Chapter 14 Chapter 14 This posture is like completely embracing her...
Guests who receive mutual "love" messages will have their first date tomorrow; those who do not receive a message will lose their chance to go on the date.
The first text message sent when you're moved is crucial.
The audience is especially eager to see who the guests will choose as their ideal partner.
Even before 8 p.m., viewers had already gathered in front of their screens after dinner, eagerly awaiting the evening's live broadcast.
[I'm in such a hurry, it's not eight o'clock yet!]
The production team is so mean; they deliberately didn't let us see the segment where the guests sent each other text messages expressing their affection.
It's obvious that the female lead and the third male lead will be exchanging text messages, since they're going to a hotel tonight.
Qiao Yimo will definitely vote for Li Yichen, but it's uncertain whether Li Yichen will vote for her.
[No need to guess who the fourth male lead is; this innocent, puppy-like guy fell for the first female lead the moment he arrived, so she's definitely the one he wants to date.]
In the living room of the villa.
Qiao Yimo sat on the sofa, holding her phone absentmindedly, lost in thought.
Xia Yuqing carried over the washed fruit, sat down next to Qiao Yimo, and warmly greeted her, "Sister Qiao, would you like some?"
Several fruit platters were placed on the marble coffee table. The washed grapes were crystal clear, and another plate of fruit was cut into small pieces, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Qiao Yimo wasn't in the mood for fruit, but because she was live-streaming, she habitually raised her lips in a gentle smile: "Thank you, I don't want any."
"Okay." Xia Yuqing picked up a piece of fruit with a toothpick and leisurely leaned back on the sofa to eat it, then turned on the TV to choose a movie out of boredom.
There were people moving around in the kitchen.
Lu Xubai and several female guests prepared dinner together. Song Yi and Gu Junsheng were very busy and left the first. Chu Ruofu quietly cleared the table and prepared to wash the dishes.
She disliked cooking since childhood, and the food she made was called "culinary disaster" by her best friend. Due to her profession, she often ate simple meals with the film crew.
When she's not working and stays home, she orders takeout for every meal and can't help with cooking. After meals, she consciously tries to clean up the dining room and kitchen.
Cleaning up the messy dining table and kitchen was more troublesome than cooking, and few people were willing to be cleaners, so Chu Ruofu was left to slowly clean up the dishes and wipe the table.
The guests had good dining habits, and there was almost no food residue or juice left on the table.
Chu Ruofu wiped the table clean, took off her cardigan and put it on the stool, then stood in front of the sink to wash the dishes.
Live stream chat:
[With so many guests, why is Chu Ruofu handling everything by herself?]
The third and fourth women were resting in the restaurant, showing no intention of helping at all.
Why are you only talking about the female guests? The male guests just left after they finished eating.
[MoMo helped with the cooking tonight, shouldn't she rest?]
[Pfft, she asked for help washing some fruit to make a salad; the fourth female fan's filter is really strong.]
[Why isn't your movie star brother showing any gentlemanly manners now? He should hurry up and take care of the female guest and get to work!]
The audience was praising Chu Ruofu, but Qiao Yimo and Li Yichen's solo fans started fighting, making the live stream chat chaotic.
The viewers were annoyed and some left to watch other live streams.
Lu Xubai smelled of food while making dinner, so he finished eating early and went upstairs to take a cold shower. After changing his clothes, he came downstairs and looked around. He found Chu Ruofu washing dishes alone in the kitchen, so he went over to her.
"Why aren't you wearing an apron?" Lu Xubai asked in a low voice.
When Chu Ruofu was working, her mind tended to wander freely. Suddenly hearing his voice, she trembled in fright.
Lu Xubai noticed her slight trembling and frowned, saying, "What are you thinking about? This can scare you."
Chu Ruofu turned to look at him.
After his bath, Lu Xubai wore a dark shirt with a crisp texture. His narrow waist and broad shoulders made him look even taller and more stylish, exuding sexiness like a walking hormone.
The man's slightly wavy black hair was damp, with a few strands falling across his handsome face, giving him a touch of unruliness.
"I wasn't thinking about anything." Chu Ruofu withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes to stare at the bowl in the pool.
Lu Xubai took out a folded apron from the cupboard and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting your apron dirty if you don't wear one while washing dishes?"
Chu Ruofu didn't know where the apron was, nor did she think much of it. When she saw him bring the apron, she hesitated for a moment before preparing to wash her hands and put it on.
"I'll help you put it on," Lu Xubai stopped her.
Before Chu Ruofu could refuse, Lu Xubai stood behind her and put the apron over her head.
The man's tall figure was behind her, very close. Chu Ruofu stood stiffly, motionless, afraid of accidentally getting too close to him.
The refreshing scent of men's shower gel emanated from Lu Xubai. His body was burning hot, and his intense body temperature spread through the air, making her feel the temperature around her rising as well.
After Lu Xubai put the apron over her head, he looked down at the top of her dark hair.
To make things easier, Chu Ruofu tied up her long, flowing hair, revealing her slender, fair neck and delicate shoulders.
Feeling his burning gaze, Chu Ruofu's cheeks and ears burned, and she couldn't help but become nervous.
Lu Xubai's voice was low and hoarse: "Don't move, I'll help you tie the straps."
