Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, in the car.
Gou Liang giggled as he looked at the picture on the marriage certificate. He was amazed. “We’re getting married here?”
In the last world, there were many people who was prejudiced against same-sex relationships, so there was no chance of getting married. Gou Liang never thought that they would so easily get a license today. Finally, he was a married person.
He ChongFeng pursed his lips and smiled with infinite joy in his eyes. He touched Gou Liang’s face in the photo of the marriage certificate, and lowered his head to kiss him on the cheek.
The rich fragrance of the positive soul force made Gou Liang’s mind grow hazy. He tilted his head and kissed He ChongFeng back, hugging his neck and turning over to sit on his lap, claiming everything He ChongFeng had offered eagerly. He ChongFeng laughed, the sound from his throat was occasionally interrupted by Gou Liang’s unruly movements as he let him fool around. Gou Liang pulled off He ChongFeng’s shirt and eagerly caressed his hard abdominal muscles. When he reached his belt, he quickly removed it.
Only then did He ChongFeng gently take his hand, kiss him, and say: “Wait, let’s go home first.”
“…Oh, okay.”
Gou Liang’s gaze became somewhat shy. The urgency within was no less than his own, but Gou Liang pretending to be prim and proper made He ChongFeng’s eyes curve in amusement.
After stopping the car, the confused Niu Qing didn’t have time to say anything before the passenger door was opened. He ChongFeng hurried home with a certain someone in his arms. Gou Liang’s legs were wrapped around his waist, and he was laughing in his ear and hugging He ChongFeng tightly.
Niu Qing: “……”
The expression on her face hadn’t changed since her family’s film emperor asked her to fast track their license after getting off the plane. After seeing how He ChongFeng had basically forgotten that she was still here, Senior Manager Niu begrudgingly parked the car in the garage. There, she ‘irresponsibly’ disposed of their luggage and felt a bit better afterwards. She got into another car and left.
—Fine, it’s the night of their wedding so I’ll leave it be this time.
She automatically ignored the blinding midday sun that shone on her as she left the garage.
The new co-owner of the home He ChongFeng usually stayed in while he was in the city didn’t have the time to appreciate it on his first visit.
From the entrance to the stairs, from Gou Liang’s clothes to He ChongFeng’s belt and pants, the two men were inseparable as they kissed their way up the stairs. As the bedroom door closed, the duo were isolated into a world of absolute privacy.
Gou Liang pressed He ChongFeng down. Joy radiated from his entire face. He bit He ChongFeng’s mouth. “I’ve wanted to eat for a long time….”
He ChongFeng touched his face and whispered, “Me…too.”
Surrounded by the lingering scent of lemon, Gou Liang touched his spectacular parts, bit his lip and said, “So what are you waiting for?”
He ChongFeng could no longer resist the urge to flip him over and press him down.
The double bed that had always had a single pillow on it finally underwent its masters’ test. Only when the moon began to climb up in the sky did it let out an exhausted squeaking sound. However, its two male owners on the bed were still burning off energy.
It might be due to over-supplementation on the island, but He ChongFeng was more energetic than ever. Gou Liang learned yet another benefit of the identity reset tools—no matter how much his body endured, he could still adjust it back to its best state and recover. This made him cling to the other like a greedy essence-sucking goblin….
Until all his stamina was gone.
He ChongFeng’s passive yet dominating possession drowned Gou Liang, who was still immersed in the afterglow of arousal.
The two of them melded into one, breathing heavily. He ChongFeng lovingly kissed the small dimples on his cheeks, his body desiring to squeeze deeper into him to get closer.
Gou Liang giggled softly and looked at his husband with tender eyes, kissing him in a lingering and uncharacteristically tame manner. After his brain finally regained clarity from the falling pleasure, Gou Liang suddenly pinched He ChongFeng’s ears and said, “Be honest, is this your first time?”
“En?”
He ChongFeng didn’t hear him clearly.
