Chapter 50: First Kiss
The locksmith finally arrived and took some time to open the lock.
Feng Yan paid the money and even asked the person to drink some water and keep it a secret. But he saw that Yu Weixi still hadn’t come out.
“Daddy!” Niangao rushed in and hugged Yu Weixi.
“Daddy is out!” Niangao said with lingering fear, “This door… is too scary.”
Hehe…
He didn’t know if it was scary or not, but it was really a trap.
Yu Weixi hugged Niangao and hid in the walk-in closet, not daring to go out.
Feng Yan stood by the door, looking at Yu Weixi without saying a word.
Yu Weixi stood among a large pile of clothes. The light was not on, and it was pitch black. Feng Yan couldn’t see Yu Weixi’s expression, only the eyes that were sparkling in the darkness.
The two of them just faced each other without a word.
Yu Weixi’s mind was filled with a large swath of bullet comments, all messy.
He saw it! He fucking saw it!
What now, what now?
How do I make up a reason to explain to him? What if he doesn’t believe me?
Little did he know that Feng Yan’s mind was also a field of bullet comments.
The two of them just stood face to face, one by the door and one deep in the walk-in closet. Their faces were as steady as old dogs, without any fluctuation, but their hearts were a raging tsunami, the dam breaking.
Then, Feng Yan stepped forward and held Niangao’s hand.
Yu Weixi looked at the man standing in front of him. Before he could react, his vision blurred, and he was held by Feng Yan and pressed into the pile of clothes.
Then, under the cover of darkness and fabric, Feng Yan fiercely kissed Yu Weixi’s lips.
“…?!”
Yu Weixi’s eyes widened.
Niangao, on the side, was being held by Feng Yan. He looked at the two who had suddenly plunged into the clothes and blinked with some confusion.
Feng Yan’s one hand was around Yu Weixi’s waist, and their four lips were pressed tightly together.
Yu Weixi only felt the scent of Feng Yan’s perfume in his nose, and his whole body was being held down, unable to move.
Has Feng Yan… gone crazy?!!
“Mmm…” Yu Weixi kept hitting Feng Yan’s back with his hand, signaling for him to get up.
Before Feng Yan could savor it, he was forced to move his lips away.
Yu Weixi leaned against the wall behind him. The hanging clothes were by his side, covering half of his body. But because Feng Yan was holding him, he could feel… Yu Weixi’s trembling.
“You… you’re crazy.” Yu Weixi was panting heavily. “Get, get away!! Let go of me!”
In the darkness, Feng Yan’s gaze was a little dark and obscure.
Feng Yan wished he could just do Yu Weixi on the spot.
“Feng Yan…!” Yu Weixi’s voice trembled. “We… let’s go out!”
“Daddy?” Niangao looked at the two of them curiously.
Feng Yan took a deep breath, rubbed his nose, and said, “Let’s go, let’s go out.”
The three of them walked out of the walk-in closet. Niangao pointed at Yu Weixi. “Daddy’s face is so red…!”
Yu Weixi lowered his head, not daring to look at Feng Yan.
“Xixi…”
“Get lost…!” Yu Weixi pointed at the door. “Get out!”
Not only did Feng Yan not get lost, but he instead reached out and hugged Yu Weixi, pulling him into his arms.
“Hey…!”
Feng Yan’s voice was hoarse. “Good boy, Xixi.”
Niangao pulled the corner of Feng Yan’s shirt and jumped. “I want a hug too!”
Feng Yan smiled and picked up Niangao as well.
“Feng Yan…!” Yu Weixi bared his teeth. “Those things… were, were given to me by someone else.”
Feng Yan was almost amused by Yu Weixi.
“Okay.”
Feng Yan pinched Yu Weixi’s ear, which was so red it was about to bleed, and said gently, “Xixi, I will wait for you.”
Yu Weixi didn’t say a word.
“We’re joining the production team tomorrow. You two should go to bed early.” Feng Yan stopped while he was ahead and left first.
After Feng Yan left, Yu Weixi sat on the bed in a daze, his mind full of the kiss in the walk-in closet, the kiss that no one knew about in the darkness.
…Fuck.
Yu Weixi gently pinched Niangao’s ear. “…You little demon king!”
The little demon king smiled and jumped onto the bed, snuggling into Yu Weixi’s arms.
“Good night, Daddy!”
Yu Weixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He only felt that life was getting more and more difficult. He still had to join the production team tomorrow to face the hardships of life.
