Chapter 74: Revealing 

Not only did Lu Yuanbai find that he woke up a little late recently, but even Lin Mu noticed that Lu Yuanbai, who always gets up early, was uncharacteristically lazy and started to slack off the bed.

Usually, when Lin Mu was going to find Lu Yuanbai to go out to work, Lu Yuanbai had already packed himself up and waited for him to pick him up.

However, for several days in a row, when Lin Mu came to Lu Yuanbai in the morning, it was Duan Yu who opened the door.

When asked the man about Lu Yuanbai,

The answer given was always the same.

“I haven’t woken up yet.”

In the past few days, every time Lin Mu went to call Lu Yuanbai, he felt a little embarrassed, as if a single dog broke the solitude between them.

However, once it was already ten o’clock in the morning, Lu Yuanbai was still sleeping in bed.

Afterwards, it was Duan Yu who went into the master bedroom to wake him up, and Lu Yuanbai woke up leisurely.

At the moment, Lu Yuanbai was sitting in the nanny car that was moving towards the filming location of the crew as he read the script.

Lin Mu sat beside Lu Yuanbai and watched the man concentrate on reading the script. He hesitated to speak for a while.

Lu Yuanbai’s eyes drooped slightly. “What’s the matter?”

Lin Mu’s face was frozen for a moment before he said, somewhat embarrassed, “Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just…”

Lu Yuanbai glanced at him slightly sideways.

Lin Mu swallowed his saliva and said, “Brother Yuan, have you been too tired at night recently? “Brother Yuan had not yet awoken when I arrived these few days.”

Lin Mu said the words quite tactfully; after all, Lu Yuanbai had always been a very disciplined person.

As for what would make Lu Yuanbai so tired at night, one can imagine; after all, everyone is an adult.

Lu Yuanbai’s hand holding the script froze, and he naturally understood the meaning of Lin Mu’s words.

In fact, Lu Yuanbai attributed the reason why he got up late recently to the fact that his body hadn’t adapted to work for a while.

He had been lying in the hospital for more than a month, and he didn’t exercise much, so his physical strength must have declined.

It’s not like Lin Mu said he was too tired at night.

But even now, Lu Yuanbai still couldn’t refute it; after all, he couldn’t say that it was caused by his lazy bed-rest.

In the end, Lu Yuanbai remained silent and said, “I paid attention to rest recently.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Mu nodded.

Lu Yuanbai didn’t say anything more and continued to look down at the script. After all, he couldn’t find the reason why he slept late.

He was still suffering from insomnia a month ago, but now he is sleeping late in bed.

No matter who listens to it, it is incredible.

On the other end, Duan Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, checking flight information. He really should go back after staying in the small county town for too long.

However, now Lu Yuanbai says that it will take two months to complete the filming.

For a moment, his brows and eyes were tightly wrinkled.

When Lu Yuanbai came back from work on the set, he saw Duan Yu sitting in the living room with extremely low air pressure.

Lin Mu, who followed in, was so frightened that he paused slightly and then took a look at Lu Yuanbai before he dared to continue walking in.

“Just put my things here.”

Lu Yuanbai pointed to an empty space, and Lin Mu hurriedly put down the bag in his hand.

It was filled with Lu Yuanbai’s costumes, including two sets of school uniforms, one for summer and one for winter.

It was also due to the alternation of seasons. Now the crew was rushing to film, trying to finish filming all the scenes needed for summer before the arrival of late autumn.

However, there are quite a few shots of Ji Chen played by Lu Yuanbai, causing his schedule to be packed.

Lu Yuanbai walked into the master bedroom to change clothes and take a shower. Lin Mu was going to lift his legs to go out, but he was stopped by the man sitting in the living room just after walking a few steps.

“Wait.”

Lin Mu swallowed and looked at Duan Yu. “Is there anything wrong with President Duan?”

Duan Yu: “With the current progress of the crew, how long will it take for him to leave after filming?”

It was obvious he was referring to Lu Yuanbai, who was taking a shower in the bathroom.

After hearing this, Lin Mu roughly calculated in his mind, “About two months, but now the crew is catching up with seasonal dramas, and it may be earlier than expected.”

