On the very first day of university registration, Feng Yuan successfully got into a relationship!
That night, unable to contain his excitement, Feng Yuan found it impossible to fall asleep.
Qin Xun held him close, eyes already shut.
But Feng Yuan secretly opened his eyes.
He reached for his phone on the bedside table, intending to kill some time scrolling through it during his sleepless hours.
Yet as his hand stretched out, fumbling around, instead of finding his phone, he first encountered Qin Xun’s large hand.
Qin Xun’s hand naturally closed around his.
“Yuan Yuan, can’t sleep?”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan confessed honestly, “I’m too happy to sleep.”
Hearing this, Qin Xun leaned down and kissed his forehead.
“Let me tell you a story.”
Seeing that Qin Xun was about to launch into one of his soporific English tales again, Feng Yuan hurriedly covered his ears.
“I don’t want to hear a story.”
“Only little kids listen to those. I’m all grown up now.”
“Qin Xun.”
Rejecting the idea of being treated like a child, Feng Yuan pulled his hand back.
In one swift motion, he rolled over and climbed on top of Qin Xun.
Under the dim glow of the nightlight.
Feng Yuan’s gaze burned as he stared at Qin Xun’s handsome face.
Unlike Qin Xun, who only kissed his forehead, Feng Yuan boldly pressed his lips directly to Qin Xun’s.
From Qin Xun’s lips, to his chin, then to his Adam’s apple…
Feng Yuan realized he was a bit of a little pervert.
The more he kissed, the more he wanted to keep going.
“I want a new way to fall asleep. No stories, and definitely no math problems.”
The kind of sleep aid Feng Yuan had in mind was obvious.
Qin Xun’s Adam’s apple bobbed heavily.
His eyes darkened. His gaze toward Feng Yuan took on a hint of possessiveness.
“Yuan Yuan, are you sure?”
“Absolutely!”
Feng Yuan answered without hesitation.
Qin Xun’s large hand cupped his waist, their foreheads pressed together as Qin Xun’s voice dropped to a low, husky tone.
“Yuan Yuan, we’ve just started dating. I don’t want to rush into anything that might disrespect you.”
Most new couples tend to keep things innocent for a while at the beginning.
But in Feng Yuan’s eyes, they didn’t need any buffer period.
What he and Qin Xun shared wasn’t built in a day or two.
They had been together for many years.
“Qin Xun, I want to disrespect you.”
Just as Qin Xun was still hesitating about whether to cross that line, Feng Yuan blinked and had already started to cross it himself.
Wrapping his arms around Qin Xun’s neck, this time his kisses were even more fervent.
The bedside lamp didn’t go out until the early hours of the morning.
By the time Feng Yuan fell asleep, his cheeks were flushed pink.
He had been “disrespected” twice by Qin Xun’s large hands.
Feng Yuan fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes, sinking into a deep slumber.
Qin Xun watched his sleeping face, unable to sleep himself.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Qin Xun murmured, brushing his fingers against Feng Yuan’s cheek.
He felt overwhelmingly happy.
He was truly lucky and blessed. During the darkest days of his childhood, he had met Feng Yuan.
From then on, there was no more gloom in his life.
“Yuan Yuan, thank you.”
Thank you for coming into my life and staying by my side.
“I love you.”
Qin Xun’s voice was soft but earnest.
His confession was filled with deep emotion.
Unfortunately, Feng Yuan, already fast asleep, didn’t hear a single word.
The next morning.
Feng Yuan had intended to get up and make a loving breakfast.
But he didn’t wake up as early as Qin Xun.
By the time he got ready and came out, Qin Xun had already set breakfast on the table.
“Yuan Yuan, come eat. You have an 8 a.m. class today.”
Feng Yuan’s class schedule had already been released.
Qin Xun printed out his class schedule and kept a copy both on his phone and at home.
Feng Yuan’s course load was quite heavy at the start of the semester.
However, these classes wouldn’t officially begin right away.
The formal course content would only start after the military training ended.
For now, the classes were just a way to gather the students and let them get familiar with each other’s faces.
Feng Yuan hadn’t yet developed any strong feelings about the early 8 a.m. classes.
As he sat down to eat, he remarked to Qin Xun how relaxed university classes seemed.
“In high school, I had classes all day long.”
“Now, in university, I don’t even have to attend a full day.”
“This is amazing!”
Feng Yuan’s joy was evident to Qin Xun, who took a bite of his paper-skinned bun and decided not to dampen his spirits at that moment.
Freshmen who had just graduated from high school always started with such an optimistic mindset.
But once they adjusted to the pace of university life…
Feng Yuan would probably start complaining soon enough.
Qin Xun’s prediction turned out to be a bit late.
Halfway through Feng Yuan’s military training, he came home with a dejected expression.
“I’m so tired, Qin Xun. I can’t get up in the morning at all.”
“Why won’t it rain? If only it would rain.”
In an attempt to make it rain, Feng Yuan secretly sought help from other divine beast uncles.
But his actions were discovered by Feng Qi.
Feng Qi rushed over and scolded him.
“Feng Yuan, do you think you can just interfere with the weather as you please?”
“I warned you before the semester started not to cause any trouble!”
“And now, not long after, you’re already trying to stir up trouble again.”
Feng Qi’s scolding left his son looking utterly dejected.
After reprimanding him, Feng Qi didn’t leave immediately.
He had come to stay for a few days, accompanying Li Sheng, who was there to handle some official business.
Qin Xun’s large apartment had three bedrooms.
He and Feng Yuan only occupied one room, leaving the other two empty, including the upstairs area.
