Mid-Autumn Festival, Zheng QiuYang’s 34th birthday.
Yuan Rui ordered a Koi birthday cake. He set up the candlelight and roses, decorated the home in a very romantic manner, and planned for an unforgettable celebration.
Yuan Rui happily sang the birthday song and said: “Blow out the candles! Make a wish, make a wish! The Koi King is very effective. It’ll definitely make all your wishes come true.”
Zheng QiuYang looked at the vivid and realistic Koi on the cake and felt extremely speechless at this cake’s aesthetics. He said: “Effective my ass. You make wishes about losing popularity everyday. How come you haven’t lost your popularity yet? You promised we’d go on vacation and travel together. How many years has it been, it still hasn’t come true.”
“Soon, soon. QiuYang believe me,” Yuan Rui clenched his fist, saying extremely confidently: “This year, I will definitely go out of style.”
Zheng QiuYang prepared to blow out the candles. Yuan Rui immediately pressed both palms together. Zheng QiuYang had no choice but to emulate him. He indulgently closed his eyes and silently made a wish— Koi King, please protect Yuan XiaoRui. Let him be healthy and happy. Popular or not, it doesn’t matter. It’d be great if he could make time to come vacationing with me. We can go anywhere, it doesn’t matter. Just the two of us. Without the assistant, bodyguard, and big pile of people following us. Long live the Koi King.
Yuan Rui asked curiously: “What did you wish for? It seems like quite a long wish.”
Zheng QiuYang made something up with a completely serious face: “I wished to be even thicker and longer.”
Yuan Rui with a bitter face: “It’s best that doesn’t come true. It’s already very……”
Zheng QiuYang: “Hahahahahaha.”
He took a breath and blew out the candles. To set the mood, they had closed the light just now. Instantly, the room turned dark. He just started to grope around for the switch to turn on the light when Yuan Rui suddenly said: “QiuYang, do you hear that strange noise?”
Zheng QiuYang: “What…… it sounds like a clock?”
Yuan Rui said in terror: “But the clock we have at home is silent.”
In the pitch-black darkness, tick tock tick tock tick tock, faster and faster.
Zheng QiuYang thought it was some kind of surprise and said in amusement: “Stop playing already, wifey……”
Tick—!
A bright light appeared before the two people’s eyes at the same time. However, what greeted them was the bizarre view of a multitude of irregular yet wondrous colors. They felt like they were flying swiftly through a very, very long 3D tunnel and then, everything finally stopped. The world quieted down.
Yuan Rui was pushed forward by a force and fell face forward onto a soft rug. When he raised his head and looked up, there was a man in front of him with a completely astonished expression on his face.
Yuan Rui: “……”
The man: “……”
Yuan Rui: “Hello.”
The man: “Hello…… no wait! Who are you! Why did you fall out of my washing machine?!”
Yuan Rui: “Ah???”
He hastily turned to look. He…… he really did come out of a washing machine! What’s going on?!
“Your washing machine,” Yuan Rui said sincerely: “is really nice. I saw it once in the mall. It was too expensive, I didn’t want to pay that much money to buy it.”
“???” The man said: “I don’t know how much it cost. Huo-laoshi was the one who bought…… no wait! How did you get inside my family’s washing machine? Ai, don’t move!” He picked up the broom to the side and got into an attack stance.
Yuan Rui can only maintain his face-plant position, and say in distress: “I also don’t know how I got inside it…… Huh? You don’t recognize me?”
The man, completely baffled: “Who are you?”
Yuan Rui was overjoyed by the unexpected good news: “That’s great. I’ve really fallen out of popularity!”
Hearing this, the man examined him carefully: “Are you also part of the entertainment circle?”

Yuan Rui said hastily: “I’m not a bad person! I’m called Yuan Rui. I was a model before. Later on, I changed professions and became an actor. I’ve performed in reality shows and soap operas. It’s fine if you don’t recognize me. It takes a second to go online and find out that I’m not lying.”
The man: “!!!”
Yuan Rui said: “Really.”
The man said strangely: “You have a boyfriend named Zheng QiuYang too? He is three centimeters shorter than you. When leaving the house with you, he needs to wear insoles to enhance his height.”
Yuan Rui: “That’s right, that’s right…… How did you know? I’ve never told anyone about this!”
The man touched Yuan Rui’s forehead with the brush of the broom and said: “Is your head broken from reading novels?”
Yuan Rui: “???”
After a series of difficult verifications, the man finally believed that Yuan Rui was really “That Yuan XiaoRui”.
The man named Jian NingChuan said: “Did you know you’re a character from a book?”
Yuan Rui: “……”
Jian NingChuan: “And that book of yours is extremely stupid.”
Yuan Rui: “……”
Jian NingChuan: “I don’t really read a lot of transmigration stories, nor have I read any plot settings where characters within a book can travel outside. This feels pretty novel. Did you come out to do some kind of mission? Is this a quick transmigration? Do you have to take down the gong of every world?”
Yuan Rui: “……”
Jian NingChuan: “That’s pretty unfortunate. I’m the gong of this world. My shou and I have a pretty good relationship. You won’t be able to complete your mission.”
Yuan Rui was extremely shocked: “You’re a gong? No way! How come I’m always standing on the wrong side of the CP???!!!”
Jian NingChuan recalled what happened in the novel and laughed loudly: “You really are so stupid. Xie ZhuXing is such a gong, how did you mistake him for a shou?”
Yuan Rui: “He…… alright, he is pretty gong. But you? You don’t seem like a gong at all.”
Jian NingChuan said awkwardly: “Aiya. I’m a meek gong.”
Yuan Rui was Yuan Rui after all; he very quickly accepted the fact that he was a character from a novel. Following the flow of things, he asked: “What’s my book called? I also want to read it.”
