For a moment, he almost thought he heard it wrong, but Lu Xingzhe repeated: “I don’t need to be a paparazzi.”

If Xi Nian did not like it, he did not have to do it.

Lu Xingzhe’s way of being kind to a person was very simple, give the other person what he wanted, and get rid of what he did not like. Just like giving Xi Nian fame, wealth, and status in his previous life, and eliminating dissent for him—wanting to give only the good and side-lining the bad.

Xi Nian lowered his eyes upon hearing the words, but could only see the jet-black top of Lu Xingzhe’s hair. He simply squatted down and aligned himself with the other person’s line of sight, as if a little interested in this sentence: “Why?”

Lu Xingzhe sat on the edge of the bed, tilting his head to avoid his gaze: “There are not so many reasons.”

He was wearing Xi Nian’s clothes, and because they were too wide, his thin figure could barely hold them up. His collarbone was faintly visible, his fair skin was covered with blue and purple bruises, and there was also a scar on his leg, on which the scab had already fallen off.

Xi Nian covered his left knee, his palm was warm, and asked, “Is the injury healed?”

Lu Xingzhe didn’t understand why Xi Nian always liked to stare at his leg, and he also liked to kiss there intimately when they were on the bed. His ears felt hot for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at him, thinking he didn’t know that this guy had such special hobbies: “I’ve already recovered.”

Unexpectedly, Xi Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: “Then, it was all fake when you said today that your leg was in pain, and you even tricked me into carrying you downstairs?”

Lu Xingzhe had no sense of right or wrong in his heart, and also no one had taught him in the orphanage when he was a child. Upon hearing this, his narrow phoenix eyes tightened slightly, and a smile appeared with a hint of pride, saying: “So what if I lied to you and made you carry me?”

Xi Nian looked at him without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe frowned and said, “If it’s such a big deal, I’ll carry you next time.”

On the one hand, Xi Nian felt that he was childish, and on the other hand, he felt that Lu Xingzhe was unable to grasp the point. The hand covering his knee tightened slightly and said, “Don’t lie to me next time.”

Lu Xingzhe expressed his understanding. After all, no normal person liked to be deceived, he nodded, “Okay, I won’t lie to you.”

Seeing this, Xi Nian slowly let go of his legs, then got up and made the bed, went to the desk drawer, and took out something. He turned his back to Lu Xingzhe, no one couldn’t see his expression, and said, “Just stay here tonight.”

In fact, Lu Xingzhe didn’t have much strength anymore, his whole body was weak. He buried his face in the pillow, quietly looked at Xi Nian’s back, and then nodded imperceptibly: “Hmm.”

He didn’t think much about the meaning behind this sentence, if Xi Nian couldn’t say it, he wouldn’t ask.

Xi Nian had a bunch of keys in his hand, and he untied one of them unhurriedly. Under the gaze of Lu Xingzhe, he placed it on the bedside table and said: “My house’s key.”

He didn’t say anything, didn’t explain anything, and those who didn’t know anything would have thought he meant was a long-term engagement.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhe poked his head out of the quilt and looked at him inexplicably. He could even be said to be somewhat skeptical and uncertain, “For me?”

Xi Nian looked at him and said, “Is there anyone else here besides you?”

Lu Xingzhe: “… Oh.”

He didn’t react much and rolled over, pulling up the blanket, and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Xi Nian couldn’t help but feel suspicious in his heart. He knelt by the bed and looked down subtly. However, he saw Lu Xingzhe huddled up under the blanket一 with his smiling eyebrows and eyes curved, like a milk cat who stole fishy food.

Xi Nian was silent for a moment, he thought hard, and pondered with focus for a while: when Lu Xingzhe was with him in his previous life, did he ever smile like this?

The answer seemed to be no because Xi Nian didn’t do anything to make him happy.

Sensing the sudden sinking of the bed beside him, Lu Xingzhe quickly stopped his smile and regained his senses from the secret joy. However, he saw Xi Nian lying by his side at some point, with a familiar aura enveloping his body in an instant.

