The Love Reality Show's Big Boss and Little Sweetie - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Vacation

The late summer, early autumn evening breeze was slightly cool. Tourists, carrying their necessary documents and a change of clothes, disembarked from the cruise ship one by one.

Among them, a discordant figure was hauled off the ship by two bodyguards and unceremoniously dumped onto the dock. The man fell onto the iron plates of the port, cursing loudly: “I won’t let you get away with this!”

Brother Zhao continued his stream of curses as he stumbled away in a wretched state.

Mu Chi watched from above for a moment before going down himself. All the dating show guests were present, and pink tour buses were ready and waiting.

Everyone boarded the sightseeing vehicles headed for the scenic spots.

Qi Liao sat openly beside Mu Chi, his arm draped around his shoulders in an intimate posture.

Two resentful gazes remained fixed on them. Mu Chi fidgeted uncomfortably and quietly tried to remove Qi Liao’s hand.

Qi Liao put his arm right back.

Mu Chi whispered, “They’re watching.”

Qi Liao: “Let them watch. You’ll have to get used to it sooner or later.”

Mu Chi said awkwardly, “I don’t think I can get used to it.”

Only then did Qi Liao let him go, addressing the group: “Is this everyone’s first time in the Maldives?”

Lucas: “I’ve been here many times. I’m already bored of it.”

“Then why did you come?” Xu Wuxing’s tone was aggressive.

Lucas smiled. “For a romantic encounter, of course.”

“You lecher!”

“Confucius said, ‘Appetite for food and sex is nature.'”

Mu Chi: “… That was Mencius who said that.”

“How come I remember Confucius saying something similar?”

Mu Chi thought about it. “Are you thinking of the phrase, ‘Eating, drinking, and sexual desire are major human cravings’?”

Lucas raised a finger. “Ah, yes, that’s the one. Makes sense, doesn’t it?”

Xu Wuxing rolled his eyes. “Don’t use the teachings of Confucius and Mencius to brush people off. I’m telling you, overindulgence means you’ll go to hell even after you die.”

Lucas said lazily, “We’ll worry about that after death. Life is short. Seizing the day is what matters.”

Qi Liao nodded. “Right.”

Lucas laughed. “As fellow males, our perspectives unsurprisingly align.”

Qi Liao neither confirmed nor denied.

【?】

【So is the Big Devil planning to indulge his desires now?】

【Wenrou caught the implication. The sky is falling… again, hahaha】

【Mu Chi is as oblivious as ever】

【He’ll understand after the Big Devil does him a few times / Sneaky laugh】

【Director, we had a deal about the steamy content. You can’t go back on your word】

【I’m already imagining it / Drooling】

The sightseeing vehicles arrived at the scenic area. Naturally, the program team wouldn’t rent a vacation villa for just eight hours. The next part was free activity.

“Whether you want to take photos and check in, go to a restaurant to eat, or simply do nothing and slowly pass these eight hours, just make sure to gather back here before 1:30 a.m.,” the tour guide said, waving a little red flag. “Raise your hand if you need me to guide you.”

Xu Wuxing obediently raised his hand, but seeing how everyone else seemed perfectly capable, he put his hand back down.

Tour Guide: “Then I’ll stick with Xu Wuxing. The rest of you are free to explore. Keep your walkie-talkies and phones on.”

Xu Wuxing said weakly, “That’s not necessary. I’ll follow Brother Mu and them.”

Mu Chi took a frightened step back, advising, “Xu Wuxing, you’d be better off staying with the tour guide.”

Xu Wuxing’s large eyes were dark and solemn in the night. “Mu Ge, I want to follow you.”

“…”

Ying Xuan once again stepped up at this critical moment. “Xing Xing, you come with me.”

Xu Wuxing trusted Ying Xuan. He hesitated. “Ying Ge, I wanted to go off on my own…”

Ying Xuan took his hand and said gently, “I’m worried about you. Stay with me, okay?”

Xu Wuxing stared dazedly at Ying Xuan’s refined, handsome face. Those profound features, the kind you only saw in movies, were impossible to resist. He nodded. “Okay.”

Ying Xuan smiled and led Xu Wuxing away.

Mu Chi was flabbergasted.

Qi Liao pondered deeply. “So this is what they call the handsome man stratagem.”

Hao Wenrou was speechless. Lucas praised, “As expected of a Film Emperor. He can soothe someone with just one sentence.”

【That wasn’t just soothing), that was bewitching him!】

【Ahhh! I’m shipping it!】

【Film Emperor x Singing-and-Dancing Prince, I can get behind this】

“Let’s go.” Qi Liao led Mu Chi away, but Hao Wenrou stuck to them again. Unlike the boisterous Xu Wuxing, he followed behind the two of them without a word.

Lucas called out, “Wenrou, where are you going?”

Hao Wenrou said, “I’m just walking around.”

“I can take you to find some romance?”

“No need.” Hao Wenrou met Qi Liao’s cold gaze head-on and said unhurriedly, “Since it’s free time anyway, why don’t we go together?”

