Wan Tong didn’t disguise herself much, and came directly to the outside of Geng Yue’s apartment.
After Geng Yue opened the door, there were still some playful sounds inside. When Wan Tong saw the other four members of his group, she was stunned for a moment. “Should I come another day?”
Geng Yue pulled her in and closed the door. “I didn’t know they would come.”
He spoke with a somewhat resentful tone.
Wan Tong found it amusing. No wonder Geng Yue told her not to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients earlier; it turns out Jiang Yu and the others had already brought them.
Wan Tong had met the four members a few times before, but there had not been much communication. Also, they were from different companies who could be said to be enemies, so the situation was awkward.
Geng Yue had no brotherly affection at all and directly scanned the four guys sitting on the sofa. “You should leave.”
“Uh, haven’t we cooked yet?” A handsome guy with long, black hair and a somewhat artistic demeanor smiled and spoke. His eyes, when squinted, gave a sly impression.
He was the youngest in their group.
“Yeah, Third and Fourth1 are going to cook.” Jiang Yu bluntly pushed the other two guys.
Third looked relatively calm. After getting up, he leaned over to the youngest and said something in his ear before heading to the kitchen.
Fourth clicked his tongue and also stood up.
Just as Wan Tong was about to follow, Geng Yue grabbed her hand. “Let them do it.”
“Oh… then should I cut some fruit?” Wan Tong felt the atmosphere here was awkward. If she had known, she wouldn’t have come, after all, she was the only girl here, and finding a topic for conversation was difficult.
Geng Yue : “They don’t like to eat fruit.”
Jiang Yu and the youngest awkwardly put down the bananas in their hands. “Yeah, we don’t like to eat fruit.”
Wan Tong : “…” The ability to lie with open eyes is truly remarkable.
“Sister, they say online that you are a koi. If I make a wish to you, will it come true?” The youngest spoke with an innocent tone, a sincere smile on his face.
Feeling the warmth and goodwill he exuded, Wan Tong relaxed a bit. “No way, the internet clearly said I’m a jinx.”
“But I think you are a koi, Sister. Can I add you on WeChat?” Whoever can hold onto their leader is naturally their koi, their lucky charm.
“Sure.” Wan Tong was healed by his sweet smile, and her tone became light-hearted like his.
Geng Yue, on the side, remained silent, looking at the youngest with a cold gaze. The youngest pretended not to see.
Jiang Yu quietly picked up the watermelon, feeling it was time to start eating.
The youngest was indeed a walking female harvesting machine. Poor Third.
After scanning the youngest’s QR code, Jiang Yu also brought over his phone.
“Hehe, add me too.”
“…”
And so, the atmosphere began to liven up.
Wan Tong didn’t need to do anything at all. Several members of the boyband had already prepared the meal.
Third and the youngest were a couple, and even though Wan Tong pretended not to know, the affection in their eyes couldn’t be hidden!
Moreover, they were sitting across from her, so throughout the entire meal, she forced herself to keep her head down…
When they were almost done eating, Third who was sitting across from her suddenly looked at her and calmly asked, “Do you know?”
He spoke slowly, adding some weight to the pressure.
*Cough, cough, cough…* Wan Tong was caught off guard and almost choked on her rice.
Geng Yue, beside her, patted her back and handed her a glass of water. Then he looked at Third with dissatisfaction, “You scared her.”
Third : “…”. Why did this protective attitude seem so familiar?
The captain used to protect them before, and now that he had a girlfriend, he forgot about them…
“I won’t say anything.” Wan Tong almost raised her hand to swear.
The youngest smiled and looked at her as if he wasn’t worried at all, just saying one word, “Really?”
“…” Wan Tong felt that this one word were scarier than anything else.
This youngest was actually more aggressive than the seemingly serious Third.
“Do you want me to throw you all out?” Geng Yue threatened with a calm expression.
The youngest immediately backed off, acting cute towards Wan Tong because of his young age, “Sister, look at the leader, he’s too harsh. We didn’t say anything…”
Wan Tong sighed, “Hehe, let’s eat, let’s eat…”
Only Geng Yue could control these monsters.
In half an hour, the meal was finished, the bowls and chopsticks were cleaned up, and Geng Yue couldn’t control them anymore, so he chased away the four boys one by one.
The youngest wanted to stay a bit longer and act cute with Wan Tong, but he was pulled away by Third who had a dark face.
Before leaving, Jiang Yu gave Geng Yue a look that said, “Brother, I understand you,” and then sneakily ran away.
“Did they come to comfort you? You gave them a hard time. Aren’t you afraid of hurting their feelings?” Wan Tong asked Geng Yue.
Geng Yue blinked his eyes, firmly closed the door, and didn’t know how to tell her that they came to see him as a joke.
“If hurting their feelings is so easy, their hearts must have been riddled with holes long ago.”
Wan Tong was momentarily speechless.
Indeed, they were good brothers.
Thinking of the online accusations of plagiarism against him, she brought it up, “Do you know what’s going on? Who leaked your audio source?”
Geng Yue lowered his eyelashes, looked down at her, “Do you believe I didn’t plagiarize?”
Even though it had been a day since the incident, neither his company nor his studio had responded. People who usually disliked him came forward to accuse and question him, hoping to overturn all his previous efforts and achievements overnight, eager to see him fall into the dust.
But she believed in him.
His heart seemed to be surrounded by a warm current, as Geng Yue extended his arm and embraced her.
Wan Tong looked at his fragile appearance, allowing him to hold her, and even patted him lightly on the back. “Actually, many people believe in you. Look at your fans; they support you. I will help you find evidence to prove your innocence, okay?”
