A red sports car drove into the Duan family home garage. After the car was parked, Ms. Feng got out of the car in a hurry to go home.
The Duan family home was actually empty at the moment. Ms. Feng’s husband is on a business trip, and her son and daughter-in-law were also busy working outside. However, as a person in a very rich inner circle, Ms. Feng was very good at arranging her own life, so she wouldn’t feel lonely.
For example, although Ms. Feng was anxious to go home, she carried a box of tuna salad in her hand and planned to eat it for dinner. As a senior beauty who isn’t good at cooking, she often eats this kind of healthy food, especially when she is alone at home.
After opening the door, Ms. Feng didn’t even take off her shoes, she immediately picked up the remote control, turned on the TV and changed the channel to the Apple TV station. Qi laoshi’s program was playing on the TV screen. Ms. Feng breathed a sigh of relief, happily threw off her high heels, sat on the sofa and opened the package of the salad. Obviously, she planned to eat while watching TV.
As a host from Apple TV station, Qi laoshi has always been ranked among the top in the ratings of the host program, and Ms. Feng has always loved to watch Qi laoshi’s show. But today she was so anxious not because she wanted to catch up with his show, but to see her son and daughter-in-law on their drama together.
“The Sword of Heartlessness” will soon be broadcasted on Apple TV station. Duan Jiashu and You Xin, as the leading male stars of the drama, naturally had to run promotions with the cast members. As a broadcasting platform, Apple TV station directly gave them the opportunity to publicize their programs on their own channels. Today, Ms. Feng watched the program in which Duan Jiashu and You Xin participated in the promotions.
Sure enough, after Qi laoshi said his opening remarks, the stars of “The Sword of Heartlessness” crew entered the screen. Duan Jiashu and You Xin entered at the same time. Today, they were wearing white shirts and suit pants. Although they looked simple, they gave a good feeling when they walked into the stage together, which immediately caused the audience to scream. The videographer also understood this and gave a close-up of JiaXin. Although Ms. Feng didn’t scream, her eyes were also excited. She decided to take a screenshot of the scene of her son and daughter-in-law after the program was uploaded online.
After everyone introduced themselves, Qi laoshi cued Duan Jiashu and You Xin.
“Jiashu and Xinxin, we meet again!”
“Since you two are acquaintances, please entertain us first.” As soon as Qi laoshi finished, the CP fans under the stage screamed.
Duan Jiashu nodded. You Xin also looked calm. He smiled and replied, “Qi laoshi, ask us yourself.”
“Oh?” Qi laoshi made a real-life “doge” expression, “Then I shall. It’s said that in your drama, Xin Xin, your character and Jiashu’s have more interactions than him and the heroine. Is it true?” At the bottom of the screen, a row of enlarged subtitles immediately appeared 【Qi laoshi began to initiate something!】
You Xin probably didn’t expect that Qi laoshi would ask such a question as soon as they came up. He was flustered for a moment and quickly replied, “no!”
However, at the same time, Duan Jiashu said his answer very smoothly, “yes.”
The whole audience roared with laughter, and the actors who came couldn’t help ut end over laughing. You Xin and Duan Jiashu looked at each other. The camera gave You Xin a close-up. Maybe they thought You Xin’s embarrassed face was not funny enough that later, they added a huge drop of sweat on his forehead and gave him a subtitled caption: 【Zero tacit understanding or something else?】

Qi laoshi smiled and asked, “Did you really act on the same drama? How could you give the opposite answers?”

“Okay” Qi laoshi made a doge expression again, which caused some laughter. “Let’s ask Jiashu first.”
Duan Jiashu saw Qi laoshi’s signal, so he naturally picked up the microphone and explained to everyone in a very professional and serious tone.
“In this drama, You Xin and I act as martial brothers. We grew up together, learned swordsmanship together, wandered out of the mountain gate together, and even lived and died together. We have a deep emotional foundation. Therefore, strictly speaking, there are more scenes between us than me and the heroine.”
