Forced Cohabitation After a Hit Romance Variety Show with My Rival Actress - Chapter 15

Ruan Feiyu is willing to let her ex-girlfriend and the girl she’s been flirting with ride the tandem glider together just to avoid extreme sports!

Isn’t she worried they’ll hold hands and leave her behind?

The comments are on fire! How did you all guess so accurately? But this three-way love triangle is definitely real.

The scene of Ruan Feiyu swapping activities had sent the live chat into a frenzy.

Viewers flooded the comments with wild speculations, and related trending topics surged on Weibo.

Ultimately, Ruan Feiyu had chickened out herself, so she had no one to blame but herself.

As she gazed up at the azure coastline, she could only watch Gu Yuan and Chi Yu’s figures grow smaller in the distance.

Helpless, Ruan Feiyu tightened her jacket, sat on the small stool provided by the production crew, and arranged the sisters’ bags, water bottles, and personal items in front of her.

Her desolate figure was captured by a separate camera, broadcasting her solitude in quiet detail.

Ah… watching the bags alone is so boring and pathetic.

The live broadcast was split into three streams. The other two streams are already overflowing with viewers, leaving Ruan Feiyu’s stream as the only “pure land.”

I wonder if Feifei will regret this. Wouldn’t it have been more fun to play with her sisters? Why is she so afraid of getting tanned or sunburned?

Sigh, I just came to take a peek. The other two streams are way more interesting. Gu Yuan and Chi Yu are hugging, and their compatibility is off the charts!

I’m out of here. Nothing to see here. Time to check out the other streams.

Ruan Feiyu’s live stream had a sluggish chat, with new comments appearing only every few minutes.

Eventually, viewers couldn’t bear the monotony any longer and scattered, leaving the stream even more desolate.

In the two streams with frenzied chat activity, the hottest topic was surprisingly Chi Yu and Gu Yuan’s stream.

All because the two of them had started fighting in the water… right in front of the live cameras.

Lu Wenrui, Li Tianyin, and Lin Yihan’s group should have been the most popular, given their star power.

With three against two, their odds of winning seemed overwhelmingly in their favor.

Yet as the trio stood on the beach beside the jet ski, Lu Wenrui was the first to crack.

“Aaaah, I’m so nervous! Why does this jet ski look so wobbly in the water?”

“……”

The other two exchanged exasperated glances.

Finally, Li Tianyin waded toward the jet ski.

“What do you expect? It’s supposed to wobble in the water.”

Lu Wenrui pouted, her lips pressed into a pout. “Tianyin Eonni, you never used to talk to me so coldly.”

Li Tianyin pinched the bridge of her nose. “I’m not being cold. I just speak like this.”

She felt Lu Wenrui was being unusually clingy. During their previous variety show together, Lu Wenrui hadn’t been this clingy. Perhaps she had more familiar faces around during the lifestyle-themed show.

Lu Wenrui pouted again. “Then can I ask where the least bumpy seat is?”

The live chat seemed to have noticed something, erupting into heated discussion:

Oh-ho, is Lu Wenrui shooting her shot at Li Tianyin?

Look at Lu Wenrui, clinging to Li Tianyin the whole time. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were dating!

No way, there’s no history between them. They filmed a lifestyle variety show together before, cooking and gardening and stuff, but they didn’t interact much. I don’t know why they’re acting like this on the dating show. Maybe Lu Wenrui really has a thing for Li Tianyin?

The subjects of this heated discussion remained oblivious.

Lu Wenrui continued to whine, tugging at Li Tianyin’s sleeve and complaining about getting splashed, disliking jet skis, and begging her “sister” to protect her.

She repeated in a childishly sweet voice, “Where can I sit to avoid getting hit by the waves? Tianyin Eonni, don’t be so cold!”

Lin Yihan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up coldly.

“Then sit at the back and keep your mouth shut to avoid swallowing water.”

Her voice was truly icy.

Arms crossed, her long eyebrows arched sharply.

She seemed to be suppressing intense dissatisfaction.

That’s the CEO for you—always commanding. She’s probably just annoyed by Lu Wenrui.

I actually find Lu Wenrui kind of cute, but it’s clear she’s really dependent on Li Tianyin!

Li Tianyin lives up to her reputation as the band queen. I thought she’d be rocking smoky eye makeup while doing water sports, but even without makeup, she’s still cool and gorgeous.

If Lu Wenrui likes Li Tianyin, doesn’t President Lin also like her? But isn’t President Lin supposed to be the top? This… the rock goddess doesn’t exactly look like a bottom either…

Upstairs, what do you know? When two tops meet, one must become the bottom.

Ooh, now I have to ship them!

Lu Wenrui seemed a little afraid of Lin Yihan, shrinking slightly behind Li Tianyin.

Lin Yihan simply crossed his arms, tilted his chin slightly, and put on his sunglasses. “I’ll sit in the middle.”

“……”

The three-person jet ski rode low in the water, bobbing and lurching forward.

Each wave sent the jet ski briefly airborne before it crashed back down.

