The behind-the-scenes footage surfaced, catching Yu Baihan’s attention.
Although he doesn’t have many friends on WeChat, his Moments were flooded, with even Qiao Yun reposting the content.
[Qiao Yun]: It’s good to be young~
Yu Baihan’s cheeks flushed as he watched the video several times with delight. However, Lu Huan’s slightly embarrassed voice interrupted him, “Don’t watch.”
“Why not?” Yu Baihan reclined on the beanbag sofa, turned to face Lu Huan, who had a rosy complexion. He rewound the progress bar to the line “We got married,” turned up the volume, and pointed, “Look at how handsome you are~”
Lu Huan shut off the screen, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Setting down his phone, Yu Baihan sprawled across Lu Huan’s lap and looked up, asking, “So, did you visit Dean Chen that day to get the behind-the-scenes details?”
“Yes.”
“And what did he say?”
Lu Huan stayed silent for a while before responding casually, “He said he knew I liked these videos.”
“…” A soft groan escaped from Yu Baihan’s throat.
Touched by this revelation, he couldn’t help but pat his heart, feeling like tears were about to well up.
…
As the video went viral, Yu Baihan checked the forum. It was flooded with discussions about the video:
“Did you all see the video?”
“Of course, it was filmed in August last year. I checked it on C University’s official website. It turned out to be the segment left in the middle, filmed by Dean Chen himself.”
“My father often has tea with Dean Chen, and he praises Lu Huan a lot.”
“I always believed Mr. Lu wasn’t that kind of person.”
“So, they’ve been dating for a long time! Some claimed it was a show, but they couldn’t fake their intimacy in private. I saw it at the banquet; their eyes were genuine~”
“The ending was so exciting! [biting the handkerchief]”
“Oh, temptation is useless. Leave the love for his family.”
…
After watching, Yu Baihan shared it with Lu Huan. He playfully patted Lu Huan’s handsome face, praising, “Senior Lu, this show was a huge success~ Reward your favorite sea otter with a face pat.” Fluttering.
Lu Huan glanced at him, seemingly in a better mood, and replied, “Sure.”
Yu Baihan continued, “And what about those who threw mud at you before? Have you taken care of them?”
“They will no longer have a place in the southwestern financial circle,” Lu Huan replied calmly. His gaze lowered, eyes tinged with darkness. “I wanted to be kind and let them bloom…”
Yu Baihan clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Now let them bloom everywhere!”
As he said this, his eyes inadvertently landed on Lu Huan’s head. Meeting his gaze, the back of his head felt oddly chilly, and the gloom in Lu Huan’s eyes vanished.
“…”
He turned Yu Baihan’s face away, questioning, “What are you looking at?”
Yu Baihan retracted his gaze shyly, “Nothing.”
Now that the rumors were completely dispelled, Yu Baihan was in high spirits. While scrolling through Moments, he muttered proudly.
“See, you’re too reserved. You don’t usually show affection enough~”
Lu Huan gave an indifferent “oh.” ? What’s that about?
Yu Baihan turned to glance at Lu Huan, then helplessly patted the other person’s face, “Never mind, I love you too, you stoic piece of wood.”
Lu Huan, “…”
—
Yu Baihan had initially made a casual remark.
However, during the evening after dinner, as he casually scrolled through his phone, he suddenly noticed that Lu Huan’s profile picture in the WeChat list had been updated.
Yu Baihan sat up, intrigued, and clicked on the profile picture.
Lu Huan’s previous profile picture depicted a cold seabed. The new avatar still featured the sea, but it had been replaced by the silhouette they captured against the sunrise during their last beach trip.
In the photo, their figures were intimately close, their silhouettes blending into the golden and red orb of the sun, with the shimmering sea as the backdrop.
A wave of emotions surged through Yu Bai Han’s mind.
He jumped off the sofa and hurried upstairs to the study, calling out, “Lu Huan!”
Behind the desk, Lu Huan raised his eyes from a stack of documents just as Yu Baihan approached, and a radish fell into his arms—
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.
Lu Huan reached out to steady him, asking, “What’s the matter?”

Ktf qgfnlber jnjajg kjr abb rbwyfg.
It’s warmer now, “dancing” with Bai Han.
Lu Huan’s hand rested just behind his waist.
Yu Baihan appreciated this pose for a while before leaning closer to the screen with a hint of regret, “It’s a pity that in this photo, it’s hard to tell it’s us.”
Lu Huan asked, “Should I add a caption?”
“…” Yu Baihan abruptly turned off the phone, politely refusing, “There’s no need to be so deliberate.”
