Chapter 20 How do you know it’s not a surprise?
After Sheng Yi finished speaking, everyone was shocked and asked in unison: "——What?"
"That's impossible."
Jiang Yicheng said, "Brother, you are kidding me."
With such a handsome face and being in a band, normally he would have dated ten women, which is not enough. But he is still single. Who would believe it if I told others about it?
Even Chu Ling didn't believe him. He turned to the system in shock and said, "These days, there are still people who set up this kind of persona. Won't it be easy to backfire? I feel like within two days, either his ex-girlfriend will come out and expose him as a liar or netizens will expose him as a liar. It's not worth it!"
system:"……"
System: "Then you also..."
"I'm different."
Chu Ling said confidently, "I am hated and disliked by everyone, but he is not."
It would be strange for someone in this world to fall in love with her.
Not to mention being a single mother, she feels like she can remain single until she dies.
Lin Zirun and Sheng Yi joked, "Are you in a rock band? You've never been in a relationship. That doesn't sound like rock 'n' roll."
"Yeah?"
Sheng Yi chuckled and said casually, "I think the band's single sounds more rock 'n' roll."
Chu Ling was indeed curious and asked the system, "What is his setting? He dares to say such things. Isn't he afraid of a big repercussion in the future?"
The system actually looked it up for her and then said, "In the original novel, this is a supporting character who appears later in the story and competes with Qin Shuo, triggering a love triangle. However, his presence makes Qin Shuo feel threatened, which in turn intensifies his offensive and pushes the relationship between the hero and heroine forward. He also leaves regretfully after his confession fails in the final episode, and there's nothing else to go on."
Chu Ling suddenly realized: "So it turns out that the person he wanted to choose just now was also Wen Shu."
He had watched the show before, and there must be female guests he liked.
If it was Wen Shu, then it would be understandable why he was arguing with Qin Shuo. After all, the more determined Qin Shuo was, the more certain he was that the person under the rabbit mask was Wen Shu.
Who knew that the person under the mask would be her.
Chu Ling was still skeptical about his mother's words, but if it was really true -
She thought about it, probably guessed the reason, and immediately looked at him with sympathy: "...It's okay, it's okay to have a hidden illness, you can still live a good life."
Sheng Yi was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled: "Do you want to see the physical examination report? Apart from staying up late, you are quite healthy."
While they were chatting, the chef had already brought them dinner.
In order to prepare the look, Chu Ling hadn't eaten anything the entire afternoon, and now he had been starving for quite some time.
It was a rare occasion that she didn't have to eat out for dinner or cook it herself, so she couldn't wait.
Unfortunately, the dining table today was long. From Chu Ling's perspective, many dishes were placed a little far away from her - the dishes in front of her were mainly vegetables and cold dishes. Perhaps the program team took into consideration that as a female star, she needed to maintain her figure and would not eat much.
...It's a pity that she was born with a physique that makes it difficult to gain weight. It was really a case of good intentions leading to bad results.
Sheng Yi caught a glimpse of her eager eyes, and then thought it was inconvenient for him to just stand up and pick up what he wanted to eat. He leaned over a little and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
Chu Ling was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's all fine. I don't have any dietary restrictions."
Sheng Yi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Don't female celebrities have any dietary restrictions?"
Chu Ling raised his chin and asked, "Is there a lead singer?"
Sheng Yi really nodded: "Yes."
Just then, the chef walked up to him and was about to pour wine into his goblet.
"No thanks."
Sheng Yi said, "I don't drink."
After he said this, everyone else was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You don't know how to drink?"
Sheng Yi nodded and said, "I never drink."
"No way."
Lin Zirun smiled and advised, "Today is a perfect occasion for a drink. It's your first day here, so why not have a couple of sips and celebrate?"
"And I just tasted it, and the wine is pretty good."
Jiang Yicheng himself owns a pub and knows a bit about alcohol. He also said, "The alcohol content isn't high. You won't get drunk after drinking two glasses."
Sheng Yi, however, had already blocked the brim of his glass, a smile still on his face, but what he said was unexpectedly harsh: "Sorry, I'm new here so I don't know the rules very well. Is drinking a necessary rite of passage? If I don't drink, will I be asked to leave the show?"
