Chapter 80: Guilty Conscience, Dark History
Li Ge’s uncle was the director of the hospital where Yuan Feng was planning to give birth. He deliberately avoided it and took Chen Shuo to the private hospital where he had had his own checkup.
Arriving at the hospital, Chen Shuo had thought about communicating with the doctor alone, but Li Ge was worried and insisted on accompanying him into the consultation room. He felt an indescribable sense of gratitude in his heart.
After arranging for Chen Shuo to sit down, Li Ge said bluntly, “Doctor, my brother had a severe nosebleed when he was having sex with his partner. He’s never had this before, please take a look, I’m not sure if it was caused by being too emotional.”
Chen Shuo, who had suddenly become a younger brother: “…”
The doctor was a middle-aged man, about fifty years old. He was stunned by Li Ge’s words and couldn’t process it for a moment, asking, “When did he have the nosebleed?”
Li Ge was nervous just thinking about it and quickly explained, “Just over half an hour ago, it flowed all over my hand, I was so scared that I quickly drove him here.”
The doctor was confused, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them, then he asked Li Ge again, “Your brother was having sex with his partner, and you were watching on the side?”
Chen Shuo touched Li Ge’s leg with his hand and said, “You can wait outside, I’ll talk to the doctor.”
“No, you’re not taking yourself seriously.” Li Ge thought to himself that he would have to come out sooner or later anyway, so he might as well go all out. He turned to the doctor and explained again, “He’s my wife. We were about to have sex, and he suddenly had a nosebleed.”
Chen Shuo, who had gone from being a younger brother to a wife: “…”
The doctor came around and, pointing at Chen Shuo, confirmed with Li Ge, “He’s your wife?”
“Yes,” Li Ge readily agreed, “we’re gay, we’re a couple.”
“…” Chen Shuo silently lowered his head. The indescribable feeling of gratitude he had earlier returned to his heart, and he couldn’t help but want to kiss his little treasure.
Doctor: “Uh, alright, I understand.”
After accompanying Chen Shuo through a series of tests and confirming that there were no problems with the report, Li Ge finally felt relieved.
The doctor’s conclusion was that Chen Shuo’s excessive excitement and agitation had caused a sharp increase in his blood pressure, leading to the rupture of small blood vessels under the nasal mucosa.
“Don’t worry too much.” The doctor reminded Chen Shuo, “But you can’t always be so excited, you still have to be careful, and relax when you’re having sex.”
“Okay, thank you, doctor, I’ll be careful.” Chen Shuo was too embarrassed to tell the doctor that it was because he hadn’t done it in a long time, and Li Ge was wearing such a sexy transparent lace bra.
Li Ge was both pleased and proud of this test result. His wife was indeed a pure and secretly horny person.
Putting away the test report, he left the consultation room and glanced at his watch. It was almost four o’clock. By the time he took Chen Shuo home, it would be almost time to pick up Ms. Min from the hospital. They couldn’t do it today, unless he snuck out in the middle of the night.
“Let’s go, wife.” Li Ge subconsciously called out, and noticing the stares from others, he didn’t care.
“Okay.” Chen Shuo followed Li Ge, “I’ll drive.”
Li Ge shook his head as he walked, “No need, I’ll drive.”
Regarding the address “wife,” Chen Shuo hadn’t taken it too seriously, considering it as part of Li Ge’s sweet nothings, thinking that Li Ge was just used to calling him that.
He silently followed beside Li Ge, feeling a sense of reality for the first time. He was Li Ge’s wife, and when something happened, Li Ge would be nervous about him, would take care of him, would drive him to the hospital, and he wouldn’t have to worry about anything at the hospital, Li Ge would run around for him.
Because he was his wife, Li Ge was so good to him.
The afternoon sun was scorching. Li Ge had been in a hurry when he arrived, parking wherever there was a space. The car was now roasting, and as soon as he got in, it was like a steamer, the seat burning his ass.
“Fuck, why is it so hot today?” Li Ge frowned and started the car, then took out his phone, “Wait a minute, wife, I’ll send a text to my cousin.”
Chen Shuo remembered that last summer, Yu Rui had mentioned that Mr. Li hated summer.
The air conditioning had just been turned on, and the car was unbearably stuffy. Seeing the fine sweat on Li Ge’s forehead, he looked around the car but couldn’t find any tissues. He casually opened the storage compartment in front of him, and a music album just happened to fall out.
Chen Shuo picked up the album. The cover was a chaotic ink wash, with a tall and straight man standing in the center.
