Chapter 70 Daily Life After Marriage: Can I Come to Your House? (Part 1)...
"Can I Come to Your House?" is a talk show featuring interviews with ordinary people.
After discovering that all the interviews available at Pierpoynter were about the "tragic realities of working people" and those at Apsseron were about "nightlife realities," Interstellar Peace Entertainment turned its attention to the Immortal Boat Alliance.
Just then, the Yaoqing Immortal Ship needed a lot of supplies for its war, and the Luofu Immortal Ship welcomed business partners. The other immortal ships all had some form of cooperation with the company...
And so, "Can I Go to Your House? ~Fairy Boat Chapter~" makes its grand debut!
Since Interstellar Peace Entertainment is a large and powerful company, they simply divided themselves into three groups to film on different celestial ships. They held a selection process for footage every week, with the winners receiving performance bonuses and future salary increases, ensuring that fresh and explosive footage was released every week.
At 11 p.m., the production team at Luofu Immortal Boat was gearing up, ready to once again achieve their weekly performance target after three consecutive attempts.
They set their sights on a formally dressed, white-haired man who exuded an air of mystery.
The producer's intuition told him that this person was bound to be the subject of explosive news.
The guests on the video call are guessing each other's ages.
Since the introduction of the Immortal Ship arc, guessing the characters' ages at the start has become a popular topic, generating considerable buzz regardless of whether the guesses are correct or incorrect.
[Dressed very maturely, perhaps three or four hundred years old?]
[He looks composed; he's probably over four hundred years old?]
He was wearing a new style from brand A, very trendy... I'd guess he was around a hundred years old.
...
After much guessing, the age range is basically all over 100 years old.
The producer and cameraman came up to greet them.
"Hello, we are from the 'Can I Come to Your House?' project team. We can pay for your taxi fare, may we come home together?"
The white-haired man raised his head, revealing a handsome face.
The producer and the guest on the video call exclaimed in surprise.
He could tell from the back that the other person was good-looking, but he didn't expect him to be this good-looking from the bottom up.
With looks like that, she could easily be a star.
The producer felt that this handsome guy looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
But the other person didn't have any influencer vibes, and their profession didn't seem like it either.
He was wearing a dark blue cheongsam-style inner lining paired with a long white coat embroidered with gold thread, making him look like an academic who had been immersed in research for many years.
Judging from his muscles and the background of the immortal ship, the guest guessed that he was probably a craftsman or a Cloud Cavalryman, or possibly a judge of the Ten Kings Division.
If it's the judge of the Ten Kings' Court, then this time they've really dug up a big one.
"Excuse me, may I search first?" the man asked.
The producer expressed understanding.
Their show wasn't famous enough to be known by everyone yet, and there were indeed few people who knew about Xianzhou. The first few episodes were very difficult to produce.
The man opened the jade tablet, searched on it, and suddenly realized what it meant.
“For interview programs… I need to ask my partner’s opinion first.”
He didn't seem to mind.
That means there's potential!
[You have a lover?!]
No wonder he was carrying fresh vegetables, and it looks like he also had desserts from H's shop.
Is it the only branch in Xianzhou? I ate there when I was traveling there before, and it was delicious!
The man turned slightly to the side and made the call.
The sound was a little soft, but it was captured by the camera and transmitted accurately to the headset.
“Ah Yuan…no, no, I can go back by myself. You can continue to rest at home. I’ve bought the milk tea and desserts you wanted. I’ll drive the Starship back by myself in a bit. I’ll call you when the late-night snack is ready.”
"Here's the thing, there's a talk show called... Would you like to participate?"
The producer's eyes were shining.
Handsome guy, has a loving partner, and a nice voice—this episode is already half-winnable just by looking at his face!
"Can."
The man turned around and said, "But there's no need for a fare. I've brought the Star Chariot, so please get on."
The production team quickly got in, thoughtfully avoiding the passenger seat.
The Star Chariot has a cool gray-purple streamlined shape with many harsh lines and patterns, which seems somewhat out of place with the owner's age.
The producer noticed the red ornament on the car and asked, "Excuse me, what is this?"
These didn't seem to be on the starships he had previously traveled on.
In addition to the ornaments, there are also several cute little dolls and animals on the table of the Starship control terminal.
