The sensation of feet leaving the ground was magical, and sitting at a high place was quite an extraordinary experience.
It was Chu Yueyi's first time observing the world from such a perspective. The railing beside her seemed tiny, and even the staff in the corner appeared distant. Everything could only be viewed from above, and her field of vision suddenly became clear and expansive.
At that moment, she suddenly shed her idol image from in front of the camera, as if breathing in fresh air, and inexplicably felt invigorated.
Shi Guanghua lightly supported Chu Yueyi's legs with his arms, fearing she might accidentally fall. Fortunately, she didn't move around recklessly. His steps were steady, and he didn't even step onto the trampoline, instead walking on the thick soft mats, trying to stay away from the surrounding hard facilities to avoid falling and bumping into things.
Shi Guanghua walked a few steps at a leisurely pace, and hearing no response from her, he stopped and asked, "Are you scared?"
"No," Chu Yueyi looked down at him and muttered, "I'm not Princess Yaoyao, this is the new hero Agudo."
Princess Yaoyao was carried by the handsome and dashing Wild King, while Agudo was carried by the adorable big white bear. There were some differences between the two.
Shi Guanghua had hardly played Honor of Kings, so he naturally didn't know she was implying he was a bear. He hesitated and asked, "What's the difference?"
Chu Yueyi: "Agudo has a mount."
Shi Guanghua: "Indeed, it's almost the same. You have one now too."
Hearing his calm response, Chu Yueyi felt as if she had punched a cotton ball. Her mischievous intentions were dispelled by his good temper, and she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She nervously cast her gaze to one side and said softly, "Oh boy..."
Sensing her relaxation, Shi Guanghua quietly continued carrying her in circles, walking on the soft mats. He didn't speak again, like a silent and moving iceberg at sea, steadily bearing her weight.
As the novelty wore off, Chu Yueyi noticed he was walking tirelessly and began to feel guilty: "Isn't it heavy?"
Shi Guanghua: "Very light." And carrying her didn't make him feel tired.
Chu Yueyi said in surprise: "You stay in the studio every day, yet your physical fitness is still quite good?"
Shi Guanghua was almost rooted in the studio, and he seemed to rarely go anywhere else. It was unexpected that he wasn't actually a shut-in, which was quite surprising.
Shi Guanghua: "...I consistently exercise. The company has a gym."
Chu Yueyi instinctively gave a classic Lu Yu-style response: "Really? I don't believe it."
Shi Guanghua: "?"
Shi Guanghua often didn't understand domestic memes. He couldn't comprehend why she lacked such simple trust, and not knowing how to prove himself, he added, "You can ask the people in the studio."
Chu Yueyi laughed: "Cheng might outright deny that you exercise."
She now saw that Cheng often threw Shi Guanghua under the bus, and wondered how much resentment he had accumulated over time.
Faced with her speculation, Shi Guanghua actually couldn't refute: "..." Cheng did seem to be that kind of person.
Shi Guanghua glanced at the blue and white ball pool nearby. He reminded her to hold on tight, then slowly squatted down, letting her gently touch the ground.
Chu Yueyi didn't refuse. She was satisfied with her aerial tour, but found that he had carefully placed her in the ball pool instead of directly on the soft mat.
The pool was filled with blue and white plastic soft balls. The balls were hollow, soft and squishy when squeezed. Falling into them was like lying in soft sand, with the body sinking slightly.
Chu Yueyi leaned back. She covered her body with the soft balls, leaving only her head exposed, looking up at the lights above, and said relaxedly, "It feels like sunbathing."
Shi Guanghua also entered the ball pool. He pushed aside the soft balls around him, slowly swimming towards her, and said seriously, "I also don't know how to prove it."
Chu Yueyi: "?"
Seeing his body slowly being covered by the colored balls, unable to see the movements below his neck, Chu Yueyi curiously asked, "Prove what?"
The next moment, Shi Guanghua's hand touched Chu Yueyi. He fumbled to hold her hand, guiding it through the colored balls in the pool, drawing them closer together.
With only their heads exposed, others couldn't see their private actions below, only able to see them staring at each other.
