Ye Ze silently looked at Shen Ye.
Under the quiet moonlight, two big men sat cross-legged in meditation… The scene was really beautiful. If someone passed by, they would surely think that these two were crazy.
To avoid being mistaken for crazy, Ye Ze glanced at the child and took his hand, saying, “I have an idea.”
Shen Ye blinked.
“Do you want to take a boat ride?” Ye Ze’s gaze fell on the sparkling river.
Shen Ye thought of the photo he had seen in the class group before, a small boat floating slowly in the river, surrounded by layers of ancient buildings, willows hanging over the riverbank, and the bright sunshine in the distance. It looked really beautiful.
Although it was now evening and there was no sunshine, the light under the eaves shone on the river, creating a unique atmosphere.
“I want to.” Shen Ye nodded honestly.
Ye Ze smiled gently and held his hand. “Let’s go take a boat ride.”
They walked to the small pier where someone was already waiting on the boat to row them.
Of course, the boat had long been docked, but Zong Yiming was an all-around assistant, so if Ye Ze and Shen Ye had any requests, Zong Yiming would naturally arrange them.
Apart from the boatman, there were only Ye Ze and Shen Ye on the boat.
Under the silence of all things, the small boat broke through the river water, creating a small and pleasant sound. Moreover, the canopy of the boat had been removed, allowing them to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Shen Ye looked around for a while and really enjoyed it. The only downside was that to balance the boat, he and Ye Ze had to sit on either side.
“Uncle, look over there.” Shen Ye pointed ahead. “It’s so beautiful.”
The boat was just about to pass under a small bridge, and there was a bright moon shining on the river surface below.
Ye Ze gently said, “It’s really beautiful,” as he and Shen Ye enjoyed the scenery on either side.
When the boat was halfway there, Ye Ze suddenly spoke softly, “Have I not proposed to you yet?”
When he moved to Rongyuan, the child had asked him if he wanted to get married. Ye Ze had agreed and had long been prepared to spend his life with the child. In another month, they would even return to the imperial capital to get married. But he hadn’t proposed yet, and they didn’t even have rings.
Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes. Could it be what he was thinking?
The next second, Ye Ze actually got down on one knee, pulled out a ring from somewhere, and looked tenderly at Shen Ye. “Will you marry me?”
This time, it was his turn to propose.
Under the dim lights and the moonlight, the man’s eyes were as deep as a lake, filled with intense emotions.
Shen Ye’s heart raced. “Y-yes!”
This was too surprising!
Ye Ze smiled as he put the ring on the child’s finger and handed the other ring to Shen Ye, indicating that he should put it on himself.
Shen Ye grinned foolishly as he put the ring on the man’s finger, then held out his own hand, placing it next to the man’s hand.
The rings on their hands shimmered in the light.
“Uncle, when did you prepare this?” Shen Ye was delighted but also a little melancholy. Mainly because he still couldn’t see the man’s face clearly and didn’t know about his plans.
But…it was also good.
Just imagine if he had seen through the man’s plans early on, he would have lost a lot of fun.
Ye Ze smiled and grabbed the hand he had put the ring on. “Do you like it?”
Shen Ye nodded vigorously. “Yes!”
The smile in Ye Ze’s eyes deepened. If it weren’t for the danger of capsizing, Shen Ye really wanted to pounce on the man.
“Did you specially prepare today’s proposal?” Shen Ye’s eyes were shining with curiosity.
Ye Ze touched his face, “No.”
Since the day he decided to marry the child, he had ordered the ring to be custom-made. As for Shen Ye’s finger size, he measured it while the child was asleep.
Today, the ring had just arrived and he was thinking of finding an opportunity to propose to the child. But when they arrived here and saw the beautiful scenery, the child was so happy… Ye Ze thought of proposing.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye smiled and said, “Even if it was a last-minute decision, I still love it!”
He looked at the ring in his hand, feeling incredibly beautiful.
Ye Ze smiled as he watched him.
Under the moonlight, the man’s face was just too handsome!
Shen Ye swallowed and couldn’t help but call out to the boatman, “Please stop by the shore.”
He couldn’t wait any longer!
