Chapter 26: Keeping Together for Warmth



As soon as this blunt question was raised, everyone was stunned.

Obviously, no one could imagine that a low-ranking person with no background would dare to speak to Mr. Li in this manner.

And it sounded like these words were questioning whether Li Chengyuan was pretending?

The scene froze, and everyone thought that this was the courage to "do evil things" and ruin their star career in a matter of minutes.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan was not angry as everyone expected. He just had a blank expression on his face for a moment, and remained silent for a long time with a cold face - he even seemed to be somewhat embarrassed and confused.

When the director team saw that the situation was not going well, they rushed forward to mediate, fearing that the two would start quarreling in front of the camera, turning the original life experience into a husband-wife mediation program.

"Yeah!" The assistant director stepped forward and livened up the atmosphere, "Mr. Li, think about it again. Xingchi said this might be a psychological suggestion... maybe thinking about it more will cure it! Right!"

Everyone:?

It didn't help to ease the atmosphere at all, the scene became even more weird and frozen, and the assistant director was so embarrassed that he wanted to scratch his head on the spot.

Fortunately, Xia Xingchi had already realized that this was still in front of the camera, and in a fit of rage he actually opened his mouth and lifted half of his vest.

He rode his donkey quickly down the slope, his eyes still gazing at Li Chengyuan, and he said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Mr. Li, would you like to think about it again?"

Li Chengyuan pursed his lips slightly, his ears felt slightly hot, and he knew that this was just a way to smooth things over - but how did Xia Xingchi know that he was not afraid of blood?

Or did the little liar recognize him and remember what happened before?

[Fuck, Xia Xingchi's words really scared me, he is so brave]

[Help me, Xingchi, what’s wrong with you? Don’t mess with the big guy, don’t mess with the big guy, wuwuwu, I don’t want my baby to be banned]

[That’s not right...Why do I feel like Li Chengyuan is a little afraid of Xia Xingchi? His expression just now was obviously confused.]

[Isn’t this funny? Why don’t you say that the earth is bigger than the sun? 】

【real! I think so too! As soon as Xia Yu came up to him, President Li impatiently told him to get out, but when Xia Xingchi questioned him with such an attitude, he just remained silent? 】

[Bumped into it!] I just said there is something between them! Hahahaha, I didn’t expect Xingchi to be the one who has the final say at home! 】

[I don't believe it. Please let Mr. Li be alone. Thank you. What does this have to do with anything? 】

Li Chengyuan pursed his lips, and after a moment he said "hmm" faintly, which was regarded as accepting the step that the director team tremblingly handed to them.

The director team immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had followed Mr. Li's hint and wanted to help expose the relationship between the two in this reality show, it would be too scary if they announced it officially by having a quarrel.

Mr. Li’s young fiancé is obviously a troublemaker. When he gets angry, he will get angry with anyone.

Xia Xingchi dipped some iodine and wanted to press it hard on the wound on the back of Li Chengyuan's hand to avenge his deception, but he couldn't bear it in the end.

In the end, she just silently and fiercely hit Li Chengyuan's leg with her knee to express her anger. After applying medicine and treating his wound, she quickly got up and left, and continued to wash the remaining half of the dishes.

None of the six people knew how to cook, so this important task fell on the all-rounder Xia Xingchi.

Everyone looked over eagerly. Xia Xingchi did not refuse and rolled up his sleeves and said cheerfully, "Can someone help me light the fire in the kitchen? I'll arrange for the rest to wash the dishes, okay?"

As they gradually became familiar with each other, the atmosphere became lively and they immediately rushed to help in the kitchen.

Li Xiu had just put down the egg that had not hatched for a long time and raised his hand enthusiastically, when he suddenly saw a figure standing up out of the corner of his eye.

Li Chengyuan stood up and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it."

"Ah?" Xia Xingchi didn't expect him to do this, and immediately said, "No, don't..."

The closer she is to Li Chengyuan now, the easier it is to make trouble. What's more, "actively accompanying him to cook" is itself a very ambiguous topic, which greatly increases suspicion.

Li Chengyuan raised his hand expressionlessly and pointed at his right hand: "Don't touch water to wash dishes."

He spoke confidently, but after hearing it, Xia Xingchi just wanted to yell at him:

Then you can do nothing. Who requires the financial sponsor to do anything? !

