As soon as this question was asked, Shi Sheng’s body tensed up.

“Uncle, you also know that we’ve known each other for a long time… So it’s not a sudden impulse or a momentary love impulse,” he picked up the teacup, took a sip, felt like he hadn’t drunk it, and put it down. He was somewhat restless.

“We also know that some things aren’t just because you like me and I like you—” It was because of this that Lu Lin went to find you that day, and I’m sitting here today,” Shi Sheng took a deep breath, “I’m here to visit Uncle today to let you see our attitude. We are indeed serious.”

“Serious,” Lu Songnian smiled, his expression when he smiled was really similar to Lu Lin’s. “How serious. Without guidance from others, without a paper contract, relying only on the seriousness and trust now, how far do you think you can go?”

“Lin puts all his efforts into everything he does, but when it comes to relationships, it’s not just about feelings, it also requires rationality.”

“Men liking women, under normal circumstances, is instinctive. Sometimes, after spending a long time together, he will find that the intimacy between brothers and the intimacy between men and women are two different things.”

Shi Sheng wanted to speak but stopped, Lu Songnian crossed his legs and raised his hand.

He blinked, unable to speak, but maybe Uncle didn’t know how close they were…

“Uncle, when you invest, you evaluate risks. But you still invest despite the risks, right?” Shi Sheng thought for a moment, then stood up. “Actually, I know you’re afraid that we’ll regret it, but as for this path, I’m not sure about Lu Lin, but I’ve thought it through.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Shi Sheng replied, “We don’t necessarily have to reach the end, but as far as we can go, we’ll go.”

…

When Lu Lin called, Shi Sheng was lying on the sofa reading the Mary Sue novel written by Lu Yin. There was a Bilibili account associated with the studio, which livestreamed every week, and it was his turn today. Lu Yin asked him to bring her book along for some promotion.

“No problem, anything for my sister-in-law.”

“How did it go? Any good or bad results?” Lu Lin asked him.

“Well—your dad asked me to stay a few more days, and the guest room is all set up now. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Shi Sheng propped his head on his hand, grinning.

“…How did you manage that?”

“I appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him—”

Lu Lin was still somewhat worried, “Wait for me at home tonight.”

“The road is so long, don’t you usually stay out?” Shi Sheng sat up on the sofa and casually asked.

“…silly, how could I not come home when you’re at my place.”

“Oh.”

Shi Sheng hung up the phone with a smile, just as Lu Yin came out dragging her slippers, giving him a disdainful look, “What’s up? Just finished talking to my brother on the phone, and you’re smiling like you’re in love.”

Shi Sheng grabbed a cushion and threw it at her.

He waved the iPad in his hand, pointing out a TXT file to her. “Explain this, Miss Lu. Why are you still writing fanfiction about me and your brother, and it’s from two years ago, you, you, you—”

Lu Yin snorted, “My brother begged me to write this back then. Otherwise, how could this distinguished writer have the leisure to do this?”

Sheng was taken aback, “Lu Lin begged you to write this?”

“Yeah.”

He made a motion of putting on reading glasses, “Then I better take a good look.”

“…”

Shi Sheng finally understood. He had actually come to Lu Lin’s house for an archaeological dig.

The TXT document was very short, about a hundred thousand words or so, telling the beautiful love story of the God Emperor Lin and the ninth son of the Demon Emperor, Shi Wusheng.

As he read, Shi Sheng felt that something was off. God Emperor… Demon Emperor…

In the novel, Shi Wusheng was described as having short hair that was colorful and white, turning blue when crying and red when excited. His fair skin would leave a red mark when pinched, and a tear mole at the corner of his eye was stunningly beautiful.

Later, they both traveled to modern times, and Shi Wusheng became a business elite, imprisoned and tortured by the mafia boss Lu Lin.

“Shi Wusheng kneeled with his legs spread, the posture very standard, with the heels of his shoes against his butt, the suit pants tightly clinging to his thighs. Lu Lin approached, grabbed his hair, and sweat dripped down his throat as he swallowed.”

“Shi Wusheng’s hair slowly turned blue.”

Whoa.

Shi Sheng forwarded it to Lu Lin with a single click and typed in the chat box, “I heard you begged your sister to write this?”

Red 53: Handcuffs, might be worth trying.

Shi Sheng spent another half afternoon finishing the novel. He was amazed by Lu Yin’s skill. When it was time for the live broadcast, he resolutely brought along this book.

After hearing about it, the studio’s operations team changed the title for publicity purposes, calling it “A Magical Everyday Life of a Lowly UP Being Written into the Original Danmei as 0,” and soon the number of views began to soar. The comments section couldn’t help but exclaim: “To read a novel based on oneself is quite thrilling,” (Excited)

Comment: What are you excited about!

Comment: Prodigal, UP being *.

Comment: It sounds like the real person is even better than the novel, hahaha.

