Chapter 10 So, who are you here to date?
Cheng Luanxin pouted: "Yes, I do like Du Zhiruo, didn't you know that a long time ago?"
Although Song Qiuchi knew it, she didn't understand why she could be so devoted to one person for so many years.
After all, she couldn't even see her own feelings clearly.
"Why?"
"Why? Of course it's because Zhiruo treats me well. You know our family situation..." Cheng Luanxin's voice became smaller and smaller. "Don't look at me like this now. In fact, when I was in school, I was somewhat inferior..."
Song Qiuchi had a general understanding of Cheng Luanxin's family situation. She had come across her profile while helping her teacher collect information on impoverished students at the school. At the time, she attended a prestigious high school, where most of the students were from wealthy families, having earned their keep. Only a handful of students came from ordinary families, both academically and morally excellent. Cheng Luanxin was one of them.
She had also heard rumors that Cheng Luanxin's mother had gotten pregnant out of wedlock, left home after giving birth, and never returned. Cheng Luanxin's only relative was her grandmother, an old lady who sold old-fashioned perfumes at a stall and didn't make much money a month.
Cheng Luanxin was indeed a hard-working person, always achieving top marks in exams, which inevitably attracted envy. Back then, Cheng Luanxin was much shorter than she is now, just over 1.5 meters. Many people used her height to mock her, saying that she would definitely become an N-level Omega after her second differentiation, and that she might end up being frail and sickly, ultimately having to live with an S-level Alpha.
Of course, Cheng Luanxin successfully slapped everyone in the face after her differentiation. She differentiated into a rare SS-level Omega.
"I know you all looked down on me back then, and I understand that. After all, I was unsophisticated back then, and I was just ignorant compared to you. But Zhiruo is different. She patiently explains things I don't understand, and even shares her favorite things with me. She treats me better than any of you, so why wouldn't I like her?"
Having said that, it seems that I can understand it.
Song Qiuchi paused: "I don't look down on you."
"But you always go against me!" Cheng Luanxin glared at Song Qiuchi, "Even now!"
Song Qiuchi was helpless: "I didn't..."
Cheng Luanxin: "Don't quibble. I know you like Zhiruo too. I hope you can compete with me openly after the show and stop messing with me behind my back, okay?"
Song Qiuchi: "...If you think so, I can't help it."
Cheng Luanxin: "..."
Cheng Luanxin: "Could you please stop being such a straight-woman?!"
After talking for a long time, the two finally reached an agreement - they both put their thoughts on Du Zhiruo aside for the time being, and cooperated with the program crew to promote their relationship during the body swap.
Although Song Qiuchi doesn't seem to have any feelings for Du Zhiruo now.
But she didn't intend to tell Cheng Luanxin. After all, what Du Zhiruo did was a very private matter, and she didn't like gossiping about others behind their backs.
The first day of joining the group ended like this.
The next morning, the guests received the shooting tasks from the program team.
Three Alphas will invite their current crushes to plan three dates. If multiple people choose the same crush, the crush can make a counter-selection. If there is no crush at the moment, they can also choose to give up. Guests who are not successfully invited or are not invited can move freely.
Of course, all project experiences in the date need to be realized through rose tokens.
Cheng Luanxin had plenty of rose tokens, so it was stress-free. Planning a date wasn't difficult either; the script Yu Peiyin had given her was filled with templates, so all she had to do was follow it.
It was quite difficult to ask Song Qiuchi out on a date in front of Du Zhiruo. The production team had to arrange room sharing, which was really inhumane.
By the time Cheng Luanxin finished dressing up, the director and photographer had already been waiting at the door for a long time. Cheng Luanxin apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were waiting for me."
The director smiled and said, "It's okay. Who is Qiu Chi going to invite on a date today?"
Cheng Luanxin answered according to the script: "I plan to meet with Luanxin first today. After all, I'm not very familiar with the other guests... Is it live now?"
The photographer nodded.
Cheng Luanxin greeted the camera: "Good morning everyone, today I want to invite Cheng Luanxin out on a date."
Barrage:
"Good morning, honey! You look so beautiful today too!!"
"I knew Qiu Chi would ask Luan Bao out!!! Chi Xin's secret promise is true!!!"
"But if Cheng Luanxin and Du Zhiruo live together, it feels like a Shura field.
"Wow, why aren't you showing the footage in the room right now? This romantic observer wants to observe from all angles."
Cheng Luanxin went upstairs to the door of Song Qiuchi's room and shamelessly flattered herself: "Actually, I'm a little nervous. Am I too late? Has Luanxin already been asked out by someone else?"
Director: "Why don't you just knock on the door and find out?"
Cheng Luanxin: "Then I knocked on the door."
She knocked on the door three times, and a familiar voice came from inside: "I'm coming."
Cheng Luanxin mouthed towards the camera: "Still there."
Song Qiuchi opened the door a crack and smiled faintly: "I guess it's you, do you want to come in and sit down?"
