Chapter 103: The Second Episode Officially Begins!

Two days later, the show finally resumed broadcasting, and the second episode officially began.

All the guests gathered again in the control room, waiting for the director’s instructions.

Due to his lower status, Fang Zhou sat in an inconspicuous corner.

However, he didn’t feel any disappointment about it; after all, he wasn’t a celebrity who relied on his looks to make a living. No screen time? So be it.

In the center sat the most popular guests, Qiao Sisi and Zhang Zhi Yin.

Both were smiling brightly, one elegant and sophisticated, the other fresh and natural, offering a pleasing sight to the viewers.

However, both of their gazes occasionally drifted towards Fang Zhou.

The protagonist of their attention, Fang Zhou, was quietly discussing the latest games with Liu Hao.

Both being game enthusiasts, they had plenty to talk about.

As a soothing melody played, the live broadcast officially began, and tens of thousands of viewers flooded into the stream in an instant.

Director Liu, beaming with joy, addressed everyone, “Welcome back to ‘Love 100%’!”

“The recording location for this episode will be chosen by our guests.”

“We have randomly selected three fan messages, and everyone will vote by raising their hands to decide the location with the most votes.”

As he spoke, the director brought out the electronic screen he had used on the island before.

“But before that, we need to reveal the mystery left from the last episode.”

“Which guests sent out the affection messages?”

Fang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, his attention instantly returning to the director.

No way, Sir, you still remember that? Can’t you let it go?

Because at the end of the last episode, the revealed message results showed that only Fang Zhou, among the male guests, received affection messages.

So revealing it now was essentially putting Fang Zhou on the spot!

“Please look at the big screen!”

Unfortunately, the director couldn’t hear Fang Zhou’s internal groan. Even if he did, he would pretend not to.

Personal feelings are not as important as traffic!

This was the start of the second episode, perfect for drawing viewers in.

The electronic screen displayed a PPT, with Fang Zhou’s name on the left and three arrows pointing towards him.

Each arrow originated from a different name.

They were: Chu Xinran, Qiao Sisi, Han Xi.

A stir of surprise filled the room, with several people exclaiming in shock.

“Wow!”

“It’s actually those three!”

“Impressive!”

The live chat exploded, shifting from admiration of the female guests’ beauty to a flood of “Whoa!”

“Chu Xinran and Han Xi, they consistently chose Fang Zhou from the start! They’re so devoted, sob sob, two treasure female guests!”

“I’m really surprised that even cold Han Xi has feelings for Fang Zhou? Though, Fang Zhou is indeed good-looking.”

The most surprising was the message from Qiao Sisi.

“Oh my! Sisi actually sent a message! OMG! She’s a celebrity! Someone who’s seen countless handsome guys in the entertainment industry!”

“This reminds me of a romantic saying: ‘Love is seeing the dazzling starry sky and still choosing the first star you saw.’ I think Sisi feels this way about Fang Zhou! I’m so hooked!”

As the screen appeared, the director deliberately switched to close-up shots, panning across everyone’s expressions from left to right.

Qin Yun maintained a gentle smile, even clapping lightly, but her eyes didn’t lift.

Chu Xinran lowered her head, her expression not captured.

Han Xi’s face remained cold, as if her name wasn’t on the screen.

Qiao Sisi smiled shyly at the camera, looking a bit embarrassed.

Zhang Zhi Yin glanced sideways, seemingly unsurprised.

Tang Wan, like the other male guests, displayed a surprised expression, practically writing “watching the drama” on his face.

Fang Zhou’s expression froze, his smile not reaching his eyes, looking far from happy.

This five-second clip was captured by fans, analyzed frame by frame to decipher the guests’ thoughts.

Fang Zhou thought: Well, now my anxious heart can finally rest.

“Alright, let’s move on to our location selection!”

Fortunately, the director didn’t dwell on the previous matter for too long, shifting everyone’s focus to the next task.

“Here are the three locations for this episode.”

As he spoke, the director flipped the PPT to the next page and stepped aside for everyone to see.

The electronic screen displayed three different images.

The first showed a lavish hall filled with various jewels.

The second depicted a vast grassland with countless cattle and sheep.

The third showed endless mountains and an old Hope Primary School.

“We choose one of these three places?”

Tang Wan was the first to speak.

The director, monitoring the live stream data, replied, “Yes, you have three minutes to discuss and then make a choice.”

He was too busy watching the continuous influx of viewers to bother explaining the images.

Glancing at his phone, he saw “Qiao Sisi sends affection message to Fang Zhou” trending at the top of entertainment news!

The director thought: With a celebrity boost, the traffic effect is fantastic!

No more worries about securing sponsors for the next season!

The guests discussed the images’ meanings.

Fang Zhou, frowning, studied the PPT and formed a vague guess.

He explained, “The first image likely represents going to a gemstone origin, where the guests will experience the entire process from mining to selling.”

“The second image suggests going to a place like the Inner Mongolia grasslands to experience nomadic life.”

“The third image seems to indicate going to mountain areas to teach, bringing something different to the children there.”

Sun Haotian nodded in agreement, “Fang Zhou is right, I think that’s what it means too.”

“I want to go to the gemstone origin!”

Tang Wan’s eyes lit up with excitement; girls find it hard to resist shiny things!

“The grasslands sound good too.”

Qiao Sisi said softly, imagining the picturesque scenes.

Everyone voiced their preferences, hoping to go to a location they liked.

Fang Zhou hadn’t spoken yet; he wanted to go to the mountainous area to teach.

Having studied in a village school as a child, he had a special affection for rural areas.

However, he knew the third option might be the least popular.

After all, this was a romance show; who wanted to go to the mountains?
