Mini Game

Perhaps the previous squat hug gave fans some confidence, which is why they are raising this question now.

The cookie game—those who know, know—is generally used to bring together young couples in the early stages of a relationship.

Thinking about the specific gameplay of this game, Ye Qing's face flushed.

Gu Ze intended to refuse. Although he wanted to use the method of creating a romantic pairing to gain some benefits for himself, he couldn't go too far at this stage.

Just as Ye Qing was about to refuse, his answer clearly reached everyone's ears, "Y-yes."

Gu Ze was somewhat taken aback, but he concealed it well, and no one noticed.

Ye Qing's idea was simple: if the goal was to create a romantic pairing, then there should be intimate gestures, and he could overcome that a little.

For the sake of work, for the sake of work, he silently encouraged himself.

Since Ye Qing agreed, Gu Ze had nothing more to say.

The two stood together, waiting for the staff to bring up the cookies. Seeing the blush on Ye Qing's face, Gu Ze took off his microphone, leaned closer to Ye Qing, and said, "You can refuse if you don't like them."

Ye Qing followed suit, saying, "We're promoting a CP (couple pairing), so we should give them some perks."

[I'm just a little unaccustomed to it.]

However, this is not a big problem.

"So, do you want to eat it or bite it?" Gu Ze continued to ask.

Ye Qing understood what he meant, "I... I think I'll stick with my current place."

The staff were quick; they brought up the cookies as soon as the two had finished discussing it.

The cookie wasn't big, only about the length of a finger. Since they had agreed on it beforehand, Ye Qing quickly bit off one end of the cookie.

The scene fell silent as the two prepared to begin, with even the fans who wanted to scream covering their mouths.

After Ye Qing secured it, Gu Ze didn't hesitate and lowered his head to take the other end into his mouth.

Because of the slight height difference between the two, Gu Ze had to bend down slightly.

The biscuit wasn't long, and as Gu Ze moved closer, the distance between them suddenly shortened, causing Ye Qing to blink uncomfortably.

Gu Ze carefully nibbled on the biscuit and slowly moved forward. His eyes, which should have been looking at the biscuit, were fixed on Ye Qing. Looking into Gu Ze's eyes, Ye Qing inexplicably felt that Gu Ze's gaze seemed to want to devour her.

[It's an illusion, it's an illusion.]

Gu Ze carefully bit off the cookie, and the two got closer and closer, even able to feel each other's breathing. The blush on Ye Qing's face gradually spread to her neck.

As the distance drew closer, Ye Qing could only watch Gu Ze's movements.

To be honest, Ye Qing found Gu Ze's good looks very pleasing to the eye. Some people might look greasy when they do the same movements, but Gu Ze doesn't.

The distance between them grew closer and closer; perhaps just a few more bites would be enough for them to kiss.

Even if something were to happen, Ye Qing knew her heart rate would skyrocket.

[Ugh, it's all because Brother Gu is so handsome! Who could resist having his face so close?]

But at this moment, Gu Ze stopped moving. Seeing the undisguised embarrassment on Ye Qing's face, Gu Ze knew he should stop.

Since the fans didn't specify any length requirements, Gu Ze stopped eating and casually pinched off a bit of the side he had already bitten off, while Ye Qing finished the rest of the cookie.

After it was over, Ye Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[It's finally over.]

He could feel himself sweating from the heat.

As soon as the two finished, the entire audience erupted in cheers, which lasted for about a minute before gradually quieting down, though the smiles on their faces lingered for a long time.

The two didn't agree to play the games that were suggested later; some things need to be done in moderation.

The first promotional campaign ended with a result that satisfied everyone.

However, Ye Qing had some doubts that she wanted to discuss with Gu Ze, so the two of them went back in the same car.

"Brother Gu, do you think we're deceiving our fans?"

"Our actions, everything we did was acted out. Wouldn't that be deceiving our fans?"

"No." Gu Ze was very calm about the question. "There are countless couples in the entertainment industry who create on-screen couples. We're not the most special one."

Gu Ze looked at the scenery flashing past the window. "Besides," he said, "Perhaps it's not a deception after all."

Ye Qing didn't understand what he meant, and Gu Ze didn't explain it to him either.

As long as Gu Ze believes this is not a deception, Ye Qing will not dwell on it.

The publicity campaign was clearly a success, especially with Ye Qing and Gu Ze trending on several hot search lists.

"Ahhhh, is this some kind of CP (couple pairing) promotion? This is the first time my Brother Gu has ever done this."

"Really, I'm sure, this is the first time my Brother Gu has ever played a game like this with someone."

"Mom, these two's fans are so lucky!"

"I want to announce to the whole world that we're eating so well, there's just too much sugar!"

Numerous video clips featuring the two have surfaced online, with one photo particularly going viral.

In the photo, Ye Qing is standing while Gu Ze is slightly bent over. It's a screenshot of the moment Gu Ze stopped moving. The cookies between them have been photoshopped out, making it look like they're kissing.

The tall man tightly concealed the treasure in his arms, not allowing anyone to covet it.

To be honest, after watching some of the clips, even Ye Qing felt that there was an unspeakable relationship between her and Gu Ze.

Editing is harmful.

"I don't care, they're kissing."

"Ahhh, my favorite couple kissed!"

Of course, there were also some negative comments.

"Who is this person who keeps trying to ride on my Brother Gu's popularity?"

"My Brother Gu the only one who's beautiful."

The most serious issue is that one netizen has been constantly criticizing Ye Qing, and his comments can be seen under every single one of her Weibo.

Ye Qing had a good attitude and pretended not to see any of this.

Ye Qing became famous, and invitations for various book projects came one after another.

Just as he was considering whether he should take a break, his friend called.

The call connected to a wailing, wailing voice. "Qing'er, please save me!"

"Tsk, son, are you trying to summon my soul?"

"Sigh, how can you talk to your father like that?"

Ye Qing's face darkened. "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

The voice on the other end of the conversation suddenly became obsequious, "It's like this, I'm thinking of doing a variety show recently, and I was just wondering if you had the time. You're so popular now, so just think of it as helping me gain some viewership."

Ye Qing didn't immediately refuse, "What variety show?"

"It's a travel variety show that takes time to gain popularity, and it's a family travel variety show."

"You know my family situation..."

"I know, but why don't you ask your aunt and uncle? Maybe they'll want to go this time."

"Qing'er, please~".

"Please don't do this, I'm scared."

"How many people have you invited so far?"

The voice on the other end suddenly sounded a little embarrassed, "You're the only one here."

Ye Qing: I give up!
