Chapter 44: Bo Yan’s Scheme
Bai Qi took a leave of absence.
Having been tossed around for an entire night without restraint, he was so dizzy he couldn’t wake up. Bo Yan had already helped him ask for leave and stayed by the bed to massage his waist.
The veins on Bo Yan’s temples were faintly visible as he endured and looked away, massaging bit by bit.
Bai Qi was truly too tired. Although he was usually the most ticklish, he let him massage him now. His soft cheek was pressed against the pillow, and his eyes were closed as he slept soundly.
On the internet, the sudden announcement caught everyone off guard.
Although their CP was incredibly popular, they were, after all, a male-male CP. The probability of them becoming a real couple was infinitely low, especially since one of them was the consistently cold and “straight” Bo Yan.
As a result, after the initial ecstasy, some people began to feel a bit of doubt.
Could everyone have misunderstood?
Bai Qi and Bo Yan said “we are together” on Weibo and included a group photo. Although it looked super sweet, it might actually just mean they were together at that moment.
Perhaps they were just revisiting the mountain together, and it didn’t mean they were dating.
This question hovered in many people’s hearts. Everyone felt a jolt, fearing it was all a misunderstanding.
Many “solo fans” of the two were even more firm in their doubts.
[Good grief, those people are celebrating too early. They’re making a fuss before figuring things out. Just wait and see how they get slapped in the face.]
[Saying “we’re together” doesn’t necessarily mean dating. Bo Yan and Bai Qi haven’t replied to anything yet. Don’t you think it’s likely they just don’t have a signal on the mountain?]
[Exactly! The photo was also taken on the mountain. No matter how you look at it, it’s just a trip.]
This skeptical comment was upvoted to the front, nearly infuriating the CP fans who were celebrating. The two sides started a war of words over the disagreement.
Even passersby were a bit confused. One “tall building” thread after another was posted in various groups, discussing whether the two were actually dating.
Because the heat was too great, even several celebrity “smurf” accounts were unearthed, and it was incredibly lively for a while.
Director Liu was also very confused. Initially, his first reaction was that it was an official announcement, and he was thinking about posting a Weibo to congratulate them. However, seeing everyone’s doubts, he also became muddled.
As a public figure, he didn’t dare to rashly take the lead in guiding public opinion. If he guessed wrong, he would be in deep trouble. He could only do what many others were doing and quietly call the beautiful “wife” of the big financier Bo.
The call, of course, did not go through.
At this moment, Bai Qi was completely unaware of everything going on outside. He didn’t slowly open his eyes until evening.
His body was very sore and hot, and the places that were hard to mention were especially numb.
He felt as if he were being held from behind by a scorching large heater. His nape was also made super itchy by the breath being puffed onto it. A long, slender, pale hand was on his belly, slowly and agonizingly massaging it.
It had been okay when he was asleep, but now that Bai Qi was awake, he immediately felt itchy and embarrassed. He couldn’t help but struggle and twist.
Bo Yan suddenly woke up.
He seemed to still be a bit dazed. His thin eyelids were half-closed as he instinctively held the soft white body in his arms tighter, rubbing against him intimately from top to bottom, and kissing the snowy-white neck that was right in front of him.
As soon as Bo Yan did this, Bai Qi’s entire body became incredibly soft. His strength was as small as a cat’s, and he simply couldn’t get away. He was held down and bitten on the nape by Bo Yan, then had his cheek pinched as Bo Yan sought a kiss.
His body, which had become overly sensitive due to being bullied, simply couldn’t take it. Bai Qi’s face was deep red. Thinking that cooperating would make it faster, he didn’t expect Bo Yan to get more and more carried away, even starting to take off his clothes.
Bai Qi was really a bit scared this time and shook his head in embarrassment: “Let me rest for a bit.”
Only then did Bo Yan’s eyes clear a bit.
“Sorry, I was dazed from sleep just now.”
He held Bai Qi tightly in satisfaction, unable to bear letting go, and pressed his cold white, handsome face against Bai Qi’s cheek.
“Good morning.”
Bo Yan’s voice was still raspy from being satisfied, and the vibration of his chest was mysteriously face-reddening.
