After finishing his meal, Yu Baihan eagerly sought out Uncle Feng to learn the title of the book.
“Uncle Feng, what are you listening to? Share it quickly!”
Uncle Feng, who had been enjoying audiobooks in this household for “twenty years,” found himself being asked for a book recommendation for the first time. Excitedly, he promptly shared it with Yu Baihan.
“‘The Wicked’! That’s the one.”
Yu Baihan: Wow…!
He embraced the title with enthusiasm.
As he turned around, he noticed Lu Huan standing at the side hall’s entrance, observing him with a subtle shift in his deep eyes.
Yu Baihan tempered his excitement slightly. “What’s wrong?”
With hands in his pockets, Lu Huan casually inquired, “Are you interested in this genre?”
Hmm? Yu Bai blinked.
In an instant, inspiration struck, and he seized the opportunity to glance at Lu Huan, attempting to steer the conversation. “Don’t you find it very interesting?”
Come on, let’s start a new storyline; we have countless possibilities!
As the words settled, Lu Huan gently pursed his lips. “Casual.”
Yu Baihan:?
Doesn’t Lu Huan like discussing these things?
Before he could regain his composure, Lu Huan extended his hand and gestured for him to follow upstairs. “Let’s go back to the room.”
Yu Baihan bowed his head, continuing to scroll through texts while walking. “Sure.”
A glance sensed a gaze from the side.
Lu Huan casually remarked, “I never knew Baihan had a master-student complex.”
Already engrossed in reading, Yu Baihan opened the article with great enthusiasm, cheerfully responding, “Now you know~”
The eyes that had been on his screen gradually shifted away.
Lu Huan glanced toward the corridor ahead. “Indeed.”
When bedtime arrived, Yu Baihan intended to indulge in the novel for a while. However, Lu Huan pulled him into his embrace and laid down.
Still holding his phone, Yu Baihan asked, “Are you going to bed so early tonight?”
“Well, I’m sleepy.” Lu Huan wrapped his arms around Yu Baihan’s waist, buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, and spoke in a deep voice.
The embrace around him felt a bit tighter than usual. Lu Huan cuddled against him like a large dog, gently brushing his warm lips against the side of Yu Baihan’s neck.
Yu Baihan’s face warmed slightly, so he reluctantly put down his phone and patted Lu Huan’s back. “I really can’t keep up with you. Turn off the lights.”
It seemed he had worn out Xiao Lu quite a bit the previous night.
Lu Huan pressed a kiss onto his shoulder, raised his hand, and turned off the light. “Go to sleep.”
Yu Baihan closed his eyes. “Good night, Disciple Lu Huan.”
“…?”
Lu Huan lowered his gaze. “Good night, Master Baihan.”
—
The following morning, Yu Baihan logged into the game once again.
Lu Huan cast a brief glance at him. This time, instead of retreating to the study for a “meeting” with his computer as usual, he settled on the sofa beside him.
After a short while of Yu Baihan’s gameplay, Lu Huan’s faint voice emanated from the other end, “Are you playing a game?”
“Yeah.” He marked his attendance and playfully warned, “If you don’t log into the game, your intimacy will suffer. Don’t leave too soon~”
The bedroom fell silent for a couple of seconds.
“Whose intimacy needs to be boosted?”
Yu Baihan looked up at Lu Huan.
He found Lu Huan leaning against the chair with a book in his lap, staring up at him.
He really knew how to ask the right questions.
Of course, it’s your little Lu Huan!
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yu Baihan responded, “I’m only boosting mine and my apprentice’s.” No need to worry.

Yu Baihan halted his hand movements and turned to examine Lu Huan’s expression. He saw him fixating on the intimacy in the chat box and the newly added “Master and Apprentice” label, not looking particularly pleased.
He:…?
Yu Baihan pondered for a moment, then was instantly taken aback. “Are… are you bothered by this?”
Isn’t this your vest, Lu Huan?!
The surprise on his face was genuine.
It seemed to transport him back to the moment when Lu Huan asserted, “I don’t mind” and “I’m not so narrow-minded.”
Lu Huan’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and his entire face gradually turned red.
His eyes were intense and deep, but his face displayed a vivid blush. His normally cold and handsome features now exude warmth and desire.
Yu Baihan’s heart quickened as he gazed at Lu Huan.
Lu Huan glanced at the screen again, then couldn’t resist bending down. He leaned against Yu Baihan, touched his earlobe, and bestowed a kiss with his lowered eyelashes. “When I was at home, you didn’t play.”
Finally, he sensed a looming threat.
Yu Baihan harbors such a profound master-student complex.
