Chapter 67 Can we not break up first?
As soon as Sheng Yi pushed the door open from the rooftop, he heard cheers from below.
"Congratulations!"
"Long live!"
Gao Yan joked, "I thought our dating show was going to set a new record of zero confessions and zero hand-holding in dating show history. Turns out someone is actually secretly dating. You two did a great job hiding it."
Sheng Yi was stunned: "Why are you..."
He guessed it before he finished speaking.
With such a big commotion, the other guests must be watching the live broadcast downstairs.
When Sheng Yi thought that Chu Ling agreed to this mistake because she misunderstood that he wanted to hype up their relationship and that the whole world was watching, his expression suddenly became a little bad.
Wen Shu, on the other hand, was incredibly touched. "I've always thought you two were a good match. You two must stay together! I wish you happiness."
Chu Ling has had a very difficult journey.
It's not easy to meet someone who likes her and she likes him too, and is willing to be brave for love.
She was sincerely happy for Chu Ling.
"……Thanks."
Sheng Yi said.
He didn't dare say that your blessings were too early, because he would probably be broken up soon.
The female guests kept asking him gossip.
"So you've really liked her for a long time?"
"I told you that you had a purpose when you stood up for her last time."
“This is so romantic.”
"By the way, where is Chu Ling?"
Wen Shu suddenly remembered and asked, "Didn't she come down with you?"
Sheng Yi only chose the last question to answer: "Oh, it seems someone called her, I was not able to answer so I came down first."
"I'm going to go pack my things first. I have to leave soon after all."
If he were to be pressed for details about his confession again, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to take it anymore.
Sheng Yi turned around and went back to his room first.
Ye Weiyang was stunned for a moment, keenly sensing something was amiss: "Shouldn't he be excited after a successful confession? Why does he look so lost?"
"Maybe it was just a casual confession, but I didn't expect Chu Ling to really agree."
Zhou Yu said sarcastically, "Maybe he's regretting it now and thinking about how to break up."
He felt extremely regretful.
If it weren't for that accident, he should have been the one to confess to Chu Ling today.
He also didn't expect that Chu Ling, who seemed to be sharp-tongued and kept people at a distance, would be able to be with someone so easily.
Her defenses weren't that hard to break through. If he had just kept pestering her, he could have caught up with her.
Lin Zirun had also been hurt by Chu Ling, so he immediately agreed, "I think they're probably just joking around. It won't last. I bet they'll break up within two months."
"Two months is still too long, right?"
Zhou Yu chuckled and shook his head, "I don't think we'll score in less than a month."
Wen Shu tried to hold back, but couldn't.
Ever since she'd been with Chu Ling for so long, she'd gotten better at being offensive: "You guys are just sour grapes, aren't you?"
Zhou Yu looked at her with a mocking look: "Sister Wen Shu, you don't really believe that they are in pure love, do you?"
"……yes."
Wen Shu gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong? Whether they are in pure love or not is their business. It's better than you just hating each other here."
"You'd better watch. I think they will be together for a long time."

Sheng Yi returned to his room and looked at his phone.
His band group messages kept popping up. When he glanced at them, he saw nothing but jokes and a constant stream of 99s.
And he could only type gg silently.
The group immediately exploded again.
Drummer: [?]
Bassist: [? Dumped?]
Keyboardist: [??? What's going on? Don't tell me you failed again after only ten minutes. This is the fastest heartbreak record in history.]
Sheng Yi sighed: [It's all bullshit, it was just a misunderstanding.]
Sheng Yi: [I'm waiting for her to come over and tell me that I'm sorry for the mistake. Let's just pretend nothing happened.]
Keyboardist: [Oh~ Love goes too fast like a tornado~]
Bassist: [How could this be a misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding? Are you saying that she was eating mushrooms and accidentally mistook you for someone else, and then accepted your confession because of her mistake?]
Sheng Yi: [……]
Sheng Yi: [Of course not.]
Bassist: [What's the misunderstanding?]
Sheng Yi found it really difficult to explain to them.
Because even he himself couldn't figure out Chu Ling's train of thought.
How could Chu Ling misunderstand?
Sheng Yi thought very depressedly, did he say something wrong?
His words of confession were indeed terrible, but not to the extent that they could be misunderstood.
He's not sick, how could he possibly hype up something so important?
Sheng Yi suddenly paused.
He remembered that his original purpose of joining this dating show was indeed for popularity, and some of his initial choices were also scripted. Chu Ling knew all of this.
But this time the confession was not true.
But perhaps, Chu Ling thought he was still following the script given to him by the program team and chose to cooperate with him.
“…”
Sheng Yi scratched his head in frustration, then briefly explained the situation to his friends before asking, "What should I do now? Should I just go ahead and confess my feelings to her again or play dead?"
Keyboardist: [Haha ...
Bassist: [Stupid X, I just said your brain has gone bad after being on the singles for so long.]
Sheng Yi: [? What's wrong with me?]
Bassist: [What a great opportunity! If she agrees to your "couple" promotion, it at least proves she doesn't hate you and might even be willing to continue dating you. Just keep going with this, and you'll have the advantage. Who knows, maybe you'll succeed someday?]
Keyboardist: [Oh wow, our Brother Qi is really good. You can sit at the head table at their wedding.]
Bassist: [Thanks for the invitation, but we should sit at the main table, okay?]
...Is this okay?
Sheng Yi's originally depressed heart was somewhat rekindled with hope, but after a moment he hesitated again.
Is this considered deceiving Chu Ling?
There were two knocks on the door.
Sheng Yi put away his phone and went to open the door.
Chu Ling was standing outside the door. He raised his hand and greeted him: "Hi."
