Xu Wang pressed his advantage. "Try sitting right in his lap and saying it while acting cute."
Standing behind Xu Wang, Pei Yanchuan lowered his eyes at Xu Wang's suggestion. Suddenly, he felt a flicker of anticipation for the rest of the game, too.
"Give his sleeve a gentle tug while you say it," Qin Huai added, adjusting his glasses.
After hearing his wife's suggestion, Gu Yunlan looked at Hou Yunqi with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Xia Yu's expression said, You're really taking it that far?
After a moment of disarray, Xia Yu composed himself, turned, and walked over to Hou Yunqi.
Hou Yunqi only noticed a shadow fall before him before, a second later, he had a soft, warm body in his lap. He instinctively wrapped his arms around Xia Yu.
"Hubby~" Xia Yu gently caught Hou Yunqi's sleeve, making his voice even softer than before.
Under the dark camera lens, Hou Yunqi's muscles visibly tensed. The number on the heart rate monitor beside him jumped straight from just over 100 to 120, and kept climbing.
Seeing this, the director blew his whistle with a beaming smile, and the timer instantly stopped.
Sitting in Old Hou's lap, Xia Yu could clearly hear his heart beating in his chest.
"It's really fast! But a little slower than when you confessed to me," Xia Yu said thoughtfully, rubbing his chin.
With a helpless expression, Hou Yunqi reached up and stroked the top of the head of the man in his arms. He had only been twenty when he confessed, still in college. Of course his heart had raced when he formally confessed to the person he liked for the first time.
He still remembered being so excited the night Xia Yu said yes that he hadn't slept a wink.
