SM Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Extra 6 (Reality Show 4)

That night, Ye Lai slept soundly in Sheng Mingqian’s arms. The next day, he was awakened by the sound of the waves. When he woke up, his forehead was against Sheng Mingqian’s chest, his palm was on his stomach, and his feet were clasped between Sheng Mingqian’s legs.

His whole body, inside and out, was warm. It was so comfortable that he didn’t want to open his eyes, he just wanted to lie like this forever.

There were no cameras while they were sleeping. Ye Lai curled his fingers and scratched Sheng Mingqian’s stomach, his nails lightly grazing his skin, like tickling.

At his movement, Sheng Mingqian’s body tensed, and he hugged the person in his arms tighter, stirring awake.

“Awake?” He asked, his voice still a little hoarse.

“Not awake,” Ye Lai replied.

Sheng Mingqian laughed, “You’re not awake, yet you can answer my questions.”

“I’m talking in my sleep,” Ye Lai’s hand continued to make trouble, scratching and then pinching.

Sheng Mingqian pressed down on Ye Lai’s wrist through the clothes, “Stop moving.”

Ye Lai laughed, the sound of the waves rolling in from afar mingled with Ye Lai’s laughter, burning away Sheng Mingqian’s pent-up desire. The strength in his hand increased slightly.

Ye Lai was held too tightly, and when his leg moved, it brushed against something hard. He immediately stopped moving, after all, they were filming a show outside, and although there were no cameras at the moment, the tent still let in light and wind.

Under his palm, Sheng Mingqian’s lower abdomen was hard with muscle, rising and falling with his breath. Ye Lai, worried that he would lose control, said first, “The show will be over this afternoon.”

“Then we’ll wait until tonight,” Sheng Mingqian’s breathing became heavier.

Apart from the few days of filming the show, they hadn’t scheduled any other work recently. Sheng Mingqian had planned it before they came, renting a house by the sea from the local islanders through the director team. They would stay on the island for a few more days after filming, and not return home with the director team.

Ye Lai was equally aroused by Sheng Mingqian’s words, “tonight.”

At seven o’clock in the morning, the director team woke up each group of guests on time.

The task for the third day was for each group of guests to separate and prepare gifts for each other within the area marked out by the director team on the island. The other party would then start a “desert island treasure hunt” based on the clues.

After breakfast, they were separated, starting with makeup.

Ye Lai didn’t know if the other two groups of guests knew what they were preparing for each other before this segment, but he and Sheng Mingqian really didn’t know what the other was preparing.

It wasn’t that Ye Lai could restrain himself, it was that Sheng Mingqian could restrain himself.

What Ye Lai had prepared was the director’s cut of their movie, a cut that only Sheng Mingqian could see. Ye Lai suspected that Sheng Mingqian already knew this, which was why he was unwilling to exchange information with him.

At the same time, Ye Lai’s heart was pounding like a deer, anticipating the unknown that Sheng Mingqian would give him.

After receiving this segment, Sheng Mingqian had been mysterious for several days, constantly on the phone, and often returning to the room late at night.

Ye Lai was really curious, and pestered Sheng Mingqian several times to ask, but each time Sheng Mingqian blocked him with the sentence, “You have to follow the game rules.”

The more Sheng Mingqian didn’t tell him, the more Ye Lai’s heart itched.

After getting their makeup done, the six people each took a clue card and an island map, and began their search.

Before, he was always with Sheng Mingqian, but this time Ye Lai was alone. Feeling bored, he kept trying to start conversations with the cameraman and the director following them.

“I don’t know how things are going with the others, can you give me a sneak peek? I’m so curious,” Ye Lai asked sincerely.

The cameraman only filmed and didn’t speak, and the director following them just smiled and said that he would definitely know today.

The clue in Ye Lai’s hand was a photo, a photo of Hermosa flowers.

Not one flower, not a bunch, but a large field of them, filling the whole photo.

“So, I have to find Hermosa flowers on this island, right?” Ye Lai said to himself, looking at the photo.

“But there’s only this one clue and a map. Although the map marks out the area, it’s still too big.”

The Director said, “Teacher Ye, don’t worry, there’s plenty of time today.”

The island was mainly divided into four areas: the island’s coconut grove, the coastline, the beach, and the islanders’ residential area.

After walking only a few steps, Ye Lai ran into some island residents. Ye Lai held up the photo and ran over to ask them.

The islanders looked at the photo in his hand, chattering something. Ye Lai pointed at the photo and gestured, asking if they had seen this kind of flower.

There were no Hermosa flowers on the island. If there were, they must have been brought in from outside, and perhaps someone would have seen them.

But to no avail, and Ye Lai seemed to have received…

Blessings?

“The islanders are really enthusiastic,” Ye Lai muttered to the director next to him, “They send blessings to everyone they see first.”

The director echoed, “They are enthusiastic.”

At ten o’clock in the morning, the progress of the other two groups had already reached Ye Lai’s ears.

Qin Zeyang and Ou Le were making up for the regrets of 20 years ago, 20 years later.

Man Wenxuan and Feng Hongyang were going for a funny and relaxed style, exposing each other’s shortcomings and having the most fun.

