[Mr-Shen-]
[Holy shit hahahahahaha Sister Xie is a legend]
[This show has made me a terrible person. My first reaction to this was to laugh. Someone save me]
"Help him! Hurry, help him!"
"Aaaaaah, Mr. Shen!!"
Human joys and sorrows were not universally shared.
After Shen Yeqing was rescued, Xie Mi lost her scooter privileges and joined the injured Shen Yeqing in the car.
A bandage wrapped around Shen Yeqing's head gave him the look of a delicate, sickly pretty boy, yet his smile shone like the stars.
"Nice driving, Teacher Xie."
"Sigh."
Xie Mi sighed mournfully. For once, she had nothing to say. She took a Band-Aid from her pocket and stuck it over the scrape on the back of Shen Yeqing's hand.
She applied it carefully, only to look up and find Shen Yeqing staring straight at her.
His already captivating eyes held a hint of something she couldn't understand.
But a second later, it melted into a gaze full of laughter.
"Are you my guardian angel, Teacher Xie?"
"What do you think?"
"I hope so, but I also hope... you're not."
[Aaaaaaaaaah!!!]
[He hopes she isn't because he wants Old Xie's concern for him right now to be genuine, not part of the guardian angel game. Holy shit, this is such a beautifully tragic romance moment]
[He's so in love!!]
They soon arrived at the supermarket. As they were about to head inside, the flower shop by the entrance caught Xie Mi's attention.
She couldn't help remembering the wish Shen Yeqing had written on his slip of paper.
"Owww-my stomach hurts. Go in without me!" Xie Mi deployed her secret technique, the bathroom escape, and dashed into the restroom.
Only once they had all entered the supermarket did she slowly poke her head out, revealing a wicked smile.
[Here you go again, Xie Mi]
[Sister Xie smiles, and someone's fate is up in the air]
[Is she about to start her guardian angel mission? Can't wait!]
Ten minutes later, Xie Mi stood outside the supermarket in a mascot costume, holding a bouquet.
A guardian angel was supposed to watch over the other person in secret.
So if she wore a mascot costume to give Shen Yeqing flowers, she could show him she cared without being recognized.
Perfect.
A sudden patter of footsteps came from behind her. Before she could turn around, a kick sent her flying.
"Holy shit!!!"
Xie Mi crashed to the ground. Peering through a gap in the costume, she saw an imposing Snow King mascot standing right in front of her!
Wait!
She suddenly realized that the costume she had borrowed belonged to Luckin Coffee!
[Little Honey! Is that you, Little Honey?!]
[Holy shit hahahahaha what an iconic showdown]
[Nanhai local here: there's a Little Honey and a Little Luckin outside this supermarket, and their mascots beat each other up every day]
The Snow King planted his hands on his hips provocatively, then turned around and shook his huge butt at Xie Mi.
Enough was enough. Xie Mi sprang up and kicked him, then worked the costume's two stubby arms into a flurry of punches with a furious battle cry.
The Snow King got angry too. Grabbing Xie Mi's stubby arm, he threw her over his shoulder!
Xie Mi swept his legs out from under him, then stretched out both legs and locked him in a scissor hold.
The Snow King unleashed Bear Paw Strike, Cat Landing, and Whirlwind Kick!
Xie Mi countered with Scythe Sweep and Crow Takes Flight!
The employees from both shops abandoned their work and rushed outside to cheer on their mascots, throwing in psychological attacks for good measure.
Little Honey's employees: "Mixue Ice Cream & Tea is sweet, sweet, sweet! Luckin Coffee tastes bitter as defeat!"
Little Luckin's employees: "Drink Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, savor a life of misery."
Little Honey's employees: "Global warming is all Luckin Coffee's fault. They dug up every last ice cube in Antarctica."
Little Luckin's employees: "You've got a Mixue Ice Cream & Tea tapioca pearl up your nose."
[Stop fighting! Show Rui Xue Ka Cheng some respect!]
This was the scene Shen Yeqing emerged to find.
Two mascots were beating each other senseless on the ground while the staff from both sides furiously traded insults beside them.
"..."
His instincts told him that Xie Mi had to be involved in a scene this unhinged.
And unless he was mistaken, she was the Little Luckin mascot currently going to town on the Snow King's crotch.
Shen Yeqing took out his phone and ordered a hundred drinks from each shop. Sure enough, a second later, both sets of employees rushed back inside to work.
The Snow King was dragged back too.
Xie Mi remained sitting there, utterly lost now that there was no one left to fight.
Shen Yeqing lifted off the mascot's head, revealing a girl with beautiful, bewildered eyes and fair skin flushed from the heat.
A smile spread across his face, his eyes brimming with tenderness.
"It really was you."
Once Xie Mi realized what had happened, she smiled awkwardly. Holding a little flower in the costume's stubby hand, she offered it to Shen Yeqing. "For you."
His expression stilled for a moment. Those obsidian eyes instantly glistened, and he carefully put the flower away as though it were a precious treasure.
His smile dazzled in the sunlight.
"I love it."
[The sweetness is killing me!!!!]
[I thought I'd never see romantic chemistry from Teacher Xie in this lifetime, but this moment has completely won me over]
[Help, this is a god-tier moment of two people falling for each other]
[Director Niu, I declare that you've succeeded. I admit this is a dating show]
[These two have to stay together forever!!!]
After they finished shopping and returned to the beach, Qiu Chengye and Liu Woxing had also brought over all the rented equipment.
It was time to put up the tents.
Xie Mi was just about to roll up her sleeves and get to work when Xiao Jingxi brought over a chair and pulled her aside to sit down, then filled her arms with preserved plums and iced oolong tea.
"Just sit here. I'll handle it."
Xie Mi: "?"
She looked down at the things in her hands and frowned.
Xiao Jingxi, however, assumed she was touched. He smiled. "I guessed. I thought you might like these."
It dawned on Xie Mi.
The original owner of her body had dated Xiao Jingxi before, so he remembered some of her preferences. Preserved plums and oolong tea really were things the original owner had liked.
Xiao Jingxi couldn't reveal that they had dated, so he deliberately claimed he had guessed. But he knew she would understand, which was why he smiled so confidently, convinced he had her right where he wanted her.
Tsk.
What a poser.
She was about to toss the things onto the table when someone took them away first and replaced them with cola and chips.
Xie Mi's eyes lit up.
They were even her favorites: original Lay's and Pepsi!
Xiao Jingxi seemed to have found something to feel superior about and immediately said, "Fried foods and carbonated drinks are the easiest way to gain weight. She never eats these."
"Really? You know her that well, Best Actor Xiao?" Shen Yeqing smiled teasingly.
Xiao Jingxi paused, realizing he had let something slip, and hurried to cover it up. "I guessed. Actresses all have to watch their diets. I assumed she did too."
"Then you guessed wrong." Shen Yeqing raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze toward Xie Mi.
Xiao Jingxi looked over too.
Only to see...
Xie Mi happily alternating mouthfuls of chips with gulps of cola. She polished off a bag in no time, then raised her hand and shouted, "Another one!"
"Coming right up."
With an incredibly gentle smile, Shen Yeqing set an entire bag of snacks and drinks on the table, all of them Xie Mi's favorites.
