《Mr. CEO Secretly Reads BL!》
Chapter 1: Prologue || Your Typical Handsome CEO!
Chapter 1: Prologue || Your Typical Handsome CEO!
"Sir, we will have a meeting with Jiang Group about the deal to open a new mall in Shanghai. This meeting has been scheduled tomorrow, ten in the morning," a female secretary informed while she tried to keep up the pace of the tall man in front of her.
"Okay," the man said while his shining ck shoes tapped the main lobby at a rhythmical pace. He walked steadily as he ignored the awed gazes of the staff and guests in the main lobby. He wore the typical ck suit with a white shirt inside. He had a red tie carefully hanging on his cor.
He wore a slim-fit suit that showed his tall figure and wide-as-ocean shoulder. He had his hair permed andbed back. But the clear highlight of this man was his handsome face. He had a strong jawline, straight eyebrows, straight nose, and peach blossom eyes.
He also had a small beauty mark under his right eye.
''Ah Mr. Feng is very handsome indeed.''
Who didn''t know about Feng Xiaojun? He was a man in histe twenties. He was the first son of one of the richest men in Beijing. As the heir of the Feng Group, thergestpany with many ranging achievements in his portfolio, Feng Xiaojun took the mantle as CEO of Feng Group at the age of twenty-five.
In only three years after he took the position, Feng Group already reached a new height. He expanded the business, and Feng Xiaojun rose up in the business circle as the man with the golden finger because he could turn anything he touched into a goldmine.
However, the twenty-eight-year-old CEO still got no one by his side, nor did he seem to be close to any woman. Although he was drowning with women who chased him, to the moon and back, he was not interested in at least go on a date with them once.
Thus, people concluded that Mr. Feng was too busy with his work, or maybe he was just not interested in someone yet.
Thus, the number of admirers and stalkers kept on piling up every day. Feng Xiaojun became some sort of celebrity in social media. He was hailed as the ''Dream CEO.''
"Good morning, Sir," the security guard greeted and opened the private lift for Feng Xiaojun.
Xiaojun nodded and entered the lift, the lift raised to the top floor of this building solely owned by Feng Group. It stopped at the top floor, and he was greeted by the vast space dedicated to his office.
The secretary walked first and opened the door for Xiaojun. Once they were inside his office, Xiaojun asked his secretary, "You really want to quit? Is there something not to your liking? You have been working here for a long time. I don''t want to lose someone valuable like you."
The secretary shook her head and replied, "Sir, I am already forty-five this year. I can''t keep up with your busy schedule anymore. I also have two kids in middle school and a husband. I can''t juggle between my family and work."
"But Aunty Xu, it will be hard without your help," Xiaojunined, "You''ve been working here since my dad was in charge. You know everything about thispany."
"You scoundrel! We are in the office, call me Secretary Xu!" the secretary scolded.
"Eh.. but you have been working for twenty-three years already, you have been watching me growing up from a toddler to CEO, don''t you feel a bit of familial pity for me?" Xiaojun tried to show his grieved puppy expression, but Aunty Xu pped him with reality.
"You are twenty-eight already! Go find a wife or at least a girlfriend!" Aunty Xu scolded Xiaojun. She put down the document of new applicants on Xiaojun''s desk. She then said, "I have picked the eight best candidates to be your new secretary. They are young, fresh, and professional. They will do an interview one by one with you today. If you don''t pick anyone this time, I will tell your parents about setting up a marriage for you!"
"DDon''t!" Xiaojun reacted immediately, "Anything but that!"
"Then pick one!" Aunty Xu left Xiaojun''s office and closed the door. She sat outside, on her secretary''s desk.
***
"Oh no, no, no, no, this is really bad," Xiaojun was stumped when he started reading the applicants personal information. They were all fresh, young women around his age. Aunty Xu was trying to set him up with a good looking secretary to spice up his dry as Sahara desert love life.
But they were all women!
W.O.M.A.N
F.E.M.A.L.E.
Xiaojun couldn''t date any of them because he was not even straight! He had been bent out of shape like that wiggling, rubber pencil, thanks to his long time hobby since he was fifteen.
Xiaojun tasted that forbidden fruit of Boys Love or Yaoi since fifteen when he found an action manga that he thought was about two best friends fighting against evil. He binge read it in his free time until he flipped thest few panels of that manga and saw the holy picture of the forbidden fruit that had fallen upon his pure mind.
The two male ''best friends'' kissed and confessed to each other!
Xiaojun was shocked to the bone. He thought he had seen something so gross and threw away the manga to the trash can in his room.
Until he got curious and took that manga from the trash can and continued reading.
"Frick! Give me a middle-aged married woman with a husband and five kids as a secretary instead!" Xiaojun had a headache thinking about meeting these applicants and interviewed them one by one.
"Or at least let me pick a male secretary"
"Nah, I don''t think I can handle that," Xiaojun started thinking about his virgin life. If he got a male secretary, especially a handsome, young secretary, he would never be able to focus on his work.
"I guess there is no way out. Should I try to intimidate them? No, I don''t want them to be scared. Maybe I should just find an aunty from the nearest park and make her my new secretary. Or should I"
Ding-Ding!
A notification on Xiaojun''s phone stopped his train of thought. He took out the phone from his pocket and clicked on one app. He forgot all his problems while reading the newest chapter of his current favorite Boys Love book.
"Killing Stalking has a new update, Ehe Wehehe"

Chapter 2: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (1)
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep!
"Aish, shut up phone," Shi Qiang turned off her phone rm as she stretched her body. She was prettyfortable in her current sleeping position, covered in a warm nket, hugging a pillow.
She closed her eyes again and snuggled in.
Until she realized that she had an interview today.
"Oh shi" Shi Qiang opened her eyes wide, and she ran to the bathroom. She hurriedly washed her face and applied lotion to freshen her horribly tired face. She picked the white shirt, gray blouse, and knee-length skirt.
''How could I forget about the interview today!? Goddamn, you bunch of handsome men!'' Shi Qiang was cursing in her heart while quickly applying foundation eye cream first on her face. She med that new BL manhwa she just purchased online, painter of the night, for taking her whole night binge reading.
"Ugh, my eyebags are really bad!" Shi Qiangined. She was that type of reader who would stockpile and spent her night sleepless reading a BL novel oric. Shi Qiang spent at least twenty minutes applying her thin makeup and rushed to the train station. She checked her watch few times to make sure that she wasn''tte.
Today was her first interview in a big group after two years of spending her time working as an SEO, aka ve of Everything, in her previouspany with few other people. This was her chance to get a proper job with a good sry after being enved by her previouspany.
Shi Qiang was a twenty-five-year-old career woman who always dreamed of working as a secretary of the CEO in a bigpany. She always wanted to be like Secretary Kim in that Manhwa; what''s wrong with secretary Kim? It would be even better if Mr. CEO is interested in her, so she could live in that secretary dream.
She hit the jackpot once she got a call from Feng Group about her application. Of course, she knew about Feng Xiaojun, that wealthy, handsome, twenty-eight-year-old single CEO. That man was a dream man for every woman in this city, well, including her.
She always wanted to be embraced by Mr. CEO and showered with a lot of money, especially the money part. Shi Qiang hurriedly entered the Feng Group building and showed her application to the receptionist.
The receptionist checked the time and shook her head. She returned the application paper to Shi Qiang, "Miss, you are alreadyte for the interview. All other applicants have finished their interview with Mr. Feng."
Shi Qiang was stumped, she knew that her chance of getting epted was slim, but at least, she should try the interview first, "Please, at least, give me a chance! At least let me do an interview with Mr. Feng!"
"I''m sorry, miss, but Mr. Feng is very busy. He doesn''t have time to spare for you," the receptionist was annoyed by this young woman who waste for her interview but still had the audacity to ask for an interview. Mr. Feng Xiaojun was a busy man with no time to spare. How could he spare his time for an unknown woman?
"BBut, I waste because because"
''Should I tell her that I spend the whole night binge reading Boys Love manhwa and forgot about the interview today? I feel like I would be kicked out immediately if I said so,'' Shi Qiang thought.
"No, miss, please leave now before I call the security," the receptionist mmed Shi Qiang down again and ignored her pleas.
"Please, at least let me meet Mr. Feng first!" Shi Qiang persistently begged until she and the receptionist got into an argument.
Everyone in the main lobby nced at this audacious young woman who begged for Mr. Feng to spare his time solely for her. They shook their head, thinking that this woman must be crazy. Mr. Feng had never been swayed by a beautiful woman in his life. He lived like a monk.
Even if this young woman was beautiful, it wouldn''t be enough to cover her ipetency.
"What is themotion here?" Xiaojun had just finished interviewing all seven applicants and rejected all of them. Xiaojun felt that none of them werepetent enough to be his new secretary. Besides, they seemed to be properdies with proper upbringing. He didn''t want any of them to have funny ideas inside their head, such as trying to catch his attention by acting coquettishly.
"A-Ah, Mr. Feng, pardon me, but this woman over here is one of the applicants for the interview with you today, but she iste. So I ask her to leave," the receptionist said politely.
Shi Qiang looked up to meet Feng Xiaojun''s contemptuous gaze. He was surprisingly taller than what she imagined, probably around 185 centimeters. He was handsome, just like his photo in the magazine showed. Still, he emitted a cold, intimidating aura around him, "SSir please give me a chance, I"
Xiaojun sneered, "I''m sorry, miss, but I don''t ept ipetency. You may apply in anotherpany instead."
"BBut" Shi Qiang had lost all her courage. Since Mr. Feng said no, then she had no chance. She clenched her fist, but in the end, she bowed her head a bit and thanked Mr. Feng for his time.
She turned her back and walked out to leave the main lobby. Xiaojun was about to leave the building to grab lunch in the nearest restaurant before another scheduled meeting in the evening. But he noticed a keychain hanging on Shi Qiang''s bag dangled, calling his true nature as a rotten fudanshi.
It was a keychain with a very familiar character for Xiaojun. He would not call himself a true fudan if he didn''t know this character.
''Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic cultivation!'' Xiaojun took one step and caught Shi Qiang by the wrist.
"Wait!"
"Eh? Ah" Shi Qiang was stunned when she felt a strong hand gripped her wrist. She turned her head and met Feng Xiaojun''s sharp eyes, "PPardon, Sir?"
Everyone in the main lobby gasped when the cold Mr. Feng Xiaojun suddenly held a random girl''s hand, even telling her to wait. It was like a drama moment with the beautiful female lead and handsome cold CEO.
"Follow me to my office. We will start your interview right away."
Chapter 3: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (2)
Chapter 3: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (2)
"Follow me to my office. We will start your interview right away."
Everyone was stupefied by Mr. Feng''s words. They would never expect Mr. Feng to be tempted by a beautiful woman. But today might be the day where their expectation would be shattered. Just like a web drama, the handsome, cold CEO asked the female lead to meet him in his office.
Shi Qiang was ufortable having so many eyes red at her with apparent hostility. But Xiaojun seemed to ignore their gazes and entered the private lift with Shi Qiang following him. He still retained his stern look, but inside his heart, Xiaojun was excited. He felt giddy to finally find arade.
The lift stopped at the top floor, Xiaojun walked to his office with Shi Qiang behind him, "Sir, howe you finished your lunch in less than fifteen minutes" Aunty Xu was sitting at her desk when she found a young woman followed Xiaojun behind.
Aunty Xu gasped, "IIs this?"
"I will hold an important interview with her. She might be my new secretary, please don''t disturb us, Secretary Xu," Xiaojun said. Aunty Xu gawked at Xiaojun, who said that he wanted to leave for lunch and returned shortly after with a woman.
Did the sunrise from the west today?
"Sure, sure!" Aunty Xu said excitedly. She opened the door for Xiaojun and this new woman. After they went inside, Aunty Xu hurriedly texted her good friend, Xiaojun''s mother, Feng Mei.
*Meimei, your son! Your son brings in a beautiful young woman to his office! You might have a grandchild soon!*
A minuteter, Feng Mei replied:
*Finally! Keep an eye on that youngdy, don''t let her slip! If she needs something to make her stay, do it! Money is not a problem as long as Xiaojun get a girlfriend!*
Feng Mei was desperate to find a daughter-inw and a grandchild because Xiaojun had rejected all her rmendations. If this young woman was his pick, as long as that woman had a clean background, then it was enough for her.
***
"Um, sir, I am ready for the interview," Shi Qiang said nervously.
"Sit down," Xiaojun said. He sat down on his chair and stared at Shi Qiang, who looked nervous yet expectant. Truthfully, Shi Qiang was a gorgeous young woman. She only wore thin makeup, but she still looked fresh and beautiful.
However, Xiaojun saw faint dark eye bags under her eyes. Which made him think of the possibilities, ''Did she spend the whole night binge reading a BL book? She is definitely my fellowrade. I bet she woke upte because she didn''t sleepst night.''
Shi Qiang fidgeted under the sharp gaze of Mr. Feng Xiaojun. It was cold, intimidating, yet tempting. She put her application document on the table and said once more, "Sir, I am ready for my interview."
"Right interview," Xiaojun checked Shi Qiang''s document, but he couldn''t focus. Because he kept ncing at that Wei Wuxian keychain dangling on Shi Qiang''s bag.
Xiaojun checked from the window, he saw that Aunty Xu was peeking from the window and red at her. Xiaojun pressed the inte and said, "Secretary Xu, go to the nearest restaurant and get me my usual lunch."
Aunty Xu was disappointed, but she had to respect young people''s privacy. She left her desk and used the private lift to get Xiaojun''s lunch.
After knowing that everything was clear, Xiaojun cleared his throat and warned Shi Qiang, "Miss, I will ept you as my new secretary immediately. But you have to keep my secret from anyone, it will be the secret of both of us and only for us. Because this secret would bind us together for a long time."
Shi Qiang''s heart skipped for a moment when Mr. Feng said that. She never thought that Mr. Feng was this straightforward. What kind of secret would bind them together for a long time? Was it a dark secret from the past that would inevitably bind them together as a husband and wife in the end?
''Oh my god, this is like a web drama! I''m going to live the glorious drama life as a secretary and her handsome CEO!''
"II will keep you secret until my death, sir!" Shi Qiang replied excitedly.
Xiaojun saw the sincerity in her words. He was quite happy with her answer after he assured himself, Xiaojun took a deep breath and slid the drawer near his desk. He took something out from the drawer, a small trinket and he mmed it on the table.
"HOW COULD YOU HAVE WEI WUXIAN WITHOUT LAN WANGJI!?" Xiaojun yelled loudly in front of Shi Qiang.
" huh?" Shi Qiang gawked at the sudden yelling, Xiaojun''s out of character behavior, and that small keychain of Lan Wangji, matching her Wei Wuxian keychain.
Shi Qiang stared nkly at that Lan Wangji keychain, and then shifted her eyes at Feng Xiaojun, who looked so passionate as he continued his speech, "Are you a real fujoshi?! How could you have that Wei Wuxian keychain without Lang Wangji by his side? This is an abomination!"
"Sir?" Shi Qiang was unsure if he heard this right. How could the cold, intimidating CEO of Feng Group suddenly talk about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji? They were the two main protagonists of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, one of the most popr BL novels.
"Fellowrade! This is about dedication for our main ship! Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji went through an arduous road together. We can''t separate them!" Xiaojun started rambling about many stuff that only rotten fujoshi or fudanshi knew.
At that moment, Shi Qiang''s image of Feng Xiaojun as a cold, handsomeand straight CEO shattered into pieces.
Chapter 4: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (3)
Chapter 4: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (3)
"Is this for real?" Shi Qiang asked herself out of shock. After Xiaojun finished his long speech about the importance of the main ship, he cleared his throat and replied:
"Miss Shi, you will start working with me tomorrow, okay?" Xiaojun typed something in his phone and then said, "I already told Aunty Xu, my previous secretary, about you. She will tell you about the work here. Remember toe early and always remind me about my schedule."
"Did I get hired? Because of Wei Wuxian?" Shi Qiang was dazed the whole time. She was still trying to process everything that had happened in front of her.
"Well, I need a secretary that will have no intention of creating some unnecessary drama. I picked you immediately because you are also my fellowrade!" Xiaojun said enthusiastically.
"Unnecessary drama? So, Mr. Feng? Are you" Shi Qiang couldn''t say the word. She was a hardcore fujoshi, but she had never met someone who would tantly confess such a taboo thing in their society.
"Hm? Am I what?"
"Are you... that, you know rubber pencil bent, rainbow, sword fighting cut-sleeve" Shi Qiang was squeezing her brain, trying to address the big elephant in the room without offending her new boss. She lowered her gaze, afraid that her boss would be angry with her trying to pry his private life, "FForget it, sir, I do not mean to"
There was no answer from Feng Xiaojun. Shi Qiang thought that she really had offended her boss the minute she got hired. Although her dream of having a love life with a handsome CEO had been shattered, she still needed the job.
The moment she raised her head, she saw Mr. Feng was busy reading something on his phone, totally ignored her rambling before.
"Kyaah, so cute!" the cold and handsome Mr. Feng Xiaojun was currently squealing as he scrolled something on his phone. Curious, Shi Qiang raised her neck and peeked at the phone screen.
Turned out, Mr. Feng Xiaojun had been ignoring her for a while because he was reading a new BL manga on his phone. Once again, Shi Qiang''s wonderful imagination about cold, intimidating, domineering, handsome, and STRAIGHT CEO had been shattered to pieces. Mr. Feng also stomped at her shattered dream cruelly.
"Damnit!" unable to ept the reality, Shi Qiang mmed the table, shocking Xiaojun along the way.
"WWhat?!" Xiaojun concentration dispersed once his new secretary mmed the table.
"Mr. Feng, I''m asking you!"
"Asking me about what?"
"Goddamn it! Are you a homo-homo, gong-shou, seme-uke, top-bottom, rainbow bridge, cut sleeve, sword fight?" Shi Qiang listed all possible hints to her new boss nonstop, like a barrage of bullets on Xiaojun''s head, he was unable to process it.
"Huh?" Xiaojun gawked at Shi Qiang''s sudden rambling. Seeing the stupid expression of her new boss, Shi Qiang couldn''t handle it anymore and asking out loud,
"MR. FENG, ARE YOU GAY?"
Xiaojun almost fell from his chair as he got startled by the big bullet that Shi Qiang yelled out loud. Xiaojun stood from his chair immediately and covered Shi Qiang''s mouth.
He nced at the secretary desk outside and was relieved once he found that Aunty Xu hadn''t returned yet. He would be in big trouble if Aunty Xu heard it. Xiaojun took a relieved breath and pulled his hand from Shi Qiang''s lips.
"Don''t mention that anymore in public. It will be big trouble if someone finds out," Xiaojun warned. Shi Qiang saw the worry in Mr. Feng Xiaojun''s eyes. It made me feel guilty, "I''m sorry, sir. I will not ask about it again."
"No, no, it''s okay. You are my fellowrade," Xiaojun smiled, "Yes, I''m a full time, hardworking gay."
''Wait, why full time? Is there a part-time gay? Bisexual?'' Shi Qiang started wondering in her head. Mr. Feng pulled her back to reality by saying;
"Miss Shi Qiang, I trust you for this secret. I''m still a closeted gay, I don''t want this secret to be leaked in any way," Xiaojun said.
Shi Qiang felt burdened in her heart. Sure, she was a fujoshi, and she was not a bbermouth either. But this is a big secret, she was afraid that her tongue identally slipped, "Sir, what if I identally told someone about it?"
Feng Xiaojun''s smile vanished instantly, he cupped his hand together and stared at Shi Qiang with deep and hostile eyes, "If you dare to inform someone about this, then I will make sure that your family will never know you exist in this world."
Shi Qiang shuddered. She gulped at the possibility that Feng Xiaojun could make her disappear from this world, knowing how wealthy and powerful Feng Group was. She instinctively rubbed her neck, thinking this might be herst day.
" pfft! Ahahaha!" Xiaojun couldn''t control his facial expression any longer. Heughed out loud when he saw Shi Qiang was terrified by his threat.
"Don''t worry, Miss Shi. I don''t do something like that. My portfolio has been clean, and I don''t want to dirty my track record," Xiaojun seemed to think about something for a minute. And he continued, "Maybe if you identally slipped your tongue, I will say to the media that it was just a joke that got blown out of proportion. I willy low until the news died down."
"It will be quite sad, though. I have a good feeling that we will be acquainted for a long time, so please, try not to leak it as much as you can, okay?" Xiaojun gave a cheery smile at Shi Qiang.
Shi Qiang never saw someone as high and mighty as Feng Xiaojun would say ''please'' to her, even smiled at her. Shi Qiang noticed something when Mr. Feng smiled, he had a deep, one-sided dimple on his left cheek.
Shi Qiang thought that Mr. Feng would be an arrogant, domineering boss, but it seemed that the image had also been shattered. Shi Qiang smiled and promised, "Since Mr. Feng Xiaojun trusts me about this secret, then I will keep my mouth shut. This secret is with me until my death!"
Xiaojun chuckled, the light atmosphere was broken once Shi Qiang asked something, "Mr. Feng, can I ask something?"
"Sure!"
Shi Qiang cleared her throat, and she asked, "How many men have you been sleeping with? What is your position? Top or Bottom?"
Chapter 5: Miss Secretary is a fujoshi! (4)
Chapter 5: Miss Secretary is a fujoshi! (4)
"How many men have you been sleeping with? What is your position? Top or Bottom?"
Xiaojun almost choked out of nothing. He saw the expectant eyes of Shi Qiang. Her eyes glimmered with ambition as if her inner fujoshi nature had been slowly emitted out. Xiaojun avoided her gaze and nervously asked, "WWhy are you asking that? It''s a private matter, you know"
"Well, indeed, it is a private matter. But sir, you seem very rxed when you admitted that you are gay, even as far as telling me that you are full time gay. Does this mean"
Xiaojun gulped. He didn''t want to admit that he was still a cute virgin with a little pink mouth down below. He was a popr bachelor and was popr with both men and women, ''Should I admit that I don''t have any sexual experience at all? No, no, no, I must set an example for her! She is my fellowrade, and I am the male one here!"
"OOf course, I have a lot of experience! I''ve slept with many men!" Xiaojun thundered, but his voice was shaking. Shi Qiang squinted suspiciously;
"Are you a top or bottom?"
"TThat..." Xiaojun''s ears reddened, and his face was hot. He wasn''t prepared to delve deeper into this topic, "OOf course, I am a top! A certified top! I stand above all!"
''Who gives that kind of certification? Is that a self-certification?'' Shi Qiang thought.
"Really?"
"Yes! Don''t you believe me? Do you think someone like me is still inexperienced?!"
''Your answer pretty much says that you are inexperienced, boss''
Shi Qiang felt that Feng Xiaojun''s answers and actions were very unnatural. However, it seemed that he was embarrassed to admit that he was still an inexperienced virgin for twenty-eight years.
Although her fujoshi''s energy started rushing in her blood, she didn''t want to make him ufortable. Thus, she had to hold all her questions as a fujoshi for now.
"Yes, sir. I believe you," Shi Qiang said t, solely to maintain Feng Xiaojun''s confidence.
The awkwardnesssted for a while, with Xiaojun repeatedly tried to dodge Shi Qiang''s peering gaze on him. He felt that Shi Qiang had instantly shed her fidgety, cute act once he told her they wererades.
Shi Qiang herself didn''t care about her image in front of Feng Xiaojun once all her imagination about CEO had been shattered into pieces and cruelly stomped by the said CEO. Her expression was t, and her eyes were peering at him, trying to analyze something.
"You don''t seem to be excited after knowing that I''m a fudanshi, at least not as excited as when you see me as a cold CEO," Xiaojun pondered.
"Well, I am happy to find arade nheless. But I''m in tremendous mental shock after my imagination about a cold, handsome CEO has been shattered into pieces. Don''t you know that a girl''s fantasy is the strongest thing on the?"
"WWell, they are free to imagine, of course" Xiaojunughed awkwardly. Then he tried to shift the topic, "So are youte for the interview because you binged on a BL storyst night?"
"Yes, I was reading Painter of the Night," Shi Qiang replied and then sighed, "Since I will be working as a secretary tomorrow, I guess I can''t be doing that often."
"Hehe, don''t worry, you can always read when we''re on a trip or something," Xiaojun joked, "I read a lot of BLs whenever I have the spare time."
Xiaojun rested his back on the chair, he was rxed, "But of course, work is work. Whenever it''s time for work, then we should be serious and dedicated until we finished the task."
"Yes, boss."
Xiaojun and Shi Qiang felt that they clicked with each other so naturally, like a long timerade. Both of them had the feeling that they would really be good acquaintances for a long time.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Both Xiaojun and Shi Qiang nced at the door, and Xiaojun whispered, "Act like I''ve properly done an interview with you."
Xiaojun''s shy expression vanished instantly, and his cold, domineering CEO face was on point. Meanwhile, Shi Qiang also got into the acting, and the excited and fidgety expression returned on her face.
"Come in," Xiaojun said.
Aunty Xu opened the door and put served the takeout lunch from the restaurant on a te. She put the lunch on the table when she heard Xiaojun suddenly said, "You''ve passed my interview, Miss Shi. Secretary Xu will instruct you about your desk job, you will start working tomorrow."
Aunty Xu held her breath and nced at Shi Qiang, whose porcin cheek turned peachy, "TThank you, Mr. Feng."
Aunty Xu turned her head at Xiaojun and saw a small smirk on his lips.
''Oh my god! There it is! Xiaojun is in love! My little Xiaojun is finally in love! I really thought that he was gay because he never has a date with someone before! Thank you, Buddha!'' Aunty Xu was about to shed joyful tears. But she tried hard to retain her professionality, and she said;
"I will take Miss Shi out and teach her about her desk job, sir," Aunty Xu said.
"Please do."
***
Shi Qiang followed Aunty Xu out of Xioajun''s office.
Aunty Xu was really excited that she could burst into thousands of bubbles. She cupped Shi Qiang''s fingers with her palm and said, "Youngdy, you are fortunate!"
"YYes?" Shi Qiang blinked few times. Because Secretary Xu was the epitome of a senior professional secretary, she thought that Secretary Xu would be harsh.
"You must work hard, okay? Xiaojun is hard to please, but he is loyal and a hard worker! Oh my god, this is the first time I''ve seen him smirking like that, and you are also the first woman he epted to work directly under him! Youngdy, I fully support your rtionship with him!" Aunty Xu said excitedly.
"TThank you, ma''am"
"Thank Buddha, my suspicion that Xiaojun is gay is wrong!"
''Aunty, you''re not wrong. He is full time gay'' Shi Qiang answered in her heart.
Meimei will be very happy about this news!" Aunty Xu took out her phone and started texting someone, whom Shi Qiang guessed was Xiaojun''s mother.
Shi Qiang felt that she had been thrown into a novel, but not that typical; My CEO is in Love with me and wants to marry me. What to do?
It''s more like; My CEO is gay and secretly reads BL, and I am his closest confidant. What to do?
While Shi Qiang was trying her best to fit in her new world, Xiaojun was sitting on his chair, eating his lunch while watching a drama on his phone with earbuds, hemented;
"Damn, Wang Yibo is very handsome as Lan Zhan."
Chapter 6: Mr CEO, please focus… WRONG FOCUS! (1)
Chapter 6: Mr CEO, please focus¡ WRONG FOCUS! (1)
"Sir, we have a meeting with the CEO of Jiang group today, remember?" Shi Qiang reminded her boss, who had a dark circle under his eyes. He looked very dispirited in the morning.
Xiaojun only nodded and walked to his office lifelessly. He was in a sour mood for the whole morning, which bugged Shi Qiang to no end.
"Were you up the whole night to read BL?" Shi Qiang asked while putting the morning coffee for her boss on the table.
"No, I should have read BL book instead of ying that stupid game for the whole night," Xiaojunined. He sipped his morning coffee and sighed, "Even this morning coffee is less bitter than the bitterness in my heart."
"What kind of game makes you this sour?" Shi Qiang frowned.
"It''s a gacha game full of handsome husbandos. I want to get that new character so bad. So I farmed the whole night to get enough gems to summon. I wasted all my saved gems for five months, and I still didn''t get him," Xiaojun said, remembering all his gems depleted into zero hurt him so bad. a
"You can just use your credit card," Shi Qiang suggested. She had something brilliant in her mind, "Mr. Feng, you are literally the big fish in a big tank. Why are youining over something like this? Just use your credit card! Or if you want, you can just buy thepany!"
"No! Don''t you see? I''m ying a free to y yer because I want the satisfaction! If I buy everything, then it will be boring!" Xiaojun raised his chest proudly, "I haven''t spent any money to get all my husbandos! I am a faithful F2P!"
Shi Qiang facepalmed when facing her own boss. Mr. Feng could literally buy thepany of that game and instantly be the top yer, but he decided to go painful life of a F2P.
"Well, sir, at least you should keep your spirit up. Because we are meeting Jiang Group''s new CEO. I''ve read the information about him, they said that the new CEO of Jiang Group is amazing, and have a sharp wit! He is also the young master of Jiang family!" Shi Qiang informed enthusiastically, "I really hope this one doesn''t turn out gay, amen."
"Eehh Secretary Shi, believe me, there is no ''young'' CEO around except me. All of them are at least forty or fifty years old uncles," Xiaojun sighed, "If only we are in a novel world. But like BL novel, I''d have many men chasing for me. Ahh! I want to have many handsome, aplished men chasing me!"
"I don''t want to be with the same world as you, damn it!" Shi Qiang denied vehemently, "Because you will be the main character, and I will be the side character that only appeared in one panel or two!"
Xiaojun giggled, he was in a better mood after bickering with Shi Qiang, "Alright, since we have to meet this Jiang Group''s CEO and see hispany''s presentation, I hope there is at least one young staff who is handsome. So I can feel refreshed!"
Shi Qiang sighed. She was still trying to keep up with her boss'' antics. Aunty Xu warned her about Xiaojun''s non-BL weird habits. So she had to be prepared.
''Youngdy, please expect the unexpected from our Xiaojun! He has many weird habits, I I hope you are not turned off by his antics! He is truly a good man!'' Aunty Xu warned her repeatedly.
''Toote, Aunty. I''ve been turned off long before you said so,'' Shi Qiang said in her heart.
***
Right when the clock pointed at ten in the morning. Jiang Group''s employees came to the meeting room. Most of them were actually quite old, at least older than Xiaojun.
Xiaojun''s positive expectation dimmed immediately once he saw these typical old office workers. His night was horrible after he wasted all his gems for nothing. Now he had to face long hours of listening to these boring old men talking about typical profit and such.
The situation worsened since they informed that their CEO would bete for the meeting for an unknown reason.
Feng Xiaojun was a professional, but he also had bad days sometimes. Maybe today was just one of his bad days.
Secretary Shi nced at her boss and saw that her boss didn''t have a good face for Jiang Group employees. It seemed that today would be bad luck for Jiang Group.
Jiang Group started opening the presentation and talked about the mall n, profit they would have if Feng Xiaojun wanted to joint venture in this together, et cetera. It was the typical meeting for Xiaojun.
He just answered with hmmm or ah
The presenter noticed that Mr. Feng''s expression didn''t look too good, probably because Mr. Jiang waste for the meeting.
Xiaojun''s expression worsened for each minute passed. Xiaojun was incredibly pissed because the CEO of Jiang Group waste for one hour. Xiaojun interrupted the presentation, "I think we need to postpone this meeting. This matter of unprofessionalism is not tolerable for me."
"M--Mr. Feng! Please wait a bit more! Our CEO runs into some problem this morning, he said that he will being soon!"
"Tell him toe tomorrow. I don''t have time to wait him forever," Xiaojun replied and then ignored the Jiang Group employee. He stood from his chair and walked towards the door with Shi Qiang following behind.
Right when he was going to open the door, the door handle was opened from outside.
Xiaojun was stupefied when he saw a handsome man around the same height as him standing with a box smile showing his neat row of teeth. He had short hair, clean-shaven, and looked really young, probably around Shi Qiang''s age or slightly younger.
Xiaojun was in a bad mood for the whole day until this fresh young man came in and blessed his day with his box smile and bright eyes. This man was like a fresh morning sunpared to Xiaojun''s cold, domineering aura.
''Ah I have been blessed by buddha today''
"Ah, pardon my tardiness. I faced some problem on my way here," the man smiled and offered his hand for a handshake, "My name is Jiang Jinxing, I''m the CEO of Jiang Group. And sir, you must be"
"Feng Xiaojun. Single."
Chapter 7: Mr CEO, please focus... WRONG FOCUS! (2)
Chapter 7: Mr CEO, please focus... WRONG FOCUS! (2)
"Feng Xiaojun. Single."
"Eh?" Jinxing tilted his head. He was not sure how to react. Shi Qiang, who recovered faster than her boss, elbowed Xiaojun''s stomach, pulling him back to reality.
Xiaojun shook his head and awkwardly continued, "AAh I mean, Feng Xiaojun, CEO of Feng Group. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang."
"The pleasure is mine," Jinxing said with high spirit.
After they shook hands, Jinxing hurriedly took charge of the presentation. He continued the presentation with high spirit and excitement that his energy infected the meeting room. The previously gloomy room turned cheery because of him.
"Mr. Feng, Feng Group has soared high thanks to your hard work and dedication! It is no wonder that Feng Group has be the leading group of the year!" Jinxing praised.
Xiaojun replied with a nod, but there was a faint smile on his face.
''A, stop it, you handsome sunny boy~'' Xiaojun was excited in his heart.
"Jiang Group aspires to be in the same scale as Feng Group. I believe that our cooperation will soar our groups high together!" Jinxing persuaded.
Xiaojun felt that Jinxing''s eyes sparkled whenever he spoke. Xiaojun couldn''t help but be head over heels for this kind of sunny boy.
