The bullet screen in the live broadcast, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, immediately exploded.
[What the fuck, what the fuck, was Teacher Ruan having a nightmare?!]
[Me, who was just about to shut off the broadcast: sat up on my deathbed with shock, eyes wide open.jpg]
[I have no idea what he dreamt about, but I feel that Teacher Ruan was scared. I’m distressed for my wife.]
[Wait a minute, how come he’s suddenly your wife?]
[My brother! Where’s Ren Qinming? Ren Qinming, hurry up and come over from the balcony! Stop sneakily hiding to smoke! Your wife had a nightmare, loudspeaker.jpg x3]
[SOS, could it be that I’m the only one who thinks you’re all exaggerating? It’s 3 am right now, how good is your liver, do you not need to sleep, question mark.jpg]
[I was originally prepared to sleep, but Ren Qinming started a live stream at 1am at the bottom of the mountain, and I was directly shocked awake by the road up the mountain.]
Usually, it only took half an hour to drive from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point.
But tonight, there was a heavy fog, causing traffic congestion on the highway and making the road up the mountain treacherous.
The driver kept looking at the weather conditions and repeatedly confirmed with Ren Qinming and Xiao Lu whether they needed to go up the mountain immediately.
“It’s already past 1 o’clock now, and with the foggy night road, even if we have to go up, we can only drive very, very slowly. The audience is already asleep, so it might be better to wait until tomorrow morning to see if the fog clears. We can head back early then.”
The driver, who was specifically hired by the production team from the local area, knew that they were celebrity guests filming a variety show. Seeing Ren Qinming’s eagerness to return, he thought they were in a rush to get back for the audience.
Little did he know that Ren Qinming’s mind was only focused on Ruan Song. “As long as I can get back tonight, it doesn’t matter how slow the car drives.”
In the past, he couldn’t keep his promises, whether it was due to fate or his limitations. But since he has once again promised Ruan Song, as long as there was a glimmer of hope to fulfill it, he would persevere.
Xiao Lu, seeing the determined look on his face, quickly took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to the driver, who was still trying to persuade them, saying, “Brother, if you don’t drive us, we’ll have to walk up there tonight, even if it meant using our own feet. As long as you can ensure our safety on the road, we don’t mind what time we arrive. We appreciate your hard work, brother, and thanks for staying up late with us.”
The driver originally wanted to say something, but when he looked down and saw the cigarette pack that Xiao Lu handed him, he immediately couldn’t find the words to speak. It was a price he couldn’t refuse. He changed his tone and said, “Alright, let me be clear first. This mountain road is dark and steep. It’s possible that it could take an hour and a half to drive for half an hour.”
Xiao Lu quickly and considerately took out loose cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and lit one for the driver. He said, “Two hours is fine, really appreciate it, thank you!”
The temperature dropped significantly in the mountain area at night, and the three of them could hardly stand under the car in their thin clothes.
The production team, on the one hand, wanted to capture footage of Ren Qinming entering the gate, and on the other hand, they wanted to make sure of the time for Xiao Lu’s return.
When they found out that Ren Qinming was planning to go up the mountain overnight, without hesitation, they immediately asked him to start a live broadcast.
Filming people was secondary; the main goal was to let the barrage viewers see how rugged and challenging the mountain road here was.
With this, the barrage in the live chat, which was about to close, suddenly woke up from the drowsiness.
They saw the fog outside the window filled the air, and the view outside the front windshield was just an expanse of white.
The range of view was pitifully narrow, even when the high beam was turned on to its maximum, its usefulness was quite limited.
The small road continued to wind upwards. A rocky cliffside greeted them to the right, while there wasn’t even a guardrail to protect them on their left side. If they were even just a little bit careless, then they would fall into a bottomless abyss.
The hearts of the bullet screen viewers were all in their mouths, worrying for Ren Qinming.
[Although you can tell that this driver is experienced, it’s still a bit terrifying……]
[I don’t even dare to watch. If another car is coming the other way, you wouldn’t even be able to see it, covers head.jpg]
[I’m dead, I really can’t see anything, I’m really scared that there’ll be an accident……]
[Ahhhhhhh, the person above, hurry up and knock on a block of wood. There won’t be any accidents, our ge will arrive up there safely QAQ]
[I don’t understand, why does he insist on going up at night? Anyway, he’s already ‘finished work’ after midnight, isn’t it fine as long as he rushes back before 9 am tomorrow? The road is originally already unclear at night, when the time comes and an accident happens, then he also deserves it?