Duan Yu was silent after listening, and Lin Mu gave his calculations.

The time frame was similar to what he had thought.

Seeing that Duan Yu didn’t talk anymore, this time it was Lin Mu who had the courage to speak, “Mr. Duan, I recently found out that Brother Yuan has a problem with getting up late.”

Duan Yu looked at him after hearing this. Lin Mu took a deep breath and continued: “Recently, brother Yuan has had a lot of roles and a heavy workload. Tonight…please let brother Yuan go to bed early.”

Lu Yuanbai’s daily workload is now higher than that of the previous scenes. As this movie contained lots of newcomers, the shots are never taken once, and they have to be accompanied by repeated shots.

Lu Yuanbai had just been discharged from the hospital, and with the late-night activities, he only came back at night. Lin Mu was afraid that Lu Yuanbai’s health would not be able to bear it.

However, right after Lin Mu mentioned this, Duan Yu couldn’t help laughing.

This smile is fleeting, but Lin Mu can see the underlying meaning in it.

The person in front of him was laughing at him for being too young.

“I didn’t make your brother Yuan tired at night.”

Lin Mu was a little surprised when he heard this. Didn’t brother Yuan get lazy on the bed because he lived a shameless husband-wife life?

But now the man in front of him has denied it.

When Lin Mu was still puzzled, he heard the man on the other side continue.

“It’s your brother Yuan who pesters me to sleep every night.”

Lin Mu: ! ! !

Lin Mu froze in place; his eyes almost fell out as soon as these words were spoken.

Their brother Yuan is always indifferent and ruthless towards others!

How can he be so passionate in private?!

Lin Mu’s mind flashed today in the nanny’s car, when he reminded Lu Yuanbai to pay attention to the scene and to rest at night.

At that time, Lu Yuanbai’s face was slightly embarrassed, and his ears seemed to be a little red, as if he were reflecting.

Combined with Duan Yu’s words just now…

Even if Lin Mu couldn’t believe it, it really seemed to be the case.

Those who are dissatisfied with their desires are their brother Yuan!

In the end, Lin Mu’s face was slightly stiff, and his mouth opened and closed, trying to find some face for Lu Yuanbai.

Even though Lin Mu thought about it in his mind for a long time, he didn’t even have a rebuttal.

It is indeed impossible to refute.

When Duan Yu said these words, he was not guilty at all.

After all, he was right.

Every night at eleven o’clock, the man would enter the master bedroom on time, and after taking away the pillow in his arms, Lu Yuanbai would naturally entangle him because of a lack of security.

But it just makes him want to sleep every night.

In the end, Lin Mu left the suite without saying anything. As for their brother Yuan’s face… let’s put it aside for now.

After Lin Mu left, Duan Yu received a call from the butler.

“Sir!”

There was obvious eagerness in the butler’s voice.

After hearing this, Duan Yu asked, “What’s the matter?” 

The butler asked, “Is it convenient for you to video now, sir? It might not be clear on the phone.”

Both of them spoke Mandarin, but he didn’t understand why they couldn’t explain on the phone.

But Duan Yu was silent for a while and still said, “It’s convenient.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone before the butler.

Not long after the phone was hung up, the butler really made a video call.

Duan Yu swiped across the screen and tapped to connect.

The next moment, a huge dog’s head came into view.

Duan Yu: “…”

A furry dog’s head appeared on the screen.

For a moment, a person and a dog looked at each other unexpectedly across the screen.

After seeing Duan Yu on the screen of the mobile phone, Pi Pi cried out excitedly, “Wow! Wang!”

Then the four short legs started to circle around the phone.

The butler’s voice came from the background: “Sir, the young master misses you so much today that I can’t do anything but disturb you.” 

Play

Unmute

As soon as the butler finished speaking, Pi Pi cooperated with prprprpr on the screen of the phone… …

Today, when the butler was making dog food for Pi Pi, he found that the little guy was unusually listless.

No food, no water—even when Mimi came to play with it, the little guy wagged his tail listlessly a few times.

He even took out some small toys and put them in front of Pi Pi, but Pi Pi still didn’t respond. Even the toy ball that he liked before didn’t arouse his motivation.

