CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 68: END OF THE VARIETY SHOW, VISIT FROM THE IRON-EATING BEAST

Du Xixi and Ke Lian saw that Chen Zhichen laughed even more unrestrainedly than before, and they found the brothers Chen Zhichen and Chen Zhiqing amusing. The younger brother acted the ’fool’, and the older brother laughed so ’heartlessly’—only a good relationship would allow for such behavior.

With Ke Lian accompanying her for a nap, Du Xixi slept longer than usual. It was now past four o’clock, and soon it would be time for dinner.

Seeing Du Xixi and Ke Lian sitting on the sofa, Lin Jie still had a smile on her face as she pointed to a medium-sized box on the coffee table and said, "This was delivered by your household robot butler. It didn’t disturb you since it saw you were both asleep."

Du Xixi and Ke Lian then remembered that Ke Lian had previously sent a message to 2569 to bring some snacks over, but the couple, being cozy in the room, had completely forgotten about 2569.

Feeling apologetic toward 2569, who should have gone home to accompany Miao Miao by now, Ke Lian looked normal on the surface and opened the box, handing it to Du Xixi.

Since these were homemade, there was no special packaging, just sealed tightly with paper. Du Xixi picked one up, feeling as if it was just freshly made.

These were familiar snacks at home for Du Xixi and Ke Lian, so they were nothing special to the couple. However, Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie were seeing these delicate snacks for the first time, and the pair’s eyes were glued to the fruit and meat jerky.

"Homemade snacks, Sister Lin and brother-in-law, give them a try. If you like them, just tell me in the future." Du Xixi smiled and had Ke Lian send some over to Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie.

With not much to do right now, Du Xixi could probably make plenty of snacks in a day back home. Offering them some snacks wasn’t a big deal for Du Xixi.

Moreover, Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie were genuinely kind people, respecting and approaching Du Xixi and Ke Lian without any flattery, which made Du Xixi feel very comfortable.

This genuine friendliness made Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie feel comfortable too. Noticing that, although Ke Lian appeared indifferent, he politely placed nearly half of the new snacks in front of them, Chen Zhichen felt a bit embarrassed and waved his hand: "That’s enough, that’s enough! Marshal, you’re giving too much!"

Lin Jie echoed, "Yes, just a taste for us is sufficient."

Saying so, Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie were about to return most of the snacks given to them to Du Xixi and Ke Lian, seemingly reluctant to eat so much as if they were taking advantage.

Before Du Xixi could say anything, Ke Lian already held the box and said plainly, "We’re all friends, no need to be so polite."

Du Xixi’s tone was gentle, exuding warmth and friendliness. While Ke Lian didn’t deliberately impose on them, his calm demeanor was enough to make Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie hesitant to argue.

Under Ke Lian’s somewhat ’intimidating’ gaze, the two retracted the snacks they had started to push midway back in front of themselves. Seeing this, Ke Lian nodded, and Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief, bowing slightly.

Unfortunately, Du Xixi, busy opening a pack of dried fruit, only heard their conversation without noticing anything else. So, when she looked up, she saw Ke Lian smiling at her, and Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie happily holding their snacks.

Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie, looking very happy: ...:)

’We Are Husband and Wife’ mainly showcases the daily interactions between amateur couples. Though previous seasons perhaps had drama, this season was pleasantly uneventful.

The reason is simple.

Du Xixi and Ke Lian, Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie, both couples have amiable personalities. Even if Ke Lian doesn’t say a word, sitting on the sofa seemingly always exuding coolness, as long as Du Xixi is by his side, Ke Lian transforms into a good husband and father.

The two couples have different interaction styles. Whether it’s the ’old couple’ dynamics of Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie or the ’intimately close’ interactions of Du Xixi and Ke Lian, both are favored by audiences.

Although the three-day, two-night livestream has ended, its aftermath continues to stir the Star Network—rumors about Du Xixi and Ke Lian have been clarified, and confirmations were made where necessary.
