Everyone, including the two of them, had never imagined that kiss.
——At the concert venue, in front of all the spotlights and cameras, they kissed so carelessly in front of tens of thousands of people.
Since it was the last act of the concert, it wasn’t long before the live broadcast signal was cut off, and the audience was gradually escorted out after the staff arranged for thank-you bows.
At that moment, every major forum was exploding with hundreds of posts per second, as if every groundhog breeding base and screaming chicken wholesale spot in the country had blown up!
[That was so brave, only Boss Pei would kiss him right after being confessed to from below the stage!]
[Kiss him more times, ahh, why stop the broadcast, I still want to watch TAT!!! Let me watch the brothers kiss!!]
[Did the two of them just blatantly declare ownership right there, right? Truly my shipped CP, indeed 24K genuine (nosebleed)]
[Night Fire as sharp as a blade!! Night Fire as sharp as a blade!! Damn, the last song was a direct confession, I’ve never seen anything like it!!!]
[The protagonist just admitted it, not only admitted it but also wrote a song named after their CP, us Night Fire fans are totally fed tonight, ascended to heaven and died without regrets!!]
Initially, at the start of the concert, because of the warrant issue, many reporters had already stationed themselves, even bribing the staff to squeeze in for the first chance to interview.
Who would have thought that first Mei Shengyao would return to the stage, then Long Jia’s official comeback and his announcement of going into acting, followed by Pei Ruye also coming onstage and kissing Huo Ren.
A bunch of reporters couldn’t see the performance at the front, and now receiving the tip-off, their minds were blown.
Holy moly… these last three days… has the workload matched that of an entire year???!!!
Many entertainment news bosses were already happily giving out bonuses.
Today is a good day!! Over a hundred million clicks is not a dream!! Congratulations, congratulations!!!
After Huo Ren finished removing his makeup and changing clothes, he still had to oversee the wrap-up for the huge team, while Pei Ruye was relatively free, personally asking the reporters to leave.
As he arrived at the scene, people immediately crowded both sides of the door.
“Boss Pei! Was this public declaration pre-planned by you?!!”
“President Pei!! Didn’t you reject him before, why did you respond proactively this time??”
“January 2020 will become the first city in the country to open same-sex marriage registration, have you two considered it??”
“What does Mr. Huo have to say about this? Do you agree with this way of going public??”
Without waiting for the man to speak, flashbulbs popped wildly, and even the bodyguards spreading their arms could barely hold back the crowd.
Pei Ruye also hadn’t recovered yet, standing in front of the cameras for several seconds without speaking.
He hadn’t expected Huo Ren to love him to this extent.
He even felt that since returning from America, it seemed like every few days he would experience this kind of budding romance atmosphere, his inner calmness having long been pried open.
Pei Ruye took a step forward, and immediately, the reporters didn’t dare to breathe, afraid to interrupt or miss his statement.
However, the man paused for a few seconds before speaking, a smile curling up at the corner of his lips.
Some media were live streaming the interview, broadcasting everything to the public.
A large crowd of spectators rushed in just in time to see this smile.
[He’s exposed, he’s exposed—he’s exposed—!!!]
[After so many years, Boss Pei is finally acknowledged, hahaha, no need to explain anything now, the smile says it all!]
[Huo Huo, where is he!! Could it be that he was just pressed down backstage and kissed!! Damn, I want to kiss too!!]
“The situation is just like this,” Pei Ruye said slowly. “I was surprised. I didn’t expect that on Huo Huo’s birthday, I would be the one receiving a gift.”
[He’s already calling him Huo Huo so soon!! My god, show a bit of restraint, a bit of restraint, ahhh—]
[Maybe they’ve always called each other that privately! After all, who can withstand being called ‘teacher’ by a little white wolf every day!!!]
A reporter almost shouted to snatch the interview opportunity: “Have you two been hiding your relationship before?? Now that it’s public, can you explain the previous failed confession??”
“About that,” Pei Ruye was in a good mood at this moment, casually picking out the camera that asked the question from a long row.
“Engagement before dating, is that strange?”
The crowd was shocked: What’s going on with you two!!!
Boss Pei, how many tricks do you have up your sleeve!! Tell us more, tell us more!!
First, there was the need to pacify the media, then to reward the team, and by the time the concert celebration ended, it was already three in the morning.
Huo Ren, having been kissed on the spot, was filled with uncontrolled fantasies bubbling up in his mind.
However, after stepping down and removing his makeup, there were numerous tasks to handle; any romantic thoughts had to wait until after work was wrapped up.
By the time they returned to the hotel and he soaked in a bath to ease the fatigue, it was nearly dawn.
Huo Ren buried his head in a handful of bay laurel petals, bubbling for quite a while.
He had wanted to do something… but after a whole night of singing and dancing, he was so tired now… his arms and legs ached…
The teacher had actually… kissed him in public.
Waking up later, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to the media, Uncle Jiang probably saw it too, hiss…
The bathroom door was slowly pushed open, and a deep, lazy voice resonated.
