Chapter 87
Time goes back ten minutes.
"You'll never guess where I saw Wang Qi's cousin."
Feng Chuan looked at Song Yun, who looked a little embarrassed in the live broadcast room in front of him, and said in the group in amazement.
She was just thinking about relaxing today, and happened to see a new live variety show on Pineapple TV, so she clicked on it to watch.
——Then she was forcibly controlled by Wang Qi’s eldest cousin.
"Where?"
Friends also asked curiously in the group.
Feng Chuan directly threw the link up and sighed.
"I never thought I'd have a chance to eat melons live. By the way, does Wang Qi know about this?"
"That guy must know, otherwise he wouldn't have come up so often. I guess he's watching right now. But it looks like the relationship between this cousin and his husband has been restored."
Friends in the group were talking.
"It can't be helped. He's already married. Besides, it seems that his brother-in-law only has trouble handling the relationship between his eldest cousin and his eldest cousin's parents. He seems to be a normal person in other aspects."
"Look, he's still whispering to his cousin. They seem to be on good terms."
As her girlfriends were talking, Feng Chuan looked at the rows of comments flashing across the screen in front of her and shook her head.
"What are you whispering about?" "Little husband rwtt!" "Teacher, I'm reporting someone for secretly dating and running away!"
She took a screenshot and said, "Now I truly understand the feelings of the NPCs in those melon-eating articles. I feel really good looking at these unaware viewers."
And the girlfriends saw these comments and started sending emojis of approval.
"We understand. It's that feeling that only we know the truth."
At this time, the guests in the observation room had finished introducing themselves, and the host took the opportunity to explain the situation.
The four couples present will immediately observe and comment on the amateurs, and finally give out a couple every day who are most likely to be together.
The winner will receive a prize funded by the sponsor.
Feng Chuan didn't care much about the prize money - it would definitely be donated to a specific foundation whose name he had never heard of.
As for whether it will reach the hands of those who should be rescued, this is a terrifying question.
She just wanted to know what the amateur being observed this time looked like. After all, there had been cases before where the amateurs looked quite unpleasant to the audience.
Although it did not lead to cyberbullying, the ratings did drop drastically.
Fortunately, the director this time was quite thoughtful. The first three female guests who appeared were all beautiful in their own ways, and the male guest who came out later also had handsome features.
And he doesn't have the masculine scent that comes from body odor.
Feng Chuan nodded with temporary satisfaction.
And the barrage of comments also started to appear.
"I feel like the quality of the amateur guests this time is really high. At least their facial features are regular, and the ladies are also super good-looking."
"I'm now looking forward to who will come in next."
"Speaking of which, why are there three female guests and five male guests? This is not evenly distributed."
"It's an old trick in variety shows. Do you believe they'll wait until the show reaches the middle stage when everyone has a fixed couple, and then bring in the remaining two female guests? Everyone loves to watch the Shura field."
"Besides, the country has opened up a bit recently. Who knows, the arrows might get even messier?"
The director looked at the comments passing by her and nodded with a smile.
Yes, that's what she thought. In fact, the script this time is such a big brawl. After all, the higher-ups have already agreed, so she will naturally give the audience the Shura scene they want to see the most.
At the end, she will be given a boost by kicking out the most philandering ones to promote the idea that being loyal is the best. This way, the higher-ups won't make things too difficult for her.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with having the script guessed by others. That's what a good script is. Even if you know the general plot, you just want to see the live Shura scene.
Besides...
The director looked at the host, who was introducing the fourth male guest.
——She still has a secret weapon that she hasn’t used yet.
Thinking of this, she laughed "hehehe" again, startling the assistant beside her.
Fortunately, apart from the assistant, no one paid attention to the director, and everyone was doing their job to control the sharp increase in traffic.
Feng Chuan also felt that the appearance of the fourth male guest in the live broadcast room was different from the others.
——He even has background music!
Such obvious differential treatment made the three male guests present look a little unhappy, but the female guests showed expressions of interest.
The next second, a figure appeared at the door.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, barrages of comments instantly began to flood the screen.
"No, man, you're participating in a dating show with this face? Are you sure this isn't a newcomer trained by some company?"
"This face can turn those ugly people into country chickens in a second!"
"Holy crap! I was about to vote, but when I opened the comments section, I realized this isn't the talent show."
"Is this really a face I can see for free?"
"How does he manage to have such vibrant facial features and still appear so pure and beautiful?"
"Not only that, there's also a hint of that faint deathly aura, but it's different from the deathly aura of a working person. It's like the deathly aura of someone who just came out of an ancient castle, still carrying a hint of the dark and damp smell. It's very faint, but has a unique flavor."
"I finally understand what those meme-makers mean when they say 'brother is charming and beautiful'. I used to find it a bit awkward, but now, um, it's pretty good, very attractive."
"You're greedy for his body, you're a slut.jpg"
"Wu Zetian: Are you new here? I have never seen you before.jpg"
The barrage of comments began to flood the screen like crazy, but the studio was relatively calm.
The three male guests began to applaud the handsome young man, but some of them were shaking their heads and seemed to be mocking themselves.
The female guests were more reserved, and at most their eyes showed a bit of interest.
At this time, the host began to routinely ask the handsome young man in front of him why he was on this dating show.
"...After all, with your looks, you shouldn't be lacking in companions."
The host said this with a smile, his words were a little sarcastic, but it was also a normal operation in a variety show.
I'm already used to the barrage.
"Here we go again. Is he a pure little boy this time, or is he busy with his career or studies?"
"I don't know, but I can guarantee from my experience in relationships that this man is absolutely ripe."
The commentators teased, and then they heard the handsome young man pause before speaking slowly.
"...First of all, I would like to thank the director for inviting me. Secondly, my husband passed away last year, and my family—my brother Song Yun and my brother-in-law Shi Xuanzhu—are very worried about my mental state. They hope that I can participate in this program to move on from this relationship."
The handsome young man added nonchalantly, "Although I don't think it's necessary—I have a good relationship with my husband."
Six guests and one host in the studio: ...
Barrage: ...
"ah???"
The studio was silent, but the barrage of comments was exploding.
"Did he just reveal that he would no longer sell goods through livestreaming?"
"Since my brother-in-law is Shi Xuanzhu, he shouldn't need it, right?"
"Come on, Shi Xuanzhu's strength is okay, but his popularity is not!"
"The clothes he's wearing are custom-made and can't be returned. The watch he's wearing isn't a knockoff either. He probably wouldn't bother selling stuff on a livestream."
"So after welcoming the innocent short male, the cool and domineering white-collar worker, and the cheerful bald athlete, we finally welcome a beautiful widow?!"
"What's there to be dissatisfied with? At least she's good-looking. Even if her sexual orientation isn't female, the director must have a purpose for putting her here. I guess it's to increase the effect and popularity of our show."
What was said in this barrage made sense, and the audience began to agree with it.
"I think it's just for the eye-candy..."
"That's true, and the widow's character is really..."
"I understand you in the front. Although it's not very moral, he really looks like he's about to break, and he's still so bitter."
"Great, it's the widow, we are saved!"
"I always say my feeling is never wrong, that's a mature man!"
The discussion in the barrage was in full swing. Feng Chuan looked at the row of barrages passing by and felt secretly happy again.
'Although they knew he was a widower, they certainly didn't know that he had several suitors following him.'
The discussion among the girlfriends group was heated again. They were a little confused as to why such a big boss would be willing to be on a dating show.
Fortunately, Wang Qi gave the answer.
"My second cousin was worried about my eldest cousin, so he decided to accompany him to the variety show. My eldest cousin was also worried that my second cousin wouldn't be able to get over his relationship, so he went. It also happened to be a good opportunity to promote the company - my second cousin has just opened an entertainment company."
This reason made the people in the girlfriends group understand a little, and then the girlfriends saw Wang Qi said with a little pride.
"Just when I was planning to quit my job, my second cousin let me join the company directly. He even paid for my social security and paid for me to find a lawyer to file for labor arbitration with the company. Don't even think about deducting a penny from my overtime pay, hehehe."
The girlfriends group immediately started to focus on Wang Qi, and all of them were shouting that if you become rich, don't forget each other and hold on to your thighs.
Feng Chuan followed suit and posted a few words before putting down his phone, intending to watch the last male guest.
However, Feng Chuan felt that with Ye Wangxing as a widow, the male guests behind him, no matter what their personalities were, were destined to be overshadowed.
One minute later.
Feng Chuan looked at the red-haired man holding the handsome young man.
I was confused.
The comments on the barrage were similar. At the beginning, they were still discussing the appearance of the fifth male guest.
"He's actually a foreigner? Damn, he looks so handsome, but why is he wearing sunglasses?"
"I don't know, it feels like an accessory, but I have to say the face looks pretty good."
"He's got a nice, strong body, too. Wow."
But when he stopped being the host and walked directly to Ye Wangxing, something seemed wrong with the barrage.
"Did this foreigner not understand or was he pretending? Why did he go straight to the widow? He didn't even look at the female guest."
"It turns out that good-looking widows are really attractive."
"Oh my god, I have a bad feeling. Could this be the director's second surprise for us?"
"Woc oh woc! Are we just brothers kissing? Even falling in love at first sight can't happen that quickly!"
