DTTCM Chapter 102

The two of them fell to the ground, lying motionless on the floor, dedicatedly playing the roles of dead bodies.

Truly Ambitious observed Sheng Yuan who had maintained this pose for five minutes.

[System: Why aren’t you moving?]

After a few seconds of silence, Sheng Yuan finally spoke slowly, his voice tinged with weariness: “I got into character.”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

This bastard, you just fell asleep?

They briefly accompanied Sheng Wang and fooled the little brat to go back to his small wooden bed to sleep.

Because Sheng Wang was around, they had been restraining themselves in each other’s presence.

Pressing the switch, the light went out, and darkness and silence filled the room.

After five minutes, Sheng Yuan suddenly felt a chill at his waist. Reacting swiftly, he grabbed Yu Zoujin’s hand.

He asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”

In the darkness, Sheng Yuan couldn’t see his expression.

Yu Zoujin opened his mouth, “Covering you with the blanket.”

There were a few seconds of silence. Then Sheng Yuan said, “I’ll give you another chance.”

“…”

He was properly covered, so Yu Zoujin could have come up with a more reasonable lie.

“I’ve thought about it.”

He didn’t think of any more reasons, so he simply responded with this sentence and nestled into Sheng Yuan’s blanket.

The single bed was a bit cramped for two people, but Yu Zoujin had a peculiar preference for sleeping next to Sheng Yuan.

Inside the blanket, he took off his shirt and, like a big dog, brought his dog head close to Sheng Yuan’s face.

Sheng Yuan remained motionless on the pillow.

“What are you doing?”

“Goodnight kiss.”

Yu Zoujin’s breath touched his face, but Sheng Yuan didn’t move, intentionally teasing him.

“What if I don’t want to kiss?”

Yu Zoujin paused for a few seconds, his hoarse voice becoming softer in the darkness. “It’s okay.”

Sheng Yuan was surprised that Yu Zoujin gave up so easily. But before he could process it, Yu Zoujin suddenly pressed his lips against Sheng Yuan.

Yu Zoujin: “I can help myself.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

His tone was unsteady, but his manner was serious.

After pressing their faces together, Yu Zoujin’s arm reached out and pulled Sheng Yuan into his embrace, holding him tightly.

Clearly, it was now Yu Zoujin’s turn to give him a goodnight kiss.

Yu Zoujin leaned in, but Sheng Yuan covered his mouth with his hand.

“No need, I can help myself.”

“…”

Sheng Yuan touched his face against Yu Zoujin’s lips, then patted his dog head. “Alright, let’s go to sleep.”

Yu Zoujin continued holding him without moving. It wasn’t until Sheng Yuan’s breathing evened out in his arms that Yu Zoujin lowered his head and affectionately kissed and nuzzled against Sheng Yuan’s neck. His nose pressed against Sheng Yuan’s skin, and his grip gradually tightened until Sheng Yuan made an uncomfortable sound in his sleep, prompting him to hurriedly loosen his hold.

Ever since he followed Sheng Yuan home, every day had been incredibly blissful. It was the kind of life he had longed for in the past. However, as the date of his departure approached, he began to suffer from insomnia.

He was afraid that after he left, Sheng Yuan would develop feelings for someone else, afraid that Sheng Yuan wouldn’t want him. He desperately wanted to keep Sheng Yuan by his side, but he was powerless to do so.

That night, he held onto Sheng Yuan and only fell into a deep sleep in the latter half of the night.

The next morning, Sheng Yuan woke him up, and they went to attend Xiao Pang’s wedding.

Sheng Yuan and Yu Zoujin went to the reception area, and walked into the banquet hall. Xiao Pang’s family had prepared a separate table for them.

Xia Zhiqi was sitting in his seat when he saw Sheng Yuan. He raised his arm and waved to confirm their positions. Sheng Yuan walked over and sat next to him, noticing that even at a wedding, Xia Zhiqi didn’t forget to secretly study. He had an English book in his hand.

Cun Tou was astonished, “Really? You’re studying at a wedding?”

