Chapter 119 Was that your first kiss? (Two in one)
Chu Ze looked at Xia Anruo's expression of wanting to refuse but also wanting to accept, and for the first time in his life he felt so conflicted...

No, what are you doing?

I originally just wanted to give you a brain-blow, but now you're acting like a pushover, and I'm embarrassed to back down, you know?
Want to go?
Are you a bit of a beast when you're so impatient before the relationship is even confirmed?
Not going up?
They are already prepared, so wouldn't it be disappointing to them mentally?

You are worse than beasts.

You don’t even do this, you damn eunuch!

Damn, he never thought that one day he would have to face such an extremely difficult choice.

Chu Ze was very confused, but after a while he suddenly understood...

No, I'm an adult!
What multiple choice questions to do!
Never mind, just go!
Xia Anruo waited for a long time with her eyes closed under Chu Ze, and found that he had not moved. Just as she was about to open her eyes carefully, she suddenly felt heat on her lips. The soft touch was like a dragonfly touching the water, but it was also like an electric shock. The tingling feeling instantly spread throughout her body.

Xia Anruo's mind went blank for a moment. Although she was prepared, she obviously did not expect Chu Ze to actually do this.

Before I could think about anything and recover from the shock of being kissed, I heard a crisp sound of "pa".

"Ouch."

She felt a pain on her forehead, as if someone had flicked her finger.

Xia Anruo opened her eyes suddenly in shock, just in time to see Chu Ze retracting his fingers.

?

"You hit me?!" Xia Anruo's face was full of disbelief, she couldn't believe what he had done.

"No." Chu Ze denied it flatly.

"Then what did you do just now?" Xia Anruo sat up and asked angrily.

"I kissed you on the lips." Chu Ze glanced at Xia Anruo's rosy lips and said something very shameless in an extremely calm manner.

"You hit my head too!" Xia Anruo was furious.

"..."

Is this what you focus on?

Shouldn't you be more concerned about the fact that your first kiss was taken away from you?
First kiss, do you know how valuable it is?

Wait, is this Xia Anruo’s first kiss?

Chu Ze didn’t know, but it was his first kiss anyway.

The first kiss in two lifetimes is so precious.

Damn, why does it sound so sad?

"Don't blame me. It's mainly because my mother told me that giving a slap in the face followed by a sweet date can win people's hearts more." Chu Ze said nonsense seriously.

"..."

So this is why you give someone a headache after you kiss them?

No, are you sick?

Is this how you use the saying "give a sweet date after a slap in the face"?
You got the order wrong!
Zero points, go back and do it again!

"Did your mother tell you to use this kind of thing?" Xia Anruo had a frown on his forehead.

"I think my mother is right." Chu Ze pretended to be stupid.

"That's right, right?" Xia Anruo's mouth twitched, she laughed out of anger and hooked her finger at Chu Ze.

"What do you want to do?"

As soon as Chu Ze saw her expression, he knew that something bad would happen if he got close to her, so he moved his butt a little further to the side without saying a word.

Always keep a safe distance between cars; this is the secret for experienced drivers to avoid overturning their cars.

"come here."

"I do not."

"I won't hit you."

"That's not the case either."

"Can't you make it?"

"I won't..."

Before Chu Ze finished saying "no", Xia Anruo's snow-white hand reached out at lightning speed, grabbed his collar and pulled him over.

Chu Ze thought he was going to be beaten and was about to resist, but the next moment he felt a faint fragrance coming from his nose and a soft, jade-like touch on his mouth, which made Chu Ze's heart flutter.

Damn it, what's going on?
Xia Anruo is kissing herself?
Why reward him?

Before Chu Ze had time to figure out the problem and feel it carefully, he suddenly heard the sound of wind in his ears.

Chu Ze's "failed" sense detected the danger, but he was too late to react...

Immediately afterwards, he felt a set of palm techniques descending from the sky on the top of his head.

If the sound of Chu Ze's head exploding just now was a crisp sound.

Now this set of palm techniques is...

boom!
hum hum hum!
A muffled sound echoed in the room, making Chu Ze's head buzz.

He almost foamed at the mouth and passed out.

Even from a God’s perspective, one can probably see a wisp of residual soul floating away from Chu Ze’s head.

"You said you wouldn't hit me, why did you hit me again?" Chu Ze covered his head with his hands, grimacing. This slap almost killed him.

"I also think what your mother said makes sense." Xia Anruo said with a laugh.

"..."

What's the use of the world? Give him a taste of his own medicine.

