Xie Wang snorted and, behind Ling Shuangjiang's back, rebuilt the brothers' group, intending to ask everyone for advice.
After Xie Wang recounted the whole situation to the group, the chat remained silent for a long time.
[Xiang Ming: Is he sick? The description of Frost's Descent is so obvious, can't he understand?]
[Chen Siqi: My dad was praising you to me yesterday, saying you're doing well in England. He definitely doesn't believe you're actually like this.]
[Qi Hang: It's the Lunar New Year, everyone, let's not be so hostile. Brother Xie, the meaning of "Frost's Descent" is that you should at least have a ring when you propose to him.]
[Lü Xin: He's implying you should propose to him.]
Xie Wang pondered it again and suddenly realized the truth.
Previously, whenever the two discussed this topic, he was always immersed in the sadness of being rejected, completely ignoring Ling Shuangjiang's hints.
The feeling of having lost it and then found it made his shoulders shake with laughter.
It turns out that his little swan also wanted to marry him as soon as possible.
The other side of the bed trembled slightly, and since Xie Wang deliberately avoided Ling Shuangjiang, Ling Shuangjiang quietly got up, thinking that Xie Wang was secretly crying.
He leaned closer and hugged Xie Wang from behind: "Xie Wang, what's wrong?"
Xie Wang suppressed a laugh, turned around and hugged him: "Nothing."
Ling Shuangjiang pretended to be unintentional, cupped Xie Wang's face, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no tears.
There's no need to beg for a marriage proposal.
He could actually do it too.
With Valentine's Day still a month away, Ling Shuangjiang sent Cheng Fan a WeChat message, inviting Fan Yin to prepare two engagement rings for the two of them.
After planning everything, Ling Shuangjiang leaned against Xie Wang's chest and gradually fell asleep.

Before they knew it, it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Xie Wang took Ling Shuangjiang to Yunnan to film "Infinite Challenge."
Airfares during the Chinese New Year period are extremely popular. Xie Wang and Ling Shuangjiang stayed up until midnight last night, so he naturally couldn't bear to let Ling Shuangjiang sit in the hard regular seats on the plane.
Having prepared his private jet in advance and made all the necessary arrangements, Xie Wang also brought along the men's couple bracelets he had ordered before the Lunar New Year, ready to set off.
That evening, the two arrived in Yunnan.
Ling Shuangjiang rested well on the plane because the space was spacious and she was very comfortable lying on the soft sofa.
Since Xie Wang helped him check his immunity, his health has indeed improved a lot.
Especially during the period after filming the movie, Xie Wang would take him to exercise and work out every day, which greatly improved his physical fitness.
In the past, if Xie Wang had done this to him, he would have been completely unable to work the next day. But now, he can do normal activities without any problems.
Upon arriving at the hotel provided by the production team, the two received their room keys and checked in separately.
The recording officially starts tomorrow afternoon, so I can rest for half a day.
This time, the guests included three real-life couples and two on-screen couples.
One group consists of Xie Ling, and the other group consists of the two male leads from the recently popular TV series "Dear Venus".
Xie Wang's room was opposite Ling Shuangjiang's. Before checking in, Xie Wang didn't even want to go in and planned to send his luggage directly to Ling Shuangjiang.
However, Li Man said that it would be best for the two to separate during the recording period, otherwise if the media photographed them spending the night together, it would definitely be gossip news. Even if they announced their relationship, it would be distorted into them being caught having an affair, a helpless move.
Xie Wang had no choice but to agree, and when he parted from Ling Shuangjiang, he was frowning and felt very aggrieved.
Seeing the tall, 1.9-meter-tall man leaning against the doorframe looking aggrieved, Ling Shuangjiang coaxed, "How about we make an official announcement after this variety show ends?"
Xie Wang nodded: "Okay."
The other on-screen couple was named Lu Yao and Sheng Xiao. When they checked in that night, they made a point of knocking on Ling Shuangjiang's door to greet him and express their appreciation. They also brought him snacks and cake.
Ling Shuangjiang thanked them and invited the two to chat for a while. As she saw them out, the door opposite slammed shut.
Seeing the two looking at them strangely, Ling Shuangjiang said, "Someone may have just returned."
Lu Yao nodded: "It seems that President Xie lives across the street, so we won't disturb him."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Okay."
After their brief exchange, Ling Shuangjiang could tell that the two were currently in a state of ambiguity. Lu Yao's feelings for Sheng Xiao were obvious, but Sheng Xiao seemed indifferent and somewhat distant.
The two men sought him out because they had a special mission the next day, which their two groups would be responsible for.
"Are you there?" Ling Shuangjiang looked quietly at the door opposite, her gaze falling on the peephole.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and Xie Wang looked at him: "What a coincidence, I just happened to see them knocking on your door. I was worried that you were in danger, so I've been keeping watch."
Ling Shuangjiang saw through his intentions but didn't say anything. After relaying the special mission that Sheng Xiao had conveyed to him, Xie Wang was finally relieved: "I understand."
It was 10 p.m. Ling Shuangjiang was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door. He initially thought it was Xie Wangxiang sneaking in, but after seeing who was looking through the peephole, he was somewhat puzzled.
Sheng Xiao, holding the milk, said warmly, "Shuangjiang, I forgot to bring you this earlier. People like us who stay in hotels all year round sometimes have trouble sleeping. This milk is calming and helps you sleep."
Ling Shuangjiang, wearing pajamas, smiled kindly and said, "Thank you."
Sheng Xiao looked into his eyes: "Good night."
As soon as Sheng Xiao left, the door opposite opened immediately.
Xie Wang looked at the milk and said seriously, "When you're out and about, be wary of things from strangers; they might have been spiked."
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh: "Okay."

