After staying in each other's arms for another while, Fu Yue tapped Wei Chen's back, indicating for him to let go.
Wei Chen took a step back to study his face. Other than a slight red on the tip of his nose, and his eyes were slightly red, his complexion indeed looked fine.
Taking out his handkerchief, Wei Chen gently wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes before bringing it to his nose and said casually, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Blow."
Fu Yue: "..."
Fu Yue was so speechless by Wei Chen's action that his shame immediately evaporated into thin air.
He snatched the handkerchief from him and said, "... I can do it myself."
Turning around to blow his nose, Fu Yue couldn't help but be hit by a sense of deja vu.
Didn't Wei Chen also lend him a handkerchief when he got teary-eyed thanks to his big brother last time, too?
Back in his original world, his life was hard, but he never cried after becoming an adult. Yet, after coming here, where life was like a dream, he had already cried twice…
And both times, Wei Chen just happened to be there.
At this rate, he wouldn't be surprised if Wei Chen were to think of him as a delicate person who was made out of water.
Folding the sullied handkerchief, ready to bring it to wash, Fu Yue couldn't help but complain, "How come you are always carrying this?"
Knowing that the other person did this out of embarrassment, Wei Chen chuckled, "It couldn't be helped. My boyfriend is a crybaby."
Fu Yue glared at him. Unfortunately, he was too beautiful to intimidate anyone, much less Wei Chen, who loved him to death.
Wei Chen bent over to help him organize his hair. Brushing the long strands of silver hair to the side, he said gently, "Feeling much better?"
In the face of such gentleness, Fu Yue could no longer maintain his angry face; he cracked up. "Your method of cheering someone up is terrible!"
Wei Chen's hands move down to hold his cheeks. He smiled, "Forgive me. I have no experience."
Fu Yue flattened his mouth, trying hard to press down the slight rise in the corner of his lips, but he still failed to suppress his smile.
"If so, it can't be helped. I will return your handkerchief after washing it."
Wei Chen shook his head, "Keep it."
Fu Yue laughed, "Last time I gave you a pair of cufflinks. What do you want in exchange for this?"
Wei Chen was about to say no, but stopped himself upon recalling something. A playful smile graced his handsome face.
"Right… Outside, a while ago, what did you think I was about to do?"
Being reminded of his embarrassing mistake, Fu Yue's smile went stiff. His eyes involuntarily dodged to the side. He defended himself in a stutter, "W-Well, you suddenly brought your face closer, anyone would get the wrong idea!"
Wei Chen pretended to be surprised by his words, "Then why didn't you push me away?"
Seeing him playing dumb, Fu Yue was a bit speechless. How did a gentleman like Wei Chen suddenly turn into a big bad wolf like this???
Witnessing Fu Yue's stunned face, Wei Chen was satisfied. Just as he was about to state the reason why he came here to look for him, Fu Yue suddenly tilted his head and gave him a peck on the lips.
This time, it was Wei Chen's turn to be stunned.
Fu Yue pulled his face away for a bit to admire Wei Chen's bewildered face. He smiled in triumph, "Of course, because I, too, want to kiss you!"
Wei Chen's eyes deepened. His Adam's apple moved up and down. He said in a low voice, "... I'm in trouble."
Before Fu Yue could even ask what he was talking about, Wei Chen's handsome face swooped in and sealed his lips with his own. Unlike his earlier light peck, which couldn't even count as a kiss, this time, it was a proper kiss with messy heartbeats.
Fu Yue let out a confused sound, wondering why the other side had suddenly become so enthusiastic. However, a moment later, his brain turned into mush after feeling that pair of soft and warm lips move on top of his own in a slow and gentle kiss.
His hands crept up slowly from Wei Chen's solid chest onto his broad shoulders before hooking around his neck and pressing their bodies tightly against each other, leaving no gaps in between.
Perceiving Fu Yue's acquiescence, Wei Chen placed one hand on the back of his head while another rested on his lower back and deepened the kiss.
Unlike the previous times, this time Wei Chen was sober. His kiss was gentle, yet it made Fu Yue feel like he was being devoured. Even his usually calm pheromones felt sensual and were full of desire.
As a matter of fact, Fu Yue indeed sensed something hot and hard touching his stomach. Just the mere thought of him making Wei Chen become like this made him tingling with excitement.
Despite never having thought of being in a relationship with a man, he actually didn't mind Wei Chen topping him.
To be honest, he kinda looked forward to it…
Just as Fu Yue was getting a bit distracted, a hot tongue gently parted his lips and delved into his mouth.
''Mmf!''
Their tongues touched, sending shivers down their spines, and both sides couldn't help but let out a moan. Fu Yue let Wei Chen do whatever he wanted and tried his best to receive him.
