It was impossible for Xu Jingzhe to watch the movie properly because Liang Yu kept giving him spoilers the entire time. He may have already seen this movie several times, but it still wasn’t a pleasant experience to have someone whispering into your ear. Xu Jingzhe ended up slapping a hand over his mouth towards the end of the movie just to stop him from talking. Liang Yu then proceeded to stick out his tongue and lick the palm of his hand. The two of them went back and forth for a while before somehow getting tangled up in each other’s arms. The room was pitch black. The movie was still playing. Xu Jingzhe could feel Liang Yu’s excitement. His breath was like a scorching flame. Xu Jingzhe’s waist went soft, trembling. He was afraid that his embarrassing secret would be discovered by the other.
“We should sleep together tonight.” Liang Yu probably felt that this statement could easily be misunderstood, so he added, “We haven’t slept together in a long time.”
Xu Jingzhe didn’t say anything at all. He worried that he’d say the wrong thing and it would all be recorded by the mic.
Liang Yu hugged him for a bit before reaching for the mic pack and turning it off, seemingly unable to wait any longer.
The producers next door: “…”
“I’ve turned my microphone off.” He said, “You don’t have to be nervous.”
Xu Jingzhe seemed to have learned something incredible. He asked, shocked, “We can do that?”
Liang Yu laughed. “Occasionally. It’s not like they know what we’re doing anyway.”
Xu Jingzhe: “But there’s a camera.”
Liang Yu: “I already asked. It doesn’t have any night vision capabilities, so it won’t be able to film a very clear picture.”
Xu Jingzhe was still a little doubtful, but he figured that this reality show was also a part of their “business” relationship. In their relationship announcement, they claimed to have been “dating for three years, keeping things sweet and low-key”. It was perfectly normal for couples to kiss and hug each other. In fact, it’d be stranger if they didn’t. He could already imagine how the haters might use that to prove their relationship a sham.
The lights were off in the theater. Liang Yu’s eyes shone brightly in the dark. He had Xu Jingzhe turn around and held him in his arms, the two of them face-to-face. Then, he affectionately rubbed the other’s nose.
He was clearly very physically excited, but he seemed a little afraid of offending Xu Jingzhe. He deliberately maintained a bit of a distance between the two of them, somewhat like a young boy who was in his first relationship.
“I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you yesterday,” Liang Yu said suddenly. “You’re very good. You’re very, very good to me.”
Xu Jingzhe laughed and said, “You’re also very good to me.”
Liang Yu seemed to be comforting him. “Reality shows are just like this. Don’t be too nervous. If worse comes to worst, we can just pay them to delete it. Don’t worry. I can afford it.”
Xu Jingzhe was amused by the last sentence and laughed for quite a while. He then took the initiative to wrap his arms around Liang Yu, leaning into his embrace.

One of them was embarrassed that he couldn’t control his hard-on, and the other was embarrassed that he couldn’t get hard.
Xu Jingzhe could only comfort him from a man’s point of view. “It’s okay. We’re both men here. It’s normal.”
Liang Yu was unhappy again. He shot back, “Why aren’t you reacting then?”
Although it was unintentional, this did in fact hit Xu Jingzhe in his sore spot. His face turned red and then white. In the end, he had no choice but to lie and say, “It’s not like there’s no reaction at all … ”
Liang Yu was actually rather easy to coax. He believed everything that Xu Jingzhe said fairly easily. Hearing that the other party did in fact have a reaction, he immediately perked back up. He began clinging to Xu Jingzhe and refused to let Xu Jingzhe go. He deliberately asked him, “Do you know what this program is called?”
Xu Jingzhe obviously did, but Liang Yu still chose to repeat it. “We Slept Together Today.”
Xu Jingzhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He corrected him, “It’s called Have We Slept Together Today. However, there are cameras filming, so don’t mess around.”
Liang Yu curled his lips in disdain and said, “We’ve already announced our relationship. In the eyes of others, we’ve already gone to bed a billion times or something. So what if we do a little something at night? We can just pay them off, have them shut off the cameras.”
Xu Jingzhe: “…”
Compared to the other’s fearlessness, Xu Jingzhe wasn’t quite so cheeky. He couldn’t possibly make such a request of the program crew.
Since the two of them had stayed in the theater with their mics off for far too long, the producers next door had no choice but to send them a message, cryptically asking the two of them if they’d finished watching the movie.
Xu Jingzhe turned the mic back on and did a couple of mic tests. He then subconsciously asked, “Can you hear me?”
Liang Yu: “…”
Liang Yu looked at him like he was the weird one.
Xu Jingzhe didn’t think much of it and pushed the other out of the theater. He was still thinking about how long the camera would record into the night. Liang Yu told him that some celebrities had had their snoring recorded.
