He Caught Me Searching His Dating History……Then Said I Was His First Love

Ning Shixue’s face burned fiercely.

But his script was still in Xie Zhaozhou’s hands.
He couldn’t just leave, so he went around to the other side of the car and waited nearby.

Xie Zhaozhou, however, followed him.

“…Aren’t you supposed to be supporting the family?”
Ning Shixue glared at him with red cheeks.
“Why are you following me?”

Was the Xie Group about to go bankrupt?
Why wasn’t he at work?

If it was going bankrupt, he should know immediately.
He would take the kid and run away right now.
Anyway, he had already received his pay from the show.

Xie Zhaozhou’s posture was lazy.
His narrow, dark eyes were still curved.
His tone was plaintive yet righteous and self-assured.
“If I leave now, what if Teacher Ning thinks my service wasn’t thorough and doesn’t want to hire me again in the future? How will I support the family then?”

After saying this, before Ning Shixue could speak, Xie Zhaozhou continued slowly,
“My wife at home is quite delicate, and she’s very fierce with me. I need to earn a bit more money.”

Ning Shixue: “…”

I’m jealous of myself.

Even counting his past life, Ning Shixue’s skin had never been this thick.

Xie Zhaozhou’s eye sockets were deep.
In the night on the set, the light reflected in the depths of his dark eyes.
He looked at Ning Shixue gently and intently.
Ning Shixue couldn’t help the tips of his ears burning.

And he felt inexplicably guilty.

As if he had actually done something unforgivable to Xie Zhaozhou.

Xie Zhaozhou still hadn’t let him off.
Staring at his flushed cheeks, he lowered his voice, like a considerate lover, and asked,
“If I’m with you tonight, your husband won’t get jealous, will he?”

Ning Shixue: “…”

Help, he simply couldn’t control his murderous intent.

But before he could curse, Xie Zhaozhou had already marked the emphasis on his lines in the script.
Then he handed it to him and suddenly said quietly,
“I think he probably would.”

Ning Shixue didn’t understand at first.

He took it and looked.
He realized it was indeed much clearer.
Taking the script, his hand felt soft.
The tips of his pale ears were still red as he said, stifled,
“…Thank you, Second Brother.”

But as soon as he thanked him, meeting Xie Zhaozhou’s smiling gaze, he felt something was off.

Ning Shixue lowered his eyes and glanced at the script.

“…”

The script was deliberately opened to the night the Demon Lord married the Immortal Lord.
Red silk curtains, warm wedding chamber.
He didn’t have to film a bed scene.
But even without filming, that scene was suggestive enough.

Ning Shixue’s face was bright red.
His heart pounded in his chest.
His head was buzzing.

He couldn’t tell what Xie Zhaozhou meant by ‘jealous.’

With so many flirtatious words, half-truths, half-false, did he really just want to say that to him?

He was still wearing the demon clan makeup.
His pupils were deep red like blood.
It should have been a bit scary.
But now, they were full of moisture, too embarrassed, like they held tears.

Xie Zhaozhou couldn’t help touching the small black horn on top of his head.
Even though it wasn’t really attached to him, Ning Shixue’s back instantly tensed, a tingle running down to his tailbone.

The tips of Ning Shixue’s ears suddenly burned.
He pushed him away hard, and said in a small, annoyed voice,
“Get lost!”

Just then, a crew member came over to say the director was calling him.
Ning Shixue quickly left this place of trouble.

Xie Zhaozhou also walked over to the set.

Xie Yaoyao had only just realized it wasn’t a big black wolf, but Big Daddy.
His fair, tender cheeks were still streaked with tears.
His eyes were red.
He pattered over and hugged Xie Zhaozhou’s leg.

“What is it?”
Xie Zhaozhou asked, looking down with a cold expression.

Wuwuwu.

Xie Yaoyao pointed in the direction Ning Shixue had gone, his milky voice full of grievance.
“The baby was taken by the rabbit monster.”

Why wasn’t Big Daddy going to save the baby?
And Big Daddy had just been talking to the rabbit monster.

Xie Yaoyao ran off.
The old butler quickly pulled Ji Xiao and followed.
Holding Xie Yaoyao, he said, amused despite himself,
“That was your baby just now. There’s no rabbit monster.”

Xie Yaoyao’s little face was full of grievance.
There clearly was.
This place was full of monsters.

