Who Is He?

Su Ran was utterly stunned by the scene unfolding before him. From Fu Linxuan’s perspective, he was in the middle of an intimate moment with his boyfriend when suddenly someone crawled out from under the bed—anyone would find it both explosive and unbelievable.

The atmosphere in the room was now highly charged, particularly for Fu Qian’an, who was gripped by fear. Fu Linxuan’s glare seemed enough to kill him. Occasionally, Fu Qian’an would steal a glance at Fu Linxuan but didn’t dare meet his eyes. Fu Linxuan’s voice was laden with anger as he asked, “Why were you hiding under the bed?”

Fu Qian’an felt his heart might leap out of his chest; from the moment he was discovered until now, he had been trying to think of a plausible explanation, yet he was still at a loss for words. “I… I…” Before he could complete his sentence, Fu Linxuan kicked him into the wall, leaving him unable to stand, then stepped closer and placed a foot on his shoulder, “It’s not hard to guess what you wanted to do to Ran Ran.”

Su Ran was completely dazed and shrank at the head of the bed, too scared to speak. Fu Linxuan’s face was filled with a terrifying ferocity.

With another fierce stomp, Fu Qian’an screamed out in pain, his voice tearing. Su Ran turned pale from the shock, and Fu Qian’an begged for mercy repeatedly, “Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me…”

Fu Linxuan took a deep breath, “Ran Ran is someone you can covet?” He then picked up his phone and dialed a number, speaking coldly, “Send some people over, yes, to take out the trash.”

Hearing this, Fu Qian’an’s face was stricken with panic, feeling like he was beyond saving. He looked towards Su Ran, who was equally petrified, not understanding what Fu Linxuan meant by taking out the trash—surely he wasn’t about to literally dispose of a person, as that would be disastrous.

Su Ran looked at Fu Qian’an, who was now paralyzed on the ground. Swallowing hard, he couldn’t bear to see him beaten so badly, but he knew he had to save him before others arrived, unsure of what would happen to Fu Qian’an.

Slowly moving to the edge of the bed, Su Ran tugged at Fu Linxuan’s sleeve, “Gege… it’s okay, look, I’m fine too, let him go, he looks quite pitiable.”

Fu Linxuan sat down beside him, rubbed his head, and said, “Ran Ran, you are too kind. Why feel pity for him? It’s good that I came back today. If I hadn’t, do you know what terrible things could have happened?”

Su Ran hesitated, then asked quietly, “So what are you going to do with him?”

Fu Linxuan replied, “Since he dared to covet you, he must pay a severe price. Someone will come to deal with him soon, and he won’t be allowed back into the Fu family. The Fu family won’t let such a beast through its doors.”

Hearing this, Su Ran realized the seriousness of the situation; Fu Linxuan must think Fu Qian’an intended to force him, so now Fu Qian’an might be disabled if not beaten to death. And being barred from returning to the Fu family was a severe punishment.

At this moment, Fu Qian’an looked up at Su Ran with a begging gaze, “Ran Ran… save me, just tell the truth to my brother.”

Su Ran looked at Fu Linxuan, biting his lip, as Fu Linxuan looked back at him and frowned slightly, “Ran Ran, are you hiding something from me?”

Su Ran was afraid to face him, pondering if telling the truth would provoke Fu Linxuan’s wrath. But if he remained silent, Fu Qian’an could be ruined.

After a moment of thought, Su Ran took a deep breath and decided to save Fu Qian’an, “Gege… we indeed deceived you.”

Fu Linxuan was taken aback, his gaze deepening, “What did you lie to me about?”

“Actually…” Su Ran’s eyes reddened from fear, his voice trembling, “Gege, it’s true I met Fu Qian’an online, but… we are actually in a romantic relationship.”

By confessing the truth, Fu Qian’an’s earlier behavior wasn’t premeditated assault, so he hadn’t committed an unforgivable error. He could still enter the Fu family’s doors, but they would definitely be held accountable for conspiring to deceive Fu Linxuan.