Ye Ze’s eyes gleamed with a smile, but he didn’t stop him.
As soon as the boat stopped at the shore, Shen Ye eagerly pulled the man up the steps and ran to an empty alley, hugging the man’s waist tightly. “I want to kiss you.”
Ye Ze chuckled and granted his wish.
Feeling Shen Ye’s hand reaching into his clothes, Ye Ze lightly pulled his hand away and then picked him up horizontally.
Shen Ye was surprised and hugged the man’s neck, “Don’t you want to continue?”
“Um.” Ye Ze held him and walked back, “Let’s go back to the inn.”
Shen Ye was a bit disappointed. He breathed in the man’s ear, “I still want to do something else.”
Ye Ze kissed him lightly on the lips, “Let’s do it in our room.”
Shen Ye’s eyes turned and he grinned, “Uncle, are you shy? I can use magic to block out the outside world, so no one can see what we’re doing…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ze covered his mouth again.
Shen Ye: “…”
Although he loved being kissed by the man, it was clear that this time he just wanted him to be quiet…
“You don’t love me anymore.” Shen Ye pouted.
Ye Ze pinched his ear, “Be good.”
Shen Ye hummed twice and thought about the fun things he would do with the man in their room later, feeling happy again.
“Then walk faster.” Shen Ye’s voice was filled with excitement as he looked at the man with his moist eyes.
Ye Ze’s throat moved, and he quickened his pace.
Shen Ye felt a bit excited inside and quietly used a technique to reduce his weight so that the man could walk faster.
Back in the room, Shen Ye used a technique to isolate everything from the outside world. Even if he and Ye Ze were making a ruckus inside the room, no one outside could hear or see them.
Halfway through, Shen Ye had a sudden idea and hugged Ye Ze’s neck, saying, “Let’s go to the window.”
Ye Ze knew that Shen Ye had isolated the outside world and didn’t have any reservations, so he hugged him and walked to the window.
The view downstairs was still beautiful, with the river flowing quietly and the lights under the eaves shining on the river, creating a long dragon-like shape that seemed endless and stretched to the horizon.
Shen Ye whispered in admiration, “So beautiful.”
Ye Ze looked at the child’s white and tender face, as well as his reddened eyes, and softly said, “Hmm, very beautiful.”
The two of them spent a joyful night together and didn’t wake up until almost noon the next day.
Shen Ye woke up in Ye Ze’s arms and heard a sound hitting the windowsill outside.
Ye Ze lowered his head and kissed him, saying, “It’s raining.”
Shen Ye was surprised.
The weather was fine when he came yesterday, and it was raining today.
What he didn’t know was that it was the rainy season now, and clear weather yesterday was rare.
The rain outside the window wasn’t heavy, tapping on the wooden windowsill, making a pleasant sound.
Shen Ye was particularly curious, wrapped himself in the blanket, and sat up, seeing the rain outside falling like a curtain, and the distant scenery was obscured by mist, but it had a feeling of a Chinese ink painting.
Ye Ze hugged him from behind and said, “There are some other sights nearby, do you want to go see them?”
Shen Ye didn’t particularly like rainy days because going outside would make his shoes, socks, and clothes wet. Although he could use techniques to isolate the rainwater, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
He lay in the man’s arms, staring at the ring on his hand for a long time before lazily saying, “I don’t feel like moving.”
Ye Ze kissed his forehead and called Zong Yiming to bring breakfast.
Zong Yiming arrived quickly.
In fact, this was brunch. Shen Ye also called Xu Ce to eat together.
While eating seafood porridge, Xu Ce suddenly remembered something and said, “Mo Zige and Han Feng sent me a message.”
Shen Ye looked at him.
“Han Feng’s mother agreed to divorce.” Xu Ce recalled Mo Zige’s chat content, [“Han Feng’s grandmother won’t tell Mother Han, today Grandma Han will even take Father Han to the countryside and leave the villa to Mother Han.”]
It’s probably because Grandma Han feels that she owes Mother Han, so she doesn’t want to hold Mother Han responsible and has given her the family property.
