The Love Reality Show's Big Boss and Little Sweetie - Chapter 59

【If you meet someone who can laugh after being slapped, run. Fast.】

【Did he escape from a psychiatric hospital?】

【His laughter is downright demonic.】

【Even Mu Chi is freaked out hahaha】

Qi Liao took Mu Chi’s hand and left, not bothering with the suspected lunatic, Guan Yuzhen.

Guan Yuzhen finally gradually reined in his laughter and said to Xia Yang, “They really are quite lovey-dovey, aren’t they?”

Xia Yang couldn’t be bothered with him either and went off to run by himself. Guan Yuzhen didn’t follow; he hadn’t come here to run in the first place.

On the way back, Mu Chi bickered with Qi Liao. “It’s all your fault I hit someone.”

“If you hadn’t done it, I would have,” Qi Liao said.

“You’d really hit him? He’s your fiancée.”

“What fiancée?” Qi Liao felt a chill of disgust. “Don’t talk nonsense. I never acknowledged that.”

Mu Chi puffed up angrily. “Then why does he keep clinging to you?”

“I’ve only met him twice in total. You’ve also met him twice. Can we please stop talking about him?”

Mu Chi didn’t want to talk about Guan Yuzhen either, but he was still fuming. “Anyway, you need to solve this problem, or I’ll never speak to you again.”

Qi Liao was also annoyed. “I’ll beat him up and drive him away this afternoon.”

Mu Chi immediately said, “I’ll help you beat him up and drive him away.”

【…………】

【Since they started dating, their IQs have plummeted.】

【I actually think this decision fits the Demon King’s personality perfectly. Simple and brutal. I like it.】

【But Guan Yuzhen doesn’t seem like the type who’s afraid of getting hit.】

【What if beating him up just makes him more excited? What if he’s a masochist?】

Back at the courtyard, Mu Chi couldn’t wait to tell the others about his and Qi Liao’s plan, hoping they would lend a hand.

Ying Xuan hesitated. “Hitting someone isn’t good, ultimately. It’s better to reason with him and ask him to leave politely.”

Mu Chi: “Then we’ll try courtesy before force. If he doesn’t leave, we’ll all jump him together.”

“…”

Xu Wuxing, who loved stirring up trouble the most, raised both hands in agreement. “Yeah! I’ve had it with that ‘Pillow’ guy.”

Hao Wenrou shot Xu Wuxing an glance, as if looking at an idiot. “But… hitting people is illegal.”

Xu Wuxing: “We don’t have to put him in the hospital. At worst, we get a day of lecturing at the police station. My agent will find a way to get me out. Besides, Brother Qi is the ringleader, he’d get the worst of it. We’re just accomplices.”

Mu Chi: “…You’re so smart.”

Xu Wuxing, buoyed by the praise: “Brother Mu, you’ve finally noticed! I can be quite clever sometimes.”

【Hahahaha Another day being amused by Xu Wuxing.】

【Xingbao, you’re the smartest! /s】

【A truly smart person wouldn’t help their male god drive away a love rival…】

【Wenrou’s expression: This love rival Xu Wuxing is a lost cause, completely hopeless.】

At this point, Lucas raised a question: “Why do we have to beat him up? Can’t we just seduce him?”

Everyone: “?? What do you mean?”

Lucas volunteered: “I have quite a bit of confidence in my charm. How about I give it a try?”

Qi Liao let out a scornful snort.

Lucas winked at him. “If I succeed, it’s a good thing for you too, isn’t it?”

“Then go ahead.”

Lucas changed into a Hawaiian-style floral shirt, tight pants that accentuated his butt, and sprayed on a rich perfume that left a fragrant trail as he walked, effectively repelling the mosquitoes in the courtyard.

Lucas leaned against the main gate, blew a kiss to everyone, got into a car, and set off on his great mission to seduce Guan Yuzhen.

Mu Chi sighed deeply at Lucas’s spirit of sacrifice. “He’s such a good person.”

This inadvertent ‘good person card’ had netizens laughting.

Xu Wuxing said, “Let’s go watch, quick!”

Several of them squeezed into an SUV and tailed Lucas’s car.

Lucas had specially pinned a small camera and microphone to his collar so he could talk to the others. “Don’t worry, everyone. I have a fifty percent chance of success.”

Mu Chi: “Yeah, every pregnant woman has a fifty percent chance of having a boy.”

“…”

Guan Yuzhen was staying at the Sunset Hotel. He hadn’t said so himself; the production team provided the tip. The director’s intentions were truly despicable.

