At 10:30 PM, Mu Zhengqing filled the bathtub and carried the cat, Mulu, over. Mulu, who had been docile in his arms, started struggling wildly as soon as he saw the water.
Mu Zhengqing accidentally let Mulu slip out of his grasp.
Then, Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei began a house-wide cat chase.
"Mulu, good boy, come here," they called.
"Mulu, come to daddy," they pleaded.
...
It wasn't until the viewers in the live stream had watched half an hour of the cat-chasing spectacle that Lu Yiwei finally caught the darting Mulu.
"Ah, this is the trouble with having a big house," Mu Zhengqing sighed, panting as he flopped onto the couch.
This half hour was more tiring than two hours of his usual exercise. His hands and legs now feel like they're filled with lead. He can barely move them. In contrast, Lu Yiwei, apart from being a little sweaty, his hands that were petting the cat were completely unaffected. Ah, he also really wants to enjoy the massage from those hands.
"You rest for a bit, I'll take it to bathe," Lu Yiwei said, holding Mulu.
"Let's go together.” Mu Zhengqing was afraid that Mulu would see the water and run around again, so he followed into the bathroom.
Seeing Mu Zhengqing follow in, Lu Yiwei didn't say anything, but just went out and got a stool for him.
Mulu, whether it was because it was tired from running or because it knew it had to take a bath today, didn't resist as much as before.
However, it's unclear if it was in retaliation for Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei chasing it around earlier, but as soon as it got wet, it started shaking its fur non-stop.
Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei were both soaked by the cat in the bathroom.
To divert the cat's attention, Mu Zhengqing had to distract it with a toy while Lu Yiwei took advantage of the opportunity to give it a bath. While playing with the cat, Mu Zhengqing kept glancing at Lu Yiwei.
Initially, he was observing how Lu Yiwei bathed the cat. After all, once the variety show finished recording, he would be returning to his own home, and he would have to bathe the cat alone then. However, his attention quickly shifted from the cat to Lu Yiwei.
Due to the water, Lu Yiwei's styled bangs fell down. He instantly transformed from President Lu to Senior Lu.
He remembered something Gu Da had said before: if he divorced Lu Yiwei, it would be very difficult to find someone like him again.
After spending these few days with Lu Yiwei, Mu Zhengqing just wanted to say that it was more than just difficult.
There are many handsome people, many rich people, many morally upright people, many good cooks, many people who know how to massage, many people who love animals, and many people who take the initiative to do housework...
Although there are many people who possess each of these qualities individually, it's incredibly rare to find someone who has them all combined.
I wonder who will be lucky enough to end up with such a great guy like Lu Yiwei. Oh, it might very well be Liang Qi. As they say, life is fair. If one door closes, another opens somewhere else.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Lu Yiwei asked, somewhat puzzled as he noticed Mu Zhengqing staring at his face.
"No, no, are you done?" Mu Zhengqing looked away, feeling embarrassed. It was so embarrassing. It was the first time he had been so dumbfounded while looking at someone.
"I'm done. You're all wet, go take a shower. I'll take Mulu to the dryer," Lu Yiwei said as he picked up the soaking wet cat.
Hmm, Mu Zhengqing had only been looking at Lu Yiwei's face, but he just realised that Lu Yiwei's body was incredibly good. Although he himself had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, compared to Lu Yiwei, he fell a little short.
"Lu Yiwei is even more suited to the phrase 'slender in clothes, muscular when undressed'."
Having admired Lu Yiwei's physique, Mu Zhengqing had just stood up when a bathrobe appeared in front of him.
Before Lu Yiwei could speak, Mu Zhengqing said first, "I know, it's new, you haven't worn it." Having heard it so many times, he could answer before being asked.
After putting on the bathrobe, Mu Zhengqing said to Lu Yiwei, "Give me the cat."
Mu Zhengqing intended to hold Mulu while helping Lu Yiwei put on the bathrobe. Although both of them were fully clothed, their clothes were wet and clinging to their bodies, making them seem more revealing than being naked.
Fortunately, Lu Yiwei reminded him that if he went out like this, it was questionable whether the livestream could be kept going.
"No need," Lu Yiwei said.
Mu Zhengqing thought that Lu Yiwei didn't want to give him Mulu because he didn't intend to wear the bathrobe.
Although he felt that this was not quite right, such a good figure should indeed be shown to the vast number of netizens, so he didn't say anything more.
Especially when he thought about how Liang Qi must be watching their livestream at all times, he wondered if perhaps Lu Yiwei was deliberately trying to show off for a specific person.
However, Mu Zhengqing quickly realised he was overthinking things. The reason Lu Yiwei didn't give him Mulu was that he could easily put on the bathrobe with just one hand.
After leaving the bathroom, Mu Zhengqing went back to the bedroom to shower while Lu Yiwei took Mulu to dry it.
Because he was worried about Lu Yiwei being uncomfortable in wet clothes, Mu Zhengqing rushed out without even drying his hair.
"Dry your hair before coming out," Lu Yiwei frowned as he saw Mu Zhengqing with wet hair.
Although the air conditioner was on, he was worried that Mu Zhengqing would catch a cold after getting his clothes wet and then not drying his hair.
"No need, you go take a shower quickly. I'll watch Mulu dry," Mu Zhengqing said as he walked over to Lu Yiwei.
"Sit down and don't move," Lu Yiwei instructed Mu Zhengqing before returning to the bedroom.
Mu Zhengqing thought that Lu Yiwei had gone back to take a shower, but to his surprise, he returned less than a minute later, holding a hairdryer.
"I'll do it myself," Mu Zhengqing quickly said when he saw that Lu Yiwei was going to dry his hair for him.
"Don't move, I just want to compare which is faster, the dryer or the hair dryer," Lu Yiwei said, pressing down on Mu Zhengqing's head.
Since Lu Yiwei said so, Mu Zhengqing could only sit obediently and let Lu Yiwei dry his hair for him.
No, it was more like using him to test the hairdryer's effectiveness.
Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei fans: We know you both love the "Mulu" so much, and while practice is the only way to test the truth, the hairdryer is no match for the dryer, okay? If you really don't know which one is better, you can search online.
Lu Yiwei: You guys aren't shipping this heartwarming scene, you're as bad as the paparazzi.
After everything was tidied up, Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei encountered a new problem when it was time to sleep. Mulu was too clingy. As soon as it couldn't see them, it started making a fuss.
"The 'Mulu' can sleep with me tonight." Mu Zhengqing held the seemingly insecure Mulu with a heartbroken expression. "If it weren't for the cameras and Lu Yiwei, I would have taken Mulu back to the bedroom to sleep a long time ago," he said.
It really was his treasure, giving him a legitimate reason to take it back to the bedroom. He had been wanting to bury his head in the freshly washed Mulu for a long time, but he just hadn't found the opportunity.
Just as he picked up Mulu, Lu Yiwei appeared like a spoilsport.
"Let Mulu sleep with me first tonight," Lu Yiwei said, sounding a little worried.
The reason he wanted Mulu to sleep with him wasn't because he was jealous, but because he was worried that Mulu would disturb Mu Zhengqing's sleep at night.
The two of them argued for a long time about who Mulu would sleep with tonight, and finally, they decided to let 'Mulu' choose.
