Chapter 61: “Teacher Xie, Open Your Mouth.”
Xie Shibai was rarely this speechless. Ever since knowing Lu Ciheng, speechlessness had practically been upgraded to his mother tongue.
Although camping the safe was despicable, there was only one Cat, while there were many Mice.
Mu Zhenzhen sneakily poked her head out from another window. She waved the torn map in her hand at Xie Shibai, silently conveying that they had a way to open the safe.
The task left for Xie Shibai was simple: just lure this despicable Cat away.
For other Mice, it might be difficult, but he was Xie Shibai.
Hook a finger, and Lu Ciheng would obediently take the bait.
Xie Shibai took a half-step back.
Lu Ciheng narrowed his eyes. “What’s wrong, Teacher Xie? Not moved by such a discount?”
Just thinking about Xie Shibai fulfilling three of his wishes, he was dying of excitement.
Xie Shibai couldn’t be bothered to say anything to Lu Ciheng. His method of luring the tiger from the mountain was simple. He unceremoniously reached out, grabbed Lu Ciheng’s choker, and took a step back.
Pulled by the tug, Lu Ciheng followed two steps forward. The corner blocked the safe, providing cover for the other two Mice.
Xie Shibai’s fingers ground against the leather choker, thinking it was a good item—very convenient for pulling Lu Ciheng away.
He lowered his voice. “Realize either none of the three wishes or only one. Choose for yourself.”
Either have one or have none. The greedy puppy gets nothing to eat.
Lu Ciheng liked the feeling of being restrained at the neck by Xie Shibai very much, thinking he would buy one to use for seduction when he got back.
Although he was very greedy, he also knew Xie Shibai’s personality. Being too greedy would result in getting no benefits at all in the end. Moreover, from beginning to end, he had only one goal.
Lu Ciheng covered both of their microphones. His tone was slow: “I just want to know what the one hundred percent is.”
Xie Shibai was stunned for a few seconds. He hadn’t expected that Lu Ciheng, so enthusiastic about fulfilling wishes, only wanted to know what 100% desensitization therapy was.
Lu Ciheng’s black eyes stared straight at Xie Shibai. “Is it kissing?”
Xie Shibai’s fingers suddenly tightened. Recalling the memory of brushing past Lu Ciheng’s lips, his breathing couldn’t help but pause.
Lu Ciheng’s lips hooked into a pleased smile. “If you don’t answer, I will follow this for the therapy next.”
Xie Shibai didn’t even have time to speak before he heard the production team’s broadcast announcing the end of the game.
Mu Zhenzhen’s speed at opening the safe was very fast. After Xie Shibai lured the tiger away, she climbed in through the window immediately. With the experience from the first time, the second time was unexpectedly quick. In two or three moves, she opened the safe and took the cat bell from inside.
Simultaneously, the production team announced the end of the game.
After announcing the winning team, the staff announced the “Easter Egg” segment. Everyone would receive a corresponding title based on their performance in the game.
The production team said, “Congratulations to Teacher Mi for obtaining the title ‘Longest Cat Containment’.”
Mi Qiran was a bit surprised. He glanced at Qiao Jiayi and scratched the back of his head. “Is it a bit of a waste to give this title to me? Maybe another teacher held them off longer than me? Didn’t Xingran also contain one for a long time?”
Qiao Jiayi swept a glance at him, her face turning a bit cold. “The production team gave it to you, why decline?”
Production Team: “Our judging criteria are very fair. Teacher Mi deserves it.”
Su Xingran waved his hand and smiled. “It definitely belongs to you, Brother Qiran. I just wandered around a few laps.”
Since participating in variety shows, this was the first time Mi Qiran had received something akin to a reward. In the past, he was used to yielding to those with higher status and fame, or sometimes even yielding to teammates younger than him. He was taught to be humble from a young age; suddenly having it be his turn felt very maladapted.
The production team continued to announce: “Congratulations to Teacher Mu for obtaining the title ‘Safe Killer’, successfully obtaining two cat bells.”
