Chapter 6: The guests reveal their professions.
Shen Wuyang stared intently at her with his dark eyes and said, "I like it."
Chu Ruofu is afraid of getting into trouble and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Shen Wuyang is the only guest in the program who is relatively familiar with her. When the guests asked Shen Wuyang about his profession, he seemed to be acting very strangely.
Chu Ruofu played a villainous supporting role in the original world. Perhaps her acting skills were too good, which made her hated. She played the black-hearted white lotus so well that she was cursed online for half a year.
Fans who were too immersed in the drama wished she were dead and cursed her viciousness online every day.
Some fans even found her rented apartment, sent her dead rats, and photoshopped her portrait to look like a funeral portrait, forcing her to move and making her afraid to go out for a long time.
Shen Wuyang's silent and gloomy appearance seemed somewhat 'fragile,' and this insignificant fragility touched the strings of her heart with pity.
Some writers are lonely at heart and possess exceptionally sensitive emotions. Shen Wuyang doesn't often communicate with others and is somewhat socially anxious. Suddenly being the center of attention among the guests made her particularly nervous.
Fortunately, Chu Ruofu showed concern.
As long as she doesn't find him annoying, she's happy with him and not afraid of him.
The live stream chat was filled with shock.
[The fourth male lead is actually the author '山河无恙' (Shanhe Wuyang).]
[Ahhhhh, I'm a huge fan of Shanhe Wuyang! I've read every single one of his works.]
[He was able to write "Memories of Murder" at the age of fourteen; no wonder everyone says he achieved fame at a young age.]
Many people online speculated that Shanhe Wuyang was a middle-aged man, but it turns out he's a handsome young man.
[Shanhe Wuyang's new book is currently being serialized; all readers are welcome to read it!]
Li Yichen and Qiao Yimo, one is a film emperor and the other is a film empress, they need no introduction, everyone knows them.
Gu Junsheng is a director of a technology company, Xia Yuqing is a cosplay influencer with millions of followers, and Shen Wuyang is a suspense writer. Now, only Song Yi, Lu Xubai, and Chu Ruofu have not revealed their professional identities.
Xia Yuqing frequently performs at commercial events and is used to interacting warmly with her fans; she has a natural talent for controlling the atmosphere.
After figuring out Shen Wuyang's identity, she looked at Lu Xubai sitting at the end and asked sweetly, "Lu Xubai, what about you?"
Of the male guests, she was most interested in Lu Xubai, which is why she asked him to be her partner on the island. However, Lu Xubai and she had almost nothing to talk about. His handsome face was cold and aloof, which could drive anyone crazy.
No matter how much she questioned him, he wouldn't say what he did for a living, remaining mysterious.
The guests' eyes were focused on Lu Xubai, and the viewers in the live broadcast room were also very curious and even began to speculate.
I'm guessing he's a fitness instructor.
[Given his height and build, the third male lead is very likely a national-level athlete.]
The third male lead is either a tennis or equestrian athlete; after all, he has a very refined air about him.
I think the third male lead has a profession related to artistic creation.
Chu Ruofu looked up at the person opposite her. Lu Xubai was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with wheat-colored skin and a tall build. He looked a lot like an ancient Egyptian nobleman.
Anyway, he shouldn't be a lazy, spoiled rich kid.
Lu Xubai, who had been eating in silence, raised his eyebrows, his deep blue eyes revealing indifference.
Those eyes were as cold as a cold-blooded animal's, always ready to pounce on their prey, exuding an overwhelming and irresistible aura.
Heterochromatic pupils, beautiful yet dangerous.
Chu Ruofu met his gaze for a moment, then looked away, somewhat hesitant to meet his eyes.
Lu Xubai spoke calmly, "Lawyer."
"Huh?" Xia Yuqing exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually a lawyer."
The guests were a little surprised. According to people's stereotypes, lawyers are eloquent, shrewd, and polite. His distinctive hair and clothing were nothing like those of a lawyer.
Bullet comments:
[I guessed any profession, but I never imagined the third male lead would be a lawyer.]
Lawyers are very shrewd; be careful not to get scammed and lose everything.
Marrying a lawyer is a losing proposition; it's all about calculation, and both marriage and divorce can be incredibly costly.
I'm a little curious about what kind of case the third male lead is handling as a lawyer.
Chu Ruofu thought to herself that Lu Xubai would definitely not lose the lawsuit. His height and build made him seem like he could persuade people with reason.
The image of Lu Xubai grabbing the defendant by the collar and lifting him up made her laugh, and she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
Lu Xubai saw the smile that spread across her lips, and his deep blue eyes darkened.
Chu Ruofu met his gaze, her smile froze, slightly faded, and she lowered her long, black eyelashes once more.
She felt embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed, and nervously poked at the crab meat in her bowl with her chopsticks.
A faint glint flashed in Lu Xubai's eyes as he said, "I didn't bring my business card to record this variety show. If any of you have any disputes that require legal action, you can contact me."
Qiao Yimo flashed a charming smile and asked softly, "Are there any discounts?"
Lu Xubai glanced around and said, "If you're the ones who come to me for a lawsuit, I can give you a 20% discount."
