By the time the staff member went downstairs with the finished drawings, Ji Yuxiao had already walked to the castle and knocked on the door.
The staff member quickly made preparations and walked to the door.
The door opened. A well-dressed maid appeared in front of Ji Yuxiao and said gently, “Welcome, brave warrior. The princesses and princes are waiting for you in their rooms. Next, you can look at the portraits of their beloved drawn by the princesses and princes to deduce which princess or prince is the one who likes you.”
The maid spoke before leading him to a desk. There were five drawings on them. Most of them were unfinished except for one that was particularly different. It was also the only one that looked like it was completed.
The reason why he saw that was because the drawing was particularly scribbled, but the person unexpectedly drew the face, body, arms, and legs. There were even the warrior’s sword and cloak.
‘This should be complete,’ Ji Yuxiao thought.
“Since the princesses and princes can’t write the words, all the writing was done by me. The handwriting can’t be used as a criterion for identification,” the maid hinted thoughtfully.
Ji Yuxiao nodded but still stared at the different drawing that was abstract and impressionistic.
The maid followed his gaze and thought, ‘Is this selected?’
This was really the case.
She asked, “You already have the answer, don’t you?”
Ji Yuxiao nodded. He pointed to the only completed, inexplicably familiar work and said, “I choose this.”
“Can you tell me why?”
“Probably because I am handsome.” Ji Yuxiao wasn’t modest. “It is handsome in capital letters.”
[Hahahahahaha, that’s right, that’s right. Qing Qing thinks so too!]
[Oh my god, Chairman Ji is so narcissistic I couldn’t see it before!]
[Is this the legendary heart connection? It is so sweet!]
[I knew that the CP I ship is the sweetest. Chairman Ji can really see it!]
[So Qing Qing is like this in your eyes [covers face].]
[Why? Chairman Ji knows his wife so well. Are you not satisfied?]
[Hahahahaha, thankfully, this drawing really belongs to Qing Qing. Otherwise, won’t Qing Qing be furious and ask, ‘Is my level so bad?’]
[Isn’t it that bad? [covers face].]
[How should I say it? This is called being different. The essence is drawn with one stroke.]
[That’s right. Impressionism in abstraction. It is dual genres!]
The maid picked up the drawing. She handed it to Ji Yuxiao and guided him, “Go up the stairs over there to the second floor and turn right. Go straight ahead and you will see a room with a crown pattern. Knock on the door. Then you can meet your princess or prince. Good luck.”
Ji Yuxiao was a bit curious. “What if I choose the wrong one?”
“Of course, you will come back here and make a new choice. But since you made the wrong choice, there will inevitably be a small punishment. Rest assured, the difficulty isn’t great. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Do you think you made the wrong choice?” The maid glanced at the drawing in his hand again and said gently, “I can give you a chance to change your choice while you still haven’t left.”
Ji Yuxiao was very firm. “No need. I think I should’ve chosen correctly.”
“How can you see it?” The maid asked.
Ji Yuxiao smiled. “I’m so handsome. If this drawing definitely isn’t me, who else can it be?”
The barrage laughed. [F*k, he is really narcissistic!]
[This is obviously a clear understanding of himself.]
[Hahahaha, that’s right. Chairman Ji, go up quickly. You are the most handsome!]
[It’s coming. We are finally meeting each other!]
[Ahhhh so excited, so excited. My CP is finally meeting!]
[I’m already holding my breath!]
The Passion CP squeezed the screaming chicken in their hands excitedly. They sat on the chair and watched Ji Yuxiao go up the stairs.
He went up to the second floor as the maid said. He turned right and walked all the way forward, finally arriving at the door with a crown pattern. He stood silently at the door and took a deep breath.
Ji Yuxiao carefully arranged his hem and cuffs, calming his inexplicably excited heart.
They were finally meeting. He didn’t know what his little boyfriend was doing at this time. Was he lying in front of the window and waiting for his arrival?
