Chapter 131 Top Streamer [VIP]

Despite his previous distant and polite demeanor, Mu Xingye found himself unable to resist softening his heart when he spoke to him in a gentler tone.

Mu Xingye, you're really hopeless.

The man pursed his lips and sat down in his seat.

"I think I heard someone say their hands are cold?" The gap between the seats squeezed close to Teacher Mei's flushed face.

She had just settled down when she heard a faint conversation in front of her, so she took out a blanket from her backpack and handed it to them through the gap between the seats.

"I brought a blanket; anyone with cold hands can take it and cover themselves with it."

Mu Xingye looked at the blanket: "..."

Qingran suppressed a laugh, and under the man's inexplicably aggrieved gaze, she took the blanket and thanked Teacher Mei behind her.

"Thank you, Teacher Mei, you're so thoughtful."

Teacher Mei: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I used it on the way here too. The winters in Jinshi are so cold. You can't stand going out without wearing thick clothes!"

“Indeed, I’m not dressed as warmly as I am back in my hometown in the north when I came to Tianjin,” Liu Sihong interjected.

Both she and Teacher Mei are from the north. They arrived in Jinshi the day before the program recording and were immediately overwhelmed by the temperature in Jinshi.

Sigh, as people get older, they become less resistant to the cold than before. When I was young and filming in Jinshi, I never felt this cold.

After hearing this, Teacher Mei comforted her, saying, "It's okay. Our first stop, Emerald Island, is summer all year round, so you won't need to wear such thick clothes."

"What will we do when it gets too hot?" Li Ying suddenly shuddered as she stood by the aisle.

Teacher Mei and Liu Sihong laughed at first, and after laughing, Liu Sihong said, "Then I would rather be hot than cold."

Teacher Mei: "I don't like hot or cold weather, I just like the mild spring and autumn seasons."

Liu Sihong: "Oh, Teacher Mei, if I had a choice, I would definitely prefer the weather that is neither too hot nor too cold."

Li Ying: "Will those two teachers go to other places to escape the heat or spend the winter?"

"..."

The three people behind them were having a lively conversation across the aisle about where to go to escape the summer heat and where to go to spend the winter.

Qingran took off her thick down jacket and slowly unfolded the blanket that Teacher Mei had kindly provided, which was folded into a neat square.

He covered his legs with the blanket.

Mu Xingye looked at his hands resting on the blanket: "...Are your hands still cold?"

"It's not cold anymore," Qingran said.

The air pressure nearby immediately dropped a few degrees.

Qingran continued to suppress her laughter: "Is Teacher Mu cold?" She pretended to share half of the blanket with him.

Originally intending to answer "not cold," Mu Xingye changed his answer without changing his expression: "It seems a little."

As soon as he finished speaking, half of the blanket was pulled over him, from his knees to his shoulders.

It appears that the two are covered by the same blanket, but underneath the blanket, there is a seat armrest between them.

Mu Xingye was filled with mixed emotions. At that moment, the person next to him turned around and sat sideways. A slight movement reached across the armrest and touched his thigh.

The man's body stiffened.

My hand tentatively reached towards my leg and touched a smooth, slightly cool hand.

The other person did not resist, so he carefully took their hand in his palm, pressing his palm against the back of their hand and weaving it between their fingers.

"Teacher Mu's hands are so warm."

A low murmur, almost a whisper, reached my ears.

The man's lips involuntarily curved upwards slightly, but when he turned his head and saw the young man's face with his eyes closed in rest, the smile on his lips gradually faded.

(* ▽ *)

T∧T

Mu Xingye was lost in thought. What were he and Qingran now?

*

The flight took six hours. Qingran and the others boarded the plane at 3 p.m., and after taking into account the time difference, they landed at 6 p.m. local time.

Emerald Island is a tropical seaside city, and the weather was great that day.

The sunset painted the sky with a gradient of blue and purple, and people dressed in summer clothes opened their arms to feel the salty sea breeze on their faces. People and scenery together formed a bright and warm oil painting.

"Wow, the sky is so beautiful!" Li Ying opened her arms and took a deep breath.

She slept so much during the six-hour flight that her bones ached. She bounced around and did a set of calisthenics to stretch her limbs. Suddenly, she turned her head and caught sight of a camera pointed at her from the side.

"Cough." Silently, she put her hand down and went to find her suitcase.

Seeing Qingran pushing the suitcase, Li Ying rushed over: "I can do it myself!"

Qingran lifted the suitcase and placed it on the trolley that Mu Xingye had pushed over.

"It's okay, there's a stroller."

