The missing chapter 122 is back up : )

Chapter 124: He’s already taken

Over the next few days, Lin Yanran returned home to play golf and watch stage plays with his parents. His life was exceptionally leisurely, and everything felt normal.

Except for the fact that… his maternal grandfather bought him a private island and told him to go play there whenever he had time.

Aside from that, basically no one in the family mentioned the recent incident again.

After all, the personalities of the Lin and Xie families were like this: usually low-key and never boastful.

But if someone truly crossed their bottom line, they would inevitably make that person pay the price.

Clearly, Lin Yanran, who had been lost since childhood and suffered so much hardship, was the bottom line for everyone in the Lin family.

The baby that the entire family held in the palms of their hands to pamper, how could they allow anyone to bully him at will?

In the past, they turned a blind eye to the happenings in the entertainment industry out of respect for their child’s wishes, choosing not to interfere with his career.

But that didn’t mean they could tolerate someone acting wildly in front of their precious baby.

During the Xuan family incident, they had already been low-key once, letting Yunzhe handle it quietly.

But the reality was that if they remained as low-key as last time, then next time, there would still be people in the industry who lacked foresight and would constantly look for trouble with their child.

Of course, their decision to stop being low-key this time wasn’t because they wanted everyone to flatter the child because of his status as the Lin family’s youngest son; they simply didn’t want anyone to find various excuses and reasons to trouble him again.

“Ranran, do you have a friend in the Gu family?”

While eating breakfast, Lin Yanhui suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Yanran.

Lin Yanran paused his chopsticks and looked at his father. “Hmm?”

Lin Yanhui explained, “Gu Chengwang and his people.”

After saying the name, Lin Yanhui figured his child might not be familiar with them, so he put it simply: “It should be their youngest. Yunzhe said they also contributed quite a bit of effort this time.”

Lin Yanran finally understood. “Are you talking about Gu Siye?”

During this smear campaign, aside from his family, the only one who took action to counter immediately was Siyu.

Although it was done in the name of the agency Siyu, Lin Yanran could guess who was actually behind it, helping him handle these things.

Hearing the name, Lin Yanhui remembered who the person was and nodded. “Probably.”

Lin Yanran smiled gently. “He is my friend; he takes very good care of me.”

Lin Yanhui smiled too. “He’s very loyal. A friend like that is rare and precious.”

Hearing his father’s affirmation of Gu Siye, Lin Yanran nodded, feeling a bit happy in his heart.

That evening, Lin Yanran didn’t stay overnight and got into a car to head straight back to Dongjiao Junting.

As soon as he got into the car, he immediately sent a WeChat message to Gu Siye.

light: Teacher Gu, Dad praised you.

moon: Praise me for what?

light: Praised you for being loyal.

light: He even told you to come over to my house to hang out when you have time.

Gu Siye held his phone with one hand, a smile he couldn’t hold back appearing at the corners of his mouth.

moon: Meeting the parents in advance?

Seeing the words “meeting the parents,” Lin Yanran blanked for a moment, and then his heart started beating a bit fast.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t planned for this.

He and Gu Siye had been together for over a year, and they both treated each other as partners who would accompany one another for a lifetime.

Regarding his lover, he had always hoped to walk openly and honestly with him in the sunlight.

Being open didn’t necessarily mean making a grand announcement to everyone.

Rather, it meant at least bringing him before his family in a dignified manner and introducing his identity to them.

So, sooner or later, he was going to take Gu Siye to meet his parents.

But it would certainly be at a more mature timing in the future.

Lin Yanran saw that Gu Siye was joking, so he replied playfully as well.

light: Yeah, so Teacher Gu, seize the opportunity and perform well.

moon: I definitely won’t let the organization’s expectations down.

Lin Yanran realized he had been talking to Gu Siye for so long without getting to the main point, so he started typing to tell him he was heading back.

Suddenly, two cars ahead of him crashed in a rear-end collision, and the driver slammed on the emergency brakes.

Lin Yanran’s head almost hit the seat in front of him.

By the time he steadied himself and sat back down, he saw that Gu Siye had sent a message one step ahead of him.

moon: Teacher Yanran, are you coming back today?

light: On the way.

At the same time his three words were sent, the other party sent another message.

moon: I miss you.

—

The driver dropped Lin Yanran off at Dongjiao Junting and left.

Lin Yanran went straight back to Gu Siye’s apartment.

Nowadays, the two of them didn’t really distinguish whose home was whose. Since they were in the same residential complex, they usually stayed wherever was most convenient.

