Chapter 100: Melodramatic Script – Extra (1)
Before bed, Shen Shuyi snuggled in Zhao Yuheng’s arms, watching a movie about parallel worlds together.
Zhao Yuheng’s hands were restless, pinching and squeezing Shen Shuyi’s soft belly, his mind far from the movie.
“Have you gained weight lately?” Zhao Yuheng asked.
“Gained weight?” Shen Shuyi was exhausted from Zhao Yuheng’s antics and barely had the strength to speak; his voice was hoarse.
“I feel like you’ve gained some weight on your stomach,” Zhao Yuheng chuckled softly. “It’s bulging.”
Shen Shuyi: “…”
“Is this weight gain?” Shen Shuyi rolled his eyes at him; in the darkness, Zhao Yuheng couldn’t see it.
Even if he did, he would have taken it as a joke.
Zhao Yuheng chuckled again, continuing to press on Shen Shuyi’s belly.
“Ouch.” Shen Shuyi felt a little uncomfortable from Zhao Yuheng’s pressure and quickly said, “You son of a bitch…”
“Hmph, shh.” Zhao Yuheng suddenly grabbed his hand, interlocking their fingers. “I was just testing to see if this would make it come out. Weren’t you just saying it was uncomfortable and swollen?”
“…Then you shouldn’t have [beeped] inside me when I was saying it was swollen!” Shen Shuyi retorted, “Are you a dog? Why do you always do this?” Shen Shuyi added, “I’m not some cream puff.”
You think pressing it will make it come out?
Are you crazy? Do you really think you [meowed] a lot inside?
Of course it felt like a lot just now, but I washed it all off in the shower, okay?^^ Shen Shuyi had gone from being a disheveled mess, soaked, to a dry and warm state.
Zhao Yuheng’s hand lingered on Shen Shuyi’s lower abdomen, feeling its warmth. “So thin, why can you eat so much, hmm? Little Shuyi.”
“I’m telling you, I want to watch a movie now. If you swear at me again, I’ll punch your head in the head. Understand?” Shen Shuyi knew that if he let him say a few more words, this guy would definitely start acting up again.
Zhao Yuheng went on a business trip to Australia for half a month, and Shen Shuyi enjoyed a comfortable half-month vacation. He watched two of Zhao Ci’s matches, went to Egypt with Lu Zhiwei to see the animal migration, and then went to Milan and Berlin, traveling around the world. When he returned to Beijing, he happened to catch Zhao Yuheng returning from his business trip.
Before he even put his shopping bags down at the door, his new husband had already carried him away.
From the living room to the bedroom and now, Shen Shuyi’s legs had barely touched the ground. He had been tossed and turned on the bed like a pancake for four or five hours.
From 5 pm to 10 pm, Shen Shuyi could hardly believe it. Why hadn’t he died under Zhao Yuheng’s weight?
He’d never really thought he had such good stamina.
The servants had already prepared dinner, and Shen Shuyi was carried down to eat.
The maids serving him kept their heads down, silently going about their tasks.
But Shen Shuyi could feel an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.
He was utterly humiliated!
“If you do this again, I’m really going to divorce you. Doesn’t Shen Shuyi have any shame?” Shen Shuyi silently complained.
“We’ve been apart for too long this time, baby. I just missed you so much,” Zhao Yuyou explained, then suddenly laughed, “Isn’t this good?
It proves I really haven’t been unfaithful, and I’ve left everything for you, baby.”
“Get away from me!” Shen Shuyi kicked him, “I beg you, please give it to someone else, okay? Shen Shuyi wants to live a few more years!”
Zhao Yuheng grabbed Shen Shuyi’s leg, probably amused by his words.
He laughed incessantly. Shen Shuyi ignored him and continued watching the movie.
It was a newly released film this year, related to parallel worlds, a relatively niche sci-fi film.
The reason Shen Shuyi chose this one from among thousands of good movies on Douban was simple: the director was a rich second-generation from Yungang, with whom Shen Shuyi had some connections.
This year, the director entered the film industry, determined to realize his dream of becoming a director.
At the time, Shen Shuyi happened to be at a party with him. The rich second-generation saw Shen Shuyi and invited him to make a cameo appearance in his film, playing a minor role with only about half an hour of screen time.
Shen Shuyi was quite bored at the time and had never participated in such a novel activity as filmmaking.
Out of curiosity, he agreed.
The film was finally ready for release after a year of preparation. Shen Shuyi received the master tape in advance and decided to watch it at home first.
“Here I come! I’m about to appear! Hurry up and watch!”
Shen Shuyi grabbed Zhao Yu’s arm and shook it wildly.
“Baby, after the movie is released, I’ll book a few screenings for you in Beijing, okay?”
“Of course! It’s your duty.” Shen Shuyi stared intently at the big screen.
A few seconds later, Shen Shuyi, playing the role of the white moonlight, indeed appeared.
