Spoiled Rotten by the CEO After a Contract Marriage - Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Not as Fierce as Me
You Kuanshen quickly reached out and covered his wife’s eyes, chuckling awkwardly: “Haha, you young people really are something…”
Shouldn’t things like this be opened in the bedroom, not in the living room?
Yang Yuxiang wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn’t know how to explain; he truly had no idea what was inside the box.
You Wenchen walked up to Yang Yuxiang: “What’s wrong?”
Yang Yuxiang deliberately shifted the blame onto him: “It’s you! Why did you buy so many things? You didn’t even tell me beforehand, you scared Mom and Dad.”
You Wenchen opened the lid and took a glance, instantly understanding. “It’s my fault. I’ll take this upstairs first. I apologize, Mom and Dad. You know how young people are, please understand.”
You Kuanshen gave a forced smile, and Su He’s face was flushed with embarrassment. This was too outrageous. Buying so many—when would they ever use them all?
Yang Yuxiang was too embarrassed to face the two of them alone and followed right behind You Wenchen: “I’ll go up with you!”
Once back in the room, he covered his face and collapsed onto the sofa, wailing: “I really didn’t know my dad would give us something like that. Will your parents think I’m very indecent?”
Although he liked to joke about suggestive things, he was actually a very upright handsome young man.
You Wenchen reached out and rubbed his head: “Actually, this is a good thing. It reinforces the authenticity of our relationship, doesn’t it?”
Yang Yuxiang lay motionless, like a ravaged small flower: “I guess that’s the only way to console myself.”
Perhaps due to the shock of the box, You Kuanshen and Su He didn’t stay long this time before leaving.
Yang Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief. This was good; it eased the awkwardness.
After seeing his parents off, You Wenchen excused himself to the study to admire Yang Yuxiang’s photos. Yang Yuxiang tinkered with the newly arrived cosplay outfits in his cosplay room.
“Hey, Yuntian, what’s up? Why are you calling so late?”
Yuntian was a particularly cute younger friend he met in the university anime club. Known as the social butterfly of the community, Yuntian was always the first to know about any gossip or events.
“Yàngyáng, did you receive the cosplay outfit sent by Tarot God?”
“I did! I’m just getting it ready now. The quality of this outfit is incredible. I’m thinking of buying it myself after I’m done using it.”
He usually took on official cosplay jobs, where the company provided the outfit and money, inviting him to cosplay popular characters. Sometimes they would give him the outfit, but other times they would take it back after the event.
Yuntian flattered him: “I have an even better set here, do you want to see it?”
“Sure, take a picture wearing it and show me.”
“Ahem, I might not have time to wear it. Could I trouble you to cover for me…” Yuntian stated his real purpose.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you already get paid? If you don’t do it, you have to pay ten times the refund.”
“It’s precisely because of the tenfold refund that I’m calling you for an emergency rescue. I accidentally broke my leg today. The cast is as thick as a pig’s trotters. This character has to show their legs, so I can’t wear it at all. Yàngyáng, please save me QAQ.”
In their community, only he and Yang Yuxiang could cosplay characters that could be either male or female. If Yang Yuxiang didn’t help, he had no other option.
“Oh my god, how long until you recover? Do you need me to find someone to take care of you?”
“That’s not necessary, my boyfriend is taking care of me. But I might be in a wheelchair for a month. I need to submit the photos in half a month, and I simply can’t make it. Yàngyáng, you won’t leave me to suffer, will you?”
Of course, Yang Yuxiang wouldn’t: “Okay, fine. But I remember your character is a couple’s set. The other character is your partner, right?”
“Yes, there’s just one intimate pose where you sit on his shoulder.”
“Are you sure he can carry me??”
“He should be able to. He carries me without any effort.”
“Sis, are you not aware of the size difference between us?” Yang Yuxiang looked thin but weighed over 130 pounds. Yuntian only weighed 90 pounds, there was no comparison.
Yuntian hadn’t thought of that: “How could I forget that! Tonight, I’ll ask him to try carrying me and my dog simultaneously. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
“Okay, get some rest and be careful with your leg. Don’t make the injury worse.”
About an hour after hanging up, Yuntian called back, crying.
“It’s over. Now my partner can’t do the cosplay either.”
“He broke his leg too?!”
“I just asked him to try carrying my Husky first, and the Husky thought we were playing and accidentally kicked him in the neck. We just got back from the hospital. The doctor told him not to move for the next half a month. Now we’re one with a broken leg and one with a twisted neck.”
“…You two are truly a pair of ‘Condor Heroes’ (a famous Wuxia couple). Are you home? Do you need me to send a car to pick you up?”
“We’re home, but what about this cosplay?” Now both of them were out.
Yang Yuxiang rubbed his temples: “Don’t worry for now. I’ll figure something out. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll help you pay the penalty.”
“No need, we’ll just sell our bodies on the street!” Yuntian wasn’t unable to pay the fine, he just felt bad about it, especially since it was tenfold.
“Stop talking nonsense and go rest. I’ll contact a few friends tomorrow to see who has an opening.”
“Wuwu, I love you.”
After hanging up, Yang Yuxiang seriously looked through his contact list.
He had plenty of friends, but few could cosplay Yuntian’s boyfriend’s character.
The character had very strict body requirements: tall, muscular, and had to have obvious abdominal muscles. Muscle suits were not allowed.
