Afterward, Yuan Guangjin sent red envelopes in the group chat.

Everyone opened them and took a look. Holy crap! President Cai was so generous—each red envelope contained twenty thousand!

In an instant, everyone was glowing with excitement, feeling newly energized.

Yuan Guangjin added another message, roughly saying that the year-end bonuses would only be bigger.

[Long live President Cai! I'll work for President Cai for the rest of my life!]

[Haha, I know President Cai doesn't want us to tire ourselves out, but we definitely won't slack off. Let's get to work!]

[I'm inspired to create again!]

Cai Jinbai returned with the script. Xuan Yu flipped through it curiously and said, "The scale is pretty grand, and it looks good. But if they want to make it into a movie, the special effects can't be subpar. If another company filmed this script, it would probably be unwatchable."

Xuan Yu knew quite a bit about the inner workings of the entertainment industry. Special effects got outsourced layer by layer, and the final product was simply unbearable to look at.

But they were different. With Jinbai around, special effects were not a problem at all.

Sure enough, Cai Jinbai said, "I'll personally oversee the special effects. As for the actors, this time we'll find handsome men and beautiful women. During filming, they'll undergo training for a while, and we'll assign the roles according to their results afterward. Xuan, keep an eye on the special effects this time."

"No problem." Xuan Yu tossed the script aside and cracked his knuckles, looking as though he could train them until they cried for their parents the very next second.

Cai Jinbai did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Take it easy. They aren't those tough little brats from the sect. They can't take one of your punches."

Xuan Yu said, "Don't worry. I know my limits."

Cai Jinbai remained skeptical.

With the project assignments handed down, Cai Jinbai did not need to worry about anything for the time being.

One Imperial Authority was currently being filmed, the movie was in preparation, the animation was also in production, and the microfilm competition had yet to end.

Cai Jinbai had nothing to do for the moment and planned to give himself a vacation.

"Xuan, let's go traveling."

"Sure." He had never refused anything Jinbai asked for.

After Xu Yuqing finished Director Chen's movie, the number of scripts handed to him only increased. His manager, Sister Liu, picked out the best ones for him. He currently had a historical drama awaiting broadcast and a movie, both excellent resources.

After that, Sister Liu got him a travel variety show.

Xu Yuqing had a good personality. He respected women and knew how to take care of people, so those traits were amplified in this variety show, making many passersby become fond of him. They all said that if they were looking for a boyfriend, they should find someone like Xu Yuqing. Although there were some frictions among the people traveling with him, most of them got along quite well, making the viewers happy to watch.

That day, Xu Yuqing and the others were carrying out a task abroad. They had to complete it before they could receive funding to travel to their next destination.

While they were performing on the street, one of the actresses suddenly became excited. She grabbed Xu Yuqing's arm and spoke in a low voice.

"Quick, look over there. Isn't that your boss? Are those President Cai and Vice President Xuan?"

Xu Yuqing looked over at her words, then said in surprise, "Yes. Why are President Cai and Vice President Xuan here?"

The two were not far away, sitting in a corner and drinking coffee. It was impressive that the actress had sharp enough eyes to spot them.

The director noticed something unusual about them and came over to ask. What? President Cai and Vice President Xuan were traveling abroad too?

The sharp-eyed director immediately decided that if he could get President Cai and Vice President Xuan on camera, this episode would definitely become even more popular.

He had Xu Yuqing go over and say hello.

Xu Yuqing hesitated, unsure whether he should disturb them.

Fortunately, Cai Jinbai noticed them at that moment as well.

He had not expected to run into Xu Yuqing by chance while abroad.

Clearly, the other party was filming a variety show.

But since they had met, they could exchange greetings.

Rubbing his hands together, the director asked Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu for their opinions on whether they could be filmed.

Cai Jinbai did not mind and agreed. Xuan Yu did not care either.

Overjoyed, the director hurried back to discuss how they should film the rest with the producer and assistants.

First of all, President Cai and Vice President Xuan absolutely could not have too few scenes, but the guests' screen time could not be reduced either.

That was easy. President Cai and Vice President Xuan seemed to be traveling as well. Since meeting was fate, they might as well travel together for this episode.

The director counted their funds and decided, with some pain, to allocate a bit more so they would not look too shabby.

But he had not expected Cai Jinbai to be so wealthy. He directly covered the travel expenses for this episode.

Xu Yuqing and the others no longer needed to "perform for money" on the streets. He treated them to food and drinks and took them sightseeing.

