned bitingly cold.
¡°F-Fu¡¡± Xiao Nian was a true expert at reading situations, and in a sh changed his tune. If he had a silk hanky he¡¯d fit perfectly into the role of a mama-san¡ªhis smile and eagerness to please were exactly like a pimp¡¯s. ¡°Best Actor Fu, oh, what a coincidence. You are our Pei Pei¡¯s absolute favorite.¡±
Pei Zhen was bbergasted, an innocent victim of Xiao Nian¡¯s ridiculous act.
Pei Zhen gave Fu Sichen an indifferent look before quickly looking away without a word, letting the makeup artist do her job.
He didn¡¯t agree to the joint shoot, but neither did he reject the idea.
Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze lingered on Pei Zhen. Unlike the usual coldness, it was oozing with warmth and gentleness. Even Wang Youquan couldn¡¯t bear it and had to break the intensity by coughing deliberately.
¡°Cough, cough, we¡¯ll have to trouble the makeup artist for Sichen¡¯s makeup.¡±
The moment he said that, two other makeup artists in the room immediately responded, ¡°I¡¯ll do it, I¡¯ll do it!¡±
Others took Pei Zhen already, and if they lost Fu Sichen, they¡¯d regret it for their entire lives. The two makeup artists got into an argument over who should do Fu Sichen¡¯s makeup and couldn¡¯t arrive at an agreement. Fu Sichen casually said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll just do it myself.¡±
¡°What?¡± Everyone was stumped.
The makeup artists covered their cheeks with their hands. ¡°Best Actor Fu, please don¡¯t be angry. I¡ We¡¡±
They wanted to say that they would stop arguing and make it a fair fight instead. However, Fu Sichen gave a casual ¡®Oh¡¯ and went on to make a remark that targeted nobody in particr. ¡°I¡¯m very devoted, from now on my face will not be touched by anyone else.¡±
Puzzled silence.
Not even letting the makeup artist touch him? So who could touch him?
Those who didn¡¯t know any better looked at each other in dismay; those who knew, namely Pei Zhen, nearly choked on his water and started coughing.
¡°Ah.¡± The coughing was a little violent, and the makeup artist¡¯s hand slipped, causing the makeup brush to slide across Pei Zhen¡¯s face mercilessly. She panicked and apologized profusely. ¡°So sorry¡ I¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡ it¡¯s okay.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s face turned red, but, who knew if it was from the coughing? Even the ck streak across his face didn¡¯t make him look any less dashing. ¡°It was my fault.¡±
Pei Zhen recalled the scene when he first woke from hisa.
The moment he opened his eyes, he found them looking into Fu Sichen¡¯s.
During the moment that their eyes met, time stood still. In that silence, emotions bubbled and rose.
Pei Zhen felt his throat tighten when he saw Fu Sichen¡¯s red eyes. ¡°You¡¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s voice was hoarse, but that was all he needed to say to rob Fu Sichen of all his sanity. Fu Sichen leaned forward to embrace him.
The weight of Fu Sichen bore down on him as Fu Sichen tightened his embrace. His lips brushed lightly against Pei Zhen¡¯s cheeks and rested next to his ears, setting Pei Zhen aze.

It was freaking crazy.
Recalling the scene at the hospital made Pei Zhen¡¯s cough worse somehow.
¡°Cough, cough¡ I-I¡¯m¡ sorry, I need the bathroom.¡±
The resentful Daddy Pei seemed eager to get away, and Xiao Nian was a little startled. He had wanted to call out to Pei Zhen but Best Actor Fu was already nning to follow behind him.
¡°Oh, I need to go too.¡±
Everyone¡¯s attention was on the curious scene.
The coincidence felt a little odd.
Pei Zhen washed his face.
The man in the mirror was considerably good-looking, and he had long-ish peach blossom eyes. Water droplets were rolling from the tips of his hair onto his cheeks, following the downward slope of his jawline, and then plunging back onto the sink counter.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± A pleasant male voice sounded, his reflection could be seen in the mirror, growing as he approached. His lips turned upwards in a smile. ¡°Your face is flushed¡ shy?¡±
With a swoosh, Pei Zhen turned his head and found himself looking straight into Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes. Ignoring Fu Sichen¡¯s remark, Pei Zhen asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
¡°Emptying my bowels in yourpany.¡± Fu Sichenughed.
¡°You¡¡± Pei Zhen almost choked, and he impatiently rolled his eyes. ¡°Oh. Do you need me to help hold you while you pee?¡±
Having spent time with Fu Sichen in recent days, Pei Zhen had learned that his Buddy Fu could be quite shameless.
However, no matter how shameless Buddy Fu was, a limit applied. Hence Pei Zhen had no idea what sort of reaction his flirting remark might get.
Indeed, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t respond, but looked deeply into Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes and walked towards the urinal.
Pei Zhen made a disapproving sound. He dried his face and was about to walk out when suddenly, Fu Sichen spoke, ¡°Pei Zhen.¡±
¡°What can Daddy do for you.¡± Pei Zhen shot back immediately.
¡°Help hold it.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°That¡¯s what you said, that you were going to help hold me while I pee.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes bore into Pei Zhen, his voice smoldering and hoarse, making Pei Zhen¡¯s heart go wild.
¡°You, you¡¡± His eyes followed Fu Sichen¡¯s hand, which was reaching for his trouser zip. Pei Zhen felt a sudden gush of hot blood rushing up his body. ¡°Hey! I was only joking!¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Fu Sichen broke into a natural smile. ¡°I¡¯m only kidding too.¡±
Pei Zhen turned even redder.
Having said that, Fu Sichen zipped up, the sound sending an electric current through Pei Zhen. His heart skipped another beat as the tips of his ears turned beet red.
¡°Cough, cough. I¡ I¡¯m leaving.¡± Initially, he had wanted to ask about the Persian cat. However, after nearly seeing Fu Sichen¡¯s exposed manhood, for unknown reasons, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to look in that direction.
It wasn¡¯t as if he had never seen Fu Sichen¡¯s nudity. They were both men, and sharing the same toilet, they would run into each other many times.
In the past when Fu Sichen was his sworn enemy, not only did it not matter seeing Fu Sichen fully exposed¡ªeven if they had been exposing themselves at the same time, it was nothing to think about.
But at that moment, he¡¯d turn red, and his body temperature would rise as if he was drunk. Seeing the length of Fu Sichen¡¯s manhood from the corner of his eye made him feel oddly panicky.
That was the end of him.
So who would be on top and who would be underneath in the future?
Pei Zhen automatically took a downward nce at himself. At once, he felt like pping himself.
Crap!
Was he freaking possessed? What was he even thinking?!
¡°Pei Pei?¡±
Outside the studio, Xiao Nian saw his Daddy Pei looking guilty like a student who had misbehaved, facing the wall and pondering a painful experience. ¡°Are you using your phantom manhood to empty your dder?¡±
Pei Zhen snapped back to reality and gave Xiao Nian a look of disgust. He wiped his face and said, ¡°I¡¯m getting into my role.¡±
Xiao Nian gave him an ambiguous wink. ¡°Oh? Trying to calm your emotions where Fu Sichen is concerned?¡±
¡°Scram.¡±

Whenever a magazine cover featured two people, especially if it was two men, they desired a special distinction between the two people.
For example, if one of them looked arrogant and reserved; the other would be warm and mild.
Xiao Nian objected when Pei Zhen sneered at him earlier on. ¡°¡ Did you really think Fu Sichen would take on the weaker role?¡±
Pei Zhen kept quiet.
Oh. They were talking about the cover shoot.
He was just taking a flight of fantasy, focusing his thoughts on other things.
¡°Of course he¡¯d take the weaker role.¡± Daddy Pei was full of himself and had obviously given it thought. ¡°I¡¯m too aggressive.¡±
Having experienced Fu Sichen¡¯s cruelty and being forced into a new universe, Pei Zhen had learned a thing or two about gay love. At least, he knew that there was a more manly, or aggressive party.
He was so dashing, so there was no way he¡¯d be the submissive party.
Xiao Nian mercilessly retorted, ¡°Daddy, you¡¯re indeed aggressive. But,pared to Fu Sichen¡¡±
¡°Compared to you?¡± The subject matter had returned from the toilet break. He looked at Xiao Nian coldly. ¡°Mr. Xiao, are you conspiring against your own artiste?¡±
¡°N-no, not at all,¡± stammered Mr. Xiao.
He wanted to scream to vent his frustration. Only, under Fu Sichen¡¯s re, Xiao Nian only managed to break out in cold sweat and not speak unnecessarily. He then quickly escaped to the toilet.
Having sent away themp post, Fu Sichen felt a lot better. ¡°Pei Zhen¡¡±
Pei Zhen turned and walked away, leaving Fu Sichen with a view of the back of his head.
¡°Tsk.¡± Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t angry, but rather looked at Pei Zhen¡¯s back view with tenderness. ¡°Empty words. Obviously, you like me.¡±
Whether The Back View heard it was anybody¡¯s guess, but it suddenly tripped¡ªThe Back View did not fall, only, the tips of its ears turned bright red.
The shoot started immediately once the makeup for Best Actor and Best Actor-to-be waspleted.
Everything progressed quite smoothly.
Only, the positioning and presentation kept having problems.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡± As long-time coborators, Pei Zhen and the photographer knew each other well. The photographer nced through the lens and appeared perplexed. ¡°You will need to appear less imposing.¡±
For unknown reasons, Pei Zhen had an aura of strong aggression, much like a gangster on a mission to extort money. His strong presence easily equaled that of Fu Sichen¡¯s.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with it.¡± Pei Zhen snorted and gave a sideways nce at Fu Sichen, his tone unrelenting. ¡°I¡¯m no weaker than anyone else.¡±
That ced the photographer in a difficult position. ¡°But¡¡± The equally matched auras skewed the chemistry and bnce of the picture and defied photography principles.
¡°Small matter.¡± Fu Sichen suddenly smiled, and volunteered to take a step back. ¡°I¡¯ll keep myself in check.¡±
Wouldn¡¯t that mean letting Pei Zhen take the limelight?
The photographer thought for a bit and didn¡¯t object. Wang Youquan, who was standing on the side, couldn¡¯t bear to watch it, especially when Xiao Nian had gone as far as to apologize to him.
¡°Sorry, sorry, our Pei Pei is indeed keen to take dominance.¡±
Wang Youquan waved his hand. ¡°No, No, I should be the one apologizing on behalf of Best Actor Fu. He¡¯s alright in most ways, but he has a bit of hidden agenda.¡±
He was putting up an outward show of being big-hearted to feel good about himself. But the trap had beenid and was waiting for Pei Zhen to fall into it.
¡°What?¡± Xiao Nian didn¡¯t quite understand.
Wang Youquan felt a little guilty. ¡°Cough, cough, nothing. Don¡¯t worry, on our end Pei Zhen has been forgiven.¡±
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t figure out what it was exactly, but he felt Wang Youquan had just said something of significant consequence.
Not making any headway, he hesitated as he turned his eyes towards the photography studio.
Sharing the same frame, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t go shoulder-to-shoulder with Pei Zhen. Instead, he took a step back and ced his hand on Pei Zhen¡¯s waist. It looked like¡ an embrace.
¡°Very slim waist.¡±

Very slim waist.
And a pert butt.
It resembled gtin dessert, sweet and inviting.
Fu Sichen, who was standing behind Pei Zhen, didn¡¯t verbalize all of that. When he ced his hand on Pei Zhen¡¯s waist, thetter had immediately turned around to re at him.
It was natural for Fu Sichen to lean forward slightly when he embraced someone. As Pei Zhen turned around, it closed the physical distance between them even further.
Gentle, soft and dry lips were brushing against his face¡ªvery lightly, very subtly, barely-there.
But Fu Sichen felt as though his heart was set on fire, burning him and parching his mouth and tongue, arousing and waking him inside.
¡°Good.¡± The photographer thought that they were just getting into their poses, and worked quickly. With every press of the shutter button, the ¡®click¡¯ froze moments between the two.
The international fashion magazine broke sales record; thetest issue of the magazinepletely sold out.
But of course.
When two hot celebrities like Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen coborated, how would sales not shoot through the roof? More importantly, the two of them, widely-rumored to be loggerheads, not only seemed to have crushed any such rumors, but the ambiguous chemistry between them stirred the imagination of everyone.
¡°Have you seen thetest copy of the international fashion magazine?!¡±
¡°I know! The key thing is the cover! Ahhhhh I¡¯m going to pass out, they¡¯re so dashing!¡±
¡°Am I the only one who didn¡¯t manage to buy a copy? I saw the copy my friend bought. My god, I¡¯m so envious!¡±
¡°Recall thetest issue of the international fashion magazine at a high price! My hubbies are too handsome, I¡¯m still not able to close my legs¡. Cry.¡±
¡°Be more civilized, let¡¯s not pleasure ourselves¡ wanted! Asking for submission of Fu Sichen X Pei Zhen gay novel! Feel like having sweets, and even more like having meat!¡±
Once the couple fans started, they wouldn¡¯t stop. They remarked that Daddy Pei finally found his match, someone who could manage him. The cover picture was a perfect show of Pei Zhen¡¯s submissive position in the rtionship.
¡°Utter rubbish!¡± Pei Zhen was infuriated and tossed a copy of the magazine that was in his hand. ¡°Fu Sichen must have bribed the photographer!¡±
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t get his head around it. Fu Sichen was obviously behind him, so how did the picture turn out looking like Pei Zhen was the weaker of them?
¡°Don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Xiao Nian quickly picked up the magazine sent by the publisher, looking regretful, he said, ¡°Daddy, you know how much money this magazine can fetch in the gay circle at the moment? If you damage the cover, that¡¯s money gone.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
¡°Now I know, you only care about money and don¡¯t give a damn about me!¡± Pei Zhen replied.
Were his grievance and agony not obvious enough that his own manager could so easily ept that he was the weaker party?!
¡°Not really.¡± Xiao Nian blinked. ¡°I also care about my wife.¡±
¡°Huh!¡± Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t find the words to express his disgust.
Not able to get through to or confide in his manager, Pei Zhen logged into Weibo. Couple talk was everywhere. Pei Zhen was emotionally exhausted and closed his eyes, once again falling asleep.
They were in the mini-van.
The luxury mini-van was heading towards the most famous hotel in Dong Hai City. A new crew was holding a banquet to mark the start of their filming and, being the male lead, Pei Zhen was obligated to attend the event.
¡°Daddy, at least show your face. Have a drink or two then you can leave.¡±
That was what Xiao Nian said initially. Those words were used to educate the naturallyzy Pei Zhen who didn¡¯t fancy social interactions.
The car was traveling smoothly. As Pei Zhen had rushed many assignments in recent days, he was tired and could fall asleep by just sitting down. By the time they arrived at the hotel, Pei Zhen was in a deep sleep, and Xiao Nian didn¡¯t dare wake him up.
He was well aware of how sullen Pei Zhen could get when woken from his sleep.
But the banquet was starting, and it would be unbing if they went inte.
Knock knock.
Just as Xiao Nian was feeling stuck not knowing what to do next, someone knocked on the car window. It was Fu Sichen, standing outside, next to the car.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Or more to the point, what was wrong with Pei Zhen?¡±

Pei Zhen was indeed in a deep sleep, but he wasn¡¯t free from anxiety.
The mini-van seat, even when fully t, was nowhere near asfortable as a bed. And because of that, when Pei Zhen felt the presence of a warm embrace, he unconsciously cuddled up.
Gradually, the tension in his brows rxed and his fingers curled around tightly, but when he tried to turn, he found himself against a barrier.
He wasn¡¯t able to move.
Pei Zhen was talking in his dream, and it was quite mncholic. He recalled a variety show long ago where the conditions were tough, and the director wanted them to sleep in sleeping bags. It was awful.
And at that moment¡?
Pei Zhen slowly opened his eyes and found himself staring right into Fu Sichen¡¯s deep dark eyes¡ªthe abyss¡ªanyone who looked would sink deep into it.
¡°And so, to preserve your own worthless life, you betrayed your Daddy?¡±
They were at the banquet.
The sound ofughter drifted from the banquet venue, the peopleing in and out were all decked up in finery. Amidst the wine and gambling chips, there was chattering and giggling.
Pei Zhen had just woken up and was in a rather foul mood. At that point, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t even dare suggest that he should mingle and socialize.
They stood behind a clump of green potted nts, and Pei Zhen had his hands in his pockets. He examined Xiao Nian in a haughty manner, with a certain coldness in his expression.
¡°I¡ I¡¡± Xiao Nian was too guilty to try to find himself an excuse. He covered his face and yed victim. ¡°I¡¯m scum with sub-zero fighting power. I can¡¯t stand up to the stinker!¡±
Pei Zhen fumed.
The moment he opened his eyes he found himself locked in a princess-hug by another man. Under those circumstances, Pei Zhen would have owed his pride an exnation if he didn¡¯t get angry about it.
They were at an event, and there were people around!
Even though the event was not a publicized one, if Fu Sichen could identify his mini-van, then there was no reason why the paparazzi couldn¡¯t.
They were in treacherous waters, and he had chosen such a time to do a princess-hug? Was Fu Sichen too eager for the world to know that they had something going on between them?
And more to the point, Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t even indicated interest of any sort.
¡°Daddy, I was wrong. Daddy¡¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s non-stop bawling irritated Pei Zhen and Pei Zhen was tempted to wave him off. But Fu Sichen appeared out of nowhere.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± The sharp-looker held a cup in his hand. The gentle expression lit up his face and made him even more attractive. ¡°Still tired?¡±
That reminded Pei Zhen of the princess hug again!
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart skipped a little, but he didn¡¯t let that show on his face. Without replying, he picked up his wine ss to take a drink.
¡°Don¡¯t drink wine.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were sharp, and his hands were very quick. He took the wine ss out of Pei Zhen¡¯s hand, exchanged it for the cup in his own, and thrust it before Pei Zhen. ¡°Have some milk, it¡¯s warm.¡±
Pei Zhen was surprised.
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯d take advantage of you if you got yourself drunk?¡± An intoxicated Pei Zhen was better behaved than his normal self; with zed-over peach blossom eyes, he was incredibly tempting.
Fu Sichen would love to see that side of him but, at the same time, didn¡¯t want to share a drunk Pei Zhen with anyone else. Hence he had asked the hotel waiter for a cup of warm milk.
Pei Zhen wrinkled his nose, unable to hide his disgust. But his body betrayed him as he reached out for the cup.
With Fu Sichen¡¯s appearance, Xiao Nian had tactfully made himself scarce. Without the gooseberry around, Best Actor Fu was entirely in his element and started to tease Pei Zhen.
As Pei Zhen reached out for the milk, Fu Sichen nted his lips on the rim of the cup. ¡°Hang on. I¡¯ll make sure it¡¯s not too hot.¡±
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t worried about the temperature of the milk. Afraid that Pei Zhen might reject a kiss, he left his mark all around the rim of the cup.
Pei Zhen turned red.
¡°Excuse me. Need the toilet.¡± Pei Zhen mumbled.
¡°Oh, how coincidental.¡± Fu Sichen readily said, ¡°I need to go too.¡±

When it came to Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen had no shame.
There was no limit to his shamelessness.
Pei Zhen walked towards the restroom with Fu Sichen following close behind. Thetter¡¯s insistence made Pei Zhen roll his eyes.
¡°You find it meaningful following me like this?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fu Sichen blinked, turning his lips up into a slight smile. ¡°No matter what Pei Pei does I¡¯d find it adorable.¡±
Pei Zhen, who needed to empty his dder, was speechless. Was there something wrong with Fu Sichen?!
Not able to ignore Fu Sichen any further, Pei Zhen pivoted around to change his direction. However, Fu Sichen blocked him and pushed him into the restroom.
¡°Controlling your dder is not good for your health, or are you waiting for me to help hold you as you pee?¡±
It appeared that Fu Sichen had a special interest in the topic. Before Pei Zhen could say anything more, Best Actor Fu¡¯s gaze on Pei Zhen was easing downwards.
Trouble was brewing.
¡°Hey!¡± Even the normally haughty and arrogant Pei Zhen was embarrassed. He felt his face heating up. ¡°Perverse,¡± he muttered as he turned around and stretched out his hands.
¡°We¡¯re both men. I have whatever you have.¡± Fu Sichen reminded Pei Zhen of the recent past. ¡°When you were in aa, I was the one who bathed you.¡±
Indeed.
That, Pei Zhen¡ªthe cat with the human soul¡ªsaw it clearly with his own eyes.
Having it brought up, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t decide if he should be aggrieved or ashamed. He stammered and stomped into the toilet helplessly.
¡°Fine! Look if you want!¡±
Fu Sichen was right. Since they were both men, if he were to make a fuss, it would seem as if something was wrong.
Pei Zhen felt that he had nothing to hide.
Just as he reached down for his zipper, he heard footstepsing from outside. At the same time, there was an ambiguous exchange of words.
¡°No, let¡¯s not do it here.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, they¡¯re all in the banquet hall, no one¡¯s here.¡±
Before Pei Zhen realized what the two men were talking about, Fu Sichen shoved him into the corner stall.
Fu Sichen moved incredibly quickly¡ªa push, shutting of the door, securing of the lock, all in under a breath.
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know how he did it¡ªhow he moved so quickly and silently.
Fu Sichen cupped his hand over Pei Zhen¡¯s mouth, and thetter tried to retaliate and twisted his body. However, the grip on him from behind tightened.
¡°Shhhh¡¡±
The throbbing heat spread¡ªPei Zhen¡¯s back was pressed up against Fu Sichen¡¯s chest. There was a burning sensation where their bodies were in contact, causing a numbing sensation.
That was too close.
If it were someone else, whether Xiao Nian or whoever, they would never cause Pei Zhen to react that way¡ªit was only when it came to Fu Sichen that his heart would move as though it was a life force brought on by the tenderness of the Spring breeze.
The couple approaching the restroom entered.
There was some shuffling and fumbling before the two made their way into the next stall. The sound of them kissing grew louder and more ambiguous, then came the heaving and soft low moaning.
Pei Zhen was at a loss for words.
A notion surfaced in his mind, and Pei Zhen turned around to look at Fu Sichen, his eyes questioning what he suspected.
¡°Yes, it¡¯s what you¡¯re thinking.¡±
Fu Sichen was barely audible, his whisper was hoarse, and there was a certain sexual appeal about it. The good looking man turned his lips slightly upwards into a dazzling smile. ¡°Two men, isn¡¯t it provocative?¡±
Pei Zhen wanted to protest the idea, but before he could even speak, Fu Sichen lowered his head, his cheek brushing against Pei Zhen¡¯s. ¡°Pei Pei, you¡¯re blushing.¡±
By that point, all words had escaped Pei Zhen.
Chapter 142 - And Now I’m Not Even Allowed to Have a Reaction?

Insanity. The area his cheek had brushed against Fu Sichen¡¯s was burning like an electrical current had passed through it.
Pei Zhen felt like he was about to explode.
Erupting in humiliation, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t care less if the couple in the next stall were really going at full throttle. He raised his elbow and jabbed it into Fu Sichen¡¯s chest.
It caught Fu Sichen by surprise.
He fell back a step. If he hadn¡¯t steadied himself in time, he would have crashed against the door. ¡°Pei¡¡±
¡°Get out of my way.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s face reddened again, although he hadn¡¯t lost a single bit of his dignity. ¡°I¡¯m getting out of here.¡±
Immediately, Fu Sichen¡¯s one hand came down over his mouth to silence him, while his other hand wrapped around Pei Zhen¡¯s waist, forcing Pei Zhen backward.
With a soft thud, Pei Zhen was forced to sit on the toilet bowl.
Both ashamed and angered, Pei Zhen widened his peach blossom eyes and red at Fu Sichen.
¡°Be quiet.¡± There was almost no distance between them. Even with Fu Sichen¡¯s hand over his mouth, he could still feel the man¡¯s breath on his face. ¡°Are you hoping for people to discover that Best Actor Fu and the Number Two man were found together in a toilet stall?¡±
Their image and social statuses were at stake.
Even if nothing had happened between them, one could imagine that the media would cook up scandalous news.
Pei Zhen had to admit that point.
He could only use his peach blossom eyes to signal to Fu Sichen that he understood and that Fu Sichen could remove his hand.
Fu Sichen could feel Pei Zhen¡¯s lips against his palm. He was very reluctant to remove his hand.
¡°Mmmpf.¡± Pei Zhen was getting angry and protested with his peach blossom eyes.
His face was flushed, his eyes were misty, and his lips soft. Fu Sichen felt a raging fire within himself, and his throat was parched.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡± He couldn¡¯t help taking a step closer. The intensity of the situation was growing. ¡°Can I kiss you?¡±
The request shocked Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen almost flew off the handle. He lifted his hand and was about to push Fu Sichen, but Fu Sichen was prepared and stepped backward, and at the same time grabbed Pei Zhen¡¯s hand.
¡°No?¡± His voice was full of disappointment. But the next moment, he was smiling. ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t.¡±
He let Pei Zhen¡¯s hand go and stepped back to lean against the door. His expression was exceptionally tender. Then he lightly squeezed his own fingers.
Those fingers that had brushed against Pei Zhen¡¯s lips¡
Pei Zhen nced at Fu Sichen, and his heart skipped a beat as he felt his face flush again. Seeing that Fu Sichen was about to look in his direction, he nervously looked down.
Fu Sichen was standing, and so was he.
As his gazed dropped, he couldn¡¯t help but notice the crotch of Fu Sichen¡¯s trousers.
It was¡
¡°You¡¡± Pei Zhen froze, his heart suddenly welled up with all sorts of emotions. He looked up again and found himself staring right into Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes.
Those eyes were deeper than ever, like the expanse of the oceans and its raging waves. They hid feelings that one could only guess at.
¡°You wouldn¡¯t allow me to kiss you, and now I¡¯m not even allowed to react?¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know what to say.
Not wishing to be the reason for Fu Sichen¡¯s reaction, Pei Zhen mumbled and pretended to be sarcastic, ¡°Indeed the Beat Actor¡ªeven listening to others would get you¡¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s because of you.¡± Fu Sichen looked steadily at Pei Zhen. His gaze was unflinching but gentle. ¡°It¡¯s only you.¡±
Pei Zhen was caught off-guard.
Xiao Nian had been hunting high and low in the banquet hall when he finally spotted his artiste, and he was on the verge of tears.
¡°Daddy, have you been cking off again?¡± When Fu Sichen appeared earlier, Xiao Nian hadn¡¯t dared to hang around. He was trying to expand hiswork even when he wasn¡¯t doing anything. ¡°Champion Screenwriter, it appears he presently has a script for a television show¡ Daddy, your face¡ªwhy is it so flushed? Do you have a fever?

Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen entered the banquet hall one after the other.
Pei Zhen¡¯s face was flushed, as was Fu Sichen¡¯s.
After Xiao Nian had interrogated his artiste, his gaze fell on Fu Sichen, and he was simrly surprised. ¡°Best Actor Fu, do you have a fever too?¡±
¡°Huh.¡± Pei Zhen was not in the best of moods and snorted coldly. ¡°What fever do you suppose he has?¡± Horny fever, more like.
Earlier on in the toilet stall, the neighboring pair was a bit much. They didn¡¯t even try to control their volume.
Even if he had been forced to understand the gay universe, the movies that he had watched only helped so much. There were kisses and hugs but nothing more than that.
Having heard live action for the first time, although Pei Zhen maintained a nonchnt expression, he had turned red from his shoulders to the tips of his ears. On top of that, he had been stuck in a narrow space with Fu Sichen.
It was physically obvious that Fu Sichen was highly-aroused but had to control himself¡ªthat must have been tough.
Fearing that he would scare Pei Zhen, Best Actor Fu turned around so that he was facing the wall. ¡°I¡¯ll be fine in a bit.¡±
In a bit?
How would a real man calm down in just a bit?
The couple in the other cubicle had finished up, but Best Actor Fu was still facing the wall and hadn¡¯tpletely calmed down. He didn¡¯t want to turn around, and Pei Zhen was stuck not knowing what to do. It was awkward, to say the least.
¡°You¡¯re really not running a fever?¡± Xiao Nian was worried, and his nagging made him seem very motherly. ¡°The weather has been undergoing seasonal change, and many people are sick. Pei Pei, you¡¯d better not infect Best Actor Fu.¡±
Pei Zhen glowered.
¡°Whose side are you on, do you know what you¡¯re saying? I went to the gym yesterday. If anyone were to infect anyone, it would be Fu Sichen infecting me!¡± Pei Zhen said.
Xiao Nian had a troubled expression on his face and didn¡¯t quite know how to break the news to Pei Zhen. ¡°Daddy, going to the gym to sleep doesn¡¯t count as exercise.¡±
He caught Pei Zhen off-guard.
Exercising.
Indeed, the Little Brat Pei hated exercising from the time he was young, apart from Physical Education, he had excellent scores in all his academic subjects.
Fu Sichen lowered his head to hide his smile, but he didn¡¯t attempt to hide it when Pei Zhen cast a sidelong nce at him. ¡°Pei Zhen, you are fine as you are.¡±
No matter what, Pei Zhen was perfect in his eyes.
Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze was gentle, and Xiao Nian had a strange realization, bing startled when he observed it. He looked at his artiste again and was surprised to see that, for the first time, Pei Zhen was blushing.
No, no, no¡ªhis face was already red.
Xiao Nian was emotionally exhausted from the denial that his star artiste was not gay and was straight as amp post.
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Pei Zhen was flushed and tried to avoid eye contact. He was insistent on changing the topic. ¡°Xiao Nian, what Screenwriter were you talking about just now?¡±
¡°Oh, yes, yes.¡± Xiao Nian pulled himself together, quickly suppressing the sense of uncertainty in his heart. ¡°She wonst year¡¯s Best Screenwriter award¡ªshe has a script on-hand, the theme is Man and Nature.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Compared to the past, the current Pei Zhen seemed proactive. ¡°Then you should introduce us.¡±
Hecked the courage to be around Fu Sichen any longer.
Pei Zhen left in a hurry, to Xiao Nian¡¯s surprise. Xiao Nian nced at Fu Sichen, and for some strange reason felt overwhelmingly grateful towards the man. ¡°Thank you, Best Actor Fu, indeed people are influenced by thepany they keep. Please continue to be a good influence on Pei Zhen.¡±
Fu Sichen smiled curtly. ¡°Sure.¡±
He understood one would be influenced by whom one hung out with, gay people inclusive. He was determined to influence Pei Zhen.
Under Xiao Nian¡¯s lead, Pei Zhen made his rounds and did the necessary niceties. He wasn¡¯t good at holding alcohol, and after two rounds, he started to feel light-headed.
¡°Hold out for a bit more, Pei Zhen. We¡¯ll just introduce you to thest screenwriter, and then we¡¯ll head home.¡±
Pei Zhen was getting impatient. ¡°Who?¡±
Xiao Nian flipped through the name list prepared by the assistant and started reading out the names.
¡°Fu. Si. Chen.¡±

Good grief.
Xiao Nian rubbed his eyes and looked at the name list again¡ªit was still there¡ªthe name ¡®Fu Sichen¡¯.
If one tried asking around, one would find that there was only one Fu Sichen in the entertainment circle, and that was the Best Actor; there was no other.
There had been rumors that there was an additional person who joined the production team, but Xiao Nian hadn¡¯t taken any special notice. He automatically assumed that with Pei Zhen¡¯s position in the industry, any film producer would at least give him the face.
Only¡
¡°Who?¡± Pei Zhen felt the red wine churn in his stomach. ¡°F-Fu Sichen?¡±
¡°Did you just mention my name?¡± Fu Sichen appeared just as Pei Zhen said those words. As always, there was a smile on his face when he saw Pei Zhen. ¡°Hello, Pei Zhen, how do you do? I¡¯m one of the producers for this film.¡±
Fu Sichen stretched out his hand in a gesture of generosity. His hand wasrge with long, slim fingers and prominent joints; his nails were neatly trimmed and exceptionally elegant-looking.
But Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t be bothered to look. He turned and started to walk away.
He did wonder why Fu Sichen was at the event. So he hade on board as one of the producers. Would that mean he¡¯d make an appearance every day during filming?
Pei Zhen got a splitting headache just contemting that thought.
¡°Pei Zhen.¡±
With his love interest leaving, the event held no attraction for Fu Sichen, no matter how luxurious. He caught up to Pei Zhen withrge strides. A female figure appeared from the side; she was flushed and shy like a delicate flower. ¡°Best Actor Fu, I¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not serving alcohol, go get it yourself.¡±
Thedy who was trying to hook up with him stared in bewilderment.
She didn¡¯t even have the chance to exin that she wasn¡¯t expecting him to serve her alcohol. In the blink of an eye, he vanished, leaving no trace behind.
If the producer was Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t interested in entertaining him.
Pei Zhen walked out of the event venue and got into his car. Just as he was about to shut the car door, Fu Sichen grabbed the door and held it open. Great.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡± Fu Sichen was trying to catch his breath. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Doing as he wished was very much in line with Pei Zhen¡¯s personality, but it was different from his arrogance during peacetime. Fu Sichen was worried that Pei Zhen would start to avoid him.
¡°What?¡± Pei Zhen had long limbs, and in the car seat he seemed all cramped up. After a few drinks, his eyes were blurry. He cast a sidelong nce at Fu Sichen. ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong.¡±
His fringe hung down and covered his eyes. Drowsy and rxed, he seemed both agreeable and weak.
Immediately, Fu Sichen¡¯s heart melted, and his tone softened. ¡°You don¡¯t like that I¡¯m the producer?¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t reply but looked at him briefly before looking down again. His gaze fell onto Fu Sichen¡¯s pair of big hands.
¡°The Persian cat¡ what happened to it?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The cat.¡± The thought had been troubling Pei Zhen for days. Although it appeared as though he didn¡¯t care, in reality, he was very concerned. ¡°What happened to him after I woke up?¡±
After all the coaxing, it finally turned out that Pei Zhen was worried about the cat. Fu Sichen didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry; he could only feel overwhelming jealousy.
¡°It¡¯s doing well, eating and drinking like normal. But why haven¡¯t you shown any concern over me? On the day you woke up, I was drugged.¡±
¡°The drug that Lin Yousu used for her evil scheme worked, one mouthful of it and I felt its effect.¡±
Initially, Fu Sichen was worried about Pei Zhen and didn¡¯t notice any physical difference. However, he realized it when Pei Zhen awoke.
His whole body was on fire, and he almost lost his ability to reason. The person he loved was right before him, but he didn¡¯t dare to touch him.
He couldn¡¯t bear to upset Pei Zhen even a little.
Pei Zhen recalled the day in the hospital and the look in Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes when he awoke. With an expression of realization, he asked, ¡°How did¡ how did you manage it?¡±
Fu Sichen smiled. With one hand on the car seat, he bent over and whispered in Pei Zhen¡¯s ears, ¡°I managed it while thinking of you.¡±
You are in my heart, my soul, my head¡

Shortly after the incident of the fashion magazine cover, Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen wowed fans with sensational and juicy news again.
Sketchy photos of what appeared to be a kiss circted like wildfire on social media. The angle of the photo and positions of the subjects were ambiguous. There was no way to deny a gay rtionship.
A group of female fans started to shriek.
¡°That¡¯s the end, that¡¯s the end, my hubby has a boyfriend.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the end, that¡¯s the end, I love my hubby and have to love his boyfriend.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the end, that¡¯s the end, not only am I not angry, in fact, I find them yummy.¡±
Compared to scandals in the past, the paparazzi would never have guessed that the fans would be so united. When the evil fans so much as suggested that Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen were creating hype, their female fans immediately jumped to their defense and tore those evil fans apart.
What could you do?
That was the sheer fighting power of their fans.
But the most critical point was that the fans didn¡¯t believe that the Best Actor and Best Actor candidate would get into that sort of rtionship.
It was just shooting themselves in their own feet.
The celebrities weren¡¯t stupid, and neither were the agencies. If they hyped up the couple news, it was a possible strategy to gain poprity.
The fans were happy, and posted messages to their own idols, hoping to see more activities and promoting them as a couple¡ªespecially Pei Zhen¡¯s rich housewife fans, who joked that their idol should watch his waistline.
Pei Zhen was furious!
¡°That¡¯s not bad.¡± Xiao Nian was quite pleased to see the buzz and active conversations online. ¡°Indeed Best Actor Fu¡ªit¡¯s great. His poprity automatically draws attention.¡±
Pei Zhen snorted and said, ¡°What do you know?¡±
If only you knew that Fu Sichen was eyeing your artiste¡¯s chastity. Let¡¯s see if you¡¯d remain this calm.
¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I know?¡± Xiao Nian picked up his mobile phone and gracefully rolled his eyes. ¡°Daddy, no matter what I¡¯m a champion manager, of course I know how to seize opportunities when I see them. Hold on¡ Hello, Youquan, how do you do?¡±
Xiao Nian walked out of the resting room once the call was connected, and went on to discuss the uing ns animatedly.
¡°Coborate with Sichen? Hype up the couple news?¡± Wang Youquan was beginning to get a headache and nced at his artiste. When their eyes met, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He turned and walked out of the room. ¡°You must be joking, Xiao Nian, what are you even thinking? Men¡ªboth of them are men¡ it¡¯s not that I have an immoral philosophy¡¡±
There was no way he could make a statement that his own artiste was interested in the rear end of Xiao Nian¡¯s artiste.
Wang Youquan was utterly devastated and desperately searched within himself for a reason to reject the proposal. He even thought of the excuse that it was a negative influence on the ¡®progress and propagation of humankind¡¯.
¡°Seriously, this is a bad influence. Now our nation is even allowing a second child. Isn¡¯t this contrary to where our nation is heading?¡±
Before he had a chance to finish, someone snatched his mobile phone out of his hand. Stunned, Wang Youquan turned around and found himself looking right into the man¡¯s ambiguous stare.
The iciness spread, like a vine curling around him, choking him so that he couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°Sichen¡¡±
Fu Sichen threw him a cold nce and spoke indifferently into the phone, ¡°It¡¯s me, Fu Sichen. Create a scandal with Pei Zhen? Sure, but on one condition. Pei Zhen has tomit to starring in a movie with me.¡±
At the other end of the line, Xiao Nian¡¯s heart was pounding. ¡°What¡ what movie?¡±
¡°I had previously picked a gay-themed movie if you recall.¡± Fu Sichen patiently exined, ¡°It¡¯s a progressive theme, and praises the virtues of socialism. When the timees, whether in terms of theme or philosophy, it would be thought-provoking and could turn out to be the Best Film of the Year.¡±
Xiao Nian was swept away by the possibilities that Fu Sichenid before him, and was totally bowled over by Fu Sichen¡¯s state-of-the-art thinking.
Seriously¡ shallow!

¡°Sure, Best Actor Fu. Roger that, Best Actor Fu.¡± Xiao Nian was quick at selling his artiste. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, one of the lead roles will be Pei Zhen¡¯s for sure.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯sugh was profound. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you for this, great manager Xiao.¡±
¡°No trouble, no trouble at all.¡± The great manager Xiao was overwhelmed by the task bestowed upon him.
¡°Oh.¡± Fu Sichen cleared his throat and put on a serious tone. ¡°Since Pei Zhen is going to be taking on the new film, how far is the filming location from his apartment?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Speaking of that, Xiao Nian was a little concerned. ¡°Pei Pei doesn¡¯t like staying in hotels. I¡¯m in a conundrum whether to book a hotel room or just travel from his apartment.¡±
¡°He cane stay with me.¡±
It was getting even more ridiculous.
¡°I have assignments those few days and won¡¯t be home.¡±
¡°Errr¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay toe over, and by the way, you can help look after the Persian cat.¡±
Right after theunch event, they would start filming. Because of that, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t have much energy to fuss over the ambiguous picture of Fu Sichen and himself.
¡°Daddy, I found excellent amodations.¡± The luxury mini-van sped along the highway. Xiao Nian turned back to nce at Pei Zhen who was sprawled across the seat as he drove. ¡°It has the luxury of a hotel, but the feel of a home.¡±
Pei Zhen raised an eyebrow. ¡°Oh?¡±
Xiao Nian blinked. ¡°It¡¯s a rare opportunity, and it¡¯s a unique location.¡±
His manager seldom sang praises of people or things. Hearing what Xiao Nian was saying about the ce made Pei Zhen curious and hopeful.
Hence, when Pei Zhen finally saw the familiar serviced apartment building, the hope turned into fury. Pei Zhen turned around to walk away.
¡°Daddy!¡± Xiao Nian threw himself onto Pei Zhen. ¡°Don¡¯t go. If you go, what about me?!¡±
Pei Zhen said frostily, ¡°You know what. Shut your eyes. And make sure they stay shut forever. I guarantee you eternal peace. You will have no more worries.¡±
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Xiao Nianughed and rubbed his nose, seeming a little shy. ¡°Pei Pei, it¡¯s okay if I die, but then it means there¡¯ll be no one to look after the Persian cat.¡±
¡°Cat?¡± Pei Zhen frowned. ¡°What about Fu Sichen?¡± Surely he didn¡¯t start to abuse the cat after Pei Zhen returned to being a human?
¡°Best Actor Fu said that he has assignments.¡± Seeing that Pei Zhen was hesitating, he quickly added, ¡°Daddy, you can rx when I¡¯m in charge. I know Fu Sichen is your sworn enemy. I picked times when he wouldn¡¯t be around.¡±
Pei Zhen was still half-suspicious and looked intently at Xiao Nian for a while. Seeing that he was so confident and smug, he decided to believe the man.
As Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t wanted to hold on to Fu Sichen¡¯s spare key to the apartment, Xiao Nian kept it with him. Initially disliking the arrangement, when Pei Zhen saw how at ease Xiao Nian was in unlocking the apartment door, he felt a tinge of annoyance.
The door unlocked with a click.
Xiao Nian pushed the door open and respectfully said, ¡°Daddy, please enter.¡±
Daddy Pei was about to take a step when he stopped and stepped back again with a stern expression. ¡°Give me the key.¡±
¡°What?¡± It caught Xiao Nian by surprise.
Amid his subtle threatening, Pei Zhen snatched the key out of Xiao Nian¡¯s hand and re-opened the door, and kept the key himself.
They finally entered the apartment.
Pei Zhen¡¯s act stupified Xiao Nian, and he couldn¡¯t think of why Daddy Pei had suddenly changed his mind about not wanting the key.
¡°Meow,¡± the cat called out.
The call of the cat interrupted his thoughts. He saw the big white well-fed Persian cat. Seeing Pei Zhen, the cat was so happy that it charged forward, and with a powerful leap, it jumped into Pei Zhen¡¯s embrace and started to lick the man.

Chapter 147: His Heart Warmed
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The Persian cat was round like a ball. It looked a little too well-fed, it was almost fat.
Pei Zhen was quite pleased to see it, but when the Persian cat walked up towards him for a kiss, he lightly swiped its face away.
Regretfully, the cat reminded Pei Zhen of the time that his soul upied its body. If he were to kiss the cat, it would feel too much like kissing himself¡ªit was weird and embarrassing.
The Persian cat meowed.
Its meow was truly helpless and weak.
¡°Keke.¡± Pei Zhenughed and changed the topic. ¡°Are you hungry? Want some cat food?¡±
Now that the Persian cat was just a cat, it wasn¡¯t too fussy. It didn¡¯t eat human food and didn¡¯t jump onto the dining table. The moment Pei Zhen said ¡®cat food¡¯, its eyes shone and it looked at Pei Zhen happily.
Finally, the cat food that Fu Sichen bought previously went to good use.
Having lived in the serviced apartment for some time, Pei Zhen was familiar with where things were.
Leaving Xiao Nian to y with the cat, Pei Zhen poured out some cat food and then nestled himself on the sofa.
He flipped through the script.
The new show was an idol drama. Although self-proimed to have a meaningful and encouraging theme with young and vibrant energy, it was brainless. Pei Zhen obliged only for the sake of the director.
It was bad enough that he was sullying his own image by doing it, but he didn¡¯t expect that Fu Sichen would join him in the madness.
As a producer on top of that¡
The emotions he was feeling wereplex, but Pei Zhen read on. He was trying to figure out how he was going to y the role of arrogant and overbearing, supposedly perfect, prince of the school.
The cutest boy in school.
Pei Zhen recalled when he was in the first year of high school, the cutest boy in school seemed to be Fu Sichen.
Xiao Nian had been ying with the cat for a while before a call from the agency came. He was called back to sign an agreement.
¡°Sure, General Manager Xu, I¡¯lle right away.¡±
On hanging up, Xiao Nian nced at Pei Zhen who was sitting on the sofa.
Daddy Pei¡¯s back was facing him, and he was sitting with anguid posture. Looking from Xiao Nian¡¯s angle, he could see a corner of the script.
Xiao Nian assumed that Pei Zhen was focusing on reading the script, and he naturally lowered his voice. ¡°Pei Pei, I have to make a trip back to the office.¡±
Pei Zhen acknowledged with a grunt, not really paying much attention, much like he was mumbling in a dream state.
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t pay much attention and was even afraid to interrupt Daddy Pei¡¯s focus. He shut the door quietly.
Not long after Xiao Nian left the apartment, Fu Sichen unexpectedly returned home. He was fortunate enough to see Pei Zhen, who had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Seeing its master, the Persian cat didn¡¯t hide its happiness. However, before it could leap into Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace, thetter knelt and pinched its mouth shut.
¡°Hush.¡±
Fu Sichen had never tip-toed so cautiously before.
Without a sound he walked around until he was standing before the sofa, then he lightly leaned against the cab and looked at the sleeping man with overflowing tenderness.
In his impression, the man never seemed to sleep enough.
He was like that a long time ago, and it hadn¡¯t changed a bit.
His eyes were closed, his thickshes cast a faint shadow on his pale face, and his lips were lightly pursed and beautifully arched. With one foot ced on the coffee table, he looked every bit arrogant.
So arrogant, but on the other hand it gave the impression that he was intelligent.
Fu Sichen froze and looked steadily at Pei Zhen for a while, and couldn¡¯t help but smiled as he did so. He only moved when Pei Zhen unconsciously curled his fingers as if feeling cold.
Still cautiously light on his feet, he walked towards Pei Zhen, bent over, reached out, and held his hand.
Initially intending to establish physical contact for a moment, he eventually couldn¡¯t bear to let go. He slid his fingers between Pei Zhen¡¯s so that their fingers were intertwined.
It was a simple act, but Fu Sichen felt as though the warmth of the sun was prating him and it spread throughout his heart.

It was a nap that was unbeatablyfortable.
In his dream, he was a teenager again. He fell ill, and the Genius Buddy from next door was more anxious than he was. Genius Buddy embraced him like he was the most precious thing in the world.
The embrace felt safe and warm.
It was like he felt at that moment.
Pei Zhen sighed in contentment, unconsciously twitched a little, and then gave another soft sigh.
It came from the top of his head.
His brain told him¡ªthat was not you sighing.
Who was it then?
Pei Zhen was startled and broke out in cold sweat, and his eyes snapped open in a sh. A dashing face that could send millions of girls shrieking registered in his vision¡ªthe face belonging to Fu Sichen.
¡°Damn!¡±
In a rage, and without a second thought, Pei Zhen¡¯s hand curled into a tight fist and delivered a vicious punch!
And so, Fu Sichen¡¯s peaceful sleep didn¡¯tst very long.
In the first hour of Pei Zhen¡¯s sleep, Fu Sichen was staring at his face as if he¡¯d never tire of it.
In the next hour of Pei Zhen¡¯s sleep, Fu Sichen embraced the sleeping Pei Zhen and couldn¡¯t bear to let go for a moment.
¡°Great. Now I don¡¯t even have to think about filming.¡± Reflected in the mirror was a pathetic-looking Fu Sichen with a ck eye. ¡°Pei Zhen,st time I offended half the entertainment circle.¡±
With the damage done to his dashing face, Fu Sichen expected that he¡¯d offend the other half of his fans.
No filming, no assignments¡ªPei Zhen had to bear the responsibility.
¡°Huh.¡± Pei Zhen angrily stuck his knife and fork into his piece of steak. ¡°Haven¡¯t you already gotten yourself so ahead in the game by bing a producer?¡±
Why would a producer need to be involved in acting?
What a lousy way to try to gain sympathy points.
He threw a mocking nce at Fu Sichen and continued struggling with his steak.
Although annoyed by Fu Sichen¡¯s sudden return to the apartment, the fact was that Fu Sichen¡¯s culinary skills were peerless. Pei Zhen was hankering for his cooking. After the meal, he¡¯d burn the bridge and kick Fu Sichen out of the apartment!
The pan-fried steak was golden-brown, and its aroma infiltrated every crevice. Pei Zhen was starving when he woke up.
¡°Here, have mine instead.¡± Fu Sichen pushed his te of cut-up steak in front of Pei Zhen in exchange for Pei Zhen¡¯s mutted piece of meat. ¡°You must be hungry.¡±
Apart from the asionalck in EQ, Fu Sichen excelled in almost everything else.
Great culinary skills aside, even the piece of steak was neatly cut. For whatever reasons, shame or otherwise, Pei Zhen turned red as he looked at the piece of steak in front of him.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯ting back?¡± He ate a few pieces of the steak, and it was very tender. It was as good as those found in restaurants of five-star hotels. He continued, ¡°You lied to me.¡±
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t look up. ¡°Yes, I lied. I wanted to see you, and sleep with you.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned into silence.
The frankness and transparency hit him like an oing ball at high speed. Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t react in time and almost lost his defense.
¡°You!¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s heart rate rose, and the tips of his ears turned a bright scarlet. He threw down his fork. ¡°Fu Sichen, do you think I don¡¯t dare to hit you!¡±
Fu Sichen slowly wiped his mouth. ¡°Of course you dare to. The only question is if you¡¯ll win the fight.¡±
The disdain in his attitude and his arrogant manner irritated the Little Brat Pei so much that in a rush of adrenaline he charged violently at Fu Sichen.
He wasn¡¯t going to take that sitting down!
Little Brat Pei wouldn¡¯t remain calm; he got up and threw himself at Fu Sichen, punching and kicking. The two wrestled each other in a vicious battle from the dining table to the floor, and even the Persian cat meowed in fright.
¡°Bastard!¡± Arm-twisted and unable to break free, Pei Zhen was being subdued and lying on top of Fu Sichen. His other hand grabbed Fu Sichen¡¯s shirt cor, and his expression was indignant, as though he would do anything to give Fu Sichen a good round of punching to vent his anger.
¡°Don¡¯t you regret provoking me?¡±

Even though Pei Zhen had never been in love, he knew that society didn¡¯t tolerate homosexuality in general.
To make it worse, both of them were popr celebrities and closely watched by millions. If it ever came to light, what would happen to Fu Sichen then?
Would he persist, or would he give up?
What if he had to give up his career, would he be able to take the blow of losing everything? It was difficult to climb from the valley to the peak and even harder to fall from the peak into the valley.
Pei Zhen though of his own parents, and of Fu Sichen¡¯s parents.
Both were the only sons in their families. If they decided to be together, would they be seen to be seditious, would they hurt their parents?
Pei Zhen inwardly took a deep breath and shifted his gaze onto Fu Sichen. They stared into each other¡¯s eyes and saw the same deep feelings.
¡°Fu Sichen.¡± As though trying to get a confirmation, but at the same time issuing a warning, Pei Zhen asked once more, ¡°Are you sure you wouldn¡¯t regret provoking me?¡±
Fu Sichen looked into Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes in silence and slightly parted his lower lip, unable to hide his surprise. After a long pause, he suddenlyughed. ¡°Pei Zhen, do you think so lowly of me?¡±
It was Pei Zhen¡¯s turn to be surprised.
¡°So you think my feelings for you are a matter of ying house? That I think it¡¯s a passing fad, mere curiosity, or just my impulsiveness?¡±
¡°I¡¡± That time around Pei Zhen was caught off-guard. Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze was fiery, and it scorched Pei Zhen to the point that he had noeback. The hand that was gripping Fu Sichen¡¯s shirt cor was slowly cramping up and weakening.
¡°Regret? My only regret is not having told you my feelings earlier. These days I¡¯ve been thinking, if I had been earlier and more actively pursued you, then I¡¯d have had more time to hold you in my embrace. If I could have you today, who cares if the world falls apart tomorrow.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen¡ you will never know how long I¡¯ve loved you.¡± Fu Sichen himself had forgotten when it was that the Little Brat Pei hadpletely conquered his heart.
His expression was serious, and his gaze was deeply intense.
His hand clenched tight, and his passion turned into warmness, traveling from his palm to every corner of his heart.
Pei Zhen¡¯s face gradually reddened as he choked on words that refused toe. But words were useless as everything turned nk for Pei Zhen.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡± Fu Sichen sighed softly, sliding one hand towards Pei Zhen¡¯s back to hold him in a light embrace. He almost pleaded, ¡°Give me a chance.¡±
Pei Zhen felt his throat burning. Unconsciously, he curled his fingers, ¡°I¡¡±
¡°Sichen.¡±
¡°Pei Pei.¡±
At that point, they were interrupted by the sound of someone opening the front door. The two great managers Wang Youquan and Xiao Nian entered the apartment together.
¡°Pei Pei, the director, he¡ he¡ he¡¡±
Their gazes fell on the two men who were in a most awkward position. Xiao Nian was stunned as though hit by lightning, the rest of the words lodged in his throat and he could only manage a repetitive ¡®He¡ he¡ he¡¡¯.
¡°What?¡± Having been interrupted, the tender yet awkward moment suddenly disappeared. Pei Zhen ignored Fu Sichen and got onto his feet, smoothing out his clothes as he asked, ¡°What about the director?¡±
¡°Oh, y-yes. The director wishes to start filming tonight.¡±
After settling his work in the office, Xiao Nian had received a call from the director. He learned that the leadingdy had to bring forward the filming as she was unavable the next day.
Although they felt bad about it, they hoped that Pei Zhen could amodate the change.
¡°I came to get you.¡± After saying that, Xiao Nian looked at Fu Sichen, and directed his next remarks at Pei Zhen. ¡°He hit you?¡±
How dare that man hit his artiste!