As for Father Han and that man, Mo Zige and Han Feng haven’t mentioned what will happen in the future. I guess Grandma Han can’t accept her son being with a man.
But this matter is none of outsiders’ business.
To be honest, Mother Han’s experience is certainly pitiful. But fortunately, Mother Han’s maternal family helped Father Han and Grandma Han didn’t go so far as to eat human bones.
I heard that some women who were cheated on wanted to divorce, and in the end, they were left with nothing, even their honor was ruined, or they contracted diseases… They were more miserable than Mother Han.
However, the suffering that Mother Han has endured over the past few decades cannot be measured by money.
I just hope she can get out of the shadows soon.
“Han Feng’s crew is urging him to go back. He and Mo Zige have already returned to Haicheng today. They said they will personally come to thank you when you go back.” Xu Ce said.
Shen Ye nodded, having no objection.
In fact, Mo Zige had already transferred the payment to his WeChat account. The deal was already successfully concluded, and he didn’t need the two’s gratitude.
But since they understood the meaning of gratitude, he had no reason to refuse.
After eating, the group continued to discuss their itinerary. Because it was rare to have the opportunity to come here and play, in the end, Shen Ye decided to continue wandering around the surrounding area.
At first, Shen Ye was worried about delaying Ye Ze’s work, but Ye Ze said he had already explained it to Shen Shimu, and if there were any issues, Shen Shimu would contact him. As for Shen Ye, it was easy. He just needed to take a leave of absence from school. Their school had a special nature, and many students were filming outside all year round, and the school allowed for leaves of absence.
Just as they had made the decision, Shen Ye received a WeChat message from Xu Sisi.
[“Either you make Xu Ce come back, or I’ll go find you guys, and you’ll reimburse me!”]
Xu Sisi was very angry. She and Xu Ce were developing feelings for each other, but Shen Ye not only abducted Xu Ce but also planned to stay in the scenic area for a few days. How could she endure it?
Shen Ye felt a little guilty and immediately replied: [“You come over here, all expenses covered!”]
Only then did Xu Sisi smile and send him a laughing and petting dog emoji.
After that, Shen Ye and Ye Ze took a nap and planned to go downstairs for a walk in the afternoon.
Although it was raining heavily, there were still many tourists at the scenic spot. They were either holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats, wandering around the alleys.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze shared an umbrella and walked slowly in the alley, listening to the sound of rain falling on the stone slabs, as if time had slowed down.
Because Shen Ye wanted to eat hot pot, they walked all the way out of the scenic area. They heard that there was an authentic hot pot restaurant outside the scenic area with a high rating online, and they were going to try it out.
When they walked to the exit of the scenic area, Shen Ye casually scanned the square and saw several adults running in the rain, shouting. Unfortunately, the rain was too loud, and they couldn’t hear what they were saying.
At this moment, almost all the tourists were still in the scenic area, and there were few people in the square. These adults running around were very conspicuous.
Shen Ye had good eyesight and could see the anxious and desperate expressions on their faces.
“Uncle, wait a minute.” Shen Ye pulled Ye Ze’s sleeve.
Ye Ze looked down at him, “Hmm?”
“Those people seem to be in trouble.” Shen Ye pointed to the square.
Hearing him say this, Ye Ze immediately guessed that he wanted to help those people.
As a kind child, he certainly supported this and immediately asked the bodyguards to bring those people over.
Those people were a family. Their child was lost near the entrance of the scenic area, and they were frantically searching for him.
The child’s father originally had a leash with him, but the child wanted to go to the bathroom, so he took him there. When the child came out of the bathroom, the father was tapped on the shoulder by someone, and someone deliberately blocked his view. When he realized it, the child was gone! It took less than half a minute!
They had already reported to the police and searched the surveillance cameras in the scenic area, which showed that the child was abducted by a child trafficker. The crowded scenic area and the rainy weather were the perfect timing for the crime. The child trafficker was holding a black umbrella and passed through several others before the child was brought to the square.
The square was the place where tourist buses entered and exited, and perhaps the child trafficker had already left on a bus.
The family was going crazy, searching in the rain with faint hope. The police were also inspecting the tourist buses leaving the area, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Shen Ye looked at the child’s father and said, “Your child is temporarily safe.”
