Chapter 10 How can we have grandchildren if we don't live together?
Qin Shu spoke sincerely, but the audience interpreted it quite differently.
He spoke so convincingly that I almost believed him.
[+1! If I hadn't known beforehand that he was Song Ying's kept man, I would have thought a domineering CEO had come to life.]
I, Long Aotian, swear to protect Liu Bo'er to the death!
[Laughing so hard, the old-fashioned, cringeworthy style of my childhood is starting to sneak up on me again.]
No one believed Qin Shu's words—if he really had that ability, he would have been able to walk around the capital with impunity long ago, so why had no one even heard of him?
The events of midday seemed like a minor incident, and the live stream would continue in the afternoon.
No one knows what Shen Linzhou did, but when they gathered, Jiang Yueyao's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she had a smile on her lips, as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Ruoyu was still angry with Qiao Yu, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely awkward.
The director, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood.
After all, in the previous two episodes, the regular guests were too calm, and all the highlights were focused on the guest stars. Although the show had some popularity, it was still a bit short of becoming a huge hit.
Today is clearly different.
Song Ying's side has two tough opponents, and conflicts have also started to arise between Jiang Yueyao and Zhou Ruoyu's groups, resulting in numerous trending topics on social media.
His boss just called him, saying that a major investor watched the program, thought it had great potential, and directly donated 10 million yuan as sponsorship. He told him to keep up the good work and that he would give him a big bonus at the end of the year.
When assigning tasks in the afternoon, the director's face was all wrinkled with smiles.
"Please step forward, male guests."
"I now have four task cards in my hand, each with a different date location and date task. Please draw one randomly."
"The group that completes the task first will have priority in choosing a room."
"Choosing a room?"
Song Ying was the first to react, "Weren't our rooms already arranged?"
Female guests are assigned to one room, and male guests to another.
It's been like this for the past two weeks since the show started, so why bother choosing a house?
"This is something that most people don't know!"
The director said smugly, "Starting with this episode, we have a new sponsor, Zhiyuan Real Estate, which is high-end, classy, understated yet luxurious, and dedicated to providing a home for everyone far from home!"
"Starting tonight, the guests will no longer have to share a room! Each couple will have their own private living space! The specific room size for each couple will be determined by the results of this afternoon's games!"
"Let's thank Zhiyuan Real Estate again!"
The advertisement came out of nowhere...
[However, is this the Zhiyuan I know? The top real estate developer, Zhiyuan that claims to have properties in every city?!]
[This collaboration is awesome! The cohabitation setting is outrageously sexy!]
True couples should live together! This is the kind of arrangement befitting my premium membership!
There are so many dating reality shows, but this is the first time that a group of people have changed houses and started living together.
Although it was a bit abrupt, the amount of money the sponsor provided was so much, and it just happened to meet the expectations of netizens, which quickly raised the level of anticipation again.
Meanwhile, at the Qin family's old residence.
Grandpa Qin watched the live stream with satisfaction and took a sip of hot tea.
"That's exactly how it should be! How can I hold my grandchildren if we don't live together?"
Money is a minor issue.
-
Upon hearing the words "Zhiyuan Real Estate," Song Ying instinctively looked at Qin Shu.
The latter immediately raised his hands, indicating that it was none of his business.
"Then it can only be Grandpa..."
Song Ying felt somewhat helpless.
The old man is being far too eager.
"Now, male guests, please come forward and receive your task cards!"
The director waved the card in his hand, interrupting their whispered conversation.
Shen Linzhou stood close to the director and was the first to draw a card.
Next are Da Meng and Qiao Yu.
Qin Shu was the furthest away; by the time he got close, only the last one remained.
The moment he saw the card mission, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Song Ying with a smile that was hard to describe.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Every time Qin Shu showed this expression, Song Ying had a bad feeling, like a little white rabbit being targeted by a lion, destined to become prey.
"What is our mission?" Song Ying asked.
Before Qin Shu could speak, the director added another line.
"Please note that our cameras will be continuously filming you. Male guests cannot reveal task information to female guests before the task is completed. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation and you will be eliminated immediately."
“…” Song Ying fell silent.
"It's alright, just come with me." Qin Shu casually put the card into his pocket, walked over and gently squeezed Song Ying's small hand to comfort her.
The director reiterated the rules, then arranged vehicles to take the guests to their respective date locations.
After Song Ying and Qin Shu got into the car, there were already people waiting for them.
This is a standard arrangement by the production team.
The regular guests have pre-broadcast trailers and basic interviews before the live broadcast, but the guest stars are always unexpected, so a separate interview is needed to allow the audience to get to know them in a comprehensive way.
"First of all, a very warm welcome to both of you to our 'Love Detective' program. I'm your reporter, Xiaoyuan. Since the guest list was announced, many netizens have been very curious about the story between you and your boyfriend, Ms. Song. So, we've selected many questions that everyone is interested in from the comments. Are you both ready to answer them?"
"Wait a moment, is that alright?"
Qin Shu proactively asked the production team for a cushion and carefully placed it behind Song Ying's lower back. At the same time, she explained to the interviewer, "I'm sorry, her back has been uncomfortable these past two days, and she's been feeling a bit carsick. Putting something under her will help."
"It's okay, it's okay."
After watching the live stream this morning, Xiao Yuan thought Qin Shu was a troublemaker and difficult to approach, but she didn't expect that after actually getting to know him, he wasn't so unreasonable.
On the contrary, he was very polite to people, but his roguish appearance and eyes made him look wild.
After the car started moving, Song Ying seemed a little listless. Qin Shu lowered the car window a little and held her firmly in his arms. At first glance, Song Ying looked small and delicate, like a rabbit, soft and sweet.
"Alright, teacher, please ask your question." Her voice was soft and sweet, like a rabbit's.
"My first question is, how long have you been together?"
Song Ying: "Three years."
Qin Shu: "Three years and seventy-two days."
“?” Song Ying turned her face to look at Qin Shu.
Because she was leaning against Qin Shu, Song Ying could only tilt her head slightly, which allowed her to see his thick, long eyelashes.
This eyelash expert.
"Mr. Qin remembers it so accurately?" Xiao Yuan was a little surprised.
"Yeah, my memory is pretty good."
Xiao Yuan: "..." How can this be considered having a good memory?
"So, the amount of time you two spent together was..."
Song Ying: "April 12, 20xx".
Qin Shu: "April 12th, three years ago."
Exactly the same.
"Third question: How did you two get together? Was it through a friend's introduction, or...?"
"Online dating leading to real-life meeting."
"Online dating leading to real-life meeting."
Xiaoyuan: ...?!
Netizens: ...?!
Wait, something seems to have gotten mixed in?
