I'll go back to Shandong and wait for you

Th-this... Wu Hao had called Cui Xiangxiang Uncle Cui!!

Wei Zisu suddenly seemed to have grown a whole lot more brains. He recalled that Cui Xiangxiang's second old boyfriend had apparently also been surnamed Wu and had a son a few years younger than Cui Xiangxiang.

But their relationship had been so short that by the time Wei Zisu came back from filming in the mountains, it had ended before he even had a chance to meet the father and son.

Oh, right, Xiangxiang had also said that they'd broken up because the old man's son objected and forced them to!

"Wu Hao, fuck your uncle!" Cui Xiangxiang cursed furiously.

Wu Hao remained calm. "I don't have an uncle. How about trying me instead?"

Without another word, Cui Xiangxiang suddenly swung his arm and delivered a sharp, clean slap across Wu Hao's face.

Wu Hao touched his slapped cheek, and anger finally appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wei Zisu could no longer stand by enjoying the drama. He stepped in front of Cui Xiangxiang and clenched his fists in case Wu Hao hit back.

Although he'd discovered while doing scenes with Wu Hao that the man could fight pretty well too, Wu Hao wouldn't necessarily be able to beat Wei Zisu in a real fight.

Wu Hao glared at Wei Zisu and said to Cui Xiangxiang, "The person you like is already married, and you two omegas could never work out anyway!!"

Wei Zisu was baffled and pointed at himself. "Me? No, excuse me, Wu Hao, am I the married person you were just talking about?"

"Who else?!" Wu Hao snapped. "Don't think you can have an alpha on one arm and an omega on the other, and don't even dream of taking advantage of Cui Xiangxiang's feelings for you!"

The accusations left Wei Zisu completely bewildered. Although he still hadn't figured out what was going on, he was certain of one thing-Wu Hao really did have something wrong with his head!

He looked at Cui Xiangxiang in confusion. "Can someone explain this to me?"

Cui Xiangxiang held his forehead, seemingly not wanting to face this at all.

Just as the atmosphere grew tense and awkward, Yin Zhengchuan came running over. Seeing the three of them, he said, "Why are you still here? The director's asking for you."

"Can't help it," Wei Zisu said. "I seem to have been forcibly added to a love-triangle group chat."

Yin Zhengchuan: ...

Cui Xiangxiang took a deep breath. "There's been a misunderstanding."

"Yeah," Wei Zisu said. "A pretty big one, I'd say."

But Wu Hao said, "Then explain it to me. Is you and Wei Zisu liking each other the misunderstanding, or is him being married to Yin Zhengchuan the misunderstanding?"

Yin Zhengchuan: ???

Wei Zisu clapped his hands. "An even bigger misunderstanding. This seems to have turned into a love-square group chat now."

Yin Zhengchuan looked at Wei Zisu, feeling wronged.

"Our marriage isn't a misunderstanding," Wei Zisu told him.

Only then did Yin Zhengchuan's expression ease.

Exasperated, Cui Xiangxiang kicked Wu Hao in the shin. "Wu Hao, stop fucking acting like a brat in front of me! Go film first. I'll explain everything!"

Wu Hao wouldn't listen. "The moment I leave, you'll run away, won't you?"

"Where the fuck would I run to?"

"Who knows? Anyway, the last time you left my sight, I couldn't find you for six months. Cui Xiangxiang, I've already decided. Once I'm a star and I've achieved something, I'm going to tell everyone at an awards ceremony that I like you! Even if you hide at the ends of the earth, I'll make sure you can see me!"

Cui Xiangxiang couldn't even bear to imagine that scene! He twisted Wu Hao's ear and called him childish!

Wei Zisu handed Yin Zhengchuan a handful of sunflower seeds, and the married couple watched with relish.

In the end, Cui Xiangxiang had to promise repeatedly that he absolutely wouldn't disappear this time and would go to the set with them so Wu Hao could see him at any time.

