CH 23

After Shen Weixing finished giving Ye Jiuyue his medicine, he once again ordered Ye Jiuyue to close his eyes and sleep. 

Presently, the passengers in economy class were starting to board as well, so Shen Weixing quickly put on his hat, sunglasses and face mask again. Finishing that, he turned his face and looked out the window.

Because Ye Jiuyue was sitting in the seat by the window and in order to prevent Ye Jiuyue from being shone on by the sunlight outside, Shen Weixing had pulled the blind down beforehand. As such, Shen Weixing had no choice but to continue staring at Ye Jiuyue, who was sleeping.

Dai Xiaojing, who had silently been the audience for all this, got up and went back to his own original back-row seat. He didn’t have any desire to eat dog food, he just wanted to get out his phone and continue his dissing.

However, Shen Weixing didn’t give Dai Xiaojing the chance to return to the group chat and start dissing him. He got up to the back row, lowered his voice and said to Dai Xiaojing, “I’ll sit by the window seat.”

Dai Xiaojing moved to the side to let him sit, then asked, “What is it?”

“I’ll be recognized later.” Shen Weixing cautiously said. “I didn’t sleep well yesterday either, later I’ll take a nap. So I don’t want to sign autographs or take photos. You help me keep an eye out.”

As he was speaking, Shen Weixing tucked the blanket over himself and prepared to take a nap.

Dai Xiaojing hurriedly said, “Ai, wait a second, let’s chat.”

Shen Weixing was impatient. “Chat about what? We can text later.”

“How can you be so emotionless?” Dai Xiaojing lectured him, then motioned towards the front row. “Tell me, what’re you guys going to do? He doesn’t need to go to class?” 

“It’s the weekend.” Shen Weixing said.

“Oh, weekend vacation, huh? Tut.”

Shen Weixing frowned. “That’s not it. It’s Xia Qiu’s dad’s birthday, I’m attending.”

“……” Dai Xiaojing tried with difficulty to understand his thought process, and found that he just couldn’t understand it. “What kinda move is this?” Dai Xiaojing lowered his voice and scooched over to Shen Weixing to quietly ask in a whisper, “You’re bringing him to reveal your relationship or to crash the party? Even if Xia Qiu being angered to death would make me very happy, this isn’t Xia Qiu’s birthday, it’s his dad’s birthday. How about you wait until Xia Qiu’s birthday then go crash the party, it’ll be much more satisfying.”  

“What the heck are you saying?” Shen Weixing looked at him with derision. “This isn’t even the same thing, I’m just bringing him along as an aside.”

“No, Ge can’t understand you young people’s new thought processes.” Dai Xiaojing humbly tried to understand. “Why the heck are you bringing him along to attend Xia Qiu’s dad’s birthday party?” 

“Who said I’m bringing him to attend Xia Qiu’s dad’s birthday party?” Shen Weixing stared at Dai Xiaojing with the gaze you’d use to look at a crazy person. “I’m just bringing him over, then I’ll bring him to a hotel and he can do whatever he wants there.”

“……” Dai Xiaojing tried to understand his thought process with difficulty, then asked, “You can’t even stand not seeing him for two days?”

“Bullshit!” Shen Weixing hurriedly lowered his voice, then pressed down his cap, muttering quietly, “I have to first make his emotional state better, then I can bring up the thing about breaking up.”

Dai Xiaojing ：“……” 

Dai Xiaojing ：“？”

Weixing’s thought process really does zoom past at high speeds, huh. Dai Xiaojing blankly thought.

Shen Weixing thought that he was giving a lot of thought to this. “I thought about it myself and thought that I should come clean with him, this relationship can’t go on. But this kind of thing is really awkward, so I have to wait for the right atmosphere.”

Dai Xiaojing asked, feeling a little speechless, “So are you going to have a candlelit dinner with him?”

“Qts kbeiv j ygfjxeq cffv j mjcvifila vlccfg? Qtja jgf sbe atlcxlcu?” Vtfc Qflzlcu bcmf jujlc ibbxfv ja tlw erlcu atf ujhf bcf kbeiv erf ab ibbx ja j mgjhs qfgrbc.

Shen Weixing was too lazy to pay him any mind too, so he sat back, yawned and went to sleep.

The flight was very short. Ye Jiuyue felt like he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up and was told that they were already almost there.

