Jian Zhizhen immediately went to open the door. Before she could even see who it was, Luo Xiaoqiang rushed in and hugged her, saying, "Zhenzhen, I missed you so much."
After hugging her, he turned around and greeted Xu Qiuyuan: "Hi, Sister Qiuyuan."
Xu Qiuyuan smiled and nodded, inviting her to "sit down."
After Luo Xiaoqiang sat down, Jian Zhizhen took out his favorite snacks and offered them to her: "Eat. These are chestnut pastries made by my mother."
Luo Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up, and she excitedly took it: "Ahhh, I can actually eat desserts made by a national hero!"
Such straightforwardness and honesty are such a positive feedback that it makes people happy. Jian Zhizhen is also in a great mood and has no intention of looking for Qin Yubai.
Tonight belongs to the three of them!
The three then sat down and chatted while eating.
They started by chatting about everyday things, and with a cheerful girl like Luo Xiaoqiang around, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Later, we inevitably started talking about the guests on the show.
Luo Xiaoqiang sighed softly as she thought about the purpose of her trip: "I came to participate in the dating reality show for two reasons: first, to make friends with you all, and second, I genuinely want to find a boyfriend. But the only guy I'm somewhat interested in is so cold to me; he hasn't spoken to me at all."
Chien Chih-chen recalled Leng Ao's performance tonight and found it very strange: "I heard that none of his fans have ever seen his real face, and he never showed any emotion during the game. Could he be a new type of bionic AI robot?"
Luo Xiaoqiang burst into laughter: "You're so funny... Zhenzhen, you're hilarious! Hey, do you think Leng Ao would laugh if he heard Zhenzhen say that about him?"
Xu Qiuyuan shook his head: "I don't know, but I think it's a good idea. You can find an opportunity to tell him a few jokes to make him laugh and see if he laughs."
Luo Xiaoqiang thought it made sense and immediately asked, "Then tell me some of your family's jokes, and I'll try to find a chance to do so later."
Xu Qiuyuan and Jian Zhizhen immediately told her several jokes.
As he was talking, Xu Qiuyuan suddenly looked down at his wrist and then looked at Luo Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, Leng Ao's roommate said that Leng Ao went downstairs to get a drink of water. This is a good opportunity. Go and tell him a joke."
Luo Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up from her chair: "I'll go try it right away."
He left immediately after saying that.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jian Zhizhen decided to take a shower and go to bed.
As she turned to take her pajamas from the box, she suddenly remembered something and looked back at Xu Qiuyuan behind her: "Sister Qiuyuan, why is Li Ze still chatting with you so late?"
Xu Qiuyuan smiled and said, "I asked specifically for Luo Xiaoqiang, it wasn't something he told me on his own initiative."
Jian Zhizhen smiled slightly, her face full of disbelief.
Xu Qiuyuan said helplessly, "Don't overthink it, sister. I'm such a pitiful girl who got scammed by a man who was about to get married right after I debuted. I've long since given up on love. My goal is to make more money on this show."
Jian Zhizhen nodded. Whether or not a woman loves someone is her choice, not a necessity.
Since Xu Qiuyuan didn't want to think about or talk about it, she didn't say anything more.
...
downstairs.
Luo Xiaoqiang ran to the kitchen and, sure enough, saw Leng Ao waiting for hot water.
He was still wearing that hoodie, still with his head down, so his face was not visible.
Luo Xiaoqiang walked up behind him and greeted him casually, "Hi, come get some water."
"Hmm," Leng Ao replied with utter arrogance.
Luo Xiaoqiang knew that she wouldn't get a response from him by being polite, so she simply stopped being polite and said directly, "I have a few family jokes that I've passed down through generations. Would you like to hear them?"
"..." Leng Ao remained silent.
Luo Xiaoqiang walked to his side and began directly: "When a father named his son Wu Bei, a nurse made a mistake and omitted a stroke. Ten years later, it shocked the world. Can you guess which stroke it was?"
He remained aloof and silent.
"Yes...yes..." Luo Xiaoqiang started laughing before she could finish speaking. She laughed for a while before saying, "It's the vertical stroke of the character 'ε' (Bei), so his name becomes 'ε΄δΊε' (Wu Erbi) hahahaha..."
Leng Ao: "..." Silence.
Luo Xiaoqiang remembered several others. Seeing that he didn't smile, she added, "During the New Year, when your relative's child comes to your house for dumplings, you kindly offer them vinegar and ask, 'Would you like some for dipping?'"
He suddenly stood up and sang: "Fight! With the humblest of dreams, I pay tribute to the sobs and roars in the darkness... Hahahaha..."
Luo Xiaoqiang laughed as she patted Leng Ao's shoulder: "Isn't it funny? Don't you understand? Although it's a very, very old song, it's one of the most popular theme songs for the game you play. You don't know that, do you?"
"..." Leng Ao did not react at all.
Just then, the water boiled. Leng Ao silently picked up his cup, poured himself a glass of water, and then turned and left without a word.
Luo Xiaoqiang's smile gradually froze, and she stood there awkwardly.
Even viewers watching from behind a screen could sense her predicament:
[Huo Suishan Lu Fang: I'm laughing so hard! The joke wasn't very funny, but Luo Xiaoqiang laughed without even saying it, and it made me laugh too.]
[Qingqing: That older brother is so aloof! He didn't react at all. Sister Xiaoqiang must be feeling really bad.]
[Confident and extraordinary: Serves her right! This kind of shameless woman who throws herself at someone deserves it!]
[Nine Ruo Wuqing: Upstairs, are you still paying attention to your ex-girlfriend so late at night? You're being too petty. It was just a normal breakup. Luo Xiaoqiang didn't reveal your name or identity, she's saving you face. If you keep going like this, be careful you don't expose yourself, then you'll lose all your dignity.]
That person no longer bothered to hide their identity and directly admitted it:
