At half past eight, the living room was already full of people.
Zhuang Li and Xi Ming came down hand in hand. Their hair was half-dried, their eyes were moist with moisture, and their faces were full of satisfaction.
Chang Jinbo glanced at Xi Ming's mouth, which was covered with a little blood and looked like it had been bitten, and anger immediately flashed in his pupils.
These two people must have been hiding in the room kissing! Damn it! Why did you move out in the first place? Chang Jinbo, are you stupid?
Chang Jinbo was furious, but he didn't dare shout in front of the camera. He could only hold his chest and feel uncomfortable in silence.
Fortunately, the show had already started, distracting him a little.
The smiling faces of the five guests appeared on the TV screen. They were indeed Mimi, Roger, Liao Yuan, Fang Yuwu, and Ma Hui as officially announced. All five guests from the first episode were replaced by them.
A TV series that Mimi just finished filming is currently on the air. As the heroine, she is extremely popular now, so she served as the host of this episode.
She was also a new star that Strawberry TV was promoting. After she became famous, she changed jobs and even had a contract lawsuit with Strawberry TV for several years.
Strawberry TV released a lot of negative information about her, saying that she was a master of PUA. Before she became famous, she relied on her boyfriend for support, but she had no gratitude at all. Once she became famous, she kicked him out.
Her boyfriend was an outsider and had a low salary. In order to provide her with a luxurious life, he sold several houses and borrowed a lot of high-interest loans. Finally, he was forced into desperation and committed suicide by jumping off a building, leaving millions of debts for his parents to repay.
It was Strawberry TV that helped her suppress the news of her boyfriend's suicide and also compensated her boyfriend's family with a large sum of money on her behalf.
In order to make Mimi famous, Strawberry TV spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. But this woman has no heart. No matter how good you are to her, she will not remember it and will only abandon you for higher interests.
Sure enough, in less than two years, Mimi hooked up with a wealthy sponsor, then tore up Strawberry TV and jumped to the sponsor's company.
When Strawberry TV invited her to be a celebrity guest on Love House, she agreed without a second thought. She felt that the sponsor was so powerful that Strawberry TV must be afraid of her in extending this olive branch.
However, she still remembers the grudges from those years, so it is impossible for her to record the program properly. She has already made up her mind to make trouble for Strawberry TV.
The other four guests are in a similar situation to her, all of them are covered in negative news, but they are doing well in the entertainment industry.
Several people greeted the audience one after another, each gave a brief opening speech, and then looked at the screen hanging in front of them with great interest.
The faces of the eight guests appeared on the screen, chatting and laughing together in a harmonious atmosphere. Towards the end of the first half of the episode, the second round of letter writing began. Zhuang Li closed his eyes, holding his forehead, as if lost in thought, with a blank piece of paper in front of him.
Seeing this, Mimi tapped the table and said, "I want to digress. Do you know why Zhuang Li is so distressed?"
The other guests looked at each other with subtle smiles: "Everyone should know this, it's been quite a big deal recently."
Mimi leaned back in her chair and asked with interest, "So, who will he choose?"
"If it were me, I would run away because it would be embarrassing to choose anyone. This kind of person shouldn't be on a dating variety show. If other guests fall in love with him, wouldn't they be falling into a fire pit?" Roger criticized bluntly.
The other stars also nodded in agreement.
Mimi nodded and said, "I agree with Mr. Luo's point of view. So I guess Zhuang Li won't choose anyone and will even run away. Who are the other people's letters to? Come on, let's make some predictions!"
Mimi picked up the chalk and wrote down her answer, while the other stars also guessed with great interest. The first half of the first episode ended here, and a commercial break came in.
In the living room of the Love House, everyone looked at Zhuang Li, with worry, sympathy and pity in their eyes.
Meng Lan covered the corners of her mouth and thought with glee: After watching this episode, I wonder if Xi Ming can still stand firmly by Zhuang Li's side.
Yi Jiangnan glanced at the five celebrities chatting animatedly on the TV screen and shook his head imperceptibly. Strawberry TV was truly impressive, and their methods of revenge were incredibly subtle. Who could possibly prevent this?
Chang Jinbo turned to see Zhuang Li's reaction, only to find him holding Xi Ming's veiny hand and whispering something soothingly into his ear. He was surprisingly indifferent to such criticism and humiliation, demonstrating his strong mental fortitude.
The commercials quickly ended, and the second half began. Several celebrities announced their answers one after another, then looked at the screen with anticipation.
As expected, a bright red X appeared next to Zhuang Li's name on the screen. He hadn't voted for anyone, so the five celebrities who had guessed correctly cheered. They also correctly predicted the pairings of the other amateurs, and applause erupted from the observation room.
At this moment, Zhuang Li's personal interview began. The director asked him why he didn't vote for Chang Jinbo. He smiled lazily and spoke slowly but clearly: "Family background, ability, knowledge, connotation, from every aspect, he is not worthy of me."
Five celebrity guests: "..." We underestimated this guy's shamelessness after all!
Chang Jinbo, who was sitting in front of the TV, said: "..."
Shame, disappointment, sadness... all sorts of conflicting emotions rushed into Chang Jinbo's heart, making his nose sore. He couldn't help but shout, "Zhuang Li, how am I not worthy of you?"