Was Lin Luoqing secretly calculating when he would come and what ranking he would be?
He didn’t know if the program team would inform Lin Luoqing if he had come. If not, it would be a bit of a surprise.
Ji Yuxiao raised his hand and knocked on the door expectantly.
Lin Luoqing thought it was a staff member. He said while eating almonds, “Come in.”
Ji Yuxiao pushed open the door and walked in. Before he could say ‘surprise’, he saw his boyfriend sitting on the chair with puffy cheeks like a little squirrel. He was holding a freshly peeled almond in his left hand and a bottle of milk in his right hand. There were other fruits and nuts on the table.
Ji Yuxiao, “……”
Lin Luoqing, “!!!”
The barrage suddenly burst out into happy laughter. [Hahahahaha, you didn’t expect it. You are outside working while your wife is on vacation inside the castle.]
[I’m laughing to death at their expressions. One didn’t expect the other to be like this, and the other one obviously didn’t expect him to be like this either.]
[Fortunately, Chairman Ji has been tidying up his appearance at the door for a long time, wanting to appear handsome.]
[I guess he was still very excited, thinking that he could finally see his wife. His baby must miss him so much!]
[Hahahah, but his baby has already forgotten him. His baby is busy eating almonds.]
[I burst out laughing on the spot. How is it, Chairman Ji? Are you surprised or not, happy or not?]
[Chairman Ji: Do you think I’m happy?]
[It is funny. Qing Qing, why are you so cute?]
[What are they still standing there stunned? Why aren’t they hugging?]
[Qing Qing can’t hug. He is still holding the almonds and milk in his hands [covers face].]
[Hahahah, Chairman Ji is so miserable!]
Lin Luoqing blinked. Then he finally realized that it was truly Ji Yuxiao.
He stood up and asked in surprise, “Why are you here? You completed it too fast.”
Ji Yuxiao thought, ‘…So I will go?’
“Did I come too early and disturb your tea time?” He wondered.
He thought Qing Qing would definitely be bored staying here alone, so he hurried all the way. Oh my god, Qing Qing actually had a very good life!
He ate a lot and even folded a small basket for himself!
Lin Luoqing was amused by these words. He put down the milk in his hand, walked up to Ji Yuxiao and fed the almond in his hand to Ji Yuxiao’s mouth. “Try it. The almonds they prepared are quite delicious.”
Ji Yuxiao thought, ‘…You really had a great meal!’
He cooperated and opened his mouth to eat the almond. Then he heard Lin Luoqing ask him, “How is it? Do you think it is delicious?”
“It’s okay,” Ji Yuxiao answered.
Once he finished speaking, he couldn’t help laughing again. He felt that Lin Luoqing was really a bit different and cute. “So you are here for afternoon tea?”
Lin Luoqing was very casual. “It’s okay. I am idle anyway. It is better to eat something. By the way, why are you so fast?”
“The levels they designed were relatively simple. I passed them easily,” Ji Yuxiao said.
[Simple? The program group cried silently.]
[The other guests are hugging each other and crying.]
[But Chairman Ji was indeed very relaxed. This is true.]
Lin Luoqing nodded without thinking too much. He pulled Ji Yuxiao to the chair and sat down.
“Here.” He put the water in front of Ji Yuxiao. “You are tired. Drink some water.”
After speaking, he picked up the almond on the table and peeled it. He finished peeling it and placed it in front of Ji Yuxiao.
Ji Yuxiao wasn’t very interested in this type of nut. He took the initiative to feed it to Lin Luoqing’s mouth.
“I peeled it for you.”
“You eat it. Don’t you like it?”
He stuffed the almond in his hand into Lin Luoqing’s mouth. He picked up a new one that hadn’t been peeled. He helped peel it for Lin Luoqing.
Seeing this, Lin Luoqing slowly ate it.
The Passion CP fans burst out laughing instantly. [Feeding each other is really sweet.]
