Chapter 71 Chapter 71 11

Fu Shiting came back at 4:30 in the afternoon.

At that time, Tan Tongtong was still the only one in the cabin. Huo Jingshen left after arranging the bed. As for the others, they had not returned yet.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tan Tongtong, who was originally half-sitting on the sofa playing games, stood up and sat down, turned off his mobile phone, and then pretended to be relaxed and stood up and walked to the door.

"I *** you ***" Tan Tongtong's teammates cursed angrily when they saw the person who was about to use a big move suddenly stopped, followed by the death of two people.

The phone that was turned off emitted a message with a strong tone of "parents". Tan Tongtong hurriedly pressed the volume down button on the phone. The voices of his teammates quickly became smaller and disappeared without a trace.

At 4:30, as expected, it must not be the guests going to work.

He walked quickly to where he could see the door, full of anticipation but pretending to be calm.

…

It’s Fu Shiting.

He said nothing, waiting for the person behind him.

He believed his guess was absolutely correct. If the director had invited another female guest at this point, he would have been in big trouble. For those eagerly anticipating the event online, for the director himself, and for the show itself, inviting Fu Shiting's friend was the best solution.

Of course, it was even more so for him. If it really wasn't the case, he could just pack up and go home. There was no need to waste time here.

After all, he really didn't believe that his father, mother, and brother would not support him in pursuing true love just to let him participate in a boring show.

But the next moment he watched Fu Shiting close the door.

???

Tan Tongtong couldn't believe it.

"Fu...Sister Fu, you're back?"

Fu Shiting nodded as a matter of course, "Yeah, do you even need to ask? If it's not me, could it be a ghost?"

She answered while changing her shoes.

"By the way, you should just call me by my name. I can't bear to be called your Sister Fu. It sounds uncomfortable." She didn't mind being called by her full name at all. Her name was not shameful. Compared to being called by her full name, she couldn't accept being called by a fake intimate name. It was easy for her to get goose bumps just by hearing it.

Tan Tongtong's "Sister Fu" is it, and Duan Lingling's "Shi Ting" is it too, but their relationship is not that good, and it's scary to hear them pretending, so it's better to just call her by her full name.

What's wrong with Tan Tongtong? I haven't watched live broadcasts in two days. Has the world developed to this point?

[When did Tan Tongtong and Fu Shiting become so close?]

[What's so good about the upstairs? Fu Shiting is so ungrateful! She's giving people face by calling her sister, yet she refuses.]

Only the die-hard viewers who had been in Room 3 the entire time yesterday could truly understand the reason behind Tan Tongtong's change of heart. From the moment he turned off his phone, he had already started laughing non-stop.

So the entire barrage seemed to be divided into two worlds, one expressing complete incomprehension, the other expressing complete understanding and having already begun to laugh at Tan Tongtong wantonly.

However, the moment they saw Fu Shiting close the door, not only Tan Tongtong was disappointed, but their hearts also sank.

They were all waiting for the hope in their hearts, but it was obvious that neither they nor Tan Tongtong waited for it.

"Okay, how about I call you Shi Ting too? Or Fu Fu?"

Fu Fu is what Fu Shiting's friends call her. When she met everyone and introduced herself on the first day of the show, she actually said that they could call her Fu Fu, but it was obvious that no one cared.

Only when she was introduced did a few people call her "Shi Ting". After that, few people took the initiative to talk to her. Even when all the guests sat together and chatted, she was the one who was least able to fit in. Over time, others followed Duan Lingling's lead and called her "Shi Ting".

"Then just call her Shi Ting. It's best to keep it the same as before. I won't change it anyway!" It's best not to taint the name Fu Fu. Even though many of the sisters who call her Fu Fu aren't true friends, they're just there to save face, unlike the guests on dating shows. My resistance to being called Shi Ting has already risen, so there's no need to disgust myself with another name.

