After cheating on the big boss, they went on a dating reality show together.
Qi An stayed quietly in the corner, and only when she heard the director call her name did she silently walk forward.
Xiao Hei had already told her the answer in advance: she was the one voted number one by netizens.
Most netizens who voted for her felt that her entanglement with the male guest was quite deep, and that they might see some exciting scenes.
"Qi An'an, you can now choose two male guests to stay in the sea-view room with you tonight."
As a result, everyone's eyes fell on her, like needles, making it impossible for her to ignore them.
Liang Di blushed and whispered, "Wouldn't this be inappropriate? An'an, can you accept living with... someone of the opposite sex on the first day?"
The show's rules are indeed quite surprising, but they were informed of this before signing the contract.
However, once Liang Di suddenly asked this question, no matter what Qi An'an answered, it seemed unlikely to satisfy the audience.
If she can't accept it, then she shouldn't have signed the contract in the first place.
If she can accept that, then it means she's rather promiscuous...
Qi An'an didn't answer, but instead asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Liang Di was taken aback. "Huh?"
Qi An'an: "If you were voted number one, would you accept the arrangement?"
Her tone wasn't exactly aggressive; it was more like she was asking for advice.
Liang Di's smile froze slightly. "...What kind of assumption is that? Haha."
Qi An'an smiled and didn't dwell on the issue. "Anyway, I'll listen to the director. Besides, there must be a reason why the audience voted like this."
This time, Liang Di didn't reply, but just smiled gently and secretly clenched her hands.
[...I was just about to scold Qi An'an for getting the benefits and then acting innocent, but now I don't know what to say.]
[Actually, Qi An'an wasn't wrong. This was originally the director's arrangement. Liang Di's question just now was quite tactless...]
[Judging from this, Liang Di seems a bit scheming! Was she implying that Qi An'an was too casual about living with a guy on her first day?]
This time, I'm on Qi An'an's side.
[If Liang Di had won first place, he'd probably be ecstatic. What's he pretending for?]
Ugh, I hate people who pretend to be innocent. Liang Di ruined all my goodwill towards her.
Lin Xiaoke looked at Qi An'an, feeling both puzzled and annoyed. How could Qi An'an be number one in popularity?
Before she entered the show, she clearly had her subordinates keep an eye on her.
How could they be so stupid? Why didn't they hire an online army to vote her into number one?
She couldn't help but ask, "Qi An'an, who do you really want to choose?"
The live stream has switched to Qi An'an's perspective—
With his arms crossed in front of him and his chin held high, Qi Shen's peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, as if concealing some kind of threat from a predator.
Wen Qin was impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding an air of nobility and elegance. He casually twirled a cup in one hand.
Yi Nanshan exuded an untamed arrogance, his fair and handsome face shrouded in a thin layer of gloom, his gaze fixed intently on Qi An'an, practically screaming on his face—don't choose me.
Fu Jiu sat quietly, her posture relaxed and languid. She had a gentle and refined appearance, but there was always an indescribable aura about her. Her phoenix eyes were deep and cold.
Every male guest that Zhen Li selected was an absolute gem.
The most agitated were the viewers in the live stream.
[Ahhh, this scene... I'm already projecting myself onto Qi An'an.]
Which card should I choose tonight, hehehe...?
[Wenqin, oh my god, I love this! Does anyone know? He really seems like a refined gentleman raised in a family with a rich heritage!]
[Yi Nanshan, choose him! His unruly exterior hides a pure heart; I want to see him call me "sister" with tears in his eyes!]
[Hey, I'd actually kind of like Qi Shen, that womanizing rich kid, if he turned over a new leaf!]
Has no one mentioned Fu Jiu? He seems like the gentle and considerate second male lead in an idol drama, I like him~
[Who should I choose? I'm so anxious! I haven't even bought a complete set of underwear yet!!]
【Pants flying everywhere!!!】
【??? This isn't a no-man's-land, ladies, please tone it down!】
Qi An'an, upon hearing Xiao Hei read the comments: "..."
She didn't need to think too much about who to choose.
She couldn't let Fu Jiu live with anyone else, so she definitely had to choose him. The other one, naturally, was Yi Nanshan, who hated her the most.
"Fu Jiu, Yi Nanshan," Qi An'an said without pausing.
It didn't give anyone else time to prepare.
As Wen Qin breathed a sigh of relief, a strange heaviness rose in his heart. After all, he had always been exceptionally outstanding in every aspect since childhood, and was never one of the leftovers...
So Qi An'an isn't interested in him?
Compared to Wen Qin's complexity, Qi Shen's anger was more intense. He gritted his teeth, coldly curled the corners of his mouth, and if his eyes could kill, Qi An'an would have been tortured to death several times over by now.
