Ruan Song grabbed a towel from the side without hesitation and threw it onto his head, saying, “If water drips onto the bed, you won’t need to come up and sleep tonight.”
Ren Qinming obediently lowered his back and his tone dropped at least eight degrees, “Got it…”
In the live broadcast, Ruan Song had a slim figure. He sat on the edge of the bed wearing oversized plaid pajamas, with one leg crossed and a slightly bowed neck, his body lines flowing smoothly and upright.
On the other hand, Ren Qinming, who was dismissed with a single hand, clumsily rubbed the towel on his head and obediently complied with the treatment.
[If I recall correctly, that towel was the one that Teacher Ruan just used, doge]
[Let me just say, that Ren Qinming’s droopy puppy ears have appeared once again, it is ‘The Queen and His Puppy’]
[It’s not a queen, isn’t this just like my mom and dad, they’re too much like an old husband and wife, doge]
The barrage happily watched the excitement.
Only Mother Ruan defended him, scolding her son through the video, “Stop bullying him all the time. I think Qinming looks good.”
“Right!”
Ren Qinming instantly lifted his face from the towel, looking like a child who finally found someone to support him, with sparkling eyes.
At first, the bullet screen still didn’t believe it.
[Before when Aunty greeted him, I still thought it was purely out of courtesy]
[My brother really can have such a good relationship with his mother-in-law?? Why do I not believe it……]
[Mother-in-law relationship, I’m laughing to death]
Everyone had their weaknesses.
Ruan Song could be tough with others, but he couldn’t do the same with his mother. He expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, “Why do you always protect him?”
“Well, who made you always bully him?” The woman in the video had a kind and gentle expression, looking at Ren Qinming as if he were her son.
Back in high school, when Ren Qiming had a sudden family emergency and no one could take care of him, it was Mother Ruan who allowed Ruan Song to bring him home.
The two children ate and lived together and stayed with each other for a long period of time.
Ren Qinming, being hypocritical, naturally knew how to behave at this moment. He didn’t hesitate to show off his handsome smile and said, “After we finish recording the show, we’ll visit you together.”
Ruan’s mother replied, “Great! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you two together. Your schedules never seem to align.”
Ruan Song, as one of the parties involved, didn’t even get a chance to speak before these two quickly made plans.

In no time, Chen Yan, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly tilted his head and appeared on camera, gesturing to him.

Chen Yan had already left the hospital room and replied, “I just wanted to have a few words with you alone, you heartless person. I can’t believe you managed to keep it a secret. Even your mom never mentioned Ren Qinming to me. It’s unbelievable.”
Outside the wooden cabin balcony, there was a sudden expanse of mountains connecting.
Ruan Song, enjoying the evening breeze, leaned against the railing and looked at the desolate night scenery in the distant woods. “I don’t think my mom’s mind was ever wrong.”
Chen Yan was confused for a moment. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, she’s always been clear-headed. Maybe she was a bit confused before, but she got better and now she’s pretending,” Ruan Song said, lowering his eyes and chuckling. “She doesn’t want me to break up with Ren Qinming.”
Chen Yan was taken aback, not knowing that Auntie could be so cunning. “So why did you two break up? You never told me. He doesn’t seem like the type to cheat or treat you badly.”
Ruan Song sighed and rubbed his temples when Chen Yan brought up the topic. “I wanted to break up, so we broke up, why do you need a reason to break up? Okay, stop interrupting me, what did you want to talk about after calling me out?”
If the other wanted to talk about this kind of nonsense, then sending a WeChat message and texting him was enough.
Finally, Chen Yan put on a serious expression. “It’s about that producer who keeps contacting you, the one adapting the serial killer case into an IP. I’ve heard some rumors recently.”
This IP was famous in the industry, not only because of its reputation and that the production lineup was star-studded, but also because this was one of the few projects that had a public recruitment of screenwriters.
Many people, like Ruan Song, had submitted their resumes. It was not surprising that Chen Yan had heard some rumors.
But Ruan Song wasn’t interested. “Is that all you wanted to say?”
“No, no, no. Don’t reject it right away. Listen to me, and you’ll change your mind,” Chen Yan said with a serious tone. “I found out who they’re planning to hire as the renowned screenwriter.”
Ruan Song lazily asked. “Who is it?”
Chen Yan replied, “Fang Wei!”
“……”
Chen Yan waited for two seconds and when he didn’t get a response, he said, “It’s your college classmate, Fang Wei, who won an award for writing ‘The Good Doctor’ Fang Wei!”
The other end of the phone remained quiet.
Chen Yan thought the signal might be a problem because it was so quiet. He was about to move his phone away and repeat himself when he heard Ruan Song calmly ask, “Is that it?”
Chen Yan didn’t understand at all. “What kind of reaction is that? Did you hear who I mentioned? Fang Wei, that…”
“I’m not deaf, you know,” Ruan Song interrupted. “Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I’m hanging up.”
Chen Yan was confused. “???”
“Don’t play that mind game with me again. If it bothers you, just say it out loud. After all these years, this child has already held back too much.” Although Chen Yan wasn’t at the same university as Ruan Song, he was well aware of the gossip.
He knew the “spicy secrets” that no one else knew.
From his point of view, Ruan Song had suffered in the past due to his youthful inexperience and overly high moral character. He had a bit of the demeanor of a serious scholar, unlike those with thick-skinned faces who didn’t want to engage in petty arguments and lose face over trivial matters.
But facts have proven that in this day and age, the more unscrupulous and shameless you were, the better you could get by.
