Chapter 16
Xue Wensong found having an innocent lover had both its pros and cons.
The good part was that it felt like he had entered a treasure trove that no one had ever explored before, with countless treasures waiting for him to dig them up.
However, the downside was that digging for treasure was too exhausting.
He had just put Lin Xiaolu to bed, and the little guy buried his head under the covers and refused to come out. He reached out to explore his lower body, but the little deer immediately turned into a cooked shrimp, tightly curled up, refusing to let him approach.
This kind of thing required mutual affection, and Xue Wensong couldn’t use force, so in the end, he could only go to the bathroom to take care of it himself. Unfortunately, his little brother seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant today, exceptionally stubborn, and he had to struggle for an hour before finally releasing the pent-up frustration.
When he returned to bed after showering, the culprit was already fast asleep, completely unaware of the trouble he had caused.
Xue Wensong sighed and pulled the sleeping Lin Xiaolu into his arms.
Lin Lu didn’t know if he was in love or not. He wanted to ask Xue Wensong, but he also felt that the question was too silly.
Xue Wensong should like him, otherwise why would he care for him so much?
At the very least, he shouldn’t dislike him, because Xue Wensong had said that he wasn’t forced into marriage.
Lin Lu happily ate his breakfast, but accidentally, the semi-cooked egg yolk slipped from the corner of his mouth. He instinctively stuck out his tongue to lick it, and Xue Wensong, sitting opposite him, squinted at him and said, “Lu Lu, are you sure you want to do that early in the morning?”
“Huh?” Lin Lu put down his fork, not understanding the meaning behind Xue Wensong’s words.
Suppressing the urge to bite, Xue Wensong changed the subject, “Do you have class today?”
“Um.” Lin Lu grabbed a napkin and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. “Are you still busy today?”
“I’ve been pretty busy lately, and I have a business trip this weekend, but it should ease up after that.”
Lin Lu nodded thoughtfully, seeming to realize that there was no chance for a date like on TV.
Xue Wensong noticed the subtle change in Lin Lu’s expression and asked, “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing…” Lin Lu quickly lowered his head awkwardly, but then remembered that Xue Wensong didn’t like people guessing his thoughts, so he added, somewhat sullenly, “I just… want to be with you.”
Xue Wensong’s breath hitched, and he almost lunged forward. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said in a dry voice, “Good, wait for me to finish this busy period.”
“Okay.” The little deer lowered his head, his ears turning red.
After breakfast, Xue Wensong prepared to leave for work as usual.
Lin Lu stood by his side, watching him put on his coat and change into his leather shoes. Just as he was about to open the door, Lin Lu suddenly called out, “Xue Wensong!”
“Hmm?” Xue Wensong turned around at the sound.
Lin Lu bit his lip, awkwardly saying, “Are you… just leaving like this?”
A smile appeared in Xue Wensong’s eyes, immediately understanding that Little Deer was asking for a kiss.
He deliberately said, “What else? I’m almost late.”
“Then you go…” Lin Lu wilted all of a sudden, the look of disappointment evident on his face.
Xue Wensong chuckled and hugged Lin Lu’s waist, leaning down to give him a not-too-deep kiss. Then, he said, “If you want something, just say it.”
At that moment, a thought flashed through Xue Wensong’s mind. If Lin Lu honestly said what he wanted, then he wouldn’t go to work today. No matter how much this little deer struggled, he would have him to himself.
But Lin Lu’s response was not unexpected: “I don’t want anything!”
Xue Wensong laughed, not annoyed. After all, his little one had already become clever, and it was only a matter of time.
Throughout the day, Lin Lu felt dizzy and couldn’t focus in class. Zhang Yihang, who was sitting beside him, found Lin Lu’s state a bit strange. He nudged Lin Lu with his elbow and whispered, “What’s wrong with you? Your expression is so dreamy. Did you dream of Lu Shaoyang?”
Zhang Yihang not only knew that Lin Lu acted in movies, but also knew that half of his reason for acting was to chase after idols.
“No…” Lin Lu felt a bit guilty after being asked like that, as if he was betraying his idol. After a moment’s thought, he said to Zhang Yihang, “By the way, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Lin Lu hadn’t told Zhang Yihang about his relationship with Xue Wensong before because he hadn’t accepted the inexplicable relationship himself. But now that Xue Wensong had become an unavoidable presence in his life, he felt it was time to tell Zhang Yihang.
Lin Lu was about to continue when his phone, placed on the table, suddenly lit up, interrupting the words that were already on the tip of his tongue. He casually glanced at the screen of his phone, then became excited and couldn’t take his eyes away.
Yang Li: I remember you quite like Lu Shaoyang, right? Their crew is looking for a body double, do you want to try?
Lin Lu: Body double! What kind of body double?
Yang Li: Isn’t that movie a dual male lead? The other male lead, Zhang Yuxi, has several shirtless scenes, but he doesn’t want to film them, so the crew is looking for a replacement urgently.
