The Love Reality Show's Big Boss and Little Sweetie - Chapter 69

The top of the passenger cabin was very spacious, housing a helicopter pad, a race track, a roller coaster, and ocean bungee jumping.

Each area had specialized staff on duty, and the safety measures were extremely thorough. Once you were up there, it felt as solid as walking on the ground, unlike being seventy or eighty meters in the air.

Regular cars could drive on the track, but it wasn’t as wide as a proper road—you might as well just drive a lap around the ship on the main deck. The track wasn’t long either; a full lap took only three to five minutes.

Mu Chi visually assessed that it seemed safe enough. He put on a helmet, donned a protective suit that resembled a life jacket, and got into the passenger seat of the go-kart Qi Liao had chosen.

A staff member stifled a laugh. “It’s only a parent-child seat. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Mu Chi: “…” No wonder the seat feels a bit small.

Qi Liao glanced at Mu Chi’s backside. “Comfortable?”

Mu Chi insisted, “It’s fine.”

“Your glute strength is pretty good.”

“…”

【What kind of suggestive compliment is that?】

【’Glute strength is good’ – means he can sit firmly in the go-kart, and also sit firmly on your luxury car, right? /sly grin】

【I can’t imagine how stable Mu Chi’s core strength must be when he’s sitting on the Demon King…】

【The Demon King gets to enjoy it in advance /lecherous grin】

Under the helmet, Mu Chi’s ears were burning, a faint blush visible on his cheeks. His peach-blossom eyes glared fiercely at Qi Liao.

Qi Liao felt as if he’d been scratched by a little cat’s paw, his heart itching, his mouth being provocative: “I’m praising you.”

Mu Chi: “Then I’ll praise you too. Such big feet.”

Qi Liao laughed. “You already praised that before. Try something else.”

Mu Chi remembered again the time they were in the small vegetable garden after he lost his memory, when he had praised Qi Liao for his big feet. Back then, Qi Liao had been angry. Why wasn’t he angry now?

“You… everything about you is big.” Mu Chi genuinely couldn’t think of any flaws in Qi Liao.

Qi Liao chuckled lowly. “Oh? You’ve seen everything?”

Mu Chi’s face felt hot. “N-No, I haven’t!”

【…He’s definitely seen it all!】

【’Everything is big’ – the Demon King’s ‘Little Demon King’ must be quite majestic too.】

【One is majestic, the other can sit firmly – a match made in heaven.】

【I’m going to report ‘You Also Had This Day’ for abusing single dogs!】

【I’ve never shipped a CP this sweet, pants ~】

【Pillow Guy is about to lose it haha】

【If Pillow Guy loses this time, he’ll get his eggs kicked in. No wonder he’s panicking!】

Guan Yuzhen raised his voice, “Are you two quite finished?”

Qi Liao: “Wait. The referee isn’t here yet.”

“Coming, coming!” Xu Wuxing came running over, full of enthusiasm. “You’re racing? I have to be the referee.”

Guan Yuzhen: “It’s just the two of us racing. Do we need a referee?”

“Of course we do!” Xu Wuxing, who loved excitement the most, took the checkered flag from a staff member. “Ready!”

The two go-karts drove to the starting line together. Mu Chi nervously gripped his seatbelt.

Xu Wuxing: “Bang!”

“?”

“…I’m simulating the starting pistol. Go!”

Guan Yuzhen’s kart shot out first. Qi Liao stepped on the gas and followed closely.

Go-karts, when driven wildly, were indeed not inferior to proper race cars. Combined with their small size, controlling them required even more caution. Overtaking on curves also became more difficult.

Guan Yuzhen, accustomed to riding motorcycles, had a wild style; in his youth, he had been a bit of a reckless young motorcyclist.

Mu Chi watched, wide-eyed, as Guan Yuzhen’s kart almost seemed to take flight. His heart leaped into his throat, and he blurted out, “You numbskull! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!”

Guan Yuzhen: “?”

In that moment of hesitation, Qi Liao brushed past him from the side. The impact caused both karts to spin. Qi Liao’s kart, carrying the weight of an extra person, stabilized first and shot straight for the finish line.

