It was good for Tang Zhou that Lu Ye had seen Qiao Cheng’an cheating with his own eyes.
Otherwise, Tang Zhou didn’t know how many words it would take for him to convince Lu Ye that Qiao Cheng’an was a scumbag.
Once he believed it, it was a good thing.
In Lu Ye’s eyes, anyone or anything that could hurt Qiao Yuan was a piece of trash.
Qiao Cheng’an’s affair had already pushed Lu Ye to the brink of rage. If Tang Zhou further proved that he had targeted the wealth of the Sheng family twenty years ago, Lu Ye would only become more scrupulous.
Dealing with a cunning hypocrite like him with his and Qiao Yuan’s current abilities wouldn’t be an easy task.
In a situation of crisis, Lu Ye, to protect Qiao Yuan from as much harm as possible, would definitely try every means to change the status quo.
However, Qiao Cheng’an had been pretending to be a perfect father for years. This revelation would be a significant blow to Qiao Yuan, and Lu Ye’s hesitation was understandable.
“You go back first. Let’s wait until after the outing,” Tang Zhou patted his shoulder.
Lu Ye’s expression was solemn. “I understand.”
The rain stopped at 9pm.
After a day of tossing and turning, Tang Zhou was already exhausted. Unable to endure any longer, he collapsed on the bed, closed his eyes, and greeted Fu Shen, who was still leaning on the sofa. Soon, he entered the realm of dreams.
As for the matter of sharing a bed with Fu Shen, he didn’t really care about it. After all, in the dream, they had already slept together.
Tang Zhou’s nonchalant attitude left Fu Shen somewhat at a loss.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never shared a bed with any of the peers his age. Besides, he assumed that someone like Tang Zhou wouldn’t be used to sharing a bed with others.
Initially, he thought he could enjoy seeing Tang Zhou’s embarrassment, but unexpectedly, Tang Zhou went just straight to sleep.
The orange wall lamp created a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The light spilled onto the bed, outlining the young man’s long and slender figure.
He lay on his side, occupying only a third of the bed, and would easily fall off if he rolled over slightly.
Despite the room’s not-so-low temperature, the young man tightly wrapped himself in the blanket. Perhaps it was the strange smell of the hotel’s bedding that made him frown slightly.
Fu Shen silently looked at him for a while and couldn’t help but sigh. He pinched his collar and lowered his head to sniff it. He found no strange smell, so he gave up taking a shower.
Subconsciously, he didn’t want to wake Tang Zhou with the noise of the shower.
After changing into a set of pajamas, Fu Shen turned off the light and lay on his side on the other side of the bed.
The two of them were back to back, and it was perfectly possible to stuff another person in the middle.
As he lay down, the sagging of the bed disturbed Tang Zhou. Turning around, Tang Zhou stretched out his arm and happened to touch Fu Shen’s back.
A slight touch generated an infinite itching sensation.
Fu Shen shifted a bit to the side.
The itching disappeared, but the drowsiness refused to come.
Unable to sleep and maintaining the same position for a long time, Fu Shen’s arm had gotten somewhat numb due to the pressure. He sat up, carefully turned around, and lay back down.
The hotel’s curtains were quite blackout, so he couldn’t see Tang Zhou’s face. The obstacles in his mind were much smaller now. He closed his eyes and quietly awaited entry into the realm of dreams.
The early spring night was slightly cool.
Tang Zhou’s arm occupied half the bed, almost exposed, and sensing the cold, he directly snatched the blanket away in his sleep.
Fu Shen: …
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He tried to calmly retrieve the blanket from Tang Zhou’s grasp.

Tang Zhou was dreaming that he was exposed to a cold wind, his hands and feet freezing. He searched left and right but couldn’t find any clothes to wear, but suddenly, a source of warmth appeared on his hands, and he eagerly followed the heat, clinging tightly to it.
Fu Shen, who was hugged by Tang Zhou, looked bewildered, his eyes wide.
