Xianyu And Protagonist A Are Together Chapter 8
byChapter 8: What Does Heartbreak Look Like? [Don’t understand, but it’s a little…
[Don’t understand, but it’s a little sweet.]
[Same here, want to ship them, but is it inappropriate?]
[Who cares if it’s inappropriate, as long as I’m happy! All sisters who want to ship them, come join me!]
While both participants were unaware and the fans were confused, a new CP pairing was born out of nowhere.
After finishing the dishes, Director Wang Qiang began assigning tasks. Today’s task was no longer about acquiring food; fitting the theme of a dating show, it was a half-day date.
There were three date locations: the Botanical Garden, the Zoo, and the Aquarium.
As yesterday’s winner, Wen Mian got to choose first. She turned her head to ask Wang Mo’s opinion, “Where do you want to go?”
Wang Mo looked at one option, then another, suffering from decision paralysis. “Hmm… they all seem fine.”
Wen Mian understood. She stepped forward, picked up the Zoo sign, and turned to the camera. “We choose the Zoo.”
Gu Man chose the Botanical Garden, leaving the Aquarium for Zhang Yunxi (Xi Xi) and Su Shiqiu.
Getting into the car, Xiao Meng conducted the routine interview. “May I ask why Mian Mian chose the Zoo?”
Wen Mian answered quickly: “There are small animals. They can replenish my energy.”
[Haha, is the implication that participating in a dating show drains her energy?]
[Upstairs, who told you to speak the blunt truth? Doesn’t our Mian Mian have to work!]
Xiao Meng paused awkwardly for a second, glanced at her phone, and continued asking: “Then why did Mo Mo choose Mian Mian as her partner?”
Wang Mo gave a silly laugh. “Of course, because Mian Mian is awesome!”
Xiao Meng was stunned. “Awesome… haha…”
The audience in the live stream nearly burst out laughing.
[Awesome, hahaha, I’m going to faint from laughing!]
[Confirmed: these two will not become a couple.]
[I can’t handle this! Are you here to be sisters?!]
Xiao Meng quickly changed the subject. “Speaking of which, everyone is curious about what type of person you both like. Could you answer that?”
Hearing this, Wen Mian thought for a moment. Well, she couldn’t think of anything.
She replied lazily: “I don’t have a specific type I like. Maybe whoever appears, that’s the one.”
Xiao Meng nodded and looked at Wang Mo.
Wang Mo was also momentarily blank, taking a long time before saying, “I guess I like someone lively?”
The live stream was like a continuous drama.
[What kind of person do you like? I don’t know.]
[Haha, looks like Wen Mian is single since birth. Because I’m the same way.]
[Wait! Didn’t they say Wen Mian liked Gu Man?]
[Maybe before, but probably not now, right?]
[Be confident. Given Wen Mian’s current ‘loves no one’ attitude, she definitely doesn’t have anyone she likes!]
Gu Man’s fans looked confused. Wen Mian doesn’t like their idol anymore? Given her previous level of obsession, that couldn’t be right, could it?
But looking at the calm Wen Mian in the live stream, they weren’t sure anymore. So, she really didn’t like him anymore?
Never mind, it was better if she didn’t. She seemed quite good now.
Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, the CP fans made their move.
[Hey? Did anyone notice that Wen Mian and Gu Man said the exact same thing?]
[Really? Really? Ahhh! I didn’t see it, did anyone record it?]
[Me, me, me! Everyone go watch!]
So, the fans swarmed over. The video showed Gu Man being interviewed.
The beginning was normal, until the staff asked about his preferred type.
Gu Man lowered his eyes in silence, then looked up after a long pause and said, “Whatever she looks like, that’s what the feeling of a heartbeat is like.”
The bullet screen suddenly exploded, and everyone turned into screaming chickens.
[Ahhh! So beautiful! So heartwarming!]
[I love that answer!]
[Indeed, the meaning is similar, if not exactly the same. If it weren’t for the past, maybe these two could be friends?]
At this remark, the audience fell silent.
[Maybe… probably… possibly…]
[After seeing how Wen Mian was before, I just hope she doesn’t go back to that!]
[Plus one. Please, I really like the current Wen Mian.]
The Zoo was built in the surrounding area of the city, backed by mountains and forests, making it beautiful and expansive.
Xiao Meng introduced it in front: “This is the dating location for the two of you: Hongmu Zoo. It covers an area of over two thousand acres and receives multiple forms of national support…”
After Xiao Meng’s introduction, Wen Mian felt she had found the best thing about this world—a love for animals.
They wouldn’t look down on young life; animal abuse was illegal here, regardless of the animal.
Walking in from the main gate, the first thing they saw was the sightseeing cart that could take them around the park.
As a lazy person, Wen Mian chose to ride without hesitation. The group squeezed tightly onto the cart and headed inside.
Upon reaching the alpaca area, Wen Mian and Wang Mo got off the sightseeing cart.
A fluffy little alpaca immediately ran over, making two short “hmm hmm” sounds, putting its head into Wen Mian’s hand, and rubbing happily.
Wen Mian was surprised for a second, but her movements were quick. She petted it and looked at the staff. “Since you chose the location, the funds must be ready, right?”
Xiao Meng was confused. Huh? Are we supposed to provide the funds? She looked hesitantly at Wang Qiang, her face full of doubt.
