Chapter 63: With So Many Love Brains, There Are Not Enough Wild Vegetables On The Mountain To Dig

The camera seemed deliberate, capturing in detail how Wen Jin's fingers traced over Ruan Jinghong's body from a distance, and how she pinched her ear, leaving nothing hidden.

Even in the wide shots, anyone with eyes could see the intimacy between the two, especially CP fans who have always been Leeuwenhoek.

At this moment, Ruan Jinghong had no interest in the barrage exploding like fireworks. She was too afraid that night, and now, in a well-lit room, watching the video from a third-person perspective, the things she had previously ignored became impossible to disregard.

She stole a glance at Wen Jin, who was sitting relaxed beside her, trying to fathom her intentions at that moment.

It was just a comforting gesture, so why did it appear so... ambiguous? Could it be that I've been influenced by the barrage too?

Ruan Jinghong touched her reddened earlobe, torn between the thoughts of "Teacher Wen did it on purpose" and "I have a ghost in my heart*."

*我自己心里有鬼 (Wǒ zìjǐ xīnlǐ yǒu guǐ), conveys a sense of suspicion, guilt, or uneasiness about something. "I am paranoid/overthinking")

Regardless of which outcome it may seem, neither appears to be innocent.

Ruan Jinghong's gaze seemed to be fixed on the screen, unconsciously leaving a row of bite marks on her lip. Her thoughts had flown away somewhere.

Just then, an enlarged face suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was Jin Ziyi, staring intently at her flushed earlobes.

"A'Ruan, I noticed your ears are so cute. No wonder Senior Wen enjoys pinching them. Can I pinch them too?"

Ruan Jinghong: Huh?

Jin Ziyi stared at Ruan Jinghong, her eyes filled with pure and curious gazes, as if earnestly seeking Ruan Jinghong's opinion.

Ruan Jinghong was bewildered.

Why would someone want to pinch my ears? Was Teacher Wen also like this?

"Why do you want to pinch my ears?" Ruan Jinghong asked strangely.

"Because they're cute. Pinching something soft must be very relieving. I've always had a weakness for cute and squishy objects. Let me give it a try." Jin Ziyi's face was full of excitement as she sincerely negotiated.

But my ears aren't objects.

In the face of Jin Ziyi's expectant gaze, Ruan Jinghong struggled internally.

At that moment, Wen Jin stood up and approached the two of them. She grabbed a bottle of mineral water and casually sat in the empty seat between them, leisurely unscrewing the cap and drinking water sip by sip.

During this time, she didn't utter a word, but the invisible aura she emitted caused the two previously chatty sisters to freeze, unable to move or speak.

Finally, after staring at Ruan Jinghong's ears for several seconds, Jin Ziyi sighed with some regret, "Never mind, I'll go back and watch the variety show. We can do the pinching next time."

Ruan Jinghong, left suddenly aside, was stunned: Did she just make an appointment for next time?

Interrupted by Jin Ziyi like that, Ruan Jinghong found it difficult to resume her previous emotional struggle.

She looked up at the main culprit, Wen Jin, who had been causing her restless mind. The latter seemed completely unaffected, watching the variety show with the same focus she would have when watching documentaries.

Even when working overtime to record, Teacher Wen remained dedicated like this.

Ruan Jinghong's deep-rooted admiration couldn't help but emerge once again.

Sitting next to Wen Jin, Ruan Jinghong dared not let her mind wander and forced herself to continue watching the variety show attentively.

By this time, the footage had already reached the part where the two of them went to the kitchen to search for the second page of the diary. Foodie Ruan Jinghong had played a significant role in this task.

Teacher Wen, who can "pinch and calculate" had the little foodie fooled and left her stunned. This duo seems to be naturally destined for CP shippers.

[These snacks are made with so much care. It's making me hungry late at night.]

[Ruan Meow Meow's delicious appearance is making me envious. The snacks are being devoured as I watch.]

[Queen Wen is so mischievous. She quietly watched her wife for a long time and just happened to speak up when Ruan Meow Meow took the snacks, scaring her.]

[Poor silly child just wanted to have some snacks. What's wrong with that? dog head/]

[This question seems like a freebie for their team. Who else would think of eating snacks while searching for mission props?]

[233 Queen Wen even said she wants to take these snacks home. The prop team is crying in the restroom.]

[Just spoil her already.]

[Queen Wen is so good at amusing Ruan Meow Meow. She can calculate on the fly. One dares to say, the other dares to believe.]

[Why do I sometimes feel like Ruan Meow Meow isn't looking at her wife but rather at her teacher?]

[They have a unique CP dynamic, teacher-student play, and I'm here for it!]

Ruan Jinghong was well aware of her admiration for Wen Jin and accepted it calmly.

After all, Teacher Wen is so excellent that anyone would admire her.

But how many times has it been? What is it about teacher-student CP that netizens are obsessed with?

Sometimes Ruan Jinghong couldn't help but marvel at the wild imaginations of netizens. They can connect anything and everything to romantic relationships.

With so many love brains, there won't be enough wild vegetables left on the mountain to dig.

She thought that recently she must have read too many barrage comments, causing her thoughts to go astray.

It was one thing to secretly regard Teacher Wen as my ideal type, but now I'm starting to daydream and be delusional.

Ruan Jinghong vigorously shook her head, trying to shake off the newly sprouted love brain. However, her head movements were too intense, to the point where she made herself dizzy. Various thoughts continued to race through her mind, like an uncontrollable runaway wild horse.

The more she tried not to think about it, the more Wen Jin seemed to be entrenched in her mind, impossible to shake off. Every frown and smile was so vivid.

Even though the real Wen Jin was sitting right next to her, in her mind, she could simultaneously create several miniature versions of Wen Jin with the same appearance but different poses. These miniatures could be gentle, calm, or teasing, and they tormented Ruan Jinghong's little head, making it ache.