He yawned and turned his head to look to the side. Shen Weixing had already sat back down, and was, careful to uphold his image, straightening his shirt collar and cuffs. Noticing Ye Jiuyue’s gaze, he turned his head and quietly said, “Later it’ll be the same as when we came, if we meet any fans or reporters, just say that you’re an intern assistant.”

“En.” 

“Then, later don’t always stare at me.”

“But I haven’t done that, though.”

Duh! Don’t I know that you haven’t?! I don’t even know what your eyes are normally looking at, you don’t look at the road or the path, nor do you look at people, you look at the sky! Whenever Shen Weixing spoke with him he would get hot-tempered. “Shut up.”

Ye Jiuyue: “……” 

Feels like Shen Weixing gets angry more and more easily recently, is he encountering problems in preparing for his new role?

Ye Jiuyue considerately thought, the pressure on celebs really is big, Shen Weixing’s goal is to be an award winner, it’s true that these years he’s been very steadily polishing his acting.  

Thinking about it like this, Ye Jiuyue was more and more respectful of Shen Weixing.

Filtering out how out of tune Shen Weixing was in private, Shen Weixing was actually a pretty serious, dependable person. He always worked hard to better himself and live well; he was an idol that was worth being a fan of.

—-If Ye Jiuyue could completely forget about his personality in his private life, that is. 

Ye Jiuyue, who had been wavering by the barrier to stop being a fan, thought with a headache.  

Dai Xiaojing suddenly popped out his head from the back row. “Ai, Jiuyue, let’s exchange WeChat contacts?” 

Shen Weixing looked over, expression dark. “No.”

“Didn’t ask you.” Dai Xiaojing said as he got out his phone. “I won’t be going with you guys later, I have someone coming to pick me up, so let’s hurry and make use of the time now to exchange contact info.”

Ye Jiuyue hesitantly, as well as confusedly, glanced at Shen Weixing, whose expression was dark, then slowly said to Dai Xiaojing, “Don’t turn on your phone yet, the plane hasn’t landed yet.”

Shen Weixing：“……” 

Was that the point?!

“I won’t turn it on, I won’t turn it on. I’m just getting ready, it saves time this way.” Dai Xiaojing continued to be overfamiliar. “Ah, Jiuyue, does Wei Xing usually treat you well?” 

“En?”

“Well, he’s a guy that’s cute, very cute, it’s just that he’s a tsundere, y’know? As a young’un, you definitely know what tsundere means.” Dai Xiaojing passionately promoted his ‘cloud-raised’ son. “But he’s absolutely a good person! He’s loyal and faithful! A great guy!”

“En.”

I know my idol, he’s definitely at least a good person. Ye Jiuyue hurriedly refreshed Shen Weixing’s ‘good guy card’. 

Dai Xiaojing happily said, “That’s right, that’s right.”

‘What do you mean, ‘that’s right’?! Ye Jiuyue only said one ‘en’, what could you get out of that?! Shen Weixing used the look that was used to look at crazy people x2 to look at them.

Dai Xiaojing continued, “The main point is, he’s in the showbiz circle, but he’s very strict with himself and keeps himself from immorality. He’s never taken advantage of anyone and hasn’t been taken advantage of himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t still be doing TV shows now. He doesn’t have a strong family background, this circle is still very snobbish.”

Shen Weixing said, face dark, “Shut up.”

Dai Xiaojing ignored him and continued on, “But you don’t have to worry, we dads—ah no, I mean we bros will all help him. As long as he switches over to my company, then flying to the heavens is only a matter of time!”

Shen Weixing said, “Shut up.” 

After Dai Xiaojing added a bit of wall-digging on the sly, he switched topics and continued, “Weixing’s only weakness is that he’s not too cultured. You’re a top student, but don’t think badly about him, he’s still different from being an illiterate——”

“Shen Ge is very cultured.” Ye Jiuyue, who had been silently listening all this time, suddenly spoke up. “He studies very earnestly.” 

“Huh?”

“Schooling only represents a certain degree of things to a certain extent.” Ye Jiuyue slowly said. “The most important thing is the attitude towards learning. On this matter, I respect Shen Ge. What’s more, his knowledge is very broad.” 

This wasn’t just Ye Jiuyue talking nonsense, he was just saying things as they were. Shen Weixing didn’t just think about going to bed in the apartment, a few times Ye Jiuyue woke up in the middle of the night and found that Shen Weixing was reading his script in the living room, or researching knowledge that the script touched upon. He just had to fully figure out every part that held even a bit of uncertainty; said that that was the only way to completely get the character and act them out well.

