Chapter 42: Derailed

Lin Jianlu unconsciously held out his hand, and the man grabbed it, pulling him out of the car.

"Aren't you cold?" Lin Jianlu asked.

The man's palm was hot.

"Yeah, a bit" Xie Wang replied, then casually draped his jacket over his shoulders.

Lin Jianlu: "..."

Dang, all covered up.

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned it!

"YoYo, let's go upstairs," Xie Wang said. "The director and everyone else are already here."

In the large private room Xie Wang had reserved, a room full of people were chatting animatedly.

"Da Wang, you're so slow!" Chen Yimo was the first to call out, waving. "YoYo, I saved a seat for you."

"Thanks." Lin Jianlu was about to walk over, but Xie Wang beat him to it, taking the empty seat next to Chen Yimo and leaving the spot beside him for Lin Jianlu.

"Are you two still in character?" the director scolded with a smile, grabbing the menu to order some food.This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html

Lin Jianlu didn't like to talk in crowded settings, so he'd just eat whatever everyone else ordered.

"Da Wang, why did you pick barbecue?" Chen Yimo asked. "The only omega in our crew probably doesn't like barbecue. I feel like YoYo would prefer exquisite small portions."

Xie Wang: "Haha."

No, he likes it.

Even before he was reborn, Xie Wang knew that Lin Jianlu and his player friend Wei Lan often went out to barbecue stalls late at night.

At that time, Xie Wang had once hit his susceptible period and hurried home, wanting to find Lin Jianlu to let off steam. But Lin Jianlu wasn't there; when he asked, he found out Lin Jianlu was out at a barbecue stall with Wei Lan.

In an irritable mood due to his susceptible period, Xie Wang drove over to find him. The two omegas—one cold, the other old-fashioned—exchanged a few quiet words, then Lin Jianlu finally got in the car indifferently and went back with him, only to be thoroughly "dealt with" in the car.

Thinking back on it now, Xie Wang figured the two probably hadn't talked about anything serious.

"I'm good with anything," Lin Jianlu said.

"I already ordered for you," Xie Wang said.

Fortunately, his pre-rebirth experience wasn't entirely useless.

Lin Jianlu: "Thank you."

The indoor temperature was set quite high. Xie Wang took off his jacket again, resting his well-defined, muscular arm along the edge of the table.

Leaning slightly forward, the alpha propped his chin on his right hand while casually flipping through the menu with his left.

"Do you want this?" Xie Wang tapped one line on the menu with his left hand fingertip, pushing it toward Lin Jianlu.

The alpha's knuckles were slightly prominent, veins faintly visible on the back of his hand. His nails were neatly trimmed and clear, and his silver watch band gleamed coldly.

Xie Wang urged: "Hmm?"

Pulled out of a brief daze, Lin Jianlu finally noticed what words his fingertip was pressing down on: Strawberry Cheesecake.

Lin Jianlu: "Yes."

"Why don't you let YoYo order for himself?" Chen Yimo teased from the side. "So stingy, Da Wang."

Xie Wang: "You talk too much."

You don't know a damn thing.

Horny deer likes being taken care of.

Chen Yimo just chuckled, unlocked his phone, and sent a short video for fun.

@Silent1: [Video], Hidden Blade crew. Da Wang broke character today, so he treated the whole crew to dinner.

Comment Section—

@FrenchWindow: Hahaha, Teacher Xie's been acting for so many years, and he still breaks character? Who's so funny? Don't tell me it was you.

@FullLengthMirror: Is this your crew? So many As! I only spotted one omega—the one on Xie Wang's left. He's so beautiful.

@DoubleBed: @NineColoredDeerYoYo, it's him! I think what's even more amazing is his singing. His cool and clear youthful voice is so nice to the ears.

@WashBasin: YoYo and Teacher Xie actually have a nice CP vibe. Looking forward to your movie!

@Sofa: Is this the little hostage in Hidden Blade? Smirk. jpg Word is, there are loads of bondage scenes. I stan this O's cold face. Lustful.jpg

"Da Wang, look." Chen Yimo held up his phone. "My fan praised you two for having a CP vibe."

What Xie Wang cared more about was the next comment.

Why were people everywhere always eyeing Lin Jianlu?

