TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 47

Chapter 45: Hokkaido Trip

Qi Yanwang pushed the door open, and Zhuo Huaimo was rubbing his temples in front of the computer screen.

The voice of the General Counsel of Legal Affairs came from the speakerphone,

“The safe code is only known to you and the three main creators…”

He suddenly stopped, because Qi Yanwang’s fingertips brushed the back of Zhuo Huaimo’s neck.

“Drink some warm water!”

Qi Yanwang pushed the glass to his hand, and closed the laptop.

“You’ve been investigating all night, don’t you want your cervical spine anymore?”

His palm covered his stiff shoulders and neck, kneading with just the right amount of force.

Qi Yanwang caught a glimpse of several real estate certificates and bank cards on the coffee table, his movements clearly paused, and he turned to ask him,

“What are you looking for these for? Haven’t we already agreed today?”

Zhuo Huaimo gently rotated his neck,

“Tomorrow I will go and sign the contract with Liu Jinchen’s legal team,”

Zhuo Huaimo said lightly, “You do what you should do, and don’t interfere!”

“I said, use mine!”

Qi Yanwang suddenly turned him around to face himself,

“The three-month period hasn’t arrived yet, I’m still your man!”

Zhuo Huaimo couldn’t help laughing, raising his hand to caress his face,

“What? Teacher Qi, are you addicted to playing the domineering CEO?”

Qi Yanwang grabbed his wrist,

“I’m serious!”

“I know!”

Zhuo Huaimo pulled back his hand, his fingertips caressing the line of his lips,

“But those are all your entire net worth, and the company’s affairs have nothing to do with you in the first place, you don’t need to…”

“The company has nothing to do with me, but you have something to do with me!”

He looked at Zhuo Huaimo, his eyes burning, trying to find even a little bit of emotion in his calm eyes.

“Zhuo Huaimo, don’t make me feel like I’m a coward…”

Such a firm choice and fervent confession would move anyone, especially since the other person was someone he liked.

Zhuo Huaimo was slightly stunned, and said calmly,

“Get up early tomorrow, you drive!”

Turning around, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint arc.

He was once again grateful that the three-month period hadn’t passed yet, and that Qi Yanwang was still by his side at this moment.

On the other side, Xingyue Media’srefutation and statement, as well as Liu Jinchen’s public statement not to withdraw investment, caused many platforms to remove the trending searches about “Early Spring.”

Xingyue Media had temporarily weathered this crisis, and Zhuo Huaimo could breathe a sigh of relief.

Neither of them mentioned the last period of time together, but they tacitly calculated the days in their hearts.

Qi Yanwang lay on Zhuo Huaimo’s lap, his slender fingers casually swiping across the phone screen, tentatively suggesting,

“Let’s go on a trip!”

Zhuo Huaimo was taken aback, “Travel? Where to?”

“How about Hokkaido?”

Qi Yanwang instantly flipped over, lying on the sofa, his eyes shining,

“I went there to shoot on location last time, there’s a really nice onsen inn, I’ve always wanted to take you there!”

In fact, Zhuo Huaimo was tired of going to Hokkaido. He knew exactly which onsen inn Qi Yanwang was talking about just by hearing it.

If it were normal, he would have refused long ago.

However, Zhuo Huaimo wanted to leave some memories of the two of them. He thought, Qi Yanwang must be thinking the same thing.

But how could the always arrogant Princess Zhuo agree so easily? He just wanted to hear Qi Yanwang whine and beg him.

“The company has so many things to do lately! And…”

Qi Yanwang suddenly jumped up from the sofa and kissed him on the face with a “smack.”

“I’m going to pack my luggage, I’ll book the tickets right away! Don’t worry about anything!”

Qi Yanwang knew him too well. Just hearing this tone, he knew that—

Zhuo Huaimo was okay with it, he was willing!

The snow in Hokkaido covered the onsen inn’s courtyard like crushed diamonds.

Qi Yanwang wrapped his arms around Zhuo Huaimo from behind, his fingertips lifting his scarf to reveal the back of his neck,

“Teacher Zhuo, your ears are red from the cold.”

