Help! My Fanservice Partner is Looking at Me Differently Lately - Chapter 36

“I certainly know.” Shen Xunye chuckled. “In your eyes, am I that frivolous?”

Seeing that Shen Xunye had not misunderstood, Chi Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “It seems we still have a bit of chemistry.”

“However, I still need to clarify.” Shen Xunye leaned forward slightly, resting his hands on the edge of the desk, boxing Chi Li in between himself and the tabletop. “I am not just good-looking but useless.”

A faint scent of mint drifted into Chi Li’s nose. He tilted his head back. “I didn’t think that.”

“But wouldn’t it be better to prove it?” Shen Xunye’s lips curled into a smile as he tightened his perimeter. “What do you think?”

“I don’t think that is necessary.” Chi Li raised both hands, blocking the space between himself and Shen Xunye.

“Then what if Zhou Yang asks?” Shen Xunye’s knee grazed Chi Li’s leg intentionally or otherwise.

Chi Li’s body shivered slightly, and he looked away to avoid Shen Xunye’s gaze. “I will naturally praise you highly.”

“Hmm, that is good.”

Seeing the faint pink tint emerging on the tips of Chi Li’s ears, Shen Xunye retracted his enclosure with satisfaction. He was afraid that if he spoke any more provocatively, that utility knife would make another appearance.

“Phew.” Chi Li’s momentary panic gradually subsided. “Okay, can you go back and rest now?”

“Now?” Shen Xunye found a chair and sat down. “Zhou Yang only left a few minutes ago.”

“Ah? Does that have anything to do with it?” Chi Li was a bit dazed.

“What if he is guarding outside and sees me leave so soon?” Shen Xunye rested his chin on one hand, blinking as he looked at Chi Li. “Wouldn’t that confirm the fact that I am good-looking but useless?”

“Cough.” Now that he mentioned it, Chi Li realized the implication. “Then stay for another half an hour.”

“No.” Shen Xunye sternly refused. “Half an hour is too short.”

“Half an hour is short?” Chi Li tilted his head, confused. It was not as if he had no exposure to knowledge in this area. A man who lasts for half an hour is already considered very good.

“Isn’t it short?” Shen Xunye countered.

“Then you…” Chi Li also pulled up a chair and sat down, starting to discuss it with Shen Xunye. “What is your average duration?”

Shen Xunye said confidently, “I don’t know, I am a virgin.”

Chi Li’s expression changed instantly. “You are a virgin, yet you think half an hour is short?” He was just like a college student who had never been exposed to society, thinking that jobs with a monthly salary of ten thousand were everywhere.

Shen Xunye’s tone was firm: “It is very short.”

“Fine.” Chi Li did not want to argue with a stubborn virgin. In any case, once he tried it, he would know how foolish he was right now. “Half an hour is short. Then how long do you want to stay?”

Shen Xunye held up a “V” sign. “Two hours.”

Chi Li was speechless. This virgin was really quite concerned about his face. Staying for another two hours would make it two o’clock in the morning.

“Do you think…” Chi Li didn’t speak, so Shen Xunye picked up the previous topic again. “Is half an hour a long time? Did you sleep with men of that quality before?”

“No, I read it in popular science articles.” Chi Li slumped on the chair, feeling weak. “I am also a virgin.”

“Is that so?” Shen Xunye’s expression flickered, and the smile on his face became a bit more genuine. “Then we are quite fated.”

“There are plenty of virgins in this world; we are not the only ones who are fated.” Thinking that this person still had to stay in the room for two hours, Chi Li simply grabbed the tablet on the desk and opened a video app. “Shall we pick a movie to watch together?”

Shen Xunye naturally had no objections. Chi Li picked a comedy with a higher rating. After watching for a while at the desk, he felt that the hard chair was becoming uncomfortable, so he suggested, “Shall we lie on the bed to watch instead?”

“Okay.” Shen Xunye helped pick up the tablet.

Halfway through the movie, Chi Li tilted his head and fell asleep. Shen Xunye dragged the progress bar to the end, turned off the tablet, and tucked the person into the quilt. He lay on his side, supporting his head with his arm, and carefully traced the sleeping face of the person beside him.

Chi Li’s eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on his eyelids, trembling slightly with his dreams. His lips were unconsciously parted, revealing a glimpse of clean, white teeth. Messy black hair clung to his cheeks, with one strand perfectly crossing the bridge of his nose. Shen Xunye moved that unruly strand of hair away, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily.

At two o’clock in the morning, Shen Xunye emerged from Chi Li’s room on time. Passing the corner, he was caught off guard by Zhou Yang’s sleepy eyes.

Ha. The casual lie he had made up just to stay behind had actually become the truth.

“The goods are as advertised.” Shen Xunye spoke before Zhou Yang could. “He is very satisfied.”

“I hope you…” Zhou Yang couldn’t help but curse. “He still has to record the program tomorrow; don’t you know how to show some restraint?”

“I wanted to.” Shen Xunye looked innocent. “But he insisted, what could I do?”

“Damn! You really are an insatiable…”

“I advise you,” Shen Xunye’s expression turned cold instantly, “to keep your mouth clean.”

Zhou Yang shivered as he looked at him, but he still stiffened his neck and said, “Isn’t it just sleeping together? What are you showing off for? I already slept with him before.”

After saying this, he greased his heels and fled. After his silhouette disappeared from sight, Shen Xunye turned and walked toward his own room.

At 10:00 AM the next day, the live stream started on time. Chi Li was already standing in front of the plot of land from yesterday. Standing with him on this side were Shen Xunye and Gao Yuan.

“I will go out to buy seeds in a while; you two help me loosen the soil first.” Chi Li handed the two small hoes he found in the utility room to both of them. “Is that okay?”

These small plots of land were not large. As long as the two did not slack off, they could finish in half an hour.

Gao Yuan weighed the hoe in his hand. “No problem, just leave it to me.”

Shen Xunye also responded, “Hmm.”

“Then I am off…”

【Wife? You are leaving just after the broadcast started?】

【We have not seen you for 12 hours. We have only been together for less than 30 seconds, yet you turn and leave. No!】

【Wife… I also want to eat the vegetables you grow. When the vegetables are ripe, can we have a raffle for fans to taste them?】

【Digressing here, Shen Xunye looks like a master at tilling the soil!】

【I suspect you are making a suggestive joke, but I have no evidence.】

【The veins on his arm while hoeing… It really makes my nose bleed.】

“Hey, tell me,” Gao Yuan started talking to Shen Xunye while hoeing. “Isn’t Chi Li a really interesting person?”

Shen Xunye turned the soil beneath his hands. “Hmm.”

“He gave me a lot of inspiration,” Gao Yuan said with some emotion. “It is a pity I cannot stay with him for much longer.”

Shen Xunye looked at him. “Are you leaving?”

“Yeah.” Gao Yuan nodded. “I applied for it myself… because there are other, more important things to do.”
