After cheating on the big boss, they went on a dating reality show together.
After lunch, the guests rested and did not appear on camera for the entire time.
Wenqin urgently needed to process some documents. He pushed open the door to a sea-view suite, where his male assistant quickly reported to him without any delay.
Although the show claims that guests are not allowed to contact the outside world, it is impossible for someone as busy as Wenqin to remain out of contact indefinitely.
Therefore, Wenqin also has his own specific "office" on this cruise ship.
Wenqin finished his work very quickly and asked about the progress of "Dream Love".
The assistant also dutifully said, "The online reviews about you are all very positive, Mr. Wen, there's no need to worry."
Wen Qin nodded and took a cup of coffee. "Where are the others?"
"Liang Di, Lin Xiaoke, and Yi Nanshan have teams controlling comments and guiding public opinion. Qi An'an... is now being cyberbullied. It is said that she used to bully others, and netizens are calling for her to leave the show."
After the assistant finished speaking, Wen Qin looked up, his deep eyes clouded with unreadable emotions. "Bullying?"
The assistant quickly found the video and played it for him.
"Just this one video?"
"Yes, in addition, some of her classmates have come forward to say that she used to be withdrawn and often skipped classes to fight, but... no victims have come forward yet, so the truth is still unknown."
"Hmm." Wenqin's eyes darkened. "You go ahead and get busy."
The assistant turned and left.
Wenqin put down his cup, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing an expensive watch.
With a snap, the watch strap came undone, revealing a hideous scar.
There was no mediocre person in his family. In order to reach their level, he put too much pressure on himself.
He didn't like to communicate with people in high school, so he didn't realize he was sick until that night when he cut himself with a knife.
The moment the blood spurted out, he felt no pain; he even felt a sense of relief, thinking that he was finally free.
But at one point, he realized that what he was doing was wrong.
His parents loved him very much; how heartbroken they would be if they lost him.
It was that moment of hesitation that led him to leave the bedroom, where the nanny saw him and alerted everyone.
He was taken to the hospital, and after his wounds were treated, his parents took him to see a psychologist.
With his full cooperation, it took him more than half a year of treatment to emerge from his depression.
He must have seen correctly yesterday; Qi An'an had also attempted suicide, and like him, she used a watch to cover up her past scars.
——
Qi An'an didn't go anywhere; she went up to the music room on the second floor by herself.
There was a Japanese-style tatami mat in the corner. She found a cushion to put under her waist and felt drowsy.
At the doorway, Qi Shen strode in, saying, "You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."
Qi An'an covered her eyes with her hand, "Mmm."
Qi Shen choked, "You really don't want to see me? If you had this attitude when I was pursuing you, we wouldn't have ended up together."
He has never liked forcing things.
"Young Master Qi, you were quite decisive when we broke up, so why are you dragging this out now?"
"..." Of course, it's because what you can't have is always the best.
Qi Shen leaned against the door, his dark eyes fixed on her, and lowered his voice slightly, "Can't I regret it?"
He was particularly fond of her type, to the point that he had absolutely no interest in other women.
Of course, he was more unwilling to accept it.
Qi An'an still didn't look at him, and said lazily, "I have no regrets."
Qi Shen sneered, "Then don't even think about finding a boyfriend on the show."
Qi An'an remained silent.
Oh wow, Qi Shen really can't forget his old flame!
They're a perfect match, let's stick with them!
[Please! Qi An'an, stop messing with the other male guests!]
[They really don't treat this like a live broadcast, right? They'll say anything??]
[Qi An'an doesn't seem to avoid the camera much...]
Fu Jiu will arrive at the battlefield in ten seconds—
Wow! It's those three again!
[It's confirmed! Qi An'an and Fu Jiu... they're definitely having an affair! My Dr. Fu, oh my god, that woman is going to ruin him!]
[What makes Qi An'an so special? I really want the guests to see the trending topics and see her true colors!]
[Wait a minute, why would someone as arrogant as Qi Shen be so infatuated with Qi An'an?]
Putting aside Qi An'an's past, she doesn't actually seem that unlikeable.
"Not going in?" Fu Jiu's voice rang out behind Qi Shen.
Qi Shen turned his head and saw him, feeling only bad luck.
