FIMA Ch146: Boyfriend

The commotion in the room didn’t die down until midnight.

When Xie Fengqing woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

He reached out and felt the space beside him; the bedsheets were slightly cool. Gu Siyuan was no longer in bed.

He sat up abruptly: “Gu Siyuan…”

A faint sound came from nearby.

Gu Siyuan walked out of the small adjoining meeting room, looked at him, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Fengqing’s eyes lit up: “I thought you…”

With his intelligence, Gu Siyuan saw through his thoughts at a single glance. He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and said flatly to Xie Fengqing, “According to what you said, the first option. We will love each other for the rest of our lives. So, there is no need for you to worry needlessly.”

Xie Fengqing froze for a moment, then hugged the quilt tightly and burst into an uncontrollable, joyous laugh.

Seeing him laugh so happily, Gu Siyuan’s mood was also quite good.

He curled the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes, and went back to checking the messages on his phone. There were company work reports, updates on the police station’s handling of the situation, and short videos circulating online about the incident at the banquet hall.

Just then, a warmth wrapped around his waist.

Xie Fengqing hugged his waist with both hands, pressed his face against his back, and repeated those words: “We will love each other for the rest of our lives.”

Gu Siyuan nodded: “Mm.”

For the first time, Xie Fengqing truly understood what it felt like to have flowers blooming in his heart.

He hugged Gu Siyuan a bit tighter, uncontrollable laughter bubbling up from his throat.

Gu Siyuan raised a sword-like eyebrow, put down his phone, turned around, and ruffled the top of Xie Fengqing’s hair: “How is it?”

Xie Fengqing looked up: “How is what?”

Gu Siyuan’s expression didn’t change, his voice crisp: “How does your body feel right now? How did last night feel?”

Xie Fengqing blanked slightly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Gu Siyuan continued to stare straight at him without saying a word.

Xie Fengqing cracked first. He licked his lips and said, “Very good.”

Gu Siyuan: “Which one, the first question or the second?”

Xie Fengqing cast a glance at Gu Siyuan. This man always looked calm and self-possessed, as if he would never lose his composure. But when doing that, he leaned heavily towards the rough and wild type. However, perhaps he was simply naturally gifted and highly capable, because in the end, it had been incredibly comfortable and harmonious for both of them.

He pressed his face against Gu Siyuan’s lower back and mumbled, “Everything is good.”

Gu Siyuan nodded: “As long as it’s good. I hope this boyfriend won’t disappoint you.”

Xie Fengqing paused at the term, turning his head to look at him: “Boyfriend?”

Gu Siyuan raised an eyebrow: “What else?”

Ignoring his soreness, Xie Fengqing kneeled up on the bed and threw himself into Gu Siyuan’s arms, wrapping his hands around his neck: “Hehe, boyfriend, does this mean we’ve finally gotten back together?”

Gu Siyuan stroked his spine and corrected him seriously: “We are dating.”

The curve of Xie Fengqing’s lips grew wider. Unable to contain his overflowing joy, he hugged Gu Siyuan and started kissing him again.

Gu Siyuan was inherently someone who took control. Now that he had made a decision, there was no more hesitation. He reached out, lifted Xie Fengqing’s chin, and kissed him back deeply, stealing away all his breath.

Dating actually wasn’t too bad.

After a long moment, when the person in his arms was gasping for air, Gu Siyuan let him go: “I ordered food. Go wash up first.”

“Mm…” Xie Fengqing clung to him like glue, absolutely unwilling to leave: “Don’t wanna go…”

Gu Siyuan massaged the back of his neck: “Be obedient.”

His voice was low and deep.

Xie Fengqing’s heart softened, and his body followed suit. Supported by Gu Siyuan, he climbed out of bed, slipped into some slippers, and headed into the bathroom.

When he came out, Gu Siyuan was sitting on the sofa setting out the food, his movements calm and elegant.

A bright smile bloomed on Xie Fengqing’s face as he excitedly hopped over to Gu Siyuan’s side: “Boyfriend!”

“Mm.” Gu Siyuan reached out to steady him and said, “Come eat.”

“Okay,” Xie Fengqing nodded vigorously.

On the table were kelp and pork rib soup, peas with shrimp, and steamed sea bass—all relatively light dishes.

Gu Siyuan handed a pair of chopsticks to Xie Fengqing.