Chu Ruofu felt a pair of large hands pass through her sides and pull the apron straps to tie her waist.
The man's posture made it seem as if he was completely embracing her.
Those few dozen seconds felt incredibly agonizing.
Lu Xubai neatly tied a bow, stood beside her, and said, "You wash it and hand it to me, I'll rinse it clean."
Chu Ruofu hummed in agreement.
The fans shipping the couple in the live stream have gone crazy.
[Ahhhhh, the body shape difference is driving the sexual tension to its limit!]
The female lead and the third male lead look so good together; this couple is amazing.
[Tsk, who says men can't be cunning? The third male guest is cold and ruthless to the other female guests, but he's incredibly considerate to the first female guest.]
[Hahaha, it's so satisfying to compare!]
[It's over, my poor, innocent little puppy brother is out of the running.]
[The third male lead deliberately helps tie the apron to shorten the distance between them. He seems aloof, but he's actually quite good at flirting.]
The two worked together and quickly finished washing a pile of dishes.
After washing the dishes and utensils, Lu Xubai told Chu Ruofu to wash her hands and rest, while he tidied up the kitchen.
Chu Ruofu took off her apron and put it back in the drawer. She quickly went back to her bedroom, closed the door, and lay down on the bed. Only then did she feel relaxed. She picked up her phone and saw that it was just past eight o'clock.
After 8 o'clock, guests can check their mailboxes to see if they have received an invitation card.
In the living room.
Xia Yuqing stood up eagerly and said to Qiao Yimo, "Sister Qiao, do you want to go check the mailbox together?"
Qiao Yimo shook her head and smiled, "You go first, I'll go later."
Xia Yuqing left the living room with light steps and went to the room on the first floor where the program crew had placed their mailboxes. She opened the mailbox and found a letter inside. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she reached out and took out the invitation card.
Live stream chat:
[The third female lead received an invitation!]
[It's unclear who sent the third female lead a text message expressing their affection.]
[The third girl is beautiful and has a sweet tongue; she's sure to get a date invitation.]
There was only one letter; I don't know who it's from.
Xia Yuqing stood in front of the mailbox cabinet, eagerly opening it. When she saw who had signed it, her smile became even sweeter.
She was overjoyed even though she only received one heartfelt text message.
After Xia Yuqing left, a guest appeared in the live broadcast room; it was Song Yi, who had just finished her work.
She opened her mailbox and found it empty; there was nothing inside.
Song Yi paused for half a second, then calmly closed the mailbox and left the room.
The second female lead didn't receive a single letter.
[My heart aches for this beautiful woman.]
Are career-driven, strong women not popular? The second female lead is clearly very outstanding.
Amidst the buzz in the live stream chat, Shen Wuyang appeared on camera, and the viewers stared intently at him.
Shen Wuyang opened the mailbox and found it empty. His heart sank, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his expression revealed his disappointment.
As expected, Fufu didn't vote for him.
In fact, Chu Ruofu's attitude was already quite clear when they were chatting in the corridor, but he still held onto a sliver of hope. Now that hope has been dashed, he feels even more distressed.
Oh, not a single letter.
Pet the poor little dog.
[I thought the female lead would send her crush text to the fourth male lead, but who did she send it to?]
[The fourth male lead was the one who made the first move, but he lost to the third male lead who appeared halfway through.]
Not long after Shen Wuyang left, Li Yichen arrived. He was the most popular male guest in this season's dating reality show, and the popularity of his live stream skyrocketed.
Li Yichen stood casually in front of the cabinet, opened the mailbox with his name on it, saw two envelopes inside, a smile appeared on his lips, and took out two letters.
Chu Ruofu said she wouldn't give him the letter, but she still did.
With a smile on his handsome face, Li Yichen held the letter, but he felt a little regretful for having carelessly given it to Xia Yuqing.
He was on the second floor when he heard Chu Ruofu tell him to stop using her as a shield. He felt very conflicted. After thinking it over, he gave the letter to his partner for the day, Xia Yuqing.
There were only a few guests in total. Receiving two text messages that made him feel attracted meant that he was one of the most popular male guests. Li Yichen happily opened one of the messages.
The signature above is Qiao Yimo.
Li Yichen's smile faded slightly. Without even reading what was written on the letter, he held it in his hand and opened another one.
When he saw the name Xia Yuqing on the mailbox, the smile on Li Yichen's lips disappeared. He quickly turned around and went back to the mailbox cabinet, opening the mailbox again.
There were no extra letters in the mailbox.
Li Yichen held the two letters in his hand, his expression shifting between light and dark.
Chu Ruofu didn't give him the letter; his delighted expression upon receiving it seemed utterly ridiculous.
Viewers in the live stream started discussing Li Yichen's return to the mailbox cabinet.
[What's wrong with the second male lead? He's unhappy about receiving two letters from female guests.]
Why is my brother checking the mailbox again? Whose letter is he hoping to receive? I'm so curious!
Which female guest is it that the second male lead cares so much about?
Li Yichen left with the two letters in his hand.
It was 9 p.m. when the production team reminded Chu Ruofu to pack her things, as a car would be sent to take her and Lu Xubai to the hotel later.
Chu Ruofu packed her things into her suitcase and went downstairs to check the mailbox.
As soon as I entered the room, I found Qiao Yimo inside.
