Chapter 86 Violent Aesthetics vs. Variety Shows (Final Chapter) "The Seven-Year Itch..."

Wen Yinhe turned around and walked straight to Jiang Hengchuan. His dark eyebrows were lowered, and a perfect smile graced his face as he spoke gently and politely:

"Mr. Jiang, please put on your boxing gloves."

However, despite the flat tone of the voice, it inexplicably made Jiang Hengchuan's scalp tingle, reflexively triggering the fear he had felt yesterday when Wen Yinhe almost killed him. His legs trembled, and he wanted to run away.

Just then, An Zicheng's deliberately raised, sarcastic laughter rang out from not far away:

"No way? No way? Someone's thinking of deserting now? Are they even a man? Have they no shame?"

Although no name was mentioned, Jiang Hengchuan knew that the person was referring to him.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glare fiercely at An Zicheng, but in the end, he still succumbed to his provocation.

The cameras are still rolling. If he runs away in front of the whole world, where will he put his face?

Moreover, he didn't believe that a celebrity like Wen Yinhe would dare to lay a hand on him in public!

Thinking this, Jiang Hengchuan felt a little relieved and put on a full set of safety gear. After all, he was still afraid of dying.

The moment he finished dressing, he heard a deep, clear voice say to him from across the room, "Excuse me."

The next second, a huge fist, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, slammed precisely into his jaw.

Jiang Hengchuan vaguely heard a "crack" sound as his neck almost snapped, and his head and body were violently flung into the air, almost flying off his neck.

He staggered backward in terror, but before he could regain his balance, the fist opposite him slammed into his head again without pause.

Wen Yinhe gave Jiang Hengchuan no chance to escape at all. He was like a wild beast that had gone berserk, relentlessly pursuing and attacking Jiang Hengchuan.

Protective gear is almost useless at this time.

Wen Yinhe was incredibly strong; he was capable of lifting a 1.87-meter-tall adult man with his bare hands.

When that punch landed, Jiang Hengchuan felt as if he had been hit hard by a truck. The hard protective gear, carrying the force of Wen Yinhe's punch, slammed into his sternum and ribs again and again.

The ribs that had been hit by the table yesterday were now causing Jiang Hengchuan even more pain, making his vision blurry and causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Each punch was heavy and powerful, like being swung hard by a meteor hammer; they were also fast and dense, like raindrops pelting down on his head, face, chest, and abdomen...

The dull thud rang rapidly in my ears, mixed with Jiang Hengchuan's muffled pain, it was truly agonizing.

Aside from being forced to retreat step by step, frantically using his arms to protect his face, Jiang Hengchuan helplessly and unilaterally endured Wen Yinhe's storm of attacks, he had absolutely no chance to fight back.

This was essentially a one-sided beating.

Wen Yinhe's punches were fierce and fast. He opened his face to protect his head, revealing his handsome features. His jawline was taut, and the stray hairs on his forehead were pressed down, covered with sweat, which swept across his dark eyebrows and eyes.

Even during intense activity, his dark eyes remained cold and sharp as a hawk's, unwavering and relentlessly locking onto his panicked and fearful prey, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Such a tall stature, such a fierce beating, yet paired with such a delicate face—contradictory yet harmonious.

It exudes a primal, violent beauty, and possesses a unique allure that is impossible to look away from, captivating both the heart and soul while simultaneously terrifying the viewer.

Holy crap! Is this the legendary violent aesthetics???

[If the world were to collapse one day, no need to guess, it would definitely be the movie star who looks incredibly handsome! This is truly a case of a sparrow eating a cricket, a sparrow consuming a cricket!]

[The movie star doesn't even need to buy a plane ticket to travel; he just flies away looking so cool!]

【Handsome. (This sentence, though only one word, reveals a hint of nonchalance and aloofness, perfectly matching my unrestrained, indifferent, and composed temperament. The ending period is polite yet distant, aptly showcasing my elegant and distinguished nature.)】

Not far away, An Zicheng and Xiao Jue were also chasing after Zheng Shuming and Shu Bao'er respectively.

