Chapter 64
Men seem to have this instinct: when emotions are at their peak, without the control of reason, their hands will spontaneously break free from all restraints, drill into all gaps, and wander everywhere.
The light-colored sweatshirt fabric was piled up on his chest, and the slim-fitting black long pants were a little loose.
“Wait, wait,” Shen Wu regained his reason and asked, panting, “Huaizhi-ge, is there something we haven’t confirmed?”
“What?”
“You… are you the top, or the bottom?”
Meng Huaizhi was silent.
This was clearly a superfluous question.
At this moment, Meng Huaizhi was on top. To him, everything was a matter of course, so he did not ask.
But Shen Wu had asked. When the question was asked, the answer was already obvious.
Meng Huaizhi had no choice but to stop, “Didn’t you always say something about… chasing your wife to the crematorium?”
“…I’ve already said, the wife in the ‘chasing your wife to the crematorium’ scenario is not me,” Shen Wu was powerless to argue.
“But you’re still willing to accept me…”
Shen Wu was silent.
A sexless marriage is actually not impossible? They say that sexual orientation is fluid. Maybe one day, one of them will change from a 1 to a 0?
Meng Huaizhi scratched the stray hair on his forehead and sat up straight.
Shen Wu couldn’t help but sigh. Even with his desire burning like this, Meng Huaizhi could still endure it. As expected of a high-and-mighty flower.
He thought for a moment and suggested, “Then today… we’ll also use our hands?”
Soon, he felt a dizziness that was even stronger than a kiss. His mind was blank, and he couldn’t say an extra word.
Meng Huaizhi sealed his lips again, leaving no gap, not even letting him breathe.
He couldn’t really tell, but he felt that he was quite angry.
…
Several times, Shen Wu remembered the fan fiction he had read before. The Meng Huaizhi in the fan fiction was not a shining superstar, but he was also called Teacher Meng Huaizhi.
What’s more, that fan fiction was just like the current situation, just one step away. So much so that the readers had passionately built a few hundred floors of high-rise buildings, frantically spamming: Meng Huaizhi! Are you not good enough!?
It wasn’t that the CP fans couldn’t imagine Meng Huaizhi’s dazed and infatuated look. Even if Shen Wu had seen it with his own eyes, besides the overly high body temperature and the scorching breath, Meng Huaizhi’s cold and stern face had not changed much.
His features and skin tone were naturally cold. Only his eyes had become particularly deep, and a raging fire was burning under the dark surface.
And… his lips had become a little redder and more moist. His lips were moist, but he was thirsty and couldn’t bear it, repeatedly seeking from Shen Wu’s lips, as if he were the only source of water in the desert.
“Teacher Meng…”
“…Mm?”
“Are you… not good enough?”
“…Do you want to try?”
“…” Shen Wu had spoken too quickly and was now suffering the consequences. He hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, “I don’t.”
Meng Huaizhi was unconcerned, “Mm.”
Shen Wu was anxious, “I don’t, really. It’s not the ‘no’ in the movies. No, no, I mean, I’m also… the top. I’m not lying to you, I’m really not lying… gege.”
No one would believe what he said at this time.
Shen Wu was annoyed and could only call him gege again and again, trying to awaken the half of Meng Huaizhi’s body that was his brother.
After much persuasion, Meng Huaizhi finally let go of him and bit his lower lip as a punishment.
Recently, Racing Heartbeat, which had finished filming for several months, was finally going to be broadcast.
Shen Wu was one of the main actors. He happened to have free time, so he went back to the country to attend the opening press conference of Racing Heartbeat.
Meng Huaizhi and Qi Song were both in the industry and generously participated as special guests, which also brought an amazing amount of popularity to the small TV series press conference.
After the press conference, the people present were divided into two groups. One was a small gathering of the main creative team, and Shen Wu left with the two special guests.
Qi Song took the two young people and deliberately made a detour to Xu Qiongya’s residence to pick her up.
He had waited for Xu Qiongya for more than twenty years and had plenty of patience. The last time they were photographed in the audience of the F1 race, it had caused excessive speculation among netizens. Although those rumors had long been suppressed, Qi Song would still try his best to avoid meeting Xu Qiongya alone to avoid making things difficult for her.
A large group of people having a meal together was a legitimate reason.
Qi Song had a habit of smoking, but Xu Qiongya and Meng Huaizhi, who were present, did not smoke, so he gave the excuse of going to the bathroom and temporarily left.
With no outsiders present, Xu Qiongya suddenly asked the two of them, “There’s something I’ve always wanted to ask… Wuwu, a wedding might only happen once in a lifetime. Are you still planning to have a make-up wedding?”
This question was so sudden that Shen Wu choked on his water and coughed twice.
Seeing this, Xu Qiongya immediately frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion. Shen Wu was busy coughing and missed the best opportunity to explain.
Meng Huaizhi simply told the truth, “Auntie, we were only in a contract marriage back then, to deal with my grandfather, so we didn’t have a wedding.”