Very well, Qi An'an knows how to humiliate him.
Fu Jiu didn't react much, just glanced at him from afar, and calmly accepted the assignment.
Yi Nanshan looked like he had swallowed a fly; his words were written all over his face.
Most people were puzzled by Qi An'an's decision.
She interacted with Wenqin a lot, and they both assumed that Wenqin would definitely be one of the two candidates.
Yi Nanshan initially showed doubt and disdain for her, but she still chose him.
Qi An'an didn't offer an explanation, and Lin Xiaoke, after regaining her senses, hurriedly asked, "Qi An'an, why did you choose Fu Jiu?"
Her tone was full of accusation, which drew the attention of the other guests.
They happened to want to know too, so no one spoke up to stop them.
Wow, I'm really surprised they chose Yi Nanshan!
[Yi Nanshan has already made it obvious that he doesn't like Qi An'an, yet she still chose him. Is she trying to force herself on her?]
[Why is Qi An'an like this? Doesn't she know Ke Ke likes Fu Jiu? Why is she getting involved?]
[Lin Xiaoke and Fu Jiu are definitely a couple, okay? How dare Qi An'an be a third party!]
What's going on? A couple is already locked in on the first day? Ridiculous!!
[Qi An'an chose the two people who were the coldest to her, hahaha! Anyway, I want to see it~]
【Ahhh, curse all you want, I don't care who the couple is, I just want to see something exciting!】
The girl, who was the center of attention, kept her eyes lowered and remained calm and composed, but her dazzling radiance was undeniable. She looked up at Fu Jiu, then turned to Lin Xiaoke, "Didn't you say I could choose anyone?"
Lin Xiaoke: "...It can't be Fu Jiu!"
"Why?"
"Why don't you understand this in your own heart?!"
Qi An'an shook her head.
"..."
Lin Xiaoke really wanted to expose Qi An'an's true colors and tell everyone that she cheated on Qi Shen with Fu Jiu!
But Qi Shen... has a rather eccentric personality, and she didn't dare to directly provoke him.
"The production team said that Qi An'an can choose anyone," Wen Qin stepped forward and said calmly. "Next, we should assign the remaining rooms."
He didn't want to waste time on these pointless arguments.
If Lin Xiaoke likes Fu Jiu, she can try to win him back instead of trying to change someone else's choice.
[The guest with the lowest popularity was assigned to one of the remaining three rooms, isn't that still pretty interesting, hahaha]
Wen Qin helped Qi An'an out of a tight spot again; he must like her!
Isn't Lin Xiaoke being too domineering? She's already trying to claim territory on the very first day? Did she even ask Fu Jiu?
[Hey, I don't like watching the female competition. If Lin Xiaoke likes someone, she should go for it herself. Why is she targeting Qi An'an?]
[Who's targeting Qi An'an? Ke Ke and Fu Jiu are clearly attracted to each other; anyone who interferes is shameless!]
Are audiences really this overreacting these days? Forcing a couple on their very first meeting? Do you think this is an idol drama?
[Holy crap, Qi Shen and Hu Yiyi are sharing a room???]
The live stream failed to generate any argument, but the room allocation results shocked them.
The last place in popularity was Yi Nanshan. I don't know what kind of revenge he was looking for, but he put Qi Shen and Hu Yiyi, Wen Qin and Lin Xiaoke together, while Liang Di was in a room by himself.
Wen Qin's eyelids twitched, and he patiently asked, "What is the basis for your room allocation...?"
Yi Nanshan casually glanced at everyone, and seeing their tense expressions, he finally felt relieved. "It was just a random assignment. It's a dating reality show, so this is how we make room assignments interesting."
His final gaze fell on Liang Di, a slight glint of light appearing in his eyes.
His favorite person was actually Liang Di.
Liang Di perfectly matched his ideal woman: gentle and beautiful, pure and lovely, with a pleasant voice and exceptionally understanding.
But now he has been chosen by Qi An'an to share a room with her.
So all he can do is stir things up; nobody's going to have an easy time tonight!
Besides Liang Di...
"..."
Everyone stared silently at Yi Nanshan.
Liang Di clenched her fists even tighter, a smile on her face, while inwardly cursing Yi Nanshan several times over.
He even knows this is a dating reality show? What does that mean by leaving her all alone?
But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't show it.
[I'm blown away! Yi Nanshan really knows how to have fun!]
I'm already looking forward to it, hahaha!
[Am I just imagining things? Yi Nanshan is peeking at Liang Di?]
[Got it, I'll reserve a single room for Liang Di because I like her!]
[I'm totally shipping them! Yi Nanshan is so innocent!]
