The floating bed was white, shaped like an angel's outspread wings, and floated in the very center of the pool.
There was one problem.
"How are we supposed to get over there? Can you bring the floating bed over?" Jiang Yumiao asked.
A staff member replied, "The center of the pool is the designated location for this task. It can't be moved."
So the two of them had to get in the water and swim over?!
Jiang Yumiao looked down at the outfit he had so carefully put together today, then glanced at Ning Chunchi's elegant black shirt across from him.
He regretted it now. Bitterly. Why hadn't he changed before leaving? He had dressed up so nicely, only to end up soaking in water as soon as he arrived.
Ning Chunchi didn't seem to mind. While Jiang Yumiao was still hesitating, he jumped straight into the pool.
Seeing that even the second male lead had gotten in, Jiang Yumiao had no choice but to slowly slide into the water too.
Sorry, Amelia, for ruining the lovely outfit you put together for me-
The two swam to the center of the pool and reached the enormous white floating bed.
Its edges were slippery. Jiang Yumiao tried to climb on, but he had barely lifted one leg before slipping back down.
Now even Jiang Yumiao's upper body, which hadn't been completely soaked before, was fully submerged.
His pale blue Chinese-style shirt clung tightly to him, outlining the omega's lovely waist.
A closer look would even reveal a hint of soft pink.
Ning Chunchi watched Jiang Yumiao slip into the water, his gaze darkening.
His Adam's apple bobbed once, and he swam over to the omega.
Jiang Yumiao was making his second attempt to climb up when a large hand suddenly settled on his waist.
Ning Chunchi wrapped an arm around Jiang Yumiao's waist and lifted the omega onto the bed with barely any effort, then hauled himself up too.
Jiang Yumiao lay sprawled on the floating bed, still struggling to process what had happened.
The second male lead had just-just put his arm around my waist!!!
Jiang Yumiao's face flushed bright red in an instant, and his ears gradually reddened too.
His skin was already a cool, pale white, making him look all the more radiant now, like peach blossoms.
[Our little flop is blushing!!]
[President Ning is such boyfriend material. He lifted him with one arm!]
[Hahahaha, Yumiao's cooked all the way through-]
Watching the blush on Jiang Yumiao's face, Ning Chunchi's lips curved upward. He had just figured something out, and the gloom on his face had now vanished entirely.
This omega gets embarrassed far too easily. He turns this red from a simple hug. What will he do when we get more intimate later?
Jiang Yumiao crawled to the middle of the floating bed.
This floating bed really was a proper bed, complete with a raised pillow in the middle.
His hair dripping and his wet clothes plastered to his body, Jiang Yumiao sat in the middle of the bed and waited for the second male lead to come over.
I feel like someone waiting to be doted on...
Ning Chunchi slowly moved beside Jiang Yumiao and said softly, "Lie down."
He extended his strong, muscular arm again and pressed it against Jiang Yumiao's shoulder, drawing him down with him with a force that brooked no refusal.
In an instant, Jiang Yumiao was lying on his side on the enormous white floating bed, face-to-face with the second male lead.
His head was even resting on Ning Chunchi's arm.
Fortunately, there was still a little space between them, giving Jiang Yumiao room to breathe.
Little did he know that Ning Chunchi had deliberately left that space for him, letting him adjust first and taking things slowly.
Ning Chunchi had always been very patient.
He had already worked it out on the way here. Since Jiang Yumiao liked him so much, and he couldn't bring himself to reject him for now, he might as well treat Jiang Yumiao a little better and see just how far the omega would go for him.
A red gleam flashed in Ning Chunchi's eyes, like a wolf that had been starving for ages finally finding suitable prey. Then, afraid of frightening his prey, he suppressed his emotions for the moment and cloaked himself in human skin.
The drone flew shakily above their heads, clearly ready to shoot.
A staff member shouted from the distant poolside, "You can start! You two are too far apart right now. Move closer!"
Jiang Yumiao's mind was a mess. With his head resting on the second male lead's arm, his eyes were level with Ning Chunchi's pale lips, which held only a trace of color. Their smooth, beautiful shape was perfect for kissing...
Ahhhhh, what am I even thinking!!! Beauty is dangerous. Beauty is dangerous!!
"Ding-dong! Sorry to interrupt your intimate moment with the second male lead, host, but the system needs to issue a task. Please forgive the intrusion~"
The system's giddy electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Your fifth task is now being issued. Please actively cooperate with the second male lead to complete the dating show's photo shoot, then take him to the 'High-altitude rafting' attraction once the shoot is over."
High-altitude rafting? Isn't that the one Yu He and Qin Yuan are doing? Is there some hidden trick to that attraction? Why has the system singled it out?
Jiang Yumiao briefly closed his eyes. Never mind. He would finish the photo shoot in front of him first.
Wanting to speed things up, he inched toward Ning Chunchi's embrace.
Ning Chunchi lay perfectly still, watching Jiang Yumiao move into his arms bit by bit, though they were still slightly farther apart than the figures in the chibi drawing.
The prey has entered my territory. Time to hunt.
Ning Chunchi's free hand suddenly slid along Jiang Yumiao's waist and pulled him straight into his arms.
Jiang Yumiao crashed against the second male lead's chest, his hand meeting firm muscle.
Ning Chunchi leaned close to Jiang Yumiao's ear and said, "So slow."
His breath brushed the omega's ear, leaving him dizzy all over.
From the drone's overhead perspective, enormous white wings floated in the center of the clear pool. The two people lying on them were dressed in black and white, the tall alpha holding the long-haired omega firmly in his arms. The omega was flushed a soft pink, his head tipped slightly upward, their breaths mingling. Their soaked clothes added a hint of sensuality to the scene.
[Ahhhhhhhh-]
[The production team has done us every favor imaginable!!!]
[What genius thought of putting the floating bed right in the center of the pool so they'd have to swim over? Give them a raise!!]
[The tension is unreal, sob.]
[I approve of this marriage. This picture counts as their wedding photo.]
[Are you all blind?! How is this omega remotely worthy of Ning!!]
Amid a barrage of comments from viewers shipping them like mad, one discordant voice drifted past, quickly drowned in the flood of comments racing across the screen.
Inside an exceedingly luxurious manor, elaborate light fixtures cast a dim, cold glow. The room's owner was a baby-faced omega, yet he was currently glaring at the two people embracing on his phone screen and the blessings flooding the comments with an icy malice utterly at odds with his appearance.
Veins bulged on his hand. He wished he could crush the phone and drag the people out of the screen to tear them apart.
The alpha on the screen had never treated anyone with such intimacy.
Why? What right does this Jiang Yumiao, who appeared out of nowhere, have?
I'm clearly the best match for Ning Chunchi, in both looks and family background.
The Su Family behind me can help Ning Chunchi secure his position as the Ning Corporation's next leader. What can Jiang Yumiao do?
Su Cheng gave a mocking smile. "Ning is just playing around."
He was very tolerant. Romantic histories among the wealthy had always been complicated, and plenty of them changed bed partners every day.
As long as Ning Chunchi wasn't an idiot, he would choose a marriage alliance with the Su Family anyway. Su Cheng could accept him having a brief entanglement with someone else before their marriage.
He would wait for the day Ning Chunchi grew tired of playing with Jiang Yumiao and cruelly discarded him.
