“Hello, audience, you are now watching the live recording of the final episode of the reality show 《30 Days of Cohabitation Life》. On this sunny morning, the diligent little Ke has already woken up and bought breakfast, while the beauty—”
Qi Ke held the GoPro and slowly moved to Song Yushi’s bedside, giving her girlfriend’s sleeping face a close-up. The commentary continued: “while the beauty is still sleeping.”
Song Yushi wasn’t sleeping soundly and had woken up as soon as Qi Ke entered the room, but she kept her eyes closed. Finally unable to listen to her nonsense any longer, she opened her eyes, glanced at her, and greeted the camera, “Morning.” Her peripheral vision caught the mission card in Qi Ke’s hand, and she reached for it. “A mission this early?”
Qi Ke let out an “uh.” “Post-production will definitely add a text bubble for you: It’s already 9:30 AM!”
Song Yushi: “…”
Was it her fault she wanted to laze in bed when her girlfriend was here?
Song Yushi leaned against the headboard, opened the mission card, and gave it a quick read. “Fly a kite? Whoever flies it the longest wins the grand prize.” She looked at Qi Ke. “What’s the grand prize?”
Qi Ke: “…I think it’s a pair of rings.”
Song Yushi was very practical. “How big?”
Qi Ke looked at the camera to the side and asked, “Director, my Captain is asking how big your rings are.”
Production Team: “…”
Qi Ke let out an “ah,” and without waiting for an answer, she answered herself, “I heard they’re just diamond chips, not worth much.”
Song Yushi fell back onto the bed. “Then whoever wants to win can win.”
Production Team: “???”
Hey! Don’t look down on our poor production team! We’re on a tight budget year-round and have already done our best!
“Oh, right,” Qi Ke remembered something else. “Candy belongs to the production team. The show is about to end. If we don’t win, we have to give Candy back to them.”
Song Yushi sat up in a second.
She tucked her long hair behind her ear. “No, we have to take Candy home.”
Qi Ke wasn’t having it. She shook the GoPro. “Then I’m not going to try. Taking her to your home isn’t taking her to my home, so why should I bother?” She lay down on the bed. “You go for it.”
Song Yushi wanted to say, “my home is your home,” but with the camera on her, she had to swallow the words. She awkwardly coaxed Qi Ke, “When we get the prize, I’ll help you exchange the rings for ten-carat ones.”
Qi Ke’s eyes lit up. “You’ll give them to me?”
Song Yushi hesitated. “…I’ll give them to you.”
Qi Ke sat up in a second.
Production Team: “…”
Do you Sweet Day members have to be so fickle!!!
The kite-flying was scheduled for after breakfast. Each group ate at different times, so they went over on their own. The location wasn’t very far, near the sea, with the ocean, mountains, and trees.
The salty sea breeze brought a scorching heat, and the waves glittered under the sun.
The production team claimed to be short on funds, but they were quite generous, booking the entire seaside area to prevent too many fans from affecting the shoot. Chen Sheng was distractedly pulling the kite string, his eyes constantly glancing towards the entrance.
His teammate was much more serious, urgently studying how to fly a kite on Baidu.
After he finished studying, he confidently put his phone in his pocket, looked up, and followed Chen Sheng’s fixed gaze to see Song Yushi and Qi Ke walking in side by side, their bare feet stepping onto the soft sand, leaving a trail of footprints.
Jiang Jing was unhappy. “Stop shipping CPs. Can you just work hard and do your job properly? Can’t you look at me? I’m your official pairing!”
Chen Sheng glanced at him.
Official pairing? Does an official pairing not trust him? Heh.
Seeing the production team’s grand setup, Qi Ke whispered, “I feel like it’s definitely not as simple as just flying a kite.” She looked around. “Captain, want to make a bet?”
Song Yushi’s reflex was, “Bet what?”
After saying it, she wanted to cut off her own hands. How could she still be betting with Qi Ke?
Qi Ke had clearly thought of it too. Suppressing a laugh, she said, “Look at all the equipment the production team has. I guess they want us to fly kites and livestream at the same time. What do you think?”
Song Yushi silently glanced at her and answered irrelevantly, “We were in a group together before.”
Qi Ke tilted her head.
“As the Captain,” Song Yushi said with a straight face, “I don’t need to bet. I think you’re right.”
Follow PD: “…”
Is everyone in Sweet Day a sand sculpture?
Qi Ke laughed so hard she bent over, completely losing her composure. Finally, Song Yushi couldn’t take it anymore, pulled her into her arms, turned her back to the camera, and gave her a small, mournful look. “No more laughing.”