Sheng Yi: “…”
His back subconsciously stiffened a little, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Ling pushed him and said, "Let's talk inside."
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Sheng Yi's packed suitcase. "Are you packing your things?"
"After all, today's show is finished, and it's time to leave."
Sheng Yi said.
According to the original plan, they should have parted ways today.
But the misunderstanding just now caused their fate to have a new intersection, and no one knew whether it was good or bad.
"just……"
Sure enough, Chu Ling also spoke, "Although I may have misunderstood the purpose of your confession, but now I want to ask you..."
She raised her eyes, looked at Sheng Yi and said, "Can we not break up yet?"
This opening was so straightforward and direct that Sheng Yi felt like his brain was blown apart.
Are they, are they together?
"My agent and I just reviewed it. Since I've already agreed to your confession, why not just go ahead with this path?"
"Right now, hyping up our relationship is good for both of us—of course, it might not be as good for you as it would be for me to reject you, but since it's done, why don't we just put up with it for a while?"
Chu Ling asked tentatively, "After all, the show has already aired. If we suddenly break up, it might damage both of our images. Why not just maintain our CP relationship for a while?"
“…”
Sheng Yi felt that his heart had been beating non-stop all day.
He was a little amused and said after thinking for a while, "You really misunderstood."
Chu Ling: "Hmm?"
Sheng Yi: "...I didn't intend to regret it."
"Yeah?"
Chu Ling smiled instantly, "That's great."
I originally thought that Sheng Yi was mad at her because she made the wrong decision.
Then she became even more curious: "Then why are you unhappy?"
Sheng Yi's negative emotions just now were so strong that they scared her.
Sheng Yi wondered if he had shown it that obviously.
"No."
He said vaguely, "It might be a little... unexpected, so I was a little confused."
Chu Ling asked the system: "Is this also considered a negative emotion? Isn't your definition of negative emotions a bit too broad?"
system:"……"
It doesn't know either, and it is also very confused.
Chu Ling asked again: "Are you really not unhappy?"
Sheng Yi said: "...Really not."
"Okay then."
Chu Ling extended his hand generously and said, "Then I'll be grateful for your guidance in the coming days, 'boyfriend'."

The arrogant and domineering topic lived up to everyone's expectations and became the number one trending search on that day.
Originally, how "Heartbeat Laboratory" would end was very eye-catching. After all, the program team had collapsed one after another. Even the biggest gimmick before the show started, actor Qin Shuo, left the show because of the collapse of his reputation.
Some people originally speculated that it would be a blessing if the remaining guests could leave safely, and there would be no more love segments.
Some even speculated that other male guests might stay away from Chu Ling, fearing that they would be the next to fail.
But no one thought that the arrogant CP, who had never been favored, would actually be together.
Before this, even the CP fans themselves didn’t dare to think about it!
The Bully Dog was just casually trying to attract the accomplices, but he didn't expect that he would succeed in bringing them together!
But apart from the CP fans' celebration, many people also questioned whether the couple was deliberately hyping up the popularity.
After all, before this, even the program crew had not focused on promoting this pair of CPs.
"No, how could it be fake?"
Chu Ling and Sheng Yi specially started a double live broadcast to respond to this matter.
She and Sheng Yi leaned against each other shoulder to shoulder, their distance close. "Although I didn't expect him to confess to me at first, we are really trying to be in a relationship now. But since this is our first time, we are still in... the adjustment period?"
She said, nudging Sheng Yi with her elbow naturally, "Don't you think so?"
Sheng Yi nodded: "...Indeed."
"If you say I'm hyping myself up, then I'm already very popular, right?"
Chu Ling blinked, revealing an innocent expression. "If I want to, I can easily become a trending topic. Why do I need to hype this up?"
It's really funny when Sister Chu pretends to be stupid and says these kind of annoying things.
[If it were anyone else, I would think this is too crazy and nonsense. But if it were Sister Chu, I would just say, it’s true, hahahaha]
"Although we have just been together, we also want to get to know each other slowly so that we can be together better."
Chu Ling looked at the comments and said with a smile, "Yes, yes. If there's a chance, I'll share my daily love life."
Popularity, like money, is not lacking, but who would complain about having too much?
After turning off the live broadcast, Chu Ling glanced at Sheng Yi and objectively commented, "Your performance still needs further improvement."
"I really tried my best."
Sheng Yi smiled helplessly, "Your acting is really good."
He was also a little depressed in his heart. Not to mention the audience, even he was almost infected by the atmosphere created by Chu Ling for a second or two, and believed that the two of them were really a couple.
"That's true."
Chu Ling said naturally and proudly, "I am a professional after all."
The current situation is very good.
Both parties' agencies also agreed to promote this couple.
So after the show, Chu Ling and Sheng Yi quickly followed each other and started a live broadcast to respond to the matter of being together. This was considered to be a continuation of the show and a perfect after-sales service, and the popularity naturally increased.
Chu Ling said, "Oh, right, my agent said we've been invited to be guests on a couples' battle variety show. It's going to be around next month. Are you available?"
Sheng Yi was stunned: "Couple variety show?"
It’s okay if it’s just a short live performance.
But if they had to act like a couple in front of the camera all the time... Sheng Yi was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it and would reveal his flaws.
Let’s just forget it.
He thought about it, but looking at Chu Ling's expectant eyes, he felt unable to say it.
Chu Ling will definitely ask him why.
If I tell her at this time that I don’t really want to be in a relationship with you and that I really like you, she will be surprised and disappointed.
It’s better to maintain the status quo.
At least now, he can still stay with Chu Ling.
"OK."
He finally said, "I'm fine."
