As Gu Nian inadvertently blurted out that the baby didn’t look like the movie emperor, Duan Shen was greatly displeased and left with his phone.
Gu Nian was a bit bewildered: “He’s like a lord setting fire wherever he pleases, not caring about the consequences… Men are so unpredictable!”
After waiting for a while, Duan Shen returned unexpectedly. He casually remarked, “I just bought a piece of natural pasture and some cows. After drinking the milk I bought, he’ll become more like me in the future.”
Gu Nian: “…”
The baby’s round eyes kept staring at Gu Nian and the movie emperor, his fingers twitching slightly as if wanting to be lifted up and held by Gu Nian.
Excitedly, Gu Nian exclaimed, “I think he’s trying to speak!”
Duan Shen confirmed, “He is.”
Gu Nian was affirmed by the movie emperor, still not fully believing his own ears. He sternly said, “Just because you like me doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything I say.”
What’s the use of getting cheap and acting coy?
Duan Shen patted the fool’s head. “You’ve taught them so much in the second dimension. The baby is a fusion of these mental fragments and naturally remembers some things.”
The baby wasn’t stupid, just like me, thought the movie emperor.
Their experiences in the second dimension with the baby weren’t in vain. The baby understood some things when he was born, but his language system hadn’t caught up yet, so he couldn’t speak. The baby was very well-behaved, sleeping soundly after eating and drinking his fill, occasionally blinking at his dads, not knowing what they were communicating about.
At first, the baby looked like one of the child actors in Gu Nian’s edited clips, but since his genes came from both Gu Nian and Duan Shen, as he grew older, he gradually deviated from his original appearance. Under the strong guidance of genetics from both fathers, the baby began to exhibit the best qualities of both.
He had Duan Shen’s sharp, thick eyebrows and somewhat cold eye corners, but his eyelashes were long and soft like Gu Nian’s, not as sharp as Duan Shen’s.
Duan Shen was very proud and whispered to the baby, “Daddy bought you another pasture.”
Milk really worked.
“Snap!”
Gu Nian, who happened to pass by, slapped Duan Shen’s waist. “You’re buying even though he’s almost weaned?”
A pasture was already more than enough; wasn’t this extravagant?
Duan Shen calmly held Gu Nian’s hand. “The milk has to be varied. When the child grows up, we can turn it into a horse farm.”
Gu Nian and the movie emperor had both weathered many storms. While one had raised 36 children, now only one baby sometimes wasn’t enough.
The movie emperor would always grab him whenever he had a chance, and Gu Nian couldn’t easily snatch the baby back.
There was an element of overflowing paternal love, but more than that, it was a form of compensation. When they first entered the second dimension, he had left everything for Gu Nian to handle, not caring about things that didn’t concern him, which was indeed too cold-hearted at the time.
Of course, if faced with the same situation again, as long as the person wasn’t Gu Nian, the movie emperor would dare to do it.
With Duan Shen, Gu Nian suddenly had a strange idea. He picked up a magnifying glass and started scrutinizing, together with the Deep Valley fans, their past interactions.
What if everything they found was true?!
As a master of scrutiny, Gu Nian was overwhelmed with sweetness by his and the movie emperor’s CP. He followed the Deep Valley fans around, foolishly snacking on expired candy. When there were uncertainties, he would screenshot them and ask Duan Shen for verification.
Not only could I indulge in my own CP, but I could also verify it on the spot!
After searching around, Gu Nian rushed to the kitchen and, pointing to the list in his notebook titled “Top Ten Questions Deep Valley Fans Most Want to Verify,” asked, “When I was digging in the snowdrifts, weren’t you in the house? How did you come out first? Were you secretly watching me the whole time? If I went to kill chickens alone without you, would you be upset?”
Gu Nian was floating now; he dared to ask such speculative questions.
Duan Shen skillfully washed the baby bottles, not directly answering, “I’ve forgotten all about the silly things you’ve done if you don’t remind me.”
“Oh.” Gu Nian checked off a box in his notebook. “False candy.”
He persisted, “On the second night of the variety show, how did you know I had a fever? I don’t think I mentioned it in the second dimension?”
Duan Shen placed the baby bottles in the sterilizer. “Because you kept looking at your hands in the second dimension, so I went over to check on you. You were the one I brought onto the variety show, so if anything went wrong, I had to take responsibility.”
In fact, it wasn’t just a casual visit. It was so cold outside that the movie emperor had originally planned to sleep until the director spoke up.