''Our private cooperation will soar us high together in happiness, Xing''er. Ehehe''
Shi Qiang was also head over heels for Jinxing. Jinxing was very bright. He emitted an energetic aura around him. But her type was that of Xiaojun well, straight Xiaojun.
Cold, domineering, sharp CEO.
Shi Qiang nced at her boss, wondering if Mr. Feng was paying attention to the presentation.
Feng Xiaojun''s eyes were wide open. It seemed that Jinxing had her boss'' full attention. But she noticed something strange
''Why do I see a lecherous smile on his face? Is it just my imagination?'' Shi Qiang pondered. She followed Xiaojun''s line of sight, and she found out that his line of sight was not on the presentation, but for Jinxing. And Mr. Feng didn''t stare at Jinxing''s face only, he eyed Jinxing from his head to his toe, and he took his time staring at one part.
''Ah, Xing''er has healthy, wheat-colored skin, with strong lean muscle too. What aplete package'' Xiaojun stared at that part under Jinxing''s belly, and he couldn''t control his lecherous smile, ''I bet he is great in bed, ehe.''
Shi Qiang could urately predict what was in her boss'' mind. She tried to pull Xiaojun''s brain out of the gutter by nudging his leg with her heel.
Xiaojun''s mind had traveled far and wide until he felt the nudge on his leg. He nced at Shi Qiang, who red at him. They didn''t utter any word, but theymunicated with their eyes as if they had telepathy.
''Where are you staring at?!''
''What? Don''t you see that I''m fully focused?!''
''Focus on the presentation! What if someone noticed your line of sight!'' Shi Qiang signaled to her boss with her eyes.
''What? I''m telling you, I''m listening to the presentation!''
''Your lecherous smile creeped me out! You are definitely not listening to the presentation! You are staring at that part!''
'' Ah, well. My mind just traveled somewhere, hehe.''
Xiaojun tried to focus on the presentation again. But whenever he shifted his attention at Jinxing, he would be dazed and started thinking about his future life with Jinxing or in this case, Xing''er.
''Ah, we will marry in Europe, then we will adopt three or four cute kids. Xing''er and I will travel together in romantic Paris, or adventurous South America, or maybe rxing in Bali? Ehehe''
Jinxing noticed that Mr. Feng hadn''t paid attention to the presentation, he asked, "Mr. Feng, is there something wrong with my presentation? Do you have anything in your mind?"
"Ah no all good," Xiaojun replied. He still had his cold and sharp expression on his face, but only Shi Qiang knew that Mr. Feng''s mind had traveled far and wide with his imaginary spouse and children.
After Mr. Feng showed his true nature of a totally virgin fudanshi to her, she could correctly guess the line of thoughts inside Xiaojun''s head. Or maybe it was her fujoshi signal that told her everything.
"This is the end of my presentation. Mr. Feng, do you have anything in your mind?" Jinxing asked.
"Where do you want to go? Paris or Bali?" Xiaojun blurted out unwittingly.
Shi Qiang stomped Xiaojun''s shoes with her heel to wake him up.
Xiaojun winced as he woke up from his daze again, "II mean, where do you want to go for our next meeting? Paris or Bali? Because I support this project, we can discuss this further."
Jinxingughed at this, "Mr. Feng has a good sense of humor!"
Jinxing was relieved. He didn''t expect that it was a lot easier to convince Mr. Feng Xiaojun. When people called Mr. Feng Xiaojun as Demon CEO, he became nervous, fearing that Mr. Feng would reject this cooperation.
''I''m not joking, though'' Xiaojun felt a bit disheartened.
"Well, I support this project nheless. But I still need to visit and see thend where the mall will be opened. I expect Mr. Jiang to meet me there," Xiaojun said.
"Yes, definitely, Mr. Feng!" Jinxing nodded enthusiastically.
Jiang employees were relieved. Who would''ve expected that Mr. Feng Xiaojun was lenient for their CEO''s tardiness?
After the meeting ended, Xiaojun had a bit of wish that Jiang Jinxing would ask him out on a date no, a more realistic option was asking for his contact number. They were both young big shots. Wasn''t it normal to have personal contact numbers?
But Xiaojun was not used to ask for a phone number casually. He secretly wished that Jinxing woulde at him and requested his phone number.
''Please, Xing''er,e to papa and ask me my phone number, pleaseee!'' Xioajun wished.
Shi Qiang shook her head helplessly.
Once all Jiang employees had left the meeting room, only Xiaojun, Shi Qiang, and Jinxing remained in the meeting room. Jinxing suddenly approached them. He asked politely;
"Mr. Feng, I''m sorry for my tardiness. I was helping something on my way here. As my apology and goodwill, I''d be d if you are willing to have lunch with me together."
Shi Qiang shook her head. She might be a fujoshi, but Mr. Feng told her that work came first, and they needed to be professional, "I''m sorry, Mr. Jiang, but Mr. Feng have another meeting at"
"Nope! I''m totally free!" Xiaojun blocked Shi Qiang with his body immediately, "I''m definitely, one-hundred-percent have no other meeting after this!"
"But" Shi Qiang wanted to refute. But Xiaojun interrupted her first;
"I am definitely free, right, Secretary Shi?"
''How about discipline, working integrity, and stuff you said yesterday?!'' Shi Qiang screamed in her heart.
Chapter 8: Mr CEO, please focus... WRONG FOCUS! (3)
Chapter 8: Mr CEO, please focus... WRONG FOCUS! (3)
Shi Qiang could only sigh and followed her boss'' will, "Yes, sir. You are free the whole afternoon, definitely, one-hundred-percent free. But I will make sure that you will be busy working untilte at night tomorrow."
Xiaojun could sense the passive-aggressiveness of Shi Qiang''s words, but his mind was already out there, imagining a date with Jinxing, maybe a romantic candlelight dinner? Maybe flew to Paris right here, right now? Anyway, he didn''t care about Shi Qiang''s warning at all!
Jinxing smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, would you mind if we use my car? I drive it myself."
''HOLY SHIT! SURE!''
"Mhm," Xiaojun nodded once, giving his agreement.
"Great, I will wait for you in the lobby!" Jinxing walked out of the meeting room first to prepare his car. Xiaojun felt ttered because a CEO, who was also the young master of Jiang Family, willingly took Xiaojun out for lunch together.
His mind was clouded pink as he showed his unbridled smile in front of Shi Qiang. Shi Qiang shook her head. She was helpless on how to help this virgin Fudan.
"Boss, I will move every meeting today for tomorrow, are you sure with that?" Shi Qiang asked.
"Yes, yes, sure," Xiaojun replied without thinking twice. He hopped happily and left Shi Qiang alone in the meeting room. Shi Qiang watched her boss'' back, and she sighed;
"If Jiang Jinxing is also gay, then I guess I''m just inherently unlucky since birth. Maybe my parents forgot the Fengshui when they made me," Shi Qiang said as shemented her fate. Now, she had to work extra because she had to call reschedule all meetings today.
Xiaojun used the lift and hurriedly walked to the main lobby. He saw Jinxing standing near the entrance. Jinxing excitedly waved his hand, which made Xiaojun''s lips curled up slightly.
Jinxing drove an Aston Martin, he courteously opened the door for Xiaojun, and they left Feng Group office. Xiaojun stared straight on the road but couldn''t help but steal nces from time to time on Jinxing.
Jinxing was indeed a sunny, handsome young man. His slightly arched eyebrows and almond eyes created a refreshing feeling for Xiaojun.
''So handsome, definitely my type''
Then slowly, Jinxing''s cheek got redder, and he turned tomato red, "MMr. Feng, please don''t stare at me too much. It''s embarrassing."
"Ah! Oh! II''m sorry!" Xiaojun lowered his head immediately. He really lost in thought for a moment and stared at Jinxing shamelessly.
"It''s okay. It''s just a bit embarrassing," Jinxing mumbled softly.
They were silent the entire way to the restaurant, too embarrassed to speak. The awkward atmosphere dissipated once they reached the destination, a Michelin restaurant with a city view. Though it was only for casual lunch, Jinxing tried his best to treat Xiaojun with the utmost respect.
***
They were sitting in the spot near the balcony. The food was fantastic as always, but Xiaojun''s mind was not focused on the lunch. He kept thinking about what topic they should talk about. He was not used to be the initiator! He was always the one who kept his silence and nodded with a cool act to preserve his dignity.
''Should I talk about sports? Yah, no, no, I don''t even know about ser league.''
''Maybe aic book? Tv series? Novel?! Damn, I don''t know anything that is non BL! Should I talk about how cute Mew and Gulf are in Tharntype?!''
''I''m so screwed.''
Jinxing himself was also quite nervous. He saw that Mr. Feng seemed to be in deep thought. Maybe he was thinking about another business deal. Jinxing had been admiring Feng Xiaojun since he heard about his achievement. Feng Xiaojun was a big deal because he was a young CEO that could soar so high and beat everyone, even the old moneys in thispetition.
"MMr. Feng, I''ve always been looking up to you," Jinxing said embarrassedly. He dared not raise his head, afraid that he would be damned as unprofessional by the cold CEO.
"Hm? Me? Why?" Xiaojun asked calmly.
''Oh~ Of course, you have been looking up to me because of my amazing charm, right?'' Xiaojun was secretly dancing around in his mind. He was excited for himself.
"Because you are an amazing businessman. You are still young, but you can beat the old yers and stand on top. I am striving to be a man like you!" Jinxing said enthusiastically.
Xiaojun smiled thin, and then replied with simrpliments, "You are even younger than me, Mr. Jiang. And apparently, you are already set to be a great businessman in the future."
"Ah I''m not that good," Jinxing couldn''t hide his blush at all, "AAlso, please call me Jinxing instead, if you don''t mind."
''It would be better if I can call you Xing''er, or wife, the ehehe'' Xiaojun thought.
"Fine, then please call me Xiaojun, Jinxing."
Jinxing gulped, it was such great honor for him to be able to call Mr. Feng by his given name, "TThank you, Xiaojun"
That namested in his tongue for a while, giving Jinxing a fantastic aftertaste. It was such a delightful name to call someone.
The atmosphere was a lot more cheery than before. After they ended the lunch, Xiaojun thought that Jinxing would leave first. But to his surprise, Jinxing asked him again, "Xiaojun, I can I show you the reason why I came to the meetingte? It''s a ce near this restaurant. In fact, we can just take a short walk, if you don''t mind."
Xiaojun raised his brow, but he only nodded once and followed Jinxing.
They walked from one store to another. Xiaojun was left wondering in his head, and his thought was mostly about immoral stuff;
''Xing''er is definitely taking me out to a hotel! We are going to check in the hotel and do the Aaaaaa! Don''t do this. I''m still a virgin!''
However, to his surprise, Jinxing stopped in front of a cat caf painted with all pink and white, "We are here."
Xiaojun was dazed as he stared at the cats who yed around or justze at one spot inside the caf, "A cat caf?"
Jinxing was embarrassed, but he felt that it was very unprofessional to dy the meeting for one hour. Although this was a bit weird, he wanted to show Xiaojun atst, "There is also a cat shelter behind the caf, and also a veterinarian. This ce is fully funded by me."
Jinxing guided Xiaojun inside the cat caf, and the cats meowed intimately at Jinxing once they saw him. Jinxing patted few cats before entering the cat shelter behind.
Xiaojun noticed that the shelter had a lot of stray cats that got serious wounds or illness. There were a vet and her assistants treating a new cat, "How''s this little guy?" Jinxing asked as he approached the vet.
"Ah, sir, he had an infection on his stomach, but he should be fine now," the vet said.
Jinxing usedtex gloves and gently patted a small stray cat that had been sedated. Then he looked at Xiaojun, who stood silently, his eyes also darted at the cat;
"I found this little guy on my way to the meeting, so I have toe here first to get him treated. Xiaojun, I know it''s very unprofessional of me, but please forgive me for this time."
Xiaojun only nodded to give Jinxing a bit of relief in his heart. Xiaojun stared at the cat, and then Jinxing, who was smiling while patting the cat. Xiaojun sighed;
''Ah, this is bad. Jinxing is totally my type. I might fall in love too fast. This is bad for my heart, but if he insists''
Xiaojun''s line of thoughts was interrupted by the sound of a phone calling from Jinxing''s phone. Jinxing checked the caller and then looked at Xiaojun;
"Please excuse me, my girlfriend is calling."

Chapter 9: Papa dragon''s daughter! (1)
"You look so down today, sir," Shi Qiang said after cing the morning coffee on Junho''s table. She saw how Xiaojun had his face folded in an abstract shape. It was even worse than yesterday.
"You just went on a date yesterday with Jiang Jinxing. Why are you unhappy?" Shi Qiang wondered. It was obvious that Jinxing had a romantic crush on Mr. Feng, and Mr. Feng also responded with his definitely-not-obvious line of thoughts.
"Did something happened?" Shi Qiang asked.
Xiaojun sighed and sipped the bitter coffee;
"Ah, today''s coffee is so bitter, like my love life. Perfect match," Xiaojun said depressingly. He rested his chin on the table and said, "The date with Jinxing was awesome. He drove me in his car, then we went to a restaurant, having lunch together. After that, we went to a cat caf!"
"The cats are familiar with Jinxing. They meowed to him many times intimately. Then, Jinxing brought me to a room behind the caf, a cat shelter," Xiaojun recalled the beautiful sight of Jinxing caring for the cats, his signature box smile directed at him. It was refreshing.
"Then why are you sad? It sounds like you have a sessful date with him," Shi Qiang asked. She got curious. Indeed, her fujoshi sense was tingling.
"Because he is not gay!" Xiaojun eximed loudly.
"Whaaaaaaaat" Shi Qiang gawked at the sudden revtion.
"Yes! He has a girlfriend!" Xiaojun added even more shock to Shi Qiang.
"But but my fujo sense" Shi Qiang couldn''t believe that her fujo sense would judge someone wrong. She was very proficient at determining the sexuality of a man with only one nce. She thought that she might be judgemental.
But all people whom she had a guess turned out to be a real homo-homo.
''Will this be my first time to judge someone wrongly? Has my fujo sense dulling because I haven''t ship enough men in real life?'' Shi Qiang started thinking about the worst case scenario.
She took pride in her fujoshi self. If this was her first failure, then
''I''m pretty sure, like one hundred percent sure, that Jinxing is a homo-homo. A pure gong that is!'' Shi Qiang couldn''t ept her failure, she wanted to ask about more detail after Jinxing revealed his girlfriend to Mr. Feng, but when she saw how heartbroken he was, she decided to hold it down for now.
She sighed and then said, "Sir, we still have many meetings today. I''m sorry, but we cannot dy these meetings any longer."
"Yes, I know. I''m just sad," Xiaojun took out something from his bag, an electronic device, and put it on the table. Shi Qiang frowned because she never saw this kind of gadget before.
"Alexa, y sad violin music," Xiaojunmanded. Then the gadget responded by ying random mncholic violin music.
" why did you bring this?" Shi Qiang asked.
"I bought it yesterday. I just want to feel more dramatic about my heartbreak sigh," Xiaojun rested his cheek on the table and tapped his finger, "After work, I will go and take a walk in the park near the office, do you want toe?"
"No, sir. The new episode of heaven''s official blessing will air tonight, I cannot miss it," Shi Qiang refused the invitation. Besides, why would she spend her entire night listening to her boss crying about his love life when her love life was also tragic as heck.
***
Xiaojun was dead tired as he was currently finishing thest meeting of the day. It was already nine at night, and this meeting was about the project of a new housingplex in one area of the city.
"Sir, we''ve met one problem, but this one is a big problem," the contractor said.
"What is it?"
"The area is under the control of the most powerful mafia in Beijing, sir," the contractor looked anxious, "They said that this new housingplex is too near to their big boss'' house, and their boss doesn''t want to have new faces around his area, because he wants to keep his wild daughter safe when she is ying outside."
"Hm? That is unreasonable," Xiaojun frowned, "I''ve heard about this mafia boss, but I never see him, what is his name?"
"Long Shan, from Long family, sir."
Xiaojun was really not in the mood for another trouble, but dealing with a mafia family was not a simple task. He would need to negotiate whether the problem can be solved with money or another deal first, "Alright then, when you meet his men again, just give mine or my secretary''s number. Tell them that I am waiting for him toe to my office, or we will just meet and discuss for dinner."
The contracted was relieved that Mr. Feng would personally clear this problem himself. Because honestly, he didn''t dare to meet that Long Shan. He was fierce and feared across the city. He was not fazed with women, too, no matter how many women tried to seduce him.
***
Xiaojun was sitting alone in a public park near his office. It was already ten at night, he deliberately told his guards and driver not to follow him because he needed some time alone.
Xiaojun ate the ice cream silently while watching the stars. It would be romantic if there was a man beside him. Xiaojun remembered about Jinxing again. After he said that he had a girlfriend, Xiaojun reasoned that he suddenly had an urgent meeting.
Jinxing repeatedly asked him to stay because he needed to say something. But Xiaojun was too shocked and embarrassed because he had foolishly thought he would start a rtionship with someone for the first time.
After that, Jinxing tried to call and texted him all night, but Jinxing just blocked the guy.
"Ah, that was very unprofessional. What will I do when we have another meetingter?" Xiaojunughed at his own stupidity.
"I really wish someone is here to apany me, though."
"Help!"
A teenage girl with torn clothes suddenly charged at him. She was running away from four men who chased her. They were all burly and fierce-looking, strong enough to squash his guts.
The girl hid behind Xiaojun''s back and said, "Big brother, help me! They are trying to kill me."
Xiaojun stared at four burly men charging at him. He gulped.
''Oh Buddha, why do you always take my wish wrongly? I really don''t need four men to apany my night.''
Chapter 10: Papa dragons daughter! (2)
Chapter 10: Papa dragon''s daughter! (2)
"Don''t run away, you stinky kid!" one of the burly men said while chasing the girl who wide behind Xiaojun currently.
"No! You will never catch me!" the girl stuck out her tongue and looked up at Xiaojun, "Brother, they are trying to catch me. They want to kidnap me!"
The burly men stopped in front of Xiaojun, whose gaze could kill. Xiaojun stood silent, ring at the men, "What is happening here?"
''Oh god, oh god, oh god, what if these people want to beat me up. I don''t even know how to fight!'' Xiaojun cried in his heart.
One burly man awkwardly tried to exin the situation, "This ah this girl has been running away from home almost every week. She is not innocent!"
Another man called the girl named "Long Liling, return back to Long mansion now! Your father will kill us if we cannot catch you today!"
"Sir, don''t be fooled by her weak appearance! She is the current champion of the underground fight club in Beijing! She has tattered clothes because she just won a fierce fight! Her alias is the Young Dragon!" the burly men tried to convince Xiaojun.
As much as Xiaojun wanted to just run away, she looked down at the short girl who hid behind him. She clenched the hem of his suit, "Is that true?" Xiaojun asked.
"Bbrother, do you believe them? I''m just a small sixteen years old girl! That is just impossible!" the girl said. Xiaojun was considering the probability for a moment and then nodded. He red at those four burly men and said;
"I will hold them, go run now," Xiaojun said heroically. Though, his leg was trembling in fear;
''After this girl run, I will throw money at them. They will be blinded by cash, and then I can run away wait, did I bring enough money? What about a cheque? Credit card?''
Xiaojun kept thinking of the options to run away from the fight, ''Damn, I should have learned some martial arts instead of attending that manga con in secret back in high school.''
"Thank you, brother!" the girl said. She turned around and ran away. Though she didn''t really run far, she only hid behind one tree and watched this random handsome man beat or getting beat by her father''s men.
"Aaahh! She runs away again!" they were about to chase the girl, but Xiaojun blocked them with his body.
"I will not let you catch her," Xiaojun said.
"Aaahh! Brother, you don''t understand! That girl is not innocent!" one man yelled, "Don''t get in the way!"
Xiaojun boldly took out his wallet and said, "I demand all of you to stop chasing her. Tell me, how much did your boss pay? I will pay twice, no, three times!"
The four burly men were stupefied with the offer. They scratched their heads, "Handsome brother, this is not about money. This is about our life and devotion to our big brother, Long-ge!"
"If we cannot bring her back, then Long-ge will definitely chop our hands and legs!"
"Ahhh! This is no use! We are running out of time. Brother, we are sorry for being rough, but this is about our lives!" the men didn''t hesitate any more and charged at Xiaojun.
"Ya ya, don''te closer! Aaaaaahh!" Xiaojun was frightened, and he ran away from them. Xiaojun ran with tail between his leg, and he was chased by these men around the park, "Somebody, helpppp!"
The girl watched as Xiaojun being chased by her father''s people. She thought she could see a showstopping, bloody fight. But turns out, this handsome guy was no more than a wimp with money.
"Sigh, why do I have to do this every time," the girl rushed to Xiaojun, and then she stopped in front of Xiaojun, "Get behind me!"
Xiaojun sensed that the girl was actually strong. But why would he hide behind a teenage girl? That would be humiliating, "Don''te near! Run now before they catch you!"
The girl rolled her eyes. She jumped high and did a somersault followed immediately with a mid-air kick to one guy''s face. The guy who got kicked fainted on the spot.
Three remaining men were terrified, but they were more terrified with the punishment waiting for them in the Long mansion. Thus, the leader said, "It''s alright! Miss Liling is alone and has been severely weakened after her fight. If we surround her together, then we may have the chance to win!"
"Yes!" they tried to surround Liling,pletely ignoring Xiaojun, who was terrified on the side. What he saw was a little teenage girl who was surrounded by three big men.
"DDon''t hurt her, or I will call the police!" Xiaojun threatened. His hands were trembling, but he tried to call the police emergency line number.
Liling giggled as if she found something funny, "Handsome brother, you don''t need to do that. Just watch me."
The three men attacked at the same time. But their intention was not hurting, they just wanted to pin Liling down, so they could bring her back to her father.
Liling scoffed and then jumped backward. She took a deep breath and did a perfect whirlwind kick three times nonstop in perfect session.
"Arrgh! Ack! Ugh!" Liling had sessfully beat three people in less than a minute.
Xiaojun almost dropped his phone after witnessing this impressive feat. His mouth was wide open, it turned out, he had trusted the wrong person.
He should''ve trusted those burly men instead of this teenage girl.
Liling nced at Xiaojun and then smiled sweetly, "Handsome brother, don''t be surprised. I wanted you to protect me before because I am still a bit tired after that deathmatch an hour ago."
Liling cracked her neck and sore shoulders, "But turns out, you are even weaker than I expected. Though, I must admit that you have a good heart."
"Don''t worry, handsome brother. I am just a bit tired of them. They keep on pestering me to go back home and be a good daughter. Hmph, my father doesn''t realize my potential. I am the unbeatable champion of the underground fight club for two years!"
Xiaojun once heard about that underground fight club. It was described as bloody, dangerous, and many deaths urred during a match. It was the arena for the toughest men in the country.
Who would''ve expected the two years reigning champion was just a small teenage girl with a sweet face but a vicious kick.
Chapter 11: Papa dragons daughter! (3)
Chapter 11: Papa dragon''s daughter! (3)
"Handsome brother, what is your name?" Liling skipped happily and stood in front of Xiaojun. She was sunny, cute, and would definitely grow into a lovely woman in the future. Xiaoju would dly cater to her question if not because of a pile of burly men lying on the ground behind her.
Xiaojun gulped. He didn''t want to tell his name after witnessing everything, but he valued his life more, "MMy name is Feng Xiaojun."
"Feng Xiaojun? Ah! You are that Feng Xiaojun?! Oh my god, you look a lot more handsome than in the magazine!" Liling''s vicious aura vanished instantly. She went full-on fangirl mode, "I''m a big fan!"
Xiaojun took a step back warily, "IIf you know me, then why did you just"
"Ah, I just didn''t realize that the real Mr. Feng Xiaojun looks more handsome than in the picture. I thought you must be ugly in real life because you know magazine edits every picture nowadays!" Liling said enthusiastically.
''I also edit my picture, you know.''
Xiaojun always told the media to edit his face, so he looked slightly different. Xiaojun wanted the press to make him look uglier in the tabloid, so people won''t be too crazed over him, and it would also help him mask his identity whenever he went to manga con.
Sensing that Xiaojun took few steps back again, Liling thought that Xiaojun disliked when his real identity was revealed. Liling grinned and jumped right behind Xiaojun.
Xiaojun was shocked when the teenage girl suddenly disappeared out of his sight. He thought he was hallucinating, but then, he felt a hand touching his back, "BOO!"
"GYAAAAAHH!" Xiaojun jumped out of fright.
"Ahahahaha!" Lilingughed out loud as Xiaojun lost his bnce and fell to the ground. He stared at the clear night sky. He started thinking about his life decision that led to him being humiliated by a teenage girl.
''Did I forget to feed the poor this month? Or is this the punishment of reading too much BL smut before bed?''
"Okay, okay, I''m sorry, handsome brother!" Liling reached out her hand to help Xiaojun. Right before Xiaojun touched Liling''s hand, a thundering heavy voice scared even the ghost who might have lurked around this park;
"LONG LILING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Liling, who had been taking everythingzily the whole time, finally showed a nervous expression. She paled as she saw a 190 cm man with a huge posture, almost resembling a giant, rushed towards her.
"PPapa, this is not what you think"
"I THOUGHT YOU ARE DOING THAT UNDERGROUND FIGHT AGAIN! BUT TURNS OUT, YOU ARE DATING AN OLDER MAN?!"
Xiaojun was still lying on the ground, listening to this pair of father and daughter quarreling, totally ignoring the lying man under them.
''Ah, I''m totally fucked.''
"I did underground fight again! This man is just a passerby!" Liling insisted.
"A PASSERBY?! YOU JOKED AROUND WITH HIM AND HELPED HIM! LONG LILING, YOU ARE ONLY SIXTEEN!"
''Ah, the stars today are so bright, I wonder if I can be one of the stars after I died today,'' Xiaojun thought.
"I told you he is just a passerby! Besides, I''m sixteen already. If I want to date, it''s up to me!" Liling started rebelling against her father.
"WHAT?! YOU SHOULD BE A GOOD STUDENT AND STUDY HARD! MEN WILL ONLY DISTURB YOUR STUDY!"
''Hm Liling''s father is actually very handsome. At least, from this angle, he looks quite young. Maybe in his mid-thirty?'' Xiaojun didn''t dare to move an inch, so all he could do right now was to watch daughter and father fight in this very awkward position.
"No fair! I don''t want to be that weakdy who only knows how to knit and sing! I am an outstanding fighter!"
"WHAT IS THE USE OF FIGHTING? DO YOU WANT TO BE A MAFIA TOO?"
Liling was really angry this time. Her father always know how to hit on her pride, "Ugh! You will never understand me! Let''s go, handsome brother!"
Liling suddenly pulled Xiaojun, who was busy counting stars, "A-Ah what"
BOOM!
Xiaojun and Liling walked few steps before Liling''s father stomped the ground, creating a massive fracture on the stoned paved park ground. Xiaojun gulped as he turned his head to Liling''s father. He saw a handsome man with sharp and majestic facial features. It reminded him of Lu Bu from those dynasty warrior games he often yed. But this one, this man was Lu Bu in a suit.
And he loved how hot Lu Bu in that game was.
Xiaojun was caught in his imagination before the man''s thundering voice destroyed his fantasy, "YOU DARE TO SNATCH MY DAUGHTER! DON''T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!"
Liling''s father grabbed Xiaojun by his cor and raised him with one hand. He clenched his fist, about to punch Xiaojun.
Xiaojun already submitted to his bad luck. He had many grievances if he died here, but at least, he died under a handsome, strong man, just like his eternal wish.
"No! Don''t kill him!"
"YOUR BOYFRIEND IS A CHILD PREDATOR! LET ME TEACH HIM SOME LESSON!" Liling''s father shifted his attention at this man, whom he presumed was Liling''s boyfriend.
"PREPARE TO DI" Liling''s father got stunned on the spot when he saw this man''s handsome face showered by the moonlight. He was mature yet youthful. He had beautiful peach blossom eyes, thin lips, and a cute beauty mark under his right eyes. All that attractive features were beautified by the natural filter of the moonlight.
Liling''s father was stunned. His anger vanished into thin air as he was dazed gazing at this man. He lowered his fist, but he still raised this man by the cor, staring at Xiaojun''s beautiful face.
Xiaojun''s longshes waved gently as he blinked a few times, ''When will this guy kill me? I''ve prayed to Buddha that I will be reincarnated as a soap used by many handsome men to take a bath. Don''t ask why.''
Liling watched his father, who got dazed after seeing the handsome brother''s face. Somehow, she felt that she might get a second father instead of a new mother.
Chapter 12: Papa dragons daughter! (4)
Chapter 12: Papa dragon''s daughter! (4)
"Papa, how long will you stare at handsome brother?" Liling rolled her eyes. Her father was like a lovestruck man who just saw his first love under the gentle moonlight in a romanticedy novel. He had been staring at Xiaojun for so long.
"This is not a gay rom novel!" Liling jumped and kicked her father''s stomach to separate him from Feng Xiaojun.
"Oh" Liling''s father didn''t feel hurting at all, but he felt like there was a slight nudge on his stomach. He dropped Xiaojun carefully and was tongue-tied, but he had his eyes glued on Xiaojun.
Xiaojun himself was confused. He also didn''t know what to do. But he knew that Liling''s father might be awestruck by his handsome face. Like an instant defense mechanism, Xiaojun used up all his might and power to show his aegyo, his cute charm in front of Liling''s father.
"Please don''t hurt me. I really am just trying to protect Liling. Good papa, please don''t hurt, okay?" Xiaojun''s eyes blinked few times to magnify his cuteness. It was proven to be extremely effective as Liling''s father had his cheek reddened.
''My mom will definitely kill me if she knows that I act like this in front of a man. There goes my pride as the master of Feng family and CEO of Feng group,'' Xiaojun cried in his heart.
Liling frowned at this scene. Her father was that of a fierce man. He was like an unshakeable mountain that was both feared and respected by his men and everyone around. He was also unforgiving against his enemies.
In fact, Liling still remembered thest time one of their allies tried to send a beautiful woman to the Long Mansion, so she could entertain Master Long. Who would have expected that Master Long would destroy the whole room, not because he had a fun time with that woman, but because that woman couldn''t y chess, nor she could appreciate poems.
He was angry because he wasted his time on someone uneducated.
Xiaojun continued acting cute to save his life, "XiaoXiao is a cute little bunny, please don''t hurt or little bunny will cry, wuwuwu."
He started addressing himself with his small name used only for his family or maybe just maybe lover in the future.
''I really have no shame. I''m sorry, my ancestors, I have to do this to save my life. I shall pay respect if I can survive this,'' Xiaojun thought in his heart.
Liling watched her father, whose face had gotten red like a tomato. She pulled Xiaojun''s cuff and said, "Handsome brother, stop it. Look closely at what you did to my father. He bes stupid now."
Liling pointed at her dad''s red face. Xiaojun stopped his act and saw that Liling''s father was dazed, with a nosebleed and red as tomato face, "Ah I guess it''s too effective for him."
Liling rolled her eyes, "Don''t do it too much, or you might be my second father or, should I say, my mother in the future."
"Wha" Xiaojun was speechless by Liling''s directness. He started blushing himself, "No, no, I''m not into men."
Liling shrugged, "Oh well, honestly, I don''t care if he likes man or woman. He is still my father nheless. As long as he doesn''t marry a scheming bitch."
"Anyway, I have to leave now. My father is a very traditional man. He will scold me if I don''t sleep before twelve."
Liling walked to her father''s side and then tried her best to pull her father. But her father was like an unmoveable stone. Liling sighed and nced at Xiaojun again, "Brother, can you act cute again and persuade my father to leave? He might stay like this for the whole night. Call him Papa dragon."
Xiaojun felt that the situation was absurd, but he wanted to leave the park as soon as possible anyway. Thus, he blinked a few times and showed a cute smile, "Papa Dragon, you should leave now, bunny wants to rest. Let''s meet again someday!"
Slowly, Liling''s father moved his leg and walked awkwardly as Liling guided him out of the park, "We will meet again, handsome brother! Bye!"
"Wait, how about those men?" Xiaojun pointed at four men who had been beaten by Liling previously. They were still unconscious on the ground.
"Ah, don''t worry. I didn''t injure them in the vital spot. They will wake up tomorrow morning," Liling said lightly, and she left the park with her father.
Xiaojun felt that today was absurd. He wished to Buddha that he would have someone to apany him, but what he got was four fainted burly men, a Chun-Li, and Lu Bu in a suit.
"Today is bizarre. I know I should have followed Shi Qiang and watch a BL stuff together," Xiaojun sighed. He finally took his phone and called his driver.
***
Meanwhile, it took Liling a tremendous effort to bring her father back to their car. The car had been surrounded by Long Family''s men. Long Family was a feared and well-respected underground mafia group for decades. They had been well established for many generations, although her father, Long Shan, had been nning to make the group less intimidating and focus more on the legal businesses.
"Miss Liling! You are finally back!"
Liling shoved her father inside the car and sighed, "Yeah, I''m back. Uncle Jiong, let''s go now."
Uncle Jiong was a middle-aged man serving as Long Family''s personal driver since Long Shan was young. Uncle Jiong frowned when he saw Master Long dazed the whole time.
"What happened with Master Long?"
"Oh, that? He had just witnessed the charming power of a cute moon bunny. He is in love with that bunny now," Liling said carelessly, which shocked all the subordinates around the car.
Uncle Jiong was surprised. But he was also delighted, Long Shan had been single for too long. If he met a woman that he fancied, then they would mobilize all Long family power for Master Long''s happiness, "Really?! Shall we start preparing for the wedding?!"
"Oh no, it might take a while if ever," Liling sighed, "The moon bunny is not into man, sadly."
Uncle Jiong and all subordinates around assumed something;
''That moon bunny is a lesbian?''