Chen Yan was afraid that Ruan Song was still as noble as a student. He earnestly said, “Song ah, we’re already 26 this year. If we don’t lower ourselves and fight for something, we won’t even be able to touch other people’s butts.”
Ruan Song replied, “Who said I’m not fighting anymore?”
Chen Yan, “What do you mean, who…ah?”
“I said, who said I’m not fighting for something this time?” Ruan Song’s calm voice blended with the evening breeze, coldly reaching Chen Yan’s ears.
Before Chen Yan could react to what was happening, Ruan Song quickly followed up, saying, “He’s done for this time.”
And then the call ended.
Chen Yan was completely bewildered and didn’t know what to do.
He had speculated that Ruan Song would be furious and relentless, and he had also speculated that Ruan Song would remain calm and uphold his dignified demeanor.
But now Ruan Song was calm and yet spoke harshly. What was going on?
Did he evolve into a ruthless person?
As the cool breeze blew through the hospital corridor, Chen Yan instantly got goosebumps all over his body.
…………..
Ruan Song returned from the balcony, his face showing no change in expression, as if he had just had a normal phone call.
It was getting late, and Mother Ruan was also ready to sleep. She had specifically waited for him to finish the call so she could give a few reminders to both of her children.
“Xiao Song, you’re not allowed to bully Qinming, do you hear me?”
Ruan Song was speechless and amused at the same time. “Why don’t I change my last name to Ren and let him take your last name, Ruan?”
Mother Ruan didn’t even respond. “Don’t argue, if there’s something, talk it out nicely.”
Ren Qinming responded positively, “I know, Auntie. I won’t argue with Song ge.”
But Mother Ruan frowned and specifically called out her son, “Ruan Song, am I talking about someone else? Don’t always be stubborn and bully him just because he can’t argue back. And Qinming, how good he is to you. Where else can you find someone who can tolerate your temper like he does?”
In the video, with so many bullet comments in the live stream, Ruan Song was criticized mercilessly by his mother in front of the whole internet.
He was almost certain that his mom was pretending.
She didn’t remember that they had already broken up and couldn’t distinguish whether it was he or Ren Qinming who went to the hospital to visit, it was all an act.
But he still didn’t show any temper, looking at the camera and trying hard to come up with a few words, when suddenly his face felt hot.
Ren Qinming unexpectedly wrapped his arm around Ruan Song’s waist without any warning, and kissed him on the left cheek. He then earnestly promised, “Auntie, don’t worry. In the past, whenever Song ge got angry with me, it was because I made him unhappy. But from now on, it won’t happen again. We won’t fight anymore.”
Mother Ruan chuckled, pretending not to understand her son, and said, “Well, just spoil him then.”
Ren Qinming’s arm still dominantly rested on Ruan Song’s waist, and whether it was from reciting lines too often or not, he confidently spoke to the camera, “As long as Song ge wants me, I’ll do anything.”
Ruan Song would never admit that at the moment when he looked into the deep and flickering eyes of the person beside him, it felt like he had regained something he had long lost. With this single, simple promise, he was unexpectedly somewhat moved.
He could tell that Ren Qinming was waiting for him to respond with something.
But in the end, Ruan Song remained calm and swallowed the lump in his throat, saying, “Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and rest, don’t talk about trivial matters all day long.”
After saying this, he ended the video call.
The bullet comments happily continued to brush Ruan Song’s “Anti-Pretentious Master” title, completely unaware of the strangeness between the two.
Jiang Qiqi probably timed it and waited for their video to end before knocking on the door from outside, saying, “Song ge, Qinming ge, if it’s convenient now, come to my room for a bit. We should figure out what to purchase tomorrow and contact the buyer to ask about the price.”
“Coming.”
Ruan Song put away his phone and planned to push aside the arm on his waist and get up.
But Ren Qinming didn’t agree with his intention. He gently pulled him back into his embrace and whispered in his ear, “I was just hesitating whether or not to tell you my lock screen password.”
That was nonsense.
So Ruan Song reasonably concluded that this person probably noticed that he had just finished a phone call and wasn’t in a very good mood.
So he also turned his head, tapped the back of his head against the camera lens, and replied in his ear, “Besides you, who else would have the childish habit of using the birthday of the person they like as their lock screen password, from high school until now?”
The bullet comments could only see the two of them intimately embracing each other, but they couldn’t hear what they were saying. They wished they could crowdfund on the spot to buy 8 or 10 boxes of the highest quality radio equipment for the program team.
“That’s just how childish I am,” Ren Qinming pondered, feeling relieved that he could openly touch Ruan Song, and once his arm was placed on the other’s waist, he was unwilling to let go.
Ruan Song tried to resist, even using force, but Ren Qinming wouldn’t budge. He stubbornly held onto him, his arms were firm as iron. Ruan Song tried several times to get up from the bed, but Ren Qinming pulled him back.
After all the pulling and tugging, Ruan Song finally gave up. He finally said something that the bullet comments could hear, “Jiang Qiqi and everyone are waiting in their room. Are you going to let go of your arm or not?”
Ren Qinming confidently said, “No, let them figure it out themselves. I just want to hug my wife.”
Ruan Song was both amused and creeped out by his use of the word “wife.” Goosebumps covered his body, but it seemed to ease the tension in his heart. He sarcastically responded with two words, “You dog.”
That night.
Gu Yuzhou finished watching the broadcast and was prepared to sleep when a message popped up in WeChat.
It came from a chat window that he didn’t have a note set up for as of yet.
[Even if you have money, I won’t marry you, Song: I’ll take up your project, and I’ll notify you of the detailed conditions.]
Mother knows best! They’re such a cute couple.