"What's wrong?" A pair of cool hands rubbed Ruan Jinghong's temples, providing a momentary relief from the throbbing pain in her head.

Ruan Jinghong raised her head and looked at the owner of those hands, feeling quite embarrassed. 

What should I say? 'I've been thinking about you to the point of a headache'? I'll get kicked out as a pervert.

Seeing Ruan Jinghong's pitiful expression with her thin lips tightly clenched, Wen Jin didn't continue to inquire. Instead, she reached out and gently pinched Ruan Jinghong's chin.

"If you keep biting, your lips will get chapped."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jinghong relaxed her pursed lips and released her reddened and pitiful lip that had been suppressed.

"Do you feel unwell? Should we go back soon?"

Wen Jin used the word "we."

Ruan Jinghong instinctively shook her head. Her unclear and ambiguous thoughts were affecting the filming of the show, which was highly unprofessional. It shouldn't affect Wen Jin's professionalism either.

Seeing Ruan Jinghong's response, Wen Jin didn't insist. Instead, she leaned closer to Ruan Jinghong and openly caressed her head without any reservation.

"If you're feeling unwell, let me know anytime."

"Mm." Ruan Jinghong nodded, pretending to continue watching the variety show as if nothing had happened.

During the momentary distraction of their conversation, the video had already progressed to the part where the guests were searching for the seven-page diary and gathering at the time-space teleportation point.

From the audience's god-like perspective, after watching the contents of the entire diary, some of the attention finally shifted from shipping CP to discussing the case.

[Based on my experience playing murder mystery games, the diary clearly points to Crown Prince Yin. So, the true identity of the person mentioned in the diary must not be Crown Prince Yin.]

[Among the other five guests, it could be the Grand Fu x Princess, the Advisor x Princess, Princess x Princess, Concubine x Princess, or Court Lady x Princess. I'm open to any of them!]

[How many Lujiang Lily novels did you consume, upstairs? Who knows, maybe the person mentioned in the diary is the culprit.]

Netizens never lack imagination. A single diary entry sparked numerous mini-plots in the barrage comments, and they even started playing a storytelling game.

Meanwhile, the show's time-travel official began calling out the procedures and revealing clues, successfully giving the online CP fandom a brain teaser.

[The situation is becoming complicated, and everyone is not simple. I have a feeling that they are all villains.]

[The person who hasn't shown any clues at this moment is the most dangerous person. The guests have been assigned hidden tasks, but there are no scenes showing it.]

[The Western Realm Princess and Princess Ruan had a secret conversation. I could sense a lily fragrance from them. They must've discussed something that cannot be aired.]

[Don't believe the nonsense Ruan Meow Meow  said earlier. Don't forget she's still suffering from amnesia, haha.]

[The first round of voting was truly like a theatrical performance, relying on acting skills. I feel a bit sorry for the Crown Prince and the Consort, who lack acting skills.]

[I bet a hundred pastries that Queen Wen drew the hello kitty on her back. Although I don't know when she did it.]

[It doesn't matter when she drew it. What matters is that my beloved Wen Xiang Ruan Yu is still in the same group. I'm so happy to see Jin Zi Yi fail to snatch her.]

[Jin Zi Yi: Are you being polite?]

Each group went to different scenes to find clues. The production team also edited private conversations between some guests without any reservations. For example, Ruan Jinghong's private statement accusing Wen Jin.]

[Laughing to death, Ruan Meow Meow has started to use her brain to analyze, but why do I want to laugh so much]

[I think Ruan Meow Meow's analysis this time is quite reasonable, but why do I subconsciously not fully believe her?]

[How can you not believe her when she looks so innocent? Doesn't your conscience ache? dog head /]

[The problem isn't with Ruan Meow Meow. It's that Queen Wen appears too cunning and always gives the impression that she's coaxing Ruan Meow Meow.]

[Be careful with your words. Does Queen Wen only 'appear' cunning?]

[I realize that my mind isn't suitable for analyzing such complex cases. I'm better off watching how Queen Wen entertains the cat.]

Ruan Jinghong felt displeased as netizens repeatedly criticized her intelligence. She muttered in self-defense: "I actually analyzed half of it correctly."

"Mm, your analysis is more than half right." Wen Jin agreed dotingly.

Obviously got approval, but Ruan Jinghong blushed thin-skinned.

In this scene, it truly seemed like the gentle and tolerant Wen Jin was coaxing this somewhat spoiled child.

But I was telling the truth. It's just that Teacher Wen is powerful and simply too enchanting.

In her heart, Ruan.Ostrich.Jinghong threw the blame onto Wen Jin.

Outside the screen, Wen Jin sat with indulgence and tolerance. Inside the screen, she investigated the case with meticulous planning. With just a few words, she brought the Crown Prince and the Concubine into her camp and assigned them the task of finding clues.

In the video, Ruan Jinghong, a person who had been oblivious to the situation due to amnesia, gradually became Wen Jin's capable assistant under her guidance.

The two of them worked together, exploring from the Western Princess's room to the ancestral scroll room, exhibiting seamless cooperation.

Just as the barrage exclaimed how sweet and in sync the historical detective version of Mr. & Mrs. Smith was, the two had already persuaded the old lady in the cold palace to fulfill her wish.

Ruan Jinghong knew what was coming next and inexplicably shrunk back against the sofa's backrest, feeling somewhat guilty.

Wen Jin, who was sitting closest to her, immediately sensed her discomfort and leaned back, patting her head.

"Don't worry, you performed excellently that day."

Ruan Jinghong blinked at the words, her eyes shimmering with tears.

Yes, it was just a performance. Why am I feeling guilty?
