Chapter 64 Chapter 4

Ruoruo's boarding time was in the afternoon in Country Y, so when she arrived in China, it was just after nine in the morning Beijing time.

She took out her cell phone, found the number marked as "Young Miss" and dialed it.

The phone didn't ring for long before it was picked up by the person on the other end.

Fu Shiting was very surprised to see the incoming call from "Poor Little One". You know, Ruoruo rarely calls her on her own initiative, and it is usually she who contacts Ruoruo first.

Besides, it should still be early morning in Country Y at this time, right? Fu Shiting was a little worried.

Although the program was being broadcast live and she had no way to avoid the camera even in the car, the unsolicited call at this time made it impossible for her to press the reject button.

After all, Ruoruo was forced to go abroad because of her, and she already felt very guilty. If she hadn't been so bad at learning foreign languages, leaving with her would only increase Ruoruo's burden. She even wanted to go abroad with her in anger.

If it weren't for Sheng Bin and Xu's relentless pressure, and if it weren't for her parents agreeing to the Sheng family's terms without any reason, Ruoruo would still be safe and sound by her side! It was all their fault! Ruoruo, such a thin and frail girl, was so pitiful to leave her hometown all alone!

She liked Sheng Binxu, but that didn't stop her from hating him because of his cruelty. That's why, even though she knew he hated her, she still pursued him in ways that disgusted him.

Ha, she just likes the way he can't stand her but can't get rid of her.

Anyway, she likes her and as long as she is happy, she just wants to keep pestering Sheng Binxu and do whatever she wants around him. As for whether Sheng Binxu will be unhappy because of this, that is none of her business.

He is her fiancé since childhood. Since he has no way to get rid of the marriage contract arranged by the Sheng family, and he can't bring himself to quarrel with his family and give up his inheritance rights, then he has to accept any behavior of his own. This is what he deserves!

The fact that she has become increasingly erratic over the past few years may also be the reason why Ruoruo was forced to leave.

The poor little thing was brought home by her, and she was hers. Anyone who bullied the poor little thing was bullying her, Fu Shiting!

Fu Shiting hadn't thought Ruo Ruo's actions were wrong. Ruo Ruo's statements were all true. Duan Lingling knew full well that Sheng Binxu was her fiancé, and that they were going to get engaged after high school and marry after college, but she still went her own way. She even deliberately showed off how close she and Sheng Binxu were in front of her, the person she was supposed to be dating, and smugly provoked her.

What's wrong with Ruo Ruo just stating some facts? The only mistake is that you shouldn't do this kind of thing alone. If you call her and once the truth is revealed, just say she ordered it, who would dare to say anything?

"Hello, what's the matter? Why are you calling at this time?" Fu Shiting answered the phone, a sincere smile appeared on her bright and beautiful face, and her tone became softer, seemingly a little gentle.

There was no way. When she first picked up the poor little thing, she was very cautious in everything she did. Fu Shiting hated seeing others like this the most, so she developed the habit of speaking in a gentle tone when talking to Ruoruo.

You can't see each other's expressions on the phone, and if she doesn't use a gentle tone, the poor guy will probably start to have wild thoughts again.

What she didn't know was that the comments in the live broadcast room also paused for a moment to insult her because of her smile.

Fishing slacker number one: [You know what, this Fu Shiting looks really pretty when she's on the phone.]

Pomegranate: [This sister always has a sullen face, but suddenly she smiles like this... Don't tell me, really don't tell me.]

Casual Eater: [Just came from Sheng Bin, Xu Duan Lingling's livestream. Isn't Fu Shiting really this pretty? Suddenly I think Sheng Bin and Xu's eyesight is a bit off!]

Coke Bottle: [Whether a person's personality is good or not is subjective, but their appearance is objective. To be honest, I'm in love with Fu Shiting!]

Past Gone: [It’s true that her face is objective, but her bad temper, fussy nature, tendency to roll her eyes, and love of interfering in other people’s affairs to steal men are also objective. Fu Shiting’s online army should stop washing her (attached with Fu Shiting’s eye-rolling emoticon pack)]

The people who were abusing her only paused for a few seconds before they were followed by another round of insults. This included the few comments praising her beauty, which were all described as words that could only be typed by a blind person.

