Chapter 111 – Extra 6
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>
Ming Hua is a third-year design student who has been busy with project proposals and end-of-term matters lately, and hasn’t watched any variety shows for a long time. One day, as soon as she returned to the dorm, she was dragged onto the bed by her roommate. Six people in the dorm gathered around the computer, watching something together.
Ming Hua resisted a few times without success and had to sit there, reluctantly asking, “What show is this?”
“It’s a love variety show. I’m a fan of the ZhuYun Couple inside,” her roommate said excitedly, unpacking snacks and passionately recommending, “They have a great chemistry and are both very handsome.”
Ming Hua remained silent, understanding in her heart that these love shows were all fake, scripted, and the pink bubbles marketed at the end were just for making money. Where was the real emotion? It was all deceptive.
She didn’t want to watch, but she didn’t want to offend her roommate, feeling quite bored.
Finally, the show began.
Ming Hua was initially indifferent, but when she saw the awkward date between Pei Yunshu and Zhuyou, she couldn’t help but chuckle, “Oh my goodness, is this the style of two men on a date?”
She started watching with relish. Later, when she saw Zhuyou pulling Pei Yunshu out of the frame, she gasped along with her roommate, “They ran away?!”
The sound of the staff’s chaos came from the screen, “Quick, quick, quick! People from the south street catch up, people from the north street quickly get to the intersection and block it. My goodness, everyone move faster.”
Based on her seven or eight years of experience watching variety shows, Ming Hua knew that this kind of chaos was definitely not staged!
In other words, these two, they really didn’t know where they had run off to!
Snacks dropped from her roommate’s hands, “My goodness… Can we still see my ZhuYun Couple in the next episode? How much time has passed in this episode?”
“Not sure if they can be found,” Ming Hua nervously watched the screen, “This is the first time I’ve seen such willful guests.”
After a while, the computer screen suddenly went black. Ming Hua and her roommates thought the computer had run out of power, but the next second, proud large white characters appeared on the screen.
-[Program Team: Although you ran away, the microphones on you are still working faithfully.]
Ming Hua’s breath tightened, and then they heard a hurried sound of footsteps and rapid breathing coming from the darkened program screen.
A bright voice with teasing undertones came, “President Zhu, are you abusing your power?”
Roommates immediately tightened their grip on Ming Hua’s hand.
The subsequent dialogue made all the girls in the room blush completely.
Kissing sounds accompanied by water sounds and soft hums, Zhuyou’s unrestrained remarks made Ming Hua unable to help but scream.
Ah, this pair of dog-like men actually ran away and kissed!
Ah, Zhuyou, what are you saying, shamelessly acting like a hooligan!
What do you mean wanting to press someone down and kiss them on your first meeting! Oh my goodness, my heart is exploding, my face is burning, and all I can do is scream!
Ming Hua and her roommates replayed this part of the audio several times, eagerly picking up their phones to see the online reactions. Online, the screaming had already started.
[Official releasing food! Official releasing food!!!]
[President Zhu’s temper is so fierce, isn’t this a kindergarten bus!]
[Dazed, only the sound counts as being brave, knowing they kissed but not seeing the scene, how much loss did the production team cause us? Who will compensate us? Production team, come out!]
On the trending list, the top ten searches were already occupied by #ZhuyunCoupleKissesInSecret# , #EscapedTheCameraButNotTheProductionTeam’sChase# , #LittlePresidentZhu: I’ve been a gentleman enough# , #LoveAtFirstSight,SecondSightWantingToGoToBed# , #ThisIsNotTheBusToKindergarten# and other hot topics.
Meanwhile, Pei Yunshu and Zhuyou, who were in the midst of shooting, completely didn’t notice the microphones clipped to them, nor did they expect such a scene in the broadcast.
***
The interactions between the two handsome guys in the show were quite intriguing.
Pei Yunshu had always portrayed himself as a gentle and gentlemanly figure. However, on this day, he kept avoiding Zhuyou, and Zhuyou stuck to him like he hadn’t seen him, shamelessly pressing up behind Pei Yunshu.