Dong Hai Fairy Xiao Nian Nian was a timid man.
However, when it came to Pei Zhen¡¯s welfare, he was protective.
Seeing the disheveled Pei Zhen brought all sorts of unbing thoughts to Xiao Nian¡¯s mind.
They must have had a brawl!
Fu Sichen was too much¡ªhe imed that he was inviting Pei Pei to stay at his apartment, but in reality, he just needed a punching bag!
Xiao Nian took at look at Fu Sichen, then at Pei Zhen. Even at 180 cm, thetter seemed weak and helpless.
¡°Fu Sichen!¡± With a yank, Xiao Nian positioned Pei Zhen behind him. Although fearful, he still looked at Fu Sichen steadily. ¡°Bullying Pei Zhen is bullying me! Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re Best Actor that I don¡¯t have the guts to hit you!¡±
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Following those angry words, without waiting for Fu Sichen to reply, Xiao Nian immediately dragged Pei Zhen behind him. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Getting involved in a fight is really bad. If you win you end up in jail, and if you lose you end up in the hospital. Let¡¯s go and make a police report.¡±
Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen and Wang Youquan were all equally bbergasted.
What that person meant by ¡°bully¡± was only a brawl!
It was a rare asion that Fu Sichen got so angry.
His frustration was stuck fast in his chest, finding no way in or out. He wished he could give the idiot Xiao Nian a violent beating. However, Pei Zhen had run off considerably quickly with Xiao Nian in tow.
Great.
Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t given him an answer!
¡°Pei Zhen.¡± Seeing that his love had left, Fu Sichen wanted to go after him. When Wang Youquan saw that, he took a step forward and courageously stopped Fu Sichen from advancing further.
¡°Sichen, calm down. Take caution, and wait for the right moment. Forcing it will only make things worse. It¡¯s obvious that you shouldn¡¯t pursue Pei Zhen.¡±
¡°Get lost!¡± Fu Sichen said.
Fu Sichen carelessly brushed Wang Youquan aside and briskly strode off. Wang Youquan called out after him, saying, ¡°There¡¯s an assignment tonight.¡± Fu Sichen, with his back facing him, said, ¡°Call it off, I¡¯m not going. Any more of this rubbish, and I¡¯ll quit.¡±
That wasn¡¯t all.
Fu Sichen stopped at the doorway and turned around to look at the nervous Wang Youquan. With a slight smile and ridiculous self-confidence, he said, ¡°Pei Zhen definitely likes me.¡±
Wang Youquan was stunned.
It was a rare asion that Pei Zhen was proactive.
Whenever there was filming in the past, Daddy Pei would drag his feet, although he¡¯d never turned upte.
Xiao Nian had taken off at high speed with Pei Zhen in tow. After getting into the mini-van, Pei Zhen hurried the assistant to drive off. Xiao Nian looked at Pei Zhen, who wasn¡¯t being his usual self, and his heart ached.
That scum of a Fu Sichen must have given Pei Zhen a heavy thrashing to put Pei Zhen in such a panicky state!
¡°Pei Pei, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± After all, counseling his artiste was part of his duty as a manager. Xiao Nian looked upon Pei Zhen with motherly love. ¡°I¡¯ll increase the number of bodyguards so that you¡¯ll be safe. Don¡¯t worry; I won¡¯t let Fu Sichen harm you!¡±
¡°Oh¡ thank you.¡± Pei Zhen mumbled.
¡°What¡¯s there to thank? This is my duty as your loyal subject!¡±
Pei Zhen could only roll his eyes.
Xiao Nian¡¯s IQ had slightly improved. Very quickly, Pei Zhen¡¯s thoughts drifted back to Fu Sichen.
¡°Pei Pei, give me a chance.¡±
Those words still held warmth and echoed in Pei Zhen¡¯s ears, touching his heart.
Should he reject?
Or rather, would he be able to reject?
His fingers tightened and dug into hisp. The answer, to him, was clear as day¡

On the surface, celebrities were a morous bunch. The stronger ones or luckier ones were envied by many.
But they had to work hard too.
If there was filming, it could mean an all-nighter.
Those who were more unreasonable would push their weight; those who were more responsible would cause less trouble to the others and the filming crew.
Initially filming was nned to begin on the second morning, but with a call from the director, Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian had to rush to the filming locationte in the evening.
By the time they arrived, it was nine o¡¯clock.
The idol drama called for a tear-jerking scene that took ce on a rainy night.
The goddess leading actress was urged on by the supporting actress, getting ready to break up with the cutest guy in school. ordingly, the wind rose, and it started to rain. The leading actor and actress were breaking up amidst the backdrop of the torrential rain.
It was so melodramatic.
Pei Zhen was embarrassed to the point of choking just reading the lines of the script.
¡°Hey, stop frowning.¡± They owed the director a favor. Knowing that Pei Zhen detested such storylines, Xiao Nian could only try his best to pacify him. ¡°Do your best. The faster you get through this, the faster we can leave.¡±
Pei Zhen gruntedzily to indicate he understood. ¡°Since when would your Daddy not give his best effort?¡±
Pei Zhen had a rxed personality and air of nonchnce. Acting was about the only thing that he would be serious about.
Xiao Nian sniggered; he had prepared a big towel to give Pei Zhen as an indication that he could go all out for the ¡®rain scene¡¯.
Pei Zhen was twenty-five years old. In the entertainment circle terms, he wasn¡¯t ¡®young¡¯. Good genes gave him a handsome face and skin that was smoother than most women¡¯s.
With his makeup and costume on, it would seem that he was even younger than the female lead when he stepped in front of the crowd.
¡°How dashing.¡±
¡°So dashing!¡±
¡°The cutest guy in my high school wasn¡¯t even this cute!¡±
¡°Woohoo, who can be better looking than Pei Zhen? Pei Pei is my brilliant moonlight!¡±
Excited shrieking could be heard from the girls on the side, especially when Pei Zhen looked in their direction and gave a smile¡ªit immediately drew a frenzied response.
Before she could even utter the words ¡°Pei¡ Pei¡¡± and ¡°Teacher¡±, the up-anding leadingdy standing before Pei Zhen was already blushing furiously. Lowering her head, she said with reverence, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry for the sudden change in ns and that it has caused you to have toe at such an hour of the night to film.¡±
¡°A small matter.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s expression was quite indifferent. ¡°Let¡¯s film.¡±
¡°Sure, sure¡ I¡¯d appreciate your guidance¡¡±
The so-called ¡®rain scene¡¯ was naturally man-made.
The ¡®rain¡¯ was created using a water hose.
The actors took their positions, and the assistants held up the hose. Once the director gave the go-ahead, the cold water beat down onto the actors relentlessly.
¡°I-I no longer love you.¡± The rain came down, and her face was red. The up-anding leadingdy sounded like a mosquito. ¡°Let¡¯s break up.¡±
¡°Cut¡¡±
The director watching from the side was speechless, ¡°Liu Lulu, why are you acting shyly? You are going through a breakup, not a love confession.¡±
Having been reprimanded, the up-anding leadingdy turned white and spoke clumsily, ¡°So¡ sorry. I¡¯ll do my best.¡±
With good intentions, she steeled herself, waiting for the st from the water host. However, when her eyes met Pei Zhen¡¯s, the youngdy suddenly turned red again.
Damn it.
Everyone was patient. When the director shouted ¡®Cut¡¯ again, they began to feel frustrated.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did she have aprehension issue? Hadn¡¯t it been exined to her that it was a breakup?¡±
¡°Poor Pei Pei, he¡¯s been drenched for nothing.¡±
¡°Ah, wasn¡¯t Daddy Pei just discharged from the hospital?¡±
¡°What up-anding leadingdy is this? Getting herself a god-father has made all the difference to her.¡±
There were non-stop whisperings with undertones of ridicule, causing the leadingdy to flush with embarrassment. Her body tensed, but she didn¡¯t dare to retort.
¡°Take a break.¡± Before Pei Zhen had a chance to speak up, a voice came from beyond. ¡°We¡¯ll continue the filmingter.¡±

A deep voice with unmistakable iciness. Although the voice made people nervous, the hoarseness had a seductive edge that was very attractive.
The crowd froze momentarily and looked in the direction of the voice.
As expected, it was Best Actor Fu.
Normally cool and steady, the man was now a little anxious. He took the towel out of Xiao Nian¡¯s hand and quickly strode towards Pei Zhen who was standing before the camera. ¡°Are you feeling cold? Dry yourself; don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±
The man was a towering 1.9 meters and had a straight and imposing frame. The light cast his shadow onto the ground such that it merged ambiguously with Pei Zhen¡¯s.
Insistently, he wrapped the big towel around Pei Zhen with an outstretched arm and slight forward posture. From a distance, it looked like he was embracing Pei Zhen.
However, Xiao Nian, who was standing outside the filming backdrop, felt none of the charm or tenderness of the moment.
Suspiciously, he recalled the ¡®brawling¡¯ scene, and he was anxious and angry all over again.
¡°Fu Sichen!¡± One wondered where the Fairy Girl Xiao got his guts. He was normally extremely respectful towards Fu Sichen, but he charged up to them like a tornado. ¡°Pei Pei doesn¡¯t need your care!¡±
With the furious maning up from behind, Fu Sichen reacted extremely quickly. Before Xiao Nian could get to them, he half-hugged half-pushed Pei Zhen to the side.
¡°Xiao Nian, are you trying to murder your fathers?¡±
Xiao Nian was stunned. He had one ¡®Daddy¡¯, and it was Pei Zhen. Since when were there ¡®fathers¡¯?
Fu Sichen traveled so far¡ªwhile it wasn¡¯tpletely out of Pei Zhen¡¯s expectations, it was still a surprise to see it happen.
Without a chance to even protest, Pei Zhen was ushered to the resting room. He dried his hair and changed out of his soaked clothes. At that point, he was able to stop himself from sneezing.
¡°Do you want a hot drink?¡± Fu Sichen knitted his brows together in a frown when he observed Pei Zhen¡¯s pale face¡ªhe forgot about the answer he hade for. ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll get some water.¡±
Since Fu Sichen was there, Xiao Nian had no chance of being the one to fuss over Pei Zhen.
When the ever-aloof Best Actor Fu put his mind to being a manager, he waspletelypetent.
Although it was not yet Autumn, it was still the tail end of summer, so Fu Sichen insisted on turning up the heater before he busied himself with getting a ss of hot water.
Pei Zhen went along with whatever Fu Sichen insisted.
It was rare that Pei Zhen was so agreeable. His eyes followed Fu Sichen closely, and it was only when the man¡¯s silhouette disappeared that Pei Zhen could look elsewhere.
Damn. How strange.
It wasn¡¯t as if he¡¯d never be taken care of before, but it had never felt like the stirrings of love that he was feeling at that moment.
Knock knock.
The knocking on the door interrupted his train of thought. It was the up-anding leadingdy standing at the door.
She had changed into dry clothes, but her hair was still wet. Droplets of water were rolling down her fringe, and it was quite a pitiful sight.
Liu Lulu looked ill-at-ease.
Pei Zhen nced at the girl with suspicion, but he nodded his head when she asked if she coulde in.
¡°Teacher Pei, sorry about tonight.¡± The leadingdy was blushing furiously, her eyes full of regret. ¡°It was my fault¡ h-here are some flu tablets. You¡¡±
¡°A small matter.¡± Pei Zhen rejected the girl¡¯s offer and switched the topic. He began to talk about work. ¡°Are you able to get into your role now?¡±
He was hoping not to to be drenched over and over again.
¡°I-I¡¡± It was a blow to her professional capability. Liu Lulu nced at Pei Zhen and lowered her head. ¡°I¡¯m trying my best¡¡±
The man before her was extremely aplished, and it was hard to remain unmoved by him.
¡°Look at me.¡± Pei Zhen was most reluctant to lose a night of sleep. In his desperation, he didn¡¯t care if what he was about to do was appropriate. He held the girl¡¯s chin in his palm. ¡°Imagine I¡¯m the person you love, and now you¡¯re asking for a breakup.¡±
A thud.

A thud.
Just as Pei Zhen spoke, the sound of a cup falling onto the ground could be hearding from the doorway.
Pei Zhen froze and reflexively looked in the direction of the sound.
It was Fu Sichen.
Fu Sichen was just back from getting water when he ran into the scene of his love lightly holding the side of the girl¡¯s face and saying something about love.
I¡¯m the person you love.
Huh.
¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu.¡± The leadingdy realized Fu Sichen¡¯s presence. She turned red. ¡°I¡ Teacher Pei, he¡¡±
¡°I know.¡± Not allowing the leadingdy a chance to exin, Fu Sichen bent over to pick up the cup in a calm manner. ¡°You were analyzing the film scene.¡±
Fu Sichen had made a correct guess, although that somehow caused the leadingdy to feel a little regretful. Of course, she didn¡¯t dare to make it too obvious, but mumbled, ¡°Pei¡ Mr. Pei Zhen¡¯s an aplished actor, so I found the courage to ask questions and learn from him.¡±
Saying that, she couldn¡¯t help stealing a look at Pei Zhen, turning red from the tips of her ears to her shoulders. Young girls were so simple-minded and easy to read.
Huh.
Fu Sichenughed icily inwardly but forced a gentle smile on his face. ¡°If you have any problems, you can ask me.¡±
The leadingdy was stunned and overwhelmed by the suggestion. ¡°No¡ I won¡¯t trouble you, Best Actor Fu¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s no trouble.¡± Best Actor Fu smiled, appearing extremely patient and mild-tempered. ¡°I¡¯m just a producer today, as I¡¯m not filming.¡±
¡°Errr¡¡±
¡°Just feel free. Pei Zhen just got drenched for nothing, and he¡¯s tired.¡± Saying that, a look of realization dawned on Fu Sichen¡¯s face. ¡°Or, is it that you don¡¯t trust me? You think my acting skills aren¡¯t as good as Pei Zhen¡¯s?¡±
He was Best Actor for three consecutive years, how bad could his acting skills be?!
Fu Sichen was just setting her up and putting her on the spot.
No matter how the young leadingdy answered the question, it would¡¯ve been the wrong one. Feeling trapped, she panicked and started to fumble for words. Clutching the hem of her shirt, she was almost in tears.
¡°Didn¡¯t the director ask for you earlier?¡± Pei Zhen broke the stalemate situation. He ignored Fu Sichen¡¯s re and created a way out for her. ¡°Hurry up then.¡±
¡°Oh, yes, yes,¡± she said, relieved that he rescued her. She cast Pei Zhen a grateful nce and left in haste.
There were only Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen in the resting room.
As expected, the moment the leadingdy left, Fu Sichen, whom a moment ago looked gentle, was ring angrily at Pei Zhen. He was also feeling a little hurt. ¡°Why was she here?¡±
¡°To discuss the scene.¡± The door to the resting room was open, and Pei Zhen felt their privacy was exposed. He walked over to shut the door. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to give her some acting pointers? What¡¯s the point of asking such a question?¡±
¡°Oh, and teaching involves pinching her chin?¡± He followed behind Pei Zhen as he walked. Recalling the scene he walked in on annoyed him all over again. ¡°Were you misleading her so that she would fall for you?¡±
Fall for him?
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t quite understand the remark and turned around, almost knocking into Fu Sichen who was still following close behind.
There was hardly any space between the two men. Pei Zhen was a few centimeters shorter than Fu Sichen, so when he turned, Fu Sichen¡¯s lips brushed against his hair. His expression clouded over for a few moments.
He lifted his head slightly and felt his chest tightening with the growing ambiguity. Pei Zhen subconsciously took a step backward, but with a snap, Fu Sichen extended one of his hand and rested it on the door. He was almost encircling Pei Zhen in an embrace.
¡°Hey.¡± Pei Zhen felt his face heating up, but he refused to shy away. Steadily, he said to Fu Sichen, ¡°Don¡¯t wrongfully use me, when did I mislead her into falling for me?¡±
¡°Imagine I¡¯m the person you love¡ isn¡¯t that so?!¡± Fu Sichen red at him usingly. ¡°You¡¯ve never even misled me that way.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned speechless.

Misled¡ my ass.
He liked him in the first ce. Was there even a need to mislead him?
Pei Zhen wanted to protest, but the moment he looked into Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes, the poisonous words of ridicule choked up in his throat and refused toe out.
¡°I was really only teaching her.¡±
Touched that, for once, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t have nasty words for him, Fu Sichen smiled. ¡°Fine, but there was no need to pinch her chin.¡±
It was getting ridiculous.
¡°You¡¯ve never pinched my chin.¡±
It was getting even more ridiculous.
Pei Zhen froze for a while, and then, not able to contain it any longer, he rolled his eyes. ¡°Why are you so¡¡±
He was going to say childish, but then changed his mind and used a more tactful word.
Calctive.
Petty.
He had never met such a troublesome man.
Fu Sichen broke into a smile as Pei Zhen went onining. Unable to restrain himself he took a step closer to Pei Zhen such that the tips of their noses touched. ¡°That woman wanted to seduce the man I love. There¡¯d be something wrong if I weren¡¯t petty.¡±
Pei Zhen relented.
His heart started to pound, and his face began to flush. He couldn¡¯t help but raise his hand to touch Fu Sichen on his chin, lifting it gently.
¡°Imagine I¡¯m the person you love, and now you¡¯re asking for a breakup.¡±
Fu Sichen was still.
His gaze was steady. ¡°No, I would never ask for a breakup.¡±
Cough, cough. Suddenly the temperature seemed to have risen, and Pei Zhen reflexively shivered. He looked away, not daring to maintain a hold on Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze. Then, brushing the man aside, he said, ¡°Will that do? How troublesome you are.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t trust himself to stay any longer and strode towards the door. From the side, a hand reached out and encircled his wrist. Fu Sichen¡¯s grip was tight, as though he couldn¡¯t bear to let go.
¡°Pei Pei, about trying. You¡ do you have an answer for me?¡±
A burning gaze, full of desire. Even if Pei Zhen didn¡¯t look at Fu Sichen, he could feel the man¡¯s anxious grip around his wrist.
Was that the cool and steady Best Actor Fu he knew?
¡°Okay.¡± Pei Zhen nodded, pretending to be calm. ¡°We can.¡±
Fu Sichen was stunned. ¡°What?¡±
¡°I said we can be together.¡± Seeing Fu Sichen¡¯s expression of disbelief, Pei Zhen was no longer nervous, and the corners of his lips slowly curled upwards. Then with mock arrogance, he continued, saying, ¡°If you should regret itter, I¡¯ll tell it to the whole world, and expose the truth that you¡¯re gay.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not gay.¡± A feeling of joy was washing over Fu Sichen, like the rising and falling of waves. His mind was a nk, and he was responding purely on reflex. ¡°I don¡¯t like men, I only like you.¡±
Pei Zhen relented.
Great.
Another confession.
But it felt sweet, and it wasn¡¯t bad.
¡°So¡¡± It was the first time that he¡¯d ever been in love. The man before him who used to be his sworn enemy had, in a sudden turn of events, be his boyfriend. Pei Zhen was a little embarrassed and shy. ¡°I-I have to go back to filming.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Fu Sichen said.
But the man continued his tight grip on Pei Zhen¡¯s wrist, unable to conceal his happiness¡ªit was the sort of magical happiness that bowls you over like a fresh breeze in Spring.
When he smiled, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but smile too. The two of them relished in the moment for a bit before Pei Zhen said helplessly, ¡°I really have to go.¡±
¡°A little while more.¡± Fu Sichen slid his hand downwards, and then squeezed his fingers between Pei Zhen¡¯s until their fingers intertwined, palm to palm. ¡°Just a little while more.¡±
Pei Zhen did not object.
In all of his twenty-five years, he had never been in love.
He suddenly had someone in his life, and there was a fuzzy feeling bubbling in his heart. It felt like the sweetest thing in the world.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, one refusing to let go, the other refusing to go. They stayed that way until an assistant appeared, shouting for Pei Zhen.
One following the other, they stepped out of the resting room. Pei Zhen headed off to the studio. Xiao Nian saw that his face was red and got anxious. ¡°Pei Pei, what¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡±
Water drenched him during filming, after all, and it was night time. It would¡¯ve been easy to catch a cold.
¡°A small matter.¡± Pei Zhen coughed once and looked away. ¡°I¡¯m ready to film.¡±
It was still the ¡®breakup in the rain¡¯ scene.
When the young leadingdy saw Pei Zhen in front of the camera, naturally, the look of admiration washed over her expression. She ran towards him in a diligent manner, but her manager called out to her.
¡°Lulu, the Producer is asking for you.¡±
The young leadingdy stopped and turned. As expected, she ended up face-to-face with Fu Sichen.
Dark and brooding, it was hard to know what he was thinking; he was like a cold-blooded assassin.
Although the killer was cold-blooded, overall, he looked rather dashing.
The young leadingdy, who had walked over quite happily, returned with an ashen face. Facing Pei Zhen anew, she was serious and focused, no longer looking like a love-struck fool. She got into character quickly.
The artificial rain started again.
The force of the water was stronger and messed up the young leadingdy¡¯s hairdo; she could hardly keep her eyes open. As though embracing the challenge, the leadingdy proceeded bravely.
¡°Let¡¯s break up.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never loved you.¡±
¡°I tried to catch your attention purely out of vanity, I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Pei Zhen held a pained expression as he delivered the moronic lines, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you! We obviously love each other! And you¡ you are a kind person¡¡±
What could he do?
Fortunately, Pei Zhen¡¯s acting skills were good enough that he could pull off such embarrassing lines convincingly. He charmed the staff standing around the sideline.
¡°Arggghhh, Pei Zhen is so handsome! What excellent acting skills Pei Pei has!¡±
The rain scene finally finished sessfully. When the director shouted ¡®cut¡¯, it was a wrap, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Just like before, once the filming ended, Fu Sichen¡ªalso the producer of the film¡ªquickly went up to Pei Zhen to throw a big towel around him, leaving with Pei Zhen shielded protectively in his embrace.
¡°I¡¯ve prepared hot water. Have a drink and change out of the wet clothes.¡±
The two grown men walked off together like a pair of lovebirds, leaving behind the young leadingdy shivering in the cold. It was a sight almost too pitiful to look at.
¡°There are two more scenes to shoot after this.¡± Pei Zhen had changed out of his wet clothes and was flipping through the script. He nced at Fu Sichen. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go home first?¡±
Filming would take them until dawn. Xiao Nian, the rubbish manager, was already yawning on the side since his job had been taken over by Fu Sichen.
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Fu Sichen reached out for the cup in Pei Zhen¡¯s hand and couldn¡¯t help himself from lightly squeezing it. He said in a gentle tone, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±
The contact was exquisite and once wasn¡¯t enough for Fu Sichen. He gave Pei Zhen¡¯s hand yet another squeeze. Turning red the face, Pei Zhen withdrew shyly.
Fu Sichen almostughed aloud.
He took in every detail of Pei Zhen¡¯s reaction and relished in it. Then he took a sip from the cup, a sip filled with sweetness.
¡°Hey.¡± Pei Zhen turned red in his ears by that point, and his gaze fell on the cup. ¡°You¡¡±
Fu Sichen had drunk from the exact spot on the cup that Pei Zhenst took a sip.
Fu Sichen followed his gaze downwards and realized what he had done. He raised an eyebrow, and boldly rested his lips on the same spot on the cup.
Pei Zhen waspletely abashed.
It felt like a st went off somewhere in his head, and he felt his temperature soar!

Chapter 156: May I Kiss You?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The young leadingdy¡¯s acting skills had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds after having the privilege of personal attention from the producer.
But it was a different story for the Best Actor candidate Pei Zhen.
His face was flushed, and his heart was pounding. Unless he had superb acting skills, there was no way he could act broken-hearted under the circumstance.
The filming went more smoothly than expected, and the Director called it a day before midnight.
Pei Zhen removed his makeup and changed out of his filming clothes. By the time he stepped out, Fu Sichen was the only person left¡ªwaiting for him.
¡°Eh?¡± Pei Zhen looked around and saw no sign of Xiao Nian. ¡°Where¡¯s my son, has he gone to get the car?¡±
¡°He was too tired.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was gentle. ¡°He said he had trouble staying awake and I asked him to go home.¡±
¡°Tsk.¡± Pei Zhen was annoyed and rolled his eyes. ¡°Was he working? Tired my ass.¡±
If Xiao Nian were present, he would have kicked up a scene.
He would¡¯ve sworn that he wasn¡¯t ying truant and that it was Fu Sichen who insisted that he went home!
Without the gooseberry, Fu Sichen was feeling exceptionally amorous. He opened the passenger seat door for Pei Zhen before he walked around to get into the driver seat.
With a turn of the key, Fu Sichen started up the car engine. ¡°Home?¡±
Pei Zhen sat backnguidly like a cat with no bones, his long limbs rxed and extended. He shut his eyes and muttered, ¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Fu Sichenughed and stepped on the elerator.
As the car sped through the darkened surroundings, he felt, for once, that the road home wasn¡¯t so long.
The public roads were quiet in the wee hours, and it gave Fu Sichen an added opportunity to look at the man beside him every so often.
He had peach blossom eyes and a high nose bridge, and he lightly pursed his lips. As the car sped along, the light from the streetmps washed over him, highlighting his handsome face.
He was like a picture.
Very dashing looking.
Before Fu Sichen had enough of looking at Pei Zhen, they had arrived at the serviced apartments. The valet dutifully directed them, but with a slightly annoyed expression, Fu Sichen turned his steering wheel lightly and entered the underground carpark instead.
It waste in the night, and the carpark was exceptionally quiet. After parking the car, Fu Sichen turned towards Pei Zhen to wake him.
He looked at Pei Zhen¡¯s tightly shut eyes, and then downwards to his thin and moist lips. It drove Fu Sichen wild. His face closed in on Pei Zhen¡¯s until their lips were almost touching.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Fu Sichen called out in a soft voice, ¡°Pei Pei, we¡¯re home.¡±
Fu Sichen told himself that if Pei Zhen didn¡¯t wake up, he¡¯d kiss him. However, the sleeping man stirred on the second call, with a flutter of his eyshes. He turned and opened his eyes. ¡°Huh?¡±
Damn. Although it was a little regretful, Fu Sichen said gently, ¡°We¡¯re home.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Pei Zhen was still blurry from the sleep and struggled to get up. The next moment, he found himself restrained by the seatbelt and was slightly thrown back into the seat in a daze.
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but burst outughing. With a hand on Pei Zhen¡¯s shoulder and the other searching for thetch to release the seatbelt, he said, ¡°Let me do it.¡±
No matter how big the carpartment was, space was limited. Besides, Fu Sichen was putting his body weight on him deliberately.
Their shirts slid against each other. The atmosphere was highly charged and intense. When Pei Zhen tilted his head, his lips brushed against Fu Sichen¡¯s face.
Fu Sichen suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Pei Zhen straight in the face.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡±
He called out, and his voice was rough, as though he had a mouthful of heated grit. Fu Sichen¡¯s subtle sexuality aroused Pei Zhen, and with a trembling voice, he replied, ¡°What?¡±
¡°May I kiss you?¡±
Pei Zhen looked down in an attempt to restrain himself. Just when Fu Sichen expected a ¡°No¡±, Pei Zhen reached out to grab him by the cor and kissed him on the lips.

It was meant to be a short kiss, but the shameless man that Fu Sichen was, he couldn¡¯t stop once he started.
One hand locked on Pei Zhen¡¯s waist and the other was on his shoulders, and Fu Sichen leaned his weight against Pei Zhen.
In the tiny carpartment, their shirts chaffed against each other, and the quick kiss became an addictive marathon.
Lips touching, they tasted each other¡¯s sweetness. When one bit the other¡¯s lip and heard the uncontroble moan edged with raspy roughness, it drove them to the brink of sanity.
¡°Oh¡¡± Pei Zhen had never kissed a woman, and it was also the first time that he had truly kissed a man. He wasn¡¯t terribly experienced and his lips and body gave way to the intense kissing; his eyes clouded over and he said, ¡°Hot¡¡±
¡°Hot?¡± Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t contain a softugh. ¡°Only that?¡±
Pei Zhen squinted with his peach blossom eyes. His expression was full of innocence. ¡°Very hot?¡±
He was feeling very hot.
It felt as though fire had scorched where their bodies met, and he was melting in the intense heat.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t take it anymore and pushed Fu Sichen away. ¡°Let go¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t think that I¡¯m a good kisser?¡± Not able to bear tearing himself away, Fu Sichen leaned back onto Pei Zhen after being pushed off.
Pei Zhen¡¯s voice was hoarse as he cursed, ¡°Damn it. You call that a kiss?¡±
The corners of his lips were raw and painful. He touched it lightly, and there was a faint whiff of fresh blood.
Fu Sichen had no hold over his own emotions. He smiled and, in a low voice, whispered something to Pei Zhen. When their eyes met, he couldn¡¯t help but kiss Pei Zhen again. ¡°Yes, yes¡ my skills aren¡¯t up to par. I¡¯ve got to practice more.¡±
Shameless.
Pei Zhen was quite despicable. He couldn¡¯t resist Fu Sichen¡¯s sultry voice, which had the sex appeal of a bass note. It made his heart flutter.
When their lips met in the warmth of the damp and sticky exchange, Pei Zhen felt emotions that he couldn¡¯t contain.
At that point, footsteps were hearding their way. It was subtle, but people were talking.
¡°You really saw Best Actor Fu¡¯s car?¡±
¡°I swear it was, I wouldn¡¯t forget.¡±
¡°In that case, we have to seize the opportunity. If hotel security finds us, we¡¯ll be kicked out.¡±
The voices were low, but Pei Zhen¡¯s sensitive ears caught every word.
Ever since the time he had turned into a cat, his hearing had be exceptionally sharp. The moment he heard the conversation, he suddenly remembered the dog and stiffened.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Fu Sichen leaned back slightly and looked at him quizzically. Pei Zhen silently mouthed the word ¡®paparazzi¡¯. Fu Sichen froze and pricked his ears to listen, and it was only then he noticed the footsteps.
The reporters must have snuck in.
Fu Sichen had gotten carried away. He¡¯d just sealed his rtionship with Pei Zhen and had let his guards down.
It would be a grave mistake to get out of the car. Fu Sichen was relieved that he hadn¡¯t switched on the lights. In a moment of urgency, he pushed Pei Zhen downwards, and they were packed body-to-body in the tight space.
¡°Hey, the car! It¡¯s Best Actor Fu¡¯s car!¡±
The two reporters walked closer and were only a few steps from Fu Sichen¡¯s car. They were full of glee at their discovery.
¡°Indeed Best Actor Fu is here¡ but we don¡¯t know which room. Damn!¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t we wait. I¡¯m sure he¡¯lle to his car tomorrow.¡±
¡°Right, right, right.¡±
The two agreed and nted themselves by the car to wait. In the carpartment, Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen looked at each other. Terribly embarrassed, Pei Zhen reached out to give Fu Sichen a hard pinch.
What could they do?
They couldn¡¯t possibly stay in that position all night.

If the tabloid reporters had moved forward a few steps and looked into the car, they would have hit the jackpot with a sensational entertainment news headline.
Best Actor and Best Actor candidate¡ªthe two of them were in such apromised position that there was no way they could have exined themselves out of the situation.
The exposure would have been such earth-shattering news, that it would rock the hot search headlines for a whole week at least.
Unfortunately, that opportunity wasn¡¯t to be. Soon after, the rather aggressive hotel security walked up briskly.
¡°You two!¡± Waving the electroshock weapon in his hand, the warrior-like middle-aged security guard hollered at them fiercely. ¡°This is private property, who gave you permission to enter?¡±
¡°We¡ we¡¡± The reporters were reluctant to abandon the rare opportunity and tried to pacify and exin at the same time, hoping that the security guard would amodate them. ¡°We won¡¯t affect¡¡±
¡°Get out! Get out now!¡±
It was five-star security for a five-star property. He waved his electroshock weapon like a magician¡¯s wand and chased the two reporters out of the carpark.
It was finally quiet outside.
Fu Sichen extended his head to check and ensure that the coast was clear, then hurriedly helped Pei Zhen out of the car.
Once they were in the lift, he heaved a sigh of relief.
¡°Best Actor Fu,¡± Pei Zhen leanedzily against the elevator wall and said with a teasing smile, ¡°You¡¯re worried that the reporters would find out about our rtionship?¡±
¡°What?¡± Fu Sichen was stunned for a bit, his pupils widening slightly. ¡°No¡ wait¡ you don¡¯t mind being found out?¡±
¡°¡ I, I don¡¯t care,¡± Pei Zhen replied. Since he had chosen to be with Fu Sichen, he was prepared to take on the potentially disastrous future, including being exposed by the reporters.
Fu Sichen froze while he took the information in. Realizing it felt like the biggest ¡®Doh!¡¯ in the century. His expression changed as he turned to hit the lift button. ¡°Call the reporters toe back here. We¡¯ll perform our best kiss for them.¡±
He was worried about Pei Zhen, and that was the only reason he had sent a text to the hotel security!
The thought of having missed this golden opportunity toe out of the closet pained Fu Sichen. He wished he could turn back time.
He hit the lift button decisively, and one wouldn¡¯t know if they shouldugh or cry over his strange reason. Seeing that he was really going back after the tabloid reporters, Pei Zhen stopped him. ¡°What are you doing? Are you mad? Who in their right mind so desperately wants toe out of the closet?¡±
¡°If I don¡¯te out of the closet, scores of people will be eyeing you.¡± Fu Sichen thought of the young leading actress and was annoyed. ¡°I wish I could tell the world you¡¯re mine.¡±
Pei Zhen was taken aback by the deration.
Of course, in the end, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t manage to execute his n. He almost had to be hauled back to the apartment by Pei Zhen.
¡°Just one kiss.¡± Fu Sichen was still trying to persuade Pei Zhen. ¡°Just the one kiss, we don¡¯t have to say anything. The reporters will draw their own conclusion.¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t want to break up on the first day we¡¯re together, you better rid yourself of such ridiculous thoughts.¡± Extending his hands to receive the Persian cat that had jumped up at him, Pei Zhen walked towards the full-length window. The reporters were still negotiating with the security guard downstairs.
¡°We won¡¯t break up.¡± Dropping the idea ofing out of the closet, Fu Sichen walked towards Pei Zhen. He spoke gently and steadily, ¡°Pei Zhen, you will fall in love with me. I¡¯ll make sure of that.¡±
Pei Zhen pursed his lower lip and smiled. He wasn¡¯t quite sure why the arrogant promise from Fu Sichen didn¡¯t provoke the slightest feeling of disgust in him.
Falling¡ in?
Yes, indeed he was thinking of how to get into Fu Sichen.
Pei Zhen refused to admit that they hadn¡¯t gone all the way in the car solely because Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know how to.

By hook or by crook, Fu Sichen had managed to bring his love interest back to his apartment.
His ulterior motive was shameless enough.
Pei Zhen was unaware of that sort of calcted manoeuver. ncing at the loitering reporters at the hotel entrance, he made an annoyed noise.
Fu Sichen tried to suppress his own glee and took a step forward. ¡°Reporters are around. You can¡¯t go home.¡±
Pei Zhen frowned. ¡°Yeah, I probably can¡¯t leave.¡±
¡°You¡¯ll have to stay here.¡±
No matter how wildly his heart was beating, the dashing-looking man put up a calm front, looking as decent as decent could get.
¡°Don¡¯t be anxious,¡± Pei Zhen turned at look at him and said in aforting manner, ¡°Even if there¡¯s only the two of us, rest assured I won¡¯t try anything funny. I promise.¡±
Excuse me?! Fu Sichen thought something wasn¡¯t quite right. Why was he feeling so out of sorts?
It didn¡¯t matter, Pei Zhen was putting up temporarily at Fu Sichen¡¯s serviced apartment for the night.
After a shower, wearing Fu Sichen¡¯s pajamas, Pei Zhen dly and diligently got into bed.
Although Pei Zhen¡¯s 1.8 meter-frame was supported by a proportionate bone structure, he looked a little thin next to Fu Sichen. Fu Sichen¡¯s top hung very loosely on Pei Zhen, ending below his butt. If he bent over slightly, it immediately exposed a t white chest in the front.
At that moment, he was looking down and reading his script. Fu Sichen took a sidelong nce and could see Pei Zhen¡¯s corbone under the roomy pajamas. His throat tightened.
Cough, cough. Fu Sichen didn¡¯t really want to be a beast given that Pei Zhen had to continue filming the next day. He walked over to Pei Zhen and straightened up his pajamas. ¡°Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned for a second and looked down. Realizing how exposing the wide cor was, he said happily, ¡°What do you think? Don¡¯t I have a stunning physique?¡±
Pei Zhen, who was grosslycking self-awareness, reminded Fu Sichen of a na?ve little white rabbit. He mindlessly yed along. ¡°Yes, excellent.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it so. I¡¯ve always known I have an exceptionally good physique, and Xiao Nian refused to believe me.¡± As he said that, he rolled up his sleeve and bent his elbow in a show of his bicep. There was only a slight swelling of soft flesh.
Embarrassed, Pei Zhen refused to give up and reached out to pull up his pajama top. ¡°Look, I do have abs.¡±
He lifted his pajama top.
There was an ab alright¡ªin a single t piece.
Thoroughly shamed, Pei Zhen covered up and turned red. ¡°Well, I¡ I used to have more definition in my abs. I did.¡±
Fu Sichen pursed his lips and looked at Pei Zhen steadily without a word. His gaze clouded over.
¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡± Pei Zhen was desperate to defend his dignity as the self-dered ¡®top¡¯. ¡°Here, feel it if you don¡¯t believe me. You can¡¯t see it, but you can feel it.¡±
Pei Zhen took and forcefully ced Fu Sichen¡¯s hand on his lower abdomen.
He was habituallyzy, and even if he were forced to exercise, he¡¯d find ways to cheat his way out.
His abdomen was soft, and even if he had ever developed any significant muscles, there wasn¡¯t a trace left.
Touching the delicate skin with his fingertips, Fu Sichen could only feel a burning furnace within, scorching the intense tightness in his body.
¡°Yes, I can feel your ab.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s voice was hoarse, and his fingers uncontrobly explored downwards. ¡°And it¡¯s hard.¡±
¡°See?¡± Although not understanding how Fu Sichen could praise him with closed eyes, it didn¡¯t stop Pei Zhen from bragging, ¡°I think they¡¯re hard too. If I exercised a little more, I¡¯m sure I could be the second Schwarzenegger¡ woohoo.¡±
Before he could finish his bragging, he suddenly felt something grab his manhood. He raised his eye to look at Pei Zhen, and Fu Sichen said in his low sultry voice oozing with appeal, ¡°Daddy Pei, I was talking about this ab.¡±

Having the vital organ of his manhood held stunned Pei Zhen. He froze and widened his eyes in shocked surprise at Fu Sichen. ¡°You¡¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression darkened, and the aura was overbearing to the point of dangerous. But the next moment, as Pei Zhen shook off his state of shock, the sense of foreboding had disappeared.
¡°What abs?¡± In an evil flick of his hand, Fu Sichen hit Pei Zhen¡¯s lower abdomen, then he straightened up and smiled. ¡°Azy person like you can only dream of abs.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Pei Zhen retorted angrily in embarrassment.
¡°You want to see abs?¡± Fu Sichen smiled slightly, and with a lift of his arms, removed his top to reveal his upper torso. ¡°This is the real Schwarzenegger II.¡±
The physique of golden ratio and a perfectly defined six-pack; Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t stop himself from reaching out for a touch.
Angry!
Pei Zhen¡¯s pride didn¡¯t allow him to express any words of awe. Embarrassed and ashamed, he red angrily at the perfect Fu Sichen. He turned around and pulled the nket over his head. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep.¡±
That action was an exact reenactment of Pei Pei the Persian cat. Covered from head to toe, it was such an adorable sight.
Unconsciously moving his Adam¡¯s apple, it took some time for Fu Sichen to stop himself from impulsively jumping onto Pei Zhen. He turned and walked towards the bathroom.
He had to exercise control.
He mustn¡¯t frighten Pei Zhen.
The Little Brat Pei liked to show off as a cool tyrant. If he were topped, he¡¯d surely fly off the handle.
The cool water from the shower head pelted down on him for a long time, but it did nothing to cool the burning desire in him. The usually civilized Best Actor Fu uncontrobly broke out in a string of swear words.
While Fu Sichen was suffering in the shower, Pei Zhen was simrly unable to fall asleep.
His mind tossed and turned, fussing around the thought of someone¡¯s perfect six-pack. He reached out to touch his own abdomen unconsciously. t and smooth, even a little soft.
Damn it.
If it went on, would it mean that he¡¯d lose his chance to be the top party?
Recalling the previous couple debate on Weibo, Pei Zhen¡¯s emotions were in turmoil. A stunner like himself couldn¡¯t possibly be the bottom party!
Since he lost out in physical prowess, would superior technical skills be the only way to salvage the situation?
The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that was the case. His eyes snapped open, and he pulled off the nket and reached for his mobile phone. He started to search.
Only, in response to a national appeal, such information, not only in the context of homosexuality¡ªeven in the context of heterosexuality, had been screened off in the interactive encyclopedia!
What else could he do?
Pei Zhen thought for a long while, and then bashfully sent Xiao Nian a message: [Young hero, it¡¯s a long night. Where can I get a manual on resolving loneliness?]
Afterining earlier that he was exhausted, the invigorated Xiao Nian responded very efficiently: [Oh, are you referring to a handjob?]
Looking at the dramatic tilde symbol, Pei Zhen could easily imagine what Xiao Nian¡¯s expression was at that moment, extremely mischievous.
At the age of 25, it was the first time in his life that he wanted such information. He felt like a teenager raging with hormones, embarrassed with curiosity. With his eyes almost shut tight, he wrote back ¡®Yes¡¯, to which the great manager Xiao replied almost instantaneously.
[Daddy, give me five minutes.]
It didn¡¯t even take five minutes¡ªin just two minutes, Pei Zhen received a huge shared resource file. With lingering fear, he nced at the bathroom door, which was tightly shut. Stealthily Pei Zhen yed the video.
¡°Yes, yes, faster¡ faster¡ ahhhh!¡±
The moment the video yed, he got an earful of sweet and unctuous groaning. Pei Zhen nced at the video¡ªtwo pale bodies greeted his vision,pletely uncensored, their expressions fake. Pei Zhen was so disgusted that he almost threw out his mobile phone.
How despicable, that horrible straight man. He actually sent a pornographic video!
Pei Zhen, who had now ced himself in the ¡®bent¡¯ category, angrily deleted the file sent by Xiao Nian.
[Dissemination of pornographic videos is illegal.]

All Xiao Nian got in return for his good intentions when he shared the mysterious file, was a good dressing down. From his character to the national agenda, and even the higher order of human thinking¡ªhe was reprimanded on all aspects.
He lookedpletely idiotic.
Xiao Nian: [Daddy, I am only fighting for the propagation of the human race!]
Sorry, Daddy will never be able to propagate.
There was no way he could get through to the straight man. Pei Zhen was emotionally exhausted and shut off his mobile. Tossing the phone aside, he knitted his brows and started to ponder.
Gay rtionships existed in the entertainment circle, Pei Zhen had more or less heard scandals about such men in the past.
Apparently, it was painful to be the bottom party. Especially if the top partycked skills, it would hurt the bottom party.
Pei Zhen was distraught. He was such a kind person that he would hesitate to hurt Best Actor Fu.
Creak.
The opening of the bathroom door interrupted Pei Zhen¡¯s thoughts. The freshly showered Fu Sichen walked out, hair still wet and a towel hung casually around his waist. He nced at Pei Zhen and smiled before walking towards the wardrobe.
¡°Still awake?¡± He opened the wardrobe door and searched through his clothes. ¡°You have to wake up early tomorrow¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sound of something solid falling onto the floor.
It was a pen.
It looked aged, and the markings on the pen surface had almost disappeared with time. However, upon seeing the pen, Pei Zhen immediately recognized it¡ªit was his.
It had been many years, back when he was in the third year of junior middle school. It was summer vacation then, and his father made the pen for him. It was unique in design¡ªthe only one in the world.
Pei Zhen, or more aptly, Pei Zhen¡¯s family, didn¡¯t care too much about the past. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t think much about keeping a broken pen, and his father had casually thrown it away.
But now¡ this¡
¡°This¡¡± Fu Sichen turned red on the tips of his ears like a child caught hiding away secrets which had been exposed. Heughed as he picked up the pen. ¡°Your father made it himself, and I just felt it was wrong to throw it out.¡±
Hence he had been keeping the pen from the time he was in the first year of high school?
Pei Zhen pulled his nket close, and his expression was unclear under the dim light and dark shadows. ¡°My father said he was still around, so I shouldn¡¯t act like he was dead.¡±
Great, Fu Sichen thought. He had secretly kept the pen, but not because he was thinking about Pei Zhen¡¯s father!
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was full of unspoken words. Pei Zhen looked at him over and over, eventually letting out an uncontroble burst of softughter. The moment heughed, Fu Sichen too startedughing.
Normally, Fu Sichen was cold and tense, and considerably guarded with few words or smiles. When he saw the corners of his lips upturned, it mesmerized Pei Zhen.
How stunning.
His boyfriend was unbelievably good-looking!
Pei Zhen was determined to treat Fu Sichen well, exceptionally well!
As he made that silent decision, suddenly Fu Sichen¡¯s words came to mind¡
Pei Zhen, you will never know how long I¡¯ve loved you.
Pei Zhen pursed his lips, his heart full of warmth, and he was even at the verge of tearing up. ¡°Fu Sichen, are you afraid of pain?¡±
Fu Sichen looked surprised at the question.
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Pei Zhen assured him. ¡°I won¡¯t use too much force.¡±
Fu Sichen was stunned by what Pei Zhen said.
Pei Zhen started to get worried looking at Fu Sichen. A sense of uneasiness was growing, and it was getting stronger.
There was no more talking for the rest of the night; it was considerably peaceful.
Only, when he woke up in the morning, Pei Zhen found himself nestled in Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace. It caused him some shyness and embarrassment.
Shyness, from the close rtionship.
Embarrassment, because he was the one being embraced.
How could that happen?
Pei Zhen lifted his arm and embraced Fu Sichen instead.

After the lights went off and Pei Zhen had fallen asleep, Fu Sichen, who looked liked he was sleeping, opened his eyes again.
Stretching out his long arm, he pulled Pei Zhen into his embrace. After enduring, for what seemed like forever, he was like a possessed man. Lowering his head, he kissed Pei Zhen.
He kissed him from his pretty brows to his soft lips.
Then it got addictive, to the point that Pei Zhen expressed annoyance in his dream state. Only then did Fu Sichen let go of him.
It was a dreamless night, a rare opportunity for a peaceful and secure rest. Being awake again, Fu Sichen felt a hand ced around his waist, and his head moved downwards gently.
Nose pressed against someone¡¯s chest, he was almost unable to breathe.
Fu Sichen almost choked out of his sleep.
He opened his eyes and lifted his head, looking into Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes.
Pei Zhen¡¯s body was straight and stiff, like a pencil, right down to his foot. He very diligently put on a pose of embracing someone. Even when Fu Sichen looked at him, he offered a casual smile.
¡°Good morning, precious.¡±
Fu Sichen was at a loss for words.
He didn¡¯t look too happy. ¡°What did you call me?¡±
¡°Hey.¡± Pei Zhen didn¡¯t loosen his embrace, stubbornly keeping up the dignified air of the top party. ¡°Precious has got quite a temper first thing in the morning.¡±
Fu Sichen was tempted to hit him.
He finally understood what the out-of-sorts feeling from the night before was about.
Pei Zhen wanted to be the one on top, to be in the top party position in their rtionship.
¡°What are you saying, my love.¡± Fu Sichen forced a smile and removed Pei Zhen¡¯s hand from his waist. ¡°Seeing you first thing in the morning is more than I can ask for, why would I be grouchy?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t It.¡± Pei Zhen smiled happily and rested his chin on one hand. Thenguid posture made him look quite enchanting. ¡°I¡¯m also happy to see you.¡±
Fu Sichen paused.
After the pause, his heart was once again overflowing with joy, and naturally, he started to smile. However, he immediately pursed his lips, then turned over and got out of bed.
¡°Pei Pei.¡±
Pei Zhen looked at the man standing next to the bed. ¡°Huh?¡±
Fu Sichen immediately bent over, using one hand to encircle Pei Zhen¡¯s waist and the other to tuck behind his knees. With a heave, he lifted all of Pei Zhen¡¯s 1.8-meter frame in a princess hug.
Pei Zhen was aghast.
At once, he started to struggle and turned red in the face. ¡°Freaking hell, let me go! You, you bastard¡¡±
¡°Good morning.¡± Fu Sichen smiled gently, lowering his head and nting a kiss on Pei Zhen¡¯s soft lips. ¡°A kiss for my unique precious one.¡±
Pei Zhen was stunned.
His heart began to beat wildly, as though it was about to explode.
Xiao Nian hade over to pick up Pei Zhen. The moment he entered the apartment, he saw his Daddy Pei red in the face and misty-eyed, he even had a gash on his lip.
Shocked, Xiao Nian nced at the opened windows around the apartment and reminded, ¡°Best Actor Fu, even though it¡¯s the tail end of Summer, the fact is that it¡¯s still Summer. You should shut the windows at night so that Pei Pei won¡¯t be bitten by mosquitoes.¡±
It was only when Xiao Nian gave the reminder that Pei Zhen felt the slight pain on his lip, and gave the inflictor of the gash a dirty look.
¡°Okay.¡± The inflictor squinted his eyes, unable to hide his cheekiness. ¡°I¡¯ll take note of that.¡±
Pei Zhen was about to leave for filming and Fu Sichen, as the new boyfriend, wanted to apany him. Xiao Nian thought it was strange, even if he held status as one of the film¡¯s producers.
They all got into the car, right after which, in his usual manner, Pei Zhen stretched out his legs and shut his eyes for a nap. Not long after, his mobile vibrated.
Initially, Pei Zhen wanted to ignore it, but the other party continuously sent messages as though obsessed with an immediate response.
Devastation.
When Pei Zhen finally took an impatient nce at his mobile phone, it was even more devastating.
Chapter 163 - You Are Now a Man with a Boyfriend
Chapter 163: You Are Now a Man with a Boyfriend
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The message was from Fu Sichen.
He was sitting just opposite, and yet he insisted on using text messages to remind Pei Zhen of his concerns.
[Focus on filming, you are not to exchange any flirtatious nces with anyone else.]
[You are not allowed to give guidance, or pinch anyone¡¯s chin!]
[You are now a man with a boyfriend.]
[I¡¯m watching your every move.]
Pei Zhen read with disbelief.
What the hell.
He rolled his eyes angrily and decided to ignore Fu Sichen, the mad man. With a stony expression, he threw the phone at Fu Sichen,id back, and continued to sleep.
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t understand what it was all about.
He looked at Fu Sichen who had calmly picked up and kept Pei Zhen¡¯s phone and then at Pei Zhen who was pretending to sleep. Suddenly he was gripped with fear.
Crap! Crap! Crap!
He was Pei Zhen¡¯s manager, and even if Pei Zhen didn¡¯t wish to hold his mobile phone, surely he should have handed it over to his manager and not Fu Sichen?!
The way he saw it, Fu Sichen had kept Pei Zhen¡¯s mobile like it was the most natural thing in the world. Not only that, he had even shifted his position so that he was sitting right up next to Pei Zhen and leaned Pei Zhen¡¯s head against his shoulders.
Xiao Nian was bbergasted.
Get lost! Didn¡¯t he know that Pei Zhen didn¡¯t like to be touched?! He was asking to be beaten up!
But in reality, the hassled Daddy Pei only mumbled a ¡®bother¡¯ and continued sleeping. When he was getting out of the car, he evenined something about the ¡®ufortably hard shoulder¡¯.
Fu Sichen lowered his gaze andughed softly when he heard it. The two of them walked ahead talking, but Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t make out what the discussion was about. At a nce, one could almost see sweet pink bubbles floating around them, but it all looked like a horror movie to him.
Crap, what pink bubbles?
It was just a few days ago that the bastard had a brawl with Daddy Pei and hit him.
Daddy Pei was a vindictive person and was most likely strategizing to appease Fu Sichen so that thetter would let his guards down, and when that happened, Daddy Pei would then make a deadly attack!
Xiao Nian happily imagined all sorts of dramatic andplex plots; they even seemed reasonable and logical to him. Eventually, it became obvious from his expression that he was gloating at Fu Sichen¡¯s predicted ending.
Fu Sichen was none the wiser.
He sent Pei Zhen yet another message: [Your manager seems a little loopy.]
Pei Zhen jabbed impatiently at his mobile: [Why can¡¯t you just talk normally and insist on texting? You¡¯re the loopy one.]
Fu Sichenughed, his eye like half moons: [Words will disappear right after they¡¯re said, you¡¯d no longer see or hear them.]
That was the difference with texting.
Every little thing that happened between Pei Zhen and himself he wanted to stow away in his treasure trove.
Realizing Fu Sichen¡¯s between-the-lines message, Pei Zhen blushed and mouthed the words¡¯ super silly¡¯, but a smile had already spread across his face.
That silly man, who collects texts, he could use voice messages in the future.
Idol shows,pared with other genres of shows, required less time toplete. One just needed to study the script and plot. Leveraging on the strength of the Best Actor candidate, and assuming the others were doing their bit, the filming would be rtively simple.
Initially, Fu Sichen was on the set every day. However, it became impossibleter on.
Wang Youquan got angry and was insanely anxious.
Having been reprimanded, he headed straight to the filming location to hunt down Fu Sichen so that they would be in time to start work and ept assignments.
Although he had to take on assignments, when Pei Zhen hadpleted filming, Fu Sichen was still the first to call him. ¡°All done?¡±
Pei Zhen was lying on the couch in the resting room. Xiao Nian and the film crew staff were chatting casually. He lifted his head, andzily swept his eyes over the group. ¡°Yes.¡±
The man on the other end of the lineughed. ¡°Are you free tonight?¡±
¡°Not tonight.¡± Pei Zhen rolled his eyes as he recalled Xiao Nian¡¯s advice. ¡°I have to have dinner with the filming crew.¡±
¡°Oh, so when do you n to spend some time with your boyfriend?¡±

The boyfriend was truly troublesome.
It wasn¡¯t as if they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time.
Although there was filming every day, when they both got home, they still had time to be with each other.
Speaking of which¡ he hadn¡¯t evened the score with Fu Sichen for the princess hug. It was high time to teach the boyfriend who was the top party and who was the bottom party.
But that was just what Pei Zhen thought; his action betrayed him as he punched out the details of the night¡¯s social event on his mobile and sent them to Fu Sichen.
In the entertainment circle, there was never ack of social events.
Although Pei Zhen waszy, he was street smart and knew he had to y his part.
He was quick to get into character when acting and had good technical skills. Hence even though he had more scenes to cover, hepleted them ahead of the other actors.
As the Best Actor candidate, he had to do the necessary niceties to secure his own future. Hence, he hosted the banquet.
Xiao Nian had booked a private function room at the hotel restaurant earlier on. The group of them drank a lot and ate very little, inevitably getting themselves quite intoxicated.
Drunk.
Pei Zhen had a few sses, and his face was flushed, his peach blossom eyes heavy. At a nce, he was irresistibly charming.
¡°Pei Zhen, I¡¯ve not seen a person more suitable to be an actor than you,¡± said the drunk director, who was speaking quite frivolously. ¡°I¡ I believe you¡¯ll surely get the Best Actor award.¡±
Pei Zhen acknowledged thement in a distracted manner. He nced at his mobile now and then. Pei Zhen had a proud disposition and spoke arrogantly, ¡°Of course, being such an aplished actor.¡±
Everyone was taken aback by the response and immediatelyughed.
¡°Indeed the Pei Zhen we know, and only you¡¯d have that level of self-confidence.¡±
¡°Haha, that¡¯s what he himself says, and it¡¯d also be Pei Zhen alone who dares to be confrontational with the reporters.¡±
¡°Previously there was a reporter who mistook a young actor for Pei Zhen and what did Pei Zhen say to the reporter?¡±
¡°Are you blind, or are you having a brain¡¡±
Everyone was waiting for the word ¡®fart¡¯, but Pei Zhen suddenly jumped when his mobile on the table vibrated.
As expected, it was Fu Sichen: [I¡¯m at the hotel entrance.]
Pei Zhen immediately got up, his sudden movement inadvertently causing the table behind to sway and topple over with a crash, waking up a few drunk people. Everyone looked at Pei Zhen in surprise and saw a gentle smile spread across his face.
¡°Sorry, I need the bathroom.¡±
Saying that and ignoring the reaction of the crowd, Pei Zhen swept out of the room like a gust of wind.
The door opened and shut, Pei Zhen had disappeared. The director hesitated for a while and pulled Xiao Nian aside to speak privately. ¡°Mr. Xiao, is Pei Zhen in love?¡± He then revealed that a friend¡¯s daughter had wanted to know Pei Zhen¡¯s avability status.
Xiao Nian was rather drunk and blurry-eyed. ¡°No, Pei Pei is like me, a swinging bachelor.¡±
The director was suitably pleased to hear that.
But what Xiao Nian, the straightest man in the universe didn¡¯t realize, was that his Daddy Pei had secretly been seeing somebody and was as bent as a mosquito coil.
As Pei Zhen reached the back entrance of the hotel, he was suddenly grabbed and pulled into the murky darkness. Following that, an intense kiss pressed against his lips.
That familiar breath. The moment their lips met, they started to lose control.
How strange.
Was heterosexual love just as murky?
¡°Stop. Stop kissing¡¡± Pei Zhen felt the blood rushing to his face, and his body was giving way. His voice was hoarse like his throat was on fire. It aroused Fu Sichen even more.
Fu Sichen encircled his arms around Pei Zhen and drew him close,ughing as he teased, ¡°Just one more kiss.¡±
¡°No, more kissing and things will get out of control.¡± Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t even figured out exactly how things between two men worked. ¡°I don¡¯t want it to be painful for you.¡±
Fu Sichen froze at the mention of that.