Xu Wuxing waved the flag wildly. “Yay! Brother Qi and Brother Mu won!”

Guan Yuzhen’s kart crossed the line a moment later. When he took off his helmet, his eyes were unavoidably resentful. He said to Mu Chi, “You really are a femme fatale who disrupts military morale.”

Mu Chi: “…”

Qi Liao said, “He’s my protective talisman.” As he spoke, he brought his face close to Mu Chi’s, took off his helmet, and their eyes met. “You can kiss me now.”

Mu Chi played dumb. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Qi Liao: “Should I say it a few more times? Kiss me, hug me. Kiss me, hug me. Kiss me, hug me…”

“…Stop!” Mu Chi was utterly mortified. “You’re a 1.9-meter-tall man, still asking for kisses and hugs? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Qi Liao was displeased. “And you’re a 1.8-meter-tall man, going back on your word? Aren’t you ashamed?”

“I’m not going back on my word.” Mu Chi didn’t dare look Qi Liao in the eye. “I’ll cash in it a bit later.”

“Fine.”

Mu Chi looked at Guan Yuzhen. “The punishment, however, needs to be carried out now.”

Guan Yuzhen took a step back. “You’re not really going to kick me in the crotch, are you?”

Mu Chi was eager, rubbing his hands together. “Why wouldn’t I?”

“What would it take to make you change your mind?”

Mu Chi thought for a moment. “You,clasp your hands and bow to me, and say Big Brother, I was wrong’ three times.”

Guan Yuzhen was quite able to bend or stretch. He clasped his hands and bowed. “Big Brother, I was wrong. Big Brother, I was wrong. Big Brother, I was wrong.”

Mu Chi waved his hand magnanimously. “Forget it. I’ll let you off this time. If there’s a next time, I guarantee you’ll end up without descendants).”

“……”

【Mu Chi has zero interest in Pillow Guy, huh.】

【I was looking forward to Mu Chi punching and kicking Pillow Guy.】

【I’m looking forward to Mu Chi kissing and hugging the Demon King! You must let us see this, production team, you hear me!】

After going down, they ran into Ying Xuan, who was taking check-in photos nearby, and invited him to join them at a café.

Ying Xuan smiled and went with them, also calling Lucas and Hao Wenrou to join.

Lucas launched another fierce pursuit of Guan Yuzhen, undeterred by repeated gentle rejections.

The group went together to the amusement park, the dance hall, the shopping center, and finally the spa center. Only the last place had relatively few people, so they decided to get spa treatments.

Mu Chi changed into a bathrobe in the changing room and lay down on the dedicated couch, accepting the masseuse’s massage.

The masseuse was a middle-aged woman with efficient techniques and a strength that was firmness within softness.

Mu Chi didn’t feel much at first, but when she hit a sore spot near his shoulder blades, he let out a muffled grunt.

Qi Liao from the next partition: “…”

Mu Chi: “Mmm… sore but good.”

Qi Liao’s breathing became slightly unsteady. “Don’t make noises.”

Mu Chi: “Ge… Qi Liao, don’t you find it comfortable?”

Qi Liao took a deep breath. “A massage is naturally comfortable.”

Mu Chi was pressed near his lower back. “Hahaha… that tickles.”

The masseuse laughed. “Just like my son, ticklish around the waist. I’ll press harder, then it won’t tickle.”

Qi Liao reached out and *whoosh* pulled aside the curtain between him and Mu Chi. He saw Mu Chi lying face down on the couch, the dip of his waist pronounced and his buttocks raised, being skillfully kneaded by a pair of experienced hands, an expression of pure bliss on his face.

Qi Liao was not pleased. “Auntie, just massage his arms.”

Mu Chi: “?? Why?”

Qi Liao: “For other places, I’ll massage you.”

Mu Chi widened his peach-blossom eyes and saw the male masseuse attending to Qi Liao pressing on Qi Liao’s pectoral muscles. “Stop! Those are my things to pinch!”

The male masseuse: “?”

Qi Liao grabbed the male masseuse’s hand. “Get a female one instead.”

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed, all captured by the following camera.