When handing Pei Yunshu fruits, Zhuyou would lightly scratch his palm with his fingertips. Sitting together to watch TV, he would slowly get closer, hand spread out resting on the sofa cushion behind Pei Yunshu, as if wanting to embrace him.
Pei Yunshu had encountered quite a few pursuers before, but none were as bold and shameless as Zhuyou. When working at night, his hands tapping on the keyboard were filled with frustration. He even gave a minor character who could only survive for one chapter the name “Zhuyou.”
The life simulation in the Sweet Home game simulated the life of a married couple. There was only one bedroom and one bed. Initially, Pei Yunshu thought it was fine since they were both men, and a large bed could accommodate them. However, after the events of that night, he now felt a headache looking at the bed.
In the end, he took out a spare mattress and decided to sleep on the floor.
After Zhuyou finished showering, he walked out with moisture all over his body. Seeing Pei Yunshu struggling to tidy up the mattress, he naturally took over, saying, “You go take a shower first.”
Pei Yunshu, originally as guarded as a hedgehog, felt like a burst balloon when Zhuyou said this. He nodded absently and walked into the bathroom.
Zhuyou lowered his head, looking at the mattress and squinting. Then he casually picked it up, threw it aside, and sat at the end of the bed. He stared at the bathroom door.
He couldn’t see anything, not even a shadow, but Zhuyou became more and more fascinated. Until the door opened, and Pei Yunshu walked into his sight.
The person who had just taken a shower was dressed more tightly, and in Zhuyou’s eyes, it added a bit more temptation than usual. His direct and almost fearfully perceptible gaze made Pei Yunshu quickly look up at him.
Walking to the bedside, he looked at Zhuyou and asked in a muffled voice, “Where’s my bed?”
Zhuyou sighed, “The production team said we can’t use the floor.”
He looked normal and somewhat satisfied. Pei Yunshu took it seriously, pursed his lips, and looked up at the camera above, his eyes full of anger at the perceived injustice, as if they were partners in crime.
Staff: “…”
Ah, they were the ones carrying this blame again.
Zhuyou waved at Pei Yunshu, “Come here, I’ll blow-dry your hair for you.”
Pei Yunshu walked over slowly, and Zhuyou gently played with his hair, warm air passing through the strands. His hand occasionally pressed and kneaded, creating a supremely comfortable feeling.
Pei Yunshu let out a small yawn. When Zhuyou stopped, he brought a blanket over, got into bed himself, and pulled the covers up.
Zhuyou turned off the light, covered the camera with clothes, blocking any view from then on. He also laid down on the bed.
The soft mattress trembled for a moment, bouncing Pei Yunshu for an instant. Pei Yunshu woke up abruptly in his drowsiness, looking at the other person on the bed in speechless surprise.
“Still not sleeping?” A low voice sounded by his ear, accompanied by a hint of tenderness that the night couldn’t entirely conceal. “If you don’t close your eyes soon, I’ll kiss you.”
Pei Yunshu: “… I’m straight.”
“Is that so?” The other person nonchalantly agreed, “So am I.”
Pei Yunshu elegantly rolled his eyes in the dark night. “Then why are you kissing me?”
“Just want to kiss you,” Zhuyou said, “How about a goodnight kiss? Wasn’t it uncomfortable when I kissed you earlier?”
“That’s not…” Pei Yunshu admitted honestly, “It was quite comfortable.”
His whole body felt like it had been electrified. Now, recalling it, he realized he was somewhat unsatisfied.
Zhuyou’s dark eyes suddenly brightened. He suppressed his excitement and slowly said, “How about another kiss now?”
The bedroom fell silent.
Zhuyou’s warm and excited heart gradually calmed down. Just as he was about to sigh, rustling sounds could be heard. Pei Yunshu emerged from his blanket, and his chest was slightly raised. Pei Yunshu whispered, “Don’t move, let me try.”
Zhuyou hoarsely said, “Alright.”
Pei Yunshu, not knowing what came over him, was moved by Zhuyou’s suggestion. After a moment of contemplation, he realized that, from start to finish, he hadn’t felt any “disgust” or “resistance” towards Zhuyou kissing him.
