The Film Queen’s Live-In Son-in-Law is the King of the Women's Kingdom (GL) - Chapter 22

“Hey, why are you back, Ms. Shen?” It was Le Qi, one of the younger contestants. She and Lu Jun were very energetic and seemed to have the role of “making things lively.”

Shen Ji was a bit confused by being called “Ms. Shen” but just nodded. Her attitude towards everyone but her wife was polite but not overly friendly.

“I came back with the luggage.”

Lu Jun was eager to help. “Is that it? I’ll help you.”

Shen Ji shook her head. “No, thanks.” She was in a hurry to get back to Yu Chiyin, who might get upset if she was gone for too long while sleeping.

This wasn’t an exaggeration. There were a few times before when Shen Ji had gone out while Yu Chiyin was asleep, only to return to a furious wife who wanted to know what could possibly be more important than being with her.

She realized Yu Chiyin was quite bossy; it seemed nothing in the world was more important than sleeping with her. She also discovered that Yu Chiyin had trouble falling asleep.

Xue Xianyue and Xie Jiayin walked over. Since their houses were close, they decided to walk together. Soon, a whole group was walking back with Shen Ji. Shen Ji asked Le Qi, 

“Where are Sister Mu and her husband?”

Le Qi explained, “Oh, they went back to their house already. We and Sister Jiayin’s group arrived together and played a little game to decide who got which house.”

“Okay,” Shen Ji said, not wanting to talk much.

But the other contestants knew how popular Shen Ji and Yu Chiyin were. Since Yu Chiyin wasn’t there, they talked to Shen Ji to get some screen time on her livestream.

Xue Xianyue and Xie Jiayin, however, were quiet. They were so quiet that their livestream was the most boring, and viewers had nicknamed them the “Mute Couple.” They rarely spoke from the start of the show.

After passing House #1, they reached House #2. Shen Ji stood at the door and said goodbye. “I’m here. See you all later.”

Le Qi and Lu Jun peeked inside, disappointed they couldn’t see anything. They quickly smiled and waved. 

“Bye, Ms. Shen!” Xue Xianyue gave a cool nod, and Xie Jiayin said politely, 

“Goodbye.”

As soon as Shen Ji got inside and put the suitcases down, someone jumped on her and hugged her tightly, complaining, “Where did you go?”

Shen Ji patted Yu Chiyin’s back, her expression softening. 

“I went to get our luggage. Since you’re awake, why don’t you wash up and go back to sleep?”

“Mm, don’t want to move,” Yu Chiyin mumbled, clinging to Shen Ji like a sloth. She was still sleepy and forgot they were on a reality show.

Shen Ji had no choice. She carefully held Yu Chiyin with one arm and opened a suitcase with the other, awkwardly trying to pack.

Viewers watched them, speechless. They were used to seeing the couple act like “conjoined twins,” but this was ridiculous. Neither of them looked comfortable, yet they couldn’t be separated.

They couldn’t believe it: a famous player had become a doting wife, and a famous actress was clinging to her like a baby.

Shen Ji, a human-sized pillow, patiently packed and comforted her wife. It was truly moving.

With Yu Chiyin clinging to her, Shen Ji only managed to find their pajamas and toiletries. She carried Yu Chiyin into the master bathroom.

The bathroom had a bathtub, but Shen Ji wasn’t sure if it was clean. She set out the clothes and toiletries for Yu Chiyin, then turned to hold her face and gave her a loving rub.

“Wife?” she whispered, unsure if she really wanted to wake her.

“Hmm?” Yu Chiyin thought she could go back to sleep. 

“Are you done packing?”

Shen Ji chuckled. Yu Chiyin was so tired she couldn’t even open her eyes. 

“Yes, wash up, and you can go back to sleep.”

“Okay,” Yu Chiyin said in a soft voice. “What about you?”

“I’ll use the other bathroom. I’ll be quick.”

Reassured, Yu Chiyin let go of her. She opened her eyes, and because they were about the same height, she could easily lean in and kiss Shen Ji’s cheek before pulling away.

“Thanks, wife,” Yu Chiyin smiled, a little smug. Only Shen Ji knew why.

Shen Ji left the bathroom, and the camera following Yu Chiyin left with her. The two cameras met in the living room, filming the empty space.

Since both of them were showering, the cameras couldn’t follow them.

This should have made the show’s popularity drop, but viewers kept watching and chatting, even with an empty living room on screen.

Before the show started, the directors were worried about the new, rule-free format. They were counting on this new couple’s popularity to make the show a hit.

Now they realized that no matter what Yu Chiyin did, people would watch just because it was her.

Shen Ji soon appeared again, wearing conservative, long-sleeved pajamas for the camera. Viewers complained that she was being too formal.

She didn’t know they were watching. She took a bottle of honey from the other suitcase, boiled some water, and made a cup of honey water. She returned to the bedroom with the cup.

