Chapter 38: Dog-Blood High Society
—The live stream has been closed due to violations.
The live stream finally froze on the moment Gu Xiu’s Adam’s apple was kissed.
The wealth-flaunting streamer was once again tragically banned for vulgar and obscene content. This time, everyone saw it clearly.
It was indeed not a wrongful accusation.
The camera could only capture the upper bodies of the two, but from the dazed expressions and messy hair, one could completely imagine the state of the two functionally normal men below. And from the creaking swivel chair, one could even imagine the intense battle of the long night.
The live stream was banned a step too late. All sorts of screenshots, GIFs, and screen recordings had already spread like wildfire.
【[Image] Is Chairman Lu of the Huanya Group so young?? Can any internal staff come out and claim him?】
【My friend is an employee of Huanya. They’ve all signed confidentiality agreements, but I heard that Chairman Lu is indeed very young! He’s not even thirty, right?】
【A group chairman in his twenties?? When I was in my twenties, I was still ah ba ah ba…】
【A friend of mine’s defenses are broken】
【You’ll get used to it after a while. I heard that 90% of the employees in the office are older than Chairman Lu, hahaha】
【Is it reasonable for Chairman Lu to be not only young and promising, but also so handsome???】
【Has it gotten to the point where even the capital big boss behind the entertainment industry has to have a celebrity face?】
【Ahhhhhh, I’m taking back my words about calling Teacher Gu husband. Chairman Lu is the real husband, ahhhhhh】
【A rich, young, handsome, and caring domineering CEO… a Jinjiang novel has come to life】
【No wonder Teacher Gu is so in love and even started a live stream to clarify for him】
【hhh, even if he’s really locked up at home by Chairman Lu, he’s probably willing [/dog head]】
【Am I the only one who’s curious who the husband is between the two of them in private?】
【Although Chairman Lu is more A, I support the domineering CEO as the bottom】
【Ahhhhhhh, sisters, you know how to ship】
【@Gugujiu@Gugujiu, why doesn’t Teacher Gu even have a Weibo?? Quick, come and tell the family!!】
It was nine in the morning. Gu Xiu was swimming in a sweet dream, contentedly resting his head on the person’s arm beside him.
Lu Shichen used his other arm to get his phone, looked at the trending topics, and first changed his Weibo name, adding his full name.
So that when the netizens were shipping the CP, they wouldn’t even know his name.
As for those live stream screenshots, he saved them one by one to look at later. Then he found a work photo from his phone, which clearly showed his face and figure, and posted it on his Weibo.
The onlookers flocked in.
The most concerned question was: 【Chairman Lu, you’re not even 30??】
@Huanya Group Chairman – Lu Shichen V: 【I’m 28 this year. 6 years older than Gu Xiu.】
He even rigorously emphasized the fact that he was only six years older than Gu Xiu, by no means an old cow eating young grass.
【woc, so young and handsome】
【Chairman Lu looks even more handsome at work】
【Who understands? Not long ago, I wanted to apply to be Chairman Lu’s son… only to be told that I’m older than him??】
【Since Chairman Lu is so young… so Teacher Gu still calls you uncle, is it a form of play? Is it, is it [/side eye smile]】
Lu Shichen slowly scrolled through the netizen’s comments and couldn’t help but smile.
After a long while, he put down his phone, lowered his head, and gently kissed Gu Xiu’s soft black hair. He slipped into the quilt and lazed in bed with the other person.
…
The series of screenshots and screen recordings of the live stream accident spread widely and naturally reached Jiang Yuan Yao.
He couldn’t believe it and looked at the mountain of ironclad evidence over and over again, as if he were torturing himself. He tossed and turned, struggling to digest this result.
Gu Xiu and Lu Shichen were together.
He had not yet become someone worthy of Gu Xiu, but Gu Xiu had already found someone else.
The more Jiang Yuan Yao thought about it, the more upset he became. He scrambled up and wiped the corners of his eyes. He opened Weibo, and a new update about the two of them came into view. His message column was also filled with all sorts of @s and comments, asking him what his relationship with Gu Xiu was.
Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and edited a Weibo post with his account that had tens of millions of followers and sent it out.
@Jiang Yuan Yao V: It’s a pity I can’t be carefree [/sigh]
He was now famous and influential. It seemed that the netizens were about to interpret a million-word poignant love story from this Weibo post.
After Gu Xiu woke up, he had no choice but to register a Weibo account and personally go over to leave a comment.