Upon hearing this, the man looked over, his eyes filled with tenderness. "That's a safety amulet my wife made for me, and some handicrafts we made together."
[...There are many elements of stars and feathers.]
After adjusting the destination and driving mode, he took out a few small bread rolls from between the seats, saying, "If you get hungry, you can eat a few."
"Was this also prepared by your lover?"
“No, I prepared these,” he said, his smile wide as he spoke of his partner. “Sometimes when we go on road trips, he’ll want to eat some snacks.”
The producer noticed there were lunchboxes and similar items inside, and then asked, "Will you bring your own lunch?"
Yes, we usually do it together.
Wow... what a heartwarming everyday scene!
Just listening to him speak makes me feel so happy...
If the cameraman hadn't reminded the producer, he could have asked about this issue for several more minutes.
"May I ask your name and age?"
The man sized them up. "Ying Xing, you're thirty-nine this year."
The control room was in complete chaos.
[Thirty-nine - ? ? ?]
[I guessed none of them right!!!]
[This must be a lie!]
[It feels like the people in their thirties from the Xianzhou ship are about the same age as us in our teens, so how come there's actually someone in their thirties now...]
The producer had already interviewed several Xianzhou people who were around three or four hundred years old, and they all expressed doubt about Ying Xing's age.
Ying Xing seemed to have anticipated this, and produced his identification.
I am indeed thirty-nine years old.
The producer was genuinely surprised.
But he quickly realized—this could be an excellent topic!
#On the Deceptive Nature of the Appearance of the Immortal Boat People#
"You've been talking about your partner the whole time. May I ask what your partner does for a living..."
"Like me, they are all craftsmen from the Bureau of Works."
The producer was just about to ask if it was an office romance when they arrived home.
A residential building located in the central area of Changletian looks very expensive.
Before coming to Xianzhou, the producer had learned about the prices of various goods and services there. The house in front of him... he probably couldn't afford it in his entire life.
[The property prices here, converted to credits, seem to be over a billion...]
The craftsmen in the Immortal Boat Alliance earn a lot of money, and this Mr. Yingxing is at least a master craftsman.
His lover is probably quite capable.
Yingxing took the groceries he had bought from the trunk, opened the door, and led them in.
Since getting married, they have moved to a better house and renovated it to suit He Yuan's tastes, making it more youthful and fun.
It doesn't look like Yingxing's style.
The garden at the entrance is filled with irises, interspersed with other flowers and flowering trees, with a swing set and afternoon tea table placed in the middle, at the perfect angle to receive the afternoon sun.
On the other side is a pond, filled with lotus flowers and koi swimming in it.
Pushing open the door, you are greeted by an eye-catching crystal chandelier and a spiral staircase, and the entire living room is very spacious.
Yingxing took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack by the entrance before going into the kitchen.
This renovation clearly took a lot of effort.
[They laid out so many carpets, were they afraid you'd fall and get hurt? (laughs)]
That staircase is also very pretty, but it must be quite long to walk up.
After filming for a while, the cameraman discovered that one wall was covered with photos of a person.
He patted the producer on the shoulder and pointed past.
That person in the white suit, holding flowers... isn't that the ever-popular "Peach Blossom Fairy"?!
The producer looked over and immediately asked, "Is Mr. Yingxing a fan of Mr. Heyuan?"
Ying Xing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I am his fan."
But... won't his partner be angry if there are so many photos of him displayed in the house?
Yes, if it were me, I really couldn't accept it.
Perhaps his lover likes it too?
The producer followed Ying Xing into the kitchen, filming him preparing a late-night snack while asking him questions.
"So you made a special wall of photos of your partner? Won't your lover get angry?"
[A brave producer.]
[I'm just asking because I'm really curious!]
Ying Xing was somewhat puzzled, but then he realized what was going on and gave a mischievous smile.
[That smile... if Mr. Yingxing smiled like that at his lover, he'd probably forgive him on the spot.]
"Hmm... he gets angry sometimes."
—I feel a little ashamed, especially when doing certain things in front of the photo wall.
"But when he saw it for the first time, he was so moved that he cried."
—Because Yingxing also gave seventeen birthday gifts, making up for all the previous ones.
Producer: "W-Is that so...?"
