When he went back inside, Xia Xingcheng’s head was still a complete mess, like his soul hadn’t fully returned to his body. He didn’t know what kind of appearance he gave off, but he heard Yang Youming telling him to take a shower first, so he picked up a bathrobe from the bed and walked to the bathroom.

The hot and humid steam in the bathroom hadn’t totally dissipated yet. Xia Xingcheng raised his hand to lock the door and felt his entire body calm down a little. Walking to the bathroom counter, he wiped at the fogged up mirror and saw that not only were his cheeks flushed, his lips were also bright red and slightly swollen.

He didn’t know if Chen Hailan had figured anything out, but people like Chen Hailan were experienced. What can’’t be seen through at a glance, even if he could see it, he wouldn’t let you know.

Xia Xingcheng was in a bit of a trance as he turned towards the bathtub and turned on the shower.

He didn’t bring a change of clothes. He only took a simple shower and put on a bathrobe before coming out of the bathroom. As he walked out, he saw Yang Youming and Chen Hailan chatting in the inner room. Chen Hailan sat on the edge of the bed while Yang Youming sat on a chair near the TV cabinet.

Xia Xingcheng didn’t go back in, but called out to them and said he was done with the shower, then approached the outer room’s small bed and sat down. He groped for his phone he had thrown on the bed just a moment ago, picking it up to casually look through WeChat.

Soon after, Yang Youming passed the outer room and also went to the bathroom to shower.

Xia Xingcheng turned his head to glance at the bathroom, changing his position to lie on his stomach and play with his phone on the bed, his head facing the closed bathroom door.

The sound of running water resounded.

Xia Xingcheng gently rubbed his lips with his hand and looked up at the bathroom door again. Then, his eyes fell on his phone screen and he tapped on Weibo.

He had been indulging himself in Yang Youming’s passion these past two days, and he hadn’t had a chance to go on Weibo. After opening it, he sensed that there was an inexplicable restlessness within his fanbase. He knew that it had something to do with Yang Youming. The topic of him and Yang Youming jointly attending the award ceremony two days ago hasn’t yet lost its heat, and today, somebody had posted the photos that were taken when they left the hotel together earlier this morning.

Xia Xingcheng didn’t go through the comments in detail. He knew there would be people who were jumping for joy, and others who were deliberately commenting ambiguously, while more were probably following the joking masses.

It wasn’t necessary for them to respond to any of this content. As long as they weren’t photographed intimately, these rumours would slowly fade away.

He exited Weibo and set his phone aside, burying his face in the soft blanket, thinking how nice it would be if the two of them were still in the hotel.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Xia Xingcheng raised his head all of a sudden. Chen Hailan also heard the sound and asked in a loud voice, “Who is it?”

“I’ll get the door!” Xia Xingcheng said to Chen Hailan. He propped himself up, stuffed his feet into his slippers, and hurried over to open the door.

Outside the door stood Ling Jiayue.

She wore fluffy animal-patterned pajamas. Her long black hair hung down to set off a small white face. Standing at the door with a kettle in her hand, when she saw that the person who opened the door was Xia Xingcheng, she softly said, “There’s no kettle in the room, so I brought you all some hot water.”

Xia Xingcheng reached for it and said, “Thank you.”

Ling Jiayue handed him the kettle and remained at the door without leaving. She stuck her hands into her pajama pockets and twisted uncomfortably, asking, “Would you like some milk? I’m warming some up right now.”

Xia Xingcheng smiled at her and said, “No need, thank you.”

But Ling Jiayue shot a look inside, “What about Ming ge and Lan ge? Do they want any?”

At this time, Chen Hailan walked out of the inner room, and when he saw Ling Jiayue standing at the door, he smiled and said, “Jiayue is still awake?”

Xia Xingcheng showed Chen Hailan the kettle in his hands, “Jiayue brought us hot water.”

Chen Hailan immediately thanked her, then walked to the door and stood there talking with Ling Jiayue. He didn’t invite Ling Jiayue inside either, after all, this room was full of men, so it wasn’t appropriate for a young girl to stay here at night.

Ling Jiayue and Chen Hailan chatted for a while.

There was a small liquor cabinet in the outer room. Xia Xingcheng went to place the kettle on the liquor cabinet first, then when he returned to the door, he heard the sound of a lock clicking and the bathroom door opening up.

Yang Youming walked out.

He had changed out of his turtleneck sweater and only wore a bathrobe. His clean neck and a small range of skin on his chest were exposed, and they were filled with mottled marks, especially the red scratches and bite marks that were clearly visible.

Xia Xingcheng instantly blushed. Every mark on the man had been personally and deliberately left by him, saying that those marks meant that Yang Youming belonged to him wholly.

He didn’t expect that the marks left by their intimate affair would be clearly exposed to the eyes of so many people at this instant.

Both Chen Hailan and Ling Jiayue saw it.

Chen Hailan reacted quickly, as if he hadn’t seen anything at all, and said to Yang You Ming, “Have you finished showering? Jiayue just brought us hot water.”

Yet Ling Jia Yue was in a daze as she stared at those hickeys, her line of sight never leaving them, until Yang Youming said to her, “Thank you. It’s really late, go get some rest.”

Only then did Ling Jiayue abruptly come back to her senses. She clenched her hands in front of her and slightly bowed, her hair covering half her face, expression indiscernible, and then she turned around and left.

When Ling Jiayue was gone, Chen Hailan closed the door and walked to the liquor cabinet, taking three clean glasses and pouring water into them. He said, “The air is dry, drink more water.”

The three of them sat on the sofa in the outer room, holding a glass in their hands as if they were sitting drinking together.

Chen Hailan said, “Jiayue is a good child.”

Xia Xingcheng crossed his legs, one feet stepping on a slipper. He didn’t say anything and only looked at Yang Youming.

Yang Youming simply responded with an ‘Mm’.

Chen Hailan said to him, “Today, when Jiayue wasn’t around, her grandpa told me that she’s a fan of yours, and she’s liked you from when she was small. She’s even the kind who collects all your posters.”

Yang Youming listened, slightly chuckling, and said, “The first time Xingcheng met me, he also said that I’m his idol.”

Xia Xingcheng subconsciously straightened up. He said, “Isn’t this normal?”

Chen Hailan laughed at the words, “That’s right, you’re the male god of this generation.”

“The male god of this generation?” Yang Youming softly repeated these words, then looked towards Xia Xingcheng and asked him with a smile, “Is that right, Xingcheng?”

Xia Xingcheng pursed his lips and let out a laugh soon after, “I don’t know, in any case, you’re my male god.”
