The snow in the forest hadn’t been cleared, already piled up to ankle height. There was no snowfall that morning, so everyone’s footprints stood out clearly in the snow. The towering trees stretched so high you had to tilt your head all the way back to see the tops. Every so often, one of the trunks would be marked with a strip of red cloth. They were markers placed by local residents to prevent people from getting lost. Yan Yao and her group had already been through the area once that morning,…-

The ice surface in winter was solid and thick. There’s no risk of it cracking but it was quite slippery underfoot, requiring constant attention to balance to avoid falling. Yan Yushan walked behind Xu Xishuang, his eyes fixed intently on his back. Anytime Xu Xishuang’s body leaned even slightly, Yan Yushan would raise both hands to either side of him, ready at any moment to catch him. 【Tsk tsk tsk, he’s not even pretending to hold back, huh?】 【Yan Yushan really seems worried about Xu…

After a couple of distracted rounds of Ludo outside the kitchen, inside, Xu Xishuang finally finished cooking the pot of radish and pork rib stew in front of him. Catching Xu Xishuang’s still-dazed expression, Yan Yao took the initiative to push open the kitchen door and called out to the people outside, “Dinner’s ready.” Straight man Xiang Yao had also finally come to terms with the fact that there were two gay men on this trip—and that one was pursuing the other—so he stepped into…

After a few minutes of steady driving through the snow, the van reached its destination. The cabin was surprisingly large for something in the woods. It had two floors, a steep gabled roof to keep the snow from piling up, and a warm brown exterior wrapped in strings of soft yellow lights, giving it a dreamlike glow. The three women in the van lit up the moment they saw it. They jumped out eagerly and hurried toward the cabin. Xu Xishuang followed behind them, wrapping his scarf another turn around…

Just like the netizens said, to clean up the mess Yu Shudie left behind, Shen Youlian took the initiative to start a new topic, easing the awkward and heavy mood in the van. Even though she had been retired from acting for over a decade, nearly everyone had seen her classic films—she was still the goddess in many people’s hearts. So whether it was the other guests or the viewers watching the livestream, everyone gave her face. With the help of Xiang Yao, who despite seeming aloof was actually…

The atmosphere inside the van turned subtly tense. Before she could let out a scream, Yan Yao clamped a hand over her mouth, faking a cough while silently screaming inside—her CP was alive again! Up front, Yu Shudie’s face twisted with a flicker of irritation, but she quickly smoothed it over, turning to look at Xu Xishuang with barely concealed hostility. Shen Youlian glanced between Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan with growing interest, clearly sensing something out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, the…

…… Before filming the variety show began, at Dr. Xu’s request, Xu Xishuang went with Yan Yushan to get another check-up at Dr. Xu’s clinic. Holding the test results, Dr. Xu looked serious as he asked the pale Xu Xishuang, who was lying on the examination bed, “How have you been feeling lately? Any better?” There were more tests done this time compared to before. Xu Xishuang had several vials of blood drawn and felt a little lightheaded. He blinked slowly and replied, “I feel…

The interview didn’t take long, but the cameras from the media present couldn’t help but drift toward Xu Xishuang. Once it ended and the film began screening, the main cast and crew all sat in the front row, so they could go on stage afterward to thank the guests who came to the premiere. This was Xu Xishuang’s first time seeing the final cut. He had to admit, Yan Yushan’s cinematography had a very distinct personal style—especially his use of color and lighting, which effortlessly drew the…

No matter how many times it happened, Yan Yushan didn’t think he would ever get used to Xu Xishuang’s sudden bluntness. It wasn’t like no one had ever asked him what kind of guy or girl he liked. In his early years after debuting, his stunning looks made him the constant subject of gossip, especially about love affairs. Reporters would ask questions like that all the time but after he refused to answer and even sued several people spreading rumors, no one dared bring it up again. Now, faced…

Xu Xishuang was filming the post-credits scene for the finale, which would be shown at the end of the last episode. Viewers who were used to skipping the credits might miss this brilliant twist. Just as Yan Zheng predicted in the show, Chen Muzhou didn’t actually die. He had planned everything before his escape—even the car explosion was part of his design. When the car veered off course, he had already changed into diving gear and slipped into the water right before the explosion, escaping the…
