Chapter 171
Xi Ze was a person who enjoyed his comforts, which could be seen from his Muse studio.
Ming Yu had already prepared himself but once he stepped into this man’s studio in Ji and Ya, he couldn’t help whispering, “The evils of the rich.”
Xi Ze’s studio was set up on the 57th floor of the Ji and Ya building, which was above the Ji and Ya high-end studio. It was the second highest level in the building, just below the 58th floor set aside for the board of directors.
The huge studio occupied the entire floor. The style was simple, a black and white modern style. The large area used a variety of glass materials to turn the whole room into a unique and transparent world. Once Ming Yu stepped on the transparent glass floor, he could see the clear water flowing underneath and it had a strange beauty.
Ming Xiaoyu filled with hatred, “?＿?”
Ming Xiaoyu would pay off his mortgage next month but he still lacked a car. He was wondering what type of car to buy because he had to decide which one was cost effective while maintaining face. Don’t think that Small Mushroom was a pure-hearted mushroom. He was a public figure now and had to pay attention to his image!
In fact, MIng Yu’s current value based on his various endorsements and paychecks combined was enough for him to buy an extremely expensive luxury car. But as a model who often attended various shows and evening parties, Ming Xiaoyu had to save money in case he needed to buy high-end clothing.
Many people liked to borrow high-end clothing to attend parties but Ming Yu didn’t like it.
Once he really chose an outfit, he would buy it. It was because as long as he was willing to wear it to attend a party, it must be an outfit that he really liked. This was probably a collection addiction ← if he had a favourite outfit then he wanted to buy it.
But this collection addiction was really too extravagant!
The poor Small Mushroom hadn’t yet paid off his mortgage or bought a car ╮（╯＿╰）╭ Ming Xiaoyu was filled with resentment and he said angrily, “In view of your wasteful spending, I have decided to add a third house rule. In the future, the financial power of the family will be controlled be me. Every time you withdraw more than 100,000, you must declare it!”
Cough.
At these words, Xi Ze unexpectedly staggered and almost fell!
This reaction almost made Ming Xiaoyu shocked. His words were half-joking. How could XI Ze be so ‘scared’ that he almost fell? Was this normal? Was there something in Ming Yu’s words that shouldn’t be said?
Xi Ze looked at Ming Yu with a strange expression and asked hesitated, “Am I a wasteful spender?”
Ming Xiaoyu answered without hesitation. “Of course!” Look at your studio. Isn’t the window electronically controlled? Doesn’t this glass floor also cost a lot of money? Real water is actually introduced! And the painting on the wall… oh my! Isn’t this painting a Van Gogh? Do you dare say that you aren’t a wasteful spender?”
Ming Xiaoyu finally couldn’t bear it when he saw the painting by Van Gogh.
This painting wasn’t as famous as Van Gogh’s The Starry Night or Sunflower. However, even the art ignorant Ming Yu recognized it. It must be a famous work of Van Gogh and would go for tens of millions at auction. Billions might be possible!
After listening to Ming Yu’s explanation, Xi Ze sighed with relief. He grabbed the youth’s waist and said innocently, “You have really wronged me. This painting is from Teacher’s collection and has nothing to do with me.”
Xi Ze had two teachers. When he was young, he was inspired by the Italian design master Hornby. Once this teacher died, Ms. Ji Heya took him as a student and asked him to serve as Ji and Ya’s assistant designer until she died.
After listening to this explanation, Ming Xiaoyu asked suspiciously, “Is it really that simple?”
The man put his other hand on the youth’s waist. With his taller height, he bent his head slightly to look at the youth in front of him with a gentle and tolerant gaze. His tone was solemn as he said, “Yes, it is really so simple. Home Master, your eyes are so good. You can see the most expensive thing in this room at a glance. The other things added up aren’t as expensive as this painting.”
Although Ming Xiaoyu felt that things weren’t so simple, he looked at Xi Ze’s face and found that this person wasn’t lying. Since it was just a fraction of the painting’s price, it wasn’t particularly wasteful spending.