In the eyes of those who hate Fu Shiting, Fu Shiting has no advantages at all.

.

Fu Shiting has been scolded since she started participating in this dating variety show. After all, as a guest, she is the one with the least vision. At the beginning, she tolerated her temper a little, but when she found that other guests would not like her even if she tolerated it, she stopped pretending.

When did Miss Fu ever ask to change herself just to be liked by others? She was who she was, and that was why she disdained to compromise, and she would never pretend to be someone else's favorite.

Of course, even if she thought she had endured it, she still directly demanded on the first day that she live in the best room, that her roommates cannot grind their teeth, snore, stay up late, or get up early, and that they cannot touch her things... If such requests are said in a roundabout way, or if they are achieved in a different way, people will not think it is excessive. After all, everyone wants to have a better living environment for the next month. The request to the roommate may not sound good, but it is not impossible to resolve it through negotiation.

But the bad thing was that Fu Shiting confidently stated all her demands on the first day she met everyone. This unyielding and unceremonious behavior naturally left a bad impression on the audience and other guests.

Therefore, Fu Shiting's behavior on the first day of the dating show caused widespread discussion. However, there were still many viewers who thought Fu Shiting was just being spoiled but could accept it.

After all, Fu Shiting didn't wear anything cheap, and the bag in her hand was the latest limited edition of brand A. Even ordinary people who didn't recognize famous brands could clearly feel her delicate temperament. It was obvious that she was raised in a wealthy family. I don't know how rich she is, but she definitely didn't come from an ordinary family.

The audience's tolerance for people who look rich, noble and good-looking is higher than for ordinary people.

But something went wrong that night.

Because of Fu Shiting's arrogance, no one wanted to share a room with her. Anyone who could participate in this dating show must be a rare talent. How could anyone be willing to be roommates with someone who looked so troublesome?

Only Duan Lingling volunteered to share a room with her, and the other two girls also agreed. Fu Shiting certainly didn't want to be Duan Lingling's roommate, but the production team insisted on arranging four female guests to share two rooms, and no one was willing to live with her, so even if Fu Shiting didn't want to, her objection was useless.

But something happened on the first day. Duan Lingling came back too late, and Fu Shiting simply locked the door.

When she woke up the next day, she was faced with many people's accusations.

But Miss Fu is no pushover. She bluntly stated that the production crew is a mixed bag, and that sleeping without locking the door at night is not a guarantee for her safety. "On the first day of participating in the program, who was Duan Lingling chatting with and not coming back until 11 o'clock? I thought she was not coming back to live here!"

However, this segment was not broadcast live or edited. After all, it wouldn't be good to hear that the male and female guests chatted until 11 pm on their first day together. If it got out, how would their relationship show proceed? Would they just change the two guests if they successfully held hands?

But the fact that Fu Shiting locked the door and refused to let Duan Lingling in was somehow leaked out, and even a member of the program crew confirmed the news. Although that person was later fired, the rumor still spread.

The audience who liked Fu Shiting at the beginning either changed their favorite people or kept silent.

After all, while she's pretty, none of the guests invited by the show are ugly. Plus, she's always angry or on the verge of getting angry. Watching a show is all about passing time and having fun, and no one wants to constantly see a guest with a sour face.

But from Fu Shiting's perspective, how could she be happy? From the first day they met, Sheng Binxu showed that he was obviously different from Duan Lingling.

If it is a requirement of the program team and a prerequisite for participating in the program that everyone must pretend to be meeting for the first time regardless of whether they know each other or not, then what is the reason for Sheng Binxu's special treatment of Duan Lingling?

If she wasn't afraid of being forced to leave the program due to breach of contract, she would have wanted to directly question Sheng Binxu.

They were already engaged and were planning to get married after graduating from university! And what happened? Sheng Binxu was being courteous to someone else right in front of her. It was like this five years ago, and it's still like this five years later!

Duan Lingling didn't come back at eleven o'clock, and Sheng Bin was not in the room around ten o'clock. It was conceivable that they went somewhere to reminisce about the past!

Fu Shiting knew in her heart that Sheng Binxu was forcing her to cancel the engagement. After all, he himself did not dare to be the bad guy.

