Shen Jingwei pursed his lips.

"Must you overreact? Did you even read my last ssage?"

"No."

"Why did you... Hey!"

Without losing another word, Yan Renzhong yanked at Shen Jingwei’s arm and pulled him into a tight embrace.

Shen Jingwei draped his arms around Yan Renzhong’s form slowly while inhaling the latter’s musky scent.

"I miss you," he whispered against Yan Renzhong’s ear, tickling him with his warm breath.

Yan Renzhong’s body relaxed, but his arms tightened around Shen Jingwei’s slender fra.

"Then will you stop giving heart attacks?"

"I am not that fragile."

"You are."

"Also, I did not put myself in any dangerous environnt."

"You did."

"... Silly Yan."

How could the costu preparation room count as a dangerous environnt...?

Their embrace loosened, and Yan Renzhong’s gaze t Shen Jingwei’s. A deep sigh filled the air as he leaned in for a kiss. It was so tender and yet passionate, brimming with the man’s deep love for him.

It was the kind of kiss they could only share in private, away from prying eyes, in their own secluded world.

Shen Jingwei did not know how long they kissed.

Their kiss seed to last forever, yet it was never long enough to make up for the ti they had spent apart.

"Say, Jingbao..."

Yan Renzhong bumped their foreheads against each other after he ended the kiss.

"Would you like to move in with ...?"

"..."

Shen Jingwei blinked in confusion.

Yan Renzhong nudged him with another peck on the lips.

"What do you say?"

"We haven’t even announced our relationship yet..."

"It doesn’t matter."

Another peck on the lips.

"What would people say if we move in together..."

"No one will know anything. The privacy of every resident in Red Jade Pavilion is guarded strictly."

"But..."

"Just say yes," Yan Renzhong kissed him again. "Trust ."

Seeing each other was difficult because they were signed with different companies and because Yan Renzhong had such a tightly-packed schedule from morning to evening.

If they lived together, they could at least see each other five minutes on regular days.

It was better than nothing at all.

When Shen Jingwei thought about it that way, how could he say no...?

Thus in response, he could only nod his head stiffly.

"That’s wonderful," Yan Renzhong pulled his lover to his arms and sighed against Shen Jingwei’s forehead. "You don’t have to do anything, Jingbao. I will handle the rest."

"Un."

"Now, strip."

"....."

Shen Jingwei pushed Yan Renzhong away with a glare.

"What, again?"

"Let take a look at your stab wound."

"It was a teeny-tiny needle stab wound!"

"It was a small sword, I get it."

"..."

First he had to strip in the Song siblings’ house, and now he had to strip in Yan Renzhong’s car.

Unfortunately, Yan Renzhong gave him no other option. Thus with reluctance, he ended up taking off his shirt and lowering his pants anyway.

"Hmm."

The wounded spot was still covered by bandages as per the doctor’s order.

"It was really just a small stab wound," Shen Jingwei insisted.

Yan Renzhong ran a hand across Shen Jingwei’s waist and gave him a pinch on the rear area.

"Ow!"

"Alright, you can put on your clothes now," Yan Renzhong said with a chuckle.

"Geez."

Shen Jingwei tidied his clothes and strapped on his seatbelt.

The car pulled away from the parking lot and zood toward his apartnt.

The sky had darkened considerably, casting the streetlights into a soft, inviting glow.

Shen Jingwei tore his gaze from the blurring view outside the window and looked at Yan Renzhong.

He was as handso as always, but there was a touch of weariness around his eyes.

At this ti, he was supposed at a shooting location still.

"Did you skip your last job today?" Shen Jingwei asked.

"No, I rely asked them to finish early."

"And you got away an hour earlier? Impressive."

Yan Renzhong chuckled.

"Two."

"..."

Truly, only Emperor Yan could achieve such a magnificent feat.

"So, other than getting stabbed, did you have a relatively uneventful week?"

"Ha, ha, ha. Yes, it was quite fun actually. I went to a BL lover gathering with Dou Dou and Shang Ruohai. I also took on so comrcial..."

The car skidded to a halt, jolting Shen Jingwei in his seat.

He gave Yan Renzhong a bewildered look. The man, in return, gave him an aghast stare.

"... What?"

"How co?"

"Hey, it’s not my idea. It was Dou Dou’s. She and her online fellow BL lovers organized an offline gathering and we simply tagged along."

"How does ’we’ co to be? Since when do you and Shang Ruohai hang out on a regular basis?"

"We do not," Shen Jingwei denied. "He ca to my house to tell that he fired the specialist who stabbed . Coincidentally, Dou Dou was there. Dou Dou invited him to co with us."

"... Oh."

Having been textpals with Shen Dou Dou for the past three years, Yan Renzhong knew enough about her antics.

The car started moving again.

"How did she end up stabbing you, anyway? I have been standing in costu fitting sessions for so many hours in the past five years and I had never gotten stabbed even once."

"Well, she was distracted by Wu Jin..."

The car stopped again.

"Wu Jin???"

Shen Jingwei pressed a hand against his eyes and groaned.

"Why don’t we go to my house first? Then I will tell you everything you need to know."

Yan Renzhong relented, and the car moved again.

This ti, they opted to talk about Yan Renzhong’s latest jobs instead.

As soon as they arrived at Shen Jingwei’s apartnt, the inquisition began. Yan Renzhong drilled him for over an hour. Thankfully, he was magnanimous enough to allow Shen Jingwei to eat sothing during the process. Otherwise, he was going to starve for sure.

Yan Renzhong, who was unable to spend the night, left soti before midnight.

After yawning repeatedly, Shen Jingwei went to bed.

The next morning, he woke up to Zhu Dongyi, who ca to pick him up for a voice recording session at CNC Studio.

The day progressed smoothly with no disturbance at all.

Once it ended, Shen Jingwei was in excellent mood. He even bought so groceries on his way ho to cook up a feast for dinner.

While humming a happy tune to himself, he dragged his stuff toward his apartnt. His smile faded completely when he pushed the front door open.

The whole apartnt was empty.
