Chapter 73 The Aftermath of the Shura Field: The Thirteenth Day All Cards.
There were only seven people in total, and six of them failed to find a match. Who on earth came up with the idea that Director Li would announce Xie Ruan's successful match?
[Are you guys letting Xie Ruan go on a date alone? That's hilarious, hahaha.]
Oh right, I think I remember now.
Is there more than seven guests on this show?
[You only joined on the fourth day? That seems rushed.]
Xie Ruan is dressed in all black today.
Xie Ruan was not surprised when she heard Director Li announce the news.
because……
When choosing a date, Xie Ruan noticed that only his phone was different.
Xie Ruan has no right to choose her date today.
Instead, I saw a particularly novel and exciting signal on my phone.
[Signal of interest: I'm very interested in you, let's go on a date^^.]
This isn't an internal signal of attraction.
Having stayed at the Heartbeat House for four days, Xie Ruan knew better than anyone that the heartbeat message had already been sent.
This later one doesn't belong to anyone present at all.
Therefore, Xie Ruan made a guess.
Today, a new guest has arrived.
After all, the number of guests on this show is not even.
It is singular.
The odd number means that it will definitely be released later to make it a round number for everyone.
Therefore, on the fourth day, new people should have joined.
Director Li: "The new guest has one chance to choose, and the selected guest can go on a date with the new guest directly."
Director Li used a megaphone to explain to the guests.
The oppressive atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe.
Xie Ruan was taken away by the production team.
Yu Yin: "Speaking of which, I think I heard a sound yesterday?"
Zhou Jingchi: "What's that sound?"
Yu Yin's gaze followed Xie Ruan until she saw Xie Ruan's knowing expression, then she looked away: "Maybe it's because you were sleeping too soundly? Last night, there seemed to be noises upstairs. That means someone probably came to the third floor, right? I thought it was a mouse, but it turned out to be a new guest who stole my A Ruan as soon as he arrived. I'm a little annoyed."
[Mouse, I'm dying of laughter! Yu Yin was definitely implying something, right? She laughed at herself when she mentioned "mouse."]
[Is Yu Yin saying the new guest is like a thieving rat? He's upset because Xie Ruan was taken away from him, and I can't take it anymore. How can Yu Yin be so outspoken? Isn't she afraid of offending people?]
What's there to be afraid of? The new guest isn't here; he can't hear anything they say.
Yu Yin: "Around 3 a.m. last night, there was a sudden noise upstairs. I thought it was a mouse and was planning to come and settle accounts with the production team this morning. But before I could even settle accounts, Director Li confessed. But it's better that it's a person and not a mouse, at least it won't scare my A-Ruan."
Zhou Jingchi frowned as he listened to my Aruan: "..."
Yu Yin: "I was so scared last night that I hugged Aruan even tighter, but Aruan probably didn't feel it."
Xie Ruan looked somewhat embarrassed.
Zhou Jingchi's expression, however, was not good.
As for Yu Yin.
Yu Yin is relatively normal.
When Yu Yin turned her head to look at Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan lowered her head even further.
Yuan Yuan clenched her fists.
Yuan Yuan's tightly clenched fingers made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Just watching him clench his fingers tighter and tighter until they became engorged with blood, Yuan Yuan didn't make a sound, which aroused speculation.
[Is Brother Yuan regretting it?]
[Is he trying to keep Xie Ruan at the villa? After all, everyone has a feeling that Xie Ruan will definitely choose him again today, and Yuan Yuan might think so too? So he deliberately sent a signal of attraction to Wen Hezhou? Is his goal to keep Xie Ruan at the villa? But what can only be done at the villa? He could clearly go out. Yuan Yuan is really unfathomable; he seems so innocent.]
[The show's producers really got me itching to watch! Now that Xie Ruan has been chosen, can anyone tell me who Xie Ruan was originally planning to choose today?!]
It feels like Yuanyuan.
[Yuan Yuan remained silent throughout. If it were me, I wouldn't choose Yuan Yuan.]
When Xie Ruan received the text message and came out, the sunlight was dazzling.
But Xie Ruan took a few steps, and none of the new guests she had imagined arrived.
It wasn't until the staff explained that Xie Ruan realized she had to go to a coffee shop to meet the new guest.
Xie Ruan wasn't interested in the new guests, but he would still follow the production team's arrangements.