Well, Ming Yu would let it go this time.
A famous painting worth 98.6 million, a value of 8.6 million was really just a fraction of it.
Xi Ze and Ming Xiaoyu spent the afternoon in the studio. In the beginning, Xi Ze chose Ming Yu as a model and designed an outfit for him. After that, the drawing task became more and more vivid.
The painter said that if the jacket was taken off, the body’s lines would be better revealed and he could design the fitted curves. The painter said that if the T-shirt was also taken off, it would show the beautiful clavicle and design a personally fitted outfit.
Ming Xiaoyu would be stupid if he really took his clothes off!
Ming Yu sneered at this blatant act of bullying and directly put on his coat. He ignored the other person to go to the table, reprimanding the man. “There is nothing wrong with my eyes. Mr. Xi, your nasty mind can’t escape my…eyes…! What is this?!!”
He saw that on the table, a half-naked upper body was vividly drawn on the paper!
The smooth curves of the waist, the raised clavicle line, each pen sketch was just right! Every curve of the line was filled with an ambiguous colour! Don’t mention the other people who would see this drawing. Ming Xiaoyu was so shocked that his mouth fell open!
What was this expression?
What exactly was this facial expression?!!
Ming Yu knew his own expression the most! He had clearly only been smiling normally. Why did he become so beautiful… cough, so uncomfortable under the man’s pen!
Ming Yu’s expression changed as he said, “What the hell are you drawing?”
“I am drawing you.”
Ming Xiaoyu, “…”
After a moment, he continued, “This isn’t me at all! I am wearing clothes! I didn’t look at you with this expression. I was obviously sitting opposite you. How can you draw it like this?”
The handsome and graceful man sighed before saying meaningfully, “I am drawing you from last night.”
Ming Xiaoyu, “…（┙>∧<）┙へ┻┻”
Who was silly enough to love a designer?
In the latter half of the afternoon, Mr. Xi’s wish for office play didn’t come true but he managed to achieve his lover’s kiss. By the time the two people packed up and left the studio, Ming Xiaoyu’s cheeks were slightly red and a few red dots on his chest were covered by his clothes.
Ming Yu asked casually, “By the way, who called you today?”
Xi Ze didn’t think too much of it as he replied, “Luo Cheng had a bit of trouble in the United States. Rosalind asked him to shoot a semi-nude poster that only used leaves to cover the key parts. The photographer was a woman and he was a bit shy. Therefore, he looked for Wenya, Wenya looked for Dingbo and Dingbo came to me.”
Ming Xiaoyu heard this and nodded. “It turned out to involve Luo Cheng and Rosalind…”
After a moment, the youth’s eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the man next to him. “Wait! No wonder I didn’t feel it was right before! Weren’t you meeting with Elder Chen before when you received the call today? It was clear that Alice was taking me around. How did Elder Chen suddenly appear?”
Ming Xiaoyu asked a few questions before becoming enlightened. “Yes! How can there be such a coincidence? You told Elder Chen to tell me those things! Honestly confess. Didn’t you have Elder Chen tell me those things?”
Xi Ze raised his eyebrows with surprise and asked in a puzzled tone, “Eh? Did Uncle Chen tell you something?”
If this had been when Ming Xiaoyu first entered a relationship with this man, he might’ve been deceived by the acting. Now both of them were an old husband and wife for a long time. Ming Xiaoyu clearly knew how black this man was.
He sneered and said, “If you honestly admit it, tonight I will allow you to…”
“Yes, I let Elder Chen go to you.”
Ming Xiaoyu, “…”
Xi Ze spoke very seriously. “Come on, you have to catch a plane tomorrow morning. One half-hour of a night in spring is worth a thousand taels.”
Xi Ze pulled his wrist towards the car and Ming Xiaoyu spoke indignantly. “You are simply too bad! When Elder Chen said those things, my heart was distressed. I was also thinking about how to comfort you today. How can you lie to me like this?”
Ming Yu was so stunned that he forgot his seat belt. Therefore, before driving, Xi Ze leaned over to help him fasten the seat belt.