Chapter 13: Let''s kidnap a BL author! (1)
Xiaojun''s mind was in a state of cmity. He was not particrly fond of what he just read in the office right now. Shi Qiang, who had been tasked to review the documents before handing them out to Mr. Feng, frowned when she saw the absolute shock on Xiaojun''s face.
"Sir, are you alright?" Shi Qiang asked out of concern.
"This this cannot be" Xiaojun dropped his phone and fell on his knees dramatically, "THIS CANNOT BE!"
"Sir?" Shi Qiang started thinking whether Mr. Feng had received his daily dose of BL smut or not. Because Mr. Feng would act groggy when he hadn''t had his coffee or lose his useless gacha game and would act dramatically when he hadn''t read his daily dose of BL smut.
Shi Qiang soon realized that she had been working with Xiaojun for a while, that she started getting hints of his bizarre habits.
Xiaojun picked up his phone and showed the screen to Shi Qiang, "Look at this! Can you believe this?!"
"Sir, you haven''t unlocked the phone yet. I only definitely not so shameless selfie as the wallpaper," Shi Qiang scorned. She silently judged his boss, who repeatedly told her that he doesn''t want media attention but probably had gigabytes of selfies in his phone.
"Ah, that" Xiaojun unlocked the phone and showed the real problem.
Shi Qiang read a notice on Xiaojun''s phone screen.
*Hi everyone! PupainDisguise here as your author! Thank you all for supporting my work, but I have been thinking about moving on from this story! I know some of you have donated money for this work, especially you, HandsomeFengXiaojun, who donated almost seventy thousand yuan for this work! Are you the real Feng Xiaojun? Since you are so rich, ahaha! Joking aside, I will return with other great works. Please stay tuned!''
"Can''t you believe this?! I''ve donated more than seventy thousand yuan or around ten thousand dors! I told him if he wants more money, as long as he continues writing the story, I don''t care about the amount!" Xiaojun was fuming as he let out all his sadness in front of Shi Qiang.
" why is your username HandsomeFengXiaojun? People might found out that you are the real deal and would spread rumors of you reading BL," Shi Qiang said.
"Tsk, tsk, task, Secretary Shi, this is what we call reverse psychology. There are many people online with my name as their usernames, even my public picture as their profile pic. I''m just one of the thousands of Feng Xiaojuns on the inte."
"" somehow, Shi Qiang felt reluctant to ept thepletely logical reason.
"Anyway, I can''t believe this author ends the story just like that! He ends the story right before MC and ML got married and have a child together! Arrggh, it''s so annoying!" Xiaojun ruffled his hair in frustration.
"A child? Aren''t you reading BL? Is that child adopted or" Shi Qiang guessed in her heart.
"There is no adoption in the novel," Xiaojun shook his head.
"Then, how can they get pregnant?! Don''t tell me this is a"
Xiaojun giggled, "This is a mpreg novel, of course."
'' what kind of spicy chicken author have this kind of spicy chicken reader'' Shi Qiang thought. But she dared notmenting out loud because Mr. Feng seemed to be very into this random author.
"There is no way of helping that, Sir. Some authors are just burnt out or got bored with their own stories. All we can do is move on," Shi Qiang wisely said.
But Xiaojun couldn''t ept it, "But it''s hard to find a good story nowadays! No, I will not ept this. I have to make sure that the author continues writing this BL story no matter what! Secretary Shi, call thepany that owns the writing website, tell them that I need to get one particr author''s contact. We shall take him hostage until he decides to start writing again."
"Sir that is a breach of privacy and an act of abduction. You might get in trouble," Shi Qiang warned.
"That is true" Xiaojun was thinking for a while, then said, "Give eighty thousand yuan as an incentive for that author, and give another eighty thousand for thepany. It will help them cover stuff."
" Sir, using that much money frompany funds will be frowned upon," Shi Qiang warned again.
"Who said we will usepany fund? I will pay it with my personal money," Xiaojun said, "I still have enough spare money until next week. This is aboutmitment! This is a personal mission to rescue my favorite BL book!"
''I should have asked more for my sry, goddamn it!'' Shi Qiang grumbled and started calling the online bookpany, just like what Xiaojun ordered.
*Hello, is this Qidinovel office? I am Shi Qiang, secretary of Mr. Feng Xiaojun from Feng Group. My boss is a particr fan of one story and wants to meet with the book''s author. Which book?*
Shi Qiang nced at Xiaojun, and Xiaojun whispered, ''(BL) Master-ve Training System.''
Shi Qiang frowned at her boss''s book choice, but she repeated what her boss just said.
*What? Privacy? The author is unwilling? Mr. Feng said that he would donate eighty thousand yuan to thepany and the author personally.*
*What? Of course, it is true. Okay, it is settled then.*
Shi Qiang seemed busy writing the contact number, and then she nodded;
*Yes, thank you for the contact number. The money will be sent tomorrow morning. Please tell the author that Mr. Feng is very eager to see him over dinner."
After Shi Qiang got the contact number, Xiaojun took it, he seemed to be ecstatic, "Yes! I got his contact number. Now I can kidnapI mean, now I can invite him for dinner!"
''I definitely see a kidnapping in the making,'' Shi Qiang sighed.
Chapter 14: Lets kidnap a BL author! (2)
Chapter 14: Let''s kidnap a BL author! (2)
Sun Zhu was drying his hair as he hurriedly checked his schedule for the day. He sighed as he kept getting notifications from that novel app, his readers are begging him not to stop the work, but truthfully, he was just too tired.
He was burnt out juggling many things.
Though his work did get popr and gave him enough revenue, it was a meager earningpared to his real-life study and work. Though, he felt a small grievance for his biggest fan, HandsomeFengXiaojun.
Sun Zhu was grateful that HandsomeFengXiaojun was dedicated enough. He sent a gift worth almost eighty thousand yuan for him. He had a funny feeling that this person was the real Feng Xiaojun, the Feng Group CEO.
"Ah, that cannot be," Sun Zhu felt funny, "Feng Xiaojun is a serious, cold, and domineering president of Feng Group. How could he write something like this?*
*HandsomeFengXiaojun: uwu, uwaaa, Author is amazing! Really amazing! This cute reader is on my knees! Author, please write more. This cute reader wants them to get married! OwO*
Sun Zhu imagined the cold and domineering Mr. Feng Xiaojun writing something like this. It was impossible, of course. But it would be funny Feng Xiaojun actually read BL. Because Feng Xiaojun was a celebrity. Though he never acted in a movie, he had his own fan club and ranked second in this year''s most popr bachelor of the country.
Why is the only ranked second? Because Sun Zhu was the first rank, hehe.
Sun Zhu was a twenty-five-year-old actor in real life, he was also studying in university on the weekend. Writing story was only one of his hobbies that happened to get popr enough. Although eighty thousand Yuan was a considerable sum of money, for Sun Zhu, it was not a big deal for Sun Zhu.
And after writing bes more of a chore rather than enjoyment, he just wanted to stop.
Still, he stared at HandsomeFengXiaojun''s profile and sighed, "If this is the real Feng Xiaojun, then I will marry him as my gratitude for being a loyal reader. I wonder what it would be to marry someone as amazing as him."
Sun Zhuughed as his ridiculous thought gave him a breath of fresh air in the morning. He had a fan meeting today, and his manager Aunt Tian was waiting in the parking lot for him to get ready. Sun Zhu wore a face mask, jogger pants, and a hoodie before he left his house.
"Aunt Tian, let''s go," Sun Zhu said as he entered the car.
"Aish, you are sote ah," Aunt Tian said. She started the car, and they drove to the fan meeting location, "Are you still writing that stupid novel?"
"It''s not stupid!" Sun Zhu protested, "It''s an art of forbidden love and the beauty of secretiveness. Besides, it doesn''t disturb my work, right?"
"You are writing BL! Danmei! Homosexual love! The media will hunt you if they know!" Aunt Tian said as she was frustrated. Sun Zhu already told her before he even got into the entertainment circle that he was gay.
It was both a relief and a problem for Aunt Tian, though, because that would mean Sun Zhu would never get into trouble with women in the entertainment circle. But that would also mean he needed to cover up his sexuality.
"Don''t do anything stupid! You are the top star of the country currently. Any bad rumor means a dead-end for you. You used my identity to sign yourself to that online novelpany, and I got so many calls from random numbers!"
"Hehe, because I can''t use my own identity, in case it would leak to the masses," Sun Zhu snickered, "It''s okay~ I will stop for a while. I don''t have enough time to write anymore. So it''s best to go on hiatus, or just leave the story on a cliff hanger."
Aunt Tian was not into literature, but she appreciated Sun Zhu''s hobby anyway. As long as he didn''t cause trouble, then it was alright.
"Just don''t cause too much trouble," Aunt Tian warned.
Sun Zhu shrugged as he continued reading thements from HandsomeFengXiaojun. Truthfully, the only thing he was attached to in his novel was this guy. He was encouraging, cute, sometimes giving shameless or wittyments.
"Why do you keep grinning like a dumb kid? Don''t tell me you have a boyfriend now?" Aunt Tian asked suspiciously.
"Ah, no, he is not my boyfriend," Sun Zhuughed, "But I think I''m in love with him, at least his online persona."
Aunt Tian ignored Sun Zhu, who kept on grinning and sometimes giggling when he read thements from HandsomeFengXiaojun. When they arrived at the fan meeting location, the parking lot was already swarmed with so many fans screaming his name and holding a huge banner of his face.
The bodyguards skillfully guarded Sun Zhu inside to prepare himself before the fan meeting start. The makeup artists and stylists were busy preparing Sun Zhu. Aunt Tian was sitting beside him, staring at her phone, waiting for the text for Sun Zhu''s cue entrance.
Sun Zhu was done with his preparation. He sat leisurely, continued reading hundreds ofments from HandsomeFengXiaojun happily.
They had been waiting for a while. It seemed that the event organizer was still trying to control the huge masses of people waiting for Sun Zhu. So, Aunt Tian gave her phone to Sun Zhu and said, "Hold my phone, I''m going to the toilet for a minute. The password is 888888. Tell me when the event organizer texted it is time for you to appear."
Aunt Tian gave out her phone to Sun Zhu and hurried to the toilet.
Sun Zhu ced the phone on the table and continued reading. Not long after, he heard Aunt Tian''s phone ringing.
Sun Zhu checked the number, but it was an unknown number. So Sun Zhu ignored it. Aunt Tian often got random calls from his fans as an actor or author anyway.
After the call ended, there was a text message that shocked Sun Zhu.
*Hello, this is HandsomeFengXiaojun, your biggest fan. I get your number from yourpany. If you read this text, please answer my call, because I want to invite you for dinner.*
Sun Zhu''s heartbeat quickened as he read the text. Then, in less than a minute, Aunt Tian''s phone got another call.
Sun Zhu stared hesitatingly at the unknown number. He thought it might be a prank, but curiosity got upon him. On the third ring, Sun Zhu unlocked the phone and epted the call.
He heard a husky yet mellow voice that tickled his heart.
"Hello, is this PupainDisguise?"
Chapter 15: Lets kidnap a BL author! (3)
Chapter 15: Let''s kidnap a BL author! (3)
"Hello, is this PupainDisguise?"
Sun Zhu''s heart was tickled as he listened to the husky yet mellow voice on the phone. It was not hoarse like a macho man, and it was not sweet like a candy. This man''s voice was like an autumn wind that caressed your heart, giving a tinge of nostalgia.
Sun Zhu''s heart was beating rapidly as he gulped. The man on the phone asked again, "Is this PupainDisguise?"
"YYes, I am," Sun Zhu replied.
"Ah! OMAGAH, my favorite author! II mean" the man on the phone cleared his throat after he got excited. Sun Zhu tried to hold his chuckle as he thought that the sudden excitement sounded very cute.
Shi Qiang red at Xiaojun, who got giddy all of a sudden. Shi Qiang recalled that Xiaojun often did many unpredictable things when he was too excited. Such as telling his new secretary that he is a fudanshi and a full time gay, also a ''certified top,'' just because he saw a Wei Wuxian keychain without Lan Wangji.
If Mr. Feng Xiaojun got too excited and told that person tantly that he was the Feng Group CEO, then it would be big trouble.
''Remember what I told you before, act cool and invite him for a formal dinner, remember, FORMAL DINNER,'' Shi Qiang whispered. She emphasized that formal dinner because Xiaojun started rambling about kidnapping the author and put him in a little darkroom. No, not for lewd stuff. He wanted to tie him there so he could write forever.
What a dangerous thought.
"I mean, I am one of your fans, HandsomeFengXiaojun. It is my grievance that you''ve stopped writing your current work, which I love so much. I wonder if you can reconsider your decision after dinner?" Xiaojun said dignifiedly, but his whole body was like a shivering pine tree. It trembled all over because he was too excited.
Meanwhile, Sun Zhu couldn''t hide the smile that bloomed on his face. It was apparent that HandsomeFengXiaojun was very excited, but he tried hard to contain himself Sun Zhu would not get scared.
In fact, this was very refreshing. Sun Zhu was an actor with a God-given face. Maybe only the real Feng Xiaojun was on par with his appearance. So, when a fan said that he was handsome, he became immune to it. He just said thank you and leave.
But this person was a fan of his work, his novel, not his face.
Thus, Sun Zhu concluded that this person was a genuine one.
But Sun Zhu did not want to rush it. He needed to know more about this person before meeting him. Thus, Sun Zhu teased him, "I don''t have any interest to continue the story. But I will rethink about it again after dinner with you."
"Really?! Thank buddha! I will pray to myAw!" Xiaojun pouted at Shi Qiang, who just stepped on his shoes. Shi Qiang rolled her eyes. She was not paid enough to be an emotional barricade for her boss.
"I mean, sure. When do you have free time?" Xiaojun asked.
Sun Zhu giggled, and he got a good idea for this, "I''m free next week. About the exact date, I will inform youter. Please don''t ever call or text this number after this. I will tell you my real number, okay?"
"Okay!" Xiaojun said excitedly.
After they exchanged real numbers, Sun Zhu said, "I will contact you tonight."
"TTonight?! Sure!"
Xiaojun hung up the call and put the phone down carefully. He stared at his secretary for a minute and burst out of happiness, "KYAAA!! I JUST TALKED WITH MY FAVORITE AUTHOR! I AM THE MOST BLESSED PERSON ON EARTH!"
Xiaojun was so excited that he rolled on the marble floor and did ten times push up out of the blue. Xiaojun started singing Tian Mi Mi with his untrained vocal, thinking he was Teresa Teng.
Shi Qiang sighed as she gazed over the wide ss panel, directly showing the city''s view. Shemented in her heart, ''Boss, when will you stop ruining my dream of a handsome and straight CEO. I may never marry after seeing all this.''
''Well, at least he already abandons his kidnapping n, thank meter, random spicy chicken author,'' Shi Qiang sighed.
***
Sun Zhu deleted the call history and the text from HandsomeFengXiaojun. He saved Xiaojun''s number and was thinking about a proper contact name since naming it HandsomeFengXiaojun felt rude.
"How about"
Sun Zhu typed ''Cutie Xiao'' and saved the number on his phone. Heughed at his own ridiculousness. Sun Zhu just met this guy, and he already saved his number as Cutie Xiao.
''Well, he is a cutie. Maybe he is just a regr man, but I don''t really need a handsome man to begin with, as long as he has a good heart and will ept me''
Sun Zhu was thinking about sweet things.
Realizing that he might go overboard, he shook his head, ''No, no, this person might only be my fan because he likes my writing, not me. He may have a boyfriend or a girlfriend already. It''s not good to think too far.''
''But it''s not bad to have a little bit of wish, right?''
"Sun Zhu? What are you musing on?" Aunt Tian finished her bathroom business and took her phone, "No call?"
"Not at all," Sun Zhu said. He stood up and pulled Aunt Tian''s hand excitedly, "Aunt Tian, we have been waiting for too long! Let''s just start the event now!"
"Why did you get excited suddenly? You want to finish the event soon?" Aunt Tian asked suspiciously, "Do you have a n tonight? Is it with a man? A boyfriend? Sun Zhu, be careful with your identity. You are the hottest actor right now."
"Aish, I don''t have a boyfriend''
'' Yet.''
"I just want to finish this soon! I want to meet my fan!"
Chapter 16: Lets kidnap a BL author! (4)
Chapter 16: Let''s kidnap a BL author! (4)
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu started chatting at night. Xiaojun was very excited in his text, just as Sun Zhu replied to all messages in less than a minute.
*You know, it''s quite rude for me to address you with your username, can I call you with something else?*
*Yes! Author sama can call me Xiao!*
*Xiao? Hm Xiao then I will call you XiaoXiao, hahaha*
Xiaojun was surprised that his favorite author can guess his small name. It made him wonder whether it was alright or not.
"Is it okay, though? XiaoXiao is a small name"
To make sure of himself, Xiaojun texted a reply:
*Then, how should I address you, Author sama?*
*Call me Zhu''er.*
Xiaojun gulped. XiaoXiao and Zhu''er, they were like couples calling each other with their small names. He was unsure because he hadn''t met his favorite author yet, and he didn''t even know PupainDisguise''s real name.
But his favorite author suggested this first. It would be rude if he rejected him.
*Alright! I will call you Zhu''er from now on!*
*Yes XiaoXiao.*
In only a few days, their rtionship developed with Sun Zhu promised that he would call Xiaojun at night.
Xiaojun let his phone ring a few more times. He pped his cheeks to wake himself up, "Okay, Xiaojun! You are going to talk with your favorite author again. Do not mess this up! This is an important mission, do not mess this up!"
Xiaojun picked up the call, and he nked out immediately when he heard that heavy but smooth, like a butter voice greeted him, "Hello, Xiaoxiao"
''OH MY GOD, HIS VOICE IS EVEN SMOOTHER THAN BEFORE! IS THIS BECAUSE IT WAS PAST MIDNIGHT? IS THIS MY MIDNIGHT LEWD THOUGHT WHO MAKE HIS VOICE TEN TIMES MORE SEDUCTIVE?!''
Xiaojun cleared his throat and replied with, "HHello Zhu''er"
Sun Zhu''s heart warmed when the man across the phone called him Zhu''er. His husky voice magnified the cuteness when XiaoXiao got embarrassed, "It''s a bit sudden, eh? I''m calling you because I want to hear your voice again."
"MMy voice?"
"Yes, it''s calming," Sun Zhu said, "Maybe because it reminds me of mellow autumn? Your voice caressed me like a gentle wind"
.
''RED ALERT! RED ALERT! FENG XIAOJUN''S HEART IS GOING TO BURST! OH MY GOD, AN AUTHOR SURELY KNOWS HOW TO FLIRT! I''M DEAD NOW, I''M TOTALLY DEAD!''
Xiaojun jumped out of his bed and did a squat jump ten times, continued with another ten push-ups. He didn''t know how to contain his happiness, so he unleashed his excitement by moving his body.
"XiaoXiao?" hearing no response from Xiaojun, Sun Zhu was a bit worried, he thought that he might have embarrassed Xiaojun too much, or maybe Xiaojun detested his flowery words.
Xiaojun jumped back to his bed and took few deep breaths to control himself:
"Zhu''er knows how to praise" Xiaojun said calmly. As if those things he did before was just an illusion.
"Well, XiaoXiao does warm my heart. I hope we can meet soon" Sun Zhu said.
"NNext week, right? I mean, I can meet anytime you want," Xiaojun started thinking about how he could burden Secretary Shi with so many reschedules without his coffee being poisoned by her the next day.
"I can only do it next week. I''m swamped this week. I''m so sorry, XiaoXiao"
"No, no, it''s okay!" Xiaojun said, "Workes first. Though, it makes me curious, are you a full-time author, or you have another job?"
"I am a uh filming crew. I''m a cameraman," Sun Zhu lied. He didn''t want XiaoXiao to knew his identity for now. Because it might change their whole conversation from genuine interest to a professional idol-fan rtionship only.
"I see," Xiaojun was relieved after he knew that Zhu''er was not a high-profile actor or businessman. Because it would definitely bring trouble to him. Although the chance was slim to none, who knew if Zhu''er was actually like the hottest actor in the whole country right now? That would be messy.
''Hm that couldn''t be, Zhu''er writes smutty BL book. How could a popr actor write something like that in the meantime? He will just be partying with women in a yacht or something,'' Xiaojun thought.
"How about you, XiaoXiao. What is your day job?" Sun Zhu asked back.
"AhI''m.. uh I''m a regr office worker" Xiaojun lied. If Zhu''er knew that he was actually Feng Xiaojun, it would be big trouble if people knew that he was actually a fudanshi.
"Really? But you can donate that much money to me? Do you have a high position or something?" Sun Zhu asked suspiciously.
"AAh that that was my saving I saved a lot of money for the whole year, so I can support my favorite author," Xiaojun gulped. He didn''t know if his lie was correct because eighty thousand yuan or about ten thousand dors was actually pocket money for him.
"I see" Sun Zhu still didn''t fully believe it, though. Somehow, in his wildest imagination, XiaoXiao was the real Feng Xiaojun. He started imagining the cold Feng Xiaojun actually read BL and squealed ''kyaa~'' whenever there was a scene between two men.
''Nah that is impossible. If XiaoXiao is the real Feng Xiaojun, how could a cold CEO like that be a fudanshi? I bet the real Feng Xiaojun is partying with women in a yacht or something,'' Sun Zhu thought.
***
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu had a random talk until time passed. Surprisingly, They talked for three hours straight without realizing it.
"WWell, I will be going now, talk to you tomorrow, XiaoXiao."
"I''m also sleepy, talk to youter, Zhu''er."
Beep.
They hung up the call and hurriedly find the pair of ck hoodie and jeans. They also searched for their prescription sses and a ck mask to cover half of their faces. It was their preparation for the meeting in one week.
"Alright, I need to disguise myself with this. So nobody will notice me," Sun Zhu said.
"This has worked before. I''m sure nobody will notice me," Xiaojun said.

"Boss, you are a lot more energetic these days. How''s your contact with that favorite BL author of yours? You''ve nned a formal dinner with him?" Shi Qiang asked as she put Xiaojun''s morning coffee to the table.
Xiaojun giggled, "Hehe, yep! We''ve nned it well, but he wants to meet me win a small restaurant near a station. I wanted to ask him whether he wants to go on a date with me to one of Michelin restaurants I had invested in before. But that would blow my cover as Feng Xiaojun, right?"
"Yes, if you said that, he will definitely suspect that you are not a simple person. Remember, until you are truly close to him, you cannot disclose your identity as Feng Xiaojun," Shi Qiang warned.
"I know, I know," Xiaojun shrugged, "Don''t worry, I''m not that careless."
"Anyway, today is 14 February. It''s valentine day!" Xiaojun said excitedly, "Since I have no meeting today and have no date, I will just use this to chill and read some BL"
"Who said you don''t have a meeting?" Shi Qiang had a mischievous expression on her face as she put a paper on the table, "I''ve set the urgent meeting with Master Long, the patriarch of Long Family. You know, the big mafia family that has been making trouble with one of your projects?"
"Ohhh, that one!" Xiaojun suddenly remembered what the contractor said about someone named Long Shan, the patriarch of Long Family.
''That reminds me of Liling. Liling''s family name is also Long" Xiaojun pondered. But he decided to just shrug it off. There were plenty of Longs in the country, after all. It couldn''t coincide that much.
"Eh can I just not go?" Xiaojun sighed, "I don''t want to spend my valentine with a sixty-something bald old man."
"Why did you say that?" Shi Qiang frowned. Based on the information she gathered, although Long Shan never showed his face in public, it was rumored that he was rtively young to take the mantle as the Master of Long Family.
"I mean, we all know that those mafias are not the same mafia in novel or tv show. They are perverted and crude. The master is usually perverted old man, sigh"
"You said the same thing about CEO, and you meet Jinxing," Shi Qiang reminded.
"Well, that one is an exception! But this one is no exception, I bet Long Shan is a balding old man who is also perverted!" Xiaojun concluded. "What if that Long Shan wants to get in my pants and sexually harassed me?"
''Not everyone wants to get in your pants, boss,'' Shi Qiang rolled her eyes, "Well, you have to meet him, and you cannot dy this any longer. His men might start attacking the construction worker."
"You will go with me, right?" Xiaojun asked.
"You always ask me to go when it''s all dangerous," Shi Qiang peered, "But it is part of my job. Let''s go then."
***
Mr. Feng''s car entered a gold dragon gate that opened the path to a vast garden. Xiaojun was awed by the vast garden that was well maintained. Even during winter, there were plenty of winter flowers nted around. Which showed that the master of this residence really appreciate gardening.
"Maybe Long Shan is a very old man, who has nothing to do than gardening," Xiaojun said to Shi Qiang. Shi Qiang herself had no idea what awaited them. She just wished that his boss wouldn''t bring her trouble.
The car stopped in front of the smaller gate, and twodies wearing traditional blue hanfu bowed respectfully to Xiaojun, "Honorable guest, Mr. Feng Xiaojun, Master Long has been waiting in his courtyard. Please follow us."
Xiaojun and Shi Qiang followed thedies to Long Shan''s courtyard. The house was huge and traditional. It may look old-fashioned, but if one saw clearly, every wood nk used to build this house came from costly and polished trees.
Xiaojun concluded something.
''The house is made of mahogany and cedar. His vast garden has many rare trees and flowers, this old Long Shan has a traditional but expensive taste. I bet he cut some bonsai with his wrinkly hand.'' he whispered to Shi Qiang.
Shi Qiang red at her boss. Afraid that Long Shan''s subordinates might hear him.
The twodies stopped in front of a courtyard. They turned back to face Xiaojun and Shi Qiang, "Honorable guest, Master Long dislikes when a guest brings a woman inside his courtyard. There have been many instances when his guests tried to bring women to seduce Master Long."
"Please understand, I shall guide this young miss to esteemed guest''s waiting yard," onedy said, "Please follow me, Miss."
Shi Qiang nced at Xiaojun and shrugged. She followed anotherdy and left Xiaojun alone.
"This way, sir," thedy guided Xiaojun further until he stopped in front of a in courtyard. There was no decoration nor shy color, but it still looked expensive nheless.
However, what surprised Xiaojun was not that. He was surprised by the number of colorful winter flowers arranged neatly in the courtyard. It felt like he was stepping into a spring courtyard.
They paced through the courtyard until they stopped in front of a simple wooden, sliding door. There was a small poem carved in a wooden sign and painted golden;
I pluck chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.
And serenely, I gaze at the southern mountains.
''Eh isn''t that a snippet of a Chinese garden poem? Uhm I forgot the title, but it''s from Tao Yuanming. I read that when I was seven'' Xiaojun pondered. He prepared himself to face an old, bald, and stubborn grandpa.
"Master Long, Sir Feng Xiaojun from Feng Group has arrived," thedy said.
"Hm yes," the heavy voice from inside answered. Xiaojun frowned as he seemed to have heard this voice before, not sure from where, though.
Thedy opened the door.
Xiaojun and Long Shan finally met formally for the first time. The moment they saw each other''s faces, their eyes widened in unison. They pointed at each other and yelled at the same time, "YOU?!"
Chapter 18: Valentine with papa dragon! (2)
Chapter 18: Valentine with papa dragon! (2)
"YOU?!"
Both Xiaojun and Long Shan was petrified by their second meeting. Both of them never expected that they would meet again, just in this totally awkward situation.
''So, cute moon rabbit is Feng Xiaojun'' Long Shan thought, awkward with the sudden plot twist. He was ready to go all-in against this greedy young CEO of Feng group. If this greedy bastard wanted a fight, then so be it.
But when he met the CEO of Feng Group and found out that he was the moon rabbit that kept on appearing in his dream. Long Shan deted instantly.
''So, Papa dragon is Long Shan?'' Xiaojun gulped. He remembered that night with Long Liling. How she could defeat four burly men without breaking a sweat. And how her Papa Dragon could easily tame the wild Liling.
Xiaojun remembered how crazy strong this man was. He gulped as his leg trembled slightly. He took few deep breaths to calm himself down, ''Focus, Xiaojun! Focus! This is a business meeting. You should act dignified!''
Thedy excused herself and left the courtyard, leaving the stunned Long Shan and the nervous Xiaojun together.
Long Shan was tongue-tied. He stared at his cute moon rabbit, unblinking because the image of moon rabbit always came to his dream, but when he tried to catch him, the moon rabbit would jump away and fly back to the moon.
It was the first time Long Shan had this kind of feeling. His marriage with his ex-wife was to tie two big mafia family together. But after their old men died, they decided to separate on good terms and took care of Liling with all the love they could provide.
His ex-wife had remarried, but Long Shan hadn''t.
Because he was simply not interested, nor he ever fell in love with a woman, let alone a man. He always believed in love at first sight
And maybe the cute moon rabbit is his love at first sight
"Master Long, are you not inviting me in?" Xiaojun asked. He was in his CEO mode once again. Though he was still panicked, he shouldn''t show weakness in front of his enemy.
"AAh, ppleasee in" Long Shan said weakly. He stood from his seat awkwardly and waited until Xiaojun sat on the red chair facing him. The tea had been served when the housemaids got notification from the guards outside that Mr. Feng Xiaojun has arrived.
Since the tea has been poured and the snack has been provided, with the beautiful garden as their background, Long Shan felt that they were married couples spending leisure time together.
Long Shan had been fully prepared to argue against this evil rich CEO, but now, all he could think of was how to keep the moon rabbit longer. If possible, he wanted to marry the moon rabbit, so he would stay with him forever, and they would spend their time harmoniously
Long Shan shook his head, ''No, no, no, I need to be firm. I am the master of the Long family. I cannot fall for a seduction.''
"Sir Feng Xiaojun, about the problem of your construction site" Long Shan paused. His heart said that he shouldn''t mention this or he would never meet his moon rabbit again,
Right now, his head and heart were fighting against each other, ''It''s just a smallnd! Let it go! Moon rabbit is here, do you want to kill your only chance?!''
Versus;
''What are you doing?! You are the Master of Long Family! You swore that you won''t fall for seduction! Remember, you shoulder the livelihood of many people!''
Long Shan''s hand trembled. He was in a dilemma for a long time, until Xiaojun opened his mouth, "Master Long, about our conflict of thatnd, I think I shall give up and cut the development of that part. At least, I will leave thend that is supposed to be in your territory."
"Huh? You you will yield?" Long Shan was stupefied. Truthfully, he was thinking of yielding himself after the battle inside his head went on unfinished. And right when Xiaojun tilted his head slightly, and it was like a deadly blow in his heart.
It was like, his heart was waving a white g.
"I have formed a friendship with Liling, so I will do it out of respect," Xiaojun said, which was true. He respected Liling for her bravery to fight against her father''s will. She wanted to be a fighter instead of a simple housewife, and she fought for it.
Which was admirable in Xiaojun''s eyes.
That was one of the reasons. The second reason was that Xiaojun was too scared to fight Long Shan. This guy looked very simr to Lu Bu from dynasty warrior game. Sharp eyes and eyebrows, a re that could kill, and overall huge posture.
The trauma of fighting against Lu Bu when he yed that game long ago emerged again when facing Long Shan, "TThen, I shall leave. Do not worry about the construction. I will take care of it. Good day, Master Long."
Xiaojun stood up, and he walked to the door. Long Shan watched Xiaojun''s back getting farther and farther from his eyes.
His instinct kicked in, "Wait!"
Long Shan rushed to catch Xiaojun, and he caught Xiaojun by encircling his hand on Xiaojun''s waist.
"Ah?!" Xiaojun was surprised when he saw a thick arm suddenly encircled his waist.
Long Shan pulled Xiaojun to his embrace. He did everything out of instinct because he knew this might be thest time he met his moon rabbit.
And he didn''t want to ruin it by being an awkward coward.
"Don''t leave me."
Chapter 19: Valentine with papa dragon! (3)
Chapter 19: Valentine with papa dragon! (3)
"Don''t leave me."
""
Long Shan was hugging Xiaojun from behind. Xiaojun had his head resting on Long Shan''s firm chest. He could hear the elerating heartbeat of this gentle mafia boss. The scene was beautiful if one saw this from afar.
A handsome man being embraced by a big and strong man, surrounded by the beautiful flowers, one might think that this was a married couple''s scenery.
Honestly, Long Shan had nothing in his head right now. He was just trying to absorb all this warmth he wished from the moon rabbit from his dream. He was grateful because a moment like this finally came to him.
The moment when his heartbeat finally elerated, because then he realized that
He really fell in love at first sight with Feng Xiaojun, his moon rabbit.
Meanwhile, Xiaojun was squealing in his heart;
''KYAAHH! Long Shan is so bold! His arm is so strong, and his chest feels so nice! I''m meltingggg!'' Xiaojun was blushing hard. He could hardly contain himself.
''Ahhh, but he is hugging me without consent! Hm does this count as sexual harassment? But I like his hug though, it''s like I''m hugging a big, handsome teddy bear, oh my goddd! My heart, stay still!''
But Xiaojun finally remembered Long Shan''s status. If someone saw them like this, it would be a headline in the whole country, no matter what the title would be.
Xiaojun coughed once to warn Long Shan, although he tried to be serious, the blush on his face wouldn''t lie, "MMaster Long, please release me"
"Ah I''m sorry," Long Shan released his hand from Xiaojun''s waist. He tried to exin awkwardly, "I I didn''t mean to Uhm I just want you to stay"
"Master Long, I don''t understand what you want," Xiaojun distanced himself, "If it''s about thend, I''ve given up. I shall not expand in case you are disturbed by the presence of mypany."
"No, it''s not about that," Long Shan said. He was thinking hard on how to make Xiaojun stay, "I just want you to stay a bit longer."
"Why?"
"Because" Long Shan gulped. He didn''t think it was a good time to confess his feelings. But at least, he should try to cultivate some feelings inside Xiaojun, so his chance would be bigger in the end.
"I just think that we can learn so much more together" Long Shan said.
''Aw man I really thought that he is going to confess. Am I overthinking things?'' Xiaojun actually expected Long Shan to confess for real, but in the end, he also didn''t know what to say if Long Shan truly confessed.
