Lin Xi leaned close to Pei Jiashu’s ear, grabbed his ear, and loudly said, “Baby, baby, baby, is that enough?”

Pei Jiashu couldn’t hide the smile on his face, grinning so widely his mouth almost reached the back of his ears. Everyone else looked away, unable to bear witnessing the scene.

This little interlude did manage to get Lin Xi up from the sofa.

The village chief of the tea village was waiting at the entrance, leading their group in a grand procession towards the tea garden. On the way, the village chief introduced their tea and tea plantation.

Jiang Xubai listened with a nod and a sway. He and Chi Qi were all lovey-dovey, Jiang Xubai holding Chi Qi’s hand even as they walked along the road.

Pei Jiashu pointedly grabbed Lin Xi’s sleeve, gesturing with his mouth for Lin Xi to look at them.

Lin Xi momentarily lost control of his facial expressions. It would be one thing if it were just them, but the production team was there too, carrying several cameras and recording microphones, practically parading through the streets.

The villagers were all craning their necks to observe them.

Pei Jiashu even wanted him to hold hands on the street. No way was he going to do that.

“Lin Xi–” Pei Jiashu drew out the last syllable, sounding somewhat like he was whining, yet also like an accusation.

Lin Xi’s heart tightened. He suddenly remembered Pei Jiashu during his estrus period. It felt like if he didn’t agree in the next second, Pei Jiashu would cling to him like a piece of gum.

He leaned in and quietly asked, “Didn’t your estrus period just end? Why are you acting crazy again?”

Pei Jiashu was stunned by the question, especially by Lin Xi’s last sentence, which dealt him a one hundred percent critical hit. Pei Jiashu clutched his chest in pain, putting on a wounded expression.

Assistant Song, who was forced to handle his boss’s work due to his boss’s publicly funded vacation, witnessed this scene and wondered if Pei Jiashu was possessed.

Was this what an enlightened alpha was like? So terrifying.

Lin Xi should tell Pei Jiashu to get lost.

But the next second, Assistant Song saw Lin Xi, unable to bear it, grab Pei Jiashu’s hand clutching his chest. “Okay, okay, why are you so childish?”

Assistant Song angrily shut down the live stream. He had nothing to say to this group of married people.

The comments section was also a chorus of wails.

[Am I the only one who feels like Pei Jiashu is being such a flirt? Is it just me?]

[He just wants to hold his wife’s hand, what’s wrong with that?]

[Lin Xi is completely wrapped around Pei Jiashu’s little finger, oh my god, his temper is so good]

[Upstairs, our Little Xi is famously explosive]

Arriving at the tea garden, they were greeted by layers upon layers of green. Low shrubs stood one after another, about waist-high. The villagers carried tea baskets on their backs or held basins in their hands, picking tea leaves.

The village chief said, “This is our tea garden. All you need to do today is fill this basket.”

The village chief gave them a back basket, handing it to Jiang Xubai. Jiang Xubai looked at the large basket, thinking he would have to pick tea all day.

“These are celebrities who have come to our village to film a program. You take them to familiarize themselves with our tea garden and teach them how to pick tea.” The village chief found several female workers who were picking tea and had them tutor them in pairs.

Lin Xi learned the female worker’s method, grabbing the stem of the tea leaf and tearing it off, throwing it into the basin in his hand.

It wasn’t a difficult job, but to fill that entire basket, he would definitely have to pick tea here for several hours.

Pei Jiashu didn’t say a word. He and Lin Xi chose a row and started picking tea along it. This kind of mechanical activity easily made people’s minds wander.

Lin Xi even started to feel sleepy.

The female worker next to him took the initiative to strike up a conversation with them. “What kind of program are you filming?”

Lin Xi said, “It’s a program that invites several couples to travel around and experience life.”

Female worker: “Oh, you two are a couple?”

This time, Pei Jiashu asked her first: “Isn’t it obvious?”

He stopped his movements and looked at the female worker intently.

The female worker laughed. “Obvious, obvious. I just thought you were just a young couple, I didn’t expect you were already married.”

“We’ve been married for more than half a year,” Lin Xi said.

The female worker looked to be in her forties. Her face was dark from being in the tea fields all year round, and she had many sunspots, but she smiled very kindly.

Hearing this, she smiled again. “I thought you young people didn’t like getting married. I see you two are quite young, how did you choose to get married?”

The female worker’s Mandarin had a unique local accent, sounding very kind, and the person was as gentle as a mother.

Lin Xi didn’t find the question offensive. Perhaps the tea picking relaxed his mind, and he brought out the same story he told his mother.

“He’s a senior I’ve liked for a long time. At that time, I was sick and needed an alpha’s pheromones. It just so happened that the senior was also at the age for matchmaking. He came to find me, and we got married in a flash.”

Although the female worker wasn’t young, hearing this still sparked her interest. “Then how do you two feel about your decision now?”

Lin Xi’s movements stopped abruptly. He turned his head to look at Pei Jiashu beside him. Pei Jiashu smiled back at him. He immediately avoided Pei Jiashu’s gaze, returning his eyes to the tea leaves.

He said, “I don’t know if I made the wrong choice, but I don’t regret it. After all, Senior is a very good person, and he takes good care of me.”