Because the two were not familiar with each other, the production team arranged a date where they would chat casually in a coffee shop.
But for some reason, Xie Ruan inexplicably felt that it was a bit like... a blind date?
This feeling is really subtle and strange.
Xie Ruan looked at the other person and sat down.
Xie Ruan raised her eyes and glanced at the man.
The man smiled gently, stood up, and politely extended his hand towards Xie Ruan: "Congratulations on your letter."
Xie Ruan reached out and grasped it.
Somewhat unfamiliar.
After the two sat down, Xie Ruan looked up and saw He Shu adjusting his glasses: "I ordered you a caramel macchiato. I thought if you like coffee, you'd probably like this kind."
Thank you, Ruan.
He Shu smiled gently: "It's worth mentioning that I thought you probably didn't like coffee, so I ordered you a strawberry cake."
?
Xie Ruan paused for a moment, somewhat surprised when she saw the food on the table.
Xie Ruan was still somewhat anxious as she suddenly sat down in front of the stranger.
Xie Ruan's voice was soft, and her tone trembled slightly at the end. She didn't even look up at the other person, but instead kept her head down. After a while, she mustered up the courage to speak to this complete stranger: "Did you read the content from a few days ago?"
If you haven't seen it.
It's probably impossible for someone to call him by his name so fluently.
He Shu: "Actually, today is the fourth day. I arrived on the first day."
Xie Ruan: ""
He Shu was wearing a neat white suit, the fabric almost wrinkle-free, silently revealing the expensiveness of the clothes.
He Shu said, "The unscrupulous director said that I am guest number eight and cannot come in on the first day, so he arranged for me to be in another room and watch your live broadcast every day."
[This is hilarious! He Shu is playing me! Hahahaha, the unscrupulous directing team is practically my mouth double!]
[Is He Shu being forced to watch live streams every day? It's hilarious.]
Xie Ruan: "Then there should be... other people, right?"
He Shu shook his head: "I only live here by myself and your...live stream."
He Shu rested his chin on his hand as if joking, looking at Xie Ruan: "If we develop feelings for each other in another house, it must be quite troublesome when we join, right? I think that's what the production team was thinking, so they left me to live alone in that house. It's so boring. I can only pass the time by watching you every day. I'm a regular viewer in your live stream."
He Shu leaned closer and pushed the cream puff in front of Xie Ruan: "But it's alright, I'm number eight, so I can come in on the fourth day. I'll also have enough perspective to get to know you. I'm very interested in you, Xie Ruan."
Xie Ruan didn't say anything: "?"
He Shu didn't seem to care, and just pushed up his glasses: "But there's something interesting about coming here today."
Xie Ruan tilted her head.
He Shu: "Yesterday, Mr. Yuan clearly had the opportunity to ask you, but he didn't. So, I am the first person to have the opportunity to learn your identity, Xie Ruan."
Xie Ruan: "..."
He Shu didn't seem to mind that Xie Ruan didn't speak, but softened his voice: "Actually, I was very anxious yesterday. Like the other audience members, I hoped that Yuan Yuan would find out about you so that I could know about you in advance and have a better conversation with you today. But he didn't ask, so I was anxious all night."
Xie Ruan: "Did you come last night?"
He Shu nodded: "I arrived at the Heartbeat House around 3 a.m. last night and left before you woke up this morning."
Xie Ruan: "Thank you for your hard work."
He Shu: "What's the hardship? More than the hardship, I'm anxious to see you."
He Shu: "I've been very nervous about meeting you."
He Shu: "But after meeting you, I realized that I was overthinking it. You are a very approachable person."
[How honest #8 is! I can't take it anymore. I couldn't sleep last night either, frantically searching for Xie Ruan, but I couldn't find anything.]
He Shu: "But the loss also made me a bit luckier. The question that Mr. Yuan didn't ask yesterday, I was the first to ask today, and I'm very happy."
He Shu: "Xie Ruan, let me introduce myself first. I am 26 years old and I am a... psychologist."
Xie Ruan fell into a brief silence: "..."
They got straight to the point and made it public from the very first meeting.
Compared to blind dates, Xie Ruan felt more like it was a job interview...
Xie Ruan has never had a job interview in her life.
The only nanny job she ever got was through an interview with the original owner.
Xie Ruan's fingers twitched slightly.
Unlike the previous days, Xie Ruan was dressed in all black today.
