Why are you being so distant with us?
[Is there anything our esteemed Internet Emperor can't see!]
[Tell me the truth, did you cover the camera because you didn't want us to see your bodies, or were you planning to use this time to do something naughty with your husband?]
[Family, I suspect Xie Linchuan and Shen Xingcan are secretly kissing when we're not looking.]
[Shut up, shippers! This is so annoying!]
After covering the camera lens, Shen Xingcan turned to Xie Linchuan and asked, "Will you go first or should I?"
Xie Linchuan: "... Can't we go together?"
Shen Xingcan replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, a lone man and a lone man can't be together."
Xie Linchuan, puzzled, "So we weren't alone together last time?"
Shen Xingcan's lips curved slightly. "Yes, but this time is different from last time."
Before Xie Linchuan could ask Shen Xingcan what was different, Shen Xingcan leaned close to Xie Linchuan's ear.
"You were quite upright last time, but this time... I'm afraid you'll take advantage of me."
Shen Xingcan's voice was very low, so low that only Xie Linchuan could hear it.
Xie Linchuan stared intently at the smiling person before him. After a long while, he suddenly raised the corner of his lips slightly. "Your vigilance is indeed very reasonable."
Shen Xingcan snorted.
We're all men, who doesn't understand whom?
[What's so reasonable about being wary? Did Shen Xingcan just say something to Xie Linchuan?]
[Blocking the camera is one thing, but you even lowered your voice?!]
"Wear a bathrobe; judging by the weather, it looks like it's unlikely to clear up today."
Shen Xingcan stared at the dark sky outside for a few seconds, then decisively made a decision that would make her more comfortable.
He reached out and pulled out a bathrobe.
Xie Linchuan glanced at it only once before decisively saying, "Change it."
Shen Xingcan blinked, looking puzzled. "Why do I need to change? Didn't you pick this one out for me? Besides, this one is much longer than the other robes, which will be more convenient."
"..."
It was long, but the back was covered in sheer fabric that was barely visible.
Seeing Xie Linchuan fall silent, Shen Xingcan pressed on. "I want to wear it, and if you don't want me to wear it, why did you choose it for me?"
Xie Linchuan: "... Wear a coat over your clothes."
Shen Xingcan honestly replied, "I only have one coat, and it would look strange to wear that coat on the bed."
What kind of decent person would wear a denim jacket to bed?
Xie Linchuan tossed one of his shirts to Shen Xingcan.
Shen Xingcan pulled the shirt off her head and then looked at the black shirt in her hand. "I don't have a chance to wear my boyfriend's jacket, so I can only wear my arch-rival's jacket."
Xie Linchuan: "..."
[Is Shen Xingcan wearing Xie Linchuan's clothes?]
[Hey Xie Linchuan, can't you hurry up? If you don't, you'll have to keep up this reputation forever.]
[Aaaaaah, hurry up, I need to see it!]
[What's so exciting about this? Haven't you ever worn your bro's clothes before?]
"Okay, turn around, I need to change my clothes."
Xie Linchuan turned around as instructed.
Shen Xingcan drew the curtains and quickly began to change his clothes. If it weren't for wanting to say something suggestive to Xie Linchuan, he would have changed long ago, since having his pants mostly soaked was not a pleasant feeling.
He quickly took off his wet clothes and put on the white bathrobe.
"Alright."
Xie Linchuan turned around and saw Shen Xingcan's beautiful back, which was almost dazzlingly white even under the thin veil.
Shen Xingcan quickly put on his coat, then turned to look at Xie Linchuan, seemingly oblivious to the gloom in Xie Linchuan's eyes. "It's your turn. Go change your clothes."
As he spoke, he consciously opened the curtains a crack and began to observe the world outside the window through that crack.
Xie Linchuan quickly changed his clothes, wearing casual home clothes, which made him appear more gentle than he had during the day.
Shen Xingcan commented on Xie Linchuan, "Although you're handsome now, I still prefer how you look in a suit. It's a pity you hadn't joined the company when we had our falling out, so I mostly saw you in suits on various social media platforms."
There are very few people who can wear a suit well, but Xie Linchuan is one of them. He has a tall and straight figure, and he looks particularly imposing in a suit.
Xie Linchuan: "I'll wear it when I get back and show it to you."
Shen Xingcan scoffed, "Tch, who cares?"
[I strongly suspect that these two have forgotten about us by Daming Lake.]
[You've changed your clothes, why haven't you removed the camera lens yet?]
