Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

His eyes held a hint of weariness, but more than that, a complex and unfathomable depth, like a dark, deep sea.

Their eyes met, locked in a silent embrace, and the air instantly became thick and ambiguous.

Wen Xi's scalp tingled from the faint sound, and his heart involuntarily clenched.

"He Tingchu".

"Um."

"Do I look that love-struck?" Wen Xi's eyelashes trembled, and he met her gaze with a cold stare.

He Tingchu couldn't deny his own thoughts. He subconsciously wanted to nod, but the curve of his nod wasn't very obvious.

What Wen Xi saw was that his eyes rolled slightly.

"Have I never eaten pork or never seen a pig run? Tell me, would I really go to such lengths for a pig?" Wen Xi rolled his eyes.

He Tingchu was successfully amused by her, and the corners of his lips curled up, which was caught by Wen Xi out of the corner of his eye.

Is the ability to make a stern, unsmiling person laugh another skill of hers?

Wen Xi raised an eyebrow smugly.

To prove her point, she even sent a picture.

In the photo, the human-shaped body pillow with He Tingyou's face has become unrecognizable, huddled in a narrow corner of the cabinet, shivering.

"Did you prick it with a needle?"

A while ago, a real estate agent contacted her saying that a tenant had taken a liking to the house and wanted to rent it, and Wenxi agreed.

Later, while tidying up the bedroom, the tenant found the oversized human-shaped cushion in the closet. The real estate agent even sent her a picture and asked if she still wanted it.

Three years ago, she spent over a thousand yuan to specially order a human-shaped body pillow, but it has withered beyond recognition.

The stuffing inside almost stretched He Tingyou's handsome face to pieces. The exposed cotton and stuffing made He Tingyou's face look ferocious and terrifying. From a distance, it looked like an infinitely swollen pig's head.

How could her pillow be like this in less than a month?

Wen Xi thought it over and over,

She's been holding him for three years now, and there hasn't been a single problem. He's in top quality. So why did He Tingyou's face suddenly explode?

The man in the video looks like he's been caught red-handed; his forehead is covered in a thick layer of sweat. -_-||

"What did you say? I can't hear you. Oh, is the signal bad here? Hello, can you hear me?" The man on the other end of the video call hurriedly cut off the call.

A distinct smile appeared on Wen Xi's lips.

How could He Tingchu be so childish!

The life-sized body pillow ended up quietly lying in the large trash can downstairs.

She told the agent to throw it in the trash, and the agent responsibly sent her a photo of the processed product, saying it was all done.

Wen Xi casually forwarded it to He Tingchu.

"Are you happy now?"

He shouldn't be too happy.

The man on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had wrinkles on his face from smiling so much that his facial expression was stiff.

-

Wen Xi had just finished a video call with He Tingchu when he saw that "pig's head" deep in the garden.

The two figures were hidden under the shade of the trees. Wen Xi's curiosity was immediately piqued. Could it be that the movie star and the movie queen were going to show off their love on the spot?

As a true fan, how could I miss such a once-in-a-lifetime event?

Unable to hide her excitement, Wen Xi bent over and quietly leaned closer to hear, accidentally pressing the record button on her phone.

"Tingyou, your family doesn't seem to like me very much?"

"It's alright, I'll talk to them. Give me some time," He Tingyou said, pulling the beauty into his arms.

"Why does everyone like Wen Xi but not me? Did she say bad things about me to Grandma?" Zhou Yi's voice sounded like she was sobbing softly.

Of course I like her; she's the daughter of the Wen family.

Wen Xi was secretly delighted.

"She's my sister-in-law now, Yiyi, you'd better not say anything out of line," He Tingyou said in a low voice.

"She almost became your wife, but you didn't want her anymore, so she turned around and married your older brother. How shameless! She couldn't seduce you, so she tried to seduce your older brother?" Zhou Yi's seemingly innocent eyes radiated a clear naiveté.

"Yiyi!" He Tingyou glanced at her with an annoyed expression.

"I'm sorry, Tingyou, you know I've always been outspoken." Zhou Yi switched back to her fragile and helpless persona.

It must be admitted that Zhou Yi's acting skills are superb.

"Alright, don't say that again next time." He Tingyou pinched her cheek.

Wen Xi couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation. This side of He Tingyou and Zhou Yi was something she had never seen before.

She hadn't eaten breakfast, but her stomach was churning violently, and she felt an overwhelming urge to burst forth.

"yue, yue..."

"Who?" He Tingyou asked in a low voice. The two peeked out and saw Wen Xi standing by the flower bed.

"You shameless bastard, eavesdropping on our conversation!" Zhou Yi nestled into He Tingyou's arms like a little bird, taking the initiative.

Aren't they ashamed?

Wen Xi suppressed the discomfort, his voice clear and cold.

"Who is shameless enough to spread rumors about me behind my back?"

"What rumors? Didn't you try to seduce Tingyou, so you turned around and tried to seduce his older brother? Only those two brothers would be so stupid as to fall for your schemes." Zhou Yi's words were also an indiscriminate attack on He Tingyou.

He Tingyou's expression turned rather unpleasant.

"Zhou Yi, shut up." He Tingyou felt annoyed.

"Tingyou, I know you're the best at judging tea, but your older brother is just a bookworm. He's not as clear-headed as you." Zhou Yi didn't notice He Tingyou's gloomy expression.

Returning to the question of why He Tingyou fell for Zhou Yi, their feelings for each other were a case of acting becoming real.

During this period, he and Zhou Yi filmed two period dramas in a row. In the dramas, Zhou Yi played a strong and resilient female lead. He Tingyou got too into the role and gradually connected the character in the drama with Zhou Yi.

In his eyes, Zhou Yi is a resilient small-town girl who, despite her poor family background and humble beginnings, managed to support her entire family by acting.

Although she missed out on higher education because of filming, her optimistic, generous, and positive attitude deeply attracted He Tingyou's attention.

So the two secretly started dating and even participated in offline events together, looking just like a loving on-screen couple.

Could the bookworm Zhou Yi was talking about be He Tingchu?

Wen Xi chuckled lightly, wondering how He Tingchu felt upon hearing his "nickname".

"If it were me, I would have married my younger brother, but he didn't want me anymore, so I would have turned around and begged him to marry my older brother. It's really ridiculous. As the saying goes, a good woman doesn't serve two husbands..." Zhou Yiyi got a little carried away and started rambling on and on, unaware that the man behind her had a terrifyingly gloomy face.

"Yiyi, that's enough, stop talking." He Tingyou interrupted sharply, his expression full of disgust.

"Tingyou..." Zhou Yizhen truly lived up to her reputation as a delicate flower; tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

Good grief, are you insulting her?

But she wasn't angry at all; she just thought she was stupid.

Fools will be punished by wicked people.
