Chi Li slowly sat up straight.

He clearly sensed that Shen Xunye said those words... for his own sake.

[Is this subtly criticizing someone? It must be subtly criticizing someone, right? [Magnifying glass]]

[Is that even a question? Who brought up the topic of 'gifts for mom'? They really had malicious intentions.]

[The doting husband is online (?)]

[He's absolutely fiercely protective of his wife. It might not be obvious in the main livestream, but I can say with certainty from watching his personal channels simultaneously... almost as soon as the question was asked, he glared at Xie Weishui.]

[I was just about to say that this topic seems a bit inappropriate... but considering Chi Li's mindset and personality, I didn't say anything more.]

[The topic itself is quite natural, and it could be considered an unintentional mistake...]

[Ugh, so annoying! I usually love scheming beauties, but Xie Weishui's scheming feels so low-class...]

[First of all, you've made a mistake; she doesn't even qualify as a beauty. [Winking face] Pure scheming is never appealing.]

[If you guys hadn't pointed it out... I really wouldn't have noticed. [scratching head]]

There are just too many cute people online.

"Oh, right, oh, right." Jiang Lele gave Shen Xunye's answer a thumbs up, then said with annoyance, "Why didn't I come up with such a meaningful answer?"

His mother also taught a lot of truths when she was a child!

Although I probably don't remember any of them now... those very common principles can still be picked up and discussed.

"Haha, indeed." Wei Xuan, oblivious to the undercurrents in the room, kindly reminded him, " Chi Li, you're the only one left who hasn't spoken. You'll probably have a hard time coming up with an answer that surpasses Shen Xunye's."

Fang Jin glanced at Wei Xuan indifferently. "... Since you can't surpass him, then don't say anything more."

Just as Jiang Lele was about to join in and say no, she suddenly remembered that Chi Li had mentioned when talking about his background that his mother had abandoned him in order to marry into a wealthy family...

"Yeah, yeah, the game's already over, what's there to say?" Jiang Lele quickly chimed Fang Jin, trying to salvage the situation.

"... What's the big deal?" Seeing the two people trying to protect him, Chi Li suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He smiled dismissively, waving his hand dismissively, and said, "The best gift my mother gave me was bringing me into this world..."

After saying that, he clasped his hands together, cupped his face with the backs of his hands, and showed his face to the people around him. "And I came into this world looking beautiful!"

My wife is definitely a cut above the rest... (in a daze)

[Holy crap, how could you have framed Xie Weishui with that face!]

[My wife is so cute, it makes my heart melt.]

[Just dropping by from Chi Li's personal channel to say something. Actually, he didn't care about this malicious question at all. He only started taking it seriously when he felt protected.]

[My baby forged himself a sturdy suit of armor that can withstand any attack, so he probably never imagined anyone would stand in front of him, right? [Crying while covering mouth]]

[... Is there anyone who can save me from this urge to cry? [crying] I swore I would never let my eyes water again!!]

[↑Hey sis, haven't you realized you're the biggest Huang Zi yet?]

"She's really beautiful." Shen Qiang gazed at Chi Li's face with loving eyes.

"Wow..." Jiang Lele exclaimed with admiration, almost surpassing her idol worship. "As expected of you, you actually won."

Fang Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "You two are really... It was just a casual chat, but it ended up sounding so high-class."

"Ouch..." Shen Xunye stuffed a candy into Chi Li's hand, his smile becoming more genuine. "This answer was something I struggled to come up with, and I was hoping for a highlight moment, but it just vanished like that... Here's a bribe: if this happens again, remember to let me off the hook."

"You think you can bribe me with just one candy?" Chi Li tore open the wrapper, popped the candy into her mouth, and the sweet taste quickly spread throughout her mouth. "Dream on."

The seemingly harmonious scene among the group appeared like a needle looming over Xie Weishui's head.

I wonder when this needle will turn around and pierce me hard.

He couldn't understand why this person could so easily defuse every challenge he made...

No matter what Perfect does, in the end, it's all just a favor done for someone else, without the Perfect person getting any benefit in return.

Heaven has been incredibly kind to him.

... It's better to do nothing at all.

After taking turns enjoying the gifts brought by Chen Anyan and listening to Shen Qiang tell a piece of gossip from the entertainment industry, the live broadcast was about to come to an end.

The crowd dispersed naturally.

Shen Xunye hurriedly followed Chi Li's footsteps and coughed heavily.

That sound was saying—we haven't started selling bromance yet!

Chi Li understood his meaning, but he felt that he had already done a great favor by answering Xie Weishui's malicious question, so he naturally ignored his hint.

"I'm going to exercise later," Chi Li explained her upcoming plans. "You're free to do whatever you want."

This conveniently serves as an advertisement for sports watches.

"... What do you mean?" Shen Xunye's face was full of displeasure. "Didn't we agree on this?"

"It's finished." Chi Li quickly gestured with his hand to his chin.

Shen Xunye: "?"

Shen Xunye: "I don't agree."

Chi Li gave him a cool look.

That means if the fans approve, why shouldn't you?

Although he had no intention of playing the victim, it was obvious that his 'miserable' past, coupled with Shen Xunye's obvious protective attitude, would be a sweet treat in the eyes of CP fans.

After eating such a big candy, what flavor would a small candy taste like?

Shen Xunye felt incredibly wronged. "... Bad man."

They were so cooperative before, but now they're getting more and more stingy!

Chi Li: "..."

Chi Li: "... If you really don't agree, then come to the gym with me later."

He eventually softened and gave in.

[Bad Guy]

[Who can understand the chilling feeling coming from Shen Xunye's mouth? This should be Chi Li's line, right?!]

[This is such a contrast, I love it! [Evil grin]]

[You're so cute when you're naughty, don't you know? [winking emoji]]

[My wife is absolutely the bad man who controls all of Shen Xunye's emotions.]

[I really want to know how it broke! I request that Chi Li host a special Q&A session for fans!!]

[There are advantages to not knowing. For example, I've already thought of several ways Chi Li could be 'bad,' and I'll start writing about it as soon as the live stream ends! [winking emoji]]

[Please send me your ID, thank you.]
