Chapter 5 Human Life Matters vs. Icebreaking Game: First Game: Knowing...
For the next period of time, Xiao was extremely anxious.
Even though his lover was right beside him, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the opposite side, constantly shifting between Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin, like a small animal secretly observing humans.
However, when Lu Huaijin couldn't help but look at him, Xiao Ye quickly looked away and pretended to be busy. After Lu Huaijin looked away, he continued to steal glances at him.
Lu Huaijin couldn't help but find it amusing. He nudged Wen Yinhe beside him with his elbow and said, "Look how scared you've made the child. He won't even eat breakfast and is just staring at us."
Wen Yinhe calmly put a peeled orange into Lu Huaijin's mouth. He had tasted the orange beforehand and found it to be very sweet: "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a while."
Lu Huaijin thought to himself that this was true; he hadn't even done anything yet.
Fortunately, the remaining guests arrived quickly, preventing Xiao Ye's embarrassment from lasting too long.
When popular celebrity Shu Bao'er appeared, the barrage of comments reached its second peak after Wen Yinhe's.
Shu Bao'er dresses very youthfully, with delicate makeup on her face. She started as an idol and has tried singing and acting, but she hasn't done very well. However, she has a lot of fans and traffic, so even if she acts like a piece of crap, there are still a lot of people who will support her. This has also fostered her arrogant and complacent personality.
Shu Bao'er's husband, Du Ruopu, has a completely opposite personality to hers.
The first impression a man gives is that he is honest and mild-mannered.
Despite being quite good-looking, he wore large black-rimmed glasses, and his thick bangs almost covered half of his eyes. He greeted people slowly, and as soon as he uttered a single word, Shu Bao'er next to him rolled her eyes in disgust.
The man wasn't annoyed; he just smiled foolishly, which reminded one of capybaras, animals with astonishingly stable emotions.
It's clear that, unlike Zheng Shuming's feigned gentleness, this person is genuinely mild-mannered.
The last couple is a well-known internet celebrity and her wealthy second-generation husband.
The blogger's name is Tao Miller. She is very pretty and has a sweet smile. From the moment she came downstairs, she held her husband's arm the whole time and kept calling him "husband." She is a little woman who knows how to please men.
Her husband, Jiang Hengchuan, always looked at everyone with his chin held high, his eyes and brows full of arrogance and disdain. He wore a burgundy jacket covered in sequins and a pair of globally limited running shoes, which fit the public's stereotypical image of some arrogant and domineering rich second-generation.
The comments from the viewers were sharp and insightful:
[The life of an idol who rolls his eyes and his disliked Kapibala husband]
[The dodder vine and his flamboyant ordinary man]
[Wait, Miller used to be all about the first love boyfriend image, right? How come she's turned into a cross-dresser after getting married! (Tactical lean back)]
[Sigh, you guys don't understand. Didn't you see how Miller has practically turned that rich kid into a simple-minded creature? He's all about that kind of thing! (Lean back, add me to the list)]
[With my discerning eyes, I can spot three couples at a glance. I don't understand this pair of movie stars, so I won't make any grand pronouncements.]
[This last couple seems a bit odd, but at least they appear harmonious on the surface. Are these idols really not here to get a divorce? They don't even need the show's producers; they'll probably divorce themselves in six months.]
As soon as Tao Miller saw Lu Huaijin, his eyes lit up, and he hopped over with Jiang Hengchuan, who was full of disdain.
He raised his fair face, revealing a pair of round almond-shaped eyes, covered his mouth, and exclaimed in an exaggerated "Wow!": "I actually saw the richest man in China in person!"
【What?! Are they setting up a kids' channel for me?】
[Guards, drag this monster out of my sight!]
[Don't you dare sleep with idiots!]
[Oh Mommy! Evil spirit! Back! Back! Back!]
[I love the way netizens talk these days! I'd love to be their online friend again in my next life!]
Lu Huaijin's temples throbbed. He hated these kinds of scheming little things the most; they were so nauseating to look at.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and before he could utter a disgusted "get lost," a large, warm hand quietly grasped his palm.
Wen Yinhe stepped forward and shielded his irritated CEO behind him, his hands behind his back. He affectionately squeezed his lover's paws and soothed him, while smiling at Tao Miller and saying, "Hello, I'm Wen Yinhe. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Would you like something to eat first?"
Now that it's live streaming, everyone's words and actions will be magnified infinitely.
Although Lu Huaijin didn't care about outside opinions, Wen Yinhe, as someone who had personally experienced the online rumors, absolutely wouldn't allow his lover to be harmed in the slightest.
Unexpectedly, Tao Miller completely ignored Wen Yinhe and instead forced his head behind Wen Yinhe, giving Lu Huaijin a sweet smile: "Hello, Mr. Lu, my name is Tao Miller, you can just call me Miller. By the way, have you had breakfast? What do you like to eat? I'll get it for you."
Wen Yinhe: "..."
Lu Huaijin: "..."
"Hey, little brother, what's wrong with you...?"
Um, am I being paranoid?
[Damn you, you little green tea b*tch! Don't be confused, upstairs, your gut feeling is right! Her husband is right there beside her, and he keeps talking to President Lu, completely ignoring even the movie star! I don't need to tell you what he's thinking, right? Hehehe]
[I suddenly have a shocking thought! Could he possibly think that President Lu is the one above? (Sorry, even I think typing this is a bit dramatic.)]
[Hahahaha, I can't stop laughing, everyone! Does this little green tea b*tch realize he's seduced the wrong person? I'm laughing so hard just imagining his expression when he realizes he's standing upside down! Hahahaha!]