“Thank you, boyfriend,” Xie Fengqing smiled. “This is actually my first time eating a meal alone with you.”

Gu Siyuan cast a glance at him.

Chewing on a tender piece of shrimp, Xie Fengqing asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Gu Siyuan used serving chopsticks to place a piece of sea bass into his bowl. “The fish is good.”

“Okay, thank you, Classmate Gu,” Xie Fengqing’s eyes crinkled into a smile.

Gu Siyuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

Actually, according to the original owner’s memories, Xie Fengqing and the original owner had definitely gone on private dates and eaten together.

Xie Fengqing was subconsciously separating him from the original owner.

This was very good.

A short while later, Xie Fengqing finished the food in his bowl and held it out toward Gu Siyuan again: “Boyfriend…”

Gu Siyuan shot him a look, took a spoon, and scooped some more peas and shrimp for him.

Xie Fengqing instantly beamed: “Thank you, President Gu.”

Gu Siyuan also served himself a little bit. The hotel’s cooking was quite good.

Just then, Xie Fengqing held out his bowl again: “Boyfriend…”

Gu Siyuan simply put a little bit of everything into his bowl and scooped a bowl of soup to place next to it.

However, before he could even take two bites…

Xie Fengqing tilted his head up and called out again with a cheeky grin: “Boyfriend…”

During the span of a single meal, he had repeated that word an uncountable number of times. It was as if he wanted to chew the word up with his food, swallow it into his stomach, and fuse it into his very bones and blood.

Gu Siyuan raised his hand, his thumb lightly brushing across Xie Fengqing’s throat. His eyes grew dark: “Classmate Xie, doesn’t your throat hurt? Last night… I seem to recall it barely got a moment of rest.”

“…” Xie Fengqing’s cheeks instantly flushed red.

But immediately, he raised his chin proudly: “Why would it hurt?! Do I look like someone that weak? If I wasn’t giving you face, boyfriend, who knows whose throat would be hurting right now!”

Gu Siyuan stared at him for a moment. The large hand resting on his neck tightened slightly: “Is that so?”

Xie Fengqing shrank his neck back but remained stubborn: “Yes… I’m very strong, you know! Do you know what kind of situation this is? Have you read novels? This is called doing it for love…”

“No wonder,” Gu Siyuan narrowed his eyes. “Not only addicted to games, but also addicted to novels. No wonder your final GPA was only a 3.5. No wonder you’re a junior and still struggle to write a single essay. Later…”

“…” Xie Fengqing.

How did this… circle back to essays again?!

He smartly interrupted, knowing when to fold: “I was wrong, boyfriend. I was wrong.”

Gu Siyuan’s hand moved up to pinch his cheek, a terrifying smile on his face: “As long as you know you’re wrong. I’ll send you a reading list later. For now, eat your food properly.”

“…Mm, okay…” Xie Fengqing dragged out his response, wearing the tragic expression of a defeated king.

After eating and resting for a bit, the two left the room and went downstairs.

Xie Fengqing turned and asked, “Where are we going next?”

Gu Siyuan: “I don’t have work today. Where do you want to go?”

Xie Fengqing hugged his arm, smiling brightly: “Let’s go to your place then. We can go back, watch movies, and play games.”

Gu Siyuan nodded: “Alright.”

Xie Fengqing immediately pulled out his phone: “I’ll call a car.”

Gu Siyuan shook his head: “No need.”

At that moment, a black sedan slowly pulled up in front of them. The driver hurriedly got out, opened the back door, and addressed Gu Siyuan: “President Gu.”

Gu Siyuan nodded, turned his head, and said to Xie Fengqing, “Get in.”

Xie Fengqing’s eyes widened in surprise for a moment. But Gu Siyuan had already gotten in and was looking back at him: “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Xie Fengqing quickly shook his head and climbed into the car.

It was fine when he was walking, but the moment he sat down, a wave of soreness radiated from his lower back. Before his butt even fully settled onto the seat, Xie Fengqing just lay down completely, resting his head on Gu Siyuan’s thigh.

Realizing what was wrong, Gu Siyuan reached out and began massaging his waist.

Xie Fengqing’s eyes were filled with a blissful smile. He stared unblinking at Gu Siyuan.

Today, Gu Siyuan was wearing a simple white dress shirt and black suit pants. He looked tall, handsome, capable, and mature—completely unlike the person he remembered from before.

