Chapter 221 A New Journey Begins!
When Xu Wang woke up the next day, his first feeling was a headache and a throbbing sensation in his head, followed by a familiar aches and pains.
Xu Wang opened his eyes and lay on the bed, trying hard to recall what happened last night. He couldn't help but raise his arm to cover his face. Good heavens, what had he done last night? He had put on that shirt on his own initiative? And when he couldn't fasten the drawstring, he had to ask Pei Yanchuan for help?
Just as Xu Wang was questioning himself, Pei Yanchuan walked in carrying freshly brewed honey water.
"Awake?" Pei Yanchuan looked at his lover lying on the bed, seemingly questioning the meaning of life, and gently placed the water glass in his hand on the table next to him.
Xu Wang felt the bedside lower, and then he was pulled into a warm embrace.
"Does your head hurt? I made some honey water, have some." Pei Yanchuan carefully and gently picked up the glass and slowly brought it to Xu Wang's lips.
Upon seeing this, Xu Wang stretched out his hands, grabbed the water glass, and drank it all in two or three gulps.
Whether it was a placebo effect or the honey water actually worked, Xu Wang actually felt some relief from his headache.
“Next time, if I’m not by your side, you absolutely mustn’t drink so much,” Pei Yanchuan said earnestly, taking the empty water glass from Xu Wang’s hand.
Xu Wang didn't quite understand for a moment. What did he mean by "next time when you're not by my side, I definitely can't drink this much"? With his current low alcohol tolerance, he was already planning not to touch any alcohol at all when he went out. Drinking this little bit was worse than not drinking at all.
As Xu Wang pondered, he finally asked his own question.
Pei Yanchuan paused as he put down his water glass. He pursed his lips, but didn't say a word.
Xu Wang suddenly realized there was no sound behind him and turned around in confusion. He was met with Pei Yanchuan's slightly guilty expression.
Looking at the other person's guilty expression, Xu Wang suddenly had a bold guess. Xu Wang's expression changed rapidly three times throughout the process.
He went from confusion to shock, and then to disbelief.
"You little brat, you're not thinking of taking advantage of me while I'm drunk, are you?"
……………………
The bedroom suddenly fell silent, and the two could even hear Nuomi playing in the living room.
"Don't even think about it. I was careless last night, and I will never do it again." Xu Wang said through gritted teeth, almost as if he was about to promise never to drink again.
Over the next two days, Pei Yanchuan's top-notch legal team proved to be very effective, with ample evidence, both witnesses and physical evidence. The Zhong couple simply couldn't afford a legal team to compete with them, and in the end, both Zhong Ran and Zhong Yuan were sent to jail.
After the results were released, everyone cheered.
Half a month later, Pei Yanchuan's wound on his arm had almost healed.
On this day, the two finally got a day off.
The long-quiet chat group for the program has finally become lively again.
Director: Dear teachers, our ninth episode of the new journey is about to begin. It's been so long since we last met, have you missed me? [Winks]
Assistant Director: [Winks]
Xia Yu: ……
Yunxi: ...
Jiang Xiubai: Who are you?
Gu Yunlan: Hahahaha, what a fine "Who are you?" These two words are enough to kill everything.
Director: I don't care, I don't care, I'll just assume you guys missed me. [Proudly puffs out his chest]
Xu Wang: [wiping sweat (′-﹏-`；)]
Director: Mr. Pei, look at him~~~
Gu Yunlan: Huh~~~
Qin Huai: Hiss—
Xia Yu: Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
Pei Yanchuan: Yes, it looks great.
Jiang Xiubai: Oh no, it's that feeling of choking on sugar again.
Gu Yunlan: I have a feeling that this director is shooting himself in the foot. Why bother?
Xia Yu: I completely agree with the comment above. [Both hands and feet in agreement]
The director seemed to be pushed to his limit by the comments in the group chat, and he finally steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Director: Without further ado, let me announce our travel destination for episode nine: the vast and boundless grasslands! We'll be embarking on a camping trip there, and there are new games waiting for you! [Applause][Applause][Applause]
Assistant Director: [Yay!]
Gu Yunlan: [Yay!]
…………
Xia Yu: [Yay!]
Jiang Xiubai: No, where did you guys get all these emojis?
Yunxi: Hey upstairs, don't break the formation!
………………
Xu Wang subconsciously looked up towards the balcony when he saw the message Pei Yanchuan posted in the group chat.
On the balcony, Pei Yanchuan was fully armed as he combed Nuomi's fur, clumps of fur rolling onto the floor.
