Mu Ye regretted, then stood up and entered the room immediately.
Song Jianchu went to the bathroom first to take a shower. Mu Ye said, “You sleep over there.”
Is his brother giving him the bed?
Pei Shinian was warmed by this and said, “I’ll sleep on the floor, you two can sleep on the bed.”
“If I tell you to sleep, then sleep.” Mu Ye opened the wardrobe to change clothes.
Pei Shinian rushed over and hugged Mu Ye from behind. “Brother, you care about me the most.”
“Let go, stop bothering me.” Mu Ye disapprovingly lowered his arm.
Pei Shinian didn’t let go. “Since I have a girlfriend too, just let me hug you, brother’s warmth is also warm.”
Mu Ye sighed, “You’re already grown up, yet you’re hugging all the time. Isn’t it embarrassing?”
“Brother, stop pretending you’re not interested.” Pei Shinian let go of his hand and said with a smile, “If I’m chewing gum, then you’re adhesive glue.”
Mu Ye: “.”
“How long has it been since we slept together? The last time was on the mountain.” Pei Shinian ran to the bathroom door, knocked on it, and said excitedly, “Jianchu, hurry up and shower, we’ll play games later!”
Song Jianchu quickly finished showering and came out with wet hair. “You guys go ahead and shower.”
Pei Shinian sat on the edge of the bed with his phone and looked up. “I’m too lazy to play, I’ll shower in the morning. Brother, you go shower, Jianchu, hurry up and join the game, I’ll start.”
“Pull me along.” Song Jianchu picked up the phone from the bed and sat down.
Mu Ye came over with a hairdryer. “We’ll play later, first dry your hair, don’t catch a cold.”
“It’s so warm inside, it’s not that easy to get sick.” Pei Shinian was eager to play the game and said, “After playing a couple of games, my hair will naturally dry. Jianchu, quickly join the team.”
“You go ahead.” Song Jianchu put down his phone and reached for the hairdryer.
Pei Shinian sighed, “Then dry your hair quickly, I’ll start a game.”
Pei Shinian entered the game.
The muted sound of the hairdryer wasn’t loud, but the voices of the two opposite them were somewhat distracting to him as he tried to concentrate on the game.
“I’ll blow-dry your hair for you.”
“No need, I can do it myself.”
His brother’s voice was soft, tinged with some inexplicable grievance. “I’ve blown-dried your hair for you before.”
Pei Shinian missed a shot, slowly raised his head, his expression complex.
Song Jianchu looked helpless and calmly retracted his hand holding the hairdryer. “Thank you.”
Mu Ye stood happily by the bed, blowing Song Jianchu’s hair, and lifted a strand of hair, bringing it close to his nose. “It smells good. Can I use your shampoo later?”
Song Jianchu’s face remained calm, but his ears turned slightly red. “Sure.”
Mu Ye smiled with a hint of ambiguity, his eyes lingering. “You’re so good, Jianchu.”
Pei Shinian: “…”
What kind of enchantress is this?
Pei Shinian’s eyes were wide open, and he only snapped out of it when his teammates in the game cursed him for being AFK. He quickly lowered his head and continued running in the play zone.
Mu Ye finished blow-drying Song Jianchu’s hair and put down the hairdryer
Because Pei Shinian was distracted earlier, he had just finished a game. He immediately said, “Is it done? Jianchu, join the game quickly.”
Song Jianchu picked up his phone and entered the game. “Wait a minute, I need to update.”
Pei Shinian replied, “Oh, then I’ll wait for you.”
Song Jianchu finished updating the game and joined the team.
Pei Shinian finally got his teammate and happily said, “Let’s play duo for now.”
Just as they were about to start the match, his brother’s voice sounded softly, tinged with a hint of abandonment. “Can you wait for me to come out and play together?”
Pei Shinian was puzzled, “Waiting for you means we can play one game, it’s not like we’re leaving you out.”