What the hell.
Fu Sichen felt that things had arrived at the point where he needed to reinforce his position as the top party.
After all, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t have his little boyfriend thinking of himself as the top party all the time.
With one hand, Fu Sichen was about to pinch Pei Zhen¡¯s waist to show him in action what a real man was. Only, at the same time, they heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
¡°Drink¡ let¡¯s continue drinking.¡±
¡°General Manager Tian, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then, for the project in Xin Cheng.
¡°Hahaha, no worries, no worries.¡±
The two drunk men walked out, leaning on each other. A couple shed past before them, but their eyes were blurry from too much alcohol. When they looked again, there was no one around.
Silence.
They had a fright.
When Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen walked out of the hotel holding hands, the street was quiet.
Pei Zhen¡¯s full focus was on his boyfriend, and thoughts of the dinner crowd were far behind him. He walked hand-in-hand with Fu Sichen on the street, casting a sidelong nce at the man every now and then. He couldn¡¯t help breaking into a smile.
Before looking for Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen had put on a light disguise to hide his identity.
He wore dark sses and a mask over the lower half of his face, and clothes he¡¯d not normally wear. If one didn¡¯t pay attention, it would be quite difficult to tell he was Best Actor Fu.
Unable to resist, Pei Zhen continued to steal nces. Fu Sichen found it both heartwarming and funny.
¡°What are you looking at?¡±
After a few more looks from Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t take it. He grabbed Pei Zhen¡¯s hand and halted.
¡°You can¡¯t even see your boyfriend¡¯s handsome face clearly.¡±
For unknown reasons, even though Fu Sichen was wearing dark sses, Pei Zhen could feel the warmth of his lingering gaze. Despite the flush spreading over his face, he retorted arrogantly, ¡°Of course I can. And yes, you¡¯re almost as handsome as I am.¡±
The brat¡
Fu Sichen nearly burst outughing. Without saying another word, he took off his dark sses and mask. He looked straight at Pei Zhen and took a good measure of the man before him.
¡°My little boyfriend is dashing indeed, more so than I.¡±
Pei Zhen glowed at being acknowledged, but before he could gloat about it further, Fu Sichen had ced the dark sses on him and said, ¡°You¡¯re so dashing that I¡¯m not going to have everyone looking at you.¡±
As though the dark sses were not enough, Fu Sichen strapped his mask onto Pei Zhen¡¯s face. Only when he saw that Pei Zhen was properly covered-up was he content.
¡°Only I can look at you.¡±
Pei Zhen was both amused and exasperated.
The twist of events waspletely unexpected.
Pei Zhen had never liked wearing masks as he felt they made breathing difficult. However, Fu Sichen¡¯s mask was different¡ªit held the unique yet familiar scent of the man. As though it was a subconscious reaction, Pei Zhen secretly took in a deep and long breath.
¡°Where are we going next?¡± A gust of wind tousled Pei Zhen¡¯s soft hair. Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t stop himself from reaching out for a touch¡ªit was silky. ¡°Did you eat?¡±
¡°Yes, I did.¡± Pei Zhen nodded, but then thought for a bit and shook his head. ¡°I only ate a little.¡±
¡°So, you¡¯re learning to care for me?¡± Fu Sichen knew that Pei Zhen was trying to lose weight for his next film and was strict with his diet; he only said he ate a little so that Fu Sichen could have dinner too. Fu Sichen took a step forward, closing the distance between them. ¡°The Little Brat has grown up?¡±
Little Brat Pei proudly lifted his chin and replied, ¡°I¡¯ve grown bigger than you could imagine. Yes, I can even provide for you without a problem.¡±
Fu Sichen lifted an eyebrow. ¡°Oh? And how exactly will you provide for me?¡±
¡°Haven¡¯t you offended half the entertainment circle?¡± Pei Zhen was marveling at his own ability to n ahead. ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, I can bring home the dough.¡±
On hearing that, Fu Sichen immediately felt that something was amiss. Along with that was the recollection that Pei Zhen had even thought of himself as the top party. Fu Sichenughed icily. ¡°Oh, if you bring home the dough, then what about me?¡±
¡°You can be in charge of warming the bed.¡±

Pei Zhen thought of himself as the best man of the century.
He was good-looking, responsible, perceptive, and very attentive.
Even if Fu Sichen had really offended half the entertainment circle, he¡¯d find a way for Fu Sichen to have a sense of achievement so that he wouldn¡¯t think of himself as useless.
¡°Only¡¡± Where warming the bed was concerned, everything was ready with one exception. Pei Zhen rubbed his chin, and a look of guilt came over him. ¡°I recently¡ hmm, anyway, don¡¯t you worry. I will carry out my duties as a man.¡±
Fu Sichen could only smirk. ¡°Huh, making sure that it wouldn¡¯t be painful for me?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± said Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen was speechless.
He wanted to say, that¡¯s right my foot!
Fu Sichen felt that, to an extent, he was also at fault for allowing the misunderstanding that Pei Zhen had.
He hadn¡¯t been clear with Pei Zhen, he hadn¡¯t drawn the lines, and he was too subtle in his expression. He should have been more aggressive and just topped the guy from the start.
¡°Hungry?¡± Pei Zhen held Fu Sichen¡¯s hand and gave it a swing. ¡°You came over in such a rush, so you must be hungry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡± He had a million thoughts in his head, however the moment he looked at Pei Zhen, he couldn¡¯t help but soften. ¡°Pei Pei, do you want to watch a movie?¡±
The dating strategy¡ªFu Sichen, the newbie to falling in love, had borrowed advice from the interactive encyclopedia.
There were thousands of strange and intriguing dating ideas in the encyclopedia. However, there was no escape from the ssic progression of having a meal, watching a movie, and then¡ hitting the bed.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t bother toe up with any noble or grand reasons. In any case, his ultimate goal was thest step.
Because of that, he skipped the ¡®having a meal¡¯ step and grudgingly slowed down so that they could go through the ¡®watching a movie¡¯ step¡ªwhich was already very gentlemanly of Fu Sichen.
Pei Zhen initially felt that watching a movie was quite meaningless, but on further thoughts¡ªgiven their current status¡ªgoing to a shopping mall was only asking for trouble. So, he nodded his head to the movie suggestion.
The two took a side street to the cinema. En route, Pei Zhen even voluntarily bought a bottle of C.
¡°How could we watch a movie without C?¡± Apart from C, Pei Zhen was hugging a packet of Spicy Strips. ¡°It¡¯s no fun not having popcorn.¡±
Fu Sichen nced at the packet of Spicy Strips that Pei Zhen had just pushed into his arms. In the end, he pursed his lips and smiled, saying nothing.
When they reached the cinema, they picked a show and bought tickets. When Fu Sichen reached into his pocket for his credit card, Pei Zhen instead quickly paid with his mobile phone. ¡°Let me pay, I¡¯ve got money.¡±
Fu Sichen fell silent.
Great. The little brat hadpletely bought into the idea that he was providing for Fu Sichen.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the movie was starting, Fu Sichen would have given Pei Zhen a good earful.
The movie, which they had so carelessly chosen, turned out to be a horror film.
To create a scary atmosphere, the cinema had put in considerable efforts and decorated the entry passageway to make it look eerie and dark.
The dark created a sense of panic, but the dark also provided opportunities for boldness.
While they had to suppress themselves in public and refrain from holding hands, there in the dark, Fu Sichen¡¯s fingertips brushed over Pei Zhen¡¯s, teasing and stroking¡ªit didn¡¯t take Pei Zhen long to sumb.
Thetter reached out with his hand, curling his little finger around Fu Sichen¡¯s, and gradually they settled down, palm to palm.
The sweet taste of being in love.
There was a sizeable crowd in the theatre, and because Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen bought their ticketsst-minute, they found themselves in quite remote seats.
Fu Sichen was delighted they ended up in a little forsaken corner.
Who cared about the movie? In the dark, holding hands, exchanging kisses without fear of things heating up¡ªit was the perfect lead-up to what shoulde next!

Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t too interested in the movie initially, but it turned out that it had excellent direction and an intricate plot that drew in the audience.
Hence after taking his seat and an initially-disinterested nce at the screen, Pei Zhen was hooked.
Of course, that didn¡¯t serve Fu Sichen, who almost died.
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t exactly interested in the details of the movie. Once in a while, a disheveled woman appeared on the screen, and Fu Sichen didn¡¯t blink an eye.
¡°Who is this woman?¡±
Fu Sichen asked apletely random question as he reached out for Pei Zhen¡¯s hand, ¡°Why is she appearing again?¡±
¡°She¡¯s the female lead,¡± replied Pei Zhen.
Their hands were about to meet, but Fu Sichen froze and said in a low, embarrassed tone, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just testing you.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes. Did Fu Sichen really think he had such low IQ?
It was pitch ck in the theatre, and the only light came from the movie screen.
Although the movie itself wasn¡¯t exceptionally scary, the repetitive shrieks in the theatre amplified the sense of fear.
When the girl sitting in front let out a sharp scream, Pei Zhen yed along and gave the asional blood-curdling screech.
¡°Crap! Do her in; this is too scary!¡±
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t quite sure how to react.
But quickly, he followed suit. ¡°That¡¯s right; that¡¯s right¡ªgo on, leadingdy, do her in!¡±
¡°¡ I was rather hoping that the leadingdy would die,¡± Pei Zhen said.
Fu Sichen fell silent for a moment.
Not knowing what to say next, he frustratingly downed a mouthful of C. Reaching out for the bottle, he realized it was empty.
The end goal of the night was to end up in bed, but before the battle had even warmed up, it had fallen t at the movie stage!
It didn¡¯t matter how most people would feel after watching a two-hour horror movie, but Pei Zhen was most satisfied.
The closing soundtrack marked the end of the movie, and the lights in the theatre were about to turn on. Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to linger, so he quickly pulled Fu Sichen behind him as they made their getaway.
¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect the movie to be so interesting.¡±
Fu Sichen bit into a Spicy Strip resentfully and forced a smile. ¡°Uh huh.¡±
¡°The twist at the end was too interesting.¡± Pei Zhen was still wound up in the movie plot andpletely neglected his boyfriend¡¯s annoyance and gloom. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that she¡¯d survive in the end.¡±
¡°Huh, she¡¯s the leadingdy, of course she wouldn¡¯t die. Isn¡¯t that a given?¡± said Fu Sichen, who hadn¡¯t paid attention throughout the whole movie.
¡°I¡¯m not talking about the leadingdy. I¡¯m talking about her good friend¡ªshe didn¡¯t die,¡± Pei Zhen replied.
Fu Sichen had lost the plot.
For goodness¡¯ sake, what sort of freaking movie was that? Why did the leadingdy seem to be ying him out?!
¡°Cough cough.¡± The atmosphere had be a little embarrassing, and Pei Zhen tried to change the topic and thought perhaps he could rave about the Spicy Strips. However, when he looked down, he realized that the packet was empty. Suddenly, he understood.
He realized why his boyfriend looked so annoyed; he must have been hungry!
He had a rim of oil around his mouth, and it was an angry red. He must have overdosed on the Spicy Strips.
¡°You should have said so if you were hungry.¡± Pei Zhen coughed and mocked Fu Sichen in a friendly manner. ¡°Precious, what would you like to eat?¡±
Best Actor Fu¡¯s face was dark as a kettle. ¡°You.¡±
Pei Zhen stopped for a bit, and a strange expression came over his face. ¡°You really want to eat¡¡±
Fu Sichen took a step towards him, and said in a firm and assertive tone, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯d like to eat you!¡±
Silence.
Eventually, Pei Zhen could not resist taking Fu Sichen to a restaurant, aptly named ¡°Ni¡± (You).
¡°Here. All sorts of Ni, take your pick.¡±
He stumped Fu Sichen beyond words.

Ni.
It was a high-end specialty restaurant serving a broad range of indigenous food¡ªfor example, Mud-Baked Beggar¡¯s Chicken and Mud-Wrapped Barbeque Goat, to name a few.
Foreigners mostly patronized the restaurant. It wasn¡¯t that the locals didn¡¯t eat there, but most people wouldn¡¯t be able to afford that sort of lifestyle.
Fu Sichen looked through the menu. Indeed there were hundreds of dishes, and all of them were rather unique. A part of him was angry to the point of being murderous.
But who exactly was he angry with, he wasn¡¯t quite sure himself. In the end, his primary concern was still Pei Zhen, and he ordered a few dishes ording to Pei Zhen¡¯s taste.
¡°You have to eat some even if you¡¯re trying to lose weight.¡±
¡°Cut down on the wine though, leave the entertainment to Xiao Nian to handle.¡±
¡°Even if I¡¯m not by your side, you have to look after yourself.¡±
The attentiveness of Fu Sichen touched Pei Zhen and warmed his heart. To give Best Actor Fu a surprise, he even secretly paid the dinner bill in advance.
When Fu Sichen wanted to make payment for dinner, the waiter told him that it had been paid already. That was another blow that seemed to havee from nowhere. How infuriating!
¡°Have you finished your dinner?¡± Pei Zhen, who had just returned from the toilet, gave Fu Sichen a wink and added seductively, ¡°Boyfriend.¡±
¡°Done,¡± Fu Sichen said with a quick smile. Feeling extremely dissatisfied, he said, ¡°My big precious one.¡±
The two left the restaurant hand-in-hand as Fu Sichen called the assistant for a pick-up. As the car drove away, Pei Zhen had the mood to joke. ¡°Damn, I forgot to pay the bill!¡±
Fu Sichen almost rolled his eyes. ¡°Oh, really. I didn¡¯t either.¡±
The acting expert Number Two Man Pei acted out with deep feelings, prodding Fu Sichen to y along with the line ¡®Let¡¯s return to the restaurant then¡¯. At that juncture, Pei Zhen proudly raised his peach blossom eyes and said, ¡°Haha, I had already paid when you weren¡¯t looking.¡±
Fu Sichen rolled his eyes.
Initially intending to ignore the annoying man, Fu Sichen ultimately caved in and softened up when he saw that Pei Zhen was earnestly looking for a word of praise.
¡°I am the perfect boyfriend.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, you are excellent.¡±
¡°Thank you. The meal was delicious.¡±
Who said Fu Sichen didn¡¯t know how to be a subtle flirt? He was highly proficient if he chose to do it!
Pei Zhen started off feeling conceited and arrogant as the praises started, but gradually, Fu Sichen¡¯s seductive and hoarse voice started to get to him¡ªhe could feel his face heating up.
¡°Pei Pei, I like you more every day.¡±
When thest words were said, Pei Pei turnedpletely red, and his heart was racing. He nced at Fu Sichen, then quickly looked away shyly and pretended that everything was as usual.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡±
Fu Sichen called out to him again, his eyes burning. He reached out and drew Pei Zhen into his embrace in one swift movement.
Lifting Pei Zhen¡¯s chin with his hand, his gaze naturally fell on Pei Zhen¡¯s lips. Unable to hold himself back, Fu Sichen tilted his head forward and kissed the man.
First, it was a light kiss like how a dragonfly would skim the surface of the water; subsequently, Fu Sichen bit the corners of his lips. Pei Zhen¡¯s mouth was parted by the passionate and forceful French kiss, leaving a trail of zing desire.
It was getting to be more than Pei Zhen could handle.
Especially when the assistant, who was just in front of them, discovered something going on between the two. She couldn¡¯t hide her reaction and sucked in her breath sharply, almost driving off course. Immediately Pei Zhen turned red.
¡°Hey.¡± He said with a voice wrapped in heat. The tips of Pei Zhen¡¯s ears were on fire. ¡°T-there¡¯s someone around¡¡±
Daddy Pei was arrogant.
But while he had no qualms admitting the rtionship between Fu Sichen and himself, he was still unable toe out in front of other people in such a manner.
¡°You¡,¡± Lifting his head to look at the assistant in the front seat, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Get out.¡±

The young assistant scrambled out of the car in a panic.
On the one hand, she was shocked that the two were together; on the other hand, Fu Sichen¡¯s icy expression scared her.
Deep and brooding, icily intense but emotionless. He was dark and ambiguous.
The young assistant, who got out of the car, gloomily stood outside in the cold wind for quite a while. Eventually, she snapped out of her shock.
Best Actor Fu was not ambiguous, of course. He only directed the iciness at her!
The deep intense emotions were for Pei Zhen only.
He asked her to leave because he was ying gooseberry. Fu Sichen went over to the front seat.
The two in the car didn¡¯t have to say a word, but from how quickly the vehicle sped away, it was apparent they couldn¡¯t wait to be alone.
Was it nervousness or desire?
How Fu Sichen was feeling, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t tell. Pei Zhen¡¯s body tensed to the point of stiffness, and he didn¡¯t know what to do.
A million thoughts were going through his head.
He was contemting a whole lot of things, like where to go next, what to do, whether it would have anything to do with THAT.
But what were the actual steps of making love with another man? A kiss first, then lie on his back, and then what?
With only what he had managed to find on the inte as a reference, Pei Zhen went through the information in his mind, and as he did so, he turned red in the face.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s deep voice interrupted Pei Zhen¡¯s thoughts. Pei Zhen stopped for a bit, looked up, and realized they were at the hotel.
Only, it wasn¡¯t the familiar hotel where Fu Sichen had a serviced apartment; it was another hotel.
That caught Pei Zhen by surprise. ¡°Why are we here?¡±
¡°If it were possible, we¡¯d do it right now in the car,¡± Fu Sichen replied.
¡°You¡ you¡¯re so anxious.¡± Pei Zhen stammered.
It left Fu Sichen stumped speechless.
Yes, he was anxious, but when that statement came from Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen felt that the guy was off-track again. Otherwise, how would he have had that gleam in eyes and the look of one who was thinking of how to go about topping him.
Just wait.
Fu Sichen silently gave himself a few stern words and then shut the car door. He led the way into the hotel.
Expectedly, as he walked in, Pei Zhen followed behind.
The two took the elevator and went up to their room. Little Brat Pei looked casual and rxed outwardly, but inside he was as nervous as anything. As he watched Fu Sichen walk towards the bed, he steeled himself and gave himself a little psych up, then he flew at Fu Sichen, almost knocking the man over.
It was definitely a far more enthusiastic Pei Zhen than normal.
Thee-on was quite aggressive and caused Fu Sichen to stagger backward before both of them fell onto the bed.
Pei Zhen¡¯s face was flushed red. He reached out with one hand and lifted Fu Sichen¡¯s chin, kissing him on the corner of his mouth. ¡°Rx. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
Fu Sichen almost rolled his eyes.
He felt Pei Zhen¡¯s other hand on his waist unconsciously tighten. Fu Sichen squinted and then gave a light-heartedugh.
¡°Okay.¡± Best Actor Fu half-smiled. ¡°Pei Pei, I¡¯ll leave this to you.¡±
As if being bestowed with a great purpose, it moved Pei Zhen moved to tears.
Fu Sichen was so good to him!
Fu Sichen was simple and pure!
Fu Sichen was so dashing!
Having heard that it could be painful for the bottom party, Pei Zhen cautiously kissed Fu Sichen. He slipped his hand under the edge of Fu Sichen¡¯s shirt and reached upwards. Fu Sichen¡¯s six-pack felt so good that he couldn¡¯t bear to move his hand away.
¡°First a kiss¡¡± Pei Zhen turned over andid on top of Best Actor Fu, his hand wandering unrestrained over Fu Sichen¡¯s body. Then he stopped, asking, ¡°How on earth do you train to get these?¡±
Pei Zhen was unable to hide his envy, asking Fu Sichen the amount of exercise needed to get this sort of results. Pei Zhen¡¯s touching already aroused Fu Sichen. He made an annoyed sound and looked at Pei Zhen with a burning gaze. ¡°Are you going to get on with it?¡±
If Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t, then it was going to be his turn¡

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was indeed a good thing that his young boyfriend liked his physique.
However, the fact that Pei Zhen would want to discuss training tactics in the heat of passion worried him.
His young boyfriend looked experienced, but in reality, he was naive and innocent. Even when he kissed, it was just on the edge of Fu Sichen¡¯s lips. Though, it was more provoking than anything Fu SIchen had experienced.
Fu Sichen unconsciously clenched his fists, trying to endure the burning desire. When Fu Sichen said that he wanted to take over, Pei Zhen almost couldn¡¯t bear to stop.
¡°Oh, okay.¡± Thinking of how anxious Fu Sichen was when they were in the car, Pei Zhen was quite smug.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I guarantee you extreme pleasure.¡±
He bent over to kiss Fu Sichen, not noticing thetter rolling his eyes.
Pei Zhen undid Fu Sichen¡¯s shirt buttons as his kisses traveled downwards. A touch here and there¡ But the moment his hands were on Fu Sichen¡¯s pants, he found he could go no further.
¡°Hey?¡± Fu Sichen was smiling. ¡°Not getting on with it?¡±
The moment he thought of Fu Sichen¡¯s nakedness, Pei Zhen turned red in his face. ¡°I¡¡±
¡°Can¡¯t do it?¡±
¡°No! Of course not!¡± There was nothing a man couldn¡¯t do. The red-faced Pei Zhen continued, ¡°Only¡ only¡ don¡¯t you think we¡¯re going too fast?¡±
¡°Fast?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze was scorching, but his tone was unhurried as always. ¡°Darling, I¡¯ve loved you for so many years.¡±
After such a long time of waiting and restraining, all he wanted to do was to eat Pei Zhen alive then and there.
¡°Well¡ then¡¡± The pure and innocent newbie, Daddy Pei, was nervous and blushing. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll kiss you some more.¡±
At that point, Fu Sichen could no longer keep a straight face and burst outughing. With a flip of his taut body, he turned over andid on top of Pei Zhen.
¡°Look at you,¡± said the devastating stunner, his hoarse voice oozing with appeal, ¡°So amazingly adorable.¡±
Their faces were barely inches apart. As their breaths met, Pei Zhen felt himself heating up. ¡°I¡ I¡¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s lower torso was throbbing and burning, the desire spreading throughout his body, causing his brain to draw a nk. He wasn¡¯t even conscious of the fact that he was in the bottom position. ¡°Fu¡ Fu¡¡±
¡°Pei Zhen.¡± Fu Sichen responded with mind-shattering kisses¡ªon Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes, the tip of his nose, and then the corner of his mouth. His intense passion culminated in whispers of his lover¡¯s name.
¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen¡¡±
Every whisper of his name made Pei Zhen¡¯s heart beat a little faster, and Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the sound of his own name.
With one hand grabbing Pei Zhen¡¯s waist, Fu Sichen¡¯s movements were quick and arousing. Pei Zhen¡¯s body was flushed, as were his face and corners of his eyes. His reaction further provoked Fu Sichen, who asked in his deep sultry voice, ¡°Pei Zhen¡ is it okay?¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s body was trembling, his half-closed peach blossom eyes viewing Fu Sichen through a blurry mist caused by strange desires. Obviously, he still didn¡¯t understand Fu Sichen¡¯s question, or what it meant.
Fu Sichen found his restraint sumbing, and his hand moved downwards until it was resting on Pei Zhen¡¯s swelling manhood. He closed his palm around it and gave a tender squeeze, his deep-set eyes burning as he looked at Pei Zhen. ¡°Is it okay?¡±
Pei was stunned.
He suddenly understood. He interjected and widened his eyes. ¡°You!¡±
He had trusted Fu Sichen to be the attentive boyfriend, but Fu Sichen was about to top him!
Bottom party?
It had nothing to do with liking or otherwise, it was about being a man!
¡°Hey, you¡ you¡¡±
Pei Zhen was too shocked for words. He struggled to get up, despite how strong Fu Sichen, the scum, was. He was going to raise his voice, but at that time, the phone rang.
It was Xiao Nian.

Xiao Nian was furious.
In a sh, his Daddy Pei had disappeared from the banquet event. He had questioned the hotel staff, and they said someone had paid the bill.
But so what if that was the case!?
¡°Pei Zhen! Where on earth are you! You¡¯rezy and ck, and you just can¡¯t be bothered!¡±
Xiao Nian called the missing Pei Zhen on the phone, sounding furious. Only, he hadn¡¯t expected that the call made Fu Sichen even more furious.
The moment the line got through, and before Pei Zhen could even say a word, Fu Sichen had interrupted with a very icy, ¡°Go away¡±. It gave Xiao Nian, who was on the other end of the line, a fright. Pei Zhen too was scared stiff.
Afraid that Xiao Nian would hang up, Pei Zhen immediately said, ¡°Okay, Mr. Xiao, please don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯lle back right away.¡±
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t believe what he was hearing.
It had been ages since Pei Zhen first called Xiao Nian ¡®Mr. Xiao¡¯. The first time Pei Zhen addressed him that way was when he first joined the entertainment circle.
Xiao Nian felt uneasy.
He wanted to ask Daddy Pei what was wrong, but Daddy Pei had already hung up, leaving a broken line which continued to be busy when he tried calling again.
When Xiao Nian saw Pei Zhen again, Fu Sichen apanied him, following right behind.
The expression on Best Actor Fu¡¯s face was stormy, to put it mildly, and his cold aura was so unweing that it diminished the enthusiasm of the young celebrities. No one dared to approach him.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Xiao Nian greeted Pei Zhen, and at the same time nced at Fu Sichen. ¡°Best Actor Fu¡¡±
Fu Sichen shot poisonous daggers with his eyes at Xiao Nian just as thetter started to speak. Compared to his usual frostiness, Fu Sichen looked as though he was on a mission to kill.
What was wrong with him?
Xiao Nian looked utterly baffled and nced at Pei Zhen as If pleading for help. However, his Daddy Pei had turned red in his ears and awkwardly avoided Xiao Nian¡¯s eyes.
Something didn¡¯t feel quite right to Xiao Nian. Relying on his years of experience in the entertainment industry, the great manager Xiao Nian¡¯s instinct told him that something big was about to happen. That made him feel ill at ease.
The next day, a big thing did indeed happen, and it was the paparazzi that broke the news.
¡°Best Actors couple acting intimately, a blooming romance!¡±
The eye-catching heading drew the immediate attention of countless fans and scene-watchers. Unable to resist their curiosity, they clicked to read the news.
The write-up was ambiguous, and the picture posted was blurry.
If the reporter hadn¡¯t drawn a circle around the figures In question, no one would have guessed that among the crowd in the picture, the two silhouettes in front of the snack counter were Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen.
¡°Late night date!¡±
¡°Date over a C Drink!¡±
¡°Dinner, movie, and what else afterward!¡±
The report wrote in a serious tone, and the treatment of the matter was professional, analyzing the possibility of coupledom.
The fans rolled their eyes on reading this article; apart from Korean idol fans, the rest of the readers had the urge to retaliate.
¡°Can the Best Actor and Best Actor candidate not be buddies?¡±
¡°Pei Pei works hard at filming, and can only meet up with his buddies at night. Even that should be a scandal?¡±
¡°Sichen hubby is the straightest man in the world, can we request the troublemaker not to create lies about his sexual orientation, thank you [polite smile].¡±
¡°So is our Daddy Pei! Pei Pei definitely likes girls only!¡±
The fans had seen too many such scandals and were tired of it. Especially when their statuses were on par, there was always an air ofpetition amongst the fans.
While the reporters had intended to draw eyeballs to their exciting discovery, they didn¡¯t expect that the tables would turn on them. Who knew if there was a mastermind behind it? All that came back was a load of me and criticism.

Wang Youquan ended up being the one picking up the mess.
The minute the news was out, the great manager Wang was hopping mad. He recalled the night before. Fu Sichen had skipped a movie announcement conference, citing the reason that he was unwell.
At that point, Wang Youquan was livid. ¡°You look freaking ruddy and healthy, what ailment are you suffering exactly!¡±
Without even blinking, Fu Sichen said matter-of-factly, ¡°Love-struck, you won¡¯t understand.¡±
Wang Youquan was speechless.
What the hell, he didn¡¯t want to know. The scum!
Deep in his heart, he had already known that Fu Sichen was off to look for Pei Zhen. Still, when the news came out, it made Wang Youquan¡¯s blood boil.
¡°Fine. Even if you go looking for Pei Zhen, can I ask that you be more cautious!¡±
¡°You are two grown men, aren¡¯t you afraid of being a bad influence on the younger people!¡±
¡°In bright daylight and in clear view of everyone, this sort of disy of affection is most harmful to singles!¡±
¡°That was at night, not bright daylight,¡± Fu Sichen said.
Wang Youquan was angry beyond words.
The shameless Fu Sichen, he¡¯d try to change the topic without batting an eyelid.
It was impossible to get through to Fu Sichen¡¯s thick skull. Wang Youquan had given up trying to counsel him, and at that point, he couldn¡¯t even be bothered to get angry. However, he had observed that for someone who had just gone on a date, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t look too happy.
¡°Well?¡± Wang Youquan sneered. ¡°Are you regretting it? Finally realized that men are not as soft as women?¡±
Ultimately, Pei Zhen was a man and a tall one at that. His limbs werenky and bony, how would that make him afortable person to hug.
Fu Sichen was quite offended and scoffed at Wang Youquan. His Pei Zhen was the softest, and even girls couldn¡¯t hold a torch to him!
However,pared to that, Fu Sichen was more bothered by Pei Zhen¡¯s reaction the previous night.
His young boyfriend had his pride and ego, and it seemed that he really detested being the bottom party.
There was no one whom he could share his anxiety with. Facing the nosey Wang Youquan, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t even be bothered to exin. He changed the topic. ¡°It¡¯s a rare asion that the paparazzie up with an urate report, we shouldn¡¯t try to hide the truth.¡±
What?! Wang Youquan eximed unbelievably. Trying to do his PR job seemed wrong already. Pei Zhen upied Fu Sichen entirely.
Just as Wang Youquan started to protest, Fu Sichen¡¯s phone rang. He was unusually nervous, thinking that the call was from Pei Zhen. s, the screen showed the name ¡®Xiao Longnu¡¯.
It was Pei Zhen¡¯s father.
¡°Uncle Pei.¡± Fu Sichen picked up the call. As he spoke, he recalled that Pei Zhen¡¯s mother had mentioned previously that they¡¯d be home in a month. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s father was a candid character, and very personable. Yet, with a switch of the topic, he got into the reason for the call. ¡°We will be arriving in Dong Hai City tonight.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression clouded over, and it was difficult to tell what he was thinking. ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s great. I will get in touch with Pei Zhen.¡±
¡°Yes, let Pei Pei know, but¡¡± When it came to Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen¡¯s father felt a little guilt-stricken. ¡°Sichen, perhaps, please don¡¯t let him know for now. When we get home tonight, his mother wants to give him a surprise.¡±
No matter what, parents would be parents, and they¡¯d have their child at heart. It had been an intense month of work, and they had made much progress for earlypletion. Much of it was so that they could get home to spend more time with Pei Zhen.
After Fu Sichen gave assurance that he wouldn¡¯t tell Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen¡¯s father focused on thetest scandal.
¡°What were you up tost night? Were you really on a date? Hahaha.¡±
Uncle Pei, if you knew that your son had turned gay, would you stillugh so freely?

Would they even take it seriously?
Although the scandal had spread widely, Pei Zhen¡¯s parents only dismissed it with augh and didn¡¯t take it to heart.
¡°The two of you?¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s fatherughed heartily into the phone. ¡°If you were really together, then our Pei Pei would definitely be the bottom party.¡±
He was indeed Xiao Longnu; he knew Pei Zhen so well!
Pei Zhen¡¯s father had taken the urate headlines to be a scandal and had ridiculed it at length, confident that his son Pei Pei was the straightest man in the universe. Never did he expect that the words that he was saying would be a p to his own face in the future.
Of course, that would be in hindsight.
Having given the order for the two men to be home for dinner, Pei Zhen¡¯s father hung up the phone.
Fu Sichen¡¯s emotions ran deep, and they were impossible for others to decipher. He ran his hand up and down the sides of his mobile phone, looking deep in thought.
The night before, after Pei Zhen had realized the possibility of his fate of being the bottom party, he hadn¡¯t expressed anything, but his actions had spoken for him.
He had used Xiao Nian¡¯s call as an excuse to leave the hotel, and after meeting Xiao Nian¡ªno matter how strongly Fu Sichen had hinted¡ªthe young boyfriend acted as though he had no idea what was going on.
In the end, not only did Fu Sichen fail to top Pei Zhen, he had lost the guy.
¡°Tsk.¡± Fu Sichen sighed as he thought of what happened. He anxiously hoped that his precious one wouldn¡¯t avoid him.
Pei Zhen was lying on his bed.
He snuggled under the nket with the air conditioning on. Only a tuft of his hair was visible at one end of the nket; the man was soft andzy.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Xiao Nian, the manager, was like both a father and a mother to Pei Zhen. Even when there was no filming, he¡¯d take care of the artiste¡¯s daily life, lest the guy died from being toozy to do anything for himself.
He drew apart the curtains in the room, and bright sunlight streamed in, causing the body on the bed to toss in protest.
¡°Pei Zhen!¡± Dong Hai Fairy Girl Xiao Nian Nian was most annoyed when Pei Zhen didn¡¯t stir on the first call. ¡°All you do is sleep. Do you know what time it is?¡±
Pei Zhen arched his body under the nket and made an annoyed sound. ¡°Go away.¡±
The man would get into a foul mood whenever he didn¡¯t get as much sleep as he wanted. However, Xiao Nian was well-versed in dealing with him and calmly went on to throw the windows open. He picked up the clothes that were strewn all across the floor and stuffed them into the washing machine. After that, he went into the kitchen to warm the breakfast he had bought on the way.
Xiao Nian¡¯s housekeeping activities were causing considerable noise in the room¡ªwhether intentional or not¡ªand after a while, Pei Zhen found that he could not continue sleeping. He sat up in his bed.
Obviously, this man moved around a lot in his sleep, for when he awoke, his hair was in great disarray. It made him look like a wild beast.
The Best Actor candidate squinted his peach blossom eyes from theck of sleep, one hand reaching out of the nket to pull it closer to himself. When Xiao Nian walked in, he raised his camera and, with a snap, took a picture of Pei Zhen.
Good-looking people would look good doing anything. Even when they were not looking their best or when their hair was sticking out all over. That pair of eyes was really something. With the sunlight falling onto his body, he looked both handsome and bewitching.
ncing at the picture, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but clutch at his chest as he eximed ¡®Too amazing, too amazing¡¯, at the same time punching away on the keypad to post on Weibo.
Pei Zhen¡¯s good looks were unsurpassed. Even after such a long time of seeing him almost every day, Xiao Nian¡¯s heart would still skip a beat whenever he looked at Pei Zhen.
¡°I¡¯m waking up to my own good looks every morning! Thank you, big brother Xiao, for bringing breakfast!¡±
Not long after the Weibo post was published, all the crazy shrieks started.
¡°Ahhhhhh, so dashing!¡±
¡°Hubby, please do me while facing me!¡±
¡°Xiao Nian, You¡¯re asking for trouble, using Daddy Pei¡¯s ount again.¡±
¡°I¡¯m officially filing aint that Xiao Nian Nian is taking advantage of Pei Pei, although Pei Pei looks really good in the picture!¡±

Allments, no matter if they were in praise of Pei Zhen¡¯s good looks, or exposing Xiao Nian to be the one posting, the great manager Xiao couldn¡¯t be bothered with.
Thements in Weibo amounted to tens of thousands within ten minutes of posting. Xiao Nian was immeasurably gleeful at how hot Pei Zhen was and even started imagining the scenario of Pei Zhen being the Best Actor.
Until¡
A particrment from the super VIP User Best Actor Fu appeared.
Thement was simple too, and despite it being all of two words, ¡®Delete this¡¯, it got Xiao Nian panicking. His mobile phone fell out of his trembling hands.
¡°Crap!¡± Xiao Nian widened his eyes, reading thement over and over again, ensuring that it really came from Fu Sichen¡¯s ount. He shrieked uncontrobly. ¡°Why is Fu Sichen demanding I delete the post? Daddy, tell me, is he envious of your good looks?¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Pei Zhen was stunned for a bit, not knowing what had just happened. When Xiao Nian showed him the screen, he rolled his eyes.
It was beyond stupid.
His boyfriend was so in love with him, why would he be envious?
Expectedly, within two minutes, a text message from Fu Sichen came through.
[Did Xiao Nian make the post? Delete it.]
As long as Pei Zhen didn¡¯t think of what happened the night before, he¡¯d smile whenever Fu Sichen came to mind: [Why delete it? You don¡¯t want others to see what I look like first thing in the morning?]
Fu Sichen¡¯s reply was almost immediate: [Yes, I want to be the only one to look at you, in any state.]
If he could, he¡¯d hide Pei Zhen from others forever¡ªespecially the Pei Zhen first thing in the morning, when he was innocent and bewitching.
Understanding Fu Sichen¡¯s unspoken words, Pei Zhen started to cough and turned red in his face, his heart racing. He intended to tease Fu Sichen, but in the end, he was the one who sweet-talked!
Whoever said Fu Sichen was cold and heartless. He was far from that when it came to Pei Zhen.
The realization made Pei Zhen both happy and proud. He grabbed the mobile phone out of Xiao Nian¡¯s hands, and with a few movements over the keyboard and humming a little tune, deleted the post.
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t believe what he was witnessing.
He wanted to shriek again. ¡°Pei Zhen, you little rascal! Why did you delete the post! Are you one to do as told by Fu Sichen! You¡¡±
Then, as if remembering something, Xiao Nian suddenly looked stunned and took three steps back, pointing a trembling finger at Pei Zhen saying, ¡°Tell me, are you¡¡±
Pei Zhen thought that Xiao Nian must have realized his rtionship with Fu Sichen and was ready toe clean. However, Xiao Nian had turned pale. ¡°Are you being possessed again!? You¡¯re not Daddy Pei! You¡¡±
Before he could finish his usations, Pei Zhen rolled his eyes and grabbed the pillow next to him. Without a word, he threw the pillow at Xiao Nian.
What an irritating guy.
Ofte, Pei Zhen had the rare chance of a break, and if it weren¡¯t for Xiao Nianing over to the apartment, he could have slept a lot more.
After a text exchange with Fu Sichen, he was in rather high spirits and, for once, didn¡¯t wake up in a foul mood. He even woke up in time for breakfast.
While Xiao Nian was quite d, he did feel a certain sharp pang when he saw the wayments were going on Weibo.
The whole world was remarking that Daddy Pei was ¡®henpecked¡¯.
¡°Deleted? I haven¡¯t even saved the picture. Why was it deleted so quickly?¡±
¡°Arghhhhhh, sincerely requesting Pei Zhen¡¯s morning photo, I¡¯m willing to exchange it with my body!¡±
¡°Wait, am I the only one thinking that there¡¯s something wrong with Daddy Pei? Why should the photo be deleted just because Best Actor Fu said so? This is not the Daddy Pei I know!¡±
¡°Person above +1, same here, I don¡¯t understand. It wouldn¡¯t have been Xiao Nian Nian who deleted the post.¡±
Hence, after the hot search ¡®Pei Zhen¡¯s morning photo¡¯, ¡®Pei Zhen deleted post¡¯ made its way up into the headlines.
Great, in trying to stop the ¡®morning photo¡¯ from being posted, it made its rounds all over the media!

Sometimes the more one tried to hide something, the faster it would be exposed.
Although Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t slow to delete the post, theizens were quicker. Not to mention the tititing morning photo of Pei Zhen, even Fu Sichen¡¯s demand of ¡®Delete this¡¯ had all been screen-shot.
Hence, once Pei Zhen had deleted the post, the ¡®morning photo¡¯ had be all the more valuable amodity, with people pleading for a copy online. Everyone knew about it.
When Fu Sichen realized that, he was furious.
While he was furious, he did keep a copy of the photo. He had even taken in thements of Pei Zhen being henpecked with great pleasure, and only after doing that did he make the call to Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen just had his meal.
It was a sumptuous seafood meal, and he was satisfied. He was in an even better mood when Fu Sichen called and shouted ¡®Boyfriend¡¯ the moment he picked up the phone.
The great manager Xiao was ying an online game, and there was a violent battle happening on the screen. He and his wife were defending with their lives, and it was in the midst of this that he heard Pei Zhen shout. In his shock, the jerking movement of his hand almost cost him his life on the screen.
¡°Boyfriend?!¡±
Pei Zhen was fully focused on Fu Sichen and didn¡¯t bother to exin. He nced at Xiao Nian, turned, and walked towards his bedroom.
Feeling that something was awfully wrong, Xiao Nian was determined to get to the bottom of things. His wife, meanwhile, was repeatedly calling for him in the game. ¡°Hubby,e out quickly. My hand is going into spasm.¡±
¡°Coming,ing in a bit, darling, give me a moment,¡± Xiao Nian replied.
The experienced great manager Xiao had just missed the perfect chance to discover his artist¡¯s blooming romance! He had no idea that Pei Zhen was in the bedroomughing like a love-struck fool.
Pei Zhen had unconsciously, and quite naturally, headed for the privacy of his bedroom.
The voice on the other end of the line was raspy and tender. ¡°Have you eaten?¡±
¡°Yes, eaten.¡± Pei Zhen thought for a while, and said, ¡°It was a feast on seafood, at Dong Cheng. We can go there the next time.¡±
¡°Are you buying?¡± Fu Sichen said with a deepugh.
Pei Zhen snorted and said proudly, ¡°Of course, all you can eat. I¡¯ll reserve the whole seafood restaurant just for you.¡±
Fu Sichen realized that his young boyfriend must not have seen thements on Weibo; otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been so full of himself.
He raised an eyebrow and didn¡¯t want to dete his boyfriend¡¯s ego. Changing the topic, he said, ¡°For tonight, let¡¯s stay home. I¡¯ll cook.¡±
Fu Sichen guessed that Pei Zhen¡¯s mother would be cooking up Pei Zhen¡¯s favorite seafood dishes too.
That being the case though, Pei Zhen¡¯s mother wasn¡¯t a very good cook.
He wondered how he could keep his future mother-inw looking good while ensuring Pei Zhen didn¡¯t starve.
Fu Sichen had contacted Wang Youquan to buy some fish to cook up and stored them in a thermal container. If they got hungry in the middle of the night, they could have supper.
¡°Go home?¡± Pei Zhen froze as he recalled what happened the night before. His face turned pale, and he stopped smiling. ¡°T-to your ce? To do what? These days, having two men alone in the house wouldn¡¯t be a good thing.¡±
Fu Sichen had wanted to take Pei Zhen back to their old neighborhood, but he understood his young boyfriend had been frightened by what happened the night before. Fu Sichen felt regretful and, for the moment, could only be patient. ¡°I was going to take you back to our old neighborhood. It¡¯s been a long time since we went back.¡±
What! Pei Zhen was aghast. It wasn¡¯t enough that Fu Sichen was trying to top him at the hotel, but he was going to try topping him in their childhood home!!!

Fu Sichen was respectful towards Pei Zhen.
Although he had waited and restrained himself for a long time, it didn¡¯t mean that he would neglect Pei Zhen¡¯s wishes and do things that Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to.
But the young boyfriend on the other end of the phone was adamant and rejected him, saying, ¡°I have to go through the script and have no time to go back.¡±
Fu Sichen was stumped speechless.
It was just great. The thing that he was most worried about was happening. It looked like his resentful young boyfriend had begun to retreat. He was taking precaution, and his guard was up.
Fu Sichen had a smile on his face but was swearing and cursing inside. ¡°Pei Pei, you¡¯re not thinking straight. I wasn¡¯t even going to¡¡±
¡°No?¡± Even before Fu Sichen could finish his sentence, Pei Zhen happily asked, ¡°Does that mean you¡¯re willing to be the bottom party?¡±
Fu Sichen was quiet for a while.
Then he said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m willing to be the bottom party.¡±
Said with a clenched jaw, each word took great effort for Fu Sichen. But he thought about the promise he made to Pei Zhen¡¯s father, and at least he still had the chance to be ridden by Pei Zhen being the bottom. At that moment, Fu Sichen wished he could crawl through the phone line to Pei Zhen, to make the young boyfriend understand that he was, in fact, the ace of all toppers.
No matter, Pei Zhen eventually let down his guard and agreed to make the trip back to their childhood neighborhood.
Their old neighborhood was in Dong Hai City, but it was a different district, across to the Southern North quite a distance away.
Fu Sichen went to pick Pei Zhen up.
When Fu Sichen arrived at the apartment, Xiao Nian was lying back on the sofa ying the online game. The minute Fu Sichen saw him, he thought of the phone call the night before, and then the Weibo post in the morning. Frostiness was written all over his face. He had developed huge issues with Xiao Nian.
¡°From now on,¡± Fu Sichen said, looking at Pei Zhen without a trace of emotions and totally oblivious to Fairy Girl Xiao¡¯s delicate heart, ¡°You aren¡¯t to allow other people into your apartment.¡±
A moment of silence.
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t believe what he was hearing.
Xiao Nian waspletely clueless as to what he had done to have made Fu Sichen so angry, and was almost in tears, especially when Fu Sichen asked him to hand over the spare key to the apartment.
Xiao Nian wanted to resist and hung on to the key with his life. ¡°Pei Pei!¡±
Not able to watch any longer, Daddy Pei turned his head and coughed twice. ¡°I¡¯m going back home for a couple of days, and will head straight for the filming location once I¡¯m back here.¡±
In a rare moment of guilt, Pei Zhen got into the car without looking back, not daring to confront the expression on Xiao Nian¡¯s face. He hurried Fu Sichen to drive away.
Xiao Nian was unpleasantly shocked and considerably hurt. Before the car drove away, Fu Sichen had even given him a haughty look.
Xiao Nian was speechless.
Who knew what Best Actor Fu was so smug about, but all of a sudden, the onlinements about Pei Zhen being henpecked came to mind.
The truth was that Pei Zhen didn¡¯t feel that there was any good reason for taking a trip back to his hometown.
His parents, the ¡®Condor Heroes¡¯ were mostly not around, and although Fu Sichen¡¯s family was good to him, they weren¡¯t his real parents. Pei Zhen felt bad about bothering them even if they thought nothing of it.
¡°Are Uncle and Aunty going to be home today?¡± With he and Fu Sichen in a rtionship, Pei Zhen was nervous about seeing Fu Sichen¡¯s parents.
After all, they had be his boyfriend¡¯s parents.
Had he dressed appropriately?
Should he have brought gifts?
Would they agree to marry off their son to him?
A thousand and one random thoughts ran through Pei Zhen¡¯s mind, but when Fu Sichen said that his parents wouldn¡¯t be home, he waspletely relieved.
Whew.
It was great to have the death sentence postponed.
He hadn¡¯t even noticed his boyfriend sending out the text message: [Don¡¯te home tonight.]

When Fu Sichen¡¯s parents heard that the Condor Heroes wereing home, they were excited.
Daddy Fu even left work early to pick up Mummy Fu, and they went to the market hand-in-hand.
[Son, do you think we should buy a bottle of wine?]
[Son, shall we get some cold dishes?]
[Son, we¡¯ll be home soon.]
While Daddy Fu¡¯s text messages were affectionate and sincere, the reply that he got from his son was a rather emotionless: [Don¡¯te home tonight.]
Daddy and Mummy Fu were both stumped.
Why?
Daddy Fu was quite worked up and refused to calm down. Immediately, he picked up the phone to call his son.
However, as soon as the line got through, Fu Sichen disconnected it. Subsequent calls went unanswered. Fu Sichen must have put his phone on silent mode.
Daddy Fu was thoroughly disappointed, especially when he received Fu Sichen¡¯s message saying that ¡®Tonight is Uncle and Aunty Pei¡¯s night¡¯, the head of the Fu family felt as though he was an outsider.
In any case, it was thanks to the good nning of Fu Sichen that his parents had a home that they couldn¡¯t go back to.
The minute Pei Zhen got into the car heid back in his seatzily, as though spineless.
If Fu Sichen had engaged with him in conversation, it wouldn¡¯t have been so bad. However, as it were, the man concentrated on driving, and Pei Zhen started struggling to stay awake.
He seemed to be forever hovering on the edge of not having enough sleep.
Only when he was filming, he was like a different person¡ªno matter how tiring or difficult it became, he wouldn¡¯t ck.
Thinking those little thoughts about Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help but smile. By the time he bent over to kiss the man, the stars had littered the darkened skies, casting their twinkling light on his brows. The expression on his face was gentle and peaceful.
Dong Hai City was expansive. Traveling along the north-south route, it was already night time when they arrived.
Pei Zhen was woken up by a kiss.
The moist kiss was tingling, and Pei Zhen gave a soft moan and felt his face heating up and flushing.
Fu Sichenughed and said, ¡°Pei Pei, time to wake up.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Forced out of his sleep, Pei Zhen was in a blurry state, and he squinted his beautifully misty eyes. ¡°We¡¯ve arrived?¡±
Fu Sichen nodded. He lowered his head, looked at Pei Zhen in the eyes, and couldn¡¯t help but kiss him again.
The two men were lovey-dovey and kissed in the car for a while until Pei Zhen¡¯s sleep dissipated, and they heard the door open. The sound caused them to jump and untangle themselves from each other.
¡°Is that Pei Zhen?¡± A pretty middle-aged woman walked out, hurrying forward when she recognized Fu Sichen¡¯s car. ¡°My Diao Diao!¡±
Fu Sichen was stumped speechless, as was Pei Zhen.
No one would have dared to give Pei Zhen such a ridiculous nickname as ¡®Diao Diao¡¯, except for his Condor Heroes parents.
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart jumped for joy at the surprise, and he quickly rolled down the car window to take a good look at the woman.
¡°Mum?!¡±
The woman on the other side of the car window had the same eyes as Pei Zhen. She was extremely excited as she called out again, ¡°My little Diao Diao!¡±
Silence.
Great. With a shout of the ridiculous nickname, the joy of the moment suddenly seemed to have halved. Worse still, Fu Sichen was present. Pei Zhen took a backward nce and turned red when he saw that Fu Sichen wasughing.
¡°Mum!¡± He red at his mother helplessly. Still, it was hard to hide his excitement as he got out of the car and gave his mother a big hug. ¡°You¡¯re back!¡±
Even though the Little Brat Pei looked like a thoughtless nitwit, he was one who yearned for affection deep inside.
He hadn¡¯t seen his mother for ages, and the joy of seeing her was quite emotional. There was dampness around his eyes that was rarely seen. ¡°Mum, you¡¯re finally home.¡±
Hearing her son say the words ¡®finally home¡¯, Pei Zhen¡¯s mother felt a pang of guilt. ¡°Pei Pei, I¡ we¡ we¡¯re sorry¡¡±

As his parents were on a noble mission, Pei Zhen wouldn¡¯tin even if he didn¡¯t feel happy.
Only, the strong front that he put up crumbled quickly. The moment he saw those embracing arms, he let go of his vulnerabilities.
¡°Mum¡¡±
In the end, emotion choked him up to the point that no other words came. His father had alsoe out of the house by then. His eyes inevitably turned red when he saw the mother and son hugging each other.
¡°Alright, alright.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s father took a deep breath andughed, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s not stand outside the house like a bunch of fools, dinner¡¯s getting cold.¡±
His eyes glistening with tears, Pei Zhen asked, ¡°What dinner?¡±
¡°Your mum¡¯s cooking!¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s father said enthusiastically.
A moment of silence.
While the Condor Heroes were excellent archaeologists, they were extremely hopeless cooks. The frightening thing was that they had a level of self-confidence to think they were the best cooks in the world.
The food was so salty it left Pei Zhen in tears, but their reunion moved his mother, and she continually filled his bowl with more food. ¡°Come, darling, you have to eat more. You¡¯re too skinny.¡±
¡°Aunty, what about me.¡± Fu Sichen came to the rescue as he saw that she nned on putting more food in Pei Zhen¡¯s bowl. He redirected the food to his own bowl, saying, ¡°Pei Zhen is your son, but am I not too?¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s mother paused for a bit, and at once smiled candidly. She quickly picked up more food and stacked it into Fu Sichen¡¯s bowl. ¡°Oh, look at me getting muddled in my old age.¡±
The two families had a good rtionship. Pei Zhen¡¯s parents were grateful towards the Fu¡¯s. Of course, they liked Fu Sichen a lot as well.
But even if he were a son, he¡¯d be a god-son at most, and that wasn¡¯t anywhere near their own flesh and blood. The cheeky Fu Sichen gave Pei Zhen¡¯s hand a squeeze when his parents weren¡¯t looking.
¡°Darling, we¡¯ve met each other¡¯s parents, from now on, don¡¯t you even think of running away.¡±
Pei Zhen was pinching his nose as he tried to down the food, but started to choke and cough when he heard Fu Sichen¡¯s words. ¡°Cough cough, cough cough cough¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Pei Pei?¡± His parents were immediately concerned when he started to cough. They quickly got him some water. ¡°Drink up, drink up, is the food too spicy?¡±
It was Fu Sichen who lifted the ss to Pei Zhen¡¯s mouth.
Pei Zhen took a sip from the ss, not feeling that there was anything wrong. He waved his hand to and fro, saying, ¡°Not too spicy.¡± It was too salty!
¡°Oh¡ oh¡¡±
After a short while of observing Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen¡¯s father couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Son, why is your face so red?¡±
A moment of silence.
¡°Because of the cough!¡± Pei Zhen quickly said, refusing to admit that it was because he was shy!
Although the food tasted horrible, Pei Zhen was able to avoid the full torment of it with Fu Sichen¡¯s help. Moreover, with the return of Pei Zhen¡¯s parents, the meal was indeed a joyful and harmonious event.
After dinner, the god-son Fu Sichen was more diligentpared to the flesh-and-blood son Pei Zhen. After clearing the table, he stepped into the kitchen to do the washing.
Pei Zhen¡¯s mother was a little embarrassed. ¡°Sichen, leave this job to me. I can¡¯t let you do this.¡±
At well over 6 feet tall, Fu Sichen towered over Mummy Pei. ¡°Of course I¡¯ll do the washing. Women are responsible for looking pretty.¡±
¡°At this old age, who would care about being pretty or not.¡±
¡°Not at all, Aunty is still young and very pretty.¡±
A few casual ttering words and Pei Zhen¡¯s mother was as happy as ark. In the end, she left the washing to Fu Sichen and retreated from the kitchen with some fruits.
Pei Zhen¡¯s father, on the other hand, was watching TV with his legs up.
¡°Pei Zhen, look at you.¡± Seizing the ck andzy son, Pei Zhen¡¯s mother started to criticize. ¡°You¡¯rezy as a pig. Look at how good Fu Sichen is.¡±
¡°He wanted to top me,¡± Pei Zhen retorted, ¡°Good my ass.¡±

¡°He wanted to top me, good my ass.¡±
¡°What?¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s parents eximed, shocked.
Pei Zhen himself was shocked too when he realized what he¡¯d just said. He turned red in the face and mumbled, ¡°Errrr¡ that is, he¡ he wanted to be better than me and wanted to overtake me in status. So what¡¯s good about that?¡±
Those sorts of envious words caused Pei Zhen¡¯s parents displeasure, and they criticized him instead, saying that he was toozy.
Pei Zhen was sullen.
He was furious to the point of tears.
He wanted to kill Fu Sichen, the bitch!
Fu Sichen, the bitch, wasn¡¯t killed.
On the contrary, he ended up staying the night at the Pei¡¯s.
The little bitch smiled, his expression both innocent and guilt-stricken all at once. ¡°My parents are out of town for business and will only be back the day after tomorrow. I left my home keys in the serviced apartment, so I do apologize for inconveniencing you for tonight.¡±
¡°It¡¯s no bother, not inconvenient at all! You are more than wee to stay for as long as you like! ¡±
On saying that, she turned to her son and ordered, ¡°Hurry up and get your big brother a set of pajamas. Oh, no, hang on¡ªyou¡¯re too short, and they won¡¯t fit Sichen.¡±
Fu Sichen said politely, ¡°It¡¯s not a problem. I can put up with it, no issues.¡±
Pei Zhen was annoyed.
Crap!
What ulterior motives did he have!?
The despicable man!
The point was, his mother actually said he was short. Was she his real mother!?
With much grievance, Pei Zhen looked for and found a set of pajamas. Thrusting it at Fu Sichen, he looked at the man in his eyes and then raised himself on his tiptoes.
Hmmpf, he was tall too, and definitely not short!
The pajamas were arge-sized set, Pei Zhen had bought it from Beijing¡¯s Shantan shopping district previously. Fu Sichen frowned when he saw it was brand new.
¡°Have you worn this before?¡±
What? How dare hein when he¡¯s asking to borrow something?
¡°You¡¯ve only worn it once?¡± Fu Sichen looked displeased. Pei Zhen took back the pajamas angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t wear it then!¡±
¡®You¡¯ve only worn it once?¡¯ was not an answer that Pei Zhen had expected. Fu Sichen swept his eyes around Pei Zhen¡¯s bedroom and spotted a set of cartoon-print pajamas on a hanger. He walked towards the pajamas and said, ¡°You¡¯ve worn it only once, there¡¯s no trace of your smell on it.¡±
Pei Zhen was aghast.
Finally, understanding what Fu Sichen was alluding to, he turned a bright red. ¡°You¡ you¡ you¡¡±
Madness.
No trace of his smell indeed, there were no words to describe the man¡
Pei Zhen was flushed and couldn¡¯t think straight. After stammering ¡®You¡ you¡ you¡¡¯ and not knowing how he should react, he ran into the bathroom and locked himself inside.
Arghhhhh¡ whoever said that Fu Sichen was cold and emotionless and straight as anything! It appeared that he was a natural when it came to arousing and tititing people!
Pei Zhen¡¯s mind was running in circles, thinking many different thoughts, but he was swift intching the bathroom door. To avoid being a victim of a possible sneak attack, he took a shower and put on his pajamas quickly,pleting the routine in under five minutes.
After showering, Pei Zhen hesitated before opening the bathroom door. He dilly-dallied for about ten minutes before opening the bathroom door a crack.
Great.
The bedroom was empty, and there was no one around!
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Pei Zhen regained some of his overbearing nature. He nced down at his own oversized pajamas and felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Humming a tune, he swiftly removed his clothes and walked towards his wardrobe, with his naked butt and all exposed. s, the room door suddenly swung open and there stood Fu Sichen in Pei Zhen¡¯s green T-Rex pajamas.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Pei Zhen was stunned.
Cursing and swearing as he tried to cover up his bare chest, he almost shrieked like Dong Hai Fairy Girl Xiao Nian Nian.
Fu Sichen was as calm as usual and swept his gaze up and down Pei Zhen¡¯s bare body. Then he said with an unhurried tone, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re trying to cover up the wrong bit?¡±
Pei Zhen stared back at him without a word.
In the next moment, the hand that was clutching his chest immediately slipped downwards, but clutching at his own lower region didn¡¯t feel right either. Thoroughly embarrassed, Pei Zhen grabbed a shirt and turned around as he dressed.
¡°I was going to sleep. What are you doing here?¡±
The green T-Rex Fu Sichen calmly shut the door behind him, saying, ¡°I¡¯m sleeping too.¡±
¡°You?!¡± Pei Zhen turned to re at him, shocked. ¡°You¡¯re sleeping in my room?¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s favorite T-Rex pajamas were quite stretched. It looked alright on Fu Sichen when he was standing up, but once he sat on the bed, he had to lower the zipper.
Fu Sichen bared his chest, and he smiled radiantly. ¡°Yes, Aunty made that arrangement.¡±
Pei Zhen red at Fu Sichen.
He strode towards the bedroom doorway and stuck his upper body out, hollering down the corridor to his mother in the living room, asking, ¡°Mum, Fu Sichen is sleeping in my room tonight?!¡±
¡°The study is full of books.¡± Pei Shen¡¯s mother coughed lightly, a little embarrassed. ¡°You guys are brothers, so you have to take care of Fu Sichen, don¡¯t make things ufortable for him.¡±
Crap. Fu Sichen would hardly let himself be ufortable. He was the one who should keep watch that he didn¡¯t make things ufortable for himself!
He thought of the other night¡ªFu Sichen had the eyes of a hungry predator. Pei Zhen was especially concerned about his virginity. It happened that the handsome man who was behind him was a tease, and things got hot.
¡°Pei Pei, your big brother is tired. Big brother wants to go to sleep sleep holding Pei Pei.¡±
The normally cold and emotionless person was wearing a set of childish pajamas with his hands sticking out in front. When he said ¡®sleep sleep¡¯ in that childish manner, it caused Pei Zhen to shudder involuntarily.
¡°You¡ you¡¡± Pei Zhen red at Fu Sichen angrily. It was his own bedroom, and he had to avoid the invading serpent. He ended up backed against the wall. ¡°This sort of vition is illegal!¡±
Fu Sichen smiled. ¡°Nonsense, both of us know that we both want it.¡±
¡°Go away!¡± Pei Zhen panicked, pointing at Fu Sichen¡¯s nose furiously. ¡°You promised that you¡¯d be willing to be the bottom party!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes. I¡¯ll be the bottom one.¡± Fu Sichen said, adding silently ¡®woman on top¡¯. Then, like a magician, he whipped out a thermal lunch box.
¡°Let¡¯s eat first, only after filling our stomachs can we think about lust.¡±
Pei Zhen had so much toin about, yet he was speechless. He wanted to say that he had eaten, but that would make him look like he couldn¡¯t wait to jump into bed. On the other hand, to say that he was still hungry and wanted more food would make him look like he agreed to the sequence of things suggested by Fu Sichen.
What a booby trap Fu Sichen had set. There was no right answer. Pei Zhen just kept his mouth shut and walked over in silence.
The food smelled glorious!
It was his favorite seafood!
The aroma that was released the moment the thermal container opened stimted Pei Zhen¡¯s appetite further. Fu Sichen even lovingly handed him a pair of chopsticks. It would¡¯ve done the seafood no justice if he didn¡¯t eat it!
¡°How is it?¡± Fu Sichen lowered his voice. ¡°Does it taste alright?¡±
Fantastic!
It was so good that Pei Zhen almost swallowed his tongue!
He was almost moved to tears but managed to keep a straight face. ¡°So-so, it doesn¡¯t match up to my mother¡¯s cooking by far.¡±
¡°Is that so.¡± Fu Sichen drew back his cute face, and with a softugh tilted his head and kissed Pei Zhen. ¡°Then I have to give it a taste, and do better than this the next time.¡±
Pei Zhen gulped down the porridge, lips shimmering. Watching him, Fu Sichen¡¯s deep-set eyes burnt with desire, his body yearning for the man before him.

