After hanging up the phone, Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei exchanged a glance.
This punishment, it could be said, was simple. It was just about complimenting someone, who doesn't know how to say a few flattering words?
But it was also difficult. How should he start? He couldn't just come out and say, "You're so handsome."
Well, there was nothing wrong with that. After all, the show's production team didn't require their conversation to be logical. It was fine if their words didn't make sense.
To avoid breathing the cold morning air at five o'clock, Mu Zhengqing was the first to speak: "Mr. Lu, you are truly handsome and dashing. You're exceptionally attractive."
"Do you like someone who looks good from head to toe, and is charming from afar?" Lu Yiwei asked, looking at Mu Zhengqing.
"Of course I do," Mu Zhengqing said solemnly, spouting nonsense. "Especially your polite and humble attitude, I simply can't love it enough."
"I also like you, the one and only, unique you in this world," Lu Yiwei said with certainty.
"You're still the best. You're so honest and reliable. I feel very secure being with you," Mu Zhengqing continued, forcing a smile.
"In my eyes, you're the best. Your charm radiates from within, and you're consistent inside and out. Just one glance and I'm captivated for life," Lu Yiwei said with a serious expression.
Uh... Mu Zhengqing didn't know what to say. It wasn't that he was at a loss for words, but rather that he was embarrassed by Lu Yiwei's words. It was just a simple exchange of compliments, but Lu Yiwei made it seem like he was speaking from the heart.
As expected of a movie star, his acting skills were evident in every aspect. Mu Zhengqing felt inferior in comparison.
Not only did Mu Zhengqing admire Lu Yiwei's acting skills, but the netizens in the live stream were also praising his performance. He could say such exaggerated words with so much emotion. As expected of him.
The hashtag "#LuYiweiActing" quickly topped the trending search. [roflmao!]
Seeing that Mu Zhengqing had nothing else to say, Lu Yiwei also stopped talking.
Although he had a lot of compliments for Mu Zhengqing, he was in no hurry. There was still a whole day for him to express them.
Mu Zhengqing picked up his phone and saw hundreds of compliments from Gu Da.
From his appearance to his personality, from his personality to his temperament, from his temperament to his quality, from his quality to his ability, it was even more exaggerated than what Lu Yiwei had said earlier.
If he had seen these earlier, he wouldn't have thought for a moment that Lu Yiwei was being sincere.
He realised that he was simply inexperienced, and he didn't know that people now complimented each other in such an exaggerated way.
With the groundwork laid by Gu Da's messages, Mu Zhengqing could remain calm no matter what Lu Yiwei said.
Lu Yiwei: "Your singing is like heavenly music, thought-provoking and deeply moving."
Mu Zhengqing: "Your hearing is quite good."
Lu Yiwei: "Your dancing is as graceful as a wild goose and as agile as a dragon."
Mu Zhengqing: "Your taste is excellent."
.....
“#MuZhengqing'sThickSkin” this hashtag also trended.
For a time, Lu Yiwei's acting skills and Mu Zhengqing's thick skin were neck and neck in the trending search.
Mu Zhengqing's fans wanted to keep "#LuYiweiActing" in the first place.
Lu Yiwei's fans wanted to make "#MuZhengqing'sThickSkin" number one.
Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei were completely unaware of the trending battle online because they were on their way to the hospital.
While playing with his cat, Mu Zhengqing accidentally scratched his hand.
Because his cat was up-to-date with its vaccinations, Mu Zhengqing didn't think much of the wound on his hand. But when Lu Yiwei saw the wound on his hand, he insisted on taking him to get a vaccination.
Seeing Lu Yiwei's firm attitude, Mu Zhengqing could only agree to get the vaccination. Although he hated the smell of disinfectant, Lu Yiwei was doing this for his own good.
He originally thought he could just go to any nearby vaccination station, but Lu Yiwei took him directly to the largest hospital nearby.
"We're just getting a vaccination, there's no need to come here," Mu Zhengqing said reluctantly while sitting in the car.
He really didn't want to come to the hospital. He had sworn to himself before that unless he was so sick he couldn't get out of bed, he would never go to the hospital again.
"You don't like hospitals?" Seeing the resistance on Mu Zhengqing's face, Lu Yiwei asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I don't like them," Mu Zhengqing replied sincerely.
To avoid causing congestion, the live stream had been temporarily stopped, so there was only Lu Yiwei and him in the car.
Upon seeing the hospital, his mood soured. If the live stream was still on, he would have put on a show, but now he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Okay."
After confirming that Mu Zhengqing really didn't like hospitals, Lu Yiwei didn't ask why, but simply drove away. He found a nearby vaccination station, and Mu Zhengqing went in to get the rabies vaccine.
At first, he thought Mu Zhengqing was afraid of needles or something, but seeing Mu Zhengqing get the injection without changing his expression, he knew there must be other reasons why he didn't like going to hospitals.
Although no one likes going to the hospital, there are few people who are as resistant as Mu Zhengqing.
He could feel that Mu Zhengqing was in a low mood. He wanted to cheer him up, and it seemed his decision was right.
T/N: This is an extra EXTRA long chapter, almost 4 times the length of the regular (4.5K words to the usual 1K). I tried to break it up in 2 parts, but they were still too big, so I'm breaking it in 4 parts.