Feng Qi and Li Sheng didn’t go upstairs. They stayed with Feng Yuan on the third floor.
With both dads around, Feng Yuan became noticeably more subdued.
He acted obediently in front of his dads but dropped all pretense of being well-behaved when he was with Qin Xun.
“Qin Xun, you haven’t kissed me in two days!”
Feng Yuan, who had come to visit Qin Xun at his university after finishing military training and having no classes, held up two fingers and spoke seriously as he confronted Qin Xun.
Qin Xun gently grasped his fingers and clarified, “Didn’t I kiss you this morning? And last night before bed, too.”
Feng Yuan shook his head. “Those don’t count.”
He protested, “Morning and goodnight kisses aren’t included in the tally.”
Aside from their morning and bedtime kisses, they hadn’t shared any other affectionate moments lately, which left Feng Yuan feeling dissatisfied.
Qin Xun looked at the young man counting their kisses and sighed helplessly. “Yuan Yuan, Uncle Feng and Uncle Li are still at home.”
“We need to be a bit more careful.”
“Once they leave in a couple of days, I’ll make it up to you, okay?”
“No.”
Feng Yuan remained unsatisfied. “My dad kisses too, you know.”
“We’re in a relationship now. Kissing is perfectly legal and acceptable.”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan seemed to have a sudden realization and brought up another matter.
“Oh, and you still haven’t made our relationship public.”
“Are you trying to keep us a secret?”
Qin Xun replied firmly, “No.”
To this day, Qin Xun still felt as if being with Feng Yuan was like a dream.
How could he ever want to keep their relationship hidden?
He just had his concerns: “Yuan Yuan, you’ve always had a lot of fans. If we go public, would it affect you…”
Qin Xun’s worries stemmed from Feng Yuan’s identity.
Feng Yuan had participated in child reality shows since he was young and was a kid many netizens followed closely.
Over the years, his fanbase had only grown.
Qin Xun was afraid he might negatively impact Feng Yuan’s popularity or something.
When Feng Yuan heard this concern, the little guy was momentarily stunned.
“Qin Xun, you’ve really thought this through.”
He himself hadn’t even considered this issue.
Things like online popularity—he simply didn’t care about them.
“Qin Xun, I’m not a celebrity. No one gets to interfere with my private life.”
When Feng Yuan was younger, he loved being in front of the camera. But as he grew older, he no longer enjoyed appearing on screen.
He had even less desire to become a celebrity.
He felt he had too much “dirt” on him.
If he were to actually debut as a star, he was afraid he’d be cyberbullied into quitting the industry by the afternoon, right after debuting in the morning.
Things like getting into fights at school, ranking at the bottom of exams, and having a bunch of “little followers” at school…
All of these could be blown out of proportion and lead to online harassment.
Feng Yuan had a strong sense of self-preservation.
He couldn’t stand being criticized or cyberbullied.
“Come on, let’s take a photo!”
Without explaining further to Qin Xun, Feng Yuan grabbed his hand and snapped a picture.
In the photo, their fingers were interlaced.
He posted the picture everywhere. On his social media, Weibo, video platforms…
He shared it across all his platforms.
Yuan Yuan: Want to hold your hand forever.
Content: Photo x2.
The post was simple and straightforward.
Shortly after he posted it, Feng Yuan’s private messages blew up.
Many friends and classmates were messaging him.
Under his post, a long string of comments had already appeared.
Xu Jiale: “Showing off again! [lemon]”
Eggy: “Wow! Big bro is amazing!”
Rong Rong: “So sweet! I hope you two stay happy forever!”
Eggy replied to Rong Rong: “Rong Rong, you still haven’t replied to my message [crying] [crying] [crying]”
Rong Rong replied to Eggy: “I just checked my phone!”
There were quite a few people in the comments. Feng Yuan hadn’t replied to any of them.
That is, until he saw his dad had liked the post.
The adults weren’t as active in the comments as the younger folks.
They just quietly hit the like button.
When Feng Yuan saw the likes from the parents, he grinned.
“Qin Xun, the dads aren’t objecting!”
“As for other people’s opinions, I don’t care about them at all.”
Watching Feng Yuan’s series of actions, Qin Xun pursed his lips. Then the next second, he pulled Feng Yuan into a hug.
The two of them were standing near a pavilion in front of the small bamboo grove on campus.
The scenery here was beautiful. It had long been known as the “lovers’ corner” of the school.
Many couples liked to spend time here.
Not far from Feng Yuan, another couple was being affectionate.
Qin Xun was usually very reserved in public.
He had never been intimate with Feng Yuan outdoors before.
But this time, he couldn’t hold back.
He lowered his head, cupped Feng Yuan’s face, and kissed him firmly.
“Wow!”
A couple passing by saw the scene and, forgetting their own intimacy, immediately snapped a photo to commemorate the moment!
Later, that photo was even posted online.
The picture was beautifully taken, full of atmosphere.
When Feng Yuan saw it, he happily saved it for himself.
After Feng Yuan announced their relationship publicly online, Qin Xun also made an official declaration on his social media.
Feng Yuan had assumed that even if he made it public, he would do so subtly.
But when he opened it to look, he discovered that Qin Xun’s post contained only three words.
Qin: “I love you.”
Feng Yuan: “Ahhhh!”
Feng Yuan hugged Qin Xun and showered him with kisses.
“Qin Xun, I love you, too!”
From their childhood companionship to the budding love as they grew up, their bond was irreplaceable in this lifetime.
As the young couple basked in their sweet affection, the adults in their families breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Their Yuan Yuan had gained another layer of happiness through love.
Moonlit: The next chapters would be Eggy and Rong Rong’s story.
