Shen Xunye's throat bobbed, a surge of thirst rushing to his head.
He grabbed a glass of water and gulped down two mouthfuls before he could finally regain his composure and reply.
: What's the meaning?
I don't usually see you posting under the same roof.
[Puppy baring its teeth. jpg]
This one isn't clear; let me take a few more.
After sending the message, he adjusted his breathing posture, afraid that Shen Yu would notice anything unusual.
After waiting for more than twenty seconds without receiving a reply from Chi Li, Shen Xunye became somewhat anxious.
... Could they really be filming?
No, no, he only has 5 minutes, we need to hurry and say a few more words.
: Wife QAQ
Let's take the photos later. I only have 5 minutes to rest, let's chat for a bit.
Are you feeling a little strange not having a goodnight kiss?
I miss you too. [kiss]
I waited another ten seconds or so, but still no reply.
Shen Xunye began to feel anxious.
He flipped back through the photos, first saving them, then zooming in to the maximum size to examine them inch by inch.
Soft black hair, innocent eyes like a doe's, a small, pert nose, full, rosy lips...
There were also two faint pink spots peeking out, overlapping, fair and fleshy thighs, and slightly curled toes...
Four words popped into Shen Xunye's mind.
--Vibrant and fragrant.
His fingertips hovered lightly over the screen, slowly moving along the curves of Chi Li's body in the photo.
Even though there was a cold glass screen between them, he could almost feel the warmth of the skin, its delicate texture, and the life force that rose and fell slightly with each breath.
Shen Xunye's breathing gradually became heavier.
He hurriedly exited the photo interface and returned to the dialog box.
Chi Li still hasn't replied.
... very good.
He had a feeling he wouldn't get a reply today.
Chi Li, that wicked man, is deliberately seducing him.
Let him see it, but not be able to eat it.
Shen Xunye pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and typed with much more force.
You can just let me go hungry.
Don't blame me for not warning you.
When you're hungry for a long time, you'll definitely eat ravenously.
Please prepare some delicious food for me. ^_^
See you tonight.
Chi Li slept until half an hour before the live stream. He quickly got ready before picking up his phone and seeing the message.
More than an hour after Shen Xunye," she cleverly posted a picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath.
Chi Li saved and enlarged the image to admire for a while, then replied to Shen Xunye, "This is good quality, how much is it per night?"
They'll bring it to my room tonight.
After replying, he turned off his phone, humming a little tune happily, and went out.
[Honey! We haven't seen each other all day, I miss you so much. [Sad face]]
My wife seems to be in a good mood. Did she enjoy our date yesterday? [Winking face]
[Hmph, that brat Shen Xunye really got off easy.]
But where did Shen Xunye go?
[Oh my god, the production team just released an announcement saying that Shen Xunye is leaving the show immediately!!]
What does that mean?
[I'm a little confused. Can someone explain this to me? [scratching head]]
[Could it be that the two have already confessed their feelings for each other, but the show's production team doesn't allow office romances and one of them has to be fired?]
[↑This sounds reasonable and well-founded; I'm inclined to believe it.]
Even if they're together, there's no need to break up, right? Real couples are definitely more appealing to sell their relationships, aren't they?
[She's so happy about her CP leaving, did Chi Li stop selling BL content a long time ago? [Shocked]]
[Mom won't let you find another husband! [Fist pump][Crying]]
Various speculations emerged in the comments section, but so far they haven't affected Chi Li.
Chen Hao's plan to interview Shen Xunye failed again, so he could only drag Wei Xuan to a corner to watch him occasionally flirt with fans and then with various wealthy patrons.
Chi Li went to the dance studio and practiced dancing with the others for a while.
During the break, Jiang Lele slid to her knees in a cool (?) manner.
" Chi Li, where did you go yesterday?" he asked with some concern. "I didn't see your schedule online."
Chi Li thought for a moment and said, "We had a debate."
"Huh?" Jiang Lele was surprised but also deeply convinced. "You can do this too? Did you win?"
"I'd say it's a barely passable win." Chi Li dragged the progress bar on the tablet, pointing to a particular dance move. "I just glanced at it out of the corner of my eye, and you did a little off here. Let's do it again, and I'll adjust it for you."
Jiang Lele hurriedly got up, "Okay, okay, you're the best!"
Just as he straightened his clothes, preparing to show off his practice results to Chi Li, he was interrupted by Fang Jin suddenly walked over.
" Chi Li," Fang Jin said, holding her phone which she had just ended a call with, "The production team wants you to go back to your room for now."
Chi Li frowned. "...?"
The last time he was called back to his room was because Xie Weishui framed him and he ended up on a random, trending black topic.
Could it be this time too...?
But hasn't Xie Weishui been behaving herself lately?
Instead of turning back, he grabbed his phone and clicked on the trending topics.
Sure enough, he was involved in both the top two spots on the main leaderboard.
# Night Ashes Dawn #
#GodPoolCPSets Shen-Chi #
The third one is -- Shen Qiang, I knew you'd done something big behind our backs#
Chi Li: "..."
He seemed to be able to guess what had happened just from those three trending topics.
Jiang Lele, who had come over to watch together, subconsciously clicked on a trending topic with her idol's name on it.
Shen Qiang, I knew you'd done something big behind our backs#
From publicly declaring your feelings to mustering the courage to walk away in disappointment, everyone thought you and Chi Li would never cross paths again, but you were quietly working hard behind the scenes.
He finally overtook his rival on the bend, drove away his love rival, and won the heart of his beloved!
As expected, experience matters!
Congratulations!
Shen-Chi Set Sail#~!]
Jiang Lele was somewhat confused.
He clicked on the video that accompanied the blog post.
The video shows Shen Qiang and Chi Li leaving the hotel together, getting into the same car, stopping at the Raising House, and chatting happily at the entrance.
Of course, there's also plenty of pink filters, suggestive background music, and various shy little expressions.
Jiang Lele: "!!!!!"
His eyes widened as he looked at Chi Li in disbelief.
[So my wife's smile was because of Shen Qiang? [Bitter]]
[Alas, since ancient times, a wife who has shared hardship can never compare to a wealthy young lady with resources to help her rise in status...]
[ Shen Qiang is doing well too... but why can't I feel happy?]
I think I now understand the pain of being dumped so suddenly. [crying]
[The two went out together yesterday, and the forum generated quite a few romantic skits about their date, but I never imagined he was dating someone else. [bitter]]
[If you're going to choose Shen Qiang, why didn't you choose him from the beginning? Why wait until someone else has shown their true feelings before...]
[Wife, you've really gone too far this time. [frowning]]