Pei Zhen was quite heartless.
Despite Fu Sichen¡¯s thoughtfulness in cooking the porridge and bringing it over, all Pei Zhen said was a very matter-of-factly ¡®so-so¡¯.
The Little Brat Pei could be quite a character when he chose to be arrogant. Instead of getting angry, Fu Sichen lifted Pei Zhen¡¯s chin, bent over, and kissed him.
He tasted sweet.
There was little trace of the seafood porridge that he had just eaten.
Once the two started kissing, it was hard to stop. Their lips touched for a moment, and then, again and again. One couldn¡¯t bear to stop, and the other couldn¡¯t bear to withdraw. Pei Zhen mumbled, ¡°I think it¡¯s sweet too¡ just skip the sugar when you cook porridge in the future.¡±
His words tickled Fu Sichen, and he started tough. ¡°No, there was no sugar at all.¡±
Pei Zhen felt like a fool.
His handsome face was flushed, and his ears had turned red; his heart was pounding wildly, but he was feeling quite proud of himself. ¡°I¡¯m sure the sweetness must be from the C that I had a little too much of.¡±
Fu Sichen rolled his eyes.
Fu Sichen smuggled the seafood porridge into the house.
Given that, they didn¡¯t take the container out for washing after Pei Zhen had finished the porridge. They could only give it a rinse in the bathroom.
After things had settled, Fu Sichen was looking forward to whispering sweet nothings with Pei Zhen. s, when he stepped out of the bathroom, Pei Zhen had already fallen asleep.
How did he even get so tired? He slept whenever he had the chance to, just like a cat.
Fu Sichen was a little gloomy. When he walked towards Pei Zhen, he realized that Pei Zhen had wrapped himself up like arva, creating a distinct boundary between himself and the remaining space on the bed.
Fine. Seeing it peeved Fu Sichen.
The rascal, how immature was he. Did he think he could hide forever?
Gritting his teeth, Fu Sichen climbed into bed and turned off the lights. After tossing and turning for a while, he still couldn¡¯t fall into sleep. In the end, he didn¡¯t care if he was going to wake Pei Zhen up. He stretched out his arm and took Pei Zhen into his embrace, nket and all.
The next day, Pei Zhen awoke from the heat.
It was as if the mes engulfed him. The source of the firepped at his lower body, scorching him.
Pei Zhen whispered in his semi-conscious state, vaguely hearing the broadcast exercise musicing from the garden. He frowned at the disturbance.
¡°What time is it?¡±
His unconscious muttering nevertheless drew an answer. ¡°What? It should be around 8 am.¡±
The hoarse voice was like the endnotes of a cello, stirring Pei Zhen from his dream and startling him. ¡°Hey? Hang on. Was that Fu Sichen¡¯s voice?¡±
In a daze, Pei Zhen recalled that he shared his bed with Fu Sichen the previous night. That wave of heat must have been from Fu Sichen!
Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes snapped open. He not only found himself nestled in Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace, but Fu Sichen had a hard-on, obviously reacting to him!
Pei Zhen panicked.
His ears turned bright red in embarrassment and pushed Fu Sichen away. ¡°Hey! You!¡±
Fu Sichen almost fell off the bed from the push and woke up. He realized what was making Pei Zhen so agitated and smiled.
¡°That¡¯s what a real man¡¯s like in the morning.¡±
As he said that, Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze fell on Pei Zhen¡¯s crotch. With a yful flick of his fingers, he continued, ¡°Darling, you¡¯re the same.¡±
Pei Zhen exploded inside. ¡°Hey¡ woah!¡±
Not giving him any time to react, Fu Sichen reached into Pei Zhen¡¯s pajama pants. Pei Zhen was stunned, and at that moment had no idea whether it was Fu Sichen¡¯s hand that was scorching hot, or something else.
His entire body went insane as feelings of pleasure he couldn¡¯t describe overwhelmed him. It went on until all of them congregated in a single spot. He didn¡¯t dare to make a noise, only a low moan.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¡±
The irresistible, sultry voice of Fu Sichen was like a tongue of me, engulfing Pei Zhen¡¯s entire inner being.

The forbidden.
The boldness.
Only a thin wall separated the two men and Pei Zhen¡¯s parents.
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t dare to imagine what would happen if his parents found out.
¡°You¡ you¡¡± His breathing had be shallow and quick, and he stifled the moaning that was trying to find its way out of his throat. Pei Zhen sank his teeth into Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You rascal!¡±
When Mummy Pei called out that it was mealtime, her son and god-son were bothte.
Looking at their wet hair, she asked quizzically, ¡°You took a shower?¡±
Pei Zhen half-grunted an affirmative, his face still carrying a hint of blush.
Although, his mother didn¡¯t notice it.
Pei Zhen¡¯s mother couldn¡¯t help but nag, saying, ¡°I know you young people like cleanliness, but you shouldn¡¯t be showering every day. Look at your father; he doesn¡¯t even shower after his morning exercise.¡±
Apparently, Pei Zhen¡¯s father had just returned from doing thetest national mass exercise. He said nothing.
¡°Okay,¡± came Pei Zhen¡¯s perfunctory reply as he busied himself eating. In his head, however, he couldn¡¯t help but rey the scene from the morning. His heart raced, and he thought he was going to explode.
It was a real disgrace!
How could he sumb just like that?
After Fu Sichen had given him the first handjob, when they were in the bathroom, it happened for a second time.
He wouldn¡¯t have thought of himself as someone with a high sex drive, but whenever he was anywhere near Fu Sichen, his desire charged up immediately.
Pei Zhen avoided Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes throughout breakfast, but even then, thetter¡¯s attractive voice still got to him.
¡°I slept well, thank you, Aunty¡ Pei Pei takes good care of me. Yes, I¡¯ll eat more.¡±
Fu Sichen offered a regretful but unapologetic smile when Pei Zhen¡¯s parents asked after his family. ¡°My mum and dad? How unfortunate, they¡¯ll be back in another two days.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s fatherughed heartily. ¡°We¡¯ll be home a little longer this time around. Oh¡¡±
His son¡¯s work came to mind. ¡°Pei Pei, don¡¯t you have any assignments these few days?¡±
With a mouthful of food, Pei Zhen mumbled, ¡°No¡ only in a few days¡¯ time.¡±
Coincidentally, the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day was around the corner. He¡¯d taken on mostly magazine shoots and appearance at an event, but there wasn¡¯t much shooting.
Work, for celebrities, was continuous. It was the nature of the job, unfortunately.
¡°If I put in a little effort, I can still get home in the evening.¡± Pei Zhen smiled. He was hoping to spend as much time as possible with his parents. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you tasty supper then.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s parents looked at each other and smiled. It was heartwarming to hear him say that. However, they didn¡¯t tell their son of the news that they had applied to be back in Dong Hai City for their work.
¡°Pei Pei,¡± Picking up a bun and putting it in Pei Zhen¡¯s bowl, his mother remarked, ¡°Have you found a girlfriend? Why do I only read about the scandal between you and Sichen.¡±
The question caught Pei Zhen unprepared.
He choked and spluttered instantly, spraying the milk in his mouth all over his father¡¯s face. Then he started to cough violently and uncontrobly.
¡°Dad, cough cough, sorry¡ cough cough¡¡±
He had a boyfriend, unfortunately, and that wasn¡¯t a scandal in the least. It was a factual report!
He took a sidelong nce at the implicated party next to him, who was patting him on the back. Fu Sichen had guts of metal or something?
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing his young boyfriend ring at him, Fu Sichen held Pei Zhen¡¯s hand under the table, and whispered when Pei Zhen¡¯s parents weren¡¯t looking, ¡°Boyfriend, do you want toe out?¡±

Come out of the closet?
No, not possible.
At least, not right then.
It was a rare chance that his parents could make a trip home, and Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want them to leave all upset.
Trying hard to suppress more coughing, Pei Zhen lightly scratched Fu Sichen¡¯s palm with his little finger, and whispered, ¡°Boyfriend, don¡¯t stir trouble now.¡±
Fu Sichen understood Pei Zhen¡¯s difficulties. He was ill-at-ease too when he saw the tinge of guilt on Pei Zhen¡¯s face.
Leaning towards Pei Zhen, he quickly and lightly brushed his face against Pei Zhen¡¯s and said, ¡°Just kidding. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
It was a light and gentle contact, but Fu Sichen¡¯s heart-warming gesture touched Pei Zhen so much that he almost held Fu Sichen¡¯s hand impulsively to make the important announcement of them being together.
He was his boyfriend, and it was a serious rtionship.
Fu Sichen was exceptionally good, and he loved Fu Sichen!
¡°Pei Pei, Sichen¡¡± From a distance, they could hear voices chattering happily. Then the voices grew nearer, and before Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen could untangle their hands, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared at the doorway.
Horrifyingly, he even saw the two men holding hands!
¡°Big brother!¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s father eximed as he looked up and recognized his old friend with the same ted expression. ¡°Hey, you are here!¡±
¡°No formalities, please!¡± The middle-aged man was more jovial than he looked. ¡°We are all family, and from now on even closer!¡±
Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen stared at each other speechlessly.
Pei Zhen¡¯s parents were surprised.
The well-heeleddy following close behind the middle-aged man pinched him on his waist, and said with a tight smile, ¡°Pei Pei and Sichen are close like brothers. Of course that makes our families even closer, isn¡¯t that so?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± If it weren¡¯t for any special circumstance, Fu Sichen wouldn¡¯t have let go of Pei Zhen¡¯s hand. He looked at his parents in a rxed manner. ¡°Pei Zhen and I are close like brothers.¡±
¡°Hahaha.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s father was an astute person and caught on. Heughed and parroted Fu Sichen¡¯s words. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. They are close like brothers¡ªit¡¯s a firm socialist brotherhood.
Fu Sichen¡¯s father was a legendary personality.
Fu Sichen¡¯s mother, on the other hand, was a bit of a troublemaker.
The more their son asked them to stay away from home, the more they would want to turn up. His trouble-seeking mum coaxed his indecisive dad, and they immediately checked out of the hotel to return home.
Given the situation, Fu Sichen had to control his temper.
Pei Zhen¡¯s father poured Fu Sichen¡¯s father a ss of soy milk in lieu of wine. ¡°Old buddy, aren¡¯t you on a business trip?¡±
Daddy Fu gulped down his ss of organic soy milk and said regretfully, ¡°I missed you, dear brother, so I immediately bought ne tickets to return from America.¡±
¡°Oh, that was quick?¡±
¡°¡ Cough, cough¡ we hurried and took the fastest non-stop route.¡±
Daddy Fu¡¯s lie wasme, but fortunately, he was quick-witted and managed to convince Daddy Pei. After breakfast, there was no longer any excuse to keep Fu Sichen as he finally had the keys to return to his own home.
How infuriating!
The moment Fu Sichen stepped into the house with his parents, his expression turned icy. ¡°Why did youe home?¡±
Mummy Fu smiled like flowers in bloom. ¡°Son, we miss you. We can only see you on the TV screen every day, your mummy¡¯s heart aches.¡±
Seeing Mummy Fu y the sympathy card, Daddy Fu once again caught on quickly and followed suit. ¡°Yes, yes, Big Brother Sichen, I miss you too.¡±
¡°Scram.¡± Meanness was a trait in the genes of the Fu family, and Fu Sichen said with a sneer, ¡°You have no right to call me big brother.¡±
Daddy Fuughed and didn¡¯t take it seriously. He was concerned about something else. ¡°Son, you¡¯ve snagged Pei Pei? But you two haven¡¯te out of the closet?¡±
¡°Scandals about the two of you are spreading like wildfire.¡± Mummy Fu looked worried. ¡°I¡¯m even your Couple Support Group leader.¡±
It was indeed hard work having to organize inte trollers to postments!

Fu Sichen¡¯s parents were amazingly cool people.
When they first found out that Fu Sichen loved Pei Zhen, they were initially shocked, but ultimately, they understood.
¡°It¡¯s really like this.¡±
¡°As expected.¡±
Daddy Fu never felt that there was anything wrong with a man loving another man. Although, after he had found out about the two young men, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Fu Sichen on the evening of the same day.
¡°I won¡¯t stop you from loving Pei Zhen, but I hope that you¡¯re not forcing him into going down this road. You have to understand that it is a path paved with obstructions and thorns; not a bed of roses.¡±
Hence the Fu parents would be truly supportive only if Pei Zhen loved Fu Sichen back equally.
Daddy Fu¡¯s words were like a cold shower for the hot-blooded Fu Sichen, and because of them, he had endured so many years.
But, the oue wasn¡¯t too bad.
His beloved Pei Zhen was finally his.
¡°When did you start being together? And where are things at now?¡± Mummy Fu was interested to know. ¡°With first-hand information, I can better create a Dojinshiwork.¡±
Fu Sichen narrowed his eyes.
Fu Sichen forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Because of your return, now you¡¯re in the way of using out.¡±
His beloved was next door, and Fu Sichen could find no other reason to be in the same room or on the same bed sleeping together with Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen¡¯s parents understood what their son¡¯s ulterior motive was, and they were considerably shocked by his ¡®evil¡¯ scheme.
However, they had to admit his brilliance.
He could think of such a shameless n indeed.
But even if he foiled his son¡¯s n, he wouldn¡¯t have felt bad. Though, both Daddy and Mummy Fu pat their son on his shoulder and seriously encouraged him. ¡°Best Actor Fu, all the best!¡±
He should haveughed and then given a high five.
He could visit his neighbor in the day; all he and Pei Zhen needed to do was to lock the bedroom door, and they¡¯d be in their own universe. But what reasons could he give to stay on in the evening?
Fu Sichen walked out to the balcony.
The first stars had lit the darkening skies, the milky way sparkled like a silvery belt that stretched across the great expanse, and a light breeze was blowing. The moon was a crescent that gave off a pure, soft glow.
Fu Sichen whistled and waited for a short while. Soon after, Pei Zhen appeared in an unhurried manner.
The green T-Rex pajamas definitely looked a lot more fitting on Pei Zhen than on Fu Sichen.
The pretty young man looked a little dreamy and leaned against the balcony railing in a rxed manner. Heughed. ¡°We saw each other just a minute ago, big brother Sichen¡¡±
Having Pei Zhen address him that way was quite a turn-on.
Compared to his younger days, the young boyfriend¡¯s voice had lost the youthful edge and developed a subtle sexiness that was very attractive and tititing to Fu Sichen.
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression darkened, and his gaze fell on Pei Zhen¡¯s pajamas. He said in his deep husky voice, ¡°Why are you wearing that? I thought you minded me using it.¡±
Pei Zhen blinked and said innocently, ¡°It has your smell on it.¡±
Fu Sichen narrowed his eyes.
He drew in a deep breath, as an electrifying current flowed through his body again. His throat was dry, and his fingers involuntarily curled to make a fist. He was trying to restrain himself and failing.
No great distance separated the two household¡¯s balconies.
Fu Sichen leaned forward and extended his long arms. As Pei Zhen called out once more ¡®big brother¡¯, he grabbed Pei Zhen¡¯s cor and drew Pei Zhen towards him, sealing his lips with a kiss.
It was a little aggressive.
Keeping the physical posture for a mid-air kiss was no easy feat, not to mention that Fu Sichen was quite an aggressive kisser. In no time, Pei Zhen was out of breath.
¡°Y-you son of¡¡± Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t sure whether to me himself for not exercising normally or to me Fu Sichen¡¯s over-enthusiastic advancement, but he wasn¡¯t able to resist and turned soft in the legs. ¡°I-I¡¯m going to fall over.¡±
Fu Sichen gave a deepugh. ¡°Fall over then. Even if you fall, I¡¯ll cushion you.¡±
I¡¯ll happily go to the ends of the earth for you.

Fu Sichen¡¯s words were sweet to hear, but they made no impact on Pei Zhen.
He didn¡¯t want headlines such as ¡®Best Actor and Best Actor candidate in challenging kissing pose¡¯, ¡®Best Actor Fu and Number Two Man Pei fallen¡ from balcony¡¯, ¡®You¡¯re the wind, and I¡¯m the sand, gay lovers jumped from balcony¡¯.
It would look really idiotic.
And not the least bit romantic.
¡°Mum, look!¡± Before Pei Zhen could push Fu Sichen away, a child¡¯s voice suddenly came from the little side street below. ¡°That big brother and the other big brother are kissing!¡±
Damn it!
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart missed a beat, and his teeth knocked against Fu Sichen¡¯s lip. He couldn¡¯t think of how to react to the passersby. Then a woman¡¯s voice was heard speaking.
¡°Stop looking. They¡ they¡¯re just ying a game.¡±
¡°Oh? Really? In that case, can I y the same game with Xiao Fang?¡±
Fu Sichen said nothing.
Immediately following the silence was the sound of footsteps hurrying away. Luckily the balconies were a distance from them, and fortunately, the beautiful scene was too much for their eyes¡ªthe woman didn¡¯t recognize the two celebrities.
Pei Zhen turned red.
He couldn¡¯t help feeling embarrassed, and pushed Fu Sichen away, taking a few steps back himself.
His peach blossom eyes were misty, and his lips were moist and plump from the blood that was rushing into his face and neck, washing away most of the anger he was feeling.
¡°That was a really stupid attempt at being romantic, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s dangerous?¡±
¡°Okay, okay, fine. It was my fault.¡±
Apologizing for his mistake, Fu Sichen, at the same time, had one hand on the balcony railing. With a forceful movement of his strong abdomen, and to Pei Zhen¡¯s wide-eyed surprise, he flipped himself right over to Pei Zhen¡¯s balcony!
¡°You!¡± Pei Zhen eximed.
Before Pei Zhen could speak, he was pushed up against the wall, and therge hood of his pajama top was lifted and brought down to cover both of them.
Fu Sichen lowered his head and kissed Pei Zhen fully on his lips.
The kiss was more forceful than thest, exploding into a burning desire fueled by an umtion of mutual feelings in the time that had gone by.
Their blood seethed like the billowing waves, and their souls shuddered. Pei Zhen¡¯s legs were giving way, and he moaned uncontrobly. ¡°Wait¡ wait, slow down¡¡±
If they continued¡
He could only end up being topped.
Fu Sichen had excellent kissing technique, but being topped could hurt him.
Pei Zhen¡¯s thoughts swirled around his head, and he had no idea what he was thinking. In the end, only one thought found its way into his head. When Fu Sichen¡¯s hand reached Pei Zhen¡¯s waist, his body stiffened.
¡°N-no way.¡± Pei Zhen blushed furiously and cleared his throat. His voice was hoarse. ¡°I¡ I¡¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze was searing, and his lips firmly nted on Pei Zhen¡¯s. When he spoke, Pei Zhen could feel the heat of his breath. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°I¡ I¡¡± There was a long pause, and Pei Zhen was almost speaking gibberish by that point. ¡°Need to tell you a secret¡ actually, I¡¯m not yet 18¡¡±
¡°Good try, darling, acting all delicate?¡± Fu Sichen said.
¡°Acting delicate?!¡± Pei Zhen was quite annoyed. ¡°I¡¯m psychologically young! Definitely under 18!¡±
Fu Sichen said nothing.
He knew that Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t ready. In the first ce, Fu Sichen had no intention of going any further. But when he saw how serious his young boyfriend was, he just wanted to tease him.
Who¡¯d have known that such teasing would so easily ignite passion and things would get out of hand just like that? ¡°Darling, you¡¯ll have to grow up quickly then.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s face heated up again. Embarrassed, he spoke in a pleasing tone after hesitating for a while, saying, ¡°Fu Sichen, it seems now that it¡¯s unlikely that I can be the top party.¡±
Fu Sichen smiled, d for Pei Zhen¡¯s self-awareness.
¡°Given this, can we both be the top party?¡±

Pei Zhen was a good-looking man with idealistic thoughts.
Fu Sichen saw the hope in Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes and didn¡¯t want to be so cruel as to crush his ideas. He coughed lightly and changed the topic. ¡°It¡¯ste; let¡¯s go to bed.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know how else to convince him.
Damn it.
The shameless Fu Sichen¡ªnot only did he want to top Pei Zhen, he had ended up on Pei Zhen¡¯s bed.
After he had jumped over to the neighboring balcony, he couldn¡¯t bear to go home.
Pei Zhen was annoyed that Fu Sichen hadn¡¯t answered his question, and when he saw that Fu Sichen was heading into his bedroom, he gave an expulsion order.
¡°Get out.¡±
Fu Sichen, however, had already made himselffortable on Pei Zhen¡¯s bed. ¡°Sorry, my legs are shaking, and I can¡¯t jump back over.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good too.¡± Pei Zhen smirked. ¡°Take a fall from the balcony and go to the hospital where they can give you a brain examination as well.¡±
¡°Who curses their boyfriend like that?¡±
Fu Sichen sat up and extended his arms, smiling. ¡°Good boy. Let big brother give you a hug.¡±
Pei Zhen turned red.
Nevertheless, he walked over to Fu Sichen.
The fact was that being hugged that way on the bed made Pei Zhen feel quite smug. Fu Sichen, on the other hand, insisted that Pei Zhen should hug him back.
Before nodding off, Pei Zhen¡¯s hand slipped downwards and rested on Fu Sichen¡¯s waist, as though he was the top party.
Although it was obvious that he was the bottom party, when he had fallen asleep, he got into a position nestled into Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace.
The two barbaric men were locked in a loving embrace all night, and when dawn broke and the skies turned bright, Best Actor Fu finally had enough energy to jump back to his balcony.
The moment hended on his balcony, Daddy Fu opened the bedroom door, tut-tutting. ¡°Shameless, truly shameless.¡±
Shameless, that he was, he was his son.
Over the next few days, without exception, Fu Sichen did his balcony jumping trick. When Pei Zhenined about it, Fu Sichen replied boldly, ¡°me it on the fact that there is no security barrier on your balcony.¡±
However, that also reminded Fu Sichen that he should get Pei Zhen¡¯s parents to install a security barrier at Pei Zhen¡¯s balcony.
¡°Pei Pei is a celebrity, and his privacy is paramount. I myself am looking into installing it.¡±
Hence the security barriers went up, albeit with twotched openings, one facing the other to allowte night rendezvous.
Pei Zhen had no idea what Fu Sichen had said to get it past his parents. Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow. ¡°Simple. It¡¯s for emergency purposes such as when one of us forgets the house key.¡±
So it didn¡¯t matter that a member of either family forgot their house key, they could make use of the balcony to gain ess to their home. How convenient!
¡°Oh.¡± Pei Zhen smirked. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you think of this the first night that you supposedly forgot your key?¡±
¡°I was in love and smitten, couldn¡¯t think straight.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know how else to convince him.
The two were hurrying towards the city center.
Holidays were always too short, and the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day was drawing near. Work assignments for both Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen were piling up.
Wang Youquan had sent through a picture of noodles to Fu Sichen, apanied by the heart-wrenching text: [Fu Sichen, it wouldn¡¯t be just noodles you¡¯ll be seeing if you further dy your return to filming.]
Fu Sichen¡¯s reply was cruel: [Okay. Wishing you all the best in trying to hang yourself with noodles.]
Fu Sichen gave no thoughts to how his manager would feel, and the icy response almost made Wang Youquan cry.
However, sarcasm aside¡
After Fu Sichen dropped Pei Zhen off at work, he managed to get to his own filming location on time, despite having shared a few intimate moments with his boyfriend before they parted ways.
¡°The most thoughtful Valentine¡¯s Day gift!¡± They were recording a culinary show in preparation for the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day. The show host wore a pink outfit. ¡°Best Actor Fu, today, we are making some chocte bites.¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Best Actor Fu was all game for it.
¡°Will you be making them for yourself?¡± The show host asked with a big smile.
¡°For someone else.¡±

Fu Sichen¡¯s culinary skills were quite peerless.
Not that Fu Sichen made a show of it usually. Most people just assumed that he led a pampered life.
¡°A gift?¡± Now the show host was curious and probed further, asking, ¡°For whom?¡±
Although she had asked it aloud, the show host believed that Fu Sichen would decline to answer. The show host had even thought of a response to that likely scenario.
¡°For your fan? Ahhh¡ Best Actor Fu indeed, it¡¯s no wonder you¡¯re so popr.¡±
s, before the host even had her line ready for delivery, Fu Sichen said in his deep and attractive voice, ¡°It¡¯s for Pei Zhen.¡±
The show host happened to be Pei Zhen¡¯s die-hard fan. She paused when she heard Fu Sichen¡¯s answer, and blurted out without thinking, ¡°What grievances do you have that you would hurt my Daddy Pei!¡±
The lofty and morous celebrity that Fu Sichen was, it was inconceivable that he should know how to cook! It was his virgin attempt to make chocte bites, and he wanted to give it to Pei Zhen¡ªfor sure, he must be waging a personal vendetta against Pei Zhen!
Fu Sichen narrowed his eyes, as did everyone among the audience.
Finally, the show host got over the unexpected answer and wiped the perspiration from her brows. She forced an embarrassed smile, which couldn¡¯t hide her surprise. ¡°Cough, cough¡ I-I mean¡ haha, it¡¯s Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day, and yet you¡¯re thinking of Pei Zhen. You must be good buddies.¡±
The audience was still silent. For the sake of filming, the show director himself started pping. That led to some apuse among the audience, but as the response was somewhat half-hearted, it was a bigger embarrassment than before.
The veteran show host, ady with almost ten years of experience, finally suffered her first defeat! She nced at Fu Sichen, who was very obviously and decidedly displeased. She started to pray fervently in her heart. ¡°Daddy Pei, please bless me so so I don¡¯t get a penalty!¡±
¡°Ahhhhchhhiii¡¡±
The person nestled in the chair gave a loud sneeze, almost dropping the script he held in his hand. That made Xiao Nian, who was just next to him, nervous.
¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian looked at Pei Zhen with a worried expression. ¡°Did you catch a cold? You have to take some medicine. I¡¯ll ask Xiao Qu to go out and buy some.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have a cold.¡± He blew his nose with a serviette and quickly grabbed on to the assistant who was sent to buy medicine. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Your Big Brother Pei is as healthy as¡ ahchoo!¡±
With the sneeze, Big Brother Pei¡¯s script flew out of his hand andnded on the dressing table with a thud. It knocked over the bottles and vials of makeup, sending them rolling off the table onto the floor.
¡°Damn it.¡± Pei Zhen finally caved in, and sat back limply into the chair, misty-eyed. ¡°I guess I really do have a cold after all¡ªI wasn¡¯t sneezing because someone was thinking of me.¡±
Taking medicine wasn¡¯t the worst thing,pared with an injection. Xiao Nian sent the assistant to buy some medicine and Pei Zhen relented. But before the assistant left, Pei Zhen spelled out some important instructions.
¡°Buy something sweet. I¡¯m not going to take anything bitter.¡±
The assistant tripped over himself and almost tumbled down the flight of stairs.
Still, it¡¯s fortunate that, at least, the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day activities publicity trailer had already finished filming. The ambassadorpany was a luxury goods retailer, and they were giving out a bracelet with a minimum purchase.
One of the gifts was a bracelet made of red beans, which had symbolic meaning.
Moreover, to prove to the consumers that the bracelet was handmade, thepany had specially requested for Pei Zhen to demonstrate the making of one.
¡°The red thread must be strung this way, and then this end goes into here¡ that¡¯s right, and then add the red bean.¡±
The workers led Pei Zhen step by step through the process. Pei Zhen¡¯s fingers were long, slender, and beautiful, but he was hopeless at handicrafts.
Although the steps of making the bracelet were exactly the same, the bracelet produced by the workers looked like a piece of ssy essory; while Pei Zhen¡¯s craftsmanship was sloppy and his bracelet looked like it was strung by an animal¡¯s paw.
¡°It¡¯s so ugly it¡¯s got character!¡±
¡°It¡¯s set! I will just buy it! The bracelet is mine!¡±
¡°Whether gold bracelets or silver bracelets, they would never be as good as Daddy Pei¡¯s bracelet!¡±

The filming of Pei Zhen making the bracelet was ¡®live¡¯.
The giftpany was quite strategic and knew how to maximize the use of celebrities.
The fans would, of course, show support when Pei Zhen gave a live broadcast¡ªespecially when they found out that the bracelet made by Pei Zhen would be given out as a freebie. The girl fans and rich housewife fans were immediately excited.
No one cared if the bracelet looked good.
What the dashing Daddy Pei made would naturally look good!
The fans were a formidable force. When one of them sent a gift, it triggered thepetitive nature of the other fans and, at once, the screen filled with countless gifts.
¡°Please stop sending gifts.¡± Now the chatroom screen was filled with prompts from the system, making Pei Zhen feel quite helpless. ¡°Please don¡¯t spend unnecessarily.¡±
A group of people was shrieking on the screen: ¡®Ahhhhh! We¡¯re not spending unnecessarily. For Daddy Pei, we¡¯re willing to give everything!¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t know how else to convince them.
The fans were quite fanatic, and the organizer was, of course, happy. From the initial single giveaway bracelet, they made a few.
That was when Xiao Nian showed his displeasure. He red at the person-in-charge angrily. ¡°Our Pei Pei¡¯s time is precious! What you¡¯ve done vites our Agreement!¡±
Besides, Pei Zhen felt unwell!
¡°Cough, cough.¡± The person-in-chargeughed and quickly passed Xiao Nian a cigarette. ¡°Don¡¯t be mad, Big Brother Xiao. Why don¡¯t we split the live broadcast gifts equally?¡±
Xiao Nian rolled his eyes immediately.
Xiao Nian had wanted to do the righteous thing and say that they shouldn¡¯t profit from the fans that way. However, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that a Ferrari had suddenly appeared on the live broadcast screen.
The gift amounted to about 100,000 dors!
At that moment, the great manager Xiao tossed all ideals and integrity out the window. From then on, the only thing he could think of was how much money that was.
¡°Crap, crap, crap! A hun¡ hun¡ hundred thousand?!¡±
¡°Big brother, I worship! Ahhhhh!!!¡±
¡°No kidding! No kidding! I-I admit defeat.¡±
With the record of that hundred thousand dor-gift, the live broadcast space exploded with voices of admiration and worship. Especially so when following closely, a local strong man crushed the record by pping down a 200,000-dor ¡®diamond ring¡¯.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡± Xiao Nian¡¯s heart was pounding furiously. Spinning around, he turned to face the live broadcast equipment. He started gesturing excitedly and talking incoherently, ¡°Daddy, I think I¡¯m in love! Daddy, can you persevere with it?¡±
Daddy Pei was trying very hard to control his sneeze.
How could Pei Zhen not have guessed what Xiao Nian was thinking? He red at his money-obsessed manager and then nced at the screen, knitting his brows together.
¡°Errrr¡ BestActorFuXHPZ¡? Pei Zhen felt uneasy as he scrutinized the ID of the giver. ¡°Fu Sichen¡¯s fan?¡±
It was quite obvious from the ID that the person was Fu Sichen¡¯s die-hard fan. Why then, did this person go to such extremes to purchase gifts for Pei Zhen?
¡°Best Actor Fu, XH¡ PZ.¡± PZ? What did that stand for? It was as if something was teasing his memory, but it somehow escaped him. Pei Zhen was still amazed. ¡°Thank you for your gift. But you should be rational even if you idolize a celebrity, please don¡¯t spend unnecessarily¡ I will donate this sum of money.¡±
The ID [BestActorFuXHPZ] was in rainbow colors, and whenever it appeared, its vibrancy was attention-grabbing. ¡°You¡¯re donating to the Animal Shelter again?¡±
Hey?! It caught Pei Zhen by surprise. How did that person know?
[BestActorFuXHPZ]: ¡°Darling, let¡¯s negotiate. You can donate the money, of course, but can I have the bracelets?¡±
What?!
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart pounded and missed a beat. He stared at the ID and gradually turned red.

The only person Pei Zhen could think of who would use the term ¡®Darling¡¯ so openly was Fu Sichen; there was no one else.
The point was, no one else would have the guts¡
The very thought of Fu Sichen caused Pei Zhen¡¯s face to burn. Staring at the screen and watching the ceaseless firing ofments, Pei Zhen fell into silence.
¡°Dar¡ darling? Someone is obviously taking liberties with Daddy Pei?!¡±
¡°My foot, in broad daylight¡ªhaving money is a big deal now!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t get worked up just yet; this XHPZ person mentioned Animal Shelter. Does he know Pei Pei personally?¡±
¡°Am I the only person who finds this ID familiar? It seems I¡¯ve seen it somewhere before.¡±
¡°Best Actor Fu! It¡¯s Best Actor Fu¡¯s Weibo ount!¡±
All at once, the live broadcast room was bubbling like boiling water. The fans were squealing like groundhogs. Even Xiao Nian was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask Pei Zhen to ignore themotion, his mobile phone went off.
The iing call number was horrendously familiar, and Xiao Nian felt as though a bomb had exploded inside him. He muttered ¡®Best Actor Fu¡¯ in a low voice, and with shaking hands, he held his phone not knowing if he should disconnect the line. Fu Sichen¡¯s icy image appeared in his mind¡¯s eye.
I guarantee you won¡¯t get to see the sunrise tomorrow if you dare disconnect the line!
The great manager Xiao wasn¡¯t a short man, but he was certainly short of bravery. He took the call with a trembling hand. ¡°Hello, my dear Best Actor Fu, how may I be of service to you?¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s coldughter came through from the other end of the line. ¡°Cut the crap and get Daddy, pass the phone to Pei Zhen.¡±
Xiao Nian turned white in his face. ¡°But, But¡ Pei Pei, he¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to count to 3. One¡¡±
¡°Pei Pei!¡± Xiao Nian rushed over to Pei Zhen, ignoring the fact that Pei Zhen was still in front of the camera. He was almost on his knees, begging Pei Zhen. ¡°Important call, please take it, for I value my life.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes but reached for the phone to take the call. ¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Darling, are you down with a cold?¡± Although it wasn¡¯t a video call, it wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that Fu Sichen was frowning. ¡°You¡¯re sick, and they make you do a live broadcast?¡±
It sounded like Fu Sichen was holding Xiao Nian responsible.
Pei Zhen found it rather heartwarming and felt himself tearing somewhat.
For some reason, Fu Sichen always had Pei Zhen in focus and noticed the tiniest things about him¡ªthe good, the bad, the norm, and the out-of-norm.
That wasn¡¯t to find fault with Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian was an excellent manager and a good friend, but he would only see what Pei Zhen was like on the surface and not his weaknesses.
There was one time Pei Zhen had worked under the hot sun with a raging 39-degree fever, and it was only when he almost fainted that Xiao Nian noticed something was wrong.
If it were Fu Sichen¡
Just like then, even on screen, he could tell that Pei Zhen was unwell.
¡°Small matter.¡± Pei Zhen took a deep breath, trying to control his own tears. ¡°BestActorFuXHPZ is you?¡±
It sounded like Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t going to stop persuading Pei Zhen to stop the live broadcast. However, he did admit, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me.¡±
¡°So what does XHPZ mean?¡±
On the day that Pei Zhenpleted the live broadcast, the ID ¡®BestActorFuXHPZ¡¯ topped the hot search headline.
Those who didn¡¯t watch the live broadcast were dumbfounded. There was a sense of familiarity just looking at the letters¡¯ XHPZ¡¯, but the great realization came when they clicked on the link.
Fu Sichen¡¯s Weibo ount included the four letters too!
But what had that got to do with Pei Zhen¡¯s live broadcast?
¡°XH, can mean like, sabotage, make a joke out of¡ am I being too pessimistic? I somehow don¡¯t think it means ¡®like¡¯.¡±
¡°For sure it doesn¡¯t mean that. There¡¯s only hatred between them; no love.¡±

Two days before the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day, the love-of-the-century romance story between the two men topped the Weibo¡¯s hot search.
Theizen¡¯sments ranged from ¡°Don¡¯t get along¡± to ¡°Love-hate rtionship¡± to an exaggerated ¡°great bitterness and deep hatred¡±.
¡°Wake up, couple fans, do you know how many films Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen have acted in together? Three, and in all three, they acted as enemies!¡±
¡°Even if you want to matchmake men, don¡¯t pick on our Straight Man Pei, thank you [Polite Smile].¡±
¡°The first time Best Actor Fu cooked, he made chocte bites for Number Two Man Pei. Isn¡¯t it obvious enough that he was trying to poison Pei Zhen?!¡±
¡°The show host has spoken out; Fu Sichen must be angry at the CPments that have been circting. Pei Zhen, please stop taking advantage of my hubby to gain attention.¡±
As thements increased, the discussions somehow gained momentum. When the phrase ¡®taking advantage to gain attention¡¯ was used, the respective fans started to take sides to rage a war of sorts.
¡°Huh, what do you know? This is beyond stupid.¡±
Pei Zhen, one of the subjects of the heated discussion, was lying on the bed and surfing Weibo. He let out a loud sneeze as he cursed at how stupid thements were, causing the man in the living room toe running.
¡°Why are you sneezing again?¡± Fu Sichen was carrying a deep frown. ¡°We need to take you to the hospital.¡±
¡°No way!¡± Pei Zhen turned white at the thought of drip bottles and injections. ¡°I was sneezing¡ sneezing for fun.¡±
Fu Sichen narrowed his eyes.
¡°Believe me; I have millions of fans. With so many people thinking of me¡ Ahhhhchoooo¡¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s body seemed to protest at those words and caused another big sneeze. Pei Zhen flopped back onto the bed. ¡°Arghhhhhh! I don¡¯t want any injections! Please, no!¡±
God knew how he got sick. It was infuriating!
¡°Enough. Stop ying the sympathy card.¡± If the little brat didn¡¯t want to go to the hospital, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t have the heart to force him. He walked over to Pei Zhen, confiscated his mobile phone, and pulled a nket over him. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go to the hospital, you have to take medicine at least.¡±
Pei Zhen sniffed, misty-eyes, and said in a soft voice, ¡°Okay.¡±
Fu Sichen had prepared honey to go with the finely-crushed tablet. He pinched Pei Zhen¡¯s chin with an ¡®Ahhhh¡¯, which Pei Zhen parroted cooperatively.
The moment Pei Zhen opened his mouth, the mixture of medicine and honey slipped smoothly down his throat. That was the most sessful attempt by far.
¡°How was that?¡± Fu Sichen lightly pinched the corner of his young boyfriend¡¯s lips, and said in aforting manner, ¡°The medicine isn¡¯t so bitter?¡±
¡°Bitter.¡± The young boyfriend refused to beforted and looked at Fu Sichen with his teary peach blossom eyes. ¡°Need a kiss to feel better.¡±
Fu Sichen narrowed his eyes.
However, he couldn¡¯t resist it.
He bent over and kissed Pei Zhen fully on the lips. ¡°Rascal, you do know how to seduce me. Wang Youquan was right; you¡¯re the queen of all vixen.¡±
Newly-honored with the title of Pei ¡®Vixen Queen¡¯ Zhen, he was quite pleased and smugly said, ¡°Your daddy is quite the charmer, others can only envy.¡±
Kissing his boyfriend waspletely addictive.
One wasn¡¯t afraid of infecting; the other wasn¡¯t afraid of being infected. The sweetness they felt when their lips touched was iparable. The moment Fu Sichen parted his lips, the man beneath him would automatically extend his tongue in an anxious exploration of the other. Then their breathing would be quick and shallow.
Hot. The fire from Fu Sichen¡¯s loin scorched his throat, and he couldn¡¯t stop his hand from wandering into the folds of the nket seeking out the corner of Pei Zhen¡¯s shirt, gently caressing and stroking.
¡°Do you know.¡± The dashing looking man with his deep eyes gazed at his young boyfriend with burning desire. ¡°Exercising will help you get well faster.¡±
The young boyfriend on the bed was stunned for a moment. ¡°What sort of exercise?¡±
¡°In ordance with the Law of Nature¡ªthe sort of exercise that propagates the Human race¡±
Chapter 191 - I Like You
Chapter 191: I Like You
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
To multiply for the sake of the human race?
In other words, bedroom activities!
Pei Zhen came out of his daze immediately. Pushing Fu Sichen away and pulling up his nket, he wrapped himself up tightly. ¡°Don¡¯te near me, or you¡¯ll be infected!¡±
Fu Sichen tried not to roll his eyes.
Fu Sichen was annoyed as hell. Great, why didn¡¯t Pei Zhen worry about infecting him when he was fooling around and teasing him earlier on? But the moment matters hinted at the topic of sex he came up with a hundred and one reasons.
¡°Pei Zhen.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were dark and mysterious. His voice was hoarse, and it was hard to suppress the growing desire and tension. ¡°You¡¡±
He had barely issued the threat when the man on the bed made an annoyed sound and asked, ¡°What?¡±
At that point, a thin film of mucus came trickling down his nostril. Itpletely destroyed his image.
It was getting even more ridiculous.
¡°Darn!¡± Pei Zhen felt as though that was the end of his lifetime achievements; his good-looking face turned a bright red as he stammered in self-defense, ¡°T-this¡ is an ident. I¡ I¡¡±
Eventually, he couldn¡¯t bear it. Completely embarrassed, he pulled the nket over his head. ¡°What are you looking at? No matter how you look, Daddy is still beautiful!¡±
Yes, that was true; he was a beautiful man.
With Pei Zhen¡¯s stuffy nose, it was hard to maintain any sort of highly-charged atmosphere. The young boyfriend was still sick, and between being a beast and an aching heart, the aching heart won hands-down.
¡°Go to sleep.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s gentle voice was like the sound of nature. He pulled down the nket. ¡°I¡¯m not going to top you.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s face heated up again. ¡°Okay.¡±
His nose was stuffed, and his head was heavy with the cold. Pei Zhen was physically weak and not feeling his best. Naturally, he knew he wasn¡¯t in any condition to tease Fu Sichen.
If he made a joke and it turned Fu Sichen on, he wouldn¡¯t have the energy to struggle with the man.
Pei Zhen closed his eyes, and sleep came upon him like a thick fog. He vaguely felt Fu Sichen kiss him on his ear, whispering an ¡®I like you¡¯ that echoed in his head a thousand times. How sweet it sounded.
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart skipped a beat again when he abruptly recalled the scene of the live broadcast.
¡°So, what does XHPZ mean?¡±
Only a telephone receiver separated them, but it suddenly felt like they were millions of miles apart. The wind carried his voice and blew it gently into his ears.
¡°Like Pei Zhen, of course¡ Pei Pei, I really like you.¡±
Pei Zhen had no recollection of falling asleep. In any case, it was the first time that falling sick didn¡¯t feel like too much of a bother. Only, when he woke up the next morning, he found himself¡ªonce again¡ªlocked in Fu Sichen¡¯s embrace. It stirred subtle feelings in him.
¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes snapped open the moment he felt the man stir in his embrace. The first thing he did was to check Pei Zhen¡¯s body temperature.
Forehead to forehead, feelings were beside the point. Just that, when they were so close and their breaths hot upon each other, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression intensified.
¡°How are you feeling now?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine now,¡± Pei Zhen assured him.
After a short pause, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but extend his arm to push Fu Sichen away. ¡°Stay away. As long as you¡¯re not going to top me, I¡¯ll befortable!¡±
Was it really gentlemanly being so sexual first thing in the morning!
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t really care about how Fu Sichen would feel after he pushed him away like that. He turned over and got off his bed, heading into the bathroom alone.
After a night¡¯s sleep, his dder was protesting. But as he headed to relieve himself, Fu Sichen followed behind.
Having someone staring, even if that someone had a casual look about him, Pei Zhen still couldn¡¯t help feeling embarrassed. ¡°What?!¡±
¡°Waiting for you to finish emptying your dder.¡± Fu Sichen raised his eyebrow and smiled. ¡°Hurry up. I need to relieve myself too.¡±

The more Fu Sichen hurried him, the more nervous Pei Zhen became. Eventually, he was so frustrated that he pulled up his zipper. ¡°I¡¯m not going to do it!¡±
¡°How could you not!¡±
Pei Zhen wanted out, but Fu Sichen didn¡¯t allow it. He stood between Pei Zhen and the doorway, then pushed his young boyfriend back towards the urinal.
¡°What are you nervous about? We¡¯re both men.¡±
Pei Zhen was red from his face down to his shoulder. ¡°Bull! You¡¯re not straight!¡±
Who knew what would happen when a gay man and a straight man were alone together.
¡°Would I have been able to hook you if I were straight?¡± Fu Sichen wouldn¡¯t budge an inch no matter what Pei Zhen said. He walked around and held Pei Zhen from behind, unzipping Pei Zhen¡¯s pants. ¡°Here, I¡¯m helping you.¡±
Pei Zhen almost died.
¡°Noting out?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s lips brushed against Pei Zhen¡¯s earlobes, causing a tingling and electrifying response. ¡°Do I have to whistle?¡±
¡°No, no need.¡± Covering his eyes with the back of his hand, Pei Zhen relented, thinking it was totally pointless to struggle. He might as well do it. ¡°Hold straight.¡±
That was the longest trip to the bathroom he¡¯d ever taken, and also the most embarrassing.
Pei Zhen¡¯s legs were almost giving way by the time he came out of the toilet. Fu Sichen even asked him if he¡¯d like the favor returned. ¡°I do feel bad that the help was one way.¡±
Pei Zhen immediatelyughed coldly and raised his middle finger.
After taking his medicine and a nap, Pei Zhen seemed to have recovered somewhat from the cold. Recalling that he¡¯d not finished with checking out Weibo the night before, he took out his mobile and started to browsing.
Most of thements tended towards the denial of any special rtionship between Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen, regarding the four letters ¡®XHPZ¡¯, there was even a conspiracy theory, where some wanted to decode each letter.
Pei Zhen snorted, and after some serious deliberation, he thought if he made a statement or posted a ¡®Like¡¯, he could still use the excuse of ¡®brotherly love¡¯ to get it past his parents. Suddenly he was quite smug again.
He posted a ¡®Like¡¯ for everyment that guessed ¡®XH means like¡¯. In under a quarter of an hour, expectedly, that surged to the top search again.
¡°Pei Pei posted a ¡®Like¡¯??!!¡±
¡°My hands are shaking; my hands are shaking.¡±
¡°That¡¯s an exaggeration.¡±
Seeing theizens debating about it, Pei Zhen felt quite satisfied. Tossing his mobile phone aside, he did some quick mental calctions before heading into the bathroom to wash up.
As expected, Fu Sichen was done in the bathroom.
Since Pei Zhen starteding over, an extra set of toiletries had appeared on the sink counter. The two men didn¡¯t mind sharing the small space of the bathroom. Thezy Pei Zhen leaned against Fu Sichen as he brushed his teeth, and the next thing he knew, his face was covered with shaving foam as Fu Sichen leaned over to kiss him.
It was unbelievably adorable.
Fu Sichen was happy and content even when snubbed.
It was difficult to call an end to the washing up. Before making breakfast, Fu Sichen had passed a script to Pei Zhen. ¡°Have a look.¡±
When Pei Zhen looked up, the first thing he saw was the red bean bracelet around Fu Sichen¡¯s wrist. He turned a bright scarlet. ¡°Your Daddy demands quite a high fee for working on films.¡±
¡°I¡¯m aware.¡± Fu Sichen smiled. ¡°When the timees, I¡¯ll hand over my film earnings to you for safekeeping.¡±
¡°B-but why?¡± Pei Zhen asked.
¡°Don¡¯t men hand over their pay to their wives? This is the tradition in the Fu family.¡±
That wasn¡¯t what Pei Zhen expected.
Not too keen to continue the conversation on film earning, Pei Zhen started to read the script. But on flipping the pages open, the familiarity made him want to hit someone.
It was that freaking bunch of cutest guy in ss and cutest guy in school again. So it seemed that Fu SIchen had not yet given up the idea of acting in a gay-themed movie.
¡°I¡¯m not acting in this,¡± Pei Zhen said indignantly, ¡°Such a feeble role doesn¡¯t suit me.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Fu Sichen was calm, and like a magician, he whipped out a stack of another four or five scripts. cing them before Pei Zhen, he said, ¡°Take your pick. We¡¯ll work hard together for the sake of all the gay people in the world.¡±
Speechless, Pei Zhen was infuriated.
Fu Sichen!
You¡¯re toxic!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Apart from the fact that the two male leads were men, Fu Sichen selected all of the scripts carefully, and the plot and characters weren¡¯t bad at all.
Although Pei Zhen took issue with it, one brilliant script hooked him the moment he started reading it. It was somewhat of an ¡®Infernal Affairs¡¯ equivalent.
One of the main actors had a split personality and to get close to a figure rting to his assigned duty, he sought the help of a psychologist to erase the memory of his previous involvement with the triads¡ªso that he could join the police force.
He and the other main actor then became good friends.
They developed a close bond that was very sweet in the beginning, but that turned into bitter hatred once they found out about each other¡¯s true identity.
The reason that Pei Zhen liked the conflicting role was because of the challenge it presented. For instance, the outwardly hostile character was actually quite kind-hearted; and how the exterior righteousness of the character hid his secretive, dark past.
It was very emotive!
It brought out a rare enthusiasm in Pei Zhen, and he found himself thinking of this script even during mealtime.
The ss of milk ced before Pei Zhen was giving out a faint aroma, and Pei Zhen¡¯s gaze fell onto Fu Sichen¡¯s long, slender fingers.
¡°I¡¯ve thought about it. Don¡¯t you regret it.¡±
Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow.
¡°If I take up this role, then this year¡¯s Best Actor Award will certainlye to me.¡±
Fu Sichen, strangely, liked Pei Zhen¡¯s smug look. There was a sparkle in his eyes.
¡°Great.¡± Pursing his lips and trying not tough aloud, Fu Sichen said softly, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for that moment.¡±
Once that was settled, Pei Zhen was more enthused than Fu Sichen. He prodded Fu Sichen to inform Wang Youquan, and he would give Xiao Nian the heads-up.
Only, the moment Pei Zhen picked up the mobile phone, it went off with an iing call from his manager.
¡°Pei Zhen!¡± Dong Hai Fairy Girl Xiao Nian Nian sounded out-of-breath and was shrieking at the top of his voice, ¡°Tell me! Are you possessed by the spirit of Fu Sichen?!¡±
Waking upte in the day because his artiste didn¡¯t have any assignments, Xiao Nian was going to contact his wife to have a round of online gaming when he noticed a message pushed out by Weibo. He almost passed out reading it.
Pei Zhen posted a ¡®Like¡¯!
The four letters were like four daggers piercing right through his heart!
¡°What possessed?¡± Pei Zhen scratched his ear carelessly. ¡°To be honest, previously, Fu Sichen¡¯s big thumbs-up ¡®Like¡¯ post was my doing too.¡±
Xiao Nian, who was unaware of that, was bbergasted.
¡°Well.¡± Pei Zhen was more concerned about the oue. ¡°I¡¯m sure now no one will say that Fu Sichen and I are hostile towards each other.¡±
¡°Ummmm¡¡± said Xiao Nian, ¡°They recognize it to be in line with your personality and that you¡¯re the same old smug person.¡±
What?! Pei Zhen was disgusted.
After they hung up, Pei Zhen hurriedly logged into Weibo.
While the Netizens did respond warmly, they ascribed the reason for Pei Zhen to have posted the ¡®Like¡¯ to be due to his arrogance. That was painful!
¡°Tsk tsk, this is indeed Daddy Pei. Who else would dare to dere that Best Actor Fu likes him.¡±
¡°Pei Pei is such azy person, who is to say that this ¡®Like¡¯ posting wasn¡¯t made by Xiao Nian instead. Recently, the couple has been making big news.¡±
¡°Logical, reasonable. I¡¯m sure Xiao Nian is trying to milk Daddy Pei¡¯s market value.¡±
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t believe it.
His heart was racing anxiously like a thousand horses. Or, more like, what the fxxx.
¡°Let¡¯s break up.¡± Pei Zhen was infuriated just looking at the hot search. He red at Fu Sichen. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you in such a pathetic pairing¡ªwe even failed at a scandal attempt.¡±
There was no way a break-up would happen. Fu Sichen smiled as he pursed his lips. He walked towards Pei Zhen and drew the man against himself. ¡°It seems that being together isn¡¯t easy.¡±
With a click, he conveniently took a picture of them and uploaded it with a deration.
¡°We are very close.¡±

The picture posted by Fu Sichen and the deration was obviously an attempt ating out.
The rich housewife fans of both menmented over it all day, heartbroken. The champion manager Wang Youquan felt that it was time he came to the rescue.
He got in contact with the filming crew and released the news of Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen co-starring in the gay-themed movie, and immediately the move pacified a great number of people.
It naturally got people thinking that it was a publicity strategy for the new film, and once people fixated on that idea, it stuck.
However, when Fu Sichen found out what Wang Youquan had done, he almost ripped Wang Youquan¡¯s head off!
¡°You can forget about this month¡¯s bonus.¡±
In the space of a telephone call, Best Actor Fu totally crushed Wang Youquan¡¯s heart, and thetter almost burst into tears.
¡°I¡ I¡ I just have Pei Zhen¡¯s interest at heart!¡±
¡°Sichen, think about it. If Pei Zhen¡¯s parents found out that their son was gay, they¡¯d be devastated.¡±
¡°I¡¯m just meticulous. Your Highness, honest advice is always unpleasant to the ears¡ªplease do re-consider carefully.¡±
The Tyrant Fu didn¡¯t wish to re-consider; all he cared about was that he let a chance slip to tell the world that ¡®Pei Pei was his¡¯.
Once the script was nailed down, they made arrangements for the filming start date. However, prior to filming, Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen returned to their hometown once more.
They lived only a door away from each other. Seizing the opportunity that there was no one else along the corridor, they were intimate for a while.
¡°I¡¯m going home.¡± Pei Zhen finally let Fu Sichen go after the lovey-dovey session. ¡°We¡¯ll be caught if we hang around any longer.¡±
¡°Come over to my ce to sleep tonight.¡± Not wanting to let go, Fu Sichen held on to Pei Zhen¡¯s hand, his voice still hoarse. ¡°My parents won¡¯t be home tonight.¡±
Pei Zhen paused.
He gave Fu Sichen a dirty look. ¡°This is insanity.¡±
How could they be so stuck-together?
It wasn¡¯t as if they hadn¡¯t seen each other in ages.
The two held hands and looked at each other for another long while until footsteps from inside the house approached. Then, in a sh, they stood apart.
Pei Zhen¡¯s mother opened the front door.
A bright smile spread across her face when she saw the two boys. Pulling Pei Zhen along, she invited Fu Sichen into the house. ¡°Sichen, have you had any food? We¡¯ve made dinner.¡±
¡°No need.¡± Fu Sichen smiled gently. ¡°Thank you, Aunty, but I¡¯ve eaten.¡±
After an exchange of greetings, they went back to their respective homes.
That time it was Pei Zhen¡¯s father who cooked.
It wasn¡¯t the tastiest, but at least it tasted normal.
The spread included pig¡¯s kidneys, oysters, and even bull¡¯s penis. Pei Zhen was taken aback and looked at his parents speechlessly.
¡°Dad, you¡¡± His father was the only reason he could think of. ¡°You¡¯re having trouble¡?¡±
¡°Rubbish.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s father almost pped the boy. ¡°You scoundrel, how rude is that. This is all for¡ arghhhh.¡±
Before he could say the word ¡®you¡¯, Pei Zhen¡¯s mother pinched him on his arm, almost making him yell in pain. Then, he forgot what he was about to say.
¡°This¡ this is for the nourishing the body.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s mother smiled. ¡°Pei Pei, filming is hard work. Look at you; you¡¯re so skinny.¡±
¡°B-but I don¡¯t need this sort of nourishing.¡±
Furthermore, there were chives, liver, and all that. All the foods had aphrodisiac effects.
Although Pei Zhen led a pampered life and never had to cook for himself, he didn¡¯tck general knowledge. He wanted to avoid such toxic foods, but his father insisted that he should eat them.
¡°Eat up! Look at how small you are. If you don¡¯t nourish your body, how will you fend for yourself? Surely my son should not be the bottom party!¡±
¡°What?!¡± Eximed Pei Zhen.
The spoon fell onto the floor with a thud. Seriously, he had a hunch that his parents must have suspected something.

