Chapter 42
The employees, A and B, from the moving company opened the door of apartment 16 in the Xingyue Garden and looked at the furniture and interior style inside. They were puzzled and asked, “Is the homeowner a man or a woman?”
B checked the information on the form and replied, “A man.”
A’s face turned dark, and he commented, “Oh, this place is probably where he keeps his mistress…”
B: “…”
The two of them started working separately, with one organizing the books on the shelf, and the other folding clothes and bedding.
B looked at the bookshelf and sighed, “He’s still a student, and he’s already being kept…”
A opened the wardrobe and said, “Looks like he’s a male pet.”
B: “Sigh…”
Three hours later, they had loaded four large boxes onto the moving truck and called Ye Yixing.
“Mr. Ye, the first phase of organizing is completed. Regarding the large furniture for the second phase, how would you like to handle it?”
“Hold on,” Ye Yixing replied.
He turned to ask He Yanlu, who was eating cake, “What do you want to do with the furniture from Xingyue Garden?”
He Yanlu said, “Bring them here.”
Ye Yixing continued, “The sofas are bigger here, and the bed is also bigger. I plan to buy you a new bookshelf…”
He Yanlu replied, “Keep the sofa, and sell the rest.”
Ye Yixing nodded and called back, “Bring the sofa here, and the rest of the furniture can be collected at your company’s recycling price.”
“No problem. We will arrive at Cloud Peak Residence in an hour.”
After hanging up the phone, He Yanlu suddenly said, “Don’t forget Da Bai.”
Ye Yixing smiled and said, “I won’t forget; she’s my sister.”
He Yanlu tilted his head and looked at Ye Yixing, “Shall we take her to the dry cleaners?”
“Hmm… Why don’t you wash her yourself?” Ye Yixing’s hand rested on He Yanlu’s waist. “When I’m a cat, you’re the one who washes her for me…”
He Yanlu said, “There’s a difference between male and female.”
Ye Yixing chuckled.
When employees A and B arrived at Cloud Peak Residence, they rang the doorbell and were greeted by a handsome young man with shiny black hair and unique emerald green eyes…
Wait, what’s that on his neck? A dog’s collar? (=皿=)
Is this the legendary male pet?
A trembled and asked, “Is Mr. Ye here?”
Ye Yixing replied, “I am.”
A: “…”
B: “The luggage has arrived.”
He Yanlu emerged from behind Ye Yixing, blinking, “My rabbit is inside, right?”
The two employees saw the beautiful man standing behind the handsome one and felt the overpowering aura…
A queen…!
A stammered, “Rabbit?”
Ye Yixing gestured, saying, “White rabbit, a big stuffed toy.”
B nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, everything is here.”
Ye Yixing smiled and asked He Yanlu, “Now you won’t feel cold, right?”
Ever since they moved here, He Yanlu had been complaining about the cold. Ye Yixing almost wanted to put pink wallpaper on the bluesy walls!
Suddenly, He Yanlu’s expression turned sad…
Ye Yixing understood that he was attached to his previous home. How could he easily leave after so many years? This was He Yanlu’s “self-esteem”…
So, from the first time he woke up, Ye Yixing reassured him.
Since he belonged to He Yanlu, living here felt natural.
But whether he would feel conflicted in the future remained uncertain.
Well, when faced with challenges, we will handle them together! No need to worry!
Wrapping his arm around He Yanlu’s waist, Ye Yixing softly suggested, “Let’s go back and say goodbye to it.”
“Mhm…”
The two of them took a taxi back to Xingyue Garden. As they entered the apartment, it was already empty. He Yanlu walked around the rooms, touching this and feeling that.
Especially the connected bedroom and study, his favorite spaces…
He searched for the place where his notes were posted on the wall, and nervously asked, “Ye Yixing, where are my little notes?”
“The notes have been moved to our current home, all in a small box with your books. We’ll get a nice bookshelf later, and you can organize them then!” Ye Yixing said while teasingly kissing He Yanlu’s lips.
