As soon as the live broadcast opened, she immediately asked in the comments: “Get to work, Xia fans, CP fans, where is Wen Rong? Report the location! Quick!”

With this sentence, the comments section immediately flooded with messages.

[They are currently resting by the Swan Lake. It seems they won’t be moving for a while. Xia Bao, go for it!]

[Wow, a few days ago, I felt that Xia Bao was wronged by Wen Rong and disliked Wen Rong. Unexpectedly, I feel quite good helping Xia Bao chase her wife now.]

[You people before me don’t understand, this feeling of helping your daughter chase her wife is unparalleled.]

[Sister Lin Yu truly lives up to her title as a ten-year mother fan, she gets things done!]

[You exit from the South Gate of the ancient town, drive to the North Gate of the wetland park, walk through a long pavilion, and you’ll see Wen Rong and them. There’s also a small store next to them, easy to find.]

Lin Yu’s actions stunned Xia Weige. She glanced at the camera director behind her, who didn’t seem to stop them either.

With Wen Rong’s location secured, Lin Yu immediately had the sightseeing boat dock, pulled Xia Weige into a car, and rushed straight to the destination.

Xia Weige watched the scenery rushing past the car window. The warm sunlight gently caressed her through the glass. She finally realized she was actually going to see Wen Rong.

Her heart, which had been numb and cold all day, seemed to have resumed beating with anticipation at this moment.

She lowered her gaze, trying to hide her emotions.

But she couldn’t suppress this joyful feeling overflowing from within.

As the fans in the comments said, Wen Rong’s location was easy to find.

Entering from the North Gate of the wetland park and passing through the long pavilion, both sides of the pavilion were planted with golden-striped reeds. The ribbon-like leaves shone with golden stripes, standing next to the dark brown, ancient-style long pavilion, extending all the way to the riverbank.

It was called a riverbank, but it was actually a lake. However, the entrance was not closed off; a small path was opened, and the water flow extended all the way, converging into a river tens of meters wide.

This river should be the same one as the ancient town’s, spanning almost the entire city.

An ancient town was built on that side, while a wetland park was built on this side.

There were several elegant white swans leisurely playing in the lake, proudly raising their necks.

Their graceful and beautiful figures made the surrounding tourists linger.

Wen Rong was sitting on a long bench by the lake. Gao Yan was turned sideways, talking to her. Wen Rong’s gentle demeanor and focused listening manner would make many people feel valued by her.

However, Wen Rong truly did listen carefully when others spoke. Xia Weige watched from afar and couldn’t help but smile.

“Xia Bao, you are truly done for,” Lin Yu sighed helplessly, seeing Xia Weige’s state.

She urged Xia Weige to hurry over, “Don’t let that Gao Yan benefit. He likes Ms. Wen’s type. He’s probably completely infatuated now. Xia Bao, go for it!”

No man can break up the CP I ship!

Xia Weige took two steps forward following Lin Yu’s urging. With the first step, her legs were forced into motion, and walking forward seemed less difficult.

Xia Weige clenched her hand and slowly approached Wen Rong.

Gao Yan seemed to have told a joke that made Wen Rong laugh.

She raised her hand, slightly covering her lips with the back of her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed, laughing particularly happily.

The autumn wind blew, and the golden reeds by the roadside rippled like waves. In Xia Weige’s eyes, Wen Rong’s face seemed to be plated with a layer of orange light, gentle and graceful.

Xia Weige’s heartbeat pounded in her ears again. She moved closer. At this moment, Wen Rong seemed to sense her presence, stopped smiling, and looked in Xia Weige’s direction.

Xia Weige felt as if she had been struck by something, and a surge of emotions poured out.

Her throat choked up, and her eyes even became slightly blurry.

She could no longer endure it and quickly walked over to Wen Rong.

She stared at Wen Rong but suddenly couldn’t speak.

It was Wen Rong who stood up, reached out, and lifted Xia Weige’s chin, quietly examining her for a moment, then slowly asked, “Did you take your medicine properly today?”

The caring tone was so natural, as if their argument from yesterday had never happened.

