But complaining internally was one thing; no matter what, the PD wouldn’t dare speak his mind in front of Bo Yu. He could only force a fake smile and turn to Wen Xi with a pleading gaze.

Wen Xi: “…”

Wen Xi silently lowered her head.

As a shipper, Yu Sheng actually thought bringing a cameraman along was no big deal. But as an artist, thinking about having her own dates and kisses watched and recorded gave her goosebumps all over, and she instantly shut her mouth. She had begged Bo Yu for ages to be able to come to Northern Europe; it was better not to cause him any trouble.

Humming a little tune, Yu Sheng ran over to Luo Qianqian’s side to browse the “Yu Qin Gu Zong” super topic together.

After his makeup was done, Gu Qichi personally covered up the marks on his neck and then took off his scarf.

While using a curling iron to fluff up his hair, the makeup artist teased him mischievously, “Teacher Gu and Teacher Bo are truly so affectionate.”

Gu Qichi felt a bit shy and smiled embarrassedly. Then he heard the makeup artist continue, “I heard President Bo prepared for a very long time for this proposal.”

The curling iron was set to a very high temperature. Gu Qichi’s hair was on the softer side, so it stayed on his head for quite a while. The scorching heat transferred to his skin through the iron. Gu Qichi was a bit puzzled and let out a questioning sound.

The makeup artist quickly realized she had let something slip and smiled awkwardly. She glanced at the utterly confused Gu Qichi, feeling a bit tempted to say more.

When Gu Qichi voiced a request for her to continue, the makeup artist glanced around. Seeing no cameras and no other staff members, she felt relieved and leaned close to Gu Qichi’s ear to gossip.

“Teacher Gu, you must keep this a secret for me, or the director will definitely scold me.”

Gu Qichi’s eyes curved in a smile, repeatedly promising not to tell anyone. Only then did the makeup artist continue: “Because I’ve always been part of Producer Xu’s staff, when I Will Accompany You to the End was first organized, President Bo personally came to negotiate. You could almost say this show was single-handedly arranged by President Bo. Of course, he didn’t know about the live streams or the games the guests played together, but all your travel destinations were personally selected by President Bo.”

As if suddenly remembering something, the makeup artist excitedly moved the curling iron away and gestured to Gu Qichi. “The places President Bo chose are supposedly all the places you, Teacher Gu, wanted to visit the most.”

Gu Qichi was taken aback, suddenly recalling that back then, because of Wen Che, Bo Yu had tossed him about all night. In a half-awake, half-asleep state, Bo Yu had held his hand and asked him where he wanted to go for fun, and he had groggily murmured a few places.

But as time passed, he didn’t even remember it himself. The places they had traveled to were all the ones he had mentioned wanting to visit that one time.

“There’s more! Ever since Norway was decided upon, President Bo has been preparing that ice-sealed rose wall. I heard from the crew that they originally planned to use fresh flowers, but they wouldn’t be visible at night and would easily freeze and wither. They discussed it for a long time before coming up with this idea.”

The makeup artist finished his hair and sprayed it to set the style, her face showing pure goodwill. “Even as a girl, I think President Bo is incredibly romantic. Teacher Gu, the two of you must always stay happy together.”

Gu Qichi sincerely thanked the makeup artist.

After his makeup and styling were done, Gu Qichi pushed the door open and walked out, only to see the miserable-looking accompanying PD. Standing opposite him was Bo Yu, looking completely nonchalant. Under this contrast, the PD standing in the cold wind looked even more pitiful, like a delicate, weeping little white flower.

The moment the PD saw him approach, it was as if he had found his savior; his eyes lit up with genuine emotion. The moment the PD grasped his hands, Gu Qichi looked at Bo Yu’s darkening face, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

But with Bo Yu right there, the PD didn’t dare say anything. Gu Qichi sighed, pulled his hands back, and turned to look at Bo Yu, saying pointedly, “It’s your turn for makeup and styling.”