Jian NingChuan: “Mr. Yuan is Always Unhappy. Let me go find it for you. A while ago, the author just unlocked your story. Before that, you were locked terribly. Now we can finally read the entire novel.”
Yuan Rui asked in confusion: “Why lock me?”
Jian NingChuan: “Who knows.”
Yuan Rui: “Also, why is it called I’m always unhappy? I’m very happy every day.”
Jian NingChuan: “Hahaha, why else would I say this story was very stupid.”
The two people started to read this stupid novel together happily.
Yuan Rui: “So stupid, me hahahahaha.”
Jian NingChuan: “Hahahahaha”
The skies gradually turned dark.
Jian NingChuan warned ahead of time: “My family’s shou is almost home from work. He’s very handsome, but he’s a shou. So don’t even think about it.”
Yuan Rui: “Okay.”
Soon afterwards, Huo Fu opened the door and entered.
Jian NingChuan brought Yuan Rui to greet him: “Huo TianTian, this is my new friend.”
Huo Fu: “Hello.”
Yuan Rui: “Hello…… you’re so handsome!!!”
Jian NingChuan roared: “He’s a shou!”
Yuan Rui: “Oh oh oh oh…… Xiao Jian, your shou is so handsome!!!”
Huo Fu, very politely: “Thank you. I also think the same.”
The man who returned together with Huo Fu said furiously: “Excuse me! Can you guys not see me!!!”
Jian NingChuan flipped out, saying: “Who are you? Huo Fu, why the hell did you suddenly bring a strange man back?! Don’t have a relapse on me, you green tea bitch!”
Yuan Rui: “……Xiao Jian, this is my gong.”
Huo Fu: “I met him downstairs.”
Zheng QiuYang: “When Yuan XiaoRui and I transmigrated over, we got separated. I felt him inside this apartment complex, but I didn’t have the entrance card and couldn’t come inside. I troubled this Mr. Huo to bring me up.”
Yuan Rui asked in surprise: “How did you know I’d definitely be in Mr. Huo’s home?”
Zheng QiuYang said in irritation: “Finding the most handsome guy is always the right choice.”
Huo Fu smiled faintly: “The two of you really have pretty good aesthetics.”
Jian NingChuan stepped forward to shake hands: “Mr. Zheng, hello hello…… You’re much more handsome than my mom. He even acted as you before. Do you want to watch your socially appropriate broship web series?”
Yuan Rui said in delight: “There’s a drama? I want to see, I want to see.”
Zheng QiuYang: “Stop wasting time watching a drama! Do you not want to return?”
Yuan Rui: “Oh right. Why did we come here?”
Zheng QiuYang: “Isn’t it all because of your Koi King? I said I wanted to go on a two-person vacation with you, so it sent us here. What King?! Not comparable to Yang ChaoYue the slightest!
Yuan Rui: “……Oh. A girl is naturally much cuter than a fish.”
Zheng QiuYang: “I don’t mean that! Wifey, don’t get angry. I love you.”
Yuan Rui: “I didn’t get angry. I love you too.”
Jian NingChuan: “Comment— You guys are so mushy.”
Huo Fu seemed to be the only one present with some intelligence. He said: “How are you guys going to return?”
Yuan Rui asked: “QiuYang, where did you come from?”
Zheng QiuYang: “The sewers.”
Jian NingChuan: “No wonder there’s such a huge smell.”
Yuan Rui: “Then can we return by crawling back into the washing machine?”
Jian NingChuan: “Impossible. How could it be that stupid? Do you think this is inside your book?”
Yuan Rui: “Xiao Jian, I’m going to say it, but don’t be unhappy…… Judging by your style, I feel like you and I are written by the same author.”
Jian NingChuan: “……”
Taking the lead, Zheng QiuYang climbed into the washing machine. Immediately, he disappeared.
Yuan Rui patted Jian NingChuan’s shoulder and said: “Xiao Jian, see. Such a casual setting. You and I are definitely from the same author, no doubt.”
Jian NingChuan: “…… Don’t talk anymore. I have a migraine.”
Yuan Rui said: “I’m going. I’ll come play with you next time when I get the chance.”
The two people hugged and bid farewells. Right before Yuan Rui entered the washing machine, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head around again.
Jian NingChuan had a sweet temperament and was somewhat reluctant to see him leave. Immediately he said: “What’s the matter? Is there something else you want to say to me?”
Unexpectedly, Yuan Rui asked Huo Fu instead: “Mister Huo, how much money did your washing machine cost? I want to ponder on it and see if I can buy one myself next Single’s Day at a super low price.”
Huo Fu: “……”
Jian NingChuan: “……”
Ding—Back home.
“Happy birthday!” Yuan Rui opened the light.
As if dreaming, Zheng QiuYang said: “Was what happened just now real?”
Yuan Rui nodded his head repeatedly: “Koi King is so effective!”
Zheng QiuYang: “You call that effective? Are you stupid.”
Yuan Rui said: “Didn’t you wish to go on a vacation?”
Zheng QiuYang said wearily: “A one-day vacation to the sewers!? That’s called effective?”
Yuan Rui got up and ran into a room. Then he came out dragging a suitcase in one hand.
Zheng QiuYang: “???”
Yuan Rui raised both arms, gestured ‘surprise’, and said loudly: “QiuYang! I already asked for time off. The plane tickets have been booked as well. This time, we’re leaving whenever you’re ready! Let’s go vacationing!”
Zheng QiuYang said in both surprise and shock: “This is my birthday present?”
“Do you like it?” Yuan Rui said: “Hurry up and forget about the Koi King and Yang ChaoYue. Reblog this Yuan XiaoRui and all your wishes will come true.”
Under this blissful wonderful full moon night, I wish you guys the best of luck and happiness.