Xia Weige felt a little deflated, unhappy with Wen Rong’s overly calm demeanor, as if she were the only one who was struggling and suffering.

But she still nodded obediently, indicating that she had taken her medicine properly.

As she spoke, she reached out and took away Wen Rong’s fingers that were resting on her chin. Xia Weige originally just wanted to get away from Wen Rong’s hand, but after grasping it, she became greedy and didn’t want to let go.

She pursed her lips, nervously tightening her grip, and guiltily turned her head to greet Gao Yan.

Wen Rong, being held by Xia Weige, naturally felt the change in the other person.

Her eyes slightly lowered, her gaze sweeping over their entwined hands, and she did not break free.

Lin Yu, who was a little behind, walked over, looped her arm through Xia Weige’s, and whispered close to her, “Xia Bao, watch me. I’ll test her out.”

As she spoke, Lin Yu glanced at Wen Rong. When Wen Rong returned a friendly smile, Lin Yu “smack” kissed Xia Weige on the cheek.

It sounded like a kiss, but it was just a slight brush. Lin Yu exaggerated the sound effects herself, then looked at Wen Rong with a smile under the shocked gazes of Xia Weige and Gao Yan.

Xia Weige also realized what Lin Yu was trying to do. She shook her head with a wry smile, knowing in her heart that Wen Rong wouldn’t fall for this trick.

Sure enough, Wen Rong didn’t show any emotional change as Lin Yu expected. Instead, she broke free from Xia Weige’s grip, met Lin Yu’s gaze, and gently touched her own lips with her finger. Her eyes met Lin Yu’s as she smiled calmly and softly reminded her, “Miss Lin, your lipstick is smudged.”

Lin Yu was stunned and quickly pulled out her phone to check. Just a slight rub on Xia Weige’s face had not only taken off a patch on her lips but also smeared a bit outside.

Lin Yu was exhausted. She hadn’t brought any lipstick with her today. Just as she was about to ask if anyone had a tissue, Wen Rong handed one over.

Lin Yu took it a little awkwardly. Unexpectedly, Wen Rong didn’t stop there. She even took out her own lipstick and offered to help her reapply the color.

Lin Yu was so taken aback by Wen Rong’s actions that she froze in place and subconsciously nodded. The next moment, she saw Wen Rong leaning closer to her.

A fresh and mild scent wafted around Lin Yu’s nose. She couldn’t distinguish the perfume, but it smelled very nice, making her feel instantly relaxed.

But the next moment, when Wen Rong dipped her little finger in lipstick, gently held her chin with the other hand, lowered her head slightly, and smiled as she applied the lipstick to her lips, Lin Yu genuinely collapsed.

Her heart was pounding violently and uncontrollably. Her heavy makeup could barely hide her blushing face.

Wen Rong’s focused gaze was fixed on her lips. Her delicate features were right in front of her. Lin Yu could clearly feel the other party’s gentle movements on her lips, as if she were a treasured item being carefully treated.

“Done,” Wen Rong’s clear and gentle voice finally rang in her ears.

Lin Yu quickly stepped back half a pace, covering her mouth and completely quieting down.

She closed her eyes, utterly devastated.

Xia Bao! Your mom has sinned!

Don’t blame your mom for being weak!

Your wife’s level is too high!

[I’m going to die laughing, hahahaha, Sister Lin Yu, don’t blush! You’re a mother fan, and Xia Bao’s wife is your daughter too!!!]

[Lin Yu: I’m just going to show you my love transforming right here and now.]

[A ten-year mother fan can’t be corrupted! Wake up!]

[Sister Lin Yu just wanted to seize the chance to kiss her idol, how did she end up as the idol’s wife’s toy?]

[You suffered, Sister Lin Yu, you truly suffered!]

[Ahhh, I want Wen Rong to apply lipstick for me too! She’s so good at it!]

[I want to see her apply it to Xia Xia, preferably all over her body…]

[The person before me, reported! Stop thinking about un-broadcastable content! The most important thing is that my Xia Bao is the Gong (Top)!]

