Chapter 21 Guess Who Wasn't Invited.
Before going to bed that day, the program team gave each guest a new task.
——【There are many romantic places waiting to be discovered on the cruise ship. Invite the people you want to meet and explore together.】
Chu Ling had no interest in this task and decided to just do it perfunctorily tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, before dawn, there was a knock on her door.
Chu Ling buried his head in his pillow at first, but when the knocking on the door continued for a long time, he finally got up and opened the door. "Who is it?"
Lin Zirun, already dressed, stood outside the door, smiling. "Chu Ling, good morning. Would you like to watch the sunrise over the sea together?"
Chu Ling, who was so sleepy that his head was dizzy, asked: "?"
Are you afraid you are sick?
Last time, Chu Ling thought that she had confronted Lin Zirun so much that he had given up.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zirun witnessed Lu Shixuan's collapse and withdrawal. After thinking about it, he decided to hold on to Chu Ling.
On the one hand, he had to maintain his affectionate personality and never change his heart from beginning to end. On the other hand, he couldn't really put the blame on himself that Chu Ling had put on him before.
He had to work hard to repair his impression in Chu Ling's mind, lest netizens were misled by her so-called scumbag identification and really labeled him as a scumbag.
"During the time I quit my job and traveled, I saw many sunrises: from the mountains, the plains, and the city, but I never had the chance to see one over the sea."
"I've always wanted to witness it with my own eyes. Watching the first rays of sunlight pierce through the darkness and shimmer on the sea must be so romantic."
Lin Zirun said to her affectionately, "Do you know that movie? 'Before Sunrise'? I think it perfectly describes the feeling we had watching the sunrise together—"
Chu Ling glanced at the time on his wristband, his eyelids drooping as he said unhappily, "If you call me now, you'll only be hated at 4:30 in the morning."
She yawned and said, "Need I remind you that the camera isn't on at this hour?"
Lin Zirun: “…”
Oops, forgot about that.
He quickly brainstormed and then said, "It's okay, we can call the cameraman. I believe he won't want to miss such a magnificent view of the sunrise over the sea-"
"Then you give them a raise?"
Chu Ling asked.
Lin Zirun choked.
Chu Ling snorted and laughed.
He wants to establish a persona for himself and exploits the workers.
Who will get up at this time to take pictures for you?
"If you want to be crazy or romantic, do it by yourself, don't drag others along."
She was about to close the door, but was stopped by Lin Zirun again.
"etc."
Lin Zirun said, "If possible, would you be willing to go with me to watch the sunset—"
"it is a pity."
Chu Ling said expressionlessly, "You only have one chance, and you've already used it up."
After she finished speaking, regardless of Lin Zirun's expression, she closed the door directly and went back to bed to catch up on her sleep.
When I finally woke up again, it was already past eight o'clock.
The phone calls urging him to follow the filming had already started ringing. After hanging up three of them, Chu Ling got up reluctantly, washed up and dressed, and went to the cruise ship's buffet restaurant for breakfast. While eating breakfast, he was thinking about which unlucky guy he should choose to do the task.
Wen Shu came over with his breakfast tray and sat down next to her.
"Good morning."
She asked Chu Ling cautiously, "Have you decided who to invite for today's mission?"
This is a rare task that requires a girl to take the initiative. She doesn't have anyone who wants to take the initiative, which is a headache for her.
"Hmm."
Chu Ling took a sip of milk and said, "Still thinking."
She has no interest in dating the male guests.
If you have to choose, pick the one with the best value for money.
Wen Shu: "Me too—"
Before she could finish her words, Qin Shuo came over with a breakfast tray and sat down opposite them.
Wen Shu was startled for a moment.
The barrage was extremely exciting.
【Ahhhhh my Qin Wen CP is coming!!!】
[Even if I spend all my money to pressure Qin Shuo, he will definitely invite Wen Shu! ! ! ! ! !]
Wen Shu lowered his head and kept silent, subconsciously leaning towards Chu Ling.