His friends had some muscle, but it was generally a thin layer, which wouldn’t show well in photos.
Sigh, what should I do? He couldn’t possibly ask his boyfriend to carry him with a twisted neck.
Yang Yuxiang was worried until midnight and couldn’t fall asleep. You Wenchen returned to the room and saw him awake, asking with concern: “Did something bother you?”
Yang Yuxiang lay on the little sheep pillow and explained the situation.
You Wenchen was thoughtful. He could carry Yang Yuxiang.
Yang Yuxiang’s little mind suddenly lit up: “That character doesn’t show his face. Do you think I could go to the gym and find a trainer to try? A trainer should be able to carry me, right?”
You Wenchen answered with a question: “Can you show me the original picture?”
Yang Yuxiang showed him the official concept art: a tall, muscular masked man carrying his partner.
The character being carried wore a skirt so short it reached their thighs. You Wenchen’s gaze immediately turned dangerous. He would not allow Yang Yuxiang to sit on someone else’s shoulder in a skirt.
“Perhaps, I can try?”
Yang Yuxiang was surprised: “You?”
You Wenchen unbuttoned his pajama shirt: “My physique should meet the requirements.”
Yang Yuxiang’s eyes dropped, staring intently.
He had thought You Wenchen had a good physique when he saw him in pajamas last time, but seeing him without a shirt was something else. No wonder his cousin kept asking for a ‘male mom’; now he wanted one too.
You Wenchen’s voice was slightly teasing: “Satisfied?”
“Satisfied, satisfied, hiss.” Yang Yuxiang felt his mouth watering.
There were many people with good bodies in the community, but none made his heart flutter like this.
The main reason was his face. You Wenchen had such a gentle face, yet his body was so wild. The contrast was incredible.
“Ahem, wouldn’t it be too much trouble for you? It’s fine if I keep looking.” Although Yang Yuxiang really wanted to take the photos with him, he worried about wasting his time.
A big boss like You Wenchen dealt with millions in business transactions every minute.
“It’s no trouble. It’s actually good for us to take pictures together, so my parents can see them.”
The parents are a constant, the excuses are fleeting.
“Then are you free tomorrow? If you are, you can come with me to my friend’s place to pick up the stuff.”
“As long as you need me, I’m free.”
Yang Yuxiang felt like You Wenchen was hinting at something when he talked to him, but he was afraid of reading too much into it.
You Wenchen checked the time and tucked him in: “The problem is solved, so get some rest early.”
“Mm-hmm, good night.”
“Good night.”
Yang Yuxiang, as usual, fell asleep the moment he lay down. Vaguely, he felt someone touching his lips. Just as he was about to open his eyes, the sensation disappeared.
He dismissed it as a dream and continued sleeping.
The next day, after breakfast, the two set off for Yuntian’s house. The situation with Yuntian and his partner was a little worse than Yang Yuxiang had imagined.
His partner was supposed to be the caretaker, but now his partner was lying motionless in bed, and Yuntian had to push the wheelchair to fetch things for him.
“I’ll find a helper for you guys. What are you two going to do otherwise?”
Yuntian waved his hand to refuse: “Don’t bother looking. You know what Zhang Ji is like. He feels like he has fleas crawling on him if there’s an outsider.”
Zhang Ji was his boyfriend, extremely socially anxious. It was a miracle the two of them were together.
“Wow, is this a new cosplayer in the community? How is he so handsome?” Yuntian was stunned by You Wenchen, who followed Yang Yuxiang in.
Yang Yuxiang hadn’t figured out how to introduce You Wenchen yet, so You Wenchen proactively extended his hand to greet him: “Hello, I’m Yàngyáng’s boyfriend. You can call me Wenchen.”
It was a good thing Yuntian was in a wheelchair. If he could stand, he would surely choke Yang Yuxiang: “You have such a handsome boyfriend and you’re only telling me now!”
Yang Yuxiang rubbed his nose: “We haven’t been together for long, but I brought him to meet you.”
“Tell me! When did you get together! You didn’t even let me vet him! But since he’s this handsome, vetting is unnecessary. Remember to treat me to a meal!”
You Wenchen was also very friendly towards his friend: “Absolutely. What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make the reservation.”
“Not now. Let’s wait until I recover.” Yuntian was only joking and felt awkward letting a stranger treat him to a meal on their first meeting.
“The cosplay outfits are here. Take them back and try them on to see if they fit. If not, you can get a bigger size. I’m counting on you both for this. After it’s done, I’ll treat you to a meal!” Yuntian pressed his hands together, looking at them sincerely.
Yang Yuxiang and You Wenchen packed the items to take away. Before leaving, they didn’t forget to recommend a few good orthopedic doctors to them.
“Recover soon. We’re all going to the convention together then.”
“I want to recover soon too. Let’s see if my leg cooperates. Oh right, Yàngyáng, could you push me to the restroom?”
Yang Yuxiang didn’t think much of it and pushed his wheelchair to the restroom.
Yuntian wasn’t actually trying to use the toilet. He grabbed Yang Yuxiang’s arm and asked excitedly: “Is this handsome guy fierce?” (Meaning good in bed)
“Not as fierce as me.” Yang Yuxiang habitually boasted.
Yuntian’s face immediately drooped: “He’s not even as fierce as you. Looks like he’s no good.”
Yang Yuxiang: ?
What does he mean, “not even as fierce as you”!