He Lin called Ning Shixue over and decided to have him film a scene in the demon realm first.
It also had almost no lines.
It was just Yu Li becoming the Demon Lord and being worshipped by everyone in the demon realm.

Xie Yaoyao and the others were also called over.

“Yaoyao didi, Little Tangyuan!”
He Miao ran over to them enthusiastically.

She didn’t forget to ask,
“Is Little Ning Gege not here?”

She also had small horns on her head and was draped in a little black demon clan cloak.
Her face was even slightly made up.

Xie Yaoyao’s soft, white, chubby face was quite blank.
He scratched his cheek.
His eyes were still red, but he wasn’t crying anymore.
Because he was completely confused.
Why was it like this?

He had never seen so many monsters in his life.

He Miao had finished dinner at home in the evening.
Only then did Grandpa He have the driver bring her to the set.

Actually, He Lin had thought about it before.
He and Shen Yi would probably just stay like this.
He could rein himself in.
But he couldn’t force Shen Yi.
In this matter, he couldn’t do anything for He Miao.

But if he was filming in Yan City, he could actually bring He Miao to the set.
When she wasn’t in kindergarten, he could spend more time with her.

This way, He Miao would spend more time with him.
At least she would have a reliable father.

“Do you want to act in a scene?”
He Lin walked over, crouched down, and asked Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao.

Xie Yaoyao blinked his big eyes a few times and said nothing.
Ji Xiao didn’t dare speak either.
In the end, He Lin looked up and met Xie Zhaozhou’s eyes.
Knowing Xie Zhaozhou had no objection, he had the makeup artist do simple makeup for Xie Yaoyao and the others.

The three little ones would play little demon realm monsters.
When Ning Shixue was filming, they would lie down below with the other demons.

Ning Shixue had just finished filming his scene when he saw them.

After the makeup was done, Xie Yaoyao touched his head.
Wrapped in his little black cloak, he fluttered around like a little fat butterfly.
He pounced and hugged Ning Shixue’s leg.
His soft cheek rubbed against Ning Shixue’s leg as he said excitedly in his milky voice,
“Baby, I have horns too!”

“Yes,”
Ning Shixue said, flicking his little horn with his finger, his vengefulness rising.
“You’re Jumping Dragon.”

Xie Yaoyao pouted.

He wasn’t Jumping Dragon.
He was the Great Demon King.

Ji Xiao also raised his hand and touched his own little horn.
His eyes sparkled.

Ning Shixue went to film.
Xie Yaoyao and the others were taken aside by a staff member.

Xie Yaoyao stuck out his little bottom and lay on the mat.
Besides him, He Miao, and Ji Xiao, there were a few other children lying beside them.
Xie Yaoyao covered his eyes with his chubby little hands, spreading his short, pale fingers apart, and peeked at them.

So the baby was the real Great Demon King.
Were these little monsters all the baby’s little henchmen?

“You can’t talk later,”
He Lin told them.
“And you can’t move around.”

If they could hold still for two or three minutes, this scene would be a wrap.

He Miao had acted before and knew what to do.
Surprisingly, Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao also didn’t move.
Xie Yaoyao’s little head couldn’t help lifting once.
But he didn’t stand up, so it wasn’t a big problem.

After filming this scene, they could finally rest.

It was already past eight in the evening.
Ning Shixue went to eat dinner.
Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao should go to sleep.
There were no more scenes for them later.
Xie Zhaozhou had the old butler take them home first.

Xie Yaoyao didn’t want to leave at first.
But his little head was nodding with sleep.
He was still carried into the car by the butler grandpa.

While eating, Ning Shixue scrolled through his phone.
Tang He’an had created a group and pulled them all in.

Of course, except for Xie Zhaozhou.

The Ji Qing matter was still in an uproar and hadn’t settled down.
The police had already contacted a few distant relatives of the Ji family.
But their attitudes were very evasive.

Those who already had children weren’t willing to raise another one.
Besides, this clearly seemed like trouble.

Aside from relatives, there were many people who wanted to adopt Ji Xiao.
Most of them had watched the show and felt sorry for Ji Xiao.
They wanted to adopt him.
As for whether they were reliable, it was hard to say.

Some genuinely wanted to raise him but hadn’t thought it through enough.
Others might be just like Chen Yong.

They only thought there was profit to be made.

Tang He’an had been dealing with these people in his spare time.
After he finished questioning them, he passed them on to Ning Shixue.