"Wen Shu."
As expected, Qin Shuo only took two bites and then said, "You know there's an observation deck on the cruise ship deck with a great view. Looking down from above, you can not only see the entire cruise ship, but also the open ocean."
He looked at her, her head almost buried in the plate, and just smiled, "Are you interested in joining me?"
With Wen Shu's personality, she didn't dare to refuse.
Qin Shuo was very sure.
Sure enough, Wen Shu held the handle of the coffee cup, hesitating.
"——What a coincidence."
Chu Ling suddenly raised his eyes and said to Qin Shuo, "I noticed that place yesterday, so I invited Wen Shu to go with me."
Qin Shuo: “?”
Wen Shu was stunned for a moment, not reacting. Just as he was about to ask when Chu Ling said that, he said, "Anyway, they didn't say that you can't invite your good friends along, right?"
Backstage director: “…”
Whoever writes the rules, whoever!
How come Chu Ling found a new BUG card again!
CP fans in the barrage were furious.
[I'm convinced. Why on earth does Chu Ling always try to tear down our Qin Wen?]
[Is she really that jealous? Is she really that jealous? The movie star is in love with a pretty amateur. She must be pissed off to death!]
[Chunchun is sick, Wenshu baby, stop playing with her, she's doing this on purpose!!]
"Oh—yes."
Wen Shu replied, "I've already made an appointment with Chu Ling."
"Think about it carefully."
Qin Shuo said slowly, "Who do you want to go with?"
Wen Shu's hand holding the chopsticks was slightly stiff.
"No way, Teacher Qin."
Chu Ling showed a somewhat dissatisfied expression and said, "We have to follow the first-come, first-served principle when inviting people, right? It's fine if you're trying to poach my girlfriend, but why did you even order Wen Shu to stand me up? Isn't that bad?"
“…”
Qin Shuo had grown a little intimidated by Chu Ling's constant barbs over the past few days. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, are you free this afternoon? I saw a deck surfing experience that seemed quite interesting—"
"—but I don't think they really want to go with you."
Another voice interrupted.
Sheng Yi took the breakfast tray and sat down next to Qin Shuo and across from Chu Ling. He laughed and said, "Teacher Qin, are you going to continue asking boring questions?"
Qin Shuo: “…”
Qin Shuo suddenly felt a sense of crisis and retorted, "If she doesn't want to go with me, does she want to go with you?"
"Maybe."
Sheng Yi picked up the bread, looked at Wen Shu, and said politely, "Miss Wen Shu, if you have time later, would you be interested in coming to the small theater on the second floor of the cruise ship?"
He paused, then added, "If you feel it would be awkward to come alone, you're welcome to bring your friends."
【Wow, so exciting! 】
[Sure enough! I told you! The new male guest is here for Wen Shu! The Shura Field is here!]
[Older vs. younger, who will Wen Shu choose? Don’t let me down! ! ]
With a bit of a mentality of avoiding Qin Shuo, Wen Shu blinked and nodded: "Okay, I'll go if I'm free in the afternoon."
Qin Shuo: “?”
Qin Shuo was even more confused and frowned: "You can agree to him, why reject me?"
His tone was a bit harsh, and Wen Shu shu subconsciously shuddered.
The aftershocks of being frightened by him over the years are still there, and even after the divorce, she still has some PTSD.
"——Because some people never reflect on their own problems."
Chu Ling finished his last bite of breakfast, looked at Qin Shuo, and said, "You have such a strong desire for control, are you her father?"
Sheng Yi casually replied, "Even if it's my father, he can't control so many things."
Qin Shuo was already a little anxious because of the age difference, and after being attacked by the two together, he almost vomited blood.
Chu Ling was in a good mood and couldn't help but glance at Sheng Yi, and happened to meet his gaze.
He raised his eyebrows: "See you later?"
strangeness.
He clearly invited Wen Shu, but his tone seemed to indicate that Chu Ling would also come.
