One Pet Gets Married

Chapter 31

In hindsight, she really shouldn't have clicked on that fanfiction! Song Xici cowered in Tang You'an's embrace like a coward, wishing she could slap her past self several times.

Serves you right for being nosy!

This won't do... Song Xici squeezed her eyes shut, trying to play the Great Compassion Mantra by Master Yin Neng in her mind. However, it had little effect. Before long, the mantra's sound was once again overtaken by the words from that steamy fanfiction.

Good heavens... Song Xici's mouth twitched.

Meanwhile, Tang You'an felt her body growing increasingly hot, but she didn't want to make Song Xici move away to sleep on her own, so she could only endure. Before long, her back was damp with sweat.

Finally, though neither knew exactly what time it was, the two of them gradually, stiffly fell asleep.

The next day.

Tang You'an was again the first to wake up.

She had almost no habit of sleeping in, being the type of person who was extremely disciplined in everything she did. Even when she lived alone in the mountains before, she would make a schedule of what to do from morning to night and complete everything on it.

But Song Xici was different. Back in university, one winter, she and Meng Meng practically hibernated in their dorm. Sometimes they were too lazy to even attend classes, asking classmates to answer roll call for them, while they wrapped themselves in blankets watching dramas and ordering takeout, whiling away their youth.

So while Tang You'an remained energetic for this show, Song Xici felt like she had shed a layer of skin.

Due to yesterday's overwhelming workload, Song Xici felt out of sorts all over. Her back and wrists were sore and painful. When she woke up, her whole being was in a daze.

The countryside had poor signal. As an internet-addicted girl, Song Xici's first instinct upon opening her eyes was to grab her phone to browse Weibo and surf the internet. But after the loading icon spun for ages without the page loading, Song Xici put down her phone with a sigh, giving up.

Today was another day of homesickness.

The already-awake Tang You'an beside her behaved completely differently. To Tang You'an, phones seemed truly dispensable. She had already started leaving her phone lying around carelessly not long after arriving here. Moreover, though it had been over two months since she last did those things, her body was still a bit sore, but within an acceptable range.

While people in other rooms were struggling between getting up or sleeping a bit longer, Tang You'an had already walked out the door, standing in the courtyard, scooping up handfuls of grain to scatter on the ground to feed the chickens.

Everyone who opened their doors with bedhead and walked towards the kitchen gave a thumbs up to Tang You'an feeding chickens in the center of the courtyard. This should have been a scene of a beauty feeding chickens, but now everyone felt it was more like a werewolf feeding chickens.

"Yesterday was really terrifying. Who knows what will happen today..." Wang Chengxu said, walking to Tang You'an's side with a broom after brushing his teeth and washing his face, sweeping the trash in the courtyard.

"Yeah... Just thinking about it is a bit scary. I'll never listen to my manager's sweet talk again. Saying farming is fake and we're really here for sightseeing... As if!" Xia Jing passing by also complained.

"I actually think it's not bad. After playing all day yesterday, I finally stretched my muscles and felt refreshed." Tang You'an said, turning around after finishing feeding the chickens.

"Played all day?" Wang Chengxu was stunned. "Bro, are you sure you don't mean we worked all day?"

After yesterday's interactions, Wang Chengxu had started calling Tang You'an "bro" directly, even though she looked quite feminine.

"I think it's fine, not that tiring." Tang You'an said with a smile, then carried the grain container into the kitchen.

Wang Chengxu couldn't help but mutter: "Big bro is formidable."

Finally, after Song Xici got up and finished washing, and they both did their product placement for Q Dream skincare, they sat down with everyone in the main hall.

Just as Tang You'an was about to open the porridge provided by the production team, the task card was passed to her from behind her shoulder.

So Tang You'an put down the porridge package and took the task card, opening it.