Ning Shixue’s attitude was much colder.
He first asked them what they thought about hyperthymesia.
Actually, he didn’t know enough about it either.
But if their words made him uncomfortable, he refused.

Then, he would directly ask them if they were prepared for the possibility that this child might die before them.

Hyperthymesia didn’t affect lifespan.
But with memory overload and nightmares, many people found it painful.
It wasn’t unheard of for people in their twenties or thirties to commit suicide because they couldn’t bear the pain.

When Ning Shixue asked this, almost everyone backed off.
Tang He’an couldn’t say something so blunt.
But he had to admit Ning Shixue was right to ask.

If they couldn’t accept it, forget it.
Otherwise, it would only lead to resentment later.

Of course, they couldn’t make the decision.
They could only let those who still insisted on adopting Ji Xiao go to the police.

Xie Zhaozhou didn’t mean to play daddy.
But Ning Shixue’s health was too poor.
He didn’t know how to take care of himself at all.
He held back, then still reached out and took Ning Shixue’s phone.
“Look at it after you eat.”

Ning Shixue obediently let go.

At nine in the evening, he had to film another wedding scene.
After eating, Ning Shixue wanted to lie on the sofa and sleep for a while.
But as soon as he lay down, his stomach suddenly churned.

Ning Shixue couldn’t help it and rushed to the bathroom to vomit.

“What’s wrong?”
Xie Zhaozhou got up and followed him, patting his back.

“…”
Ning Shixue’s complexion was pale.
His back was covered in cold sweat.
The corners of his eyes were completely red.
His long, dark eyelashes were wet.
He said, embarrassed, in a small voice,
“It’s too dirty. Don’t come near me.”

Xie Zhaozhou ignored what he said.
He went to get him a cup of water to rinse his mouth.
Then, seeing he didn’t want to vomit anymore, he helped him to the sofa outside.
“Still feel bad?”

Ning Shixue lay listlessly.
He shook his head slightly.
But his hand was still pressed against his stomach.

Actually, the hospital couldn’t find anything wrong.
But there wasn’t a single day he felt completely comfortable.

Ning Shixue thought, even if Xie Zhaozhou hadn’t killed the original host in the book, the original host probably wouldn’t have lived long either.

“Stomach ache?”
Xie Zhaozhou sat down beside him.

Ning Shixue shook his head again.

It wasn’t really pain.
It was just uncomfortable.

Xie Zhaozhou’s red lips curved slightly.
He asked quietly,
“Want me to rub it for you?”

Ning Shixue didn’t have the strength to be angry with him anymore.
But Xie Zhaozhou didn’t seem to be teasing him either.
He didn’t refuse.
Xie Zhaozhou lifted his blanket a little.

He didn’t lift his clothes.
Just through the thin layer of fabric, he rubbed his palm warmly over Ning Shixue’s stomach.

Ning Shixue’s fingertips curled.
He grabbed a few of Xie Zhaozhou’s fingers.
Then let go.

Xie Zhaozhou raised his other hand and touched his forehead and cheek.
“Feels a bit warm. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“…I’m fine.”
Ning Shixue’s forehead was a bit warm, but it didn’t feel like a fever.
He grabbed Xie Zhaozhou’s wrist and gently shook it a few times.
“Second Brother, don’t tell He Lin.”

He still wanted to stay in this production team.
What if He Lin thought he couldn’t act?

Xie Zhaozhou’s thin lips moved.
Shaken by him again, his heart softened.
In the end, he didn’t say anything.
He just gritted his teeth, held Ning Shixue’s hand, and said quietly,
“Stop acting cute with me.”

Ning Shixue looked up at him with pleading eyes.
He had broken out in a cold sweat.
His dark, disheveled hair stuck to his fair cheeks.
Xie Zhaozhou brushed it away with his thumb.
He couldn’t help pinching the tip of his thin chin.

When Ning Shixue’s stomach felt less uncomfortable, Xie Zhaozhou moved his hand away and covered him with the blanket.

Ning Shixue was always able to endure pain.
And these days, he had gotten used to this broken body.

He lay there for a while longer, then got up to change clothes.
The wedding clothes were very complicated.
He couldn’t put them on alone.
Xie Zhaozhou walked over, took the outer robe from his hand, helped him put it on, then gathered the front of the robe and, looking down, tied his belt for him.

“Do you need to wear this too?”
Xie Zhaozhou glanced at the bridal veil in his hand.

It was a red veil embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, with pearl tassels hanging down.
Ning Shixue was twisting it between his pale fingers.

