Chapter 53: I Don’t Want to Be Teased Either, But He Called Me Baby!

The hot breath, mixed with a faint scent of cedar, made the girl’s cheeks flush a delicate red.

Especially since she was so close to feeling the man’s hips…

Jiang Mi’s whole body stiffened, her heartbeat uncontrollably speeding up, leaving her a bit bewildered. “I-I didn’t…”

Gu Chuan lowered his gaze, the beast caged in his heart impatiently trying to break free. But seeing the panic on the girl’s face, he exhaled a breath of restraint, his voice low and husky. “If you’re scared, then get up quickly.”

Jiang Mi had never experienced anything like this before. The unexpected touch, coupled with their closeness, naturally made her shy and a bit scared.

After all, Gu Chuan’s… was a bit too fierce, too big.

In her panic, Jiang Mi tried to get up, but her small hand accidentally brushed against the firm muscles of Gu Chuan’s chest, startling her even more.

A soft gasp of panic escaped her lips as she lost control and fell back into Gu Chuan’s arms.

This time, the contact was even more intimate.

Gu Chuan let out a muffled groan, his sexy, hoarse voice sending Jiang Mi’s heart racing, her cheeks flushing red.

She wanted to explain, but how could she when this seemed like a classic case of playing hard to get?

The exposed skin on her body turned a delicate shade of red.

Gu Chuan lowered his head and gently nibbled on her soft earlobe. “Baby, if you keep teasing me like this, you won’t be able to escape.”

I don’t want to be teased either! But he called me baby!

The intimate and affectionate nickname exploded in Jiang Mi’s ears, sending a shiver of delight through her.

In an instant, it felt like fireworks were bursting in her heart.

Jiang Mi’s heart raced, her face flushed, but this time, she didn’t run away like a startled deer. Instead, she wanted to get closer to Gu Chuan, even closer.

Her soft waist sank down, her cheek gently brushing against the man’s neck, her voice trembling slightly. “I never planned to leave. I’m your girlfriend, after all.”

In an instant, the tightly wound string in Gu Chuan’s heart snapped completely.

His dark eyes locked onto the girl’s flushed, tender earlobes.

Like a starved beast, his gaze was dark and intense, filled with a fierce desire to devour his prey!

But in the end, he simply pulled her tightly into his embrace, his voice rough with restraint. “Don’t tease me.”

With the girl’s encouragement, he could have easily given in to his impulses.

But they were still on set, with crew members moving around outside and countless hidden cameras in the villa.

One wrong move could leave evidence.

He wouldn’t put her in any danger.

Besides, this place was too casual. His sweet Mimi was so precious, she deserved the best of everything.

Jiang Mi pouted slightly, wanting to say she wasn’t teasing him, but the sound of his suppressed breathing made her lose her words.

“Alright, I won’t tease you,” Jiang Mi murmured, nestled in Gu Chuan’s arms. She couldn’t help but ask, “But what about you?”

Gu Chuan let out a heavy breath. “I’ll endure.”

Jiang Mi wasn’t convinced.

So big, so hard—could he really endure it?

A soft blush crept back onto Jiang Mi’s face.

Gu Chuan didn’t know what Jiang Mi was thinking. To distract himself, he asked, “Is there any place you want to go?”

A place she wanted to go?

Hearing this question suddenly, Jiang Mi looked a bit lost.

Ever since she was betrayed and killed in her original world by that scumbag and bitch, she had been bound to a system, traveling between worlds to complete missions.

In the past, she worked tirelessly on missions, hoping to earn enough points to return to her original world for revenge.

She had gotten used to it, but now, hearing Gu Chuan’s question, she suddenly felt a bit sad.

She gently rubbed her face against Gu Chuan’s neck.

Gu Chuan could sense the sadness emanating from Jiang Mi, and a dark glint flashed in his deep eyes.

Then, Jiang Mi’s soft, raspy voice broke the silence. “I want to see the sea.”

To see the vast ocean, feel the slightly salty sea breeze, walk on the beach, and occasionally find a beautiful shell washed ashore…

As Jiang Mi imagined this, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into a smile. “Will you take me?”

Gu Chuan’s dark eyes filled with a gentle smile. He didn’t answer directly, but instead made an even bigger promise. “As long as you want.”

Looking into the man’s deep, dark eyes, Jiang Mi had the illusion that no matter what she wanted or where she wanted to go, Gu Chuan would make it happen.

Her boyfriend really made her feel safe.

Jiang Mi wrapped her arms around Gu Chuan’s shoulders and nuzzled against him like a kitten.

But if they wanted to go on vacation, they’d at least have to wait until the filming of this romance show was over.

