MAPF Chapter 43

Chapter 43: The Livestream Exploded

The livestream exploded.

He Qin and Xie Shiwei were turned sideways facing the camera, one looking up and the other looking down, so close that every move they made seemed like their breaths were intertwined.

The two of them were in a very suggestive pose, and both were pleasing to the eye, so the viewers watching the excitement started spamming “Kiss! Kiss!”

The host had to joke to maintain order, “You two, please stop showing off your affection! Kissing is not allowed in our livestream today! Hurry up and show everyone what you look like with the glasses on.”

He Qin suppressed the ripples in his heart and steadied himself. He pressed his wrist down and snapped the glasses securely onto Xie Shiwei’s head, neatly cutting off the thoughts of romance.

The livestream exploded again.

The metallic silver-gray glasses fit Xie Shiwei’s head perfectly, as if they were custom-made for him, revealing his delicate and graceful brow bone and three-dimensional lower face.

Xie Shiwei was wearing a light gray, smooth shirt with black dress pants, the shirt tucked into the waistband, highlighting his figure. With the glasses on, he looked refined and handsome, like a bionic man from a movie.

Viewers spammed the screen with gifts, begging Little Xie to wear them for a little longer.

[Damn, Xie Shiwei is so handsome! Screenshot, screenshot, screenshot!]

[These glasses look so good! I want to buy them too and wear them out on the street!]

[Little Xie, you’re so handsome, you should debut as a model!]

But Xie Shiwei wasn’t in the mood to listen to compliments.

He was flustered, so flustered that his ears turned completely red.

He didn’t know what got into him, but he actually closed his eyes just now! Why did he close his eyes? Why did he close his eyes just to put on glasses?

And the host was really something, saying such embarrassing lines! It seemed that he was really thirsty lately; he would find a handsome guy to hang out with in a few days!

Xie Shiwei was about to shatter. He stiffly tugged at He Qin and said in a very weak voice, “I didn’t mean that, don’t misunderstand.”

He Qin hummed and looked at Xie Shiwei’s burning ears, smiling without saying anything.

.

The charity event ended successfully with the help of Xie Shiwei and He Qin.

The livestream once rushed to the top of the local popularity chart. Screenshots of Xie Shiwei and He Qin’s livestream were spread everywhere, and local media reports followed up in sync.

[Unprecedented New Type of Donation: Xie Shi Group and He Xin Technology Join Hands to Send High-Tech Products to Mountain Welfare Homes, Giving Children the Wings of Dreams!]

[Xie Family’s Young Master Personally Tries on Her Husband’s Company’s Glasses, So Handsome!]

[He Xin Technology’s Miniature VR’s First Batch of Testers are the Lovely Children of the Welfare Home!]

[Xie Shiwei and He Qin’s Married Life is Too Harmonious, Actually Flirting in Public and Making People Blush!]

The popularity of He Xin’s miniature VR instantly opened up. Xie Shiwei himself, as well as the relationship between Xie Shiwei and He Qin, also sparked discussions on the forum.

Originally, Xie Shiwei was notorious, and even people outside the circle of the wealthy knew about the bad things he had done. There was a post on the forum called “The Ten Deadly Sins of the Xie Family’s Devil King,” which talked about the ten most disgusting things he had done, described in vivid detail, and everyone who had read it believed it.

But recently, the news about Xie Shiwei was too positive, which made them extremely suspicious of the truth of those rumors.

The Xie family’s young master first amazed everyone at the branch’s press conference, and then selflessly and fearlessly saved people in times of crisis. Now, he is actively participating in charity projects, spreading charm and love.

Ordinary people find it difficult to associate this good-looking, child-loving, and responsible young master with the prodigal son who is rumored to be unscrupulous and vicious.

It’s even harder to believe that He Qin and Xie Shiwei, who princess-carried each other in front of the media, closely cooperated to save people, and are now showing off their affection and publicly asking for kisses, once had rumors of discord.

Just when everyone was convinced that He Qin and Xie Shiwei were a model of love after marriage and that they were soulmates, an anonymous speaker suddenly jumped out on the local forum.

This person claimed to be a wedding planner for the top wealthy circles, who had eaten melon seeds on the front line, and confirmed that Xie Shiwei used He Xin Technology’s future to force He Qin to marry him, and that He Qin was only acting for the sake of the company to put on a show for the media.

The truth is that He Qin doesn’t love Xie Shiwei at all. The person in his heart has always been Bai An, the emerging painter who grew up with him as childhood sweethearts.

The melon-eating masses went to search for Bai An’s name, but only saw a few of his paintings on a few foreign web pages, and they all booed the anonymous person for talking nonsense.

Someone replied: “You are Bai An, right? Just say you have a crush on He Qin, why make up such a cliché, tragic love story, boring.”

A group of people posted +1.

.

Bai An received a WeChat call from A while painting on the other side of the ocean.

“Bai An, aren’t you planning to take action to expose your relationship with He Qin, to tell the world that you are He Qin’s childhood sweetheart, the destined person, and that Xie Shiwei is just a third party who interferes with you? Public opinion is already developing in a direction unfavorable to you, what are you hesitating about?”

A barrage of accusations.

This was the first time Bai An had heard A’s voice. It sounded cold and a little gloomy. The unexpected questioning made it difficult for him to resist.

Bai An stammered, “I…I think maybe I don’t need to do this anymore, Little Qin will divorce anyway, I can wait until after his divorce and then…”

A scoffed, “Can’t be? You also think Xie Shiwei has changed, and you plan to forgive him? He used to humiliate you, trample on you, and arbitrarily decide your fate, sending you abroad like garbage, are all those things gone with the wind?”