"Okay, have you...your friend settled down?" When asking this, Tan Tongtong thought of the scene he saw in the car yesterday. The girl was so beautiful that she seemed beyond mortal, and his ears turned red involuntarily.

Fu Shiting: "Of course, she's not stupid, nor is she disabled and unable to take care of herself. Can't we settle her down?"

Tan Tongtong: ...You have a good memory. The boomerang really hurts.

[What does that mean? What's she talking about? But Fu Shiting is so uncultured. Why would she say that about her own friend?]

Only those who understand will still laugh non-stop.

Are all of you who are laughing at this a bunch of jokes hired by the production team? Is this funny?

lspmm: [It's funny, very funny, like watching someone's face get swollen after being hit.]

Days Gone: [……]

Ruoruo is my wife: [@The past no longer talks about feelings. ]

Days Gone: [Thanks for the invitation, but it's not that funny actually.] Because his face also hurt a little, but luckily there were people who felt the pain as well, and it might even hurt more than his.

Past Gone: [@若若 If my wife is still here, who are you? Are you a user brother or a book-hungry sister, can you please let me go and stop tagging me, okay?]

Are you book-starved again today? [@The past is no longer about me, right here! (waving jpg.)]

Ruoruo is my wife: [@Past Gone I'm afraid not. Who made you so prominent before? You cursed as soon as Fu Shiting came. Now the contrast is terrible. You deserve it, hahahaha]

The audience who didn't watch Room 3's livestream yesterday were all confused. And judging by the looks of it, these people are practically becoming friends after watching the livestream? Is that really the case? Some wondered, and some even asked.

But for them, it really didn't matter, because they were really familiar with it. After all, the number of viewers in the first broadcast room of No. 3 was really small, and there were even fewer people who liked to leave comments. They had followed it all the way and were really familiar with it.

lspmm: [Except for my old friend @往日告别, we can also be real friends~]

Are you book-starved again today? [Got it, I’m paying attention.]

Days Gone: [Why Except Me?]

Ruoruo is my wife: [@The past is no longer counted, I still have the screen recording with the comments from yesterday!]

A fan of the fourth-generation girl group: [Frog Fun!!! Is this the full version? Is it with commentary? I beg you!!! Look at me, look at me! @若若是我妻]

Ruoruo is my wife: [@Fourth Generation Girl Group’s Era fans okkk no problem, if there are other sisters who want it, you can also PM me~]

After Fu Shiting entered the house, she no longer paid attention to Tan Tongtong. She went straight upstairs to her room and started packing her things.

Tan Tongtong was extremely anxious and wanted to ask for a definite answer, but she couldn't ask directly.

I could only absentmindedly open my phone to check the game that had not yet ended, only to find that it had already ended, and I had successfully failed.

So he started another game.

"Brother, it's you again. You have to play well this time." One of the teammates in the previous game was unexpectedly matched again.

Tan Tongtong agreed readily.

After playing for five minutes, my teammates felt relieved and it seemed that they could perform normally this time.

Then the door of Fu Shiting and Duan Lingling's dormitory upstairs was opened by Fu Shiting. Tan Tongtong looked up and saw her pulling a suitcase.

"Where are you going?" Tan Tongtong threw his phone on the sofa and walked upstairs in a few steps.

"...I***" The teammate on the phone started swearing again, but Tan Tongtong didn't care anymore. It was just a few scoldings, not worth mentioning, and he couldn't hear it anymore because he ran far away.

The most urgent matter now is Fu Shiting.

Tan Tongtong was afraid she was going to quit the show. Yes! This show was clearly not a pleasant one for Fu Shiting, but he really didn't want her to quit. If she did, how would he find out about his sweetheart? But if she did, he would have to consider quitting as well, as soon as possible.

"Why are you so worried today? It's scary!" Fu Shiting rolled her eyes in an indecent manner.