Qi Ke immediately stopped, her face tense. “Not laughing.”
“Captain…” she moved closer to Song Yushi, taking advantage of the noisy environment to flirt with her captain in public. “Actually, you could say, ‘I’m always on your side, whether you’re right or wrong.’”
The Captain thought for a moment, then hesitated. “If you’re wrong, I’ll still point it out.”
Qi Ke: “…”
Can’t you be a little romantic! Can’t you show a little favoritism!
Before she could get properly sulky, she saw a mischievous smile flash in Song Yushi’s eyes, like a successful prank, a small bit of pride about to spill out. Qi Ke was stunned for a moment, then realized Song Yushi was deliberately teasing her. She reached out to grab Song Yushi’s waist. Caught off guard, Song Yushi fell onto the soft sand.
From a distance, the fans on the beach could be seen with their binoculars, tut-tutting.
“The little couple really isn’t avoiding the camera at all. I want to condemn this behavior of being in a relationship at public expense, hehehe. Show Mommy more, Mommy isn’t afraid of being overwhelmed by sweetness!”
“Have a picture of Qi Yu doing it.”
“Song Yushi! Counter-attack! Pin Qi Ke down!”
“So bold!”
Just as Qi Ke had thought, the production team’s grand setup was a collaboration with a certain livestream platform for a real-time broadcast of the kite-flying competition. Three CPs, three livestream rooms, each CP with their own perspective, filmed by drones throughout, engaging the entire nation and generating plenty of buzz.
Qi Ke: “…I don’t know how to fly a kite.”
Song Yushi rolled up her non-existent sleeves and took the kite from a staff member. “I do.”
The kite was a traditional swallow shape, with large, spread wings, so vivid it looked like it could dive into the boundless clouds of the azure sky at any moment.
Qi Ke asked the production team for a camera to give a real-time hype commentary for her captain.
“The Captain is starting to let out the line. How can someone look so good just letting out a line? This waistline, this posture, this reckless—the Captain is starting to run!”
“As everyone knows, our Sweet Day’s Captain Song Yushi is an all-rounder ACE, she can do anything, number one in awesomeness. I’m not just bragging, you can go and look up Sweet Day’s group variety shows. Our Captain can sing on a Ferris wheel and take pictures while diving. She can write lyrics, and dance Hiphop, locking, classical, and contemporary. Her high notes go up, her low notes come down, she can play the piano, she can play the flute…”
The fans who were only watching Qi Ke’s perspective: “…”
Stop fucking hyping her! Turn around and see what your all-rounder Captain is doing!
After a friendly reminder from the livestream audience, Qi Ke turned to look at Song Yushi. She saw Song Yushi standing behind her, her innocent gaze moist, making one feel pity just by looking at her. She didn’t even have to speak, and any mistake would be forgiven. Except—
Livestream audience: All-rounder Captain! The production team asked you to fly the kite, not to let the kite fly away!
The string of the kite in Song Yushi’s hand had broken, and it was drifting into the distance.
Qi Ke: …?
Her all-rounder Captain?
Song Yushi was quick to admit her mistake. “It’s all my fault.” She lowered her eyes. “I ran too fast, and I was running against the wind. I probably accidentally scraped it against a drone.”
So pitiful, so obedient.
Livestream audience: No! It’s not your fault! How could it be your fault! If anyone’s to blame, it’s the production team. What kind of shoddy kite string did they use that breaks so easily? And why was the drone following so closely during the kite-flying? It’s hindering our great beauty from winning the grand prize! Trash production team! The production team is dead.
Qi Ke’s inner thoughts were in agreement with the bullet comments.
Her gaze followed the kite as it drifted. Fortunately, the kite wasn’t blowing towards the sea, but into the woods on a nearby slope, getting caught high up on a branch.
Qi Ke breathed a sigh of relief. She turned back and smiled at Song Yushi. “It didn’t land far, let’s go get it.”
The production team quickly stopped Qi Ke, saying they could go buy another one, and it wouldn’t take long. Qi Ke disagreed. “How long will it take you to go back and forth? How am I supposed to win the championship then?”
She took Song Yushi’s hand. “Let’s go, baby, I’m going to take you to get back everything that belongs to you!”
Livestream bullet comments: …
You can actually say such a chuunibyou line?
Five minutes later, Song Yushi and Qi Ke stood under the tree, looking up at the sky, speechless.
Livestream room.
