Chapter 10: They’re Inseparable.

It was the weekend, so Kou Sen was at home.

Last night, when his two fathers went to sleep together, Kou Sen’s little bed was moved away, with his nanny guarding it at night.

This was the first time that Kou Sen slept by himself at night. Maybe because it was the first time sleeping away from his father, and it was something new to him, Kou Sen didn’t cry at all.

At this moment, he was cheerfully packing up some of his favorite toys, putting them in a backpack. Since his father told him that they would go to an island to play.

As for Kou Li, he was in his bedroom.

Kou Li took out a medicinal sachet from the inside of a pillow. The medicine inside had almost evaporated entirely, and the smell of medicine was very light, having an ordinary incense scent. This was a sleeping aid, prescribed by the doctor, for him and Bian Yi.

After all, he and Bian Yi needed to sleep.

“Sir, everything has been arranged.” Butler Hua glanced at the time and said: “I don’t think Young Master Yi’s plane has taken off yet.”

“Ah, by the way, Dr. Jian is already downstairs.”

Kou Li wrapped the medicinal sachet and threw it into the trash can: “Alright.”

When he walked downstairs, sure enough, Dr. Jian was sitting on the sofa, teasing Kou Sen.

Although Dr. Jian was a doctor, in the eyes of children, he looked more like a villain. Instead of joking with kids to make them laugh, he was the kind to steal their toys to make them cry.

Kou Sen had long been used to his type of teasing, so he didn’t cry this time, nor did he make a fuss. He even raised his chin, scolding the adult man with a simple sentence: “You’re childish!”

After being scolded, Dr. Jian fell on the sofa with joy. When he saw Kou Li coming down the stairs, he returned the toy he had just snatched.

“Cough.” Dr. Jian simply sat down and noticed that Butler Hua was carrying Kou Li’s luggage. “Are you going out? Hey, where’s your wife?”

Kou Li ignored him and simply watched Kou Sen handing his nanny the toys that couldn’t fit into his backpack.

Even though Kou Li ignored Dr. Jian, he didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Dr. Jian simply stared at Kou Li.

When Butler Hua saw this, he had no other choice than to reply for Kou Li: “Dr. Jian, Young Master Yi has gone to E Island to record a show.”

“He’s not here?” Dr. Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at Kou Li again. As if asking him: ‘Why did you ask me to come if he wasn’t here?’

At that moment, Kou Li finally glanced at Dr. Jian. He asked Butler Hua to take Xiao-Shu to the car first, telling Butler Hua that he’ll be there in a minute.

It was obvious that Kou Li wanted to talk to the Doctor alone, so Butler Hua didn’t ask more questions. As he grabbed Kou Sen, he handed over the luggage to the driver waiting at the door, and walked out first.

The rest of the people present in the hall weren’t stupid. The nanny also called away the two assistants, emptying the hall for the two men to speak alone.

When no one else was around, the simple expression on the Doctor’s face became much more serious. As he walked to Kou Li’s side, he asked: “What is it? You couldn’t sleep well? The effect of the medicine should work just fine.”

Kou Li took off his glasses, sat down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the lenses. Without the cover of his glasses, the Doctor could see the slight bags under Kou Li’s eyes, exposing the fact that he hadn’t slept well. Once Kou Li put his glasses back on, he replied: “I still woke up.”

“Tch.” Dr. Jian simply sat down with him and said: “Tell me, how many times do you wake up in a single night?”

Kou Li remained silent for a while. As if he was trying to recall the number of times he woke up every night. But in the end, he replied: “I can’t remember clearly.”

Jian Yi immediately looked at Kou Li with a blank stare, only to ask him next: “Then, have you had any hallucinations lately?”

Kou Li was silent again, but then he gave an answer that made Dr. Jian speechless: “I don’t know.”

The Doctor was speechless, because he had taught Kou Li an easy technique to tell between hallucinations and reality.

As Jian Yi waved his hand, he said: “Alright, alright. Come to my place when you have time. Ah, by the way, you should take your wife with you, so I can examine him at the same time as you. You didn’t want to cooperate with the treatment before, but now that your wife is back, you should be more obedient, right?”

This time, Kou Li replied immediately: “I understand.”

After Jian Yi chatted with Kou Li for a while, Jian Yi handed Kou Li all of the medicine he brought over. Then, he held out his hand at Kou Li and said: “Sugar Daddy~ the lab is out of money. Please spare me some.”

