Chapter 1327: Sharp-Tongued Tsundere Celebrity & Super Rich Insecure Wife 04

At night, in the master bedroom.

Jin Chen had been filming for two days straight, already exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Although they shared a room and bed, Jin Chen didn't know who he was mad at, so he stubbornly took the blanket to sleep alone; the master bed was so big it felt like a double bed.

Shen Shi also went from nervous to slightly disappointed, watching Jin Chen's side profile—clearly within reach—but tonight's two conversations made him feel the transparent barrier between them growing thicker.

Jin Chen heard the person beside him tossing and turning; even though he was exhausted, he forced his eyes open, turned over angrily to look at him, his voice hoarse with fatigue.

"Practicing martial arts on the bed."

Shen Shi felt as if fate had seized his shoulder, leaving him unable to move.

He blinked innocently, shifted closer to Jin Chen, and couldn't help asking, "Why do you have to use a separate blanket?"

Shen Shi has always been sensitive, and Jin Chen is aware of that.

But what's annoying is that his sensitivity and suspicion come with a tendency to forget unimportant things.

Jin Chen's eyes flashed dangerously; he messed up Shen Shi's sleepwear collar, his tone far from good.

"Who said the sleep quality is bad, insisting on sleeping separately?"

Shen Shi blinked, "Ah..."

Turns out I was the one who said that.

He bit his lip, recalling it from some corner of his memory, and his grip on the blanket's edge tightened involuntarily.

"But... that was just angry talk."

Jin Chen: "Looks like I still need to take a class to tell when Director Shen is speaking angrily or seriously."

Shen Shi: ""

He had no reply, but also remembered what prompted him to say that line.

"It's because during that period you always came back with different perfume scents, and I found them hard to bear..."

That made him involuntarily imagine many things that couldn't happen, but Jin Chen's temper back then was even worse—he'd explode at the slightest provocation, and Shen Shi didn't want to argue all the time.

Left with no choice, he resorted to this tactic.

Recalling it, Shen Shi began to complain softly, "You come back smelling of perfume and don't wash it off... I... I tend to overthink, you know."

Jin Chen choked on his words, angry and unable to sleep, he flung open the blankets and leaned over Shen Shi without hesitation, his tone harsh.

"Director Shen, the forgetful big shot, don't all the resources under my control need your approval?"

Shen Shi was enveloped by a strong hormonal aura, his whole body went limp, his exposed collarbone flushed a shy pink, and his voice involuntarily turned soft and low.

"Why bring this up all of a sudden... The entertainment industry is deep; with my oversight, at least you won't go astray."

Jin Chen pinched his nose, both annoyed and amused, "How could you forget? I was filming a perfume ad back then."

Really over the top! Jin Chen even felt wronged on his own behalf.

"Here, that's the bottle you put on the table."

Shen Shi: ""

It seems... he really forgot.

So there was no other perfume scent; it was all a misunderstanding... again a misunderstanding.

Shen Shi's face turned pale; the earlier shyness was swept away by regret, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around Jin Chen's neck, his voice choking.

"Sorry."

Tonight he said sorry too many times, making Jin Chen feel a bit embarrassed listening.

"Zhuge Liang after the fact is useless; hurry up and sleep."

Jin Chen slipped into Shen Shi's blankets, holding him tightly, and warned, "If you keep moving, you won't sleep."

Shen Shi sighed, curled up obediently in the embrace and closed his eyes; after many days of restless sleep, tonight he finally found healing.

——

Jin Chen rarely stayed at the villa to accompany Shen Shi for three days, going nowhere.

Shen Shi's overwhelmed-by-favor expression was obvious, making Jin Chen's heart soften just watching.

Regarding this, Jin Chen admitted he had done poorly before—when problems arose he didn't solve them and didn't want to argue at home, so he simply ran far away.

Both being tight-lipped, misunderstandings arose this way, then piled up, eventually forcing them toward divorce.

Jin Chen said, "Love—if not spoken aloud, turns into a fart; even if released, no one knows."

In the two or three days waiting for the show to start, online discussion about "Heart-to-Heart" also heated up.

Besides the currently hottest "Steady Rise" major yuri couple, the "Auspicious Day" pair is the most popular.

But one is a fire of pink bubbles flying everywhere, the other is a black fire where countless people pour oil.

Many anti-fans said this live variety show could reveal Jin Chen's true face; beneath the handsome male fox façade of the entertainment industry lies an extremely dirty and selfish vicious heart!

Moreover, some of Shen Shi's fans said they were filthy rich, the dream of countless girls—plain cabbage—letting Jin Chen get a free meal!

Their marriage was only announced on Weibo; besides, even famous paparazzi couldn't capture any candy, proving this couple was already in name only, everyone waiting to see the joke.

One morning three days later, the director team showed up early, half an hour ahead.

Meanwhile, fans who had learned of the schedule change in the middle of the night flooded the streams; the split-screen of the four couples' live rooms opened simultaneously, and the first broadcast's viewership met the competition standard.

And those wanting to watch the chaos and hurl insults were clearly more numerous, causing the Auspicious Day live room's viewer count to surge.

Inside the master bedroom.

Just after waking, Shen Shi slapped the book shut, frowned at the cameraman and staff who had barged in.

Jin Chen was also awakened, leaning dazedly against the headboard toward the camera, then turned to continue leaning on Shen Shi's shoulder to regain composure, grabbing his hand to cover his ears.

Shen Shi glanced coldly at the camera, seemingly blaming the director team for waking Jin Chen's sleep.

"Wasn't it supposed to start at eight?"

Director Shen's aura was very oppressive; the cameraman's hands trembled as he stammered, "The... the plan has changed."

Shen Shi frowned, his gaze toward them as if looking at an untrained amateur troupe.

〖Hahahaha, the photographer is drenched in sweat! 〗

〖Director Shen is really pretty ahhhhh! Crazy flashing lights! 〗

〖I actually find Jin Chen's reaction kinda cute… omg……〗

〖Let's get something nice upstairs! Appearances are all an illusion—Jin Chen is a cancer in the entertainment industry! 〗

Shen Shi gently rubbed Jin Chen's ear, softly coaxing him to get up; Jin Chen drew out a hum, his hoarse, sleepy voice especially alluring.

After four or five minutes, Jin Chen finally woke up and crawled out of bed.

Shen Shi meticulously laid out today's shoot outfit, even readying the cuffs and brooch; meanwhile, Jin Chen leaned by the bathroom door washing up, watching him prepare the clothes, and the only sound in the room was the faint buzz of the electric toothbrush.

They didn't exchange much, yet the atmosphere before the camera inexplicably felt warm.

〖No wonder they're the only married couple among the four teams!! The warm husband-husband vibe is supreme! 〗

〖Mom, I never expected this pair to have this atmosphere! I thought I'd see Jin Chen being unreasonably playful! 〗

〖I keep getting the feeling that Jin Chen doesn't dare to be unrestrained in front of his wife… or is it just my imagination?! 〗

〖Ugh… I can only say don't be too looks-obsessed; do you not remember the little mischief Jin Chen has done? 〗

〖I don't see where the warmth comes from—could it be that they're just not close at all?! 〗

〖Laughing my ass off, I wouldn't help someone I'm not close with organize their intimate clothing; haters' mouths are tougher than life. 〗