“Half candy.” Gu Nian marked it down truthfully and persevered, “Why did you insist on crossing the river in the end? Winning or losing wasn’t important. I bet if I did the same, you would scold me for being foolish.”
The movie emperor turned around and lifted him onto the countertop, kissing him until he was out of breath. “Why so much nonsense? It’s because you wanted to win.”
Gu Nian tried to escape backward, weakly saying, “I didn’t want to…”
“No, you did.” The movie emperor’s cold fingers pressed against his neck, half-threateningly. “You dare not admit it? If you didn’t want to win, why did your eyes light up like stars every time I mentioned a clue?”
“Alright, then this question gets full sugar!” Gu Nian excitedly gripped the pen, ready to draw five stars.
“No more questions.” Duan Shen snatched away the pen, tossed the notebook into the cabinet, pushed up Gu Nian’s shirt, and muttered, “They’re all true.”
The movie emperor had his pride too.
Gu Nian felt as sweet as honey in his heart, being treated like a sweet little candy.
After everything was over, Gu Nian, still feeling as if in a dream, finally moved away from the countertop. “Didn’t we agree that we wouldn’t do anything the next day?”
On such a hot day, how was he supposed to wear a white shirt?!
Gu Nian had already modified his style five times, adding a suit jacket to every white shirt!
The movie emperor helped him button up. “I changed my mind.”
As Gu Nian and the movie emperor’s movie became a huge success, solidifying the movie emperor’s status in the film industry, Gu Nian also successfully gained fame. Despite staying at home to take care of the baby, the invitations kept pouring in, and the fans remained loyal.
Once they got busy, they rarely had complete holidays. The movie emperor expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation through his actions.
But Gu Nian was a principled guy. “No more than twice a week.”
Back when he was trying to get pregnant, he didn’t dare to complain even when the movie emperor squeezed him for three days straight. Now, Gu Nian was also a warrior who dared to fight back against the movie emperor.
Recently, the Deep Valley CP encountered a strong opponent—a heavenly scissor-hand wife who suddenly appeared, her popularity rivaling that of Gu Nian’s alternate account.
Her editing videos were well-crafted, beautifully illustrated, and effortlessly gained tens of thousands of views, attracting countless passersby into her fandom.
The one forming a CP with Duan Shen was none other than Mount Fuji from Japan!
As Duan Shen recently joined a filming crew and had less interaction with Gu Nian publicly, Mount Fuji also happened to be in the same drama crew, posting gratitude pictures every day, thanking “Brother Duan for guiding me in acting.”
The Himalayan Deep Valley fans cheered each other on, saying, “We’ll have our sugar!”
“But the opponent’s wife is too strong. I went undercover and watched it once. Their CP chemistry is amazing!”
“You’re not undercover; you’re a traitor!”
“If only the legendary retired scissor hand would come out of retirement.”
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone fell silent abruptly, then looked at each other with a sense of impending doom—could you please shut up?
After all, that scissor hand was practically labeled as “Gu Nian’s ultimate fan.” With her personality, the likelihood of her siding with the opposition was a solid two hundred percent!
Gu Nian, as the spiritual shareholder of “Deep Valley,” shared the same concerns as the fans, not out of jealousy, as Duan Shen video called him every day. He looked at the dusty computer beside him, reigniting his fighting spirit, eager to get started.
However, Duan Shen had forbidden him from sitting in front of the computer for long periods of time, let alone excessively editing videos.
But Duan Shen wasn’t home today!
The baby was asleep too!
Gu Nian rubbed his hands together and opened that sinful computer, touching the mouse and keyboard, determined to give the computer a new name. From today onwards, the computer would be his intermediary—matchmaker and introducer!
In order to easily keep an eye on the baby at all times, Gu Nian used a large monitor specifically for watching movies. He positioned it more than a meter away from himself, placed the baby in between, and then put on headphones to ensure that even if he couldn’t hear clearly, he could still monitor the baby’s condition.
He passionately edited throughout the night, praising himself as he worked.
“Me and Duan Shen are like a legendary romance!”
“We can’t even begin to capture one-thousandth of it!”
Gu Nian felt proud of himself. As he finished up, he had a brilliant idea and wanted to show off his skills.
“Science is the first barrier to cults! Cutting-edge technology is the light of editing!”
The so-called “cutting-edge technology” in editing referred to fabricating non-existent scenes using materials, creating clips that looked completely real.