Only then did Wu Hao, that child who hadn't been weaned yet, agree to go film first.

Over the next few scenes, Wu Hao, who had rarely needed retakes before, struggled badly because his eyes kept darting toward Cui Xiangxiang. His emotions weren't right, and he kept messing up his lines.

The director was so angry he wanted to curse.

After yet another failed take, Wei Zisu, who had been forced to keep doing the scenes with him, said, "Why don't you just tie Cui Xiangxiang to your belt and be done with it?"

Whether Wu Hao genuinely hadn't understood the sarcasm or not, he actually gave it some serious thought and said, "Good idea."

When break time finally came, Wu Hao immediately went to cling to Cui Xiangxiang.

Wei Zisu didn't follow him and went to find Yin Zhengchuan instead.

He could tell that Wu Hao had no intention of hurting Cui Xiangxiang. Otherwise, he would have hit back long ago after Cui Xiangxiang slapped him so hard.

He was just a little clingy, and Cui Xiangxiang could handle him perfectly well.

Yin Zhengchuan was on the phone in a corner. When he saw Wei Zisu coming over, he smiled and waved, then ended the call after a few words.

"Are you heading back to Shandong?" Wei Zisu asked.

Yin Zhengchuan paused slightly. "How did you know?"

"I guessed from your WeChat name," Wei Zisu said with a smile.

At that, Yin Zhengchuan's ears instantly turned red, as though some private thought of his had been exposed.

Wei Zisu didn't notice and continued, "Next time I come to Hengdian for filming, you can come see me again. You don't have to be so reluctant to leave this place. There'll be plenty of chances to come and have fun."

The redness slowly drained from Yin Zhengchuan's ears, and he said, "Oh."

It wasn't Hengdian he couldn't bear to leave.

It was clearly his wife...

"When are you leaving?" Wei Zisu asked.

"My high-speed train leaves at three this afternoon," Yin Zhengchuan said.

Since he'd come in such a hurry this time, there hadn't been time to apply for a flight route in advance, so his family's plane hadn't been of any use. Nor had he been as lucky as when he'd come for the blind date, when company staff had happened to be traveling for work and he'd effectively hitched a ride on their flight route.

Fortunately, transportation was well developed now, and high-speed trains were fast too.

"Three this afternoon..." Wei Zisu said thoughtfully.

Yin Zhengchuan knew what he was thinking. "I can go by myself. You don't need to see me off. I'm a grown man. It's not like I'll get lost."

Wei Zisu smiled. "All right, then. I'll wish you a safe trip in advance."

Yin Zhengchuan looked at him reluctantly. "I'll go back to Shandong... and wait for you."

Wait to hold our wedding.

After getting nowhere with Wei Zisu, Sun Liang was frustrated and angry.

He cleaned the blood from his nose and the shoe prints from his face outside, then returned to Yuan Zizhen's home in Hengdian.

You really couldn't compare people.

Compared with Wei Zisu, even if Yuan Zizhen had hidden something from him, at least he was sweet and gentle, and not violent at all!

Forget it. Whether or not he married Yuan Zizhen in the future, enjoying being waited on by him for now wasn't bad either.

Yet the moment he walked in, he found the floor in utter chaos, as though a magnitude-eight earthquake had struck!

Neither the kitchen nor the living room had been spared. Everything that could be smashed had been smashed!

"Zizhen?!" Sun Liang's first thought was that a burglar had broken in-and a particularly violent one at that!

It would be fine if Yuan Zizhen hadn't been home, but if a burglar had broken in while he was there, what could a delicate omega do?

Even if he wasn't particularly fond of Yuan Zizhen, even if he was angry that Yuan Zizhen had hidden his infertility from him, his concern for him at this moment was entirely genuine.

He rushed into the bedroom. No one was there.

Then he frantically opened the bathroom door and saw Yuan Zizhen sitting outside the bathtub, his eyes closed as he slumped over its edge, while the water in the tub had already turned red!