Lu Xingzhe’s body reflexes stiffened, and then he relaxed again. Xi Nian looked at his thin back quietly, remembering that he had ignored him after finishing last time, and then reached out to grab the person into his arms.

Damn it……

Lu Xingzhe’s heart started beating faster, thinking that they had just finished their tossing and turning, Xi Nian would never be so energetic, would he? But he heard the man whispering in his ear, “Are you still feeling uncomfortable this time?”

Lu Xingzhe paused after hearing that, then slowly shook his head.

No matter what happened this time, it was better than last time. There was no need to go home in the rain full of pain, nor did he have to strangely clean up by himself, and Xi Nian…Xi Nian was also behind him.

He could see him as soon as he turned around.

Xi Nian didn’t speak, but slowly rubbed his fingertips on Lu Xingzhe’s shoulder, stroking those ambiguous red marks one by one. Lu Xingzhe noticed his movements, and subconsciously compared, but found that Xi Nian’s body was unbelievably clean, without any traces.

From this moment on, Lu Xingzhe’s possessiveness had already begun to show signs. His eyes darkened for a moment, and for some reason, he quietly turned around under the blanket, then wrapped his arms around Xi Nian’s neck. His crimson lips, with a hint of coolness, landed on his Adam’s apple.

Sensing his movements, Xi Nian lowered his eyes: “What are you doing?”

Lu Xingzhe didn’t answer, and the tip of his tongue gently slid over, creating a damp itching sensation. His thick and slender eyelashes cast a shadow over his eyes, inexplicably ambiguous and confusing.

Xi Nian’s breath was chaotic for a moment, and he wanted to push him away. However, Lu Xingzhe wrapped himself around his neck like a snake, unable to be pushed away. He gasped while laughing and whispering, “What are you pushing for? It’s not like you’re at a loss.”

Sure enough, while everything had changed, the hooligan was still the same hooligan.

Just as Xi Nian wanted to say that this was not something that he could not afford to lose, Lu Xingzhe’s kiss had already fallen heavily on his neck, unfamiliar and passionate. At some point, their position was reversed, and Lu Xingzhe had already sat face to face on him at some point.

Xi Nian’s chest fluctuated, and he could only suppress his disordered breathing. He reached out to grab Lu Xingzhe’s flexible waist to prevent him from falling, and asked, with an unclear meaning, “Aren’t you ashamed?”

Lu Xingzhe held his face in his hands, his fingertips were strong enough to strangle people and rubbed his wet lips back and forth against Xi Nian’s ears, his breath was hot and lingering: “You have done all the fucking things, and now you dare come to discuss this issue with me. Besides, you were not ashamed, why should I be ashamed.”

Xi Nian lazily covered his eyelids with the back of his hand and had no choice but to let Lu Xingzhe plant strawberries on his body: “I didn’t realize you were such a rascal before.”

His eyes were dim, and before he finished speaking, and before he could finish speaking, he felt that Lu Xingzhe’s gesture of kissing him suddenly stopped. Then, Lu Xingzhe’s body slowly descended, and a scorching breath sprayed onto his neck, accompanied by a deep, laughing voice that rang in his ear: “Hush, Lu Xingzhe is only playing hooligans with you…”

“…”

Xi Nian didn’t want to admit it, but when he heard these words, his heart literally missed a beat, and the hand that held onto Lu Xingzhe’s waist suddenly tightened uncontrollably, causing the latter to grunt.

“Hey,” said Lu Xingzhe playfully, “Let go, you pinched it purple.”

More than just pinching Zi, Xi Nian wanted to strangle him to death, his Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and tensed for a moment. Without warning, he pressed the person back under him and asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you want to die?”

Blindly teasing could be really deadly.

Because of the action of turning over just now, the quilt directly covered them, and the view was pitch black. Xi Nian couldn’t see Lu Xingzhe’s expression clearly. He only felt that the other person gently hugged him in the darkness, with Lu Xingzhe’s dark hair pressed against his chin, showing a kind of obedience for no reason. Then he whispered and said seriously: “That, I’ll die only in your hands, isn’t it?”