Lin Lu: He doesn’t want to film shirtless scenes either? Scratching head.jpg
Zhang Yuxi, he naturally knew. He was a top-tier actor in the new generation, but he hadn’t heard that Zhang Yuxi was being difficult.
Yang Li: That’s what I heard. It seems the director isn’t satisfied with Zhang Yuxi’s physique. Shrugging.jpg
Lin Lu: I see…
Lin Lu thought for a moment. He did have a similar body type to Zhang Yuxi, so maybe there was a chance. He asked again: How do I contact the director?
Yang Li: I’ll introduce you to a photographer, from AT Entertainment. I’ll have him take a set of half-body photos for you, and then you don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll contact them for you.
Lin Lu: Thank you, Sister Li!
Yang Li: By the way, does your big tiger at home know that you like Lu Shaoyang? Sly grin.jpg
Lin Lu: He knows.
But I still need to tell him.
After all, Xue Wensong is good in every way, except that he doesn’t like me acting.
Today, Xue Wensong came home earlier than usual, arriving home before 8 o’clock.
Lin Lu didn’t know if Xue Wensong had deliberately finished his work early to come home and accompany him. He blinked his big eyes, trying to please Xue Wensong, and said, “Xue Wensong, I want to discuss something with you.”
Xue Wensong sat down on the sofa, stretching his long legs. Then he reached out and pulled Lin Lu, who was following behind him, into his arms. “We can discuss things, but…”
Lin Lu listened obediently.
He smiled, “Shouldn’t you change how you address me?”
Lin Lu was puzzled. “Xue… Brother?”
“No.”
“Teacher Xue.”
“Go on.”
“Elder… Elder…”
Lin Lu really couldn’t say that word. He smirked, “I won’t discuss it with you anymore.”
Anyway, Xue Wensong was often not at home, so he could sneak out without him knowing.
“Alright, I won’t tease you.” Xue Wensong smiled and rubbed the soft hair at the back of Lin Lu’s neck. “What’s the matter?”
“Um, there’s a crew recruiting people, and I want to go for an audition.” Lin Lu looked at Xue Wensong expectantly.
“What crew?” Xue Wensong frowned slightly.
“‘Scorching’,” Lin Lu hesitated for a moment, then added, “The lead actor is Lu Shaoyang.”
“…” Xue Wensong’s expression noticeably darkened. “What role?”
“The body double for the other male lead, Zhang Yuxi.”
“Body double?” Xue Wensong was puzzled. “For what?”
“There are several shirtless scenes…” For some reason, Lin Lu suddenly felt a bit guilty.
“No.” Xue Wensong said bluntly.
“Why not?” Lin Lu showed a dissatisfied expression. “It’s not a big deal.”
“Lu Lu,” Xue Wensong patiently said, “how long have we been married?”
“…Almost two months.”
“Have I ever seen you shirtless?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Lu froze. He realized that although he often saw Xue Wensong shirtless, he had always kept himself covered.
“Then let me show you now.”
Lin Lu was about to undress when Xue Wensong impatiently held his hands back.
This little deer was so eager to get close to his idol, without any hesitation or regard for consequences.
Xue Wensong looked at Lin Lu with a headache and asked, “If I disagree, will you hate me?”
Lin Lu furrowed his brows, biting his lip, unsure how to answer.
He didn’t want to hate Xue Wensong.
Although this big tiger was domineering and often bullied him, to be honest, he was also very good to him. Despite being so busy, he still found time to read papers with him and take care of him when he was sick. Although he didn’t like him acting, he knew it was out of concern.
And most importantly, he cared about this big tiger.
If he really disagreed, then so be it…
Lin Lu pouted in distress, about to speak, when he heard Xue Wensong sigh and say, “Forget it, go ahead.”
“Really?” Lin Lu’s eyes sparkled with hope. “You’re not mad?”
“Yeah.” Xue Wensong smiled bitterly. “You like acting, what can I do?”
Lin Lu wrapped his arms around Xue Wensong’s waist, snuggling into his embrace, resting his chin on his shoulder. “You’re really nice.”
The fluffy hair occasionally brushed against his ears, and a certain round part just happened to press against his warmth. Xue Wensong sighed helplessly. “Lu Lu, I’m already this good to you, don’t torment me anymore.”
“Huh?” Lin Lu worriedly sat up, quickly realizing that he had sat on something hard.
“S-Sorry!”
Lin Lu frantically tried to get up, but Xue Wensong’s legs were longer, and he couldn’t reach the ground, so he ended up rubbing against that area several times.
“Ah…” Xue Wensong frowned, pressing down on Lin Lu’s waist. “Darling, don’t move.”
Lin Lu dared not move, holding his breath.
Xue Wensong bit his lip, his expression not very good.
He was considering whether to just toughen up and deal with this little deer.
But this little deer was so innocent, he was afraid of scaring him.
What if he really scared him and he ignored him?
Xue Wensong was conflicted, but then he heard the timid voice from his arms saying, “Um… Can I help you?”
The author’s note:
Small spoiler, being a body double is not as simple as just a few scenes of nudity XD