"I hope I'll never have to go to court," Xia Yuqing said, then asked curiously, "Is it expensive?"
Lu Xubai: "This concerns customer privacy, so I cannot answer."
Song Yi glanced at Lu Xubai thoughtfully.
"Sister Song, you still haven't told us what you do," Xia Yuqing turned to talk to Song Yi, who was sitting next to her.
Song Yi smiled brightly and confidently: "The fashion designer and founder, Xuan Niao and Tang Xi are both Chinese-style brands under my company."
Live stream chat:
Wow! She's a female entrepreneur!
[Xuan Niao and Tang Xi are made of comfortable materials and have beautiful designs; surprisingly, they are brands under the company of the second female lead.]
[The second female lead is a big shot.]
Sister Song is awesome, she's so outstanding.
The guests' professions have been basically revealed, and judging from their attire and occupations, they are all very accomplished.
After eating and drinking her fill, Chu Ruofu felt sleepy.
The production team hasn't let the guests choose their rooms yet. If they had chosen their rooms, she could have gone straight to her bedroom for a nap.
No one cared about Chu Ruofu's profession. She was quite satisfied. She just wanted to be a marginal figure in the romance variety show and the original book. Stealing the spotlight and causing controversy were big troubles for her.
But some people don't want to let her go.
"It seems Chu Ruofu hasn't told everyone what she does for a living yet?" The young man with flaxen brown hair smiled nonchalantly as he stared at her.
Chu Ruofu, who was suddenly called upon: "..."
The guests' eyes fell on Chu Ruofu.
Chu Ruofu gave a polite smile: "A minor actor, not worth mentioning."
Qiao Yimo looked at Chu Ruofu at the end, her brows furrowing slightly. She felt like she had seen this female guest somewhere before.
Li Yichen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Chu Ruofu to be an actress. No wonder he had a strange feeling about her and couldn't help but pay attention to her.
Since he's an actor in the entertainment industry, why should she avoid him? As long as Chu Ruofu can get close to him, her future career will be smooth sailing straight to the top.
Qiao Yimo was able to thrive in the entertainment industry a few years ago thanks to his influence.
The viewers in the live stream were somewhat disappointed. With award-winning actors and actresses preceding them, the identity of this unknown actor seemed too ordinary.
[They're not complete novices; they're probably celebrities who came to participate in a dating reality show to boost their careers.]
[The female lead should not pollute dating reality shows; she should leave immediately.]
I have a feeling the female lead will cause trouble in the future.
[Can't we be a little more tolerant of the female guests? The young actress hasn't offended anyone, has she?]
The female lead looks young and good-looking; as long as she gains popularity and attention, she'll definitely be able to get many roles in the future.
The viewers in the live stream were making a lot of noise.
After the guests finished their meal, the program director announced that the guests would take a break for a while.
The villa rented by the production team is very large, with three floors and many rooms. The guests can choose to explore the villa with someone or have free time.
Chu Ruofu asked the production crew for an air conditioning blanket, quietly went to the sofa, took off her shoes, occupied the small sofa by the window, and lazily yawned.
All a salted fish wants is to eat its fill and sleep well.
She has to record a program in the afternoon, so she needs to rest well and conserve her energy.
Chu Ruofu wrapped herself in a blanket, closed her eyes, and felt comfortable in the room with the air conditioning on. The temperature was very low, and the blanket was just right.
The living room was brightly lit and glaringly bright. She couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried, so she silently counted sheep in her mind to force herself to shut down the computer.
...
She had been asleep for an unknown amount of time when she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her cheek. She groggily opened her eyes and a handsome face came into view.
The man took off the sunglasses hanging on the high bridge of his nose, revealing a pair of captivating fox-like eyes. Anyone who looked into those eyes would have the illusion that they were being loved by him.
Chu Ruofu's heart skipped a beat. She sat up, wrapped in the air conditioning blanket, and moved back to press herself against the sofa, her voice tense: "What are you doing?"
Li Yichen raised an eyebrow, smiled, and said, "I brought you ice cream and also woke you up."
Chu Ruofu looked at the vanilla chocolate ice cream in his hand; it was this thing that had touched her face and woken her up.
Li Yichen shook the ice cream in his hand, "It's so hot, I'll have an ice cream to cool down."
Chu Ruofu looked at Li Yichen. Was he really that kind?
Li Yichen narrowed his fox-like eyes and his smile deepened: "I specially went to buy ice cream for everyone, don't you want some?"
Hearing him say that, Chu Ruofu knelt up on the sofa and obediently reached out to take it. However, when she reached out to take it, the young man pulled back, and not only did she fail to get it, but he also grabbed her wrist.
The man's hands were large and hot.
Chu Ruofu subconsciously pulled her hand back, raised her eyes and glared at him: "Let go."
Li Yichen's tall figure loomed over her. He looked down and carefully examined the expression on her face before asking, "Am I that annoying?"
Chu Ruofu's breathing quickened slightly. Due to her posture, she could only look up at him. "You are annoying right now."
Li Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This is the first time I've heard someone say that."