They drove along the coastal road to the hotel. The hotel gates opened for them. Lucas operated alone, while the others searched for traces of Guan Yuzhen like spies.

Finally, Xu Wuxing, after some exploration, found the hotel rooftop and excitedly sent a WeChat to the group: Target located on the rooftop! Requesting backup!

Mu Chi: “…” Kid, you’re really into this role.

Lucas replied on WeChat: Bait is entering the area. Irrelevant personnel, stand down.

Xu Wuxing: I am not irrelevant personnel!

Mu Chi: We’re counting on you, Lucas.

The others chimed in one by one: Good luck.

Lucas: Ok.

They took the elevator up to the rooftop, where there was a small utility room. Hiding here, they wouldn’t be discovered for the time being. Lucas and Xu Wuxing exchanged places, and Lucas made his entrance with an air of casual elegance.

“Wow, Mr. Guan, what a coincidence.” As an international supermodel, Lucas had a distinctive way of walking, full of style. He was tall and magnificently built; even without seeing his face, people were easily drawn to his physique.

Guan Yuzhen was no exception, raising an eyebrow as he looked him up and down. “Mr. Lucas, can I help you?”

Lucas made himself at home, sitting opposite him. “Nothing much. I just thought Mr. Guan might be lonely, drinking by himself.”

“Being together is certainly joyful, but drinking alone has its own merits too.”

“Such as?”

“Solitude is a required course in life. It seems Mr. Lucas hasn’t passed it.” Guan Yuzhen smiled gracefully and took a sip of red wine.

Lucas looked at him, mesmerized. “You are the most captivating person I’ve ever met.”

“Thank you.”

Lucas pointed to the wine in the ice bucket. “May I join you for a drink?”

“Of course.” Guan Yuzhen signaled to the waiter standing by to bring another glass.

The two chatted happily over wine, talking about everything except private matters.

Mu Chi and Qi Liao were squeezed by the door, listening to the sounds from the rooftop. They almost had the illusion that Lucas might actually succeed in seducing Guan Yuzhen? The two did seem to have a good rapport, avoiding anything they shouldn’t say and able to converse freely about everything else.

It was Xu Wuxing’s first time witnessing Lucas’s charm. He gritted his teeth, thinking that if he could learn even a tenth of it, maybe he could make Mu Chi see him in a new light… Wait, no, Lucas was right in front of Mu Chi, and Mu Chi wasn’t interested. Evidently, peacocks weren’t within Mu Chi’s aesthetic preferences.

The five of them were crammed into this small room, stuffy and hot. With the cameraman added, it was like being packed in a can, jostling against each other, utterly undignified.

Qi Liao endured it for ten minutes before he couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed Mu Chi’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go.”

Mu Chi still wanted to peek through the crack in the door…

Qi Liao held his hand, finding a trace of coolness. Mu Chi naturally didn’t sweat much, and his skin was often cool to the touch. In contrast, Qi Liao felt like a blazing furnace.

Mu Chi wasn’t defeated by the stuffy heat of the room, but he was ignited by the fiery heat radiating from Qi Liao. Blushing, he nodded.

The two struggled their way towards the elevator. Xu Wuxing, unwilling to miss out on the drama, desperately tried to squeeze forward. In the chaos, Xu Wuxing’s butt bumped against the door. “Ah?!”

With a crash, the small door swung open, and Xu Wuxing tumbled out, landing flat on the ground.

“…”

The others stifled their gasps.

Qi Liao immediately shoved Mu Chi into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor.

Such an embarrassing scene must not be witnessed.

【？？HAHAHAHAHA】

【Wenrou is stunned.】

【Ying Xuan is stunned.】

【The cameraman is stunned too.】

【Demon King, you have no loyalty! How could you abandon them all and just take Mu Chi hahaha】

【My secondhand embarrassment is acting up. My toes are curling hard enough to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.】

The worst off was still Xu Wuxing. He groaned as he got up from the floor, and Ying Xuan hurriedly went to help him.

Lucas smiled charmingly at Guan Yuzhen and said, “They were worried about me, so they tagged along.”

Guan Yuzhen smiled and raised his glass. “Join me for a drink?”

Ying Xuan also felt this was highly improper and said apologetically, “Sorry, no thank you.”

