After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Married My Fiancée's Aunt

In your past life, you looked down on me. Now that I have been reborn, I have become your uncle.

On the day of the engagement banquet, his fiancée went missing.

Having just been reborn,...

Chapter 24 allows you to exchange dating partners.

Is there a segment in the show where they send text messages?

The director explained that a one-way arrow means a failed pairing, while a two-way arrow means a successful pairing.

The text messages that express affection are all sent from anonymous phone numbers, so the recipient won't know who it is and can only guess.

The content of the text message can be casual and does not necessarily have to express feelings.

The director was worried that Zhuang Yan would suffer in this regard, so he gave him an example to remind him.

There was a male guest who was indecisive and sent text messages to every female guest he was interested in, which led to him being cyberbullied and called a "player".

Zhuang Yan's original plan was that since no one liked it, he would send a thank-you text message to different people...

"I'll think about it carefully." He had to choose a one-way arrow, so the first one to be eliminated was Jiang Ning. Of the remaining two, it was Lu Yan and An Xinrong.

Lu Yan's attitude towards him was a bit strange. If she had chosen An Xinrong, given her attitude towards him, she would definitely not have sent him a text message.

The director asked, "Were you and Jiang Ning on good terms before?"

Zhuang Yan: "We've been friends since we were little, but we lost contact after we went to university."

What was your first reaction when you saw her?

"It's a surprise, I didn't expect her to participate in this kind of variety show..." Zhuang Yan paused, then quickly explained, "Director, I didn't mean to discriminate..."

"I understand, don't be nervous." The director didn't care. Not to mention Zhuang Yan, even he himself didn't expect Jiang Ning to take the initiative to contact him. Originally, the person he had chosen was a female artist from the same company as her.

Given the choice between an ordinary celebrity and a Best Actress, the answer is obvious. Moreover, this is Jiang Ning's first time participating in a variety show, and she can bring more value to the program.

Thinking of this, the director asked meaningfully, "Do you know why Jiang Ning came to participate in this variety show?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head, pretending to be clueless, and said, "I don't know, it's probably arranged by the company."

The director chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhuang Yan, I have high hopes for you, and I'm not the only one who thinks highly of you."

After the interview, Zhuang Yan was completely confused, feeling that the director's words had a hidden meaning.

Next, the director conducted individual interviews based on the order in which they woke up, with Lu Yan being the second one.

The director asked the same question: "Of all the people you meet for the first time, who do you feel a good impression of?"

"Zhuang Yan and I have met before. If you ask me who I have feelings for... I choose to keep it a secret. This is not a question that I necessarily have to answer."

"All right."

The third is Fang Chen, one of the male guests, who openly admitted to having feelings for An Xinrong.

What are your impressions of the other two female guests?

Fang Chen replied, "I've only seen Jiang Ning on TV. She's even prettier in person than on screen. My impression of her is still based on her movie. As for Lu Yan, she seems very distant. I don't have a deep enough impression of her, so I won't comment on her."

The fourth one to appear was Jiang Ning.

When asked by the director who he should send his heart signals to, he was left to decide.

She said, "I don't want to talk about it now. I just hope that my choice will be supported when the time comes. Also, I hope everyone will look at a person carefully and not rely on what others say. Think twice before making defamatory remarks."

This short sentence can reveal a whole range of information.

[Jiang Ning is talking about Zhuang Yan, right? She has feelings for Zhuang Yan; I noticed it yesterday.]

[It's almost as if it wasn't explicitly stated that it was Zhuang Yan.]

Zhuang Yan was a friend of hers before, so it's normal for her to say a few good words for her friend.

The fifth person to be interviewed was Ling Xuan.

"Who do I have a crush on? Jiang Ning, I guess. I'm a fan of hers."

This answer is standard and unremarkable.

The last one, An Xinrong, was still sleeping after everyone else had been interviewed individually, so the staff had to go up and wake her up.

An Xinrong is grumpy when she wakes up, and she held back in front of the camera, but she still showed a lack of cooperation during the individual interview.

"I don't have any good feelings towards him. How can I have any good feelings towards him on the first day of meeting him? Anyway, Zhuang Yan is the person I dislike the most... Who should I send a love text to? It's definitely not Zhuang Yan. I'll just pick one between Fang Chen and Ling Xuan."

Her straightforwardness is liked by some and disliked by others. Judging from the comments, there are more people who dislike her, saying that she is disrespectful.

After the individual interviews concluded, the director announced today's tasks during breakfast.

Help the villagers harvest rice; whoever completes the task first will receive an [Exchange Card].

The so-called "exchange card" can be used to exchange for future dating partners.

Is there a time limit for the task?

"Yes, it's stipulated to be three hours."

What happens if the mission isn't completed?

"Those who complete the task within the specified time will receive living expenses; those who do not complete it will not receive any."

The fact that the show's producers have to earn their living expenses by completing tasks has led many to believe they are being stingy.

They bought a lot of things yesterday, and their living expenses are running low. There are still many places in the village where they need to spend money, so they must earn this money.

After breakfast, the group set off for the rice paddies.

The sun is already out at nine o'clock, and the temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius, which isn't too hot. It will rise to 33 degrees Celsius by noon.

An Xinrong dawdles as she applies sunscreen. Even when doing farm work, she makes sure to have her makeup done so she looks beautiful on camera. This is a habit she retained from her time in the girl group.

In his past life, Zhuang Yan had grown vegetables and flowers, but he had only seen rice harvesting in short videos on his phone. It seemed simple, like mowing grass, but it was actually very difficult to do.

A group of high-achieving students went to work in the fields, but they couldn't adapt to the mud at all; their bodies felt hot and itchy.

Zhuang Yan studied diligently. He was highly focused and even more proactive. After listening, he began to operate. At first, he was not used to it, but he gradually found the pattern.

He absolutely must get this exchange card; if he doesn't want to date someone later, he can switch himself out.

Zhuang Yan thought he was fast enough when he heard rustling sounds behind him. He turned around and saw Lu Yan, who had caught up with him.

Her once fair and pretty face was now covered in mud, and her hair was studded with straw.

Her clothes were covered in mud; if I remember correctly, Lu Yan was a bit of a germaphobe.

But at this moment, Zhuang Yan didn't believe she had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Lu Yan gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening, her mind filled with only one thought: the "exchange card." This meant she could freely choose whoever she liked to date.

Besides Lu Yan, Jiang Ning also acted quickly.

Zhuang Yan glanced at it and then turned back to continue cutting rice.

Was Lu Yan working so hard for that "exchange card"? And for whom?

Thinking of this, he slowed down, and Lu Yan quickly caught up with him.

The director stipulated that the film should be completed in two hours, but Lu Yan only took one hour.

Upon reaching the finish line, she raised her sickle high and exclaimed, "Director, I'm done! I'm the first one!"

Everyone stopped and looked at her. A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Jiang Ning's eyes. She was still just a little short.

Lu Yan's beauty was proven yesterday, but today she is even more dazzling than yesterday. Even though she is covered in mud and filthy, it cannot hide her beauty.

Zhuang Yan was momentarily stunned. He was closest to Lu Yan and saw a smear of blood on her hand.

"Your hand is injured."