【Hahahahahaha, come on, get back everything that belongs to your baby!】
【Damn, I’m dying of laughter! A dumb couple, it must be a dumb couple! Quick, screenshot this moment, Qi Yu’s expressions are hilarious.】
【But this kite is really high. What’s the prize? Is it very good? If not, can we just not get it?】
【??? Qi Ke is climbing the tree?】
【I’ve been a fan of Qi Ke for so many years, our beautiful young miss can actually climb a tree? How did I not know about this skill? Damn, is my daughter really a top?】
【Fuck! She! Climbed! Up!】
“Captain!” Qi Ke held onto the tree trunk, her other hand picking up the kite and shaking it. The black swallow with its long wings swayed in the gaps between the leaves.
In the light and shadow of the trees, the leaves rustled.
The tree wasn’t very high, and the trunk was thick. Qi Ke was wearing pants, which made it easy to climb, but she was wearing shorts, so she was bound to get some scratches. Song Yushi’s heart ached watching her. Seeing her so smug, she shot her a glare. “Hurry up and come down.”
Qi Ke was obedient. “Coming, coming.”
As she spoke, she carefully climbed down. When she reached the last branch, she squatted down and called out to Song Yushi, “Yushi—”
Song Yushi had been staring at her. Hearing her sudden call, her heart clenched. “Come down first.”
But Qi Ke shook her head.
Song Yushi was stunned for a moment. “What’s wrong?”
Qi Ke looked at her, into her eyes, passing the smile in her own to her. “I just saw the sky from up there, it’s so beautiful, just like what we saw in Iceland. I suddenly want to go to Iceland.”
Song Yushi seemed to know what she wanted to say. Her heart suddenly relaxed, and she smiled. “I’ll go with you.”
“And I want to eat a lot of cotton candy.”
“I’ll buy it for you.”
“We’re definitely not going to win the championship, what about the rings?”
“I’ll give them to you.”
“When this show is over, we won’t be able to live together anymore, what should we do?”
“…What do you think we should do?”
The camera was filming them brightly, every word they said was clearly broadcast in the livestream room. The bustling sound of the wind seemed to disappear in an instant, and she and Qi Ke were wrapped in a giant bubble.
Only their hearts were pounding.
It wasn’t planned, it was a spur-of-the-moment show of affection, wanting to, in the livestream room, in front of so many people, without any need for speculation, declare her sovereignty.
She thought, and so did Qi Ke.
After who knows how long, she heard Qi Ke open her mouth, “Let’s buy the apartments above and below your place, knock them through, and make a three-story little villa.”
Song Yushi’s eyebrow raised slightly, and she smiled, “Okay.”
She looked up, the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting mottled light on her face, dazzling and beautiful. Her tone was coaxing, “I’ve agreed to everything you said, can you come down now?”
Qi Ke was still not at ease. “Will you catch me?”
Song Yushi opened her arms.
Qi Ke leaped,扑 into Song Yushi’s arms. Before anyone could react, she hugged her and rolled onto the grass nearby, pressing on top of Song Yushi and looking at her quietly.
The drone camera faithfully followed.
Livestream room.
【A passerby, I heard the news and came. I was a bit confused from five minutes ago. Are you girls all this clingy with each other? This this this is a livestream, is this something that can be broadcast?】
【A passerby can’t understand, do you think I, a CP fan, can?】
【CP fans, stop pretending you don’t understand. This scene is clearly enough to make you ship them to the ends of the universe! It’s me, a solo stan, who’s completely dumbfounded, okay? What is this!】
【I thought hugging on the beach was the most explosive scene I’d ever seen in my life. I never expected it, I never expected it.】
The voices from the livestream room couldn’t reach reality.
The freely growing wild grass pricked her back through the thin fabric. Song Yushi lay on her back, looking back at Qi Ke. Affection flowed between their gazes, so full it was about to spill out.
The director’s frantic voice came through the earpiece: “Teacher Qi! Teacher Song! Hold on!”
Qi Ke came back to her senses and was about to get up. “Captain—”
But her voice was cut short.
Song Yushi grabbed her wrist with a slight force, making her press down. Their thin lips turned hot in the collision.
A direct, passionate, and unabashed kiss.
Livestream audience: !!!
【I|Fuck!!!!】
【@#*&……%￥#@！*&^%$#@Q】

@DidQiKeAndSongYushiMeetToday: Replying to the invitation, they’re dating.
And at that moment, in the passionate summer, Qi Ke ran in the salty sea breeze, holding the kite string, and in the eyes of thousands, ran towards Song Yushi.
Fervent, bright, dazzling, like the day they first met at eighteen.
She appeared abruptly in her world.
She knew.
She would love her forever.
