A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 121
Reality TV about In-Laws (1)
Comments like “Oh My God” filled the screen by the time Xi Chengyun did his 5th push up.
The host was getting fidgety, but she didn’t dare to ask him to stop. She continued counting, “Six, Seven…”
Bai Qi badly wanted to curl himself up into a small ball.
But that clearly wouldn’t do.
He bit his lip and he unknowingly looked down.
He couldn’t see Xi Chengyun’s expression. He could only see his broad back, dark hair and fair neck. All his attention was focused on the man’s body. He could clearly see the man’s muscles moving every time he did a push-up..
Bai Qi’s breathing became shallower.
“… Ten!” The host suddenly shouted. “Alright, you’ve completed your ten push ups.”
Just then, she walked forward and reached out to help Xi Chengyun stand up.
Bai Qi got to him faster than her. He got down from Xi Chengyun’s back and held a hand out to him.
Xi Chengyun changed his posture and grabbed onto Bai Qi with his arm. He gently held onto him as he stood up.
Sweat could be seen on his forehead and his hair was wet. He looked like he was at ease, but a tense look could be seen in his eye. He looked like a predatory male animal who was courting his mate.
The host looked at him and she unknowingly stopped talking for a moment.
The livestream was in a frenzy.
【Ahhh, how amazing it is to be Qi Qi’s husband, and so is being Xi-ge’s wife!】
【Eventhough this is tiring, I have to say that the host did an amazing job】
【Does my Xi-ge’s shoes have signs of wear and tear now? I just want to know if his shoes are expensive _(:з」∠)_】
The host immediately came back to her senses. She breathed out deeply before she took two pieces of tissue and attempted to pass it to Xi Chengyun.
But Xi Chengyun didn’t accept it.
He nudged his chin in Bai Qi’s direction and said, “Take it.”
Bai Qi obediently accepted the tissue and passed it to him.
Xi Chengyun accepted it and casually dabbed the sweat on his forehead before he threw it into the dustbin.
【Why do I find this gesture sweet? Is there something wrong with me?】
Bai Qi felt a little hot, it was likely because he had been staring at him for too long.
Bai Qi silently let out a deep breath before he heard Xi Chengyun ask with a smile, “Are there
any consolation prizes?”
The host then said, “Yes, of course!”
If they didn’t have anything for them, then they’d have a lot of explaining to do.
Xi Chengyun said in a low voice, “Please bring them over and let Bai Qi pick.”
“Sure thing! I’ll get them right now!” the host exclaimed and hurried off, leaving the broadcasting cameraman behind.
Then, Xi Chengyun turned to look at Bai Qi and asked, “So?”
‘So…?’
Bai Qi’s brain wasn’t really working at the moment. He seemed to be stuck in the tense atmosphere from before. He met Xi Chengyun’s gaze and said, “...Your… waist is pretty flexible?”
Xi Chengyun smiled.
Laughter could be heard from the bullet comments.
【Does Bai Qi even know how dangerous are the words that’s coming out from his mouth?】
【To be fair.. It’s true, his waist is pretty flexible. GULP!】
Xia Yang had reached the place and was doing his makeup backstage. His manager and assistant were huddled in a corner and staring at their phone. They were looking at a livestream.
Xia Yang was half-dead from all the tuition classes he’d been attending. He had a long face as he walked closer to them. The words ‘don’t come near me’ were written all over him.
He couldn’t help but turn around and ask, “ What are you all looking at?”
“Xi-laoshi’s livestream,” the assistant replied.
Xia Yang felt a headache coming when he heard the man’s name. He asked unhappily, “What is there to watch anyway?”
The manager suddenly let out a long sigh. “Nothing much, we simply wanted to watch the whole livestream. I think that you should run the next time you meet Xi-laoshi.”
Xia Yang was utterly puzzled.
His assistant also sighed and said, “Xia-ge, I don’t think you’ll even survive a punch from Xi-laoshi.”
Xia Yang was speechless.
On the other hand, the host of the show hurriedly brought the consolation prizes over to them. There were ear muffs, eye masks for sleep, and even red underwear.
【How stingy】
In the end, Bai Qi chose the eye mask made from silk before following Xi Chengyun to the dressing room.
The livestream now had 20 million viewers, and all of them were asking for them to not leave.
The host sighed and said, “I don’t want Xi-ge to leave either. I even wanted to ask what other celebrities Bai Qi likes…”
【HAHA, leave it for next time】
【None of you care about Xi-ge’s feelings. You are only here for the tea!】
Even after the two left, the numerous fans had stayed back to chat, so the livestream was still packed with conversation and was still at the top of the trending list.
Countless other program teams were crying at the sight of the current predicament.
Xi Chengyun only had one activity to do on the show, and that was a solo singing performance.
A staff member guided Bai Qi to his seat and the New Year’s Gala finally started.
‘Not bad indeed.’
Bai Qi attentively observed the celebrities on stage while he munched on some light refreshments. It was a splendid and beautiful feast.
Bai Qi ate and waited for 3 hours.
The TV station wanted Xi Chengyun to perform last to avoid a fall in viewership.
While waiting for Xi Chengyun, Bai Qi didn’t allow himself to starve either. His hands were constantly going for the food on the small round table.
