Chapter 15
Xie Mi instantly went on high alert.
This man who had tried to scam her before, now saying he’s “interested” in her—don’t tell her he’s actually interested in her wallet?!
They say the richer a man is, the more he values money. That really isn’t wrong.
So she asked outright: “Interested in what aspect?”
She hadn’t expected him to be so blunt. Shen Yanqing raised a brow. “All aspects.”
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
[Leak!!!!!!!!!]
[Mr. Shen, you can’t!!!!!!]
The comments collapsed. Wailing, screeching, prairie-dog screams.
Only the CP fans of “Xie–Yan–Kill–the–Donkey” were laughing hysterically.
#XieYanKillTheDonkey#
#IAmVeryInterestedInYou#
#WhichAspect?AllAspects#
The CP supertopic for “XieYanKillTheDonkey” was established on the spot. A little unhinged, but shippable nonetheless, it quickly shot to third place in the CP rankings—right after “XiaoRong CP” and “XingCheng CP.”
Some people were sour.
[SmileGentle]: This is worth shipping? Everyone knows Mr. Shen has lived abroad for years, his thinking is more open. Saying ‘interested’ is probably just literal. Some people shouldn’t flatter themselves.
[80GuardingTowerWhileIll]: The one above must be a XiaoRong CP fan, huh? Funny—you cursed Xie Mi as a mistress when she was linked with XiaoRong. Now she’s paired with someone else and you say she’s self-delusional. What do you want exactly?
[HalfTourWaste]: Can’t mind your own circle and had to come dance here? Big courage!
[OhSh*t]: Do you not know whose turf this is? Try insulting again, see what happens.
That person had been one of Xie Mi’s long-time haters. Normally, whenever they insulted her, comments below would echo in agreement. But for the first time, they were besieged by a crowd.
They couldn’t handle it, deleted their comment, and fled in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, a flood of Xie-fans poured into the stream.
[Sister Xie! Your Xie-bros are here!]
[Sister Xie fly bravely, if trouble comes, we’ll take it!]
[Xie-bros… that’s the fan name?]
[Yep, they picked it themselves. Totally insane, right?]
[Insane, but makes sense if they’re Xie Mi’s fans.]
[Fans mirror their idol, huh.]
“At night there will be a special date. Please prepare and gather at the parking lot.”
As everyone returned to their rooms to prepare, the assistant director quietly pulled Xie Mi aside.
“Teacher Xie, here’s your hidden mission.”
Xie Mi took the envelope, opened it, and glanced inside. “Make anyone’s bell ring for me?”
“Yes. As long as you can make someone’s bell ring because of you, it counts as a success. You can use any means—flirt, tease, even scare them.”
“Just one person is enough?”
“Yes, just one.”
“OK!”
The assistant director secretly smirked. Xie Mi was too naïve.
This mission wasn’t easy at all. Their director team had tested it privately. To get a heart rate up to 120 was harder than climbing to heaven.
At the parking lot, six business vans were ready.
To help the guests bond faster, the crew had arranged shared transport.
But the question arose—who would drive?
“Who’s driving?”
Qiu Chengye, a pampered rich kid with countless luxury sports cars, naturally had good skills. But being a chauffeur for others? That was beneath his dignity. He easily pushed the responsibility away.
“Mr. Shen lived abroad, probably only has a foreign license, and wouldn’t know local roads. Jingxi’s injured, not convenient either…”
Xu Shuangrong analyzed logically, then frowned. “Actually, I haven’t even gotten my license yet. Woxing… from what I know, doesn’t usually drive either?”
That left only one option.
Shen Yanqing was about to speak, but Xie Mi suddenly grabbed the keys. “No problem, I’ll drive.”
So straightforward?
Xu Shuangrong was caught off guard.
“Forget it, I’ll do it,” Xiao Jingxi frowned, reaching for the keys.
But Xie Mi smoothly slipped into the driver’s seat, buckled up before he could react.
Xiao Jingxi’s hand froze mid-air, his expression darkening. “Now’s not the time for you to show off. Don’t mess around, give them to me.”
“Movie Emperor Xiao, are we close?”
Xiao Jingxi: “…”
Too late. She was already the driver.
When it came time to get in, Xiao Jingxi hesitated at the front passenger door. But before he decided, a long-fingered hand opened it.
Shen Yanqing.
Xie Mi was surprised. “Yo, you dare sit shotgun with me?”
Shen Yanqing smiled. “My life’s tough.”
Xiao Jingxi: “…………”
Everyone boarded, and the car pulled out.
Xie Mi’s driving was steady. They merged onto the highway smoothly, heading toward the city.
But inside, each guest harbored their own schemes.
Everyone had been given the same hidden mission: make someone’s heart ring. They all tried their best tricks.
Qiu Chengye bombarded Liu Woxing with cheesy pickup lines:
“I always succeed in everything I do… except I still lack one kiss from you.”
“Walk carefully, don’t bump into my heart again.”
“No, no, I don’t want anything—except you.”
Liu Woxing: awkward yet polite smile.JPG
Instead of feeling moved, she felt so greasy her heart rate dropped.
Xiao Jingxi was much smarter. He leaned in to pluck an eyelash from Xu Shuangrong’s cheek. Their eyes met, freezing in place, a deep, lingering gaze.
Finally, he whispered in a husky voice: “Today… you look beautiful.”
Xu Shuangrong blushed and lowered her head.
But the bell didn’t ring. Her heart rate stayed steady at around 80.
The “business CP” lived up to its name.
Now it was Xu Shuangrong’s turn. Though the car was moving steadily, she suddenly shifted her weight and fell into Xiao Jingxi’s arms.
She didn’t rush to get up. Instead, she lifted her face within his embrace, eyes shimmering, cheeks glowing.
“Sorry… I didn’t mean to…”
Xiao Jingxi’s heart rate shot to 103.
[Ahhhhh, he’s moved!!]
[Didn’t expect Movie Emperor Xiao to be this pure-hearted!]
[As expected of Shuangshuang, this is the highest result so far!]
But once Xiao Jingxi collected himself, he exhaled in relief.
She had startled him.
When Xu Shuangrong suddenly fell over, he thought it was a car accident.
So far, no one had made the bell ring.
Turns out, hitting 120 really was hard.
Just when everyone thought no one could complete the mission, the car began to gradually speed up.
“Is it just me, or is she going faster?” Liu Woxing noticed first.
“Xie Mi, what are you doing?” Xiao Jingxi frowned.
“Sigh—”
A long, mournful sigh filled the car.
Everyone looked in the rearview mirror to see Xie Mi’s sorrowful eyes.
“To be born human… I’m so sorry.”
Everyone: “?!!!”
Wait—why the hell are you going emo now?!
Outside, the scenery blurred as the car sped up.
Qiu Chengye clutched his seat. “Wait wait wait—you’re not planning to end it all, are you?!!”
Liu Woxing broke her ladylike composure: “Things aren’t as bad as you think! Really! If you have worries, you can talk! Problems can be solved!!”
Xu Shuangrong’s face twisted in panic: “Xie Mi, calm down! Calm down! Ahhhhhh calm down, please!!”
Xiao Jingxi’s eyes rolled back in terror. “Stop the car! Stop right now!!”
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!
All at once, the bells went insane, ringing nonstop. The group screamed in chaos, the mics nearly blowing out.
Only Shen Yanqing sat with arms crossed, eyes closed in serenity.
“Amen.”
