Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me
Chapter 312 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (13)

Chapter 312: Chapter 312 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (13)

The two men had enough self-restraint to keep their hands to each other until they returned to Lang Yuxuan’s apartment.

Once the door fell close, though, they were all over each other.

Lang Yuxuan, obviously the more experienced and knowledgeable one between them, was ready for anything, but Feng Jietang was not.

All online articles he read to understand the emotional and physical dynamics between two men in a homosexual relationship rendered him good on paper only.

Once he caught sight of Lang Yuxuan’s naked upper body, for example, he quickly froze with his jaw wide open in utter bewilderment.

This reaction naturally led to another round of mockery from Lang Yuxuan.

"Heh."

Lang Yuxuan shook uncontrollably from laughter.

"Hahahahahahahaha...!!!!"

Feng Jietang, who was deep red in the face, could only purse his lips in displeasure.

"I am still learning, okay???" he snapped.

Lang Yuxuan had to wipe tears off the ends of his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah."

He wanted to pick his shirt from the floor, but Feng Jietang stopped him. The man dragged him into his arms and held him tight.

"Don’t," he mumbled shyly. "I like seeing you naked."

Lang Yuxuan arched a brow at his new boyfriend.

Why, Feng Jietang actually had a cute side to him. Surprising.

Anyway, there was no need to rush.

They had just begun. May this relationship blossom and grow, filled with sweet moments and cherished memories.

Later in the day, they cuddled on the couch while watching New Year’s program on television.

Coincidentally, the first channel they tuned to was a show featuring an interview with Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei about their recent marriage.

"Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei, news of your marriage continues to dominate Weibo’s trending topics," so the host commented.

Both Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei broke into a smile in unison. Their hands were locked between them, their fingers intimately intertwined.

"Our apologies. We did not mean to outshine anyone," Yan Renzhong cheekily answered.

"As always, we cannot thank our fans enough for their unwavering dedication and support," Shen Jingwei added.

"Spill the tea, you two. Who proposed to whom?" the host grinned.

Yan Renzhong pointed to himself.

"I did, of course."

Shen Jingwei turned his head and arched a brow at him.

"What do you mean, ’of course’?"

Yan Renzhong responded by pressing a kiss against their joined hands, prompting the host to squeal in delight.

"I have been planning our marriage for months. There is no way you will propose ahead of me."

"For months, Yan Renzhong, really???" The host began fanning her own face. "Woah, you must love your husband so deeply. Ladies, we are all so jealous, aren’t we???"

"Certainly." Yan Renzhong winked at his husband. "My love for him grows with every passing second we spend together."

A charming blush adorned Shen Jingwei’s cheeks, making him look even more endearing to the audience.

A round of cheers followed until the host held her hand up to silence them.

"The intricate design of your wedding rings has gone viral on the net. Mind showing your fingers to everyone???"

"Sure, sure."

The camera zoomed in on the wedding bands adorning their ring fingers. Yan Renzhong’s ring featured a majestic lion head cradling a brilliant diamond, with the band carved to resemble a lion’s body. Shen Jingwei’s ring, on the other hand, displayed a sinuous dragon winding its way around his finger.

"Woah, look at that. Is it true that you drew your inspiration from the BL drama you two feature in?"

"Correct. Dance Of The Dragons," Shen Jingwei nodded.

"I specifically asked the author to approve on the designs sent by the ringmakers," Yan Renzhong said.

"What! Really! Wow, you sure put a lot of attention to the detail, Yan Renzhong!" The host was endlessly amazed.

Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang continued watching the interview in silence. At one point, Lang Yuxuan closed his eyes and looked away.

Feng Jietang draped an arm around him and tugged at him.

"Are you reminiscing about your past feelings for Yan Renzhong?"

It better be past feelings, or else...

"No," Lang Yuxuan sighed. "I realize that what I crave all along was not necessarily Senior Yan’s love but fame. I can’t begin to regret all the stupid things I have done to achieve my goals. In the end, all that is left is shame."

Feng Jietang raised his hand and patted Lang Yuxuan on the head.

"Be good from now on. Besides, I will be with you for a long, long time."

Lang Yuxuan’s lips curved into a smile.

"Long enough to make me a ring with a design befitting Wuyang Palace?"

Feng Jietang laughed.

"Why not. One day, we too will show off our rings across television screen, and make everyone jealous of us."

Author’s note :

Woah, thirteen Chapters to cover this arc. I didn’t expect it to be this long, but this is already the abridged version in my opinion, hahaha~

Ah yes, readers who read this far, this author has a little confession to make.

Actually, Liu Wenyuan’s death in "Dance Of The Dragons" saddened me to a certain degree. Yes, he was a villain, but he was also a victim.

As an omega hailing from the palace master’s family, he was constantly under pressure to marry into the best family possible.

For him, love had never been as important as status.

After he gained the Ethereal Beauty title, he developed a delusion that the three realms and their residents were obliged to get him what he desired at all costs.

Since Xie Jianyu did not show him enough interest, he settled for Zhang Fengxi. They had a harmonious, loving relationship for a while, until he let his ambition and hatred for the world take root deep within him and consume him from inside.

Some readers might notice, some might not. Remember the frantic soul that shoved Xie Jianyu’s soul off the bridge? That was Liu Wenyuan. Even after reincarnating, he failed to get rid of the resentment budding in him. It even evolved into fear and suspicion toward anyone and anything.

In a way, Liu Wenyuan was a tragic character whom I wanted to save, but did not know how.

That’s why I strived to give him a closure in this arc.

Lang Yuxuan too went along the path Liu Wenyuan did, but unlike Liu Wenyuan, he regained his senses before it was too late. Probably also thanks to Feng Jietang, xixixi...

Readers, this author cannot emphasize enough the importance of knowing the right time to let go and leave.

This author, too, had been in love many many times. I, too, once chased someone I loved. I, too, once lost someone I loved to another person. I, too, was once haughty and considered myself above everyone, so naturally men must lie at my feet, worshipping me, xixixi... (not anymore, no worries).

I have done so many dumb mistakes and suffered through immense pain that I could have avoided if only I learned this lesson a little sooner.

Without knowing at what junction of life my dearest readers currently are, this author wishes you all a happy, purposeful, and satisfying life.

When you put yourself first, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to get what you want.

Sometimes, not always, you will derive more joy in life by letting go and leaving the painful situation behind. Close that Chapter and move on.

All right then, with one extra arc finished, we move on to the next side couple. Do you know whom I am talking about? (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