Song Jianchu canceled the ready status and left the team. “You go solo first, I’ll wait for Mu Ye later.”
Pei Shinian: “Oh.”
Mu Ye smiled contentedly and took a few steps towards the bathroom. Feeling a bit worried, he turned back and instructed, “I’ll be out soon, wait for me and don’t start without me.”
Song Jianchu replied, “No need to rush, I’ll wait for you.”
Pei Shinian: “…”
Song Jianchu watched as Mu Ye entered the bathroom. Before Mu Ye went in, he smiled at him again, and their eyes lingered in the air for two seconds before they looked away.
Pei Shinian: “…”
Pei Shinian felt a lump in his throat and swallowed it down.
It took him a while to recover from his frozen expression.
So, what stage are these two at now? Are they really dating?
Is that it? Does his brother think that Song Jianchu doesn’t like him?
The bathroom door closed, and the sound of running water could be heard.
Pei Shinian hesitated for a moment and called out, “Jianchu.”
Song Jianchu looked at him.
Pei Shinian put down his phone and gossiped, “What’s the situation between you and my brother now? Are you together?”
Song Jianchu’s gaze shifted uneasily. “Yes.”
“?”
Pei Shinian was shocked and wanted to ask further, but Song Jianchu opened a movie on his phone and increased the volume, indicating that he didn’t want to continue discussing the topic. Pei Shinian swallowed his questions.
Pei Shinian thought to himself, if being together is like this, then what does being together actually mean??
Was he overreacting? Does he have too little experience in relationships?
Ten minutes later, Mu Ye came out of the bathroom.
Pei Shinian sat up. “Brother, come quickly, I’m falling asleep.”
Mu Ye went to the fridge and took out a box of milk, tossing it to Pei Shinian.
Pei Shinian caught it and put the straw to his mouth. “Thank you, love you, brother.”
Mu Ye handed a straw to Song Jianchu and said warmly, “Chu Chu, have some milk.”
“Thank you,” Song Jianchu replied.
Mu Ye sat next to Song Jianchu, leaning against his arm, and they drank the milk together. Mu Ye picked up his phone and entered the game, lazily resting his head on Song Jianchu’s shoulder.
“Chu Chu, revive me?” Mu Ye said.
Song Jianchu invited Mu Ye. “Sure.”
Mu Ye admired, “Your gun skins are really cool.”
“I have two,” Song Jianchu said. “I’ll give you one.”
Mu Ye turned his head and gave him a kiss, then leaned back on his shoulder. “You’re really good to me.”
Pei Shinian: “…”
Pei Shinian sat alone on the bed, unconsciously staring at the two on the adjacent bed. With the corner of the straw in his mouth slowly falling, he suddenly felt that the sweet milk in his mouth had become tasteless.
Finally, they started playing the game.
Last time, Pei Shinian had observed his brother’s green tea actions through the game.
This live version brought him great shock.
After a chaotic battle, Mu Ye nervously said, “Chu Chu, I’m losing health. Will I die?”
“No, I’ll give you a medkit.”
“What about you?”
“I have a medical pack.”
“Just give me the medkit, you keep the medical pack. You have to protect me.”
“Sure, I’ll use it if I can reach you.”
Pei Shinian watched as his health bar dropped by more than half and silently used a painkiller.
Mu Ye sniped an enemy with his rifle and proudly exclaimed, “Chu Chu, did you see that?”
“Impressive.”
“His teammate is seeking revenge.”
“Hide, I’ll be there soon.”
“Hurry,” Mu Ye complained, “Don’t stay too far from me.”
“I’m coming.”
Pei Shinian listened to the footsteps of enemies surrounding them and crouched in a corner expressionlessly.
Mu Ye spoke first, disappointedly, “You’re supposed to protect me.”
Song Jianchu said, “I’m sorry.”
Mu Ye let out a sigh and put down his phone to watch him play. “I forgive you.”
Mu Ye lowered his voice and said ambiguously, “Come and heal me. I have a lot of good stuff on me. Don’t let Xiao Pei snatch it away.”
