Xie Li’s expression suddenly stiffened.
After a brief moment of awkwardness, he laughed and said, “I just saw you working hard here and wanted to help. Shen Yan is busy playing games and doesn’t have much time.”
『Oh my god, I’m one of Xie Li’s fans, but even I can smell the strong tea scent.』
『Li Bao is just genuinely warm-hearted. Someone gets praised for playing games instead of helping, but someone who wants to help gets called tea? Ridiculous!』
『Then I can only wish you a life full of warm-hearted people like Xie Li!』
Pei Heng put down the half-washed vegetable leaves and turned to look at Xie Li.
Xie Li knew what his advantage was.
He blinked his big eyes, with a hint of playful cuteness. “I’m really good at washing vegetables. I promise to get them perfectly clean.”
Pei Heng said, “All the ingredients for our group were found by Shen Yan. Some were found by Shen Yan stepping on my shoulders from the flower trellis, some were found by Shen Yan crawling through a dog hole. He put in a lot of hard work.
“As for him playing games now, it’s only because I didn’t want everyone to call me a freeloader. I begged him to go play.”
『What is Pei Heng doing? Oh my god! He’s fiercely protecting his man! Holy crap! So sweet!』
『I declare! The Jury is the sweetest! No rebuttals accepted!』
『The Jury? Hahahaha, that works! Pei Shen Group!』
『Pei Heng is so nasty. Li Bao is so well-behaved. Why is he so hostile?』
『Because President Pei doesn’t like drinking tea! Hahahaha! Drive you crazy!』
Amid the jubilant bullet comments, Xie Li looked at Pei Heng with shock and hurt.
Pei Heng actually showed him no face in front of the camera like this.
Shen Yan must have said a lot of bad things about him.
Xie Li’s face showed embarrassed grievance. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to help, but unfortunately I’m not good with words. I didn’t expect to make President Pei angry. I apologize.”
Usually, when he said that, the other person would give him an out.
Pei Heng was also very considerate.
“Then don’t talk from now on, so you won’t expose the flaw of being bad with words.”
『Hahahaha, great idea!』
『Xie Li himself said he’s bad with words. President Pei was just following his words to give him a sincere suggestion. Xie Li’s fans, don’t get upset. Getting upset is ugly!』
『Lu Xingchuan, what are you doing? Xie Li is being bullied! Ahhh, I’m so angry!』
As the bullet comments raged, Lu Xingchuan sat down next to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was just reaching a critical point in the game.
Lu Xingchuan reached out and pulled the game console out of Shen Yan’s hand. “Can we talk?”
Shen Yan was completely stunned.
He looked at Lu Xingchuan angrily. “Give it back.”
Holding the game console, Lu Xingchuan’s voice was cold and full of disgust. He turned off his mic and warned Shen Yan, “We’re recording a show together. I don’t want to make things ugly, but you need to stop.
“Do you really think that by saying a few bad things about me and Little Li in front of Pei Heng, you’ll achieve anything?
“Paper can’t wrap fire! Be careful you don’t play with fire and get burned.”
Shen Yan: …
He swung his crossed leg and kicked it right at Lu Xingchuan’s face.
“Lu Xingchuan, do you think I’m giving you too much face?”
In a flash, just as Lu Xingchuan was caught off guard and stumbled backward from the kick, falling toward the sofa, Shen Yan grabbed a throw pillow and slammed it onto Lu Xingchuan’s face.
“Snatch my game console? I’ll smother you!”
Shen Yan, over 180 cm tall, straddled Lu Xingchuan and pressed the pillow firmly against his face.
Lu Xingchuan felt like he was back in the car again.
Reliving that suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe.
He struggled desperately.
The staff members were so frightened that they quickly called for the director.
The director was eating instant noodles. Hearing this, he hurriedly put down his cup noodles and rushed over.
“Shen Yan, what are you doing? Let him go!”
The director was terrified that Lu Xingchuan might suddenly stop moving while struggling!
He was just filming a dating variety show.
Was it that easy?
The commotion from the director’s shouting alarmed the four people in the kitchen.
Pei Heng was the first to rush out.
Seeing Shen Yan straddling Lu Xingchuan, he frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”
Xie Li followed behind Pei Heng, looking shocked. “Shen Yan, what are you doing? You’ll smother Brother Xingchuan like this. Whatever it is, talk it out.”
Song Qianshan shot a cold glance at Xie Li but said nothing.
Bai Jing anxiously asked, “What did he do to you this time?”
Shen Yan ignored everyone.
Pressing down on Lu Xingchuan, he fumed, “Do you still dare to snatch my game console? Talk! Do you dare or not? If you don’t say anything, that means you still dare. Watch me smother you!”
Lu Xingchuan: …
Ahhh!
Let me go first!
Only then can I speak!
In the chaos, Pei Heng finally stepped forward and pulled Shen Yan off Lu Xingchuan in one arm.
Shen Yan had been straddling Lu Xingchuan. Caught off guard by Pei Heng’s embrace, his legs, which hadn’t had time to land, directly wrapped around Pei Heng’s waist.
『Holy shit, that hug is so hot!』
『President Pei is really strong!』
『Ahhh, I already have the imagery. My panties have flown away!』
『The Jury! Just do it!』
『What a bunch of trash you all are. Shen Yan is trying to murder a guest on the show, and you’re all tossing around smut here? Birds of a feather flock together, indeed.』
Lu Xingchuan finally caught his breath.
Enraged and embarrassed, he threw off the pillow on his face, jumped up, and pointed at Shen Yan. “Are you out of your mind? Are you a rabid dog…”
His furious curses came out before he could see clearly that Shen Yan was being held by Pei Heng.
Meeting Pei Heng’s cold gaze, Lu Xingchuan paused.
His anger still flaring, he said, “He almost smothered me.”
Pei Heng shot a chilly look at Lu Xingchuan, then noticed Shen Yan wasn’t wearing shoes. He set him down on the nearby sofa and asked, “What exactly happened?”
Shen Yan stood on the sofa, hands on his hips, and tattled, “I was playing games just fine, and he came over and suddenly snatched my game console.”
Lu Xingchuan angrily said, “I just wanted to talk to you.”
Shen Yan looked utterly incredulous. “What kind of talk requires you to condescendingly snatch my game console without my permission? Did you want to beg me for some food? Don’t dream! Not a bite!”
Lu Xingchuan almost died of anger.
Playing dumb, huh.
“Who wants that!”
“You’d better not!” Shen Yan glared at him fiercely, then turned to Pei Heng and said, “I played fifteen times and still didn’t pass. I was about to pass just now.”
Pei Heng ruffled his hair. “Yeah, I’ll help you beat it later. Let’s go eat first. It’s ready.”
『Oh my god, Pei Heng is so doting!』
『Pei Heng’s voice is killing me!』
『Why did they start fighting? Both their mics were off just now, so we couldn’t hear the reason, but Lu Xingchuan did suddenly take Shen Yan’s game console.』
『Find a level 10 lip reader to analyze it frame by frame.』
『It must be because Shen Yan bullied Xie Li, so Lu Xingchuan came to get justice for Xie Li.』
『Everyone in the livestream room can see. You can’t just make up things without evidence. Tell me which part Shen Yan bullied Xie Li? Truly, just one picture and you make up the whole story, huh.』
『No matter the reason, Shen Yan’s style of fighting back is so cool. I like it!』