"Can't you even ask? We're…" Tan Tongtong rubbed his head in frustration. He couldn't really put his finger on the relationship. They'd been completely at odds before, and it was impossible for them to become friends in such a short time.

Regret! Tan Tongtong felt that if no one was around, he would bang his head on the ground to express his regret. He swore that he would be a polite person in the future and never talk back to others carelessly again!

Fu Shiting: "Get out of the way. I need to move to another dormitory. Are you standing here willing to help? If you don't want to help, then please move away and don't get in the way."

"Moving to a new dormitory?" Tan Tongtong's eyes lit up. "Are you planning to move to a new dormitory? Come on, come on, I'll help you. I love helping others."

Changing dormitories is a good idea! Does changing dormitories mean that the new female guest is very likely to be Fu Shiting's friend?

"Come here, I'm free anyway, so give it to me and you go in and clean up!" It would be best to let him move everything, so that she can say a few good words for him in front of her friends later.

It was obvious what Tan Tongtong was thinking, but Fu Shiting gave him the things without any guilt.

It was so funny. She didn't make any deal with him. Since he was so helpful, of course she had to satisfy him.

This was the scene Liu Yuxin saw when she came back.

She rubbed her eyes repeatedly, thinking that the sun must have risen from the west today, otherwise how could she see these two firecrackers getting along so happily, quietly and harmoniously?

[Yes, yes, that's the normal reaction!] [Yuxin plays me!]

[The correct answer is "I can't believe it!" I'm almost starting to question my life because of those people laughing their asses off in the livestream!]

[Who isn't? I almost thought I'd traveled to a parallel world. The fact that these two people can live in peace is ridiculous!]

[The above person said, it's not ridiculous, not at all. You'll know if you ask @箬箬, my wife, for the screen recording of yesterday's live broadcast in Room 3! What's ridiculous about it? It's clearly normal behavior!]

[You think I don't want it? I've run out of private chats today! What kind of good stuff is this? Why can't you just post it directly to your homepage for us to see? (crying head jpg.)]

[Okay, Buddha said: It cannot be explained. Hehehe~]

[I asked for it, and she said it would be sent out in two days...so the private chat limit is useless.]

Ruoruo is my wife and she also has her own selfish motives. Originally, she was just talking nonsense and wanted to share it with a few people so that they could witness what a beautiful face is and understand their own happiness. However, too many people asked her.

Many people who remain silent in the comment section are actually commenting faster than anyone else.

Then she noticed Fu Shiting moving to the dormitory, and thought that her fairy wife might come to participate in the show, so she stopped sharing. After all, if her fairy wife came to participate in the show, it would be better to let everyone in the live broadcast room feel the impact personally, hehe!

The second person to come back was Tang Xi. He was a lawyer, but after becoming the top in the industry, he opened his own law firm and became the boss. In order to participate in the show, he deliberately did not take on many cases.

"What are they doing?" He felt a little strange seeing Fu Shiting and Tan Tongtong busying around. Even if there were new guests, there wouldn't be any need to move so many things, right?

"Oh, aren't there new guests coming? The new dormitory is now available, so Shi Ting plans to move to the new dormitory." Liu Yuxin on the side helped explain.

She had just politely asked if he could help her, but was rejected. Of course, she didn't really want to help, as they weren't close friends. But it was Tan Tongtong who was acting strangely. Why hadn't she known Tan Tongtong was such a gentleman before?

"Moving dormitory?" Tang Xi frowned slightly, but soon recovered.

It would be better to move to a new dormitory, so that Fu Shiting wouldn't target Duan Lingling for no reason again.

After all, even if he restrained his love for Duan Lingling, he could not deny that Duan Lingling had a good personality. Even if he regarded her as a friend, he did not want to see Duan Lingling being bullied every day.

There were actually many things between the female guests that he didn't understand, but it was indeed a good thing for the two of them to separate.

I just hope that the new female guest is also a person with a good personality, so that she can become friends with Lingling and save her from feeling lonely here.

