CEFYMA: Chapter 106

In an instant, the atmosphere in the cabin became tense. This tension was caused by Yan Tingxuan and the others.

Guan Tong also smiled and couldn’t help complaining, “Why is Chairman Pei so strange today?”

You Mian pursed his lips, blinked, and didn’t speak.

Pei Huaiji had no idea what he had done. He walked over to You Mian and sat down. His eyes were calm, and his every move exuded a domineering aura without any restraint.

Yan Tingxuan was still holding the water cup as he glanced at You Mian and Pei Huaiji.

If he was to use a phrase to describe the current state of these two people, Yan Tingxuan would definitely say, ‘The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes.’

You Mian’s frequent blinking and scratching of the thin calluses on his hands were so familiar. He only did this when he was nervous or at a loss.

On the other hand, Pei Huaiji might still be cold and steady, but Yan Tingxuan could see a hint of showing off and uncontrollable joy with a very keen and hostile perspective.

It was like he had received some reward that made him very happy.

Yun Guanqing stood in this atmosphere with a gloomy look in his eyes. He suddenly let out a breath and suggested, “The scenery here is so beautiful. Why don’t we go out for a walk?”

Everyone became interested after hearing this.

After all, this was the last recording of the show and the whole process was being aired live. They all felt a bit reluctant, especially Guan Tong.

Therefore, Guan Tong was the first one in the group to respond to the call. He said, “Let’s go out for a walk.”

You Mian stood up and put on his coat. Everyone else headed for the door, except for Pei Huaiji, who stayed where he was. He stood behind You Mian and gently pulled the white fluff on his down jacket.

The live stream cameras were fixed not far away. As the attractive guests walked out one by one, the last scene on the screen that flashed by was that of You Mian and Pei Huaiji who were still there.

Pei Huaiji’s eyes were calm but his movements were not.

You Mian was gently pulled by him and looked back. His amber eyes were full of a smile but there was also an obvious look of complaint.

Pei Huaiji didn’t know what he had done wrong. He stroked the white fluff with his palm, gently pulled a tuft, and said, “It is cold outside. Close the zipper.”

You Mian pursed his lips and obediently pulled up the zipper of his coat. His cold white chin was hidden in his neckline, and he looked very warm.

[Why did the camera turn to the door? I want to see what Chairman Pei and You Mian are doing inside!]

[They must be secretly kissing.]

[I’m going to make trouble. They are alone, but I can’t see it!]

Without waiting for the barrage to keep talking about it, You Mian and Pei Huaiji finally walked out a few steps behind the rest of the group.

The air outside the house was fresh, and there was emerald green bamboo everywhere. The building stood in the middle of the frozen lake. Except for the stone bridge connected to the gate, it was easy to walk on the surface of the ice lake to other locations.

The moment You Mian walked out, he saw that Guan Tong had already run onto the frozen lake.

“Stay safe!” You Mian reminded.

Yan Tingxuan and Huo Yanzhi found a few ice sleds and skates that the show’s staff had arranged in a corner.

“This is quite interesting.” Yun Guanqing picked one and wanted to sit on it. He turned around and asked You Mian, who was standing to the side, “Do you know how to skate?”

You Mian nodded calmly. “A little bit.”

[Hahahah, it is this devilish whisper of ‘a little bit.’

[Mianmian’s ‘a little bit’ is completely different from mine! Crying.]

Huo Yanzhi unceremoniously took an ice sled and admitted, “I’m not very good at skating. I’ll just sit on this.

The ice sled was a skating tool that allowed them to sit on the ice and use two poles to propel themselves forward. It was easy to get started. They could just sit on it and play.

Guan Tong, who had been running laps crazily on the ice in the distance, came back excitedly when he saw this.

“Do you want to play this? This is good. It is suitable for people like me who can’t skate.”

Guan Tong enthusiastically followed Huo Yanzhi and sat on an ice sled.

You Mian was sitting with Pei Huaiji next on the wooden board of the hut to put on their skates. In the distance, Shen Nanxiao was throwing bait into a small hole specially opened by the show’s staff, apparently trying to fish.

In the busy atmosphere, Yan Tingxuan put on his skates and stood beside the house. He leaned against the bamboo wall and smiled slightly. “It seems there are only the three of us skating. Let’s go for a spin together?”

You Mian tied his shoelaces tightly without raising his head.

Yan Tingxuan knew that Pei Huaiji’s calm personality wouldn’t allow him to do anything abrupt or confrontational before the final confession day, so he made the invitation so blatantly.

[Here it comes again.]

[Will Chairman Pei refuse?]

[Chairman Pei generally respects Mianmian’s thoughts, and it is unlikely that he will directly disagree.]

