Chapter 161 Sleep Aid
The moment the photo was released, the live stream chat exploded with excitement.
[I originally thought the last thing would be expensive jewelry or watches, but Jay Chou's treasure was cotton! I screamed like crazy!!!]
[They're resorting to these kinds of tactics, I ask you, who dares to compete with Jay Chou?]
[So where did this fallacy of "Mianmian isn't loved" come from? Jay Chou clearly loves her terribly!!! He absolutely adores her!!!]
Jay Chou's choices are so thoughtful; you can tell they're all things Mianmian likes.
[The sight of the corpse was heartwarming.]
[Confirmed, this is a promotional video trying to trick us into getting married. I'm leaving, watching any longer will make me too lovestruck.]
Mianmian is such a good boy, he should be cherished.
The haters were practically slapping themselves in the face, as if they'd been slapped back into the sewers by these two. But how could they give up? They flooded the screen with comments, covering their faces: "[Zhou Zhen Ai Xia, why didn't you send her anything before? You only remembered romance after being criticized, and you didn't even do a proper show.]"
[The deaf-blind boy has been fooled by this fake couple again!]
Upon closer reflection, the viewers realized that the haters were right. If they were truly in love, they wouldn't have had this "complaint" incident. Although they followed the entire live stream and knew that Xia Mian was just answering questions normally and didn't mean to complain, it did prove that the two weren't as good as they appeared today.
And to this day, the two have not held a formal wedding.
Jay Chou's nephew, who also starred as the handsome Zhou Ting in "Our Little Days," announced to the world with a sensational wedding of the century that he would spend his life with Xia Mingzhao. That's true love, isn't it?
As for Jay Chou's act of trying to fix things after the fact, how much of it is genuine and how much is fake? You can figure it out for yourself.
The live chat was immediately filled with trolls, which annoyed Xia Mian. Just then, a WeChat message came in on her phone. Zhao Wei warned, "Don't argue with your ancestors. Leave the rest to me."
Feeling guilty, Zhao Wei watched the entire live stream today. He was shocked when he first heard Xia Mian confront the haters, and then he was shocked again when he saw Jay Chou's actions.
Zhao Wei has a lot of experience and is very perceptive. He knows that what netizens call "acting" is a complete paradox.
Given Zhou Pingchuan's power, he has no need to cultivate a "deeply affectionate couple" persona to solidify his position. If he did, it would definitely be to help Xia Mian.
Then why did he help Xia Mian?
It's all because I like it!
Zhao Wei was almost smitten!
Recalling his speculations about Jay Chou during the day, Zhao Wei wanted to slap himself. How narrow-minded! He judged a gentleman by his own petty standards!
Moreover, Jay Chou's pampering of Xia is equivalent to giving Xia free data traffic, and giving Xia free data traffic is equivalent to indirectly stuffing money into his pocket... Zhao Wei hates himself even more!
You bastard!
While repenting, he also instructed Xia Mian: "Just pretend you didn't see it, go enjoy your married life after the broadcast!"
...The life of a farting couple.
However, after Zhao Wei's repeated reminders, Xia Mian became much more clear-headed and waved to the camera: "That's enough for today. I need to hurry up and move the flowers inside. It's been a pleasure spending another night with you all."
I just gave a direct response today, and the haters have already turned the live stream into a mess. Thinking about how Mianhua fights against the haters every day, Xia Mian felt particularly bad. She added her own message: "Goodnight everyone, goodnight my Mianhua."
After saying that, he winked at the screen. Some male celebrities would find this gesture greasy, but because he's good-looking, his slightly awkward and unskilled wink made him look much more refreshing.
[Ahhhhh, Mianmian is giving me a flirty look! Ahhhhh!]
[Son, you can't flirt with Mommy, that's against the rules!!!]
Seeing the cotton flowers squealing with joy, Xia Mian felt much more at ease. She turned off the live stream and cleaned up the battlefield with the servants—there were so many flowers, it would take many trips just to move them into the house!
To avoid wasting the flowers, Summer Sleep filled every available space except for vases. For example, windowsills, desks, record players, and so on.
Even so, there was still a large bunch left. Xia Mian looked worried. Just then, a male voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Did you use it for a bath?"
