MFIMM Chapter 66

Tickling

Tickling

Lin Xi was unable to calm down. His gaze drifted around, gradually moving to Pei Jiashu, trying to seek his help. But the man was focused on picking tea, not even giving him a single glance.

He’s usually all over me, but when I need him, he doesn’t even look at me.

Alphas are unreliable.

Lin Xi could only stare at Li Zhijian’s probing gaze, forcing himself to look at him, “We haven’t done it because we had a flash marriage. We want to cultivate our relationship more.”

“Oh~ cultivate your relationship.” Li Zhijian nodded, but his eyes clearly didn’t believe it.

He stood up from the mound, looking down at Lin Xi, “I originally just wanted to ask if you were interested in joining my studio. Since you don’t have that intention, then I wish you and President Pei can cultivate your relationship well on the show.”

Join Li Zhijian’s studio?

Lin Xi was shocked. Li Zhijian and Sheng Yan were not only seniors in the industry, but also had their own independent studios, the resources of which were no less than those of many entertainment companies.

Li Zhijian really wanted to pull Lin Xi into the entertainment industry.

Li Zhijian noticed the hesitation in Lin Xi’s eyes and said with a smile, “If you want to come, you can come find me.”

Lin Xi hurriedly stood up from the mound, looking somewhat uneasy at Li Zhijian, “I’m very grateful for your invitation, but I don’t know anything about acting. I’ve been studying behind the scenes all the time, so I can’t accept your invitation.”

“So you and President Pei are truly in love?” Li Zhijian shrugged, seemingly not surprised by this result, so he gossipily changed the subject again.

“I… I’m just in the process of cultivating feelings with him.” Lin Xi stammered.

Li Zhijian had a look of knowing without saying. He patted Lin Xi on the shoulder, “I understand, I understand everything.”

Lin Xi looked at Li Zhijian with a confused expression. What do you understand, my man?

But looking at Li Zhijian’s personality, he didn’t seem like someone who would talk nonsense, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Jiashu finally noticed this side after he stood up, his eyes occasionally glancing over here.

Li Zhijian immediately pushed Lin Xi, pushing him a step towards Pei Jiashu.

“Alright, I think your husband is about to be nervous to death because of you.”

Lin Xi was about to say something, but Li Zhijian had already turned around to find his own husband.

As soon as Li Zhijian left, Pei Jiashu walked over to Lin Xi, “What were you talking about just now? You talked for so long.”

“Nothing.” Lin Xi turned on the microphone hanging around his neck and went to pick tea with Pei Jiashu.

But in his mind, he kept thinking about what Li Zhijian had said to him. Not because of entering the entertainment industry, but because Li Zhijian could see at a glance that they were in a fake marriage, and they had never even marked.

What if the audience could see it too?

Did he really have to do everything with Pei Jiashu?

Lin Xi was thinking about this problem all the way until he went home in the evening. After finishing the recording in the evening, Lin Xi covered the camera in the room, looking at Pei Jiashu with a serious expression.

Pei Jiashu immediately looked at Lin Xi nervously, “Did something happen?”

“Today, Li Zhijian came to me because he could tell at a glance that we are in a fake marriage, and he also said that we haven’t done it and haven’t marked.”

The more Pei Jiashu listened, the more shocked he became, but because Lin Xi was more nervous, he still comforted Lin Xi, “Don’t worry too much, maybe he’s just guessing.”

Lin Xi pouted and frowned, “Based on my intuition, he should have really guessed it. And he thinks that my purpose of marrying you is for resources, and coming to this show is also to prepare for entering the entertainment industry. He even wanted to poach me to his studio.”

“You agreed?” Pei Jiashu’s voice became louder.

Lin Xi glared at him dissatisfied, “Keep your voice down, they’re next door. How could I agree? I’m just a little scared. What if the netizens also find out that we’re in a fake marriage?”

“It’s okay, the marriage is fake, but the marriage certificate is real.” Pei Jiashu said from a very unique angle, and Lin Xi didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Lin Xi’s eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a “Sichuan” character, and his face was slightly puffed up due to excessive thinking, like a bunny sulking.

Pei Jiashu’s hands were always faster than his brain. When he reacted, his fingers had already pressed on Lin Xi’s brow, gently rubbing it with his fingertips, smoothing out the “Sichuan” character.

Lin Xi didn’t know why, but he always felt that the air was a little hot, so hot that his chest felt a little stuffy.

He grabbed Pei Jiashu’s hand and took it away, continuing the unfinished topic, “We can’t really mark, can we.”

Pei Jiashu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, “What did you say?”

“We can’t really mark, can we,” Lin Xi scratched his hair irritably, “But only Li Zhijian can tell whether we’ve done it or not, right.”

Lin Xi threw himself directly onto the bed, rolling around on it. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, “Pei Jiashu, what if the netizens find out that we’re in a fake marriage? Won’t your company be affected?”

Pei Jiashu, who was putting away clothes, was shocked. He originally thought that Lin Xi was worried about the fake marriage being discovered because he was afraid that his account would be affected, but he didn’t expect it was because of him.

