Having been born with such a birthmark had led him to hearing too many beautified legends, such as that it was a mark from heaven, and after reincarnating, it would be the marker that would let the relatives or partners from your last life remember you, no matter what you turned into. However, Fang Juexia was a total atheist, a person who only ever believed in science, ever since he was a child. When he came across these kinds of words, he could only regard it as a superstitious legend.
It was already hard to predict a personâs present life, so how could anyone place their trust in an afterlife?
Whatâs more, he had once very much hated this wrong mark that had made him miss out on his dreams of performing on a stage.
But his naive and stubborn lover, who, even if he had no natural birthmarks, still wanted to carve one out to match his own birthmark. This way of doing difficult things no matter what really fit Pei Tingsongâs personality.
But thinking of what he had said before, Fang Juexia still couldnât help laughing. He even stretched out his index finger and chucked his chin, imitating Pei Tingsongâs past actions. âWhat nonsense, how is your skin mediocre?â
Pei Tingsong also laughed with him. âMediocrity is always relative. Iâm glad to be inferior to you on this point.â
Knowing he couldnât outtalk this guy, he only smiled in response. âAnyway, you are the best at quibbling.â Fang Juexia lowered his head and hands, sliding his fingertips gently down the 'scarâ on Pei Tingsongâs hand. âDid it hurt more when I bit you or when you got the tattoo?â
Pei Tingsong didnât even think about it. âNeither hurt.â
âLiar.â When Fang Juexia looked up at him, he looked at him with the same look as when he had blamed him for saving him on the stage before. âThe skin here is so thin, it must have hurt.â
âDonât worry, even the scabs have fallen off, I donât feel anything there anymore.â Pei Tingsong even deliberately rubbed that spot, demonstrating that it really didnât hurt.
âThen how will you explain this?â Fang Juexia asked, âQiang Ge and the media, they will all ask about it.â
Pei Tingsong shrugged. âIâll just say I wanted to get a tattoo. After all, who can control me?â
He really didnât fear the heavens or the earth, he hadnât changed at all. Fang Juexia looked down at the scar, and thought of that night, how he and Pei Tingsong had gotten through it with Fang Juexia drunk. Although he had no memory of it, based on his alcohol tolerance and drunken behavior, that night, this young master should have suffered a lot.
But Pei Tingsong also didnât behave that well while drunk, and hadnât he also gone to a lot of trouble to take care of him? Fang Juexia rebutted himself in his heart.
Thinking of something, Fang Juexia raised his head, rubbed his throat, and then drew close to Pei Tingsongâs ear. âShould I get a tattoo here? This is where you bit me.â
âThatâs not okay.â Pei Tingsong directly moved his hand down. He didnât want his baby to run out to get a tattoo; when he got pricked by the needle, Pei Tingsong wouldnât even have the time to get distressed. âHaving your birthmark at the corner of your eye is enough, thatâs the most special one.â
The live broadcast of the awards ceremony only finished at 11 p.m., but this big music event that everyone watched had already aroused lively discussion all over the Internet. Many big verified Weibos had followed the award results in realtime and published it online.
Originally, the three awards most paid attention to in the BMA awards ceremony were the Best Male Singer of the Year, the Best Female Singer of the year, and the Best Group of the Year, and since the Best Group award would usually be given to a band, it held a more niche audience. But this time, the Group Award was given to a popular boy-band, which could be said to be a very hot topic, so Kaleido once again appeared on the Hot Search list.
[@Can you lend me a lighter: Itâs really amazing that a boy-band can get nominated for four awards and win two at the BMA.]
[@You are very beautiful: When I saw that Kaleido was nominated for Best Group, I made a bet with my friend. At that time, I thought I would have to pay him, after all, Kaleido has only had two popular albums, and even if they were solo singers, they wouldnât have great chances. Within a year, at the speed of light, theyâve become more and more popular. K really has been chosen by the heavens.]
[@Youâre thinking about peaches to eat: BMA is getting worse and worseâŠ]
[@456 come with me replying to @Youâre thinking about peaches to eat: Change your profile picture first, then talk about BMAÂ ba. After all, your bias canât win at this level for their entire life.]
