The next morning, everyone went to the park to finish filming some last shots. Afterward, Yuan Rui went to see the elephant he played tug-of-war with the day before. The elephant seemed to remember him as it kept rubbing its trunk against Yuan Rui. Yuan Rui spent quite a while hanging out with him until he had to leave unwillingly. It made him want to have a pet elephant so bad!
He also went to visit the lion cub he didn’t get to see the day before. He got to feed milk to it. It didn’t seem like a ferocious beast at all. Instead, it was just like a larger kitten. It bit onto the milk bottle’s nipple as it sucked away with all its energy; even its meaty little paws were holding tight onto Yuan Rui’s hands. It was super super cute, so cute that Yuan Rui wanted to get a cat as a pet now.
Once they all spent enough time in the park, they suggested going to the ocean to swim. Yuan Rui really wanted to go as well. He ran to the bathroom just to check on his chest, it didn’t seem as swollen as before so he got the courage to step out and tag along with the crew.
Not long after they arrived at the ocean, Wang Chao came as well. Since he was in the same idol group as Tomas and told others that he was on vacation, people didn’t think too much of it other than them just being bros hanging out together.
While Tomas was out swimming, Wang Chao didn’t put his attention on him. With a pair of dumb-looking, flower-patterned trunks, and a pair of glasses, he laid on a beach chair with his phone.
Yuan Rui went swimming for a bit. When he saw Wang Chao sitting there alone, he went to sit next to him and asked, “Why aren’t you swimming?”
Wang Chao looked up and replied with a smile when he saw that it was Yuan Rui, “Oh, it’s Mrs. Zheng. My ass hurts.”
Yuan Rui’s eyes immediately widened. His expression basically said “What kind of lewd words are you saying?”
Wang Chao quickly explained, “It’s not what you think, it’s just that my husband hit me.”
Yuan Rui’s eyes widened even more, his mind automatically started thinking that the pair was even lewder than he imagined.
Wang Chao didn’t know what to say at this point. He silently grabbed a bottle of soda from the basket to drink.
Near the shore, Tomas came out of the water. His exposed muscles glistened under the sun, instantly attracting four to five girls as they surrounded him, making incoherent sounds from far away.
Wang Chao cursed out loud.
Yuan Rui looked at him, then looked at Tomas, thinking, Oh gawd! This ship is toxic!
“Yuan Rui!”
Yuan Rui looked back to see the Taiwanese girl. She forgot her swimming suit earlier so she had to go back to the hotel to grab it. Now she was wearing a rainbow-colored bikini. She wasn’t very tall but she had a great figure. She had breasts that poked out just right, long legs, and fair, healthy skin; she looked gorgeous in the swimming suit.
Wang Chao immediately took off his sunglasses, calling out to her, “Hey there, beautiful!”
The girl recognized him. “Leo, you came too? Why aren’t you guys swimming?”
Yuan Rui said, “I just came up.”
Wang Chao was all smiles as he replied, “Do you want to go swimming? Do you need a guardian angel?”
He followed after the girl to go in the water. Even in the water, he kept circling around the girl, looking very punchable.

Yuan Rui got himself a bottle of soda too. He bit on the straw with the strong desire to question Wang Chao, Does your ass not hurt anymore?

After at least a minute, the two came up to the surface again, then swum back onto the land.
Wang Chao came back with a gleaming expression, Tomas didn’t come with him so he sat down alone. His cheeks were plump red, his lips even more. They were so red that it seemed like they were seeping blood. If one looked closely, one would be able to see the bite marks on them. He put his trunks back on as he humphed their group’s new song, “You ask me: what the hell is love, what the hell, hey! What the hell is it…”
Mr. Yuan, who saw everything from the sideline, thought that those lyrics were brilliant.
Many of them had a flight scheduled for the day after tomorrow, Tomas and Wang Chao were going to stay a few more days in Sanya before heading back. Yuan Rui was the only one who needed to leave that night for work. He said his goodbyes to everyone that afternoon, then rushed to the airport.
As they waited in the VIP room, Zhao Zhengyi said, “Yuan-Ge, is that your godbrother?”
Yuan Rui turned to see Meng Lai with a group of people. He instantly turned back around, not wanting to be seen by him.
Zhao Zhengyi understood right away as he stopped looking in that direction as well. He whispered, “I heard that your godbrother doesn’t have a good relationship with our godmother. The type that wouldn’t even talk when they see each other.”
Yuan Rui did not expect that at all. “Really?”
