Gu Yulin stood in front of the two of them and silently covered his eyes.

On the stage, only Gu Qingyan and Xu Zhaozhao remained facing off. The scene was very quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the stage, wondering if the two would kiss.

The comments section was much more enthusiastic than the live audience.

[Yoshi, the little fish who's quietly covering its eyes is actually a little fish who's diligently completing the game tasks~]

【Kiss me! Give me a kiss! It's just a game, I know! [wink]】

In my opinion, your Best Actor's first on-screen kiss is already in jeopardy, even before "Crossing the River Moon" starts filming!

【Sister-in-law Zhao Zhao, if you kiss him, you have to marry him! [shy]】

...

Torn between protecting Gu Qingyan and being eliminated, Xu Zhaozhao was torn between two conflicting emotions.

"It's just a game, everyone knows that."

Gu Qingyan's words seemed to have a seductive quality, leading her to lower her guard.

It's just a game...

"Well... Teacher Gu, I apologize for the intrusion."

Xu Zhaozhao steeled her heart, closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Gu Qingyan's thin lips.

Her heart was pounding with nervousness, and her face flushed pink.

I originally intended to kiss her and then immediately pull away; it was just an imitation, and there was no requirement for the duration of the kiss.

It wasn't until the familiar feel of the beads appeared behind her waist that Xu Zhaozhao realized something was wrong.

But it was too late.

Buzz—

Xu Zhaozhao felt as if the whole world had gone silent for a moment. She closed her eyes tightly, enduring the intense sensations brought on by the strong hormones.

That irresistible arm gripped her waist; as she retreated, Gu Qingyan followed, relentlessly conquering her territory.

No...you can't do this in front of the camera...

The thoughts in one's mind and the actual actions taken are not in sync.

Her head was spinning, and she gripped Gu Qingyan's coat tightly to give herself a sense of security.

She could already guess what kind of chaos the live stream comments were like right now.

[Mommy?! Really close?!]

These guests are incredibly competitive! It's true... one dares to design, and the other dares to imitate!

These two are really dedicated to their careers! They even imitated grabbing clothes and putting their arms around each other's waists perfectly! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up]

[Aaaaaah, the lady upstairs was a prophet! Gu Qingyan's first on-screen kiss was gone before filming even started for "Crossing the River Moon"! (Screams)]

[Only one? Not enough, not nearly enough!! Hurry up and film "Crossing the River Moon"! Get your mouths glued together!! [winking emoji]]

...

After an unknown amount of time, the soft touch that had been covering her lips disappeared.

She opened her somewhat bewildered eyes, her wet gaze filled with Gu Qingyan's smiling face.

With her waist still encircled, he smiled and asked her, "Zhaozhao, how was my imitation?"

It was as if he was playing a game seriously.

She said it very softly, but Xu Zhaozhao seemed to be startled and suddenly pushed Gu Qingyan away, creating a small distance between them.

"His kissing skills are a bit lacking."

Her face flushed slightly, but she pretended to be calm. "It's nothing, it's just for the game, I don't blame you."

This sentence sounds familiar, somewhat like the rhetoric of "You're just born that way, it's not your fault."

Gu Qingyan's eyes suddenly turned deep and unfathomable.

【Oh, oh, oh, oh, your kissing skills are still lacking. I don't believe it, send Gu Qingyan over here to kiss me! Hmph】

[Immortals should be paired with immortals! Gu Fozi and Xu Pusa should get married right now!! I wholeheartedly support them being together!]

【Sister-in-law!! Sister-in-law, please forgive him. He's such a blockhead, he really doesn't know how to kiss. Please teach him! [Kneeling]】

[You, my little darling, are truly blessed! You've kissed a Bodhisattva, do you know that your good fortune is yet to come?!]

...

After the audience finished getting excited, some negative voices gradually appeared in the comments section.

[Hey, Gu Qingyan's first on-screen kiss is gone! Your idols are in trouble! I really don't understand why you're all so excited.]

[Two actors kissing and their relationship is ruined? [laughing and crying emoji] If you don't find us a wife soon, I'll personally tear down their house!]

[I'm heartbroken. I've been a fan for seven years, and they promised themselves they wouldn't date. They really wanted both. I'm unfollowing them.]

I don't think there's any need for those prayer beads anymore. If someone can so easily give away their first on-screen kiss in a game, who knows how wild they are in private? It's all talk and no action. [picking nose]

[Just a casual observer. What does Xu Zhaozhao have that makes her worthy of Gu Qingyan? He just wants to win, to finish the game. Don't overthink it.]

...

The scene at the scene wasn't much better than the comments section.

Although it was very quiet, the guests' faces displayed a mixed bag of expressions.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Li's eyes.

She and Sweetheart are the only real couple here, daring to kiss on the show. She also wanted to win the game, and this kiss was planned backstage.

Unexpectedly... Gu Qingyan actually gave away his first on-screen kiss on this variety show.

There's a reason why she and Gu Qingyan, who are both award-winning actresses and actors, have never collaborated on a single film.

Yuan Li's face is too flamboyant. Although she is beautiful, it also limits her acting roles. In several of her big-budget movies, she played charming but wicked women.

This inevitably leads to kissing and some steamy scenes.

Her sweetheart didn't mind, which is why she agreed to be with him.

Gu Qingyan doesn't accept kissing scenes or scenes with physical contact with actresses, something she's heard from more than one director.

Therefore, the two of them had no chance to work together.

The fact that Gu Qingyan kissed her on the show suggests that... Xu Zhaozhao has already won him over.

Yuan Li's gaze towards Xu Zhaozhao unconsciously carried a subtle admiration.

No wonder he has so many requirements for accepting roles; it turns out his wife is very strict with him!

Yu Yao and Qin Yueling had somber expressions, their eyes fixed intently on the stage.

The naive Tian Yixin, unfamiliar with the entertainment industry, looked at the two with surprise in her deep eyes and asked, "Are you two a real couple?"

? ? ?

Dangerous statement!!

"It will be."

"no."

A male voice and a female voice came out, answering Tian Yixin's question almost at the same time.

Whoever answers first gains the upper hand, and unfortunately, they both answered at the same time.

This left the naive Tian Yixin completely bewildered, and she scratched her head somewhat sheepishly.

Genri laughed out loud beside him.

Looks like Actor Gu hasn't won her over yet?

Her sweetheart is such a great help; we need to get Gu Qingyan to pay.

Xu Zhaozhao turned her head to meet Gu Qingyan's gaze, avoiding the camera, and secretly glared at him.

This kiss was already hard enough to explain, and this guy is still spouting nonsense!

Gu Qingyan met her gaze without fear, ignoring the warning in her eyes, and slowly and clearly repeated the two words he had just said.

"It will be."
