Chapter 89
As Xiao Jingxi stiffly carried Yu Jinzhe in a bridal hold, the livestream chat exploded in excitement.
Yu Jinzhe sat lifelessly in Xiao Jingxi’s arms, rising and falling with every squat.
Xie Mi was so excited she even stopped cracking sunflower seeds, “Abstinent big-chested male mommy vs. pure little puppy shou, a spicy CP like this and you’re telling me not to ship it?!”
“Pffft!”
Qiu Chengye spat water straight onto Lai Bingxuan’s face and immediately got slapped.
The moment the words “male mommy” hit his ears, Xiao Jingxi’s hand shook—he almost dropped Yu Jinzhe.
Yu Jinzhe reacted quickly, grabbing onto Xiao Jingxi’s collar.
Riiip!
A patch of firm, white pectorals was instantly exposed to the air.
Unfortunately, Yu Jinzhe’s hand was pressed right on top of them.
“…”
“…”
Both fell into silence.
[Holy crap, those are huge]
[Yu Jinzhe, what a blessing!]
[I’m dying at this “spicy car CP.” Old Xie, please tell me it’s not that kind of yellow]
[Wait, why didn’t I ever realize Movie King Xiao had this attribute?]
[Male mommy! Male mommy!!]
The thing was, Xiao Jingxi loved chest workouts.
In the original book, there was even a famous scene where Xu Shuangrong accidentally grabbed his chest— the author spent paragraphs describing his pecs, which left a deep impression on Xie Mi.
Now, that exact scene was perfectly recreated with Yu Jinzhe.
[Ding!]
[Heroine awakening progress: 25%.]
“?!”
This time it was Xie Mi’s turn to be stunned. She looked in horror at Xu Shuangrong, who was staring dazedly at Xiao Jingxi and Yu Jinzhe.
Wait, this counts as awakening?
Xu Shuangrong, you really are starving.
Before the atmosphere could get too shippable, Xiao Jingxi and Yu Jinzhe immediately bounced two meters apart.
“Xie Mi, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Yeah, I don’t like male mommies at all.”
Two straight men, stone-faced, explained themselves stiffly before returning to their seats—one at the head, one at the tail of the table.
Xie Mi shook her head like a disappointed teacher, “Young and don’t know the value of a big chest; later you’ll only cry in regret.”
Then, someone beside her suddenly said, “Looks like I should work on my chest too.”
Xie Mi turned in horror to Shen Yanqing, “You want to be a male mommy too?”
He looked helpless, as though surrendering, “Can’t help it, Teacher Xie seems to like it.”
This time Xie Mi didn’t deny it. She solemnly pressed a hand on his shoulder and said seriously, “Once you’ve trained well, you must let me suck a mouthful.”
Shen Yanqing smiled: “?”
[? Kid, what did you just say]
[Old Xie Mi’s private kinks are this extreme? No, let me suck a mouthful too]
[How is this a one-suck deal? I’ll suck a hundred times straight!]
[Mr. Shen’s reputation has been ruined!!]
Several more rounds of drawing followed.
The guests pulled tasks that included (but were not limited to):
– Qiu Chengye and Xiao Jingxi dancing Latin duet,
– Lai Bingxuan and Yu Jinzhe confessing to each other,
– Xu Shuangrong and Qiu Chengye doing a cock-fighting PK,
– Liu Woxing and Shen Yanqing singing Love’s Devotion together.
“Next! Number 4 and Number 7 act as a couple for ten minutes!”
Having never been picked yet, Xie Mi’s hands trembled with excitement, “It’s me! I’m Number 4!”
Damn, she—this on-site audience member—finally got to play too.
Xiao Jingxi also stood up with his card, eyes gentle, “I’m Number 7.”
The atmosphere instantly shifted.
Director Niu, fanning the flames, asked Xie Mi if she wanted to skip by drinking.
Xie Mi waved boldly, “No need, let’s do it!”
Shen Yanqing’s fingertips paused for a moment before resuming as if nothing happened.
[What does this mean, the unpopular CP is finally making a move?]
[MiXi CP, I’m staking my claim first!]
[Seriously? You can ship this? Did you forget how badly they fought before?]
[That was just the fans. The two didn’t even know each other before the show. Xiao Jingxi later got attracted to Sister Xie Mi’s charisma, makes total sense.]
[Sense my ass. Xiao Jingxi’s “not familiar” comment was one of the reasons she got cyberbullied so hard!]
[As an All-Xie Mi fan, what am I supposed to do?!]
The comments was endless, while the staff looked on like they were watching a drama.
Xiao Jingxi quickly slipped into character. Smiling, he extended a hand to Xie Mi, “Come on. What kind of theme do you want? Innocent students in first love, passionate lovers, or—”
Smack!!
Xie Mi stood and slapped him hard, “Why are you cheating on me with another man?!”
[Ah—so it’s suspicious-of-cheating couple cosplay]
“Pfft—”
Someone couldn’t hold back their laughter.
Xiao Jingxi’s head rang from the slap, but before he could speak, Xie Mi kept going.
“Still won’t admit it? I saw him grab your chest! You even bridal-carried him!”
Yu Jinzhe, randomly dragged into the plot: “?”
Wait—why does this involve me?!
Xiao Jingxi, flustered and at a loss, babbled, “Listen to me! He’s just my bro!”
“Your bro grabs your chest, huh? Your bro you princess-carry, huh? Try taking me for a fool again and see what happens!”
Xie Mi’s mouth cursed while her hands didn’t stop, “You smug little pea-brained man, thinking you can coast on my affection—watch me beat the crap out of you!”
Everyone was stunned.
Rather than acting as a couple for ten minutes, it was more like Xiao Jingxi getting beaten senseless for ten minutes.
And to be fair, Xie Mi’s acting was too real. Each slap was so full of emotion that anyone watching would really believe Xiao Jingxi was a cheating scumbag.
When the ten minutes ended, the laughter had disappeared from Xiao Jingxi’s face… and transferred over to Xie Mi and Shen Yanqing’s.
Perhaps this was the law of energy conservation.
A few more rounds went by. Some did tasks, some drank, most were tipsy—until finally, a combo the audience had long been waiting for came up.
“Number 2 and Number 6, apply lip balm on each other!”
Xie Mi, who had spent the whole night trying to get Shen Yanqing drunk but nearly made herself drunk instead, looked at the “2” card in her hand.
Beside her, a man’s elegant, deep voice rang, “Teacher Xie, at last, it’s our turn.”
[EVERYONE STAND UP!!]
[Main CP in the house—make way!]
[I waited all night for this. Even if it’s not a kiss, applying lip balm to each other is basically the same!]
[Whoa, why did the livestream view count suddenly spike?]
Xie Mi and Shen Yanqing stood face-to-face in the center of the courtyard, each holding a lip balm.
It was an awkward scene, to say the least.
Knowing her own limits, Xie Mi was well aware that another drink would push her over. To avoid getting drunk before Shen Yanqing, she could only accept the task.
“Then I’ll start.”
Xie Mi solemnly raised the lip balm.
Shen Yanqing lowered himself to her height, peach-blossom eyes shining with starlit laughter.
“I’ve been waiting a long time, Teacher Xie.”
