Wen He's legs were trembling. Although her whole body felt weak, her mind was racing like fireworks... brilliant and beautiful.
So this is what kissing between good friends feels like.
Wen He's eyes crinkled at the corners, her entire body supported by Ji Chi's strong arm.
Ji Chi raised his hand and pulled the person into his arms, walking towards the bench in the distance.
Wen He smacked her lips; her mouth was dry and parched...
His fingertips were still trembling slightly as he tugged at Ji Chi's sleeve and softly said, " Ji Chi... I want some water."
"Hmm... wait a minute," Ji Chi half-squatted in front of him, burying his head in the crook of his neck and taking a deep breath.
The two had already walked deep into the pear orchard. He looked up at Wen He, his eyes no longer showing the arrogance and teasing of the past, but instead filled with tenderness and smiles.
"Are you coming with me or waiting here?"
"Let's go together..."
Her voice was sweet and gentle... which softened Ji Chi's heart.
Wen He jumped off the bench, grabbed Ji Chi's sleeve, and followed him back.
The two had completely different mindsets when they arrived and when they left.
Wen He stared at the ground with her head down, her ear tips so red they could drip water, her mouth still numb and sour... but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
Ji Chi slowed his pace, humming a cheerful tune.
What's this? They've already kissed, aren't they already a couple?
It was Little Wooden Head who initiated the kiss... Does that mean he likes me too? Well... why would he kiss me if he didn't like me?
The two walked back together, Ji Chi put the person down under the shade of a tree and went to a stall in the distance to buy two bottles of coconut water.
He inserted the straw into the bottle and held it to Wen He's slightly swollen lips.
The two had been out for a while; it was time for them to go back.
Ji Chi put his arm around his waist, and the two walked back together. Many people were still sleeping on the deck chairs.
Duan Yueyang had just come out of the restroom when he bumped into the two of them.
" Xiao He ~", he jogged over to the two of them.
Ji Chi gave the other person a smile, clearly in a good mood.
Duan Yueyang:?
"You're awake?" Wen He asked, looking down and sipping her coconut water.
"Hmm, are you still going to sleep? Let's go play in the sand!"
"Okay," Wen He, remembering the castle she hadn't finished that morning, and followed the other person to the distant sandy area.
Ji Chi bought some small tools from a nearby stall, and the three of them squatted on the ground and started playing in the sand.
Duan Yueyang noticed Wen He's reddened eyes, but he didn't ask anything.
Oh... and those swollen lips, plus Ji Chi's smug expression... it's obvious what happened at a glance.
It's not that he's never dated before; he's just curious about this show. Could they date privately?
But these are not things he should be thinking about.
He shoveled wet sand and slowly began building the wall.
The photographer, being quite perceptive, followed them to take pictures, but he didn't approach the three of them directly; instead, he positioned himself at a distance.
[As expected... no one, regardless of age, can resist playing in the sand.]
[Including Ji Chi and Xie Zhengci ]
[Actually, President Xie Ji Chi is alright; he seems like someone who knows how to have fun. But I really didn't expect President Xie to be so childlike on the surface, despite his impeccable appearance.]
[It makes my heart melt, Xiao He is so cute~]
Wen He was busy building his courtyard house, while Ji Chi was building an Eiffel Tower next to him.
What is the connection between these two?
Eldest Young Master Ji would say, "I'll build it however I want."
Time passed by, the sound of the waves grew louder, and everyone woke up, lying in their chairs chatting idly.
Yun Li walked towards the crowd, carrying a bunch of fresh coconuts in her hands.
Jiang Yu, standing beside him, was holding two opened coconuts and drinking fresh coconut juice.
[Poor Yun Li, hahaha]
[Hakiri, you little rascal, even if you can't see the road yourself, you won't ask your wife for help?!]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! The contrast between these two is so stark!]
Seeing this, Xie Zhengci immediately stepped forward to help. Wen He washed the mud off her hands with seawater and took out her phone to take a picture of the small house he had built.
Two slender fingers appeared on the screen, making a peace sign.
It was Ji Chi's hand... Wen He pressed the shutter.
Several people in the distance were already calling to them.
Wen He smiled and jogged over, her ahoge (a stray hair on her head) fluttering in the wind.
" Xiao He, you seem to be in a good mood today~", Zhang Shengsheng handed a split coconut to Wen He.
"Hmm?" Wen He was a little confused as to why the other party would say that.
"I think so too, Xiao He, you smiled so many times today, and you still look full of energy right now."
"Is that so..." Wen He replied softly, her face flushed.
Duan Yueyang stepped forward to help him out, " Xiao He must be bored staying in the little house all the time, right? Besides, Xiao He is always getting hurt, so it's rare for him to come out and play, so naturally he'll be happy."
"Yes, that's it," Wen He nodded vigorously, her ahoge (cowlick) trembling.
Ji Chi flicked his fingertip and sat back down on the recliner.
The production crew hadn't arranged their schedule yet, so everyone chatted while holding coconuts.
Wen He lay back in the chair, opened her phone, and started searching on Weibo.
Do best friends kiss?
He quickly flipped through the list... most people were saying no, but a few said they had secretly kissed their best friend...
Was Ji Chi lying to himself?!
A feeling of being deceived quietly welled up inside me, but it subsided after I saw a post.
I kissed my best friend~ I love it~ Nannan
OP: Just thinking about helping each other out tonight is so exciting!! (lol)(lol)
1L: Are you two really good friends?
2L: Whose best friends actually kiss?
3L: Yes, of course I do! My girlfriends and I sometimes kiss on the cheek.
Reply: But you're all girls! That's different.
4l: The main character is gay! He's gay!
OP replied: Hehe, I've been found out!
Wen He tilted the phone screen to the side, turning it off.
Do best friends among gay men kiss? Ji Chi is definitely gay... otherwise why would he participate in a dating reality show?
Wen He thought about it again... He had once drawn two men kissing when he was drawing a sketch, and the customer at the time said they were brothers... and asked him to draw them as realistically as possible.
So it seems... Ji Chi wasn't lying to me...
What are you looking at?
Seeing the person staring Ji Chi at their phone, Ji Chi leaned closer.
"It's nothing..." Wen He suddenly covered her chest with her phone, looking visibly guilty.
If Ji Chi knew he didn't trust him... wouldn't he be heartbroken?
Ji Chi clicked his tongue lightly, somewhat dissatisfied, and scooped up a bit of coconut meat to feed Wen He.
Is it okay for couples to check each other's phones? Looks like I need to find some time to see what he's been doing behind my back...