Shu Bao'er had always been the apple of his family's eye since he was a child. Even his parents had never hit him, so he couldn't believe that he would be hit by Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue was half a head taller than Shu Bao'er. Although he was not as muscular as Wen Yinhe and An Zicheng, he was still muscular and strong, and his eyes were chillingly cold.

Shu Bao'er was terrified just by looking at him. After putting on her safety gear, she cried out in pain after being hit a few times. She even called out "husband" and rushed towards Du Ruopu.

He's also the kind of person who'd court death.

Xiao Jue rushed up with a dark face and kicked him to the ground in front of Du Ruopu.

Shu Bao'er suddenly knelt down in front of Du Ruopu, almost kowtowing to him on the spot.

Taking advantage of Du Ruopu's presence, Xiao Jue viciously sat down on Shu Bao'er and started slamming his head against her head repeatedly.

It's clear that he has harbored resentment towards this person for a long time.

Du Ruopu stared in disbelief at Xiao Jue's violent and fierce side, and couldn't help but slowly raise his hand to cover his flushed face.

Oh my god, he's so...so handsome...

He's like a prince from a fairy tale...

No, it's the king!

Xiao Jue took a moment to look up, his sharp gaze shooting towards him. His chest, encased in his shirt, heaved up and down, and his crimson lips curled into a arrogant smile.

"What? You have something to say to me?"

He thought to himself that if Du Ruopu dared to show even a hint of heartache or pity for Shu Bao'er, he would probably have to re-evaluate their relationship.

He didn't care about the past entanglements.

But now that he has appeared, from this moment on, the only person he has set his sights on, both physically and mentally, should be him.

Proud as Xiao Jue is, he only wants to be unique, and can only be unique.

Fortunately, Du Ruopu did not disappoint him.

When Du Ruopu met his sharp eyes, her already flushed face turned even redder, and her eyes flickered hurriedly, as if she was embarrassed to look directly at Xiao Jue's face.

But in the end, as if reluctant, she shyly and slowly moved back, her face flushed, and gave Xiao Jue a simple, honest smile, saying in a gentle voice:

"Are you... tired? Do you want me to wipe your sweat?"

Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle, finally letting go of the last trace of resentment and warning in his heart.

Du Ruopu held her breath, staring blankly at his face, which became even more radiant and beautiful when he smiled, looking completely mesmerized.

Xiao Jue said no more, but raised her chin slightly with an air of nobility and offered her face to him. Her peach blossom eyes, with their slightly upturned corners, glanced at him like hooks.

This was almost the fastest Du Ruopu's mind had ever worked.

Before he could even process what was happening, he instinctively walked up to Xiao Jue, took out Xiao Jue's handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully cupped Xiao Jue's face in one hand, his face flushed, and meticulously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He didn't know when or how Xiao Jue's handkerchief ended up on him.

Shu Bao'er: "..."

No, he's still being sat on by Xiao Jue! Is it even human for her to be so openly displaying affection with her ex-husband?!

I already hate him, but now I'm completely ignoring him and not even treating him like a human being!

Shu Bao'er suddenly felt an immense sense of injustice, her eyes welled up with tears, and she opened her mouth, unable to hold back her sobs any longer.

"Waaah!"

[Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore! These three people together are just too abstract! What kind of world-famous painting is this?!]

[What's with this sweet and funny mix? Beating up a jerk while simultaneously showing off their love, right?]

[The ex-husband was beaten and cried loudly, but Kapibala didn't even glance at him once. With the young master in front of him, it was as if his eyes were glued to the young master's face. I even doubted whether he noticed there was someone on the ground, hahaha.]

[Kapibala is so infatuated with the young master that she doesn't even know her ex-husband died right under her nose...]

On the other side, An Zicheng had already straddled Zheng Shuming and was pressing him down on the sand, pounding him mercilessly.

