The date was set against a backdrop of a country flower field and a small wooden house. The two men, both of good looks, sat across a white table from the wooden house, one sipping tea with his eyes lowered, while the other stared at him.

The picture is beautiful.

[Beauty and Handsome Guys Collector: This season's dating variety show features only beautiful women and handsome men, it's hard to keep up!]

[It's obvious that Huai Shangqiu has no interest in the mist.]

[I hope that after this date, Manwu Baby can completely relax.]

[Don't make it sound like Manwu is madly in love with Huai Shangqiu [speechless], it's only the second episode, and Manwu only has a better impression of Huai Shangqiu than the other male guests [speechless]]

Are they trying to decide who drinks more tea and who goes to the bathroom first? [Thinking]

After a long while, Man Wu spoke: "Qiu, is this date surprising to you?"

Huai Shangqiu put down his teacup and looked at the girl opposite him, his eyes and brows showing a hint of alienation: "Unexpected."

Man Wu smiled: "Yeah, we haven't talked much?"

"For this date, the official seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter. I like spring the most. The dead trees come back to life, the spring sun is bright and beautiful, very warm and beautiful."

Huai Shangqiu listened quietly without saying anything until Man Wu asked him, "If it were you, which one would you choose?"

"If you ask me, I would choose autumn."

"Ah, why?"

"Because autumn is a season of abundant harvest."

[It can be seen that the two have different values: one is more romantic, the other is more practical.]

[I feel like Huai Shangqiu is a businessman, so he likes the harvest season in autumn.]

Huai Shangqiu is also quite romantic, but his romantic partner is not Manwu.

[So that's the reason. I thought he liked autumn because his ID had "Autumn" in it [Thinking]]

"Like this..." Manwu felt a little disappointed. Perhaps, she and Qiu were not suitable for each other at all.

"Ms. Manwu." Huai Shangqiu's voice was gentle yet distant. "Society always expects young people to be fearless and resilient, but sometimes, giving up is also an option."

"The person you like may just be the one in your heart."

Oh my god, so direct! [Surprised me]

[In fact, from the incident of lighting the sky lantern, it can be seen that Huai Shangqiu is a person who is decisive and resolute. Whether this is a good thing or not is hard to say. It depends on the situation.]

[Manwu's bravery in exchange for a lifetime of introversion.]

"You can't say that. Huai Shangqiu clearly likes Shiqi, and he's very determined. If Huai Shangqiu doesn't reject her directly, it will only cause greater and more lasting damage to Manwu."

Manwu must have known that Huai Shangqiu liked Shiqi, but she still asked him out. She must have been prepared for rejection.

[At this stage, it is undeniable that Huai Shangqiu likes Shiqi, but whether it is firm or not remains to be seen.]

Manwu didn't expect Huai Shangqiu to reject her so directly, and she felt a little frustrated.

"Ms. Manwu, you don't have to deny yourself because of my rejection." Huai Shangqiu said, "You have your own excellent and beautiful side. Your shining points don't need to be discovered or accepted by anyone else to prove themselves."

“Everyone is born bright.”

[Wuwu Huai Shangqiu's words really moved me. Yes, no matter whether we are girls or boys, we are born to shine! ]

Man Wu pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "Qiu, do you know that when you say these words, it makes people more moved."

Huai Shangqiu smiled lightly: "These words are not exclusive to me, Miss Manwu, your world is very big, you can explore more, maybe, the one who belongs to you is not far away."

Who is Huai Shangqiu talking about? Did he figure out who likes Manwu? Why can't I figure it out? [Runny nose]]

[Oreki, that's right. When Oreki was choosing his teammates, he chose Manwu first, without a second thought.]

Man Wu laughed: "Huai Shangqiu, if I say these words to you, will you give up?"

What she asked was, under the same circumstances, would you give up Shiqi?

Huai Shangqiu: ...

Unexpectedly, yet understandably, Huai Shangqiu fell silent.

He sat there quietly, the breeze rippling his bangs, and ripples in his lake-blue pupils.

His silence has already made his attitude clear.

People are always generous when advising others, but once it comes to themselves, they become full of entanglement and struggle.

Of course, Huai Shangqiu did not hesitate or struggle. He only had one answer.

[Huai Shangqiu probably means not giving up.]

[I think it's still different. Huai Shangqiu has someone in his heart, so he persuaded Manwu to give up, but Shiqi doesn't. So far, it's unclear who Shiqi likes. Have you figured it out?]

[From my perspective, Shiqi hasn't entered the dating show phase yet. Is she just here for fun? [crying and laughing]]

Man Wu teased: "Look, you don't give up, and you still advise me to give up."

Huai Shangqiu: ...

"Oh, what a pity! My ideal type is gentle yet resolute. You fit the bill, but the object of your resoluteness is another girl." Man Wu smiled bitterly. "If you choose to give up, you won't fit my ideal type."

"Look at it this way, we are not destined to be together. We have the fate to know each other, but not the fate to love each other."

Ideal type?

Huai Shangqiu lowered his eyes in thought. His ideal type...actually, he himself didn't know.

But after encountering poetry, it became concrete.

If I have to summarize it in one point, it should be absolute self-affirmation.

In the first stage, as the person answering the question, Shi should trust him. However, although she said she trusted him, she actually believed in herself more than relying on others and had a strong confidence in her own abilities.

Most people admire the strong, and Huai Shangqiu is no exception.

Therefore, such poems fascinated him.

Manwu continued, "Actually, I'm not a very determined person. Due to some factors in my upbringing, I envy and admire those who can make firm choices."

【Hug Wubao~】

【Who doesn’t want to be firmly chosen? 】

[After watching this date, Man Wu and Huai Shangqiu are really not suitable. I feel that Man Wu's core is not stable enough. She herself said that it is difficult for her to be firm. I hope Man Wu can become stronger [thumbs-up]]

[Both are very good people. Don't be led astray by extreme fans!]

[Extremist fans are so abominable! I really hope a big shot comes down from the sky to clean up this terrible online environment!]

Man Wu: "It's good to talk about it. The date hasn't arrived yet, so why not take a look at the scenery? The flower fields chosen by the production team are quite beautiful."

Huai Shangqiu nodded: "Yeah."

In the end, the date ended with a friendly exchange.

After coming out of the date scene, Huai Shangqiu sat quietly on the sofa in the study, lowering his brows in thought.

If one day, Shiqi falls in love with someone else, will he give up?

Huai Shangqiu, who never gives up on his goal, felt confused for the first time.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Huai Shangqiu's thoughts.

"Come in."

The person who came was his confidant Fang Zhu.

"What's wrong?" Huai Shangqiu looked up at Fang Zhu when he saw him enter the room without saying a word. "What do you want to say?"

Fang Zhu hesitated to speak: "Master... the live broadcast of Miss Shiqi that you scheduled earlier has started, but it has ended..."