Zhao Zhengyi nodded. “Really. Think about it, this movie is such a big deal and yet our godmother didn’t even come. It’s possible that it’s because they didn’t want to see each other.”
Yuan Rui started thinking, no wonder Meng Lai didn’t know that Yang Lu had made him her godson. It’s easy for the relationship of a single-parent household to get awkward. Maybe Meng Lai was closer to his dad.
The speaker announced that they could board now. When they got up to leave, Meng Lai and his group still hadn’t left yet. Yuan Rui kept his head low to dim his presence. When he speed-walked behind Zhao Zhengyi, during a turn, he happened to see Meng Lai looking in his direction through the glass wall. It also didn’t seem like he’d just realized that he was there.
Yuan Rui, “…”
All Meng Lai did was smile at him and mouthed a “goodbye” at him.
Back in Shanghai, the team steadily filmed for eight days straight. Finally, the filming was completed.
During the celebration dinner, Yuan Rui got to see Song Huanyan’s boyfriend in person. He seemed even younger and promising in real life, a mature individual who became successful through his own hard work. Plus, he treated Song Huanyan very well. Not only did he respect her wishes, but he was also willing to be the unnamed hero on her journey to achieving her dreams. That was indeed true love.
Yuan Rui saw how suited the two were for each other and felt very happy for Song Huanyan.
What made him even happier was that he could finally go back to Beijing!
By now, with The Sparkling Friend’s high views and trending topics, Yuan Rui’s fame had risen as well. Even the skincare companies who wanted to reach out to him had increased by two times. His Weibo follower count shot up from 6 million in the summer to over 9 million now. With his 10 million milestone in sight, he posted on Weibo that he would expose a childhood picture of himself once they reach 10 million. The comments complained jokingly, “That’s not sincere enough! We want to see your nudes!”
All in all, he was more famous than before.
This time when he arrived in Beijing, the number of fans who went to the airport to see him had increased as well. The line of fans extended all the way from the arrival hall to outside the airport. The fans held up posters, LED light signs, and a bunch of banners with their fan accounts. Once he stepped out, they all yelled out “Yuan Mengmeng”! Their screams were loud enough for it to echo throughout the airport, almost scaring Yuan Rui into going back in.
Once they finally made it out of the airport, he was loaded with a mountain of gifts again. He organized them in the backseat happily. Zhao Zhengyi was eyeing an extra-large bag of snacks, and Yuan Rui quickly hugged it in caution, telling him, “I’ll buy you whatever you wanna eat, but I can’t give you these.”
These were all gifts from his fans, he’s going to take them all home.
He’s about to go home!
Zheng Qiuyang had been waiting downstairs since early in the morning. He had been waiting for so long that his nose tip was getting red from the cold. When the van stopped in front of him, Yuan Rui immediately jumped out. Without a care in the world, he leaped into his arms, the two gave each other a big, warm hug.
They even simultaneously felt their noses tinkling from wanting to cry.
Zhao Zhengyi saw and quickly opened the car door as he nagged, “Let go! Let go right now!”
Yuan Rui let go of his boyfriend very unwillingly. Then they stared at each other for a few seconds before both smiling.
Zhao Zhengyi unloaded all his luggage and gifts. Yuan Rui held onto the gifts while Zheng Qiuyang took the luggage. Since there was nothing else for him to do, Zhao Zhengyi said, “I’ll be heading home now, and uh… can you guys leave the PDA for when you go inside? Please?” He said as he bowed with his hands folded in front.
Yuan Rui said bashfully, “I understand. You can leave now, tell your parents hello for me.”
Zhao Zhengyi left. They two held back as they went upstairs. Zheng Qiuyang entered the passcode and Yuan Rui followed after him.
Once they were inside, both of them lost control. Tossing everything aside, they kissed each other intensely. As if they were drowning and holding onto a life-saving straw; as if they were desert travelers who’d just found a spring.
Yuan Rui thought, I’m gonna die! I’m so blessed!
At that moment, Zheng Qiuyang’s mind only cared about kissing him. He said nothing as he brought him to the dining table with his hand around Yuan Rui’s waist. He plopped him on the table and Yuan Rui spread his legs very obediently. Zheng Qiuyang stood between his legs, he kept the kiss going as he undid his belt, reaching inside with his hand.
Yuan Rui let out a groan and leaned back subconsciously. Zheng Qiuyang went ahead and pushed him down for him to lay flat against the table. He stripped down Yuan Rui’s jacket and rolled his t-shirt up above his chest, before dipping his head down to engulf it with his mouth.
