When she saw that everyone was watching them, Qiao Moyu blinked her big eyes and whispered to Ye Peicheng, "Big brother Ye, won't I be too heavy for you?"
Ye Peicheng helplessly replied, "You won't be."
Qiao Moyu was relieved as she stepped forward. She leaned towards him as she got on his back, then rested her upper body on Ye Peicheng's back while her arms were wrapped around his neck.
A person walking behind the two of them suddenly gasped.
As that person inhaled a sharp breath of air, Ye Peicheng helped Qiao Moyu onto his back and stood up.
The comment section of the program's live stream was in a frenzy once again. At this moment, the username [Cheng x Yu couple's super fan] was posting unusual comments across the screen.
However, because he was an elite 'monarch ranked' fan, his on-screen comments were much bigger, bolder, and eye-catching, especially since the font was in gold. They shone brightly on the screen, while saying random things like:
Good!"
"Zhu Bajie?"
(T/N: Zhu Bajie is a character in Journey to the West (西游记). He has pig-like characteristics and armed with a muck-rake.)
"Is he carrying his wife?"
REPORT THIS AD"Come back home!"
The other fans laughed when they saw these comments. Below [Chen x Yu couple's super fan]'s comment, the other fans commented, "Local tyrant, do you usually not type?"
"Suddenly, I feel like this local tyrant is super cute. I'm looking forward to his participation in the program's next recording!"
"However, why did the local tyrant call my family's Film Emperor husband, 'Zhu Bajie'? My family's husband is super handsome!"
"The local tyrant must've been too excited to think of other adjectives to describe him. But it's fine if we understand his meaning, after all, I'm still waiting for my male god to take little Moyu home!"
"That's so sweet! I'm also waiting..."
...
Presently, Ye Peicheng had already carried Qiao Moyu for about a dozen meters.
In the beginning, Qiao Moyu was afraid that she would fall because Ye Peicheng wouldn't be able to carry her. Now, she carefreely put her hands on Ye Peicheng's shoulders. Her fingertips slightly swayed just like how it moved when she had climbed the mountain. Her fingertips occasionally brushed against his chest as she swayed them. Every time she accidentally touched his chest, his muscles tensed up.
After the seventh to eighth time, she asked him, "Big brother Ye, is it because I'm heavy?"
Her voice was very soft because she was lying on his back and when she spoke, her breath fell on the back of his neck. Ye Peicheng felt that her breath sent tiny electric sparks down his neck. Even though it was just a tiny electric spark, it felt wonderful. When the tiny electric spark hit his neck and spread throughout his body, his entire body felt excited from the electricity.
REPORT THIS ADYe Peicheng's breathing became somewhat labored and his voice was much lower than usual. His voice sounded like it was going to easily disperse when a wind comes blowing as he replied, "No."
Qiao Moyu found out that the man in front of her may look thin, but he had a broad back. The scent around his body was clean and pure. That kind of relaxing smell unexpectedly made Qiao Moyu very sleepy.
She yawned and her voice was even softer than before, "Big brother Ye, thank you for giving me a piggyback ride. Once we've returned to the hotel, I will cook anything you want to eat."
Ye Peicheng's lips curved into a smile as he replied, "Okay."
Qiao Ruohuan initially walked ahead of everyone in the group. All this time, she had been conversing with the host about issues with the camera recordings, and thus, unknowingly fell to the back of the group as time went by.
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Xing Yichen was actually less than two meters away from her. He had one hand in his pocket while his eyes looked straight ahead. To be precise, he was looking at Qiao Moyu.
After she saw who he was looking at, the fire that Qiao Ruohuan had tried to suppress in her heart was suddenly reignited with even more fuel.
She deliberately walked next to Xing Yichen's side to get closer to him. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly sensed that the man beside her seemed annoyed. She followed Xing Yichen's line of sight and noticed that Qiao Moyu's head was resting on one of Ye Peicheng's shoulders; she appears to be asleep.
'Is he jealous? He is jealous of Qiao Moyu and Ye Peicheng's relationship?'
Qiao Ruohuan couldn't describe the disbelief and the sudden burst of panic from her heart. She turned her head and without any hesitation, began to observe the man next to her.
Xing Yichen still looked in Qiao Moyu's direction. It was difficult to see the expression on his face under the moonlight.
The man didn't notice Qiao Ruohuan beside him until she had tripped over something and made a sound. Only then did Xing Yichen turn around.