As the pleasure heightened, he dug his finger into Wei Chen's soft black hair and tugged it with a bit of force. He ground and rubbed his lower body against the latter unconsciously.
Wei Chen's throat hummed, and with much effort, he pulled away. By now, his handsome face was dyed with a slight blush, and his eyes were half-lidded as if in a daze. His blue sapphire eyes turned a shade darker due to repressed desire. His lips had some more colors to them, and they parted slightly due to his panting.
Wei Chen shut his eyes to calm himself down. He said in a hoarse voice, ''Let's stop here.''
Fu Yue nodded. It was not that he wanted to stop, but he knew that they shouldn't continue. Otherwise, neither of them could step on the brake in time.
His eyes inadvertently caught sight of a big tent being pitched down there. He awkwardly looked away. He cleared his throat and said to the other man, ''The bathroom is that way.''
Wei Chen nodded and walked away without saying anything, leaving Fu Yue alone to fan his blushing face and stop thinking about dirty thoughts.
To protect his privacy, Fu Yue put on headphones and played loud music.
Or else, he was afraid that he couldn't bear it and jumped on Wei Chen in the bathroom after hearing his hoarse voice…
As it happened, Li Haoran's message popped up, and Fu Yue's attention was temporarily shifted.
[Little Ran]: Si-ge, are you and Captain coming or not?
[Yueyue]: Going where?
[Little Ran]: Huh? Didn't our captain go look for you? Have you seen him yet? He went to your room a long time ago!
[Yueyue]: He is here with me
[Little Ran]: Then what is taking you guys so long? O-0
Recalling their kiss, Fu Yue blushed once again.
Ain't in no way in hell he could tell the truth!
[Yueyue]: Just talk about something and got carried away…
[Yueyue]: Anyway. Where are we going?
[Little Ran]: Ah. We, three, want to go and hang out. So we asked the captain whether you guys want to come along or not. The captain said he will go and ask you.
[Yueyue]: We'll go. He is in the bathroom; he will come out soon.
[Little Ran]: Okay. See you in the lobby /bye/ /bye/
Yang Yuxuan, with his eyes still on the magazine, said, ''You shouldn't have called them out.''
Suddenly being scolded for no reason, Li Haoran retorted, ''We are a team, of course, it is better to go out together! With Si-ge here, the captain will definitely come along! And guess what? Si-ge said they are coming down soon!''
Seeing that this student of his couldn't get the hint, Yang Yuxuan rolled up the magazine and hit his head, hating the iron for not becoming steel.
''Didn't it ever hit you why it took so long for them to reply?''
Li Haoran hugged his head protectively. He wanted to retort that their captain was a gentleman and wouldn't do something like that in broad daylight; however, when Fu Yue's last words resurfaced in his mind, his eyes grew wide.
The captain is in the bathroom. Why is he in there? Ain't no way he suddenly has to go and has to borrow his boyfriend's bathroom, right?
Li Haoran covered his mouth in horror, ''I, I didn't interrupt them, right?''
Zhao Fu, who just came back with a bunch of drinks, asked in confusion, ''Interrupt what?''
Li Haoran replied in a serious voice, ''Two men's happiness.''
Zhao Fu, ''....?''
10 minutes later, Fu Yue and Wei Chen finally arrived at the lobby, covered up from head to toe. The two immediately received somewhat strange looks from Li Haoran and Yang Yuxuan.
Fu Yue leaned closer to Wei Chen and whispered, ''... Did we get caught?''
Wei Chen also leaned down and whispered back, ''We are legally married, what is there to be afraid of?''
Fu Yue looked at him in disbelief, ''You!''
Wei Chen smiled and straightened his back so Fu Yue could do nothing but let him go for now.
To avoid being noticed, the five took great care to hide their faces. Nevertheless, thanks to their extraordinary height and great physique, the five still managed to attract attention from the passersby.
Li Haoran sighed, ''Hah. It is difficult being too handsome.''
Yang Yuxuan sneered, ''Put your mind at ease, they actually looked at the two behind you.''
Li Haoran, ''...No one will think you're a mute because you don't speak.''
Yang Yuxuan praised, ''I guess my teaching was not in vain after all.''
Student Li Haoran, ''...'' Will it kill you if you were to let me win for once? (ﾉಠдಠ)ﾉ︵┻━┻
Fu Yue was initially worried that he would be an unreliable guide, but fortunately, his knowledge about B City was just enough to arrange a good trip. They visited B City's famous tourist spots and spent time walking down the small alleys to eat B City's local specialties. They even managed to take a lot of pictures, but of course, not without being recognized by their fans.
