Sincere Advice

Xie Li's expression immediately stiffened.

After a brief moment of awkwardness, he smiled. "I just saw you working so hard here and wanted to come help. Shen Yan is busy playing games, so he doesn't really have time."

[Oh my god, I'm a Xie Li fan, but even I can smell the strong tea stench.]

[Li-baby is just being kindhearted. Someone plays games instead of helping and gets praised, while someone who wants to help with chores gets called tea? Are you sick?]

[Then I can only wish for you to be surrounded by kindhearted people like Xie Li!]

Pei Heng set down the vegetable leaves he had only half washed and turned to look at Xie Li.

Xie Li knew exactly what his strengths were.

He immediately blinked his big eyes, looking adorably playful. "I'm very good at washing vegetables. I guarantee they'll be spotless."

Pei Heng said, "All the ingredients for our group were found by Shen Yan. Some were found when he climbed onto my shoulders to reach the flower rack, and some were found when he crawled through a dog door. He put in a lot of hard work.

"As for why he's playing games now, it's only because I didn't want everyone to accuse me of living off him. I begged him to go play."

[What is Pei Heng doing? Oh my god! He's being possessively protective of his husband! Fuck! So sweet!]

[I declare that the Jury is the sweetest couple! No objections accepted!]

[Jury? Hahahaha, that works! Pei-Shen Ship!]

[Pei Heng is such an asshole. Li-baby is so well-behaved, why is he being so hostile?]

[Because President Pei doesn't like tea, hahaha! Die mad about it!]

Amid the jubilant flood of comments, Xie Li looked at Pei Heng in shock and hurt.

Pei Heng had actually embarrassed him so thoroughly in front of the cameras.

Shen Yan must have said a lot of bad things about him.

Xie Li wore an aggrieved, embarrassed expression. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else by it. I only wanted to help, but I'm not very good with words. I didn't expect to make President Pei angry. I apologize."

Usually, when he said something like that, the other person would give him an out.

Pei Heng was very considerate too.

"Then don't speak in the future. That way, you won't expose the flaw of being bad with words."

[Hahahaha, great idea!]

[Xie Li was the one who said he was bad with words. President Pei merely followed up on that and gave him a sincere suggestion. Xie Li fans, don't start throwing tantrums. It's ugly!]

[Lu Xingchuan, what are you doing? Xie Li is being bullied! Ahhh, I'm so mad!]

Amid the clamoring comments, Lu Xingchuan sat down beside Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was at a critical point in his game.

Lu Xingchuan reached out and snatched the game console from Shen Yan's hands. "Can we talk?"

Shen Yan was utterly stunned.

He glared furiously at Lu Xingchuan. "Give it back."

Holding the game console, Lu Xingchuan's voice was cold and laced with disgust. He turned off his mic and warned Shen Yan, "We're all filming the same show. I don't want things to get too ugly, but you'd better know when to stop.

"Do you really think that saying a few bad things about Xiao Li and me in front of Pei Heng will get you what you want?

"Paper can't wrap up fire! Be careful not to get burned playing with fire."

Shen Yan: ...

His crossed leg shot straight toward Lu Xingchuan's face.

"Lu Xingchuan, I gave you face, didn't I!"

Before Lu Xingchuan could react, a bare foot kicked him, sending him stumbling backward toward the couch. Shen Yan grabbed a throw pillow and shoved it straight onto Lu Xingchuan's face.

"You stole my game console? I'll smother you to death!"

Shen Yan was over six feet tall. He straddled Lu Xingchuan, pressing the pillow firmly over Lu Xingchuan's face.

Lu Xingchuan felt as if he had returned to the car once more.

He experienced that suffocating sensation of being unable to breathe all over again.

He struggled desperately.

The staff were so frightened that they hurriedly called for the director.

The director was eating instant noodles. Hearing this, he quickly put down his noodle cup and rushed over.

"Shen Yan, what are you doing? Let him go!"

The director was terrified that Lu Xingchuan would struggle and struggle, then suddenly stop moving!

He was only filming a dating show.

Was that so much to ask!

The director's angry shouting alarmed the four people in the kitchen.

Pei Heng was the first to rush out.

Seeing Shen Yan straddling Lu Xingchuan, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Xie Li followed behind Pei Heng, looking shocked. "Shen Yan, what are you doing? You'll smother Xingchuan-ge to death like this. If you have something to say, say it properly."

Song Qianshan cast Xie Li a cool glance but said nothing.

Bai Jing asked anxiously, "How did he provoke you this time?"

Shen Yan ignored everyone.

Still covering Lu Xingchuan with the pillow, he raged, "Do you dare steal my game console again? Speak! Do you dare? Not talking, huh? Then you still dare. Watch me smother you to death!"

Lu Xingchuan: ...

Ahhhhh!

At least let me go first.

I can only answer after you let me go.

In the chaos, Pei Heng finally stepped forward and pulled Shen Yan off Lu Xingchuan in one sweep.

Shen Yan had been straddling Lu Xingchuan. Caught off guard when Pei Heng lifted him, his leg that had not yet touched the ground wrapped directly around Pei Heng's waist.

[Fuck, that hold is so spicy!]

[President Pei is seriously strong!]

[Ahhhhh, I can already picture it. My panties have flown away!]

[Jury! Do it for me!]

[What kind of trash are you people? Shen Yan is trying to murder a guest on the show, and you're here making filthy comments? Trash really attracts trash fans.]

Lu Xingchuan finally managed to breathe.

Humiliated and enraged, he flung the pillow off his face, jumped to his feet, and pointed at Shen Yan. "Is there something wrong with your head? Are you a mad dog—"

The furious curse had barely left his mouth when he saw clearly that Shen Yan was being held by Pei Heng.

Meeting Pei Heng's icy gaze, Lu Xingchuan's voice stalled.

The rage on his face still burned fiercely as he said, "He almost smothered me to death."

Pei Heng cast Lu Xingchuan a cool look. Seeing that Shen Yan was barefoot, he set him down on the couch beside them and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Standing on the couch with his hands on his hips, Shen Yan complained, "I was playing my game just fine when he suddenly came over and snatched my game console."

Lu Xingchuan said angrily, "I only wanted to talk to you."

Shen Yan looked as though he had heard something utterly ridiculous. "What kind of conversation requires you to act all high and mighty and snatch my game console without my permission? Did you want to beg me to share some food with you? Dream on! You're not getting even one bite!"

Lu Xingchuan was nearly furious to death.

Playing dumb, was he?

"Who wants your food!"

"You'd better not!" Shen Yan glared at him fiercely, then turned to Pei Heng. "I tried it fifteen times and still couldn't clear the level. I was just about to beat it."

Pei Heng ruffled his hair. "Mm. I'll help you beat it later. Go eat first, the food's ready."

[Oh my god, Pei Heng spoils him so much!]

[Pei Heng's voice is killing me!]

[Why exactly did those two fight? Their mics were both off just now, so we didn't hear the reason. But Lu Xingchuan really did suddenly snatch Shen Yan's game console.]

[Get someone who's level ten at lip-reading to analyze it frame by frame.]

[It was definitely because Shen Yan bullied Xie Li, and Lu Xingchuan came to seek justice for Xie Li.]

[Everyone in the livestream saw it. You can take medicine recklessly, but don't talk recklessly. Tell me, at what point did Shen Yan bully Xie Li? Starting with one picture and making up the whole story, huh?]

[No matter why, Shen Yan's attitude of fighting whenever he's unhappy is so handsome. I like it.]
