Ling Shuangjiang took a slow breath, the tension of the final moment washing over him. He could smell a faint minty scent on Xie Wang, slightly different from before.
But he was captivated by the taste.
Finally, the bell rang, announcing their victory.
Down in the audience, the couple's fans were so excited they could hardly breathe. Because they had just been reminded by staff not to leak the photos beforehand, they relayed the news to everyone in text message.
@SweetBrothersVlog: Boss Xie! Holding Shuangjiang! Playing CrossFire! Because the stun gun was too heavy, Boss Xie was afraid Shuangjiang wouldn't be able to hold it! (Played during a break, because Shuangjiang didn't get to play during the actual filming, Boss Xie specifically requested it)
[Ahhh, so sweet!]
[Holding you? How are you holding me?]
[I also want to see President Xie holding Little Frost!]
[Oh my god, I've instantly conjured up 800 scenes from the classic romance novel "Begonia" in my mind.]
[I'm going to write fanfiction now, even though my nose is bleeding.]
During the recording of the show, Awen handed the two of them tissues and joked, "Mr. Xie, can this part be included in the main program?"
Xie Wang glanced at Ling Shuangjiang: "Let it go."
Awen nodded: "Okay, let's continue recording."
Next, we played two more mini-games, and then the recording of this episode officially ended.
Everyone was exhausted after a long day. The production team specially booked a restaurant to treat everyone to a meal.
At the dinner table, the director toasted everyone: "Thank you all for coming to record our program. Lianxun has also made great contributions to our station. On behalf of the program team and the TV station, I would like to toast everyone."
Lu Shaoheng gently picked up his wine glass, glanced at Xie Wang, and drank it down himself instead of doing as his manager had instructed.
This restaurant specializes in Sichuan cuisine, which Ling Shuangjiang really enjoys.
Seeing that he had eaten too much chili, Xie Wang reminded him, "Take it easy, or you'll get a stomachache."
Although Ling Shuangjiang felt that such a small amount of chili peppers wouldn't cause a stomachache, she still complied and said, "Okay."
Everyone knows the true nature of their relationship. But they also know that such things shouldn't be discussed lightly.
After dinner, everyone dragged their tired bodies home with their manager. Xie Wang wanted to take Ling Shuangjiang back, so Li Man left early.
Ling Shuangjiang was hungry today and ate quite a lot. After driving home with Xie Wang, they planned to take a walk in the nearby streets.
Today is the last solar term of autumn, Frost's Descent.
Xie Wang teased him, "Today is your solar term, shouldn't we celebrate it?"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "Yes, that's fine."
Xie Wang: "For example, we can name it the Frost's Descent Week. I'll come to see you every week for the next week and have dinner with you."
Ling Shuangjiang faced him and walked backwards like a child: "Dream on."
Xie Wang reminded him, "Be careful not to fall if you walk like that."
As I passed by the lake, I saw a young couple standing there.
She doesn't look very old.
The boy was excited and suddenly hugged the girl and kissed her. The girl struggled for a moment and then slapped the boy twice across the face.
The boy and girl looked at each other for a few seconds, then hugged each other and whispered intimately.
Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang exchanged a glance and quickened their pace to leave.
Upon reaching a deserted street, Xie Wang cleared his throat: "Young people these days really know how to have fun. That boy's slap mark on his face is quite red."
Ling Shuangjiang turned to face him again, hands in her coat pockets, her tone teasing: "Are you still staring at someone's face?"
Xie Wang retorted, "No, I just glanced at it."
Two slaps for a kiss? What were you thinking?
How childish.
Seeing Xie lost in thought, Ling Shuangjiang slightly raised the corners of her eyes and put on a teasing smile.
Suddenly, he tripped over something.
Seeing that Ling Shuangjiang was leaning backward, Xie Wang quickly grabbed his waist and pulled him into his arms.
Ling Shuangjiang was clearly frightened, his eyelashes trembling nervously. Xie Wang felt extremely distressed and quickly patted his back to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, it's alright."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded, leaving Xie Wang's embrace, her eyes still damp.
Xie Wang looked at Ling Shuangjiang and suddenly called out, "Shuangjiang."
Ling Shuangjiang looked at him and said, "Mm."
"Do you want to slap me twice?"
