After Lin Lushen’s new song was released, Li Changsi went to watch the full version. The beautiful yet murderous images, coupled with Xiaolu’s ethereal voice and dance, perfectly interpreted the song.
But where in the world is there redemption? Since the younger sister could kill her elder sister with her own hands, she must not feel any guilt. After all, the young man was a little naive and did not understand the cruelty of the imperial palace.
"Sin" became a hit on the Internet, and a variety show wanted to invite them both to the show, but Li Changsi refused.
After the arts exam, Li Changsi had a rare period of free time. He stayed in the mountaintop manor to read scripts, walked Little Marshmallow every day, fed the birds foraging in the mountains, played Go with Lu Qi, and talked about platonic love, until a dating variety show came to him.
"Dating variety show?"
"Yes, the most popular variety shows right now are dating shows, there are celebrity dating shows and ordinary people's dating shows, as long as these two words are included, there will be huge traffic. This dating show is a hodgepodge of celebrities and ordinary people, and it's a big hodgepodge. The other party's pay is this number." Qiubi said an extremely exaggerated number. As long as Li Changsi took on this dating show and recorded it for about a month, he would be able to buy a luxury house in full later.
How many "Dancing Solo Girl" productions would she have to take to earn that much? Kyubey practically forced her to take it. A month of acting goes by. Domestic dating shows are mostly scripted, and few couples actually work out. Even fans of celebrity dating shows don't necessarily support the couple; they mainly want to see the stars' daily lives.
"Ordinary stars only get one-tenth of your pay. It's mainly because your recent scandal with Bai Zhuo has been making headlines, which has given the production team a huge boost in traffic, so they're giving you this much pay. Son, do we really have to go against money? Didn't you ask me to look at a house before? I showed you a fantastic house. Many celebrities and wealthy businessmen buy that property. It's a 240-square-meter lakefront flat. Watch the snow in the winter and the lake in the summer. It's so nice to live there alone."
As long as you accept this dating show, you can buy it in full."
Li Changsi narrowed her eyes and considered it carefully. It wasn't just the huge paycheck, but also the rumors about her and Bai Zhuo. The entire internet believed she and Bai Zhuo were in a relationship. If she participated in a dating show, it would indeed resolve this issue, severing the male lead's thoughts and thus breaking the so-called master-servant bond. Furthermore, her relationship with Lu Qi hadn't progressed at all.
This man had amazing self-control. He was considerate and gentle to her, and almost always responded to her requests, but he was always unwilling to cross the line. Apart from the previous uncontrollable kiss and the encouraging kiss during the art exam, there were no other intimate actions between them.
She almost suspected that she was his mascot in the house.
"There's just one problem. If you announce your relationship right after you become famous, you'll lose a lot of fans. You basically won't be able to rely on traffic in the future. You can only rely on your acting skills to be an actor. And will President Lu agree to appear on the variety show?" Qiubi was a little uncertain. President Lu looked extremely low-key. How could he be willing to show up in public?
If Zizi breaks up with him before appearing on a dating show, Qiubi shudders. He'll be skinned alive by Mr. Lu. Woo woo woo, so much cash.
"I'll ask him." Li Changsi hung up the phone and continued to take the furry little marshmallow for a walk.
"Mr. Bai, we've already contacted Li Changsi's agent and offered him an offer he can't refuse. Li Changsi is currently considering whether to take on this romance show."
Bai Zhuo received the call with a serious look on her face. The year-end was approaching and many S+ production projects had not yet started. The only S+ script on the market, "Locking Qingqiu", was rejected by Li Changsi. According to her sharp eyes in choosing scripts, there were no scripts to take during this period. In addition, the art exam was over and she had free time, so she could definitely take on a one-month romance variety show.
There is no wall in this world that cannot be torn down. He checked Li Changsi's debt and family background. She doesn't even have a house in her name now. She only has an apartment occupied by her mother and brother.
That amateur boyfriend is of no help to her at all. As long as Li Changsi brings his friend to participate in the dating variety show, he will let that man understand what a real wealthy family is and the bloody storms of the entertainment industry.