¡°Really, that was weird.¡±
¡°They insisted that I had to nourish my body.¡±
¡°The moment I downed the bull¡¯s penis, I felt like I was rising at the speed of light.¡±
The Best Actor and Best Actor candidate were in the room; there was no one else. Their initial intention was to discuss the script. Of course, that was naive thinking.
Pei Zhen was nestled on the sofanguidly, flipping through the script. Naturally, Best Actor Fu found it irresistible and insisted on sharing the same sofa.
Holding Pei Zhen¡¯s hand, his gaze wandered and fell on his boyfriend¡¯s neatly trimmed nails. It was hard to guess what he was thinking from his profound expression.
¡°I¡¯m talking to you.¡± Pei Zhen was somewhat annoyed by theck of response from Fu Sichen. He lifted his foot and kicked Fu Sichen. ¡°Your head is always full of dirty thoughts.¡±
It was a light kick, but it caused Fu Sichen much amusement. Heughed. ¡°You seem to know what I¡¯m thinking without needing me to say it aloud.¡±
¡°How would I not know?¡± Pei Zhen leaned in closer to Fu Sichen, almost breathing into the man¡¯s ear. He said seductively, ¡°You¡¯re thinking that I should be putting my hand to good use on your big jewel.¡±
What ¡®big jewel¡¯ meant, the two men had an unspoken understanding.
It was a rare asion that Fu Sichen would turn a little red at the tips of his ears from Pei Zhen¡¯s words. But even then, he was unabashed as he lifted his head and looked at Pei Zhen with his eyes aze. ¡°Yes?¡±
¡°In your dreams.¡±
Pei Zhen gave him a dirty look and retracted his hand. It was in broad daylight, and furthermore, they were at the filming location. Pei Zhen certainly wasn¡¯t going to be as shameless as Fu Sichen.
¡°I¡¯m asking you a question. Stop thinking about other things.¡±
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Fu Sichen sat up properly, having had his cover blown. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. We¡¯ve been cautious, haven¡¯t we?¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
It was quite an incredulous idea to think that someone who jumped over the balcony every night would believe that they had been cautious.
¡°Uncle and Aunty are just concerned about your health, I¡¯m sure. You¡¯ve lost weight recently.¡± Holding Pei Zhen¡¯s wrist, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was gloomy and pensive. ¡°Stop losing weight.¡±
¡°If I don¡¯t, I¡¯ll look fat on camera,¡± saying that, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t resist adding, ¡°And stop cooking such delicious meals.¡±
Fu Sichen suddenly lightened up. ¡°This is quite impossible.¡±
It was a well-known fact that the way to someone¡¯s heart was through the stomach. In Pei Zhen¡¯s presence, Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t going to hide his strengths.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Fu Sichen remembered the chocte bites that he had made previously and tempted Pei Zhen. ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together tonight?¡±
Pei Zhen raised an eyebrow. ¡°Don¡¯t we have filming tonight?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s try and get that done by this afternoon.¡± Fu Sichen challenged him swiftly. ¡°In any case, I¡¯m sure I canplete my filming this afternoon, but you might not be able to?¡±
¡°Huh. Who do you think you¡¯re talking to?¡± Obviously Pei Zhen knew that it was Fu Sichen¡¯s strategy to get him to agree, but still, he bit the bait. ¡°Daddy would surely be ahead of you.¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was pensive. ¡°Yes, you are quick. A man quick in every way.¡±
Pei Zhen narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he felt that Fu Sichen¡¯s remark had a hidden meaning. It was just as annoying as beingbeled impotent!
It was always a great joy to film with someone who was a highly-skilled actor.
Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen were both talented actors. Before the camera, they slipped into their roles quickly and got all their lines right. All afternoon they prodded each other on andpleted the filming, the chemistry was so good they could stay in their characters forever. It was marvelous!
¡°Daddy.¡± Xiao Nian followed behind as Pei Zhen returned to the resting room. ¡°Can I take leave for tonight?¡±
Pei Zhen looked at him quizzically, waiting to hear a reason.
¡°I have a date tonight. I want to take my wife out to look at the moon, count the stars, and spend time together on Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day!¡±
Speechless.

Idiot.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he discharged the manager, indicating that Xiao Nian should scram as far as he could.
¡°It will be a long night for Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day. Although you¡¯re single and that¡¯s lonesome and tough, don¡¯t worry, Daddy¡ªI¡¯m with you in spirit!¡±
In the past, every time such torturous festivities came around, Xiao Nian would stick tightly to Pei Zhen and insist that they spent the time together.
That year was an exception.
These days, Xiao Nian focused all his attention on his ¡®wife¡¯ from the online gaming tform and treated Pei Zhen as a pathetic single man who didn¡¯t even have a fictitious girlfriend.
It was true that Pei Zhen didn¡¯t have a girlfriend, but he had a boyfriend!
His boyfriend had just hurried over to look for him after removing his makeup, and his expression dropped a few degrees when he saw Xiao Nian. He walked over to them and, with a single hand movement, swept Xiao Nian¡¯s hand off Pei Zhen¡¯s shoulder.
¡°B-Best Actor Fu¡¡± As usual, a trying-hard-to-please smile spread across his face when he saw Fu Sichen. ¡°You¡¯vee to look for Pei Pei?¡±
Fu Sichen gave him a look that told him he was asking the obvious.
¡°In¡ in¡ in that case, please continue with your scripts¡¡± Xiao Nian coughed twice and signaled to Pei Zhen before he hurriedly scurried away.
¡°Hey.¡± Pei Zhen looked displeased recalling Xiao Nian¡¯s words. ¡°Why do you think no one suspects that we are together, and thinks that we¡¯re sharing this space so that we can discuss the script?¡±
Fu Sichen paused for a bit. He was overjoyed that Pei Zhen would think that way, and a smile washed over his face. He took Pei Zhen¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Xiao Nian is not too intelligent and has limited brain capacity. He doesn¡¯t understand the love between us.¡±
Pei Zhen made an annoyed sound and didn¡¯t object.
As they were going out for dinner, Pei Zhen had to put on a light disguise, since they hadn¡¯te out to their parents.
There were only a handful of blessed people in the world who received perfect features. Even with dark sses and a mask on, one could tell just by looking at Pei Zhen¡¯s facial contours that his beauty had an unearthly quality.
They left from the back entrance of the filming location. Wang Youquan had been dismissed earlier, driving the mini-van that Fu Sichen would normally use.
Fu Sichen had instead retrieved the Land Rover from his luxury cars garage. The body of the car wasrge, and its body shape resembled that of a wild beast¡ªmenacing and overbearing.
Pei Zhen looked on with envy. ¡°Limited edition? How did you manage to get this, Fu Sichen?¡±
Fu Sichen opened the passenger seat door for Pei Zhen and leaned over so that he was closer to the man. ¡°Do you like it? Kiss me, and I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
¡°For real?¡±
Pei Zhen took Fu Sichen¡¯s words as a joke. The fact was that he¡¯d wanted to kiss Fu Sichen anyway.
His lifted his head and pressed his lips against his boyfriend¡¯s thin and good-looking ones. It was intended to be a quick kiss, but once the lips met, it was as though they were addicted to each other.
Although it was the back room of the filming location, it wasn¡¯t unexpected to have reporters lurking around there sometimes.
The two of them were entwined for a while, their breathing bing heavy and rapid. It was only when Pei Zhen was almost out of breath that Fu Sichen reluctantly got up.
Walking around to the driver¡¯s seat, Fu Sichen got into the car and started the engine. Just as he looked into the rear view mirror, he thought he spotted a bright red dot shing across the mirror. But when he looked again, it was gone and everything seemed normal.
It could¡¯ve been his imagination.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t think any further of it. He stepped on the elerator and drove away.
Fu Sichen had made a reservation at a well-known Michelin-star restaurant in Dong Hai City.
The hotel was by the sea and offered a peerless view of the magnificent waves through its full-length windows. Particrly at night, there was no other restaurants around that could beat this.
¡°Any wine for you?¡± Fu Sichen asked Pei Zhen in his irresistibly sultry and deep voice. ¡°They do carry a very well-known collection of red wine here.¡±
What would drinking wine mean?
Pei Zhen had a strange gut feeling about that.
He was a little nervous, but one couldn¡¯t tell from his face. In a rxed manner, he replied, ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll have a drink.¡±
Alcohol gives courage, and makes one lose control!

Chapter 197: Pei Pei, You Should Turn 18 Tonight

Before he was together with Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen never really cared about Valentine¡¯s Day or Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day.
Since they became an item, things had been different.
Even the 11th of November had be a day to mark out the singles. Hence, a day such as the Chinese Valentine¡¯s day couldn¡¯t possibly go without special activities.
Pei Zhen reflected on all the knowledge he had gathered thus far on the steps to gettingid. God knew where his courage and confidence wereing from, but he was feeling extremely puffed up and high.
He lifted his hand with aplomb. ¡°Drink up, drink all you can. We¡¯ll not go home until we¡¯re drunk!¡±
Fu Sichen was surprised.
He had no idea what his young boyfriend was thinking, for if he did, he¡¯d have stripped Pei Zhen¡¯s pants off right away and topped him there and then.
Drinking was necessary, but it shouldn¡¯t be overboard. Fu Sichen had made a calcted measure and ordered just enough to get Little Brat Pei drunk.
One could see why the restaurant¡¯s wine was so highly-acimed.
One wouldn¡¯t feel the effect after the first few sips, but after a ss, it kicked in. Pei Zhen¡¯s eyes grew misty, and his gaze rested on Fu Sichen¡¯s hand.
Fu Sichen wore his sleeves folded upwards, and Pei Zhen spied the bracelet on his wrist¡ªthe red bean was sitting on his wristbone, and his skin was pale against its bright color.
¡°You¡¯re really wearing the bracelet.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s handsome face was a shade of light red, and it was hard to tell if he was drunk on alcohol or drunk on love. ¡°I really sucked at putting that bracelet together.¡±
The corners of Fu Sichen¡¯s lips turned upwards to form a slight smile. He took a sip of wine and asked, ¡°But how does it look on me?¡±
¡°¡.Looks good,¡± Pei Zhen said.
It was baffling how Fu Sichen turned out to be so stunning.
His face looked stunning, his physique was stunning, and the red bracelet didn¡¯t even look girly. Instead, he made it look good.
¡°Then, that¡¯s more than enough.¡± Fu Sichen ced his wine ss on the table, and then, as if by magic, he took out a box of chocte bites. ¡°Thank you for the Valentine¡¯s Day gift. As a return gift, I made this for you.¡±
It was Fu Sichen¡¯s first attempt at making chocte bites, but that didn¡¯t faze the talented genius a bit. He even adjusted the amount of sugar in the recipe in order to suit Pei Zhen¡¯s taste.
¡°Chocte with wine-filled centers¡ªcocktail, Vodka, Whiskey¡ try them.¡±
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t like chocte, but he¡¯d eat them for Fu Sichen¡¯s sake. Although, he was curious. ¡°Why are they all filled with alcohol?¡±
Fu Sichenughed. ¡°Of course it¡¯s to get you drunk. Pei Pei, you should turn 18 tonight.¡±
Pei Zhen blinked.
Pei Zhen, who always thought of himself as an under-aged kid, had been cornered.
He didn¡¯t eat much of the candlelight dinner, but he was vaguely aware that he seemed to have had a bit too much to drink. Eventually, he was dead drunk, and even started to shout that he wanted to buy a castle for Fu Sichen.
¡°In my dream, there was a castle, and in the castle lived a little fairy girl called Sichen.¡±
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t too thrilled to be portrayed as a little fairy girl.
But it was a careless move on his part that, instead of an obedient little angel, the Pei Zhen that he had on hand was apletely drunk man.
With great effort, he managed to drag Pei Zhen back to the Presidential Suite. The moment they shut the door and turned around, the drunk man rushed towards the bed.
¡°That excited?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was gloomy for a bit. He unbuttoned his shirt as he walked towards the bed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯ll be gentle.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not worried!¡± Pei Zhen shook off his shoes, jumped onto the King-sized bed, and removed his jacket. ¡°Let¡¯s party!¡±
Of course, Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t help feeling d that the man he loved was so enthusiastic. He was going to be a little more reserved and elegant in his approach and had tried to keep his impulsiveness and uncouthness in check. However, by that point, the Little Brat Pei had rolled up his jacket and was holding it like a microphone.
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s hear all of you cheer!¡±
Fu Sichen looked at Pei Zhen in bewilderment.
¡°It¡¯s a matter of course that I¡¯ve been honored with the Best Actor award. In the previous years, I¡¯ve been giving Fu Sichen chances.¡±
Excuse me?!

Chapter 198: I Won¡¯t Let You Be Hurt Again!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The Chinese Valentine¡¯s evening was a night of romance and ambiguous affairs, yet Fu Sichen waspletely exhausted.
To be dreaming of having be Best Actor, Fu Sichen wondered just how much resentment his young boyfriend had harbored over time.
Fu Sichen was emotionally drained and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t get the Best Actor award.¡± His young boyfriend turned sullen and plonked himself down on the bed, kicking up a tantrum.
¡°Life is meaningless. What¡¯s the point of living if I don¡¯t be Best Actor? Boo hoo.¡±
Fu Sichen had never seen that side of Pei Zhen. It was very adorable, no doubt, but it also spoiled his ns for the night, which was terribly annoying.
¡°Fine, fine. You¡¯re Best Actor.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s words were careless and half-hearted as he started to remove Pei Zhen¡¯s shirt. ¡°Best Actor, we have to go to bed now.¡±
¡°No!¡± ¡®Best Actor¡¯ Pei resisted Fu Sichen¡¯s attempt aggressively by clutching at his own cor with one hand. ¡°I don¡¯t ept unwritten rules! I earned the award through my own capability!¡±
Fu Sichen was stumped.
Seriously.
He only wanted to have sex, why was it proving to be so difficult?!
¡°There are no unwritten rules disadvantaging you.¡± Fu Sichen tried tofort Pei Zhen through gritted teeth. ¡°You defeated Fu Sichen through your own capability, and you¡¯re the true Best Actor.¡±
The little drunk was still not satisfied after Fu Sichen sang his praises, and his expression darkened. ¡°Since when did you have the right to speak of Fu Sichen. My Big Brother Sichen is the best in the world!¡±
Fine. Only Pei Zhen could criticize Fu Sichen. All others, not even Fu Sichen himself, had the right to speak ill of Fu Sichen.
Fu Sichen was all at once happy and speechless. The emotions wereplex. Finally, after considerable efforts to pacify the drunk, thetter fell asleep immediately and even started to snore quietly.
¡ How infuriating!
After a back-breaking evening, Fu Sichen thought that he might as well take a shower the next morning instead. When he awoke the next day and opened his eyes, he found Pei Zhen gazing back at him.
Little Brat Pei looked rather guilty and even turned quite red when he looked at Fu Sichen. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡±
¡®Yes.¡± Fu Sichen grunted without much expression on his face. The fact that he hadn¡¯t been satisfied was causing him some unhappiness. His voice was hoarse, and he said, ¡°Thirsty.¡±
¡°Okay, okay.¡± Little Brat Pei, who normally acted like a prince who never lifted a finger, was suddenly considerate. He turned over and got out of bed to pour a ss of water for Fu Sichen. He even sipped it for temperature before passing the ss to his boyfriend. ¡°It¡¯s warm, good for you.¡±
Fu Sichen could only assume that his young boyfriend was feeling bad about getting all drunk the night before, and his expression lightened slightly. He took a sip from the ss and asked, ¡°What about you? Are you okay?¡±
¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± Pei Zhen said after a moment of internal concentration. He was even a little smug. ¡°I can skip and jump¡ªvery alive. I¡¯m more concerned about you.¡±
Fu Sichen frowned. ¡°What?¡±
¡°Was it painful for you?¡±
The scene that greeted Pei Zhen when he opened his eyes was a disheveled Fu Sichen. In addition, their jackets were strewn on the floor, among handfuls of tissue paper all over. It was a very suggestive scene that left much to the imagination.
At first, Pei Zhen wondered if he had been taken advantage of. He was going to throttle Fu Sichen, but a quick self-check showed that nothing of that sort could have happened.
However, it didn¡¯t look the same for Fu Sichen.
He looked tired¡ªeven exhausted.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t for his life recall anything about the night before but did spin an imaginative earth-shattering ount of how he topped Fu Sichen.
¡°It was my first time, and maybe my technique wasn¡¯t up to standard.¡± Although those words sounded like what a guilty person would have said, there was no way one could miss the smug undertone. ¡°But don¡¯t worry. I guarantee vast improvement on the second try, and I won¡¯t let you be hurt again.¡±
Finally, understanding what his young boyfriend was feeling guilty over, Fu Sichen¡¯s expression was suddenly dark like an impending storm. With a crackle he crushed the paper cup he was holding.
¡°Pei! Zhen!¡±

Chapter 199: Darling, I Will Be Very Gentle
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fu Sichen¡¯s face was ck as a pot, and he destroyed the feeble paper cup. The remaining water at the bottom of the cup rained pathetically onto the bed.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t understand why Fu Sichen was so angry. It wasn¡¯t as though he didn¡¯t want to take responsibility.
¡°Your Daddy Pei is a responsible person.¡± Pei Zhen dered with much boldness. ¡°I won¡¯t just abandon you after sleeping with you¡ that¡¯s right!¡±
Before he could finish what he was saying, he was suddenly picked up by a great force. The room spun, and he found himself pinned to the bed.
¡°You!¡± Pei Zhen eximed.
He looked at the man who was now on top of him and had no idea what happened. How on earth did they, in the blink of an eye, exchange position?
¡°First time?¡± There was something dangerous in Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze. He held Pei Zhen¡¯s stunning face in his hands, and the act was extremely suggestive. ¡°And you desire a second time?¡±
Their faces were barely an inch apart, their hot breaths mingled, and their postures were stiff with tension. ¡°I-I said I¡¯d be careful¡¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± The good-looking man squinted, as if deep in thought. Then holding Pei Zhen, he flipped the both of them over. ¡°Well then, you do it. Be gentle.¡±
¡°What?¡± Pei Zhen was stunned.
The man beneath him smiled and couldn¡¯t help teasing, saying, ¡°Execute your second time.¡±
Pei Zhen paused.
What the¡ª! He wants to do it in the day!
Under such a circumstance, no real man would ever say that he couldn¡¯t do it. Although Pei Zhen had doubts and reservations, he was still smug that he was in the leading position. He lifted Fu Sichen¡¯s chin with one hand, leaned over, and kissed Fu Sichen on the lips.
¡°Sweetheart, does your lower back hurt? And does that spot hurt?¡±
With great effort, Fu Sichen resisted the urge tough. His hand already encircled Pei Zhen¡¯s waist. ¡°No¡, it doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Just you wait, I¡¯ll show you what being alpha is about!
¡°Great.¡± The kisses gradually made their way downwards. Pei Zhen followed the steps given in the research materials that he had gathered. He nted kisses from the corner of Fu Sichen¡¯s lips to his Adam¡¯s apple, then enclosed it with his mouth.
As expected, the man beneath him moaned softly.
Fu Sichen¡¯s hoarseness, restraint, and sensuality aroused Pei Zhen and gave him courage. With great satisfaction he continued his way downwards, even squeezing Fu Sichen¡¯s waist here and there, like a veteran.
Oh, that damning clean and pure look!
Fu Sichen¡¯s body was hot from the teasing, and his breath was quick and shallow. Unable to hold off much longer, he grabbed Pei Zhen¡¯s hand. ¡°Hurry.¡±
s, Little Brat Pei was but a paper general. ¡°D-do what?¡±
¡°Haven¡¯t you done it once?¡± Fu Sichen looked at him with eyes that were deep like the ocean. ¡°You can do whatever you wish with my big jewels.¡±
Despite his prim-and-proper looks, Fu Sichen was an aggressive driver in bed! Having been spoken to in such explicit terms, Pei Zhen immediately turned beet red. ¡°Y-you¡ I¡ I¡¡±
¡°Have you forgotten how?¡± Fu Sichenughed lightly and decided that he wasn¡¯t going to tolerate it any further. With a twist of his body, he flipped over, and once again was on top of Pei Zhen. ¡°Darling, allow me to demonstrate.¡±
Before Pei Zhen could recover from his surprise, an aggressive kiss that pried open his mouth attacked his lips. It soon became a passionate battleground for unleashed desires.
Pei Zhen felt as though an electric current was ripping through his body, and he could no longer think. ¡°You¡¡±
¡°Rx. Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were as deep and vast as the universe, inviting a never-ending free-fall into a bottomless pit. His hand wandered downwards. ¡°Darling, I will be gentle.¡±
Pei Zhen felt a tightness in his throat. ¡°You¡ weren¡¯t you going to demonstrate?¡±
¡°Yes, a gentle demonstration.¡±
His deep voice was sensuous, loaded with a maism that worked like a spell on unaware prey. In the heat of passion, Pei Zhen had no recollection of how he had been stripped.

The fact was that he was born two years ahead of Pei Zhen.
Hence even if he had no prior experience, Fu Sichen¡¯s awareness in such matters far surpassed Pei Zhen¡¯s.
With a kiss here and a touch there, he was able to arouse Pei Zhen to the point the man could no longer think straight.
Before Pei Zhen even knew it, he had been stripped. Ever since they became an item, Fu Sichen¡¯s kissing technique had improved by leaps and bounds, and there was no way Pei Zhen could ward him off.
In that state of euphoria, Fu Sichen was in the position to do whatever he wanted to his young boyfriend. Pei Zhen¡¯s efforts to suppress his sweet and unctuous moaning was under great strain. His face had turned a bright red, and only a thread of sanity remained that told him not to cry out.
Things were going well, until¡
Suddenly Pei Zhen felt something inside of himself¡
His rational mind eventually returned. Pei Zhen widened his eyes and gave Fu Sichen, who was on top of him, a startled look.
¡°Rx.¡± He was in pain, and so was Fu Sichen. Thetter leaned over and kissed his young boyfriend to cate him. ¡°It¡¯ll be done soon.¡±
Finally realizing that Fu Sichen was topping him, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t hide his shock and cursed out loud.
That was his first time, and it was over an hourter.
Pei Zhen was despondent for a while before he recovered. Fu Sichen was still on top of him, with a look on contentment on his face.
Pei Zhen was infuriated, and he had almost lost his voice. ¡°Get out.¡±
¡°Are you okay?¡± Compared to the emotional upheaval that his young boyfriend was experiencing, Fu Sichen was quite satisfied and propped himself up slightly with one hand. ¡°How did it feel?¡±
¡°Painful.¡± Pei Zhen had nothing butints about the experience. ¡°Lower back is painful. Legs are painful. It¡¯s painful everywhere.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± There wasn¡¯t the slightest tinge of guilt apparent on Fu Sichen¡¯s face. Leaning over to kiss Pei Zhen on the corner of his lips, heughed. ¡°What about your rear end? Is it painful?¡±
¡°You!¡± Little Brat Pei had turned red in the ears, but still maintained a look of smugness on his face. ¡°None of your business!¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s answer was bold and confident. ¡°Of course it¡¯s my business.¡±
Silence.
Pei Zhen had to admit that his boyfriend was far more thick-skinned and shameless. Muttering to himself and kicking Fu Sichen, he stumbled off the bed, staggering as he nted his feet on the ground.
¡°Be careful.¡± Fu Sichen finally had the mindfulness to reflect on his own conscience. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I wanted it too much. The next time¡¡±
¡°There¡¯s no next time.¡± Pei Zhen snorted. ¡°Your technique is poor as hell.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think so. Weren¡¯t you moaning in pleasure just then?¡±
Freaking hell!
He was defeated in action and in words. He turned red as Fu Sichen pointed out the truth. He gathered his clothes and hurried into the bathroom, shutting the bathroom door with a bang. He added and said, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed toe in!¡±
Fu Sichen did want to go in. Just as his bare foot touched the ground, his mobile went off frantically.
It was Wang Youquan.
Fu Sichen assumed that the man must have been calling to hurry him over to the filming location. He said on picking up the call, ¡°I just woke up, will be there in an hour.¡±
¡°No!¡± The Wang Youquan at the other end of the line set a new record for the shrillness of his voice. ¡°I have no time to think about your gay-themed film right now! Fu Sichen! Can¡¯t you be a bit more careful?!¡±
Fu Sichen raised his eyebrow. He suddenly and unexpectedly recalled the sh of red light that he caught from the night before, and he had a bad premonition.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°What do you think is wrong!?¡± Wang Youquan was driven to the brink of his sanity by Fu Sichen. ¡°The reporters caught you and Pei Zhen kissing¡ªthey have the pictures to show for it. You can tell from the pictures; it¡¯s clearly you two!¡±
Even if the two men put on a disguise, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape the keen eyes of the paparazzi!
¡°What do we do now?¡± Wang Youquan was on the verge of tears. ¡°Or what about this? We say you were going through the script?¡±
¡°Going through the script to the extent of kissing in the car?¡±

The idea was to use the script as an excuse for the kiss between the two, saying that they were only carrying out their duties as professionals¡ª that there was nothing fishy, and they weren¡¯t in love.
That was the best PR answer that Wang Youquan coulde up with at that moment. In any case, both of them were starring in a movie about brotherly love in the context of socialism.
However, Fu Sichen was against this idea and even wanted to counter it openly.
¡°Well then.¡± Wang Youquan was emotionally exhausted. ¡°What do we do now?¡±
¡°Just that.¡± Fu Sichen didn¡¯t really care about the PR, and he sounded so calm it was as if he couldn¡¯t feel even a fraction of the panic that Wang Youquan was feeling. ¡°We need to allow reporters to report the truth.¡±
What the freaking hell?!
Fu Sichen was nowhere near when Pei Zhen stepped out of the shower.
¡°He¡¯s run off after he¡¯s done topping me. How irresponsible. I knew it. This Fu person was lusting after my body all along, the despicable man!¡±
He carelessly muttered a few swear words and towel-dried his hair. Then he nestled into the sofa and made himself asfortable as he could.
Honestly, Fu Sichen was quite skilled.
Even though it was his first time, the fact was, it wasn¡¯t all that painful. Besides, after some deep reflection during the shower, he actually had to admit to himself that being the bottom party wasn¡¯t that bad.
At least he didn¡¯t have to do the work.
Daddy Pei waszy as a pig, but also an optimist. After thinking it through, he finally epted it and even thought himself to be quite brilliant.
Humming a little tune, Pei Zhen reached out for his mobile. Initially, he was going to call his diligent and industrious boyfriend, but the moment the screen lit up, he saw that messaged and missed calls filled the screen!
They were all from manager Xiao Nian. There were more than 20 missed calls, and the ringing had almost drained out the mobile battery.
Apart from the missed calls, there were tons of text messages. Thest message couldn¡¯t even amodate the number of exmation marks he had typed: [Pei Zhen!!! You rascal!!!!!!!!]
Madness.
Pei Zhen unlocked his mobile with an elegant roll of his eyes. He was toozy to scroll back to read the earlier messages. Instead, he typed and sent a single question mark.
Xiao Nian¡¯s reply was instantaneous: [You finally make an appearance! [Smile]]
Xiao Nian sent out a picture: [Exin this? Since when were you so dutiful and serious about going through the script? [Smile] [Smile] [Smile]]
The picture was the one taken by a reporter of the two men kissing.
The streemps gave out a mellow glow at night, and it was misty and magical. The imposing ck jeep was attention-catching. Of course, more attention-catching was the sight of the two co-stars kissing.
They were intimate, that was clear in the picture. One could even feel the tenderness between the two from the slight upward curl of the corner of Fu Sichen¡¯s lips.
¡°A¡¡±
It was fortunate that Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t physically present; otherwise, he might just have curled up and died if he had seen Pei Zhen¡¯s stunned expression on seeing the picture that was almost immediately followed by a wolf-whistle.
It was a good shot, at least that was how Pei Zhen felt. He couldn¡¯t resist saving the picture to file before pondering and responding to Xiao Nian¡¯s question.
[What is my rtionship with Fu Sichen? Let me introduce you to my boyfriend.]
After sending this text message to Xiao Nian, there was radio silence for the longest time. There was no return message, not even a punctuation mark.
Not that Pei Zhen cared. Just then, the door swung open, and Fu Sichen walked in with a bag containing take-out food. He naturally smiled the moment he saw Pei Zhen. ¡°What¡¯s up? You look happy.¡±
¡°Nothing.¡± The aroma drifting out of the bag and filling the room attracted Pei Zhen. He tossed his mobile aside and walked towards his boyfriend, dragging his bedroom slippers. ¡°I came out to my son, and his emotional resilience is really poor.¡±
Son? Xiao Nian?
¡°You told Xiao Nian?¡± Fu Sichen froze.
¡°Of course. How can you keep your boyfriend under wraps?¡±

Boyfriend.
He¡¯d never realized how sweet the word was.
Fu Sichen was stunned for a moment. He held Pei Zhen¡¯s hand tightly and broke into a smile. He responded softly, ¡°Yes, boyfriend.¡±
The boyfriend and his boyfriend arrived at the filming location hand-in-hand.
Amid all the hoo-ha, they werepletely unafraid to add fuel to the fire!
As Pei Zhen got out of Fu Sichen¡¯s car, the paparazzi who were waiting and milling around the location swarmed upon him.
¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen, can you tell the audience what is the rtionship between you and Fu Sichen?¡±
¡°Number Two Man Pei, are you really an item with Best Actor Fu? May we know when you became an item?¡±
¡°Is it because of the hospitalization? Did Best Actor Fu¡¯s warmth melt your cold heart?¡±
Pei Zhen ignored them.
He didn¡¯t answer any of the questions, and also didn¡¯t have the chance to do so, as Fu Sichen got out of the car shortly after.
The moment his tall and dashing boyfriend got out of the car, it caused a stir and a lot of shrieking in the crowd. It was hard to tell if the crowd was excited or surprised.
The long and short camera lenses changed target and focused on Fu Sichen. They were almost in his face. The questions came like a tidal wave and were louder than the shrieking.
Fu Sichen ignored them and quickly shielded Pei Zhen who was next to him. Under the protection of the security, the two of them walked towards the filming location.
¡°Best Actor Fu!¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen!¡±
The crowd was closing in and almost barging into the filming location, and they were hungry for new material!
¡°Whew¡¡±
Once they safely arrived at the filming location, Pei Zhen finally let out a long sigh of relief. ¡°Do you think the reporters will be this crazy when I be Best Actor?¡±
¡°Best Actor?¡± Baby Xiao suddenly appeared from the side and was hurrying towards Pei Zhen. He was about to give his artiste a hug when the hard, cold stare from Fu Sichen made him stop and freeze. ¡°Daddy! You may even be cklisted!¡±
Fu Sichen snorted. ¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Ah, no, no.¡± His Daddy¡¯s boyfriend was a scary character. Xiao Nian was an astute man and tried to be as pleasing as possible. ¡°Best Actor shouldn¡¯t be discriminated for his sexuality. Daddy, even if you¡¯re not able to be Best Actor three years in a row, you can be the first gay Best Actor!¡±
Pei Zhen was stupefied.
Trying hard not to roll his eyes, he snorted softly and pulled Fu Sichen back. He looked at Xiao Nian with an expression ofcency. ¡°Son, I found you a mother. Best Actor Fu is now your Daddy¡¯s partner. You may go now.¡±
Making a crying noise, Xiao Nian retorted, saying, ¡°No, Daddy. I wish for a single-parent family.¡±
Silence.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t know whether he should protest the fact that Pei Zhen had referred to him as ¡®Mother¡¯, or the reference to a ¡®single-parent family¡¯. He squeezed his boyfriend¡¯s hand discretely and asked a rather cruel question.
¡°Hubby, now that the picture of us kissing has gone public, how about Aunty and Uncle?¡±
¡°Small matter.¡± Pei Zhen was casual about it. ¡°The Condor Heroes are oldies. I guarantee you that they are clueless about social media. Don¡¯t worry, Wifey!¡±
For the sake of allowing Pei Zhen to look good, Fu Sichen even called him ¡®Hubby¡¯ in public. Of course, Pei Zhen was ted.
How heavenly! He had a boyfriend who was an all-rounder. Fu Sichen did all the work in bed and in public, but Pei Zhen got all the credit.
Pei Zhen was happy as ark; Fu Sichen too could give and take. They werepletely unaware of how much impact Fu Sichen¡¯s addressing of Pei Zhen as ¡®Hubby¡¯ had on the people!
Holy crap!
Best Actor Fu was the bottom party!
Would it be possible that the man was actually hot and passionate inside while presenting an icy facade to the outside world, and even, a real vixen and tease?
Wow¡
That really put the Number Two Man Pei in a different light.

Although the two men didn¡¯t give any explicit answers, it was epted that in the entertainment circle that news wouldn¡¯t spring from nothing. Given that the picture of them kissing was made public, the filming crew assumed that it was all real.
The Director was an open-minded person. Since he was directing a gay-themed film, naturally he was epting of the two male leads holding hands and the asional love-struck looks that they threw at each other¡ªit was sickeningly sweet.
¡°Cough, cough.¡± The Director walked over to them once the great manager Xiao Nian was done with meeting his new ¡®Mother¡¯. ¡°Best Actor Fu, Pei Zhen, are we going to start filming today?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Pei Zhen turned to the Director while withdrawing his paw from Fu Sichen. ¡°I¡¯m a professional man with strong work ethics. I¡¯m not going to waste everyone¡¯s time with my private affairs.¡±
Everyone looked on in wonder.
Fu Sichen stuck a hand into his pocket, looking every bit stunning. ¡°Yes, me too.¡±
The Director had only observed Pei Zhen¡¯s arrogance in the past, but it was the first time they met in person, and it wasn¡¯t what he expected. The Director was stunned for a moment and eventually gave a friendly smile.
Such sincerity and candidness were rare in the entertainment circle.
Even harder toe by was the fact that Pei Zhen was not all talk. If everyone took a moment to think about it, they¡¯d find that Pei Zhen never had the reputation of being one to act all high-and-mighty.
People who were working on the crew of a gay-themed movie were naturally more epting of people of that nature.
Not to mention, such affairs weren¡¯t unusual in the entertainment circle, although they were usually kept hush-hush. But no matter, none of the other couples were as good-looking as Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen.
Among the filming crowd, there were their couple fans who turned up to have a look.
Even before that photo of the two of them kissing existed, those fans were already swooning over them and squealing like groundhogs in private. Seeing them in person was, of course, a not-to-be-missed photo opportunity.
¡°Arghhhhh¡ I¡ I can¡¯t take this! They are so so dashing!¡±
When pictures taken at the filming location got circted to the couple fans, that ripple quickly turned into a tidal wave that created a whole herd of squealing groundhogs. They pored over the pictures.
¡°I envy the people who are there!¡±
¡°Which filming location is this? Are they still looking for workers? I¡¯ll run errands for free!¡±
¡°Ahhhhh¡ my favorite man and his boyfriend! My god! Why am I not even upset that they are together?!¡±
There were supportive people, but there were also those who made nastyments. Even among the couple fans, some people objected.
Those who were kinder just left the group; those who weren¡¯t so kind madements on how disgusting it was, and some mored about hating their idols forever. The discussion group degenerated into a mess.
However, that was just a small part of it all; there was a more serious situation brewing on the inte.
Xiao Nian had taken time out to make a trip to the filming location to verify that his Daddy Pei and Fu Sichen were indeed serious. Following that, he hurried back to the agency.
It wasn¡¯t just about PR; it involved many sponsorship deals and assignments. The senior management had to call for an emergency meeting to deal with the situation of their top staring out of the closet.
¡°Where¡¯s Pei Zhen?!¡± The boss was furious. ¡°I don¡¯t care if he and Fu Sichen are for real, but he has to deny it! I want him to issue a statement right away!¡±
Even in modern society, people didn¡¯t ept homosexuality on a wide scale. People avoided it like the gue and still thought of it as a seditious thing.
Although Xiao Nian was quite a sloppy man, he was, nevertheless, a champion manager. When it came to proper work, he was firm and decisive. ¡°Pei Zhen is not going to agree to deny the rtionship. Even if he issued a statement, he¡¯d surely admit to the affair.¡±
¡°Then he¡¯s fired!¡±
It wasn¡¯t only the breach of contract damages¡ªthere was also the contract with the agency¡ªthere was no way Pei Zhen could afford the penalties.

Pei Zhen had just finished filming when Xiao Nian¡¯s call came in.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡±
In contrast to his usual lowly and loud demeanor, the manager spoke softly, sounding almost mournful.
Pei Zhen was slightly rmed and had a bad feeling in his stomach. He spotted Fu Sichen and walked towards him quickly. ¡°What¡¯s up? The agency had decided to put me in cold storage?¡±
Xiao Nian sounded miserable. ¡°¡ it¡¯s worse than cold storage. The agency wants to terminate your contract.¡±
The various sponsorship contract penalties were one thing, but the agency contract would be far worse.
¡°You could be liable to pay up to¡ eighty million,¡± Xiao Nian fumbled as he spoke, ¡°Daddy, why not¡ why not¡ let¡¯s not set up a family.¡±
Which meant noting out of the closet.
At the meeting, Xiao Nian seemed calm, but, in fact, his hands were mmy, and he was feeling panicky.
¡°Tsk.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s expression darkened, and he was annoyed. ¡°Nian Nian, that Fu Sichen is your Mother, this is an established fact.¡±
He continued, ¡°I¡¯m such a big-shot artiste, how could it be that the penalty doesn¡¯t even hit the 100 million-dor mark?¡±
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t believe that at that point of time, Pei Zhen could say such things.
He smiled and said coolly, ¡°80 million is just the penalty for the agency alone; there¡¯s still the other filming agreement contracts that amount to ten times of 2.5 million.¡±
¡°Ten times¡ 2.5?¡± Pei Zhen said. Why did this figure seem so deliberate?
¡°That¡¯s right, millionaire, are you prepared to pimp yourself to pay up?¡±
Pei Zhen snorted disdainfully, retorting, ¡°Watch that tone. Why are you about to burn bridges? I¡¯m no longer your Daddy Pei?¡±
¡°Daddy!¡± Xiao Nian was destined never to enjoy more than a few seconds of upper wind. His sarcastic tone turned into a whimper again. ¡°A hundred million dors. What do we do?! Even if I joined you and we pimped ourselves, we¡¯d never be able to pay up. Pei Pei!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not dead yet, stop sounding like a mourner.¡± Pei Zhen stroked his fingertips, and his expression was unusually cool. ¡°I¡¯ve saved up quite a bit over the years. A hundred million dors is not a big issue.¡±
Xiao Nian chirped over the phone. ¡°Really¡ really? We don¡¯t have to pimp ourselves?¡±
¡°Even if you wanted to, you¡¯ve got to have the looks for it.¡± Pei Zhen coughed. ¡°You? You¡¯re only good for being a Dong Hai Fairy Girl. Oh well, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯lle back right away.¡±
¡°Alright, Daddy. Roger, Daddy.¡±
Pei Zhen hung up the phone after he reassured Xiao Nian to calm the man, then let out a long sigh.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± A voice came from behind, and as the owner of the voice drew close it was apanied by a familiar smell. Pei Zhen turned around, and as expected, found himself looking into Fu Sichen¡¯s deep eyes.
His heart skipped a beat every time he looked at the stunning man.
¡°Was that Xiao Nian?¡± Fu Sichen was an intelligent person, and he knew what to expect froming out of the closet. ¡°Yourpany is going to terminate your contract?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Pei Zhen didn¡¯t try to hide it.
He paused for a while and quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a hundred million dors. Daddy has money. What about you?¡±
¡°Three hundred million.¡±
The casual words agitated Pei Zhen, and he was obviously annoyed. ¡°Crap! How can this be? How can I be worth less than you!?¡±
Fu Sichen wanted to roll his eyes.
He found himself betweenughter and tears, and on top of that, having to show agreement with Pei Zhen. He tried to control his expression and decided concern was probably the best. ¡°What do we do now? I thought that after the incident of posting the ¡®Like¡¯s¡¯ I¡¯d crossed half the entertainment industry, I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d have that many assignments.¡±
Freaking hell, thought Pei Zhen. No assignments and still worth more than him!
¡°Well, it¡¯s only three hundred million,¡± Pei Zhen said with a wave of his hand, full of vim as usual, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if Daddy has to sacrifice everything, I¡¯ll get you the funds to pay the penalties.¡±
¡°Three hundred million dors for dowry?¡± Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow.

Dowry¡
Pei Zhen¡¯s expression froze when he heard the word, but retorted quickly after a pause, ¡°Huh, that¡¯s the betrothal gift!¡±
Little Brat Pei was as arrogant as always.
Brows slightly raised, Pei Zhen¡¯s long and narrow peach blossom eyes looked amorous. Noticing that, Fu Sichen¡¯s mood wavered for a bit and felt a sudden urge to impose himself on the man.
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Fantasies aside, Fu Sichen was just about to exin and give Pei Zhen a surprise, when Pei Zhen¡¯s mobile phone went off again.
That time around it was a man that Fu Sichen wouldn¡¯t dare stop.
It was Pei Zhen¡¯s father, Xiao Long Nu.
Pei Zhen looked away for a bit, feeling a little nervous. But the struggle was momentary, he gritted his teeth and picked up the phone.
¡°Hello, Dad.¡±
Pei Zhen tried to be calm, but his throat was dry, and he unconsciously tightened his fist. He was like a little boy shamed, stubborn yet nervously waiting to for punishment.
Fu Sichen took a step towards him and held his hand. Pei Zhen froze, his eyes met Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze as he looked up. Then, he calmed down.
Silence. There wasn¡¯t a sounding from the other end of the line. Secretly taking in a deep breath, Pei Zhen asked, ¡°Dad? What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°You and Fu Sichen, you two¡¡± His voice was shaking, Pei Zhen could tell over the phone. It was hard to guess at what he was feeling. ¡°You two are actually¡ actually¡¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s face was stiff. ¡°You saw the report?¡±
¡°Of course! Did you think your mum and I are ancient idiots?!¡±
¡°Errr¡¡± Ooops¡ that was an unwise move too early. Pei Zhen¡¯s face turned a bright red. ¡°I¡ I and Fu Sichen¡ we are serious about each other¡¡±
¡°Of course you¡¯re serious! If you weren¡¯t and dared to be gallivanting with some wild man, I¡¯d break your legs!¡± saying that, Xiao Long Nu continued on a different note, ¡°Couldn¡¯t you guys have been more mindful of your status? Now your agency is asking you to pay penalties? How much?!¡±
Purely scared out of his brains, Pei Zhen replied quickly, ¡°A hundred million or so for me; three for Fu Sichen.¡±
Silence again. Then Xiao Long Nu took a deep breath, his voice almost breaking as he eximed, ¡°Four hundred million?! Pei Pei, why don¡¯t you and Fu Sichen reconsidering out of the closet?¡±
Huh? Huh! Pei Zhen was stunned.
Thinking that he had misunderstood, Pei Zhen cautiously asked, ¡°Dad, you¡ you¡¯re not objecting Fu Sichen and I being together?¡±
¡°What¡¯s so strange about two men being together?¡± Having understood what Pei Zhen was worried about, Xiao Long Nu was quite angry. ¡°Did you think your mother and I were so ignorant? I¡¯ve excavated more graves than the number of films you¡¯ve made.¡±
He had previously excavated a pair of entwined lovers, and it moved all the scientific researchers in their thick sses as they looked upon the finding. On examination, the two sets of bones were male.
¡°I have to say, son.¡± Xiao Long Nu gave an audible sigh. ¡°It¡¯s such a significant matter, and you didn¡¯t even breathe a word to your parents.¡±
His parents¡¯ understanding and eptance were more precious than anything else. It warmed Pei Zhen¡¯s heart, and tears welled up in his eyes. ¡°Dad¡¡±
¡°Okay, it¡¯s fine; things will be fine.¡± Even through the phone, Pei Zhen could feel his father¡¯s candid smile¡ªhe was like a great hero to Pei Zhen. ¡°It¡¯s just four hundred million dors. Your father has the money!¡±
Pei Zhen was both guilty and touched. ¡°No need, Dad, I have savings. And if that isn¡¯t enough, I can sell the apartment in Ling Jiang.¡±
¡°No, this is betrothal money!¡± Xiao Long Nu said with much pride, ¡°Son, be sure that in future you¡¯re the top party!¡±
Pei Zhen froze.
Damn, he had been topped already!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Although Pei Zhen was grateful that his parents epted hising out, he couldn¡¯t help feeling like a let-down given the expectations they had ced on him.
When his father cooked bull¡¯s penis, liver and all that, Pei Zhen had already felt that something was not quite right. He realized that it really was for THAT reason.
¡°How can our Pei family member be the bottom party?¡± Xiao Long Nu¡¯s voice reverberated through the phone, even Fu Sichen could hear it. ¡°Not possible!¡±
¡°D-Dad¡¡± With the man who topped him next to him, every word that his father was saying was like a p on his face, and it stung. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it now.¡±
¡°If I don¡¯t talk about it now, your heart will soften, and what if that guy from the Fu family took advantage of you?¡±
Pei Zhen was sullen.
He had already been taken advantage of!
Stop talking about it already; your son has lost his virginity!
Besides, the bottom party didn¡¯t have to expend any effort, actually¡ that¡¯s quite fortunate.
Of course, Pei Zhen didn¡¯t dare to say that out loud to his father, for fear that it would infuriate the old man.
After the big hoo-ha, he finally convinced him.
In any case, his parents had epted Fu Sichen and the fact that they were an item. Pei Zhen had no more worries and bantered with his father for a while to distract him from the topic.
After he hung up the phone, the characteristic arrogance of Little Brat Pei returned. He stretched out an arm across Fu Sichen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Darling, you don¡¯t have to worry. From now on you are part of the Pei family! I will pamper, love, and protect you all your life!¡±
The 1.8-meter tall man tip-toeing to ce his hand across the shoulder of the 1.9-meter tall man wasn¡¯t the mostfortable action for Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen smiled slightly and looked at Pei Zhen with a tinge of iciness in his eyes. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s my honor.¡±
Looking at Pei Zhen¡¯s dad, it wasn¡¯t hard to see where Pei Zhen got his arrogance and self-confidence.
Initially, he was going to tell Pei Zhen something else about himself. However, seeing that Pei Zhen was so adept at taking things into his own hands, Fu Sichen kept quiet and decided not to say more.
¡°And now?¡± Fu Sichen asked, ¡°Are you going back to the office?¡±
¡°Yes, Xiao Nian must be at the end of the rope now.¡± After all, he was the one who was breaking the contract with the agency. Xiao Nian was a manager and wouldn¡¯t be able to represent the artiste fully.
He did a mental estimation of his savings and assets, and asked before he left, ¡°What about you, are you going back to the office? When you talk to them, you can let them have my name. There¡¯s no need to be afraid. My heart is with you.¡±
Fu Sichen tried not to roll his eyes.
He smiled at Pei Zhen and said, rather calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll rely on you, Hubby.¡±
Pei Zhen was ted by Fu Sichen calling him ¡®Hubby¡¯ and had no idea that Fu Sichen was doing it through gritted teeth. It was almost as though he¡¯d forgotten that he was the bottom party.
They each went their own ways, back to their respective agencies to settle the situation.
Knowing that he had his family¡¯s support, Pei Zhen had no other worries. Besides, he had his darling to protect and look after, and it filled him with a great sense of purpose, given that was what a man should be¡ªswift and decisive!
Having checked his bank ount to see how much savings he had, Pei Zhen was confident and resolute upon arriving at the agency. He ignored the looks he was getting from the people around.
¡°Pei Pei¡¡±
The front-desk receptionist called out when she saw him, and at once was filled withplex emotions. Before she could even say much, her eyes well up in tears.
She was considered a reasonable fan, having epted Pei Zhen¡¯sing out. Only, the situation was causing considerablemotion throughout the agency. She had a bad feeling that she¡¯d never see Pei Zhen again.
At least, not in the agency.
¡°Where¡¯s Xiao Nian?¡± Pei Zhen shed a friendly smile at her. He¡¯d always been generous and kind towards his fans.
¡°I¡¯ll tell him you¡¯re here.¡± As she said that, she couldn¡¯t help but add, ¡°Pei Pei, can you not leave the circle?¡±

Chapter 207: Did the Terms of Breaching of Contract Include Coming out of the Closet?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Whether he was going to leave the entertainment circle, Pei Zhen had no idea.
After all, an artiste that came out of the closet would have ruined his own career path.
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart warmed because of the fans who cared and were concerned, but at the same time, he felt apologetic towards them.
Not giving the receptionist a direct answer, Pei Zhenughed, his eyes twinkling like stars. ¡°So stubborn huh? Sorry.¡±
It was just like that.
It was hard to resist the charming male idol. It was obvious that he was under intense pressure at the moment.
The receptionist shed a few tears. ¡°Pei Pei¡ I-I wasn¡¯t ming you. I wish you all the happiness¡ªwhether you¡¯ve found yourself a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you¡¯re still my favorite Daddy Pei!¡±
The receptionist had no idea where she got the courage but managed to deliver a loud and affirming word of support, causing Xiao Nian to almost trip as he rushed down from afar to receive Pei Zhen. More unbelievable was that his Daddy Pei actually dered in the hearing of everyone.
¡°For sure, I will take care of Fu Sichen, I won¡¯t let him suffer.¡±
Xiao Nian was bbergasted.
The receptionist was blown-away.
And those looking on were speechless.
Fu Sichen looked so handsome and imposing, so it was hard to imagine that he was the weaker party.
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Xiao Nian coughed and hurried over. ¡°Pei Pei, the big boss is in the office.¡±
With a raise of his brow, Pei Zhen¡¯s smile disappeared. He had azy expression, but that didn¡¯t hide his cold indifference. ¡°Okay.¡±
He followed Xiao Nian to the top floor. Still taking good care of Pei Zhen, Xiao Nian pulled open the door for the young man. ¡°Pei Pei.¡±
As the door of the meeting room swung open, Pei Zhen came eye to eye with the big boss¡ªa balding middle-aged man whoughed icily as he watched them enter. ¡°Already in deep trouble yet still so grand? Xiao Nian, are you dictated by an urge to serve and can¡¯t get away from being a dog?¡±
Hey, that was a personal attack?
Immediately Pei Zhen¡¯s face hardened, and he looked like he was about tosh out. Xiao Nian quickly pulled him back with an expression indicating that he was alright.
The most important thing to Xiao Nian was to help Pei Zhen negotiate the best deal. Hence even though the big boss was sarcastic, Xiao Nian only smiled and tried not to take things to heart.
Pei Zhen suppressed his anger and sat down, looking the big boss in the eyes. His daggers were drawn, and he was ready to fight.
¡°Mr. Pei.¡± The secretary hurried to serve up the termination papers to Pei Zhen on a signal from the big boss. ¡°This is the agreement, so please take a look.¡±
Saying that, she also added, ¡°If anything needs changing, we can adjust.¡±
¡°There will be no changes!¡± That immediately angered the big boss. ¡°It was he who didn¡¯tply to the terms and caused us financial loss. Are you stupid? Have you be Pei Zhen¡¯s dog too?¡±
The secretary turned pale. She opened and shut her mouth without saying a word, then lowered her head and sat down.
Pei Zhen¡¯s expression was icy, and he took no heed at Xiao Nian¡¯s signal to calm down. ¡°General Manager Liu, you keep using the word ¡®dog¡¯¡ªyour bark is quite loud.¡±
¡°You!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll look at the agreement now.¡± Pei Zhen smiled and flipped open the document. ¡°I have to pay up the 80 million today, and the interest is 0.01% for one second of dy¡ one second? General Manager Liu, have you be a desperate pauper recently?¡±
Yes,ing out of the closet was his own fault, but he had nevere across an agency that treated their artistes like that.
Initially Pei Zhen had even intended to make a peaceful apology, but because the big boss had been so unreasonably hostile, Pei Zhen immediately retorted, ¡°General Manager Liu, I¡¯d like to ask, within the context of this agreement, did the terms of breaching of contract includeing out of the closet?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The answer is no.¡±
Chapter 208 - I’m Sorry! I’m the Dog!
Chapter 208: I¡¯m Sorry! I¡¯m the Dog!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was with good reason that Pei Zhen was called ¡®Daddy Pei¡¯.
Although Pei Zhen was azy person normally, when angered he had a razor-sharp tongue that could reduce anyone to tears.
The big boss was stunned when Pei Zhen pointed out that the agreement didn¡¯t have a use rting toing out of the closet. The next moment, Pei Zhen demonstrated his superior skills in resenting someone.
¡°The agreement doesn¡¯t contain any terms and conditions rting toing out, hence mying out doesn¡¯t constitute a breach of terms. Thepany has made an intention to terminate my agreement without good cause. Who should be bearing the penalty then? Aren¡¯t you aware of this?¡±
The middle-aged man appeared a little nervous. ¡°No. It¡¯s you¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re right. I dide out of the closet. But in doing so, I brought limelight and attention to the agency. General Manager Liu, don¡¯t think for a moment I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re taking the opportunity to make money. You¡¯ve taken advantage of me in this instance, and want to seekpensation from me. Your face is as big as a sd bowl.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not even talk about whether the penalty sum is reasonable. Do you dare say that you have nothing to do with the wave of smear campaigns on the inte? I only came out of the closet; I didn¡¯t do anything to harm anyone. But the way you¡¯ve defamed me, oh, are you looking to be invited to the police station for tea?¡±
¡°You!¡± He was holding the status of a big boss, yet a string of swear words escaped his mouth as he mmed his palm on the table. ¡°You son of a bitch!¡±
Thinking that Pei Zhen was on his way down anyway, he might as well go gloriously. The big boss did, in fact, hire a bunch of inte ghostwriters to start a smear campaign against Pei Zhen. Only, the moment it was exposed, it more than infuriated him.
Anger aside, the infuriated man looked quite ugly.
He could say such nasty words¡
¡°Huh.¡±
Pei Zhenughed icily and closed the document with a loud snap. Initially, he had sat back in the chairzily, but with the ugly showdown he got up from the chair.
Drawing himself to his full and imposing height, Pei Zhen was not to be fooled around with. He walked towards the big boss, emitting an aura of danger that he no longer cared to suppress.
¡°You¡ you¡ you¡¡± General Manager Liu was nervous and drenched in cold sweat. Particrly when Pei Zhen ced his hand on the table right in front of him, and he almost shouted for fear that Pei Zhen might hurt him. ¡°What are you doing? Hit me? Let me tell you, if you hit me¡¡±
¡°Hit you?¡± Without waiting for the big boss to finish, Pei Zhen interrupted sarcastically, saying, ¡°My hand is used to touch Fu Sichen. You? You¡¯re far from good enough.¡±
He¡¯d lived more than half a century, and no one had ever spoken so resentfully to him. He was at a loss for words. General Manager Liu didn¡¯t understand how it happened, and the only words he could utter in the end were ¡®You, you, you¡¯.
¡°There¡¯s no need to be too angry.¡± Pei Zhen stood up straight again and looked down at him. ¡°I¡¯m the one who came out of the closet, and I¡¯m the one who caused the damages. I will pay the penalty. The condition is that you have to apologize to Xiao Nian and Miss Chen.¡±
Miss Chen, the secretary, was moved to tears. ¡°Pei Pei¡¡±
¡°Oh, one more thing.¡± Pei Zhen took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. ¡°And you have to apologize to my Guo¡¯er.¡±
Guo¡¯er was Pei Zhen¡¯s mother, of course.
He had carried him for ten months in the womb and expended great efforts in bringing him up. He could insult Pei Zhen himself, but Pei Zhen would never let anyone who insulted his mother off the hook.
¡°You!¡± General Manager Liu turned red in pure fury. ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck. I most definitely will not apologize!¡±
¡°Oh.¡± The line was connected, and Pei Zhen said icily,¡± Mum, could you contact Uncle Yang¡ yes, your ssmate who is a prosecutor. Someone has insulted you. I wonder what happens to people who insult our national research schr.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m the dog!¡±