Gou Liang bit his lip and grit his teeth hard before saying, “Such good posture and technique… Did you practice on someone else before?”
His eyes became fierce.
Only then did He ChongFeng understand. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes as he hugged and kissed Gou Liang tightly. “Thank you for the compliment.”
“Who’s complimenting you?” said Gou Liang, holding back a smile and narrowing his eyes, “Answer my question and don’t try to lie to me, or else…”
“No.” He ChongFeng said, “I just want to practice with you.”
Gou Liang laughed: Well, every technical geek has an encyclopedia hidden in his heart, I understand =v=.

The next day, Gou Liang crawled up and made a big table of desserts for breakfast.
The fans in the broadcast room speculated that he had something good happen to him when they saw how happy he was. Gou Liang didn’t give them any explanation, but his smile was unconsciously a little showy. He was so happy that he was humming absent-mindedly under his breath. The only thing the fans could hear was the lyrics of a song that was repeated over and over again.
“Big lemon little lemon likes to eat sweets, little sweets big sweets, sweet sweet sweet~~”
The fans: …Our Male God’s unique singing voice appears again! Join us, friends!!
—We can’t be the only ones to suffer this poison! 〒▽〒
But before they could put it into action, a doorbell interrupted the broadcast.
Streamer Gou said, “We’ve reached the end of today’s Mai Tao livestream, see you all later.”
“Nooo, MaiMai!”
“The decor of MaiMai’s kitchen has changed again…”
“Silly user upstairs, it’s obvious that MaiMai changed houses entirely, all right?!”
“Hello MaiMai, goodbye MaiMai QAQ.”
“I haven’t even had the chance to say good morning yet…but it is getting late _(:з∠)_.”
Gou Liang exited the broadcast room and went to open the door in his apron, only to see a tall, professional-looking woman take off her sunglasses outside the door. “Mai Tao? Hello, it’s nice to meet you for the first time. I’m He ChongFeng’s mother.”
Gou Liang quickly welcomed her in and said, “ChongFeng also said yesterday that you were on a business trip and that he would like to have a meal with you after your return. Please come in, Mom. Have you eaten breakfast yet? If not, would you like to eat with us?”
Gou Liang had no parents and He ChongFeng’s father had also died of illness at an early age, leaving only one mother in the family. She was Ming Xing’s aunt and WE’s executive chairman, Ms. Wang AiYing.
He ChongFeng had always been highly independent, and he only mentioned his wedding to his mother in passing. She seemed to trust his judgement and had given her blessing over the phone. She also brought up eating together when she returned.
But…looking at her demeanour, it was as if she was afraid that her son would be bullied by Gou Liang.
Gou Liang’s eyes glittered mischievously.
“I’ve already eaten, thanks.”
She was a bit reserved for some reason. She looked around and quirked an eyebrow. “Where’s ChongFeng? Is he sleeping in on his first day of marriage?”
Gou Liang blushed shamefully and shyly said, “ChongFeng was very tired last night. I can’t bear to see him get up so early… Please don’t take offense, Mom.”
Ms. Wang’s back stiffened suspiciously for a moment.
Gou Liang pursed his lips to hold back a smile. He hurriedly invited her to sit down in the living room and hesitantly looked upstairs. The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before Gou Liang asked her to wait a moment as he went upstairs to wake He ChongFeng up.
With her back to him, Ms. Wang’s and He ChongFeng’s identical aloof masks instantly collapsed.
There was utter confusion written across her face: My son is actually the bottom!! My three views have been shattered!!!
Gou Liang held his breath until he entered the master bedroom. Then he collapsed against the door, laughing.
He ChongFeng had just woken up—Gou “Little Goblin” Liang secretly fed him and drank the Soul Recalling Grass juice yesterday, so the delicious food maker that was emptied out last night was now utterly exhausted. He ChongFeng heard his voice and walked over to ask him: “Who came…? Little Fool, what are you laughing at?”
