In the end, Shen Shuangjian personally put the ring on Xie Jinghui.
At that moment, Shen Shuangjian lay on the bed, his body limp and lifeless. Even when Xie Jinghui spoke to him, he just stared blankly at Xie Jinghui, and tears silently fell from his eyes.
Xie Jinghui's heart softened completely. He gently kissed Shen Shuangjian's lips, comforting her tenderly while guiding her hand to put the ring on his finger.
Shen Shuangjian hated being dirty, so once he had calmed down a bit, Xie Jinghui took him to the bathroom to shower, changed his clothes himself, and carried him back to bed.
Exhausted, Shen Shuangjian fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow. He curled up on his side, his brows furrowed unconsciously, as if he hadn't quite recovered from the reaction he had just experienced.
Only after seeing that Shen Shuangjian sleeping soundly did Xie Jinghui turn around and go to the bathroom. The sound of water continued for nearly two hours before gradually subsiding.
The show has resumed airing, and the controversy has reignited. At 6:53 PM, the show's official Weibo account issued another statement.
[ Real Life v: Due to personal reasons, Xie Qingchi has withdrawn from all subsequent recordings of Real Life. See you again someday.]
The Weibo comment section remains active.
[You've left the palace three times, Xie Qingchi, you're really something else!]
[His uncle and aunt are so inseparable, participating in this show is like a honeymoon for them. It would be impolite for him not to leave.]
[Further details: In the new teaser released by Xie Group's official Weibo account, Xie Qingchi, a staff member of the New York Blueprint, has been publicly identified.]
[You've been exiled to the frontier again, Your Highness.]
[ Xie Qingchi, the most tragic prince in history. In novels, princes in the Beijing social circle are all powerful and arrogant, but in reality, princes are treated like cattle, exiled at will.]
[He may be arrogant and domineering, but he doesn't have connections to the highest levels.]
[This is the difference between a crown prince and an emperor. Lacking real power is a terrible situation. A crown prince can be replaced at any time, but there can only be one emperor.]
[Usurp the throne, Xie Qingchi, you're going to usurp it!]
[I support Xie Qingchi focusing on his career; he's simply not suited for dating, nor is he suited for being too much in the public eye.]
[Because he's not tactful enough, not likeable enough, and stuck in the middle, caught in the middle.]
[This story teaches us that those who are overly simps and admirers never have a good ending.]
[Actually, Xie Qingchi is quite a pity. He initially posted that Weibo because he was a proud and arrogant young man, but fate played a trick on him, and he fell in love with Shen Shuangjian at first sight.]
[Therefore, love is not pure, and hate is not complete. If there were a pill to undo regrets, he would drink the whole bottle without hesitation.]
[ Xie Qingchi not be bad, it's just that there are already excellent examples before him.]
[If this were a novel, Xie Jinghui were the other protagonist, it would be a thoroughly sweet and indulgent romance novel. If Xie Qingchi were the other protagonist, it would be a bittersweet self-conquest novel about chasing after one's wife. But alas, reality is not a novel.]
[And Yu Sheng, in every story, is always the devoted second male lead, right?]
[Because being a simp never ends well; he was too obsequious and lost his own charm.]
[It could also be because Yu Sheng isn't Shen Shuangjian's type; you never know what first impressions are.]
[ Old Huizi is so pretty, while Yu Sheng is like a tender melon vine, no fun at all.]
[The same question Xie Jinghui: "Put aside your pride, why are you with me?"]
[ Shen Shuangjian: I can't let it go.]
[This is hilarious, hahaha!]
[ Xie Jinghui: Put aside your pride...]
Shen Shuangjian: Let's not talk about it.
[ Old Huizi should be secretly delighted. Our Shuangjian our baby likes older men without even realizing it. Otherwise, with so many handsome men out there, he wouldn't stand a chance.]
[I'm not getting involved in these things anymore. It doesn't matter who Shuangjian's wife chooses in the end; he's the protagonist of his own novel, and whoever he chooses becomes the male lead.]
When Shen Shuangjian woke up, it was already past ten o'clock at night. The weather wasn't cold; even at night, the sea breeze was warm.
Xie Jinghui opened the window to let in some fresh air. When she looked up, she saw him sitting in a single chair by the window, looking down at the book in his hands.
By the dim light from the window and the dim light inside, his deep-set eyes were lowered, his slender fingers ran through the thin pages of the book, turning them over and then gently closing them, gentle and calm.
Perhaps noticing the subtle rubbing sounds on the bed, Xie Jinghui his book, his gaze gleaming faintly.
"Woke up."
Shen Shuangjian propped herself up, looking somewhat listless and silent, but even though Shen Shuangjian's demeanor seemed a bit indifferent, Xie Jinghui didn't seem to care much.
He placed the book on the table; the cover was neatly arranged, and the print was very clear.
Xie Jinghui got up and leaned against the bedside. She took off the hairband from her left wrist, gathered Shen Shuangjian's long hair, and gently wrapped it around twice to tie it up.
"Have something to eat. It was just delivered and it's still warm."
Having spent a lot of time together, Xie Jinghui knew exactly when Shen Shuangjian resting. He had someone bring over the dinner that Shen Shuangjian hadn't eaten half an hour earlier.
The current temperature is just right—warm, not scalding—so Shen Shuangjian can eat it right away.
"I just saw a sofa that would suit you perfectly."
While Shen Shuangjian was eating, Xie Jinghui sat opposite him, occasionally saying something and waiting for Shen Shuangjian's response.
"Um."
However, Shen Shuangjian rarely responded; he would only reply occasionally while eating.
"How about we put him in our house?"
Xie Jinghui's words Shen Shuangjian, who had been eating with his head down. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he stopped what he was doing.
That's right. Shen Shuangjian hadn't thought of it before. In his limited understanding, once lovers got together, they would have a home that belonged only to the two of them.
It has nothing to do with family; it's about two people who had no connection before, but who, after becoming lovers, started a completely new home.
A warm home that belongs only to you and your partner.
Shen Shuangjian did not answer, Xie Jinghui spoke up himself.
"I chose a warm white carpet for my home, so that even if it gets dirty, I can change and wash it immediately."
"How about getting a pet? A cat, or a dog, but if you don't like that, then forget it."
Xie Jinghui seemed to be looking forward to a new home, and his words forced Shen Shuangjian's mind to construct many new images.
These images stirred unknown emotions within Shen Shuangjian, causing the coldness in her eyes to gradually melt away without her realizing it.
This feeling was an emotion he had never experienced before, and it was called a sense of belonging.
Shen Shuangjian pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and answered Xie Jinghui's question, "Don't raise it."
Xie Jinghui sat opposite him. Hearing Shen Shuangjian's words, a dense itch rose in his heart, softening his heart and causing him to slightly curl his lips.
Xie Jinghui gently cupped her fingers together, her gaze tender.
He said, "Okay, whatever you say."
