Chapter 61

Yan Zhao saw Ning Yunfan and Han Yuxuan.

It had been a long time since he had heard from Ning Yunfan. Although people say “Idols pay for their fans actions”, the one who sent death threats to the journalist was not him in person. He could have just focused on filming, avoided the public for a while, and then made a comeback. However, In the past few months, he seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, and even his contract with Xingren Entertainment was terminated. Song Jing also didn’t know which company he had gone to.

Ning Yunfan had lost some weight, making his face smaller and his eyes appear bigger, and looked even more pitiful. Standing next to Han Yuxuan, with his mixed-blood tall stature, he looked like a thin, frail bird.

When Yan Zhao looked over, he was talking to Han Yuxuan, with a careful and gentle demeanor.

Yan Zhao had no interest in their interaction, turned away his gaze, propped his elbow on the table, and his palm under his chin, to prevent himself from nodding off like a ‘chicken pecking at rice’.

Shen Yuanting said, “Take a nap for a while, after the wedding is over, we’ll go to the guest room to rest.”

The cruise ship would make a circuit along a short route, and they would spend two days and one night on the cruise, with the guest rooms naturally tidied up.

Yan Zhao could hardly hold on, and replied “Remember to call me,” then closed his eyes, and his eyelashes quietly drooped.

The wedding had two plans, and because the weather today’s weather was neither cold nor hot, with the sunlight warm but not scorching, Plan A was initiated, to be held on the deck. With the seats exposed under the sky, Yan Zhao, with his eyelids tightly closed, could still sense the bright colors of the sunlight.

The brightness gradually dimmed, and a warm, dry touch pressed against his eyelids, nose, and temples—It was Shen Yuanting who covered his eyes.

“Yo, what are you two doing?” Sheng Xin’s teasing voice came through.

Shen Yuanting: “He’s sleepy, don’t make a fuss.”

Sheng Xin lowered his voice: “Huh? Are you blocking the light for him? Is having a partner that impressive?”

Shen Yuanting: “It’s not as impressive as you getting dumped every time.”

Sheng Xin: “…”

Such a toxic mouth.

Sheng Xin said, “Hongyu, take a seat. I see there’s a billiard room on the second floor. I’ll take you there to play later.”

Yan Zhao then realized Ying Hongyu had also come. However, he always followed Sheng Xin, different from his on-screen image. In real life, he didn’t talk much, and his presence was not strong due to his quiet demeanor.

The eyelashes in the palm brushed lightly, which tickled him a bit, then Shen Yuanting said, “Be at ease.”

Yan Zhao hummed in response.

After a while, someone lightly patted his shoulder. Yan Zhao who was half-asleep, opened his eyes, his thoughts popped like a bubble then he woke up.

The bride’s white dress hem just slid through his peripheral vision. Shen Yuanting withdrew his hand from Yan Zhao’s shoulder. Yan Zhao looked up, and there were still only four people at their table.

He suspected that others who wanted to come were driven away by Shen Yuanting’s cold air.

Under everyone’s blessings, the bride and groom made their vows, hugged, and kissed. Yan Zhao clapped along. When the bride was about to throw the bouquet, his hand under the table was lightly scratched.

Yan Zhao turned his head.

Shen Yuanting: “Do you want it?”

Yan Zhao: “The bouquet? Let’s leave it for the other girls. I already have you.”

Shen Yuanting chuckled softly: “I was talking about the wedding.”

Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then whispered to Shen Yuanting: “You want to have one?” He was practical, content with just a marriage certificate. A wedding ceremony was optional for him.

Shen Yuanting lowered his eyes and said: “I want… everyone to know we belong to each other.”

A ripple spread through Yan Zhao’s heart, he smiled and said: “If you want it, then let’s do it”,

After the ceremony, guests went their separate ways. Sheng Xin took Ying Hongyu to play billiards, while Yan Zhao and Shen Yuanting went to find their guest room to rest.

The room was decorated warmly and comfortably. Yan Zhao threw himself onto it, hugging the pillow, wanting to sleep.

He rolled over, making space: “Accompany me.”

Shen Yuanting touched his face, stared at the dark circles under his eyes and said: “You sleep first. I’ll change your clothes.”

Yan Zhao closed his eyes and said: “Don’t take advantage of me.”

