Part 2
Liu Xicháo’s face was gentle, belonging to the light-toned and delicate type, but it lacked distinctive features.
However, he was naturally lively, his eyes capable of conveying countless emotions. If he wanted to, he could perfectly replicate any kind of charm.
Jiang He didn’t get angry: “Yes, I’m getting old.”
The luxuriously decorated bedroom had a heater on in this season; the wall displayed the live stream of the variety show.
Yao Lixin was the first to be interviewed.
Liu Xicháo wasn’t interested in the man on the screen; he asked Jiang He: “If I’m getting old, should I find someone else for pleasure?”
Jiang He remained unmoved; the elder seemed certain of his choice: “Suit yourself.”
Liu Xicháo: “I’m leaving for a meeting tomorrow; can’t you be more proactive?”
Jiang He: “People should learn to be content.”
Liu Xicháo chuckled: “You’re counting on me going to participate in the variety show, so I have no place to cheat, right?”
Jiang He: “Shulu likes Tang Yue, Yao Lixin is married; if you want to cheat with the crew, you wouldn’t look at them, right?”
Liu Xicháo found it funny when he thought about it: “Tang Yue actually thinks I’m with Jiang Shulu. My god, even if I jumped off a cliff, I wouldn’t be with Jiang Shulu.”
Jiang He: “Isn’t my nephew good enough? The Jiang family will be his in the future; you love money so much; isn’t he the best choice?”
Liu Xicháo rolled his eyes: “I hate his type who needs to be healed; I’m already tired enough; he still has a bunch of problems at home.”
Jiang He laughed: “Don’t you always think Tang Yue isn’t suitable for him?”
Liu Xicháo: “He’s not suitable. Our Xiao Yue is so pure, but look at Jiang Shulu’s ability; he can take on the entire Jiang family; does Tang Yue need to worry?”
The male star, who was always amicable during interviews, was somewhat harsh in private: “Uncle, do you think I don’t know what you want?”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang; it was actually a phone call from the production team.
Now it was Tang Yue’s turn for a phone interview; the young man in the video held a list of questions, clearly including questions for Liu Xicháo.
Liu Xicháo: “Xiao Yue.”
Tang Yue held the paper, glanced at Jiang Shulu beside him, and found the question incredibly awkward, making it hard to even speak.
During Yao Lixin’s Q&A session, the questions were varied.
They covered work arrangements, love life, and impressions of the local customs.
He was eloquent, taking advantage of the live stream to boldly confess his love to his wife.
Because Tang Yue’s hesitation was too obvious, Jiang Shulu took the paper and asked for him—
“I heard that you, Liu Xicháo, finished filming; why didn’t you come over that night? Were you in a rush to have a date with the boss of Chengkong Media?”
The viewers in the live stream had just experienced Yao Lixin’s self-service dog food; they didn’t expect that Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu’s Q&A would be a double-person session, and the first question was so explosive.
Fortunately, it was only a phone call; otherwise, everyone would see Liu Xicháo, who always had a gentle smile in public, lying on Jiang He, heavily caressing him.
The boss of Chengkong Media sat lazily, seemingly indifferent to where Liu Xicháo touched him.
Tang Yue thought: Can you even ask this?
[Wow, teasing the boss’s wife! Deduct their wages!]
[It feels like the production team’s personal revenge hahaha!]
[Jiang Shulu asking the question won’t get his wages deducted; after all, he’s the president of the headquarters!]
[Tang Yue, why do you blush when you read every question? No, you were blushing in the kitchen just now; what did you say to Jiang Shulu?]
Liu Xicháo: “What else? You, Captain, have dates every day, but you don’t allow me and my boyfriend to end our long-distance relationship?”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to have inherited Yao Lixin’s straightforwardness, completely unaware of the information he was revealing, causing Jiang He to pinch him.
Liu Xicháo: “Uncle, don’t pinch me.”
Tang Yue felt like he should be under the table; it was really too suggestive.
Even though he had accepted the canon pairing of this book and broken it up, there was still a strange feeling.
He couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Shulu; the other was serene: “You envy me for having dates every day, can’t you?”
[Why is it this style?]
[What are you guys competing for!! Where did this competitive spirit come from, hilarious.]
[My impression of the Chengkong boss is that he’s frail; he seems to not have long to live; is this an older or younger relationship?]
[Wait!! Jiang Shulu admits to dating Tang Yue?? This variety show is definitely planned for romance.]
[Tang Yue’s expression looks like mine when I found out about my cp…wake up! Liu Xicháo and Jiang Shulu have never been good!]
[Uncle…so…it turns out Liu Xicháo likes older men; I remembered…sorry.]
[If Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu got together, would Tang Yue call Liu Xicháo Second Brother or Little Aunt? Or call Jiang He sister-in-law, Mais, that scene…]
[What are you arguing about? We still have to eat together during the New Year—family!]
Liu Xicháo: “Envious? He can hug Tang Yue every day and sleep with him; how good is that? Tang Yue didn’t like to sleep with me before.”
Tang Yue: “I’m not…my sleeping habits aren’t good, so…”
Liu Xicháo gasped: “So you’d rather cling to Yao Lixin? I’ll be jealous, oh.”
His words were clearly teasing; he even pulled Yao Lixin, who was playing on his phone, making Yao Lixin come over to retort: “Haven’t you slept with him? Don’t pretend; only the Captain hasn’t.”
[Heart-wrenching.]
[Top idol group captain’s daily life of being isolated.]
Liu Xicháo: “It’s okay; he can sleep with him now, right, Captain?”
His voice was full of laughter; he was clearly using teasing Jiang Shulu to flirt with Tang Yue, making Tang Yue blush, feeling like he had become vulgar.
He couldn’t help but reflect on himself.
Am I really just playing around?