Xia Zhiqi replied, “You don’t understand. This is called combining work with rest.”

After all, becoming a diplomat wasn’t as simple as just saying it.

The college entrance examination was approaching, and Xia Zhiqi studied day and night, neglecting sleep and food.

“Brother Sheng, why do they schedule the college entrance examination around the Dragon Boat Festival?”

Sheng Yuan gave a precise answer, “If you do well, you’ll spend time with your family; if you don’t, you’ll spend time with Qu Yuan.”

“…”

It was a conspiracy!

Music played, and the wedding began. The bride made her entrance, and the boys cheered for the newlyweds.

As the younger brother, Xiao Pang took the stage to give a speech. His emotions overwhelmed him, and he began to cry like a pig.

Sheng Yuan and the others enjoyed watching the various expressions on his face.

Cun Tou said, “He looks so funny when he cries. Hahaha, it’s so embarrassing.”

Xia Zhiqi silently looked at him.

Cun Tou asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I remember you have a younger sister, right?”

“Yeah.”

Xia Zhiqi whispered sinisterly, “When your sister gets married…”

Cun Tou: “…”

At that moment, joy and sorrow suddenly became the same.

Crying out like a wolf, Cun Tou burst into tears, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

On the stage, Xiao Pang said, “I can’t bear to see my sister get married.”

In the audience, Cun Tou exclaimed, “Nuan Nuan can’t get married!”

Others: “…”

It was the first time they had witnessed such an extraordinary duet.

Sheng Yuan handed Cun Tou a tissue. “Wipe your tears.”

Cun Tou said, “Brother Sheng, Nuan Nuan can’t get married.”

Cun Tou had taken care of Nuan Nuan since childhood. The thought of his sister getting married in the future made Cun Tou’s once-steel-like heart suddenly fragile as glass.

“She’s still young. What if she gets deceived by those bad men? She can’t get married yet.”

Sheng Yuan casually reassured him, “You’re right.”

Cun Tou said, “She can only date when she’s mentally mature. She can’t find a partner before she turns sixty!”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

You’re really a sister con.

After comforting Cun Tou, Sheng Yuan turned his head and noticed Yu Zoujin’s slightly strained expression, which mirrored the expressions of Xiao Pang and the others.

Sheng Yuan: ???

[System: Do you think he’s thinking about the little brat’s future marriage?]

That was also a possibility.

Sheng Yuan reached out and poked Yu Zoujin’s waist, whispering in his ear, “What are you thinking?”

Yu Zoujin turned his head and gave him a deep look, then turned away without saying a word, his cold face secretly revealing a tinge of sadness.

Truly Ambitious seemed to hear a BGM playing in his mind.

—You’re getting married, but the groom isn’t me~~

Truly Ambitious:!

This guy really dares to imagine. Did he have a cuckold fetish?

The wedding process quietly moved through its halfway mark in time.

The emcee held the microphone and said, “Now comes the exciting bouquet toss. The bride’s bouquet carries blessings for the next couple. Whoever catches the bouquet will be the next one to get married.”

As soon as the words fell, there was an instant change in Yu Zoujin’s aura. He turned his head and cast a wolf-like gaze at Sheng Yuan.

Cun Tou was sitting beside them, and saw the electric sparks between the two. He was momentarily stunned.

The emcee continued, “Those who want to catch the bouquet, gather in the open space below the stage.”

Yu Zoujin stood up without hesitation.

Cun Tou watched his figure and felt like he heard a BGM playing.

Yu Zoujin turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.

There were many people vying for the bouquet, both men and women. Yu Zoujin stood among them, attracting attention with his tall stature.

Xia Zhiqi exclaimed in surprise, “Fuck, what’s he doing there?”

Yu Zoujin, with his height and long legs, stared intently at the bouquet about to be thrown, his eyes determined as if he were joining a political party.

It was clear that he really wanted to get married.

At the moment the emcee spoke, he suddenly felt enlightened.