The hot air breathed on the sensitive spot made Zhuo Huaimo tremble slightly.

“Don’t mess around!” Zhuo Huaimo swatted his hand away, but Qi Yanwang stuffed it into a hand warmer.

The wind chimes under the corridor jingled, and Qi Yanwang suddenly pulled out two plain rings like a magic trick,

“The front desk said these are couple’s specials. Couples get a 10% discount!”

Zhuo Huaimo raised his eyebrows at him,

“Actor Qi, you still care about this little discount!”

Qi Yanwang looked at him with a straight face, “Of course I care, I care very much!”

He sat down next to Zhuo Huaimo and blinked as he put the ring on his hand,

“I’ve given you all my savings now, I only have change left in my pocket!”

He leaned close to Zhuo Huaimo’s ear and murmured softly,

“Now… I’m your creditor. If you can’t pay me back, you have to be my wife!”

As he spoke, he touched his lips, gently caressing them,

“I think you’re pretty good, pay yourself to me, and be my wife!”

Zhuo Huaimo naturally understood his little tricks, letting him fool around and indulging in it.

Outside the window, the snow was white, and the room was already full of spring.

The vermilion torii gate of Tsurumai Temple in Hokkaido was covered with fresh snow. Qi Yanwang dragged Zhuo Huaimo up the stone steps, and the snow accumulated on the pine branches rustled onto their shoulders.

“Why did you have to come to a place like this…”

Before Zhuo Huaimo could finish speaking, he was given an ema tied with a red ribbon.

“We’re already here, let’s pray!”

Zhuo Huaimo chuckled, “You really are the epitome of a Chinese person – ‘We’re already here!'”

He waved his hand and was about to walk back, “I don’t believe in these…”

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Yanwang carried him away,

“Then just accompany me, the love luck here is very effective!”

The stone lanterns in front of the main hall were lit with warm light, and Zhuo Huaimo stared blankly at the wind chimes on the eaves.

The Japanese gods were no more fond of him than the domestic ones.

Seven years ago, he didn’t believe in fate and ran from China to here, once again verifying that fate. That day… the snow was falling just as quietly.

“ごPrayはいかがですか？” (Would you like to pray?)

An old monk with white eyebrows suddenly appeared, and Zhuo Huaimo’s fingertips trembled.

Zhuo Huaimo’s breath hitched.

Seven years ago, it was this monk who interpreted his fortune and said that he was destined to be a lonely star of calamity and loneliness.

Zhuo Huaimo greeted the monk,

“おLongしぶりです” (Long time no see!)

The old monk suddenly stared at Zhuo Huaimo,

“starのpatrolりが可わったようですね.” (The trajectory of the stars seems to have changed!)

At this moment, the old monk’s gaze fell on his neck – where Qi Yanwang had left a bite mark last night.

Zhuo Huaimo subconsciously touched his neck, glanced at Qi Yanwang, who was bouncing around tying red marriage ropes over there, and said with a smile,

“YoudaとA longにComeました。HeはここをSeeにComeたかったんです。” (I came with a friend, he wanted to see it!)

The old monk smiled, “Who（かれし）？” (Boyfriend?)

At this moment, Qi Yanwang, who had just finished tying the marriage rope, saw Zhuo Huaimo chatting happily with the old monk, and trotted over.

Zhuo Huaimo didn’t want him to know about his “fate,” so he said goodbye to the old monk and turned to leave.

“Hey, don’t go! Let’s chat for a while longer!”

Qi Yanwang grabbed Zhuo Huaimo’s wrist, bowed to the old monk, and turned to ask him,

“What were you two talking about just now?”

Zhuo Huaimo glared at him, deliberately teasing him,

“Master, told me to stay away from you!”

“Nonsense!”

Qi Yanwang pinched his red cheeks from the cold,

“You just know how to fool me all day!”

“Hey, hey, it hurts!”

Zhuo Huaimo slapped his hand away, “Don’t believe me? Ask yourself?”

He relied on the fact that Qi Yanwang didn’t understand Japanese at all, made a “please” gesture, and watched the show with his hands in his pockets.