"Hello, guests. The day after tomorrow is the birthday of an old grandmother in the village named Qi Meixue. Because her relatives are not by her side and have been out of contact for a long time, the grandmother hasn't properly celebrated her birthday for many years. So the production team has decided to have everyone work together to hold a heartwarming birthday party for her. You will have two days to prepare for this." Tang You'an read in one breath, then let out a small sigh.

"For the birthday party, you need to prepare the following ten dishes: white-cooked meat, sweet potato and steamed pork, kelp stewed with cured pork ribs, spicy pepper fried with cured sausage, braised crucian carp, sour radish and old duck soup, tomato braised beef brisket, sour cabbage with meat slices, sautéed potato, eggplant and green pepper, and stir-fried crown daisy. In addition to preparing a table full of delicious food for the grandmother, you also need to decorate the house to create a festive atmosphere (decoration materials will be provided by the production team). After completing all tasks, you will receive a reward of 600 yuan and a mysterious gift." Tang You'an finished reading and looked up at everyone.

"A mysterious gift?! What could it be?!" Ma Qing heard this and seemed a bit excited. "Could it be that we'll be able to live in a house like the village chief's? After all, we're currently living in the most run-down place in the village."

"I think that's unlikely..." Jin Yawen raised her eyebrows slightly.

"We must do well this time! It shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Feng Xiaoxiao said happily. "It's just cooking a meal and decorating a house, isn't it?"

"Xiaoxiao, are you serious? Do you realize how many dishes we need to prepare, and they're mostly meat dishes. Do we have enough money?" Ning Yu asked worriedly.

"Yeah, where are we going to get so much money?" Xia Jing spoke up. "How much funds do we have left?"

"After deducting the cost of buying vegetables last night, we have 182.30 yuan left." Jin Yawen said.

"When I went shopping with my mom, just a small amount of ribs cost over 20 yuan. Cured ribs should be even more expensive..." Wang Chengxu said it would be difficult.

So Tang You'an thought for a moment and asked the staff member beside her: "Can we use our own money to buy things on WeChat?"

"Dream on------" the production team replied.

Hearing this, Liu Nan chuckled: "Isn't that just wishful thinking, haha..."

Tang You'an was also stunned for a moment, with countless question marks seemingly rotating above her head.

"Then let's stew Liu Nan. Liu Nan, beef brisket." Song Xici joked.

"No, no, no..." Liu Nan hurriedly waved his hands. "My meat is too tough. Who would be responsible if it chokes the grandmother?"

"Haha, then let's first see which ingredients we can only buy outside, and which we can get directly in the village." Song Xici said after laughing, taking the task card from Tang You'an's hand. "I guess we should be able to get these vegetables directly from the village. We already have sausages and chicken, but pork belly with skin, lean pork, ribs, crucian carp, and beef brisket might be trickier. Anyway, let's ask around. Also, if we can get vegetables by doing work, then let's just work for them. We should save money where we can. What do you think?"

"Agreed." So everyone raised their hands.

"Then let's divide the work. First, we'll leave one group responsible for our meals today. Of the remaining four groups, three will be responsible for obtaining the ingredients needed for several dishes in the village, as Xici said, trying to work for them if possible rather than buying directly. Then the ingredients that all three groups can't get will be listed for the fourth group to purchase in town." Tang You'an said. "After completing their tasks, everyone should come back to discuss how to decorate for the birthday party."

"Okay!"

Everyone responded quite decisively to this proposal.

So after eating, it was finally decided that Tang You'an and Song Xici would be responsible for going to town to shop, as everyone unanimously agreed that these two were thoughtful and probably good at bargaining.

Then Jin Yawen gave them 150 yuan, and the remaining money was divided equally among the other three groups.

After the groups split up to work, by around ten in the morning, Tang You'an and Song Xici received the shopping list for the items they needed to buy.

"So we need to go to town to buy duck, beef brisket, kelp, and fresh pork ribs, right?" Song Xici looked at Tang You'an.

"Yes, that's all." Tang You'an nodded.