Kou Li glanced at him and gave Jian Yi the money.

Jian Yi was Kou Li’s personal doctor, but he was also a classmate, a colleague, a business partner, and extraordinarily, also a good friend. After all, Kou Li saw Jian Yi as his only friend, whom he trusted immensely.

After Jian Yi received the money, he smiled sharply. Looking like a criminal who had just obtained a large sum of money from a scam.

As the two of them walked out of the house together, when they parted ways, Jian Yi patted Kou Li’s shoulder. Even though it was clear that he wanted to say something, only one sentence could escape his lips: “Have a great time.”

After Jian Yi got out of his car, the assistant, who accompanied him shortly after arriving at work, couldn’t help but ask: “Professor, what’s happening with Mr. Kou?….. He looks normal.”

Another assistant, who knew a bit more, said: “You don’t understand, do you? There are some people who can look normal on the outside, but are a complete disaster on the inside. You may not know this, but when Mr. Kou came to the Professor for treatment the first time, he looked like—”

“That’s enough.” Jian Yi rubbed the card in his hand, as he interrupted the conversation.

However, even though he interrupted the assistant’s words, the memories from a year ago surfaced in Jian Yi’s mind. When Kou Li came to him, Kou Li looked like a ghost.

At first, when Kou Li had told him that Bian Yi was a fake, Jian Yi couldn’t believe it. But the more information he got, the more he began to doubt ‘Bian Yi’. Moreover, Kou Li’s state wasn’t like a husband who had lost his wife a few months ago. He was more like a madman, who had been searching for his lover without being able to find him for more than a decade.

In fact, ever since Jian Yi began to doubt ‘Bian Yi’, he and Kou Li had people track ‘Bian Yi’. On the day ‘Bian Yi’ was exposed as an impostor, they had people in that building. That day, ‘Bian Yi’ avoided everyone’s eyes, and even avoided some recording devices.

This simply made Jian Yi feel excited to the extreme.

After the tip of his tongue pressed against his teeth, he said to the driver: “Go straight back to the lab.”

…

In another place, after a two-hour flight, Bian Yi finally arrived at E Island.

The Director and the Production Team didn’t arrange for him to participate in the game immediately. Instead, they asked someone to take him to the hotel to rest first. In the morning, the physical games will be recorded, while in the afternoon, the mystery guessing games took place. Bian Yi will be present in the latter.

In the morning, Bian Yi will record the physical games, while in the afternoon, he will solve games, such as solving riddles.

Of course, this arrangement was to take care of Bian Yi. As for Xu Rui, who came with Bian Yi, he was sent directly to the recording set.

Xu Rui didn’t try to greet Bian Yi again when he left. After all, Xu Rui had already lost face, and of course, he didn’t want to be shamed for a second time.

Xu Rui was simply one of the many men Guan Xi had hooked up with. Apart from being disgusted by the fact that Xu Rui had slept with Guan Xi, believing he was Bian Yi, and that Xu Rui had whispered ‘Xiao-Yi’ to him in bed, Bian Yi didn’t really hate him. Bian Yi even pitied Xu Rui a bit.

In his last life, once Guan Xi succeeded in seducing a man, he would soon feel bored and throw that man away. But Guan Xi wouldn’t just seduce one man at a time. He would seduce many at the same time, which resulted in many issues and fights. Even though it seemed that Guan Xi was afraid of conflict, he actually enjoyed the sight of men fighting each other for him.

Xu Rui was one of the few who were severely injured. He was indeed quite unlucky. At that time, Guan Xi cheated on Xu Rui with the boss of a conglomerate that had come ashore. When Xu Rui ran to Guan Xi, asking him why he had been dumped, Xu Rui was confronted by the boss, who was having an affair with Guan Xi. The next day, Xu Rui’s face was disfigured and he ended up with a long scar running across his face. Later, after he had recuperated, Xu Rui never received a good script again. He fell from playing the protagonist to playing an extra, which doomed him to leave the industry in disgrace.

However, that was in Bian Yi’s previous life. In this life, Bian Yi was partially sure that Guan Xi hasn’t yet mastered the ability to mess with so many people at the same time, so Guan Xi may still be having some thoughts about Xu Rui.

When Nie Fang opened the door with the room card, Bian Yi glanced at the assistants that followed behind him, and walked into the room.

