Ruan Song, who was still hungover, suddenly realized that he wasn’t wearing pants!
Wan Qingyue was completely dumbfounded.
To be honest, he hadn’t even noticed what Ruan Song was wearing, but upon hearing Ren Qinming’s comment, he found himself looking down at Ruan Song’s legs.
Inside the cramped tent, the lighting was dim and ambiguous.
Although Ren Qinming’s blocking action was quick, Wan Qingyue still caught a glimpse of the revealing sight from the edge of the thin blanket.
And because it was half covered up and half concealed, he had an even greater sense of perception towards this than usual.
Ruan Song’s two long legs were fair and slender, and the seam just happened to expose the lateral aspect of his thigh, with smooth muscle lines extending from his calves to his thighs.
Further up, you could even vaguely see a round mark…
“Wan Qingyue.” Ren Qinming had already twisted his body around again and looked down at Wan Qingyue from above.
There was a time when it was Wan Qingyue’s wish to be looked at so “seriously” by Ren Qinming, calling his name.
Or rather, any fan would probably have this wish, but not in this situation!
At this moment, Ren Qinming’s gaze was like that of a disdainful “thief.”
Wan Qingyue’s face had turned red from being wrongly accused, and had even less of an idea where to start explaining himself than the first time he “threw Ruan Song.” He could only toss out a “I didn’t see anything!” and “I’ll leave right now!”, and then quickly pushed aside the flap of the tent to run away.
Everyone, including the barrage, saw him confidently enter, but he came out with a flushed face and neck. At first, everyone thought the child was about to start crying.
But when the camera zoomed in and everyone took a closer look…
[Oh boy, seems he saw something he shouldn’t have seen, which made this child’s ears turn completely red, doge]
[If Wan Qingyue has this kind of expression…… then don’t doubt me for thinking too much!!!!]
[Ahhhhh, my brother just went in, could it be that they kissed or touched each other in front of a younger brother!]
[Can’t say for sure, maybe they kissed and touched. I have money, I’ll pay to watch that video, pervert.jpg]
[Or, could it be that there’s that possibility, like, why did everyone else get up when only Teacher Ruan didn’t get up?]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stop talking, it’s that, yesterday night! It’s definitely what we’re thinking about!!]
[Before my brother came out to draw water, I already felt that he looked particularly full of vitality, hehe]
[We’ll figure it out later when we see whether or not Teacher Ruan walks nimbly while hiking on the mountain, little face is completely yellow.jpg]
The bullet screen’s imagination ran wild, and the process was thrown out the window instead of directly moving toward driving at the fastest speed.
But when Zheng Qing asked Wan Qingyue, “Did you apologize?”
Wan Qingyue’s face was still burning, feeling both wronged and uncomfortable. He replied, “I did apologize! But Brother Song doesn’t even remember the scene and didn’t mention me…”
“If he didn’t mention you, why are you still like this? Did Qinming scold you?” Qin Sijia thought about it and felt that this possibility was the highest.
At that moment, Liang Yi and Jiang Qiqi, who were waiting on the side for Qin Sijia to finish combing her hair, turned to look at him.
Inside the tent, it was quiet, and no one expected to hear the “inside story” from Ruan Song and Ren Qinming. They could only start with Wan Qingyue.
In just a few sentences, Wan Qingyue couldn’t understand how he became the center of everyone’s attention. He awkwardly said, “Qinming didn’t scold me… he was just a little unhappy when I saw Brother Ruan ge not wearing pants…”
Qin Sijia, Zheng Qing, Jiang Qiqi, and Liang Yi, “?”
[………………]
Jiang Qiqi probingly asked, “Doesn’t he remember that the person you like is him?”
Wan Qingyue was frustrated to the point of almost crying, saying, “I also want to know! It’s fine if someone is jealous, but why does it have to be directed at me…”
Finally, the bullet screen realized what had happened and burst into laughter.
They had imagined countless ways for Wan Qingyue to be eliminated, but no one expected that Wan Qingyue would go from being an “admirer” to becoming a “rival” and being eliminated.
