Xie Anxia quickly assigned rooms in a few swift movements:
Zhou Sui and Jian Zhizhen, Li Ze and Xu Qiuyuan, Li Nanyan and Zhai Qinghe, and herself and Qin Yubai.
After handing the tablet back to the director, she glanced up shyly at Qin Yubai before quickly looking away.
She had initially only admired Qin Yubai for his looks, but after witnessing how calmly he taught her how to repair equipment (ignoring that most of the instruction came from Jian Zhizhen) and how rationally he analyzed the speculations behind the counter, she couldn't help but develop feelings for him.
She didn't have any specific goals in this dating reality show.
But now she has it.
After seeing the room assignment results, Lin Yi glanced at Qin Yubai with guilt.
However, the results were still released.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had she finished speaking than Qin Yubai's cold, detached voice came from the side: "I refuse to be in the same room with her."
Xie Anxia stared wide-eyed at Qin Yubai in disbelief: "These are the rules of the show! How could you refuse?"
This dating reality show has been running for many years, and there have been instances in the past where male and female guests disliked each other, but they always followed the rules once they were assigned to the same room.
On several occasions, two people who disliked each other spent a night together, and their relationship improved, eventually leading to them holding hands and getting together.
Qin Yubai merely glanced at her indifferently, as if asking:
Don't you know why I refused?
Xie Anxia's face turned pale and then flushed as she thought about what she had done that day.
The other guests all looked at her curiously.
They genuinely had no idea what had happened today.
"You can't refuse to follow the rules! You..."
Xie Anxia, her mind in a daze, still clung to the object, then glared at Jian Zhizhen and questioned Qin Yubai:
"Is it because of Jian Zhizhen? You two are clearly a couple in private!"
All the guests turned to look at Jian Zhizhen.
This show doesn't allow real couples to participate by hiding their identities; if they are found out, they will have to pay a lot of money in compensation.
Jian Zhizhen hurriedly waved her hand.
They weren't a couple, and they really aren't now.
Xie Anxia persisted, "You clearly are! You broke the rules!"
"Alright!" Lin Yi frowned and interrupted, "You broke the rules first!"
He didn't want to expose Xie Anxia's stupid deeds in front of so many people.
But Jian Zhizhen helped her a lot today, and she actually turned around and blamed him, which is really unacceptable.
Many viewers had already lost patience and were just cursing Xie An for repaying kindness with enmity.
Now that Lin Yi has stepped forward, the comments section is finally less filled with insults:
[Director Lin, well done! You didn't let innocent people suffer just because you were filming a program. I admire you!]
[What should I do? I want to see the director participate in a dating reality show as a guest! I really like his personality.]
[Finally, someone has discovered the gem that is Director Lin! I'm so excited! He's just as good as the male guests here. You can check out his previous documentaries on his social media; he's truly dedicated, talented, and, most importantly, handsome!]
[Ahhh, no wonder they have Lin Ying-teng's genes! Director Lin and Yun Fei, these siblings, are truly the two top stars in the entertainment industry!]
Lin Yi said without any mercy, "All guests are prohibited from using unfair means to compete, which is also a rule of the program. But you deliberately sabotaged the invention that Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai sold yesterday, and you really have the nerve to accuse others?"
Lin Yi was really going all out.
They directly revealed Xie Anxia's actions in front of the guests.
The other guests had their own thoughts upon hearing this.
Jian Zhizhen was moved by Lin Yi's words and looked at him gratefully.
Qin Yubai, on the other hand, was focused on Jian Zhizhen.
Xu Qiuyuan, Li Ze, Zhou Sui, and Li Nanyan were all watching the play.
Only Zhai Qinghe was restless, after all, it was she who had suggested the idea.
She reached out and tugged at Xie Anxia's sleeve, whispering, "Never mind..."
Xie Anxia brushed her hand away. She was extremely aggrieved and couldn't even think of blaming Zhai Qinghe.
Tears streamed down her face as she glared at Lin Yi and the others: "You've ganged up on me! What kind of lousy show is this, making the guests work for you! You think I care? I don't care, send them back right now! I quit!"
Xie Anxia slammed his hand on the table and stood up to leave.
Zhai Qinghe quickly stood up and grabbed her hand: "Anxia, bear with it. No one can go back now. We can only record the program while waiting for rescue."
Upon hearing the word "recording," Xie Anxia's heart skipped a beat.
She then suddenly remembered that Lin Yi's camera had been standing next to her the whole time, still recording.
If she goes back one day and her current embarrassing state is edited into a program, how will she have the face to stay in the entertainment industry?
Xie Anxia immediately reached for the camera: "Stop recording! I'm telling you, I'll go back and have our company terminate the contract with the production team. You can forget about broadcasting my embarrassing moments!"
The live chat was immediately flooded with the sentence: "Your shameful behavior is already widely known, Miss Xie..."
Lin Yi took the camera first and turned it off.
"Okay, that's enough recording." He said expressionlessly, then looked at the others, "Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest for a while according to yesterday's room assignments. I'll think about the next arrangements."
Zhai Qinghe quickly pulled Xie Anxia away.
Seeing that there was no hope, the others quietly got up and went back to their rooms.
...
Jian Zhizhen followed behind Qin Yubai and Zhou Sui.
When they arrived at the door of the two boys' room, Jian Zhizhen looked at Zhou Sui and politely asked, "Brother Zhou Sui, may I speak with him alone for a couple of minutes?"
“Okay.” Zhou Sui let them go in, and then stood patiently at the door waiting.
Jian Zhizhen turned around and closed the door, calling out cautiously, "Bai Bai..."
Qin Yubai could guess that she wanted the show to continue.
He flatly refused: "You're not trying to persuade me to spend the night with her, are you? No way."
Jian Zhizhen quickly shook her head: "No, I want you to spend half an hour with her to help the director finish the recording. You don't need to spend the whole night with her."
Qin Yubai felt that it was unnecessary.
This show is in such a mess that all the guests' personas have collapsed, there's absolutely no chemistry between them, and they're all full of ulterior motives.
There's nothing to cut even if I go back and try to cut it, so I'll just leave it to rot.
Just as he was about to refuse, Jian Zhizhen grabbed his hand and gently shook it: "Please, bye-bye..."
He felt the long-lost warm and soft touch in his palm, and when he met her pitiful eyes, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to refuse.
When she was little, she would act like this when she asked him to help her with her homework, and she would act like this when she asked him to help her do bad things behind her parents' backs.
After hesitating for two seconds, Qin Yubai reluctantly conceded: "Alright, alright."
"Thank you, Bai Bai." Jian Zhizhen smiled happily. "I'll go tell Director Lin right now."
Qin Yubai suddenly called out to her, "Zhenzhen, are you sure Lin Yi is your brother?"
