The warm breeze swept across the beautiful landscape of a mountainous forest captured by the camera, revealing the beautiful mountains and forests, blowing away the clouds in the sky. The afternoon sun gradually lost its shade.
Ruan Song was the last one to leave the wooden cabin. Outside, everyone was busy applying sunscreen, whether it was in bottles or cans, making sure no exposed skin was left unprotected.
The bullet screen comments were all crazily discussing the brands used by celebrities and exchanging skincare tips.
As soon as Ruan Song appeared, the first thing Ren Qinming did was hand over his hat from his head and carefully applied sunscreen on his arms, saying, “The sun suddenly feels strong, and staying out for too long can easily lead to sunburn.”
Ruan Song had never applied sunscreen to himself before; it had always been Ren Qinming’s responsibility.
When it came to being vain, this person was already ahead of him long before he became a celebrity.
Ruan Song looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and his eyes were almost unable to open. He could only comply with the other’s wishes to apply sunscreen on his arms, neck, and face. And then he even applied sunscreen on his ankles that were peeking out from his cropped pants.
The two of them, one reaching out their hand and the other instinctively applying sunscreen, had perfect coordination that showed they had been through “thousands of trials and hardships.”
[Looks like my brother usually worries about Teacher Ruan a lot, doge]
[Let me just say that Ren Qinming looks both happy and distressed while applying sunscreen. A tiny bottle from that brand is so expensive, he didn’t even apply that much on himself, bares teeth.jpg]
[He nearly emptied the entire bottle onto Teacher Ruan’s body, he’s so scared of Teacher Ruan getting sunburnt, starry eyes.jpg]
[Younger brother Wan Qingyue is so pitiful, he can only stand sourly on the sides, wipes tears.jpg]
[Actually, my younger brother is very good. He just went to the room to find them but saw Ren Qinming and Ruan Song lying on the bed. Not only did he not say anything, but he even helped take Qin Sijia away so as not to disrupt their two-person world.]
[That’s right, the younger brother is not bad, he’s easy to get along with.]
Qin Sijia didn’t know why Wan Qingyue suddenly spoke in a soft voice, but the bullet screen, with its god-eye view, knew.
Was there anything more endearing than a little unlucky person who knew how to be tactful and knew when to advance and retreat? There wasn’t.
……..
There were three paths from the halfway point of the wooden house to the mountaintop.
According to the production team, these three paths had similar difficulty levels for climbing, so they decided to randomly draw lots to determine which path to take.
The only issue was that with seven people divided into three groups, it raised the question of how to allocate the extra person, Wan Qingyue.
Wan Qingyue, perhaps feeling a bit down after spending the day together or seeing the two of them lying on the bed with a newfound understanding, suddenly decided not to actively approach Ren Qinming and said he wanted to draw lots as well.
He used a pen to mark one of the sticks at the end, “Whoever draws this stick, I’ll go with them.”
Everyone looked at each other, and Ren Qinming was the first to lift his foot and turn around, giving the chance to draw lots to Ruan Song to avoid suspicion, showing his innocence.
Once the three people who drew lots were decided, the wooden sticks were vigorously shaken in the bamboo tube.
After half a minute, the four guests bid farewell to Wan Qingyue in unison. Wan Qingyue put on his backpack and resignedly followed behind Ren Qinming and Ruan Song.
After a short, half a day, you could no longer see the excitement and happiness on the child’s face at all.
[Haaaa, he hit the mark even with a one-in-three chance, irrefutable evidence that he’s an unlucky egg.]
[This old aunty loves you. Although seeing Ren Qinming and Teacher Ruan showing their affection is very invigorating, it’s enough to just watch them through the screen. I wouldn’t be able to stand it if I had to be a high-watt light bulb following behind them so closely, kneel.jpg]
[So does that mean the younger brother is going to back out of an awkward situation and give up? I feel like the moment Teacher Ruan picked his lot, the child looked as if he lost all hope.]
