After dumping the big boss, they went on a dating reality show together.

Qi An'an slept until after nine o'clock. Before starting the live broadcast, she jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

Yi Nanshan had already dressed up and was sitting on the sofa like a big dog, idly tossing a cushion around.

Fu Jiu... he was making the bed.

The moment the live stream started, the ocean view rooms attracted the most attention, drawing countless viewers.

Last night, "Dream Love" continued to dominate the trending searches, proving its immense popularity and even being hailed by netizens as the best dating variety show of the year, demonstrating its formidable competitiveness.

Qi An'an, who immediately shared a bed with two male guests, naturally stood out the most.

Furthermore, rumors about her have been rampant, attracting many haters, but also a considerable number of fans who ship her with her.

Whether it's Wen Qin, whom she had a brief date with, Yi Nanshan, who was indifferent to her, her generous ex-boyfriend Qi Shen, or Fu Jiu, who was gentle and kept her distance, netizens have paired them up with her.

What?! The guests are already up?!

【What else is worth watching?!】

Director Zhen, come out here, let's have a serious talk...

[Isn't this just the infamous "lights out" moment?! They even dare to promote this lousy dating show as "adult romance"? I'm not watching!]

Adult relationships aren't like this!! Protest!! When will we get to see the full episode?!

Fu Jiu is such a good homemaker; it seems like Liang Di is the only one who's truly compatible with him.

Today we'll reveal the identities and professions of our guests, but several of them have already been identified, so there's not much suspense.

It seems that, apart from Qi An'an, the others are all overseas returnee elites...

[No need to guess who Qi An'an is, she's an unemployed bum, hahaha, what a disgrace!]

[Can you please stop attacking my background? Qi An'an is just trying to make a living.]

In the bathroom, Xiao Hei remained silent.

Qi An'an knew that today's comments might not be very friendly, so she didn't ask, lest it affect her mood.

Influenced by her established persona, she felt a heavy weight in her heart after entering this place, as if she had many things on her mind, so she needed to block out the outside world.

Yi Nanshan put down the cushion and suddenly stared at Fu Jiu.

He noticed a crucial detail: "Wait, why are your pillows so close to Qi An'an's?"

He had only mentioned it casually, but Fu Jiu paused in his actions.

He pulled his pillow back to the center and asked calmly, "Is there?"

Yi Nanshan: "..."

No?

However, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, as soon as the alarm clock rang in the morning, Fu Jiu couldn't wait to get up and didn't want to spend even a minute longer with Qi An'an.

Eight guests gathered around the white table. Qi An'an and her two companions arrived late and found that everyone was sitting in the same seats as yesterday.

But she didn't follow the usual procedure; she took Yi Nanshan's seat first, right next to Fu Jiu.

Yi Nanshan looked at her speechlessly and could only sit down opposite Wen Qin.

He glared at Qi An'an with a resentful look in his eyes. He had originally wanted to sit with his goddess, but she had ruined it.

Qi An'an didn't even look at him.

"..." Yi Nanshan was even more depressed.

Everyone else maintained a polite smile, but their eyes held different expressions.

A single night can change a lot of things.

For example, Hu Yiyi has already given up on dealing with Qi Shen.

Lin Xiaoke didn't sleep well either. She dozed off with her chin in her hand, completely ignoring Qi An'an.

They're sleeping together, what can she possibly do about it?

[Qi An'an is still up to no good; did she do anything to Fu Jiu last night?!]

I feel like I've done it.

Sister, your words are ambiguous!

[This is what makes Qi An'an more fun! What's the point of excitement if she always sits in the same spot?]

[Yiyi is yawning. She didn't sleep well last night. Qi Shen slept on the sofa and didn't even touch her. Sigh... I don't know who I should feel sorry for.]

[Isn't Qi An sitting there because of Qi Shen across from him?]

[Ex-couple pairings are still the best to ship...]

So here's the question: Who is Fu Jiu's ex-boyfriend? Has no one found out yet?