In that short period of time, Qiao Ruohuan had clearly seen the surprised expression on Xing Yichen's face. Even though his surprise was quickly replaced by other emotions, it was still incomparably harsh to her eyes.
It turned out that he really didn't notice how all this time, she had been next to him!
When Xing Yichen saw Qiao Ruohuan, he realized that he hadn't paid her any attention today.
He turned around to look at Qiao Moyu who was peacefully sleeping on Ye Peicheng's back. Seeing that scene made his agitation rise to the extreme as he kicked the dirt on the meadow in front of him. Xing Yichen was just about to quickly walk forward when he saw something flash by his eyes.
He subconsciously turned his head and noticed the wristwatch that Qiao Ruohuan was wearing. Just a moment ago, it was the wristwatch that had reflected the moonlight and flashed a ray of light before him.
After he saw the wristwatch. he can't help but think of the scar under the watch. The fire in his heart was gradually smothered by the feelings of gratitude he had for Qiao Ruohuan. Last night, she had only said some unpleasant words. It wasn't a big deal because, in the past, he had always yielded to her. But what happened to him recently? Why didn't he yield to her this time?
She had saved his life in the past. In addition to that, their relationship and feelings for each other are real.
Xing Yichen turned his head and said to Qiao Ruohuan, "Are you tired?"
Qiao Ruohuan slowly but happily put down the arm that had the wristwatch on. She felt her heart relaxed because she finally won. Her body wasn't tired, but her heart definitely was.
When everyone arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Qiao Moyu still had not woken up. Ye Peicheng turned and asked Qin Qianqian, "Do you know where Moyu put her room keys?"
Qin Qianqian thought for a moment before she reached out and check Qiao Moyu's pockets. Sure enough, she found the room keys inside and replied, "I will help you unlock the door."
The host stood beside them and laughed at the scene, "Moyu is definitely tired from cooking. Everyone, it's best if you rest early tonight because we will be going to the market tomorrow morning!"
Everyone went upstairs to their own rooms while Ye Peicheng carried Qiao Moyu to the door of her room. Qin Qianqian opened the door and Ye Peicheng carried her inside. He didn't even reach the bed before Qin Qianqian who was still outside the door blinked at him and said, "Teacher Ye, you do what you need to do. Goodnight!"
After she finished speaking, she slipped away. However, she didn't forget to close the door before slipping away.
At this moment, only Ye Peicheng and Qiao Moyu were left inside the room.
Ye Peicheng carefully put Qiao Moyu on the bed. Qiao Moyu yawned and asked in a daze, "Big brother Ye, are we home?"
He looked straight into her eyes before replying, "Yeah."
She groaned and then hugged a body pillow from the bed. Qiao Moyu continued sleeping.
Through the window, a layer of shallow but warm light fell on Qiao Moyu's cheeks. She slept soundly and her shiny full lips quietly formed a pout on her face. Her cute and defenseless appearance made Ye Peicheng sigh.
She looked so at ease while sleeping, isn't she afraid that he's a bad person?
In the beginning, she tried her best to avoid him from getting closer to her. During their first time filming together, they had a scene where they embraced each other. During that scene, she looked as if she was forcing herself to hug him.
But now, she would smile at him, call him 'big brother Ye', and could peacefully fall asleep on his back...
Ye Peicheng's eyes were filled with warm light which softened the facial features on his face.
At this time, the fast asleep Qiao Moyu mumbled something and twisted her body a little. When she twisted her body, the collar of her shirt was pulled open a little, especially since she wore thin clothes. When the collar of her shirt was pulled open, it exposed her shoulder and beautiful collarbone.
Upon seeing her snow-white skin and her exposed collarbone, Ye Peicheng felt his throat tighten.
Amidst his panic, he tried to look up. Instead of staring at her collarbone, his gaze swept past her slender and fair neck and landed on her beautiful lips.
He felt like he was bewitched by some supernatural force. Little by little, he began leaning closer to her.
Their lips were getting closer and closer to each other. But just as their lips were about to touch, Ye Peicheng suddenly felt his mind tremble, making him immediately return to his senses again.
He quickly sat up with his back straight. Ye Peicheng looked at the girl who was still peacefully sleeping as his heart beat madly.
Suddenly, he realized something—
Ye Peicheng suddenly realized that he seemed to have developed feelings for Qiao Moyu.
He liked this little girl who was sometimes smart, sometimes cute, and sometimes making him unable to either laugh or cry...
