Chapter 9 I think he is a masochist!
Chu Ling thought that he was not the only one who wanted to change.
Lin Zirun probably wants to change too.
After all, the two of them hadn't gotten along very well today. Lin Zirun's character, which he had spent so much time building up, had been completely destroyed by her. If she were Lin Zirun, she would have run away.
Unexpectedly, that night, Chu Ling received a heart-warming text message.
——【Meeting by chance is what I wish for. If I charge you for taking a photo of you alone, can you take a photo of us together next time?】
Although it is anonymous, it is obviously from Lin Zirun.
Chu Ling: “…”
Chu Ling said to the system: "I seriously suspect he is a masochist."
This wasn't even a courtesy message.
The first half quotes an ancient poem to express one's feelings, while the second half extends an invitation and looks forward to future developments.
Chu Ling was completely baffled.
No, buddy, are you sick?
Haven’t you been scolded enough today?
System: "Do you want to reply?"
Chu Ling looked at the first half of his sentence and resisted the urge to reply, "I'm not talented enough."
"No."
Chu Ling locked his phone. "After all, I already sent him a thoughtful message today. I hope he likes it."
…
Lin Zirun certainly has his own plans.
Although he had been annoyed by Chu Ling all day, and it was indeed very agonizing for him, on the other hand, as a hidden rule of dating variety shows, since he was going on a date with Chu Ling today, he had to send the text message to Chu Ling.
As for what to post...
He did consider whether to change people.
If you want to replace people, it is still in time to do so in the early stages, and you will receive the least criticism, so the entire platform will not be overturned.
But is he coming to this show to fall in love?
Of course not!
If he really wants to date, he can grab a lot of beautiful girls outside the show. The reason he came to this show is to establish his image, attract fans, and become famous.
Then, Chu Ling is still his best target.
In today's performance, he has been identified by some viewers as having the potential to be a scumbag.
If we change people here, it will simply confirm this statement and may lead to more negative public opinion attacks.
He didn't want to be easily accused of being fickle.
On the contrary, if he continues to hold Chu Ling, even if Chu Ling still acts indifferent to him, as long as he is more careful this time and acts more sincerely, the audience will be moved by his affectionate character over time.
Chu Ling is a person who is naturally unpopular with the audience.
By the next date, I will definitely find an opportunity to reverse my reputation.
The phone vibrates twice.
It was his heart-warming text message.
Today's text message was most likely sent to him by Chu Ling.
Even though today's date was not pleasant, Lin Zirun still took a deep breath and opened it nervously.
[[Vinyl record player tb screenshot]]
[I've checked it for you, and it's not expensive.]
Lin Zirun: “…”
What on earth had he been expecting?
Is he short of money?
Can't he afford a vinyl record player?
Does she need to find an affordable one for him?
Lin Zirun gritted his teeth for a long time, but in the end, for the purpose of maintaining his personal image, he swallowed his anger and typed "Thank you so much, I will take a good look at it."
Chu Ling looked at the reply, then glanced at the negative emotions earned from Lin Zirun in the backend, and said to the system: "Am I right? I think he is a masochist."
system:"……"
—
On the sofa on the third floor.
Wen Shu hugged the pillow and poked the screen of his mobile phone in confusion.
She didn't know how to write today's text message.
She was indeed going out on a date with Qin Shuo today, so according to common sense, she must send it to Qin Shuo.
However, her relationship with Qin Shuo... made her very difficult. She edited the content over and over again. On the one hand, she was afraid that being too enthusiastic would cause Qin Shuo to misunderstand her - after all, when the two of them first got married, he had warned her, "Don't fall in love with me."
She was also afraid that being too cold and offensive would offend others, and Qin Shuo's fans might come and scold her.
According to the program team's rules, you must send a text message before you can open it to check if you have any text messages to avoid interfering with each other.
She didn't know what Qin Shuo would write to her, and she became more and more confused.
"—You haven't finished writing yet?"
Chu Ling's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Before she took a shower, she saw Wen Shu struggling on this page for a long time. Now that he had come back from the shower, he was still poking at it.
Wen Shu was startled and subconsciously turned his phone over.
"Don't worry, I didn't see what you wrote."
Chu Ling asked, "But is it so difficult to just write a text message?"
The system silently said: "...It is indeed not difficult to make everyone as fearless as you."
“…A little bit.”
