Chapter 364: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Seeing Yun Qing's guilty and distressed expression, He Chengyi quickly stopped, patted her head and coaxed, "I only like you the way you are, and I'll still like you when we're old."
Yun Qing lightly kicked him with her toe and said irritably, "Can't you just not mention the word 'old'?"
He Chengyi wrapped her drooping legs back around his waist, then picked her up and carried her to the sofa, saying, "What are you afraid of? I'm older than you, and I'll always be older than you."
Yun Qing wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him, then nodded after thinking for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
If He Chengyi dares to dislike her, she can justifiably dislike him back.
He Chengyi sat down on the sofa with her in his arms and chuckled, "Now you know the advantages of having a boyfriend who's older than you, right? Can a younger guy be older than you?"
Yun Qing: ...Why does this sound a little strange?
However, she didn't hesitate to coax him, "No matter how old or young, no one can compare to you. Look at you, you're handsome, have a great physique, are rich and powerful, have outstanding abilities, and are multi-talented..."
He Chengyi was quite pleased, his hand caressing her lower back. "Anything else?"
At this moment, Yunqing saw the snacks she liked on the coffee table and concluded, "You're perfect in every way."
Then I wanted to get the snacks off him.
He Chengyi hooked his arm around her and pulled her back into his embrace. He squinted at her and looked her up and down with a questioning expression. "You're good in every way? I feel like you like snacks more than me?"
"Who...who said that! I was just giving you something to eat!"
She nodded confidently as she spoke.
He Chengyi reached out and pinched the back of her neck, gave a soft hum, but didn't dwell on the snack issue.
Instead, she gestured with her chin toward the food cart and suddenly said, "I think your cucumber salad looks delicious. Can I have a piece?"
Yun Qing felt that these words sounded familiar. Before she could react, He Chengyi said in a low voice, somewhat disappointed, "Is it not okay? Then forget it, it's fine if I don't eat it."
Yun Qing was full of questions, but she couldn't bear to see him so disappointed. She reached out and patted his head, saying helplessly, "It's just a plate of cucumbers. Look how wronged you are."
She brought over the cucumber, picked up a piece, and fed it directly to herself.
He Chengyi, who was waiting for her to feed him: ...
Meeting his accusing gaze, Yun Qing quickly said, "Let me taste it for you first. If it tastes too bad, don't eat it."
"Hmm...it feels pretty good."
She said happily, "I think I do have some talent for cooking."
She then picked up a piece and fed it to He Chengyi.
He Chengyi nodded and said, "It's indeed very good."
Then he took the plate and chopsticks from her hand and said, "These are snacks for you."
Yun Qing instantly smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared, and hugged him tightly, showering him with kisses. "You're so good!"
Then she turned around and picked up the snacks.
He Chengyi stretched out his arms, but his arms were already empty.
He Chengyi: Ha...scumbag woman!
His gaze toward the snacks held a hint of bitterness and resentment, but seeing Yun Qing enjoying them, he began planning to buy even more.
Yun Qing ate some snacks, put two candies in her pocket, and said, "I'm going back now."
He Chengyi pulled her onto his lap, "Let me hug you one more time."
Yun Qing not only generously let him hug her, but also took the initiative to kiss him.
He Chengyi was even more reluctant to part with it.
Thinking about the next few days, when it would be difficult to get close to her during the day and he would have to spend the night alone in an empty room, he couldn't help but hold the back of her head and kiss her.
Yun Qing didn't know if it was because she particularly loved him or because she couldn't bear to part with him, but she indulged him so much that He Chengyi lost control.
Finally, Yun Qing froze in his arms, not daring to move, and murmured, "I'm just here to deliver food, I can't stay too long."
He Chengyi held her tightly, resting his forehead on her shoulder. After calming his breathing, he said in a hoarse voice, "Hmm... I know, I won't affect your career. A secret marriage is fine too."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
"What secret marriage?"
He Chengyi tightened his grip on her, slowly looked up at her, and asked, "You don't plan to marry me?"
