After dumping the big boss, they went on a dating reality show together.
More viewers flooded into the "Dream Love" live stream, and the comment section was overrun.
But for the guests on the show, all voices were shut out, and today was still a day suitable for flirting.
The program offers different dating routes, which Qi An'an can choose first.
To her surprise, the date location also had a carousel and bumper cars. Aren't these for little kids?
She was itching to make a move and took the relevant card.
Upon seeing her choice, Zhen Li subconsciously glanced at Fu Jiu.
Both of these locations were suggested by Fu Jiu.
He remained silent for a moment before asking, "What are your plans for tonight?"
He needs to make arrangements in advance.
Qi An'an turned around and looked at Fu Jiu behind her.
He could hear Zhen Li's words too, and shook his head, saying, "I'll listen to you."
So Qi An'an said to Zhen Li, "Let's go see a movie. I remember there are cinemas there."
Zhen Li didn't respond immediately. She looked at him somewhat nervously, "Is it not allowed?"
If you can go to the theater, you should be able to go to the cinema too, right? And it's much cheaper.
When Zhen Li appeared a few days ago, she was dressed very casually, but today she was dressed quite elegantly. Her linen shirt had a V-neck, and her black trousers hugged her long legs. Her shoulder-length hair was tied back, revealing her cold and shrewd world-weary face.
Viewers in the live stream rarely get to see him, but this time when the camera focused on him, his good looks truly amazed many.
[Hey! Why is Director Zhen dressed like a peacock today?]
Looking at Director Zhen and An An, they actually have quite a bit of chemistry!
[Director Zhen must know what's going on online, right? Finally, she shows some compassion? She actually managed to get Anjiu and her partner on a date today!]
What's with Zhen Li's gaze? Has she fallen for my An An?
[Shocking! Director Zhen shaved today.]
The other members of the production team were also puzzled by Zhen Li's unusual behavior.
Based on their understanding of Director Zhen, he definitely couldn't be feeling sorry for Qi An'an. He must be trying to take the opportunity to create a CP (couple pairing) with Qi An'an and generate more highlights for the show!
Yes, that must be it.
Almost instantly, Zhen Li felt several sharp gazes sweep past her.
Fu Jiu stepped forward and stood beside Qi An'an, her phoenix eyes piercing through her glasses, a chilling sharpness directed at Zhen Li, "Is there a problem?"
Zhen Li's lips twitched slightly, and she asked openly, "For the Q&A session, why did you choose the movie theater?"
Qi An'an was taken aback. There's this too?
She replied, "The most common thing couples do on a date is go to the movies, right?"
"...Bullshit! When I looked for you, you always said you were going out to eat." Qi Shen's voice suddenly interrupted, full of resentment.
Qi An'an: "..."
Duan Han suppressed a laugh and asked, "So, where did you and Fu Jiu go on dates before?"
Qi An'an: "...Hospital?"
Fu Jiu: "..."
"…………"
Qi Shen let out a long "Oh," his eyes unreadable. "Dr. Fu must be a very busy person. How could you tolerate that?"
Qi An'an: "..."
Yi Nanshan patted Qi Shen on the shoulder and said hesitantly, "Brother, are you trying to poach someone from our company?"
Qi Shen: "Get out."
Apart from the three people involved, everyone else burst out laughing.
Despite a minor hiccup, Qi An'an's date was finalized.
When Zhen Li left the restaurant, her heart was heavier than ever before.
He didn't intend to film a dating reality show properly or create couples; he just wanted to generate more dramatic storylines to entertain the public and gain traffic.
Now that we have viewership, the guests and the direction of the show are out of control.
All the attention was focused on Qi An'an.
He had suspected more than once whether someone was controlling everything, whether it was Fu Jiu, Qi Shen, or Qi An'an herself.
However, he ruled out all possibilities.
He even went to check in person to confirm that Qi An'an had not had any communication with the outside world.
The relationship between her, Fu Jiu, Qi Shen, and Lin Xiaoke was indeed as he had investigated.
They hadn't gone far when Zhen Liu called.
This time, Zhen Li did not refuse to listen.
Zhen Liu is his older brother, who is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper and has many channels for receiving information.
"When I first found out that Zhao Lin and his gang were bullying Qi An'an, I did hear about her murder. I thought it was absurd and immediately dismissed the fake news. I never expected there was such a horrible story behind it all... They're really inhuman. So, Director Zhen, are you going to be a good person and help Qi An'an get justice?"
Logically speaking, with filming finished tomorrow and Zhen Li having made a fortune, she could easily wash her hands of Qi An'an's affairs.
After all, her situation is quite troublesome.
Zhen Li recently speculated that Qi An'an had suffered from depression. Who knows if she will be affected by this old story being brought up again?
If anything were to happen to her on the show... Zhen Li wouldn't get any credit either.
However, even though she knew it was a thankless task, Zhen Li still secretly steered public opinion today, letting the incident escalate.
If the cruise ship weren't still at sea, the police would definitely be at the door by now.
"It wasn't me, it was those guys." Zhen Li leaned against the wall and said nonchalantly, "It won't make a difference if it's just a day or two. Let them do whatever they want."
"Oh, so why did you ask me to find you some bullying cases from recent years?"
"You're not happy about riding the wave of popularity?"
"Hahaha, if you want to help Qi An'an, just say so. This coy behavior isn't manly at all. Aren't you just trying to incite public outrage and spread your influence?"
Zhen Li found the laughter grating. "Busy, hanging up."
He clicked his tongue and muttered as he walked forward, "Why do they all pick that one to like..."
If we were to condense the footage shot over the past few days, it would probably be enough to make a movie with Qi An'an as the main character.