[Well, I still feel that our ge is in even more despair. It was so difficult to get an opportunity to be alone with his wife, but it’s gone just like that, doge]
[Ah…… could it be that I’m the only one who thinks that Teacher Ruan looks good in his new outfit, he looks so handsome with a cap on ahhh]
Each path up the mountain had man-made steps. Ruan Song walked at the front, Wan Qingyue in the middle, and Ren Qinming graciously took up the rear.
Although Ruan Song didn’t bring specialized sportswear, he opted for comfort, wearing a pair of worn-out slim-fit washed blue jeans with a hole, and his upper body was, as usual, a simple t-shirt.
Just a t-shirt, but it was also torn. There were rips on the side waist and the shoulder of the sleeve, revealing the thin white undershirt underneath. He was wearing canvas shoes on his feet and a white denim hat from Ren Qinming on his head. He looked like a recent college graduate, you couldn’t even tell his age.
[Most of all, his body proportions are really good, wipes saliva.jpg]
[Right! Although Teacher Ruan isn’t as tall as my younger brother or our ge, having a 4-6 ratio is too mouth-watering. His legs are long, and his entire person is a paragon of beauty. Pitiful.jpg]
[Did anyone else’s first love DNA from their student years become activated? Wuwuwu, I used to like boys like this!!!]
Ren Qinming, looking at Ruan Song’s outfit from afar, also reminisced about their high school days.

Except for Ruan Song.
It was because he disliked the ugly school uniform and refused to wear it. He was caught by the grade director and didn’t fit the typical definition of a top student.
Even when Ren Qinming first saw him, he thought for sure that his grades must be poor. Otherwise, how could he dare to argue back against the teacher’s reprimands?
The grade director spotted him in the crowd and sternly said, “Ruan Song! Where is your school uniform?”
Ruan Song didn’t seem bothered at all, even though it was his first time getting caught for not wearing the school uniform. From halfway down the corridor, he calmly said, “The school uniform you picked is too ugly! Isn’t it enough if I wear it during the flag-raising ceremony? Why do I have to wear it all the time?”
The grade director immediately blew his mustache and glared, saying, “Hey, you little brat, it seems like no one can control you!”
This time, Ruan Song didn’t respond and just turned around and ran off with long strides.
At that time, he was wearing a white t-shirt, ripped jeans, and a pair of black lace-up sneakers. His slender figure blended into the crowd of students like a swallow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
That was Ren Qinming’s first impression of Ruan Song.
Later on, whenever he thought about it, he felt like he had fallen in love at first sight with Ruan Song, even before Ruan Song had looked at him directly.
When Wan Qingyue started climbing the mountain with the three of them, he immediately felt a burning sensation on his back.
[What kind of disaster is this? The pitiful younger brother is sandwiched between the two of them. Might as well just have the two of them directly be all lovey-dovey and be with each other, shakes head.jpg]
[Isn’t our ge staring too openly and brazenly, he’s itching to stare right through Wan Qingyue’s back to look at Teacher Ruan……]
[The person above, you must be new here. Also, you don’t know what you’re talking about, how could looking at your wife be open and brazen? It’s just and honorable, doge]
[It’s just a mad devil attentively staring at his wife. You guys haven’t gotten used to it yet, question mark.jpg x3]
………..
In a private, upscale club.
The project producer introduced Gu Yuzhou to the man who had been waiting in the private room for a while, saying, “Teacher Fang, this is Director Gu, the main investor of our serial homicide IP project. Originally, Mr. Gu said he couldn’t come for this dinner, but as soon as he heard that you were here, Teacher Fang, he immediately changed his mind. Hahaha, it seems like I made the right choice in choosing the screenwriter, and your name carries weight, Teacher Fang.”
Fang Wei was dressed in a suit, with well-defined features exuding the aura of a successful person. He wore leather shoes on his feet and a luxury watch on his wrist, and his hair was neatly styled with hair gel. He was nothing like the “screenwriter” that Gu Yuzhou had imagined.
Especially compared to Ruan Song, Fang Wei extended his hand with proper etiquette and said, “I’ve heard of your name for a long time. Even when Mr. Gu was still overseas, I had already heard of his reputation. ‘Blizzard Dawn’ is a film that I and all my friends enjoy. Your ability to choose this script from so many at the film festival and invest in its production shows your keen eye. You are young and talented, young and talented.”
