Chapter 5

After finishing his meal, Jiang Haofeng still had another meeting to go to, and although deep inside he was extremely against allowing Shen Shujie to meet Hu Shan but Young Master Jiang never tried to stop Shen Shujie from socialising on his own.

Thus he nonchalantly asked, “When will you two be over? Should I come to pick you up afterwards?”

“Mmm, it probably won’t be too long, but if you’re coming to pick me up, then I’ll take the taxi over there, and I’ll hang around with him for a little longer while I wait for you to finish work.”

“Then you had better drive yourself home ba.”

“…”

Just as Jiang Haofeng had mentioned, the individual Hu Shan, the word of mouth about him was far from complimentary and his personal life was a complete mess. Shen Shujie’s first movie had been shot together with Hu Shan, back then, Shen Shujie was an ‘air-dropped’ lead male actor, and the only saving grace of the movie that had flopped so badly it could not be dug out from the ground, was that it had successfully facilitated the formation of a friendship between Shen Shujie and Hu Shan.

T/N: “air-dropped’ lead male actor”

Both Hu Shan and Shen Shujie had entered the industry together, but Hu Shan had already become a part of the first rank actors. They had agreed to meet at a privately owned teahouse, and when Shen Shujie arrived, Hu Shan had not reached yet. Shen Shujie sat down for a while before he saw Hu Shan walk in—all decked out in a warrior’s costume. He had a pair of sunglasses on and a mask tightly plastered over his face, and when he caught sight of Shen Shujie he threw off his sunglasses and mask, going so far as to pose exaggeratingly, “Little Shen! It’s been so long, have I become more handsome?”

Shen Shujie sipped a mouthful of tea before smiling at him, “Every time I see you I think your handsomeness grows to a whole new level.”

“Haha how have you been recently?” Hu Shan took off his outer jacket, placing it by the side as he continued to chat with him, “I’m finally going to be able to have a break, before this I’ve been swamped to death being busy with work.”

“You mean busy handling PR right.”

“Wei-wei-wei, I thought we were friends ah!”

Hu Shan had always been a high-profile and exceptionally arbitrary sort of person, he had a little bit of a backing and superb acting skills, so regardless of how the rumours outside talked about him, he still had a great amount of fans and people within the industry that were willing to do him favours. His relationship with Shen Shujie was publicly known, so when he uploaded a picture of himself hugging Shen Shujie onto Weibo there was not too much of an uproar. Hu Shan even smiled when he saw some of the comments, explaining, “The two of us even have CP fans, isn’t that extraordinary ah? Ours is such an obvious friendship so how can they fantasize so much as to think the two of us could get in bed with each other? Not to mention the fact that I’m as straight as a steel pipe.”

Shen Shujie leaned over to take a look at the picture he had just snapped, “You’re the one who purposefully let them misunderstand.”

“Forget it ba, even if we were to face each other and roll our eyes at each other, all of those fans could easily overthink and fantasize about some sort of sad, torturous love story.”

Shen Shujie was just about to say something when his phone suddenly rang, and he answered it, “What’s up? I’m at Boss Lin’s teahouse, mmm, alright, be careful on your way here.”

After hanging up, he turned to speak to Hu Shan, “Jiang Haofeng will be coming soon.”

Hu Shan had an expression of constipation on his face, “What is he coming here for?”

“He’s probably just picking me up on his way home.”

“I thought you drove your own car here? Are you guys planning on racing each other home?”

Shen Shujie let out a pfft of laughter, “Racing cars downtown? Do you want me to appear on the headlines?”

“I had planned on inviting you out for a drink later tonight though…”

“Maybe next time ba, Jiang Haofeng doesn’t like it when I drink.”

A look of disgust covered Hu Shan’s face as he looked at Shen Shujie, “You’re really too obedient ba.”

Shen Shujie combed through his memories for a while, Jiang Haofeng had never stopped him from doing anything. Whatever he wanted to do had always been of his own free will, including drinking and socialising with others. In terms of work, apart from his first role as an ‘air-dropped’ lead male actor, Jiang Haofeng had never ‘taken care’ of him again. Drinking alcohol and socialising were part and parcel of life in the industry, and since he had chosen this occupation himself, he wanted to do the best he could with his own abilities. He actually could not hold his liquor that well, and one time he had been forced to drink so much, that he had ended up spending the night throwing up. He had felt immensely uncomfortable, and at the time, he had just gotten married to Jiang Haofeng, so he had not been too comfortable about approaching him for any help, so he just had to grit his teeth and bear with it all on his own. After Jiang Haofeng had returned and found him in a complete mess, he had cleaned Shujie and taken care of him the entire night. The next day, Haofeng had gone to work with dark circles under his eyes. This type of incident occurred numerous times back-to-back, and every single time Jiang Haofeng did not say a word. However, he did look quite unhappy about it all, and in a half-conscious daze, Shen Shujie who was plastered over Haofeng, murmured, “Do you not like the fact that I drink alcohol?”

