I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

Yu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes to gaze at him. Until Huo Qu was flushed, he let out an ‘umm’ and dug out one spoon of pudding. Under Huo Qu’s hopeful gazing, he put the spoon… into his own mouth.

“Wait a second! I’ll eat first.”

Huo Qu reluctantly replied with an ‘oh’ and followed him with disappointment. But the next second, he was fed by a spoon of sweet and warm milk pudding.

The sense of happiness suddenly boomed in his heart and filled his soul. He licked his lips carefully, trying to save every bit of sweetness Qinghuan gave him.

“Hey, what are you waiting for! Get on the car.” Yu Qinghuan’s gentle complains came to him from his front.

The dimple on Huo Qu’s face showed with his smile, “Um.”

As the car started slowly and was going to leave the small path, Yu Qinghuan suddenly looked backward for a second. On the corner of the garden, a light flashed and immediately disappeared.

That night, a famous paparazzi released a piece of overwhelmingly astonishing news:

[The popular fresh meat on the hit has a gay lover already. Want more? See you tomorrow morning.]

The whole Weibo got instantly bombed by this news. Many people were guessing who the “fresh meat” was. After a long list of the ‘fresh meat’, they even suspected some ‘old preserved meat’, but no one had ever guesses Yu Qinghuan.

At the same time, the reality show Young People Want High Yu Qinghuan attended was finally going to be on air.

The director was extremely shrewd. He @ Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Qinghuan when the box office of The Line of Life and Death surpassing 1.5 billion yuan, which brought the show a peak watching rate that night.

Except for movies, Yu Qinghuan seldom showed up on other occasions, which made his fans extremely curious about him. So they all turned on the TV and waited for his show.

The director of the reality show was deft at catching the audiences’ eyes, and the final clipping was both delightful and tearful. With the boost of the movie, the show directly ladened on the hit topic of Weibo!

[Hahahahahahaha! Was he really my Qingyuan? How could he act so silly! That was obviously a fake cactus! LOL!]

[Ahhhh! My Qinghuan is so handsome and even know how to cook! OMG! He is my ide-al husband!]

[Guys, here is a joke of my day that I wanna share with you.my mom saw Qinghuan on TV today and told me, ‘that young guy is the best candidate to be my son-in-law’. Hahahaha.]

[Wait a second, have you noticed that Qinghuan’s facial expression was extra gentle when he called Huo Qu?]

[Totally agreed! I noticed it too but I didn’t dare to say.]

[Hush… there is kind of…well… you know… chemistry thing…between those two. You see nothing. I didn’t say anything…]

…

The situation at the time was that the director asked them to call the latest contact in their phone call record, and the first one in Qinghuan’s record was Huo Qu.

For people in love, no matter how hard they tried to hide it, their eyes always sold them out. Besides, Qinghuan had never intended to hide it.

From the very beginning, he used the boiling-a-frog-in-warm-water strategy to gradually leak their affections to his fans, and publish their relationship to the world when all the people were getting used to their intimate interactions and almost to find out their real relationship.

However, the hit topic tonight immediately diverted from their relationship to pure friendship between two close friends, just like last time.

[Don’t talk nonsense. Huo Qu is different from others, which is why Qinghuan treats him in a more gentle manner. You can look at the previous news, they even held hands in Macau. Alas, I wish it were true but I clearly know that they cannot be a couple.]

[I want to tell you secretly, I got a relative who is Professor Huo’s colleague. My relative said, Huo Qu… has not born with the cognition of love.]

[You are the exclusive ones who can speak! Please leave us alone to write more romance for them? I love this couple! Weep!]

[Alas, how I wish one day Qinghuan would say on his Weibo, ‘Thanks for all the best wishes, we are together’. But… that’s impossible.]

…

As a result, when the paparazzi announced that the fresh meat was Yu Qinghuan and his gay lover was Huo Qu, everyone didn’t buy it at all.

[Ah, Qinghuan and Huo Qu! Feeding him a spoon of the pudding is nothing unusual! Didn’t you know that Huo Qu even didn’t know how to use dining utensils? That was reported long ago!]

Paparazzi: Nothing unusual? Two men fed each other dessert with one spoon! Was that nothing unusual?!

[You don’t need to make a song and dance about it. I have taken off my pants for some real juicy news and it turns out to be this. Bye! See you!]

Paparazzi: Isn’t this news juicy enough?!

[You are thinking too much… Although I really want them to be together, but…well…sleep tight.]

Paparazzi: …

Zhao Qingyuan called Yu Qinghuan on seeing the news, “Seriously, Qinghuan, are you literally the heavenly favored child? Just imagine if this news is from another actor, do you know what those people may say? That would become vital evidence of their relationship! How could they change their nature of judgment when it comes to you?”

Yu Qinghuan also felt quite sullen, “I am the one who wants to ask why!”

His strategy didn’t work?! Should he reveal their relationship from the press directly?!

“I finally got it.” Zhao Qingyuan tutted, “You were born with a gold finger. I was worrying that you might ruin yourself at first, now I even don’t know what ‘worrying about you’ means! The words are deleted from my dictionary!”

Yu Qinghuan, “…”

Why the concerns from Zhao Qingyuan always sounded so weird?

“Oh BTW,” Zhao Qingyuan laughed with a touch of salacity, “Are you OK these days? Still being wakened up by that stuff?”

”Hmm?” Yu Qinghuan was confused. He frowned and digested the words for a second, then replied, “You mean… I was too thirsty and woke up the other day? No, I have accustomed to the dry climate in the north these days.”

Zhao Qingyuan, “…” You mean you were thirsty because it was too dry?

Yu Qinghuan, “What do you think?”

Zhao Qingyuan sighed with a complicated complexion, “I thought it was some other kind of thirty…”

Yu Qinghuan, “…”

“I even told my friend to carry a bottle of India Divine Oil from abroad days ago! I was thinking to send you that as a gift! Alas!” Zhao Qingyuan said with pity, “It cost me years to think about how to speak to my friend about buying that! I thought it would be a significant milestone for our friendship!”

But it turns out it was not that kind of thirsty he has pictured?!

Huo Qu, why can’t you be a real man!?

If Zhao Qingyuan were here, Yu Qinghuan would jump up and give him a heavy blow on the head!

What kind of thirsty was Zhao Qingyuan picturing???

Even if he was thirsty about that thing, how could he speak to Zhao Qingyuan about it?

He took a deep breath and spoke in a cold voice, “Yeah, really a milestone! What have I done wrong in my last life to deserve a friend like you?”

Zhao Qingyuan: QAQ