Although he couldn’t see clearly, Tang Zhou followed his hand, groped over, and passionately threw his arms around him.
The young man’s soft hair brushed against his neck, his forehead pressed against his chest, and his arm draped horizontally across his waist. The lingering scent of shower gel wafted around his nose. Fu Shen was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
He felt startled, as his heart suddenly started beating very fast.
Thud, thud, thud all the time, wouldn’t it wake Tang Zhou up?
If Tang Zhou awakened and saw them in this position, what kind of expression would he show?
Fu Shen’s heart unexpectedly harbored a subtle and peculiar expectation, as if he wanted to see Tang Zhou’s sudden change of color, yet also as if he was making excuses for his unwillingness to push Tang Zhou away.
Perhaps the fragrance of the shower gel summoned the sleepy bugs, and Fu Shen gradually felt drowsy.
The world fell into silence.
Tang Zhou was awakened by the heat.
He had never felt so hot even when sleeping with the heater on. It was as if he was surrounded by a giant furnace, hot and sweaty, yet unable to move.
Struggling to open his eyes, he was met with a collarbone, straight and tough, with a hidden sharpness.
His short-circuited brain began to function normally. He blinked, about to move away quietly when a slightly hoarse, magnetic voice vibrated through his chest, penetrating into Tang Zhou’s ears.
“Did you sleep well?”
With a teasing tone accompanied by a light laugh, Tang Zhou instantly was wide awake. Pretending to be calm, he sat up, and his hands hastily pushed down…
Fu Shen gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan. Tang Zhou quickly withdrew his hands, and in the heat of the moment, he turned his back and said, “Morning- that’s normal. You don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
“……”
Tang Zhou guiltily shifted his gaze away, clumsily got out of bed, and coincidentally, someone called him. Without even checking the caller ID, he answered.
“Tang Zhou, get up and come out for breakfast. After eating, let’s go out together.” Lu Ye spoke and hung up.
Through the gap in the curtains, Tang Zhou saw a ray of sunlight.
Today was a good day, perfect for an outing.
The Lishan Scenic Area was considered one of Fancheng’s landmarks, not only featuring a fascinating natural scenery but also well-equipped with complete amusement facilities and leisure areas.
Although Fu Shen’s three teammates were not familiar with the people from the travel club, everyone was of the same age, and getting closer with each other was just a matter of exchanging a few words.
After a night of rest, Qiao Yuan was back to full strength. Being naturally playful, he wanted to try everything he saw, and Lu Ye indulged him, accompanying him in every game, no matter how childish.
In front of others, Tang Zhou always behaved quite aloof. No one dared to invite him to play, and he genuinely didn’t like to play those games. He preferred admiring the scenery alone.
Due to the morning’s awkwardness, Tang Zhou hadn’t spoken to Fu Shen all this time. Fortunately, both of them were not particularly talkative, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Tang Zhou greeted the others who were playing games, aimlessly walking towards a distant place.
Passing by a shop that offered archery games, Tang Zhou couldn’t help but stop. His gaze fixed to the dolls hanging in the shop, motionless.
Although these dolls looked a bit inferior, they were so cute!
Tang Zhou had a soft spot for dolls. Once he saw them, he couldn’t walk away.
The shopkeeper quickly pitched his business, wearing a smile and saying, “Young man, want to give it a try? Ten yuan for twenty chances!”
Tang Zhou couldn’t resist and took out his phone to make a mobile payment. He knew he didn’t have any shooting talent, but what if? What if he hit the target?
He wanted the biggest one!
The shopkeeper enthusiastically handed him a bow, and the arrows were in a basket, ready to be used.
Tang Zhou drew the bow, set up the arrow, and posed confidently.
Thinking he had aimed at the bullseye, he released the arrow, which made a ‘bang’ sound as it hit the wall.
The shopkeeper comforted him, “It’s normal to be unskilled with it on the first try. Shoot a few more times, and you’ll get the hang of it.”