This guy is quite good at pretending. He clearly still has feelings for Qi An'an, but he always pretends to be nonchalant!
If you're so capable, then let's have a fair competition!
Qi Shen went in, and Fu Jiu followed him in.
Qi An'an sat up, staring intently at Fu Jiu, her voice softening instantly, "I thought you were going back to rest."
If he doesn't need surgery, his daily routine is very normal.
"No." Fu Jiu stopped in front of her.
From the moment he came to find her, he had already made a certain decision.
He could not deny the secret desire in his heart.
Qi An'an came and went in his world so quickly that he didn't even have time to unravel her inner thoughts.
He wanted to pray for An'an, to get closer to her, and to understand her.
This... can be considered a kind of resolution.
Fu Jiu reached out her hand, "Want to go for a walk?"
Qi An'an stared blankly at the hand he offered.
What happened? Fu Jiu asked her to go for a walk? Under the camera's lens?
She felt she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
The lenses reflected the light, and she couldn't see his eyes clearly. While she hesitated, he had already bent down and taken her arm.
Qi An'an got up with his help.
Qi Shen, however, chimed in, "Let's do it together."
Qi An'an turned to look at him. Did this person have any sense of propriety at all?
Just then, footsteps came from outside. The three looked over and saw Wen Qin walking in slowly.
His gaze swept over the people in the room, finally landing on Qi An'an's face, and he asked in a low voice, "Why are you all here? Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Qi An'an: "..."
【Huhhhhh?! What's wrong with Wen Qin? Has he also been bewitched by Qi An'an?】
[Thrilling, exciting!!]
[Outrageous, he even said the same things as Dr. Fu]
【I don't understand the situation anymore!】
[Did Qi An'an get possessed by poppies?]
[Mr. Wen, wake up!]
[Someone should slap Dr. Fu and tell him to stop being so love-struck!]
[Isn't this scripted? Knowing full well that Qi An'an is a jerk, they still arranged for a male guest to interact with her. I'm not watching this show anymore!]
[Abandoned!]
I'm never watching this awful dating reality show again!
The comments were full of harsh words, but the number of online viewers actually increased.
Xiao Hei whispered in Qi An'an's ear, "Mission progress +20%!"
"Oh, everyone's here?" A clear, soft voice came from the doorway, and Liang Di walked in gracefully, holding her pipa in her hand.
She just checked her messages on her spare phone and found out that Qi An'an is currently being attacked online.
But... why are all three of them revolving around her?
Wenqin sensed the awkward atmosphere and replied, "Hmm, you want to practice?"
Liang Di nodded, "Anyway, I'm just killing time."
Wen Qin gave up a seat, then looked at Qi An'an, wanting to know what she was thinking.
However, he could not ignore the two menacing gazes beside him.
Qi Shen is one thing.
But why did Fu Jiu also...?
"Did I disturb you?" Liang Di noticed something was wrong with the group and asked nervously, "Shall I leave now?"
Since she asked that question, others felt awkward about actually kicking her out.
But with Qi Shen here, he was the type who wouldn't give face to anyone, so he simply said, "Then you can leave."
Liang Di: "..."
Her eyelashes trembled as she faced the camera at her most flattering angle, her eyes slightly red. She nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Even though Wen Qin had something he wanted to say to Qi An'an, he simply didn't know how to start in this atmosphere.
“It’s no trouble at all. You can practice your piano here. I’m going back to rest first.” He said, glancing at Qi An’an. “You look very tired. You should get some sleep too.”
Qi An'an: "Okay."
She felt that Wenqin's gaze seemed kinder than yesterday, but she couldn't find a reason. Could it be that he had fallen in love with her?
Liang Di silently put down the pipa, looking somewhat aggrieved, and followed Wen Qin away.
Poor Didi, she just wanted to practice the piano, but she was targeted by Qi An'an.
Qi Shen's mouth is so sharp! Didi, don't be sad, stay away from this kind of man!
[I'm drunk! Liang Di's come at the worst possible time. I wonder what Wen Qin is up to!]
How can you blame Didi? The practice room is a public space!
[Poor Didi, things will get better once Qi An'an leaves the show.]
To be honest, without Qi An'an, this show wouldn't be very interesting. Director Zhen won't let her go!
