748 is feeling quite pleased with himself right now.
It was also capable of applying what it learned to other systems; after scanning Xie Chen, it scanned Chen Lan in the same way.
To everyone's surprise, they discovered that the other person possessed a cheat code—the aura of being a heartthrob!
No wonder so many people were completely infatuated with Chen Lan in the original storyline, to the point that they even went so far as to persecute promising athletes from the national swimming team.
Hmph!
It'll see who dares to call it a little good-for-nothing or an idiot in the future!
748 waited smugly for the reaction of the floating white, but the result was...
No response.
It's not that there was no reaction, but rather that the reaction wasn't on it, but on Xie Chen.
Fu Bai clung to Xie Chen's back as he carried her toward the changing room.
Throughout this process, Xie Chen remained remarkably quiet, simply walking forward in silence.
Fu Bai reached out and gently grabbed Xie Chen's ear, whispering, "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy."
Xie Chen said listlessly, "I'm fine."
Fu Bai chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against Xie Chen's ear, causing a slight tickle.
Fu Bai: "Why don't you go look in the mirror? Do you look like someone who's alright right now?"
They're still young, and all their emotions are written on their faces.
Xie Chen fell silent again.
Fu Bai directly exposed his question: "Because of Zheng Siyu?"
Hearing this name, Xie Chen's heart tightened.
Before he came to record "Expired Lovers", he had already learned about the variety show and the guests who participated in the recording.
He knew that Shen Fubai and Zheng Siyu were ex-lovers who had dated for two years. Shen Fubai seemed to still have feelings for Zheng Siyu and wanted to win her back by recording a variety show.
Before meeting Fu Bai, this was just background to the show, an insignificant presence to him.
Xie Chen never imagined that he would fall in love with Fu Bai at first sight. As a result, Fu Bai's feelings for Zheng Siyu were like a thorn stuck in his throat, causing him great discomfort.
"Hmm." Xie Chen didn't want to deceive Fu Bai, so he held back for a long time before finally managing to utter only one word.
Fu Bai pinched Xie Chen's ear hard and laughed without restraint: "Xie Chen, has anyone ever told you that you're cute?"
Xie Chen didn't know how to answer the question, but hearing Fu Bai's laughter, he couldn't help but smile.
She clearly still cared about Zheng Siyu.
After laughing enough, Fu Bai suddenly whispered in Xie Chen's ear in a voice that they could both hear, "Xie Chen, let's go get a room."
"ah?"
Xie Chen stumbled and almost fell flat on his face, his skin turning red at a visible speed.
He managed to stammer out, "Don't...don't joke like that."
Fu Bai's voice was still very soft, and his breath warmed Xie Chen's ears, making him feel restless and itchy: "Aren't you very concerned? Perhaps we can test it?"
The relationship between Shen Fubai and Zheng Siyu is not like that of a normal couple.
Shen Fubai is sensitive and insecure, and he resists being touched by others. Zheng Siyu's relationship with Shen Fubai is less like a romance and more like raising a pet that she can summon and dismiss at will, and she doesn't want to touch him at all.
The two dated for two years, one was afraid and the other was disgusted, but they did nothing.
Of course, Fu Bai did not explain these things to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen also said, "I don't care about that, I... I just want to know if you still like him..."
Fu Bai's answer this time was very straightforward: "I don't like it anymore."
He paused for a moment, then added, "After seeing you, I stopped liking him."
After saying that, he gave Xie Chen a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I see."
Xie Chen carried Fu Bai into the changing room, went directly into one of the cubicles, put him down, and then pinned him between himself and the wall, his hounding eyes fixed on Fu Bai's.
His eyes held shyness, trepidation, and an indomitable courage.
"Fu Bai..." Xie Chen leaned closer to Fu Bai, his voice hoarse and trembling, "May I kiss you?"
Fu Bai raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Xie Chen impatiently bumped into him.
That was a bit too strong.
Fu Bai's teeth ached from the impact, so he reached out and grabbed Xie Chen's hair, trying to pull him away.
Fortunately, Xie Chen realized his rashness a second later and became gentler.
Fu Bai's hand then loosened, changing from a grasp to a caress.
After the kiss ended, Fu Bai licked his chapped lips and said somewhat irritably, "I didn't agree to that."
The big dog that kissed the person smiled brightly and confidently: "I read your lips, and your lips tell me you agreed."
Fu Bai: "..."
Fine, let's just keep spoiling them, what else can we do?
There were photographers from the production crew waiting outside the changing room. The two didn't stay inside for long before changing and going out.
Fu Bai asked Xie Chen beside him, "Where are you planning to go?"
Xie Chen muttered under his breath, "Didn't we say we were going to get a hotel room?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Bai casually remarked, "That works too."
Xie Chen's eyes immediately lit up as he looked over.
Fu Bai then poured cold water on the idea: "If you can shake off the production team and give a reasonable explanation..."
Xie Chen's dog ears and tail drooped down again, visible to the naked eye.
Fu Bai ruffled Xie Chen's hair: "Go anywhere, any couple's date spot is fine."
Clearly, the word "couple" excited Xie Chen again. Holding Fu Bai's hand, they walked out of the swimming pool.
Meanwhile, 748 was reporting the situation to Fu Bai.
[Floating white, something's up.]
[Chen Lan might like Xie Gougou. After you came out of the locker room, Chen Lan kept looking at Xie Gougou.]
However, I am just an emotionless system, unable to decipher the emotions in Chen Lan's eyes.