He asked hesitantly, "Does your partner also like Mr. Heyuan?"
Ying Xing nodded immediately, "Yes, he also likes He Yuan very much."
He Yuan certainly liked herself very much.
In his heart, he himself is number one.
Yingxing knew, but didn't mind.
He will leave sooner or later, and if this can lessen his suffering, then so be it.
And he is very happy now, so these things don't matter.
So, did these two people get together because of shared interests?
[They came together because they were in the same industry and shared similar interests.]
[It sounds like a gradual, long-term process.]
Seeing that there was nothing more to explore in this one, the producer changed the subject.
"I just heard Mr. Yingxing mention that his wife is resting, so why are you doing all this?"
He pointed to the dishes Yingxing had prepared.
Judging from the portion size, it doesn't seem like enough for one person.
Yingxing: "This is a late-night snack I made for him, and there's also some for you guys."
"Huh—we have some too?"
The producer stared at the food in the pot with shining eyes.
Since coming to Luofu Xianzhou, although the pressure of KPIs has increased, there are really a lot of delicious foods in Xianzhou. Even the people you randomly pick up on the street are excellent cooks. I have indeed gained some weight and gotten a bit of happy fat.
Yingxing skillfully tossed the wok, then dipped the prepared skewers in the seasoning.
"Well, we can't let you watch us eat."
If a crane or kite appears before them, it must not leave any flaws.
Whether as a partner or a fan, Yingxing would not allow it.
The production team was so moved they cried out, and the guest room was also filled with excitement.
Back when I was in Pierpoint or Aprilon, I was either a corporate slave with only a discounted meal after get off work, or a regular bar patron preparing to go clubbing. It was good enough if I didn't give the production crew any drinks.
It's nothing like a fairy boat, where you can enjoy a late-night snack made by the host family.
Yingxing opened the large refrigerator, and the dazzling array of ingredients was breathtaking.
[The ingredients here should last for more than a month, so why does he still need to go grocery shopping?]
[So many delicious seasonings, and rare ingredients... so many delicious things! Please, please, could you please put them in the refrigerator and let me try them out?]
Your idea is hilarious.
After obtaining permission, the producers also filmed the refrigerator.
Producer: "Are all these ingredients usable?"
Besides the food, there was a bunch of bottled water in the refrigerator, with brands that the producer, a typical office worker, would never dare to touch.
But Yingxing took out two bottles to cook.
"Yes, sometimes friends come over for meals, and we also have a holiday every month. If we can't finish the food, we'll bring it to the office for our colleagues."
I'd be willing to work with you as a colleague.
Working with them means not only regular food treats but also the chance to ship couples—what an amazing life!
Just by listening to Mr. Yingxing's words, I could feel the happy atmosphere between them.
Producer: "The purpose of using mineral water for cooking..."
Ying Xing succinctly stated: "Use the best available."
Of course, he hadn't paid any attention to these things before.
Later, when he got together with He Yuan, he wanted to give her a better life, so he learned about these things.
The producer sensed something fishy: "Is it because of your lover?"
Ying Xing answered truthfully: "Yes, I didn't pay much attention to these things before, but later I felt that I had to take on responsibilities after getting married, so I learned a lot about them."
[It's making my teeth ache.]
[It's truly happiness that you can see at a glance.]
Don't you think he was genuinely happy when he did these things? We've interviewed some housewives before, and they also did a lot for their partners, but when they talked about it... it wasn't like this at all.
The guest concluded: "His partner must have unconditionally affirmed Mr. Yingxing. In Mr. Yingxing's eyes, everything he did was meaningful and praiseworthy, so he was completely happy and content."
What you said makes sense; Mr. Yingxing seems to be enjoying this feeling.
[A bit chauvinistic, haha]
However, even if it's this kind of male chauvinism, male chauvinism won't become a derogatory term.
The producer felt there was great potential in this story and then asked, "Before? How did you live before?"
Ying Xing pondered, "It's probably about sleeping, eating, and forging."
Producer: "Don't you have any other forms of entertainment?"
Ying Xing shook his head: "No."
[So, his current state is practically a super evolution, isn't it?]
How marriage changes a person (laughs)
[Before, I was just a science and engineering guy who only knew how to forge things. After meeting my destined one, I understood the meaning of life.]
