Sponsored chapter (3/5)
The quilt was slightly raised.
Yu Baihan found his place on the bed with ease and anticipation, his heart beating nervously.
In the dimness, something was rekindling rapidly.
The quilt felt a bit stifling, and Yu Baihan, his eyelashes fluttering, seemed to have only one functioning sensory organ in his entire body.
People in light sleep react instinctively.
Yu Baihan’s breathing paused momentarily, and the corners of his eyes grew moist.
Hmm… he was fine, he could do this.
He was about to persist when he sensed something. Was Lu Huan…?
Instantly rejuvenated, he swallowed and heard a muffled moan from above. Soon after, a hand restrained him, hesitating as if afraid to hurt him.
In the next moment, the quilt was lifted, and a rush of fresh air flowed in, easing Yu Baihan’s somewhat stagnant breathing.
—Lu Huan had woken up.
But Yu Baihan was beyond caring. Driven by his clouded consciousness and the brink of triumph, he didn’t release the person, but held on tighter.
It had been building up for so long; they were almost there.
Click! The bedside lamp clicked on, bathing the room in light.
The person in front of him seemed momentarily stunned before reacting.
Lu Huan cradled Yu Baihan’s face in one hand and gingerly lifted him. Yu Baihan made a soft noise but didn’t resist Lu Huan’s strength.
He was pulled up, and as he raised his head, he met Lu Huan’s intense, dark eyes.
Lu Huan was flushed all over, and his palms were warm. “What are you doing?” he asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes carrying a hint of fierceness.
Yu Baihan couldn’t form words for a moment, and his eyes looked accusatory. “I told you all about it… Baihan is boosting.”
“…” Boosting.
A hand reached out to Yu Baihan’s tongue and brushed his lips. Yu Baihan’s lips felt moist, and he wasn’t sure if it was his lip balm that had melted.
Lu Huan stared at him; his handsome face seemed aflame, and sweat even glistened on his forehead. “Nonsense,” he said hoarsely, his eyes fierce. “Do you know how dangerous it is?”
Yu Baihan glanced back, raising an eyebrow, his expression one of curiosity: Oh, really?
Lu Huan was silent for a few seconds, then let out a soft breath. Adam’s apple moved as he shifted his gaze to Yu Baihan, his eyes filled with intensity.
Yu Baihan continued to stare at him unabashedly. “You just need to cooperate well~”
Being held by him felt like being near a bonfire.
After a brief silence, Lu Huan, his tense resolve worn thin, seemed to compromise, or perhaps he was on the verge of losing his sanity. He let go of Yu Baihan and rubbed the back of his head.
In the quiet bedroom, it was as if only their heartbeats and the sound of their breathing could be heard.
Suddenly, Yu Baihan took a deep breath.
Lu Huan increased the pace!
Yu Baihan closed his eyes, and after a moment, he was lifted up.
When he opened his eyes, Lu Huan’s chest was heaving, his lips were tightly sealed, and a youthful flush adorned his lustful face.
Lu Huan used his fingertips to gently push Yu Baihan’s lips away and examined him closely. “You’re at it again.”
Yu Baihan, coming to his senses, realized that Lu Huan appeared somewhat flustered beneath his feigned composure. He cleared his throat and moved closer, lowering his voice. “It was fast.”
Lu Huan’s gaze shifted, and he said, “Not as fast as our Baihan. Our Baihan’s phone clock runs faster.”
Lu Huan pinched Yu Baihan’s cheeks, “I only took three minutes.”
Yu Baihan, “…”
He lowered his gaze shyly. “Okay, that’s a bit much.”
“Go wash up,” Lu Huan urged.
Satisfied, Yu Baihan got up and made his way to the bathroom, with Lu Huan following behind.
Inside the bathroom, he was face to face with the mirror, realizing his face was flushed and his lips were reddened, his countenance bright and alluring.

Yu Baihan shivered. Feeling a hook in his heart, he turned his head, drawing Lu Huan into a passionate kiss. Their tongues entwined, exploring, and intimate.
