Lu Lin pushed open the door.

Shi Sheng, wearing noise-canceling headphones, didn’t hear anything and was completely immersed. Seeing Shi Sheng dubbing, Lu Lin suddenly felt like he had nowhere to vent his frustration and felt stifled, unable to speak.

“Shi Sheng, are you ready?”

Junzi Yu asked him through the headphones.

Shi Sheng was about to respond when suddenly a pair of hands hugged him from behind. He was startled and turned around, but his eyes were covered, and the sudden electrifying sensation of his back against the chest made his heart race. Meanwhile, Lu Lin’s other hand moved downwards, forcing Shi Sheng to tilt his head back and swallow saliva, his Adam’s apple moving.

This was breaking and entering…

With his eyes covered, Shi Sheng, relying on the rough sensation of his palm, recognized that Lu Lin had returned. The microphone had been moved closer, and a hoarse voice echoed in his ears.

“Why did you stop recording?”

“I…,” Shi Sheng was about to speak, but Junzi Yu’s voice came through the headphones, urging him, asking if he was still there. He silently closed his eyes, and as expected, Lu Lin’s grip on his hand tightened a little more.

Shi Sheng was suddenly pressed down on the table, the headphones were removed and thrown aside. Junzi Yu’s voice continued to come through, evidently calling for Shi Sheng, while a faint crackling sound persisted in the background.

Lu Lin’s hand went down savagely, pulling down Shi Sheng’s pants halfway. Amidst Shi Sheng’s struggles, he suddenly felt something invading him, and with a low moan, he begged softly.

He clutched the tablecloth, turning his head slightly as his shirt was pulled off, exposing his smooth, fair back. Shi Sheng breathed rapidly. Below, his entrance had already clamped down on Lu Lin’s fingers like it was savoring the taste.

“Lu Lin… Lu Lin, please don’t be angry…”

Lu Lin pressed closer, licking his earlobe. “What am I angry about?”

As Lu Lin’s finger probed higher, Shi Sheng trembled, his breath becoming even more erratic. He shifted his legs anxiously, but Lu Lin pinned them against his thighs, pulling his pants down below his knees.

With one hand pressing against his back, Lu Lin forced Shi Sheng’s upper body down onto the table, while the other hand undid his belt. The belt clattered to the ground beside Shi Sheng, and then he felt the back of his shirt being pushed up.

His ass beneath his narrow waist was completely exposed to Lu Lin’s gaze. The shameful situation turned his face crimson, and Lu Lin unceremoniously slapped his ass, pushing forcefully against him.

“No, please—”

Shi Sheng screamed as his legs were forcefully pinned down by Lu Lin, who thrust in and out vigorously.

Shi Sheng tightened his legs, the repeated sensation of being filled and stretched making him whimper and tear up, but it wasn’t as painful as he had imagined. The rigid shaft quickly rubbed against his sensitive spots inside, while Lu Lin’s balls slapped against his ass. With a loud smack, Shi Sheng couldn’t help but moan, Lu Lin’s five fingers weaving through his hair.

“Be good, moan louder.”

His body trembled incessantly, fear mingling with the pleasure brought by the thrusting. Lu Lin held onto his waist with one hand, forcefully pushing deeper, repeatedly thrusting and grinding. Shi Sheng couldn’t help but cry out, panting loudly.

His face was pressed against the tabletop, his eyelids reddening as tears welled up.

With Lu Lin’s rapid rhythm, his fingertips alternated between relaxing and tightening, his member between his legs rubbing against the edge of the table with each thrust, bringing a double sensation. He couldn’t see Lu Lin’s expression, only feeling him penetrating him with scorching heat over and over again.

“Ha… ha ah…”

Between his legs, milky fluid was carried out with each thrust, dripping down his ass and running down his inner thighs, dripping onto his partially pulled-down pants.

Shi Sheng’s entrance was completely exposed, allowing Lu Lin to play and tease at will. With each penetration, his waist contracted, raising his ass, making his legs unstable and trembling incessantly.

“Do you want to continue recording?” Lu Lin brought the microphone closer to Shi Sheng, amplifying his voice, but Shi Sheng shook his head, crying and pushing away the microphone.

Lu Lin then threw the microphone on the table, the sound of thrusting loud and urgent.

In the recording studio, Junzi Yu called out to no avail..