The project producer immediately chimed in with flattery, saying, “Who would disagree? Mr. Gu chose ‘Blizzard Dawn’ when he was only 23 years old, and now he’s only 25.”
Gu Yuzhou was tired of hearing these clichéd praises every day. His ears practically had callouses from it. He quickly changed the subject and sat down, saying, “Let’s get to the point. I came here today to hear the head screenwriter’s thoughts on the opening of that script.”
After listening to Assistant Li’s report yesterday, Gu Yuzhou pondered privately for a while. He decided to have Assistant Li remove Ruan Song’s name and directly send Fang Wei his ideas about the story’s beginning.
Fang Wei was a well-known screenwriter, and the platform and producers were more or less tolerant of his strange temper. In actuality, he usually wasn’t so easy to invite.
He especially came to this banquet because of this beginning scene. When he talked about it, you could see the excitement in his eyes. It was like he was praising indirectly again. He said, “Since the incident happened, a few of my old classmates and I have been brainstorming ideas. We’ve had at least thirty to forty draft versions, but none of them had the impact that your concept had. We felt so inferior after reading it. Truly, the real talent is found among the people. I wonder if you could introduce me to the person behind this idea. I’m really curious.”
Introduce you, huh…
Gu Yuzhou’s lips curled slightly. “If I’m not mistaken, you also know the person who came up with this opening, Mr. Fang Wei.”
Fang Wei became even more interested. “Are you sure I know them? I didn’t know I knew someone so talented, hahaha.”
Gu Yuzhou leaned back in his chair. “Yes, I saw his resume. Both of you graduated from A University. You’re from the same school.”
Fang Wei continued without noticing anything strange, enthusiastically saying, “If we’re alumni, then it all makes sense. Our drama program at A University has always had hidden talents. We’re never inferior to those who come from professional institutions. So, am I his senior or junior?”
Gu Yuzhou replied, “You’re in the same grade as them.”
Fang Wei’s eyebrows suddenly twitched, and all his excitement faded away. “…What does ‘in the same grade’ mean?”
Gu Yuzhou calmly looked at him and said, “It means you were classmates, in the same year.”
………………
In the live stream room, the camera deliberately gave a close-up shot of the sun, which was blazing and created a dazzling halo. The barrage was filled with comments about how it blinded everyone’s eyes.
Ruan Song had been sweating on his back for an hour already, and his steps on the stairs were getting slower and slower. If it weren’t for the narrow path where only one person could pass at a time, Wan Qingyue behind him couldn’t help but want to reach out and support him.
“Don’t you exercise regularly?”
Wan Qingyue asked this question purely out of goodwill and genuine concern.
But as soon as you compared the two, one looking fresh and the other looking exhausted, an undeniable sense of pain instantly emerged.
Ruan Song’s voice was hoarse as he spoke, “If I rely on myself to exercise, I can only count on Ren Qinming.”
Wan Qingyue assumed and replied, “Do you need Ren Qinming to supervise and motivate you?”
“He can motivate…”
Ruan Song stopped halfway and asked him, “How old are you this year? Are you an adult?”
Wan Qingyue couldn’t help but laugh and cry. “Have you never searched my name online?”
Ruan Song leaned on his knees and stood on the stairs, shaking his head at him.
Forget about age, he still didn’t seem to know what exactly Wan Qingyue did.
“So, are you an adult?”
Wan Qingyue replied, “Of course I am! I’m already twenty-one!”
“You’re only 21.” Ruan Song looked up and down as he eyed the other’s youthful energy, then shook his head. “Then I won’t drive with you, let’s continue climbing.”
Wan Qingyue responded with confusion, “?”
Bullet screen was also, [?]
So could it be……
[What he means is that his exercise is entirely reliant on that then, hahahahaha]
[Teacher Ruan is scared Mt. Qiuming will appear, doge]
[Whispering I’m the same. My exercise capacity is entirely done with my boyfriend on the bed, heh.jpg]
[The sister above, hurry up and wear your pants, I don’t dare say more. Don’t make the program team block the live broadcast, then I’ll have nothing left to watch, lmao]
Children were most annoyed when they were treated as children.