But now he didn't dare to confront him anymore. The more he confronted him, the more suspicious he would appear. Xia Xingchi could only smile professionally and said, "Boss Li, you should take a rest. I can do it myself."

Before he could finish his words, Li Chengyuan had already strode into the kitchen in a very arbitrary and unquestionable manner.

Everyone was confused and didn't understand why he insisted on working, but they didn't dare to compete with him anyway.

Li Xiu slowly put down his raised hand, held the egg in his hand again, lowered his head and said nothing. Suddenly, a shocking and huge guess came to his mind.

Xia Xingchi: “…”

[I’m shocked! I have a bold idea! 】

[I have one too, I have one too. Who would have thought that the hidden treasure is actually my Xingchi baby]

[Ah, this?] There is nothing wrong with this. Isn't this just helping in the kitchen and cooking? 】

[Yes, yes, what Mr. Li said makes sense. His hand is injured and he can't wash dishes. Isn't it appropriate for him to help in the kitchen now? 】

[The logic seems to be correct, but I still wonder what’s going on (I’m just a passerby)]

There can’t be anything between them! No appointment, no appointment! 】

【yes! If you don’t believe me, let’s take a look at the shots in the kitchen. There’s nothing going on between them! 】

Unexpectedly, the fan was still saying "nothing", but was slapped in the face very quickly -

The camera in the kitchen suddenly went black, apparently the power was cut off, and even the sound could not be received.

As soon as Xia Xingchi entered the kitchen, he turned around and saw Li Chengyuan casually unplugging the power cord.

"you......?"

After being confused for a moment, Xia Xingchi suddenly became furious. Is someone afraid that everyone doesn't know that there is something going on between them?

As if trying to cover up something, the power was pulled out, and the screen went black, leaving everyone to imagine what was going on.

Xia Xingchi slammed the kitchen door shut as the villain's actions pushed his patience to the limit.

I wish I could kill him with three punches on the spot while there is no surveillance, so that I can jump to the stage of inheriting the estate.

Now that things have come to this, we might as well just throw the jar into the mix. Now that there was no camera, Xia Xingchi no longer had to pretend not to know him. He immediately changed his expression and asked angrily:

"What on earth do you want to do? Why don't you discuss this matter first? Do you want to scare me to death?"

It's totally out of character. It's fine that the villain wants to find a stand-in and express his love to his white moonlight, but his job also has to include continuing to stand-in for his white moonlight in front of the whole country?

"Do I need to inform you in advance of my 'life experience'?" Li Chengyuan answered calmly, looking down at him condescendingly.

This sounded familiar. Xia Xingchi remembered that he had said the same thing when he "ran away from home"... So this person has been holding a grudge for so long?

He took a deep breath and felt like he was about to hit his boss. He really couldn't understand what was wrong with that person that made him want to force him to officially announce the couple.

I couldn't help but start echoing the interview audio in my mind again. The voice with a hint of smile was completely different from the usual indifference, and it was obviously unique to the person I loved.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't calm down. I was so upset that I wanted to quickly plug in the camera and ask Li Chengyuan to leave, but suddenly I heard this person's subtle tone, and he asked slowly:

"Xia Xingchi, are you jealous of him?"

It seemed like a question, but the ending tone was flat and it sounded like a complete affirmation.

"...Nonsense! Of course not!!"

Two certain words in this sentence are like a series of sparks that finally ignited the firecrackers that were ready to go off!

Xia Xingchi instantly became angry and embarrassed, and couldn't help but raise his hand and punch Li Chengyuan.

Although there had been frequent "atrocities" of beating up perverted customers in the past, even having clothes lifted and waist touched was not as annoying as it was at this moment.

But now I can't find the reason why I am angry, but subconsciously I can't bear to hit him hard. It would be better to say that I pushed him with my fist rather than punching him.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan did not dodge or evade, and was hit by a punch on the chest. Then he took a half step back, and his back hit the rough and shaky wooden door, which made a loud creaking sound.

"Cough cough..." Li Chengyuan pressed his chest with one hand and began to cough uncomfortably.

Xia Xingchi was stunned. He had never seen such a scammer before. He had definitely shown mercy, but how could this person be so weak? It was as if he was not the one with the maximum strength before.

But seeing that Li Chengyuan's lips had really turned pale, Xia Xingchi couldn't help but believe it. He had to be fooled three times in the story of the boy who cried wolf. So he had to treat it as real and hurried forward to help him.

