Shen Xingcan declared fiercely, "Even if I have to dig up grass roots and gnaw on tree bark, I, Shen Xingcan, will never eat another bite of Xie Linchuan's cooking!"
Looking at Shen Xingcan's pretty, frosty face, Xie Linchuan rattled off a string of dishes. "For lunch, I'm planning to make duck with dried tangerine peel, blanched shrimp, corn with pine nuts, steamed pork belly with preserved mustard greens, and steamed leopard coral grouper."
Shen Xingcan showed plenty of backbone. "...I still won't eat it! Even if I starve to death today or jump off here, I won't eat it!!"
[You teased him until he got mad, huh?]
[Did anyone notice that all the dishes Best Actor Xie listed were ones Shen Xingcan mentioned yesterday?]
[I checked yesterday's livestream replay, and they really were all dishes Shen Xingcan mentioned yesterday.]
Looking at Shen Xingcan's still-sullen face, Xie Linchuan patiently asked again, "You really won't eat?"
Crown Prince Shen agonized for a while between the options of having some backbone and having a full stomach. In the end, he chose a full stomach.
"I'll eat if you beg me."
Xie Linchuan readily obliged. "Please."
Shen Xingcan gave Xie Linchuan a sidelong look. "Since your attitude is reasonably proper, I'll eat. But eating your cooking doesn't mean I've forgiven you. We're now the upgraded version of sworn enemies!"
[What the hell is an upgraded version of sworn enemies? A version where they're even more at each other's throats? Hahaha.]
[Best Actor Xie saying please with that cold face is such a contrast. Is this seriously not a fucking dating show?]
[I haven't thought there was anything romantic about this show from the start. Shippers see gay everywhere.]
[...Teasing him until he bristles, then coaxing him. Best Actor Xie has such a twisted sense of fun.]
[Knowing how to coax your wife is a required course for every good gong, and our Best Actor Xie is top of the class.]
[Such a beautiful friendship. A friendship between people who grew up together really is different.]
[They're already like this and you're still calling it a beautiful friendship? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei certainly weren't like this.]
[Isn't this just normal interaction? What's there to ship?]
With Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan working together, the hundred jin of mangoes were soon loaded onto the pumpkin cart.
Shen Xingcan got onto the cart and stopped Xie Linchuan from sitting with the mangoes. "Sit in the passenger seat."
He pointed to the tiny bit of room beside him. "Right here."
How to put it? Xie Linchuan could indeed fit into that little space, but he certainly wouldn't be very comfortable.
The front of this kind of cart was only suitable for one person, and neither Xie Linchuan's height nor his build could remotely be called petite.
"Why do I have to sit here?"
Shen Xingcan said, "Because that makes it easier for us to die for love together-for this love between sworn enemies who clash at every turn... Stop asking and get on! Why do you have so many questions!"
Desperate to come first, Shen Xingcan simply got off the cart and forcibly pressed Xie Linchuan into the spot beside the driver's seat.
Xie Linchuan's body inevitably came into some contact with Shen Xingcan's.
As Shen Xingcan moved, the hair beside his cheek lightly brushed Xie Linchuan's cheek.
A tingling itch spread across his face, and a rich, cool floral fragrance instantly filled Xie Linchuan's breath.
Because of his movements, a section of his slender, fair waist was inevitably exposed, so white it dazzled the eyes.
Shen Xingcan's profile was reflected in Xie Linchuan's dark eyes. Once, twice, several times in a row... accidental or deliberate...
After settling Xie Linchuan in, Shen Xingcan returned to the driver's seat. "Let's go, let's go!"
Watching the pumpkin cart recede, Jiang Yifeng shouted anxiously, "Yanzi, promise me you won't argue or fight! Promise me, Yanzi!"