Shen Yuanting laughed helplessly, opened the wardrobe, and found the pajamas inside, all custom-sized according to the guests’ measurements, brand new, with a faint scent of perfume.

Shen Yuanting took out a set, placed it on the bed, and started to undress Yan Zhao.

Removing his suit, untying his tie, and then unbuttoning his shirt one by one, pale skin was revealed, and heaved with his breaths.

Shen Yuanting’s palms caressed his body, measuring every inch of his physique.

He had lost weight.

When the man’s palms brushed over the two points on his chest, he shivered slightly, emitting a very short whine, and muttered complaints: “Shen Yuanting… indecent…”

Shen Yuanting: “…”

He hadn’t intended to, but after being scolded, he actually wanted to do something indecent.

His fingertip stopped at his somewhat dry lips, and Shen Yuanting whispered, “I’ll let you off this time.”

After changing him into pajamas, Shen Yuanting loosened his tie, hung the jacket on the chair back, picked a book from the bookshelf, and sat on the edge of the bed to read.

The doorbell rang once.

He turned over to Yan Zhao, and seeing him still sleeping soundly, Shen Yuanting placed the book on the bedside table and went to open the door.

Ning Yunfan stood outside the door. When he saw it was him who opened the door, he was not surprised, but blushed a little.

He had been paying attention to Yan Zhao and Shen Yuanting’s movements at the gathering and knew they had gone to their room. Although Shen Yuanting was still properly dressed, but the two of them alone in a room, who knows what they could be doing.

Ning Yunfan asked, “Is Yan Ge here?”

Shen Yuanting: “He’s not available right now. Just tell me if you need anything.”

As expected.

Hearing Shen Yuanting’s response, Ning Yunfan was even more convinced they were doing something shameless; otherwise, why wouldn’t Yan Zhao dare to come out?

Seeing how affectionate these two were, he really felt a bit jealous…

Ning Yunfan felt intimidated under Shen Yuanting’s gaze and lowered his head, speaking to the floor, “I… came to apologize to Yan Ge. The last incident was due to my lack of thorough consideration when writing the article, but I really didn’t mean to target him.”

Shen Yuanting: “It’s been so long since that happened, and you’re only coming to apologize now?”

“I, actually, I wanted to apologize back then, but I…” Ning Yunfan bit his lip, “My phone was confiscated by Han Yuxuan.”

Shen Yuanting: “Is Han Yuxuan the head teacher?”

Ning Yunfan: “…”

Accustomed to Yan Zhao’s teasing, Shen Yuanting said without changing his expression, “Continue.”

Tears filled Ning Yunfan’s eyes, and his face turned red, “Han Yuxuan… he forced me to be with him and cut off my contact with the outside world. I wasn’t supposed to come today, but I begged him, and he reluctantly agreed.”

Shen Yuanting said coldly, “So, do you need me me to call the police for you?”

Ning Yunfan panicked. He originally wanted to act pitiful in front of Yan Zhao and then have Yan Zhao persuade Shen Yuanting to help him, but after speaking directly to Shen Yuanting, his plan was disrupted. Shen Yuanting seemed not to care at all…

If he were wise, he would find another way, but he couldn’t hold back anymore. In a few more months, his fans would have all but disappeared, and he wouldn’t be a star anymore. He didn’t want to play out a love story of physical and emotional abuse with Han Yuxuan, who was just a Teddy that couldn’t keep his lower half in check. Ning Yunfan had given up on him; he just wanted to climb to the top of the entertainment industry, to a position where he wouldn’t be controlled by that man, and he was willing to do anything for it…

Ning Yunfan sobbed, “Senior, please help me. I don’t want to live like this anymore… Han Yuxuan is off guard against me, I, I can serve as a business spy for you…”

Shen Yuanting frowned, “No need, you can go find someone else who needs this. I believe there are many people on this ship who fit the criteria. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”

As the door was about to close, Ning Yunfan frantically called out, “He has contacts with Shen Zhongkai! Did you know?!”

Shen Yuanting’s hand paused.

Ning Yunfan thought there was hope and eagerly said, “Shen Corporation is your father’s company, which should have been left to you, but now it’s been left to your stepmother’s son. Don’t you want to take everything back?”

