Chapter 114: Reconciliation

The next morning, Shao Chengxi opened his eyes and found Shu Lin still facing away from him.

He pursed his lips slightly, moved closer, and wrapped his arms around the Omega from behind, his warm lips gently touching the back of Shu Lin’s neck.

“Mmm…” Shu Lin groaned in dissatisfaction in his sleep, instinctively trying to move away, and mumbled, “No… stop it…”

Shao Chengxi persisted, and Shu Lin was finally completely awakened, protesting groggily:

“Brother… I have a final exam this afternoon…”

The Alpha chuckled and nibbled at his earlobe:

“Who was it who said ‘one last time’ last night? And then clung to me and wouldn’t let go?”

The tips of Shu Lin’s ears instantly burned red, and he turned around to lightly hit him:

“It was obviously you who wouldn’t stop, making me have no time to review my lessons last night…”

His voice grew softer and softer, with a morning-specific gentleness.

Shao Chengxi took the opportunity to pin him down, brushing aside the stray hairs on his forehead:

“Want to cram at the last minute now? How about… I help you ‘cram’?”

His deliberately lowered voice was full of ambiguity.

“You’re really getting more and more shameless…”

Shu Lin buried his face in the pillow in embarrassment, but the Alpha turned him over and kissed him tenderly.

In the morning light, the two lingered for a long while, until Shu Lin’s phone alarm rang.

“Time to get up.” Shao Chengxi scooped him up and headed for the bathroom, “Let’s get my baby clean first, then he needs to cram at the last minute.”

In the warm water, Shao Chengxi washed Shu Lin’s hair while talking about business:

“Mu Zi and Director Chen have developed a new type of medicine based on your excess pheromone samples.”

“This medicine can effectively alleviate many pheromone-related symptoms.”

“If mass production is possible, it will benefit many patients. The Shao Group has decided to increase investment to promote the launch of this drug.”

“It’s just that the pheromone research sample is not enough. Mu Zi said that they still need to collect some from you. See when you have time, and I’ll accompany you…”

“I’ll go after the exam.” Shu Lin said without thinking, the foam dripping down his hair and gathering into a small puddle at his collarbone.

Shao Chengxi’s eyes darkened, and he restrained himself and kissed the skin there: “Don’t rush, baby, concentrate on the exam first.”

After Shao Chengxi went to work, Shu Lin spent the whole morning desperately trying to cram.

He didn’t dare say “cramming at the last minute.”

Otherwise, his mind would become sullied.

In the afternoon, Shu Lin arrived at the exam hall and happened to run into Gu Xiao waiting at the door.

Gu Xiao hadn’t seen Shu Lin for the past few days.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood because of the radio drama cuts, he deliberately teased him when he saw him, “Yo, baby, finally willing to come to the exam in person?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he spotted the hickey on Shu Lin’s neck and immediately widened his eyes:

“Holy crap, baby, you still have an exam today, and your Minister Shao was at it again last night, looking at the battle situation, it’s too, too…”

Shu Lin hurriedly pulled up his collar, his face burning, “Shut up! Stop talking, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go in first…”

Gu Xiao grinned and leaned closer: “Baby, looks like you guys reconciled. What about the radio drama thing…”

Shu Lin said anxiously, “Let’s take the exam first, we’ll talk about it after.”

After the exam, Shu Lin and Gu Xiao walked out of the teaching building side by side, their hearts finally relieved.

The facts proved that cramming at the last minute, oh no, temporarily grabbing feet, is useful. A high score is impossible, but at least he won’t fail.

In winter, the days are short. Just after five o’clock, the sunset was already visible.

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the two young men, stretching their figures very long.

Shu Lin suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Xiao: “Thank you, Gu Xiao. I only found out yesterday that you went to see the Grand Aunt because of my matter.”

Gu Xiao scratched his head, a little embarrassed:

“Oh, you’re making me uncomfortable by being so formal. I was just trying anything in desperation, casting a wide net and hoping for the best. So, did it work?”

“Yes, it worked.” Shu Lin’s eyes were slightly hot.

He remembered the scene last night when he returned to the Shao Residence from the Shu family feeling dejected, and Shao Tingrui suddenly called him over, and the three elders took turns enlightening him and supporting him.

It turned out that all this was related to Gu Xiao.

How fortunate he was to meet such a loyal friend.

