Do you like it?

Xing Lixuan was uncertain if the emotions stirred within him by Yu Antong could be termed as 'liking'. He remained silent for a moment, hesitant to commit.

Xing Lixuan leaned down to kiss Yu Antong, breaking their intense gaze. Yu Antong, responding, wrapped his arms around his neck, choosing not to delve deeper into the emotion.

...

Upon seeing the luxurious clothes that had been worn only once now ruined, Xing Lixuan kissed Yu Antong's smooth shoulder, possessively stating, "You are not to wear such outfits on stage again."

"I get it, enough, my love~ Spare me," Yu Antong pleaded with a sugary, muffled tone, trying to wriggle free from the sheets.

Xing Lixuan gripped his ankle, pulling him back, "I fear you might forget; perhaps we should reinforce the memory."

Eventually, Yu Antong lay limply in Xing Lixuan's embrace, barely managing to open his eyes, mumbling his playful complaint, "Stinky husband~ So wicked."

For the school cultural festival, Yu Antong invited Xing Lixuan to watch his performance, mainly so that he could take him home afterwards.

The performance began at 7 pm, with Yu Antong's class scheduled mid-program.

After a slew of repetitive song and dance numbers, the audience, weary from the monotony, were half-watching, half-scrolling on their phones.

Suddenly, the ambiance changed as the iconic theme from the classic 1986 version of "Journey to the West" began to play.

The unmistakably familiar and captivating rhythm immediately grabbed the audience's attention.

Xing Lixuan settled into a corner, having changed into casual clothes after work. He blended in with the university crowd, his entire focus on Yu Antong.

On stage, Yu Antong donned a bright yellow robe, his refined features exuding an aura of regal grandeur, as if he truly were a monarch.

Although different from the red ensemble he wore that night, both looks were equally captivating, making it impossible to look away.

"That queen is so cool! Are they a guy or a girl?"

"The host just mentioned it's a cross-dressing performance, so it must be a guy."

Yu Antong barely wore any makeup. Originally, for the cross-dressing role, they planned to put makeup on him. However, the committee member in charge, looking at Yu Antong's delicate features, was hesitant. Suddenly inspired, she said, "Why bother with makeup? Antong is our show's face. Just with that face, even without any lines, he'll surely get us votes."

As it turned out, she was right. Regardless of the content, a good face attracts attention. The students in the audience began murmuring and discussing.

One male student even exclaimed, "Oh no, I'm smitten with the queen. I can't call myself the universe's top straight guy anymore. I've turned."

"How have I never noticed such a handsome guy in our school before?"

"I know him! That's Yu Antong from the Business Management class."

"I'm going to ask him for his WeChat later."

"Hold on, wasn't he the guy trending on Weibo with sixty million mentions?"

"Right, now that you mention it, I remember too."

The girl wanting his WeChat suddenly glanced at her monthly bills and wailed, "Oh, I'm six hundred in debt. Forget the WeChat, I'm not worthy!"

...

After his performance, Yu Antong went backstage to change and messaged Xing Lixuan.

[Honey, wait for me at the entrance.]

Although there was an awards ceremony afterward, he decided to leave early.

He had spotted Xing Lixuan while he was on stage. Tall and handsome, making everyone else around him look like mere backdrops. Worthy of being his man.

Yu Antong exited through the backstage door and made his way to the front. Immediately, he saw Xing Lixuan, hands in pockets, standing under a streetlamp.

With light steps, Yu Antong ran towards him, whispering, "Honey."

Xing Lixuan: "Ready to leave?"

Yu Antong replied, "The moon is so beautiful tonight. Walk with me around campus?"

"What's there to see?"

"Come on~"

Yu Antong insisted on touring the campus but soon complained about being tired and asked Xing Lixuan to carry him, "My feet hurt, I can't walk anymore. Honey, carry me."

"No."

Yu Antong, acting stubborn, squatted down, "Then I won't move."

"Stay there if you want." Xing Lixuan didn't want to spoil him and tried to walk away, but Yu Antong grabbed onto his legs and wouldn't let go.

Looking down, Xing Lixuan saw Yu Antong blinking up at him, feigning innocence.

"I've had enough of you. Come on up."

Yu Antong jumped onto Xing Lixuan's back with a smug tone, "Should've done this sooner, right?"