It was... Zhou Pingchuan's voice.
Xia Mian was a little unsure how to face him. Without turning around, she said to Zhou Pingchuan with her back to him, "Yes...yes, it's perfect for a petal bath."
"I've already told the servants to turn on the water, wait a moment."
The Longxi bathtub is custom-made and much larger than the bathtubs commonly found on the market. It takes more than ten minutes to fill it with water from all four showerheads at the same time.
Just thinking about spending those ten-odd minutes with Zhou Pingchuan made Xia Mian feel uneasy: "Then I'll go and make some preparations, like cutting some fruit and pouring a glass of red wine."
After saying that, he ran off.
This kid is a complete spoiled brat. Has he ever cut fruit or poured red wine by himself? He's just shy, making up an excuse.
Zhou Pingchuan didn't expose him.
Instead, I found his hasty leap into the trap rather amusing.
After running into the bathroom and catching her breath, Xia Mian's intelligence finally returned, and she realized one thing—only the master bedroom in the entire villa had a bathtub.
In other words, Zhou Pingchuan tried everything to get him to come back to the master bedroom, but he came back on his own today.
"I'm so stupid!" Xia Mian silently berated herself. But coming back to shower doesn't mean coming back to sleep. She could go to the guest room to sleep after her bath!
After comforting myself, the bathwater was finally finished, with a layer of peach-colored rose petals floating on top, filling the room with a sweet fragrance.
The maid thoughtfully turned on the stereo, and after a few minutes of soaking, my tense mind, which had been working for several days, finally felt relieved.
Xia Mian hummed along to the music, and when he got to his favorite song, he couldn't hold back any longer. He picked up the essential oil bottle next to him and used it as a microphone, and started singing loudly. The whole bathroom became a concert venue for Xia the Great Singer!
Just as she was singing happily, the bathroom door suddenly creaked open.
Upon recognizing the person who had entered, the concert abruptly ended.
Xia, the great singer, was so startled he almost threw the essential oil bottle and microphone away: "I'm taking a shower, what are you doing in here?!"
He learned his lesson and, after last night's experience, he will never let the "shampoo" incident happen again.
"Don't be afraid, I'll get the things."
While speaking, Zhou Pingchuan didn't even glance in their direction.
He must have been judging a gentleman by his own petty standards, Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the breath was forced into his chest, causing him pain.
Not knowing what Zhou Pingchuan was looking for, he went straight to the laundry basket!
Xia Mian has a habit of changing her underwear every day. She throws her underwear into the laundry basket when she takes a shower, and then takes it directly to the underwear washing machine to wash it.
So his... underwear was lying in the laundry basket.
However, Zhou Pingchuan probably didn't have the habit of rummaging through the laundry basket... Xia Mian held her breath. Sadly, the next moment Zhou Pingchuan actually stopped in front of the laundry basket and reached out—
"What are you looking for?" Xia Mian quickly called out to him.
"Book."
How could a book be in the laundry basket?
"I looked at it while showering, and probably just threw it in there afterwards."
"Ah... then you can look for it again later."
“No,” Zhou Pingchuan refused decisively, “I need it to help me sleep.”
He paused for a moment, then added, "The guest room is too small; I can only fall asleep if I read."
As he spoke, Zhou Pingchuan's attention returned to the bamboo basket.
What to do? If she really goes through the laundry basket, she'll definitely find his underwear! Xia Mian was extremely conflicted!
Zhou Pingchuan didn't give him a chance to think at all. He reached his hand into the laundry basket and all the way to the bottom, as if he had touched something. His expression became more and more intriguing.
"Did you throw this away?" He picked up the object and pulled it out. Xia Mian stared intently at his hand, her heart pounding in her chest!
Zhou Pingchuan moved very slowly. After half a century of torment, Xia Mian finally saw a clue about it.
Pure cotton, white, boxer briefs; after wearing them all day, a small bulge appeared in the front.
"...Stop looking for books!" Xia Mian quickly called out to Zhou Pingchuan, "No need to read books, we don't need them."
He turned his head and bit his lower lip: "Tonight... let's go back to the master bedroom to sleep."