Bai An tightly gripped the oil painting brush in his hand, and the paint blurred into a dark color on the paper.

“He Xin Technology will be listed next month, and there will be an unveiling ceremony. I’ve taken care of it for you. You only need to be there and tell the truth, and Xie Shiwei will naturally be ruined.”

“This is your last chance to achieve your goal. If you miss it, don’t ask me to help you again.”

After a series of clear clanging sounds, A hung up the phone.

Bai An turned off his phone, lay on the sofa, and slowly exhaled.

This apartment was rented for him by He Qin four years ago when he came to the United States. It was very close to the school, and there was a supermarket downstairs, so life and transportation were very convenient.

Of course, such a house was expensive to rent, and He Qin rented it for four years.

Many international students envied him for having such a good brother, who was handsome, rich, and cared about him very much, and they were so jealous that they were drooling.

But he was tired of hearing these words. Every time, he silently said in his heart that he didn’t want He Qin to always be just his brother.

Bai An looked at the photo wall behind the drawing board.

He Qin’s solo photos and their group photos were densely pasted all over a wooden board, and he wanted to make these photos more, so many that a small wooden board couldn’t fit them all.

That’s right, A was right.

He had to seize the opportunity.

He wanted to be Little Qin’s lover.

In his twenty-two years of life, the only eternal and persistent goal was to obtain He Qin’s only, exclusive love.

And this had nothing to do with whether Xie Shiwei had become better or treated him kindly.

Even if Xie Shiwei had really turned over a new leaf now, he would have to pay the price for the wrong things he had done before.

.

After the charity project ended, He Xin and Xie Shi Group gathered together again for a meeting to review the highlights and results of the event.

According to the measurement of He Xin’s big data system, the publicity effect and scale of sound volume completely reached the expected level. Even because of the cooperation between He Qin and Xie Shiwei, the project was completed ahead of schedule. Now, the pre-sale reservation volume of He Xin’s miniature VR equipment has broken one million, and the social media accounts of various platforms have significantly increased fans.

The person in charge of the foundation reported that all the welfare homes involved had received social attention and had received batches of donations and donations.

From any point of view, this was a very successful promotion.

Xie Shiwei was very satisfied and summarized the results and sent them to Xie Tian’an.

He wanted to ask Xie Tian’an for praise.

Since he changed, Xie Tian’an’s attitude towards him has also been changing day by day, from the stiff and stern attitude on the wedding day to the gentle encouragement now. This man in his late sixties slowly made him experience the feeling of having a father, as well as the peace of mind of having a father behind him.

He wanted to repay this fatherly love, to let Xie Tian’an see his efforts, to reassure him and make him proud. Even if he was a cuckoo occupying the nest.

.

Xie Tian’an was really happy and asked Xie Shiwei to bring He Qin home for dinner.

Arriving at the mansion, Xie Shiwei sneakily pulled He Qin to a deserted place in the garden, “Do you remember what I said to my dad last time?”

He Qin said, “In order to make me fall in love with you, I will work hard and strive to be strong.”

Xie Shiwei covered his lips and coughed, “If my dad asks you what you think of me this time, remember to say something nice.”

“Don’t worry.”

As soon as they entered the house, Chen Ning enthusiastically greeted them with concern and stuffed a lot of cards into Xie Shiwei’s hands, “Shiwei, these were all given by my friends, who said they wanted you to help them get some popularity.”

Xie Shiwei looked at them one by one: bath centers, entertainment clubs, beach camping, yacht trips, golf courses, all kinds of high-end entertainment activities.

That’s great. Still thinking of making him indulge in pleasure and lose his ambition.

Xie Shiwei said in an exaggerated tone that Aunt Chen was really good to him, and he would definitely visit them one by one when he had the opportunity.

Xie Tian’an spoke, “Ningning, you can’t sell favors to everyone. Shiwei doesn’t have time to do these things now. Next month, he will be rotated to the sales department, and it’s your turn to take him.”

Chen Ning immediately lost her smile, and her white and slender fingers creaked as she pinched them.

Dinner had a rich appetizer, which Xie Tian’an said was all Xie Shiwei’s favorite food. He didn’t prepare it for him last time, and this time he planned to give him a surprise.

Xie Shiwei had been looking forward to it all the way, thinking that the young master Xie’s favorite things must be delicacies.

But now what’s in front of him…

Fried silkworm chrysalis, fried bee pupae, fried bean worms, fried grasshoppers, and many other insects he couldn’t recognize.

Green, golden, and black.

Suddenly, he felt like throwing up.

He Qin also fell silent. Looking at Xie Shiwei’s face, he knew that he didn’t like to eat it.

Xie Tian’an didn’t notice and boldly picked up a silkworm chrysalis as big as his thumb and stuffed it into his mouth, a satisfied look appearing on his face, “Shiwei, I used to say that you were being stupid when you ate this thing, it was Dad who was wrong. I shouldn’t have looked at you with colored glasses. After tasting it, it tastes really good! Come on, Dad will eat with you today!”

Chen Ning endured her nausea and picked up a huge bean worm and put it into Xie Shiwei’s plate, “Shiwei, you eat. You work hard now, and you can eat as many bugs as you want in the future to supplement protein. Auntie will never stop you again.”

The enthusiasm of the two made it difficult for Xie Shiwei to refuse.

He clamped the bug with difficulty and sent it to his mouth with a pale face.

However, He Qin blocked his chopsticks, “Uncle and Aunt, Shiwei doesn’t like to eat these things now.”