Xie Ruan seemed somewhat embarrassed by meeting a stranger.
He was wearing a baseball cap when he went out.
At first, the audience did not notice Xie Ruan's outfit today.
It wasn't until the audience subconsciously glanced at Xie Ruan during her silence that they gradually realized something was wrong—
Wait a minute, Xie Ruan's outfit looks so familiar? All black, it seems to be... a collaboration with Ji Ye?
[It seems so; his shoes before also looked like that.]
Although I changed my shoes today, they're still the Ji Ye collaboration model.
Actually, everything else is fine... but this baseball cap looks so familiar.
I think so too.
After he put on the baseball cap, I felt like I'd seen Xie Ruan somewhere before.
[Does anyone in the audience recognize Xie Ruan? Someone they know? But Xie Ruan is so beautiful, it should be easy for someone who knows her to recognize her.]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
Xie Ruan has not yet answered.
He Shu seemed more composed than anyone else. Seeing Xie Ruan's silence, He Shu quickly sensed something was wrong and slightly curled the corners of his mouth. "Um..."
He Shu: "Xie Ruan, you don't need to feel pressured. This is just an inquiry, not an information search. You can answer only what you want to answer, or you can choose not to answer at all."
He Shu: Don't you want to answer?
He Shu did not reveal his thoughts.
His gaze swept over Xie Ruan, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He Shu: That's interesting.
Xie Ruan: "19 years old."
He Shu was a little stunned and pushed up his glasses.
[Holy crap, Xie Ruan is so young??]
[They should be at school, right? Does anyone know them?]
Don't be stingy, say a little more, baby.
Netizens were so excited that they completely forgot to investigate who Xie Ruan resembled.
I just stared intently at the screen, afraid that I would miss any more information.
Xie Ruan did not seem inclined to continue speaking.
He Shu raised an eyebrow: That's interesting.
For the past few days, He Shu has been watching the live stream alone. Among all the people, he is only curious about Xie Ruan.
Actually, He Shu told a little lie; he didn't suddenly appear on the variety show on the first day.
The reason why the production team did not invite an even number of guests is...
He Shu had never intended to agree.
The production team had always wanted him to come.
But he wasn't interested.
I became interested in Xie Ruan after watching a dating reality show.
He had just arrived at the cabin as a guest.
He Shu pushed up his glasses: "You're much smaller than I imagined."
Xie Ruan: "?"
He Shu smiled gently: "I'm not saying that you give off a mature vibe. Rather, I didn't expect the production team to invite someone your age to participate in a dating reality show."
He Shu: "Do you just want to be in a relationship? Kids should focus on their studies, okay?"
He Shu's voice carried a hint of advice.
But it didn't give off any sense of commanding authority.
He Shu: "I thought the production team had deliberately found someone with a baby face who was actually much older to create hype and generate buzz."
[He Shu is so outspoken, it's hilarious! This is such an old trick. He Shu doesn't seem like someone in the entertainment industry, how come he's so familiar with these tactics?]
He Shu smiled gently: "However, the fact that you are very young makes me feel quite embarrassed. I guess my age is about the same as Jiang Zhi or Wen Hezhou. But Wen Hezhou is younger than me, so I am probably older now, or maybe Jiang Zhi and I are older."
Jiang Zhi has been stabbed. Help me.
[Jiang Zhi really doesn't look 26 years old. He Shu is completely lying. I wonder what Jiang Zhi will think when he hears this. I think Jiang Zhi looks like he's in his early 20s if he doesn't dress so maturely. He really looks very young.]
He Shu: "Oh no, I shouldn't have revealed my age."
He Shu's natural friendliness completely eased Xie Ruan's embarrassment at not wanting to reveal her age: "If I reveal that I'm 26 now, you'll definitely think I'm an old man and won't want to associate with me anymore."
Xie Ruan: "..."
He Shu's voice had a teasing tone.
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed slightly.
He just didn't blush with excitement.
Instead, she didn't know how to answer and blushed with embarrassment.
[He Shuhao is hilarious.]
However, if I hear that the person I'm meeting on a blind date is much older, I won't choose them. It's only natural to have a preference for younger men.
Xie Ruan and He Shu's date went smoothly.
It seems that He Shu has always taken good care of Xie Ruan because of his maturity.
Everyone was engrossed in the couple's date until He Shu drove Xie Ruan away.
