"Is this really breakfast made by Purple Flame?" Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing sat at the dining table, looking at the perfectly golden fried eggs that were both fragrant and exquisite. They couldn't help but glance toward Ye Xiao in the living room.
Ye Xiao, without turning his head, was scrolling through TV shows or movie covers using the TV's internet feature. After all, what's truly captivating may not be the content itself; the cover often showcases the most beautiful aspect. At that moment, he was looking at the cover of an MV by Liu Muyun.
Out of all these so-called celebrities, only Liu Muyun truly captivated Ye Xiao.
Liu Muyun!
Thinking about her, Ye Xiao couldn't help but reminisce about this woman who pretends to be pure in public but is quite the complainer in front of him. Her real self, truly, people are simply advanced animals.
"Hey, what are you watching that's so engrossing?" Fang Jing noticed Ye Xiao didn't answer Xia Mingyue, and immediately looked at Ye Xiao curiously. Her gaze fell on the TV, discovering Liu Muyun's sexy cover, and she immediately mocked, "Ye Xiao, are you fantasizing about Liu Muyun right now?"
Ye Xiao heard this and immediately smiled smugly, saying, "For Liu Muyun, I don't need to fantasize over pictures. With just one call, she'd be here in front of me today."
Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing both gave Ye Xiao a disdainful look upon hearing this, clearly thinking he was just bragging.
No matter how noble a person is, they will chase stars—be it because a celebrity looks attractive, has an admirable presence, or their work is considered a masterpiece.
Coincidentally, Liu Muyun scores high in all three areas.
People say, as a celebrity, if you excel in acting, you transition to singing, and vice versa. Yet Liu Muyun refuses to be an actress—not because she doesn't want to, but because someone once told her that her body belongs to one person only. So, she should have been a superstar in both acting and singing, but Liu Muyun remains just in the music scene. Even so, Liu Muyun's popularity surpasses past and present superstars—she's a phenomenon in the entertainment industry.
Xia Mingyue's gaze finally fell on Fang Jing's face. With a smile, she said, "Actually, I'd rather discuss who made these fantastic-tasting fried eggs."
Ye Xiao clearly hadn't heard Xia Mingyue's earlier question, so upon hearing her now, he immediately said, "Of course it's Purple Flame MM's masterpiece."
"Didn't expect this; Purple Flame really knows her way around both living rooms and kitchens," Xia Mingyue admired.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but boast, "Absolutely! Not everyone gets to catch her eye."
"What?" Xia Mingyue raised her eyebrows at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Well, I'm really familiar with Liu Muyun. If you don't believe it, I can't help you. But you must understand, someone as charming as me is quite rare."
"Ming Yue, why do I feel like losing my appetite? This guy is just too much," Fang Jing sighed.
Xia Mingyue nodded in agreement, "It's true, but Liu Muyun is indeed extraordinary. Two months ago, she went to Minghai City. Honestly, I didn't expect her to visit such a secondary city, it shows she's quite relatable. Unfortunately, she came and went quickly. By the time I arrived, she had already left."
"You mean you were there too that day?" Ye Xiao looked surprised at Xia Mingyue.
Xia Mingyue gave a wry smile, "Yeah, but I went too late; Liu Muyun had left ten minutes before."
"Seems you like Liu Muyun a lot? We're quite similar," Ye Xiao said seriously.
Xia Mingyue immediately said, "Can you stop insulting my idol? Someone like you isn't qualified to like Liu Muyun."
Ye Xiao, upon hearing this, wasn't having it.
"Why can't I like Liu Muyun?" Ye Xiao said somewhat displeased, fully thinking this was an insult to his character, so he continued, "Let me tell you, it's not just about me liking her; eventually she'll marry me. That's non-negotiable."
Ye Xiao spoke very earnestly, as if it was only natural. Indeed, it really was only natural; if Ye Xiao now called Liu Muyun and said he wanted to marry her, she would rush back regardless of any important work, because if it weren't for Ye Xiao supporting her, she might have already quit the music industry and followed Ye Xiao around like a shadow.
However, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing couldn't possibly know these things—they couldn't possibly imagine.
So, when Ye Xiao stated the facts, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing both reacted with contempt.
