Rong Xu’s livestream had barely been on for twenty minutes, and his audience had already surpassed 100 million. Even when a certain man appeared in the frame, that number surged by 20 million, steadily climbing towards 130 million.
On the phone screen, viewers were furiously scrolling, so fast that the text was impossible to read. In the spacious kitchen, Qin Cheng firmly cupped his lover’s head, skillfully prying open his teeth, and fiercely kissing those soft lips. At the same time, his other hand shamelessly caressed Rong Xu’s lower back.
All of this came too suddenly, yet there was nothing inherently wrong with it.
Any person who wakes up early in the morning to see their beloved so diligently cooking, especially while wearing their own clothes, would feel a certain urge. The white shirt suited Rong Xu perfectly, making his skin appear even fairer, his collarbones sharply defined. And knowing the shirt belonged to Qin Cheng made everything even more uncontrollable.
Moreover, this was at home. Even if they were to genuinely engage in intimate acts in the kitchen, it would be their own business, no one else’s.
The more he kissed this person, the more a heat surged through him. The man’s hand had already subtly slipped inside the shirt, intending to move upwards, when suddenly, Qin Cheng paused, letting out a muffled groan.
Mr. Qin, with a mouthful of blood: “…”
Rong Xu, pushing the man away in exasperation: “I’m live!”
The words finally escaped. In Qin Cheng’s stunned gaze, Rong Xu reached out, took the phone that had been covered by a plastic bag, and placed it directly in front of the man.
At this moment, the audience in the livestream erupted.
[Ahhhhhhh God Qin is looking at me! I’m here, God Qin I really like you! Really like you!]
[Hahahaha God Qin actually got bitten by Rong Rong, 23333333]
[First time seeing God Qin look so dumbfounded, I’m dying of laughter XD I’ve loved Cheng Rong for so many years, and though I feel like I haven’t reversed the roles, God Qin still has such a cute side, already screenshotted and saved √]
[Please send me the screenshot above, God Qin actually blocked the camera with his hand hahahahaha…]
The handsome man, with blood on his lips, his eyes wide, stared incredulously at the phone placed before him. But his astonishment lasted only a second. Then he calmly pursed his lips, one hand wiping the blood from his mouth, while the other very naturally blocked the phone’s front camera.
When viewers saw the screen again, Qin Cheng was gone from the kitchen. Rong Xu reached up to cover his lips, unable to hide his smile. As the audience waited in confusion, a moment later, Qin Cheng, now fully dressed, walked into the kitchen, calmly and naturally embracing Rong Xu’s waist. He asked, “What’s for lunch?”
[Wait, is this an NG for a redo?]
[I won’t accept God Qin doing an NG! We just saw it, we can’t unsee it 233333]
Fans continuously spammed the livestream with protests, but the man seemed completely oblivious. He took the phone from Rong Xu’s hand and placed it back on the shelf by the window. Then, the two began cooking together in the kitchen, just like any ordinary couple.
This “boring” livestream content made viewers exclaim how dull it was, one after another stating: [We want to see PDA! We want to be fed dog food! God Qin, just pretend we’re not live, can we do the NG again, please, please, please!!!]
Their answer was the skilled chopping of spring onions by the actor, Qin.
After three dishes and one soup were prepared, the livestream moved to them eating in the dining room. After placing all the dishes and utensils on the table, Rong Xu subconsciously took the phone and stand and set them on the dining table. Qin Cheng, however, frowned slightly: “Still livestreaming?”
Rong Xu nodded: “I’ve only been live for about thirty minutes. Brother Luo said that a normal livestream should be at least an hour long?”
Qin Cheng raised an eyebrow: “There’s a minimum duration for livestreams?”
The eager audience: [Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!! At least two hours! Two hours!!!]
Regardless, viewers would no longer see such explosive scenes. Throughout the meal, the two simply added food to their plates and ate, occasionally chatting, but there was no kissing, not even holding hands.
If an ordinary streamer were broadcasting such content, the audience wouldn’t even break ten, let alone a hundred million. But Rong Xu’s livestream viewers, after initial complaints and grievances, began to entertain themselves.
[Oh, Rong Rong really doesn’t eat cilantro. Rong Rong even looks beautiful when he’s picky!]
[Ahhhhhh God Qin put food on Rong Rong’s plate, he put two green vegetables, not one, but two!]
…It was truly hard on these viewers. Other streamers went to great lengths to entertain their audience. Their streamer made them go to great lengths to entertain themselves.