[@Goldfish brain canât be saved replying to @Youâre thinking about peaches to eat: I think they are totally worthy of it ah. There were more than ten live performances there, and K was definitely in the top three, and the bands who were also nominated were just alright ba. Oh, if youâre a hipster, pretend I didnât say that, but your profile picture also looks to be of an idol, so why do you bother your own family?]
[@Not a fish: Pei Tingsongâs acceptance speech was very awesome, proud but not crazy. He spoke casually and skillfully, no wonder he can write such good lyrics. Sure enough, P College professionally churns out unmatched geniuses in the same profession.]
[@WWW replying to @Not a fish: Yes, yes, yes, Fang Juexiaâs acceptance speech was also very good, it didnât sound like it was impromptu at all. I feel that both of them are idols with their own ideas, itâs very rare. Maybe itâs because they all went to college ba [dog head]]
[@Lilychou: Before, I even bet they could win Album of the Year, but it seems that the BMAs were more balanced. After all, in the year-end selection of several other music platforms, if the Song of the Year wasnât âBreak Throughâ then it was âNight Tripâ, so how is everyone else supposed to compete?]
[@Smarui: Theyâve become gods, theyâve become gods. Once you win a Best of the Year, youâre not at the same level as other groups. I envy K fans everyday]
[@Dududu laugh: Iâm going to say Iâm going to become a fan of that crybabyâŠso cute ah]
[@Is it wrong for me to like handsome guys: I found that this group are all pretty cool, and they have strong abilities]
[@Weâre not compatible, thank you: Although Star Chart is small, at least itâs serious about music and has good judgment when choosing artists. They donât follow the capitalist line of killing the chicken to get the eggs. Iâm always a bit relieved to see that there are still some boy-bands that are seriously engaged in creative work; at least not everyone is only concerned about the numbers while neglecting the quality of the work. I hope that there will be more and more groups like this. Donât let original music die, okay.]
While everyone was talking about Kaleido winning the BMA Best Group award and the Best Lyric award, TingJue fans were busy pressing down on the closet door, because Pei Tingsong and Fang Juexia had displayed many fluffy moments during the awards ceremony that they nearly exploded. The once-in-a-century scene when Pei Tingsongâs award was announced alone attracted a large number of passers-by.
[PTS and FJX are a good match ah], [They canât really be dating ba, this atmosphere is too real], [Shit, Iâm bewitched, what kind of Godâs Favored Son x Beautiful Wife pairing is this, itâs too real, itâs too real]âthese kinds of words emerged endlessly, increasing more and more. At first, the TingJue girls were still very proud, but soon they started growing more and more flustered, and eventually even began to doubt themselves and life.
But this topic was really too blazingly popular, with even big verified entertainment Weibos producing a collection of fluffy moments, taking the lead in shipping them. This forced the CP fans to press down on the closet door everywhere for the sake of these two completely unaware biases.
[@As long as you ship then ship fast: Todayâs BMA was really wonderful, I finally understood why the TingJue CP was so hot. You guys can have a look at this collection, itâs amazing. P1 is PTS holding FJXâs chin during the performance, be sure to watch the video! P2 is an official BMA camera shot! And itâs the scene when Pei Tingsongâs award was announced, and as a result, we caught a shot of Fang Juexiaâs hand on his chest [swoon]. P3 is the scene where Pei Tingsong mentions Fang Juexia during his acceptance speech. The following pictures are all of Pei Tingsong and Fang Juexia madly whispering into each otherâs ears while seated in the audience. Fang Juexia also rubbed Pei Tingsongâs hand with his index finger (this slow-mo gif is so yearning). Thank you Star Chart, thank you K, Iâve never done such a real CP before, Iâm falling straight into the pit, going immediately deaf now!]
[@The Fine Jeweled Xeriscape around the Pinot Tree Supreme: In fact, they just have a very deep working relationship.]
