YA Ch78: Cherry

This person was actually reading a yellow novel where he was the protagonist!

Ming Yan found it hard to understand this behavior. He closed his eyes, which had been irritated, and asked quietly, “Is it good?”

Lu Yu, who was deeply engrossed, wiped a bit of drool and said, “The writing is a bit trashy, but it’s full of big chunks of meat. Ahem…”

Suddenly realizing that Ming Yan was speaking, Lu Yu flusteredly closed the webpage. In his panic, he accidentally clicked on a pop-up ad, and instead of closing the page, several more popped up. A large, brightly colored ad appeared in the center of the screen with a cheerful woman and loud, upbeat music:

Lu Yu: “……”

Ming Yan was very helpless: “You were reading this the whole time?”

Lu Yu shook his head: “No, I was doing something serious.”

Regaining his composure, Lu Yu closed each yellow page and proudly displayed a document at the bottom of the webpage, titled Alpha Son-in-Law (Lu Yu X Ming Yan).

“There are a lot of people shipping us now. Just one week in, and it’s already ranked in the top three topics on fan sites!” Lu Yu proudly showed Ming Yan the “Ming Taiyu” topic, which included various live stream clips, fan art, novels, detailed analysis essays, and so on. It was very rich.

During Lu Yu’s explanation, he spotted a cute Q-version drawing of Ming Yan with a two-head height ratio, saved it on a whim, and planned to use it as a profile picture for his chat app.

“So, are you going to join in?” Ming Yan pressed his aching temples.

“Even though there’s a lot of fan work, the writing isn’t great. I decided to cut a piece of my own flesh and produce some good content. But I haven’t written this kind of stuff before, so I wanted to see how others write it for some inspiration. Then that author said they posted the content on an unofficial site, so I clicked on it…”

Lu Yu put his hands on his knees, sitting up straighter, and looked at Ming Yan, who was leaning on the desk with one hand, as if he were an elementary student explaining to a strict teacher why he was reading a yellow book.

Ming Yan raised an eyebrow: “Isn’t it embarrassing to write your own fanfic?” Just seeing a novel with his name in it made Ming Yan shiver all over, wanting to punch the computer screen. Yet Lu Yu not only enjoyed reading it but also wrote his own!

“A bit… but also quite exciting,” Lu Yu said with a grin, leaning closer to Ming Yan, looking down at him. “Besides, I can also learn some lines.”

Saying this, Lu Yu suddenly picked up Ming Yan and set him on the desk, leaning in to lick his soft lips and whispering in a breathy voice, “Baby, you’re so sweet.”

Ming Yan’s expression was flat: “You’re so greasy.”

Lu Yu scratched his head: “Really? I just learned that from the novel.”

Ming Yan, amused, reached out and pinched Lu Yu’s face: “Don’t learn nonsense. The people who write yellow books probably haven’t even kissed.”

Lu Yu blinked and propped himself up on the edge of the desk, slowly wedging himself between Ming Yan’s legs, trapping him. With a face still clear and innocent, he asked earnestly, “So how should I say it?”

Ming Yan, pushed back with one hand supporting himself, looked at Lu Yu with a half-smile and said slowly, “I just ate a cherry, and my tongue still tastes like cherries. Do you want to try?”

Lu Yu’s breath became rapid, and he leaned in urgently to find Ming Yan’s lips, eager to taste the cherry flavor on his tongue. The next second, his mouth was filled with a large cherry.

Ming Yan, with a serious expression, asked, “Is it good?”

Lu Yu’s cheeks were puffed out, disbelief written all over his face, and he was flustered: “Yan-ge!”

The flustered guy reached out with his large hand to hold the back of Ming Yan’s head and kissed him fiercely. The juicy cherry was squished and burst between their lips. The taste of cherries was all over his tongue, and it was very sweet.

Just as the two were about to lose control, Ming Yan called a halt, took a few breaths, leaned softly against Lu Yu’s shoulder, and said, “Alright, I’m going to bed now.”

Lu Yu hugged the person tightly, trying to calm the heat in his body, and rubbed against him, “I’m going too.”

“Aren’t you going to write your Alpha Son-in-Law now?” Ming Yan laughed lightly.

Lu Yu, holding Ming Yan like a child, lifted him from the desk and said, “No rush. Sleeping is more urgent right now.”

After their playful antics, they both forgot about the Lu family affair and went straight to bed.

Lu Yu initially wanted to go to sleep with the taste of cherries, but Ming Yan ordered him to brush his teeth, so he had to put Ming Yan on the bed and hurriedly went to wash up. When he returned, Ming Yan was already lying down and about to fall asleep.

Lu Yu jumped onto the bed, skillfully snuggled into the covers, and pulled the person facing away into his arms.

Lu Yu nuzzled Ming Yan’s neck and complained by his ear, “The cherry flavor in my mouth is gone; it’s not sweet anymore. You should try.”

Ming Yan, not turning his head, reached out and pinched him.

“Ah!” Lu Yu yelped in pain and finally settled down. Counting the days with his fingers, there were still two days to endure. He had to bear it!

He who is to be given a great feast must first endure two days of hunger…

Holding on to the delicacies he couldn’t eat, Lu Yu dreamed again.

In the dream, they were back at university, and Lu Yu had received a large sum of manuscript fees. Excited, he went to the art academy to find Ming Yan: “Ah Yan, my book has been published, and they gave me a huge first print fee. I’m treating you to the best hotel! I booked a top-floor restaurant with a view; they have your favorite lobster.”

Ming Yan, dressed in beige casual wear and wearing a painter’s hat, looked especially cute. He threw his painting tools to Lu Yu and rolled his eyes: “I’ve never heard of celebrating by staying in a hotel.”

Lu Yu, carrying the painting supplies box, flattered Ming Yan, “Come on, A-Yan, I just started eating meat and am so hungry. I’m begging you. I also bought strawberry and cherry flavors, both of which you like.”

Dream Ming Yan tilted his chin slightly and finally nodded.

Lu Yu laughed so loudly that he woke himself up.

“Drool dripped on my pillow.” Ming Yan pushed away the large head in disgust, got up, and opened the door to let in the president ball.

“There’s no drool,” Lu Yu said, touching his chin, and got up to follow Ming Yan to wash up.

Ming Yan glanced at a message from Xiao Jiang, which included a photo of the situation outside the company at this time, and frowned: “There are many reporters and media outside the company now; we need to call for security.”

Facing the crowded scene, the in-house security was insufficient. They needed to hire a professional security company to send large, strong bodyguards to clear the way.

Lu Yu, with a toothbrush in his mouth, said, “No need. I have a plan.”

An hour later, two people dressed in large bear mascot costumes walked hand in hand to the front of the Shenyu Technology building, swaying and shaking.

Xiao Jiang went over and blocked the crouching reporters: “Sorry, everyone. These are our promotional mascots for today. Please make way.”

The crowd didn’t pay much attention and let the large mascots pass.

Hong Wuyang, standing in the company lobby, said with concern to Yang Shen, “I should call my bodyguards to help. With so many people, today’s live broadcast might not start on time.”

Lao Yang looked at him in surprise. This top supporter had naturally integrated into Chenyu, sharing the company’s concerns and becoming a dedicated part of the team.

The staff in the mascot costumes came over, bumped into the worried young master Hong, and, under the puzzled gaze of the older brother, removed the bear heads to reveal Lu Yu’s grinning face: “Bodyguards are too expensive. Just give me the money you’d spend on bodyguards, and I’ll handle it myself.”