He is the only one who is most suitable for her.
Bai Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please continue to follow up and make sure to convince Li Changsi to participate in this dating variety show."
"You're welcome. You're the biggest sponsor of this variety show, and you're personally participating in it to generate buzz. We will definitely convince Li Changsi to participate."
The production team was incredibly excited. With a super-rich sponsor and a top star joining the cast, this dating show was sure to go viral once the show was officially announced, eclipsing even the most popular wilderness survival show. Anyone not taking advantage of this kind of free lunch would be a fool.
After dinner, Li Changsi saw Lu Qi wearing glasses and sitting by the fireplace signing documents. Song Mao was quietly explaining the fourth quarter financial reports of branches in various places, so he played with a marshmallow.
"Sisi, do you have something to say to me?" Seeing her gaze shift to him for the third time, Lu Qi put down the pen in his hand and signaled Song Mao to stop reporting.
Seeing that he noticed, Li Changsi raised the corners of his lips and said, "Lu Qi, why don't we make our relationship public?"
"Huh?" Lu Qi was slightly surprised.
Song Mao, standing beside him, shuddered. Publicizing their relationship? Oh my god, wouldn't marriage be the next step? Wouldn't that mean Li Changsi could share in Mr.'s vast fortune?
Song Mao's scalp tingled.
"There's a dating show that's been approached about me lately. It's about filming the daily life of a couple. If we announce our relationship, we can even earn some money from the variety show." Li Changsi thought it was feasible. It would earn money, stop Bai Zhuo's thoughts, and cultivate a relationship with Lu Qi—killing three birds with one stone. She wasn't planning on maintaining a single image and relying on traffic to make a living. Female celebrities are different from male celebrities. Male celebrities tend to have more girlfriend fans, while female celebrities tend to have more fans who are attracted by their looks and careers, and not so many boyfriend fans.
Announcing the relationship won't have a huge impact.
Lu Qi pondered for a moment, his eyes deep, and said nothing.
Song Mao said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you will show up."
"Dating variety show? So if I don't go, the production team might pair you with another male guest?" Lu Qi said in a low voice, emphasizing the word "dating variety show." He had no habit of restricting Li Changsi's career development, so she could go on variety shows if she wanted, stay home and play with her kids if she wanted, and film or study if she wanted. It was just that pairing up on a dating variety show made Mr. Lu feel a little jealous.
Li Changsi's charming eyes sparkled. "I haven't got the specific contract details, but celebrities' dating shows don't necessarily involve romance. Fans like to see their daily lives. The basic format is that they live together for a month, doing their own things during the day and communicating at night. That's it."
Even if she's not in a relationship, with her face, she's sure to be pursued wherever she goes.
Lu Qi pursed his lips and said, "Then let's make our relationship public."
Just treat it as the last indulgence, bitter and sweet. Otherwise, one day he will disappear in the sea of people, and probably no one will know he was here or remember him.
Li Changsi raised his eyebrows in delight: "Then I'll go announce my relationship, Mr. Lu?"
"Yeah." Lu Qi looked at her smiling face, her eyes were gentle, and he unconsciously curled the corners of his lips. He felt that spring was coming, and the fragrance of blooming flowers could be smelled in the manor.
Li Changsi walked out of the manor and called his agent while walking with Little Marshmallow.
Qiubi almost jumped up in excitement: "Did Mr. Lu really agree to be on a dating show with you?"
"He agreed to announce his relationship, so appearing on a dating show is extra." Li Changsi watched Little Marshmallow running around in the courtyard and said, "Go discuss the details with the production team."
Qibi quickly sent the contract details. Li Changsi stood under the osmanthus tree and read through it quickly. It was basically a month's daily routine, and there was no script. The only thing was that he had to return to the dating show's cabin at night. In addition to the bedroom, there was a 24-hour live broadcast in the cabin.
"Who are the guests attending?"
"You're the first person the production team has contacted. It's said that there will be four celebrities and four amateurs, and this time it's a big mix. The tentative plan is for two fixed couples and two singles. Later on, we'll see if they'll add new guests based on the popularity. Hey, you're recording with Mr. Lu anyway, so it's like you're getting paid this much per month for live streaming. It's such a steal."
