An Obsessively Protective Husband

The silver-haired boy wore the simplest outfit imaginable: a white T-shirt and black shorts.

He even had black flip-flops on, which slapped against his heels as he ran toward the filming location.

His freshly styled silver hair immediately fell into disarray, but with that beautiful face of his, even this outfit made him stand out from the crowd.

The foreigners around him kept turning to look, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

His features and bone structure were striking even abroad.

Before the foreigners could get more than a few looks at the boy, they spotted a casually dressed man strolling along behind him.

The man's black hair was swept back, his white long-sleeved sun-protection jacket zipped all the way up. He wore black shorts, both hands tucked lazily into his pockets.

[Seriously, why are they both so covered up?!]

[I just want to see some abs! What's wrong with that?! They're guarding against us like we're thieves!]

[They won't let us see any intimacy or any abs, and they still claim they aren't dating!]

[You two don't care about the cameras at all! Did you only come here for your honeymoon?! We have to scrape together every last crumb of sweetness! We need sugar too!]

Had Song Yunxing known what the live comments were saying, he would have wanted to pry open the shippers' heads to see what was inside.

The two stood beneath the canopy. Song Yunxing deliberately put some distance between himself and Shen Yanci, making sure no single shot could fit them both.

Shen Yanci's lashes stirred, and he casually stepped closer.

Song Yunxing moved another step to the left.

Shen Yanci's lips curved. Apparently intrigued, he took another step toward him.

Song Yunxing frowned and shifted another step to the right.

"Hey, hey! You two over there, stop playing around! You're out of frame!" Director Guo watched them with a complicated expression, vaguely feeling as if he had just been force-fed a fresh helping of PDA.

Song Yunxing turned his head, discovered nearly two meters of empty space beside Shen Yanci, and shot him a fierce glare.

Shen Yanci leisurely moved closer to Lu Yiyi. Only then did Song Yunxing reluctantly move a little closer to him.

Director Guo clapped his hands to get the guests' attention. "Good. You've seen the task cards, right? The first round involves water sports. There are four activities in total."

"Tandem kayaking, romantic tandem water biking, catamaran sailing, and romantic flyboarding. Just choose one and complete it."

"Of course, once one pair chooses an activity, no other pair can choose the same one."

Everyone looked toward the sea a short distance away, where all kinds of sporting equipment had already been prepared.

"Of course, ours is a democratic show, so discuss it among yourselves and choose your activities," Director Guo said with a broad smile.

None of the guests were fools. They all knew the director was throwing the problem back to them.

A dating show without conflict would be far too peaceful.

"Democratic? Xiao Hong! Didn't you say we could have all the fun we wanted?" Yu Wan smiled pleasantly.

"And aren't I letting you have fun?" Director Guo replied as though it were obvious. "All the fun you want! No working, no selling fruit. Aren't I considerate?"

"Hurry up and discuss it! The sun's too strong. I'm going to find some shade." Avoiding Yu Wan's gaze, Director Guo grabbed his rundown and made his escape.

Helpless, the guests could only gather to discuss it.

"I'm fine with anything except that flying thing." Luo An abruptly pulled his hand away from Lu Yiyi's and immediately made his position clear.

Lu Ran glanced at him. "Who isn't? I don't want to go flying either!"

In the end, they could only send one representative from each pair to decide with rock-paper-scissors.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Lu Yiyi stood quietly to one side, waiting for the results. Shen Yanci stood beside her without so much as looking at her!

She had the figure! She had the looks! Wasn't she better than that flat-bodied, scrawny chicken?!

Indignant, Lu Yiyi looked Song Yunxing up and down.

He was still keeping his shirt on. He was probably hiding rolls of flab underneath!

After several rounds, a miserable-looking Luo An faced Song Yunxing in the final showdown.

"Go easy on me, Song!"

He really didn't want to go flyboarding with Lu Yiyi! He had tried it before. Getting himself into the air was hard enough, and now he would have to bring someone else up too! Wasn't that asking for his life?!

"How am I supposed to go easy?" Song Yunxing asked blankly.

Standing to the side, Lu Ran happily fanned the flames. "Come on, come on! Rock, paper, scissors!"

Looking ready to meet his doom, Luo An closed his eyes and thrust out his hand.

He threw paper. Song Yunxing threw rock.

"Ah! Hahaha!" Luo An clutched his right hand in excitement and leaped into the air.

"Ahem. Well, sorry about that, Song. We'll pick first, then." Luo An couldn't hide the grin on his face.

"Sure." Song Yunxing nodded casually, as if finishing last didn't matter much to him.

The other two pairs had already taken tandem kayaking and tandem water biking.

Just as Luo An was about to choose sailing, Lu Yiyi, who had been quiet all day, spoke up.

"Luo An, why don't we go flyboarding? Mr. Song looks so frail. He probably won't be able to complete the task." Lu Yiyi looked at Song Yunxing with concern.

"I remember you used to love water sports. I'm sure flyboarding won't be hard for you either." Her eyes shone as she gazed at him admiringly.

Of course, Lu Yiyi had her own calculations. Sailing meant sitting on opposite sides, and it wasn't difficult. There would hardly be any opportunities for physical contact.

Flyboarding clearly involved physical contact. They might fall into the water, but Luo An did exercise regularly, so it probably wouldn't be too hard for him. At worst, she'd swallow a little seawater a couple of times, and she had put on a full face of waterproof makeup today anyway.

She could promote their pairing, take a jab at Song Yunxing, and separate those two, all at once. Three birds with one stone!

"Come on, I..." Luo An's brows drew together slightly.

"Oh, sure. You two can go flyboarding." Seemingly oblivious to her insinuations, Song Yunxing said with complete sincerity, "I didn't realize you were so nice."

[Ding! You've been officially friend-zoned~]

[Xingxing: Wait, I get that lucky?]

[Looking at it this way, Lu Yiyi isn't targeting Xingxing. She's actually pretty decent.]

[Please, Xingxing just hasn't caught on yet! She practically said he has a terrible body!]

Lu Yiyi thought, Is something wrong with him?! Can't he tell I'm insulting him?!

"Come on, let's pick sailing. Your hair will get wet if you fall in," Luo An coaxed kindly.

"But Mr. Song is so skinny. He clearly doesn't work out much and has no core strength. What if he can't complete the task?" Lu Yiyi deliberately raised her voice, sounding delicate and vulnerable.

She was wearing a mic, and they were all standing together. How could anyone fail to hear her?

Song Yunxing finally caught on to what Lu Yiyi meant. Just as he was about to retort, Shen Yanci broke with his usual behavior and spoke first.

"Just make your choice! Any more nonsense and you can forfeit! Stop wasting time."

The man's gaze was icy as it swept over Lu Yiyi.

"If you're so concerned about other people's bodies, why don't you lose some weight first?"

Lu Yiyi froze, her face suddenly flushing crimson.

"Sorry, sir! We'll take sailing! We'll get going!" Luo An pressed a hand to Lu Yiyi's shoulder and forcibly led her away.

Their voices continued as they receded into the distance. It was hard to tell whether they were arguing.

[Hahaha, Shen Yanci, you've got such a vicious tongue!]

[That was so satisfying! Finally, someone actually spoke up!]

[That woman is always making snide remarks. Good for him for snapping back!]

[He can't stand seeing Xingxing get bullied! Turns out Shen Yanci is an obsessively protective husband~]