Everyone else's suitcases were put on the trolley.

This trip covered four countries, which corresponded to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. As a result, each of them brought a lot of clothes and at least two suitcases, and they even used three strollers.

The three young people each got a cart.

Teacher Mei and Liu Sihong, who had changed out of their winter clothes and were feeling much lighter, said, "Please push the luggage. We two older folks don't want to compete with you young people for physical labor. Let's go out and see where the shuttle bus is."

As Qingran and her two companions pushed their suitcases out of the airport, Teacher Mei and Liu Sihong stood by the shuttle bus and waved to them.

The shuttle bus was provided by the hotel, and the service was quite attentive; they didn't need to carry their own luggage onto the bus.

The group traveled by car to the hotel.

—A seaside resort villa hotel, booked by the production team.

Even before you get close, you can see the tall palm trees swaying in the sea breeze in front of the villa. The first thing you see when you get out of the car is the outdoor swimming pool that is the same color as the sea. Behind the swimming pool is the clean and bright building.

"A grand gesture," Qingran exclaimed.

Li Ying nodded: "I really hope that the program team will arrange the flight and hotel arrangements in the future as well."

The camera panned left and right following the two people.

Mu Xingye thought it was just so-so, similar to what Fix arranged for his daily outings.

"You like this? We can order more later."

Qingran reminded, "Teacher Mu, our funding is limited."

Standing beside him, Mu Xingye, who was wealthy and powerful, said, "Can't we just pay for the upgrade ourselves?"

Seeing the camera shaking from side to side again, Mu Xingye curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Tsk."

As the group walked into the courtyard, Qingran said, "Teacher Mu, if this attitude of yours is broadcast, you'll easily get criticized."

Mu Xingye frowned: "What did you say to me?"

Qingran: "I'm scolding you for being spoiled and unable to endure hardship."

With his brows relaxed, Mu Xingye said, "I don't think I'm spoiled, but it's true that I've never experienced hardship."

Thinking it over, he added, "I've never experienced material hardship." Then he made up for it emotionally.

His tone was somewhat negative and indifferent: "Let them curse."

Qingran glanced at him indifferently.

The man's heart tightened, and he hesitated: "Should I pretend to be poor?"

"Pfft." Li Ying, who was standing next to her, laughed. These two were really funny.

Especially Mu Xingye, when we met before, he wasn't exactly arrogant, but he was still aloof and haughty. He only cared about those he wanted to see, and everyone else was as if they didn't exist.

Now that he's in a relationship, he's gone from a lone wolf to a loyal dog.

Seeing the two looking at her, Li Ying smiled and said, "Teacher Mu is a true gentleman."

Teacher Mei and Liu Sihong, who were a little ahead of the three, also heard the conversation.

Teacher Mei was surprised: "You can get scolded for just having a normal chat? Some of the actors from my generation said even worse things and nothing happened to them. Some even cursed people in front of the media."

“Times have changed. Internet technology is so advanced now, unlike before when you had to buy a newspaper to find out what celebrities said,” Liu Sihong explained.

Teacher Mei agreed: "That's true."

As they spoke, the group went inside. The villa was beautifully decorated, with a spacious first floor and a beautiful view from the second floor, complete with a balcony.

There are a total of three bedrooms across the two floors. The second floor has a master bedroom and a guest bedroom, while the first floor has only one guest bedroom.

All rooms are double rooms with private bathrooms, and there is also a shared bathroom on the first floor.

After showing all the rooms, Li Ying prompted the process: "Shall we assign the rooms first? Five people, three rooms. Except for one person who can have a room by themselves, the rest will have to share a room with others."

She looked at everyone questioningly.

Teacher Mei said, "This is nothing. I've stayed in dormitories before when filming. Si Hong, aren't you a light sleeper? You can have a room by yourself, and Ying Ying will stay with me."

"Hehe, I can sleep with Teacher Mei!" Li Ying happily ran over and hugged Teacher Mei's arm.

Liu Sihong smiled gratefully at the two of them.

Teacher Mei patted the little girl who was holding her arm and continued to give instructions: "Qingran and Xingye will share a room. For everyone's convenience, the second-floor bathroom is for the women, and the first-floor bathroom is for you. Is that alright?"

At this point, she had already forgotten about almost asking the two of them if they were a couple.

Qingran and Muxingye naturally had no objections; under the given conditions, this was the best arrangement.

After the rooms were assigned, everyone's luggage was delivered by the hotel.

Qingran and Muxingye helped carry the women's suitcases upstairs before it was their turn to carry theirs.

