The hot pot restaurant was on another street, so they had to walk a distance to get there.

Ye Ze and Shen Ye shared an umbrella and held hands as they strolled along. Shen Ye

used a small spell to prevent rainwater from splashing onto their shoes, socks, and clothes, so they remained clean and dry.

It was already past 6 pm and the rain and fog made the night sky dark. Streetlights lit up along the sidewalk and the neon lights of various snack shops flashed non-stop.

There were many tourists like them looking for food on the street, brushing past them as they walked.

Shen Ye looked up and saw a hot and sour noodle shop in front of them. Suddenly, he really wanted to try it.

But he thought of the people waiting for him and Ye Ze at the hot pot restaurant, so he had to give up the idea.

“Sister Si and Xu Ce are already waiting at the hot pot restaurant,” Shen Ye said to Ye Ze, “If Sister Si gets angry later, you have to help me out a bit.”

In the morning, Xu Sisi and Shen Ye finished sending messages on WeChat and packed their things to come to the scenic area.

It was raining here, and Xu Ce was worried, so he set off to pick her up at noon.

Half an hour ago, the two of them had already arrived at the hot pot restaurant, but Shen Ye was busy looking for the human trafficker, delaying their time, so Xu Sisi and Xu Ce had to wait in the hot pot restaurant.

Shen Ye was a little afraid that Xu Sisi would be angry.

Not because he made her wait for half an hour, but because he intentionally took Xu Ce away. Sister Si must be holding back her anger!

Ye Ze lowered his gaze and glanced at the child’s face, gently laughing, and said, “Okay.”

Shen Ye was happy, leaned over, and kissed him on the lips. In the middle of it, he even jumped a little, like a carefree child.

The smile on Ye Ze’s lips grew deeper. He raised their interlocked hands and kissed the child’s ring finger where the ring was placed.

It was such an ordinary action, but for some reason, Shen Ye’s face turned red.

He paused and, trying to imitate the way the man acted, lifted his hand and kissed the ring on the man’s finger.

The two of them walked sticky and affectionately to the hotpot restaurant.

As expected, Xu Sisi and Xu Ce were already in the private room, and surprisingly, in addition to the two of them and Zong Yiming, Shen Shimu was also there.

When Shen Ye stared at him, Shen Shimu hurriedly explained, “I came to Haicheng this morning to look for the boss, and only found out he was here when Sister Si Si was coming, so I followed along.”

When he contacted the boss yesterday, he learned that the boss had gone to Jiangshi for tourism! Unfortunately, he had an important document that needed the boss’s signature, so he could only come here to find him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye suddenly realized that Shen Shimu must have come from the capital to Haicheng to find Ye Ze for a very important matter. And Ye Ze followed him to Jiangshi just to surprise him…

His emotions churned inside as he looked at Ye Ze for several seconds, then quickly planted a kiss on his lips.

“Uncle, sometimes I really feel like I’m a troublemaking imperial concubine.” Shen Ye felt no shame at all and even smiled like a flower.

Ye Ze pinched his tender face. “Be more confident, you are who you are.”

“Hehehe.” Shen Ye chuckled proudly.

The others had long been accustomed to their shameless displays of affection, with a “you do you, we’ll do us” expression on their faces.

Shen Ye was dissatisfied. Why weren’t they eating the dog food he was serving?

He rolled his eyes and deliberately waved the hand wearing the ring in front of everyone.

Still, no one paid him any attention.

Shen Ye: “…”

He felt wronged.

He grabbed Ye Ze and once again displayed their rings in front of everyone, announcing loudly, “Uncle proposed to me last night!”

This time, everyone finally reacted and congratulated them.

Shen Ye: “…Why do I feel like you’re not really happy for us?”

Xu Sisi glanced at him. “Just take a seat first.”

Shen Ye looked suspicious and walked over with Ye Ze to sit down.

“In fact, I had already seen your rings.” Xu Sisi said.

“?” Shen Ye turned to look at Xu Ce, “Did you send it to her?”

Xu Ce shook his head. “It wasn’t me.”

Shen Ye turned to look at Zong Yiming.

Zong Yiming: “…It wasn’t me either.”

Xu Sisi said, “Someone posted a photo of you and Mr. Ye online just now, and the rings on your hands were exposed. Now the whole internet knows you’re married.”

Shen Ye: “???”