You are awesome.

"Ahem, it's almost ten o'clock and the show has already started. Let's go up and watch the show."

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Chu Ze got up dejectedly and went upstairs first.

Xia Anruo stared blankly at Chu Ze's back as he went upstairs. Only then did she come to her senses and touched her rosy lips with her small hand. The remaining touch on her lips made her heart tremble.

She, what did she just do?
Not only was he kissed, but he actually kissed her back!

what--!
No, the more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel. My toes are digging into the ground.

Impulsive.

What am I doing!

Xia Anruo covered her face and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

I'm too embarrassed to see anyone, so I'll just let it go.

"Are you a human? Why don't you come up?"

After a long while, Chu Ze's urging voice came from upstairs.

Forget it, Chu Ze called her, so let’s talk about it later.

Xia Anruo patted her cheeks with both hands, took a long breath, went to the bathroom to wash her face before calming herself down and going upstairs.

Chu Ze was already sitting in front of the computer at this time. When he saw Xia Anruo finally came over, he clicked on the full screen video.

"Why is it so slow?" Chu Ze glanced at Xia Anruo.

"I washed my face." Xia Anruo said.

"Have you washed your face? Did you wash it with boiling water? Why is your face so red?" Chu Ze saw that the blush on her face had not faded at all, which made her look quite charming.

"What do you care about me?" After hearing what Chu Ze said, Xia Anruo's face turned even redder.

"Tsk tsk, you were the one who forced a kiss on me just now, and I didn't even blush, but you did." Chu Ze couldn't help but teased.

He hadn't expected Xia Anruo to be so proactive, and he was almost stunned...

Oh no, it’s not almost, I was really confused.

After all, the set of Tathagata Palm that follows right after it will stun you even if you are hit by it!
It was really cruel. He still had some tinnitus. "It was you who kissed me first. You are molesting me. I will call the police and have you arrested." Xia Anruo said viciously.

"Oh, then you call." Chu Ze handed her his cell phone.

Seeing this, Xia Anruo took the phone without hesitation: "What's the 110 number?"

"120." Chu Ze kindly reminded.

"Go to hell, are you kidding me?" Xia Anruo gave him a thumbs up.

"You're not stupid, are you? Why are you asking me?" Chu Ze laughed.

Xia Anruo threw the phone back to him angrily, then sat down on the chair with her arms around her chest and ignored him.

"Hey, let me ask you something." Chu Ze came closer again.

"What's the matter?" Xia Anruo said in a bad tone.

"Was that your first kiss just now?" Chu Ze asked after a moment of hesitation.

"No." Xia Anruo said in a cold tone.

"Oh." Chu Ze's expression froze and he felt a little lost.

"The time just now was it." Xia Anruo added expressionlessly upon seeing this.

Chu Ze was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then finally realized what she meant.

The kiss Xia Anruo gave him just now was not their first kiss; the kiss he gave her just now was their first kiss.

Chu Ze's lost mood suddenly disappeared.

Ah! Good! I won!
It’s the first time!
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Anruo saw Chu Ze suddenly grinning and suspected that he was hysterical.

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy." Chu Ze couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"You took my first kiss away from me for no reason and you still have the nerve to laugh?" Xia Anruo said shyly.

"Then I'll be responsible."

"How to be responsible?"

"How about being your boyfriend?" Chu Ze thought this was a good idea.

"That's a nice thought, but you haven't done what you promised yet." Xia Anruo curled her lips.

"It's only a matter of time, so just consider it as an advance payment." Chu Ze waved his hand.

"Are you so confident?"

“That’s how confident I am.”

……

After a while, the two finally remembered the main topic. They came to watch the variety show, not to flirt.

Chu Ze moved the mouse, clicked on the video, and the familiar opening music sounded.

After the cutscene, Su Qing appeared in the backstage in her gorgeous outfit:
"Welcome to watch the third season of "Who is the King of Singers" exclusively sponsored by 'Liyi Milk'. Nice to see you again. I am your host Su Qing."

The program begins with the usual interview session with each singer in turn, mainly reviewing their performance in the previous episode and talking about what preparations they have made for this episode.

The first shot was for Cui Yongyan: "When my friends heard that I was going to be on this show, they all told me that I would be fine. Even if I couldn't win the championship, I would still be able to get into the top three. But after the last episode, I found that things seemed a bit uncertain. What kind of monsters are the people invited by the program team? Forget about Sister Youxi, but even a young singer like An Ruo performed so well. I miscalculated."

