Chapter 11: Which of the male leads would you choose? ...
Chu Ruofu just wanted to get there quickly, and Lu Xubai ran past her so fast that he didn't even have time to respond to Qiao Yimo's words.
In Lu Xubai's eyes, Shen Wuyang was just a boy with no competitiveness whatsoever, not even a competitor. The naive young man could only watch helplessly as the girl he admired was taken away.
Lu Xubai looked down at Chu Ruofu, whose face was pale. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her face was flushed.
His physical condition is really poor.
He thought.
She needs more exercise; if she can't even manage this short distance, what will she be like in the future...?
Lu Xubai gripped Chu Ruofu's waist tightly, lifting her up as she slid down, and said in a low voice, "Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Chu Ruofu was too exhausted to speak. Clutching the apple tightly, she was embraced by him as they ran quickly toward the finish line.
The live stream chat was very excited:
The female lead and the third male lead are going to take first place.
[The pitifully innocent fourth male lead is practically dying of jealousy.]
The puppy's wet eyes look so pitiful.
[The third male lead carried the first female lead through a game mission without seeming to exert any effort at all; he's incredibly strong.]
Is he really just a lawyer? Could he be using another persona, or perhaps he was a mercenary or something?
[The physique difference is so appealing; I also want a boyfriend like the third male lead—the kind who gives me a strong sense of security.]
Upon arriving at their destination, Chu Ruofu, panting, placed the apples on the table, and she and Lu Xubai were the first to grab them.
The victory whistle rang out under the blue sky.
A staff member announced through a megaphone: "Congratulations to Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai's team for being the first to reach the finish line. Congratulations to the two of you for winning a luxury presidential suite experience card."
Qiao Yimo and Shen Wuyang had just arrived at the place where they needed to get the apples, Song Yi and Gu Junsheng were about to reach the end, and Xia Yuqing and Li Yichen were also on their way back.
Upon hearing the staff's announcement, the guests who were still in the race looked toward the finish line.
Song Yi gave a wry smile and said, "Lu Xubai is too amazing. He doesn't seem like a lawyer; he's more like a professional athlete."
Gu Junsheng pursed his lips and looked at Chu Ruofu, who was nestled in Lu Xubai's arms. She was weak and helpless, as delicate and pitiful as a begonia battered by rain.
"I never expected Lu Xubai and Chu Ruofu to come in first place." Xia Yuqing said to Li Yichen, "Now Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai can enjoy the presidential suite. I'm so envious."
Xia Yuqing usually flies all over the country for commercial performances and stays in star-rated hotels costing a few thousand yuan at most. She has never stayed in a VVIP-level presidential suite and envies Chu Ruofu's good luck from the bottom of her heart.
Li Yichen, who was usually humorous and witty, fell silent at this moment.
Despite winning first place, Chu Ruofu wasn't particularly happy. She clutched her wildly beating heart and breathed heavily.
Who would have thought that filming a dating reality show would be so tiring?
She used to watch TV shows where the guests on dating reality shows only needed to stay in the "Heartbeat House," chat, have fun, and then go on a date with someone to complete the recording.
Why does she have to complete game tasks on the dating reality show she's participating in?
Lu Xubai looked down at her and asked, "Can you still stand?"
Chu Ruofu snapped out of her daze and realized she was leaning against him. Her pale face flushed red, and she quickly pushed him away, saying, "Yes, I can."
Lu Xubai squatted down, his well-defined fingers slowly untying the ribbons binding the two of them.
As Chu Ruofu saw the ribbon knot tied by the production team untie, she immediately tried to step aside, but her ankle was grabbed by a large hand, and Lu Xubai's cold voice came: "Don't move."
The man's large hand gripped her ankle firmly, its heat radiating from it.
Lu Xubai looked up at her and said, "What's the rush? Be careful not to step on the ribbon and fall."
His tone was like scolding a child, and Chu Ruofu's ears burned, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
Lu Xubai took the ribbon in his hand, stood up, his tall figure completely overshadowing her, and said, "You don't like me that much?"
Chu Ruofu looked at his handsome, cold face and shook her head: "No."
Lu Xubai's gaze fell on her back, where there were marks left by his clenched hand. He was only thinking about completing the game task as soon as possible and tried to control the strength in his hand, but he did not expect to leave red marks on her waist.
The marks left by his hand on her waist were obvious, hinting at a certain ambiguity.
He left his personal mark on her.
Lu Xubai's Adam's apple bobbed as he thought to himself, "Not only is she physically weak, but her skin is also fair and delicate, like a porcelain doll in a shop window. If you don't handle her carefully, she might break at any moment."
Guests who have completed the game tasks can rest in the shade. Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai sat down on beach chairs.
Song Yi and Gu Junsheng arrived second, followed by Xia Yuqing and Li Yichen. Only Qiao Yimo and Shen Wuyang remained, slowly returning.
Because Qiao Yimo injured her foot, the two could only return to the finish line very slowly.
Qiao Yimo tried to gain Li Yichen's attention by wrestling, but failed. She still had to persevere and finish the whole course, which made many viewers and fans feel sorry for her.
Sigh, I feel so sorry for the fourth female lead.
The second male lead is heartless; she's his ex-girlfriend, yet he shows her absolutely no concern.
I'm giving my popularity vote to the fourth female lead this time; she's really strong.