The butler was taken aback at the time and hurriedly called the pet doctor over to see Pi Pi to see if the little guy was sick.

However, the only thing detected by Pi Pi was that he was slightly… overweight.

There was nothing wrong with the rest of the body.

However, simply adding some fat will not make Pi Pi feel any better at all; after all, the small boy was single-minded the entire day, not to mention how happy he was.

He doesn’t feel bad about being fat at all.

In the end, it was the pet doctor who raised his concern about whether the little guy missed his master, and Pi Pi gave a rare response.

The housekeeper met them and brought Duan Yu’s photo over.

When Pi Pi saw it, he immediately regained his energy, circling the butler and occasionally letting out an expectant cry.

However, when the butler put away the photos, Pi Pi started to get depressed again, neither eating nor drinking, not even taking a second look at the delicious royal dog food that he had eaten before.

The housekeeper felt that going on like this was not an option, so he made a video call with Duan Yu.

Not long after playing the video, Mimi also came over.

In the past month, the two little guys have grown up a lot.

Pi Pi looked at Duan Yu in the video with great reluctance; his glass bead-like dog eyes seemed to be wet at this moment.

“Woof! Woof!”

Both humans and pets have feelings.

From the perspective of Pi Pi and Mimi, Duan Yu and Lu Yuanbai are like family members; they are very dependent on them.

Duan Yu simply watched them. It was true that he hadn’t seen the two little guys for a while.

A few years ago, he was not a person who would be concerned about anyone.

But now there are more and more people and things that he cares about.

All of this was brought to him by Lu Yuanbai.

Duan Yu stayed with the two little guys for a while before hanging up the video.

After the video hung up, the two little guys became anxious almost instantly.

Gone! Gone!

Mimi stepped on the blacked-out phone screen with his meat pad, meowing anxiously for a while.

Pi Pi hummed, even more aggrieved.

The butler found the anxious looks of the two little guys cute, so he took a video and sent it to Duan Yu.

When Duan Yu saw it, he opened it to watch.

Lu Yuanbai saw this scene when he came out of the bathroom.

The man was sitting on the sofa with a rare smile on his cold face, and he was looking at something with his mobile phone.

Lu Yuanbai passed by while he was wiping his hair, but he could hear Pi Pi and Mimi’s cries from the video in his ears.

Lu Yuanbai turned his head, almost subconsciously, and saw the two little guys on the screen.

For some reason, the two little guys seemed to be in a panic, and they were running around in a hurry.

Lu Yuanbai’s eyes were unconsciously attracted by the pet video on Duan Yu’s phone.

Pi Pi and Mimi were the pets he gave to Duan Yu before, but they are now common property in this agreed marriage.

After all, he’s the other father of the two. Lu Yuanbai still cares about these two little guys very much in his heart; it’s also due to the education of Ms. Lu Wanfang when he was a child.

When he was very young, Ms. Lu Wanfang began to teach Lu Yuanbai, who was still a little bun, to be responsible and to have a sense of responsibility in his heart.

The specific manifestation is that after doing something wrong, he needs to take responsibility for his mistakes; if not, he will be severely beaten.

Although Lu Yuanbai was timid and cowardly in the first eighteen years of his life, having no guts or backbone, his sense of responsibility was much stronger than others.

This is also a good quality of the individual.

So far, Duan Yu seems to be the only person Lu Yuanbai has not been in charge of.

He feels a little ashamed to say it, but…

Lu Yuan lowered his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Duan Yu, who was sitting on the sofa.

This man is too dangerous for him. He is very dangerous for anyone who wants to live an ordinary life. Lu Yuanbai clearly knew that the two of them were not from the same world at all; their identities were very different.

Due to the experience of the previous few years, Lu Yuanbai didn’t want to pursue that kind of pure emotion anymore, and in the end, it was himself who was in a mess.

If he says, “I love you,” now, who knows if it will happen in the future?

This relationship could end in a few months or it could end tomorrow.

Lu Yuanbai looked away from the man and then returned to the screen.

On the screen, the two little guys were spinning around in a hurry.

Lu Yuanbai secretly thought about what to do with Pi Pi and Mimi if the two divorced and wondered if he could get them from Duan Yu.