Breaking the kiss, Yu Baihan turned to Lu Huan, his eyes filled with anticipation. “How do you feel?”
Lu Huan’s face was flushed, his ears burning; he was uncertain why. “What?”
Yu Baihan whispered near his ear, “You’re emitting strong pheromones.” He was alluding to Lu Huan’s desire.
Lu Huan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he twisted him around. “Go rinse your mouth.”
Yu Baihan picked up the toothbrush cup. “Alright.”
To be fair, Senior Lu knew them quite well.
After they finished brushing their teeth, they returned to bed. Lu Huan held Yu Baihan in his arms, but this time, he changed their positions. His arm passed through Yu Baihan’s waist.
Yu Baihan was puzzled. “What’s this for?”
Lu Huan tightened his hold. “So Baihan won’t escape again.”
“…” A hint of amusement appeared.
Yu Baihan patted Lu Huan’s arm and told him to turn off the light. “Time to sleep.”
Lu Huan pondered. “Are you really going to sleep?”
Yu Baihan nodded sincerely, wanting to say “tired,” but instead he said, “I was worried you’d be overextending yourself.”
Lu Huan chuckled softly. “That’s considerate.” He stretched his long arms and turned off the light.
Yu Baihan felt content, nestled in Lu Huan’s arms, and soon drifted into a peaceful sleep.
—
The following morning, Yu Baihan got up and proceeded to brush his teeth. As he glanced at his reflection in the mirror, he noticed that his lips still bore a hint of redness. He moved closer to the mirror and remarked, “Lu Huan, my lips appear slightly swollen.”
Lu Huan, who was washing his face next to him, lifted his eyes at the mention of this.
Yu Baihan didn’t wait for Lu Huan to respond before he quickly added, “Luckily, you’re fast.”
There was a moment of silence in the bathroom, and Lu Huan observed him through the mirror.
Yu Baihan, feeling a bit guilty, lowered his gaze, cleared his throat, and changed the topic, “Let’s go downstairs.”
Lu Huan stole another glance at his lips, took a deep breath, and replied, “Yes.”
Once they reached the restaurant, Uncle Feng was outside to greet them, saying, “Sir and young master are up.”
Possibly due to the noticeable redness of Yu Baihan’s lips, Uncle Feng’s gaze lingered on them. Yu Baihan hadn’t responded yet when Lu Huan’s face flushed.
Lu Huan discreetly raised his hand to block Yu Baihan from Uncle Feng’s view and then entered the restaurant, saying, “Let’s eat.”
Yu Baihan looked at him with a sense of amusement. It seems that their classmate Lu is still a bit embarrassed.
The two had their breakfast. Afterward, Lu Huan glanced outside and commented, “It’s a cloudy day today.”
Understanding the implication, Yu Baihan suggested, “In that case, let’s not go to the terrace.”
They returned to their room. Yu Baihan occupied Lu Huan’s desk while Lu Huan turned on the computer and sat beside him.
As Yu Baihan was reading a book, he had a vague feeling that Lu Huan’s eyes were occasionally directed towards him, as if he were being watched. When he turned to look, Lu Huan had already shifted his gaze to the computer screen, pretending as though nothing had happened.
Yu Baihan didn’t expose him and thought that Classmate Lu was sneakily watching again.
After a while, he put down his book and reached for a glass of water. As he did so, he noticed that Lu Huan was intently looking at his phone with a concentrated expression, and even the tips of his ears appeared to be tinged with red.
Curious, Yu Baihan inquired, “What are you looking at?”
Lu Huan’s fingers trembled, and he quickly turned off the phone’s screen and looked up. “It’s nothing.”
Yu Baihan raised an eyebrow and questioned, “Is it something inappropriate?”
Lu Huan didn’t respond.
Yu Baihan contemplated Lu Huan’s expression for a moment, then sat back and softly said, “Forgive me for being blunt, but it’s clear that last night…”
“Si Baihan.”
Lu Huan interrupted him with a gentle reprimand.
