Chapter 68 Couple Intimacy Practice.
Chu Ling and Sheng Yi were invited to a competitive variety show called "Love, Fight, and Win."
This variety show invites celebrity couples to participate in a weekly livestream, with each episode filming over two days and one night. Couples must complete tasks and challenges assigned by the production team, outperforming their opponents and securing victory in each segment.
The person who wins the game in the end can get the reward from the program team.
On the surface, this is a competitive game for a couples' league, but in reality it is used for celebrity couples to show their affection.
The show has two pairs of regular guests, who have attracted a large number of fans with their sweet interactions and tacit understanding.
In each episode, two new pairs of guests will join the program to provide new excitement.
The day before the recording, Sheng Yi and Chu Ling arrived at the recording location first.
"Then tomorrow's procedures have been almost confirmed."
The staff roughly confirmed their schedule with them. "Recording starts at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and we need to get up at 6 a.m. to put on makeup. Is that okay?"
Chu Ling glanced at Sheng Yi, nodded, and said, "We're fine."
“OK.”
The staff member handed over the room cards and said, "Here are your room cards for both of you. Get some rest tonight, as tomorrow's recording session will be quite demanding."
Chu Ling looked at the single room card and blinked.
The staff member asked puzzledly: "Any other questions?"
Sheng Yi realized it and said first: "Sorry, can you give us two more--"
"—No problem, thank you."
Chu Ling got there before him, took the room card, and then poked Sheng Yi, "Let's go."
The two came to the elevator.
Seeing that no one was around, Sheng Yi said softly, "Are you really not going to ask her to give us another room?"
Of course, the program team will assume that couples need to stay in the same room.
But the problem is that they are not a real couple.
“…”
Chu Ling twirled the room card in his hand and smiled softly, "If you want to act, you have to do it in its entirety."
Of course, if a big-name star requests two rooms, the program crew will basically not have any objection.
But since they both have such high status and ask for such a high price, there is a high possibility that they will be suspected.
"Forget it, we two eighteen-star guys shouldn't play with small cards."
Chu Ling hugged his shoulders, leaned against the elevator wall, glanced at Sheng Yi and said, "I'm sorry to have to put you in such a difficult position."
Sheng Yi was startled and said with a smile: "You said it the other way around, didn't you?"
bite.
The elevator reached the sixteenth floor.
As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, they met two people who had just come out.
Chu Ling recognized it at a glance.
This is the most popular "mutually compatible" CP in current variety shows, Xie Qing and He Ming.
The two are both actors who fell in love on the set of a drama and got married just last year. Due to the large number of CP fans generated by the drama fans, they also became a well-known celebrity couple in the circle and have almost always shown their love after marriage.
Chu Ling greeted them: "Hi, what a coincidence, hello."
"Oh, Chu Ling?"
Xie Qing raised an eyebrow, recognizing her. "Hello. I heard you're this episode's guest stars. Welcome."
She said, "I heard there's a rumor about you—the master of house collapse, right?"
Although "Heartbeat Laboratory" is not a hit variety show, Chu Ling's offensive remarks and his character of identifying scumbags in this show have gone viral.
"oh?"
He Ming also glanced at her and said, "Then it seems we have to stay away from you."
He sounded like he was joking, but his tone wasn't friendly.
“…”
Chu Ling was somewhat caught off guard by his hostility. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled. "There's no need to be afraid, right? After all, as long as you have a clear conscience, your reputation won't be inexplicably ruined. What do you think?"
She looked at the two of them steadily and said, "Of course, if you have done anything wrong, that's another matter."
The expressions of both of them obviously fell.
Xie Qing concealed his unhappiness and smiled, "Of course. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot, there's this guy next to me—"
He Ming seemed to be thinking and said, "I don't seem to know you. Are you——"
Sheng Yi extended his hand and said politely, "Sheng Yi."
Xie Qing added, "I know, he and Chu Ling met on that dating show, am I right?"
Chu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, 'Heartbeat Laboratory'. We've only been together for a short time."
"We just got together?"
He Ming didn't shake Sheng Yi's hand back, but put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "So you're on a couples variety show so soon? Our production team is really quick and can invite anyone."
On the surface, it seems like he is praising the program team, but the second half of the sentence sounds a bit ambivalent.
Sheng Yi withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
After He Ming finished speaking, he quickly added, "It's just a joke. I know you guys are quite popular recently. Welcome to the show. I hope you can have fun."
"Yes."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, then showed a concerned expression, "Is Teacher He Ming's hand okay?"
He Ming: “?”
He Ming said: "It's okay, what's wrong."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I saw you kept putting your things in your pockets and couldn't take them out, so I thought you were injured."
She reached out, pulled Sheng Yi, and said, "We'll leave first. See you tomorrow."
Having said that, he turned around, rolled his eyes without hesitation, and returned to their hotel suite with Sheng Yi.
After swiping the door open, Chu Ling slammed it shut.
Sheng Yi asked her, "What's wrong? Are you upset?"
"You know the answer but you still ask."
Chu Ling raised his chin and asked, "Didn't you see who was making us angry?"
Sheng Yi was no fool, so of course he could sense it: "They probably don't welcome us very much."
But he was used to it: "People here are like this."
It's probably nothing more than some boring entertainment industry contempt chain.
The entertainment industry has always been a place where people flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. He is neither famous nor a singer in a band. He has no resources or connections at all, so he is basically the lowest link in the contempt chain.
He had encountered similar things countless times, so it didn't matter.
"What is he pretending for?"