After humming Xie Linchuan, Shen Xingcan picked up the novel he had placed on the small table and nestled casually on the beanbag chair next to the large bed.
After several days of hard work, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan's wooden house is no longer as bare as it used to be. There is now a small table and a large beanbag chair.
Shen Xingcan flipped to the page she had seen yesterday. Just as she was about to continue reading, she felt a sinking sensation at her feet. It turned out that Xie Linchuan had sat down next to her.
"This novel is really good. I'll give it to you after I finish reading it. You can read this first."
"Good."
[They've already fallen for novels? These two have really forgotten about us!]
[@A A Fruit, find a staff member and ask them to show the camera.]
[I want to see Xingcan Meow Meow wearing her husband's jacket! @A One Fruit!]
[I know you two are inseparable, but at least care about whether we live or die.]
Ten minutes later.
Shen Xingcan, who was reading a novel, finally realized something. His expression turned serious. "... Xie Linchuan, it seems we've made a very serious mistake."
Xie Linchuan frowned at Shen Xingcan's serious expression. "What?"
Shen Xingcan: "We forgot to show the camera."
Xie Linchuan: "... I'll go get it."
As he spoke, he stood up, lifted the shirt covering the camera, and adjusted the live stream camera to a height suitable for filming the beanbag chair.
The audience members who had been locked in the small dark room for more than ten minutes were almost moved to tears.
[Thank goodness, the couple finally remembered us.]
[Where's Xingcan? Where's Xingcan? I want to see Xingcan!]
Shen Xingcan sat up on the beanbag chair and looked at the camera apologetically. "Sorry everyone, I forgot about the camera."
The excessively large black silk shirt hung loosely on his body, the wide-open collar revealing the round neck of the milky white bathrobe underneath. The extreme contrast in colors made his exposed skin appear almost reflective.
His slender waistline was perfectly outlined by the bathrobe, and he nestled comfortably and lazily on the sofa, like a beautiful cat that had stolen its owner's clothes and was taking a nap.
[Ouch, that's spicy!]
[@Xie Linchuan, hurry up and confess your feelings, otherwise you'll only be able to look at this beautiful and fragrant wife but not touch her.]
[He was consumed by lust.]
Xie Linchuan quickly sat back down next to Shen Xingcan.
Shen Xingcan shifted his body, changing from sitting on the sofa to lying down, and naturally put his feet on Xie Linchuan's legs.
As he continued flipping through the novel in his hands, he politely explained his actions to Xie Linchuan: "The sofa is too short, could you lend me your legs?"
Xie Linchuan looked down at the pair of feet that had appeared on his legs. The ankles were slender and pale, the toes were round and small, and the nails were a faint pink.
He averted his gaze and refocused it on the book in his hands.
[You just casually put your feet up there like that? Aren't you afraid he'll go berserk?]
[The way Xie Linchuan looked at Shen Xingcan's feet just now... tsk tsk, it's reasonable to suspect that if the two of them got together, Shen Xingcan would be covered in hickeys.]
Don't portray our Best Actor Xie as some kind of lecherous monster!
After flipping through a few more pages of the novel, Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan and asked, "If the rain keeps going on, how are we going to have dinner?"
He didn't eat a proper lunch, only a few biscuits and two eggs. He felt he would starve to death if he did the same thing in the evening.
Xie Linchuan: "The production team should take care of it. Are you hungry?"
Shen Xingcan: "Would the production team be that kind? I'm not hungry, I just wanted to plan ahead."
Xie Linchuan: "The production team might let us redeem it using points."
Shen Xingcan propped her head up with her hand. "The production team could also be generous and give us some food for free."
"The probability of that is extremely low."
Shen Xingcan muttered, "... Fine, anyway, we can eat with my second brother after we get to France, so spending a few points now isn't a big deal."
Xie Linchuan: "Once we decide which city to go to, I'll have my secretary apply for the flight route, so don't worry about not having enough points."
Shen Xingcan exclaimed dramatically, "Wow, Best Actor Xie is so generous! He actually arranged a private jet for the entire crew!"
Xie Linchuan: "No arrangements were made for the entire crew; they're just benefiting from your fame."
Shen Xingcan stood up and looked Xie Linchuan up and down with an expression as if she had discovered a new continent. "It's all thanks to me... Xie Linchuan, when did you become so eloquent?"
Xie Linchuan for a moment before asking, "... Was I really bad at talking before?"
Shen Xingcan nodded vigorously. "... Well, let's not even talk about a long time ago. Take this recording of the show, for example. Do you remember what you said when you first saw me?"