Perhaps feeling that the fight wasn't satisfying enough, An Zicheng took a break to remove his protective gear and ripped off his hoodie, which was even more bulky after being rolled in sand, revealing a tanned, muscular physique.

He picked up his protective gear and put it back on. As his two boxing gloves clattered together, the muscles in his strong arms rippled like small hills.

With one hand gripping Zheng Shuming's chin, he continued to pound on Zheng Shuming with the other. His bulging muscles, no longer concealed by his clothes, looked even more terrifying and intimidating when they erupted.

[Holy crap, this little brother is amazing! Such big pecs for such a young age! Zicheng, you're a male bodhisattva! Thank you!]

A strong, virile woman like me needs to look at handsome men every day to have the energy to continue supporting my family!

[Look at you, Mr. Movie King! Zicheng has already taken his clothes off! Aren't you going to do anything about it?! (pointing and gesturing)]

Perhaps it's because today is the last day of the show, and even the heavens are looking out for the audience.

Wen Yinhe's shirt was accidentally torn below the arm due to the large movements, which was embarrassing and unsightly.

Just then, An Zicheng's shirtless figure appeared in front of them.

Wen Yinhe glanced at Lu Huaijin subconsciously, blinked innocently and helplessly, and obediently waited for Lu Huaijin's permission.

Lu Huaijin couldn't help but smile and nodded elegantly: "It's okay, take it off."

With his lover's approval, Wen Yinhe removed his protective gear, raised his arm to unbutton the top two buttons of his collar, and then, like An Zicheng, took off the torn shirt directly from above his head.

The moment the arms are raised, the muscles attached to the ribs tighten and relax, creating a beautiful undulating line.

The next second, he turned around and faced Jiang Hengchuan again, expressionlessly tossing his shirt onto the sand.

Wen Yinhe was shirtless, revealing an astonishingly strong and muscular physique.

His skin was covered in sweat, a thin, glistening layer covering his broad chest, reflecting the sunlight overhead and shimmering slightly with his breath.

His muscles weren't just flashy, artificially enhanced by protein powder at the gym; they were the result of years of extreme sports and a diet rich in meat and fish—realistic, well-developed muscles that are full and firm.

His waist and abdomen were lean and strong, narrowing inward, with two deep arcs outlining the muscles and extending neatly below the waistband.

Even the most discerning eye has to admit that this is a masculine body that combines strength and beauty, bursting with hormones.

Regardless of his orientation, he is influenced by the biological instinct to pursue beauty and cannot help but take a second look at him.

[Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Is this even watchable?! I waited a whole variety show and finally got to see just how good the movie star's physique is, hahaha!!! My eyes widened instantly! oo→OoO!]

This is exactly the kind of man our Chinese entertainment industry needs!!! Please, the entire Chinese entertainment industry should follow this standard, okay? This is the basic quality of a normal male celebrity!

[Paired with the actor's gentle, gentlemanly face, it's absolutely stunning! Is this the legendary angelic face and devilish figure???]

[Instantly brought back memories of my runway days! Thank you, Mr. Lu, sob sob sob! Mr. Lu is so generous! Mr. Lu, I love you! (Stacked armor: It's not romantic love, it's admiration. [Actor's tonic, hit me! QAQ]]

[President Lu: Since you can only look and not touch anyway, let me show you how well I eat every day :)]

[He even had to take a second look at President Lu before taking off his clothes, waaaaaah, how can you be so obedient! So cute! Look closely, this boy's name is Wen Yinhe! Look closely, this boy's name is Lu Huaijin! Anyone who sees them will be completely charmed by their sweetness! Just like me →○|￣|_]

While Wen Yinhe was taking off his clothes, Jiang Hengchuan was about to sneak away, but Wen Yinhe pushed him into the water from behind like a beast.

The two fell into the shallows almost simultaneously, splashing water everywhere, and the icy river water instantly soaked through their trousers.

Wen Yinhe simply stopped wearing a headgear.

