10.11 – I want to know exactly what it is that I’ve forgotten

Everyone was noisy and rowdy during all the way through lunch. Nobody drank any alcohol, but quite a few people still managed to kick up a fuss.
After Mu Sichao took his facemask off, everyone was curious and questioned his relationship with Xue Ling. The two of them really looked too much alike – especially when they were next to each other. Although their temperaments were fundamentally different, they were both good looking, and people would naturally notice something after looking for a while.

Mu Sichao’s answer to these inquiries was: “He’s my younger brother.”
“His Majesty has a younger brother! But I never saw you collaborate with Darling all these years… This is really hidden too well.”
Xue Ling waved his hand and said, “Shh, I was only found out by my elder brother recently. In the past, my family was very strict. They didn’t let me go online, and I had to secretly sneak into sing for you guys. It wasn’t easy!”
In fact, nobody cared about the truth. Mu Sichao naturally followed Xue Ling’s lead and continued, “You guys shouldn’t mention it. If it wasn’t for your Gentleman bringing his boyfriend in front of me, I would never have known that my younger brother’s singing was so good.”
Everyone gave Xue Ling and Wen Ruoyi teasing gazes. Their eyebrows seemed to all say ‘you two ** really hid things deeply’. “Yo~~~~”
Xue Ling coughed and said, “What are you looking at me for? I didn’t see you guys looking out for me when my elder brother wanted to break my leg…”
“Wow, His Majesty wants to break Darling’s leg…”

“Do I look like a man who would resort to violence?” Mu Sichao helplessly pressed down on Xue Ling’s head, telling him not to make his stories so exaggerated.
Xue Ling tsked, unhappy as he bowed his head to silently eat the food that Wen Ruoyi had placed in his bowl.
The group did not use the matters between the two brothers to make trouble. They changed the topic and continued to talk, and were lively while discussing who would sing well later. So, even before the food on the table had been cleared, some of them had already hurried over to the KTV in order to set up their room.
Xue Ling was neither fast nor slow as he ate, occasionally picking at his food and then quietly eating it when Wen Ruoyi threatened him. By the time the four of them arrived at the KTV, there was already a long line of songs queued up. Xue Ling did not go up and join the crowd; he found a relatively long open area and lay down to digest after eating.
Malt Candy moved over to where he was and rolled his eyes at him, “You’re as leisurely as an old man.”
“I’m just afraid that if I sing, you’ll all bow down to my voice and ask me to sing all the time.” Xue Ling rolled his eyes back at him, and then sat up slowly as he leaned against Wen Ruoyi. “What are you doing? Do you think I’m lying down too happily and are jealous of me?”
“No, Darling~ How come I remember that you still had some dignity before? Where did it go now?”
“It got eaten by Gentleman.” Xue Ling grabbed Wen Ruoyi’s hand and stretched lazily. “Enough, isn’t it just a singing competition? I’m coming~”
Malt Candy: “…” Although his purpose had been to have him come over and sing, why did he feel like he had been forcibly fed a mouthful of dog food? And Gentlemen hadn’t even spoken yet!

They spent the afternoon at the KTV. Mu Sichao even managed to take a nap while leaning against Su Wenjun during such a chaotic event. When he woke up, he said that he needed to do a tour of the stages and would leave first, bringing Su Wenjun with him as he left.
After he left, Don’t Leave In April leaned close to Xue Ling and asked curiously, “Darling~ The little brother next to His Majesty should be his boyfriend, right? The two of them seem to be stuck together.”
Xue Ling had just been driven away from the mic because he had been hogging it the whole time. He was drinking water, but when he heard these words, his brow wrinkled and he spoke gleefully, “Why are you asking about this? Are you planning to expose my brother?”
“Not at all!” Don’t Leave In April was a young girl. As a manager of the channel, it appeared that she had stopped working in order to focus on music. She said to Xue Ling, “That little brother’s voice had a good timbre. My friend has recently been preparing to do a new series, and was worried that he wouldn’t be able to find the voice he wants. If you are a good brother, then introduce him to me~ From what you’re saying, it seems like he’s also in the circle.”
“His name is Mountain River Sun and Moon. He’s part of the circle, and is also a voice actor. Just tell your friend to go and make an appointment.” Wen Ruoyi interrupted the conversation as he stuffed a lozenge into Xue Ling’s mouth.

Don’t Leave In April received the information and jotted down Su Wenjun’s name with joy. She praised, “Gentleman is really great. I was afraid that Darling would trick me if I asked him.”
“Did you notice that I was beside you when you say things like that?”
“Oh, Darling baby, muah~ You’re the cutest. Well, I’m going to report this happy news to the other people at the meet~”
Xue Ling stretched, and looked at the time before leaping up and saying, “It’s still early. Let’s go back to the festival. I want to get some fresh air~”
Wen Ruoyi naturally followed him as he left. The two of them said their goodbyes to the group that had basically entered a frenzy of singing, and walked out of the KTV amidst the noise.
Night came early in winter, and the sky was already tinged with red. Xue Ling yawned and slowly picked up his steps for a leisurely walk. “Aren’t you curious about why I sent a photo of us together?” He suddenly asked this question out of the blue as they walked.
Wen Ruoyi shook his head and said, “Not curious. I won’t stop you from doing things you like to do.”

“Tsk.” Xue Ling turned his head to look at him, and began to walk backwards, stretching his hands towards Wen Ruoyi so that he could guide him as they walked. “Why are you so boring? You’ve already been chasing me for half a month and haven’t even received an answer. You don’t even seem happy that I sent out a photo of the two of us. Could it be that you really have no wishes and desires?”
His gaze met with Wen Ruoyi’s eyes as he spoke. Although they were gentle as usual, there seemed to be fierce flames burning in their depths.
Xue Ling’s steps paused subconsciously.
“No wishes and desires.” Wen Ruoyi seemed to savour these four words carefully before showing a smile that seemed like a spring breeze. Yet Xue Ling only felt a shiver run down his back as his hair suddenly stood on end. “If I had no desires, why would I be shamelessly stuck behind you all day? Would there be any need for me to take care of a certain person’s bad habits?”
“I think this is called housekeeper syndrome.”
Wen Ruoyi squeezed his hands tightly and spoke rather helplessly, “You’re really so hard to please. I’m working so hard every day to cater to you, but you ultimately just consider me as a housekeeper.”
“Are you unwilling? If you’re not happy about it you can return my keys. I can guarantee that you won’t be able to get in the house tomorrow.” Xue Ling blinked, and took a step back as he gleefully said, “Or, I can just gift you that key. I’ll change the locks when I get back.”