"Who could put up with you?"

"I'm so handsome and adorable. Isn't spoiling me the least you can do?" Yu Antong said with a hint of arrogance, directing Xing Lixuan, "Turn right. The shortcut is faster. Through the Maple Forest, we can reach the parking lot directly."

After a few steps, Yu Antong whispered, "Honey, do you hear anything?"

Xing Lixuan paused, listened closely, and then quickened his pace, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Yu Antong, who didn't live on campus and had never wandered around at night, was unaware that their school's Maple Forest was colloquially known among students as the "Lover's Forest", a popular evening spot for dating couples.

"You're being unfair," huffed Yu Antong, "I only wanted to take a shortcut so you wouldn't tire out carrying me. No good deed goes unpunished, huh?"

Xing Lixuan retorted, "If you're worried about me, then get off."

As they approached the parking lot, Yu Antong confidently replied, "Fine, I will."

The two returned home amidst playful banter. Yu Antong flopped onto the sofa and ordered Xing Lixuan, "Honey, I'm hungry. Can you make me some noodles?"

"I'll take a shower first." Thinking he knew Yu Antong's character well, Xing Lixuan headed to the bathroom.

Yu Antong was puzzled, "It's just noodles. A hand wash should suffice. Why a full shower? It's not like you need to cleanse and burn incense for the occasion."

Xing Lixuan, with a stern face, emerged, "Are you really hungry?"

"Of course I am. I only had two pan-fried buns tonight..." Yu Antong suddenly realized the potential double entendre in his words, "What did you think?"

Yu Antong burst into laughter, "You didn't think I was implying something else, did you? Oh my, your mind's in the gutter!"

Xing Lixuan was almost driven mad by him, "Cook for yourself."

"Please, honey, I promise I won't tease. I'm really tired from the rehearsals." Yu Antong said.

Xing Lixuan replied, "You never like what I make."

"I do, I love everything you make. I promise to behave." Yu Antong turned on his charm effortlessly.

It's funny how he could infuriate someone in one moment and then be so endearing the next.

Whenever they were home, Yu Antong would always ask Xing Lixuan to assist him in cooking. Over time, Xing Lixuan's culinary skills noticeably improved.

After finishing his meal, Yu Antong, uncharacteristically calm, took out his textbooks and began studying.

Compared to other universities, the most challenging part about a University was that some subjects even had midterm exams!

Yu Antong had essentially been slacking off for half the semester. Learning about the midterms nearly knocked the wind out of him. Left with no choice, he had to cram.

For the upcoming week, Yutan was swamped with work. An editor from a gourmet magazine, having tasted the exquisite dishes of the "Fairy Feast", wanted to invite Yutan for a food interview. However, he postponed everything for now, focusing on surviving his finals week. Even Xing Lixuan found himself pushed aside for the time being.

After finishing his last exam and stepping out of the classroom, Yutan felt rejuvenated. At lunch, he rubbed his neck and mentioned to Han Lele, “I’ve been hunched over my books so much recently, I feel like I’m getting a stiff neck.”

“Who hasn’t?” Han Lele remarked, then had a sudden thought, “Let’s go for a massage. I know this great place; you feel so relaxed after, it’s like all your worries melt away.”

“Let's go.” Yutan quickly finished his meal and followed Han Lele to the massage parlor.

The place Han Lele referred to appeared to be a lavish spa. Having only been there once with his older brother, when asked by the receptionist what package they wanted, Han Lele opted for the “2999” package.

He recalled his brother choosing that particular package the last time.

Guided by a waitress in a short skirt, they were led through a hallway to a private room. "Our masseuses will be with you shortly. Please wait a moment," she said.

Lying on the massage table, Yutan's thoughts wandered to some infamous venues, and jokingly asked Han Lele, “Are you sure this place is legitimate? What if it’s raided?”

Han Lele chuckled, “Imagine the headline: ‘Innocent College Student Caught in Raid After Finals’. Whether it’s a failing of our education system or…” He laughed at his own joke before adding, “Relax, I've been here before. I happened to see my brother and his friends here when I passed by once, so I joined them for a massage.”

Shortly after, two female masseuses entered. As Yutan found the massage a bit painful, he struck up a conversation to distract himself, “Is it always this busy?”

