Chapter 100, the final chapter.
After Lu Xubai returned, he immediately lit up the lights, and the online buzz soared. The Fu Bai CP was looking forward to Chu Ruofu's appearance and acceptance of Lu Xubai's feelings. However, a full half hour passed, and Chu Ruofu still did not appear.
Viewers and fans were extremely disappointed. It seems that the Fu Bai couple ultimately failed to get together. Some fans are still unwilling to give up, after all, there is still the final episode where they can officially confess their love.
After the recording of the ninth episode, Song Yi left the production team and did not plan to participate in the confession night. Qiao Yimo also left the production team.
On the night of the confession, everyone was watching. The four male guests had all dressed up and decorated the venue. The object of their confessions was Chu Ruofu. As the most popular and charming female guest, Chu Ruofu had to attend tonight.
She didn't know who the first person to confess to was. Guided by the program crew, she walked towards the green grass, where the romantic setting was like a dream, resembling a wedding of the century.
With mixed feelings, Chu Ruofu walked over step by step in her high heels. The slender figure that had been facing away from her turned around, holding a bouquet of passionate red roses in her hands.
"You've arrived." Li Yichen smiled at her.
Chu Ruofu was slightly taken aback. She didn't understand why Li Yichen would still meticulously prepare for the confession night, knowing the outcome. Wasn't he afraid of embarrassment and disappointment?
Li Yichen handed her the red roses: "I wrapped this bouquet for you myself."
Chu Ruofu did not accept his flowers, saying, "Thank you, but I cannot accept them."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Yichen's eyes, but his smile remained bright. Holding the flowers in one hand, he said in a lighthearted, joking tone, "It's really sad. I thought there was still a sliver of a chance."
Chu Ruofu said, "I'm sorry."
Li Yichen knew who she had chosen, and jealousy filled his heart, but he continued in a nonchalant tone, "If saying sorry was enough, what would we need the police for?"
He broke the awkward atmosphere, easing Chu Ruofu's discomfort.
Li Yichen: "Hurry up and leave, or the police will come and arrest you."

[Aaaaaaah, I'm so sad, my Fuyu couple!]
[Li Ge actually confessed his feelings and failed! How could I bear to reject him?]
My heart is shattered. My fox and rabbit couple didn't even make it.
[Who understands? After shipping a couple from a dating reality show for a whole season, they didn't end up together. Getting too obsessed with it is definitely not a good thing.]
Chu Ruofu left the place where he confessed his love and walked towards another confession location. Shen Wuyang was dressed in a formal suit, shedding his boyish naiveté and exuding a mature and handsome air.
"Fufu." Shen Wuyang walked towards her happily: "This is the last gift I'm giving you. You can accept it even if you don't accept my confession."
Chu Ruofu saw the special preserved flower in his hand, hesitated for a moment before accepting it, and said, "It's so beautiful, thank you."
Shen Wuyang smiled shyly at her: "You look really beautiful tonight, these flowers suit you very well."
Chu Ruofu looked at him and said, "You look handsome in a suit too."
Shen Wuyang's eyes were full of love: "I like you so much. I wish you could be with me."
Chu Ruofu lowered her eyes slightly: "I'm sorry."
“It’s my business that I like you.” Shen Wuyang said in a light tone as much as possible, “I want to tell you my feelings in front of everyone, and even if you don’t accept it, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Live stream chat:
The puppy was so well-behaved and sweet, yet she didn't want him.
[I'm so heartbroken. The fourth guy was so great, young and handsome. I'd definitely be happy with him.]
Another male guest has been eliminated. Damn the production team, can't they keep them all?
[The production team shouldn't be blamed. If the female guest accepted all the offers, then the audience would judge her again.]
When Chu Ruofu arrived at the place where Lu Xubai was going to confess his love, she was very nervous. She knew he had given her the green light that day while she was in the bedroom, but she couldn't show up. Not showing up was the best way to reject him.
She thought he would leave the dating show after being rejected and wouldn't stay to record the confession night, but she didn't expect him to insist on confessing.
Lu Xubai watched her walk towards him step by step and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Chu Ruofu didn't actually want to come, but the production team wanted to generate viewership and buzz, so even though she didn't accept the male guest's confession, she had to show up and give them a big answer.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept your confession."
