    Chapter 34: Indulgence. Xu Chengyue is handsome, but he’s still a man!

    [This doesn’t make sense, right? Shouldn’t it be the group with the props versus the group without props?]

    [I think it makes perfect sense. It’s their fault for being late; it’s first come, first served.]

    [Bless our Xing Yue group.]

    [The new young lady is so cool. Both girls are amateurs, but they seem very capable.]

    [Aren’t the reasoning questions just testing IQ? Whoever is in the same group as Qing Sha is lucky!]

    [Our Chengyue also graduated from A University. Although the school isn’t as famous as B University, it’s still very impressive.]

    [Where are the people hyping up their baby? What’s Lu Baoyu’s education?]

    [Checked, he also went to A University and studied abroad.]

    [Ah, do we even need to brag about education? Baoyu is more than just that; unlike some people who overhype things.]

    “The only group that got the same color ping pong ball,” Zhang Shuang said, looking at the color of the ball in everyone’s hand, “The 4 groups that become partners can start solving the puzzle.”

    The groups drawn are—

    Xu Chengyue/Ye Xiao, Shangguan Yaoguang/Lu Baoyu, Qing Sha/Wen Jingxin, Hao Yun/Zhou Qingqing.

    The moment the groups were announced, the live broadcast room also split into 4 screens.

    [Improved, they finally set up a few more live broadcast rooms.]

    [My eyes went dark.]

    [Why split them up? Can’t they just team up freely?]

    [Wouldn’t that be too tragic for the Redhead’s group? They don’t even have initial props.]

    [Shangguan Yaoguang and Lu Baoyu have two props, is this scripted?]

    [It’s obvious who they’re pushing…]

    [What’s obvious about pushing someone? This grouping is purely based on luck, okay? Our baby is just a lucky koi carp favored by the heavens!!]

    [Xu Chengyue and Ye Xiao’s fans have been fighting fiercely lately; how dare you group them like this?]

    [Okay, I get it now; this show wants to go the black-red route.]

    Xu Chengyue wasn’t surprised, putting the white ball back after, he picked up his initial props.

    “Chengyue, there might be a toy room on the second floor; let’s go there.”

    After the exchange, their prop became a Transformer, so Ye Xiao quickly associated it with toys. No one knew what was on the second floor, he just wanted Xu Chengyue to be as far away from Fu Yang as possible, so he flatteringly pulled him upstairs.

    Xu Chengyue also thought it was possible, so he nodded, but worried about Fu Yang, he went over and told him a few more words not to clash with Lu Baoyu, to find him if anything happened. Only then did he feel relieved and walked upstairs with Ye Xiao.

    Ye Xiao was one step behind, he was tall, reaching out his arm to loosely wrap around the silver-haired youth’s shoulder, looking very intimate from behind and from the camera’s perspective.

    Fu Yang turned around and happened to see this scene, immediately frowning, then shifted his gaze to the more slender figure next to him, suddenly withdrawing his gaze and beckoning to Hao Yun.

    Hao Yun’s eyes lit up, rushing over clumsily, “Yaoguang-ge, are you going to give me the props!”

    He and Lu Baoyu had two props, giving them one was very reasonable!

    Yaoguang-ge was simply a hero saving them!!

    Hao Yun looked at him with anticipation.

    Zhou Qingqing took a step to the side, distancing himself from him, his disgust overflowing, “Little Fifth, aren’t you ashamed?”

    Of course, it was impossible for Fu Yang to give it to him; Xu Chengyue gave it to him in front of everyone—how could he give it away.

    “You guys go follow Ye Xiao,” he pointed across.

    Hao Yun pointed at his nose, “Me, me?”

    Fu Yang tilted his head slightly, his meaning self-evident.

    “I don’t dare.” Hao Yun instantly deflated, “Xiao-ge will beat me to death.”

    Fu Yang, seeing his wimpy state, was speechless, “He won’t do anything to you on the show.”

    Hao Yun bit his fingernails, his eyes misty, “He will beat me to death after the show.”

    Fu Yang silently raised his fist, “If you don’t go, I’ll beat you to death right now.”

    “Captain.”

    “Captain-gege~”

    Two “roadblocks” suddenly appeared in front of the stairs, the red one, putting his hands together in a pleading gesture, twinkling his starry eyes.

    “Captain, let’s be together~”

    Xu Chengyue couldn’t ignore it even if he wanted to, because he couldn’t move.

    Hao Yun was holding onto his legs, one on each side, pulling Zhou Qingqing with him.

    [I’m dying of laughter, it’s “Xu Chengyue” when nothing’s happening, but “Captain-gege” when something is~]

    [The first burst of laughter today was brought to me by the Redhead.]

    [I knew this kid Hao Yun would do this; forever young, forever shameless.]

    [Zhou Qingqing always outwardly dislikes it, but always goes along with Hao Yun’s antics, I’m shipping it…]

    “We’re so pitiful, we have nothing, we know nothing, we haven’t seen a single clue…”

    “Captain, Chengyue-gege, Third Brother, we’re a team…”

    “Wuwu…”

    Although he knew the other party was faking tears and acting, Xu Chengyue’s heart still softened, scratching his chin.

    Hao Yun shamelessly stuck out his tongue, whimpering “Woof woof” to make him laugh.

    “They don’t have props, how about we team up?”

    Xu Chengyue was of course willing, but in a task, he still had to respect Ye Xiao’s opinion.

    Ye Xiao lowered his head, his murderous gaze piercing at a certain shameless, coquettish Redhead, stiffly spitting out two words—”Sure, fine.”

    Hao Yun instantly hid behind Zhou Qingqing, not daring to meet Ye Xiao’s eyes, but boldly and timidly made an OK gesture towards Fu Yang in the distance, patting his chest, gesturing—”bro, got it.”

