Chapter 73 He wanted to hold her hand, but he didn't dare. ...
The two had just come out of the cultural and creative store when it started raining again, the rain pattering on the mottled dark gray floor tiles, creating puddles in some places.
In the live stream, Gu Junsheng wore an expensive watch on his left wrist and a red string of acacia seeds on his right wrist. He held up a light blue oil-paper umbrella and looked at the girl beside him.
This scene has a very TV drama feel to it, with a great atmosphere.
A bright red rope was tied around his wrist, as if locking away his aloof and ascetic nature with a thread of longing.
Chu Ruofu kept glancing at his wrist.
Gu Junsheng noticed her gaze, looked at her calmly, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Chu Ruofu shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just...it feels a little strange."
He represents the new era of technology, mature and elegant, exuding a noble air at all times. The red string tied around his wrist looks a bit like a child's prank, creating a sense of incongruity.
Gu Junsheng appeared calm, as if he didn't think that having a red string tied around his wrist would be inappropriate for a mature man.
"It's not surprising. These two red acacia bean ropes are a pair, perfect for couples to wear together."
He thought of the matching couple jewelry she wore, the red thread connecting their hearts, symbolizing their eternal union, and the unbreakable bond between them.
The red thread of fate from the Old Man Under the Moon binds him and her together, an unbreakable bond that will last for lifetimes.
Seeing that he didn't seem awkward, Chu Ruofu was in a good mood and said, "Many men would think wearing this kind of bracelet is childish. Aren't you afraid of what others might think..."
Mocking? Ridiculing?
Neither of these two words is appropriate. Gu Junsheng holds a high position, and no one dares to laugh at him. They might just gossip about him behind his back, and his relatives and friends might tease him.
Gu Junsheng's eyes were cold and his voice was indifferent: "I only care about your opinion."
It doesn't matter what others say. If you take everything they say to heart, you'll be exhausted living in this world.
He wanted to show the other male guests the matching red bracelets, to demonstrate that only he and Chu Ruofu could wear matching bracelets, and that they were truly connected.
He had already stamped her seal on his identity; it belonged to her.
Chu Ruofu's eyes flickered upon hearing Gu Junsheng's words, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Live stream chat:
【Aaaaaaah, I'm a leopard kitten!】
Who said President Gu was a taciturn blockhead? He's clearly very good at flirting.
The female and male leads are wearing matching bracelets; they'd be doing a disservice to the matchmaker by not getting married.
I'll bring the Civil Affairs Bureau here to you right now.
After leaving the temple, the two strolled through the streets of the ancient city, where they met several spectators and fans and took photos with them.
They dined at a quiet restaurant that evening, and the two were like lovers in their first love. Every glance and physical contact made their hearts flutter.
After their date, the two returned to the Heartbeat House, where Gu Junsheng escorted her to her bedroom door.
After the date, Gu Junsheng finished recording his episode and had to return to Beijing for work.
Chu Ruofu felt a pang of reluctance. The two of them hadn't had much time together during the recording of the show, and today, after a whole day of dating, she was in a sweet and wonderful mood. The sudden separation made her feel slightly down.
Gu Junsheng was thinking about her date with Shen Wuyang the next day.
The guests need to follow the show's rules and cannot refuse dates. He might feel jealous, but he can't stop her or disrupt the balance between them.
Gu Junsheng was reluctant to part with her and wanted to kiss her, but considering her identity and the live broadcast cameras, he suppressed his surging emotions. He looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Get some rest."
Chu Ruofu hummed in agreement and said, "Goodnight."
"Good night." Gu Junsheng left.
Chu Ruofu first removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and washed up. She returned to bed and lay down, raising her hand to look at the red string on her slender wrist, her eyes sparkling with a hint of a smile.
Xia Yuqing left after recording the show, and now she is alone in the bedroom. After the lights are turned off, the mushroom-shaped night light on the bedside table emits a gentle light that is neither too bright nor too dim, so that she is not afraid of the dark.
Chu Ruofu gradually calmed down, staring blankly at the nightlight, thinking about her date with Shen Wuyang tomorrow.
Throughout the many episodes, Shen Wuyang has always been attentive to her emotions and has given her surprise gifts every episode. The shy and reserved young man has been quietly supporting her.
He was like her shadow in the darkness, accompanying her and protecting her.
She was unable to reciprocate his passionate love.
Chu Ruofu felt conflicted and a little melancholy. How could she gently persuade him to give up? There were plenty of fish in the sea; why should he be so fixated on her?
Chu Ruofu naively thought that perhaps when he first came to the show, she took care of him politely, which made him feel her kindness. He was touched by her care and confused kindness with love, and did not really like her.
Lost in her thoughts, she fell asleep.
The next day, I stretched my back after waking up and got up to start preparing.
The production team really knows how to style their guests. Today they're going on a date with the relatively young Shen Wuyang, so they've given her a look that's like that of a young lady from a wealthy family.
She wore a white shirt and a gray pleated skirt, with a black belt around her waist, small leather shoes and white slouch socks. Her hair was slightly curled down her back, and a delicate clip was held behind her left ear. She looked youthful, beautiful, and playful.