Gou Liang said, “Your mom…is just as cute as you.”
He ChongFeng thought that he was talking about his mother’s changing expressions, so he poked his little pear dimples and said, “Don’t laugh about it in front of her, she’ll be embarrassed.”
It turned out that his father had died before He ChongFeng was born, leaving his mother to run the company alone.
In the past, WE didn’t have He ChongFeng’s holographic project to dominate the market, so Ms. Wang sold part of her shares to her brother-in-law, and the two families supported each other.
Ms. Wang, who used to have a very low laughing point and little credibility, had been wearing the cold-and-aloof.jpg expression on her face since then to be seen as a qualified leader. He ChongFeng copied her when he was young, but by the time Ms. Wang noticed his lack of expression, she was powerless to change it and regretted it immensely.
The good thing was, after He ChongFeng debuted, he proved with his achievements that there was nothing wrong with the nerves on his face, nor was he devoid of proper human emotions, which helped alleviate her heartache.
Gou Liang hugged his waist and rubbed against his chest before saying, “Good morning, Male God, good morning. I made your favorite lemon wafers today, oh~”
He ChongFeng’s eyes were soft. He brought his face close to Gou Liang’s, and Gou Liang took the initiative to kiss him. To satisfy his bad habit, he let out a “chuu~” sound effect and received a smile of hidden joy. He ChongFeng carried him downstairs while saying: “I like to eat whatever Little Fool likes.”
Ms. Wang saw her son carry her daughter-in-law downstairs with the proper posture of a top and derived a little comfort from that. When she saw one of He ChongFeng’s rare smiles, the other half of her uneasy heart was at peace.
“Mom.”
He ChongFeng shouted as he put Gou Liang down beside him like a child showing off his favorite toy. “This is Mai Tao, your daughter-in-law. Little Fool, did you call her Mom yet?”
“Mom.” Gou Liang called out sweetly.
He ChongFeng and Ms. Wang laughed at the same time. The latter also took out two red envelopes from her handbag and pushed her glasses up with a cool expression. “The documents change fee and the meeting gift.”
The eyes hidden behind the glasses became a little nervous.
She wasn’t prepared at all for her son’s marriage. She thought that she would be the one urging her son into a relationship when he reached 35, she didn’t even know what gifts to bring until she bugged her sister for information. However, she had also heard that young people nowadays thought this was too old-fashioned… The person in front of her also seemed quite rich… Would he find her gifts too shabby?
Her expression cooled off even more.
It was a good thing that Gou Liang was a little sweetie who would never inconvenience his ‘mother-in-law’. With bright eyes and a charming smile, he received the two red envelopes. “Thank you, Mom.”
His smile was so bright that even Ms. Wang, who had the cold-and-aloof.jpg affixed to her face for many years, couldn’t help but smile faintly.
He ChongFeng couldn’t resist kissing his eye-catching little pear dimples. He raised his head and said, “Let’s have breakfast. Feel free to look around, Mom.”
Given permission to explore, Ms. Wang decided to take a seat at the other end of the dining table. She watched the newlyweds intimately feed each other and pushed her glasses again. She drank some juice, it was only when she had left the table did she discover that she was super stuffed.
The noble and cold Ms. Wang left on her high heels after saying how she didn’t want to disturb the newlyweds.
Gou Liang was a little worried. “Should we get her some digestive medicine?”
Ms. Wang’s stomach was suspiciously bulging!
He ChongFeng pursed his lips as if he was holding back a smile. He said, “No, she has to be like a queen.”
Gou Liang: “Oh… Honey, I find that you’re really like Mom.”
He ChongFeng didn’t say anything, he just—

Their second visitor was Zhao Bin. The very temperamental Wen WuZhao carelessly picked the first day after the wedding to storm over to Film Emperor He’s house.
“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand about such a big event like your wedding?!”