To be honest, I watched this for Qi An'an...
In the video, Qi An'an looks around and asks Fu Jiu, "Shall we...go back too?"
Fu Jiu: "Mm."
Ignoring Qi Shen, the two of them walked out of the music room one after the other.
Qi Shen stared at the two figures as they walked away, then sat down at the piano and began pressing the keys in a fit of rage.
Now that things have come to this, how could he not see that Qi An'an just wanted to go back to Fu Jiu?
What kind of woman couldn't Qi Shen have?
How dare Qi An'an be so shameless? Does she really want him to be her lapdog?
The piano music was so jarring that viewers in the live stream couldn't help but cover their ears.
Sea view room.
Yi Nanshan was fast asleep on the bed, the blanket had fallen to the ground, and his clothes were slightly rolled up, revealing his navel and well-defined abdominal muscles.
Qi An'an's gaze swept over them, pausing slightly for two seconds.
Fu Jiu silently picked up the blanket and casually covered Yi Nanshan with it.
Meeting her gaze, he explained, "So he doesn't catch a cold."
She nodded. "You're quite thoughtful."
This wasn't the first time Fu Jiu had heard her describe him like this. In fact, he didn't seem to have done anything for her, except occasionally tidying up her house, taking her out to dinner, watching incomprehensible TV shows and movies with her, and picking her up from her workplace...
It was just a trivial thing, but she seemed very touched.
It was clearly her who would cook delicious food for him in her spare time, visit him in the hospital, learn massage for him, prepare all sorts of surprise gifts for him, and even make his parents happy.
Qi An'an didn't want to change her clothes, so she simply went to sit down on the sofa.
Fu Jiu took a blanket from somewhere, handed it to her, and then sat down beside her.
"Thank you..." Qi An'an hugged the soft blanket and tentatively leaned closer to him.
He didn't dodge, but his body stiffened a bit.
She looked up at his profile, leaned her head closer, and said, as if taking advantage of the situation, "I'll lean on you for a while."
The viewers in the live stream went wild when they saw this!
Qi An'an is so daring!!
Is he going to start flirting right away?!
To be honest, Qi An'an's appearance is impeccable, so it's normal for male guests to pay attention to her, but Fu Jiu doesn't seem to be such a superficial person!
Can't he see what a filthy heart lies beneath Qi An'an's beautiful exterior?!
But, but the footage that came out was damn beautiful!
The two figures, backlit by the light, resembled a long-separated young couple, unable to resist drawing closer to each other... Even through the screen, viewers could feel the harmony and affection between them.
I don't know how much time has passed, but the camera angle to the ocean view room hasn't changed at all.
Yi Nanshan, who was fast asleep in the corner, lazily turned over and went back to sleep.
Qi An'an had also fallen asleep. To make herself more comfortable, she had moved away from Fu Jiu and nestled on the sofa.
The scene was frozen in time. Some viewers were getting tired of watching and were about to leave to watch another live stream when they suddenly saw Fu Jiu slowly turn her head and look at Qi An'an.
His natural gentleness seemed to have faded away.
He leaned towards Qi An'an, and under the light, the lines of his profile appeared particularly perfect, with an added touch of aggression.
Like a top predator, it lies in wait, silently watching its prey.
As he approached Qi An'an, his prominent Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his masculine hormones and sense of oppression seemed to overflow from the screen.
But soon, he raised his hand to pull the blanket that had slipped off Qi An'an, then turned his head away, leaving only a back view that made it impossible to see his emotions.
[Ahhh, Dr. Fu! Does anyone know? I really want to rip his glasses off!]
[She's such a great photographer! She could easily take photos like Qi An'an!]
[For his good looks alone, I can watch a little longer]
[Juejuezi, I've finally grasped Dr. Fu's charm!]
[Isn't this supposed to be an adult relationship? We've already taken our pants off, and you're showing me this?!]
[Sigh... Just that profile, that Adam's apple, is enough to create a high level of sexual tension...]
Based on Fu Jiu's little actions just now, the audience's interest was piqued, and the comment section was filled with "harmony," even suppressing the unkind comments from Qi An'an's haters.
Viewers who originally tuned in to the dating reality show were just looking to ship the couples and didn't pay much attention to the stories behind the guests.
