Feeling everyone's gaze, Fu Peiyao couldn't help but feel a little shy. She subconsciously covered her chest, hiding the deep blue light, and only then did everyone regain their senses.
"Does it look good?" Fu Peiyao asked Mu Li, a little shyly.
"It looks good, it looks too good." Mu Li no longer knew what adjectives to use to describe it, so he could only keep repeating the words "looks good."
Mu Qingqing, on the other hand, pouted, her face clearly showing four words—I am not happy.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?" Fu Peiyao couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph!" Mu Qingqing grunted, pointing at the ocean heart on Fu Peiyao's chest, her eyes filled with undisguised envy. "Why is yours a necklace, but mine is a microphone, and it's for Jigglypuff?"
Fu Peiyao couldn't help but laugh. Her beautiful eyes swept over Mu Li, and her tone of voice even held a hint of triumph: "Then you'll have to ask the person who gave the gift, and see why he gave you a microphone?"
Mu Li was stunned, then a look of disdain appeared on his face: "What does a little kid need a necklace for? Besides, isn't something for Jigglypuff also for you? You can also borrow it from Jigglypuff, right?"
"Oh, right." Mu Li seemed to remember something, and suddenly punched his palm. "Some people are tone-deaf."
Mu Qingqing immediately bristled: "Mu Li, I'm going to bite you to death!"
With that, she was about to pounce, but before she could act, Fu Peiyao stopped her.
In just this short time, the three of them had already become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Watch your image, we're still outside," Fu Peiyao chided, while also glaring at Mu Li, signaling him not to go too far.
Mu Li also nodded knowingly. While Fu Peiyao turned her head away, he made a face at Mu Qingqing, provoking her.
This made Mu Qingqing extremely angry, and she once again yelled that she would make Mu Li pay.
The end result was that after each of them received a flick on the forehead, they obediently sat on their chairs and drank coffee.
"You two, one is 22 and the other is 20, why do you always act like two little kids?" Fu Peiyao sighed helplessly. "It's one thing to bicker online, but you can't even be quiet when you meet in person."
The two looked at each other and simultaneously blamed the other: "He (She) started it."
"Hmph!" The two simultaneously grunted in disdain, then simultaneously widened their eyes, glaring at each other, and simultaneously shouted, "Don't copy what I say! Bah! Bah! Bah! Immature!"
Fu Peiyao couldn't help but put a hand to her forehead and sigh: "There's no saving them."
While the three of them were bickering, more and more people had gathered in the coffee shop, and many were already holding up their phones to film them.
"Let's leave here first, or we won't be able to get out," Fu Peiyao, clearly experienced, directly led the two back to the nanny van.
"Where are we going next?" Mu Li couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You're a boy, right? How can you let a girl arrange things when you're out having fun?" Mu Qingqing subconsciously retorted.
The scene from yesterday involuntarily popped into Mu Li's mind. He shook his head abruptly, thinking, what nonsense is this? If he dared to take Fu Peiyao and Mu Qingqing to get a foot bath today, he estimated that tomorrow netizens would show up at his door and turn him into a foot bath package.
"I'm not familiar with Demon Capital either," Mu Li thought for a long time before coming up with an excuse.
"Hmph," Mu Qingqing grumbled unhappily, "You say that as if you're very familiar with Yangcheng. Last time I asked you, you still knew nothing."
"Uh... that..." Mu Li said a little awkwardly, "From childhood to adulthood, I basically never went out much..."
Mu Qingqing hadn't expected Mu Li to give such an answer, but based on her understanding of Mu Li, this guy had basically stayed in the countryside except for going to school, and it seemed he really rarely went out.
However, after today's events, Mu Qingqing realized that she and Fu Peiyao didn't seem to understand Mu Li very well.
For example, they had always thought that Mu Li lived on a farm, his family was poor, and he made a living by selling flowers, but after seeing him today, it seemed that everything was not quite as they had imagined.
Not to mention the microphone custom-made with an Everstone, just the price of that ocean heart necklace wouldn't be cheap.
They all knew that Mystic Water was a mysterious item that could enhance the combat abilities of Water-type Pokémon. Although not expensive, it still cost hundreds of thousands to buy one.
The Mystic Water embedded in that ocean heart necklace, regardless of its color, purity, or feel, was of the highest quality. Such good stuff would cost at least a million, yet Mu Li just gave it to Fu Peiyao as a meeting gift.
But what surprised Mu Qingqing even more was that Fu Peiyao actually didn't refuse.
Although a million-dollar piece of jewelry was nothing to Fu Peiyao, it was a gift from a boy. The meaning behind it was completely different from something she bought herself.
Fu Peiyao had countless admirers, but Mu Qingqing had never seen her accept gifts from others, not even a bouquet of flowers. However, Mu Qingqing knew that every time she went to Fu Peiyao's house, it would be filled with fresh flowers, and the origin of those flowers was obvious—they must have been sent by Mu Li.
As soon as she thought of this, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but feel curious: "Pei Yao-jie, are all the flowers in your house from Master?"
Fu Peiyao nodded. There was nothing to hide about that.
"I'm just curious, Master, how do you know when the flowers at Pei Yao-jie's house need to be replaced?" Mu Qingqing asked curiously.
