    Chapter 69: Pei Huaixue’s Identity is Revealed

    Chapter Sixty-Nine

    After the wedding concluded, Pei Huaixue took a shower and comfortably lay down on the large hotel bed, scrolling through the wedding photos taken that day.

    He was satisfied with every single one.

    After meticulously selecting dozens of pictures, he happily posted them on his Douyin account. The moment they went live, they instantly garnered over ten thousand likes.

    The comments were a uniform chorus of “Happy Wedding.”

    When Gu Minghe emerged from the shower, he saw his Husband giggling at his phone. He leaned closer, kissed Pei Huaixue’s cheek, and naturally rested his large hand on Pei Huaixue’s waist, pulling him into an embrace. He asked, “What are you looking at that makes you so happy?”

    Pei Huaixue showed him the phone screen. “I’m looking at our wedding photos from today. It turns out getting married is so much fun, I almost want to do it again.”

    Gu Minghe raised an eyebrow, his tone anxious: “Who else do you want to marry?”

    “You, of course,” Pei Huaixue shot him a look. “Who else could it be besides you?”

    Only then did Gu Minghe relax.

    He was terrified of another Gu Yanchen appearing; he definitely didn’t want to divorce Pei Huaixue again.

    “If you like it, we can hold the wedding as many times as you want,” Gu Minghe rubbed Pei Huaixue’s lower back with his palm. “The wedding night too.”

    Pei Huaixue wrapped his arms around his Husband’s broad shoulders and back, his eyes beginning to lose focus…

    It wasn’t until they finished their honeymoon in the local area that the couple boarded the plane back home.

    Before leaving, Pei Huaixue casually opened Weibo, selected a few photos of the aurora borealis, and posted them. He had watched the aurora with Gu Minghe, but since no people were visible in the pictures, he felt safe posting them.

    @MingheLovesSnow: The aurora is beautiful. We’ll come again next time.

    He then turned off his phone and boarded the plane.

    What he didn’t know was that shortly after he posted the Weibo update, the comments section exploded.

    “Brother Xue, did you switch careers to become a sasaeng fan? Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe are returning today, and you’re following them back today. Don’t tell me you’ve been stalking them in Trondheim for the past week?”

    “Saying you were invited? Who believes that?”

    “Holy crap, quickly open the third Live Photo! Gu Minghe’s voice is in it!”

    “Is this for real? He’s actually a sasaeng? They’re just a young couple on their honeymoon watching the aurora, and you had to follow them!”

    “Boycott sasaengs! Boycott sasaengs!”

    “Is the Super Topic admin here? Hurry up and kick this sasaeng out!”

    Pei Huaixue hadn’t checked the photos carefully and missed that in one of the Live Photos, Gu Minghe’s voice could be heard calling him from behind: “Husband, I’ll take your picture. Stand still.”

    When the fans heard the clear voice, they were instantly dumbfounded.

    Without thinking, they assumed it was posted by a sasaeng.

    Just as everyone was busy cursing the sasaeng, someone raised an objection: “Wait, is it possible that MingheLovesSnow isn’t a sasaeng, but is actually Pei Huaixue himself??”

    Everyone immediately denied it, accusing her of confusing the issue, and insisted they focus on cursing the sasaeng.

    “What kind of joke is this? How could Brother Xue be Pei Huaixue? Just because their names both have the character ‘Xue’ doesn’t mean they’re the same person!”

    “Exactly! Brother Xue is so abstract; how could he be the delicate and soft Pei Huaixue?”

    No one believed it.

    Until that person persistently dug through Gu Minghe’s Weibo posts from a few days prior—photos of him and Pei Huaixue watching the aurora. One of them was a picture he had taken of Pei Huaixue.

    The aurora in the background of that photo was identical to the aurora in the third picture posted by MingheLovesSnow!

    It was clear that the people involved were standing in the exact same spot when the pictures were taken!

    “The evidence is irrefutable! Brother Xue is definitely Pei Huaixue himself!”

    Those who were still skeptical gradually started to waver after seeing the evidence.

    “Could it really be him??”

    “If MingheLovesSnow is Pei Huaixue, doesn’t that mean he’s been lurking in our Super Topic, liking all the fanfiction we write, and even arguing with us?!”

    “Brother Xue was once a famous dream-guy fan of Gu Minghe. Later, when Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue announced their relationship, he wasn’t angry but started shipping them. That seemed strange at the time, but if it’s the person himself, it makes perfect sense.”

    “Oh my god, I also think it’s very likely him! Otherwise, who would invite him to the wedding? And return home on the same day as the couple?”

    Soon, #PeiHuaixueMingheLovesSnow# and #PeiHuaixueIdentityRevealed# shot up the Trending Search list.