"Then let's eat something quickly and go." Song Xici clapped her hands, putting a balloon she had just blown up and tied on the ground before walking over to Tang You'an.

They were really making the most of every minute, neither of them having rested at all.

"Alright." Tang You'an nodded as well.

Afterwards, the two quickly ate a piece of cut sausage with a bowl of vegetables and two bowls of rice before heading out.

"Come back early!" Ning Yu, who was cutting paper decorations, called out to them.

"Okay, okay!" Song Xici turned back to respond.

"Director, can't we use the production team's car?" Song Xici thought for a while after reaching the small courtyard gate, then stood beside the director, rubbing her hands and pointing at the van nearby.

"No." the director said mercilessly.

"Alright." Song Xici nodded and sighed.

"Let's go, You'an. Put this on your head." Song Xici finally walked to the mini electric scooter, picked up a helmet and handed it to Tang You'an.

"Oh." Tang You'an took it and put it on her head. "The production team is really stingy. They won't even lend us a car."

"Isn't that right..." Song Xici also looked resentful.

Then Song Xici straddled the electric scooter, and Tang You'an sat behind her. Song Xici drove the scooter while Tang You'an opened the Gaode navigation app to guide them. Actually, there wasn't much need for guidance since there were hardly any intersections.

Song Xici hadn't ridden an electric scooter in a long time, and with the mountain roads being full of potholes and very uneven, plus the scooter's low power, she rode with a completely bewildered expression.

The scooter swayed back and forth on the journey, getting stuck here and there. Tang You'an also swayed along with the scooter, her gaze vacant.

"This thing moves so slowly..." Tang You'an mumbled during the trip.

"Can't be helped. It's still faster than walking." Song Xici said helplessly.

"It would be faster if I used qinggong..." Tang You'an continued to mutter.

Hearing this, Song Xici's face froze. She wanted to cover Tang You'an's mouth but didn't dare to while riding. In the end, she could only laugh it off and frantically hint: "What qinggong? Have you been watching too many period dramas lately? Really..."

Qinggong indeed, how come she'd never seen her use it?!

"Really, although it's not as exaggerated as in dramas, it's still better than this. My master even praised me, and yesterday that cameraman couldn't keep up with me..." Tang You'an continued.

Indeed, yesterday Tang You'an had really given the cameraman a hard time. Her one step was equivalent to several steps for the cameraman, and her jumping ability was astonishing. The cameraman asked if she did parkour, but she was puzzled—what was parkour? She didn't understand.

Song Xici listened with a head full of black lines, finally changing the subject: "When we get to town, we'll have to haggle like crazy, otherwise the money definitely won't be enough!"

"Okay!" Tang You'an nodded.

Finally, after about forty minutes of bumpy riding, they arrived in the small town.

This small town was the one they had passed through the day before yesterday. It wasn't big, but it wasn't too small either. It looked a bit like a development in a corner of a city, though it was kept quite clean.

Upon arrival, after asking a few people, Tang You'an and Song Xici walked into a vegetable market.

Perhaps because it was already noon, there weren't many people in the market, neither sellers nor buyers. After all, most people who buy groceries do so in the morning.

After wandering around, they stopped in front of a shop selling chickens and ducks. Tang You'an asked the shopkeeper: "Do you have any old ducks for sale?"

The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man wearing a black down jacket and an apron, his face full of fleshy folds.

"Yes, yes! These are all old ducks!" The shopkeeper glanced at Tang You'an and Song Xici, then at the camera beside them. Confirming that these two fair-skinned girls must be those pampered celebrities who had never done a day's work, he pointed at a cage nearby. "Thirty yuan per jin!"

"You're lying." Tang You'an said after squatting down to press and prod the ducks.

"Hey, little girl, how am I lying?" The shopkeeper tilted his head, looking at her.