Wan Qingyue felt that, at the age of twenty-one, he wasn’t considered young anymore. Normally, no one would bring up his age, but it seemed like Ruan Song was looking down on him a bit.
“Do you want some water?” Suddenly, his crush’s deep voice came from behind.
Wan Qingyue felt delighted and was about to turn around to respond, but Ruan Song, who was walking in front, answered first, “No, thanks.”
Ren Qinming chimed in, “Are you hungry? I brought some bread and chocolate.”
“No appetite, not eating.”
Ren Qinming asked, “I also brought a small fan, do you want to use it?”
“Too tiring to hold it up, not using it.”
Ren Qinming immediately said, “I’ll hold it for you.”
Ruan Song got annoyed on the spot. “Why are there so many things for you to do while climbing a mountain?”
Ren Qinming didn’t think much of this comment, as he was used to Ruan Song’s usual teasing on this show.
But Wan Qingyue couldn’t handle it.
It was the first time he had seen someone push away someone who cared about him, especially when it was someone he liked, Ren Qinming.
The child, listening to their conversation, suddenly got agitated. “Brother Song, do you really like Brother Qinming?”
Ruan Song was already tired from climbing the mountain, both physically and mentally.
Right now, Wan Qingyue was caught in the middle of this annoying situation. His anger was like the blazing sun in the sky.
Ruan Song knew he shouldn’t argue with a child, but he couldn’t help but ask back, “Why does it matter if I like him or not?”
Did he need to report to anyone?
Wan Qingyue was usually a good-natured person, but Ruan Song’s indifferent attitude had managed to anger him. He stood firmly on the steps, feeling hurt, and said, “If you don’t like someone, don’t use the excuse of being in a relationship to take advantage of their kindness! You don’t know how to cherish it, but there are plenty of people who do!”
Ruan Song immediately stopped in his tracks, standing firmly on the steps. He said, “Well, why don’t you ask him who gets to enjoy the kindness more?”
The live comments were stunned when they saw this.
[Wok,I just went to the bathroom. How come they suddenly started to fight, what did I miss?!]
[Just, I didn’t go to the bathroom, but I also don’t understand why they started to fight……]
[Younger brother suddenly started to ask questions, and in a flash he made me feel dazed.]
[Ah…… I feel like this younger brother also doesn’t have any ill intentions, he’s just a little too earnest. He is a little young, perhaps he doesn’t quite understand the situation between Teacher Ruan and my brother.]
[But I also wanted to say this earlier, isn’t Ruan Song a little too cold to Ren Qinming.]
[The person above, don’t take the opportunity to seize the rhythm. Teacher Ruan’s character isn’t the type of person who has ‘like’ in his mouth all day long. Things regarding one’s partner, the person involved knows best through personal experience. We also only know what is on the surface, and we can’t point fingers at Teacher Ruan behind his back about how to best treat Ren Qinming. Both he and our younger brother aren’t wrong.]
[That’s right, neither of them is wrong. It’s just that their views on dating differ, which caused the conflict, ai]
[Could it be…… Am I the only one who feels that Teacher Ruan is so different when arguing with younger brother? In fact, can’t it be explained that Teacher Ruan cares about my brother?]
[Fuck, you’re right, if it were anyone else, then Teacher Ruan definitely wouldn’t even bother with them!!!]
[??? I unexpectedly ship it?]
The live comments took a turn, but Ren Qinming was naturally able to catch up.
Before, Ruan Song showed no reaction to Wan Qingyue, but it would be false to say that he wasn’t feeling down.
But Ren Qinming suddenly grew angry, and he felt there was simply not enough time to be happy. He passed by Wan Qingyue, pushed Ruan Song to continue moving forward, then as his lips said one thing while his body said another, he said, “Why are you getting angry over this matter? Can you still walk, do you want me to carry you?”
Ruan Song kicked him on the shin without any hesitation and replied with just one word, “Scram.”
He had already begun to regret attacking Wan Qingyue just now, for no other reason than the fact that showing his anger meant “showing timidity,” which made it clear that he cared about the other.
