Chapter 2, Section 2: Chu Ruofu desperately wanted to use something to shut him up...
Chu Ruofu walked to the designated filming location, and the crew carrying the camera began filming, with several cameras shooting simultaneously.
The female guest's fair feet appeared in the camera's view as she approached with light, slow steps. The camera then shifted from the scenery to her fair, slender shoulders, straight collarbones, and delicate arms, before finally focusing on her long, slender body in a halter dress.
The viewers in the live stream were initially very excited, spamming the chat with messages, eagerly anticipating the guest's appearance.
Wow, the female lead is so fair-skinned, she's even fairer than if she'd had whitening injections!
[I'm in a real hurry! Quickly show your face so I can see what you look like!]
[Is the female lead too thin? She looks a bit malnourished, but she does look good on camera.]
[She has so much hair, long and black; she must be an absolute beauty.]
[Hey, let me see the beautiful guest's face!]
The camera panned to her face, revealing her pointed chin, and slowly zoomed out to show Chu Ruofu's entire face. Her straight black bangs covered her eyebrows, and she lowered her head slightly, exuding a reserved and timid temperament. Her face was pretty, with fair skin being her most striking feature.
The live stream chat was buzzing with discussion.
[I'm a little disappointed. The female guest seemed quite ordinary; I thought she'd be stunning based on her figure.]
Was the female lead forced into the role by powerful connections?
[Quickly move on to the next one and check the quality of the guests later on. If the guests aren't good, I won't watch this season.]
I think the female lead is quite good-looking, much prettier than the average person on the street.
[It would be better to just go out on the street and find ordinary people to film the show. Everyone's here to see outstanding guests dating, so the guests definitely need to be exceptionally good-looking.]
[The long, straight black hair with bangs gives off a melancholic manga girl vibe; I think it's quite delicate and pretty.]
Chu Ruofu walked slowly onto the yacht, casually found a seat and sat down. The production team saw the comments and realized that she didn't intend to greet the audience, so they didn't film her anymore and quickly announced the next guest.
"Now, our first male guest will be appearing..."
[So handsome!!!]
[So aloof, just my type of male guest. Luckily, the male guests themselves are of good quality.]
He looked like a Wall Street elite, with the air of a high-society tycoon.
[Aren't the male guests hot dressed like this in the summer?]
After boarding the ship, Chu Ruofu stopped paying attention to the recording of the program until she heard the excited voice of the system.
System: [Host, look! Male guest number one has arrived.]
A man dressed in a shirt and trousers stepped onto the ship. His hair was neatly styled, and he was tall and looked like an aristocratic elite from high society.
After boarding the ship, the man's gaze lingered on her for half a second before shifting away and casually finding a seat to sit down.
The man was handsome, but his attitude was aloof and indifferent; he did not interact with the camera.
Bullet comments:
Don't the guests greet each other at all when they meet?
[It seems both the female and male leads are aloof and cold characters; they don't have a single thing to say to each other.]
The female and male leads have absolutely no chemistry; neither is interested in the other.
[The atmosphere is so awkward, let's quickly bring in the next guest to warm things up.]
The system kept introducing him to Chu Ruofu: "[His name is Gu Junsheng. He has a background in finance, founded a company specializing in technology development, and possesses exceptional personal abilities. He has a cold and aloof personality and is the most difficult guest to win over. For him, profit is paramount; he's on the variety show to promote his company's new project.]"
Chu Ruofu didn't read the anti-fans' fanfiction carefully; she only skimmed through it and wasn't interested in the characters.
After a lengthy detailed explanation, the system said: [Strategy rating: 5 stars; we do not recommend choosing him.]
Chu Ruofu wasn't listening carefully at all, nor did she care which female guest the male guest chose. She was thinking that the yacht couldn't block the sun from shining in, and since she had already completed her entrance process, she should try to get her sun protection clothing back.
She lowered her head and secretly texted the staff member who usually handled guests' problems, asking if she could secretly return the sun protection clothing to her.
