Chapter 29 Ideal Type?

【Lin Muci & Gu Chaoyu】

【Zhou Yang & Su Wanqing】

Zhou Yang stared at Su Wanqing and said in a sly tone, "Don't you like playing? Sure, let's play together."

"Zhou Yang, are you crazy? Who wants to be in the same group with you?" Su Wanqing instantly got furious, and her voice rose several degrees.

[Crazy! He's absolutely crazy! What does he want? Team up with me? Is this a tacit understanding contest or a bickering contest?!]

[Why does he think I would agree? I won't!]

[But...if I don't participate, won't it seem like I'm afraid of him? No, the word "fear" doesn't exist in my dictionary, Su Wanqing!]

[Damn it! I actually… I actually wanted to see if we could even get along…]

Su Wanqing was struggling with her conscience, while Lin Muci on the other side was also very conflicted.

[A test of tacit understanding? Gu Chaoyu and I? I've been living with him like a cat for the past month. I know him like the back of my hand, but he knows nothing about me!]

What should I do?! I'll ask him what his favorite color is later. If I write white, will he think I'm a perverted stalker?

When I asked him what he hated most, I wrote cilantro. Would he suspect I was the roundworm in his stomach?

"Aaaaaaaah, I'm dying! If I deliberately give a wrong answer, will he think we have no chemistry? Is it too late for me to turn into a cat and hide now?!"

Just when Lin Muci was so nervous that he didn't know what to do, a warm big hand gently covered the back of his cold hand and patted it soothingly.

Gu Chaoyu leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice: "Don't be afraid, just follow your feelings. I believe in your intuition and the tacit understanding between us."

[He...he trusts my intuition? And also trusts the tacit understanding between us?]

[He means... let me write based on my feelings? ]

[In that case, I'll have to max out my tacit understanding! !]

Before Lin Muci's inner drama was over, the host on stage announced loudly, "Alright! Registration has closed! Now, please welcome the four pairs who have registered to compete to the stage!"

The spotlight suddenly shone down, covering their table.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the four of them had no choice but to go onto the stage.

The competition officially begins.

The host held up the cue cards and announced the rules for the first round: "Round one, mind-to-mind! We'll ask ten questions about each other's preferences. Please write down your answers on the answer board (both your own preferences and the preferences of your partner). Each correct answer will earn you ten points! Now, for the first question!"

The host cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Excuse me—what is the other person's ideal type?"

Lin Muci: [? ? ? 】

Ideal type?

[Gu Chaoyu's ideal type? ! ! ]

[How could I possibly know this?! I only know Gu Chaoyu's favorite colors, favorite fruits, and favorite movies, but the ultimate question of his ideal type...]

He nervously held the marker in his hand, his palms full of sweat, and secretly looked at Gu Chaoyu opposite him.

Gu Chaoyu was looking at him calmly with a smile on his face, as if this question was just a matter of "one plus one equals how many" to him.

"What's he laughing at?! Does he think I can't answer that?! Really? How could I possibly know that?! I'm just a cat that snuck into his house! How can a cat know what its owner's ideal type is?! I don't even know if he likes cats or dogs!"

The villain in Lin Muci's heart was already rolling on the ground, so anxious that he was about to explode.

What should I do? Just make something up? Say he likes gentle, intellectual types? Or lively and cute? What if I get it wrong? Wouldn't it seem like we have no chemistry at all?

Gu Chaoyu smiled even more deeply as he listened to the series of wails in his head.

[Calm down, Lin Muci, calm down! Think about it, what does Gu Chaoyu like? He likes quietness, reading, and drinking tea... So the type of person he likes must also be quiet and willing to read and drink tea with him, right?]

"No, no! He also likes to tease me (in cat form)! He's obviously having fun watching me jumping up and down! So he actually likes something more lively?"

[Ahhh! So, is it quiet or lively?!]

[Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! I'll just use my own standards! What kind of person do I like? I like someone like Gu Chaoyu! Handsome, good figure, gentle and considerate, and a doctor... Wait, I'm not answering a question, I'm confessing my feelings!]

Hearing this, Gu Chaoyu couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud. He picked up a marker and, while listening to Lin Muci's inner thoughts, wrote on his answer sheet, "Ideal type of person": handsome, good-looking, gentle and considerate doctor.

In the column of [My ideal type], he wrote down based on his impression of Lin Muci: a kind, cute, and passionate little fool who is full of enthusiasm for life.

Lin Muci was still struggling with his conscience, but seeing that time was almost up, he made up his mind, closed his eyes, and decided to go all out!

Based on his observations during his time as a cat, Gu Chaoyu, despite appearing to be invincible, actually had weaknesses and helplessness in his heart. What he needed was someone who could bring sunshine and warmth to his life, someone who could make him completely relax.

Someone... like myself?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Lin Muci's face suddenly turned red.

[What am I thinking! How shameless!]

But his hand movements were honest. In the column for "Ideal Type," he quickly wrote down: kind, cute, passionate, and energetic.

After writing it, he himself felt it was outrageous. This wasn't a description of Gu Chaoyu's ideal type, it was clearly a self-introduction!

"Okay! Time's up!" the host announced loudly, "Please ask the two partners in our first group to simultaneously show your answer pads!"

Lin Muci took a deep breath and slowly turned the answer board over with Gu Chaoyu.

The next second, the whole restaurant was in an uproar!

I saw——

Lin Muci's answer sheet read:

[My ideal type: handsome, good-looking, gentle and considerate.]

[His ideal type: someone who is kind, cute, passionate and energetic.]

Gu Chaoyu's answer sheet read:

My ideal type: Kind, cute, and passionate about life.

[His ideal type: a handsome, well-built, gentle and considerate doctor.]

Two answer boards are placed side by side.

What they write as “their ideal type” is what the other person looks like.

The "ideal type" they wrote about their partner is what they themselves are like.

This isn't a test of tacit understanding; it's clearly a public confession of love!

Lin Muci's face instantly turned red, his mind was filled with [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