Fu Linxuan froze, his forehead veins throbbing. Su Ran, watching him, felt his expression seemed even more terrifying than before.

Suddenly, Fu Linxuan chuckled lightly, covering his face, frightening Su Ran into paleness. He thought perhaps it was better not to have confessed. Then Fu Linxuan lowered his hand and looked at Su Ran, his eyes reddening, “So, you two conspired against me?”

Su Ran saw his somewhat crazed look and didn’t dare to speak. Then, Fu Linxuan stood up, looking menacingly at Fu Qian’an, “You two are lovers?”

Seeing Fu Linxuan’s current state, Fu Qian’an truly feared for his life, and the tone seemed somewhat bitter.

For a moment, Fu Qian’an wasn’t sure if he should admit it. He wanted to return to the Fu family, and his recent maneuvering with the family was just to gain more. If he truly couldn’t return, then he would be doomed. He shakily admitted, “Yes.”

Fu Linxuan took a deep breath, then turned to Su Ran, “So? Ran Ran, have you been deceiving me?”

Seeing his state, Su Ran was somewhat afraid to speak. Fu Linxuan’s hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, looking like he’d been betrayed by a scoundrel.

Su Ran was undecided; he had always thought someone of Fu Linxuan’s background would only be toying with him. From their online romance to their real-life meeting, he thought it was just a whim, but now it seemed serious.

He had assumed that someone as dominant as Fu Linxuan, despite being internally furious upon discovering such news, would maintain his dignity and not consider them serious. But seeing Fu Linxuan’s accusing eyes, it seemed like the hurt and disbelief of someone deceived by a scoundrel.

With this thought, Su Ran was jolted. He glanced at Fu Qian’an, who still hadn’t stood up. Clearly, if Fu Linxuan had truly developed feelings for him, Fu Qian’an was also in trouble.

Saving Fu Qian’an was now crucial. Su Ran immediately slipped out of bed, hugged Fu Linxuan’s arm, and soothed, “Gege, it was only like that at the beginning, but everything after was real.”

Su Ran softened his voice, looking up at Fu Linxuan with a contrived expression.

This one sentence noticeably softened Fu Linxuan’s demeanor, though he still appeared cold, “What became real?”

Su Ran pressed his face against his arm, “All those things I’ve said to you, everything we’ve done together, it’s all real. After spending time with you, I realized you’re much better than Fu Qian’an, Gege, you’re a hundred times better than him.”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Fu Qian’an looked at him in disbelief, “Ran Ran…”

Su Ran glared at him, “It’s all because of your bad ideas at first, but thanks to you, I got to know Gege. If it weren’t for your bad idea, I wouldn’t have met Gege.”

Fu Qian’an was utterly astounded, his lips trembling, feeling a surge of blood rush to his head, as if his ribs were kicked apart, every rise and fall of his chest excruciating.

“Gege, isn’t it also thanks to him that we met?” Su Ran raised his face, acting coquettishly.

Fu Linxuan’s expression completely softened, the previously grim and fierce demeanor now breaking into a smile. He overlooked the initial deception and even ignored Su Ran’s relationship with Fu Qian’an. Looking at Su Ran, who was now smiling sweetly at him, his heart felt tingling.

“Ran Ran is right,” Fu Linxuan said, then asked, “Now tell me, where am I better than him?”

Su Ran smiled at Fu Linxuan, then said, “Gege is better than him in every way. Gege is taller, has nicer muscles, is more handsome, and is very wealthy. Gege is also very generous to me, you’re better in every way.”

Hearing this, Fu Linxuan’s lips curled up, lost in the constant calls of ‘Gege,’ while Fu Qian’an felt each word was like spitting out blood, feeling utterly crushed by the end.

“Ran Ran baby is the best.” Fu Linxuan excitedly hugged Su Ran, lifting him off the ground, “Baby Ran Ran, you don’t have to stream here anymore, I’ve found a place for you, you don’t have to deal with this waste anymore, okay?”