The next day, all the guests gathered in the dressing room, changed into their respective team uniforms, and applied light makeup for final preparations.
Xie Wang and Ling Shuangjiang's team uniforms are mint green, a refreshing color, and when they stand together, they look like a perfect couple.
The dressing room for the two was next to Sheng Xiao and Lu Yao's. After Sheng Xiao was ready, he came to find Ling Shuangjiang and prepared to provide him with some important clues for this episode of the murder mystery game.
Xie Wang went out to answer the phone, leaving Ling Shuangjiang alone in the dressing room.
Sheng Xiao, holding his phone, said, "Shuangjiang, should we add each other on WeChat? I'll send you the information I've collected online."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Okay."
After adding him as a friend, Sheng Xiao looked around the room: "Is President Xie not here?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "He went out to answer the phone."
Sheng Xiao nodded and looked at him: "Actually, we are quite destined to be together."
Ling Shuangjiang put down her eyebrow pencil and asked softly, "What do you mean?"
Sheng Xiao: "I was originally slated to play the second male lead in Director Jia's movie, but due to scheduling conflicts, the company chose the TV series Venus for me instead."
Ling Shuangjiang said calmly, "That's good too. This TV series has been getting high ratings recently."
Sheng Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to be able to work with you again so soon."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and, seeing that Sheng Xiao had no intention of leaving, picked up her phone and browsed Weibo, waiting for the recording to begin.
Just then, Xie Wang, who had just finished a phone call, walked in. Sheng Xiao stood up: "Hello, Mr. Xie."
Xie Wang nodded: "Hello."
After glancing at Sheng Xiao and then at Ling Shuangjiang, Xie Wang said, "The recording is about to start, let's go."
Lu Yao from next door came over at this time, greeted Xie Wang, and said to Sheng Xiao, "I've been looking for you for a long time. So you're here."
The words "half a day" forced Xie Wang to pay attention to Sheng Xiao once again.
Time was running out, and the four of them walked side by side down the hallway, boarding the elevator to prepare for their meeting.
There were only four of them in the elevator. They sat in pairs, very quietly.
At this moment, Xie Wang took out two pairs of men's couple bracelets from his pocket. The silver surface was adorned with a few blue diamonds, exuding understated luxury.
"I bought this before the New Year, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you yet. Wear it."
These words attracted the attention of Sheng Xiao and Lu Yao, who turned around simultaneously.
Ling Shuangjiang said softly, "So beautiful."
Xie Wang put it on him: "These are couple bracelets, called Cupid's Kiss, they suit us very well. But if we don't say anything, outsiders definitely won't know they're couple bracelets."
Ling Shuangjiang was slightly taken aback, glancing at the surprised expressions of the other two out of the corner of her eye.
Xie Wang was speechless, his brows suddenly furrowing: "Shuangjiang, it seems we've been exposed. I didn't mean to."

Xie Wang's bluntness made the two people next to him feel uneasy.
Lu Yao quickly looked away, pretending to look at her phone, and gently tugged at Sheng Xiao's sleeve, reminding him not to look anymore.
Xie Wang's acting skills are somewhat clumsy, especially when he lies; his eyes become exceptionally bright, and those who know him well can see through him at a glance.
But Ling Shuangjiang didn't expose her; instead, she cooperated fully.
"It's okay, don't worry."
He fiddled with the couple's bracelet on his wrist, adjusted its position, then took Xie Wang's hand and squeezed his palm.
Seeing that the two people in front of him were no longer looking at them, Xie Wang lowered his eyes, pretending to be downcast, hugged Ling Shuangjiang tightly, and rubbed his chin against Ling Shuangjiang's hair before he was satisfied.
The remaining few seconds in the elevator were undoubtedly a long time.
Sheng Xiao and Lu Yao remained silent, but their hearts were filled with turmoil.
Lu Yao took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Sheng Xiao: "They're actually together! We shouldn't let anyone else know about this, or it won't be good for either of us."
Sheng Xiao: "Mm."
Lu Yao: "I never expected that the romance reality show would be based on real feelings! I thought it was usually scripted."
Sheng Xiao didn't reply to Lu Yao this time; he put his phone in his pocket.
In the square where the recording was being held, the live streaming equipment was already in place, and each couple made their appearance.
[Where's my brother's partner? I haven't seen them yet.]