Actually, ever since they broke up, Gu Siyuan had been acting like someone he didn’t recognize, but it only made him like him even more.

Gu Siyuan looked down at him: “Not even blinking, aren’t your eyes tired?”

Xie Fengqing reached up to touch Gu Siyuan’s face, grinning: “President Gu is so handsome, how could I ever get tired of looking?”

His fingers were slender and pale, slightly cool, but exceptionally soft.

Gu Siyuan pressed a kiss to those fingers: “You look good too.”

Xie Fengqing smiled even more radiantly.

After a while, thinking of something, he asked softly, “President Gu, by the way, I haven’t asked you yet. What have you been doing recently? How did you suddenly become ‘President Gu’? And yesterday at the banquet hall too, Manager Cheng of that skyscraper…”

“I founded a company in the internet sector. The prospects are fairly good. I pulled in some investors, and the owner of the skyscraper happens to be one of them. I met Manager Cheng while having dinner with them earlier.”

Gu Siyuan’s expression didn’t change, his voice as casual as if he were discussing what he had for lunch.

This aura of treating massive achievements as if they were nothing was incredibly captivating.

Looking at his handsome side profile, Xie Fengqing’s heart couldn’t help but pound wildly again.

He knew things definitely weren’t as simple as Gu Siyuan made them sound. After all, the developer of that skyscraper was one of the top billionaires in the city, a whole tier above his own father. But precisely because of this, he felt an unparalleled sense of pride for Gu Siyuan.

Unable to hold back, Xie Fengqing pushed himself up and kissed Gu Siyuan’s face several times: “Boyfriend, you’re amazing.”

Gu Siyuan wrapped an arm around his waist: “Mm.”

“Okay then,” Xie Fengqing puffed his cheeks, reaching out to toy with the buttons on Gu Siyuan’s shirt.

About half an hour later.

The car stopped in front of a quiet, high-end residential complex.

Xie Fengqing looked around: “Where is this?”

Gu Siyuan: “I just moved a few days ago.”

Xie Fengqing turned and glared at him: “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Gu Siyuan glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said flatly: “Before, our relationship status was pending. But from now on, I will tell you everything regarding my daily life.”

Xie Fengqing instantly beamed, but then caught the phrasing: “Only regarding your daily life?”

Gu Siyuan looked at this guy who was pushing his luck and said indifferently, “Academics and work too. But I don’t think you’d be interested.”

Xie Fengqing pouted: “Who said so? If it’s related to you, I’m interested in it all.”

“Alright, I’ll tell you everything from now on,” Gu Siyuan pinched his soft cheek and led him inside.

The old Xie Fengqing had been arrogant and reserved; the current Xie Fengqing was direct and passionate, popping sweet nothings like they were candy.

Honestly, in this world, who could resist a boyfriend who was aloof and glamorous to the outside world, but acted like an adorable, clingy little mochi just for you?

Gu Siyuan’s new home was a high-ceilinged loft apartment with an massive floor plan. Because it was the penthouse, it even came with its own open-air swimming pool and a small garden.

Xie Fengqing toured the inside and out, then stood on the balcony with his hands on his hips: “This place is great. The night view is beautiful too, facing the lake park right across the way.”

Sitting on the sofa checking his phone, Gu Siyuan casually replied, “If you like it, it’s yours.”

Xie Fengqing turned around with a laugh, practically skipping over to throw himself onto Gu Siyuan, hugging him and kissing him: “How is my boyfriend so generous?”

Gu Siyuan held him with one arm: “It’s what I should do.”

Xie Fengqing lounged in his arms, laughing for a while before pulling out his own phone to check it. From the moment they got into bed last night until now, he hadn’t even had the chance to touch it.

The moment he opened it, a flood of messages greeted him. Most of them were from Qiu Yu. They were a mix of pictures, text, and several video clips.

“Holy fck, Xie Fengqing, you are seriously about to blow up.” “Handsome Gu was actually at the event last night, and he fcking fought for you again!”

“Xie Fengqing, I’m so f*cking jealous of you. The way Handsome Gu beat people up was too damn cool.”

…

Xie Fengqing skimmed past Qiu Yu’s nonsense and clicked the link he had sent. It led to a short video on Douyin (TikTok). The likes had already surpassed a million, and the comment section was exploding.