Had it been around one month ago, Fu Yue would have been put in an awkward situation since he was not welcomed by Tian Meng's fans. However, at present, he has actually garnered a lot of fans.
Not to mention, this will be his first time interacting with his fans in person, so it came as no surprise when Fu Yue received the most enthusiastic response from the crowds.
Everyone first realized that 404 was insanely tall. Even though they had already known from his profile that he was 1.82m, it didn't seem to register in their heads until they witnessed it with their own eyes.
Today, he had on a basic short-sleeve white shirt, a pair of pale blue denim jeans, complete with a pair of white sneakers. With his denim jacket hung on his forearm and one hand in his pocket, he looked chic and elegant.
His long silver hair was styled into a low, messy bun, giving him a gentle and down-to-earth look. It gave off a feeling that he didn't have to put any effort into looking good.
With a warm smile, Fu Yue waved at the fans, ''Hello, I am 404. It is nice to meet you.''
''Oh my god! Oh my god! He is really good-looking!''
"Mom! I think I am in heaven!''
''Now I believe that he didn't use any beauty filter…''
Although Fu Yue wished to entertain his fans some more, the five were afraid that the crowd would grow bigger, so they quickly escaped while they still could.
After getting into the car, Yang Yuxuan regretfully sighed, ''I'm afraid we cannot walk around here anymore.''
It wouldn't be long before the news of them being spotted in this area made its way to the internet, and everyone came flocking in to see them.
There were still two more hours before dinnertime. Fu Yue had reserved a table at a hot pot restaurant in this area, but it seemed like he had to cancel and went back to eat at their hotel.
Just as everyone was resigned to going back, an idea suddenly struck Fu Yue. He suggested, ''Do you mind having dinner at my home?''
Worrying that his teammates would be uncomfortable at the thought of intruding on his family, he added, ''No one is home except for our cooking aunt Xing.''
Since this was the case, everyone happily agreed, and they all went to the supermarket to do grocery shopping.
However, just as they stepped out of the car, they were spotted by two girls who seemed to be college students.
''Hey! Look at their clothes! Isn't that Tian Meng?!''
''Ah ah ah, it is them! That's my husband, Silence! Do you think I can ask him to take a picture with me?!''
Fortunately, other than them, the underground parking lot was rather empty, so their voices didn't attract any attention.
Since only Wei Chen's name was mentioned, everyone turned their eyes to look at him to see his reaction.
In the past, Li Haoran and Yang Yuxuan would give a few teasing remarks at their taciturn captain, who met his 'wife' fan in real life.
However, now that they knew that their captain was a married man, their first instinct was to look toward their mid laner.
Unfortunately, the other person's face was hidden by his hat and face mask. There was no way to tell what kind of expression he was making.
By now, the two girls finally arrived in front of them with faces as red as tomatoes.
''Excuse me, is it okay for us to ask for an autograph and take a picture together?''
Li Haoran agreed with a smile on behalf of his team, with the condition that they would not tell others that they were here. The two girls happily agreed, so Tian Meng's five players took turns signing on the girls' notebooks, and then they all took a group picture together.
Done, one of the girls shyly asked Wei Chen, ''Great God Silence, can I take a picture with just the two of us?''
Wei Chen gave her a nod, ''Okay.''
The girl broke into a big smile. She hurriedly stuffed her phone into her friend's hand before trotting to stand by Wei Chen's side.
Everyone could tell that the girl was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. It was unthinkable that she was the same person who called Wei Chen, her husband, just a few minutes ago.
Her friend decided to play as a wingman and teased, ''Is there another person between the two of you? Gu Yiran, move a little closer!''
The girl whose name was Gu Yiran made a scowling face at her friend. However, thanks to her interference, she was able to move closer without looking too eager to be with her idol. She lowered her eyes shyly and bravely took another small step closer.
Seeing that Wei Chen didn't move away, her heart leaped to her throat. Now that the two were at arm's length, she could even smell his cologne.
She screamed internally. She couldn't believe that her idol allowed her to be this close to him!
Unfortunately, her happiness was short-lived. After the photo was taken, Wei Chen gave her a slight bow and walked away without sparing her another glance.
Gu Yiran was a bit hurt by his cold attitude. A campus belle like her was used to others chasing her, not the other way around.
… Did my face really not leave a single impression on him?
However, Gu Yiran quickly recovered. After all, this was one of the many good things that she liked about him.
A beautiful shell meant nothing to a person like him.
She put on a beautiful smile and wished them good luck for their match tomorrow.
While walking back to her friend, Gu Yiran's eyes couldn't help but follow that broad back and tall figure.
She watched as the man walked straight to another person who was leaning against the car with his arms folded on top of his chest. She then saw her idol lean down to say something to that person.
The two were so close that their shoulders touched.