Hearing this, Du Zhiruo also came to the door and said with a smile, "Good morning. I was just wondering with Luanxin whether you would come over, but you showed up before we could finish. So, who are you here to meet?"
It can be seen that both of them attach great importance to today's date. They have changed their clothes and put on exquisite makeup.
However, today's choice has been made, and Cheng Luanxin can only invite Song Qiuchi.
She felt a little embarrassed to look at Du Zhiruo, but then she thought, since she was playing the role of Song Qiuchi today, it would be Song Qiuchi's fault no matter who she dated.
Cheng Luanxin calmed down and said, "Good morning. Um, I'm here to meet Luanxin today."
"Is that so?" Du Zhiruo seemed a little disappointed, but still smiled, "I wish you a successful date."
Song Qiuchi: "Then shall we set off now?"
Cheng Luanxin couldn't bear to see Du Zhiruo's lost expression, and she wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible, so she nodded quickly: "Okay."
According to the script Yu Peiyin had given them, their first date was to go to their alma mater, Mingxin Private High School. Since it was summer vacation, it wouldn't affect the school's normal teaching and learning activities.
Cheng Luanxin exchanged a rose token for the use of the nanny car, and the two went to Mingxin Private High School.
As they got in the car, Cheng Luanxin sighed, "I never thought that taking a car would require tokens. Luckily, we two have a lot of rose tokens. If we didn't, wouldn't we have to date in the villa?"
Song Qiuchi: "You'd better save some money. There are only four outdoor shoots with all the cast. Later on, when other guests become more popular, tokens won't be so easy to get."
"I'm not extravagant or wasteful either." Cheng Luanxin began to talk to Song Qiuchi according to the script. "I can't believe time has passed so quickly. We've known each other for eight years. Do you still remember your first impression of me?"
Song Qiuchi thought for a moment and said, "She has very fair skin, is very tall, a bit aloof, quiet, and doesn't like to talk much."
Cheng Luanxin followed the script and complained about herself: "You are just the opposite. You are very short and talk a lot."
Barrage:
"Hahahaha, is that so? Why do I feel like their personalities are becoming more opposite now?"
"U1s1 Song Qiuchi's private life does not match her aloof personality, but she is quite interesting."
"Weren't they deskmates in high school? Why don't you elaborate?"
After obtaining permission to film from the security guard, the two successfully entered the campus.
Several years after graduation, the campus remains vibrant and lush. Aside from the dormitories being renovated, little else has changed. Even the sign at the entrance, hailing the outstanding graduates, bears their photos and names. They found their familiar classroom, Class 7, Grade 1, and took their old seats.
Cheng Luanxin tapped the tabletop rhythmically with her fingertips. "We only sat at the same table during the first semester of our freshman year, right?"
Song Qiuchi nodded: "Yes, because you are too tall and always block the students in the back row, Teacher Xu moved you to the back row."
Cheng Luanxin held her chin and said, "I haven't seen Teacher Xu for a long time. I don't know how she is doing now."
Teacher Xu was the two students' homeroom teacher in high school. He had just graduated from graduate school at that time and was not much older than his students. He got along very well with them.
Song Qiuchi: "I have her circle of friends. She just got married a while ago and is doing well now."
Cheng Luanxin leaned over: "Really? Let me see it too."
There was a set of wedding photos on the phone screen. Teacher Xu was standing next to another lady. Both of them were wearing white wedding dresses. They were moving intimately, smiling brightly, and looked very well matched.
Cheng Luan thought for a moment, then tilted her head to look at Song Qiuchi before asking, "I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, why did you choose to participate in this show?"
Song Qiuchi thought for a moment: "As for me, I still want to get to know more people from different circles. As you know, I used to be an independent musician. I just signed a contract not long ago, so my circle is relatively small."
Cheng Luanxin: "You just want to expand your social circle, not to fall in love?"
Song Qiuchi: "That's not the case. It would be best if I could meet the right person. What about you? You don't seem like someone who would participate in this kind of show."
Cheng Luanxin: "I watched the first season of "Romance to You" and thought the show had a great rhythm, so I wanted to give it a try. After all, I don't have any experience in love, and I didn't expect to meet you."
Song Qiuchi smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you, so why did you think of asking me out today?"
Cheng Luanxin smiled shyly: "It's only after coming here that I realized that I'm more comfortable with you."
Barrage:
"Wow, does that count as a confession?!"
"Then why are you still so reserved? Why don't you two just talk about it!"
"Together, together, together"
Little did he know that Cheng Luanxin was almost poisoned by this conversation. What about broadening the social circle and having a good sense of rhythm? It sounded very reasonable, but in fact, wasn't he just here to pursue Du Zhiruo?
Now, not only did Du Zhiruo fail to win her over, but the two of them still had to put on an act here. Life was really too difficult.
At this time, a staff member came in with two sets of school uniforms and said something to the director. The director smiled at the two of them and said, "Now that we're finally back to school, why don't we change into our uniforms and play some interactive games?"
