After cheating on the big boss, they went on a dating reality show together.
After Qi An'an accepted Fu Jiu's invitation, Yi Nanshan still chose Liang Di.
Therefore, the remaining two pairs are no surprise at all.
However, we still have to go through the motions.
Wen Qin had just invited Qi An'an in front of everyone, and now everyone is embarrassed for him.
Wen Qin, however, remained quite calm. He looked at Lin Xiaoke and said, "Miss Lin, would you like to have dinner together?"
Lin Xiaoke really wanted to refuse; in what way was she inferior to Qi An'an?
However, she knew very well that if she refused Wen Qin, she might go hungry, so she obediently nodded and said, "Okay."
On the way to the restaurant, Hu Yiyi and Qi Shen lagged behind. Because the passage was narrow, no cameras captured them.
She simply turned off the microphone.
Qi Shen was shut down a long time ago; he did this kind of thing all the time.
Hu Yiyi looked up at him, smiling, and said, "In terms of competitiveness, you can't beat them." Qi Shen suddenly looked at her, his sharp eyes showing a hint of displeasure. "What do you mean?"
Hu Yiyi: "Don't you know very well in your heart? Compared to the gentle and low-key Fu Jiu and the calm and elegant Wen Qin, you, a proud young master who has tasted all kinds of beauties, are not even loved by the audience."
Qi Shen: "..."
Enraged, he reached out to her, but she ran away as fast as a rabbit.
Qi Shen followed with a dark expression and arrived at the restaurant.
The Western restaurant was divided into several areas, allowing the four couples to see each other clearly.
Qi An'an was the focus of many eyes, from staff members and guests.
She ignored it and began to enjoy her seafood feast.
Just as Fu Jiu was about to pick up the disposable gloves, Qi An'an took them first, saying, "I'll peel them. I'm the best at peeling shrimp."
Fu Jiu's hand was still hanging in the air. Hearing her words, he seemed to remember something and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth. The smile in his eyes and brows became more tangible, as if spring snow was melting.
Qi An'an stared in disbelief; he was truly handsome.
"I'll do it."
In the two seconds she was in a daze, he had already taken the gloves.
Qi An'an is a great cook, so naturally she can peel shrimp too.
However, she is no match for him.
They once had a competition to peel crayfish, and she almost cried because he was so fast.
Thinking about what happened online, his eyes suddenly darkened again.
He thought it was just a regular dating reality show, and since it was supposed to be a closed program requiring communication tools, he didn't think much of it.
His life was quite secluded; he was the kind of person who could live a carefree life even without the internet. However, he discovered that some guests had special privileges. For example, Wen Qin had his own office, Lin Xiaoke treated the place like her own home, and Qi Shen and Zhen Li were old acquaintances... As for the others, perhaps they were all hiding their phones.
Only he and Qi An'an were the most honest.
Fu Jiu went to see Zhen Li during the day. Zhen Li told him without reservation about Qi An'an being cyberbullied and even showed him a video of her leaving a bar.
Fu Jiu didn't believe she was immoral, nor did he believe she would bully others.
Someone must be deliberately trying to smear her.
“I don’t believe Qi An’an is that kind of person either, so the investigation is still ongoing. We’re just a little short on evidence… Fu Jiu, we can actually have a win-win-win situation: Qi An’an becomes an overnight sensation, my show becomes a huge hit, and you win the heart of the beauty. The condition is that you listen to me.” Zhen Li said to him.
Fu Jiu left without agreeing to anything.
He didn't believe Zhen Li would genuinely consider others' feelings; all Zhen Li ever wanted was attention and popularity.
Fu Jiu silently peeled the shrimp, and soon a pile of tender shrimp meat appeared in front of Qi An'an.
She ate until her stomach was completely full.
The two's live streams were also more harmonious than ever before.
An'an must be starving, eat more!
Thankfully, they were offline and knew nothing... otherwise, An'an would have suffered a tremendous shock.
[Dr. Fu's hands, scha scha]
[Anjiu CP is locked in]
[Thank goodness I came to check; I had no idea you guys were eating so well without me knowing!]
Seeing An'an like this now, I can finally rest easy, but those perpetrators should go to jail!
It's hard to imagine that a girl like this would be isolated and bullied... Those people are just jealous.
But it's difficult for ordinary people to empathize with the mindset of bullies.
After dinner, Zhen Li appeared.
He came personally to announce the rules for tomorrow's guest pairing dates.