Was he really straight?
With both hands on either side of Zhuyou’s head, Pei Yunshu hesitated, looking at Zhuyou’s blurry face. When Zhuyou was about to get impatient, soft lips trembled and hesitantly landed on the corner of Zhuyou’s mouth.
Zhuyou didn’t move, fearing he might startle Pei Yunshu.
In an instant, Pei Yunshu lifted his head and, with lowered eyes, licked his lips. After realizing what he had done, he blushed, rolled over, and burrowed into his own blanket, lifting it to cover his head.
Oh God…
His entire body was tense, and the more he thought about it, the more awkward and embarrassed he felt. What had he done?
That night, Zhuyou didn’t make any trouble. Surprisingly, Pei Yunshu, drowsy, only fell asleep around two or three in the morning. Feeling like he had only slept for a few hours, he was pulled out of his blanket by the crew, saying that it was time to work.
Pei Yunshu’s expressionless face was shoved into the car. Zhuyou sat next to him, holding a steamed dumpling after another, feeding him. Pei Yunshu, like an emotionless eating machine, mechanically ate, and after being full, he blankly stared at Zhuyou, “Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there,” Zhuyou embraced him, coaxing in a nonchalant manner, “Take a nap first. I’ll wake you when we arrive. There’s no camera on the car; no one can see.”
“Mm…” Pei Yunshu closed his eyes, and in just a few minutes, his breathing became steady and long.
Watching him, Zhuyou, unable to resist, took out his phone and took a spin-shot of Pei Yunshu’s head, posting it online.
@TianyuEntertainment_ZhuYou: Cute. [Image.jpg]
In just a few seconds, his brother commented below: [Just a spin-shot? The crew told me you were falling in love. Are you that stingy with a lover in love? At least let me see his face.]
Zhuyou replied: [Heh]
Zhuyou put down his phone, ignoring those comments asking for a frontal shot. Thinking about how many people would see Pei Yunshu’s face after the show aired, he glanced at the photographer sitting in the passenger seat with a gloomy expression.
The photographer trembled and instantly closed the camera’s lens cover, smiling obsequiously at Zhuyou.
Upon arriving at the location, Zhuyou looked at the towering mountains and the dark sky outside the window, finally understanding what the crew had planned. However, compared to going mountain climbing to watch the sunrise, Pei Yunshu’s sleep was more important.
He gestured outside, asking the driver to drive to a spacious place, then held Pei Yunshu in his arms, ready to watch the sunrise like this.
The sky gradually warmed with a soft golden hue as the bright and gentle sun rose from the horizon. Pei Yunshu was awakened by Zhuyou’s soft voice, and upon opening his eyes, he saw a dazzling array of lights all around.
The sun, tinting half the sky in red and gold, resembled a bright yolk. Pei Yunshu stared blankly, wrapped in a blanket and held in Zhuyou’s arms, feeling the warmth inside the car with no trace of cold.
The sunrise transformed into a magnificent painting of colors. While Pei Yunshu had photographed many sunrises and sunsets, this experience was entirely different.
Feeling comfortable to the point of being boneless and full after a satisfying meal, he nestled in Zhuyou’s embrace, finding warmth within the car.
He couldn’t help but rub against Zhuyou’s chest, softly complaining, “Don’t be so good to me, okay?”
Zhuyou kissed his ear, murmuring, “Can’t help but be good to you.”
Pei Yunshu couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips, thinking having a boyfriend wasn’t bad at all.
Just as he had this thought, Zhuyou boldly confessed, “Can I be your boyfriend?”
Pei Yunshu remained calm for a moment. “Did you miss a sentence?”
Zhuyou nervously tightened his lips, at a loss for words. After a moment, he chuckled, flipped the person in his arms, turned his body, cradled Pei Yunshu’s soft face, and earnestly said, “I want to be your boyfriend. I love you.”
Pei Yunshu gasped, “We’ve only met a few times, and you’re saying you love me?”
Zhuyou’s smile was somewhat helpless. “Love at first sight.”