Xie Zhaozhou knew very well that if Ning Shixue wanted to be an actor, he had to accept that he might film any kind of scene.

But the half-true, half-false jealousy now seemed to be more real.
His Adam’s apple moved involuntarily.

He hadn’t even married Ning Shixue yet.

He still couldn’t be sure exactly what was going on.
He also didn’t know how Ning Shixue had appeared, or where he came from.
But the one before definitely wasn’t the current Ning Shixue.

Ning Shixue grew even more guilty.
“Mm.”

Actually, filming a scene like this was perfectly normal.
But being watched by Xie Zhaozhou, Ning Shixue felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Xie Zhaozhou didn’t say anything flirtatious.
He took the veil from his hand and covered his face.

Most of Ning Shixue’s face was hidden.
He still had to go out.
Xie Zhaozhou lifted the veil and draped it over the top of his head.

Ning Shixue’s face was already beautiful and vivid.
His pupils were still deep red now.
Set off by the red veil, he looked even more eerily beautiful.
The pearl tassels swayed before his eyes, brushing against the tip of his nose.

Xie Zhaozhou went with him to the set.
When they arrived, he lowered his dark eyes and said softly,
“I’ll be right here waiting for Teacher Ning. Teacher Ning won’t forget about me tonight, will he?”

Ning Shixue: “…”

This made him sound like a scumbag who abandoned his lover.

Ning Shixue held back, rubbed his burning ears, ignored him, and went straight to film.

He went to act.
Xie Zhaozhou stayed behind the monitor with He Lin.
He Lin was still revising the script.
Xie Zhaozhou glanced over.
He Lin couldn’t help being sarcastic.
“What’s there to look at in this crappy script? Wait until I add a bed scene for Teacher Ning, then you can look.”

Xie Zhaozhou: “…”

Xie Zhaozhou gave him a cold glare.

He Lin didn’t actually intend to add a bed scene for Ning Shixue.
But seeing Xie Zhaozhou unhappy, he felt very satisfied.

This scene was filmed in less than half an hour.
Ning Shixue went to take promotional photos in the wedding clothes.
When he finally finished work, it was past midnight.
Xie Zhaozhou was on the phone by the car.
He walked over.
Xie Zhaozhou just hung up and opened the car door for him.

Xie Zhaozhou had just called Song Li, telling him to go to the Ning residence tomorrow and get all of Ning Shixue’s medical records.

Ning Shixue’s cheeks were still a bit pale.
As soon as he got in the car, he wrapped himself in a blanket and slept.
He didn’t wake up until they got home.
He reluctantly managed to drag himself to take a shower.
His hand was still bandaged, making it very difficult.

He was afraid Xie Zhaozhou might come over and ask if he needed help.
He would really be embarrassed to death.
But luckily, Xie Zhaozhou didn’t come to ask.

Until he lay down to sleep.
Not long after closing his eyes, he felt someone walk in and raise a hand to touch his forehead.

After Xie Zhaozhou left, Ning Shixue still couldn’t sleep much.
His forehead wasn’t warm before.
Now it was actually a bit warm.
Lying in bed, he kept thinking about Xie Zhaozhou’s gaze and the sweet words whispered in his ear.

Then he couldn’t help picking up his phone and searching for Xie Zhaozhou’s scandals from his teens until now.
He still wanted to know, did Xie Zhaozhou have a lover outside?

He felt Xie Zhaozhou was too experienced.
His mind was a mess.
He didn’t even know what he was thinking.

When Xie Zhaozhou reached out to hug him, he couldn’t think to refuse.
When he flirted with him, he only remembered that his voice was very gentle.

It didn’t even sound like flirting.
It sounded like he was trying to make him happy.

But he couldn’t find anything.
All he could find were those obviously fake gossip from marketing accounts.

Ning Shixue had to put down his phone and sleep.

When he woke up again, Xie Zhaozhou had already gone to the company.
He continued filming in He Lin’s production for a few more days.

When he finished work one night, he finally couldn’t help it.
He hesitated beside He Lin, wanting to speak but stopping.

Xie Zhaozhou seemed only close to He Lin.
And of Xie Zhaozhou’s friends, he only knew He Lin.

“Hm? What’s up?”
He Lin looked up and asked curiously.
“Something you need?”

After all, besides filming, Ning Shixue rarely took the initiative to speak to him.