[@Today I am also a deaf girl: Um, thatâs all just stage design, stagecraft.]
[@Canât cure deafness: Itâs just choreography. If you ask, itâs Teacher Yuanâs fault! (Sorry, Teacher Yuan)]
[@Shipping TingJue is shipping Bros: The lyrics are actually just Pinot Tree Supremeâs usual storm, donât take it seriouslyâŠ]
[@SSSStkl: This comment hahahahahaha, are all TingJue girls so timid?]
[@TingJue is fake: The most bewitching thing about this group is that each pairing looks very real, but they are all just doing fanservice. We all know it very well, and if you ask, itâs all showing love and respect as good brothers should.]
[@Didnât get to eat red bean slushie today either: P6, that photo, Fang Juexiaâs eyes really areâŠ.ordinary male friends donât look at each other like that ba, that look is too affectionate.]
[@Has your TingJue recovered replying to @Didnât get to eat red bean slushie today either: No, no, no, our Juexia Gege even looks at dogs like this. Besides, the venue is so dark so heâs actually blind (not)]
TingJue girls on Weibo gingerly shipped them while making sure to hold the closet door closed. On Kaleidoâs side, they had already started their livestream a long time ago. After all, this December 25 marked their third anniversary since their debut.
As soon as the six of them finished with the BMA event, they went to Cheng Qiangâs new home, but instead of being forced to work, they ordered a lot of midnight snacks, sat on the floor, since Cheng Qiangâs home was so brand new that he didnât even have a sofa, and started the livestream. Although it was very sudden, as soon as the livestream started, the screen froze.
âThis is too laggy.â Ling Yi was so frantic that his legs were vibrating, and he pushed Lu Yuan to hand him the box of fried chicken wings. âItâs so crowded, so why donât I have a piece of fried chicken first?â Saying this, he took out a fragrant wing from the box, and had just stuffed it into his mouth when the livestream suddenly cleared up.
Lu Yuan clapped and then pointed the camera at Ling Yi. âOkay, please enjoy the first segment of this Kaleido livestreamâBig Transformation: Chicken Bones. Friends, Ling Yi has already stuffed the chicken wing into his mouth, so letâs see how he turns it all around and spits out a whole chicken bone for usâŠâ
Without waiting for him to finish talking, Ling Yi beat and kicked at him, before seizing Lu Yuanâs phone, which was livestreaming, and handing it to Fang Juexia. Originally, he had wanted to happily watch the show, but when a cellphone suddenly drew close, Fang Juexiaâs beautiful face, bare of any makeup, appeared on the screen amidst his bandmatesâ fight.
[AHHHHHHH JUEXIA GEGE IS TOO ATTRACTIVEÂ BA!]
[My God, that bare face is really too beautiful! That little birthmark is super cute]
[Come on, screenshot! Iâm in a daze ah!]
[Mama, Iâve seen an angel wuwuwuwwuwuwuwu]
âLing Yi, donât pull him into the battlefield.â
[Ahhhhhh, thatâs Pinot Tree Supremeâs voice!]
[This sentence is too doting ba!]
[Pinot Tree Supreme is actually wearing that âMelt for youâ sweater! Itâs the same clothes he wore when he moved back to the dormitory for the first livestream! And itâs Juexia Gegeâs!]
[When TingJue girls have nommed on fluff so much and reach 200 pounds, no Pinot Tree will be innocent]
Finally, the cellphone was taken away by Pei Tingsong, and he handed it to Jiang Miao. The group leader set up a tripod and pointed the camera at the six of them. âSay hello to the fans ba.â
âWuââ Ling Yi quickly turned his head to hide from the camera and spat out the bone. âIâm good now.â
Only then did the six people perform their official opening. âHello, everyone, we are Kaleido!â
After they finished saying that, everyone started clapping away. He Ziyan looked up at the clock and said, âSpeaking of that, thereâs less than half an hour left before the anniversary of our debut.â
Jiang Miao nodded. âYes, so we will probably livestream for one and a half hours ba. Staying up too late isnât good for everyoneâs health.â
[It doesnât matter, Iâm very weak anyway!!!]