But once the fear was exposed, he couldn’t take it back.
Ren Qinming willingly continued to stick to Ruan Song, saying, “I won’t scram, should I carry you?”
“I’m not missing any limbs! I don’t need you to carry me. Are you gonna scram or not?”
“With your crawling speed, by the time we reach the mountaintop, all the crayfish and roasted lamb will be cold. Not scraming, I’ll carry you.”
Ruan Song lifted his foot, ready to kick Ren Qinming’s leg again, but suddenly the steps in front of him became steep, and Ruan Song almost twisted his ankle and fell over the railing.
Luckily, Ren Qinming had quick reflexes. He happily scooped Ruan Song into his arms. Without waiting for Ruan Song to say anything, he bent his waist to place his arm under the hollow of Ruan Song’s knees and placed the backpack onto his back while hugging the wife he had acquired through skill in front of him.
No matter how his wife struggled and kicked, he tightly hugged the other and didn’t let go.
The indulgent smile on the bullet screen’s face couldn’t be contained.
[What do you mean a small fight is to have harmonious feelings? A big noisy quarrel is what a real husband and wife do, kisses.jpg]
[My mom asked me why I was looking at my phone with such a dumb, sweet smile. The CP I ship is too too too too amazing, 15551]
[My brother’s attractiveness is off the charts. He’s climbed for so long but not only has he not sweat, he can even princess carry his wife, just a lemon.jpg]
[This is the unmatched manner of open understanding in love. Teacher Ruan and our ge have a feeling that can’t be described between the two of them. With just one look and one sentence, they can understand everything. Covering my mouth with squinting eyes.jpg]
But amidst this, there were still quite a few people who were concerned.
[So worried, our younger brother will turn emo……]
[I’m itching to pass through the screen to straighten him out. Love between adults is just like this. Everyone says one thing with their mouths, but in actuality, you can tell they like each other in their eyes!]
[Aiya, if younger brother dates later on, he’ll be a good boyfriend, the kind who’s very earnest]
……………
He didn’t know if he had a guilty conscience or not, but Gu Yuzhou didn’t even tell Fang Wei who that person was. Fang Wei figured it out himself and said, “…Is it Ruan Song?”
Gu Yuzhou purposely didn’t act too familiar with Ruan Song and replied, “Seems like that’s the name. He didn’t sign his real name when submitting the outline and he used a pen name when communicating with us.”
“That’s him! He’s the one who doesn’t use his real name!”
One second he was expressing admiration, but the next second, Fang Wei’s emotions became uncontrollably excited when he confirmed that the person was Ruan Song. He said, “Mr. Gu, it’s not that I have a bias against this person, but I’ve known him for six years, from undergrad to graduate school, and I know his true colors. He has a criminal record, and we absolutely can’t let him participate in our project!”
Gu Yuzhou, after going around in circles, finally got to the point he wanted. He calmly asked, “What kind of criminal record are you talking about?”
Fang Wei replied firmly with just two words, “Plagiarism!”
………….
In the drama, film, and literature classroom of A University, a distinguished and refined man with graying temples stood at the front, giving a lecture under the PPT. The students in the audience all looked up attentively, their eyes filled with admiration and a thirst for knowledge.
The man explained the key points at a calm and measured pace, always wearing a gentle smile on his face.
………………..
Just as the dismissal bell rang, his phone screen lit up while he was lying on the podium. It displayed a WeChat message from Fang Wei.
[Fang Wei: Teacher, do you still have the original document of the graduation project that you guided me on that year? I can’t find it here. If it’s convenient for you, can I trouble you to send me a copy.]
Can Ruan Song ever win at life? He got money now but still can’t find work and everyone is out to get him.
Thank you for the update!
Aaaah, I starting to feel nervous! Plagiarism is really a big thing among artistic field >< Even a false accusation can bring a lot of harm… (ó﹏ò｡) Hope it will be cleared soon! And hope WQY will be alright haha, he need to watch a sailing ship (*≧艸≦) Thank You for the new chapter ( ∩ˇωˇ∩)♡