“Alright,” Qi laoshi took the lead in clapping after Duan Jiashu’s answer. “Very well said.” Screen subtitle: 【Logical and organized, this is Duan Laoshi!】
“Then You Xin, do you have any points to refute this?” Qi laoshi didn’t forget You Xin after he clapped his hands.
You Xin scratched his head, stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and then whispered back to the microphone. “I also think that what Duan laoshi said was actually very reasonable.”
The whole audience laughed again, and Qi laoshi didn’t embarrass him anymore. Instead, he gave You Xin a break. “It seems that you were too nervous just now. Alright, let me ask our other actors now.”
Looking at the interaction between her son and daughter-in-law, Ms. Feng smiled and laughed. She didn’t even bother to eat her salad. Seeing the host at the scene began to cue others, she sent a WeChat to her son.
Ms. Feng: 【Ah-Shu, you did a good job on the program! Mom is proud of you!】
Duan Jiashu: 【【cool】】
After talking with the cast members about all kinds of topics, the atmosphere of the show became more and more relaxed. Then the content shifted to the games.
The game in today’s program is a jump rope competition, which will be divided into three groups with two people per team. Two people in the same group need to stand face to face. One will move the rope and the other will jump over the rope at the same time. At the same time, the person who doesn’t need to move the rope needs to make different faces at the opposite person when jumping the rope. The final score is the number of times two people will jump in one minute plus the score of the faces. The group with the best performance is rewarded, while the group with the worst performance is punished.
The actors changed to sportswear for the convenience of activities, and in order to distinguish the teams, the colors of each group were different. Duan Jiashu and You Xin were wearing pink sportswear, and the way they stood together to discuss the game was very pleasing to the eye. Now the crew added a pink filter and created an atmosphere of “sweet love”. Ms. Feng, who was watching the show, was so excited that she immediately decided to save a screenshot of the pink couple on the Internet.
Soon it was You Xin and Duan Jiashu’s turn to jump rope. Because Duan Jiashu was relatively tall, he was responsible for moving the rope and You Xin was responsible for making faces. At the start of the game, it went smoothly. Duan Jiashu grasped the rhythm well while You Xin could also make faces while jumping. According to this momentum, the JiaXin group may get a reward! However, as soon as they achieved the third, You Xin fell to Duan Jiashu’s chest by accident. In the later stage of the program, the clip was paused, slowed down and played it again, coupled with the sound effect of the alarm. However, in the next second, Duan Jiashu immediately grabbed the skipping rope in his hand and held You Xin firmly in his arms.
“Ooooh!” The guests and the audience screamed together. “Be careful, be careful.” Qi laoshi immediately reminded them.
Although the program slowed the clip down, the actual recording time was not waiting for anyone. You Xin was lying in Duan Jiashu’s arms, his face a little red, but he immediately pushed the other away and began to jump up. But it was unknown whether it was because of tension or some other reason. After You Xin jumped once more, he began to lose his center of gravity again, but he was directly held in Duan Jiashu’s arms as soon as his body tilted. This time, their time ended before You Xin got up. You Xin let go of Duan Jiashu and walked aside, covering his face in annoyance. However, the audience under the stage were shouting “Aww!”.
“What are you doing? We’re playing a serious jump rope game, okay?” Qi laoshi made an exaggerated expression, and then suggested to Duan Jiashu, “Jiashu, you can actually move the rope later, and You Xin can continue to jump by adjusting his position!”
Duan Jiashu didn’t play well in the game but wasn’t disappointed. He put down the jump rope and slowly picked up the microphone. He was serious in his answer, “But I’m afraid Xin Xin will get hurt, so I don’t dare to take risks.”
“Awww,” the audience screamed again. Qi laoshi deliberately winked, “what’s the matter with this program group today? Why do I feel that my eyes are full of pink bubbles? It must be because Duan Jiashu and You Xin are wearing pink clothes.” After Qi laoshi’s words, the videographer especially gave You Xin and Duan Jiashu a close-up. Duan Jiashu looked at You Xin gently, while You Xin was still covering his face and her neck was red. He looked shy. Later, the editing team was very sensible and added the pink bubbles special effect to them.
