Chapter 57 The Drama Queen in Romance Variety Show 30: Hot Spring
In the tens of minutes before the scream broke the silence, Yun Chiyi and Lin Qiao enjoyed a peaceful midnight respite from the chaos.
She reached out and scooped something up from among the leaves, when suddenly an idea popped into her head, and she secretly pressed it to her heart.
Lin Qiao teased her, "You found money inside, but you won't show it to me."
Yun Chiyi said, "Close your eyes first, and I'll tell you what it is."
His eyes behind the cold lenses remained unmoved; his upper and lower eyelashes barely touched, yet he obeyed her and closed his eyes.
Before showing him the things, she was in a playful mood. Her slender fingers traced from the tip of his ear all the way to his earlobe, then across his neck, and brazenly pressed against his collarbone, carefully tracing its shape.
She had always admired his physique; her fingertips seemed to hold sparks, all the passion gathered there.
It's really pretty, but it's just as boring as wood.
Lin Qiao opened her eyes halfway: "What you wanted to show me?"
Yun Chiyi said coquettishly, "You've opened your eyes now, and the agreement doesn't even count. Why do you still want to see?"
Lin Qiao urged, "Hurry up."
Under his gaze, Yun Chiyi slightly opened her palm, and a faint firefly-like glow bloomed in her hand.
Her words were filled with tender affection: "There will always be light shining in."
Her words came out of nowhere, but Lin Qiaoyu understood what she meant.
His weakness, his claustrophobia, his fear of small, dark spaces.
She earnestly told him not to worry or be afraid, that even in the darkest night, light will always shine through.
[Huh? Lin Qiaoyu's favorability rating has increased!]
"Yes, what happened?" Yun Chiyi said.
In the twenty-seven years of his life, during those silent, dark days, Lin Qiaoyu gave up too much, whether it was the love of his gentle mother or the "discipline" of his arrogant and domineering older brother. What remains now is a Lin Qiaoyu who doesn't show his emotions on his face and whose methods grow colder and harder every day.
Fortunately, Lin Qiao never expected a spotlight to shine in. He walked alone in this world and would not become a coward.
However, if there is light, and the source is Yun Chiyi, he probably wouldn't refuse.
It's more fun to have someone accompany him than to be all alone.
He repeated to himself once more: Probably...
She could see the favorability rating above his head changing at a visible speed.
The number 87 seems a bit inflated.
The fireflies in her palm flew away through her fingers. Yun Chiyi felt incredibly relaxed at this moment. The so-called strategy was actually found in such an ordinary daily life.
However, his outward reaction was unremarkable, as if nothing had happened.
The two stared at each other silently, but a scream shattered the silence once more.
Yun Chiyi's shoulders twitched, and she quickly hid in his arms, revealing a pair of innocent-looking eyes: "What's that sound like a pig being slaughtered?"
Lin Qiaoyu: "I don't know, it sounds familiar."
How could he not know that he himself was the culprit?
Each of the four live streaming spaces had a different style, and viewers frequently switched between the different screens, resulting in a rollercoaster of emotions for them.
[Those two probably don't know that Lin Qingsheng is about to be scared to death by a snake.]
[They're all lovey-dovey here, while there they're all miserable and heartbroken there.]
[I don't care anymore, I want to watch the couple's romance first, I'll watch the editing later.]
If Lin Qingsheng knew that even his disgraceful appearance couldn't fully capture the audience's attention, he would definitely be furious.
The incident happened suddenly, and the production team did not expect Lin Qingsheng's reaction to be so intense, so they quickly stopped the live broadcast.
Director Yu's heart was pounding like a drum. He knew perfectly well how distinguished Lin Qingsheng was and how wealthy the Lin family was. It would be a piece of cake for them to manipulate a clueless little director like him.
He was filled with regret and blamed Lin Qingsheng for her bad luck in drawing the ticket to the Snake Courtyard.
Everyone boarded the bus, each with their own thoughts, heading towards the hot spring hotel.
Lin Qingsheng, with a gloomy expression, sat at the very back. Now that the light was bright, he didn't want his ugly state to be exposed to everyone. He kept his wrists tightly clenched, trying to suppress the urge to tremble.
He kept shaking his leg to relieve his tension, while his malicious gaze swept over everyone in the car.
Finally, a firm weight settled on Lin Qiao's shoulder as she closed her eyes for a short rest.
I heard that he and Yun Chiyi were hugging and cuddling among the fireflies, contributing a beautiful and innocent scene to the program.
Lin Qiao and? Beautiful and innocent?
He was absolutely laughing his head off.
Lin Qiao's senses were extremely sharp, and he had already noticed Lin Qingsheng's trembling gaze. He didn't take it to heart, because he had had enough fun tonight and was taking a break for the time being.
We arrived at the hot spring hotel quickly, but the time seemed to drag on, even though it was only nine o'clock.
The night breeze had dampened her pajamas. Yun Chiyi didn't like wearing her pajamas out for walks, so she changed into a clean white bathrobe as soon as she arrived at the hotel.
Tang Yu and Shen Zhouzhou were assigned to the same room. They were all busy with their own things. After tidying up their belongings, they made plans to go to the hot springs together.
Shen Zhouzhou slept for almost half the night, but now she just couldn't fall asleep.
She poured herself a drink and began to inquire about Yun Chiyi's personal life: "Is there anything funny you want to share with us?"
Yun Chiyi's eyes revealed her obvious joy: "Isn't Lin Qingsheng's appearance funny enough?"
