《Screen Partner》 Chapter 1 Screen Partner Chapter 1 Xu Zheyi knew that his acting career was coming to an end. He debuted ten years ago, but only the first three years were fairly good. At that time he was still a fresh college student. Almost every popular magazine displayed his figure, and in the industry he was a fairly well known male model. Later, a start-up brokerage company found him. He didn¡¯t think much about the signing since from the start he was a star. At first, his income was really good. He played supporting roles in several idol dramas, commercials and was even a regular guest on some variety shows. Although he couldn¡¯t seem to make it to A-list, being a B-list star really wasn¡¯t that bad either. Xu Zheyi had always been quite well off. He liked stylish clothes and tried to save money in order to open a clothing shop in the future. He had a friend who had the same idea as he did. With two people taking out their savings and then borrowing some money from the bank, they were able to rent a small shop in the east district. His friends flew to South Korea and Japan several times, in order to bring back items of the highest quality and with the best style. Xu Zheyi also specially requested his former magazine editor friends for favours; he asked them to help publicize the store in their magazines. Everything seemed to be on the right track until that fateful day when he suddenly wanted to see the store on a whim. Strangely, when he arrived, the door was shut tightly. He opened the door with a spare key and found that the whole store had been emptied. At first, he thought that he had been robbed. He soon realized, after many unsuccessful attempts to contact his friend, that he had been swindled. Xu Zheyi never asked about the things in the shop. He did not understand the accounts, and looking at them gave him a headache, so he left it all to his friend to deal with. Because of this, when the bank called to collect the loan, he found out that his friend had borrowed a large sum of money under his name. It was the darkest period of Xu Zheyi¡¯s life. He had to take full responsibility for the debt owed, and the police couldn¡¯t provide any help¡ªeven though they were alarmed. All of his accounts were frozen, with only a few thousand yuan in cash at hand. Although a couple of good friends pooled together a sum of money so that he can live for a while, he still needs a lot of money to pay off his debts. Towards that end, he took several low-budget film in Hong Kong. Some of them were not only low budget but also of low character, and the director didn¡¯t even treat the people there nicely. All of his enthusiasm for acting was completely worn out at that time. The profits for the low budget piece were more than the general announcement, but Xu Zheyi¡¯s image was ruined. He did not receive calls for other projects anymore. The results of acting in low-budget film are severe; directors think he is too wooden, with no flexibility. Xu Zheyi didn¡¯t know that from beginning to an end, his friend wore an innocent face, but in fact the frog in the mirror1 was a total scum. What was this kind of acting? A while ago, his contract ended and the brokerage firm did not offer a renewal. They reached the end of the contract termination and they just sat there for a minute. After he hesitated for a while, his agent handed him a contract. ¡°You go back, read through this, and think about it. If you want, I can help you and the film dealer get in contact. I won¡¯t inform the company about this contract, nor will I take a cut. I¡¯m doing this as a friend to help you.¡± When Xu Zheyi heard these words, he knew that the contract was not quite right. He returned home, sat down to read through the contract carefully, and could not help laughing bitterly. It was a GV (gay adult video) contract. It was for a Japanese GV company known as the biggest project exporter of the year. The offered price was very attractive, enough for him to pay all the debt and would even left a bit of money. However, he needed to sign an agreement to do three films. The contract also specified the need for anal penetration in the film. Xu Zheyi was sure that he¡¯s a straight man. From the past until now, he had had many girlfriends, as well as a lot of sexual experiences. Although he didn¡¯t seem to have the same enthusiasm towards sex as other men of the same age, when he needed release, the only thing he wanted was a woman¡¯s soft body, not a man¡¯s genitals. But he did once waver in his sexuality, and the only time it was because of the situation he found himself in. Ming Ban2 was a pretty good-looking gay, with long white limbs and a comely face. His personality was also quite introverted, and even just a little teasing would elicit a blush. When Xu Zheyi first saw Ming Ban, he did not know why, but he particularly wanted to talk to him. He remembered that for a while he was hanging out with Ming, just the two of them doing nothing but chatting and watching TV. At that time, Ming said, ¡°Xu, we should open a shop together. Once we have enough money, we can buy a house near the shop for us to live, and if we reached 40, and no one married yet, we can live together.¡± Xu Zheyi especially liked to listen to Ming say ¡°we¡±. That single word seemed to bind him and Ming, making them inseparable. Xu Zheyi admitted, he hadn¡¯t even shown his girlfriend the same gentleness that he had shown Ming Ban. Even so, when he thought of himself and Ming kissing, he still could not imagine it. And, in the end, Ming even cost him the shirt off his back, leaving him buried in debt. Since then, Xu Zheyi began to hate gays. He felt that they caused him, whether it was psychologically or physiologically, to feel extremely disgusting. Thanks a million to Shem for editing this for me!! Frog in the mirror: it¡¯s a meme. I¡¯m pretty sure. Basically, what you see is not what you get. I¡¯m sure you¡¯d recognize it if you googled it. Originally the name was Meng Ban, but to avoid confusion with the term meng I just decided to change it. Maybe that¡¯s bad. He¡¯s a jerk so I don¡¯t care. Chapter 2 Screen Partner Chapter 2 Xu Zheyi, after his contract ended, began searching for work. The bank¡¯s compounding interest was crushing him, he had to find a stable and well-paid job to get his debts paid on time each month, which was not easy for him. But he had no other work experience after graduating from college, except acting in an entertainment business. Having had a large number of resumes resulted in nothing, and with his payment deadlines looming two weeks from now, Xu Zheyi picked up the contract(for the GV). And at the exact moment, his agent, Xiao Jim, called. ¡°So, what do you think about it?¡± Xu Zheyi did not answer. After working with him for years, Xiao Ji knew that such a silence represented a promise. ¡°This is a big company, they have a lot of money to give and you don¡¯t have to worry that they will owe you money.¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯ve seen this series of GV, and they¡¯re different from the usual. The filming is very high quality.¡± Xu Zheyi scoffed. High quality GV or not, doesn¡¯t it still have an anal sex in it? The mere thought of being penetrated and by a stranger no less, made him nauseous to the point of vomiting. ¡°You take the script and the contract and look them over again. In a couple days I will arrange for you and the director to meet. There maybe a screen test, and if neither side has any problems, then you can sign the contract.¡± ¡°¡­ A screen test?¡± ¡°Besides you, there are three other candidates there,¡± he explained, ¡°The meaning of that screen test is to assign you to a compatible partner based on the results, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s easy to speculate on the Japanese mind. Be prepared for anything.¡± Xu Zheyi understood the meaning in Xiao Ji¡¯s words, and could not help but swear inwardly, he did not expect that such gay adult videos were so popular with the public. ¡°I¡¯ll probably going to know who¡¯s on the list, so I¡¯ll try to send you the names later,¡± promised Xiao Ji. Xu Zheyi silently ended the phone call. His mind was a total mess, and it left him feeling very irritable. He picked up the script again to read through it, and although he tried reading through it several times, he could not even bring himself to go on. It was only by thinking of the money that he could eventually force himself, reluctantly, to read. The project, which belonged to the ?Boyfriend? series, it was played by two GV actors who were satisfied by their sweet interactions and lovemakings. This series of films set staggering sales record in Japan. The main target base was not only gay men looking for more romance, but also specifically for the rotten female group1. For these reasons, this series of films emphasized romantic aestheticism, rather than focusing on sensory stimulation. For this year¡¯s overseas plans, the company¡¯s main focus was two Taiwanese couples. Their biggest selling point would be the true feelings between lovers and affectionate physical interactions. Xu Zheyi opened the script and found that all of the characters were replaced by ABCD, which meant that none of the actors are currently fixed. He was a little bit conflicted inside. He didn¡¯t know whether to fight for the top or bottom. After all, playing the bottom role means being penetrated, but if he chose to act as a top then he would have to penetrate someone. But the thought of his genitals going deep into someone else¡¯s butt made Xu Zheyi want to give up right there. The script was also very embarrassing. Since it was taking the form of a documentary, the whole film was divided into three parts. The first and second part of the film included both couples; it starts off with an interview of each couple, and then it follows the day-to-day relationship between the two people going through their daily routine, and then the highlight of sex. The third part had all four people go to the seaside for a date, and to play beach volleyball. In the evening, although they were obviously four Taiwanese men, they would don a yukata and light Fairy Sticks2 and then finish it off by heading to bed with their respective partners. However, when he got to the character profiles for the script, Xu Zheyi was quite surprised. The brief overview was only part of the character introduction, each character¡¯s information took up four pages¡ªeven their favorite food was marked out. To have created four fictional characters with such depth out of thin air, those hard working Japanese filmmakers would not lose to anyone. How each couple met was also laid out in the script. Characters A and B initially hated the mere sight of each other, and while they were trying to look for each other¡¯s flaws, they discovered their good points and eventually fell in love. As for characters C and D, it was the predestined love at first sight. From the list of names provided by Xiao Ji, Xu Zheyi searched the internet for the other three actor candidates and found that one of them was actually a red star. He already had a lot of experience in the exchange between Chinese and Japanese, but it was difficult to know what the person¡¯s attitude just from the photo. The next actor looked very good; he had shot a few GV and his eyebrows were very fine¡ªapparently he was a bottom. The last name on the list was familiar to Xu Zheyi, called Ah Li, a magazine model, and could be counted as his junior. Compared to the other two, he was barely within his tolerance. Xu Zheyi turned on his computer and popped in the included disc from a previous ?Boyfriend? series film that was included with the paperwork. After only five minutes, he could no longer handle it, jamming the eject button until it stopped. He really could not watch the men talk and talk about love. Every word of affection they spoke, every bit of eye contact, it all made him think of Ming Ban, and that made him reflexively felt disgusting. Xu Zheyi knew that he has a psychological problem, but he did not know what to do about it. He was not too positive; he had to find an outlet for his twisted hatred towards Ming, or else one day he would go mad. Rotten girl aka fujoshi, fufufu A type of sparkler Actor who has starred in erotic play/film Big thanks again to Shem for editing!!! She has greatly assisted me in bring this chapter out. I do it on my phone, on the go, and so does she. Chapter 3 Screen Partner Chapter 3 After repeated psychological struggles, Xu Zheyi decided to sign the contract. He arrived at the audition 10 minutes earlier than the appointed time, and after checking in with the receptionist, he was taken to the lounge. There were already two people sitting in the lounge. One of them was the GV actor, who appeared to be more petite than his photo suggested. He glanced indifferently at the door when Xu Zheyi walked in, gave him a cursory glance, and closed his eyes and continued to listen to music.In comparison, Ah Li was much more passionate. ¡°Hi, may I call you Yi?¡± Ah Li sat down next to him, all of a sudden too close to Xu Zheyi, who let out an almost imperceptible frown, but altogether managed to maintain a warm look on the surface. ¡°Sure, you are Ah Li?¡± Ah Li immediately raised a his eyebrows in pleasure, ¡°You know me?¡± Xu Zheyi lifted the corner of his mouth, ¡°Xiao Chun and I discussed you several times. He said as long as you appeared in the issue of the magazine, sales will be particularly good.¡± This may have been said as a polite remark, but it was also true. He had a slender and sturdy body, a handsome face, and a pleasing smile, like a golden retriever that followed you around everywhere. This look was very popular among female readers. ¡°What¡¯s that, I simply can not compare with you,¡± Ah Li smiled embarrassedly, ¡°Hey, can I exchange numbers with you?¡± ¡°Fine,¡± Xu Zheyi took out his cell phone from his pocket. After the exchange was completed, Ah Li moved his hands over his phone and, soon after, Xu Zheyi¡¯s cell phone vibrated. His alert indicated he received an email from Ah Li. Xu Zheyi glanced at him, and then opened the message, which read: Why don¡¯t we try making a team, the guy next to you looks a little too enigmatic. Finally, a big smiley emoji was attached. Xu Zheyi looked at that smelly faced G star, and not stop himself from sneering slightly, returned: I guess. They looked at each other, and reached a consensus. The next second, the door whipped open and Xu Zheyi looked back as a tall man came in. Xu Zheyi initially thought he was a staff member, but after seeing his face, he felt he was a bit familiar. ¡°Ruka,¡± called the GV star that they had been mutually ignoring. He put down his phone, removed his headphones, and spoke with a tone of voice that hinted at past intimacy. ¡°Long time no see. I didn¡¯t think you would promise to perform this film, I asked Naho and them, they all told me you decided to quit the circle ¡­ ¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± The tall man frowned with indifference, and paid no account to his kindness. Xu Zheyi, having seen his frown, suddenly remembered he is that a red star. It¡¯s just that he had flamboyant brown-blonde hair in his photo, and it is now a low-key black. The GV star was blindsided by his blunt answer to his polite questioning, his face reddened with embarrassment. After taking a bit of time to calm his temper, he replied with a smile, ¡°I am Xiang, and we met before at Naho¡¯s party.¡± Ruka let out a nondescript sound, and did not respond any more. He showed no interest in getting along with the other side. Xiang¡¯s smiling face finally lost its liveliness. The atmosphere in the room is left completely awkward as time dragged on. Finally, someone knocked lightly at the door several times before pushing it open. A young female staffer with a sweet smile walked in. ¡°If you are ready, please move with me to the studio on the fourth floor.¡± Ruka was the first to stand up, and the other three people also began to rise following him. Xu Zheyi stares at Ruka¡¯s back, secretly praying he would not have to cooperate with this man. Filming a GV itself was already a very unpleasant thing. If he had to partner with someone with such a poor personality, Xu Zheyi really cannot imagine how things would boil down during filming. It was probably his silence that caused Ah Li to misunderstand. Xu Zheyi felt his shoulder get patted gently; he looked up and saw Ah Li smiling at him kindly. ¡°Will you be nervous?¡± Ah Li asked. Xu Zheyi chuckled and was about to answer, when he heard Xiang make a disapproving humming sound. ¡°Are you going to shoot or join hands? If you¡¯re looking for a quickie please go online to find a better place, it¡¯s less disgusting than being seen here.¡± The corridor was not spacious, and Xiang did not suppress his volume, so everyone heard his provocative words. Ah Li¡¯s face was twisted in anger, and even Ruka looked back, but Xu Zheyi paid him no mind. When ridiculed in the past, he was accustomed to constant paparazzi during filming, which is still a minor case. He looked down at the sight of Xiang, his tone faint, ¡°Why? Eating a turtle in someone else¡¯s place? Or are those words actually for yourself?1¡± He went on with his head held high. This is the best comeback he has ever made, and he must leave the scene before the other side makes a counter, so that the other person will only hate him in his heart. They crowded into the elevator, and Xu Zheyi pretended to inadvertently sweep a glance; sure enough the other side is still full of anger. He can¡¯t help laughing, and suddenly felt someone staring at him. He turned his eyes and, unexpectedly, caught sight of Ruka. The two people looked at each other, and then the next second they put their heads aside. The turtles thing is basically explained in the next sentence. I think. Chapter 4 Screen Partner Chapter 4 When the four of them stepped into the studio, the crew was almost finished getting ready. Xu Zheyi took a look around at the set up. The room had two cameras, a big screen monitor, and a long table set up behind the main camera. The long table sat four people, and in front of the camera was a small double sofa. Due to the prior notice that there would be an audition today, everyone made the necessary preparations at home, so the makeup artists were only responsible for covering up their shiny faces. This caused the prep work to be finished very quickly, and before long, they were in front of the staff, paired up into groups of two to start shooting photos. When Xu Zheyi came in, his expression was obviously a bit unpleasant, but in front of the camera, those unhappy emotions were all tucked out of sight. Xiang was also a dedicated actor, so when the photographer requested that the two people hug and kiss topless, while acting like a real couple, he would. In the end of the shoot with Xu Zheyi, he gave a gentle pep talk. Xu Zheyi somehow responded to the smile, and then took a deep breath. If he was just naked, he had quite a lot of experience, but he was kissing with the same sex¡­just imagining it made his spine tingle. Xu Zheyi slowly stood in front of the camera, and the screen faithfully reflected his figure to the observers. His naked upper body¡¯s muscles were not developed, but their texture was very beautiful. There was not a single trace of excess weight, plus his 180cm height, lined up next to the 160cm stature of Xiang was a good contrast. Seeing him come over, Xiang obviously put on smelly face, but when the photographer began to press the shutter, his expression and movement became extremely enthusiastic and sweet. Xu Zheyi also managed to pose naturally alongside him. It may be that because there was little difference between the figure of Xiang and the average woman, Xu Zheyi did not feel awkward in his embrace. He was subconsciously biased against his face when kissed him on the lips, but the effect of the photo was very good. This caused a long pause at the table before a few people whispered in discussion. ¡°Xiang may be too much for him to handle, but Ruka is ready to play,¡± The photographer announced. Xu Zheyi closed his eyes, and let the makeup artist reapply foundation and powder on his face to reduce the shine. Once it was completed he opened his eyes to find that Ruka had come over beside him. His tall body brought a sense oppression over Xu Zheyi, who quietly found himself retreating back a half step. Xu Zheyi¡¯s height was usually considered quite tall, but Ruka exceeded him by half a head. Next to Xu Zheyi¡¯s pale white, his naked upper body is chocolate in color, from his chest down to his stomach area, where the muscles are particularly sexy. Enhanced by the lighting, the faint appearance of shadows highlighting his firm figure is very tempting. Different from Xiang¡¯s petite cuteness, Ruka¡¯s body exudes an aggressive male air. There is no way Xu Zheyi could convince himself that this was a tall woman. At the same time he was also annoyed to find that at Ruka¡¯s side, his sense of existence was rapidly shrinking. His small amount of momentum was completely crushed. ¡°Zheyi, you have to put on a little bit of expression, you are lovers, not enemies.¡± The photographer¡¯s joke was originally just to ease Xu Zheyi¡¯s tension, but to Zheyi¡¯s ear, it sounded like discontented reproach. His movements stiffened, and he could hardly laugh. For a moment, he was even afraid of the camera. Seeing that the state of Xu Zheyi is not quite right, the photographer took several photos, then issued instructions to kiss, deciding to end the two people¡¯s photographic work ahead of time. Ruka provocatively looked at the lens, rudely caught hold of Xu Zheyi¡¯s chin, and kissed him. His movement and angle were very ingenious. Just by using his lips to wrap Xu Zheyi¡¯s lower lip, the on screen outcome looked like an intense, deep kiss. The photographer was finally satisfied, and excitedly began to take photos. The Xu Zheyi who was standing in front of the camera had to wipe his lips, feeling extremely frustrated. He knew he had screwed up. Even if he failed to audition for a GV, he was so frustrated that he could not speak; such was the shock of kissing a man. He went to the bathroom, washed his face and tried to calm down. When he returned to the studio again, all the shots were finished and the monitor¡¯s screen was showing the photos most recently taken, and a lot of people were watching. Ah Li was standing there and saw him come, and whispered to him, ¡°The camera loves that man.¡± On the screen were Xu Zheyi and Ruka¡¯s partner photographs, and the effect was better than Xu Zheyi could have imagined. Unfortunately, standing at Ruka¡¯s side, he was just like a human body board; his expression was sluggish, and his limbs were stiff. Ruka almost does not need expressions, and the movement that the photograph draws out is attractive¡ªthe lens loves him. ¡°I just heard that they had made up their minds,¡± Ah Li whispered, ¡°Xiang and I will be a group, and you and Ruka. Soon they will conduct video interviews to assign the roles and character settings.¡± Hearing that he still had the opportunity to be in the performance, Xu Zheyi breathed a sigh of relief and said heartily, ¡°Thank you.¡± There was no need to tell him such information. He has been in this circle for so many years, there are only a handful of enthusiastic people. ¡°Although it may seem weird to say this, I hope I can work with you the next time I have a chance.¡± Ah Li smiled shyly. Xu Zheyi politely smiled back, but in his heart was thinking, that is never going to happen. Here it is. I am approaching the goodies. Let me know if you spot any lil oopsies. D-day approaches for poor Xu Zheyi. Chapter 5 Screen Partner Chapter 5 Although Xu Zheyi truly did not want to shoot the GV, when he found himself at risk of losing the job due to his own careless mistakes, he was still panicked. After the somewhat disastrous screen test, he seriously began to pay attention to everything he needed to do, and carefully studied the script. He admitted to being cheap, but he had no other way, he needs the job. ¡°Wait a minute for the 21-page quiz. Zheyi plays character A, and Ruka is character B.¡± After hearing the character assignments, Xu Zheyi can¡¯t help but curse in his heart. He was given the role of the bottom. Although he had been preparing psychologically, his pride and dignity as a man could not let him be happy, even though he was still able to participate in the film. The shooting started after 10 minutes. The seemingly spacious two-seat sofa was crowded after the two men were squeezed on. Xu Zheyi attempted to adjust his posture, otherwise his entire body would be snuggled into Ruka¡¯s bosom. ¡°Can you slide over a little?¡± He asked, looking at the fairly large empty space on the other side of Ruka. When he heard Xu Zheyi¡¯s request, Ruka raised his eyebrows and asked in a way that left no room for discussion, ¡°Why?¡± Xu Zheyi was momentarily struck dumb by his bluntness. He had wanted to ask him if he did not find two big men sitting so closely disgusting, but he heard the countdown sound, and had to take a deep breath before he abruptly swallowed back those words. The monitor screen showed the scene of two people sitting on the couch. Ruka had his feet stretched out comfortably, and his left arm lazily resting on the back of the sofa. In the end it was like he was completely wrapped around Xu Zheyi. Xu Zheyi was very pale, but gave off the feeling of a sunny disposition; he never had trouble attracting women¡¯s attention. However, when he sat beside Ruka in such an ambiguous posture, it was like Ruka was the chocolate coating to his pale white skin. Do people like this kind of thing, will they even be able to summon some sort of sexual fantasy over this¡ªwas all that he could think. A question interrupted his reverie, ¡°How long you two dating? Tell me, how you know each other?¡± The Japanese director was not very fluent in Chinese so his questions were a bit awkwardly worded. Xu Zheyi, in accordance with the requirements of the script, looked at Ruka from the corner of his eye, and laughed, ¡°We have only known one another for about a year. We were introduced briefly at a friend¡¯s party, and gradually grew acquainted. There was a small misunderstanding between us, so we couldn¡¯t see each other for some time.¡± Xu Zheyi paused and felt his hand held by a large palm, and then his fingers were stretched out by the fingers trying to squeeze in between. It was almost like he had received an electric shock to the hand from the Ruka¡¯s palm. The actions had been made according to the script, but even so Xu Zheyi could not help crying out in his heart. According to the script, B had an unconscious habit of playing with A¡¯s fingers. Xu Zheyi, of course, realized that he was caught unprepared for Ruka¡¯s sudden move, and knew he would have to eat a NG1. NGs can happen for reasons big or small, but because this was still the audition, Xu Zheyi presumed that he would leave the director and the other staff with a bad impression. There was a moment of silence in the studio. Ruka smiled as the director prepared to shout ¡®cut¡¯ and quipped, ¡°His fingers are very sensitive.¡± He grabbed Xu Zheyi¡¯s hand and brought it to his mouth, slowly opened his lips, and put the forefinger into his mouth. Xu Zheyi stared, dazed, until his fingers became damp from the suggestive suck-squeeze rhythm that Ruka had used. When he finally realized what was going on, it was like Xu Zheyi had caught on fire; he was burning from head to toe, and his blush was so intensely red it was almost like he may start bleeding. Even his eyelids had turned colour. Ruka swallowed twice and then slowly spit out the finger, smiled at the camera, and then flashed a clear ¡°see¡± expression towards the camera. The director was obviously quite satisfied with the performance, so he did not interrupt the take, and went on to ask the next question. For the rest of the audition there were not really any noticeable mistakes, so they were able to film smoothly until the end. By the time the director shouted ¡°cut!¡±, the two people, who had been glued together on the couch, immediately separated. Xu Zheyi looked at Ruka, and felt that this person did not seem as bad as he had imagined¡ªwhen necessary he was willing to help out his struggling partner. When he was about to say thank you, Ruka frowned impatiently at him and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t you read the script before shooting? Did you really come here just to find a fuck buddy? As soon as the words had left his mouth, without even waiting for an answer to his questions, he got up and left. Xu Zheyi was startled, then immediately grew angry enough to explode. He had definitely been reprimanded by other actors before in his career, but those who did so always had greater seniority than him. This Ruka was just a red film star, what gave him the qualifications to treat him like that? He gritted his teeth and tried to remain calm and polite while he thanked the staff before leaving the scene. He went out to the balcony and smoked two cigarettes, and his anger slowly abated. Xu Zheyi knew what his problems were, just the fact that he was filming a GV, paired with his hatred of physical contact with men; it was no wonder he was ridiculed by others. He certainly knew he should be more dedicated, but he did not know how to overcome his obstacles. The more he tried to convince himself, the more the thought of going through with everything annoyed him. He stood in the wind on the balcony for a while, and then went back inside to the bathroom¡ªhoping that the things that were bothering him would be discharged from his body along with everything else. Halfway through his business, Xu Zheyi heard someone push the door open and come into the washroom. In general he would not mind, and without thinking he turned and glanced, but immediately wanted to pull up his zipper and retreat. Unfortunately it would have been too obvious, he had to try and put forwards an indifferent appearance; the man who came in was Ruka. He slowly swaggered over to the urinal next to Xu Zheyi, pulled down his own zipper, and then gave Xu Zheyi¡¯s exposed lower body a thorough once-over©¤©¤ ¡°Hey!¡± Xu Zheyi protested as he covered himself. Ruka smirked and then, in an infuriatingly lazy tone, he asked, ¡°You there, how messy is your hair down there? You know you¡¯re going to have to shave it all off when we¡¯re filming?¡± Xu Zheyi¡¯s face suddenly swelled red, and at the speed of light he pulled up his zipper, giving the vicious reply, ¡°Mind your own business!¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t it be my business?¡± Ruka smiled, ¡°It¡¯s written in the script that I will be sucking you off, if you have that mess how can I even find where to put my mouth?¡± ¡°Whoa, sexual harassment!¡± Xu Zheyi, cycling through 100 expressions in a minute, hurriedly washed hands and then went out the door. However, after walking out of the bathroom, he felt that he could not leave it at that, so he deliberately headed back in. In the bathroom, Ruka had finished up and was washing his hands. He looked at Xu Zheyi in the mirror and asked, ¡°Why are you back? Would you like to take a look at mine for reference?¡± Xu Zheyi in flushed, but forced himself to to maintain his calm, ¡°I heard that you have made a lot of AVs before, you should have gotten a health check every year, correct?¡± Ruka¡¯s movements paused briefly, then he turned off the faucet with an expressionless face. Xu Zheyi felt he had found his sore spot, and was more positive, ¡°Since we are going to work together, in order to avoid any doubts, would you mind giving me your test results for a look?¡± Ruka turned and looked coldly at Xu Zheyi, and then stretched his hand toward his face. At that moment, Xu Zheyi thought that Ruka might hit him, and reflexively shrank his body. He soon realized that he was, in fact, just reaching for a piece of paper towel to wipe hands dry. ¡°You want to see my health report?¡± ¡°Yes, I do.¡± Ruka lifted his eyebrows, walked next to Xu Zheyi, bent down and whispered in his ear, ¡°But what are you going to trade with me for? Your hymen report?