Hearing this, Xu Qiongya was not too surprised, “No wonder… I was just saying.”
She paused and then asked, “Then you two now…?”
Meng Huaizhi said, “It should be… we’re dating, not for long.”
Shen Wu choked on his water again.
How did a dinner suddenly turn into meeting the parents? And why is dating more nerve-wracking than getting married?
Xu Qiongya smiled, quite open-minded, “Then you’re dating now, so you’ve saved the trouble of getting married.”
“We have to have a wedding, and we have to propose first,” Meng Huaizhi quietly held Shen Wu’s hand under the table, thought for a few seconds, and continued to say to Xu Qiongya, “Now… we haven’t confessed yet.”
Xu Qiongya was about to say something but stopped. After a long while, she changed the subject, “Why isn’t Qi Song back yet?”
Seeing her looking around worriedly, Meng Huaizhi took the initiative to stand up, “I’ll go and see.” It was also more convenient for him to go.
The mother and son were left facing each other at the four-person table.
Xu Qiongya moved to Meng Huaizhi’s seat and whispered to Shen Wu, “So, you haven’t officially confirmed your relationship yet?”
Shen Wu didn’t know if it counted and hesitated with a “mm.” He didn’t know why they were already married, but Xu Qiongya was still tangled over whether they had confirmed their relationship.
“You’re almost 24, not young anymore, and Huaizhi is already 28…” Xu Qiongya felt that her son’s handsome face was full of naivety and helplessly reminded him, “When I was 24, you could already walk.”
Shen Wu frowned, even more confused, “Huaizhi-ge and I can’t have a child.”
Xu Qiongya was disappointed, “Ai, am I talking about having a child?”
Shen Wu looked at her with a confused expression.
“It’s so embarrassing for a mother to have to tell you this,” Xu Qiongya lowered her voice even more. “Men’s needs in that aspect are stronger. Don’t you two… need it?”
Shen Wu: “……….”
He felt a little restless and randomly found an excuse, “I’m also going to the bathroom.”
“What bathroom are you going to?” Xu Qiongya looked at him with a suspicious expression and pulled him back.
And on the other side, smoking was strictly forbidden in the restaurant. Qi Song had finished a cigarette outside and came back, planning to go to the bathroom to wash his hands.
The bathroom of the high-end restaurant was spacious and bright. When Qi Song walked in and lifted his eyes, he noticed the man in black pants and a black shirt, who was slowly washing his hands with his head lowered.
That man was wearing a windbreaker and casual pants. Qi Song, who was also wearing all black, walked over, and his crisp suit formed a sharp contrast with the other person.
Qi Song stood next to the man to wash his hands and caught a glimpse of the DSLR camera hanging on his chest.
The man in the windbreaker’s expression did not change. He turned off the faucet, turned around, and quickly left.
He walked to the entrance of the bathroom calmly, but when he looked up, he unexpectedly met a tall figure.
The two of them recognized each other’s identity in an instant.
Meng Huaizhi frowned. The man in black shivered, put on his hat, squeezed out from the gap next to him, his steps getting faster and faster, his panic undisguised, and he soon disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
“Huaizhi…” Qi Song also walked over, noticed that Meng Huaizhi’s expression was not right, and looked at the man in the windbreaker who was walking away. “Do you know him?”
“Mm, an acquaintance,” but Meng Huaizhi’s tone did not match the meaning of these two words at all.
Qi Song sensed a clear annoyance in his tone and couldn’t help but be taken aback. He had a guess, “Is that… a paparazzi you know?”
“Mm,” Meng Huaizhi said. “That’s Ji Yu.”
“The famous number one paparazzi now? I haven’t been active for the past few years, so I don’t know about these things,” Qi Song murmured. “I don’t know how he got into the restaurant…”
Paparazzi relied on artists for a living, so to speak, artists were their bread and butter. And Ji Yu was a rare “number one dog skin plaster” in the industry who had made enemies on all sides, was notorious, and had not backed down despite various threats and warnings.
His revelations were almost all earth-shattering scandals. What was most annoying was that, compared to “extorting” hush money from celebrities, he was more inclined to expose the scandals to earn traffic money. He often skipped the negotiation process directly and would often wait until the exposed artist saw themselves on the trending list to know what had happened.
Qi Song was not sure and asked Meng Huaizhi again, “Is he here to film me, or to film you?”
“I’m not sure,” Meng Huaizhi shook his head lightly. “It’s fine. No matter what it is, I’ll handle it.”
After a few peaceful days, Ji Yu and his team seemed to be brewing a big move. They chose a weekend night with the best traffic to release a vague revelation.
#Suspected two-character top-tier star’s illegitimate child exposed#
Ji Yu posted on Weibo that he had gone to a restaurant for a meal and had run into a certain unmarried two-character top-tier star and his outsider lover, as well as his illegitimate child.
This groundless revelation was naturally met with a wave of ridicule.
[The top-tier star in the paparazzi’s mouth, we can first rule out our Huai-ge.]