But why? It's not like she's in love with someone else, it's not like she's in love with someone else, so why should she stand up against the two families and be the ignorant one? Fu Shiting refuses!

What's more, it's not just Sheng Binxu who can't resist his family. Fu Shiting is also in the same situation. Sheng Binxu has a younger brother, and Fu Shiting has an older brother with whom she is not close!

In this marriage, whoever backed out first would truly lose. But Fu Shiting had no intention of sacrificing herself for others, so she couldn't back out. Even if she died, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask for a breakup!

Because of this, she acted like a dog-skin plaster, chasing after Sheng Binxu on the show, and the audience became increasingly disgusted with her.

.

Although Fu Shiting had not specifically searched for herself online, she could imagine her current reputation, so she didn't even dare to call Ruoruo's name. After all, it was fine to scold her, but the poor little girl was already so pitiful, she couldn't be scolded again.

"Miss, I...I'm back home, but there are so many people at this airport and I don't know how to get home. Can you come pick me up?"

Fu Shiting couldn't help but exclaimed: "What, you're back to China?" She had specifically checked and found that Ruoruo's school graduation date should not have arrived yet?

"Yes, I applied for graduation early. I miss you very much." The last four words were so faint that it was almost inaudible. Fortunately, Fu Shiting had good ears.

Then Fu Shiting's ears slowly turned red, and she didn't know where to put her hands. The hand that was not holding the phone made eight hundred fake movements in one second.

And... no one has ever told her that they miss her.

She grew up with a nanny and housekeeper. Her parents only came home occasionally and never told her that they missed her.

But the next second, she became angry again.

Damn it, if it weren't for Sheng Binxu, the poor little girl wouldn't have left her! Look at her now, she's at a loss as to how to get home. God knows how she survived alone in Country Y?

As for the small treasury she had given to Ruoruo and the money she transferred to Ruoruo's card every year, they were just basic living allowance.

Being rich doesn’t mean Ruoruo can live well abroad!

"Okay, I'll do it right away... Never mind, how about I call the driver to pick you up?" She was still recording the show. What if Ruoru got scolded if she came into contact with her?

I can't let the poor little girl suffer any more because of her! She didn't take her home to be wronged!

"But Miss, I miss you so much. Doesn't Miss want Ruo Ruo anymore?"

Through the phone, Ruo Ruo's crying voice seemed to be about to come out.

However, if she could see Ruoruo face to face, Fu Shiting would realize that this little girl was just pretending to be pitiful. How could she be sad? But Fu Shiting had no idea! And she was very much fooled by Ruoruo's tricks.

"Yes, of course. Then send me your location and wait somewhere less crowded. Ideally, go to a beverage store, coffee shop, or restaurant. You can't just wait outside like an idiot, okay? I'll be there in a minute!"

"Okay~" Ruoruo agreed quickly and after hanging up the phone, she pulled her suitcase and walked towards the nearest beverage store.

She really doesn't like crowded places, but it's not because she is afraid or helpless, she just thinks it's messy, noisy and bustling, so she doesn't like it.

For example, now.

"Miss, can I add you?"

"Can't."

"Hello, beautiful, where are you going? I have a car, why don't I take you there?"

…

Even though Ruoruo was wearing a mask, there were still people who came up to her enthusiastically.

By the time she finally walked into a beverage store, Ruoruo had already rejected countless people. She didn't know whether those people thought she was easy to fool or were really that enthusiastic.

But she certainly wouldn't accept anyone's advances, otherwise how could she let the eldest lady come to pick her up in person?

When she first met Engel in Country Y, it was through Engel's constant encounters and his proactive help in solving her problems that they gradually became familiar with each other.

Sitting in the store, she ordered two cups of Miss and her favorite milk tea, then took out her mobile phone and turned on Miss's current live broadcast.

…

After Fu Shiting hung up the phone, she immediately asked Tan Tongtong, who was driving, to turn around.

"I don't want to go to the water park anymore. I want to go to the international airport!" Her tone was not very good, as if she had a completely different face from the person who had just called.

Because she knew that even if she spoke nicely, Tan Tongtong would not speak nicely to her. After all, he liked Duan Lingling just like Sheng Binxu.