[I’m fucking done, Ren Qinming, you’re awesome, thumbs up.jpg]
[Hahahahaha, the most important point is that my younger brother looks way more uncomfortable than when he was disliked by my brother, I’m laughing to death again!]
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[He’s proven himself to be Ren Qinming, I’ve been convinced this time hhh]
[Younger Brother: How am I supposed to explain this to the person I like? The person I like is him, not his partner QAQ]
[Let me congratulate our brother for obtaining the identity of a “vinegar jar comedian,” sprinkle flowers.jpg x3]
[My brother is confident: Who cares which person you like, anyway you’re not allowed to look, shriveled mouth.jpg]
[Before I still felt that even though my younger brother was young, he also couldn’t make irresponsible remarks. But looking at it now, forget it, this child is miserable enough, hahahahaha]
[That’s right, 2333, there probably isn’t anyone with a more unlucky end of being rejected by Ren Qinming after being taken as a ‘love rival’]
[srds come to explain why you didn’t put a camera inside the tent, @director group]
Qjc Hlcusef jirb cfnfg kbeiv tjnf atbeuta atja tf kbeiv mtjrf j mfifyglas jcv atfc fcv eq yfmbwlcu j atbgc lc tlr “rajg’r” fsfr!
Finally, the bullet screen concluded, [Ren Qinming has tumbled into the river of love, and is seriously ill, doge]
Snfc Eejc Vbcu lc atf afca kjr mbwqifafis yfklivfgfv, jcv tf jczlberis abemtfv Efc Hlcwlcu’r obgftfjv, jrxlcu, “Lbk ibcu tjnf sbe yffc fzqfglfcmlcu atfrf rswqabwr? Cgf sbe ralii tecubnfg, bg lr la wf?”
Ren Qinming innocently clutched the thin blanket around his waist and asked, “What symptoms?”
“You’re asking me what symptoms?” Ruan Song couldn’t help but rub his waist. “Just yesterday, the child had already drunk alcohol and even fought me for you, don’t you know it best in your heart?”
Ren Qinming didn’t directly answer the question, but instead took over the “task” from Ruan Song and used his hands to massage and knead his lower back, completely missing the point. He said, “So you didn’t black out.”
With his mischievous thoughts, Ruan Song kicked Ren Qinming’s shin with his bare foot and said irritably, “My bones are about to fall apart, it’s hard not to remember.”
Not only did Ruan Song remember what they did, but he also remembered every word that little devil Wan Qingyue said.
If he insisted on saying he didn’t remember anything, then it could only be exactly how many times they did it last night.
Once Ruan Song thought of it, he grew angry.
He kept saying no more, but this insatiable dog of a person kept insisting, saying things like, “Anyway, you won’t remember tomorrow morning, so whether I do it three times or seven times, it doesn’t make a difference.”
Ruan Song playfully kicked Ren Qinming again and said, “Tonight, you better go sleep on the sofa.”
Ren Qinming didn’t feel discouraged at all and happily responded, “Sure thing!”
He knew Ruan Song too well. Not only did Ruan Song have a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, but he was also especially loyal to his body and was the model representative for “getting started is the hardest part.”
Once you had the first time, there was going to be a second time, and with the second time… you could directly give birth to a child!
Ren Qinming dutifully and without complaint massaged Ruan Song’s waist, planning out the positions they would try at night. The satisfied look on his face was a dead giveaway that he had definitely “hit the jackpot” with Ruan Song.
But even if he hit the jackpot, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, it was not surprising that Ren Qinming has long been deeply infatuated with Ruan Song.
Surprisingly, this person was in such a good mood that they unintentionally noticed the sorrowful expression on Wan Qingyue’s face. It was the first time he showed any “concern” for Wan Qingyue, even though he had been on the show for a whole day and night.
Even though it was just a short “What’s wrong with you?” in four words, but it was enough to make Wan Qingyue unable to hold back his tears, wishing he could cry in front of Ren Qinming right then and there!
Everyone else, “……….”
The bullet screen had already begun to fill the screen with question marks.