But he's going to sleep with Qi An'an tonight...
[Liang Di...emmm, she's not very good at managing her expressions; she looks quite angry?]
After the rooms are assigned, all guests can take their luggage and return to their rooms.
Qi An'an brought a 24-inch suitcase when she boarded the boat, which was relatively little compared to the other female guests.
The main reason was that she was on a tight budget, and she didn't even bring skincare and makeup products because she remembered that the show would sponsor those, as well as clothing.
She walked at the front, turned around to look for Fu Jiu, but only saw Yi Nanshan.
Yi Nanshan frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Qi An'an didn't want to talk to him, so she didn't even reply to him and turned around to continue walking forward.
Yi Nanshan harbored ill intentions towards her, and she had no intention of wasting her time on him.
Yi Nanshan: "..."
This girl has no manners!
The sea-view room was spacious, even featuring a balcony and an office area, but... Qi An'an looked around and only found a bed.
Three people, one bed?
Yi Nanshan widened his eyes and looked at the filming director, asking, "There's only one bed, right? How are we supposed to sleep?"
The director didn't speak, and the camera shook.
They took a picture of his and Qi An'an's bewildered expressions and finally stopped at the doorway.
Fu Jiu walked in slowly, her gaze sweeping over the luxuriously decorated room, and she frowned slightly.
Yi Nanshan walked up to him and asked, "Fu Jiu, what do you think we should do now?"
The production team is just stirring things up. All the other guests' rooms seem to have twin beds, but their deluxe ocean-view room only has one bed?!
"What do you mean, what should we do?" Fu Jiu put her luggage aside, bent down to open her suitcase, and showed no concern for tonight.
Yi Nanshan became anxious, "There's only one bed here, how are the three of us going to sleep?"
After he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Qi An'an across from him.
Qi An'an squatted in front of her suitcase, wondering whether she should take all her things out, but she felt she wouldn't be staying in the sea-view room forever, so she decided to see how things went first.
Noticing Yi Nanshan's gaze, she looked up in the direction of the two men.
No, are they some kind of victims' alliance?
Why did Yi Nanshan look at her like that?
Could a girl who can't even kill a chicken really eat two grown men?
Fu Jiu glanced at it briefly before lowering her eyes. As she put on disposable gloves, she said, "This bed can fit three people."
Upon hearing this, Yi Nanshan looked incredulous. "But... but how can we sleep together?"
"What are you afraid of?" Fu Jiu took out the alcohol and began cleaning the room.
Seeing his calm demeanor, Yi Nanshan began to doubt himself—was I just naive? Has the dating reality show really progressed to this point?
[Laughing Mouse, Yi Nanshan is really afraid of what Qi An'an might do to him, hahaha]
[Aaaaaah—a sharp, explosive sound erupts!]
[I'm a country bumpkin, but I love watching!!]
[It started with a 3P, hahaha, so exciting!]
Fu Jiu is a germaphobe! That really resonates with me!
[I won't watch any more live streams if they're not as exciting as today's, hehehe...]
I love seeing forced relationships; I hope Qi An'an can get Yi Nanshan sorted out quickly.
Director Zhen really knows how to do things! Just seeing the three of them together makes me start imagining what their night would be like...
Yi Nanshan glanced at Fu Jiu, then at Qi An'an, and finally calmed down.
He's not afraid at all.
If anyone should be afraid, it should be Qi An'an who's afraid!
He walked up to her and looked down at her, asking, "Which side do you want to sleep on?"
Qi An'an took the sleeping bag out of her suitcase and said, "I'll bring the sleeping bag and just make a bed on the floor."
Yi Nanshan: "...Oh."
This was something he hadn't expected.
She was prepared all along.
What was he struggling with just now?
Qi An'an's words completely relaxed Yi Nanshan and also made the viewers in the live broadcast room obediently put their pants back on and regain their integrity.
That damn Qi An'an, why did she bring a sleeping bag to a dating reality show?!
If they're not lying together, what's the point of watching?
Qi An'an didn't care. She had gotten up early in the morning, and now her eyes were sore and she had a headache. She actually wanted to lie down for an afternoon nap.
However, with the filming director and two men in the room, it wasn't very convenient.
Fu Jiu is indeed a germaphobe. He had said before that no matter how high-end the hotel he stayed in, he would disinfect it thoroughly. Right now, he was also cleaning it carefully.
Yi Nanshan seemed embarrassed to be idle, so he also helped out.
Just as Qi An'an was about to walk over, Yi Nanshan reached out his hand to refuse, saying directly, "Qi An'an, you should pack your luggage. We'll take care of it."
He resolutely refused to appear in the same frame as Qi An'an, so as not to give the audience any room for imagination.