Li Changsi nodded: "You go talk to the production team. I can have more shots, but Lu Qi must have fewer. He likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to be disturbed."
The show's production team agreed almost instantly. Seeing the contract was sound, Li Changsi signed the agreement. The show began filming on New Year's Day and will last a month until February, just two weeks before the Chinese New Year, which is also the peak season for traffic during the winter break.
After Li Changsi signed her contract for the dating variety show, "Next Stop Heartbeat," the show officially announced the addition of Li Changsi and four other cast members. The announcement went viral the same day, and fans were stunned in the comments section.
—Li Changsi is participating in a dating show? Oh my god, it’s a dating show! Is the young lady going to fall in love? Ten thousand exclamation points omitted here.
——Happiness comes so suddenly. This dating show is a hodgepodge of celebrities and ordinary people. I am so looking forward to it. There is another live broadcast to watch.
——The blind guess program team invited Li Changsi just for the popularity. I don’t believe that this young lady will really fall in love. She has been popular for less than half a year, so she should consolidate her fan base first.
——Career fans, I didn’t want Sibao to fall in love so early. It’s really disgusting that he is being scammed by some people every day.
——It’s hard for celebrities and ordinary people to really be together. Sibao is probably just going to go through the motions. No one is worthy of my daughter, no one. (Cracking voice——)
——The official blog said that there are eight guests in total, four celebrities and four ordinary people. More guests will be added later. Among the four officially announced guests, in addition to Sibao, there is also a male celebrity Yu Yang. Does anyone know who the other two ordinary people are?
——I don’t know. Why watch amateurs? Just watch the female geese. Hahahaha. The female geese are dominating in the survival variety shows. I don’t know how the female geese will perform in the dating variety shows.
—Oh my god, I can’t imagine what Li Changsi is like when she’s in love. Who would dare to flirt with such a cold and beautiful woman? The groundhog screamed.
In Li Changsi's super topic, the little red beans were surprised and happy. They were happy because they could finally watch the variety show of the female goose. God knows how they got through the past half month. They were surprised because the female goose was participating in a dating variety show and was there for the purpose of falling in love.
——Sisters, don’t panic. I think Sibao wants to take the opportunity to clarify the scandal between her and Bai Zhuo. If they were really in a relationship, who would go on a variety show? I support Sibao this time. This kind of dating variety show rarely succeeds. Sibao will probably still be single after the recording.
——Just to say, the official said that two of the couples invited this time are real couples.
——That can’t be Sibao. Sibao is so busy every day. He took the art exam some time ago and then went to shoot a MV. How could he have time to fall in love? It would take me half a year to dare to bring someone home after a relationship.
——No matter what variety show it is, just support it. I really feel sorry for Nv'e. It must be a wonderful thing to have someone who loves her and accompanies her. Although we are fans of Nv'e's career, we don't want Nv'e to sacrifice her normal life.
——Anyone is fine as long as it’s not Bai Zhuo. I hope this variety show doesn’t include the movie emperor and his fans.
——Sisters, don’t set goals randomly. I’m really afraid. The scandal a while ago gave me PTSD.
——I take it back, sob.
The super topic forum spread quickly, and the new variety show "Next Stop Heartbeat" of Polar Bear Channel instantly harvested a large wave of traffic, becoming the most popular dating variety show at the moment. It attracted countless attention before it was even recorded.
The official Weibo account did not reveal the information of the guests, only announced their names. Then, on the third day before the recording, it announced the other four guests, among whom were Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue. The already popular romance show was further fueled by the fire, and the fans were all confused.
——Oh my god, what kind of Shura Field love variety show is this?! This is the second episode of Seven Days and Seven Nights, I love it so much, hahahaha, let's make the Shura Field even more intense.
——Please someone knock me out until New Year’s Day. I want to watch this dating show as soon as I wake up. Thank you.
——A devilish love triangle. I dare say these three will become a couple. If not, I will live broadcast myself drinking porridge upside down.