Choked up, Su Ran covertly glanced at the half-dead Fu Qian’an on the ground, and could only agree, “Okay.”

Fu Linxuan smoothed his back, then said, “Pack up, we’re moving, to my place.”

Su Ran, “…”

After packing, Su Ran was pulled out by Fu Linxuan. Before leaving, he looked back at the lifeless Fu Qian’an, winking secretly, hoping he understood that this was just a temporary measure.

As the door closed behind them, silence fell inside the room. Fu Qian’an still sat against the wall, his face grey and his gaze vacant, tears soon falling.

Fu Linxuan’s villa was extremely luxurious, spanning five floors, and at this moment, he was in the top-floor bathroom, enjoying their enormous bathtub.

The bath reached his chest, topped with white foam, the room scented with aromatherapy. Su Ran leaned on a massage mat, supposed to be enjoying the experience, but he felt very nervous.

Then, the bathroom door opened, and Fu Linxuan entered with a bottle of red wine. He sat on the edge of the bathtub, setting down the wine and glasses, “Baby, enjoying the bath?”

Su Ran smiled at him, “Yes, very much.”

Fu Linxuan’s smile remained as he poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Su Ran. Su Ran’s hand emerged from the water, droplets sliding down his arm, his skin porcelain and pleasing to the eye.

Fu Linxuan clinked glasses with him, then drank down his wine, his Adam’s apple bobbing prominently.

“Let’s fulfill our wish to bathe together today.” Saying this, Fu Linxuan began to undress.

Su Ran watched him, his ears growing hot, then averted his gaze, feeling a bit at a loss.

Quickly, Fu Linxuan stepped into the tub, which was spacious enough for two more people, let alone just them.

Fu Linxuan saw Su Ran moving away and chuckled, pulling him back by his arm, “Why are you hiding?”

Su Ran bashfully responded, “I’m a bit shy.”

That look accelerated Fu Linxuan’s heartbeat. He leaned down to kiss him, their breaths mingling, soon immersing themselves in the moment.

But Fu Linxuan seemed unsatisfied. He lifted Su Ran by the armpits, seating him on his lap. In the water, their skin slid against each other, feeling slick.

Fu Linxuan broke from his lips, gazing at the person in front of him, his hands roaming over his smooth body, leaning in again to kiss his chin and neck. Su Ran squirmed from the ticklish sensation, while Fu Linxuan just watched him quietly, Su Ran not daring to meet his deep eyes.

Fu Linxuan’s hands were under his armpits, his gaze lowering. With Su Ran sitting on his lap, his chest was partially exposed, coyly veiled by the frothy bubbles.

“Baby is so beautiful,” Fu Linxuan said, staring at him, his thumbs pressing gently, circling around.

Su Ran “hmmed,” his shoulders tensing, his face full of helplessness. He looked at Fu Linxuan, “Stop…”

Fu Linxuan’s breathing grew heavy, his eyes never leaving Su Ran, kissing his lips over and over.

“It’s so uncomfortable,” Su Ran said with a tremble, his wet eyes imploring him to stop.

But Fu Linxuan felt his breath catch, his legs curling. Su Ran slid smoothly forward on his lap, pressing close to him. Fu Linxuan wrapped his arms around him, their bodies pressed tightly together.

A dizzy Su Ran, feeling something touch him, immediately widened his eyes, his face growing hotter, “Ge… Gege…”

The bathtub’s water was temperature-controlled, staying hot enough that prolonged soaking made the body feel heavy and numb, the steam pinkening their skin.

Fu Linxuan kissed his lips again, his hand caressing Su Ran’s lower back, then drifting lower. He leaned close to ask, “Ran Ran, are you ready to give yourself to me?”

Su Ran bit his lower lip, his eyes reddening, shaking his head repeatedly, “Not ready, Gege, I’m not ready.”