¡± Xu Zheyi was completely silent. At this moment he was deeply aware that in this world, it was true that there was no lower limit. Basically from here out it starts to get more racy. Although maybe not in the way you expect. I¡¯m still working on this on my phone in spare time so, things like lunch breaks etc. The next chapter is quite short so it could be quite quick but, my other two projects are still priority. But it¡¯s definitely fun to have this as a quick and easy fix. And smuuuuuuut. Enjoy! NG stands for no good, as in the scene is no good and they will have to reshoot it. Chapter 6 Screen Partner Chapter 6 After officially signing the contract following his successful audition, Xu Zheyi rushed home simmering with rage. The first thing he did when he arrived was to open his computer. He searched for a film starring Ruka, and then paid the fee to download it. He¡¯s going to have a good look at that guy¡¯s package and see what he is so smug about! Xu Zheyi clenched his teeth while he sat in front of the computer, and watched the film¡¯s download progress bar fill. He waited until the entire film was complete, and then immediately clicked on open. The film was set in a classroom. Who knows where the film producers were able to get so many desks and chairs. The sexy lead actress was lying on one of the tables, and, typical of the absurd plots that AVs had, she was masturbating. Xu Zheyi impatiently skipped this section, fast-forwarding over everything until Ruka finally made his appearance. The film seemed to be following the stereotypical routine. Ruka played the student inadvertently catching his female teacher in a compromising position, and then, at her invitation, they have sex. Seeing Ruka appear in a high school uniform, Xu Zheyi¡¯s spirit was instantaneously on high alert. He was fully concentrated on the screen in front of him, prepared to criticize the arrogant, and no doubt talentless, guy in front of him. Unlike most other adult films, the director gave Ruka a fair amount of frontal face shots. At the time of the film, Ruka looked a bit childlike, and his smile lacked the ¡®evil¡¯ edge it had now. You could just see the little tiger fangs that still gave off such a lovely feeling peeking out from behind his lips. Xu Zheyi stared at the screen for a long time. He could not help but begrudgingly give him recognition; Ruka really was very good looking. When he first saw him, Xu Zheyi only noticed his tall frame and his strong, aggressive male air. However, now that all of his details were objectively magnified on the screen, Xu Zheyi truly found his facial features were not exquisitely handsome, but rather very masculine and handsome. When Ruka faced the lens, the actress in his arms was made to look even smaller by his broad chest¡ªthis only served to make him seem more masculine. A man like this, even if the director was willing to let him lie under his body, Xu Zheyi had no way to be a conscientious top. He doubted he could overcome his own feelings of inferiority in the first place. After acknowledging this, he was frustrated by the drama of flirting that took place between the male and female protagonists, until it was finally time for them to ¡®get down to business¡¯. He observed the naked lower body of the actress. The hair really had been neatly shaved off. Next, he hesitated a moment, then paused when the camera moved over to Ruka. Because this was a high quality film, there was no video mosaic censoring; every intimate detail was filmed quite clearly. Although Ruka¡¯s private parts were not shaved bare, it was clear the area had been well trimmed, and the enlarged and erect organ on the screen was astonishing. Due to the impact of what he was seeing , Xu Zheyi could not help blushing as he averted his eyes. This was probably the first time he had seen an adult film, so seriously looking straight at another man¡¯s superior penis, the shock of the mood temporarily overwhelmed him and he had faint feelings of nausea. Also, at the thought of such a huge thing entering his body, Xu Zheyi felt an involuntary spasm in his stomach. He pressed the play button again, and the voice of the actress gasped out from the speakers. In the film, the actress was lying on the teacher¡¯s desk. Ruka had her legs open to the maximum angle, thrusting into her with with a slow and steady rhythm. The lens stayed for a while on the expression of the actress¡¯s enjoyment, also focusing on her naked, bouncing chest, and then slowly turned to Ruka. Xu Zheyi felt that this director must be one of Ruka¡¯s crazy fans, otherwise what normal man who watched AVs would be interested in closeups on the male lead? Ruka also seemed to notice the lens had pointed at him, and shot back a questioning glance. Xu Zheyi was gradually growing familiar with those provocative eyes. Sure enough, in the next moment he quickened his pace and swung his waist more sharply. His movements were so fierce and straight on, it was as if he was pile-driving into her. The actress¡¯s gasps and groans suddenly grew more high-pitched and louder. Xu Zheyi was startled, and he immediately turned the volume down, but also found that his mouth and tongue had grown unbearably dry. On the screen, Ruka¡¯s strong gluteal muscles were taut. Because his movements were so intense, they were creating the constant sounds of physical impact with every thrust. These, mingled with the cries of the actress, led to a very provocative and sensual atmosphere. Xu Zheyi could not prevent himself from seeing Ruka¡¯s penis. Despite the condom he wore, it could still be seen where the swelling of the purple, thin rubber seemed to bind the beast within as it continued to attack, yearning to be free. Xu Zheyi could not deny it, he was completely hard. At that moment, before the camera, Ruka not only did not slow down, but actually increased the pace of his motions. Clearly his body was doing such fiercely lewd things, but his expression was very indifferent; an absent-minded appearance, forehead slightly oozing sweat¡ªhe looked incredibly sexy. Xu Zheyi finally put his hand inside his underwear, grasping his awakened member. It had been too long since he last masturbated, so perhaps because of this, the hand stroking his penis seemed to be possessed by a spirit. He moved his arm up and down vigorously, and without realizing it himself, he sped up the frequency of his movements gradually until he was able to match the rhythm of the thrusts that Ruka had been maintaining. ¡°Ruka¡­¡­¡± The actress shouted Ruka¡¯s name, and her hands tightly grasped Ruka¡¯s arms that were placed on each side of her body. Soon, her whole body was twitching and trembling. Xu Zheyi could not hold on for much longer. A low, muffled groan escaped from his lips, and all of his pent up desire was released into his hand. So, were you a little disappointed? It¡¯s just a video, but our first ¡°sex scene¡± is het! Although it¡¯s a little cute of our MC to get some solo play going. And noteworthy that he just skipped right on over to where Ruka came in. Hmmmmm. I was up anyways, and this chapter was nice and short, so I decided to just go for it. We aren¡¯t too far from the good stuff though, so fear not my pretties. Chapter 7 Screen Partner Chapter 7 Later, Xu Zheyi buried the film somewhere in the depths of his computer, but for what reason, he was not too clear on himself. A few days after, the filmmakers sent the new script and a few announcements. Xu Zheyi looked and found that the new script seemed to have a few small changes in order to better compliment his and Ruka¡¯s personalities. Although overall, the plot was still quite absurd, Xu Zheyi felt that they had intended to follow some sort of plot, despite it being a GV. A week before filming, he received a phone call from the executive producer. The other party simply exhorted a few points of attention, such as from now until the shoot, actors could not partake in any sexual activity¡ªhe was even forbidden from shooting his own pistol1. ¡°Starting from two days before the shooting, your diet should be light, and the cleansing work in your body must be done thoroughly.¡± ¡°¡­..What do you mean?¡± Xu Zheyi asked, confused. It seemed the producer was not surprised that he would ask, and continued scrupulously explaining, ¡°Because you¡¯ll be performing anal sex and we want to avoid wasting time on retakes if there is any feces, we usually advise the actor to start eating lighter half-liquid foods, such as porridge, two days before filming. In order to have the anus clean, please complete the preparation of the bowels with an enema three hours before filming.¡± Although the other party¡¯s tone was very matter-of-fact, Xu Zheyi was still incredibly embarrassed by his words. To prepare for filming, Xu Zheyi did some online shopping and ended up purchasing an enema kit and a single blade shaving razor. Naked, standing in the bathroom, and looking into the mirror, Xu Zheyi found he had subconsciously stalled. He could not imagine himself totally hairless down there. He thought, perhaps he should refer to Ruka¡¯s styling. What was it like on Ruka again? He tried hard to remember, but could only recall Ruka¡¯s large, throbbing penis. With just that thought, Xu Zheyi¡¯s own member started growing a little restless, and a small white bead of liquid leaked out as his trembling erection reached half mast. Hey now!? Xu Zheyi could not help but be alarmed, and reflexively turned on the cold water, pouring it on himself. The cold shock instantly calmed the fighting spirit in his little brother. It must be because yesterday I saw the film starring that guy, and my body still has a memory of the whole thing. Xu Zheyi attempted to comfort himself with this haphazard thought, and then proceeded to shave his entire private area clean. The results were that, until filming, Xu Zheyi had to give up his favorite briefs, and change to loose boxers, because, for the first time in his life, he understood just how quickly his hair grew. The next day after Xu Zheyi had shaved, there were already new hairs growing back again. Although barely visible to the naked eye, the area was prickly to the touch. The skin there was quite sensitive, so several times he this strange feeling of discomfort that stimulated a half erection. He did remember to carry out the producer¡¯s rule that he could not play with his pistol, so his life had become very difficult. Every morning he had to shave his privates again, which was more diligently than he shaved his face. But this humiliation was nothing compared to the enema. Because of the internal cleanup, it was the first time that Xu Zheyi had put his finger inside his anus. It was also the first time he really felt that his body was being prepared to be penetrated by a strange man. He thought he would have wanted to give up by this point, but in fact he was more relaxed than he had imagined. It may have been something to do with the most recent payment he had made on the debt that still loomed over him. He had decided that when he finished filming, he would leave the country. He wanted to find a place where no one knew him, and start over again. I was sick today, so I didn¡¯t have a lot of energy. This novel is easy to work on anywhere so I laid on the couch and did another chapter, and it was a really short one! Score a few points for realism, this poor guy. I¡¯m sure you can figure it out, but this means masturbating. Chapter 8 Screen Partner Chapter 8 To maximise their space, the same place that Ah Li and Xiang are using in the morning as their ¡®cohabitation residence¡¯, with the replacement of some furnishings and a quick redecorate, will immediately transform into Xu Zheyi and Ruka¡¯s love nest. After getting his makeup done, Xu Zheyi went out to the unoccupied balcony, and read through the script again. Today¡¯s announced itinerary only included a glimpse of his and Ruka¡¯s so called daily life. In order to avoid a mistake like during the audition, Xu Zheyi wanted to commit every single detail of the script in his hand to his memory. The balcony door was opened roughly at this time. Xu Zheyi looked back out of the corner of his eye, and his muscles reflexively tensed up. It was Ruka. ¡°Hey,¡± Xu Zheyi called out with a stiff smile. Ruka looked at him, nodded indifferently, and then went off to the side to smoke. Xu Zheyi tried to force his attention back onto the script, but his eyes could not be controlled, and drifted towards Ruka. He wanted to be ¡®normal¡¯, but his mind kept flashing back to a naked Ruka, and he began to regret watching the film. ¡°Do you want to smoke?¡± Feeling Xu Zheyi¡¯s wandering eyes, Ruka cocked his eyebrow, misunderstanding that he was also a smoker. Xu Zheyi failed to admit that he was not one, and accepted the offer with a thank you. The two men stood very close, and Ruka bowed near Xu Zheyi in order for him to light up his cigarette. In such close proximity, Ruka¡¯s breath managed to tickle Xu Zheyi, and caused his hair to stand up on end. He was therefore a little relieved, see, I¡¯m freaked out, I¡¯m definitely still straight. ¡°It may be a little late to introduce myself, but I want to anyways,¡± Xu Zheyi said as he adopted the most friendly smile that he could muster, ¡°Hello, I am Zheyi.¡± Ruka, however, was ungrateful and responded coldly, ¡°I know, it¡¯s written in the script.¡± Xu Zheyi unconsciously revealed a few facial convulsions, ¡°Usually at this time you should also introduce yourself.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Because that¡¯s the basic etiquette, right? Xu Zheyi, in silence, resolutely skipped this topic, ¡°I wanted to apologize for the last performance,¡± Xu Zheyi said, ¡°I¡¯m not used to men touching me, so if possible, I hope we don¡¯t have to have physical contact other than the script¡¯s requirements.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± was the only answer he got. Xu Zheyi could not help looking up at Ruka through one eye, he had the feeling that his reply was not that simple, but the latter was still so impassive he could not get a read. So, two people stood in earnest, smoking in silence. Just as Xu Zheyi was about to find an excuse to leave, the executive producer came to ask them to sit down on the sofa. The scene was ready to film and the director had finished the last lighting adjustment. Once they were seated, he signalled for the start of the take with a slap of clap-board. In front of the camera, Xu Zheyi had to keep a smile pasted on, and endured the urge to frown. He felt that the man next to him kept leaning on him, to the point that he had put all his weight on him. He had to move his right elbow naturally between him and Ruka, trying to put a little distance between them. ¡°How long have you known each other?¡± The director asked the first question. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for almost a year, and we met at a friend¡¯s party¡­¡± Xu Zheyi began to recite his lines, but suddenly he could feel something was wrong. A hand slowly traced up his back, all the way, gently following his spine. Goosebumps erupted over his entire body, but he somehow managed to keep up a strong smile. Oh, man! Xu Zheyi could not help but give Ruka a giant middle finger from the bottom of his heart, ¡°Ruka, what¡¯s your ideal in a relationship?¡± The director asked, and the camera was directed at the Ruka. Xu Zheyi grasped at the opportunity and immediately pretended to turn towards Ruka, seemingly to listen to his answer, but he actually just trying to get rid of the hand on his back. However, the movement actually made things more convenient for Ruka. His lips revealed a small smile, and then his large hand pressed into Xu Zheyi¡¯s back, causing him to envelop the whole person into his bosom. Despite his move, the way it looked from the lens was more like Xu Zheyi had nestled in for a hug. ¡°He likes to be spoiled,¡± Ruka explained in a lazy way that left no room for denial. Xu Zheyi felt wronged to death. Sitting there, wrapped up in Ruka¡¯s arms, he really wanted to punch him to show his innocence. Ruka then asked, ¡°As long as I want to spoil him, can I?¡± The director joked back, ¡°There are many men and women who like you and would like to be in this very position.¡± ¡°The feeling is different,¡± Ruka smiled and answered. Xu Zheyi snuck a glimpse at the lens, and guessed that now the screen should be a close-up of Ruka¡¯s upper body. He took the opportunity to reach out, looking as if he would rest his hand on Ruka¡¯s leg, and actually gave a vindictive pinch on the inside of Ruka thigh. ¡°I also like Zheyi¡¯s enthusiasm.¡± Ruka quickly and accurately grasped Xu Zheyi¡¯s vulnerable hand, quickly trapped it between his legs, and then somewhat shyly looked at the camera. The videographer took heed and pulled the camera down to follow the path of his eyes. Oh¡ªthe people behind the scenes immediately understood the so-called enthusiasm behind the implication when Xu Zheyi¡¯s ambiguous pose was revealed. ¡°But sometimes I have to cope with him going overboard,¡± Ruka admitted with an embarrassed expression, revealing a bit of worry, ¡°I hope he will not dislike me for this?¡± The people watching felt like they had seen Ruka¡¯s true feelings; he is so gentle and soft hearted. Then they immediately turned their stares onto Xu Zheyi. With so many people watching, the veins on Xu Zheyi¡¯s forehead sprang up. He tried, fruitlessly, to reclaim his hand that was pressed on someone¡¯s vital organ, his mouth twitching, and after a while he said, with a blank expression, ¡°Of course not.¡± **** ¡°What happened today?¡± Asked Ruka¡¯s makeup artist, while touching up between scenes. ¡°¡­.What do you mean?¡± ¡°You seem to be in a good mood,¡± answered the makeup artist, pointing to the lifted corners of his mouth. Ruka looked into the mirror, immediately forcing his lips back into a frown, ¡°You saw wrong,¡± he replied indifferently. Accustomed to Ruka¡¯s famous temper, and despite thinking that his subconscious smile was cute, the makeup artist was also very smart and opted to finish that conversation right there. Finished with his makeup, Ruka slowly swept out, sweeping his eyes around the room left to right, until he found the corner that housed a figure exuding low pressure. ¡°Ruka, the director asked you to take your next place,¡± the executive producer came over to give him the notice. Ruka stopped in his tracks and looked at the figure in the corner that was still unwilling to come. The corners of his lips could not help but go up again, ¡°Yes,¡± he answered. The next scene mainly captured Ruka and Zheyi¡¯s day-to-day relationship as a couple. Zheyi was to wash his hands and then make soup, and Ruka was to thoughtfully take the initiative to help wash and cut vegetables, and that sort of thing. The two of them were to lovingly feed each other after cooking, as if they could not bear leave each other for a moment. It was a bit scalp tingling. ¡°Ruka, wait a minute. You walk in here and then hold Zheyi¡¯s waist, the camera will be here,¡± the director explained as he gestured to the camera¡¯s position. Ruka nodded to show he understood. Xu Zheyi thought, you¡¯re dead boy, wait a moment and see if I don¡¯t kill you. Allowing himself to have those thoughts led him to feel a little more comfortable in his heart; he was even able to throw a smirk back at Ruka when he looked his direction. This caused Ruka¡¯s eyebrows to shoot up. The neat and small kitchen was steaming as they started to shoot the scene there, and a man in an apron was busy working at the counter. Ruka stood at the door for a while, then slowly walked in and wrapped his arms around the man¡¯s waist. Feeling the man¡¯s whole body instantly go stiff, he could not help feeling good. Pressed against Zheyi, he asked, ¡°Need help?¡± Despite the early psychological preparation, the moment he was hugged Xu Zheyi was so shocked he almost cut his hand. He restrained himself, despite having the urge to push the man away, and tried to make a smile in front of the camera, ¡°Then please cut the tofu.¡± Ruka hummed in agreement, and then dropped a light kiss on Xu Zheyi¡¯s cheek, before he obediently stood in front of the cutting board. Xu Zheyi, in the act of wiping off sweat, forcibly wiped off his cheek that Ruka had just kissed. After that, he fired up the stove. Although the script indicated Xu Zheyi would cook, in order to save time and avoid the possibility that Xu Zheyi could produce a culinary failure, the producer had long been ready with a table of good take-away dishes. Xu Zheyi and Ruka were only responsible for frying a plate of vegetables, and adding chopped tofu into the miso soup, along with any necessary seasonings. After the pan had warmed up, Xu Zheyi poured in the appropriate amount of sunflower oil, but was distracted by Ruka out of one eye. He was completely indifferent to his surroundings, holding a kitchen knife, cutting the white tofu with extremely slow and precise motions. However, no matter how meticulous his actions were, as soon as he sliced through, the tofu immediately dispersed into a heap of residue. Xu Zheyi could not help but smile at the sight, and then began to throw his chopped up cabbage into the pot. ¡°Is that OK?¡± Ruka¡¯s face remained expressionless when he turned to ask Xu Zheyi. Looking at the cutting board full of tofu residue, even the crew and camera assistants could not help laughing. This was the first time that Xu Zheyi had felt any sort of superiority in front of Ruka and he could not help feeling a bit complacent. Even so, his mouth still moved according to the lines, and he gave him encouragement as if he was a puppy with his tail drooping, ¡°Well done, then can you help me put tofu in the soup?¡± Ruka seemed to be waiting for this sentence, because he immediately opened the lid, and all of the residue of the destroyed tofu was swept into the soup. Xu Zheyi quickly glanced at the videographer. While he was busy filming Ruka, he immediately snuck most of the salt into the frying pan, and then gave it a few professional looking stirs. After it was well stirred, he picked up a piece of cabbage that had been covered in salt. ¡°Do you mind giving it a quick taste for me?¡± Xu Zheyi held the food up to Ruka¡¯s chin with a smile, and then without warning he stuffed the cabbage into his mouth. At first Ruka¡¯s expression did not change, but after a few seconds, there was a faint distortion in his features. ¡°Is it too bland?¡± Xu Zheyi asked worriedly, ¡°Maybe I should add a little more salt.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s fine,¡± Ruka said, and instantly seized Xu Zheyi¡¯s hand when he made an attempt to grab the salt again. Then he spoke his next lines very insincerely, ¡°It¡¯s fine as it is, very delicious.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± Xu Zheyi asked, his eyes crinkled into a smile. He picked up a few more slices of vegetables, ¡°Would you like to eat a little more?¡± Ruka silently watched on as Xu Zheyi picked up another chunk and held it up to him; all he could do was gape at his shamelessness. Just when Xu Zheyi thought that he had succeeded again, his chin was forcefully caught and he was left unable to resist, only to see Ruka¡¯s face quickly coming nearer. In the next moment, his lips were pried open, and he felt something get tucked in. After a few seconds, his mouth was immediately filled with a salty, bitter flavour. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Ruka whispered on his lips with malice. Xu Zheyi felt that he really had to suffer too much. Then, after such an embarrassing moment, he heard the director slam the clap-board closed, and then exclaim in a loud voice, a big smile pasted on his face, ¡°Ruka, that kiss was too beautiful.¡± ¡­¡­Beautiful, your mother. Xu Zheyi only knew that he really did not wish to speak any more. This chapter caught me off guard. It was waaaay longer than the last one. And fear not, the goodies are coming soon!! Chapter 9 Screen Partner Chapter 9 The entire filming schedule was quite compact; the same morning Xiang and Ah Li finished shooting was the afternoon Xu Zheyi and Ruka would be filming their own video¡ªeven the day of filming the bed scene was planned that way. The night before that fateful scene, Xu Zheyi suffered from insomnia. He lay in bed, turning over and over, and thought that this was all wrong¡ªhis heart was completely blocked with panic. He ended up spending the whole night watching TV, but in fact he did not actually register anything. He just stared blankly at the screen. The people on the screen came and went. Some of them were familiar faces he had greeted in the past, but most of them were new people that he had never even heard of. Not so long ago, he was making a living appearing on TV like them. In order to stay relevant he would do and say as he was told, regardless of how he felt. And, now, he had betrayed his body. At nine in the morning, Xu Zheyi gave himself an enema. Because he had no appetite, he did not eat anything, and instead only drank half a bottle of water. When noon had finally arrived, he headed out his door and hopped onto his motorcycle to head to the studio. He arrived on time in accordance with the schedule, but when he went to the set he was informed that there had been a slight filming delay. Hearing this he asked, ¡°How long will the delay be?¡± Xu Zheyi could feel that his face was probably not very good-looking at the present moment. He felt like an inmate on death row that had been led up to the guillotine. He had been moved into position and was finally prepared to face his punishment and lose his head, but then the executioner suddenly said, ¡°You, just wait a bit, the blade has not been sharpened.¡± How could he not go crazy? ¡°Do you want to go in and take a look at the situation?¡± Could it be that he looked so scary that the staffer was trying to appease him? ¡°¡­May I?¡± Xu Zheyi was a little curious. ¡°Of course, as long as you don¡¯t get in the way of filming.¡± The executive producer answered. Xu Zheyi hesitated, but soon lost to his curiosity, and followed the producer into the room where they were currently filming. Like most filming scenes, the director sat a little farther away and watched through the monitor. The cameramen and assistants were all positioned around the bed. Through the crowd, Xu Zheyi moved to try to look inside, and then he came into viewing range of the two men on the bed. Xiang was kneeling down, while Ah Li had entered him from behind¡ªtightly grasping his hips. Every time he thrust into him the force of the impact was taken by his rounded buttocks; each movement brought out a resounding groan, the organ connecting them coming into sight with every motion. Wow, this really was¡­ Xu Zheyi immediately felt his face grow hot. In past films he had acted in, although there was bed play, both parties had their private parts covered with toilet paper and tape. This was truly using live ammunition. ¡°Cut!¡± The director¡¯s dissatisfied shout suddenly scattered the obscene atmosphere of the full room. Xiang¡¯s flushed face and moans immediately disappeared. He still maintained his current position, and just looked at the director¡¯s eyes, his expression showing that he felt very wronged. The director was obviously a man who went to extremes. He first released a long string of angry sounding Japanese, sighed, and then in Chinese said, ¡°Ah Li, make sure you go to get your thing hard. I know you are not interested in Xiang, but you can¡¯t be so soft that you are slipping out? And Xiang, can you really call this your career? Put a bit more effort into it, make Ah Li feel like he is your boyfriend.¡± After the director had scolded the two actors, he pressed his temples as if he had a headache, and declared, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a 15-minute break from this scene. When I return I want to see everyone ready to do it again.¡± This was probably the case at times. It seemed that the staff members were used to putting down their equipment and heading out to smoke in groups of twos and threes. Suddenly, the presence of Xu Zheyi was obvious. Xiang put on a bathrobe provided by the production company, let out a cold ¡®humph¡¯, and chose to ignore the presence of Xu Zheyi. Ah Li had immediately raised his head at this time and, and made eye contact with Xu Zheyi. ¡°Hey.¡± Xu Zheyi was embarrassed, but still managed to say hello. ¡°You really did manage to see me at my worst.¡± On the balcony of the master bedroom, Ah Li struggled to give Xu Zheyi a wry smile. Xu Zheyi did not know what to say, and chose to remain silent. ¡°¡­Do you like men?¡± Ah Li asked, and Xu Zheyi immediately frowned, ¡°Of course not.¡± ¡°Then why are you¡­¡± He hesitated to say the end, but Xu Zheyi could understand his doubts from his eyes. ¡°I need money,¡± Xu Zheyi replied, ¡°I¡¯m going to pay off my debts.¡± Ah Li nodded in understanding, and smiled, ¡°I am also here for the same reason. My girlfriend always wants brand-name bags, if I don¡¯t buy them for her, she threatens to break up with me.¡± ¡­¡­How was this the same reason, Xu Zheyi thought, your reasons are worse than mine, you wife slave! But on the surface he still had a bosom brother¡¯s appearance, so he offered some advice, ¡°This kind of woman does not feel very sincere, you still have time for an early break up with her.¡± ¡°Maybe after these three films are finished,¡± his tone was helpless. Xu Zheyi, reading the current atmosphere, patted his shoulder, and said some comforting words, when his hand was suddenly grasped tightly. ¡°Oh, Zheyi, can I ask you something privately? I think we should be good friends,¡± he said, looking at him with sparkling eyes. ¡­I don¡¯t think so, Xu Zheyi answered in his heart, but his face only revealed a slight smile ¡°Of course it¡¯s okay.¡± This is your one warning. Next chapter is very much nsfw. And longer, so I¡¯m not sure when I¡¯ll be getting it done. It¡¯s gonna be GREAT! Chapter 10 Screen Partner Chapter 10 After the filming began again, Xu Zheyi did not go in to observe. He just opted to stay in the lounge playing games on his mobile phone. Who would be willing to be judged by curious observers during such a private event where everything was laid bare? Xu Zheyi could only imagine how, a few hours from now, he was also going to be like that. He would be like a frog in a biology class, his two legs stretched open, lying on the bed, surrounded by onlookers¡ªthe mere thought made him feel uncomfortable. He pushed his hand into his backpack and took out a small yellow box of pills. This box of medicine was given to him and Xiang, and he heard that there was an aphrodisiac effect to it. He hesitated, and then took out two pills and stuffed them into his pocket. A knock sounded at the door of the lounge. Xu Zheyi turned and saw the makeup artist push the door open and come in smiling. ¡°Hey, are you nervous?¡± She heartily greeted him. ¡°A little,¡± Xu Zheyi smiled and then asked, ¡°Are they finished?¡± ¡°Well, it seems that despite all of the time they¡¯ve spent, the Director is not very satisfied at the end, so he¡¯s waiting to see what you and Ruka are like.¡± Xu Zheyi was stunned, and his face was thrown into disarray. Look and see what he and Ruka are like¡­ ¡°You don¡¯t have to be nervous, just leave everything to Ruka. Ruka is very strong.¡± The make-up artist continued to chat while trimming his eyebrows, but Xu Zheyi simply gave up trying to talk to her. ¡°Your skin is very good, what do you usually do for maintenance?¡± Despite Xu Zheyi¡¯s silence, the makeup artist still continued to search for a topic of conversation. ¡°I don¡¯t do any maintenance.¡± Xu Zheyi told the truth. ¡°It must be because you¡¯re so young then, you¡¯re still a college student, right?¡± ¡°¡­I am 30.¡± The makeup artist stopped in the middle of what she was doing, her eyes wide open with surprise. Before she could voice her surprise, they heard someone speak lightly from the entrance, ¡°Oh, you¡¯re already 30.¡± Xu Zheyi and the makeup artist both looked back and saw Ruka, both hands crossed over his chest, his whole frame lazily leaning against the door frame. ¡°It¡¯s not polite to eavesdrop when others are talking,¡± Xu Zheyi could not help uttering. Ruka slowly entered the room, looking at Xu Zheyi while the corner of his mouth slowly curved up in disdain, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xu Zheyi decided that he would never speak to the man again. ¡°Wow, you don¡¯t look that old at all,¡± exclaimed the makeup artist, who was still very surprised. She could not help touching Xu Zheyi¡¯s face a couple times, and then turned to Ruka said, ¡°Why did you come in so early? I¡¯m going to be 10 minutes here.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just wait here.¡± Ruka responded. The corners of Xu Zheyi¡¯s mouth twitched, but he decided to ignore Ruka¡¯s existence and just closed his eyes. The makeup artist quickly applied his makeup, which mostly involved using powder in areas that easily became oily like the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. After that she cheerfully patted him, ¡°Well then, please take off your coat, I want to apply some concealer.¡± Xu Zheyi froze for a moment, and then immediately snuck a concerned look rowards Ruka. The other party was looking back, with no attempt to disguise his intention to watch. Take off, this grandfather1 is not afraid of you! Xu Zheyi quickly slid off his coat as he cheered for himself. The makeup artist immediately leaned over and carefully examined him front and back, and used concealer to cover up a couple acne scars. ¡°Don¡¯t make the powder too thick,¡± Ruka demanded, ¡°I do not want to lick him and end up with my mouth full of it.¡± ¡°Rest assured, Zheyi¡¯s skin is better than a woman¡¯s, there is hardly any need to powder,¡± the makeup artist replied. ¡­I¡¯m still here, okay? Xu Zheyi thought silently. ¡°Please change into this underwear.¡± After finishing up with the concealer on his back, the makeup artist handed him a small piece of clothing. Xu Zheyi spread it out, and found it was pair of a tight white briefs. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to the toilet.