[This guy's methods are pretty clever... But actually, I'm also a little tempted.]
[A typical playboy persona. [Disdain]]
[But think about it, with only a few people in this room, Jiang Lele is actually the most suitable choice for him, right?]
[Indeed... Chi Li's side is too crowded, Xie Weishui just broke up (not really), so the only one he can choose is Jiang Lele.]
[After all this time, this is the first time I've realized Jiang Lele was so innocent...]
[A womanizer meets an innocent girl... you know, it sounds like a melodramatic plot.]
The two exchanged only a few words before Jiang Lele ran back to the living room.
Chi Li had just finished talking to Zhou Yu when she noticed him coming from the direction he had come from, and casually asked, "How were you feeling?"
He didn't particularly like Chen Anyan, but Zhou Yu was indeed, as he said, a little too enthusiastic in their conversation, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Therefore, I thought I should combine other people's opinions about Chen Anyan to make a comprehensive judgment.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Lele was horrified upon hearing this question, frantically waving her hands, "Haha, what... what feelings could I possibly have for him? I have absolutely no feelings for him whatsoever!"
Chi Li: "..."
This child has probably been fooled into thinking he's crazy.
"You, you..." Shen Qiang, as if looking at his own disappointing child, stepped forward and gently poked his head with his finger. "A few words and you've lost your bearings, haven't you? Can't you be a little more composed?"
"..." Jiang Lele didn't dare to resist, only secretly shrinking her neck further in, and promised, "I will be successful in the future."
Shen Qiang was exasperated. "... Fine, fine, I'll wait for the day you make something of yourself."
Shortly after the 1v1 chat ended, the official voting results for the members were released.
Fang Jin voted for Zhou Yu alone.
Jiang Lele, Xie Weishui, Wei Xuan, Shen Xunye then placed their votes on Chen Anyan's head.
Chi Li and Shen Qiang abstained.
Based on the combined votes from the audience, Chen Anyan won the right to move into the Raising House with an absolute advantage.
To celebrate the birth of the permanent member, the sponsors provided a lavish meal.
Even the dining table in the restaurant couldn't be fully placed; an extra section had to be added at the last minute.
Let's all welcome our newest member, Chen Anyan!
After a brief congratulation, we began the meal.
Chen Anyan took over Zhou Yang's usual seat, sitting between Xie Weishui and Jiang Lele.
"Actually, I was just about to ask that," Xie Weishui, who had been out of the public eye for the entire election, began to stir up trouble. "You said before that you came for someone, can you say who it is now?"
"This is my secret," Chen Anyan said, making a 'shh' gesture. "Besides, telling you would definitely put pressure on both of us, so it's better not to say it."
"That's true, I didn't think that through." Xie Weishui gave him an apologetic smile.
Chen Anyan's gaze swept naturally over the group opposite him before quickly returning to his own. "It's alright, I don't mind. Or, how about I tell you secretly later?"
Xie Weishui puffed out her cheeks, feigning displeasure. "Then the pressure is mine."
Chen Anyan echoed his words: "... That's true, I didn't consider that."
"..."
Jiang Lele pricked up her left ear to listen to Xie Weishui, Chen Anyan, and occasionally Wei Xuan joining in the conversation.
He listened to the conversation between Shen Qiang, Shen Xunye, and Chi Li with his right ear.
No one knew that, despite not uttering a word, he was actually incredibly busy.
Since these were "selected" members, no special welcoming ceremony was prepared for this occasion.
After playing two rounds of games at the dining table, Chen Anyan dragged his luggage to tidy up his dormitory.
Chi Li took the dog to inspect her vegetable garden, and when she turned around, she met Shen Xunye's mournful gaze.
"?" Chi Li handed him the dog leash. " Chestnut is getting stronger and stronger, I can't hold on much longer, you take over."
Shen Xunye obediently took it and stood close to Chi Li. "After thinking it over, I still feel that I've been wronged."
"Hmm?" Chi Li's brows furrowed immediately. "Injustice?"
He was pinned against the door and kissed, so disoriented that he lost all sense of time, and the one filled with anxiety wasn't him!
That's easy for you to say when you're not the one suffering!
"It's not that I don't accept the punishment," Shen Xunye quickly corrected his attitude. "What I mean is, could you consider that my circumstances might also warrant... a reduction in my sentence?"
Three days were just too hard to get through.
"Alright." Chi Li was quite agreeable. "Reduce the time by 5 minutes."
Shen Xunye: "..."
Shen Xunye: "Five minutes?"
Three days! 72 hours! 4320 minutes!
... Including 5 minutes in this context seems far too insignificant.
"Did you reduce it too much?" Chi Li asked back.
"Haha, not much, not much. Five minutes is enough." Shen Xunye didn't dare to say anything more; the less he had, the better.
[Pass it on, Shen Xunye only has 5 minutes.]
[If you only have 5 minutes, you should carry Shen Xunye away. [Smile]]
[Just out of curiosity, you can't even see them peeing, so why are you so concerned about the time?]
[↑This is being responsible to my wife! Anything my wife uses has to be of good quality!]
[So nobody cares why Shen Xunye was punished? And what was the punishment? 0.0]
[My wife is obviously fair and just. Why was he punished, and what was the punishment? It was all deserved by Shen Xunye! [Nods]]
[I also want to be punished by my wife. [Hot]]
Chi Li glared at him again. "I really need to control you."
It was because the Shen family catered to Shen Xunye's every demand that he later lost interest in everything.
Chi Li couldn't spoil this person like they did.
The satisfaction derived from obtaining something that cannot be easily acquired is at least several times greater than that from something easily obtained.
Not for punishment, but for Shen Xunye good, he also needs to control himself.
Otherwise, he'll probably lose interest in it soon and fall back into boredom.
"Alright then." Shen Xunye could only try to get a reduced sentence by showing a good attitude.
However, although the kissing privilege is temporarily gone, the privilege of engaging in bromance is still available.
"Well..." Shen Xunye didn't dare to make a decision on his own now, so he could only lower his head and whisper to Chi Li, "When can we sell some today?"
Fortunately, Chi Li did not reject this 'daily task' as well.
"Later," Chi Li, walking into the house. "I'll handle it."
Shen Xunye secured the dog with the leash and hurriedly followed. "Okay."
While everyone was enjoying sunflower seeds and listening to Shen Qiang talk about entertainment gossip, Chen Anyan had finished tidying up the house, came down with a large bag.
He stood quietly to the side, listening to Shen Qiang finish recounting the gossip about a male actor who slept with both a female and male director, before finally interjecting:
I've prepared some gifts for everyone.