Fu Linxuan paused, then kissed Su Ran’s forehead, “It’s okay, we’ll take our time. I’ll wait for the day Ran Ran wants to give himself to me.”

Su Ran nodded fervently, also feeling Fu Linxuan’s restraint was a struggle. His legs moved up and down, Su Ran swaying on them, their bodies occasionally touching.

Soon, Fu Linxuan’s movements grew more urgent, Su Ran, frightened, clung to his neck, afraid of slipping down, his voice escaping intermittently.

Their slick skin stuck together, their breaths growing heavier, the temperature in the bathroom seeming to rise.

They played from dawn until dusk, and by the time they got out, Su Ran’s legs were weak.

Fu Linxuan, appearing dominant and fierce but treating him with gentle care, didn’t let Su Ran move on his own, lifting him from the bathtub, using the shower to rinse the foam from his body, and then letting him sit on a chair to dry him off.

He even helped him dress, and even the short journey to the car was done in his arms.

Now, Su Ran sat in the back seat, comfortably leaning back. Soon, Fu Linxuan wrapped his arms around him, letting him lean on his shoulder. Su Ran shifted all his weight onto him, feeling even more comfortable.

Drowsy, they reached the school gate. Su Ran, his eyelids fighting, yawned and said vaguely, “Gege, I’m going, see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow,” Fu Linxuan responded.

Just as Su Ran was about to exit the car, Fu Linxuan grabbed his arm. Turning to look, he saw Fu Linxuan smiling, saying, “What should you do before you can leave?”

“I almost forgot, Gege,” Su Ran sweetly said, then leaned in to offer his lips.

His lips pressed against Fu Linxuan’s, then his tender tongue licked his lips until Fu Linxuan opened his mouth, sucking his tongue inside.

After a while, the breathless Su Ran was finally let go, and this time he genuinely said goodbye, “Gege, I’m really going now, goodbye.”

Reluctantly, Fu Linxuan kissed his cheek before letting him go.

Su Ran felt like he had a sort of ‘bathroom syndrome,’ his head still dizzy. He stumbled back to his dorm.

Pushing the dorm door open, he saw that everything was as they had rearranged the day before. The desks were pushed to the window, and the two beds had been pushed together. Qin Yue and Pei Zhiyang were sitting on either side, looking at him as if they had been waiting for him.

“Why didn’t you answer your phone just now?” Pei Zhiyang asked first.

After going to Fu Linxuan’s, Su Ran had set his phone to silent, fearing it might cause more chaos. “Maybe I accidentally set it to silent, I haven’t checked,” Su Ran replied.

After speaking, Su Ran collapsed onto the bed, looking like he didn’t want to talk, just sleep.

“Ran Ran, you look so tired, what did you do today?” Qin Yue asked.

Today they had been kicked out of Fu Qian’an’s place not long after arriving, and after only a couple of hours of streaming, he shouldn’t be this exhausted.

“I’m just tired, stop talking to me, I want to sleep,” Su Ran muttered.

Pei Zhiyang gently patted him, “You should at least wash up before sleeping, otherwise, you won’t feel comfortable.”

“I washed already,” Su Ran mumbled.

Pei Zhiyang frowned, instinctively exchanging a glance with Qin Yue, sensing something was off.

Pei Zhiyang leaned close to Su Ran’s neck, gently sniffing, catching a scent he had never smelled before. Then Qin Yue also came over to smell, detecting it as well. Both looked doubtful, but seeing Su Ran’s state, they couldn’t ask anything more and just let him sleep.

Pei Zhiyang then stood up, looking at Qin Yue, and said coldly, “I’m going to change Ran Ran’s clothes, step aside.”

Qin Yue scoffed, staring back at Pei Zhiyang, “With my status, do I need to step aside? And isn’t it more appropriate for me to undress him?”

“You’re full of it, we’ve even bathed together before, how are you more suitable than me?”