This “little apprentice” politely claimed his time every day, gradually taking away precious moments with other people.
Lu Huan tightened his hold again. He hooked Yu Baihan’s waist, deepening the kiss with possessiveness; his face flushed red.
“Hmm…” Yu Baihan leaned his head against Lu Huan’s chest, breathless from the intense, fiery kiss.
Oh… It appears that he had unintentionally neglected the deity.
He circled his arms around Lu Huan’s neck and responded fervently: Chirp, warming you up…
A sudden lightness enveloped him.
In the next moment, Yu Baihan was lifted from the chair by Lu Huan, held in front of him, and passionately engaged in a kiss.
Lu Huan supported him, swiveled around, and walked to the edge of the bed. Kneeling on the bed’s edge, he melded their lips and tongues together, pressing him down.
In his hazy thoughts, Yu Baihan sensed a difference in Lu Huan this time. Although past encounters were intense, they lacked the fervor he was experiencing today…
Driving ardently and relentlessly.
Like a consort vying for a favor, desperately seeking his attention.
He didn’t want to spare even a moment of his gaze for others.
Yu Baihan was kissed so fervently that his eyes blurred with tears. He climbed onto Lu Huan’s shoulder and looked up, his knees pressing against each other. “Lu Huan…”
Lu Huan gazed down from his side, ran his fingertips across his rosy lips, and murmured with lingering rationality, “I made an exception just the day before yesterday; can’t you resist it?”
Evidently weakened, Lu Huan…
Yu Baihan pulled him in again, licking his fingertips.
Lu Huan’s fingers on the quilt tightened suddenly. He gazed intensely at him for a moment, then bowed his head and kissed him in concession. “Just once, not to the end.”
……
The entire process was orchestrated by Lu Huan, a prolonged and sweet form of torture.
Midway through, Lu Huan reminded him, “Keep your voice down; leave the window open.”
Yu Baihan’s gaze flickered.
The bedroom window was open, and the curtains were drawn aside.
Because it was New Year’s Eve, nearly all the servants in Lu’s house had gone home, making the entire house quieter than usual.
He bit Lu Huan’s shoulder again, tears streaming down his face.
After half an hour, Lu Huan got up to tidy up, and Yu Baihan was gently moved to a clean sofa to lie down, observing Lu Huan bustling around.
As he reflected on it, he pondered Lu Huan’s unusual behavior that day.
He wasn’t happy before, so why did he suddenly feel jealous of “Little Lu Huan”…
Isn’t that your alter ego?
…
This question lingered in his mind until nightfall.
It wasn’t until Yu Baihan finished his dinner and heard that Uncle Feng’s audiobook had been swapped for “The Marriage President’s Favorite” that he sensed a subtle change.
He slipped into the side discreetly. “Uncle Feng, why did you change the book? Did you finish the master’s story yesterday?”
Uncle Feng coughed “Sir told me to switch it up.”
Yu Baihan: ???
At that moment, Lu Huan also followed and stood behind him.
Yu Bai turned his head blankly and gestured toward Uncle Feng, “Why are you still changing people’s spiritual sustenance?”
Lu Huan was solemn, “Excessive talk can have a detrimental impact.”
Yu Baihan: ABOs don’t talk much?
He squinted at Lu Huan’s expression, and his suspicion in his heart seemed to be confirmed…
It turned out the role-play didn’t involve the deity.
Afraid of him being “dominant” with the alternate account.
Yu Baihan turned his head to glance at Lu Huan, who remained tense and serious. After a while, he couldn’t resist reaching out and patting his face:
What a clumsy and sensitive little elk. If it weren’t for the “Deer Derivative,” do you think Baihan would have caught on?
Lu Huan was caught off guard by the touch:?
Yu Baihan had already withdrawn his hand, pampered him, and led him upstairs. “If you say it’s not good for the influence, then it’s not good~”
As he walked, he thought: This can’t go on.
But directly exposing them would damage their sensitive elk’s self-esteem too much. He had to think of a way—how to make them willingly shed their vests?
—
The next day, as Yu Baihan nestled on the sofa watching TV, Lu Huan sat next to him.
For the past couple of days, the crisis-aware Xiao Lu had been following him.
Currently, Yu Baihan sat with Lu Huan’s long arm resting on the back of the sofa behind him. Lu Huan resembled a male beast guarding his territory and partner, constantly asserting his presence.
Yu Baihan even felt that if Lu Huan had a tail, he’d probably be circling him.
He glanced at Lu Huan, then pondered his words and initiated a conversation.
“The Spring Festival holiday is almost over.”
Lu Huan made a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Yu Baihan asked, “Do you know of any other important days in February?”