Shu Lin still didn’t tell him the cause of the incident, only the result.

When he was reviewing his lessons at home in the morning, Wu Jie called.

He said that Shao Chengxi had specifically instructed him that whether to restore the deleted passion scenes, and how to restore them, would all be up to Shu Lin to decide in the future.

When Wu Jie asked Shu Lin’s opinion, he hesitated while holding the phone, only replying, “I’ll talk about it after the exam,” and then hung up.

Gu Xiao was overjoyed to hear that Shu Lin could make the decision.

The two hadn’t eaten together in a long time, and Shu Lin specially treated Gu Xiao to a big meal at the best restaurant near the school.

The two chatted while eating.

“Baby, since you can make the decision, just restore the deleted scenes, what are you still hesitating about?”

To be honest, Gu Xiao still couldn’t understand this deletion incident.

The radio dramas they recorded were all serious dramas, which had to pass a strict review by the platform before they could be broadcast.

Compared to those radio dramas with high levels of sexual content, theirs were simply pure dramas.

Shu Lin mostly wasn’t a lead role in the dramas, and his passion scenes weren’t many, and the level of explicitness was normal.

The passion scenes of the lead roles were much more explicit than his. If Shu Lin’s small amount of scenes had to be deleted, then the lead roles’ should be completely deleted.

If that were the case, they might as well take all these dramas off the shelves.

If their dramas should all be taken off the shelves, then there wouldn’t be a single drama that could be broadcast on the entire platform.

Therefore, he couldn’t understand why Shu Lin’s scenes were deleted.

Hearing Gu Xiao ask this, Shu Lin gave him a big chicken leg and said:

“Let’s put it aside for now, I don’t have time to worry about it now. I’ll talk about it after the exam. Anyway, it’s already been deleted, there’s no rush to restore it.”

Gu Xiao chewed on the chicken leg, “That’s true, as long as you have the final say, we’re not in a hurry.”

After dinner, the two went home separately to continue cramming for the upcoming final exams.

After the exams, Shu Lin took Gu Xiao to play at the South Mountain villa and told him his decision.

“What? You’re not restoring them at all? No, baby, why?” Gu Xiao jumped up from the sofa.

“Don’t get excited, sit down first,” Shu Lin pulled him down and poured him a glass of warm orange juice, “Let me tell you slowly.”

Gu Xiao’s chest rose and fell, and he tilted his head back and drank the glass of orange juice in one gulp, “You better give me a good reason.”

Shu Lin deliberated and opened his mouth:

“Firstly, the deletion incident has just subsided, and restoring them without any warning will cause unnecessary speculation again. I don’t want to be in the spotlight again.”

Gu Xiao crossed his arms and raised his chin, “Continue, secondly.”

“Secondly…” Shu Lin breathed out, “Secondly… Gu Xiao, have you heard the saying, ‘Once you enter the gates of a noble family, it’s as deep as the sea’? Although there are no noble families now, there are wealthy families. Which family do you think is the wealthiest family in the Empire?”

“There’s no need to ask, of course, it’s the century-old family, the Shao family, the family you married into.”

Shu Lin pursed his lips, nodded, and said seriously:

“So, when I do things now, I can’t just consider myself like before.”

“I also have to consider the possible impact on the Shao family, on my Alpha, especially since Shao Chengxi is in politics.”

“People in politics are, well, very sensitive, that… you understand…”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao lowered his arms, widened his eyes, and suddenly realized:

“Oh, no wonder your little passion scenes were suddenly deleted, so that’s what happened.”

As he spoke, he rested his chin on one hand, in a thinking posture:

“But, isn’t that a bit of a big deal?”

“Looking around, the major wealthy families and high-ranking officials of the Empire have many scandals every year, and aren’t they all real and doing it for real? What’s your thing?”

“Take Pei Yuan, who has already been imprisoned, for example. For many years as an official, he has always presented an image of a righteous gentleman, aloof and abstinent, but what about the result…”

“Baby, to tell you the truth, I still have the nude photos of him and the Omega he was keeping in my phone. Do you want to see them?”

Shu Lin’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

Gu Xiao: “Of course it’s true, tell me, do you want to see them or not?”

Shu Lin was eager to try, “I want to see, of course I want to see!”

“Want to see what?”

Shao Chengxi’s voice came from the door.