Zhuang Li raised his slender index finger, pressed it against the bright red lips, and made a soft "hush" sound.
"Quiet." As he said this, he was still staring at the TV, not even glancing at Chang Jinbo.
His attitude was so nonchalant that Chang Jinbo, feeling ignored, should have been angry, but he could not help but keep his mouth shut. He had been tamed by the arrogant and indifferent Zhuang Li without even realizing it.
Then, the next second, Zhuang Li's voice, filled with longing, came from the TV. He was describing his criteria for choosing a partner, and one by one, all of them overlapped with someone else's.
Seeing this, Xi Ming, who was originally filled with anger, couldn't help but laugh. He pointed at the TV screen and asked in a low voice, "Are you talking about me? Am I your standard for choosing a partner?"
His eyes were full of surprise.
Zhuang Li interlocked his fingers and said seriously, "To be precise, my standards for choosing a partner are like this because you are like this. If you were different, my standards for choosing a partner would also be different. No one else can meet my standards except you."
Xi Ming reached out and hugged the little curly-haired boy tightly. At this moment, he felt extremely satisfied.
Zhuang Li patted him on the back and warned him, "Promise me, no matter what you see behind you, you must not get angry. I don't care, and you don't care either, okay?"
Xi Ming shook his head: "No, I can't stand their belittling of you."
"If you're angry, you won't be able to eat the spicy hot pot." Zhuang Li touched his stiff hair.
Xi Ming: “…”
"Okay, I promise not to be angry." Xi Ming quickly agreed.
The two then let go of each other and continued watching TV, their left and right hands still tightly clasped together.
Chang Jinbo was irritated by their intimate gesture and raised his voice to ask, "Zhuang Li, my personal conditions are much better than Xi Ming's. What makes you say I'm not worthy of you?"
At this moment, the sound of him and Han Kun talking on the phone came from the TV. He vowed that he would definitely seduce Zhuang Li and then reject her harshly in front of everyone in the audience, making her fall from heaven to hell.
The five stars in the observation room exclaimed: "…" Is the plot going to be this exciting? This episode is going to be a hit!
Chang Jinbo: “!!!”
He couldn't utter a single question.
He looked at the TV with horror, then at Zhuang Li, his hands and feet faltering, not knowing where to turn. He had never expected the director to actually edit this into the feature film. Hadn't he already informed the cameramen? Why didn't they listen to him? Didn't they know his father was Chang Fan?
Inside the Love Cabin, all the guests were stunned by Chang Jinbo's declaration of revenge. After all this fuss, it turned out that this guy didn't really like Zhuang Li at all, but was actually helping Han Kun get revenge!
How are we going to get along from now on? This is too awkward! The production team is stirring up trouble!
Zhuang Li, however, was not surprised at all. He raised his fingertips and said, "I warned you long ago, don't look for me if you want to play emotional games."
Xi Ming stood up with a fierce look on his face, clenching his fists as big as clay pots until they crackled. "You want revenge, right? Come on, follow me to the yard outside, and I'll make you take it!"
Chang Jinbo subconsciously shrank his neck, hugged his head, and hid behind the sofa.
Xi Ming was about to chase after him, but Zhuang Li said calmly, "Malatang."
These three words, without a beginning or an end, were like a spell, pinning Xi Ming back to the sofa. He took a few deep breaths, then clasped Curly's hand and continued watching TV.
Chang Jinbo poked half his head out from behind the sofa and shouted hoarsely, "Zhuang Li, I'm sorry! I was just hot-headed at the time and said nonsense. I really didn't mean to tease you later!"
All the guests were silent and dared not say a word.
Meng Lan was surprised, but she was laughing in her heart: "Hahahahaha, oh my god, I thought Chang Jinbo really changed his mind, but I didn't know he was just playing tricks on F man! Hahahaha! This moment is really embarrassing, I feel embarrassed for F man!"
The system taunted, "Take a good look at Zhuang Li. Is he embarrassed? He's really putting into practice the saying—as long as you're not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. As for the skill of 'shamelessness,' you can't catch up to him even if you study for eight hundred years!"
Meng Lan turned around and saw Zhuang Li holding his chin with one hand, watching the TV with a half-smile on his face, with no expression of embarrassment or humiliation at all.
He even said in a contemptuous voice: "Playing with me? Are you worthy?"
Meng Lan: "..." Lost! It is an irrefutable truth that a shameless person is invincible!
Chang Jinbo nodded frantically: "You are right, I am not worthy. Please don't be angry! I was wrong!" He didn't realize how nervous he was about Zhuang Li.
Yet, just seconds before, he had aggressively asked the other party: "Why am I unworthy?"
Meng Lan: “…”
She screamed in her heart: "Crazy, crazy! Chang Jinbo and Xi Ming are crazy!"
The system explained, "They're not crazy. Zhuang Li's skills in seducing people are just too advanced! If we only look at his background and origins, Zhuang Li is indeed an F-man. But if we talk about his skills in seducing people, he's definitely S-rank!"
Meng Lan was so angry that she couldn't even breathe smoothly, but she still had to force a smile on her face. Fortunately, the five celebrity guests were still clear-headed and were criticizing Zhuang Li's every word and action.