"Is this considered xsr?"
"Why don't foreigners also kick widows' doors at night?"
"He didn't kick at night in front of me. He kicked openly and honestly!"
It was not until the loud slap sounded that the barrage of comments stopped temporarily, and Feng Chuan came back to her senses. She looked at the red-haired man who was pushed away in disbelief - there was still a mosaic at the corner of his mouth. If the mosaic was not on for one second, the entire live broadcast room might be blocked.
Feng Chuan could hear the wailing of the director and staff through the screen.
But I have to say that this red-haired man is really handsome.
He was tall and strong, with a dog tag that was a little scuffed but still shiny. His jacket was of the street-fashion kind, but not so trendy that it would make you wet; it was just the right amount of trendy.
Although his eyes were covered by sunglasses and could not be seen before, his high nose bridge and superior jawline proved that no matter how ugly this man was, he was not that ugly.
Now the red-haired man turned his face to the side, and half of his sunglasses were knocked off by the slap just now, revealing his eyes that seemed like flowing gold - and that male model face.
The corners of his mouth were drawn back, and he looked angry.
The handsome young man who had just slapped the man saw the man's appearance and subconsciously took a step back with a little vigilance.
As if she was afraid that the man would get angry.
The barrage of comments was happy, "Oh oh oh! He slapped him! Good job!" "To deal with this kind of person, just slap him." There was an endless stream of comments like this.
Until a barrage appeared.
"Wait, this doesn't feel right—it feels like I'm rewarding him!"
As this barrage appeared on the screen, the red-haired man poked his beaten cheek with his tongue and smiled playfully.
"Sweetheart, after a month apart, this is how you treat your friend?"
The red-haired man actually didn't care at all, and even raised the corner of his mouth. He turned his head to look at the handsome young man and spoke in a familiar and even teasing tone.
This caused the barrage of comments to start screaming wildly again. In fact, some people were already tired and they really didn't have time to refresh the screen, but the facts proved that today's live broadcast was full of energy.
"I didn't come up and forcefully kiss my friend - and how did you manage to get your passport and ID in a month?"
The handsome young man's words made everyone a little confused, but the red-haired man said with a smile.
"Sweetheart, next time you tear up my ID, remember to set it on fire - I have the originals, so it's really easy to replace them."
Barrage: ...
Even Feng Chuan typed a series of question marks, but when she was about to send it out...
"There are too many people, the live broadcast room is overcrowded~"
The iconic little man of the live streaming platform appeared on the screen crying, accompanied by a black screen.
I've gathered a bunch of screaming audience members who I want to send out: ...
After the live broadcast room went offline, everyone immediately flocked to Weibo, and within half an hour, the dating show topic #Who'sSincerity# was pushed to the top of the list.
After cursing the director and the maintenance staff of the live broadcast platform, the audience finally regained some sense and began to investigate what had happened.
Then they squatted down to record the screen.
——The number of people in the live broadcast room in the upper right corner shows that at that moment, more than one million people poured into the entire live broadcast room like a tide.
The platform was directly disconnected.
Although this is understandable, the death penalty is inevitable. The entire Internet was instantly filled with people who went crazy because of this dating show.
"I've only eaten half of the melon! What kind of relationship does Mr. Widow Ye have with that red-haired handsome guy? How could he not be angry after tearing up his passport a month ago and even forcibly kiss him?"
"Am I being humiliated? It seems like the widow has a very good relationship with her husband!!!"
"Help, live broadcast room, fix the live broadcast room for me quickly! Director, I don't want to see any more of those fan fights and angry attacks on the old feudal lord. I just want to know what's going on between the two of them!"
The entire Internet was wailing, and other netizens who did not know the truth also joined in the wailing after watching the screen recording and the appearance of the two people.
While there was a barrage of curses online, the situation in Feng Chuan and his group was not much better, with everyone wailing about what had happened.
Fortunately, they have Wang Qi who has inside information.
"—Oh my god, the entire director team is in chaos now. Some are contacting the platform, and some are going on stage to resolve the conflict between my second cousin and that red-haired guy. They almost got into a fight, but luckily the security personnel stopped it in time. But it seems that my second cousin doesn't want to go live anymore."
Wang Qi said in a long string of words excitedly.
There are even more problems in the group.
"What's going on with the passport? And what's your second cousin's attitude now? Is this considered adultery? Should we call the police?"
Wang Qi also said this after disappearing for a while.
"The passport is what it says. My second cousin shredded all of that red-haired handsome guy's ID and other documents, hoping to stop him from chasing me back to China. But unfortunately, his money was enough to pave the way for him, so he still got here."
"Then I wanted to call the police, but..."
Every word Wang Qi typed revealed a sense of gritted teeth.
"My second cousin said they have a project in cooperation with Red Hair, and it's a deep integration. Red Hair must not be put in jail right now!"
The girlfriends in the group sighed in unison.
"If it's a relationship issue, I can say it's just my own inability to wake up, but when it comes to projects, it's really hard to move forward..."
After all, one thing behind the other can affect the entire body.
Feng Chuan also sighed, then asked, "By the way, where is your cousin? What does he think now?"
"What else can I think of..."
Wang Qi sighed and looked at Song Yun, who was in Shi Xuanzhu's arms, and typed, "He is now trying to kill the red-haired guy who forcefully kissed his brother."
"...But that red-haired guy was smiling and calling him uncle, which almost made my cousin vomit blood."
When the live broadcast room reappeared in front of everyone, what everyone saw was the haggard director, the tired staff, the other six guests with somewhat stiff smiles on their faces - and the handsome red-haired guy with gauze on his face who was still smiling.
and a cold and beautiful widow.
Amidst the barrage of insults, the director first apologized, repeating the same old tune, and then the platform apologized and said they had expanded their capacity.
This did temporarily satisfy the audience in the live broadcast room, but then the issues between the two of them flooded the barrage, and even the quarrels between the fans and the ranking disputes between others were covered up without a trace.
"——Please, this kind of thing is not as enjoyable as eating melons!"
The comment posted by one of the viewers was immediately approved by everyone.
However, the director did not give a straightforward answer to this matter, but just glossed over it vaguely.
However, the director did emphasize the issue of calling the police.
"——Mr. Ye said there's no need to call the police for now, and his assistant will call the embassy if necessary."
This made the audience's imagination run wild, and they kept asking questions in the barrage, but unfortunately the director was unmoved and immediately asked the host to start the process, asking everyone one by one about their ideal type and asking some ice-breaking questions.
No matter how fierce the comments in the live broadcast room were, she would not give in.
If all the truth were revealed now, it would actually cause the show's ratings to drop. She finally caught this explosive point, so we have to let her keep the ratings up!
——What's more, she doesn't know the truth!
The director looked at the young man who was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa and the red-haired man who was driven to the other side and was cut off from contact with Ye Wangxing, but was in a good mood all the time. There was no fear of the future in her eyes - only a desire for heat.
However, she also knew that she'd better control herself, otherwise if she really made Mr. Ye angry and embarrassed and chose to give up participating in the variety show recording, she would be really finished.
With this in mind, the director immediately took out the next script and began to make revisions in front of the entire audience.
While he was revising the script, the host finally came to the handsome young man.
The young man's answer was also quite concise and capable.
"Silver hair, blue eyes, pretty."
This was beyond the host's expectation. She thought the young man would directly talk about her husband's appearance. But before the host could reply, she heard the red-haired man beside her say with a smile:
"Sweetheart, it's nice to change things up occasionally. Don't always hang on to that man. Anyway, sweetheart, if you find a replacement, will that old man crawl out of the ground in anger?"
The red-haired man put his sunglasses on his collar and blinked his beautiful golden eyes as he spoke to the handsome young man.
Unfortunately, the handsome young man ignored him and turned his head to the other side with a very cold expression.
Fortunately, the host immediately stepped forward to smooth things over and started asking questions.
"By the way, what is your ideal type..."
The red-haired man calmed down now. He smiled and said, "Black hair and black eyes. His temper isn't the best, but he has his own principles and can't bring himself to do anything. He's very cute when he hits people. He's very powerful..."
The red-haired man chattered on and on, causing everyone present to steal glances at the handsome young man.
The handsome young man's face became darker and darker. Seeing that the situation was not good, the director immediately instructed the host through the headset to interrupt the red-haired man.
The host was a professional as expected, and she immediately thought of a topic. She asked inconspicuously while the red-haired man was taking a breath.
"By the way, I think you haven't introduced yourself yet. Would you like to say hello to the audience?"
The red-haired man gave his full name with a natural smile.
"Chris Aldrin, it's great to meet you!"
As he spoke, he gracefully performed a European aristocratic etiquette, but the next second a man's short scream attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned their heads and saw the white-collar guest No. 3 looking at the red-haired man in shock. Everyone was still a little confused about what was going on when they heard the white-collar worker's trembling voice say.
"Sorry, the suspect in the wealthy man imprisonment case a month ago seemed to have the same name. I overreacted a bit..."
The white-collar worker apologized subconsciously, but the next second the red-haired man's voice was heard.
"Oh man, you don't have to apologize, in fact—"
The red-haired man said, fiddling with his sunglasses with a smile.
"That's me."