If it wasn’t for Niu Qing coming to him to go over some policy changes for work, he wouldn’t have known that his family’s little cute newbie was about to ascend!
Gou Liang looked surprised, “Is Wen Wu-Ge trying to give us red envelopes? Aiya, why are you being so polite? Should we e-transfer the money or go with good old cash?”
Zhao Bin: “……”
He ChongFeng pursed his lips and smiled, touching Gou Liang’s head to indicate that he should not piss off the manager. Wen WuZhao was someone who liked to hold grudges and take revenge.
Gou Liang sat obediently on He ChongFeng’s lap while eating a bowl of fruit salad. He asked Zhao Bin, “Wen Wu-Ge must’ve had a reason other than newlywed-watching to come here, right?”
Zhao Bin: …I’m having a toothache.
Swallowing the dog food that was forced into his mouth, Senior Manager Zhao said with an unpleasant face, “There have been many film offers for you recently, and there’s one in particular I’d like you to consider.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.”
Zhao Bin: See, it’s this eat-eat-eat look on his face! It doesn’t have the hint of excitement a cute newbie should have! Don’t you know that little newbies who don’t worship their managers never have a happy ending?!
Zhao Bin ruthlessly picked up an apple and bit into it. “You must remember Director Zheng. He’s been preparing this film for over two years. He’s counting on this to win next year’s Golden Film Award, but he’s still looking for the lead actor. He saw your performance in ‘Seeking Survival on Wilderness Island’, found me, and wanted you to audition. It’s a great opportunity, and I hope you won’t delay your future for the rest of your life because of a moment of pleasure.”
Gou Liang didn’t say anything.
Instead, it was He ChongFeng, who was focused on tapping on the computer with one hand while holding Gou Liang with the other and politely not participating in their conversation, who stopped and looked at him, “Are you talking about《Country》? Who is the other male lead?”
Zhao Bin said a name, and He ChongFeng’s brows furrowed.
Gou Liang picked up on the situation and asked, “What other male lead? Am I not the only male lead?”
Zhao Bin choked on his matter-of-fact tone and said with hatred, “It’s a sad historical drama based on real events with no real female protagonist.”
Gou Liang understood now.
He put down the fruit cup, held He ChongFeng’s face and said, “Then reject it for me. I can’t bear my dear being jealous.”
Gou Liang looked like he was seeking praise. He ChongFeng tilted his head and kissed him, which made his face blossom with joy.
Zhao Bin rolled over and said, “Film Emperor He, you should have the professionalism of an actor, right? You wouldn’t impede Mai Tao’s career for this kind of reason, right?”
He ChongFeng didn’t reply directly. “My work plan for the next two years hasn’t been decided yet, so you should go talk to Qing-Jie… I don’t need to tell you the details on what to do for this kind of thing, do I?”
Zhao Bin: …Has their respect for managers been eaten by dogs?!
He left unhappily. The next day, Gou Liang and He ChongFeng received a formal audition invitation from Director Zheng.

===== 《Country》Double male lead audition scene ↓↓ =====
East Palace.
The scantily clad Crown Prince and his companion were kneeling before the Great Palace. The ailing Emperor and the majestic Empress Dowager were looking down at them sternly.
“As a crown prince, how could you hang out with others all day long instead of thinking about how to govern this country or its future?! Have you no shame?”
The Emperor cursed while coughing, the Empress Dowager patted his back caringly, but her eyes towards her grandson were filled with ice. She said: “Your Highness, you have been behaving badly as of late. This grieving one has let you off before due to your young age, but I never thought you would fool around with men in the palace without the slightest hint of remorse! How could you do this to this grieving one, to your father, and to the people? If you still don’t know your fault, I won’t allow such an unworthy and incompetent heir to become the laughingstock of the citizens, to bring shame to the royal family!”
“M-Mother—cough, cough, cough!”