Bai Qi’s hair soon became a messy tuft. His hairline was very beautiful and perfectly matched his features. When his hair was brushed back, his entire face appeared even more delicate.
“Good morning to you too.”
After saying that, Bai Qi looked at the sky and was stunned again. It seemed to be almost evening.
He picked up his phone and saw 99+ missed calls. His mind went blank for a moment, and when he opened WeChat, he was overwhelmed by an explosion of messages.
Bai Qi’s scalp felt numb. After a long time, he finally straightened out his thoughts. So it was all because of that official announcement Weibo they posted.
It wasn’t what he had imagined. It wasn’t one-sided cursing or one-sided blessings; people actually didn’t believe it.
Bai Qi was embarrassed. Bo Yan had been looking forward to him personally editing the official announcement Weibo, so the method and wording of the announcement were all prepared by Bai Qi himself.
At that time, he was particularly shy because Bo Yan was staring at him, and his lips were too swollen from being kissed to take a photo. So they used an old photo, and the words weren’t that direct. He hadn’t expected it to cause such ambiguity.
Seeing that Bo Yan was also squinting at the messages, Bai Qi was filled with regret: “How about we post another one to explain?”
Bo Yan looked up and smiled, appearing not to be angry: “Okay, then let’s take a more intimate photo.”
Bai Qi happily opened the camera.
In the small phone screen, it reflected Bai Qi’s face, which clearly looked like it had been badly bullied. His eyes and brows were red, his lips were slightly swollen as if asking for a kiss, his neck was covered in hickeys, and his collar had been forcibly stretched out a lot.
This disheveled image startled Bai Qi.
Just as he was frantically trying to exit, a long, slender hand reached out from his shoulder and pressed the shutter button.
With a click, the beautiful face was frozen on the screen, along with Bo Yan’s unusually dark pupils.
“Can you send it to me?”
“Huh?”
Bai Qi dazedly sent it to him and saw Bo Yan save the photo in an album named “Qiqi.”
His heart unknowingly beat a bit faster, and Bai Qi’s eyes curved.
However, if the announcement didn’t include a photo and only had some text explanations, Bai Qi felt it wouldn’t be formal enough.
Seeing that many people in the comment section wanted them to livestream, Bai Qi thought for a bit: “How about we do a livestream tomorrow morning to explain?”
“Okay.”
Then he was hugged by Bo Yan, and a cold, austere fragrance was transmitted without reservation.
Such a cold and indifferent person said something very face-reddening: “Qiqi, I want to take a ‘mandarin duck bath.'”
The skin on Bai Qi’s nape felt numb, and his body stiffened uncomfortably.
“Then… can you not bully me?”
He thought this would make Bo Yan give up on the idea, but he unexpectedly agreed very readily. He even raised an eyebrow and smiled: “Of course, I’m not that much of a beast yet.”
Bai Qi was instantly incredibly embarrassed.
However, his mood also relaxed. His whole body felt sore and he wanted to soak for a bit anyway.
Soon, Bo Yan prepared the water. Bai Qi put on soft slippers and entered the bathroom. The bathtub was huge, more than enough to accommodate several people. As long as he was careful, he wouldn’t bump into Bo Yan.
Seeing Bai Qi enter, Bo Yan consciously turned around. His back was heroic and imposing, with black hair and cold white skin; he was the absolute image of a cold, handsome guy who didn’t eat the food of common mortals.
Such gentlemanly behavior surprised Bai Qi, and he relaxed completely. He took off his pajamas, which had been torn into a mess, and stepped in.
His white toes touched the hot water, and a pink tide spread from deep within his skin. Bai Qi’s body soon soaked in as well, his face turning pink from the steam.
He called out to Bo Yan in a soft voice: “I’m ready.”
Bo Yan still didn’t turn around. Instead, he took off his shirt with his back to Bai Qi.
His cold white back muscles were continuous and slender, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist were extremely masculine. Currently, there were several red marks on his back, looking as if they had been scratched randomly. One even went past his waistline.