[The two characters also don’t match. Could it be some obscure celebrity whose name I can’t call out?]
[LMAO, it’s Ji’s old trick. He has at least two dozen top-tier stars in his family.]
Ji Yu quietly waited for the heat to ferment. After the netizens had guessed all the two-character top-tier stars in the entertainment industry, he unhurriedly continued to release more news.
Ji Yu replied to a comment: If you don’t know this two-character, I’ll immediately pack up and go back to my hometown. And his illegitimate child, maybe it’s also a name you’re familiar with (smirks).
After a while, amidst the overwhelming doubts and curses, Ji Yu finally updated his Weibo and calmly released the photos he had secretly taken a few days ago.
Ji Yu had given up on Meng Huaizhi, this tough nut, a few years ago. It was also through long-term following that he had gradually become convinced that even if humans and apes were in a relationship, there would not be any scandals on this person.
This time, he had deliberately avoided Meng Huaizhi in the photos he had released, to avoid receiving a warning from a lawyer for infringement. He had only released the photos of Shen Wu, Xu Qiongya, and Qi Song.
As for Meng Huaizhi, he just needed to hint a little.
Ji Yu: Last week, after the Racing Heartbeat press conference, Shen Wu actually did not participate in the small gathering of the main creative team, but instead went to a high-end restaurant for a meal with Qi Song and a mysterious woman. The whole process was full of laughter and warmth~
Last week, the press conference of Racing Heartbeat had attracted great attention. Even passersby knew that Meng Huaizhi and Qi Song had participated together as special guests.
[I found that there were four sets of tableware on the table. Did Huai-ge go too?]
[I went to the press conference in person. The three of them did leave together. That woman didn’t seem to be there.]
[Holy crap, I feel like I’ve eaten an unprecedentedly huge melon, but the amount of information is a bit too much for me to sort out…]
[I get it. Shen Wu and Huai-ge knew each other before he entered the industry. If he’s a second-generation star, it seems very reasonable?]
[So Shen Wu is Film Emperor Qi’s illegitimate son… holy crap, awesome. No wonder he can make Huai-ge be so good to him and even have a meal with their family of three.]
[No wonder Film Emperor Qi and this woman went abroad to watch Shen Wu’s competition. So they’re his parents. I get it~]
The netizens’ guesses were gradually becoming ridiculous, but using their logic to connect all the shadowy things, it seemed that there was a bit of reason in the ridiculousness.
Even Meng Huaizhi couldn’t help but say, “What’s this?”
Du Chen felt that he probably didn’t have to work overtime today and was in the mood to mock Ji Yu a few times, “Ji, you dog, you’ve stumbled this time, right? You confidently exposed a fake melon.”
Last night, the netizens were so engrossed in eating the melon. When they woke up the next day, they pointed out all kinds of unreasonable points.
[Is Shen Wu a stage name? Or does he have his mother’s surname?]
[Too strange, right? Shen Wu doesn’t look like Film Emperor Qi either. If you have to say so, you can also say that Huai-ge is Film Emperor Qi’s illegitimate son (not serious).]
[If Shen Wu is really a second-generation star, he would have debuted in a drama a long time ago, right? Film Emperor Qi would definitely have a lot of good resources to give him. He wouldn’t have debuted as a second male lead.]
[Let’s disperse, let’s disperse. Eating any more melon is just giving money to Ji, you dog.]
Seeing that Ji Yu was about to suffer a backlash because of the fake melon, it was unknown whether someone was secretly pushing it, or if the netizens were just that powerful, but someone had actually dug up a street interview video from four or five years ago.
The host went over with a microphone, “Miss, can we ask you a few questions?”
The woman’s posture was graceful, and her manner was elegant. Her familiar appearance was exactly Xu Qiongya, “Yes, you can ask.”
A few unimportant questions were cut out, and it fast-forwarded directly to the most crucial question, “What type of man do you like?”
“Mm…” Xu Qiongya thought seriously for a moment. “Responsible and reliable, like my husband.”
The host was extremely surprised, “What? You’re already married?”
Xu Qiongya smiled, her eyes curving, “My son is already in university.”
At the end of the video was a special effect, and the host’s jaw dropped in surprise at Xu Qiongya’s words.
This was an interview from four or five years ago. At that time, Xu Qiongya was a few years younger than she was now. She had gone out shopping that day and had casually put on some light and elegant makeup, looking to be in her early thirties at most.
A young woman, a gentle smile, the familiar feeling on her was even stronger.
[Maye, the beautiful jiejie’s smile is exactly the same as Shen Wu’s.]
[Holy crap, I couldn’t tell from yesterday’s photos, but now they really look alike, so alike. I’ll call her mother-in-law first out of respect!]
[Could Film Emperor Qi really be Shen Wu’s dad???]
[This lady’s surname is X. She’s in the circle of rich wives. I can only say that she’s definitely not Qi Song’s wife. Everyone who knows how messy the rich and powerful are knows. I’ll just say this much.]