Viewers in the comments joked that she was about to do something dirty on camera. But they were wrong. Yu Chiyin came out, took a sip of the warm honey water, and said, “Mm, I was so thirsty.”

Yu Chiyin didn’t drink much, afraid her face would get puffy for the camera. She gave the rest to Shen Ji, who drank it all without hesitation. After washing the cup and putting it away, she came back to find Yu Chiyin tucked in bed.

Shen Ji dimmed the lights. Yu Chiyin was afraid of the dark, so she never turned them off completely. When Shen Ji got in bed, Yu Chiyin immediately rolled into her arms and found a comfortable spot to cuddle.

“Thanks for your hard work today, my love.”

“It’s not hard,” Shen Ji replied. This is nothing, she thought.

“Mm, I feel hot. Should we turn down the air conditioner?”

Under the covers, Yu Chiyin’s hands were getting a little naughty. She was used to touching Shen Ji’s abs to fall asleep. The rustling wasn’t obvious.

The cameras were in the room but not pointing at their faces. Two round, winged drones were facing the curtains. Viewers were losing their minds, wanting to jump through the screen to see what was happening.

They turned up the volume to listen to the two wives whispering to each other.

The air conditioner was at Yu Chiyin’s usual temperature, 26°C, but since they were both in long-sleeved pajamas, she felt a bit warm.

Shen Ji lowered the temperature and whispered, “Maybe you should change your pajamas? You can change back in the morning.” She suggested this after checking that the cameras were facing the curtains.

“I don’t want to move,” Yu Chiyin said, feeling a little rebellious. “Maybe I’ll just take them off? We won’t kick off the blanket anyway.” She used the word “we” slyly, knowing Shen Ji was the only one who didn’t kick the blanket off.

“I don’t know…” Shen Ji was hesitant. They would be sleeping naked. What if Yu Chiyin kicked off the blanket in her sleep?

More rustling was heard, along with Yu Chiyin’s soft mumbling. 

“It’s okay. You can set an alarm.” The cameras would turn to face them at 9 AM, so as long as she put her pajamas back on before then, they’d be fine.

Even though Yu Chiyin’s movements were quiet, viewers knew from their conversation that she was taking her pajamas off. Everyone had thought the show’s popularity would go down when they went to sleep, but a new top trending topic appeared: #FamousActressLivestreamsNakedSleep.

Those who clicked on it realized it was a trick. The livestream was on, and Yu Chiyin was sleeping naked, but you couldn’t see anything. However, since they were already there, they stayed. Who knew what else this crazy couple would do?

Yu Chiyin was sleepy but also excited. She kept rubbing Shen Ji’s abs, making Shen Ji’s breathing a little heavier.

As a little punishment, Shen Ji lowered her head and gently bit her lower lip. Her voice was low and husky. “Stop being silly.”

Even though viewers couldn’t see her face, they could hear the lack of firmness in her voice. And so could Yu Chiyin.

Yu Chiyin giggled. “Hmm? What are you saying, wife? I can’t hear you~”

Shen Ji knew she was being a brat, taking advantage of the cameras. She was counting on Shen Ji not being able to do anything. They had been sleeping together every night, and Yu Chiyin would always tease her before bed, no matter how tired she was.

“I said, be a good girl and go to sleep.” Shen Ji suddenly inhaled and put her hand over Yu Chiyin’s. “Good girl.”

Her voice was so low and sexy. The more you couldn’t see, the more you could imagine. The comments were full of people screaming that they couldn’t take it anymore.

******

[Just tell me, show producers, I’ll pay whatever you want. Just turn the camera!]

[Oh, please, I beg you, turn the camera around!!!]

[They don’t see us as outsiders. It’s the show’s staff who are being rude!]

[Director, you’re so foolish! Turn the camera around, and you’ll get all the attention you want.]

******

The directors were helpless. The comments were filled with requests to turn the camera. The show’s official social media was also flooded with messages.

Fame and fortune were right in front of them, but they couldn’t do anything. They could only shed tears of frustration. The contract stated that during rest time, they could livestream, but the cameras could not be aimed at the contestants.

The wives had no idea about the internet chaos they were causing. Yu Chiyin was still fighting with Shen Ji because her little wife wouldn’t let her touch her anymore.

“You’ve changed,” she complained playfully.

“You didn’t treat me like this.”

“… “

Well, we didn’t have cameras on us before, Shen Ji thought. This little brat is taking advantage of the fact that I can’t do anything in front of the cameras.

“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Shen Ji tried a different approach to get her to sleep.

“Yes, but…” Yu Chiyin was too smart. She added, “I want to touch you while you do.”

She said it so fast Shen Ji couldn’t cover her mouth in time. Those words were going to be a huge topic of discussion online. Shen Ji gave up and let go of her hand.

“Okay.”

Before Yu Chiyin could get excited, Shen Ji’s hand slid under the covers and onto her waist. “What goes around, comes around.”

Oh no, Yu Chiyin thought, I shot myself in the foot. Her upper body was only wearing a thin bra.