[Xia Xia, being casually lifted by the chin by Wen Rong, doesn’t look like a top at all.]

[What, have we entered the stage of assigning roles (top/bottom)?]

[Lin Yu: Seriously, is no one going to care about me?]

Due to the arrival of Xia Weige and Lin Yu, the two-person date turned into a foursome.

Lin Yu suggested they all go grocery shopping to buy some food, and she and Gao Yan would cook a meal tonight.

Xia Weige and Wen Rong naturally had no objections.

The four arrived at the supermarket. Lin Yu headed straight for the meat section, and Xia Weige, who wanted to buy a few things, went off on her own.

However, because their trip to the supermarket was spontaneous, the production team hadn’t scouted the location beforehand and reacted slowly, underestimating the popularity of top idol Xia Weige.

Many people recognized the supermarket they were in. Even though the fan club had been calling on everyone not to disturb Xia Weige’s filming, frantic fans still tracked her down.

Previous smooth filming sessions were thanks to the team having scouted the locations and having security guards present. This time, they couldn’t react in time, and Xia Weige was immediately blocked by several fans.

These people were clearly targeting Xia Weige. Xia Weige good-naturedly took them aside to sign autographs for all of them, but they were still relentless. Some even grabbed Xia Weige’s arm and wouldn’t let go.

Passersby also started gathering to watch their strange behavior. Wen Rong noticed the commotion and, seeing Xia Weige’s distressed expression, wanted to go in and help.

However, Xia Weige also immediately noticed her, frantically shaking her head to signal Wen Rong not to come over.

Someone had tightly gripped her arm. The spot where she was grabbed started to hurt. The person was using great force, and the more she struggled, the firmer the grip became.

She already knew these were not ordinary fans, but likely sasaeng fans (stalker fans), and they wouldn’t let go just because she asked politely. Therefore, she didn’t want Wen Rong to come over in case these people did something even worse.

But Wen Rong only paused for a second at Xia Weige’s rejection, then walked toward Xia Weige without hesitation.

Xia Weige became anxious, and her struggle intensified. This prompted a fan next to her to reach out and hold her down.

That person pressed firmly on Xia Weige’s neck and tugged at her collar, forcing Xia Weige to lower her head and desperately clutch her own neckline.

Anger flashed in her eyes. Unable to maintain her amiable composure, she reached out and slapped away the hand that was tugging her collar.

And sharply admonished, “Don’t touch me!”

These words seemed to dissolve the last bit of restraint the group had. Their fervent expressions now carried a hint of ruthlessness.

“Xia Xia, how can you say that? We are all your fans.”

“Xia Xia, we came all this way just to see you.”

“Xia Xia, do you know how much we’ve sacrificed for you? We only love you.”

Xia Weige was surrounded by these voices, with over a dozen people trying to touch her.

She was ultimately frightened, her face instantly turning pale, and a sense of suffocation rushed to her brain.

She was completely helpless, frantically looking up for Wen Rong’s figure, only to find that the other person was already close by. Xia Weige was like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline, desperately struggling to get closer to Wen Rong.

Completely forgetting her firm refusal to Wen Rong moments before.

Xia Weige managed to stretch out her hand, bypassing the people in front of her, and her fingers brushed against Wen Rong’s hand, which was also reaching out to her.

Wen Rong grabbed her and, without hesitation, immediately pulled Xia Weige toward herself.

However, several people were holding onto Xia Weige’s clothes. Fearing she might injure her, Wen Rong simply released her grip and pressed close to Xia Weige instead.

She used her own body to shield Xia Weige from the crowd.

But Wen Rong hadn’t just walked over foolishly; she had been shouting for the production team to bring people over. The production team, having failed to react immediately when Xia Weige was surrounded, was already being fiercely criticized in the live stream. As Wen Rong shouted, the camera director immediately rushed over.

Almost instantly, those fervent fans were pulled away and stopped by the production team staff.

They kept shouting “Xia Xia.” Xia Weige closed her eyes, still shaken.

After waiting a while and calming down, she realized she was very, very close to Wen Rong.