A long strand of hair gently fell over his forehead. His eyes were serious, as if he was looking at the world’s most precious treasure. Every movement was careful and thoughtful.
In front of such a devoted gaze, the anger in Ming Yu dissipated.
Xi Ze slightly turned to press a light kiss against the young man’s lips. Then he smiled. “I didn’t lie to you. These things did happen and I chose to let you know about it. I wanted you to understand that I’m not an omnipotent person. You should know more about me, understanding my life and my whole self. Perhaps some selfless people might think that as long as their lover is happy, it is fine. But Ming Yu, I am a selfish person. I like your distressed expression when you feel bad for me and I also like when you cry. Of course, you are only allowed to cry in bed.”

Chapter 172
In fact, Ming Yu recalled the first meeting of the two people a year ago. Ming Yu didn’t have too much feelings towards this man.
At that time, he only regarded the other person as an opponent he would surpass sooner or later. He only felt that Xi Ze was strong, the most difficult enemy he would ever face.
No one would’ve thought that Ming Yu would actually fall in love with this man.
Their love wasn’t sweet and affectionate like other lovers. They were shy about speaking words of love. Xi Ze was never like ordinary people. He always said, “Xiaoyu” or occasionally when ridiculing others, he would say ‘Darling.’ He almost never said ‘Ming Yu.’
This type of love was completely different from others but Ming Xiaoyu was unable to extricate himself from it.
When they met, their favourite thing to do was bicker. In general, Xi Ze mostly won. There were only a small number of cases where Ming Xiaoyu could see his weak appearance.
Like just now, it was obvious that Ming Yu had the upper hand. He wanted to blame this man for deliberately letting Elder Chen tell him about the previous matter, in order to make Ming Yu feel sad and distressed. But after hearing such a gentle explanation, Ming Yu felt an indescribable warmth pour into his body from his heart and he couldn’t help smiling.
Yes, Xi Ze’s gentleness was unreasonable.
This man had always been arrogant and unreasonable. He wouldn’t protect his lover like other people. He didn’t protect him from the storm and let Ming Yu think he was loving a perfect man. Xi Ze chose to reveal his humble and bullied past in order to let Ming Yu see him and fall in love with his complete self.
In fact, he didn’t make a mistake. Before this, Ming Yu always thought that Xi Ze’s life was smooth. Even if he suffered some twists and turns, he could still be safe, not to mention maintain his dignity.
Xi Ze actually crossed the world five times to send someone an invitation and then had the invitation openly thrown into a bin.
Ming Yu couldn’t even imagine what was going on in the mind of the exhausted Xi Ze. Xi Ze was always favoured and lived under the envy of others. But at that moment, his dignity had been thrown in the trash can. It was also in an obvious place where anyone could see, a public humiliation.
At that time, all the Rosalind executives were probably seeing Xi Ze as a joke.
The new chief designer of Ji and Ya repeatedly visited, was repeatedly refused and finally got in, only for this to lead to more humiliation.
“Park.”
The youth’s low voice was suddenly heard.
X Ze’s eyes slightly narrowed. Then the car slowed down and parked on the side of the road.
“Why do you suddenly want to stop…”
The youth suddenly kissed him, causing Xi Ze to fall back against the door. The kiss was too rough and harsh, causing Xi Ze’s teeth to hit the youth’s full lips. In the process of exchanging saliva, the scent of rust was smothered.
The vague and beautiful atmosphere between them disappeared.
Xi Ze immediately pulled Ming Yu back and carefully observed his lips. Once he discovered that his lips were covered with blood from a small wound, his eyes narrowed and he frowned with distress.
The two people were always very open about this and had sex in rougher positions. But even then, Xi Ze was careful not to let Ming Yu shed a single drop of blood, always letting him feel extreme pleasure.
The last time he saw this youth bleeding was during the An Li shooting.
At the time, the young man’s head and back of his hand had been covered in blood. Xi Ze was so scared that he lost his ability to think.
Now Ming Yu was bleeding again.