Was it really that exciting?

He quickly opened Weibo and saw his name on the trending list.

#Shen Ye Gets Married#

This news is already at the top of the hot search list, and many netizens have rushed to join in the discussion.

Naturally, Shen Ye also came across those abusive comments.

Xu Sisi looked at him with a serious expression and said, “Now you understand why I didn’t immediately confront you when I saw you earlier, right? Let’s deal with the important matter first, and I’ll settle the score with you later.”

Shen Ye weakly responded, “…There’s no need to settle the score.”

Xu Sisi gave him a look that said, ‘Just you wait,’ and redirected the conversation back to the online comments. She frowned and said, “Even though same-sex marriage is legal now, these people are still engaging in discrimination. I wonder what kind of trolls and monsters hide behind the anonymity of the internet.”

Shen Ye wasn’t actually angry since he had been subjected to criticism before. But as he thought about Han Feng’s mother’s ordeal and Ye Ze’s plan to establish a foundation to promote same-sex marriage, he realized it might be a good opportunity.

So he held Ye Ze’s hand, interlocking their fingers and revealing the diamond ring on their ring fingers. With his other hand, he opened the camera on his phone and took a photo.

Afterward, he lowered his head and edited a Weibo post, sending out: [I’ll only let you appreciate the 5-carat diamond ring. My husband looks much better than the ring, but I won’t let you see him!] He attached the photo he had just taken.

Seeing Shen Ye flaunting his relationship amidst the storm did shake up the netizens to some extent.

—Although same-sex marriage is legal now, most same-sex couples still keep a low profile.

As soon as Shen Ye’s Weibo post was published, the onlookers flocked to it.

Most of them expressed their support:

[Master Shen, you’re so cool! Love it!]

[His husband’s hand looks really nice, slender, and elegant…]

[Master Shen did the right thing. Love and marriage are normal and nothing to hide.]

[Exactly, same-sex or different-sex, there’s no need for discrimination.]

[They are talented and good-looking. All the trolls and monsters should step aside!]

As for the fans, their comments were full of blessings. Especially the CP fans, it was like a festival—

[Sisters, let’s savor the words “my husband.”]

[Tried it, tried it! I sense a strong taste of dog food in those three words. Today is a day for lemon memes.]

[Tsk tsk, understood. Your husband can only be seen by you. Now the question is, in what position do you look at him?]

[Sisters, we’ve made it for real! I’m going to share and hold a giveaway. Let’s celebrate together!]

The fans’ comments drowned out all the abusive remarks.

And the onlookers and fans understood it very well. When Shen Ye posted that Weibo, he was telling those who discriminate against same-sex relationships that same-sex marriage is also a normal thing.

Soon, Cai Zhiwei retweeted Shen Ye’s Weibo to show his support and blessings.

Afterward, Mr. Shi and Bai Miao, the popular actor, also retweeted it, followed by more celebrities expressing their blessings. This included most of the artists from Ba Jiao Entertainment, as well as Mo Zige and Han Feng.

Shen Ye was dumbfounded. “…I guess I have a good reputation.”

Ye Ze smiled and patted his head.

Those people had been helped by the child before, so it made sense for them to come forward and speak up.

Xu Sisi scrolled through the comments and chuckled. “Not bad, these netizens are lovely.”

“What about me? Am I lovely?” Shen Ye blinked his eyes.

Xu Sisi nodded toward Ye Ze with her chin. “Ask your husband.”

Shen Ye immediately turned to Ye Ze.

The man’s lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Lovely.”

Shen Ye instantly burst into a joyful smile.

“Since I’m lovely, can we settle our accounts then?” Shen Ye pouted at Xu Sisi, trying to act cute.

Xu Sisi leisurely put down her phone. “Nope.”

Shen Ye: “…” You’re tough!

Because Ye Ze and the others couldn’t handle spicy food, and Shen Ye loved it, they ordered a hot pot with both spicy and non-spicy broths.

While waiting for the water to boil, Xu Ce retweeted Shen Ye’s Weibo: [Support Master and Madam, wishing them a hundred years of happiness!]

When this Weibo post was released, it caused a sensation comparable to the photo Shen Ye had just posted. After all, Xu Ce was a popular national actor, and he already had a large number of fans. Moreover, his previous announcement of leaving the entertainment industry had also sparked numerous hot discussions.

