Yuan Rui, however, was very horrified. He hid inside his room and secretly called Bai Tu, explaining: “I also don’t know why the show wants to hype this up. They didn’t say anything to me. Please don’t think too much of it.”
On the other side, Bai Tu said with a laugh: “It’s not like I haven’t experienced CP promotion before. I won’t think too much of it. I’ve also seen the videos that the fans had edited for you guys. They were actually pretty amusing.”
Yuan Rui felt relieved to hear that Bai Tu’s tone was relaxed as usual. He still hasn’t seen the videos that the fans edited so he asked curiously: “What videos?”
“The best of ‘LiangYuan‘ CP collection and such. I’ll send you the link.” Bai Tu said: “I don’t think we’ve added each other as friends on WeChat yet?”
Pissed off from browsing WeiBo, Zheng QiuYang grabbed a can of beer. He had just opened the tab when he saw Yuan Rui running out of the room quickly holding a tablet in his hands. With an accomplished face, he rushed in front of Zheng QiuYang and turned the tablet over for him to see. He said: “Look, look, hurry and look!”
Zheng QiuYang gave it a glance. There was a new friend notification. The other person had sent over the request, which had a gray line of text below, saying “I’m Bai Tu.”
Yuan Rui: “Hahahahaha”
Zheng QiuYang: “……”
Yuan Rui said excitedly: “In the future, I can speak to my male god anytime, anywhere!”
Just as Zheng QiuYang opened his mouth and got ready to scold him, Yuan Rui lowered his head and walked away while clicking on the tablet; he didn’t even look at his boyfriend’s expression.
Zheng QiuYang was choking in anger and hastily chased after him to see what he was saying with Bai Tu.
Bai Tu: [haha]
Yuan Rui: [kiss kiss]
Bai Tu: “I’ll share the video with you.”
Yuan Rui: “Waiting in anticipation!” [Drool]
Zheng QiuYang asked from behind him: “What video?”
Yuan Rui said happily: “Suggestive videos of his husband and me, edited by the fans.”
Zheng QiuYang: “……”
The tablet made a noise. The two people looked. Bai Tu shared a video link called “[The Great Detective LiangYuan] If life were like the first meeting, must bring insoles to enhance height.”
Zheng QiuYang: “…….”
Yuan Rui laughed nonstop and said: “This time Liang-ge is going to die of fury.”
The one really about to die of fury was actually Zheng QiuYang. The height joke was patented by him, alright? Even this was stolen?!
After Yuan Rui watched the videos that Bai Tu shared with him, the two people even nitpicked and discussed the details for a while before finally getting over this topic.
Bai Tu asked him: “You’re not going to record the show next Wednesday, right? Do you still have other work over the weekend?”
Yuan Rui said: “Nothing else.” The aftermath of the kissing video has yet to pass completely. At this moment, he hasn’t received any other job offers.
Bai Tu said: “Liang Xi is planning a housewarming party over the weekend. He only invited a few good friends, no outsiders. Why don’t you and your boyfriend come as well.”
Yuan Rui said happily: “Ok ok!”

Yuan Rui looked at him, a conflicted expression appearing on his face.
Zheng QiuYang thought to himself, pleased, He’s definitely going to accommodate me. Once he starts coaxing me, I’ll just reluctantly agree to go together with him.
With an indecisive expression, Yuan Rui said: “Then should I dress casually or formally?”
Zheng QiuYang: “…….”
Yuan Rui: “Hahaha.”
Zheng QiuYang took a deep breath.
Yuan Rui made a silly face at him and said: “Did you think I’d abandon Bai Tu? Keep dreaming.” After saying this, he even stuck out his tongue and blew a raspberry.
Infuriated, Zheng QiuYang reached out to grab him. Yuan Rui stood up and ran off immediately.
…… After he was caught, they hehehe’d until the middle of the night.
Over the weekend, the two people still attended Bai Tu’s housewarming party together. In addition to the two hosts, there were only about a dozen people present. They were Liang Xi’s friends from outside the entertainment circle. He didn’t invite anyone from within circle.
Bai Tu only invited Yuan Rui.
After discovering this, Yuan Rui was extremely happy. However, he also felt a slight heartache that his male god didn’t have friends.
However, Liang Xi’s friends were very friendly to Bai Tu, each and everyone of them calling him ‘SaoZi‘ both enthusiastically and respectfully. It was evident that they had been instructed and reminded plenty of times repeatedly by Liang Xi already.
Liang Xi and Bai Tu’s home was a double suite, much bigger than Yuan Rui and Zheng QiuYang’s home. When they entered, there was actually a young man skateboarding in the living room.