Regarding Fu Jiu's ex-girlfriend, a blogger analyzed it last night. The most likely explanation is that he was joking with Yi Nanshan. Secondly, his ex-girlfriend might be Liang Di.

Liang Di's identity has already been exposed. She just returned from studying abroad and is a pipa (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) blogger who has been promoting traditional Chinese culture and has a considerable number of fans.

Moreover, she comes from a very prestigious family; her father is a real estate tycoon, and her mother runs a real estate agency.

Although Liang Di did not debut, the team behind her was recruited by her mother and is extremely good at management.

Therefore, no matter what inappropriate behavior Liang Di exhibits on the show that arouses dissatisfaction among netizens, it will be immediately dealt with through public relations.

She once revealed information about her ex-boyfriend on her Weibo account, and based on her description of his personality, it does match Fu Jiu's.

Breakfast was simple, but everyone ate with great relish, fearing that they might not have another meal after this one.

After all, the production team was too cunning.

Perhaps because she hadn't slept well, Qi An'an had a sore throat and dry eyes, and was constantly distracted.

After breakfast, the group moved to a spacious and cozy cabin, which was surprisingly a duplex with a balcony overlooking the sea, an elegant and quiet music room, a charming home theater, a bright library, a gym, and an open kitchen...

Clearly, the production team transformed this duplex suite into a living space that allows the guests to further engage with each other.

Qi An'an followed the others around, a look of longing in her eyes.

How wonderful it would be to own a cruise ship like that!

She discovered yesterday that there were many people on the first and second floors of the cruise ship, probably tourists, and the production crew had only booked specific locations for filming.

"Want it?" Qi Shen appeared beside her without her noticing. "Then why did you refuse when I offered to give you a cruise ship last time?"

After thinking it over all night, Qi Shen felt that his behavior yesterday was a bit too eager, so he kept telling himself that if she didn't take the initiative to talk to him, he wouldn't bother with her.

As a result, he forgot what he had said before noon even arrived.

Upon hearing Qi Shen's boastful words, everyone turned their attention to him.

"An'an, you want to buy a cruise ship?" Liang Di asked with a smile. "Remember to invite us to come!"

It's as if Qi An'an already owns a cruise ship.

Qi An readily agreed.

Despite it being completely unfounded, she spoke with certainty and maintained a composed and respectful attitude.

Qi Shen glanced at Liang Di, somewhat impatiently. Why was she everywhere?

He had no chance to speak with Qi An'an, but she ruined it all.

Liang Di noticed the disdain in his eyes and immediately put on a hurt expression. "Qi Shen, did I say something wrong?"

"I didn't say anything." Qi Shen was annoyed and quickly walked back to the living room.

He said nothing, yet he said everything.

Liang Di bit her lip, lowered her head timidly, and said to Qi An'an, "An'an, I'm sorry, I think I offended Qi Shen..."

Qi An'an: "..."

Before she could even speak, Yi Nanshan, that hothead, rushed over, scratched his platinum blonde hair, and nervously coaxed Liang Di, "Didi, it's not your fault, you didn't say anything."

Qi An'an slightly curled the corners of her mouth and said to Liang Di, "If you want to say something, just tell Qi Shen directly. It's not appropriate for me, his ex-girlfriend, to relay the message in between."

Liang Di: "..."

Yi Nanshan frowned. "Qi An'an, wasn't Didi implicated because of your affair with Qi Shen?"

Liang Di quickly grabbed him, "Hey, Nanshan, what are you doing? Speak properly. It was my fault to begin with. I shouldn't have spoken so quickly..."

"Ahem, it's nothing serious. Qi Shen didn't seem angry at all. Didi, don't overthink it." Hu Yiyi stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, and also pulled Qi An'an away.

Wen Qin, who remained silent, followed the two away like a polite spectator.

Fu Jiu lagged behind and suddenly said to Yi Nanshan, "Didn't you brush your teeth this morning?"

Yi Nanshan was taken aback. "Of course I swiped it!"

Fu Jiu left expressionlessly, saying, "Oh, I thought you didn't swipe."

Yi Nanshan: ?