A feast for CP fans! The rumors about Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo are real, right? Really? Otherwise, how could they be on the same dating show? Holy crap, I'm hooked!
——The love variety show of Chasing Wife at the Crematorium + Shura Field, woooo, woooo, I like it so much.
——Girls, it’s confirmed! The official Weibo account said there are two real couples: four celebrities and four ordinary people. It’s impossible for all the ordinary people to be couples, so there must be a couple among the four celebrities! !
Passerby fans are obsessed with it, and in the super chats of Li Changsi, Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue, fans are like it is the end of the world. What a fateful encounter this is.
——I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have set the flag, wuwuwuwu, my Sibao, are you really in love with Bai Zhuo?
——I was panicking, I was really panicking!
——Someone is fighting over the girl in Bai Zhuo’s topic, damn, so angry.
——Don't worry, Bai Zhuo's fans and Song Xingyue's fans are also fighting. Their female fans will fight with each other whenever they see one. You'll get used to it. I hope both Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue will ignore their real fans. That would be great.
Weibo, forums, and super topics all exploded, which can be said to be the first explosion of the year.
After three days of agony, fans finally waited for the live recording of "Next Stop Heartbeat".
On the day of recording the dating variety show, Li Changsi received a message from the production team early in the morning, saying that a staff member would come to pick them up and shoot some behind-the-scenes footage, which would be edited into the exclusive version later.
Li Changsi was a little depressed, especially when she learned that Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue were also invited to this dating show, she was completely disappointed. The only thing she was thankful for was that she was on the variety show with Lu Qi, otherwise even if she had mouths all over her body, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
At 10 a.m., the assistant director of "Next Stop, Heartbeat" arrived with the PD who was filming the scene to pick us up. As the driver drove up to the luxurious villa complex in Jingcheng, where every inch of land is worth a fortune, I became increasingly nervous. This area is incredibly expensive. And there's even a checkpoint halfway up the mountain.
The car drove all the way to the top of the mountain, and from afar we could see the mountaintop manor among the flowers and green trees, just like the wonderland in Alice's fairy tale.
The butler had been waiting by the boulevard for a long time. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Uncle Lu, the butler of the manor. Welcome. Mr. and Miss Changsi are already waiting in the side hall."
The assistant director saw that the butler was wearing a neat suit, had his hair combed meticulously, and had excellent manners. It was obvious that he had received professional butler training. He quickly got out of the car and asked very politely if he could take the photo.
"The Hilltop Manor is a private residence. My husband said we can take some photos of the surrounding scenery and the side hall and courtyard on the first floor. The second floor and above are not open to the public."
"That's enough. Thank you, Mr. Lu. We just filmed some scenes so that we can edit them in later." The assistant director was overjoyed. This kind of private residence of top wealthy people is indeed not open to the public, and people are not allowed to take pictures randomly. They are just taking advantage of the variety show.
The PD who was filming the scene took some distant shots of the boulevard and the manor, and the group followed the butler into the manor.
Li Changsi and Lu Qi have already packed their luggage. Since the recording location is in Jingcheng, they can come back at any time. They don’t bring much luggage, basically just some spare clothes and daily necessities.
Although the scripts that Qiubi handed over recently offered high salaries, the scripts were very mediocre. Li Changsi did not accept any of them. Whenever he had free time, he would look at the books in Lu Qi's study.
When the assistant director and others came in, they saw Li Changsi sitting in front of the fireplace, holding the little Bichon Frise in her arms, stroking the puppy's head from time to time, and reading a book. The floor heating in the house was on, and it was as warm as spring. She was only wearing a loose white sweater, with delicate features and long hair as thick as seaweed, which made her small face look only the size of a palm. She was even more beautiful in person than on TV.
"I seem to have become nearsighted recently, and your glasses are just right for me. Aren't they very intellectually beautiful?"
"You look more beautiful without glasses. I'll ask Zhenxi to prescribe some eye drops for you." The man beside him spoke softly and gently, revealing only his profile and superior jawline. When he saw them come in, he glanced towards the door. His eyes were deep and indifferent, his facial features were handsome, and his lines were deep. He was unexpectedly young and handsome.