One of the masseuses replied, sliding her fingers, “It’s quieter at this time. Usually, it gets busier in the evening when people finish work, and we typically don’t get any inspectors around then.”

Yutan felt something was off about that statement but brushed it off, thinking perhaps all massage parlors are prone to inspections.

When he felt the masseuse's hand move towards his leg, Yutan quickly said, “Just focus on the neck and shoulders, please.”

...

Two hours later, Yutan and Han Lele found themselves at a police station giving their statements.

Both were too stunned to speak. They never anticipated this turn of events.

The place they went to was not a regular spa at all.

At the station, Han Lele angrily called his brother.

Upon hearing the news, Han Xingyan immediately sensed trouble, “Lele, did you go there again?”

Nearly in tears, Han Lele responded, “Yes, and I got arrested! Bro, what's going on?”

Han Xingyan remained silent.

Previously, Han Lele had bumped into him and a friend at that venue discussing business. To deceive the kid, he said they were just there for massages. When Han Lele expressed interest, he discreetly arranged a legitimate massage session for him.

Little did he know that Han Lele would revisit the place and, coincidentally, at a time when the spa's owner had some enemies.

Han Xingyan hurriedly reached out to his contacts to bail the two out.

Yutan didn’t dare to return home, fearing that Xing Lixuan, upon hearing the news, might impulsively strangle him.

Han Lele, on the other hand, was more inclined to strangle his own brother.

Xing Lixuan was stupefied upon receiving Qi Jingyao's call, stating that Yu Antong had been arrested for soliciting a prostitute.

Doubting his own ears, Xing Lixuan asked, "What did you just say? Repeat that for me."

Qi Jingyao nearly choked with laughter at the sheer absurdity of Yu Antong and Han Lele's situation, replying, "Check the news yourself."

BronzeEyes_1919v: Local police raid illicit bathhouse, arresting over 20, including two college students, Yu and Han, who claim they were merely there for a massage, oblivious to the establishment's secret affairs... [Video Link]

Typically, just another piece of local news, a prominent social media influencer stumbled upon it, laughing uncontrollably. He immediately shared the video.

MemeOfTheDay_v: Promise me you'll watch this, I'm dying of laughter…

The video captures a perplexed Yu Antong and Han Lele being apprehended by police as they burst in. Han Lele struggles, exclaiming, “Officers, we're just here for a massage, there's been a misunderstanding!"

A stern-faced policeman retorts, “Everyone claims they've been wronged when they're caught. How many are actually innocent?”

Predictably, all the other detained men chimed in, "We've been wronged too."

Surprisingly, it's the female "masseuse" who vouches for Yu Antong and Han Lele's innocence.

During questioning, she remarks, "That young man genuinely didn't expect any special services. He kept dodging my advances."

"At first, I thought he was playing hard to get."

Officer: “Why did you think that?”

Masseuse: “Because they chose the pricey 2999 package, which typically includes...additional services. And some customers like to role-play.”

“Later, when I tried to approach him again, he immediately backed off, wanting to leave. That’s when I realized he was genuinely there just for a massage. Then you (police) arrived. That's the entire story.”

...

XiaoMingStudent: The comedic news of the year seems to be starting early. ?

JiuFengMountain: Even the reporting officer in the video was trying hard to stifle his laughter.

AloeWater: We're professionally trained, so we usually don't laugh. But this one? Irresistible, hahaha~

XiaoZhe: I always knew it! As the year ends, the bizarre news count goes up.

SouthernNoodles: LOL! This sets a high bar for other contenders.

Though Yu Antong and Han Lele's faces were pixelated in the video, the blurring was sloppy. Several transitions left them recognizable. Soon, students from University A recognized them, prompting further shares.

DouDouCat: I watched multiple times, and yes, he's definitely from our uni. Oh, the misfortune!

TouchFluffy: Other universities have internet celebrities known for their looks or talents. Who would've thought our uni's celeb would rise to fame through comedic news?

StormyRange: Isn't that the heartthrob from our Business Management department? Look at what the midterm exams did to him!

TopStudent: Midterms wreak havoc. I propose University A abolishes them.

GuluLulu: I have a video of this same guy performing at our uni's cultural fest. He's brilliant! DM me if you want to see.

High-Replica Account: Could you all save some face for the young man? You've literally stripped him down to his underwear.