Today's groups were assigned based on yesterday's heart-warming messages. Sheng Binxu and Duan Lingling were the only ones who chose each other. The rest of the groupings were determined by drawing lots, and she was unlucky enough to be drawn with Tan Tongtong. Of course, for Tan Tongtong, it must have been unlucky to be drawn with herself.

The two of them probably disliked each other because they were both rich kids who didn't need to inherit the family business and were somewhat rebellious in nature.

Fu Shiting felt that Tan Tongtong's words were harsh and that she was not only ungentlemanly but also lacked manners. Tan Tongtong also felt that she was rude and, coupled with the fact that she had locked Duan Lingling outside, she had no good impression of her.

If they had not already agreed last night to go to the place where Sheng Binxu and Duan Lingling were dating and find the two of them to date together, they probably wouldn't have been able to get out so smoothly today.

As expected, Tan Tongtong hooked her lips and started to scold, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Didn't we decide on the meeting place yesterday? Just change the place if you say so?"

"You've been kicked in the head by a donkey! Yesterday's rule was that the female guest gets to choose the date location. What's wrong with me wanting to book it at the international airport? If you want to go to the water park, go alone! I'm not going anyway!"

Tan Tongtong frowned and looked her up and down without any courtesy, as if he didn't want to get rid of Fu Shiting and go alone.

But the problem was that Duan Lingling and Sheng Binxu were at the water park right now, so how could he go in alone? Besides, the production team wouldn't allow him to go in alone!

Tan Tongtong stopped talking, but didn't turn around to listen to her.

He knew she wanted to pick someone up at the airport, but he was not her driver, so why should he go wherever she said?

Besides, what does it have to do with him if she picks up her friend?

Fu Shiting took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to touch him while he was driving.

"I'm serious. If you don't want to go to the airport, you can park and I'll take a taxi. Even if you drive to the water park, I won't be able to get in. It'll just be a waste of both of our time!"

Tan Tongtong also understood that what she said made sense. If she hadn't gone to the water park, he wouldn't have tied her up there. But he just couldn't swallow this anger. "Is your friend an idiot? Or a disabled person who can't take care of himself? Can't he just go home by himself at the airport? Why did he have to disturb you while you were on the show?"

"Are you deaf? Don't you understand? I said I changed my mind and wanted to go to the airport. Why did you say that about my friend? What does my friend have to do with you? Who the hell are you to criticize others?"

If they weren't driving on the road, the two of them would have had a fight.

"Then you can go alone. I'll go back to the cabin!"

Tan Tongtong parked the car on the side of the road and let her get out and take a taxi. Fu Shiting was also happy and relaxed, as she didn't want him and the camera crew to follow her.

"I'm sorry, you must be together for all the actions today." The cameraman suddenly spoke, startling both of them.

In the end, Tan Tongtong could only drive towards the airport with a sour face. Because the cameraman said that the female guest would decide the date location today, so where to go would depend on the female guest.

If it weren't for the fact that his mother forced him to participate in this dating show, and that Duan Lingling, whom he had a crush on, was not in it, he would have quit long ago.

But he has no choice but to do it now. Not to mention whether his mother will really suspend his credit card, the investors of this dating show are his father and brother's business partners. If he quits halfway, it will inevitably cause trouble for his father and brother.

…

The commentators were also stunned by this sudden quarrel. Although they knew that these two people were not compatible, they did not know that they were incompatible to this extent.

Frontline spectators: [No? Why was Fu Shiting happily on the phone just now? I went out to pick up a takeout, and suddenly they started arguing?]

White Little Black Rabbit: [Fu Shiting is really speechless. We've clearly agreed on a location, and the car is halfway there, but suddenly she says she wants to go to the airport. Haha, she really is a young lady who doesn't care about other people's feelings at all!]

The young lady's follower replied: [She is already a young lady, so what if she doesn't care about other people's feelings?]

The Past is Gone: [Her friend on the phone was just as speechless as Fu Shiting. If they were truly good friends, didn't she know Fu Shiting was participating in a dating show? She was bothering someone even though she knew she was on the show. Could it be that she couldn't live without Fu Shiting?]

The young lady's attendant replied: [Yes, it is true that she cannot survive.]

