It’s as if a switch has been delayed.
Song Jianchu’s heart beats faster, accelerating in a straight line.
His entire body seems to have become a part of his heartbeat, causing his earlobes to vibrate, his scalp to tingle, and his fingertips to throb.
Song Jianchu intentionally lowers his breathing rate and tries to take deep, long breaths.
He’s relieved that the beam of light didn’t fall on his side.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Mu Ye looks at him with lowered eyes, seeming a bit nervous, and asks in a soft voice,
“Don’t you like it?” Mu Ye’s gaze falls once again on the boy’s light pink lips, savoring the feeling from earlier, and becoming restless.
Song Jianchu’s face heats up. “No.”
“Just a little nervous earlier, didn’t perform well.”
Mu Ye’s eyes have a teasing glint, and he massages the back of his neck with his hand and pinches it. “Would the sponsor like to give it another try?”
Song Jianchu stares at Mu Ye in confusion. “?”
What more does he need to do?
Song Jianchu isn’t sure if he’s agreed or not.
He seems to have made a sound of “oh,” but also seems like he hasn’t.
By the time he’s regained some clarity, Mu Ye’s lips are on him again.
This time, it’s not just a stationary kiss.
Mu Ye lightly sucks on his lips and gently grinds his lips, slightly entangling him.
Warm fingers slide into the hair at the back of his head, pushing his head forward.
Their lips gradually become wetter. Song Jianchu tastes a hint of sweetness, like mouthwash or toothpaste.
He’s dizzy from the kiss, unable to distinguish it clearly, and his breathing becomes intermittent.
Once again, he experiences a different kind of kissing.
Song Jianchu has a strong learning ability, even his thinking is running fast in this situation.
The second time he kisses Mu Ye, his thinking is divided into three areas.
The first area is for feeling. Mu Ye’s lips are soft, just like what netizens had imagined. No, the actual experience is even beyond imagination, and this feeling is very addictive.
The second area is for analysis and learning. He tries to analyze Mu Ye’s movements and quickly finds the rhythm of the kiss. He concludes that there are two main movements, mainly sucking and grinding, with occasional licking.
The third area is for practice. Song Jianchu tries to regain his senses and give a similar response.
However, his practice is soon interrupted.
He half-opened his eyes and lightly touched Mu Ye’s lower lip. Mu Ye’s restrained breathing suddenly becomes heavy. He presses his shoulder, pushes him onto the pillow, and leans over him.
Taking advantage of his slightly open mouth, Mu Ye’s wet tongue pushes against his teeth, licking and kissing his tongue and mouth, with a taste that makes people blush.
His lover’s second performance is too good. Song Jianchu is kissed until his scalp tingles, and his thoughts are intertwined in confusion and blankness.
In a moment of clarity, Song Jianchu realized that he had given too little. He also considered himself fortunate for being Mu Ye’s first financial supporter and signing a non-competition agreement with him.
As they got more intimate, Song Jianchu began to feel oxygen-deprived due to his inability to control his breathing. He raised his hand and lightly pushed Mu Ye’s chest, feeling his fast and intense heartbeat with his palm.
Finally, Mu Ye licked the tip of his teeth and withdrew, kissing the corner of Song Jianchu’s mouth again and using his thumb to stroke his Adam’s apple to help him breathe more smoothly.
Song Jianchu took deep breaths and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Mu Ye’s forehead was a little messy, and the alluring redness at the corners of his eyes made him look very attractive.
Mu Ye smoothed out his hair and asked in a hoarse voice, “Is that enough?”
With his vision a little blurry, Song Jianchu looked up at the light and shadows on the ceiling. He breathed evenly and swallowed before trying to sound calm, “…Yes, that’s enough.”
“Okay,” Mu Ye buried his head on his shoulder.
Mu Ye lay back down and hugged him again, looking at him with a probing expression, “Do you want me to hold you while you sleep?”
The lack of oxygen and excessive heartbeat left him feeling mentally drained, and sleepiness quickly overwhelmed him. Song Jianchu silently agreed and leaned on Mu Ye’s shoulder, falling into a deep sleep.
In his hazy consciousness, he felt Mu Ye touching his lips again.
