Wen Bai woke up in the morning, feeling suffocated.
It was a suffocating difficulty in breathing.
He opened his eyes and realized his face was once again pressed against someone's chest.
The other person's collar was open, and the firm skin on their chest pressed against Wen Bai's face, squishing Wen Bai's recently plumped cheeks to the sides.
Wen Bai tugged gently but couldn't move. He then realized Su Ying's hand was holding him in place. Wen Bai reached out to push slightly, and Su Ying seemed to wake up.
"Hmm? Don't you have work today?" Wen Bai, still groggy, rubbed his eyes and tried to sit up, his head feeling like it was covered in a layer of white mist.
His left ankle felt a little heavy. He looked down and saw that Su Ying had put on his "foot adornment."
Wen Bai didn't pay much attention.
Before he could fully sit up, an arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him back. Wen Bai fell back onto the bed.
Wen Bai: "?"
"Today is a day off, want to sleep a bit more?" Su Ying, unusually, was reluctant to get out of bed. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Wen Bai became slightly more awake and his sluggish brain spun, as if recalling something.
Then, he obediently shrunk back into the covers.
He moved a bit, and then his hands quietly landed on Su Ying's waist.
Su Ying was startled.
Although he had been subtly influencing Wen Bai, getting a little closer, then a little more intimate, Wen Bai wouldn't refuse, but he would never take the initiative.
Wen Bai recalled how Su Ying had held him, adjusted his posture, pulled the other's hands over to rest on his waist, and then nestled obediently in Su Ying's embrace.
His head rested against, settling comfortably.
His active initiative today had a reason. Since Su Ying had promised to catch the male lead, and he remembered what System 001 had said about the passionate phase of a relationship requiring physical touch, he was naturally very willing.
Ji Tianle was a romantic at heart. Thinking that he and his goddess were now officially together, he had never formally confessed.
Moreover, recalling the situation at the time.
Although Lin Shuangshuang's admission felt like a temporary measure, he had been in a sorry state then, with a gag in his mouth, making it a memory he'd rather forget.
But words spoken are like water spilled, he didn't think Lin Shuangshuang could go back on her word, and he certainly wouldn't.
He just felt that this confession still needed to be made.
Ji Tianle decided to make it a grand affair, to give Lin Shuangshuang a formal confession.
As a witness to his romantic journey – Wen Bai, was naturally invited.
He enthusiastically invited Wen Bai to brainstorm ideas with him and participate in the entire process.
When Wen Bai received the call early in the morning, he was still in Su Ying's arms, dozing off and hadn't gotten up yet.
He listened to Ji Tianle's "chattering" for a while, then interrupted, "So, what time tonight? And where?"
Ji Tianle excitedly announced the time and location.
An amusement park.
Wen Bai stood amidst a circle of brightly colored bouquets of red roses, somewhat lost.
"Are you sure she'll like this?" Wen Bai asked, his soul questioning.
Ji Tianle was exceptionally well-dressed today. His hair had taken an hour for the stylist to fix, his clothes were specially prepared for today, and of course, there was the confession gift.
Holding a delicate velvet box, he could barely contain his excitement, "I've inquired. Shuangshuang has loved amusement parks since she was little. Confessing here is the most fitting."
Wen Bai looked at the sky that had already darkened, then at the amusement facilities which held no appeal to him, the environment with no food, and the colorful lights in the distance that hadn't fully lit up yet.
He looked doubtful, deeply doubtful.
Ji Tianle's confession today was undoubtedly very important to Wen Bai, and nothing could go wrong.
Wen Bai asked System 001, "Will she really like this?"
System 001 gave a positive reply, "The female lead does indeed like this kind of thing."
Wen Bai felt relieved, though he didn't quite understand.
However, he looked around and saw no one.
In this vast amusement park, from the moment he entered until now, besides him and Ji Tianle, there were only some staff members busy setting up the scene. There was no one else.
Ji Tianle saw Wen Bai looking around, his confusion clearly written on his face.
He chuckled, "Wen Xiaobai, you don't think I, Ji Tianle, would have random onlookers when I confess, do you? I'm definitely booking the entire place," he said, tapping Wen Bai's forehead, "What are you thinking?"
Wen Bai immediately dodged the hand that was about to tap him, his expression blank.
"Quick, help me see if anything needs to be changed there. Oh, and should I stand by the carousel or at the very top of the Ferris wheel to confess!"
Wen Bai took a shortcut and asked System 001, "Where did the original male lead confess to the female lead?"
System 001: "A dessert shop."
"Did he book the place?"
"Actually, the female lead prefers low-key."
Wen Bai understood.
Wen Bai turned around, "I think you should be special."
Ji Tianle listened attentively, "Tell me."
Wen Bai, this time with genuine certainty, conveyed, "She's very low-key, and she likes desserts."
Ji Tianle slapped his forehead, a moment of enlightenment.
And so, the venue was decided to be in front of the dessert cart by the carousel in the amusement park.
The scene was chaotic because Lin Shuangshuang was about to arrive, and the setup was not yet complete.
A notice board appeared outside the amusement park, stating: Limited invitation for ten couples to enter the park for couple activities.
As one of the helpers, Wen Bai led the couples towards the inner park.
However, Wen Bai glanced back out of the corner of his eye. There were even people pretending to be couples, just to come in and play today?
Never mind, he didn't care.
As a witness, Wen Bai witnessed Ji Tianle's confession to Lin Shuangshuang.
When Ji Tianle took out the velvet box and excitedly waved to him while holding Lin Shuangshuang's hand.
To avoid appearing out of place, he mimicked the scattered staff members around him and clapped his hands, though he didn't know why he was clapping.
Then the lights dimmed, and when they lit up again.
Wen Bai froze in place because the staff members had quickly retreated during those brief few minutes.
Now, as the lights came back on, more than ten couples were all kissing each other.
Wen Bai stood stiffly amidst the pairs of couples, his expression blank.
He turned his head and indeed.
A few meters away, Lin Shuangshuang, though a little embarrassed, actively kissed Ji Tianle. Then, Ji Tianle held Lin Shuangshuang tightly, getting more intimate.
It was Ji Tianle's style. He had been wondering why there was another activity.
So this was what they were waiting for.
But, how could those fake couples bring themselves to kiss?
System 001 sensed Wen Bai's strong confusion and voluntarily explained, "Host, those two men are not pretending to be couples. Men can also have love between them, and even get married."
Wen Bai averted his gaze. Okay.
He didn't want to look.
On the other hand, Wen Bai felt that this confession was unexpectedly smooth.
Wen Bai stood in place, waiting for a while, and felt something was wrong.
"They're all together, why is there no movement in this world?" Wen Bai asked.
System 001 mused, "There are many variables in relationships. They haven't gotten married yet, and the male lead could still snatch the female lead."