The video was spliced together from several clips, but the editing was top-notch and highly professional. It featured Gu Siyuan, Xie Fengqing, Xie Fengqing’s dad, and that perverted fat guy. However, everyone else was just a supporting character; Gu Siyuan was the undeniable star.

The video perfectly highlighted Gu Siyuan’s coldness and handsome features, as well as his dominant, unyielding aura. Even though he was currently lounging in the actual man’s arms, Xie Fengqing couldn’t help but loop the short video several times.

It wasn’t until he practically memorized every frame that he scrolled down to read the comments.

“I originally came here to curse out some scumbag, but I ended up getting force-fed dog food (PDA) instead.”

“Is there something wrong with me? Why do I insist on watching this and falling for a man who doesn’t belong to me? He’s too handsome.”

“Hello, 110? Yes, Police? I’d like to report a case of severe animal cruelty against single dogs here.”

“So handsome, so handsome! The hero saving the beauty!”

These made up the majority of the comments.

However, further down, there was also a highly-liked comment that read: “Everyone is celebrating too early. I’m their classmate from N University. This guy looks like a handsome CEO, but he’s actually a cheating scumbag, and a sugar baby to boot…”

As soon as this comment was posted, many others chimed in:

“Yes, yes, yes! I play Great Wilderness, and I know too. Isn’t that Great God Xie and his sugar-baby ex-boyfriend?”

“I’m also an N University student, reporting him with my real name here. This guy is a literal leeching scumbag. Great God Xie broke up with him last year.”

Seeing these comments, Xie Fengqing frowned: “Didn’t we already clarify in the game that the cheating incident was a misunderstanding? Why are they still…”

Gu Siyuan had already seen all this in the morning. Hearing this, he raised a hand to gently pat Xie Fengqing’s shoulder, saying coldly, “Don’t pay it any mind. Everything that happens leaves traces. Besides, they’re just a bunch of strangers talking.”

“Oh…” Xie Fengqing dragged out his response.

He slipped his hand into Gu Siyuan’s large palm, their fingers interlacing. The contrast in their skin tones and hand sizes was striking. Xie Fengqing shook Gu Siyuan’s hand gently, and his smile quickly returned.

He continued scrolling through the video’s comments.

Beneath the comments ‘exposing’ Gu Siyuan’s true face, many ordinary netizens were questioning the claims:

“Really? I find that so hard to believe. With a face like that and an aura that looks like he couldn’t care less about the entire world, how could he possibly be a sugar baby?”

“Yeah, I don’t believe it either. They say he’s a scumbag and they broke up, but the moment that gorgeous guy saw him, he ran straight over to act spoiled. That clearly shows they have a great relationship…”

“Right? You guys must have it wrong. If he’s a scumbag, why would he rush over to protect his beauty? Are you guys just jealous of the handsome guy?”

“Hehe, listening to you guys, I just realized this handsome guy is also a top student at N University! He’s even more charming now. Smart, handsome, and can fight. The perfect man.”

Naturally, these debates heavily stirred up public opinion. Many self-righteous commenters started criticizing people: “I despair for this world that only cares about looks.”

And: “This is a terrible influence on kids. How dare they promote a sugar baby scumbag like this? I worry for the future of our country.”

And: “Wow, fandom culture really applies to everything now. Even this kind of trash has fans defending him. Well, I wish you all end up with a sugar baby scumbag just like him.”

Xie Fengqing scrolled for a bit, but seeing people slander Gu Siyuan like this eventually made him angry.

He looked up at Gu Siyuan: “I’m going to log onto the game and clarify things for you again. I’m going to do a live stream and say it out loud.”

Gu Siyuan said casually, “As long as you’re happy. The computer is right there, no password.”

“Okay, boyfriend.” Xie Fengqing hopped off his lap, his fighting spirit ignited: “I’m going to fight on the battlefield for you.”

A rare trace of a smile spilled onto Gu Siyuan’s face: “General Xie, charge!”

Xie Fengqing first turned on the webcam and the streaming software. His popularity was already high, and coupled with the incident from the event yesterday, the moment his live stream went up, thousands of viewers flooded in, the numbers skyrocketing by the second.

Ignoring the chat, he moved the mouse to click the Great Wilderness icon on the desktop.

A few seconds later, a game account automatically logged in.

And in the next instant, Xie Fengqing and the millions of netizens in the live stream simultaneously widened their eyes in absolute shock.