Shen Zhouzhou was surprised for a moment, then suddenly realized that there were no cameras in the room, and Yun Chiyi was too lazy to pretend anymore.
"That's not what I'm asking you. I'm not interested in him."
Yun Chiyi usually said at the end of her sentence, "So you wanted to ask me how far my relationship with Lin Qiao has progressed."
Shen Zhouzhou nodded emphatically and put down his wine glass: "Because I can't tell if you guys are serious or just playing around on the show."
Tang Yu, who was combing her hair, turned her head and looked over, also somewhat concerned about the answer.
Was she just trying to flirt and play around, or had she developed genuine feelings?
Yun Chiyi kept everyone in suspense, slowly sitting on the sofa, bending her knees and hugging herself with her arms, looking innocent and pitiful.
"I'm feeling quite confused."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhouzhou burst into laughter: "I knew you would be irresponsible, but you don't feel guilty at all. You're just like me."
Yun Chiyi was puzzled. She was biting her lip, hugging her knees, and had tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful. How could anyone say that she had no remorse?
Pouring himself another glass of wine, Shen Zhouzhou continued nonchalantly, "You're just a little hooligan, kissing and hugging him like that, and you still won't give him a proper title."
Not intending to tell her too much truth in front of her, Yun Chiyi scoffed: "I kissed him, I hugged him, and he kissed me and hugged me too, so we're even."
Shen Zhouzhou said, "So you're saying you're not planning on dating?"
Yun Chiyi hesitated for a moment, then said something that would please Shen Zhouzhou: "It's just for fun, don't take it too seriously. I'm more familiar with acting in front of the camera than you are."
Shen Zhouzhou was in high spirits and immediately grabbed a wine glass: "No way, I have to have a drink with you. I only realized today how much you suit my taste."
Yun Chiyi chuckled: "You're too slow to realize this, but it's not too late."
"Come on, cheers!"
As the two discussed their relationship, Tang Yu listened intently until the lotion in her hands dried out.
Perhaps it's better to just record the butterflies I saw tonight and not get involved in other people's affairs.
Yun Chiyi rambled on and on, then finished two glasses of fruit wine. A blush rose on her cheeks, and her eyes were glazed over, like a seductive little fox.
Tang Yu was worried that the two of them would drink too much and pass out, so we took them to soak in the hot springs.
The water temperature in the hot spring was a bit too high for Yun Chiyi, and her shoulders immediately turned a peach pink.
The smell of alcohol evaporates from the body, leaving one feeling drowsy and ready to sleep.
Shen Zhouzhou and Tang Yu chatted idly, but Shen Zhouzhou disliked Tang Yu's old-fashioned thinking, and most of their conversations ended without a conclusion.
Yun Chiyi was almost asleep, water droplets condensing on her eyelashes. Hearing that everyone was preparing to go back, she felt weak and struggled to sit up from the hot spring, silently following their footsteps.
Suddenly, an arm appeared and wrapped around her waist. Yun Chiyi squinted at the person who had come.
Lin Qiao and Ah.
What is he doing here?
Yun Chiyi's gaze lingered for a moment on his damp skin beneath his robe.
There was no one around. There were clearly service staff and workers when we arrived.
Who has the ability to get everyone away?
Lin Qiao lifted her chin; it was wet and soft, making one inexplicably want to bite it.
Yun Chiyi slapped his hand away: "What are you doing?"
Lin Qiao mechanically said a string of words: "It's just for fun, don't take it too seriously. I'm more familiar with acting in front of the camera than you are."
These are her exact words.
How did he find out?
Yun Chiyi's first thought was that Shen Zhouzhou had betrayed them; they were at least in the same boat.
Lin Qiao held her waist in his arms. He wasn't wearing glasses, so he had nothing to shield himself from the cold gaze.
“It wasn’t her who said it.” Lin Qiao guessed what she was thinking.
Yun Chiyi said, "That means you were eavesdropping."
Lin Qiao, with no attempt to hide her displeasure, grabbed her ear and said, "The live stream is still on, and the microphones in the hallway can hear you."
Yun Chiyi exclaimed in surprise, "The quality is so good. Wait, so you watched the live stream on your phone and that's how you found out what I said, so the audience also knows."
Lin Qiaoyu: "That's right. I was just regretting that you were going to abandon me after starting something."
【Host, at this point you should tell him that these are just polite words, but that you actually like him. He'll be overjoyed.】The system even started eating sunflower seeds.
Yun Chiyi, with her rebellious nature, leaned back, her waist pressed completely against Lin Qiaoyu's palm.
Her fingers curled slightly, supporting his hard chest, while her other hand traced the contours of his cold, hard face as if caressing a precious gem.
Her voice was very low; having learned from past mistakes, she couldn't let the audience hear her conversation again.
"Mr. Lin, you wouldn't be trying to make me love you, would you?"
The clear, melodious laughter was enveloped by the mist.
Lin Qiao's gaze remained unchanged; he wouldn't get angry.
But he won't let go.
Yun Chiyi's long, wet hair fell down, covering his hands that were wrapped around her waist.
"You should ask yourself how you feel about me first, instead of just expecting me to give you a response."
"Lin Qiaoyu, you must first understand desire before you ask for it."
"Look at you, you're not even angry. Your reaction is so boring."
After saying these words, she even managed to stand on tiptoe and kiss his chin.
He whispered, his lips close to hers, "You have to say that you want to like me, that you want to love me."
She paused, then smiled faintly and said, "Even though you said you wanted my body, wanted a hot night, you just wouldn't say it, like a bored mute."
She pushed him away: "Goodnight."