"Stop pretending."

I regretted it the second after I did it. Even if I just pushed him gently, he was still a delicate big cat, a glass species that could not be touched.

Li Chengyuan covered his lips and coughed softly. He felt a little pain in his chest. It was probably because of the ups and downs in his emotions that made his heart feel uncomfortable.

The question "Are you jealous?" was not meant to make Xia Xingchi angry, but to test whether he remembered the past and recognized her.

Otherwise, how on earth did he know so confidently that he would not faint from blood?

The result was still disappointing, but even amidst the disappointment, it was discovered that Xia Xingchi actually looked a little jealous.

This discovery immediately made Li Chengyuan feel secretly ecstatic, and for a moment his heart seemed to be pulled up and down by someone.

However, this "performance" is a bit exaggerated, with seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.

Because Xia Xingchi was found to be "jealous", he was obviously really angry. If he didn't act, it would take a long time to calm him down.

I've discovered before that he's prone to this trick and it works every time I try it.

The noise coming from the kitchen was neither loud nor quiet. The people outside the door could vaguely hear two people arguing, but they couldn't hear what they were arguing about.

However, it was already astonishing who could quarrel with President Li, and it sounded like Xia Xingchi was the main output, while Li Chengyuan hardly spoke.

Fortunately, at this distance only the people at the scene can hear the sound, the live broadcast radio equipment will not receive any sound, and netizens will not notice the discord.

An Jing turned her head to listen, and then couldn't help but look at Han Yuanhe. After the couple looked at each other tacitly, they obviously got an incredible and shocking answer to Xia Xingchi's identity.

Then, Xia Xingchi roared, calling out Li Chengyuan's name, and heard a "bang", the sound of something hitting the door, and Li Chengyuan coughing.

Shocked, when this young couple was committing domestic violence, it was actually Xia Xingchi who did it unilaterally?

Several people looked at each other as if they had discovered a new world, and were quite shocked and happy to eat melons.

Only Xia Yu had been left aside and ignored since a while ago. He couldn't be happy at all. He was gnashing his teeth in hatred but couldn't show it on the surface.

.

Xia Xingchi cooked very quickly, and dishes of delicious stir-fried and stewed dishes were served one after another. There was an immediate exclamation in the barrage:

[Wow wow!] This dish looks so delicious! Xingchi is amazing, he is a decathlon expert]

[Wow, I want to eat it too. You are indeed a foodie. People who know how to eat know how to cook! 】

[Speaking of which, the time when their screen was black just now... hehehehehe [狗头.jpg]]

[Hey what?] The director team has explained that the equipment ran out of power. This old-style house has few sockets, so it is normal that it cannot be used while charging.]

[I don't believe it. It's such a coincidence that the power went out as soon as I entered the door, and Li Chengyuan happened to be standing in front of the equipment at that time? 】

[Stop guessing, stop guessing, and eat quickly! Ah, look at them eating! 】

"This seems to be the most expensive meal I have ever eaten." Li Xiu sighed in a low voice.

The meal that the boss and his lover cooked together was completely like eating a meal prepared by the emperor and empress themselves.

Xia Xingchi calmly placed a few light dishes in front of Li Chengyuan.

This was specially made for him, hoping to comfort the injured cat's heart.

After all, who would have thought that just pushing him could make him so "sad" that he would have a heart attack?

Although it wasn't serious and didn't require medication, Xia Xingchi still didn't dare to mess with this fragile person in every sense of the word, and he really didn't care about his jealousy for the time being.

Just as a few people finished their meal and put down their chopsticks, they heard the director team tapping on the microphone to test the sound, as if they were about to say something.

Xia Xingchi tilted his head, thinking that today was just a warm-up, so there shouldn't be any tasks, right?

Just when I thought it was no good, I heard them say:

"I have some very unfortunate news to tell you all—"

"Due to special reasons, we have two fewer rooms than the number of people. Two of us will need to share beds with others for the time being."

Han Yuanhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this:

"That's it. That's easy. We can sleep together in this cold weather and it's still warm. The director's heavy breathing scared me to death. I thought there was another surprise mission."

For example, in the last episode, people were pulled out of bed in the middle of the night to break corn, so that the guests were so sleepy that they almost fell asleep hanging on the corn stalks.