He heard Mu Ye’s soft voice with a shallow laugh, “Good night.”
The next day, Song Jianchu stood in front of the bathroom mirror for a long time with messy hair. He held his toothbrush with toothpaste on it and licked his swollen lips.
He hesitated for a few seconds about whether or not to go out for the recording. He lowered his eyes and slowly put the toothbrush in his mouth.
Mu Ye had already finished washing up and was waiting outside in his changed clothes. When Song Jianchu finished washing up and went out, Mu Ye’s gaze fell on his lips and he was a little surprised, “Did I make your lips swell?”
Song Jianchu opened the closet and quickly changed his shirt. He calmly replied, “No, I probably didn’t sleep well.”
Mu Ye looked apologetic, “I’m sorry, I’ll be more gentle tonight.”
Song Jianchu’s head got stuck in the collar of his shirt, and Mu Ye helped him pull it down with a smile, “You’re so clumsy.”
Song Jianchu: “…”
The members went to the staff canteen for breakfast together. Pei Shinian ate a bite of fried rice and looked up at Song Jianchu, “Jianchu, are you getting a fever? Why are your lips swollen?”
[“Oh really? Did Stinky Treasure sleep with someone and get kissed all night?”]
[“Hahaha, it looks like he got kissed and his lips got swollen, so cute!”]
[“Hehe, let me dream a little. Could it be that he was kissed by his roommate all night?”]
Bai Xingyu also took a look, his gaze drifted towards Mu Ye and casually said, “Looks a bit like cheilitis[mfn]Cheilitis is a medical term that refers to inflammation of the lips, usually the lower lip[/mfn].”
Pei Shinian agreed, “I’ve had cheilitis before. Don’t eat anything too salty or spicy today, or it will get worse.”
Song Jianchu took the milk that Mu Ye had inserted a straw into for him, drank it calmly, and changed the subject, asking the program team beside him, , “I heard that there will be a special guest arriving today?”
Director Cui said, “There will be two-day special guests arriving this morning, and this guest is also an outstanding graduate of Hongyu. He was in the same class as I am.”
Song Jianchu raised his eyebrows, “Same class as me?”
An idea flashed through his mind, and Song Jianchu’s face changed slightly, his eyelids twitching.
He quickly calmed down and thought to himself that it couldn’t be, that guy shouldn’t have the courage to come and record the program with him.
Pei Shinian, who was originally sleepy, suddenly became alert, “Is it a female guest?”
[“Shinian, can you have some dignity…”]
[“How many goddesses do you have anyway?”]
Mu Ye looked towards the entrance of the cafeteria, “It seems not.”
Everyone turned their heads to look.
A sunglasses-wearing man entered the cafeteria, dragging a suitcase, with a wind-like gait and a flamboyant temperament, dressed in a famous brand.
The barrage recognized the person at a glance and laughed when they saw him.
[“Hahaha, I laughed first in respect”]
[“Instantly recognized male star”]
[“Oh my god, Teacher Qin is here!!”]
[“Real teacher”]
[“Let this guy be a teacher, is the production team messing around?”]
[“Hahaha, Teacher Qin’s magnificent appearance, is he here to steal my son’s character?”]
The special guest for this episode is the famous newcomer actor Qin Fang, who has been popular in the film industry in recent years. He is twenty years old this year and is currently a sophomore in the film academy. In just two years of debut, he has already starred in three representative comedy films with high box office sales, and has won countless fans in the circle due to his personal and characteristic calm-flow comedy performance.
Netizens commented on Qin Fang:
[“Qin Fang, I would like to call him an evil stream in the entertainment industry”]
[“As a new generation of fresh meat actors, Teacher Qin is indeed different from others. He is handsome and has first-class acting skills, but for some reason, the more seriously he acts, the more I want to laugh.”]
[“A handsome guy who fits my sense of humor”]
Qin Fang walked to the table where several people were sitting, took off his sunglasses and smiled lightly, “Hello, teachers, I am the special guest for this episode. You can call me Xiao Qin.”
They are all people from the film industry. The two film emperors and Qin Fang have met a few times before.
Bai Xingyu smiled and said, “Long time no see.”
Lu Shen nodded his head.