"Lin Jianlu still has two scenes left," the director reminded him after checking with the script supervisor. "The final rescue and the warm, everyday moments after reconciliation with your husband."

Lin Jianlu: "Yes."

"The everyday scenes are a bit tricky to film," the director continued. "I need warmth and affection in your eyes, a sense of no bad feelings between lovers. Spend some time with Da Wang and get comfortable with each other."

Lin Jianlu: "Okay."

At some point, the alpha guy beside him had stood up and grabbed one of the freshly placed beer bottles from the center of the table.

Chen Yimo: "I'll go get a bottle opener."

"No need." Xie Wang positioned two beer bottles, giving one a quick tap against the other, popping off the cap with ease.

Then, under Lin Jianlu's riveted gaze, Xie Wang gave a firm slap to the second bottle with his right hand, sending its cap flying as well.

The two opened beers, still foaming, were placed on the table. Xie Wang took a napkin and, with a slight twist of his wrist, wiped his hand clean.

"Drivers stick to juice. The rest of us can have beer," Xie Wang announced.

A faint scent of beer lingered in the air, and Lin Jianlu's gaze remained fixed on Xie Wang's hand as he wiped it off.

Xie Wang's bottle-opening move was seriously A.

He'd love to have Xie Wang open bottle caps all night.

Xie Wang slid a glass in front of him and filled it to the brim with beer.

Lin Jianlu: "…Thanks."

"YoYo, you drink?" Chen Yimo asked in surprise. "I can't tell."

Oh, there's a lot you can't tell.

Xie Wang thought to himself.

He'd seen Lin Jianlu drink a few times, both before and after his rebirth.

Xie Wang poured himself some juice, not touching the alcohol.

Lin Jianlu took a small sip of the beer, and for some reason, it tasted better than any liquor he'd had before.

"Senior, is there anything different about the intimate scenes we're going to film compared to the previous ones?" Lin Jianlu asked quietly.

Xie Wang: "…"

You're on the right track.

Lin Jianlu struck up the conversation again.

But then… something brushed against his calf, leaving a faint warmth.

Lin Jianlu: "Ah, sorry, I accidentally kicked you."

Xie Wang: "…It's fine."

"To answer your question." Xie Wang explained, "In the beginning, when we filmed that temporary mark intimate scene, there was still tension between the detective and his wife. So even if you acted unfamiliar with me, it's understandable."

Xie Wang: "But after the kidnapping, the separation, and then fighting against the enemy together, our relationship has deepened. Whether it's a kiss or… anything else, it needs to be more intense and passionate."This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html

More intense and passionate.

I like that.

Lin Jianlu thought to himself.

The omega's ears turned a little red without him realizing it.

"In other words, your eyes must show you love me heart and soul, and the same goes for me," Xie Wang said. "I love you so much."

Lin Jianlu's hand movements paused for a moment.

The way the alpha's deep, steady voice delivered "I love you so much" was simply too sexy.

Even though he knew Xie Wang was only saying it to his character, Xu Linyou, he couldn't help but feel a tingling warmth spreading down his spine.

I really want to sleep with Xie Wang.

I really want to do today's Xie Wang.

Just then, Xie Wang was sliding white mushrooms off a skewer one by one and piling them on Lin Jianlu's plate.

While he was occupied, a clear, metallic sound echoed by his feet—Lin Jianlu had dropped a metal bracelet onto the ground.

Xie Wang: "."

Lin Jianlu pushed back his chair, crouching down and leaning against Xie Wang's calf to retrieve the bracelet from the floor.

Xie Wang: "…"

Ss!

He couldn't resist stealing a glance from the corner of his eye, catching a view of the omega's slender back and the slight lift of his shirt hem as he moved.

Lin Jianlu!

Everything happened in just a few seconds.

The omega's hand brushed against his calf as he reached out to pick up the bracelet, then slowly and indifferently sat back, grabbed a napkin, and wiped the bracelet as if nothing had happened.

If Lin Jianlu weren't constantly sneaking glances to gauge his reaction, this little scene would have been flawless.

Bronze player YoYo was already showing signs of leveling up to silver.

"Your shirt," Xie Wang said, reaching out to fix the hem that had ridden up, tugging it down with a firm grip—not gentle in the least.

