I'm right outside your door

There were things in the entertainment industry that even some paparazzi didn't know, but people within the industry more or less knew something about them.

Take the relationship between Bai Luochuan and Yan Cheng, for example.

They had actually heard about it long before.

Bai Luochuan was always chasing after Yan Cheng.

Yan Cheng neither took the initiative nor turned him down.

So even if the others didn't know the exact details of their relationship, they more or less had their guesses.

Hearing Lan Muxing's taunt, Yan Cheng turned around.

His bloodshot eyes glared at Lan Muxing.

But the latter held his chin up, neither meek nor overbearing.

He looked nothing like his gentle, soft self in front of the cameras. Instead, he spat coldly and said, "But this is pretty good, actually. Thank goodness you let him go. Now I have a bit of a chance, too, instead of someone that wonderful being monopolized by a piece of trash like you."

Yan Cheng said darkly, "Say that again?"

"Turn on your phone's voice recorder, and I'll say it again. Make sure you record it properly." Lan Muxing rolled his eyes. "Don't make me repeat myself over and over later. I'm not your personal playback machine."

Yan Cheng: ...

Seriously.

Why had everyone on this lousy show started going after him?

He really shouldn't have come in the first place!

No.

He still had to come.

If he hadn't joined, he really would never have another chance with Bai Luochuan...

Unlike Yan Cheng, whose head was filled with nothing but Bai Luochuan.

Once Bai Luochuan entered his room, he completely forgot all about Yan Cheng.

He had more important things to consider now.

He took out his phone.

Bai Luochuan began searching for relevant information.

Yesterday, he had gone to shower after returning to his room, then logged into the game right afterward.

As a result, he hadn't even had time to check what people online were saying about the show.

Now he quickly skimmed through the comments:

[This show is getting more and more to my taste. I love plots where a bunch of people fight over one person! Who's enjoying this to death? Me!]

[Then I have to ask: whose baby is this adorable? Why is Bai Luochuan so cute?! Who's Qi Yu's baby?!]

[Not his baby. He's Qi Yu's big brother.]

[Then why does he keep calling him that?! Their actual ages are the other way around! This is driving my compulsive side insane!]

[It's good, I love it, and I need more! Hurry up, Production Team! I want sweet couple interactions!]

[Qi Yu, please stay on the show! If I can watch my dream man like this, I can die without regrets!]

Aside from these comments.

There were also plenty of comments about Qi Yu himself.

They were all discussing what someone of his position and status could possibly want from joining this show.

Surely he wasn't really here just to find a partner?

He must have some deeper, more far-reaching plans!

The commenters' conspiracy theories had already reached the level of planning the world's future.

Only Bai Luochuan knew.

His lovestruck little fox had come here purely for him.

His mind went blank.

It buzzed.

Fuck.

He had transmigrated.

And apparently, he'd transmigrated into the game he played.

If I'd known this day would come, I would've paid more attention to the main story instead of spending every day obsessed with Qi Yu's individual dates!

Still finding that conclusion somewhat hard to believe.

Bai Luochuan searched various websites for information about Qi Yu again.

He found quite a few pictures and videos.

But nowhere did the word "game" appear.

He set his phone aside.

Bai Luochuan lay back on the bed.

He stared toward the ceiling.

He sank into a long silence.

What pulled him out of that silence was the string of familiar yet unfamiliar numbers that popped up on his phone.

Qi Yu was calling him.

Not the game company.

This was the Qi Yu who was here with him.

He still didn't know what frame of mind he should face him with.

But his fingers moved faster than his brain.

Before he realized it, his body had instinctively chosen to answer the call.

Qi Yu's smiling voice came through the phone.

He said, "Are you looking up information about me, big brother?"

What else would I be doing?

After all, they were a couple who had been together for so long.

Even if he hadn't been by his side at every moment, communicating only through a phone screen had been enough for Qi Yu to understand exactly what kind of person Bai Luochuan was.

He didn't know how to answer him.

Only after a long while did Bai Luochuan reply in bewilderment, "Sorry, my head's a little muddled."

"I know. When I first tracked down your signal, my reaction wasn't much different from yours." Qi Yu was still chuckling softly like that.

Perhaps it was his calm manner.

It finally helped soothe Bai Luochuan's strange, somewhat uncomfortable feelings a little.

He showed no intention of pressing him.

After a brief pause, Qi Yu continued, "Why don't you go take a shower? Isn't that what you like to do whenever your head's a mess? Take some time to settle down, then log into the game again once you're feeling better, okay?"

He didn't understand why Qi Yu still wanted him to log into the game.

But after a moment of silence, Bai Luochuan still murmured an assent and agreed to Qi Yu's suggestion.

After a few more words of comfort.

Bai Luochuan hung up.

Just as Qi Yu had instructed, he obediently went to the bathroom.

When he saw that familiar bathtub.

Bai Luochuan was suddenly struck by the realization again.

Wasn't this the bathroom background behind Qi Yu when he logged into the game for that special date last night?!

Yesterday, because the two of them had been staying in different classes of rooms.

Bai Luochuan hadn't known what the higher-end rooms were supposed to look like.

Now, after carefully checking everything.

Sure enough, everything was exactly the same as what he had seen yesterday.

Even his surroundings were proving it to him:

He really had come to Qi Yu's world.

There was no need to agonize over it any further.

Standing beneath the showerhead.

Bai Luochuan felt like a robot.

Following the instructions Qi Yu had given him.

He washed himself thoroughly.

Unfortunately, unlike usual, the shower didn't put his muddled thoughts back on track this time.

He wrapped a towel around his waist.

Then he instinctively picked up his phone.

He was still in that state of following each instruction with an action.

He still remembered that Qi Yu wanted him to log into the game.

So he obediently launched it and logged in.

He entered the companionship screen.

Qi Yu's figure soon appeared on the screen as well.

But he wasn't dutifully staying in his room.

He seemed to have just showered.

Water droplets still clung to his long silver hair.

Behind him was the corridor.

Lowering his voice, Qi Yu said with a smile, "Big brother, I'm right outside your door. Will you open up and let me come in for a bit?"
