When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time

In a few seconds of Yin Moshu’s dazed pause, the person in front of him caught up.

 

Similarly, the cage began to sound the countdown of “tick tock tick”.

 

The hearts of several guests in the fence rose.

 

“Husband!”

 

“[beep] you! If you don’t come over, you’re done!!!”

 

The sound became even more piercing and hoarse, and amidst the increasingly loud and urgent beeping, Gu Jinmian’s heart was driven into a panic. He was overwhelmed by fear and helplessness, murmuring incomprehensible words.

 

Du Bai’an: “Only 40 seconds left!”

 

Bai Xinyu: “Yin Moshu, hurry up!”

 

Yin Moshu, trying to run, was stopped by Ji Nan grabbing his arm. “You can’t go!”

 

As they raced through several checkpoints, the pursuit intensified. The adrenaline surged in several people, making them excited and impulsive. The emotions inside were magnified, and a slightly crazed expression appeared on Ji Nan’s face.

 

This was far from being a match for Yin Moshu.

 

He cast a dark gaze at Ji Nan.

 

Ji Nan’s heart trembled under his intense scrutiny, it was as if he were looking at an entity that shouldn’t exist in this world.

 

Suddenly, a cold smirk played on Yin Moshu’s lips.

 

He twisted his hand to break free from Ji Nan’s grip on his arm, pressing down on Ji Nan’s shoulder. With a sharp “crack,” he folded Ji Nan’s arm. Before Ji Nan could scream, Yin Moshu turned around and delivered a spinning kick.

 

Just like when Gu Jinmian kicked Yin Chengzhi, Yin Moshu aimed for Ji Nan’s face with the same precision. However, he exerted much more force than Gu Jinmian, kicking Ji Nan straight into the river.

 

No one expected him to be so ruthless. Ji Nan fell into the river, and the water’s surface was stained with vivid red blood.

 

The other male guests were stunned, hesitating to charge forward.

 

“Only 20 seconds left!”

 

“Ahhhh!”

 

“They’re about to come out, release me quickly!”

 

The beeping on the cage intensified, becoming more urgent and dense, accompanied by restless sounds from the animals inside.

 

Gu Jinmian’s palms were moist with a thin layer of sweat as he clung tightly to the bars.

 

Yin Moshu pursed his lips and immediately sprinted towards her.

 

Rays of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, and the day began to brighten.

 

Yin Moshu’s lips remained straight, his jawline tense, and the moisture on his face had not yet dissipated.

 

Gu Jinmian’s heart, like the droplets on his nose, fluttered and trembled, on the verge of collapsing.

 

“Beep—”

 

“Time’s up!”

 

“Woof woof!”

 

“Yin Moshu!”

 

Without bending down, Yin Moshu reached over and grabbed Gu Jinmian’s waist, lifting him out of the fence. Immediately, he turned and kicked open the enclosures on both sides.

 

The moment Gu Jinmian was in Yin Moshu’s arms, his heart, which had been tightly locked, gradually relaxed amid the cries and screams.

 

He looked down at Yin Moshu.

 

Yin Moshu lifted his head and smiled at him.

 

His hair was damp, the style disheveled, with strands falling casually over his forehead. There was no obstruction to his features, bold and dazzling.

 

Gu Jinmian stared at him, and as the hand around his waist relaxed, he descended slightly. Yin Moshu tilted his head slightly and kissed him.

 

His lips were slightly moist, causing a shiver to run down Gu Jinmian’s spine. Then, that cool sensation was crushed between their lips.

 

Gu Jinmian hesitated for a moment, and the cheers around him surged and then suddenly vanished. Unsure if it was the effect of adrenaline, he suddenly cupped Yin Moshu’s face and kissed him.

 

In the heat of the moment, he couldn’t recall the techniques he had learned online, but he knew she had to pry open Yin Moshu’s lips.

 

Yin Moshu’s body stiffened, his Adam’s apple bobbing. After holding him for a few seconds, he bit down fiercely.

 

The cages in the enclosure indeed opened, and the animals rushed forward. However, just two meters from the opening, a net suddenly shot up, blocking their way.

 

The production team didn’t dare to let the animals get too close, just creating an atmosphere that was enough to evoke fear and determination.