The man’s head was slightly lowered, his side profile hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his face clearly. He seemed to be avoiding the camera, yet he was wearing a suit with an open collar, casually revealing his firm chest and abs. A chain was wrapped around him, like a soul’s shackle. The overall atmosphere was lonely and desolate, with a hint of depression.
The album was titled “Shackles,” with the singer’s name below, Lovien.
Chen Shuo didn’t follow celebrities or listen to music, so he naturally didn’t recognize him, but he was more familiar with the sexy body on the cover than anyone else. He had held it, kissed it, caressed it, and deeply possessed it. That was his little treasure.
After sending the text message, Li Ge was about to fasten his seatbelt when he turned his head and saw his own music album in Chen Shuo’s hand. He felt inexplicably uneasy and wanted to snatch it back.
But his wife was a big jealous person, and if he went crazy, he might become a monk. He was afraid that snatching it back would be too obvious, so he took the initiative to explain, “Wife, I was in the music industry for a few months before, I only released this one album. I’ve been meaning to get rid of it, but I forgot it in the car. Is it my dark history? Don’t look at it.”
“…” Chen Shuo was a bit jealous. He knew nothing about Li Ge’s past, but that Meng Shaoqian knew, and perhaps they had sung together.
And this album cover, he hated it. He didn’t know how many copies it had sold, but even if it had only sold a hundred copies, it meant that a hundred people had seen Li Ge’s chest and abs, and had bought it out of liking.
Li Ge was his little treasure, he could only be liked by him.
The car gradually cooled down, but Li Ge still felt uneasy, he was really afraid of a fight. He leaned over and hooked his arm around Chen Shuo’s neck, pressing him down, and kissed him passionately, his tongue squeezing into Chen Shuo’s mouth and sweeping, not forgetting to tease his wife’s soft tongue, kissing him deeply.
Chen Shuo was most vulnerable to Li Ge’s deep kisses. His heart quickly melted, and he raised his hands to hold Li Ge’s head and kissed him back forcefully, unable to bear to argue with his little treasure.
“Mmm—” It was very uncomfortable to maintain the awkward position. Li Ge had a feeling that Chen Shuo was going to go crazy, he couldn’t go crazy in the car and fuck him, it wouldn’t look good in broad daylight.
He timely turned his head to avoid him and wanted to say a few words, but was forcefully kissed again, his entire upper body held tightly by a strong arm, unable to move.
“Mmm, don’t, there are people, mmm—”
The temperature inside the car quietly rose, their breaths mingling, a hot and humid desire spreading from their lips, instantly filling the small space, even the air became ambiguous and sticky.
Chen Shuo didn’t kiss for too long. He was pulled back by reason at the edge of losing control and released Li Ge. Unfortunately, Chen Erdi stood at attention, protesting, wanting to go back to his warm home. He ignored Chen Erdi and asked Li Ge in a low voice, “Are you afraid of being seen now?”
“Fuck…” Li Ge leaned against the seat and panted, he had originally wanted to snatch the album back while kissing his wife, but he had made himself uncomfortable.
“Let’s drive.” Chen Shuo lowered his head to admire the album.
“Drive my ass, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Li Ge was unhappy, “I’m still being squeezed by my thong, you’re just deliberately tormenting me!”
“Yes, it was on purpose.” Chen Shuo said.
Li Ge: “…”
Chen Shuo flipped the album over and saw the tracklist. The title track was called “Shackles,” and the other seven songs, judging by their titles, were all love songs, which suited Li Ge.
Li Ge didn’t dare to say that this album was brought out by Meng Shaoqian when he harassed him at Gewu Media last month.
Meng Shaoqian had told him that he still had some old fans supporting him, silently waiting for him to return to the music industry, and Meng Shaoqian hoped to cover his songs, saying sanctimoniously that it was to respond to the fans’ waiting.
The album had been in his car for more than half a month, it seemed to be fate. Li Ge suddenly thought, when he came out, would he be able to formally appear as “Li Ge” to respond to the fans’ love and say a belated “I’m sorry” to them?
Fuck, no way.
Li Ge then thought of his streaking incident back then, and then looked at the big jealous person sitting next to him, feeling guilty. Even if it was a past that had nothing to do with Chen Shuo, he didn’t dare to bring it up, he wanted to travel back in time and slap himself twice when he thought about it.
“Xiao Bao’er,” Chen Shuo said, “tell me about this album of yours.”
“…” Li Ge was about to die of guilt and changed the subject, “Wife, aren’t you uncomfortable? Should I find a place with no one around and suck you off first?”
“No need.” Chen Shuo looked back at the cover and asked, “How many photos like this have you taken?”