Shen Yuanting gave him a cold glance and said, “What I want, I’ll take myself. Speaking of Han Yuxuan, does he know you took his proposal ring and have been flirting with Shen Zhongkai behind his back?”

After saying that, he closed the door mercilessly.

Ning Yunfan froze outside the door, feeling as cold as if he had been doused with water.

How did he know?

“Yunfan?” Han Yuxuan came from the end of the hallway, and said angrily, “Why did you run here? Didn’t I tell you to stick close to me?”

Ning Yunfan lowered his eyes and leaned in, whispering submissively, “There were too many people, and I lost sight of you in the blink of an eye…”

Han Yuxuan grabbed his wrist and glanced at the room number silently. He gradually tightened his grip but he said nothing.

…

Yan Zhao stretched sleepily then leaned against Shen Yuanting’s shoulder.

Shen Yuanting: “Have you had enough sleep?”

“Mm.” Yan Zhao asked, “What time is it?”

Shen Yuanting replied: “10 p.m.”

Yan Zhao: “Then I didn’t sleep for long.”

Shen Yuanting: “Dinner is on the table, and just warmed up.”

Yan Zhao got out of bed, ate until he was seventy percent full, and then stood by the window to look at the night scene. The sea breeze blew his hair, and the colorful lights and neon outside dyed the sky and sea with colorful colors.

Shen Yuanting stood beside him, and draped his coat over him, “Don’t catch a cold.”

“I’m done looking.” Yan Zhao smiled at him, closed the window, and drew the curtains.

He took a shower and sat at the head of the bed to dry his hair. Shen Yuanting wanted to take the hairdryer, but Yan Zhao nudged him with his leg.

Yan Zhao: “Go take a shower.”

Shen Yuanting looked deeply at him and then closed the bathroom door.

When the sound of water stopped and he came out wrapped in a towel, Yan Zhao was lying on the bed, with several Okamoto 0.01 condoms scattered on the pillow.

Yan Zhao was looking at the labels, “Seems like they don’t have your size; these are all too small.”

Shen Yuanting dried the tips of his hair, “Then we won’t use them.”

Yan Zhao blinked, tossed the 0.01s into the drawer, and sat next to Shen Yuanting, put his hand on the man’s thigh gently.

Yan Zhao said softly, “It’s standing up.”

Shen Yuanting breathed heavily, grabbed his restless hand, and pinned him to the bed.

Yan Zhao watched him with a smile, took the initiative to clasped his legs around his waist, and rubbed against him provocatively.

Shen Yuanting’s hand rested on his hip bone, and he looked at him from above: “I’ve checked, you’ve lost weight.”

His jawline was quite beautiful, making Yan Zhao’s heart flutter, “Then, how are you going to punish me? Are you really going to hit me, with your…”

His gaze lowered, staring at the area below the man’s abs.

Shen Yuanting touched his face with a half-smile, then put his fingers on his lips. Yan Zhao opened his mouth, took his fingertips in his mouth, and moistened the man’s slender knuckles.

He waited for Shen Yuanting’s next move, but the man withdrew his finger, got off the bed, and walked over to a chair.

When he returned, Yan Zhao saw he had picked up a belt.

Yan Zhao: “You wouldn’t be thinking of…”

Shen Yuanting “Hmm”ed, tied his hands together, and ambiguously patted his face, “Filming must be tiring, right? How about I take over this time?”

Yan Zhao blushed, “How come you have so many ideas?”

Shen Yuanting’s voice was hoarse and tender, “I still have many ideas I haven’t tried with you, we’ll take our time in the future…”

…

Yan Zhao hugged the quilt, the corners of his eyes were red, and there was a red mark on his wrist. The man’s overly suggestive words still echoing in his mind…

“Zhao zhao, do you miss me or do you miss it more?”

“Is it too deep? Is it uncomfortable?”

“Only use the back this time, you can do it…”

“Be good, call me Gege…”

…

The more he thought, the more embarrassed and annoyed he became, Yan Zhao: “Shen Yuanting… big jerk.”

Shen Yuanting hugged him from behind, and his tone full of satisfaction as he said  “I love you so much… you’re beautiful and well-behaved.”

Yan Zhao hummed, turned around, and burrowed into his arms, “Next time, I’m in charge!”

Shen Yuanting kissed his forehead and replied, “As you wish.”