[……Is it because Ren Qinming promised Teacher Ruan before he left? Although I also feel that there’s no need to be so inflexible, isn’t it also a bit excessive to say he deserves it? Question mark.jpg]
[That may be the case, I feel that Teacher Ruan wasn’t in good condition today.]
[That’s right, that’s right! I thought I was the only one who thought that! I just felt that he doesn’t want everyone to pay too much attention to his personal information.
[After all, he originally wasn’t a celebrity, it’s normal.]
[Also Ren Qinming received a last-minute schedule, and he left, it was too sudden. As a lover, Teacher Ruan may not express it, but he’s also disappointed.]
[Oh my god, I also just thought of that schedule where he spent 330 of 365 days filming with the cast and crew, my fist is already ready, and my brother is a total piece of garbage, angry.jpg]
[Teacher Ruan, ditch my brother! Be with me! I can be with you every day and massage you! Flips table.jpg]
……
Ren Qinming struggled from the foot of the mountain to halfway up, and as long as he struggled, the live chat room became lively.
Xiao Lu sat in the passenger seat, holding up the phone for the live stream, completely focused on looking ahead. He didn’t dare to close the car window, even if it meant enduring the chilly mountain breeze all night, for fear that there might be a car coming down from above that they wouldn’t notice.
When Ren Qinming finally arrived safely at the destination, the “night shift” cameraman arranged by the production team was stomping his feet, waiting at the door of the cabin, carrying equipment as Ren Qinming got out of the car, and followed him into the cabin.
There were still several vacant rooms in the cabin, and Xiao Lu and the driver were left to stay overnight.
At that time, it was already close to 3 a.m.

Ren Qinming, despite being exhausted, stood in front of his and Ruan Song’s room as agreed and surprisingly felt a bit “nervous in familiar surroundings.”

The cameraman gladly agreed.
In the middle of the night, he was happy to finish work early and return to his warm bed.
In the scene, Ren Qinming gently pushed open the door, and the night poured out like flowing water.
Ruan Song didn’t know why he left half the curtains open. The entire room was bathed in a cold, bluish-gray moonlight. There was a small mound on the bed curled up on its side, with only a head exposed while the rest was tightly covered.
This was the first time the bullet screen saw Ruan Song sleeping alone
[I suddenly feel a bit distressed, how did that happen QAQ]
[He’s not even moving a little bit, I feel like he’s so obedient.]
[Actually, Teacher Ruan said he changed his pen name today, planning to start anew yet failing, at that moment, he was a bit sad 15551]
[Ren Qinming, I command you to hurry up and help me hug my wife, kitty crying.jpg]
Everyone thought that when Ren Qinming came back, he would get into bed and cuddle with his wife.
But instead, he cleared his throat and looked at the camera, saying, “The hot water is not working, so I can’t take a shower. You all should rest early. I’ll go outside and stand for a while.”
After saying that, he leaned down and tidied Ruan Song’s stray hair on his forehead, then went straight to the balcony and opened the door.
The bullet screen that was left behind in the room, [?????]
[It’s the middle of the night, what do you mean you’re going outside to stand for a bit??]
[Let me say, I’m starting not to understand again… Covers head.jpg]
[Does he mean he can’t shower so he feels he’s dirty, so he can’t get into bed?]
[I guess that brother probably wants to smoke, it seems he was photographed smoking once before while on set.]
[Sigh, he’s quite tired after going back and forth from his schedule. Ren Qinming also fell asleep in the backseat of the car while coming up the mountain]
[srds I ship it again. Because of his promise, Ren Qinming still took the risk of hurrying back up the mountain despite clearly knowing the water would be shut off after 12 and he would only be able to sleep on the sofa…]
[Right, wuwuwu. Brother has already worked very hard. Everyone should stop scolding him, he’s busy because of the nature of his work, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
[My boyfriend is a surgeon, and he’s also someone who you can’t see during the day. I’ve already gotten used to him leaving halfway through a date.]
[My partner is also like this, they’re very busy with work. Once, we took a vacation with great difficulty, and we were excited to see each other after a long time and had even taken our clothes off, but as a result, he was called and had to leave T.T]
[Sigh, every family has its problems. I hope that they’ll be fine. If such a good pair like them breaks up, then in the future, I really won’t believe in love again 155551]
It was likely the late-night emo mood.