Shen Weixing looked at Ye Jiuyue, dumbstruck.

Dai Xiaojing laughed quickly and switched tracks. “That’s right, that’s right, I respect him too, Weixing’s attitude is very serious! That’s really it, it’s only that he has a bit of a weak base, you know that he went through a lot of hardships before, now that he has the chance he studies very seriously. Then, normally you can tutor him a bit. Ah no, it’s exchanging learning experiences with each other. Weixing’s better than all of us, we don’t like to study, our attitude towards learning is all improper.”

Ye Jiuyue shyly smiled, and didn’t say anything.

After departing from the airplane and separating from Shen Weixing and Ye Jiuyue, Dai Xiaojing opened his phone in a flash.

【Have we included  to play today, is  done for today yet】

Dai Xiaojing: You guys, would it be too late for me to stick and get between them? You guys, if I were to get with Ye Jiuyue, would he protect me in front of my dad? Every time my dad curses at me, my mom always helps my dad curse at me and never helps me. 

Hua Lin:  I think that you need to go see a therapist, to diagnose if you have a mother complex or if you have a love deficiency disorder.

Hua Lin: You really shouldn’t keep on acting pitiful about your childhood, no one’s more pitiable than Weixing in our group, have you ever seen him acting pitiful? I think you’re just making a fuss.

Hua Lin: And then you’re going to tell me, what just happened. 

As for Shen Weixing, he made up a lie about having to go to the bathroom, dragged Ye Jiuyue to the washroom and closed the stall door. With one hand, he cupped the back of Ye Jiuyue’s head and wrapped his other arm around Ye Jiuyue’s waist. Casting all caution to the winds, he kissed him. 

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

Ye Jiuyue：“？” 

Public sex play? Public washroom play?

He didn’t want to try that out.

And so, Ye Jiuyue gave Shen Weixing, who had so randomly gotten aroused, a push in order to subtly convey his refusal using his body language. 

He also knew that when in bed he would be pretty open and forward, but that was after all a separate independent space, and that was his personal freedom, but here in a public space this was more of an offence against public decency.

Shen Weixing very reluctantly parted from Ye Jiuyue’s lips, then darted in for one last quick peck. His mind was gradually coming back online, and his face was also a little hot. 

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! What am I doing?! Any random fan would have rebutted Dai Xiaojing like that! Why the hell am I so moved?! And it’s this fake fan!

Shen Weixing even had an ‘I want to die’ feeling.

He could only put on a poker face, in an attempt to pretend that nothing had happened, and turned around to open the door.

But it was unfortunate because just at that moment there came the sounds of someone talking and coming into the washroom, using the urinal, while chatting with his companion. 

Although Shen Weixing was fully disguised, if two people came out of one stall it would draw a lot of attention from others, so he decided to wait until the people left before exiting.  

It was inevitable that his gaze fell back to Ye Jiuyue’s face.

Ye Jiuyue was still a little dazed. Just now, that kiss was as sudden and wild as a storm. His face was a little red and his T-shirt collar was even a little crooked, revealing half a collarbone. Right now, Ye Jiuyue was staring probingly and with confusion at Shen Weixing.

Connecting gazes with such eyes, the heart that Shen Weixing had painstakingly calmed down went crazy again; it was like a swoosh of wind going by, like a small fish suddenly flipped out of the water and then nimbly fell back in, splashing numerous waves up into the air.  

He hesitantly, slowly, testingly moved his head closer. His gaze, which was sort of flickering, moved from Ye Jiuyue’s eyes to his nose and lips, then circled back a few times. In the end, he still went in for the kiss.

This kiss was much more emotional than the last.

Jie jie, you can beat me to death. Shen Weixing thought. Why can’t I be a scum guy once when I’m so handsome? Waste of a heavenly masterpiece. Scummy, I’ve got to be scummy; if I’m not scummy, I’m not a man.

The author has something to say:

Jiejie: it was Jiejie’s fault for letting you go hungry for too long, so between your body and brains, you could only pick one to grow, it’s not your fault (covers face with hand) 

Shen Weixing=a person who has technically never even had half a boyfriend, but who has already gone over innumerable drama plot changes as well as role-plays in his own head, and who has also downloaded a scum-gong side-plot for himself.
