Being Affectionate

The main story and all the bonus chapters are complete! When Fu Qing was a child, his grandfather had someone read his fortune. They said he was destined to miss out on a romantic match. The reading was spot-on. By the time he was thirty-two, he was still single. Then he found a pretty, pitiful young man in a coffee shop. The moment his grandfather saw him, he smiled and said, “A Qing, your fated match has arrived.” And so Fu Qing gained a pitiful boyfriend. His boyfriend, Xie Yan, was a little-known actor who specialized in playing corpses, ranked somewhere beyond the 180th tier. Fu Qing figured that if he was keeping his boyfriend at home, he couldn’t let other people bully him. And so Xie Yan rose to fame in the entertainment industry. Before long, everyone in showbiz knew that the beautiful Xie Yan was aloof, had top-tier opportunities, and was fiercely independent because he came from a powerful background. Behind him stood the wealthy big shot Fu Qing, who doted on him and indulged his every whim. People kept quiet about it for years, until one reckless young reporter asked Xie Yan about it to his face. Xie Yan looked at the reporter impatiently and coolly pulled the microphone over. “What sugar daddy? He’s my legally wedded husband. We’ve been married for years.” His tone seemed no different from usual, but his beautiful eyes were faintly red. Xie Yan added silently, “My husband, my boyfriend, my darling.” Please don’t base the characters on any real-life celebrities, and if you do, don’t mention it in the comments or tell me about it.