Zhen Li's heart was suddenly enveloped in a burning passion, her blood surged, and that name escaped her lips, "Qi An'an..."
——
On this day, Qi An'an and Fu Jiu's live stream consistently topped the popularity charts, and their CP (couple) popularity surged to number one.
Although the two did not explicitly state it, in the eyes of the audience, they were definitely a couple who had reconciled.
Regardless of why the two broke up in the first place, even if it was true that Qi An'an cheated on Qi and got together with him, there must have been a reason for it.
While netizens were gritting their teeth and scrolling through news about Qi An'an, they were also frantically shipping the sweet moments of An Jiu's date, creating a powerful sense of disconnect that affected everyone's emotions.
[Has Qi An'an completely emerged from the shadows?]
As long as Zhao Lin and his ilk live a life of luxury, her shadow will never fade.
[Waaaaah, An'an is always happy when she's with Dr. Fu. I want to know how they got together before!]
As speculated online, she liked Fu Jiu, but was pressured by her family or others to accept Qi Shen's advances. Little did she expect to meet him again in a dating reality show...
Even after the movie ended in the evening and the lights in the screening room came on, people left in twos and threes through the passageway.
Fu Jiu led Qi An'an to her feet, and as they walked into the dimly lit passage, he suddenly stopped and pulled her into his arms.
He lowered his head and asked softly, "Why are your eyes red?"
"That scene was so heartbreaking." She buried her face in his chest, seemingly wiping away tears.
But it was clearly a silly comedy.
Xiao Wang, who was filming, was dumbfounded.
He was watching a movie and couldn't take pictures, so he was resting. He just set up the camera and captured this stunning scene.
The cinema's corridor design is very atmospheric. It's dimly lit overall, with a bluish-green light from the ceiling and a dark orange light from the lower level reflecting in the corridor. The contrast between the cool and warm light outlines the silhouettes of the two people embracing, making it difficult to distinguish them.
Fu Jiu lowered his head slightly, his superior profile perfectly displayed. Although his expression was not clear, one could sense that his eyes were filled with deep affection.
Hearing the girl's suppressed sobs, Xiao Wang's mood inevitably became heavy as well.
Earlier this morning, Director Zhen asked them to give Fu Jiu and An An some alone time so that they could have a proper talk. An An wasn't crying because of the movie; she had clearly been holding back her emotions until now before they finally erupted.
Her suppressed sobs turned into loud wailing, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had accumulated in the past, or as if she was suddenly faced with an inner emptiness after a happy day, hence her fear and dread.
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream also connected the Qi An'an who was always struggling and running away in the past with the Qi An'an who was leisurely vacationing on the cruise ship.
The comments section was flooded with crying and hugging emojis.
"Qi An'an, I just remembered something."
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Jiu stroked the back of her neck and whispered these words.
Qi An'an's face was streaked with tears, her eyes brimming with moisture, her eyelashes wet, looking fragile and pitiful. Her attention was drawn to her, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you thinking about?"
You still owe me a massage.
Qi An'an remembered how she fell asleep instantly last night, and reached out to rub her eyes. "Okay, I'll give you a massage tonight."
Fu Jiu cupped her cheeks, carefully wiping away her tears with her fingertips, her voice still a little tense, "Do you still want to cry?"
She placed her hand on the back of his hand, shook her head, and sobbed uncontrollably because she was crying so hard.
Feeling embarrassed, she buried her face in his chest again, "...wait a bit before you leave."
"Um."
The passageway fell silent, with only the two figures intertwined.
Xiao Wang raised his hand to wipe his eyes and sighed silently.
[Did the production team tell An An about what happened online?! She seems devastated TT]
[I definitely have to say something, it's gotten out of hand.]
[Zhao Lin was only suspended from his post. There's also Lin Wei, who's supposedly a civil servant with powerful family connections; he's already being whitewashed on various platforms.]
No wonder the topic's popularity keeps dropping; it's disgusting!
[My heart aches for An'an! Her family had already accepted money to settle the matter, and they didn't even file a case at the time! How could parents be like this? The school also bribed people to cover it up... How disgusting! I wish this world would just end!]
[Dr. Fu seems to be in a very stable mood. Please take good care of An'an!]
But I always felt that Dr. Fu was too calm; suppressing emotions too much can drive someone crazy.
[It's good that they're going crazy, it would be best to kill those bastards, damn it!]
In the cramped room, Qi An'an and Fu Jiu silently watched Mu Shan.
Mu Shan, seemingly oblivious to their gazes, lay down on the bed with a smug look on his face. "The least powerful couple is Duan Han and Wen Qin. What, you still can't accept this fact? Then... you'll just have to bear with it."
Qi An'an cleared her throat, but her voice was still a little muffled. "Look at what you're saying. I don't look down on you."
Mu Shan glanced at her red, misty eyes, patted the spot next to him, and said teasingly, "As expected, An'an and I are the best of friends. Come lie down here and sleep with your brother."
It's fortunate that he's handsome, has a deep voice, and is very open and honest, so his words don't come across as greasy or sleazy.
But Qi An'an was still somewhat speechless: "..."
Looking at his smug face, she couldn't help but say to Fu Jiu, "Sure enough, men become bad when they get rich. Before, when we were filming, Mu Shan would even blush when he held my hand, but now he makes jokes about me."
Mu Shan was both amused and exasperated. "You still know it's a joke?"
Fu Jiu blinked her phoenix eyes slowly and asked softly, "Whose hand are you holding?"
Qi An'an: "..."
Mu Shan: "..."
Why is there suddenly a murderous aura?