The Emperor squeezed the chair in a death grip and tried to say something, but in his haste he had a coughing fit which drained the last of the blood from his face.
“Unfilial wretch! How dare you not admit your faults! Will you only be satisfied after angering your father into an early grave?!”
The Empress Dowager spoke sternly, but a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
The Crown Prince’s taut spine finally collapsed at this coughing fit. There was deep panic and hatred hidden in his eyes, but his face was all stubbornness. He tilted his head up and said, “There is no excuse for wanting to commit a crime!”
“I don’t know which scoundrel made a fuss in front of my Imperial Grandmother and Father, but I was just sparring with Guan- today. Our clothes were accidentally caught as we exchanged blows, that’s all. I’m not even old enough to wear a crown, and I’m a man like Imperial Bodyguard Guan, so how could I have done such a ridiculous thing?”
“Moreover, Imperial Grandmother has always known your grandson’s character, so why would she trust the petty slander against me so easily? I am diligent in my studies and have always treated my tutors and Guan-Shifu with due respect. Could it be that, in Imperial Grandmother’s heart, this grandson is actually the same as Imperial Brother who plays with the palace maids and makes enemies of the ministers of the court?”
The Empress Dowager’s face stiffened.
The Emperor had also finally calmed down and looked at his only legitimate son: “What happened today exactly? You must not try to hide anything!”
The Crown Prince looked up and said with tears in his eyes, “Father, Imperial Grandmother, who in the world has said such a condemning and rebellious statement to you? This grandson wants to confront them face to face!”
The Emperor’s face brightened, but the Empress Dowager’s grew colder. “How can this grieving one tolerate the master behind that person?”
Seeing the faces of the Crown Prince and Emperor change color, the Empress Dowager raised the corners of her long, narrow eyes and slowly said, “Besides, how are you to pass this trial if his life is spared today? This grieving one doesn’t want to be involved in today’s incident, and I don’t want to spread news that disgraces the royal family either. The reason for our advice is only to bring you back on the right track. Don’t be led astray by those sycophants and ruin this country’s foundation. Your Highness surely knows of my good intentions. If you cut this imperial bodyguard down today, this grieving one will pretend like this meeting in East Palace has never happened. What does the Crown Prince think?”
The Crown Prince’s face changed dramatically. “No! Imperial Grandmother—”
The Empress Dowager’s lips quirked in a smile, but the Emperor urgently said, “Crown Prince! No, don’t be presumptuous! Your grandmother’s words hold reason. Someone! Dispose of this offending and disruptive guard, none of these negligent palace servants could be left out either! Take them all out and—”
“Father!” With tears in his eyes, the Crown Prince knelt down and shouted, “Father, you mustn’t do such a thing! Guan-Shifu is no ordinary guard, he’s my teacher! Even if he isn’t an official tutor, we still have a teacher-student connection! He was once my teacher, so he’s like a father figure to me! How would the world view me if I let my teacher and father be killed?! Wouldn’t killing a member of the East Palace for such a trumped-up crime make the imperial court think that I have misbehaved and lost my virtue? Please, Father, think twice and believe in your son’s innocence!”
The Emperor was shocked, as if he had only just figured out the potential consequences. He seemed at a loss as to what to do. “This, this, cough, cough…”
The Crown Prince had tears running down his face. “Father should take care of his body. Your son would rather bear this crime rather than ruining your health. You… Father? Father?!”
The Emperor, whom he had just warned, immediately fainted and fell into the arms of the Empress Dowager.
The Crown Prince was horrified and lunged over, shouting, “Imperial Doctor! Quickly send for the imperial doctor!”
In the midst of the chaos, no one saw Guan-Shifu—who had knelt without uttering a word throughout—raise his head and exchange a brief glance with the wrinkled Empress Dowager.
……
Director Zheng, who was fond of long shots, was overjoyed and immediately decided to cast Gou Liang in the role of Crown Prince.