Lu Huan turned to look at him, his face heating up. “…Valentine’s Day.”
Yu Baihan gave an approving look, but his attention wasn’t on that. “Anything else?”
Lu Huan seemed to be interrogated.
This question was undoubtedly important to him, as Yu Bai asked.
After a pause, Lu Huan furrowed his brow and thought, “The day when the results of the postgraduate entrance examination are announced?”
“………”
Enough with the academic musings.
Yu Baihan silently gazed at Lu Huan for a while. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched. He leaned over, resting his chin on Lu Huan’s shoulder. “Keep guessing; I’ll reward you if you get it right.”
Lu Huan’s ears turned red from the warm breath he exhaled. “Yes.”
As Yu Baihan got up to fetch juice from the kitchen, he glanced back and caught sight of Lu Huan taking out his phone, seemingly searching on Baidu.
The composed expression gradually shifted to bewilderment.
Holding the phone, Lu Huan lapsed into a momentary blank state:?
…
In the afternoon, Lu Huan spent a considerable amount of time in the study with his computer.
Yu Baihan observed his departure from the bedroom and promptly turned on the computer to log into the game.
Once online, he noticed that Lu Huan’s Tuanzi’s avatar was illuminated.
See, if any problems arise, Master Baihan is the one to ask.
Perhaps not expecting Yu Baihan to log in so quickly, Lu Huan hesitated briefly before sending a message: Are you here too?
Yu Baihan replied: My partner has gone to work, so I’m playing games to pass the time.
[Li Shizhen’s skin]: Yes.
Half a minute after sending the message, the other person spoke again.
[Li Shizhen’s skin]: Do you have any important plans for this month?
Yu Baihan chuckled: The question was still indirect to avoid being too obvious.
He decided to use Lu Huan’s response as it is.
[Li Shizhen’s dog]: Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, waiting for the results of the postgraduate entrance examination.
[Li Shizhen’s skin]: …
[Li Shizhen’s Skin]: There are more.
Yu Baihan guessed that Lu Huan was probably anxiously biting his lips in the study, so he considered it and typed:
Also, February is my birthday.
It’s not the birthday on his current ID card, but his own birthday as “Yu Baihan.”
No one in this world knows except himself.
The message was sent, and there was a brief silence on the other side.
Lu Huan knew the birthday on his ID card, but Yu Baihan still wanted to spend his own birthday with someone.
——Anyway, “he” was adopted by the Si family. Even if the birthday he said was different from the date on the ID card, Lu Huan would probably only think that the date on the ID card was the date set for him by the Si family.
While Yu Baihan was pondering, the previously quiet chat box finally lit up again.
[Li Shizhen’s skin]: Do you want to celebrate your birthday?
[Li Shizhen’s dog]: I think so.
[Li Shizhen’s skin]: Yes.
Lu Huan responded, gave him another flower, and went offline.
Yu Baihan just smiled, revealing two small canine teeth.
He continued to stay in the game, brushing up on master-student upgrades for his “Little Lu Huan.”
After a while, the bedroom door knob rattled.
Yu Baihan raised his eyes, only to see Lu Huan pushing the door open with a computer.
The two locked eyes, and Lu Huan’s hand on the doorknob tightened briefly. His face turned red, and without averting his gaze, he closed the door and walked over to the coffee table in front of the sofa, placing the computer down.
Yu Baihan propped his chin, peeking from behind the computer, “Why is our Senior Lu’s face so red? Did you do something naughty behind Baihan’s back?”
Lu Huan paused, “…No.”
Facing Yu Baihan sideways, even the knuckles on the back of his hands were flushed. He seemed nervous and embarrassed.
It wasn’t like taking off his vest; it was more like undressing himself.
Lu Huan held his breath, remaining silent for a while before exhaling. He raised his hand to loosen the neckline, cast a quick sidelong glance at Yu Baihan, and then, with a blushing face, hurriedly walked to the bathroom. “I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
Yu Baihan, “Oh.” OuO
Is it that embarrassing, the thin-skinned little Elk Huan?
After Lu Huan entered the bathroom, there was no movement for several minutes.
Yu Baihan lowered his head and continued brushing up on the items.
While engrossed in the game, he suddenly heard the faint sound of splashing water from the bathroom.
A few seconds later, the bathroom door swung open.
Yu Baihan looked up and saw that Lu Huan’s flushed face was dotted with cool water droplets. His chest, visible through the open neckline, was both heated and undulating. Lu Huan fixed his gaze on him, eyes deep and focused.
Lu Huan walked up to him in a few strides, blushing, and asked with a hint of annoyance, “Is your birthday coming up soon?”