Really… so! Hard!
The next day, before the sky was bright, Yu Weixi forced himself to get up early, then held Niangao and rushed to the airport to go to the filming location in the mountains.
The filming locations at the beginning of the drama were mostly concentrated in the mountains and the prince’s mansion. The production team had found a place with good scenery and an imperial garden, which was very suitable, and the climate was also good.
The moment he pushed open the door, he saw a well-dressed Feng Yan standing outside, waiting.
Yu Weixi: “…”
Mmm, his, Yu Weixi’s, trial is about to begin.
Life was hard. As long as the filming lasted, he would have to endure the trial for that long. And the two of them were going to be a couple. They couldn’t really fall out.
“Let’s go.”
“…Mmm.”
Yu Weixi held Niangao, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The two of them didn’t say much all the way to the airport, on the plane, and finally to the production team.
The main actors were all joining the production team on the first day. The production team was also still doing the final set and props preparations. So on the first day, everyone was temporarily allowed to move freely, to rest and adapt to the environment.
Yu Weixi had brought a child to the production team, and everyone was very curious.
Niangao was fair and cute. Many people wanted to tease him, but the child was shy around strangers. He either stuck to Yu Weixi and Feng Yan or to the assistant, and was very wary of the strange environment.
On the first day, Yu Weixi and Feng Yan rested in the homestay with the child and went over the script.
Feng Yan went through the script with Yu Weixi, scene by scene, line by line, carefully guiding him and helping him sort out his emotions.
So on the second day of filming, the effect was actually not bad.
At the beginning of the story, a tall and noble man was practicing his sword in the back mountain.
Feng Yan had a foundation in fighting and had also acted in many historical dramas. Under the guidance of the teacher, he was suspended by wires and did many difficult moves.
In the open space, the man brandished his sword. The tassels on the sword danced. His movements were smooth and clean.
Flipping, jumping, sweeping, bending his waist… his spirit was high, the silver light was dazzling, and the sword’s energy stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground.
And behind a large tree, a little rabbit demon was secretly watching.
At this time, Bai Xiaotu was a demon who had just cultivated a human form, not an immortal.
The little rabbit demon—Bai Xiaotu—twitched his tail, which he had forgotten to hide, and stared with wide eyes from behind the trees.
So handsome…!
Bai Xiaotu’s two eyes were full of stars.
“Who’s there?!”
The man’s martial arts were high. He noticed a slight movement on the side and directly threw the hilt of his sword over.
With a “swish,” the hilt passed through the leaves, and the sword’s energy scared the little rabbit on the side so much that it directly changed back to its original form.
So when the man walked behind the bushes to pick up his sword hilt, what he saw was a rabbit that had been knocked unconscious.
“Oh?” The man curled his lips into a smile, pinched the rabbit’s neck, and lifted it up. “Is this an extra dish for dinner?”
Bai Xiaotu: ????
Then the man saw the rabbit in his hand struggling desperately, its four paws constantly kicking.
“Oh my, braised or steamed?”
“…!!” QAQ
The man looked closely and noticed that there was a red heart between the rabbit’s eyebrows.
“A red dot between the eyebrows. This rabbit is a beauty rabbit.” The man smiled. “Quite unique.”
The man held the rabbit in his arms. “Since you’re different, then this prince will keep you.”
The man’s status was noble. He naturally wouldn’t think of catching wild game in the mountains. He had originally thought of putting it back, but now he had a new idea.
Hearing this, the little rabbit demon stopped struggling and obediently lay in the man’s arms.
“OK! Cut!”
The first take passed without any obstacles. Yu Weixi sat on the side, holding the rabbit with the red heart, and waited for the next scene.
“Not bad.” Director Liang came over and praised, “As expected of an actor who has been through Mr. Lu and Yan-ge. Very good!”
Yu Weixi just nodded, his hand still stroking the rabbit.
It feels so good.
The rabbit was very docile, quietly nestled in Yu Weixi’s lap.
Feng Yan sat down next to Yu Weixi and went over the next scene with him again.
The next scene was moved to the prince’s mansion not far away, the interaction between the prince and the little rabbit demon.
The prince still didn’t know that this was not an ordinary rabbit. But seeing that it was well-behaved and really good-looking, he took it with him wherever he went. It even aroused the jealousy of his concubines, who wanted to poison the little rabbit. But the smart little rabbit demon managed to avoid it.