However, Gu Siye’s duplex was fully equipped and much more convenient for making music, so Lin Yanran usually stayed there more often.

The roads were very congested today, so it was already quite late when Lin Yanran got home.

When he arrived, the dim yellow corridor lights and living room lights were on; clearly, Gu Siye was home.

“Teacher Gu.”

Just as Lin Yanran spoke, he saw Gu Siye walking toward him.

The other man had likely just finished showering; he was wearing a thin bathrobe, and his hair was slightly damp.

Probably because they were at home, Gu Siye’s robe was loosely worn and not tied properly, revealing a large expanse of skin on his chest and neck. It was lethally sexy.

Lin Yanran’s gaze landed there, and in the fleeting moment he lost his focus, he was suddenly picked up by the other man.

After a brief sensation of weightlessness, Lin Yanran instinctively wrapped his legs tightly around the other’s waist. Fearing he might fall, his hands could only tightly clasp the other’s neck.

Dense kisses began to fall, and Lin Yanran felt like his breath was about to be stolen away.

The scent of the shower gel on Gu Siye was very pleasant, and mixed with the strong pheromones radiating from his body, Lin Yanran’s heart felt a bit tingly from the seduction.

He was carried to the floor-to-ceiling window. The hem of his shirt was mostly pushed up, and the skin of his back pressed against the cold glass.

The indoor lights were dim and yellow, while outside the window was the night view from a high-rise.

Thinking about what the scene behind him looked like, Lin Yanran’s ears began to burn. “Teacher Gu, you…”

In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words “floor-to-ceiling window play.”

“Mm.”

A few bits of pleasant, light laughter escaped Gu Siye’s voice. His eyes were dark, his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and a hint of dangerous aura emanated from his peach blossom eyes.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”

His low, raspy voice was filled with desire, teasing Lin Yanran’s every nerve.

He looked at the man in front of him.

Not seeing each other for a few days, this man had grown even sexier.

They were on a very high floor, and from the outside, it was impossible to see in.

Lin Yanran closed his eyes nervously.

The fingers he had resting on the other man’s shoulders subconsciously gripped the clothes tight.

The two of them watched the night view for a long time, embracing and kissing to their heart’s content.

After three in the morning, Lin Yanran fell completely asleep. In a daze, he felt Gu Siye kiss his forehead.

Lin Yanran was exhausted to the extreme; this sleep again lasted until he woke up after noon.

He felt a bit of pain on his lips, and when he touched them with his finger, he found the skin was slightly broken.

While washing up and looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Yanran reflected on whether he had been exercising too little lately, while fragments of a fanfiction snippet he had accidentally scrolled past in the Siran Super Topic suddenly popped into his mind.

He had forgotten the specific details, but “seven times in one night” and “three days and three nights” were etched deeply in his memory.

At that time, he thought the fans were exaggerating, but in reality, Teacher Gu’s performance didn’t seem much worse than that?

After seriously comparing this point, Lin Yanran couldn’t help but reflect again.

Why on earth would he suddenly think of such content?

At four in the afternoon, the box office for “Becoming An Older Brother Again” was confirmed to have exceeded 700 million.

The production crew’s WeChat group was filled with red envelopes for celebration, and simultaneously, the movie’s official Weibo posted a 700-million commemorative poster.

After grabbing the red envelopes, Lin Yanran logged into Weibo to repost the celebratory poster.

Since Jingshi had come out to back him up, Lin Yanran hadn’t been on Weibo.

Logging in today, he discovered that his Weibo had actually gained several million followers, and the combined comments and reposts totaled one or two million.

The private messages went without saying; they were packed full, containing everything people could possibly send him.

Lin Yanran directly cleared the message and immediately forwarded the official Weibo account of “Becoming An Older Brother Again.”

Just as Weibo was reposted, it was instantly flooded with various comments.

Amidst the countless “Ahhhhhh” and “Husband, you’re finally online” replies, onlookers noticed that the swarm of Jingshi’s subsidiary companies had come back to stir things up again.

The top ten reposts on Lin Yanran’s Weibo were quickly occupied by various subsidiaries—specifically the ones who hadn’t managed to snag a front-row spot for their sarcastic wit last time.