Long Shan returned to his seat and said, "Please enjoy yourself. Maybe we can find something inmon after we get to know each other."
Xiaojun sat on the seat again. He was careful as he observed the man. Long Shan wore a traditional ck with red stripes Hanfu for a man. He looked majestic, like an emperor in hiszy day.
His gaze was sharp and deep. It prated Xiaojun''s marrow bone. But Xiaojun also noticed a worry in his eyes, maybe some kind of nervousness, "Master Long, I wonder what causes you to stop me from leaving."
''Because you are my moon rabbit'' Long Shan thought, but he shook his head and replied with, "I just think that it would be better if we know each other. Since my territory is far and wide, it would collide with your expansion again in the future. So it is better if we are in a good term."
"I see" Xiaojun stared at Long Shan, ''Aww he is not going to confess''
Xiaojun looked around the simple room and saw many carved wood statues and some bonsai trees that were well maintained. He asked, "Master Long seems to be a treasurer of serenity."
"A-Ah yes, I love carving small statues, taking care of my bonsai trees, and my flower garden," Long Shan had a faint blush on his cheek, "It may sound too feminine for a man like me, but I appreciate the beauty in serenity, indeed."
Xiaojun also found that funny. Most of the time, Mafia bosses'' favorite hobby was a woman andvish lifestyle. Like the rest of those rich people, they would waste their money buying a yacht and y with many women on the deck. They would also flock their money to social media as if it was nothing.
Xiaojun hated that. He always thought that a vain lifestyle was not his style at all. In fact, Xiaojun still didn''t have an official social media ount on weibo. It was only him and his anonym ount to read BL books and many things online.
He noticed that it was rare for someone as powerful and wealthy as Long Shan to be mostly unknown and stayed anonymous. Long Shan must have controlled the media to stop any press about him.
At least, he and Long Shan had something inmon.
"Not at all, Master Long," Xiaojun smiled sincerely, "I think that your hobby is very exquisite and beautiful. I also noticed that carved sign on your door, Tao Yuanming''s poem, wasn''t it?"
Long Shan widened his eyes, "You know about Tao Yuanming?!"
"But of course," Xiaojun smiled, "I love reading many books since I was a kid, and I''ve read some of Tao Yuanming''s poetry. I think I still remember the next line of that part you carved on the door"
At dusk, the mountain air is good.
Flocks of flying birds are returning home.
In this, there is a great truth.
But wanting to exin it, I forget the words.
Long Shan was astonished by Xiaojun''s ability to recite an old, traditional poem. His allies and enemies sent women or men to woo him in any way possible, but they always used the crude seduction method that only disgusted Long Shan.
But this person seduced him beautifully by reciting the poem that he loved wlessly. He looked at Xiaojun, who still had a sincere smile on his face as if it was no big deal.
Long Shan''s heart beat faster. Maybe this was the right time to show his real hobby.
He gulped as he asked Xiaojun;
"Do you want to see my chrysanthemum garden?"
Chapter 20: Chrysanthemum Garden (1)
Chapter 20: Chrysanthemum Garden (1)
"Do you want to see my chrysanthemum garden?"
"That"
Xiaojun gulped. His mind had truly travelled far and wide when Long Shan said that. He was an avid reader of that website, Chrysanthemum Garden, to read many tranted BL books. Did this mean Long Shan was also a Fudanshi and love reading BL books like him?
''Aiyo, no, no, no, of course not! How could a powerful man have a weird hobby like that?'' Xiaojun denied.
As an avid BL fan, of course, Xiaojun knew what chrysanthemum meant in the boys love world. Xiaojun started imagining Long Shan collecting many cute boys for his collection in a garden. He gulped, ''DDon''t tell me that Long Shan has a fetish of collecting many shous and putting them together in a room? DDon''t tell me that he ys with all of them at the same time! Oh my goddd! Long Shan is so lecherous! Lasvicious! Immoral! Nasty!''
Xiaojun stood from the chair and gulped once more. He tried to reject the offer, "II think, I don''t need to see the chrysanthemum garden."
"Huh? But why? You will see many beautiful chrysanthemums," Long Shan smiled gently, "I''ve collected them and personally taking care of them until they are big, like my own child. I love how beautiful the chrysanthemums are."
''OH MY GOD! SO LECHEROUS! SO PERVERTED! I CAN''T EVEN COMPREHEND! THIS IS THE WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF PERVERSENESS!''
"YYou like taking care of them? DDid you shower them with money?" Xiaojun carefully took another step back.
"Well, in order to take care of them, I do need plenty of money," Long Shan affirmed, "But it is worth it, considering how beautiful they''ve bloom into."
''GODDD! HE IS A SUGAR DADDY! HE IS A SUGAR DADDY TO MANY YOUNG MEN! WHY AM I HERE ANYWAY? I NEED TO LEAVE SOON!''
Long Shan didn''t seem to notice the nervousness in Xiaojun. He was happy that someone might have appreciated all his small hobbies, especially this one, "I love chrysanthemum."
Xiaojun took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was already nervous at it right now, and Long Shan kept mentioning chrysanthemum only made him even more worried. It was like, he was being groomed, although their age gaps were only seven years old.
Since Long Shan was only 35 years old.
"I usually love to watch them grow and bloom into beautiful chrysanthemums. However, I do sometimes pick them and fiddle with them. I love arranging many chrysanthemums as once as they bloom together"
"I also love giving them to my colleagues, though they don''t seem to appreciate it much. Maybe they just don''t know the beauty of a chrysanthemum," Long Shan said, then he gazed at Xiaojun with a warm gaze, "I''m d that I found a fellow admirer."
''Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no'' Xiaojun already eyed the door. He wanted to leave as soon as possible, ''Not only he collects young men, he also offers them to his colleagues! Is he a pimp?!''
"My favourite chrysanthemums are pink and red ones, especially pink ones, though. It''s so beautiful," Long Shan said.
''I think mine is still pink'' Xiaojun seemed to ponder a bit, ''WAIT! WHY DID I THINK ABOUT THAT!? I''M NOT A PERVERT!''
Xiaojun shook his head, and he took another step back, intending to leave soon.
Long Shan stood from his chair and walked towards Xiaojun, who was fidgety as if he wanted to run away again. Long Shan chuckled. Happily, he thought that Xiaojun must be quite weirded out by his hobby.
Since Long Shan was the Master of Long Family, the influential and probably one of the most powerful mafia family in the country, it would be weird for him to have this kind of gentle hobby.
But he loved it nheless. He was the admirer of gentle beauty and simplicity.
Wood carvings, poetries, calligraphy, flower arranging and gardening, and many more. In fact, he never liked to fight, but he had the capability if he needed to.
Long Shan grabbed Xiaojun''s hand gently, his warm palm engulfed Xiaojun''s hand as he pulled him to the back of the house;
"Come on, don''t be embarrassed. I will show you my collection."
''GYAHHH! NO, I DON''T WANT TO BE DEFLOWERED HERE! THIS IS TOO FAST. WE ARE NOT EVEN MARRIED YET! AHHHH, MAMA, I''M SORRY BUT I CANT KEEP MY VIRGINITY UNTIL I GOT MARRIED!''
''LONG SHAN, YOU BETTER MARRY ME AFTER YOU TAKE MY VIRGINITY! BECAUSE I NEED YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR BABY!''
Xiaojun was in full-on panic mode. He started spouting random stuff. He wanted to struggle, but Long Shan indeed had enormous strength. He was pulled to the back of the house, and then Long Shan slid the door open.
"This is my chrysanthemum garden."
Xiaojun closed his eyes to avoid seeing nasty things. He thought he would hear many young men greeting their master with their sweet and seductive voice. But it was silence.
Xiaojun slowly opened his eyes to check whether he was dreaming or what. But there was no young man in the backyard.
Instead, it was full of winter chrysanthemums, blooming beautifully, surviving harsh winters. It was well taken care of and was colourful.
"What do you think? Do you like my Chrysanthemum garden?" Long Shan asked.
Somehow, Xiaojun was even more disappointed after imagining that lewd Chrysanthemum garden in his imagination.
"Yes, Master Long, it is indeed really beautiful"
Chapter 21: Chrysanthemum Garden (2)
Chapter 21: Chrysanthemum Garden (2)
"Yes, Master Long, it is indeed really beautiful"
''Somehow, I''m more disappointed than just seeing a bunch of naked young men greeting Long Shan...'' Xiaojun sighed. He was not sure about his feeling either, but he was both relieved and disappointed at the same time.
But honestly, the chrysanthemum garden was lovely. Since Long Shan said that he took care of the garden personally, that showed how Long Shan had a very gentle touch. Despite his huge figure and enormous strength, Long Shan was careful enough to clip the flowers and arrange them beautifully.
Long Shan pulled Xiaojun to enter the garden and said, "I will show you the way."
Xiaojun quietly stepped to the white garden. Since the snow was yet to be melted, they were walking carefully in order not to slip. Xiaojun could feel the gentle warmth of Long Shan engulfed his hand. He wanted to ask Long Shan to release his hand, but it seemed that Long Shan enjoyed it very much and didn''t intend to free his hand anytime soon.
''I guess it''s alright'' Xiaojun thought.
They walked through the intricate garden, and Long Shan pointed at the arranged pink chrysanthemums on the garden. The flowers were ced in pots sitting on the spiral steel case, so there were about four pots with pink chrysanthemums blooming closely to each other.
"I''ve just finished arranging these chrysanthemums two days ago. I intentionally let them grow closer together, so once they bloom, it looked like a natural flower bouquet," Long Shan said. He chuckled a bit, "Originally, I want to give this to Liling. But she is not into my hobby. In fact, she is never into any gentle hobby."
Long Shan sighed as he remembered what Liling did, "She is into fighting as she has been a fierce girl since she was a kid. I still remember there was a boy that liked her, but she challenged him on a duel. If he won, then Liling would dly submit to him. But if he lost, then he would be her underling."
"And the result?" Xiaojun got curious suddenly.
Long Shan sighed, "She has another underling after that fight."
"Ahahahaha," Xiaojun couldn''t help butugh. He remembered what Liling did at that park before. If she could defeat four burly men without breaking a sweat, then what was a young and inexperienced man for her?
"Liling is already sixteen, she will turn seventeen soon, and all she did is running around, creating havoc, fighting in that underground fight club. She also barely study, thinking that her strength will clear everything. I know that she inherits my prowess, but I just hope she can be a bit moredylike"
Xiaojun smiled at Long Shan, who looked worried. It was clearly shown in his face that he was concerned about the future of his daughter, Long Liling. It was normal for a father to be worried about his daughter''s safety and future, especially since Liling was a beautiful girl.
Xiaojun also had expectations from his parents, especially histe father. Histe father was a strict man who had expectations of Xiaojun bing a great heir and master of the Feng family in the future. He was not exactly a tiger parent, but his pressuring expectation could be frustrating some times.
He didn''t want Liling to grow up suppressed like him. Thus, he turned his body towards Long Shan. He tried to pat Long Shan''s shoulder, but he was not tall enoughpared to the towering Long Shan. Thus Xiaojun''s handnded on Long Shan''s firm chest and patted his chest gently.
Long Shan was surprised. He stared down at Xiaojun, who had a gentle smile that melted his heart. Shan''s heart started beating faster as Xiaojun patted his chest.
"Master Long, remember that Liling is your beloved daughter, no matter how. She might not fit your expectation, but she has never crossed the lines. Has she ever been involved in a gang fight? Drugs? No, right?" Xiaojun recalled how his father was strict enough to limit his friend circle because he was afraid that Xiaojun would be influenced by bad friends.
"I think it is best to just watch Liling grow. We should sit on the side and let her understand by herself. Just be sure to guard her whenever she is going to do something dangerous and illegal."
"If you are worried about her study, then you should tell her slowly. I know how important study is," Xiaojun nodded and joked, "Or do you want me to tell and teach her? Like a good mother? Ahahaha," Xiaojunughed.
Long Shan''s heart beat even faster, he asked out of whim, "Do you want to be her mother?"
Xiaojun giggled. It seemed that Long Shan also started joking around with him, "Well, I''m needy. I want a grand marriage for our wedding. I also want our own home separated from this Long Mansion, with Liling, of course. In exchange, I will teach Liling to focus on her study."
"I can fill all that" Long Shan said seriously. He circled Xiaojun''s waist with his hand and pulled him closer.
"Ahahaha, Master Long is surely good at joki"
Xiaojun opened his eyes but was surprised when he saw how close Long Shan''s face to his was. He could feel Long Shan''s breath as he kissed the edge of Xiaojun''s lips gently.
"I can fill that requirement, Moon rabbit."
Chapter 22: Chrysanthemum Garden (3)
Chapter 22: Chrysanthemum Garden (3)
"I can fill that requirement, Moon rabbit."
""
''Okay, I have three options right now.''
1. Run.
2. Run away.
3. Run the fuck away!''
Xiaojun was about to just dash away and left Long Shan eating the dust, acting like nothing ever happened today. He said nothing at all. He was currently sleeping in his bed after reading a BL smut after a long day in the office.
Xiaojun honestly had no intention to romance Long Shan from the start. Maybe because of the fact that Long Shan is the Master of Long Family, one of the strongest mafia families in the whole country despite his gentle hobbies. It was too dangerous!
''Imagine if me, Feng Xiaojun, the Master of Feng Family, CEO of Feng group, actually got married to Long Shan, the Master of Long Family, one of the strongest mafia families in the country''
Xiaojun started imagining himself with Long Shan, sitting inside Long Shan''s mansion, taking care of chrysanthemums together, wood carving together, and reciting poems together
And then, Liling mighte and nagged them, especially nagged Xiaojun, to teach her about her study. Long Shan would smile at him to teach his daughter how to be a properdy and rub his head while continuing cutting the stem of some flowers
''Wait, that''s actually a great BL material''
''In fact, it looks like a very harmonious couple''
As Xiaojun''s imagination started flying here and there, he shook his head and wanted to outright reject Long Shan''s proposal. He was the CEO of Feng Group. He held the importance of many livelihoods under him, and he was the face of the Feng Family.
If he came out of the closet not, he predicted that everything would go haywire, stock plummeting, tarnished legacy and hatefulments about his family on social media. Xiaojun was not ready to see hispany go bankrupt and destroy the lives of thousands of families who were dependent on thepany.
All just because of his ego toe out of the closet
Xiaojun shook his head, and he raised his head. He wanted to say no, but when he saw Long Shan''s loving gaze, he paused on the spot.
Long Shan was naturally a scary man, with thick sword eyebrows, sharp facial features and that deep gaze that would make everyone cower in fear. Xiaojun experienced it the first time he met Long Shan.
But the same man was now currently smiling at him with such gentle, loving gaze. A gaze as delicate as cherry blossom flowers, Xiaojun didn''t have the heart to reject him like this.
''Ah goddamn it! This is unfair! How am I supposed to reject you if you give me that kind of gaze!'' Xiaojunined in his heart.
Xiaojun looked down and finally realized that Long Shan had pulled him to his embrace because what separated them right now was only their clothes. He blushed instantly.
''Oh god, how can I realize this just now! He stole my first kiss!'' Xiaojun felt like he was a pure maiden that had been defiled by a handsome bandit. He wanted to act as if he was disgusted but could not because he actually enjoyed it, hehe.
''Wait, he only kissed the edge of my lips does that count as a first kiss or not? I never have a kiss in my life, except with some handsome celebrity posters I secretly bought in high school''
Xiaojun seemed to ponder for a long time, and Long Shan only chuckled. His moon rabbit must have been worried in his heart, knowing their powerful statuses. But it was the least of Long Shan''s worry. He didn''t want to pressure Xiaojun like this. He just wanted to release the tension in his heart.
But he needed to confirm two things, "Moon Rabbit, I don''t want to pressure you about my proposal, but I want to ask you two things"
"First, do you have at least a slight interest in men? And second, do you feel disgusted after our kiss?" Long Shan asked gently.
'' the first answer is yes, I''m like full time, full-blown gay, good sir,'' Xiaojun replied in his heart, ''And second is no, I don''t feel disgusted at all''
"I I don''t feel disgusted after that kiss, and I" Xiaojun blushed. He didn''t know if telling this to Long Shan was the correct way, but the way he asked so gently made Xiaojun''s heart melt into a puddle, "I might have a slight interest with men just a bit though"
Long Shan was finally happy and released Xiaojun, "Alright then, I know you might not feel the same way as me right now, because love needs to flow naturally, like a river slowly corroding the stone."
Long Shan gave Xiaojun a pink chrysanthemum and said, "Let me court you in my way. My name is Long Shan, Shan was written as mountain, and my will is as strong as the mountain. Including my will to make you fall in love with me, Moon Rabbit."
Xiaojun subconsciously epted the chrysanthemum, not knowing that he had epted Long Shan''s courting with this gesture. Long Shan smiled and said, "Do you want to return home now? Or you want to apany me in this chrysanthemum garden? I will take care of the pink chrysanthemum of yours if you want to stay."
Long Shan was innocently talking about the chrysanthemum in Xiaojun''s hand, but Xiaojun''s mind had been travelling far and wide to the BLnd, and he clenched his butt cheeks immediately.
"II will leave now, thank you for the chrysanthemum, Master Long!"
Xiaojun hurriedly left the chrysanthemum garden, leaving Long Shan, who chuckled lightly. He felt that his heart had been warmed but such a tingling sensation he never felt before. Long Shan put his hand on his heart, feeling his own heartbeat;
"So this is love what a wondrous sensation"
***
Xiaojun texted Shi Qiang, telling her that he was already in the car. Shi Qiang returned to the car with a t expression, as usual.
However, when she entered the car and saw her boss, she frowned andmented;
"Boss, your face is really red, like a boiled shrimp."
"And what is that pink chrysanthemum in your hand? Did you pick it somewhere?"

Chapter 23: CEO x CEO (1)
After meeting with Long Shan, he got a flower on his desk with a small poem written by Long Shan the following day. Today''s flower was a rose that Long Shan grew himself. Xiaojun opened the poem and read it in his heart.
Today I see a butterfly perched on a flower in my dream.
Its wings fluttered few times before peacefully settled down.
But when I want to catch it, it escaped, circling around my head before leaving.
I wonder if you cane to my dream again as a butterfly, Feng Xiaojun.
- Long Shan.
Xiaojun blushed when he read the poem, it was so cheesy, but it did make his heart flutter. He tried hard to hold his blooming smile, especially when Shi Qiang came inside his room to deliver his morning coffee,
"Sir, if you want to smile, just smile," Shi Qiang said nonchntly while putting the coffee on the table, "I can see you are trying so hard to look cool."
"SSecretary Shi, who deliver this flower and notes on my desk today?" Xiaojun asked.
"I did. I was on my way to the office, then suddenly, I saw two burly men standing in front of the office and remembered my face. They handed the flower and the notes to me, saying that their boss wants to deliver this to his moon rabbit, and they left," Shi Qiang exined, and then she sighed, "Seriously, am I missing something here? How did you turn Long Shan, the Master of Long Family, into a gay? I mean, I haven''t seen him, but he has a daughter, right?"
"Yes"
"I mean, maybe he is bisexual, but still" Shi Qiang inspected her boss'' handsome face andmented, "Well, boss, you are indeed very handsome. I just don''t expect that a mafia boss would like another gong-like man. I thought, he would at least like gentle beauties"
Xiaojun shrugged, "Well I don''t know either"
"So, do you want to marry him or what?"
"WHAT?!" Xiaojun''s eyes almost popped out of its socket, "Secretary Shi, do you know how impossible that is?!"
"Impossible? I mean, I''m sure everything will be alright," Shi Qiang shrugged, "Besides, sir, you are not nning to marry any woman, right?"
"No"
"Then, in the future, you will settle down with a man. I''m just saying that you should not close the door to opportunity in front of you," Shi Qiang saw how her boss seemed to be in deep thinking, and she felt proud of herself.
Because it would be a lifetime achievement for a fujoshi like her, to match two guys and see them get married, ''I will make sure that Boss Feng marries the man he loves! This is the fujoshi oath!''
"Well, I''m not yet in love with anyone right now, so let''s just set that aside," Xiaojun said.
"Yes, sir. After all, love cannot be forced. You might fall in love with Long Shan or maybe someone else in the future," Shi Qiang said.
Xiaojun nodded. He wanted to ask about today''s schedule before he got a text message.
Ding!
Xiaojun unlocked his phone and saw a text message under the name ''Zhu''er.''
Xiaojun smiled and read the message.
*Zhu''er - 08.20 a.m
Good morning, XiaoXiao. I am currently working on a movie set. It''s hectic these days, I have to carry the heavy camera everywhere when filming!
I hope you are doing well with your office job! Don''t get scolded by your boss!*
Xiaojun giggled when he got the text message, Zhu''er said that he was just a cameraman on the movie set, and it was a hard job. Somehow, Xiaojun felt guilty that he lied to Zhu''er because he said that he was just a regr office worker instead of the CEO of Feng Group, Feng Xiaojun.
But it could not be helped, right? Zhu''er would definitely turn his back when he knew that he faced Feng Xiaojun instead of XiaoXiao, his biggest fan.
Xiaojun texted back and then put his phone down, "Secretary Shi, what is today schedule?" he asked.
"We have a meeting with Jiang Group again, sir. But this is rather a private meeting, Jiang Jinxing said that he will personallye to meet you, and he said that he would not bete this time."
Like a thunder that struck him in the morning, Xiaojun froze on the spot, "JJJJinxing?!"
"Yes, sir. He said that he cannot contact you at all no matter how much he tried, so Jiang Jinxing asked me to set out a schedule for you two," Shi Qiang replied.
""
Xiaojun remembered how he heartbrokenly blocked Jinxing''s phone number, also blocked him of all social media ount and online messaging because he was too embarrassed and heartbroken at the same time.
And now, he must see him again? Xiaojun gulped.
"SSecretary Shi, do you think I will die painlessly if I drink a rat poison before the meeting?"
***
"Cut! That''s great acting, as expected from our film emperor, Sun Zhu!" Sun Zhu put down his prop sword and walked to his seat. He was currently filming a XianXia or eastern fantasy novel. That scene was when he, as the protagonist, got ckened.
He sat in his seat and opened his phone. There was a text from his XiaoXiao.
*XiaoXiao 08.22
Uwaaa! Zhu''er fighting! >///w//< XiaoXiao will support you and your hard work! Don''t forget a hot patch after a tiring day. It will help to relieve your muscle ache! I am currently working, my boss is so scary!*
Sun Zhu chuckled when he read the text message. XiaoXiao said that he was just a regr office worker. That must have been hard.
Honestly, Sun Zhu felt guilty for lying about his real job, but XiaoXiao might back off if he knew that Zhu''er was actually Sun Zhu, the film emperor. Besides, if XiaoXiao knew how crazy his fans could be, it would be a mess.
''Well, in two days, I will meet my cute XiaoXiao, hehe~.''

Chapter 24: CEO x CEO (2)
Shi Qiang frowned at Boss Feng, who seemed to be so shocked by her information, "Sir, it is just a simple private lunch meeting with Mr Jiang Jinxing from Jiang Group. I don''t think you will be signing a billion-dor contract with him anytime soon. Why are you so nervous?"
Feng Xiaojun took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Well, you see, when he told me that he had a girlfriend, I was so heartbroken. It was heartbreaking that I cut all my contact with him and blocked his number. I also blocked Whatsapp, Weibo, Line, literally everything.
" Is this because you got heartbroken?"
"Yes!"
"Sir, I know this will offend you but screw it," Shi Qiang mmed her documents on Xiaojun''s desk and raised her voice towards Xiaojun, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? JIANG JINXING IS AN IMPORTANT PARTNER FOR YOUR FENG GROUP!"
Xiaojun took the document and covered his head with it, "Wuwuwu, I''m so sorryyy. I was so embarrassed and heartbroken! I just want to be a bit dramatic!"
Shi Qiang sighed as she sat on the guest chair, facing Xiaojun''s chair, "Sir, this is clearly immature and unprofessional behaviour. You should not mix your feeling with work," Shi Qiang scolded like a big sister scolding her naughty little brother.
"I know I just don''t know how to exin it to Jinxing," Xiaojun said, "Maybe I should just say that I''ve changed phone number?"
"That won''t work, Sir. Because I said that your number hasn''t changed," Shi Qiang replied curtly.
"Secretary Shi! Why have you forsaken me?! Aaaaaahh!" Xiaojun ruffled his permed hair, "Where is the location for our private lunch?" Xiaojun asked.
"He didn''t tell. He just said that his car will wait on time," Shi Qiang replied. She sighed and added, "Sir, just said that there is an unspeakable reason why you can''t contact him. But it''s all good now."
Xiaojun''s worried eyes darted at Shi Qiang instantly, and he felt as if he saw an oasis in the middle of a harsh desert, "SSecretary Shi! That''s genius! I will not out myself with that, and everything will be well again!"
Xiaojun wanted to hug Shi Qiang, but Shi Qiang dodged and said, "I''m sorry, sir, but I do not kiss a man that will never be my romantic interest."
Though Shi Qiang refused the hug, Xiaojun still awarded her by writing her a cheque worth half of her monthly wage, "Secretary Shi, this is for" Shi Qiang snatched it from Xiaojun''s hand and said;
"Yes, Sir! Thank you so much!" Shi Qiang said as the rare smile finally bloomed on her.
***
Feng Xiaojun was pacing around his desk anxiously. He kept looking on his watch and asked Secretary Shi whether Jinxing had arrived. Surprisingly, Shi Qiang told Xiaojun that Jiang Jinxing already parked his car in the lobby, waiting for him toe.
Xiaojun gulped and said to Secretary Shi, "Secretary Shi if I die in this war, cremate me and all my BL collection. So I can still read BL in the afterlife."
Shi Qiang rolled her eyes, ''So dramatic.''
Xiaojun strode stiffly into the lobby. He saw Jinxing was standing in the lobby wearing a blue suit. His sunny face that Xiaojun loved so much and that box smile still stunned Xiaojun to the core.
''Ah this is bad for my heart. Jinxing''s appearance is totally my type'' Xiaojun thought. He finally stopped in front of Jinxing and bowed his head, "Mr Jiang Jinxing is here. I''m sorry to make you wait."
Jinxing shook his head and maintained his box smile, "Not at all! Mr Feng is too polite. This is just a private lunch for us!"
Everyone in the lobby acted as if they didn''t see the handsome Mr Feng and the sunny Mr Jiang, but in fact, their ears were eavesdropping on everything.
Xiaojun blushed at Jinxing''s frankness. He grabbed Jinxing''s hand to leave the lobby. Jinxing giggled as they entered the car and drove through the afternoon traffic. Xiaojun nced at Jinxing, who was smiling from the moment they met again up until now, "Mr Jiang, where do you want to take me for lunch? Is there something important that you need? You should discuss it in a formal meeting if you stumble upon a problem in our business."
Jinxing shook his head and replied, "Everything is good, our business is good, just one thing"
The car stopped when it''s red light, and Jinxing turned his head to Xiaojun, who got nervous instantly. Xiaojun lowered his head out of nervousness when Jinxing asked, "Xiao-Ge, why can''t I contact you after we visit that cat caf? Are you angry with me for something?"
Xiaojun''s heart paused for a second when Jinxing called him Xiao-Ge. He wanted to make it not so personal between them. But Xiaojun felt ufortable because he knew that Jinxing was not gay. Calling him endearingly only made his heart wavered.
Especially with that deadly box smile.
"WWell Mr Jiang"
"Call me Xingan," Jinxing said. His tone was demanding, and it made Xiaojun deted in shame instantly, "My small name is Xingan. Xiao-Ge, I want to know you better please call me Xingan, okay?"
Xiaojun raised his head slowly and saw Jinxing pouted at him cutely.
SLASH! STAB! BOOM!
KO.
''Oh, Buddha, take me now.''
Xiaojun got mentally attacked with such an image that he almost got a nosebleed, "WWell, if that''s what you want Xingan"
Jinxing was satisfied with Xiaojun''s answer, and he nodded, "Then, Xiao-Ge, why did you blocked my number? Did I do something wrong? I was so desperate trying to contact you"
"Ahh about that" Xiaojun nced at Jinxing, whose eyes turned into puppy eyes. Jinxing was very expressive and didn''t seem to be scared of showing his feeling. It waspletely different from Xiaojun, who often restrained himself and his hobby.
Xiaojun gulped, this misunderstand shouldn''t be prolonged. Thus, he took a deep breath and replied, "About that I"
Chapter 25: CEO x CEO (3)
Chapter 25: CEO x CEO (3)
"About that I"
HONK!
Xiaojun jolted when the car behind honked at them. Turned out, the traffic light was already green. Jinxing sighed and said, "We will continue thister.
He resumed driving. Though, he didn''t seem to be focused on driving because
Jinxing''s hand suddenly slipped from the shift andnded on Xiaojun''s thigh. Xiaojun jolted slightly but decided not to overreact. Because Jinxing''s warm palm just rested on Xiaojun''s thigh, he didn''t seem to try doing anything weird.
''Oh my god! Oh my god! No, no, this must be because of slipping! His hand must have been slipping from the gear shift!'' Xiaojun was trying his best to hide his reaction. He looked outside to distract himself, but before he could forget the image of Jinxing''s smile, Jinxing said first;
"Xiao-Ge we are here."
The car entered an office building and the skyscraper office building owned by onepany, Jiang Group. Turned out, Jinxing brought him to his office.
Xiaojun thought they would go to a restaurant, or at least, a caf, but this
"Why are we here?" Xiaojun asked.
"I will show you something!" Jinxing said enthusiastically. He drove the car straight to the private parking lot dedicated for Jinxing. The car entered a big lift, and they ascended to floor 55, where the whole floor was reserved for Jinxing only.
Xiaojun watched in awe as he witnessed how truly privileged Jinxing was.
The whole floor was dedicated solely for him, with no panel or partition. It was basically a huge apartment with its own carport that used a lift to go to the ground floor. There was a balcony with a wide pool and even a pet yroom on the balcony.
Xiaojun was a rich second generation, of course. But he would not spend so much on luxury. Something like this was not in his dictionary. If the whole floor in his office was used for something like this, Xiaojun would definitely scold the contractor and told him to make it another office.
But Feng Family was a middle-level billionaire in China before Feng Xiaojun took over the businesses and expanded it rapidly, making it one of the top three most affluent families.
And Jinxing? Well, his family was always in the top three since decades ago. Jinxing was the true definition of the gold spoon. It seemed that he would continue the legacy of the Jiang Family really well.
''It is not surprising that he can afford all this without batting an eye, but for me, this is still a bit too much.''
Jinxing came out of the car with Xiaojun, and two cats greeted them in front of the car lift. Jinxing smiled and picked one of them, a white cat, "This is my cat, Xiao-Ge, her name is Elizabeth."
The white cat meowed and snuggled with Jinxing. Meanwhile, there was a ck cat who stared up at Xiaojun. He meowed a few times and patted Xiaojun''s ankle with his paw. Xiaojun finally picked him up, and Jinxing said, "It seems Jumin-Han likes you, Xiao-Ge." Jinxing smiled.
''Jumin-Han? That name sounds familiar'' Xiaojun recalled, ''It might be from a game''
Jumin-Han snuggled on Xiaojun''s embrace, and Jinxing''s box smile appeared, "Ah, how unexpected. Jumin-Han usually hates any human other than me. He only likes that kind-hearted cleaning aunty thates every two days."
Jinxing giggled, "Maybe Xiao-Ge is actually a cold looking but soft-hearted man? Because Jumin-Han hates people with a dark heart."
Xiaojun gulped. He looked down at the cat who was snuggling peacefully on his arm.
Jinxing chuckled and walked to the kitchen to prepare something, "Xiao-Ge, you can sit and watch tv or something first. I need to prepare for our lunch."
Xiaojun frowned, "We are not going to eat outside?"
Jinxing blinked as he hung his suit, rolled his sleeve and wore a blue apron, "Why? I just want to show you my cooking skill."
Jinxing took out a few ingredients from the fridge and started preparing. Xiaojun sat at the dinner table, watching Jinxing preparing food diligently, like a good wife. He couldn''t help himself but ask, "Mr Jia"
"Xingan." Jinxing interrupted to warn Xiaojun.
"Ah yes, Xingan, when did you learn how to cook? Jiang Family is an old-money family. I thought you would never touch a kitchen table, let alone cooking"
Jinxing chuckled as he continued dicing beef, "My parents are very busy and rarelye home, but I was home-schooled until I finished middle school. So I was bored and often forced my house chef to teach me how to cool since I was fascinated by how he skilfully cook raw ingredients and turn them into a delicious meal."
"After many trial and errors, I finally cooked my first meal, a beef stew. I give it to my loved ones, my mom and dad, and they loved it."
"Nowadays, I rarely cook, but I do cook for my parents, and promised myself that I will cook because we naturally got busy, right? So I promise that I will cook only for myself and my loved ones."
Jinxing nced at Xiaojun with a thin smile and then continued cooking.
Xiaojun stared at Jinxing''s back, who was tied with the apron. From this angle, Xiaojun didn''t see Jiang Jinxing, the young CEO of Jiang group. Instead, he saw an ordinary young man who seemed to prefer a simple life.
''But still handsome nheless, hehe.''
Jinxing finished cooking a beef stew and ced it on the dinner table. He took off his apron and prepared two bowls of rice for them. After he put it on the table, he showed his box smile, as if he was satisfied with his simple cooking.
"Xiao-Ge, please dig out. I am very confident about my cooking!"
Xiaojun stared at the warm beef stew in front of him. He was even more unsure of Jinxing''s intention here, "Xiang, what is your intention? Is it about work?"
"Do you want to tell me that something happened between our business partnership?" Xiaojun asked. Jinxing was straight and was not interested in him, doing something like inviting a business partner inside your house and even cooking for him. It was too weird.