The guest bedroom is quite spacious, with a clean and large bed in the center, a TV opposite the bed, and a bright and airy floor-to-ceiling window on the side facing the sea.

The curtains were suddenly drawn back, and the magnificent afterglow of the sunset streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a few seabirds dotting the sky, bringing a sense of peace to the heart.

Turning around, the man stood at the foot of the bed, staring blankly at the large bed.

Qingran: "What's wrong with Teacher Mu?"

The man didn't look at him, but lowered his eyes and said, "We'll share a room tonight." They'll sleep in the same bed.

Qingran nodded, then asked knowingly, "Is it because Teacher Mu isn't used to sleeping with other people?"

Mu Xingye turned his head, his expression was like this: →_→

Haven't they slept together countless times?

“I’m really not used to sleeping with other people,” the man said, though he was somewhat restrained, “You’re not just anyone.” There was a camera in the room.

In the control room, the director team monitoring the recording erupted in a small scream upon hearing this.

Sister Lin glared at everyone warningly: "Be professional, we're here to film a show, not to get some sweet moments!"

You're only allowed to get excited for three minutes.

"Ahhh!"

Seeing that everyone was so excited, Sister Lin took out her phone with a motherly smile and prepared to contact the two's agents to confirm the editing standards that both parties could accept.

It's not like anyone else can be a friend; anything can be explained.

Before making the call, she instructed her assistant: "Have the artists prepare to proceed to the next stage of the process."

The next activity is dinner, which is also the last perk provided by the production team. After today, apart from the pre-booked hotel rooms which will not be refunded, the artists will have to take care of everything else themselves.

When she received the reminder, Qingran was packing her suitcase in her room, taking out her clothes and hanging them up in the closet. Upon hearing the message, she quickly finished and left the room.

"It's time for dinner." Mu Xingye, who was at the door, was about to come in to remind him.

Qingran nodded to indicate that she understood: "The staff just notified me. Did Teacher Mei and the others upstairs also receive the notification?"

"Time to eat! Time to eat!"

Just as they were talking about Teacher Mei upstairs, her energetic voice came from upstairs. A moment later, Teacher Mei came downstairs with two little tails and joined Qingran and the others.

The group walked into the dining room to prepare for their meal. What greeted their eyes was a long table laden with delicious seafood dishes, including king crab, lobster, squid, and oysters. The unique aroma of seafood wafted into their nostrils.

It immediately whetted everyone's appetite.

To take care of everyone's stomachs, the production team also prepared some mild and non-irritating foods. However, even Teacher Mei kept putting her chopsticks into the seafood plate.

When you come to the beach, you have to eat seafood to truly appreciate the flavor! Don't let her age fool you, she's in great health!

The group of people, engrossed in their meal, didn't have time to speak for a moment.

Qingran placed an oyster in Muxingye's bowl. Muxingye glanced at him and then ate it obediently.

After eating for a while, everyone slowed down and started chatting.

Li Ying took out the "Emerald Island Travel Guide" and cleared her throat: "Teachers, we need to decide on the attractions we want to visit today so that it will be easier to book transportation and tickets."

"I'll read out some of the recommended attractions from the guide and see what everyone likes..."

While listening to everyone vote for the attractions, Mu Xingye idly peeled shrimp for Qingran, leaving a small pile of shrimp shells on the side of the plate. The attractions to visit tomorrow had also been chosen.

Qingran put down her chopsticks and swallowed the food in her mouth: "I'm full."

Mu Xingye stopped what he was doing, grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, and then handed another tissue to Qingran.

Qingran wiped her mouth as Li Ying reminded everyone of the time to get up tomorrow.

They tentatively plan to visit two attractions tomorrow: Emerald Island Square in the morning to stroll and shop, and admire the local folk architecture; and then go fjord rafting in the afternoon.

There's still some debate about whether or not to go fjord rafting.

Li Ying was worried that rafting was too exciting and that the two elderly teachers' bodies couldn't handle it, so she suggested choosing something else. However, Teacher Mei and Liu Sihong firmly stated that they were fine.

Li Ying chose to respect the two teachers' wishes: "Okay, since no one has any objections, we'll leave at nine o'clock sharp tomorrow. Everyone, please remember to get up at the appropriate time."

After finishing this part of the recording, it was past 9 a.m. local time, which is a little after midnight in China.

Their biological clocks were making them all a little sleepy, so they stopped chatting and quickly said goodbye and went back to their respective rooms.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a dark security camera.

Mu Xingye counted around and found that there were six cameras installed in the small bedroom, and even one at the bathroom door, although they were facing outwards.