Lu Huan gazed at him for a while and then handed over his phone in a somewhat resigned manner. Yu Baihan accepted it and checked, finding several browsing records on the webpage:
1. “What type of ointment should I use for swollen lips?”
2. “Is kissing dangerous?”
3. “Precautions for lip care.”
4. “This webpage has been reported by many users.”
Yu Baihan quirked an eyebrow.
Lu Huan was standing next to him, and he reached out to pinch Yu Baihan’s chin, tilting his head up to expose his reddened lips.
Yu Baihan met Lu Huan’s gaze as he looked up. In a low voice, Lu Huan inquired, “Does it hurt?”
Yu Baihan couldn’t resist playfully and blurted, “Bo-!” right then and there, causing Lu Huan to look both amused and affectionate. “See, it’s fine now. I can make sounds even with my mouth covered.”
He was making light of it, but there was a sense of tenderness in his tone. Lu Huan retrieved his phone, saying, “Yes.”
Yu Baihan leaned in closer to him and remarked, “So you were thinking about this? You underestimate me.”
For some reason, Lu Huan hesitated before gazing deeply at Yu Baihan. “Well, don’t underestimate our Baihan.”
Yu Baihan leaned back, content with the outcome, and replied, “It’s not too bad after all.”
…
After ensuring that the radish was still thriving, Lu Huan returned to his computer and resumed his work.
Glancing at Lu Huan’s computer screen, Yu Baihan inquired casually, “How’s your battle with Si Yanting going?”
Lu Huan replied, “The Si family is currently under attack, and Si Yanting is facing a tough situation.”
“Is he busy?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, he won’t have free time. What’s up?”
“I have to go out in two days.” Yu Baihan looked at Lu Huan and explained, “I’m going to the examination site for an on-site confirmation.”
Lu Huan tapped his computer with his fingers, seemingly lost in thought. “I’ll accompany you.”
Yu Baihan responded, “Just let Hua Wu go with me. If you’re worried, you can send a couple more people. After all, if anything goes wrong, can you just swoop in and save the day?”
Lu Huan was briefly silent.
In a moment of contemplation, considering their respective skills and responsibilities, he nodded and said, “Alright.”
As he spoke, he took Yu Baihan’s hand once more and toyed with the whale bracelet on his wrist using his fingertips. “You can contact me anytime.”
“Understood.” Yu Baihan nuzzled Lu Huan’s fingers away and playfully added, “But be careful not to accidentally turn on any switches. This one is more sensitive than yours.”
Lu Huan, looking somewhat embarrassed, responded, “I’ll keep that in mind.”
—
On the day of the on-site confirmation, Hua Wu drove Yu Baihan to C University. Among the two brothers accompanying him, Qin Lun was one of them.
Qin Lun’s tall figure was seated in the back of the car, and he patted his chest, then raised his chin, addressing Yu Baihan, who was standing outside the car door. “What are you waiting for? Get in, young master.”
Yu Baihan got into the car and asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Qin Lun replied, “It’s Master’s order.”
Following his statement, the car fell into a brief silence.
The brothers exchanged glances, and Hua Wu, who was in the driver’s seat, shook the steering wheel. After a moment of silence, he addressed Yu Baihan. “Just focus on finishing the exam.”
Yu Baihan, fastening his seatbelt, looked up at them. “What do you mean?”
Hua Wu corrected himself, “I mean, focus on taking the exam.”
Qin Lun turned his head and raised his eyebrows. “And what about the other half?”
Yu Baihan gestured with his finger. “One half is already completed, so don’t ask too much.”
The others remained silent.
Upon arriving at gate C, Hua Wu and Qin Lun got out of the car and escorted Yu Baihan into the on-site confirmation venue, leaving one brother to watch over the car.
Today was the on-site confirmation day, and C University had a large number of candidates.
As Yu Baihan, Hua Wu, and Qin Lun made their way in, Qin Lun couldn’t help but sigh, “I remember my college days. I miss them.”
Hua Wu agreed, “Yes, those were simpler times.”