Lu Xubai had heard her rejections many times, and his heart still ached because of it. He said, "I know, I just wanted to tell you that no matter who you choose, I will not give up."
Chu Ruofu looked away and said, "I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Lu Xubai watched her leave the confession venue, his lips slightly pursed, a dull pain shooting through his heart.
Tonight is the finale of the romance reality show. He will have very few chances to see her in the future, and he can only watch helplessly as she accepts another man.
Chu Ruofu arrived at the venue arranged by Gu Junsheng, straightened her dress, and walked slowly over with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.
A sea of white roses created a beautiful scene, perfect for a marriage proposal. Gu Junsheng, dressed in a dark suit, looked elegant and refined, gazing at her with gentle eyes.
Holding a bouquet of white roses, Gu Junsheng walked up to her and asked earnestly, "Chu Ruofu, would you like to be with me?"
Just as Chu Ruofu was about to agree to his request, the space froze instantly, and the system that had disappeared for a long time reappeared.
[Host, I forgot to remind you, after the story mission ends, will you choose to stay in this world or leave?]
Chu Ruofu almost forgot about the system's existence and asked, "What do you mean? Can I go back to my original world now?"
The system said: [If you accept any male guest's confession, it means you are willing to stay in this world and love and stay with him. If you want to return to your original world, I will send you back at an appropriate time after the dating show ends.]
Chu Ruofu remained silent.
She had family and friends in her original world, and she couldn't abandon them to stay in a world within a book.
She originally stayed in the dating reality show to complete the storyline missions in order to return to her original world.
The system asked: [Host, have you made your choice?]
Chu Ruofu complained, "If I couldn't confess my feelings, why did you make me choose a male guest to date in the first place?"
The system complained: "That way I can gain affection points, accumulate energy to level up, and then send the host back."
Chu Ruofu couldn't say it anymore.
The system cautiously asked: "Host, do you want to stay, or go back?"
Chu Ruofu closed her eyes and said, "I choose to go back."
She cannot abandon her family and friends for a moment of sweet love.
System: [Okay.]
In the frozen moment of time rewinding, Chu Ruofu hears Gu Junsheng's confession again. With mixed feelings, she struggles to say her rejection: "I'm sorry, I can't be with you."
A look of surprise flashed across Gu Junsheng's eyes as he asked, "Why?"
Chu Ruofu looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry, I might not be in a good position to date right now. I want to focus on my career."
“I won’t hinder your career.” Gu Junsheng held her hand and said in a deep voice, “I can stay in Haicheng.”
Chu Ruofu couldn't bear to look at his expression, so she apologized again and said, "Goodbye."
The audience was in an uproar. They thought Chu Ruofu would end up with Gu Junsheng, but she chose to reject all the male guests.
Chu Ruofu left the Heartbeat House that night. She didn't dare to look at the storm of online gossip. The most hurt were the CP fans, after all, they had sincerely shipped her and the male guest.
Fans expressed their understanding, saying that confirming a relationship on a dating reality show might be too fast for Chu Ruofu, and they would respect any choice she makes.
The ending of this season's dating reality show was both disappointing and unforgettable. As a popular figure in the dating reality show, Chu Ruofu had great chemistry with everyone she was paired with, but the fact that she didn't end up with any of the male guests was truly disappointing.
After the dating reality show ended, its popularity declined, and no one paid attention to the guests' lives anymore.
One day, Chu Ruofu woke up to find herself back in the real world, and the anti-fan fanfiction she was reading on her phone was showing a 404 error code.
"Ruofu, wake up."
The door was pushed open, and blinding light shone in.
Her best friend rushed over, hugged her, and excitedly said, "Someone wants you to play the lead role. Come with me to the audition!"
Chu Ruofu was stunned and bewildered.
My best friend kept saying in my ear, "I heard the investors have specifically chosen you for the female lead, and the male lead is an award-winning actor. Get up quickly, don't miss this great opportunity."
She was groggily pulled out of bed, washed up, changed clothes, and then taken to an audition.
Pushing open the door to the audition room, she looked up and saw that the director was a celebrity in the industry, and the investor was sitting next to him. His handsome face went from blurry to clear, and his cool voice came through.
"Please introduce yourself."
Chu Ruofu's heart was beating faster and faster. She looked at him and said, "My name is Chu Ruofu."