The assistant director and others were all speechless. With such looks, she is far superior to other male stars in the entertainment industry and lives in such a top-notch mansion. No wonder Li Changsi gave up the title of Best Actor and found a boyfriend who is not in the entertainment industry.
If it weren't for the agreement that stated the man didn't like to show his face, this couple would be a disaster.
"Sir, Miss Changsi, the program crew is here."
Li Changsi stood up, nodded to the assistant director and others, and smiled slightly.
The assistant director quickly stepped forward and explained his purpose. He didn't dare to let the PD take random photos, so he just took a few rough photos of the leisure area by the fireplace in the side hall, and then turned on the camera to conduct a small behind-the-scenes interview.
"Teacher Li, Mr. Lu, this interview is an exclusive featurette for the show. It will be released after the show is finished. It's just a simple tacit understanding test. Please write your answers on the cards. We'll calculate your tacit understanding later."
The assistant director took out two questionnaires with thirty small questions written on them. Basically, they asked questions like what they liked most about each other, whether it was love at first sight, etc. The answers were very easy. The two of them wrote down their answers and handed them to the program team.
The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The last question is that our variety show has two couples, both of whom are celebrities and ordinary people. Therefore, we will not announce the identity of the couple for the first half of the month. We hope that the two of them can keep each other's identities secret and pretend to be strangers and repeat the heart-beating process."
What? Li Changsi glanced at the assistant director. It was indeed a dog-eat-dog variety show called Polar Bear. The pit they dug was actually here.
"So, fans don't know which two couples are lovers, and the variety show is basically a hodgepodge in the early stages?" Li Changsi narrowed her slender and charming eyes. No wonder she was paid such a high salary. This hodgepodge of CPs must have been very popular in the early stages.
The assistant director's forehead was covered in sweat. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's mainly because you're so popular. If we announced your relationship with Mr. Lu from the beginning, Mr. Lu's screen time would have to be increased, otherwise the production team would be criticized to death by the fans."
Fans of the show "Man vs. Wild" visit the official Weibo account every day. Of course, these are just excuses. They have no choice but to do so because their sponsors demanded it.
Li Changsi glanced at Lu Qi, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Then let's keep it a secret. But you are not allowed to accept dates from other female guests."
Lu Qi's thin lips curled slightly, and he held the back of her head with his big hands. He leaned his handsome face closer to her and smiled, "It's mutual."
Li Changsi felt a little excited. It was exciting to have a secret relationship at public expense!
After the behind-the-scenes footage was shot, Li Changsi followed the production crew's car to the Heart-Stirring House. As for Lu Qi, he was busy with the affairs of various group companies at the end of the year and was absent on the first day.
The dating variety show "Next Stop Heartbeat" gathered three top stars and was recorded on New Year's Day. As soon as the live broadcast room opened at noon, fans from all over the world flocked into the room, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the first guest.
——Producing crew, hurry up! Start recording right away, we want to have a sweet romance.
——I don’t know who the first guest will be.
In the past few days, the super topic forums and Weibo have been full of high-intensity spectators. Except for Yu Yang who was a background board, the fans dug up all the secrets of the three stars. Then, there was a three-day online argument about who would be the CP with Bai Zhuo. In the end, Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue won a small victory, mainly because all the fans of Li Changsi voted for these two people, and Song Xingyue's fans also voted in the opposite direction. The two sets of fans highlighted four words: Don't get close to me.
Bai Zhuo's fans are already collectively giving up, with more quitting daily. The remaining fans are only keeping the dream alive that their idol won't date. Who among their fans would accept their favorite idol appearing on a dating show, kissing and confessing their love? It's like a massive heartbreak scene.
In the past few days, Bai Zhuo's fans have been in a hot temper, like firecrackers that explode at any moment. They have already caught all the female guests and have quarreled with them, even ordinary people.
——Here it comes, here it comes.
In the live broadcast room, fans were excited. They saw someone coming in from the door with a suitcase, revealing a pretty and cute face. It was an amateur female guest.