But this could not comfort the child’s family. After all, being temporarily safe did not mean they could be found or that nothing would happen in the future.
“Is there a clear view of the trafficker’s face in the surveillance footage?” Shen Ye asked.
The mother of the child nodded tearfully, “Yes.”
The surveillance footage cannot be taken out, so they can only go find the person in charge of the scenic area to replay it.
Shen Ye looked at Ye Ze and said, “It seems like we need to make a trip there.”
Ye Ze nodded, “Okay.”
Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile.
He was afraid of dampening the man’s enthusiasm for walking, but he also knew that the man would support all his decisions.
It was the child’s family who asked curiously, “Are you a policeman?”
Shen Ye replied, “I am not a policeman, I am a Taoist. If I see the face of the trafficker, I will be able to track their movements. Just now, I looked at your faces and was able to determine that you had lost your child.”
In fact, by looking at the faces of the child’s family, he could guess where the child was. But the problem was that traffickers are very cunning and during the escape, they might change their route or switch to another person to take over…
There were too many variables, unlike the son of Fu Guanglin who had been caught by the traffickers and had not moved from that hotel.
Therefore, he decided to first look at the face of the trafficker before making any decisions.
The adults looked at each other in confusion.
It was the first time they had seen such a young Taoist. To be honest, if Shen Ye and Ye Ze weren’t handsome and elegant, they might have thought that these two were just looking for fun.
Shen Ye knew that they didn’t believe him, so as not to waste any more time, he directly cast a spell on a nearby flower bed.
Suddenly, the rain around the flower bed stopped, as if there was an invisible umbrella sheltering the flowers from the rain.
“Now do you believe me?” Shen Ye said.
The child’s family was shocked but also filled with joy.
If the young handsome man in front of them is really a powerful Taoist, then maybe they can really find their child!
“Master, please save my son.” The child’s mother wiped her tears and bowed to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye said, “Take me to see the surveillance footage.”
So the child’s parents took Shen Ye and Ye Ze to see the surveillance footage.
The police were also there on the surveillance side, and when they heard that Shen Ye was a master, they were skeptical. But the child’s parents were determined to believe in Shen Ye and begged the police to look at the surveillance footage again, and the police did not stop them.
The gang of kidnappers was skilled, and from taking the child to passing it on several times, they did not reveal their appearance.
It wasn’t until the police went back to yesterday’s surveillance footage that they found out that the kidnappers had been lying in wait here, and that was how they got a full view of two of the kidnappers.
Shen Ye stared at the two kidnappers’ faces and said, “They are riding in a black private car to Jiang City. You can check them at the highway intersection and you will definitely find them.”
He also reported the license plate number.
“Perhaps the kidnappers will change their itinerary halfway, but I will stay here and watch their faces until you catch them. If their itinerary changes, I will let you know as soon as possible.”
The police were somewhat distrustful of him.
Shen Ye had to show his magic again and let several police officers experience the power of the talisman.
Now everyone believed him, and the police immediately contacted the police station and traffic management bureau in Jiang City to coordinate the investigation.
The child’s parents were excited. After seeing Shen Ye’s ability, they believed that their child could be saved!
They were particularly grateful to Shen Ye and were prepared to kneel down and thank him.
Shen Ye stopped them and said, “No need to be polite. Let’s find the child first.”
Everyone was waiting for news, and Shen Ye occasionally looked at the kidnappers’ faces in the surveillance footage, but mostly he was leaning on Ye Ze’s chest.
He held Ye Ze’s hand and sighed softly, “Sorry, Uncle, for letting you accompany me here bored.”
Ye Ze smiled and poked his nose, “Silly, if I’m not accompanying you, who else will?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye bent his eyes and smiled, leaning over to kiss him. “Yeah, who else, since I am your fiance.”
Ye Ze touched his face and laughed along.
After about half an hour, news came from the police that the child had been found! The kidnapper was in a black car, and even the license plate number was exactly the same as what Shen Ye had said.