Chu Ling didn't respond or nod, he just picked up the breakfast tray and left with Wen Shu.
After the two left, Qin Shuo looked at Sheng Yi and said in a cold tone, "You like Wen Shu? It's only the first day."
How long had he lived with Wen Shu before?
It's impossible to snatch Wen Shu away from him.
"Yeah, it's only the first day, so don't be so hostile to me."
Sheng Yi didn't answer this question, but only said, "Teacher Qin, I know you're upset because you were rejected, but think about it, she can agree to Chu Ling, and she can also agree to me, guess who was not invited? Do you know whose problem it is?"
Qin Shuo: “???”
—
Deck observation deck.
The view here is indeed the best place on the entire ship, and it doesn’t feel too high to scare Wen Shu, who is afraid of heights.
Chu Ling looked at the sea, feeling the sea breeze and felt very comfortable.
She glanced at Wen Shu, who seemed a little absent-minded, and knew that she was still entangled in what had just happened. She laughed and said, "Still thinking about it?"
"If you don't want to do something, you can just refuse it. Do you still need me to teach you?"
Wenshu just has a very good temper.
He was so good that Qin Shuo could easily control him.
Wen Shu also had his own reasons for hesitation.
On the one hand, it was because she was too afraid of being scolded in front of the camera.
Qin Shuo has so many fans that it seems like she will be scolded whether she responds to Qin Shuo or not.
on the other hand……
Wen Shu hesitated for a moment, then whispered with difficulty, "I know this isn't right. But maybe it's because... my last relationship didn't give me a very good experience, and I probably haven't gotten over it yet, so I can't learn to say no, and it's hard for me to say no."
In the past, during their marriage, Qin Shuo always had the final say.
Even her own family members sided with Qin Shuo, believing that she had gotten a great deal by marrying him and that she had to listen to him in order to keep the marriage.
She endured this year after year, accepting a bunch of things she was actually unwilling to do.
She thought that after the divorce, she could get rid of Qin Shuo.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shuo's ghost haunted her.
She wanted to go out, but found his shadow everywhere.
And the shadow of not daring to refuse also affects her now.
Wen Shu actually revealed to her the scar that she didn't want to mention.
Chu Ling was stunned for a moment, then heard Wen Shu laugh self-deprecatingly. "Of course it has something to do with my personality. I think if it were you, you would be much more decisive than me."
However, the CP fans in the barrage felt that Wen Shu had stabbed them in the back.
So this is why she's hesitant?
[Why didn't you say it before? Now that a new male guest has arrived, she's starting to hesitate. Isn't she trying to have it both ways? She's trying to shift the blame to her previous relationship and play the victim.]
[I'm really heartbroken for being a fan of Qin Wen. Qin Shuo has been so good to you, can you please not let him down?]
【Speechless, what a waste of Qin Shuo's feelings.】
[If you don't like it, you should just say it directly. What are you doing? Why are you pretending to be a green tea? ]
Chu Ling was instantly unhappy when he heard the barrage from the system.
Why scold Wen Shu?
Come and scold her!
She was the one who broke up Qin Wen and instigated the relationship between the male and female protagonists. Why can't the fire be focused on her?
"I understand how you feel."
Chu Ling spoke, directly attracting the firepower, "But for someone like Qin Shuo, just refuse. There's nothing to worry about."
Wen Shu: “?”
Chu Ling said, "He's too controlling and has disrespected you more than once or twice. Just like just now, before we even confirmed our relationship, he started meddling in everything about you, practically treating you like his property. What would happen if we were together? Would you still be able to have your own life and your own ideas?"
She even added with a strong desire to die, "Anyway, I think judging by his attitude towards you, he's not a good match."
After cursing, Chu Ling felt refreshed and said to the system, "Look at the comments."
[…Congratulations to Qin Shuo for joining Chu Ling's list of candidates for scumbag.]
[It's over. Will the best actor be the next to fail?]
Chu Ling: “?”
