Chapter 38: 2B Combination, A Match Made in Heaven

That fever last time wasn’t really Shao Chengxi’s fault; Shu Jingcheng misunderstood.

Unexpectedly, Shao Yuanheng’s screw-up was blamed on Shao Chengxi.

But it wasn’t entirely unfair. If Shu Lin’s family knew about it, Shao Chengxi would be their primary target.

He wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility either.

Shu Lin thought about it carefully. No wonder his father and Shao Chengxi looked strange when he and his sister returned with groceries that day.

They had an indescribably awkward expression.

Shao Chengxi looked at Shu Lin, who was burying his face like an ostrich, and laughed unrestrainedly.

After a while, Shu Lin, putting on a brave front, said, “Actually, my dad’s right. You should be more restrained.”

Shao Chengxi narrowed his eyes dangerously, “Oh? That little mouth can’t go around saying things, baby.”

Shu Lin stuck his tongue out at him and made a gesture of zipping his lips shut.

Shao Chengxi was amused by him and pinched his fair and tender cheeks affectionately, “Such a baby. How can you be so cute?”

“Don’t touch my face. It’s getting red.”

“I will.”

“Aiya, don’t touch, don’t touch.”

“I will, I will…”

“Annoying!”

“I’m annoying, I’m annoying…”

The two childish spirits bickered endlessly.

When they calmed down, Shu Lin nestled in Shao Chengxi’s arms and was about to fall asleep when he heard him say, “Baby, actually, I wanted to talk to my father about something else.”

Something important regarding his career.

Shu Lin yawned and mumbled, “Wh-what is it?”

Shao Chengxi gently twirled his earlobe, talking casually, occasionally being mischievous, pinching his nose, and provoking him to half-open his eyes and whine, hitting his hand.

Afterward, low laughter filled the bedroom.

The night deepened, and the two slept embraced.

The next day was the first working day after the holiday. When Shu Lin woke up, Shao Chengxi was long gone.

He felt the spot next to him. It was already cold.

It seemed he had left very early.

Shu Lin also had work to do.

The big IP dubbing project he participated in last semester needed to meet the deadline, and he had to go to the production team in the afternoon.

In this project, Shu Lin wasn’t the main character.

He dubbed a supporting role, a villain known as “Enchanting” – Ye Wuhen.

This character was highly controversial in the original work.

On the surface, he was the feared leader of the demonic sect, ruthless and murderous, but deep down, he harbored an unknown past.

He was once a disciple of a righteous sect but was expelled due to a conspiracy and fell into the demonic path.

The character’s personality was complex and contradictory, with both a cold and ruthless side and an obsession with the past and pain.

Although the scenes weren’t many, they were very powerful, and if dubbed well, it would be easy to shine.

Shu Lin valued this opportunity very much.

When he arrived at the production team in the afternoon, Gu Xiao was also there, chewing on a lollipop. He ran over excitedly when he saw him.

“Bao, I missed you so much.” It was Gu Xiao’s classic opening line, then he elbowed Shu Lin, “How was it? How much lucky money did you get this year?”

This was a must-ask question between the two after the Spring Festival holiday.

Shu Lin lowered his head to organize the script, secretly happy.

He received so much lucky money this year that it would scare Gu Xiao to death.

Shao Chengxi said that he would have this much lucky money to receive every year from now on.

Until, until he became a father.

That would be many years from now.

Shu Lin tried to suppress the corners of his mouth: “Not much, just, about the same as in previous years.”

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say.

Gu Xiao’s face fell, “Me too. I was hoping to have a breakthrough in lucky money this year. All my kowtowing to relatives was useless.”

Shu Lin shook his head. His kowtows were very valuable.

“Bao, what are you smiling about by yourself? Huh? Something’s not right. After the New Year, you look radiant. Your face looks so moisturized.” Gu Xiao impolitely raised his hand to pinch his face.

Shu Lin knocked his hand away and dodged, “I’m not…”

“Shu Lin, how is the script coming along?”

A clear male voice came from behind them.

The two turned around. Dubbing director Lu Shanchuan was standing behind them.

Lu Shanchuan was an Alpha, not yet thirty. He was the one who selected Shu Lin and Gu Xiao through the school’s dubbing club.

When Shu Lin saw him, he turned around and smiled, “Sorry, Director, I haven’t finished reading it all yet. I’ll read it now.”

Lu Shanchuan smiled tolerantly, “It’s okay, it’s just the first day back at work. If you have any questions, I can help you mark the important points.”

Shu Lin waved his hand, “No need for now, thank you, Director.”

After speaking, Shu Lin gave Gu Xiao a look, preparing to go over the script together.

But Lu Shanchuan didn’t leave. He took a step closer, looked at Shu Lin, and said:

“Are you free tonight? It’s the first day back to work, so I’ll treat you to dinner and casually chat about the role you’re dubbing.”

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, deliberately took a step to the side, making room for Lu Shanchuan, with a watching-the-show smile on his face.

Shu Lin glanced at Gu Xiao, signaling him to come and help him out.

Seeing that he didn’t move, Shu Lin took half a step back awkwardly, “Sorry, tonight I…”

“He has a date with me tonight.” Gu Xiao stepped forward and put his arm around Shu Lin’s shoulder, pulling him over forcefully, “Director Lu, don’t you know? I’m Shu Lin’s boyfriend. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. My mom forced me to see relatives during the New Year.”

Lu Shanchuan’s face stiffened, “Really? I didn’t realize that. I remember you’re a Beta.”

Gu Xiao raised his chin and smiled, showing his teeth:

“That’s right, we’re a BO relationship, true love. I’m a Beta, and he’s a B-Class Omega. Put them together, and it’s a 2B combination, a match made in heaven. What do you say, Bao?”

“Hehe.” Shu Lin laughed dryly.

What the hell is a BO relationship, and a 2B combination?

With such a lame excuse, you might as well call it the Dumbass Combination.

Feeling the strength of Gu Xiao’s hand on his shoulder, Shu Lin said vaguely, “That, yeah, right…”

Lu Shanchuan forced a smile, “Then I wish you two well. Okay, hurry up and look at the script. We’ll try out the audio later.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Once Lu Chuan was far away, Gu Xiao immediately moved closer to Shu Lin, smiling gleefully, “Bao, at the beginning of the New Year, I nipped a big peach blossom in the bud for you. This dinner today… hehe.”

Shu Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I’ll treat, treat. Who told us we’re a match made in heaven, a 2B combination?”

Gu Xiao smiled triumphantly, “Hehe, look at my quick-wittedness, it’s simply amazing.”

Shu Lin rolled his eyes and hit him on the head with the script, annoyed, “Amazing my foot. It almost turned into a SB combination.”

After speaking, he said seriously, “Thank you, Gu Xiao. You’re always helping me like this, I really have to…”

Gu Xiao raised his hand to interrupt him:

“Hey, hey, didn’t I say it a long time ago? After I fell into the water in high school, you risked your life to save me, so I promised to be your flower-nipping envoy. It’s a matter of reciprocity. What’s there to thank? If I were an Alpha, maybe I would have given you my body in return. Hahaha.”

Shu Lin really couldn’t do anything with him, “Don’t talk nonsense after eating and drinking. There are too many people you’d give your body to in return. Let’s go, let’s go over the script first.”

They were still a CP in the drama, with many opposite scenes.