Rong Xu looked at the scrolling comments and couldn’t help but laugh as he read them. As an amateur streamer, he thought carefully for a moment and seemed to realize that he couldn’t trouble his fans like this anymore.
So, Rong Xu gently put down his chopsticks, clasped his hands together, rested his chin, and looked at the man in front of him with a smile, opening with: “Why did you suddenly come back last night? I remember New Caligula still has two more months of filming, right?”
New Caligula was a movie Qin Cheng was currently filming. A few days ago, the crew had even posted behind-the-scenes photos, with everyone shooting on location in Australia.
Listening to the other’s words, Qin Cheng looked up, carefully gazing at his lover.
Having been in love for many years and lived together for so long, Qin Cheng knew exactly what his beloved wanted to do. Although he was very reluctant to serve his fans and make them happy—because these damned fans prevented him from kissing Rong Rong, and even almost caused him to lose his ahem!—since Rong Xu wanted to do this, Qin Cheng could only obediently cooperate.
Having acted for many years, Qin Cheng frowned, and an idea came to him: “I missed you.”
Rong Xu: “…” Does he have to be this cooperative?!!!
[Awwwww dog food dog food! More dog food!]
[Why is there so much dog food! Mama… I still want more!!!]
Putting down his chopsticks as well, as if the situation wasn’t big enough, Qin Cheng rested his chin on one hand and let out an ambiguous chuckle: “Yes, Xiao Xu, I missed you.”
As these words fell, the livestream was once again filled with screams.
Rong Xu had only intended for Qin Cheng to liven up the atmosphere a bit. He never expected this man to go all out, directly putting him on the spot. However, giving up so easily wouldn’t be Rong Xu.
All the viewers glued to the livestream saw their Rong Rong suddenly let out a light chuckle. He turned his head, looked at the screen, and smiled slightly: “Actually, there’s a question I often see fans asking in the comments section of my Weibo, and they seem very eager to know. Today is a rare opportunity, so why don’t we talk about… how I and this man got together.”
Rong Xu pointed with his left hand, directly at a certain person.
Qin Cheng, being pointed at: “…?”
Before the man could fully react, Rong Xu recalled for a moment and directly stated: “He pursued me first.”
[Ahhhhhhhh God Qin pursued Rong Rong first!!!]
“What kind of personality do you think Qin Cheng has?”
[Aloof God Qin! God Qin is especially aloof!]
Rong Xu feigned surprise, widening his eyes. His slender finger wagged in front of the camera, sprinkling a bowl of “dog food”: “He’s not aloof, he’s very gentle.”
He paused, as if thinking of something, and Rong Xu said with a smile: “Once, he was worried about me being outside… um, being unsafe outside, but he was filming overseas at the time, so he could only remind me to be careful over the phone. Later, I didn’t expect to see him at my room door the next day.”
This event was subtly referred to, actually concerning Ren Shuzhi.
When Rong Xu was filming Lost City, Ren Shuzhi, a young queen of the Chinese music scene, had repeatedly hinted at that kind of thing, and Qin Cheng happened to find out. That very day, the man booked a plane ticket back to China and stood at the hotel room door for several hours that night, waiting for Rong Xu to return.
Fans, naturally, didn’t know the truth of the matter. They also listened in a hazy daze, until the clear and handsome young man on the screen slowly reined in his smile and said seriously: “The moment I saw him, I actually suddenly had a feeling…”
“Does Qin Cheng like me?”
The scrolling speed of the livestream, for some reason, significantly slowed down as this sentence fell.
Perhaps it was because Rong Xu’s tone was too gentle and nostalgic when he said this, or perhaps it was because the young man’s gaze on the screen was too affectionate, as if he were speaking of his most cherished treasure.
He carefully brought this treasure before everyone, proudly showing everyone its beauty, yet at every moment holding the treasure tightly in his arms, not letting anyone touch it, afraid of even a bump or scratch.
At this point, tens of millions of livestream viewers vaguely had a strange thought: it seemed that this was the real “dog food.”
There were no passionate kisses, no sweet words or grand vows.
Just saying “he likes me,” and the joyous, delighted mood couldn’t even be hidden by acting skills of an Oscar winner, uncontrollably appearing on his brows.
And at this moment, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around Rong Xu from behind. The audience was suddenly startled. Rong Xu also turned to look behind him, only to see that at some point, the handsome and noble man had walked to his side, gently embracing him from behind, and whispered:
“From the first time I saw you, I liked you. Even now, I think that was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
Rong Xu asked: “What decision?”
