When He Tiao got into the car, he noticed Chi Yizhen was slumped in the passenger seat, sleeping without fastening the seatbelt.
After inserting the car key, He Tiao leaned over to fasten Chi Yizhen’s seatbelt, but just as he leaned, Chi Yizhen opened his eyes.
He Tiao: “Thought you were asleep again.”
Chi Yizhen remained motionless, and at this moment, their distance was almost nonexistent.
Chi Yizhen: “Cousin, are you planning to steal a kiss from me?”
It was because the night market was closing down that He Tiao’s car had parked next to a barbecue stall.
A street lamp happened to be nearby, dimming the car interior, but the crew’s cameras were everywhere.
[He’s so sweet…]
[When I liked Chi Yizhen in elementary school, I never expected him to be like this…]
[I used to think I’d find a husband like him. I apologize, it turns out it’s a wife.]
[Kiss him!! Use your tongue to passionately sweep his lips!!]
He Tiao was taken aback, but the next moment, Chi Yizhen grabbed his collar and really kissed his lips.
Both of them were sober this time, neither drugged nor drunk.
But it felt like there was nobody around, even though there were actually people nearby.
The barrage in the live chat exploded in an instant, even though Xianggua did not have a tipping feature, the popularity of these two steadily rose.
[Ahh, I’m going to die. If I remember correctly, this is only the first day!!]
[I suspect they can hug for three days.]
[Even though I know it’s a persona, that they’re a couple in love, it still excites me!!]
[This perspective is so strange, it feels like peeping… but hahaha, our E-god even closed his eyes!! Help!]
[My heart is racing. It’s not even a real kiss, why am I like this!]
Chi Yizhen had kissed before, after all, he was an actor.
But the on-screen kisses could be choreographed and were often driven by the characters’ emotions.
As for Chi Yizhen himself, his love life was nonexistent, and he didn’t even have anyone to kiss.
Although humans don’t have mating seasons, there are always two or three days a year when the thought of “I want to be in a relationship” emerges.
However, Chi Yizhen quickly dismissed such thoughts because he knew the aftermath would be troublesome.
He longed for intimacy, but he could quickly shatter that desire. Compared to such happiness, he still feared losing it.
But now?
In a transmigrated world, he unexpectedly found himself snuggling up to someone.
In the show, it was an imagined intimate relationship.
This kiss came out of nowhere and made Chi Yizhen’s heart race.
He was afraid that He Tiao would suddenly get angry and push him away. Just as he was about to end it and step back, he was held by the face and a completely unorthodox kiss landed on his lips.
He even forcefully pried open Chi Yizhen’s lips. It was so inexperienced, yet it gave Chi Yizhen the illusion that he could be devoured.
Even the director was stunned.
The assistant director on the side said, “We don’t have a script, right?”
Zhang Miya, who was discussing with the team in the company but still had the live content on the screen, also choked up.
The barrage in the live chat room exploded like fireworks, full of exciting comments.
[“I’m going to die!! I can’t even see a kiss scene like this in urban romance dramas next door!!”]
[“Why does this kind of atmosphere, like in a broken truck carriage, feel more exciting than kissing in a Rolls-Royce next door?!”]
[“Although it’s dimly lit, I still felt that kind of directness…”]
[“E-god, I’m sorry. I just said you were innocent. I was too hasty…”]
This move not only shocked the audience but also caught You Yuxing’s attention, who had just finished work and happened to open the live stream with a secondary account.
The conditions at the rural homestay were not good, and there were a lot of mosquitoes and bugs in this weather.
The production team also finished work and did not continue filming. After taking a shower, You Yuxing didn’t rush back to his room. He stood on the balcony and looked at his phone. Below in the yard, the staff were having a barbecue dinner.
Sheng Xin was in a conference call, discussing work alone in his room.
The staff below were chatting casually, after all, they weren’t in work mode, just chatting about random things.
“I’m so tired. We still have half a month left for this season.”
“I have a friend who recently switched to Xianggua. It’s the variety show that’s airing these days…”
“I just opened the livestream, and they’re already kissing? Is it acting?”
“Kissing!! Who are they? The actress and the musician?”
“No, it’s the gaming guru and that…”
You Yuxing clicked on the livestream, and the screen showed He Tiao and Chi Yizhen kissing in a pickup truck.
The barrage of comments flying by conveyed the excitement of the viewers.