He quickly put on his boxing gloves with his right hand, but left his hand free to grab Jiang Hengchuan's headgear tightly, pressing most of his head into the sand underwater.

Jiang Hengchuan choked on the water several times, and half of what he inhaled through his nose was sand and water when he gasped for breath.

He craned his neck in terror, only to be met with another round of beatings.

This was the kind of punch Wen Yinhe had wanted to deliver to Jiang Hengchuan's face the first time they met.

He had kept in mind the disrespect this person had shown to Huai Jin.

Before meeting Huai Jin, even he himself didn't know that he was such a petty person.

He simply couldn't tolerate the slightest disrespect shown to Huai Jin by others.

Even a single word or glance cannot be tolerated.

Everyone says he is gentle, but they don't know that the madness in his bones has been melted away little by little by his lover.

His powerful and beautiful Mr. Lu had pulled him back from the brink of death time and time again.

In his most desperate moment, when he was betrayed and abandoned by everyone, it was Lu Huaijin who gave him a new life and a home.

Lu Huaijin is the gentlest person in the world.

Noticing the camera approaching, Wen Yinhe's professionalism prompted him to subconsciously smile gently at the camera. In the instant he lowered his eyes, he pressed this man who had insulted Lu Huaijin many times into the sand and beat him to death.

Holy crap, did he just smile at us?

[At times like this, you really shouldn't be gentle... While it's cool to punch someone with a blank expression, suddenly doing something like this to us is really scary...!!!]

[No exaggeration, the moment I made eye contact with the movie star, all the hairs on my body stood on end! I was terrified...]

The viewers in the live chat were terrified after just one glance at each other.

At this moment, Jiang Hengchuan, who was being held down on the sandy underwater, had reached the peak of his fear.

His limbs thrashed wildly in the river, but the force pressing down on him was as solid as a mountain, and he couldn't budge him an inch.

Extreme fear blocked his mouth and nose like mud and sand, his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode, and the icy river water poured into his nasal cavity and into his throat, bringing a strong feeling of suffocation and an immense fear of death.

His eyes were bloodshot; he tried to open them wide, but the sand made them almost impossible to open.

In his blurry pupils, the handsome yet chilling face of the man on his body was reflected.

In the dying moments as his neck was pressed against the wall, Jiang Hengchuan heard Wen Yinhe's soft, gentle yet chilling voice:

"You dare mention Lu Huaijin's name? Who do you think you are, huh?"

Jiang Hengchuan's tears and snot mingled with the river water and finally flowed out in a disheveled manner, his whole body trembling violently with fear.

Since the show started airing, this is the first time he has been completely stripped of all his arrogance and conceit, leaving only the most humble pleas for mercy.

The fact that he's been jumping up and down since the show started is already a show of mercy that Lu Huaijin has reluctantly shown for the sake of the show's popularity.

After all, even a clown's performance can be quite entertaining and can occasionally provide some relief from boredom.

Now that the show is over, Lu Huaijin is getting impatient with the buzzing bugs around him, and Wen Yinhe naturally has an obligation to help him get rid of them.

"Please give our regards to the Jiang family on my behalf. If you see Huai Jin and me in the future, remember to stay far away and don't get in our way again."

...

The chaotic battle on the sand finally came to a slow end as the beaten guests cried and begged for mercy.

The entire battlefield was in complete chaos, with sand and river water splashed all over the land, and men's clothes and a pile of broken protective gear scattered on the ground.

There might even be men's tears and snot.

Men returning victorious from the battlefield, covered in sweat and river water, rushed to their loved ones.

Their lovers accepted their embraces without any hesitation.

Apart from Zheng Shuming and Shu Baoer.

Even Tao Miller was still feigning affection for Jiang Hengchuan, determined to keep up the act until the very last moment before he ran away. His dedication was truly astonishing.

A passionate voice rang in my ears:

"The ninth and final game – the Sandy Revenge Battle – has officially ended! With this, all nine games of 'The Seven-Year Itch Season 2' have come to a close. Thank you all for your hard work!"