Fans were disappointed. After the first amateur female guest arrived, other guests soon followed. The second guest was the male artist Yu Yang. Yu Yang and the amateur female guest Mi Tian quickly became familiar with each other. Mi Tian even asked Yu Yang for an autographed photo.
Next to arrive were Song Xingyue and the amateur finance guy, followed by Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo, who arrived one after the other.
As soon as the three top stars arrived, the live broadcast room became lively.
Li Changsi arrived at the Xindong House dragging his suitcase and saw that most of the other guests had arrived. Except for Song Xingyue and Bai Zhuo, he basically didn't recognize anyone else.
As soon as Li Changsi arrived, both the male and female guests secretly exclaimed "Oh shit". There is indeed a gap between celebrities and ordinary people. The ordinary guests found by the program team are all beauties picked from hundreds, but when standing next to Li Changsi, they instantly become supporting roles.
The last amateur female guest is Shao Ling, a very elegant female psychologist.
Seeing that all the guests had arrived, the directors smiled and handed over a card. Song Xingyue, who received it, read it: "Welcome everyone to the Heart-Stirring House. You will spend a romantic month here. The eighth male guest is absent due to some matters and will arrive later. Please find your room, clean up, and return to the living room to get to know each other."
"So some people didn't come on the first day. That's good, because it means we have one less competitor. Teacher Li, let me help you with your luggage." Yu Yang smiled brightly at Li Changsi and helped her carry her luggage. "I'm a fan of yours. Can you sign an autograph for me later?"
In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments was full of laughter. This was outrageous. He had just signed a photo for someone else, and the next moment he went to Li Changsi to ask for an autograph. Li Changsi was indeed a woman at the top of the food chain.
——Bai Zhuo also wanted to carry Li Changsi’s luggage, but Yu Yang got there first, hahahaha.
——The financial man helped Song Xingyue with her luggage. The quality of the male guests this year is quite high, and each one of them is very handsome.
——Who is the male guest who didn't come? He didn't come on the first day. Is this a big deal for an amateur? I guess he has a special identity.
——There won’t be anyone who really ships people together, right? The scenes between celebrities and ordinary people clearly have a script, so just watch the celebrities’ daily lives and that’s it.
——I support amateur couples, they feel more realistic, and I feel like celebrities are just acting.
—Was there no unpacking part? I want to know more about my daughter’s life. I guess the suitcases are full of test papers and books. Others come here to fall in love, but my daughter is definitely here to do homework.
When fans were chatting in the live broadcast room, they saw Li Changsi coming downstairs with a thick test paper. The barrage of comments all started to laugh. It's worthy of you, Li Changsi, your image as a top student remains intact.
Are Li Changsi’s art exam results coming out soon? I don’t know how she did, but I believe in her image as a top student.
——Fellow candidates, the results should be out this week. According to gossip, there is a candidate in our class who is so outstanding that he shocked the examiners. I wonder if it is Sibao.
——I advise Li Changsi’s fans to calm down. They pretend to be a top student every day, but they failed the college entrance examination. If they are capable, wait until the results are out before bragging. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed for your master.
There was a discordant sound in the barrage for a moment, but fortunately it was quickly drowned out by the sea of barrage.
Li Changsi, holding the test paper, met Song Xingyue, who was holding the script, by chance. The two nodded and started chatting.
Song Xingyue: "I didn't expect you to participate in the dating variety show. You have received an invitation to the Weibo Night Awards Ceremony in three days. Let's go together then."
Song Xingyue guessed that the eighth male guest was Li Changsi's boyfriend, Lu Qi, but she never imagined that he would actually have the courage to participate in a dating show with his boyfriend and announce their relationship. She thought Li Changsi still had feelings for Bai Zhuo.
Li Changsi nodded: "Okay, I didn't expect you to come."
Song Xingyue smiled and said, "The program team gave us too much. Female artists like us without any background are most likely to be forgotten by the market. More exposure is also good."