[Qing Qing is so sweet. He knows how to feel sorry for Chairman Ji, so he handed over water and nuts.]
[Chairman Ji is also very sweet. He didn’t take a single sip of water and started to peel almonds for Qing Qing.]
[Hahaha, Chairman Ji, you are very enlightened.]
[Looking at Chairman Ji’s proficient technique, he probably does this a lot during his usual life.]
[Look at the way that Qing Qing is used to it. He probably eats a lot [amused].]
[F*k, it is a perfect match! Lock it up and swallow the key!]
[I also want to fall in love.]
[I’m different. I prefer to eat almonds.]
[Hahahaha, so do I.]
Lin Luoqing ate and asked him after remembering something. “Did you see my drawing?”
Ji Yuxiao nodded with a smile. “Yes.”
He put the peeled ones into the small basket that Lin Luoqing used to hold almonds.
“What do you think of my drawing?” Lin Luoqing asked.
Ji Yuxiao thought, ‘…How can I put this?’
Like father, like son? You and Xiao Yu really deserve to be father and son?
At this moment, Ji Yuxiao finally knew who Ji Leyu’s painting talent came from. Fortunately, the other child of the family didn’t follow him. It really wasn’t easy!
“Very good.” Ji Yuxiao seriously found advantages for him. “It is small but complete in every detail.”
Lin Luoqing was dissatisfied. “How is it small? The drawing is quite vivid. It isn’t small at all. It is very grand.”
“Yes, not everyone can think of writing ‘handsome.’” Ji Yuxiao boasted without any principles.
Lin Luoqing also felt that he was very witty. He smiled triumphantly, “Isn’t this a compliment for your handsome looks? It can be seen that you are the most handsome person in my heart.”
The Passion fans in front of the screen instantly screamed. [Listen, listen. This is too sweet! Qing Qing is really sweet. What a peerless cutie!]
[Chairman Ji, it is really cheap for you!]
[Sure enough, young couples in the passionate love period are the best. This is so full of love that it can’t be hidden.]
[Chairman Ji is really lucky to meet such a sweet Qing Qing. Woo woo woo, I’m crying with envy.]
[But Chairman Ji is also very good. He managed to praise Qing Qing’s drawing. Who can say this without being in true love?]
[Yes, that is Qing Qing’s drawing. Hahaha, the drawing is very good. Don’t draw it again next time.]
[Hahahaha, concentrate on being an actor, Qing Qing. Drawing isn’t really for you [covers face].]
However, Lin Luoqing obviously didn’t think so. He asked Ji Yuxiao for the painting, put it on the table and carefully looked at it several times. He still felt that this drawing was done very well and contained the essence.
“It is obviously quite graphic,” he said.
Ji Yuxiao nodded. “That’s right. How handsome is this cloak?”
The barrage: [??????]
[Cloak? Where did the cloak come from?]
[Maybe it is those two curved and smooth arcs.]
[Oh my god, isn’t that the wind?]
[Isn’t it two extra strokes because his hand slipped?]
[Didn’t he draw it incorrectly and didn’t erase it?]
[Chairman Ji, don’t open your eyes and talk nonsense!]
[Yes, Chairman Ji. Are you not afraid of making a mistake in your praise? Have you never thought about how embarrassing this is?]
It turned out that they were the ones who didn’t expect it.
In the next second, Lin Luoqing nodded in satisfaction and asked, “What else?”
[What else?]
[So it is really a cloak?]
[This really turned out to be a cloak?!!!]
[Ah… my eyes seem to be blind.]
[I’m also blind. Qinq Qing, you might as well just write ‘cloak’ directly.]
[This can actually be seen? It isn’t easy for you, Chairman Ji.]
[Awesome, Chairman Ji. Awesome!]
Ji Yuxiao was obviously more powerful than they thought. He immediately praised again, “How cool is this sword?”
[A sword???]