Ning Shixue really wanted to ask He Lin, before marrying him, had Xie Zhaozhou been with anyone?

Or was he still involved with someone now?

Before, he thought it didn’t matter how many lovers Xie Zhaozhou had.
But now, it did.

He couldn’t treat him like this and still be with someone else.

Even if Xie Zhaozhou had dated before, he would care a little.
He was willing to have Xie Yaoyao, because Xie Yaoyao was very clingy with him.
Even if he wasn’t loved the most, to Xie Yaoyao, he was still unique.

Actually, he had thought about adopting Ji Xiao.
Not because he was particularly kind or had deep feelings for Ji Xiao.

He was the kind of person who was indifferent and easily retreated.
It was hard for him to take the initiative to approach anyone.
But knowing Ji Xiao would have a terrible time in a welfare home, and just letting him be sent there, he thought about it and felt he wouldn’t be able to sleep.

But Ning Shixue was also clear.
The person Ji Xiao loved most definitely wasn’t him.
If he wasn’t exclusively his, he didn’t want him.
Being like this, he probably wouldn’t raise Ji Xiao well either.

And he didn’t know how many years he could live.

If he died in two or three years, Ji Xiao might not be able to handle that kind of blow again.

Better to find him more suitable adoptive parents.

If Xie Zhaozhou had dated someone before, or had liked someone, and treated them this well, even more intimately than with him, he didn’t want to hear what Xie Zhaozhou had to say anymore.
They’d better just keep this plastic marriage relationship like this.

Otherwise, he absolutely didn’t want to hear about Xie Zhaozhou having any ties with anyone else.
Even though he knew that was hard.

But if he asked, He Lin would definitely tell Xie Zhaozhou.

Ning Shixue hesitated for a moment.
He also didn’t want Xie Zhaozhou to know he had asked this.
So he just said,
“Nothing, Director He.”

Ning Shixue got home after nine.
Xie Yaoyao and the others were already asleep.
Xie Zhaozhou still hadn’t come home tonight.

He lay on the bed and searched for a while longer.
He couldn’t help reading some old gossip with great interest.

He didn’t get up to shower until ten.

When Xie Zhaozhou got home, no one was downstairs.
Xie Yaoyao sometimes ran over in the middle of the night.
Ning Shixue’s bedroom door was never closed.
He walked in and heard the sound of water in the bathroom.

He had originally wanted to leave first.
But his gaze suddenly caught Ning Shixue’s tablet screen.

Ning Shixue had only been in the bathroom for a few minutes.
The screen was still on.

It was unmistakably a string of browsing history.

All sorts of gossip, new rumored girlfriends, and even a gossip account that had picked several actors and actresses he had worked with and convincingly claimed one of them was his first love.

Xie Zhaozhou paused.
He sat down on Ning Shixue’s bed and picked up his tablet.

He didn’t rummage around.
But he looked through all of Ning Shixue’s browsing history from the past few nights that was related to him.

Ning Shixue had actually heard Xie Zhaozhou’s footsteps in the bathroom.
But he didn’t think much of it.
Until he came out of the shower and saw the tablet in Xie Zhaozhou’s hand.

Ning Shixue: “…”

Damn it, had he not turned it off?

Ning Shixue’s face flushed bright red.
Blood rushed to his head.
He lunged to grab it.
“Give it to me.”

Afraid of hurting his injured hand, Xie Zhaozhou didn’t fight him and just handed it over.

“…How can you just look at other people’s privacy?”
Ning Shixue was so embarrassed his toes curled, but he still stubbornly insisted.

Xie Zhaozhou’s eyes held a smile as he drawled,
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known Teacher Xiao Ning cared so much about me.”

Ning Shixue’s face was red with embarrassment.
He sat on the bed and buried his head in his knees.

He simply couldn’t face anyone.

But Xie Zhaozhou still leaned close and asked him,
“If you wanted to know if I’d ever been in a relationship, why didn’t you just come and ask me?”

Ning Shixue: “…”

Ning Shixue looked up.
His eyes were also moist from embarrassment.
He still couldn’t open his mouth.

But Xie Zhaozhou had already started taking the initiative to confess.
Unexpectedly, he was almost serious as he told him,
“No lovers.”

“Never been in a relationship either.”

Before Ning Shixue could speak, Xie Zhaozhou’s narrow, dark eyes curved again, his tone carrying a lazy teasing.
“So, Teacher Xiao Ning dating me now means I’m in my first love.”