Song Xingyue looked at her delicate and charming face, and felt relieved for some reason. She used to be a little envious of Li Changsi, thinking that it was Li Changsi's appearance that took away Bai Zhuo's attention, and strangled the seeds of her love that had not yet sprouted in the cradle, thus ending her dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
However, she also figured it out during this period of time. Li Changsi didn't care about Bai Zhuo at all. Her relationship with her boyfriend outside the circle has always been stable. Her career development has also been unexpectedly good. She played a bad hand extremely beautifully and became a winner in life. It's time for her to look forward.
Seeing that she had untied her knot in her heart and that it wasn't directed at Bai Zhuo, Li Changsi smiled sincerely and said, "Indeed, they offered too much, and I couldn't refuse."
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that all grudges were forgotten with just one smile.
The fans of the two groups in the live broadcast room were a little stunned. Li Changsi and Song Xingyue? It seems that they can be supported! The two fans who were fighting each other a while ago shook hands and made peace. The two young ladies are so beautiful!
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for gaining the friendship of the heroine. The heroine's halo buff has been successfully superimposed." The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a ding dong announcement.
The system continued, "The system detected that the heroine has voluntarily given up her relationship with the hero, and has lost her status as the heroine, becoming an important female supporting role. There is currently no heroine in the world."
Li Changsi exclaimed in surprise and asked the system, "Why didn't the male protagonist lose his status after falling in love with someone else, but the female protagonist was reduced to an important female supporting role? Does the world consciousness also favor men over women? Is it discriminatory against women?"
The system was stumped by the question: "System analysis is underway. The male protagonist's infidelity fits the script of the melodramatic entertainment industry character setting, resulting in the ups and downs of the plot and a sharp increase in melodrama. Therefore, the buff has increased instead of decreased. This is not gender discrimination. After testing, the host is one step away from becoming the female protagonist. Will she evolve into the world's female protagonist?"
"No evolution, thank you." Li Changsi refused decisively.
The others packed their bags and came downstairs to introduce themselves. Li Changsi, Bai Zhuo, and the others needed no introduction. The four strangers were psychologist Shao Ling, fashion blogger Mi Tian, a finance man, and the last one, Lu Qi, whose profession was unknown.
That night was the first meeting of the heart. Each guest wrote down his or her crush, and then the male guest could knock on the door and invite the female guest for the first date.
This time, the official Weibo account held a lottery event for guessing the names of two couples, and ten koi grand prizes were drawn from all the fans who guessed the two couples correctly. The prizes ranged from 10,000 yuan to celebrity peripherals, which was very attractive.
As soon as this segment started, all the fans in the live broadcast room turned into Sherlock Holmes and began to analyze which four people might be a couple and who Bai Zhuo would invite?
——The program team has revealed the guests' crushes. Holy crap, the finance guy and Song Xingyue are a double-headed pair, and Song Xingyue didn't even choose Bai Zhuo. Oh my god, what happened?
—Li Changsi didn’t write down her crush, so she gave up!!! This young lady is truly focused on her career! Hahahahaha.
——Bai Zhuo and Yu Yang chose Li Changsi. As expected, Li Changsi is extremely charming, hahahaha.
——There is no one to choose the two amateur female guests, so the question is, where are the two couples hiding?
— My blind guess is that Bai Zhuo and Li Changsi are a couple. This pairing is already confirmed, and the super topic is full of sweet stories. There is another couple that is too secretive, and I suspect they are confusing the audience.
Seconded. Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo should be locked in for me, okay? Miss, even if you abstain, you can't hide your relationship status, hahahaha.
The barrage of guessing in the live broadcast room was very popular, and the male guests began to knock on doors to invite female guests.
Just like if there are only three male guests, the female guests who are left alone can invite the male guests in return.
The first one is Yu Yang, a sunny and handsome male artist who debuted as a child star. Although his popularity is not as high as Li Changsi and the other two, he also has a group of loyal fans. Many people support him and Li Changsi as a sister-brother CP, a beautiful and cold queen and a younger and sunny little wolfdog. Many people support this pair.
Yu Yang went straight to knock on Li Changsi's door.
——Hahaha, Sibao almost made me laugh to death. The other female guests were nervously and anxiously waiting for the male guests to invite them, but she was the only one doing her homework with headphones on, and she looked reluctant when she opened the door.
——Hahaha, Li Changsi is here to do homework.