Apart from Chu Ling, few people usually speak so aggressively.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly turned cold.
[Wow, the fifth male character is a bit aggressive, making everyone feel awkward.]
[But it's normal that he doesn't want to drink. He's a singer, so of course he needs to protect his voice.]
“There is no such rule.”
Qin Shuo spoke, staring at him and said, "But usually no one would spoil the fun."
He didn't have a good impression of Sheng Yi. Thinking about how he had just snatched Wen Shu from him - although he later found out that he had snatched the wrong person, he still felt inexplicably wary of the young man in front of him.
Among all the people present, he should be the one closest in age to Wen Shu.
Although he didn't know whether Wen Shu would like this kind of thing, it didn't stop him from giving the young man a warning first.
Here, he has the highest status, is the oldest, and has the most fans, so generally no one dares to offend him.
He stared at Sheng Yi, wondering what he would do.
[Wow, I can vaguely sense some undercurrents of conflict brewing at the dinner table.]
[That's right. The fact that Man 5 just snatched the person from him must have made him feel unhappy.]
[…It was just one segment, and the fifth male lead didn't even end up dancing with Wen Shu. Isn't that a bit stingy?]
[This proves Qin Shuo's possessiveness! A bite of Qin Wen, this is the jealousy of the movie star!]
"--Hello."
In the tense atmosphere, Chu Ling suddenly reached out and called to the chef, "Do we have any cefuroxime on the cruise ship?"
chef:"……"
The chef hesitated and said, "I'm really not sure about this. Maybe I need to ask."
"If you have any, could you please give this gentleman one?"
Chu Ling pointed at Sheng Yi beside him.
【？ ？ ？ ？】
[Wait, what is Chu Ling going to do!? ]
[You drank the cephalexin and alcohol and then left. Are you trying to get rid of him?!]
Sheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "How big is the grudge?"
"Yes, what a huge grudge."
Chu Ling just looked at Qin Shuo across from him and laughed rhetorically, "After all, he said he didn't want to drink anymore, and if he still doesn't believe me, then I can only do something to make them believe me."
After all, if he really took cefuroxime, no one present would dare to persuade him to drink - that would be fatal.
"Everyone says it's hot right now, but I never thought drinking culture would even reach the dating variety show. Since Mr. Qin thinks not drinking would spoil the fun, after he finishes taking the cephalexin, you can continue to persuade him to drink if you want. It's fun."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yi also put the cup aside and said jokingly, "Is it okay, Teacher Qin? But this place is far from the hospital, so I'd better not challenge it casually. I cherish my life."
"But if you want to liven up the atmosphere, Teacher Qin can have a couple of more drinks."
Chu Ling reached out again and said to the chef, "Come on, fill up Teacher Qin's bottle as a toast to the newcomer."
Qin Shuo: “…”
Most people wouldn't be so disappointed, and now there are two of them.
I used to be annoyed by Chu Ling’s sarcasm, but I didn’t expect that there would be someone who could talk to her now.
"...It's just a joke, don't be so embarrassed."
Qin Shuo had no choice but to smooth things over for himself, "Look, this cup of mine is yours. Welcome to join us."
"If this is a joke."
Chu Ling threw him off the path he wanted to take, "Teacher Qin has quite a lack of humor."
Qin Shuo: “…”
Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Yicheng said to save the situation: "Let's eat. If you want to drink, drink. If you don't want to drink, don't drink. It's just a small matter."
This page was temporarily turned over.
Then, Sheng Yi paid attention to Chu Ling's gaze and brought the dish that she wanted to eat but couldn't reach and placed it in front of her.
"Thank you."
He whispered to Chu Ling.
"Thank you for what?"
Chu Ling asked him back, "Don't you think I'm going to harm you?"
Sheng Yi looked at her and smiled: "I'm not that stupid."
After all, she wasn't the one who really wanted to harm him.
Chu Ling didn't do this specifically to help Sheng Yi. He just happened to get the chance to scold the movie emperor and make some fan money - but it was from other people's fans.
Today’s dishes taste pretty good, Chu Ling thought to himself as he ate.
If Lu Shixuan were present, he would probably comment on whether the dish was authentic and where he had eaten better dishes. He would be so noisy.
