ACBNHTS Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Plugging into the Formula is Fast

Sheng Yiguang slowly walked to the bedside and sat down.

Pei Du chuckled, “Not going to sit on my lap?”

“No, thanks.”

He had sat there before to kiss, but that was when things got heated, and he lost himself in the moment, and Pei Du pulled him onto his lap. Now he was jumping straight to the final version, and he couldn’t handle it; he was too self-conscious.

Pei Du lowered his head and kissed him earnestly on the lips.

“Baby, did you miss me?”

Sheng Yiguang’s heart fluttered, and he slightly raised his face to meet him.

Pei Du chuckled softly, “Seems like you did.”

…

After a long while, Pei Du wiped his hands and looked teasingly at Sheng Yiguang, who was lying in bed covering his face with the blanket, his tone leisurely.

“It’s okay, we’re family, nothing to be ashamed of.”

Sheng Yiguang lightly kicked him twice, “Hurry up and go wash up!”

Pei Du laughed and got up.

The room quieted down. Sheng Yiguang came out from under the blanket, confirmed that Pei Du wasn’t in the room, opened his phone, and tapped into the mini-program.

There were still 187 days left.

He looked at the comments and then at the mini-program.

He looked at the mini-program and then at the comments.

Plugging into the formula is fast!

He was terrifyingly strong now!

–

After coming out of the bar, Du Chao followed behind Wen Heng.

“Little Wen, don’t be sad.”

Wen Heng tightened his clothes, not wanting to talk to this poor-as-dirt simp.

“I’m going back to live stream.”

Du Chao’s face was full of enthusiasm, “Then I’ll wait for your stream.”

“Okay.”

Wen Heng drove back to his apartment and started his live stream.

The first to enter was naturally Du Chao, who had been waiting for a long time. Soon after, Gold Branch, ranked fourth, and Lin Jianyue, ranked tenth, also arrived.

The sixth-ranked in the live stream was Grandpa Pei, who was offline. Fengrui, the first-ranked, hadn’t been around for a long time.

“Grandma-Crossing-the-Road,” ranked third, did drop by for a stroll.

Wen Heng chatted with him for a while, noticing that Gold Branch hadn’t said a word.

“Brother Gold?”

No one responded.

Wen Heng leaned closer to the microphone and called out twice more.

YuèYuè: [Young Master Gold, what are you doing? Spacing out while watching Little Wen’s live stream?]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [Oh, that’s rare. Isn’t Young Master Gold always on his phone, even when he goes to the bathroom?]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [Little Wen, he doesn’t love you anymore]

YuèYuè: [Yay! One less competitor!]

Wen Heng watched them spamming the screen without saying anything.

After a while, Gold Branch finally appeared.

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [Little Wen, let me explain. I just went to take a shower.]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road immediately exposed him.

[Last month, you even brought your phone into the shower.]

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [Shut up! Little Wen, don’t doubt my love for you. I just have some things going on.]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [Oh, it’s “some things” again.]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [Little Wen, don’t believe him. He’s changed his heart, guaranteed!]

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [You, motherfucker!]

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [I’m too lazy to argue with you and ruin our Little Wen’s live stream atmosphere.]

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [Little Wen, I’ve been a bit busy with work lately. You know how it is, my dad is very strict with me, but I’ll still squeeze in time to watch your live stream!]

Wen Heng saw the message and couldn’t force a smile, even in front of the camera.

Squeezing it in.

“Brother Gold, I understand, work hard! Sending hearts~”

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [Okay, okay, sending hearts]

No-Brother-Is-Handsomer-Than-Me-So-Mic-Off: [I’m leaving now]

After saying that, Gold Branch decisively exited the live stream.

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [He just left like that?]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [Boring, I’m leaving too]

Grandma-Crossing-the-Road: [Little Wen, I’ll come to see you again next time]

After saying that, he left too.

Two big spenders had left the stream, and the atmosphere immediately cooled down.

System: [He’s a bit strange. Could it be that Sheng Yiguang seduced him away?]

Wen Heng was still relatively calm. “Don’t forget, he expressed how much he hated Sheng Yiguang a few days ago. It’s only been a few days; it’s impossible. Let him go make trouble with Sheng Yiguang and slowly wear down Sheng Yiguang’s energy.”

After exiting the live stream, Jin Zhi smoothed out the crumpled piece of paper from the day, again and again.

Could he really make merchandise?

Could he really do it?

Would Sheng Yiguang deliberately bring it up just to mess with him?

Jin Zhi thought about it over and over but couldn’t come up with an answer. He called Uncle Qian.

Uncle Qian was also still awake.

Jin Zhi: “Uncle Qian, I remember you saying before that Sheng Yiguang is very capable at work and is the top salesperson in their company’s design department?”

Qian Zhongjun was woken up in the middle of the night by the young master’s phone call. He was about to curse but realized that it was about important matters, so he pulled himself together and started thinking.