Duan Yu glanced sideways and saw Lu Yuanbai standing beside him, staring intently at the two little guys on the phone.

The next moment, the man raised his hand and patted the sofa beside him, looking at Lu Yuanbai with intense eyes.

Lu Yuanbai stared blankly.

There was a slight hesitation on his delicate face.

Seeing the person standing still, Duan Yu said, “Afraid of me?”

The meaning of this sentence was a bit deep. Lu Yuanbai hesitated for a while after hearing this, but finally bit the bullet and sat beside Duan Yu.

He was not afraid of him.

Duan Yu put the phone into Lu Yuanbai’s hand after seeing the person sitting down.

Lu Yuanbai was a little surprised for a moment. He obviously didn’t expect the other party to make such a move.

Duan Yu called up the video of Pi Pi and Mimi so that Lu Yuanbai could watch it from the beginning.

Lu Yuanbai looked at Duan Yu with a pair of peach-blossom eyes.

However, the man didn’t say anything; he just gestured to the phone screen with his eyes.

Lu Yuanbai pursed his lips: “Why show it to me?”

Duan Yu looked at him and asked, “Don’t you like them?”

As long as Lu Yuanbai likes it, no matter who it is, Duan Yu will try his best to satisfy him.

There are not many people that Duan Yu cares about; it can be said that there are almost none.

When he was a child, he cared about his parents’ company and affection, but his parents didn’t care about him.

When he was a teenager, he cared about grades and awards, but in the end, he found that no matter how much fame he gained, he never seemed to get anything. He didn’t share the honor with anyone, and only he knew this joy.

After that, what he cared about gradually became simple interests.

It wasn’t until Lu Yuanbai suddenly broke into his world and broke his life that his monochromatic and silent world slowly began to become more colorful.

Now all he cares about is Lu Yuanbai.

Even if he promised the company that he would find a time to go back as soon as possible, he still hesitates every time he books a ticket.

He is worried about Lu Yuanbai, or it can be said that he is reluctant to bear Lu Yuanbai.

In the past few days, after the flights were booked, they were canceled within a few minutes.

As long as he thinks about leaving Lu Yuanbai, Duan Yu can’t stop hesitating.

Lu Yuanbai occupied more than just a place in his heart; Duan Yu almost didn’t want to leave for a moment.

He always thinks that it’s okay to stay with Lu Yuanbai for one more day, and it’s not too late to leave the next day.

However, nearly a week has passed like this, and the flight has not been confirmed until today.

Duan Yu has never been an indecisive person, but because of Lu Yuanbai’s principles and bottom line, he broke again and again.

Lu Yuanbai was also taken aback when he heard Duan Yu’s words; his heart skipped a beat, and his ears felt slightly hot for a moment.

Duan Yu also knew that Lu Yuanbai was a little awkward at this time, so he turned his eyes away when people looked at him so as not to make Lu Yuanbai feel at a loss.

Seeing that the person no longer looked at him, Lu Yuanbai turned his gaze back to the screen to look at the two little guys, Pi Pi and Mimi.

Duan Yu looked at Lu Yuanbai’s side face. Since Duan Yu would go into the master bedroom to sleep with someone in his arms recently, he couldn’t help but kiss Lu Yuanbai’s cheek every time.

White and soft like rice cakes.

Duan Yu looked at his cheeks and then picked up the white towel that Lu Yuanbai was wearing around his neck. He then put it on Lu Yuanbai’s hair, intending to wipe Lu Yuanbai’s hair.

It wasn’t long after Lu Yuanbai came out of the bathroom, so his hair was not dried because he watched the video just now, and the ends of his black hair were still dripping water from time to time.

Lu Yuanbai moved slightly, and Duan Yu started to wipe Lu Yuanbai’s hair through a towel when he saw it, “Don’t move.” 

It didn’t take long for Duan Yu to think that Lu Yuanbai would move around to reject him. So he pressed Lu Yuanbai’s shoulders down so that no one would get up from the sofa.

Sure enough, not long after Duan Yu finished speaking, Lu Yuanbai obediently remained still.

Lu Yuanbai’s heart was pounding this time, but he still pretended to be calm and watched the video with his mobile phone.

