What the audience in the live stream saw was He Tiao suddenly getting closer.
Combining with the shimmering lake under the sunlight, it instantly created a flirtatious atmosphere for a couple’s date.
But idol dramas always have carefully lit scenes and polished dubbing, even the reactions of the counterparts are pre-rehearsed.
However, for some reason, almost no one felt like this was scripted in that moment.
Because Chi Yizhen’s reaction was probably the same as most people’s—subconsciously stepping back, but not managing to avert his gaze, resulting in a complete eye contact with He Tiao.
One person raised their eyes, the other lowered theirs with a pitiful, pleading look.
The audience could see the small mole on Chi Yizhen’s nasal bone, bathed in the warm winter sun, even his eyelashes seemed to be gilded, and even his stunned expression exuded an extreme elegance.
Not to mention that the microphone was clipped to their collars, it couldn’t be seen at first glance, but the sound recording was excellent.
It felt like He Tiao was pleading in the audience’s ears.
[I would be so grateful, E God, have you ever considered voicing a female character in the mobile games under your company? I would spend a fortune unlocking voice lines…]
[To the extent of a million voice messages, I would spend all my money on unlocking card illustrations…]
[This couple’s reactions when they’re together are so strong, but the one with the strongest reaction is me!!]
[That mole on Chi Yizhen is placed perfectly. In the past, when I saw his fans talking about the traces of kisses from a divine messenger, I thought it was too fanciful. But now… oh, I was so ignorant, I’m even a bit curious…]
[Is it just my imagination, or does it seem like E God has completely gone from passive to active? What happened overnight?]
[I suspect there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes footage. Can we consider paying to unlock it?]
[Chi Yizhen, can you handle it? I can’t anymore!!]
[Is this a strategy of retreat to advance? Thank you, E God, I’ve learned that our Star Track leader isn’t just an otaku!!]
It took Chi Yizhen a while to react.
He coughed lightly, “Then let’s go to the haunted house.”
He Tiao just smiled at him.
[Help, Mr. He, please stop smiling. Fortunately, you’re not in the entertainment industry, otherwise I think this year’s batch of popular idols would be hopeless.]
[Chi Yizhen’s expression is killing me, it’s like he just realized he was being silly.]
It was only now that Chi Yizhen truly snapped out of it. He stared at the map for a few seconds, then looked back at He Tiao.
He Tiao: “What’s wrong?”
The person standing beside him was still looking at the map.
This new model of combining a scenic area with an amusement park had become quite popular recently. No one knew how much Zhang Miya had received for promotion. He Tiao looked at the route on the map, calculating which way would be the fastest.
But he also didn’t want it to end too quickly, after all, this was a rare time when they didn’t have to work.
And it could be like a role-play— a date.
Even though he and Chi Yizhen slept together every day on this show, He Tiao only now realized how heartless this person truly was.
He couldn’t even sleep properly.
But in the eyes of others, He Tiao himself was the same kind of person. From childhood to adulthood, he never had a close friend he could lean on. He would never be intimately close to someone to the point of chatting all night while lying on the same bed.
He avoided participating in various activities during his university years, as if he believed he could live independently until the end of time, without envying others’ intimate relationships.
But years later, in this kind of program, he felt that kind of anxious longing for the first time.
Unfortunately, the person standing beside him was passionate yet heartless. After returning to his normal state, he took He Tiao’s hand and said, “It’s nothing, I just saw a stall selling sugar paintings up ahead. Do you want to try it?”
Chi Yizhen had no doubt that He Tiao had done it on purpose just now, but he suddenly realized that he had actually fallen for it.
Why did he suddenly become so compliant?
Deep down, he knew the reason, but he didn’t dare to think about it too deeply.
After all, he himself wasn’t sure if there was a future, and he understood that Sheng Xin’s return would likely involve many things.
Even the Chi family, who had some background back then, was ultimately destroyed by Sheng Xin. He Tiao was just a self-made person, so it would be easy for him to collapse as soon as he reached new heights.
Forget it.
Chi Yizhen held He Tiao’s hand and thought to himself: Love can be controlled.
It’s okay to indulge a little during the show… right?
He completely didn’t realize that his smile seemed a bit forced.
But that forced expression disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, the scenic beauty and the distant Ferris wheel complemented each other. There were tourists taking photos on the boat, and unfortunately, the live stream camera didn’t have the luxury of film editing. Even his momentary melancholy was clearly captured.
Even if He Tiao didn’t see it.
But that didn’t prevent him from seeing it later.
[I really suspect they’ve confessed to each other, something feels off…]
[It’s only been a week, what’s with this fire in an old house!!]
[But it’s hard not to be… right.]
[Both of them look so… it’s hard not to be moved, sob sob sob. But I feel like Chi Yizhen is the kind of person who seems flirtatious on the surface but actually isn’t that…]
[During my break, I looked back a bit and found that the most intimate thing they did was in the car that one time. But good-looking people truly have the freedom to do as they please, it’s hard not to be drawn in.]
[Even if it means my family being destroyed, I would still temporarily be infatuated with this illusion of a warm family.]
[He really gives off a sense of homelessness. Ah, when I watch his live streams, I really hope that E God and he are together.]
[You suddenly became so pessimistic, but I believe E God will definitely pursue him. As a fan of this game, I’ve been watching his live streams all along. Although this man seems cold at first glance and plays games fiercely, I can only say that… these live streams probably only reveal the tip of the iceberg.]
[Meanwhile, I’m wondering if Sheng Xin will come to cause trouble…]
At this moment, He Tiao didn’t have time to think about all that. He embraced the mindset of having fun when playing and devoted himself to exploring Chi Yizhen’s various interests.