¡± He said as he stood up. ¡°Ah, you can just change here, and I will help you trim your pubic hair,¡± the makeup artist instructed without a trace of embarrassment. Xu Zheyi was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Ruka; the other party showing a rare, uncomfortable expression as he casually avoided eye contact. ¡°Wasn¡¯t I supposed to have all of my hair shaved off¡­¡± he asked. His question was just finished, and immediately he realized what happened. This bastard! So I was mistaken. The smut is next chapter. This one is so short I forgot about it. BUT. BUUUTTTT. Don¡¯t worry, I am releasing more. And as a treat I will include the cover art with this chapter. It¡¯s glorious. This is a way of referring to yourself in Chinese; Lao Tzu. I don¡¯t really want to get into it. Um. It¡¯s like, asserting Dominance, or something? Can you tell I¡¯m lazy? If you¡¯re curious look it up, but hopefully you¡¯ve read it elsewhere that did a good job of explaining it. I have but don¡¯t really remember exactly the best way to describe. Shame on me. Chapter 11 Screen Partner Chapter 11 Until they began filming, Xu Zheyi refused to talk to Ruka again. On the one hand, it was because of anger, but on the other hand, it was because of tension. He ran to the toilet several times with an upset stomach. The first time he only brought up water, while the rest were mostly just dry heaving. Even so, it still left a bitter taste in his mouth, so he popped in some gum to remove the flavor. Half an hour before filming, Xu Zheyi thought for a moment, and then took two yellow pills and swallowed them. He did not want to delay the whole process just because he could not get hard in front of the camera, and he reasoned that the sooner the job could be done, the better. ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll shoot from a distance and dim the lights, a little bit like voyeurism. You two will be caressing and flirting in bed, so remember to be affectionate,¡± the director exhorted. ¡°To what extent?¡± Ruka asked. ¡°Do a full service.¡± The director said, ¡°Then I will shoot it from another angle.¡± Xu Zheyi listened to them speak in very official tones of these pornographic things, and could only try to put a stoic expression onto his face. However, with every word they spoke, the two men caused a storm to build up ever larger within him. The director then carefully explained a few movements, and even hand gestures, to Xu Zheyi. Throughout their talk, he could actually feel cracks appearing in his wooden expression, but he was thankfully able to go and speak with the videographer about composition before that happened. All at once, it seemed that everyone in the room was busy, and they left only the two actors on the bed, alone. The men sat, shoulder to shoulder, in silence. Xu Zheyi looked at Ruka for the third time and, pretending to be open-minded, he offered, ¡°Well, if you apologize, I will forgive you.¡± Ruka smirked and said, ¡°Your underwear is showing.¡± Xu Zheyi hurriedly looked down, and sure enough the belt of his bathrobe must have come loose at some point, and almost his entire lower half had been exposed. He immediately put his legs together and covered the exposed area with his bathrobe. But when he gave it a second thought, he reasoned that he was going to have to take it off anyways. No sense being shy about it now. ¡°Ready on set.¡± Not far from them, a loud announcement was made for the staff members. Xu Zheyi peeked over at Ruka just as he was removing his own bathrobe, and his strong, muscular body was completely revealed. He wore black briefs that coordinated with Xu Zheyi¡¯s, and the shape of his slumbering member was vaguely discernible with a quick look. Probably aware of Xu Zheyi¡¯s lingering eyes, Ruka looked over and then generously turned his legs in his direction. The frightened Xu Zheyi panicked and turned away, feeling that his eyes were assaulted by Ruka¡¯s indecent flesh¡ªthis unscrupulous guy! He angrily took off his bathrobe and handed it to the staff next to him, and then he walked over and lay still on the bed like a corpse. Ruka slowly moved over, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the director. The director nodded to him, clapped his hands, and then walked over to the camera while holding the clapboard. He stood in front of the camera, and then began to countdown loudly, ¡°Everyone ready for action in three, two, one ©¤©¤¡± Xu Zheyi felt all over that his muscles were stiffening up; he was exhausting all of his strength to prevent himself from kicking Ruka off of the side of the bed. Compared to his nervousness, Ruka seemed to have entered into his element. He waited until the director had signalled to go, then he looked at the camera, and then he slowly leaned over the board-like body in front of him, and kissed Xu Zheyi sensually on the lips. At first Xu Zheyi clenched teeth, attempting to keep all traces of that man out of the inside, but he did not think that Ruka would be despicable enough to give his nipples a ruthless pinch. He gasped in pain, loosened the teeth, and then felt Ruka¡¯s flexible tongue drill in. He felt, from side to side, a momentary numbness, as Ruka licked the roof of his mouth. But then he thought about it, why should I just lie here drinking your saliva? So, he attacked with his own tongue, trying to push Ruka¡¯s tongue back. When he felt Xu Zheyi¡¯s enthusiasm, Ruka seemed a little surprised, but immediately ceased his resistance and instead sucked on the tip of the invading tongue. His palms kneaded Xu Zheyi¡¯s slightly uplifted chest muscles, rubbing back and forth. Due to the stimulation, his nipples could not help but stand up, and it also triggered his body into a shiver. It seemed that was a sensitive spot for him, Ruka thought complacently. Wow, that¡¯s a sinister trick. Xu Zheyi was alarmed, with only a few touches Ruka could make all of the hair on his body stand on end. His shivers had nothing to do with being chilly. He decided that his was not the only body that would be handled, so he reached his hand up to Ruka¡¯s chest. He found that, from the chest to the abdomen, Ruka¡¯s muscles felt very good. They were smooth and firm, and Xu Zheyi could not help being fascinated; was this the legendary six-pack? He slowly followed the lines of muscle further down until he heard Ruka make a muffled sound, and then he instantly sobered up. He knew that he had almost touched the man¡¯s restricted area, and he could not help but be upset. This was an eye opener for Ruka. He originally thought that Xu Zheyi was a complete novice, and did not expect his movements would be so natural. Was this really his first time filming an AV? While he pondered, his face remained expressionless. His movements were extremely smooth as he took the other man¡¯s hand and pressed it against his lower body. Xu Zheyi was startled by this movement, and he thought this fellow was up to no good again; when the director explained the scene, he did not mention this move at all. Xu Xheyi instinctively wanted to pull away, but the next second, his future descendants also fell into Ruka¡¯s hand. He was mercilessly pinched, and then rubbed in comfort. Fuck! Xu Zheyi almost jumped out of bed from the pain¡ªthat was really too painful. He retaliated by taking hold of Ruka¡¯s semi-erect penis. So anyways, his cock is in my hand, I¡¯ve got to have the fortitude to see this through; if he has done it to me then I¡¯ll do it back to him. But, at that exact moment, Ruka licked his nipple. He felt a strange tingle, and it was like the strength in his hand suddenly disappeared. Ah, that¡¯s those two pills kicking in¡­Xu Zheyi thought tragically. Having the drugs take effect at this exact timing, isn¡¯t that too cruel? I just realized I didn¡¯t proofread the last chapter. I¡¯m not going to do this one either yet. I¡¯ll publish chapter 12 first. So¡­.could be interesting? Chapter 12 Screen Partner Chapter 12 In the spacious master bedroom, everyone crowded around the double bed in a circle. Aside from the hum of the air-conditioner and the suggestive sounds of sucking and licking, there were no other sounds on the scene. The videographer standing on the side of the bed received instructions from the director, and then gradually changed the angle and zoomed in on the scene. On the snow-white sheet, a young man lay on his back. Because he was being kissed on his chin, it was difficult to clearly discern his facial features. He was wearing tight white briefs, and even those were covering only the key parts¡ªthe rest of his body was completely exposed. His skin was fair, and this was especially evident when compared with the darker complexion of the man who was leaning over him. Such a black and white visual contrast evoked a strange sense of lust in anyone who saw it. It was to the point that they found watching unbearable. Not sure of how long he had been kissed, the young man¡¯s lips were finally spared, and he showed his face to the camera. His good-looking eyes were moist and blurred, but this appearance was gone at the flip of a switch when he was touched, which also caused him to tighten his neck line. No, Xu Zheyi wanted to cry without tears, Big Brother, a man¡¯s chest is not a place to suck milk. Ruka evidently could not hear his inner lamenting. He was like a cheetah pouncing on his prey¡ªwith a single hand he suppressed Xu Zheyi¡¯s motions attempting to reject him, and at the same time he leaned over once again to suck on his nipples. Xu Zheyi¡¯s skin was a very pale white, and his areola hardly had any colouring, but as Ruka deliberately and repeatedly sucked and bit, they were darkened to an attractive pink. In this way, the originally unnoticeable nipples were tortured into standing up while becoming a colour you could not miss. When Ruka had first bitten him, Xu Zheyi felt all of the hair on his body stand up. At first the feeling was too strong, and it made him feel uncomfortable. However, when the feeling of discomfort had lasted for some time, his body seemed to gradually adapt; with Ruka not too gently licking and biting him, a certain part of his lower body also began to respond. Bad, this is bad¡­he subconsciously wanted to block his lower body, but Ruka quickly grasped his hands. ¡°Does it feel good?¡± The man pressed on top of his body provocatively whispered in his ear. Xu Zheyi could not help but roll his eyes¡ªif I did not eat those little pills, how could you get me hard like this? This thought was a little sad; he did not want this life. Even Ming Ban did not have the ability to bend him, he did not think that two small pills would cause him to fall. When Ruka received no response, he immediately decided that it was because of shyness. Incredibly, due to that thought, the corners of his mouth actually rose 0.5 centimeters. He attacked more diligently, kissing all the way from Xu Zheyi¡¯s nipples to his navel. He could sense the other man sharply inhale and tighten his belly; he was not sure why, but he suddenly felt he could not hold back. Ignoring Xu Zheyi, he pushed himself down between his legs and began to rub the other¡¯s rather lively member. Xu Zheyi¡¯s penis was fully erect, and the tight underwear fully exposed the straight, straining shape. Ruka used his finger to rub the rounded top of the penis, and after only a few moments, the white cloth began to show evidence of wetness seeping through. Xu Zheyi, of course, felt it too, and was ashamed. He chose to pretend that he had nothing to do with it. Ruka could not help laugh, his finger only attacking that small portion of damp cloth. In fact, the front end of the manhood was the most sensitive and delicate; rubbing through the cloth, it was easy to feel pain because of the roughness. But Xu Zheyi was probably very excited; despite the casual play, the head of his shaft continued leaking, causing the wetness on his briefs to spread. Ruka did not even have to use lubricants and he could still move smoothly. Ruka smeared his fingers on the stained underwear above the bodily fluids. Looking at Xu Zheyi, he put his index finger and thumb together, and then slowly separated them. A silver thread hung between the two fingers. ¡°Has it been a long time?¡± Ruka asked, and this time he smiled a little more openly, revealing his somewhat childish looking tiger fangs. Xu Zheyi, who had just been molested, felt as if his face had been set ablaze, and it was boiling hot; especially when the videographer had adjusted the camera to focus on Ruka¡¯s two fingers. He would have liked to thrust his fist straight into Ruka¡¯s mouth. ¡°Well¡­¡± A cold liquid suddenly poured on his fiery genitals, and Xu Zheyi reflexively shrunk back, slightly sitting up. What he found was that Ruka had unscrupulously squeezed a huge amount of lubricant onto his lower body. ¡®Rub the guns1¡¯. All at once his mind flashed through the scene, which the Director had carefully explained this in his strange accent, and he had a feeling of brain damage. The experienced Ruka clearly knew what the camera wanted. He had almost squeezed out half the bottle of lubricant, slightly spreading some of it with his hands, and then his entire body was pressed onto the body of Xu Zheyi. He started from between his legs, slowly pushing the liquid up with his naked body, until the two men were positioned chest-to-chest. Xu Zheyi forcibly closed his eyes. He did not actually have to see it. Just imagining it, he could guess how erotic the scene was right now. In fact, this was precisely true. On the screen, two handsome men were almost naked, a large amount of water-based lubricant on both sides soaking their minimal amount of clothing. That bit of fabric could no longer play the role of shielding, especially the almost transparent white. Not only the shape of the shaft¡ªeven the colour was clear. Ruka hugged Xu Zheyi with his left arm so that he would not block the camera, and slowly began swinging his waist. His movements were so slow they were almost tortuous. Xu Zheyi could clearly feel Ruka¡¯s strong penis rubbing against him, imitating the rhythm of making love. He was squeezing hard against his manhood, from the bottom of the column to the top, even stimulating to the small opening at the tip; each push was causing him to expand and get even harder. Xu Zheyi found it hard to describe what it felt like. He knew full well that Ruka was a man, whether it was the flat and sturdy pectoral muscles or currently erect member he possessed. But, when their swollen dicks rubbed against each other, he felt an electrifying tingling that made his hang-ups fade away, so he could not help but move his own hips as well. He could not control his expression¡ªthis should not feel this good. The videographer seemed to notice his slip and slowly moved the camera¡¯s position. When he felt the camera move closer, Xu Zheyi tried to avoid showing his face; he wanted to hide his true emotions. Ruka sensed something was wrong and glanced at the camera, immediately figuring it out. He found Xu Zheyi¡¯s lips, and kissed him passionately, cleverly blocking his face with the angle of his head. Despite helping, this action was definitely fuel for the fire. Xu Zheyi¡¯s mouth was already somewhat sensitive, so when Ruka suddenly pushed his tongue in, as his lower body was pushed down on, he could immediately feel that he had reached the peak. He tensed and grabbed the back of Ruka¡¯s neck, and spoke roughly into his lips, ¡°I, I¡¯m going to¡­¡± Xu Zheyi¡¯s words had not even finished when his waist violently shook a few times. Ruka probably did not think that Xu Zheyi would come so quickly. He could not do anything, and only had time to hold the man in his arms. Ruka waited until the man in his bosom had finally calmed down. Then, under the instructions of the director, he slipped his hand into the underwear Xu Zheyi had just ejaculated into. Still in the afterglow of his climax, Xu Zheyi looked a little lost, and a pair of eyes innocently stared up at Ruka. Ruka felt somewhat strange, as if a kitten had grabbed onto him with its harmless claws. He had a bit of a soft feeling in his heart; just a moment ago he really thought that this guy was also a bit cute. He carefully moved his hand around, feeling that Xu Zheyi was a little shaken up, and then immediately took out his errant hand. He hesitated for a few seconds before he held his hand in front of the camera to show Xu Zheyi¡¯s semen¡ªproving he did climax. All right. My heart is not faint. It is still hard to be reconciled with the whole thing. Obviously it should be something private, but he was forced to share with others. Certainly makes a person feel wronged. I hope you enjoyed the first part of this great scene. Yes!! First part!! There is more. But it¡¯s long, and I needed to get some out. Let me know what you think. It literally said: rub gun. Like. Really. Why should I interrupt a perfectly good steamy scene with this footnote. Gah. So, I¡¯m assuming the meaning is to rub their dicks together. Ya know. Chapter 13 Screen Partner Chapter 13 Compared with his previous filming experience, Xu Zheyi found that the biggest difference between the low-budget flicks and shooting GVs was the focus of the lens. In the previous C-grade film, the focus of the bed play was often on the woman. His role was that of a masked rapist, and in the whole film from beginning to end, he only appeared once. After that parts of him were seen; his partial reflection in a mirror, his hand tearing the lady¡¯s clothes, or his back when he was on top of another woman. He also remembered how the heroine¡¯s mood could not be in properly captured. He was scolded several times by the director, and even the actress¡¯s tears sprinkled the film set. At that time he only felt impatient. He recalled thinking, elder sister can¡¯t you be a little more dedicated, get it right so that we can complete filming and leave soon. It was not until now that he realized how shameful and difficult it was to bare his erotic and exposed self to the camera. ¡°Zheyi, your job now is to help Ruka by performing oral sex. The camera will start filming from behind you with the focus on Ruka. Then it will slowly push forward in order to capture your expression. Ruka, you just finish the whole set.¡± When he was finished speaking, the director could not help but cast some sympathetic glances at Xu Zheyi; there was no missing Ruka¡¯s large, erect member. Ignoring the director¡¯s teasing, Ruka grabbed a few sips of water. Xu Zheyi also took a look at the other man¡¯s lower body, and the large shaft that was barely held back by his tight underwear. He could not help but feel a bit pathetic in comparison, but still, he felt that some things still needed to be explained. ¡°Ruka,¡± he called, while the director had a quick chat with the videographer. Xu Zheyi¡¯s face was serious and unmoving, and he blurted out very quickly, ¡°I am not always so fast.¡± Ruka did not react at first, and then he quickly noticed Xu Zheyi¡¯s red ears and could understand what was bothering him. He slightly lifted one side of his mouth, deliberately glanced at Xu Zheyi¡¯s calmed down lower body, and teased him, ¡°You still have a lot of time to prove it to me.¡± Xu Zheyi thought that he must really be despised. He recalled having slept with his girlfriend before, and although it was not for an extremely long time, he could at least last for half an hour. For him to have finished so quickly, it must be the influence of those two pills. After such a thought, he immediately had a sense of relief; it was not his fault, he was innocent. The producer signalled everyone and began to countdown. Ruka was lazily sitting on the bedside. He slowly opened his slender legs facing towards Xu Zheyi, and mouthed the word ¡°come¡± while making that provocative posture. Even the so-called ¡®ten thousand years straight¡¯ man Xu Zheyi could not stop his heart rate from accelerating. Hey, take a look; that¡¯s a guy just like you! He shouted loudly at himself in his heart, took a deep breath, and slowly leaned over Ruka¡¯s legs. Casting a glance down at the state of his briefs, anyone could see that Ruka must have been suppressing his desire for a long time. His large genitals pushed up against the entire piece of cloth, and the top even showed evidence of some bodily fluids leaking out. Xu Zheyi gently tugged on Ruka¡¯s underwear, and this allowed his dick to impatiently leap out. Oh god. Xu Zheyi could not help but be dumbfounded; he had initially just wanted to touch him through the underwear. Unfortunately, the current situation would not allow him to put that thing back inside. He could only bite the bullet and keep moving forward¡ªhe reached down with both hands and used a circular grip to grasp Ruka¡¯s manhood, following up with some uncoordinated movements. His actions were likely uncomfortable for Ruka, because he saw him slightly frown, and then took the initiative to hold Xu Zheyi¡¯s hands and guided them into a slow, up-and-down motion. He then leaned his body forward and licked Xu Zheyi¡¯s lips. Xu Zheyi instantly felt like he would fall down. Under the surveillance of the camera, he had to open his lips and let Ruka in. In fact, if you ignored the gender factor, Ruka¡¯s kissing skills were the best he had ever experienced, but Xu Zheyi was unable to concentrate on that. This was because, in his grasp, Ruka¡¯s cock seemed to be demanding acknowledgement of its existence; it kept swelling larger and larger, pulsing forcefully against his hands. Just as Xu Zheyi felt his hands slipping as he tried to maintain a good grip, Ruka pulled away from his lips, placed his hands on the mans shoulders, and pressed him down. Following along with Ruka¡¯s hint, Xu Zheyi stiffly squatted down between his legs, and, in what felt like slow motion, he found himself face-to-face with Ruka¡¯s penis. Perhaps because Ruka originally had a darker complexion, the colour of his manhood was also deeper. Due to his current state of extreme excitement, the glans was swollen and red, and a transparent liquid was slowly leaking from the tip. Xu Zheyi tried to touch it with his lips, and then his courage seemed to run out; he dared not open his mouth. Ruka¡¯s taste was not heavy, there was even a slightly refreshing soapy fragrance, but the lustful male odour deterred him from moving any further forward. He tried to cheat by rubbing his closed lips on the rounded head, but he was immediately hit by the sickening feeling of nausea. ¡°CUT!¡± The director stopped filming. There was no need to specially explain why they were stopping, Xu Zheyi also knew; certainly his own expression did not pass muster. ¡°Sorry,¡± he said, as he rubbed his head in chagrin, ¡°I can¡¯t do oral sex.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you try again?¡± The director inquired. Xu Zheyi flattened his lips into a line, not answering the question. Seeing his expression, the director sighed, ¡°This time we¡¯ll let you off, if we have any more delays then everyone will have to work through their days off.¡± He turned Ruka after and instructed, ¡°Just wait a minute. You¡¯re fully erect, so for now the handjob will have to be enough.¡± Ruka did not speak, but nodded to show his understanding. Xu Zheyi felt apologetic when he looked at him; he felt like his acting attempt just now had led to a lot of disappointment¡ªeven the energised lower body in front of him seemed to have wilted a bit all of a sudden. ¡°Hey,¡± he said, and looked at the back of the person in front of him who was emitting a constant low pressure. Xu Zheyi thought for a moment, and then came to join him. Somewhat embarrassed, he apologized, ¡°Sorry, this is my first time with a man¡­¡± he choked for a second, ¡°¡­having sex.¡± How were those two words so hard to say? With his back still turned, Ruka slightly turned his ear towards Xu Zheyi as he spoke. After a he had said his piece, Ruka turned his face towards him, ¡°¡­Continue.¡± Continue what? Despite being puzzled, Xu Zheyi gave him a solid pat on the shoulders like they were good bros, ¡°Anyway, sorry. Your little guy should not be too hard to get back up?¡± The moment he spoke those words, Xu Zheyi began to experience a full body cold sweat. On the other hand, Ruka¡¯s mood seemed to be good again. He gave Xu Zheyi a quick once-over and then replied, ¡°Wait a moment and you¡¯ll find out.¡± I¡¯m working steadily on the next PUP, but my lunch break today was quick productive. Hope you liked the treat, and look forward to the next part (it¡¯s already in progress). Seriously! Chapter 14 Screen Partner Chapter 14 This was not Ruka¡¯s first time sleeping with someone. Thinking over his experiences from past to present, whether it was a coworker or a partner outside work, who among them would not have praised him? So, when Xu Zheyi displayed an expression that looked like he would vomit, Ruka was naturally angry¡ªhis pride as a man was wounded. However, that anger evaporated immediately when he heard Xu Zheyi apologize, saying that it was his first time with a man. Ruka had heard that a lot from the women who would come on to him. Therefore, he knew very well what the subtext of that admission was. I like you very much, so please treat me well. He had to use his best efforts to restrain corners of his mouth from rising, and maintained a face like buddha. It was really a bold move to say such things on the set. He stared blankly ahead; men in their thirties were certainly different. He was a bit embarrassed, but he wanted to hear a little more. He slowly turned his head. ¡°¡­Continue,¡± he said. However, the man who had just bravely confessed suddenly grew shy and laughed twice. ¡°Anyway, sorry, your little guy should not be too hard to get back up?¡± As soon as Xu Zheyi finished speaking, he seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately stared at him like a puppy with wet eyes. Ruka¡¯s heart suddenly felt incredibly warm and fluffy. He thought, what should I tell him? It was the first time with a man for the both of them. He tried to answer, but when the words came to his lips, he somehow misspoke, ¡°Wait a moment and you¡¯ll find out.¡± ¡­That came out totally wrong. He was a little upset, but at the same time, he was not fortunate enough to have the time to think about it. Luckily, I did my homework in advance. Because he had never slept with a man before, the day before he had specially searched for information on the Internet regarding a man¡¯s erogenous zones, and theoretically understood the position of the G-spot. He looked at Xu Zheyi warmly and his lips curved up slightly, but Xu Zheyi, who was staring at him, only felt his own body chill. He could not tell what this guy was up to. The director indicated that they were to omit caressing and other foreplay, and enter directly into the stage of ¡®expansion and insertion¡¯. The two actors followed his instructions to strip naked in front of the camera. Xu Zheyi¡¯s sat on Ruka¡¯s lap uncomfortably, his hands stiffly wrapped around the other¡¯s neck. Although his body could not necessarily be considered that of a strong man, he was not petite and thin. Asking him to behave in such an effeminate way made him feel like he was giving up half of his life. Feeling his nervousness, Ruka touched his lean waist in a soothing manner and kissed his chin. The other hand outside the film frame was quite busy; he grabbed the lubricant bottle again and squeezed it. Xu Zheyi suddenly shivered. He could feel a large lump of cold liquid land just above his ass. He did not have time to react, when suddenly the place where the lubricant was just poured was rubbed erotically. He felt that he must have shown a NG expression again, and he quickly blocked it by pushing his face into Ruka¡¯s neck. Ruka was completely overwhelmed by the man who was acting spoiled. He was still expressionless, but his facial lines softened. He had always looked handsome, but he gave off a cold feeling that made him difficult to approach. Now that this sense of distance had suddenly diminished, the people surrounding them felt they could not open their eyes due to his brilliance. The producer who watched the monitor quickly motioned to the videographer to focus the camera on him. Ruka, who was often loved and provoked by the camera only, did not look at the camera this time. He bent down and kissed Xu Zheyi¡¯s shoulder blades, leaving behind a small red mark. At the same time he took his finger, slippery with lubricant, and gently pushed it in between the buttocks until he found the entrance¡ªit was shrinking because of fear. He continued tracing along until he reached his two balls. Xu Zheyi¡¯s eyes shook and he looked up at Ruka, who looked down at the same time. Because of their positions, the lower bodies of the two people were very close, brought even closer by the presence of Ruka¡¯s half-erect penis. Unlike Ruka, Xu Zheyi¡¯s own genitals were dangling flaccidly. The dejected pink organ looked abnormal because there was no body hair; some may even find it lovely. Ruka was a bit surprised at the color there. His fingers couldn¡¯t help but trace along the top, and he was filled with the desire to tease Xu Zheyi. ¡°Are you a virgin?¡± ¡°¡­Your mother is.¡± Xu Zheyi reflexively fired those words back, but he immediately realized that this sentence was both illogical and technically problematic. Ruka didn¡¯t pay any mind to Xu Zheyi¡¯s words. He laid him down slowly on the bed and stared at his lower half for a while. He finally made a move about one second before Xu Zheyi was about to throw a punch, taking his shaft into his mouth. ¡°Hey¡­¡± Xu Zheyi shrank his body back in a sensitive way before he reacted and was shocked. He immediately wanted to sit up. However, Ruka was firmly perched on his legs, leaning over him, acting like he was licking a lollipop, his mouth covering the slowly expanding volume of the dick it contained. Ruka¡¯s mouth skills were not very good and his teeth often touched the shaft. He kept his eyes on Xu Zheyi while he was ministering to him, watching his reactions. Thanks to the stimulation from Ruka¡¯s mouth, a tight feeling started in his stomach. It was clear that he had just finished firing shortly before, and yet his lower body was suddenly swelling once again. Feeling that Xu Zheyi was excited again, Ruka stared at him and tightened his lips. He moved his mouth from the bottom of the genitalia all the way to the top, causing the man to groan loudly. Xu Zheyi was embarrassed into a blush, and the while he was distracted his lower body was lifted. He instinctively tried to close his legs, but they were immediately caught and opened by Ruka. Xu Zheyi¡¯s hair removal work was very thorough; there was not even any hair around the anus. Ruka looked at his private hole and couldn¡¯t understand why even the lustful pink colour was there. It was just like he had deliberately dyed it that way. He couldn¡¯t help but graze the small opening with his fingers and then leaned over to continue his work. Xu Zheyi tensed¡ªthis was too much! Xu Zheyi was ashamed to have kiss marks all over his body, but his penis violated its owner¡¯s wishes and stood upright. Ruka lifted the man¡¯s lower body higher, licking his groin, and even leaving a vivid red mark on the snow-white skin. Xu Zheyi could not restrain the slight trembling of his body, and he felt that all of his blood was concentrated in his lower body. This was the first time he had discovered that he had such strong sexual desire. He could not attend the camera and reached out to touch his hard penis that had begun to leak out body fluids. When he had begun stroking himself, something cold and wet pushed against his anus. His movements halted instantly, and felt a faint flow of liquid into his body. He panicked. He lifted his upper body halfway and looked down. He found Ruka had pressed the lubricant against his hole and was squeezing it inwards. Then he touched his finger to the entrance and slowly plunged it in. Xu Zheyi stopped all actions at once. To be honest, because there was only half a finger inside, there was no feeling of pain, but there was a strong sense of discomfort. His body also seemed to resist such a violation of nature, and contracted in an attempt to expel Ruka¡¯s finger, but the other side¡¯s attitude was quite tough. He continued to advance until he was most of the way in. Xu Zheyi¡¯s cock had softened instantly, and his head drooped very pathetically. Ruka caressed his scrotum, which had slackened along with his manhood, and then he gradually revived it with his careful attention. He peeked at Xu Zheyi¡¯s reaction and slowly bent his finger that was inside towards the front of his body. His other hand remained in the area between the scrotum and the hole and kneaded it in a circular manner. ¡°Uhn¡­¡­¡± Xu Zheyi¡¯s body shuddered like he had received and electric shock. Ruka took this opportunity to push in a second finger. At this time, Xu Zheyi¡¯s unwillingness to open up his body was not as obvious as the last time. Since he was pushing on the perineum, although the penis was not fully erect, a clear liquid once again began to leak from the head. Ruka could not help but change his position. His cock was excited, even though he did not even touch it. He inserted a third finger, held his fingers together closely and pumped them slowly, while his other hand continued with the external massage. A man¡¯s G-spot; this was something Ruka only saw on the Internet. Although he had heard a little about it before, he had no interest in researching it. He did not expect to actually try to find it while he was on the job. He tried applying pressure to search; from shallow to deep, up, down, left, and right. Finally, after putting pressure on a certain point, he felt Xu Zheyi shake violently¡­was it really that bad? He still had some suspicions. He quickly rubbed his fingertips along that point. He only heard Xu Zheyi groan and saw him abruptly tighten his abdomen. He did not touch his penis with his hand, and watched as thick white fluids coursed from the tip. After seeing that at such a close distance, Ruka could not stop from swallowing his mouthful of saliva. He thought that he had lived up to the expectations of providing Xu Zheyi¡¯s first experience. Now, it was time for Xu Zheyi to repay him. He quickly turned around, grabbed a condom and tore open the package. He rubbed his eager dick a few times, and then finally put the condom on. He pressed the head of his shaft against the entrance, lowered his body and slowly pushed himself in. ¡°Wait wait wait¡­¡± Xu Zheyi felt pain along with the penetration, and could not resist trying to stop him. However, the man who had finally gone into full attack mode had no reason to stop. According to his memory, Ruka attacked the point in Xu Zheyi¡¯s body that seemed to give him pleasure, and Xu Zheyi gradually yielded under such a strong offensive. The white semen flowed until it covered his abdomen. My God. Xu Zheyi, who had another erection as a result of the hard, steady thrusts of the man inside him, could not help but panic. I don¡¯t want to become gay! After three chapters of foreplay I initially thought they¡¯d say more about the final step, so to speak. But, I hope your fujoshi hearts are healed, and your desires sated. Never fear, there is definitely more to come! NG ¨C I can¡¯t remember if I have explained this, but in filming lingo it stands for no good, so the take would not be usable. Chapter 15 Screen Partner Chapter 15 Xu Zheyi stood under the shower, letting the hot water stream over him, his mood very complex. Although his manhood was finally hanging down relaxed, it had been impolite enough to shoot four times. Even when he was at his most interested in sex, he had never had such indulgence. He pinched his shameless thing, but all he felt was a burst of discomfort in his lower body. No, he felt deeply that some parts of his body had just been transformed. When he recalled how the director looked at them with eyes filled with praise when he finally yelled ¡®cut¡¯, he could not help but be overcome with sorrow. If he had climaxed because of the insertion, then did that mean that from now on he would ejaculate from playing with his ass? Was there anything in the world more upsetting to a straight man than this? He began to carefully clean his lower body. When his fingers touched his back entrance, he reflexively shivered. That place seemed swollen, and even the slight rubbing from his fingertips left a feeling of discomfort. He took a deep breath, and very carefully inserted one finger up to the knuckle, rotated it around, and then pulled it back out. There was some blood present, but before he could get an idea of how much, it was washed away by the water. He chose to pay it no mind; after all, it was just a little bit of broken skin. With Ruka¡¯s size and tenacity, it was inevitable that he would incur some damage. He just wanted to go home. He quickly cleaned the rest of his body, wiped himself dry, changed back into his clothes and walked out of the bathroom. The staff outside had almost all left¨Conly the producer remained, checking the doors and windows. When he saw Xu Zheyi come out, he smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard today.