“Uh… Uh…” The two of them continued their affectionate exchange, and soon He Yanlu succumbed to Ye Yixing’s passion.
Before leaving, He Yanlu pointed at the blanket on the floor and said, “This… should also be removed!”
Ye Yixing burst into laughter, “Alright, alright, we’ll remove everything. We can even take out the toilet in the bathroom!”
He Yanlu’s cuteness made Ye Yixing unable to look away. He would often display some little tempers, little whims, or other traits that no one else knew about. Only Ye Yixing could see them, and he loved those quirks so much.
“Do you hold a grudge against that young master from the Mo family?” He Yanlu made a threatening gesture, “He deserves to die a thousand deaths!”
“I’m willing to remove all obstacles for Her Majesty the Queen,” Ye Yixing said, embracing He Yanlu’s waist respectfully.
He Yanlu got excited, “Mhm! If he dares to come cause trouble for us again, you can transform into Xiao Hei and bite him! Hmph!”
(= =) Ye Yixing’s face twitched…
He Yanlu was going off-topic again!

Since Zhiyan and Luomu confessed their love for each other in the column, the fantasy novel website had exploded!
In just two days, yaoi fans and supportive friends were flooding the comments with screams and flowers –
“[I heard there are two male authors who are gay here! I came because of their fame! I want photos!!]”
“Yo, both authors are experts, how did they end up together? We want the truth!”
“When are the two of you getting married?! We want wedding candy!”
…
Zhiyan and Luomu’s novels skyrocketed in clicks, their rankings climbing rapidly…
“Just finished reading Zhiyan’s ‘City of Moon Ink,’ Ahhh! It’s so good! I can confirm he’s the seme!”
“You should read Luomu’s work, that’s the true seme! The scene in ‘Shallow Cloud Legend’ where he captures the city is so domineering!”
“I think Luomu is the seme, and Zhiyan is the uke.”
“The truth is revealed! Luomu confessed first! Normally, it’s the seme who confesses, right?”
“But why is the uke’s ranking higher than the seme’s?”
“Everyone, let’s support Luomu’s work!”
…
Luomu’s editor was overjoyed, hahaha! Her hard work had paid off! She managed to hook that godly Zhiyan!
The gossip editor excitedly called Luomu to verify the truth!
He Yanlu and Ye Yixing decided to start attending classes together next week. At the moment, the two of them were browsing a clothing store.
“This outfit is too revealing, change it!” Ye Yixing pointed at the neckline of He Yanlu’s shirt.
He Yanlu complained, “You choose, I just want to wear something comfortable.”
“This one, change again.” Ye Yixing handed He Yanlu another white casual sweater for the change of season…
He Yanlu couldn’t resist him and went into the fitting room with a reluctant face.
Now he realized that Ye Yixing was not easy to deal with. The clothes couldn’t be too low-cut or too tight, and the T-shirts couldn’t be too transparent. Moreover, they should highlight his figure and style…
Ye Yixing was the kind of person who, when in love, wanted to declare it to the world! This behavior was not deliberate but a natural territorial instinct like that of a male animal – “This person is mine, and none of you can have him!”
However, due to both of them being men, they had to keep a low profile, so Ye Yixing could only mark He Yanlu’s attributes through his clothing…
“Tick-tock, ding-dong…” The fantasy website editor?
“Hello?”
“Luomu, Luomu!” The person on the other end was urgent.
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Is it true that you and Zhiyan are together?”
Ye Yixing laughed, glancing in the direction of the fitting room, and said, “Yes, we are together now…”
The editor was frustrated, “What? Zhiyan is with you?”
Ye Yixing said, “Yes, we are shopping together.”
“Don’t just focus on your love life! You should update more while your popularity is high! Your main pages are almost trampled to death…”
He Yanlu came out of the fitting room, his exquisite face complemented by the white wool sweater, making him look particularly elegant. Ye Yixing’s eyes lit up, this one was good!
