Rebirth: I was born into the Golden Elixir Stage

"The internet says the pork trotter rice noodles here are delicious." Zhu Yinan held the menu in his hand and quickly said to Leng Shangbei, "It may be a little greasy, is it edible?"

"Okay." Leng Shangbei's cold expression didn't change at all, except for his eyes that were sparkling.

"How about boiled chicken and stewed sea fish?"

"Hmm!" Leng Shangbei's eyes looked at the menu without any change in his expression. When he saw the shrimp dumplings under the sea fish, he pointed at the picture of the shrimp dumplings with a pair of slender fingers, "I want to eat this."

"Okay! Then add this dish."

After ordering the last dish, Zhu Yinan handed the menu to the waiter, who took the menu and left quickly.

"looking at what?"

Leng Shangbei stared out the window with a cold look in his eyes. He said, "Look, that tree is really beautiful."

Zhu Yinan followed Leng Shangbei's line of sight and saw a tree without any leaves, with its fangs and claws bared. "It's very beautiful."

Zhu Yinan echoed.

Leng Shangbei felt that Zhu Yinan was just simply agreeing and didn't know what was so beautiful about the tree, so he asked, "Why do you think it's beautiful?"

"It looks good..." Zhu Yinan dragged out the tone, looking at Leng Shangbei with a pair of sparkling eyes, "It looks good because the person I like thinks it looks good."

"You're just talking nonsense." Leng Shangbei was not satisfied with this answer.

"Then let me be serious." Zhu Yinan cleared his throat, "The surrounding trees all have leaves, except this one. This alone is enough to attract our attention."

“Second, at first glance, it looks fierce and aggressive, but upon closer inspection, it has a unique beauty, a sense of loneliness.”

“Third, it doesn’t have leaves that symbolize life, but you can still feel its crazy and vigorous vitality. It is because of these that you find it beautiful.”

“Its beauty lies not in the flowers, but in the shape!”

"You are right." Leng Shangbei listened carefully to Zhu Yinan's summary and nodded in affirmation, "I like its lonely yet positive and vigorous beauty that is different from other trees."

"What about me?" As soon as Leng Shangbei finished speaking, Zhu Yinan asked unexpectedly, "Do you like me?"

Leng Shangbei was at a loss for words. How could he ask such a question so directly? If he did, how should he answer? This was originally just a contractual marriage, and a contractual marriage did not require love...

In just one second, Leng Shangbei's heart suddenly became panicked and a series of questions flashed through his mind.

How should he answer?

Should I tell him that I like him?

Or should I hide this love and continue to pretend that I don’t care?

what should I do?

"Hello, sir, your meal is here. Please move aside and don't talk on the table."

The waiter's voice suddenly appeared. Leng Shangbei and Zhu Yinan looked up in tacit understanding, only to see the waiter looking at them with a fake smile. They didn't know how long he had been waiting here.

"Hello, gentlemen. We are about to serve our meal. Please do not lie on the table to communicate."

"Sorry." Leng Shangbei apologized and leaned back casually.

The waiter stared at that pretty face as if she felt a little aggrieved, her eyelashes drooped, making her look even more beautiful.

For a moment, the waitress was stunned. She had never seen such a handsome boy.

"Ahem!" Zhu Yinan looked repeatedly at the waiter and Leng Shangbei. Seeing the waiter's stunned expression, he interrupted him quickly.

The waiter reacted to Zhu Yinan's cough, and then found that there was a very handsome man sitting opposite the boy. Suddenly he seemed to understand something, and his eyes glanced back and forth between the two people. After putting the food on the table, he left with a smile.

"She seems to know about our relationship."

After the waiter left, Zhu Yinan said.

Leng Shangbei didn't care about these things, and said calmly, "Do you want to hide it?"

"I don't want to." Zhu Yinan rejected it immediately.

It would be better to announce it to the world, why would it be hidden?

"Then have a good meal."

**

The meal ended quickly, and after leaving the restaurant, the two went to the beach.

A couple holding hands walked past them, with the sounds of laughter and playfulness lingering in the air.

The two people walked side by side into the night. Even though they had already had two in-depth exchanges, they were still cautious when they wanted to hold each other's hands.

Zhu Yinan quietly placed his hand on the back of Leng Shangbei's hand, and hooked his little finger on Leng Shangbei's index finger. When Leng Shangbei felt Zhu Yinan's body temperature coming from the back of his hand, he subconsciously turned his palm around.

The two of them held hands naturally yet unnaturally, cautiously, from a brief touch to interlocking their index fingers.

"Be careful, the sea water is coming up."

"It's so cool and comfortable." Leng Shangbei felt the cold sea water hitting the back of his feet, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Hey, come up quickly." Before they had even gotten down for long, someone on the shore shouted, "The tide is coming in, come up quickly."

Leng Shangbei and Zhu Yinan looked in the direction where the sound came from and found an old man shouting on the shore.

After hearing the old man's shout, Leng Shangbei quickly exchanged a glance with Zhu Yinan, and then left here tacitly. They did not let go of each other's hands until they returned to the hotel.