Lin Jianlu, however, seemed pleased that he had taken the bait, and his eyes smiled a lot.

Xie Wang thought his wife was cute again.

Not sweet O, not pure and cold O, scumbag O is fine too, little scumbag O seems pretty cute too.

He wanted to tease his wife.

Lin Jianlu's favorite BBQ place was that little spot near X University he often went to with Wei Lan.

Lin Jianlu had other intentions when Xie Wang offered to treat everyone tonight, but now he realized that the BBQ from this place perfectly suited his taste.

He loved these grilled white mushrooms sprinkled with rich seasoning.

As if… everything Xie Wang gives him or takes him to eat surprisingly matches his tastes.

"Take a day off tomorrow," the drunken director slurred. "And get your asses back to shooting the day after. I want to win awards and make money."

"Let's go." Xie Wang said. "I'll take YoYo back to school."

"!" Lin Jianlu was pulled up by the wrist, following Xie Wang out.

Are we having sex? Are we?

Last time, it was the same—he said they were going back to school, but Xie Wang drove the car to his home instead.

The snowflakes outside were falling even heavier now.

"Wait here for me," Xie Wang said.

Lin Jianlu waited under the eaves. The tall alpha came back with an umbrella, opened it, and draped one arm over his shoulder, walking side by side with him into the swirling snow.

It was freezing cold, but the alpha's embrace felt so warm.

The alpha slammed the car door shut, grabbed a towel, and roughly wiped away the snow that had been blown onto his hair. When he saw Lin Jianlu watching, he raised an eyebrow.

"If you're tired, close your eyes for a bit." Xie Wang said.

The alpha grabbed a can of coffee from the car, and effortlessly opened the tab with one hand. A satisfying click followed, and the car filled with the rich aroma of coffee.

"I'll drink this to stay alert for the drive tonight." Xie Wang said.

The alpha tilted his head back and finished the coffee, crumpled the metal can in his hand, and tossed it out the window, the can landing neatly in the trash bin with a bang. Then, he pulled out the seatbelt and fastened it.

So hot.

Lin Jianlu didn't even want to blink.

He "clumsily" tugged at the seatbelt twice, but couldn't get it out.

Xie Wang smiled helplessly and helped him fasten the seatbelt.

Not interested in car play?

Lin Jianlu wanted to ask.

The car slowly pulled out of the parking lot, and the route seemed to be heading toward X University?

Today's Xie Wang made it hard for Lin Jianlu to look away.

Whether it was the hand resting casually on the steering wheel while waiting at a red light, or the low curse when the car music suddenly stuck, everything was so fierce A.

His body felt soft, craving an embrace.

But the car was heading toward X University.

"Senior," as they waited for the last red light, Lin Jianlu spoke up. "I think I accidentally left my pheromone suppressor collar by your bathtub."

Xie Wang: "…"

First, just how many fish hooks has Lin Jianlu buried in his house?

Second, this cheese seems to be getting impatient.

"Really?" Xie Wang said. "Then I'll drive it over to you tomorrow."

Lin Jianlu: "I also lost my charging cable."

Xie Wang: "Your play… your good roommate should be able to lend you one for now, right?"

Xie Wang: "Is there anything else you've lost? I'll pack it all up and bring it to you tomorrow."

Lin Jianlu gave a barely noticeable pout.

He'd been so fierce last time that the omega was crying like that in bed. Xie Wang didn't plan on keeping him tonight. He couldn't help himself and was worried he'd hurt Lin Jianlu.

Besides, he's learned from Teacher Lin that only by casting a long line can he catch a big fish.

He must not rush it.

Some things have to be said by the tricky horny deer himself.

Xie Wang rolled down the car window, called out to the familiar security guard, and drove directly to the omega dorm.

Xie Wang: "Good night, YoYo."

Lin Jianlu: "…"

Lin Jianlu: "Yeah, good night."

The car drove far away, and Xie Wang couldn't help laughing.

The alpha was laughing loudly in the car.

The angry Lin Jianlu was just too cute.

Turns out his wife is so fun to tease.

He laughed so hard that he couldn't contain his grapefruit-scented alpha pheromones, and the car was filled with the smell of grapefruit.

Xie Wang: "...?"

His susceptible period was here.