[Is it the one standing up?]
[I thought it was a wooden stick. It wasn’t?]
[Of course not. It is obviously a shovel. I have used this thing before!]
[Isn’t it an S-shaped snake wrapped around a stick?]
[I thought he drew it incorrectly again.]
[Is the sword-shaped like this (everyone knows it)? How is this a sword?]
[It is clear that Qing Qing has started to play freely.]
[Is there a possibility, I mean maybe, this is actually the pattern of the sword, the scabbard or the decoration of the sword?]
[?? Are you serious?!]
[Is this a pattern? A scabbard? A decoration? It is better to say it is a snake!]
[Chairman Ji can actually see this. It is true love!]
[Today, I understood what a tacit connection is. One person dares to draw and one person dares to admit it. These two are perfectly matched!]
[No wonder why Chairman Ji can always be with Qing Qing. I’m ashamed of myself. I can’t recognize it!]
[Me too.]
[F*k, this wave has directly sublimated them into soul mates!]
[Ahhhhhhh I want to say that they are very sweet. Only you can understand my drawing. This is too sweet!]
[I’m enjoying it, I’m enjoying it! No wonder why Chairman Ji can pick out this drawing at a glance. It is because he understood it from the very beginning!]
[Oh, my CP is really, really good! I’m not so serious when it comes to love. It is so good!]
[I ship it to death, I ship it to death!]
Lin Luoqing was overjoyed by this praise. He waved his hand and allowed Ji Yuxiao to keep this drawing in private.
Ji Yuxiao felt that he was so cute that it was a bit of a foul. He wanted to kiss Lin Luoqing but endured it.
He took an orange from the fruit plate and asked, “Do you want to eat it?”
Lin Luoqing nodded obediently.
Ji Yuxiao lowered his head and helped peel it.
“What about the others?” Lin Luoqing was curious. “Are they fast?”
“They should still be on the way,” Ji Yuxiao replied. “I haven’t seen them since the second level. I don’t know much about their progress.”
[It is early.] The barrage helped answer for him. [They are still on the second level.]
[At their speed, the two of you can eat slowly. There is no rush. Choose a house after eating.]
[Hahaha, I’m laughing to death. The other guests are tired, crying and feeling that the program group is so ruthless. Meanwhile, these two have started afternoon tea.]
[Is this absolute strength? So cool!]
[I have to admit that Chairman Ji is really awesome. It is simply on the level of a bug.]
[This is why I like Chairman Ji. He looks handsome, has strong ability and spoils Qing Qing. He is just perfect!]
[I won’t say anything. I just want to ask when these two will get married!]
Lin Luoqing couldn’t see the barrage, so he could only get the information from Ji Yuxiao. He was a bit surprised after hearing it. “You are so far ahead of them? Didn’t you say it isn’t difficult?”
“It really isn’t difficult, but it might be because I took a car. Everyone’s means of transportation are different. The transportation is chosen based on the ranking. I am first, so I chose the car every time.”
“How amazing.”
Ji Yuxiao peeled the orange and fed him a piece.
Lin Luoqing took a bite and his eyes curved when looking at Ji Yuxiao.
Looking at this, Ji Yuxiao felt that Lin Luoqing’s curved eyes were more like crescent moons than the orange in his hand. The bright eyes beckoned him in for a kiss.
He wanted to kiss Lin Luoqing and couldn’t control it. He leaned forward almost uncontrollably and dropped a kiss on Lin Luoqing’s lips.
Lin Luoqing’s eyes instantly changed from curved, crescent moons to full moons.
Ji Yuxiao smiled and left his lips. Then Ji Yuxiao said softly, “I saw you eating so happily and wanted to taste it too.”
“It is sweet.” His tone was tender.
It wasn’t known if it was the orange or him.
Lin Luoqing snorted. Then Ji Yuxiao raised a hand and fed him another piece of the orange, eyes full of tenderness.