It was a known fact that Pei Zhen came from a strong family background, but the big boss didn¡¯t realize that he had government officials in the family. The moment he heard ¡®prosecutor¡¯s office¡¯ and ¡®research schr¡¯, he quickly apologized for fear of consequences of crossing those people.
¡°I apologize!¡± General Manager Liu was on the verge of clutching his face in tears. ¡°I didn¡¯t mind my words, and I was uncouth. I¡¯m really sorry!¡±
¡°What about Xiao Nian and Miss Chen?¡± Pei Zhen asked with an icy expression.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± General Manager Liu had turned pale. ¡°It was just a slip of the tongue.¡±
Huh.
A slip of the tongue.
If it weren¡¯t for the worry that things would be even more difficult for Xiao Nian and Miss Chen in the future, Pei Zhen would have forced a sincere apology out of the man.
He was too egoistic and thought that everyone was such a pushover.
However, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t be bothered to educate the big boss since he was prepared to terminate his contract with the agency. He signed on the agreement and understood that he was to pay up the penalty then and there.
Pei Zhen made a call to the bank staff. ¡°You can send the money over now.¡±
The bank staff was most supportive. ¡°Sure!¡±
Without a need for a check or transaction, the 80 million dors was loaded onto a truck and sent over to Pei Zhen.
The money was heavily guarded and apanied by armed police all the way. It was quite frightening to see the police armed with rifles standing guard outside the agency entrance.
It was nothing short of cold, hard cash.
It was quite a sight to see the safe boxes being hauled out of the truck one by one. Even more surprising was that when the safe boxes opened, one-dor notes filled them!
The almost-bald General Manager Liu was livid. ¡°¡ Pei Zhen, you¡ you¡ you¡¡±
Crap!
It was definitely intentional!
Pei Zhen stuck one hand into his pocket, smiling such that his peach blossom eyes were like two half-moons. ¡°Does the agreement also state that I may not pay in one-dor bills?¡±
General Manager Liu was bbergasted. Indeed, the agreement made no mention of such.
¡°Please verify the amount quickly.¡± The bank staff gave a curt smile. ¡°After all, use of the safe boxes incurs a cost. It¡¯s a thousand dors a day each.¡±
¡°You! You!¡± General Manager was angry beyond words. ¡°That¡¯s daylight robbery!¡±
¡°You¡¯re probably unaware.¡± The bank staff was still smiling politely. ¡°These safe boxes are imported; they are made using thetest technology. If General Manager Liu feels that it¡¯s not worth it, then you may also purchase them. They are not that expensive. Just two to three thousand dors each.
General Manager Liu¡¯s face had turned a deep red.
He almost fainted from anger.
He suddenly recalled, Pei Zhen was previously the outstanding student representative of the Metropolitan University Law School!
Although a little regretful, it was still a relief for Pei Zhen to have settled the matter cleanly.
He was a disorganized person with a casual approach towards things.
Normally he¡¯d just let things slide no matter how thepany squeezed him. They were a bottom-line driven business, after all.
However, when the big boss tried so hard to squeeze him before letting him go, he feltpelled to retaliate.
There was no other reason for Pei Zhen to stay after having taught the man a lesson and settled the contract matter.
But as he took a step to leave, Xiao Nian followed close behind.
Pei Zhen turned to look at him.
¡°Son, Daddy is no longer contracted to the agency,¡± Pei Zhen said. In other words, they no longer had an artiste-manager rtionship.
¡°Yes, I know,¡± Xiao Nian replied.
¡°So¡, are you looking to give a treat and buy your Daddy dinner, over which we can reminisce the glorious days of the past?¡±
Xiao Nian sniggered. ¡°Daddy, listen to what you¡¯re saying. How should I be the one buying a treat? Of course, you¡¯re buying.¡±
¡°Well¡ I¡¯m the one who¡¯s jobless now.¡± Pei Zhen reminded the man.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m jobless too. I¡¯ve resigned,¡± said Xiao Nian.
Pei Zhen paused in surprise, feeling a little choked. ¡°Nian Nian, you¡¡±
Xiao Nian took a step forward and delivered a touching line, saying, ¡°From now on, we¡¯re man and man, hand-in-hand.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m a man with another man.¡±
Damn it, thought Xiao Nian. A big deal now that he¡¯s no longer single!
Chapter 210 - I’m Going over to Be His Savior
Chapter 210: I¡¯m Going over to Be His Savior
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Indeed, it was a big deal to be attached.
At least, a text message that Pei Zhen received as he got into the car made Xiao Nian realize the angst of being single.
Pei Zhen¡¯s bank ount had received a credit of a billion dors. On top of that, the bank sent him a notification that his boyfriend credited the amount, and that it was meant to be pocket money for him.
Great. He¡¯d only just lost his job, and in the blink of an eye had be a billionaire. Seeing that, Xiao Nian was livid and muttered a mouthful of swear words.
¡°Pei Pei!¡± Xiao Nian momentarily abandoned his ¡®wife¡¯ on the online game and was on the verge of kneeling down to beg Pei Zhen. ¡°Does Fu Sichen want another little lover, the sort who can act cute?! The sort who will be at his beck and call, sweep the floor, cook and everything else. I am willing to pimp myself!¡±
¡°Get lost!¡± Pei Zhen said with a smile on his face.
Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t as excited as the manager. On the contrary, after the surprise wore off, he was even a little upset.
He picked up his mobile and dialed Fu Sichen, who answered immediately. ¡°Pei Pei.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard Fu Sichen¡¯s deep and irresistibly sultry voice.
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Pei Zhen coughed guiltily and quickly got to the point. ¡°What¡¯s this billion dors about? You don¡¯t have to worry, I have enough money, even after I help you pay off your penalty.¡±
Fu Sichen paused.
His young boyfriend had a strange sense of responsibility. It seemed that all he ever thought about was how to protect others. Would any other normal person who had just received a billion dors turn around to brag that he was rich?
¡°Have you discussed the termination of the contract with your agency?¡± Fu Sichen was a little worn out, and Pei Zhen interrupted before he could even exin. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, darling, Daddy will be right there to save you.¡±
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Fu Sichen was left frustrated holding on to a disconnected line!
¡°Daddy!¡±
Fairy Girl Baby Xiao was stunned once again. That time around, he threw his arms around Pei Zhen¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Oh, I was terribly mistaken! So it¡¯s you who is the rich one! Daddy! Please love me; love me with your money!¡±
¡°Son, why are you so shallow?¡± Pei Zhen was basking in the satisfying feeling of being able to protect his boyfriend and with one hand, brushed Xiao Nian aside. ¡°Our father and son rtionship runs much deeper than can be measured with money.¡±
Xiao Nian gave a painful sob which Pei Zhen pretended not to notice. He looked at the driver in the front seat and told the driver to increase his speed.
It was after-work rush hour, and there were cars in every direction they could see. However, the driver was frustrated too. He couldn¡¯t even step on the elerator. Looking at a bicycle overtaking them, the driver said, ¡°Mr. Pei, why don¡¯t you walk?¡±
At that point, Pei Zhen really got out of the car.
In the midst of themotion, he was prepared to risk his life. However, his mask and dark sses made a crude disguise.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Now they were analyzing how to unlock the yellow rental bicycle, and Xiao Nian was stiff with fear. ¡°Let¡¯s¡ let¡¯s¡ let¡¯s get back into the car. What if people recognize us?¡±
¡°You can go if you want.¡± He was thinking of his boyfriend, and it was a rare asion that Pei Zhen was so anxious. Punching in a code on his mobile phone, he finally unlocked the rental bicycle, and swung one long leg over it, looking very sharp. ¡°Fu Sichen may be feeling helpless and at a loss, I¡¯m going over to be his savior.¡±
¡°On a bicycle?¡± asked Xiao Nian.
¡°This is being Earth-friendly, don¡¯t you know¡¡± He was about to utter another word when there was a shriek. ¡°Ahhhhhhh! Pei Zhen!¡±
¡°My god! It¡¯s really him!¡±

Chapter 211: Why Are You in Such a Pathetic Plight?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As soon as one pedestrian started shrieking, it quickly got the attention of many others. Furthermore, there was paparazzi caught among the traffic stand-still.
Given that one of the main subjects of the sensational news was there, how would the paparazzi give up such an opportunity? The reporters abandoned their cars and rushed over with their cameras in tow.
¡°Pei Zhen, have you really terminated your contract with thepany?¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, why are you not driving?¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, now that you¡¯re in such a situation, do you regreting out of the closet?¡±
The reporters fired a whole lot of questions. However, Pei Zhen, who was stunned by the ambush, didn¡¯t pay attention to what they were saying. He turned around to look at Xiao Nian, who was frozen in ce now, and shouted, ¡°Hurry, let¡¯s go!¡± Then stepping on the pedal, he cycled away.
That was the fastest that Pei Zhen had ever cycled.
The wind in his face and his windbreaker billowing behind him, he looked every bit dashing.
But the reporters weren¡¯t thinking that way.
Already penning out a script of ¡®Ex-popr celebrity scrambled aftering out¡¯ in their imagination, they clicked away furiously at Pei Zhen¡¯s disappearing silhouette.
After taking the pictures, the dutiful paparazzi continued their ungging efforts by keying in their passwords into their phones and unlocking their own bicycles. Then, they took off in Pei Zhen¡¯s direction, pursuing him relentlessly.
The yellow bicycles zoomed pass in a trail of a blurred silhouette. The passersby couldn¡¯t understand the hustle and bustle, thinking it was just the wind that had caused themotion.
Xiao Nian was so exhausted he felt as though he was going to die.
Panting away like a cow, he paddled after Pei Zhen through the turns and corners of the streets. He looked back at the quietne behind him and finally gave up.
¡°Stop¡ stop now.¡± He put one leg down on the ground as his bicycle came to a halt. Then with a thud, he sat himself down, not caring in the least about his own image. ¡°I¡ I can¡¯t go on.¡±
Pei Zhen was tired too, but he had considerably good stamina. At least, he didn¡¯t look half as bad as Xiao Nian. ¡°Don¡¯t¡ don¡¯t say you can¡¯t if you¡¯re a man.¡±
¡°Then why don¡¯t you give me a ride.¡±
¡°Get lost.¡± Pei Zhen took a few deep breaths. He thought of his boyfriend and gritted his teeth. He had to get on with it. Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone to check the map, the back door of the bookshop swung open.
Xiao Nian was leaning against the door.
As the door swung open he lost his bnce and toppled over with a piercing scream. While his head didn¡¯t hit the ground, it did hit something soft.
Like¡ someone¡¯s leg.
Stunned, he looked up.
Leg¡ a long leg, then a towel and in between the legs¡ the little birdie.
¡°What the f***!!!¡±
Xiao Nian immediately turned over and scrambled as he got up. Turning red, he stared at the man who had decided to appear out of nowhere. ¡°You son of a bitch!¡±
¡°It¡¯s the twenty-first century now; haven¡¯t you learned how to be more civilized?¡± The man had attractive features and was quite dashing. ¡°I¡¯m the one being disadvantaged here. Don¡¯t worry, I have a partner and won¡¯t hold you responsible.¡±
Xiao Nian was still stunned by the incident but grew more furious as the man spoke. He hadn¡¯t thought about how he wanted to position his argument when the man turned to look at Pei Zhen.
¡°You¡ look a little familiar.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Pei Zhen looked indifferent.
Then he walked over to help Xiao Nian up. Obviously, they should get up and go right away.
No longer bothering with the bicycle, Pei Zhen decided to call a cab. He took out his mobile phone. All of a sudden, the man shouted, ¡°Oh! Now I remember!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the guy who came out of the closet or something.¡±
¡°Tsk tsk, why are you in such a pathetic plight? Is the other guy such a piece of trash?¡±
Pei Zhen gave him an icy look. However, he didn¡¯t understand why the man would call Fu Sichen a piece of trash.
¡°Oh? You haven¡¯t read the news?¡±

Chapter 212: Pei Pei, Slow Down, Slow Down a Little¡
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Pei Zhen was busy dodging the reporters who were chasing him down and hadn¡¯t had the time to read the news. Now that the man had made that remark, Pei Zhen had to find out for himself.
Fu Sichen had ended the news conference ording to his own estimation of when Pei Zhen might turn up.
After the conference, he had waited in his office for some time for Pei Zhen. He started to worry when Pei Zhen didn¡¯t turn up and tried to call him.
¡°Sichen, Sichen!¡± He had barely dialed Pei Zhen¡¯s number when Wang Youquan hurried towards him. ¡°Have you seen the headline on Weibo?¡±
Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow, looking quite skeptical. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
He had just called for a news conference, of course there¡¯d be a headline. Prior to that, he had kept his status as the Deputy General Manager of the agency a well-guarded secret.
Fu Sichen¡¯s situation was much better than Pei Zhen¡¯s; there wasn¡¯t much antagonism with the bosses. They resolved the situation and Fu Sichen remained Deputy General Manager of the agency.
¡°It¡¯s Pei Zhen.¡± Wang Youquan looked troubled. ¡°All theizens are remarking how pathetic he is now.¡±
¡°What?¡± Fu Sichen was shocked.
The paparazzi were very quick to report.
After all, everyone wanted first-hand information and to get the most reads. In addition, the mary reward was great.
The image of Pei Zhen riding the rental bicycle had made its rounds on the inte, gaining him considerable sympathy. That, in tandem with Fu Sichen¡¯s news conference, would make it appear that the pair had eachnded themselves extremely different, and opposite, oues. Theizens¡¯ hearts broke for Pei Zhen.
¡°Fu Sichen is such a shrewd person. How could he do this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Fu Sichen¡¯s agency that¡¯s truly shrewd. Not only did they not terminate his contract, but they also tempted their star with a Deputy General Manager position.¡±
¡°Poor Pei Zhen. I heard that his penalties amounted to hundreds of millions. Now he¡¯s lost the contract, his money, and even his boyfriend.¡±
¡°Fu Sichen is a piece of trash! A big piece of trash! Pei Pei, you shouldn¡¯t turn gay. You should be straight again, boohoo.¡±
There were words of ridicule, deriding remarks, but also expressions of sympathy. Pei Zhen¡¯s ex-agency was as idiotic as to post likes on thements.
The fact that they added salt to the wound showed how cruel those capitalists were. But on the other hand, it drew even more sympathy from theizens.
¡°Pei Pei, slow down, slow down a little¡ ahhhhh, boohoo.¡±
Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian were en route and hurrying to Fu Sichen¡¯s agency. Xiao Nian, the drama queen, couldn¡¯t even quietly ride on a motorbike and had to spew a mouthful of suggestive lines.
Pei Zhen would have chided him if he weren¡¯t sozy.
With a twist of his wrist, he increased the speed of the bike, charging towards his destination.
He borrowed the motorbike from the stranger. It was weird. When the stranger realized that Xiao Nian was Pei Zhen¡¯s manager, there was a drastic change in his attitude, and he even suggested that they take the motorbike.
When they arrived at the agency, the manager was waiting at the front entrance. The engine of the motorbike was loud and attracted the attention of the crowd. They realized that it was Pei Zhen. The reporters were ted.
For sure they were here to create a scene! Hurry up! The bigger the drama was, the better!
When the vehicle came to a halt, the reporters rushed up. Pei Zhen pulled out the key and helped Xiao Nian down. Both of them got off the motorbike.
Xiao Nian was already thoroughly shaken up, and he couldn¡¯t hold it any longer. As the crowd closed in, he suddenly threw up a mess.
¡°Orrrghhhhh¡¡±
¡°Eeeeeks!¡± The unfortunate reporters that were close by panicked and started to retreat. Those in front backed into the people behind, stepping all over each other in themotion, cameras in hand. They got all tangled up.
Once they were all far enough from the vomiting Fairy Girl Xiao, they realized that the leading yer Pei Zhen was nowhere to be seen! In themotion, he had disappeared into the agency office!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The first thing Fu Sichen did after looking at the hot search was to call Pei Zhen.
He had no idea where Pei Zhen was, and couldn¡¯t get through his line.
Having lost patience, Fu Sichen got up and walked towards the door¡ªWang Youquan trotted behind calling out pathetically, ¡°Sichen, where are you going? Pei Zhen, he-he should¡ Pei Zhen?!¡±
The door swung open, and a handsome man was standing before them.
His posture was tall and straight, and the tips of his hair were a little messy. His eyes were beautiful with longshes, and they seemed to be sparkling with tears.
¡°Pei Pei.¡± Fu Sichen was shocked to see his young boyfriend in such a state. He quickly reached out to Pei Zhen. ¡°What¡ what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart was still pounding away, and his voice was hoarse. ¡°You are the Deputy General Manager?¡±
Fu Sichen was stunned, still worrying if Pei Zhen was indeed crying. His thoughts were in a mess, and he couldn¡¯t think straight. Still, he nodded.
¡°Wang Youquan. Mr. Wang.¡± Now that he had the answer, Pei Zhen was expressionless. He nced at Wang Youquan, saying, ¡°I need to talk to Sichen in private.¡±
Wang Youquan got the hint and excused himself. ¡°Ah, I just thought of something, and I need to go attend to it. I¡¯ll leave now.¡±
As soon as Wang Youquan left, Fu Sichen pulled Pei Zhen into the office quickly. Shutting the door with a bang, he pressed Pei Zhen up against it.
¡°Pei Zhen, are you crying? What¡ what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± He didn¡¯t give Fu Sichen the chance to finish before pushing the man away. ¡°What makes you think your Daddy¡¯s crying?!¡±
¡°Your¡ your eyes¡¡± Fu Sichen said.
Pei Zhen felt his own face with the back of his hand. Indeed it was quite wet.
It was no wonder. His eyshes were long and trapped water easily, and his voice was hoarse was because he was quite exhausted.
¡°It¡¯s just sweat.¡± He rolled his eyes at Fu Sichen and started to walk towards the sofa. Before he could take a step, he was pressed up against the door again.
They were very close.
The tips of their noses were almost touching, and their hot breaths brushed against each other. The atmosphere grew intense and suggestive.
¡°What are you doing.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s throat was parched, and his voice was hoarse from how close Fu Sichen was. ¡°Are you trying to start a hot and passionate rendezvous in the office?¡±
Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes were burning with desire, and he didn¡¯t deny it. ¡°I like your idea.¡±
¡°Get lost.¡± Pei Zhen pushed Fu Sichen aside roughly and headed over to the sofa. ¡°I haven¡¯t even settled the score with you, and your head is full of dirty thoughts.¡±
After traveling all that way, Pei Zhen was back to his sluggish self. He nestled himself into the sofa and instructed his boyfriend to pour him some water. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty and want some water.¡±
Fu Sichen was about to say something, but Pei Zhen gave him a stern look and said, ¡°And I mean real water, not your saliva.¡±
Pei Zhen wondered if Fu Sichen suppressed himself for too long. Ever since they were together, he spilled obscenities from his mouth freely.
Especially when they were in bed, the things he said made Pei Zhen blush and his heart go wild.
However, Pei Zhen was not in the mood for teasing. After gulping down the ss of water, he finally slowed down. He lifted his foot and kicked Fu Sichen. ¡°Deputy General Manager? Howe I didn¡¯t know you were the Deputy General Manager?¡±
He had to find out from the news report!
God knew how shocked he was when he saw a broadcast of the conference.
Fine, his boyfriend was rich, a lot richer than himself. To think that he even boasted of protecting Fu Sichen.
He turned red with embarrassment thinking about his arrogance.
Damn!
¡°I even borrowed money from my father.¡± The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. And as though one kick wasn¡¯t enough, he gave Fu Sichen another kick. ¡°Tell me, what would you have me say to Dad now? Oh, Dad, your daughter-inw is my true financer?¡±

Pei Zhen¡¯s emotions were in turmoil.
He knew that his Childhood Buddy Fu was an excellent man, but he didn¡¯t think he was THAT excellent.
While he was busy fighting for Best Actor Award, his boyfriend was already the Deputy General Manager of an agency!
¡°Given this, would you still have to pay the penalty?¡± Pei Zhen frowned slightly and questioned Fu Sichen, ¡°You really have to pay up three hundred million dors?¡±
¡°Yes. I¡¯ve settled it.¡± Fu Sichen was thinking about the rtionship between ¡®financer¡¯ and ¡®sugar daddy¡¯. Since Pei Zhen asked, he couldn¡¯t help but tease his young boyfriend. ¡°Your heart aches? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll hand over all my sry to you in the future.¡±
Pei Zhen red at Fu Sichen, annoyed, and tried hard to stand his ground as the ¡®Hubby¡¯. ¡°Have no fear, in future if you need any pocket money just get it from Daddy.¡±
Even if he had to bust all his credit cards, he¡¯d maintain the dignity of the Pei family!
Fu Sichen smiled, as though pacifying Pei Zhen¡¯s ego. However, Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t to be cated. He took out his payment app and wanted to prove his wealth there and then. But Fu Sichen ced a stack of agreement documents before Pei Zhen.
¡°It¡¯s my fault that I didn¡¯t tell you I¡¯m Deputy General Manager.¡± With Pei Zhen, Fu Sichen never had any issues taking a soft approach. ¡°I would like to sign you on.¡±
¡°Whatever for?¡± Pei Zhen remembered what Xiao Nian said about having to pimp himself. With a raised eyebrow, he was unable to hide his mocking smile. ¡°And you wish to be my sugar daddy? I¡¯m very expensive¡ P-Pei Zhen Studio?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Fu Sichen was still quite expressionless. ¡°I¡¯ve registered this studio, and I¡¯d like to sign you on. All the earnings from films will belong to you, and I¡¯ll not take anymissions.¡±
¡°F-Fu¡¡± Pei Zhen stammered.
¡°Are you surprised at the name of the studio, or are you surprised that I¡¯m not drawing amission?¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s foot was still on Fu Sichen¡¯s thigh, and Fu Sichen reached out to rest his hand on Pei Zhen¡¯s shin. ¡°I love you; will this reason do?¡±
Pei Zhen chuckled.
All the time that they were together, Fu Sichen had never used the word ¡®love¡¯. On hearing it, Pei Zhen¡¯s heart pounded, and blood rushed to his face, turning him a bright scarlet.
Registering and establishing a studio wasn¡¯t a matter that could happen overnight. Pei Zhen could only conclude that Fu Sichen had been working on it for some time.
He had thought way ahead in preparation of what might happen after they came out of the closet.
¡°Fu Sichen¡¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s grip on the documents tightened, and he choked with emotions. ¡°I¡¡±
I think I love you too¡
No matter what people were saying on the inte, the fact was that Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t in a bad situation even after terminating his contract with his ex-agency.
On top of that, his new boss had everything nned out for him and treated him like he was a deity. Things couldn¡¯t be better.
On the day Pei Zhen signed into the new studio, his new boss was warm and hospitable, and insisted that Pei Zhen should go to his ce for a celebratory drink.
Pei Zhen knew what his new boss was up to. On the one hand, he found it despicable; on the other hand, he went along with the n.
Fu Sichen prepared the meal himself.
After they had their meal and drinks, Fu Sichen dragged Pei Zhen to bed on the pretext that they should have some physical activity to celebrate the second wind in his career. Pei Zhen was furious and wanted to show his middle finger.
Eventually, Pei Zhen was happily topped once, and though it felt good, he was tired. The bicycle ride in the afternoon was enough to make up for a year¡¯s worth of exercising for Pei Zhen, and with a tilt of his head, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
There were consequences of not keeping the boyfriend satisfied. Early in the next morning, before Pei Zhen was even fully awake and got it figured if he was to be at the filming location, he was once more topped by his unquenched boyfriend.
When Xiao Nian turned up to pick Pei Zhen up, he couldn¡¯t help but remark, ¡°Daddy, have you been nourished by love again?¡±

The gay-themed movie wasn¡¯t affected by the matter ofing out of the closet, and filming continued.
There was no filming for Fu Sichen¡¯s role that day, but life was tougher for Pei Zhen. He had to film a segment in which his character was going through a time of deep self-analysis.
Pei Zhen had been signed on by Fu Sichen, naturally, the arrangement extended to include Xiao Nian. He hadn¡¯t even been jobless for a day when he very quickly became the future Best Actor¡¯s manager again.
Xiao Nian appeared to have turned up at perfect timing. When he saw Pei Zhen, thetter¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and there were signs of ambiguous activities showing on the delicate skin around his corbone.
At once, Xiao Nian¡¯s expression turned into one of amusement. When Fu Sichen was around, he didn¡¯t dare to say much, but with just him and the sluggish Pei Zhen, he couldn¡¯t help but makements.
¡°Daddy, it seems your rtionship with your boyfriend has stabilized.¡±
¡°Daddy, it¡¯s great to drive, but don¡¯t speed.¡±
¡°Daddy, why are you falling asleep again? Have you been kept awake by the vixen Fu Sichen and his pestering?¡±
Xiao Nian, whose head contained all sorts of dirty thoughts, became increasingly mischievous. Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t bring himself to say that he ended up being the bottom party. In the end, he just feigned indifference and told Xiao Nian to mind his own business.
¡°This is my business, of course.¡± Xiao Nian was a little peeved at being dismissed just like that. ¡°In the future, if you really make a greateback, all your rich women fans would most certainly turn into couple fans. I need to n ahead where your fans are concerned. And without understanding the intricacies between you and your boyfriend, I can¡¯t really do any meaningful marketing.¡±
Pei Zhen let out a big yawn.
Surely he couldn¡¯tin to Xiao Nian about the fact that the interactions, between his boyfriend and himself, were a daily routine of the ¡®you may float along as you wish, but I¡¯d still dote on you¡¯ kind.
Besides, it was himself who did the floating!
Pei Zhen stillcked sleep.
When he arrived at the filming location and was getting out of the car, he yawned a few times. Once he was out of the car, his peach blossom eyes were glistening, and the corners of his eyes were red.
Pei Zhen had fair skin.
The result of good genes.
The Condor Heroes were out at the archaeological sites every day, and they didn¡¯t seem to tan at all.
He had red eyes, fair skin, and was on a diet to lose weight for filming. Therefore when he turned up at the filming location, he was greeted by looks of sympathy.
¡°Did you read yesterday¡¯s news?¡±
¡°Rubbish, it¡¯s caused such a bigmotion that everyone has read it.¡±
¡°Oh dear, that¡¯s so pitiful. I¡¯ve never seen Pei Pei scramble and flee ¡¡±
¡°His eyes are bloodshot. I guess he¡¯s been crying all night. Sigh, he¡¯s in such a pitiful state and has still toe to film.¡±
¡°What else can he do if he doesn¡¯t film? Who knows, this may be his final assignment.¡±
The whisperings stopped there as many of his fans were sympathetic. The onsite assistants were especially proactive, and they were even attentive to Xiao Nian.
Pei Zhen wasn¡¯t a troublesome boss.
Normally when he was filming, Xiao Nian would be sitting by the side ying online games with his online ¡®wife¡¯. He was interrupted by someone serving him a hot cup of tea.
Xiao Nian looked up and was quite surprised to see the enthusiastic assistant. ¡°I¡ I¡¯ve had my tea.¡± Plus, he¡¯d gone to the toilet quite a few times!
¡°No problem; you deserve the best treatment.¡± The youngdy was warm-hearted, showering Xiao Nian with attention. ¡°Mr. Xiao, you¡¯re a good man. We leave Pei Pei in your good hands!¡±
The great manager Xiao was a little taken aback by the show of enthusiasm that seemed toe from nowhere.
At that point, a text message came in from his other Daddy, checking on whether there had been any barbaric men trying to make a move on his Pei Zhen.
[Not at all! Everything¡¯s good!] To put himself in the good books, Xiao Nian added almost immediately, ignoring his online wife, saying, [Ever since you came along, the world had be a better ce! People even look at me differently now!]
Fu Sichen called Xiao Nian and demanded, ¡°Describe how they look at you now.¡±
¡°With gentleness, loving kindness, and also a little fanaticism.¡±

Ever since Xiao Nian described how people looked at him, he lost all opportunities to be at filming sessions.
Fu Sichen had all sorts of excuses to keep Xiao Nian away and busy. There wasn¡¯t a moment of boredom for the champion manager.
Of course, even if Xiao Nian resented it, he didn¡¯t dare to voice his protest.
At most, he¡¯din to his wife during online gaming sessions. She¡¯dfort him saying, ¡°So what if you can¡¯t be at the filming location? It¡¯s no big deal. When your artiste gets the Best Actor award, you can even im credit for having done practically nothing.¡±
Funnily, that really made Xiao Nian feel better, and he realized that his wife was quite a clever woman. He sent her a few lovey-dovey messages that would have made anyone cringe.
Never in his imagination would he have thought that the man on the other end of the line wasughing evilly!
Lately, Pei Zhen had been busy analyzing the script.
It wasn¡¯t easy to grasp a character with a split personality; hence, he had had to spend more effort. It was only when filming wasing to an end that he realized it was Fu Sichen who had been by his side most of the time, which was unusual.
¡°Where¡¯s my son?¡± It was only then that he realized he hadn¡¯t seen Xiao Nian for quite a long time. Without the Fairy Girl nagging at him in his ears, Pei Zhen found it quite strange.
¡°He said he¡¯s been busytely, and he had to take his wife on a new game.¡± Fu Sichen passed the warmed-up milk to Pei Zhen. He thought nothing of ndering Xiao Nian. ¡°He¡¯s addicted to the online game.¡±
Pei Zhen chuckled.
He rolled his eyes. ¡°Based on his gaming skills? He¡¯s clumsy as hell! Instead of focusing on being a good manager, he thinks he¡¯s a gaming champion?¡±
As Pei Zhen was saying that, he became worried about his not-too-bright son. ¡°And this wife of his¡ we don¡¯t even know if it¡¯s really a woman. No, this is wrong. I need to save him.¡±
Pei Zhen was going to make a call to Xiao Nian when Fu Sichen quickly stopped him. ¡°Our son is a grown-up man. As parents, we have to let go.¡±
Pei Zhen chuckled.
The next filming session was in the evening. Given the rare break, Fu Sichen and his young boyfriend took the opportunity to get into a lovey-dovey mood.
They went into the resting room and shut the door behind them. It was quiet, and there were only the two of them in the room.
Fu Sichen walked towards Pei Zhen, and with a slight push, the sluggish Pei Zhen fell into the folds of the sofa without any resistance.
Lifting a knee, Fu Sichen parted his young boyfriend¡¯s legs. He lowered his head and brushed his lips against Pei Zhen¡¯s face. Pei Zhen did nothing to stop Fu Sichen¡¯s advances.
¡°Have you thought through how to handle the final fall out scene?¡±
¡°Of course, I¡¯ve thought about it.¡± Pei Zhen looked at Fu Sichen without blinking. From his mesmerizing eyes to his perfect lips, and then his seductive Adam¡¯s apple. Suddenly he felt hot all over. ¡°And what about you? Not quite sure how to handle it? Do you need advice on it?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s gaze was aze with desire.
¡°And how are you going to ask for advice?¡± Pei Zhen asked, his Adam¡¯s apple moving slightly.
¡°With my mouth.¡±
Theyughed softly, their voices irresistibly teasing each other. Then closing in, their lips met in the intensity of their hot breaths on each other. After having been intimate so many times, it was understandable that Pei Zhen was like a cat, biting and gnawing with his teeth until he drew blood.
Hence when the assistant came round knocking and saw Fu Sichen¡¯s bruised lips, she turned red with embarrassment as she thought of the rumors that were circting in the social circles.
Fu Sichen called Pei Zhen ¡®Hubby¡¯.
Fu Sichen was actually a little vixen.
Fu Sichen was, without doubt, the bottom party.
¡°Hey, you two¡¡± The Director was going to roll his eyes, but when he looked at Pei Zhen¡¯s face, he found himself not knowing how to put it across.
He felt quite ill, to say the least!
On the other hand, he was unable to restrain himself from addressing the issue. Eventually, he pulled Pei Zhen aside and said, ¡°I know you two have a good rtionship, but we are filming after all, and you¡¯ve got to think about Fu Sichen¡ what if he got injured.¡±
They were only kissing, thought Pei Zhen. How would that trante into an injury?

Ofte, Fu Sichen had been working hard to make his presence felt. He had only just quashed a potential rumor of Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian being a couple to secure his position as Pei Zhen¡¯s boyfriend.
He was satisfied.
Of course, it wasn¡¯t enough to just make the filming crew feel good. He also needed to correct any misperceptions among theizens.
¡®Pei Zhen Studio¡¯ was thusunched.
Pei Zhen signed a contract with the studio and started to take on sponsorship deals and assignments once again.
The studio didn¡¯t draw amission and didn¡¯t impose demanding terms and conditions. In addition, the boss behind the studio was Fu Sichen!
When the news was out, it was a cruel p to those who were rejoicing in other people¡¯s adversity, and those who were pointing fingers and making nastyments. Now they have no cause to continue making those remarks.
Their faces would have been swollen from all the ps!
Fu Sichen wasn¡¯t a piece of trash, and neither was Pei Zhen in dire straits as they thought. Maybe riding a bicycle was Daddy Pei¡¯s whim of the moment, and perhaps he just needed some exercise.
And with theunch of the movie ¡®The Scam¡¯, it became the talk of the town. Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen, being the two hottest co-stars, made the film a hit with their superb acting skills.
The movie did far better than expected.
The movie was a mega-hit, scoring both in box office and review, particrly Pei Zhen¡¯s character. In the movie, his characterid down a perfect scam, which left theizens in tears.
¡°Have you watched The Scam? It was excellent!¡±
¡°I wasughing idiotically at the start, but the ending made me weep like hell!¡±
¡°I cried from the movie theatre to my home, my mum got a fright and almost made a police report. It¡¯s so sweet. [dodge].¡±

Although it was a gay-themed movie, in the end, they portrayed the rtionship as brotherly love in the context of a socialist society. However, the more vaguely and ambiguously they portrayed the rtionship, the more it stirred people¡¯s imagination.
There was no need to lead theizens on too much, as they already imagined all sorts of things. The film oozed with sweetness in the beginning. Only, when the bad guy regained his memory and shot his buddy, the good guy wasn¡¯t the only fool. It shattered the audience¡¯s hearts.
It was the beauty of a good tragedy.
¡®The Scam¡¯ received raving reviews and Pei Zhen¡¯s market value soared.
Theizens seem to ept Pei Zhen¡¯sing out, and they were paying attention to him again. Perhaps some of the fans that he had lost in the beginning had even returned and re-established their interest in him. On Weibo, theizens were crying ¡®Daddy is so dashing¡¯.
Once more, advertisers stirred. As long as one was generating traffic for their brands, they didn¡¯t care about your sexual orientation¡ªit wasn¡¯t criminal to be gay. Even the country had no national stand, who were the keyboard heroes to pass judgments?
Pei Zhen was actively taking up sponsorship deals again.
Of course, that made Xiao Nian happy. He flipped through the schedule. ¡°Pei Pei, a global chain selling fried chicken has approached us and invited you to be their spokesperson. Do you want to take this up? I think there¡¯s no harm.¡±
Pei Zhen was finally not cking and yawning on the sofa. The dart in his hand flew towards the dartboard with a swoosh. ¡°Yes, take it up.¡±
¡°There¡¯s a Republican era spy movie¡ªthe director, Wang Zheng, is one with a conscience.¡±
¡°And there¡¯s more. The National Television has invited you to y a part in a public service announcement.¡±
¡°National Television?¡± Pei Zhen paused. He had already thrown the dart, and it hit the bull¡¯s eye right in the center. ¡°Public Service announcement?¡±
Xiao Nianmented, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right, it is indeed national level. While it¡¯s great, the fees they are offering are peanuts!¡±
Pei Zhen chuckled.
Was the point all about the fees?!
He almost rolled his eyes. He stopped his game and took the public service announcement script from Xiao Nian.
¡°It has to do with stray cats and dogs.¡± Xiao Nian briefed Pei Zhen dutifully. ¡°Pei Pei, do you remember the time you fought off the dog thieves, as well as the time you heroically tackled the dog abuser?¡±
¡°I was a freaking cat at that time!¡± Pei Zhen said.

Pei Zhen even suspected at one time if Xiao Nian had spread the news that he had previously turned into a cat.
¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Xiao Nian made a gesture of zipping his mouth closed. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell anyone about that incident!¡± Errr¡ except¡ except for his ¡®wife¡¯¡
But.
In any case, inte romances were fake. They¡¯d asionally yed games online and had idle chats. Xiao Nian never felt that the other party would take his words for real. After all, when he first told his wife that he was a champion manager, she was quite outspoken.
¡°If you¡¯re a champion manager, then I¡¯m a cross-dressing man!¡±
¡°Well then¡¡± Pei Zhen got suspicious on hearing that. ¡°If the National Television is really scouting for talent, shouldn¡¯t they look for Fu Sichen?¡±
Talking nonsense was clearly Xiao Nian¡¯s forte. ¡°Most definitely, it¡¯s Fu Sichen who decided to give you this opportunity.¡±
Pei Zhen glowered.
For some reason, Pei Zhen felt a little offended by Xiao Nian remark. On the contrary, it was the man who walked in at that point who provided some sce.
¡°The National Television didn¡¯t look for me. They were indeed looking for Pei Zhen.¡±
The suit made the man look even taller and more imposing. His hair wasbed back, revealing a broad forehead¡ªhis features were distinctive and handsome.
¡°Fu¡ Fu¡¡± He wanted to say ¡®Best Actor¡¯, but for some reason, it felt insincere. Xiao Nian was a suave person and was bootlicker par excellence. ¡°CEO Fu, a great wee!¡±
CEO Fu gave him a disinterested nce. Xiao Nian looked as though lightning struck him. He quickly tried to please by giving a military salute before making himself scarce.
Only, before he left the room, he had whispered into Pei Zhen¡¯s ears, ¡°Make sure you serve investor Fu well. Bring out the best bedroom skills you have. Understand?¡±
Pei Zhen had no wish to understand. Without needing to lift a finger himself, Fu Sichen had thrown icy looks at Xiao Nian, scaring the man enough to pee in his pants.
The door opened and shut. One moment the man was there, the next moment he was gone. Once Xiao Nian left the room, Fu Sichen walked up to Pei Zhen and extended his arms, drawing Pei Zhen into his embrace.
He rested his chin on Pei Zhen¡¯s shoulder, and he tilted his head. Taking a deep breath, he drew in a whiff of the light perfume that energized him straight away.
¡°What¡ what¡¯s wrong?¡± Fu Sichen¡¯s breath brushed lightly against his boyfriend¡¯s neck. Pei Zhen turned red in his face, but not to be outdone, he encircled his arms around Fu Sichen and hugged him back. ¡°Has the day sucked everything out of you?¡±
Fu Sichenughed softly, tilted his head and kissed Pei Zhen. ¡°Just tired out from entertaining, but I feel better now after hugging you.¡±
If Fu Sichen said he was tired, then it must have been exhausting.
Pei Zhen knew in his heart that Fu Sichen was busy over at his studio, and it was all for him.
Pei Zhen felt deeply moved, and his heart was warmed. ¡°Don¡¯t overwork, it¡¯s no big deal¡ªI can take care of you¡ hey!¡±
He hadn¡¯t even finished what he was saying when a p came down hard on his butt. Pei Zhen was stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at Fu Sichen in disbelief. ¡°You!¡±
¡°I¡¯m the one taking care of you.¡± Outside of home, he didn¡¯t mind the asional addressing of Pei Zhen as ¡®Hubby¡¯. However, at home, it was important to establish rity. ¡°From now on, for each time that you foot the bill, I¡¯ll top you once.¡±
Pei Zhen glowered.
Wow, what an ego. Would the man take no pampering?
He¡¯d stop footing the bill then. Pei Zhen did a quick mental calction on the remaining amount in his bank and felt quite pleased with himself. It looked like he could indeed afford to buy a castle for his boyfriend some day.
¡°Oh, yes, we¡¯ve got an appointment tonight to have dinner with mum and dad.¡±
¡°What?¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s daydream of their beautiful future was suddenly interrupted.
¡°Our parents, they would like to have dinner.¡±
¡°N-no, wait, Fu Sichen¡¡± Pei Zhen was getting nervous. ¡°W-what dinner? It¡¯s not like I¡¯ve never met aunty and uncle. No, wait¡ parents?¡±
Fu Sichen smiled gently. ¡°Yes, your parents and my parents.¡±

He had never felt so betrayed by his own mother.
Especially before so many people, and to think she even used the word ¡®pleasured¡¯. Pei Zhen turned a bright scarlet just hearing it.
¡°Mum¡¡± Pei Zhen strode up to his mother, tossing out all formality and reservation. He snatched the wine ss from her hand. ¡°Guo¡¯er, you¡¯re drunk.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not drunk!¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s mother wasn¡¯t at all pleased that her wine ss had been taken from her, and banged the table. ¡°Drink up! Continue to drink! I¡¯m not drunk at all!¡±
¡°Mum¡¡± Pei Zhen pleaded.
¡°Oh do keep quiet.¡± Brushing all image aside, his mother said, ¡°The bottom party has no right to talk to me.¡± Her breath was heavy with alcohol.
Pei Zhen was speechless. Was that his real mother?!
Hence the family dinner ended in a bit of unexpected mess, with the two fathers helping their wives into their respective cars. Before Pei Zhen had the chance to heave a sigh of relief, Fu Sichen¡¯s father came up to them in a sh.
¡°Pei Pei, now that you¡¯ve got into Fu Sichen¡¯s bed, we¡¯re family.¡± Holding Pei Zhen¡¯s hand, Fu Sichen¡¯s father had a solemn expression and said with a sort of ted boldness, ¡°A little red packet, keep this. In the future, if Fu Sichen should not treat you well, I¡ I¡ I will report him to the police!¡±
Pei Zhen chuckled.
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Fu Sichen encircled an arm around Pei Zhen¡¯s waist and looked at his father with coldness in his eyes. ¡°I will treat Pei Zhen very well. Leave the red packet here. You may go.¡±
Before Fu Sichen¡¯s father could leave, Pei Zhen¡¯s father immediately rushed over like a bolt of lightning, and he held Fu Sichen¡¯s hand.
¡°Sichen, my daughter-inw, this is a little token from me, please take it.¡± It was another red packet, and he shoved it into Fu Sichen¡¯s hand. Pei Zhen¡¯s father was like a method actor. ¡°I know it¡¯s hard to be the one in the shadow, thank you for giving in to my Pei Pei, the mini top party.¡±
Fu Sichen tried not to roll his eyes.
Although not too pleased that his father was talking down, and even more disagreeable that he was the mini top party, Pei Zhen was quite smug to hear someone referring to Fu Sichen as the ¡®daughter-inw¡¯. He patted Fu Sichen on the shoulder and added a few heartfelt words.
¡°Darling, don¡¯t worry. I will cherish and love you all my life, and will not abandon you till death.¡±
The vow was indeed touching. Surprisingly Fu Sichen didn¡¯t get angry upon hearing that, and only wanted tough.
What was initially thought of as a rather formal meeting of the parents turned out to be quite the opposite and ended amazingly. The two fathers, unlike the mothers, thought of their own sons as the top party. Even along the way home with their drunk wives, they wouldn¡¯t stop debating.
Although the ending left them not knowing whether tough or to cry, Pei Zhen could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Surprisingly self-aware, he told Fu Sichen quite earnestly after the two old men had left, ¡°Darling, thank you for saving my ego.¡±
It wasn¡¯t that Pei Zhen was especially particr about it. When he was using the term ¡®daughter-inw¡¯, it was all in jest.
Even if the truth came out, it would have been alright. He thought that Fu Sichen would have spoken up. Only, he didn¡¯t expect that Fu Sichen would pamper him to that extent.
The darling Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow and smiled. ¡°For you, I¡¯d dly go through any hardship.¡±
Their eyes met, and tenderness filled them like the star-lit skies.
After the meeting of the parents-inw, apart from the formalization of their sons¡¯ rtionship, it also gave the paparazzi some juicy content for their headlines.
There were already rumors circting that Fu Sichen was the bottom party, although most of theizens didn¡¯t believe it. However, when the audio recording of what Pei Zhen¡¯s father said at the entrance of the restaurant found its way into the social media tforms, it became almost impossible to deny!
Pei Zhen, the world¡¯s cutest mini top party!

Chapter 221: The Power of Love Was Great
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mini top party?
Crap!
Pei Zhen was rather gloomy.
One would¡¯ve thought that it was a happy asion being recognized publicly as the top party. However, the use of the prefix ¡®mini¡¯ was quite damaging!
¡°I¡¯m a hundred and eighty¡ no, almost a hundred and eighty-three centimeters!¡± Swiping through Weibo, Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t help feeling resentful. ¡°Mini? Who¡¯s mini now!¡±
¡°Okay, stop fighting it.¡± Xiao Nian threw a nket over Pei Zhen. ¡°Go to sleep, Daddy. You haven¡¯t been napping muchtely.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going to nap.¡± Daddy Pei threw the nket aside and said with much righteous and principled anger, ¡°Stop getting in the way of my anger.¡±
Xiao Nian immediately kept quiet.
The power of love was great. It would cause people to fall into indulgence, and even change a person¡¯s daily habits!
It wasn¡¯t until Pei Zhen had gone through pages ofments that the mini-van finally arrived at the television broadcast station.
Pei Zhen hadn¡¯t gone silent for long, and he was already in great demand again. The moment he got off the mini-van, reporters swamped around him, looking at him eagerly.
¡°Pei Pei, we heard that your parents and Fu Sichen¡¯s parents have met.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, have you known Fu Sichen for a long time? It seems that you graduated from the same high school.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen, did your mother get drunk because she was upset and didn¡¯t want to ept the situation?¡±
Pei Zhen wanted to retaliate that they knew nothing and that they should stop imagining that this whole situation was a tragedy. Their parents had never tried to be in the way of their rtionship! His mother was drunk because she was happy!
¡°Apologies, apologies. Pei Pei is in a hurry.¡± Xiao Nian was a discerning man, and with the help of the bodyguards, they managed to dodge the nosey reporters. ¡°If there is timeter, we will answer all your questions.¡±
The entourage shielded Pei Zhen as he entered the building. The paparazzi were quite disappointed and wished they could seize the man and get him to answer all their eight hundred questions.
Pei Zhen arrived ten minutes early so that he didn¡¯t appear too eager nor look too arrogant. After a short meeting with the Director, they started the filming.
The theme of the public announcement was to protect stray animals.
¡°We hear that you¡¯ve always been a supporter of the Animal Aid Shelter?¡± The Director had a good impression of Pei Zhen, and hence he naturally had a friendly smile when he was going through the script with Pei Zhen. ¡°It¡¯s very precious, really.¡±
Pei Zhen was interacting with the animals brought onto the show. Heughed, but his words were quite presumptuous. ¡°After the filming of the public announcement, you have to disseminate it widely, and I¡¯d like this to be made known to everyone.¡±
¡°Hey, Pei Pei.¡± Xiao Nian, who was standing by the side, was shocked and red at Pei Zhen. He quickly exined to the equally stunned Director with a smile. ¡°Pei Pei, he¡¡±
¡°Indeed true to the rumors, arrogant and full of himself.¡± Although the Director was stunned, he, however, took it in his stride and said, ¡°Fortunately my daughter forewarned me. I know, youngsters call this behavior ¡®proud coddle¡¯.¡±
What? Proud coddle? Excuse me?! Pei Zhen thought. Why does it seem that the terms used to describe metely sound so weak?!
¡°Right, right, right.¡± Xiao Nian took advantage of the opportunity to continue, saying, ¡°Pei Zhen¡¯s intention and hope are to have the public service announcement get more exposure so that the idea of protecting animals will better take root in people¡¯s consciousness.¡±
The Director looked deep in thought and nced at Xiao Nian with a profound expression. In his heart, he was, of course, aligned with the Station Director¡¯s point of view.
Pei Zhen was a good actor, and even though his manager Xiao Nian looked like a pushover, in reality, he was quite astute.
Just look, with a few words, he was able to raise the level of thinking of his artiste to another level, and because of that, managed to maximizer the artiste¡¯s exposure.
Once he was able to establishmunication with the fine actor, filming could progress quite easily. While working with animals wasn¡¯t a task that one would expect to be easy, Pei Zhen seemed to possess an innate ability to get the animals to cooperate.

Although it was a public service announcement, when it came to filming, naturally they would look for celebrity pets.
That was probably the easiest and most rxing assignment the animal trainer ever had. There wasn¡¯t the slightest need for him to prepare the animals psychologically¡ªPei Zhen alone did the job beautifully.
When Pei Zhen was filming, Xiao Nian went rubbing shoulders with the pet manager.
¡°The highest fees.¡± The manager made a hand gesture. ¡°Thereabouts.¡±
It was a six-figure sum!
Xiao Nian¡¯s expression lit up in an instant. After Pei Zhen finished filming, he trotted over. ¡°Daddy, Daddy, let¡¯s take Bobo out to y next time.¡±
Bobo was the cat that Pei Zhen risked his life to save¡ªthe same cat whose Pei Zhen¡¯s spirit upied for a short time in the past.
Ever since Pei Zhen became a human again, they had changed the cat¡¯s name. But it was still an amazing cat¡ªit didn¡¯t answer to any names except Bobo.
Fu Sichen mentioned that the apartment balcony always seemed covered in bird droppings. It reminded them of that crazy fat bird that idolized Fu Sichen.
¡°Definitely it was the bird who taught Bobo all the bad behaviors!¡± Pei Zhen said indignantly, thinking that the bird should even lust after his own boyfriend. He¡¯d asked his boyfriend to shut the windows. ¡°It has ulterior motives; we have to prevent any bird and cat rtionship from blooming!¡±
Having said that, not only did the windows remain open, birdfeed had appeared on the balcony.
¡°Oh, Bobo can attract dogs and birds? Let¡¯s also have him attract more birds!¡±
Xiao Nian thought about the future and how he could make a lot of money, then his eyes glistened. ¡± Daddy¡!¡±
¡°Rejected. It¡¯s ineffective,¡± Daddy Pei said coldly.
He wouldn¡¯t want to have some researcher getting hold of his cat. What if they found the cat to possess some supernatural gift or talent?
Talking about the Persian cat reminded Pei Zhen of Fu Sichen.
The viewership for thest season of War of the Pets broke the record, and for that reason, they had made a few visits to Fu Sichen to plead with him to film for the show again. He finally agreed.
Hence, he had taken the cat with him to film. He was separated from Pei Zhen and missing his young boyfriend deeply.
The filming for War of the Pets initially called for the same cast, but Lin Yousu was eventually kicked out.
Knowing that Lin Yousu had once tried to drug Fu Sichen, the fact that Wang Youquan had not taken any action was already a generous gesture. However, the normally easy-going man had made it very clear in that instance. ¡°If Lin Yousu is going to be involved in the filming, then Fu Sichen will not participate.¡±
It was a no-brainer, of course, they chose Fu Sichen. The filmmaker was on considerably good terms with Wang Youquan and asked for the insider story.
Wang Youquan very purposefully made a huge deal out of the drugging incident and left the rest to the man¡¯s imagination. Hence, the next day on a forum, an article appeared, one on a certain female celebrity with the surname starting with ¡®L¡¯ who tried to drug someone¡ªthe story made the headlines.
The post seemed quite logical and factual, and it pointed to Lin Yousu directly, especially when the writer vaguely mentioned some female celebrity drugging some Best Actor.
Best Actor¡
Apart from Fu Sichen, who else could that have been referring to? He was the most well-known Best Actor in the entertainment circle at the moment.
Suddenly the keyboard warriors became aggressive and fierce andunched an attack on Lin Yousu. Of course, she was infuriated.
The audience was a lot more concerned about not seeing the Husky in this new season of War of the Pets than not seeing her, making things more painful for her.
¡°Missing the Number 2 Husky, missing the cat and dog couple!¡±
¡°Jack was too unfortunate, his future in entertainment ended so early!¡±
¡°Would the show not consider letting Best Actor Fu look after the dog? QAQ¡±

There was no way Fu Sichen would keep a dog.
He was even a little reluctant to keep a cat.
He didn¡¯t hate animals, but neither did he like them. He respected them, but he wasn¡¯t enthusiastic about them.
To the extent that once the Persian cat was just a Persian cat, Fu Sichen became quite detached from it.
In fact, he was a little cold.
However, that was true the other way round too. The Persian cat was simrly cold towards him.
Compared to the effortless harmony between the man and cat observed during the first time they participated in the War of the Pets, much of that chemistry was missing the second time around.
When the Director asked for a picture of the pair, the man was reluctant to move, and the cat refused to be carried. In the end, Fu Sichen obliged only because Wang Youquan was looking at him with pleading eyes.
The moment he reached for the cat, the cat let out a pathetic ¡®Awooooo¡¯.
Looking at each other was a real chore for the pair. When the filming ended at the end of the day, both man and cat were exhausted. After a bath, the cat jumped through the air, straight towards the bed.
Before the cat could evennd on the bed, someone had grabbed it by the scruff of its neck.
¡°Who allowed you to get onto my bed, go to your own corner.¡±
And where would that corner be?
Needless to say, it would be the sofa.
The Persian cat was furious and charged at Fu Sichen, baring its teeth and waving its ws, creating such amotion that Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t sleep.
Finally, Fu Sichen had an excuse.
He made a video-call to Pei Zhen.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s voice could be hearding from the other end of the line. The Persian cat flew over with a swish, like an arrow released from a bow.
Before Pei Zhen could say a thing to Fu Sichen, a fat round cat had suddenly upied all of the phone¡¯s video screen. ¡°Meow¡¡±
It sounded terribly grieved, its blue eyes were round and glistening as if it was going to cry the next minute.
¡°Little darling, are you having fun filming?¡± Pei Zhen could not help smiling when he saw his big darling boyfriend. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did your Daddy Fu bully you?¡±
Separated by the screen and unable to get a pat from Pei Zhen, the Persian cat felt frustrated and meowed softly again.
¡°It¡¯s just acting pitiful.¡± Fu Sichenined, unhappy that the phone screen was taken over by the cat. He coldly swept the cat aside. ¡°It¡¯s well-fed and sleeps well; it even scratched a dog today.¡±
Saying that, he changed the topic to focus on himself. ¡°What about you? Do you only care about that wretched little cat?¡±
What Fu Sichen meant was that there was this bigger darling right there that needed pampering and caring for!
¡°Don¡¯t you feel sillypeting with a cat?¡± Pei Zhen asked with scorn in his voice, but couldn¡¯t help asking next, ¡°How many more days are you there for?¡±
He remembered that, cough cough, when he was a cat and took part in the show, the filming took ce over a week.
¡°Seven years.¡±
¡°So long?!¡± Pei Zhen eximed.
¡°A day without you feels like a year!¡± Fu Sichen boldly proimed. ¡°The days feel exceptionally long when you¡¯re not here.¡±
Pei Zhen felt the pain, and it almost broke his heart. ¡°Errrrr, how about I give you a kiss?¡±
¡°Go ahead!¡±
As Fu Sichen said that, the Persian cat suddenly flew over again with a swoosh and put itself between FuSichen and the phone, making itself the recipient of the kiss.
Fu Sichen was thoroughly annoyed.
¡°Meow,¡± said the satisfied cat.
Fu Sichen turned icy and felt like strangling the cat. ¡°You little bastard!!!¡±
¡°Hey, it¡¯s midnight.¡± Pei Zhen was secretly happy to catch Fu Sichen in a rare moment of jealousy,pletely ignoring how the pitiful man felt. ¡°Goodnight, I¡¯m going to bed.¡±
Before Fu Sichen could even get a word in, the video call was disconnected, and the only image left on the screen was the Persian cat¡¯s fat face.
How pathetic!

