After adding everyone he wanted to add, Ji Mingzhu was still reluctant to leave the app. It wasn't every day he got to look through his husband's phone, and he was rather curious. What sort of people were his husband's friends?

He could count everyone on his own friend list on two hands, and none of them liked posting on Moments. His feed was quiet all day long, which made it terribly boring.

But he had just seen that his husband had over a thousand contacts!

With that many people, his husband's Moments feed had to be lively, right?

It felt as though someone had poured a glass of something sour into Ji Mingzhu's heart, sending little bubbles of discontent gurgling up.

He wanted a place in his husband's Moments feed too... but he didn't know what to post.

Ji Mingzhu held back and held back, but eventually he couldn't resist and lifted his head.

A second before he turned, Gu Shang hurriedly looked away, holding his neck stiffly as he stared unnaturally straight ahead.

Fortunately, Ji Mingzhu didn't notice. His husband's colorful Moments feed had completely absorbed his attention. He asked softly, "Honey, you have so many friends. Can I look through your Moments?"

Gu Shang gave him a puzzled look. "Go ahead if you want."

There were so many posts in his feed that he never bothered looking at it. Otherwise, he could spend all day doing nothing but scrolling through everyone else's Moments.

The corners of Ji Mingzhu's mouth lifted a little. He murmured an assent, obediently lowered his head, and tapped into the feed.

For some reason, Gu Shang grew curious too and naturally leaned over to look with him.

The first few posts were from business partners, and all of them were work-related advertisements. Nothing interesting.

Ji Mingzhu scrolled down, only to come across a scantily clad beauty!

The beauty had fashionable, long, wavy hair and was leisurely sunbathing, her lovely curves on display. Wearing sunglasses and vivid red lipstick, she smiled at the camera, sultry and radiant.

Ji Mingzhu was utterly stunned!

Although he knew people here were more liberal, and women could freely show off their lovely figures without being criticized, b-but... wasn't exposing even the cleft between her breasts a little too... W-w-was she really a respectable woman?

Ji Mingzhu immediately recalled the dirty talk he had overheard from the soldiers when he passed their rest area while delivering things to his eldest brother at the military camp.

Even some of the married soldiers had boasted about their visits to brothels, bragging that they had once been lucky enough to secure the company of some celebrated young courtesan, how smooth and soft her exquisite skin had been, how daring and seductive her clothing, and so on.

At first, Ji Mingzhu hadn't understood what they were talking about and had even stopped outside the tent to listen for a while.

Then the new recruits inside had spotted him. Their faces had instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment, and they had wished they could crawl into a crack in the ground and start their lives over.

When his eldest brother found out, he had been furious. He tightened discipline throughout the camp and severely punished everyone who had indulged in dirty talk. Only then had Ji Mingzhu gained a hazy understanding of such things.

Why was there something so explicit on his husband's phone? Could it be... could it be...

The young man's delicate brows drew together. If he hadn't learned on their wedding day that his husband was still a virgin, he probably would have burst into aggrieved tears.

Ji Mingzhu didn't browse the internet, so he didn't know that, in modern meme terms, this feeling was probably called "Nobody makes it out of their partner's phone alive."

He gave a faint sniff, on the verge of tears. "Honey, who is this?"

Gu Shang had actually been the one getting angry.

He had been watching Ji Mingzhu happily scroll through his phone, his little face as solemn as though he were already in class. It had been rather cute.

Then he had scrolled down to a woman wearing a bikini.

Well, would you look at that. This pampered little thing who did nothing but call him honey had actually stopped right there!!!

He had even opened the picture and zoomed in, right in front of him!!!

Did he think Gu Shang was dead?!

Well played, Ji Mingzhu. Not even pretending in front of him anymore, was he? He knew Ji Mingzhu was actually straight and didn't like men, but couldn't he at least look in secret?

First he had asked for his friend's and subordinate's contact details right in front of him, and now he was admiring a bikini-clad beauty in front of him too. Was he determined to make a bigger cuckold of him, or did he think Gu Shang treated him too well?

The man's handsome face was thunderous, dark as the bottom of a pot.

He had intended to lose his temper and make this lousy actor tone down his straight-guy tendencies, instead of taking a generous paycheck while still finding ways to annoy him. But before he could speak, the culprit had turned the tables, tearfully asking who the woman was.

The young man's soft, tender lips were pressed tightly together, hiding that cute, eye-catching little dimple.

A glistening flush had spread around his beautiful, dewy, peach-blossom eyes, as though he had suffered some terrible injustice. He struggled so hard to keep his tears from falling that even the little curves beneath his eyes had turned faintly pink, making those eyes all the more alluring.

Gu Shang was baffled. "What are you crying for?"

He was clearly the one whose behavior had left Gu Shang feeling faintly cuckolded, so why was he acting like an aggrieved spouse who had caught his partner cheating red-handed?

As far as Gu Shang was concerned, Ji Mingzhu shouldn't be taking any training classes. He should go straight to acting school.

Afraid Gu Shang would notice his tears, Ji Mingzhu hurriedly lowered his head.

But the moment he looked down, he saw his own flat chest. Tears immediately spilled from his eyes, and he asked in a muffled voice, "Honey, do you like looking at girls...?"

Ji Mingzhu was too embarrassed to be more explicit, and he choked up halfway through.

Sob, sob, sob. He was a boy. His chest wasn't that big. Sob, sob, sob, sob. Would his husband dislike him? He could work out. He could try hard to make his chest bigger too.

Gu Shang: "???"

Who exactly was the one who liked looking???

Ji Mingzhu was clearly the one who had zoomed in to examine the beauty! Asking for other people's contact details right in front of him was bad enough, but now he was shifting the blame right to his face too?!