During this time, the second female guest appeared.
In the video, she has medium-length black hair, wears a light-colored sleeveless silk top with a fishtail skirt, light-colored high heels, and silver-rimmed glasses, exuding an intellectual and elegant air.
[You're so beautiful, sister!]
[It seems she dressed up nicely before participating in the dating reality show.]
I love gentle beauties the most.
The second female lead has very pleasing features overall, and with her careful styling, her overall aura is elevated several levels.
Facing the camera, the second female lead greeted the audience in a very generous manner, earning widespread praise.
I've decided to give my popularity vote to the second female lead.
[It seems like the second female lead is great to ship with any of her co-stars.]
Upon boarding the ship, female guest number two, Song Yi, scanned the area.
The first female guest and the first male guest sat on opposite sides of the seats, like the Chu River and Han border, separated by a distance, looking like they were not familiar with each other and had not greeted each other before.
Before the guests appeared, the production team told them that they could sit anywhere on the boat and were free to choose who they wanted to sit with.
Since the ship's seating arrangement was designed with two semi-circular arcs, Song Yi thought for a moment, then her gaze fell on Gu Junsheng, who exuded the air of an elite CEO. She stepped over and smiled slightly, "May I sit here?"
Gu Junsheng nodded faintly, politely but distantly.
Song Yi sat down and spoke to him: "Hello, my name is Song Yi."
Gu Junsheng's face remained expressionless: "Gu Junsheng."
Seeing the other party's cold attitude, Song Yi's smile faded, but she didn't lose face because of the live broadcast, and picked up two more topics to chat about.
I had little interest in the live stream.
The male lead is really taking the aloof persona to the extreme.
Times have changed; the aloof persona is no longer popular in variety shows and can even be off-putting.
[Looks like there's no chance for the male lead and the second female lead, sister should probably look for someone else.]
The second female lead doesn't care; there are still male guests who haven't appeared yet.
Seeing that Gu Junsheng was not interested in her, Song Yi got up and walked to Chu Ruofu on the other side, sitting down next to her.
"Hello."
Chu Ruofu was slightly surprised and looked up at her. "...Hello."
The two exchanged names.
The production team didn't stipulate that guests couldn't change seats after sitting down, so Chu Ruofu was forcibly pulled into the shot.
I'd completely forgotten about the female lead.
[Haha, Sister Song is so clever! She used the excuse of greeting the female guest to switch seats.]
Actually... it's not impossible to ship a strong, mature woman with a timid, innocent girl.
The female lead's skin was so fair it seemed to glow in the sunlight; I was so envious! I wish I were that fair.
Soon, another male guest boarded the ship. He had flaxen brown hair, wore a pair of designer sunglasses on his high nose, and was dressed in a floral short-sleeved shirt and dark wide-leg pants. He had a carefree and nonchalant demeanor.
The live stream chat was already flooded with messages.
【elder brother! ! ! 】
Holy crap, they actually got Li Yichen on the third season of Romantic Encounter! That's a huge investment.
Why is my brother on a dating reality show? My heart is broken.
[The third male guest turned out to be a movie star! A romantic encounter with the production team—you're amazing, you can get anyone to come!]
[The third season isn't entirely made up of amateurs, so it seems like it has potential.]
After arriving on the boat, Li Yichen casually glanced around before taking a long stride to sit down next to Song Yi, getting the closest to the two female guests.
"Hi." Li Yichen's lips curled into a bright smile. "What are your names?"
Song Yi was pleasantly surprised to see the movie star beside her, and smiled, "Song Yi, I've seen your movies."
Li Yichen raised an eyebrow: "You're not my fan, are you?"
Song Yi neither admitted nor denied it, saying, "I have a friend who really likes you. Can I ask you for an autograph?"
“Of course,” Li Yichen said. “Ten signatures are fine.”
The viewers in the live stream immediately started shipping them.
The second female lead and the second male lead are a good couple.