Pei Shinian stopped in his tracks, ready to cry while licking his wounds. “…”
They heard that, thank you.
Finally, the game ended. Pei Shinian left the team with an expression that suggested he wouldn’t play anymore. “It’s fine, I don’t feel like playing. My gaming skills are off today.”
“It’s too early to sleep now,” Pei Shinian suggested, “I brought a projector. Let’s watch a movie together?”
After being fed with so much dog food just now, Pei Shinian, with a sense of revenge, decided to disrupt the atmosphere and smirked, “How about we watch a horror movie tonight?”
Pei Shinian turned off the lights and projected a highly acclaimed horror movie onto the wall.
Song Jianchu reclined a bit, feeling a bit sleepy, lazily resting against the pillow while watching the eerie opening scenes of the movie.
Mu Ye brought some snacks and threw a few bags onto Pei Shinian’s bed.
Pei Shinian put two potato chips into his mouth and noticed a delicious smell nearby. He turned his head and was about to ask them what flavor it was.
Mu Ye returned to sit next to Song Jianchu and leaned against him. He tore open the packaging of the potato chips and fed him one. “Is this flavor tasty?”
“Yeah,” Song Jianchu replied calmly.
Mu Ye leaned close to his ear and teased, “There’s only one bag left.”
Pei Shinian: “…”
Pei Shinian silently opened the packaging of his own snacks, his heart as calm as still water.
In the dark room, eerie sounds from the horror movie filled the air. The protagonist, a serial killer, appeared.
Mu Ye pulled up the blanket to cover them both and asked in a gentle voice, “Chu Chu, are you scared? Should I hold you?”
Song Jianchu continued eating his chips and replied calmly, “Okay.”
Mu Ye said, “If you’re scared, just say so.”
“Yeah.”
Pei Shinian stared straight at the projection, thinking that if he didn’t look or listen, he wouldn’t be fed with poisonous food.
The movie entered the most terrifying plot, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became eerie.
Pei Shinian got chicken skin bumps from being scared by the ghost and felt cold, so he pulled the blanket up.
The sound of a ghost’s piercing scream echoed, and Pei Shinian covered his eyes with the blanket. “Holy sh*t…”
Subconsciously, Pei Shinian tried to shift his attention to something else. His eyes turned, but his heart turned to the bed next to him.
Mu Ye buried his face in Song Jianchu’s body. “Chu Chu, can you hold me?”
Song Jianchu had one hand holding the bag of chips on the blanket. He lifted his other arm around Mu Ye’s back, pressing Mu Ye’s head against his shoulder.
“Is it over?”
“…”
“Let me know when it’s over.”
“It’s over.”
Mu Ye lifted his head, taking advantage of the situation to lean on Song Jianchu. There was a hint of fear in his eyes. “It’s really scary.”
Pei Shinian saw through the truth and remained speechless for a while. “…”
His brother was a hidden actor, huh.
The following horrifying scenes in the movie left Pei Shinian numb. He was a bit exhausted and wanted to sleep quickly, so he wouldn’t hear or see anything.
Finally, they endured until the end of the movie. Pei Shinian turned off the mini projector. “Let’s go to sleep. Brother, do you want me to help you with the blanket? Are you going to sleep on the floor?”
Mu Ye said, “Why would I sleep on the floor?”
Pei Shinian was puzzled. “Are you going to sleep with Jianchu?”
Mu Ye lay down in the blanket, turned to the side, and skillfully hugged Song Jianchu. He glanced at Pei Shinianand said, “What else?”
Song Jianchu closed his eyes, appearing very calm.
Pei Shinian fell silent for a few seconds and regretted speaking up. “Oh, I shouldn’t have asked.”
Pei Shinian regretted it a bit.
Why did he think he wouldn’t be bullied if he came here?
But he really didn’t want to sleep on the couch…
Pei Shinian lay in the cold bed, turned over to face the wall, and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible.