Ignoring the editor’s cries, Ye Yixing reached out and adjusted the neckline of He Yanlu’s clothes, saying, “This one is good, it highlights your waistline beautifully.”
On the other end of the phone, the editor was stunned. Who was Luomu talking to? Zhiyan? Suddenly, another voice softly came through, “No need to change anymore, okay? I’m exhausted…”
Luomu chuckled, “Mhm, I’ll buy the same one in black, one size bigger than yours.”
“Haha, then we’ll be the black and white duo.”
“White suits you well,” Ye Yixing touched He Yanlu’s back, playfully saying, “Actually, I’m more interested in knowing when you’ll take it off…”
“Beep-beep-beep-beep-“
The editor held the phone that was accidentally hung up by Luomu, and his nose bled.
At that moment, Zhiyan’s fans were calling out on the internet with grievances –
“Don’t fall in love! Come back and update!”
“Luomu! Give back our Zhiyan!!”
…
In the evening, Ye Yixing and He Yanlu visited the long-awaited “Love Cat Restaurant.”
They used to order takeout, but today, they spontaneously decided to dine in the restaurant!
As soon as they entered, the waiters and delivery staff recognized the shining student, He Yanlu. The receptionist whispered to the owner, “The man in the light purple shirt is our star customer, Mr. He!”
The owner, a young man in his late twenties, smiled and went to greet He Yanlu, “Mr. He, I’ve long admired you. Did you not bring your beloved cat with you today?”
He Yanlu smiled but didn’t answer, glancing meaningfully at Ye Yixing.
Ye Yixing jokingly said, “Is the boss not welcoming me?”
The owner hastily explained, “We certainly welcome Mr. He’s friend! Besides, he is so handsome…”
Ye Yixing immediately asked, “Can I get a discount then?”
The owner hesitated and explained, “Our restaurant policy is that the owner must dine with their pet to enjoy a 30% discount. However…”
Just as he was about to say they could offer a small discount due to He Yanlu being a regular customer, Ye Yixing interrupted, “How about this, I am his pet.”
OTZ (=口=) The owner was thunderstruck!
The customers in the restaurant started to fantasize wildly, their eyes shining and hearts fluttering!
Customer A: “My goodness! He said he’s his pet… Really?”
Customer B: “Can’t take it anymore, I’m totally smitten! I’ve decided to come here for dinner every day!”
Customer C: “Definitely a couple! They’re gay! They’re gay!”
…
The owner’s mouth twitched, feeling awkward he said, “Haha… sir, please don’t joke around.”
“You see…” Ye Yixing wore an innocent smile, pulling open the collar of his beige checkered shirt and pointing to the silver collar around his neck, saying, “I am his pet.”
He Yanlu’s face was already blushing, he tugged Ye Yixing’s arm and whispered, “Hey, stop playing.”
Of course, Ye Yixing wasn’t doing it to save a few bucks; he just wanted to make He Yanlu happy.
The female customers around them started to chatter excitedly.
The receptionist was sensitive enough to recognize that the familiar voice on the phone ordering the food belonged to Ye Yixing!
She excitedly approached them and asked, “Are you the one who placed the order?”
Ye Yixing winked at her, displaying his playboy image, “Smart girl.”
The young owner, sensing the pink atmosphere in the restaurant, was completely helpless, “Alright, I’ll make a compromise with you today!”
“Thank you, boss. Wishing you a prosperous business!” Ye Yixing thanked him with a smile.
They ordered a bunch of dishes, and Ye Yixing looked at He Yanlu with hopeful eyes, “Master, please pay.”
Around them, another round of screams erupted…
Sitting beside him, He Yanlu sighed, “Smooth talker!”
Ye Yixing found a blind spot in their sight, quickly stole a kiss from He Yanlu’s lips.
“Are you happy now?”
“Mhm…”