Xu Yuqing said, "President Cai is so generous!"

The other guests said, "President Cai is so handsome!"

"President Cai is so generous!"

"Haha, then this episode will be easy for us."

When this episode aired, the viewers could not help sighing that President Cai was truly like a God of Wealth who had descended upon them.

They were so envious they could barely stand it. Having someone pay to take them traveling felt absolutely wonderful.

[President Cai and Vice President Xuan are still so pleasing to the eye. So handsome.]

[No wonder there's been much less news about President Cai online lately. So he came traveling with Vice President Xuan. Hehe, I wonder if they'll stay in the same room?]

[Probably not. They're both so rich. How could they possibly book one room?]

But in reality, Cai Jinbai looked at the single room Xuan Yu had booked. "...?"

Xuan Yu said righteously, "Do we need to stay separately? Jinbai, we slept together growing up. There's no reason to split up just because we're traveling."

Even if there were spare rooms, he would still drag Jinbai along and refuse to let him stay in another one.

Cai Jinbai said, "...But if we're staying in one room, there's no need to book one with a king-sized bed, right? Aren't there suites? Two people, two beds."

Xuan Yu said, "Really? I didn't know. This one looked best, so I booked it."

Cai Jinbai shot him a glance. You didn't know? As if I'd believe that.

Heh. Had this dragon developed some little ulterior motive?

Remembering how Xuan always read fanfiction about the two of them, the explicit kind at that, Cai Jinbai could not help his ears turning red again. He told himself that the dragon was merely curious, not necessarily...

But now, he was very unsure. Could this dragon perhaps really have some feelings for him?

Chapter 44

After Cai Jinbai realized something was off about Xuan Yu, he looked at the only bed in the room. His previously steady heartbeat quietly sped up, and his emotions became strange and awkward. He immediately had the urge to book another room.

But he understood Xuan Yu especially well.

That dragon was overbearing beyond measure. Once he set his mind on something, even if it was not allowed, he had a thousand ways to make it happen.

If Cai Jinbai really booked another room, Xuan Yu might cause some kind of scene, or simply sneak into his room at night. In short, he wanted them to stay together, and in the end, Cai Jinbai would not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Cai Jinbai sighed. Forget it. The result would be the same anyway, so why bother?

He glanced toward the bathroom. Xuan was showering now. After thinking about it, he turned on the television to pass the time.

Not long afterward, Xuan Yu came out of the bathroom with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else.

Steam still rose from his body. He had not completely dried off the water droplets, and some trickled down his chest before disappearing into...

Cai Jinbai immediately looked away, his tone utterly calm. "Why did you come out like that?"

Xuan Yu raised a thick dark brow. A glint of darkness flashed through his eyes, but he showed no guilt whatsoever. "It's not like I've never come out like this before. Jinbai, dry my hair for me."

That was right. He had not even dried his hair yet.

Before, he simply had not cared and would wait for it to dry naturally. Sometimes, Cai Jinbai could not stand watching and would help him dry it.

Now, he was doing it deliberately, just waiting for Jinbai to make a move.

Cai Jinbai sighed almost inaudibly and beckoned. "Bring the hair dryer over."

Xuan Yu walked over. Cai Jinbai tossed a cushion onto the carpet and had him sit down, then plugged in the hair dryer and pressed a hand on his shoulder. "Stay still."

"Okay." Xuan Yu sat cross-legged obediently.

His shoulders were broad. He was taller and more solidly built than Cai Jinbai.

Therefore, even sitting on the floor, he was still so large that both his shoulders pressed directly against Cai Jinbai's legs.

Cai Jinbai only felt the spots where his legs touched the other man's shoulders gradually grow scorching hot.

But the noise of the hair dryer quickly drowned out his thoughts. Before long, he focused on drying Xuan Yu's hair.

As for Xuan Yu, he felt Jinbai's long fingers moving through his hair. Their bodies were touching, and he could seemingly feel the warmth radiating from Jinbai behind him. His mind wandered, and he could not help recalling the explicit novels he had read.

Dragons were lustful creatures. Though Xuan Yu had always devoted himself to cultivation and never considered himself overly desirous, he was still a dragon by nature.

Now, his true nature was exposed—or rather, his true nature was directed only at Jinbai.

Xuan Yu could not help wondering distractedly, Jinbai is so smart. Could he really fail to notice that something is off with me?

He would surely notice something, right? Then Jinbai... what exactly did he think of him?