Before Xie Linchuan could speak, Shen Xingcan mimicked Xie Linchuan's reaction upon first seeing him, her brows furrowing deeply, her eyes icy, and her tone unfriendly. "What are you doing here?!"
Xie Linchuan: "... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
Shen Xingcan rolled her eyes. "Weren't you so arrogant back then? If you had the guts, question me. If you had the guts, then don't apologize."
He holds grudges very long!
Xie Linchuan: "I'm incompetent."
Shen Xingcan: "Hmph, I can't be bothered arguing with a bastard like you."
He lay back down and, quite inappropriately, slipped his feet inside Xie Linchuan's clothes.
"Frozen feet."
Xie Linchuan opened his coat and then carefully wrapped Shen Xingcan's feet inside.
[Cats hold grudges, hahaha.]
[Second brother is in France... Shen Xingcan really is Empress Shen's youngest son.]
[When there's reasonable suspicion that the two are being intimate, Shen Xingcan will suddenly blurt out, "What are you doing here? Hahaha."]
[A private jet? The film crew is living the good life thanks to our Crown Princess.]
[Outside, it's pouring rain. Imagine snuggling up on a soft, warm sofa with your loved one, reading a novel—just thinking about it makes me feel blissful.]
[I am truly happy.]
Shen Xingcan flipped through the novel in his hand, then yawned. He put the novel down and looked at Xie Linchuan sitting at his feet. " Xie Linchuan, I'm sleepy."
Go to bed.
I want to sleep here.
Xie Linchuan: "It won't be comfortable sleeping here."
Shen Xingcan rejected Xie Linchuan's suggestion again. "No, it's more comfortable to sleep on the sofa on a rainy day."
Xie Linchuan didn't say anything more. Just when Shen Xingcan thought he had successfully persuaded the other party and closed his eyes in peace, he felt his feet being placed on the sofa.
Shen Xingcan was somewhat displeased as his feet touched the cold air again. Before he could even open his eyes, he was suddenly lifted up from the sofa and carried horizontally.
Shen Xingcan opened her eyes. "What are you doing?"
I'll carry you to bed.
The sofa was only a few steps from the bed, and before Shen Xingcan could say anything more, Xie Linchuan had already put him on the bed.
Shen Xingcan glared angrily at Xie Linchuan: "..." How dare you Xie Linchuan, disobey my orders! I already said I wanted to sleep on the sofa."
Xie Linchuan said calmly, "Take off your shirt, cover yourself with the blanket, and then go to sleep."
Shen Xingcan: "... You're just replying randomly after I've already read your message."
"Um."
Shen Xingcan: "... Xie Linchuan, you're really awful!"
"Ugh, I'm awful."
Shen Xingcan: "..."
It's like punching cotton – a feeling of utter helplessness.
As he spoke, Xie Linchuan covered the camera lens.
[No, he's still wearing his bathrobe, what's there to cover up?]
[It's strange that Xingcan was already wearing a bathrobe, but her husband still insisted she wear a coat.]
[Judging by appearance alone, this bathrobe looks perfectly normal, and it's quite long, so there's absolutely no risk of it showing too much skin.]
[I remember now, comrades! Isn't this the robe with the entire back made of sheer fabric? The camera focused on this one when we were choosing robes last time. It looks very proper from the front, but the back is made of very thin sheer fabric.]
[ Shen Xingcan, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Wearing that thing in front of Xie Linchuan?!]
Shen Xingcan reluctantly took off her shirt and then lay there spread-eagled.
Xie Linchuan adjusted the camera to a different position, focusing on appreciating the world outside the window.
[What kind of unpleasant angle is this? We want to see the bed! We want to see Shen Kitty on the bed! Not the torrential rain outside.]
Xie Linchuan: " Xingcan and I will rest for a while, and everyone can enjoy the rainy scenery."
Shen Xingcan yawned, her peach blossom eyes misting over. "Good afternoon."
"Yes, good afternoon."
Xie Linchuan pulled the thin blanket over Shen Xingcan.
Shen Xingcan moved her pillow closer to Xie Linchuan, then lifted a corner of the thin blanket and covered Xie Linchuan with it as well.
After doing all this, Shen Xingcan lay back down on her pillow and closed her eyes.
Shen Xingcan slept very well. When he opened his eyes again, the heavy rain outside was still continuing. If it weren't for the clock on the wall, he wouldn't have even noticed the passage of time.
