Chapter 133 (2/2)

The moment Ling Miao saw Xie Ruoyan walking towards Su Yuyang, he took his book and rushed back. But before he had reached Su Yuyang’s side, a surprising scene unfolded before his eyes.

Xie Ruoyan turned around, went up to the youth, and hugged him. Ling Miao had just arrived beside the two of them and he heard Xie Ruoyan say to the blushing youth, “Follow me closely. Don’t get lost again.”

Fuck, what is the meaning of this?

Su Yuyang looked at Ling Miao with a smile, satisfaction flashing in his eyes as he seemed to say: Look, I told you that Xie-ge has no intentions towards me, right?

Ling Miao received Su Yuyang’s satisfied gaze and glared back, stamping his foot in dissatisfaction.

“Let me introduce you. My lover, Lin Ming.” Xie Ruoyan was looking at Ling Miao as he spoke, his meaning extremely clear: I have a lover. Don’t worry that I’ll snatch your Su Yuyang away.

Lin Ming smiled shyly, his ears redder than red beans.

Ling Miao awkwardly touched the back of his head and smiled. “Ling Miao. Su Yuyang’s lover.”

“Not hostile towards me any more?” Xie Ruoyan looked at Ling Miao and raised an eyebrow.

Ling Miao shrugged. “When enemies understand each other, there is no enmity any more. I apologize to you for my earlier behavior. Some things happened that made me sensitive. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”

“That’s good. When will you be going back? We should have a meal when you’re free,” Xie Ruoyan suggested.

“We’re planning to stay for a few more days before going back,” Ling Miao said, clearly planning something.

Su Yuyang understood Ling Miao’s meaning. The two showed sly smiles and Xie Ruoyan, looking at them, shuddered.

Once the book signing started, Su Yuyang was like a wheel on a car: he wasn’t idle for a minute. Xie Ruoyan was maintaining order around the booths and also had to take care of Lin Ming, who had no sense of direction, and he was already perspiring heavily. Only Ling Miao stood to one side idly, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

A soft snoring started up. Su Yuyang turned to look. Ling Miao had fallen asleep in a chair.

A fan of Su Yuyang who was waiting for his signature saw this. Even though she outwardly remained calm, her heart was thudding. Looking at Su Yuyang’s gentle eyes and his indulgent smile, the identity of the man who was sleeping to one side needed no further explanation from Su Yuyang.

“Great Shu, your boyfriend fell asleep. It’s cute.” The fan suddenly spoke up, pulling Su Yuyang’s attention back.

“Ah?”

Thud—

In a panic, Su Yuyang knocked the books to the ground. At the thud, Ling Miao was startled awake.

“Su Yuyang, what happened?” Ling Miao pouted and asked blearily.

“It’s not a problem.” Su Yuyang guiltily lowered his head and continued signing.

A shadow appeared at Su Yuyang’s side. Su Yuyang turned to see Ling Miao standing to one side, organizing the books that had been knocked into disarray.

Probably because his lover was at his side, Su Yuyang was encouraged and his signatures grew noticeably faster. Even though his hand was cramping, he wore a faint smile.

When the book signing concluded, it was nighttime and the sky was dark.

Su Yuyang collapsed into a chair and rubbed his cramping hand. “Now I think that my previous decision not to participate in the book signing events was a good one.” Su Yuyang said the words like he was finally free.

“Might I have a signature, please?” A timid voice came. Su Yuyang cried in his heart, the tears almost submerging his body, but he still smiled and said, “Sure.”

Looking up at the person in front of the table—fuck, who would it be, if not Lin Ming? And Ling Miao stood beside him.

Xie Ruoyan had gone to do his work and handed Lin Ming to Ling Miao to take care of. Ling Miao stuck close to Lin Ming and didn’t leave even an inch of space between them.

When Xie Ruoyan returned he saw Lin Ming’s contented smile and asked curiously, “What happened that made you smile so happily?”

“I got an autograph from the Great Shu, look!” Lin Ming showed Xie Ruoyan Su Yuyang’s signature as if he was presenting a treasure. Xie Ruoyan looked at the signature, then gave Su Yuyang a grateful look.

Lin Ming suggested they eat dinner at home, and Su Yuyang and Ling Miao indicated that was fine.

Ling Miao and Lin Ming were busy in the kitchen while Su Yuyang and Xie Ruoyan tidied the table in the living room. Their faces showed their happiness.

Su Yuyang sighed, “Now that I met you again, it feels like we broke up only yesterday, but it also feels like our relationship was in a previous life.”

Xie Ruoyan looked at the two busy in the kitchen and asked worriedly, “Did Xiao Miao have a bad experience?”

Su Yuyang briefly recounted the events with Tang Xuan. Xie Ruoyan suggested that Su Yuyang tell Ling Miao about his previous boyfriends as a precautionary measure. Su Yuyang counted on his fingers; aside from the one whose name he didn’t even recall, Ling Miao had met all his previous boyfriends. Thinking about it again, there was no need for this.

Around the dinner table, the laughter didn’t cease. The four interacted like longtime friends, talking and laughing late into the night.

On returning to the hotel, Su Yuyang lay on the bed and Ling Miao lay down beside him Ling Miao wrapped an arm around Su Yuyang’s waist and said possessively, “Su Yuyang, you’re mine, and no one can snatch you away.”

The two were still immersed in sweetness when Ling Miao’s phone rang at a terrible time.

Looking at the unknown number on the screen, Ling Miao hung up out of habit. Before long, the number called back again. Ling Miao frustratedly answered it.

“Ling Miao, this is Hu Yueyuan…”