Starting with sugar paintings.
However, they didn’t expect this stall to be so popular, with a long queue.
Many tourists were curious to see a live recording, and their curiosity didn’t wane.
Chi Yizhen: “There are so many people. It’s fine if we don’t eat it. Let’s go.”
He still wanted to go to the haunted house.
But He Tiao couldn’t move him at all. He seemed rooted in place, saying, “No, since we’re here, let’s do it.”
[Hahaha, this is hilarious. “Since we’re here, let’s do it.”]
[E God is really good at being silly.]
[Look at the expression of the boy in the bottom left corner, hahaha.]
Chi Yizhen: “We’ll have to wait in line for a long time.”
However, this stall also offered a self-service option, where customers could create their own sugar paintings.
He Tiao glanced at the director who was following them.
Director: Is this a threat? It must be!
Being a special guest is extraordinary! Why did Manager Zhang specially message me earlier to go along with General He?
What’s going on? Did this General He also invest in something?
Perhaps these staff members had all received Zhang Miya’s highest instructions, to the point that after Chi Yizhen finished speaking, there was a prompt offscreen saying it was okay.
And there was a big four-character phrase marked—do as you please.
Chi Yizhen: “It’s making me a little scared how considerate they suddenly became.”
The weather was nice today, perfect for sunbathing and chatting. Moreover, there were still many people around, and they could hear various accents from all over.
The camera blurred the faces of the ordinary people, but some tourists were really chatty and willingly appeared on camera.
It seemed that because Chi Yizhen and He Tiao were exceptionally good-looking, combined with the filming equipment, someone asked, “Are you both celebrities?”
This special episode on a rest day wasn’t very strict.
After all, the usual daily routines of those office workers in the live stream have all sorts of loopholes. The absence of a script’s disadvantages instead became a source of humor. For example, Chi Yizhen’s portrayal of an 18th-tier actor on the show was all about being chatty.
[Here it comes, it’s time for the aunties’ gossip session, hahaha.]
[Did you notice that E God quietly hid behind Chi Chi?]
[General He, with your tall figure, why are you so afraid of people!!]
[Everyone, be more understanding. Didn’t you see how he looked in the first episode? He seemed like he wanted to end it all.]
Chi Yizhen shook his head, “Not really.”
Chi Yizhen glanced at He Tiao, who was hiding behind him, and couldn’t help muttering to himself: “I told you not to come with so many people, but you still came.”
Even He Tiao didn’t hear his muttering, but the audience in the live stream did.
[Hahaha, a quarrel between a young couple. So cute.]
[E God: Feeling wronged.]
[It’s obvious that Chi Yizhen wanted to come!]
Another tour group auntie asked, “Are you two friends? Are you out here playing together?”
Chi Yizhen shook his head, “He is my boyfriend.”
There was nothing strange about that, same-sex marriages had been legal for many years. However, Chi Yizhen’s open attitude made He Tiao suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable.
He really got into character.
The auntie responded with an “Oh” and said, “You two look quite compatible.”
Chi Yizhen smiled and thanked her, then immediately changed the topic to the auntie and her spouse, opening up their conversation and listening to their stories of elderly love.
He Tiao stood silently by the side, but his attention was completely focused on Chi Yizhen. He didn’t notice how intense his gaze was.
[I didn’t realize Chi Yizhen could chat so much… He’s really good at changing the subject.]
[General He, have you seen enough? That’s enough.]
“Are you both students?”
The more the auntie looked at Chi Yizhen, the more comfortable she felt. She even mentioned that her son had just broken up with his boyfriend recently.
“You’re not married, right?”
[Auntie, your schemes are so obvious that even I, in City G, can hear them.]
[No suspense here, just unfolding as expected.]
Chi Yizhen glanced at He Tiao, then noticed that only two children were left in front of them.
“We haven’t had the wedding yet.”
The auntie expressed her regret with an “Oh,” but seeing how handsome He Tiao was, she nodded and said it was great.
Chi Yizhen couldn’t help but think, please stop asking. If you keep asking, I’ll go crazy.
But the reality proved that once they started chatting, it was hard to end. The auntie asked again, “When are you planning to have the wedding?”
She really thought they were a celebrity couple recording a show.
Chi Yizhen hadn’t even spoken yet when He Tiao took over and said, “He said we’ll have an outdoor wedding when I buy a big villa.”
It seemed that this statement sounded a bit resentful, and it seemed like Chi Yizhen was snobbish. The auntie responded with an “Oh,” and said it would be fine even without a big villa.
Chi Yizhen thought to himself, please stop asking. When did I say I wanted a big villa?
But He Tiao confidently persisted, “He doesn’t want to rent.”
The next moment, he made a very serious promise, “But it’s okay, I will work hard.”
Chi Yizhen suddenly felt a bit annoyed.
[Hahaha, this is hilarious!! Chi Yizhen, you’re in for it now!!]
[I was going to say that the owner of a barbecue stall probably couldn’t afford a big villa anytime soon, but damn, he just updated his character background. He’s like a young master of a wealthy family running a street stall!!]
[So whether it’s inside or outside the live stream, our General He is someone who can afford a big villa.]
[Are we going to be frolicking in a seaside villa? I’m so clever.]
[I didn’t expect our E God, who seems otherworldly, to be quite witty. Truly the husband of the gaming industry, sob sob sob.]
It’s unclear whether the people involved did it intentionally or if they truly lacked insight, but when it was Chi Yizhen’s turn to make the sugar painting, they asked:
“Do you want to draw a seaside villa?”
Chi Yizhen smiled brightly, “If you have the ability, buy a villa now.”
[Wow, he’s so fierce.]
[Hehe, certain people are secretly delighted.]
