Zhai Xingchen was extremely nervous when he said this, and didn’t even dare to look at the expressions of the other guests.
What he didn’t know was that all the guests breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say “no”.
Although this was a dating reality show, which was different from real-life dating, the essence of a dating reality show was a program to talk about love. The production team had a rule that everyone had the right to pursue someone until the very last moment. Zhai Xingchen would thus remain single until the final confession day of the show. Under this situation, everyone’s right to pursue someone was equal, and there were no third parties or moral issues.
In other words, even if Zhai Xingchen had someone he liked, they could still pursue him before the dating reality show ended, and no one would criticize them for it. In dating reality shows, only guests who didn’t actively pursue their partners were criticized by netizens. This was the specific environment of dating reality shows.
But pursuing someone who already had someone they liked was obviously different from pursuing someone who was emotionally available.
The latter would be more powerful!
Now everyone’s on the same starting line!
Hu Ying: Thank goodness, it didn’t happen. I still have a chance.
Yan Zhi: It was expected that Zhai Xingchen wouldn’t like me, but thankfully he doesn’t like anyone else either.
Pei Xu: I’ve been worried about the magic trick involving the starry sky and have been on guard against Yan Zhi. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Huo Cheng: Thank goodness, Yan Zhi and Pei Xu are so good at this; I almost thought I’d lost my chance. I’m so grateful!
Duan Yihua and Wen Nuo: That’s great! That’s great!! The faint glimmer of dawn has brightened a little more.
Lin Qingning: Just as I thought.
Guo Bing: I need to have a serious talk with Zhai Xingchen. I feel like he has never intended to date on our show. Is he under too much pressure?
He thought about it carefully and realized that it would indeed be very stressful if all the guests loved him.
Zhai Xingchen was only twenty years old, and suddenly he had become the center of a chaotic situation. The production team also kept adding fuel to the fire. The time was too short and the pressure was too intense, leaving him no chance to catch his breath!
Just then, a waiter knocked on the door and came in, saying, “The food is here.”
Everyone sat up straight as four or five waiters came in with plates and began serving the dishes.
Once the dishes arrived, almost everything was served at once.
Hu Ying asked, “So, shall we start eating, or continue asking questions?”
“Who else hasn’t been asked a question, or hasn’t been asked a question?”
Wen Nuo pointed at Duan Yihua and said firmly, “Xingchen hasn’t asked any questions yet either.”
“I don’t have anything to ask,” Duan Yihua said. “Let’s eat first.”
He smiled and looked at everyone.
Yan Zhi said, “Then let’s eat.”
No one objected.
They all got the answer they wanted most, so there was no need to compete and be jealous with their rivals anymore. Were they even rivals anymore? They were fighting so fiercely among themselves, and not one of them had even reached first base!
So they reconciled instantly… though only briefly.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat, I’m starving,” Hu Ying said.
Zhai Xingchen looked at everyone.
He had expected the atmosphere to become awkward, heavy, and silent after he said those words, but why did everyone seem so relaxed?
It made him feel inexplicably much more relaxed.
However, it would be best if this game could end.
He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to handle it if it continued.
Huo Cheng handed him the chopsticks, which he took and said, “Thank you.”
Everyone started eating together. Guo Bing opened his palm and looked at it; his palm was sweaty.
I was so excited just now.
The footage we shot today is absolutely amazing!
Although this honest conversation was a little short.
However, the real showdown hasn’t arrived yet, and we don’t need to go too deep with our honest opinions; a brief discussion is enough.
After eating the warm soup and hot dishes, Zhai Xingchen felt much more comfortable.
The slightly strange atmosphere disappeared, and everyone became peaceful again. Hu Ying started talking more.
Once everything was out in the open, the relationship between these rivals became less tense.
“Where are we going this afternoon? Or should we just go back after lunch?” Duan Yihua asked.
Hu Ying turned his head to look at the program crew at the next table.
While drinking, Guo Bing said, “We’re going to shoot an outdoor commercial this afternoon.”
With the immense popularity of “Red and Blue Signal,” they had received an increasing number of advertising offers. However, they didn’t accept just any ad. As a dating reality show positioned as a high-end program, their advertisements were more upscale than those of typical dating shows, ranging from national brands to luxury goods. Recently, they received three new advertisements: one for a well-known men’s ring brand, one for a domestically renowned down jacket brand, and one for toothpaste. Today, they were filming the down jacket commercial.
This was a group advertising project.
“I was wondering why all the down jackets you provided this time were from the same brand,” Hu Ying said.
“This down jacket brand is from one of the best domestic brands, so we should support domestic products,” Guo Bing said. “For the next few days, please try to wear this brand of down jacket. We will prepare more styles and sizes for you when we get back.”
After they finished eating, they went to prepare for the commercial shoot. Guo Bing took the opportunity to stop Zhai Xingchen: “I have something to talk to you about, let’s go for a walk.”
Zhai Xingchen then went out with Guo Bing.
Guys, ads are my only source of revenue, so please do not turn on the AdBlock when you are accessing this website…. Thank you, this would be a great help…