[Congratulations on winning the awards, Geges! Happy third anniversary!]
âYeah yi,â Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something. âTodayâs our third anniversary, if I had remembered earlier, I would have mentioned it during the acceptance speech.â After that, he also pointed the coke bottle at himself and made a sensational gesture. âIn fact, today is the third anniversary of our Kaleidoâs debut, and being able to get some affirmation on this special day really means so much to us.â
Pei Tingsong raised his foot to kick him, and directly kicked Lu Yuan out of view of the camera. âYou are too fake like that.â
[hahahahaha the group tyrant is online and kicking people out]
[Fake Yuanyuan has been kicked out of the groupchat hahahaha]
He Ziyan suddenly chimed in earnestly, âTime flies, three years have passed in a blink of an eye. When I remember the days Xiao Pei first arrivedâŠâ He raised his hand and compared it a bit. âHe was only this tall.â
Pei Tingsong was quite dissatisfied with the height He Ziyan was showing. âAm I a potted plant, being that short?â As soon as he finished talking, Fang Juexia didnât know what was going on, but he did turn to look at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi immediately grew frantic. âWho are you calling a potted plant?!â
[Hahahahaha!]
[I clicked on a crosstalk livestream again]
[Hahahahahaha, Teacher Fang turning his head is too sage!]
Jiang Miao hurried to comfort Ling Yi. âOur Yiyi is much taller than a potted plant.â
âThatâs right.â Ling Yi angrily took a bite of the fried chicken.
[Hahahaha What kind of good words are that, M-Dash??]
âA bit more seriously.â Jiang Miao got back to business, âFirst of all, we want to wish the Dominoes a Merry Christmas. I donât know if you guys have received any Christmas gifts.â
The barrage crazily spammed that they hadnât and wanted them to send each of them one. Jiang Miao smiled and cued Fang Juexia. âJuexia will send a gift!â
Fang Juexia was sipping almond milk with great relish when he was suddenly called on to give gifts. He almost choked and patted himself in confusion. âI⊠Whereâs my cellphone?â
Pei Tingsong didnât understand. âWhat do you want your cellphone for?â
âTo send red envelopes ya.â Fang Juexia looked completely serious.
[Hahahahaha, Juexia Gege is really too sincere ba]
[Dominoesâ black material: Asking your own familyâs Gege for money during festivities.]
Pei Tingsong was so amused by him, he started laughing. He suppressed the instinct to squeeze his cheek in front of the livestreaming camera. âSing a âWish You a Merry Christmasâ song ba.â
âThatâs right. This cellphone is Qiang Geâs backup phone, use it to send red envelopes ba.â
[Hahahahaha Qiang Ge:???]
Fang Juexua sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and very seriously sang the song âWish You a Merry Christmasâ to their fans. Ling Yi harmonized with him from the side, and although it was very short, the two singersâ singing was moving enough.
[Fairy in the Human World, Fang Juexia! Peacock of the Human world, Ling Yiyi!]
âAiya, you guys donât mention peacocks anymore, cut it out!â
[Hahahaha!]
Lu Yuan also deliberately teased him. âEveryone type the word âpeacockâ into the public channel!â He finally begged for mercy after being hammered by Ling Yiâs fans.
[My nearly cancelled K really is poor. They donât even have a decent celebration after winning at the BMA, just eating takeout on a bare floor, too pitiful, too pitiful.]
Fang Juexia saw this line in the barrage and laughed, but also explained, âThis isnât just a bare floor, this is Qiang Geâs new home. We stopped by for a housewarming party. There will be a celebration party, and itâll be at the company tomorrow, with all of us.â
[Kaleidoâs main business is doing cross talk, and their side business is moving bricks, hahaha]
[Whatâs that on Pinot Tree Supremeâs hand ah, is it a tattoo?]
âHey, theyâre asking you.â He Ziyan grabbed Pei Tingsongâs hand. âThe fans asked, âWhat is this?ââ
Pei Tingsong openly admitted, âItâs a tattoo bei, itâs new.â
[Itâs really a tattoo???]