@Gugujiu Gu Xiu: 【I told you we’re even! I only invested in you before because I had too much money and nowhere to spend it. If it were someone else, I would have invested in them too, you understand? If you have the leisure to be sentimental, you might as well read more scripts.】
Gu Xiu’s cold response attracted a string of disbelieving question marks from the netizens: 【????】
【What does that mean? So they were just in a superior-subordinate relationship before?】
【It looks like it. Teacher Gu is handsome and generous, giving without asking for anything in return. It’s really hard not to be moved】
【Someone looks fierce, but he’s actually still considering Yaoyao’s well-being, telling Yaoyao to focus on his work…】
【No wonder Yaoyao is reluctant to let go】
【It’s a pity. The one who stole his love is the chairman of the Huanya Group. Yaoyao is no match for him at all】
【Who would have thought that the chairman of a listed group is not even 30?? And can I say that he’s more handsome than most male celebrities?】
【Wuwuwuwu, my CP is BE, wuwuwuwu】
【Isn’t our little uncle nurturing literature even better to ship!!?】
【Little uncle literature YYDS!】
【Support Chairman Lu’s rise to power!!】
In broad daylight, Lu Shichen was not concentrating on his work, but went around liking posts. Like an old scholar, he seriously thanked those CP fans who blessed them.
Such as the following speculations, he liked them all without hesitation.
【Speaking of which, was the live stream accident last time really an accident? Chairman Lu is the chairman of a listed group. It’s impossible that he didn’t guess that Teacher Gu was live-streaming, right? And he deliberately pushed him onto the chair…】
【Tsk tsk tsk, so scheming】
【Hahahaha, who made you guys complain that he was an old man before? Isn’t he here to prove himself now?】
【I reasonably suspect that the live stream accident before was also… a declaration of sovereignty… so possessive and scheming】
【Huanya TV is under the Huanya Group. Don’t tell me the first time Teacher Gu was banned had nothing to do with him】
【xs, there was nothing that couldn’t be seen in that live stream. It was banned for no reason, but the comments were indeed very unrestrained. Someone must have been secretly watching and was so jealous, right?】
【Actually, Chairman Lu looks like he’s a two-faced, gentle scum】
【Ahhhhhh, he looks like he’s very good in bed】
【I feel like Chairman Lu is the type who looks noble and ascetic, but turns into a miner and goes crazy as soon as he takes off his glasses】
【Support the domineering CEO as the bottom! Sit on top and move yourself, ride Teacher Gu until he can’t get out of bed, hehehehe】
【…Put on some pants, sisters!】
Gu Xiu came over to take a look. Damn it! He knew it. There were no accidents when it came to Lu Shichen. It was all the “old man’s” deliberate and step-by-step…
He complained under his breath, also liked a few posts, and then quickly deactivated his Weibo and disappeared from the internet, disdainful of the immense traffic that was offered to him.
Lu Shichen had accidentally appeared in the live stream, and their relationship had been completely dug up by the netizens, which was equivalent to the official announcement in the novel. The netizens were also shipping the CP with great enthusiasm.
At this moment, a new pop-up window appeared in front of him.
【Mission Complete】
The system’s judgment function was indeed full of errors and absurd. The imminent mission deadline had thus disappeared.
In the automatic judgment, 007’s tumultuous and noisy voice turned into a cold mechanical sound: 【Mission evaluation in progress… Persona conformity check, plot completion check… Comprehensive evaluation grade: C. Reward of one hundred thousand points. Please collect the reward after returning to the main god space.】
A new pop-up window appeared. It was not a cold blue but a bright red, exuding a strong sense of urgency from its color.
【Small World Collapse Countdown: 7 days.】
Gu Xiu was stunned and quickly asked 007, 【What’s going on? Why are there only seven days left?】
A few days ago, he was still sighing about the mission deadline of less than a month. As a result, as soon as the mission was completed, the already insufficient time was drastically reduced to a week.
【Who told you to snatch all of the protagonist shou’s plot!!】 The lively and agile small silver ball of light popped out and said with cadence, 【The protagonist gong and shou are not together, so the small world can’t continue to operate! It’s already a miracle that it has held on until now…】
Gu Xiu’s eyelids trembled, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
What was done was done. He could only ask Lu Shichen to work from home for the next few days and try not to go out. The latter also went along with him. The two of them stayed together every day without leaving the house, and his live-streaming career was also temporarily put on hold.
Before getting to work at night, Lu Shichen went to take a shower and took his phone with him.
Gu Xiu glanced at him strangely. Does the domineering CEO also need to put his phone there to watch dramas while taking a shower?
The bathroom door closed, and his phone buzzed. He received a long-awaited message from the top contributor.
A7993344: 【Why haven’t you been live-streaming these past few days?】
Gugujiu: 【I’m in a relationship, boss. I want to spend more time with him. Didn’t you tell me to live in the moment?】
A7993344: 【Huh? Then why are you still chatting with me?】
Gugujiu: 【After all, you’ve donated so much money to me…】
A7993344: 【So you’ll chat with me for money?】
What’s wrong with this person? Every word he says is thorny and aggressive.
Gu Xiu frowned and pondered.
He didn’t reply for a long time, and the other party sent another question mark.
The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Gugujiu: 【What’s wrong, boss?】
But the top contributor didn’t say it directly and first replied with a string of ellipses.
Then a fatherly admonition.
