Chapter 57

Xie Fuyi walked towards home while pondering the progress of the plot, sighing softly. Originally, Ye Yunshen was supposed to take Mu Ziming away from the club, but now… Well, the plot had once again gone awry.

As he reached the entrance of his apartment building, he was still contemplating countermeasures. It wasn’t until he saw the faint yellow halo emanating from the small window of his rented apartment that he paused. Instead of feeling warmth, he felt a tinge of fear— he almost forgot that there was a wolf in sheep’s clothing waiting for him at home!

Why did Bai Wuluo, with his perfectly fine mansion, choose to stay here and occupy his couch? Moreover, tonight, both the protagonist and the two potential love interests seemed to have their storylines disrupted by him…

Xie Fuyi pushed open the door heavily. The faint sound of the old television set filled the room, and Bai Wuluo was sitting on the couch. Upon hearing the door open, he turned his head, “Xie Ge, why are you back so late…”

But his words paused as he saw Xie Fuyi and his eyes fell on the expensive new shirt Xie Fuyi was wearing.

He had previously changed back into the good little brother’s clothes, intending to excuse himself to pick up Xie Fuyi. However, when he left, Xie Fuyi was nowhere to be found, and his phone was off. He had no choice but to come home and wait.

He had originally been somewhat annoyed at the thought of Xie Fuyi walking around in tattered clothes, but now that he was back, he was unexpectedly wearing a custom-made shirt.

Bai Wuluo’s eyes flickered with fluctuating emotions, but he curiously asked, “Brother, why did you change your clothes?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Fuyi’s gentle eyes flashed with rare guilt. He forced himself to remain calm and replied, “My clothes got damaged during filming today, so I wore the costume from the crew.”

“Oh, I see…” Bai Wuluo squinted his eyes, elongating his tone.

Would crew clothes be made so exquisitely? Who did the other party meet after leaving the club?

Anger churned in Bai Wuluo’s heart, but as the obedient little brother, he naturally couldn’t know about these things, nor could he question them.

Seeing the small wolf pretending to be innocent in front of him, Xie Fuyi secretly sneered, still pretending?

He looked at the faint bruise at the corner of Bai Wuluo’s lips, pretending to be concerned, “Wuluo, what happened to your mouth?”

“Oh, this…” Bai Wuluo paused for a moment, touching his lips with his thumb. There was a hint of inexplicable amusement in his dark eyes as he sighed helplessly, “I made my little girlfriend angry.”

Xie Fuyi: …He shouldn’t have asked, knowing you’re shameless.

Seeing Xie Fuyi sitting somewhat absentmindedly on the side, covering up the darkness in his eyes, Bai Wuluo casually said, “Brother, haven’t you had dinner yet? Let me cook some noodles for you…”

He sounded concerned as he got up and went to the kitchen.

Bai Wuluo moved quickly and soon came out with a bowl of noodles, topped with a fried egg.

Xie Fuyi looked somewhat touched, finally regaining some normalcy in his expression. He forcibly pushed away the memory of his recent ordeal and looked at the person in front of him with a gentle expression and said, “Wuluo, thank you.”

Bai Wuluo half propped up his head, smiling as he watched Xie Fuyi eat, “As long as Brother enjoys it.”

After Xie Fuyi finished eating, Bai Wuluo cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen.

Xie Fuyi began to feel drowsy in no time. He stood up and yawned, “I’m a bit tired today. I’ll go to bed first, Wuluo, you should rest early too.”

Bai Wuluo tidied up and leaned against the door, blinking, “Brother, the couch is too small, I can’t stretch out. Can I sleep with you?”

Xie Fuyi was always accommodating, and seeing the cautious look in the other’s eyes, he agreed, “Of course.” He made room on the bed and said warmly, “It might be a bit cramped.”

“It’s okay, I just want to sleep a little.” Bai Wuluo’s eyes were filled with a smile as he quickly lay down on the outer side.

After all, the bed was only 1.2 meters wide. With two tall men lying on it, they were almost flesh to flesh, squeezed together.

Xie Fuyi was particularly tired today, and his eyelids were heavy. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the dark night, his breathing gradually became steady, but Bai Wuluo beside him opened his eyes at this moment and softly called out to Xie Fuyi, “Brother?”

No one responded.

