Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 25

The distance between them was far too close.

Wen Shiwu rarely had the chance to admire her idol’s stunning features from such an up-close perspective.

His brow bone, often praised as a defining feature of his striking looks, was exceptionally well-defined.

His thick, long lashes, earning him the nickname “eyelash fairy”, were clearly visible as they cast delicate shadows over his eyelids while he looked down.

And then, there were his lips.

Yu Zheng’s lips weren’t the thin type; they had a natural, just-right rosy tint and looked incredibly soft.

Everyone was right.

His lips really did look so kissable…

Beep! Beep!

Just then, the heart rate monitor on Wen Shiwu’s wrist suddenly emitted two sharp, alarm-like sounds.

Everyone turned their curious gazes toward her.

Startled by the sudden noise, Wen Shiwu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her eyes.

She was terrified someone might notice she had been staring at Yu Zheng’s lips!

But Xia Zhuozhuo leaned in with surprise. “Hey? Teacher Wen’s heart rate monitor just went off the charts!”

Wen Shiwu: ???

She hadn’t even realized it.

Hearing Xia Zhuozhuo’s remark, Wen Shiwu hurriedly looked down at the monitor, which clearly wasn’t even properly fastened yet!

The heart icon on the dial was indeed pulsing wildly, and her heart rate continued to climb rapidly.

The cameraman immediately zoomed in for a close-up.

At that moment, Wen Shiwu’s heart rate hit 120, and the monitor’s alarm grew even more frantic!

The live-stream audience erupted in gleeful teasing,

“Whoa! Is that Wen Shiwu’s heart? Is there a little motor in there powered by a dung beetle or something?!”

“Hahaha, our girl’s heart is beating so fast! I noticed her staring at God Yu with heart eyes earlier, she must be so mesmerized by her idol that she can’t control her heartbeat!”

“LMAO, if I were that close to God Yu, my heart would probably beat even faster than hers!”

“Who wouldn’t go crazy around God Yu?! Especially when our girl is such a fan of his looks! She’s just trying to hold it together!”

Everyone happily enjoyed the spectacle, munching on metaphorical popcorn.

No one jumped to any inappropriate conclusions, since it was well-known that Wen Shiwu was a devoted admirer of Yu Zheng’s appearance.

But Yu Zheng glanced at the monitor.

After fastening the heart rate monitor for her, he withdrew his hand, a bold, arrogant smirk curling his lips. “Teacher Wen.”

Suddenly called out, Wen Shiwu grew even more nervous.

She lifted her flustered eyes, her long, curled lashes trembling slightly.

Yu Zheng grinned recklessly. “Do you like me that much?”

The live-stream audience instantly transformed into screaming fangirls.

“Ahhhh! I’m going insane! I’m really going to lose my mind over Xiao Zhaoxi!”

“I’m bouncing around like a hyper monkey right now! He asked if she likes him! He asked if she likes him!”

“You lucky guy, your future wife’s heart rate is off the charts because of you, and you’re grinning like an idiot, ahhh!!!”

Wen Shiwu felt like crying but had no tears left.

She was convinced the heart rate monitor had a glitch, a racing heart didn’t necessarily mean romantic feelings, and even if it did, it didn’t automatically translate to that kind of liking! She was just admiring her idol, that’s all!

“I…”

Wen Shiwu had no idea how to explain herself. Her mind went blank, and she ended up blurting out the truth: “I just suddenly realized everyone was right, your lips look so kissable.”

Everyone: AHHHHHHHH!!!

Xia Zhuozhuo was also going crazy beside her, getting so excited that the heart rate monitor on her wrist started beeping along.

Alright.

A heart rate monitor going off the charts doesn’t necessarily mean it’s love.

It could also mean someone’s losing their mind.

Wen Shiwu wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. She lowered her head to look at the sand, even feeling like it might be feasible.

Seriously, save me…

Wen Shiwu! Do you ever think before you speak?

She twisted her fingers nervously, trying to explain: “Yu Zheng.”

Yu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Wen Shiwu timidly said, “Don’t misunderstand…”

Yu Zheng laughed. “What do you think I’d misunderstand?”

Wen Shiwu braced herself and argued, “That’s not what I meant. I was just…”

Yu Zheng grinned mischievously. “Mm, got it.”

Wen Shiwu was baffled. “Got what?”

Yu Zheng lazily lifted his hand to rest his chin, tilting his head to look at her with smiling peach-blossom eyes. “Got it. You said my lips look really kissable.”

Wen Shiwu: “……”

Ahhhhhhh! Just let the world end already!

Wen Shiwu instantly deflated like a punctured balloon. The words of defense stuck in her throat, unable to come out. She simply turned her head away and randomly picked up a cookie, trying to distract herself.

But almost as soon as she raised her hand,

Yu Zheng abruptly grabbed her wrist. Even the heart rate monitor he was wearing started beeping an alarm at that moment, indicating his heart rate had accelerated unusually.

Wen Shiwu turned her head in confusion.

Before she could process it, she saw Yu Zheng snatch the cookie from her hand, then hold her fingers and gently brush off the cookie crumbs clinging to her fingertips, as if he couldn’t wait a second longer.

Then he replaced it with the fruit platter: “Eat this instead.”

Beside them, Xia Zhuozhuo was screeching like a squeaky chicken.

The live stream audience was also going wild,

“If this isn’t love, then what is!”

“He always remembers she’s allergic to wheat! I saw how nervous he was, ahhh!!!”

“His heart rate spiked, of course he was nervous! He was practically scared, okay? He was so afraid she’d have an allergic reaction!”

“Oh my god, help! I’ve never seen Yu Zheng so gentle and attentive. Could he actually have a crush on Wen Shiwu?!”

#Wen Shiwu Yu Zheng#

#Seize the day is so sweet it’s making me cry#

#Wen Shiwu wheat allergy#

#Yu Zheng eat this instead#

Tonight’s heart rate test hadn’t even started yet, but “Seize the day” had already added another iconic moment. Fans of all kinds were going insane.

Jiang Ran: “Tch.”

Lin Xingyou: “They’re so sweet! Even Wen Shiwu herself almost forgot about her allergy, but he remembered!”

Luo Xuan said disdainfully, “Don’t you guys think Wen Shiwu is totally not innocent toward Yu Zheng? She’s so scheming, deliberately almost making herself have an allergic reaction to get Yu Zheng’s attention!”

But Wen Shiwu really hadn’t meant it that way.

Her wheat allergy was severe. Once when she was little, she ate someone else’s boxed lunch on set and had an allergic reaction. She fainted on the spot and was rushed to the emergency room.

Ever since then, she’d been extra careful about it.

Just now, she’d just been too nervous…

But how did Yu Zheng know she was allergic to wheat?

Wen Shiwu looked over curiously as she ate the fruit, her heart rate having returned to normal.

But Yu Zheng’s monitor was still beeping.

No one noticed how tightly he was clenching his right hand, the cookie crushed to pieces in his palm, mixed with cold sweat.

Then Shi Ke suddenly leaned in: “Hey! This heart rate monitor is actually pretty handy, huh!”

Yu Zheng’s hand loosened almost instantly.

He relaxed his brow and casually tossed the cookie into the trash, wiping his hands twice with a wet wipe.

Shi Ke continued to move the process forward: “Now that everyone has put on the testing device, let’s begin tonight’s challenge task, the Crush Test!”