【Poor award-winning actor. His dignity for this lifetime is completely gone.】

【It’s all the Demon King’s fault.】

【Isn’t it because Lucas suggested seduction…】

【Blame Brother Pillow for showing up.】

【No, blame the person who arranged the marriage for Qi Liao and Guan Yuzhen before they were born.】

【Blame the person who made Madam Qi and Madam Guan become best friends.】

【Blame the existence of the two families, the Earth, the universe.】

【You guys are invincible.】

Mu Chi and Qi Liao ran to the garden behind the hotel. Listening to the voices in his earpiece, Mu Chi felt immensely guilty. “They haven’t come down yet.”

Qi Liao pulled him to sit by the fountain to cool off. “Let’s wait.”

After about five minutes, the others came down looking pale, especially Xu Wuxing, who was absolutely furious. “Brother Qi! Brother Mu! You have no sense of camaraderie!”

Qi Liao: “If you hadn’t fallen out on your butt, it wouldn’t have happened.”

“…”

Hao Wenrou said sadly, “Brother Qi only wanted to escape with Brother Mu. How could he spare a thought for us?”

Qi Liao said flatly, “I just reacted quickly on the spot. I’m not some deity who can whisk away four people at once.”

“At least you could have warned us…”

“Mu Chi and I got into the elevator. Did you react in time?”

Hao Wenrou had nothing to say and sat sulking to the side.

Qi Liao stood up and said to Mu Chi, “Let’s go. Let’s clear our heads.”

Behind the Sunset Hotel was an orchard. The apples on the trees had been rotting for a long time, unpicked. Mu Chi picked two fresh green apples, bit the skin off each to taste them, and said, “Brother, this one’s sweet.”

Qi Liao: “Aren’t you afraid they’ve been sprayed with pesticides?”

“If they’d been sprayed, they wouldn’t just let the apples rot here. It’s safe to eat.” Mu Chi was quite experienced. This orchard was probably intended for tourists staying at the hotel; it belonged to the hotel.

Eating their apples, they strolled through the sparse, low orchard. Qi Liao said, “I haven’t seen many apple trees. A single tree can actually bear so many apples.”

Every apple tree here was laden with fruit. The hotel staff couldn’t possibly eat them all even if they picked them daily. Mu Chi also found it a pity, but after thinking, felt it wasn’t so bad. “It’s good that these apples can return to the soil. Oh! A wild rabbit!”

A dusty gray wild rabbit, clutching an apple, hopped away. Mu Chi hopped after it, but how could he possibly catch up?

Qi Liao laughed fondly. “You really are a rabbit.”

Losing sight of the rabbit, Mu Chi stopped chasing. “I wonder where its home is.”

“‘A wily hare has three burrows.’ Even if you found its home, it might not be living there.” Qi Liao gently pinned Mu Chi against a nearby apple tree. “Why don’t you guess what I’m going to do to you?”

Looking into Qi Liao’s eyes, Mu Chi knew exactly what he intended, but he deliberately didn’t say it, pursing his lips into a smile. “I guess… you’re going to hit me.”

Qi Liao: “Couldn’t bear to.”

Mu Chi: “You’re going to scold me?”

Qi Liao: “Don’t want to scold.”

Mu Chi: “You should say you won’t scold.”

Qi Liao pinched his delicate chin, his thumb brushing over those thin, rose petal like lips, meeting those peach-blossom eyes filled with affection. “You’re being disobedient. I’m going to punish you. Do you like that kind of ‘scolding’?”

“I like it.” Mu Chi’s playful banter with Qi Liao was endlessly enjoyable. “How are you going to punish me?”

Qi Liao lowered his head and captured those lips in a kiss, with a force that seemed intent on crushing a flower.

A hundred meters away, on the rooftop, Guan Yuzhen watched the orchard through binoculars. “They really aren’t picky about the location.”

Lucas: “…You’re invading their privacy.”

“They’re kissing in broad daylight. Are they afraid of being seen? Look at this cameraman’s lens—the zoom is even clearer than binoculars.”

Cameraman: “…”

On the screen, the tall, mixed-race youth pinned the slightly slimmer, beautiful youth against the tree trunk, kissing him passionately, as beautiful as a painting.

That day, the live stream of You Also Have This Day exploded. Compared to the previous accidental kiss and the checkered flag forehead kiss, this was a genuine, privately shared kiss captured on camera.

【AHHHH THEY’RE KISSING!】

【This is a day for the Fire and Water CP fans to spin around in happiness!】

【Darn it, can’t it be any clearer?!】

Just then, an apple fell from the tree, thumping down squarely onto Mu Chi’s head.

Mu Chi was knocked out cold instantly.
