Xu Chun: "When..."
Xie Jianyuan is a werewolf, even more ruthless than a human.
Chapter 31 Serious People
Seeing Xu Chun freeze in shock, Wei Jiahe excitedly shouted, "Hesitating! Brother Chun is hesitating!"
"Countdown three, two, one!" Fu He next to him also started to cheer.
Xu Chun stared at Xie Jianyuan, who was smiling, and silently thought to herself, "You're ruthless."
He could only manage a forced smile and slowly utter, "Of Course."
Xie Jianyuan's smile deepened in his dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up, indicating that he was in a good mood and did not care about winning or losing the competition.
After a few more symbolic exchanges, Xie Jianyuan withdrew from the match and returned to his original position, satisfied.
Wei Jiahe winked at him mischievously, Xie Jianyuan as if he didn't see it and subtly looked away.
Finally, each team sent out their final player. Xu Chun was on the red team, and Wei Jiahe was on the blue team. It took them three or four minutes to determine a winner.
Xu Chun ultimately lost because she wasn't thick-skinned enough.
After completing this stage, the two teams traveled by car to the final mission location, which was outdoors under the scorching sun.
"It's so hot." Bai Lingling glanced around and spotted an ice cream shop, and a thought popped into her head.
"Brother Chun." She tugged at Xu Chun's sleeve, and when he turned around in confusion, she gave him a playful smile and pleaded in a softer tone, "Could you buy me an ice cream, please?"
She has always presented an elegant and mature image to the audience, so it's rare to see her show such a charming and innocent side. It's safe to say that any man would find it hard to resist her when she's being coquettish in this situation.
Xu Chun was taken aback, then honestly replied, "But I don't have any money on me; only the staff have money."
It means that even if he wanted to buy it for someone else, it would be useless; he might as well go find a staff member.
Bai Lingling's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but she still forced a smile, "Then why don't you call the staff?"
Helpless, Xu Chun went to find a staff member. Just as he took a step, Xie Jianyuan walked over with a sullen face. Bai Lingling looked at the plastic bag in his hand with suspicion.
"Sister Bai, didn't you want ice cream? I bought you all sorts of flavors." He said with a smile as he took the ice cream out of the plastic bag.
Bai Lingling looked at the colorful ice cream packaging and felt a little touched. When she looked at Xie Jianyuan again, her eyes were different.
"Thank you, Little Xie, you're so kind to me."
Xie Jianyuan smiled but did not reply.
Xu Chun had just brought the money over when she saw Xie Jianyuan give Bai Lingling a large bag of ice cream, and she was taken aback.
"What's going on now?"
"It's alright, it's good that you don't have to bother buying it for Sister Bai anymore." Xie Jianyuan heard Xu Chun's voice, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. He replied, "Brother Chun, do you want some ice cream?"
Xu Chun peeked into the bag. "Do you have any popsicles? If so, I'll have one."
"Yes." Xie Jianyuan magically pulled a lychee-flavored popsicle from the bag and handed it to Xu Chun.
Xu Chun tore off the plastic packaging, carefully took a bite, and mumbled, "Did you give it to anyone else?"
The popsicle was so cold it made her teeth ache. Xu Chun took it out, glanced at it, and then tentatively licked it. Her lips were red from the cold and looked very moist.
"It's given."
Xie Jianyuan stared intently at his every move, his gaze lingering on his lips, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Alright, let's go." Bai Lingling said when she saw the Blue Team waving to them.
The game is called "Two-Person Balloon Race." Each team sends two people to run with their faces touching a balloon. The balloon cannot fall or pop; otherwise, the team is eliminated.
The red team naturally sent out two boys, Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan, while the blue team sent out Fu He and Wei Jiahe. The four of them stood on the starting line and played with balloons.
We must win.
Xu Chun glanced at the two members of the blue team fiddling with balloons next to her, and her competitive spirit was also aroused. She looked at Xie Jianyuan with a serious expression.
Xie Jianyuan smiled and nodded in agreement, "With Brother Chun here, that's for sure."
Seeing how much he trusted her, Xu Chun couldn't help but smile.
As the referee prepared for the start of the competition, Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan immediately set off, arm in arm, walking sideways like crabs, with a balloon between their faces, looking somewhat comical.
Because of the vigorous running, Xu Chun's breathing was a little rapid, and her heart was beating very fast. Because they were pressed against the balloon, the two were very close to each other, and they could inadvertently meet Xie Jianyuan's eyes.
"Hurry up!" Bai Lingling cheered them on from the side.
When they reached the finish line, both of them slowed down at the same time, and by then they had already left the blue team far behind.
Finally, the program team announced the final results: out of three games, the Red Team won two and the Blue Team won one, so the Red Team was the winner.
Afterwards, Xu Chun watched the playback with the PD, her expression a complex and dreamy mix of emotions as she looked at her comical self. Finally, she patted the PD on the shoulder and joked, "Name your price, and delete it."
The PD naturally knew he was joking, and replied with a few words. Then they called Xu Chun over there, and Xu Chun responded and went over.
Just as the PD was about to turn and leave, Xie Jianyuan suddenly walked over and called him back, watching the scene of the match with great interest.
"Name your price, and send me a copy."
PD: "..." You're joking, right?
After filming the variety show, they stayed at the hotel booked by the production team and then flew back the next day.
Xu Chun had just finished showering and was drying his hair while making tea when the doorbell rang. He went to open the door and saw Xie Jianyuan standing there.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Jianyuan smiled slightly and looked at him, saying, "Brother Chun, would you like to go for a walk with me? I heard there's a night market nearby."