The prince also often told the little rabbit his innermost thoughts. Born into the royal family, he had to be careful with every step, full of schemes and intrigues. This man was wary of outsiders and could only reveal a few of his innermost thoughts to this little animal.
And the rabbit demon always listened quietly.
For the next scene, Yu Weixi and Feng Yan acted separately. After all, Feng Yan’s scene was with the rabbit, and when Bai Xiaotu transformed into a human, it was not in front of the prince, but to secretly help himself and the prince out of trouble.
After finally finishing today’s goal, Yu Weixi immediately went to find his assistant to get Niangao back.
“Daddy is done with work!” Niangao obediently sat by Yu Weixi’s side, watching him remove his makeup.
“Yes. Daddy will take you to eat later.”
“Okay!”
Yu Weixi washed his face and asked, “Where did Niangao go today?”
“Sister Shuangshuang took me to play in the water in the mountains!” Niangao couldn’t wait to share with Yu Weixi, “There’s a river. The water is super clean and super cool! So beautiful.”
“No wonder.” Yu Weixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He pinched the corner of Niangao’s clothes. “Your pant legs and clothes are still a little wet. Go and change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold. Ask Sister Shuangshuang to take you back to the homestay. Come and find me after you’ve changed, okay?”
“Okay!”
“Or if Niangao is hungry, you don’t have to wait for me. You can go and eat with Sister Assistant first, okay?”
Niangao paused and said coquettishly, “No, I want to eat with Daddy.”
“Okay.” Yu Weixi pinched Niangao’s cheek.
On the way back to the homestay with Shuangshuang, Niangao ran into Feng Yan, who had just come out from inside.
Feng Yan had finished earlier than Yu Weixi, so he had gone back to the homestay to take a shower and change his clothes first. He was just about to go and find Yu Weixi and Niangao to have dinner together when he happened to run into them. So Shuangshuang handed Niangao over to Feng Yan.
“Let’s go.” Feng Yan picked up Niangao with a smile and said gently, “I just happen to have something to give you.”
“Ah…?”
“I bought you a little gift. I’ll give it to you later. Let’s go and change our clothes first.”
Arriving at the room, Niangao held his clothes and looked at Feng Yan. “Yan-gege… go out first.”
“…?”
Niangao stammered, “I want to, be alone, and change my clothes.”
Feng Yan found it a little strange. Niangao was just a child and naturally wouldn’t have any embarrassed feelings. But why was he making such a request now…?
“Can you do it alone?”
“I can…!” Niangao said with a smile, “Niangao has grown up. I can change my own clothes!”
“Okay.”
Feng Yan stood outside the door, waiting, and still felt a little strange.
What is this little one doing?
After thinking about it, Feng Yan’s intuition was still uneasy, so he directly pushed the door open and entered.
Niangao was startled and frantically tried to cover his knees.
Feng Yan frowned slightly, and his tone also became stern. “Come on, let Yan-gege see.”
“No, no…”
Feng Yan didn’t care about that. He directly squatted down and held the child who was trying to run away, lifting his pant leg.
Then he saw that Niangao’s knees were bruised.
“You…”
Feng Yan was a little angry now.
This child, he doesn’t learn anything else, but he learns that from his daddy!
Feng Yan said sternly, “Why didn’t you say you were injured? Why didn’t you tell your daddy, or Shuangshuang, or me?”
“I… I…” Niangao’s eyes immediately turned red.
Feng Yan couldn’t stand it when Niangao and Yu Weixi cried. He helplessly ruffled the back of Niangao’s head and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. Yan-gege is worried about you. Just tell me, okay? Why did you hide it and not tell us?”
“Yan-gege, don’t you tell Daddy…” Niangao cried out with a “wah,” “Daddy brought me out, for the first time…”
Feng Yan paused.
“I accidentally fell by the river… the rocks, sob… the rocks were too slippery.”
“If Daddy knows I caused trouble, next time, hic… next time he won’t bring me… I want to be with Daddy!”
“I can do it…!”
Niangao explained to Feng Yan intermittently.
Feng Yan understood now.
This child…
Feng Yan helplessly hugged Niangao and gently patted his back. “Okay, I won’t say it. I won’t tell your daddy.”
“Yan-gege, you’re not allowed to say…”
“Okay, okay. Pinky swear.”
This child is really… Feng Yan thought.
“Does it hurt? And you’re still pretending to be fine. At such a young age, what are you pretending to be strong for?” Feng Yan pinched Niangao’s ear. “Come on, I’ll apply some medicine for you.”