Yu Baiyi and Liu Yuxin live in the same dormitory. Yu Baiyi has a cold personality, but Liu Yuxin is obviously more willing to take the initiative to talk to Yu Baiyi, who agrees to live in the same dormitory with her. Lingling has a warm and cheerful personality and likes to make friends, but she can only try to please Fu Shiting. Tang Xi felt that it was unnecessary from the beginning. After all, Fu Shiting locked her out of the door without any hesitation on the first day, but Lingling has this personality and he can't change it.

As for why he subconsciously felt that the female guest would not choose to live in the same dormitory with Fu Shiting, he thought that if the female guest had a little understanding of this variety show, she would not take the initiative to choose a roommate with a bad personality.

After all, in terms of reputation, Lingling is much better than Fu Shiting.

Duan Lingling and Sheng Binxu came back together. They had agreed a few days ago that every time after work, Sheng Binxu would pick Duan Lingling up and take her home, as it was convenient for them and the time was right. As for the mornings, Sheng Binxu would leave earlier than Duan Lingling.

"I'm back~" Duan Lingling's cheerful voice had already floated into everyone's ears before she even entered the door. She has always been like this, as if she has endless energy and is full of vitality all day long. She can indeed bring some positive energy to people at certain times.

Tang Xi was initially happy when she heard the voice, but her smile faded when she realized Sheng Binxu was following behind.

[Ding, Tang Xi's favorability increased by 21, currently at 80.]

[Ding, Tang Xi's favorability decreased by 21, currently at 59.]

Duan Lingling was stunned by the extremely rapid change in favorability, and soon she started to greet him as if nothing had happened.

[Lingling is really full of energy every day!]

[I feel happy when I see Lingling, hehehe~]

[But doesn't anyone think she's a bit pretentious? She's practically locked in with Sheng Bin and Xu, and their feelings are so obvious, yet she's also clearly trying to get closer to the other male guests. She has absolutely no sense of propriety.]

[Replying to the previous post, I didn't realize it. Lingling has always been like this. I don't know when enthusiasm and optimism became a reason for the black people to be black. And have you really watched the live broadcast? Our Lingling is just as enthusiastic about Fu Shiting!]

[Yes, even as a casual person, I think Duan Lingling has a really good personality. I really want to have a good friend with such a personality. I feel like every day would be very happy.]

Is that so? But Fu Shiting's love for Sheng Binxu should be obvious, right? Feelings can't be forced. But Duan Lingling often tells Fu Shiting about plans she and Sheng Binxu made together, and what Sheng Binxu gave her. Is that what they call genuine enthusiasm? Being enthusiastic, outgoing, and optimistic—these beautiful qualities don't necessarily mean being clueless. Why is she using these words to cover up the hurt her actions have caused others?

[Upstairs, you're not a fan of Fu Shiting, are you? I'm surprised someone actually wants to speak up for Fu Shiting and whitewash her!]

[To put it bluntly, they're just bullying our Lingling because she's kind-hearted!]

[…Fu Shiting doesn’t need me to whitewash her. I’m not a fan of Fu Shiting. I just think Duan Lingling is out of place, okay?]

…

With the return of Duan Lingling and Sheng Binxu, the cabin gradually became lively and there were voices of talking.

After all, Duan Lingling is a person who can't stop talking.

Tang Xi felt that this little house finally had the air of home, and he liked this feeling. So even though he had restrained his affection for Duan Lingling because of her and Sheng Binxu's closeness, and tried hard not to fall in love with someone who didn't like him, he still responded to Duan Lingling's sometimes cute and sometimes funny words from time to time.

But Tan Tongtong has a different perspective.

It would have been fine if Duan Lingling had spoken normally, but she couldn't help but want to bring the topic to Fu Shiting.

In the past, Tan Tongtong was prejudiced against Fu Shiting and had a good impression of Duan Lingling, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Duan Lingling's behavior.