[Did he completely forget who caused younger brother to become like this? Question mark.jpg]
[So is there no hospital that can cure his condition, question mark.jpg x3]
[It’s nothing to write home about, shakes head.jpg]
…………
After Ruan Song bossed him around all night, making his old arms and legs instantly feel a hundred years older, he changed his clothes and finished washing up, only to find that everyone had already finished breakfast.
Luckily, Ren Qinming might be crazy, but he wasn’t crazy enough to leave visible marks where people could see them. The red and purple marks in the most sensitive areas were discreetly hidden on his chest and inner thighs.
Ruan Song considered himself meticulous, so he checked himself in the mirror multiple times after changing clothes to make sure there were no “revealing” spots. Then he opened the tent and appeared in front of the camera and everyone else.
The first person to notice him, coincidentally, was Wan Qingyue again.
At the top of the mountain, the morning light was faint, and the clear and bright sunlight pierced through the thin clouds, shining down on the cluster of tents set up by the production team. It formed magnificent beams of light, illuminating the nameless wild flowers and grass on the green ground, full of vitality.
And at this moment, the man who walked out of the tent was still wearing the familiar simple white T-shirt and washed jeans that everyone knew.
Except for today, the jeans were replaced with high-waisted wide-leg ones, and the slightly short top was loosely tucked into the waist, raising the waistline. The well-fitted fabric tightly wrapped around Ruan Song’s waist which made his long legs look like they were two meters long.
But it wasn’t until Ruan Song turned completely and faced their direction that Wan Qingyue noticed.
It turned out that not only did Ruan Song’s wide-leg pants have holes in the legs, but there were also holes in the waistband!
The high-waisted pants were hollowed-out on the left side of the waist, revealing a small patch of fair and supple waist and a slightly protruding lower abdomen, showcasing a slender and sexy figure.
This shocked Wan Qingyue as well.
Some sharp-eyed viewers in the live chat have already begun to cover up their nosebleeds.
[Can I ask, is there anyone in this world who doesn’t like big beauties? This fucking body proportion! Exploded!]
[That waist…… Oh my god, that waist, ahhhhhhhhhh!!!]
[SOS! Let me take advantage of the fact that Ren Qinming hasn’t reacted yet to quickly glue that pair of pants onto Ruan Song’s legs!!!]
[Sure enough, it was right to buy VIP membership for this. In the future, please continue to prepare this level of content for the distinguished VIPs every day, starry eye.jpg]
[That waist is about as wide as the palm of my hand, right? Those legs are also at least two meters, right? 15551]
The one who startled Wan Qingyue with her voice was Jiang Qiqi, who had just finished cleaning up the breakfast remnants next to her.
She exclaimed, “Wow!” and instinctively shouted the word that the viewers in the live chat were most fond of, “beauty” towards Ruan Song!
Before, Jiang Qiqi didn’t understand the fan culture, so she didn’t understand why fans would use “beauty” to describe guys. She thought it might be a way of praising them as “feminine” in a positive way.
But now that she has seen Ruan Song, she truly understood it clearly, and had a great realization.
There was a type of guy who could be both sexy and beautiful, without losing the masculine hormones of being tall and confident.
It seemed that “beauty” and “pretty man” were not good enough, and unifying them into the phrase “beautiful man” was more befitting of the meaning of “true beauty.”
Jiang Qiqi, on the other hand, would wake up early and would stay up late every day just to put on makeup to look beautiful.
Now, when she looked at Ruan Song, her interest in the beautiful woman’s DNA was immediately activated, and she sincerely complimented him, saying, “Brother Song, you look so good in these pants! Such a beauty!”
Ruan Song chuckled and looked down, saying, “Don’t exaggerate, it’s just a pair of pants I bought online for 199 yuan.”
Jiang Qiqi had already taken out her phone from her pocket, wanting to take a picture, and earnestly corrected him, saying, “It’s not about the price, it’s just that it suits you so well! I’ve seen this high-waisted hollow style of pants on other female celebrities before, but none of them look as good as you!”
Jiang Qiqi’s excitement quickly caught everyone’s attention.
Zheng Qing and Liang Yi, two big straight guys, were fine.
But it was Qin Sijia who turned her head and saw Ruan Song’s outfit. Her feet were like magnets, and with a “wow” sound, she quickly joined Jiang Qiqi, both wearing expensive designer clothes, to observe Ruan Song’s pants that he casually bought for 199 yuan online.
