Chapter 189: Chapter 189 : Surprise Visit (1)

Wisps of sunlight streamed past the curtain gap, casting streaks of golden light and shadow against the floor.

Two grown men were curling up together on the bed, the slender one being spooned by the bigger one. Fooling around the entire night took a toll on their physiques, depleting their energy level to zero.

After several hours of sleep, Shen Jingwei’s battery level was still lower than 50%, but Yan Renzhong’s was around 70%.

The latter was used to waking up early in the morning for work, but today he actually woke up two hours later than usual.

His neglected phone was buzzing like insane in the living room.

"I am awake," Yan Renzhong spoke into the phone as soon as he picked up.

"You are awake???" Wen Guilin on the other side sounded like a mad woman. "What do you mean, you are awake? Shouldn’t you be on your way to Peak Point Shooting Studio now?"

Yan Renzhong shot the clock at the wall a sidelong glance.

8 AM.

Sigh.

"Sorry," he apologized for his tardiness for the first time in years. "I will be there in an hour. Please convey my deepest apologies to Director Ma. Ah, and..."

Yan Renzhong craned his neck and peeked at Shen Jingwei’s sleeping form.

"It’s Shen Jingwei’s birthday. I don’t know if he applied for a leave or not, but he is, uh, not feeling well."

"Oh?"

Wen Guilin’s erratic tone calmed down, replaced by a burning curiosity.

"What happened? Did he get drunk yesterday?"

"Sort of."

They did finish the jar of rice wine.

"And then?"

"And then, what?"

"Is there something worth celebrating at this point? Should I send over some red bean rice*?"

Yan Renzhong grinned to himself.

The urge to tease Shen Jingwei was strong.

"Why not," he said. "Do send some over."

While Wen Guilin got busy with ordering some red bean rice and stalling the shooting’s progress for the day, Yan Renzhong picked Shen Jingwei up and carried him into the bathroom.

"Mmm..."

Shen Jingwei curled up into a fetal position when Yan Renzhong laid him in his hot tub.

If it was any other day, Yan Renzhong would want to enjoy a relaxing bath time with Shen Jingwei, with hot water shooting off the jet nozzles to massage specific spots on their sore bodies.

Unfortunately, he did not have much time to waste.

He let hot water stream into the tub before climbing in and cradling Shen Jingwei in his arms.

The dutiful husband washed traces of their lovemaking conscientiously, careful not to wake his wife up.

He barely finished drying Shen Jingwei up with a towel when the doorbell rang, and a security guard spoke through the intercom.

"Mr. Yan, Sir, two guests have arrived and asked to see Mr. Shen. Should I let them in?"

Yan Renzhong was baffled.

Two guests? For Shen Jingwei?

"Who?"

"A certain Shen Muyu and Shen Dou Dou."

"....."

Yan Renzhong’s throat went dry.

To his knowledge, Shen Jingwei had yet to tell anyone about him moving in with Yan Renzhong. Yan Renzhong himself had not told anyone, save for Song Xiaoling of course.

So why were Shen Jingwei’s mother and sister there, looking for him specifically?

This smelled like a disaster.

"I need ten minutes," he spoke into the intercom. "Please stall their arrival for the time being."

"Yes, Sir," the security guard said dutifully before leaving.

Ten minutes were all they had.

Reluctantly, Yan Renzhong shook Shen Jingwei awake.

"Jingbao. Hey, Jingbao, wake up."

Shen Jingwei groaned. He pushed Yan Renzhong’s hands away and curled deeper into the blanket. "Go away."

"Jingbao, your mother and sister are here."

"...."

Shen Jingwei took several seconds to process the information. Once he did, his eyes flew open and all colors drained from his face.

"My who and who???" He cried out in distress, hoping that his ears deceived him.

"Your mother and sister," Yan Renzhong repeated. "Come on, you need to get dressed."

"But I... Arghhh, my waist. My legs..."

Not to mention that swollen spot between his butthalves, courtesy of Yan Renzhong’s beastly behavior in bed.

"I know, I know," Yan Renzhong said in a placating tone. "We will take care of it later. You need to endure it like a real man now."

Shen Jingwei scowled at his insensible partner in response.

"Endure it like a man??? I am going to screw you on your birthday, just so you see!"

To his greatest dismay, Yan Renzhong had the cheek to laugh, as if that mere thought never once crossed his mind.

Damn it, was he fated to be the bottom for all eternity?

Within ten minutes, Yan Renzhong was ready to leave and Shen Jingwei was dressed in casual clothes, ready to face his mother and sister.

Yan Renzhong sneaked out like a thief, and Shen Jingwei stood next to the couch, rubbing his aching back.

Much like Shen Jingwei, Shen Muyu and Shen Dou Dou hailed from humble background. Their Shen family’s house was bigger than Shen Jingwei’s old apartment, but it paled in comparison to Yan Renzhong’s lavish dwelling, that’s for sure.

In fact, having a security guard leading them to the apartment made them feel a little intimidated.

Thus imagine their relief when the door to apartment 58C cracked open and they came face-to-face with Shen Jingwei.

"Big Brother!" Shen Dou Dou cried out.

"Jingwei..." Mother Shen sighed as she took her son into his arms.

"Jingwei, what happened? Why didn’t you tell us that you already left your old apartment? And why are you living with Yan Renzhong?"

All kinds of excuses swirled in Shen Jingwei’s head, starting from dire financial straits down to difficulties in finding new apartment as soon as possible.

But of course it was Shen Jingwei’s loud-mouthed little sister who came up with a conclusion of her own, "Big Brother, did you secretly marry Big Brother Yan in Taiwan?"