“Mmm.”

“Honestly I don’t want to drink either, whenever I drink too much I feel terrible.”

Jiang Haofeng placed him into the bathtub and helped him shower off, “If you want to make good on your profession, then some things have to be done.”

Shen Shujie felt a little aggrieved at this, “And you’re not even trying to help me.”

“Do you want me to help you?”

Sopping wet, Shen Shujie attempted to crawl over Haofeng’s body, “I know you can help me, but I also want to try on my own, it’s just so hard.”

“If you want to do it well then you have to put in some effort, I can help you, if you just tell me something, you can have whatever role you fancy in any production.”

Shen Shujie drunkenly smiled, “I know, but I don’t think I’m that much worse than the others, if I need your help to get a mere third supporting male lead role then that’s too embarrassing.”

“True.”

Shen Shujie was rendered speechless by Haofeng’s reply.

“Although, you honestly don’t need to try so hard, if you can’t make your dreams a reality then just give up.”

“Hmm?”

“You’re already married to me, I can support you.”

Jiang Haofeng reached the teahouse in just about twenty minutes, Boss Lin was by the doorstep ready to receive him, “Master Jiang, why didn’t you inform me that you’re here for a cup of tea, that way I could have some time to better prepare the tea leaves for you.”

Jiang Haofeng and Boss Lin were old acquaintances, so without much small talk he walked straight in, “I’m here for my wife.”

Boss Lin saw how hastily he was walking inside, as he followed behind Haofeng, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face, “So easy with your terms of endearment when he isn’t around huh.”

Jiang Haofeng halted in his steps and turned to look at him, “Lin Xiansen, do you not have anything to do?”

Boss Lin seemed completely oblivious to what he was insinuating, “I don’t have anything to do right now ah, I also haven’t seen Little Shen in a really long time, let me follow you and have a look.”

“Maybe next time.”

“Why?”

“If you come along then you’ll probably chat for a long time, and I want to bring him home now.”

“It’s only just the afternoon right, what’s the rush?”

Jiang Haofeng replied, deadpan, “To enjoy our two-person world together.”

T/N: “To enjoy our two-person world”

He knocked on the door before entering the private room that Shen Shujie had booked, with Jiang Haofeng first greeting Hu Shan. Although Young Master Jiang did indulge in talking behind the backs of others, but face-to-face, seated opposite each other he was still able to maintain a very humble, respectful, stoic and generous persona, and he casually spoke a few sentences asking about Hu Shan’s recent developments. Then, Young Master Jiang pretended to turn towards the time, and looked at Shen Shujie before saying, “Shall we go home?”

Shen Shujie nodded his head, “Let me just go to the washroom for a bit, we can leave when I return.”

Soon, only Young Master Jiang and Hu Shan were left in the room by now, and instantly the atmosphere grew frigid and a little odd. Hu Shan was not one to play pretend, and he had never really liked JIang Haofeng, this person’s aura always seemed to change unnaturally fast.

Hu Shan swept his eyes over Jiang Haofeng’s expressionless face, his fingers drumming against the table before he spoke, “I’ve been friends with Shen Shujie for so long, I guess you’re not completely unaware of me right? With the way you’re watching over him so tightly, do you not trust him?”

Young Master Jiang didn’t even spare Hu Shan a glance, and he picked up a cup of tea, sipped it, “My trust in him, and my dislike towards him spending time alone with you are two completely unrelated things.”

“I have no control over who my wife befriends, nor would I get involved, but not being involved does not mean that I like them. I can respect any of his friends, but I can also fulfill my obligation and pick him up after I’ve finished work.”

“Hmph.”

When Shen Shujie came back, he noticed the odd atmosphere surrounding them, and he tried to ease the tension by letting out a smile, “Come on, let’s go now. Hu Shan, see you around next time!”

After he followed Jiang Haofeng into his car, while seated in the front passenger seat, Shen Shujie turned to look at Young Master Jiang, just as he was about to start driving. Shen Shujie blinked his eyes, the corners of his mouth showing clear signs of a smile as he asked, “Do you always call me ‘your wife’ in front of other people?”

Young Master Jiang had just placed his foot on the gas pedal and when he heard this he abruptly forced the car to a stop. He tried to readjust himself, and with a very gruff and monotonous tone he replied, “You misheard.”