Bai Wuluo curled his lips and put something in his mouth. After all, the other party’s martial strength was too strong. Previously, he could only keep his promise and touch lightly with his hands, but now…

He slightly turned his body, embraced the person in his arms, and slowly slipped his palm under the thin blanket. The man who had resisted forcefully before, was now unaware, allowing him to touch freely.

Although Xie Fuyi’s body was too tired to open his eyes, his mind was clear, and he wished, he could really fall asleep!

…

The next day, Xie Fuyi opened his eyes, and his pajamas were still neatly arranged.

However, when he went to the bathroom to change clothes, he saw that the marks on his body had not only disappeared but had deepened! Especially the two marks on his chest…

His T-shirt couldn’t be worn anymore; the redness was too obvious. And he couldn’t find the shirt he wore last night either.

Xie Fuyi guessed it must be related to Bai Wuluo. While searching in the closet, he casually asked, “Wuluo, did you see my shirt from yesterday?”

Bai Wuluo leaned against the door, watching Xie Fuyi search for clothes, squinting to conceal the hidden light in his eyes. “I didn’t see it either, brother. If you can’t find it, just wear mine.”

He handed over a pure white hoodie, a comfortable fabric that could also cover the marks.

“Thanks.” Xie Fuyi could only take it and put it on.

This guy wouldn’t throw away that expensive, custom-made shirt just because he wore another man’s clothes, right?

…

For several days, Xie Fuyi arrived early at the set every time. He was handsome, gentle, performed well, got along well with everyone, and everyone liked him.

The filming went smoothly, but Mu Ziming’s gaze always seemed to sweep over him.

Xie Fuyi never had a chance to implement his malicious cannon fodder plan because, after the previous Weiya incident, the set had become stricter in all inspections.

Xie Fuyi didn’t have many scenes, and today’s shoot was done. When he finished, Xiao Yuanxi’s car was already parked outside.

Seeing him, Xie Fuyi waved and smiled, “Xiao Ge, sorry for keeping you waiting last time.”

Xie Fuyi owed the other person a meal before. Today, he was planning to treat him, and since he finished shooting, it was a good time to celebrate together.

Xiao Yuanxi smirked, leading his people into the car. “So, today I came to pick you up in person. You can’t escape anymore. Let’s go, have you decided what you want to eat?”

Xie Fuyi fastened his seatbelt, smiling, “Follow my lead, the taste will be good for sure, just not sure if you’ll like it.”

Xiao Yuanxi raised an eyebrow. When he followed Xie Fuyi’s lead and arrived at the destination, he understood what Xie Fuyi meant.

It was a very small restaurant, with simple tables and chairs placed outside the door.

Perhaps his expression was too obvious, Xie Fuyi explained with a smile, “I guess you’ve had all kinds of delicacies before. Even the best restaurants like Xigulan Ya in your eyes aren’t worth mentioning. So, why not try the taste I like?”

Xiao Yuanxi rarely saw him with such a gentle and sly look in his black eyes, feeling a stir in his heart. He smirked and said, “Since it’s something you like, I definitely want to try it.”

No longer constrained, Xiao Yuanxi tossed aside his custom-made high-end suit jacket, unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and sat on a small stool.

Xie Fuyi ordered several specialty dishes, and after Xiao Yuanxi tasted them, the taste was indeed good. He didn’t mind the dirty and messy environment here anymore.

As they ate and chatted, Xiao Yuanxian mentioned the idol drama he had mentioned before, “Your scenes here are done, and coincidentally, the idol drama I mentioned before is about to start filming. The director asked if you could come for an audition tomorrow.”

Xie Fuyi nodded at the words, his black eyes sparkling, “I can go tomorrow. Thank you, Xiao Ge!”

Xiao Yuanyan looked at the trust in his eyes, feeling a warmth in his heart. He was about to say something when Xie Fuyi’s phone suddenly rang.

“I’ll take this call first.” He gestured slightly before answering.

“Hello, Wuluo.”

Xie Fuyi’s expression immediately became somewhat urgent after hearing what the other person said, “Where are you injured? I’ll come back right away.”

He hung up the phone and said to Xiao Yuanyan, “Xiao Ge, sorry, I have to go back. My little brother has some trouble.”

Xiao Yuanyan’s expression dimmed slightly. What, little brother? That Bai Wuluo, who had no relationship with him at all? What happened to make him so worried?

Xiao Yuanyan also stood up, comforting in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll drive you back. It’ll be faster.”

Xie Fuyi naturally wouldn’t refuse. After paying the bill, the two got into the car and drove off swiftly.