Xiaojun didn''t want to catch feelings, so he tried his best to distance himself from Jinxing.
But this
Jinxing stared at Xiaojun for a while, and he sighed, "Xiao-Ge, you really do not remember me? I deliberately showed you my tardiness, my love for cats, and even my cooking you don''t remember anything?"
" Huh?" Xiaojun tilted his head.
"Xiao-Ge maybe you don''t remember me because you were the male god of our Senior High, but it''s me I''m your number one fan and your Junior in high school, Xiang."
Chapter 26: Crushing on Senior Feng! (1)
Chapter 26: Crushing on Senior Feng! (1)
Jinxing recalled the beautiful high school life he had when he was young. Jinxing was just a shy kid since he was homeschooled until he graduated from junior high by taking a test together with other junior high students.
However, since he was a smart kid since he was young, he elerated one year earlier than his peers. He entered high school at the age of fourteen. Since he begged his parents to study in public school, he finally entered a private senior high school dedicated solely to rich kids with their astronomical amount of yearly tuition.
But for Jiang Mother and Father, the money was nothingpared to their son''s safety. Since Jinxing was a timid and reserved kid, he didn''t know how to make friends. Jinxing wanted to experience the regr life of a student instead of a caged canary.
But on the first day of student orientation, he was veryte. He arrived at the school two hourste, simply because his parents didn''t want him to get bullied, so they needed to call ten private bodyguards with three cars following his bulletproof car.
''Will I bete? I don''t know if it''s okay to bete. The teachers in my house usually waited until I''m in the mood to study first'' teenage Jinxing pondered.
With the loud sound of four cars entering the schoolyard, all new students automatically looked at the scrawny young master that came out of that ck car, awkwardly standing and froze as he found out that he was veryte.
"Boo! Boo! Sote!" every new student started booing at Jinxing, who was veryte for the student orientation.
Bodyguards started shielding the small young master, but it only made Jinxing even more scared, his leg was trembling, and he almost cried on the spot.
The headmaster was an old man, but he knew well this scrawny boy was Jiang Jinxing of Jiang Family. He was an important donator for the school, "Silence, new students!"
Everybody was silenced, the headmaster wanted to just let this slip, but it would give him a bad rep of someone who prioritized the richest over the other. Thus he said, "New student since you are veryte, I should give you a punishment. Feng Xiaojun, go apany him and find a proper punishment."
The headmaster appointed the dreamy student council president Feng Xiaojun to apany Jinxing. Feng Xiaojun was a senior that was famed for his brain and handsome looks. He was so handsome that he got scouted by many modelling agencies, though he refused them all.
Xiaojun walked towards the scrawny boy and said, "Come with me."
Jinxing looked up to the tall student council president. He had brooding eyes and a face that should be stered on every magazine. Jinxing felt embarrassed for staring at this guy for too long.
"All of you, leave now, tell my parents that I am alright now," Jinxing said to his bodyguards.
"But young master"
"Leave now, or I will deduct your sries."
***
Jinxing followed Xiaojun, who led him to the back of the school. Jinxing stared at Xiaojun''s wide ocean shoulder from behind, and he felt a bit weird in his heart. Because truthfully, he loved this aesthetic, such a fine senior!
Jinxing still didn''t understand sexual orientation and such because he was a caged canary, but if he wanted to spend his life with someone, then it must be with this type of senior!
Xiaojun led Jinxing to the back of the school. He sat on a bench under the lush tree. He took something out of his pocket, a book with a nk cover, supposedly hiding the title of the book. Xiaojun sat under the tree and started reading.
Jinxing stood stupidly. After a while, he took a deep breath and braced himself to ask Xiaojun, "SSenior what is my punishment?"
"Punishment?" Xiaojun frowned, "Well, honestly, I just want to take a breather. You know, I have been preparing for the student orientation for the whole day, and I still have to stand, listening to the headmaster as well."
Xiaojun had a thin smile on his face and patted the spot beside him, "Let''s just pretend that I''ve punished you,e and sit down."
Jinxing was pleasantly surprised with such kindness. Senior Feng Xiaojun looked cold and domineering outside, but he was actually a gentle senior.
Jinxing hesitatingly sat beside Xiaojun, feeling the gentle breeze of early summer wind.
They were sitting together under the tree until Jinxing asked, "Um Senior, what kind of book you are reading? It has no cover?"
"Ah! Oh hm it''s just an ordinary philosophy book for self-development," Xiaojun said, "I like to read a quality book, the one that would develop your thinking process."
"Wow!" Jinxing got excited immediately, "I also read some philosophy book when I was in elementary school! Senior Feng, have you ever read cher? Thomas Kuhn? Or you are more into ancient philosophy like Aristoteles and to?"
Xiaojun gulped. He was silenced for a while. As he nced at Jinxing''s sparkly eyes, he rubbed Jinxing head instead, "Ah, I like them all. I just read this book in the meantime," Xiaojun said while dodging Jinxing''s eyes.
"Whoaaa Senior Feng is so amazing! I can''t believe that you''ve all those books! I thought I''m the only one that has finished all of them!" Jinxing praised as if he just saw his idol.
Xiaojun felt weirdly intimidated and closed his book, "YYes, it''s really good for your mind"
Jinxing kept staring at Xiaojun like a fan staring at his idol, which made Xiaojun a tad ufortable. To make it less awkward, he asked, "What is your name?"
"I''m" Jinxing wanted to say that his name was Jiang Jinxing. But he was afraid that Senior Feng would not be genuine to him if he knew his real name. Thus he said, "My name is Huang Xiang! Please call me Xiang, Senior Feng!"
"Huh, nice to meet you Xiang."
Chapter 27: Crushing on Senior Feng! (2)
Chapter 27: Crushing on Senior Feng! (2)
Jinxing told Xiaojun about their romantic encounter in high school. His eyes were sparkling, and he didn''t stop giggling, "At that moment, I was so awed by your coolness, Xiao-Ge! I didn''t know someone as cool as you would read a philosophy book like me!"
'' Should I tell him the book I read back then was about gay romance? I mean, I don''t remember reading any philosophy book, just lots of BL manga, gay romance, and magical girls?''
Xiaojun was silent, but he kept listening to Jinxing''s story.
***
After that fateful day, Jinxing wanted to talk to Senior Feng more. But Senior Feng was very busy and also extremely popr. Jinxing couldn''t get close to Senior Feng, knowing how rabid his fans were.
Days passed until one year of Jinxing acted like a stalker, silently gazing at the famous Senior Feng from afar. Each day, he could see how Senior Feng helped many people. Whether it was a man or woman, he would help them.
So Jinxing could only sigh while staring at the gorgeous Senior Feng.
Until Valentine came, and Senior Feng got tons of chocte that should be enough to feed his entire ss for two days straight.
Jinxing also had his chocte. He bought it two days ago when he flew to Belgium with a private jet to buy the chocte for Senior Feng.
He was a bit disheartened looking at the amount of chocte and gifts that Senior Feng got, but in the end, he braced himself and approached Senior Feng, who was washing his face after a physical education ss.
"SSenior Feng"
Xiaojun wiped his face with his shirt and then looked at the scrawny boy in front of him, "Ah you are Xiang, right? What''s up?"
Jinxing''s heart was beating faster when Senior Feng remembered his name. He blushed involuntarily and lowered his head, "TThat um this is valentine day and um I want to give you these"
Jinxing slowly handed a box of expensive-looking chocte and another box of beef stew.
Xiaojun frowned, "This is for me? Also, the beef stew?"
"YYes, I cooked it myself. I believe it will suit your taste, Senior Feng" Jinxing answered.
"Alright then, thank you," Xiaojun epted the gift. Before he could say anything, Jinxing ran away embarrassedly like a shoujo protagonist.
"Hm" honestly, Xiaojun was not interested in the chocte. He got a lot of chocte enough to be Willy Wonka. But he was interested in the beef stew.
Xiaojun opened the lid and used the chopstick to taste the beef stew. It was mind-blowingly amazing that he couldn''t even describe the taste, "Holy crap! This is amazing!"
Xiaojun was impressed and ate the whole stew. As someone who rarely ate home cooking, this beef stew melt in his mouth. He wanted to thank Jinxing, but he was already gone, and he didn''t know his ss as well, "Ah, well, I think I should wait until the white day to thank him for such nice stew."
On the white day, Jinxing saw Senior Feng didn''t seem to any gift for the girls that gifted him chocte during valentine. It was both a relief and grief for Jinxing.
He was secretly happy that Senior Feng didn''t seem to like anyone, but he was also sad because Senior Feng didn''t seem to put him in his eyes.
Until he saw Senior Feng under the same lush tree, he sat on the bench with a small box of white chocte and a lucky charm.
''Is he waiting for someone here?'' Jinxing thought. He doubted Senior Feng was waiting for him.
Senior Feng waited for more than an hour until he fell asleep on the bench. Jinxing started cursing the girl who let Senior Feng waited for more than one hour, ''What an ungrateful girl! Letting Senior Feng wait for so long!''
Jinxing felt that his heart was hurting for Senior Feng, so he approached Senior Feng to wake him up, "SSenior Feng"
Jinxing shook Senior Feng''s shoulder few times until Feng Xiaojun woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and saw the person he had been waiting for for more than an hour, "Ah, Xiang, where have you been? I have been waiting there for more than an hour."
Ba-dump!
Jinxing''s heart beat faster when Senior Feng said that "SSenior Feng is waiting for me?"
Xiaojun nodded, "Of course." Xiaojun handed the box of white chocte and a lucky charm shaped like a star, "I love your beef stew. It is a fantastic lunch for me. Thank you so much."
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Jinxing almost fainted out of excitement and embarrassment. But in the end, he epted it and said, "TThank you Senior Feng."
Xiaojun rubbed Jinxing''s head and said, "Well, I have to go now. I need to study a lot for Gaokao."
Xiaojun got up from the bench and left Jinxing.
Jinxing stared at the bench and quietly sat on the ce where Senior Feng sat before. It was still warm with the trace of Senior Feng''s light sandalwood perfume. It made Jinxing feel that he was sitting on Senior Feng''sp.
"Out of everyone, Senior Feng decided to give someone like me his white chocte"
Jinxing opened the box and ate the white chocte while imagining Senior Feng feeding him the chocte. He blushed again. He finally realized that Senior Feng was indeed his first love
Jinxing usually hated sweet chocte, but he could eat the entire sweet chocte and still crave more from this box.
Ah I want more''
Chapter 28: Should I tell him? (1)
Chapter 28: Should I tell him? (1)
"Back then, I don''t know how to say it to you," Jinxing sighed, "Right after that white day, all seniors suddenly became very busy due to iing Gaokao."
"Maybe Xiao-Ge didn''t remember it, but I often came to the library to peek on you," Jinxing admitted. His cheeks reddened slightly, "Do you remember when you are busy studying in the library every day, you often get homemade snacks and lunch?"
***
Young Jinxing was hiding behind a book rack, watching his male god, Feng Xiaojun, busy studying many subjects with a thin smile on his face. Jinxing couldn''t help but feel awe towards his male god.
''He is studying so much but didn''t seem to get tired nor stressed out. If I remember correctly, Senior Feng always topped the rank in the whole school, right? I bet that is because he studies so hard every day!''
Jinxing stared at the lunchbox in his hand. He cooked the lunch for Senior Feng today as well. In fact, he cooked for Senior Feng at least thrice a week. But he never wrote his name, nor he wanted to show his love for Senior Feng publicly.
Because he knew that Senior Feng was really popr. If he got entangled with a boy, that would be trouble for Senior Feng. Jinxing only wanted to show his love and admiration towards Senior Feng, not to destroy his future.
Thus, when Senior Feng closed his book and went to the bathroom, Jinxing always put the lunchbox beside Senior Feng''s book and left hurriedly. Usually, Senior Feng would eat everything and left the lunch box in the same position, and he would write a note for Jinxing.
''Thank you. May I know your name?''
Jinxing felt that his heart was about to explode whenever he got the note from Senior Feng. Senior Feng was really busy with much important stuff, and Gaokao, of course. Jinxing didn''t want to disturb him.
Besides, knowing so many women flocked around Senior Feng, he doubted that Senior Feng would ever see him romantically. Since Senior Feng seemed to be straight as a pole.
***
"Xiao-Ge, I know that you studied hard every day, so I don''t want to disturb you. I saw you reading many books, even books mostly for our teachers, you read everything. I have nothing but admiration for you," Jinxing said gleefully.
Jinxing stared at his Xiao-Ge with his hot gaze, full of love and admiration.
Meanwhile, Xiaojun was screaming in his heart. He recalled his days in high school when he was acting like a cold and indifferent male god because he was trying hard not to squeal at every strong student in the sports club, or the cute nerd in chess and math club, or the handsome underssman that happened to be a school idol, just like him.
''Well, I did be number one school idol though'' Xiaojun recalled his restrained life in high school and his Gaokao experience.
To be frank, Xiaojun aced in study effortlessly since elementary school and ranked second in the national Gaokao. He could get the first ce, but he got tired because he binged reading one BL fanfiction the night before Gaokao started. Hence, he got sleepy and didn''t try at all for thest few questions.
''I think I remembered Jinxing back then. But he ispletely different appearance-wise''
Xiaojun remembered his days spending every break in the library. He intentionally took as many books from the library as possible, then slipped the BL manga in the middle, then continued binging on BL books without worry.
Yes, Xiaojun never actually study even during Gaokao.
Xiaojun felt so wrong being worshipped by Jinxing, though he didn''t know that person back then was Jinxing. Jinxing back then was a scrawny, short boy. He wore thick prescription sses and always looked down for an unknown reason. It made him quite nd and forgettable.
''Should I tell him that I never studied in my life? Eh I feel like being praised for something I don''t do feels wrong yet so right, ehehehe.''
Jinxing pushed the beef stew towards Xiaojun again and said, "Please dig in. You might remember me after eating it!"
"Okay"
Xiaojun used a chopstick to take a piece of meat and eat it. He closed his eyes and immediately remembered this same taste that he had ten years ago. It was tender and juicy. He looked at Jinxing with stars in his eyes, "Ah, you really are that guy in High school! I love your cooking so much!"
Jinxing''s cheek reddened, and he lowered his gaze in embarrassment, "Uhm I''m d that Xiao-Ge loves it!"
Xiaojun devoured everything. It had been a while since he ate something homecooked.
Since he lived in an apartment alone, he decided to just order food from the nearest restaurant daily to save time.
Xiaojun smiled full of satisfaction when he ate Jinxing''s beef stew. And when he finished the te, he held Jinxing''s hand eagerly, "Please cook for me again in the future!"
Jinxing''s face was as red as a tomato. He nodded shyly. Like a little girl in love, Jinxing took a deep breath and confessed;
"Um Xiao-Ge."
"Yes, Xiang?" Xiaojun smiled.
"Well, I know this might be sudden, and you may feel disgusted. But it''s been in my heart for ten years already"
"I''ve been in love with you since high school, and that feeling never disappears. In fact, it grows stronger every year passed. Xiao-Ge, I know that you are a straight man. You won''t love a man."
"But I want to say I love you, Xiao-Ge."
"It''s okay if you don''t love me back because you are straight. But let me stay around you, alright?"
''Maybe someday you can open your heart for me, Xiao-Ge. I will try my best to make you realize how good I am!'' Jinxing thought optimistically.
""
''Should I tell him?'' Xiaojun considered.
Chapter 29: Should I tell him? (2)
Chapter 29: Should I tell him? (2)
''Should I tell him?'' Xiaojun considered.
Honestly, Xiaojun never outed himself except with Shi Qiang and perhaps Papa Dragon, ''I mean, Long Shan! Why did I call him papa dragon instead?!''
Xiaojun stared at Jinxing, whose eyes were bright and beautiful, and his box smile that could melt even the biggest iceberg. But Xiaojun was unsure.
Because he didn''t know what was Jinxing''s reaction when he learned that ''Feng Xiaojun'' in his imagination was not the same Feng Xiaojun in real life. True, in high school, he looked cool and mighty. Especially when a junior like Jinxing saw him. It must be like seeing a male god.
But truthfully, Xiaojun had been rotten long before.
He didn''t want to break the expectation of Jinxing, and he also wished Jinxing didn''t have too much hope in him.
Why?
''Hm why exactly'' Xiaojun pondered. Jinxing was indeed his type. He was handsome, fresh and cute, a hard worker, and a good cook. If he was straight, then all women would''ve flocked on him.
In fact, Jinxing didn''tck women who tried to chase him.
''Maybe because I''m really not sure about my feeling'' Xiaojun thought. He had been single his whole life and wasfortable with his little solitude with BL books. Though he would love to have a date in the future and even possibly married, he wanted to do it with someone he was sure he would spend his life with.
Maybe Jinxing was the man, maybe Long Shan, or maybe someone else in the future. He didn''t know.
''I mean if this is a BL rom novel, with me as the main character. I would make sure that I will not fall in love easily. Because for me, love is a sacred thing!''
''Hm that is actually a good idea for a novel. A secretly gay CEO that looks cold and domineering outside but actually loves BL and a soft-hearted pudding inside. And he has many suitors, but he is unsure of his own heart.''
''I think that''s a great idea. I hope a good author can write that. Just don''t give me a spicy chicken author. He would twist the story and make me look like a coward!''
Jinxing watched how Xiao-Ge''s expression changed from wonder to deep thinking, and then he snickered a bit. He thought Xiao-Ge must have been thinking hard about how to ept Jinxing as a friend.
Jinxing didn''t want to burden his Xiao-Ge, so he held Xiao-Ge''s hand gently.
Xiaojun jolted when Jinxing held his hand, but the first thing that came to his mind was Jinxing had a warm hand, maybe because he cooked something just now.
"Xiao-Ge, don''t think about it too much. I idolized you a lot, and I''ve been in love with you for ten years. But it is a feeling that I''ve kept for more than ten years. I''m sure I can hold on for more."
''Ah what to do? His gentleness and calm is the death of me,'' Xiaojun sighed. He released his hand from Jinxing''s and then patted Jinxing''s head, "Xiang, I appreciate that you have liked me for so long. But in case you fell in love with other people, then you should forget me."
Jinxing looked dejected. He lowered his gaze like a lost puppy. He asked, "Xiao-Ge, even you don''t allow me to be your fan? I know that you are not gay. But I won''t hurt you at all"
Jinxing was dejected because he thought Xiao-Ge condemned him for being gay. It was something very natural in this conservative world anyway. But hearing it from Xiao-Ge only double the pain.
''As expected, even Xiao-Ge will not ept me''
Jinxing stood from the chair and smiled bitterly at Xiaojun, "Xiao-Ge, I thank you for visiting me. But I believe Xiao-Ge still has many things to do. I will drive you back to Feng office tower."
Xiaojun felt guilty, so suddenly, because Jinxing''s dejected face made him felt incredibly guilty. He gulped and caught Jinxing''s wrist, "WWait, I did not mean it like that!"
"Xiao-Ge I''m gay. If you hold my wrist like this, you will give me a wrong idea," Jinxing looked away from his Xiao-Ge and continued, "Although I will always be your number one fan, you should not y with my heart like this."
"NNo, I didn''t mean it that way!" Xiaojun denied, "II just"
"Xiao-Ge, I will show you the way out."
Xiaojun felt the pressure given to him. Jinxing was like a puppy that stared at him with his eyes, silently judging him for abandoned the cute puppy on the street.
Xiaojun sighed and asked, "Xiang, what do you really want?"
Jinxing paused, and his eyes glowed again. He hugged Xiaojun abruptly, and Xiaojun froze on the spot, "WWha" Xiaojun raised his hand, but after a minute, he finally responded to Jinxing''s hug by patting his back.
They could feel each other''s heartbeat, and Xiaojun could feel the hug that Jinxing gave. It was full of dependence as if he would break if Xiaojun chose to push him away.
Jinxing leaned his chin on Xiaojun''s shoulder, and he whispered in Xiaojun''s ear, "Xiao-Ge, I''ve always wanted to hug you like this. I never expect that hugging you would feel ten times better than my imagination"
"Xiao-Ge, even if you don''t like me I hope I can stay by your side. Don''t push me away, okay?"
"Okay," Xiaojun replied. There was no harm on it anyway.
Jinxing breathed in relief. Though this was the first phase, he would try hard to make Xiao-Ge fall in love with him!
''First step! I am sure I can melt my handsome iceberg Xiao-Ge in the future!''
After a while, they finally released their hug and continued chatting. Amidst the chatting, Xiaojun couldn''t help but ask. Because it had been bugging him the whole time.
"I thought you said you have a girlfriend. He called youst time, right?"
"Oh, that" Jinxing snickered and picked up Elizabeth on the ground, "This is my girlfriend! I usually call a pet sitter toe whenever I''m outside. The pet sitter said that Elizabeth has been meowing on my picture for the whole day. I guess she missed me a lot. Hehe."
Xiaojun stared at the guiltless white cat and felt that he was the stupidest man ever alive. Xiaojun was screaming in his heart, ''All those heartbreak and drama all those sad songs in the shower because of a cat! Aahhhh! Xiaojun, you idiot!''

Chapter 30: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (1)
Sun Zhu was looking at his reflection in the mirror. He wore a ck hoodie, jeans, a ck hat, and a ck mask to cover half of his face. He was sure that nobody would recognize him like this, and he could meet XiaoXiao without paparazzi and crazy fans hunting him down.
"Alright, tomorrow at two in the afternoon, I will meet XiaoXiao in"
So I''ma light it up, like dynamite!~
Sun Zhu was surprised when his phone rangte at night. He checked the caller and saw ''Aunty Tian.''
"Oh fuc"
Sun Zhu picked up the call, and a loud voice from the phone speaker hurt his ear, "Sun Zhu! Don''t you remember that you have an exclusive fan meeting in the mall tomorrow?!" Aunt Tian yelled
Sun Zhu''s eyes widened, "WWait, what?! I didn''t know at all! Why is this so sudden?!"
"You stupid kid! I''ve told you so many times, but you keep chatting with a random person on your phone!" Aunt Tianined, "Anyway, it doesn''t matter. I will pick you up tomorrow at eight. The exclusive fan meeting will be held in the grand ballroom on the ground floor, in Pacific Mall!"
''NOOO MY DATE WITH XIAOXIAO!''
"AAunty, when does the fan meeting end?" Sun Zhu asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask? Well, it will end at noon, right before the lunch break," Aunt Tian replied, "Okay, sleep early today because tomorrow will be a busy day."
Aunt Tian hung up the call first.
Sun Zhu started opening his google maps, checking whether he had enough time to meet XiaoXiao, and when he realized that the train station when they would meet was near the mall, "Okay, so if I end the fan meeting early, I would still have time to meet XiaoXiao! I will make sure to end it early!"
With the will of fire in his eyes, Sun Zhu was sure that his date with XiaoXiao would be smooth tomorrow, "For the first real date in my life!"
***
Xiaojun was busy checking his clothes in the mirror. He wore a ck hoodie, jeans, ck hat, and ck mask covering half of his face.
Xiaojun actually wore prescription sses, but he usually used contact lens for work. He only used the sses when he was in his apartment or attended a fan meeting or convention for extra disguise.
Xiaojun wore the sses and looked at himself in the mirror. Other than his excellent physique that had been hidden under the loose hoodie, he had nothing to worry about, "Okay, with this, nobody will know that I''m Feng Xiaojun! I will make sure"
Knock. Knock.
Xiaojun paused when his office door was knocked. Shi Qiang entered the room and saw Boss Feng with a ck hoodie and cap, like an actor trying to disguise himself. He was like a teenager ying dress-up. Shi Qiang clenched the document in her hand and mmed it on the table, "BOSS!"
"Hiii! YYes?!" Xiaojun jolted out of shock and fear. He saw the fierce re from tired Secretary Shi;
"Boss, please sign all these documents now! I need to return back home!" Shi Qian yelled, "Don''t you know that I have an exclusive fan meeting tomorrow morning? If I''mte, then the exclusive ticket will be invalid!"
"Okay, okay! I will sign it now!" Xiaojun sat on his chair and started reading quickly before signing almost all documents. He and Shi Qiang were forced to stayte until it was ten at night because they had many projects needing urgent care.
Shi Qiang sighed, "I spent 15000 yuan, or around 2000 dors, to get this ticket. Boss, I know that you give me a good sry and overtime bonus. But I have life, you know."
"YYes, I know," Xiaojun nodded while singing vigorously. Truthfully, it was his fault. Because he procrastinated by ying with Jinxing''s cats and talking with him untilte at night and woke upte today.
So all the works got stacked because of his tardiness.
After all the documents had been checked and signed, it was already eleven at night, "Secretary Shi, let me drive you back to your apartment."
"Thank you, sir."
***
On their way to Shi Qiang''s apartment area, Xiaojun pondered for a moment before asking, "Secretary Shi, what fan meeting will you attend tomorrow?"
"It''s an exclusive fan meeting for lucky 50 fans who won the lottery, to ask a question with the biggest star in the country, Sun Zhu. It took me 13000 yuan to get a ticket, and I almost lost to another participant!" Shi Qiang said.
"Sun Zhu? Eh, who is that?" Xiaojun wondered.
Shi Qiang stared at Xiaojun like she just saw a ghost, "Boss, you don''t know Sun Zhu? The Movie Emperor Sun?"
"Who?"
"" Shi Qiang took a deep breath to calm herself, "Sun Zhu has been a child star since he was ten years old, and now that he is twenty-six, he is still the most handsome, most popr star in the country!"
"He beat you on that top bachelor of the country ranking, remember?" Shi Qiang reminded Xiaojun about the magazine featuring him.
Xiaojun vaguely remembered that Secretary Shi handed him a new magazine featuring him about two months ago. It was the yearly top bachelor rank. Xiaojun didn''t care about it so much, though, because he had always stayed at least in the top three every year.
Not that it meant much for him.
But indeed, he remembered seeing a handsome face on top of him in the rank.
Shi Qiang watched Boss Feng''s confused expression and sighed, "Boss, tomorrow is Saturday. Do you want to apany me to the fan meet? It''s in the pacific mall. The ones with a ticket can take one more person to apany them."
"Pacific mall?" Xiaojun remembered the mall that was near the train station, and it was indeed the Pacific mall.
''Hm my date with Zhu''er is at two. I think, I can apany Secretary Shi first. I mean, she got so many workloads because of me after all.''
"Okay then, I will apany you to this Sun Zhu guy''s fan meeting! But I don''t know this guy at all, though, so I will just stay silent the whole time, okay?"
"Sure, Boss. I mean, I bet he will not get attracted to you. He is a totally straight man," Shi Qiang said and prayed in her heart.
Chapter 31: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (2)
Chapter 31: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (2)
Shi Qiang was busy with the movie poster that she wanted Sun Zhu to sign, the ticket, bottle of water, and a tote bag full of Sun Zhu''s movies CDs, all of them for the movie emperor to sign! No matter how small his role was, Shi Qiang brought them all. Because she spent 13000 yuan on this ticket, and sure as hell, she wanted to get the most benefit out of it!
Shi Qiang checked the clock, "Already seven in the morning. Good thing the ticket is based on order, I am number"
Shi Qiang checked her ticket, "Ah, number 40. It will take a while until I can get my turn," she sighed. She truly wanted to be the number 1, so she could be the first to get the privilege of talking with Sun Zhu.
But the number one spent literal 50000 yuan for it, either the girl was a fuerdai or a sessful businesswoman. Shi Qiang was neither. She was just a secretary of a weird boss, "That reminds me"
Shi Qiang remembered the chat she had with her friend two days ago about her job as Boss Feng''s secretary.
*Biyu: OMG! Qiang, I heard that you got epted as Mr Feng Xiaojun''s new secretary! Tell me, is he handsome? Like, as handsome as his picture and interview?*
Shi Qiang was not too ecstatic about it after knowing that Boss Feng was gay as heck and had zero coolness in him. Her dream of a powerful CEO has been shattered. But she was not a bbermouth. Since Boss Feng trusted her with his sexual orientation, so she needed to keep it a secret.
Until Boss Feng decided toe out, of course.
*Qiang: He is more handsome in real life. Boss Feng said to me that he doesn''t like to be beautified in the picture. So he always asked for magazines not to beautify his image. In fact, he told them to make his face uglier in the picture. Because he doesn''t really want people to focus on him solely by his look.*
*Biyu: WHAT?! Really? So he is more handsome in real life?! Give me proof! Send me a picture of him, you are his secretary, right? Of course, you have a few pictures of him!*
Of course, Shi Qiang had many pictures of Boss Feng, from formal ones to weird ones. Like that picture when Boss Feng rolled on the floor because the gong of one BL manhwa was so mean to his shou. Boss Feng spent the rest of the day with puffy cheeks.
Shi Qiangughed whenever she saw the puffy cheek of Boss Feng, but to maintain Boss Feng''s persona in public, she sent two pictures to Biyu. A picture of Boss Feng busy signing documents, and a picture of him with his eagle eyes asking a question to his business partner in a meeting.
*Biyu: OMG! QIANG, FENG XIAOJUN IS TEN TIMES MORE HANDSOME IN YOUR PHOTOS! I''M DEAD!*
*Biyu: I can''t imagine how could you stay sane with such handsome, perfect CEO as your boss every day!*
Shi Qiang scoffed, ''Heh, if only she knows Boss Feng''s silly and dramatic behaviour.''
Although Boss Feng was far from her imagination, he was indeed a good boss when he decided not to be dramatic over things and get his job done. Or else, they would be stuck inside the office untilte at night because of him cking off.
Shi Qiang was in a good mood as she opened her apartment door and used the lift. She left her apartment building to go to the train station, but her steps halted when she saw a man leaning on his ck car.
He was tall, with a broad shoulder and slender leg, like a model.
He wore jeans, a ck hoodie, ck cap, mask to cover his nose and mouth, and rimless sses. He was trying hard to look normal. But it only made him look like an obvious celebrity in disguise, thus boosted his charm by 100%, especially since he used a BMW Grand Turismo as his car.
His charm was like a fresh morning dew that shocked everyone, especially the young women and the aunties. They stared at him, and some actually bumped into trees and building because they didn''t watch their steps.
And with that, Shi Qiang''s good mood was shattered in less than ten minutes she left her room.
Xiaojun saw Secretary Shi and waved his hand, "SecretaryI mean, Shi Qiang! Here!"
All women red at Shi Qiang with hostility. They started judging her from head to toe.
"I told you don''t be too obvious, right?" Shi Qiang said.
"Eh? I am anonymous right now," Xiaojun scratched his head, "Don''t you see my totally anonymous look?"
"It''s not anonymous when you literally use BMW as your car."
"Eeehh I already picked the most ordinary car in my garage" Xiaojun sighed, "Should I return with an Audi instead?"
" no, nevermind. Let''s just go."
***
Xiaojun used valet to park his car.
Xiaojun and Shi Qiang entered the mall and headed straight to the registration for Sun Zhu event. It was already crowded, and the queue was long. As they waited for their turn, Shi Qiang pointed at Sun Zhu''s poster in front, "Don''t you think Emperor Sun is so handsome? He is currently the most followed actor on Weibo!"
Xiaojun stared at the handsome face in the poster. Well, Shi Qiang wasn''t wrong. This Sun Zhu guy was really handsome. His face was perfectly symmetrical. His bright yet seductive smile would definitely make every girl swoon.
But not Xiaojun. Such person was not Xiaojun''s type. He looked like a person with deep thought. Xiaojun was more into a simple and bright guy!
"He''s alright."
"Alright?! You said, alright?!" Shi Qiang felt that her pride had been stomped. She crossed her arm and said, "Boss, he is the number one! I bet you are just jealous. I bet once you see him, you will fall in love!"
"Eehh I don''t know. I don''t think I''ll ever fall in love with a guy like him. He looks arrogant and domineering, definitely not my type."
Chapter 32: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (3)
Chapter 32: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (3)
"Eehh I don''t know. I don''t think I''ll ever fall in love with a guy like him. He looks arrogant and domineering, definitely not my type."
"I don''t think he is also into you, Boss Feng," Shi Qiang said bitterly. She was an avid fan of the Movie Emperor Sun. How could she let her male god got ndered by her weird boss?!
Male God > Boss.
That was Shi Qiang''s motto.
Xiaojun looked at the poster again. Indeed, this Sun Zhu guy was handsome. His face was perfectly symmetrical. Even if Xiaojun tried to find the w in him, he couldn''t. Because this guy seemed to be born perfect, especially since Shi Qiang said that Sun Zhu was a long-reigning movie emperor.
But just like the rule of justice and fairness, Xiaojun knew there must be something wrong with this movie emperor. If a perfect CEO like him had many weird hobbies, this guy must have something as well.
Xiaojun whispered in Shi Qiang''s ear, "You know that old saying? If a man is too perfect, either he is a jerk or gay. Maybe Sun Zhu is actually a jerk who ys with many girl''s hearts. Or he is simply gay."
"That is not possible! Don''t you know how many girlfriends he had before? Whenever there is a new movieing out, he will date the female lead! Emperor Sun''s charm is just too much!" Shi Qiang persisted. She had been heartbroken knowing how many handsome men had turned gay for Boss Feng.
If Emperor Sun also turned out gay for Boss Feng
"Boss, I know you may feel like you are like the main character from a BL novel. But trust me, you are not. This is not a BL rom novel, written by an author that wants to write crack about gay CEO, but always forget to update because he has a main ongoing novel and a new novel nned for the annual contest!"
" why are you so detailed about it anyway?" But Xiaojun imagined himself as the main character in a BL novel, "Hm now that you mention something like that, it would not be impossible for me to have a lot of men chasing over me, rom style~ Hehe."
"I bet the author will write something amazing for an annual contest. I hope he can get lots of support from his beloved readers," Xiaojun said.
"Wait, why he?" Shi Qiang started imagining a man in his mid-twenty secretly writing BL or fantasy romance while working in the office, "Okay, that sounds cool. But you know what''s cooler, Boss?"