Ms. Feng looked at this scene and her face was full of the glory of a loving mother. She couldn’t wait for the online upload, so she took out her phone and took pictures directly at the TV and sent it to Duan Jiashu. However, Duan Jiashu gave her a version of the pink effects in HD.
Ms. Feng: 【why is your picture so clear?】
Duan Jiashu: 【photos taken by fans at the scene 【cool】】
Ms. Feng: 【do you have any more, send me more!】
Duan Jiashu: 【no 【cool】】
Ms. Feng: 【【thumbs up】】
After this, Duan Jiashu and You Xin’s Pink team naturally got the punishment. When Qi laoshi announced it at the end of the game, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
“I realized that Duan Jiashu and You Xin really have such a tacit understanding. Every time, they win the last place in group games. You two are really the best partners for each other!” With that, he stretched out his hand in the direction where the two stood, and the screen showed the two people in time. You Xin smiled while Duan Jiashu looked very proud and raised his thumb. The program added an “awkward look” filter on You Xin, but added a golden light filter to Duan Jiashu’s thumb. Later Subtitles: 【Best (this word is crossed out) partners】
“Let’s see what the punishment is?” Qi laoshi looked at the card in his hand. “Because rope skipping and making faces have additional difficulties, today’s punishment measures are completely aimed at the person weaving the rope, that is Duan Jiashu. Please choose any person on the stage to princess hug and do ten squats.”
The audience immediately cheered.
“If you do a princess hug, you’d better choose a girl.” Qi laoshi looked at the actresses. There were two actresses in the show. The heroine was petite while the second female member was taller. So as the male lead, Duan Jiashu should princess hug the heroine.
The camera showed the heroine who covered her mouth and smiled then moved the screen to Duan Jiashu, who was expressionless. There was a suspense sound effect on the TV. Duan Jiashu said decisively to the microphone, “I choose You Xin.”
You Xin was immediately inserted into the screen with Duan Jiashu and the heroine. He was still calm and watching. When he heard Duan Jiashu’s words, he immediately widened his eyes, but he still tried to close his mouth, so his mouth movements looked very funny. Those who saw You Xin’s expression, even the embarrassed heroine couldn’t help laughing.
However, Duan Jiashu didn’t care so much. He immediately came forward and moved forward with his choice. He hugged You Xin’s waist in one hand and embraced his legs. He was very skilful in the princess hug, and then adjusted his posture to start squatting. You Xin was frightened by Duan Jiashu’s sudden move and completely lost control of his expression. He had to lower his head and hug Duan Jiashu’s neck like a quail, waiting for the other to finish. The audience cheered as they counted the squats. There was nothing wrong with the action, and they showed quite a tacit understanding.
When the punishment was over, Qi laoshi looked at Duan Jiashu and was very speechless: “Jiashu, why did you choose You Xin? Is You Xin lighter than the heroine?”
Duan Jiashu calmly replied, “Because I chose You Xin at the beginning of the show. Since I have made a choice, I will go through with it. As for the question of weight, because I only held You Xin before, I don’t know who is lighter.”
There were more screams from under the stage.
Qi laoshi clapped his hands and could hardly speak.
You Xin was still facing the microphone with a red face. “The heroine must be light, I’m actually very heavy!”
“You’re not heavy.” Duan Jiashu gave You Xin a gentle look.
The whole TV screen turned into an ocean of pink bubbles again.
Ms. Feng looked at the TV with her face in her hands. Then she blinked as if she felt a trace of doubt. She took out her phone and sent Duan Jiashu another WeChat.
Ms. Feng: 【Ah-shu, why did your words sound so familiar today?】
Duan Jiashu: 【Oh, that’s the words I copied from my father’s notebook 【cool】】
Like father, like son~