Bo Yu frowned, instinctively retorting, “I don’t like smearing those things on my face.”

Like coaxing a child, Gu Qichi drew out his words, slowly teasing him, “But I wore makeup today. Aren’t you going to accompany me?”

“Besides—” his eyes curved slightly, looking breathtakingly beautiful when he smiled, possessing a soul-stirring charm, “You looked especially good when you wore makeup last time. I really liked it.”

Sure enough, Bo Yu’s expression shifted slightly. He didn’t say any more words of refusal and obediently ducked into the makeup room next door.

This left the accompanying PD, Yu Sheng, and the rest of the group dumbfounded. Damn, was this really the same stubborn Bo Yu from just a moment ago? How was he so easy to coax??!

The PD practically saw Gu Qichi as his shining beacon of hope.

Accompanying PD: “Teacher Gu!!!”

The PD repeated the request he had just made to Bo Yu, waiting with brimming anticipation for Gu Qichi’s answer. The PD was certain that the beautiful and kind-hearted angel, Gu Qichi, would definitely agree.

But the result defied his expectations. Gu Qichi hesitated for a good while before refusing the PD with a hint of apology: “Bo Yu has a very strong sense of personal space. He probably wouldn’t want a third person in such an enclosed space with us. Furthermore, as a girl, there’s no need for Xiao Jiang to wrong herself and squeeze in with two grown men.”

Tromsø’s scenery was beautiful; Gu Qichi hoped that these staff members could also relax a bit and not be trapped in their dull, tedious routines.

In the end, Gu Qichi promised to cover the cable car and upcoming sledding expenses for the entire film crew. The PD gave up on filming inside the cable car but, still not entirely giving up, handed Gu Qichi a GoPro.

“Teacher Gu, you guys have to appear on camera at least a little bit and show your faces, otherwise this cable car trip is really a waste.”

Seeing the PD looking too pitiful, Gu Qichi agreed, caught between tears and laughter.

After Bo Yu came out with his makeup and styling done, the group finally headed towards the cable cars.

If the first glance at this city upon arrival brought a sense of quiet and peaceful serenity, then looking down at Tromsø from high up in the cable car now could only be described as a dreamlike vision of a lifetime.

It was exactly an hour before sunset. Gu Qichi boarded the ropeway and sat in the cable car.

Layers upon layers of white snow covered the entire city, with a few red houses occasionally revealing their true colors. In the distance were deep, serene fjords, with azure waters rippling, and frozen blocks of ice visible on the surface.

Holding the GoPro, Gu Qichi looked through the transparent glass, his eyes wide with excited curiosity.

The sky was a vast blue. The water lapped against the boats docked at the shore, rolling up layers of snowy waves. The cable car glided smoothly and swiftly; before long, Gu Qichi saw them getting closer and closer to the snowy mountains.

“Bo Yu! Look, quickly!”

Gu Qichi called out to him. He hadn’t paid any attention to Bo Yu the entire way, his attention completely captivated by the scenery outside the window. Bo Yu was helpless, but it was rare to see Gu Qichi act so childishly, so he didn’t make much noise to disturb him.

“I see it,” Bo Yu said slowly.

Gu Qichi was focused on looking at the scenery, and Bo Yu was also entirely focused on looking at the scenery.

It was just that one was looking at the actual scenery, while the other was looking at the person who was even more beautiful than the scenery.

“Wife, come here. Give me a kiss.” Just before they were about to arrive at the snowy mountain, Bo Yu finally spoke up to call him back.

Gu Qichi placed the GoPro on Bo Yu’s other side and obediently sat on his lap, wrapping his arms around his shoulders.

He naturally leaned over and gave Bo Yu a peck, about to pull away, but the back of his neck was gripped, and his waist was pulled in tight.

Bo Yu’s nose pressed against his, rubbing gently. “You heartless little thing, coaxing me into getting makeup, and then you didn’t even spare me a glance once I was done.”

The resentment in his words was simply too immense. Gu Qichi tilted his head up slightly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at him in amusement.

