Liang Yu probably didn’t have any experience doing this kind of thing. Xu Jingzhe didn’t dare to struggle after feeling teeth brush against him several times.

More importantly, the person who was doing it kept asking, “How does that feel? Is it good?”

Xu Jingzhe closed his eyes and refused to say a word.

His erectile dysfunction wasn’t the type in which he couldn’t get it up at all. He experienced morning wood with some regularity. Now that he was being played with like this, even if his member had been snapped clean off, it could probably grow back at this rate.

Xu Jingzhe hadn’t experienced this kind of stimulation in so many years. His whole body was shuddering, letting out faint and muffled moans. It wasn’t clear whether it was due to shame or indignation, but Xu Jingzhe grabbed a random piece of clothing from nearby and covered his face with it.

He couldn’t endure for more than a few seconds. His orgasm came so quickly that Liang Yu ended up choking on it a bit.

“That was fast.” Liang Yu huffed a breath of laughter as he removed the clothing covering the other’s face. Seeming to realize that his words might come across as offensive, he added, a little superfluously, “Not that you’re a super fast finisher or anything. That was only a little bit fast.”

Xu Jingzhe opened his eyes and glared at him. Maybe it was because he wasn’t used to doing that sort of thing or maybe he was just too excited, but Liang Yu’s emotions seemed to be running high. The tip of his nose and the corners of his eyes were as red as rouge.

He didn’t bother getting Xu Jingzhe a new pair of underwear. He simply scooped up his naked form and all.

Although he was still angry, Xu Jingzhe couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh to Liang Yu’s face. After holding it in for a while, he coldly remarked, “You shouldn’t be allowed to have this mouth of yours.”

Liang Yu casually laughed and replied, “How would I have been able to help you if I didn’t have a mouth?”

Xu Jingzhe became even more angry. His head felt like it was short-circuiting, and his vision seemed to go white. He stammered angrily but didn’t manage to get anything out of his mouth.

Liang Yu was starting to worry that he would actually explode out of anger, so he took the other into his arms and murmured sweet nothings like “sweetheart”, “darling”, and “baby” into his ear. He actually seemed pretty pleased with himself, not a single trace of guilt in his voice.

Once he’d calmed down a bit, Xu Jingzhe wanted to put his underwear back on. His lower half had returned to a state of calm, completely devoid of any earthly desires. Quite frankly, this was not something that he’d wanted to show Liang Yu. He couldn’t help but feel self-conscious, not to mention an eyesore.

However, Liang Yu said, “Don’t move. I’ll do it.”

He fetched a new pair of underwear and tenderly slid it over Xu Jingzhe’s ankles. Once the underwear was on, he hugged Xu Jingzhe and kissed him. Liang Yu stayed neat and orderly throughout the entire process, but, when Xu Jingzhe drew near, it wasn’t difficult to notice that he was hard.

Xu Jingzhe was in a complicated mood at the moment. Half of him was envious, and half of him found the whole thing a little amusing. He was just thinking about whether he should return the favor when he heard Liang Yu say, “Don’t worry about me. It’s okay.”

Xu Jingzhe said, conflicted, “You can’t just leave it like that, can you?”

Liang Yu replied, perhaps intentionally, “I’m in perfect shape.”

Xu Jingzhe: “…”

In any case, the microphones had already been removed from the house, so they could finally say whatever they wanted. Liang Yu ended up asking Xu Jingzhe if he’d gone to the hotel that night for medical treatment.

Xu Jingzhe said, “I went to see my psychiatrist. I didn’t expect that I would be photographed.” He paused before adding, “I’ve been seeing him for almost three years.”

Liang Yu: “If he hasn’t been able to help you after three whole years, then he must not be any good.”

Xu Jingzhe shot him a disapproving glance.

Liang Yu cajoled him: “Stop seeing him. I’ll help you treat it.”

Xu Jingzhe didn’t know whether Liang Yu was joking or not. However, that night, the cameras in the room were turned off, and Liang Yu started acting up again.

In the end, Xu Jingzhe was brought to orgasm again. Xu Jingzhe was truly overcome with embarrassment.

After washing his hands, Liang Yu returned to bed and hugged Xu Jingzhe, practically brimming with energy. Xu Jingzhe had never noticed how thin the other’s eyelids were, turning red at the drop of a hat. If he was angry, they turned red. If he was excited, they turned red. His eyelids were like a shallow bowl full of water, spilling over at the slightest bit of force.

As he held Xu Jingzhi in his arms, Liang Yu said to himself, “It’s not like there’s no reaction at all. It’s just a little fast is all.”

Xu Jingzhe didn’t want to discuss this issue with him. In his mind, premature ejaculation was also a form of erectile dysfunction. It’d be better not to console him at all.