[The key to dating is finding someone you can talk to. The second female lead and the second male lead have a lot in common and enjoy their conversations.]
I'm a little curious about what the second female lead's profession is; she must be very successful.
The female lead was completely ignored while sitting together; it was so awkward.
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Chu Ruofu quietly moved to the side, wanting to get away from the camera and play on her phone.
Li Yichen didn't ignore the girl next to him. He had just asked the two female guests their names, and Song Yi responded to him quickly, while the female guest with long black hair didn't even look at him.
The seawater and seagulls outside seemed more attractive than him.
Li Yichen, who has always enjoyed the adulation of the crowd, has never been completely ignored.
While chatting with Song Yi, Li Yichen kept his eyes fixed on the girl who was trying to hide like a little white rabbit. He decided to grab the rabbit by the ears.
"You still haven't told me your name?" He stared intently at the girl whose head was bowed.
Seeing this, Song Yi looked at Chu Ruofu, who was not far from the two of them.
The system, which had been invisible for a long time, screamed in Chu Ruofu's ear: [Host, answer him quickly! Don't miss such a good opportunity!]
Chu Nufu:......
Li Yichen's pleasant voice came through, with a hint of amusement: "Are you shy?"
Chu Ruofu looked up. She didn't like being stared at directly, which made her feel like she had nowhere to escape.
“Chu Ruofu,” she answered softly.
Looking at the girl with slightly flushed cheeks, Li Yichen, satisfied with the answer, asked, "Is it Fu-mei from Jin Yong's novels?"
She's just an ordinary, unnoticed person, so why is the second male guest so fixated on her?
Chu Ruofu desperately wanted to shut him up.
Just then, a third female guest arrived on the boat. The girl was tall, sweet-looking, with burgundy curly hair, and wore a sexy halter-neck bodycon dress.
The girl had a pair of long, straight legs that would make anyone envious.
[The third female lead is so cute and beautiful.]
Those long legs are absolutely mesmerizing.
[The devout woman would gladly exchange ten pounds of fat for such long legs.]
[Her sweet and alluring appearance could easily captivate any of the male guests.]
[She's unbeatable, the third female lead is the prettiest.]
The third female guest's gaze swept over all the guests, and when she saw Li Yichen, her eyes lit up. She clearly recognized him and walked over.
Chu Ruofu felt a chill run down her spine.
She had wanted to find a quiet corner to stay in peace, but instead, they all started coming to her.
The girl went straight up to Li Yichen and asked in surprise, "Are you Li Yichen?"
Li Yichen smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said we just look alike?"
"I don't believe it." The girl sat down on the other side of Li Yichen, smiling. "I didn't expect you to participate in a dating reality show."
Li Yichen joked, "I'm not young anymore, it's time for me to find someone to date."
"I haven't introduced myself yet." The girl smiled confidently. "My name is Xia Yuqing, Yuqing after the rain. It's nice to meet you all."
The atmosphere on the ship became even better after Xia Yuqing arrived.
Even the domineering CEO Gu Junsheng, who had been silently standing to the side like a lonely iceberg, spoke up, told everyone his name, and gave a casual greeting.
Live stream chat.
So far, male guest number two, Li Yichen, and female guest number three, Xia Yuqing, are the most popular.
[Li Yichen is witty and humorous, and a renowned film emperor; all the female guests would probably like him.]
I'm even more excited for the later male and female guests.
[Guest number three has arrived, and he's another top-notch handsome guy.]
The system whispered in Chu Ruofu's ear: "How about we try to seduce the third male guest? The first two are quite difficult, but the third seems much easier."
Chu Ruofu simply didn't want to deal with the system that was obsessed with romance, so she turned her head to look.
A tall, slender figure came into view.
The man was wearing a dark shirt and casual pants, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his strong and powerful arms. His black hair was combed back, revealing a handsome face with sharp features.
The man with long, black hair that reached his neck exuded an untamed and wild aura.