[Seriously, is this rich kid even mentally sound? His wife is flirting with another man right in front of him, and he doesn't even react?]
The answer is: I don't love you enough, so I don't care. (shrugs)
To be honest, the guests the production team chose this season are all pretty good. Looks like there's going to be some good shows this year! (Rubbing hands excitedly)
It's no exaggeration to say that Wen Yinhe could already hear the faint cracking sound of a fist behind him.
His temple twitched, and he instinctively turned around and grabbed Lu Huaijin's waist, pulling him into his arms while quickly saying, "Thank you, but no need, we've already eaten," before dragging his raging lover away.
It's not that he's cowardly.
If he didn't leave soon, he was afraid that if President Lu punched that little green tea, she would be instantly reduced to ashes.
In the past, there were always many suitors vying for Lu Huaijin's attention, but before Wen Yinhe could even feel jealous, all those unsavory characters had already been dealt with cleanly by President Lu, who had a severe case of mysophobia.
The process... can only be described as "tragic".
After many such incidents, whenever some clueless individual dared to provoke Lu Huaijin, Wen Yinhe would worry about what position to use to appease his boss that night so as not to cause any serious harm.
No matter what, human life is the most important thing.
Over there, Tao Miller followed Lu Huaijin's figure with lingering affection, tugging at Jiang Hengchuan's sleeve and urging her husband to chase after him: "Honey, aren't you going to say hello to Mr. Lu? Didn't you say you two know each other?"
The viewers in the live chat were speechless:
I've never seen such a tactless person.
【What a brain-stem-deficient idiot I am】
[Weren't the veins on President Lu's arm bulging just now? But...it's so rough...Actor, you should lick it! I shouldn't even imagine how good it would feel to grab the actor's back!]
[If the movie star hadn't stopped her, I suspect the little green tea b*tch would have been beaten to death by CEO Lu.)]
[You little green tea b*tch! Hurry up and thank the movie star for saving your life!]
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Jiang Hengchuan, whose eccentricity was no less than his wife's, scoffed dismissively and said something astonishing: "Does he have no legs? Why didn't he come and greet me?"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Xiao Ye chewed half of the crayfish in his mouth, and the other half fell out of his open mouth with a "plop".
He slid away at an astonishing speed, moving a full three meters in the opposite direction from Jiang Hengchuan, as if afraid of being implicated by President Lu.
Those around them were nearly scared to death, but Lu Huaijin himself didn't care at all. He just idly played with Wen Yinhe's slender and beautiful hand, as if the horrified or amused gazes around him were not as attractive as his lover's finger.
Wen Yinhe could not stand idly by; his usually gentle and peaceful expression turned serious.
He was always kind to others, and the only person he couldn't cross was Lu Huaijin.
He could endure seven years of insults and slander from the outside world, but he could not tolerate the slightest contempt or disrespect from others towards his loved one.
Wen Yinhe concealed the chilling glint in his eyes and asked the person beside him in a low voice, "Is there a grudge between you?"
“No,” Lu Huaijin said casually. “His father was one of the people who sponsored me in the past. I had some contact with him when I was a child.”
Lu Huaijin's upbringing is no secret.
He lost his parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. Due to his exceptional intelligence, he showed amazing talent and intellect from a young age, and was sought after by a group of wealthy people. He lived up to their expectations and has now grown to a level that even his former benefactors could not reach.
However, very little is known online about how Lu Huaijin rose to power step by step and what people and events he encountered along the way.
The stories of celebrities are always captivating, especially the story of a grassroots individual who rose from humble beginnings to become the richest man in China. Anyone would be curious about such a story.
Apart from Jiang Hengchuan, almost all the other guests had eyes filled with eagerness to watch the drama unfold.
Just as the viewers were about to listen a little longer, an unexpected heavenly sound came from above:
"Welcome to the recording studio of 'The Seven-Year Itch Season 2'! Throughout the recording, you are free to argue, laugh out loud, kiss on camera, or even get divorced at any time. You can get along well with the other guests, or you can be two-faced and sow discord! Do everything you can to make yourself and your loved one stand out and become the 'most loving couple on the internet'!"
"I'm sure everyone has already gotten to know the other guests a little during breakfast, but that's far from enough for the long journey of living together ahead. So, here comes the first game – the icebreaker: the test of understanding!"
"Have you truly delved into your loved one's heart? Do you really know the likes, dislikes, habits, past experiences, and innermost thoughts of the person who sleeps beside you every day? Is what you think you know truly true understanding? This 'Test of Understanding' will examine the extent to which you understand your loved one. Now, all guests, please proceed to the rooftop swimming pool of the villa to begin your test of understanding!"
[Damn it! Why didn't they let CEO Lu finish telling the gossip?! I'm so anxious!]
[Ah Li's opening remarks... her intention to stir up trouble is too obvious.]
[What do you mean by "divorce at any time"? Hahaha, this brings back memories of a famous scene from last season]
I've never seen a dating reality show encourage people to get divorced. Ah Li, you really have no morals at all! (doge)
The relationships between the characters this season are so complex! They're already at odds before the show even starts! It's great! I love watching it! It's hilarious!
Why do we have to go to the swimming pool to answer a question? Hehehe, I know, but I won't tell you.
As a seasoned pervert, all I can think about is—am I about to see handsome guys all wet?! Is it going to be this exciting right off the bat?
[Wait a minute, let me find my glasses first! (rummaging through drawers)]