Although Zheng QiuYang didn’t like fans shipping LiangYuan, he didn’t have anything personally against Liang Xi himself. The two of them had pretty good impressions of each other already from before. He also felt very grateful that Liang Xi had brought Yuan Rui into <<The Great Detective>> show. When the two people met face to face, they actually started to get along pretty warmly.
Wang Chao also came. He dragged Zheng QiuYang around and introduced him to everyone they saw. Some people he had already met previously, all young people. The group chatted and drank a few cups together; everyone played together well enough. It became lively very quickly. Everyone could see that Zheng QiuYang and Yuan Rui came together. Zheng QiuYang didn’t want to mention this deliberately, therefore everyone just kept it to themselves.
Bai Tu brought Yuan Rui to tour downstairs and then led him upstairs to see the bedroom and the office. Downstairs, there was a cacophony of noise as people started to get rowdy. Bai Tu liked the quiet and didn’t really want to head down. Therefore, Yuan Rui stayed with him upstairs and chatted with him. The two dogs haven’t seen Yuan Rui for a long time and both begged unceasingly to be petted by him.
As Yuan Rui stroked the dogs’ heads, he said: “A while ago, I wanted to raise a cat. Later on, I saw a lot of posts online saying that cats need companionship or else they become easily depressed. But when I get busy, I definitely won’t have enough time to accompany it. My boyfriend can’t even take care of himself. So I had no choice but to give up.”
Bai Tu said with a smile: “Dogs are pretty much the same as well. When I go out to film, I can only ask Liang Xi to take care of them at home. Sometimes he’s also very busy and has no choice but to look everywhere for friends to help. I’m really not comfortable with leaving them at the pet shop. Before when I didn’t get together with Liang Xi yet, I could only raise QiuQiu. Alice came from Liang Xi.”
QiuQiu and Alice were the two dogs’ names.
“One time I needed to go out to film for three months. I really couldn’t find anyone to help me and had no choice but to put QiuQiu in a pet shop. When I came back, QiuQiu lost so much weight. The people at the pet shop said it had gotten sick and refused to eat.” Bai Tu caressed QiuQiu’s back and said: “It was inside a cage in the pet shop and as soon as it saw me, it started to cry. Tears dripped downwards nonstop, like a little child who had suffered great mistreatment. After I brought QiuQiu back home, QiuQiu absolutely refused to leave the house. Before, it loved going outside to play the most. No matter how much I coaxed it, it refused to go out. Perhaps it thought I was going to take it to the pet shop again. It took a long time for QiuQiu to slowly get better.”
Yuan Rui said understandingly: “It must have missed you everyday and became determined to never part from you ever again.”
Bai Tu felt somewhat upset and said: “Perhaps.”
Yuan Rui said: “In the fall, I went to Shanghai to film and was separated from my boyfriend for a while. At that time, everyday was especially painful. QiuQiu must have been the same as me. As soon as I returned, I told my agent, do not accept any more shows that were in other parts of the country for me.”
Bai Tu: “……”
Yuan Rui sighed and said: “But my agent didn’t agree. She even said I had no ambition and gave me a scolding.”
Bai Tu: “……She’s looking from a work perspective.”
“I know, that’s why I didn’t talk back either.” Yuan Rui then said with a slight anticipation: “Right now, the main thing is that I am still slightly popular so she’s regulating me a bit more strictly. Once I go out of style, it’ll be fine.”
Bai Tu: “….. En, I hope you, hope you… forget it, no blessings for you.”
The party dispersed by 11pm. Some people drank too much and didn’t want to leave yet. They were kicked in the butt by Liang Xi and rushed outside. The front entrance was a wave of chaos.
Yuan Rui and Bai Tu stood to the side and said their farewells. Yuan Rui said: “The acting king has been around Beijing lately. One of these days, I’ll invite you guys to a meal together.”
With a smile, Bai Tu nodded his head and said: “Okay.”
Yuan Rui said happily: “When I book a time, I’ll let you know. He even told me that he really, really likes you very much.”
Liang Xi was in the process of kicking his bros and only heard the last part clearly. He turned his head and said: “Who likes my wife?”
Yuan Rui hastily took all the responsibility: “Me, I really like your wife.”
Liang Xi raised his foot and was about to kick. To the side, Zheng QiuYang swiftly dragged away Yuan Rui and left hastily.
“In a few days, we can also invite friends to our house for a housewarming party.” On the way back, Yuan Rui didn’t drink so he planned as he drove: “At that time, we can also invite them over to play, and invite Wang Chao as well. Ah! How come Tomas didn’t come? I wanted to ask Wang Chao about it just now, but he kept drinking nonstop over there. There were too many people so I didn’t feel comfortable going over there.”
Zheng QiuYang drank a bit much and leaned against the back of the seat exhausted, saying: “Didn’t I tell you last time? They broke up.”
Yuan Rui said in astonishment: “They really split? They fought often like this. I thought this time was just a joke as well.”