“You look the best, Bo Yu.” He praised him naturally, sitting further forward, his hand moving from Bo Yu’s shoulder to the back of his neck, speaking in a rewarding tone: “Then let’s kiss again.”

Bo Yu leaned in to suck on his lips, but just as they lightly touched, Gu Qichi pulled back.

Gu Qichi narrowed his eyes, warning him in a low voice, “No biting, otherwise my lips will swell up again later.”

Bo Yu lowered his eyes, giving a reluctant hum, and lowered his head to kiss him again.

This time he complied with Gu Qichi’s wish, no longer sucking or biting his lips, but it was much fiercer than just now.

Bo Yu switched to licking and gently biting the tip of his tongue. His force was great, almost rolling and sucking the base of Gu Qichi’s tongue. The roof of Gu Qichi’s mouth and the inner walls of his oral cavity were densely licked over by Bo Yu. The souring base of his tongue didn’t have time to swallow the saliva before it was swept up and sucked into Bo Yu’s mouth.

They were about to reach the top of the snowy mountain, yet Gu Qichi was being kissed so thoroughly that he couldn’t breathe smoothly.

The distant snowy mountain peak was a blinding white, white enough to sting the eyes. A mist gathered in Gu Qichi’s eyes. The back of his neck was gripped by Bo Yu, kneading neither too lightly nor too heavily. That patch of skin quickly reddened, and along with it, his cheeks and the corners of his eyes rapidly flushed a deep crimson under this forceful offensive.

Only when it was almost time to get off did Bo Yu release Gu Qichi, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

The man smiled intimately, helping Gu Qichi wipe away the saliva he hadn’t had time to swallow from the corner of his mouth, and leaned in to give him another peck: “Didn’t kiss it swollen this time.”

His lips indeed weren’t swollen, but his tongue had swollen into a bright red.

Gu Qichi couldn’t catch his breath in time, and his mouth couldn’t fully close. He panted in small breaths, his slightly swollen tongue tip sticking out a bit, still shimmering with moisture.

Shamelessly, Bo Yu rolled his tongue tip and sucked it again. A fine, dense pain spread. Gu Qichi nudged him with his elbow and, before the man pulled away, bit him as if to vent his frustration.

A small cut quickly opened on Bo Yu’s lip.

“Wife, I didn’t bite you, but you bit me.” Bo Yu said innocently, raising a hand to wipe away the tiny bit of seeping blood, then smearing that blood onto the corner of Gu Qichi’s lips.

Gu Qichi’s breathing was no longer as hurried as before, slowly calming down. He genuinely felt that when Bo Yu decided to be shameless, he was unmatched.

…

The two arrived at the mountain peak slightly earlier than the others.

Bo Yu had deliberately staggered the timing so they could have a bit more alone time together.

The snow beneath their feet didn’t have a soft, fluffy texture, but was frozen solid from years of accumulation. Except for the very top layer, which felt slightly soft when stepped on, everything underneath was very hard.

Gu Qichi let Bo Yu hold his hand as they walked forward aimlessly.

The wind at the summit was a bit stronger, blowing over the fjords and bringing a cool moisture, along with a scent unique to this place.

It was a combination of slightly salty seawater and deep pine forests, mixed with the slight chill of snow—it was quite wondrous.

About ten minutes later, the film crew finally arrived.

Luckily, the flush on Gu Qichi’s face and neck had faded, leaving only a lingering hint of red at the corners of his eyes. But unless he stuck his tongue out, no one would be able to tell that he had just been pinned down by Bo Yu for such a long kiss.

The show’s PD and other staff members also rarely got to enjoy such a beautiful scene; it was visibly obvious that everyone had relaxed quite a bit.

Xiao Jiang, in particular, looked at Bo Yu and Gu Qichi with gratitude.

In truth, she hadn’t wanted to share a cable car with them either—it felt a bit like being a peeping tom—but the director had forced her to.