"These ducks have shiny, soft feathers, their bills aren't hard, and their feet have no calluses. None of these traits match those of old ducks. These are clearly young ducks." Tang You'an stood up, dusting off her hands.

Impressive. Although Song Xici had known Tang You'an for a while now, she was still startled by her knowledge. She had to admit, participating in this show had made her realize just how much Tang You'an knew about various things.

"That's right, he's a liar! Girls, come to my shop. I have real old ducks!" At this moment, a woman from the neighboring shop waved at Tang You'an and Song Xici.

"Then let's go take a look over there." Tang You'an said to Song Xici, then immediately ran over.

So Song Xici followed.

"Ah..." The male shopkeeper reached out to try to keep them, but ended up scratching his head.

"Look, these are all old ducks. Which one do you want?" The female shopkeeper welcomed them in, pointing at a cage of ducks and asking with a smile.

Tang You'an squatted down to examine them for a while, then nodded: "These ducks are indeed good. How much per jin?"

"Thirty yuan." the female shopkeeper said with a smile.

"How many jin is this one approximately?" Tang You'an pointed at one she had her eye on.

"Probably about three and a half jin. Let me weigh it for you." the female shopkeeper said, then opened the cage, pulled out that duck, hung the grass rope tied to its wings on a scale, and after weighing said, "Three jin and eight liang."

"Over a hundred?" Song Xici was stunned.

"Girls, these ducks are really good, I'm not lying!" The female shopkeeper put down the scale and held the duck out towards them. "Look..."

"It's a bit expensive." Tang You'an looked at the duck, then at her.

"How about twenty-five?! Girls, I have old ducks too. I'll sell them to you for twenty-five, how about it?!" At this moment, the male shopkeeper from next door came over.

"If it's twenty-five... for one this big, it would still be close to a hundred yuan, right?" Tang You'an turned to Song Xici.

"Yes... so expensive... why is it so expensive..." Song Xici frowned deeply.

"Twenty-three, how about twenty-three?" The female shopkeeper glanced at the male shopkeeper, continuing to lower the price. "Chen, why do you always have to oppose me?!"

"Twenty!" The male shopkeeper offered a new price, glancing at the female shopkeeper. "You were the one who stole my business first."

"Can I buy one for twenty?" Tang You'an asked after thinking for a while.

Song Xici was immediately shocked. This... was bargaining too aggressively. It would be good if others could haggle the price down by half, but this... Surely no one would be willing to sell at the price Tang You'an was suggesting.

"Twenty? Forget it then." the female shopkeeper was stunned after hearing this, then waved her hand and put the duck back in the cage. "Girl, how could you possibly buy an old duck for twenty yuan? Even if you searched the entire market, you wouldn't find one. The cost price is more than that. Who would do business at a loss..."

At this point, the male shopkeeper also suddenly lost interest and shuffled back to his own stall.

Song Xici let out a sigh. She knew it.

"But, losing money wards off disaster. If you sell it to me for twenty today at a loss, a calamity you were originally going to face in a week will disappear." Tang You'an still looked steadily at her.

Song Xici was stunned and turned her head to look at Tang You'an.

"Girl, you're really funny." the female shopkeeper glanced at Tang You'an, smiling. "You're even talking about fate now. If you can tell fortunes, then I can too. I can predict that you're very amusing."

"I'm not lying." Tang You'an looked at the female shopkeeper, one hand behind her back, the other in front. She then closed her eyes. "You have two sons and one daughter. Your eldest son can already support himself, while your youngest daughter is not yet ten years old, right?"

The female shopkeeper, who hadn't taken Tang You'an seriously before, was suddenly stunned upon hearing this. She quickly turned her head to look at her and nodded. At the same time, the male shopkeeper from next door walked over again, looking at Tang You'an: "How did you know Old Zhang has two sons and a daughter?"

"Because I really can tell fortunes." Tang You'an tilted her head slightly.

"What else?" The female shopkeeper rubbed her hands together and hurriedly walked closer.

