[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Sugar overload!!! Is the big shot not even trying to hide it???]
[As everyone knows, nobody dares force the big shot to do anything he doesn't want to, which means! He's doing this willingly! Aaaaaah, he just loves his wife!!!]
[Big shot, does this come with after-sales service? The marriage kind!!! If it does, I can ship you without worrying! I'm seriously shipping you, aaaaaah!!!]
[Even if it doesn't, I'm shipping them! Fuck, I'm going absolutely feral! How many years has it been since I shipped a CP this hard?]
[The last time was when the Double Jade Husbands were dating, right? Why am I increasingly convinced I've stumbled onto another real couple?]
[Hahaha, the Double Jade Husbands are watching CP videos too, right? I think I can even hear them.]
[Holy shit, look at Shen Huaian! Hahaha, why is he taking flight?]
Wen Jiu looked at Shen Huaian, at a loss for words as he clutched his phone, gnawed on a bun, and bounced around like a madman.
Then he couldn't help turning to look at the husbands nestled together on the stove-tending stool they had carried out of the little kitchen.
He really wanted to remind them that their video's volume was a little loud.
But after holding himself back, he chose instead to slap the man holding him from behind, whose chest was shaking with laughter.
"Laugh! Go on, keep laughing!"
"The whole country knows about your embarrassing business now!"
Tsk! How could he call it embarrassing?
Shen Huaian glanced back reproachfully at the man himself.
He saw Feng Chi pull Wen Jiu into his arms with a smile, even his hair swaying with delight. "How is it embarrassing?"
"Being tied to A-Jiu is clearly-"
"A happy occasion."
Wen Jiu froze, his face instantly turning scarlet.
For a second, he thought they were going public!
Happy occasion, my ass. Did this man have no idea how to rein it in?
"Aaaaaaaaaah, I'm losing my mind! I'll bring the marriage registration office right! Over! Here!"
After taking flight on the spot, Shen Huaian nearly fainted with happiness. He made to head outside and fetch the marriage registration office, but his last shred of reason won out over his frenzy.
He pattered over to the cameraman's lens and shouted, "Family, put 'double happiness' in the chat!!!"
The cameraman was laboriously gulping down a bun. Hearing that, he looked up at him in astonishment.
He couldn't understand how this kid had suddenly gone so crazy.
"Uh, the camera isn't on. How about you..." He pointed overhead. "Look up there?"
Shen Huaian followed his gaze upward and came face-to-face with a pitch-black lens.
"..."
[Hahahaha, this kid's drunk on shipping.]
[Was there booze in those buns? How'd he get this wasted?]
[Family, spam double happiness!]
[囍囍囍囍囍囍囍]
[They're just... married now? Isn't this moving a little fast? I'm kinda scared.]
[What's there to fear? Our CP moves fast, but they last! Guaranteed pure sugar and sweetness for life. Lasting CP is the fucking best!]
[Lasting CP is the fucking best!]

"Oh! Everyone's up!" The chief director, the latest riser on the entire variety show, finally arrived. "I could hear you all from next door. What's going on?"
As he spoke, he looked toward the two tangled figures with dark circles around his eyes. "Lasting's here too!"
Wen Jiu: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
What was wrong with this world?
"Ah, no... last..." Zhang Guozhong jolted. "Longingly waiting... you leave me here, longingly waiting..."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Several pairs of eyes turned toward him at once.
Zhang Guozhong: ...
Zhang Guozhong was practically sweating. With the men themselves staring at him, he could only keep singing. "It's your love I miss, it's your kiss I miss~"
"Well... pitch-black, gloomy skies, you leave me here, longingly waiting..."
The bullet comments were exploding with laughter!
[Hahahaha, mystery solved! The one who reposted Shen Huaian's Weibo was definitely this shameless director.]
[I can hear his CPU running at full blast through the screen. [lights cigarette]]
[I thought the chief director was so busy he'd have some young night owl managing the official account. Who would've thought? Tsk, tsk, tsk!]
[The chief director, seriously, I'm crying! Look how soulfully he's singing, how moving it is!]
[LMAO, this song kind of gives away the chief director's age. [doge]]
A few minutes later, after Yu Qing dragged him back with a dry, hoarse throat and he gulped down several mouthfuls of water, the chief director stood at the hand pump and washed his face with cold water.
Only then did he barely manage to cool his face down.
Picking up his planning notebook again, he finally looked a little like a chief director once more.
"Today's tasks are pretty demanding. This morning, we're going to help the villagers of Peach Blossom Spring Village with farm work in the fields-harvesting rice. In the afternoon, we'll split into groups to help out at the villagers' homes."
"Same rules as always: compete to finish the tasks first. The first group to finish gets a reward, and the last group gets a punishment."
"Any questions?"
Shen Huaian raised his hand. "Yes!"
The director gracefully lifted a hand. "Go ahead. What question does our little friend have?"
The little friend asked sincerely, "Who am I teaming up with this time?"
"..."
Good question.
The show's guest stars always came in even numbers. Shen Huaian had previously stuck with Yu Qing and his husband, and the netizens affectionately called him the "little light bulb" every time.
As luck would have it, he was the odd one out again this episode.
This time, the chief director harbored a private agenda. "You can stick with Las..."
Wen Jiu promptly shot him a dagger-like look.
The words slammed on the brakes at his lips and swerved. "President Feng and Wen Jiu."
The blades scraping his face slowly withdrew.
Shen Huaian cheered, "Yay!"
Lin Shuheng looked unhappy. When he had heard they would be doing farm work, he had assumed it was just for show. He hadn't expected the chief director to act so swiftly; he was already handing out sickles.
Lin Shuheng said, "Director Zhang, do we have to go right now?"
"When else?"
Zhang Guozhong's gaze was so blunt that he might as well have said "disdain" out loud.
Lin Shuheng looked at the man beside him. He didn't know what was going on with Li Peiqi either. His expression had been off since they returned last night, and now he hadn't made a sound even after hearing they would be harvesting rice.
Lin Shuheng could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Most of the crops in Peach Blossom Spring Village were farmed mechanically, but there were still scattered plots or land where machinery was difficult to operate.
Wen Jiu followed Village Chief Liu, looking as though he was listening very attentively to his introduction, but his thoughts kept straying to the quiet, docile man beside him.
The big shot surely had never harvested rice, right?
Forget harvesting rice-he'd probably never even set foot in a field.
Wherever the big shot went, even getting dust on his shoes probably counted as a failing on the part of whoever was in charge locally.
Feng Chi had changed into a casual, lightweight hoodie and sweatpants today. The style was distinctly youthful, yet he somehow made it look like a pampered young master from an old-established family taking a pleasure trip to the countryside.
His cool, pale skin in particular was so white under the sun that it almost reflected the light.
Someone like this would easily attract filthy things when he went out!
See? Hadn't that idiot surnamed Lin been sneaking looks at him the whole way?
Tsk!
Wen Jiu turned back and bared his teeth ferociously at Lin Shuheng, warning him to behave himself.
A large hand suddenly settled on his head and gently rubbed it.
Wen Jiu tilted his head up and snapped, "What?"