“You are bleeding and have blood on your lips. Stop it with a paper towel, wipe the blood off then don’t touch it. It should stop very quickly.
“I don’t want to.”
Xi Ze looked blank.
“Because I want to kiss you.”
Regardless of the wound that hadn’t completely recovered, the youth rushed up again and kissed the man’s lips. If Xi Ze could still hold back at this time then he would have to change his name to Liuxia Hui. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhan_Huo)
The tip of his tongue entered the youth’s lips. It didn’t matter if they were on the side of the road. His tongue madly licked every inch of the youth’s mouth, sucking and biting, causing the youth to let out a sweet voice.
The sound of the two tongues moving against each other was heard in the quiet car.
At the end of the kiss, Xi Ze looked at the youth in his arms and waited for the other person to breathe. Then he whispered, “This location is good. Since you have chosen it, I will respectfully obey.”
A black Aston Martin drove through the streets and into an underground car park. In the most remote corner, the car stopped and nobody got off. But the car shook slightly. It might be soundproofed but a person could hear one or two low breaths and groans if they approached.
Thanks to the excellent stability of the Aston Martin, it wasn’t obvious that this car was moving. It was also fortunate if there was a few empty spaces in the parking lot. Even if a person passed by, the two people in the car only slightly paused for a moment before going crazy again.
This type of crazy behavior of making love outdoors made Ming Yu shocked beyond reason. He gritted his teeth and scolded, “You are crazy. If we are discovered, both of our reputations will be ruined!”
Xi Ze smiled, leaned close the youth’s ear and whispered, “Oh? Is that what you think? But that isn’t what your body is saying.”
After all, this was the first time they did this type of behavior in the car and Ming Yu started it. Once they ended the two hours of car sex, both Xi Ze and Ming Yu felt a little sore. This space was too small to play freely～ They returned home and in the evening, the man first cooked a full table of dinner. Once Ming Yu finished his meal, Xi Ze turned to the youth in bed.
“A small fish eats shrimp, a big fish eats the small fish. You ate me food, I eat you. It is natural.”
Ming Xiaoyu, “Natural my ass!!!! （╬▔皿▔） !!”
In any case, before the youth left the capital, a certain man had a full meal and slept with his youth. It was unexpected that he could actually experience the shocking car game a few months earlier than originally arranged. Before Xi Ze fell asleep, he secretly thought, ‘Well, there is a chance to do more in the future. It is an unexpected harvest.’
Xi Ze didn’t know that after he feel asleep, the exhausted teenager slowly opened his eyes and lightly kissed Xi Ze’s lips. Then he buried his head in Xi Ze’s shoulder and continued to sleep.
This moment of ignorant behaviour gave Ming Xiaoyu a big lesson the next day.
Apart from the time when the two first tasted the forbidden fruit, Ming Xiaoyu was never this exhausted. They didn’t do too much yesterday but it was probably because the location wasn’t right. He felt a tingling burn from behind and his waist was sore.
When Luo Ru came to pick him up, she looked at him with a strange horror in her eyes. Finally, she shyly reminded him, “That…Xiaoyu, you are a young man but it is a bit… cough, you should still pay attention to moderation.”
Ming Xiaoyu who was trying to correct his posture, “…（┙>∧<）┙へ┻┻!!”
Damn it! Break up, they must break up!
Fortunately, Ming Yu was only flying to S City and temporarily contacted the Feilu people. He had a good rest until the next day, where he officially started the promotion.
In the morning, in the largest shopping mall of S City, the middle of the site was surrounded by Feilu staff. The stage had already been built and the posters for the Feilu watches hung around the entire stage.
Once it was 10 in the morning, the mall opened and countless fans flocked. The entire shopping mall was packed. Even the largest shopping mall in S City rarely saw such a lively scene. These fans talked spontaneously in the beginning until someone reminded them to lower their voices. But they couldn’t completely hide the happy expressions on their faces!
“Ahhh! Feilu is amazing! Where is Mushroom, where is Mushroom?!!!”