I'm the Devil: Stop spreading that the young man's real name from A University's Financial Management program is Yu Antong. I said, stop!

Devil in Me: Haha, we didn't know he's from A University's Financial Management and his real name is Yu Antong. Truly, we didn't.

In the end, even A University's official social media shared the news, reminding students that mid-term exams are challenging, and one should be cautious about relaxing massages.

Yu Antong, with shaking hands, answered the call from Xing Lixuan, his voice feeble, "Hello?"

Xing Lixuan sneered, "Impressive! Last time, you sneaked to a club, and now, directly to a brothel?"

Upon hearing Xing Lixuan's tone, Yu Antong knew he was aware of the incident. He cried, "No, I just wanted a massage. Why is my life so hard?"

Xing Lixuan's voice was icy, "Where are you now?"

Yu Antong: "I'm at Han Lele's place. Are you coming to get me?"

Xing Lixuan didn't respond and hung up the phone.

Yu Antong anxiously sent him his location.

Half an hour later, Xing Lixuan picked him up.

"Husband, I'm so ashamed," Yu Antong sobbed as he threw himself into Xing Lixuan's arms, "Everyone knows I was 'caught in a brothel'."

"Only now you cry," Xing Lixuan's voice was frosty, "You didn't inform me about the incident and dared not to come home!"

What truly angered him was that Yu Antong didn't turn to him for help and even avoided him. Had Yu Antong sought him out immediately, he would've ensured the incident didn't make the news, saving Yu Antong the embarrassment.

Yu Antong never anticipated this would make headlines. Just recently, he had outsmarted his rivals, only to find himself in a police station. Shen Bailing must be laughing so hard now.

"I was afraid you'd be mad," Yu Antong said softly.

Xing Lixuan: "I'm even angrier now."

Yu Antong attempted to pull away, thinking how Xing Lixuan could be so harsh and not even comfort him.

"Stay still," Xing Lixuan said, pulling him close, his tone softening slightly, "You really are a handful."

Xing Lixuan realized he might be falling for this fool. Why else would he be so upset? All this strong emotion was because he cared about him.

Stroking Yu Antong's hair, Xing Lixuan comforted, "It's okay. I'll have the news taken down. People will forget in a few days."

Yu Antong snuggled into him, whimpering in agreement, "Mhm."

As someone transplanted into this story, Yu Antong once imagined he'd be a huge success, a household name, even a big shot in the culinary world.

But he never imagined becoming famous like this, known by everyone through such a scandal.

It's incredibly tough for him, truly, so very tough.

Life, that relentless beast, spares no one; he may never find joy again.

The next morning, Xing Li Xuan urged Yu An Tong to get up for school. Lying down, Yu An Tong shook his head, much like a child reluctant to attend kindergarten, "I won’t go. I don't want to attend school anymore; they'll mock me."

Xing Li Xuan, feeling helpless, decided to let him be and pinched Yu An Tong's nose, "Get up for breakfast in a bit."

Yu An Tong replied gloomily, "Hmm."

After a while, Yu An Tong called Han Le Le, the so-called 'sinner of the ages'. His voice was deep, reminiscent of a brooding villain, "Have you gone to school? Are people gathering around you?"

Although Han Le Le didn’t really want to attend school due to the many recognizing him, to atone for his mistakes, he felt compelled to follow the victim, Yu's instructions and check the situation at school.

Han Le Le wore a mask and had even changed his hairstyle overnight. With the onset of cooler weather, many wore masks, and no one seemed to recognize him on campus.

Reporting to the 'victim', Han Le Le said, "I'm at school. So far, no one has noticed me. I seem to blend in as just an ordinary, innocent college guy," instead of the unfortunate fellow from the news.

Yu An Tong breathed a sigh of relief, coming to terms with the realization: no matter the online ridicule, in real life, everyone carries on, not paying much attention to others.

Taking a deep breath, Han Le Le entered the classroom, keeping his head down, and found an empty seat.

Masks weren't ideal in a classroom, and especially not in this smaller class setting. As soon as Han Le Le removed his mask, the class representative’s loud voice called out to him.

"Le Le! I was just wondering who that was. I thought someone entered the wrong class. Turns out it was you! Changed your hairstyle? Was it because of that news piece? Hahaha, sorry, I can't help but laugh seeing you."

