The game continued.

The two girls sitting next to Qin Xueyue were gossiping somewhat carelessly, and Xia Xingcheng heard one of them ask, “Has Yang Youming left?”

The other said, “Why are you asking about Yang Youming?”

The girl said, “Can’t I ask about my idol?”

Their voices weren’t small, and everyone else could hear them.

Ren Jingyuan suddenly stated, “He hasn’t left, he’s over there with Lan ge. They’ve known each other for more than ten years and have a really good relationship.”

Just then, a young boy said to the girl, “What do you want with Yang Youming? Are you even half as pretty as Yuan Qian?”

The girl couldn’t accept this, “Yuan Qian isn’t here, it’s fine to think about it, right? At least I’m almost ten years younger than Yuan Qian, Yang Youming might also want to change his preferences.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl beside her elbowed her anxiously, hinting at her to look up.

Xia Xingcheng thus looked towards that room as well, and saw that on the second floor of a villa by the pool, Yang Youming and Chen Hailan were standing on the balcony, looking downwards. Yang Youming could definitely hear their words just now.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Wei Zehui promptly called out to everyone to continue playing the game in order to hide their embarrassment.

Xia Xingcheng didn’t know if he had choked on some cold water and couldn’t help coughing.

The game went on, and Xia Xingcheng and Qin Xueyue lost together.

Ren Jingyuan didn’t want to make them drink, so he insisted on a different penalty.

Wei Zehui opened his mouth and said, “You might as well kiss.” After he said this, he threw a meaningful glance at Xia Xingcheng in a gloating manner.

Xia Xingcheng didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry for a moment, and he hurriedly said, “I’m fine with it, but Xueyue is a girl. If she says no or she can’t, I’ll just get in the water.”

Qin Xueyue had also drank a lot of alcohol. Raising a hand to cover her lips, she shook her head and said, “Xingcheng is my brother, I can’t.”

Ren Jingyuan said, “If you’re willing to play then you’re willing to lose.” Afterwards, he said to Qin Xueyue, “You can’t just go in the water this time, you have to swim a lap. Do you think you can give up your brother?”

Xia Xingcheng took off his glasses, threw the bath towel aside, and stood up at the edge of the pool.

Someone beside him applauded and cheered.

Xia Xingcheng told Ren Jingyuan, “It’s okay to swim a few laps. My aim is to not make things difficult for girls.”

Hearing this, Wei Zehui whistled and cheered for him.

At this time, Chen Hailan’s voice rang out from the second floor of the villa. He leaned on the guardrails as he yelled to the people below, “Jingyuan, take care of the kids for me! Don’t bully them!”

Xia Xingcheng couldn’t help looking up and saw Yang Youming at Chen Hailan’s side, looking right back at him.

Ren Jingyuan shouted back, “Lan ge, you don’t understand young people’s games! You’d better go and accompany sister-in-law!”

There was instant laughter all around.

Xia Xingcheng withdrew his gaze. His stomach churned. It was probably the alcohol playing tricks on him. When he was about to dive into the water, Qin Xueyue suddenly reached out and grabbed him, saying, “Forget it, I still can’t bear to trouble Xingcheng.”

Up until then, three episodes of their variety show had aired. To promote the program, Xia Xingcheng and Qin Xueyue became a hot topic on Weibo after each episode, and there were now these so-called ‘Xingyue’ CP fans.

*Xingyue also means the moon & the stars

Everyone more or less knew something about this, so they were particularly invested in heckling the two of them. Hearing Qin Xueyue say this, someone took the lead in shouting: “Kiss! Kiss!” And the rest followed after, clapping their hands and yelling, “Kiss! Kiss!”

Qin Xueyue laughed and acted as if she was sacrificing her all for justice. Facing Xia Xingcheng, she raised her head and closed her eyes. In her opinion, it was probably really just a game.

Xia Xingcheng stared at Qin Xueyue. There was no way to refuse. He was silent for a moment, then slightly bent down and slowly neared Qin Xueyue’s lips, intending to leave after a light touch.

Their surroundings suddenly quieted down.

But before their lips could touch, his stomach suddenly churned, and he instantly pushed Qin Xueyue away, saying “I’m sorry”, then covered his mouth and ran to the nearest villa to his left.

The door of the villa was wide open, and the rooms inside were lit. He found a bathroom on the ground floor, knelt in front of the toilet, and vomited violently.

He vomited so much that he probably threw up all the undigested food he had eaten all day today, and tears and snot flowed along with the stimulation of stomach acid.

He threw up until he practically emptied his stomach. Gasping for air, he reached out and flushed the toilet, but when he tried to stand up, he found that his legs were so sore that he couldn’t even muster the strength to get up. And he had even thought that he could swim at least two more laps just a moment ago.

At this time, someone held his waist and arms and helped him up from behind. He hadn’t even heard the footsteps of anyone coming in, so when he turned to take a look, he found that the person who helped him up was unexpectedly Yang Youming.

Yang Youming didn’t say a word, not even minding that Xia Xingcheng’s wet clothes were wetting his own. He helped Xia Xingcheng to the sink and reached out to turn on the hot water for him.

Xia Xingcheng was battered and exhausted, with tears all over his face that he hadn’t had a chance to wipe away. He was in a daze as he called out, “Ming ge.”

Yang Youming filled a cup with hot water and gave it to Xia Xingcheng to rinse his mouth.

Leaning on the edge of the sink, Xia Xingcheng rinsed his mouth and washed his face with hot water.

Yang Youming let go of him, turning on the shower in the bathroom’s spacious bathtub, and said, “This is my room, take a shower and change your clothes.” With that, Yang Youming left the bathroom, but soon returned with a bathrobe for Xia Xingcheng.

When Yang Youming went out again, he reached out and closed the bathroom door.

Xia Xingcheng took off his wet shoes and socks, treading barefoot on the ceramic tiles of the bathroom. He took off all his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, finally standing under the spray of warm water.
