Liu Chenghan thought about it for most of last night, wanting to confess his feelings as soon as possible. Today, he finally managed to find some time alone with his partner.
Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yuan suddenly walked in and, whether intentionally or unintentionally, deliberately bumped into Liu Chenghan's shoulder.
"What are you saying?" Xiao Yuan smiled as he walked towards Bai Qingzhi, then expertly patted her head.
Xiao Yuan had made this move more than once or twice, and Bai Qingzhi had gradually gotten used to it after a while, so she stopped dodging.
Xiao Yuan's smile widened even more, and he glanced at Liu Chenghan out of the corner of his eye.
He then noticed an unreadable emotion flashing in Liu Chenghan's eyes, and when he saw Xiao Yuan looking at him, a smile appeared on his lips.
It looks somewhat fake.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, his doubts deepening, but they vanished in the blink of an eye, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
With his gaze returning to Bai Qingzhi, Xiao Yuan naturally began to assist her.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Liu Chenghan felt a little depressed and decisively turned around and left.
Watching his figure disappear, Xiao Yuan suddenly spoke:
"Liu Chenghan doesn't seem like a good person. Be careful."
Bai Qingzhi looked up at him, then pouted and muttered:
"You don't seem like a good person either."
Xiao Yuan smiled quietly. The fact that Zhizhi could joke with him now meant that their relationship had grown closer.
Does this mean that his plan is one step closer to success?
Just as Xiao Yuan was pondering, the director walked in from outside.
"Xiao Yuan, you'll be filming today."
Xiao Yuan felt a surge of impatience. He just wanted to be with Zhizhi and had no intention of being a guest star.
But since he had already agreed, he couldn't go back on his word, so he gritted his teeth and walked out.
Bai Qingzhi also discussed it with the production team today. After all, this is a dating reality show, and the guests can't just stay in the restaurant all the time.
Therefore, the production team increased the budget by 500 yuan for each group and also assigned other personnel to help Bai Qingzhi receive guests at the restaurant.
This would allow the six guests enough time to go on dates.
Xiao Yuan's task today is to supervise them and give them scores.
This time, the production team also involved the fans in the live stream to vote for the three groups of guests and see which group had the strongest chemistry.
The winning team will receive a corresponding reward.
Looking at the six people in front of him, Xiao Yuan didn't smile at all, while the director gestured repeatedly from behind.
Xiao Yuan is so cool! I absolutely love his expressionless face!
So what if he's handsome? He and Bai Qingzhi have an ambiguous relationship.
Exactly. Anyone who can get involved with that woman is probably no good. What a scumbag!
You guys are just sour grapes. I think the two of them are a good match.
Then I wish you always encounter those bullies who take advantage of their power, so don't cry when they do!
Do you guys think Bai Qingzhi is going to debut? Otherwise, why would she, an assistant, get so much screen time on a variety show?
We resolutely oppose this kind of person debuting and will forever condemn them.
Soon, another trending topic appeared out of nowhere: Bai Qingzhi is suspected of making her debut by suppressing her seniors.
Suddenly, the online criticism against her intensified.
Meanwhile, a group of people were sitting in the Bai family's living room. Bai's mother was furious and cursed as she read the comments on the screen.
"Eldest brother, aren't you going to deal with this? What will your sister think?" Bai's mother shouted at Bai Qinghuai.
They didn't touch their phones during the recording, so Bai Qingzhi had no idea what was happening outside.
Bai Qinghuan stared at the live stream with a gloomy look in her eyes, then picked up her computer and began typing rapidly.
Anyone who bullies Qingzhi will be banned from using their computer for the next two weeks.
After the director explained today's task to Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan thought for a while, then turned around and began to negotiate with the director.
Next, the director found Bai Qingzhi, who was busy in the kitchen, and told her that she could go out with the guests.
Of course, he also told the others that they needed an assistant to accompany them and record the proceedings, and this assistant would be decided by the person with the most popularity in the live stream.
Although Bai Qingzhi's popularity was in the opposite direction at this time.
Bai Qingzhi was naturally happy to be able to go out and play. She ran back to her room to change into some fresh clothes, put on her schoolbag, and excitedly followed behind the group.
Xiao Yuan walked alongside her, smiling as he watched her skip and jump around like a child, seemingly without a care in the world.
At that moment, Xiao Yuan's resolve to protect her strengthened. He hoped that his innocent child would never know the taste of sorrow and could simply continue to be happy.
The group first visited Love Lake, a local favorite spot for couples.
The name "Love Lake" comes from the fact that the lake is heart-shaped. There are rumors online that many people who are in love with someone come here, bury their feelings under the tree by the lake, and after a while, their wishes come true and they are with the person they love.
The lake was quite large and had boats. Since everyone had enough money for the time being, they decided to split up and row the boats.
There happened to be an event being held there at the time, where anyone who rowed a boat together and was the first to reach the other side would receive a gift.
The organizers did not disclose what the gift was.
In addition, the production team promised that if a guest wins first place in the event, they will reimburse their travel expenses for the remainder of the trip.
This immediately ignited everyone's fighting spirit, especially since the task cards given by the production team showed that the expenses required next would be considerable.
There were many people at the scene, and many people had signed up. Bai Qingzhi sat in the shade waiting for them, while also craning her neck to look at the scene with curiosity.
Xiao Yuan stood beside her and then asked:
"Want to go play?"
Bai Qingzhi looked up at her. Xiao Yuan was standing against the light, and Bai Qingzhi couldn't see his expression, but she could guess without looking that Xiao Yuan was smiling, perhaps even with a light in his eyes.
"I can't go, I'm not a guest," Bai Qingzhi replied with some regret.
She really wanted to go out and have some fun, since sitting here like this was really boring.
“You’re not a guest, but I am.”
Xiao Yuan suddenly squatted down, and Bai Qingzhi saw his expression. Just as she had imagined, she felt a moment of disorientation.
When can you guess without even looking?
Seeing that Bai Qingzhi had drifted off into thought again, Xiao Yuan sighed and ruffled her hair before taking her hand.
Bai Qingzhi felt a burning sensation coming from her hand. Following the temperature, she saw that Xiao Yuan's large hand completely enveloped her hand.
Her heart pounded wildly, and Bai Qingzhi could no longer feel anything else.
Not only was her heart racing, but Xiao Yuan's was too. This was the first time he had held Zhizhi's hand, and it was just as he had imagined—small and soft.
Zhizhi didn't refuse, and Xiao Yuan's ecstasy was almost overwhelming, but he couldn't show it too obviously. However, the ever-growing smile on his face betrayed him.