Xi Nian’s heart started beating wildly in an instant, like water dripping into an oil pot, stirring up countless boiling waves. He forcefully clasped Lu Xingzhe’s palm and sucked and kissed him fiercely in the darkness, with blood already visible on his lips and teeth.

Lu Xingzhe didn’t hide or dodge, but couldn’t help but look up and gasp in the darkness, shouting Xi Nian’s name again and again, his voice gradually becoming hoarse.

“Xi Nian.”

“Xi Nian.”

Xi Nian…

Xi Nian didn’t respond. For a moment, he wanted to swallow him along with the bones in his stomach. On the other hand, Lu Xingzhe’s eyelashes were already wet and sticky due to stimulation, and his voice trembled and couldn’t be adjusted.

The sky was getting dark, and a layer of shadow had unknowingly cast over inside. The branches outside the window were slanting, the leaves were growing wildly, and it was lush and green. When the moon rose, the cicadas stopped chirping and the quiet night gradually fell.

Xi Nian rarely had such a time when his emotions were out of control. He slowly calmed down his breath, then glanced at the person in his arms, casually pulled on a piece of clothing and put it on, carrying Lu Xingzhe into the bathroom.

The sound of water rustled and gradually filled the bathtub. Lu Xingzhe was so tired that he couldn’t open his eyes, he just felt himself immersed in the warm water, still, he hugged Xi Nian’s neck and refused to let go, and continued to kiss him like a small animal.

In that posture, Xi Nian helped him clean up.

Lu Xingzhe frowned, then lazily opened his eyes, and seeing that it was Xi Nian, he asked in a hoarse voice: “Have you played hooligan enough1?”

Asking, as if he did not know who played the hooligan first.

Xi Nian wiped his body dry and then carried him out of the bathroom.

When passing by the balcony, he said in an unclear manner: “If you talk nonsense again, I will throw you out of here.”

Lu Xingzhe raised his eyebrows, wisely, he didn’t provoke him anymore and obediently lay down under the quilt, only revealing the top of his dark hair. Moreover, the residual redness at the end of his eyes did not fade, giving people a deceptive feeling of being quiet and obedient.

Xi Nian took a hasty combat bath2 and lay on the bed with a cold body. He took out his mobile phone from the bedside and looked at it, only to find that Sun Ming had sent him an itinerary for him to go participate as the special guest in the fourth season of《Decoding the Chamber of Secrets》 after the final of the Star Movement Association.

Xi Nian recalled for a moment and was very certain and sure that he had not signed a renewal contract. Therefore, this opportunity came inexplicably, and he couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe glanced at his phone screen: “What’s wrong?”

Xi Nian came back to his senses, didn’t hide it from him, and handed him the phone: “I plan to terminate the contract with Shanxing, but they said before that I must sign the renewal contract before appearing in variety show. I didn’t agree, but this time they suddenly changed and let me be the special guest.”

Lu Xingzhe seemed to know the inside story: “After Su Ge was suppressed, there were no more people under Shanxing who could climb up. The program team is unwilling to invite a person with too little weight3. Now that your popularity is high, it is likely that they named you, and Shanxing could not refuse.”

After he finished telling, he continued: “The ratings of “Decoding the Chamber of Secrets” have always been stable in reality shows. Participating in it is not bad for you, anyway, it won’t affect your termination of the contract.”

Xi Nian glanced at him: “Why don’t you ask me why I want to terminate the contract?”

Lu Xingzhe propped his head up and said: “Shanxing Entertainment is not a good place. Not many people have been able to make big in that place in past years. It’s a good thing that you want to terminate the contract early. Besides, I’m not that curious.”

Xi Nian felt that the latter sentence was enough to listen to, and he did not take the rest seriously. He stuffed the phone under the pillow, and then lay down: “You know quite a lot.”

Lu Xingzhe leaned towards him, breathing lightly: “I know more than that.”

He seemed to be implying something, Xi Nian paused slightly when he heard this and was about to speak when a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

The system coughed: Make a good transformation and become a new person. Stick to your heart, and refuse the temptation.