Of course, since this bad idea completely ignored the fact that there would be no audience watching the live broadcast in the middle of the night and that the guests' lack of energy the next day would affect the effect, the final response was mediocre.

Learning from past experience, this issue shouldn’t be so perverted and anti-human.

"Yes, it's just a stack of beds, very simple and warm." Li Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Xia Xingchi couldn't help but feel puzzled and had to wonder what kind of conspiracy this was.

Although he knew that the reason for the lack of two rooms was probably because he and Li Chengyuan arrived one after another, it shouldn't be too difficult to prepare one more place to stay, right?

There are six people in four rooms. First of all, An Jing definitely cannot be with a male artist. Even her boyfriend Han Yuanhe is not suitable. After all, they are not married, so they should be especially conservative in front of passers-by who are nitpicking.

Then the precious Li Chengyuan was sent to a separate room——

As soon as Xia Xingchi had this thought in his mind, he saw Li Chengyuan looking up at him. The half-smile in his eyes clearly revealed his intention.

Xia Xingchi:.........

Help, please don't come over here, okay?

No wonder he didn’t agree when I said “We can make it up later if we don’t sleep together” a few days ago, and he is actually waiting here.

However, after sleeping together for a period of time, Xia Xingchi has indeed become somewhat accustomed to this warm and cool human-shaped pillow.

Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night and found myself hanging on Li Chengyuan. At first I was so frightened that I quickly slipped away from him.

But after a while, he became bolder and would just rub his head in a daze and continue to sleep with him in his arms. After all, he had never been caught and beaten before.

And it was not known whether it was because they slept in the same bed, but Xia Xingchi never saw Li Chengyuan take sleeping pills before bed again.

Although there are many benefits...this is in front of the camera after all!

[I bet one cent that Mr. Li will sleep with Xiao Yu! They must be real! 】

[It was so funny, and then in the middle of the night I kicked him to the ground and said "get out", right? [Li-style get out.GIF]]

[Why are you still forcing me to do this?] Are we still communicating in a friendly manner even after all this? Can't you see how much Li Chengyuan hates Xia Yu? 】

[You know nothing! This must be to avoid suspicion!] The more real it is, the more we should avoid suspicion.]

Xia Yu's fans were just trying to push their heads against each other when they heard Li Chengyuan say calmly under Xia Xingchi's murderous gaze: "Xia Xingchi, come and share a room with me."

Xia Xingchi: “.........”

Although I had expected this result, I had never been speechless so many times and wanted to hit someone so many times in one day.

【! ! ! ! 】

[There is definitely something going on between these two!] Touch goose eggs together, cook together, and sleep together? 】

[Oh shit!] Mr. Li took the initiative to invite me to sleep! The boss said "Come and let me sleep ♂" hehehe]

[I’ve hit it, I’ve hit it. President Li’s fans who support the US have begun to doubt that they are really a couple.]

[Han Yuanhe also sleeps with Li Xiu. What's the big deal? They're just sharing a bed. Why are you so excited? 】

[But Mr. Li took the initiative to share his bed with others! Of course the investor has the right to sleep alone, but he took the initiative to sleep with Xingchi! 】

[Isn’t this love for Xiaoyu?] This way Xiao Yu can sleep well by himself! Sacrifice yourself to let Xiaoyu sleep well! 】

【? ? ? I'm not Sister Li, is Xia Yu's family a sjb? 】

[Hello, I am a wholesaler of Liuliumei. Now I am going to send Liuliumei to Xia Yu's family. Here is the password: Are you okay? Just blindly knock with your eyes closed? 】

......

Fans of all parties are still in a melee, and fans of each CP and each group are in confusion. Even after discussing for several hours, they still stick to their own opinions.

Xia Xingchi lay down with the pillow in his arms, ready to grit his teeth and bite Li Chengyuan to death.

After all the weird things this guy did in one day, I, who was hiding safely in the cave, felt like he had grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and pulled me out. No matter how I struggled, I couldn't resist.

It's late autumn, the weather is extremely cold and there is no heating here.

During this period, Xia Xingchi stayed comfortably in Li Chengyuan's "greenhouse" and got used to the central temperature control system that was working all the time.

It was extremely cold after taking a shower, so I had to huddle in the quilt and shiver, hoping that someone would come back quickly after taking a shower so that I could hug him for warmth.

Because Li Chengyuan was overly picky about cleanliness, the room was cleaned inside and out many times and thick bedding was laid.