The production crew took her to her destination. Shen Wuyang, who had arrived at the meeting place ahead of time, immediately ran over to her as soon as she got out of the car.
"Fufu."
Shen Wuyang was dressed in a white shirt and trousers, just like her, with a plaid tie tied at the collar, looking like a handsome and energetic campus heartthrob.
With their exquisite outfits, the two could easily star in a youth campus idol drama right now.
Live stream chat:
Ahhhhh, I absolutely love this handsome young man! He's so cute and handsome!
They're such a perfect match! Their youthful energy and vibrant personality, so youthful and vibrant, makes me want to fall in love too.
It's so sweet, the air feels like it's filled with pink bubbles.
[It wasn't easy for the fourth male lead; he finally got to go on a date with the first female lead. Thank you to the production team, thank you to the sponsors, thank you to God, and thank you to all the fans who ship them.]
Chu Ruofu, carrying a small black bag, smiled at the boy who was running towards her.
Under the sunlight, Shen Wuyang was momentarily stunned, his ears felt hot, and his heart was pounding wildly.
He stood there dumbfounded in front of her, muttering, "Fufu, you look so beautiful today, so gorgeous..."
Chu Ruofu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and returned the compliment: "You look handsome today too."
"Really?" Shen Wuyang scratched his head somewhat uncertainly and asked, "Am I really that handsome?"
Chu Ruofu nodded. The male guests on the dating reality show were all good-looking and had excellent backgrounds. Romantic Encounter was the most stringent dating reality show on the entire internet, and even the non-celebrity guests were required to be good-looking.
Chu Ruofu glanced at the wide square, which was the entrance to the amusement park. It seemed that Shen Wuyang was going to take her to the amusement park today.
"Fufu," Shen Wuyang said shyly, "I've never been on a date before, so I don't know where to go."
"My college friends say that girls are more likely to have a good time on dates if you take them to an amusement park. Do you like this date location?"
Shen Wuyang said seriously, "If you don't like it, we'll change it. You can go wherever you want."
Chu Ruofu said softly, "If you like it, let's go in."
Shen Wuyang led Chu Ruofu into the amusement park. He walked beside her, wanting to hold her hand but not daring to, which made the live stream viewers laugh.
[That's how innocent, virgin boys are; they don't even dare to hold hands.]
[Hahaha, the way the fourth guy looked so awkward was hilarious.]
Watching dating reality shows makes me nostalgic for my youth. On my first date with my boyfriend, he was just as hesitant to hold my hand, so I took his hand first.
[The Fuyang couple is so sweet! The puppy is so well-behaved and affectionate, it's so adorable!]
Chu Ruofu was afraid to try any thrilling activities, so she asked Shen Wuyang what he wanted to do.
"I've looked at the guide." Shen Wuyang took out his phone and said, "Fufu, do you want to ride the carousel? I'll take a picture for you."
Chu Ruofu was surprised by his thoughtfulness and said, "Then let's go ride the carousel."
No girl can resist a dreamy and romantic carousel, a perfect spot for taking amazing photos, fun and not thrilling.
Shen Wuyang volunteered to take her picture. Chu Ruofu was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to take good pictures, but after the carousel stopped, she looked at the photos and found that his angle was actually quite good, and he made her look very beautiful.
"You're so good at taking photos?" Chu Ruofu exclaimed in surprise.
Isn't it said that guys can't take good photos? Every boyfriend takes a really bad picture of his girlfriend.
Shen Wuyang said, "I've been learning photography lately."
He hadn't taken many photos before. In the previous episodes, when Li Yichen went on a date with Xia Yuqing, he made headlines for taking unflattering photos of the female guest and was heavily criticized by netizens.
Shen Wuyang thought to himself, since girls like taking photos to record their lives, he should learn photography well, since it's a plus.
Today's date came in handy.
Shen Wuyang watched Chu Ruofu's delighted expression as she looked at the photos, his eyes sparkling with joy.
Chu Ruofu's shock was yet to come. There was another attraction in the amusement park, which the boys called the Death Spinning Cups. You had to take a perfect photo of your girlfriend before you could get off.
Shen Wuyang actually took perfect videos and photos of her, which shows that he really studied photography composition and angles.
Chu Ruofu couldn't help but praise him: "You're really good at taking pictures."
"That's because you're good-looking." Shen Wuyang blushed slightly. "You look good no matter how you're photographed."
After playing a few rides, the two walked to the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel, high in the sky, was colorful and looked very appealing.
Shen Wuyang asked Chu Ruofu, "Fufu, would you like to ride the Ferris wheel?"
Chu Ruofu certainly wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. Back in her school days, she was reserved and shy, and rarely went out with friends. Occasionally, when she went to the park, she would just watch her friends go on the rides by herself.
She yearns for excitement but is too afraid to try new things, so she can only watch others have fun.
"Yes." She wanted to fulfill her wish.
The two went to queue up to ride the Ferris wheel. Stepping into the cramped space, the Ferris wheel started and slowly rose into the air. Chu Ruofu leaned against the glass window and looked down, while Shen Wuyang stared intently at her.
Legend has it that if you kiss your lover when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, you will stay together forever.
