When the Music Ends, the Crowd Disperses

*A little star. I might consider expanding the story if it gets lots of comments.

*The three-chapter story is complete. Thanks for reading.

A taciturn, single-minded young military officer who pursues love directly in public x a young master and actor who seems aloof in public but is deeply sensitive and knows he lacks love

Chen Zhao: I'm just an actor...

Gu Ling: I want the actor!

When actor Chen Zhao returned home, he was told, "There's a wedding tomorrow." That would have been one thing, but the main problem was that he was a man, and so was the other person!

He planned to wait until the engagement was over, then go their separate ways and never see each other again. But on the second day of their marriage, Chen Zhao received a confession from Gu Ling!

Come on, man. Isn't this love-after-marriage thing happening way too fast?

But Chen Zhao simply couldn't handle the classic routine of being coaxed, cuddled, and then swept into the bridal chamber. What on earth was going on?!

Bonus Scene 1:

When Gu Ling's wife told him that he didn't seem like the sort of person who would get handsy...

Gu Ling's inner thoughts: Since my wife says that, I'll tease him a little~

Gu Ling stepped in front of Chen Zhao and slowly moved closer. They were only a hair's breadth apart, each feeling the other's breath...

Taking Chen Zhao by surprise, he kissed him. It was only a light brush of their lips, but seeing Chen Zhao's reaction, Gu Ling couldn't help smiling triumphantly. "Don't trust people too easily. There are some things... I would still do."

Bonus Scene 2:

Chen Zhao saw a note beneath the breakfast Gu Ling had prepared for him: Bought some random stuff. Don't starve to death.

Unable to bear leaving the note just anywhere, Chen Zhao glanced around, then secretly... no, openly slipped it into his side pocket.

Bonus Scene 3:

With the fighting on the frontier growing urgent, an attendant urged Gu Ling to get in the carriage and set off. But Gu Ling insisted on waiting until Chen Zhao repeated what he had just said.

When Chen Zhao shouted it out, his face red, Gu Ling immediately covered his mouth. Smiling at the corners of his eyes, he gazed at him tenderly. "I heard you. Eat well, sleep well, and think of me."
