Chapter 40

The moment he saw Qin Gu, Lu Bai’s heart was ringing with alarm bells. And the word “Rival” brushed across his mind non-stop.

His Xiao Qu was how many people’s white moonlight ah? Especially Qin Gu! Although the plot had now collapsed into a dismal mess, if you followed the original, the two of them should have been to the point where they were getting together now!

Thinking about this, Lu Bai’s heart was a little uncomfortable. He thought that Qin Gu had a beloved little brother already, so why did he still want to come to seduce his Xiao Qu?! Lu Bai felt for the sake of his family’s Xiao Qu, even if the other party was the male lead, he couldn’t wimp out.

So he took two steps forward, looked at Qin Gu, and coughed before saying: “Xiao Yang truly loves you. The two of you seem to be a good match. Don’t you always think that Xiao Yang is poor and miserable? Now is the time to demonstrate your charisma and reliability.” Anyway, in the original story, it’s not that Qin Gu didn’t have feelings for Xiao Yang—but compared to Xiao Yang, the main character Qin Gu preferred Qu Xueyu.

“So,” Lu Bai looked at him critically and said: “You should quit thinking about Xiao Qu.” Then, he possessively slipped his fingers through the fingers of Qu Xueyu and shook their hands in front of Qin Gu, stating: “Xiao Qu loves me, and he cannot live without me,” He insisted. “There is nothing that can change his mind”. Looking up at Qu Xueyu and winking: “Right, Xiao Qu?”

Qu Xueyu could barely contain his laughter. Raising an eyebrow, he gripped the young man’s hand in return and nodded fervently as he looked at Qin Gu, “Yes, I love Xiao Bai. I can’t live without him. So-” he paused and said, “Qin Gu, you’d better not bother us anymore.”

Lu Bai nodded even harder, “Yeah.” He then cautiously added, “Especially don’t bother Xiao Qu again.”

Qin Gu’s eyes reddened, feeling as if his heart was trapped in an unquenchable bonfire. He couldn’t resist coming here today to talk about those things that he didn’t yet understand, which wasn’t like him at all. He had been investigating the matters of that year, only to find out some clues but did not yet produce results. However, as long as he thought of that arrogant and domineering-looking teenager was actually wrongfully accused, he could no longer fall asleep.

Qin Gu laughed to himself and thought, really, he had fallen—perhaps, he had long ago fallen for this boy but had not realized it himself. If he had really hated this boy, the boy would not have been able to do these things time after time, and he would not have silently allowed the boy’s closeness over and over again.

But on what grounds did Qu Xueyu stand? Obviously, he was the first to appear, when this teenager was just a soft and cute child. When he followed him, calling him big brother every day, as they grew up together. Everyone in Jinghai knew that this teenager had a crush on him. So on what grounds, on what grounds did Qu Xueyu just barely reappear, and then turn everything upside down?

Qin Gu’s forehead veins vaguely bulged and was about to start saying something when his phone rang. After seeing the name on the screen, he unlocked the phone to check it. Reading the message, his eyes widened.

Putting his phone back into his pocket, he stared intently at the teenager in silence for a long time. Finally, after forcibly calming down, he spoke, “Xiao Bai, I have something to discuss with you. In a few days, I will come back to find you again.”

Lu Bai thought to himself, ‘It’s better if you don’t. Xiao Qu has always been wanted—especially by his official match in the original. The feeling of someone wanting his man was really unpleasant’, but on the surface, he smiled in an awkward but distant way, “Oh.” Heh, it’s a hundred times better for Qin Gu to come and warn him than to hook up with Xiao Qu in private.

The other man’s figure gradually disappeared into the golden intersection. Qu Xueyu narrowed his eyes as he watched the intersection where Qin Gu disappeared before Lu Bai fiercely spread his hands and blocked his view, saying with some viciousness. “You’re not allowed to look at him from now on!” After hesitating, he said even more righteously, “You want to chase me, right? If you chase me, you are not allowed to look at him! Moreover, you just, you just-” Lu Bai’s ears and cheeks went a little red, unable to finish.

As Qu Xueyu gleefully smiled, he reached out and pinched the teenager’s cheeks, “I just what?”

Lu Bai felt that he absolutely couldn’t chicken out at a time like this, so he went all out and casually stated. “You just said I’m the only one you love. You can’t break your word. Since you are pursuing me and you love me so much, of course, you can’t look at Qin Gu.”

