Chapter 8. Poor body shape leads to sexual tension.
Why did Lu Xubai choose her?
Chu Ruofu was filled with questions, completely baffled as to what had caught Lu Xubai's attention.
Upon closer inspection, Chu Ruofu noticed that Lu Xubai had deep-set features, and with his deep blue eyes, he looked somewhat mixed-race. It was estimated that he exercised and did outdoor sports for many years, as his forearms and long legs had clearly defined muscle lines.
Wearing only a pair of beach shorts, he revealed his strong and full chest muscles. He had just exercised, and his chest muscles exuded a vibrant and powerful energy, which was very attractive.
His tall figure stood before her like a human wall, his shadow completely covering her.
The viewers in the live stream were surprised.
Did the third male lead choose the first female lead?
[How disappointing! I thought he would choose the most popular and beautiful actress as the fourth female lead.]
Why did the third male lead choose her when the female lead came in last place in the competition?
[Sigh, I think it's good. The difference in physique between the female lead and the third male lead creates a lot of sexual tension. I'm shipping them now.]
Not only were the audience surprised, but the other guests and staff were also very surprised that Lu Xubai chose Chu Ruofu.
Shen Wuyang's handsome face was gloomy, and his gaze could pierce through Lu Xubai's back.
Gu Junsheng's eyes flickered slightly, his expression indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Li Yichen, who was usually nonchalant, lost his smile, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his amber eyes.
Lu Xubai looked at Chu Ruofu, who was clearly unwilling, with deep, dark eyes, and said, "I choose you."
Chu Ruofu nodded slightly, somewhat helplessly, without saying anything.
The staff announced: "Song Yi and Gu Junsheng will form one team, Lu Xubai and Chu Ruofu will form another team, and the remaining guests will be matched by drawing lots."
Bullet comments:
[It's a lottery! How exciting!]
I thought the guests would be allowed to match freely.
It's unclear who will be chosen.
[I hope the second male lead and the fourth female lead end up in the same team; I love watching breakup and reconciliation dramas.]
Please, brother, don't draw Qiao Yimo.
The production team was prepared in advance. The staff took out two sealed boxes with only one hole left, containing paper balls with numbers written on them.
The guests who have formed teams do not need to participate; they can simply stay on the sidelines and watch.
Song Yi stood with Gu Junsheng, feeling happy. She knew that Gu Junsheng was more interested in Qiao Yimo, the actress with a large following, but men are men you have to fight for, and she had to fight for herself.
Forced melons won't be sweet, but you should still try eating them with dipping sauce.
Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai stood together, one tall and one short. Because of his tall stature, she silently moved into the shadow where he stood, using him to block the sun.
She was secretly pleased that no one had seen this.
Lu Xubai glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the guests who were drawing lots.
Xia Yuqing was the first to reach for the paper ball, and Qiao Yimo glanced at Li Yichen before reaching for the remaining paper balls.
On the male guests' side, Li Yichen took the paper ball first. Shen Wuyang was unable to team up with Chu Ruofu, so he didn't care which female guest he teamed up with next. He took the paper ball and unfolded it in front of everyone.
Shen Wuyang drew the number one paper ball.
Xia Yuqing looked at Li Yichen with a surprised expression and blinked her eyes: "I'm so lucky."
Li Yichen unfolded the paper ball, and sure enough, it was number two, just like Xia Yuqing. The two would be teaming up as partners in this episode.
Live stream chat:
Oh, what a pity.
It looks like the fourth female character will be teaming up with the fourth male character.
[I feel so sorry for Momo. Couldn't the production team have arranged for her to team up with Li Yichen?]
This is what they call being destined to meet but not to be together.
Qiao Yimo opened the paper ball in her hand. She was paper ball number one. It must be that God was playing tricks on her. She didn't even have a one-in-five chance to team up with Li Yichen.
The show is still live, and all the male guests are high-quality men. It wouldn't be a loss for her to be on any team, but she has feelings for Li Yichen and hasn't had the chance, so she's feeling bad.
Qiao Yimo smiled warmly, walked to Shen Wuyang's side, and said softly, "We're on the same team."
Shen Wuyang nodded indifferently.
The production team announced: "[The guests can now take a ten-minute break. There will be a game segment shortly, so please be prepared.]"
There were beach chairs and tables arranged by the production team on the beach, with water and drinks provided by sponsors on them.
During the break, the guests went to find places to sit down and rehydrate.
The guests paired up and walked together to chat. Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai walked side by side under a blue striped parasol and sat down on a beach chair.
It's so hot.
Chu Ruofu picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and took small sips.
Lu Xubai lay down on the beach chair next to him. His long, muscular physique resembled that of a male lead in a movie, with beautiful muscle lines that were particularly pleasing to the eye.
Chu Ruofu's eyes seemed to be burned, and she was a little embarrassed to look away. She looked away and stared blankly at the blue sea and sky.
Thinking about the upcoming game segment, she felt it necessary to give Lu Xubai a heads-up.
She remembers this game segment very clearly.