[I'm curious to see who the guests will send their "heart-fluttering" text messages to tonight.]
[It's pretty obvious who the guests' crushes are.]
The game mission is now completely over.
The production team stopped torturing the exhausted guests and announced that they could return to the villa to rest and have dinner together that evening.
When Chu Ruofu heard the announcement that they were going back to the villa to rest, she felt that the sound of the dismissal was like heavenly music.
After completing the games in the afternoon, the guests were all sweating profusely and, mindful of their appearance, quickly returned to the villa. The staff arranged rooms for everyone to shower and rest.
There was no need to draw lots or complete tasks when assigning rooms; the production team arranged a single room of roughly the same size for everyone.
The island villa is three stories high and has so many guest rooms that each guest can have their own room. Inside the villa, except for private spaces such as dressing rooms, bathrooms, and shower rooms which are not equipped with surveillance cameras, surveillance cameras are installed in the bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, and staircase.
Therefore, the interactions between the guests will be broadcast live to the audience.
As soon as Chu Ruofu returned to the villa, she found her suitcase, took out a purple sundress and underwear, and went to the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower as soon as possible.
Less than half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom after washing up, her hair half-dry with the ends slightly damp.
She yawned, went back to her room, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling like a salted fish.
It was a truly chaotic day.
I'm so tired.
I don't want to move at all.
Just as Chu Ruofu was letting her mind wander, the phones provided to the guests by the production team vibrated, indicating that a new message had arrived.
Chu Ruofu clicked on it and saw that it came from the official account of Romantic Encounter Season 3.
[There are text messages and pens in the bedroom drawer. Please write down what you want to say to your chosen guest before 8 PM tonight, and leave their name. Then, put it in the show's "Heartbeat Inbox."]
[Note: If a match is successful, your crush will be your first date.]
Chu Nufu:? ? ?
She thought that the partner she chose today was her first date.
Did she misremember the plot? It seems like the story she's experiencing is deviating more and more from the original text.
After being silent for most of the day, the system finally spoke up: [Host, which of the male leads would you choose?]
Chu Ruofu honestly replied, "I don't know."
Her only task is to obediently record variety shows; who she dates is not something she considers.
The system read her thoughts and asked: "With so many handsome and capable male guests, aren't you interested in any of them?"
Chu Ruofu nodded: "Yes, I'm not interested in any of them."
Besides, she remembered that all these men in the original story had feelings for the actress Qiao Yimo, so why would she want to compete with the female lead for a man?
system:……
What kind of lazy host did it end up with? Other hosts know they're supporting characters and strive to rise up and become the female lead, but Chu Ruofu just wants to follow the ordinary plot.
System: [The production team requires you to write down a male guest you like. Who do you plan to write down?]
Chu Ruofu's mind flashed back to the pitiful Shen Wuyang, then to the cold and domineering Lu Xubai, the fake gentleman fox Li Yichen, and then the taciturn Gu Junsheng.
She really didn't know who to write to.
There's no one I want to write about, and it's still early until 8 PM, so I'll put it aside for now.
On the other side, the guests who received the notification from the production team each had their own thoughts. Some picked up pens and wrote down their heartfelt words and the names of the guests they were interested in.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Shen Wuyang couldn't calm down in his room. He was anxious because he thought about how Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai would spend time together in the presidential suite after dinner tonight.
After receiving the notification from the program team, he picked up a pen and wrote down his heartfelt words and Chu Ruofu's name without hesitation.
Who will Chu Ruofu send her heart-fluttering text message to?
Would you vote for him?
The male guests' bedrooms are on the third floor, and the female guests' bedrooms are on the second floor.
Shen Wuyang opened the door and went downstairs.
Chu Ruofu rested in her room for a while, then got a little hungry and decided to go downstairs to find something to eat. As soon as she came out, she ran into Shen Wuyang, who was standing in the second-floor corridor.
Shen Wuyang was dressed in a black T-shirt and casual trousers, still looking as refreshing and youthful as ever, handsome and dashing.
Upon seeing her, Shen Wuyang's eyes lit up, and he strode towards her.
Chu Ruofu inexplicably thought of a cute, clingy puppy, especially affectionate, that would come running if you waved it over.
“Fufu.” Shen Wuyang looked at her expectantly.
Chu Ruofu was slightly taken aback. People around her would call her Xiaofu or Fufu, but it felt a little strange coming from Shen Wuyang's mouth.
"What's the matter?" Chu Ruofu asked.
The show did not stipulate that the guests could not ask each other who they were interested in sending text messages to.
Shen Wuyang glanced at the camera and said, "I want to talk to you."
Chu Ruofu sensed his anxious emotions, and her eyes were filled with a thick, dark undercurrent, so much so that she dared not look into his eyes.
A strange feeling of palpitation instantly gripped her.
"...What should we talk about?" Chu Ruofu asked softly.
Footsteps came from the stairs.
Someone is coming downstairs.
Shen Wuyang pulled her to a secluded corner of the corridor.
Chu Ruofu withdrew her hand, looking at him in confusion. They hadn't done anything, so why did they have to hide away to talk?
“I sent you the text message that made my heart flutter,” Shen Wuyang said.
"..."
Chu Ruofu realized something was wrong; Shen Wuyang had inexplicably become attached to her.
Shen Wuyang stared at her with his dark eyes and asked, "Who did you vote for?"