The comments were all filled with lemon emojis.
[I’m sour to death, sour to death. I also want to get closer to look, let me see 15551]
[Facts have proven that beautiful women just like sticking close to other beautiful women, doge]
[Guys, hahahaha, guys, hurry up and look at Wan Qingyue! Younger Brother’s eyes have already straightened, and I’m dying of laughter.]
[I feel that Sijia-goddess is already dissatisfied with just using her eyes to look, and wants to use her hands to touch Teacher Ruan’s waist, hahahaha]
[So out of all the male guests, Teacher Ruan is the only one who doesn’t have abs, irrefutable proof that he doesn’t like exercising, bares teeth.jpg]
[Teacher Ruan is genuinely skinny, he doesn’t have any excess fat at all. If they exercised again, would Ren Qinming even let him go? Doge]
[This is the large-scale scene of beautiful women praising each other, you can tell Teacher Ruan thinks everyone is exaggerating.]
Wan Qingyue was still dazed.
Maybe it was because both he and Ren Qinming were film actors, they were different from those popular idols who could rely on filters and retouching. They were also different from TV drama actors.
Because every time there was a close-up shot on set, even the texture of the actor’s skin was visible. Not only did they have higher acting requirements compared to TV drama actors, but their skin condition also mattered, leaving little room for excessive cover-up or modification.
So Wan Qingyue has always secretly believed that he has a pretty good appearance, until today, when he suddenly saw Ruan Song with a bare face.
Maybe it was because of the outfit, maybe it was the lighting, but when he saw Ruan Song for the first time at the door of the cabin yesterday, he didn’t find Ruan Song’s skin particularly stunning.
After all, to have a perfect “bare face,” celebrities would develop their makeup skills, or use high-quality skincare products, and it was not at all excessive to say there were 10,000 ways to look good.
This was not Wan Qingyue’s first time participating in variety shows, so he instinctively incorporated Ruan Song’s “just woke up” look from yesterday into the script.
But after spending a day and night together, Wan Qingyue knew that Ruan Song didn’t do anything to his appearance that morning.
In the dimly lit tent, it was hard to see clearly, but now that he stepped out into the sunlight, he could even see the soft, short stubble on his face up close.
The photographers eagerly followed Ruan Song, carrying their cameras and keeping pace with him.
[Fuck me, I’m begging Teacher Ruan to drop his skincare routine.]
[Ah, and I still thought you guys saw it before, I was just saying, how can you guys be so calm? Teacher Ruan uses the most ordinary cleansing milk and infant moisturizer, added together it doesn’t exceed 400 yuan…… just a lemon.jpg]
[Teacher Ruan and our brother both seem to have neutral skin, just a lemon.jpg x3]
[Damn, then later the baby they’ll give birth to will also have neutral skin (????)]
[Hahahaha, the person in front can get up and go to the hospital with our brother, you’ve shipped it so hard you’ve started to speak nonsense.]
[Now that you mention it, I feel that my younger brother can also be sent to the hospital. He’s already stared for a few minutes and he’s still staring. Hehehe, doge]
[His lower body, his lower body. Hurry and take advantage of the fact that my brother hasn’t discovered it yet, and let the camera take a comprehensive shot with no blind spots and zoom in a bit closer!]
It was probably because Ren Qinming was too immersed in the character of a vinegar jar.
In the live chat room, everyone, including Wan Qingyue, thought that if Ren Qinming saw Ruan Song wearing these low-waisted pants, he would be unhappy.
To avoid another misunderstanding, Wan Qingyue specifically paid attention to the timing of Ren Qinming finishing his ingredients. To avoid waste, the production team packaged all the leftover ingredients and seasonings from yesterday and gave them to Ren Qinming to choose from.
Wan Qingyue planned to wait until Ren Qinming finished his work and then immediately shifted his gaze to admire the flowers, grass, and blue sky.
The live chat was also going crazy, taking screenshots and capturing moments, urging the cameramen to capture more shots. Just in case Ren Qinming would get jealous and didn’t let Ruan Song wear those pants anymore.