It felt like they were shooting a travel endorsement.
Lu Huan stayed silent for a few seconds, contemplating something, “Oh.”
…
The following day was the weekend.
While Yu Baihan and others moved outside to the terrace, Lu Huan stayed at home, reading a book while Yu Baihan watched a comedy.
Yu Baihan laughed enthusiastically, shaking in his chair.
Feeling a gaze from the side, he turned and saw Lu Huan looking at him.
Yu Baihan restrained his laughter slightly, “Did I disturb your reading?”
“…No.” Lu Huan returned to his book, “Continue your video.”
Worried that he might not have a good laugh, Yu Baihan thought for a moment, then closed his mouth affectionately and chuckled, “Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
After about ten minutes of watching, his gaze drifted over from the side.
Yu Baihan turned his head, “…should I go upstairs and watch?”
“No, I didn’t find you noisy.” Lu Huan held him down, paused, and said, “Do you always watch comedies?”
Yu Baihan:?
He glanced at Lu Huan’s expression and tentatively suggested, “How about switching to a cross talk?” If you prefer.
“…” Lu Huan returned to his book, “Anything is fine.”
Yu Baihan blinked:
What’s going on? This is a peculiar little deer Lu.
—
Lu Huan remained in a state of hesitation for an entire day.
The following day, Yu Baihan slept in.
When he eventually woke up, Lu Huan was no longer in the bedroom; presumably, he was downstairs reading a magazine.
After getting up and freshening up, he checked his phone, and there were two WeChat messages.
[Qi Jue]: Yo, yes~~~
[Sun Yiqing]: [laughing]
Yu Baihan: …?
What kind of cryptic messages were these two exchanging secretly?
[With ears]: What’s going on?
[Qi Jue]: What do you think~ Haven’t you seen Brother Lu’s Moments background? [Good guy]
[Qi Jue]: No, no? It’s all over the place; you can’t be the only one who didn’t see it! [This is not gossip]
…!?
Yu Baihan immediately exited the chat and entered Lu Huan’s Moments. As soon as he opened it, he noticed that his photo had replaced the background.
The photos were clear.
His soft hair framed his brows and eyes, his lips were slightly upturned, and a pair of dark eyes gazed at the camera, strikingly captivating.
Yu Baihan felt a sense of familiarity with the photo.
He swiped the background and pulled it down, suddenly recalling: This was the picture he took in the dorm with cat ears!
However, the background had been strategically cut just below the cat ears, as if intentionally concealing the complete image.
Senior Lu was indeed meticulous~ Really!
Yu Baihan’s heart skipped a few beats.
Suppressing the swirling emotions, he took a deep breath, pursed his lips, turned off his phone, and went downstairs to eat as if nothing had happened.
Downstairs, Lu Huan was sitting in the living room reading a magazine.
Upon descending, Lu Huan’s eyes flickered toward him. Yu Baihan greeted casually, “Good morning, Makahuan~”
Lu Huan moved his fingertips, “Good morning, Makabaihan.”
It’s quite steady, Makahuan.
Yu Baihan shifted his gaze away and entered the dining room.
After breakfast, noticing that Lu Huan was still quietly engrossed in the living room, he leaned over, sat on Lu Huan’s lap, and gently took the magazine from his hand.
Face to face, Yu Baihan inquired, “So, which Baihan do you like the most?”
Lu Huan was momentarily perplexed, “What?”
Yu Baihan chuckled and grasped Lu Huan’s face with his hands, asking, “Meow Meow Baihan, right? You’re quite serious, Senior Lu~”
After a brief pause, Lu Huan’s face suddenly flushed.
He averted his gaze, attempting to appear composed, “What?”
“What do you think? Why are you being so secretive~”
“Not being secretive.”
Despite saying that, he remained silent for quite some time yesterday! Observing Lu Huan’s reddening ears, Yu Baihan discerned, “Alright, you’re just being shy again~”
What a sly tactic to lure people in!
Climbing onto Lu Huan’s shoulders, he initiated a kiss.
As the kiss deepened, the temperature gradually escalated.
In a moment of passion, Yu Baihan shifted his hips and, with a blushing countenance, withdrew. He raised his eyes, “How about trying it, come with Baihan, your favorite cat?”
“……”
Lu Huan blushed but remained silent, his thoughts churning.
After holding his breath for a moment, he pulled Yu Baihan into his embrace, burying him in the hollow of his shoulder, and released a warm breath.
Yu Baihan felt Lu Huan’s heartbeat racing against his chest, and his own eagerness emerged. Lu Huan’s shoulders tensed, and he murmured, “It was only two days ago… don’t try to make an exception.”