[Itâs so special ah, whatâs its meaning?]
Fang Juexia stared at the barrage silently, some misgivings stirring in his heart. He didnât know what this guy would say.
âEnâŠâ Pei Tingsong displayed his hand to the camera, âItâs just a bite mark.â
He actually said it so straightforwardly. Fang Juexiaâs heart started beating a little faster. Clearly, he had only drunk almond milk, but his mind was being manipulated by non-existent alcohol.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Ling Yi suddenly thought of something and started bragging, wearing an expression of having received the script for this beforehand. âI know!â
Fang Juexiaâs heart immediately hung in mid-air, waiting for Ling Yiâs follow-up.
âSansan once told me that when you filmed the first Escape episode, you had told him that you were bitten by your own familyâs little master! Is that it?â
It was okay, it was okay.
âNoâŠâ Lu Yuan frowned. âWhen did Pei Tingsong get a cat?â
The atmosphere suddenly turned very awkward.
Jiang Miao, who was the first to respond, immediately started his support mode. âHe had one in his apartment before, have you forgotten?â
He Ziyan also chimed in. âRight, right, Iâve even seen it before. Itâs very beautiful, completely snow-white.â
Lu Yuan also realized what was going on now, and immediately shifted to an expression of âhaving seen the light.â âOh, right, right, I almost forgot. Xiao Pei is hiding a cat in a golden boudoir. â
[Wow, Xiao Pei is also a cat slave!]
[When is cat-owner Pinot Tree Supreme going to show a picture of the cat?!]
Seeing all these ups and downs, Fang Juexia really started sweating for himself and Pei Tingsong.
It seemed that they had to buy a cat to straighten out their lie.
Everyone ate, had fun, and very soon, changed the topic. Because it was Christmas and their anniversary, the six people decided to let the fans wish for things that they would do. It would be a triple reward for Christmas, their anniversary, and winning the award.
The fans wanted to listen to the acapella version of âHuntâ, so the six boys simply sang a bunch of songs in a row, in the acapella style. The barrage then wanted a girl group dance, and Fang Juexia knew that he couldnât avoid it, so he said, âI can promise you guys a dance, but I have to learn it first, otherwise I wonât look good when dancing it.â
[Beautiful Baby looks good dancing anything!]
[How do you have any dances you donât look good dancing?! Look at your face!]
[Juexia Gegeâs most doting fan!]
[Want to see the six people practicing a girl group dance!]
âThereâs still half an hour left,â Jiang Miao said, looking at the barrage. âWhat else do you guys want to see? Quickly say it oh, Iâm about to take a screenshot.â
Who knew that the screenshot would cut to this request:
[Miao Ge, look at me! I want to see nicknames! Fire Ge and Miao Ge in a group, Yiyi and Yuanyuan in a group, and Pinot Tree Supreme and Juexia Gege together.]
âWowâŠâ Lu Yuan was holding a French fry in his mouth. âItâs time for all our affections to be broken down.â
[This sisterâs thought process and mine are too identical ba!]
âOkay?â Jiang Miao asked everyone.
Fang Juexia hesitated a bit, but his saying ânoâ to this would seem even more strange. He didnât need to give a reason behind the nickname, and if worst came to worst, he could just make up a few words.
BesidesâŠ.
He was also a little curious about what Pei Tingsongâs nickname for him was.
It couldnât still be âJust a pretty face, and also still prettyâ ba.