Those two groups obviously knew each other. Ye Lai cursed in his heart, Sheng Mingqian, that idiot, was the only one following the game rules.

He tried his best to hint at him with his eyes in the morning, but he didn’t even get a hint.

The sun overhead was too intense. Ye Lai sat under a coconut tree to cool off, holding a fan he had scavenged from the director team and fanning himself.

“Teacher Ye, it’s almost noon now, we can rest for a while and continue later,” the director said.

“It’s only ten thirty,” Ye Lai glanced at the time.

“It’s hot,” the director pointed at the sun, and then beckoned the cameraman to sit down as well, and rest with Ye Lai.

Ye Lai sensed something was wrong. According to the director team’s filming schedule, it was the last day, and they would definitely want to film more material.

Today, however, it was abnormal. Following him all morning, they didn’t seem anxious, not anxious to film now, and not anxious about the material…

They had been working enthusiastically for the first two days, it was impossible for them to give up at the end. Moreover, Ye Lai had roughly understood these days that the director following their group was a very serious person.

Then there was only one possibility, there must be more explosive material waiting for them later.

Without a cell phone, Ye Lai couldn’t contact Sheng Mingqian. He tilted his neck and looked at the sun, wondering what Sheng Mingqian was doing.

After resting for half an hour, the director must have received some instructions in his earpiece, and slapped the cameraman on the shoulder.

“Let’s get to work,”

If Ye Lai wasn’t mistaken, the two of them looked excited?

After a whole morning, they were finally starting to work properly.

—

—

It was almost noon, but Ye Lai still hadn’t found the Hermosa flowers, or anything related to them.

Before he could think too much, he was taken to the makeup room by the director team, who said that it was too hot, he had sweated too much, and his collar was wet, so he needed to change his clothes, otherwise it might affect the filming effect.

In the makeup room, the staff quickly fixed Ye Lai’s hair, and then brought over a set of clothes to change into.

Ye Lai wasn’t mistaken, it was a well-made, unbranded haute couture suit, with a shirt and leather shoes, as if he was about to attend a grand ceremony.

Even more exquisite than that.

Ye Lai didn’t think much, and took the clothes into the dressing room.

He didn’t lock the dressing room door. The moment he straightened up after putting on the clothes, the door behind him was opened.

Ye Lai heard a creak, and when he looked up, there was another person in the huge dressing mirror in front of him.

Sheng Mingqian seemed to have descended from the sky, wearing the same suit as him, his hair neatly combed, holding a large bouquet of Hermosa flowers in his left hand.

He didn’t let him continue searching, he had come.

From the moment Ye Lai’s eyes met Sheng Mingqian’s in the mirror, a possibility that he had been ignoring suddenly jumped out.

He also understood those secretive phone calls Sheng Mingqian had made some time ago, and his good mood before coming to film the show.

Sheng Mingqian was waiting, waiting for now.

So was he.

Sheng Mingqian was stunned for a moment in the mirror, his breathing unsteady. Ye Lai in the mirror, the beautiful face initially showed surprise, but that surprise was fleeting, followed by the same emotions as him.

Mutual understanding, perhaps that was the safest and most secure feeling between lovers.

Sheng Mingqian stepped forward, Ye Lai took the flowers in his hand, Sheng Mingqian buttoned the last button for Ye Lai, and pinned the corsage on Ye Lai’s chest, the red background with gold letters, writing the words “Groom.”

“I’ve thought about many kinds of wedding scenes, in the forest, on the prairie, in the middle of the sea, in a church, just the two of us, or with family and friends, simple, low-key…”

Sheng Mingqian fiddled with Ye Lai’s hair in front of his forehead, “But those don’t seem to be enough. I didn’t discuss it with you in advance this time, it was my own decision, because I want to tell the world so much, I want to tell everyone, my marriage partner, my lover, my love, his name is Ye Lai…”

Ye Lai’s eyes were red, and he turned his head to look at Sheng Mingqian, “I want people to know too.”

The door of the makeup room opened, and a long corridor filled with Hermosa flowers was full of people. The islanders made the same “blessing gesture” to them as they had done for the past two days.

Ye Lai thought, so their blessings were because of today.

There were too many cameramen from the director team to count, Man Wenxuan whistled, and Qin Zeyang congratulated them.

After a congratulation, the remaining congratulations were like waves, each one louder than the last.

In addition to the people from the director team and the island residents, the end of the corridor was also full of people, Sheng Mingqian’s parents, Ye Lai’s friends, Sheng Mingqian’s friends, all watching them at the end of the corridor.

Xiao Yu and several children, wearing small formal dresses, stumbled over, carrying flower baskets in their hands, walking beside them, laughing and giggling, shouting “Married, married.”

Everyone had come.

Sheng Mingqian was showing off to everyone.

Ye Lai took Sheng Mingqian’s arm and walked forward steadily.

Ye Lai didn’t know how Sheng Mingqian had done all this so secretly, when he was with him every day.

Sheng Mingqian had already done so much, he only needed to take his arm and walk forward…

He was his fantasy at nineteen, and he had taken the fantasy down. At this moment, he was by his side, completely and perfectly fulfilled.

Like reaching out to get the moon in the sky

But how can the moon in the sky be reached?

It was the moon also running towards him…