The moment everyone's eyes fell on Xie Ruan, they suddenly realized—
Wait, Xie Ruan? He looks familiar. Just now, when he covered half his face, I suddenly remembered seeing him somewhere before.
I think so too... but I'm not sure, so I started searching.
【where? 】
The feeling of being suspended in mid-air is not pleasant.
Netizens stared anxiously at the silent comments on the screen.
When He Shu opened the door for Xie Ruan and they returned to the Heartbeat House.
Only then did the intense gazes from all around turn to them.
Before Xie Ruan could react, Zhou Jingchi had already taken her arm.
He Shu raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised by Zhou Jingchi's action. Instead, he smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am He Shu."
Zhou Jingchi: "..."
Ji Ye sullenly slammed a cleaver down on the cutting board.
Yuan Yuan, who was standing to the side, was startled.
He Shudu still did not react.
Yuan Yuan felt uneasy, as if he was completely at ease with everyone's actions.
Yuan Yuan's gaze fell on He Shu.
Xie Ruan was dragged off on a date by him today.
He Shu is gentle and refined, and seems to handle everything with ease. Will he make Xie Ruan withdraw yesterday's cooperation proposal?
Yuan Yuan didn't even know whether he wanted to cooperate.
His heart told him that he didn't want to only be with Xie Ruan.
If this collaboration ends, he and Xie Ruan will have no further opportunities.
But how do you get Xie Ruan to turn around?
Yuan Yuan looked at everyone; he didn't have that kind of charm.
Yuan Yuan lowered her head sullenly.
He stood in the corner and no one paid him any attention.
Completely unaware, his agent was outside the program, jumping up and down in a panic.
Unfortunately, no matter what, Yuan Yuan's agent could not contact Yuan Yuan, whose phone had been confiscated.
Yuan Yuan remained absent-minded.
On the fifth and sixth days that followed, Xie Ruan was invited out by Number Nine and Number Ten, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The audience grew increasingly anxious.
The question of who Xie Ruan would ultimately choose has become increasingly uncertain.
Even Yuanyuan was getting anxious.
On the seventh day, Xie Ruan received nine signals of attraction simultaneously.
Yuan Yuan didn't know if Xie Ruan would choose him for a date today; he only felt his heart racing.
He changed his mind.
He didn't want to miss the chance to date Xie Ruan.
However, Xie Ruan's choice was not a 1v1 as before.
Instead, the director suddenly granted her the authority: "Today, Xie Ruan's choice is by drawing cards."
Yuan Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
The probability of one out of nine people getting a date with Xie Ruan is even smaller than the probability of Xie Ruan choosing him.
Yuan Yuan was never a person with a particularly good mindset.
Yuan Yuan hadn't reacted yet.
After Xie Ruan tapped the card, she paused slightly and asked, "Everyone together...?"
Director Li: "Xie Ruan drew the 'all' card, meaning that all ten of our guests will be on a date today."
Has Director Li completely let loose?
[Did the planner stay up all night? What kind of mental state did they have to come up with the idea of ten guests dating at the same time?]
The question of whose attire Xie Ruan resembled that day was almost never resolved.
After Xie Ruan drew her cards, she left the room with the other guests.
Xie Ruan received a hint from the production team today—
They were indeed going to the estate for a date, but they had to prepare and gather all the food themselves.
Xie Ruan nodded and headed to the meeting place with the production team.
only.
The men started speaking as soon as they stepped outside.
Zhou Jingchi: "Aruan should ride in my car. My car and Aruan are a perfect match."
He Shu: "If possible, my car is much more comfortable."
Jiang Zhi seemed about to speak.
However, he has a leg disability and cannot drive.
He didn't speak.
Yu Yin raised an eyebrow: "If you don't mind, A-Ruan can ride on my motorcycle."
mine.
mine.
mine.
...
Many voices surrounded Xie Ruan's ears.
Helpless, Xie Ruan eventually drew lots and got Yu Yin's motorcycle.
The manor is very close to the Heart's Delight Cottage.
However, because the manor was so large, Xie Ruan had to separate from the others.
In preparation for lunch.
Someone must gather the food, process the food, and cook the food.
Xie Ruan was assigned to the picking group by drawing lots.
Fortunately, on the last day, Xie Ruan and Yuan Yuan were drawn together.
Xie Ruan smiled and looked at Yuan Yuan.
