Make Shen Yan Leave

Quick quick quick! Left side left side, support support!

Coming coming, damn it, hurry up and eat that timer, good good good, start killing! Star, eat that star! Gorgeous!

In the villa.

Shen Yan and Bai Jing sat in front of the screen, frantically manipulating the game controllers in their hands and howling at the top of their lungs.

On the screen ahead.

A green tank and a yellow tank struggled wildly amidst the encirclement of a swarm of other tanks.

Yes, that's right.

The Little Tyrant Game Console, cartridge-based, classic 90 Tank Battle.

The two of them pulled off fierce operations like ferocious tigers, roaring and screaming in a wild slaughter.

Five minutes later--

Ah! The base got taken down!

Shen Yan let out a despairing howl.

Just as the wail ended.

A hand appeared above his head.

That hand, with palms carrying a slight, faint coolness, gave his head a gentle scratch before pressing down and giving his hair a good ruffle.

Call me big brother, big brother will help you play.

Pei Heng stood behind Shen Yan, smiling at him.

[??? What is this? Can the term big brother be used again now? Didn't you say this term is very intimate?]

[Is it possible, he only lets Shen Yan call him that! Shen Yan can be intimate? Hehehed!]

[Xie Li's fans, come out quickly, hurry up and come!]

[Damn, I said the jury is real! It's sweet to death!]

[Hoooohoooo! Let me see whose fans are having their defenses shattered~]

Pei Heng ruffled the top of Shen Yan's head, but his hand didn't leave, lingering right there in a light hover.

Shen Yan looked up, his hair brushing past Pei Heng's palm, and met a pair of smiling eyes.

Take your claws off my head! Do you take me for a dog? The game had just failed, and Shen Yan cursed and muttered.

Pei Heng withdrew his hand with a smile, his fingertips lightly grazing a strand of Shen Yan's hair, and then squatted down beside him: I am a dog.

[...]

[Love and non-love are really obvious now.]

[Shen Yan, that scoundrel, he must have gotten some leverage on Pei Heng to make Pei Heng act like this. It must be Shen Yan who made Pei Heng bully Li Bao, Li Bao is so pitiful.]

[Yes, yes, exactly, it was Shen Yan who made Li Bao eat Pei Heng's ice cream, blame it all on Shen Yan for using his mind control on Li Bao, are you happy now?]

Bai Jing covered her mouth, her two feet excitedly and frantically stomping little steps on the ground.

Ooh~

Turning her head to see Song Qianshan returning, Bai Jing bolted up and lunged forward, grabbing Song Qianshan's arm and hugging it tightly.

Using the softest whisper to say the most excited words: He made Shen Yan call him big brother! He even touched Shen Yan's hair, and he said he was a dog!

Song Qianshan smiled and flicked Bai Jing lightly on the forehead.

Just as she finished speaking, Lu Xingchuan walked in with a dark face.

Upon entering, he saw everyone on the first floor, with the sole exception of Xie Li.

Lu Xingchuan frowned, asking Pei Heng directly over there: President Pei, where is Xie Li?

Pei Heng had already picked up Bai Jing's controller, starting a new game with Shen Yan, and replied without even turning his head: I don't know.

Lu Xingchuan was dissatisfied: What do you mean you don't know? Weren't you out together with Xie Li today? You came back, and you don't know where he is?

Pei Heng paused the game, turned his head, and said to Lu Xingchuan: He called me big brother and wanted to eat the ice cream I'd already bitten. I felt that was quite inappropriate, so I very politely gave all my ice cream to him, and then he ran off crying. What can I do, it's not like I can go chase him.

Lu Xingchuan didn't react for a moment.

Call him big brother?

How could Xie Li possibly call Pei Heng big brother.

And how could he possibly eat ice cream Pei Heng had already eaten.

Pushing all that aside for the moment, Lu Xingchuan grew a bit anxious: He ran off, why couldn't you go chase him? What if he gets lost! He's not familiar with the place here, what if something happens to him, how can you be like this?

Pei Heng lost his patience: First of all, the production crew's staff members are following him, how could he possibly get lost? Secondly, why would I chase after him? Am I supposed to coax him? We're both men, why on earth do I have to coax him? What is with this squeamishness.

Dropping those words, Pei Heng turned back and pressed start on the game.

He told Shen Yan: Don't be upset, big brother will carry you to an easy win.

Bai Jing: Yeesh!

She opened her mouth and bit down hard on Song Qianshan's arm.

Song Qianshan instantly: Ouch~

[???]

[Go ahead and spoil him!]

[Is it really okay to be this openly double-standard?]

[Why wouldn't it be? You're supposed to be good to the person you like, and draw a clear line against the people you don't like. I think it's great.]

[Pei Heng thinks it's great, the audience thinks it's great, Xie Li's fans don't think it's great, hahahahaha!]

[What is the most pleasant sound in the world? The sound of shattering defenses!]

Seeing that Pei Heng and Shen Yan were already sitting shoulder to shoulder playing games together, Lu Xingchuan found the scene before his eyes grating.

Just yesterday, Shen Yan was still wagging his tail and begging for mercy in front of him like a dog.

To win a single glance from him, Shen Yan could even throw away his self-respect and kneel.

And now he was giving him the cold shoulder?

Was this some new trick he'd cooked up to win him back, or did he think that latching onto Pei Heng made him a big deal?

Glaring viciously at the back of Shen Yan's head, Lu Xingchuan turned and walked out, preparing to go look for Xie Li.

Just as he stepped outside, he ran into the director returning from outside looking exhausted.

Where are you going? The director drooped his eyes and greeted him casually with a question.

Lu Xingchuan said: Xiao Li hasn't come back yet, I'm going to look for him.

The director looked at Lu Xingchuan in confusion, then turned to a nearby staff member and said: Xie Li has been sleeping right upstairs, why didn't you tell Teacher Lu?

The staff member was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because Xie Li had told him that he and Lu Xingchuan had made a bet, the details of which weren't convenient to share, but begged him not to proactively tell Lu Xingchuan where he was.

If Lu Xingchuan asked, he could tell him.

But--

Lu Xingchuan hadn't asked him at all!

Now being reprimanded by the director, he could only offer Lu Xingchuan an awkward, sheepish smile: I forgot.

Lu Xingchuan frowned at him. Learning that Xie Li was right here in the villa, he let out a sigh of relief, though he didn't dwell on it, simply turning around and hurrying off to find Xie Li.

Second floor.

Tap tap tap.

Xiao Li, it's me. Lu Xingchuan stood at the door and knocked.

He knocked several times, but there was no movement inside.

He called his phone, but no one answered.

Could something have happened?!

What Pei Heng said earlier clearly implied that Pei Heng had bullied Xiao Li.

Could Xiao Li be having morbid thoughts...

Anxious, Lu Xingchuan prepared to go find the spare key to open the door--

Creak.

The door opened.

Xie Li's eyes were red, clearly having cried, and he stood at the threshold: Brother Xingchuan, why are you here? Did your date go smoothly?

I came to check on you, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Lu Xingchuan pushed the door open and walked inside: Why are you crying like this, did Pei Heng bully you?

Xie Li wept like a pear blossom drenched in rain.

Brother Xingchuan, does Shen Yan really hate me that much?

Can Brother Xingchuan make Shen Yan leave the show? With him here, I really can't film well. I just returned to China, and I'm counting on this variety show to secure my footing.

Would you let Shen Yan leave, please?
