After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 216 - 214: Are You Trying to Show Off Your Pec Muscles?
Wang Sirui had a pink high-waisted ruqun. He put on the top and tied the straps, then started to wear the skirt. While putting on the skirt, he thought the straps were meant to be tied around the waist, but no matter how he tried, it didn’t seem right. The length of the skirt was dragging on the floor, and his chest was quite exposed.
When Yang Leqi came in, Wang Sirui awkwardly scratched his head and gave up on the idea of trying to fix the skirt.
Chen Yao was in a slightly better position because... he only had on the camisole and nothing else, waiting for Yang Leqi to come and help.
After having a good laugh, Yang Leqi began to give instructions, "Wang Sirui, take off the skirt first. You’re wearing it wrong. Where’s the camisole underneath?"
Wang Sirui picked up the small garment he had tossed aside, looking embarrassed, "I found it uncomfortable, so I didn’t wear it...
Yang Leqi stared at him in silence for a moment, "Not wearing it... were you trying to show off your pecs?"
Wang Sirui: "..."
He quietly took off the top, put on the small camisole he had dismissed, and then put the top back on.
While Wang Sirui was getting dressed, Yang Leqi turned her attention to Chen Yao.
The outfit Chen Yao was wearing should have been Qin Yun’s; it was a dark red, cross-collar ruqun. If Qin Yun wore it, it would definitely look stunning.
"Brother Yao, put on the top first," Yang Leqi said.
Chen Yao put on the top and tied a loose knot.
"This is how you tie the skirt." As Yang Leqi spoke, Chen Yao followed along, and soon it was done.
"Something still seems missing." Yang Leqi observed, rubbing her chin. Then her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, "Let me ask the director if we can put on some makeup."
Chen Yao, Wang Sirui: "..."
"I think it’s unnecessary," Chen Yao said, his temples throbbing, with a twitching at the corner of his mouth.
"I also think it’s redundant! Naturally beautiful, putting on makeup only makes it worse! Besides, the contest isn’t over yet, and we have to worry about the wigs falling off while running around," Wang Sirui said seriously, suddenly realizing, "You’re not trying to sabotage us to win, are you?"
Hearing this, Yang Leqi immediately protested, her eyes wide open, "How is that possible! I don’t need any tricks to beat you! Even without any tricks, I win! Silly little thing!"
Wang Sirui quickly diverted her attention, holding up his skirt, "So, there it is! Hurry and help me figure out how to wear this skirt! It’s so loose; I can’t wear it properly at all."
Yang Leqi genuinely didn’t continue the makeup topic, "This is a high-waisted skirt, not a low-waisted one. It’s tied at the chest; first, bring the back fabric to the front and tie it tight enough to prevent it from falling off later."
As soon as Wang Sirui heard it might fall, he immediately tightened it so much that it left a mark.
Yang Leqi was speechless, thinking he was so afraid of it falling off.
She said with a hint of annoyance, "It doesn’t need to be that tight. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to breathe?"
"Oh." Wang Sirui loosened it a bit, but it was still relatively tight, although at least his skin wasn’t bulging out anymore.
"Lift the front part to cover the strap you just tied, cross it at the back and front a few times, four or five times around the chest, then pull out half of the straps on each side," Yang Leqi explained, gesturing with her hands.
"Are you stupid? That’s not how you do it; there’s no difference," Yang Leqi exclaimed, fed up, and immediately jumped in to help him directly.
Outside, Pei Yan picked up a bottle of yogurt from the small table the sponsor set up and handed it to Qin Yun.
Qin Yun took it directly and drank. Apart from this simple action, there was no interaction between them. The livestream audience, who had been clamoring for the director to go in and show them, paused for a few seconds because of this simple action.
[Ahhh! Is there something we can’t see?! Leqi can see; why can’t we?!]
[Director! Go in! There’s nothing unbroadcastable! As long as you broadcast, we’ll watch!!]
[Exactly, just letting us hear it isn’t enough! It feels like you’re intentionally teasing us because we can’t see it!]
[You all want to see inside, but I’m watching Pei Yan pass yogurt to Qin Yun with a fond smile. Yes, I understand; it’s a colleague’s love! Mutual assistance! There’s nothing between them! If Qin Yun didn’t accept it so naturally, I might have believed it! How many times have they done this to be so in sync!]
[I don’t get it, but has Pei Yan ever opened a bottle for someone? Sob sob... another day of being jealous of Qin Yun! I’ll pretend Brother Pei was opening it for me!!]
The reason Pei Yan’s fans didn’t cause a scene is mainly because most of the time, Pei Yan is the one making the first move, there’s nothing to be done—those who flirt first are in debt.
Idol behavior, fans pay for it.
Feeling at fault, Pei Yan’s fans wouldn’t turn around and curse at Qin Yun.
If Qin Yun did these things, Pei Yan’s fans would have directly criticized her out of the entertainment industry.
There’s nothing to be done with Pei Yan’s status in the entertainment industry; Qin Yun is infamous for being "dark" though she’s cleaned up her image a bit, but many of Pei Yan’s fans still remember her past scandals.
If Qin Yun deliberately said something controversial, or made very intimate gestures, Pei Yan’s fans wouldn’t let her off easily.
However, if Pei Yan does it, it’s different.
The majority of Pei Yan’s fans are rational, plus given Pei Yan’s age, he should be dating around this time.
Especially since Qin Yun’s actions before have hinted there’s nothing going on with Pei Yan. Even when they were lying together, Qin Yun did nothing, which reassures Pei Yan’s fans a lot.
Had it been anyone else getting flirted with by Pei Yan like that, they might have blushed, but with Qin Yun, she immediately burst the fantasy bubble, even though Pei Yan’s fans might feel a bit unhappy, it’s precisely this reason that reassures them about Qin Yun.
Moreover, many interactions between them on the show are sweet, attracting quite a few shipper fans. These fans, even knowing it’s not a real deal, will continue to ship as long as neither of them publicly dates someone else.
This also lays the groundwork for future public announcements.
"Aren’t you doing the task? You’ll lose to me again," Qin Yun said while drinking the yogurt Pei Yan handed her.
Pei Yan chuckled lightly, "Oh? Try me."
As he finished speaking, Yang Leqi walked out from inside.
Wang Sirui followed closely behind, then Chen Yao came out.
"Pfft—cough cough—"
Seeing their outfits, Qin Yun, who had just taken a sip of yogurt, almost choked herself with it.