The Cat Show-off Demon Fu Sichen had ceased to show-off his cat on Weibo in recent days.
Having not seen the Persian cat, theizens missed it and were frantically reminding Fu Sichen to post more pictures, and not to forget about his fans because he had Pei Zhen.
There was only one thing that Fu Sichen was interested in.
And that wasn¡¯t showing-off the cat!
Showing-off Pei Zhen¡ perhaps that could be considered.
¡°The sleeping beauty Pei Zhen.¡±
¡°Lazybones Pei Zhen.¡±
¡°Pei Zhen eating seafood.¡±
Only, showing-off his young boyfriend was really out of the question. The female fans were hungry for some eye candy, but Fu Sichen¡¯s pictures were either under-exposed or over-exposed to the point that nothing could be seen!
Theizens wailed painfully and asked, ¡°rify it! Do you actually love Daddy Pei, or are you out to slime him!¡±
Fu Sichen couldn¡¯t care less and continued to do as he pleased. The Weibo that he had never cared about in the first ce had be a ce to showcase all things lovey-dovey.
The posts weren¡¯t any sensational news. They were just little moments about Pei Zhen¡ªeven a smile kept him enchanted for a long time.
A long, long time indeed¡
Although the filmed episodes of The War of the Pets wouldn¡¯t be released immediately, snippets of funny scenes were transmitted beforehand.
The film production crew knew whom the audience would be most interested in; hence, the first snippets released were of Fu Sichen and his Persian cat. Shots of the man and cat looking at each other, or the cat scratching someone, or the cold attitude of Fu Sichen towards the Persian cat.
They were hrious.
Thinking back to thest episode of the show, andparing the interaction between man and cat¡ªthey even came up with funny poems, sympathizing the neglected cat.
Although the man and his cat didn¡¯t quite get along, the filming was quite sessful. When the man and cat could no longer go on, Fu Sichen only needed to take a look at Pei Zhen¡¯s photograph and breathe deeply, and then he¡¯d be revitalized immediately.
Wang Youquan, who was following Fu Sichen, was thoroughly embarrassed by Fu Sichen¡¯s behavior. Every time Fu Sichen stared at Pei Zhen¡¯s photograph in that love-sick manner, it sent shivers up his spine.
¡°We¡¯d like to find out if Pei Zhen is filming a public welfare advertisement?¡± There was a focus on the theme of animal protection in thetest show, and they had approached Fu Sichen and Wang Youquan. They were quite upfront about their intention. ¡°We would like to broadcast the show after the public welfare advertisement, would you be agreeable?¡±
It was obvious that they were trying to ride on National Television to capture higher viewership, but the theme was simr, so there was no real conflict.
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t object and even came up with a n to increase reach.
The show¡¯s crew was pleasantly surprised and felt eternally grateful to Fu Sichen. ¡°Best¡ Best Actor Fu¡ if there¡¯s anything at all we can do for you, please just let us know.¡±
Fu Sichen smiled and replied, ¡°I wish toplete filming earlier.¡±
The crew was stumped.
Wang Youquan didn¡¯t know what to say.
Subsequently, the filming was shortened andpleted in five days instead of the initially nned seven days. The day that they left the filming location, Fu Sichen and the Persian cat were like school children starting their holidays. They couldn¡¯t wait to get back to Dong Hai City.
Pei Zhen toopleted filming of the public service announcement. The moment the Director shouted ¡®cut¡¯, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They bantered for a while, and the Director even wanted to throw a wrap-up banquet.
Xiao Nian¡¯s mobile phone rang, and Pei Zhen headed to the changing room.
The lighting along the corridor to the resting room was dim. Pei Zhen¡¯s conscience had always been clear, and he tried not thinking much about anything spooky.
Until¡
A tall and almost flirtatious youth was standing at the entrance of the resting room. When he saw Pei Zhen, he gave him a coquettish nce. ¡°Daddy Pei, you¡¯re here.¡±
Pei Zhen looked at him quizzically.
¡°Daddy Pei, although I can¡¯tpare myself to Best Actor Fu, I¡¯m very well-behaved.¡±
But in reality, Pei Zhen thought, I¡¯m just a bottom party!

Initially, only women tried to fool around with Pei Zhen.
Ever since he¡¯de out of the closet, his world seemed to have changed. From time to time, men would show interest. Although Pei Zhen would ignore them, those who had high hopes persisted in making advances.
Like the cheap flirt before him right then.
He dressed in a tight-fitting shirt, and his pants sat low on his waist. He had painted eyes and smiled alluringly when he saw Pei Zhen. ¡°Daddy Pei, I need some acting advice from you, would that be possible?¡±
Pei Zhen wanted to send him off rudely. He didn¡¯t expect that there would be such shady characters at the National Television.
Pei Zhen, who still had his makeup on, was ufortable. But even though he was disgusted by the youth before him, he wasn¡¯t about to retreat.
Utter rubbish.
Of course, the man had to let him pass!
¡°Step aside,¡± Pei Zhen said without pretending to be polite as he approached the resting room entrance, ¡°You¡¯re in my way.¡±
¡°Mr. Pei.¡± The slicker clearly had no shame at all. Pei Zhen looked at him icily, but the youth took a few steps forward still. ¡°Best Actor Fu is proud and arrogant, and I¡¯m sure he¡¯s not a good match for you in bed. Mr. Pei, I¡¯m different. I¡¯m well-behaved.¡±
Pei Zhen was speechless.
¡°You can do as you please.¡± The youth continued to tempt him. ¡°There are no authentic rtionships in the entertainment circle. There¡¯s nothing wrong in having an affair once in a while.¡±
Between the sentences, he tried to lean up against Pei Zhen. His heady perfume was so offensive that Pei Zhen was on the verge of hitting him.
Pei Zhen clenched his fist, trying to control his urge.
He was going to ask the youth to scram when the sound of leather shoes tapping on the ground came from around the corner. Apanying them was an icy and hostile presence.
¡°Having an affair?¡± The man¡¯s voice was deep, and it carried angry undertones, causing the hairs on one¡¯s arms to rise. ¡°You¡¯re bold to be messing around with my lover.¡±
A dashing man appeared from around the corner of the corridor, the dim light casting shadows on him. The light illuminated half of the man, and the other was in darkness, making him look most threatening.
¡°F-Fu¡¡± The youth started to tremble when he saw the man. He stammered, ¡°I-I was just kidding¡ I-I will take my leave now and won¡¯t bother you further¡¡±
The youth scrambled in his nervousness and even fell while scurrying away. He left a shoe behind.
Even then, he didn¡¯t dare to retrieve the shoe and ran away with a barefoot,pletely embarrassed.
Tsk.
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t understand it. He had put on an icy expression too, and it didn¡¯t make that youth scram. But the moment Fu Sichen appeared¡
Pei Zhen turned to look at his boyfriend. The sharp boyfriend responded promptly when he saw Pei Zhen looking at him. He walked over to Pei Zhen as if Pei Zhen was the most precious thing in the world.
¡°I came over to look for you the moment filming ended.¡±
He took Pei Zhen¡¯s face in his hands and looked gently at his young boyfriend. ¡°Did you miss me? I¡¯ve been thinking of you.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s face was burning, but he nodded without retorting. ¡°I missed you.¡±
¡°To the point of having an affair, scaling the wall, cheating?¡± That Fu Sichen even left the youth intact was for the sake of not breaking thew. ¡°You¡¯re that popr huh, Pei Zhen?¡±
¡°Of course I¡¯m popr.¡± Pei Zhen had never doubted his own worth. ¡°He was the one who came pestering me.¡±
¡°Excuses. Couldn¡¯t you have pushed him away? Didn¡¯t he scram as he was told the moment I red at him?¡±
¡°H-How would I know.¡± The boyfriend was jealous without a cause again. Pei Zhen was worried that he¡¯d find reasons for more oundish bedroom punishments. ¡°That¡¯s most certainly because you look scary.¡± That¡¯s why he ran away!
Fu Sichen smiled.

Only Pei Zhen would dare toment that Fu Sichen¡¯s nature-defying good looks were scary.
Fu Sichen was almost amused. He had liked Pei Zhen for so many years, of course he knew what his young boyfriend was thinking.
¡°Fine, it was that cheap youth who was at fault.¡± Putting aside the youth who was lusting after his young boyfriend, Fu Sichen changed the topic by nting a full kiss on Pei Zhen¡¯s lips. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we renew our marriage after a long separation?¡±
The first step in a marriage would be to kiss to the heart¡¯s content!
Fu Sichen pressed Pei Zhen up against the door, a hand locked on the young boyfriend¡¯s waist and the other on the back of his head. They sealed their lips in a grinding kiss. There was a certain urgency in the union, having been apart for days. Fu Sichen parted his teeth and slid his tongue into Pei Zhen¡¯s mouth, searching desperately and not letting up.
Pei Zhen¡¯s legs weakened, and his breath shortened, not able to hold out any longer.
Until¡
¡°Pei Pei, there will be a press¡ conference¡ter.¡±
The socialite flower of Dong Hai City said as he hurried towards the resting room and started to stammer as he suddenly saw the scene unfolding before him. For some reason, even though he was obviously a straight man, he turned red when he saw the two men kissing.
Pei Zhen too turned a bright scarlet. His peach blossom eyes were misty, and he raised his eyes at Xiao Nian, looking very seductive.
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but notice that the look was very familiar.
He recalled an asion some time ago when Daddy Pei and Best Actor Fu went to the toilet together and returned all red in the face. Daddy Pei had stayed over at the serviced apartment, and when he had gone to pick Daddy Pei up the next day, Daddy Pei again had this same look on his face.
Oh¡ the two of them must have had something going on since those asions.
What did he say it was back then?
Fever?
Oh, good grief!
Xiao Nian suddenly saw the light and wanted to p himself. He was shocked by his own stupidity!
¡°Is that all?¡± The interruption annoyed Fu Sichen, who reluctantly pulled his lips away from his young boyfriend¡¯s, although, he was still holding Pei Zhen in an ambiguous embrace. ¡°You can go if you¡¯re done.¡±
¡°Yes, CEO Fu. I¡¯ll scram right away, CEO Fu.¡±
Now that he had caught on, Xiao Nian no longer cared to contemte the extent of his own stupidity. Before he disappeared, he added annoyingly, ¡°The press conference starts in thirty minutes.¡±
The two entwined men, who had been interrupted for longer than they could stand, red icily at the retreating Xiao Nian.
Eventually, Pei Zhen had to leave for the press conference.
Fu Sichen petntly followed Pei Zhen into the resting room and watched as Pei Zhen removed his makeup and changed. But whenever he tried to get anywhere with Pei Zhen, thetter would cruelly push him away.
¡°Do you have any assignments tomorrow?¡±
¡°Yes, and for the whole month as well,¡± Pei Zhen replied as he quickly changed into his suit.
¡°I¡¯ve instructed Xiao Nian.¡± Fu Sichen looked annoyed. ¡°He wasn¡¯t to take on too many assignments. I¡¯m going to have to change your manager.¡±
¡°Change to whom?¡± Pei Zhen chortled.
¡°That goes without saying,¡± Fu Sichen said, once again persisting in embracing Pei Zhen from behind, ¡°Me. What do you think?¡±
Pei Zhen looked at Fu Sichen in the eye through their reflection in the full-length mirror and stopped mid-way through knotting his tie. ¡°You?¡±
¡°Uh-huh.¡±
¡°And if you were my manager¡ you wouldn¡¯t be taking on assignments of your own?¡±
¡°Of course I will.¡± Fu Sichen brought his lips right next to Pei Zhen¡¯s ear, suggestively. ¡°I¡¯ll only take on those with you in it.¡±
His breath was warm, brushing against Pei Zhen¡¯s ear and turning it red. Pei Zhen shuddered involuntarily. ¡°For real?¡±
Fu Sichen was just 27, and even though they hade out of the closet, it was the peak of their career¡ªthey had a great future before them.
Being selective of assignments simply meant partial retirement. Would he want to do that?
Pei Zhen was surprised, but seeing that Fu Sichen nodded, he was quick to ept. ¡°Sure, if you really want to retire, I can take care of you.¡±

¡°I can take care of you.¡±
As expected, the moment Pei Zhen said it, a hard p fell on his butt. Fu Sichenughed icily. ¡°Oh, that confident?¡±
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t believe his ears.
His boyfriend was truly petty. Not only did he not allow it in action, but he wouldn¡¯t even allow Pei Zhen say things like that.
At that point, Xiao Nian¡¯s voice could be heard through the door, reminding Pei Zhen that it was time to go. Pei Zhen shot a re at Fu Sichen and pushed him away coldly. ¡°This disy of physical affection in bright daylight is not proper.¡±
The unsatisfied and edgy Fu Sichen took a deep breath and straightened up.
Fu Sichen followed Pei Zhen to the press conference.
There were many reporters at the press conference, and the minute Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen appeared, it stirred a bigmotion.
There were questions about their parents again. The people were still interested in who was the top party, and who was the bottom party in the rtionship. Once they saw Fu Sichen, they tried all means to get Fu Sichen to give away information that they could sensationalize.
¡°Best Actor Fu, when you¡¯re with Pei Zhen, would you always be¡¡±
Always be what?
Be the bottom party? Are you the passive party? Are you the one being topped?
No matter what, Fu Sichen was quite hostile towards those nosey people.
He ignored the nosey reporters and continued to walk holding Pei Zhen¡¯s hand. The lenses zoomed in, and the cameras started clicking away. Even with bodyguards, they almost couldn¡¯t handle the crowd.
¡°Best Actor Fu, as a man yourself, how does it feel to be had by another man? Does it feel good?¡±
Some of the reporters were bold and went all out. Seeing that the pair were about to enter the event venue, they were still full of ill intentions and practiced no restraint with their questions.
With a pornographic ent to that question, the other reporters startedughing, but the reporter asking that question swelled with arrogance, and even whistled. ¡°Boytoy.¡±
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t believe his ears.
Even if Fu Sichen didn¡¯t get mad, Pei Zhen was furious. He wanted to punch that reporter in the mouth. But before he could even turn around, Fu Sichen tightened his grip on Pei Zhen¡¯s hand.
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Fu Sichen smiled. ¡°It¡¯s a small tabloid paper. We¡¯ll make sure they don¡¯t survive another day.¡±
Generally, people could easily develop ill feelings or hostility towards things that were different, such as differences in opinions or different social groups.
The weaker party may need to tolerate or endure, but the stronger party could easily crush everything.
Fu Sichen always had ways to torment those who didn¡¯t respect differences in sexual orientation, for it was not different from not respecting a fellow human being.
Pei Zhen had no idea what measures Fu Sichen was nning to take. He only felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Fu Sichen was too good to him, to the point that he could sacrifice his own reputation.
¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Fu Sichen asked as they entered the event space. Since he was not part of the event, he naturally stayed away from the cameras. He squeezed Pei Zhen¡¯s hand. ¡°Now go, try and finish quickly. I¡¯d like to have dinner with you.¡±
Pei Zhen was pulled back from his train of thought and said an ¡®okay¡¯.
As Pei Zhen walked onto the stage, he took out his mobile phone and edited a post on Weibo.
Then he clicked ¡®send¡¯.
After he took his seat, he looked at his off-stage boyfriend in the eye and smiled confidently.
How could he keep letting his boyfriend protect him? He was going to prove to everyone that his boyfriend was a real man too!
Who would have thought that they way Pei Zhen would prove to everyone, was through admitting that he was the bottom party?
Xiao Nian had almost passed out by the time the assistant called. Logging into Weibo with a trembling hand, he almost shrieked when he saw the headline.
Thetest post from Pei Zhen: [From the Nth day that I was with Fu Sichen, Daddy had been toozy to move.]
If he wasn¡¯t the one moving, then it could only be Fu Sichen moving¡ in other words, Pei Zhen was the bottom party¡
Xiao Nian failed to understand, how would anyone rush to admit that he was the bottom party!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was a rather tactful Weibo posting from a celebrity. It was so diplomatically written that it made theizens ponder for a long time before they concluded what Pei Zhen meant by ¡®move¡¯.
In the beginning, the post drewments of disbelief. Gradually, the fans all lost their calm.
¡°I knew Pei Pei was the bottom party.¡±
¡°I want to know why Pei Pei admitted to being the bottom party, was it because of the mini top party?¡±
¡°Arghhhh, Daddy, please don¡¯t so readily admit. I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have said that you were the mini top party.¡±
¡°Daddy Pei, how about if I changed the form of address. Youngdy top party? Pure and innocent top party? Arrogant and proud top party? Please move ical].¡±
The Weibo post was made rather impulsively.
Pei Zhen was, after all, an arrogant and proud person. Even if he were an item with Fu Sichen, and even if he was the one on the bottom, there was no reason to be so¡ upfront with his own weakness.
Like theizens, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t find the words to express how he felt. He even wondered if it was the result of his own stupidity having a negative influence on the normally brilliant Pei Zhen.
Daddy Pei didn¡¯t mind too much.
The press conference was over by the time Xiao Nian ran over to tell Pei Zhen about it. Pei Zhen hadid back on the car seat sluggishly. ¡°It¡¯s better to be clear, to prevent any idiots approaching me from having unspoken expectations.¡±
Xiao Nian was speechless.
Fu Sichen was surprised too.
But beyond the surprise, he was moved.
Although Pei Zhen stubbornly refused to admit that he did it for Fu Sichen, thetter still yearned to take his young boyfriend into an embrace and then into bed!
How did his boyfriend turn out so cute!
And even if it was Pei Zhen being excessively self-aware, the way he stood up to protect Fu Sichen was adorable beyond words!
¡°Pei Pei¡¡±
Fu Sichen reached out and wrapped his little finger around Pei Zhen¡¯s. Pei Zhen froze for a moment and turned around. His lips were immediately met by Fu Sichen¡¯s.
It was gentle and warm.
Xiao Nian, the bachelor, was stumped.
The way the Best Actor and his sessor kept up their public disy of affection was too much to watch!
Ever since Pei Zhen came out of the closet, with the exception of the initial hiatus, it was as if he cheated and started to make the hot search headlines.
Apart from some news of his rtionship, most of it was about his new movies, variety shows, and sponsorships.
Time had flown, and seasons had passed. In the blink of an eye, it was December, and once again the Film Awards ceremony was around the corner.
The National Television¡¯s public service announcement aired at the end of November.
The script was brilliant, and the acting was spot on. Although it was only an advertisement, it unexpectedly became the talk of the town.
¡°Why are you buying dog food? I didn¡¯t think you had a dog at home.¡±
¡°There¡¯s a stray dog in the estatetely, and it looks pitiful. Let¡¯s do a good deed.¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. We should take care of it. The advertisement is right. Every life is precious.¡±
Things like that were happening gradually. Although it¡¯s hard to tell how much influence just one person could wield, it would have been a tragedy if one didn¡¯t even make an effort.
At the very least in the period during which the public service announcement aired, it managed to draw some attention. In addition, the War of the Pets was about to be broadcasted, making it a rather heartwarming season.
¡°You really want to give it a whole fish? This cat doesn¡¯t even catch mice, so why should it be given fish?¡±
It was a rare rest day, and Fu Sichen had cooked some of his young boyfriend¡¯s favorite dishes. Pei Zhen had insisted that a whole fish go to the cat.
Just because that fat and rotund Persian cat had meowed a couple of times!
His hands only served his young boyfriend!

The boyfriend was indeed petty.
Comparing how he was treating the Persian cat with the time when Pei Zhen was the Persian cat, Pei Zhen suspected if Fu Sichen was schizophrenic.
¡°You treated me rather well before¡¡± Pei Zhen choked on his words as if saying those words reminded him of the kiss.
Cough cough.
He couldn¡¯t help being shy!
Although Pei Zhen loved little animals, he¡¯d never kiss them. It wasn¡¯t that he minded; he just didn¡¯t have that habit.
¡°That¡¯s different.¡± Fu Sichen exchanged looks of disdain with the Persian cat and then smiled as he turned to Pei Zhen. ¡°Pei Zhen, I liked you.¡±
When he smiled, it was as though his eyes contained a million twinkling stars, bright and resplendent against the vast darkness. It was mesmerizing.
Pei Zhen¡¯s face heated up and he coughed, unable to help but smile back. ¡°I like you too, very, very much¡¡±
How lucky my life has been, to have met you, to have liked you, and to have been liked by you. Despite sexual orientation, the most important thing is that whatever I like, I can find in you.
And more than that, whatever you like, can be found in me.
Pei Zhen had gone from strength to strength in recent days, the movie The Scam had pushed his acting ability to a new height.
With the Film Awards approaching in December,izens debated as to whom the year¡¯s Best Actor would be, and opinions differed.
In the past, the expected winner was always Fu Sichen, but Pei Zhen¡¯s reputation was gradually catching up. They were almost shoulder-to-shoulder, and it caused quite a heated discussion!
On the day of the Film Awards, Pei Zhen had just finished his rehearsal. It was via an invitation from the National Television for the huge Lunar New Year program. The preparations had to be done way in advance.
As he left the broadcast performance hall, a gust of wind swept past, and Pei Zhen shivered in the freezing cold.
Winter had truly arrived, and it was predicted to snow within the next few days.
¡°Keep warm. Keep warm.¡± Xiao Nian had brought a jacket and hurried towards Pei Zhen against the headwind. ¡°Be careful not to catch a cold. You¡¯d look terrible on stage with a running nose.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t jinx me with your words,¡± Pei Zhen chided.
Saying that, he couldn¡¯t help but felt a little puffed up. ¡°Hehe, you think that I stand a chance to be up on stage to receive the award?¡±
Where the Best Actor throne was concerned, Pei Zhen was quite a determined contender! He found it hard to believe that he couldn¡¯t defeat Fu Sichen!
¡°Receive what award?¡± Xiao Nian snorted disdainfully. ¡°You? Perhaps you might be considered for going on stage to help give out an award. Daddy, not that I¡¯m saying this to annoy you, although Big Boss Fu hadn¡¯t been filming much in thetter half of the year, but don¡¯t you forget, he is the male lead for The Scam.¡±
Xiao Nian still has his misgivings about that.
Although Fairy Girl Xiao looked straight as a pencil, in private, he did secretly read ¡®Red Sleeves¡¯ web novels¡ªstories on ¡®tonic pure-love¡¯, as he had a thing for those sort of socialist brotherhood-love rtionships.
He had watched The Scam, went inughing and came out crying. Pei Zhen was quite disdainful when he found out about it but eventually recalled that at the time of filming, Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t around.
Fu Sichen sent him on various other errands.
Xiao Nian was extremely carried away by the movie and was emotionally exhausted watching it. At one point, he was so into the show that he actually gave Pei Zhen hateful res, and even created an ¡®anti-Pei Zhen¡¯ chat group.
Although, eventually he was ripped to shreds by Pei Zhen¡¯s fans.
¡°It¡¯s not possible.¡± Xiao Nian took another look at Pei Zhen and was unwavering in his own assessment. ¡°Daddy, you are fated to be the bottom party¡ªboth in the bed and in your acting career.¡±
Daddy Pei was annoyed. ¡°Scram.¡±
¡°Daddy, I¡¯m just preparing you, psychologically.¡± Xiao Nian was still going on and on after getting Pei Zhen into the mini-van. ¡°Things don¡¯t happen more than thrice isn¡¯t it so. You¡¯ve been in the running three years in a row, and you¡¯re full of confidence every year but end up falling t on your face.¡±
As expected they had received an invitation from the organizer again, saying that Pei Zhen had gotten into the Best Actor nomination list.
Xiao Nian was feeling the pain¡ªlife was just too fragile. He no longer had the endurance to bear thebel of ¡®the manager whose artiste has lost the Best Actor title¡¯.
Pei Zhen gave the great manager Xiao a dirty look. Talking to amoner was getting him nowhere. He might as well look for the male idol.
Coincidentally, Male Idol Fu sent through a text message at the same time: [Just making my way from the hotel, what about you?]
Pei Zhen¡¯s slender and long fingers typed out a reply: [I¡¯m thinking of how best to kill you off [smile].]
[Kill me off with lust and passion in bed [silly smile].]
Pei Zhen shot Xiao Nian yet another dirty look.
He couldn¡¯t understand it, was Fu Sichen¡¯s usual prim and proper demeanor all an act? Why was it that when they were together, he¡¯d be a totally different person?
That man was full of dirty thoughts, how shameful.
Pei Zhen remembered that when they were in high school, a ssmate came over to his ce, insisting that he had a treasure to show him.
They were youths and naturally curious. The mysterious ¡®treasure¡¯ turned out to be gay pornographic videos.
Pei Zhen had little interest in those things. From the time he was a child, he was tragically flooded by images of bones shown to him by his parents. It would have been very odd if he had cultivated an interest in matters of the flesh.
But he was egoistic.
He pretended to be cool and collected and watched the film with his ssmate. Just when it came to the part where the bodies entwined, the Genius Fu next door suddenly appeared at the doorway.
At that instant, Pei Zhen turned a bright scarlet.
The embarrassment of being caught red-handed!
He fumbled around for an exnation, but his childhood buddy Genius Fu had an expression cold as ice. Genius Fu immediately turned to go, looking rather infuriated.
The Fu Sichen that Pei Zhen knew back then was out of reach, restrained and distant, as though nothing worldly could touch him.
Who would¡¯ve thought that the rascal was a pig¡¯s hoof!
[Can your thoughts be more constructive?] Pei Zhen rolled his eyes wearily. [I was talking about killing you off in terms of acting skills!]
[Oh? Best Actor? If you win this year, I¡¯ll let you top me.]
On top¡?
Though still talking dirty, Pei Zhen was suddenly in a good mood and called Fu Sichen immediately. ¡°Hey, Mr. Fu, it¡¯s all set then. If I really end up getting the Best Actor Award, you¡¯ll let me top you!¡±
While it¡¯s true that it was less strenuous being the bottom party, Pei Zhen had thought through it. Even if it were only for his boyfriend, he¡¯d have to try it at least once!
Fu Sichen didn¡¯t hesitate one second. ¡°Pei Zhen, you know that when ites to you, I¡¯ll always stand by my word.¡±
Initially, Pei Zhen had nned to turn up at the event in his suit, but things were different with the bet in ce.
Right after hanging up the phone, Pei Zhen ordered the driver to drive to the mall. He made an appointment with an image consultant so that he could look his best!
Meanwhile, Xiao Nian was muttering on the side, saying, ¡°Oh, well, that¡¯s not bad too. If you don¡¯t end up with the award, you can use your beauty to throw a tantrum and have your way with Big Boss Fu.¡±
Pei Zhen shot Xiao Nian yet another dirty look.
No matter how the great manager Xiao tried to put him down, Pei Zhen¡¯s sense of self-confidence was flying high.
Pei Zhen came from a line of good genes. All those years stering on so much makeup, his skin was still enviable.
The image consultant worked quickly, and in no time, he gave Pei Zhen a whole new look.
The grey suit looked exquisite on him.
With a raise of his eyebrow, he looked every bit stylish and deadly handsome.
Especially with the red tie, he was dashing and alluring all at once.
When he stepped out of the changing room, even Xiao Nian, who had been with Pei Zhen for so many years, drew in a deep breath.
¡°Pei Zhen, you¡¯re finished.¡±
Pei Zhen chuckled.
¡°Just you wait till Big Boss Fu shows his raw instincts.¡±
¡°Huh.¡±
Pei Zhen smiled.
He had to admit; he was doing it on purpose.
If he didn¡¯t dress to kill, how would he enchant Fu Sichen so that Fu Sichen would allow him to do as he pleased?
With that, the Best Actor candidate finally felt ready to make his entrance at the event.
By then the reporters and fans had all gathered at the entrance of the hotel. Although the weather was freezing, the atmosphere was abuzz with excitement.
The fans were all excited by the celebrities who were trickling in. But when Pei Zhen appeared, shrieks and screams filled the air.
¡°Arghhhhhh!¡± Pei Pei¡ ¡°So dashing!¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to faint! Daddy, I love you!!!¡±
¡°Daddy Pei!!!¡±
Pei Zhen had overdone it. The security on site had to go into overdrive to bring order to the crowd. They had to deploy more staff.
¡°Behave.¡± Pei Zhen felt quite bad, gesturing to his fans to calm down. ¡°Don¡¯t push. It wouldn¡¯t be good if someone got injured.¡±
Indeed the influence of a popr celebrity was great. The fans onsite really did calm down somewhat. The security gave him a look of appreciation. If it weren¡¯t for Xiao Nian pulling back Pei Zhen in time, Pei Zhen would have continued to coax his fans, and it would have gone on forever.
¡°No need to thank me. I¡¯m a member of the young Pioneers!¡±
Fu Sichen and Pei Zhen arrived one after the other.
Fu Sichen had a business meeting and got to the event just on the dot.
It wasn¡¯t clear if it was intentional on the organizer¡¯s par; they had ced a female celebrity right between the two men. However, the pressure became a little too great to bear when the two male idols kept looking at each other. She finally couldn¡¯t take it.
¡°B-Best Actor Fu.¡± The event was starting in two minutes, and it was the time that the reporters were all on the alert. But the female celebrity couldn¡¯t care less, and stammered a little as she said to Fu Sichen, ¡°I¡ may I change seats with you?¡±
Fu Sichen very quickly replied, ¡°Of course.¡±
He stood up readily and gestured her towards his seat, waited for her to get up, and then he sat down in her seat.
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Fu Sichen was expressionless but spoke firmly, ¡°If you wish to make a movie in the future you can look me up.¡±
The female celebrity was awed and touched by the honor. ¡°Oh! Thank you! Thank you!¡± That was like pizza falling from the sky.
¡°Not a problem,¡± Pei Zhen said, smiling, ¡°We should help each other out, after all, we¡¯re all in the entertainment circle.¡±
No way, the female celebrity thought. She knew only too well what it was like. How many people would try to bootlick their way into Fu Sichen¡¯s favor and never have a chance? The entertainment circle was never a ce where people would help each other!
How many people would¡¯ve lusted for the seat between the two male idols? To be honest, she too only managed to secure it through special means.
The female celebrity who received the promise was a little emotional and couldn¡¯t contain her happiness. She wanted to strike up a conversation, but as far as Fu Sichen was concerned, that wasn¡¯t part of the deal. After he had done his niceties, he turned to focus on his young boyfriend.
Under the watch of a countless number of cameras, Fu Sichen didn¡¯t care to restrain his loving attention.
Holding his young boyfriend¡¯s hand and with his body nted to face his young boyfriend, the two whispered to each other lovingly. Then, as though tickled by a secret that they were sharing, the two started tough unanimously.
It was way too sweet!
Obviously, there were other people seated in the same row, but for some reason, the two men had the uncanny ability to set themselves apart from the rest of the people. It was as though there were only two of them in the universe.

Dong Hai City¡¯s Film Awards was worth its weight in gold.
The event was growing bigger every year, and that year they had even selected the ssiest five-star hotel in Dong Hai City to host the event.
After the opening, the event host announced the start of the Awards ceremony.
From the Best Feature Film to the Best Actor¡ªit was a psychological process. The nervousness, the hope, the difort¡ when the Awards ceremony started, Pei Zhen started to feel fric.
He lost his cool somewhat.
Being the skilled actor that he was, there was an expression of nonchnce on his face. The fact was that every muscle in his body was stiff, and his mind drew a nk.
He had never been more nervous.
In the past three years, he had always been selfposed. Apart from his desire to defeat Fu Sichen, he had no interest in being Best Actor.
¡°This year is an amazing year. There are two male nominees from the same film vying for the Best Actor Award.¡±
¡°When you put it like this, there¡¯s no more suspense. Everyone knows which film it is and who the two artistes are.¡±
They hade to the Best Male Lead award, and the more the tension built up, the more the host on the stage yed the crowd. Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t hold his frozen smile any longer and felt like charging up onto the stage to hit the host.
¡°Nervous?¡± Fu Sichen could easily sense his young boyfriend¡¯s emotions. His voice was hoarse and like a gentle breeze in Spring, melting away all anxiety. ¡°Pei Pei, do you know why I vie for the Best Actor award year after year?¡±
He continued, ¡°It¡¯s because of you. Regardless of whether it¡¯s just to get your attention or topete with you. Pei Pei, no other person in the world loves acting more than you do.¡±
Aszy of a person as Pei Zhen was, when he stood before the camera hepletely transformed. His eyes would sparkle, and his body woulde alive with energy. Even Fu Sichen didn¡¯t think he had that sort of passion himself.
Pei Zhen froze and felt his throat tightening. ¡°You¡¡±
Fu Sichen smiled, his gaze filled with tenderness. ¡°Pei Pei, can you call me ¡®Big Brother¡¯ once more, just like when we were young.¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s heart was pounding rapidly, and he had no idea why. At that moment, he actually felt like crying.
Looking into Fu Sichen¡¯s eyes, he suddenly understood something that Fu Sichen had said previously.
¡°Pei Zhen, you will never know how long I¡¯ve loved you for.¡±
That feeling was strong, passionate, and burning like fire.
Pei Zhen opened his mouth. ¡°Big Brother¡¡±
¡°Pei Pei, you¡¯re so great.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, you¡¯re the best.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, you¡¯re your big brother¡¯s¡¡±
The voice of the host drowned thest few words, but Pei Zhen could read his lips and understood.
Pei Pei, you¡¯re your Big Brother¡¯s favorite.
With that, Pei Zhen could no longer hold back his tears, and they started to trail down his cheeks.
¡°This year¡¯s Best Male Lead Award winner goes to the male lead of The Scam¡ªPei Zhen!¡±
The host¡¯s voice reverberated among the thunderous apuse, and all the cameras were pointing straight at Pei Zhen. The people seated around him were heartily congratting him.
Pei Zhen¡¯s mind was still a nk, there was noise all around him, like the hissing of the waves. But amazingly, he could hear every word that Fu Sichen spoke clearly and sharply.
¡°Go up to the stage, my dear, tell the world that the new Best Actor has arrived.¡±
From that moment on, Pei Zhen would be his pride, and he would no longer need to worry about out-shining Pei Zhen.
Because he knew, that the Little Brat Pei would be his from then on¡
The young and inexperienced adorable youth in Fu Sichen¡¯s memory was now full of mettle and was walking onto the stage one step at a time. The spotlights trained on him the entire way. Indeed he was the eternal focus and star, sparkling brightly!
¡°Of course the Best Actor position is mine.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure Mr. Fu must have manipted the results in thest three years.¡±
¡°But still, I have to apologize for the past few years. Fu Sichen, in thest few years the person that Pei Zhen hated most in his life was you. But from today onwards, you can be proud of me.¡±
¡°The person that Pei Zhen likes most in his life is Fu Sichen.¡±
Looking into each other¡¯s eyes, the moment was an eternity for them.
And all of that was well as it should be¡