"What?"
"What if the Movie Emperor is actually a BL author as well," Shi Qiang looked towards Sun Zhu''s poster and shook her head, "No, no, nevermind. That is simply impossible."
Ding! Xiaojun got a text notification.
*Zhu''er - 08.30 a.m
Good morning, XiaoXiao. How is your weekend? I''m currently working in a mall. I have to follow my actor for his fan meeting. He is a handsome and popr actor, while I''m just a regr cameraman/backdrop assistant, definitely not a movie emperor or whatsoever, haha. Will you still ept me with my average life?*
''Zhu''er is currently helping on a fan meeting? Is he around here?''
***
Ding! Sun Zhu got a text notification.
*''XiaoXiao 8.32 a.m.''
UwU good morning Zhu''er! Ah, I''m also outside right now, apanying my friend to a fan meeting. A, Zhu''er, don''t worry about such a thing! I''m also just a regr person. I''m not like a wealthy CEO or something. We are only two ordinary people, so it''s okay!
Can''t wait to meet youter!*
''XiaoXiao is in a fan meeting also? Is he in my fan meeting?'' Sun Zhu was worried for a moment, but he assured himself, ''It''s okay, the coincidence should not be this big. Maybe there is another fan meeting somewhere.''
Sun Zhu was busy checking his watch. He was sitting in a room prepared for him, "Aunt Tian, why haven''t we started yet? I have a meeting at two."
"Aish, be patient, don''t you know it takes time to prepare?" Aunt Tian replied.
After a while, a man came up inside his room and said, "Sun Zhu, it''s the cue for your entrance."
Sun Zhu put on his bright smile and walked up to the stage. He greeted his fans, who brought banners, chanting his name, and some of them even cried when they saw Sun Zhu. As an actor growing up from a child actor to be a famous movie emperor, it was not really a surprise for Sun Zhu.
However, what surprised him was the sight of a tall man at the back of the crowd, standing silently amidst the hysterical fans, ''I have a male fan? That''s rare,'' Sun Zhu thought. His fans are 90% women, from all age-range. So it was a bit surprising that a man joined in.
''Maybe he is apanying his girlfriend or sister,'' Sun Zhu thought before opening the signing, handshake, and selfie requests from his fans. It was just like a normal business day for Sun Zhu.
But he couldn''t let go of his sight from that man. He felt familiar.
''I wonder if XiaoXiao is here.''
***
"Boss! Isn''t Sun Zhu amazing? He looks way more handsome than in the photo, right?" Shi Qiang said, her face was ecstatic after seeing Sun Zhu in front.
"Yes, I have to admit that he is like a perfect prince. Now I understand why many young girls loved him," Xiaojun replied, "His overall charm is just amazing."
Xiaojunmented, but he was not really focusing on how handsome Sun Zhu truly was like a male god descended from heaven.
Instead, his eyes wandered around, trying to search for his Zhu''er, ignoring the movie emperor on the stage. Maybe Zhu''er was currently working hard behind the stage for this Movie Emperor.
''Hn I wonder if Zhu''er is here''
Chapter 33: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (4)
Chapter 33: Movie Emperor and Rich CEO in disguise! (4)
The queue showed number #38 already. Only two more queues and Shi Qiang would be able to talk with her male god. She already prepared the stuff Sun Zhu would sign and the questions that she wanted to ask.
"Number 40,e in," the moderator said. Shi Qiang and masked Xiaojun walked on the stage and approached Sun Zhu, who was sitting in the middle. She put the CDs and poster. Shi Qiang''s face was so red because she was both nervous and embarrassed, not knowing what to say when standing in front of her male god.
''Oh, my goddd! Emperor Sun is much more handsome up close! He is on par with Boss Feng! Buddha, thank you for gracing the earth with such a fine specimen of a STRAIGHT man!'' Shi Qiang prayed in her heart.
Sun Zhu signed in extreme speed, which made Shi Qiang nervous, she hadn''t asked any question yet, and her turn is almost over!
"UUm Mr Sun" Shi Qiang stuttered in front of Sun Zhu, and Sun Zhu was busy signing the CDs that he only replied with a low hum, "MMr. Sun, my name is Shi Qiang, I"
"Done," Sun Zhu finished. He put on a perfunctory smile and continued with his usual line, "Thank you so much for supporting me, please support me in the future. The way out is there," Sun Zhu pointed at the exit stage.
Shi Qiang was dazed when she couldn''t ask anything before her turn ended, she looked heartbroken and sad, but it was her fault for stuttering, knowing her male god doesn''t have enough time for herself, Shi Qiang bowed her head and took all the signed CDs, "Thank you so much, Mr Sun"
Sun Zhu was nonchnt and was about to call the next queue. This action made Xiaojun annoyed. He held Shi Qiang''s arm and said towards Sun Zhu, "Mr Sun, please give your fans a proper fan meeting and greet her nicely! SecretaryI mean, Shi Qiang paid so much money to see you, at least let her talk for a moment!"
Sun Zhu looked up at the masked guy. He was tall, probably as tall as Sun Zhu if he stood up. He had rimless sses and used a ck mask to cover his nose and mouth. Sun Zhu''s heart skipped when he saw those sharp and cold eyes, this guy''s eyes looked handsome and fierce. Even half of his face already tell that he was top ss handsome.
''Why do I feel a certain connection'' Sun Zhu pondered as he stared at that deep eyes.
Sun Zhu was dazed for a moment, and Xiaojun chided, "Don''t you know much she prepares for meeting you? At least some kindness to your fan!"
Sun Zhu got back to reality once other fans started whispering at each other. Sun Zhu was still a celebrity with a reputation. Although his heart was racing fast, he reacted negatively against this guy, "I have given her time to ask a question, but she is not asking anything! It''s not my fault that her time is up!"
"That''s because she is trying hard to collect herself!" Xiaojun insisted, "At least try to start a conversation, so insensitive!"
"She should have been well prepared for this event! Look behind you," Shi Qiang and Xiaojun turned their heads and saw many impatient girls queueing for their male god. It was already noon, so everyone was tired and hungry.
Xiaojun was intimidated by their re, but he insisted on staying, "At least be more courteous for your fan!"
"LLet''s just go" Shi Qiang pulled Xiaojun out of the stage. Xiaojun cursed at Sun Zhu, "What an arrogant celebrity! You have no gentleness to my lovely Shi Qiang at all! Wait until she finds a better actor, and she will forget you!"
Sun Zhu felt both unsettled and jealous when this masked guy called the girl ''lovely.'' Albeit he also didn''t know this guy''s name, but his heart was grieving because he had missed the first opportunity.
Sun Zhu shook his head in denial, ''No, No! I did not just get charmed by a random guy! I have XiaoXiao! I will meet my cute XiaoXiao today, and I''m already thinking about another guy. How despicable! I''m not a cheater. Stay strong and loyal, Sun Zhu!''
***
"What an arrogant guy! I already hate him!" Xiaojun grumbled as they walked away from the event. Shi Qiang nced at her boss, who was angry for her sake. Somehow, it made her feel better;
"Well, it is my fault for being slow, Boss," Shi Qiang said.
"But you are trying so hard to get this ticket! That''s why I''m angry at him! He does not appreciate you!" Xiaojun said while crossing his arm.
"It''s okay, maybe Emperor Sun is in a hurry mood. He is a good man that often does charity," Shi Qiang giggled at Boss Feng, who got worked up over this. "There will be another time, really."
"Hmph! I hate that Sun Zhu guy! I don''t like a handsome but arrogant man!" Xiaojunined.
Shi Qiang and Xiaojun ate at one fast food joint at noon. Xiaojun checked on his phone, and it was already 1.30 p.m.
"Ah, I need to leave now. I don''t want to make Zhu''er wait," Xiaojun said.
"Oh, you are going to meet at the station near the mall, right?" Shi Qiang asked while eating the fried fries.
"Yes, Secretary Shi, I need to leave now. See you on Monday!"
"Yes, Boss, be careful," Shi Qiang smiled.
Xiaojun hurriedly walked to the station near the mall. He was in a bad mood because of that arrogant movie emperor, Sun Zhu. But since he would meet his Zhu''er soon, his mood lifted up a bit.
''Well, at least I know that Zhu''er is a humble lovable man! Unlike that arrogant movie emperor! Hmph, what blind man or woman would fall in love with that kind of guy!''
Chapter 34: The Misadventure of Zhuer and XiaoXiao! (1)
Chapter 34: The Misadventure of Zhu''er and XiaoXiao! (1)
Xiaojun entered the station and walked around like a lost kid. Truth be told, he never stepped inside a public station like this since he was a baby. He usually had a driver who knew the way around each city he visited, so there was never a problem.
"Whoa it''s so crowded"
Xiaojun thought the station would be less crowded on Saturday. But it was still crowded for him. He shuffled through the people carefully and walked from one tform to another. He checked the text message with Zhu''erst night.
*Zhu''er 11.00 p.m.
XiaoXiao, meet me on tform 6, okay? There will be a small restaurant there, please wait for me there, kissu kissu :*
I can''t wait to see you!*
Xiaojun went inside the toilet to fix his appearance. He washed his face, wiped his rimless ss, fixed his hoodie and mask. After almost half an hour trying to find the right tform, he saw a small restaurant, but contrary to his imagination, it was not a restaurant that he usually visited.
It was.
Fast Food Restaurant.
"So this is a fast-food restaurant" Xiaojun watched the red sign in awe, KFC. He had many deals with this fast-food chain, but he never actually entered this one fast food restaurant.
Xiaojun gulped. He should havee here with Shi Qiang. He ate in that fast food joint inside the mall an hour ago, but Shi Qiang did everything from ordering and stuff. He just sat and wait for his secretary to bring the food.
Now that he was alone, he didn''t know if he could do the ordering inside, ''I feel like a kid entering the mall alone for the first time''
''I think since Zhu''er is amoner, he can order food here, right?''
Xiaojun walked inside and saw people already lined up to order. He still needed to wait for Zhu''er, so he sat on the corner and texted Zhu''er.
***
Sun Zhu had just finished the fan meeting and hurriedly put on his hoodie and ck cap. He cleaned his makeup and looked at himself in the mirror.
Of course, he still looked very handsome. But at least, it was not as obvious as when he was full-on Movie Emperor Sun mode.
''Okay, I think this is alright.''
Ding! Sun Zhu opened the text from XiaoXiao.
*XiaoXiao 02.10 p.m.
Zhu''er, I''m inside the fast-food restaurant, where are you? Wuwuwu, XiaoXiao is scared alone TwT*
"Damn! I don''t want to make my XiaoXiao wait!" Sun Zhu hurriedly put on his sneakers and walked pass Aunty Tian. Aunty Tian was surprised when Sun Zhu suddenly left the room, "Sun Zhu, where will u go?!"
"Aunty, I need to meet a special person!"
"You better not mess around! I don''t want you to date someone popr. The media will hunt you down!" Aunty Tian warned.
"Aish, don''t worry, aunty, this person is just a regr office worker, and I''m just a regr cameraman, hehe~."
***
Sun Zhu entered the station and walked to tform 6. He still remembered this ce as one set of a short movie he did two years ago, where the boy and the girl meet in a fast-food restaurant because both of them were just brokemoner.
He stood in front of the restaurant and gulped. Sun Zhu never actually eat in a fast-food restaurant. As a child actor that grew to be a movie emperor, everything was always catered for him, ''But XiaoXiao is amoner, right? He can obviously order a food in a ce like this.''
Sun Zhu entered the restaurant and looked around to find XiaoXiao. He read the text from XiaoXiao. He should be sitting on the corner alone.
Sun Zhu walked to the corner and saw a man reading something on his phone. Sun Zhu peered suspiciously and was shocked, ''No, that couldn''t be him!''
ck cap, ck mask that covered half of his face, hoodie, rimless sses.
''This is the guy that argued with me during that fan meeting!'' Sun Zhu gulped to contain his disbelief. Sun Zhu kept thinking about this guy because he was positive that he had fallen in love with this guy''s peach blossom eyes.
In fact, if XiaoXiao never told him that he was just a regr office worker, Sun Zhu would think that XiaoXiao was actually a rich second generation or at least a wealthy CEO. Because those eyes exuded elegance and dominance at the same time.
He thought he had fallen in love, stupidly with a random person and had betrayed his XiaoXiao. But maybe he was fated to be in love with XiaoXiao after all.
Sun Zhu didn''t have enough bravery to approach the guy immediately because he was still unsure. Thus, he pressed XiaoXiao''s contact and called the number.
He watched the guy closely, and when his phone rang, it was 100% that he had fallen in love with XiaoXiao before he even realized it.
''Oh no I hope he doesn''t recognize me as Sun Zhu,'' he walked towards XiaoXiao stiffly and stood in front of him.
***
Xiaojun was busy reading BL while waiting for Zhu''er toe. He was reading Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System to pass the time, and then his phone rang.
''Zhu''er?!'' Xiaojun picked up the call hurriedly, "HHello, Zhu''er, where are you? I''ve been waiting for a while!"
"XiaoXiao, look up" Zhu''er said to him. Strangely, his voice felt close to Xiaojun, very close.
Xiaojun looked up, and he thought he saw a mirror. Because he saw a man dressed the same as him.
ck cap, ck mask, ck hoodie, and jeans.
Xiaojun could only see his eyes, but it was indeed a pair of perfectly symmetrical eyes that should be owned by a top-ss model or actor because it demanded everyone''s intention to look at him. If Zhu''er never tell him that he was just a regr cameraman, Xiaojun would immediately think that Zhu''er was a top actor or, at least, a very handsome aspiring idol.
Xiaojun felt strangely familiar with Zhu''er, but he didn''t know where did they ever meet.
"XiaoXiao"
"Zhu''er?"
Chapter 35: The Misadventure of Zhuer and XiaoXiao! (2)
Chapter 35: The Misadventure of Zhu''er and XiaoXiao! (2)
"XiaoXiao"
"Zhu''er?"
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu stared at each other dumbfoundedly. Because they had an eerily simr style. As if both of them were trying to hide their real identity. Both Sun Zhu and Xiaojun had the same train of thought in their head. ''Wait, he has a ck cap, ck mask, ck hoodie, jeans, and sneaker''
''He is not trying to disguise himself as a normal person, right?'' They thought.
They were in this awkward stare for a while, silently trying to pry on each other''s identity. ''Zhu''er is not an actor, right? I feel like even his perfectly symmetrical eyes belong to the entertainment circle. Did he lie to me?'' Xiaojun thought.
''XiaoXiao is not a rich second generation, right? His charisma and peach blossom eyes tell me that he is not a regr office worker. More like a CEO or something. Did XiaoXiao lie to me?'' After staring for a while, Sun Zhu noticed something in XiaoXiao''s eyes. Under his right eye, a cute beauty mark made XiaoXiao''s eyes even more captivating.
But he felt familiar as if he had seen an extremely handsome man with a beauty mark under his right eye
''No, that cannot be him. That should not be him''
Meanwhile, Xiaojun felt that Zhu''er had a familiar gaze. They seemed to have met recently, very recently. But he was not sure which person had a perfectly symmetrical face that he knew of.
''No, that cannot be that guy. That guy is a movie emperor''
Xiaojun snapped out of his daze first and lowered his gaze embarrassedly. "Zhu''er, please sit," Xiaojun said. Then he just realized that his tone was like a CEO telling his guest to sit and talk about business.
"Yes," Sun Zhu replied. He sat and immediately crossed his leg elegantly, like a movie emperor in an interview. Sun Zhu realized his gesture and immediately sat straight.
Both of them were nervous because they were afraid that they would get discovered.
They sat, and the awkward silence permeated the atmosphere around them.
Sun Zhu was nervous because this wasn''t like the regr idol-fan date, where he could just act nice and smile at his fan date. This was the real thing. He currently went on a date with XiaoXiao.
And Sun Zhu never went on an actual date.
Sun Zhu tried hard to find a good thing to say. His eyes observed around then realized that he was in a fast-food restaurant. He was so nervous that he forgot they were supposed to have lunch first before going somewhere.
"XXiaoXiao, do you want to eat something?" Sun Zhu asked nervously.
"Yes, I can eat anything you order" Xiaojun replied.
"Good, uhm do you want to order now?" Sun Zhu asked again.
"Sure" Xiaojun replied again.
Another silence between them permeated in the air again. Both of them had a sudden realization, a realization that they were not the all-knowing god in this harsh world.
''How do I order in a fast-food restaurant? Should we call the waiter or let them serve us first? Where is my wee drink?'' they thought at the same time.
"Zhu''er, do you want to order now?" Xiaojun asked.
"Ah, XiaoXiao, you can order now. I don''t know which food you like. I might order the wrong one if it''s me," Sun Zhu dodged. He didn''t want to get discovered just because he didn''t know how to order.
"I also don''t know which food you will order" Xiaojun also dodged the responsibility with the same weapon.
They stared at each other and in the end they decided to just order the food together.
They saw people near the counter already queueing, so they followed the crowd and joined the queue.
Xiaojun was reading the menu and the price on the disy. He was surprised because everything was so cheap. ''A fried chicken for 15 yuan? Hamburger for 12 yuan? And fries for 7 yuan?! What the heck? Why is it so cheap? Am I being scammed here?!''
Sun Zhu read the same menu and thought the same thing, ''One set of meal for 40 Yuan?! Is this real food?''
"XiaoXiao, do you eat fast food often?" Sun Zhu asked, trying to find whether he was dreaming or not. Because that was way too cheap.
"YYes! I eat fast food often. You know, um office worker stuff. I''m so busy in the office and so broke, so I can only afford to eat here," Xiaojun lied. "How about you, Zhu''er?"
"Same. I''m uh just a regr cameraman. I don''t have money, so I eat here often," Sun Zhu also lied.
''Perfect! So this is the correct price for fast food!'' Sun Zhu and Xiaojun thought at the same time.
When their timees, Sun Zhu and Xiaojun walked to the counter, and the server asked for their order. Sun Zhu was ready with the script inside his head, he said while pointing at the nicest looking mealbo. "That one."
KFC Cashier: Okay, and how about you, Sir?
Afraid to get discovered, he also pointed at the same mealbo. "That one also."
KFC Cashier: Two happy meal with Spongebob toys, the total is 140 Yuan.
Other costumer nced at Xiaojun and Sun Zhu, two tall good looking men, wearing all ck, but ordering kids meal.
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu didn''t seem to be bothered, though, because they thought it was normal. Besides, they got Spongebob and Patrick toys.
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu brought their happy meal to their table and stared at each other. Both of them still had their mask on.
How do I eat this without showing my face?
Chapter 36: The Misadventure of Zhuer and XiaoXiao! (3)
Chapter 36: The Misadventure of Zhu''er and XiaoXiao! (3)
How do I eat this without showing my face?
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun were in the same dilemma. They didn''t know what to do with their mask. Since both of them wanted to keep their identity a secret. Thus, both Xiaojun and Sun Zhu stared at each other awkwardly.
"XXiaoXiao, are you ufortable showing your face?" Sun Zhu initiated first.
Xiaojun nodded pitifully and replied, "XiaoXiao is not a good-looking man. I am afraid that Zhu''er will not like me after you see my face, especially since I know that you are a handsome man without that mask." Xiaojun dodged.
Sun Zhu almost got a heart attack with that. He thought XiaoXiao had discovered his identity. But it seemed what XiaoXiao said was true. XiaoXiao was not aware of the trend since he was only inside the BL bubble.
"Ah, no, XiaoXiao. Zhu''er is also not good-looking. I''m an average guy," Sun Zhu said. "WWe are both an average guy working with minimum wage, right?" Sun Zhu asked.
"Yes, yes! Definitely!" Xiaojun confirmed.
THIS DAMNED AWKWARD SILENCE AGAIN!
Sun Zhu was frustrated. He was never this frustrated in his life. Even if he had to take the most challenging movie, it was the hardest to tackle by far. Because he was trying to imagine what an average guy would say and do.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun stared at their happy meal. They were both hungry but exposing themselves
''I don''t want XiaoXiao to know my real identity and run away. Because XiaoXiao is a modest office worker. He even said it himself that he doesn''t like someone who attracts too much attention'' Sun Zhu thought.
''Ah, what to do I don''t want Zhu''er to know my real identity. He will definitely get intimidated by my position and run away. Zhu''er said that he hates people that stands out too much'' Xiaojun thought.
They were in a stalemate until Sun Zhu suggested. "Then, what if we try to look the opposite way? You eat while looking at your left, and I eat while looking at my left. So we will not see each other''s face."
"Great idea!" Xiaojun turned away to the left, while Sun Zhu did the same by turning away to his left. They started eating by opening the mask from the bottom slowly. But since they were too paranoid about being discovered by each other, both Sun Zhu and Xiaojun ate while curling up, like primitives munching on their food.
The guests nced at these two obviously handsome young men. Even if they only showed their eyes, it was obvious that both could be models or actors.
But their handsome face didn''t reflect on their weird way of eating. They were now curling up while munching on burger who got everywhere on their chin because they refused to fully remove their face mask.
''What is wrong with these two?'' people pondered.
After a while, both Sun Zhu and Xiaojun finished their burger. They acted as if they were eating normally, and after that, they pocketed their Spongebob toys with pride on their faces. They fixed their mask again, and Xiaojun said first, "Zhu''er, do you want to go somewhere?"
"Ah yes" Sun Zhu tried to remember what he wanted to do within his date list. He never went on a date before, so he googled the best date spot or what to do on the first date.
And the first thing that came to his mind was arcade!
"Let''s go to the arcade!" Sun Zhu said.
Truth be told, Sun Zhu never enjoyed the arcade when he was a child. Well, he did, maybe once or twice a year. But he didn''t remember much about it. Because he was a popr child actor in high demand, he was always working and working.
Xiaojun paused for a moment. He tried to remember if he had ever been in an arcade before, and the answer was nope.
He was always busy developing his family business. His high school was filled with him acting like a cold male god while actually gushing over handsome men in secret.
"Let''s go" Xiaojun nodded, though he was unsure of what to do there.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun walked to the arcade and saw many things that they didn''t even know themselves. But they did know some things, like the w machine.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun bought the coins for ying in arcade, and they went to the w machine in unison. They were about to insert their coins in the same ce, and when they realized it, their eyes met.
"XiaoXiao, I will be the one who gives you a doll," Sun Zhu said.
"No, no! Zhu''er, I will be the provider!" Xiaojun denied.
They stared at each other again, and Sun Zhu went to the second w machine and saidpetitively, "XiaoXiao, whoever gives the first doll will be the provider."
Xiaojun always wanted to be the provider in a family, so he also repliedpetitively, "Fine! I will win!"
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu used their coins to grab a doll from the w machine. But it seemed that both of them were really bad at ying arcade games. So they had wasted all their coins.
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu squinted at each other, and they rushed towards the counter again. They took out their not-so-obvious Louis Vuitton and Prada wallets and took some cash.
"I want more coins!" they said in unisons.
The previously calm w machine was suddenly surrounded by many people who watched two men used so many coins just to get a small doll.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun squinted at each other. Their hands were already sweaty because they yed so much, but they didn''t want to yield at each other!
Finally, after so many coins, Sun Zhu obtained a penguin doll. He grabbed it from the prize box hurriedly and showed it to Xiaojun.
"XiaoXiao, I win"
"Zhu''er, I win"
They got the doll at the same time, and both were penguin dolls. It took them 1400 yuan or 200 dors to get each.
From the very beginning, a high school girl who was watching them saw two penguin dolls andmented out of the blue, "Ah, Geges, did you two intentionally aim the penguin dolls? Because two male penguins may love each other in the wild, you know."
The girl giggled at the awkward Xiaojun and Sun Zhu, then she said, "Ah, please don''t mind me. I just saw you two from afar and find that you two look perfect together. Especially since both of you look simr to the top bachelor of the country!"
The girl pointed at Sun Zhu and said. "With only your perfectly symmetrical eyes, I really thought that you are Sun Zhu, the Movie Emperor of China!"
The girl then pointed at Xiaojun, "And you, although you are using sses. Those peach blossom eyes remind me of Feng Xiaojun, the handsome and cold CEO of Feng Group!"
"Sun Zhu x Feng Xiaojun, ZhuJun ship! This is like a fanfic, kyaaaah!" The girl squealed.

Chapter 37: The Misadventure of Zhu''er and XiaoXiao! (4)
"This is like a fanfic, kyaaaah!"
''OH MY GOD, SHE KNOWS ME, I''M GOING TO GET DISCOVERED!!'' Sun Zhu was screaming in his heart, he didn''t know whether it was just a coincidence, or this girl had amazing fifth sense. Sun Zhu nced at Xiaojun, afraid that Xiaojun would get suspicious.
But he also saw Xiaojun stunned with shock on his face, just like Sun Zhu.
''HOLY FRICK! HOW DOES SHE KNOW ME?! WHAT IF ZHU''ER RECOGNIZE ME!?'' Xiaojun also screamed in his heart. He was in too much shock that he didn''t dare to nce at Sun Zhu.
The girl seemed to be in a good mood and asked more. "Gege, can you two open your masks? I want to see your face because you two look so simr to those male gods!"
"Cannot!" Sun Zhu and Xiaojun said at the same time. The girl was surprised by the strong reaction of both, making them so suspicious.
The girl squinted at both Sun Zhu and Xiaojun suspiciously. "Wait, you two are not the real Sun Zhu and the real Feng Xiaojun, right?"
"HHow could that be?!" Sun Zhu denied vehemently. "I am just a regr cameraman, working daily to earn some money."
"MMe too. I''m just an office worker in a smallpany. I only get minimum wage," Xiaojun added.
The girl still had questions in her head, but if these Geges said so, then so be it. The chance of them being the real Sun Zhu and Feng Xiaojun was so little after all.
"Anyway, Geges look so good together. It makes my heart flutter! My big sisters will be happy to see you guys!" the girl said.
"Big sisters?" Sun Zhu asked.
"Yes, I have two big sisters, and both of them are also fujoshis!" the girl said excitedly. She introduced herself first, "My name is Shi Meili. I am the youngest of the Fujos Sisters! My oldest sister is Shi Ying, and my second sister is Shi Qiang."
''SHI QIANG?!'' Xiaojun''s heart almost popped out of his ribs when he heard Secretary Shi''s name. He finally realized why this girl''s face was very familiar.
Turned out, she was Secretary Shi''s little sister.
Shi Meili seemed to be in a good mood. She wanted to talk more with these two handsome gays that totally looked like Xiaojun and Sun Zhu. But then she got a call from her big sister, "Ah excuse me, Geges. But my sister is calling me. Let me talk with her for a minute."
Shi Meili picked up the call and left Xiaojun and Sun Zhu.
Both Xiaojun and Sun Zhu had the same thought. They stared at each other and nodded at the same time, ''We need to get out of here quickly!''
"Yes, Jie Ei! Geges! Where are you going?!" Shi Meili called Xiaojun and Sun Zhu.
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu ran to leave the arcade with their gay penguin dolls. They sat on a bench after making sure that the girl had finally lost track. It was such a nerve-racking experience for both of them.
"Huff I''m d that she lost our track," Sun Zhu said.
"Yes, she was deadly urate," Xiaojun said.
"I know, right?" Sun Zhu added.
One minute two minutes three minutes
''Wait'' They thought at the same time.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun stared at each other''s eyes in unison. They gulped, hoping that their prediction was incorrect.
"XXiaoXiao, you are not the real Feng Xiaojun, right?" Sun Zhu asked.
Xiaojun shook his head and nervously replied, "OOf course not! How could Mr Feng Xiaojun have the time to go on a date like this? He must be very busy with work stuff even on the weekend."
Sun Zhu was still unsure because his heart somehow told him that the real Feng Xiaojun was with him right now.
Xiaojun didn''t want to be pitted alone, so he asked, "Zhu''er, you are not the real Sun Zhu, right?"
"Of course not! How could Sun Zhu have time to go on a random date when he is busy shooting a new drama instead!" Sun Zhu denied vehemently.
"Good, because I don''t like that arrogant guy, hmph!" Xiaojun said. Though he was still unsure whether Zhu''er was Sun Zhu or not, at least, he knew that arrogant movie emperor wouldn''t even bat an eye on him and went on a cheap date like this.
Sun Zhu gulped. He felt really guilty because he was fighting with XiaoXiao before they could even meet properly. Now it would be even moreplicated for Sun Zhu because XiaoXiao already hated him without him knowing.
Since their arcade date was cut short, Sun Zhu and Xiaojun walked around aimlessly until they found an ice cream vendor. Sun Zhu bought two ice cream for them and sat on the park bench. They ate in the same manner as what they did in a fast-food restaurant. It was already evening when they finished their ice cream.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun stared at each other. "Did you have fun?" Sun Zhu asked.
"It is a great date," Xiaojun said sincerely. "It''s enjoyable and unpredictable, which I like."
"I''m also d to take you as my first date, XiaoXiao," Sun Zhu said sincerely.
"Zhu''er, I will try my best to fit a good schedule for our next date!" Xiaojun said.
They stared at each other awkwardly for thest time and nodded. "II guess I will be going now," Sun Zhu said first. Xiaojun nodded and watched Sun Zhu''s back that was getting farther and farther.
After he predicted that his Zhu''er was already far away, he took out his mask and took as much breath as he could. "Ah, using a mask can be annoying sometimes," Xiaojunined. He looked around and saw no one in this park, so he took out his phone and dialled Shi Qiang.
"Hello, Secretary Shi! Today''s date with Zhu''er is so funny! I will tell youter!"
"What? No, no, I didn''t get discovered. I''m safe! He doesn''t know that I''m Feng Xiaojun."
"Yeah, I suspect him to be real Sun Zhu. But Zhu''er is very nice, unlike your stupid male god! I swear I will feel yed if Zhu''er turns out to be him!"
Xiaojun was bickering with Shi Qiang on the phone while Sun Zhu heard everything. He returned because he wanted to ask Xiaojun if he wanted to be apanied back home for his safety.
But this
''XiaoXiao is Feng Xiaojun?''

Chapter 38: Mommy Xiaojun! (1)
"You feel better today, Secretary Shi?" Xiaojun asked.
Shi Qiang put the coffee on the table and sighed, "No, not really. I mean, of course, I will be bummed that my male god can say such a thing to me."
Xiaojun frowned and added, "Don''t think about trash like him! There are a lot of idols and male gods you can follow! Hmph! What a trash man, lucky that my Zhu''er is not like that trash Sun Zhu!"
Shi Qiang sighed again, "Oh well, I don''t expect much from the number one movie emperor. Though, there is a personal pick contest after that fan meeting."
"Personal pick contest?" Xiaojun frowned.
"Yes, Movie Emperor Sun Zhu would pick one fan with the most favourite gift, fan art, or interaction with him. And the winner will win a dinner date with Sun Zhu himself. People are actually waiting for that, hoping that their gifts and fan art would woo the Movie Emperor and got picked."
"But, since I have zero interaction with him, and because of that misunderstanding, I don''t think I will be able to win the prize," Shi Qiang sighed. She nced at her boss and gave out a thin smile, "But I should say thanks to you, boss. Because you stand up for me when I was really going to cry in front of my male god."
"Hmph! What is the use of that! If you want to go on a luxurious dinner date, I will take you to one! I will book the whole restaurant if you want!" Xiaojun got so worked up because of what Shi Qiang experienced yesterday. He knew how hard Shi Qiang tried, so he just couldn''t handle his anger at Sun Zhu.
Shi Qiang smiled, then asked, "How was your date with Zhu''er? Is everything good?"
Xiaojun''s frown disappeared, and a bright smile popped out in his face again. "Yes, we are having so much fun! We went to amoner fast-food restaurant, like a totally normal couple. We also went to the arcade, but this time, I didn''t reserve the whole arcade. We share it with many people, you know, normal stuff."
"But, your sister seriously gave me a heart attack," Xiaojun said.
"My sister? You mean, Shi Meili?" Shi Qiang asked.
"Yes, your little sister. She actually found out that I am Feng Xiaojun under my mask! I almost died on the spot!" Xiaojun tried to recall the petite girl yesterday. "But she is wrong in one thing though, she thought that Zhu''er is Sun Zhu. Ick that is disgusting! How could she pair me with scum like Sun Zhu!"
Shi Qiang finally understood why Shi Meili or her MeiMei suddenly called herst night, saying that she saw Feng Xiaojun and Sun Zhu having a date.
"Well, she is still in high school. Her fujoshi nature is at an all-time high. I''m sorry if she offends you," Shi Qiang said.
"It''s fine. I was just a bit irked to be paired with Sun Zhu. Hmph!"
"Speaking of your date, did your Zhu''er texted you after the date? Usually, a good date is followed byte-night chatting," Shi Qiang asked.
"II''m not sure, Zhu''er just texted me ''I love you'' and then disappeared" Xiaojun gulped after remembering the chat yesterday. Usually, Zhu''er would be the chattiest. But he just sent that message to Xiaojun and then went off, not answering any text that Xiaojun sent.
"Is this good or bad?" Xiaojun asked anxiously.
"Hm I don''t think it''s bad. If he doesn''t like you at all, he will just ignore or block your number, boss," Shi Qiang pacified. "Maybe he needs time alone, maybe he is busy or maybe just maybe he already knows your true identity and tries to find a way to approach you formally?" Shi Qiang guessed.
Xiaojun''s heart skipped for a moment, "SSecretary Shi, don''t say something like that! I don''t want Zhu''er to be scared because of my identity!"
Shi Qiang giggled, "Well, don''t worry, boss. I often say something gibberish like that. Just rx."
"Except, sometimes my gibberish words turned out to be true" Shi Qiang said.
"Huh? Like what?" Xiaojun asked.
Shi Qiang sighed, "My big sister, Shi Ying. She rented the cheapest boyfriend in that Rent A Boyfriend app. I randomly said that she might have rented a Billionaire''s son with too much free time."
"And?"