A7993344: 【In a sense, this can be considered emotional cheating.】
What the hell? Can it be escalated to this level? Gu Xiu sat up with a carp-like leap and paced a few steps in anger. He looked down, and this person was endless!
A7993344: 【You should keep your distance from all men and women. No matter how much money the other party gives you.】
Gu Xiu blinked. The bit of anger that had just been aroused suddenly turned into a strong confusion. He raised his head, and in front of him was Lu Shichen’s desk, with a laptop on it.
Gu Xiu looked at his phone, then at the closed bathroom door. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he rushed to the laptop in one step.
Lu Shichen had always been very at ease with him, never hiding any company confidential documents from him. This computer, which was only used at home, was also not locked.
The current Gu Xiu was already familiar with the various operating rules and digital products of this world. He opened Lu Shichen’s WeChat on the computer. It was the account he used for work, and the ID was directly his full name, open and honest.
Gu Xiu stroked his chin and thought for a moment. He logged out of this account and chose the “switch account” option.
A familiar ID came into view.
A7993344.
The sunset landscape photo profile picture was even more familiar. Wasn’t this the top contributor in his phone?
Hehe.
Gu Xiu understood.
He restored the computer to its original state and quietly waited for Lu Shichen to finish his shower. Then he went over with a nonchalant expression. “I’m going to take a shower too.”
Lu Shichen asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you already take one?”
“Mm, I’m a little sweaty again,” Gu Xiu said and closed the door without a care.
The positions of the two were swapped.
Gu Xiu turned on the shower and put it aside. He stood in front of the washstand and took out his phone. The mirror reflected a cunning smile on his lips.
Gugujiu: 【Boss, want to see some nudes? ^ – ^】
A7993344: 【?】
Gu Xiu retreated to advance and did not reply.
Two minutes later.
A7993344: 【???】
Gu Xiu clicked his tongue, his lips curled up as he typed, continuing to fish.
Gugujiu: 【Want to see? ^ – ^】
A7993344: 【…】
A7993344: 【Do you know what you’re saying?】
A7993344: 【Are you still short of money?】
A7993344: 【? Speak】
A7993344: 【???】
He’s anxious.
Gu Xiu added fuel to the fire.
Gugujiu: 【Do you want to see?】
Knock, knock, knock!
The bathroom door was knocked so hard it was shaking, and the doorknob was being turned with a clicking sound.
Lu Shichen’s urgent voice, wrapped in anger, came from outside the door. “Gu Xiu, why did you lock the door?”
Gu Xiu pretended, “I’m taking a shower. What are you doing?”
Lu Shichen pushed the door with more force. “Open the door.”
Gu Xiu clicked his tongue, hid his phone, and went to open the door for him.
He was met with a pair of gray eyes, red with anger.
Gu Xiu deliberately played dumb. “What’s wrong, Ninth Uncle?”
Lu Shichen was so angry he couldn’t think. He was momentarily dizzy and didn’t even notice that Gu Xiu’s pajamas were still properly worn.
He locked the bathroom door with his backhand and pressed on step by step without a word. Two flames were dancing in his eyes, and his palm roughly rubbed in from under his pajamas.
Gu Xiu shivered from the pinch and belatedly sensed the danger. Just as he was about to get his phone on the washstand to explain, Lu Shichen beat him to it, swept the phone away, then grabbed his waistband, and went for both top and bottom.
Gu Xiu took a sharp breath, his clear black eyes filled with a misty haze. He turned his head and threw the flirtatious chat on his phone aside, enjoying the moment, and asked in a hoarse voice, “…Are we doing it in the bathroom today?”
Lu Shichen was still in a fit of anger and didn’t say a word. The hand that was rubbing him was also particularly forceful.
“Hiss!” Gu Xiu gasped and tried to stop him. “Lu Shichen! Look at your phone…”
Lu Shichen was so angry he couldn’t listen to anything and only took his resistance as ironclad evidence of emotional cheating.
Gu Xiu used all his strength to squeeze out another sentence. “Quick, look at your phone… mm!”
Gu Xiu almost fell into the bathtub. While Lu Shichen was taking something out, he quickly changed his address. “Boss, did you not see the nudes I sent you?”
He still had the face to say it.
Wait…
Boss?
Rationality came flooding back into Lu Shichen’s brain. He was stunned for a moment.
His movements paused.
Lu Shichen temporarily let go of the disheveled Gu Xiu in front of him and quickly went out to find his phone.
His heaving chest gradually calmed down.
“Phew, that scared me…”
Gu Xiu came over from behind and asked him again, “Did you see it?”
His voice was filled with a playful and teasing smile. His warm arms wrapped around his waist from behind, and his fluffy head poked out from his shoulder.
Two pairs of eyes looked at the phone screen together.
On the chat interface between “Gugujiu” and “A7993344,” at the very bottom, was a rosy and beautiful, quite iconic—
—photo of a red apple.
