Bloody wind and snow metaphor
During the days of filming, in order to keep the guests in good spirits, the production team asked them not to look at online opinions.
To this day, Ding Xuefei still doesn't know anything about his romantic partner.
What are you all shipping? Has anyone noticed his relationship with Yu Songlin?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. Ding Xuefei hesitated for a while and decided to check the wind direction herself first.
Switch to my alternate account and go into the show's super topic. At first glance, you'll find all sorts of fanfiction. Everyone here is good-looking and has high emotional intelligence, and all the combinations are great for shipping.
The first result of searching for "Ding Xuefei and Yu Songlin" is "Do Ding Xuefei and Yu Songlin really know each other?".
When you click on it, the replies are either "I don't know you" or "I'll definitely know you next time".
Very good, Ding Xuefei returned home satisfied.
Just as Ding Xuefei was about to switch to playing a game, she received a message from her former teammates' group chat. It was a link to a post titled, "Am I the only one shipping this couple?"
Main post: This couple is so good-looking that you could ship them to death. They have amazing chemistry just by standing together. If you agree, please breathe!

1L: Same number, urology department
2L: I'd heard before that some people like to breathe air, but today I finally saw a real one.
3L: OP, you don't think DXF is a [flower], do you? Please don't question the value of YLQ's last alpha title. OP, go look up gender dysphoria.
4L: Where did this chemistry come from? My movie star brother is all the rage.
5L: Hey upstairs, stop making me laugh. You want to be all alone on a dating reality show? Ask your idol what he says!
6L: That means don't be too good at cooking, Emperor Shui. He comes in and immediately starts cooking. As the saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
7L: Is the person upstairs shipping them or mocking them? Can I have a bite? Ding is eating so deliciously...
8L: Ding's fans are running away so fast. Don't they know who relies on their talent and who relies on their on-screen pairing?
9L: Don't speak too soon, upstairs. Don't cry when your brother takes the initiative to give you sweet moments later!
10L (Original Poster): The preview says [Fish] and [Snow] won't be in the same group next time, but they'll be sitting together for dinner tonight, which is good for my eyes. Looking forward to their interaction.
11L: (Replying to 7L) I'll return this to you verbatim.
(fight)
110L: Just a passerby, no offense intended, I just think they look really good together, what are the fans even talking about?
111L: Exactly! I don't see any resource conflict between the two handsome guys, so I don't know why their fans are so hostile. If you ask me, this is the only couple on the show with any hope of breaking out. What are they doing now?
112L: Don't speak too soon. If your brother starts selling himself, won't you be embarrassed?
113L: (Reply to 112L) Since it's all just a dream, why not dream big? If your brother falls in love with you, won't you feel awkward?
114L: (Replying to 113L) Bullshit! dxf is definitely straight! He has an ex-girlfriend!
115L: (Replying to 113L) Did you see the trailer? [Fish] said it himself, he likes cute things, so you can confirm that it has absolutely nothing to do with [Snow].
116L: (Reply to 114L) Oh my, don't make me laugh. You usually don't admit to having an ex-girlfriend, but now you're dragging her out to clarify your sexual orientation, right?
117L: Speaking of which, these two handsome guys don't seem to have any resource conflicts or anything, so why are their fans so hostile?
118L: (Replying to 117L) Could it be... that the toxic fan only breaks down for the real sister-in-law...?
119L: I couldn't ship them before, but after you toxic fans scolded me, I've rebelled and I'm going to ship them! I'm going to be a battlefield rose!
120L: #Strongly defend ylq's right to have the last alpha be 0#
(Fighting & picking up candy amidst the chaos of war)
220L: By the way, does this CP have a name? Is there a CP supertopic that we can explore?
221L: (Reply to 220L) How about "Xingfengxueyu"?
222L: (Replying to 221L) Absolutely amazing!
223L: (Reply to 221L) Genius, I'm jealous of your talent.
224L: (Reply to 221L) It can be said that it was tailor-made for the fans of both sides. I'm shipping Xingfengxueyu, and I'm also shipping Yusi and Xuesi. Love should be evenly matched!
Xia Xingye posted the link and added, "Brother Fei, this is hilarious," but Ding Xuefei couldn't laugh.
The good news is that nobody thinks they're ex-boyfriends; the bad news is that there's a group of people expecting them to engage in bromance.
The good news is that die-hard fans think it's a men's health issue; the bad news is that casual viewers think it's a good ship.
The good news is there's not a single bit of real sugar; the bad news is it's coming soon.
The good news is that his fans think he's straight, so even if they create a CP (couple pairing) between him, he can only be the top. The bad news is that he's actually a bottom.
He had no idea how chaotic things would get after the handcuff episode aired... probably as chaotic as their couple name.
Ding Xuefei sent a "speechless" emoji in the group chat.
Xia Xingye: My brother's physique is such that he only becomes popular among men, not among men and women. Wow!
Ding Xuefei: [Do you want this good fortune? .jpg]
Cheng Luo: I saw that Elio went there these past two days. Fei Ge, are you alright?
Xia Xingye: Yeah, I saw you two went on a date yesterday, and netizens started shipping you again.
Ding Xuefei: There's nothing I can do, I can't control whether others kowtow or not.
Lu Huai: The old way, you find someone else to sell your wheat bran (a type of wheat bran), and sell it even better than him, then nobody will care about your pairing with him.
Ding Xuefei: [Sweating Soybean] Can't you say something useful? You guys never come.
Xia Xingye: Why aren't you coming? I'll go tomorrow and beat Elio up!
Lu Huai: When we get there, we'll first find out who Xuefei's ex was.
Cheng Luo: [The cat nods]
Ding Xuefei: [Speechless] Thank you all!
Meanwhile, a Weibo post with no caption and only two GIFs is being shared wildly.
