The sleep was hazy..
Although Cen Nan failed to devour Liang Muqiu completely, he savoured Liang Muqiu from head to toe like sucking a candy.
The room was dark and the thick blackout curtains were drawn. It was obvious that the sky outside was bright but the morning light could not penetrate the room, becoming an isolated island.
It was Cen Nan who woke up first and looked at Liang Muqiu in the faint light.
His nightgown had long since disappeared. The dark blue silk nightgown was crumpled and dirtied, revealing most of his back and shoulders. The jade white skin and dark red hickeys were like roses in the snow.
Cen Nan felt a little hot when he saw it.
He reached out and gently stroked Liang Muqiu’s hair.
In Chicago, he dreamed of such a morning countless times. He dreamed that Liang Muqiu had never been separated from him and every morning, he would wake up beside Liang Muqiu.
The dream was so beautiful that he could not distinguish reality from fantasy.
But when he woke up, all he had to face were the pure white walls, the pills on his nightstand and his grandmother’s latest medical schedule.
Chicago wasn’t a bad place, he just didn’t have any affection for it.
There was the law school where he studied, Lake Michigan, Pier Park and his grandmother who had raised him since childhood. And when it snowed in the winter, it was much more beautiful than the coastal Bincheng.
But there was no Liang Muqiu.
It was like a lonely city.
Cen Nan pressed Liang Muqiu’s fingertips to his lips. There was a deep painful look in his eyes. He dreamt too much. Even if Liang Muqiu was next to him, he was always afraid that he was going to wake up the next second.
The past seven years, he refused to give up, refused to accept his fate. All he wanted was this mundane morning.

He kissed Liang Muqiu’s lips again.

He had no backbone and fell for Cen Nan’s trick again.
He didn’t feel much annoyance. He did everything willingly anyways, it was useless to shirk responsibility. He just lay on the pillow, looked at Cen Nan half-asleep and cursed in a hoarse voice, “Asshole.”
It couldn’t be said to be fierce. After waking up in the morning, his voice was hoarse with a slight unspeakable tremble that made it seem like he was acting spoiled.
At the very least, Cen Nan’s body and spirit were delighted.
He smiled and leaned against the head of the bed casually. The white quilt was gathered around his waist, revealing his sturdy and naked upper body. His hair was a little messy which reduced his usual meticulousness. On the contrary, he became sexy after being satisfied.
He didn’t care, “You like me being an asshole.”
Liang Muqiu sneered, “Who likes you? Don’t flatter yourself.”
He rolled over again. On such mornings, he often didn’t want to do anything. He lay for a long time before he fumbled around for his mobile phone and took a look at the time.
10:40.
He grunted painfully, “There is an opening banquet today.”
He didn’t have social anxiety but he didn’t like socialising much and still hoped to avoid such occasions if possible.
In the past, he often avoided opening banquets, but this time he came to join the group and couldn’t escape.
He glanced at Cen Nan next to him and knew that he probably wouldn’t get involved. He pushed him and said, “I have to go to the hotel with the crew tonight, make do on your own.”
Cen Nan’s fingers combed through his short hair and he let out an “En.”
Liang Muqiu covered his face with one arm, finally feeling that he was here to work.
With Cen Nan by his side, he often had the illusion that he was on vacation.
Cen Nan had this ability to make him lose his senses.
After the opening banquet, the crew officially started the shooting.
Because the setting was an urban village, the crew rented several old buildings in the village to be used as filming and dressing room areas.
Liang Muqiu, as a scriptwriter, naturally wanted to hold down the set with Liu Fengtao. He originally wanted Cen Nan to explore Yandou by himself. After all,it was a tourist city but Cen Nan wasn’t interested at all.
He and Liu Fengtao discussed the details behind the camera while Cen Nan took out his business laptop to do his own things.
It was a harmonious scene.
Liu Fengtao was a good straight man, but after two days, he also figured out that something was wrong. The entertainment circle was full of red lights and green wine and he was surrounded by it. Although he was a decent person, what had he not seen? Not to mention, he was aware of Liang Muqiu’s orientation.
With this sticky spirit, if he still thought that Cen Nan and Liang Muqiu were close friends, then he was purely blind.
Cen Nan invited the whole crew to afternoon tea but Liang Muqiu’s portion was special. In addition to coffee and snacks, he also brought a piece of candy, treating Liang Muqiu as a child.
Liu Fengtao tutted twice with a nauseated smile on his face. He said to Liang Muqiu, “Brother Cen is very considerate. I, as a director, not only need not bleed, but can also bask in your glory. I see that your assistant is useless when Brother Cen is in front of you. Why doesn’t my family’s Xiao Yuan treat me like this?”
Xiao Yuan was his girlfriend’s nickname.
Liang Muqiu drank his Latte and glanced at him indifferently. “You’re so annoying, no wonder Xiao Yuan doesn’t bother with you.”
Liu Fengtao was unconcerned and laughed jokingly. “I seemed to have heard about Cen Nan at school, but I never saw him before so I thought he was a good brother of yours. It’s me who’s blind.”
Liang Muqiu didn’t respond. The more he spoke, the more endless his mouth became. However, there was no sign of anger on his face. He just looked down at the script, as if he was working hard.
Liu Fengtao also knew that Liang Muqiu’s face was thin so he stopped.
However, he looked up at Cen Nan and said again, “Actually, Cen Nan looks pretty good. Gege, I’ve been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I still have an eye for people.”
He raised his hand and pointed to the two leading actors who were studying the script. “Letting them act as brothers but also showing the kind of affection between two people who regard each other as their pillar in life and the most important person in the world. But the newcomers’ acting skills haven’t been polished well and their performance is not as good as one-tenth of Cen Nan’s performance when he looks at you.”
Liang Muqiu’s hand holding the paper cup tightened slightly.
The iced latte touching his lips made him sober.
He glanced at Cen Nan. He didn’t know who Cen Nan was talking to but he seemed to have a sensor installed on his body. After looking at him for two seconds, Cen Nan also turned his head and their eyes collided. He subconsciously smiled.
The filming hadn’t yet started but the studio was already noisy and chaotic.
But looking at each other like this, it seemed very quiet.
Liang Muqiu retracted his eyes.
“What’s so strange about that?” He said softly but clearly. “It’s because I deserve it.”
He was too lazy to count the years but he deserved all of Cen Nan’s affection.
Liu Fengtao was stunned before laughing and giving Liang Muqiu a thumbs up.
“Well said!”
Qiuqiu really said slay 💅
