Bai Qi sneezed as soon as he entered the house.
Xi Chengyun was taking off his shoes. He didn’t raise his head as he asked, “Are you not dressed warm enough?”
Bai Qi shook his head. He thought to himself, it’s likely because of your fans who are scolding me behind my back!
Actually, he could pretty much imagine the above scenario. Countless fans would’ve started scolding him as soon as Xi Chengyun got off the car and was in the same frame as him.
Xi Chengyun took off his down jacket and rolled the sleeves of his sweater up to his elbows. He took a warm cup of water and handed it to Bai Qi. “Drink some?”
Bai Qi didn’t take the cup. Instead, he bent down and took a sip of water from the cup in Xi Chengyun’s hand.
Bai Wi raised his head, his lips still glistening with water as he asked, “What should we have for dinner?”
“Anything’s fine,” Xi Chengyun replied.
Bai Qi smiled. “Same as last time?”
Xi Chengyun paused, he couldn’t figure out when was this ‘last time’ Bai Qi was talking about.
However, Xi Chengyun still nodded in response.
This way, through the eyes of the viewers, it would seem that they’ve known each other for a longer time; their marriage wouldn’t seem too sudden, like a ‘shotgun marriage’.
Bai Qi bent and pulled out an apron from the cupboard.
There was a panda printed on the apron; it looked so innocent.
Bai Qi threw his apron on as he looked out the window. “When I came, the staff told me that they had wanted to plant Chinese roses in the garden.”
Xi Chengyun looked out the window too.
He didn’t like or dislike flowers.
To be more accurate, Xi Chengyun simply doesn’t have anything that he particularly likes.
Despite that, he still said, “We’ll need a greenhouse if we want the roses to grow.”
Bai Qi nodded and didn’t say anything else. He turned around and went to cook.
Xi Chengyun paused, before following behind Bai Qi.
He never cooks, because he was really too busy.
And when he was younger, he always had a nursemaid to take care of his three meals.
Xi Chengyun stood aside, he looked like he didn’t really fit in.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Bai Qi gave it some thought and said, “Yup.”


The subsequent filming proceeded smoothly. Since the rest of the guests were long-term ‘friends’ of the camera, nothing could go wrong.
Soon, they had filmed enough content for Episode 1.
In the dormitory of Jing University

“F*cking hell, all this news
 I’m dumbfounded.” Mu Dong said, closing his laptop.
Another roommate pointed at himself and said, “My brain is still buzzing right now
 Qi Qi has so many tricks up his sleeve. With everything that’s happening right now, it’s no wonder we are still in shock.”
“Who wouldn’t be?” Another roommate chipped in, “I can barely keep up with the latest gossip, and now we need to keep up with our own Bai Qi’s tea.”
For the past two days, the news of Xi Chengyun heading to the filming site of ‘The Perfectly Wedded Pair’ circulated like crazy on Weibo.
The platform gained more than enough attention from this; currently, they must be smiling till their cheeks hurt.
“Why are the netizens so mean? F*ck, I really want to clap back at them, but I’m also worried that it’ll cause trouble for Bai Qi. Arghhh, this is so annoying!”
“Are we still not able to contact Qi Qi?”
“He must be filming right now.”
After quite some time, one of them couldn’t take it anymore and let out a long sigh. “When is Qi Qi coming back? I need him to teach me English. At this rate, I won’t be able to graduate!!!”
Over at the filming site, the program staffs were chitchatting.
“What’s happening? Do the netizens actually like the show despite all the hate they’ve thrown at it?”
“They’re roasting the show,  but also turning on reminders for it.”
On the screen in front of them, the number of reminders for ‘The Perfectly Wedded Pair’ showed as: 5.583 million people
And this number continued to increase.
Moreover, the numbers they were looking at, was only the number of reminders turned on for this one platform.
The program team was overwhelmed by the number presented to them.
What huge gains and awesome audience turnout rate would this number translate into?
No wonder Xi Chengyun was in such high demand. Every platform wanted him to join their shows to secure good viewership rates!
This time, they just so happened to hop onto the opportunity when Xi-laoshi wanted to make his marriage public. If not, their platform might not be able to get Xi Chengyun to join their reality shows even after another 18 years.
“Is everything set?” the director asked, taking a deep puff of cigarette smoke.
“Yes,” the staff replied.
The team hurriedly edited the clips and Episode 1 was done.
Later on, they could also make an extended version exclusively for VIPs of the platform.
Now, the video was scheduled to be posted. All they had to do was to wait until the specified time for the platform to broadcast it automatically.
“We’re filming and airing immediately after. This is so exciting!” the producer said, breathless after the whole experience.
The Chief Director suddenly had an idea. “Wouldn’t it be even more exciting if we switch it to a live broadcast?”
The producer was a little tempted. If they do so, by then, everyone will witness the amazing number of views they get during their live broadcast.
The producer gave it some thought but ended up shaking his head. “If something we can’t control were to happen during the live broadcast, Xi-laoshi will be the first one to strangle us to death
 ”
To put it bluntly, this variety show was different from other variety shows.
This was a variety show for married couples.
And married couples easily expose the problems they have with each other. It happened when they pre-record before broadcasting. So, it was a no-brainer that it would happen if it was during a live broadcast.
And
 to be honest, they weren’t too optimistic about how true the relationship between this amateur and Xi-laoshi is.
That day, at 8:30PM, the first episode of ‘The Perfectly Wedded Pair’ was aired.