【Mutual jealousy, I can’t.】

【Hahaha the Demon King’s pecs are Mu Chi’s ‘squeezables’!】

【The squeezables must feel great.】

【Mu Chi’s butt, Qi Liao’s pecs… top tier /lecherous grin】

【If the butt sat on the pecs…】

【No, my nose is bleeding!】

An hour later, the two walked out of the spa feeling refreshed. Mu Chi said wistfully, “Next time I want to try the hydrotherapy.”

Qi Liao: “I’ll go with you.”

The others came out also looking dazed and enchanted. Lucas said, “This was much more comfortable than being in the pool.”

Ying Xuan smiled. “My body does feel much looser. And that moxibustion, I’ll have to try that next time too.”

Hao Wenrou: “They also have a sauna here.”

Xu Wuxing: “And cupping therapy!”

Mu Chi: “Let’s skip the cupping.” His skin couldn’t handle cupping. If it scarred, his life would be over.

Guan Yuzhen asked, “Where are you all off to next?”

Qi Liao took Mu Chi’s hand and started walking. “I’m going to collect my reward. Do as you please.”

“What reward?” Xu Wuxing asked.

Guan Yuzhen looked at him as if he were an idiot, shook his head, and left. The remaining people looked at each other, none able to figure it out.

The sea breeze gradually grew stronger, and dusk fell. There were very few people left on the deck. Mu Chi felt a strange sentimentality looking at the scene, as if it were the apocalypse and this was the only surviving place.

It felt so lonely it almost evoked a sense of poignancy, a kind of sorrow. Or perhaps the influence of the movie still lingered.

A single tear fell from Mu Chi’s eye.

Qi Liao’s heart ached. “If you don’t want to kiss, then don’t.”

Mu Chi snapped back to attention. “What?”

“Nothing. Kiss me, hug me.”

“……” Mu Chi had clearly heard ‘if you don’t want to kiss, then don’t.’

The following camera wobbled, the signal intermittent.

【They look like lovers at the end of the world. The cinematic feel is amazing.】

【Don’t stand by the railing, I’m scared the wind will blow them away!】

【This kind of night, these waves… isn’t this *Titanic*?】

【Is my internet slow, or is their signal bad?】

【Probably going out of signal range?】

Qi Liao was also afraid the strong wind might blow Mu Chi away. He pulled him further from the railing, stopping under the captain’s bridge.

Inside the bridge, the captain, who was observing, looked down through the window. His mustache twitched. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for being lovey-dovey here?

The two naturally didn’t notice the large, mustachioed face pressed against the window above them. Only the cameraman noticed.

【………… Creepy.】

【The captain is watching the live stream in real time, on site.】

【My habit of feeling embarrassed for others is acting up.】

“Fulfill your reward,” Qi Liao said to Mu Chi.

Mu Chi turned his face away shyly. “Not now.”

“It has to be now.”

“No, it’s not.”

The two of them went back and forth, speaking complete nonsense.

The cameraman could barely hold on, wobbling as if to say, “Could you maybe go inside the cabin first and do your flirting somewhere safe?”

*Crackle, BOOM!* Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the sky!

The cameraman: “Oh no, oh no! Public displays of affection lead to quick death! You’re going to get struck by lightning!”

Mu Chi was greatly alarmed. “I-I didn’t! I wasn’t showing off…”

Qi Liao grabbed Mu Chi and hurriedly pulled him inside.

Just as suddenly, the thunder in the sky ceased. The dark clouds scattered, revealing twinkling stars.

Mu Chi: “…………”

Qi Liao said, “It seems we can’t kiss outside. Let’s go back to the room.”

【Hahahahaha I’m dying of laughter】

【Sometimes, you just have to believe in a little metaphysics.】

【The end of science is metaphysics.】

【Thank you, merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, for your protection.】

【Thunder God and Lightning Mother: It’s these two showing off right under our noses, let’s scare them.】

【Guanyin: Stop! Those are under my protection.】

【What an incredible coincidence, what incredible imagination.】

Mu Chi didn’t dare to publicly display affection with Qi Liao anymore. Wherever they went, he maintained a one-meter distance. Even during dinner, he only relaxed after calculating that the table was exactly one meter wide.