Xu Jingzhe wavered a bit. “I don’t snore, do I?”
Liang Yu told him that he’d never heard him do so.
Xu Jingzhe began seriously considering whether or not he should turn off the microphones and cameras while he’s sleeping.
Once they finished the movie, there wasn’t much for them to do for the rest of the night. Liang Yu told Xu Jingzhe not to worry about the cameras and to do whatever he wanted. Xu Jingzhe mulled it over for quite a while before finally deciding to do his skincare routine.
Liang Yu insisted on sticking by his side, so he ended up leaning against the bathroom door. He watched as Xu Jingzhe applied product after product on his face.
Xu Jingzhe was halfway through his routine and asked him, “Do you want to try?”
Liang Yu turned his nose up at it. “So girly.”
Xu Jingzhe wasn’t very happy. He took on the tone of a senior and began educating him. “It’s called being responsible for the product. You can’t always be so casual about everything.”
Liang Yu glanced at him, but, surprisingly, he didn’t shoot back. He said, “Will you apply it for me then?”
Xu Jingzhe moved a stool over for Liang Yu. He also wrapped a towel around his neck. As he was applying skincare on the other’s face, he asked, “Do you want me to trim your eyebrows?”
Liang Yu declined. He said, “You can help me shave.”
Xu Jingzhe went to get a razor. It was his first time shaving another man. His hands were very steady, and his movements were careful. He even looked over his work after shaving the upper lip. He commented, somewhat enviously, “Has anyone ever told you that you have really nice lips?”
Liang Yu had his eyes closed. He calmly puckered his lips and said, “If they’re so nice, why don’t you give me a kiss?”
Xu Jingzhe had already built up somewhat of an immunity to his cute little tantrums. He ignored him and continued to shave the other’s chin.
Liang Yu still refused to unpucker his lips. He repeated, “Give me a kiss.”
Xu Jingzhe applied aftershave for him. He knew that the cameras were filming, so he finally held the other’s face and pressed his lips against his.
“Don’t push it.” Xu Jingzhe’s words were full of double meaning. “Everything’s being recorded by the camera.”
Liang Yu didn’t really care about the camera, or rather, it was because the camera was there that he dared to act more “naturally” and “unscrupulously”. This “business” relationship was a good excuse. The “glass window” between could be ignored. He wanted to turn the “act” into something “real”, so he began wholeheartedly playing the part.
It wasn’t that Xu Jingzhe couldn’t see what Liang Yu was trying to do. However, he had to restrain himself because his “brick wall” hadn’t yet collapsed.
Sleeping in the same bed that night, Xu Jingzhe’s sleeping posture was as prim and proper as always. He didn’t turn the mic off. He even told Liang Yu, “I have work tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late.”
Liang Yu hugged him from behind. He asked, a little unhappy, “What kind of work?”
Xu Jingzhe: “A magazine cover shoot.”
Zhang Man was partially responsible for the marketing of Green Water. It could be said that she had put a lot of effort in, having scheduled this photoshoot as soon as filming was wrapped up. Xu Jingzhe had already agreed to this photoshoot very early on, so he really couldn’t push it off any longer.
Liang Yu couldn’t lose his temper over something like this, but it still made him uncomfortable. He forced his leg between Xu Jingzhe’s. He clung to the other and refused to let go, his arms tightening around his waist.
Xu Jingzhe definitely wouldn’t be able to fall asleep like this. He patted Liang Yu’s hand and complained softly, “What’s up with you?”
Liang Yu didn’t speak. He just rubbed his chin against the curve of his neck and kissed his neck.
Xu Jingzhe let out a hiss and felt his entire back go numb.
The two of them were pressed far too close to each other. Liang Yu clearly had a reaction down there, and Xu Jingzhe couldn’t help but panic a bit. He didn’t know how to describe this kind of feeling. It was as if someone had lit a fire in the middle of a snowstorm, making him want to get closer and stay away at the same time. Xu Jingzhe was so anxious that he actually started sweating a little bit.
“Liang Yu.” Xu Jingzhe finally couldn’t take it anymore. His back was facing the other. He said in a serious voice, “Stop messing around. I really need to sleep. I have work tomorrow.”
Liang Yu didn’t move. Xu Jingzhe hadn’t turned off the microphone when he said this. No one could say for sure whether this bit would be included in the final cut.
Xu Jingzhe actually regretted it once the words left his mouth. He felt that his tone was a little harsh. He was just about to turn around to coax the other when he suddenly lifted the blanket and sat up. He looked rather huffy.
“You sleep.” Liang Yu might be angry, but he wasn’t going to make Xu Jingzhe stay up all night with him. He put on an unconcerned front and said gruffly, “I’m going to the bathroom by myself. Don’t follow me.”
Xu Jingzhe: “…”