“How do we find it?” Geng Yue’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
He felt guilty; he seemed to have worried her.
“Of course, by exposing the mole in your company. Don’t you have any suspects? What about your former assistant, Zhong Yuheng? Have you investigated her?”
Wan Tong had already looked into Zhong Yuheng. She was indeed the one leaking the source.
But Wan Tong couldn’t find evidence on her own, so she had to rely on Shishi.
“Yeah, I investigated. The company will handle it.”
“So, it means it can prove your innocence?”
“Yeah.” Geng Yue glanced at the time; it was already nine o’clock.
Wan Tong was excited and started asking about the details.
Geng Yue lifted her horizontally, sat on the sofa, and held her tightly, not letting go. “Just like that…”
He seemed reluctant to mention Zhong Yuheng, so his voice sounded lazy, and his chin rubbed against her neck, tickling her.
Wan Tong’s attention was diverted, and she turned her head. Placing her small hand on his face, she prevented him from rubbing against her. “Why don’t you send money to me?”
“Everything I have is yours; there’s no need for unnecessary gestures.” Geng Yue took off her soft hand, tightly holding it in his palm, and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.
The kissing mania was back.
Wan Tong didn’t understand his words. “What do you mean? How did yours become mine?”
“Give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you.”
His eyes were bright, and his crimson lips formed a beautiful curve.
Wan Tong’s gaze shifted from his deep eyes to his lips, and she firmly said, “No kiss.”
“I meant on the face.” Geng Yue tilted his head and pressed his handsome face against hers.
Wan Tong’s heartbeat accelerated; she swallowed saliva and managed to restrain herself, self-assuring, “I’m really not curious at all.”
Geng Yue chuckled softly, then laid her down on the sofa. With a seductive and magnetic voice, he said, “Then I’ll do it myself.”
Wan Tong : “…” She’s unable to resist.
But before Geng Yue could succeed, Wan Tong’s phone vibrated loudly with Lin Ruoruo’s exclusive ringtone.
She pushed Geng Yue away like an ejected missile, then answered the phone. “Ruoruo, what’s wrong?”
Tonight, Lin Ruoruo had a recording for a variety show, and there was a possibility that she had to stay until late. Wan Tong felt a bit guilty for not being by her side.
“Ah, Little Agent, I knew Geng Yue couldn’t have plagiarized! Did you see it? It was all done by his former assistant! This kind of person should die a thousand times! How can they frame someone like this?”
Lin Ruoruo’s voice was uncontrollably excited, and Wa Ttong felt a bit ear-piercing, but upon hearing the meaning in her words, she hurriedly asked, “What’s going on?”
“Seriously, haven’t you seen the news online? I’ve seen it all. Where are you? Did you take leave tonight to go on a date with someone? Is it my family’s Geng Yue?”
“…No, how did Geng Yue become your family?” Wan Tong immediately found the key point in her words.
“Isn’t Geng Yue having an affair with you? Round it up, your man is now my man.”
“Stop! Geng Yue is mine, just mine!” Wan Tong corrected, but then realized something was off.
She looked up at the guy still pressing on her, suddenly feeling like her throat was being squeezed, and her cheeks flushed.
Geng Yue, lying on top of her, buried his head in her neck and smiled blissfully, as if assuring something, “Okay, I’m just yours.”
Before Wan Tong could hang up the phone, this sentence of his was faintly transmitted to Lin Ruoruo’s ears through the phone.
“D*mn, the phantom limbs are healed2. Little Agent, if you don’t push him down tonight, don’t come see me tomorrow.” Lin Ruoruo hung up after saying this.
Wan Tong felt the lingering sound in her ears, making her ears turn red.
Lin Ruoruo has always been shameless. Geng Yue must have heard what she said just now…
While Wan Tong was still dumbly holding her phone, Geng Yue’s hand reached over, took her phone, and then leaned over, asking her with a sandy voice, “What to do? Still want to meet your artist?”
The corner of Wan Tong’s mouth twitched, “Don’t mess around like Ruoruo. She always talks like that. I just said nonsense in a hurry.”
The curve of Geng Yue’s mouth converged, and he scrutinized her with black eyes, “What did you say in a hurry?”
Wan Tong vaguely felt the pressure and thought that if she dared to tell the truth, she might not be able to leave here tonight.
“Geng Yue, get up. Let’s talk. I don’t know what happened online.”
“Changing the topic?” Geng Yue’s right mouth corner lifted slightly, sounding a bit dangerous.
Wan Tong felt that this man was really difficult to deal with.
Suddenly, she reached out, cupped his face, lifted her head, and gave him a kiss on the lips.
Wan Tong just wanted to comfort him, but he wasn’t satisfied…
He didn’t take the initiative, just trapped her beneath him, looking at her with gentle and affectionate eyes, making her heart soft. She had no choice but to kiss him again.
“Is it okay now? I want to go online…” Wan Tong began to reach for her phone, breaking the beautiful atmosphere in the room.
Geng Yue also knew her temperament. In a fit of anger, he held her chin and gave her a suffocating kiss before letting her go.
Wan Tong : “…” He really is the kissing mania.

- ‘phantom limb’ is a phenomenon when someone who had gone through amputation could sense the limb that they should have lost. I couldn’t find anything about this sentence being an idiom or a slang, but I suppose this is just that while Ruoruo was joking about Wan Tong going on a date with Geng Yue, she didn’t expect that Wan Tong was really with Geng Yue, so she expressed her surprise when she heard Geng Yue’s voice. The raw is 幻肢要石更了 , please do tell me if you know the correct meaning! ↩︎