You didn't swipe!

Liang Di was still holding onto Yi Nanshan's arm, looking weak and helpless. But when she saw everyone else leave, a look of annoyance appeared on her face, and she withdrew her hand.

His voice turned colder. "Let's go too."

Actually, her family valued Wen Qin more than Yi Nanshan.

But she felt that Qi Shen and Fu Jiu were both quite good.

Yi Nanshan is easy to handle, but the other three are not so easy.

Yi Nanshan watched her retreating figure, pursed his lips. He wasn't stupid; he could naturally sense the change in her tone.

But he quickly found a reason for her, and she must have felt terrible at that moment.

Eh...

He thought of Fu Jiu's words, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and breathed out a breath. It tasted like nothing.

[Yi Nanshan, you're blind! Can't you see Liang Di is a green tea b*tch?!]

[Who's spouting nonsense? Calling every woman a "green tea b*tch"? It's clearly Qi Shen who's too fierce!]

[Exactly! Qi Shen and Qi An'an's scandalous affair has become common knowledge, even dragging poor Didi into it!]

[The mountain couple is the sweetest; Yi Nanshan can't bear to see his wife lose her pearls~]

[...Isn't the main point that Qi Shen sent Qi An'an a cruise ship?]

[Is Fu Jiu implying that Yi Nanshan has a foul mouth, haha? Is she implying that he speaks rudely?]

Is Fu Jiu helping Qi An'an?

[Laughing Rat, Yi Nanshan actually believed it!]

So, that was just a sweet moment between the Anjiu couple??

...

The hashtag #MountainCP# had just started trending when it was overshadowed by #AnJiuCP#.

However, not long after, Qi An'an's past scandals were brought up again.

One of the videos, which had low resolution, quickly spread across the entire internet.

Some netizens even went to the official website of "Dream Love" to criticize Qi An'an for her bad character and strongly demanded that she leave the show and withdraw from the recording!

——

"Her? Bullying a classmate? Are those people crazy? They spread all sorts of rumors!"

Zhen Li threw away the cigarette butt, her forehead furrowed, and looked at her assistant.

The assistant took a step back in fright. "Uh, that's what the internet says, and there's a video too... I'll send you the video now... Please calm down."

Zhen Li narrowed her long, narrow eyes. "Which eye of yours saw that I was angry?"

The assistant solemnly replied, "No, I didn't see a single eye."

Zhen Li: "..."

He didn't bother to argue and picked up his phone to watch videos.

In the video, Qi An'an is wearing a worn-out school uniform, her ponytail tied high, carrying a schoolbag in one hand, walking out of a bar... She should have been only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, looking quite young and even thinner than she is now. She has bruises on her face, as if she was injured in a fight.

Based on the video's background, netizens quickly conjured up a series of negative images of her: a bad student, a brawler, a chaotic private life, bullying classmates, etc., which naturally made them have a worse impression of her.

There was too much background noise in the video, so Zhen Li turned off the sound and watched it again.

The girl's skin was sickly pale, and her cheeks and nose were injured. She looked very tired, and her thin body moved like an old machine.

Her messy, tousled hair hung down, fluttering in the wind.

Her eyes were filled with disgust for the world, but if you looked closely, you could clearly see that she was sending out a distress signal to the world.

In his view, that was definitely not the expression a bully should have.

He initially planned to exploit the dramatic relationship between Qi An'an, Qi Shen, and Fu Jiu to gradually push the show to its peak popularity, so he conducted a relatively in-depth investigation and research on Qi An'an's background.

But now it seems that the information he has obtained is far from sufficient.

Zhen Li felt as if something heavy was weighing on his heart, or as if a hand was constantly scratching at it. Even after he turned off the video, those quiet and serene eyes kept appearing before his eyes.

He's definitely not a good person to have gotten to where he is today. He's taking money to appear on TV shows, so he's going to use her to the fullest extent.

He didn't care what the consequences would be for her.

However, he still called his older brother and asked him to look into Qi An'an's school days.

This way we can make better use of this...