Shen Shujie knew how tough-mouthed Haofeng usually was, and he leaned his head closer to where Haofeng was, suddenly pressing a kiss to the side of Haofeng’s face before quietly whispering into his ear, “Then, I should call you my hubby shouldn’t I?”

STEAM ALERT (Be warned steamy scene ahead)

Young Master Jiang successfully gave up his plan to go home, and he turned his head to kiss Shen Shujie who had been randomly licking the area around his ear. Shen Shujie wanted to wrap his arms around Haofeng’s neck but the space inside the car was too narrow. All he could do was clamber onto Jiang Haofeng from the front passenger seat, saying as he did so, “We’ve never done it inside a car before ne, shall we try it?”

Jiang Haofeng did not reply him, he merely moved his attentions from Shujie’s mouth, down onto his neck, and later on continuously licked all over Shujie’s collar bone. Shen Shujie embraced his head and lightly pushed it downwards, and as if he had just been commanded to do so, Jiang Haofeng undid the buttons of Shujie’s shirt, and stuck out his tongue as he lapped at Shen Shujie’s nipples. Then, he forcefully sucked them into his mouth and teased them repeatedly. Shen Shujie pulled his hand down to help him undo his trouser buckle, then he wiggled over to Jiang Haofeng’s ear, puffing gently as he said, “Jiang Haofeng, touch it.”

The moment Young Master Jiang heard those words, his lower body seemed to harden instinctively. He buried his head deeper down as he suckled Shen Shujie’s nipples, then he tore open Shujie’s trousers and put his hand there. Shen Shujie writhed as he did so, in slight discomfort, the moans of his voice coy as he tried to plead with Haofeng, “Don’t want trousers, take them off ah…”

Jiang Haofeng momentarily paused what his other hand was doing and quickly stripped him of his trousers. Shen Shujie relaxed and quickly wound both his legs around Haofeng’s waist, directly toying with Jiang Haofeng’s tongue as they kissed deeply. His butt did not stop nudging Jiang Haofeng’s lower body, “Mmm… Jiang Haofeng… You’re hard.”

Jiang Haofeng’s breathing grew heavy and laboured, both his hands continued to knead Shen Shujie’s pert buttocks, and the slightly unsatisfied Shen Shujie nipped the tip of Haofeng’s tongue, “Come in ah…”

There was no lube in Young Master Jiang’s car, so he placed two fingers by Shen Shujie’s mouth. By now, his eyes were bottomless pools, and his deep voice was hoarse, “Baobei, lick them wet.”

Shen Shujie stuck his tongue out and licked them once, then in one go, he swallowed both fingers all the way up to their root. Jiang Haofeng was worried that he might hit the back of Shujie’s throat so he quickly curved his fingers slightly. Shen Shujie stared directly at Haofeng as he swallowed those fingers a few times, then he pulled Haofeng’s hand towards somewhere behind him. With the lubrication of saliva, it was easier for Haofeng’s fingers to enter Shujie’s a~~hole. Jiang Haofeng continued to knead Shujie’s b~ttocks as he slowly pumped in and out of his a~~hole. Shen Shujie tightly clamped down onto Haofeng’s two fingers, playfully licking his ear as he laughingly said, “Alright-alright, it’s completely wet… Enter me ba…” As he said this, he reached down to undo Haofeng’s own pants, and the thick r~d that had been caressed for almost half a day finally sprung free. Shen Shujie lifted his ars~ into the air and nudged it again, “Mmm… I want it… Enter me and f~ck me ba…”

Jiang Haofeng placed both his hands onto Shen Shujie’s thin waist to support him, and Shen Shujie had both his hands on Young Master Jiang’s shoulders. Slowly, he lowered himself downwards, and when he finally took the entire length deep within himself, Shen Shujie let out a long moan of fulfillment, “Ahh… Lao gong… Hubby… It’s too big…”

Jiang Haofeng seemed to be overly stimulated by the sound of Shujie calling him hubby, and he vigorously thrust into Shen Shujie’s a~~hole. Shen Shujie’s bare legs bonelessly shook in the air, and after quite some time, Young Master Jiang finally ej~culated to the accompaniment of Shen Shujie’s begging moans. Shen Shujie saw how his own ej~culation had been smeared all over Young Master Jiang’s own shirt, and reddened at the sight of it. For the time being Jiang Haofeng did not intend to worry about himself, instead he pulled out a couple tissues and helped to clear away Shen Shujie’s mess, “Why are you so proactive today?”

Shen Shujie calmly allowed Haofeng to clean away the mess on his body, his eyes curving happily as he replied, “Hearing you call me your wife, it made me really happy ah.”

Young Master Jiang’s ears reddened, a rare occurrence, and he lightly coughed, “I already told you, you misheard.”
