Chapter 157
Shen Yiqing’s gaze paused over the product page, then a smile gradually spread across his eyes, shimmering like scattered fragments of light.
“I want it.”
His look was both focused and gentle, lips curved in a clear smile. “If Teacher Xie buys it for me, I want it.”
“Really?”
Xie Mi met his gaze and grinned. “Then I’ll buy it for you. Send me your address; I’ll place the order now.”
Shen Yiqing’s room doorway opened into a small living room with a balcony. Xie Mi walked over and sat on the rattan chair there, waiting for him to send the address.
’Gaga—’
The message arrived quickly on WeChat.
Xie Mi tapped it to copy—but then she noticed something unusual.
“I asked you to send your home address. Why did you send more than ten addresses?”
“These are my permanent addresses in different cities. Teacher Xie can send it to whichever one you like.”
Shen Yiqing’s lips curved slightly as he walked over to sit beside her, slowly drying his slightly damp hair with a towel.
The air carried the faint scent of his post-shower fragrance, and Xie Mi swallowed hard.
For the first time, she got a tangible sense of Shen Yiqing’s wealth.
This guy… is really rich.
Had she known back when she “traveled back in time,” she should have made little Shen Yiqing swear to repay her twenty million yuan when he grew up for saving his life.
A miscalculation.
“What do these numbers mean?”
Xie Mi pointed to the line of numbers under each address.
“Door lock code,” Shen Yiqing answered naturally, as if it were completely normal.
The live comments went wild.
[Door lock code?! He actually gave the door lock code?!!]
[You asked for an address, he gives the code instead—what ambitious intentions!]
[Isn’t this basically an official declaration?]
[My brain can’t handle this, sob sob sob]
[Old Shen, I’m dying here]
[It’s fine to tell Old Xie the code, don’t love too much!!]
[Indeed, the Xie-Yueqing fans are eating this up like a delicacy every day.]
Amidst this slightly flirty atmosphere, Xie Mi fell into a brief moment of thought, then asked seriously:
“Is your security really this good? Can delivery people just open the door and leave the package inside?”
“Should I specify—leave it on the living room table or the bedside table?”
Shen Yiqing smiled slightly.
[Wow, what a smooth answer]
[Every time Sister Xie answers, it’s so reassuring like returning to a grave—]
[June 25, sunny. My Old Xie seems a bit mischievous lately, so I bought her a mouse trap. A couple of snaps and she behaves.]
[AI can’t replace humans because humans are sometimes so unpredictable.]
Finally, Xie Mi successfully filled in the address and completed the purchase, giving Shen Yiqing something to look forward to.
“I bought two outfits that suit you perfectly. Summer’s coming, so I’ll also buy some mosquito repellent. Oh, and two bottles of sunscreen spray—don’t let the kid get sunburned.”
Xie Mi sat on the rattan chair placing the order, her eyes sparkling as she focused on the screen, clearly enjoying herself.
Shen Yiqing leaned lazily on one hand, smiling as he watched her—but his smile stiffened slightly at the word “kid.”
Kid?
The live comments were ecstatic, saying that Xie Mi had finally realized: when a woman sincerely cares for a man, that’s love!
But they overlooked one possibility: it could also be familial affection.
“All done! Order placed!”
Xie Mi turned off her phone and tossed it aside, then looked up to see Shen Yiqing staring at her. She slapped her thigh.
“Hey! Your hair’s still wet, be careful not to catch a cold!”
She reached out, grabbed the towel draped over Shen Yiqing’s shoulders, and began rubbing his hair vigorously.
Tilting her head up, she carefully dried his hair, brushing aside the strands partially covering his forehead, revealing his beautiful eyes.
Shen Yiqing didn’t stop her, letting her continue. His deep gaze held a trace of curiosity, taking in her concern for him.
…Kid.
His fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the rattan chair, his eyes flickering with an indescribable emotion.

#Xie-Yueqing’s relationship leaps forward
For the Xie-Yueqing fans, this holiday special was pure bliss.
Their main leads kept showering fans with sweet moments over these two days, and Shen Yiqing even subtly confessed, marking a qualitative leap in their relationship.
Before this, Xie-Yueqing was the most popular CP on the show, but Xing-Cheng was undeniably the fastest-developing CP.
Everyone assumed Qiu Chengye and Liu Woxing would be the first couple to officially announce their relationship—but now, a dark horse appeared.
[Liang Ban Bi Mao]: No joke, Xie-Yueqing is about to overtake.
[Shrimp Eyes]: The last two days of Xie-Yueqing’s sweetness have me dizzy; meanwhile, Xing-Cheng seems stagnant.
[Let’s Ruin It Together]: Previously, Qiu Chengye and Liu Woxing were in the same group and had the most interaction, but this time, they were separated—no communication.
[Laughing My Head Off]: Qiu Chengye seems like he only talks to Liu Woxing when he sees her. When he doesn’t see her, he doesn’t seek her out at all. Liu Woxing becomes passive. Feels perfunctory.]
[Shining Alone]: Wait, weren’t they the first locked couple? After the initial recording, they spent the longest alone together. I thought they were already a couple.]
[Rolling Rolling]: They give me a weird vibe—seem cozy together, but no real flirty atmosphere.]
[Beautiful and Self-Aware]: Yes! Exactly! I can feel Qiu Chengye likes Liu Woxing, but not that much. As for Liu Woxing’s feelings, I feel nothing.]
[Pan Bingo]: This couple won’t be a BE, right?
As the discussion grew, a trending topic emerged:
#Xing-Cheng CP suspected BE?#
Seeing this, Director Niu panicked.
The development of this dating show has been turbulent.
Initially, the Xiao-Rong CP, naturally popular, and the Xing-Cheng CP, a seemingly compatible pair, were the first two CPs.
Xiao-Rong’s CP ended (BE), and the backlash nearly ruined the show, leaving only Xing-Cheng to uphold the show’s name.
Then Xie-Yueqing emerged, dominating the CP rankings, becoming the indisputable top couple.
Other CPs were minor, quirky, or persistent Xiao-Rong fans hoping for a comeback.
In other dating shows, guests interact smoothly, and many CPs can be shipped.
Here, only Xie-Yueqing and Xing-Cheng are worth shipping.
Others are either father-son dynamics or street fights.
Now telling Niu that one of his two main CPs might BE?
Absolutely unacceptable.
He discreetly approached Liu Woxing to reason with him:
“Teacher Liu, though the group division these two days separated you from Qiu Chengye, the arrangement only affects accommodation. You can still spend time together as usual.”
