Chapter 23 It’s not her fault, it’s mine.
Lin Zirun: “?”
No, I'm asking Chu Ling, what's your business?
Chu Ling hasn't spoken yet. Is it your turn to speak?
"Yes, an invitation at 4:30 in the morning."
Chu Ling wasn't going to let him carry on with this feeling of being wronged by his deep affection, so he directly asked, "Who do you think would be interested? A high school senior?"
"Oh, or maybe you haven't switched back to the time zone from your global travels yet, and you still think you're living in West 5th?"
Lin Zirun: “…”
Forget it, Chu Ling should stop talking.
After hearing this, Sheng Yi's smile widened. He looked at Lin Zirun as if he was a fool and said, "Brother, do you want to invite her to watch the sunrise and sunset, or invite her to see the brightest star in the night sky?"
[Woc, it's 4:30 in the morning. I'm practically living in Chu Ling's livestream room, so why haven't I seen this segment?]
"You're crazy! Even if you wanted to watch the sunrise, couldn't you at least invite me the day before?"
[It's been a while since I've seen the hipster male lead. Sure enough, he's still the one pretending to not care about other people's lives.]
[If it was any other female guest, they might have tolerated it... Luckily, it was Chu Ling who didn't give him any cold shoulder at all, hahahahahaha]
Lin Zirun looked a little embarrassed.
It would be fine if it was just Chu Ling who was arguing with him, that's just her personality.
Unexpectedly, this new guest actually agreed with Chu Ling in being arrogant to him, as if they were performing a duet.
He held back, choosing to retreat in order to advance. "Sorry, I admit that this was a spur-of-the-moment decision. When I woke up this morning and looked out the window at the vast night, the first thing that came to my mind was you. I thought it would be so romantic to watch the sunrise and sunset over the sea with you, so I invited you."
He spread his hands and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a bitch. That's just the way we bitch are. Just like when I decided to quit my job, people who didn't understand me thought I was crazy, but I know that if you want to do something, you have to do it right away. If you miss it, it's gone. I thought we were on the same page—"
Chu Ling: "P people?"
"MBTI."
Lin Zirun knew Chu Ling didn't understand, and said with a subtle condescending look, "Oh, you haven't taken the test, right? This is a personality test—"
"I know."
Chu Ling interrupted him, but then smiled and said, "But personality shouldn't be used as an excuse to excuse your own problems, right?"
Of course you can improvise and do whatever you want.
But knocking on the door of a female guest you don’t know well to wake her up at 4:30 in the morning, isn’t that crazy?
"For the sake of your desired romance, you disturb others and even cause trouble to them. This is not P people, this should be J——"
Chu Ling deliberately swallowed two words and said with a smile, "People.
[J people? Why do you say J people?]
[Didn’t you understand? Chu Ling means bitch, hahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[I manually censored the curse words to avoid them being too sweary. How can it be so funny?]
[Don't represent us, we wouldn't harass someone we don't know at 4:30 in the morning... Isn't that just plain rude?]
[But isn't it even more rude for Chu Ling to curse people directly like this? ]
"So what? Chu Ling was a good person because she didn't throw you into the sea back then, given her bad temper. What's wrong with a few scoldings? It's not like you were the one being woken up at 4:30 in the morning."
[But I'm happy. I hate people who use MBTI to create excuses for themselves.]
Lin Zirun didn't react at first.
It was not until Sheng Yi came forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said two words in his ear as if to explain that he understood. His face became even darker than before, and he hurried away without even looking at the sunset.
Sheng Yi looked at his back and laughed: "He seems very sad."
"Think I'm going too far?"
Chu Ling hugged his shoulders and chuckled, "It's not fair for you to explain it to him. Sometimes ignorance can be bliss."
Sheng Yi looked a little innocent: "Then we have to distinguish between the main culprit and the accomplice, right?"
Chu Ling: “…”
It's as if they committed the crime together.
She clearly thinks she is very chivalrous.
"I haven't even mentioned that he stole my line earlier!"
Chu Ling complained to the system, "Did he see that my character is good and wanted to copy it?"
System: "...Are you sure there's anything good about your character that's worth imitating?"
Chu Ling thought about it and said, "That's right."
Normal people wouldn't use this kind of crazy money-making system.
She changed her mind and said, "No, he's the worse one. I'm doing this for money, and he's just being mean."
system:"……"
What can you say about a talented player like you?
When there was no binding system, did you offend people less?
In the blink of an eye, the sun had fallen into the sea.
The afterglow of the setting sun faded away and the sky suddenly darkened.
"Let's go."
Sheng Yi laughed and said to her, "Dreams can't be eaten, so you have to go back and eat some real food."
—
Tonight's dinner is their last meal on the cruise.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the guests couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"The last meal looks particularly sumptuous."
Jiang Yicheng asked, "There are so many seafood. Is this a special treat given to us by the production team?"
“—I had it prepared.”
Qin Shuo said calmly, "I happened to have some free time this afternoon. I heard that the seafood here is good, so I went to talk to the chef and decided to have a seafood feast tonight. I've prepared a few more dishes here, and I hope they'll suit everyone's taste."
[Oh my god, Qin Shuo is cooking again! He is so nice! ! ]
[Poor Teacher Qin, who didn't get a date, is just working silently in the kitchen.]
“…”
All the guests present couldn't help but recall the fear they felt when they were hurt by his beef stew.
Dinner tonight was a seafood feast, and one of the main courses was king crab.
Although king crabs have delicious meat, their shells are very difficult to peel. Even though the program team provided tools, most guests still faced difficulties in peeling the shells.
Wen Shu was not very good at cutting king crabs. He used scissors to pry them apart for a long time and finally managed to remove some meat, but the meat was cut into sparse pieces.
