On the last day of the holiday, Jiang Ruo finally kept his promise and buttoned up Xi Yufeng's shirt for him. Facing each other, Jiang Ruo knelt on the edge of the bed, buttoning as he spoke: "I promised to do it every day, but..." Xi Yufeng, standing beside the bed, prompted: "But?" "But I've been too busy," Jiang Ruo laughed. "Unless you quit your job and follow me wherever I go." "It could be you quitting your job and staying at home." "That would really make me your hidden beauty,…- 178.8 K • Completed
- On the second day of the holiday, Jiang Ruo woke up late. Yawning as he left the guest room, he was surprised to see Xi Yufeng sitting at the dining table. "Isn't today Monday?" Jiang Ruo checked his phone, "It is Monday, aren't you going to work?" Xi Yufeng glanced at him, "Who said working means you have to go to the office?" Jiang Ruo understood - working from home. Being the boss had its perks. Just as he rolled up his sleeves to head into the kitchen, he heard Xi Yufeng say,…

- Jiang Ruo had a dream. In it, the memory scroll buried deep within his mind unrolled before him, like the opening curtain revealing story after story. First came a blurry image: a pair of white ballet shoes in a store window, a child's pudgy hand reaching through the glass in silent yearning. Next, an empty rehearsal room where he learned to stretch his shoulders, press his legs, arch his back. Sometimes he would fall with a thud, followed by a sharp intake of breath and then a foolish laugh,…

- After that day, everything seemed unchanged. Xi Yufeng still lived in his large apartment in the city center, leaving early and returning late. Jiang Ruo eventually moved some things over, including a few potted plants that needed frequent watering. They were busy with their own lives during the day, but they would have dinner together at night, then make love. Xi Yufeng was fastidious about cleanliness; he insisted on showering after sex. Every time he emerged from the shower, the person who had just…

- The penultimate dish was miso soup, which Jiang Ruo didn't particularly enjoy drinking, so he picked out the fish slices and radish from it before setting down his chopsticks. At this moment, Xi Yufeng received a call. It was unclear who it was from, but it didn't seem to be work-related. In the end, Xi Yufeng said, "Then let him come," and hung up the phone. On the way back, Jiang Ruo continued to make conversation, asking Xi Yufeng how many photos he had saved. Xi Yufeng half-jokingly replied that he…

- Xi Yufeng didn't yield. A simple phrase, "We'll talk about it when we get back," dragged Jiang Ruo into the car, leaving him with an unresolved desire. In front of their driver, Old Liu, he couldn't act rashly, so he had no choice but to distract himself with his phone. After playing on his phone for a while, he asked the person beside him, "How much does that bottle of wine cost?" Leaning against the seat, Xi Yufeng gave him a figure. Jiang Ruo rapidly tapped on his calculator, nodding in…

- Just a light peck, and Jiang Ruo was about to retreat, but a large hand wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer, deepening the kiss. Unlike his usual cold demeanor, Xi Yufeng seemed to shed his icy exterior during these intimate moments. Every move, every breath exuded an assertive dominance that brooked no refusal. Jiang Ruo turned into a kite held in his palm, floating aimlessly, unable to fly far, and with just a moment's distraction, he would plummet down. Unconsciously, his arms…

- That night, Xi Yufeng sent over a PDF document. Upon opening it, Jiang Ruo found it was an agreement. Skimming through it, he chuckled. Wasn't it just about being kept? Why make it so serious, as if it were a billion-dollar project? To put it bluntly, it was rather ridiculous. Although upon closer inspection, most of the agreement favored Party B, which was Jiang Ruo, including guarantees of ample exposure during the term of the agreement, specifying the level and quantity of film and television…

- Jiang Ruo's smile froze for a moment before he released his grip, abandoning the last button. He turned his head to look outside, "Is this your home? I didn't get a good look yesterday; let me take a tour and broaden my horizons." As he spoke, he casually picked up Xi Yufeng's bathrobe left on the bed's edge, draped it over himself, and walked out. It was a spacious penthouse suite, estimated at two to three hundred square meters. Each bedroom came with an en-suite bathroom, and the master bedroom…

- Jiang Ruo suspected he had bad luck with Jin Garden. Others came here for pleasure, but he came for suffering. The film crew had taken a two-day break, and he had planned to use this precious time to handle the preliminary work for his lawsuit. But who knew that after finishing his meetings in the afternoon, he would end up at a drinking table again. It all started because one of the friends who was also suing the agency with him was a social butterfly. Before everyone had even gathered, she had…