Chu Yueyi was bewildered as he led her hand. Her fingertips soon touched soft fabric, followed by a warm and solid feeling through the cloth, making one think of smooth and tight muscle lines.
Shi Guanghua released her hand and said calmly, "Is this proof enough?"
"Yes, yes, it is." Chu Yueyi quickly withdrew her hand as if electrocuted. She nodded rapidly like a pecking chick, and then suddenly flushed, exclaiming, "You didn't have to take it so seriously!"
Goodness, just because she doubted he didn't exercise, he actually went this far?
Shi Guanghua let out a barely audible hum, accusing her with dissatisfaction: "I told you, but you didn't believe me."
Chu Yueyi couldn't help but tease: "Oh my God, that was just a meme from interview catchphrases. Don't always chat with me across servers..."
She felt her own competitive spirit was strong enough, but didn't expect him to be unexpectedly unwilling to lose either.
While Chu Yueyi and Shi Guanghua were chattering in the pool, the Chief Director and others on the shore were getting anxious. They couldn't interrupt the recording atmosphere, so they could only pace around anxiously like ants on a hot pan.
The Chief Director initially used hand gestures, but later found it extremely troublesome and simply typed in the group chat: [What are they doing? Why did the topic suddenly change? Can we get camera angles in the ball pool?]
The other staff naturally had to reply to him, and they also started typing.
[Boss, these are plastic balls, not a water pool. It's not easy to film.]
[I feel like Chu Yueyi touched something, weren't they just talking about exercise?]
[?]
[Just guessing, maybe she touched his arm or abs or something, wasn't he trying to prove it?]
[Is this content we can't film? Why did they run to the ball pool?]
[Are you suggesting the touched area is inappropriate?]
[???]
[Wait, you guys are not right, this is a work group, let's keep things professional...]
[Damn, I always felt there were Moonlight Science Club members infiltrating our group!]
[You're talking nonsense, I'm seriously discussing work, not asking about the pool!]
[Oh, getting anxious are we? The spy is panicking!]
The group chat suddenly erupted into chaos, without providing any filming solutions for the ball pool. Apart from the two guests being filmed, no one knew what Chu Yueyi had touched in the pool, leaving the staff to guess blindly, and without evidence, the speculations became increasingly outlandish.
The only solution left was to ask the parties involved directly, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it. How could they just say "Yueyi, where did you touch him?" or "Guanghua, where did you let her touch?"
That would be quite strange.
[We're supposed to be the show's staff, why are we guessing like the audience? Can someone clear out the ball pool? Let's see where they can hide then!?]
Of course, the production team didn't clear out the colored balls. After playing around, Chu Yueyi and Shi Guanghua calmly came ashore, completely unaware of the directors' frustration.
During the subsequent play, the two often had some sneaky little actions. Chu Yueyi was still okay, but Shi Guanghua was like a rebellious teenager. He loved to hide in corners that were difficult to film, as if deliberately opposing the production team.
It wasn't that the two guests weren't interacting sweetly, they just didn't want to be sweet in front of everyone. Saying they weren't cooperating would be too harsh; they didn't disrupt normal filming, but they leisurely kept everyone in suspense, refusing to let the cameras capture key moments.
Production team: We're getting anxious! Is there anything we can't film?!
Chu Yueyi sensed the Chief Director and others were on tenterhooks, but she felt Shi Guanghua had been cooperative enough with filming today, providing plenty of content for the show. So she didn't point out his little trick of dodging the cameras. As long as everyone's work was progressing normally, there was no need to chase performance indicators.
Moreover, she privately didn't want to be recorded by cameras either. Some things not appearing in the show meant they weren't just for work, but memories belonging only to them.
Many things mixed together often become impure, so it's better not to broadcast them.
She even momentarily understood his behavior.
After finishing playing in the entertainment area and having dinner in the building, they packed up and drove away.
In the cultural and creative park, Shi Guanghua drove Chu Yueyi back. Sitting in the car with the lights on, he watched her unbuckle her seatbelt, and suddenly asked with a straight face, "How was your service experience with me?"
