Originally, Chen Yu had intended to 'accidentally' reveal his skin's sensitivity to sunlight and allow a clever reporter to expose Guo Ziyue's lie. Before he could begin setting this development up, however, his lover dropped some hints that Xiang Kai would be washed clean within the week, suggesting that he had taken action against Guo Ziyue but was afraid that Xiang Kai would be angry with him for doing so.
While Sun Ri's involvement did interfere with his plans, Chen Yu merely shrugged. Since it had no doubt been the discovery of his lupus that had been the key step for Sun Ri to suspect the video, not much would be changed except that he wouldn't have to suffer through getting skin lesions to prove his point. Besides, Chen Yu had scrapped the idea of pushing the protagonist and the thigh together as soon as he had confirmed that Sun Ri was his lover, but he wouldn't selfishly deprive Guo Ziyue the experience of how powerful Sun Jia was.
Therefore, he pretended to accept his lover's words as simple encouragement and continued to loll around in his lover's house until it was time to work again, unwilling to deal with the reporters who were staked out around his apartment.
For the next few days, Sun Ri blissfully shuttled Kai back and forth between the studio and his villa, fantasizing that they were a married couple that was living and working together. He was so happy that he didn't even criticize the national laboratory for taking so long to verify that Guo Ziyue's clip was fake. In reality, the delay was Chen Yu's fault to begin with for deliberately creating the recording to seem authentic at first glance.
Nevertheless, eventually the analysts discovered that it was indeed artificial, at which point they immediately sent a report to Sun Ri. As it just so happened, their revelation came at the end of the week, the day before the premiere for the movie in which Chen Yu had starred as the servant Xiao Jiu.
Having received the information, Sun Ri naturally wished to publish it immediately so that his doll wouldn't be condemned anymore, but Chen Yu felt that being washed clean while he was in public view would be far more fun, he would get to see in the flesh how swollen all those faces could become. Thus, he sacrificed his body to distract his lover, then slipped out Sun Ri's phone to delay the messages that contained his instructions to the media, setting the emails to arrive right before the premiere. Additionally, he issued a warning to Guo Ziyue in Sun Ri's name. The text was short and harsh, it simply advised him not to mistakenly assume that he was the king's partner, as he had been before, and attend the event.
Anticipating how the protagonist would 'endure' his guardian's 'betrayal' to dauntlessly approach him and resolve any 'misunderstandings,' Chen Yu curled his lips.
The Sun Ri who caught sight of that unusually clear expression pounced, excited by the idea that Kai was letting his guard down around him. With that optimistic thought, he could no longer restrain himself, he tossed his doll all night, considering his extremely slow movements as his concession to Kai's lupus.
Chen Yu, who had already been quite surprised by how long the pervert had lasted without going all the way with him, gave in to the inevitable, taking the gentle thrusts until he felt too tired and closed his eyes to let the man do whatever he wanted.
Unfortunately, this proved to be a slight miscalculation; once he woke up the next afternoon, he found that he was wrapped up in Sun Ri's long limbs, his rear filled by the length still buried inside of him and his muscles aching. More importantly, a brief scan of his body showed that every part of his skin from his face down was littered with marks, even his fingertips had faintly visible imprints of teeth.
Annoyed when he thought of how troublesome it would be to locate clothes to cover up these signs, Chen Yu irritably pushed his lover away, only for Sun Ri, who'd been nervously watching his reaction through narrowed eyes, to bounce back and press him down, rasping, ”Don't be mad, doll. I promise I've prepared.” Saying so, he pushed himself up, intending to fetch the outfit he'd bought for Kai, but as he withdrew, he felt the youth quiver beneath him. Of course, he wouldn't miss an invitation from the boy, the couple lingered for another hour.
At last, Chen Yu was lifted into the bathtub and gingerly washed, then Sun Ri proudly presented the high-necked shirt that he had produced to cover the red leather collar that hadn't been removed except when filming. What he didn't say was that the shirt that he'd be wearing was designed to be a subtle echo of his doll's. Secretly, he hoped that appearing together at this event in complementary outfits would both impress upon everyone that Xiang Kai was backed by this king and hint that he was taken. Well aware of his lover's aspiration, Chen Yu nonetheless slipped into the luxurious shirt and allowed himself to be carried to the car, snorting at the man's satisfied expression.
When the king's distinctive Bugatti Veyron skidded to a stop in front of the venue, the reporters frantically started taking pictures. Regardless of what King Sun was doing, articles that included photographs of him would garner the top spot in their respective companies. Noticing the tall figure climb out then humbly bend down to extend a hand toward the passenger side, however, the flashes on their cameras burst out even more enthusiastically. What great personage could induce the king to bow down?