"Are you crazy? You think you can marry Liu Muyun? Someone like you, she wouldn't even want as a shoestring," Xia Mingyue mocked mercilessly, clearly not inclined to be courteous to those who like to brag.
Listening to Xia Mingyue, Ye Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing.
As Ye Xiao stopped arguing but just smiled, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were quite puzzled.
Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, you're not getting all riled up because we pointed out the truth, are you?"
"Riled up?" Ye Xiao said, "How could that be? I'm just laughing at how ignorant you are, that's all, really nothing else."
"..."
Fang Jing and Xia Mingyue immediately flared up in anger.
"Ye Xiao, it's important for one to have self-awareness."
Ye Xiao chuckled softly, then looked at the TV and said, "A frog stays at the bottom of a well all day, but still, the blue sky isn't just as big as the mouth of the well."
Sarcasm!
Fang Jing and Xia Mingyue were even more displeased.
Xia Mingyue immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Alright, since you're so confident, you must be really familiar with Liu Muyun. So, call Liu Muyun now, and let us see her through a video call. If you can, haha, I'll believe you then."
"What good does that do me?" Ye Xiao remained emotionally unperturbed by Xia Mingyue's words and replied calmly.
Xia Mingyue said, "What more do you want?"
"What nonsense, of course there needs to be something in it for me. Otherwise, why would I waste my phone credit?" Ye Xiao retorted without even turning his head.
Fang Jing chimed in at this moment, "If you can show us Liu Muyun, then Ming Yue will marry you."
"Jinger, what are you saying? Why don't you say you marry him?" Xia Mingyue immediately turned and glared at Fang Jing.
Fang Jing immediately whispered to Xia Mingyue, "Ming Yue, are you silly? Do you think Ye Xiao really knows Liu Muyun? This is clearly a sure win for you."
Xia Mingyue thought about it and realized it made sense.
At this moment, Ye Xiao was intrigued by Fang Jing's words, smiled at Fang Jing, and said, "Haha, are you serious? I'm telling you, I'm very close with Liu Muyun. If I ask her for a kiss, she definitely won't just give me a hug."
Seeing Ye Xiao's smug expression, Xia Mingyue was even more convinced that it was impossible. She also felt that Ye Xiao was overacting.
Xia Mingyue said to Ye Xiao, "Can you stop insulting Liu Muyun? I'm telling you, she's my idol. But today, I'll go head-to-head with you. Just like Fang Jing said, if you can video call Liu Muyun, then..."
Xia Mingyue paused here and didn't continue speaking, obviously reconsidering.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "If you're willing to kiss me in front of Liu Muyun and say you're willing to be my wife along with her, hehe, I'll let you meet Liu Muyun."
"Ye Xiao, can you not be so shameless? You still want a polygamous marriage?" Xia Mingyue glared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "What? Is that not allowed? As long as you're willing, of course, I'm willing. But if you're not willing, that just proves you believe what I just said. After all, I hate lying and deceiving more than anything."
At this moment, Xia Mingyue was really stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she said she was willing, it would be like admitting Ye Xiao's words were true. But admitting what Ye Xiao just said is true was more painful than death to her—Xia Mingyue couldn't believe Ye Xiao's nonsense at all.
Seeing Xia Mingyue's dilemma, Fang Jing immediately said to her, "Ming Yue, is there really a need to hesitate? Look at Ye Xiao's smug grin; he's clearly watching your reaction. You know, he's betting that you wouldn't dare to gamble with him."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyue thought Fang Jing was right. Looking at Ye Xiao's grinning face again, it was clearly intentional.
"Okay, I agree!" Xia Mingyue immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "But if you can't make it happen for me to meet Liu Muyun, then you have to bow down to me every day in the future, and whenever I say something, you must listen and obey. Whatever I ask you to do, you have to do it for the rest of your life."
"Do you have to be so harsh?" Ye Xiao smirked and said, "Ming Yue, we don't have any grudges."
"Hmph." Seeing Ye Xiao's hesitation, Xia Mingyue was more certain that Ye Xiao regretted it, so she quickly pressed her advantage, saying, "It has to be like this. I'm a person who keeps my word, so you have to be a person who keeps your word too."
Ye Xiao thought about it and said nothing!
Seeing Ye Xiao not speaking, Xia Mingyue immediately looked at Fang Jing, who also glanced at Xia Mingyue at this time.