The tips of Bai Qi’s ears instantly turned deep red. He immediately lowered his head and closed his eyes, yet that scene still filled his mind.
He didn’t remember when he had scratched him.
He unconsciously curled into a ball, his rounded knees emerging from the water. He pressed them together in front of him, his forehead resting on them as he didn’t dare look around.
Soon, the sound of flowing water came to his ears; Bo Yan had also entered.
However, the sound wasn’t beside him, but in front of him.
Bai Qi looked up in confusion and found that Bo Yan was actually soaking face-to-face with him.
Fearing that Bai Qi would faint from the heat, the bathtub wasn’t filled with much water. Bo Yan’s broad shoulders and chest couldn’t be soaked.
However, even for the parts that were soaked, the clear water simply couldn’t block his vision. He could vaguely see the pale, lean body and the pink, enormous object under the surface.
Bai Qi’s head instantly went boom, and he couldn’t help but start coughing softly.
He had never dared to look at Bo Yan carefully. At this moment, his mind was filled with that blood-boiling scene. His entire body grew more and more pink, and he wished he could leave right now.
However, Bo Yan was still across from him, and his gaze was even fixed on him. Bai Qi didn’t have the nerve to stand up at all. He could only hug his knees helplessly and curl up at the edge of the bathtub.
His eyes remained closed, and with the hot water enveloping him, he didn’t feel as nervous after a while.
Thinking that Bo Yan had promised not to do anything to him, Bai Qi curled up obediently, waiting for Bo Yan to finish soaking and leave first.
Hoo, it shouldn’t be too long.
Bai Qi’s back was against the bathtub wall. The gentle hot water washed over and massaged his body, making him so comfortable he was a bit sleepy. He suddenly felt that the waiting process wasn’t that difficult.
However, gradually, he heard some unusual sounds. It sounded a bit like flowing water, mixed with heavy breathing.
Hmm? Bai Qi’s curiosity rose, and he quietly opened his eyes.
The air was quiet for an instant. In the next second, his face was so red it was about to drip blood.
“You… you!”
Bai Qi was so shocked he almost bit his tongue, stammering incessantly. Yet Bo Yan’s narrow eyes were staring straight at him, without any intention of stopping. He was even faster now, like a bowstring stretched to its limit.
Bai Qi was so embarrassed he was going crazy. He hurriedly stood up from the bathtub and ran back.
His white, tender body, dripping with water, was thus exposed to the air. As he ran, his large, white, soft “peach” jiggled, tempting one into madness.
Bai Qi, however, could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly returned to the room.
It wasn’t until he closed the bathroom door that he covered his bright red face and whispered a curse about Bo Yan being a bully.
That night.
Bo Yan and Bai Qi didn’t explain anything on Weibo, and the news about the two dating became increasingly doubted online.
[It’s over, it’s over. Is it really because there’s no signal on the mountain?]
[Please, no! Usually, saying “we’re together” means dating, right? Someone as cautious as Bo Yan wouldn’t cause such ambiguity, would he?]
[Not necessarily. Maybe Bai Qi begged him to post it.]
[Everyone, don’t panic! What if the two are being intimate together right now? After all, Bo Yan looks like he’d be quite capable. It’s normal for him not to have time to check his phone.]
[Right, right! Especially since Bai Qi is so soft and beautiful. Anyone would bully him relentlessly!]
[The guesses are getting more and more outrageous. Can CP fans stop with the mental gymnastics?]
While the discussions were ongoing, all sorts of true and false information filled the screen.
Someone said they used their connections to contact Bai Qi’s roommate, and the other party said Bai Qi admitted to the relationship. Someone else said Bai Qi’s classmate personally debunked the rumor, stating that the two weren’t together and it was just a misunderstanding. Someone even said they went to that mountain to try and have a chance encounter.
For a while, there were many different opinions online, and the war of words didn’t subside at all. Due to various marketing accounts getting involved, it even showed signs of intensifying.
It wasn’t until 8:00 PM that night that Bo Yan personally posted a Weibo.
[I will be livestreaming with Bai Qi at 10:00 AM tomorrow.]
All discussions came to a screeching halt.
The trending search went viral.