The night that Pei Zhen received the Best Actor Award, he and Fu Sichen headed straight home to the serviced apartment.
Fu Sichen had ordered room service, and fine cuisine was quickly served up. The serviced apartment was a luxurious one, and naturally, a candlelight dinner was the way to go.
Pei Zhen had already seated himself at the table, resting his chin on one hand and looking at Fu Sichenzily.
Fu Sichen presented a red wine from his collection.
Romanee-Conti.
Pei Zhen had only a vague knowledge of wines, but he could tell that Fu Sichen was holding a bottle that was a product of the Romanee-Conti winery that would have cost at least a hundred thousand dors.
¡°Are¡ are we really drinking this?¡± Seeing how Fu Sichen was holding the precious bottle, Pei Zhen could feel its value. ¡°It¡¯s not an important asion¡¡±
Of course, it was a joyous asion to have received the Best Male Lead award, but the only meaning that it held for Pei Zhen was the opportunity to prove that he was on par with Fu Sichen.
And really, there was no need to prove it. No matter if the rest of the world perceived that he was the eternal loser, he had never undervalued himself. He always had the confidence that he was an excellent human being.
The only reason that the excellent human being cared whether he clinched the Best Actor position or not, was because of the spontaneous bet.
¡°It¡¯s important.¡± The full-bodied aroma of the wine drifted out of the opened bottle, as intoxicating as Fu Sichen¡¯s voice. ¡°After all, from today onwards, I¡¯m Pei Zhen¡¯s favorite person.¡±
Pei Zhen stared nkly for a while and realized Fu Sichen was talking about the Awards ceremony. Overflowing with emotions, he smiled. In the shadows cast by the dim candlelight, that smile was bewitching.
Fu Sichen was stunned just looking at Pei Zhen.
He felt a burning desire in his body, and it dried his throat.
He coughed lightly, and quickly put on an air of nonchnce as he took a sip of wine.
In his hurry to down the sip of wine, he choked and started to cough quite violently, losing all control. ¡°Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Pei Zhen sprang up from his seat and patted Fu Sichen on his back. He identally knocked over the wine ss, spraying red wine all over.
That was it, the wine that cost ten thousand dors a sip was gone, just like that.
¡°Cough, cough. I¡¯m okay.¡± Fu Sichen didn¡¯t care much about the spilled wine and reached out for Pei Zhen¡¯s hand subconsciously. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
It would have been quite embarrassing to say aloud that he was more worried about the wine!
Apart from the little incident at the beginning, the candlelight dinner went on smoothly. Swirling the wine in his wine ss, Pei Zhen was meditating on his own objectives.
He didn¡¯t drink much.
After he got drunk thest time, the arrogant and egoistic Daddy Pei developed some shame, and no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t allow himself to get drunk into a stupor.
It was too damaging to his image!
¡°Pei Pei¡¡± Once again, their eyes met. Pei Zhen was smiling, and Fu Sichen¡¯s attention started to sway. He put down his cutlery and in a graceful motion dabbed at his mouth with the napkin. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
Pei Zhen blinked and put his wine ss down, reaching out to Fu Sichen with his other hand. ¡°I¡¯m looking at the man I¡¯m going to top tonight.¡±
Fu Sichenughed gently.
And then he almost started another coughing fit.
That¡¯s right.
Before the Film Awards, they had indeed ced a bet. Fu Sichen didn¡¯t think that Pei Zhen would really follow up with his request to be the top party.
¡°Cough cough.¡± Fu Sichen cleared his throat, quickly suppressing his surprise. With a flip of his hand, he held Pei Zhen¡¯s arm lightly and smiled. ¡°Therefore, you¡¯re seducing me?¡±
Pei Zhen unbuttoned his jacket with one hand, and with the other, he grabbed Fu Sichen¡¯s cor and drew the man close.
¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m seducing you. Are you falling for it?¡±
A rtionship between two men wasn¡¯t exactly the most perplexing andplicated thing. Pei Zhen had no wish to be too argumentative. He wanted what he wanted and forget about holding back anymore.
Their lips met, with Pei Zhen biting and gnawing with little technique. But it was exactly his inexperienced and raw kissing that drove Fu Sichen out of control, pushing him to the brink of sanity.
With a pull, he hauled Pei Zhen into his own embrace. Tightening his grip around the young boyfriend, he felt a powerful urge to draw Pei Zhen into him until they were one.
As the kissing got more passionate and intense, Fu Sichen began to move his lips downwards. He parted his mouth over his young boyfriend¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple and with one hand started to undo Pei Zhen¡¯s suit. ¡°You look¡ exceptionally stunning today¡¡±
Pei Zhen¡¯s face was burning. His breathing irregr and heavy, he spoke in interrupted sentences, ¡°I dressed up especially for you, do you like it?¡±
¡°Yes, I do.¡± His lips left Pei Zhen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple and worked their way up to find Pei Zhen¡¯s ear, biting down on it. ¡°I¡¯ve wanted you since the Awards ceremony started.¡±
He was obviously a gentleman, but the way he spoke was dirty in bed! But even then, it was unbelievably seductive and provocative. It made one¡¯s heart pound and caused them to turn red in the face, leaving them utterly defeated and unable to retaliate.
¡°Damn it!¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s handsome face was red. There was a hint of shyness, but most of all, he didn¡¯t want to be outdone. ¡°We agreed, I¡¯m the top party tonight.¡±
¡°Fine, fine, fine,¡± Pushing Pei Zhen onto the sofa, Fu Sichen started to remove his tie with one hand, ¡°I admit defeat, I¡¯ll be the bottom party tonight.¡±
Pei Zhen was a little nervous, but also excited. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve done my research on what to do.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, you¡¯re clever,¡± Fu Sichen said.
Having praised his young boyfriend for being clever, Fu Sichen eventually still topped Pei Zhen!
If the young boyfriend wanted to be on top, then fine, he would be on top. Without even changing position all night, he made his young boyfriend curse and swear.
¡°Fu Sichen! You bastard!¡±
¡°Fu Sichen! You said you¡¯d admit defeat!¡±
¡°Fu Sichen! You son of a¡ I¡ I can¡¯t take this anymore¡¡±
The shameless Fu Sichen! He had managed to ¡®top¡¯ Pei Zhen from the bottom position!
True to what Xiao Nian had predicted, the stunningly dressed Pei Zhen had driven the Big Boss Fu to unleash his raw instinct. From the sofa to the ground, and then to the bedroom, even the bathroom wasn¡¯t spared.
By the time they finished, it was morning, and the skies were gradually lightening up.
¡°You¡¯re too tired.¡± Fu Sichen, who was well-fed the night before, was full of mettle as he cleaned Pei Zhen¡¯s hand with a hot towel. ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯ll get Xiao Nian to cancel today¡¯s assignments.¡±
Pei Zhen waspletely exhausted, and could only stare angrily at Fu Sichen with widened eyes. Looking on as Fu Sichen was about to kiss his hand, he used whatever energy he had left to curl four of his fingers, leaving his middle one up.
Fu Sichenughed gently.
Alright, alright, the little deity was throwing a tantrum again. God knew how many times he came that night.
Pei Zhen was totally knocked out and slept till the afternoon of the following day.
He awoke to find that his whole body was in pain as though his entire frame had fallen apart.
The result of an over-indulgence in debauchery was naturally an extremely painful rear. Pei Zhen was so furious that he grabbed his mobile phone to type out an angry message to send to Fu Sichen.
[You stinker! F*** you, old man!]
The stinker replied almost immediately: [F***, f***, f***, the old man is thirsting for it right now.]
Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.
Damn it!
Communicating with Fu Sichen had be impossible. The man was shameless and associated every word with his dirty thoughts.
Although Pei Zhen cursed and swore at Fu Sichen, he sent the text: [Where are you?! Ran off after licking the te clean? Your Daddy is hungry!]
Right after receiving this message, Fu Sichen immediately called his young boyfriend. Thetter must have gone to the mall. Pei Zhen could hear announcements of promotions and discounts in the background. ¡°Are you missing me? I¡¯m just buying a few things. I¡¯ll be back very soon.¡±
Pei Zhen sniffed, still feeling a little grieved. ¡°I want seafood.¡±
¡°Pei Pei, you can¡¯t be eating heavy meat dishes now¡¡±
¡°Not only do I want seafood, but I want it extra spicey!¡±
¡°Darling¡¡± Fu Sichen was almost pleading with him now.
¡°It¡¯s useless even if you were to call me little deity!¡±
Pei Zhen was not bothered by people seeing him as an arrogant, spoiled brat. He treated that as ying coquetry. After spilling the angry words, Pei Zhen hung up the phone. He just had to let it out, and after he did, he felt much better. Especially when the next moment Fu Sichen¡¯s apology message came in, making the Little Brat Pei very pleased with himself.
Serves you right for going back on your word!
Pei Zhen couldn¡¯t go back to sleep after waking up, despite feeling a little under the weather. By the time Fu Sichen returned home, he was ying on the mobile phone, looking very bored.
The hot search headlines on Weibo were mostly focused on the Awards ceremony the night before. Pei Zhen initially forwarded the Weibo from the organizer, and that slowly picked up momentum for viewership.
The headline, as expected, was news about him getting the Best Actor Award.
Pei Zhen raised an eyebrow. He was, in a way quite proud of himself and basked in the memory of that glory for a moment. However, when he clicked on the headline and read the content, he got angry!
[Having lost out for three years, Pei Zhen finally has his wish fulfilled. Even though chic and elegant as always, Daddy Pei shed tears all the same!]
To show that Pei Zhen really did cry tears of joy, the report even carried a series of pictures, all of which showed Pei Zhen in tears.
Crap! Pei Zhen thought, his crying had nothing to do with getting the Award!!!
The pictures and article were too misleading, and as expected, most of theizens postedforting and supportivements.
¡°Reality has proven, perseverance will bring about sess!¡±
¡°Pei Zhen worked really hard, and it¡¯s not easy! Finally, he¡¯s Best Actor!¡±
¡°It¡¯spletely understandable that Pei Zhen was crying. If it were me, having lost out for three years, I wouldn¡¯t even have the courage to turn up at the event.¡±
Pei Zhen was livid.
His heart felt constant pain. He even suspected whether Fu Sichen had hidden intentions, purposefully making those touching derations so that he¡¯d cry.
Tsk.
Pei Zhen wondered if he should post a rification on Weibo, but decided not to in the end.
Forget it. Fu Sichen¡¯s confession was for his own eyes only, and he didn¡¯t want to share it with the rest of the world.
Pei Zhen didn¡¯t want to feel like reading Weibo anymore. He switched to another App and clicked into a video.
Unlike in the past when he¡¯d watch himself in movies, now he¡¯d watch Fu Sichen.
His boyfriend was truly breathtaking.
His effortless presence and natural loftiness made people sit up and notice him.
¡°Bring your Residence Permit along; we¡¯re going to the Municipal Government Bureau.¡±
¡°I¡¯m willing to buy the rings as a token of our love for each other.¡±
¡°We¡¯re getting married. Of course, I hope that you¡¯ll enter into my Household Register.¡±
It was a movie about an overbearing CEO, and the script wasme to the point of embarrassing. However Fu Sichen¡¯s superb acting and delivery of theme script saved the movie.
Pei Zhen totally ignored the female lead in the movie. His eyes were on Fu Sichen only, and the storyline wasn¡¯t even apparent to him. Not that it mattered, the most important thing was that he had an inspiration watching the overbearing CEO!
Rings!
That¡¯s right. The boyfriend¡¯s birthday was just around the corner, and he could get a ring for Fu Sichen as a love token!
Fu Sichen¡¯s birthday was on the 1st of January.
Even his birthdate was in line with his dominant nature of being the top party.
Birthdays were never really special asions to Fu Sichen, but that year was different since he had a boyfriend.
His young boyfriend was more excited than him and behaved in a most secretive manner. Fu Sichen wondered what Pei Zhen was up to.
¡°You don¡¯t have to give me a present,¡± Fu Sichen said very sincerely, ¡°Just wrap yourself up and gift yourself to me.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll certainly give a present! And I¡¯m an additional one!¡±
Fu Sichen said nothing.
He was, in fact, a little worried.
Mainly because Fu Sichen had experienced Aunty Pei¡¯s sense of aesthetics, and it was a concern to him that the trait of hers was hereditary.
Hence, when he found out that the young boyfriend had reserved the whole restaurant for the asion, Fu Sichen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It was good. Even if he did anything embarrassing, only Fu Sichen would be there to see it.
On New Year¡¯s Day, all of Dong Hai City was in a celebration mood. Booking a whole restaurant on a day like that was no easy task.
Fu Sichen would naturally not disappoint Pei Zhen¡¯s great efforts.
He had worked long hours in advance to finish up early so that he could keep the date. Pei Zhen was already waiting at the restaurant by the time Fu Sichen arrived.
Pei Zhen was dressed rather formally, in a perfectly-pressed luxurious suit. He had even styled his hair, making his features stand out all the more.
¡°Here, here.¡± Pei Zhen¡¯s face was lit by a gentle and good looking smile the moment he saw Fu Sichen.
Fu Sichen wavered after seeing his love and walked over briskly.
The two men kissed as their bodies met, oblivious to the waiter present.
It was a sweet sight.
Pei Zhen carefully organized the meal. The ssy restaurant sat on the river, which had frozen over in deep winter. The rays of sunlight fell onto the icy surface, making it glisten.
The two always had a lot of talk about, which befuddled Fu Sichen, who had never been one to say much. However, when he was with Pei Zhen, he never seemed to be short of things to say.
Only, Pei Zhen seemed a little odd that night.
He appeared to be nervous, as though he was pondering over something. The nearer they were to the end of the meal, the more his eyes darted about.
Fu Sichen paused for a moment, and put down his chopsticks looking worried. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Pei Pei?¡±
Pei Zhen blinked. ¡°I¡¯m thinking of something.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°I¡¯m thinking if you¡¯d agree to marry me.¡± Pei Zhen was certainly far from being subtle, and then with a swoosh like a magician, he whipped out a delicate little box. ¡°South African diamond,pletely befitting of your status.¡±
Pei Zhen removed the lid of the container to reveal a huge diamond ring, the emphasis being a huge diamond about the size of a quail¡¯s egg.
The luxury was ostentatious to the point of¡ a newly-monied person trying to show-off wealth.
Fu Sichen waspletely stumped. ¡°Pei Pei, you¡¡±
¡°Are you touched? To be honest, even I¡¯m touched .¡± He reflected on how excellent a boyfriend he was, taking the initiative to propose and saving Fu Sichen all the trouble. Pei Zhen reached out for Fu Sichen¡¯s hand. ¡°Come, darling, let me put this on for you.¡±
The huge South African diamond ring slipped onto Fu Sichen¡¯s finger. Halfway through, it¡ Wouldn¡¯t¡ Go¡ Any¡ Further!
No matter how Pei Zhen tried to coax it, it wouldn¡¯t move!
¡°Fu Sichen,¡± said Pei Zhen, ¡°You¡¯ve put on weight!¡±
Pei Zhen bought things on instinct. In that case, he was so confident that he hadn¡¯t even tried the ring size on his own finger!
Who cared about measuring, of course it¡¯d fit Fu Sichen!
Although confidence wasn¡¯tcking, the oue left much to be desired.
Fu Sichenughed coldly and withdrew his hand mercilessly. ¡°It shows that you¡¯re not good at proposing.¡±
What? Pei Zhen fumed. What was that?!
Not knowing what Fu Sichen had in mind, Pei Zhen banged the table angrily. ¡°What do you mean I¡¯m not good at it. Fu Sichen, you have no desire to marry me?¡±
¡°Of course I will not marry you.¡± Fu Sichen gave a hand signal, and immediately, the waiter in tuxedo brought something over.
¡°Mr. Fu.¡±
It was two air tickets, respectfully handed over to Fu Sichen. Fu Sichen took them and slid one of the tickets across the tabletop to Pei Zhen.
¡°Tomorrow in The Nethends. An official wedding ceremony. I¡¯mcking a groom. Would you do the honors?¡±
Pei Zhen was bbergasted. ¡°You¡¡±
Pei Zhen felt his throat tighten, and his heart was pounding. He felt all his blood rush upwards into his head.
¡°I¡¯m not going. The engagement ring doesn¡¯t even fit.¡±
Fu Sichen had a pair of rings too, in his coat pocket, only, they were far more tasteful than the one Pei Zhen picked.
tinum rings designed by Fu Sichen himself, embodying his love for the man before him.
It came as a shock to Pei Zhen, and he was stammering, ¡°Y-you rascal¡ I-I don¡¯t care. I was the one who proposed. You¡ this¡ this is an act of rebellion on your part. A conspiracy!
¡°Be quiet. Give me your hand.¡±
There was no way Pei Zhen could stop Fu Sichen when thetter decided to be overbearing. The moment his boyfriend looked stern and his voice turned icy, Pei Zhen relented, as if possessed.
And the ring slipped in.
It fit like a glove.
That¡¯s the end, Pei Zhen thought. Now he was trapped.
True enough, his childhood buddy boyfriend broke into a resplendent but firm smile.
¡°Pei Zhen, don¡¯t you even think of running away from me this lifetime,¡± Fu Sichen said.
Chapter 232 - Additional Chapter 2
Chapter 232: Additional Chapter 2
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Xiao Nian, male, one of Dong Hai City¡¯s most reputed champion managers. Now the artiste under him has finally scored the Best Male Lead Award after losing out for three consecutive years.
That was a wish fulfilled for Xiao Nian, and he had one more thing off his mind.
After the Awards ceremony that night, Pei Zhen was whisked away by Fu Sichen, leaving the bachelor Xiao Nian withoutpany and lonely. Having received a re from the Big Boss, he hadn¡¯t dared to make any small talk orin, he could only put on a big smile.
¡°Big Boss Fu, it¡¯s been a long day for you. Big Boss Fu, take care.¡±
As Big Boss Fu and Pei Zhen drove away, he could finally let his enthusiasm go to rest.
It was a freezing December, especially at night. It was the sort of cold that seeped into one¡¯s bones.
¡°Brother, want to go for a drink?¡± Seeing as it were that Pei Zhen was so stunning tonight, Xiao Nian figured that there was no chance his artiste would make it to work the next day. He was hoping to findpany for a drink to warm him up in this freezing weather. ¡°I¡¯ll buy you.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Wang Youquan stopped for a moment when he realized Xiao Nian was calling out to him. With an embarrassed smile, he said, ¡°Sorry, I have an appointment tonight.¡±
¡°What?¡± Was he yet another one who had secretly gotten hitched when he wasn¡¯t paying attention?
Now whenever Xiao Nian thought about the reassurance that he had given the Director previously, his face would burn.
Pei Zhen was the one with a boyfriend and he, Xiao Nian, was the unmarried man left on the shelf!
¡°No¡ nothing.¡± Wang Youquan stammered, looking quite furtive. ¡°Well¡ it¡¯s¡ I¡¯ve got some work to finish¡¡±
¡°Wang Youquan.¡± Before Wang Youquan could finish what he was saying, a strong and clear voice came from behind. It sounded familiar.
Xiao Nian turned around and found himself looking straight at a woman.
The woman sported a tidy, short haircut and had an air of decisiveness about her. One look and it was obvious she was the boss. However, when she came face-to-face with Wang Youquan, her expression became unexpectedly bashful.
Xiao Nian knew her through the numerous mentions by Wang Youquan¡ªshe was his counterpart, Mrs. Flower.
Well, well, he didn¡¯t think that these two would eventually get involved with each other.
Xiao Nian almost did a wolf-whistle, while Wang Youquan had turned a bright red being subject to Xiao Nian¡¯s mocking looks. Still, Wang Youquan gave a sheepishugh and walked towards Mrs. Flower.
Out of courtesy, Xiao Nian and Mrs. Flower bantered briefly, Mrs. Flower even politely extended an invitation to Xiao Nian. No matter what, Xiao Nian was an excellent social butterfly, and very tactfully, he declined her invitation.
Keeping his smile throughout, Xiao Nian saw the pair off. By the time they drove away, his face was fatigued from holding the smile. He gave his face a few quick pats and decided to give up on looking forpany. He went to the convenience store to buy a couple of bottles, then went home all alone.
Pei Zhen had always been good to Xiao Nian and had never short-changed him pay-wise. At the very least, with that year¡¯s year-end bonus, he had enough money to buy a big house in Dong Hai City.
Currently living in a rented room, Xiao Nian was in the process of house-hunting.
The small district was quiet as it was past midnight, but as he neared his home, Xiao Nian heard a ruckus.
There was a van parked downstairs, and men in uniform going in and out of the building. On a closer look, he realized they were movers.
Moving? In the middle of the night?
Xiao Nian was astounded and silently prayed that the new neighbor wasn¡¯t going to be on the same floor as himself.
Man, they were noisy.
All he wanted to do was to take a shower, have a drink, and go to bed.
¡°Aye, please wait up.¡± The workers rushed into the lift just as the lift door was about to shut. ¡°Sorry, please excuse us.¡±
Xiao Nian nodded and didn¡¯t make things difficult for them. After all, like himself, they were employees and just doing their job. As the lift made its way up, Xiao Nian realized that they hadn¡¯t pushed a lift button.
¡°Which floor are you going to?¡±
The workers peered through the stuff they were holding at the lift panel and smiled. ¡°Oh, same as you. How coincidental.¡±
Xiao Nian was stumped.
Damn it, he thought, the nightmare bes reality.
But he wasn¡¯t a pushover. If his neighbor really went too far, he¡¯d not be afraid to confront them!
As the lift arrived on their floor and the door opened setting off the chime, Xiao Nian stepped aside to let the workers out. Immediately, he heard a man¡¯s voice. ¡°Is that all there is?¡±
¡°Yes, Mr. Ji.¡±
¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±
Mr. Ji had a rather pleasant voice, and there was even a familiar ring to it. Out of curiosity, Xiao Nian turned to look at his new neighbor, but the big boxes that the workers were carrying obscured his view.
He only managed to catch a glimpse of the person¡¯s back.
The man was tall and slim and held himself upright. He looked around 185 centimeters. Dressed casually, he lifted a hand to push back a tuft of fine hair, exposing the watch on his wrist.
It was a Patek Philippe.
One could probably purchase an apartment in Dong Hai City for the price of that watch.
Well, a local rich man.
After he had recovered from the surprise, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but wonder if the watch was an imitation.
It seemed like a joke that the rich bloke would choose to live in such a little district. Although the area wasn¡¯t too bad, Xiao Nian felt that it didn¡¯t seem to quite match up to this man¡¯s apparent status.
Not thinking very much more about it, Xiao Nian turned and walked towards his own apartment.
Xiao Nian lived alone.
The apartment was quite spacious and well-equipped. Unlike many men, Xiao Nian kept his space very clean and tidy.
Putting the bottles down on the coffee table, Xiao Nian proceeded to take a shower.
Initially, he thought that it would be a sleepless night, given the noise. Fortunately, the new neighbor was kind and mindful enough that by the time Xiao Nian was out from the shower, the noise from next door had ceased.
Xiao Nian was d.
Sitting on the floor cross-legged and drying his hair, Xiao Nian opened a bottle of wine and checked his mobile phone. As expected, there was news from the Big Boss.
[Do not schedule any assignments for Pei Zhen these few days]
Without even a punctuation mark, it seemed that the message was typed out in a hurry.
Xiao Nian chuckled mischievously and sent off a ¡°yes-sir¡± emoticon.
Having settled all work matters, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t control his urge to log into the online game.
Given, Xiao Nian had a pair of good-looking hands, but they weren¡¯t all that great with the online game.
Subconsciously, Xiao Nian had found his online gaming partner, and there was no need for any courtesy banter. As usual, with just a few quick exchanges, they updated each other.
¡°My Daddy finally achieved his dream of bing Best Actor!¡±
¡°Best Actor? You¡¯re not talking about Pei Zhen are you?¡± Xiao Nian¡¯s ¡®wife¡¯ immediately replied, ¡°Hahaha, Hubby, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re his manager?¡±
Xiao Nian raised an eyebrow. ¡°You don¡¯t believe it?¡±
¡°Okay, I do, I do, I do.¡± The wife posted a series of kisses, trying to convince Xiao Nian that she believed him, but somehow it sounded half-hearted.
Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t angry though. In fact, it was better that she had doubts.
The two went back and forth for a bit, controlling the characters in the game and putting their affections aside. After a while, the wife sent a message to say that she wanted a rest.
¡°Hubby, I just moved today, and I¡¯m tired. Let¡¯s continue tomorrow. Muacks.¡±
Xiao Nian was surprised. ¡°Moved?¡±
¡°Yes, Hubby¡ aren¡¯t you working these few days?¡±
Wondering why she was asking such a question, Xiao Nian answered, ¡°I¡¯m probably resting for the next two or three days.¡±
Unlike in the past, when she would send text messages, now the wife just sent through a voice message. Xiao Nian stared nkly for a moment, and then quickly clicked on the message.
¡°That¡¯s great. Then I can meet you online more often these few days.¡±
What a gentle voice.
It was sweet and soothing.
More importantly, it was unmistakably female.
Immediately, Xiao Nian was happy¡ hahaha, she was really female, and not some gruff man!
Thinking back, Xiao Nian had been ying the online game with the person for more than half a year. The two practically chatted about everything under the sun, hence no matter what, Xiao Nian would have developed at least some affection for her.
Previously, Pei Zhen had warned him that the other party might be a man pretending to be a woman, and this had caused Xiao Nian to worry somewhat.
Despite the worry, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t bring himself to investigate for no reason. And because of that, Xiao Nian had been in a conundrum, not daring to take the rtionship any further.
But knowing that his gaming partner was indeed female, it was a different story altogether.
¡°Okay, okay, hurry up and go to bed then, goodnight.¡±
Xiao Nian sent across a series of kisses and even bought a few sets of outfits to gift her after she had gone offline.
The system prompted that their gaming rtionship index had surpassed 99% of all the gamers¡¯, and their rtionship was as good as gold. Some of the other gamers rolled their eyes, feeling that the yers with unconventional avatar names must be spies appointed by the gamingpany.
And it was probably for the sake of motivating the gamers¡¯ urgency to top up their points.
After sending the gifts, Xiao Nian logged off too. Since he didn¡¯t have to work, he took the opportunity to sleep till Noon and was actually woken up by a pounding sounding from his neighbor.
It was the sound of drumming.
And it was loud.
Xiao Nian impatiently pulled the nket over his head but, of course, that did nothing to block off the noise.
The drumming didn¡¯t sound awful, but it was disturbing Xiao Nian¡¯s peace, and that annoyed him greatly.
Damn it!
After five minutes of that, Xiao Nian was still unable to fall asleep, and in addition, he was hungry.
Muttering profanities under his breath, Xiao Nian realized that he couldn¡¯t lie in bed anymore. He threw off his nket and walked out, shuffling along in his bedroom slippers.
Initially, he had wanted to go knock on his neighbor¡¯s door, but remembering how tall the neighbor was and assessing that the guy was probably stronger than himself, he retreated two steps and decided to take a broomstick with him for self-defense.
¡°Open the door!¡±
Initially, Xiao Nian was civilized and knocked on the door like a gentleman. But when the knocking went unanswered, he lost patience and started banging on the door with his fist.
Finally, the drumming stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps. Then with a click, the door opened.
The man was dressed casually still and was taller than Xiao Nian had imagined. He looked at Xiao Nian with a half-smile.
He had a handsome face.
His features were distinct, and his almond-shaped eyes were long and deep-set.
¡°You¡¡± On seeing the man, Xiao Nian was surprised and almost dropped his broomstick. ¡°Why, it¡¯s you¡¡±
¡°What a coincidence.¡± The man looked down and saw that Xiao Nian was holding the broomstick. He couldn¡¯t help smiling. ¡°Why are you carrying a broomstick? Are you offering to clean up my apartment?¡±
¡°Scram.¡± The mention of the broom reminded Xiao Nian of his mission. He peered into the apartment, and sure enough, he spotted the drum frame.
¡°You are so free as to y on the drums first thing in the morning?¡±
¡°It¡¯s already Noon,¡± The man ran a hand through his hair and replied to Xiao Nian, ¡°Did I disturb you? I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t know you were still asleep at this time.¡±
As he talked, the man reached out and touched Xiao Nian¡¯s hair as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do. Xiao Nian jumped at the touch and widened his eyes. Nervously, he took a step backward.
¡°What do you think you¡¯re doing?¡±
¡°It was out of ce.¡± The man said without changing his expression, and it was as if he didn¡¯t feel that he had crossed any boundary. ¡°Your hair is very soft.¡±
Xiao Nian was stumped.
Already having to deal with a gay couple in his life, Xiao Nian felt that this man too, was giving off gay vibes and it made him nervous. He chided the man for being insane.
The man continued to smile and didn¡¯t seem angry. Suddenly he asked, ¡°Can you cook?¡±
¡°Yes¡¡± Xiao Nian answered. Of course, he had to know how to cook, having to look after thezy Pei Zhen. But what had that got to do with the man and why was he asking such a question?
¡°Fate has it that we meet again¡ªand you¡¯ve even seen my birdie.¡± The man looked over Xiao Nian¡¯s shoulder towards the corridor. ¡°You¡¯re staying next door? To celebrate this coincidence, can I have a meal at your ce?¡±
Xiao Nian wanted him to scram.
What, seen his birdie? It wasn¡¯t as if he asked to see it!
That¡¯s right, he was the man Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian ran into at the littlene, when they were trying to get to Fu Sichen on their yellow rented bicycles.
While Xiao Nian didn¡¯t remember the man¡¯s name, he did remember he had the surname Ji.
Xiao Nian was annoyed. Although they were men and it was really nothing to see another man naked, the Li guy made it seem as though Xiao Nian owed him. It was this attitude that Xiao Nian found irritating.
¡°Are you still angry?¡± The man seemed to have an idea what Xiao Nian was angry over, and smiled again. ¡°Alright, I was just kidding thest time. You can look, even if you want to watch me naked in the future, feel free.¡±
¡°Who the hell wants to look.¡± Xiao Nian was amazed at this man¡¯s audacity and was tempted to give him the middle finger. Not wishing to stay a second longer, Xiao Nian turned and started to walk back to his own apartment. ¡°Damn it, what sort of ill-fate is this.¡±
If only the new neighbor was his ¡®wife¡¯, it would¡¯ve been perfect. But s, it had to be such a dreadful man.
Giant pig¡¯s hoof!
¡°Hey.¡± seeing that Xiao Nian was leaving, the man quickly followed, he even sounded a little grieved. ¡°Are you not even going to try being friends, given that we¡¯re fated to run into each other? Besides, I even lent you and your manager my motorbike.¡±
¡°Oh, thank you then.¡± Xiao Nian already had his hand on the doorknob, and his reply was quite icy. ¡°No need to be friends. Just remember not to disturb me, we can be good neighbors to each other.
¡°Okay, I apologize for the drumming.¡± Seeing that Xiao Nian was about to shut the door after he got in, the man took a step forward and reached out with a hand to stop the door. ¡°In that case let¡¯s start from being neighbors. Neighbor, will you cook for me, just as a gesture of hospitality and wee?¡±
Xiao Nian was quite sure the man was aplete looney.
Not able to contain his annoyance any further, Xiao Nian stuck out his middle finger at the man, hoping that he¡¯d get the hint and leave. However, the man then used brute force and squeezed himself past the entrance and into Xiao Nian¡¯s apartment.
¡°I haven¡¯t had anything to eat sincest night; I didn¡¯t have breakfast this morning, and it¡¯s past Noon now.¡±
He looked quite pitiful.
How could a grown man put on such a pitiful look, Xiao Nian failed to understand. It really didn¡¯t go with his good looks.
¡°Takeout.¡± Xiao Nian ripped off the advertising flyer stuck on the back of his door, and shoved it at the man, mercilessly expressing his desire for the man to go away. ¡°Move your precious fingers and call for takeout. They¡¯ll deliver it in under half an hour.
¡°No way. I want home-cooked food.¡±
What the hell?
Xiao Nian found it unbelievable¡ªit was only the second time he¡¯d ever seen the man. Even when they returned the motorbike, it was the assistant who did it. How shameless could the man get, to dare ask for a meal?
¡°Just to re-introduce myself, my name is Ji Yuanqi.¡± Obviously afraid of being asked to go, the handsome man removed his shoes and entered the apartment. ¡°You can call me Yuanqi.¡±
Ji Yuanqi¡
The name rang a familiar bell, but at that moment, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t recall where he¡¯d heard it.
In addition, Xiao Nian was irritated by how Ji Yuanqi was making himself at home. It would have been insanity to address Ji Yuanqi on such familiar terms to further encourage his behavior.
Ji Yuanqi was really quite shameless, and Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t able to shoo him away. Besides, the moment Xiao Nian shamed him, he¡¯d put on a pitiful look. ¡°Do a good deed every day, and just treat it as though you¡¯re rescuing a beautiful youth.¡±
Beautiful youth¡?
What utter rubbish!
Although the man was quite young, Xiao Nian was willing to bet his life that he was at least 23 or 24.
How would anyone over the age of 18 still qualify as a youth?!
¡°Just one meal.¡± Ji Yuanqi wore branded clothes, and it didn¡¯t really look like he was out to fleece anyone. Anyway, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t feel that he had much to lose. ¡°For the sake of the help you rendered Pei Zhen and me previously.¡±
¡°Fine, fine.¡± The moment Xiao Nian cut him some ck, the pitiful expression on Ji Yuanqi¡¯s face immediately disappeared, and he walked towards the kitchen as though it was his own home. ¡°I¡¯ll be your assistant.¡±
Although Xiao Nian¡¯s culinary skills were nothing to boast about, he was able to cook a fewmon dishes.
Very quickly, Xiao Nian whipped up a few dishes and a soup, and Ji Yuanqi ate till he was satisfied. He didn¡¯t stop praising Xiao Nian¡¯s culinary skills throughout. The Fairy Girl Xiao initially tried to remain aloof, but Ji Yuanqi had such a glib tongue that he couldn¡¯t resist all the ttery.
After the meal, Ji Yuanqi cleared the table automatically without needing Xiao Nian to lift a finger. Then, he made some freshly squeezed fruit juice for Xiao Nian, using ingredients avable at home, pleasing Xiao Nian greatly.
¡°You¡¯re not working today?¡± The smart man that this Ji Yuanqi was, he had managed to turn around Xiao Nian¡¯s opinion of him within one meal. Then, he sat down and turned on the television, switching to Xiao Nian¡¯s favorite shows. ¡°Congrattions, now you¡¯re the manager of the Best Actor.¡±
Xiao Nian didn¡¯t notice anything strange. He drank the fruit juice and shut his eyes in contentment. ¡°I¡¯m just lucky.¡±
¡°Says who? Obviously, it¡¯s because you¡¯re smart.¡±
Ji Yuanqi had a glib tongue indeed and knew exactly what to say to tter people. Xiao Nian waved his hand humbly and couldn¡¯t help but look pleased. His eyes were sparkling with delight.
Having lifted Xiao Nian onto a pedestal, when Ji Yuanqi next put on a pitiful expression, saying that he¡¯d like toe over for a meal the next day too, Xiao Nian waved his hand generously.
¡°Come over for a meal then! I¡¯m an excellent cook!¡±
Ji Yuanqi smiled and said, ¡°Yes, for sure.¡±
The grown man gave Xiao Nian a pleasing smile that was both pure and innocent.
Hence, the next day, it didn¡¯t even take till Noon. Just as daylight broke, there was an urgent knocking on Xiao Nian¡¯s door.
Xiao Nian, who had stayed up till 2 am reading, was livid to be woken up.
Stumbling along to open the door, he picked up an old Nokia phone on the way as a weapon to kill the person if he didn¡¯t have a good enough reason to be waking him at that hour!
¡°Big Brother Xiao.¡± The voice on the other side of the door sounded exceptionally good. Xiao Nian could have sworn that it even sounded like a spoiled child who was trying to please. ¡°Are you awake?¡±
Big Brother Xiao was feeling quite murderous.
His face was steely cold as he opened the door.
When Big Brother Xiao saw that it was the new neighbor, he immediately raised his Nokia phone in anger.
¡°Big Brother Xiao, it¡¯s dark outside.¡± The new neighbor must have gotten addicted to acting coquettishly. He threw himself at Xiao Nian, crying, ¡°Big Brother Xiao, I¡¯m scared.¡±
Xiao Nian was utterly speechless.
Crap!
He felt that he had every reason to be furious, but the tone was just too familiar. Xiao Nian stunned for a moment, and the old Nokia phone froze high in the air.
¡°It¡¯s okay; don¡¯t be scared.¡± Xiao Nian took a deep breath and felt as though he was talking to his ¡®wife¡¯ in the online game. Words offort came naturally. ¡°Big Brother is here.¡±
The shameless man in his embrace lowered his voice so that it was gentle and soothing. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, can you apany me to the market.¡±
Xiao Nian was stumped.
It was 6 am on a Winter¡¯s morning. There was a chill in the air. The moment they got downstairs, the freezing wind woke Xiao Nian.
He must have gone crazy.
He was now on his way to buy groceries at the market rather than sleep.
Xiao Nian thought that he should really turn around to head home, but before he could say a word, Ji Yuanqi grabbed his wrist and pleaded, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡±
One would think that it was aplete waste of handsome looks and impressive physique on a man who could look so pitiful!
The street was full of passersby, and olddies out for their morning exercise were throwing sidelong nces at the two men. Unlike Pei Zhen, Xiao Nian didn¡¯t have the guts, and neither was he interested, to make headlines. He quickly shook off Ji Yuanqi¡¯s hand and lowered his head. He walked ahead briskly. ¡°Just keep walking, and don¡¯t touch me.¡±
Ji Yuanqi smiled, a sparkle lit his eyes briefly before it disappeared.
There was a supermarket at the entrance to the small district. Xiao Nian, being one who cooked, was naturally adept at grocery shopping.
However, as they walked along, Xiao Nian began to notice that Ji Yuanqi kept walking into him. It just didn¡¯t feel right, and very soon, Xiao Nian¡¯s expression turned chilly.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? t-footed?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Ji Yuanqi apologized as though he was really t-footed. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, you are sharp indeed, one look and you can tell I¡¯m t-footed.¡±
Seriously, Xiao Nian thought, as if being t-footed is something to be proud of!
Xiao Nian picked up speed as he really didn¡¯t care to waste more time on the idiot. He quickly picked the needed vegetables and meat; all he wanted was to get home as soon as possible. However, Ji Yuanqi, who acted like a dreamy teenage girl, was still taking his own time selecting the groceries.
¡°I don¡¯t like parsley.¡±
¡°Scallions are gross.¡±
¡°Pork tastes horrible.¡±
¡°Then what on earth would you like to eat?!¡± Xiao Nian lost his cool.
Ji Yuanqi turned red in the face, his hand still holding on to the edge of Xiao Nian¡¯s shirt. ¡°I¡¯ll eat anything you cook.¡±
Freaking hell, thought Xiao Nian.
Finally, they bought everything they needed. Ji Yuanqi was quick to insist on helping with the load and paying for the groceries. Xiao Nian was still annoyed and only snorted in a high-and-mighty way as he looked at Ji Yuanqi to make the payment.
The sun was up by the time they left the supermarket, but it was still cold. Xiao Nian sneezed.
¡°Hurry.¡± Xiao Nian jumped on the spot twice. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±
¡°Hang on.¡± Ji Yuanqi pulled him back again by the cor, causing the cold air to enter, annoying Xiao Nian to the point that he was about to hit Ji Yuanqi. But suddenly he found a warm scarf encircled around his neck.
There was a subtle whiff of aftershaveing from it.
It smelled like Ji Yuanqi.
Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t quite sure how to react to that. His face turned red, and he quickly tried to remove the scarf. ¡°I don¡¯t need this. Home is just a few steps away¡¡±
¡°Just keep it on.¡± Ji Yuanqi was carrying the groceries in one hand, and with the other hand, he took Xiao Nian¡¯s hand and shoved it into his pocket. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of the cold.¡±
Indeed, Ji Yuanqi¡¯s hand was warm.
And so was his pocket.
Xiao Nian froze for a moment, and with a quick swish withdrew his hand from Ji Yuanqi¡¯s pocket. ¡°I¡ I¡¯m not afraid of the cold either.¡±
Despicable!
Was he being bias to assume that Ji Yuanqi was gay?
However, Ji Yuanqi himself dide across quite gay!
Fearing that Ji Yuanqi would make a further move on him, Xiao Nian stopped protesting about the scarf and shoved both hands deep into his own pockets. Then he hastened his steps towards home.
He was walking rather quickly.
Ji Yuanqi was a tall man, and although he had no problem catching up, he protested, ¡°Big Brother Xiao.¡±
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond.
¡°Big Brother Xiao.¡±
Xiao Nian continued to stride ahead.
¡°Hubby!¡±
Eat me! Xiao Nian cursed under his breath.
Homosexuality was nothing strange in the modern world, the entertainment circle had, after all, produced a gay couple in recent times. While peoplemented the degeneration of moral values, they also extended a sort of understanding.
The morning exercise crowd was increasing, and that included some young people. Initially, a few young girls were looking at the two men in an idiotic sort of way, the moment they heard Ji Yuanqi call out ¡®Hubby¡¯, they stopped in their tracks.
¡°You!¡± Xiao Nian was livid and turned around to re at Ji Yuanqi. ¡°You son of a b*****! Who permitted you to call me that!¡±
¡°You¡¯re single, and so am I.¡± Ji Yuanqi smiled radiantly. ¡°This is fate.¡±
Get out!
No matter what fate, there was no way he was going to end up with a man!
Xiao Nian chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have a wife.¡± His online wife was a gentle and agreeabledy, had a sweet voice and an alright personality.
¡°It¡¯s impossible,¡± Ji Yuanqi said with disbelief, holding two big bags of groceries and trying to catch up, ¡°You¡¯ve seen my naked birdie, I do not believe that you will be so fickle in love.¡±
¡°What the hell¡ you¡¯re a grown man. It¡¯s not like you¡¯ll lose a testicle just because someone has seen your naked birdie!¡±
¡°You¡¯ve seen mine, but I¡¯ve not seen yours. That¡¯s unfair.¡±
Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t believe his ears!
Unfair?! Is this guy looney, to care about fairness in such things?!
Xiao Nian really didn¡¯t wish to continue the conversation with Ji Yuanqi. He was muttering all sorts of profanities under his breath, as though releasing an umtion of twenty years¡¯ worth of anger.
But Ji Yuanqi wouldn¡¯t give up. Carrying a bag of groceries in each of his hands, he trotted behind Xiao Nian, persisting with his questions regarding his wife and rted details.
¡°You say you have a wife? I don¡¯t believe you.¡±
¡°Is your wife as good-looking as me, or as virtuous?
¡°Big Brother Xiao, what wife are you talking about¡ isn¡¯t it all your fantasy?¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Xiao Nian punched the lift button angrily, he really felt like strangling Ji Yuanqi. ¡°My wife is a natural beauty, and it¡¯s not for amoner like you topare yourself with her.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Ji Yuanqi shrugged. ¡°Since your wife is so great, why isn¡¯t she here apanying you?¡±
Ambiguous words.
Ji Yuanqi sounded like an intruder, a third party, seducing with his words like a snake, tongue slithering in anticipation: Look, I¡¯m the only one who has your interest at heart, I¡¯m the only one who is here for you.
Xiao Nian wanted to roll his eyes.
Granted, he thought him to be considerably good looking, but he didn¡¯t feel that Ji Yuanqi could be gay. Furthermore, it was only the second time they had met.
So how did that exin Ji Yuanqi¡¯s shameless and despicable behavior?
Suddenly, a new realization dawned on Xiao Nian as he remembered his own status. He nced at Ji Yuanqi, sizing the man up, and lightly coughed. ¡°Are you trying to get into the entertainment industry through me? It¡¯s not going to happen!¡±
Ji Yuanqi was taken aback by the new usation¡ªhe wasn¡¯t. He hadn¡¯t even revealed his own identity!
Not that Xiao Nian cared.
Thinking that he¡¯d finally uncovered the reason, Xiao Nian was immediately puffed up. He condescendingly looked at Ji Yuanqi. ¡°Did you think that all you need is a good-looking face to make it in the entertainment industry? There¡¯s nock of good-lookers in the entertainment circle; mind you.¡±
Suddenly, Ji Yuanqi¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°By saying this, does it mean that you think I¡¯m good-looking?¡±
What the dickens, thought Xiao Nian. That wasn¡¯t even the point!
¡°Don¡¯t you worry. Although I¡¯m good looking, I¡¯m absolutely loyal to my lover,¡± Ji Yuanqi said sincerely, ¡°All these years, I¡¯ve had scores of suitors, but I¡¯ve never given in.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± said Xiao Nian.
What had that got to do with him?
He was trying to show off his poprity.
Having shot Ji Yuanqi a dirty look, Xiao Nian tilted his head to look at the lift level indicator, waiting to dump Ji Yuanqi the moment the lift door opens. However, Ji Yuanqi was well-prepared, and the moment the tiny crack in the lift door appeared, he immediately squeezed himself into it.
¡°Hurry up and cook, hurry up and cook. I¡¯m so hungry.¡±
Xiao Nian was going to chide him for being a pig, but in the end, his heart softened when he saw Ji Yuanqi¡¯s pleading eyes. He turned and went into the kitchen.
Ji Yuanqi was a fussy and hard-to-please eater who didn¡¯t like this and that. He picked at things when they were shopping for groceries and continued to do so after Xiao Nianm had cooked.
He trotted over and frowned when he saw the parsley. Feeling grieved, he said, ¡°I¡¯m allergic to parsley.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± Xiao Nian¡¯s raised cutting knife came down on the chopping board, crushing the parsley, and then he threw the parsley into the wok.
¡°A¡¡± Ji Yuanqi wailed and pouted, looking very pitiful. ¡°I¡¯ll eat anything that Big Brother Xiao cooks, even if I¡¯m allergic.¡±
Xiao Nian wanted to chuckle.
But for some reason, seeing Ji Yuanqi¡¯s grieved expression, Xiao Nian eventually prepared another bowl of noodles that did not contain parsley.
¡°Thank you Big Brother Xiao.¡± the handsome man took the bowl of noodles and smiled most radiantly. ¡°I just knew it Big Brother Xiao, you¡¯re not only good-looking but also kind-hearted.¡±
Bah! Thought Xiao Nian, who had yet received another round of ttery.
Ji Yuanqi, the free-loading scum, still didn¡¯t go home after breakfast. Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t an overly polite person and tried many times to shoo Ji Yuanqi away. However, thetter was just too shameless.
What could Xiao Nian do?
Besides, Ji Yuanqi had paid for the groceries so Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t really say that the man was a freeloader.
After the meal, Xiao Nian was tired. Seeing his huge living creature in his home that couldn¡¯t be shooed away, he felt like calling the police. ¡°Get out and go home, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll look at you sleep,¡± Ji Yuanqi said like a well-behaved child.
Xiao Nian wanted to shriek. ¡°Are you nuts! Would you be able to sleep if I were looking at you?!¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Xiao Nian intended to tell him to ¡®not do to others what he wouldn¡¯t want others to do to him¡¯. Ji Yuanqi, however, felt like he received a green light; he leaped up happily, and on his own ord ran towards the bedroom. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, will you watch over me as I sleep? I¡¯m afraid to be alone.¡±
Xiao Nian was bbergasted.
He watched as Ji Yuanqi took off his shoes, then his clothes, all in a fluid sequence.
Then he got onto Xiao Nian¡¯s bed and under his nket. Seeing that Xiao Nian was looking on in bewilderment, he waved at Xiao Nian. ¡°Come on,e on.¡±
Like an old hooker from the brothel, Li Yuanqi couldn¡¯t contain his coquettish aura.
Xiao Nian was so angry that he felt as though he could throw up his innards.
Usually being one who agitated others, Xiao Nian was finally the annoyed party having to face the nuisance¡ªthanks to his new neighbor!
With his bed forcibly upied, it would be a miracle if he could take a nap. He felt like leaving the house and shutting off the shameless Li Yuanqi. Out of sight, out of mind!
Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t worried that Ji Yuanqi would steal anything since there was nothing valuable in the room; his new neighbor was just a shameless man. Given that he wore a Patek Phillipe on his wrist, he was likely a spoiled brat from a rich family.
The rich Young Master probably had an argument with his family and moved out, and using his previous kind deed of lending them his motorbike as an excuse, he was shamelessly asking for free food and drinks.
Damn it!
Xiao Nian angrily made a mental note of everything, so that he could ask forpensation from the Young Master¡¯s family one day.
After making a mental note, Xiao Nian logged into the online game. Unexpectedly, his wife was also logged in. Xiao Nian¡¯s eyes sparkled and quickly made contact so that he could confide in her.
The wife was thoughtful and gentle as always. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t be angry. Maybe that handsome man likes you.¡±
¡°No way! Your Hubby, I, am straight as a pencil. I only love you, my Wifey!¡±
The wife was silent.
She didn¡¯t reply immediately.
His wife¡
Suddenly, he was a little anxious. ¡°Wifey?¡±
Come to think of it, the two had known each other for more than half a year. Xiao Nian had also heard her voice just the day before, and it stirred his heart.
¡°Wifey, is it convenient to do a video chat? I¡ I really have no other motives¡ er, if you don¡¯t want to, it¡¯s fine.¡±
There was a brief silence. Xiao Nian¡¯s heart was pounding, wondering if he had offended her. And then the unexpected reply came, she said, ¡°Shall we meet at Zhengda za at 11 am tomorrow?¡±
Xiao Nian was stunned!
He was so happy that he almost jumped for joy!
He typed out a few kisses on the mobile and immediately replied, ¡°Yes, yes!¡±
Xiao Nian was pleased as punch, so ted that he even prepared a sumptuous lunch. When Ji Yuanqi woke up to the spread, he did the usual round of praises. Then he changed the topic and asked, ¡°What sort of women do you like?¡±
¡°As long as she is cute.¡± Xiao Nian was fantasizing already. ¡°If possible, it would be better if she had lustrous long, straight hair.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± said Ji Yuanqi.
¡°What about you?¡± Xiao Nian was now in a good mood and felt inclined to participate in polite banter. ¡°What sort of woman do you like?¡±
¡°Me?¡± Ji Yuanqi rested his chin on one hand, his gaze fixated on Xiao Nian, although he looked sluggish. ¡°I don¡¯t like women.¡±
¡°I like men,¡± he continued. ¡°Especially men like yourself.¡±
Xiao Nian was speechless.
He was stunned into silence yet again.
Xiao Nian was so unnerved that he asked Ji Yuanqi to leave before they¡¯d even finished lunch.
Xiao Nian had initially taken the meeting with his online wife the following day in casual stride, but that had changed. Xiao Nian felt that if the other party was found to be suitable, he would date her. To him, it was an excuse to get out of the situation with Ji Yuanqi.
Xiao Nian was considerably good-looking, and it wasn¡¯t as if no one had ever been interested in him. But it was the first time he was so unnerved, and to think that the other party was so many times better looking than himself!
Crap!
Recalling the look in Ji Yuanqi¡¯s eyes earlier on, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but curse and swear silently. It couldn¡¯t be real, that rascal Ji Yuanqi was just making fun of him.
How could he like someone he had met only twice? Were all gays so easy?!
Xiao Nian wished his Daddy Pei was there for him to confide in, but needless to say, his Daddy Pei would be in thepany of Fu Sichen.
He would surely be beaten to death if he even tried to send a ¡®love note¡¯ to Pei Zhen right then.
¡°Arghhhhhh!¡±
Xiao Nian ruffled his hair in frustration. Then his hand brushed against something, and he looked down¡ªhe still had Ji Yuanqi¡¯s scarf around his neck.
¡°Despicable!¡±
Xiao Nian immediately yanked it off and focused his thoughts on his meeting the next day. Once he had a girlfriend, it wouldn¡¯t matter if Ji Yuanqi was serious or ying a joke, he¡¯d have to take a backseat!
Surprisingly, that very night, Ji Yuanqi didn¡¯t make an appearance. Xiao Nian heaved a sigh of relief. The next day, Xiao Nian woke up unusually early to tidy up and groom himself. He took out an expensive suit and put it on.
Twice as handsome!
Xiao Nian was most satisfied. However, on his way out, he ran into Ji Yuanqi. It was awkward, running into his ¡®gay¡¯ friend, especially when Ji Yuanqi teased him with a wolf-whistle.
¡°Good looking.¡±
For unknown reasons, Xiao Nian felt his pulse quicken. But outwardly, he snorted and went his own way.
The small district was not far from Zhengda za, and since it was still early, Xiao Nian decided to walk. He sent a text message to his wife. ¡°Wifey, I¡¯m going over now.¡±
At the same time, Ji Yuanqi, who was just upstairs, received a text message too. He looked at Xiao Nian¡¯s message and smiled. Then moving his fingers, he replied, ¡°Okay, Hubby, I¡¯ll be there right away.¡±
So he liked lustrous long and straight hair?
Ji Yuanqi had taken a wig from the top of the closet. He put it on.
Chapter 233 (END) - Additional Chapter 3
Chapter 233: Additional Chapter 3
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Zhengda za was near the city center and was a crowded and flourishing location.
Xiao Nian and his wife had arranged to meet at a certain restaurant. However, when Xiao Nian got there, he realized that the restaurant was quite dim.
Probably the result of trying to create a romantic atmosphere.
The amber lighting was mellow and added a touch of beauty to the objects under its glow. Xiao Nian felt it made him look even better.
That was great.
Trying to restrain his excitement, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but imagine what it would be like to meet his wife for the first time. He firmly believed that they would have many things inmon to talk about.
The wait was sweet torture. At that point of time, Xiao Nian had no mood to look through Weibo; neither did he feel like logging into WeChat. He looked up constantly, yet every time he made eye contact with a female, he¡¯d quickly look down again.
Damn.
Man up a little more.
He was already a grown man of twenty plus, not a childish high school boy!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, and then heard a sweet voice over the top of his head. ¡°Hubby?¡±
Xiao Nian was stunned.
With a swish, he lifted his head.
Before him stood a woman with lustrous, long and straight hair. She had delicately sculptured features and was very good-looking.
¡°You¡¡± Xiao Nian widened his eyes in disbelief. ¡°You¡¡±
She was his online wife?
Her long dress was floating around her, and her eyes sparkled like stars as a smile slowly spread across her face, she was most attractive.
And really beautiful.
Only¡ she¡¯s a little tall?
Furthermore, for some reason, the more Xiao Nian observed her, the more he felt that she looked like someone he knew.
Ji Yuanqi!
That new, shameless neighbor of his!
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The pretty woman sat down opposite Xiao Nian, resting her chin on a hand and smiling shyly. ¡°Am I ugly?¡±
Her sweet voice immediately pulled Xiao Nian back from his thoughts. His face heated up and he shook his head vigorously. ¡°No¡ y-you are very pretty.¡±
Saying that, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but secretly nce at thedy again. He wanted to p himself.
Stupid ass! How could this gentle and pretty woman have anything to do with Ji Yuanqi, the scumbag!
¡°Is that so.¡± While Xiao Nian was shy, the woman was doubly so. She pinched the folds of her dress with her hands, looking all at once youthful and girlish. ¡°I-I¡¯m d you like what you see.¡±
Then, as though she realized what she had just said, the woman lifted her hands to her cheeks. ¡°Oh dear, what am I saying? I¡ I¡¡±
Xiao Nian was at a loss for words.
And he felt light-headed!
She was so adorable. There was no way she was that rascal Ji Yuanqi!
Besides, she¡ she just admitted to liking him. Xiao Nian felt that there was a definite chance of getting attached!
¡°Cough, cough.¡± Xiao Nian cleared his throat and thoughtfully changed the topic. ¡°I think we shouldn¡¯t keep addressing each other as Hubby and Wifey. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Nian. What about you?¡±
¡°Xiao Nian¡¡± The woman looked at him seriously with surprise in her eyes. ¡°Oh, you are indeed Pei Zhen¡¯s manager. What an honor.¡±
Xiao Nian smiled radiantly and nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Who¡¯d have thought that the champion manager is so dashing looking¡ I¡¡± The woman gave a coy look and smiled, looking as lovable as anything. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, my name is Ji Yuanyuan. You can call me Yuanyuan.¡±
Xiao Nian went nk for a moment.
And then he almost threw up the mouthful of fruit juice he just took in.
Ji Yuanqi¡ Ji Yuanyuan¡
What the hell¡ what the hell¡
¡°Big Brother Xiao?¡± Ji Yuanyuan immediately caught on that something was wrong. When she saw Xiao Nian¡¯s stunned expression, she reached out to hold Xiao Nian¡¯s hands. She blinked her pretty eyes and asked, ¡°Do¡ do you not like Yuanyuan?¡±
She spoke with a pitiful expression, and her bright, sparkling eyes were like water in Autumn. It was as though if Xiao Nian so much as disapproved, the clear water would immediately turn into flowing tears.
Xiao Nian¡¯s heart was pounding away, and he was nervous, feeling as though an electrical current had just passed through him. All his senses focused on the contact between both their hands.
Just like that, they were holding hands?
How to put it?
How was it that a woman¡¯s hands were bigger than his own, and warmer too.
Er¡ but given her height, it wasn¡¯t exactly strange.
Xiao Nian was easily embarrassed, and his face was already beginning to turn a bright scarlet. ¡°No¡ I don¡¯t dislike you¡¡±
¡°Really?¡± Ji Yuanyuan gave a long, troubled sigh. ¡°I am tall, so many men don¡¯t like me¡ Big Brother Xiao, what about you? Will we meet again?¡±
¡°Of course we will.¡± Xiao Nian¡¯s heart ached to think that people would dislike such a beautiful woman just because she was tall. ¡°You are tall because you have good genes. Those people who dislike you are just short-sighted and shallow!¡±
¡°So then, Big Brother Xiao does like Yuanyuan?¡± Ji Yuanyuan was already holding Xiao Nian¡¯s hands in her own, in an easy manner. ¡°Hubby, you are so good.¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s face was beet red, and his heart was racing. It felt like his soul was floating out of his body, dancing amongst the clouds.
Ahhhhhh¡ Daddy, Daddy Pei, your son is about to get hitched. It¡¯s really going to happen!
Xiao Nian wasn¡¯t too fussy about height. Having fought through life and death situations in solidarity for more than half a year on the online game, he had long regarded Ji Yuanyuan as a confidante, a soulmate!
And they really had a lot inmon to talk about; there wasn¡¯t a moment of silence throughout the meal.
Xiao Nian was overjoyed, and sweetness oozed out of his heart. Only, when it came to footing the bill, Ji Yuanyuan was faster than Xiao Nian and ended up paying for the meal.
Xiao Nian was at a loss for words.
The way that the woman fought to foot the bill reminded Xiao Nian of that rascal!
Xiao Nian¡¯s hand that was holding on to his wallet started to tremble. Looking at Ji Yuanyuan, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Yuanyuan, what¡ what¡¯s your rtionship with Ji Yuanqi?¡±
¡°Eh?!¡± Ji Yuanyuan looked even more surprised than Xiao Nian. ¡°You know my brother?¡±
¡°Your brother?¡± Xiao Nian was once again surprised.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Ji Yuanyuan looked even more like Ji Yuanqi when she smiled. ¡°My brother and I are twins.¡±
Xiao Nian red at her fiercely.
Twins? The world is really that small!
Xiao Nian suddenly felt aplexity of emotions. The moment he thought of Ji Yuanqi, he felt an uncontroble anger welling up inside, and he could do nothing to suppress it.
How could such a scoundrel have such a lovable sister!
¡°Big Brother Xiao.¡± Ji Yuanyuan immediately spoke up for Ji Yuanqi the moment the topic of her brother was broached. ¡°My brother is an extremely good person, handsome and rich. He has an eight-pack¡ and he is a full 18 centimeters there¡¡±
There¡ Xiao Nian thought, meaning where¡?
¡°And my brother is a loyal lover.¡± Ji Yuanyuan seemed to have no reservations in extolling the virtues of others. ¡°He had liked his senior in University and till today still likes him.¡±
¡°Him¡?!¡± Xiao Nian was shocked, ¡°Your brother¡ he¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ji Yuanyuan had a grieved expression on her face and withdrew her hands. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, do you have something against gay people?¡±
¡°No¡ No.¡± Xiao Nian felt really bad for causing Ji Yuanyuan to grieve. ¡°I don¡¯t hate gay people. Just that I¡¡±
¡°Hehe, I knew Big Brother Xiao has a big heart, unlike those ignorant people.¡±
Ji Yuanyuan was quick to get upset but was even quicker to smile. Without waiting to give Xiao Nian a chance to speak, she started to extol the virtues of her brother again.
¡°He was the University genius and won lots of medals.¡±
¡°He was a real stunner from the time he was a child, and charmed countless numbers of males and females equally.¡±
¡°All-rounder genius, he¡¯s National Television¡¯s youngest station director.¡±
Xiao Nian was at a loss for words.
Then suddenly he thought of the public service announcement assignment that Pei Zhen took on. At that time he had thought that Fu Sichen was the one who clinched this deal, but as he pondered, it seemed odd.
¡°Pei Zhen¡¯s public service announcement¡¡± Ji Yuanyuan immediately confirmed his suspicion. ¡°My brother arranged that.¡±
Damn it, Xiao Nian thought, so it was indeed!
And if that were indeed the case, then wouldn¡¯t it mean that he owed Ji Yuanqi a favor?
Previously it was just borrowing a motorbike, and even then the rascal had so shamelessly wanted a meal. With another favor owed over the public service announcement, would the scumbag, Ji Yuanqi, ask to live under the same roof?!
Emmmmm¡.
Xiao Nian was indeed right, and it wasn¡¯t just living under the same roof. Ji Yuanqi had bigger ns¡ªhe wanted to sleep on the same bed as Xiao Nian!
He didn¡¯t go through all that hard work for nothing, moving across the city from his ssy luxurious mansion to an apartment in a small district. How easy was that?
Of course, it wasn¡¯t easy.
And furthermore, to help fulfill his Hubby¡¯s fantasy, he had to cross-dress as a woman.
Theatrical y, broadcast director, performance¡ they were exactly what he studied in University. He had manipted his voice so that no one could see through his disguise.
Initially, Ji Yuanqi thought that Xiao Nian would see through his disguise in a jiffy, but unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t. After so many years, his senior was still so simple and pure.
How cute.
Ji Yuanqi looked at him fervently and had the urge to kiss him. Surely it would be so sweet.
The both of them left the restaurant after the meal.
In the daylight, looking at the ¡®woman¡¯ next to him, Xiao Nian realized with surprise that ¡®Ji Yuanyuan¡¯ was considerably¡ well-built.
Although she was beautiful, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t help but feel that her physique bore an uncanny resemnce to her brother¡¯s!
Feeling too embarrassed to ask, Xiao Nian instead secretly looked up the online encyclopedia.
¡°Will adult twins of mixed-sex share the same physique?¡±
It was as tactful as Xiao Nian could manage. He couldn¡¯t bear to directly probe this matter of Li Yuanyuan having the physique of a man.
The online encyclopedia came back with a rather taunting answer, which was a negative, naturally. The question was simr to asking why ¡°one and one would make two¡±¡ªsomething as absurd as it was philosophical.
¡°Big Brother Xiao.¡± the cross-dressing Ji Yuanqi was pondering how he could take their rtionship a step further. He had no idea that Xiao Nian had checked the online encyclopedia. Turning to look at Xiao Nian, Ji Yuanqi was pretty as a picture. He smiled demurely, saying, ¡°There is a giant Ferris wheel nearby. Shall we go for a ride on it?¡±
Xiao Nian felt that something wasn¡¯t quite right.
But the moment he looked at Ji Yuanqi¡¯s pitiful expression, he nodded his head as if possessed.
And before he knew it, he found himself standing below the Ferris wheel.
¡°Big Brother Xiao, can you wait for me here?¡± Ji Yuanqi¡¯s gentle voice made Xiao Nian¡¯s heart quiver and filled him with wonder. Before he could even offer to get tickets, Ji Yuanqi had already rushed over to the ticketing office.
The Eye of Dong Hai was Dong Hai City¡¯s architecturalndmark.
Although it was a weekday, there was an endless stream of human traffic.
However, most of the visitors were young couples walking hand-in-hand with unmistakable shyness on their faces and lovey-dovey expressions in their eyes when they looked at each other.
Xiao Nian was still feeling a little nervous.
Although he was not a celebrity, he was nevertheless recognized by a few people, being a champion manager.
He quickly retreated to a corner and lowered his head when he felt people throwing sidelong nces at him. He wouldn¡¯t have dared go to the crowded ticket office.
Hmmmm¡ he¡¯d return her the money through WeChat. He couldn¡¯t allow a woman to pay for him.
After a short time, the cross-dressing Ji Yuanqi came running back with the tickets in his hand.
¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said passing a ticket to Xiao Nian. He very naturally held Xiao Nian¡¯s hand. ¡°I heard one can see the whole of Dong Hai City from the very top, and it¡¯s beautiful.¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s hand was warmly wrapped in Ji Yuanqi¡¯s.
Xiao Nian hesitated for a short time but eventually didn¡¯t withdraw his hand.
He wasn¡¯t one who would take the initiative normally, although he¡¯d like people to believe he was a real tease and was looking to fall in love. When it came to the real thing, he was terrified.
However, ¡°Ji Yuanyuan¡± was different.
They not only understood each other and could talk about anything under the sun, but Ji Yuanyuan was a very passionate person.
Since the object of his interest had taken the initiative, Xiao Nian was naturally quite relieved. Although he had turned red in the face, he nevertheless held on tightly to the hand of the cross-dressing man.
Her brother was a separate matter.
Even if her brother liked men, Xiao Nian had no interest in him.
Ji Yuanqi was probably just trying to test the water or scare him the day before.
Xiao Nian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he had found the probable exnation. He and Ji Yuanqi made their way towards the ticket inspector.
Ji Yuanqi insisted that Xiao Nian had his tickets inspected first. After Xiao Nian had crossed the ticket checkpoint, Ji Yuanqi whipped out seven or eight tickets. ¡°One cabin, please. Thank you.¡±
The ticket inspector acknowledged that he understood and looked at Ji Yuanqi with a stupefied expression. He turned around to instruct his colleague to reserve a cabin for two, for therge girl.
After getting into their cabin, Xiao Nian noticed that the cabins before and after his were all filled to the brim. He looked somewhat troubled and asked, ¡°Er¡ why is there just the two of us?¡±
Putting on a pitiful expression, Ji Yuanqi lied without even batting an eyelid. ¡°They¡ probably don¡¯t want to be near me.¡±
What was one cabin to him, really? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to pull it past Xiao Nian, he¡¯d have booked the whole Ferris wheel!
Xiao Nian, whopletely didn¡¯t realize the filthy intentions of this cross-dressing man, said with a pained expression, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with you! You are so beautiful and have done nothing to anyone. They are just jealous that you¡¯re so tall!¡±
Ji Yuanqi almost died trying not tough. His senior was really pure and simple¡ªthat hadn¡¯t changed a bit. He was full of nasty words but was really kind and simple at heart, and was caring and thoughtful.
Same as ever¡
Ji Yuanqi¡¯s expression softened. As if having thought of something, he reached out and held Xiao Nian¡¯s hands. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, let¡¯s not get angry. Big Brother Xiao, I¡¯m more than happy if you alone like me, really.¡±
Ji Yuanqi had really pretty eyes, like the vast expanse of Autumn water, holding many feelings and emotions. Xiao Nian felt his heart pound, and his face turned red looking into them.
¡°Cough, cough. I¡ I¡¡± Xiao Nian was deeply embarrassed and had turned redder than an apple. ¡°I¡ I really think you¡¯re beautiful.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Ji Yuanqi quickly dropped his reservation and moved from across him to sit next to him instead. He batted his eyelids and came up close. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, do you really like me?¡±
That time around it wasn¡¯t the casual sort of ¡®like¡¯ he was talking about; it was the more serious sort of ¡®like¡¯.
The moment Xiao Nian looked into Ji Yuanqi¡¯s eyes, he felt his soul being mesmerized, and he was so nervous all words escaped him.
¡°I like you.¡± Ji Yuanqi smiled. ¡°I really, really like you.¡±
Xiao Nian¡¯s heart was racing wildly, and after Ji Yuanqi nted a kiss on his lips, he felt as though it would explode.
The kiss was like a dragonfly brushing the surface of the water.
Ji Yuanqi practiced restraint and went back to his seat opposite Xiao Nian after the kiss.
Their cabin had reached the top of the Ferris wheel at that point. He could see the panoramic view behind Xiao Nian, and the endless traffic of Dong Hai City. It was a very pretty sight.
After they got off the Ferris wheel, Xiao Nian felt weak and floaty.
It wasn¡¯t from being scared, but purely from the excitement and uncontainable happiness¡ªthat sweet feeling.
Ji Yuanqi¡¯s disguise hadn¡¯t been blown. After the kiss, he felt content. The two of them parted ways under the Ferris wheel. ¡°Big Brother Xiao, I¡¯m very happy today. Can we meet again tomorrow?¡±
Although Xiao Nian¡¯s face had turned scarlet, he realized they were probably officially an item. He quickly put on an air of being someone¡¯s boyfriend. ¡°Yes, of course, we can meet. I¡ I¡¯d like to see you too.¡±
Xiao Nian was a shy person and saying sweet nothings made him turn even redder. He quickly added, ¡°Where do you live? I¡¯ll send you home.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll hire a taxi¡¡±
¡°Big Brother!¡±
Before Ji Yuanqi could finish what he was saying, a voice came from behind, shrieking excitedly. Immediately, a silhouette charged towards him and mmed right into him.
¡°What a coincidence! What are you doing here? Looking for inspiration, or hunting for a good catch?¡±
The pretty girl turned and nced at Xiao Nian, her face immediately lighting up with a mischievous smile. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re that sister-inw of mine? You¡¯re handsome!¡±
Big Brother? Sister-inw?
Xiao Nian¡¯s expression froze, and he took two steps back in shock. ¡°You¡ you¡¯re¡¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯m Ji Yuanqi¡¯s twin sister.¡± The girl¡¯s lips curled upwards in a smile; she was cheerful and sweet. ¡°Ji Yuanyuan. Sister-inw, you can call me Yuanyuan.¡±
Ji Yuanyuan indeed shared the same features as Ji Yuanqi.
But thedy¡¯s physique was ultimately delicate, and furthermore, she didn¡¯t share Ji Yuanqi¡¯s imposing height. At most, with her heels, she was 175 centimeters.
In rapid sequence, the events of the day shed through Xiao Nian¡¯s mind. He turned pale. When Ji Yuanqi turned to look at him, he immediately delivered a solid punch without a word.
You bastard!
On the impact of the solid punch, Ji Yuanqi¡¯s lustrous, long and straight wig fell to the ground with a thud.
No more lustrous long hair, only a mop of short, slightly messy hair was left on Ji Yuanqi¡¯s head.
¡°You¡ what are you doing.¡± Ji Yuanyuan hurried over to her brother in fright. ¡°Big Brother¡ Big Brother¡ are you alright?¡±
Her Big Brother wasn¡¯t in the mood to bother with her right now. He wanted to exin things to Xiao Nian, but when he turned to look at Xiao Nian again, the angry man delivered a hard p across his face.
A loud crack.
Like a whip.
He had never felt so furious, being manipted that way. He red at Ji Yuanqi with eyes aze, then turned and walked away!
Crap! Crap! Crap!
Freaking hell! What a fool he had been!
Just because of his voice, and to think that he was foolishly trying tofort that person!
¡°You are very pretty.¡±
¡°Those people don¡¯t know any better.¡±
¡°I like you.¡±
The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. From behind him, he could hear Ji Yuanqi calling out. Xiao Nian really felt like turning back to deliver another two tight ps.
Despicable!
Scumbag!
That man was a real pig¡¯s hoof!
That was the first time in his life that Xiao Nian dated his online ¡°lover¡±, and it was such a huge failure. His heart ached, and he felt faint.
He hurried all the way back to the apartment. He just wanted to be alone till death. But then his mobile phone rang.
He ignored the ringing.
The calling party was insistent. The calls came in again and again until he couldn¡¯t tolerate it.
It was an unregistered number on Xiao Nian¡¯s phone. He picked up the line and sounded sullen. ¡°What do you want? Make it choppy.¡±
¡°Big Brother Xiao, it¡¯s me. I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
The familiar voice irritated Xiao Nian. His expression darkened, and he disconnected the line. The next moment, the phone rang again. Xiao Nian didn¡¯t pick it up and blocked the number without a word.
Finally, there was peace in the world.
World peacested all of two seconds.
The gaming app on the phone gave an alert.
¡°Big Brother Xiao, I was wrong.¡±
¡°Big Brother Xiao, I really like you.¡±
¡°Big Brother Xiao, please don¡¯t ignore me.¡±
Just reading the messages, Xiao Nian could see Ji Yuanqi¡¯s beautiful eyes that were like water in Autumn.
The online gamer that he had thought to be his wife all along turned out to be a cross-dressing man after all. Pei Zhen¡¯s words hade true. At that point, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t even find the tears to cry.
¡°Big Brother Xiao, I¡¯ve been looking for you a long time. I¡¯ve liked you from a long time ago.¡±
The online gamer was confiding in a genuine and sincere tone and adequately proved that the other party¡¯s actions up until then had underlying motives.
He had made contact through the online game in order not to arouse any suspicion on Xiao Nian¡¯s part. And when the right time came, he moved in to be Xiao Nian¡¯s neighbor.
Damn it!
With a sudden outburst, Xiao Nian angrily hit his bed with his fist. There was too much grievance in his heart, and he needed someone to confide in. But on the other hand, it was quite an embarrassing situation.
If it was a judgment error through the game, so be it. But to have made the same judgment error in real life? He must have been blind!
¡°Big Brother Xiao, please give me a chance.¡±
Ji Yuanqi was quite persistent. Xiao Nian didn¡¯t reply, but Ji Yuanqi didn¡¯t give up messaging him. Looking at that familiar ount name, Xiao Nian couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He picked up his mobile and turned it off.
He had to calm himself down.
Ji Yuanqi mentioned University days and Senior. Could they have met long ago?
Xiao Nian studied Screen Writing and Directing in University, and ended up as a manager.
There were many good-looking people in University, but based on his good looks alone, Ji Yuanqi would have been quite exceptional.
Xiao Nian was quite a stay-home person.
During his University days, Xiao Nian started off being a ghostwriter for scripts, and he had also written scripts for the campus society. Those were his little achievements, but basically, he had never been in the limelight.
So, how did the rascal Ji Yuanqi know about him¡
Knock, knock.
Not long after Xiao Nian had gotten under his bed cover, there was a knocking on his front door.
It must be Ji Yuanqi.
Xiao Nian ignored the knocking.
However, Ji Yuanqi was obviously unlike most people. When the doorbell went unanswered, he hit the button again¡ and again¡
¡°Freaking hell!¡±
Xiao Nian cursed and swore. Shuffling along in his slippers, he angrily went to the door. The moment he opened the door, he yelled, ¡°Are you done?! Scram!¡±
The man standing outside the doorway was stunned, and his eyes immediately watered. ¡°Big Brother Xiao¡¡±
Xiao Nian red at him fiercely.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have deceived you. Big Brother Xiao, please don¡¯t be angry.¡±
Big Brother Xiao wanted to m the door shut. As he raised his hand to do so, Ji Yuanqi immediately grabbed his wrist and forcibly took a step forward.
The man was strong, but his tone was gentle.
¡°Big Brother Xiao, please don¡¯t hate me.¡±
His eyes were too mesmerizing, and they lied too much. Xiao Nian refused to look at them. He looked away and tried to withdraw his hand from the grip. ¡°I¡¯m not gay.¡±
¡°Me neither¡¡±
Xiao Nian smirked. ¡°So what is all this about? A game?¡±
¡°No! I really do like you.¡± Ji Yuanqi was at the verge of tears. ¡°I like you, and I can¡¯t help myself from falling for you.¡±
Ji Yuanqi wasn¡¯t an unnoticeable person.
He was good-looking and intelligent and had many admirers.
But Ji Yuanqi was quite an arrogant man and would reject all who approached him. Some girls cried andmented that he was too cold. At one time, he even thought that he would never like anyone in his lifetime.
That was until he met Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian was three years his Senior.
Although Xiao Nian was his Senior, he looked very young. He was always seen either lugging around a stack of books or holding his lecture notebook¡ªand he¡¯d spend all day in the library.
Ji Yuanqi only found outter that Xiao Nian was the one who wrote the script for the Society¡¯s y, and Ji Yuanqi was the male lead for the y.
Xiao Nian was especially good at writing romantic ys. Pure and clean.
Initially, Ji Yuanqi was curious as to what sort of person would write such a story. Then after a length of secretive observation, he realized that the ywright was just like the essence of the story¡ªsimple and clean.
And before he could even stop himself, he had liked Xiao Nian.
And the feelings in his heart took root and grew.
By the time he realized how deep his feelings had grown, Xiao Nian had graduated and disappeared without any means of contact.
¡°It took me a long time to find you.¡± As a manager, Xiao Nian was nowhere as visible as the celebrities. Besides, when he first joined the agency, he was a nobody. Ji Yuanqi looked at Xiao Nian with a grieved expression. ¡°I only managed to find you when I joined the entertainment industry after graduation.¡±
And in order not to rock the boat, Ji Yuanqi had strategically tried to win Xiao Nian¡¯s heart through the online game.
¡°Didn¡¯t you just say you liked me?¡± Ji Yuanqi had already removed his makeup and looked like his usual stunning self. ¡°Surely, you wouldn¡¯t feel that we are not suitable for each other just because I¡¯m a man.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Xiao Nian felt his throat tightening, and he did not know how to answer Ji Yuanqi. Seeing that Xiao Nian hesitated, Ji Yuanqi pushed his luck. ¡°You¡¯re upset with me for pretending to be a woman and for having deceived you for more than half a year? Fine, I was at fault. However, I had never said that I was a woman.¡±
Xiao Nian bristled at that. ¡°You were using a female codename. If that wasn¡¯t pretending to be female, what was it?
Ji Yuanqi boldly retorted, ¡°Nowadays people do that all the time¡ªtake on a codename that reflects the opposite gender. I thought you¡¯d know better.¡±
¡°But I had been calling you Wifey!¡±
¡°You can continue to call me that, and the fact is, I enjoy calling you Hubby.¡±
Xiao Nian was at a loss for words.
How infuriating, how infuriating! This rascal could talk his way out of anything. There was no way Xiao Nian would win.
¡°Won¡¯t you just give me a chance?¡± Seeing that Xiao Nian¡¯s expression was beginning to soften, Ji Yuanqi immediately prodded expertly. ¡°Washing¡ cooking¡ I¡¯ll even hand over all my sry. Big Brother Xiao, you shouldn¡¯t restrain yourself from liking me just because I¡¯m a man.¡±
Damn it! Xiao Nian shuddered. Can you not say it out loud!
The truth was too brutal. Xiao Nian considered Ji Yuanqi¡¯s words and admitted to himself that there was some truth to them.
When he first met the cross-dressed man, he wasn¡¯t even deterred by the 188-centimeter frame, but, just because of a gender difference¡ it did seem a little unfair.
¡°Well¡ well¡¡± Xiao Nian stammered awkwardly. ¡°I can be generous, and give you a chance¡ BUT! I¡¯m not going to be the bottom party!¡±
Ji Yuanqi was smiling radiantly, nodding away close to kowtow. ¡°Fine, fine. I don¡¯t know about such things anyway, of course, Big Brother Xiao, you¡¯ll call the shots.¡±
Hearing that, Xiao Nian was satisfied.
He was puffed up and proud even.
He patted Ji Yuanqi on his shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Wifey, it¡¯s not going to be every night.¡±
As it turned out many dayster, Ji Yuanqi, who imed innocence about such things, was riding Xiao Nian to a new high, to the point that Xiao Nian wanted nothing more than to kill him.
Indeed, Xiao Nian found the ¡®woman on top¡¯ business most annoying!
¡°Big Brother Xiao, you are so adorable.¡± Ji Yuanqi held Xiao Nian¡¯s hands from behind, their fingers intertwined. ¡°I like you so much. What about you?¡±
Xiao Nian turned red, he wanted to y cool and arrogant for a change, but his words betrayed him. ¡°I like too.¡±
Perhaps only a little, but in time, it would be deeper, much deeper.
¡°I guess I¡¯ll have to work harder then.¡± Ji Yuanqi smiled gently and radiantly. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you well¡ so well¡¡±
Bliss¡ nothing can stop it now¡