“No.” Qi Liao led Mu Chi towards the scenic spot’s service station and rented a bungalow.

Mu Chi felt the pinch. “It’s only eight hours. Isn’t renting it for the whole night a bit wasteful?”

“Not wasteful.” Qi Liao took the keys, exchanged a few brief words in English, then took Mu Chi onto the resort’s special vehicle, heading to the overwater bungalow.

The bungalow curved over the sea, surrounded by spectacular coral reefs and some marine life for viewing.

The driver said, “It’s a pity you came at night. If it were daytime, there would be many water activities available.”

Qi Liao: “We’ll see them next time we come.”

“But you can go paddling on the water at night. The small boat is behind the bungalow.”

“Thanks.”

The vehicle drove to the area around the resort. Qi Liao checked his phone’s GPS and led Mu Chi to the bungalow they would stay in for the night.

The resort was very quiet at night. Stars seemed to flow upon the seawater, and walking on the bridge felt like being in a fairyland. Mu Chi marveled, “The starry sky over the sea is so beautiful.”

The surrounding bungalows were scattered, large and small, mostly circular shapes dotting the sea’s surface, brightly lit. If viewed from above, it must look like a utopia.

As Mu Chi walked, he misstepped, his body lurching violently—only to be caught in Qi Liao’s arms, narrowly avoiding a fall.

The camera footage shook along with him.

Mu Chi was still shaken. He whispered, “Thank you, gege.”

Qi Liao laughed. “You really never let me rest easy, no matter where we are.”

Mu Chi felt very embarrassed and strode ahead to the bungalow.

It was a garden full of fresh flowers, with a swimming pool connected to the sea not far away, its blue waves rippling under the starlight. Mu Chi’s eyes lit up. “I want to swim.”

The pool on the cruise ship was nice, but it was too crowded; he could never really use it properly.

Qi Liao smiled. “Okay.”

The two changed into their swimwear and reveled in the overwater pool. Mu Chi was overjoyed, splashing around in the water like a mermaid.

Qi Liao went to catch the mermaid, holding the beauty in his arms. Sheltering them from the camera’s view, he kissed his cheek.

Mu Chi glanced shyly towards the camera, then pulled Qi Liao into the water for a kiss.

【Ahhhhhhh!】

【So beautiful, so beautiful! I’m fulfilled!】

【They don’t think we can see them kissing, do they? / Lecherous look】

【’The water is too clear, then there will be no fish’… but if the water is clear, you can see the couple kissing underwater!】

【So romantic! You guys really know how to have fun】

They kissed until they were breathless. Qi Liao carried Mu Chi out of the pool, both of them dripping wet as they came ashore and entered the bungalow together.

The bungalow’s doors and windows weren’t very sturdy; a robber could get in easily. Therefore, although the cameraman didn’t follow them inside, he circled the bungalow, trying to capture something stimulating.

Inside, Mu Chi and Qi Liao showered in the bathroom. After confirming the bathroom door was locked, they embraced each other, bodies warm and heated.

Mu Chi was both proactive and clingy. Qi Liao, infected by his passion, almost lost control. It wasn’t until the beautiful youth in his arms went limp at the waist that Qi Liao, holding the youth’s buttocks, pushed open the bathroom door and they tumbled together onto the large bed.

“Mmm… Gege…” Mu Chi looked at Qi Liao with needy eyes.

But Qi Liao suddenly paused. He glanced at the slightly ajar main door and said in a low voice, “There’s someone outside.”

“?” Mu Chi was already blinded by lust. “Didn’t the livestream end?”

“Who knows? You know how the director is.” Qi Liao went to check.

He slipped on soft-soled slippers, which made almost no sound on the wooden floor. He walked to the door and suddenly yanked it open, catching the cameraman in the act, who was sneakily crouched by the wall trying to film through a crack.

The door swinging open startled the cameraman badly. The camera thudded to the ground.

Qi Liao crossed his arms and looked at him. “What are you doing?”

The cameraman made up an excuse: “The scenery here is too beautiful, the fans want to see. I’m just filming some ocean views.”

Qi Liao gave a mocking laugh. “Is the ocean view beautiful, or are other people’s private affairs beautiful?”

“…”

Qi Liao took a step forward, his 1.9-meter frame imposing and oppressive. “I’ll let it slide this time. If there’s a next time, I’ll sue ‘You Also Have This Day’ into bankruptcy, so the director can also experience what it means to ‘have his Day’.”

Director: “…”

Program Team: “…”

【Ah…】

【Hold on! If ‘You Also Have This Day’ goes bankrupt, we’ll crowdfund a new one!】

【Well… it’s true that spying on others’ private matters is immoral and illegal.】

【Actually, just knowing the Big Devil is doing naughty things with Mu Chi tonight is enough. No need to go so far and really piss off the Big Devil…】

In the program team, someone asked, “Director, what should we do?”

Director: “Withdraw.”

“What about the bonus?”

“Since everyone likes watching the beautiful night scenery, film more of that.”