He knew that saying this might sound exaggerated, but this feeling he had upon meeting Pei Yunshu for the first time, he straightforwardly told Zhuyou that he fell in love.
It was strange, but Zhuyou willingly immersed himself in this emotion.
“And what about you?” Zhuyou rubbed against Pei Yunshu’s cheek. “Do you like me?”
“Very strange,” Pei Yunshu said softly, “but I’m happy when you kiss me.”
The familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of being cherished in the palm of one’s hand.
The two in the car naturally indulged in a kiss, and the cameras outside recorded the scene from all angles.
The director was delighted. “Our show has finally a couple. Let’s see who dares to say our show is fake this time.”
The subtitle editor stood nearby, unable to stop laughing.
“Next, they don’t need to do those matchmaking tasks,” the director joked, “Really, we’re spending our budget to let them travel around the world, playing around while throwing dog food at us. Little Zhuyou really knows how to avoid losing.”
People around burst into laughter. “Director, can we also follow Yunshu and Little Zhuyou flying around? You can just look after the three groups of guests.”
“I’m not the only director here,” the director slapped his thigh in frustration, “Alright, just don’t let them kiss too much. If they kiss too much, it won’t be suitable for minors!”
The people around were shaking their shoulders, their faces red from holding back laughter.
***
Three days later, the director couldn’t wait any longer. Riding on the wave of the first episode of “Sweet Love in Progress,” the official website released a photo and a statement.
@SweetLoveInProgress: Couldn’t resist indulging in this bowl of dog food, the official can’t eat alone and needs to share it with everyone. Wishing the renowned Green River Network writer Pei Yunshu and the CEO of Tianyu Entertainment, Little Zhuyou, a hundred years of happiness! [Image.jpg]
The picture showed the two people kissing inside a car separated by a window.
The golden sunlight spilled onto their faces, giving the image an extremely warm feel. It was so beautiful that it could be used as a screensaver.
Fans exploded.
Even passersby were shocked.
Everyone knew that this was playing for real; Pei Yunshu and Zhuyou were truly together.
Among the plethora of romance reality shows, they are the only couple who got together outside of the program.
In the online world, it was like being hit by a deep-sea bomb. Those who hadn’t watched this episode rushed to see the first episode. After watching, they willingly became fans, flooding the fan community with fan art, fanfiction, and fan videos.
Nothing makes fans crazier than real-life events.
Not long after, Zhuyou retweeted this Weibo post and mentioned @PeiYunshu: “They are urging us to get married.”
People who kept a close eye on them held their breath, nervously pinching their fingers. Fans bombarded Pei Yunshu with mentions, “Ah, ah, ah, marry him!” “Woo, woo, woo, please, please, quickly say yes!” “Is this a proposal? Is this a proposal?”
After a long while and amidst their fans’ constant calls, three hours later, Pei Yunshu posted a photo.
The photo showed two slender hands placed together, each wearing a silver ring.
Pei Yunshu’s tone was casual: “Marriage is too fast; let’s get engaged first. @ZhuyouWhoOnlyLovesYunshu”
Someone commented, “Isn’t engagement also fast?”
But more were teasing, making fun of the fan frenzy, mocking the popularity of the show, and joking about the cheesy username of Little Zhuyou.
But Pei Yunshu and Zhuyou, who were teased, had already returned home from the ring store.
Pei Yunshu left a note on the novel page: Engaged and on a honeymoon. See you next month.
Then, nervously, he didn’t dare to look at the comments, simply shutting down the computer.
Zhuyou was looking at the location provided by the program, suddenly bursting into a silly smile. Pei Yunshu beside him turned to look at his smiling face and couldn’t help but smile too.
Oh, this time the two of them were truly slapped in the face together.
But luckily, it must be fate. They unexpectedly found each other.
Pei Yunshu always had a feeling that he had known Zhuyou for a long time.
The dandelion’s language is waiting for a reunion, and the rose’s language is love. Perhaps the heavens thought they were destined, using such a romantic way to let them meet.
After the reunion, love never stops.