Yu Baihan glanced at Hua Wu, thinking about his past “humorous” comments, and couldn’t help but think, ‘You seem pretty simple now.’
Continuing the conversation, he asked, “What were your majors?”
Qin Lun replied, “I majored in computer science at the Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Hua Wu majored in English at N University.”
When Yu Baihan raised his hand and applauded, he exclaimed, “That’s impressive!”
He genuinely felt that they were impressive, being top students in their respective fields. It was impressive that they chose to follow Lu Huan, a self-made entrepreneur.
Lu Huan is truly courageous.
While they were chatting, they arrived outside the on-site confirmation venue.
Since Hua Wu and Qin Lun couldn’t accompany him any further, they stood at the entrance and told Yu Baihan, “Go ahead, young master. We’ll wait for you here.”
“Got it.” Yu Baihan turned and walked in.
He took a few steps and then remembered a plot from the original story.
In the original story, the entire Lu family was used as a stepping stone. Not only was Lu Huan trampled into the mud, but so were these high-achieving and proud individuals.
Yu Baihan paused and turned to look at the two people at the entrance.
The two of them waved to him, indicating that he could proceed without worry.
He turned around and joined the group ahead, thinking to himself, “It’s different now. The Lu family won’t be the ‘established destiny.'”
With a plan that had taken shape in his mind, Yu Baihan narrowed his eyes and thought:
‘Crazy outlaws, give me your attention! Retreat! Retreat!’
…
He quickly completed the on-site confirmation.
Qin Lun and Hua Wu safely escorted him back.
There were no unexpected encounters or sinister figures along the way, and Yu Baihan returned to the Lu residence without any issues.
As he entered the house, Lu Huan walked over from the other side of the living room, examined him from head to toe, and finally relaxed a bit. “You’re fine.”
Yu Baihan rushed forward, wrapping his arms around Lu Huan’s waist and tilting his head, “I’m alright, don’t worry so much.”
Lu Huan pinched his neck and picked up the slightly crooked yellow radish, saying, “Go upstairs and change.”
Yu Baihan headed back to their bedroom and exchanged his clothes for comfortable pajamas.
He took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and decided to switch back to his old account to check his messages. There, he noticed the little red notification dot blinking.
[Master PUA]: Are you taking the postgraduate entrance examination?
The tone of the message was incredulous, clearly questioning him again.
Yu Baihan replied to the message.
[Yu Baihan]: On Lu Huan’s behalf.
[Master PUA]: Really? Is he trying to get rid of you?
[Master PUA]: What has he been up to lately?
While he was typing a response, Lu Huan, with a serious expression, asked him that Si Yanting was trying to contact him again.
Yu Baihan casually responded with a “I don’t know” and then turned off his phone, dismissing the matter. “It seems he’s getting desperate.”
After all, why else would he refer to him as a “little waste”?
Lu Huan’s dark eyes took on a slight edge.
For a moment, he pinched Yu Baihan’s earlobe. “Let him be.”
That’s what he said, but there was an icy edge in his gaze, revealing a hint of frostiness.
Yu Baihan paid no mind to Si Yanting and shifted his attention to more enticing matters. He reached for Lu Huan’s waist and playfully pushed him onto the bed.
Lu Huan, taken off guard by the sudden push, glanced at Yu Baihan with curiosity.
Yu Baihan gazed up at him, his eyes filled with anticipation, and he hinted with a slight blush, “Today is our special day, once a week~”
Lu Huan’s eyes widened, and the frost that had momentarily clouded his expression melted away.
He was pushed onto the bed by Yu Baihan with a resounding “thud,” and his breath caught as he restrained the hands that were wandering about, his face flushing. “I haven’t taken a shower yet.”
Yu Baihan, undeterred, had already lowered his head. His tousled hair brushed against Lu Huan’s abdomen as he mumbled, “I haven’t either… But we’re going to sweat anyway…”
Lu Huan let out an amused snort.
Raising his head, he studied Yu Baihan’s face with an air of resignation. “Alright.”