"Well, I said that as a joke but her rented boyfriend turns out to be her boss'' son" Shi Qiang sighed again, "Yang Menghuo, you know that rich second generation?"
"WHAT?!" Xiaojun''s eyes almost popped out. "HHow could that be that''s like almost like a rom novel! How lucky! Yang Group is literally at the same level as Jiang Jinxing''s richness!"
"I know, right, and I''m here stuck with you," Shi Qiang rolled her eyes. "Maybe I should start writing a book called Mr CEO Secretly reads BL to talk about you."
"And then, I will also write Rent A Boyfriend, Get Free CEO Husband," Shi Qiang pondered. "Hopefully, people will start reading it and give it a lot of support and votes"
"Wow, Secretary Shi, if those two books actually exist that means you are a supporting character in two books I pity you."
After they talked for a while, the door was suddenly knocked from outside. Both Shi Qiang and Xiaojun turned their heads, "We have a guest today?"
"No, it shouldn''t be. Why does the receptionist let a random guye to your floor," Shi Qiang walked to open the door. When she opened the door, a big and tall figure looked down on her, almost giving her a heart attack.
"MMaster Long Shan."
Xiaojun was also surprised when Long Shan suddenly appeared out of the blue. The receptionist and security guards were behind Long Shan, but they were too afraid to stop the strongest mafia boss.
"LLong Shan, why are you here?" Xiaojun asked nervously.
Long Shan crossed his arm and looked at everyone with a death re, but when he looked at Xiaojun, all those intimidating aura melted instantly. In fact, Xiaojun saw anxiety in his eyes.
Everyone left the room immediately, leaving Xiaojun and Long Shan alone. They thought it would be the death of their CEO. But right now, Long Shan was sitting pitifully, confused on what to say.
"LLong Shan, what happened?" Xiaojun asked. He sat beside Long Shan, who was panicked.
"This is about Liling she wants uh" Long Shan gulped. He nced at his moon rabbit, and his face inevitably turned red.
"She wants you to be her mom for the parent''s days out in her school" Long Shan looked like a big dog with his ears folded down. "Moon Rabbit, can you please be her mommy?"
Chapter 39: Mommy Xiaojun! (2)
Chapter 39: Mommy Xiaojun! (2)
"Moon Rabbit, can you please be her mommy?"
"Huh?" Xiaojun thought he misheard Long Shan. "You want me to be Liling''s mommy?"
"Yes" Long Shan said. There was a faint tint of red on his cheek, "II don''t need you to be my wife yet that one could wait until you are ready"
"Wait, wife?! Why would I be your wi"
"But I need you to be Liling''s mommy just this time," Long Shen said. He slowly put his hand over Xiaojun''s hand and stared at him, "Moon Rabbit, I really need your help. Can you please help me? At least for once, I will be indebted with you."
Xiaojun gulped when Long Shan held his hand. No, he was not scared or anything. It was just a bit embarrassing. Especially since Long Shan''s hand was big and warm, in fact, Long Shan''s whole aura was that of a big and handsome teddy bear.
"WWhy, mommy? You don''t give me any context here. I am confused, Long Shan"
"Well, Liling''s school hold this festival every year. She is already sixteen years old, a sophomore in her senior high school. Her teachersined to me that Liling never joined that event," Long Shan said. "It''s a parents day festival, a festival where the students would pair up with their parents, usually their mothers, and dopetitions together or just walk around the festival to have fun."
Long Shan looked lost and sad. He lowered his gaze and rubbed Xiaojun''s soft hands with his coarse palm. "I''ve asked her plenty of times, and she just doesn''t want to. She said that everyone will cry if they see me walking around the school. Besides, I alwayse with some of my men. She just doesn''t like to scare others."
"Well if anyone sees you like this" Xiaojun looked from top to bottom. Long Shan was really tall with a big and muscr posture. Although he was clean-shaven, it didn''t hide his deep and intimidating eyes that would make everyone cower. His sword eyebrows didn''t help either.
Xiaojun nodded. "Yeah, Liling is right. People will get scared of you, definitely."
Long Shan sighed, "I asked her if I need to do something so she can bring me to that event. But she just outright denied me and said that she wants me to give her a mother for this event, so she will not scare others."
"But I told her that I''ve fallen love with you, so I will not bring any woman with me in Long Mansion. She said if it''s Feng Xiaojun, then she will ept. In fact, she will parade you around the school so she can show off that she had Feng Xiaojun as her guardian." Long Shen exined thoroughly.
"Wait, before that" Xiaojun gulped. He could feel that his face was getting hotter right now. "WWhen you said you''ve fallen in love with me is that really true?"
"Of course!" Long Shan answered without hesitation. "If you want me to hold our wedding today, I will tell my men to prepare the wedding! We will meet the Long elder to bless our marriage!"
Long Shan intended to kneel in front of Xiaojun, making Xiaojun flustered, "DDon''t propose now!"
Long Shan looked up to the embarrassed Xiaojun and asked, "I thought you are ready. Is there any problem?"
"WWhy are you so confident anyway you don''t even know whether I like you or not" Xiaojun said. He dodged Long Shan''s eyes because it made his heart beat faster than it should be.
"Well, I am a man of my word. If I have fallen in love with someone, I will show my best self to him. And I will make sure that everything he wants is fulfilled. That is why maybe you don''t like me for now, but I will try my best, Moon Rabbit," Long Shan smiled with the most innocent smile Xiaojun could ever see.
Despite his huge and scary posture, intimidating face, Long Shan was still a handsome and sincere man.
Xiaojun felt this was unfair because he didn''t know how to handle a truly sincere man like this
Xiaojun tried to shift the topic, "AAnyway, I don''t think I can help Liling in this. What would they say if Feng Xiaojunes to Liling''s school as Liling''s parents? They will think that we have a rtionship, and it will be a big scandal!"
Long Shan knew that Xiaojun was not ready about this. That was the reason why Long Shan didn''t chase Xiaojun aggressively. He wanted to take things slowly like a gentle river.
Thus, Long Shan tried to persuade Xiaojun by saying, "Don''t worry, you can always say that you and I are good friends, and you treat Liling as you treat your child."
"Well, she will be your childter anyway," Long Shan giggled.
Xiaojun decided to ignore it. He was so embarrassed to be courted like this, though he didn''t say that he hated it. In fact, he actually liked it just a bit.
Long Shan predicted that Xiaojun would refuse toply. Thus in a sudden turn of event, Long Shan suddenly kissed Xiaojun''s hand and said, "If you don''t ept it, my lips will go up on your wrist arm shoulder..."
"SScoundrel!" Xiaojun pulled his hand immediately. Long Shan giggled mischievously and got up. "I take that as a yes, okay, Moon Rabbit?"
"Ugh," Xiaojun seemed to think for a while before he finally nodded. It was not really troubling anyway. He was just a tad embarrassed.
Besides, Long Shan really loved his daughter. It was good to help a father that wanted to bond with his daughter.
"I willply, but with one requirement," Xiaojun said.
"What is it? I will fulfil it!"
"After that festival ends, you muste with Liling and me, and we will spend time together!"
Chapter 40: Mommy Xiaojun! (3)
Chapter 40: Mommy Xiaojun! (3)
"After that festival ends, you muste with Liling and me, and we will spend time together!"
Long Shan''s mouth gaped wide as he was trying to process what Xiaojun just said. His eyes went red immediately. "WWill this be our parents-daughter time together? Is this our family quality time? MMoon Rabbit, I didn''t know that you are this willing"
"DDon''t get the wrong idea, damn it!" Xiaojun looked away to contain his embarrassment. "I just think that you and your daughter''s rtionship need to be talked about. You two fight a lot because you have horriblemunication with Liling, Long Shan. I don''t want this father-daughter rtionship to get strained even more because you never address the problem with Liling."
Long Shan was astonished by Xiaojun''s attentiveness. His heart was beating fast, and he held Xiaojun''s hand, "You are a perfect wife for me and perfect mother for Liling! Oh my Feng Xiaojun, marry me when you are ready, will you?"
"SStop with that! II already epted your request, just tell me the time and ce when I can meet Liling in school, and I wille!" Xiaojun said.
Long Shan''s smile flourished, and he nodded, "I will tell your secretary about the schedule, so you can fit it in your schedule," Long Shan said. He fiddled with his fingers, trying to utter something a bit selfish, "CCan I stay here for a while?"
"Huh? Why?"
"I just want to spend more time with you. You''ve been busy for so long. I missed you, future wife" Long Shan said.
Xiaojun hit Long Shan''s arm out of embarrassment, "SScoundrel! Leave now! Leave before I call the security guards!"
"Ouch" Long Shan didn''t get hurt at all. In fact, it was more like a yful nudge for him. But he yed it out and pouted innocently. "Wife, this is domestic abuse"
Xiaojun hit for the second time, "Domestic abuse, my ass! Leave now before I call the security guard! Don''t worry about Liling. I will take care of herter!"
Long Shan giggled got up from the sofa. "I will leave now. Thank you so much for your help, wife"
Long Shan crouched and kissed Xiaojun''s forehead before he left, leaving the stunned Xiaojun alone, "I will send you more poem tomorrow, love you."
Feng Xiaojun watched Long Shen''s big figure opened the door and closed it gently, leaving him dazed with a kiss on his forehead. It took a while until Shi Qiang entered the office and saw her boss had been boiled red.
"What happened when it''s only you two inside? Did he eat your tofu?" Shi Qiang asked.
"OOf course not! How could I get eaten by an idiot like him!" Xiaojun reacted strongly.
Shi Qiang watched how her boss was so red, it was so sure that his tofu had been eaten, perhaps just a bit, maybe a nibble?
''Anyway, I''m sure Long Shan will eat more in the future,'' Shi Qiang predicted.
"Boss Feng, go marry him. I am now aboard the ship of Long Shan X Feng Xiaojun," Shi Qiang said.
"You are talking nonsense!" Xiaojun yelled. He cleared his throat and tried to shift the topic, "AAnyway, when is Liling''s parents day festival?"
"On Saturday morning in her school, Master Long Shan said to me that he will personallye to your apartment and take you to Long Mansion and then go with Liling from the mansion."
"Wait, why do I need to go to Long Mansion first? I can just go to the school and meet Liling there."
"He doesn''t exin why, but he said that it''s important," Shi Qiang exined. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Long Shan seems to like you very much, Boss. Maybe you should give it a try when you are ready, of course. I know the societal pressure."
Feng Xiaojun was silent, he didn''t react to Liling''s advice, but he knew what she said might have some sense in it. Shi Qiang knew it would take a while until her boss could ept himself fully. Shi Qiang shrugged, "There will be no other man that would"
~You make me feel SPECIAL!~
Xiaojun''s ringtone rang when he was dazed. He checked the caller and saw the name,
Xingan.
"Ah, Jinxing is calling me," Xiaojun said.
Shi Qiang frowned, "Jinxing? Jiang Jinxing? The young master of Jiang family and Jiang Group CEO?"
"Yes."
"I don''t remember any scheduled meeting with him," Shi Qiang tried to remember the schedule again. She checked her phone to see her boss'' schedule, and nope, she doesn''t see any meeting with Jiang Jinxing.
"This is not about meeting" Feng Xiaojun said. He epted the call but identally pressed the loudspeaker, so Shi Qiang also heard Jinxing''s voice.
"Xiaojun Gege! Xiao-Ge, I just finished baking a cake for you! Do you want me to personally deliver this to you? I wille to the officeter, okay?"
Xiaojun and Shi Qiang stared at each other awkwardly. Shi Qiang was astonished because thest time she remembered, Jiang Jinxing was a charming, handsome, and bright young man that attracted many women and even said that he had a girlfriend.
Did his boss identally charmed Jiang Jinxing and bent him?
"Xingan, I told you not to send food every day, right?" Xiaojun said.
"Eehh why? Did you not like it? Did I identally cooked the wrong food?" Jinxing sounded lost on the call.
"No, it''s not that," Xiaojun sighed. He patted on his belly and continued, "You send me a lot of food every day, and I have to eat it. I am getting fat. You know I don''t have many times to exercise."
Jinxing chuckled, "If that is the problem, then I will start cooking diet food for you starting from tomorrow, okay?"
"You don''t need to"
"Aish, of course, I need to! I am the one who makes you fat. Of course, I need to be the one who makes you fit! Don''t worry Xiao-Ge!"
"But don''t you have work to do?"
"Of course, but whenever I have free time, I either y with Elizabeth and Jumin Han or cook for you. So I''m fine. Oh, I have to drive now. I have a meeting today. Talk to youter, Xiao-Ge!"
Beeeeep.
Shi Qiang took a deep breath and said, "Boss, you are lucky to have a lot of husbands."
Chapter 41: Mommy Xiaojun! (4)
Chapter 41: Mommy Xiaojun! (4)
On Saturday morning, Xiaojun got up and took a warm bath before preparing himself. Today was the day when he needed to apany Long Liling to her parents meeting in her school.
Xiaojun didn''t want to be too shy. Thus he used a white shirt and ck trouser with a loafer. He fixed his hair just right when he got a call from the receptionist of his apartment.
"Sir, there are many men wearing ck asking you to go down" the receptionist said, half scared.
"Okay, tell them to wait a moment," Xiaojun said. After he was ready, he used the executive elevator to go down. When he saw a big and mighty man with plenty of his underlings, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Why are you bringing your men?" Xiaojun asked Long Shan, who was wearing his regr ck hanfu. Long Shen smiled at Xiaojun and replied;
"I am escorting my bride to my Long Mansion. Of course, I have to be extra guarded," Long Shan said.
"Don''t say something stupid!" Feng Xiaojun pped Long Shan''s arm, which for Long Shan, felt like a cute nudge. Long Shan grinned while Xiaojun''s milky white cheek turned into strawberry milk for a moment.
"Okay, let''s just go now!" Xiaojun said.
Long Shan and Xiaojun entered a ck Rolls Royce with four more ck cars guarding them. Somehow, Xiaojun felt both secure and curious. He asked Long Shan curiously, "Are you always guarded like this whenever you go?"
"No," Long Shan replied with a smile. "I only do this when I pick Liling, and when I pick you, of course."
"Aish, why are you so flirty! You don''t look like a mafia at all!" Xiaojun said. "Hm? I don''t like a mafia at all?" Long Shan looked surprised. "What do you mean? I don''t look scary?"
"Well, you looked scary when I met you for the first time. But now, you don''t look so scary like this!" Xiaojun answered.
Long Shan smiled and held Xiaojun''s hand gently.
"A bear is one of the scariest animal ones could find in the wilderness. They can attack and rip your body easily. They are also highly territorial to their nest, but they are very loving to their child and mate. Just like how I don''t want to scare you or Liling because you are inside my nest."
Feng Xiaojun brushed Long Shan''s hand hurriedly and looked away, "You are so flirty! Women don''t like someone who is too flirty!"
Long Shan chuckled, "I only flirt to you, Moon Rabbit."
Xiaojun couldn''t handle the embarrassment and butterfly in his stomach. He distanced himself from Long Shen by sliding his butt near the door. Long Shan only stared at Xiaojun lovingly as the car entered the Long Mansion.
Long Shan and Xiaojun exited the car and saw Liling sitting with obvious contempt. Though, when she saw Xiaojun, she immediately jumped from her seat and rushed to Xiaojun. "Handsome Gege! You are finally here!" Liling said.
Xiaojun was a bit flustered with Liling''s enthusiasm. The champion of the underground fight club was currently wearing a light peach hanfu with a flower pattern. Her small figure made the hanfu looked too big on her, which made it even more endearing. Liling was actually very beautiful and elegant with this kind of clothing rather than her usual rugged shirt and jeans.
"You look lovely, Liling," Xiaojun praised.
Liling giggled and pulled Xiaojun inside the mansion, with Long Shan following them from behind. Liling brought him to a room garden view. "Handsome Ge, since you areing with me to the school festival, you should dress up with me!"
Long Shan nced at fewdies-in-waiting, and they understood immediately. They surrounded Xiaojun and said, "Master Feng, Master Long wants you to wear the hanfu. Pleasee with us."
"Wait, I will just use thisWait!"
Xiaojun was dragged by thedies. He was dragged to a room, and thedies gave him time to wear it himself. Xiaojun saw a white hanfu with sky blue ents. He sighed and decided to follow whatever Long Shan and Long Liling wanted.
After a while, Xiaojun slid open the door, and thedies were charmed immediately when they saw Xiaojun. "Oh, Buddha! Master Feng, you are so handsome! So ethereal!"
"Master Feng, your appearance will charm everyone!"
"Master Feng, how can you be this handsome!"
Xiaojun smiled at thepliments because he was used to it anyway. Thedies took him back to Long Shan and Liling.
"Master Feng is here!" onedy said excitedly.
Feng Xiaojun entered the room again right at the moment when Long Shan turned his head. Long Shan''s heart skipped the moment he saw Xiaojun again.
Xiaojun looked ethereal, indeed. He didn''t need any makeup to look handsome. He only wore this white and blue hanfu, and he was already as beautiful as a painting.
Long Shen''s face blushed immediately as he felt his knees were weak. He instantly knelt in front of Xiaojun and said, "Moon Rabbit, you look so gorgeous today."
Feng Xiaojun looked away, "WWhy are you kneeling like that! You are the master of this mansion!"
"Because the master of his mansion will still adore and submit to his beloved wife," Long Shan said. "You look too gorgeous to be true. Is this my prize of taking care of my daughter alone for many years?"
Xiaojun''s body was hot all over when Long Shan said that. He shook his head and looked at Liling, "Liling, do something to your dad!"Liling dodged Xiaojun''s eyes and shrugged, "It''s not my problem. My dad wants to marry you. I''m probably going to call you Mommy Xiaojun in the future."
Chapter 42: Mommy Xiaojun! (5)
Chapter 42: Mommy Xiaojun! (5)
Liling dodged Xiaojun''s eyes and shrugged, "It''s not my problem. My dad is really serious about marrying you. I''m probably going to call you Mommy Xiaojun in the future."
"That''s not how you" Xiaojun finally stopped nagging when he saw this hopeless mafia boss and his nonchnt underground fighter daughter. Both of them were just too stupid to realizemon sense. The more he mingled with this pair of father-daughter, the more he would go crazy and became stupid just like them.
"Alright, alright, let''s just forget this stuff, and let''s go to Liling''s school," Xiaojun said.
"Wait, before that" Long Shan nced at thedies-in-waiting. He signalled something that Xiaojun didn''t understand. Soon after, he realized what Long Shan nned.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Xiaojun panicked as he saw few photographers were entering the room with a big camera, lighting, and few props for a photoshoot. "What is this?!"
"Obviously, this is for our family photo!" Long Shan answered excitedly. "We are all in hanfu right now. We are ready for a family photo, right, Liling?" Long Shan looked at his daughter for support.
"Yep! I''d love a new family photo with my mom!" Liling said as he hugged Xiaojun''s arm like ady except thatdy gripped his arm so tight, it might actually break. She didn''t want Xiaojun to run away.
The photo crews started preparing the chair and the property that resembled cherry blossom season. Xiaojun looked nervous, especially when there was an underground fight champion holding him on his left hand, and a handsome mafia boss with bear-like strength, holding him on the right.
Long Shan patted Xiaojun''s hand gently, "Are you nervous? Don''t worry, it''s just a short photo session before you go with Liling to the school, okay?"
"BBut it is a family photo session, and I''m not even part of the family" Xiaojun reasoned, hoping Long Shan would concede.
But instead, Liling replied first, "Do you want my dad toe to Feng Grouppany tomorrow with his entourage to propose?"
"NNO!" I refused. "TThat''s too fast"
"Then, stay still and take a photo with us," Liling said. "I will hang the photo in my room since you are my new mommy."
Feng Xiaojun nodded weakly. As long as it could appease the big bear and his ultra strong little girl.
After the property has been set and there were two chairs for Xiaojun and Long Shan to sit, the photographer ordered them, "Please sit, Master Long, Master Feng."
Long Shan sat on the right chair, while Xiaojun sat on the left. Long Shan held Xiaojun''s hand gently and rubbed his hand, "You know, this is the first time I ever do a family photo for Liling."
"Really?" Xiaojun frowned. "How about her"
"My mom and my dad were politically married. They don''t even live in the same mansion after marriage, let alone after they got divorced," Liling replied nonchntly.
Long Shan still had a smile on his face, as if it was something that he hade in peace with for a long time. "Her mother is an adventurous woman, so I take care of Liling since she was two years old."
"II''m sorry to ask about it" Xiaojun apologized. It must have been hard for both Long Shan and Liling. "You did a great job raising him, Long Shan. Liling is a good girl."
"Well, it would be better if I have a family photo. You can be my handsome mom, Brother Feng," Liling said.
Feng Xiaojun looked at Liling. This girl was a true fighter, both physically and mentally. She was a strong girl, but in every child''s heart, there must be a wish that they could have a proper family.
''Maybe it is okay, just for Liling" Feng Xiaojun looked at Long Shan, and their eyes met instantly. Long Shan''s loving gaze did not fit his intimidating face and posture, albeit handsome. Xiaojun bet children would cry when they saw Long Shan.
''Okay, Long Shan also has worked hard to raise Liling. Maybe they do deserve this family picture" Xiaojun took a deep breath. Although he looked cold and domineering from outside, he was not a coldhearted man.
Since Long Shan and Long Liling had treated her well, it was time to show some gratitude. It was just a family picture anyway.
"Okay, eyes to the camera smile" the photographer directed them.
Long Shan and Feng Xiaojun sat on the chair with Long Shan holding Xiaojun''s hand. Meanwhile, Long Liling stood behind them with a bright smile on her face, which was very rare as an underground fighter.
Feng Xiaojun could feel Long Shan''s hot hand gently rubbing his hand lovingly. Xiaojun took a deep breath, and showed his sincere smile.
''So this is how it feels to have a husband and a daughter'' Feng Xiaojun pondered while the camera blitzes few times.
"Okay, done! Great picture, Master Long, Master Feng!" the photographer said.
Long Shan checked the picture immediately and was delighted.
They looked so good together. Long Shan wore a ck-red hanfu, while Xiaojun wore a white-sky blue hanfu, and his daughter Liling wore a peach pink hanfu. He was so happy that he hugged Xiaojun and Liling together in his big arms.
He kissed their cheeks in front of everyone and said, "You two are my precious daughter and wife. I will protect you two at all cost."

Chapter 43: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (1)
"Have fun in that school festival, okay?" Long Shan rubbed his daughter''s head and kissed Xiaojun''s forehead. He looked at Xiaojun a little bit longer and smiled, "Moon Rabbit, thank you."
Feng Xiaojun lowered his head and pulled Long Liling into the car, "DDon''t mention it, I''ve been way too busy in the office after all. A little bit of fun will not hurt."
"Bye, Dad," Liling sat beside Xiaojun, and they were off to the school. Liling nced at her new mom/dad, Xiaojun, who was dazed while staring at Long Shan, who was still standing at the gate, waving his hand like a dad who was sending his children off to some war or something. Liling sighed patted his shoulder, "Handsome brother, why are you dazed? Is something wrong?"
Feng Xiaojun shook his head and smiled thin, "It''s just I don''t know how to handle your father. He is very"
"Sticky, nosy, and feels like he is too much?" Liling asked.
"Kind of," Xiaojun nodded.
Liling sighed and leaned on the seat, "Handsome brother, maybe it feels a bit too much for someone like you, who have been raised in an elite house, like a young master. But my dad has been raised by grandpa as a warrior."
"My dad has been hardened with gang war that often happened during my grandpa''s reign. He was probably ten times stronger than me and could definitely crush someone into pulp with one hand. He led so many gang wars and sometimes a shootout with the police when he was young because grandpa wants him to be a coldhearted leader for Long family, just like all his predecessors."
"But that didn''t work out for grandpa. Turns out, dad has a very mellow heart. He loves poetry, carving, taking care of his bonsai trees and flowers" Liling giggled. "Even I don''t have that kind of sweet hobby."
"Well, Dad is indeed extremely strong and ruthless to his enemy, but that was in the past. After Dad take control over the Long Family, he tried to abandon all the bloodshed that my grandpa had. He also tried to make the Long Family business to be legal, as we are mostly rentingnd and apartment nowadays."
Long Liling looked at Feng Xiaojun with a smile on her face, "His affection might feel a bit too much for a young master like you, but that''s because he has been built as a warrior in the past. The Long Family will always prioritize someone whom they treasured greatly. That''s just his way to show that he cared for you so much."
"That being said, I don''t care whether you will like him back or not," Liling giggled. "I''m just happy that you can spend time with me. I''ve been dying to go to the school festival, but Dad is just too much!"
"Too much?" Xiaojun started imagining what kind of too much Long Shan would show in front of the people in a school festival. The only thing he imagined was Long Shan ring at boys who dared to approach her daughter.
"I think you got it already," Liling said. "He will stand tall and red at every boy who tried to approach me. Then he will continue to pester me even at home, asking whether I have a boyfriend or not, whether that boyfriend has a good background, whether that boyfriend is doing good in school."
"Yeah, he can be too much sometimes," Liling said. "His nosy behavior is the thing I hate the most about him. But I can''t help to also adore that trait from him because it''s a reminder. Although my mom is a bitch who cheats around with so many men, at least my dad loves me so much."
Feng Xiaojun learned few things from Liling. When he was with Long Shan, he felt suffocated with Long Shan''s affection. Turned out that was just how he showed his affection.
Though, it was still ufortable for Xiaojun, who was used to hide everything deep in his heart. He wouldn''t even say to his parents back in the day that he liked certain movies, or certain games, because if it didn''t contribute to his study, then his parents would never allow him to buy it.
That''s why Xiaojun was let loose in his BL hobby after he was officially an adult.
But he still kept most of his secret deep inside his heart, only letting certain people know.
For him to face someone like Long Shan, who expressed his love, his affection, and his interest so boldly, as clear as day, it was like a mental shock for him.
''I wish I have a great courage like Long Shan, to defy the path that his father had set for him, and change it to be better''
The car stopped in front of a big gate, where there were also many cars parked in the parking lot. "Handsome brother, we are here!" Long Liling said she pointed at her school gate.
Feng Xiaojun looked to the window where Liling pointed her finger at, and his jaw dropped.
"Liling you never said that you are studying in the most prestigious high school in the city."
"Huh? What''s that surprise for? My dad just wants me to study hard, so he sends me here," Liling frowned. It was quite weird for Feng Xiaojun to be surprised with such a thing. Since he was the CEO of Feng Group and obviously grew up with a silver spoon.
"No, not that" Xiaojun kept on staring at the school gate. "This was also my high school back then"
''With Jiang Jinxing'' Xiaojun said in his heart. As he kept staring at the gate, he started to get an ominous feeling.
''What is this bad feeling? Will I meet someone here?''
''Let''s just hope Jinxing is not here. That would be difficult to exin.''
Chapter 44: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (2)
Chapter 44: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (2)
They got off of the car and passed the school gate. The security guards recognized Long Liling immediately, but what they didn''t recognize was this man with Long Liling. They were specifically ordered by Master Long Shan of Long Family to watch over if Liling has a boyfriend.
"Wait, Long Liling, who is this guy with you? Your dad told us to watch over you," one security guard asked.
They stared at Xiaojun for a while and inevitably blushed when Xiaojun looked at them.
They were dazed when they saw a tall man with a white and blue hanfu, white milk skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes that blinked innocently at them, and a polite smile. There was no cold and domineering Feng Xiaojun today.
Just a beautiful man who looked like an immortal Daoist descended from the sky, gracing them with his beauty.
"Pardon me, I am Liling''s guardian. You can ask Master Long Shan for my identity."
''Goddamn! This guy is incredibly handsome. I might get bent because of him!'' the two security guards thought at the same time. They shook their heads and allowed Xiaojun and Liling to enter the school festival.
Feng Xiaojun felt so nostalgic when he saw the lines of food stalls, merchandise and essories stall, and also few more unique stalls presented in this festival. Some of the stalls were from outside, invited by the school to fill the slot, mostly selling food. While the merchandise, essory, and other misceneous were mostly filled with students from a club to earn more money.
Since this is the most prestigious school in the whole city and probably one of the wealthiest schools in the country, every price was blown out of proportion.
Feng Xiaojun looked at his left. There was someone who sold a Tanghulu written English as ''Candiet Fruit covered in sweet hardened caramel'' and sold it ten or twenty times more expensive.
A normal Tanghulu should be around seven yuan each but in this school festival? Seventy to two hundred yuan each, or about 30 dors each.
Well, it didn''t matter much, though. Since those who can enter this school are mostly millionaire or billionaire''s son or daughter. So they always think that everything was cheap until they had to manage their parents''pany and realized that most people didn''t have the same purchasing power as them.
Including Xiaojun, who was also a silver spoon since birth, ''Ah, I still remember that I thought two hundred yuan for a candy is so cheap.''
How did Xiaojun know all this? Because he was the student council president who managed this event when he was in this high school. He was known as the dreamy Senior Feng and was loved by so many women.
''Hehe, good times,'' Xiaojun thought.
Long Liling pulled Xiaojun around as she was also excited for this event. This was the first time for her to explore the school festival without her annoying dad. It was honestly refreshing.
Liling seemed to have her own destination, as she ignored every other stall and stopped right in front of a fried rice stall. Liling was the first customer, so she ordered two fried rice for 650 yuan or 100 dors and then sat on the seat.
Xiaojun frowned, "Why are you ordering fried rice? You don''t have your breakfast yet?"
"Well, yeah, I''m hungry, but" Liling tilted her head to the left for a better view and watched someone from that fried rice stall. Xiaojun followed Liling''s line of sight and saw a thin boy around Liling''s age. He had a small body but obviously had great strength since he could lift the pan full of fried rice lightly.
He wore an apron and cooked two tes of fried rice so skillfully, even Xiaojun got surprised. The young man walked to them with a bright smile on his face and put the fried rice on Xiaojun and Liling''s table.
"This is your fried rice. Thank you for ordering from my stall, Liling!" the young man said with a bright smile, showing a row of white teeth.
"DDon''t mention it. I''m also hungry, and you are a good cook," Liling replied shyly. "You should go back. There are more people lining up in your stall now."
"Ah, yes, I should!" the young man said. He stared at Liling for a good minute and then praised her, "Liling, you look so beautiful with that hanfu, like a goddess, hehe!"
The young man left them and returned to his stall because he needed to serve more customers. The usually strong underground fighter champion, Long Liling, was blushing pink peach on her cheeks, which gave Xiaojun a signal of something.
Xiaojun grinned mischievously, "Who is that young man? He is also a student here, right?"
"HHis name is Xu Fanghao. He is my ssmate," Liling answered. "He is active in ser. He is good with any sport other than basketball because of his height. He is also a great cook because his father is a celebrity chef."
"Wow, you seem to know so well about that young man. I doubt you even remember your teacher''s name," Xiaojun snickered.
Liling red at Xiaojun, but she sighed after that, "Isn''t it obvious already? I like him because he is so bright, athletic, cute, and also a great cook. Definitely my type!"
Xiaojun giggled at Liling, who was in love, "I assume that your dad doesn''t know this."
"Of course, he doesn''t," Liling rolled her eyes. "I still remember when there was a senior who has a crush on me when I was a freshman here. He asked for my number, and I give mine to him because he''s kind of cute."
"And the next day, my dad kidnapped that senior by ordering his men. Then he was brought to Long Mansion for questioning. After that, whenever he saw me, he ran away immediately. I asked my dad about it, and he just said that he told that young man not to y with my feeling, or he and his family will suffer."
"Ah, I think I get it now," Xiaojun chuckled. "Your dad is just worried and actually allowed him if he wants to be your boyfriend, right?"
"Yes, my dad approved. But he intimidated that poor senior too much that he couldn''t even stand straight now."
Iughed heartily. Now I get why Liling said that Long Shan could be a bit too much.
Liling sighed and started digging the fried rice. Xiaojun got up and said to Liling, "I will get some c. Just wait here, okay?"
Feng Xiaojun went to a luxury vending machine in the school, where one c was 200 Yuan. He bought two and was going to return to Liling.
Until he heard someone called him, "Xiao-Ge?"
Chapter 45: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (3)
Chapter 45: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (3)
"Xiao-Ge?" Feng Xiaojun heard someone called him from behind. He looked back and saw the handsome, fresh young man, with his signature box smile smiling at him. He wore his usual suit instead of hanfu or something more festival-y. Signifying that he was just a guest here instead of a student''s parents or guardian.
"Xiao-Ge! I can''t believe we met here! Is this fate? Maybe we are fated to be together, Xiao-Ge! Haha!" Jinxing looking really happy that he could meet his Xiao-Ge. He took one step in to close their gap and asked, "What''s Xiao-Ge doing here?"
Feng Xiaojun stared at Jinxing, and he tilted his head in confusion and asked the same question back at him, "Jinxing, why are you here? Didn''t you say that you have a meeting in New York today?"
"Yeah, I was going to, but my client, Yang-Ge or Yang Menghuo, suddenly returned to China for some reason," Jinxing said. He sighed, seemingly full of woe, "That guy is a handful. Don''t you know that he was so panicked when he found out that the woman he was in love with was still opening and ordering a new rental boyfriend in my Rent A Boyfriend app? He''s afraid that she''ll get snatched by other men while he went to New York for a business meeting."
"That''s why he called me and ordered me to meet him in New York to discuss this further problem since he owns almost half of the stock of that application. I already scheduled my private jet to fly, but Yang-Ge suddenly cancelled our meeting right before I head to the airport."
Jinxing crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, "Seriously, you know what he wants me to do? He wants me to delete that apppletely! Of course, I refuse no matter how much money he has! That application makes millions, MILLIONS!" Jinxing yelled out loud.
"Yang Menghuo, hm" Of course, Xiaojun knew who Menghuo was. That man was the richest, actually the one above Jinxing when ites to worth right now. But he rarely showed his face and rarely do anything significant except investing here and there to get more money.
