Wen Chi was getting ready to join a romance reality show. His randomly assigned partner? Jiang Siheng—the movie emperor who debuted at the top of the industry.

His manager cheerfully broke the news to him. Wen Chi’s reaction was to collapse on the couch with a deadpan face: “So thrilled.”

A few seconds later, his phone’s robotic voice chimed in: “Damn, time to work again :)”

Thinking of the breach-of-contract penalty, Wen Chi slung on his little backpack and tearfully left home to brave the journey ahead.

The other contestants on the show? Internet-famous starlets more popular than he, filthy rich CEOs, game streamers with more fans…

No way to win. So whatever.

While everyone else showed up dressed like flamboyant peacocks, Wen Chi rocked a loose T-shirt, oversized shorts, slippers, and a mini water bottle hanging around his neck—he looked exactly like a kindergartener on a class trip.

At first, the producers were worried Jiang Siheng wouldn’t be interested in Wen Chi, and that the two might lack chemistry on screen. But they quickly realized they’d overthought it.

During game segments, other couples worked together to complete tasks. As for the HengWen1 CP, Jiang Siheng did every single task himself under the blazing sun, while Wen Chi sat comfortably in the shade, wearing a bucket hat while hugging his water bottle, gently patting his hands to cheer Jiang Siheng on.

New viewers: Why is Wen Chi just sitting under the tree doing nothing? I can’t with this. Poor Jiang Siheng.

Viewers who watched the entire stream: It’s not that Wen Chi won’t move—it’s that Jiang Siheng absolutely refuses to let him get even a little sun.

Jiang Siheng spoiled Wen Chi so much, it made everyone else look away… but honestly, it was so good to ship!!

After the show ended, fans thought that was it for the HengWen CP, and cried their eyes out.

Until one day, during a red carpet livestream, Jiang Siheng’s nanny van pulled up outside. Fans who’d been waiting forever excitedly turned to look.

The man got out—but instead of heading towards the red carpet, he leaned slightly into the van and started talking to someone inside.

Fans wondered who it could be—who could get Jiang Siheng to speak so gently?

Then, a familiar salted fish slowly shuffled out of the van—none other than Wen Chi, obediently holding Jiang Siheng’s hand.

The closest fans overheard their conversation.

“Jiang Siheng, I’m so tired…”

“There, there. We’ll go home right after we get the award.”

“This is all your fault. I told you not to do it so many times. My back is killing me.”

“Mm, I won’t next time. You were amazing, baby.”

Fans: …Is there something going on here that we’re not supposed to know about?