“Good, I was wondering why you didn’t reply to my WeChat message yesterday,” Pei Shinian stood up and hooked his arm around his friend’s neck. “You’re taking my female guest’s spot.”
Qin Fang dodged him. “Don’t mess up my hairstyle.”
Pei Shinian replied, “Who are you trying to look good for?”
Qin Fang retorted, “I have fans, thank you.”
[“Qin Teacher has fans! Me!”]
Qin Fang straightened his clothes and greeted Mu Ye politely. “Teacher Mu, hello.”
Mu Ye smiled kindly and replied, “Hello, I’ve seen all of your movies. They’re very interesting.”
“You never mentioned before that you and Jianchu were classmates?” Pei Shinian hooked his arm around Qin Fang’s shoulder and exclaimed in surprise. “You’re in the same class as the leader, so you’re going to benefit from it.”
Qin Fang looked over at the person who had been eating without lifting his head since he arrived and commented, “Your lip inflammation is so severe, yet you can eat so much. The leader has a really good appetite.”
Song Jianchu raised his head with a frown. “Thanks for coming, but you’ve been fired.”
[“???”]
[“What’s going on?”]
[“What happened?”]
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the members and program staff were all stunned.
Mu Ye looked at Song Jianchu and asked with his eyes.
Qin Fang looked up and down and sneered, “It’s rare to see you after two years, and not only have you not grown taller, but your heart is still so small.”
Song Jianchu lowered his gaze and sneered, “Take out what’s in your shoe, and then talk to me.”
Qin Fang raised an eyebrow. “Sure, but you have to take off your wig first.”
[“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”]
[“What is this, primary school chickens pecking each other to death from laughter?”]
[“Their relationship is strange, weren’t these two mortal enemies back in the day?”]
[“Teacher Qin, you’ve gone too far. My son never wears a wig!”]
Song Jianchu gritted his teeth with a dark expression. “Do you want to fight?”
Qin Fang remained calm and composed. “I’m here to work.”
“What position does he have?” Song Jianchu asked the director coolly.
Director Cui replied, “Teacher Qin will serve as the acting head teacher for two days in the upcoming academic year.”
“Why is he immediately the head teacher?” Pei Shinian protested.
“Because he’s outstanding,” Qin Fang replied.
“Qin laoshi was the highest-scoring graduate of Hongyu’s entrance exam that year,” Director Cui explained.
Song Jianchu averted his gaze and sneered coldly, “The perennial second-best.”
Qin Fang smiled faintly. “Can’t compare to you, the best who never dared to take the college entrance exam.”
Pei Shinian looked at the two of them in confusion. “Did you two have a grudge when you were in school?”
Song Jianchu asked the director expressionlessly, “As the principal, can I transfer staff positions?”
“Of course, as long as the position is suitable and talent is not wasted,” Director Cui replied.
“Hear that? Can’t waste talent,” Qin Fang snorted. “Where else can you transfer me if not to the security room?”
Song Jianchu replied coldly, “This new employee is tall and has a good appearance. It’s perfect for him to guard the gate.”
Qin Fang remained silent.
[“Hahaha!”]
[“That’s hilarious. I really love the mortal enemies storyline.”]
[“Song Jianchu is ruthless.”]
[“Song Jianchu is someone who won’t let go of even a penny.”]
Bai Xingyu spoke up for the younger generation. “Principal, both of you are outstanding graduates. It’s a bit of a waste to have Teacher Qin guard the gate.”
Pei Shinian also spoke up for his friend. “Qin Fang is also a Hongyu graduate. He will definitely be able to help out. It’s such a waste to have him guard the gate.”
Pei Shinian temporarily put aside his competitive heart and turned to Mu Ye for help. He hoped his older brother would speak up for his friend. “Brother, what do you think?”
Mu Ye had been peeling oranges for the principal and looked up. Qin Fang and Mu Ye locked eyes for a moment.
Qin Fang didn’t want to guard the gate, and he was a little nervous. He thought to himself that Mu Ye was a senior in the industry and would surely be reasonable, and wouldn’t follow Song Jianchu’s nonsense.
Mu Ye glanced at him and smiled, “Suitable. The principal has good taste.”
Hahaha haha, of course, he has to go with his man’s logic xD