Hihahahihaha: [But I think since the female guest decided on the date location, and Fu Shiting wanted to go to the airport, then go ahead. The production team didn't require the date location to be set yesterday or before leaving this morning, right? Sister Yu and Dr. He still had their date at the Heartbeat House today...]

The young lady's little follower gave a thumbs up.

Traveling the Ends of the World: [Forget about the above. You call that a date? If you spend even a few minutes watching their livestream, you wouldn't be able to say anything like that. Two people, one in front of a computer meeting, the other reading a book. They haven't interacted at all since breakfast. They're worse than Fu Shiting and Tan Tongtong. At least they can still have a fight.]

Little Moon: [Didn't she just get scolded because Fu Shiting's confirmed date location overlapped with Duan Lingling and Sheng Bin's? Now she doesn't want to bother them anymore. Isn't that a good thing?]

The young lady's follower liked the post and replied: [Yes, some people shouldn't hate the young lady too much. Why is everything she does wrong?]

White Little Black Rabbit: […Have you noticed there’s a Fu Shiting diehard fan?]

The young lady's attendant replied: [Are you talking about me? Thanks for the compliment!]

Ruo Ruo watched the live broadcast with a serious expression, her hands typing rapidly on her phone keyboard. In the few days since she had the nightmare, she had already mastered her typing speed.

Many viewers also expressed their surprise that there were actually Fu Shiting’s crazy fans who dared to stand up and were not afraid of being scolded.

Especially with this name, it really... makes me wonder what to say...

.

At this time in the water park, Duan Lingling seemed quite absent-minded.

"Lingling, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Why don't we go to a nearby restaurant and sit for a while?" The environment there will definitely be much better than here.

"No, I'm fine." Duan Lingling naturally didn't want to go to the nearby restaurant. That kind of restaurant has always been very private. If she went there, how would Fu Shiting and Tan Tongtong find her?

But she was indeed waiting anxiously now.

She had clearly revealed the date location to Tan Tongtong last night. She didn't believe that Tan Tongtong hadn't told Fu Shiting, and she didn't believe that Tan Tongtong and Fu Shiting would miss the opportunity to get involved and go on a date alone with two people who disliked each other.

But it's already past ten o'clock, and there is still no trace of the two people.

[System, check Fu Shiting's current whereabouts.] Fu Shiting muttered to herself.

"Ding, 10 points of Luck will be deducted. Do you want to deduct Luck points to check?" An emotionless, mechanical voice echoed in Duan Lingling's mind.

[yes]

[Ding, I found out that Duan Lingling is currently at No. 28 Mochen Road]

Duan Lingling picked up her cell phone, avoided Sheng Binxu's gaze, and began to check where No. 28 Mochen Road was. She found that it was right between the cabin and the water park, and Duan Lingling felt relieved.

Fu Shiting must have caused some trouble this morning that delayed her, but since she came here, she didn't need to worry. She would come over sooner or later anyway and then act out the script she had already prepared.

Now Sheng Binxu has an 80% favorability rating towards her, and other chosen ones also have a high favorability rating towards her. Even Fu Shiting's brother has a 73% favorability rating towards her, so she doesn't need to worry about not having enough luck.

Her efforts over the past few years have not been in vain.

And Fu Shiting is destined to become her stepping stone.

In fact, although Fu Shiting was chosen as the one whose luck was plundered at the beginning, a man's favorability towards her can also help increase his luck value.

It's actually not impossible to let go and stop plundering Fu Shiting's luck. After all, now she no longer needs to worry about using luck to prolong her life.

But people are always unsatisfied. When Duan Lingling first linked to the system, she just wanted to borrow a little bit of the heroine's luck to keep herself alive.

But as she used her luck points to get more and more things, Duan Lingling became increasingly dissatisfied.

She wants the hero, and she also wants all the luck of the heroine.

This program is a great opportunity.

The follower who had been with Fu Shiting caused her to be expelled from the aristocratic school and ruined her reputation. She also blamed Fu Shiting for this and she was determined to get revenge!

Moreover, in the novel she read, Fu Shiting was the heroine and Sheng Binxu was the hero, but when she came, Sheng Binxu had already become hers, so the original heroine naturally became a thorn in her side.