Neither yielded, and even the sleeping Su Ran furrowed his brows. The two finally quieted down and together changed Su Ran’s clothes, each watching the other’s movements, wary of any advantage the other might gain.

In the deep silence of the night, with the lights off and the person on the bed breathing evenly, Pei Zhiyang turned over. He looked at Su Ran, feeling restless, and slowly moved his hand to Su Ran’s waist, his lips nearing to kiss his.

As their lips met, sounds rustled from the other side. Pei Zhiyang was immersed, but when he accidentally opened his eyes, his heart skipped a beat—to see Qin Yue propped up, watching him coldly.

“Damn, you’re scaring people in the middle of the night,” Pei Zhiyang whispered, barely restraining himself from punching Qin Yue to avoid waking Su Ran.

Qin Yue just scoffed, “I’m awake to keep an eye on you.”

They both knew each other’s intentions; after all, Qin Yue had just licked Su Ran the night before. He had to keep an eye on Pei Zhiyang.

Pei Zhiyang was left speechless and frustrated, “Go to sleep!”

With that, the dormitory quieted down again, and Su Ran slept sweetly, completely unaware of the conflict between the two.

The next day, Su Ran got up as usual, washed, had breakfast, then went to class.

After class, he headed straight to the school gate. In the morning, he had received a message from Fu Linxuan saying the streaming location was ready and he could go there for today’s broadcast.

At the school gate, he got into Fu Linxuan’s luxury car. As soon as he entered, he hugged him, “Gege.”

Fu Linxuan also embraced him, burying his nose in Su Ran’s neck, breathing in his scent, feeling the sweetness of being in love.

Twenty minutes later, Su Ran arrived at the streaming location Fu Linxuan had mentioned—a villa as luxurious as the one where Fu Linxuan lived.

Led by Fu Linxuan, Su Ran saw the interior setup, which was incredibly dreamy. His streaming room was especially so, making Fu Qian’an’s setup seem rudimentary by comparison.

“From now on, you’ll stream here,” Fu Linxuan said with a smile.

Su Ran excitedly hugged him, “Thank you, Gege.”

After starting the stream, his regular viewers immediately noticed he had changed locations.

“Baby changed places, huh? It’s beautiful!”

“Wife moved to a big house!! I’m so glad~”

“Wife, kisses kisses kisses.”

As the stream began, Su Ran saw both Qin Yue and Pei Zhiyang’s accounts sending gifts, seemingly starting a competition for the top spot again.

Soon, a message floated across the public screen, “Where did baby go? Why didn’t I know about the change of place?”

It was from Pei Zhiyang. Su Ran thought for a moment, then explained to his audience, giving them an account of the situation, “Yes, I’ve changed places. I’ve been wanting to for a while, and I’m very satisfied with this new place.”

He didn’t elaborate on how or why the sudden change happened. Smiling, Su Ran took a sip of water, then realized that today, only Pei Zhiyang and Qin Yue were competing for the top spot—Fu Linxuan hadn’t sent any gifts. Perhaps investing in the venue meant he wouldn’t be sending gifts anymore.

As he was lost in thought, the door suddenly opened. Su Ran turned around to see Fu Linxuan entering with a fruit plate, dressed impeccably as if he had even styled his hair just for this.

Caught off guard, Fu Linxuan had already placed the fruit plate on the desk. He ruffled Su Ran’s hair, “Baby, have some fruit.”

In the stream, only his lean waist and the deep tone of his voice were visible, as well as his lips and chin. The chat in the streaming room exploded.

“Ah! Who is that, who’s this wild man in baby’s room?!”

“Ah! Is that a boyfriend? He seems so handsome, let me ship this first!”

“Wife, do you have a boyfriend now? Wuuu, no man deserves you.”

“Baby, who is that? Patch us up!”

“Isn’t that the man who got you the new streaming room? He seems very capable.”

At that moment, the competition for the top spot halted, with Pei Zhiyang and Qin Yue in the school dormitory looking at each other in astonishment.

“Who is that man?”
