After the Wacky Bottom and His Ex Join a Variety Show, They Get a Happy Ending

[Main story complete] A lighthearted, ridiculous entertainment-industry romance about a couple getting back together after a breakup. Washed-up nobody Lin Su kissed a guest on camera during a variety show. After the kiss, he realized it was his ex-boyfriend, whom he'd dumped three years ago, now a hugely popular three-time Best Actor. To make money and pay off his enormous debts, and to make the show more entertaining, Lin Su diligently let loose and shamelessly took advantage of everyone equally. Including his refined, aloof, Chinese-Swiss beauty of an ex-boyfriend, the Best Actor. Ex-boyfriend: Let's get reacquainted. I'm Mu Huizhi. Huizhi, as in "follow the river's course." Lin Su: Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you. I'm Lin the Has-Been. You're not eating this plane meal, right? Ex-boyfriend: ... The viewers in the livestream watched in stunned silence as washed-up nobody Lin Su came up with all sorts of ways to mooch off people. He even dared to mooch off that Best Actor, and somehow actually succeeded! Later, viewers who got used to Lin Su's outrageous antics were hooked, and started to sense a little sweetness between him and the Best Actor. Especially when they realized that the elegant, unflappable Best Actor had learned to offer up his own goodies. Best Actor: Lin Su, a diamond cufflink. Hold my hand. Best Actor: Lin Su, this eight-million-yuan watch. Let me hug you. Best Actor: Lin Su, take this bouquet of Juliet roses worth three million pounds. Can I kiss you? Lin Su's mooching fans: "How the hell are you not going to take him up on that?!" The couple's fans: "This is love! We're shipping the real thing!" Lin the online performer, washed-up has-been, clinging to his last shred of dignity as a pretty boy's fan, King of Mooching, King of Flirty Lines, God of Bad Luck, Su: "..." Mu Huizhi lowered his eyes and smiled at Lin Su, murmuring softly, "So... is that all right?" Blushing, Lin Su nodded and whispered, "Actually... you can just give me cash next time." "..." PS: The variety show borrows some elements from popular shows, with a few changes of my own. Please add my new novel to your favorites: The Lazy Beauty Is Begged by His Kid to Join a Parenting Show! A beautiful, laid-back man secretly married a CEO with no worldly desires. Their energetic little bear cub, who has the stamina of a tiny terrier, sticks out like a sore thumb in the family. When he hears that the aloof little Sen next door, who looks down on him, is going on a parenting show, the cub worries someone will steal his sweetheart. He pesters the lazy beauty to take him on the show so he can win his sweetheart's heart, promising to behave and look after Qiao Qiao properly. The laid-back beauty lazily nods. "All right." The CEO is immediately on guard. "Do I have to go on it too?" The laid-back beauty scoffs. "Don't worry. You can stay home and watch the house." The cub stirs things up. "I heard they're inviting lots of handsome men this time. Whoever Qiao Qiao likes, I'll help you win him over!" The CEO, with his back turned, perks up one ear and suddenly relaxes. "Don't worry. He's too lazy. He couldn't even be bothered to chase me back then." The laid-back beauty: "..." He gives him a hard kick under the covers, hears a sexy groan, then turns back to his novel with satisfaction and tells the cub at the door, "Close the door." The cub, Qiuqiu, who has his heart set on little Sen, shuts the door with a bang. Only after the child is out of earshot does the CEO drop his act and wrap his arms around Lin Qiao, calling him "Baby" over and over. "It took me so much effort to win you over." Lin Qiao, who remembers that they actually got married on a whim: "..." When word gets out that the peerlessly beautiful Lin Qiao, who's been secretly married, will appear in public on a parenting show with the heir to a wealthy family, legions of longtime fans flood the livestream. "Sob! How did my beautiful man end up secretly married with a kid?!" "If Qiao Qiao's the one who had the baby, then the kid must be a cool, haughty little beauty too!" "Ha. I hear he's so spoiled that he's already grown into a useless little brat." But when the stretch limousine stops, a dashing little prince hops out first. He opens the car door and offers his hand, and only then does the gorgeous Qiao Qiao emerge in regal splendor, lazily resting a hand on his as they head for the red carpet. The viewers in the livestream are stunned. "Holy crap!" And on the show... The little cub Qiuqiu comes up with all sorts of ways to serve the beautiful Qiao Qiao every day. "Qiao Qiao, stop sleeping and get up for breakfast. If we're late, little Sen won't wait for me to walk to school with him again." "Qiao Qiao, we're on a show! You can't look so sloppy. Hurry up and put on a beauty mask! Do a subtle, natural-looking makeup look!" "Qiao Qiao, are you done with this page? My arm's about to fall off..." "Turn..." "On it!" "Qiao Qiao, could you also help me buy little Sen a present today...?" Lin Qiao shoots him a look. "Don't learn those useless tricks from your dad. Does he even pay attention to you?" Qiuqiu is dumbfounded. "Th-then what should I do?" Lin Qiao crooks a finger. "Come here. I'll teach you." The viewers in the livestream: "Is that something you can teach him?!" Later, the young master of the Wen family, born into a distinguished, wealthy clan and known for his aloofness, who'd always found Qiuqiu annoying and beneath him, actually starts talking to him of his own accord! The viewers: "Holy crap!!!" After watching the entire livestream of his wife and Qiuqiu today, the CEO replays it just to make sure no one with wandering eyes has been coveting his wife. He finally feels at ease. Then Lin Qiao's call comes out of nowhere. He hurriedly lowers his voice into a deep, magnetic CEO voice and answers. "Hello, baby. Miss me?" The viewers in the livestream are swept away by the voice of this famously eligible bachelor. "You can tell just by listening that he's the ultimate top!" Lin Qiao glances at the comments. Knowing exactly what Shen Jingxi is like, he smiles lazily and seductively. "I do. I want to see you right now." The CEO coughs. "Me too, but I'm still working overtime." Lin Qiao doesn't seem to mind. "...Oh." The viewers condemn this loveless marriage. "Qiao Qiao! Dump him! That single dad next door would make a much better husband!" Then that evening, a flashy, luxurious private helicopter suddenly appears above the production crew. A handsome, stern-looking man steps out with an elegant stride. After looking up the price of the helicopter, the viewers are stunned. "Holy crap!" Lin Qiao is lying in bed, unwilling to move, enjoying Qiuqiu's little song as he sings him to sleep. "..." Qiuqiu complains scornfully, "He finally found an excuse to show off his giant collectible." When the door opens, both of them look annoyed. Shen Jingxi freezes, hurt. He pulls Lin Qiao into his arms and says nothing for a long time. Lin Qiao is taken aback, then wraps his arms around the man's back and kisses his thin lips. "Don't worry. You're the only one I'll ever marry." The superfluous Shen Qiuqiu: "..." Hmph! I'm going to find my sweetheart and sleep with him! Couple pairing: laid-back, lazy beauty bottom Lin Qiao x CEO top Shen Jingxi, whose sex drive is practically nonexistent (married because of the baby, marriage first and love later) Kid pairing: a cub whose sweetheart comes first and Qiao Qiao comes second, a very skilled bottom x an upright, aloof cub who says one thing and means another, a cold top (childhood friends, romance starts in adulthood) Theme: Rise against the current and pursue the stars and love.
