Chapter 176: Yes, I’m Willing to Be the Bottom Party

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fu Sichen was respectful towards Pei Zhen.

Although he had waited and restrained himself for a long time, it didn’t mean that he would neglect Pei Zhen’s wishes and do things that Pei Zhen didn’t want to.

But the young boyfriend on the other end of the phone was adamant and rejected him, saying, “I have to go through the script and have no time to go back.”

Fu Sichen was stumped speechless.

It was just great. The thing that he was most worried about was happening. It looked like his resentful young boyfriend had begun to retreat. He was taking precaution, and his guard was up.

Fu Sichen had a smile on his face but was swearing and cursing inside. “Pei Pei, you’re not thinking straight. I wasn’t even going to…”

“No?” Even before Fu Sichen could finish his sentence, Pei Zhen happily asked, “Does that mean you’re willing to be the bottom party?”

Fu Sichen was quiet for a while.

Then he said, “Yes, I’m willing to be the bottom party.”

Said with a clenched jaw, each word took great effort for Fu Sichen. But he thought about the promise he made to Pei Zhen’s father, and at least he still had the chance to be ridden by Pei Zhen being the bottom. At that moment, Fu Sichen wished he could crawl through the phone line to Pei Zhen, to make the young boyfriend understand that he was, in fact, the ace of all toppers.

No matter, Pei Zhen eventually let down his guard and agreed to make the trip back to their childhood neighborhood.

Their old neighborhood was in Dong Hai City, but it was a different district, across to the Southern North quite a distance away.

Fu Sichen went to pick Pei Zhen up.

When Fu Sichen arrived at the apartment, Xiao Nian was lying back on the sofa playing the online game. The minute Fu Sichen saw him, he thought of the phone call the night before, and then the Weibo post in the morning. Frostiness was written all over his face. He had developed huge issues with Xiao Nian.

“From now on,” Fu Sichen said, looking at Pei Zhen without a trace of emotions and totally oblivious to Fairy Girl Xiao’s delicate heart, “You aren’t to allow other people into your apartment.”

A moment of silence.

Xiao Nian couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Xiao Nian was completely clueless as to what he had done to have made Fu Sichen so angry, and was almost in tears, especially when Fu Sichen asked him to hand over the spare key to the apartment.

Xiao Nian wanted to resist and hung on to the key with his life. “Pei Pei!”

Not able to watch any longer, Daddy Pei turned his head and coughed twice. “I’m going back home for a couple of days, and will head straight for the filming location once I’m back here.”

In a rare moment of guilt, Pei Zhen got into the car without looking back, not daring to confront the expression on Xiao Nian’s face. He hurried Fu Sichen to drive away.

Xiao Nian was unpleasantly shocked and considerably hurt. Before the car drove away, Fu Sichen had even given him a haughty look.

Xiao Nian was speechless.

Who knew what Best Actor Fu was so smug about, but all of a sudden, the online comments about Pei Zhen being henpecked came to mind.

The truth was that Pei Zhen didn’t feel that there was any good reason for taking a trip back to his hometown.

His parents, the ‘Condor Heroes’ were mostly not around, and although Fu Sichen’s family was good to him, they weren’t his real parents. Pei Zhen felt bad about bothering them even if they thought nothing of it.

“Are Uncle and Aunty going to be home today?” With he and Fu Sichen in a relationship, Pei Zhen was nervous about seeing Fu Sichen’s parents.

After all, they had become his boyfriend’s parents.

Had he dressed appropriately?

Should he have brought gifts?

Would they agree to marry off their son to him?

A thousand and one random thoughts ran through Pei Zhen’s mind, but when Fu Sichen said that his parents wouldn’t be home, he was completely relieved.

Whew.

It was great to have the death sentence postponed.

He hadn’t even noticed his boyfriend sending out the text message: [Don’t come home tonight.]