Fortunately he left.
Chu Ling thought silently.
This new male guest...at least he's more pleasing to the eye.
—
After dinner, the eight of them chatted briefly before returning to their rooms.
Sheng Yi is new to the place and his personality is not very likable.
Chu Ling was a little worried that he would take away his negative reviews, so he went online to check.
Fortunately, fortunately, there are still more people scolding her.
When she and Sheng Yi do the same thing, the results are completely different.
When it comes to attracting bad guys, Sheng Yi still can't beat her.
Chu Ling didn't know what he was satisfied with, but he was in a good mood. Then he went to the next room to find Wen Shu.
After entering and confirming that the cameras were turned off, Chu Ling said, "Your inference is correct. The production team must have leaked the news to Qin Shuo."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sure. Maybe if he had observed more, he wouldn't have made the wrong choice.
Fortunately, the two of them exchanged this time, otherwise Wen Shu might not be able to eat the whole dinner properly.
"Do you really think so?"
When Qin Shuo chose Chu Ling, Wen Shu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad that his guess was confirmed.
She just thought that maybe it could be a coincidence. Even now, when she said this to Chu Ling, her tone was still a little uncertain. "Don't you think I'm narcissistic? I actually thought that an actor would go to the production team to do such a thing just to date me——"
Chu Ling was speechless. He flicked her head and scolded her, "Dear, could you please not be so humble?"
"I see, it was clearly him who broke the rules first to set you up, but he doesn't feel guilty, and you do. With your personality, won't you be bullied to death?"
Wen Shu: “…”
"But at least now we know, and it can be considered a warning. Next time we have a date... we will find a way."
Chu Ling glanced at the time and said, "Ah, time to send a text message."
"The good news is that you finally don't have to send it to Qin Shuo today."
Wen Shu nodded. God knew how depressed she felt when she had to text Qin Shuo because she was on a date with him.
According to the rules, Chu Ling should also give it to the newcomer Sheng Yi.
Just now, she had said a few words to Sheng Yi during the dinner, and even deliberately made malicious speculations in front of him about whether the other person's mother had a hidden illness. However, when she saw Sheng Yi backstage, she still didn't show any negative emotions.
Unlike Wen Shu - Wen Shu didn't contribute any negative emotions to her, but she had a really good temper, and the rare negative emotions she had were probably contributed to Qin Shuo.
But judging from Sheng Yi's attitude when he just refused to drink, he is not a smooth-talking person, and should be quite impulsive.
Chu Ling racked his brains to edit the text message, tested the minefield, and finally sent one.
[You lied in front of the camera, didn't you? You must be disappointed that I was chosen instead of Wen Shu, right?]
——I must have felt embarrassed the moment my secret was exposed.
After sending it, she checked the text messages she had received.
——【I really received a cephalosporin, I learned a lesson, next time I will have a fixed shield. PS, thank you for not stepping on my foot today, saving my shoes.】
Quite polite.
I wonder how he will react when he sees that text message from me.
Chu Ling unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth and asked the system: "How is it? Did you receive the money?"
System: “…No, no?”
Chu Ling: “?”
No reaction to this?
What she didn't expect was that she received another reply letter not long after.
This was the first time she had received a reply from a male guest in such a long time.
——【How do you know it’s not a surprise? 】
…
In the cruise ship room on the other side.
After sending the text message, Sheng Yi recalled his feelings at that moment.
The moment the mask was taken off, the answer he gave was different from what the program team told him. Instead, he revealed a beautiful face that was so bright that it was eye-catching.
At that moment, I was stunned, confused, and dazed, and it seemed like a missed heartbeat.
The program team would definitely not lie to him, and Qin Shuo also made the wrong choice, proving that they got the same spoiler.
But the results are different.
Disappointed?
Sheng Yi thought, he is not Qin Shuo, he doesn’t like Wen Shu, he is just following the script, why should he be disappointed.
Rather than disappointment or surprise, he was more curious.
I’m curious why the answer is wrong, and I’m curious why Chu Ling wants to change his mask.
I'm curious about this female celebrity who has such a bad reputation in the eyes of the outside world, why after getting to know her... he doesn't think she's that bad.