“…” Truly not wasting a single penny, second only to a miser.

The cameraman gave an OK sign, picked up his camera, and went to film elsewhere.

The bungalow door closed firmly. Qi Liao turned back to look at the slightly startled youth and smiled. “They’re gone.”

Mu Chi was both embarrassed and angry. “What are they even trying to do?”

Qi Liao sat on the edge of the bed. “If this weren’t a dating show, I’d definitely punch the director.”

“Mm!”

Qi Liao leaned over, pressing down on him, and kissed Mu Chi’s soft, crimson lips. “Your mouth is swollen from my kissing.”

Mu Chi didn’t think so. He puckered his lips slightly. “Really?”

They both carried the same scent of coconut milk shower gel, a light, fresh fragrance, but on Mu Chi, it seemed to carry an extra layer of softness. Surrounded by this soft scent, Qi Liao gently kissed the soft lips, parting them; even the tongue inside was soft.

“Mu Chi, you’re so soft,” Qi Liao couldn’t help but say.

Mu Chi, dazed with passion, insisted firmly, “No, I’m very hard.”

Qi Liao laughed against his neck, his breath fanning over Mu Chi’s skin. Mu Chi, finding it ticklish, squirmed. “Really, see for yourself if you don’t believe me.”

Qi Liao’s eyes lowered, his brow slightly raised. His palm landed on the towel wrapped around Mu Chi. “It really is.”

Mu Chi let out a low moan. “Qi Liao…”

“Call me gege.”

Mu Chi felt intensely embarrassed, but the word still came out of his mouth: “Gege…”

Qi Liao curved his lips. “Gege will give you a lollipop to eat.”

“Where is it?”

Qi Liao produced the lollipop hidden within his towel. “It’s free. Eat as much as you want.”

Mu Chi had never seen such a large lollipop before. It was big and sweet, so sweet that it eventually turned slightly bitter, and his mouth felt a bit sore afterwards.

Qi Liao, whose face was usually like cold iron, was now unusually flushed. But seeing the youth red from head to toe, he didn’t feel so conspicuous himself. He picked up another lollipop; this one was slightly smaller but even sweeter.

The two ate their lollipops sweetly, resting when they got tired. Suddenly, they heard Xu Wuxing’s ghost-like howls from outside: “Brother Mu! Where are you? Qi Liao! Where are you?”

And Hao Wenrou’s calls: “Brother Mu, are you there?”

Mu Chi: “…”

Qi Liao held Mu Chi domineeringly. “Ignore them.”

Mu Chi listened quietly to the commotion outside. Sure enough, after Xu Wuxing and Hao Wenrou called out like they were summoning spirits for a while, Ying Xuan led them away.

Mu Chi breathed a sigh of relief. How could he face anyone in his current state?

Ten minutes later, just as Mu Chi was about to engage in another round with Qi Liao, they heard Lucas’s flirtatious laughter: “Hahahaha~ Mu Chi, Qi Liao, are you there? Come paddle a boat with us~”

Mu Chi: “…”

Qi Liao’s temple throbbed, a vein bulging from the strain of holding back.

Lucas: “Guan Yuzhen, you call them.”

Guan Yuzhen: “Mu Chi! It’s a rare chance to be here. It’s a pity not to go boating.”

Mu Chi clenched his fist.

“Isn’t this your little boat? Surely your love boat won’t capsize so easily.”

Mu Chi: “So annoying!”

Wrapping himself in a bathrobe, Mu Chi paced around the room. He picked up a vase, walked to the window, and indeed saw Lucas and Guan Yuzhen, that pair of disgusting men, paddling a boat on the sea, their leisurely posture and punch-worthy expressions—Mu Chi threw the vase at them.

“Ouch!” Lucas caught the vase and made a face. “Is this for me? Thanks.”

“Get lost,” Qi Liao appeared beside Mu Chi, his face dark.

Lucas: “Did I interrupt your fun? My apologies.”

“That apology lacks sincerity. If you’re truly sorry, jump into the sea.”

Lucas raised his hands in surrender. “Have mercy. I don’t want to be shark food.”

“Sharks generally don’t eat people, unless they’re very hungry. I believe the sharks here are all gentle and cute. If you do get eaten, I’ll mourn for you.”

“… Thanks, but I really don’t want to go into the sea.”

Qi Liao looked coldly at Guan Yuzhen. “What do you want?”

Guan Yuzhen held the oars. “I was just inviting you to paddle the boat together. If we disturbed you, I apologize.”

“You already have. Get lost.”

Guan Yuzhen smiled. “Can’t really ‘get lost’ on the sea. How about—”

*Boom! Whizz—Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!* Colorful fireworks exploded over the sea.

A helicopter flew through the fireworks, slowly descending until it was level with the bungalow. The cabin door opened, revealing President Lin, showcasing his elegance and charm, who called out clearly, “Mu Chi, would you like to come watch the sea fireworks with me?”

Mu Chi: “…”

Right now, Qi Liao wanted to blast everyone disturbing him and Mu Chi into fireworks.