If he could marry Sheng Yuan, he would have fewer worries about Sheng Yuan not wanting him. Sheng Yuan was a person of great responsibility and moral values. With a legal relationship, Sheng Yuan would not abandon him.

This bouquet.

He was determined to catch it.

The bride turned her back and tossed the bouquet of white roses amidst laughter and screams.

The crowd rushed forward, and Yu Zoujin, who had been in several fights, was experienced. He swiftly lifted his arm, firmly catching the bouquet.

Holding the bouquet in his hand, Yu Zoujin turned his head through the crowd, looking directly at Sheng Yuan.

Their eyes met.

Yu Zoujin: Marriage.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Yu Zoujin took the bouquet and didn’t linger in the same spot. He went straight back to his seat and handed the bouquet to Sheng Yuan. Then he obediently sat down beside him.

But he couldn’t help but insist, “Marriage.”

The atmosphere between the two was obviously off, and Xiao Pang, who had come down from the stage, turned his head back and forth between them.

Cun Tou also covered his own head, feeling that it was too surreal. The way Yu Zoujin’s looked at Brother Sheng just now felt off.

Brother Sheng had said that he was in a relationship, but he was with Yu Zoujin all the time. The other party was as sticky like super glue. When did he have time to date?

There was only one truth.

Yu Zoujin was Sheng Yuan’s boyfriend.

People around them were either astonished or shocked, while Jin Anzhu chewed his food calmly as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Xia Zhiqi looked at them and laughed heartily. “So Brother Yu went to catch the bouquet for Brother Sheng. Brother Sheng, if you wanted the bouquet, you should have said so earlier. I would have helped you catch it.”

Everyone: “…”

Are you an idiot?

Xia Zhiqi felt the cold stares from others.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

One second, two seconds…

Xia Zhiqi widened his eyes. “Fuck!”

He suddenly realized, “Brother Sheng, you’re fucking awesome!”

He stole the bad boy!

As expected of Brother Sheng!

He was so excited that his nose started to bleed.

“Brother Sheng, aren’t we going to be the top delinquents from now on?”

Xia Zhiqi’s train of thought was always on a different track from others.

The wedding concluded, but Yu Zoujin kept murmuring to Sheng Yuan.

“Marriage.”

The two of them walked out of the hotel. It was only two in the afternoon, and Sheng Yuan asked, “What should we do now?”

Yu Zoujin replied seriously, “Marriage.”

Sheng Yuan was still holding the white bouquet, and he teased, “So you caught the bouquet just to get married?”

Yu Zoujin nodded.

“This classmate, aren’t you in too much love? You just turned eighteen and already want to marry me for life?”

Yu Zoujin looked at Sheng Yuan nervously, waiting for his answer.

Sheng Yuan smelled the white roses he was holding, and for a moment, Yu Zoujin couldn’t tell whether the flowers or Sheng Yuan was more beautiful.

If possible, he would buy a white rose every day and place it by his bedside.

Yu Zoujin felt rare nervousness. Sheng Yuan asked, “Did you ever consider that I might refuse?”

Yu Zoujin instantly froze in place. His expression gradually crumbled, and the thought of Sheng Yuan marrying someone else in the future made his eyes instantly turn red.

Yu Zuojin turned his back. His shoulders were broad, so even if he was sad, you couldn’t see the pity from his back.

His voice was hoarse. “It doesn’t matter.”

Sheng Yuan walked to a willow tree and rustled the leaves. He didn’t even hear Yu Zoujin’s words.

With his back to Sheng Yuan, Yu Zoujin was stiff for a long time before he raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

If others were to see it, they would be scared to death.

“Yu Zoujin.”

Yu Zoujin didn’t turn around; he was angry.

“Yu Zoujin.”

Sheng Yuan patiently called him again, and finally, unable to refuse, Yu Zoujin turned around.

A hand holding a small circular wreath appeared before his eyes.

It was a ring made of thin willow branches, and Sheng Yuan was like the stars and moon in the sky.

“Mr. Yu Zoujin, regardless of poverty or wealth, sickness or health, would you be willing to marry me?”
