My brother got a fright

Leaving his own room in the middle of the night to run into someone else's.

That was indeed a very serious violation.

The Production Team had originally come to catch Yan Cheng.

Instead, they had killed two birds with one stone.

The excited director immediately switched on the camera.

He urged Yan Cheng on.

Director Liu was all smiles. "Tell us more. How are you so sure?"

"Do you even need to guess with Bai Luochuan covered in that pheromone scent? Obviously Qi Yu left it on him!"

Yan Cheng felt he was entirely in the right this time.

He no longer cared about his image on camera.

He simply shouted at the director.

Director Liu rubbed his chin.

He did not need to get close.

He could smell that vetiver scent too.

But the problem was, pheromones were a very private matter.

Unless some unexpected incident occurred, people would not normally know what someone else's pheromones smelled like.

To accuse Qi Yu right off the bat now...

Was a little unreasonable.

So after a moment's deliberation, Director Liu asked Bai Luochuan, "Mr. Bai, would you mind letting us look inside? Since Mr. Yan has said all that, it feels a little inappropriate not to check."

[Holy shit, guys! What's happening? A surprise midnight encore? Thank goodness I didn't go to sleep! I'd regret missing this for days!]

[What's going on here? Did Qi Yu sneak into Bai Luochuan's room after filming ended? What did they need to do off camera? Can't they show us!?]

[Yan Cheng said Qi Yu covered Bai Luochuan in his pheromones... I think that's pure slander! Bai Luochuan can't even smell pheromones. What would be the point?]

[You don't get it, do you? He did it precisely because Bai Luochuan can't smell them! He wants everyone to know Bai Luochuan belongs exclusively to him! Qi Yu really knows what he's doing!]

[I think Yan Cheng is lying! He's taking advantage of Bai Luochuan being a Beta to slander them! Qi Yu isn't that much of a pervert! I don't believe it!]

[Honestly, isn't he already enough of a pervert?]

Although the stream had only just started.

The live chat was already scrolling like mad.

Especially now, when it was time for bed, young people just needed something exciting to watch so they could sleep all the more soundly.

Logically speaking.

Bai Luochuan should have let them inside to look.

But the problem was that the fox really was hiding in his room.

Although he did not know what the punishment was, he did not want Qi Yu to become the one openly breaking the rules.

Just as he was hesitating.

A familiar voice came from behind the crowd.

Qi Yu yawned and asked, "What happened? Why is everyone here?"

Everyone immediately turned around.

Qi Yu stood behind them.

He looked as though he had just come up from downstairs.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Qi Yu smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Didn't they say we couldn't visit other rooms after lights-out? If you're going to do this, I won't be able to resist coming to see my brother."

As he spoke.

He openly squeezed through the crowd.

He walked over to Bai Luochuan, put an arm around him, buried his head in Bai Luochuan's shoulder, and took a deep breath.

The satisfaction on his face spoke for itself.

Everyone: ...

Yan Cheng: ???

What are you playing innocent for, you damned fox!

Weren't you the one who came here first!?

Although Bai Luochuan did not know how Qi Yu had managed it, since Qi Yu had already ensured he was safe, Bai Luochuan took the initiative to explain things to him properly. "They said I smell of your pheromones all over, and that you put the scent on me."

Bai Luochuan spoke calmly.

Once he finished, everyone's gazes settled even more openly on Qi Yu.

They thought Qi Yu would deny it.

Instead, Qi Yu suddenly began to laugh.

He laughed with particular delight.

He draped himself over Bai Luochuan as though he wanted to fold him completely into his embrace.

Only after laughing like that for a while did he turn to look toward the camera.

He nodded frankly and openly.

Qi Yu said, "I did put my pheromone scent on him, but there's no rule against that, is there? I did it when we parted before lights-out. I wanted my pheromones to keep my brother company and help him sleep better. What's wrong with that?"

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Luochuan again.

He softened his tone coaxingly.

Nuzzling against Bai Luochuan, Qi Yu said, "You think it smells nice too, right? Don't you like wearing perfume with this scent too? It's perfect."

Those two questions were nothing but misdirection!

But Bai Luochuan chose to indulge his fox.

So after only a brief pause, he nodded firmly.

He indicated that he really did like this scent.

Qi Yu had not lied.

Yan Cheng immediately lost his composure. "Bai Luochuan is just a Beta! Can he even smell pheromones!?"

"What's wrong with being a Beta? That sounds like you're trying to stir up conflict between genders." Qi Yu looked coldly at Yan Cheng.

He delivered his rebuttal slowly.

Yan Cheng was momentarily speechless.

Qi Yu continued, "Besides, I wasn't in my brother's room. Isn't it time to deal with the other issue now?"

At that point.

Qi Yu's voice grew considerably colder.

He turned and shielded Bai Luochuan behind him.

The smile he had constantly worn around Bai Luochuan these past two days vanished completely too.

All that remained was the aloof expression everyone knew best.

Qi Yu enunciated every word. "Yan Cheng, you've overstepped."

Nothing else needed to be said.

Everyone felt that innate, commanding pressure of someone above them.

Yan Cheng could not help taking another step back.

Director Liu immediately put on an apologetic smile.

He said he would be sure to handle the matter properly.

At the very least, Yan Cheng would need to be punished. Qi Yu did not need to worry about that.

But ultimately, it had only been a minor argument at the door.

Yan Cheng had not even entered the room.

Presumably, even if there was a punishment, it would not be too severe.

Qi Yu understood.

But the look he gave Yan Cheng was already so cold that Yan Cheng wondered whether Qi Yu intended to find an opportunity to finish him off.

It lasted only a fleeting instant.

Then Qi Yu turned back and took Bai Luochuan into his arms again.

He gently patted Bai Luochuan's back as though soothing a child.

Qi Yu let out a long sigh and said, "My brother got a fright. I need to comfort him. It shouldn't count as breaking the rules if I go inside with him now, should it?"

After a pause, Qi Yu even worked to embellish his performance.

He coaxed him, "There, there. I'm here. Don't be scared."

Everyone: ...

Everyone: ????

Wait.

In what way had Bai Luochuan gotten a fright?

Why had none of them noticed?

And you had just told them to deal with Yan Cheng, only to go and do something even more excessive yourself.

If they let you through that door now.

He would not be getting a fright.

He would be getting fertilized instead, wouldn't he!?