Qi An'an looked at the bluish stubble on his lips and thought to herself that being a director must be hard work, he aged so much in just one day.
Zhen Li's gaze swept over all the guests, lingering on Qi An'an's face for an extra second.
It seems that dinner was to her liking; her complexion was rosy after eating...
With a cold expression, he began to state, "Tomorrow is the guests' first pairing date. The four male guests will now draw lots. If they draw someone they will have dinner with today, they will need to draw again. Fu Jiu, who is ranked first in today's votes, has the right to draw first."
"..."
"..."
What followed was utter silence.
No, is Zhen Li out of her mind?
Are the male and female guests who had dinner together tonight now prohibited from pairing up for dates?
Qi An'an was also dumbfounded. Didn't that mean she had to watch Fu Jiu go on a date with other female guests?
“A dog, Zhen Li is a dog,” Xiao Hei said angrily.
[The director, Zhen, is still as dog-like as ever.]
But I love watching it, hahaha!
[Laughing Mouse, the Anjiu CP is about to be broken up]
[Why is it so funny to see Dr. Fu with a cold expression for the first time?]
So Fu Jiu being ranked first is useless anyway, since he can't go on a date with An An...
[Looking forward to this chaotic mix of couples! With Director Zhen around, there's no way any pairings will be locked in!]
So, the person you sleep with at night is different from the person you date during the day? That's clever.
Qi An'an didn't know who had drawn her name; the production team hadn't announced it, and even the male guest himself didn't know, making it all very mysterious.
But when they returned to their room, Xiao Hei whispered in Qi An'an's ear, "An'an, Qi Shen drew your name."
What about Fu Jiu? Who did he draw?
Xiao Hei: "Hu Yiyi".
Qi An'an returned to the sea-view room first. The male guest was left behind by the director, seemingly to discuss the location for tomorrow's date. The production team also needed to negotiate and set up the cameras in advance.
While she was taking a shower, the four male guests had already finished their discussion.
Fu Jiu left with Wen Qin.
Wen Qin stopped in front of a door, turned around and looked at him, "You...is there something you need?"
As Fu Jiu removed the microphone, she gestured to the room behind him, "Let's go inside and talk."
Wen Qin nodded helplessly and pushed open the door.
Upon seeing Fu Jiu, the assistant swallowed back the matter he was about to report.
Wenqin asked, "Is there anything else at work?"
The assistant shook his head, "...It's Qi An'an."
Upon hearing that name, he felt Fu Jiu's gaze fixed on him.
Wenqin sat down on the sofa, pinching his brow bone, and said, "It's okay, go ahead and talk."
The assistant pushed the tablet in front of the two of them. "This happened before dinner. There has indeed been a twist in Qi An'an's case. An anonymous netizen uploaded a video of Qi An'an being bullied, saying that she was isolated and bullied by classmates in junior high and high school. Now everyone is condemning those people..."
The assistant spoke succinctly.
Even as a grown man, he was horrified when he saw that video.
There are always some of the nation's flowers that are so disgusting that you want to tear them apart.
Fu Jiu stared at the video on the tablet, her body gradually stiffening.
Beneath his frameless glasses, his phoenix eyes were cold and sharp, with a slight red tinge.
The sound from the video's external speaker was jarring; every voice, every word, was like a thorn, eventually tangling together and piercing him.
He didn't know any of this.
He knew too little about her.
He used to think that if she didn't want to talk about it, there was no need for him to ask. If he wanted to spend his life with her, he should consider her now and her in the future.
But at this moment, he desperately wanted to know everything about her.
"This is outrageous," Wen Qin commented calmly, looking at the frozen image.
Those young faces were as ferocious as demons.
Fu Jiu reached out and tapped one of the boys' faces twice with her fingertips, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "I know him."
Wenqin looked at him in surprise.
Before he could ask, Fu Jiu said, "I performed surgery on him."
Wen Qin nodded knowingly, "That's quite a coincidence."
Fu Jiu has seen all sorts of people; he doesn't care about other people's faces, but is more concerned about their injuries.
But Fu Jiu had some memory of this boy named Zhao Lin.
Because Zhao Lin had met Qi An'an when he was hospitalized, and his expression was strange at the time. He said, "Qi An'an, I didn't expect you and Dr. Fu to be a couple. Congratulations! You're amazing..."
Qi An'an explained to Fu Jiu privately at that time that they were old classmates, but not close.
With Zhao Lin already discharged from the hospital, Fu Jiu quickly forgot about the matter.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't an old classmate at all...