All three were drenched to the bone. Suddenly, Lu Wenrui let out a startled cry, sending a flock of seagulls screeching into the air.

The live chat was dying of laughter:  They really can’t handle this!

A three-person jet ski is definitely too crowded.

Look how hard Li Tianyin is working to drive, but it’s just not happening. And Lu Wenrui is so noisy, hahaha!

Just as the live chat and the on-site crew were enjoying the chaos, they suddenly saw Li Tianyin twist the throttle with fierce determination on the monitor.

“This is so frustrating! I’m going to speed up. Hold on tight!”

Lu Wenrui, sitting at the back on the highest seat, clung tightly to her orange life jacket and shouted frantically, “Don’t go so fast! No, no, no! I’m scared!”

Lin Yihan pushed his sunglasses up his nose. “Charge!”

Li Tianyin’s lips curled into a smirk as she twisted the throttle with all her might. The engine roared to life, and with a thunderous roar and a thick plume of water jetting from the stern, the red jet ski shot forward, slicing through the waves with a whoosh.

Li Tianyin steered the jet ski wildly across the sea, weaving through the waves at breakneck speed.

“Honestly, going fast feels amazing!” she exclaimed, shaking her water-soaked hair. “I don’t know why it wouldn’t move earlier, but now it’s flying!”

Lin Yihan quietly wrapped his arm around Li Tianyin’s waist, a knowing smile playing on his lips. “Hmm, there might be a reason for that.”

Their voices carried through the live stream, sending the chat into a frenzy of laughter.

Of course there’s a reason! Don’t you feel like the jet ski suddenly got a lot lighter?

Maybe you should look back? Lu Wenrui flew off when you accelerated!

Yeah, a movie for three suddenly became an exclusive broadcast for two. Of course it’s going to be a hit!

I recorded it! It’s hilarious! Slow-motion replay makes it even funnier. Lu Wenrui did a full 360-degree spin and landed upside down in the water, flailing her limbs.

My mom came over asking if I was watching someone kill a screaming chicken. I was laughing so hard I was rolling around on the floor.

Stop laughing and go check out Gu Yuan and Chi Yu’s storyline! They’re fighting in the water!

What?! Fighting? Is it that dramatic?

Hahaha, I’m heading over there to laugh now.

The waterborne tandem flying vehicle project involving Gu Yuan and Chi Yu hadn’t initially garnered much attention. Moreover, Chi Yu felt a slight awkwardness walking beside Gu Yuan.

After over four years of separation, their sudden reunion on a dating reality show felt surreal.

And Gu Yuan… still smelled so intoxicatingly fragrant…

Lost in thought, Chi Yu suddenly heard Gu Yuan call her name. “Xiao Chi?”

Chi Yu snapped back to attention. “Hmm?”

Gu Yuan’s slightly narrowed eyes glanced sideways at her.

Chi Yu crossed her arms, tilted her chin slightly upward, and her swan-like neck stretched into a graceful curve, revealing the delicate lines of her collarbone.

“The water sports instructor is here to explain the key techniques,” Gu Yuan said.

“Oh,” Chi Yu nodded, then hesitated. “Um… Sis, are you sure you want to wear a white dress for this activity?”

Chi Yu was wearing a two-piece swimsuit.

Her figure was truly stunning. Over the swimsuit, she wore a lightweight, loose-fitting sun-protective shirt that draped casually over her snow-white shoulders.

This outfit looked great on camera and wouldn’t be awkward in the water.

But honestly, she was a little worried about Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was wearing a long, snow-white dress made of a lightweight, flowing fabric. It was hard to tell if she was wearing a swimsuit underneath.

But this dress would definitely become see-through if it got wet.

The two had already reached the instructor. At that moment, Gu Yuan finally glanced at her with a faint smile.

“Thank you for your concern,” she said.

Then she turned back to the instructor, smiling politely. “Please.”

The instructor, likely having never seen such a stunning actress with such distinctly Eastern charm—and who was also so polite and approachable—felt his sun-darkened face flush visibly, the redness showing clearly through his tan.

“No problem at all,” he stammered.

The instructor diligently explained how to use the equipment. Learning that neither of them was a beginner, he grew more confident. “Go for it! You’ll fly beautifully.”

The equipment had been fully calibrated. Chi Yu glanced around, making sure no one was watching, before wrapping her arm around Gu Yuan’s waist and pulling her into the shadows of the equipment room corner.

She pinned Gu Yuan against the wall, her hand gently caressing her waist.

The warm, familiar scent filled her nostrils, making her heart flutter.

Chi Yu narrowed her eyes and repeated, “Sister, are you sure you want to wear this underwater flight suit?”

Gu Yuan’s eyes widened slightly at first, then she tilted her chin up to gaze at Chi Yu’s pale face, now inches away.

Her crimson lips parted slightly as she spoke in a calm, measured tone, “Little Chi, are you worried about me?”

The audio equipment picked up no anomalies in their voices.

But the two women had vanished from the surveillance monitors.

In that hidden corner, their thin clothes transmitted the rising heat of their bodies.

They stood locked in an embrace, one pressed against the wall by the other.