Qi An stood there calmly, but her gaze was fixed on Fu Jiu.
Well, apart from when she gave him the band-aid, she hasn't spoken to him at all.
There are light bulbs everywhere.
She nodded, walked to the sofa by the window, and sat down. She had only intended to close her eyes and rest, but ended up falling asleep...
Yi Nanshan felt the sunlight streaming in was a bit too bright, so he walked to the French windows and tried to draw the curtains.
He paused for a moment when he suddenly saw the figure leaning against the sofa.
Qi An'an leaned against the sofa, curled up slightly, and had already fallen asleep.
Her appearance... inexplicably reminded him of his West Highland White Terrier, a dog he had raised for five years that would always curl up in the corner of the sofa waiting for him to come home.
Also, how come her eyelashes are so long?
Yi Nanshan only glanced at it a few times, and he couldn't quite describe how he felt.
However, he soon felt an undeniable gaze fixed on him from ahead, like sharp icicles piercing his skin. Yi Nanshan looked up and saw Fu Jiu walking towards him.
Fu Jiu clearly wasn't looking at him, but her expression wasn't exactly gentle either.
Yi Nanshan instinctively raised his guard, feeling as if the other party was an enemy poised to pounce and tear at him at any moment.
Fu Jiu went to the sofa, glanced down at the sleeping person, and woke her up.
"May you be safe and sound."
Qi An'an wasn't sleeping soundly. She vaguely heard his voice and opened her eyes.
First, she saw Yi Nanshan, and then her gaze settled on Fu Jiu.
She was momentarily unsure of the situation, given that both of them looked rather serious.
"What's wrong?" she asked Fu Jiu.
Fu Jiu gestured to the newly made bed, "I'll disinfect the sofa, you can sleep on the bed."
Upon hearing this, Yi Nanshan quickly said, "She has a sleeping bag, she sleeps on the floor."
Before he could finish speaking, he realized that what he said was inappropriate.
Saying these things in front of the camera will definitely attract criticism!
So he abruptly changed the words that were about to slip out, and said dryly, "—She can sleep on the bed, so she won't feel uncomfortable."
Qi An'an looked at the slightly damp floor and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take a short nap. Thank you all for your hard work."
Yi Nanshan: "...Hmm."
You're really sleeping?!
How can you sleep?!
Qi An'an took out the pink sleeping bag and spread it inside the bed, muttering, "I just washed it yesterday, it's very clean..."
Of course, she also said this to Fu Jiu, so that he wouldn't think her sleeping bag had dirtied the bed.
Yi Nanshan tried hard to maintain a smile.
Qi An'an went to wash up and changed into a set of short-sleeved and short-sleeved home clothes before crawling into her sleeping bag.
I fell asleep instantly after putting on the eye mask.
Yi Nanshan: "..."
He turned to look at Fu Jiu.
Fu Jiu had already suppressed his terrifying aura from before. Bathed in sunlight, he raised his hand and drew the curtains, instantly darkening the room.
Hmm, perfect for sleeping.
Yi Nanshan also wanted to sleep for a while.
But when he turned his head and saw the pink sleeping bag on the bed, he could only sit on the sofa dejectedly and say to Fu Jiu, "Fu Jiu, since the production team doesn't have any special arrangements, shall we all take a break?"
He spoke as he occupied the sofa.
"Okay." Fu Jiu nodded and walked towards the bathroom.
Yi Nanshan happily lay down on the sofa. He had to admit, seeing Fu Jiu disinfect the room made him feel especially at ease.
Yi Nanshan is such a goofball, hahaha
[Am I the only one who noticed that Fu Jiu's eyes looked a little scary just now?]
[Sister, I saw it too!! Fu Jiu isn't supposed to be a gentle person at all!]
[I've been shipping couples for twenty years, and I feel there's something going on between An and Jiu, but I'm not sure. I'll continue to observe.]
I'm totally smitten by Qi An'an's looks! Who wouldn't be mesmerized by her beauty?!
[Qi An'an is only good-looking for her face; while the two male guests were working, she was sleeping soundly.]
I went to watch other people's live streams. I didn't expect Qi An'an to be so bored...
"Come on, we're not stopping you. Can't people even take a lunch break?"
[Didn't Qi An'an say she was going to sleep on the floor? She's lying on the bed again? So manipulative!]
In the control room, Zhen Li compared the live streams from the four rooms and finally zoomed in on the view from the ocean-view room onto the screen.
Wherever Qi An'an goes, controversy arises.
It's as if she was born to be the protagonist and receive all the attention.
But who would have thought that, away from the camera, she was just a poor little thing, scrimping and saving, controlled by life?