Xu Wang got off the sofa, put on his slippers, walked to the balcony door, and opened it.
At this moment, the balcony floor was covered with Nuomi's dog hair, and that wasn't all. Pei Yanchuan was still combing, and the comb in his hand was still accumulating Nuomi's dog hair.
Xu Wang found a place to put his feet down. Nuomi was now comfortable after being groomed, and it lazily lay on the ground. It would raise its paws when told to, spread its belly when told to, and raise its head when told to.
After half a month of hard work, Nuomi's weight loss plan has begun to show results. In half a month, Nuomi has successfully lost two pounds.
Nuomi didn't give up its battle of wits with Pei Yanchuan over the past two weeks. It snatched the whole chicken leg while Pei Yanchuan was cooking vegetables, or snatched the big snack while Pei Yanchuan was feeding it and ran away.
Xu Wang squatted down next to Pei Yanchuan and looked at Nuomi. Although she had only lost two pounds, Nuomi's overall appearance had changed quite significantly. Xu Wang wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Nuomi's waistline had become more defined.
The night before they were to leave for the airport, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan delivered glutinous rice to the old house again.
After dinner, Pei Yanchuan and Grandpa Pei had a serious conversation in the study, mainly about Nuomi's weight and health.
Pei Yanchuan meticulously prepared a document and a screen recording of the veterinarian's advice. The document explained the dangers of overweight dogs, and Pei Yanchuan also marked the solutions at the end of the document.
In the living room, Nuomi put on its shiny crown again and happily ran around the hall. The old house's hall was very large, and Nuomi only ran around a couple of times before sticking out its tongue.
The old housekeeper stood to the side, watching Nuomi run around with a kind expression.
Half an hour later, the door to the study on the second floor was reopened.
Old Master Pei came downstairs with a serious expression, while Pei Yanchuan looked relaxed, even a little satisfied. It seemed that Pei Yanchuan had won a great victory in this negotiation.
Old Master Pei beckoned to the old butler and whispered a few words in his ear.
The old butler's expression went from calm to shock, and then to making a decision.
Xu Wang nudged Pei Yanchuan beside him with his elbow, looking bewildered.
"What's going on?" Xu Wang asked in a very low voice.
Pei Yanchuan smiled without saying a word, with an expression that suggested he had everything under control.
Xu Wang turned back, his curiosity growing.
Immediately afterward, to Xu Wang's astonishment, the old butler gathered all the snacks belonging to Nuomi from the old house and stuffed them all into Pei Yanchuan's trunk.
Nuomi, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, was happily chirping around everyone's feet.
That evening, on the way home.
"What exactly did you and Grandpa talk about in the study? Grandpa actually emptied all of Nuomi's snacks." Xu Wang looked curiously at Pei Yanchuan, who was driving.
Pei Yanchuan didn't say anything, but simply asked Xu Wang to turn on his computer.
Xu Wang took out his tablet and turned it on; a file immediately popped up on the screen.
Xu Wang glanced through the contents of the document and gave Pei Yanchuan a thumbs up. "You're amazing! You actually managed to turn the whole glutinous rice diet into a document to negotiate with Grandpa."
Early the next morning, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan got into the black SUV specially sent by the production team and headed to the airport.
At the airport, the production team had made prior arrangements to manage the flow of traffic, so Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan were not surrounded by fans when they got out of the car.
Xu Wang sat on his suitcase just like he was recording a program for the first time.
Today, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan were wearing matching outfits. They wore the same style of black turtleneck sweater, paired with black trousers and black leather belts with silver buckles around their waists.
"Wife, wife, look at me!"
"Ahhh! President Pei's legs are so long they're almost as long as my waist."
"My wife and President Pei are wearing matching outfits today, they look so good together."
"Another day of being sweetened by my favorite couple."
"Help! Every snapshot here is a masterpiece!"
………………
When Pei Yanchuan and Xu Wang arrived at the reception room, the others had already arrived, and the live broadcast room had started on time.
[Here it comes!]
[The live stream has finally started again! I've been waiting for almost twenty days, and I'm so impatient!]
[My live stream for watching meals, you're finally back! (So happy I'm spinning around like crazy)]
[Judging from the show's preview, this time they're going to the vast grasslands. I wonder what fun games the director has prepared? (Looking forward to it!)]
[Director, I only have one request: make it sweet!]
[The director said: With me at the head table, you can rest assured I'll get things done. (Brothers and sisters, take care!)]
