Chapter 35. Chapter 35. He managed to restrain himself.
Shen Wuyang smiled brightly, his youthful and sunny appearance refreshing and handsome.
He held the letter as if it were a precious treasure, and his joy was palpable even to the viewers watching on screen.
Did the fourth male lead receive a text message from the first female lead expressing her affection?
[Definitely. Look at his worthless expression; he practically wants to fly to the female lead and fawn over her.]
Why did I vote for the fourth male lead? I don't understand.
[I'm devastated as a fan of both the Fu-Bai and Fu-Sheng pairings.]
[Haha, as expected, the innocent fourth brother is still the one who wins Fu Mei's heart the most.]
Shen Wuyang took the text message with him, eager to rush to Chu Ruofu and express his happiness, but he tried his best to suppress it.
He didn't dare to disturb Chu Ruofu at this time, as she might be sleeping or resting.
Shen Wuyang returned to his bedroom, lay on the bed, and smelled the fragrance of the letter. He really wanted to show off this heart-fluttering text message to the other male guests, because he had won Chu Ruofu's choice.
Fufu is so sweet; he's sure to have a wonderful dream tonight.
After the program team announced the results of the "heartbeat text message" voting, they opened a voting channel for popular guests. The most popular guests in the second episode will receive a reward from the program team during commercial breaks.
The next morning.
This episode's recording has ended, and the guests can choose to leave the villa and return to their own cities.
Chu Ruofu had nothing to do and wasn't in a hurry to go back. She intended to sleep until she naturally woke up, but a phone call woke her up. She answered the phone: "Hello."
A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Chu Ruofu?"
Chu Ruofu squinted and replied, "Yes, that's me. And who are you?"
"You have a package that requires your signature. Do you have time to sign for it now?"
Chu Ruofu didn't remember shopping online and said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"I'm not mistaken, is this your phone number?" the deliveryman said. "I'm at the entrance of Villa No. 13, Fengshan, Bay Area."
Chu Ruofu was fully awake and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right out."
She sat up with her hair all messy, put on her shoes, opened the door, and went downstairs.
Someone in the kitchen was making breakfast. When they saw her come down, they greeted her, "You're awake."
Chu Ruofu glanced into the kitchen. Song Yi was making breakfast, and Xia Yuqing was pouring water. There was no one else in sight.
Song Yi asked, "Where are you going in your pajamas?"
Chu Ruofu yawned: "Someone is delivering a package."
The guests film the show at the island villa for a maximum of two or three days, and generally do not choose to have online shopping and delivery to the villa.
Chu Ruofu went out and opened the door.
A young man in a local express delivery uniform stood at the door, with a pickup truck behind him, a large red rose on the gray truck.
"Hello, are you Chu Ruofu?" the deliveryman asked as he approached.
Chu Ruofu stared in astonishment at the roses that required two or three people to surround, and said, "I did buy them, but I didn't."
"Let me see." The deliveryman took out his phone to check the order and said, "A Mr. Li ordered 999 red roses for you last night. Please make sure they are delivered by nine o'clock this morning."
Chu Nufu: "?"
Seeing her shocked expression, the deliveryman smiled and said, "Please sign for it now."
Chu Ruofu had no choice but to sign her name on the order. The deliveryman struggled to carry the roses down and place them in front of her. She stood with her head down among the 999 red roses, feeling somewhat at a loss.
How am I supposed to get this thing into the villa?!
"Wow!" Xia Yuqing exclaimed in shock, "Who gave you these red roses?!"
Chu Ruofu didn't mention Li Yichen's name. She silently looked at the vast expanse of vibrant red roses, magnificent and spectacular, a feast for the eyes. How she would get them inside was a problem.
"How are we going to get the roses into the house?" Xia Yuqing looked up at her and said, "They look very heavy; we definitely can't move them."
Chu Ruofu looked troubled and said, "We can only ask someone for help."
Xia Yuqing said, "I'll keep an eye on things here for you. Go to the villa and find someone to help you get it in."
"Thank you." Chu Ruofu hurriedly ran back to the villa.
When Song Yi saw her rush back like a gust of wind, she asked, "I made you breakfast."
"Thank you, Sister Song. I'll eat later." Chu Ruofu ran upstairs.
Just as I reached the third floor, I bumped into Lu Xubai coming out of the washroom. He was wearing a dark shirt and trousers, his hair was messy, and his handsome brows showed a hint of weariness.
The two exchanged a glance.
Lu Xubai took the initiative to speak, "Good morning."
Chu Ruofu greeted him with a "Good morning" and asked, "Where is Li Yichen's room?"
Lu Xubai pursed his thin lips slightly and said, "I'll take you there."
The two stood in front of Li Yichen's room. Chu Ruofu knocked on his door, but there was no response. She knocked again.
"Who is it?" came a hoarse, impatient male voice from inside.
The door suddenly opened, and Li Yichen, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with messy hair and squinting eyes, looked extremely sleepy.
"You..." Chu Ruofu had just opened her mouth to speak.
When Li Yichen saw that it was her, his expression changed, and the door slammed shut.
Chu Ruofu's eyes widened, and she knocked on the door again: "I need to talk to you."
"Coming right away," came Li Yichen's hurried voice from inside the room. "I'll be there after I change my clothes."
