Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen suddenly remembered the nervous look on her face when the director mentioned this earlier.
So, did Lu Zheng notice this back then?
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but smile and then nodded.
While Qiao Zhen was thinking, Lu Zheng secretly pressed a button from an angle she couldn't see.
He walked up to Qiao Zhen and suddenly asked, "What are your feelings for me?"
Qiao Zhen was caught off guard by his question and couldn't help but be a little taken aback.
"Why...why are you suddenly asking this?"
Lu Zheng directly asked her to answer: "Can't I ask?"
"OK……"
As Qiao Zhen spoke, she backed away, her voice growing softer and softer.
So how do you feel about me?
Lu Zheng's sudden words left Qiao Zhen completely bewildered.
But looking at the man's face so close to hers, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and stared at him nervously.
Hidden behind Lu Zheng's ear was a microphone with excellent sound pickup.
The microphone sounded great, and the whole room echoed with the panting of Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng.
Qiao Zhen's face suddenly turned red for some reason, and her voice trembled slightly: "I'm...I'm alright."
"What the heck is 'okay'???"
"Are you just keeping us in suspense by neither admitting nor completely denying it?"
The onlookers had already seen everything through the miniature camera on the back of Lu Zheng's head and couldn't help but passionately express their opinions online.
Because of their ambiguous yet unspoken relationship online, some people believe that they have been together for a long time.
Seeing this scene today, they started making wild guesses again.
"So they're not together? I thought they'd been together for ages!"
Lu Zheng looked at her current reaction and seemed dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but frown.
"I'll give you a chance to answer again."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and said, "It's fine."
"Hmm." Lu Zheng's brows finally relaxed, and he nodded in satisfaction: "Then I wish Zhenzhen a lot of fun on the show."
"The same to you."
Seeing that Lu Zheng was a completely different person on the show compared to in real life, Qiao Zhen got goosebumps.
After saying this with a forced smile, she quickly left Lu Zheng's room.
After coming out, she went into the restroom and secretly sent a message to Yan Simiao.
Because of the show's popularity, they chose to broadcast this variety show live, so Qiao Zhen couldn't help but wonder what the online reviews of her were like.
"Don't worry, sis, your split-screen is a sure thing on this show, and it's even gained you a lot of fans."
Yan Simiao had clearly been following the program's progress and replied immediately.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt relieved. She left the restroom and returned to the lobby, only to find that everyone had already arrived. She quickly found an inconspicuous spot to sit down.
"That cautious look in your eyes just now was so cute, hahaha!"
"Has no one said this woman is pretentious? She's clearly just a newly popular internet celebrity, but she insists on acting like she's a big shot and comes last."
"This is a dating show, not a TV drama. Why talk about who's more popular? Shouldn't we be talking about who's more attractive to the opposite sex?"
The comments on the screen started to argue, and not long after, the user who posted the second comment was banned.
Upon seeing this, Yan Simiao immediately went to check the information of the whistleblower, wanting to see which righteous person it was.
Upon investigation, it turned out she had indeed discovered something.
The IP address of the person who made the report happened to be located in Lu Zheng's company.
Without even thinking, it's obvious that it was Lu Zheng's men who did it.
"Alright, now let each guest choose their date for tonight, and let the female guests take out their date setup from the box next to them."
After hearing this, Cui Yi first paired up with a female star, who then took out a slip of paper from the box, but the director didn't allow her to turn it over yet.
Qiao Zhen carefully observed everyone's reactions, trying her best to remain transparent, thinking that she would wait until they finished choosing before she chose, so that she would generate less buzz.
Since it was my first time participating in a program, I was afraid of being criticized. The best approach was to observe and listen more and speak less.
Thinking of this, she slowly moved her feet back, trying to make herself an outsider, but unexpectedly bumped into a fleshy wall behind her.
Qiao Zhen was startled and turned around to find Lu Zheng looking at her with a crooked face and a smile.
"Hello, Ms. Qiao, you've already been chosen by me."
"Ahhh, this is so swoon-worthy, I can't take it!!!"
"Qiao Zhen disagrees, but I do! Honey, look at me!!"
Due to Lu Zheng's stunning good looks, a group of fans has spontaneously formed online who admire his appearance.
Lu Zheng was unaware that his words had caused an uproar in the live chat, with netizens expressing their envy of Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling the director's wicked smile earlier, and suddenly felt like he had been betrayed by the director.
"Won't this pre-arranged decision violate the rules?"
Qiao Zhen asked cautiously.
What she feared most about appearing on the show this time was encountering something like this, which could bring her negative publicity.
After all, they are just ordinary people, not people with strong hearts. If they are subjected to cyberbullying, it can be a real blow.
"I am a special guest invited by the production team, and it was predetermined that I wouldn't break the rules."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen looked up and met Lu Zheng's sly gaze, and she immediately realized the deeper meaning behind his words.
Now that things have come to this point, and considering her relationship with Lu Zheng, it would be unreasonable for me to disagree.