The police said that the kidnapper had already bought tickets and was planning to take the child on a train to sell in the northwest as soon as they arrived in Jiang City. If it weren’t for Shen Ye’s timely tracking of the kidnapper’s whereabouts, the child might never have been found!
The child’s family was extremely grateful to Shen Ye, and if it weren’t for the police stopping them, they would have kowtowed to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye still couldn’t stop thinking about hot pot, so when he saw that the child had been found, he pulled Ye Ze up and prepared to leave.
The police wanted to ask about Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s situation, mainly because Shen Ye was very powerful and the police also wanted to establish a good relationship. They even wanted to find reporters to cover the story, as it was very positive. However, they realized that Shen Ye was a master and it wouldn’t be appropriate to expose him to the public, so they gave up on the idea.
Shen Ye chatted with them for a while before pulling Ye Ze and leaving.
Just as the two were walking out the door, a young female police officer suddenly slapped her head and said, “Oh my god, isn’t that Master Shen Ye?”
She was an experienced internet user who often frequented various apps and websites for the latest gossip. Shen Ye had previously been a star and had some fame, but he had also caused a lot of controversy in the entertainment industry, so she recognized him for sure!
She hadn’t recognized him earlier because she didn’t expect Master Shen Ye to be touring this area.
By the way, wasn’t the man next to Master Shen Ye the stunningly handsome guy from the video last time?
She was a fan of the Master-Shuai CP (couple pairing)!
Seeing that Master Shen Ye and his partner were about to walk out the door, she quickly took out her phone.
Of course, she didn’t rush over to take a frontal shot like those crazy fans but just took pictures of the two from behind.
The handsome guy opened an umbrella, held onto Master Shen Ye, and the two walked into the rain holding hands.
The silhouette alone was particularly beautiful.
The female police officer screamed in her heart and took many shots in a row.
After the two left, she looked back at the photos and suddenly realized that Master Shen Ye and the handsome guy were wearing rings on their fingers!
She zoomed in on the photo and sure enough, there were rings!
And the rings were on their ring fingers…were they married?
Wow!
She had hit the jackpot!
This message is so exciting that if she wasn’t still on a mission, she would have immediately shared it with her sisters in the CP group!
After finally getting off work, the young lady couldn’t resist her curiosity and immediately shared the photos in the CP group, which is dedicated to the characters Meng Ruyan, Shen Ye, and Ye Ze.
As soon as the photos were posted, everyone in the group was screaming with emojis. Meng Ruyan happened to be in the group and when she saw Shen Ye and Ye Ze wearing wedding rings, she immediately sent a message: “Mom finally got what she wanted!”
… If Shen Ye found out that she called herself “Mom,” he would definitely beat her up!
There may have been some marketing accounts lurking in the group, and since Shen Ye was so popular, the photo of him and Ye Ze holding hands under an umbrella quickly spread all over the Internet.
Now everyone knows that Shen Ye has gotten married to a man.
When Shen Ye helped an old lady recover her stolen money at the bank, someone happened to take a video of Ye Ze. So that video was dug up and shared online, and netizens who saw Ye Ze’s stunningly handsome face all commented that the two were a perfect match!
However, there were also some voices of dissent on the Internet.
Although same-sex marriage is now legal, there is still a large portion of people who cannot accept men being together. Many online trolls used harsh words to criticize Shen Ye, and some netizens in marketing accounts also joined in.
[“Such a big man being dominated by another man, isn’t it disgusting?”]
[“I really misjudged Shen Ye. I thought he was a tough straight guy, but it turns out he’s bent!”]
[“Although I don’t oppose men being together, there’s no need to be so public about it, right?”]
[“Marrying a man and still being so public, isn’t this misleading young people?”]
Fortunately, Shen Ye has many fans and some righteous netizens who immediately shut down the keyboard warriors.
[“Misleading young people? That’s too much. We’re not buying it!”]
[“Now that same-sex marriage is legal, are these keyboard warriors still living in the Qing dynasty?”]
[“If they want to get married, let them get married. What’s it to you?”]
Meanwhile, Shen Ye and Ye Ze, who were at the center of the storm, were enjoying some hotpot at a restaurant and had no idea what was happening online.