He came to the set with his own makeup and costume, his handsomeness was on a completely different level from everyone else, and because his character was the white moonlight, even though he was on a different level, it still felt quite reasonable.
The story tells of a female protagonist who loses her lover from her youth. By chance, she discovers that country X is secretly researching parallel universes, so she volunteers to join, repeatedly traveling back in time to save her lover.
“I’m so handsome!” Shen Shuyi’s eyes were only filled with admiration and affirmation of his own good looks.
Zhao Yuheng, however, was engrossed in the story, finding the plot quite interesting.
“Shen Shuyi, do you believe in the existence of parallel universes?”
“So-so.” Shen Shuyi was about to say he was an atheist and firmly believed in science. But then he thought, parallel universes aren’t just metaphysics; they’re actually science.
Zhao Yuheng said, “Didn’t the double-slit experiment in quantum physics propose a hypothesis? In the experiment, when a particle passes through either of the two slits, the universe doesn’t present a single, definite result as traditionally believed. Instead, at the moment the particle chooses, a new universe splits open. That’s what parallel universes are.” Shen Shuyi listened, seemingly understanding but not quite.
“So?”
“So I was thinking, if I had gone back to the Zhao family and you hadn’t chosen me, but instead been with Zhao Ci, what would our situation be now?”
Shen Shuyi: “…”
“That’s simply impossible. First, Zhao Ci is completely not my type. Second, I wouldn’t have chosen him. If the marriage partner with the Zhao family was Zhao Ci, our marriage would only be a business arrangement, understand?”
“Understood.” Zhao Yuheng nodded, feigning understanding.
Shen Shuyi thought the matter was over.
After watching the movie for a while, Zhao Yuheng suddenly spoke up: “What if?”
“What?” Shen Shuyi was already captivated by the movie’s plot.
Unexpectedly, this rich second-generation has some talent; the film is actually quite good.
Maybe after this movie’s release, it might even become a hit during this year’s Spring Festival.
Then, wouldn’t Shen Shuyi become a big star?
Shen Shuyi’s imagination was already running wild, fast-forwarding through images of his own concerts and autograph sessions.
[Sorry, this fan only wants an autograph, not a photo. From now on, please send me letters. How could I accept such a valuable gift? Thank you all for seeing me off at the airport. I never expected this chance encounter would lead to such a precious award as the Three Golden Horse Awards. It can only be said that I am exceptionally gifted. Oh no, no, I shouldn’t be so flattering. How could I, as the “Heavenly Star of 2025,” bear such an empty title? Let’s leave it for those who truly need it…]
??? The above is a moment of fantasy.
Suddenly asked by Zhao Yuheng, he hadn’t even reacted yet.
“I was saying, what if,” Zhao Yuheng said, “You two had no feelings for each other before marriage, but after a marriage of convenience, you fell in love over time. What then?”
…Separation.
It took Shen Shuyi a long time to realize that Zhao Yuheng was still thinking about the topic from ten minutes ago.
“Are you crazy?!” Shen Shuyi laughed in exasperation. “Do you really have to make these kinds of assumptions?”
“You still haven’t answered me,” Zhao Yuheng persisted. “What if?”
Shen Shuyi turned his head, staring at him with a death stare. “You… do you feel like we haven’t seen each other for half a month, and you really want to argue with me?”
Zhao Yuheng: “.”
“I give up!” Shen Shuyi really didn’t understand Zhao Yuheng. Was this guy a reincarnated jealous man? Even if he wasn’t jealous, he’d find something to make himself jealous!
“There’s no ‘what if,’ okay,” Shen Shuyi said. “Even if there were a ‘what if,’ it would mean Zhao Ci has fallen deeply in love with me, and I… I don’t even care about him!”
“Okay.” Zhao Yuheng picked up his phone.
10 PM.
At the Xieji Bar, Zhao Ci stood in the center of the stage, celebrating his F1 racing victory again.
The DJ shouted excitedly, “All drinks tonight are on Mr. Zhao!” The crowd screamed, champagne ribbons flew everywhere, the salesperson brought out the POS machine, and Zhao Ci swiped his card—one swipe, one swipe—
“Your card is temporarily unavailable.”
Zhao Ci: ?
Holy crap!
Why did his brother suspend his card?!
What did he do wrong again without even knowing it?!
Zhao Yuheng sent three cold words:
[Started by myself.]
The movie reached its finale.
After countless failed attempts to save her “white moonlight” (ideal love interest) across parallel worlds, the female protagonist finally succeeds in saving him in the 12,351st universe.
As the price, she is forever trapped in a time warp, forced to watch as her “white moonlight” and her counterpart in this timeline achieve their happy ending.
At the end of the story, the “white moonlight” accepts the parallel world’s female protagonist’s confession in a coffee shop, and the two embrace intimately.