Yu Baihan: …
It’s back to supervisor mode, isn’t it? So annoying!
He held his breath, but the restive energy within him couldn’t be contained. A playful struggle ensued, capturing the essence of punch and kick.jpg.
Lu Huan subdued him, his Adam’s apple bobbing as if restraining his words. After a pause, he spoke again, “Didn’t I mention wanting to build an archery range for you.”
The restless radish halted: Huh?
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Huan teased, “Now that the exam is over, I’ll arrange for someone to set up one for you.”
Oh ~ an archery range!
Successfully diverted, Yu Baihan’s attention was captivated. He pondered, “Alright~ Plant a few more flowering trees around, they’ll complement my temperament.”
Lu Huan inquired, “Like what?”
Yu Baihan thought, “Begonias?”
“……”
Lu Huan suggested, “How about Osmanthus fragrance?” It’s also a lovely yellow.
—
During this period, with exams behind him, Yu Baihan had no more reviews to attend to. Lu Huan dealt with several business rivals, and their lives were notably less stressful than before.
They continued to deepen their bond in the game.
As Lu Huan’s character advanced, his in-game persona grew taller, eventually reaching the highly anticipated “above all offenders” stage that Yu Baihan had been eagerly awaiting.
It seemed that Lu Huan had finally grasped the essence of Shi Zunwen.
From the initial awkwardness and passivity to now being immersed and adept, he played recklessly with Bai Han in the game.
Perhaps it was because the Lu family was relatively idle during this period.
In the game, Yu Baihan and Lu Huan encountered Qin Lun more frequently.
Qin Lun was bewildered by the sight of the two going out as a pair.
[Qiyin]: Why are you still dragging this thing along!
…Thing.
Yu Baihan glanced at Lu Huan beside him, promptly deleted this disrespectful chat record when no one was looking, and replied.
[Li Shizhen’s dog]: This is my apprentice.
[Qin Yin]: He’s not innocent!
Nonsense! Their little deer Lu is so pure~
Unable to strip Lu Huan’s vest off via the computer, Yu Baihan could only console him: It’s not what you think, don’t worry.
Don’t worry!
On the other side of the computer, Qin Lun was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Yet, at this moment, Lu Huan in the game scene circled around Yu Baihan and ignited a “love firework” quite blatantly.
Qin Lun:!
He looked at the two affectionate figures on the screen with complicated emotions.
In the past, he had ignored things, thinking that the relationship between the master and the young master had deteriorated. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared, and the master was so attentive, why was the young master still flirting with his green tea apprentice?
This isn’t right!
Qin Lun couldn’t hold back and tapped on the keyboard to send: green tea.
[Li Shizhen’s skin]: Hehe.
“……”
A surge of fury rushed into Qin Lun’s heart.
He stared at the “shameless” green tea brat on the screen, raised his bushy eyebrows, and ignited a fiery determination —
He would make amends for his mistakes, and the time to be loyal to Mr. had arrived!
Nothing could impede a professional hacker who had helped the Lu family rise to prominence.
Qin Lun seized the keyboard and began typing fervently.
Watch me follow the network cable to your lair!
…
At this point, Yu Baihan is guiding Lu Huan to the next mission point.
As they logged out of the game, Yu Baihan turned to Lu Huan and asked, “What’s your issue with Qin Lun?”
Leaning back in his chair, Lu Huan gazed at the computer screen, “He’s too idle.”
Yu Baihan pointed out, “You treat your employees harshly.”
Lu Huan pinched his fingertips, raised his hand, and pulled, “Do you know how much his salary is?”
“How much?”
“2.5 times that of medical staff.”
“…” Yu Baihan was momentarily bewildered. Since when did Zhong medical staff salaries become a unit of measurement?
However, he quickly computed Qin Lun’s salary.
Hiss…! Yu Baihan took a light breath; it was indeed quite high. He asked curiously, “With such a high salary, what does Qin Lun do every day?”
Lu Huan chuckled, “I don’t think he’s doing anything substantial.”
Yu Baihan was skeptical, “Really?”
…
Simultaneously, in the computer room of the Luzhai stadium.
Snap! The keyboard was pressed for the last time.
Qin Lun, a highly paid idler, withdrew his hand gracefully, leaned back in his chair, and stared at the computer screen with intense focus.
After two seconds.
The focus suddenly dissipated.
Qin Lun looked at the IP address identified in his mainframe and fell into a long daze: …? ? ?
Hahaha poor Qin Lun he saw something he wasn’t suppose to see