 

The guests were in various states of shock. One female guest ran into her boyfriend’s arms and started crying, while some boyfriends took the initiative to comfort their female counterparts. And then there were those who had already taken their relationships a step further.

 

The details were a bit blurry for them, but the tense jawline of Yin Moshu and the flushed right cheek of Gu Jinmian were visible enough to make many young faces turn red.

 

In any case, they achieved the desired effect.

 

But there was still a big problem.

 

The program staff were helping Ji Nan out of the water.

 

Ji Nan covered his nose, his face looking unbearable.

 

Even the staff felt sympathy, his nose had been hit by Gu Jinmian earlier and now kicked by Yin Moshu. They hoped there were no serious issues.

 

The chief director, Cheng Chong, sighed. His concerns had indeed materialized. Well, there was no choice but to bravely go up and say something soothing.

 

At first, he was extremely worried when Ji Nan said he wouldn’t continue filming, and now he couldn’t articulate whether he still wanted to proceed.

 

Would continuing filming lead to even scarier situations?

 

Well, Yin Moshu and Gu Jinmian had already brought enough heat to the show. The response to this pair was mediocre, and not many people were interested in their storyline.

 

The director began to waver.

 

When Ji Nan came up and saw Yin Moshu and Gu Jinmian hugging, he was so furious that smoke seemed to come out of his seven orifices. “Bring Yin Moshu over for me to apologize!”

 

The director was in a predicament.

 

Yin Moshu didn’t seem like the kind of person who would apologize.

 

Blood flowed from Ji Nan’s nose. “Are you trying to protect him? Is it right to hit someone during the competition?”

 

Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu came up, while Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an were excitedly talking with them.

 

The director reluctantly had them come over.

 

Gu Jinmian sneered when he heard Ji Nan demanding an apology from Yin Moshu. “Can’t you handle it? Apologize? Dream on!”

 

“You think it’s justified to hit someone?” Ji Nan, who had been provoked the entire day, erupted in the biggest anger of his life. He stood up and declared, “If he doesn’t apologize, this matter won’t end. He not only has to apologize to my face but also publicly on Weibo.”

 

Gu Jinmian burst into laughter, ready to argue with him, but Yin Moshu held him back.

 

He said, “Agreed.”

 

Gu Jinmian looked at Yin Moshu in surprise.

 

Even Ji Nan didn’t expect Yin Moshu to agree, and he looked at him with suspicion.

 

“But before that, you need to apologize first in person for what you did to Mian Mian back then. Then, you should post a detailed apology on Weibo, along with Hang Yuanting.”

 

“And, you should apologize on Weibo again for playing games without following the rules and using dirty tricks behind the scenes.”

 

“You!” Ji Nan was left speechless.

 

Yin Moshu sneered, “You don’t dare. You don’t even dare to break up with Hang Yuanting.”

 

Du Bai’an asked Bai Xinyu in a hushed voice, “Why doesn’t he dare?”

 

Bai Xinyu explained not so quietly, “As a high-level executive of the Ji Chang Group, breaking up with a well-known artist in less than a month could affect Ji Chang’s stock price. Choosing a mutually beneficial path is better than breaking the rules and using dirty tricks, which would complicate matters far beyond stock prices.”

 

“If Ji Chang’s image and stock price are affected, it would put him in a very unfavorable position within the Ji family and Ji Chang Group.”

 

Du Bai’an nodded, indicating that he understood.

 

Now, he believed even more that Hang Yuanting deliberately made their relationship public. This move could truly help him firmly grasp Ji Nan and force him into marriage.

 

Bai Xinyu’s voice was not soft, and many people heard it.

 

Ji Nan’s expression was extremely unpleasant.

 

Yin Moshu sneered, “Before you wield real power, the concept of ‘social status matches’ you talk about is just a shackle.”

 

“And what about you? Do you believe I can’t ban you?”

 

“Me?” Yin Moshu leaned closer to Gu Jinmian. “I have a soft rice to eat.”

 

“…”

 

Gu Jinmian, still a bit puzzled, immediately raised her head proudly. “Back then, we didn’t ban Hang Yuanting. If you were to ban Yin Moshu, wouldn’t it be a huge loss of face for our Gu family?”

 

“…”

 

Ji Nan was breathing heavily and said to Yin Moshu, “Just you wait!”