Qi Yanwang was so angry that he pinched the back of his neck affectionately, turned to look at the host, and said,

“こんにちは、privateはHeのDanna（だんな）です。” (Hello, I’m his husband!)

Qi Yanwang’s Japanese was so standard that it sounded like his mother tongue. Zhuo Huaimo was stunned and stared at him blankly.

The old monk’s eyes wandered between the two of them, and a meaningful smile appeared.

Zhuo Huaimo quickly explained,

“いいえ、Disagree（ちが）います。” (No, that’s not right!)

The old monk turned to look at Zhuo Huaimo,

“おめでとうございます、Zhuoさん。Heはあなたの[Translation Error]をcutりcrackくedge（やいば）になるpossibilityがhighいです！” (Congratulations, Mr. Zhuo, he is very likely to be the blade that cuts off your fate!)

Qi Yanwang didn’t understand the situation, but as soon as he heard the word “cut off,” he immediately became unhappy and hurriedly said to the old monk,

“cutりcrackかないでください。privateたちがbegめているのはcutりcrackくことではなく、completelyにDizzyりpayける、ExtremelyにLeaveさないようにDizzyりpayけるんです。わかりますか？”

(Please don’t cut it off. What we want is not to cut it off, but to lock it tightly, tie it up so that it can never be separated, understand?)

Zhuo Huaimo felt that he was too embarrassing and pulled him away.

Behind them came the old monk’s exhortation,

“Finished（きずな）はMumい（のろい）よりもdeepいものだ.” (Bonds are deeper than curses!)

Qi Yanwang skipped and hopped behind him.

“That monk said that with this, the two of us can be together for the rest of our lives!”

He put the purchased marriage amulet into his coat pocket while trying to avoid eye contact with Zhuo Huaimo.

“The rest of our lives!”

For the two who were about to break up in a dozen days, it was both heavy and funny.

“Qi Yanwang…” Zhuo Huaimo called him softly.

“Hmm?”

Qi Yanwang’s eyes were red, and he looked very busy adjusting his scarf for him, always avoiding his eyes.

Zhuo Huaimo had the words on the tip of his tongue, but he still didn’t know how to say them.

“Okay, now it’s not cold!”

He stepped down two steps and squatted down,

“Come on, I’ll carry you back!”

Zhuo Huaimo didn’t speak again and silently lay on his back.

The silver snow was like floss, the sky and earth were dependent on each other, and Qi Yanwang seemed to be carrying his whole world, walking very carefully every step.

A dream…

Then let it last a little longer!

Zhuo Huaimo didn’t want to spoil the fun and whispered in his ear,

“おtiredれSpicyでした、privateのloveしいpeople！” (Thank you for your hard work, my beloved!)

Qi Yanwang’s breath hitched, he pursed his lips and smiled lightly. The marriage at Tsurumai Temple was indeed effective.

The hot spring in the small courtyard of the room was steaming with sulfur, and Zhuo Huaimo was lost in thought in the moonlight.

The old monk’s words kept echoing in his mind,

“He will become the knife to kill you, and also the sheath to protect you…”

Adults in the dark desperately want to chase the light once they see it.

Zhuo Huaimo was the same, a thing called “luck” was quietly growing.

The water behind him suddenly rippled, and Qi Yanwang came up to him with a camellia in his mouth, very flirtatious.

When Zhuo Huaimo turned around, he was just encircled in his arms, and seeing him like this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

He gently took off the camellia,

“Aren’t you too childish?”

Qi Yanwang hugged him, rubbing against each other,

“I just prayed for marriage, the god said that sincerity is effective, I want to be effective!”

Zhuo Huaimo patted his head with the flower, “I want to call 110!”

“110 is useless, we’re abroad. By the time they get here, I’ll probably be full!”

“Can you be full?”

The warm spring water surrounded them, and the heat blurred the lust in their eyes.

Qi Yanwang held the back of his head with one hand, tore off the bath towel around his lower body, and flipped him over against the hot spring rock wall…

“Click—”

The lens behind the partition of the small courtyard accurately captured the scene of the two Top-Tier Idols kissing…
