HEIFEIGU -Chapter 128

For the Yuekong group, Yin Lening first went to the flying club for the first date, while Yu Yueting went to her old home.

Xixi had already checked everywhere and didn’t find the “Heartbeat Light.”

The two of them arrived at the photo studio for the short drama almost at the same time.

Both of them, slightly out of breath from running, bumped into each other opposite the “Heartbeat Light.”

Yu Yueting, with poor stamina, put her hands on her knees to catch her breath.

Yin Lening waited for her on the other side.

“Press together?” they said at the same time as Yu Yueting straightened up.

Their palms overlapped, and they could feel each other’s slightly sweaty hands.

“Guest Yu Yueting pressed the ‘Heartbeat Light,’ confessing to guest Yin Lening.”

“Guest Yin Lening pressed the ‘Heartbeat Light,’ confessing to guest Yu Yueting.”

Looking into each other’s smiling eyes, Yu Yueting couldn’t help but say, “Thank you…”

But this time she was interrupted by Yin Lening.

“No, it’s me who should thank you.”

Yin Lening held Yu Yueting’s hand. “Thank you for having the courage to come out then, so I could meet you.

Thank you for not retreating when faced with attacks and staying on the show, so I could continue to be with you.

Thank you for being willing to admit your orientation despite the risks, so I could continue pursuing you.”

Yin Lening took a couple of gentle breaths, tidied the stray strands of hair from Yu Yueting’s forehead, and slowed her pace.

“Life won’t be as romantic as here. In the future, we’ll face all kinds of trivial matters, the daily grind of living together. There might be disagreements, even fights.

“But I hope that when that time comes, we can look back on these days as a once-in-a-million chance that allowed us to meet.”

“Yu Yueting, for every day in the future, please take care of me.”

Yu Yueting’s tears welled up instantly. She raised her hand to cover her eyes. “Ugh, we agreed I wouldn’t cry today, that I’d make a beautiful confession… and you still made me cry.”

Sniffling and trying to control her tears, Yu Yueting spoke with a nasal voice, “Yin Lening, for every day in the future, please take care of me.”

Yin Lening’s eyes also shimmered with tears, but she held them back.

Knowing her girlfriend’s tendency to cry easily, she had brought tissues inside her coat and gently wiped Yu Yueting’s tears while pulling her into her arms.

After placing a light kiss on her forehead, Yin Lening lifted her up and bounced her twice. “Do you still want to cry?”

Yu Yueting panicked and hugged her neck. “Am I heavy?”

“Yes.”

Yu Yueting’s eyes widened immediately. “Already in my arms, and you’re complaining?”

“I’m holding my whole world,” Yin Lening said seriously, though it was hard to tell if she was joking or being abstract. “Could it not be heavy?”

“Who are you? Why are you so cheesy?” Yu Yueting covered her mouth. “Get out of my Yin Lening body!”

They both laughed. “Let’s go!”

【Where did Lening learn those cheesy pick-up lines?】

【Really cheesy, but also cute.】

【(Little cat holding cheek and smiling)】

【No wonder they won first place in our inaugural “Heartbeat Biological Clock” CP Short Drama Contest — this kind of cheesiness is perfect.】

Other CPs had already confessed, held hands, or returned to the villa to watch the live broadcast.

But the Xingyun pair was still searching for the light.

This game was truly unfriendly for Qian Shuyun and Xie Jixing.

The deserted land and amusement park — every date location was several times bigger than others.

Not to mention, these three places and the villa used for filming the show were in the four corners of C City — northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest — each a diagonal from the others.

Just the time spent on the road was much longer than for the other teams.

Qian Shuyun first went to his uncle’s suit shop, small and quickly searched through.

Nothing.

Without pause, he went to the film base.

The Republic-era themed area outside Yin Wenshan’s set was completed externally but still under internal renovation.

Yue Qinyao’s Late Qing-themed area was still under external construction.

The deserted land had become a construction site, making it even harder.

Since the show crew didn’t notify them in advance, the construction hadn’t stopped. There were machines, workers coming and going, and inevitable dust.

Qian Shuyun, dressed impeccably, stood at the edge of the construction site, looking completely out of place.

He startled the site manager.

“Why is Mr. Qian suddenly dressed so sharply, inspecting alone with a camera?”

Safety protocols had to be followed.

The safety yellow helmet was on.

Great, his carefully styled hair was flattened.

Qian Shuyun, wearing a custom suit, took several deep breaths before striding into the dust.

Meanwhile, Xie Jixing had just entered the amusement park.

The park hadn’t arranged crowd control in advance, which shocked Xie Jixing a little.

Even though he left the villa early, by the time he arrived, he was at the end of the serpentine queue.

Those who frequent popular amusement parks know: fall behind by a little, and you fall behind everywhere.

Inside, the scene was even more intense; every ride had a serpentine queue.

Xie Jixing was wearing a peacock blue suit with a black wool coat — very distinguished.

After all, it was confession day; appearance was key, so he hadn’t even worn thermal pants.

Looking like he was attending a high-end cocktail party while carrying a camera made him very conspicuous. People occasionally turned back to look at him.

Some even boldly came over to chat and take photos, slowing his progress.

Following his memory, Xie Jixing first queued for the roller coaster.

One ride took 40 minutes.

The park was riverside, a few degrees cooler than the city, and today the wind was strong, leaving Xie Jixing’s nose and ears red.

For the sake of appearance, he wore too little, slightly regretting not wearing thermals.

Fortunately, stuck in the crowd and unable to move, he wasn’t freezing enough to catch a cold.