Suddenly, they heard Lu Yu’s voice outside, sneaking around like a thief. “Mimi, are you in there?”

At that moment, connecting with the intimate encounter between them, Jiang Mi inexplicably felt a sense of shame, as if she had been caught in the act.

Her body stiffened, and she quickly sat up from the man’s embrace, her peripheral vision inadvertently catching sight of his crotch.

It was bulging…

Even bigger than she had imagined…

Jiang Mi quickly averted her eyes, coughed lightly, and said, “You should cover that up. I’ll go see what Xiao Yutou wants.”

Cover it up?

Gu Chuan watched Jiang Mi’s hurried retreat, a helpless yet affectionate smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Lu Yu had made a special effort to get up early today, just to come and give Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan a heads-up.

If they waited until the livestream started and it was revealed that the two of them had slept in the same room last night, it wouldn’t look good.

Lu Yu anxiously waited for a moment, and when no one opened the door, she was about to call out again when the door creaked open, revealing Jiang Mi’s bright and beautiful face.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiang Mi was up this early, it seemed like Gu Chuan hadn’t taken things too far last night!

As she thought this, Lu Yu’s little head couldn’t help but peek inside, trying to see what had happened.

But Jiang Mi was faster, quickly closing the door behind her.

Lu Yu blinked and teased with a grin, “Mimi, you closed the door so fast. Are you hiding a man in there?”

There was indeed a man inside.

And not just any man—a man with a cold, handsome face, broad shoulders, narrow hips, and eight-pack abs.

The most crucial point was that this man was her boyfriend.

Jiang Mi raised her delicate eyebrows, “Are you jealous? If you are, hurry up and find one yourself. I think Dr. Fu is a good choice.”

In the original storyline, Fu Li was also one of Bai Ruoruo’s targets. However, Fu Li’s attitude towards Bai Ruoruo was always lukewarm, and he showed unusual interest in Lu Yu instead.

Because of this, Lu Yu was severely targeted by Bai Ruoruo.

After all, those who dared to compete with the female lead for a man in a world full of temptations usually met with a bad end.

In the end, Lu Yu was deliberately set up by Bai Ruoruo, assaulted, and the video was exposed online, leading to rounds of online harassment.

Fu Li stayed by her side gently throughout.

Lu Yu eventually fell in love with him.

But the more she loved him, the more she felt dirty and unworthy of him.

And so, she leaped from the 18th floor, ending her life and her love.

Lu Yu felt a tingle under Jiang Mi’s gaze, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

“No.” Jiang Mi shook her head and changed the subject, “By the way, do you know what the game segment in today’s livestream will be?”

Lu Yu’s interest was piqued, and her voice rose a few notches, “Originally, the program team planned for the boys to compete in strength and the girls in agility, but Bai Ruoruo and Film Emperor Shen went to the hospital again!”

That “again” revealed the essence of it.

But as Lu Yu mentioned, because Bai Ruoruo injured her wrist and couldn’t participate in the agility game, the director reluctantly canceled that segment and was racking his brains to think of a replacement when he suddenly received a phone call.

After taking the call, the director’s face lit up as if he had won a five-million-dollar prize!

With a wave of his hand, he canceled all of today’s game segments and handed out small slips of paper to everyone.

Each guest was to write down the name of the person they most wanted to go on a date with today. If both parties mutually chose each other, the couple would automatically be set.

Compared to the previous rounds, where winning various games was necessary to earn a date, today’s arrangement seemed too simple.

So simple that everyone couldn’t help but suspect that the director was up to something behind the scenes.

Faced with the unanimous suspicion of the guests, the director wasn’t angry but instead smiled with a wretched—no, a happy—expression.

“You’ll find out the details next week. It’s definitely something unexpected that will excite everyone.”

The more mysterious the director acted, the more curious everyone became, pestering him with questions.

But the director, sneaking a glance at Gu Chuan, calmed down slightly from his excitement and put on a stern face, saying:

“Stop asking. I said it’s a surprise for next week, so it won’t be revealed early. Now, hurry up and write down your crush’s name.”

【What secret is the director hiding? It’s really driving me crazy with curiosity.】

【Could it be that a big-name guest is coming to join the show, and that’s why the director is so excited?】

【Big-name guests have packed schedules, so they probably won’t join the show on short notice. Besides, I can’t think of any big name that would excite all the guests.】

【So what is it? The production team is really evil, making us wait anxiously for a whole week.】

【It might just be a marketing ploy by the production team, deliberately stirring up the audience’s curiosity. There might not even be a surprise.】

While the bullet screen was abuzz with heated discussions about what the surprise could be, the guests had already handed in their slips with their chosen crushes to the director.
