Time-space airport.
All eight guests and one director have returned safely.
The "parents" of each family were already waiting outside, ready to pick up their own artists.
The agents of Zhai Qinghe and Li Nanyan both had somber faces, and dared to pick them up secretly, afraid of being laughed at.
Xie Anxia and Li Ze's assistants were busy getting their artists into the car. The assistants didn't dare say anything to their artists, and the two of them were oblivious to what was happening.
Zhou Sui was picked up by an editor from the publishing company. He was all smiles when he was there, but his face fell the moment he got into the car.
Xu Qiuyuan was not picked up, so he took a taxi and left.
Qin Yubai's driver was already waiting outside.
He wasn't in a hurry to go home. He carried Jian Zhizhen's bag on his back and walked slowly out with Jian Zhizhen.
"The next episode seems to be in a month," Qin Yubai casually remarked.
Jian Zhizhen responded calmly, "Mm."
Qin Yubai looked down at her: "Where have you been staying all this time?"
Jian Zhizhen: "Going back to school, it just so happens that my final exams are coming up soon."
Qin Yubai remained silent, wondering whether he should contact a professor at her school to act as an examiner.
But then I realized I couldn't stay at school every day. I'd already graduated, and I could only see her during exams at most.
Otherwise, why not ask her if she'd like to stay at his house? He could tutor her.
No, that won't work either... She's no longer the child who used to chase after him asking about his homework; she's much more capable now.
Qin Yubai walked to the exit, still conflicted.
Zhong Yi suddenly jumped out from the side, hugged Jian Zhizhen tightly, and shouted excitedly, "My baby! You're finally back! Auntie missed you so much! Come back to the company with me, I made lots of delicious food, I'll throw you a celebration feast!"
“Okay…” Jian Zhizhen hesitated before replying to Zhong Yi, his eyes involuntarily turning to Qin Yubai.
Qin Yubai was also looking at her.
Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were glued together, unable to look apart.
Zhong Yi noticed that Jian Zhizhen was not as enthusiastic towards her as before.
Upon closer observation, it became clear that her mind was entirely focused on Qin Yubai.
She patted Jian Zhizhen's shoulder with a smile and said to Qin Yubai, "Oh, you're back now. Are you worried about not having time to see each other anymore?"
After saying that, she lowered her head and whispered to Jian Zhizhen, "Have you forgotten? There are requirements for dating reality shows. Guests can't actually confirm their relationship before the end of the four episodes, otherwise they'll have to pay compensation and quit the show. Be good, come back to the company with me first. I have something important to discuss with you."
Jian Zhizhen had finally managed to get close to Lin Yi, and she didn't want to quit the show now.
She had no choice but to look away and quietly replied, "Bai Bai and I are not a couple."
Qin Yubai's brow twitched, and he stopped in his tracks instantly, watching helplessly as Jian Zhizhen was pulled into the car by Zhong Yi, and the car quickly disappeared from sight.
After a long while, he looked dejected and returned to his car.
Old Wang, the Qin family's driver, saw his composed expression in the rearview mirror and asked with a smile, "Young Master, are you sad?"
Qin Yubai looked out the window and said calmly, "Don't call me Young Master, it's a remnant of feudalism."
Old Wang: "This old servant has remembered."
Qin Yubai: "..."
The driver drove to the Qin family's house, and the atmosphere in the car was silent the whole way.
As a long-time employee of the Qin family for twenty years, Lao Wang knew everything about Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen.
He knew why Qin Yubai was unhappy, so he comforted him, "Young Master, you don't need to be sad. Although Miss Jian's feelings for you are still unclear, she doesn't seem to care about the other male guests either. I can tell that it's all an act."
Qin Yubai laughed self-deprecatingly: "What's there to be sad about? We're really nothing to each other now."
But that doesn't mean it won't be the case in the future.
I need to find a way to ascertain her feelings.
Suddenly, Qin Yubai realized something and looked up at Lao Wang through the rearview mirror.
"The show hasn't been edited yet, how do you know what happened to us on the show?"
Old Wang, with an excited look on his face, said, "Young Master, you don't know yet, do you? The live stream hasn't stopped! The whole country is watching your live stream, your public image has completely collapsed!"
Everyone in the country knows that Miss Jian is a fake simp, but you are a real simp!
"..." Qin Yubai quickly went online to check.
really!
Their live stream never stopped!
And it has been dominating the trending topics for the past few days!
Open any social media platform, and the top posts are all about them.
His fingers trembled slightly as he scrolled through the news, and he nervously asked the driver, "In my program... I didn't... show Zhenzhen anything particularly obvious, did I?"
Old Wang said happily, "You practically have the words 'secret crush' written all over your forehead!"
...
Meanwhile, the other guests also learned that the live stream had continued uninterrupted.
Exclamations of surprise came from the eight different cars.
Chien Chih-chen huddled in the car, trembling: "So the whole audience knows about my search for my brother?"
Zhong Yi calmly replied, "Yes, right now the whole internet is guessing which of the four male guests and the director is your brother, and some people have even created a new show through fan art."
"Call it 'Where's My Brother?'"
...
Inside the Zhou and Sui chariots.
After reading the online discussions about him, Zhou Sui asked worriedly, "Has my alternate account for writing CEO romance novels been exposed yet?"
The editor looked aggrieved: "Hmph, the company treats you so well, and you actually went to another company to work under a different name without my knowledge! Tell me, do you earn more elsewhere or under me?"
