Final Chapter
Because they had to continue filming the show the next day, Pei Jiashu and Lin Xi got up early. Lin Xi’s body ached all over, and his throat felt like he had swallowed razor blades, unusually hoarse.
He struggled to open his eyes, only to see Pei Jiashu next to him staring at him with vigor.
Lin Xi resentfully clenched his fist and gently punched Pei Jiashu’s chest. Pei Jiashu looked at him with a smile, even holding Lin Xi’s hand and kissing it.
Pei Jiashu got up first and went to the bathroom to wash up. Lin Xi touched the back of his neck, where there was a newly scabbed tooth mark.
Although it was only a temporary mark, Lin Xi could clearly feel that from behind the wall, Pei Jiashu was emitting a faint mint fragrance. This fragrance pulled at him, not like the alluring scent of an alpha to an omega before marking, but more like a locator, telling you he was right there.
Lin Xi’s heart stirred, and he saw Pei Jiashu suddenly come out of the bathroom, still brushing his teeth, only showing his head.
“Xiao Xi…”
Lin Xi gazed at Pei Jiashu. It seemed they no longer needed many words to understand what the other wanted to express.
Pei Jiashu held up another toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed on it and shook it at Lin Xi, “Come on down.”
“Oh.” Lin Xi rubbed his lower back and got out of bed.
Because of the pheromones’ influence, Lin Xi simply wanted to be with Pei Jiashu all the time.
During the meal, Pei’s father immediately noticed something was off between the two of them, looking at them with a smile. His usually stern face couldn’t help but break into a smile at this moment.
After the meal, the two went straight to the airport to catch their flight. Even though it was only a little over an hour’s drive, Lin Xi still felt sore and achy. Pei Jiashu kept massaging his waist on the way.
There were no arrangements this morning, and most people were resting in their rooms. Hearing the commotion of Lin Xi and the others returning, they all went to the living room.
Ke Yun was the first to come up and ask, “Have you solved your problems?”
Lin Xi nodded. Ke Yun breathed a sigh of relief, “Yesterday, when you two suddenly left, I was almost scared to death when I saw that trending search. Luckily, you two are still okay.”
Lin Xi and Pei Jiashu exchanged a look, the sweetness in their eyes impossible to hide.
Li Zhijian leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, swept his gaze over Lin Xi and Pei Jiashu, and said with a light laugh, “Not just okay, I think they are truly deeply in love now.”
Ke Yun also teased them, scrutinizing them and the hands they had been holding since they entered.
His gaze was so fervent that Lin Xi released Pei Jiashu’s hand as if burned and sat next to Li Zhijian, saying shyly, “Brother Zhijian, please don’t tease me.”
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Pei Jiashu was already sitting next to Lin Xi like glue.
Li Zhijian stood up from the sofa and walked to Sheng Yan’s side, “Well, I better not be a third wheel in front of you two.”
Lin Xi turned his head and glared at Pei Jiashu with no threatening power. Pei Jiashu was very pleased, only finding his wife so cute even when glaring.
Ke Yun cautiously moved to them and asked, “Brother Pei, Xiao Xi, were you two really in a fake marriage before?”
The use of the word “also” was very subtle. Lin Xi looked at Ke Yun gossipingly. The other openly fake married couple present was none other than Ke Yun and Wei Qian, and since that drunken day, things had become strange between the two of them.
Everything had already been said on the live stream yesterday. Lin Xi now admitted generously, “We were in a fake marriage before. We signed an agreement to divorce after five years.”
“No divorce.” Pei Jiashu held Lin Xi’s hand, like a robot triggered by a keyword, looking at Lin Xi jealously.
Lin Xi perfunctorily patted Pei Jiashu’s head, “No divorce.”
He turned back to Ke Yun and said, “Don’t look at him like this now, he used to be so bossy towards me! We used to argue all the time. I liked him in high school because I thought he was gentle, had good grades, and was handsome, but after getting married, I realized it wasn’t like that at all.”
The others in the living room all stretched their ears to listen, especially Ke Yun standing in front of Lin Xi, watching Lin Xi with unblinking eyes.
“He has a terrible temper, likes to argue with me, and I was often inexplicably scolded by him at home. Moreover, he grabs my weaknesses like a cat grabbing a mouse, threatening me at every turn!”
“He’s also very awkward. Don’t look at him being so direct now, he used to be so stubborn that he wouldn’t say a single nice word.”
“But luckily, we are doing well now.”
Lin Xi turned back and held Pei Jiashu’s hand. Everyone present couldn’t help but “ooh” and held their own wife or husband’s hand to avoid being fed dog food.
Pei Jiashu didn’t feel anything wrong about Lin Xi exposing his shortcomings in front of others, and instead said, “It was Lin Xi who made me gradually become who I am now.”
But Pei Jiashu thought again and asked Lin Xi, “So, do you like the way I pretended to be, or do you like me now?”
Lin Xi was stunned, discovering that Pei Jiashu was really persistent about this question.
He squeezed Pei Jiashu’s hand, “Of course it’s the real you. No matter what you are like, I like you.”
Ke Yun thoughtfully looked back at Wei Qian standing behind him. Their eyes met, and he immediately avoided Wei Qian’s gaze.