¡± ¡°You too, do you need any help?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m going to leave after all of the windows are closed, and I¡¯ll see you in a few days,¡± came the producer¡¯s hearty reply. Compared to his carefree attitude, Xu Zheyi was preoccupied. Oh my god¡­ He walked down the stairs heavily, ruminating on the fact that there was another bed scene coming, and his heart was infinitely filled with melancholy. He still felt like his legs were being held open, and that he could barely stand. He did not know how long it would take before that feeling would finally go away. Opening the door, he went forward a few paces and then suddenly looked back. Under the dim light of the street lamp, Ruka stood idly by the door and smoked; his eyes were looking directly back at him. ¡­If I had known, I would not have looked back. Xu Zheyi feel a little embarrassed. Not long ago, he and this man had been intimately tangled in bed. However, after they got out of bed and put on clothes, the two of them returned to being strangers. Two strangers who had sex with one another. If it was possible, he did not want to see Ruka outside of work. Ruka, on the other hand, clearly did not understand his inner turmoil. He glanced at him, threw his cigarette onto the ground, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡­..? Xu Zheyi could not help being confused, and a row of question marks practically came out of his head. He even glanced back and made sure that no one else was there, and that Ruka was actually talking to him. ¡°Where to?¡± No, he should have asked if they had plans together. ¡°I will take you home.¡± Ruka explained, matter-of-factly. A moment later he followed with, ¡°Or do you want to come to my house?¡± ¡­¡­What was this weird boyfriend-girlfriend vibe that he was getting? Xu Zheyi hurriedly declined, ¡°No, I can go back myself, you should also hurry home.¡± Ruka was startled, and did not say anything in return. Xu Zheyi took the opportunity to hurriedly escape. ¡­..Was he shy? A small grin appeared on Ruka¡¯s face at the thought of Xu Zheyi¡¯s perceived innocence. Xu Zheyi climbed onto his bike, and looked into his mirror to make sure that Ruka did not catch up. Relieved that his view was empty, he slowly pulled out onto the road. In fact, it was not a big deal. Maybe Ruka was always so friendly towards his colleagues¨Cwait, what was going on with that car back there? Xu Zheyi thought it was his imagination, so he kept glancing in his side mirror, and even slowed down. His plan was to let the suspicious car pass by, but he did not think that the car behind him would also slow down. What the hell? Xu Zheyi frowned, pulled his bike to the side of the road, and stopped. He climbed off and walked back to the car that had been following him. Before he could knock on the window, the window was opened to reveal Ruka¡¯s cold face. When he saw that it really was him, Xu Zheyi could not help but ask helplessly, ¡°Big Brother, what do you want to do?¡± The other side answered as if was only natural, ¡°Send you home.¡± Xu Zheyi was speechless, and the two people remained in a face-to-face standoff for a while, until a car horn sounded impatiently from behind. He chose to jump back onto his bike¡­take me home? You would make me look like a girl. Xu Zheyi was not pleased with this thought. He continued to increase his speed, hoping that the cold wind whipping by could somehow cool the heat that was rising in his ears. No sooner had Xu Zheyi parked in front of his house, he turned to see Ruka walking up casually carrying a bag. Before he could ask about his reasons for being there, Ruka pushed the bag into his hands and explained, ¡°You seem to have a bit of bleeding there, there¡¯s some ointment in there.¡± His face remained impassive as he talked, ¡°At night you may have a fever. If the temperature goes above 38 degrees, there are pills for that in here as well.¡± ¡±¡­.How do you know I have a fever?¡± Xu Zheyi was a bit embarrassed, as well as being shocked by his professional behaviour. It was impossible for Ruka to tell him it was because he had done his homework on the internet, so he had to feign an inscrutable expression, and then demanded, ¡°Give me your phone number.¡± ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Xu Zheyi did not hear clearly. ¡°Phone number,¡± this time Ruka only said two words. Xu Zheyi was caught off guard, and then even he did not know what was going through his mind, but he inexplicably handed over his cell phone. Ruka put his own number into Xu Zheyi¡¯s phone, and then called himself. When he saw the unknown number appear on his phone screen, his mood visibly improved, and he returned Xu Zheyi¡¯s phone. ¡°If you don¡¯t feel well, call me anytime.¡± Ruka advised him. Xu Zheyi stiffly nodded, and then heard him say, ¡°Go up.¡± When Xu Zheyi looked down from the window of his room, he could see Ruka by the side of his car looking back at him. Xu Zheyi did not know what to do, so he turned away. He emptied the bag out onto the low table in the room. There was ointment, a thermometer, and fever medicine. The table was table was laid out like some sort of after-service care package. Xu Zheyi stood staring at the various gifts for a while, thought about it, and stuffed them back into the bag, tied it with a knot and then threw it into the trash can beside him. This brave, brave boy! Gets onto his bike right after all that!!! It was his first time tooooo. Also, now that I look at it again, he may have a scooter rather than a motorbike. But. Not changing it. Sorry. Chapter 16 Screen Partner Chapter 16 Xu Zheyi had lived for nearly 30 years. He never thought the day would come that he would become a homosexual. It was for this reason that he was terrified of the present situation. That night, Xu Zheyi had opened the ipad despite his better judgment, and typed in ¡®straight men, anus, orgasm¡¯. Even just typing those three words was enough to make him blush with shame. Fortunately, the results were quite normal, and there were many different men seek anal stimulation, deliberately massaging their prostates. Once he knew that everything tonight could be categorized into a man¡¯s normal physiological response, he quickly calmed down. Afterwards, he could not help himself; his fingers travelled over the keyboard and typed out another search. Ruka, gay. The results of this search were very messy, but most of them showed that Ruka seemed to be the third most sought after adult film actor, and the youngest in their current film. Twenty-two years old¡­ Xu Zheyi was shocked at first, followed by a sneer. He was still just a brat, even though his body was all grown up¡­. He instantly felt a bit hot around his ears because of that train of thoughts, so he hurriedly dismissed the idea from his mind. He flipped over on the bed, still holding onto the iPad. Obviously he was completely exhausted, but he was unable to control himself. One by one he opened the websites with Ruka in them, and perused them until dawn. There was actually very little information available about Ruka. Almost all of the pictures that were available were screenshots taken from his films. Xu Zheyi was able to find sporadic pieces of information, like the fact that he was 20 when he debuted into the industry, he had shot four big adult films, and there was no data to suggest that he had any homosexual tendencies. The website that he gazed at the longest contained a single photograph. The photograph was clearly not a screenshot, and it was probably the only photo that reflected a Ruka outside of his work. In the photo he looked very childish, likely 17-18 years old. He was giving the camera the middle finger, and his hearty laugh had even exposed his tiger teeth. Xu Zheyi was shocked to find himself thinking of Ruka as incredibly cute, and then immediately felt a little uneasy. That smile was so nice and cheerful, why did he go around with such an impassive face these days? Xu Zheyi was a bit sour over it all. However, he just kept looking and looking at the picture¡ªeven the album¡¯s owner¡¯s name was ingrained into his memory. That night as he slept, Xu Zheyi followed along just as Ruka had said and developed a low-grade fever. However, his physical fitness was too good, and, aside from sweating and feeling some sticky discomfort, he felt quite fine from head to toe. Although he did not end up using the things Ruka sent, when it was time to take out the trash, he struggled to save the plastic bag, and then stuffed it into a drawer for later use. From the day of filming, the man who behaved so lovingly towards Xu Zheyi that night did not even call him once. **** On the next filming the day, Xu Zheyi arrived 10 minutes early at the agreed upon location. This time, because there were four people taking part in the shoot together, two camera teams were dispatched. To accommodate the extra bodies, the filmmakers sent out two vans; one for the actors, and one for the staff. Xu Zheyi climbed into the van as soon as he arrived. Shortly after, Ah Li came in behind him. Although it had only been a few days since he had last seen him, his whole countenance had changed as if a demon had possessed him. He was haggard, with dark bags under his eyes. Xu Zheyi was startled, and inquired, ¡°Are you unwell?¡± Ah Li showed a wry smile and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s just that last night I did not sleep well.¡± Seeing such a dismal face Xu Zheyi thought, perhaps it was not only last night that he did not sleep well? Although he knew not to ask more, he still spoke, ¡°If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you may consult with me.¡± Ah Li was too embarrassed to look at him, and just when Xu Zheyi thought he would politely refuse, he slightly stammered as he confided, ¡°I-I am a little worried that today I will not be able to get hard¡­¡± So it turned out to be this kind of thing. Xu Zheyi was a little hesitant, but finally he reached into his bag and took out the box of yellow pills. He poured out two and gave them to Ah Li, and explained, ¡°You should take both of these about half an hour before filming. I can guarantee that they are very effective.¡± He recommended it based on his own experience. Ah Li showed a reluctant expression, and then asked in a low voice, ¡°Are you sure that this medicine is safe?¡± This problem stumped Xu Zheyi for a moment. He thought about his reaction after the medication; he did feel a bit agitated, but after a few days there was no feeling of addiction¡ªnot to mention that he was sure Xiang would not give him something harmful for no reason. ¡°I think it¡¯s okay,¡± he answered softly. As the two men whispered together, the door was aggressively yanked open. They both jerked their gazes towards the opening, and were greeted by Xiang¡¯s sullen expression. ¡°The first people to arrive should sit in the back seat, don¡¯t you even know basic manners?¡± Xiang was incredibly sarcastic. Xu Zheyi had gradually grown accustomed to this young master who was always speaking so aggressively; he was not too concerned about it and said, ¡°I had only heard first come, first served.¡± He did not realize it, but it was likely that his indifferent attitude caused Xiang to be even more infuriated. His expression narrowed, and he was about to say something, but he was interrupted by a question that came from behind him, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going in?¡± When he heard that voice, Xu Zheyi¡¯s whole body went stiff, and then he hurriedly feigned a comfortable appearance. Ruka¡¯s appearance was able to successfully shut up Xiang. Xu Zheyi and Ah Li got out of the seats they were in and obediently climbed into the back seat. Xiang had his eyes glued on Ruka¡¯s back the entire time. Though his staring was very conspicuous, Ruka seemed to have no awareness of it. He took off his sunglasses with no expression on his face, and while they waited for him to get into vehicle, he informed Ah Li, ¡°The director seems to be looking for you.¡± Ah Li was surprised, ¡°The director wants me?¡± This time Ruka was too lazy to talk, so he just perfunctorily nodded. Ah Li was obviously quite afraid of the director, and hurriedly said thank you as he ran to the car that the director was sitting in. Ruka climbed into the van, and instead of any of the open seats; he mercilessly tossed Ah Li¡¯s things haphazardly onto the floor and settled into his spot. ¡°Is the director really looking for him?¡± Xu Zheyi asked doubtfully. ¡°I said ¡®seems¡¯,¡± Ruka said without guilt¡­that bastard. Xu Zheyi had to restrain the urge to punch him. Shortly after, Ah Li returned to the van. Even though he knew that he had been played, he just smiled and automatically sat in the front passenger seat. Xu Zheyi had always had a good opinion of such moderately behaved individuals, so he found himself talking easily with him as they travelled. For the entire car ride, the only sound was their conversation. Ruka observed coldly for 30 seconds, then smirked, put his sunglasses back on, and closed his eyes to rest. Of course, he knew what Xu Zheyi was playing at. He was trying to attract his attention by displaying intimate behaviour towards another man. Ruka had experienced this ploy from others before, but in this situation he could not deny that it was a bit lethal. From behind his sunglasses, he half opened his eyes to steal a side glance at Xu Zheyi. As he watched him and the other side converse happily, he felt quite disconcerted. He certainly would not admit that he had waited for Xu Zheyi to call him for two full days. He carried his cell phone everywhere. If he took a bath it was beside him, while he slept it was not away from his body¡ªhe was afraid he would miss the moment when it came. It was not like he had not thought of taking the initiative to call him first. The previous night, Friend A asked, ¡°Did you fall in love?¡± Ruka froze, and after a while he finally remembered that he was drinking beer. ¡°Why do you ask?¡± He looked at his friend with a watchful eye. ¡°Because you are looking at your cell phone every three seconds, and it seems that you feel very hopeful that it will ring immediately. Usually, the people who behave in this manner are not waiting for some important business information. They are actually waiting for contact from the person they like¡­¡± ¡°He likes me,¡± Ruka corrected immediately. Friend A shrugged his shoulders, ¡°Well, you¡¯re the boss.¡± His apathetic attitude caused Ruka extreme dissatisfaction, so Ruka immediately threw out his strongest evidence, ¡°He gave me his first time.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± said Friend A. He nodded and then asked, ¡°Do you like her?¡± ¡°He likes me,¡± Ruka corrected impatiently, adding, ¡°And he was so shy when I said that I was going to send him home.¡± ¡°You like her,¡± although he did not understand what Ruka meant with that last sentence he added, Friend A was still very sure of his final conclusion. Ruka was furious, ¡°I said, he likes me¡­¡± ¡°If she really likes you, why hasn¡¯t she called until now?¡± His friend¡¯s words stabbed him like a knife, ¡°Even if she liked you enough to give you her first time, if she won¡¯t take the initiative to contact you, then isn¡¯t that a little too reserved? Was that even the truth?¡± Not his first time¡­? Ruka was at a loss, and then he was completely taken aback by Friend A¡¯s next words, ¡°So, maybe, both of you are fond of the other, but you¡¯re both struggling a bit, so the other side feels you have no interest.¡± THEY LITERALLY CALL HIM FRIEND A!!!! Anyways, that made my day. Also, it is important to note that when Ruka is speaking to Friend A, he uses gender neutral terms, and Friend A uses female specific ones. This has always been much easier than my other two projects, but¡­.for some reason¡­.the last few paragraphs were not. Damn son. Chapter 17 Screen Partner Chapter 17 Of course not. Ruka sneered at the thought, it was obvious that Xu Zheyi liked him, and he probably, probably, probably, also had a little interest in him. He glanced over at Xu Zheyi¡¯s naked upper body. Despite the fact that it was winter, the script¡¯s next scene aimed to show off the men¡¯s seductive physiques in the sunny atmosphere on the beach. For this reason, all four actors were forced to take off their tops, don swim trunks and beach towels, and participate in a ¡®youthful¡¯ beach volleyball event. Originally, Ruka had thought that it would be just a boring little scene between the real action, but, after seeing Xu Zheyi, he finally felt that the game was a little interesting. It was cool and fairly windy, which caused Xu Zheyi to tightly cross his arms over his chest in an attempt to stay warm. His muscles were not obvious, but his body lines were beautiful and his skin looked incomparably smooth. Ruka suddenly narrowed his eyes; he noticed that Xu Zheyi had not covered one of his nipples, and the cold caused it to stand upright. The scene from a few days ago rushed into his brain¡ªhe had pushed Xu Zheyi down and licked that nipple until it was red and swollen¡­ Ruka felt a rush of heat surge in between his legs. Xu Zheyi seemed to feel his fiery gaze. He turned his head, found it was his, and then covered his chest even more tightly. His defensive reaction made Ruka smile. He began to head over to the other man¡ªhe wanted to stir him up in order to make the guy show an angry expression, but Ah Li went to Xu Zheyi¡¯s side before he could approach. The two men spoke to one-another in low voices that he could not hear. Finally, after some discussion, and regardless Xu Zheyi¡¯s obvious refusals, Ah Li put his coat over Xu Zheyi¡¯s shoulders. Xu Zheyi glanced over after that, and caught Ruka¡¯s stare. Ruka frowned. Xu Zheyi was really smart. Ruka had to admit that he was very unhappy seeing other men get so close, but, the same trick too many times was not fun¡­Are you here for a movie or a relationship? If you¡¯re looking for a quickie please go online to find a better place, it¡¯s less disgusting than being seen here¡­suddenly, the words Xiang had spoken before sprang into his head. Ruka¡¯s movements paused, and he recalled that the two men seemed to know one another even before the audition. Not as if that mattered anyways, since in the end, Xu Zheyi chose him. So, maybe, both of you are fond of the other, but you¡¯re both struggling a bit, so the other side feels you have no interest. Friend A¡¯s words suddenly bounced up from the depths of memory, like a big hammer, and hit him on the forehead. For a moment, Ruka was shaken up. Although it felt impossible, he could not help but think, was it really his misunderstanding? Like Ruka, Xu Zheyi was also mired in uncertainty. Rewind the time back half an hour ago, in the bathroom. At that time, Xu Zheyi had just emptied his bladder, and his mood was a little happy. So, when he came face-to-face with Xiang, he gave a pleasant, ¡°Hi¡­¡± ¡°Rotten old man.¡± Xu Zheyi¡¯s smile immediately froze on his face. He looked back and made sure he was the only one in the bathroom, and suddenly his expression went fierce, ¡°Who the fuck are you©¤¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know why Ruka would like such a rotten old man.¡± Xiang¡¯s words were like a hand, mercilessly gripping Xu Zheyi¡¯s throat. In fact, he also felt some faint stirrings of feelings, but feeling that and saying it out loud were completely different matters. Now that he was a bit wiser, he knew that as long as he pretended not to know, he would not lose his escape route. ¡°You, you ¡­¡± He stuttered for a while, unsure which statement he should refute first: ¡®Ruka likes you¡¯ or ¡®old man¡¯. The other side seemed to have no intention of listening to any explanation that he could offer. Xiang pursed his lips, and his eyes seethed with hate, ¡°Since Ruka chose you, you should be good to him. Stop fooling around with other men.¡± Hearing these malicious words, Xu Zheyi felt too powerless to even properly explain. His mouth was dry and he was rendered completely speechless. But it was inevitable that he felt some anxiety over the matter. How did Xiang know that Ruka liked him? Did Ruka say anything to him? The thought of Ruka solemnly confiding his feelings in Xiang cased Xu Zheyi¡¯s skin to crawl, and he broke out in goose bumps over his entire body. Beneath that reaction, Xu Zheyi also had a subtle refreshing feeling; that guy had pretty good taste. He wanted to laugh a little, but under Ruka¡¯s gaze he restrained himself. This atmosphere was maintained until Ah Li came over. When Ah Li insisted that Xu Zheyi wear his coat on his shoulders, he could not stop himself from taking a guilty look over at Ruka. Although the other man¡¯s face remained completely expressionless, for some reason that he could not explain, Xu Zheyi knew that he was very unhappy. I stumbled onto some free time, so here¡¯s the next chapter. RAAS is next! Chapter 18 Screen Partner Chapter 18 Ruka¡¯s anger became evident during the beach volleyball event. It was clearly written in the script that they were only jumping and spiking and other movements in order to show off their muscle lines. Despite this, Ruka killed the ball every time, and almost every ball was mercilessly aimed at Ah Li¡¯s face or body. One particular shot hit his body and left a bruise. ¡°Are you all right?¡± Xu Zheyi asked out of sympathy. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m just lucky that it didn¡¯t hit my face,¡± answered Ah Li with a wry smile. The two men whispered a few words together, then separated and returned to their current activity. Xu Zheyi turned around, and noticed that Xiang was glaring in his direction, and his face bore an, ¡®I caught you,you adulterer¡¯ expression. If it was in the past, Xu Zheyi would have just ignored him. However, after that inexplicable confrontation in the bathroom, it seemed that Xiang had firmly labelled him as Ruka¡¯s man in his mind. Why would he even think that? Xu Zheyi broke out in a cold sweat. Clearly he was a straight man, so why was he suddenly being matched up with another man? ¡°Dinner is ready,¡± announced the executive producer, loudly. Because it was winter, it was already dark despite the fact that it was only six o¡¯clock in the evening. The staff members quickly finished their meals, and then returned to their respective jobs. The actors donned their yukatas, and sat on the steps of the courtyard waiting for the next scene. It was a mystery how the production team was able to find this shooting location; it was a quaint cottage right on the seaside. Apparently it was an old, traditional Japanese home that had been renovated. Despite the changes, it still had the wooden screen doors and wooden corridors.There was an old tree in the center of the courtyard that dominated the space, and gave it a sense of age and history. Over time, and with the changes made, it had become an interesting mix of traditional Japanese style melded with Taiwanese decor. Xu Zheyi was feeling uncomfortable, but when he did a quick check of himself from East to West, he found that there was nothing wrong. He sported an indigo striped yukata that was made in a traditional style. The thick white belt that secured it perfectly accented his slender waist and narrow hips. His alluring looks provoked the make-up artist, who could not help but to pat his butt, only stopping after they had eaten a few mouthfuls of tofu1. He subconsciously looked around and finally located Ruka sitting on a stone chair that was situated a ways away. Ruka¡¯s yukata was mostly black, with some white. Xu Zheyi did not know if it was because of the yukata¡¯s style or a deliberate decision by the make-up artist, but Ruka¡¯s collar was open and very low. It revealed his impressive chest muscles, and caused him to give off a very sexy vibe. He already had such an impressive body and temperament at the young age of 22 years¡­Xu Zheyi could not help silently complaining about the injustices of heaven. Ruka seemed to feel his gaze and looked up. Xu Zheyi did not know what kind of attitude he should display, and turned around to avoid being embarrassed. At precisely this time, the producer began to prepare the fireworks. Following this, the director gathered all four actors together to distribute the fireworks, and explained the location of the shoot and how it would work. To be honest, every time Xu Zheyi read through this part of the script, he felt that it was so girly it caused his scalp to go numb. Four big men with sparklers and fireworks? Even though just the thought gave him an effeminate feeling, the actual process of filming was different. Something about it gave off an ineffable2 feeling of pure love and affection. In reality, it was not so difficult to accept. Xu Zheyi looked over at Ah Li and Xiang, who were a few meters away, and could not help feeling that way. Xiang was dressed in a white yukata, and Ah Li was wearing a dark brown yukata. The two men were squatting side-by-side, so close that their shoulders were touching. Xiang¡¯s large, doe-like eyes focused on Ah Li as he lit his sparkler. He appeared incomparably supple and lovely, and attracted a gentle smile from Ah Li. Xu Zheyi was very clear that, as soon as the director shouted ¡®cut¡¯, that sweet scene would disappear immediately. Despite that, for a moment, he was frightened to find himself thinking that the two men could be together, and it seemed like a good match. At this time, he felt deeply that a certain door in his life was forced open because of his participation in this GV, and probably would not be closed again any time soon. He withdrew his gaze and returned to watching Ruka, who had squatted beside him, as he held his sparkler. His face still had about as much expression as a dead fish, but a closer look revealed that he was actually a little listless. Whether the other side¡¯s emotions were because of him or not, Xu Zheyi did not know the answer. He just felt that this dejected behaviour was not a good fit for Ruka. Get your bibs ready folks, the next chapters are spicy! I will try not to take too long, but they¡¯re longer than this one, so I may not be able to whip them off on my lunch break like this. Chapter 19 Screen Partner Chapter 19 They quickly finished filming the fireworks scene out in the courtyard, and then all of the staff moved inside to start the next scene in the guest room. The style of the room was predominantly Japanese; the floors were tatami, and the room itself was very spacious. Xu Zheyi could not help exchanging looks with Ah Li. The next scene was very clearly laid out in the script. Although the two couples would strictly be sleeping with their own partners, they were going to be in the same room. There was no hiding from the other, and the degree of shame shot straight up. Ruka and Xiang seemed to have no special feelings when it came to this scenario, but Xu Zheyi and Ah Li were extremely anxious. Ah Li was still somewhat traumatized after his previous filming session, where he was constantly scolded by the director for his soft lower half. On the other hand, Xu Zheyi felt that his previous experience had destroyed a part of the person he was. In the past, he was not usually very enthusiastic about sex¡ªin fact he was rather conservative. He had never thought that he would one day have to take part in a GV. On top of that, not only did he have to film a GV, but now he had to do it with another couple in the room. The two men who felt pressured to do so individually swallowed their two yellow pills together before filming. ¡°How will I do it, I don¡¯t feel anything yet?¡± Asked Ah Li in a concerned voice before stepping into the room. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you will definitely know once it starts working.¡± Xu Zheyi assured him in a whisper. Seeing the two men in front of him whispering together intimately, Ruka¡¯s eyes narrowed in an instant. The director sat at a low table at the back of the room, and gazed at the two monitors on the table. One of them showed two of the actors engaged in some deep kissing; even the tongue licking and sucking was hot. However, just out of view of the camera, Xu Zheyi was frowning. Ruka¡¯s fingers seemed like they were holding him gently, but he was actually gripping his jaw tightly, forcing him to open his mouth. He aggressively plunged his tongue into the other man¡¯s mouth, licking and biting his soft lips, like a beast that was marking his territory. Xu Zheyi struggled to push back against Ruka¡¯s chest, but the other side was completely unmoved, and leaned in even closer. This excessive persecution made it so that Xu Zheyi could not even swallow properly. His saliva began to flow out of his mouth, and added a bit of an obscene flavour to the scene. What the heck, Xu Zheyi thought, did this guy also eat an aphrodisiac? He was in a bit of a trance, and the tip of his tongue was punished with a bite. Ruka ran his hands down the yukata and then pushed them inside, and stroked Xu Zheyi¡¯s thighs¨Cthe sudden touch caused him to go stiff. At the moment, Xu Zheyi stole a look over at Ah Li and Xiang. They seemed to be moving things along as well. The front of Xiang¡¯s yukata was completely open, and Ah Li was pinching and stroking his nipples, his movements eliciting low groans of pleasure from Xiang. Xu Zheyi¡¯s ears flushed deep red. He had never considered that stimulating the nipples would bring any pleasure until the first bed scene he shot with Ruka. He realized, from that experience, that it actually felt very good. As soon as he recalled that feeling, he felt his nipples growing slightly hot¡­ ¡°Ow!¡± He flinched violently, but then he was suppressed by Ruka. ¡°You¡¯re hard.¡± Ruka taunted as he ruthlessly squeezed Xu Zheyi¡¯s penis with his hand. Xu Zheyi did not know exactly what was the matter. Before he could protest, Ruka had pulled him up by his belt, and he was forced to sit on the other man¡¯s body. ¡°Hey, you¡­¡± However, Ruka did not give him the opportunity to speak, almost as soon as Xu Zheyi had opened his mouth to speak, Ruka grabbed him by the back of his neck and blocked his mouth with a kiss. Although Xu Zheyi did not resent such a passionate kiss, in fact it was actually enjoyable, Ruka¡¯s difficult attitude was making him feel very unhappy. He tried to bite Ruka¡¯s tongue with his teeth, but after failing two times, he decided to give it up on the grounds that he could possibly end up hurting himself. Despite that, Ruka seemed to have noticed his protests. He retreated a little, soothed and licked Xu Zheyi¡¯s swollen lips, and then tenderly licked and kissed a a trail down his neck. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Xu Zheyi moaned as Ruka continued down to his chest. The camera was shooting from behind his back. Looking on the screen, Xu Zheyi¡¯s yukata had been pulled completely open. It loosely hung from his arms at the elbows, and revealed his fair and smooth back and the taper of his body down to his slender waist. His eyes were half closed, and he wore a look that hinted he could scarcely endure the sensations he was experiencing. His ears were as red as blood, and even the director was attracted by his seductive, yet restrained atmosphere. Ruka at this time was immersed in tasting Xu Zheyi¡¯s chest, and he sucked and licked his two small buds. He felt that today¡¯s Xu Zheyi was very aroused. Before he had even touched him, his nipples had already perked right up. It made him very unhappy. Although he did not want to admit it, it seemed as if Xu Zheyi¡¯s heightened state was indeed because of the presence of Ah Li. He continued tasting Xu Zheyi¡¯s erect nipples, gently biting them as he went, and then reached down to touch his half-hard cock. Xu Zheyi could not perceive Ruka¡¯s bitter mood. He gasped as Ruka stroked up and down his manhood, and could not help but hug his neck for support. He ended up completely shifting all of his weight onto Ruka. In that moment he recalled awkwardly that there was another pair in the room, and glanced over only to be astonished by what he saw. Xiang was positioned between Ah Li¡¯s legs, and was performing oral sex. He was in a position that left nothing to the imagination; he had kneeled down in a way that showed off his slender waist, narrow buttocks, and long legs. He certainly had a good figure. Because they were so close to them, Xu Zheyi had a clear view of his skillful handling. This caused his face to turn a deep, fiery red. Oh, hell. Aside from those two words, his brain could no longer muster any intelligible thoughts. From his birth until now, Xu Zheyi had never watched a GV. He never would have anticipated that there would suddenly be one, in person, played out in front of him. He simply could not look away from them. When he discovered Xu Zheyi¡¯s watchful eyes, Xiang shot a quick look back at him, and then provocatively licked Ah Li¡¯s shaft like it was candy, from the base to the top. With this sudden move, Xu Zheyi heard Ah Li¡¯s breathing grow ragged and unsteady. He could not restrain himself from loudly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and his body burned up like it was on fire. Within Ruka¡¯s firm grip, his penis suddenly swelled up, pulsing unbearably. A man¡¯s physiological response has always been very easy to provoke with visual stimulation. Xu Zheyi did not even have time to moan, and Ruka had pushed him down onto the tatami. The next second, his field of vision was dominated completely by Ruka¡¯s face. Although his facial expression still seemed unchanged, Xu Zheyi finally realized that he was very upset. ¡°Is that man so good-looking?¡± Ruka whispered in his ear¡­ What man? Xu Zheyi was completely confused by the current situation. However, Ruka did not give him the opportunity to ask any questions, and immediately leaned over and kissed him. Surprise! It just so happened that I got carried away again. This chapter is like a warm-up to the main event? Hope you enjoyed it, there¡¯s definitely more to come! I¡¯m a little over halfway through the next PUP chapter as well, so hopefully that will be available soon. Chapter 20 Screen Partner Chapter 20 I¡¯m going to die. After his second ejaculation, Xu Zheyi could not help thinking that was the case. At that moment, he was lying down on the tatami with three of Ruka¡¯s fingers inserted in his back entrance. Ruka¡¯s lower body was pressing progressively closer to his thigh, and it was at this moment that the director called out ¡®cut¡¯. ¡°Very nice,¡± the director extolled with satisfaction, ¡°Now switch your positions.¡± Xu Zheyi, unsure of what was happening, opened his eyes in time to see the naked Xiang climb over, and then lay down right beside him. ¡°Hey¡­¡± he wanted to speak up and stop Xiang¡¯s bold and unconstrained behaviour, but he was unexpectedly interrupted by Xiang, who threw him a sideways glance, and asked, ¡°Are you a premature ejaculator?¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Xu Zheyi began protesting. ¡°Good thing you¡¯re a bottom. If you were a straight guy, how could you ever find a girlfriend?¡± Xiang¡¯s cold words of ¡®comfort¡¯ were not only completely unhelpful, they were like a knife mercilessly stabbed into Xu Zheyi¡¯s heart. He was already insecure, and he did not want to admit that the reason that happened was due to the pills that he had taken, so he shut up. ¡°It¡¯s better to be sensitive than a dead fish,¡± chimed the photographer, interrupting the two of them. To this Xiang could only make a small noise of agreement, not bothering to say anything. It was at this point that Xu Zheyi realized that the atmosphere was not quite right. He caught sight of Ah Li at this time, and noticed that he was frowning anxiously while looking down at his lower half. His dick was, at best, only half hard. He seemed very reluctant to put the condom on, and his figure looked a bit pitiful. ¡­How could this be? Xu Zheyi frowned, unable to understand what had happened. Clearly both men had taken the medicine at the same time. There was no reason that one had already gotten off twice, and yet the other was not even fully erect. Xu Zheyi¡¯s head was still full of questions as they began filming again, but it was not long before his mind went completely blank, with no room to think about other people¡¯s problems. Unlike Ah Li, who thrust directly into Xiang¡¯s body, Ruka¡¯s moves were obviously more thoughtful. With the end of his shaft, he gently rubbed the tip between Xu Zheyi¡¯s legs. He pressed slowly against his tight hole, entered part of the way, then pulled back out before pushing even deeper. He continued this back and forth motion several times, and by the time he reached full penetration, both men had begun sweating a bit. Xu Zheyi could not help releasing the breath that he had been holding almost the whole time. Although it was strange to have a foreign body inside of him, once Ruka began to rock his hips he grew more comfortable. Before he could even feel concerned about how lewd his body was at that moment, he was caught up in the sensations as Ruka went on the attack. Xu Zheyi could not comprehend how, with every thrust, Ruka managed to accurately locate his good spot. ¡°Ah¡­¡± He frowned and bit his lip to hold back the moans that escaped his lips. His legs were spread, sandwiching Ruka¡¯s waist tightly. His yukata had been pulled wide open, and offered no coverage to his body. In response to Ruka¡¯s steady rhythm of thrusting, Xu Zheyi¡¯s light pink manhood stood up honestly, and gave off the impression that just a touch would cause liquid to spill out. Ruka glanced down, distracted by the view in front of him. Xu Zheyi had continued to shave the hair growing around his lower body. Although the smoothness resembled an innocent youth, the fully erect penis revealed the truth of his maturity; such a strong contrast doubled the visual impact. Ruka could not help feigning indifference, and then adjusted the yukata so that it covered Xu Zheyi¡¯s lower half. When he covered it up, he left the impression that he was worried the other man would be chilled and catch a cold. Xu Zheyi did not have the luxury to consider why Ruka had done that. He was frowning, struggling to resist the pleasure that was overwhelming him. At that moment, Ruka began groping his chest. His whole body shook as he desperately tried to control his voice. ¡°Ah, ah¡­¡± Xu Zheyi was stunned as Xiang¡¯s voice sounded loudly from beside him, and then continued, ¡°Right there¡­Ah, ah¡­¡± Xu Zheyi slowly turned his head to the side. He caught a glimpse of Xiang¡¯s misty, half-open eyes, and noticed that his legs were folded up in an M-shape. His waist was also moving up and down in concert with Ah Li¡¯s steady rhythm of thrusting, and each movement drew out a loud moan. This was too much¡­Xu Zheyi was so embarrassed that he blushed all the way down to his neck. In his opinion, a man should not cry out like that no matter how good he feels. When he considered that he could end up crying out in pleasure louder than a woman, Xu Zheyi¡¯s hair stood up straight on end. He did not understand how Xiang could make a racket so naturally. It was even more embarrassing than having sex in public. He frowned and closed his eyes, but he could not close his ears. Perhaps because his eyes were closed, the nonstop sound of Xiang calling out beside him seemed to be drilling into his brain; his hearing and sense of touch seemed to be sharper than usual. In addition, the squelching sounds that accompanied the constant thrusts could be heard perfectly. He could also feel every move Ruka made distinctly, and it was almost tortuous as Ruka plunged in and rotated against his sensitive area. In that moment, Ruka pulled almost all the way out, and then slammed back in. Xu Zheyi¡¯s legs were pulled open wide, and he thought that he probably looked like the actress in the AV he had watched before. Ruka leaned further onto his body, and kept pumping his hips vigorously; he even lowered his head to suck his partner¡¯s nipple. Xu Zheyi felt like he was the wrong gender. He was a man, but he had surrendered beneath Ruka¡¯s body like that woman in the film, and felt immense pleasure from it. This obscene behaviour was all clearly recorded by the camera. The extreme shame caused him to tremble, but he was also more excited. ¡°Does it feel that good when I play with your nipples?¡± Ruka teased, misunderstanding the full cause of his sudden high temperature. He groped his cock maliciously through the yukata¡¯s fabric and continued speaking, ¡°You see here, aren¡¯t you too wet¡­¡± Before he had even finished speaking, he felt Xu Zheyi¡¯s hole tighten around him, and his pale white chest was tinged pink. Such an honest physiological reaction caused Ruka to blank for a moment, and then his own dick swelled up more, and became so hard it hurt. He lifted Xu Zheyi¡¯s lower body even higher, adjusted his angle, and then continued thrusting with even greater tenacity. In the beginning, he had skillfully used little tricks to incite Xu Zheyi, but in this moment, he resorted to more self-serving actions, and pounded into the other man with direct strokes. He looked down at Xu Zheyi, whose chest now bore a vivid shade of red as he hovered on the verge of climaxing. Xu Zheyi¡¯s seductive appearance also caught the videographer¡¯s attention; he moved right next to Xu Zheyi with his camera, and captured the look on his face as well as the redness of his chest at point blank range. It was at this moment that Ah Li happened to look down at Xu Zheyi, and found himself unable to tear his eyes away. Although he was not outright repulsed by a man¡¯s body, that did not mean he was interested in it. While he could manage an erection, and was able to stay hard inside another man, it was something he was reluctant to do. At least until that moment when he saw Xu Zheyi. He had often heard the name ¡®Xu Zheyi¡¯, and had seen him on the news and in various newspapers and magazines. To him, Xu Zheyi was quite handsome, and a senior worth imitating. Even when he heard that the both of them would be in a GV, at most he only thought that they must be alike, and doing this as a last resort. He never expected the present situation. That man was always in the magazines, showing a polite and cheerful smile. As a male model, he had been voted into the top ten of ¡®Man I want to date¡¯ by women. That same man was now lying next to him, being fucked by another man, and was about to reach his third climax. He knew that he should not look at him anymore, but his eyes glued onto Xu Zheyi of their own volition. He was frowning slightly and biting his lip, and his face revealed that he could barely endure the pleasure he was experiencing. His cheeks and ears were flushed red, and crystal beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, neck, and chest. His arousal level continued to rise because he had not yet achieved release, and this resulted in an alluring red glow all over his torso. Was it really that incredible to have sex with a man? Ah Li did not know. He only felt a rush of heat to his lower body, making his dick swell. His explicit line of sight disturbed Ruka when he saw it, and he quickly leaned over Xu Zheyi so that all that could be seen was his own back. This move caused the director to stand up urgently, and he proceeded to signal in an animated manner for Ruka to revert back to his original position. Ruka pretended not to see. He bowed his head down and kissed Xu Zheyi¡¯s shoulder, and then on the lips, comforting the man who had no idea what had just happened. The director was fuming with rage. He had heard what it was like to work with Ruka from some of his director peers. The general opinion was that ¡®although he is a bit difficult to control, he is still a professional¡¯. He had not been sure what they meant by ¡®difficult to control¡¯, but the truth of the matter had finally come out. He would like to shout ¡®cut¡¯, but he was concerned that shouting may disturb the mood Xu Zheyi had going, so he hesitated. In the end, he decided to move somewhere Ruka could see him properly, and then made a series of gestures that basically meant, ¡®let me see him properly or I will kill you, you arrogant bastard¡¯. Ruka was aware that he had offended the director. He frowned for a moment, and then knelt back. The director thought the boy had finally smartened up. He never expected that Ruka would pull the man up on top of him, and he honestly was not sure how he did it. His entire upper body was naked, and the black yukata hung loosely from his waist, fluttering along with his steady movements. His eyes were a little hesitant, but soon he made up his mind. He gripped Xu Zheyi¡¯s slender waist with his right hand, and as waves of pleasure washed over him, he extended his left thumb. His black eyes gave a seductive stare, and he looked intently at the camera, and slowly licked his thumb. While he performed that lewd action, he never ceased his steady rhythm. Xiang glanced over to the side and was so dumbfounded that he even forgot to keep crying out. He had always liked Ruka, and while he truly had no interest in watching AVs, if Ruka was in them he had always watched them religiously. And in those films, despite his excessive lust, Ruka¡¯s attitude had always been utterly indifferent, despite always giving an exceptional performance. Xu Zheyi¡¯s breathing turned more ragged, and when he saw Ruka rubbing his nipples with his damp thumb, he could not help it; he shuddered and ejaculated once again. After seeing Ruka¡¯s I¡¯m fine so just film me attitude, the director had to compromise, and directed the videographer to shoot Ruka and Xu Zheyi from the top. On the screen, Ruka looked especially sexy with sweat beading down his firm chest and abdominal muscles. His abdominal muscles were particularly enticing; his every move revealed every line and ridge and it was very alluring. He knew that the camera was aimed at him, so he increased the intensity of his pumping. Every thrust he did plunged his shaft so deep inside, it seemed as if even his scrotum would be forced into Xu Zheyi¡¯s back side. Once again, Xu Zheyi felt like he was going to die. Soon after Ruka picked up the intensity, he came again. His waist shook vigorously, and his semen dripped everywhere¡ªeven on the tatami, and made a sticky mess. His ejaculation time was particularly long, but because he had already climaxed several times, the semen was a little thin, and it was like his scrotum was completely hollowed out. He leaned back on the tatami, but he was soon pulled up again by Ruka. It was then that Ruka finally reached the peak. After plunging deeply a few more times, he paused and began to release. Despite the fact that he was wearing a condom, Xu Zheyi could still feel Ruka¡¯s cock pulsating within him as a hot liquid poured out. He was powerless to do anything but wait for the other to finish, and it was at this moment that Ruka whispered in his ear, ¡°Hey, Xu Zheyi.¡± Xu Zheyi turned his head to look at Ruka, and was kissed. The kiss was completely different from the intense sex they had just engaged in; it was gentle and soft. Xu Zheyi felt an inexplicable ache in his heart. I sincerely hope you enjoyed this blessing from BL heaven the author gave us. Also, would like to point out that I have been searching for some interesting synonyms lately. Fufufufu. I hope they don¡¯t monitor my internet history too closely at work¡­even though it is on my break time¡­ Chapter 21 Screen Partner Chapter 21 The four-person bed scene was finished, and that also represented the end of the first GV. The staff members quickly set to work and cleaned up in anticipation of going out for a celebratory meal. They made a huge racket requesting the director to provide a meal for everyone. Fortunately, the director was prepared for this, and indicated with a wave that it was fine. The crew all piled into their vehicles and drove out, and they all arrived shortly at a street in town well known for its many restaurants. For this reason, although it was already 11 at night, the street was still noisy, and fairly busy. The crew found a clean looking stir-fry shop to sit down in. They quickly began to throw away money by the handful, ordering many expensive dishes and sake. The director shot everyone a fierce look, but in the end silently accepted his defeat. Soon enough, the director did not seem to mind, and to everyone¡¯s surprise, he was the first to open two bottles of sake. He poured a generous round for the entire crew, and then called over Ruka¡ªwhom he both loved and hated¡ªto drink with him. Ruka had gone through significant difficulties to ensure that he could sit next to Xu Zheyi, so of course, he was not willing to easily let someone else take his place. Unfortunately, the director did not care about that kind of thing, and sent two strong assistants who basically dragged him over. No sooner had Ruka left, and Ah Li was hot on his heels to take the open place. He sat down, holding his drink in his hand. ¡°Thank you for the medicine,¡± he made a toast to Xu Zheyi and whispered his thanks. Xu Zheyi glanced over at the sake, and then asked him, ¡°Do you really feel like it was useful?¡± Ah Li thought for a moment, and then spoke, ¡°I didn¡¯t feel anything at first, but then the effect hit me all at once, and I was completely¡­¡± He did not know what to think or say, and his face was suddenly flushed. Xu Zheyi was not interested in studying his psychological state, so he nodded hastily. At this time the waiter brought out their food. The crew seated around the table held their chopsticks like they were weapons, ready to wage war for the meal that lay before them. Xu Zheyi was also quick to join the battle. Although there was still a communication barrier stemming from the fact that the film crew was mostly Japanese, after a few cups of sake, everyone was getting along far better, and without concern. Everyone there kept going strong until the restaurant closed, and then they were clamoring to go somewhere else to continue the celebration. At this time Xu Zheyi deeply realized the pain of his older body. The intense sex was just too burdensome for him. When they had just finished he could not really feel it, but after a satiating meal, a bone-deep tiredness washed over him. He was overcome with an exhausted and lazy feeling, and although he did not necessarily want to sleep, he still wanted to find a quiet place to sit down and rest for a while. He ended up taking a seat on a bench on the sidewalk. The majority of the staff members had swarmed a nearby convenience store, and they were like locusts sweeping the shelves clean of all kinds of alcohol and snacks. They made excited plans to take it all back to the hotel to eat and drink. A few people had gathered outside the shop door to smoke, and chatted amongst themselves while they waited. Ruka was one of the few who had remained outside, and stood by himself. At that moment he was not too far away. He did not say a word, but motioned for Xu Zheyi to come over with a crook of his index finger. Xu Zheyi was not completely confident that motion was meant for him, and wanted to confirm whether the other party was calling him. Ruka did not speak, and just accelerated the motions with his index finger. Xu Zheyi complied, and started moving toward Ruka. The other party was obviously satisfied with his obedient behaviour. A silly little smile lit up his face; his sharp, tiger teeth just visible. When Xu Zheyi saw his smile, it actually made his heartbeat accelerate a bit, and he could not help trying to take a second glance. When he looked closer, he found Ruka staring straight ahead, eyes lax, and obviously completely drunk. ¡°Hey, are you all right?¡± He recalled that Ruka had been called over by the director, and ruthlessly made to drink. He could not help being a little worried. Ruka paid his concern no heed, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him forward. The two men crossed the alley, turned left and then right, and came to a row of bikes1. Just as Xu Zheyi felt his head fill with question marks, he saw Ruka try the one of the locks, and his question mark immediately turned into a cold sweat. ¡°Hey¡­¡± ¡°Come on up, it was hard to find an unlocked bike,¡± drawled the drunken guy, and he quickly quickly stepped up and patted the back cushion, and then smiled at him. ¡­What the hell are you doing? For Xu Zheyi, who had no resistance towards Ruka¡¯s smile, he immediately hated iron for not becoming steel2. **** The two men rode the stolen bike, and began their somewhat crooked journey off towards the unknown. The back seat was not comfortable at all, especially when they rode over a bumpy section of road. Xu Zheyi was in so much pain, he thought perhaps it was caused by a hemorrhoid flaring up. Just as he planned to jump off the bike, Ruka finally stopped and announced, ¡°Here it is.¡± Xu Zheyi climbed down from the back seat, and followed Ruka for a few steps. That was when he heard the sound of the waves. It was the sea at night. The two men casually took off their shoes and put them near the side of the road, and and then walked onto the beach. The sand still bore some of the warmth from the day¡¯s sun, but the sea breeze was chilly. Once they were exposed to the cold wind, the two men who had been feeling so hot because of all the liquor immediately sobered up. ¡°How do you know my full name?¡± After sitting shoulder to shoulder with Ruka on the beach for a while, Xu Zheyi eventually raised this question out of curiosity. Ruka, of course, would not admit him that he had googled him, and answered, ¡°It was written in the script.¡± ¡­Utter nonsense. Xu Zheyi was confident that answer was bullshit, but he did not want to push it by asking again. He lay down and stared at the stars in the night sky, and Ruka joined him. Perhaps it was due to the influence of alcohol, but he was able to relax completeley. It was rare that he did not feel awkward, even though Ruka was right at his side. The two of them prattled on with some meaningless conversation, when suddenly Xu Zheyi asked, ¡°Hey, why did you want to shoot AV, ah?¡± ¡°I lost a bet,¡± Ruka answered indifferently. Xu Zheyi suddenly had a strange premonition, so continued that line of questioning, ¡°Then you took a role in the GV because¡­¡± ¡°I lost another bet.¡± ¡­What kind of person was this? Xu Zheyi was speechless. After a while, he asked, ¡°What kind of gambling?¡± Ruka was probably sleepy, and childishly rubbed his eyes. He tried his best to think, and then guessed, ¡°It seemed like we were playing cards. I was drunk and I didn¡¯t remember it, but my friend told me the next morning.¡± This was a fraud, right? Xu Zheyi was speechless, and could not help asking, ¡°Have you ever considered the possibility that your friend was cheating you?¡± ¡°Why would he lie to me?¡± Ruka asked in a puzzled voice. Judging clearly, Xu Zheyi suddenly felt his mind fill with complex thoughts, and immediately changed the topic by asking, ¡°Is he a good friend?¡± ¡°We have known each other since childhood. Although he is an asshole, his filming skills are excellent.¡± In a flash, Xu Zheyi thought of the owner of the online album who had photographed Ruka¡¯s cheerful smile. Without examining his state of mind, he pretended to be indifferent and inquired, ¡°What kind of work has he done?¡± Ruka thought a moment, and then answered, ¡°I didn¡¯t ask him that, but all of my AVs were filmed by him.¡± Xu Zheyi frowned, and felt that this story was growing more and more strange. Ruka didn¡¯t seem to think anything of it. He dug into his pocket and pulled out a few fireworks, and handed one to Xu Zheyi, ¡°Shall we?¡± Xu Zheyi had no good reason to say no. The two people sat up and cooperated to push part of the firework¡¯s tube into the sand, then lit the fuse. They watched as colourful flowers were painted across the sky, and then sunk down to the ground. Xu Zheyi still felt that two big men in the middle of the night on the seaside setting off fireworks was almost sissy. Despite that, occasionally sneaking out to do something like this actually felt a bit good. ¡°It would be even more perfect if we had some beer right now,¡± he lamented, unable to stop from sighing after speaking. Ruka heard his words, and then the corners of his mouth slowly rose up. Xu Zheyi was still thinking about it when he saw him slowly pull a bottle of beer from the inside of his coat. ¡°¡­May I check your pockets?¡± Xu Zheyi requested, surprised. Ruka tried to endure, but he could not help laughing, and he revealed his two tiger-like fangs. His appearance was quite manly, and when his face was expressionless he appeared to be much more mature. However, as soon as he saw those tiger teeth, his aura of indifferent distance dropped, and his remaining childishness was quite lovely. Xu Zheyi looked at his smile for two seconds, and clearly felt that this man had the charm to win over men and women alike. Unfortunately, Ruka misunderstood his slow response. His smile waned, and then frowned all of a sudden and asked, ¡°Is it ugly?¡± ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Xu Zheyi had no clue what he was saying all of a sudden. Ruka brushed his fingers across the corner of his mouth, and was a little embarrassed, ¡°My friend said when I smile or laugh it¡¯s hard to look at.¡± ¡­How could he say that? Xu Zheyi could not understand why his friend would say such a thing, and he even began to doubt his own aesthetic. ¡°I don¡¯t know, laugh and smile for me again,¡± he said. Ruka must really be very drunk; he became completely obedient and well spoken. He immediately acquiesced to the audience¡¯s request and smiled. Even his eyes were crinkled, and the look was very innocent¡ªas well as tempting. Xu Zheyi felt his heart pounding wildly, but the thought that maybe someone else had seen this expression did not sit well with him. ¡°Well,¡± he said, smiling wryly at his own hypocrisy, ¡°It¡¯s not very good-looking.¡± Ruka instantly put away his smile, and his face was once more impassive, ¡°I already told you it was like that.¡± Xu Zheyi looked at Ruka. He was not sure why he could tell, but he could unexpectedly feel that underneath that cold face was a feeling of being depressed, and his heart softened. ¡°I don¡¯t mind you smiling at me like this, but in front of others, I think it¡¯s best to control yourself a little bit,¡± he said. Xu Zheyi felt more and more guilty as he spoke. As he was talking though, he immediately noticed something was wrong. ¡°Hold on, could it be that the same friend who told you not to smile in front of others also said that the same words as me?¡± Ruka frowned as he thought back, ¡°He did say that I should not laugh around others, lest I frighten the people around me.¡± Xu Zheyi paused and thought that his friend¡¯s mouth was too cruel, and then continued to cautiously say his deductions, ¡°Is it possible that this was said by your photographer friend?¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± Ruka asked confusedly. Bingo! Xu Zheyi could not help but admire his own detective ability. He roughly put together the clues provided by Ruka. When he thought about it, Ruka¡¯s friend was very strange. Not only did he set him up to film AVs exclusively shot by himself, but it was also clear that he desired to have Ruka¡¯s smiles all to himself¡­ Just as he intended to imply to that Ruka that his photographer friend obviously had some deeper feelings for him, he noticed that the other man¡¯s ears were red. Ruka softly insisted, ¡°He is only an ordinary friend, you don¡¯t need to be unhappy.¡± It took Xu Zheyi three seconds to understand what Ruka was getting at. He hurried to try and explain that it was not what he thought, but as soon as he saw the gentle look in Ruka¡¯s eyes, the words that he had intended to blurt out were withdrawn, and he simply uttered, ¡°En.¡± The atmosphere immediately became strangely ambiguous. The two men who had just been laughing and chatting fell silent. After a moment, they leaned forward and lit the final firework together, as if they had a tacit understanding. ¡°Do you want to kiss?¡± In in front of the colourful fireworks, Ruka¡¯s inquiry came off a bit unnaturally. Xu Zheyi did not even have time to refuse, and Ruka¡¯s lips had already found their mark. It was a very light kiss, without even a bit of tongue; soft and sweet as a first kiss. They had obviously done far more obscene things together, but Xu Zheyi felt that this kiss inexplicably caused his heart to race, and a blush spread across his face. For this novel, this was a long chapter! I found it to be extra sweet, and we got a little more background on Ruka. Also, if you like this novel and want more good smutty reading with a sweet story, I suggest Picked Up a Strange Knight. It¡¯s a similar total length to this one. You certainly will not regret reading it!! You can find it on novelupdates or https://blfor.me/picked-up-a-strange-knight/! Chapter 22 Screen Partner Chapter 22 Although the first GV¡¯s filming had come to an end, Ruka¡¯s battle had only just begun. He spent three minutes clarifying his feelings about Xu Zheyi, and even took a magazine column¡¯s psychological test as a supplement. The conclusion was, ¡®What are you waiting for? You 100% like him,¡¯ and after that result, he could not help frowning. ¡­Was that really so? He spent 30 seconds ruminating over that conclusion, and then he picked up the magazine again and opened to another quiz: ¡®Does he like me or not?¡¯. ¡°Excuse me, Mister,¡± started the young lady working in the store. She had come to drive away this customer who was browsing without buying. As soon as she made eye contact with Ruka, his dark black eyes caused her to falter, and she offered, ¡°Do you need a pencil?¡± Ruka paused, and felt that he really needed a pen to mark his answers, so he nodded, ¡°Thank you,¡± and then delved into the questions in the quiz. He was so absorbed, that he was completely unaware of the whispers of the female shoppers around him. He did not care if it was strange for a big man to be standing in front the magazine rack that held various magazines for women. At this moment, the only thing on his mind was a single line of words: stop secretly loving him¡ªwhy not try taking the initiative? **** ¡°¡­So?¡± Was all Friend A could muster to ask, as he yawned with disinterest. ¡°I¡¯m going after him,¡± stated Ruka, his arms folded across his chest and a serious look on his face, ¡°But I don¡¯t know what to do.¡± Speaking of his experience on that front, Ruka was sexually active at a young age. He lost his virginity at the age of fifteen, and his bed has not been left empty since then. He did not have any concerns about purity, and bore no qualms about having sex without an emotional connection. He often felt that physical communication was much easier than verbal communication. He had several girlfriends in the past few years, but each relationship was very brief. In each case, the other side took the initiative to pursue him. He did not find them annoying, but he did not put any effort into maintaining the relationship. Due to his apparent lack of interest, he was dumped quickly each and every time. Boring, lacking emotion, absent-minded, uninterested¡­his ex-girlfriends¡¯ complaints that led to their inevitable break-up were always the same. Unfortunately, Ruka accepted all these assessments perfunctorily. He was too lazy to change, and eventually declared that he would remain single. He was never able to imagine there was someone he would want to stay with long-term until he met Xu Zheyi. Originally, he had thought that the other was a strong and unyielding guy. How could he have known that messing with him just a bit would cause him to get really angry? His defense was full of holes, he was older; no matter which angle you looked from, it seemed like there was nothing positive for Ruka. However, all these things only made him care more for the other man. ¡°¡­Aren¡¯t they interested in you?