After Transmigrated as the Movie Star's Omega - Chapter 10
【Those are definitely hickeys! Damn, and not just one; there’s another one on the other side!】
【Looks like there are teeth marks too…】
【This is a bit much, isn’t it? Teacher Shen, quick, tell us—was it your Alpha possessiveness acting up? Did you leave those marks on purpose for us to see? Don’t worry, no one’s going to steal him from you!】
【AAHHH! Just thinking about it is so exciting! Tell us, what did you two do last night?!】
【I know! It was definitely wild “doing it”!】
The host watched the audience’s discussion, and cold sweat nearly started pouring down. How sharp were these people’s eyes? They found marks that faint even though they were covered by a layer of foundation…
Hey, hey, hey, stop discussing things in such a “non-harmonious” direction, or the live stream room will get banned!
To avoid the achievement of becoming the shortest-lived stream in history, the host decided to start the interview immediately to divert their attention.
She cleared her throat and began her opening introduction: “Good evening to all our viewers! Welcome to my interview stream. I’m your host, Anna. Today, we have two very heavyweight guests in our studio—our National CP, the Baibi Wu-Xia couple! Teacher Shen, Ran-ran, would you two please say hello to the audience first?”
Shen Baibi nodded with a smile and said warmly, “Good evening, everyone. I’m Shen Baibi. I’m very happy to participate in tonight’s stream. I hope everyone will show us plenty of support.”
【Wow, Teacher Shen is so gentle~】
【Sisters, just think about the hickeys on Ran-ran’s neck and you’ll know this man isn’t actually that gentle.】
【Heh heh, a gentleman in the streets, a beast in the sheets. I love this persona!】
Xia Ran waved at the camera, his smile as sunny and radiant as ever. “Yo! I’m Xia Ran. I’m here tonight, and until the stream ends, none of you are allowed to leave!” After saying that, he threw a wink at the camera.
【AAHHH! Ran-ran is still so lively and cute! Even as a ‘wife,’ he’s still my Little Sun!】
【Teacher Shen just frowned and glanced at Ran-ran…】
【He’s jealous! He’s jealous! He’s jealous!】
【Teacher Shen, don’t be so stingy! Ran-ran is yours; we definitely won’t steal him from you 2333.】
Good, their attention is shifting.
The host breathed a sigh of relief and pushed forward. After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they moved into the formal interview.
Both Shen Baibi and Xia Ran straightened their backs and sat up a bit more formally. They had prepared for a night and a whole day specifically for this moment.
The host said, “Teacher Shen, Ran-ran, ever since you went public with your relationship, you’ve received widespread attention. Everyone wants to know more about you. We’ve specifically selected some questions from netizens, so I’ll interview you on their behalf.”
“Sure.”
“First question,” the host glanced at the prompter. “Wow, this one is quite direct. This netizen wants to know your opinions of each other. Could you both talk about the image the other person holds in your heart? Who wants to go first?”
Xia Ran immediately raised his hand enthusiastically. “Me, me, me! I’ll go first!”
【Hahaha, I knew Ran-ran would raise his hand first. He’s so impulsive 2333.】
【Ran-ran is so impatient because he wants to show off his husband to everyone. Come on, feed us the sugar!】
【My mouth is wide open, ready to receive the sugar.】
【No, it’s ‘dog food’!】
“Alright, Ran-ran goes first then,” the host said.
Xia Ran opened his mouth and unleashed a torrent of praise: “Shen Baibi? He’s gentle, considerate, and very good at taking care of people. He’s also super decisive. Whenever he’s by my side, I feel very reliable and secure. I feel like I can trust him with anything!”
Xia Ran recited the fruits of his labor from the previous night. Following the script Shen Baibi had written for himself, he praised him from head to toe, inside and out. His expression and tone were perfectly synchronized; to an outsider, it looked exactly like someone who had been completely dazed by Shen Baibi, falling so deeply in love that they couldn’t pull themselves out.
【My god, Ran-ran is so good at talking. I’m blushing just listening to him.】
【It’s nothing but strengths. These filters are so thick! Is this ‘beauty in the eye of the beholder’ 2333?】
【Nonsense! These aren’t filters; this is clearly love!】
【Listen to this ‘rainbow fart’ (flattery). Did you guys notice Teacher Shen’s expression looks a bit stiff? Is he embarrassed?】
【Hahahahaha! Ran-ran’s praise is so high even the subject, Teacher Shen, is getting shy.】
【Teacher Shen: ‘I’m not, I don’t…’ Ran-ran: ‘No, you are! You’re the best!’】
【So sweet! It’s going to explode with sweetness! So in Ran-ran’s eyes, Teacher Shen is this good? I got my sugar hit~】
Xia Ran praised Shen Baibi as if he were a god on earth. Sitting beside him, Shen Baibi’s smile stiffened by several degrees. Even though he had written it himself, hearing it come from someone else’s mouth—and sounding so sincere—made even him feel it was a bit much.
It was so shameful. Although he had only written the truth, Shen Baibi really wanted to know how Xia Ran managed to say those words without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.
What he didn’t know was that Xia Ran had already passed the shame stage. After returning to his room last night, he had seriously read and memorized the entire text. Since he didn’t want anything to go wrong during the stream, he had memorized it while grumbling. By the time he had it all down, he was capable of praising his rival without batting an eye.
This was what they call “habit becoming second nature.”
The host listened to Xia Ran’s praise with a “shipper” smile and immediately turned to Shen Baibi. “Ran-ran has praised you so much! Teacher Shen, what are your thoughts after hearing that?”