In the live broadcast room, Li Changsi looked at Yu Yang who came to invite her and declined with a smile: "I have to go out to try on clothes for the evening party tomorrow."
Yu Yang's face fell: "Sister Si, you are too heartless."
It’s just a puppy!
Li Changsi looked at him with a half-smile, which made Yu Yang's heart beat faster. Damn, could Li Changsi have seen through their relationship? No, he hid it very well.
Yu Yang’s invitation failed!
The second one is a financial man, who invites Song Xingyue and the invitation is successful.
The third one is blanching.
The fans in the live broadcast room held their breath instantly. When they saw him walk through the corridor and knock on the female guest's door, Li Changsi's delicate and beautiful little face appeared at the door, and wailing was heard everywhere.
Bai Zhuo’s girlfriend fans were so angry that they cried.
——Sisters, I can’t stand it anymore. I feel like I’ve been heartbroken. Time and time again, Brother Zhuo always chooses Li Changsi. I feel like he really likes Li Changsi, sob.
——But the two of them still haven’t made it official. Sisters, just wait for another half a month. If they are really together, they will definitely make it official in half a month. If not, that would be great.
——It’s fake, everything is scripted, hold on sisters, Brother Zhuo is an award-winning actor, he can act in any role well!
——Wucao, Li Changsi refused, refused!
The comments were filled with exclamation points. Li Changsi actually rejected Brother Zhuo?!
After Li Changsi rejected Bai Zhuo, he saw that there was no piercing pain in his mind, and the system did not say there would be punishment. His eyes suddenly lit up and he called out to the system.
System: "According to data analysis, the world lacks a female protagonist. Everyone has the potential to be promoted to the female protagonist. The male protagonist has feelings for you, so your ruthless rejection of the male protagonist fits the script of a melodramatic and abusive love. Congratulations, host. You have immunity until the male protagonist falls in love with someone else."
It's really like a case of things changing over time!
Once the male protagonist falls in love with someone else, he won't be able to confess his feelings to her, and she won't be able to refuse! So, this damn master-servant bond was finally broken by her!
Li Changsi felt relieved and smiled at Bai Zhuo, "Teacher Bai, I'm sorry, my schedule is fully booked tomorrow."
Bai Zhuo was stunned when he saw her smile so brightly towards him for the first time. Her eyes were full of water and she was so beautiful that he did not find it so hard to accept the rejection.
Anyway, there is still a long way to go. His goal is to make Lu Qi give up, not to make Li Changsi accept him quickly.
Bai Zhuo nodded elegantly, "Then I hope to have the opportunity to discuss acting with Teacher Li next time."
Bai Zhuo gracefully exited the stage, and the remaining female contestants began to vote in reverse. Yu Yang accepted psychologist Shao Ling's invitation, but Bai Zhuo declined. Mi Tian, Li Changsi, and Bai Zhuo all remained undateable.
The first day of the dating variety show is basically over, and what follows is the guests’ daily live broadcasts.
Fans in the live broadcast room were still not satisfied and started to analyze the situation. Among them, Bai Zhuo and Li Changsi were the most likely couple, followed by Song Xingyue and the finance man, and Yu Yang and the female psychologist. However, it was only the first day, and there was still a male guest who had not appeared, so there might be variables.
On the first day of recording, "Next Stop Heartbeat" dominated the hot searches, the popularity was off the charts, and the topics exceeded 100 million. Especially the segment of guessing the couple, it broke the traditional single model of dating variety shows and created a good interaction between variety shows and netizens. The program crew made a lot of money and counted the money with a smile. There are still heavyweight guests who have not appeared yet, and it will be even more bloody later.
Li Changsi completed today's study tasks, took a shower, and went downstairs to get hot water. The guests downstairs had not yet rested. They were chatting in groups of three or four or reading books and listening to music, all trying to create opportunities to spend time together.
After drinking the hot water, she went back to her room to sleep. She closed her eyes and couldn't fall asleep for an hour. Unable to bear it any longer, she sent a video to Lu Qi.
"Can't sleep?" The man's low, laughing voice came through the electricity.