He stared at the flashing red dot on the camera: "This thing is on at night too?"

Qingran, who was getting clothes from the wardrobe, turned around and said, "I should be able to turn it off before going to bed."

Mu Xingye walked closer to the camera: "Must it be before bed?"

The production team was worried that he would turn it off early, as they still needed to film the couple's bedtime routine. They quickly sent a staff member to inform him and explain that they would never peek at or expose the artists' privacy.

Mu Xingye looked a little annoyed after being given a few instructions.

Qingran went into the bathroom to take a shower, and he sat on the bed outside waiting for her.

The sound of dripping water could be heard as the man stared coldly at the camera.

If the camera was even slightly tilted towards the bathroom, he would coldly warn, "Where are you looking?"

Production team: ...What can they see with the door closed?

When Qingran finished showering and came out, the man casually took his clothes and walked into the bathroom. Only the camera that had been watching for twenty minutes knew what had happened.

"..."

The production team was hoping the two would talk or chat before bed, but nothing happened.

After washing up, the two lay down on their respective beds, one on each side, covered by their own thin blankets, keeping to themselves as if separated by a river.

With the lights off, the red dot indicating that the camera is filming becomes particularly noticeable in the darkness.

Mu Xingye listened to the even breathing around him, and the familiar, refreshing fragrance assaulted his senses. He closed his eyes, but found that he was still not sleepy at all. Dejected, he got up and turned off all the cameras and recording devices.

"Where are you going?"

A question came from behind.

With his back to the bed, Mu Xingye replied, "Take a bath."

"You just washed it, and then you washed it again?"

Mu Xingye heard a slight rustling sound, and from the sound, he could almost imagine the person who had been sleeping sitting up.

He inhaled: "Don't you know why I take a bath?"

Knowing full well that he was very sensitive when his body was near hers, she still served him oysters at dinner.

"Um?"

As the sound of someone crawling closer on their knees was heard, a finger hooked onto Mu Xingye's hand, which was hanging by his side.

Mu Xingye's heart skipped a beat, his voice hoarse: "What are we doing here?"

With two fingers, she hooked each of the man's fingers into her palm one by one, as if climbing a mountain. Qingran asked, "Is this considered making up?"

Mu Xingye suddenly turned his head to look at him.

Qingran: "Or are you saying you want to break up with me?"

Upon hearing the word "breakup," Mu Xingye instinctively gripped his hand tighter and turned around, asking, "Do you like me?"

Qingran nodded: "Of course."

Mu Xingye: "Even if we disregard the fact that my father's surname is Mu and my mother's surname is Yuan, you still like me?"

Qingran nodded again: "Of course."

The answer came too easily, and Mu Xingye didn't feel it was real for a moment.

Until the person in front of him knelt up and hugged the back of his neck, gently massaging the protruding neck bone.

"I answered your question, so you answer me too: if I hadn't appeared in front of you that day, would you have gone to find someone else?"

He was the one who administered the drug, and he still had to ask himself if he should go to someone else.

Mu Xingye said in a hoarse voice, "I was given an aphrodisiac, not a date rape drug. I know what I'm doing."

Aphrodisiacs only amplify his desires, they don't make him lose his mind.

Moreover, his body is too familiar with desire, and he is already used to how to remain calm in the face of desire.

He only indulged himself when he met Qingran, taking advantage of the drug's effects.

"Does babe really like me?" After answering, I felt anxious and uncertain again, trying to confirm.

"I like you," Qingran said helplessly, her hand that had been massaging her neck turning to her hands that were carefully cupping the man's handsome face. "I drugged you at first because of your identity, but we got together later because I like you."

The bedroom was dimly lit, but that didn't prevent the two of them from seeing each other's eyes clearly.

Qingran leaned in and kissed the man's lips, asking against his lips, "What do I have to do for you to believe me?"

Mu Xingye pulled him close to his waist, hugging him tightly and completely, without reservation, like a patient with severe skin hunger.

Their lips rubbed together. Mu Xingye said, "Say you like me."

Qingran: "I like you."

Mu Xingye: "I like you too, I like you a lot."

A smile curved her lips, and her voice was almost a whisper, which sounded rather gentle at that moment.

Qingran gently stroked the man's short hair at the back of his head.

The man closed his eyes and kissed his shoulder, feeling his warmth and smelling his fragrance.

Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "Baby, I want you."

"Just thinking about it."

They were outside, and he had no intention of doing anything.

Qingran kissed his earlobe: "It doesn't have to be just thinking."