[Brother Chair, sometimes you have to be strong! Mianmian doesn’t like this person surnamed Yan!]

But just when Yan Tingxuan was full of confidence and the barrage audience was anxious, Pei Huaiji, who had never shown strong offensive power in the show, actually said coldly, “I don’t know how to skate. Mianmian has to teach me.”

Yan Tingxuan’s eyes widened, and he was unable to hide his surprise.

You Mian lost his strength in the last step of tying his shoelaces, and they fell heavily.

You Mian: “.”

Pei Huaiji called out the name ‘Mianmian’ so calmly that Yan Tingxuan instantly realized a change might’ve occurred.

Pei Huaiji made no secret of his possessiveness over You Mian. His gaze toward Yan Tingxuan contained even greater force and momentum than in the previous episode, like a lion protecting his territory. He looked over coldly with a sense of oppression.

Yan Tingxuan laughed in a sour and complicated mood. Then he turned to look at You Mian.

He knew that You Mian never liked people who were overly strong. Didn’t Pei Huaiji’s behavior make You Mian feel uncomfortable?

Yan Tingxuan opened his mouth and asked, “You Mian, what do you think?”

You Mian felt amused for a long time when he heard Pei Huaiji bring up the same excuse he made last time when skating.

You Mian stood up lightly and responded, “Yes, it is just like Pei Huaiji said. I want to teach him how to skate.”

You Mian stretched out a hand toward Pei Huaiji and pulled the man. The two of them slowly slid on the ice toward the periphery of the lake.

Yan Tingxuan’s expression became gloomy and he was more and more certain about his guess.

[Ahhh! They are holding hands!]

[I want to cry and ask Chairman Pei, ‘Is Mianmian’s hand soft?’]

[D*mn, Mianmian is so cute. Chairman Pei is very different today. I’m rooting for you! Go go go.]

[Chairman Pei is a bit different now. He seems more domineering, a bit like the first episode. He is cold and a bit scary, hmm.]

[Brother Chair finally raised his alarm bells when facing the other guests of the lily of the valley group.]

[This is good jealousy. The possessiveness is too strong.]

Yun Guanqing and Huo Yanzhi were sitting on the sled and sliding forward with a grunt when they saw You Mian and Pei Huaiji walking to the side. The two of them were skating slowly hand in hand. From time to time, You Mian’s voice could be heard. It seemed that the young man was teaching Pei Huaiji how to skate.

Pei Huaiji’s movements were a bit clumsy, but he could at least maintain the basic balance.

You Mian held him. Their two palms touched and their bodies were also very close.

Originally, You Mian thought that Pei Huaiji’s excuse for not being able to skate was the same as the last time at the ski resort. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him really couldn’t skate. His seemingly steady steps revealed obvious unfamiliarity.

The frozen lake was far from the live stream cameras. You Mian was no longer worried about whether to pretend or not. He smiled gently and asked quietly, “You really can’t skate?”

Pei Huaiji held You Mian’s hand, pursed his thin lips, and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Yes, I really can’t.”

You Mian laughed a few times. “I thought you were pretending.”

Pei Huaiji followed You Mian’s footsteps, and the two of them slowly took turns moving forward.

Half a second later, You Mian heard Pei Huaiji say, “I thought you guessed that my disguise skills aren’t very good.”

You Mian instantly remembered Pei Huaiji’s performance in the house just now. The smile on his face became more obvious. His amber eyes were curved and bright.

“It is hard for you.”

Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes calmly, his voice magnetic. “You aren’t angry?”

Pei Huaiji’s fingers once again pinched the circle of white fluff hanging from the hood behind You Mian. He seemed to like the touch.

You Mian took Pei Huaiji’s hand and quickened his pace. “I won’t embarrass those who can’t lie.”

Pei Huaiji felt the cold wind blowing on his face and could hear You Mian’s breathing clearly in his ears. The two of them were skating on the wide ice surface. It seemed that everything around them had gone away and only they were left.

The atmosphere between You Mian and Pei Huaiji seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

But this change made it difficult for others to grasp for the time being.

Yun Guanqing looked at the two people skating in the distance and suddenly felt that he had lost too much.

Yes, he didn’t know how to skate either. Why didn’t he think of asking You Mian to teach him?

Huo Yanzhi sat on the sled in a daze, his eyes following the two people in the distance.

He hadn’t seen You Mian for a long time. At this moment, a sense of strangeness was already rising in his heart.

It seemed like the time they had spent together in the past was a long, long time ago.

Huo Yanzhi was already on the verge of forgetting. He also felt like he would never have the chance to get along with You Mian happily as friends again.

An intense sense of loss enveloped him, causing the man’s brow to furrow tightly.