However, Qi An'an has so many haters who are constantly criticizing her, making it hard for people not to pay attention to her.
When Qi An'an woke up, her back ached and her brain was still not fully activated when the production team dragged her to the assembly point.
Each guest must prepare a talent performance, and the audience will vote to rank them. The guests' rankings will affect tonight's dinner.
Tomorrow is the guests' first solo date, and the top-ranked guests will receive certain privileges.
Initially, everyone seemed uninterested when they heard about dinner, but after learning that it would affect their date the next day, they immediately started to take it seriously.
"Shall we still be assigned rooms like yesterday?" Hu Yiyi asked with concern.
"Yes."
After hearing the affirmative answer, Lin Xiaoke looked regretfully in Fu Jiu's direction and glared at Qi An'an.
She saw that video; Qi An'an is no good person!
However, she felt that the Qi An'an circulating online seemed quite different from the Qi An'an she knew.
Although Qi An'an is a jerk, she doesn't seem like the type to use violence...
At this moment, Qi An'an was racking her brains to think about the program she would perform later.
She was born into a family that favored sons over daughters, and as far back as she could remember, all she did was endless housework.
Her younger brother is only one year younger than her, and she never attended any extracurricular classes when she was in school.
However, she was responsible for picking up and dropping off her younger brother, so she usually finished her homework while waiting for him, and sometimes she would attend some classes on her own.
If we're talking about performances, there aren't any.
Fortunately, Qi An'an has special skills in other worlds, but she needs to find a more suitable one.
She was determined to win this first place, no matter what.
Lin Xiaoke volunteered to perform a piano piece, and Wen Qin, without any other thoughts, picked up his violin and played a duet with her.
The handsome man and beautiful woman, perfectly matched, were dazzling.
Liang Di regretted not going first. The two of them played quite well together; the music was cheerful and really heated up the atmosphere.
When it came to her pipa, it seemed a bit flimsy.
Everyone initially thought Qi Shen was just a spoiled brat, but he actually performed a ten-minute sketch, roughly drawing the living room.
Hu Yiyi immediately started dancing, and Yi Nanshan couldn't help but join in, instantly making the atmosphere lively.
Needless to say, Yi Nanshan performed a guitar and sang an impromptu love song, while keeping his eyes on Liang Di the entire time.
Her shy expression was so endearing that it was hard not to laugh.
How straightforward and innocent!
However, Liang Di is very troubled. She can create a CP with the male guests, but she can't be locked in by the audience!
Otherwise, she would definitely be criticized when she expresses affection for other male guests.
When it was Fu Jiu's turn, he was holding a carrot handed to him by a staff member.
Upon seeing this, Qi An'an remembered the various radish carvings she kept in her refrigerator...
It was she who discovered Fu Jiu's skill.
At that time, she only asked him to cut a carrot for her. When she finished cooking, she found that he had used the remaining carrot to carve a little rabbit.
"Wow, Fu Jiu, you're amazing."
"Wouldn't it be easier to carve if the knife were smaller?"
"Is it a little bunny? It's so cute!"
The girls all gathered around Fu Jiu, and Qi An'an also joined in.
Sure enough, Fu Jiu carved a little rabbit.
Because Qi An'an likes spicy rabbit heads, and because Fu Jiu often uses rabbits in his experiments...
"Can I have the rabbit? It's so cute~" Liang Di clasped her hands together and spoke softly to Fu Jiu.
Fu Jiu put the knife aside, still holding the little rabbit in her hand, and said, "I want to keep it as a souvenir."
Liang Di said regretfully, "Okay..."
The last performer was Qi An'an.
Facing numerous stares, she calmly said, "I'm very good at fighting."
Her words elicited various reactions from the crowd.
Fu Jiu noticed the expressions on the other people's faces, frowned slightly, and then quickly suppressed her doubt.
The battle began immediately in the live stream room—
【凸(艹皿艹) She still dares to say that!】
[Look at that! A violent freak, a shameless bully!]
Is Qi An'an here to stir up trouble? I can't help her anymore.
[Nothing left to wash. She can fight, and she's quite proud of it?]
[Wouldn't this set a bad example for minors? Why would Director Zhen have chosen her for this role?]
It seems minors are not allowed to enter this live stream.