Five minutes later, Ren Qinming did return. He saw Ruan Song with his pants revealing a bit of his waist, and his expression did darken a bit. But what surprised everyone was that he simply pursed his lips and didn’t say a word of disapproval. Instead, he handed over a vegetable sandwich to Ruan Song.
Ruan Song himself didn’t think there was anything wrong with these pants. He has always had this style of dressing since his school days, whether it was showing a bit more or a bit less.
Seeing the two of them harmoniously standing together, Wan Qingyue was so surprised that he started to stutter, “Brother, I thought you would have an opinion about Brother Song wearing these pants…”
“What’s wrong with the pants?”
As soon as Ren Qinming looked at him, his gaze immediately turned cold, “Brother Song can wear whatever he likes. And only when it’s necessary I should help cover him up, and have you guys look at him less.”
[………………?]
[Hahahahahaha, I’m laughing to death, fuck, younger brother’s entire head is filled with question marks!]
So, after that, Wan Qingyue was so quiet on the way down the mountain that he didn’t dare to speak casually anymore, and he made sure to keep his eyes in check and not look around.
According to common sense, he should have been more cautious around Ren Qinming.
But now, the reality was that he was more afraid of being misunderstood and not daring to look at Ruan Song, just because Ruan Song was either on Ren Qinming’s back or walking side by side with him.
He didn’t just stop looking, they both stopped looking altogether.
In the end, he made up his mind and rushed to the front, joining the first group with Zheng Qing and Qin Sijia—but even then, he couldn’t get a good look.
And then, it seemed like the live chat suddenly understood something.
[I understand, I understand now. Do you guys think that because Teacher Ruan is in the actual palace, he doesn’t care? Big! Mistake! Huge! Mistake! He adopted the greatest defense method called ‘Turning my love rival into my partner’s love rival’!]
[??? That makes sense!]
[Damn, hahahahahaha]
So in the span of an afternoon, Ruan Song once again appeared on the hot search.
Just this time, the hot search didn’t contain his name. Instead, it was [Come in to learn the best method of dealing with your rival in love].
Clicking into the entry, you would see, from the first time Wan Qingyue accidentally pulled Ruan Song down to the ground at the cabin, to climbing the glass plank road, to the next morning with the revealing waist and wide-leg pants, and when climbing down the mountain as Wan Qingyue frantically tried to avoid arousing suspicion.
There was no marketing account in sight, and it was all monotonously filled with netizens sharing the posts and screenshots on their own.
The comments were filled with all kinds of reactions.
[Ahhhhhhhhh, who’s sour to death, it’s me! I also have this pair of pants, but my boyfriend won’t let me wear them out unless it’s over his dead body, 15551]
[Although I can’t muster up any fondness for Wan Qingyue, his final appearance before leaving the stage is too miserable 2333]
[True, true. Instead, he was regarded as a love rival by his love interest, and I suffocated on the spot. He’s better off not being successful in chasing Ren Qinming hahaha]
[Ren Qinming is a simp, I’ve already caught my boyfriend to come learn how to be a virtuous male, bare teeth.jpg]
[For a moment, I actually couldn’t tell if it was because Teacher Ruan taught him well, or is it because my brother is naturally boyfriend material, doge]
[This variety show has been broadcasting for some time, and I’ve been watching it up until now. I only have one thought, which is that Ren Qinming deserved to have successfully chased Ruan Song! They deserve to be together!!! Prayer hands.jpg]
Amidst this, the most relevant and hottest comment that was pinned to the top of the Weibo post, was a 3×3 photo set of Ruan Song edited with a queen filter, together with accompanying comments.
[Did you get it? The best way to get a partner is to upgrade yourself. As long as you hold yourself high enough, you can even handle your partner’s suitor and manually wrangle Qingyue younger brother, doge x3]
Below that, was the most popular comment.
[In this wave, Teacher Ruan was most impressive. Thumbs up.jpg]
The 1st love rival is out of the way, let’s see if there will be more to come.
Thank you for the update!
Oh no… I caught up~
I was too busy laughing!
Thank You for the new chapter (´,,•ω•,,)♡
