It's Rude to Peek at Someone Showering

"I told you he's married. Whether he's my husband or not, you can't flirt with him."

Xie Yanci stressed it again.

He and Xu Shi had kept their marriage secret, and for now, they had no intention of making it public.

Song Zhixing hated being lectured more than anything. "Oh, I happen to like married men."

So what?

Xie Yanci: "..."

There was no communicating with someone whose values were so different.

Xie Yanci shook his head, fastened his cuff link with one hand, and prepared to leave.

Song Zhixing suddenly stepped in front of him, leaned down, and whispered, "A word of warning: you're married, so don't go finding yourself a little lover on the side."

He meant that seriously.

Especially if he kept a little lover in the entertainment industry. If that got exposed, even the Xie Family's reputation would suffer.

Xie Yanci lowered his eyes and gave the dissolute, womanizing Alpha before him a meaningful look, correcting him:

"Xu Shi isn't my little lover."

He had no interest in people from the entertainment industry, and even less interest in things like romance.

"Good, then." Song Zhixing patted his shoulder. "If you don't want him, I won't hold back~"

With that, he pulled out Xie Yanci's pocket square and wiped his mouth with elegant refinement.

"Bye-bye~"

Xie Yanci: "..."

After getting the famous director's business card, Xu Shi immediately called Xiao Chi to show off.

"Seriously, Song Zhixing is a director who's won two international awards." Xiao Chi was particularly surprised.

By rights, for someone of Xu Shi's standing to audition for a Song Zhixing film was practically trying to gain clout far above his league.

Within the country, perhaps only Wen Yu qualified.

Recalling the rumors about that famous director, Xiao Chi ventured timidly, "You didn't sleep with him, did you?"

"Cough, cough..."

Xu Shi sprayed out a mouthful of coffee.

He hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe his clothes. "How could I possibly do something like that!"

Xie Yanci was notoriously jealous. He wouldn't dare provoke him.

[Actually, Song Zhixing is pretty good-looking.]

[He looks so wild and carefree. He must be better in bed than that old prude Xie Yanci. Maybe he even knows more tricks.]

[If only I could marry Song Zhixing. Maybe those two best actor trophies would be mine.]

[I want a divorce!]

"Song Zhixing has a contagious disease."

A familiar, low voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"!"

Xu Shi jumped, instinctively hung up, and looked back.

Xie Yanci's handsome, cold face loomed close, a hint of danger spilling from his dark eyes.

"What are you doing in my house!" Xu Shi sprang up, putting half a meter between them.

Such a big reaction?

Xie Yanci narrowed his dark eyes and slowly straightened, his towering, six-foot-three frame radiating pressure.

He handed over the document he was holding. "The script. I brought it over early so you could take a look."

This spacious, single-floor apartment downtown belonged to Xu Shi. He had knocked, but Xu Shi hadn't heard him.

"You got the script already?" Xu Shi was astonished and hurried over.

According to Xiao Chi, they hadn't even set an audition date for this film, and no information at all had been released.

They didn't even know the genre, yet Xie Yanci already had the script.

This really was the kind of treatment only connections could get you.

"I'll work hard!" Xu Shi felt like he was carrying the hopes of the entire village.

Before opening the script, he suddenly remembered what Xie Yanci had said and quietly leaned closer. "You said Song Zhixing has a contagious disease. Is that true?"

As indifferent as ever, Xie Yanci gave a quiet, clear monosyllable. "Yes."

The flu.

"Tsk, tsk."

[Sure enough, I shouldn't get too close to a philanderer like that.]

[When I go to nightclubs in the future, I have to remember to check the male escorts' test results. I can't go catching anything.]

Xie Yanci frowned.

[My husband really is the best.]

[Keeping clean is the best beauty treatment an Alpha can get.]

Xie Yanci raised an eyebrow.

The corners of his lips rose by a single pixel. Xu Shi didn't notice.

After casually flipping through a few pages of the script, Xu Shi's old aversion to reading kicked in again. He tossed it straight to Xie Yanci. "Read it for me, then tell me what happens."

Xie Yanci wanted to refuse.

Xu Shi immediately pressed down on his hand, rose onto his toes, and planted a firm kiss on his cheek. "Honey, you wouldn't turn me down, would you?"

"..."

Xie Yanci never went soft, but faced with Xu Shi's expectant eyes, he hesitated. "Mm."

Just this once.

His scheme successful, Xu Shi happily took his clothes into the bathroom.

He normally lived alone in this spacious apartment, so he had simply had the bathroom fitted with transparent glass.

Xie Yanci was tall. Standing in the living room, he only had to glance slightly sideways to see over every obstruction and take in the Beta's fair body in the bathroom.

Xu Shi really did have a fine figure. From Xie Yanci's angle, he could see the beautiful back arching and relaxing with each breath, his waist tracing an exquisitely drawn curve.

Droplets slowly ran down the straight line of his spine, finally disappearing over his faintly flushed buttocks.

Xie Yanci slowly looked away.

It was rude to peek at someone showering.

His throat felt a little dry, and the irritating sound of dripping water reached his ears now and then.

It left him restless.

Xie Yanci lowered his eyes and stared at the SpongeBob slippers on his feet for a very, very long time, but the agitation inside him still wouldn't settle.

He sighed and simply turned on the television.

The instant he pressed the power button on the remote, the sound of two men panting heavily rang out.

Xie Yanci frowned.

The television automatically resumed an unfinished film. The picture was dark, but the intertwined figures of the Alpha and Omega stood out unmistakably.

Xu Shi watched porn at home?

And on a television this conspicuous?

Xie Yanci stood stunned for a long while. The two men on the television kept going, even losing themselves in it completely.

"Honey, could you bring me my underwear? I forgot to grab it!" Xu Shi called out of the bathroom.

He also glanced back toward the living room.

Only then did he notice that his bathroom actually had transparent glass...

Did that mean he had just been showering right in front of Xie Yanci?

Xu Shi hurriedly wrapped himself in a bath towel and looked up, his gaze landing directly on the television in the living room.

[Holy shit, Xie Yanci is watching porn in my house!]

[Isn't he supposed to be a celibate Overbearing CEO? Watching porn openly in broad daylight?]

[Impotent men really are sleazy!]

As Xu Shi cursed inwardly, that tall, powerfully built figure kept drawing closer.

Xu Shi froze.

Then the bathroom door opened, and the Alpha walked straight inside.

"Y-you can just leave it outside..."

Xu Shi kept backing away. With a splash, he accidentally turned on the shower.

Droplets landed on Xie Yanci's expensive suit.

The Alpha didn't dodge. Instead, he took a few more steps forward, his dark eyes filled with desires too obscure to make out.

The heavy panting of the two men on the television still reached his ears. Xu Shi swallowed timidly:

"What are you trying to do?"