Next came the empathetic student welfare officer, "Le Le, are you okay?"

The student welfare officer genuinely tried to express concern but couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Le Le, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. Don't take it to heart."

Other classmates also gathered around, chattering with concern, "Where's Yu An Tong? Is he attending class today?"

Han Le Le hadn’t ended the call, and Yu An Tong heard everything. He retreated into himself once more.

With a heavy heart, Yu An Tong ended the call and started looking up the procedure to take a leave of absence from school when Fu Xin called.

Fu Xin was the professional manager hired by Yu An Tong to manage his company. After some time observing him, Yu An Tong believed Fu Xin to be extremely capable and ambitious—exactly who he wanted at the helm of his company.

Assuming Fu Xin was calling to discuss opening a new branch, Yu An Tong immediately asked, "Found a suitable location?"

Fu Xin replied, "Yes, but that's not why I called."

Yu An Tong, puzzled, asked, "What then? What else can a workaholic like you discuss other than work?"

Fu Xin: "Considering your recent media attention, I believe we can use this to our advantage. With the current buzz, we can promote the new chili sauce of 'Xian Ren Banquet'."

Yu An Tong: "..." He suddenly felt like firing him.

Yu An Tong exclaimed, "You're inhuman! All you see are dollar signs, without a care for your employer's well-being!"

"No, listen to me, boss." Fu Xin spoke with measured calmness. "The best way to make people forget about something is to create a new narrative. If we use this chance to promote our product, soon people will only remember you as the founder of Fairy Feast, a culinary genius, and a remarkable young entrepreneur, and they won't recall..."

Fu Xin tactfully left the rest unsaid.

Yu An Tong was somewhat skeptical. "Really?"

Fu Xin responded, "I've consulted with experts, and they all believe this approach can work."

Yu An Tong felt he had nothing left to fear. Having been publicly humiliated once, what could be worse? Might as well make a last-ditch effort.

He remarked, "Alright, but let's not go overboard painting my image. I'm not in the entertainment business. 'Culinary genius' sounds a bit over the top."

Yu An Tong decided to temporarily hold off on his leave of absence. However, he did request a few days off from his counselor, who surprisingly granted the leave without hesitation, advising him to adjust his mindset, as life is long and minor setbacks aren't the end of the world.

During these school-free days, Yu An Tong poured himself into his business, channeling his anguish into innovation, introducing several new dishes to Fairy Feast's menu.

Promoting chili sauce isn't as straightforward as launching a restaurant. If a restaurant has great taste, it can quickly attract customers. But the chili sauce market is dominated by a couple of popular brands. Most people are used to them and reluctant to switch.

Plus, Yu An Tong's commitment to high-quality ingredients meant his chili sauce had higher production costs, making it pricier than others on the market and harder to win customers over.

To gain traction, Fairy Feast rolled out a month-long promotion where diners would receive a free bottle of their branded chili sauce.

Inside the restaurant, a regular asked a server, "Young lady, are you still offering the complimentary chili sauce with meals?"

The server smiled, "Yes, the promotion runs until the end of this month."

"That's great! I got a bottle the last time I dined here, and it was so flavorful and spicy. My son took it with him to school. Can I purchase the sauce separately? I'd feel guilty just getting it as a freebie every time."

The server responded, "Yes, you can. We haven’t started selling it in stores yet, but you can scan this QR code to download our exclusive app."

She pointed to an advertisement on the wall, "New users get a 50% discount on their first order, and soon we'll be adding more products like bean paste and sweet soybean paste for sale."

"Oh, I'll check it out then."

A diner at a nearby table overheard and said, "I’ll download it too."

With the era of 5G, downloading an app is a breeze. A half-price deal is too good to pass up, and if they no longer want the app, uninstalling is easy.

Fu Xin's online marketing strategy was proving effective. Initially, netizens were just poking fun.

"This guy’s got some nerve. After all that happened, he’s still advertising. Total alpha move."

"Checked it out. A 260g bottle for 29.8? That's pricey. Being good-looking doesn’t mean you can rip people off, dude."

"Marketing genius! Destined for greatness!"

A few days later, the tone started to shift as a prominent food blogger posted a review.