"Originally, your family was living in extreme poverty, barely able to make ends meet. Until three years ago when you encountered a benefactor who pointed you in the right direction, only then did you gradually get out of trouble. And the reason you were able to receive this benefactor's help..." Tang You'an looked straight into her eyes without flinching. "Is because when you were young..."

Tang You'an closed her eyes, her brow furrowing slightly: "Was it a temple? You once stopped..."

"Yes, yes, yes! When I was little, there were some naughty kids stealing food from our village's Fortune God Temple, and I went to stop them..." The female shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. "You're truly a master, a real master! Then, can I ask what calamity you mentioned that would happen in a week?!"

Tang You'an heard this and looked at the duck.

"Oh my, please tell me! I'll give you this duck for free. Forget about the money, don't give me any!" The female shopkeeper immediately understood.

Unconsciously, she had even changed her form of address from "you" to the more respectful "you."

"Next Thursday, try to have your husband go out less. Even if he does go out, he should avoid taking a shortcut he often takes. That place might not be good, something could happen." Tang You'an said.

"Heavens, you really are a divine person! I know which road you're talking about! That road has had two landslides this year, and people have been buried! Master, you truly are a master!" The female shopkeeper was so excited she could hardly express herself. Finally, she took out another hundred yuan from her pocket. "Girl, please take this. Thank you, really thank you!"

However, Tang You'an waved her hand: "I won't take extra money. Just sell me the duck for twenty yuan."

After saying this, Tang You'an took a fifty-yuan note from Song Xici and handed it to the female shopkeeper.

"Girl, girl! If you're not in a hurry, could you tell my fortune too?!" At this moment, the male shopkeeper next door also hurriedly spoke up. "I'll pay you, you name the price!"

Hearing this, Tang You'an turned her head to look at Song Xici: "What do you think? Should I do it?"

Song Xici, who had just come back to her senses, opened her mouth: "I think it's okay! We're short on money anyway!"

"Alright, then you say, how much should we charge?" Tang You'an asked again.

"A hundred?" Song Xici blinked after coming to her senses. She actually wasn't clear about the going rates for this kind of service, but felt they shouldn't overcharge too much.

"Okay." So Tang You'an looked at the male shopkeeper, "That's fine, one hundred."

"Girl, girl, can you tell our fortune too?!" At this point, the pork vendor next to the male shopkeeper's stall also ran out.

"Girl, girl, and me too, can you tell mine?" At the same time, a bystander also walked over while reaching for his wallet.

"Alright." Tang You'an's lips curved up slightly.

After a few hours, not only had Tang You'an and Song Xici bought all the ingredients they needed, but they had also earned a total of six hundred yuan. The money hadn't decreased; instead, it had increased, which was cause for celebration.

"Baby, you're amazing! For..." After counting the money, Song Xici patted Tang You'an's shoulder with a grinning face, but then swallowed back the words "your mother is so pleased" just in time.

Tang You'an smiled: "I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

"What do you mean embarrass... But..." Song Xici looked at her. "Why is your face so pale?"

"It's nothing... Just a bit too much fortune-telling all at once..." Tang You'an shook her head. Even though this body looked similar to her own, its essence was quite different. If it were her own body, this rarely happened, but with this body... looking into people's fates and such really consumed her spirit too easily.

"Then don't do any more readings for people. Let's rest well when we get back." Song Xici said hurriedly.

"Mm... Can we buy some tanghulu?" Tang You'an nodded slightly, then immediately turned her head to ask Song Xici when she noticed a man carrying tanghulu walking by.

"Sure, sure, let's buy some!" Song Xici happily pulled out a banknote.

So Tang You'an took the money and ran over to the tanghulu vendor. She looked at the candied hawthorns and said, "Brother, I want to buy ten tanghulu!"

Carrying the things in her hands, Song Xici watched Tang You'an's back and couldn't help but smile. That girl really couldn't move her legs away when she saw food.