Chapter 51 Let's meet our childhood sweetheart.
"hand?"
After Ling Shuangjiang repeated it, she suddenly understood the meaning behind Xie Wang's words.
Xie Wang was very nervous at this moment, his hands in his pockets to hide his embarrassment, his dark pupils were bright and piercing.
Ling Shuangjiang smiled, finding Xie Wang's thought process really strange.
Who asked that question before?
What if I say no?
Xie Wang was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head dejectedly and said, "No, I won't kiss you."
At first glance, he looked somewhat aggrieved, but after observing him carefully for a while, Ling Shuangjiang felt that there was some acting involved.
"Okay, then take me home."
Xie Wang responded and followed behind Ling Shuangjiang.
Ling Shuangjiang walked ahead and could clearly see Xie Wang's figure. Xie Wang was obviously very downcast and followed behind alone, his head slightly drooping.
"Are you angry?" Ling Shuangjiang turned to look at him.
Xie Wang looked up: "No. Getting angry over this is too petty. I'm still pursuing you, so I shouldn't have kissed you in the first place."
Ling Shuangjiang teased him, "That's a good boy."
Xie Wang nodded, his eyes flashing slightly: "If my little Shuangjiang weren't so beautiful and gentle, I wouldn't have been able to resist making such an unreasonable request."
The two had reached the entrance of the building when Ling Shuangjiang turned to look at him and said, "Alright, you can drop me off here."
Xie Wang: "I'll take you to the door; it's not safe in the elevator anyway."
Ling Shuangjiang agreed: "Okay."
They took the elevator and quickly arrived at Ling Shuangjiang's floor. Xie Wang felt that time was passing too quickly and lingered, reluctant to leave.
Xie Wang escorted Ling Shuangjiang to the door, then asked in a low voice, "Shuangjiang, can I get ten extra points today?"
Ling Shuangjiang stood inside the room, separated from him by a door.
"Why give extra points?" he asked, his voice rising slightly.
Xie Wang's voice was somewhat muffled as he earnestly asked, "Did I perform poorly during today's recording?"
Ling Shuangjiang thought for a moment: "If you have to put it that way, your performance was quite good, but shouldn't we deduct one point for the secret affair?"
"You stingy guy." Xie Wang took out a small, exquisite box from his coat pocket. "Your birthday is still two weeks away. I promised to give you a gift every day, but I've been too busy lately and missed eight gifts, so I bought this for you."
Ling Shuangjiang took it, gently unpacked it, and found that it was a very elegant men's watch. The watchband was thinner than that of a traditional watch, and it didn't look out of place on him; it suited him very well.
“Your wrists are slender, this looks good on you,” Xie Wang added. “It’s been in my pocket for a long time; it’s a matching watch with mine.”
Ling Shuangjiang looked at him quietly and said softly, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Xie Wang: "There are seven gifts left, they're in my car. I'll bring them to you now."
"besides?"
"Yes, I promised to give you one thing every day during your birthday month, I can't break my promise."
What gift is it?
"It's the same watch; I bought one in different colors and styles."
Ling Shuangjiang chuckled: "These eight watches of yours will probably last me until I'm eighty."
Xie Wang smiled and said, "No, we can change it according to our mood. We can have eight days without repeating the same thing."
Ling Shuangjiang put on her watch and said to him, "Thank you."
Xie Wang: "You already said that."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded gently: "Then... goodnight?"
Xie Wang glanced at him reluctantly, preparing to slam the door shut for Ling Shuangjiang.
Suddenly, the door was blocked by a force from inside.
When Xie Wang curiously looked inside, Ling Shuangjiang quickly walked to his side, hooked her arm around his back, gently stood on tiptoe, and placed a soft kiss on his eyes.
"There are no bonus points, but there is this."
Ling Shuangjiang's eyes were moist, gleaming with a beautiful light.
The door was slammed shut again, and Xie Wang stood there for a long time, covering his eyes.
He didn't even know how he got downstairs to drive his car.
Back home, Xie Wangcai finally came to his senses.
While brushing his teeth, he looked closely at himself in the mirror and suddenly started grinning foolishly.
How fortunate he was to have met his little frost.
Are there really such cute and kind little angels in the world?
He was just a suitor, but the other person actually considered his feelings and kissed his eyes!