To completely overpower the rival CP, Gu Nian planned to photoshop a dynamic image of himself and Duan Shen in bed together, making it look like a blurry, post-coital scene!
The setting was simple: just the two of them on a white bed, smiling at each other under the covers.
Although he had ready-made images on his phone, he couldn’t use them.
Photoshopping was easy, but making it dynamic was difficult. Gu Nian immersed himself in the task, listening to accompanying sound effects through his headphones, completely unaware of the sound of the front door opening.
The monitor, the baby, and Gu Nian were aligned in a straight line, coinciding with the three hands on the clock at midnight, complementing each other perfectly.
When Duan Shen returned from filming that night, he couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the three points in the living room.
He put down his suitcase, walked up behind Gu Nian, first glanced at the sleeping baby to see if he had kicked off the blanket, then turned his gaze to Gu Nian’s computer.
What was this?
Gu Nian was photoshopping a bed picture of them?
He had only been away for half a month, and Gu Nian was already so desperate?
Duan Shen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he tugged at his tie, then went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water first.
He wanted to see when Gu Nian would notice him.
After drinking a glass of water, Duan Shen stared at Gu Nian’s snowy white nape. The image of the bed photo in his mind was faster than Gu Daishi’s mouse.
Watching Gu Nian save the project file, name it, export it, and then open a certain website, log in with an account he hadn’t used in a year, and prepare to publish, he even typed out a content summary.
“[The Queen’s position is unshakable, Duan Shen × Gu Nian! High-energy alert! Enter with caution!!!]”
Just as Gu Nian was about to review it again to make sure there was no risk of being exposed, the crib moved slightly, and the baby stretched out his little legs, kicking off the blanket.
Gu Nian immediately noticed and pulled out a chair to cover his son. But as he turned around, he bumped into someone.
Duan Shen quickly covered Gu Nian’s mouth to muffle his scream, then let go and kissed him fiercely.
“Want it?” Duan Shen’s voice was hoarse.
“When did you come back…” Gu Nian remembered his masterpiece and hastily blocked the computer with his body. “It’s not what it looks like, I didn’t…”
Duan Shen went over to tuck the baby in and moved him to the bedroom. “Even if I call, can I not give it to you?”
Gu Nian sensed Duan Shen’s desire to tease him and his dissatisfaction with him spending so much time on the computer. In summary, he was unsatisfied. He leaned over and followed Duan Shen, explaining, “No, I just needed a sugar fix… I, I shouldn’t have secretly played on the computer.”
He muttered in a low voice, “If I don’t make a move, our CP fans are going to go crazy!”
Duan Shen turned around, waiting for Gu Nian to crash into his arms. He pinched Gu Nian’s waist and hugged him. Gu Xiaosheng instinctively wrapped his limbs around him. When he noticed a certain change in Duan Shen, it was already difficult to back down.
“You don’t even look at the time now,” Duan Shen said calmly, holding him and sitting down in front of the computer. “Is it worth doing this in the middle of the night?”
Gu Nian watched helplessly as Duan Shen enlarged the image on the screen, feeling like he wanted to die.
Duan Shen said, “Before I left, I wanted to have more fun with you, but you refused.”
Is it just a few times? I think you want to have dozens of times! Gu Nian couldn’t argue and could only look at the emperor sincerely, “These are two different things.”
Duan Shen nodded, “You say no, but your body wants it. It’s two different things.”
Gu Nian sighed inwardly, feeling that the emperor was going to settle the score with him later!
What a crappy computer! He had just praised it as a matchmaker!
Duan Shen casually retrieved the deleted files from the recycle bin as if it were his own computer. The entire list was filled with “[Duan Shen gives birth, high energy, enter with caution!]”
Oh no, the emperor is going to make him pay for this later!
Gu Nian dared not resist and reluctantly counted how many “enter with caution” there were. He scrolled the mouse wheel quickly, hoping to confuse Duan Shen and make him lose count.
“Thir…thirty!” There were definitely more than that, but Gu Nian knew the number of his own creations very well.
Duan Shen affectionately patted Gu Nian’s cheek, “You can’t even lie properly. Just with the baby, there are already 36. Are you sure you want to report fewer than 37?”
Gu Nian admitted honestly, “Forty-six.”
Duan Shen patted his butt, “I’ll indulge you.”
Gu Nian protested, “No, what are you indulging me for… I don’t need anything!”
“Enter with caution…” Duan Shen held Gu Nian’s earlobe, “Isn’t it what I’m going to do to you?”
