Chapter 47
Jiang Yucheng stood by for a while, and when Chi Jing finished his conversation, he returned with a beaming smile.
Seeing Chi Jing return, he lowered his gaze to hide his emotions. “The ice cream has started to melt a bit.”
As soon as he spoke, a fluffy head appeared in his lowered field of view.
Chi Jing bent down and took a bite of the ice cream in his left hand.
“Hmm… Strawberry flavor?”
Jiang Yucheng’s eyes shifted slightly. “Yes.”
“It’s pretty good, hasn’t melted too much.” He changed the subject, “Let’s go ride the Ferris wheel.”
“What?”
“The Ferris wheel.” he waved the ticket in his hand, “The couple in front of us had tickets for both the haunted house and the Ferris wheel. They were discussing giving up the Ferris wheel, so I spoke with them and swapped for their Ferris wheel tickets.”
Jiang Yucheng was stunned. “You were negotiating with him to swap tickets?”
Chi Jing gave him a sidelong glance. “Yes, what did you think I was doing?”
Seeing him deliberately look away, Chi Jing narrowed his eyes. “You weren’t jealous just now, were you?”
Jiang Yucheng quickly replied, “No.”
“Really?” he leaned closer to his side, trying to observe the subtle changes in his expression.
“…” Jiang Yucheng cleared his throat. “Let’s go, the staff has called our number.”
Chi Jing noticed the topic was being shifted and didn’t press further. He simply took the ice cream from his hand. “You’re all talk but no action.”
He had learned this phrase online and thought it was quite fitting for Jiang Yucheng at the moment.
Jiang Yucheng didn’t argue and instead pulled out a tissue from his pocket for him to use under his ice cream-holding hand.
With the new number, Chi Jing boarded the Ferris wheel’s cabin.
As the Ferris wheel slowly rose from the lowest point, the entire amusement park came into view beneath them.
The camera crew didn’t follow up but handed Chi Jing and Jiang Yucheng a self-worn camera.
Chi Jing firmly held the camera, adjusting the lens to show an overview of the amusement park to the viewers.
[So beautiful!]
[Enjoying the Ferris wheel from the office]
[Enjoying the Ferris wheel from bed]
[What were they talking about before getting on the Ferris wheel? Jiang Yucheng and Chi Jing keep removing the audio equipment, so we can see them talking but can’t hear what they’re saying, it’s so frustrating]
[It’s a regular operation. I suspect these two are having a public romance]
[Is this a travel variety show? I thought it was a dating show… ]
[It does seem like a dating show. If An Boqing didn’t miss the recording, this episode should feature three couples!]
[Which three couples?]
[Jiang Yucheng and Chi Jing, Lou Yiwen and Ou’er Bai, Shen Yixing and An Boqing]
[But what about Gan Heyu?]
[Gan Heyu is the officiant]
[Huh? Why did the screen suddenly go black???]
[Why is there no sound again! The screen has disappeared!!!]
As the Ferris wheel continued to rotate, Chi Jing’s cabin gradually approached the highest point.
Jiang Yucheng watched as he placed the camera on the opposite seat and adjusted the lens to focus on the corners of the seat and cabin wall.
“I heard there’s a saying in the human world that you should kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel,” Chi Jing said with his eyes sparkling and unafraid as he stared directly at Jiang Yucheng.
He gestured with his hand. “Come on, kiss me.”
The raised hand was held by Jiang Yucheng, their fingers interlocking.
He was suddenly pulled into his embrace, pressing him against his chest. Without air conditioning, the cabin was very hot in the summer, and their close proximity made the temperature between them rise sharply.
Just as he was about to ask if Jiang Yucheng would kiss him, his lips were firmly sealed.
It was an intensely passionate kiss, and he couldn’t help but hold onto his hand tightly.
As time passed quietly, Jiang Yucheng’s movements gradually softened.
After the kiss, he lightly pecked the corner of Chi Jing’s mouth and asked in a low voice, “Where did you learn about these things?”
Chi Jing mumbled, “Online.”
He lowered his gaze, his heartbeat erratic.
He thought to himself that something must be wrong. As a succubus rather than a human, he shouldn’t experience such a rapid heartbeat.
“What are you spacing out for?” Jiang Yucheng released his hand and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his palm.
“Nothing.”
Once he had calmed down, Chi Jing glanced over and saw him adjusting the camera again and turning the audio equipment back on.
[We can see again!]
[It feels like it’s been a century]
[Sisters! I found the highlight! The Ferris wheel has passed the highest point!]
[Oh, right! Bold guess, did they kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel?]
[Upon close observation, Chi Jing’s cheeks are a bit red, and his lips are a bit swollen…]
[So, the previous sisters might be right]
Chi Jing happened to see the bullet comments on his phone. As they mentioned his flushed cheeks and swollen lips, he instinctively licked his lips.
Is it… swollen?
He composed himself and said lightly to Jiang Yucheng, “The comments say we keep turning off the audio equipment and camera.”
Jiang Yucheng asked, “And?”
Chi Jing, with a mischievous grin, said, “So when we enter the haunted house later, we definitely won’t give the viewers the most authentic audio and video.”
Jiang Yucheng: …
[???]