Qiao Yimo fell and twisted her ankle. It wasn't very serious, but when an artist gets injured, it's like the sky is falling, and the staff are extremely nervous.
Li Yichen abandoned his partner and even disregarded the task, anxiously picking her up to rest and asking the production team to find medical personnel to check on her condition.
Because the game mission recording was still in progress, Qiao Yimo showed everyone her strong side, insisting on continuing to complete the mission.
So, during the live broadcast, her partner helped her, and together they slowly walked towards the finish line.
This move evoked sympathy from people all over the internet, who praised her for being strong and dedicated. As a result, even though she lost the game, she was still the most popular female guest in the first episode.
She completely ignored the guests who were recording the show with her. They were all exposed to the sun and fell several times while trying to complete the task, but they still persevered to the end.
Qiao Yimo's fans also attacked her partner, saying that her partner was too rough and didn't care about her body at all, which caused her to fall.
Chu Ruofu remembered that the male guest who was criticized by the entire internet was Lu Xubai.
Now that Lu Xubai has chosen her, will she be dragged along the ground by him during the upcoming game missions?
No, I still need to have a serious talk with him.
Chu Ruofu turned to look at Lu Xubai, who was resting with his eyes closed, wondering how to start the conversation.
Lu Xubai seemed to sense something, and with his eyes still closed, said, "Speak your mind."
"I came in last place in the competition just now," Chu Ruofu said.
Lu Xubai opened his eyes and looked at her: "And then?"
Chu Ruofu said, "I'll hold you back in the upcoming game missions."
Lu Xubai spoke calmly, but his words were arrogant: "I'm enough."
He frequently engages in outdoor sports such as rock climbing and mountaineering, so the game tasks assigned by the program team were a piece of cake for him.
Chu Ruofu looked Lu Xubai up and down. He really didn't seem like a lawyer. She unconsciously whispered what she thought to herself.
Chu Ruofu looked a little embarrassed and hoped that Lu Xubai across from her hadn't heard her whispering.
Unfortunately, Lu Xubai had very sharp ears and actually heard it.
Lu Xubai stared at her with his deep blue eyes and said, "Don't judge anyone by their appearance. Superficial understanding will only bring you trouble."
Chu Ruofu blushed, inwardly complaining with embarrassment and indignation, "How do you look like a lawyer?"
Lu Xubai said in a calm tone: "Do you think lawyers are all like those on TV, wearing suits and glasses, carrying briefcases every day, all polite and refined, or looking shrewd and calculating, always talking about money?"
Chu Nufu:......
The image of elite lawyers on television is nothing more than this, and most lawyers in novels are also portrayed as highly professional.
Chu Ruofu asked, "Isn't that so?"
Looking at her clumsy and naive appearance, Lu Xubai really wanted to open her head and see what was inside.
At the sound of a whistle, the production crew members used a megaphone to remind the guests to gather.
Chu Ruofu obediently followed Lu Xubai to the starting point of the game mission.
The production team announced: "[Please have your feet tied together with the help of staff. You need to work together to reach the destination, retrieve the hanging apple, and return to the starting point.]"
The team with the shortest time will receive a voucher for the island's most luxurious presidential suite, where they can spend a romantic night.
After hearing the game rules and rewards from the production team, the guests had different expressions on their faces.
Qiao Yimo glanced at Li Yichen, feeling even more disappointed. If she could be chosen to be with Li Yichen, she could spend the night alone with him.
“How can we walk with our feet tied together?” Xia Yuqing looked worried and turned to Li Yichen: “Can we manage? It would be so embarrassing if we accidentally fell and were seen on camera by the audience.”
Li Yichen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll try my best not to let you fall."
This statement aligns with his public image in the entertainment industry; he is always a gentleman with impeccable manners and charm, making him very likable to everyone.
Xia Yuqing's face flushed, and she said, "Then please take good care of me."
Song Yi often goes to the gym to work out, but she has never worked with a man before. She looked at Gu Junsheng beside her and asked, "Are you confident?"
As a director of a technology company, Gu Junsheng usually pays great attention to health and exercise. His physical fitness is almost as good as that of the other guests. He nodded rather aloofly.
Chu Ruofu stood beside Lu Xubai, still using his tall body to secretly block the sun.
The two did not exchange words, and seemed indifferent to the upcoming game mission.
The camera panned to the two of them, and the audience started to discuss it.
[The size difference between Lu Xubai and Chu Ruofu is really huge when they stand together.]
[Not only are their body types different, but their skin tones are also different. Ahhh, they have such great chemistry!]
[Slurp, Fufu looks like she'll fall over as soon as Lu Xubai pushes her.]
The female lead and the third male lead barely interacted; they seemed quite unfamiliar with each other.
[The two just met today, so it's normal that they're not familiar with each other. Lu Xubai's personality is probably that of a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.]
[Am I the only one who noticed that the female lead was using the third male lead to block out the sun? Hahaha, that's so funny.]
Staff members came over to tie ribbons for the guests; the seemingly delicate ribbons were actually very strong.
Because they had to be tied together, their hands inevitably touched. Lu Xubai felt the girl's soft skin and looked down at her.