Thankfully, neither Bo Yu nor Gu Qichi agreed to it, so she ended up sharing a cable car with the other girls in the crew and happily enjoyed the snowy mountain scenery.

When everyone had arrived on the snowy mountain, the PD called for everyone to turn on their filming equipment and aim them at the protagonists.

The timing perfectly coincided with Tromsø’s sunset. The vast blue sky was dyed a brilliant gold by the falling sun, and the ethereal clouds in the sky rose up curling into various shapes, blossoming into overlapping layers of red and pink.

Gu Qichi turned his head slightly, his eyes reflecting Bo Yu’s silhouette. His fluffy hair swayed gently, and Bo Yu reached out to tuck it behind his ear.

No matter who looked at them, they were the picture of a perfectly loving, fairy-tale couple.

Especially in terms of looks, they were an incredible match.

Today, Bo Yu wasn’t wearing his usual black suit and white shirt, but had changed into a camel-colored overcoat. Under his loose casual pants, knee-high boots wrapped around his calves, elongating his proportions.

Because of his styling, the coldness radiating from him was diluted significantly, yet he remained noble and refined, giving off a sense of careless intimidation.

Gu Qichi wore an overcoat of the same color, with a hooded sweatshirt underneath, making him look very young. One could easily believe he was a college student studying abroad here.

His makeup wasn’t heavy, giving his skin a translucent texture. His complexion was rosy, and his peach-blossom eyes tilted upward, brimming with a pool of spring water. When his gaze shifted, he always appeared affectionate yet indolent, making people unable to resist wanting to approach him.

Yu Sheng stared blankly, unable to hold back, and took out her phone to snap a picture. The viewfinder focused on their faces, and the natural lighting was the best embellishment. The photo turned out exceptionally brilliant. Yu Sheng silently sighed with emotion, “Yu Qin Gu Zong, a real fucking perfect match, a match made in heaven!”

Luo Qianqian also gulped heavily and muttered, “They really are such a good match. The only person in this world worthy of Teacher Gu is Teacher Bo.”

Yu Sheng felt her fingers itching to post it. After asking for Wen Xi and the PD’s opinions, she posted the photo on her social media platform.

If she couldn’t fangirl crazily in front of Gu Qichi and Bo Yu, surely doing it on the internet was fine, right?

After all, watching your OTP frantically handing out sugar right in front of you—very few people could hold back from going crazy.

@YuShengOfTheRestOfMyLife: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh Yu Qin Gu Zong lock it down for me!!! Locked for a lifetime!!! [Image.jpg]

[YuShengOfTheRestOfMyLife]: Oh right, this is a completely unedited original photo, baby Xiao Chi’s beauty is killer [Finger Heart]

As soon as her post went up, it rapidly drew countless comments and likes.

Yu Sheng was already a popular trending actress with diehard fans everywhere. Plus, Gu Qichi and Bo Yu’s current popularity was no less than hers—in fact, it was even a notch higher. The comment section was bustling not only with her fans but also with Gu Qichi and Bo Yu’s.

The directing team took a look at the public reception and the trending heat, feeling highly satisfied. Yu Sheng’s agency even directly bought her a trending search tag. The discussion and exposure surrounding this Northern Europe trip were suddenly pushed to the max.

Everyone’s enthusiasm for the next episode of I Will Accompany You to the End also reached an unprecedented high.

Meanwhile, the equipment had been fully adjusted. Taking advantage of the rare scenery right now, the PD took out a mission card, straightened his collar, and stepped forward to hand it to Gu Qichi and Bo Yu.

“Teacher Bo, Teacher Gu, here is your mission card for today.”

Gu Qichi took the gold-stamped card and, playing to the camera, read it aloud.

【The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, though dusk is drawing near.】

【Upon the boundless snowy mountains, please loudly declare your love for your partner. The wind will carry your shouts to the sky and deliver your wishes to the setting sun. Among the floating clouds, you will see that love takes on many shapes, yet exists eternally.】