Zhao Yuheng scoffs, “It’s just acting, is it really necessary to hug so tightly?”
“Hey, don’t you have any professional ethics? Stop arguing, keep watching!” Shen Shuyi always said he was prone to making a scene.
The “white moonlight” and the parallel world’s female protagonist agree to meet outside the coffee shop.
Suddenly, as if foreshadowed, the “white moonlight” looks to the side.
On the table, some coffee dust, seemingly consciously arranged by the wind, forms three words: “I love you.”
The next second, the “white moonlight” blinks.
The desktop was perfectly intact, as if everything that had just happened was a hallucination.
The story ended there, having tricked Shen Shuyi into shedding many tears.
“If I were also trapped in the gap of time and space, would you notice my existence?” Shen Shuyi asked melancholically as he was carried back to bed.
“Yes,” Zhao Yuheng said. “I would search for you everywhere, just like that female lead, until I found you.” “Really?” Shen Shuyi blinked. “But what if there’s another Shen Shuyi by your side? Would you choose him or me?”
…Oh my god.
A choice more terrifying than “If I and your mother fell into the water, who would you save first?” had appeared in this world.
Zhao Yuheng hesitated for a moment, then said, “…Can I have both?”
“You scumbag!!!” Shen Shuyi kicked and punched him on the bed.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, baby…” Zhao Yuheng smiled and pressed him down. “I want you, I want you.”
“Too late!! My heart is already broken.” Shen Shuyi clutched his chest, feigning tears.
“Then how can we repair baby’s heart?” Shen Shuyi blinked. “It requires ten Hermes bags, five large diamond rings, a private island, and five watches…”
“Baby, the materials are wrong, aren’t they? What’s your heart made of?” Zhao Yuheng suppressed a laugh.
“Never mind,” Shen Shuyi said. “My heart is made of luxury goods, how about that?”
Zhao Yuheng was almost driven to madness by his smug and adorable demeanor, and couldn’t resist biting his cheeks and chin several times.
Shen Shuyi’s face was covered in drool from the bites. When Shen Shuyi deliberately yelled, Zhao Yuheng kissed him on the lips again. Once they kissed, they were inseparable, kissing deeply for a long time. Shen Shuyi tilted his head back, swallowing a lot of Zhao Yuheng’s kisses.
When their lips parted, there was a soft “pop.”
Zhao Yuheng pulled Shen Shuyi into his arms, and Shen Shuyi nestled in his embrace, held tightly in his arms.
“Now it’s my turn to ask you,” Zhao Yuheng said. “If I were trapped in a time warp, would you want Zhao Yuheng from a parallel world, or me?”
Zhao Yuheng finished speaking and just stared at him.
Shen Shuyi remained silent for a long time, finally stroking Zhao Yuheng’s beautiful, bright eyes, slowly closing them.
“Alright, sleep, little Zhao, sleep. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. On this night, which feels even better than our wedding night, let’s not hurt each other anymore, okay? Okay.” Shen Shuyi said, trying to hypnotize himself, as he lay on Zhao Yuheng’s broad, soft chest.
He squeezed it.
My husband’s body is so perfect.
I’m so happy, Shen Shuyi^^
As for the discussion about parallel worlds, Shen Shuyi had forgotten about it before going to sleep.
Tch, he thought. If there really are parallel worlds in this world, how come he’s never encountered any so-called “time travel”?
As it turns out…
Don’t speak too soon.
Shen Shuyi was woken up by the cold.
His first thought was that he had moved around in his sleep and kicked off the covers, causing him to wake up from the cold.
Strange, usually at this time, Zhao Yuheng would hold him tightly in his arms. Why was he being woken up by the cold?
Shen Shuyi subconsciously said, “Zhao Yuheng…”
His eyelids were heavy, like he was experiencing sleep paralysis.
Shen Shuyi struggled to open his eyes, groggily finding himself in the bathroom.
He: ?
How did he end up in the bathtub again? Had Zhao Yuheng, that beast, evolved to the point where he could do it himself without waking up?
Well, he had done it before.
That was Shen Shuyi’s first thought.
His second thought was: Ouch!
Then, he saw large patches of blood in his bathtub.
Shen Shuyi: …?
Could it be that he’s getting his period?
Or has Zhao Yuheng finally made him bleed from his unrestrained actions?
Just as Shen Shuyi was about to faint again, the bathroom door was kicked open with a “bang.”
Standing before him was Zhao Yuheng.
However, he looked quite different from usual. Shen Shuyi was about to stand up and say something.
Zhao Yuheng strode over, his eyes almost shattered, bloodshot as he looked at him: “What are you doing?” Good question, I want to know too.
Shen Shuyi opened his eyes.
“What are you doing, I’m asking you? To get rid of me, you’re willing to risk your life? Do I disgust you that much?”
…Huh?
What the hell is this melodramatic script?!