Yuan Rui felt a numbing sensation spreading from head to toe. His calves twitched for a while and he couldn’t hold back from wrapping his legs around Zheng Qiuyang’s waist.
He screamed inside, AHHHH this is so lewd! Don’t stop!
Zheng Qiuyang continued to strip off his pants and underwear as well. He unzipped his pants as he entered without preparation.
The dining table was pretty sturdy. However, against the great forces, the table legs keep lifting and falling back down, letting out continuous clank noises. But no one could care about it at that moment.
After a round of unusual roughness on the table, they came and calmed down a bit. They kept embracing each other as they made out again. Then, they changed the setting to the bed, now it was a lot more gentle. They still didn’t want to separate. They almost wished they could just morph into each other and become one person.
Yuan Rui came again. Zheng Qiuyang was afraid that he couldn’t handle it, so he stopped as well. “Did I hurt you just now?” he asked.
Yuan Rui hadn’t come back to his senses yet. His brows were furrowed as his eyes kept shut. After a while, he finally answered, “Only a little, it’s not a big deal.”
Zheng Qiuyang held onto him tightly. “I missed you so so much.”
Yuan Rui was overwhelmed by happiness. He opened his eyes to look at him. “I missed you a lot too, I dreamed about you every day.”
Zheng Qiuyang chuckled. “What did you dream about me doing?”
Yuan Rui squirmed around, not wanting to answer.
Zheng Qiuyang poked inside him, he let out a soft moan then said with a flustered face, “Basically… basically this.”
Zheng Qiuyang smiled next to his ear. “Every single day?”
Yuan Rui smiled with him as well and said, “Not really, I dreamed about other stuff too. This one time, you bought a super expensive air conditioner. I said it was too expensive and you got mad. I cooked for you and you said it wasn’t good, you even packed up and said you were leaving. Of course, I couldn’t bear to watch you leave so I tried stopping you. Suddenly, your mom came, she even brought a girl with her. She said the girl was your fiancée and you guys were about to get married and have a kid.”
“…And then what happened?” Zheng Qiuyang inquired.
Yuan Rui told him embarrassingly, “Then I woke up from crying.”
Zheng Qiuyang, “…”
“That girl’s chest was huge.” Yuan Rui gestured with his hands. “This huge.”
Zheng Qiuyang, “…”
Zheng Qiuyang was a bit saddened as he thought about how Yuan Rui probably had no sense of security in this relationship with him. He was probably worried that he might like women more than him, worried about his family, worried that he may want a child.
Yuan Rui suddenly asked, “Do you like kids?”
Zheng Qiuyang quickly said, “No, I hate kids.”
Yuan Rui was a bit disappointed. He continued to ask, “What about little animals?”
Zheng Qiuyang said, “They’re alright, I don’t especially like them.”
He hugged Yuan Rui even tighter, confessing, “I only like you, you alone is enough for me.”
Yuan Rui chuckled, then said, “But I like kids and little animals.”
Zheng Qiuyang, “…”
Yuan Rui suggested, “Can we get a cat?”
“…If you like it, sure. But we should think about it after we finish moving.”
Yuan Rui was taken aback for a moment before he quickly exclaimed in excitement, “That’s right! Hurry up and come! Then we can go see our new home!” Once he finished speaking, he started taking deep breaths to tighten his grip.
Zheng Qiuyang, “…”
Zheng Qiuyang came very gloomily as he was about to pass out from anger. After not seeing each other for such a long time, who the fuck wants to climax like this?!
I was almost cry a bit at the part when ZQY sad YR not feel safe of this relationship, then… THAT
still teared up from laughing tho 🤣🤣🤣
Gosh the last part of this chapter was a rollercoaster of emotions for me…
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
gosh they are so silly but so adorable
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Yuan Rui is so dorky, I love him.
thanks for the chapter <3
Tomas and Wang Chao are NOT a good couple. I know there’s an extra story by this author buuuut judging from how she writes them in this book, not a good look. They may have affection and attraction, but they seem to hurt one another every time we see them. Just constant miscommunication, disinterest, forced kisses aka “corrective behavior” which is just a sign of a bad relationship.
I know I can’t control seeing them bc the author has made these couples a part of one big word setting. I just hope they’re featured less in this book.
More Rui and Qiyuang!!
I mean, to be fair, I think the author kinda agrees with you since even from Yuan Rui’s dialogue, he called them a toxic couple. Even though it’s for comedic effect.
Holy $hit! 😂
thanks for the chapter!
