Chi Yizhen, seeing that He Tiao remained silent and wasn’t getting angry, accepted the schedule handed to him by the director. While reading it, he said, “I have to call you that, right? We’re a loving entrepreneurial couple. Don’t people in love usually act lovey-dovey?”

He continued, seemingly casually, “Honey, did you never date anyone before?”

He Tiao: “No.”

He paused for a moment and asked, “Can we change the way you address me?”

Chi Yizhen: “How about you calling me ‘husband’ then?”

He was really pushing it, and in contrast to his dignified demeanor on the live stream, he looked relaxed as one would expect while sitting in a car.

He Tiao: “No.”

Chi Yizhen put down the schedule in his hand and sighed. “Then, what should we call each other? I don’t want you to call me ‘Xiao Zhen’ or ‘Ah Zhen.'”

He Tiao didn’t dress like the typical domineering CEO one might expect, even though his facial features were sharp. His hair wasn’t slicked back; instead, it fell naturally, giving him a somewhat obedient appearance. He asked with precision, “Why not?”

Chi Yizhen sighed, “That’s what my brother…”

He sighed again and said, “Let’s choose another one. Anyway, we’re going to live together for fifteen days.”

【I burst out laughing. Chi Yizhen speaks so straightforwardly and crudely, you’d think this is an adult channel filming a meeting between adult film actors.】

【Aww, my baby looks so heartbroken when he mentions family.】

【E-God!! Why?! You don’t even answer personal questions in your own livestream! And now you’re being so obedient! Is it because Chi Yizhen looks better than me?】

【Hey, person above, why don’t you just leave? Are you that big brother who’s always at the top?】

He Tiao, as if reminded of something, raised his eyes and asked the director off-camera, “Do we really have to sleep together?”

The director nodded, “Is there a problem?”

【And he’s so candid! It’s as if I’m the dirty one.】

【Chi Yizhen is sneaking a laugh, hahaha, he’s surprisingly fun. I used to criticize him for being boring in his previous variety shows.】

【I can almost see despair on E-God’s face…】

【Does he have OCD? I feel like he wiped the water off Chi Yizhen just to adjust the drawstring… for some post-editing work.】

He Tiao looked at Chi Yizhen, “Is there a problem?”

Chi Yizhen nodded, “Of course not, we’re not…”

As if afraid he’d say something earth-shattering, He Tiao interrupted and nodded, “Got it.”

He appeared calm on the surface, sitting on the side, staring at the flowchart, but he didn’t absorb any of it.

Chi Yizhen was the same, thinking about He Tiao’s clingy actions from before, like a large dog on the bed.

I cling to him, and he clings even more.

What’s the point?

Now, pretending not to be close, he actually looks quite aloof.

The car ride to the destination took almost an hour and a half, and during that time, Chi Yizhen chatted with the director, but then he fell asleep again.

The  High-Rise Building was located on the outskirts of the city, and there was a bumpy section of road in the middle. Chi Yizhen was so tired that even the rough ride didn’t faze him.

The director simply refrained from intervening in this pair’s chemical reaction.

As time went on, it seemed that He Tiao couldn’t bear to see Chi Yizhen bouncing around anymore. When Chi Yizhen was about to slip down, he reached out his hand.

【My goodness!! Is this the moment I’ve been waiting for when He Tiao holds Chi Yizhen?!】

【It’s probably just about him resting his head on his shoulder or something…】

【These two actually look pretty compatible…】

However, He Tiao just fastened Chi Yizhen’s seatbelt.

He explained solemnly, “Even when sitting in the back, you must wear your seatbelt.”

“There are a thousand rules on the road, but safety comes first.”

Director: …

Everyone in the car and the viewers in the live stream fell silent.

Meanwhile, “My Days in Apartment Building” had, as Zhang Miya expected, climbed to the top of the real-time search rankings.

The producer who had previously disagreed with her decision to invite Chi Yizhen watched the real-time data in silence.

“It seems like Director Zhang has her ways.”

They were in a meeting room, looking at a large screen where each pair’s live broadcast footage was displayed.

This variety show had a strong focus on CP (couple pairing) dynamics, transitioning smoothly from a real couple to an industry insider CP and then to a semi-industry insider CP, captivating the audience’s attention.

No one expected that Chi Yizhen and He Tiao would gain the highest popularity right after the show started.

He Tiao’s looks also surprised everyone, and many fans had prepared themselves for the possibility that the gaming expert would look less impressive in real life.

However, the reality was quite the opposite. He Tiao turned out to be exceptionally good-looking, leaving fans in disbelief.

The interaction between He Tiao and Chi Yizhen had an astonishingly authentic feel to it.

“But I remember that we promote improvisation without a script,” the producer stared at the real-time trending topics switched by the assistant and wondered, “Did you give them a script? They’re performing quite well.”

Zhang Xiaozhang’s phone was buzzing non-stop with messages from friends and family, all asking if what He Tiao said was true.

“Are you friends with this big shot you’re chasing after?”

Zhang Miya hadn’t expected He Tiao to hold a grudge like this. She clenched her teeth and said, “Of course not.”

The assistant had warned Zhang Miya that He Tiao might turn the show into nothing more than a pretty face.

Now, seeing He Tiao and Chi Yizhen’s interactions, it seemed that there was more to this than just appearances.

Could it be that the rumored gaming expert had turned over a new leaf?

Finally, He Tiao, the blossoming iron tree, managed to endure the trip and get off the car. However, he realized that none of the staff had tried to wake up Chi Yizhen, and they were all waiting for him to do it.

He Tiao:?

The producer said, “You should do it.”

He Tiao was afraid that Chi Yizhen would call him “husband” again, so he covered Chi Yizhen’s mouth while unfastening his seatbelt.

Chi Yizhen’s palm was soft, moist, and warm, as if something unknown was tickling He Tiao’s heart.

After unfastening the seatbelt, He Tiao raised his eyes and found himself locked in Chi Yizhen’s smiling eyes.

Despite having his mouth covered, Chi Yizhen didn’t let that stop him.

The next moment, He Tiao abruptly released his hand, as if he had been burnt. But the one who had just licked his palm acted as if nothing had happened and casually greeted him, “Hey, honey.”