Then, Feng Yan went to find Yu Weixi first.
Yu Weixi had just finished showering in the small bathroom of the dressing room and was sitting in front of the dressing table, applying moisturizer. His hair was still dripping with water, and a towel was draped over his shoulders.
“What…!” Seeing Feng Yan, Yu Weixi was immediately like a cat with its fur standing on end. “What are you doing!”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a pervert or a bandit.” Feng Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Really, I was wrong in the changing room last night. I will definitely not touch you casually in the future. You can rest assured. We’ll get along as usual.”
“…”
Don’t bring up what you shouldn’t.
“I came to talk to you about something.”
“What is it.” Yu Weixi bared his teeth.
“About Niangao.”
Yu Weixi paused.
Huh?
Feng Yan walked behind Yu Weixi and glanced at his wet hair, unable to help but ask, “Should I blow your hair for you?”
“…No need.” Yu Weixi hadn’t planned on blowing it.
“It’s not healthy not to blow it. It’s easy to get a headache, and your hair is not short.” Feng Yan took the hairdryer and comb on the side and started to blow Yu Weixi’s hair himself.
“It won’t take much time. I can talk to you while I blow it.”
Yu Weixi pouted.
The “buzzing” sound of the hairdryer sounded in his ear. Yu Weixi could feel a pair of thick hands gently messing with his hair. The hot air blew on his hair with the hand, and it was extremely comfortable.
Feng Yan looked at the little kitten who was obediently being petted by him and couldn’t help but smile.
Although… the two were not officially together yet, Feng Yan could feel Yu Weixi’s gradually softening attitude and his increasing acceptance of his proximity. Feng Yan could also feel that Yu Weixi was also trying hard to adjust and try to get close to him.
The little friend who had never had such a close distance with anyone else, and had never given himself away, was also trying hard. Although it was a little clumsy, Feng Yan was still very happy.
“What did you want to talk about just now? About Niangao?”
“Yes.” Feng Yan came back to his senses, then couldn’t help but frown. “Xixi, I think this child is too insecure… you have to pay attention, otherwise Niangao’s growth will have problems in the long run.”
“Ah…?”
“Xixi, Niangao is only a few years old, but he’s already afraid that you won’t want him, and he’ll even pretend to be fine when he’s injured.” Feng Yan’s tone was full of heartache. “He’s learned from you.”
Feng Yan turned up the intensity of the hairdryer.
His palm was full of Yu Weixi’s soft black hair, fragrant and smooth, passing through his fingers, making Feng Yan’s palm itch.
“He’s injured?!” Yu Weixi turned to look at Feng Yan.
“It’s just a scrape. It’s not a big deal, but Niangao’s mentality is not good.” Feng Yan composed himself and focused on blowing Yu Weixi’s hair. “You’re Niangao’s only relative. You two are often apart, and you don’t even let him call you Daddy. Maybe he’s misunderstood.”
“He fell and got injured by the river today, and he didn’t dare to tell you, just because he was afraid that you would think he was a trouble and wouldn’t bring him out next time.”
Yu Weixi paused, his eyes immediately filled with a bit of conflict and guilt.
“I, I didn’t know…”
He was not good at taking care of children in the first place. He had already tried his best to give Niangao all his love.
“A child’s thoughts are more sensitive than we imagine.” Feng Yan reminded.
Yu Weixi paused, then looked up and subconsciously asked, “…Then what should I do?”
Feng Yan thought for a moment and asked, “Xixi, whose child is Niangao?”
“…”
“…………Ah?”
Feng Yan said, “Is Niangao really your nephew? Or is he a child you had by accident?”
Yu Weixi didn’t speak anymore.
“Fine. I understand that you have some unspeakable difficulties, and I won’t deliberately pry.” Feng Yan said, “But you have to be more open with Niangao. You can’t let him feel that he’s your burden, you understand?”
“I’m protecting him…!” Yu Weixi retorted excitedly, “I’ve never thought of him as my burden!”
“I know, I know.” Feng Yan patted Yu Weixi’s shoulder. “But a child doesn’t understand that much. What he cares about is not how the outside world sees him, but what you think of him. Do you understand? You have to let him know, give him the confidence that you will never abandon him.”
Yu Weixi was taken aback, then was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
“Oh…”
Yu Weixi wrung the corner of his clothes. “I’ll go back tonight… and talk to him.”