Tang Zhou: “……”
The words were correct, but something felt off.
Tang Zhou nodded and picked up the bow and arrow again.
Nineteen consecutive shots, not a single one hitting the target, let alone the bullseye.
Tang Zhou was about to give up on the last arrow when a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears, “Senior, can you let me shoot once?”
Without turning back, Tang Zhou replied indifferently, “Buy your own.”
Fu Shen leaned close to his ear and whispered something. Tang Zhou glanced at him, then at the shopkeeper, before opening his mouth and started negotiating, “Boss, he’s my friend. Is it okay to let him play this last chance?”
The shopkeeper nodded, “Sure, sure.”
Fu Shen asked, “If I hit the target, can I get a reward?”
The boss didn’t hesitate for a second, “Of course you can.”
He didn’t believe this young man could hit the target in one shot.
Tang Zhou handed the bow and arrow to him and stood beside him.
The moment Fu Shen pulled the bowstring, his demeanor suddenly changed. Those gentle and deep eyes, which were usually mild, got sharp and chilling, as if the target ahead was not the bullseye but his prey.
This version of Fu Shen was something Tang Zhou had only seen at the conference table, but that was a few years later, and that man was President Fu.
In the midst of his astonishment, an arrow shuddered and tore through the air, its momentum extraordinary as it charged toward the target, landing with a clanging sound right in the bullseye.
Tang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, then returned to calm.
He watched as Fu Shen retracted his sharpness, gently accepting the teddy bear handed over by the shopkeeper and approaching him.
The tall young man, holding the half-human-sized teddy bear, attracted the attention of many tourists, but he paid no attention to any of them.
“Here you go.”
In the backlight, the handsome young man smiled, with a perfectly fitting smile.
Tang Zhou came back to his senses.
“You take it.”
He didn’t want to hold and parade around with such a large bear, tarnishing his Tang Shen’s image.
Fu Shen noticed his thoughts and deliberately held the teddy bear between his arms. “Senior wants to give it to me?”
Tang Zhou glared at him, “If you want to play, go by yourself.”
“I told you, if I want to play, the boss would suffer heavy losses.”
This was what he whispered to Tang Zhou just now; otherwise, Tang Zhou wouldn’t have given him the last arrow.
Tang Zhou, who was initially skeptical, was convinced after witnessing it with his own eyes.
Dealing with a tough opponent like Fu Shen, the shopkeeper will indeed suffer losses.
He praised him casually, “You’re quite good at darts and archery.”
Fu Shen replied nonchalantly, “I learned it when I was a child.”
Tang Zhou found it strange. Given Fu Shen’s childhood family background, how could he have learned these things?
“Who did you learn from?”
Fu Shen lowered his gaze to the ground, “My maternal grandfather.”
Tang Zhou praised from the bottom of his heart, “Your grandpa is very amazing.”
“Yeah, he’s very amazing.” Fu Shen smiled faintly, nostalgia hidden in his eyes.
Tang Zhou’s heart softened and tried to comfort him, “You’re also very amazing.”
Fu Shen teased and laughed lightly, “How do you think I’m amazing?”
He just casually asked, not intending to imply anything else, but couldn’t escape the fact that Tang Zhou was prone to overthinking due to his guilty conscience..
Thinking about what he accidentally touched when he woke up in the morning, Tang Zhou discreetly moved his hands behind him, as if that could hide the dark incident.
Fu Shen caught a glimpse of his subtle movements, and after a moment of surprise, he almost burst out laughing.
The sudden ringtone of Tang Zhou’s phone broke the awkwardness. Tang Zhou quickly took out his phone to answer the call.
After hearing what the caller said, he furrowed his brow and spoke in a low voice, “I understand.”
After ending the call, he looked at Fu Shen.
“Help me tell Lu Ye and the others, I have to go back to Jiangcheng.”
Fu Shen hugged the teddy bear tightly and, almost involuntarily, spoke up.
“Together.”
The translator has something to say…