It must be said that the Production Team has worked hard. When Bian Yi entered the room, he saw that the natural light inside the room was very good, making the entire room look almost translucent. The great view of the room allowed him to see the blue sea with a single glance.

As Bian Yi sat on the sofa to rest, Nie Fang grabbed the hotel menu and handed it over to Bian Yi, letting him decide what he wanted to eat.

As Bian Yi took the menu and looked at it, the assistants entered the room, then began to organize the luggage.

At that moment, the door of the room was knocked on.

“It should be someone from the Production Team.” Nie Fang said and then asked Wen Xiaobai, who was the closest to the door, to open it.

Despite the fact that Guan Xi was now under the identity of Wen Xiaobai, he felt very uncomfortable when someone ordered him around. But when Guan Xi remembered that he was supposed to be just a novice assistant, he opened the door with his head lowered.

The first thing Guan Xi saw, when opening the door, was a slender waist, and the scent of a cool wooden cologne, which captivated his nostrils. Based on these two hints, he had the hunch that this man must be very handsome. Just when Guan Xi was about to look up to see what that man looked like, he saw a small head popping up from behind the man.

At that instant, Guan Xi froze as he clenched his teeth tightly. Only when he heard Nie Fang’s questioning voice did he regain consciousness, and hurriedly moved aside.

“Daddy!” A soft, baby voice rang out in the doorway.

Everyone in the room looked up at the door in unison, including Bian Yi. When Bian Yi looked over there, the little figure of a child had already rushed into the room, running towards him.

Bian Yi hurriedly opened his arms to catch him. His face was already showing a glowing smile: “Xiao-Shu? Why are you here?”

“Hey, hey, Daddy! Are you surprised? Are you happy?” Xiao-Shu’s eyes bent, looking like a crescent moon. The kid’s slyness looked extremely cute.

“I’m happy, very happy.” Bian Yi’s smile became bigger. When he finally looked towards the door he saw Kou Li, who was dressed in casual clothes.

Due to Guan Xi, Nie Fang had to change the team around Bian Yi, so the make-up artists and stylists in the room, as well as the several assistants, had never seen this father and son duo before.

When they exchanged glances with each other, unfortunately, no one, except Guan Xi, knew who they were. But because Guan Xi kept his head low, no one noticed him for a while.

Bian Yi then introduced them: “This is my son, Xiao-Shu. As for the man at the door, he’s my…. husband, Kou Li.”

There was a low gasp in the room, but no one could tell who exclaimed. Since the family of three had reunited, it wasn’t convenient for them to stay any longer. Nie Fang hurried to take the group of people out of the room.

Guan Xi, who was still beside the door, was the first one to leave the room.

Kou Li, who had already walked into the room and reached Bian Yi’s side, silently glanced at the new assistant that had just walked out of the door.

At that moment, the attention of the people behind Guan Xi was still on Bian Yi’s husband. Although they didn’t talk about it, it was clear that their eyes were full of amazement.

Even though they were all newcomers, not all of them were newbies, and they were well aware of the recent news. Besides, given the words Bian Yi said to Xu Rui on the plane with clear dislike, when everyone left the room, the first thing they said was: “I really don’t understand what that impostor was thinking about. With such a handsome husband at home, why would he still go out and have affairs with other men?”

That question was quickly answered: “I think it’s because the husband was aware that something was wrong. Married couples who spend lots of time together, know each other the best. Even if the impostor looked exactly the same as the original, it’s still fake, and the husband could see it at a single glance.”

When Guan Xi heard these words, his back broke out in a cold sweat.

In fact, Guan Xi had this feeling for a long time. He always felt that Kou Li had found out the truth a long time ago, but never said, nor did anything.

That feeling had always made Guan Xi scared, which is why he had always been afraid of Kou Li.

That fear was still lingering in his subconsciousness.

So he never dared to get close to Kou Li. This time, the System had forced Guan Xi to come back, but he only dared to get close to Bian Yi’s side. However, Guan Xi had forgotten that this Bian Yi was the real one, which meant that Kou Li wouldn’t be as cold and indifferent as he was with Guan Xi. This pair of husbands may be even more inseparable from now on.

In retrospect, Guan Xi will have to run into Kou Li several times in the future.

It has been less than a day since Guan Xi had started to work for Bian Yi and he was already scared to death.