Are you satisfied with your and your partner's performance? Is your former lover still by your side? Is the person next to you now still your former lover?

"Some are happy, some are sad. Some get divorced in just a few games, some find true love in just a few games, and some remain faithful and loyal from beginning to end."

"But in any case, this brief yet long encounter has been a splendid and unforgettable journey. Let's applaud ourselves, our loved ones, and all the guests around us!"

Sparse applause broke out. Both the one who was beating and the one who was being beaten were exhausted. There was no reluctance to part on anyone's face, only the eagerness to get home, take a shower, and finish get off work.

[Hahahaha, Ali always speaks bluntly, but it's all the truth! Every word is deadly, every word hits the nail on the head! Isn't this a million-dollar copywriting tool? (doge)]

【Ugh! I even prepared tissues, why aren't any of you crying?! Is this even fair? How can a variety show have a finale where no one sheds a tear?! Aren't you even pretending???】

[Guests: Sorry, we can't fake it at all. We're lucky to have survived this variety show unscathed...]

"Haha, Ali has already felt everyone's enthusiasm. There really isn't any reluctance at all. It seems that no one is reluctant to part ways. Fortunately, we will be saying goodbye soon, and everyone will be free soon!"

"However, before it all comes to a complete end, we have one more important thing to announce: who will win the title of 'Most Loving Couple on the Internet' this season? There's absolutely no suspense at all!"

“I won’t count the points from previous matches. Since two couples broke up, the points have become irrelevant.”

"Now let's give a round of applause to congratulate Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin, the couple who have successfully won the title of 'Most Affectionate Couple on the Internet' in 'The Seven Year Itch Season 2'!"

This time, the applause was even more enthusiastic than before.

Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin held hands tightly and nodded their thanks.

Because it was on a riverbank, and they couldn't create trash and pollute the environment, the production team didn't set off firecrackers; they only used sound equipment to simulate the sound of fireworks.

Viewers commented that the show's producers maintained the show's abstract character personas from beginning to end.

The chief director personally presented Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin with a crystal trophy for "Most Affectionate Couple on the Internet," which depicted a pair of lovers tightly embracing each other, encircled by a pink crystal openwork heart.

Because this season features an all-male cast, the two figures in the center of the trophy have also been changed to two men.

Xiao Jue clapped his hands and sincerely congratulated them: "Congratulations, President Lu and Mr. Wen, you truly deserve it."

An Zicheng excitedly shouted:

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin didn't hold back and kissed in front of all the guests and the world's audience.

This extraordinary live-streaming extravaganza concluded with a loving and tender kiss, bringing it to a perfect close.

Tianyin said passionately:

"The second season of 'The Seven Year Itch' has come to a perfect end! See you next season!"

[Waaaaaah, it's really over! It's like a devastating breakup, my world has collapsed! From today onwards, I have no more emotional support!]

[Although I really want to say season three, what's the point if the movie star and CEO Lu aren't in season three?! There's simply no sweeter or more perfect couple in the world than Wen Lu!!! [crying]]

[Some people lost their husbands, some lost their wives, some lost their careers, some lost their money, and some even went to jail... I really don't know how far the third season will have to go to surpass this season. It's practically a god-tier showdown, a gathering of gods and humans...]

[I've never really shipped any couples before. Wen Lu is the first and likely the only one I've ever shipped. It'll be the last one, sob sob sob. This is the first time I've felt such a strong emotional intensity. No other couple can move me anymore. The thought of us separating soon is giving me such a strong sense of withdrawal. It's so painful! QAQ]

Thank you Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin. You are both truly outstanding, strong, wonderful, and perfectly matched individuals. I admire your love, your talent, and even more so, your strong inner strength. You both know how to love. Thank you for teaching me what love is and how to become a better person. You are not only role models of love in my heart but also mentors in my life. I have drawn so much strength from your lives. Thank you so much. May you always be confident, strong, loving, and happy!

Flowers may fade, people may die, but the love between the movie star and CEO Lu will never say goodbye.