“Your fans know we’re here.”

"Ah."

"I didn't even see your fans coming over."

"I'm already married, so it's useless for them to come over." Zhu Yinan said as he took off his coat, "When I entered the entertainment industry, I said I had someone I liked, so I don't have many female fans."

"And now... most of our girlfriend fans have become our CP fans."

"What about the remaining few?"

"There are even a few people who have stopped being fans. They say I'm not worthy of you."

Zhu Yinan took off his own coat and turned to take off Leng Shangbei's coat.

Leng Shangbei did not refuse. The two of them were as familiar with each other as any other couples.

"Are there no fans who only like you?" Leng Shangbei didn't believe it, but he still asked, "There were some before, but after the photos of the two of us were exposed by fans, there are no more."

"I don't believe it. You are trying to make me happy."

"I'm just teasing you."

After he finished speaking, Leng Shangbei's ears turned red instantly, and he remained silent and didn't want to talk.

Before he knew it, Zhu Yinan had stripped Leng Shangbei of even his pants, leaving him in only a white shirt.

Zhu Yinan's kisses fell densely on his neck, his shoulders, and finally on his lips.

The two of them lingered for a long time, and the exhausted Leng Shangbei was carried to the bathroom by Zhu Yinan.

Zhu Yinan leaned in the bathtub and Leng Shangbei lay on top of him.

"Shangbei." Zhu Yinan scooped up warm water and sprinkled it on Leng Shangbei's flushed skin.

There are dense kiss marks on the skin, old and new all over the body.

"You haven't answered me yet." Zhu Yinan continued to ask, "Do you love me?"

"That's not what you asked." Leng Shangbei retorted.

When Zhu Yinan heard this, he chuckled and asked, "Then how did I ask?"

Leng Shangbei fell silent again. Zhu Yinan waited for a long time but did not get his answer.

When the hot water gradually cooled down, Leng Shangbei supported the bathtub with both hands and trapped Zhu Yinan inside.

The beautiful eyes met the phoenix eyes, and a light kiss was placed.

"Not enough." When Leng Shangbei was about to leave, Zhu Yinan pressed the back of Leng Shangbei's head with one hand and deepened the kiss.

"What should I do?" Zhu Yinan kissed Leng Shangbei's lips, "It was you who provoked me this time."

He picked up Leng Shangbei and stood up from the bathtub.

When I stood up, there was a splashing sound and the water in the pool kept bubbling out.

Zhu Yinan hugged Leng Shangbei, and the two of them came to the bedroom again.

They kissed each other and blended with each other.

**

"What do you want to eat today?"

"Crab roe buns. I heard there's a restaurant here that has delicious crab roe buns."

"I'll buy it for you. You just wait here for me to come back." Zhu Yinan kissed Leng Shangbei's forehead and turned to leave.

The morning light shone on Leng Shangbei's cheek. He stretched his body, got out of bed and put on his shirt. Just as he was about to go to the balcony, he suddenly remembered the photos taken yesterday.

He quickly took two steps back, put on his pajamas, opened the door, and walked onto the balcony.

He sat in his original spot, only this time he was alone.

The cool sea breeze blows on my face and the sea water hits the beach.

It's quiet and peaceful here, a great place for a vacation.

Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the peace. Leng Shangbei didn't want to answer it, but the ring kept ringing. He had no choice but to return to the bedroom. He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Zhao Qingchen.

He still didn't answer. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now.

When the phone finally stopped ringing, he found that he had received quite a few WeChat messages during this period.

He opened WeChat, and except for a few messages from Zhao Qingchen and Gu Qingan, the rest were all from a dormitory group called 509.

Zhao Chengqing immediately posted the photos he found on Weibo in the group and discussed them with his two other roommates in the group.

[“Oh my god, this guy must be Shangbei! How did he suddenly change from a handsome and sunny boy to such a beautiful man…”

"He was beautiful to begin with."

"No, what I meant is that I usually feel that he is very manly, but in this photo... I only see... a married woman?"

...

"He is married."

...]

Leng Shangbei read the message and immediately replied, "It was taken by me, a fan of Yinan. It is really well taken."

[You are here, Shangbei! Where are you now? Tell me the truth, the background in the photo doesn't look like ours. ]

[I'm in Beihai. I'll bring you some coconuts when I get back.]

[Great! There are fresh leaves to eat~ But how do we open them if you bring them here? ]

[This... I haven't thought about it. Why not bring some seafood here? It tastes pretty good. ]

[Shangbei, you are really my dear love, mua~ I want to eat squid. ]

[I want some too, I want some too, I want...is there any shark meat? ]

...

Li Haoqin's remarks made Zhao Chengqing speechless, and he criticized Li Haoqin for a long time.

He then changed his words and said, "I want to eat their little octopus, it's delicious."

【Don't worry, I'll bring them all. 】

After replying to the message in the dormitory group, Leng Shangbei went to check Zhao Qingchen's message.

Zhao Qingchen only had two messages: a picture of the sea and a sentence.

[Go north! Look, I came to see the sea! It's a pity that you are not here, and my happiness is much less. ]
