"That won't do," Shen Qiang immediately defended her fan, "Don't ruin my fans' chances."
Jiang Lele: "(●ˇ∀ˇ●)"
He buried his head in the bowl with a blissful expression and chuckled to himself.
After the meal, everyone consciously returned to the poker game area.
Chi Li poked out a crooked little cloud dog. Once the task was complete, she breathed a sigh of relief and tossed it into Shen Xunye's arms.
"For you."
It's too ugly. I don't want to keep it for myself, and I don't want to embarrass myself by giving it to a fan, so I can only give it to Shen Xunye.
Shen Xunye held the cloud puppy up to his face, a pleased smile spreading across his face like a parent admiring a child's drawing. "Yes, it's mine."
[Look at Shen Xunye's worthless smile.]
[Haha, it's like even if Chi Li poked a poop on a puppy, he'd still spoil it endlessly.]
[↑It's just a fact; this person clearly loves her more than Shen Qiang. [Winking emoji]]
Shen Qiang just couldn't bring himself to argue with the younger generation in front of the camera. [Sigh]
[Actually, I'd really like to see a love triangle.]
"Alright, you guys keep poking, I need to go practice my voice." Chi Li waved her hand and left the poking game group first.
Shen Xunye subconsciously wanted to get up and follow, but immediately sat back down in his chair.
"Not following along today?" Shen Qiang teased him with a smile, holding the puncture needle.
"I received a gift." Shen Xunye picked up the cloud-shaped puppy, shook it, and then quickly put it away in his pocket. "Of course, I'll make a return gift to send back."
Shen Qiang scoffed, "... What's there to brag about? It's like nobody else gave me gifts. Lele, are you planning to give them to me later?"
Thinking of giving away the pop-up lottery to her fans, Jiang Lele lowered her head guiltily. "... Mmm."
Shen Xunye rejoined the conversation, his head bowed and his focus much more intently than in the morning.
After practicing her voice, Chi Li went to the dance studio and danced for a while.
While resting and watching the video against the wall, Shen Xunye came over.
Besides the hastily drawn cloud-shaped puppy, he was also holding a small cow-shaped cat that he had just made.
"A return gift." He handed the little black and white kitten to Chi Li. "I hope you won't mind."
Chi Li glanced at the noticeably more refined calico cat in her palm and let out a soft snort. "I suspect you're looking for trouble."
He glanced at the picture next to him when he was playing the puzzle game.
The finished product of Shen Xunye is exactly the same as the picture!
If he's disgusted by it, then what is his cloud puppy? Humph.
"I'm glad you don't mind." Shen Xunye affectionately patted the cloud-shaped puppy and sat down next to Chi Li. "You have rehearsal with someone tomorrow night, can I go?"
"What are you going to do?" Chi Li asked casually, stroking the little black and white kitten.
"I want to see a celebrity," Shen Xunye replied casually. "I've never seen a real celebrity before."
Although he couldn't even remember the names of the celebrities who recorded songs with Chi Li.
Chi Li couldn't help but laugh, " Shen Qiang, such a big star, is sitting in the living room, and you're saying you've never seen a real star before?"
People who don't intend to be involved in such circles are the ones who dare to speak their minds.
Shen Xunye: "... He doesn't count."
Having been around since childhood, with absolutely no mystery surrounding them, what kind of celebrity are they?
"So, those we've already met don't count, right?" Chi Li specially came to his rescue. "Okay, then you can come with me to meet the celebrities tomorrow."
Shen Xunye gently shook the tail of the cloud-shaped puppy. "Mmm."
"But," Chi Li turned her head and earnestly instructed, "I'm not familiar with her, so you have to control your enthusiasm and not scare her away. Also..."
Shen Xunye stared at those red lips that were so close to his face, opening and closing incessantly, and his Adam's apple bobbed softly.
Chi Li's voice continued, but Shen Xunye didn't hear a single word he was saying.
"... Come with me." Shen Xunye suddenly reached out, grabbed Chi Li's empty wrist, and pulled him up.
"Hey—" Caught off guard, Chi Li stumbled as he was pulled. "Where are we going?"
Shen Xunye did not answer, and his steps quickened.
Not knowing where the blind spot of the camera was on the first floor, he simply dragged the person into the bathroom.
Chi Li finally managed to stand up, and just as she was about to speak, her lips were sealed with a kiss.
The kiss was light and slow, like a feather, gently and tentatively landing on Chi Li's lips.
It felt warm and dry to the touch, carrying the clean scent of Shen Xunye.
After about two seconds, he stepped back slightly.
"You..."
"I want to kiss you." Shen Xunye interrupted Chi Li, sounding rather aggrieved. "The day is almost over, and we haven't even kissed once. What happened to our promised kissing buddies?"
Chi Li: "..."
He did agree to be a kissing partner, but it shouldn't have happened so suddenly.
Who knows what those viewers are saying about them now?
But when Chi Li thought about how Shen Xunye had been a boring person for over ten years, she could understand.
Who didn't crave a new toy for a few days after buying it as a child?
Once he's had enough of the sensations of kissing, he naturally won't be in such a rush to want more...
"Kiss me."
Chi Li tilted her head back slightly and even closed her eyes without being taught.
His entire face, along with that section of his fair and delicate neck, was exposed to Shen Xunye's gaze and breath.
He's waiting.
He obediently tilted his head back, waiting for Shen Xunye to kiss him.
This realization nearly triggered all the excitement in Shen Xunye's body; he could almost hear the sound of his blood rushing through his veins.
He firmly supported Chi Li's neck and pressed his lips against hers.
He then took Chi Li's lower lip into his mouth and gently sucked on it.
Her tongue darted out, tracing the soft lines of his lips little by little, gently prying open his slightly parted teeth, slowly and firmly penetrating deeper.
Unlike the previous two kisses, Shen Xunye's movements this time were slow and patient, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, or as if he was savoring the moment.
At first, Chi Li stiffly and passively endured it.
But gradually, in the slow and deep licking, under the soothing fingertips stroking the back of his neck, his tense body softened little by little.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but when Chi Li felt the air in her lungs was about to be squeezed out and began to protest slightly, Shen Xunye slowly backed away.
Their lips parted, leaving a brief, ambiguous trail of saliva before quickly breaking.
"So good." Shen Xunye raised his hand and used his thumb to wipe the corner of Chi Li's swollen and moist lips. "... A good, obedient baby."
The words "good boy" came out of his deep, sensual voice, without any hint of teasing, but rather like a statement of fact.
"... What nonsense are you shouting?" Chi Li's eyes widened.
Ever since he was weaned, no one has called him "baby" anymore!
Has Shen Xunye lost his mind?