[It has a very heartwarming romance novel style.]
He brought out the food prepared for the staff and told them to eat first.
"Excuse me, it's not convenient to take pictures upstairs. Would you like to eat first?" Ying Xing said. "I'll go upstairs and call him."
The producer nodded: "Of course!"
Based on the footage we just recorded, this episode is already a sure thing; there's no need to go upstairs anymore.
Ying Xing breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs.
He thought that if the clothes in the upstairs dressing room were photographed, it wouldn't have a good impact.
When he got to the bedroom door, he knocked first and received a muffled "Come in."
Pushing open the door, the young man was lying on the bed, hugging a pillow, looking rather listless.
When He Yuan saw him arrive, she beckoned with her finger, "Help me get dressed—"
The ending note was drawn out considerably.
He Yuan didn't have any work scheduled today, so she didn't go to work.
As a result, Yingxing came twice in the morning and twice more when he went home to cook lunch, perfectly consuming the number of visits in a day.
It's tough on He Yuan; she has to use her hard-earned vacation time to recuperate.
Yingxing stepped forward, picked him up, and led him into the dressing room.
He Yuan finalized a set of long-sleeved shirts and suit pants.
It can cover up quite a lot.
Yingxing simply tied his hair into a ponytail, covered the marks with foundation, and the two of them walked down the stairs, pulling and tugging at each other.
During this time, He Yuan's legs went weak countless times, but fortunately Ying Xing supported him.
Every time someone helps you up, you glare at them and step on their slippers.
When they reached the middle of the stairs, the cameraman and producer finally saw the figure clearly and gasped in shock.
The cameraman shakily put the camera down.
"Can we really afford this guy's appearance fee?"
[What do you mean by "shared idol"... You've clearly managed to get your idol on your way!!]
[Yingxing, Yingxing, how could I forget this guy who looked just like you know who?]
[Previously, Mr. Heyuan, in order to ensure his lover could live a normal life, had someone clean up all her information online.]
[I've made a two-way trip.]
The producer also worked overtime, calling his superiors to inquire about funding.
At least pay the filming fee!
He Yuan sat on a cushioned chair and pressed the phone button. "No need, I don't charge you."
Individual business owners have a lot of confidence when they speak.
【！！】
Wow, no appearance fee? The producer must be incredibly touched.
She shed tears.
With a promotion and raise just around the corner, how could you not be moved?
Now that the deity has spoken, the cameraman diligently began filming.
He recorded how Yingxing took out the desserts she had queued up to buy from the refrigerator, made a delicious-looking noodle dish with minced meat sauce and many side dishes, and served them one by one to Heyuan, along with a plate of washed fruit.
Just like serving one's ancestors.
He Yuan also ate slowly with chopsticks, occasionally taking a bite of the fruit Ying Xing handed her.
They were so intimate, as if no one else existed.
I feel like I'm the same way with my cat; I take care of everything for her.
【I also. 】
[It's so cute to see this side of a big star in private.]
The atmosphere between them seems so sweet; they're clearly a loving couple.
Is this what it should be like after four years of marriage?
Seeing that He Yuan had almost finished eating, the producer rubbed his hands together and asked, "Would you mind answering a few questions?"
He Yuan, who had just finished eating her noodles and was having fruit as a snack, nodded upon hearing this.
"Ask away, whether I answer or not is up to me."
[It's confirmed, it really is He Yuan hhhh]
That's definitely true.
[Even a few casual remarks are big news now; the producer is probably racking his brains for a sensational headline.]
Producer: "There were rumors circulating online that you were the one who pursued Mr. Yingxing first. Is that true?"
This is also a question that most netizens are still debating.
Discussions about this issue can easily garner hundreds of thousands of views each time.
I want to know too!
[The producer really knows what the audience wants to see, hahaha]
He Yuan: "I was the one who pursued her first."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The cameraman almost dropped his hand, and the staff member who was eating rice in the frame was so shocked that he forgot to chew.
He Yuan wasn't surprised at all. "It was only natural that I should have taken the first step."
He smiled and glanced at Ying Xing, "Speaking of which, I've been rejected by Brother Ying Xing a few times."
Sensing big news, the producer asked with great interest, "So, how did you feel at the time?"