¡± Friend A picked up his glass and paused for one second, then immediately moved to hide his lapse. ¡°Oh, that doesn¡¯t matter,¡± answered Ruka confidently, ¡°I¡¯m interested in him.¡± ¡°Well,¡± said Friend A, taking a big gulp of his drink, ¡°Then you should make a move.¡± ¡°It is because I have to act that I came to ask your advice,¡± Ruka snapped, taking for granted that Friend A would help. ¡°Give me some good ideas.¡± Friend A rested his head against his hand and observed Ruka for a few moments. He felt that this man was a bit stupid. He obviously had some deeper thoughts buried within his heart, but his personality was completely straightforward. He had revealed his secret feelings so easily, and it seemed like he did not even consider questioning what he was told. Friend A sighed softly, and then spoke, ¡°She shouldn¡¯t be allergic to animals, right?¡± ¡±Animals?¡± Ruka asked, frowning. ¡°You should go to the animal shelter to find a cute stray dog or stray cat, and then go to her house and hold it in front of her. Tell her that you picked it up off the road on the way over. If it rains on that day, you should let yourself get drenched¡ªthis will make you seem especially down and out. If she likes you and has even a speck of humanity, she will adopt the animal. If she keeps the animal at home, then you will have a just and honourable excuse to go over and spend time with her.¡± ¡±¡­What if he¡¯s allergic to animals?¡± ¡°Then you prepare a box of wine, get her drunk, and conquer her with your body.¡± Ruka silently pondered his words, and then said, ¡°That seems a bit reasonable.¡± ¡­You believe that? Friend A was dumbstruck. He could only pat his shoulder and offer some words of encouragement, ¡°I wish you all the best. If the other side refuses you, call me. I have already bought some wine to drown your sorrows with. Or do you want Yamamoto Ichigo¡¯s1 signed photo? I just had a photo shoot with her recently¡­¡± Ruka¡¯s reply was a straight middle finger. The result of this conversation greeted Xu Zheyi a couple days later at his front door. It was a cold, rainy night, and Ruka stood stoically in front of him dressed in black leather from head-to-toe. His hands were wrapped protectively around his chest, and he was as wet as a drowned rat. In that moment, Xu Zheyi had a thousand questions stuck in his throat: why are you at my house, why didn¡¯t you take shelter from the rain, etc¡­ All of his doubts flew away when Ruka reached inside his leather coat and pulled out a small, fluffy, white thing. After it let out a pitiful little whimper, his resistance was completely crushed into little pieces. His mind blanked for two seconds before he remembered to hold an umbrella he had quickly grabbed over Ruka¡¯s head. He could not help but let out a sigh, ¡°Come on up,¡± he said. Good luck Ruka! This was a nice short chapter. With that, there are officially less than 10 chapters left in this delightful story. Please look forward to them, I guarantee you¡¯ll enjoy. I¡¯m currently stumbling through the next chapter of RAAS. Can¡¯t really say how long it may take. Chapter 23 Screen Partner Chapter 23 From the end of the last shoot until now, three days had passed. Although it could not be considered a very long time, it was enough time for Xu Zheyi to realize that if he and Ruka continued to develop this way, the road would only lead to one destination: lovers. He could not bring himself to accept that. He did not like homosexuality, and he did not want to be gay. He could not deny that when he heard Ruka confess that he liked him, he was secretly pleased. However, that was owing to the relationship between them in the GV. The two men played a couple in the film and had very intimate physical contact. It was totally normal to experience that kind of misconception, ok? Xu Zheyi believed that if there was enough time and distance between them, he would be able to return to normal©¤ ¡°Achoo!¡± He helplessly turned back and stared at the man who had destroyed his perfect plan. Ruka still showed an impassive face. He was soaking wet, and his nose was red. ¡°Give it to me,¡± ordered Xu Zheyi. He held open the towel, wrapping up the fluffy white ball as he took it into his arms. Its whole body was warm and dry; looked like Ruka had protected it very well. It did not have a single wet hair on its body. It nestled into Xu Zheyi¡¯s bosom, then curiously raised his head and pushed the tip of its moist nose onto the man¡¯s face. Damn it, thought Xu Zheyi. How could that guy know he was the least resistant to this type of fluffy puppy? ¡°I picked it up on the road. I¡¯ve had it dewormed and vaccinated, and I thought you might like it.¡± Ruka¡¯s tone was very indifferent, but his eyes were a little guilty. Xu Zheyi was so caught up in his own psychological struggle that he did not even notice that look. He was very familiar with the concept of giving a dog to someone, because he himself had used that trick to pursue an ex-girlfriend. It was the saddest breakup of his life so far, because he could not get custody of the husky. Xu Zheyi felt apprehension in his heart. He immediately told himself that he should refuse Ruka. This dog represented Ruka¡¯s free pass into his home. Once he agreed to raise it, that would give Ruka a reason to stop by from then on¡­ The fluffy little ball let out a small whine, nipped his sleeve, and then crooked his neck to stare at Xu Zheyi with big, bright black eyes. Xu Zheyi¡¯s heart was almost instantly melted. He stubbornly maintained his sanity, threw a big bath towel at Ruka, and ordered, ¡°You take a bath first.¡± ¡­It actually worked. As Ruka lathered up the shampoo in his hair, he could not help thinking¡ªwould the drinking also work? As soon as I imagined it, the rising corners of his mouth could not be forced back down. He dried his body casually and walked out, glancing over at Xu Zheyi. He was squatting in front of a cardboard box that he had managed to find somewhere. When he heard Ruka walk out, he dropped the towel he was holding, and without looking at him immediately declared, ¡°I agree to look after it for two days, so you need to find an owner. I won¡¯t raise it.¡± Ruka responded in a noncommittal manner, ¡°Oh.¡± Here we go again¡ªthe subtle mood that Ruka was able to project with that simple ¡®oh¡¯ caused Xu Zheyi¡¯s heart to palpitate. He could not help glancing up at the other man, and when he did his face blackened in an instant. ¡°Can¡¯t you just grab a towel and cover it?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Asked Ruka as he freely stretched in all his naked glory, ¡°It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen it. ¡± Xu Zheyi frowned and said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t speak that way¡­¡± ¡°Or do you feel inferior?¡± ¡­Tomorrow, Xu Zheyi gritted his teeth as he thought, tomorrow I will get rid of that dog! **** The natural outcome was that the dog was still there after two days. Xu Zheyi was originally determined to send it away, and even advertised online for a new owner. Despite that, Ruka brought a pet bed and dog food the next day, then cleaning supplies and a leash, then snacks and clothes¡­When Xu Zheyi finally snapped back to reality, the puppy¡¯s things had already been stacked into a mountain. Before he noticed, this puppy had already put down roots in his life. What was even more hateful was that Ruka adopted a buy-one-get-one attitude. Xu Zheyi used all his courage to refuse, but for unknown reasons, whenever he saw Ruka make that face he couldn¡¯t say anything. He knew very well that he was being led around by the nose. Next time, he thought in his heart, he would refuse Ruka next time. Without realizing it, each time ¡®next time¡¯ came, he would always put it off until next time. Unwittingly, Ruka had visited 36 times, walked the dog 34 times, mooched 27 meals, napped on the couch 13 times, and he played eight video games with Xu Zheyi to completion. By the time Xu Zheyi reacted, Ruka was also taking up space in his life. He was like a dandelion blown into his hand by the wind. He held it for a moment, thinking that after waiting a bit he would blow it away. Before that could happen, it quickly took root in his skin, and a small bud emerged. Over those days, Xu Zheyi had developed some bad habits. If he was thirsty, he only had to say as much and a drink would immediately be delivered to his hand. When he left his dirty clothes piled on the floor, they would be folded neatly and placed on his bed the next day¡ªthe fresh scent of fabric softener lingering in the air. This was so wrong, how could Xu Zheyi not know that? Even though Ruka was so loathsome, compared to when they first met he had already reduced his murderous air and was actually quite gentle. It was like the Ruka then, compared to now, was from another planet. Every time Ruka treated him well, Xu Zheyi felt very guilty. He felt like a lowly man in a drama who was wantonly playing with another man¡¯s sincere feelings. It would be best for Ruka if he did not return. This simple coming and going made Ruka radiant with happiness. On one particular night, he leaned against the door frame and watched as Xu Zheyi chopped vegetables. He was in quite a good mood, and pretended to inadvertently ask, ¡°Hey, when is your birthday?¡± Xu Zheyi¡¯s actions paused for a full three seconds, then the cold sweat began to fall down his body. This was a very bad topic; when a person began to mention birthdays, anniversaries, or festivals, it was clear that the other party would make some sort of plan for that day. ¡°Oh, I usually don¡¯t do anything for birthdays,¡± said Xu Zheyi with his back to Ruka, pretending he was uninterested. The other man persevered in his questioning, ¡°Isn¡¯t it this month?¡± Ruka¡¯s accurate guess caused Xu Zheyi¡¯s cutting hand to slip. His mind went into overdrive trying to find a way to put Ruka off of the topic, but fortunately a small bark saved him. He turned his head slightly and watched as Ruka picked up the small white dog that had rushed into the kitchen and hugged it in his arms. The small white ball was raised very well. Its hair was fluffy and white, and its whole body was chubby. When the puppy first arrived, Xu Zheyi posted an adoption request on the Internet. There were even many people who expressed their desire to adopt it. However, Ruka would happen to be behind Xu Zheyi every time he contacted the other party to determine if they were an appropriate fit over the phone. Each time, Ruka would casually mention news about individuals that adopted and then slaughtered innocent puppies and kittens. Xu Zheyi¡¯s thoughts were in a whirl, and he finally chose to leave things as they were. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you give it a name?¡± Ruka¡¯s attention was quickly diverted after he asked, but Xu Zheyi still found it difficult to answer. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a fine time and a lucky day1 to name it,¡± he answered casually, but he knew very well that he had no intention of naming it. He was so familiar with the chain of events that would follow that he could write the soap opera script himself. After naming the dog, it would be like they were the dog¡¯s parents. At that point, the two parties were already ¡®paired together¡¯, so then one side would just have pick out a good day to make their confession. The cute little dog could even act as a helper by delivering a small basket filled with paper notes and the like. Xu Zheyi believed that his birthday was the day Ruka would do something like that! The more he cut his radish, the heavier his heart felt. After giving it some thought, he tentatively asked, ¡°Do your parents have any opinions of you appearing in GVs?¡± ¡°I have only my father in my family,¡± Ruka replied indifferently. ¡°So¡­¡± said Xu Zheyi, thinking of his terrible luck; the atmosphere after his first question was not so good. When he thought about it, although Ruka had spent so much time in his home, the two of them had never had a good talk. Most of their conversation was ¡°Cut him down quick! Laozi will make you pay with blood2,¡± or, ¡°Hey, can you make that dish that¡¯s on TV?¡± They never discussed anything of meaning. He did not even know Ruka¡¯s full name. ¡°But my dad likes my AVs,¡± mentioned Ruka. Xu Zheyi¡¯s hands trembled, ¡°Your father saw your AV?¡± ¡°Of course, sometimes he guides me on various positions.¡± ¡­Stay calm, Xu Zheyi told himself, right now the most important thing was to lead their conversation back to the right path. ¡°So your dad should have a problem with you filming with a guy this time?¡± Although asked the question in an impartial tone, Xu Zheyi blushed about the fact that he was Ruka¡¯s partner in all of that. ¡°Why should he have an opinion like that? He lives with a man himself,¡± Ruka answered dismissively. Xu Zheyi was so surprised that he completely stopped cutting the radish. He restrained himself from the urge to explore that bit of gossip, maintained a calm tone, and asked, ¡°Then don¡¯t you find it strange? Isn¡¯t it better to hold a woman¡¯s body than a man¡¯s?¡± Ruka froze for a moment and then gave Xu Zheyi a profound look. He stooped down to place the little white ball that was struggling in his arms on the ground, determined that the little guy ran away happily, and walked slowly to Xu Zheyi¡¯s side. ¡°Jealous?¡± He deliberately asked provocatively, but the smile on his face was a little silly. Xu Zheyi was too late to refute before Ruka continued, ¡°That kind of thing doesn¡¯t matter to me. I will not hold anyone else anymore.¡± Xu Zheyi finally brought down the knife he was still holding¡ªright onto his own finger. Although wound was not very deep, the blood still flowed out. The two men looked at each other for a moment, then glanced down at Xu Zheyi¡¯s finger. They both thought of the stereotypical plot device that was used to stop any bleeding. Xu Zheyi stared at Ruka as he slowly leaned over and quickly pushed his index finger into his own mouth. Ruka clicked his tongue, making no effort to conceal his disappointment. Why are they both so cute? Also, hope you like the new site layout. I have been wanting to change it for a while, but also desired to keep it easy on the eyes. I finally broke down and did it. Chapter 24 Screen Partner Chapter 24 On the day of his birthday, Xu Zheyi was on high alert. He took the little ball of fur out for a morning walk. The puppy probably did not know very much about the world; everything was new and exciting. He was running all over the place, rubbing against things and sniffing different areas. Compared to its lively behaviour, Xu Zheyi felt like a pool of stagnant water. He looked for a pet-friendly caf¨¦ to sit down in, opened a newspaper he had brought along, and flipped to the entertainment pages. This was a habit of his that the years had not managed to change. As expected, his name did not appear anywhere within those pages. To say Xu Zheyi was not lonely was impossible. His birthday had been so lively in the past few years. During the daytime he held a party event for fans, and then in the evening he would have plans to get together with his friends and celebrate into the night. Reporters would often show up, and he would usually appear in the tabloids soon afterwards. Unfortunately, once he began to pick up low-grade film roles, the company cancelled the birthday party activities that included his fans. It was not long before his friends began alienating him, drawing away one by one. After he took the GV role, only a few people kept in contact, albeit sporadically. In the end, he only received a few cursory ¡®happy birthday¡¯ messages. He looked at the text messages, took some time to express his gratitude, then invited those few people out for dinner. He waited all afternoon for replies, only to receive refusals in the end. He had indeed invited a snub. It went as he anticipated, so he picked up his things and prepared to head home. It turned out that even Ruka didn¡¯t call him. That was not a surprise. After all, he did not tell the guy the actual date. Xu Zheyi allowed his mind to relax completely. He slowly walked down the road with the little puppy, and even stopped to buy the little one a cheesy dog treat. That caused the happy little fluff-ball to jump up excitedly on his leg. ¡°Little one, you¡¯ll have to serve this old man for his birthday today.¡± Xu Zheyi picked up the little furball and tucked him beneath his armpit. After walking until he was just a few steps from home, he suddenly stopped. The man he was complaining about just a moment ago stood in front of his door with a box of beer and a cake at his feet. He frowned impatiently when he saw him and asked, ¡°Just how long of a walk did you take?¡± **** Xu Zheyi¡¯s somewhat bitter thought was that if that scene had taken place in a daytime drama, that would probably be the moment the protagonist fell in love. Even so, he was truly struggling in his heart. It was as if a voice in one ear shouted, ¡°Run for it! Ruka came,¡± and another voice said with relief, ¡°Luckily he came.¡± He felt that he had seen the line. The line that was between him and Ruka. If he crossed over it, into Ruka¡¯s territory, the line would become a river. The further things develop between them, the more that river would gradually expand and spread, giving birth to a strait. His former life would be completely submerged, and disappear for good. I don¡¯t want to be gay. He silently recited those words in the bottom of his heart, opened his eyes and looked across the candle-light dancing up from his cake. The only one in front of his eyes was Ruka. Ruka¡¯s rigid facial muscles seemed incapable of portraying a gentle and soft look, but when he looked at him, Xu Zheyi still felt tenderness. He could not bring himself to quickly blow out the candles and cover everything with darkness. After the candles were extinguished and the lights were on again, Ruka pretended not to care and casually asked, ¡°What did you wish for?¡± Contrary to his easy tone, his eyes were glued on Xu Zheyi, never leaving the other man¡¯s back. ¡°Uh, world peace?¡± Ruka¡¯s expression was obviously one of defeat, then he frowned and asked, ¡°And¡­?¡± This time Xu Zheyi had no perfunctory answer prepared. ¡­This guy really likes me. As long as he looked at Ruka, his mind was full of those words. The two men looked at each other for a few seconds, then Ruka leaned over, and spoke in a somewhat whiny voice, ¡°I want to kiss you right now,¡± although his overall tone was still cheerful. Of course, Xu Zheyi wanted to refuse, but his protestations consisted of stuttered, insensible sounds, and those were swiftly sealed away by the other man¡¯s lips. Later on, Xu Zheyi recalled the next series of events. He was still not very clear exactly how things happened. He could not recall whether he threw himself into the other man¡¯s arms, or if he was half willing and half unwilling1. He could only remember that he stood in one spot, moving neither forward nor backward, and it was like the ground below his feet split open. He plunged down, instantly, into a deep and bottomless sea. He was completely dazed, unaware of how long the billowing waves pushed and rolled him along. During that time, he could just hear a faint voice flowing into his awareness, ¡°Hey¡­Xu Zheyi.¡± Everything went still, and Ruka clung to him from behind. He brushed his lips against Xu Zheyi¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°I like you.¡± Xu Zheyi opened his eyes. His hands were damp and sticky, and in them was the evidence of Ruka¡¯s climax. At that moment, it was like a large dandelion blooming on his palm. He dropped his arms to his side and allowed Ruka to hold him tighter. A nice short chapter. Although, I must say, I found it rather bittersweet and lonely. I did not expect to love this story so much when I picked it up. Chapter 25 Screen Partner Chapter 25 Xu Zheyi was caught in a dilemma. He could feel that, since that night, he and Ruka had been surrounded by a markedly different atmosphere. They still got along just as well as before, and they had not even changed their conversations, but the feeling was completely different. It was almost as if they had suddenly entered a new state of communication¡ªjust like husband and wife. Xu Zheyi was well aware that he had caused Ruka to have such a misunderstanding, because that night he did not refuse his confession. With regard to the reason why he did not reject him, Xu Zheyi did not fully understand his own feelings on the matter. Maybe that was because if he analyzed it carefully, he would be accused of ¡®using Ruka¡¯, and he was still unable to admit that he was such a tragic man. Ruka was really good to him. Such goodness was not carefully calculated or reserved, but rather awkward. It was as if Ruka wanted to take every good thing he could and place it in front if Xu Zheyi. However, for Xu Zheyi, this treatment was Ruka repaying a debt of kindness like a cat would. A cat would select the best of their most precious things and drag them to the people they wanted to repay. Unfortunately, they do not need these dead cockroaches and geckos1¡ªit was all just garbage. Xu Zheyi knew that the crux of the issue lay with himself. He could figure out the reason why 100 men and women associated, but he could not even think of one reason for the love between two men. He could not deny that he was very fond of Ruka, and even enjoyed having sex with him. However, was this feeling the ¡®love¡¯ that should exist between lovers? He was unable say so himself. The previous few days, he also seriously thought about what kind of method he could use to tactfully hint to Ruka that he no longer desired to have contact. He needed to make it clear that he did not want to associate with men. He thought of countless ways, but in the end he never implemented a single one. Xu Zheyi knew very well that if he did, he and Ruka may no longer be friends. They still had to work together to make more films, and if the relationship between them went sour it could affect filming. That would not benefit either of them. He persuaded himself with such an excuse, and conceived an escape. Once the films were finished, he would lay all his cards on the table for Ruka and then leave Taipei. From then on, the two men would separate completely. Xu Zheyi resolutely planned out this scheme, but his determination was shaken on that day. That night, after dinner, Ruka proposed that they should take the dog out for a walk. Xu Zheyi originally wanted to refuse, but the reality was that he and Ruka did not have much time off remaining before filming started up again. In addition, the image of Ruka holding that pudgy little furball and two sets of begging eyes staring up at him softened his heart, so he agreed. At night, pedestrians strolled down the road in twos and threes. Ruka wanted hold Xu Zheyi¡¯s hand, but Xu Zheyi quickly shoved his hand into his pocket. He forgot to consider that Ruka was not somebody who was easy to deal with2. The next second, Ruka¡¯s hand also followed and was placed inside Xu Zheyi¡¯s pocket. ¡°¡­ What are you doing?¡± Xu Zheyi managed to ask after being rendered momentarily speechless. Ruka calmly replied, ¡°My hands will get cold.¡± ¡­Utter nonsense. Xu Zheyi¡¯s hand that was in his pocket was swiftly enveloped by Ruka¡¯s large, warm hand. Within the next moment, Ruka frowned and asked, ¡°How is your hand so cold?¡± Xu Zheyi had no time to answer before Ruka¡¯s scarf was wrapped around his neck. ¡°¡­I thought you just said you were going to be cold? ¡°I only have cold hands,¡± quibbled Ruka with an expressionless face. Xu Zheyi ignored him completely. The two men walked a few steps before Xu Zheyi stopped and squatted down under the pretense of tying his shoelaces, thereby forcing Ruka¡¯s hand out of his pocket. Ruka was not too concerned, but instead asked him with great interest, ¡°Do you have anywhere in particular you want to go?¡± Xu Zheyi thought for a while before he answered, ¡°South Korea.¡± When filming came to an end, he wanted to fly to South Korea, bring some clothes back, and run a small clothing store. Opening a clothing store was still his dream. He did not want to give up simply because of the ruined relationship between he and Ming Ban. Xu Zheyi¡¯s answer seemed to be outside of Ruka¡¯s expectations. After a short pause, Ruka mused, ¡°This year is probably too late, so next year let¡¯s go together.¡± This sentence pressured Xu Zheyi into silence. Xu Zheyi realized at this time how much he had been mentally escaping from the situation. Ruka had already planned him into the blueprint of his future, but he thought only of how to get rid of him. Another short one, so I tried to get it done with quickly. The next chapter is a little bit longer. A little bit. Also, I find the lines at the end a little hard to see so I added two. Is that better? Was one ok? Does it matter? Chapter 26 Screen Partner Chapter 26 Xu Zheyi understood very well that he was now in a terrible state. He was trapped in an infinite cycle that went roughly like this: he realizes that Ruka is good to him ¡ú has a guilty conscience about it ¡ú looks for an opportunity to make clear his true feelings ¡ú decides that he will properly explain it next time, because he cannot bring himself to speak ¡ú and then, again, realizes that Ruka is good to him. If the number of times he went through the cycle was engraved on the wall, he would need to find a building the size of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to contain it all. 1200px-cks_panorama The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. In case you were curious. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek_Memorial_Hall For many reasons, he has been unable to stop the cycle. Xu Zheyi fully admitted to himself that he was a fucking coward. While he was in the midst of this period of burying his head in the sand like an ostrich, he received a phone call from Ah Li. The other party was quite straightforward when he said he was dumped and needed to drink. Xu Zheyi thought for a moment and felt that he also needed alcohol induced numbness, so the two whose thoughts were together from the first beat immediately met at the bar. ¡°Ah-Yi1, over here.¡± When he walked into the bar, Xu Zheyi did not look around carefully since he immediately saw the man waving him over. He did not know if it was due to the dim lighting in the bar, but Ah Li¡¯s face appeared a bit wan and sallow, even though in general he looked okay. He did not sound too bad when they spoke on the phone, but at that time he was still a little listless. ¡°Cheer up,¡± Xu Zheyi encouraged as he patted him on the shoulder from across the table. Ah Li only showed a reluctant smile and did not say anything more. The waiter showed up at this moment with the happy hour drink list, but the two men did not even take a look. With getting wasted as their aim, they ordered every cocktail from beginning to end and began to binge. After waiting until the two people were each three to four points intoxicated, Ah Li finally asked, ¡°Did you receive a copy of the film?¡± When Xu Zheyi thought about it, he knew that Ah Li must be referring to the DVD copy of their GV that was sent as a keepsake for their role. He had only glanced at it when he received it, barely registering the cover, before he stuffed it into the cupboard. ¡°Well, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°My girlfriend saw the film,¡± he answered with a wry smile, ¡°Actually, I should call her my ex-girlfriend, I guess. She broke up with me immediately and shared the film with all of my friends. I don¡¯t dare to contact my friends now.¡± Xu Zheyi did not know how to comfort Ah Li, so he chose to remain silent. He had also suffered the loss of his friends, and he could not completely handle it. He suspected that perhaps it was because of the lack of a friend¡¯s relationship that he had grown dependent on Ruka¡ªlike he was grasping at straws. They continued to down their drinks, one after another. Xu Zheyi listened quietly to Ah Li pour out his bitter sufferings, allowing him to vent his feelings. He listened to him curse his ex-girlfriend for being cruel and unscrupulous2, and his friends for being selfish and uncaring. ¡°Cheer up, it¡¯s not your fault,¡± Xu Zheyi said in an attempt to comfort Ah Li. Ah Li poured himself another drink, and then said quietly, ¡°That¡¯s right, I have not thanked you.¡± Xu Zheyi was unsure what Ah Li was referring to, so he continued to listen as Ah Li spoke up quickly, ¡°After the shoot, I learned that the pills were a Group B medication. At that time, if you hadn¡¯t lied and played that trick on me, I would never have been able to complete the scene.¡± ¡­Group B? Xu Zheyi frowned. Before he could decipher the meaning behind those words, Ah Li continued and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t it better with a man than a woman?¡± This sentence frightened Xu Zheyi so much that his tipsy feeling disappeared completely. He tried to remain calm and asked, ¡°Why are you asking me this question?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you been dating Ruka for a while now?¡± Ah Li answered thoughtlessly, then continued, ¡°At the wind-up party after we finished the first film, I hear someone say that you seemed to be a couple. It was my understanding that your relationship was what made the film so good.¡± ¡­Where did this terrible rumour originate? The veins on Xu Zheyi¡¯s forehead were bulging out to the point of exploding. He wanted to explain the truth, but after a quick drink Ah Li, completely unaware of the other man¡¯s mood, turned back to him and continued, ¡°Ah, I heard that Ming Ban is back.¡± Since the topic was jumping around too fast, Xu Zheyi could only manage,¡±Ming Ban?¡± ¡°Yes, I heard that he was dumped by his boyfriend after being cheated out of a lot of money. Not long after that, he got kicked out of Canada and had to come back to Taiwan. Anyway, it sounded pretty miserable,¡± Ah Li spoke quickly and then after a brief pause to think he continued, ¡°Oh yes, I heard he is your ex-boyfriend?¡± Xu Zheyi could no longer suppress the urge to kill someone. Fuming with rage, he narrowed his eyes at Ah Li and demanded, ¡°You¡¯d better tell me who told you all of that.¡± **** As a result, Ah Li, who was intoxicated, not only failed to name the informant, he even vomited on Xu Zheyi. That meant that Xu Zheyi was not only helpless to do anything, but he could only let go of his burning rage. Like any good guy would do, he ensured that the drunk was sent home properly before heading back to his own home. Perhaps it was owing to the formerly good relationship the two men had, Xu Zheyi did not need to seek out Ming Ban¡ªhe contacted Xu Zheyi on his own. The two men calmly decided to meet in a coffee shop over the phone like friends who were somewhat unfamiliar. Only Xu Zheyi knew how much he wanted to punch the other person. He had not seen Ming Ban for nearly three years, and his appearance had changed a great deal. In his memory, Ming Ban looked soft and lovely, and his smiles were very gentle and sweet. However, the Ming Ban that currently sat in front of him was just an ordinary man, thin and pale. Xu Zheyi did not know if he had exaggerated the Ming Ban in his memory, or if time had actually worn him down so heavily during that time. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to have changed,¡± commented Ming Ban as he watched Xu Zheyi take a seat. He smiled and passed him a menu, but Xu Zheyi deliberately avoided it. ¡°I can just order boiled water,¡± said Xu Zheyi, ¡°We have little to say to one another anyway.¡± His actions caused Ming Ban to pause, and then he let out a desolate laugh, ¡°Makes sense.¡± Xu Zheyi watched as he pulled out a thick paper bag from his handbag and placed it on the table in front of him. ¡°There is 200,000 here. It¡¯s what I can pay back you at the moment. After that, I will think of ways to return the rest to you in installments.¡± Xu Zheyi was stunned. He picked up the paper bag suspiciously and looked inside. It was indeed a large bundle of bills. He could not help sneering sarcastically, ¡°Since you have this money, why didn¡¯t you just send to me directly?¡± ¡°¡­Because I wanted to see you,¡± answered Ming Ban serenely. Xu Zheyi was disgusted with him and spoke coldly, ¡°You want to see how miserable I am now? You should have heard that, thanks to you, I have no money and friends. Do you realize what kind of film I had to make? My dick was hanging out for all to see¡ªI basically sold my ass! Are you satisfied with that?