“Yes, that’s right. That’s why your dad specifically requested that Sheng Yiguang lead the project team when he signed the contract.”

“Then, would you say that the things he likes are usually good?”

“Yes, that’s right. What’s wrong?”

Jin Zhi hesitated for a long time, not wanting to mention that Sheng Yiguang had seen his doodles. Instead, he asked the question that troubled him the most.

“Do you think he would suck up to me just to mess with me?”

Qian Zhongjun: ??????????

“How would he suck up to you? Buy you constipation medicine and hemorrhoid cream?”

“No, I mean, would he praise me, flatter me, and brag about me?”

Qian Zhongjun’s head was buzzing. “He could just directly kill you. Why would he go out of his way to praise you, flatter you, and brag about you against his conscience?”

Jin Zhi suddenly realized, “That’s right! I understand! Thank you, Uncle Qian! You should rest early!”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Qian Zhongjun looked at the disconnected phone, and his anger soared.

Just for this?

Just this?!

Qian Zhongjun was so angry that he wanted to block the little brat, but after thinking about it, he just put his phone on silent.

–

The next morning, Sheng Yiguang got up early to prepare a love breakfast for Pei Du, as the viewers had suggested.

Just as he finished washing up and walked into the kitchen, Pei Du shuffled out in his slippers.

He stood at the doorway for a moment, looking around. He heard movement in the kitchen.

He walked over and saw Sheng Yiguang inside. He slowly walked in, hugged him from behind, and closed his eyes sleepily.

“Can you change this habit of yours of running away from bed so early in the morning?”

“I wanted to make you breakfast, so I got up.”

Pei Du opened his eyes, saw Sheng Yiguang holding a knife, yawned, and went to wash up. He came back and took the knife from Sheng Yiguang’s hand.

“What do you want to make? I’ll do it.”

“I’ll do it, I…”

Sheng Yiguang paused. He had drunk a little wine last night, and under the influence of the alcohol, he said whatever he was thinking. Now, the words “personally cook for you” felt a bit too hot to handle.

Sheng Yiguang swallowed the words back. “I want to do it.”

Pei Du glanced at him, smiling meaningfully. “So early in the morning? Not good, right? You’ve been an adult for many years. Shouldn’t you have a little self-control?”

Sheng Yiguang’s face flushed. “I’m talking about cooking!”

“Oh, that’s what you meant. Then I misunderstood.”

“…” What misunderstanding? He was clearly doing it on purpose.

Sheng Yiguang: “I’ll do it.”

Pei Du slightly raised his eyebrows. “Eager to work? Are you trying to cook for me?”

“…”

Pei Du smiled, feeling very happy. But the words he spoke were quite annoying. “But I don’t like the shapes you cut.”

“…It’s all the same when it goes into your stomach.”

“My stomach says, don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors.”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang wanted to kick him.

Pei Du: “Alright, the kitchen is an important place. You with your delicate skin and tender flesh should quickly get out.”

Sheng Yiguang didn’t want to leave, glancing at the comments.

“Then I’ll stay here and keep you company.”

Pei Du looked at him.

Sheng Yiguang’s face flushed. He dryly added,

“Seeing you here alone, all lonely, is quite pitiful.”

Pei Du put down the knife. “Wait, what’s wrong with you? Last night you drank alcohol, and lust made you bold, so you were being clingy and begging me to let you stay with me. I could understand that. But it’s already morning. Are you still drunk?”

Sheng Yiguang retorted, “I wasn’t being clingy.”

Pei Du chuckled in amusement. “Fine, you weren’t.”

Sheng Yiguang muttered softly, “I already told you that I have strength and means. You also told me to let it rip, but now you’redislike me…”

Pei Du: “…”

Pei Du shook his head, feeling both helpless and amused.

“Baby, please, give me a break. Are you even trying to court me? Sticking to me and refusing to leave so early in the morning? We’re both men, you know that early mornings are the easiest time to get impulsive…”

“…”

“Or is it…” Pei Du’s gaze gradually turned dangerous. “You want to?”

He leaned closer and asked, “How’s the soundproofing here?”

Sheng Yiguang took two steps back.

This wouldn’t work.

Tongtong was still at home.

If he were to run into them, he would be traumatized for life.

Seeing that he was panicking, Pei Du grabbed him instead, smiling wickedly.

“Come on, come here. I’ll be a male bodhisattva today, and we’ll unlock the kitchen map right here.”

Sheng Yiguang quickly pulled back his hand and left the kitchen.

Pei Du watched his rabbit-like fleeing figure, hooked his lips into a smile, turned around, placed both hands on the countertop, took a few deep breaths, and slowly suppressed the surging restlessness.

Sheng Yiguang was still blushing even after running out of the kitchen.

No, no.

The formula can’t be applied blindly.

The phone rang at that moment.

As soon as he answered, Jin Zhi’s voice came through.

“Sheng Yiguang, after thinking about it, I can fulfill what you said. You should be happy, right? You’re getting off easy.”