The first ones to rush to Xu Ce’s Weibo were his fans, and they could hardly believe their eyes:

[Master??? Madam???]

[Sisters, I have a bold guess…]

[I have one too…]

[…Does it mean what I’m thinking? Our Film Emperor has become Shen Ye’s disciple?!]

[So…our Film Emperor’s departure from the entertainment industry wasn’t due to illness, but…to become a Taoist priest?]

[To be honest, I’m a bit confused right now…]

Soon, even marketing accounts caught wind of the news and hurried over.

The news of “Shen Ye being gay” was immediately replaced by the news of “Xu Ce becoming Shen Ye’s disciple.”

Netizens were taken aback. They never expected that Xu Ce’s departure from the entertainment industry was to become a Taoist priest.

[Amazing, my Film Emperor Xu. Can we find the Film Emperor for fortune-telling in the future?]

[Come to think of it, Master Shen is so powerful. Being Master Shen’s disciple is such a great thing. Maybe we can even attain immortality.]

[Now that you mention it…I really want to be Master Shen’s disciple too!]

[Master Shen, look at me. I can serve tea, and water, and provide care…]

[You, up there, hurry up and leave. Serving tea and care can only be done by Master Shen’s husband!]

Only the artists from Ba Jiao Entertainment posted smiling emojis in a neat row under Xu Ce’s Weibo.

Leading the pack was the international actress Ning Shihua.

Netizens and fans were puzzled and asked what exactly this was all about, a form of performance art.

Ning Shihua replied to one of Xu Ce’s fans: [Huh, ask your Film Emperor.]

…Did the Film Empress Ning have a conflict with the Film Emperor Xu?

Netizens speculated one after another.

Little did they know that Ning Shihua was feeling jealous of Xu Ce.

Who wouldn’t want to be Master Shen’s disciple?

Shen Ye already knew about the incident when Xu Ce was ganged up on in the Ba Jiao Entertainment group chat. Seeing the row of smiling emojis from the Ba Jiao Entertainment artists, he didn’t hide his schadenfreude. “Looks like you’re going to get beaten up again.”

Xu Ce also laughed. “They’re just jealous that I became your disciple.”

Shen Ye glanced at him. “My disciple, you’re doing well.”

Suddenly being praised, Xu Ce felt a bit overwhelmed with delight.

Shen Ye said, “You’re really good at using the term ‘Madam.'”

Ye Ze raised his gaze slightly and looked at Xu Ce.

Xu Ce: “…” Master, you’re causing trouble for me!

Coincidentally, the water started boiling, and Shen Ye cheerfully poured the lamb rolls into the spicy broth. Since Ye Ze didn’t eat spicy food, he poured half of it into the clear broth.

Xu Sisi gave him a cold glance and warned him with her eyes, telling him not to bully Xu Ce.

“…” Shen Ye immediately turned to Ye Ze and complained, “Sister Sisi doesn’t like me anymore now that she has someone she likes.”

Upon hearing the words “someone she likes,” Xu Sisi blushed a bit and glared at him.

On the other hand, Xu Ce laughed beside them.

Ye Ze gently touched the child’s face. “I like you.”

Shen Ye was instantly healed and no longer paid attention to Xu Sisi. He focused on putting the dishes that Ye Ze liked into the clear broth. He noticed that Ye Ze enjoyed eating duck intestines, so he dipped them in the broth several times, piling up Ye Ze’s bowl.

Ye Ze held his hand and said, “Eat for yourself.”

Shen Ye happily complied and picked up the lamb rolls he liked from the spicy broth, eating them with delight.

The two of them exchanged dishes and spoke softly to each other. Meanwhile, Xu Ce was taking care of Xu Sisi and chatting with her. Only Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming were forgotten in a corner of the table.

“I’ve been gone for less than a month, and Sister Sisi has already found true love,” Shen Shimu sighed. “Being single is so difficult.”

Zong Yiming glanced at him indifferently. “If you need it, I can act as your temporary companion.”

Shen Shimu: “…”

“Five thousand yuan per hour,” Zong Yiming said.

Shen Shimu: “…Expensive.”

Zong Yiming looked at him. “Four thousand nine hundred.”

Shen Shimu: “…”

The two of them locked eyes.

Suddenly, Shen Shimu laughed, “Does that include special services?”
