Hearing this question, the others all broke into smiles.
Jiang Yanchen, however, did not have much of a reaction. He raised his microphone: "Blind boxes."
"Why is that?" The reporter was a bit surprised, originally thinking he would say the chicken farm.
"I don't know," Jiang Yanchen refused to answer.
What else could the reason be? Ji Zhaoxi had accidentally brushed against him, and his heart rate had started spiking like crazy, making him look like a pervert...
Ji Zhaoxi was still laughing at him from the side, but then it was her turn.
The reporter's face was full of teasing: "May I ask Teacher Ji, who is your favorite person on this show?"
The director standing nearby let out a puzzled 'oh': "It couldn't be me, right? I feel like Teacher Ji really likes me."
Ye Mubai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I quite like everyone on the show," Ji Zhaoxi said with a smile. "But the one with the most talking points has to be Teacher Jiang."
Beside her, Jiang Yanchen couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately livened up. The director, sitting in his seat, mimed shooting a basketball into the air and shook his head regretfully: "My true feelings were given to the wrong person."
Lin Yichen sat at the very edge. He wasn't as active as usual, his face filled with impatience. The media below had already been briefed, so no one dared to ask him any questions.
Lin Yichen's fans were holding up light signs in the audience, hoping he would see what was written on their papers.
"What should I do? I feel like baby Yichen can't see it."
A friend beside her comforted her: "It's okay, hold it a little higher, he will definitely see it."
The fan was wearing Lin Yichen's support outfit, with his support headband on her head, plus the light sign in her hand, making her very eye-catching.
Finally, Lin Yichen looked over. The fan immediately got excited and lifted the board she had written on. Lin Yichen swept a cold glance over it and lowered his head again.
The fan's expression instantly turned sad. Her friend quickly consoled her: "It's fine, with so many people, he probably just didn't see it. Didn't you tell me before that he really spoils his fans? If he saw it, he would definitely acknowledge you."
But Lin Yichen never looked over again.
On stage, Ye Mubai was speaking with red eyes: "Teacher Ji might think it was nothing, but that princess carry back then really meant a lot to me."
At that time, Lin Yichen called her fat every day, and she didn't even dare to eat much.
The host quickly handed Ye Mubai a tissue: "This truly is a very beautiful memory. I'm sure that even years from now, Teacher Ye will still remember the warmth she felt in her heart at that moment."
"How about we recreate this iconic scene right here for our fans in the audience?"
The fans below cheered in agreement.
Ye Mubai hadn't expected things to develop to this point, and her face instantly turned red: "Isn't this a bit too much trouble?"
Ji Zhaoxi leaned over to look: "It's fine, Mubai. If it's convenient for you, let's just recreate it."
It could casually get them on the trending searches, too.
Holding the microphone, Ye Mubai said shyly, "I should be a bit lighter now than I was back then, so Teacher Ji can carry me more easily."
"It's no problem." Ji Zhaoxi scooped Ye Mubai up into her arms.
Screams erupted from the crowd below, and camera flashes went off continuously. Ye Mubai's face was incredibly red, and even after Ji Zhaoxi set her down, the flush on her cheeks hadn't faded.
Then, the others were asked questions. The Xi-Chen couple fans kept their cameras aimed at Ji Zhaoxi and Jiang Yanchen.
They didn't interact much on stage, barely even speaking. After filming for a long time, they only caught Jiang Yanchen opening a bottle of water for Ji Zhaoxi, and the two leaning in to exchange a few words.
The fans couldn't stop sighing; they had originally thought there would be a lot of sweet moments today.
At the end, the director gave a long closing speech, eventually moving himself to tears and crying profusely on stage.
The fans and media below watched him with calm expressions.
Director: ...
The crying stopped instantly.
After the closing ceremony ended, the director refused to let them leave, forcing them to go out for a meal together.
How could these people have no sense of ceremony at all!
The director hadn't cried enough on stage, so he continued to cry while eating in the private room. Ye Mubai was infected by his emotions and hugged the director, crying along with him.
The waiter who came in to serve the dishes was startled by their miserable wailing and quickly retreated after setting the food down.
Jiang Yanchen kept serving Ji Zhaoxi, peeling shrimp one moment and pouring water the next. Ji Zhaoxi told him to eat his own food, but he refused.
Jiang Yanchen thoroughly enjoyed this process; only the most intimate people could do such intimate things.
But he was clumsy at it, taking quite a while before he became proficient.
Shen Huaiqiu watched this scene, his face dimming. Jiang Yanchen noticed Shen Huaiqiu's gaze and was furious.
He really wanted to just go over and kick him a couple of times. Could he stop looking at his girlfriend, fiancee, and future wife with such a disgusting look?
Ji Zhaoxi pulled at him slightly. Jiang Yanchen lowered his head: "What's wrong?"
Ji Zhaoxi whispered, "Stop helping me with the food, everyone is watching."
Jiang Yanchen frowned deeply: "So what?"
Jiang Yanchen looked at Ji Zhaoxi accusingly. They were dating openly, not sneaking around. What did it matter if people saw?
Unable to handle Jiang Yanchen's stare, Ji Zhaoxi sighed: "Fine, fine, you do it."
Jiang Yanchen was finally satisfied.
After the dinner party ended, Jiang Yanchen drove Ji Zhaoxi home. Ji Zhaoxi was a little drunk and was very quiet the whole way.
Taking advantage of Ji Zhaoxi's slightly hazy state, Jiang Yanchen deliberately drove around in a few extra circles.
After a long time, Ji Zhaoxi mumbled, "Are we not there yet?"
Jiang Yanchen guiltily replied, "We'll be there very soon."
A short while later, Jiang Yanchen's car finally stopped downstairs at Ji Zhaoxi's apartment building.
Ji Zhaoxi turned sideways, her head resting crookedly against the car window. She had completely dropped her guard, sinking softly into the seat. Because of her drunkenness, her eyelashes drooped wetly, casting two shadows under her eyelids, with a few stray hairs sticking to her cheek.
Jiang Yanchen stared at her blankly. The knuckles of his hands gripping the steering wheel turned slightly white, and his heart melted entirely.
"We... we're here," Jiang Yanchen said softly.
Ji Zhaoxi gave a muffled response but still didn't move.
Jiang Yanchen's Adam's apple bobbed. He leaned over to help her unbuckle her seatbelt. Ji Zhaoxi groggily opened her eyes and rubbed against his chest.
Jiang Yanchen's body instantly stiffened. He looked at Ji Zhaoxi in his arms, his heart pounding heavily as if struck by something, his face turning incredibly red.
Can I kiss her?
But wouldn't that be taking advantage of her?
Aren't we dating? What's wrong with a kiss!
Jiang Yanchen was so nervous he kept swallowing. Looking at Ji Zhaoxi like a thief, he held his breath and gave her a quick, trembling kiss on the forehead.
After the kiss, he immediately returned to his seat, lowered his head, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and let out a long sigh of relief.
The paparazzi who had been staking out nearby for hours: ?
The next day, the picture of Jiang Yanchen kissing Ji Zhaoxi's forehead appeared in the newspapers.
