[It’s Pei Xu! Ahhhhh, the Meteor CP won’t allow it!]
[The Mars CP is furious! He was so close!]
[Oh my god, is this what dating reality shows are like? Are all dating reality shows this amazing?!!!!]
[I was sweating while watching this, oh my god.]
[It’s such a shame the viewing distance is too far. I’ll definitely binge-watch it when the full episode comes out!]
[Spring has arrived for the rising sun and stars CP fans!]
[Sobbing, I’m crying with excitement! It’s even more exciting than when I first fell in love!]
[Big Hat, Mom’s big son, you’ve finally stood up for yourself today.]
[What’s with the big hat?]
[Many people think his name is MAO, or peimao.]
[The way the guests overcame all obstacles for love was so cool!]
[It’s such a pity we can’t see the other guests’ expressions at this moment!]
[Exactly! It’s such a shame we can’t see Zhai Xingchen’s expression!]
[Zhai Xingchen’s expression must be priceless. I wonder if Pei Xu is the person he wants to date?]
[Yeah, yeah, it’s the same as the Rising Sun and Stars CP, why are you getting so excited? So what if there was the Starry Sky? So what if you got the date this time? Who knows if Zhai Xingchen even likes your brother? Hehehehe.]
[Wow, which CP fandom is saying such sour things?]
[Hahaha, this chaotic battle between you CP (couple) fans is hilarious!]
After Pei Xu stood up, he reached out and pulled Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng, who were lying next to him, up as well.
All three of them gave it their all in the end, rushing forward. But Huo Cheng was the most anxious. He was a little behind Yan Zhi and Pei Xu, and he was the first to rush forward. But because he rushed forward too early, his fingers barely grazed the red flag. While Yan Zhi and Pei Xu rushed forward almost at the same time, but Yan Zhi was still a fraction of a second behind Pei Xu.
The two of them weren’t in much better shape than Pei Xu. They were all in a sorry state, panting heavily. Their cameramen, carrying cameras, surrounded the three of them and filmed them directly in the face.
“Your hand is bleeding,” Huo Cheng said to Pei Xu.
Pei Xu raised his hand and glanced at it. For some reason, the spot on his hand where he had frostbite had cracked open.
The staff immediately brought over blankets and draped them over them.
Pei Xu, wrapped in a blanket and holding a small red flag, walked forward, panting.
[Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!]
[What is he trying to do?]
[Is the scene I’ve been waiting for finally here? Is Pei Xu going to hand the flag to Zhai Xingchen? So soon?!]
[That’s how it should be! Be decisive, be brave, and give me that big block!]
[A classic moment from a dating reality show!!!]
Now that the results were in, the remaining people no longer needed to struggle. It was too cold in the snow, and many people’s legs had gone numb from the cold. Everyone slowly crawled out of the snow. Wen Nuo was exhausted and sat down directly on the snow. The staff brought them blankets, and Zhai Xingchen took one and handed it to Wen Nuo, saying, “Don’t sit on the ground, you’ll get cold.”
Wen Nuo got up from the ground, and the two wrapped themselves in the blanket. Zhai Xingchen lowered his head and shook the snow off his legs.
Zhai Xingchen felt cold all over, both cold and tired, and didn’t want to say a word. Although he couldn’t see his own face, he could imagine his miserable state just by looking at the others.
Hu Ying was furious. He wrapped himself in a blanket and said sarcastically, “Pei Xu is going to such lengths, who is he trying to invite?”
Upon hearing this, Zhai Xingchen’s mind, which had just been blank, immediately tensed up again. He pursed his lips and saw Pei Xu, clutching the red flag in his hand, walking towards him.
Huo Cheng turned his head and glanced at Yan Zhi beside him, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
Yan Zhi pinched his glasses and also squinted at Pei Xu.
Yan Zhi must be just as shocked as he was back then, right?
Pei Xu, this man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere! This man who had always stayed out of the loop, whose beauty, strength, intelligence, and cunning were all underestimated by everyone!
Even though he had foreseen Pei Xu’s feelings, he never expected that such an indifferent man would go to such lengths for Zhai Xingchen. He suddenly saw the burning passion beneath Pei Xu’s cold exterior.
That was terrifying.