Still, standing the whole morning left him stiff.

Others were in pairs or small groups, but he was alone, with no phone to play with, shivering slightly. He looked very pitiful.

【Socially anxious and panicked — if I were Xixing, I’d have given up.】

【Being alone in an amusement park is truly hell-level scary.】

【The film emperor over there hasn’t made any progress either, still struggling.】

【The little couple is super miserable; others already have snacks while watching their first sweet moments.】

At noon, while other visitors ate, Xie Jixing quickly finished searching the wand experience zone.

He hadn’t worn leather shoes before. These new shoes looked good but had thin, stiff soles.

Standing all morning and walking through almost half the park quickly left his feet seriously hurting.

The balls of his feet and little toes throbbed, and his pace slowed.

Luckily, he could endure the pain well. The audience wouldn’t notice, but Yin Wenshan and Yue Qinyao, following closely, immediately realized.

“This is torture!”

Sister Yue felt a little sorry; she had suffered enough from foot pain herself.

“Do you want to rest somewhere? Wenshan and I can continue the search.”

Xie Jixing rested in place.

Using his golden finger to search would have been easier, but for some reason, he wanted to do it himself.

“I want to do this one myself.”

By the time the sun was about to set, Xie Jixing finally found the last attraction: the Ferris wheel.

It wasn’t night yet, so there weren’t many people riding it.

For once, there was no need to line up.

Looking at the ring of cabins on the Ferris wheel, Xie Jixing wrinkled his nose.

That day, they’d been so busy kissing—how had he not remembered what the outside of the cabin was painted like?

Then let’s switch from standing to sitting and go around, one loop at a time.

After settling into a cabin, Xie Jixing finally got his first real rest of the day.

To save time, he hadn’t eaten lunch. He’d only hurriedly bought a bottle of fruit juice and tucked it into the pocket of his coat.

The juice was a bit cold and not very tasty. He took small sips while massaging his sore, swollen calves.

【Without Boss Qian around, our little Xie looks like he’s living so miserably.】

【I noticed it ages ago—Xingxing has really low material desires. He doesn’t care much about food, clothes, or where he lives. If no one arranges things for him, he can make do with anything.】

【Back during his early streams, he lived in a basement, ate instant noodles or boxed meals from film crews. Even after doing two variety shows, he’s still renting. He even landed endorsements, but still doesn’t think to buy himself a few decent outfits or a couple of watches.】

【Perhaps he used to be afraid of being poor—so the money-lover said nothing, only kept saving.】

【However, the amount he donated to orphanages has increased, and a few of them even jointly donated a school to Nanxia Bay Island.】

【With the movie king around, he naturally prioritizes Xingxing’s needs—everything good is arranged for him—so now the kid looks kind of pitiful.】

【Damn! I want to see the little couple go to the amusement park together. Why hasn’t Boss Qian appeared yet?】

【I just came from the movie king’s livestream… quietly saying, he seems off today; it’s been a long time since we’ve seen him like this.】

Indeed, Qian Shuyun’s state wasn’t very good.

It wasn’t due to fatigue, nor the dirty environment.

It was the feeling of endlessly searching but never finding anything, of receiving no positive feedback—that left him uneasy.

They had already searched most of the construction site, checking every corner carefully, yet not a trace of the light was found.

It felt like falling back into that previous dark period—no matter how hard he tried, there seemed to be no hope; all he could do was leave it to fate.

This sense of uncontrollability made him increasingly restless.

As the sky darkened, Qian Shuyun’s expression grew more somber.

Xie Jixing was still waiting for him.

The thought of such a large park being searched by Xie Jixing alone brought Qian Shuyun’s mood down further, making him even a bit gloomy.

The accompanying staff thought perhaps something was wrong on the construction site, and cautiously followed behind:

“Boss Qian, shall we take a break? You’ve been looking all day, haven’t even had a sip of water.”

“No need,” Qian Shuyun’s tone was a bit cold. “It’ll be over soon.”

With that, he briskly walked to the next section.

The staff dared not urge him and silently followed.

Suddenly, Qian Shuyun stopped.

A voice came through the earpiece:

“Guest Xie Jixing, pressed the ‘Heart Lamp,’ confession target: Guest Qian Shuyun.”

“Guest Qian Shuyun, if you accept the confession, please go immediately to the confession spot. If not, please choose to give up.”

Perhaps feeling pity for both of them, the staff added:

“If you head to the confession spot now, you might catch tonight’s most beautiful fireworks.”

After this pause, the staff noticed that Qian Shuyun, who had been like a walking storm cloud, suddenly seemed to brighten.

His aura became relaxed and warm.

Was he suddenly satisfied with the work?

“Boss Qian, shall we continue?” the staff dared to ask again.

“No need,” Qian Shuyun strode toward the park exit. “Thanks for accompanying me today.”

“The project is progressing very well.” He even gave an encouraging smile.

On the path near the park gate, Qian Shuyun even started jogging.

Tall with long legs, anyone behind him had to run to keep up.

At the gate, the panting staff was handed a safety helmet.

Qian, stylish as ever, waved his hand with a radiant smile. “See you next time.”

Then he turned and got into the car. “Quick! Let’s go to the amusement park.”

【Before Xingxing pressed the lamp, Movie King’s brightness: 0. After Xingxing pressed the lamp, Movie King’s brightness: 100.】

【It really lit up in a flash.】

【Xingxing might be some kind of LED remote.】

【Confessing under fireworks… just thinking about it is romantic.】

【Boss Qian, go for it!】