Ever since Pei Jiashu and Lin Xi had cleared things up, Pei Jiashu had simply become his big pendant. The contrast in this man after falling in love was too great, but it was similar to when he was in his estrus period.
Lin Xi often couldn’t resist Pei Jiashu’s coquetry. As long as Pei Jiashu softened his voice and said something in Lin Xi’s ear, Lin Xi would immediately agree as if possessed.
As a result, he had been singing all night these past few days, and his kidneys were almost exhausted.
On the last day of the program, Jiang Xubai suggested that everyone get together for one last hot pot meal. Everyone went to the supermarket to buy ingredients separately.
“This is our last meal, sob, I can’t bear to part with you guys.” Not knowing who started it, wails suddenly began at the restaurant table, and the scene was once difficult to control.
Li Zhijian tore Lin Xi off of him and pushed him into Pei Jiashu’s arms, “Alright, alright, you’re talking like it’s a last meal before execution.”
Lin Xi really squeezed out a few tears, which were swirling in his eyes. Hearing Li Zhijian’s words, he couldn’t help but smile wryly, and big tears flowed down his cheeks.
Li Zhijian took a tissue and wiped Lin Xi’s face, “Since you can’t bear to part with me so much, then just come to my studio after the program ends, right?”
“No way.” Before Lin Xi could answer, Pei Jiashu pulled Lin Xi to his side, while winking at Sheng Yan next to Li Zhijian.
Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows and started watching the fun with Li Zhijian.
Li Zhijian looked at Pei Jiashu provocatively, “President Pei, this is my husband. If you want to boss him around, give me money first.”
“Lin Xi is still my wife. If you want him to go to your studio, you have to give me money too.” Pei Jiashu said.
Li Zhijian: “President Pei, this is different. I’m the boss in my family. Of course, you have to give me money if you want Sheng Yan to work for you. Are you the boss in your family too?”
Lin Xi understood what Li Zhijian meant and looked back at Pei Jiashu, waiting for Pei Jiashu’s answer.
Pei Jiashu was under pressure from three sides, and his good brother suddenly defected, “That’s right, Brother Pei, who is the boss in your family?”
Seeing that Pei Jiashu hadn’t spoken for a long time, Lin Xi’s eyes narrowed. Pei Jiashu grabbed Lin Xi’s hand and quickly said, “Of course my wife is the boss in our family, except for things like wanting a divorce or going to someone else’s company.”
Lin Xi’s face was almost split to the sky when he heard Pei Jiashu’s words, “Our family matters are discussed between the two of us. He’s smarter, so I usually listen to him.”
Li Zhijian, who was sitting on the side, sighed and poked Lin Xi’s head, “Alright, little love brain. I originally wanted to poach you to our studio from the beginning, but since you two are truly in love, then I wish you happiness and fulfillment in the future.”
Lin Xi rubbed his head and said with a grin, “Thank you, Li beauty, love you (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~”
Lin Xi stretched out his arms towards Li Zhijian, wanting to hug him, but before he could hug him, he was pulled back to the stool by the person next to him.
Pei Jiashu said jealously, “Your husband isn’t dead yet.”
Lin Xi shyly touched his head, wanting to say something nice to comfort Pei Jiashu, but when he saw everyone was looking at them with smiles, Lin Xi couldn’t say it.
Li Zhijian still had to tease him at this time, “Lin Xi baby, I love you too.”
Being called “baby” by such a beauty as Li Zhijian, Lin Xi’s face flushed rapidly. He buried his face on the table, and he was about to evaporate.
Sheng Yan leaned on Li Zhijian’s shoulder socket and called out jealously, “Zhi Zhi.”
Li Zhijian only wanted to tease Lin Xi and Pei Jiashu, but he didn’t expect to cause his little dog to be jealous. He held Sheng Yan’s hand, “Okay, I won’t tease anyone anymore.”
Only then did Pei Jiashu move his gaze away from the two of them.
Everyone ate for a long time, reminiscing about the short month-long trip at the dinner table.
“Although it’s only been a month, I want to thank everyone, thank Brother Zhijian and Brother Sheng Yan for always giving me advice on my relationship; and Bai Bai and Chi Qi, you told me that quarreling is also a way to express emotions; and Ke Yun and Brother Wei Qian, thank you for accompanying me to make candied hawthorns, I hope you two can cherish the people in front of you.”
Lin Xi didn’t drink today, but he still felt like he was drunk, and he had to say what was in his heart. Although he felt a little affected, he still thanked everyone.
“And my most important person – Pei Jiashu, you say that I taught you how to love, but you were once the leader of my life, the beacon that guided me through every darkest moment in my life.”
“I love you.”
Lin Xi finally said what he was too embarrassed to say just now, taking advantage of the atmosphere.
Pei Jiashu sitting next to him also didn’t expect that Lin Xi, who was so thin-skinned, could confess to him in front of so many people.
“Kiss one, kiss one!” The others started to boo.
Pei Jiashu said shyly, “Don’t make a fuss.”
But Lin Xi really acted like he had drunk fake alcohol, grabbed Pei Jiashu’s collar and kissed him, and then shyly covered it up, “It’s just a kiss, why are you so long-winded.”
“I’ll show you what long-winded means tonight.”
“Then let’s not.”