Wang Qiang gritted his teeth, thinking bitterly, I knew I shouldn’t have followed this group!
The look of resentment on his face instantly turned into a smile the moment Wen Mian looked over. His tone was slightly coaxing. “Mian Mian, we only cover the entrance tickets. You need to pay for the expenses yourselves. Isn’t that great? It lets you experience the satisfaction of spending money.”
The live stream audience burst into laughter.
[Hahaha, satisfaction from spending money? That’s the first time I’ve heard that.]
[I’m learning something new. Is this how rich people are?]
Wen Mian wasn’t fooled by Wang Qiang’s act. She even shivered and quickly stopped him. “Don’t bother! Spending money only causes me heartache, not satisfaction. I’ll only feel satisfied if you cover the expenses for me.”
Seeing that he couldn’t trick her, the fake smile on Wang Qiang’s face faded. His eyes darted to Wang Mo on the side, and he got a new idea. “Mian Mian, you still need to appreciate our good intentions. Look, we deliberately didn’t cover all the expenses so that Mo Mo could show another side of herself.”
“This is an opportunity we specially created for you!”
Seeing the topic shift to herself, Wang Mo’s smile, which had been enjoying the show, stiffened, but she quickly smiled again. Her eyes curved slightly, carrying a hint of casual seduction. “Director, since you said we are partners, how dare I do anything that would upset Mian Mian?”
As she spoke, she slightly leaned sideways toward Wen Mian’s shoulder, her tone drawn out, sounding intimately close.
Whether Wang Qiang was choked up or not, the audience didn’t know, because they erupted in their first scream of the day.
[So beautiful! Two magnificent faces! Ah Wei, I’m dead!]
[Who taught Wang Mo to smile like that? Does she know she just stole my soul?!]
[This shot together! It’s a beauty of the century! Ahhh! I’m speechless!]
[Sister, I understand. Unfortunately, I have no culture, so I’ll just say “Super beautiful” to conquer the world!]
[I declare this to be—a feast of intense beauty! One is gorgeous but currently cold-faced and cute, the other has peach blossom eyes that look deeply affectionate even when looking at a dog. They are simply the most beautiful partners!]
[Plus one, plus one! Screenshotting this. I’m joining this authoritative pairing!]
[Hehe, sisters, come quickly. The name is—Mo Mian CP!]
Wang Qiang wasn’t celebrating. He stared at the two of them for a while, then finally gave up. “Fine, you buy it, and we will pay.”
Wen Mian beamed, her right dimple showing. She high-fived Wang Mo, her voice cheerful. “Victory!”
Taking advantage of the high-five, she quickly pulled away from Wang Mo.
Carrots were bought, and the little alpaca happily “hmm hmm’d” and trotted over to Wen Mian. Its big black eyes shone brightly as it looked at the carrots in Wen Mian’s hand.
Wen Mian’s gaze softened. She held the bag of carrots with one hand and fed the alpaca with the other.
The little alpaca ate happily and couldn’t help but rub against Wen Mian’s calf, seemingly saying “thank you.”
Wen Mian watched its satisfied expression, her gaze involuntarily falling on the carrots. The carrots had been cut into thin strips, looking orange-red and tempting in the sunlight.
Wen Mian wondered, Is it that delicious?
Her other hand moved from the alpaca’s back, moving, moving, and finally landed on the bag.
Everyone thought she was going to feed the alpaca, even the alpaca itself thought so.
Then they saw Wen Mian pick up a carrot stick and put it into her mouth—
Wait, put it into her own mouth?!
The audience looked again and realized they hadn’t been mistaken, falling into silence.
The alpaca’s large black eyes also showed confusion. It gently nudged Wen Mian’s leg, seemingly asking: Wasn’t that for me? Why did you eat it?
Wen Mian bit off the carrot stick with a crunch, her eyes puzzled. Why are you all looking at me?
Everyone remained silent, only focusing their eyes on her hand.
Wen Mian looked down, realized what was happening, chewed and swallowed the carrot in her mouth, and then said: “It’s fine, humans can eat it. I tested it for you.”
Everyone still didn’t speak. Whether humans could eat it was one thing, but was that meant for humans?!
The little alpaca, at its young age, felt it had witnessed the wickedness of society. How could someone not be charmed by its cuteness and instead eat its carrot!
Probably understanding everyone’s thoughts, Wen Mian smiled brightly. The sunlight dispelled all other thoughts, leaving only stunning beauty.
[Let her eat it. It’s only right for my beloved concubine to eat.]
[Exactly! It’s the production team’s fault for knowing my beloved concubine loves carrots and not buying them for her!]
[My beloved concubine is beautiful, but truly beautiful. I can’t say anything else!]
Wang Qiang saw the bullet screen and instantly clenched his jaw, his mind full of questions. What does this have to do with me? Doesn’t anyone consider my feelings!
To be fair, there really were some. Although Wen Mian’s image had improved a lot, there were still some haters. Seeing this, they immediately rubbed their hands together and pressed the keyboard.
[Doesn’t anyone think this is cruel? That was clearly meant for the alpaca!]
[Exactly! Wen Mian faced the little alpaca’s big eyes and ate it herself. Doesn’t she feel guilty?]
[She doesn’t look like someone who loves animals…]
[Let me preface this by saying I’m not a hater, but I agree with the previous comments!]
Who knew that just as the words fell, and the other viewers were about to retort…