"What a perfect match, two faces! [heart emoji]"
"I'll secretly take a sip, DW, please don't hit me."
A popular fan named "Xuefei's Xiugou" silently reposted this Weibo post.
This fan has a certain status in the circle because they can spend money and don't cause trouble, and many fans who were hesitant to ship them have also shared it.
When the die-hard fans saw this, they found that the feedback from the cute fans was quite good, and this CP really didn't have any CP chemistry. Compared to other CPs, their own CP wouldn't be at a disadvantage and it would be easier to break up the pairing. So, for the sake of their idol, they gritted their teeth and pressed the forward button.
The movie star's biggest fan, with perfect understanding, swiftly grasped Xue Si's point and quietly reached a peace agreement, then pressed the retweet button...
Thus, the "Xingfengxueyu" couple, despite having almost zero interaction in the first episode, successfully attracted the first wave of attention.

In the evening, everyone returned to the Heartbeat House one after another, and the production team arranged an indispensable segment for dating reality shows—Truth or Dare.
To be precise, it's all about telling the truth; the production team made that clear to everyone beforehand to increase the show's appeal.
It was already dark outside. Eight people sat around a soft carpet, the lights dimmed to a soft ambiance. Stella mixed some drinks, and the empty bottles became the pointers that determined their fate.
Ding Xuefei has never liked playing this game. He's not proud and won't easily tell the truth, so when he had to play this game during his student days, he always chose Truth or Dare.
Now he can't be too willful on the show, so he can only pray that the questions he's asked won't be difficult to answer.
The game has officially begun.
The first one to be targeted was Bai Mu, with Xu Yimeng asking the question. She winked mischievously and said, "Brother Bai, I've been curious about you for a long time! You've always been so gentle and considerate. May I ask how many relationships you've had, and how long was the longest one?"
Bai Mu pushed up his glasses with a slightly embarrassed look: "Three times. The longest period... five years."
Everyone gasped in amazement, and Xu Yimeng covered her mouth: "Five years! That's a long-lasting commitment!"
Ke Ran: "But if it's Brother Bai, then it's somewhat plausible."
Ding Xuefei kept his presence even more discreet. Help! If he were asked that question, he definitely wouldn't be able to act as calmly as Bai Mu.
Why is the first question about your ex?
Bai Mu took the bottle, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next person to be chosen. This time it was Stella.
Bai Mu didn't hesitate for long. He said, "Then I'll ask a question on behalf of everyone: Stella, what type of girl do you like?"
Stella tossed her hair and replied generously, "As for my type... I like someone who makes me admire them, someone gentle, but preferably a little challenging. I don't like someone too easy to get, but most importantly, of course, they have to be good-looking!"
Xu Yimeng: "Wow, this is all true! I can vouch for it!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Stella's gaze landed meaningfully on someone, but that person didn't react at all.
Ding Xuefei was probably the only one who noticed this eye contact. Was it based on what Yu Songlin had said?
Stella wasn't disappointed. She picked up the bottle and started spinning it. This time, the bottle spun for a long time, wobbling for a while before finally sliding past Shang Rou and aiming at Ding Xuefei.
Ding Xuefei nervously looked up at Stella, trying to ask for help with her eyes, but it was no use.
Stella: "Xuefei, when I first met you, I thought you were a top-tier alpha. Later, I found out you're actually a beta. I've witnessed all those dramatic love triangles without getting a ripple. Now that we've known each other for a while, I think you even have some omega potential..."
Xu Yimeng burst into laughter upon hearing this, and Elio's expression also changed slightly.
Ding Xuefei: What nonsense! The last time I heard this was in high school physics class.
What do you mean?
Stella smiled and reached out to hook Ding Xuefei's chin, laughing, "Do you understand, female Alpha and male Omega?"
Ding Xuefei: ?
Yu Songlin stared intently at him, his gaze unreadable, but clearly hostile.
Did he get jealous seeing Stella interact with him? Does he also have feelings for Stella?
[You silly owner! You've been teased!]
Ding Xuefei: ! If Xiaotian hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have realized it.
He turned and broke free from Stella's grasp, deliberately saying, "Is this your problem? Then I don't understand."
Stella laughed: "What a joke! I'll let you off the hook this time. Tell me, what type do you like?"
Ding Xuefei hadn't really thought about this question. She subconsciously looked at Yu Songlin, caught his curious gaze, and quickly looked away.
“I’m curious too!” Elio said at the opportune moment.
Ding Xuefei was startled. How could she have almost forgotten about this guy? This issue is crucial. If he doesn't say the opposite of Elio, he will definitely be exposed and scrutinized with a magnifying glass in the future!
To be honest, he likes women who are independent, quiet, reserved, and good at cooking. But that's not ideal; they're a bit like Yu Songlin…
The question is, what kind of answer would be positive but also not fit either Yu Songlin or Elio?
Ding Xuefei was completely unsure of what to do, as her problem-solving approach had changed entirely. After racking her brains, she finally came up with an idea!
"I like people who are older than me."
Everyone was somewhat surprised by these words.
Stella: "Is there anything else?"
Ding Xuefei: "That's all!"
Elio dropped the pistachio from her hand to the ground.
Yu Songlin, being a movie star after all, momentarily froze, but quickly regained his composure. He smiled, but gritted his teeth: "Brother Xuefei really needs to be taken care of."
Ding Xuefei: "I don't want to be taken care of; I just like people older than me."
Xu Yimeng: "Wow, that's really special."
Yu Songlin was still smiling, but his knuckles, clenched into a fist, had turned slightly white.
Ding Xuefei subconsciously felt nervous, then breathed a sigh of relief: Oh, they're no longer dating, so Yu Songlin can't do anything to him.
In the past, you wouldn't be able to sleep before 2 a.m.
