In fact, Nan Qing had noticed Gu Beiyan, the chosen one of this world, from the very beginning. The four male guests had very different styles of dress.
Of the four, only Gu Beiyan was dressed relatively formally. He wore a well-tailored black shirt and gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes behind the lenses were narrow and sharp. His posture was not deliberate, but he exuded an air of authority.
She could feel that the person was staring at her, his eyes calm and cold, as if they carried little warmth or emotion, but Nanqing could still feel the heat and danger behind that gaze.
Yes, it's confirmed, it's that wolf cub.
Nan Qing smiled slightly, letting him look her over, but she wouldn't even glance in his direction. Instead, she chatted casually with the female guest next to her.
Everyone was present, so not long after, the program producer walked in, clapped his hands, and said:
"Everyone, welcome to 'Heart Signals'. Next, we will conduct a compatibility test for our first meeting. The result of the test will determine who you will date today."
"The test is very simple: you draw, I guess. The male guest draws a picture and writes down the answer to give to our production team. The female guest will guess whose picture she draws correctly and will have her first date with that person today."
Jiang Fan first raised a question: "What if none of us guessed correctly?"
Upon hearing this, the producer gave everyone a meaningful look.
"Then the male guest will choose the answer. If a female guest guesses the same answer from the same male guest, the male guest will also choose the answer."
The production crew set up four pure white whiteboards in the area in front of the sofa, and gave each female guest a small whiteboard to write down the answers they had guessed.
Although the game is simple, the production team really knows how to stir things up. If two, three, or even four female guests all guess the same male guest's drawing, the tension will immediately rise.
As for the male guests, if they really have to choose, it will be difficult to make a choice since they haven't even met each other much yet.
The four male guests were already standing in front of the drawing board and had begun to draw. Shen Yao's style was just like his personality: flamboyant and vibrant. He used a fluorescent marker to scribble on the drawing board, creating elements such as a stage, musical notes, hearts, and a microphone. The elements were so distinct that it was easy to guess his answer.
Lian An's paintings are full of cinematic, romantic, and artistic qualities.
Like Xie Chi, his paintings are simple and clear, depicting a beautiful starry sky.
However, Gu Beiyan finished the fastest among the four. He used only red and black markers to draw two circles, one oval and one irregular shape.
Apart from Nan Qing, who raised an eyebrow and smiled when she saw the two circles, seemingly having a guess, the other three female guests and the fans in the live stream were all completely bewildered.
So, the domineering CEO has given up?
This painting is way too abstract. I don't understand the world of the rich.
[Shen Yao's painting was the easiest to guess; that one was obviously a microphone.]
[Director Lian An's work is also very interesting.]
The easiest one to guess is Xie Chi; they're both cunning guys.
[Judging from this, will the CEO get a bye?]
[Perhaps the domineering CEO did it on purpose?]
[Chen Yao: Stage, Lian An: Camera, Xie Chi: Starry Sky, Gu Beiyan: ? ? Two zeros?]
[Hahaha, are you out of your mind, upstairs?]
【........
After drawing those two circles, Gu Beiyan gently pushed the drawing board with his slender fingers, turning it slightly towards Nan Qing's direction. Then he turned around and walked back to his seat without offering a single explanation, not even sparing a glance for anyone else.
Only Nan Qing, when she looked up, met a pair of calm, cold eyes that showed little emotion.
He just stared at her quietly, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses as cold and clear as a lake on a winter night, without a ripple. He showed no embarrassment at being caught, and made no attempt to hide the fact that he had been staring at her the whole time.
It was as if he was meant to look at her like that.
Since he wasn't embarrassed by being caught red-handed, Nan Qing didn't try to hide. Instead, she slightly raised her chin, a half-smile curving her lips, her eyes clearly saying, "What are you looking at?"
Seeing Nan Qing's subtle movements, Gu Beiyan's eyes flickered slightly, and his lips tightened almost imperceptibly for a moment, but he still did not look away.
In that instant, it was as if the air between them had frozen, and the whole world consisted of only the two of them.
until--
"Everyone, time's up!"
The producer's voice suddenly broke the awkward eye contact between the two.
Nan Qing then looked away, as if the eye contact had never happened. She elegantly picked up the teacup next to her, took a sip, and then looked at the paintings that the male guests had finished.
But Gu Beiyan's gaze remained fixed on her.
Four paintings of vastly different styles were pushed to the center of the hall. The lights focused, the camera zoomed in, and the producer announced with a smile:
"Now, please have the four female guests guess what one of the male guests' paintings is about, and write your answers on the whiteboard."
The four female guests, including Nan Qing, all picked up pens; some pondered with their heads down, while others wrote directly.
Actually, apart from Gu Beiyan's answer, the others were all easy to guess. However, the most important part of this segment is not just guessing the answer, but also making an initial choice that sparks interest.
"Alright, all the female guests should have finished writing their answers, right? Let's start with Youyuan and announce the answers one by one."
Bai Youyuan excitedly waved the whiteboard in her hand at the camera. The large diamonds on her nails were very sparkly. Her answer was the two words "starry sky". It was obvious that she was referring to the painting by Xie Chi.
After revealing the answer, Bai Youyuan even winked at Xie Chi.
The second person to reveal the answer was Qu Sheng. Her whiteboard read "The first scene in the rain." She chuckled softly.
"It may be related to my profession, but I particularly like the artistic conception in Director Lian's painting."
Qu Sheng's voice carries the unique acting skills of an actor, with each word clear and conveying a gentle quality.
Lian An, sitting on the right, looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes behind his glasses, and said, "It is my honor to be liked by the beautiful Qu."
Perhaps because of their similar professions—one an actor and the other a director, both primarily working in the film industry—Qu Sheng and Lian An both possess an artistic flair. The subtle tension between them during their eye contact also made viewers in the live stream exclaim how adorable they were.