But now it's different. The only 10 points of favorability he has for Duan Lingling just make her a little better than a stranger in his heart. This little bit is not enough for him to ignore Duan Lingling's little tricks.

Especially when Fu Shiting obviously didn't want to pay attention to Duan Lingling, she continued to talk to herself, which made Tan Tongtong frown.

Tan Tongtong couldn't stand this kind of approach with ulterior motives.

Tang Xi couldn't stand it either, but what she couldn't stand was Fu Shiting's cold attitude.

"Shiting, have you moved all your things?" Tang Xi interrupted Duan Lingling's words which were filled with joy and enthusiasm, and suddenly asked Fu Shiting.

Fu Shiting: "..."

She didn't really want to answer. Were they all blind? How could she be sitting on the sofa now if she hadn't finished moving?

Instead, Duan Lingling was startled. "Shiting, what are you moving? Do you need help? Is it difficult to move? Do you need me and Brother Sheng to help you?"

Fu Shiting rolled her eyes and didn't answer. It was hilarious! Didn't Duan Lingling know that Sheng Binxu was still her fiancé? She had to mention Sheng Binxu every time she spoke, as if she was afraid others wouldn't know how close they were.

She hadn't told anyone before that Sheng Binxu was her fiancé because she wanted to cooperate with the production team and to stay in the production team to make her presence felt. But now... well, if you disgust her again, she would tell it.

Anyway, the more she looked at Sheng Binxu, the more annoyed she became. Especially after meeting Ruoruo, she really realized that Sheng Binxu was just so-so... average, not much different from the appearance of a cowherd. He even had to be humble and coax her into a good mood as long as she spent money. Isn't that better than Sheng Binxu's sour face?

"Shiting, didn't you tell Lingling? It's like this, aren't we going to have a new female guest? The director agreed to use the last remaining dormitory, so Shiting decided to move to the new dormitory." Liu Yuxin sat on a small sofa next to the coffee table and spoke slowly, with a hint of a feeling that she was just watching the fun and not minding the trouble.

"What?" Duan Lingling was very surprised and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Did I do something to upset you, Shiting? Sometimes I'm careless and might not pay much attention to many things. If you care, you can tell me directly. I will definitely try my best to correct it. Don't move to another dormitory just to avoid me. I think although there are some small misunderstandings between us, I really treat you as a friend."

Fu Shiting rolled her eyes almost to the sky. She sat in a "human doghouse" in the corner, not even looking at her, letting her perform a solo.

"Fu Shiting, Lingling is talking to you!" Sheng Binxu couldn't stand it and subconsciously felt that Fu Shiting was bullying Duan Lingling.

"Lingling no longer cares about the previous misunderstanding, so why are you still making a fuss?" In his opinion, Fu Shiting moved out of the original dormitory and moved to the new dormitory just to deliberately embarrass Lingling.

Duan Lingling, who claimed to regard Fu Shiting as a "friend", said nothing at this time and just kept crying.

Fu Shiting felt that she really deserved to be a student of acting. She could cry as soon as she said she would, and she was actually quite good at acting.

However, what Fu Shiting didn't know was that it wasn't that Duan Lingling was acting, but that she was really sad.

You know, if Fu Shiting moved out of the original dormitory, how could she say some specious words in front of Fu Shiting in private to anger Fu Shiting and take away her luck.

So Duan Lingling was really anxious!

But no one could understand her. Even Sheng Binxu, after blaming Fu Shiting, began to comfort her, saying that it might be a good thing for Fu Shiting to move out.

Tang Xi had the same idea, so he didn't say anything after deliberately exposing the matter. However, he didn't expect Duan Lingling's reaction to be so strong, so strong that he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Duan Lingling was not like this before, but since yesterday, she seemed to have an indescribable sense of urgency, which made Tang Xi feel a little strange.