Qu Xueyu chuckled quietly, “Little fool…”. As soon as the nearly-whispered words disappeared, he kissed the teenager’s lips amidst an expansive backdrop of brilliant gold. He possessively pried open the teenager’s mouth with his tongue and rampaged through. Lu Bai just wrapped his arms around the other’s neck, allowing the other to kiss him in an almost overbearing way. He was so gentle and lovable.

After the kiss, Qu Xueyu encircled Lu Bai’s waist and held the boy in his arms. With a faint smile, he stated, “Xiao Bai, I won’t look at Qin Gu, and you’re not allowed to either.”

Lu Bai was startled, his brows furrowed slightly, a simple doubt traced between his eyebrows, “Why would I look at Qin Gu?”

Qu Xueyu thought to himself, ‘Have you forgotten that every time you met with ‘Qu Xueyu’ before, you warned him to stay away from your ‘Brother Qin?’

Thinking about this, Qu Xueyu’s smile became even brighter: “You are also not allowed to call him brother anymore.”

Lu Bai: “Oh.” Anyways, it was not as if he wanted to call him his brother. Lu Bai’s eyes flashed brightly while looking at the young man, with cunning in his eyes, he asked, “Do you want me to call you brother?”

Qu Xueyu’s eyebrow jumped again but still nodded honestly.

The smile on Lu Bai’s face intensified, and he kissed the other’s chin. Meeting the youth’s eyes, he softly said, “Brother~”

This call was really too pleasing to the ear. Qu Xueyu was in a beautiful state of mind; he was about to say something, but then saw the young man smiling at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. “- go to bed?”1上床吗 上床 shàng chuáng to go to bed; (coll.) to have sex 吗 ma (question particle for “yes-no” questions) Well, he’s already nineteen years old. He should understand what he was implying. It’s unlikely he didn’t know how things work between consenting partners by now.2Just noting that I did take liberties with this sentence to have it make sense in relation to the question. It was a mess of hyperboles.

Qu Xueyu: “… ” Heh, if it wasn’t for Grandpa Lu and his grandfather being here… Even if nothing had been prepared and they couldn’t make it through the last step, he would…

The youth’s appearance was just too refreshing and sweet, Lu Bai couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Yet he still couldn’t help but continue to tease the young man, “Shall I call you my brother in bed as well?” After a pause, he remarked, “I’ve heard that this is called role-playing.”

Qu Xueyu took a deep breath, “Xiao Bai, who did you hear that from?”

Lu Bai rolled his eyes, and he dragged Lu Zhi out to block the bullet without a trace of weakness, “My second uncle.”

Qu Xueyu’s face was a little dark. He took out his cell phone and directly dialed a number; it didn’t ring for long before the call was picked up.

Lu Zhi’s voice rang out, with him exclaiming, “Yo, you’ve seen the news on the internet too? If you have time to come over, we can talk about it in person-“

Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhi was interrupted, and then he heard the young man on the other side of the phone say, “Uncle Lu, please don’t teach Xiaobai any more of those messy things. If he wants to learn about them, I should be the one to do it. Especially your sexual fetishes, there’s no need to specifically tell Xiao Bai about them.”

Lu Zhi’s jaw dropped, “Fuck! Qu Xueyu you damn! Well, say clearly what sexual fetishes Laozi has?!”

Qu Xueyu’s eyebrow arched, “Calling brother.”

Lu Zhi: “???? Qu Xueyu don’t think that I wouldn’t dare sue you for slander just because you and my nephew have gotten together!” He suddenly remembered another thing and said: “And fuck off with your ‘Uncle Lu‘! Who’s your uncle?! Did you marry my nephew?!! Uncle!!! I’m telling you, my father isn’t easy to fool–“

“Boss, you have a visitor.”

Lu Bai heard the handsome secretary’s voice from the phone which doused his uncle’s temper like a fire extinguisher, and then Lu Zhi impatiently said, “I’ve got to go”.

After ending the call, Qu Xueyu looked at the teenager.

Lu Bai then revealed, “Actually, I was lying about that. I learned all of this without a teacher, it wasn’t my second uncle who told me.”

Qu Xueyu raised an eyebrow, “Oh?”

Lu Bai: “Then, do you want to hear me call you brother in bed or not?”

Qu Xueyu was silent for a few seconds, “Yes.”

Lu Bai: “That web drama finishes production in a few days, right?”

Qu Xueyu didn’t know why the teenager had brought the topic up but still nodded his head.

Lu Bai cocked his head slightly and flashed a toothy smile, “Then you can come home soon. Our package arrived two days ago, but you have been rushing around the production set these days, leaving me all alone at home. When you return home after finishing shooting, we’ll unpack it together, okay?  Especially the big pair of boxes.”