Chu Ling was even angrier than him. "Did your hand break from being stuck in your pocket? Do you think you're so popular and famous? If you're that famous, do you really need to go on a show to hype up your relationship?"
Sheng Yi was surprised by her attitude.
It's a little funny... and a little happy.
"After all, they are considered...a third or fourth tier city?"
Chu Ling was so angry that Sheng Yi was no longer angry. "It's normal for you to look down on me."
"Third or fourth tier? I think it's just a little higher than us, about thirteen or fourteen tier."
Chu Ling put his hands on his hips and said, "We now have a community of shared interests. If they look down on you, they look down on me."
Sheng Yi: “…”
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Chu Ling thought for a moment and added, "And I feel like it's not just because we're confused."
The program team invited her as a guest, obviously because of her popularity.
She has always been the queen of topics, and the other party may be afraid of having their popularity stolen.
And there are rumors that Chu Ling is a master of house collapse.
Celebrities all have some negative news, and they all believe in metaphysics. I'm afraid they really don't like her personality that can go crazy and create things at any time.
"Excuse me, but I have to grab this popularity."
Chu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's rehearse tonight."
Sheng Yi asked, "What are you rehearsing?"
"Of course, it's about how we get along as a couple."
Chu Ling said very naturally, "When we record tomorrow, we have to completely immerse ourselves in the roles of a couple and not reveal even a single clue."
Many people on the Internet already suspect that they are a contract couple and are trying to hype them up - although this is indeed the case, Chu Ling wants to use this variety show to "debunk" the rumors and consolidate his position.
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Sheng Yi and said, "Give me your hand."
Sheng Yi was stunned: "So sudden?"
“Not suddenly.”
"On the show tomorrow, we'll be holding hands almost all the time."
Chu Ling said, "So now we have to get used to the feeling of holding each other's hands and become familiar with each other like a real couple."
She hooked her finger at Sheng Yi and said, "Come on."
Seeing Sheng Yi seemed hesitant, Chu Ling was stunned for a moment and asked, "Or do you not really want to hold hands with me?"
"Of course not."
Sheng Yi smiled and said, "After all, my hand is not broken."
He covered up his nervousness with a joke, tentatively reached out and held Chu Ling's hand.
He originally just wanted to shake hands briefly, but Chu Ling chose to open his fingers and interlock his fingers.
The moment their palms touched each other, the air seemed to become very quiet in an instant.
Sheng Yi's brain seemed to explode and turned into a blank.
The blood in his body was jumping and rushing in celebration, and his palms were getting hot.
And Chu Ling... although he acted very indifferent just now, but the moment he really held her hand, he felt something subtly wrong in his heart.
strangeness.
It wasn't the first time they held hands.
As an actor, this is just the most basic and common accomplishment.
But for some reason, she also seemed a little nervous.
The warmth of Sheng Yi's palm reached hers. She blinked and felt her heart beating extremely fast in her chest.
Is it because you have already put yourself in the shoes of the couple that it seems particularly real?
Chu Ling's ears burned as she thought that she really seemed to have that feeling of first love, which was constantly spreading in her heart.
The two of them walked hand in hand in the room, and as time passed, they were almost reluctant to let go.
After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Yi finally said, "...Is it okay?"
"Um……"
Chu Ling let go of his hand, but he didn't forget to comment, "It's not natural enough yet, practice it later. Let's move on first."
She said, "How about a hug?"
“…I’ve hugged her before.”
Sheng Yi said, "I think it should be fine."
That was the day he confessed to Chu Ling.
At the time, he thought Chu Ling really liked him, so he hugged her with all his heart. The animated picture of the hug went viral among their CP fans, and they went crazy.
Chu Ling thought for a moment and then asked, "Then...what if the game requires a princess carry?"
Sheng Yi said: "My physical strength should be fine."
As the lead singer of a band, he also exercises regularly to keep jumping and dancing on stage for hours.
"Then what else do you need to practice?"
Chu Ling pondered, looked up at Sheng Yi, and asked, "Do you need a kiss?"
Sheng Yi felt the veins in his temples throbbing.
This is so professional.
Chu Ling took a step forward.
Sheng Yi subconsciously took a step back and immediately denied it: "It shouldn't be necessary to this extent."
For his part, of course he would.
But for Chu Ling, isn’t this quite unfair?
Perhaps the deeper reason is that he has a secret expectation in his heart.
He could only see inquiry and dedication to achieving his goal in Chu Ling's beautiful eyes, but the kiss he had hoped for was not like that.
ah.
It seems that Sheng Yi doesn't want to kiss her.
Well, she is a single woman, and she probably still has her first kiss, so it is normal that she is unwilling.
But for some reason, Chu Ling felt unhappy for a second, and he didn't know who he was competing with.
"Okay, then let's take a break first. Good luck on the live broadcast tomorrow."
After Chu Ling finished speaking, he finally had time to look around the room.
Fortunately, the hotel the program crew arranged for them was a suite with a bedroom and a living room. There was a sofa in the living room that was big enough to sleep an adult.
She looked at Sheng Yi, but before she could speak, Sheng Yi said very consciously, "I can sleep in the room outside."
After a pause, he quickly added, "If you don't trust me, I can also go to another hotel outside and book a room without being discovered by others."
"No."
Chu Ling said readily, "I believe you."
Sheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't you be more vigilant?"
"Of course it always has for others."
Chu Ling said, "But if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't agree to your CP promotion."
She believed in Sheng Yi's character and her own abilities.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "We might have to work together like this many times in the future, 'boyfriend'."