As the barrage looked at the empty room where Ruan Song slept alone, they began to share their own stories of love and relationships.
But after a short while, they couldn’t hold on any longer and bid each other goodnight, preparing to go to sleep.
Outside on the balcony, Ren Qinming was smoking, enjoying the mountain breeze.
The two packs of cigarettes that Xiao Lu had just handed to the driver were meant for him.
Back in the day, he learned to smoke from Ruan Song.
But little did he know, Ruan Song played around with it for a while and then quit, while he, on the other hand, kept it up secretly until now.
Facing the camera every day, managing emotions, and controlling micro-expressions, the pressure would get to him, so he felt like smoking.
When they were dating before, he didn’t want Ruan Song to inhale his second-hand smoke, so he was a bit considerate.
But ever since they broke up a year ago, it was clear to the naked eye that Ren Qinming has developed a tendency to become a heavy smoker.
Wang Duan occasionally has to order Xiao Lu to keep an eye on him, controlling his smoking frequency.
When Ruan Song woke up from a dream and suddenly heard the balcony door open with a voice saying “Brother Song,” he almost thought he was still partially asleep and hearing things.
It wasn’t until he caught a whiff of the faint tobacco scent emanating from the man approaching and heard him saying, “…Did you have a nightmare?”
His field of view was a field of dull gray darkness and Ruan Song’s temples were drenched in a cold sweat. While looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, it was clear that he was a little confused. “What time is it? Is it almost morning?”
“No, it’s 3 a.m.”
Ren Qinming felt dirty and stood by the bed, being careful not to touch it.
Ruan Song was initially stunned by the response, then realized that this person finally disregarded his objections and drove from the highway to the mountains at night.
Anger surged within Ruan Song, his eyebrows furrowing high, instantly dispelling any fear from the nightmare. “Aren’t you afraid of falling from the mountain and dying in the middle of the night?”
Ren Qinming stared at him intently. “But I promised to come back at night, and as soon as you open your eyes, you’ll see me.”
Ruan Song, seeing that he was being stubborn, he suddenly became angry again. He didn’t care about being on camera anymore and didn’t hold back as he raised his voice to criticize Ren Qinming, “How old are you this year? Can’t you differentiate between what’s more important? Do I need you to accompany me for just this one night?”
“But I promised you.” Ren Qinming persisted.
“Don’t try that with me!”
Ruan Song suddenly raised his voice, shocking those on the bullet screen in the broadcast who hadn’t slept yet.
[What the f*ck, Teacher Ruan looks like he’s really angry this time……]
[If it were me, I’d also be angry. Going up the mountain in this kind of weather is dangerous.]
[Being angry just means that you care.]
[Also, Teacher Ruan just had a nightmare, and his mood was very poor already. I hope my ge will strive for improvement, hurry up and apologize and coax your wife, wuwuwu]
But Ren Qinming didn’t show any sign of backing down or bowing his head. His tone even carried a hint of seriousness. “If I don’t rush back tonight, I’ll miss out on comforting you after your nightmare, and the next morning you won’t even tell me about it.”
“Is it important that I had a nightmare, or is your life more important??” Ruan Song felt like he was about to explode. After accumulating emotions in front of the camera all afternoon, he finally erupted at this moment. “Ren Qinming, can you honestly say that you have ever considered my feelings? If something were to happen to you on the road today, are you afraid that I would forget you for the rest of my life?”
The live chat, unaware that the two had broken up, was almost driven crazy by their argument.
[Ahhhhhhhhh brother, hurry up and apologize!!! The future is long, you don’t have to insist on coming back that night.]
[I want to pass through the screen and knock my brother’s addled dog’s brain awake, your life is more important, can’t you see that Teacher Ruan is nearly scared to death!!]
[Why are you being so stubborn at this time? It’ll be over if you just apologize!]
However, Ren Qinming’s eyes sank even deeper, and he stood by the bed without denying it. “Yes, I am afraid that you will forget me. I’m terrified, so terrified that I can’t sleep well every night, more scared than when I couldn’t perform well in auditions or secure a role.”
“Well, you can continue to be scared then!” Ruan Song said, pulling the blanket and covering himself up again, clearly showing that he didn’t want to talk anymore.
In normal circumstances, Ren Qinming would have probably apologized and admitted his mistake long ago.
But tonight, he didn’t know what got into him. Even in this situation, he still insisted while looking at the person with their back turned on the bed, “I’m just scared.”