"Alright!" The man smiled and responded, then took down ten tanghulu and put them in a plastic bag before handing them to her.

"Thank you." Tang You'an said after giving the money to the man. She turned around, took out one for Song Xici, and one for herself.

"When I was little, this was my favorite." Tang You'an said, taking a bite of the tanghulu.

"I liked it a lot when I was little too." Song Xici nodded.

"I always feel that eating it with someone important is an especially happy thing." Tang You'an said. In the past, every time her master came down from the mountain, or when she went down the mountain with her master, they would buy two tanghulu and eat them together on the way back.

Once, the one in her hand fell to the ground as she was eating it. She cried inconsolably, so her master gave her the one he was holding, which finally comforted her.

Thinking of these things, Tang You'an smiled.

Song Xici heard this and smiled, lowering her head as she bit into the tanghulu: "Is it that happy?"

"Yes. Just like right now, it's very happy." Tang You'an said.

Hearing this, Song Xici turned her head to look at her, only to find that Tang You'an was also gazing at her. There was a special flavor hidden in those delicate eyebrows and eyes. As Song Xici's gaze collided with hers, her heartbeat became a bit unsteady.

"Oh right, let's order a big cake." Song Xici quickly turned her head away, proposing as she bit into the tanghulu. "The grandmother has been living alone for years without anyone celebrating her birthday. How can we not have cake, right?"

"Okay, we're rich now anyway." Tang You'an nodded.

"Rich... Haha, then let's go." Song Xici said. After finishing her tanghulu, she tossed the bamboo stick into a nearby trash can, then asked around for directions to a cake shop before heading there with Tang You'an.

The shop didn't have a wide variety of cakes, and they didn't look as pretty as those in big cities, but that wasn't important. It was mainly about the sentiment.

After ordering the cake and setting a pick-up time, the two got back on the electric scooter and headed home.

"I suddenly realized it's actually quite fun." Song Xici said, looking ahead and sighing.

"Yes. Life in the mountains is quite interesting." Tang You'an nodded.

"Hey... hold on tight..." At this moment, the road suddenly became bumpy, and Song Xici hurriedly said.

Perhaps because they had unexpectedly earned some money, even though the return journey was still full of potholes and the electric scooter was still hard to ride, with the two of them swaying back and forth, their hearts felt as if they were dipped in honey.

As soon as they returned, Song Xici parked the electric scooter, got off, and raised her arms to shout: "Comrades! We're back!"

"You're back?!" Ning Yu and Xia Jing walked out of the kitchen.

"I was just about to try to find a signal to call you..." At the same time, Jin Yawen also walked out of the kitchen.

"Yes, look, we bought so many things!" Song Xici happily raised the bags she was holding.

"Yes, a lot." Tang You'an also lifted her bags.

"Wow, there's even tanghulu, and so many other things... How much money did you spend? You didn't use it all up, did you?" Jin Yawen asked with some concern.

"Of course not. Not only did we not use it all, we have over 400 yuan left." Song Xici said with a smile.

"If we hadn't ordered a cake for grandma, we'd have over 500 left."

"Amazing, bro, how did you get so much money?!" Wang Chengxu came over, taking a bag from Tang You'an's hand and looking at the tanghulu.

"Many people asked me to tell their fortunes, so we unconsciously accumulated this much." Tang You'an smiled.

"What? You can even tell fortunes?!" Wang Chengxu was already beyond shocked.

"Yes..." Tang You'an nodded.

"That's incredible! Can you tell our fortunes?!" Liu Nan suddenly asked.

"I'm sorry, she seems a bit tired today. Maybe another day, okay?" Song Xici, seeing the situation, was afraid Tang You'an wouldn't know how to refuse people, so she preemptively declined for her.

"Oh, okay, no problem." Liu Nan quickly nodded after hearing this.