He Yuan: "To be honest, I'm a little hesitant and a little annoyed, but mostly I understand."
【……understand? 】
They actually refused?!
[That takes incredible willpower!!!]
[Just looking at her face, I wouldn't be able to resist... (dazed)]
Producer: "You understand? Can you explain why?"
He Yuan: "Because I am a long-lived species, a native of the Immortal Boat, while Brother Yingxing is a short-lived species who came to the Immortal Boat to learn skills."
He paused, "We're about the same age, but I have several hundred years left to live, while he only has a few decades."
【I see. 】
[I'm immoral; I'd be overjoyed and agree immediately, then cling to him for a hundred years.]
So Mr. Yingxing achieved his goal, while you can't even afford a small card.
The producer glanced cautiously at Ying Xing, "Then may I be so bold as to ask, what do you two like about each other?"
[Actually, I wanted to ask Mr. Heyuan why he likes Mr. Yingxing (laughing and crying)]
[Yes, according to the data from the Immortal Boat Alliance, many Immortal Boat members tend to find partners of the same race, followed by other long-lived species and short-lived species... So far, it seems there's only this one case.]
He Yuan answered first: "Because Ying Xing is not only handsome, but also outstanding and has a good personality, why wouldn't I like him?"
He proudly raised his head, "Brother Yingxing is the first short-lived Hundred-Ye in the history of Immortal Ship. In the Hundred-Ye Grand Refinement more than ten years ago, he defeated many people who were hundreds of years older than him and became the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the entire Immortal Ship Alliance."
His tone was exactly like a storyteller's, full of flattery, and his expression was one of pride, which made the staff members smile.
On some drowsy nights, the other person's light completely illuminates the night, dispelling the weariness.
The producer's tone was already tinged with sarcasm, "Just because of that?"
Without hesitation, He Yuan replied, "Of course there are other reasons, but I can only tell Yingxing-ge."
He subtly tucked his index finger together, but turned his head towards Ying Xing, saying, "This is a secret between us."
Am I right? Mr. Yingxing's lover must be someone who unconditionally affirms him!
[It seems like Mr. Heyuan's ideal type ranking will jump significantly after this episode airs.]
I want a lover like that too...
In this relationship, the older partner represents a calm and tolerant nature with the patience to do anything for you, while the younger partner embodies a loving attitude that affirms all your actions and an open and honest affection.
Never mind, let's wish them a long and happy marriage and many children!
The producer looked at Ying Xing and asked, "And what about Mr. Ying Xing?"
Yingxing's ears turned slightly red from Heyuan's teasing. "I'm about the same, but what I like most... is Ayuan's personality, or rather, Ayuan's soul."
The producer stopped there, smiling as he changed the subject, "Where did you two first meet?"
He Yuan replied, "It was on the street in the central area of Xingchahai. I was running in a hurry and accidentally bumped into him."
Ying Xing added, "I originally studied on the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, and came to the Luo Fu Immortal Ship to participate in the Hundred Metal Refining Grand Refinement, but I just arrived at my destination..."
"You just found love around the corner, right?"
The producer asked He Yuan, "Then what was the rush for?"
He Yuan hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "It's to queue up for hot goat milk, because it'll be sold out if we're late."
Ying Xing glanced at him suspiciously, but said nothing.
The guest room was filled with excitement.
There's definitely a story behind this!
[This is definitely not just about hot, floating goat milk!]
The producer wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he met Ying Xing's gaze, he wisely refrained from doing so.
When did those two realize their feelings for each other?
He Yuan pondered for a moment, "It must have been when I was about twenty years old. Suddenly, everything in front of me seemed to have changed, and then I was attracted to Brother Yingxing."
"He's always helped me, and he's good-looking, so it's hard for me not to like him."
Is it because I've matured and started feeling the effects of hormones?
[It has such an ABO novel feel to it, haha!]
Ying Xing hesitated to speak, but under pressure from He Yuan and the producer, she finally said, "At first sight. The moment I saw A Yuan, I liked him."
"So it was love at first sight?!"
Another round of screams erupted in the guest room, and even He Yuan stared at him with wide eyes.
-----------------------
A note from the author: Because I haven't written much since getting married and didn't know where to start, I decided to begin with this program.
I've deleted it. Let's just enjoy the sweet moments together, everyone.