Xu Xiangming immediately applauded.
Mu Zhenzhen joked, “Thank you for the applause, everyone.”
Production Team: “Finally, congratulations to Teacher Xie for obtaining the title ‘Survival Expert’, becoming the person with the most captures and escapes in this game.”
[Most captures, laughing to death hahahaha.] [Counting it up, it really is a lot. Once in the restaurant, later in the cabinet, running from the cabinet and getting caught back once, and luring the tiger away counts as one too.] [Dare not imagine that Dog Lu actually got off four times.] [Be bolder. He’s been secretly getting off since he drew the Cat role.] [Who dares to think that a month ago he was still a cool guy?] [Dog Lu fans still haven’t made peace with it?] [Don’t mention it. Brother Xie’s fans haven’t made peace either. My entertainment industry white moonlight.] [CP fans popping up: Hee hee.] [Have to say, I watched it with great satisfaction too…] [Me too ahhh! Wishing they would do it big time!] [Don’t know if I can say this, but I feel like they are the type to fight in bed—in a certain sense.] [If they do it hard, Teacher Xie will unilaterally slap Dog Lu. Plus Dog Lu’s stamina is too good; is Teacher Xie’s waist okay?] [Maybe he gets done until he doesn’t even have the strength to slap (slurp).] [I have a friend who wants to see (Yellow Heart).]
Mu Zhenzhen looked at Xie Shibai, stifling a laugh. “Teacher Xie has worked hard.”
Xie Shibai: “……”
He didn’t really want this title.
Li Lechi couldn’t help asking, “Did you two really catch people?”
Everyone sounded like they were throwing the game. So what did his walking nearly twenty thousand steps in one game count for?
Qiao Jiayi still looked cold-faced. “Why ask me? Ask Senior Lu.”
Lu Ciheng was in a pleasant mood, glorious even in defeat. “Of course. I caught him four times. You worked so hard, how come you didn’t catch anyone even once?”
Li Lechi: “…You caught someone four times and no Mouse was injured?”
He had a sixth sense that the “caught four times” Lu Ciheng mentioned was actually just catching Xie Shibai four times.
[Why is Dog Lu so happy?] [Caught his wife four times and let him go, plus kissed his wife several times. Can he not be happy?] [Others played Cat and Mouse; these two played ‘Little Couple Match-Up’. Can he not be happy?] [The whole game, only LLC was catching people hahahahaha.] [Originally thought Qiao Jiayi would also catch people. Didn’t expect she played it into a couple’s game too.]
“What do you think?”
Lu Ciheng looked at him with pity, as if saying no wonder you don’t have a wife, faintly showing off that he had one.
Li Lechi: “……”
“Is this game really fair?”
Although he had come thinking that even if he couldn’t chase the person down, he would disgust Lu Ciheng, how come after arriving, he had endless dog food to eat?
acting like this, will Lu Ciheng really not get beaten up?
Su Xingran wanted to ask too. “I want to ask as well, is this game really fair?”
He had only stayed with Xie Shibai for less than ten minutes; the rest almost turned into a marathon. Why does Lu Ciheng get to be so happy!
[Originally thought it was Beagle War vs. Chihuahua. Turns out it’s the Chihuahuas infighting.] [This round, the evil little Beagle wins completely.] [Fair da, fair da. Look, Dog Lu has Teacher Xie, and you two have each other as teammates. It’s all two-on-two, very fair.] [Person above, advised to delete. They will have a breakdown.]
After the game ended, the four groups returned to the hut under the production team’s arrangement.
Perhaps the Cat and Mouse game consumed too much stamina; no one had the energy to talk on the bus. Upon returning to the hut, they bade each other goodnight early to rest.
After Xie Shibai finished his solo interview, he returned to the room and found Lu Ciheng was showering. He reached out to touch the Potato Puppy that came rubbing over, noticing the puppy was still wearing a camera.
Bobby accepted the camera well, wagging his tail and rubbing against Xie Shibai’s hand.
