I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 232 - 221: The Sweet Burden

Mu Qianli could tell at a glance that Pei Jin was acting.

"Speak English!"

"I don’t want to act..."

Pei Jinxi lifted his head, spreading his hands. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The director could only helplessly shake his head.

Pei Jinxi said, "We do have disagreements, and might even quarrel, but it’s so rare to travel and we’re quite happy. There’s no reason to fight, and if you insist on having me act, I can’t do it. If you think there’s nothing to edit then just cut our footage shorter. We really don’t mind having less screen time."

The director instantly deflated.

My lord, oh lord, can’t we just not mess with you?

This couple had such popularity. Just by sitting there, that was traffic right there; they wouldn’t dare offend them.

Watching the director walk away disheartened, Mu Qianli said, "Actually, directors have it tough too."

Pei Jinxi replied, "Then how about we have a fight?"

"That won’t do. Didn’t you just say the mere thought of fighting with me makes you sad," she cooed as she pulled at his lapel.

"Hey hey hey, you’re about to kiss me," Pei Jinxi covered her mouth.

"Aren’t I allowed to kiss?" she asked.

Pei Jinxi glanced at the camera. "That would be a different price..."

In the end, the two of them didn’t get into that quarrel. They continued their leisurely stroll by the sea. In the afternoon, Pei Jinxi took Mu Qianli swimming, and at night he sang her a new song, composing it on the spot with a guitar in one hand and a pencil in the other, writing and singing as he went.

Finally, it was time for the four couples to meet.

Before meeting up, everyone already knew about Pei Jinxi and Mu Qianli. As they walked in and saw the couple in person, there was a collective sigh of admiration.

This couple was really something, so bold as to directly join a reality show.

But everyone thought deep down that perhaps this was a strategy to do the opposite of what was expected. After all, they had been exposed, so why not take the opportunity to make some money.

Everyone took their seats and the session of introductions and getting to know each other officially began.

"Hello everyone, I’m Qi Yu. I’ve been with Chen Fangzhou for three years."

"Hello everyone, I’m Zhou Meimei. We’re enduring a long-distance relationship."

"Truly enviable. We’re already married and lacking the vigor of youth."

Everyone’s attention turned to Pei Jinxi.

Pei Jinxi said, "We’ve just gotten together, still in the honeymoon phase."

"Wow, that’s great. By the way, who pursued whom?"

Of course, everyone was aware of their story, but they still played along, not stating it outright. Yet, their inner gossips couldn’t resist and asked straight away.

Pei Jinxi said, "I pursued her, I guess."

"Wow..."

Mu Qianli glared at him, then said, "I don’t think there’s such a clear cut who pursued whom in love. It’s not a competition. We just followed our hearts, got to know each other, and soon found ourselves having personal feelings for each other, naturally drawing closer."

"Is that so? We remembered that you’ve known each other for quite a while."

They couldn’t hold back any longer and dived straight into gossip.

Pei Jinxi said, "That was just knowing of each other. Truly getting to know each other... well, it started from the evening of... mhm, the Star Moon Awards..."

Pei Jinxi gave her a challenging raise of his eyebrows.

Mu Qianli’s heart almost leapt out of her chest.

This guy wasn’t about to spill everything with just a couple of questions, was he?

"Ah yes, it was at the Star Moon Awards after watching his performance that I really got to know him. Overflowing with talent, incredibly capable, extremely dedicated, and alluring..."

Mu Qianli blurted out all this, trying to mask her nervousness.

Pei Jinxi watched her with amusement.

The director quickly sensed something was off and seized the moment to probe further.

"Is that so? Jinxi, I feel like she’s hinting at something."

Mu Qianli swiftly shot Pei Jinxi a threatening look.

"Mhm. Everything she said is right." He touched his nose.
