The photographer finally figured it out. They didn’t have any conflict at all, it was just a misunderstanding on their part.
“Your Highness, please stand beside the General,” the photographer said.
As the two alphas walked together over there, the photographer couldn’t help but feel emotional. The way these two people walked together was as if they had a spotlight above their heads, shining so brightly it almost blinded him.
Is this the double effect of handsome guys being together?
It’s just amazing.
Before he could even speak, Chu Xinglin naturally wrapped his arm around Gu Huan’s waist and looked towards the camera.
“Is this okay?” Chu Xinglin asked.
The photographer stared dumbfounded at the sight of the two alphas leaning against each other. At that moment, he began to doubt the theme of today’s shoot.
From whatever angle they looked, whether in height or body shape, they matched perfectly.
It was just a simple waist embrace, not excessive, but it looked incredibly intimate. It created a unique atmosphere, a sense of harmony that no other models could convey even if they touched their faces, hugged, or kissed.
The photographer held up the camera, momentarily unsure of what pose to have them do to make it look like a display of friendship.
Damn what an amazing friendship!!
It’s not that he’s got a rotten mind seeing things, but if someone had jokingly told him in advance that these two were a couple and they were going to take couple photos, he would have believed it for sure because they looked so much like a couple.
They didn’t even need to kiss, or touch any suggestive parts, yet their atmosphere remained so ambiguous that it made one’s heart race and cheeks flush.
“That… that’s it,” the photographer thought that maybe he still didn’t fully understand the concept of friendship, or perhaps it was because the sexual tension between these two was so strong that their combination looked perfect.
“Alright.”
Chu Xinglin followed Gu Huan’s waistline, giving it a light touch. Gu Huan crossed his arms, lowering his eyelids slightly, as if he had long grown used to this, utterly unfazed.

Even the nearby stylist felt that something was off as he watched. He had considered reminding the photographer several times, but he seemed to have entered his own little world, completely oblivious to the voices around him.
The stylist could only suppress the urge to comment until the General and the Crown Prince were done shooting. Watching the two of them leave, the stylist approached the photographer and asked, “How did it go?”
“It went exceptionally well! My goodness, I’ve never seen such a perfectly matched pair of alphas before,” the photographer excitedly displayed the stack of photos in his hands.
The stylist facepalmed. “I knew you’d forget when you got too excited.”
The onlooker sees more than the player involved.
Because the two alphas across from him had such a great CP chemistry, the photographer had gradually forgotten the original purpose of the shoot and was solely focused on making their shots more ‘bromantically’ intense.
“We were shooting friendship photos this time,” the stylist reminded him.
The photographer’s smile faltered, and he belatedly slapped his forehead.
“How did I forget about that?”
He looked at what he had captured so far, feeling a bit frustrated. The first picture appeared somewhat friendly, but as the session progressed, the photos became increasingly excessive, showing no trace of friendship.
Instead, they looked very much like… a couple.
Now that the Crown Prince and the General had already left, he couldn’t possibly call them back for a reshoot. After all, they were both busy individuals, and they wouldn’t have time for a retake.
“The General and the Crown Prince really cooperated with you.”
“They did every pose you asked for.”
After waiting for a while, the other staff members who had witnessed the photoshoot process emerged from their blushing and heated states.
“It’s a good thing they didn’t get angry; otherwise, it wouldn’t just be the trouble of not having usable photos.”
True.
The photographer furrowed his brow, puzzled.
There might have been an issue with his direction, but weren’t those two people a bit too cooperative?
As he looked at the photos, with Chu Xinglin taking the initiative to get close to the General, and the General trying his best to avoid any suspicions, he began to feel like he had stumbled upon something significant.
But upon further reflection, apart from the poses he had asked them to do, they hadn’t engaged in any overly intimate actions. He realized he might be overthinking things.
Perhaps it was simply because they had such a genuinely good relationship and were both alphas, which made them more at ease with each other.
Back to the dressing room, Chu Xinglin pressed Gu Huan against the wall and kissed him wantonly. He had wanted to do this from the start.
Gu Huan’s fingers pressed against Chu Xinglin’s spine, his lips tinted a deep red from the kisses. His eyes remained cool, and he slightly pulled back, his voice panting slightly.
“Your actions just now… were too obvious.”
Chu Xinglin cradled Gu Huan’s cheeks, using his thumb to brush against the corner of his eye.
“I’m already trying to restrain myself.”
They were clearly in a genuine romantic relationship, yet they had to tread carefully and maintain a discreet distance, keeping their love hidden underground.
Sometimes, he really couldn’t hold back.
He wanted to tell everyone that he loved this person.
So his gaze always followed Gu Huan’s, completely subconsciously.
All other actions were arranged by the photographer. The photographer did a good job; after being scolded by him, he completely understood his intentions.
Gu Huan pursed his lips and didn’t dwell on this particular point any longer.
Chu Xinglin withdrew the fingers that had been caressing Gu Huan’s cheek and leaned in close to his ear.
“Do you know what just crossed my mind?”
Gu Huan lifted his face slightly, listening intently.
“We might be able to make use of this magazine.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Huan asked in return.
“I looked into the twins with the forged identities. Their recent opponents in the competitions have all been military personnel.”
“They should despise military personnel.”
“It’s not that simple. Defeating a military duo in the competition awards higher points, so many challengers prioritize going against military opponents.”
“No.”
Chu Xinglin shook his head, explaining his idea.
“If they were only in this competition for the game itself, they would encounter regular players no matter what. But those twins have only targeted military personnel, particularly those from the Jialin Military District.”
“They likely hold some sense of superiority or animosity towards the military, specifically Jialin.”
“The reason they haven’t appeared recently is that the factors luring them out are no longer enough to outweigh the potential harm of their frequent appearances. That’s why they’ve gone into hiding.”
“If an irresistible temptation emerges, and given their young age, they would likely show themselves when faced with such temptation.”
Gu Huan found Chu Xinglin’s analysis reasonable and, through this analysis, realized what Chu Xinglin was planning.
“Are you suggesting… that I participate in that competition?”
Chu Xinglin’s deep blue eyes locked onto Gu Huan.
“Of course, not just you, but me as well.”
Translator dada, why is Gu Huan’s name in this chapter all changed into “Gu Huai”?