A place in Pei Jiashu’s heart immediately became soft. He sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed Lin Xi’s hair. Lin Xi’s pink hair, even with careful care, didn’t last more than half a month, but became lighter and lighter, making Lin Xi even whiter.

“The company doesn’t matter.”

His voice was like a layer of honey, low and hoarse, like a lover’s murmur.

Lin Xi slightly raised his eyes, staring at Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu’s hand inserted into Lin Xi’s hair, gently stroking the top of his head, the well-maintained hand brushed past the tip of his ear.

Lin Xi instantly felt half of his body go numb.

He flusteredly shook off Pei Jiashu’s hand, turning his back, not daring to look at Pei Jiashu again.

“I’m, after all, a contracted anchor under your company. If your company has an accident, I will definitely be affected. Don’t be sentimental, and don’t touch me casually.”

The corners of Pei Jiashu’s mouth kept rising, his gaze stopping on the exposed neck of Lin Xi, whose scent glands were covered with patches.

But Pei Jiashu knew that Lin Xi’s scent glands were smooth and clean, without any marks.

An alpha’s temporary mark can remain on Lin Xi’s scent glands for a period of time, while a lifelong mark will leave a permanent tooth mark on the scent glands, announcing the alpha’s ownership.

He quickly looked away and hugged Lin Xi from behind, “We have to pretend to be a real couple now. How can you not even stand this little bit of physical contact? No wonder Li Zhijian recognized that we were in a fake marriage at once.”

Lin Xi grabbed a pillow and smashed it on Pei Jiashu’s head, “Bah, don’t even think about gaslighting me. Why didn’t Jiang Xubai and Chi Qi discover it? It’s because Li Zhijian is too smart.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Pei Jiashu dodged Lin Xi’s pillow attack.

Lin Xi was tired of hitting, released the pillow, and instantly took away a certain hand that had been unwilling to let go of him, “Keep your trotter away from me, there are no cameras filming now!”

“What trotter?” Pei Jiashu stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Lin Xi.

His fingers were slender, but not as fair as Lin Xi’s, and the blood vessels and veins on it were winding from the back of his hand all the way to his arm. His fingers were not that thin either, but full of strength.

If his hand was a trotter, then there might be no other good-looking hands in the world.

But Lin Xi just stubbornly rebelled and wanted to go against Pei Jiashu.

“Your hand is a trotter.” Lin Xi raised his face and said to Pei Jiashu.

But he didn’t expect that in the next second, that very powerful hand would move to his waist, tickling him. Lin Xi immediately laughed out loud, squirming on the bed.

Pei Jiashu clamped Lin Xi’s legs with his legs, not allowing Lin Xi to move. Lin Xi laughed until his face and stomach hurt, and his laughter gradually mixed with gasps and crying.

“I won’t say it anymore, you’re not allowed to tickle anymore, hahahahaha.”

Lin Xi’s face was red from laughing, his eyes were tearful, and his clothes were loose and disheveled, half of his clothes slipped to his shoulder, revealing a clearly visible collarbone.

Pei Jiashu’s breathing suddenly quickened, his movements stopped. He suddenly leaned down, one hand covering half of Lin Xi’s face, the temperature of his cheek transmitted to his hand, burning hot.

“Lin Xi.” Pei Jiashu called Lin Xi in a hoarse voice, Lin Xi’s breathing almost stopped, his eyes widened, looking at Pei Jiashu, who was getting closer and closer to him.

Their breaths met, Lin Xi could feel Pei Jiashu’s slightly warm breath close to the tip of his nose, their noses touching, Pei Jiashu rubbed the tip of Lin Xi’s nose.

Lin Xi couldn’t describe his feelings, his heart seemed to be suddenly clenched by a hand, and his Adam’s apple was as if it was stuck, unable to speak.

His whole body seemed to be fixed on the bed, he could only see Pei Jiashu.

At the moment when Pei Jiashu got closer, Lin Xi closed his eyes, but the temperature he imagined didn’t arrive. Instead, he felt something slightly cool on his forehead.

Lin Xi immediately realized that it was Pei Jiashu’s lips.

Pei Jiashu had already gotten off him when he opened his eyes, and instead went into the bathroom, only hurriedly leaving a sentence, “I’m going to take a shower first.”

Taking a shower at this time seemed to contain a lot of meaning.

Lin Xi looked at the ceiling, covering his forehead.

They have had more intense kisses, kisses that left him breathless, and even had the experience of him being lewdly licked all over.

But at this moment, Lin Xi’s heart was an indescribable throb.

Li Zhijian’s words echoed in his ears. If it wasn’t for entering the entertainment industry, why did they come to participate in this show?

But he didn’t have any plans to enter the entertainment industry. Even if this romance variety show could really bring a little popularity to Pei Jiashu’s company, Pei Jiashu’s company was already a leader in the industry. Did it still need this little popularity?

An answer seemed to be on the verge of coming out.