 

Gu Jinmian retorted, “You can say such childish lines of a second-rate antagonist?”

 

The staff hurriedly escorted Ji Nan to the medical personnel. They were concerned that if he wasn’t taken away now, the doctor would have more than just the injuries on his face to attend to later.

 

Despite the director repeatedly emphasizing the need for confidentiality, the staff had all signed nondisclosure agreements, and they naturally wouldn’t casually leak information. However, they couldn’t control the onlookers.

 

That evening, hashtags like #Hang Yuanting and Yin Moshu Don’t Get Along#, #Four Seasons Program Unexpected Incident#, #The True Relationship between Gu Jinmian and Ji Nan# started appearing online.

 

To counter these discussions, the program team released a sweet teaser in advance.

 

In the teaser, Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu were shown in the most luxurious villa prepared by the program team, enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner as the winners of the afternoon competition.

 

Originally romantic, atop the rooftop garden, surrounded by the scent of flowers, under the starry sky—

 

Two birds came to freeload and enjoyed their meal heartily.

 

Gu Jinmian gave them a disdainful glance and picked up her phone to watch the teaser that the program team had hastily edited.

 

It was the segment where he and Yin Moshu were “asking out of the car.”

 

The program team added a robotic female voice, “Do you think asking out the car is difficult?”

 

In the video, Yin Moshu hadn’t reached her yet, but Gu Jinmian felt like she had come from the car herself. Her eyes sparkled as she ran to Yin Moshu.

 

The editor even added an arrow pointing at Gu Jinmian’s head with the caption: “Can’t wait.”

 

[Hahaha, the title “clingy spirit” is well-deserved.]

 

[Little Sweet Pea: Move aside, I’m running towards my husband!]

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Robotic female voice: “Do you think he, who appears aloof, won’t say sweet words?”

 

In the video, Gu Jinmian said, “I am his little sunshine.”

 

“And he is my sunshine, shining brightly at the center of my world.”

 

[Ah, my young master is so good at talking.]

 

[He’s really too sweet!]

 

[What kind of cute love is this? Look, his ears are even red. He’s too embarrassed to look at Yin Moshu, pretending to bravely glance at him, making it seem like a provocation.]

 

[This person is truly deep in love, and it’s a disastrous kind!]

 

Gu Jinmian: “?”

 

Where did his ears turn red?

 

Gu Jinmian leaned in for a closer look and got a shock, they were indeed red.

 

Gu Jinmian looked completely bewildered. Why was he so theatrical?

 

The video continued, and the robotic female voice said, “Do you think Yin Moshu feels the same way?”

 

Bai Xinyu’s words in the video were edited, “Moshu deliberately chose a sunflower-shaped Teddy Bear. Does it mean he wants to convey that you are like a little Teddy Bear?”

 

Yin Moshu replied, “It’s not entirely unrelated.”

 

[Hahahaha!]

 

[For those who know nothing about ‘intimacy’, can someone explain the characteristics of Teddy ‘intimacy’?]

 

[“Intimacy’ is like the sun in love. Haven’t you heard the young master saying he’s Yin Moshu’s little sun?]

 

[Loving the sun, hahaha, so cute.]

 

[Hahaha, release the full episode quickly. I can’t wait to watch it!]

 

[Young Master’s face turns yellow.]

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

He didn’t expect the most popular thing to be the CP fanart of him and Yin Moshu. Someone quickly created an image.

 

In the image, a sitting little Gu Jinmian sprouted from the Teddy sunflower. Little Gu Jinmian had big eyes, two drooping dog ears on his head, and a dog tail.

 

A playful and silly love.

 

In the comments section, besides “hahaha,” there were also a lot of “ah ah ah.”

 

Gu Jinmian felt something was off. The little Gu Jinmian on the flower clearly wasn’t a cartoon version of him as an adult but rather of him as a child.

 

He knew who had pictures of him as a child.

 

Netizens soon realized it too and quickly exposed that it was Shi Yi’s alternate account.

 

The “hahaha” became even more boisterous.

 

The hashtag #TeddyLittleSun# had already surged to the forefront of the trending topics.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Without any attachment, he moved his eyes away from the phone and happened to see Yin Moshu saving that image.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…?”

 

Bai Xinyu was covering his mouth, laughing, “Home, why are you so lovely.”