In the quiet room, only shallow breathing remained. Every small sound could be captured by the ears.
Pei Shinian heard some rustling sounds behind him, which led his thoughts astray and made his face blush. Although the ambiguous and unclear sounds were more exciting than the horror movie just now.
D*mn it…
Should he leave?
Mu Ye adjusted his comfortable sleeping position in the blanket and peacefully embraced the person.
He had intended to abide by their agreement and sleep peacefully while hugging him. He had endured the whole day, but suddenly, he really wanted to give his “entangled little brother” a goodnight kiss.
Mu Ye stared at Song Jianchu’s eyelashes, itching to lower his head and steal a goodnight kiss.
Song Jianchu was almost asleep. He felt the breath against his face and opened his eyes to see Mu Ye’s face getting closer.
His heart skipped a beat, so he turned his head to avoid the kiss and used his eyes to indicate that they had agreed to sleep while hugging each other.
Seeing Mu Ye’s disappointed expression, he couldn’t bear to refuse.
Song Jianchu hesitated for a moment, then quietly pressed his lips against Mu Ye’s.
Mu Ye’s breath quickened, his gaze deepened, and he couldn’t help but kiss
him back, their lips meeting in a passionate and mesmerizing kiss.
Afraid of making any sound, Song Jianchu tried to hold his breath, allowing Mu Ye to kiss his lips. He kept his mouth closed, not letting Mu Ye’s tongue enter.
Mu Ye persisted and turned in the blanket, pressing down on Song Jianchu’s shoulder. His fingers moved through his hair, carefully licking and teasing the seams and contours of his lips.
Although he was extremely nervous, some sounds still escaped from his mouth.
The person on the bed next to them remained completely silent, as if asleep, yet seemingly deliberately pretending not to hear.
Song Jianchu’s cheeks burned, his mind was dizzy, and in the dark vision, he saw the alluring and attractive features of a man, accompanied by swirling silver stars. Unable to resist Mu Ye’s coaxing, his lips parted for an instant. Mu Ye’s wet and soft tongue took the opportunity to slide into his mouth, causing a very noticeable sound of mingling saliva and making his scalp tighten.
Feeling the intense tension, Song Jianchu squinted his eyes and grabbed Mu Ye’s hair at the back of his head.
After a while, the person on the bed next to them coughed lightly.
Song Jianchu suddenly regained his senses and firmly held the back of Mu Ye’s neck.
Mu Ye reluctantly backed away, his eyes reddened, and his tongue separated from Song Jianchu’s, leaving a faint glowing line.
Mu Ye lowered his head, burying it on Song Jianchu’s shoulder, soothingly running his fingers through his hair. He kissed his ear again, adjusting his breathing.
The hearts of the two fiercely collided through their chests, and they could both distinctly feel each other’s heartbeat, with nothing hidden.
Song Jianchu’s face turned red as he stared blankly at the ceiling.
After doing something so crazy, he felt wide awake.
When their heartbeats finally calmed down a bit, Mu Ye turned over and embraced him again. Mu Ye let out a satisfied sigh and gently kissed his forehead, a gesture that carried a soothing meaning.
Feeling the weight of Mu Ye’s arm pressing against him, Song Jianchu regained a sense of security. The buzzing in his mind gradually subsided, and he fell into a deep sleep.
In a half-awake state, he faintly heard the sound of a gentle door closing.
Pei Shinian couldn’t fall asleep and stayed awake until 2 a.m. In the end, he took his pillow and blanket downstairs.
After lying on the sofa for ten minutes with no sign of sleepiness, he entered the fenced area for the dogs and played with them for a while.
Pei Shinian sat on the floor, eagerly licked by the four dogs, finally dispelling the strong feelings of loneliness and emptiness in his heart.
He felt like a fool.
The dogs were so cute, so why couldn’t he just be content with sleeping with them?
…
In the early morning, Bai Xingyu went downstairs to prepare breakfast and found someone sleeping on the sofa.