Xie Shibai worried the camera would affect Bobby’s rest, so he helped take it off the puppy and placed it casually on the cabinet.
The next second, the bathroom door opened. Footsteps approached Xie Shibai rapidly with a clear destination, carrying intense moisture.
Xie Shibai hesitated for a few seconds. Turning his head, his back was caught off guard and pressed against the wall. A hand cupped the back of his head to prevent him from bumping it. His waist was pinched by a hand that, even through clothes, fit perfectly into his waist dimples.
Lu Ciheng wasn’t wearing a shirt, frankly revealing perfect, firm muscles. The overly close distance meant that even breathing lightly, Xie Shibai could smell the moisture on Lu Ciheng, as well as the scorching, aggressive aura rolling beneath the water vapor.
Xie Shibai’s hands had nowhere to place. The muscles on the person opposite seemed to burn his hands; brief contact felt like a branding iron, the high temperature eroding him inch by inch.
Lu Ciheng’s eyes hid darkness. He pressed close to Xie Shibai like every desensitization therapy session—hugging first to familiarize the contact, then gradually touching the arms, as if signaling Xie Shibai what would happen next.
Xie Shibai’s breath hitched. Remembering the camera on the cabinet and worried Lu Ciheng would say something that exposed their plastic marriage, he ignored whether Lu Ciheng was wearing clothes or not. He pushed forcefully, trying to shove the person away, attempting to escape their current posture. “Wait a moment…”
Lu Ciheng narrowed his eyes. One hand buckled Xie Shibai’s arm, forcibly pulling him back. His arm exerted force to pin Xie Shibai against the wall, his knee squeezing between his legs, his movements full of controlling desire. “Teacher Xie, are you running away?”
Xie Shibai’s waist was being pinched hard. Gritting his teeth, he wished he could give Lu Ciheng a slap. He didn’t understand how this crazy habit of pinning people against the wall at the drop of a hat was formed.
“The camera is on!”
Lu Ciheng paused. Following Xie Shibai’s gaze, he discovered the puppy-worn camera on the cabinet.
[It’s over, discovered, sisters.] [Sigh, sure enough, can’t see anything today either.] [As expected, in private they are just like in the game hehe. Teacher Xie even sat on Dog Lu before. Do they often do the ‘ride’ position hehehe.] [Dog Lu’s life is so good!] [No no no, riding is easier to control, right? As deep as you want. Feel like Teacher Xie is quite dominant sometimes too (Queenly as hell when pulling Dog Lu’s choker. Feel like he would definitely like it (Slurp).] [Then wouldn’t it be that if he gets tired from doing it, when his legs shake and lose strength, he’ll sit all the way to the bottom at once? His belly would get bumped until it bulges (Yellow Heart).] [As expected of netizens, you really can talk. Say more!]
Lu Ciheng raised an eyebrow slightly. Reaching out, he turned the camera around. Hooking his lips, he whispered, “Teacher Xie, let’s begin.”
“Begin what?” Xie Shibai paused for a few seconds, his fingers clutching Lu Ciheng’s arm tightly. “There’s still ninety percent.”
Lu Ciheng turned his head, his laughing voice gentle and slow. “Teacher Xie has already adapted to ninety percent.”
Xie Shibai stalled for a few seconds, remembering the hand against the back of his head.
Lu Ciheng lowered his eyes and leaned close, his eyes hiding excitement. His fingers lightly ground against Xie Shibai’s jaw. Staring at the full, beautiful lips, his Adam’s apple rolled. “Next is one hundred percent.”
Breath swept over Xie Shibai’s beautiful, full lips, close at hand.
Xie Shibai pursed his lips. The breath came closer and closer to him. A large palm forcibly pinched his chin. When the thin lips pressed against his, it was no different from the previous two accidental bumps—until Lu Ciheng forcefully ground against the seam of his lips, licking wetly, with such force it seemed he wanted to pry open his mouth and burrow inside.
Lu Ciheng’s eyes hid intense excitement, his tone containing huskiness: “Teacher Xie, open your mouth.”