Early risers who saw this scene were absolutely laughing their heads off.
The second male lead is very image-conscious.
[The Best Actor award winner always has to maintain a perfect image whenever he appears on camera; he's so concerned about his image, it's a bit pretentious.]
[The pajamas the female lead is wearing are so cute! I want to buy a set too. Can you share the link?]
Chu Ruofu didn't want Xia Yuqing to keep waiting, so she raised her voice and urged, "Hurry up."
Seeing her anxious, Lu Xubai asked, "What do you want to see him about?"
Chu Ruofu looked up at him and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Li Yichen, but he bought me nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses. They're currently outside the villa, and it's difficult to bring them in."
Lu Xubai said, "Don't wait for him, I'll go down and take a look."
Chu Ruofu agreed and went downstairs with him to the villa entrance.
Xia Yuqing greeted Lu Xubai warmly, "Attorney Lu, good morning! Someone sent Chu Ruofu 999 red roses, and we were just worried about how to get them in. You've come at the perfect time, please help her."
Lu Xubai gazed calmly at the large red roses on the ground. The vibrant roses exuded a rich fragrance, representing passionate affection.
Knowing that it was a gift from Li Yichen, he felt disgusted by it, but suppressing his displeasure, he asked in a low voice, "Where do you want to move to?"
Chu Ruofu looked at him, somewhat hesitant: "This is such a big flower, it looks very heavy, can you handle it?"
"I trust Attorney Lu," Xia Yuqing said with a smile. "His muscles aren't from nothing."
Lu Xubai bent down and lifted the roses. The 999 roses were quite heavy. He raised his hand and carried the roses on his shoulder, the veins on his strong and muscular arms bulging faintly.
Chu Ruofu and Xia Yuqing followed behind.
Xia Yuqing glanced at the man's tall back and whispered to Chu Ruofu, "The veins on Lawyer Lu's hands are so sexy. Isn't he especially manly?"
Chu Ruofu's gaze swept over the man's strong arms. She had personally experienced how firm they were; when he held her in his arms, she couldn't break free at all.
Thinking back, her ears burned, and Chu Ruofu quickly banished the memory of the kiss from her mind.
Fortunately, the villa's gate was spacious enough. Lu Xubai carried the roses into the living room and bent down to place them on the smooth floor.
As soon as Li Yichen came downstairs, he saw Lu Xubai place the roses in the living room. His gaze swept past the roses and fell on Chu Ruofu next to Lu Xubai, and he felt a little regretful.
If only he had come downstairs faster, he would have been the one to buy the roses, but Lu Xubai stole the credit.
Song Yi stared in astonishment at the large bouquet of red roses: "Who bought this?"
Chu Ruofu looked up at Li Yichen, wondering what he was up to.
Li Yichen explained, "Yesterday I broke one of Chu Ruofu's white roses, so I ordered a bouquet of red roses for her as an apology."
Faced with the scrutinizing gazes of Xia Yuqing and Song Yi, Chu Ruofu blushed and said, "I didn't ask you to compensate me."
"How can that be? I made a mistake, so I definitely have to make it up to you." Li Yichen's lips curled into a handsome smile. "Aren't red roses prettier?"
Xia Yuqing complained, "Then there's no need to buy 999 flowers. The delivery was left outside the door, and we didn't even know how to get them in."
When Li Yichen ordered roses last night, the florist asked him who they were for and how many he wanted. He replied that the more the better.
The florist asked him if 999 roses would be enough, and he agreed, not expecting it to be such a large bouquet.
Li Yichen looked at Chu Ruofu and asked, "Was my apology sincere enough?"
Chu Ruofu had no choice but to nod: "...That's enough."
Live stream chat:
[Fu Mei: Thank you so much.]
The second male guest was definitely the most dramatic male guest ever.
Why did Li Yichen decide to order 999 red roses? Isn't he afraid of overwhelming Fu Mei?
[I think it's so romantic. So many roses must be very expensive. The second male lead really went all out.]
The second male lead's dark intentions can no longer be hidden; he ordered so many roses to replace the first male lead's white roses.
Li Yichen looked at Chu Ruofu with a smile in his fox-like eyes and said, "Then you're not allowed to be angry with me."
Chu Ruofu: "...Hmm."
She was pondering what to do with so many red roses.
Song Yi said, "I've cooked some vegetable and lean meat porridge. Those of you who want breakfast can help yourselves."
"Leave the roses here for now," Chu Ruofu said, then went upstairs to wash up and change.
After washing up and changing into a comfortable long dress, she was about to go downstairs when she ran into Lu Xubai, who was waiting in the lobby on the second floor.
Lu Xubai handed her a paper bag, saying, "I had someone buy the exact same tie last night. Take this and return it to Gu Junsheng."
Chu Ruofu took the packaging bag from his hand, glanced at the tie inside, and found that it was indeed the same brand and color as Gu Junsheng's tie. He hadn't made a mistake.
“I was too impulsive yesterday. Are you still angry?” Lu Xubai asked.
Chu Ruofu lowered her eyes and shook her head.
Lu Xubai said, "That's good."
A breeze blew in from the balcony, gently caressing the two of them. Her smooth, black hair fluttered against her fair cheeks as the wind blew. He twitched his fingers, wanting to tuck it behind her ear, but he restrained himself.