He was both aggrieved and stubborn.
The live chat, separated by the screen, was getting so frustrated that they were almost going to vomit blood.
[Looks like Jiang Qiqi is super clear-headed, the real love brain is Ren Qinming!!]
[You’re my dear brother, you guys are dating now! No matter how much you like him, why are you scared of this kind of unfounded thing as being forgotten!!]
[Help, even a six-year-old fan also wants to beat him up right now. Aunty blamed Teacher Ruan wrongly. Teacher Ruan isn’t wrong for yelling at my brother, my blood pressure has already risen!!!]
Then, as expected, everyone saw Ruan Song, after listening to the additional remarks, maintained the posture of facing away from Ren Qinming and fiercely threw the other pillow on the bed with his hand.
Ren Qinming probably knew that he was beyond redemption tonight. As he caught the pillow, his stubborn face finally dimmed, but he still refused to soften his stance.
Just as the live chat was feeling heartbroken and helplessly watching him turn around to walk towards the short and narrow sofa in the room, Ruan Song on the bed suddenly shouted, “Who allowed you to sleep on the sofa?”
[?]
[!!!!!]
Everyone thought Ren Qinming’s eyes would quickly brighten up.
But the reality was that Ren Qinming held the pillow with even more grievance. “You said this morning that I’m not allowed to sleep on the bed. And besides, I haven’t showered, I’m dirty.”
Ruan Song was getting frustrated with this person, itching to give him a piece of his mind. He sat up abruptly from the bed once again and said, “So now you listen to me when I say you can’t? Can’t you sleep hugging me through the blanket even if you’re dirty? Do I have to teach you that too? Don’t you film these cliché scenes in movies all the time?”
[?]
[???]
No one on the bullet screen was clear as to why Ruan Song’s thoughts suddenly changed.
[Weren’t they fighting? Is this fighting?? Covers head.jpg]
[I’m just like a dog sleeping on the side of the road who was sleeping peacefully and was suddenly kicked by a passing couple.]
[……What the hell was I thinking, I was worried for them just now, question mark.jpg]
Ren Qinming then obediently wrapped Ruan Song in the blanket and held him in his arms, he still wanted to scold him, saying, “You silly dog.”
In an instant, the bullet screen turned into a massive “goodnight” exchange scene.
[Fortunately, I don’t understand human language, goodbye.jpg]
[I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping, guys. I gained 10 jin from eating dog food in the middle of the night, smile.jpg]
[After a period of anger getting to my head, the clown was me.]
[‘No one survived after the evening show tonight’]
[This story tells us that we shouldn’t meddle in a couple’s fight, because you’ll never be able to tell whether they’re fighting for real or if they’re just bantering flirtatiously, covers head.jpg]
Only the two people involved knew in their hearts that their arguments were real and their reconciliations were genuine.
Because what Ren Qinming said was the absolute truth. If they were to break up, he was afraid that Ruan Song would forget about him.
Ruan Song probably knew that even if the sky were to fall tonight, this person would stubbornly come back.
Ren Qinming cautiously leaned in, getting close to Ruan Song’s ear, and said, “Brother Song, let me tell you something, don’t get angry.”
Ruan Song buried his face in the blanket and grumbled as he snuggled into his arms, “I’m already so angry because of you, how else can I be more angry?”
Ren Qinming spoke in a hushed voice, almost sounding annoyed. “When I just came back, the production team asked me to turn on the cameras in the room.”
After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
It was so quiet that the barrage almost thought Ruan Song had fallen asleep.
After a full five seconds, he lifted his flushed face from the blanket and grabbed the pillow under his head. He turned over and straddled Ren Qinming’s waist, tightly covering his face and shouting, “Can’t you tell me about this kind of thing right away in the future? Otherwise, I’ll end up scolding you and making you sleep on the couch, which will make me look stupid!!”
Ren Qinming, muffled by the pillow, stuttered, “Even if I don’t show the video, the audio is still on…”
Whenever they would argue, the live broadcast room could hear it.
Ruan Song became even more angry and embarrassed. “Shut up! I didn’t ask you when you started smoking!”
Ren Qinming couldn’t hold it in any longer. He grabbed Ruan Song’s wrists with one hand and exerted a little force on his waist, causing both of them to shift positions on the bed. It was obvious that he had just let Ruan Song have his way. He even had enough strength to free up one hand and lift his collar to sniff it, asking, “Does it smell strong? I only started smoking because of you.”