 

“Your mouth can’t be stopped even by lobsters, huh?” Gu Jinmian kicked him, “Whose fault is this? If it weren’t for your words, would I be trending?”

 

“No need to thank me, trending means hundreds of thousands of views.” Bai Xinyu said with a smile.

 

Gu Jinmian: “???”

 

“Finish eating and scram!”

 

“Scram, scram, scram, scram immediately, don’t disturb your romantic candlelit dinner.” Bai Xinyu stuffed the last piece of lobster into his mouth and pulled Du Bai’an away.

 

Before leaving, he whispered teasingly in Gu Jinmian’s ear, “Didn’t expect Home to have the trend-setting quality. If they edited the kiss between you and Yin Moshu, would it explode?”

 

Gu Jinmian’s eyes widened slightly, deliberately trying to forget the image that came rushing back to his mind.

 

When Yin Moshu kissed him, it should have been just for the show’s effect. However, he didn’t know what had clouded his judgment; not only did he kiss, but he also daringly licked.

 

The feeling of it came rushing back—the bright sunlight, moist lips, the scalding breath, and the force pressing him down on his spine.

 

And a dizzy brain.

 

Gu Jinmian hadn’t moved his knife and fork for a long time.

 

“Eat quickly, and then rest early,” Yin Moshu said.

 

Fortunately, he didn’t bring up anything to embarrass him further, whether it was the kiss or the trending topic. He calmly ate his meal, allowing Gu Jinmian to gradually regain his composure.

 

Gu Jinmian nodded and, with a glance at Yin Moshu’s calm expression, breathed a sigh of relief and started eating.

 

Gu Jinmian thought to himself: Yin Moshu is quite considerate.

 

Swallowing the chewed food in his mouth, he looked up at Gu Jinmian. Running his fingertips over the fork, Yin Moshu continued eating.

 

The room prepared by the program team naturally had one bed for them to share.

 

They had slept together before, and Gu Jinmian had even invited Yin Moshu to share a bed. However, this time, Gu Jinmian felt a bit uneasy about it.

 

By the time they finished eating and washing up, it was already quite late into the night.

 

Two normal adults, lying in bed together late at night—wouldn’t that be a problem?

 

After finishing washing up, Yin Moshu saw Gu Jinmian sitting upright on the sofa, raising an eyebrow slightly.

 

Gu Jinmian met his gaze, wondering if Yin Moshu was also thinking that this might be a problem. Should they discuss how to sleep?

 

Yin Moshu approached and pulled him up from the sofa.

 

Gu Jinmian looked at him in confusion.

 

Yin Moshu simply brought him to the bed, pushed him down, leaned forward and kissed him.

 

Gu Jinmian’s eyes widened.

 

Isn’t this…this too straightforward?

 

With that thought, he still opened his mouth.

 

Yin Moshu bit his lip lightly and asked, “Do you remember what you said in the enclosure?”

 

Gu Jinmian blinked his moist eyes, his lips vividly red, and his voice slightly husky. “What?”

 

Yin Moshu’s laughter resonated in the night, sounding deep and pleasant, capturing Gu Jinmian’s attention.

 

Mimicking Gu Jinmian’s tone, he said, “Husband, go for it.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Gu Jinmian was almost sent away by this sentence, and the departure method was self-combustion due to high temperature.

 

“Still uncomfortable?” Yin Moshu asked with a smile.

 

With self-combustion out of the way, what else could make him uncomfortable? Gu Jinmian, from a bizarre perspective, pondered what “once the waters were difficult to traverse”.

 

Is it a matter for adults sleeping in the same bed?

 

He sprawled on the bed in a dead-fish-like manner.

 

Yin Moshu’s laughter became even more hearty. “I don’t mind if you call me husband.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

He really was influenced by the female guests on both sides, unintentionally calling out like that!

 

The teaser trailer from the production team managed to suppress online discussions about the recording that day. People online were savoring the sweetness and urging the production team to release the full episode soon.

 

However, those who paid close attention still found out what had happened that day.

 

People with common goals often become temporary friends.

 

The full episode might not be released that quickly, but the live broadcast was on.

 

After two weeks of shooting, the program had a live broadcast session, this time with all five participants going live together.

 

Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu had the highest viewership, even though this time it was only Gu Jinmian going live.