¡± The more Xu Zheyi said, the more he could not hold his voice back. He knew that everyone around them was staring, but he simply could not control himself. At that moment, he really wanted to punch Ming Ban. Ming Ban just sat with a white face and kept saying sorry, over and over. Xu Zheyi did not understand why he was so blind three years ago. Why did he believe the man in front of him? Why did he bear no suspicions towards him? ¡°I¡¯m sorry I used you,¡± Ming Ban lowered his head as he choked out the words, sobbing. His bowed posture suddenly made Xu Zheyi recall the past. When Ming Ban was embarrassed or guilty, he would hang his head down just like that. In the past, Xu Zheyi especially liked that action of his, because you could easily see his flushed ears. It was Xu Zheyi¡¯s weak point and always caused his heart to feel tender and soft. In those moments, it felt like no one could compare with Ming Ban. It was not until this moment that Xu Zheyi finally understood that, despite his stubborn denial, he really did love Ming Ban during that time. However, he did not have the courage to admit it. Ming Ban was probably more aware of those feelings than Xu Zheyi, and he also used those feelings to get what he wanted. Just like Xu Zheyi was doing to Ruka now. Another tough chapter. This one was a bit longer, but the next one is really short so I shouldn¡¯t take too long to get it out. Maybe. Chapter 27 Screen Partner Chapter 27 In Taipei, it often rained in the winter. On his way home, Xu Zheyi encountered a heavy rain. He was too lazy to buy a raincoat since he was riding the train all the way home. Ruka, who had been given the cold shoulder for two days, was waiting for him downstairs. He had a cold face and was surrounded by a murderous aura. When he saw Xu Zheyi drenched and in miserable condition, his countenance immediately darkened. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Ruka asked, his tone rather poor. Xu Zheyi did not speak a word. He bypassed Ruka and went directly upstairs. Ruka felt that something was amiss, so he frowned and followed him. Xu Zheyi did not evade him and even let him into the house. After a lonely day, the little furball was already waiting at the door. At first it scampered around Xu Zheyi¡¯s feet, and then rushed excitedly past and threw itself at Ruka. Ruka was immediately suckered in. When he finally managed to pick up and calm the puppy in his arms, he looked up and witnessed Xu Zheyi removing his clothes, piece by piece, in front of him. Ruka froze, his adam¡¯s apple bobbing up and down with a swallow he could not contain. He did not remove his line of sight that was directed at Xu Zheyi, watching until he removed his last piece of clothing. ¡°Do you want to do it?¡± Xu Zheyi asked. Ruka did not answer, but let go of the little furball and walked towards him. The corners of Xu Zheyi¡¯s mouth started to rise, but the next second his eyes suddenly turned upside down. His thoughts paused for three seconds before he realized that he had been thrown over Ruka¡¯s shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He immediately started struggling. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey¡­¡± ¡°Shut up, don¡¯t mess around,¡± Ruka snapped, then bullied him a bit by giving his butt a squeeze. It felt so good that he patted it again and complained, ¡°Aren¡¯t you too heavy?¡± Xu Zheyi was indignant after his various remarks and struggled further, causing Ruka difficulties with walking properly. After finally reaching the bathroom, Ruka could not wait to set his passenger down. His shoulder-joints were actually quite sore from his exercise activities. Dissatisfied, he asked ¡°Can¡¯t you have a little more appeal?¡± More appeal your mother! Xu Zheyi, filled with grief and indignation, tumbled down to the ground. Before he could shout out in pain, Ruka had grasped him by the neck and pushed him underneath the flow of the shower. Xu Zheyi was chilled by the sudden stream of cool water flowing over him. ¡°Does it feel good?¡± Ruka gloated. Xu Zheyi was angered by Ruka¡¯s series of actions. The guilt that he had accumulated for so long towards Ruka was completely gone. He watched as Ruka tossed out the small furball that was coming in and out of the bathroom, locked the door, and then slowly pulled off his clothes where he stood. He could not resist adding fuel to the fire, ¡°You¡¯re taking off your clothes now? After what you¡¯ve said this daddy won¡¯t allow it, get out1!¡± Ruka ignored his words and after a patronizing snort, he walked over¡ªcompletely naked. Ruka pressed against Xu Zheyi and pushed them both under the water that had finally warmed up, then ducked his head and kissed Xu Zheyi. Xu Zheyi really wanted to make a very strong refusal, or at least put up a bit of a struggle. He did not know why, but all of a sudden he felt that such a rejection was not necessary. The hot water streamed down their tangled bodies. It flowed between their clinging chests, and merged together like a river winding along the floor after leaving their slender legs. They kissed each other fiercely, and both cocks were held in each other¡¯s hands and gradually swelled up under their flurried movements. In a brief gap between kisses, Ruka complained to Xu Zheyi in disappointment, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you remove your hair? This stubble will stab me to death.¡± At these words, he reacted quickly and aggressively pinched the other man¡¯s member that was in his hand. He felt pleased with himself when he heard Ruka make a pained groan that he could not conceal. Of course, the other side¡¯s counterattack came quickly and violently. Xu Zheyi was done three times. Through the hazy remainder of his consciousness, he could just barely hear Ruka speaking as he complained, ¡°Next time you can¡¯t use the shower gel, we got bubbles everywhere.¡± Fool. He closed his eyes after that thought and then he was hugged from behind. The next morning, Xu Zheyi woke up wrapped in Ruka¡¯s arms. Ruka¡¯s body temperature was so high that it was just like a child. In summer that must be quite annoying, but because it was winter it made him feel warm and cozy. Xu Zheyi lay silently with eyes open and thought to himself. It seemed like a long time before the body behind him stirred, and it was likely he had woken up. ¡°Ruka?¡± He called out tentatively, feeling Ruka¡¯s embrace tighten in response, ¡°¡­Let¡¯s not see each other again.¡± He listened to every word he said, as if they were spoken by someone else. Due to their close proximity, Xu Zheyi could clearly feel Ruka stiffen up behind him. He waited for the other person to ask him why, because he could not initiate that conversation on his own. He was afraid that the next second he would be soft-hearted, and say something like ¡®hahaha I tricked you¡¯. He knew his own cowardice. Even the courage to say that sentence was a one time thing. After the words left his mouth, that bravery immediately disappeared. However, although he waited for a long time, Ruka never asked why. He just hugged him tightly and then dropped a kiss on the back of his neck. ¡°I will wait for you to think clearly,¡± Ruka finally said. Another shorter chapter. The good thing about this story is that it (usually) goes pretty quick with translating. Only four chapters remain!! Also, for interested parties, I¡¯m over halfway done with the next chapter of PUP Chapter 28 Screen Partner Chapter 28 After his screen partner Ruka left, it seemed like everything was going to be different. In the beginning Xu Zheyi could not say exactly where it was different. When he thought carefully, it seemed to be just some insignificant matters. For example, if he was thirsty, he had to go and pour some water himself. His clothes were no longer left clean and folded on his bed, smelling of fabric softener. It now felt as if he had too much unused furniture; like his house was empty. One day, when Xu Zheyi was in the supermarket to buy food, he filled up his whole basket. He did not come to his senses until he went to pay and realized that not only had he taken too much food, he had actually grabbed all of Ruka¡¯s favourites. Ruka had left his life, but all along he never left his world. Even now, Xu Zheyi did not know Ruka¡¯s real name. He knew that he liked spicy fried beef and hated all kinds of vegetables. He knew that after dinner Ruka had a habit of drinking a bowl of soup, when he slept he always held his partner very tightly, and that his mobile phone number was 0932XXXXXX. Xu Zheyi stared at Ruka¡¯s number on his phone once more, and felt like all the blood in his body rushed to his left hand that gripped his phone. He desperately wanted to hit call, and then talk with Ruka under the pretense of dialing the wrong number. Once his rationality returned a few seconds later, he would always withdraw his finger. He felt that such a move was meaningless. He wanted to hear the sound of Ruka¡¯s voice. He must not hear Ruka¡¯s voice. He tormented himself constantly with this conflict between emotional sentimentality and rationality. It was especially bad at night, to the point that he began to suffer from insomnia. At such times, he always remembered that morning when Ruka embraced him from behind and whispered gently, I will wait for you to think clearly. He did not even know what that meant, ¡®to think clearly¡¯. **** Ah Li was tortured for several days before he finally came to an epiphany: his old wounds could only be cured by new love. Xu Zheyi was summoned by him via phone, and decided to go out in an attempt to improve his mood. He even went so far as to adopt a new hairstyle. When he looked at himself in the mirror, it made him feel like a brand new person. When Ah Li saw him, he whistled in appreciation and joked, ¡°It looks like someone is killing it today.¡± Xu Zheyi answered his words with a punch to the shoulder. Ah Li seemed to be in good spirits, indicating that he probably had the determination to start a new life. Xu Zheyi asked him, ¡°What kind of partner are you looking for this time?¡± Ah Li thought about it and then replied, ¡°Someone who can live together with me.¡± Xu Zheyi smiled at his response, ¡°Then will you go to group dates, or attend marriage meetings1?¡± Ah Li answered, ¡°I have a multi-pronged approach.¡± Ah Li then listed his criteria for choosing a significant other, ¡°They should have a good face, an excellent body, keep a good house, and be a whiz in the kitchen. All this is regardless of gender.¡± When Xu Zheyi heard his last words, he almost spit out his mouthful of wine, and then heard Ah Li admit, ¡°I am afraid of women.¡± Those words suddenly reminded Xu Zheyi of Ming Ban. I am actually afraid of men. This sentence summed up the wound that Ming Ban had given him. He supposed that if he had never met Ming Ban, he may be able to calm down and simply think about whether he and Ruka were a good fit, rather than just blindly refusing to become gay. There was no easy answer to this dilemma for Xu Zheyi. In the end he followed Ah Li to a bar, and then before he could gain his bearings they had moved on to a nightclub. Xu Zheyi had not been to that kind of place for a long time. He chose to show restraint, and settled in to drink at the bar. Ah Li broke away from his ¡®dead fish¡¯ companion and disappeared into the crowd somewhere. It was not long before he walked back and put his arm around Xu Zheyi and dragged him into a private room off to the side. Xu Zheyi, who was being dragged along, was completely confused. He could only listen as Ah Li whispered an explanation in his ear. The room was occupied by a group of female graduate students who had come to celebrate a birthday. The birthday girl saw Xu Zheyi seated at the bar, looking lonesome, and took a fancy to him. ¡°It¡¯s too sad to shut yourself off from everyone,¡± Ah Li said as he gave him a thumbs-up and then he was kidnapped. The birthday girl was a beauty with a generous temperament. When she saw her target being unceremoniously deposited in front of her eyes, she immediately moved and sat next to Xu Zheyi. She reached her hand out to him, smiled and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ivy.¡± Xu Zheyi politely shook her hand, ¡°I am Ah-Zhe.¡± ¡°Wanna dance?¡± Ivy asked with a smile. ¡°Okay,¡± replied Xu Zheyi as he shrugged his shoulders. They wove their way through the crowd, came to the crowded dance floor, and then began moving to the rhythm of the music. Xu Zheyi put his hands on her waist and she reached up and put her hands on his shoulders. He could not deny that tonight he had gone out, more or less, with the intention of hunting. Strangely, now that someone had taken the initiative to approach him, he felt no enthusiasm whatsoever to follow through. He lowered his head and looked at Ivy under the flickering lights. In fact, in terms of appearance alone, this girl was exactly what he liked: long hair, big eyes, and a small frame. Despite that, he just felt that something was wrong. Especially now that they were virtually in eachother¡¯s arms. The thoughts he held the entire time were that her height was not right, her perfume smelled all wrong¡ªnothing was right. At this time, Xu Zheyi found that within his heart he probably had new ideal preferences in a partner. In order to meet his predilections, she obviously needed to be a little taller, and her perfume should be a little bit lighter¡­actually it was better not to wear any perfume. That way, when they hugged, he would be able to smell her body wash or her nice, natural scent. She, like him, would dislike going out and prefer to stay at home. They would play video games together, all the way to the end. She would like cleaning, always keeping the home neat, so that he did not have to worry about that kind of domestic business. She would spoil that little white furball like crazy and, no matter how windy or rainy the weather, she would volunteer to take it out for a walk. Meanwhile, Xu Zheyi would have dinner, as well as a steaming pot of soup, waiting for her to come home. At this point, Xu Zheyi could no longer avoid it; the resulting image was far too clear. It was just like he had tailored his ideals around a specific someone. ¡°Do you have a girlfriend?¡± In a quieter moment of music, he heard Ivy ask him that question. He froze, but stayed silent. Just when Ivy thought he would not answer, she heard him whisper, ¡°I have a boyfriend.¡± I have a boyfriend. Xu Zheyi never thought that he would say those four words in his entire life, but once he spoke, he felt that he was not as perturbed as he imagined. Instead, he was relieved. Although they were only four simple words, for him they were like Armstrong¡¯s first step on the moon. He mercilessly kicked through the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial outer wall, and stepped into an unknown new world. He did not know what the new world looked like, what colours it was, or how the seasons worked. None of those things were important. All he knew was that Ruka was there waiting for him, and as soon as he saw him he would wrinkle his eyebrows impatiently and demand, ¡°Why did you keep me waiting for so long?¡± **** When he arrived back at home that night, Xu Zheyi lay down in bed and sent a text to Ruka: Hey, what¡¯s your real name? The other person did not respond immediately, but about five minutes later he answered: Luka. Xu Zheyi was happy and quickly asked another question: birthday? April 8. Height£¿ 188 cm2. Blood type£¿ ¡­¡­. Ruka finally grew impatient, called Xu Zheyi, and demanded, ¡°Do you moonlight as a telemarketer doing phone surveys?¡± Xu Zheyi could not help laughing. That night they talked very late, chatting all the way until eight in the morning. They continued until both sides had a weary spirit and had exhausted their strength¡ªthey were out of ammunition with no hope for reinforcements. The two men were not very talkative people. Especially on mobile phones, it was difficult to prattle on idly about their day. Their conversation topics were somewhat boring, but neither of the two men wanted to hang up the phone first. At the end of their conversation, Xu Zheyi thought Ruka would finally ask him, are you thinking clearly? However, all Ruka said was, ¡°See you tomorrow.¡± If I¡¯m not mistaken, the next few chapters are quite a bit longer. This one was already longer than the last few at least. AND! Our boy finally came to a decision!! Also, I¡¯m pretty sure this author watched a documentary on the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial while writing this novel since it was referenced twice in quick succession. Chapter 29 Screen Partner Chapter 29 Tomorrow, the cast and crew would travel to Japan for the second film. Xu Zheyi heard from the executive producer that their first film was quite popular in Japan. Only three weeks after it launched, the total sales had rocketed the film to third place overall in the ¡®boyfriend¡¯ series of GV¡ªthis was quite promising. After the filmmakers held a meeting, they decided to move the second filming period forward. They planned to go with the theme of ¡®Taiwanese Lovers go Sightseeing in Japan¡¯. Xu Zheyi read through the script. Perhaps because it was hastily written, the plot was not as rich as the previous film. The general content was that the two couples would visit an amusement park together, ride the ferris wheel, finish the evening viewing the Tokyo Bay area at night, and then the next day would be the bed play. To his great relief, even though the two couples were filming together in Tokyo, the script did not require the four of them to film their bed scenes together. That was incredibly embarrassing for him, so he wanted to kowtow1 before the writers to thank them for their mercy. On the night before the departure, Xu Zheyi once again experienced insomnia. There was a big difference in the cause of his insomnia this time. In his mind he kept mulling over Ruka¡¯s final goodbye to him on the phone, ¡®See you tomorrow¡¯. They had not seen each other for two weeks, so in order to prevent himself from looking too haggard, Xu Zheyi even climbed out of bed and applied a rejuvenating mask. If this had been in the past, he probably would have tried to look more like a ghost in order to frighten Ruka away. However, once a person realizes their feelings, they always make an effort to show their good side to the other person. That type of behaviour must be inherent to human nature. The next morning, Xu Zheyi was the first to arrive at the airport, followed by Ah Li. After those two, the remainder of the crew showed up one by one. When Ah Li first saw Xu Zheyi he wanted to bemoan that the other had broken the code of brotherhood and abandoned him the day before yesterday. He asked in a whisper, ¡°Ivy was complaining to me and said you told her you have a boyfriend. Are you really going out with Ruka?¡± Xu Zheyi¡¯s face revealed that he was thoroughly embarrassed, he choked a bit, then uttered, ¡°Probably.¡± He was actually unclear about what was going on between him and Ruka. It seemed that while he was still distressed about how two men could fall in love, their relationship had already begun to develop in that direction. When it came to whether or not they had a genuine relationship, it seemed that he had yet to respond to Ruka. ¡°What happened to you that day after I left?¡± Xu Zheyi questioned, sharply turning the focus of the conversation back to Ah Li. Ah Li smiled wryly, ¡°Nothing, now I can only entrust my love to a sakura girl2.¡± Xu Zheyi patted his shoulder in sympathy, then looked into the distance at the approaching Xiang. ¡°He somehow seems a bit pretty,¡± commented Ah Li. All he got from Xiang was a middle finger. Ruka was the last one to arrive. His new haircut showed off his face and made him look very handsome. He looked like he had lost some weight and the sharpness of his features was more obvious. When Xu Zheyi saw Ruka, his heart started to race, his mouth went dry, and breathing suddenly became more difficult. Despite that, he calmly raised his right hand, smiled and greeted, ¡°Hi.¡± Ruka looked at him for a few seconds, took off his sunglasses for a moment, and faintly replied, ¡°En.¡± After their greetings, the two men stood silently and did not say a word. Neither of them made a move. They stood still, gazing at one another, as if the whole world had rapidly shrunk in that moment and it only contained the two of them. They immediately created a sappy atmosphere that led Xiang to scoff at them, sickened. At that moment the executive producer, translator, and temporary videographer walked in. The executive producer loudly clapped and urged everyone to quickly start heading through customs. It was not long until they boarded the plane. Xu Zheyi did not know if it was his imagination, but he got the feeling that every time he looked for Ruka in order to speak, the executive producer would suddenly cut in between them. Whether it was during the security check, while they waited to board, and even when he used the toilet the executive producer just so happened to be in the stall beside him. That situation finally ended when they were seated on the plane. Xu Zheyi and Ruka acted in accordance with the script and professionally acted like a pair of sweethearts excited to go on a trip while the videographer filmed with a handheld camera. After they had produced a satisfactory shot, the filming moved onto Xiang and Ah Li. Xu Zheyi took the opportunity and immediately whispered to Ruka conspiratorially, ¡°Do you think he¡¯s been watching us?¡± ¡°Maybe he¡¯s afraid of us suddenly getting up and doing it,¡± answered Ruka, like it was nothing. Xu Zheyi was shocked, ¡°Getting up and doing it?¡± ¡°Well, I got hard the moment I saw you.¡± Xu Zheyi was shocked beyond words and could only stare, wide-eyed, at the completely unruffled Ruka. Ruka mistakenly thought he did not believe him, and asked provocatively, ¡°Shall I prove it?¡± ¡­Why do you need to prove it? All of the blood flowed to Xu Zheyi¡¯s face and he was steaming hot enough to whistle like a tea kettle. Watching as the other man¡¯s face turned such a brilliant crimson it seemed as if his ears would bleed, Ruka finally raised the corners of his mouth. It was his first smile in two weeks. ¡°Is the little one at home?¡± Ruka asked, changing the subject. That question was entirely within the ¡®safe topics¡¯ zone for Xu Zheyi. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied, ¡°In the Pet shop. I also bought a few packs of snacks, and reminded the clerk to feed it on time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s going to be fat again.¡± ¡°Being fat doesn¡¯t matter, anyway, in winter it will be good to hug ah¡­¡± In the midst of this idle gossip revolving around the daily life of a family, the plane took off smoothly. It was not long before Xu Zheyi felt his eyelids growing heavy. It was as if the moment he closed his eyes he would tumble into a deep slumber. Ruka noticed his condition and generously offered up his shoulder, ¡°You can lay on me.¡± On the one hand, Xu Zheyi thought, who wants that¡ªI¡¯m not a woman, while on the other hand he subconsciously eyed Ruka¡¯s shoulder and felt that it did look quite comfortable. In the end he gave in and rested his head there. Ruka¡¯s shoulder was very solid and he could smell a faint hint of fabric softener. Xu Zheyi was not sure why, but he immediately felt at ease. He closed his eyes and his consciousness slipped away almost instantly. Through the haze of his awareness, he felt a light touch on his forehead. He wondered what it was, and after a few seconds he realized that it was probably Ruka¡¯s lips. Xu Zheyi suddenly woke up and the muscles in his body reflexively stiffened. He thought that Ruka would not prove it to him at this time? Even though he waited and waited, from beginning to end Ruka never took the next step. He peeked over at Ruka and the other was motionless, as if he was asleep. He laid his head back on Ruka¡¯s shoulder, but this time his heart was itching. He wanted to somehow relieve that itchy feeling, but there was no way. He tried to fall asleep again, but this time it was much more difficult. His nose was filled with Ruka¡¯s scent and he could feel the comforting temperature of his body through the other man¡¯s clothing. He was unable to control his own thoughts after Ruka¡¯s words from before. He said he got hard as soon as he saw me. It was probably the first time that Xu Zheyi felt like a sex maniac. He had only leaned on a man¡¯s body and his lower half was already so hard it was painful. If I had known earlier, I would not have worn jeans, he thought with regret. Ironically, he had the same thoughts as the one who was pretending to sleep beside him. Ruka imperceptibly frowned behind his sunglasses. The sensation of his spirited little Ruka straining against the denim fabric of his jeans was terribly uncomfortable. If I had known it would be like this, I would have dealt with it directly in the bathroom. Who cares whether or not the executive producer was in there, he thought with chagrin. Finally, after a long and difficult flight for two passengers in particular, the plane touched down safely in Tokyo. I super loved this chapter for some reason. Next chapter is quite a bit longer. I am both delighted and a bit sad that this one is wrapping up. Chapter 30 Screen Partner Chapter 30 Almost immediately, once the five of them entered the arrival hall, they were caught up in a whirlwind and dragged into a van by the staff. Without a delay they drove all the way to Odaiba. ¡°Is this a kidnapping?¡± Xu Zheyi asked, dumbstruck, as he was handed a bento lunch by a staff member. ¡°I¡¯d rather this was a kidnapping,¡± Ah Li lamented. The thought of filming again was depressing, and he was already looking very downcast. Xu Zheyi patted his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him1. Until now, Xu Zheyi could not determine whether the pills he was given were placebos2 or not. More than likely, he had probably determined deep down that the drug was not actually effective, but he would rather die than acknowledge that fact. Men¡¯s genitals always seemed to be more honest than their brains. He could not stop himself from glancing at Ruka, but then he quickly turned back. After a few seconds, he was once again unable to resist the urge, and turned to look at him again. Xu Zheyi did not know what he was doing, he just suddenly wanted to see him. Xu Zheyi had to admit that after he realized he liked Ruka, the hormones within his body multiplied madly and increased exponentially. He felt somewhat effeminate, yet erotic. He did not even recognize himself. Since it was winter, night fell early. Even though it was only seven o¡¯clock when they arrived at their destination, the sky was already dyed black. Xu Zheyi gazed at the night scene in front of him. In the darkness, Tokyo Bay looked like a black mirror, perfectly reflecting the jewel-crowned Rainbow Bridge. rainbow_colored_rainbow_bridge_at_night In spite of the cold wind blowing against his forehead, this night scene was worth a look. Following the script¡¯s instructions, he and Ruka first greeted the audience in simple Japanese before the camera, then expressed their feelings of excitement and happiness in Chinese. They were simply documenting the course of events on film. They slowly walked to the platform that housed the famous Bell of Happiness in Odaiba3. The two men hit the bell at the same time, and then stopped filming there. The next scene they had to shoot was when they rode the ferris wheel. Xu Zheyi was not sure if it was because it was a weekday, but there were not many people on the road. Xu Zheyi and Ruka walked shoulder-to-shoulder; there was no other point of contact. Even so, the feeling that came through Xu Zheyi¡¯s layers, that included a thick down coat, caused him to feel itchy once again. In this ambiguous and delicate atmosphere, he heard Ruka ask him, ¡°Why did you look at me just a moment ago?¡± Although he was clearly asking a question, Ruka¡¯s assured tone of voice made him seem faintly pleased with himself. Xu Zheyi was a fairly duplicitous person. He was irritated and wanted to retort, but in the next second he heard Ruka ask, ¡°Do you know what it makes me think about every time you look at me that way?¡± Xu Zheyi was absolutely certain that he would not hear anything good following that question, but he could not help asking, ¡°What?¡± Ruka revealed a satisfied smile and spoke indifferently, ¡°I think if you look at me like that again, I will grab you and push you down in a chair, shove my hand inside your underwear, and firmly grip your¡ª¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Xu Zheyi was completely humiliated by Ruka¡¯s shamelessness. On the one hand, the staff members were glad they were getting along, while on the other hand they were a bit taken aback by the sharp reaction. Ruka smiled more openly this time, and teased naughtily, ¡°If you want me to shut up, then you have to find a way to make me.¡± They stopped when the director indicated and stood beneath the white arches. Above their heads was the Bell of Happiness with its white pull rope hanging down behind them. The Statue of Liberty was holding her torch high, and the Rainbow Bridge spanned across the Tokyo Bay; it truly set a romantic atmosphere for a date. replique-de-tokyo1 Despite this lovely atmosphere, Ruka still leaned in and said, ¡°I want to hold you down and then use my mouth¡­¡± Xu Zheyi could not bear his suggestive words any longer. He grabbed Ruka¡¯s scarf and dragged him in close, silencing him with a kiss. Initially he used too much force and the two men knocked teeth. They did not know whose mouth was a bit injured, but their kiss was flavoured with the sharp taste of blood. However, once the long-separated lips and tongue were finally joined together, both men were like fish that had been away from the water too long. It seemed that only the chance for survival could be found between the lips of the other party. Ruka firmly held Xu Zheyi by the waist. Due to their posture, the two peoples¡¯ lower bodies were pressed together tightly. Although it was through the thick jeans they both wore, they could still feel each other¡¯s desire flourishing. Under silent instructions from the director, the videographer slowly zoomed in on them with the camera. On the screen, the picture panned down from the bronze bell that symbolized happiness and finished the shot focused on the lovers kissing passionately below. At this time, Ruka ended their kiss. He noticed the peeping lens, smiled faintly, and then said something Xu Zheyi did not understand in Japanese. After the film was officially released, there were a vast number of rotten men and women that screenshotted that moment with Chinese subtitles, added various little designs, and used it in their signatures on various social media websites. That was popular for quite a while. Although Xu Zheyi did not understand his words, at that moment he was still in a daze and blushing. All he remembered was that Ruka held him tightly and whispered in his ear as they looked towards the camera, ¡°He¡¯s mine.¡± **** Later, on the ferris wheel, although there was an amazing view of Tokyo Bay below them, Xu Zheyi had very little impression of how it looked. All he remembered was that he and Ruka were both holding back until they climbed into the ferris wheel car, and then started kissing. It was like the sky and the earth were turning upside down. They later heard from Ah Li that their ¡®fierce battle¡¯ at that time caused many good-hearted people to approach the service personnel to ask whether that rocking car really was not a problem? Xu Zheyi was extremely embarrassed about it, but Ruka was completely unconcerned. Xu Zheyi could not help lamenting that in this land under heaven, that man¡¯s shamelessness was unrivalled. After the filming, they followed the staff back to the hotel and got ready to rest up for the full-day itinerary of filming that awaited them the next day. After witnessing the sparks flying between Xu Zheyi and Ruka all day, the excessively dedicated executive producer continued to follow the two men like goldfish poop4. He kept the two people, who obviously wanted to find an opportunity to sneak out, separated, and escorted them back one-by-one to their assigned rooms like a nanny. ¡°Ah-Zhe and Xiang, your room is here,¡± barked the executive producer as he handed the key card to Xiang, and then earnestly advised the man, ¡°At night, if there is a knock, you must call me first before opening it. Don¡¯t allow anyone into the room¡ªespecially Ruka. Don¡¯t let him be alone with Ah-Zhe.¡± He looked back and forth between Xu Zheyi and Ruka as if they had failed to live up to his expectations and he was impatient to see improvements. While he dragged Ruka further down the hall, he could not help complaining, ¡°It¡¯s only eight hours until we shoot, can¡¯t you just save a bit of energy?¡± Xu Zheyi was confused by those words, so he turned his head to ask Xiang, ¡°Doesn¡¯t the filming start tomorrow at ten o¡¯clock?¡± The time was currently about 12 o¡¯clock. No matter how the calculations were done, the shooting time should be in ten hours. There was no way it should be eight hours. Xiang paused for a moment as he was reaching out to open their door with the key card. He turned his head in surprise and asked, ¡°Ruka didn¡¯t tell you?¡± When Xu Zheyi heard the ¡®he didn¡¯t tell you¡¯ sentence come up, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Fortunately Xiang felt no need to keep his listener in suspense. Once he had dropped his luggage on the room floor, he sat down on the bed. ¡°The script we¡¯re using now is the second edition because Ruka was unwilling to accept the first edition of the script,¡± explained Xiang lightly, ¡°In the first edition of the script, the four of us were supposed to exchange partners.¡± Once those words came out, Xu Zheyi fully understood the reason why Ruka refused. He took a deep breath, then asked, ¡°What conditions did he accept from the filmmakers in exchange for that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not too ridiculous, they¡¯ll just film a short video of him masturbating,¡± answered Xiang, licking his lips. ¡°After the launch of the last film, Ruka gained many male fans and lot of them are tops. They specifically wrote to the company asking to see him do some solo play.