Chapter 148 Screen Recording
Hey, what's wrong with you two? Why can't we hear what you're saying? You have to get together and chatter like this. Let us join in!
Although Z is incredibly wealthy, seeing these two has made me switch sides again, they're such a perfect match, sob sob!
[You two standing together are very pleasing to the eye, I love looking at you, please interact more.]
[Support Z joining! Let's create a real-life version of "Burning Winter"!]
[Hahahaha, Jay Chou is going to be so angry!]
Xia Mian didn't see the fans' teasing at all; her mind was filled with those two words.
He had been tricked into calling Zhou Pingchuan that before, and Zhou Pingchuan seemed quite pleased. But... what kind of relationship allowed them to use such a term?
Xia Mian values rituals and is exceptionally sensitive to how people address him. In his view, a title represents a certain agreement, and one cannot call someone by that title casually if one cannot keep it.
For example, he often wondered why couples in love called each other "husband" and "wife," and why people who had just met in a nightclub could become sworn brothers. Could they truly shoulder the responsibilities that come with marriage and brotherhood? Could they truly be loyal to each other to the death and go to great lengths for one another?
not necessarily.
So, when he liked Zhou Pingchuan, he could call her "husband," since they were married. But now... maybe he shouldn't.
"I'm dancing," Xia Mian said, not wanting to bring it up again, "I'll dance for a little while longer before ending the broadcast."
Zhou Pingchuan hummed in agreement: "I know you're dancing; my fitness watch alerted me."
aestivation:"......"
Xia Mian realized that hinting to Zhou Pingchuan was useless; it was like trying to wake someone who was pretending to be asleep. She walked aside and said directly, "What I mean is, you go out first; I need to continue my live stream."
To show his urgency, he spoke in a very serious tone: "This is my job. I need it to establish myself in society. If I delay any longer, the viewers in the live broadcast room will all leave, and my agent will scold me."
Zhou Pingchuan nodded symbolically, looking as if he had suddenly realized something: "Oh... since you're so dedicated, then fulfill your duty. I just sent you a gift, what did the fans say again? They said they wanted you to marry me."
"But you've already married me, what am I going to do?"
Zhou Pingchuan seemed to be thinking hard, and as he pondered, he slowly walked to Xia Mian's side, then suddenly turned around and faced Xia Mian: "How about we change how we address each other?"
Xia Mian was standing in front of the wall when Zhou Pingchuan suddenly turned around, startling him so much that he instinctively took a step back.
Zhou Pingchuan leaned forward, and Xia Mian continued to retreat, only to find that she had nowhere to retreat—there was a solid wall behind her.
He was trapped between Zhou Pingchuan's arms.
But Zhou Pingchuan was still not satisfied. He leaned down slightly and looked directly at him.
Xia Mian felt as if she were being seen through, with nowhere to hide, so she turned her head away, trying her best not to make eye contact with the other person: "Change it to what?"
Zhou Pingchuan: "Let me think about it."
Xia Mian: "Don't go too far."
Zhou Pingchuan: "Which one is excessive?"
“…Husband,” Xia Mian said, “I won’t call you that.”
Zhou Pingchuan turned his head, wanting to look into his eyes: "What's the reason?"
Xia Mian quickly moved to the other side: "There's no reason, I just don't want to."
Seeing his performance, Zhou Pingchuan instantly understood where yesterday's melancholy came from.
On the surface, Xia Mian followed his request and adjusted their relationship back to the way it was before Tan Jingcheng appeared, and even found a reason for her recent tantrum.
If it weren't for his sixth sense telling him something was wrong, Zhou Pingchuan would have believed it.
The obstacle between them is not Tan Jingcheng.
Xia Mian was still angry with him.
Zhou Pingchuan sighed softly, unwilling to force Xia Mian: "If you don't want to call me husband, then I will, okay?"
Zhou Pingchuan turned his head and finally caught his eyes: "Mianmian, my husband."
Xia Mian's eyes widened slightly.
What followed was a loud buzzing sound.
[Your heart rate is currently 145, exceeding the system's preset value by 20%. Should we call an ambulance for you?]

The home gym is large, and the phone used for the live stream was placed in front of the mirror. The two of them stood by the door opposite the mirror, nearly five meters away, so the viewers probably couldn't hear them talking.
However, the beeping sound of the sports watch was quite piercing, echoing throughout the room, making it impossible to ignore.
Fans who watched the whole thing were instantly jolted awake:
[…Damn, I almost thought I was watching a romantic drama!]
I'd only ever heard of "wall slam" before, but this time I truly understand what it means. It made my face flush and my heart race!
[On the True Use of Wall Slamming]
[This real couple is really open-minded, they even livestreamed their flirting to us!]
[Just wondering, is this livestream always this exciting? If so, I'll definitely follow it! [winking emoji]]
[Super exciting! This time it's flirting, next time it's kissing, and the time after that it'll be sex (not really). Highly recommended, please follow now!]
[Kiss us while we kiss!]
Show us the results!
The chat was immediately flooded with vulgar and offensive language, so dense that the faces of the two main characters were almost completely obscured.
The property management wanted to take action, but there were too many people spamming the screen, and they couldn't add them all to the blacklist. So they just randomly blacklisted a few people as a warning to others.
It actually worked! People stopped posting those offensive comments that made people's faces turn yellow, and they started discussing new topics.
[So focused on sex that I almost forgot what woke us up. Mianmian's heart rate is off again?]
[Oh yeah, what were those two whispering about that made our Mianmian so excited?]
[They might be discussing what position to use tonight...]
[Stop! Sister, be careful or you might get locked in a dark room!]
As a mother, seeing my son and son-in-law so happy and their relationship unaffected by the recent troubles fills me with immense joy. I hope you two continue to be happy!
Honestly, I've always been a solo fan of Mianmian, but their interactions are just too sweet. I'm starting to want to become a CP (couple) fan. What should I do?
[CP fans, your happiness is doubled! Come and ship them with me!]
[Advising others to ship couples is like being struck by lightning. When your own couple's relationship falls apart, you'll have nowhere to cry.]
[I agree with Huang's statement; the two of them don't dare to speak in front of the camera, probably because they're secretly arguing.]
[From Xia Mian's dodges just now, you could see the distance he was trying so hard to hide.]
[...]
That evening, a recording of Zhou Pingchuan's live stream conversation with Xia Mian at the gym was leaked.
Netizens were scrutinizing the video as if they were looking at it with a magnifying glass. Some netizens with some knowledge of behavioral psychology took screenshots frame by frame to analyze the relationship between Zhou Pingchuan and Xia Mian, and concluded that the two were not as good as they seemed.
The evidence is that Xia Mian adopted a dodging posture and refused to make eye contact with Zhou Pingchuan.
The reason given for Zhou Pingchuan is rather far-fetched—Zhou's teasing tone is quite obvious, and it's more like the affection one has for a small animal than love.
Upon seeing this, the CP fans resisted the urge to roll their eyes. Aren't you guys a little too idle?!
Ironically, this post got the most likes and was ranked at the top.
My beloved couple, you two have to live up to my expectations! Be incredibly affectionate and prove these haters wrong!