Xiaojun stared at Jinxing and asked again, "You still haven''t answered my question, though. Why are you here?"
"Ah, well, I got annoyed by him. We had a meeting in his office, and he talked so much this and that about his Ying Jie. I feel like I''ve listened to Ying Jie''s autobiography in three hours audio, and I don''t even know her," Jinxing said. "Seriously, that guy is seriously whipped to his Ying Jie."
"Well, Yang-Ge gave me around five million yuan aspensation because he pestered me for the whole day! But that''s so little, right? What can I do with five million yuan? That''s not even one million US dor!" Jinxing said. "So I was feeling generous and went here to donate all thatpensation money to our high school!"
"Hm five million yuan is a fair amount, I guess," Xiaojun nodded approvingly.
"I mean, I think I have been graced by god because of my good deed of donating!" Jinxing said. "If meeting you only cost me five million yuan, I can always drop fifty million yuan every day as long as I can meet you every day, Xiao-Ge!"
"YYou are overexaggerating!" I said as I lowered my gaze a bit. Because seeing Jinxing''s box smile always made my heart went doki-doki for no apparent reason.
Jiang Jinxing giggled happily. He noticed the two cs on Xiao-Ge''s hands and his white-blue hanfu. Jinxing chuckled in awe, "Whoa, Xiao-Ge looks so handsome with white-blue hanfu. I almost thought that an immortal cultivatores down from the heavenly realm to grace me here!"
"YYou are always good with your glib, Xingan," Yunyu said as he called Jinxing with his small name.
"Hihi~ What are you doing here, Xiao-Ge?"
"I uh I''m a guardian for a student here," I said.
"A guardian? Is it like your niece, nephew or?" Jinxing asked.
Xiaojun wanted to say that Liling was his daughter because he felt more parental feeling towards Liling. But that''d create unnecessary misunderstanding, so Xiaojun just replied with, "Yeah, niece."
"Oh, nice! I want to meet her!" Jinxing said. "Where is she?"
Feng Xiaojun darted his eyes at Liling, who was currently chatting with her crush, Xu Fanghao. It seems there was someone else taking over his job for a while, so Xu Fanghao could rest. And he used that resting time to treat Liling a c, and then they talked like two lovebirds.
It was obvious in their gestures that both of them were interested in each other.
Not wanting to be a party pooper for Liling and her crush, I turned my body to face Jinxing and said, "She''s busy with her boyfriend. Do you want to have high school nostalgia? It''s been years since thest time I returned to our high school."
Jinxing blinked few times. His mouth was gaping wide. He couldn''t believe that his beloved, greatest, most handsome Senior Feng was actually inviting him on a date!
Jinxing nodded vigorously. His handsome face was beaming with happiness, "Yes! This must be a payback because of my generosity to donate money here. Xiao-Ge, say, if I donate a hundred million dors, would the reward be even greater? A marriage, perhaps?" Jinxing winked mischievously.
Xiaojun blushed and handed one c to Jinxing and said, "Just shut up and let''s go."
Jinxing took the c as if it was a precious gift and nodded happily, "Sure! Let''s go on our nostalgia date, Xiao-Ge!"
Chapter 46: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (4)
Chapter 46: A High School Nostalgia with Senior Feng! (4)
Feng Xiaojun and Jiang Jinxing strolled through the corridors full of students dressing up for the school festival. Some students opened a haunted house attraction, those who opened a maid caf of some sort, and even some who opened a fortune-telling booth.
Feng Xiaojun and Jiang Jinxing paced slowly, looking at the lively corridor. Although some decorations had changed, everything was the exact same when they were students here. Though Xiaojun didn''t seem to remember much, Jinxing had a clear memory for it. He nced at his handsome Senior Feng andmented, "Xiao-Ge, did you remember how cool you were back then?"
"Am I?"
"Yes! Xiao-Ge was so handsome, cool, and every girl in the school likes you. I really thought that I may not be able to even talk with you" Jinxing said truthfully. He looked a bit disappointed and continued, "If only I can have more bravery back then"
Xiaojun chuckled and rubbed Jinxing''s hair, "Why are you so depressed about it? I''m here with you now."
"Well, true! It''s just if only I can confess back then, I might have been able to marry you right now!" Jinxing said with all his brutal honesty.
Feng Xiaojun couldn''t help but blush with such honesty, and he looked away, "Why are you so glued with me anyway? You are Jiang Young Master. You can get any men or women of your choice."
"But does that choice has you in it?" Jinxing asked innocently. "I don''t want any of them if you''re not in that selection."
Xiaojun sighed and walked few steps faster than Jinxing to ignore his shameless remark. Jinxing had been really bold nowadays, and he loved ying like a good housewife. He often cooked for him, asked him if he had returned to his apartment, and even went as far as proposing them to live together so Jinxing could ''take care'' of his Xiao-Ge.
"XXiao-Ge, don''t leave me!" Jinxing trotted to catch up to his Xiao-Ge. "What are you embarrassed for, Xiao-Ge? I''m just telling the truth"
"You''ve set an ideal image of me. I''m not that kind of Senior Feng in your imagination" Xiaojun said. "You''re treating me more like an idol."
"WWell, if I can be honest, I just feel like you are an amazing person, Xiao-Ge. Not only when we were in high school, but also right now," Jinxing said. "I know that you''re the Young Master from Feng Family, but your father''spany was in peril before, and you are the one who revives it back to its former glory. Even better, you''re the one who carried it to the new height."
"I''m just a Young Master who follows my parents'' path that has been set for me. I follow everything they said like an obedientpdog, but I want to do something for myself. Since everything has been set for me with just one thing left"
Jinxing suddenly grabbed Xiaojun''s hand and dragged him to an empty corridor, quite far from the crowded corridor used for the event. Jinxing still remembered the spots in this school, as he often used some quiet corridors to stalk his Xiao-Ge when he was in high school.
"Where are we goingAh!" Xiaojun winced as Jinxing suddenly pushed him to the wall in this empty corridor. The same corridor where they were just an idol and an admirer in high school. Jinxing would watch from afar as the handsome male god was reading some advanced math book. He still remembered how Senior Feng would grin, chuckle, or even blush whenever he read the math book.
It always made him wonder, ''Does Senior Feng love math so much?''
Jinxing pushed Xiaojun to the wall and locked Xiaojun with his hands between Xiaojun''s shoulders. The small and meek boy from high school had turned into a handsome, bright man with a signature box smile that would melt everyone''s heart. He was also a bit taller than Xiaojun now.
Jiang Jinxing wanted to make himself look cool in front of his Xiao-Ge, something that he could only dream of when he was in high school. But now, his Xiao-Ge was in between his hands, locked with nowhere to leave. It made him both excited and scared.
Scared that he might die out of a heart attack because his heart was beating like crazy right now, and his face was blushing so hard.
"XXiao-Ge. Listen to Xing''an, okay? I have been my parents''pdog for so long, everything has been set for me since the very start"
"But I want to choose something by myself, at least once in my life, and I''ve decided that I will determine whom I will love"
"So"
Feng Xiaojun saw Jinxing closed his eyes and leaned in slowly. Xiaojun automatically closed his eyes as well and let Jinxing take control. For the first time, the meek Jinxing finally kissed his handsome Senior Feng.
Their lips met in a gentle but evesting kiss.
And Jinxing stopped resisting his urge as he slowly engulfed Xiaojun''s waist with his hands. Jinxing took the initiative to peck Xiao-Ge''s lips few times. Truthfully, he could do this forever. Jinxing even thought about going further.
But when Jinxing''s hands started crawling on Xiaojun''s butt, then Xiaojun pushed Jinxing away.
Feng Xiaojun''s face was beet red, his lips were wet after Jinxing kissed and pecked it few times. But it didn''t seem that he hated it. He just said, "What a scoundrel, acting like an innocent guy."
Jiang Jinxing looked lost as he was separated from his favourite person. But when he saw how his Xiao-Ge was blushing hard, he giggled happily.
"Xiao-Ge, thank you for being my first kiss."
*please read author''sment, thank you*
Chapter 47: Courage and Decisiveness
Chapter 47: Courage and Decisiveness
Feng Xiaojun looked away as Jinxing kept staring at him with his hot gaze. Of course, he didn''t expect the cute Jinxing to actually act like a scoundrel and kissed him on the lips. This was his second kiss with his first kiss with Papa dragon, Long Shan, back then.
But that didn''t mean he hated it. In fact, Xiaojun couldn''t help but redden as he got stared at by Jinxing.
"Is that really your first kiss?" Xiaojun asked.
"Yes! Xiao-Ge is my first kiss, and I''m really grateful that you are!" Jinxing giggled happily. He showed his signature box smile and tried to hug Xiaojun, but Xiaojun dodged, so Jinxing only hugged empty air.
Xiaojun cleared his throat and fixed his hanfu, "We''re not close enough to do something like this too much."
"Then, how do we be closer?" Jinxing asked enthusiastically. "He truly wanted to be closer to his Xiao-Ge, or even better, to be his boyfriend."
"II''m not nning on dating someone right now," Feng Xiaojun said. Honestly, he also didn''t know what his heart desired. He wanted to date someone, of course, but he was afraid that it wouldn''tst long.
Besides, he had a reputation to maintain. What''d happen if he dated someone and it was leaked all over the news? He was exceptionally terrified that the stock of Feng Group would plummet after the news had been leaked out.
Feng Group was now on top of the game, and Feng Xiaojun wouldn''t want to push thepany to ruination just because he wanted to fall in love. Maybe not now maybe never
Xiaojun sighed. He nced at Jinxing.
Compared to him, Jinxing was extremely lucky. He already had everything set up for him, and he could still afford to fall in love with someone.
''I want to fall in love too'' Xiaojun said in his heart. But he shook his head to regain his rationalization and said to Jinxing,
"Jinxing, why are you so open about your interest in me? Do you know that homosexuality is frowned upon in society?"
"Eh? I guess it''s frowned upon. But I don''t really care. I''d rather fall in love with the person that I choose, rather than following the society standard," Jinxing leaned on the wall leisurely. He answered the question without a burden in his words.
"Xiao-Ge, if you continue to worry about what other people think, then you might not be able to realize how much you''ve missed. So I''d rather risk it all than just letting the society take control of me," Jinxing said.
"Then, how about your parents? Are you not afraid that they''ll hate you if you''re gay?" Xiaojun asked again.
Feng Xiaojun and Jiang Jinxing had a simr background, so Xiaojun could rte to Jinxing more. Jinxing seemed to think for a second, then he shrugged.
"I''m already twenty three years old, I know I might be a disappointment for my parents because I don''t like girls, but I''d rather be happy for myself first. There are a lot of achievements to be proud of. rather than forcing yourself to fit ideal criteria."
"Because I am a human who wants to feel love," Jinxing said.
Feng Xiaojun stared at Jiang Jinxing. He barely remembered Jinxing back then in high school, except that he was a cowardly and silent type of person.
Who would''ve expected that kid grew into a handsome young man, with a box smile and such decisiveness in his heart. Even Xiaojun didn''t have that kind of courage.
He felt that Jinxing''s courage flowed into his heart also, and he just gazed at Jinxing in silence, awed by his courage and decisiveness.
Jiang Jinxing got worried as his Xiao-Ge stopped talking so suddenly. He turned his head to check on his Xiao-Ge, then realized that Xiao-Ge had been staring at him for a while. It was the first time that Xiao-Ge ever stared at him, so Jinxing jolted a bit and became awkward.
His cheeks started to redden, and he asked, "XXiao-Ge, please don''t stare at me for too long. You''re making me awkward"
Jinxing got even more embarrassed and tried to dodge. He was the first one to initiate, but when his Xiao-Ge actually gave him a bit of attention, he became so embarrassed that he didn''t know what to do next.
"DDo you want something? I can leave now and get it for youWHA!"
Jiang Jinxing was shocked when Xiao-Ge suddenly hugged him tight. Jinxing''s arms iled around as he got panicked when his Xiao-Ge hugged him.
"XXiao-Ge! Is there something wrong? Did I say something wrong? I didn''t mean to"
"No, you said the right thing, Xing''an. I''m hugging you because you''re very courageous. I admire you," Xiaojun said.
Jinxing finally stopped iling around. He carefully put his hand around Xiao-Ge''s waist and reciprocated the hug. They gently embraced each other, with Jinxing tightening his hug, pulling Xiaojun deeper.
"Courage huh" Jinxing knew that Xiao-Ge had repressed his urge for so long. Jinxing knew that he was gay the moment he met Senior Feng, and his gaydar told him that Senior Feng also had the same orientation as him.
It was just he decided not to care, but Xiao-Ge was someone who put so much emphasis on his reputation.
And Jinxing knew it wasn''t easy either, so he didn''t want to push Xiao-Ge.
"Xiao-Ge, I will wait until you''re ready."
Chapter 48: Fortune Telling (1)
Chapter 48: Fortune Telling (1)
"Xiao-Ge, I will wait until you''re ready."
"Aish, what do you mean until I''m ready? Do you think I''m gay like you?" Xiaojun denied. As a man raised by homophobic parents, he was afraid that someone else found out about his sexuality. He couldn''t afford to put thepany in jeopardy because of this.
"Um it''s like, that gaydar thing, you know. Back then, I thought it''s just me who has turned gay because of your charm, Xiao-Ge. But as I grow up, my gaydar keeps ringing that you''re a gay, a cut-sleeve in the closet, hehe~" Jinxing said unscrupulously.
"TThat''s just your imagination, I"
Jinxing suddenly nted his lips on Xiaojun again for a light kiss, which made Xiaojun stunned and then made his face turned red again.
"See, you''re not fighting against me after that kiss. I mean, I''ve kissed you three times so far, Xiao-Ge. Do you want me to kiss you again just to make sure?" Jinxing giggled mischievously.
"NNo! No need!" Xiaojun distanced himself from Jinxing and turned around. "FFine then, whatever, what if I''m gay? Will you share this with other people?"
"Huh? Sharing? I don''t want to share!" Jinxing said, and he hugged Xiaojun from behind. "Xiao-Ge, I won''t tell anyone about you because I''m afraid someone will try to covet you from me! Xiao-Ge is mine only!" Jinxing said, his tone sounded more like a child whose favorite toy was about to be stolen by another kid, as he hugged Xiaojun tighter.
Xiaojun could feel something poking him from behind, which made him even more ashamed because it was actually big and hard.
XXing''an, fine, I get it. I trust you, JJust release me now!" Xiaojun tried to push Jinxing away to no avail. Jinxing just hugged him even tighter and said, "I refuse to let Xiao-Ge go!"
Feng Xiaojun sighed. Jinxing still acted like a kid, seriously. Though, it was quite obvious, knowing Jinxing''s family background as a pampered Young Master. He always got everything that he wanted and didn''t want to share.
"I''m fine for you to hug me like this, but your thing is poking me. Why are you hard anyway?" Xiaojun asked.
It took a while for Jiang Jinxing to register what Xiao-Ge just said, and he blushed while releasing Xiao-Ge from his embrace. He checked his slim-fit trouser that had a prominent bulge, a big and hard one that was.
Now, it was Jinxing who blushed like a tomato, "IIt''s not my fault that Xiao-Ge is so handsome and sexy."
"Don''t say something stupid!" Xiaojun walked away hurriedly because staying with Jinxing for too long wasn''t good for his heart, really.
"XXiao-Ge, don''t leave your husband behind!" Jinxing tried to chase Xiaojun, and Xiaojun started running as Xiaojun chased him.
"Husband? What husband!?" Xiaojun yelled as he ran away from Jinxing.
"I am your husband, Xiao-Ge! Don''t drop my heart like this!" Jinxing started running to chase Xiaojun.
"I''m nobody''s wife or husband or whatever! Aaahhh!"
Feng Xiaojun and Jinxing ran in the corridor, watched by people who pondered what these two handsome male gods were doing. They ran until Xiaojun was out of breath, while Jinxing stopped chasing after catching up with his Xiao-Ge.
Both of them were catching up some breath, and Jinxing asked, "Xiao-Ge huff wwhy are you running?"
"Because you''re embarrassing me! Huff huff" Xiaojun yelled at Jinxing.
"That''s embarrassing? TThen, I guess we will have to start doing a marathon, Xiao-Ge." Jinxing said.
Everyone watched these two handsome male gods for a while until they were busy again with their activities and business.
Xiaojun and Jinxing were walking side by side to rx a bit, then they were stopped by a student who suddenly stood in front of them with a small poster hanging on her neck.
"Hello, two handsome brothers, do you want to know your future? Your current life? Your business? Or even your future spouse? You''re in the right ce! We have a totally legit fortune teller, famed across thend, and totally not a scam! Madame LeLies!"
"Fortune-telling?" Xiaojun and Jinxing frowned at the same time.
They didn''t expect a student could be this creative that they actually opened a fortune-telling booth. They darted at the table pointed by the student and saw another student, female, hidden in a robe and cape that was definitely a bedsheet. Because the ''robe'' still had Dora and Boots dancing together in it.
Jiang Jinxing wasn''t interested in something like this. In fact, he actually disliked it. Because he was someone who followed good karma and bad karma, as long as you did good, you would be rewarded by something good. If you did wrong, you would be punished with misfortunes.
It was like a simple formtion, so he never cared about something like this. Nobody could predict the future after all.
"Xiao-Ge, let''s just go," Jinxing grabbed his Xiao-Ge''s hand. However, Xiaojun was standing still, observing the fortune teller.
Indeed, he was also not a believer or something ridiculous like fortune-telling, but his gut feeling right now told him this scam Madame LeLies could actually predict his future, at least some of it.
Thus, Xiaojun replied with, "Xing''an, can you get us lunch or something first? I want to talk with this fortune teller a bit."
"But" Jinxing couldn''t believe that his Xiao-Ge actually got tempted by scam fortune-telling by a high school girl. But, when he saw Xiao-Ge''s eyes, he didn''t have the heart to tell him that he was being stupid right now.
So Jinxing just sighed and said, "Okay, Xiao-Ge. I will buy you lunch. You like Jiaozi, right?"
[Note Jiaozi: Steamed Dumpling.]
"How did you?"
"Hehe~ I just know. Wait here, Xiao-Ge, I will be back!" Jinxing said as he left Xiaojun.
Xiaojun watched Jinxing as he rushed to find good food for his Xiao-Ge.
"Okay, Handsome Gege, sit down."
Chapter 49: Fortune Telling (2)
Chapter 49: Fortune Telling (2)
"Okay, Handsome Gege, sit down."
The girl wearing a poster dragged Xiaojun toe and sit on the chair directly facing the supposed fortune-teller.
The fortune-teller smirked and then started speaking with her try-hard mysterious voice, "Wee toAck!" The fortune teller was about to say something when her friend identally stepped on her Dora and Boots sheet and pulled her neck.
"Ah, sorry, sorry!" the friend apologized. The fortune-teller red at her and then fixed her ''robe.'' She sat on her seat again and then tried to speak in that same mysterious voice.
''Definitely not a good start,'' Xiaojun said in his heart.
"Wee, Handsome Brother. I see that you''re interested in seeing your future. Do you want to see your money? Your family circle? Or just your love life?"
Feng Xiaojun stared at the crystal ball on the table. If he remembered correctly, he also saw someone actually sold the same thing in front of the school, like a stand of misceneous items.
''Did this girl just buy the crystal ball from outside just now?'' Xiaojun kept on thinking.
The girl watched the handsome brother, and then he said, "Gege, I see the other gege with you just now actually had a huge crush on you in the past, and you might be the realization of him turning gay, but only for you."
Feng Xiaojun almost jumped out of his seat. His eyes widened as he gawked at the girl, "HHow did you know?"
"Hehe, told you, right? I am Madame LeLies! I am a totally legit fortune-teller! Don''t see me just because I am a high school student. I''m actually a demon from theher realm, an envoy from my lord, Endless Entity! Muahahaha!"
"Oi, look at Wei Fangsong! She still has her delusion as the demon girl since eighth grade, ahahaha!" One boy who passedughed at the fortune-teller.
"Ish, shut up! Just go now, you ass!" The fortune-teller yelled at the boy. Then she continued, "Okay, Handsome brother, I will be reading your love life since you seem to be most concerned about that, am I right?"
''Am I the stupid one here to actually sit and listen to her?'' Xiaojun pondered. But he nodded in response to that question, and the fortune-teller started chanting some gibberish words in anguage that seems to be Spanish.
Bmeo si fuera ltima vez
Y ensame ese pasito que no s
Un besito bien suavecito, beb
Taki taki
Taki taki, rumba!
Xiaojun frowned as he continued pondered, ''Wait, is this a song? I think this is a song, but I''m too old to know about this. I heard it on the radio in my car once, though."
"Taki Taki Rumba! Aiyayayaya!" The girl chanted again, and then she stared at her magic crystal.
"Hmm I see I see this is quite difficult. Hmm" the girl mumbled. "This is a blessing, but a difficult blessing"
Xiaojun got curious as the girl kept on mumbling, and then he asked, "What? What did you see?"
"Hmmm handsome brother, I see that you have such a nd love life for your whole life without anyone by your side. Until your life suddenly turned upside down, maybe you''re the main character of a BL novel? It seems there are three very handsome, well-known, and rich men who are chasing you right now."
Xiaojun gawked even more, when he heard this. Because this girl actually told him about exactly three men who were haunting him right now, "HHow did you know?"
"Well, I''ve been showered by the power of my lord, Endless Entity! But, he said that you need to give me money first, so I can continue my reading, hehe~."
"What is that Endless Entity anyway?"
"Hehe, it''s a character from a novel that I love, called Awakening of Endless Entity! It''s cool stuff. You must read it!"
''Why does this feel like an advertisement?'' Feng Xiaojun pondered and then sighed, "How much do you need?"
"Good brother, I''m charging for cheap. I just need around ten thousand Yuan for your reading. Because your fortune reading is like hard stuff, hehe~."
Xiaojun rolled his eyes. It was only 1500 dors anyway. Xiaojun fished out his wallet and gave her a credit card, "Do you ept Credit Card?"
"Certainly!" The girl snatched the credit card. After the transaction was done, the girl chanted a random song again and then nodded alongside a continuous hum.
"Handsome brother, I see that you''re loved by a handsome mafia boss with a daughter. He even wants you to be his wife and mother/second father for his daughter. You''re loved by that handsome brother who walked with you just now. He''s even ready to marry you whenever you want to."
"And, there is this mysterious figure. I cannot see clearly, but he is a BL author as a side job but actually very popr with his real identity," the girl described three men in his life right now precisely.
''Papa Dragon, Xing''an, Zhu''er'' Xiaojun thought. ''Wait... Zhu''er is actually very popr? Is he an actor or something?''
"But I see that you''re still doubtful of which one to choose. You''re still scared of yourself and your own life, so romance is still out of the question for you. I believe that you should ept yourself first, Handsome brother," the girl said. "Don''t try to fit in just because of the society. It will only hurt you for your lifetime."
Feng Xiaojun was stunned because that was what he experienced right now. He knew that he was gay, but he had to fit in for society, and incredibly, for his homophobic mom.
"I have one more question," Xiaojun asked. "Which one will be my spouse in the future?"
"Wait, let me check first," the girl continued her chanting and then nodded. "This is very interesting, handsome brother, you will end up with"
"Xiao-Ge, I got your food!" Jinxing suddenly showed up and dragged Xiaojun away. "Let''s go eat somewhere!"
"WWait, I" Xiaojun wanted to know the answer, but Jinxing kept on pulling him. "No time, let''s go! I''m hungry! I bought you your favorite steamed dumpling!"
Xiaojun sighed and then ignored the rest of his fortune-telling to follow Jinxing.
Meanwhile, the fortune-teller just shrugged nonchntly, "Oh well, it doesn''t matter anyway. I just hope that handsome brother''s chrysanthemum and big member will be alright after so many activities every night. Tsk, tsk~"
Chapter 50: Handsome and Caring
Chapter 50: Handsome and Caring
Jiang Jinxing dragged his Xiao-Ge to the schoolyard, and they ate their lunch together. They were being watched by some students who passed by.
Well, of course, because both Jiang Jinxing and Feng Xiaojun were so handsome, it was so rare for two handsome adults toe to this school festival filled with students and parents.
They wondered whether Xiaojun and Jinxing were here to attend on behalf of their little brother/sister''s invitation. Or was it because they were dating and used this school festival as their date spot?
Feng Xiaojun felt a bit ufortable with the stares of the people because he wasn''t exactly someone who liked the spotlight.
Yet, when he nced at Jinxing, this junior of his was grinning proudly, even intentionally slid his butt closer to Xiaojun to make them looked even more harmonious in front of the passerby.
"Aish, why are you so close? This bench is so long, you know," Xiaojunined.
"Well, yeah, but it''s been a while since we spent time together, Xiao-Ge. I want to show people that I have Xiao-Ge as my boyfriend!" Jinxing imed shamelessly.
"Who is your boyfr" Feng Xiaojun sighed and massaged his temple. He knew that Jinxing was very bold and shameless, so there was no way of denying him in the end. "Alright, alright, do whatever you want, Xing''an. Just don''t go iming it in the media."
"Ehehe, of course not yet. I will invite media on our wedding day~" Jinxing replied.
Feng Xiaojun''s cheeks reddened after. He didn''t expect Jinxing to be so shameless and confident about it.
They finished their lunch and chatted a bit more. Jinxing was especially talkative, asking his Xiao-Ge about their life in high school back then, "Xiao-Ge, I remember that you''re acting as the Student Council President for two years. I was so amazed back then because you''re such a charismatic butx president that never seem to get stressed by the amount of workload given to you!"
Xiaojun choked on the water he drank after he heard that. He wiped his mouth and replied with an awkward answer, "Ah uh I guess I''m just good at it."
He didn''t have the heart to tell Jinxing, whose eyes were glimmering with admiration towards him. Because the truth wasn''t as noble as it looked.
Feng Xiaojun recalled his time as the Student Council President. The only reason he was there was that a handsome teacher asked him to be one.
''Ah, I was such a face-con back then, when that teacher asked me to be the Student Council President, I can''t refuse.''
"Feng Xiaojun, you''re the most popr student in the school. You''re also athletic and smart. Will you be the next Student Council President? I''m sure nobody will protest about this," The handsome teacher in his early twenties said. He smiled and gave Xiaojun the application letter, "Please ept it."
The handsome teacher stared at his eyes, directly touching his heart. It made the ''cold'' and ''uncaring'' Feng Xiaojun almost lost strength on his knees.
In the end, like a marriage proposal, Feng Xiaojun epted the application letter and said, "II do, teacher, I do."
''Now, where is the ring?'' Xiaojun pondered back then.
''Ah, I was such an idiot!'' Feng Xiaojun wanted to p his face after realizing how much of a dumbass he was back then. Just because the teacher was so handsome, Xiaojun became stupid and epted everything, including the workload a Student Council President had to do.
It was also the reason why he couldn''t read more BL books in school. Because most of it was taken by Student Council duty. The only time he could read was during his ''study'' session. That was the reason why he never studied.
It was fortunate that he was born smart.
''Thank you, Father, Mother, for you two have blessed me with high intelligence. Although that intelligence has been tainted by reading too much BL and imagining it firsthand, hehe.''
Jiang Jinxing took his Xiao-Ge''s silence as the sign of his affirmation, and his respect and admiration towards his beloved Xiao-Ge were boosted even more!
He held his Xiao-Ge''s hand and then said, "Xiao-Ge! I will make sure to be the kind of man that will fit your taste! Tell me, what kind of man you''re searching for? I will be the best version of myself!"
"Uh what kind of man"
Xiaojun pondered by himself. He never thought there would be times someone actually asked about his ideal man.
''Hm he has to be handsome, that''s the first thing,'' Xiaojun nced at Jinxing. ''Okay, Xing''an is already very handsome. He is also caring and makes mefortable whenever he is around.''
''But that also happens for Papa Dragon he is handsome, very caring, and makes mefortable around.''
Then Xiaojun also remembered Zhu''er. He had been trying to contact that guy, hoping for a second date, but Zhu''er had only left him on read for so long that he was afraid something went wrong during their first date.
All of them made himfortable, so he really had no reason to pick one.
But if I have to pick one
Feng Xiaojun stared at Jinxing, whose eyes glimmered with admiration and love. Jinxing held his Xiao-Ge''s hand and said, "Xiao-Ge, I will always make you happy. Don''t worry, I can always wait patiently."
Feng Xiaojun didn''t know how to answer Jinxing, but at the same time, he enjoyed Jinxing''s care and bold love, especially when Jinxing held his hands like this.
They were in this position for a while until someone suddenly called him "Handsome Brother."

Chapter 51: Love is War!
"Handsome Brother"
Feng Xiaojun realized the owner of this voice. He immediately pulled his hand off Jinxing''s and then got up from the bench awkwardly.
"A-Ah, Liling, how is your date with that boy? Is it good? Do you need anything? I will help you," Xiaojun rambled as he tried to get out of this awkward situation. But it didn''t seem to be convincing enough for Long Liling.
She stared at her Handsome Brother and future second father, Feng Xiaojun, with aplicated gaze. Then she just shook her head with a thin smile on her face, "I had fun, but I feel tired. Can we return now?"
Feng Xiaojun held his breath. He knew he had nothing to hide from Liling since he wasn''t in a rtionship with Long Shan. But at the same time, he also felt guilty because Liling saw him with Jinxing like this.
And she still acted as if nothing happened.
"OOkay then," Feng Xiaojun looked at Jinxing and then said, "Xing''an, I will leave now. Thank you for the treat," Xiaojun said.
"Xiao-Ge, but" Jinxing wanted to say something, but Xiao-Ge just walked away and just left him alone. He looked lost as he kept staring at his Xiao-Ge''s back.
Feng Xiaojun looked over his shoulder. When he saw the lost expression on Jinxing''s face, he knew that Jinxing must''ve felt a bit defeated after the warmth they shared together suddenly dispersed just because of Liling.
Meanwhile, Long Liling had been thinking about what she saw just now. She just realized how popr Handsome Brother was and that her father wasn''t the only romantic interest for Handsome Brother.
He was Feng Xiaojun, the handsome and cold CEO, popr in magazines. Although he always refused TV interviews, probably to make himself less recognizable.
Long Liling thought it wouldn''t be too difficult for her father to get Feng Xiaojun''s heart, but it seemed that she had underestimated Handsome Brother and all his admirers.
Now she felt pity for her father. Although she was only sixteen, she knew well what was inside her father''s mind. He would never treat someone else this gentle except for people he loved, and Xiaojun was the first person for he to fall in love with.
''As a good daughter, I should help him somehow. Handsome Brother doesn''t seem to be in a rtionship with that guy. Okay, Liling, this is for your father. Think of a way for them to spend quality time together!"
''This is war! Love is war! And I''m my dad''s aplice! I shall fight!'' Long Liling was ignited, thinking how happy her father was when he was around Handsome Brother.
Liling and Xiaojun entered the car. Xiaojun frowned with Liling''s sudden seriousness as if she was thinking about something serious in her head.
"Liling, are you alright?" Xiaojun asked worriedly. He was also worried that Liling might''ve had the wrong idea in her head about him and Jinxing.
"DDon''t think too much about Xing''anI mean, Jiang Jinxing. He is my business acquaintance and friend. He is just a bit weird haha."
Somehow, calling Jinxing, his ''friend'' gave Xiaojun a bit of guilt in his heart. Although it was the truth, they were not dating. Xiaojun hadn''t dated anyone, and Jinxing was still his friend and business acquaintance nheless.
Long Liling decided not to talk about that man, Jiang Jinxing and shifted the topic instead.
"Ah, Handsome Brother, my dad told you before about spending quality time together, right?"
"Ah" Xiaojun recalled what Long Shan said before. He said they would spend family time together as three somewhere, but he didn''t expect it to be true.
"Okay then, where will we go next?"
"Hm? Why do you ask me? You''re the older one here. Go call him!" Liling ordered.
Xiaojun frowned, "I don''t have his number. You can call him."
Liling then smiled thin and replied, "I will give you his number. You should be the one who calls him and ask where the date should go. You know, like a good wife, Hehe~"
Feng Xiaojun''s cheek reddened, but he brushed it off and took his phone immediately, "FFine, just give me his number."
After Liling gave her dad''s number, Xiaojun called Long Shan. In just the second beep, Long Shan picked up the call immediately.
"YYes, wifeI mean, Moon RabbitII mean Xiaojun," Long Shan stuttered, probably because it was the first time Xiaojun called him.
"DDid something happen? Do you need me to send my men? Wait, I can call them right now! I can call the police force as well! Hang on!"
The edge of Xiaojun''s lips twitched when he heard how flustered and shocked Long Shan was because Xiaojun called him out of nowhere. With a thin smile on his face, Xiaojun replied, "There''s nothing wrong. Liling just asked me to call you. You know you said before that we will meet somewhere as three for a family quality time together."
"Ah"
.
There was a long pause between Long Shan and Xiaojun as Xiaojun waited for Long Shan to speak.
"Long Shan?"
"AAh, yes, I''m sorry. You sound so good on the phone. I actually got dazed for a moment." Long Shan confessed.
"BBe serious for a second, will you!" Xiaojun yelled.
Long Shan cleared his throat and then said, "Okay, it''s near dusk. We should go somewhere for dinner. Go and tell Liling that we will eat in the Imperial Heaven Restaurant. I will prepare myself and go there immediately."
"Okay."
Click.
"Are you satisfied now?" Xiaojun asked Liling, who had a wide grin on her face.
Liling giggled and nodded, "Well, it''s just it has been a while since I ate with my dad. Because it''s so rare for him to be in a good mood whenever we are together. He always put some pressure on me because he doesn''t want me to be ''wild fighter'' like him."
"I hope with you here, he can rx, and we can have a real quality time together... Handsome dad or mom, whatever."
Long Liling winked at Xiaojun and continued giggling happily.
