Want to Kiss

In the end, despite Shen Ranxin's reasoned arguments, Director Chen...

still declared the day's labor results for Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi's team to be zero. They narrowly beat Gu Yifei and Cheng Cheng's team, who had earned a mere 20 points, and proudly claimed last place.

The team that earned the most rewards naturally went to Fang Yu and Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye was still dazed as he received the legendary ultimate gift pack.

His skin was very pale, almost translucent, so anything showed easily on his face. His entire face had been red since he and Fang Yu shot the couple's poster, and he still had not recovered.

Generally speaking, a heat was a sign that an omega was about to go into heat.

Jiang Ye had personally injected Fang Yu with suppressants. Even then, Captain Jiang had not been this awkward.

Speaking of which, after graduating high school, Captain Jiang had taken a leave of absence from university to become a professional esports player. The esports world was practically Alpha territory. Teammates had to eat and live together to build rapport, and since it was a competitive sport, nearly everyone in the industry was an Alpha.

It was forbidden territory that omegas could not enter, so Captain Jiang had met very few omegas. The first omega he had ever gotten close to was Fang Yu, a seasoned playboy who had been navigating the entertainment industry for over a decade.

With his limited understanding of romantic relationships, what had happened between him and Fang Yu last time might have been an accident. But this time, Fang Yu had actually kissed him during the shoot.

Fang Yu's lips were soft and carried the scent of cherries.

At the time, he could not even tell whether it was the scent of Fang Yu's lips, or the scent of Fang Yu's pheromones that he had imagined.

After all, they had both been wearing the highest-grade pheromone blockers then. They should not have been able to smell each other's pheromones.

He had never expected Teacher Fang, who looked so open and easygoing, to be so soft when kissed.

When Fang Yu pushed him away with reddened eyes in the end, he had still not reacted.

Unlike last time, it had not been forced by the situation, nor had pheromones been at work.

This time, he had been awake and willingly fallen in. He had kissed Fang Yu.

Jiang Ye pursed his lips and turned to glance at Fang Yu, who was still chatting animatedly with Shen Ranxin nearby. He frowned slightly.

What was there to talk about with Shen Ranxin? Why had they been talking for so long?

How was he supposed to tell Fang Yu that he would take responsibility for him?

Fang Yu was ten years older than him. Would he accept him?

Jiang Ye seriously considered their future together. He was a rising esports star, while Fang Yu was already an award-winning actor famous across half the entertainment industry.

Still, he had at least one small advantage.

At least he was younger than the Alphas around Fang Yu...

"What's in this ultimate gift pack?" Shen Ranxin looked enviously and resentfully at the large box in Fang Yu's arms. "It can't be some five-yuan voucher for a high-end restaurant, can it?"

Fang Yu wanted to know what was inside too.

But this ultimate gift pack had been won by him and Jiang Ye together, so he still had to ask Jiang Ye what he thought.

So he turned and nudged Jiang Ye with his elbow. "Can I open this package?"

Jiang Ye's mind was filled with the lips Fang Yu had been talking to Shen Ranxin with just now.

His natural lip color was actually quite pale. The stylist had only applied a thin layer of clear lip gloss, making them look like cherry-blossom-colored jelly.

Possessed by some strange impulse, Jiang Ye replied, "Want to kiss."

Fang Yu paused, confusion appearing on his face. "What?"

The next moment, Jiang Ye finally came to his senses. He turned away, avoiding Fang Yu's face and the camera. "Nothing. Open it if you want... I-I'm going to the bathroom."

Fang Yu turned to Shen Ranxin and asked, "What did he just say?"

Shen Ranxin frowned in thought for two seconds, then answered with complete confidence, "Fellow folks. He was greeting the folks watching in front of the camera!"

[One dared to ask, and one dared to answer.]

[Who else could you ask? Why did you have to ask that blockhead Shen Ranxin! Captain Jiang clearly said celery! He wants to eat celery!]

[Hey, are you and Shen Ranxin branches from the same tree?]

[Enough. I refuse to believe Teacher Fang, with such high emotional intelligence, didn't know what Captain Jiang meant. He deliberately asked Shen Ranxin!]

[Poor Captain Jiang, getting played right in the palm of Teacher Fang's hand.]

Fang Yu actually knew what Jiang Ye had meant. He had deliberately asked Shen Ranxin.

That iron tree that had never bloomed in ten thousand years—anything involving love or romance would probably vanish the moment it touched him.

He had probably cultivated the Path of Heartlessness as an elective in his previous life.

President Lu still had a long and difficult road ahead of him...

Fang Yu happily used Shen Ranxin's words to dodge that awkward moment, then opened the ultimate gift pack.

As expected, the production team did not disappoint. This so-called ultimate gift pack was a three-day, two-person trip to Lovers' Island worth seventy thousand yuan.

Fang Yu: "..."

He knew Director Chen, whose mind was full of romance, would not give them anything good.

The biggest romance addict on this show had to be Director Chen!

Shen Ranxin gloated, "You're happy again, Teacher Fang."

Fang Yu paused, glanced at the punishment card in Shen Ranxin's hand, and said sarcastically, "Teacher Shen, why don't you first take a look at what punishment is written on your card? You might end up happier than me."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

As expected of an old hand who had spent over a decade in the entertainment industry. He really knew how to stab someone where it hurt.

Shen Ranxin flipped over the card in his hand as if facing death--

The camera zoomed in, quickly revealing the punishment written on it.

Go to Heartbeat Manor and retrieve the red string needed for tonight's Red String Match.

At first glance, it seemed simple. But this so-called "Heartbeat Manor" was actually a haunted house built to satisfy Director Chen's twisted obsession with the suspension bridge effect.

This haunted house had never been open to tourists. Only a handful of players who could afford the exorbitant fee had experienced it.

So far, not a single person had come out without crying and screaming that they would never go in again.

Instant Heartbeat had spent a fortune creating this haunted house. It had once been hailed as the scariest haunted house in the world, bar none.

It was said that if a couple entered it together even once, as long as neither of them abandoned the other and ran off alone, they were definitely true love!