“What, afraid to see me now?”
Huo Ren suddenly lifted his head, listening to the sound of water and looking sideways, reflexively sitting properly in the bathtub, even scooping up a handful of bubbles.
“Uh—I—”
“Let’s soak together.” The man approached him, leaning by the bathtub with a light smile: “It’s a double bathtub after all.”
Huo Ren immediately got a bit flustered, to the extent that he covered his face again, swallowing and shifting to the side.
Pei Ruye couldn’t help but chuckle.
Huo Huo was always like this.
Acting impulsively when doing things, but easily embarrassed when reflecting on them.
It could be considered another kind of innocence, perhaps.
The two leaned together in the fragrant, misty bathtub, slowly relaxing their nerves and muscles.
“That song…” Huo Ren hesitated for a while before asking quietly, “Did you like it.”
Pei Ruye half-closed his eyes, not speaking.
Huo Ren quickly concocted an excuse to slide down: “It was a bit impulsive, if it’s not suitable…”
“Using our names to write a love song, and singing it to everyone on your birthday.” The man spoke softly: “Huo Huo, if it weren’t for your schedule being fully booked this week, I’d have taken you to a church abroad right away.”
“No matter what, we should pick a good day to get married.”
Little White Wolf’s face flushed, and he slid back into the water to blow bubbles.
Then, he vaguely agreed.
“It’s not impossible.”
Pei Ruye slowly said, “Look at me.”
Huo Ren turned his head: “I won’t look.”
“Confessed publicly, and now you’re shy?”
“What’s there to see in a bath.”
The man chuckled: “Back then you praised my physique, tired of it now?”
Huo Ren, hit where it hurt, took a deep breath and sneakily glanced, shamelessly admitting again: “Teacher… has always been very sexy.”
Pei Ruye laughed and leaned down to kiss him, their wet noses brushing against each other.
I don’t even know how best to love you.
On the other side, Long Jia was driving back, with Bo Jue sitting in the passenger seat, leaning on a pillow and looking towards the brightly lit distance.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
To be precise, ever since Bo Jue recovered from pneumonia and switched careers to become a professor at the Shidu Music Academy, their life paths diverged, as if they had become people from parallel worlds.
Initially, their identities as idols had bound them together, inseparable in their daily lives.
Now, even though they had unbound themselves, it still felt like they were connected at every moment.
Even if they were not very familiar with each other at this moment, they were still lovers who once shared the most passionate memories.
While driving, Long Jia was troubled by not having come back earlier.
He rubbed his hair and cheerfully said, “I did quite well in Eshan, didn’t I?”
Although he hadn’t been in business as long as Boss Pei, he had managed to keep up with the pace in just a few years, making his family wonder why he had bothered studying drama instead of taking over the family business.
In this sudden attack, Long Jia and Pei Ruye each played their roles, one in the open and the other in the dark. Despite the dangers along the way, fortunately, everything ended smoothly.
They even made a profit, not losing any initial investment.
He noticed Bo Jue was silent, turned the steering wheel, and glanced nervously left and right before saying, “About the wedding ring… I saw you showed it off, so…”
Bo Jue indifferently said, “You look very handsome tonight.”
“!”
“You play the piano well, and you looked handsome in the outfit for the photos.”
Long Jia had never been praised like this before; he almost hit the brakes hard, unable to distinguish his own legs.
“Really?”
“Yes.” Bo Jue turned sideways, pulled out his phone, and showed him the new screen saver.
A young man leaning against a deep blue piano, his smile brimming with youthful charm.
Long Jia, usually so bold, now blushed, hurriedly averted his gaze, and coughed loudly.
Stay calm, don’t boast in front of him, wait until you get home to jump around.
“You rarely compliment me.” The young man pretended to keep watching the traffic lights, his little schemes hardly hidden: “Do it more often, it makes me so happy.”
“We’re getting married, after all. A few compliments are only right,” Bo Jue glanced at him, speaking slowly: “After all, my judgment in people isn’t bad.”
Long Jia was unexpectedly struck again, thinking I must keep it together with my fiancé here, trying hard to remember which foot to use for the clutch and which for the accelerator.
“By the way, you don’t need to take me back.” Bo Jue suddenly mentioned, casually saying, “Xiao Huan went to stay at the hotel with DIVINE, and there’s no one to help me comb my hair tonight—do you still have pajamas at your place?”
Long Jia struggled to control the extent of his nod.
Stay composed, right, even more composed, pretend to be very calm, that’s it.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time,” he spoke again, unable to resist chatting more with his lover: “I still keep your fragrance and towels, and there are many new ones at home, you can use any set you like.”
Bo Jue, holding back a smile, touched his face.
“I’ll fix your eyebrows later, you still need to work on your aesthetic sense.”
The young man rubbed his palms together, joy blossoming in his heart.
Really engaged now, so happy.
Hooray! The missing chapter is here🤍