Zheng QiuYang closed his eyes and said: “According to him, Xiao Xie and a previous partner got together again. The two of them were secretly meeting behind his back.”
Yuan Rui opened his mouth wide and asked: “Was the previous partner a man or a woman?”
Zheng QiuYang said: “A woman. Xiao Xie was straight before.”
Yuan Rui still didn’t quite believe it and asked: “Could it be a misunderstanding?”
“Probably not. It’s already been half a month. If it was a misunderstanding, Xiao Xue should have explained it clearly a long time ago.” Zheng QiuYang felt a bit dizzy and patted Yuan Rui’s arm, saying: “Enough questions. I need to nap for a bit. The aftereffect of Liang Xi’s liquor is extremely intense.”
Yuan Rui hastily helped him adjust the seat and whispered: “Go ahead and sleep then. I’ll drive slower. When we’re home, I’ll call you.”
Arriving downstairs, Yuan Rui saw that Zheng QiuYang was sleeping very heavily and even snoring slightly. Therefore, he extinguished the engines, sat next to him, and waited until Zheng QiuYang slept through this cycle.
Tomas and his previous girlfriend reconciled, so he dumped Wang Zhao? Wang Zhao was so unfortunate.
Yuan Rui turned his head to look at the soundly asleep Zheng QiuYang and felt a slight lingering trepidation in his heart.
When they first got together, Yuan Rui had always felt that Zheng QiuYang would do something like that sooner or later. If it wasn’t reigniting the flames with some previous girlfriend, then it’d be him getting interested in another pretty girl. At that time, Yuan Rui loved like everyday might be the very last day. He was waiting for the candy in his mouth to be mixed with a piece of glass, anytime. While he enjoyed the sweet happiness of being in love, he was scared witless, ready to bid farewell at any moment.
However, his insight in picking a boyfriend was really too amazing. Zheng QiuYang wasn’t that kind of person at all. Not only did he not go back to being straight, he didn’t change his affections; Zheng QiuYang also treated him so so good, too good even!
Yuan Rui reached out a hand and secretly caressed Zheng QiuYang’s face. Full of tender feelings, he thought, in the future he needed to treat his boyfriend even better.
Zheng QiuYang moved a bit and woke up, saying: “Yuan Xiao Rui, were you taking advantage of me while I was sleeping?”
Yuan Rui awkwardly waved his two hands and said: “No, no way.”
Zheng QiuYang huffed and said: “Even if you did, it’s nothing. I’m so handsome, how could a little smitten fool like you hold back.”
Yuan Rui thought to himself, he’s definitely not smitten! He asked: “Why do you always love to add a ‘little‘ to my name?”
Zheng QiuYang said inappropriately: “Because you’re small everywhere.”
Yuan Rui: “…….”
Zheng QiuYang: “Hahaha.”
Yuan Rui refused to accept this and said: “My height is not small.”
Zheng QiuYang: “……”
Yuan Rui: “Hahaha.”
Zheng QiuYang gave him a sideways glance.
Yuan Rui very quickly put away his smile and said: “Don’t tell me you’re angry now? I was joking.”
Zheng QiuYang remained silent.
Yuan Rui wrinkled his face, not knowing what to do.
Zheng QiuYang said: “Yuan Xiao Rui.”
Yuan Rui perked his ears and answered: “En?”
Zheng QiuYang looked at him and said: “I call you this because you’re my baby.”
Yuan Rui opened his eyes wide.
For once, Zheng QiuYang expressed some embarrassment and said: “At that time, I just started liking you. I wanted to carry you everywhere in my arms. I wanted to call you my sweetheart, my baby, but those were all too sappy. One day, I invited you out to play, you ran towards me from afar. I don’t even know what I was thinking at that time, but I immediately blurted out Yuan Xiao Rui. You looked at me with big round eyes, wanting to correct me yet not daring to. I suddenly felt the name sounded so fitting, that’s exactly what I should call you, and I’m the only one who’d be able to call you that, more sweetheart darling than sweetheart darling.
Yuan Rui thought to himself, How stupid, both stupid and sappy. But he was practically drowning to death in the sweetness, what to do?
Then recalling every moment that Zheng QiuYang called him that, Yuan Rui felt his love towards Zheng QiuYang ready to overflow from his heart. He decided to return the favor and asked: “Then what do you like me to call you?”
Not even thinking about it, Zheng QiuYang said instantly: “Call me husband.”
In the past, Yuan Rui refused to call him this no matter what. Today he actually said immediately: “Husband!”
Zheng QiuYang: “…….”
Stunned, he took quite a while to gain the energy to respond. Forcibly suppressing the urge to have car sex, he said without stopping to breath: “Get out, we’re going home! Hurry! Too slow and I’ll fck you right in the elevator!”
