Lin Xia and Xiaoyu are college roommates and best friends. Although they are both fans of Ouyangguang, Lin Xia is a pure mother fan and career fan, while Xiaoyu is a CP fan who is keen on supporting various CPs of Ouyangguang.
Lin Xia threw the last bag of potato chips into the shopping cart and turned to ask Xiaoyu: "Would you like a Coke or juice?"
"Coke! I have to have Coke!" Xiaoyu peeked out from the other side of the shelf, holding two bags of spicy noodles. "And some of this, it's a must for watching variety shows."
Lin Xia curled her lips: "Aren't you afraid of getting acne? I have to go to work tomorrow."
"For Ouyangguang, it's worth it!" Xiaoyu made an exaggerated gesture of sacrifice, attracting the sidelong glance of an aunt next to her.
Lin Xia quickly dragged her to check out. Ever since her junior year internship, she and Xiaoyu had seen very little. Today was a rare day off for both of them, and Xiaoyu said she wanted to take her on a sweet date. Although Lin Xia wasn't a fan of couples, she was still happy to watch Ouyangguang's show with her bestie.
Back at Xiaoyu's apartment, the two quickly spread snacks on the coffee table. Xiaoyu's laptop was already open, the screen paused on the opening scene of "Love Concert."
"Let's talk about this first," Lin Xia said, sitting cross-legged on the carpet and opening a can of Coke. "I'm here to see the Ouyang Guang cut, not to listen to your imaginary CPs. I'm a serious mom fan, not a CP fan."
Xiaoyu smiled and tore open the bag of chips. "I know, I know, Mommy Lin. But I'm warning you, there's a lot of candy in today's episode, so don't cry."
Lin Xia rolled her eyes and pressed the play button.
Of course she knew what Xiaoyu was referring to. On the night the show aired last month, she watched it alone after work. When she saw the unexpected "game kiss" between Ouyang Guang and Zhang Yixing, she almost dropped her phone. Although she knew rationally that it was just an accident during the game, that was Ouyang Guang's first screen kiss!
"It's started, it's started!" Xiaoyu patted Lin Xia's thigh excitedly.
At the beginning of the show, EXO appeared as guests and performed "Wolf and Beauty".
Lin Xia's eyes immediately locked onto Ouyang Guang. He was wearing a black school uniform jacket with a red shirt underneath. His facial features seemed thinner than before, and his fangs were faintly visible when he smiled as he introduced himself.
"Look! Brother Yixing is stealing glances at the sun again!" Xiaoyu suddenly pointed at the screen and screamed.
Lin Xia frowned: "Where? Is this just a normal interaction?"
"What do you know!" Xiaoyu excitedly rewinded to ten seconds ago. "Look at the look in Lay's eyes, and the smile on Yangguang's face after he finished speaking. There's definitely something wrong!"
Lin Xia shook her head helplessly. The "Brother Yixing" Xiaoyu was referring to was EXO's main dancer, Zhang Yixing, four years older than Ouyang Guang. He had indeed taken good care of him in the group. But Xiaoyu insisted on interpreting this brotherhood as love, which Lin Xia couldn't understand.
"Look! Look!" Xiaoyu suddenly slapped Lin Xia's thigh, almost making her spill her Coke. "That look! That look! Isn't that love?"
Lin Xia stared at the screen. Ouyang Guang and Zhang Yixing stood at opposite ends of the stage. When they sang the chorus, they both turned around at the same time, their eyes met, and the corners of their mouths curled up slightly.
"...Isn't this just a normal performance?" Lin Xia frowned. "Who in their group hasn't made eye contact with anyone else?"
"But look at the details!" Xiaoyu excitedly pulled up a GIF saved on her phone. "At the last book signing, Yixing was fixing Ouyangguang's collar, and when his fingers touched his neck, Ouyangguang's ears turned red! And the month before last, at the airport, Ouyangguang was so sleepy he was staggering around, and Yixing just put his head on his shoulder to sleep!"
Lin Xia: "...Isn't this what teammates are like?"
Xiaoyu: "Oh, naive."
The show entered the game segment, and the host announced that they would play a "cookie relay" game, in which players had to bite the same cookie from both ends. The team with the shortest cookie left at the end would win.
When it was Zhang Yixing's turn to play the game and choose teammates, Ouyang Guang immediately grabbed over and wanted to be in the same group with him.
"Ahhh, here it comes! Matcha kiss!" Xiaoyu stomped her feet excitedly, holding Lin Xia's arm tightly.
Lin Xia covered her eyes and said, "I won't look!"
When she let go, Lin Xia's heart beat faster. Even though she knew what was going to happen, she couldn't help but hold her breath.
On the screen, Ouyang Guang and Zhang Yixing stood together, both smiling shyly. As the biscuits grew shorter, their faces grew closer...
"I kissed you!" Xiaoyu screamed and jumped up, almost spilling her Coke.
Lin Xia, however, felt an inexplicable pang of bitterness. On the screen, Ouyang Guang was stunned, while Zhang Yixing, blushing, waved his hand and took a step back.
Lin Xia: "..."
"Oh my god, this is too sweet! Xingguang CP is real!" Xiaoyu shook Lin Xia's shoulders frantically. "Look at how shy they are, there's definitely something fishy going on! Xiaoguang was even pressing his brother's shoulders just now!"
Xiaoyu: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Lin Xia grabbed the pillow and threw it at her: "You're still laughing! This is my son's first screen kiss!"
"What kind of first kiss is this!" Xiaoyu wiped the tears from her laughter, "A real first kiss must have happened a long time ago, hehehehe!"
"It was just an accident during the game." Lin Xia said stiffly, and suddenly the potato chips in her mouth felt tasteless.
"No way! Look at the back, Xiaoguang keeps staring at his brother!" Xiaoyu played a few clips. "And here, when Xiaoguang was talking, Yixing kept stealing glances at him!"
Lin Xia frowned. "Could you please stop overinterpreting this? It was just a normal eye contact."
Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously: "How do you explain this?" She switched to another video, which was a backstage clip. Ouyang Guang and Zhang Yixing were standing together, with Ouyang Guang's hand naturally resting on Zhang Yixing's waist.
"It's normal between brothers." Lin Xia disagreed.
"Ha! What about this?" Xiaoyu played last week's music program again, the moment when Ouyang Guang and Zhang Yixing smiled at each other when they shared a microphone to sing.
Lin Xia: "???"
After the show ended, Xiaoyu quickly clicked on the latest episode of "We Got Married".
"Now! Immediately! I'll find you a perfect match!" Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "Ouyang Guang and Jin Zhiyuan, the domineering little wolfdog below and the gentle and innocent sister below, a perfect match!"
Lin Xia finally couldn't help it: "Xiaoyu, which couple are you rooting for? Sometimes it's light source, sometimes it's starlight. Don't you think it's contradictory?"
Xiaoyu blinked: "What's the contradiction here? Ouyangguang is naturally charming, and she's always charming no matter who she's with!"
"But isn't this weird?" Lin Xia put down her Coke. "Imagine him and Zhang Yixing having sex, and then I imagine him and Kim Ji-won having sex. Isn't that the same as... the same as..."
"Equal to what?" Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows.
"You're objectifying him!" Lin Xia blurted out, "The one you like isn't the real Ouyang Guang, but the various CP images you've imagined!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. Xiaoyu's smile froze on her face, and Lin Xia finally realized what she had said.