"So what strategy does Teacher Cui have for the next game?" Su Qing asked.

"We can only play it safe. Being able to stay one more period is a victory," said Cui Yongyan.

After the interview with Cui Yongyan, the next one was Lin Youxi: "After the last episode, to be honest, I was really stressed. I thought we were here just to have some fun and exchange ideas, but I found out that everyone was really serious. If you don't show your true abilities, you could be eliminated at any time, which would be embarrassing."

Then it was Cai Wei: "I have to go all out this time. I just hope I can have better luck and not be drawn into the death group."

In the picture, singers are interviewed one by one.

Chu Ze turned to Xia Anruo and said, "You eliminated someone last time. Will you bring in a new singer this time?"

The rule of "Who is the King of Singers" is to eliminate the last-place contestant in each episode, and then replace him with a new contestant in the next episode, and then reshuffle and continue the competition.

It’s a way to keep the show fresh.

After all, if the same few contestants compete in every episode, the audience will easily get tired of the show.

"Yes, it should be introduced at the end." Xia Anruo nodded.

"Who is it? Give me a spoiler." Chu Ze asked curiously.

"You didn't know me even though I told you, so why are you giving me a spoiler?" Xia Anruo glanced at him.

"..."

When Su Qing interviewed Xia Anruo, comments started pouring out like snowflakes:

"Finally I see An Ruo again!"

"Goddess I love you!"

"So beautiful, it turns out that beauty is pleasing to the eyes."

"I suggest that the program team invite more beautiful singers in the future. It doesn't matter if they have good singing skills or not. The main purpose is to give some benefits to the brothers."

In the program, Su Qing has already interviewed Xia Anruo: "Teacher Anruo's performance in the last episode can be said to have astonished everyone. All the teachers said that you brought them a lot of pressure. What do you think?"

"Teachers are too modest. It's better to say that I'm the one under the most pressure. After all, I'm the youngest and inexperienced. How can I be a match for the teachers in terms of brute strength? I can only resort to tricks. I hope the teachers won't blame me." Xia Anruo clasped his hands together and smiled modestly at the camera.

"So will Teacher An Ruo bring us new original songs this time?" Su Qing asked the question that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

"Well, isn't it good to have a bit of mystery about this kind of thing?" Xia Anruo smiled mysteriously.

"Haha, Teacher An Ruo is still keeping us in suspense. It seems we can only wait and see." Su Qing was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions. "In that case, can I ask you another question?"

"Okay." Xia Anruo nodded.

"I don't know if Teacher An Ruo has paid attention to this. Since the first episode was aired, many friends online have been guessing the identity of your songwriter Tu Dou, but no one has guessed it yet. So many people have asked me to ask you if you can reveal a little information about this Tu Dou?"

"Well..." Xia Anruo obviously hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. "Actually, he himself doesn't want to be exposed in front of the public, so I can't tell you the details. I can only tell you that he is actually a newcomer, not a senior celebrity in the songwriting industry as everyone guessed."

"Newcomer?" Su Qing was obviously surprised. "Can a newcomer write so many excellent songs?"

The barrage was also going crazy at this time:

"Newbie?"

"WTF? Are you kidding me?"

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Who are you trying to fool? Which new artist writes every song that's a masterpiece?"

"The kind of new guy who graduated one year ago and has twenty years of work experience?"

"I'm familiar with this. I read online articles and saw those old eunuchs opening a small account and claiming every day that they are new."

“The ones who call out to newbies are usually big shots.”

"A newcomer can write so many excellent songs? You think you are writing online articles? Reborn people have a system, right?"

Chu Ze looked at the last comment and started sweating.

Oh my goodness, the prophet is here!
You know too much, kid.

"He is probably a gifted person. He is talented in writing songs. He is one of those people who was gifted by God." Xia Anruo pointed at his chin with his index finger and thought for a while.

"Since he is so talented, why doesn't he take this opportunity to let more people know him?"

"Maybe because he is more... uh, Buddhist?" Xia Anruo thought for a long time before coming up with a suitable adjective.

Chu Ze turned around and asked when he heard this: "Did you originally want to call me a lazy dog?"

"It's good that you know it. I'll give you some face outside." Xia Anruo thought that you are quite self-aware.

Clear self-awareness.

But why did Chu Ze hear these words sound like an old married couple?
Give your husband some face outside.

When I get home, I'm back to the mountains of Shu.

Su Qing realized that she couldn't ask anything else, so she ended the interview after chatting casually for a few more words and walked towards the room of the last singer.