Qi Liao’s face was full of displeasure, eating with a fierce intensity.

Hao Wenrou asked, “Brother Mu, what’s going on with you and Brother Qi?”

Mu Chi: “Nothing.”

Seeing he didn’t want to talk about it, Hao Wenrou’s eyes shifted. “I’m going to the arcade later. Want to come and relax?”

“Sure.”

After hurriedly finishing dinner, a few of them went to the arcade. As luck would have it, they ran into Guan Yuzhen.

Guan Yuzhen was continuously swiping his card at a claw machine, having thrown several hundred yuan in without getting a single stuffed toy.

Mu Chi couldn’t stand watching. He was just about to help him try once when he saw Qi Liao place one hand on top of the machine and shake it forcefully. *Ding, ding, ding!* Five stuffed toys fell into the chute.

“……”

Mu Chi saw Xu Wuxing playing a water gun game, shooting monsters, but his score was lower than the kid’s next to him. The kid ruthlessly mocked him, “You’re an adult and you’re worse than me? What a noob! Haha!”

Qi Liao walked over, picked up Xu Wuxing’s water gun, and sprayed all the monsters, easily surpassing the score.

The kid: “…”

Hao Wenrou was playing a racing simulator and losing badly. Qi Liao sat down and proceeded to mercilessly crush the opponent.

Even on the dance machine, Qi Liao scored higher than Lucas.

Everyone except Mu Chi suffered a 10,000-point critical hit.

“This arcade is no fun at all!” Xu Wuxing cried and ran out.

“It’s meant for kids anyway,” an elegant, magnetic voice said discordantly in this place.

“If it’s for kids, what are you doing here?” Qi Liao asked his elder brother.

Qi Yuan smiled. “Didn’t I say I’d take you to a more fun place tonight? You’ve been hard to find.”

Qi Liao said flatly, “Not going.”

“Brother-in-law, what do you think?” Qi Yuan asked Mu Chi.

Mu Chi glanced at Qi Liao. “If he’s not going, I’m not going either.”

“Truly the wife follows the husband’s lead huh.”

Mu Chi’s fist was just hardening when he heard Qi Yuan add, “At that place, Qi Liao can quickly repay his debt to me. Still not going?”

“It’s not selling his body, is it?”

“Of course not.”

Mu Chi was tempted. He said to Qi Liao, “Should we go take a look?”

Qi Liao still refused. “No.”

“……”

Qi Yuan shrugged. “Alright then. Enjoy yourselves.” He turned and left.

But not long after, Qi Yuan’s special assistant sought out Mu Chi and sneakily whisked him away, saying, “If you disappear, he’ll definitely come looking for you.”

After repeatedly confirming there was no trap, Mu Chi followed the assistant to the most hidden place on the cruise ship: a dazzlingly golden underground casino.

The moment they reached the entrance, Mu Chi latched onto a pillar and refused to let go, shouting at Qi Yuan, “Gambling is illegal! I won’t do it!”

Qi Yuan laughed heartily. “Look where you are right now.”

“At sea.”

“In international waters. Here, aside from murder and researching nuclear weapons, anything goes. It’s the world’s silent agreement, not illegal. Besides, this casino is just for fun, nothing major.”

Mu Chi clung to the pillar. “I don’t believe you! I’m waiting for Qi Liao to come!”

Qi Yuan reasoned with him. “The casino on the cruise ship is legal. I reported it to the authorities.”

Mu Chi: “No matter what you say, I’m waiting for Qi Liao!”

“……”

Meanwhile, back in the arcade, Qi Liao, while playing, soon realized Mu Chi was missing and called him. “Where are you?”

Mu Chi, hanging onto the pillar with one hand and one foot, was close to tears. gēge I was tricked! Scammed! Your big brother lured me to a casino! Does he want to sell my organs? Hurry and call the police! No, hurry and come save me!”

Qi Liao: “…………”

Qi Liao took a deep breath. “The casino, right? I’ll be right there.”

Reassured, Mu Chi glared at Qi Yuan with red-rimmed eyes. “Just you wait. Qi Liao is coming to save me.”

Qi Yuan’s silence was deafening.