Qin Shuo was waiting for this to happen. He rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to say to Wen Shu, "Do you need my help?"
Wen Shu was silent.
What Chu Ling said to her today obviously had some effect on her.
She shook her head, and said, "I have my own hands."
Qin Shuo: “…”
It was just peeling a shell, but he didn't expect Wen Shu to refuse even that.
He didn't give up and continued, "Judging from your appearance, you've probably never eaten king crab before. Let me do it. Newbies who eat king crab for the first time will encounter this problem. Just leave it to me."
According to the barrage, the Qin-Wen CP fans who had withered for a day were instantly revived.
[So sweet! ]
Teacher Qin is so considerate!
【I also want a boyfriend like this!!】
If you are so thoughtful, I should ask the chef to take care of it this afternoon.
Isn't the reason for staying until now to establish a persona in front of the camera?
So you're waiting here.
Chu Ling rolled his eyes inwardly, then said the next second, "There are others here who haven't eaten it either. If Teacher Qin knows so much, could you peel ours too?"
She crossed her arms, resting them on her chin, and with a smile, she complimented him. "Anyway, I think Teacher Qin is quite helpful."
Qin Shuo: “…”
"Including me, I have never eaten it."
Sheng Yi was battling wits and courage with the king crab legs. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Teacher Qin, who is so knowledgeable, can you also take care of us newcomers?"
With the two of them taking the lead, the remaining guests also looked at Qin Shuo.
Qin Shuo: “…”
Chu Ling was already annoying enough, and now there was Sheng Yi as well. The two of them took one side of him and managed to hold him up.
But he had to maintain his gentlemanly image and couldn't lose his temper.
Qin Shuo had no choice but to give up peeling the shells for Wen Shu alone and said, "Okay, then I'll show you guys how to do it, and then you'll be able to do it."
He kept his composure and demonstrated it in front of everyone. Then he silently placed the crab meat in front of Wen Shu.
Wen Shu didn't even answer it, but turned his head and asked Chu Ling: "I'm almost full, do you want some?"
Of course Chu Ling didn't want to refuse it in vain: "Thank you, I know Wen Shu treats me the best."
Qin Shuo: “…”
These three people took turns to make him angry, right?
—
That night, after the cruise ended, the ship docked and the guests returned to their cabins to rest.
After Lu Shixuan left the show, the single room he vacated was naturally given to Sheng Yi who came in to replace him.
Sheng Yi had just moved in and had chosen not to turn on the cameras in the room for the time being.
There was no signal on the boat, and we were finally able to get in touch after getting off. He first made a video call.
The call was quickly answered, and three boys of the same age as Sheng Yi were crowded on the screen.
Sheng Yi leaned against the bed, relaxed completely, and asked casually, "How is it?"
The other side was noisy, "We should be the ones asking you this question—how was it? How was your experience on your first dating show?"
Opposite him were three friends from his band: a bassist, a keyboardist, and a drummer.
"I can't really say it's an experience, after all, I'm here to complete the mission."
Sheng Yi asked, "What do you think of my performance?"
The three people on the opposite side said almost in unison: "No!"
The bassist coldly criticized, "I know you're trying hard to promote our work, but isn't your promotion a bit too obvious? It's as awkward as a sudden commercial break. Do you think anyone would buy it?"
The keyboard player spoke quickly, "Also, hey, you're not very good at dating? You're obviously competing with Qin Shuo for the fourth female guest, so why haven't I noticed any sparks or sparks yet? Without CP fans, you won't be popular, and without popularity, you won't be famous, you know!"
The bassist rolled his eyes. "Come on, don't you think about this? If he knew how to fall in love, would he still be single?"
"Oh, yes."
The keyboard player sighed, "You've been so busy talking nonsense that you've forgotten about love, huh? With your personality, it seems like you'll be kicked out of the dating show soon."
"--Hello!"
Sheng Yi said unhappily, "I am participating in this show for our entire band. Can you guys please look forward to seeing me in the best light?"
The keyboard player chuckled wickedly and said, "It can't be helped. The character the show gave you doesn't match you at all. I think it's only a matter of time before you're discovered."
The program team originally positioned Sheng Yi as a happy puppy who bravely fights for love.
But in fact, only he and his friends knew that Sheng Yi was not such a person at all.
He is not sunny at all. He is in a cold mood most of the time and doesn't care about things that have nothing to do with him. Occasionally, he will reveal his mean-spirited nature. Anyone who is deceived by his youthful and handsome appearance will easily be made to cry by him after they really get to know him.
The members of the band all have similar personalities, so it has become a habit for them to bicker with each other every day, and no one takes it to heart.
"By the way, do you want to stay away from that female star?"
The relatively stable drummer pondered for a moment, then said, "I saw online that she has a death list, and anyone she's criticized is on the verge of collapse."
Sheng Yi said indifferently: "I don't have any black material."
"Yeah?"
"But you didn't go on the dating show just to be in a relationship. What if she finds out? Do you think she'll let you go?"
She joked today, asking if Sheng Yi was on the show to promote his music - and it turned out to be true.
Although the comments were all laughed off, some of them almost broke out in cold sweats when they watched it.
With her insight, it is not impossible for her to discover that Sheng Yi's participation in the dating variety show was essentially to make his own Huhu band popular by his own efforts, and then to retaliate against him.
The script given to him by the program team was that he fell in love with Wen Shu at first sight and then competed with the best actor. If it was discovered that this was a plot designed for fame, the audience would definitely scold him to death.
After the trio finished speaking, they found that Sheng Yi seemed to be in a daze, his thoughts drifting somewhere unknown.
"Hello!"
"——I understand. I'll try my best to hide it."
Sheng Yi paused, then added casually, "But...if she really gets discovered, it won't be her fault, it'll be my fault, right?"