    Without Pei Huaixue knowing it, his identity was suddenly exposed, leading to public humiliation on the Trending Search.

    Through the powerful investigative skills of the fan community, MingheLovesSnow was thoroughly scrutinized.

    His early years of calling Gu Minghe “Husband” flirtatiously under his Weibo posts, his various abstract “dream-guy” comments, and his later transition to a Shipper, where he liked explicit fanfiction in the Super Topic and placed “orders” for extra content from the writers—all these actions, viewed in conjunction with him being Pei Huaixue himself, were utterly mortifying!

    “Hahahaha, Xuexue is too cute! He’s still on the plane, so he definitely doesn’t know what happened. When he lands, the sky will fall!”

    “So Pei Huaixue loves his Husband this much! He was secretly confessing online so long ago!”

    “It’s the naughty Little Xue! Did he go back and practice with his Husband after reading the fanfiction?”

    “Sisters going to the airport to pick them up, please make sure to tell him this news on the spot, lol!”

    Lanshi Airport.

    The moment Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe disembarked, they were surrounded by fans who had come to greet them.

    Fortunately, airport security was prompt and managed to clear a path for the two of them to walk through smoothly.

    This was the first time Pei Huaixue had been greeted at the airport. The noise was overwhelming, with people constantly shouting his and Gu Minghe’s names. He wasn’t used to it and clung tightly to his Husband, afraid of getting separated.

    Gu Minghe also gripped his Husband’s hand, telling him not to be nervous.

    Just then, someone in the crowd shouted: “MingheLovesSnow! Pei Huaixue, you are MingheLovesSnow, aren’t you?!”

    Pei Huaixue: Huh?

    He turned back blankly, looking at the person who shouted at him.

    He saw the fans who came to greet them all smiling broadly and saying, “Xuexue, your identity is revealed! Go check Weibo!”

    Buzz—

    Pei Huaixue’s mind instantly roared.

    His identity was revealed? When did this happen??

    He quickly pulled out his phone and checked Weibo. When he saw the Trending Search, he nearly fainted.

    Luckily, Gu Minghe quickly supported him. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

    Pei Huaixue thought about his identity being exposed and the public humiliation, and his face burned crimson.

    He quickly pulled down his hat brim, put on his sunglasses and mask, covering his face completely. Then, covering his face and looking down, he walked quickly while denying everything: “No, no, you have the wrong person. I’m not MingheLovesSnow, I’m not him, ahhh—”

    He practically screamed and ran away.

    Gu Minghe quickly chased after his Husband.

    What on earth happened??

    Back in the car, even after the door was closed, Pei Huaixue was still curled up like a quail egg. Gu Minghe was completely bewildered.

    “Baby, what exactly is wrong?”

    Pei Huaixue handed him his phone. Gu Minghe looked at the Trending Search and finally understood the situation.

    He couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle, which immediately earned him a glare from his Husband.

    Gu Minghe quickly stopped laughing, clearing his throat with a fist to his lips. “These netizens are too mean. How could they expose your identity?”

    “Exactly! And it’s on the Trending Search! How am I supposed to go out and face people now? It’s too embarrassing!” Pei Huaixue was so angry he was squeaking like a kitten. “A bunch of bad guys!”

    Gu Minghe found him incredibly adorable. Laughing, he pulled Pei Huaixue onto his lap and skillfully began to soothe his Husband. “Don’t be angry. I’ll have the Trending Search removed right away. My Husband is so cute, who would dare laugh at you?”

    “Hmph!”

    Pei Huaixue buried his burning face in Gu Minghe’s chest, his head steaming, refusing to look up for a long time.

    When they arrived home, the Trending Search had already been taken down.

    Pei Huaixue quickly drafted a Weibo post: “I am not Pei Huaixue. I am just Pei Huaixue’s friend.”

    However, no one believed him.

    The comments were full of laughter, teasing Pei Huaixue in various ways.

    Pei Huaixue’s reaction at the airport today proved that he was MingheLovesSnow; otherwise, why would he blush and flee in panic?

    Pei Huaixue was furious and prepared to delete the account in a fit of rage. Just then, Gu Minghe followed him back.

    Pei Huaixue: …

    Forget it. He couldn’t bear to delete it anymore.

    After all, this account recorded many memories between him and Gu Minghe.

    He said awkwardly, “Why did you follow me?”

    “Fan service,” Gu Minghe smiled.

    Although Pei Huaixue refused to admit it verbally, Gu Minghe’s follow-back indirectly confirmed his identity.

    And because of the public humiliation, Pei Huaixue rarely logged into that account anymore. He switched to a new, unknown alias and continued to let loose in the Super Topic.