He stared at her for a while before a smiled formed on his lips. His fingers reached out to lightly her cheeks, but after a light touch, he quickly pulled away. Ye Peicheng turned around, helped her take off her shoes, and covered her with a thin blanket. After that, he turned off the light and left Qiao Moyu's room.
When Ye Peicheng left the room, his footsteps were very quiet. He was just about to take the flight of stairs when he discovered that there were quite a few sheets of banknotes in front of his foot.
When Ye Peicheng left the room, his footsteps were very quiet. He was just about to take the flight of stairs when he discovered that there were quite a few sheets of banknotes in front of his foot.
He bent over and picked up the money. He realized that the money wasn't fake, so he was immediately confused. Recently, it seemed like the god of wealth had possessed his body, he was always finding money on the ground.
Every time he found money on the ground; he would ask the people around him if they had lost any money. However, no one had lost their money. This made him recall the nursery rhyme he had learned when he was young: "I picked up a penny on the sidewalk and I gave it to the police officer to take care of it..."
Ye Peicheng shook off the song that was stuck in his head. He put the money away and planned to ask other people if they had lost their money tomorrow.
A thousand miles away from where Ye Peicheng was, father Ye's phone rang. It was his assistant who had called him saying, "President Ye, I have found some personal information regarding [Brother Yu, please live with me]!"
"Good, tell me." Father Ye had just finished watching the live broadcast of the program and had currently just finished taking a shower. He was in a good mood.
The assistant said, "Originally it would've been hard to get any information on him because they usually don't leak any information on their clients. However, it seemed like it was the user's first time watching a live broadcast. As a result, his original nickname is his real name. The user's real name is called Huang Chu. In his data card, his phone number is open to the public. His phone number is 15733211278."
When father Ye heard the name 'Huang Chu', he thought to himself, the world can't be this small. After listening to his assistant report [Brother Yu, please live with me]'s phone number to him, he pulled up Mr. Huang's phone number from his phone. After looking at Mr. Huang's phone number and the phone number his assistant reported, the corners of his lips twitched.
The world was just this small!
The profound and mysterious feng shui master whom he admires was actually [Brother Yu, please live with me]!
He and Mr. Huang were both in their 50s, yet he called a little girl, big brother! He even wants to ask her to live with him! Where did his pride go?
Father Ye was secretly ridiculing Mr. Huang when he suddenly remembered something.
He still has a ticket to appear in the next filming of the program and he can't go. After all, he is Ye Peicheng's father. If he goes and accidentally exposes his intentions, it might deter his son from chasing after his daughter-in-law.
However, it would be different for Mr. Huang. If he gives the ticket to Mr. Huang��….
Father Ye picked up the phone and called Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang was a little depressed today. He was in a bad mood, so he had rejected all the recent requests from his customers who wanted help from him. When he saw father Ye calling him, he let the phone rang a few times before picking it up, "Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Huang." Father Ye paused for a moment and organized his language, "Although we are old, we should still play what the youngsters play to keep up with the times!"
Mr. Huang was confused by his speech, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Father Ye said, "I've been watching a live broadcast recently. The live broadcasting has my son and the person you said who has pure and fresh..."
Mr. Huang sat up straight and asked, "Mr. Ye, could it be that you're [Chen x Yu couple's super fan]?"
Father Ye was silent for a moment before replying, "Mr. Huang is really good at guessing!"
Mr. Huang didn't shy away when he said, "I am [Brother Yu, please live with me]! Mr. Ye, I had to pick up a phone call, so I had recharged a second too late during the live broadcast. Because of that, you robbed my first-place ranking. I feel very wronged..."
Father Ye didn't think that Mr. Huang would calmly admit that he was [Brother Yu, please live with me]. But because Mr. Huang was straightforward, he also didn't beat around the bush. Father Ye said, "I called you because I want to let you take my place and go to the program to film. It's not convenient for me to go to the program because my son and future daughter-in-law is also in there. So, you should log in to my account and contact the program group! When you film the program with the kids, I just want you to watch over my son!"
Mr. Huang only felt that the sky was raining pies and one of the pies had just fallen on him. He happily consented, "No problem. Brother Ye, you can leave this matter to me!"
"Thank you, brother Huang!" At this moment, the two men began addressing each other like they were close brothers.
...
That exact night, Mr. Huang had already contacted the program group to participate in the next recording.
The moon had set, and the sun had risen. Early in the morning of the next day, the heavy curtains of the market competition had officially been pulled back.