[Damn it, I quickly muted and covered my phone, afraid I might scream in front of the boss]
[Don’t go too far!!!]
[Alright, I love haunted houses, let me experience the real fear from a first-person perspective]
[Those who aren’t afraid of ghosts are weird, sob sob sob]
Chi Jing did as he said, holding the camera at the front line while guiding the viewers through the most authentic scares of the haunted house.
Coincidentally, when he just exited the haunted house, he ran into Lou Yiwen and Ou’er Bai, who had come out from another exit.
Lou Yiwen, with a pale face, was squatting next to a resting chair under a tree, while Ou’er Bai was handing her tissues and water.
Chi Jing immediately abandoned Jiang Yucheng and walked over. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” she adjusted her sunglasses and said, “Just that someone is too weak, ran through most of the haunted house chased by ghosts, and got exhausted.”
Lou Yiwen, supporting herself against the tree, stood up despite her trembling legs and yanked off Ou’er Bai’s sunglasses, revealing her swollen and tearful eyes.
“Stop pretending, your eyes are all swollen from crying. If it weren’t for your weak legs, you would’ve run faster than me.”
Ou’er Bai: …
Chi Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud in front of them.
Lou Yiwen immediately turned to him. “What are you laughing at? Now the trending topics on Weibo are all discussing what you and Jiang Yucheng did at the top of the Ferris wheel. When you two get back, your manager will probably blow up your phones.”
Chi Jing shrugged. “It doesn’t matter, my manager already knows.”
Lou Yiwen: “Knows what?”
“That Jiang Yucheng and I are dating.” he said nonchalantly. “Besides, what can couples do on the Ferris wheel? The reason we turned off the audio and camera was to avoid the live stream being banned.”
Ou’er Bai fell silent again.
Behind Chi Jing, Jiang Yucheng’s breathing had become slightly more rapid.
The next moment, he laughed to himself, gently wrapping his arm around Chi Jing’s shoulders. “Yes, Xu Meng already knew.”
Or rather, Xu Meng knew before Mu Jingshan did.
Lou Yiwen was momentarily surprised but quickly reacted and congratulated them.
Ou’er Bai, who could match Lou Yiwen in banter, was not far behind in reaction.
“Congratulations to both of you. When is the wedding?”
Chi Jing: “That will have to wait.”
Jiang Yucheng’s gaze was solely on him. “Yes, that’s right.”
At this moment, the bullet comments had completely covered the screen.
[Ahhhhh, they’re really together!!!]
[Oh my gosh, a public romance live stream!]
[I knew they were a couple! Jiang Yucheng’s look at Chi Jing is so sweet it could be dripping honey]
[Betting that this will trend within ten minutes]
[The five-minute disappearance of the Ferris wheel has yet to trend, and now this is trending, impressive]
[Jiang Yucheng’s remaining stubborn female fans can finally break down, I’m going to take screenshots and enjoy the show, hehe]
[My classmates are wiping their tears, I’m dying of laughter]
[I’m also wiping tears, sob sob sob, my Chi Jing wife, the first male fox spirit I discovered in entertainment, how is he already taken so quickly]
[Male fox spirit taken, hahaha, I’m dying of laughter]
[So laggy, don’t crash the live stream]
Network issue, please re-enter the live stream…
After another ten minutes, as Chi Jing exited the amusement park, he received a WeChat message from Mu Jingshan.
[Mu Jingshan: Alright, alright! Congratulations on breaking the variety show live stream and now breaking Weibo. Now the whole world is discussing your relationship]
[Mu Jingshan: Yang Qianhu is actually laughing in the office about Jiang Yucheng getting his way so quickly! No one has ever cared about my well-being!]
[Mu Jingshan: Ahhh, how am I supposed to live now! You could have at least given me a heads-up! Did you want me to work myself to death with overtime?]
Chi Jing moved his fingers.
[Chi Jing: I’ll cover your car loan and mortgage]
[Mu Jingshan: But this overtime can’t be avoided. Boss, what do you want me to do about it?]
[Chi Jing: Up to you. By the way, you can ask Xu Meng for her opinion. She might work overtime with you.]
[Mu Jingshan: Thanks, but Xu Meng has already clocked out]
[Chi Jing: Double the bonus]
[Mu Jingshan: Boss, just focus on your romance! I’ll take care of the rest!]
After joking with him, Chi Jing promptly transferred the promised bonus to him.
After doing this, Shen Yixing, exhausted, appeared in front of him and weakly greeted him.
“Hi, I’m done.”
Chi Jing handed him an unopened bottle of water. Shen Yixing thanked him with a smile and drank the whole bottle in one go.
“I’m exhausted. Lu Tao really isn’t a good person.”
On the way back, everyone listened to his loud complaints about various people and bizarre incidents, including the self-seeking guest stars, strange encounters on the road, a furry and flamboyant beauty, a muscle-bound man, and a blonde woman who wanted a fling with him, among others.
As they listened to his complaints, they returned to the manor.
In the midst of Lou Yiwen and Ou’er Bai’s teasing, the group entered the manor’s living room and stopped in their tracks.
Chi Jing looked at his father, Chi Yu, sitting on the sofa, and sighed inwardly.
“Dad, what are you doing here?”
