Chapter 62: Then I’ll Sleep with Him—They’re Just Substitutes Anyway…

When these words came out of Wen Shijin’s mouth, they carried a sense of claiming ownership, as if Gu Si were an outsider.

Gu Si raised an eyebrow, his smile unwavering, making his face appear even more devilishly attractive. His voice was lazy as he said,

“He’s asleep? Perfect, I’m tired too. Then I’ll sleep with him.”

He could control everything, but he couldn’t control who he slept next to, right? After all, this tent was a shared sleeping space.

Wen Shijin furrowed his brows slightly and fell silent.

Gu Si smirked and walked toward the tent. Just as he was about to brush past Wen Shijin, the latter pursed his lips and spoke again,

“Her body was exhausted yesterday, and she’s been busy all day today. She needs proper rest. You… just keep it down and don’t wake her up.”

Gu Si raised an eyebrow and looked sideways at Wen Shijin for a moment before pulling off his earpiece with a click of his tongue.

“Why make it sound so dignified? You just don’t want me getting too close to Xiao Yan, do you?”

Wen Shijin’s expression remained as gentle and composed as ever. He responded calmly,

“Don’t flatter yourself. Not everyone is like you, thinking about unspeakable things all the time.”

“Oh? Is that so? Well, having one less love rival isn’t a bad thing either.”

Gu Si’s words were pure provocation. He stared at Wen Shijin intently, as if trying to see whether the calm and righteous facade he wore was truly genuine.

In the end, he was slightly disappointed. A block of wood was still a block of wood. No matter how much he tried to provoke him, Wen Shijin’s demeanor remained as refined and unshaken as ever.

Could it be that he was overthinking things? Did he mistakenly assume that Wen Shijin shared the same thoughts as him?

“It was just a joke. The only thing that could ever make the great academic Wen show emotion is probably those incomprehensible test papers in his dorm.”

Having lost interest, Gu Si scoffed and strode past Wen Shijin into the tent.

Meanwhile, Wen Shijin stood still like a deeply rooted pine tree, unmoving for a long time.

“Why does Gu Si love pulling off his earpiece so much?! Is there something my VIP membership doesn’t let me hear?!”

“LOL, Brother Si is too bold! Saying he’ll sleep with Yan Yan—did I hear that without paying extra?! I demand the production team install a camera in the guys’ tent!”

“Wen-ge is so good to Yan Yan, I’m crying! I wish I had such a gentle big brother!”

On the other side, Gu Si swaggered into the tent, but his actions were much gentler than before. He tiptoed over to Ning Qingyan’s sleeping bag and sat down, looking down at the sleeping youth.

With his face slightly puffed up against the pillow, Ning Qingyan looked like a little hamster. His long eyelashes cast neat shadows under his eyes, his messy chestnut-colored hair covered part of his brows, and his soft pink lips were slightly open, revealing half a white tooth—completely harmless and adorable to the point of melting hearts.

Green Tea System: “Gu Si’s favorability +5.”

Gu Si felt his heart softening. How could someone be this cute? Just watching him sleep, doing nothing, was enough to make him feel content for an entire day.

Mindful of Wen Shijin’s warning, he carefully rolled Wen Shijin’s sleeping bag farther away and then gently placed his own sleeping bag next to Ning Qingyan’s.

Mission accomplished! Gu Si was pleased with himself.

He had previously felt that something was wrong with his mind, instinctively keeping his distance from Ning Qingyan. But now that he had figured it out, he needed to restore their former best-in-the-world relationship!

As he thought about it, he began to undress. He was someone who valued comfort and hated feeling restricted, so he usually slept naked at home. Of course, since they were outside, he had to be mindful.

But summer nights were too hot, so he at least took off his shirt before slipping into his sleeping bag.

The program team had designed these high-tech sleeping bags with temperature-sensitive technology—when the weather was hot, the inside would be cool, and when it was cold, the inside would stay warm—to prevent the celebrities, who were unused to roughing it, from getting sick due to temperature fluctuations.

Lying down, Gu Si found himself unable to sleep as he stared at Ning Qingyan’s peaceful face. His mind wandered endlessly.

That soft pink mouth, slightly open as he breathed, those chubby white cheeks… They were too tempting. Who could possibly sleep like this? A man had to do something!

His heartbeat pounded like a drum. His face flushed. The more he thought about it, the more exciting it became. Half-rising from his sleeping bag, his toned back and muscular arms were exposed. His devilish face, now tinged with a blush, exuded a dangerously seductive aura.

Their faces were extremely close, warm breaths mingling. The soft pink lips were right there! His heart felt like it was about to explode.

At the same time, guilt surged within him. How could he do something like this while his “little brother” was sleeping?

The internal struggle and the temptation before him made him break out in cold sweat.

In the end, he didn’t dare go through with it. Instead, he only gave a light peck on Ning Qingyan’s soft cheek—so quick that he wasn’t even sure if he actually touched it—before hastily retreating into his sleeping bag.

But the lingering sensation on his lips told him he definitely had.

Green Tea System: “Gu Si’s favorability +5.”

His heartbeat gradually returned to normal. Raising a hand to touch his lips, he couldn’t help but smile and lightly lick his canine teeth.

He was so happy he could burst.

But after the joy came self-loathing. He questioned if he was sick in the head, disgusted by his own perversion. If Xiao Yan ever found out, he would surely despise him.

Damn it, he had been single for so long, and now that he finally liked someone… it had to be a guy!

And worst of all, Ning Qingyan had clearly stated before that he liked curvy, soft girls. He couldn’t even chase him openly.

If Ning Qingyan were a girl, he would have gone all in, sticking to him relentlessly!

But… he wasn’t.

So he had to bottle everything up inside, stay by his side as a “brother,” and only let go once Ning Qingyan found his happiness.

On the other side, Ning Qingyan had woken up as soon as Gu Si entered the tent. Though Gu Si had tried to be careful, she was still sensitive enough to notice.

She had kept her eyes closed, knowing he didn’t want to wake her, so she simply pretended to stay asleep.

But then… he actually kissed her cheek.

Her shock was on par with hearing Huo Qi tell her she had to be the top!

No wonder these two, the leading men in a supposed no-romance story, had no female leads despite being rich, handsome, and capable.

Turns out, they were secretly gay!

She had only wanted to build up their brotherly goodwill, waiting for the ever-oblivious Wen-ge to discover her secret and deepen their bond.

But it seemed like her actions had awakened something hidden in them. Maybe they hadn’t even realized their preferences until now.

But the problem was… she was actually a girl! She wasn’t a top!

If they ever found out… wouldn’t that cause utter chaos?!

Ning Qingyan suddenly felt her life was at risk. It was time to seriously consider moving into that secluded villa outside the city.