"That's very simple!" Mu Li said with a smile, "Every time I send flowers to Pei Pei, I pick one from the middle and put it in a vase at my own home. Whenever the flower at home is about to wilt, that means Pei Pei's flowers need to be replaced with new ones."
At that moment, Fu Peiyao's body stiffened. She felt a little breathless, and an emotion, she didn't know if it was move or something else, suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt like crying. She had thought that Mu Li just calculated the time and would send a batch of flowers to her house after a while, but she hadn't expected Mu Li to be so thoughtful.
From childhood to adulthood, even her parents had never cared for her like this.
Not only Fu Peiyao, but Mu Qingqing, who was beside her, was also on the verge of tears. The moment she heard this answer, goosebumps appeared all over her body.
The bullet comments in the live stream also started to Rollout wildly.
If a man treated me like this, I would have already given him a bunch of babies.
Oh my god! Mu Li is too good.
Learned! Learned!
Who understands! I, a mere bystander, was so touched by this sentence that I couldn't breathe.
I'm already crying. Don't say that boys don't understand what girls want. Ultimately, it's just a lack of effort.
My boyfriend, let alone being like A Li, if he just sent me a bouquet of flowers every month, we wouldn't have broken up.
These two are locked in for me.
Mu Guang Tong Yao CP, I'll ship it first!
...
What moves people in life is often not those earth-shattering big events, but rather the details interspersed in trivial small matters.
Just like at this moment, Fu Peiyao felt her heart melting, but the camera floating beside her brought her back to reality in time.
"No, Fu Peiyao, you must be calm, you are a Heavenly Queen!" Fu Peiyao kept hinting to herself in her heart, but for some reason, the more she did so, the faster her heart beat.
While Fu Peiyao and Mu Qingqing were still touched, Mu Li seemed a bit clueless: "By the way, where are we going? We're not going for a foot bath, are we?"
A cold joke directly broke the originally romantic atmosphere.
"Hmph, do you think you're very humorous?" Mu Qingqing couldn't help but retort.
Fu Peiyao had also recovered by now: "You've been in Demon Capital for a while now, haven't you had a good look at the night view of Demon Capital?"
"The night view of Demon Capital?" Come to think of it, he really hadn't admired it properly.
As night fell, on the river, Mu Li and the two women enjoyed a meal on a cruise ship while admiring the night view of Demon Capital.
"It's so cool!" Mu Li seemed to have never eaten on a boat before, let alone leisurely cruised at night like this. "This feeling is really nice."
"Is this your first time on a boat?" Mu Qingqing asked curiously.
Mu Li nodded, then shook his head: "Not completely never been on one. When I graduated from high school, I went to the beach with my parents, but we didn't take a boat that time, we rode Lapras."
Lapras, a very rare sea Pokémon, often appears in groups. Due to human pollution of the ocean and the capture of Lapras, their numbers have become increasingly scarce, and in recent years, they have rarely appeared in human sight.
Mu Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise: "Are you talking about Lapras? Is it the kind of Lapras I know?"
"Otherwise? Is there another Lapras?" Mu Li looked as if he had seen an idiot.
"Your family also has Lapras?" Fu Peiyao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"My mom has a Lapras," Mu Li said with a smile. "I went out to sea on my mom's Lapras back then, and almost got lost."
"That's hilarious, getting lost even when riding Lapras, that's so like you," Mu Qingqing couldn't help but mock.
What Mu Qingqing didn't know was that Mu Li only told the first and last parts of the story, and the middle part was directly edited out by him.
"How about we go out to sea together sometime?" Mu Li suddenly suggested.
"Why are you thinking of going out to sea?" Fu Peiyao and Mu Qingqing clearly hadn't caught up with Mu Li's train of thought.
"Hmm, I just miss it a bit. Next time we record "I Live Alone", let's go out to sea together, okay?" Mu Li's gaze turned to Fu Peiyao.
"Alright, I haven't seen the sea in a long time anyway." Fu Peiyao smiled and stretched. "Just the three of us?"
Mu Li hesitated for a moment: "I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any friends you want to invite?"
"Not necessarily, the time for entertainers isn't fixed," Fu Peiyao hesitated, "I'll try to invite them first."
"Okay!" Mu Li replied with a smile. He looked at Fu Peiyao's exquisite profile, and for a moment, he felt a bit hazy, as if the entire night had become even more beautiful. "This night is too beautiful."
The three of them enjoyed the night breeze and watched the tourists walking along the river until late into the night.
At this point, the first recording of the "I Live Alone" program officially ended.
It was late at night. Mu Li, Fu Peiyao, and Mu Qingqing stood at Mu Li's doorstep, watching the staff of the "I Live Alone" production team busily dismantling the cameras in his home.
"So, your home is here?" Fu Peiyao looked at Mu Li's house with some surprise.
Mu Li couldn't help but laugh: "Who would have thought your home is here too?"
"Wait..." Mu Li suddenly remembered something. "That person who took Milotic for a walk in the morning wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"
Fu Peiyao's eyes widened, and she subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"
"This is too much of a coincidence," Mu Li couldn't help but bend over laughing. "Haven't you noticed someone walking their Arcanine recently?"
Fu Peiyao was completely stunned.
What kind of fate is this?