Although it is not as big as the big bed at home, at least I am luckier than other guests. The only drawback is that this hard kang is a bit narrow, and it may not be easy for two people to keep a distance when sleeping on it.

When Li Chengyuan dried his hair and pushed the door open, he saw Xia Xingchi popping out from the quilt like a mushroom, looking at him with wide eyes without saying a word, maintaining a new state of cold war.

Li Chengyuan: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Who wants to wait for you?"

After Xia Xingchi finished speaking, she shivered and quickly crawled back into the bed to cover herself, then rolled away from him.

The night was exceptionally dark after the lights were turned off. There wasn't even a street light outside the curtains, only pitch black.

It was dark and quiet, and time passed by second by second.

Xia Xingchi was so cold that he curled up into a ball. He couldn't fall asleep on the cold and hard kang. In his daydreaming state, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was hungry and cold.

When I was too poor to pay for heating and had no money to buy a thicker quilt, I would just curl up in the quilt and shiver... But now it's different, I have a big temperature-controlled pillow next to me.

Although Li Chengyuan's body temperature is slightly lower than that of ordinary people, it is still warm. Xia Xingchi is now staring at him motionlessly in the dark, intending to stick close to him to keep warm after he falls asleep.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Li Chengyuan remained motionless and his breathing was very regular. Xia Xingchi guessed that he was asleep.

So she slowly moved over, little by little, and carefully tucked herself into his arms. She then tried to tuck her head into the quilt and press it against his chest, wanting to be completely surrounded by this warm pillow.

However, his arms across his body were a bit of a hindrance, so Xia Xingchi carefully picked up the sleeves of his pajamas and tried to pull him up so that he could get in.

Li Chengyuan opened his eyes and watched Xia Xingchi fumble with the method for a long time but still couldn't get it right. Finally, he could no longer bear it.

He simply hugged the person in his arms, achieving the wind-blocking and warming posture he wanted in one step: "Are you cold?"

Xia Xingchi was startled by the human-shaped pillow's sudden speech. This person was actually awake!

It was not a good idea to use his boss as a shield, so he quickly tried to save face: "I, I just thought it would be warmer if we huddled together... I was just worried that you would get cold!"

"Okay. You're worried that I'll get cold." Li Chengyuan's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of laziness.

Maybe he had just fallen asleep and was woken up by this behavior.

Thinking of this, Xia Xingchi felt a little bad. It was such a sin and he felt guilty to wake up someone who had poor sleep quality.

Li Chengyuan pinched the back of his neck, but he was not annoyed. He just ordered, "Go to sleep quickly."

The less angry he was, the more guilty Xia Xingchi couldn't help feeling.

She couldn't help wondering if he had forgiven herself because she wasn't in a good mood when she woke up - or did he forgive the lookalike stand-in for Bai Yueguang's sake?

Thinking of the topic during the day that not only made him angry and embarrassed, but also almost made him beat up the sponsor, Xia Xingchi couldn't help but think of the word "jealous", but he quickly shook it off and refused to admit it.

The atmosphere between the two of them was silent for a long time. He knew that Li Chengyuan was not asleep yet. When he put his ear against his warm chest, he could hear his heartbeat slightly faster than usual. It was obvious that he did not look like a sleeping person. Instead, it seemed like he was thinking about something.

"Li Chengyuan," Xia Xingchi hesitated for a long time, and finally tried to make his tone less sour, and asked jokingly, "Where is your white moonlight?"

Usually the melodramatic plots are written like this, with the white moonlight always suddenly appearing from abroad or somewhere else.

Then Li Chengyuan would "fire" himself, stop paying him a salary, stop fighting for him, and stop sticking together with him.

However, Xia Xingchi regretted asking this question. Not to mention that it seemed a bit embarrassing, but Li Chengyuan might not want to answer this sad question.

The most important thing is that he suddenly remembered that the plot shouldn’t have developed like this?

After all, Li Chengyuan is about to die, so he should obviously play the villain first.

Just as he was thinking, Li Chengyuan held him in his arms in the darkness and replied calmly:

"Xia Xingchi, what if I say that the person I've been looking for is you."

The author has something to say: Mr. Li: (after being punched by his wife) straight ball shooting.jpg

Xiao Xia: I was stunned. I think he didn’t want me to sleep tonight.

Sorry for waiting everyone! I've been late every day these past two days. I decided to change for the better!