From time to time, Lu Yuanbai’s ears were gently touched by Duan Yu through the towel. This move was like scratching the chin of a kitten. 

There was no awkwardness in the movements, as if the relationship between the two was very close.

It is true in name; after all, the two are in a legal husband-and-wife relationship with legal protection.

For a while, the living room fell into silence.

Duan Yu rubbed Lu Yuanbai’s hair lightly, looking down at Lu Yuanbai’s slender neck exposed because he lowered his head slightly.

At this time, Lu Yuanbai’s neck was slightly red, as if something had made the person in front of him very shy.

Duan Yu stared at it for a long time, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with waves.

In the end, he couldn’t hold back and lightly touched the back of Lu Yuan’s fair neck with his cold fingertips.

However, I don’t know if Lu Yuanbai was frightened by the man’s sudden behavior or if someone touched his sensitive point, but the body in bear pajamas visibly trembled slightly.

The next moment, Lu Yuanbai turned his head immediately and asked, “What are you doing?”

At this moment, the other party looked at him with some resentment in his tone.

Duan Yu swallowed after listening to his adam’s apple roll.

At this time, Lu Yuanbai was like a kitten whose fur had exploded, accusing him dissatisfiedly but without any deterrent effect; it sounded like being coquettish.

Then he lied, “There was water.”

Duan Yu wiped his hair for a long time; there was no water dripping down.

It is almost impossible for a fool to believe this, but now that Lu Yuanbai is still holding Duan Yu’s mobile phone to watch the video, it is impossible for the two of them to remain frozen.

Then Lu Yuanbai thought about what the director had said to him before: that he should be more generous to Duan Yu.

After hearing Duan Yu’s casually made-up excuse, he gave a face-saving groan, then turned his head and continued watching the video on his mobile phone, as if the incident just now hadn’t happened.

It can also be said that both of them stepped down.

However, this sound changed completely in Duan Yu’s ears.

It was Lu Yuanbai’s words that he gritted his teeth in embarrassment to argue with others, but when Duan Yu heard them, he seemed to increase his complicity.

Because Lu Yuanbai didn’t reject and accuse him of touching.

Maybe… he could kiss somewhere else tonight.

Every time before the night comes, Duan Yu feels unexpectedly satisfied when he thinks of being able to hug Lu Yuanbai to sleep at night.

However, this satisfaction sometimes made him feel annoyed and irritable.

Both sweet and torturous.

If he kisses the back of Lu Yuanbai’s neck tonight, Duan Yu can’t help but start to worry about his willpower.

Lu Yuanbai also felt that the gaze on his side was too hot and turned his face slightly to the side in the opposite direction for a moment.

In addition to the first video, the butler later sent many videos of Pipi and Mimi to Duan Yu.

After the first video was played, Lu Yuanbai quietly glanced at Duan Yu with a pair of eyes, and there was still a little temptation in his eyes.

When Duan Yu saw it, he smiled and said, “Want to watch it?”

Lu Yuanbai nodded.

Duan Yu couldn’t resist Lu Yuanbai’s gaze: “Open it yourself.”

Lu Yuanbai agreed and then smiled at Duan Yu with a delicate face out of politeness.

This smile is very well-behaved, just like an elementary school student who has been praised by the teacher.

Duan Yu resisted the urge to bully Lu Yuanbai, then took a deep breath and sat beside Lu Yuanbai.

He originally intended to deal with some work matters, but on the other side, Lu Yuanbai, Pi Pi, and Mimi were too attractive.

The man, who has always been a workaholic, gave up the idea of ​​working but accompanied Lu Yuanbai to watch the video of Pipi and Mimi.

For a while, it was as if a pair of parents were watching a video of their child’s performance.

When watching the video, Lu Yuanbai rarely distanced himself from Duan Yu and was amused by the actions of the two little guys in the video from time to time.

“Are they cute?”

Lu Yuanbai nodded after hearing this. “Cute.”

For a while, he couldn’t take his eyes off of Butt and Mimi on the screen.

Duan Yu was afraid that Lu Yuanbai would not have the memory of these as he did not know the two little guys after the memory loss, so he was just going to introduce them.

The next moment, he heard Lu Yuanbai beside him say, “The two little guys have grown up a lot.”