The picture was not clear at all due to the lack of light inside the car. However, the bright streetlights above illuminated the faces of the people inside the carriage, making them visible.
Although it was a bit blurry, this blurriness accentuated the ambiguity, making one blush even when watching it late at night.
The sound of their kiss could be heard, as the microphone picked it up, making it feel like a passionate embrace between lovers.
You Yuxing stared at Chi Yizhen’s face and then looked at the face of the man he was kissing.
He Tiao? Why have I never heard of this person before?
It must be Zhang Miya’s revenge, trying to get back at me for standing her up, deliberately finding Chi Yizhen, who was almost blacklisted.
Is she trying to use Chi Yizhen against me?
You Yuxing clenched his phone.
On the screen, Chi Yizhen’s face blushed under the dim light, and for a moment, the shyness seemed contagious. He Tiao also became embarrassed, struggling to fasten his seatbelt, repeatedly missing the slot.
Chi Yizhen, on the other hand, blushed and smiled. He Tiao urged him to buckle up, saying, “Let’s go home.”
Chi Yizhen replied, “Hubby, why are you so shy? We’ve done much more intimate things.”
The barrage of comments in the livestream went crazy again.
The setup of this variety show was too novel, attracting many people. Some expected it to be a typical life experience show, while others criticized it, considering most guests couldn’t handle that kind of hardship.
But they added an initial setup that didn’t completely fill in the gaps, leaving enough space for the artists to fill themselves.
So this filling naturally had the personalities of the artists inside.
The fun of reality shows lies here, as they can find a lot of enjoyment in one program.
Each viewer has different expectations.
“My Days in the Apartment Building” amplified this pursuit and also had a sense of reality. The main characters were all struggling workers, allowing the struggling workers watching to relate and feel a sense of satisfaction.
The staff chatting below burst into laughter, unexpectedly watching this variety show together.
You Yuxing had the volume on his phone set very low, but he could still hear them clearly.
The rumored gaming guru’s voice sounded embarrassed and annoyed, “Stop talking.”
This made Chi Yizhen feel like he was taking advantage of the situation.
But he still insisted, leaning over and saying, “Hubby, why are you like this? Don’t stop me from speaking.”
He portrayed his character in a straightforward manner, making the audience both laugh and feel sympathetic at the same time. Even during these humorous moments, viewers could sense the joy of teasing He Tiao.
[Chi Chi, go ahead and light the fire! Let’s see how you handle it when it backfires on you.]
[Combined with He Tiao’s domineering behavior just now, I can already feel the tension between these two when they sleep together.]
[It’s a pity we can’t see them sleeping; they’re not actually a couple.]
[Who knows? After all, we can’t see them sleeping!]
The atmosphere between these two is simply amazing, perfectly portraying the sweetness and playfulness of a loving couple.
It wasn’t until He Tiao sternly reminded Chi Yizhen that he needed to drive safely that he stopped teasing him. As they returned to their apartment building in the darkness, they discussed the money they earned that day and made plans for future earnings.
“Cousin, do you think we can live in a villa if we make a lot of money?”
Chi Yizhen lay back down, feeling that the streets didn’t look as good as He Tiao. With each blink of his eyes, he grew more drowsy.
He Tiao: “Sure, we can.”
Chi Yizhen laughed again. “You really have a wild imagination.”
He Tiao replied, “I believe we can.”
Chi Yizhen reached out to calculate their earnings. “With just the two of us, you make money from selling barbecue, but it’s too tiring for one person. Today, you were almost overwhelmed.”
“As for me, I’m good-looking, so I can charge more as a model. Let me handle it.”
He said he was good-looking as casually as if he were talking about eating something. When an ordinary person says something like that, it might come across as narcissistic, but when Chi Yizhen says it, it feels like he’s stating a fact.
There is also a “husband” beside him who unconditionally agrees with him.
He Tiao: “Okay.”
[Huh? E God, you’re still…]
[The one selling barbecue might also be a portrayal of a boss character. How can you…]
[Just a soft rice man.]
[What’s wrong with being a soft rice man? Hahaha, it must be enjoyable to sleep so comfortably!]
User 2294988 has been banned from speaking for one hour.
[Which unlucky guy had his tiger and wolf words banned? Ha!]
[I really like the current atmosphere, it feels…very warm.]
[They are both innocent and reserved, giving a sense of endless possibilities for the future… Looking forward to Chi Yizhen becoming popular!]