I didn't see anyone else's expression.
He simply followed Yuanyuan out.
Yuan Yuan glanced at him tentatively.
His fingers silently took Xie Ruan's hand.
Yuan Yuan waited for a long time until Xie Ruan stopped resisting, then he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Xie Ruan outside.
Yuan Yuan thought.
If I can only see Xie Ruan once in this lifetime.
He thought...
this time.
This was probably his only contact with Xie Ruan.
He wanted to be alone with Xie Ruan, and no one could disturb him.
Zhou Jingchi struggled, also wanting to join the picking group.
But Ji Ye grabbed her.
No one disturbed the two of them.
Of course, the production team also did not allow anyone to disturb the two of them.
The estate is very large.
There is a large grove of trees on the back of the manor.
When Xie Ruan walked in, she even felt like she was about to get lost.
Yuan Yuan's fingers seemed a little sweaty. After holding Xie Ruan for only a short while, he withdrew his hand as if afraid of soiling Xie Ruan, and wiped her repeatedly.
Yuan Yuan dared not touch Xie Ruan again.
Yuan Yuan was trying to organize his thoughts; he seemed too absorbed in the moment. “Aruan, I haven’t been able to be alone with you these past few days, but there are some things I’ve wanted to say for a long time.”
Keep walking forward in Yuanyuan.
The scene in the woods was not filmed; there are no cameras there.
It seems that there were too many people all of a sudden and the director's team didn't have enough people, so they didn't immediately assign a cameraman. They planned to shoot part of the kitchen chaos first and then come over to shoot the rest.
Yuan Yuan seized this opportunity to be alone with Xie Ruan.
Yuan Yuan's fingers were sweating even more. He hadn't been able to speak to Xie Ruan for days. Yuan Yuan's mind kept replaying the previous scenes: the scene of going straight back to the villa without having dinner with Xie Ruan, and Xie Ruan's warm breath when she leaned close to him.
Furthermore, he ignored Xie Ruan.
The distance between Xie Ruan and Xie Ruan.
And, Yuan Yuan wanted to be alone with Xie Ruan, but missed the opportunity, and felt unwilling to watch Xie Ruan go out with other people.
These past few days have been full of unexpected events for Yuanyuan.
Yuan Yuan pursed her lips.
The first thing I wanted to say to Xie Ruan alone was, "I'm sorry."
Keep walking forward in Yuanyuan.
The rustling sound rang in Yuan Yuan's ears, but he didn't hear it.
Yuan Yuan continued walking, lost in thought, and then said, "Ah Ruan, I was supposed to take you out to eat when you suddenly came back."
Yuan Yuan was filled with self-blame: "I was too impulsive before, and I didn't process the information in time."
Yuan Yuan hadn't slept well; she had faint dark circles under her eyes.
Yuan Yuan: "But I've thought it through today. If you haven't changed your mind yet, or if you have someone you like, could you choose me tomorrow?"
Keep walking forward in Yuanyuan.
Yuan Yuan had no idea how far the woods actually were.
Just keep walking, keep walking.
Yuan Yuan waited for a long time but Xie Ruan's voice didn't come. She then scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Well, it's okay if you don't choose me."
Yuan Yuan: "This is all my fault..."
Yuan Yuan felt unwell, but forced a smile.
He turned his head.
But what I saw was a photographer running towards me.
[The cameraman has finally been found!! The director was deliberately trying to lure me in, not letting me see this part, insisting on filming the chaotic scene. But the fight in the villa was really fun, hahaha.]
I agree, Zhou Jingchi's expression when he looked at Ji Ye just now was absolutely hilarious.
He Shu's expression wasn't much better.
The audience was talking about it.
When the cameraman caught up with Yuanyuan, the netizens who had just been chatting gradually realized that something was wrong.
It was only after a long time that they slowly and tentatively typed in the comments.
Something seems off.
Yuan Yuan's eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness as she looked around several times.
Only after Xie Ruan's figure had completely disappeared did Yuan Yuan seem to realize something and ask, "A-Ruan?"
Yuan Yuan's voice grew louder and louder: "Aruan, where are you??"
The audience stared blankly at Yuan Yuan.
It wasn't until much later, when they were certain that Yuanyuan wasn't acting, that they realized what had happened.
no.
Just for this short while?
Yuan Yuan lost Xie Ruan?
