The Villain in the Quick Travel is My Wife

Chapter 110

Chapter 110.4.23

Zhou Xiaobai was well-known in the industry for his aloofness. He was never swayed by the men and women who pursued him, and everyone initially assumed he was not interested in love.

It turns out not only was he already taken, but the affection he had quietly nurtured was now no longer hidden.

This revelation sparked an even greater curiosity about his boyfriend, and the excitement grew among both the people at the scene and the netizens in the live stream.

The others in the room were eager to know more, and many in the barrage were anxiously waiting to see what kind of person Zhou Xiaobai's boyfriend was.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xiaobai smiled slightly and lowered his head to pick up his phone.

Beep...

The instructors on stage held their breath in anticipation.

"Brother Bai," a voice came from the phone, and a thin young man appeared on the big screen. His hands were damp, and a scarf was tied around his waist, indicating that he had just been cooking.

Everyone was left feeling unexpectedly disappointed.

The young man was handsome, with a sunny demeanor, but something about him seemed not quite right for Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai placed the phone on the table and turned on the speaker. "Where's my brother? I need to ask him something."

That's when everyone realized they had misunderstood.

Zhou Jia glanced upstairs. "My cousin's been working overtime recently, and my aunt asked me to come over and look after him for a few days. He came back really late last night, so he's probably still asleep."

"Brother Bai, are you recording a show? Are you planning to make it public? Wait, I'll bring the phone up to him."

Zhou Xiaobai was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, Zhou Jia had already dashed upstairs. He knocked on the bedroom door. "Brother, I'm coming in. Brother Bai wants to video chat with you. He's recording a show now."

There was no response from inside, but Zhou Jia persisted, making Zhou Xiaobai laugh and shake his head. "Don't bother him anymore. I'll get you a gift when we're back, and he can rest properly."

"No, I won't let my cousin miss such an important moment." Zhou Jia didn't even look up as he found the key and opened the door himself.

As expected, An Shuting was sound asleep.

The camera captured only a slender hand sticking out from under the quilt, and it was wearing the same ring as Zhou Xiaobai's.

Zhou Jia, without hesitation, pulled back the quilt and said, "Cousin, hurry up and get up. Brother Bai wants to talk to you."

He said this in an exaggerated tone, deliberately angling the camera to capture An Shuting's frog-shaped pajamas and his disheveled hair.

The barrage exploded with activity.

"Oh my god, look at the frog prince, he's so childish."

"This is Zhou Xiaobai's boyfriend? He's quite good-looking, but his taste is a little strange."

"So you men really like pajamas like this."

"But he's really handsome."

"What kind of grudge is this? Why does he have to let his cousin make such a shining debut? This is the end of the world!"

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes flashed with a smile, though he still remembered the business at hand. "Brother, I need to ask for your opinion on something, but I'm recording a show right now."

During the recording, An Shuting suddenly stirred, waking up and wrapping himself in a blanket. "Xiaobai," he murmured, rubbing his eyes. He then raised his hand to smooth his disheveled hair, glanced down at his frog-themed pajamas, and shot a fierce glare at Zhou Jia.

He grabbed the phone from his cousin and turned it toward the camera. "Tell me what you want to say."

The screen erupted in admiration with a flurry of "666" comments and emojis, as viewers expressed their amazement at An Shuting's charm.

Zhou Xiaobai, for a moment, felt a hint of regret but also a secret pride in his heart. "There's a female guest on our show who was developing a relationship with a male guest. But after a new female guest joined, the male guest suddenly turned his attention to someone else."

"I advised her to move on, but she was reluctant. She seemed exhausted from it."

An Shuting took a moment to think before responding, his voice calm and thoughtful. "It's tough to deal with love-struck people these days. What's so great about love? Isn't it better to focus on your career?"

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a slight sting in his words, sensing that An Shuting was teasing him. "Brother, being in love is the best foundation for a man."

"If she's loyal to one person, it shows her deep feelings, and that's a rare and valuable trait. She deserves someone who shares that loyalty."

"Do you think it's wrong for me to be in a relationship? Would it affect your career?"

At that moment, An Shuting's protective instincts kicked in. He smiled gently at Zhou Xiaobai. "How could it? Xiaobai, you're different from others. It's because I'm your boyfriend that I can stay positive and focused on my work."

"As for the female guest, this works out perfectly. The national audience sees her loyalty and sincerity, and she'll definitely meet the right person."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled, but in the end, he held back his objections, respecting An Shuting's words.

As the show aired, Zhou Xiaobai's discussion about love-struck people became a hot topic, and the revelation of his abstract yet handsome boyfriend piqued even more curiosity.

The netizens, always resourceful, quickly unearthed An Shuting's background.

The youngest biomedical academician in China, a professor at Tsinghua University, recipient of the World Medical Lifetime Contribution Award, and the World Medal of Honor-these accolades stunned everyone.

And he was only in his early thirties.

This intellectual powerhouse completely shattered the previous assumptions, explaining Zhou Xiaobai's so-called "inferiority complex." Fans and netizens flooded in to comfort them, praising their perfect match.

Even the most vocal homophobic keyboard warriors were silenced by the sheer support from Zhou Xiaobai and An Shuting's fans.

When fans started asking how to find a boyfriend like An Shuting, Zhou Xiaobai wrote a book chronicling their story.

Through this, many learned that Zhou Xiaobai, seemingly perfect, had once suffered from school violence. The book sparked widespread discussions on the topic.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Xiaobai founded an anti-school violence foundation to help students in similar situations. Over the years, his efforts gained momentum, and more people stood up to fight for themselves. Schools also strengthened their management, benefiting many who had been suffering in silence.

Throughout it all, An Shuting stood by his side.

Years passed, and even as they grew old, their love remained unwavering. They were still the couple that netizens admired and adored.

Zhou Xiaobai's life turned out just as he had imagined in his youth: after overcoming hardships, he found peace, like the sky clearing after a storm.

Many years later, Zhou Xiaobai sat beside a hospital bed, holding An Shuting's thin, frail hand tightly, his eyes red from unshed tears.

An Shuting smiled softly, his voice faint. "I didn't expect to be the first to leave. I'm sorry, Xiaobai. Do you have any regrets?"

Zhou Xiaobai shook his head, his voice thick with emotion. "No, brother. No regrets. Thank you. In the next life, you'll still be mine. No one can ever take you away."
