Shao Yanxi decided to head back first after a short while in the resting room.
Due to all the repeated takes of the day, Liu Yuâan could only get off work at almost 11 that night.
When heâs back at the hotel, Shao Yanxi has already finished dealing with all the documents. Now heâs on a phone call, seemingly about work.
Liu Yuâan nods in greeting when he sees him, before entering the bathroom and showering. When heâs done Shao Yanxi is also done. Heâs dressed in a couplesâ pyjama with him.
Shao Yanxi says, âI have to go back tomorrow,â Liu Yuâan looks over while continuing to dry his hair with a towel, as Shao Yanxi continues, âand then head to Europe for business for up to a week.â
âSomeone else canât go for you?â
âNo.â
The work he wants to follow up on is about new research in psychiatric medicine. Although he knows next to nothing medically, but he needs to be there to feel safe.
Liu Yuâan takes a seat next to him, and says, âI see. My parts are concentrated over the next few days too, so I wonât be able to spend much time with you either.â
As he has to attend the next season of Celebsâ Wilderness Survival, the director moved his parts around and so heâll be a lot busier.
Shao Yanxi also knows that tomorrow Liu Yuâan will have to start working at 10:30.
After some hesitation, he hugs Liu Yuâan proactively and kisses his Adamâs apple, saying with a slightly odd tone, âletâs do it tonight!â
Liu Yuâan would, obviously, not reject that idea.
Before, because of this and that, they never had a home run, but to suddenly go all the way in a hotel elsewhere, huh.
Liu Yuâan prepared him for quite a while, and he only did it all the way once. Shao Yanxi fortunately did not suffer any injuries.
However, due to the rather generous size of that digit of Liu Yuâanâs, when Shao Yanxi woke up the next day he kept feeling like thereâs something still inside. It is making his gait weird, but, someone as prideful as him keeps forcing himself to work normally.
Of course, Liu Yuâan is familiar enough with how he walks to see how he must be feeling. He obviously canât just let him bumble around uncomfortably. He walks over and princess-carries him.
Shao Yanxi is suddenly lifted up from his suitcase-packing session and is quite surprised. He steadies himself holding onto Liu Yuâanâs neck and sounds displeased, âwhat are you doing?!â
âLet me see it.â
He says, putting him onto the bed, and about to pull his pants down.
To Liu Yuâan, since the two of them have done it all the way, then Shao Yanxi is now his partner for life. Thereâs nothing to be shy about.
Unlike Shao Yanxi whoâs really sensitive about these things. He sees what Liu Yuâan is doing and, thinking what Liu Yuâan was doing last night, how heâs already genuinely crying but Liu Yuâan still wouldnât let him go, he holds his pants tightly, and says, fully on alert, âIâm fine.â
Even if he also enjoyed it, he has had enough for now.
Liu Yuâan also knows how much of a brute he was yesterday. Even if he already rubbed cream on him after the fact, but it is still worrying how Shao Yanxi is right now.
He employs all his speech tactics to finally get Shao Yanxi to turn around for him, though still unwilling, largely.
Liu Yuâan checks thoroughly and determines thereâs not much of a problem, but just in case, he puts some more cream on him, during which he can feel his own desire rising⌠Unfortunately for him, heâll have to beat this one down himself later.
Before he does that, he asks Shao Yanxi and gets him to agree to tell the assistant to rebook the flight to later.
The assistant thought theyâd already done it countless times and didnât even entertain the idea of this change of schedule being due to that . Then, Liu Yuâan also contacts the director. As he knows Shao Yanxi is there, he readily agrees, even asking if Liu Yuâan wants additional time for resting.
Liu Yuâan ââŚâ
With a resigned tone, he tells him, âno need.â
âRight. Iâll move Zhang Jiahe and Hou Yuetingâs parts forward for now.â
After hanging up, Liu Yuâan sees Shao Yanxi knitting his brows, âyouâre not working?â
âIâll spend some time with you.â
It makes Shao Yanxi a bit happy to hear that, but, thinking about how Liu Yuâan was the one to cause all this, heâs not exactly that happy, but still, overall he still feels warm and fuzzy inside.
Though still, seeing the visibly energetic state of Liu Yuâanâs lower part, heâs hesitant before discreetly asking, âhow are you feeling?â
âHm?â Liu Yuâan raises his brow in return, âyou feel like helping me?â
Shao Yanxi goes beet-red and glares at him before moving his glare downwards. Liu Yuâan chuckles and holds Shao Yanxiâs hand, âwith your hand? Please?â
Maybe itâs because theyâve finally done it, but Liu Yuâan realises that Shao Yanxi seems to cling to him more than before; he was clingy already, and now itâs right in overdrive.
Though thinking about what Shao Yanxi did to Liu Yuâan in the original novelâs timeline, itâs not exactly unexpected.
Clinginess is also a form of possessiveness, but because he has been cooperative, so it doesnât escalate beyond that. Shao Yanxi in the book only went as far as locking him up because the Liu Yuâan in the book wouldnât let him cling to him.
In essence, itâs still Shao Yanxi wanting to spend time with him. Liu Yuâan thinks that if he treats Shao Yanxi like how the original âLiu Yuâanâ did, Shao Yanxi would still do all that all over again, even if right now he is quite obedient, subservient and spoiling him so much.
Still, just a reminder that Shao Yanxi isnât a goody-two-shoes. He was an antagonist, after all.
When he has a chat with Zhao Xian later, he would find out that the media company that took the photo of him and Shao Yanxi on the lake, from the main editor down to every single journalist have all been fired.
Though itâs probably not a very good idea for a celebrity to be on bad terms with the media, he isnât particularly sympathetic. One, he doesnât really care for that here, and two, this response from Shao Yanxi is already mild enough.
If we make an educated guess from his depiction in the book, Shao Yanxi would not only have bankrupt that media company, but even demolish the capital behind them, in an antagonistic way.
Anyway, after all the pleasant time together, Shao Yanxi took off for Europe the next day. He was actually fine in the afternoon already, but since the flight was rebooked for the next day and he didnât want to separate from Liu Yuâan either, he only left the next day.
Of course, without wasting his time either. He was on a video conference most of the time.
Liu Yuâan, meanwhile, had a much more relaxed day. He only had phone calls from people like his mother, and he also called his father and older brother after that.
When Shao Yanxi is off to Europe, Liu Yuâan is also back to work, though, for some reason, everyone is looking at him with odd gazes, again, but more discreet this time.
In fact, they seem to be stealing glances at his⌠butt?
Liu Yuâan is baffled until the poker-face Xiao-Zhang says awkwardly, âthey may be convinced that Mr. Shao has slept you.â
Liu Yuâan ââŚâ
No wonder the gazes are mostly from the female staffers.
Having been to so many worlds, he not only knows all about fujoshi culture, but heâs interacted with them as well.
Now that he knows, heâs finally able to decipher the one particularly uncomfortable gaze as âmotherly affection.â
It almost makes Liu Yuâan too conscientious to continue acting properly. Thankfully he is able to hold his face back from twitching, and thankfully, this scene is just the Emperor of the Yaoguai being distracted with his beauty in a mirror. He doesnât need to put up a dramatic expression.
As for them confusing their CP, Liu Yuâan doesnât really mind. Rather, he thinks Shao Yanxi might be happy to know they are thinking this way, even, for he is so very prideful.
Therefore, he tells Shao Yanxi this on WeChat while heâs free. Though, Shao Yanxi is on his plane right now. Heâll probably have a reply late.
