Chapter 43 Exchange Partners



The female guests are not allowed to give any hints when the male guests are choosing gifts.

Zhuang Yan scanned the gifts in front of him one by one and could already guess who each one belonged to.

An Xinrong has been drawing since she was a child, and she has even shared her work on Weibo. This cartoon drawing is clearly something she prepared.

The wreath was made by Jiang Ning. Seeing this wreath woven from wildflowers, Zhuang Yan was lost in memories. Jiang Ning loved acting when she was a child. She liked to play fairies on TV. Not only did she act herself, but she also dragged Zhuang Yan into the supporting role. In order to make her happy, Zhuang Yan learned to weave wreaths and put the wreath full of wildflowers on her head.

Zhuang Yan taught Jiang Ning how to weave this wreath. While he was looking at the wreath, Jiang Ning was also carefully watching him.

Do you still remember Zhuang Yan?

If he guesses that she made the wreath, will he choose her?

Zhuang Yan looked at the bracelet on the far side. Unsurprisingly, it was made by Lu Yan, a bracelet hand-woven with several colorful ropes.

The three grown men stared at the card in front of them, all deep in thought, but none of them made a move.

An Xinrong's gaze kept falling on Zhuang Yan. Afraid of being discovered, she would occasionally look away to look at other places and exchange a few words with Jiang Ning beside her.

Jiang Ning appeared to be talking to An Xinrong, but in reality, she was keeping a close eye on Zhuang Yan's movements.

Only Lu Yan sat lazily in a wicker chair, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, with a plate of grapes in front of her. She ate grapes while fanning herself, occasionally glancing at the gifts on the table. She wasn't worried at all about who would choose her gift.

After waiting for a long time without the man opposite her making a move, she asked, "Is it hard to choose?"

Zhuang Yan picked up the painting directly: "I choose this one."

An Xinrong's pupils contracted.

Seeing the change in An Xinrong's expression, Fang Chen immediately reached out his hand: "I want this painting too."

He thought Zhuang Yan would also give him the courtesy this time, but Zhuang Yan's hand remained on the painting without moving. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat subtle.

Is this a robbery? The start is so exciting!

Who painted this picture?

[Was this painted by An Xinrong? I saw her post some of her paintings on Weibo before; she likes to paint.]

[Go Chen An CP! Zhuang Yan, get lost!]

[What are you trying to steal? Do you even have the right to steal? They're going in both directions.]

[That's not entirely true. Zhuang Yan was first in line for completing the mission, so he should have been the first to choose. He already gave up the date location once before.]

Neither of them wanted to let go, so Ling Xuan suggested, "Why don't you play rock-paper-scissors?"

Zhuang Yan agreed. He chose this painting entirely to avoid Jiang Ning and Lu Yan, and he didn't care if he lost.

"One game decides the outcome."

Both men extended their hands simultaneously, scissors against fists. Zhuang Yan, who threw the punch, won, and the painting belonged to him.

Fang Chen's face darkened.

Next, between the bracelet and the wreath, Fang Chen chose the bracelet. Compared to the wreath, the bracelet was more mature and looked more like something Lu Yan would make.

Ling Xuan chose the flower wreath.

The director announced the results.

The cartoon was drawn by An Xinrong herself, the wreath was made by Jiang Ning, and the bracelet was made by Lu Yan.

Upon hearing the result, Fang Chen was still unhappy, even though he had prepared himself mentally. Fortunately, he was used to hiding his expression.

An Xinrong and he chose each other, so what's going on with Zhuang Yan interfering now?

An Xinrong kept her head down and remained silent, and everyone wondered if she was unhappy.

An Xinrong's current feelings were hard to describe; she was a little happy, a little flustered, and a little expectant... Was she being a fool? Zhuang Yan was Xia Wan's ex-fiancé, so what was the meaning of dating her now? If Xia Wan saw this, she might just call the staff directly.

An Xinrong stared at the camera in front of her, gritting her teeth as she considered whether she should throw a tantrum and ask the director to change her date, replacing Zhuang Yan with Fang Chen.

Wouldn't that be too much trouble for the production team?

Will the audience hate her?

An Xinrong was at her wits' end and gradually became anxious and restless.

She really didn't expect Zhuang Yan to choose her painting. She didn't know if he picked it randomly or if he had guessed it was her. Just thinking about the heart-fluttering text message Zhuang Yan sent her last night made her heart start racing again.

An Xinrong looked up at Zhuang Yan, and their eyes suddenly met. Her heart skipped a beat.

What should I do? Am I really going on a date with Zhuang Yan tomorrow?

Where are they going on their date tomorrow? What clothes should she wear, what time should she get up, what makeup should she put on, and what should they eat? Should she respond if Zhuang Yan talks to her?

Just as An Xinrong was hesitating, Lu Yan spoke up: "Director, I want to use the exchange card."

An Xinrong was completely stunned. She turned her head and saw Lu Yan take out a card and hand it to the director.

That was a reward for harvesting rice, which could be used to exchange for a date.

If Lu Yan is to be used today, then who will she replace?

An Xinrong's throat tightened, feeling inexplicably depressed. She had a gut feeling that Lu Yan would choose Zhuang Yan.

[I almost forgot about the exchange card. Is Lu Yan going to use it so soon? Who will she exchange it for?]

[Her date is Fang Chen, isn't that great? Why would she change? Of the three men, Fang Chen is the best match.]

[Is Lu Yan going to be replaced by Zhuang Yan? No way...]

The director took it with a smile: "Who do you want to replace?"

Lu Yan raised her hand and slowly pointed at Zhuang Yan: "Change to Zhuang Yan."