Pei Jiashu’s eyes gradually brightened, and he unconsciously moved closer and closer to Lin Xi.

He also replied, “At that time, I looked for Lin Xi just because my family was urging me to get married and I was being forced into it, but I didn’t expect to meet Lin Xi.”

Pei Jiashu’s voice was right above Lin Xi’s head. Lin Xi was so ashamed that he didn’t dare to look up at Pei Jiashu. His ear tips were red enough to drip blood.

“Let’s not talk about this, let’s pick tea quickly, the sun is about to set.”

Lin Xi pushed Pei Jiashu away and went to the nearby bushes. Pei Jiashu immediately approached Lin Xi again, like a clingy golden retriever.

The comments section was going crazy at this time.

After not chatting, the two worked hard to pick tea leaves, and the basin was finally half full. Lin Xi hammered his shoulders. Because of the mechanical movements, not only did his shoulders hurt, but his waist was also very painful.

The tea bushes were all waist-high, and some tea leaves grew too low, so he needed to squat down from time to time.

Lin Xi felt that his waist was like a rusty machine, creaking and creaking with every movement.

Pei Jiashu noticed Lin Xi’s movements, put the basin on the shrub, and rubbed Lin Xi’s shoulders. “Does it still hurt?”

“It hurts so much.” Lin Xi’s expression changed from the pain.

Pei Jiashu hammered his waist again, looking at Lin Xi with some heartache and helplessness. “You should exercise. I’ll pick the rest, you go and rest for a while.”

“No, everyone else hasn’t rested yet.” Lin Xi grabbed Pei Jiashu’s arm.

Pei Jiashu’s arm was indeed different from his arm. He could feel obvious muscle lines on his forearm, while his hand was just bone and flesh, feeling soft to the touch.

“It’s okay to sit for a while.” Pei Jiashu looked around, but there didn’t seem to be any clean places here. “If it really doesn’t work, you can just sit on the ground, and I’ll wash your clothes when we get home.”

“Oh, Young Master Pei can even wash clothes? So virtuous?” Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu like a hooligan. Pei Jiashu snorted softly. “I can’t let you down after you called me ‘wife’ twice, don’t you think so? Husband.”

Lin Xi slapped Pei Jiashu on the chest. “The camera is filming, don’t say these things!!”

“I’m not teasing you, you rest for a while, I’ll really wash your clothes when we get back,” Pei Jiashu said seriously.

Lin Xi sat on the small dirt slope next to him and looked at Pei Jiashu, thinking about the changes in Pei Jiashu’s attitude towards him. When did it start to become different?

Or was Pei Jiashu just trying to perform in front of the camera?

Before long, another person came to the small dirt pile. He thought it would be Jiang Xubai, but he didn’t expect it to be Li Zhijian. Li Zhijian didn’t mind the dirt either, sitting next to Lin Xi.

He followed Lin Xi’s gaze, which was on Pei Jiashu who was working.

Because the temperature here was very high, Pei Jiashu changed into a sweatshirt and jeans. His supermodel-like body proportions made people exclaim in admiration.

Li Zhijian nodded, commenting: “Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and tall. He’s got the frame for it.”

“Huh?” Lin Xi didn’t understand why Li Zhijian suddenly sat next to him and started commenting on Pei Jiashu.

He continued: “He’s also good looking. If he entered the entertainment industry, he would probably become popular very quickly.”

Lin Xi retorted: “He’s very popular now, he’s the most popular CEO.”

Li Zhijian smiled. He was a very handsome omega, and he was also tall. If he didn’t know that he was an omega, he would actually look more like an alpha. His facial features looked very aggressive, making people afraid to approach him when he wasn’t speaking.

But when he smiled, it was like a flower on a high mountain suddenly descending to earth. Lin Xi was stunned. He couldn’t imagine how beautiful it would be to put makeup on that face.

Li Zhijian generously let Lin Xi look at him, not only letting Lin Xi look, but also wanting Lin Xi to express his feelings.

“How is it? Am I more handsome, or is your husband more handsome?”

Lin Xi blurted out that he wanted to say Pei Jiashu. He just said a “Pei” and then immediately said: “You two have different styles of handsomeness.”

Li Zhijian turned off the microphone on his neck, and also turned off Lin Xi’s microphone.

“You’re very pretty, have you thought about entering the entertainment industry?”

Lin Xi shook his head. “I just like to shoot some beauty videos. If you want to put on makeup, I can do it for you.”

When he said the last sentence, his words were a little excited, exposing his private thoughts.

Li Zhijian suddenly sized up Lin Xi. “If it’s not for entering the entertainment industry, why would you two come to participate in this program?”

Lin Xi just wanted to use the reason from the morning to prevaricate, but Li Zhijian interrupted him. “You two can fool a simpleton like Xiaobai, but you can’t fool me at all.”

“…” Lin Xi was so nervous that he couldn’t speak. He looked around at the surrounding cameras. Although the cameras were filming, Li Zhijian had cut off both of their microphones, so the cameras couldn’t record their voices.

Lin Xi now knew why Li Zhijian wanted to cut off his microphone.

Li Zhijian continued: “You two are a fake couple, right? It seems that Pei Jiashu likes you very much, but you probably haven’t done it, and you don’t even have a mate mark.”