Chenran Technology: Teacher Yanran is the GOAT~ (First place! Pride.jpg)

Chenran Electronics: Will always love Teacher Yanran! (I don’t believe I still can’t beat the big brothers today)

Yunchen International: Congrats Teacher Yanran! Congrats to the crew!! Making some noise because I want to see the box office break 3 billion!!! (Quietly showing my face in the front row, even exclamation marks must be rigorous)

Jingshi Health: Already watched “Becoming An Older Brother Again” three times~ Who wouldn’t love Brother Lu Lan? [Starry eyes] Teacher Yanran is absolutely incredible [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] (Solemn declaration: The above is definitely not just flattery)

Jingshi Sports: “Becoming An Older Brother Again” is super good, highly recommended!! After watching, I’ve completely fallen into a poison named Yanran and can’t pull myself out, can’t stop after five viewings~ [Heart] X100

After the reposts were dominated by Jingshi’s subsidiaries once again, netizens couldn’t stand it anymore!

The Yanran fans who rushed over to control the comments and scatter flowers: …

Do you Jingshi subsidiaries stay awake 24 hours a day surfing the web, just waiting for the exact moment to squat?

The Yanran Support Club, which failed to snag the top ten despite copying a wall of flower emojis: …

Suddenly feeling like a useless person, reflecting at a wall while secretly taking notes.jpg

Passersby who came to watch the excitement: …

Good heavens, if you don’t have hand speed and professional-grade flattery skills nowadays, you can’t even get a front-row seat on Yanran’s reposts!

[@Jingshi Group, hurry up and tell your little brothers to hand over the collection of flattery (Why do you have so many little brothers? So many names I’ve never seen before popped up today!)]

[@Jingshi Group, come and discipline your little brothers! Where is the prestige? Where is the aloofness? Why are you acting cute and blowing rainbow farts at my husband (Dog head emoji)]

[@Chenran Technology, baby, tell me quickly how you got first place. I’m not like them; I won’t tell your boss that you used unscrupulous means to get first.]

Chenran Technology: The Little Young Master is on my “Special Follow” list [Cute]

Chenran Technology even shared two images. One was an app icon for celebrity-chasing software currently under development and testing, followed by a notification prompt: Your little heart “Teacher Yanran” is online~ Click me to go directly and interact immediately, mwah~

After learning the truth, the netizen who just said they wouldn’t tell the boss immediately flipped.

[@Jingshi Group, your little brother @Chenran Technology is slacking off at work to chase stars. I want to report him!]

[@Chenran Technology, such a useful star-chasing app. Hurry up and arrange it for the app store!]

Chenran Technology: Where is the promised trust? [Crying]

Other netizens laughed themselves to death after seeing this.

[Chenran Technology is still too young.]

[But how come I got hooked into checking out the star-chasing app?]

[Are all these enterprises working this hard nowadays?]

[Hahaha, you Jingshi people are toxic, aren’t you?]

[So your corporate persona is sarcastic comedians?]

[Heavy punches for the Little Young Master’s haters, acting cute and flattering in front of the Little Young Master. Jingshi, you guys are really something.]

[So is this the status of a pampered rich young master?]

[After all, he is a rich young master, and this person is Teacher Yanran. Who could resist?~]

[Teacher Yanran, I love you, please look at me.]

[Hubby, I’m telling the truth today!! I don’t want to work hard anymore, wuwu.]

The Siran CP fans, who had been silently watching, felt like they couldn’t laugh at all after seeing so many types of fancy confessions to Lin Yanran suddenly pop up.

In the Super Topic, for the first time, they gathered the courage to tag Gu Siye.

@GuSiye

Wuwuwu, Teacher Gu, you have so many love rivals now, you must perform well in front of your wife!

@GuSiye

Teacher Gu, this is all I can do to help you. Those little vixens outside all have very sweet mouths!

@GuSiye

Teacher Gu, hurry out to work and do business to earn more money for the wife-fund, and remember to show off how strong your ability is in front of your wife (this “ability” means ability itself, definitely not referring to sexual ability).

However, this group of CP fans was still very cowardly; they only dared to tag Gu Siye once, and all the following words were quietly posted within the Super Topic.

After Lin Yanran posted the Weibo, his phone kept vibrating with notifications of new messages.

Though he didn’t look, if he didn’t log out, Weibo would show him some of the comment content.

When Gu Siye walked to his side, he happened to catch a glimpse of the fans’ joking [Hubby, I’m yours!].

Lin Yanran looked up at the person beside him, only to find the other leaning on his shoulder, holding his hand, and clicking into Weibo to clear the messages directly.

“It seems I have many more love rivals now,” Gu Siye whispered in Lin Yanran’s ear. “I really want to tell them that Teacher Yanran is already taken.”