¡± Xu Zheyi could not help but frown when he heard that. Of course he knew what kind of film he was filming and what the audience was looking for. He thought he had already mentally prepared himself, but now he realized that the preparation was insufficient. He could endure others fantasizing about himself, but he could not stand the thought of other people fantasizing about Ruka. Perhaps Ruka felt the same way, and that was why he agreed to such a proposal. ¡°Don¡¯t over think it too much, the situation is all happy now.¡± Perhaps because Xu Zheyi¡¯s face was so ugly, Xiang actually offered two sentences of encouragement. Later that night, although Xu Zheyi tossed and turned, he could not sleep. He took out his cellphone and looked at Ruka¡¯s number for a while, and then typed a character simulating the middle finger gesture. Then he seriously really sent a ¡°Í¹¡± over by accident. As a result, within less than 30 seconds Ruka called over, ¡°Miss me?¡± The other guy sounded very proud and his tone of voice lifted up blissfully by the end. Hiding in the toilet to answer the phone, Xu Zheyi originally wanted to retort with an ¡°I miss your Mother.¡± In the end spoke honestly and replied with a simple, ¡°En.¡± Neither of the two men spoke for quite some time. There were too many words that needed to be said, but thinking carefully, there was nothing to talk about. Neither man opened his mouth. They both wanted to listen to the other¡¯s voice, and did not think that the other side would not speak. Xu Zheyi thought for half the day about how to ask Ruka about tomorrow morning¡¯s shoot. However, when he opened his mouth to ask, Ruka spoke up, ¡°When you go back home you need to choose a name for that little white furball.¡± When Xu Zheyi failed to reply, Ruka added ¡± I only insist that its name should come from the parents¡¯ names.¡± Xu Zheyi was so angry that his teeth were itching. After hanging up the phone, Xu Zheyi still could not sleep. He just sat down on the toilet mat and then typed out and sent a message to the executive producer. The message was not long, just one sentence that said: Which room is Ruka shooting in tomorrow at eight o¡¯clock? OMG. Omg. It¡¯s almost done. I need your opnions. If you comment, please weigh in on something for me. The last chapter is exceedingly long, and even though the author left it as one full chapter, there is a spot where you can see it¡¯s like it was broken down to part one and two. Would you prefer me to put it out as one (longer wait for full), or in two parts (slight cliffie, get first half sooner)? Chapter 31(End) Screen Partner Chapter 31(end) Xu Zheyi mulled over the situation in his mind all night, then finally decided that in order to catch the thief, he first had to capture the king. He left the room early in the morning and headed downstairs to the hotel lobby to keep watch. Their director was the same one who was involved in the shoot in Taiwan, and he was immediately blocked by Xu Zheyi. At that time, he could not help but use his awkward Chinese to make a joke, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t accept the unspoken rules1.¡± Looking at him boldly, Xu Zheyi cut straight to the point, ¡°Director, wait a minute. For Ruka¡¯s shoot, can I¡­¡± ¡°Can¡¯t, ¡± the director rebuffed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, even you can¡¯t sit on the sidelines.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to sit on the sidelines,¡± Xu Zheyi quickly explained, ¡°I¡¯m going to lend a hand¡­¡± ¡°There have been so many people volunteering to help Ruka recently. Some of them are even willing to pay for it. If we¡­¡± the director frowned and his face showed a puzzled expression, ¡°I don¡¯t understand how that boy has so much charm.¡± ¡­Yeah, I don¡¯t know either. Xu Zheyi gnashed his teeth in frustration, then continued his efforts to lobby the director, ¡°But director, I¡¯m not like those people.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the difference?¡± The director asked, perfunctorily, and entered the elevator that had just arrived. Xu Zheyi quickly followed him and displayed a flattering smile. ¡°I¡¯m the only one on the cover of the film. No one else can claim that.¡± At that time, the director finally looked at him with mild interest, rubbed his smooth chin, and said,¡±Go on then.¡± As soon as Xu Zheyi stepped into the room, he immediately saw Ruka in there, wearing only a bathrobe. Although everyone in the background was very busy, he merely sat on the bed like an arrogant idler. He was still bleary-eyed as he bit into a sandwich. In the end it was not clear if he had actually woken up. Nevertheless, Xu Zheyi actually found his somewhat foolish behaviour quite cute. It was possible that there was no cure for his sickness. ¡°Hey, give me a bite,¡± demanded Xu Zheyi as he leaned over and squeezed in beside Ruka. Ruka stared at him for two seconds before he said, ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong shooting time.¡± ¡°Do I? What are you doing here?¡± Xu Zheyi gave a frustrated snort, then vented his anger by aggressively biting Ruka¡¯s sandwich. At this point, Ruka¡¯s face gave the game away, clearly showing that he had a guilty conscience. Xu Zheyi took advantage of that to pursue and attack, and asked him, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± ¡°¡­I forgot,¡± Ruka answered lightly. Xu Zheyi was so angered by this answer that his teeth were itching, and then he had to listen as Ruka continued, ¡°Anyways, this is nothing.¡± This time, Xu Zheyi felt like he wanted to throttle the other man for a moment. Ruka was aware that Xu Zheyi was unhappy based on his silence, but he was a rookie at love and could not bring himself to spout any false platitudes. He shoved the sandwich into Xu Zheyi¡¯s mouth like it was a plug and made Xu Zheyi appear ridiculous. Finally, pretending to be evil, he said, ¡°You wait for I, your father.¡± Ruka was fond of seeing that frustrated look on Xu Zheyi¡¯s face, and put on an expression that implied that there was nothing to be done. A quick look at the corners of his mouth would reveal that he was fighting to hold back a smile. He reached out his hand to pull over Xu Zheyi¡¯s chin for a kiss, but was caught before he could accomplish it. ¡°What kind of ring are you wearing? Tsundere2,¡± Xu Zheyi carefully looked at the stylish men¡¯s ring on Ruka¡¯s left index finger, asking the question despite the food in his mouth. ¡°They want me to wear it because apparently it will look good in the shoot,¡± explained Ruka unenthusiastically. Xu Zheyi thought if over for a bit and sunk into a super-bad mood. Since Ruka¡¯s erection leaned slightly to the left, he habitually used his left hand when he masturbated. The producer probably figured this out, so they had Ruka put the ring on the left hand. Regardless of whether the ring¡¯s presence was at all related to product placement, Xu Zheyi could only imagine how it would appear in a close-up. Just the thought of Ruka¡¯s fingers, one wearing an eye-catching ring, wrapped around the hard, straight shaft, sliding up and down, was enough to give anyone a nosebleed. Damn, Xu Zheyi thought, in the end just how many people are lusting after my boyfriend¡¯s body? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll remember to take the ring off when I help you stretch out,¡± Ruka assured him considerately, thinking that he was worried about an injury. ¡°¡­Oh, thank you,¡± Xu Zheyi said helplessly. As the start of the shoot approached, Ruka still did not understand why Xu Zheyi was there. The director did not bother to explain anything, tossed out the sentence, ¡°Coordinate with your boyfriend,¡± then turned to find the videographer. Ruka clearly perked up the second the word ¡®boyfriend¡¯ was used. He lay down on the bed on one side, propping his head up on one hand. He looked at Xu Zheyi, who had been asked to take off his pants, then lazily asked, ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± His posture caused the robe¡¯s flap to open, revealing a strong and muscular chest¡ªthe man¡¯s whole body was damn sexy. On the one hand, Xu Zheyi inwardly cursed Ruka¡¯s fickleness, but on the other hand he could not help leaning in and planting a kiss on the other man¡¯s lips. Presumably because they had already kissed too many times in front of the camera, Xu Zheyi relaxed his vigilance. It was only after the kiss was finished that he realized that, at some point, the camera had been focused on them and started filming. When the director noticed that Xu Zheyi had turned his line of sight in that direction, he mimed a quick ¡®continue¡¯ gesture. Without any better options, Xu Zheyi had to brace himself and strip off Ruka¡¯s robe. From top to bottom, the film company had clearly put more effort into Ruka¡¯s appearance this time. Xu Zheyi looked down at the Gregg Homme low waisted, cross type underwear and suddenly felt the saliva in his body rushing out like crazy. Ruka¡¯s healthy chocolate complexion was very tempting and the style of the tight white underwear made him look even more tantalizing. The underwear had a thick red elastic waistband around the whole top. In the middle on the front, the red crisscrossed and went down to form an ¡®x¡¯ shape with white inside. It was as if the purpose of that section of white cloth wrapped in red was to draw the eyes to shape of his dick. 87305-white2-600¡Á600 I sacrificed my innocence to find the correct ones (who knew they would be real??). It was truly an agonizing search. Truly. Perhaps, as a result of their earlier kiss, Ruka¡¯s penis was already half hard. As if it was a chain reaction, Xu Zheyi felt his lower abdomen heat up. ¡°Well, lie down,¡± he said, pleased to see Ruka obediently follow his order. Xu Zheyi proceeded to squeeze the lubricating gel on Ruka¡¯s chest. Because the lubricant was fairly cool, it stimulated Ruka¡¯s chest muscles to flex. Xu Zheyi shot a glance at the videographer who had fully concentrated his attention on Ruka¡¯s body and thought to himself: you¡¯re allowed to look, but only I, your father, gets to partake. When he thought that, his mood improved considerably. He slowly used his hands to trace a path from Ruka¡¯s uplifted chest down to his hips and then followed the same path back up to where he started from, shamelessly eating his tofu3. Ruka¡¯s skin was smooth, he had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs; his build was incredibly good. Xu Zheyi could feel the muscles rippling beneath his hands and his heart was filled with depression and jealousy. He could not help massaging Ruka¡¯s chest muscles a few times, and the moment he did that he heard Ruka¡¯s breathing hitch. His obvious reaction pleased Xu Zheyi, who always lost his dominance and ended up muddle-headed in bed. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Does it feel good there?¡± He could not wait another moment and rubbed Ruka¡¯s nipple with his finger, repeatedly rubbing it until it was stiff and upright. At first Ruka laid there like a corpse for Xu Zheyi to play with, but he grew more and more distracted by his lower body that had continued to rise up. He could not help pulling Xu Zheyi¡¯s hand down and pressing it against his bulge. ¡°Touch me,¡± Ruka begged softly. Probably because of the lust, his voice sounded a bit rough. That husky tone inexplicably caused Xu Zheyi¡¯s heart to itch. Xu Zheyi quickly glanced down at Ruka¡¯s crotch, which was vigorously standing up by that time. The white cloth of his underwear was stretched to the limit and there was even a small wet spot. The intersection of the red line looked like a knot tied around the bottom of his penis. Xu Zheyi unobtrusively adjusted the underwear so that Ruka¡¯s erect manhood was not so obvious, and then said, ¡°Move down a little.¡± Ruka immediately did so, with his upper body half propped up, letting Xu Zheyi kneel behind him while leaning against the headboard. Xu Zheyi held Ruka from behind. It was the first time they had been in this position and Xu Zheyi felt his penis become excited from being pressed up against Ruka¡¯s back. He absent-mindedly stroked Ruka¡¯s thighs, moving his hands from the outside to the inside. The whole time, he deliberately did not touch the hard shaft that was right in the middle. Xu Zheyi slowly tortured him like this until Ruka felt that he was no longer capable of restraining himself. He had been a true ascetic for the weeks after leaving Xu Zheyi, lacking even the inclination to do anything. Yesterday, when he saw Xu Zheyi, his arousal was almost like a match lit by striking the side of a match box. It was ignited several times, but each time at the critical juncture the flame was mercilessly extinguished, practically making him go mad. He could no longer bear it and grabbed hold of his own dick and started rubbing. Xu Zheyi immediately smacked his hand away and demanded, ¡°Who allowed you to touch what¡¯s mine?¡± After Xu Zheyi finished speaking, he was instantly embarrassed by his own words. Ruka was feeling a lot of pressure and cursed under his breath. Xu Zheyi could not help wanting to laugh. He finally showed mercy and reached his hand into Ruka¡¯s underwear, loosely gripping the top of his shaft with his full hand. He could already feel the pre-cum leaking from Ruka¡¯s dick flow onto his hand. Xu Zheyi¡¯s lower abdomen clenched, and he felt that his own cock had started to leak. Ruka could not wait for the hand gripping his manhood to get going, so he started to pump his waist up and down. The temperature of the scene suddenly shot up. The cameraman knelt with one knee on the edge of the bed, not daring to blink as he filmed, so he would not miss any of the sensual Ruka in front of him. Ruka spread open his long legs, turned his head, and passionately kissed the man behind him. Below his narrow waist, Xu Zheyi had squeezed both hands into the tight underwear. From the rapid movements that could clearly be seen below the fabric, it was obviously an intense battle. Unfortunately, the highlights of the scene were hidden under that small piece of white cloth. Not only was the director anxious, but all the people in the room were eager to remove the unsightly fabric from Ruka¡¯s lower body. Unfortunately for them, the two men on the bed were totally indifferent to their woes. Even though Ruka was so hard it felt like he would explode, Xu Zheyi slowed down and asked him, in the gap between their kisses, ¡°Do you know what I think every time I look at you?¡± Ruka was silent for a moment, then looked askance at him, ¡°What?¡± ¡±I think that if you look back at me too, I¡¯ll put my hand inside your underwear and hold that place firmly, then bring it inside my mouth and suck¡­¡± ¡°Plagiarism, not creative,¡± interrupted Ruka coldly, but his penis was once again leaking pre-cum, causing Xu Zheyi¡¯s hands to become wet with creamy bodily fluids. ¡°¡­Then I¡¯ll just have to shut you up with my dick,¡± Xu Zheyi whispered. That vulgar threat almost broke through the extreme boundary of what he could speak out loud, and as soon as the words left his mouth his entire face blushed a deep crimson. Ruka probably did not expect that the usually passive and overwhelmed Xu Zheyi would come at him so obscenely. Ruka could not help throwing a helpless look at the other man, the tips of his ears painted slightly red. ¡°Well, then come,¡± Ruka finally said. That remark was simply an invitation to the devil. Xu Zheyi climbed on top of Ruka¡¯s body. Before his eyes was Ruka¡¯s energetic member, and his own lower body was in front of Ruka¡¯s face; the standard 69 position. It was incomparably erotic, his mind had gone completely blank, and he could not remember why he had said such provocative words. The director shouted ¡®cut¡¯ and under his orders they impatiently took off Ruka¡¯s underwear and kicked it to the side. No longer hindered, his erect penis was exposed. It was ready to go, the tip red and moist. Xu Zheyi traced his index finger along the seam that ran down the middle of the glans, the stimulation causing more transparent liquid to flow out. Due to the sensations, Ruka lost control of his voice and a low gasp managed to escape his lips. Xu Zheyi¡¯s forehead suddenly grew hot, and in a move unfathomable to himself, he took that long, hard thing into his mouth. Ruka was finally able to let out a long sigh of relief and then, in the spirit of reciprocity, he also began to perform oral sex on Xu Zheyi. Xu Zheyi initially managed to restrain himself for a few seconds, but his hole soon began twitching and he felt like he would immediately ejaculate. He patted Ruka¡¯s thigh to indicate for him to stop, so Ruka released his penis and shifted his position so he could lick Xu Zheyi¡¯s two round balls. In fact, Xu Zheyi was still not accustomed to being so intimately close to others. He usually disliked the strong male odor, but today he was not sure what to make of it. To his surprise, he felt that the smell was particularly titillating, causing his stomach to heat up and his erection to stand up even taller. He was aware that the camera lens was pointed straight at him, the videographer unsure of whether to shoot his or Ruka¡¯s penis. To think that this youngster had such universal appeal that everyone from regular guys to seasoned vets of the industry became his fans. Xu Zheyi felt aggrieved and deliberately used his teeth to lightly scrape along Ruka glans. He immediately heard Ruka let out a smothered a groan and felt the man¡¯s flat, smooth abdomen spasm below him. Seeing Ruka¡¯s reaction despite his best attempts to conceal it, Xu Zheyi felt his entire body heat up even further. He could not help but take Ruka¡¯s shaft deeper into his mouth. He did not feel like he was choking, so he went even deeper. Ordinarily, when he was making love, Ruka would never let his voice out. Even during the most pleasurable moment he would not allow a single groan to escape. However, now he actually released an ¡®en¡¯ sound. Hi voice was husky and very sexy, provoking Xu Zheyi to madness. He could not stop himself from continuing, although he lacked any skills, even to save face. With Ruka¡¯s hard cock in his mouth, he started to quickly move his head up and down, taking in as much length as possible with each movement. Xu Zheyi himself was not sure about all that was happening. His own penis was laying against Ruka¡¯s body while Ruka¡¯s was in his mouth and yet he felt so comfortable. The videographer stood by the bedside and the camera was just like his eyes, sweeping over the two naked men from left to right. Xu Zheyi initially harboured some scruples, but when Ruka rubbed his finger along the sensitive edge of his hole and then pushed it inside, he was unable to worry about the camera any longer. ¡°¡­Oh!¡± He groaned inarticulately as his lower back stretched out tautly. ¡°Here?¡± Ruka asked as he once again pushed down with his finger, pressing down on the same spot and then rubbing it. Xu Zheyi could not even kneel straight and his waist went soft and then dropped down. After some more stimulation, he spread his legs apart even further because it was the only way he could keep himself propped up. Xu Zheyi once again accelerated the speed of oral sex, occasionally using his unpracticed tongue to lick along the head of Ruka¡¯s dick. A salty taste gradually emerged between his lips and tongue. Ruka was about to climax so he increased the ferocity with which he plunged his finger in and out of Xu Zheyi¡¯s back entrance. He even began moving his waist and several of the thrusting motions forced his cock deep into the back of Xu Zheyi¡¯s throat, causing him to gag a few times. Xu Zheyi was about to ejaculate and his manhood was so swollen it ached. The small hole on his tip opened up when Ruka suddenly grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. After a few seconds, he gradually became aware that Ruka had come. ¡°Come here,¡± ordered Ruka. Xu Zheyi turned around like he was put under a spell and nestled into Ruka¡¯s waiting arms. At this time, he discovered that he had also ejaculated and the white fluid flowed down Ruka¡¯s muscular chest. Xu Zheyi reached out to touch it in fascination and at that moment he was pulled into a kiss. The kiss was lingering and intimate, lasting so long that the director thought that nothing would be better than to end the scene with this kiss. The director shouted ¡®cut¡¯ several times, but the two men on the bed were in their own little world. They continued kissing, loath to part, and left the director with no room to advance or retreat. Despite his best efforts they had continued on, so they might as well take this opportunity and continue filming. Since they did not have to use film in their cameras, and there was no extra cost to filling up memory card space, they would just film it until the end. The two men on the bed were still kissing, as wet as if they were just fishing in the Shiuli Township. They laid on their sides, hugging, tongues entwined, chest against chest, and long legs tangled with long legs. The cameraman took a shot panning from the foot of the bed up to the headboard, lingering on their rapidly flourishing erections. Within the AV industry, there were not many who were unaware of this pair of ¡®sweethearts¡¯ after the release of the first film. Especially Ruka, who was always so cold and provocative once he was in front of a camera. At that moment, that cold guy was laying down, giving his boyfriend gentle and soft kisses over and over again. The cameraman did not truly believe that they were actually partners until he witnessed their actions. Ruka lifted up his boyfriend¡¯s leg and draped it over his waist. On the one hand he covered Xu Zheyi¡¯s body with his own, and on the other hand he planted a gentle kiss on his forehead. If they were not a couple, it would probably be impossible to create such a sweet and intimate atmosphere. How could that type of tenderness just be an act? The videographer focused in on Ruka¡¯s wide shoulder line. His perfect muscles flowed down and gathered at his thin waist, his strong gluteal muscles were tightly flexed, and his testicles could just be seen below. Ruka had almost completely shielded his boyfriend from view. Although his entire back was fully exposed, all that could be seen of Xu Zheyi were a pair of long legs wrapped around the other man¡¯s waist. They could also just barely see Xu Zheyi¡¯s alluring appearance. From what could be seen, his chest was flushed crimson and his consciousness was blurred; his beguiling looks could cause any man who saw him to surrender. The photographer subconsciously licked his lips and heard the two people on the bed talking low voices, but he could not make out their words. ¡°¡­I forgot to put on a condom,¡± said Ruka insipidly. Xu Zheyi was worried about a completely separate matter, ¡°Why does the cameraman keep filming your ass?¡± He had constantly kept in mind what Xiang had told him. Many men out there had literally drooled over Ruka¡¯s body, and now the cameraman¡¯s attitude was so obvious that he could not help wanting to defend Ruka¡¯s butt. ¡°You. Turn me over. If we¡¯re being filmed then they need to see both of us; we¡¯re going to share in this misery.¡± He could not help himself from giving Ruka¡¯s hair a tug, but the other party paid him no mind. It was like he was laying beneath a mountain, so even though he tried to wriggle from left to right, he could only clench his teeth when Ruka did not budge one bit. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Asked Ruka, his cold voice helpless. Xu Zheyi looked at him for a few seconds with determination. There was nothing else Ruka could do, so without any other options he picked up Xu Zheyi so he could kneel on the bed, then swiftly entered him from behind. Ruka was very familiar with the position of the camera. The photographer adjusted his angle several times so that he was only filming Xu Zheyi¡¯s naked upper body and long, slender legs. Ruka reached one arm skillfully in front of Xu Zheyi and firmly grasped his cock. Afraid he would demand something troublesome again, Ruka began thrusting ruthlessly. This action was really effective on Xu Zheyi. Although he was dizzy and his eyes were dimmed, he still heard Ruka whisper seductively in his ear, ¡°Everyone is watching me fuck you.¡± This sentence caused Xu Zheyi to be nervous and he started to vigorously twist his body. Ruka had never really cared about having sex in front of the screen. In any case, he felt that this was just his job¡ªit was no different from just opening and closing a door. However, he was completely preoccupied when it came to the naked Xu Zheyi. He desperately wanted to cover him up with a blanket from head to toe. This did not match up with Xu Zheyi¡¯s way of thinking. He originally had a very conservative nature when it came to sex, but since he had been together with Ruka he discovered that he was actually able to let go of that. He looked towards the camera and, as expected, it was directly facing him. He immediately blushed bright red with shame, but he did not shrink back. He wanted this to be good. I, your father, will tie you to me in this humiliation, you are mine. He twisted his waist again and Ruka could barely keep them connected. Ruka asked somewhat resentfully, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± He certainly did not anticipate that Xu Zheyi would confidently answer, ¡°I want to look at you.¡± Ruka had no choice but to turn him over again. Xu Zheyi¡¯s face was filled with lust; he was blushing deeply, yet his eyes were very bright. Ruka could not help it, he bowed down and kissed him. When he kissed him, he felt his heart go soft. That soft feeling was accompanied by a deep ache, almost like he was sick. Xu Zheyi kissed him back, wrapped his arms around Ruka¡¯s neck, closed his eyes, and let him enter his body. For some reason, that scene appeared incredibly warm. The director thought about it and asked the videographer to pull back and shoot the two men from a little farther away. Ruka did not hold back much and used a fair amount of strength as he rocked his hips back and forth. Xu Zheyi could feel Ruka¡¯s scrotum slapping against his buttocks as he was penetrated deeply and ruthlessly, and he felt like he could actually die. He watched in fascination as Ruka¡¯s sweat rolled down his forehead, slid across his cheek, dripped down to his strong chest, and flowed down his firm abdomen in time with his thrusting. He finally lost sight of it when it was somewhere between his navel and lower body. The men¡¯s actions produced a lascivious wet sound. Despite this the scene was, visually, very easy on the eyes. As his body was violently rammed, Xu Zheyi once again felt that he may not make it. His toes repeatedly curled up as he attempted to resist his orgasm just a bit longer, while the leaking pre-cum had long made a mess of his lower abdomen. When he finally released, Ruka tenderly embraced him within his arms and kissed his lips. **** As a result of that day¡¯s filming, Xu Zheyi¡¯s lips were swollen for two days and he found walking to be somewhat challenging. He had very little impression of what had been filmed that day. He only recalled clearly that he had been held by Ruka, and he felt like they could never be separated. When people were passionately in love, it probably seemed like every moment could last until the end of time. The second film was another best-seller, but it also had a much greater impact Xu Zheyi¡¯s life. Taiwan and Japan were so close that, even without translation, those who could somewhat read Japanese characters could guess the meaning of the Ruka¡¯s words. Not to mention, the visual aspect of films was like a universal language¡ªa picture could make everything clear. Xu Zheyi and Ruka became sensations in the Chinese gay community for a while, so curiosity about their backgrounds caused them to be subject to a human flesh search4. Owing to Xu Zheyi¡¯s history as a small-time actor, once the press caught wind of his role in the films, it was published in many gossip magazines and major newspapers. The film screenshot that they chose to publish was when he was naked and wearing a salacious expression; it was an unobstructed image of him mid-climax. The photo was quite popular and attracted the paparazzi, who followed him everywhere with their cameras. Xu Zheyi was very troubled due to the situation and decided to move away from Taipei. He finally settled down along the beach, south of the capital city, aiming to fulfill his wish by opening up a small online clothing store. After some time had passed and the online store was on track, he opened up a small shop. Two people and one dog stayed in the shop and looked after it, living a happily ordinary and simple life. The fluffy white furball went through a period of utter insanity. Xu Zheyi would shout and call it Xu Xiaolu, while Ruka would call out Luxiao Xu, causing it to be extremely bewildered. In the end it simply ignored them. Xu Zheyi grew to love the puppy dearly and began calling it ¡®baby¡¯5. This resulted in confusion for Ruka instead. Every time Xu Zheyi clapped his hands to the little white furball and said, ¡°Baby,¡± the one who came over first was always Ruka. Xu Zheyi felt sorry that he would have to tell him, I called the dog, not you, so he had to muddle through an ambiguous explanation. He did not expect that Ruka would especially take a liking to that name. Particularly when they were in bed, the name ¡®baby¡¯ was like an aphrodisiac and it led to Ruka being very lively. After every time they had sex, Xu Zheyi inwardly reviewed it and determined that he was far too indulgent with Ruka. It had reached the point where he just took what he wanted as if it was expected. However, he knew that he could not control himself. Ruka knew his weak spots and he had found every chink in his armour; he could not conceal his true heart from that man. The opposite was also true. The weather in Kenting Town was splendid and sunny. It was undoubtedly still winter, but there was a slight hint of summer. Ruka had recently learned to surf. Never mind his level, he only had to appear shirtless with the surfboard wedged beneath his arm and he would attract various shrieks and whistles. Xu Zheyi was extremely jealous. He immediately seized the opportunity to nip and bite Ruka¡¯s body in order to leave his mark. Unexpectedly, Ruka did not mind one bit. On the contrary, he regarded it as a medal of honour and ran around just like he had before. In the end, Xu Zheyi was the one who found it embarrassing. One night, as they sat in the living room watching TV with Xu Zheyi using Ruka¡¯s lap as a pillow, Xu Zheyi felt an intense wave of love surge up within his heart. He thought back and realized that he still owed Ruka a confession of his true feelings. Therefore, he sat upright and still, then earnestly professed, ¡°Baby, I Love you.¡± Ruka stared blankly for a second, then asked, ¡°So we don¡¯t need to use surfing as a secret signal now?¡± Xu Zheyi almost slipped off the couch. The usage of ¡®surfing¡¯ as a secret signal originated from one night a while before. Xu Zheyi was dissatisfied by the fact that Ruka was always going about offending public morals6, so in a moment of desperation he blurted out, ¡°Rather than surfing you should be doing it with me.¡± Consequently, since then, surfing had become a synonym for one husband to proposition another. At the time, Xu Zheyi did not anticipate that Ruka would somehow come to associate the two things. ¡°No,¡± Xu Zheyi practically beat his chest and stamped his feet, ¡°I¡¯m saying, I love you.¡± Ruka looked at him, then replied indifferently, ¡°I know.¡± Only his ears could never hide his honest emotions, turning such a deep crimson that they made people just want to take a bite. Xu Zheyi did not see his shyness and felt aggrieved due to his perceived coldness, so he prattled on, ¡°I haven¡¯t told you, how would you know¡­Hey, who allowed you to take your clothes off? Oh¡­¡± Ruka remembered when he once said to Xu Zheyi, I will wait for you to think clearly. What he did not tell Xu Zheyi was that, whatever his answer was, he would never have let him go. In the days they were separated, he learned a little from watching some dramas, as well as reading and copying relevant information he found in a few psychology books. He summed up all of the information into ¡®Ten Golden Tricks to Capture a Man¡¯s Heart¡¯, then set out to confirm them slowly. In any case, a long future lay ahead of them. As Ruka thought of that, he pressed his lips against Xu Zheyi¡¯s neck and revealed a small, tiger-tooth smile. 12633717@2x It¡¯s over. I can¡¯t believe it. When I picked this up initially, I had no idea that, along with a healthy dose of smut, we would get some serious sweetness. If you have the time, please consider going to the Novel Updates page and writing a review, or at least leaving a rating. The reason I¡¯d like more reviews is because I think, due to the novel description, a lot of people pass this story by. But it¡¯s just so great! I won¡¯t be picking up another title, and instead I will focus on the two I have. Thank you so much for reading, and for all of your amazing comments. It¡¯s been a delight and I hope you continue with me on my other projects.