Shen Baibi made a fist, placed it over his lips, and coughed lightly. “He’s exaggerating. I’m actually not that good.”
Beside him, Xia Ran was struggling to suppress the urge to roll his eyes. This man is so hypocritical! You wrote it yourself, so why the act? If you aren’t that good, don’t write it! You made me memorize it for so long in shame last night!
“However, knowing that I look like this in his eyes makes me very happy. I’m also glad he can love this version of me,” Shen Baibi said with a slight smile.
Xia Ran secretly clenched his fists. Who loves you! Don’t talk nonsense just because I can’t hit you during a live stream!
The host nodded vigorously and prodded him: “Then how does Teacher Shen view Ran-ran?”
Xia Ran sat up straight, ready to hear Shen Baibi praise him. One good turn deserves another; since he had praised Shen Baibi to the high heavens, it was now time for Shen Baibi to pay him back.
He was all ears.
“I think…” Shen Baibi mused for a moment, smiled, and began, “Xia Ran just praised me a lot, but I feel those words are actually more appropriate when applied to him. He is the one who truly deserves those descriptions.”
Huh?
Xia Ran blinked. This was a bit different from what he had written. Wasn’t it missing about thirty-eight thousand words of specific details?
The host was stunned and repeated, “Are you saying you feel Ran-ran is the one who fits that perfect image he described?”
“Yes,” Shen Baibi said, a faint smile on his lips as he nodded.
Huh?!
Xia Ran, still waiting for the rest, blinked again. That’s it?
Xia Ran looked at Shen Baibi with a look of pure betrayal: Shen Baibi, you traitor! Why aren’t you following the rules? I praised you exactly as scripted, and you’re brushing me off like this!
Shen Baibi met his gaze with a look of utter composure.
Their stares practically sparked in the air.
【I was wondering how Teacher Shen would follow up after Ran-ran used up all the compliments, but he just sent them all back! ‘In my eyes, you are the most beautiful one.’ AAAHHH, what kind of divine love is this!】
【They are each other’s ‘best person.’ Sobbing… today is another day of crying over Baibi Wu-Xia’s beautiful love.】
【Two people staring affectionately at each other. Aside from ‘sweet,’ I don’t know what to say.】
【Look at Ran-ran’s expression; he’s shy too. Teacher Shen is so good at flirting; he flirted him back with just one sentence.】
【AAAHHH! Get married already!】
【Sister, are you stupid? They’re already married. Wake up!】
【Then ‘do it’ right there on the spot, heh heh heh.】
【Heh heh, I’m down for that.】
The host peeked at the comments. Seeing the wailing from the fans, she wished she could join them. Being there in person, she knew best: the atmosphere between the two was starting to heat up. Their gazes were intertwined and inseparable, looking like they could “ignite” at any second.
But she couldn’t let that happen. It was a live stream; she couldn’t let an accident occur. As a professional host, she had to control the floor.
“From those words, we can really feel that your relationship is wonderful. Just listening makes one feel happy.” The host smiled, leading into the next question. “Next question: this netizen wants to know—do you have any intimate nicknames for each other?”
After saying this, the host also looked curious. “I really want to know this too, because I noticed you both call each other by your names just now. It feels like there isn’t a particularly intimate nickname. Is it because you’re shy on camera?”
Prompted by the host, the fans also realized they had a blind spot. How had they overlooked the issue of nicknames?
The two looked at each other. They hadn’t considered this question. How should they answer?
Xia Ran shook his head. “Not really. We usually just call each other by name.”
They had been calling each other by name until now; changing to an intimate nickname suddenly would feel weird. It was better to just go with a logical explanation. Besides…
What else did they want? Did they expect them to call each other “Baby” or “Sweetheart”? Whether it was him calling Shen Baibi or vice versa, they’d both die of disgust!
“Eh? Not at all?” The host was surprised. So little romance? Don’t you have pet names in bed?
Tch.
Shen Baibi, however, smiled gently and followed up on Xia Ran’s words: “Because before we were together, we always called each other by name, so it became a habit. However, sometimes when he’s acting spoiled, he calls me ‘Darling,’ and I call him ‘Ran-ran’.”
Hearing him spin such a bizarre lie, Xia Ran struggled to suppress his goosebumps as he cooperatively nodded and smiled. Inside, however, he was screaming: What ‘Darling’?! That’s disgusting! It’s impossible for me to call Shen Baibi ‘Darling’—not in this lifetime!
Never!
“Is that so?” The host was a bit disappointed. Those nicknames were so generic; it felt a bit plain and unromantic.
But after thinking about it, she felt it made sense. After all, “ordinariness is truth.”
The host glanced at the comments and saw the fans were spamming the chat, begging her to ask a follow-up. She obliged.
“Then, besides calling each other by name, is there any intimate nickname you want the other person to call you?” The host asked on behalf of the netizens.
As soon as she said this, the comments boiled over.
【I don’t believe for a second Teacher Shen doesn’t want to hear Ran-ran call him ‘Husband’!】
【Make him say it! Make him say it!】
This question caught Xia Ran off guard again. While he was agonizing over whether to make Shen Baibi call him “Baby” or “Sweetheart,” he heard the host speak: “Ran-ran answered first last time, so let’s let Teacher Shen go first for this one.”
“Sure.”
Shen Baibi mused for a moment, then cast a glance at Xia Ran. There was a faint hint of playfulness in his eyes.
“I want him to call me…”
Xia Ran looked back at him, his eyes carrying a threat: Don’t you dare push your luck!
Shen Baibi had an idea and smiled. “Just call me ‘Gege’ (Big Brother).”