She planned to give Fu Shiting another big gift today, making Fu Shiting's already bad popularity even worse.

So bad that she needs to be kicked off the show, and then she, the victim, will come forward and plead to be allowed to stay.

She will break down all of Fu Shiting's arrogance bit by bit and turn her into a rat crossing the street.

And now, all that’s left is for the actors to match her to appear on stage.

But if she checked later, she would find that the actor she was expecting had deviated from the route to the water park.

…

"Why don't you drive faster? If you can't drive, get out and let me do it!" Fu Shiting was really annoyed by Tan Tongtong's turtle-like speed! You know, he didn't drive at this speed when he was driving towards the water park just now.

"There are so many cars here, what can I do?" Tan Tongtong was stubborn and couldn't admit that he did it on purpose just because he disliked Fu Shiting!

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did it on purpose, there was a difference between admitting it and denying it. Especially since it was still being broadcast live, he couldn't go too far.

"Then just stop the car and get out, I'll take the driver's seat, okay?" Fu Shiting didn't want to argue with him, she just wanted to get to the airport quickly.

She really hadn't seen Ruoruo for a long, long time.

It's not that she hasn't thought about going abroad to see Ruoruo and have some fun, but her family always stopped her. Fu Shiting was furious. Who told her that she still needed money from her family?

She could only call Ruo Ruo more often when it was convenient for both her and Ruo Ruo. They hadn't agreed to video chat, because face-to-face chatting was really awkward for Fu Shiting. There were some things she couldn't say when she was looking at someone's face.

I don’t know if the poor little thing is eating well abroad. I hope he doesn’t get any thinner.

Fu Shiting was a little worried, and what worried her even more was that she didn't know if Ruoruo was waiting anxiously. She had just returned to China, and the country had undergone tremendous development and changes in recent years. She didn't know if she could find a suitable place to wait for her.

Although she had helped her to tear off Duan Lingling's face neatly, in Fu Shiting's heart, Ruoruo would always be the poor little thing who needed others' careful care.

Thinking back to when she found her on the roadside, she was dirty and torn, like a little beggar, but her eyes were bright and moving. When he saw her, there was only admiration and envy in his eyes, and there was no trace of discomfort in her eyes.

In the days that followed, Ruoruo always tried her best to prove her worth, but she didn't realize that her company itself was her greatest value to her.

Fu Shiting was too lonely. Even though she was surrounded by countless people, she would feel lonely every time she opened her eyes. But since she picked up Ruoruo, she no longer felt this sadness.

From then on, she had a playmate who would applaud and support her no matter what she did and believed in her playmate.

She no longer has to be sad about her parents' neglect and her brother's indifference, because she already has a relative who believes in her wholeheartedly.

Originally, Fu Shiting was thinking of calling to ask where Ruoruo was when she arrived at the airport. However, when Tan Tongtong parked the car and Fu Shiting got out, they were very far away. Fu Shiting had an intuition telling her that Ruoruo must be in the most conspicuous milk tea shop.

That was their favorite brand of milk tea five years ago, but Fu Shiting no longer liked it when she was alone. It seemed milk tea only tasted better when someone was together.

"Hey, don't you call and ask where your friend is?" Tan Tongtong, who had glanced at her while driving just now, knew that Fu Shiting, the so-called friend, had only sent her a rough location. Now that there were so many people here, who knew where that person was waiting?

"After picking her up, are you still going to the water park? Or somewhere else? Let me make it clear in advance that I will definitely not accompany you and your friends to hang out or go to some random place! You'd better take care of your friends' business quickly and then go back to the cabin. I'm exhausted from driving, I need to go back and rest!"

"..." Fu Shiting glanced at him up and down before replying impatiently, "I know, I know, don't worry!"

"My friend and I will just meet to send her home. I will drive later. I won't really tire your Master Tan to death!"

"Okay!" Tan Tongtong nodded reluctantly.

As they were about to enter the milk tea shop, Fu Shiting suddenly remembered something and turned to the person behind her and said, "Please don't film my friend's face. My friend is not participating in the show!"

To put it bluntly, Fu Shiting was still afraid that Ruoruo would show up and be scolded along with her.