He lifted the blanket and raised an eyebrow in surprise at the person inside. “Why are you sleeping here? Shouldn’t you go to Mu Ye’s room?”
Pei Shinian struggled to open his eyes and hoarsely replied, “I didn’t want the dogs to feel lonely, so I decided to accompany them.”
Mu Ye finished his morning routine and came downstairs to find someone. He smiled and said, “Why did you come down? I thought you sleepwalked and got lost.”
Pei Shinian sat on the sofa, holding the blanket, his expression complicated.
Bai Xingyu understood something and patted Pei Shinian’s head sympathetically. “Remember for next time, come sleep in our room. Some people may look like humans, but they’re actually dogs.”
Pei Shinian covered his face, feeling a pang in his heart. “I was too naive.”
Song Jianchu finished dressing and came downstairs. He glanced at Pei Shinian and then averted his gaze guiltily. “The front desk can start a bit later today.”
Mu Ye picked up the dog leashes and asked with a smile, “Shall we walk the dogs together?”
Song Jianchu replied, “Let’s go.”
Song Jianchu followed Mu Ye into the fenced area and they both put leashes on the dogs.
Mu Ye had fully returned to his usual self, looking joyful.
Pei Shinian looked at the two of them, his gaze perplexed. “Xingyu, I have a question that I can’t figure out.”
Bai Xingyu asked, “What is it?”
Pei Shinian rubbed his chin. “You know, some people hug, kiss, and tease dogs, but they’re not in a relationship. What’s the reason behind that?”
Bai Xingyu casually replied, “People have their own thoughts, you know.”
Song Jianchu paused for a moment, feeling even more guilty, and held onto the two dogs. “Let’s go.”
It seemed like Mu Ye had heard Pei Shinian’s words. He held onto the other two dogs and smiled at him, saying, “Let’s go.”
The two of them walked away, holding the leashes of the dogs, leaving the guesthouse.
The production team started their work, bustling on the first floor. Pei Shinian shook his head in confusion and said, “Xingyu, I feel like something is off with Jianchu.”
Bai Xingyu playfully flicked his forehead. “If you have time to worry about others, you should first find your own place.”
Pei Shinian sat cross-legged, arms folded, frowning in contemplation. “He obviously has feelings for Mu Ye. Why doesn’t he officially date my brother? What’s the difference between their relationship and being in love?”
Bai Xingyu tied on an apron. “Maybe they’re considering many things.”
“It’s so strange.” Pei Shinian couldn’t understand. “They’re so affectionate, but they’re unsure about their relationship. Isn’t my brother just being strung along?”
“My brother seems to enjoy being strung along. I really don’t know what he’s thinking.” Pei Shinian paused for a moment and suddenly realized what was wrong. “Don’t you think their behavior is a bit like indulging in pleasure?”
Bai Xingyu clicked his tongue, glancing at him impatiently. “What they do has nothing to do with you. Stop dwelling on it and get up to work.”
“Oh.” Pei Shinian stood up and began tidying up the sofa.
Song Jianchu remembered that he had forgotten to bring a garbage bag for picking up the dog’s waste. He handed the leash to Mu Ye and went back to the guesthouse alone.
Just as he pushed open the door, he heard a conversation that had just been interrupted.
“By the way,” Pei Shinian whispered, but his voice was a bit loud. “Xingyu, last night was the first time I witnessed a live kiss! It was so intense… even more intense than what’s shown in comics!”
Bai Xingyu chuckled. “Are you a pervert? You were peeping.”
Pei raised an eyebrow. “Since they tease me like that, I had to see what I was missing.”
“I deliberately caused some mischief.” Pei Shinian grinned mischievously. “If they dare to tease me, I’ll scare them away.”
Bai Xingyu snorted. “You’re also a dog.”
Song Jianchu stood frozen at the doorway.
Seizing the moment before they noticed him, he held his breath and took two steps back, closing the door silently.