Chu Yueyi was stunned by his words. She couldn't help but smile at him and replied, "Not bad."
Shi Guanghua extended his hand to her, calmly asking for: "A tip."
Chu Yueyi: "?"
"No," Chu Yueyi said, noticing his slight frown. She tapped his palm with her index finger and declared stubbornly, "But I'll give you a five-star review."
Shi Guanghua: "Does that mean you'll buy again?"
Chu Yueyi glanced at him in surprise and said bluntly, "No money."
Shi Guanghua probed: "...What about a discount?"
Chu Yueyi haggled: "How much? Like those billion-yuan subsidies? Is there a one-yuan purchase service option?"
Shi Guanghua: "..." You think this is Pinduoduo?
Shi Guanghua's eyes had a beautiful sheen under the light. He responded softly, "There is."
Chu Yueyi asked curiously, "What service?"
Shi Guanghua: "I'll sing for you next time."
Chu Yueyi: "A great musician's voice is only worth one yuan?"
"Mm, exclusive discount," Shi Guanghua looked directly at her, his tone both gentle and slow. "Using the microphone you gave me."
Even though Shi Guanghua hadn't officially sung yet, his soft and melodious voice was enough to tug at one's heartstrings.
Faced with his serious expression, Chu Yueyi let out a soft "oh," as if her heart had been brushed by feathers.
The two made their agreement in the car and said goodbye in the vast night.
The eighth episode finished filming smoothly. During shooting, the director's team was anxious on set, and after broadcasting, the audience's comments were also frantic.
Chu Yueyi gifted Shi Guanghua a microphone, Shi Guanghua was forced to sell his services, and the two went to play video games and trampoline together, leaving behind many dialogues that were repeatedly scrutinized.
-- It's great to be rich, the boss is generous! The streamer must sing a song late at night!
-- Suddenly imagining a singing concubine kept by the emperor.
-- What song will you sing? You have the audacity to make her sing?
-- Shi Guanghua, you're not up to it! You dare to ask for overtime? You clearly lack social beating!
-- Working overtime for her, this is your blessing!!
-- In today's society, are you even considered a wage slave if you don't work until midnight? You dare to leave without serving until late night?
-- Boss, his service is so expensive, can you tolerate anything less than 24-hour work?
-- With this income, he should sleep in the company! Sleep next to the boss!
-- Just playing games and trampolining with the big spender? Change the bed for jumping!
-- Good grief, you two are suspicious, take away all the chicken coops.
-- You two aren't Alucard, this is Gan Jiang and Mo Ye.
-- Production team, are you Princess Yaoyao? Even the swimming pool wasn't filmed clearly!
-- Low EQ: Useless. High EQ: Princess Yaoyao.
-- Teacher Shi, you swindler! What discount are you offering, give me a refund immediately!
Along with the heated discussion in the comment section, the Moonlight Science Club also created new question types based on the new content of the show, providing more learning and consolidation opportunities for the vast number of shipping enthusiasts.
Moonlight Science Club: Students, the answers to the new question type [Term Explanation] have been posted in the comments section. Please check after answering to promptly identify and address any gaps in your knowledge.
Huhu: May I ask, why does [singing] count as a confession? And [running away] is explained as eloping?
4672: For [singing], refer to Episode 4 in the café. [Running away] should be understood in context with Teacher Shi's awkwardness in avoiding the camera this episode. Think about it, think carefully.
Moonlight Ruio: The term explanation questions for this episode are incomplete. They obviously have something going on in private, like unlocking privileges, just topping up money isn't enough, etc. None of these were shown in the program, wuwuwuwu.
Little Bear: Even gift-giving is done privately, no wonder the Chief Director was anxious haha
Kaokao: Director: You think you're so great for not letting us film your publicly funded romance!
Tea South: They remained calm during the trampoline hugging, obviously they're already very skilled in private (?)
Mud Tile: They've definitely gone underground. The bride has entered the room, the matchmaker has been thrown over the wall, hahaha [thumbs up]
0a0: Shi Guanghua, as expected of you, number one at burning bridges after the wedding night!
