Chapter 147: Love Variety Show: Saving the Scandal‑Plagued Movie Emperor 16

Song Pojian was a bit nervous, still worried that Jin Chen might not like it, so he just watched him lift it.

The fruit plate held papaya and melon; beside it, yogurt and Spanish ham looked delicious; in the center sat a lightly alcoholic liqueur with ice cubes, the bottle still dripping water droplets.

And two transparent wine glasses leaning together, and a coconut.

"Don't you like it?"

Seeing Jin Chen not speaking, Song Pojian felt nervous and disappointed, pursing his lips as he asked.

At this moment, the sun gradually sank into the horizon, the evening glow appeared, radiating a crimson-gold light, shining on the sea and beach, sparkling.

It also shone on the two of them.

Jin Chen suddenly smiled, lifted his gaze, and looked at Song Pojian's side face bathed in the sunset's light and shadow, his voice gentle.

"How could I not like it?"

He raised his smile, pulled Song Pojian into his embrace, feeling somewhat moved.

"I just didn't expect, Pojian Ge, that you'd prepare all this."

"This is a very romantic surprise."

Jin Chen whispered, word by word, softly into Song Pojian's ear.

Song Pojian finally felt happy; the heart he had held up all day finally settled.

"As long as you like it."

He looked at the lunchbox Jin Chen had placed on the picnic blanket, his eyes full of anticipation.

In order to wait for the evening's delicious meal, Song Pojian ate nothing at noon.

Of course, he would never admit it, but he thought the food at the villa wasn't tasty; he'd been eating Jin Chen's cooking these days, and his already picky palate had become even more refined.

"I'm hungry."

Song Pojian was very honest.

"Then let's have dinner first."

Jin Chen opened the lunchbox; the portions inside were just enough for two.

Besides the oysters and mud crabs Song Pojian had ordered earlier, Jin Chen also prepared abalone, seaweed, clams, crab, gold-spotted fish and other delicious seafood, each cooked differently, perfectly blending the seafood's flavor with its accompaniments, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Song Pojian ate to his full satisfaction.

【One must go to the beach with the one you love! So romantic!】

【I didn't feel it before watching the show, but today seeing Chenchen and Jian Ge having a picnic on the sunset beach instantly made me a fan!】

【Both of them are romantic and practical! They're perfect for being together!】

Jin Chen opened the liqueur, scooped some ice cubes into both of their cups, and the richly bubbling liquor and ice collided and merged, making a cool hissing sound.

"Cheers!"

Jin Chen handed a cup of wine to Song Pojian, who took it and reached out to clink glasses with his, but suddenly his arm was hooked.

Song Pojian paused in confusion; the next second, Jin Chen's arm went through his, and their arms locked.

This pose…

Jin Chen first tilted his head back to finish the drink in his cup, then, with a hopeful smile, locked eyes with Song Pojian and blinked twice.

"Are you playing house?"

Song Pojian laughed and complained.

"Playing house? Yes, now I declare, you are my bride!"

Jin Chen went along with his words, laughing uncontrollably.

No matter how he resisted, Song Pojian could only blush slightly, tilt his head back, and drink the wine.

"After drinking the exchange cup, that counts as being bound."

Jin Chen hooked his pinky, shook it, and said, "No going back!"

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +20, total 60!】

Gazing at Jin Chen's fervent, unrestrained smile, even able to see his own reflection in his pupils, Song Pojian suddenly felt a bit teary.

He thought, he wouldn't regret it, as long as Jin Chen didn't regret it.

Even if they really left the show, there would still be plenty of storms and bloodshed they'd have to face.

Song Pojian always knew that love in the entertainment industry never lasts long, and he had witnessed many people's marriages and separations, yet he still held hope for this sudden, fiercely arriving love.

One must be brave at least once in life.

Just this once.

Perhaps it was the alcohol getting to him, or perhaps the atmosphere of the sunset beach was too wonderful; Song Pojian only felt carefree and delighted, as if all his past hardships had been defeated in this moment.

Jin Chen skewered a piece of melon with a bamboo stick and fed it to Song Pojian.

The two leaned against each other, sitting on the beach; not far away, coconut leaves rustled, the sea breeze brushed their faces, and the sunset glow illuminated the sea.

In his peripheral vision, Jin Chen saw the Director Team walking toward them.

0731 reminder.

【Host! The Director Team is here to take you back to the Villa to receive another love interest's surprise! A love-triangle showdown is coming! Run!】

"Pojian Ge, let's go for a walk."

Jin Chen stood up, brushed off the sand, then reached out and pulled Song Pojian up, saying, "Ultimate street‑walk upgrade! Beach stroll!"

He said jokingly.

Song Pojian agreed right away.

The Director Team approaching from not far away seemed to see the two stand up and quickened their pace.

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, took Song Pojian's hand, and quickly walked off in another direction.

"What's wrong?"

Song Pojian walked and asked, then turned back to see the Director Team chasing after them.

"Run fast, they're coming to grab able-bodied men!"

Jin Chen shouted, and the two immediately sped up, running toward the sunset sea breeze.

Their accompanying cameraman immediately caught up.

〖Wow! It seems someone is chasing us from behind! 〗

〖Hahaha, reasonable guess is the Director Team! 〗

"Alright, stop chasing!"

The Director Team staff's walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

They halted their steps, "What should we do about the surprise for the two people?"

"Let them go."

Shenmu shook his head helplessly in the control room, "Looks like this topic can only be brought up from someone else."

After all, he's the investor dad who invested 10 million; Shenmu dare not really anger Jin Chen.

In the run, seeing the staff not chasing anymore, the two let out a breath and slowly stopped; afterwards, with hands on hips, looking at each other somewhat out of breath, they burst out laughing.

Song Pojian reached out, tidying Jin Chen's hair messed up by the run, and could roughly guess why he had pulled him to run.

Although somewhat unfair, such a novel and crazy experience is hard to come by.

The sunset glow on the horizon grew increasingly dark red, and the sky gradually darkened.

The two held hands, slowly strolling back on the beach to the picnic spot.

"Pojian bro, get on, I'll carry you!"

Jin Chen squatted in front of Song Pojian, turned his head to look at him.

Song Pojian looked at him, "Why, I'm not tired."

"I just saw you holding your waist."

Jin Chen pouted, "Blame my eagerness; surely I strained my waist while running."

Song Pojian blinked; just now he had only subconsciously protected his waist, yet Jin Chen even noticed such a small movement.

His ears slightly red, he no longer refused, lying on Jin Chen's back, letting him carry him as they continued back.

Smelling the familiar agarwood, Song Pojian leaned on Jin Chen's back and lifted his gaze; before him lay an endless, tranquil sea.

Song Pojian suddenly had an illusion: Jin Chen was the sole piece of driftwood in this sea for him, making him feel utterly at ease.

Here, the two's private date was peaceful, and the comments gradually grew quiet.

It seemed no one wanted to break this warm atmosphere.