Qin Cheng looked at him steadily: “Liking you.”
As the words fell, there was a simple, quiet kiss. Just a gentle kiss, as if time stood still, hiding his most cherished treasure in his heart.
No one in the livestream said anything more about asking for “dog food.”
At this moment, both fans and passersby were uniformly sending blessings.
[Wishing God Qin and Rong Rong eternal happiness!]
[Wishing Cheng Rong forever and ever!]
[I don’t want to wish you forever, because I know without saying it that you will definitely, definitely be together happily forever.]
After kissing for a moment, Qin Cheng still held his young man tightly from behind, but this time he lowered his head and carefully looked at the camera.
Rong Xu also didn’t speak, just smiled and let him hold him. After three or four minutes, while the livestream audience was completely confused, a certain man solemnly nodded: “Hmm, 58… 58… 0… Okay, Xiao Xu, an hour’s up, you can turn off the livestream.”
Viewers: […]
Without giving the poor viewers a chance to complain, Qin Cheng directly turned off the phone. The next moment, he unhesitatingly pressed his beloved onto the dining table and kissed him deeply.
He had been holding it in for almost an hour; it really wasn’t easy for him!
His Rong Rong expressing affection to him in front of so many fans—could any man still endure that? How could a couple of quick pecks be enough? They definitely had to achieve great harmony of life!
The live-streamed lunch was only half-eaten by the two, and they weren’t particularly full. But from another perspective, Mr. Qin said he was very full, and fed his Rong Rong very well, and both were quite satisfied.
This sudden livestream had a huge impact on both of them, being discussed by fans worldwide for a whole week and reported by many news outlets. By the time the fervor slowly died down, it was already a month later. Another month passed, and Qin Cheng finished filming his new movie and returned home.
Rong Xu already knew that a certain man was home today. He had just returned from eating with Lin Xuan and didn’t think much as he walked through the door, nor did he notice the man’s surprised gaze.
He focused on changing his shoes, and then, the next moment, the man suddenly walked to the entrance hall for some reason.
The narrow entrance hall suddenly accommodated two men, becoming not very spacious.
Rong Xu frowned: “What’s wrong?”
Qin Cheng said seriously: “I’m back.”
Rong Xu: “…I know you’re back, what’s wrong?”
Qin Cheng: “I’m really, really back. I filmed for two months and finally returned.”
Rong Xu: “Are you trying to say that two months have passed and you can stop sleeping in the study—”
“Xiao Xu!”
“—stop sleeping in the study?” With a slight curve of his lips, Rong Xu calmly said: “In fact, today is the 29th day of the second month, Mr. Qin, you still have two more days to sleep in the study. Don’t look at me like that; pity won’t work. You definitely have to sleep in the study tonight.”
Qin Cheng said in a very low voice: “…Xiao Xu, give me some face.”
Rong Xu raised an eyebrow: “Give you face?”
Qin Cheng immediately lowered his voice: “Give me some face, shh.”
Rong Xu looked at the man suspiciously. After a long gaze, he chuckled: “Acting mysterious won’t work; you’re definitely sleeping in the study tonight. What, you still don’t want to sleep in the study? Hmm?”
Qin Cheng: “…I’ll sleep there.”
Things developed in a direction he couldn’t control. After two months apart, his beloved, upon seeing him, didn’t give him a warm hug or an excited greeting, but actually opened his mouth to tell him to sleep in the study!
Qin Cheng calmly moved two steps to the side, still appearing composed on the surface, but his eyes looked utterly despondent. Rong Xu was suddenly unclear what had happened, but when he saw the phone on the coffee table, Rong Xu’s mouth twitched.
In the livestream room, which already held over a hundred million viewers—
[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha God Qin is sleeping in the study tonight! Hahahahaha!]
[So God Qin is henpecked! Rong Rong GJ! I’m dying of laughter 23333333333]
[Although it’s my first time seeing God Qin so tightly controlled, which seems a bit different from God Qin’s usual persona, for some reason I just feel… God Qin is so cute! God Qin being thrown into the study by Rong Rong… awww, just imagining it, it’s really too cute!]
From then on, Rong Xu and Qin Cheng never livestreamed again. No matter how much the fans pleaded, using every trick in the book, the two absolutely refused to livestream again.
They even spoke of the words “livestream” with lingering fear: “…Livestreaming is just too terrifying.”

Qin Chengcheng: Baby lost face in front of over a hundred million fans, I’m unhappy QAQ
Rong Rong: …You already had a precedent, and you still dared to livestream yourself!