Yun Qing said blankly, "We just got together..."
She was halfway through her sentence when she noticed that He Chengyi seemed a little down, so she quickly said, "Wait a minute, let me finish."
"We've only just started dating, and I haven't thought that far ahead yet. But if we're going to get married, why keep it a secret?"
He Chengyi sighed and said, "You're an artist. What if dating and marriage affect your career?"
Yun Qing suddenly realized, "So that's why you pretended not to recognize me when you saw me before?"
He Chengyi nodded, looking aggrieved.
After a moment of silence, Yun Qing said, "But I'm already mentally prepared for an official announcement."
He Chengyi: !!!
"Are you serious?"
Yun Qing poked his chest. "Would I lie to you? Am I such an irresponsible person? You're my proper boyfriend, why would I make you stay a secret lover forever?"
"But……"
Yun Qing waved her hand and said domineeringly, "No buts! You don't need to worry about these things, I will handle them."
To reassure He Chengyi, she explained to him, "I'm an actress, but not very famous, so I don't think there will be much of a problem if we go public with our relationship."
"Besides, my fans aren't that extreme; most of them are fans of my looks. Do you know what fans of my looks are? It's that good looks are everything!"
As she spoke, she cupped He Chengyi's face in her hands and said, "With a face like yours, they should be able to accept you easily."
"As for haters, there's no need to care at all. They'll criticize whatever I do anyway. Caring about what they say is just giving them face."
"Besides, I don't really care about becoming famous. Even if I really fade into obscurity and can't get any more roles, I'm not short of money. I can just put together my own crew and make some movies for fun!"
He Chengyi: "So that means we can make an official announcement anytime?"
Yun Qing nodded. "We're acting openly and honestly, what's there to be afraid of?"
Then He Chengyi pushed her into the sofa.
Yun Qing quickly reached out and pressed against his chest, "Wait! Being open and aboveboard doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, we're going to be live-streaming, I don't want to die from this!"
Upon hearing this, He Chengyi picked her up again, made her straddle his lap, stared straight at her, and said, "I won't do anything inappropriate, but you can."
Yun Qing swallowed hard, looking at his submissive attitude. "You said it yourself..."
Lin Xu glanced at the time and had no choice but to knock on the door. The landlady had been missing for too long during the live stream, which might cause controversy.
After knocking on the door, he stood outside, calm and collected, patiently waiting. He appeared composed and unperturbed, as if nothing could faze him.
The cameraman couldn't help but glance at him several times, thinking to himself, "No wonder he's a special assistant who can work alongside the head of the He family; he's clearly an elite."
He Chengyi tidied Yun Qing's clothes and hair and said, "There's no rush to make an official announcement. It's best to discuss it with your agent and take it step by step."
Yun Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
He Chengyi tried his best to restrain himself, but Yun Qing acted recklessly without any restraint. In the end, Yun Qing left without any apparent reason, but He Chengyi did not see her off.
He had a cushion on his lap and was sitting on the sofa with red eyes.
The tie was tossed aside, the shirt was only buttoned up with two buttons, the fabric was wrinkled, and his neck and chest were covered with hickeys, and even two shallow teeth marks.
He paused for a moment before raising his hand to start buttoning his shirt.
Lin Xu reminded the cameraman not to say anything he shouldn't, and after seeing the landlady off, he went into the room.
Because of the system, He Chengyi cannot be without someone by his side.
Lin Xu was very dutiful; he would only leave temporarily when Yun Qing was with He Chengyi.
Now that Yun Qing is gone, he naturally has to keep an eye on things.
Seeing that the proprietress acted as if nothing had happened, he initially thought that the two of them hadn't done anything inappropriate.
Once inside, they discovered that even though President He was dressed, he couldn't hide the fact that he had been thoroughly ravaged.
Lin Xu: ...You guys are playing so wildly?
He Chengyi glanced at it indifferently, his expression proud, "What are you looking at? Jealous because you don't have a wife?"
Lin Xu: ...Suddenly I think it's good that you continue to be misanthropic!