“Shi Sheng—”

Suddenly, Wu Nan er walked up from behind. Putting on the headphones, he propped himself on the table. He reached over Junzi Yu’s head and brought the microphone closer. Junzi Yu looked up at the movement, coming face to face with Wu Nan er’s chin.

“What are you doing?”

Wu Nan er adjusted the microphone and tested the sound, then glanced down at him indifferently. “Aren’t we supposed to record the car scene? My voice is similar to Shi Sheng’s, so I can accompany you.”

Junzi Yu fell silent. Wu Nan er cut off the communication with Shi Sheng and sat down nearby.

“Let’s get started.”

If Wu Nan er had turned his head at that moment, he probably wouldn’t have missed the enlarged smile on Junzi Yu’s face. He did indeed hint to the fans and privately talked to Feng Guoqiang, but the target was no longer Shi Sheng.

Meanwhile, in a certain recording room, the table continued to creak and sway.

In the evening, Wu Nan er and the others worried about Shi Sheng, fearing that something had happened to him, so they went to his house again.

As dusk fell, a golden hue lingered in the floating white mist, casting a breathtaking glow over the high and low buildings.

Wu Nan er took out his phone and snapped a picture. Retrieving the key from the flowerpot at the door, he changed his shoes in the foyer and walked into the living room before heading upstairs. He couldn’t find Shi Sheng anywhere.

It wasn’t until he stood at the door of the recording room that he frowned thoughtfully.

As mentioned before, Shi Sheng’s home had a grand piano in the living room just past the foyer. He had a room specifically designated as a recording studio, with one side made of glass instead of a load-bearing wall, allowing people in the studio to see into the living room. However, those in the living room couldn’t see into the recording studio.

At this moment, Shi Sheng was lying on the table, his face turned to the side, his gaze fixed on Wu Nan er.

Lu Lin had no intention of stopping his actions. The soundproofing of the recording studio was first-rate. Wu Nan er reached for the door handle, hesitating as he remembered the extra pair of shoes at the foyer.

In a flash of realization, he looked up and glanced at the one-way glass. His expression suddenly turned strange. Shi Sheng was panting, eyes closed in silence.

It really struck a chord.

Wu Nan er left, and Su Qi also called several times, but couldn’t reach him. She gave up on the idea of inviting Shi Sheng out for barbecue. As the night fell completely, the moon peeked out.

The door of the recording room opened, and after Lu Lin came out and went to the bathroom, he came back to hug Shi Sheng. He scanned the situation inside the room, and in the end, he had to clean him up.

As the water poured down, Shi Sheng hooked his hand around Lu Lin’s neck, feeling completely unstable. He knew he was in the wrong and dared not speak, so Lu Lin gave him a light pat.

“What’s wrong? You’re not saying anything now?”

“…But aren’t you… mad?” Shi Sheng whispered. “I’ve let you do this, can’t you…”

“Don’t be angry anymore, I didn’t intentionally want to act with Junzi Yu…”

“I’m not angry.” Lu Lin efficiently helped him clean up, and there was no hint of anger in his voice.

Shi Sheng lifted his head, “Then why did you, do this, and that?” His hands gestured, trying to make Lu Lin understand his meaning. If Lu Lin wasn’t angry, then why did he endure it all day?

“First, it’s work. Second, you didn’t turn on the mic. Why would I be angry?” Lu Lin touched his lips. “Were you unsatisfied these past few days?”

“…”

Lu Lin took a towel to help Shi Sheng dry himself, patted his head with a good mood, and ordered milk tea, burgers, and fried chicken as a reward. Shi Sheng nestled on the sofa watching the annual blockbuster, feeling more and more upset.

It turns out Lu Lin’s anger was all a show for him. He had started without a word, scaring him several times. Who knew this guy was actually secretly pleased. The smell of fried chicken wafted over, Shi Sheng sniffed, feeling more at ease.

He might lose the battle, but he would not lose the war. He had to let Lu Lin know that he wasn’t so easy to bully. From this moment on, he would be synonymous with standing firm.

After eating, Lu Lin took Shi Sheng for a drive.

They came to the riverside, where it was pitch black and the waves couldn’t be seen. In the distance, there were old men practicing tai chi swords, and next to them were middle-aged women dancing square dances, making it somewhat lively. Sheng leaned against the railing and casually slapped a mosquito dead.

