No Scandalous Rumors Allowed in the Paddock [F1]

Lan Chaosheng has a handsome face, a good family background, and a sharp mind. He's the hottest and most outstanding team principal in the world of F1 racing. He loves wearing skirts, so his Twitter is full of pictures of him.

A slender waist, long legs, and mature, alluring charm.

After every race, Twitter gets another update of his photos.

Countless netizens want to know who he is.

Until one day.

Lan Chaosheng discovers a familiar name among his followers: Rafael.

Rafael is the universally acknowledged heartthrob of F1 racing. He doesn't say much, he's a great driver, and most importantly, he's handsome.

Lan Chaosheng finds it interesting.

He sends him a private message: {CatCat: Hey, handsome. Wanna hook up?}

The aloof heartthrob takes a long time to reply.

{Hall om mig: Not interested.}

Lan Chaosheng: ? If you're not interested, why follow me?

So Lan Chaosheng waits until after one of Rafael's races, changes into a miniskirt racing outfit from Rafael's team, puts on the team's cap to cover half his face, and sends Rafael a photo.

He asks again.

{CatCat: Not interested?}

This time, the aloof heartthrob replies at once.

{Hall om mig: If you want it that badly, I'll indulge you.}

{Hall om mig: Room number.}

Lan Chaosheng: ? Aren't you supposed to be a heartthrob? Heartthrobs hook up too?

-

Rafael, winner of the World Drivers' Championship.

A universally acknowledged racing prodigy.

He and his team principal, Lan Chaosheng, have always treated each other with perfect courtesy. He knows his team principal looks at him a little strangely, but he has always pretended not to notice.

Until one day, Rafael accidentally swaps phones with his team principal and ends up with Lan Chaosheng's phone.

The phone isn't locked. The first thing he sees when he opens it is a collection of his owner's photos on Twitter, all in women's clothes.

Pink lace, miniskirts, puffed sleeves.

Most importantly, each miniskirt is embroidered with his racing number: 34.

The more Rafael looks, the quieter he gets.

So he pretends he knows nothing and swaps phones back with Lan Chaosheng.

That night, though, he follows his team principal from an alt account.

He doesn't expect to receive a private message from his team principal the very next day.

The message asks if he wants to hook up.

Rafael never expected his team principal to be so casual about it, so he replies, "Not interested."

He doesn't expect another message a week later, either. This time the other guy is even more brazen, even wearing a cap Rafael signed himself.

In a fit of rage, Rafael sends him a message.

Then he opens his room door.

-

Lan Chaosheng knows about Rafael's alt account because he once saw Rafael scrolling through posts and happened to notice it.

He only messaged Rafael because he couldn't win him over in real life, so he thought he'd tease him online. He never thought the guy would actually reply.

Let alone ask for his room number.

Lan Chaosheng wonders how he should reply.

Should he say, I'm your team principal, and my hotel room is right across from yours. Come over whenever you want?

Lan Chaosheng thinks about it and decides to leave it at that.

But when he opens his door, Rafael comes out of the room opposite.

How to describe the way he looks?

Maybe with his phone in hand, sneering as he asks:

Team principal, wanna hook up?

Uh.

Coming soon: Honey, You Left Your Underwear in My Suitcase

1.

Yan Yuan is promiscuous, yet married at a young age. No one knows that even though he's married, he still wears women's clothes and goes to parties all over town.

At a party one night, the lights are dim and the music is deafening. He accidentally falls into the arms of a stranger. The man smells of a cool, light mint scent, unlike anything else in the bar.

Those hands rest on his waist, holding him from behind.

Yan Yuan looks up and sees a handsome, good-looking face.

He raises a hand, hooks his fingers around the handsome man's chin, and strokes his face, his tone suggestive and candid, making no effort to hide his seduction.

"Hey, handsome. Interested in coming back to my room?"

The handsome man raises an eyebrow.

He doesn't say a word.

The next day, Yan Yuan sits on the big hotel bed. A string of numbers has been written on his inner thigh in black marker.

The note says just three words: Call me.

Yan Yuan thinks the guy is good in bed, so he actually calls him. Their relationship develops quickly, and Yan Yuan calls him "Little Husband."

Little Husband is wonderful in every way, except he loves traveling all over the world for work. To get a night with him, Yan Yuan has to fly all over the place.

He doesn't tell Little Husband who he really is. Little Husband thinks he's broke, so he buys him all kinds of luxury goods. Yan Yuan thinks he really hit the jackpot in this life.

He dates Little Husband for over six months, until his family orders him home for a family gathering. His legal husband will be there too.

Yan Yuan promptly breaks up with Little Husband, then rushes back home to see his legal husband.

At the family gathering, his aunt points someone out to him.

"See him? That's your husband. Even from behind, he's so handsome, right?"

Yan Yuan furrows his brow, thinking that back looks strangely familiar.

He walks over and puts on a smile.

"Honey, you're back..."

Before he can finish, the man turns around, and Yan Yuan is completely dumbstruck.

"L-Little Husband?"

The man has a refined, handsome face and a tall, straight figure.

He speaks.

"Darling, are you calling me?"

2.

Xuan Ye, an F1 driver, World Drivers' Champion, and the only son of the Xuan family.

Rumor has it that he was promised in marriage before he was born to a child from another extremely wealthy family in S City. But after he was born, he was sent to live in Europe, so he never met his "fiancee."

Until he returns to China and attends a friend's party.

The party is wild, the dance floor dim. One graceful figure dances beautifully in the crowd.

And really likes grinding against him.

Colored lights sweep over and fall on that face.

He raises an eyebrow.

Isn't that his "fiancee," whom he's never met?

So wild?

So Xuan Ye plays along.

He and his little fiancee play a little game of dating.

His little fiance pretends to be poor, so he gives him money.

His little fiance likes him, so he takes him around the world to watch his races.

He's been waiting for his little fiance to figure out who he is. He never expected to get a breakup text instead. It says he has a husband and shouldn't be going around deceiving people. He's very sorry, he'll pay back the money, and they should break up. He even sends a huge sum as compensation for emotional damages and warns him to keep quiet and not make a fuss.

Xuan Ye nods.

Fine. Going home to see your legal husband, are you?

Emotional damages, is it?

Fine.

3.

Yan Yuan never expected to flirt with the wrong person, ending up seducing his legal husband. His legal husband seems kind and mild, accompanying him as he serves tea and drinks and deals with all their relatives.

But once they get back to their room, he throws Yan Yuan onto the bed.

He takes off his tie and binds Yan Yuan's hands with it.

"Darling, I heard you're coming home to see your legal husband. Does your legal husband know about us?"

Yan Yuan's eyelids twitch. He must have been caught cheating. The next moment, he feels a chill against his chest. Yan Yuan realizes he's in trouble. His Little Husband is fierce in bed. Is he going to die in bed today?

4.

The World Drivers' Champion goes through security before a race. When they open his suitcase, they find a pink lace thong and five or six boxes of Durex.

The security guard gives an awkward cough.

Before Xuan Ye can close his suitcase, his phone rings.

[The little tyrant at home: Honey, you left your underwear in your suitcase.]