As the words “becoming popular” flashed across the page, it stirred up panic in You Yuxing.
He carefully observed and imagined this possibility, but he always felt that Sheng Xin would still choose Chi Yizhen without hesitation.
After all, Sheng Xin was the one he grabbed using the system.
When You Yuxing, who had been working since his early teens, met Sheng Xin that year, the latter didn’t even know him. Sheng Xin, who was just an ordinary person at a gathering of young men from big cities, wasn’t outstanding back then.
You Yuxing was just a rookie waiter. It was probably someone’s birthday that day, and someone brought Chi Yizhen along.
There was some commotion, and Chi Yizhen didn’t expect Sheng Xin to be there, but he still greeted him from a distance.
You Yuxing brought things over several times, and the last time he was intentionally tripped by a student who stepped on his name tag, asking if he was underage.
He also said that he was too ugly, which made him unhappy.
“Speaking of which, I didn’t look carefully just now. You’re 90% ugly, but there’s a 10% resemblance to Chi Yizhen.”
You Yuxing didn’t think he was ugly; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a waiter here. But this person came up and called him ugly.
You Yuxing dared to be angry but not speak. Just then, Sheng Xin returned from outside and heard someone mention Chi Yizhen again. At that time, Sheng Xin had nowhere to vent his frustrations after being rejected, so he vented his anger on the person who brought Chi Yizhen.
Coincidentally, this saved You Yuxing.
You Yuxing’s first impression of Sheng Xin was that he was still a decent person.
After all, Sheng Xin didn’t complain when You Yuxing accidentally knocked over the red wine he brought.
Later on, it was also You Yuxing who seized the opportunity and intentionally let Sheng Xin mistake him for a substitute.
For someone like him to reach this position as a substitute was already defying fate, but Chi Yizhen, whose family had been destroyed, managed to rise again.
You Yuxing had been watching for a long time, so long that he didn’t notice the door behind him opening silently, and Sheng Xin walked up to him.
In the video on the phone, Chi Yizhen, carried by He Tiao,
“What are you looking at?” Sheng Xin asked
Yu Xing was startled and instinctively put away his phone, but it was taken by Sheng Xin.
The man, who had just finished a meeting, smelled of tobacco. His gold-rimmed glasses barely enhanced his facial features under the dim light on the balcony.
Sheng Xin’s noble aura, inherited from his prestigious family background, was one of his few assets in terms of appearance.
He sneered at the man inside who resembled the man next to him by eighty percent.
Yu Xing: “Brother Xin, have you finished the meeting?”
He reached out to grab his phone, but Sheng Xin held his chin and forced him to look up.
The live stream happened to show a close-up of Chi Yizhen, who was being compared to Yuxing.
Sheng Xin sighed deeply. “A counterfeit is still a counterfeit.”
He didn’t hide his disgust and added with some confusion, “How did I end up marrying you?”
Chi Yizhen was carried home by HeTiao step by step. He asked He Tiao, “You really want to carry me like this? Don’t you get tired?”
He had just gotten out of the car but stumbled a bit, not expecting He Tiao to come over and offer to carry him.
Chi Yizhen didn’t want to act like a princess and quickly waved his hand, but He Tiao squatted down to lift him up.
He Tiao was occasionally easy to bully, but sometimes he was very firm. Just by looking into his eyes, Chi Yizhen knew he couldn’t refuse. Besides, Chi Yizhen was tired, so he complied.
He Tiao’s back felt secure, and Chi Yizhen’s breathing brushed against his neck. He Tiao pursed his lips.
“Do we have to have a reason?”
Chi Yizhen: “If there isn’t one, then forget it.”
He yawned. “I don’t want to take a bath anymore. I’ve already taken one.”
HeTiao: “Then don’t.”
Chi Yizhen made a sound of agreement.
He Tiao continued, “I want you to live in a big villa in the future.”
Chi Yi zhen: “What?”
“With someone carrying you every day.”
Chi Yizhen burst into laughter. “What’s the connection between living in a villa and someone carrying me?”
He Tiao replied, “Because I’ll be there.”
[Who would have thought that the most socially anxious person would be so good at sweet talking…]
[The late-night time slot lives up to its reputation.]
[This feels so real that it’s hard to believe it’s a variety show! The atmosphere, the setting!]
[Seriously, might as well make it a real relationship.]