DelightfulDishesV: Initially, I just wanted to try one bottle. But after tasting it, it's absolutely delicious. My wife and I finished one bottle with just bread in two days, so I immediately bought five more to stock up. It's medium-spicy, with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, making it great with meals. Unlike some other brands that leave you picking out chili skins and seeds, this one's smooth and doesn't get stuck in your teeth. Highly recommend for spice lovers.

Little Chili: As a die-hard spice lover, I rushed to get it the moment I heard. It's honestly delicious. I bought an entire box and brought it home. So thrilled! Teehee.

Daily Delight: Got a bottle. Both my son and daughter wanted to take it to school. They almost fought over it! Promised to get more. Sadly, it's only available online, so there's a wait for the delivery.

Bound Ancient Tree: Lucky for those who managed to grab it. I was too late and missed out. A tough guy, but still shed a tear.

Only Drink Milk Tea: How tasty can a chili sauce be? These endorsements feel too staged.

Plum Blossom Verse: To those doubters, thanks! Less competition for me. Maybe I can grab more bottles next time.

Fu Xin even registered the official "Xian Ren Yan" account.

Xian Ren Yan Official: The next batch of chili sauce will be available in 10 days. But, there's a limited stock at our restaurant. Dine in and get a free bottle!

Lemon Sis: Who'd have thought I'd leave my cozy home for a chili sauce? But the food there is also insanely delicious. They seriously need to offer delivery!

Rub-A-Tummy: Right, right! All of you are talking about the chili sauce, but let's not forget how fragrant the dishes in the restaurant are!

Canned Fish: Currently at the restaurant, showing off! [picture]

Bun Lover: Seeing your photos, the bun in my hand suddenly lost its appeal. Tears.

Yu An Tong browsed through the comments. Everyone was discussing "Xian Ren Yan", seems like they've forgotten that matter.

Rejuvenated, Yu An Tong called Fu Xin, "Great job! I'll give you a double year-end bonus."

"Thanks, boss," Fu Xin replied, "But most of the credit goes to General Xin."

"By General Xin, do you mean Xin Li Xuan?" Yu An Tong asked in confusion, "What does he have to do with this?"

Yu An Tong recalled that it was Xin Li Xuan who introduced Fu Xin to him.

Fu Xin explained, "The current comments are genuine, but initially, there were internet shills swaying the narrative. We've also contacted major influencers—they might not praise you, but they shouldn’t smear you either."

"For a mere manager like me, orchestrating all this would be impossible. It was General Xin who managed everything."

When did that rascal start being so helpful?

After the call, Yu An Tong pondered. Despite Xin Li Xuan's sharp tongue, he had always been kind.

He scampered from the bedroom to the living room, leaping into Xin Li Xuan's arms and showered his face with kisses.

Both collapsed onto the sofa. Xin Li Xuan frowned, "What's gotten into you?"

Yu An Tong said, "Thank you."

A seemingly random thanks, but Xin Li Xuan understood, replying coldly, "I merely didn't want you to tarnish the Xin family's reputation."

I knew it!

Yu An Tong playfully retorted, "I'm in a good mood today, so let's crown you the favored consort for the night."

"You're quite something." Xing Lixuan chuckled, "Just don't cry later."

Having not been intimate for several days, both were quite exhilarated, expressing their passion twice in succession.

After lying side by side and resting for a moment, Yu Antong rolled over, nestling into Xing Lixuan's embrace, while also draping Xing's other arm over his waist.

Xing Lixuan didn't mind, allowing him to do as he wished.

Yu Antong nestled even deeper into Xing Lixuan's embrace, admiring the man's sturdy muscles and reflecting on their recent passion, he praised, "Husband, you're amazing. I felt like I was losing my mind; it was heavenly."

With that, Yu Antong shifted a bit downwards, lifting his head to show his eyes to Xing Lixuan, asking, "Do my eyes look red? I actually teared up just now."

With a hint of coyness, he remarked, "Mean husband, always knowing how to torment me."

Xing Lixuan looked down at Yu Antong's naturally upturned eyes. Now, they appeared a bit misty, and his long eyelashes were still moist with tiny tears.

The dried tear streaks on his pale face were all too visible, evoking a strong protective urge in the onlooker.

Xing Lixuan swallowed hard, making a move.

"Ah!" Yu Antong let out a cry, his voice a mix of reluctance and anticipation, "Again?"

Author's note: Tongtong: Life is as naughty as Xing Lixuan!