    So, the original two people turned into a mighty group heading to the second floor.

    Downstairs, Lu Baoyu was showing off the photo album he got to his follow pd.

    “Fans babies, the photo album contains four broken discs!”

    “What do you all think this represents?”

    “Shangguan, have you seen this movie? Are we going to the film and audio room? Do you want to watch a movie with me?”

    Lu Baoyu said, reaching out to grab Fu Yang’s arm.

    Fu Yang walked straight past, treating his words like farts, not even glancing at Lu Baoyu, holding a bouquet of sunflowers, walking towards the back garden on his own.

    “Shangguan, should we solve your clue first?”

    “Mine is a photo album; the photo album should have more clues.”

    “Shangguan, can you walk a little slower?”

    The delicate, soft voice was as annoying as fingernails scratching a blackboard, making his scalp tingle.

    It was strange, why did they both call him “Shangguan,” but Xu Chengyue’s sounded better?

    Of course, it sounded even better when he said “Fu Yang.” Fu Yang’s thoughts instantly returned to that messy night, and his ears flushed red.

    [Looks like he doesn’t care on the surface, but he’s secretly overjoyed.]

    [Who can resist a beautiful, delicate beauty? Brat, you’re going to have a chase-wife-crematorium arc!]

    [The brain-dead fans on the public screen are here again…]

    [Why are you only allowed to ship your CP, but we’re not allowed to ship ours? The “Pearl Radiance” supertopic already has 30,000 people; we’re a serious CP!!]

    When could he hear it again? Should he give Xu Chengyue some more wine? Fu Yang thought this, and a mischievous smile couldn’t help but appear on his lips.

    [Ahhh, he’s even smirking, our Pearl Radiance is standing up, who can’t say they’re a match made in heaven]

    [Dumb beauty and rascal, I’m shipping it…]

    [Suggest checking what “radiance” means, I’m rolling on the floor laughing.]

    [Guang-zai, run… you’ve been contaminated by persimmon…]

    “Aiya, my shoes are dirty; it’s all dirt here, Shangguan, come out quickly.”

    “Or can you carry me over? My shoes can’t get dirty~”

    Lu Baoyu lifted his trouser legs, pointing at the mud in the back garden.

    “Then go solve your clue, split up, don’t yell in my ear, it’s incredibly annoying,” Fu Yang said coldly.

    [Pearl Radiance stood up for a second and completely collapsed hahahaha.]

    [A second of BE, delighting the schadenfreude lovers.]

    [Isn’t Shangguan Yaoguang a little too rude? How can he be so fierce to Baby!]

    [Isn’t this normal talking? Where’s the fierceness? He’s just being direct.]

    [No, isn’t Lu Baoyu too pretentious? Didn’t they say he was switched at birth before he was eighteen and was a country boy for a while? Now he can’t even step on dirt?]

    [Have you noticed that Shangguan has always been very direct with people he’s not familiar with. (Only representing the past month, because he didn’t talk at all before)]

    [So, they’re not familiar at all, right? Lu Baoyu acted like they had a great relationship at the beginning.]

    “How can you talk so rudely!” The young master had never experienced cold-shouldering like this, and now he pursed his red lips, his eyes misty.

    “Get lost.” Fu Yang’s patience had reached its limit, lying on the swing in the back garden, putting on headphones, too lazy to pay attention to him; who wasn’t a young master.

    Lu Baoyu had been celebrated since birth and had never suffered this kind of anger. Stomping his foot, he really went to find clues on his own.

    As soon as he left, another screen split off from the original four.

    The pd and cameraman naturally followed Lu Baoyu, leaving only an aerial drone on Fu Yang’s side.

    Fu Yang was happy for the peace and quiet, lazily basking in the sun, lowering his eyes to look at the sunflowers in his arms, he couldn’t help but think of Xu Chengyue again.

    What did that look in the garden just now mean?

    Winter cherry blossoms fell on that person’s shoulder, like the guardian spirit of this garden, pure and sacred, a pair of watery eyes looking at him from afar, as if there were thousands of words to say.

    Too unfair.

    At that moment, Fu Yang couldn’t understand Xu Chengyue’s helpless gaze, just wanting to reach out and shake off the cherry blossom petals from the corner of his eye, but that person had already turned and left.

    Fu Yang’s heartbeat was still roaring, he seemed to care more and more about Xu Chengyue, even thinking that it was pretty good like this.

    If Xu Chengyue wasn’t hot and cold and was always so nice to him, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t go back.

    Fu Yang buried his face in the sunflowers, trying to sober up, but helplessly, this unpromising flower was repeatedly stained with the scent of Xu Chengyue, and the little red mole between his eyebrows constantly appeared in his mind, a tiny point that instantly spread into a prairie fire, repeatedly burning his heart.

    Ahhhh!! Fu Yang, wake up, Xu Chengyue is handsome, but he’s still a man!!!

    [What is this light-zai doing? Meditating on the swing?]

    [Hugging the flower and rubbing it around, his face is flushed, innocent puppy, what kind of spring dream is he having…]

    [Seems like an Alpha in heat, sniffing the pheromones left by his partner.]

    [Once you bring in this setting… the live broadcast ends, I want to see 100,000 words, understand?]

    [Xing Yue is still better to ship, both horny and pure (small face flushed)]

    [Breaking news, Qing Sha has already passed the first level…]

    [I rely on, it’s only been a few minutes??]

    [The blanket in the pillow is coated with ultraviolet raw materials, which will reflect color in the sunlight, how did she think of that?]

    [The big shot solved the puzzle in a second and is now heading to the third floor.]

    [Wait, what is Shangguan Yaoguang digging? How does he know there’s something in the dirt!]

    [So, he didn’t come to swing for fun…]