 

“He’s not here yet for filming, so this time I’ll take everyone to see my home.”

 

The theme of this episode was “home,” which was why the director dared to let Gu Jinmian do a solo live broadcast. Who wouldn’t want to see what Gu’s home looks like?

 

As expected, the audience was excited. However, while other live broadcasts featured both parties’ homes, here, there was only Gu Jinmian, leaving the viewers a bit puzzled.

 

[Why isn’t Yin Moshu here? Is he really unable to come due to filming?]

 

[Even if he’s filming, he could take leave, right? Is he deliberately avoiding coming?]

 

[Haven’t you seen the leaks about Yin Moshu? He probably doesn’t want to take Gu Jinmian to his Yin family at all.]

 

[In that case, what about the Gu family? Why isn’t he coming to the Gu family? Could it be that the Gu family doesn’t really accept Yin Moshu?]

 

The online discussions were buzzing with curiosity and speculation about Yin Moshu’s absence and the dynamics between Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu.

 

[Not coming could also be due to inferiority.]

 

Seeing the comments, Gu Jinmian furrowed his brows.

 

“He’s really filming a movie, ‘Twenty-Year-Old Grandpa.’ You can check his schedule publicly.”

 

“Half of ‘Snow’ is supposed to be filmed in a heavy snowfall in December. He didn’t plan to take on any variety shows at all. This is already an exception.”

 

This explanation was the primary reason. Of course, not wanting to do a live broadcast at the Yin family was also one of the reasons.

 

[I’ve seen the previous episode; ‘Twenty-Year-Old Grandpa’ is also invested in by Gu Jinmian. All the movies he’s filmed are invested in by Gu Jinmian.]

 

[Isn’t he popular because of Lin Qi? Gu Jinmian helped him secure roles. The character setting is attractive, anyone playing it could become popular.]

 

[Really? Do you guys think they’re in an equal relationship?]

 

[Ah, the way they speak, there’s a bit of a gap.]

 

[It won’t last long.]

 

The cameramen noticed that Gu Jinmian wasn’t happy.

 

The cheerful members of the production team had their brows slightly furrowed, and the cat-like lips lost their smiling curve.

 

They were afraid that Gu Jinmian would treat the audience the way Ji Nan did, and the young master would scold them directly during the live broadcast.

 

Fortunately, as they arrived at the Gu family mansion, more viewers were attracted by the Gu family’s luxurious mansion.

 

The car entered the large area and unexpectedly stayed in the forest for several minutes.

 

[Am I crazy? Is this the prime real estate in S City? Not the outskirts of some 18th-tier small city?]

 

[Look at that, there are even birds flying in the sky above the lake!]

 

[Did I just see a black peacock?]

 

After a lively discussion on the barrage for a while, the audience suddenly realized that Gu Jinyin had been silent for a while.

 

[What’s wrong with the young master?]

 

[Why isn’t he speaking?]

 

Gu Jinmian snorted, “You’re talking bad about my boyfriend on my turf, and you expect me to be in a good mood?”

 

[……]

 

[Haha, it’s confirmed. The Little Sweet Bean is a crazy protector of his husband.]

 

[Quickly come out for the young master, and apologize!]

 

[Let me copy and paste rainbow farts from Yin Moshu super topic. Let’s blow up the rainbow farts.]

 

On the barrage appeared a rainbow fart of Yin Moshu. Gu Jinyin’s face finally improved, and he was willing to speak, “Let’s start with my little villa first. I have my most little loves there.”

 

[What, you secretly raised a ‘most little love there’? Does Yin Moshu know about this?]

 

[Is it the little Teddy?]

 

Gu Jinyin: “…”

 

On the road five kilometers away, a low-profile car was heading towards the Gu mansion.

 

Inside the car, Yin Moshu saw the speechless and stunned Gu Jinmian in the live broadcast and smiled.

 

The cameraman was impressed. Those bullet comments just now, even a man wouldn’t feel comfortable seeing them. Yet, Yin Moshu could still smile like this. It showed how powerful his heart and confidence were.

 

He said cautiously, “Young Master will be even happier after seeing Teacher Yin. What a big surprise.”

 

Yin Moshu clicked on his phone, not revealing where he clicked. “Perhaps it’d be more of a shock.”