You Mian and Pei Huaiji slid to the left side of the lake. Pei Huaiji’s movements and postures had become proficient.

The two of them stopped near Shen Nanxiao and Guan Tong, and Pei Huaiji didn’t let go of You Mian’s hand.

Shen Nanxiao was about to lift the pole when he saw them. He couldn’t help smiling and asked, “Are the two of you skating?”

Guan Tong’s gaze fell on Pei Huaiji and You Mian’s hands, and his eyes widened instantly.

You Mian blinked and struggled slightly, but failed to break free.

Pei Huaiji calmly explained, “I don’t know how to skate. You Mian is teaching me.”

Guan Tong and Shen Nanxiao sighed while pulling up the fishing pole. They easily believed Pei Huaiji’s words.

As a large fish was fished out from under the frozen lake, You Mian struggled gently once again.

Pei Huaiji didn’t let go but held it tighter. He looked sideways and said, “Teacher You, I will fall if you let go.”

You Mian said helplessly, “You’ve already learned it.”

Pei Huaiji replied objectively, “It will take some time to practice.”

“You brought me to the ice, and it is full of dangers,” Pei Huaiji stated calmly. “You have to be responsible for me.”

Guan Tong and Shen Nanxiao were busy putting the big fish into the bucket and only heard Pei Huaiji’s last words.

Guan Tong: “!!”

Shen Nanxiao: “??”

You Mian stopped struggling and instead gently scratched Pei Huaiji’s palm with his fingers.

“In that case, just hold it for now,” You Mian said helplessly.

Pei Huaiji’s ears turned red because of You Mian’s actions. He raised his chin slightly and hummed.

You Mian looked at Pei Huaiji, who had already revealed most of his talent, and thought it was a good thing that it was already the last episode.

Shen Nanxiao caught the ingredients for lunch. Just as everyone left the ice and approached the bamboo house, the task card for the last episode of the show was delivered.

But except for Pei Huaiji, all the lily of the valley guests looked heavy. It was as if they suffered a blow or realized some fact. They all looked sad.

[I watched the whole show of the young couple skating hand in hand and felt very satisfied. Hahaha.]

[The live stream cameras were too far away. I don’t know what they talked about.]

[Brother Chair is the most awesome!]

[Chairman Pei held someone’s hand and wouldn’t let go, hahahaha.]

[The other guests look so gloomy. I like this type of shura scene. I didn’t expect that there would be a shura scene in the last episode.]

Hong Sheng’s voice came from behind the camera.

“Please pay attention. The last couple’s date of the Heartbeat House is coming soon.”

The moment You Mian put on his shoes, he saw two rows of wooden stakes in front of the cabin. The stakes on the left and right were tied together with ropes. The ropes were tangled in a mess, and it was impossible to tell which stakes were tied together.

As the barrage was excitedly discussing it, Hong Sheng said, “Please ask the guests from the iris and lily of the valley groups to stand on the left and right sides of the stakes, and each choose a stake rope. After you have made your choice, we will untie the tangled ropes in the middle.”

“The guest who finally chooses the rope that is connected together will go on the last couple’s date of the Matching Heartbeat show! The date will last up to 12 hours!”

Yun Guanqing’s eyes lit up. “A 12 hour date for two?”

It was possible to turn the tables!

Yan Tingxuan and Huo Yanzhi also became interested immediately. Their eyes were sharp.

You Mian stood up leisurely and walked to the wooden stake on the left, standing still. Pei Huaiji stood opposite him and looked at him from a distance.

[12 hours? That is a whole day!]

[Ahhh, I am praying! I am praying so hard! Let Mianmian and Brother Chair be in the same group!]

[Please, I want to see Mianmian and Brother Chair’s double date in the last episode!]

[Please, please!]

Pei Huaiji had never felt so nervous before.

The 12 hours mentioned by Hong Sheng shouldn’t be a variable he should be afraid of, but people worried about gains and losses when they fell in love. Pei Huaiji changed from an indestructible and confident person to a hesitant person.

He lowered his eyes and observed the four ropes in front of him, imagining in his mind how they would be connected after being taken apart.

Once Pei Huaiji saw You Mian choose the third wooden stake on the left, he felt for the first time that his observation ability was such a useful weapon.

As the other three people were still confused and the barrage hadn’t reacted, Pei Huaiji stepped forward and grabbed the rope of the second wooden stake on the right.

[F*k, he picked so quickly? Did he just pick one at random…]

[Don’t be impulsive, Brother Chair!]

[I’m so nervous that I’m about to puke.]

[Believe in Chairman Pei!]

Pei Huaiji didn’t see these doubts. He just looked up at You Mian in the distance and frowned in a domineering manner.

He thought to himself that he must’ve chosen the right one.
