Lu Bai stood outside Jiang Yu's room, his carefully styled hair slightly disheveled from running so hard.
Lu Bai stood awkwardly at the door, fixing his black coat and hair, calming his nerves, and raising his hand. He was about to knock on Jiang Yu’s door, when the door swung open from the inside.
Lu Bai looked at the object of his affection, all pretense vanished. He wrapped his arms around Jiang Yu, his eyes red. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”
He didn’t know why he was apologizing, but he was sorry to Jiang Yu. He hadn’t protected Jiang Yu, his Ayue, his Ayue.
Jiang Yu was stunned, his exquisite face filled with confusion. Finally, he raised his hand and patted Lu Bai’s back.
“I’m here, I’m here...”
In the world after Jiang Yu’s death, Jiang Yu didn’t know that Lu Bai had avenged him and eventually followed Jiang Yu to the afterlife. He couldn't bear to live in a world without Jiang Yu.
Lu Bai wasn’t considered exceptionally handsome, just somewhat dashing, with a tall and sturdy build. He held the petite Jiang Yu in his arms, tears welling up in the tall man’s eyes.
“Ayue, call me Lu Bai, okay, it’s my name.” Lu Bai’s voice choked with emotion.
“Mm.” Jiang Yu responded, hugging Lu Bai’s waist tightly. He was here, he’d always been here.
After a long while, Lu Bai calmed down. His eyes were dark, filled with an undefinable mixture of emotions.
“What’s going on, what’s going on, what’s going on!” Director Wang, who was just about to go find Jiang Yu to tell him about the broadcast, saw Jiang Yu being held in the arms of a tall man. Director Wang thought that someone had seen the stunning beauty of the handsome man and was up to no good. He didn’t recognize his nephew at first.
Director Wang strode up from the stairs, pulled Lu Bai away, and stood protectively in front of Jiang Yu, blocking Lu Bai's view.
"Who are you? Don't you know this villa has been booked by our crew? Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" Director Wang barked at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai was bewildered by Director Wang’s words, unauthorized personnel? Him?
Lu Bai pulled Director Wang away, saying coldly, “Uncle, you’re getting old, you don’t even remember me anymore.”
Director Wang was pulled off balance. Seeing him protecting Jiang Yu as if he was a precious jewel, he finally realized who this was, his nephew. He couldn't help but laugh and scold him, "You little brat, if it weren’t for me, would you have ever met Little Jiang? You’re guarding me like I’m some kind of thief."
Director Wang said it was a half-hour delay, but the broadcast time had already passed by an hour. The station director had called several times to urge them to get started.
Director Wang was getting impatient with the station director's constant calls, but because of Xiao Min's absence, a lot of things hadn't been finalized. It was impossible to go live so quickly. The first episode of the reality show was missing a guest, that wasn’t how you played the game.
Under the station director's repeated urging, Director Wang could only instruct the cameramen to start filming the artists, while he used the excuse of going live to go to the villa, so he could observe Jiang Yu’s stunning beauty up close. He happened to see Lu Bai and Jiang Yu hugging.
Director Wang felt that getting Jiang Yu to join their family was a done deal, and couldn’t help but beam.
He coughed twice, “Lu Bai, I’ll arrange for you to be a special guest, you two get along well.”
“That’s it, go get yourselves together and head to the lobby, I’ll be off.”
Before leaving, Director Wang leaned in and whispered to Lu Bai, "If you can’t bring Little Jiang home, your mom and dad will break your legs.”
Then, he turned to Jiang Yu and gave him a kind smile, "Little Jiang, take your time, no rush."
Jiang Yu replied, "Okay, Director Wang."
Just as Director Wang was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and turned back, "Oh, right, almost forgot the main thing. The guests have all formed teams, you two are the only ones left, Little Jiang, do you want to just make do?”
Director Wang cast a disdainful glance at Lu Bai, the unspoken words were obvious.
Jiang Yu paused, in his memory, he was indeed the one left out. No one had chosen him from beginning to end. Those guests had formed their teams on the way. He stayed in the villa waiting, and by the time it was his turn, everyone was already gone, so he was naturally left alone.
It was understandable, he was just filling in to save the show, just filming for one episode.
Jiang Yu smiled slightly at Lu Bai, "Pleased to meet you, Lu Bai."
His smiling eyes, slightly upturned, his breathtaking face, even more serene than the spring water of West Lake. Lu Bai was captivated by Jiang Yu's smile, his eyes could only hold Jiang Yu.
Director Wang struggled to pull his gaze away from Jiang Yu’s peerless beauty, and reluctantly went downstairs to take charge. The guests had all arrived, and he, the director, hadn’t even arrived yet, it was just too much.
Director Wang took three steps back, and then three steps forward, Lu Bai’s possessiveness was so strong that no matter how many times Director Wang looked back, he would block his view.
Director Wang glared fiercely at Lu Bai.