“Can’t take you to the sea for the time being, so let’s come to the river first,” Lu Lin leaned on the railing and watched him for a long time, “There won’t be any vacation for a while, so I’m planning to save up my leave and reserve time for a trip.”

Lu Lin was actually quite ceremonial. Shi Sheng knew that the more serious he was about something, the more carefully he planned it. So when he mentioned traveling, it wouldn’t be a simple road trip.

Could it be a proposal? Shi Sheng tentatively raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t it progressing too fast? No, he gripped the railing tightly. He wasn’t ready yet.

“What are you thinking?” Lu Lin watched his changing facial expressions.

Shi Sheng coughed a few times, shook his head, and said there was nothing, feeling like he was overthinking.

“I’ve been on a business trip these past few days, and Lu Yin helped me find a good second-hand house,” Lu Lin touched his head. “I’ll go see it after work tomorrow. If everything’s okay, I’ll prepare to move in after the procedures are done.”

Shi Sheng nodded, “Okay, I’ll miss you.”

“Why? Won’t you be coming over?”

“Depends on my mood.” Shi Sheng arrogantly crossed his arms, the pseudo ‘standing firm’ officially in operation.

Lu Lin looked him up and down, smiled, and lifted him up horizontally, striding towards the parking lot.

The next day, there was no work in the recording studio, and Shi Sheng did feel relieved.

He remembered the thrilling scene from yesterday; Wu Nan er must have figured it out. Shi Sheng didn’t know how to talk to Wu Nan er the next time they met. But he really didn’t expect this guy to record the car scene for him.

Selling one’s voice for a friend, touching.

Shi Sheng sighed and then lay on the sofa. He was thinking about how to spend the day when a message popped up on WeChat from Lu Yin, inviting him over.

There was a mysterious smile in Lu Yin’s tone, “Although we’re not that close, someone wants to see you.”

Shi Sheng was stunned.

It was Lu Songnian.

Although he had often been to Lu Lin’s house before, things were different now. If Uncle Lu called him over like this, it was quite nerve-wracking.

“Do you think I should go?” Shi Sheng hesitantly asked Lu Lin.

“Don’t go; I’ll help you decline.”

“Okay.” Shi Sheng nodded, but then hesitated again after a while, “I’ll still go… As you said, an ugly wife should still meet her in-laws.”

Lu Lin laughed. “Already have the awareness to be my wife?”

“Shut up—” Shi Sheng tapped the phone screen in protest.

He had thought it over carefully. This matter had to be resolved, Uncle Lu was very cultured; he wouldn’t embarrass or ridicule him. And both sides needed to compromise to accept each other’s conditions. Shi Sheng couldn’t let Lu Lin shoulder the pressure from his family alone; he had to stand up and share the burden.

Love is supposed to be mutual.

“I’ll try to take leave to accompany you.”

“No need.” Shi Sheng said firmly, “I’ll go alone, you just focus on work.”

So in the afternoon, Shi Sheng drove his car to the Lu family home.

The small western-style house in the villa area stood in a prominent position. Lu Songnian was not a millionaire, but he was definitely a successful businessman. After taking over the Shiyu Group from Lu Lin’s grandfather, Shiyu quickly established a solid foundation internationally.

However, Lu Songnian’s focus was on Lu Chengxin, and he didn’t have many expectations for Lu Lin in the business world. Although every time Lu Lin went to the company before, acquaintances would half-jokingly call him “Young Lu,” in reality, Lu Lin had nothing to do with them.

He was just an ordinary firefighter.

“Uncle, good afternoon?” In the living room, Shi Sheng awkwardly greeted the man in front of him, remembering when he came to Lu Lin’s house for summer vacation in high school, Uncle was still polite to him. Unexpectedly, now that he was an adult, he had taken away their son. “It’s been a long time, Uncle.”

“I heard that you and Lin are together.” Lu Songnian calmly poured a cup of tea and pushed it over. “I want to know, how do you see Lin?”

“…He’s quite good, everywhere, um, I like him a lot…”

Under the tea table, Shi Sheng’s toes had already carved out a fantasy castle. What exactly was he saying?

“I believe that as adults, you both have the basic judgment ability and the right to choose, but are you two really prepared?”