After bringing all the purchased items to the kitchen, everyone then went to the main hall to sit down for dinner.

Today, Feng Xiaoxiao was more tactful and didn't pick and choose, no longer just selecting the best items for herself and Gu Xueke's bowls.

This dinner was prepared by Ning Yu and Xia Jing. Unexpectedly, it tasted quite good. Apart from some dishes being a bit bland and others a bit salty, there were no major issues. At least it was much better than the imagined dark cuisine.

After finishing dinner and cleaning up the pots and dishes, everyone looked at the time and then all sat back down in the main hall. After all, it was still early, so they gathered around again.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, away from the internet, everyone now looked incredibly simple and honest. After two days of getting along, the distance between everyone had been significantly reduced.

"These two days have been exhausting enough. Why don't we play some games to relax a bit?" As they were chatting, Wang Chengxu suddenly suggested.

"What game should we play?" Ning Yu asked.

"How about a word chain game?" Liu Nan asked. "Let's skip the complicated ones. This is the simplest."

"Sounds good, not bad. So what happens to the loser?" Gu Xueke looked around at everyone.

"The loser has to reveal one of their partner's shortcomings." Wang Chengxu said with a smile. "Or tell an unknown embarrassing story about their partner."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, let's do it! Let's hurt each other!" Ning Yu immediately got excited.

"Alright, I agree!" Jin Yawen raised her hand. "I wholeheartedly support this!"

Ma Qing looked at her, coughed twice, then picked up his water cup and took a sip.

"Okay, okay, then let's start with me and go clockwise. How's that?!" Wang Chengxu asked.

"Sounds good!"

"Love at first sight!" Wang Chengxu said.

Liu Nan: "Heart like a frisky horse."

Ning Yu: "Immediate success!"

Xia Jing: "Success and fame!"

Tang You'an: "Discuss things objectively"

At this point, everyone's gaze fell on Song Xici.

Song Xici's mind suddenly went blank. Although she wasn't usually lacking in knowledge, suddenly, she just...

So Tang You'an quietly tugged at Song Xici's clothes and whispered: "Mind your own business."

"Mind, mind your own business!" Song Xici hurriedly said after hearing this.

"No, no, Teacher Tang, you broke the rules! You can't help Teacher Song answer! No cheating!" Wang Chengxu slapped the table.

Tang You'an heard this and rubbed her temples. It really was easy for people to notice.

"Yes, yes, rule violation! She should be punished!" Everyone suddenly became noisy.

"Alright, alright, tell me, what should we do? Whatever the punishment is, I'll accept it!" Song Xici sighed, deciding to accept the punishment.

"How about this, why don't you two do that thing?" Wang Chengxu raised his eyebrows.

"Huh?" Song Xici sat there, blinking, confused and bewildered.

"Yes, yes! Do that thing!" Ning Yu suddenly got excited. After all, she liked Song Xici, and by extension liked Tang You'an too. By the rule of four out of five, she was basically a shipper now.

Song Xici heard this and turned her head to look at Tang You'an, clutching the hem of her clothes: "I don't understand..."

"Do what?" Tang You'an asked in confusion. She really didn't understand.

"A French kiss, of course! What else could it be? Haha!" Wang Chengxu said mischievously, laughing.

"Yes, French kiss! French kiss!" Ning Yu rolled up her sleeves and shouted.

"A one-minute French kiss shouldn't be difficult for you two, right? After all, you're married!" Xia Jing also chimed in.

At this moment, Tang You'an turned her head to look at Song Xici, then put her hand to her lips, gently biting her lower lip, glancing at Song Xici out of the corner of her eye.

"Come on, come on!" Everyone continued to urge. They were all excited as if it was the most thrilling thing ever.

Song Xici clutched and released the hem of her clothes, feeling a patch of dense sweat breaking out on her scalp, as if tiny insects were crawling on it.

Not kissing would be too strange... but kissing would be... This show was driving her crazy!!!
