Chapter 94: A Happy Fool

Chapter 94: A Happy Dumbass

Chen Wang's words struck Cheng Ji's heart like a series of knives.

Cheng Ji took a step back, his eyes bulging as he stared at Gu Sai in disbelief: "Really? Is he telling the truth?"

Gu Sai gave Chen Wang a helpless look: "Yeah."

He figured Chen Wang was being childish, but he wasn't wrong—they really were together, and he genuinely didn't like the snacks Cheng Ji kept giving him.

Cheng Ji still couldn't bring himself to believe it. He asked, "Gu Sai, tell me the truth—did he use his power to get you?"

Gu Sai frantically shook his head: "N-no... no."

Chen Wang threw his head back with a cold laugh: "Heh, as if. I'm Chen Wang, hello? I'm this damn handsome—Gu Sai's head over heels for me. Why would I need to pull that kind of move? Kid, face it. Keep your eyes off my man."

Gu Sai pulled on his arm: "Chen Wang, quit running your mouth. Cheng Ji and I are only friends. He doesn't have those kinds of feelings for me..."

"So... I really don't stand a chance?" Cheng Ji asked sorrowfully.

Gu Sai: ...

Well, that backfired fast.

He said earnestly, "Cheng Ji, I've always thought of you as a good friend, and I think we're better as friends, don't you think?"

Before Cheng Ji could respond, Chen Wang smugly slung an arm around Gu Sai's waist: "Mm-hmm~ You can have all the friends you want, but you've only got one lover—me!"

Cheng Ji gritted his teeth, pissed off, and was quiet for a beat. Then he suddenly squared his shoulders and asked, "Gu Sai, can I put in a reservation to be your next boyfriend?"

"Huh?" Gu Sai was stunned.

Chen Wang's eyebrows shot up: "What's that supposed to mean, huh?"

Cheng Ji: "Like... when you two break up, I can slide right in without missing a beat."

"You little shit!" Chen Wang was about to swing.

But Cheng Ji hopped out of the car and hightailed it.

Gu Sai held Chen Wang back: "Come on, come on, no need for that."

Chen Wang, going by the "happy people don't fight" rule, didn't hold it against Cheng Ji. He just shut the car door and made Gu Sai comfort his bruised ego.

Five minutes later, Gu Sai was on Chen Wang's lap, breathless from all the kissing.

"Okay, stop... my makeup's going to run."

Chen Wang had one arm around his waist and used the other to play with his little fox ears and tail: "Baby, wear this outfit to the hotel tonight, yeah?"

Gu Sai's face turned red as he shook his head: "No chance."

Chen Wang smiled: "No problem. I can buy another one and keep it on standby. Then I, your hubby, will dress you myself, and undress you with my kisses. You'll roll out the red carpet, I'll push my way in, you'll shower me with gratitude, and I'll be a grateful mess..."

Gu Sai: ???

How is this guy's mouth so...

He said, flustered and mortified, "I... I'm going to my apartment tonight, not the hotel."

Chen Wang's expression changed drastically: "If you don't go to the hotel, who's going to take care of me? Who's going to help me shower, who's going to feed me, who's going to ride me—mmph..."

Gu Sai covered his mouth, his face already crimson: "Stop talking. You had such a strong grip when you hugged me just now—surely eating isn't that hard for you? Besides, Mi Qi called me. He's coming to Heng City too and wants to come by my apartment tonight to see Zhadan."

Chen Wang buried his face in his neck, nuzzling around: "Then I'm coming to your apartment too."

When he acted spoiled, he looked a bit like a wolf wagging its tail, which made Gu Sai's heart soften inexplicably—he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

He patted Chen Wang's head: "My apartment's too small, there's no room. And Zhadan always attacks you—it'd be bad if you got hurt."

Chen Wang looked up: "Then tell me—who's more important, your son or me?"

In the past, whenever he heard people ask questions like "If your mom and I fell into the river at the same time, who would you save?" he'd scoff and think it was utterly stupid. He never imagined such a stupid question would one day come out of his own mouth.

Gu Sai laughed. He tapped Chen Wang's nose with his index finger and said, "Why are you getting jealous over a cat? How childish is that?"

"So what if I'm childish?" Chen Wang shook him playfully. "Come on, tell me—who's more important?"

Gu Sai said helplessly, "You're important. You're the most important. Happy now?"

Chen Wang was satisfied: "That's more like it."

At that moment, he felt that even if he was a dumbass, he was a happy, handsome, joyful dumbass.

Chen Wang stayed on set until noon, watched Gu Sai eat the lunch he'd specially ordered for him, and only after being urged more than a dozen times by Gu Sai did he head back to the hotel to rest.

By the time they wrapped, it was already dark. Gu Sai removed his makeup, changed clothes, and his whole body ached with exhaustion. Finally, he could go back and rest.

Mi Qi had called him several times, but his phone was on silent and he hadn't picked up. On the way back, he quickly returned the call.

"Hey, Mi Qi, have you arrived?"

"Gu Sai, I'm in Heng City! Where are you? I'll come find you—I've got a huge piece of gossip to tell you!"

Gu Sai: "Huh? What gossip? I'm on my way back to the apartment."

Mi Qi sounded a bit anxious: "Send me the address. I'll wait for you there—let's talk in person!"

"Oh."

Gu Sai sent him the address. When he arrived at the apartment, he spotted Mi Qi in the distance, luggage in tow.

Mi Qi waved his arm in greeting and rushed over to hug him: "Gu Sai!"

Gu Sai helped him with his suitcase: "Come on, let's head up. What's this huge gossip you mentioned? Whose?"

In the elevator, Mi Qi began to explain: "Remember how I was pretending to be a girl and flirting with some young wolf? I'd tease him when I was bored, planning to delete him after a few days. But then I discovered..."

He widened his eyes, like he was telling a ghost story.

Gu Sai asked cautiously, "Discovered... he's also a girl?"

"No," Mi Qi said, "I discovered he might be Jiang Xun!"

Gu Sai was shocked: "Wow."

Once inside the apartment, Mi Qi picked up Zhadan, gave him a good snuggle, then pulled out his phone and seriously showed Gu Sai their chat history.

"I made him call me 'big sister' and say all the things I like to hear, and he did. Listen to this."

He played a voice message, and a deep male voice came through: "Sis..."

"I'm your dog, please discipline me, sis."

"Sis, would you step on me?"

"Ah... sis, master, not enough, give me more..."

The guy's voice was incredibly suggestive, making even Gu Sai feel embarrassed.

"This... doesn't sound like Mr. Jiang's voice."

"He's gotta be using a voice changer!" Mi Qi said. "As a reward, I ordered him a little cake and had it delivered to the address he gave me. I even tipped the delivery guy a hundred yuan to take a photo of the person. Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, I couldn't help but think his build looked just like Jiang Xun's."

With that, he pulled up the photo the courier had taken and showed it to Gu Sai. Gu Sai didn't recognize Jiang Xun, but he did recognize the hotel in the photo, along with the Mickey Mouse cake that had been flattened by someone's head.

"So it really was him..." Gu Sai said, pointing at the photo. "I ran into him at this hotel this morning—same cake, same clothes."

Mi Qi sat bolt upright, stunned. "Really? What were you doing at the hotel this morning? Are you sure you saw him?"

Gu Sai nodded. "Yeah, I just came out of Chen Wang's room and accidentally bumped into him."

Mi Qi: "Came out of... Chen Wang's room? You two made up?"

Gu Sai: ...

"Yeah." He'd basically just admitted it without even being asked.