The next day, both of them woke up late. The producer eventually called to let them know that they’d been waiting for them in the living room for some time now.

Xu Jingzhe couldn’t lay around any longer and got up first.

After finishing his morning routine, Xu Jingzhe ran into Liang Yu, who just so happened to walk into the bathroom. As soon as they made eye contact, Liang Yu came up to him and began hankering for a kiss, a self-satisfied air about him.

“The crew’s waiting for us downstairs.” Xu Jingzhe gave him a kiss and urged him to wash up. “Hurry.”

Liang Yu grumbled to himself, “They can wait.” Then, he seemed to remember something, and his expression worsened, “I thought we told them not to release the footage, but they ended up releasing it anyway. I’m not going to just let this go. “

Xu Jingzhe didn’t actually mind that much. The audience wasn’t omniscient. They certainly weren’t going to assume that he had erectile dysfunction solely based off one or two clips. Instead, they’d probably assume that there was something wrong in their relationship.

Malicious editing happened all the time, and broadcasting stations were going to use whatever method they could to get ratings. He was well used to it.

Xu Jingzhe put on his mic before heading downstairs. The producer took the initiative to approach him, apologizing for the oversight and explaining that they had re-edited the episode. They had also issued a statement explaining the situation. Xu Jingzhe smiled agreeably and said, “It’s okay. It was outside your control.”

The producer grimaced. “Then can you help us explain that to Mr. Liang? His agent is really good at cursing people out, and I don’t think the station will be able to handle it.”

Xu Jingzhe: “…”

Xu Jingzhe didn’t need to worry about Zhang Man’s side of things. She made sure that the legal notices came shortly after the public statement. Xu Jingzhe logged onto Weibo and reposted them all. As for how their teams dealt with all the trending topics that arose from that, it was not something he needed to worry about.

For once, Yang Jierui didn’t dwell on whether they were being “sucked dry” or not. It was one of the rare occasions in which both teams were on the same page, presenting a united front to the world.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiaoxiao was busy lurking in the forums. She now knew a lot more about Liang Yu’s “dark past” thanks to Xiao Luo, so the forum posts didn’t really evoke the same feelings as before.

Most of the Weibo accounts attacking Liang Yu disappeared after Xu Jingzhe declared his intention to sue. However, the forums remained relatively peaceful. The thread for shippers was obviously stronger than ever. The thread for skeptics wasn’t affected either, surprisingly enough.

“It’s almost impressive how much dirt there is on Tycoon. I wonder who dug it all up.”

“It’s not like he abandoned his wife and child. Moreover, there’s no evidence of him neglecting his parents, right? I remember seeing photographs of him out and about with his mom or his sister a long time ago.”

“His assistant seems to be his sister. I saw her once, and they look quite similar.”

“His sister is his assistant? Can he be any more cheap?”

“Hey, let’s not get off-topic. The main point here is that he’s a weirdo control freak. Isn’t anyone interested in that piece of gossip?”

“Hahaha, there’s no way. He’s just a wannabe upstart. How can film resources be considered hush money? His exes might not be on Rem’s level, but they aren’t nobodies either. If it was true, one of them would’ve corroborated.”

“I don’t believe he’s a control freak either. Rem, on the other hand, might be. After all, he’s kind of overly self-disciplined. He seems like the kind of guy that needs to micromanage everything.”

When Zhu Xiaoxiao saw this, she couldn’t help but scoff. She thought to herself, “You might know someone on the outside, but you’ll never know them on the inside. Your ‘Fish Tycoon’ is actually a control freak! You people know nothing!”

Mini Theater: Rings

This incident occurred after the two of them got married.

Initially, Xu Jingzhe had promised Liang Yu that he’d wear the pigeon egg whenever there were a lot of people around and he’d wear the ring that he’d bought himself in all other situations. However, Xu Jingzhe ended up skirting his way out of this rule several times.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to wear it, but the pigeon egg was really just too big. It wasn’t very convenient to wear, and, whenever he did, it was as if his hand was entirely sealed off, unable to do anything with that hand.

Liang Yu brought it up several times, but he eventually stopped. Xu Jingzhe thought this meant his little tricks had worked. What he didn’t expect was for Liang Yu to buy him several gold chains the next year.

Necklace, bracelet, anklet, one of each in pure gold. Liang Yu commissioned a professional to make them for him, so they were glitteringly beautiful but not tacky.

Liang Yu’s attitude was very clear. He’d let the issue with the pigeon egg ring go, but Xu Jingzhe was going to have to wear the gold chains.

Xu Jingzhe: “…”

After this, Xu Jingzhe had pretty much figured out where Liang Yu’s bottom line lay. He didn’t dare to touch it again for a very long time.