âSince no one is disagreeing, letâs start ba.â As the group leader, Jiang Miao first took out his cellphone, opened up his chat with He Ziyan, and then covered up the actual contents before showing it in front of the camera, âThe nickname I gave Ziyan is actually a little flame emoticon la, isnât it very cute.â
He Ziyan also took out his cellphone. âThe nickname I gave Miao Ge isâŠâ He accidentally laughed.âHey, I think itâs a little easy to misunderstand.â
âWhat ah?â As soon as Ling Yi came to look at it, he also laughed. âHahahaha, why did you nickname him the Group Wife ah?! You pervert!â
âNo!â He Ziyan immediately argued for himself, âItâs because when I was filming outside some time ago, and then he was also filming, and he kept reminding me that I needed to put on sunscreen ah and that I needed to eat, and later, he even came to visit me on set ma. So, when I was scrolling through Weibo, I saw a fan call Three Water âGroup Wife,â and I thought it was particularly appropriate, so I nicknamed him this way.â
[Wow~~~~]
[This âwifeâ word is true, tchtchtch]
[Group wife group wife group wife]
âItâs my turn!â Ling Yi couldnât wait to show his nickname for Lu Yuan. âThe nickname I gave Lu Yuan is Round Melon.â He also explained, âBecause in the Sichuan dialect, melon means silly.â
âWhat a coincidence ah,â Lu Yuan picked up his cellphone, âWhat I gave Ling Yi was the nickname Hanhan, because in the national online context, Hanhan means a fool.â
Fang Juexia glanced at Pei Tingsong and said softly, âYou go first.â Pei Tingsong teased him deliberately, âWhat if you donât tell me when Iâm finished?â
âI wouldnât do that.â Fang Juexiaâs expression was very serious, but Pei Tingsong had already raised his hand. âRock, paper, scissors.â
[Are you two primary school students, so cute]
[This smoky purple sweater looks really good on Pei Tingsong, but it hasnât been returned to Gege for nearly a year now!]
Fang Juexia held out his hand for rock-paper-scissors, and then lost to Pei Tingsong, so he just had to resign himself to his fate. However, he couldnât find his cellphone after searching for a long time, so he could only tell everyone directly, âThe nickname I gave him is âOne Constant Truth.ââ
[Whatâs with that??]
He then explained, âIn fact, itâs a tautology in a proposition. To put it simply, itâs the proposition of eternal truth.â
[Wow, I suddenly feel itâs a little romanticâŠ]
Hearing this nickname, Pei Tingsong was surprised. After pondering it over a bit, he felt a little emotional. It was probably only Fang Juexia who could come up with a nickname like that ba.
âWhat do you mean?â Pei Tingsong lightly bumped their shoulders together.
How could he explain the true meaning directly in front of the livestream camera?
Fang Juexia hesitated for a moment before giving an official answer, âBecause you are very confident. No matter what happens, you will stick to your own ideas and live like youâre a âone constant truth.ââ
Pei Tingsong let out a meaningful âohâ; he had received Fang Juexiaâs message directed at him, and so didnât continue to ask.
Ling Yi urged, âItâs your turn now.â
âMine ah.â Pei Tingsong took out his cellphone, showed it, and then put it on the floor. âThe nickname I gave Fang Juexia was âMoonlight.ââ
[Wow, these two people are just a fresh breath of air in the crosstalking boyband]
[Moonlight wuwuwuwuwu, as in white moonlight?]
Fang Juexia didnât have to ask why to know Pei Tingsongâs meaning behind it. In a second, he thought of that night at the hotel, when Pei Tingsong had said he wanted to see the moonlight.
Almond milk trembled in his stomach, making him feel as if he had swallowed butterflies. The sweet taste was making them crazily flutter their wings.
Fang Juexiaâs fingers moved along the ground to touch Pei Tingsongâs cellphone, which he then picked up, only to type a line in the chatbox before quietly putting it next to Pei Tingsongâs hand.
This was a secret message transmitted tacitly between the two people. Pei Tingsong took hold of the phone and glanced at it as if nothing had happened.
[You asked me before what type I like, and that you could change into that.]
[I donât know what type I like, I only know that I like you.]
[Therefore, the proposition âyouâ is already always true. No matter what the component or condition is, the truth value of the statement will always be true. No matter what kind of type you are classified into, it will not change the fact that I like you.]
Ling Yi poked Pei Tingsong with his finger. âWhy did you call him Moonlight?â
âDo I even need to explain that?â He locked the screen, raised his head, and the corners of his mouth drew up.
âBecause Moonlight is the highest level of praise.â