Ruan Song watched as he effortlessly handled the situation, becoming even more frustrated. “When did you learn how to smoke from me?”
Ren Qinming, seeing the fiery sparkle in Ruan Song’s eyes while he was underneath him, felt an impulse. Without making sense, he leaned down and kissed the corner of Ruan Song’s eye, saying, “I saw the photos you gave me.”
Ruan Song furrowed his brow and turned his head to the side, saying, “So what if you saw them? It’s so annoying! Are we going to sleep or not?”
“Well, shouldn’t you close the camera lens?”
“What the hell, I was just about to close it! I didn’t hear you say you remembered!”
After the two of them settled back into their sleeping positions, the room fell silent for a few seconds.
Out of the blue, Ren Qinming brought the topic back around, saying, “Actually, I’ve always been smoking. I just didn’t dare to tell you before because I was afraid of getting scolded.”
Ruan Song grumbled and buried his face back into the covers, saying, “I see that you’re quite bold, not afraid of getting scolded at all.”
Another few seconds of silence passed.
Ren Qinming gave a kiss on his exposed earlobe, saying, “Goodnight, Brother Song.”
Ruan Song ignored him.
Ren Qinming held onto him, taking advantage of the situation, and kissed him again, saying, “Goodnight, my wife.”
Ruan Song kicked him from under the covers.
Ren Qinming finally got the message.
…………..
The next morning, as expected, the argument between the two in the middle of the night became a hot topic.
Ruan Song, who rarely woke up early at 9 o’clock, went outside and found four people all holding their phones, watching the video of him “throwing a tantrum” and sharing funny comments they found, laughing uncontrollably.
[I’m also despicable, I actually finished watching the entire thing, pitiful.jpg]
[Coquettish Queen and his stubborn puppy, I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous. F*ck!]
[Fortunately, I was deaf before I clicked in.]
[Too amazing, is it really that meaningful watching this kind of fight on the bed? My mouth nearly split open.]
[The thing about love is it’s still better watching others date, crying.jpg]
[The director group is really good, they can broadcast out anything, doge]
[Because they broadcast this kind of sensationalist video with this kind of falsified story, so many young girls who don’t know anything have a longing for love, and it’s all just for increased site traffic? Where is your bottom line? Where’s the address? Where’s the contact information? Can you share it with me]
“The funniest part was someone replying in the comments: ‘When the plan fails, the dagger is revealed’, “I drew my sword, and now I’m looking around in confusion, hahaha.”
Jiang Qiqi almost laughed to death at the dining table.
Even Zheng Qing was curious and asked Ruan Song, “So what did you dream about last night that scared you like that?”
Ruan Song kicked Ren Qinming’s leg again and said, “No matter what I dreamt of, I was so angry that I forgot.”
After the “silly dog” incident last night, Ren Qinming happily received the title of “silly dog.” Amid this double joy, even when he got kicked in the face, he still had a smile on his face and suggested without any hesitation, “How about having pan-fried steak for breakfast today?”
Everyone laughed even more joyfully.
They said this was the first time since the variety show started that they’d seen Ren Qinming being so proactive and positive. It seemed like getting scolded by the leader made him genuinely happy.
Ruan Song quickly turned and walked to the living room sofa, avoiding the dining table and decided to keep a distance from this temporarily unintelligent group to prevent his intelligence from being lowered.
While everyone was still laughing and having a good time, the doorbell rang.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who was outside, and the production team hadn’t given any specific instructions.
The person closest to the door, Ruan Song, got up and went to open it.
Just as I was about to reach the front door, Jiang Zhi, who arrived late to the room, suddenly smiled and said loudly, “I woke up late and didn’t have time to tell you all. I thought he would only arrive in the afternoon, but he seemed to be in a hurry. It’s an old acquaintance of Xiao Song.”
Upon hearing the words “old acquaintance,” Ruan Song’s heart skipped a beat, and he almost reflexively blurted out Yuan Yinhai’s name.
Luckily, the person outside couldn’t wait any longer and started banging on the door, shouting, “Teacher Ruan? Are you there, Brother Song? It’s me, Sun Kaizi! Teacher Jiang informed me, so I immediately bought a standing ticket and escaped from the director’s closed training camp in the neighboring province! I haven’t had breakfast yet, I’m starving to death. Please let me in!”
Ruan Song, “……?”