Feng Guoqiang also came to find Shi Sheng and asked if his jealous boyfriend was available, suggesting they make some videos to attract traffic based on that. Shi Sheng looked at “jealous boyfriend” and pondered for a moment, before remembering it was the excuse he used when he refused Feng Guoqiang for car scenes before.

But it seems that someone is indeed quite jealous, hehe.

Shi Sheng politely declined the idea of selling out for traffic, not wanting to involve Lu Lin.

In the evening, Lu Lin came back.

Shi Sheng leaned out the window, watching Lu Lin park the car and come back carrying food. He waved when he saw him, then went inside the gate. Shi Sheng wanted to run downstairs, but was afraid of being spotted by Lu Lin’s dad, so he waited for him upstairs in his room.

Lu Songnian was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper.

“You’re back?”

“Mm.” Lu Lin took three steps upstairs.

“Come down.” Lu Songnian put down the newspaper. “You can’t escape by hiding upstairs. Tell me, when was the last time you came back to this house?”

Cui Hong hurriedly came out and gave Lu Songnian a reproachful look. “He just got home. What are you scolding him for?”

“I’m not scolding him. Look at where his heart is flying off to! If it weren’t for Chengxin, I might have died without him knowing.”

“Hey, Dad, here’s the drunken duck I brought you,” Lu Lin handed over the food in his hand, symbolically squeezing his shoulder. “Look, your son still remembers you—You eat first, I’ll go up and see him.”

Lu Songnian threw the newspaper aside, but Lu Lin had already hurriedly rushed upstairs.

“This child,” Cui Hong shook her head with a smile. “No wonder you wanted Shi Sheng to stay. It turns out you had this plan in mind. It’s good to stay a few more days. You can see Lu Lin every day and not have to worry about him all the time.”

Lu Songnian snorted coldly and went back to the study with his hands behind his back.

Shi Sheng was peeking from the door crack. Seeing Lu Lin rushing upstairs, he quickly opened the door and waved his hand. “I’m here.”

“Why are you sleeping here? Come to my room tonight.”

“No, I’ll be found out in the morning…”

Lu Lin came in, and Shi Sheng quickly closed the door, acting like a seasoned thief. He turned around and leaned against the door, grinning.

“Welcome back, Young Master Lu.”

“I’m back.” Lu Lin pressed him against the door, lowered his head, and lifted his chin to kiss him. “Did my dad give you a hard time?”

“To be honest, I think your dad is pretty good. Look, he talks to you and talks to me, never saying we’re abnormal or anything,” Shi Sheng nodded for a moment and whispered, “…I think your dad is already very open-minded. He just needs some time to accept.”

“You’re right.” Lu Lin’s mind was obviously not on this. He kissed Shi Sheng again, who tried to dodge and talk about serious matters, but was pulled back again. The faint sound of kissing filled the room, and Shi Sheng’s ears turned red.

For some reason, he thought of the scene from his sister’s novel where Shi Wusheng was covered in bruises from Lu Lin’s kisses.

No, he shouldn’t think about it anymore.

Lu Lin ruffled his hair and went to take a shower first.

Sometimes, after a busy day outside, coming back to hug Shi Sheng and kiss him a few times, Lu Lin didn’t feel so tired anymore. After washing up, they didn’t have much to do, so they simply lay on the bed and played a few rounds of PUBG, chatting idly.

“I can still come back today, but I might be busy the next day and the day after. Are you sure you want to stay at my house for a few more days?”

“These days, there’s no work in the recording studio. As long as there’s equipment, I can stay anywhere,” Shi Sheng thought for a moment. “I’m trying to win your dad’s favor. Since he agreed to let me stay a few more days, I definitely can’t refuse.”

“Then call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Lu Lin rolled over, raised his hand to tap a few buttons, and suddenly shouted, “—Get down, get down! The circle is getting smaller, how can you still dare to stand!”

Shi Sheng was startled, and he accidentally pressed the crouch key into the jump key. In the moment of landing, he was successfully shot in the head by an AWM.

“Dare to shoot my wife—” Lu Lin shot one after another.

Shi Sheng pointed and muttered, “You have such a strong sense of revenge, like a primary school kid.”

Lu Songnian listened at the corner of the wall for a while, shook his head, and walked away. After all, they were just two kids. When they finished playing the game, Lu Lin hugged Shi Sheng and talked for a while. The whole family was quiet again.

I’m sleeping here tonight.”

“No, ” Shi Sheng lazily snuggled in his arms. “There are so many people in your house. Tomorrow when you leave my room, it’ll be too obvious.”

“I’ll leave early.”

“No—”

In the end, Lu Lin kissed Shi Sheng on the lips, as if sneaking around at home, and reluctantly got up to leave.

As he turned around to quietly close the door, Shi Sheng raised his hand and tilted his head, making a big heart with his hands. “Love you—”