“I was just singing for fun back then, I was afraid my parents would see, so I didn’t take many.” Li Ge was very satisfied with the album cover. Seeing that Chen Shuo was still staring at it, he changed the subject again, “What do you think, isn’t it cool? I designed the cover myself, your husband’s brain—”
“Not good-looking,” Chen Shuo interrupted Li Ge, “too revealing.”
Li Ge: “…”
Chen Shuo couldn’t think too much, it would make him uncomfortable. His little treasure’s ass cheeks had been seen by Fei Fan at the bar, and Li Ge had been stuck out so high at that time, he wasn’t sure if Fei Fan had seen the key part, he could only comfort himself that he probably hadn’t.
“Give me this album.” Chen Shuo wasn’t negotiating, he was clearly asking for it.
His wife wanted it, what could Li Ge do? He could only spoil him.
He reminded Chen Shuo, “You can listen to it if you want, but don’t play it when I’m around, I don’t want to hear it, it always makes me feel sorry for the fans who used to like me.”
Chen Shuo was curious, “How many fans?”
Li Ge thought for a moment and recalled, “I wasn’t very famous, I didn’t have many fans, I registered on Weibo at that time, probably around two to three hundred thousand.”
Chen Shuo: “…”
Li Ge: “I forgot to mention, no one followed me at the beginning, I felt embarrassed and bought 50,000 fake followers.”
Chen Shuo: “…”
On the way back, Chen Shuo couldn’t help but search for Li Ge’s English stage name on his phone. He didn’t know until he searched, and he found that there were still people who liked his little treasure.
And it was a new post from this year, the discussion wasn’t very high, but everyone was missing his little treasure, calling him “brother” affectionately. In one of the comments, someone had posted a photo of the album cover, with a string of screams as the caption.
“Ahhhhhhh brother, I’ve been listening to your ‘Shackles’ for so many years, I can even sing it backwards, when are you coming back with a new album ahhhhh, why did you have to leave the industry back then! The Chinese music scene can’t be without you ahhh!”
Chen Shuo’s vinegar jar was overturned. He couldn’t accept others addressing Li Ge like this and even wanted to register an account to reply to the other person, telling them not to call his little treasure that.
He regretted being so nosy, he might as well not have looked. As he was about to exit, he was attracted by the conversation in the comments.
Oppa Saranghae: [Sister, brother left the industry because he was framed, he left to prove his innocence (crying) it’s such a pity, such a good future, it was that idiot Meng Shaoqian, he deserves to be buried alive!]
OP replied: [Really? Meng Shaoqian doesn’t seem like that kind of person, why would he frame brother?]
Oppa Saranghae: [He spread rumors that brother was streaking, and conspired with paparazzi to frame brother. The photos were even exposed at that time, his physique was a bit similar to brother’s, but it was obviously fake!]
OP replied: [Where are the photos? Please, sister!]
Chen Shuo was grateful to that sister for sharing the link, but when he clicked on it, he found that the post had already been deleted. He continued to scroll down the original post, but there was no more talk about this. Everyone was just lamenting that Li Ge was no longer singing, praising him for his good singing.
“Wife, I’m talking to you.” Li Ge called out to Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo: “What?”
“I said I’ll take you back first, I have to go pick up my mom. When my mom is asleep tonight, I’ll come find you.” Li Ge glanced at Chen Shuo, seeing his wife still scrolling through his phone, his tone instantly dissatisfied, “Is your phone more important than your husband?”
Chen Shuo put away his phone and asked Li Ge, “Xiao Bao’er, what’s this about streaking?”
The atmosphere instantly became quiet.
At this critical moment, Li Ge’s phone rang. It was like a savior, it was his mother calling, great. He answered almost immediately, “Mom!”
Min Lanshu: “Xiao Bao’er, where are you?”
Li Ge: “I’ll be there to pick you up right away, wait for me, Mom.”
Min Lanshu: “Don’t rush, drive slowly.”
After the call ended, Li Ge pulled over and smiled apologetically at Chen Shuo, “Wife, you can’t believe what you read online, they can turn white into black. Don’t search anymore, I have a lot of dark history.”
Chen Shuo looked at Li Ge’s despicable behavior and had an idea. At least the relationship between Li Ge and Meng Shaoqian wasn’t that simple, perhaps it wasn’t a purely keeping relationship.
Li Ge unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to kiss Chen Shuo’s lips, smiling and coaxing his wife, “I’m sorry you have to take a taxi, be good.”
But Chen Shuo didn’t get out of the car. He stared at Li Ge and asked him, “Have I ever told you that if you lie to me again, I’ll beat you to death?”
“…” Li Ge’s smile froze.
Chen Shuo: “Your mother said to drive slowly, she’s not in a hurry, what’s your hurry?”
Li Ge: “…”