[It's just a dating reality show, everyone's taking it too seriously. It's all baseless...]
[Isn't there a video? Her former classmates also said she had bipolar disorder and was violent.]
The living room fell silent for a moment.
Qi An'an asked, "What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"
Fu Jiu suddenly stepped forward, calmly rolling up the sleeves of his white shirt. His slender hands had distinct knuckles, and the veins on the back of his hands stretched all the way down to his forearms...
He has a naturally abstinent appearance, but at this moment he looks exactly like a refined scoundrel.
His gaze fell on Qi An'an through his glasses, and he said softly, "Give it a try."
Wen Qin stepped forward, his chiseled face bearing a faint smile. He slowly unbuttoned the top button of his collar, and with a threatening gesture, stretched his neck before asking Qi An'an, "How do you usually fight?"
Qi Shen was as agitated as a lone wolf, cracking his knuckles and saying fiercely, "Qi An'an, I think you're only good for getting beaten up."
Yi Nanshan: "?"
Did the three of them have a script, but he was the only one left out?
【Aaaaaah, is this even viewable?!】
Are they about to fight? Anyone who didn't know better would think they were about to commit some kind of violent act!
【Top-quality, all of them are top-quality!】
But they were all frantically circling around Qi An'an!
What's wrong with this world?
Sorry the screen got wet.
[Yi Nanshan looks completely bewildered, haha, so cute! He looks like the sun!]
Qi An'an stared at the three tall men in front of her, men who looked like they could kill her with a single punch, and remained silent: "..."
No, are they serious??
Then she'll be scared.
She coughed lightly, trying to appear calm, "At worst, you can all come at me together."
She pointed at Yi Nanshan, "Do you dare to come?"
Yi Nanshan was never one to resist being provoked, and immediately patted his chest and said, "What do I have to be afraid of? I can take on ten men by myself without a problem. I've even studied Taekwondo and Karate!"
Of course, that was when I was in kindergarten!
So Fu Jiu retreated back to the sofa, glanced at him, and said coolly, "Then you do it."
Wenqin sat down as well. "Yes, Nanshan is here."
Qi Shen looked at Yi Nanshan's expression, which seemed as if he had swallowed a fly, and sneered, "I'll give you a chance to show off."
Hu Yiyi patted the sofa and laughed loudly, "Yi Nanshan, you lose face whether you win or lose, what are you trying to achieve!"
Yi Nanshan's lips twitched. Very well, they were just trying to trick him!
Seeing his predicament, Liang Di quickly chimed in, "Let it go. Fighting on the show isn't a good look. What if someone gets hurt?"
Lin Xiaoke also said stiffly, "Yes, fighting is bad."
If Qi An'an doesn't perform well again, she'll definitely be kicked out by Zhen Li, and Fu Jiu might have to leave too... Wouldn't that mean all her efforts would be for nothing?
What a waste of time! "How about I demonstrate an over-the-shoulder throw for everyone?"
Qi An'an naturally didn't really want to fight.
Yi Nanshan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Alright, alright, you perform."
But why is she still staring at him...?
Qi An'an walked towards him and said, "Come over here, there's a cushion, it won't hurt."
Yi Nanshan: "???"
"No, are you going to throw me?"
Qi An'an: "It's also possible that you won't fall."
Yi Nanshan thought so too. She looked thin and frail, so she shouldn't be able to hurt him. He had already stepped forward, so it wouldn't hurt to cooperate with her.
So he nodded and said with a righteous air, "Okay, let's go."
Almost the instant he finished speaking, the girl grabbed his arm, and before he could react, the world spun around him—
With a "thud," he fell to the ground, his vision filled with Qi An'an, who was right in front of him, and the ceiling.
Soft strands of hair brushed against his cheeks, carrying a delicate fragrance.
Her face was extremely beautiful; even from this angle of death, looking up from below, he couldn't find a single flaw in her.
Her eyes were like the starry sky, sparkling with starlight; her eyelashes were long and thick…
"Yi Nanshan, are you alright? Does it hurt a lot?" Her voice was filled with concern.
Yi Nanshan's heart was pounding violently.
"N-nothing."
He had barely finished speaking when the girl who was supporting him was forcibly pulled away by a hand.