Wen Shu hesitated and said, "Because I don't know how to strike the right balance."
She glanced at the time. It was eleven o'clock in the evening and all the automatic cameras recording the scene had been turned off.
It was probably because Chu Ling ordered takeout for her that night that Wen Shu suddenly felt a sense of closeness. She hesitated for a moment and asked quietly, "How do you usually write text messages like this?"
She signed up for the dating show out of spite after her divorce, and she had never watched similar shows before, so she wasn't sure what would be suitable.
system:"?"
Why don’t you copy anyone else’s homework? Why do you copy hers?
Just looking for trouble.
Chu Ling reluctantly held back his true answer, thought for a moment, and then tactfully replied, "Just pick a point during today's date that you feel most comfortable expressing yourself about and tell him."
Wen Shu nodded thoughtfully.
system:"……"
You two are really brave enough to ask and answer.
Chu Ling simply sat down next to her and asked, "Or let me ask you first, did you have fun today?"
Wen Shu blinked.
Chu Ling: "Tell the truth."
Wen Shu: "...It's, it's okay."
Chu Ling didn't like such a mediocre answer: "What's okay? If I like it, I like it. If I don't like it, I don't like it."
"Qin Shuo..."
Wen Shu seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly corrected himself, saying, "The project that Teacher Qin arranged is indeed very interesting and romantic. However, he seems to have forgotten—he seems not to know—that I'm actually afraid of heights."
As the hot air balloon gradually rose into the air, she felt extremely scared every minute and every second.
So when Qin Shuo held her hand, she did not choose to resist, because at that time she instinctively wanted some dependence.
Chu Ling asked doubtfully, "Didn't you tell me in advance that you were afraid of heights?"
"Um……"
Wen Shu hesitated and shook his head. "He had already made all the arrangements when we went there. Now that we're at the venue, it wouldn't be a good idea to refuse at the last minute and ruin everyone else's fun, right?"
Chu Ling choked and almost fainted.
Very good, she knows why the heroine is the heroine.
If she was afraid of heights, the male guest would have taken her to ride a hot air balloon, but they would have fallen out before she even got on.
Since he was free at the moment, Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and thought that he might as well make some money by taking advantage of Wen Shu's dislike.
“Are you a bun?”
Chu Ling said bluntly, "You don't like him but you still endure it. Are you going on a date or providing him with emotional value?"
She snorted softly, "He took you on a hot air balloon ride. Even if you're not afraid of heights, he was probably trying to use the suspension bridge effect as a shortcut to make you fall in love. Didn't you just say that he even took your hand without your consent halfway through the ride? And you're still struggling with whether to give him respect? Okay, you're not a jerk, you're an idiot."
"Just write down right now, right now, that you don't like today's appointment."
Wen Shu pursed his lips and whispered, "...Does it have to be so direct? But he also made careful arrangements. Isn't it too hurtful to write it like this?"
Chu Ling bent his fingers and tapped her head directly: "If he really cared, he would ask you. Why didn't he consider whether he would hurt you or not?"
"If you don't tell me now, what if he takes you bungee jumping, skydiving, or roller coaster next time after getting a taste of his own medicine?"
Wen Shu thought about it and couldn't help shivering.
"good."
She made up her mind and then edited slowly: [Thank you, I had a great time today, but there is one thing I want to -]
"Why so much nonsense?"
Chu Ling feigned dissatisfaction and said, "If you don't know how to do it, I can write it for you, 'Don't you need to do a background check on your date?', 'Will you die if you ask for my opinion first?', 'If you can't place your hands properly, I suggest you chop them off.'"
The system quickly said, "Don't lead the heroine astray!"
Chu Ling asked it: "How is it, is she annoyed with me?"
Now, Wen Shu should think that she is here to sow discord between her and Qin Shuo, and be dissatisfied with her meddling.
System: "...seems, no?"
However, Chu Ling looked at his phone and found that he didn't see any negative emotions belonging to Wen Shu at all.
The system speculated: "Perhaps the heroine of the original book is kind and tolerant?"
Chu Ling looked at Wen Shu, only to see Wen Shu had revised the text message and then looked at her: "Chu Ling."
Chu Ling: "Hmm?"
Wen Shu's eyes were clear and grateful as he said, "Thank you for helping me come up with some ideas."
"……no."
Chu Ling said to the system, "She's just a real idiot."