Lin Qingning, Duan Yihua, and Wen Nuo all stared blankly at Pei Xu.
Seeing Pei Xu clutching the red flag and walking towards them, Lin Qingning actually felt for a moment that he was coming towards him.
His heart started racing, but he felt that his idea was really far-fetched. He glanced at Duan Yihua, then at Wen Nuo and Hu Ying. Everyone’s eyes were on Pei Xu.
Then his gaze fell on Zhai Xingchen.
Could it be…?
He was startled and looked straight at Pei Xu.
Pei Xu was the only one among them who had taken off his outermost windbreaker. He was only wearing a black fleece jacket underneath, which was soaked through and still had some unmelted snow on it. You could imagine how cold it was inside. Pei Xu was so cold that his lips had turned black and purple. The back of his hand was covered in bright red blood, which was more glaring than the little red flag in his hand. He looked extremely tired and miserable. You could imagine how hard he had fought to get first place.
He was tall, slender and draped in a thin blanket, as he walked steadily to Zhai Xingchen.
[Aa … Send it out! Send it out!]
[I hate that we can’t hear what they’re saying!]
The live stream couldn’t see Zhai Xingchen’s expression, but Pei Xu was directly facing it.
They were both wrapped in blankets, standing face to face. All around them was pristine white snow, beyond which were other guests and onlookers, and further still, blue skies and snow-capped mountains.
Guo Bing, standing next to him, clenched his fists nervously. He glanced at the crowd behind him and saw countless phones being filmed at them.
Should we call a pause at this point?
He felt that Pei Xu’s invitation to Zhai Xingchen was a classic scene that was just as exciting as the Starry Night Magic trick. After all, this was the first direct invitation in this season of their dating show. Should they save such a suspenseful scene for the main episode?
But at this moment, these things were no longer the most important.
“Pay close attention to filming the other guests’ expressions!!! Don’t miss a single micro-expression!!!”
Zhai Xingchen pursed his lips tightly; his mind completely blank at that moment.
This was quite different from the “Starry Sky” magic trick. While the “Starry Sky” trick could still be considered to use magic as a pretext, but only the person involved understood it, this invitation however was more like a confession.
However, from the moment the production team told them they would be competing against each other, this scene was inevitable.
The rule set by the program team was that the person who got first place would hand over the little red flag to the person they wanted to invite.
He raised his head and looked at Pei Xu.
Pei Xu’s face was still flushed, and his ears were red too, but his expression was extremely resolute. His wet hair was messy and stuck to his forehead. At the brightest moment of the day, the sunlight shone on his bright eyebrows and eyes, melting away the frost and revealing his pure and fiery nature. The back of his hand was red and swollen as he picked up the red flag in his hand and handed it over: “Zhai Xingchen, I want to take you somewhere tomorrow.”
In the live broadcast, viewers watched as Pei Xu handed over the small red flag.
[It’s here! It’s here! It’s here!]
[The moment to scream with excitement at Rising Sun and Stars!!]
[Zhai Xingchen, catch it right now!!!]
[Was Pei Xu’s mouth moving just now? Is there anyone who understands lip reading? Hurry up and decipher it for me!]
[Sobbing, I guess I’ll just have to wait for the actual episode to see what they said.]
[Why does Pei, with his grumpy face, look so pleasing to the eye now? He looks so miserable all wet!]
[It’s glowing, its wet surface reflecting the sunlight!]
[His face is so red, redder than everyone else’s!]
In the slightly shaky footage, they saw Zhai Xingchen reach out and take the small flag.
[Aaaaaaaah!]
[Caught it! Caught it!]
[The Rising Sun and Stars have risen up!!]
Zhai Xingchen’s face was already bright red.
He knew that from this moment on, there would be no more secret crushes.
He had officially entered the battleground!
The camera panned across the faces of the other guests.
Wen Nuo was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Qingning was completely astonished.
While Duan Yihua took off his hood and smoothed his hair.
Hu Ying pursed his lips and said with a forced smile, “Oh, so Pei Xu also likes Xing Xing.”
Huo Cheng wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, his smile faint, but his eyes turning cold.
Yan Zhi wiped his glasses with his sleeve, put them on, and the lenses gleamed with a faint blue light. He then stared at Pei Xu, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.
