62: Chapter 62 A lone man and woman alone in a tent
After Bayar's family had eaten and drunk their fill, they mounted their tall horses and disappeared into the depths of the grassland under the starlight, exuding a raw, primitive ruggedness.
Lei Jiayin and Lin Chen stood in the open space, watching them go.
Lei Jiayin smacked his lips and sighed, "As expected, riding horses is the ultimate romance for a real man."
Lin Chen nodded and replied with a straight face, "Only those who have ridden a 'rouge horse' can be called a real man."
"Hehehe!"
Lei Jiayin understood the subtext immediately. He flashed a lewd, knowing grin that all men understood and frantically wiggled his eyebrows at Lin Chen.
It was past ten at night.
After traveling all day, everyone was exhausted and sore.
After washing up, they crawled into their respective tents to rest.
Lin Chen splashed some river water on his face, changed into a pair of loose shorts and a cotton T-shirt, and crawled into the tent on the far edge.
Just as he lay down, a question suddenly popped into his head.
The Divas Hit the Road Group had eight people in total, and four double tents were just enough.
But the problem was, the members consisted of three men and five women.
If they paired up, there would definitely be one man and one woman sharing the same bed.
How was this supposed to be divided?
Before he could think too much about it, the tent flap was yanked open.
Tong Liya kicked off her slippers and crawled straight in.
She zipped it up behind her, knelt on the moisture-proof mat, and began to make the bed with her round, plump peach-like buttocks sticking out.
She had just finished showering, and on her lower body, she only wore a pair of extremely short, tight athletic shorts.
As she knelt, the pant legs instantly rode up to the very top.
The two halves of her pale, voluptuous buttocks swayed with the motion of making the bed.
Her long legs were dazzlingly white in the dim light.
Her short T-shirt was also dampened by sweat in one spot, vaguely revealing the outline of her pink bra.
Her jet-black hair was draped wetly over her snow-white shoulders, and droplets of water slid down her collarbone directly into her bottomless cleavage.
Although she had removed her makeup, her bare face was still stunningly beautiful.
"You're sleeping with me tonight?" Lin Chen glanced at her hot figure and asked offhandedly.
Tong Liya rolled her eyes in a charming way, "Duh! If I don't sleep with you, who am I supposed to sleep with? Do you want me to go keep Yue Yunpeng company? Are you tired of seeing me or something? Do you want me to pack up and clear out for you right now?"
Lin Chen was speechless.
He simply turned over with his back to her, "A gentleman doesn't fight with women. I'm going to sleep."
Tong Liya made a face at his back and waved her pink little fist.
She crossed her fair, long legs, pulled her cosmetic bag in front of her, and took out a pile of bottles and jars to apply skincare products to her beautiful face.
"Hey, when did you practice such a heavenly voice? I didn't even know about it at all." Tong Liya asked curiously while patting her cheeks.
Lin Chen kept his eyes closed and played dead, not saying a word.
Tong Liya reached out with her jade-like fingers and slapped his solid arm, "Stop playing dumb, I'm talking to you!"
Lin Chen didn't even move his body, "I have many skills. Do I have to report every single one to you?"
"You jerk!"
Tong Liya spat indignantly, turned away in a huff, and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him anymore.
After the skincare routine was finished, Tong Liya straightened her willowy waist, knelt, and turned on the camera in the corner of the tent.
She waved her fair, tender little hand with a sweet smile, "Good evening, everyone! Thank you all for joining us on our tour of the great grassland. It's late, so we need to go to sleep and rest. For the sake of privacy, I have to cover the lens. Everyone sleep early, goodnight!"
After speaking, she reached out and pushed Lin Chen's shoulder, "Lin Chen, stop pretending to be asleep. Come over and say goodnight to the audience."
"Not going to say it. I have no relation to them." Lin Chen refused decisively.
Tong Liya tried to persuade him patiently, "How can you say that? These netizens are our bread and butter."
Lin Chen opened his eyes, his tone flat, "Bread and butter who curse me in every possible way in the comments? My life is hard. If I really ended up with such extreme parents, I'd immediately grab a kitchen knife to cut off my flesh to return to my mother and strip my bones to return to my father!"
"Pfft—hahaha!"
Tong Liya was amused to the point of spraying laughter, her body collapsing softly onto the made bed.
The livestream room, occupied by millions of real people, completely exploded.
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Teacher Lin's resentment could practically break through the ceiling!"
"Teacher Lin, don't be moody. Most parents are still reasonable. Hurry up and say goodnight, Daddy!"
"Unfilial son! I only criticize you a couple of times, and you actually dare to strip your bones to return to your father! How rebellious!"
"If I wasn't jealous that you married five peerless beauties, would I curse you every single day? Unfilial son!"
"Teacher Lin is so funny when he's being tsundere! I'm pissing myself laughing!"
"You guys in the comments are all shameless, aren't you! He earned his money with his own ability. Who has ever eaten a bite of your handouts? He's right not to say goodnight! Don't panic, son, Daddy will help you curse these trolls to death!"
Tong Liya leaned toward the camera again to give a few more instructions, then took a prepared black cloth and covered the camera lens tightly.
This was a rule communicated in advance by the Production Team.
The lenses in all the tents were covered.
The so-called 24-hour, no-blind-spot livestream was purely a gimmick for hype.
Celebrities needed privacy, too.
Going to the bathroom, changing underwear, sleeping at night—they couldn't possibly expose all of that to millions of people.
There were definitely shills and trolls in the livestream room cursing and shouting about the Production Team being fraudulent.
But in the middle of the night, after a few complaints, they would just disperse.
Inside the tent, Tong Liya raised her two snow-white arms high and gave a fierce stretch.
Her small T-shirt was pulled up to her chest, completely exposing her flat, fair abdomen and her willow-like waist that could be gripped in one hand.
Taking a deep breath, she lay comfortably in the bed.
During the day, she had to act like a lady under the lens and didn't even dare to swear.
Now that she had finally blocked out a million pairs of eyes, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"I'm turning off the lights." Tong Liya called out lazily.
Lin Chen grunted in acknowledgement.
"Click."
The charging light hanging on the top of the tent went out, and the entire grassland campsite was plunged into complete darkness.
The Production Team staff members had all gone to rest as well.
Between heaven and earth, only the faint moonlight and twinkling stars remained.
"Huh? Why is that tent on the right lit up again? Who isn't sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Just two minutes after lying down, Tong Liya saw a glimmer of light through a gap in the tent and muttered in confusion.
Lin Chen immediately perked up.
He unzipped the tent, poked his head out, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother in the red tent on the right! What time is it, and you're still not closing your eyes?"
"It's too damn crowded!"
The sound of Lei Jiayin's miserable, broken scream came from far away.
The person staying in the same room as him was definitely the large-bodied Yue Yunpeng.