She was almost pressing against Wen Rong’s cheek. Wen Rong’s arm was wrapped around her in a distinctly protective posture.

Xia Weige lowered her eyes, looking at Wen Rong’s arm loosely covering her waist. She bit her lip, then reached out and deliberately pressed Wen Rong’s palm onto her own waist.

The sensitive area being touched by Wen Rong made Xia Weige’s body tremble slightly. She was rigid but refused to let Wen Rong pull away.

Wen Rong’s palm was slightly cool, penetrating through her clothes to her skin.

It sent a tingling sensation throughout Xia Weige’s body.

She could feel Wen Rong’s gaze on her, but she dared not look up. Her entire neck was flushed crimson, exposed completely to Wen Rong’s view.

The production team comforted Xia Weige, communicated with the supermarket, and then asked the four to return to the cabin.

Lin Yu and Gao Yan had been far away and only learned about the incident later. They were both concerned about Xia Weige, especially Lin Yu, who, as a fan of Xia Weige, thoroughly detested sasaeng fans.

The four returned to the cabin. Lin Yu and Gao Yan started cooking first. Xia Weige changed clothes in her room and came out, coincidentally meeting Wen Rong who was leaving her room.

She felt a bit embarrassed about how proactively she had let Wen Rong embrace her earlier, and more importantly, that Wen Rong hadn’t refused.

Lin Yu’s words echoed in her mind: “Wen Rong still has feelings for her.”

Xia Weige regretted that at the hospital, when Wen Rong called out to her, Wen Rong clearly had something to say, but she had refused to listen.

Xia Weige sighed internally.

She greeted Wen Rong, thinking the other person was going to the kitchen with her. Judging by the time, Lin Yu and Gao Yan must have started cooking, and she thought she could help.

After only two steps, Wen Rong called out to her.

“Wait a moment,” Wen Rong said, adding, “I’m going to grab something, wait a bit.”

Xia Weige turned around and watched Wen Rong turn and go back into her own room. A moment later, she came out with three beautifully packaged gift boxes.

“Gifts for you,” Wen Rong smiled, handing one of the boxes to Xia Weige.

It was then that Xia Weige realized it. She had seen Wen Rong buying gifts earlier and thought she was only giving them to the newcomers, Lin Yu and Gao Yan. She didn’t expect one for herself.

Xia Weige took it. It felt a little heavy. She blinked, very curious about what was inside.

Wen Rong smiled slightly at her expression and said helplessly, “Open it in your room. I didn’t prepare any for the others.”

Xia Weige loved hearing this even more—she only bought gifts for the newcomers and her.

Xia Weige squinted happily, shot Wen Rong a look, and hugged the gift as she returned to her room to open it.

Wen Rong smiled and let her go.

Xia Weige carefully unwrapped the gift. Inside was a set of glass handmade crafts, exquisitely made.

She was wondering when Wen Rong had bought them, but the fans in the comments who knew about the gift were all going wild.

[OMG! Isn’t this! Isn’t this! Isn’t this the one Wen Rong made herself before?!]

[The gift for the date invitation, right!!!]

[Ahhh! I knew it! She spent a long time making the gift but refused to send it then! She was waiting for this!]

[What Wen Rong said at the time was “I don’t have anyone I want to invite,” but she never said she wouldn’t accept someone else’s invitation! She was so sure Xia Xia would invite her!]

[Ahhh, I’m shipping them so hard (kswl)]

[Yes, this gift isn’t a tool for an invitation, but a gift I painstakingly prepared just for you. God, Wen Rong, you are too good!]

[But her dedication is still only for Xia Xia! Please get back together, I beg you.]

[Lin Yu: Hey, hey, hey, am I not a person? Ms. Wen applied lipstick for me!]

[Right! Sister Lin Yu must recognize this gift! Hurry to Xia Bao’s room and tell Xia Bao the origin of this gift!]

Xia Weige couldn’t see the comments and didn’t know the specialty of this gift, but for her, because it was from Wen Rong, it was already very special.

She took out all the crafts and carefully placed them in the most conspicuous spot on her desk.

She could see them at a glance, even when lying in bed.
