Chapter 271: Don’t fall for me.

The exceptional performance by Qiao Sisi and Fang Zhou received unanimous praise from the live audience.

Someone recorded the entire scene and within ten minutes, it was uploaded to various internet platforms, causing quite a stir.

“Ahhhh! So sweet! It’s killing me with sweetness! Real couples are just more addictive than fake ones!”

“Waaah, mutual secret crushes confessing to each other? That’s amazing! Who doesn’t love mutual love?”

“I’m crying, why do I feel like Fang Zhou got so much more handsome the moment he said he liked her? Is this the power of good acting?”

If Fang Zhou knew what this viewer was thinking, he’d probably laugh his head off and then tell them: “Don’t fall for me; I’m just a legend.”

In an unnoticed corner, someone was pinching their arm until it turned red.

How could he look at someone else with such gentle eyes?

Calm down, calm down, this is just a show; he wouldn’t like seeing me cry.

Chu Xinran tried hard to calm her emotions. After a week of psychological therapy, her self-control had greatly improved.

The urge to grab a knife had lessened significantly today.

Realizing her change was because of Fang Zhou’s gentleness over those three days, Chu Xinran slowly smiled.

The chances of her brother liking a normal person were undoubtedly much higher than someone who wasn’t normal.

I’m walking towards the kind of person you like, please don’t leave me…

Several others shared similar feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

For example, Qin Yun, whose molars were practically itching with anger.

She thought: No wonder Qiao Sisi has been so relaxed; turns out Fang Zhou has won her over.

Looking at the way they exchanged glances, it seemed they wanted the whole world to be fed a bowl of dog food.

Damn it, why didn’t this great opportunity fall to me?

Not far from her, Han Xi sat calmly, though her eyes grew colder. If looks could shoot arrows, those two would be full of holes.

Well done, Fang Zhou, sneaking around under my nose.

Alright, alright, you did well, so daring. Qin Yun almost wanted to applaud him.

Zhang Zhiyin, who knew all about Fang Zhou and Qiao Sisi’s relationship, felt that the milk tea she had just drunk tasted a bit bitter.

Otherwise, why would her mouth be filled with bitterness?

The taste of bitterness spread from her mouth to her heart, almost turning into a sea of bitterness.

The only consolation was that the next activity was just a simple interactive discussion, where everyone would share their thoughts on various relationship scenarios.

No more romantic scenes; otherwise, Zhang Zhiyin wasn’t sure how much longer she could stay.

The live stream lasted nearly four hours, during which the guests cooperated and interacted in many activities that promoted emotional exchange.

Everyone wore smiles, reminiscent of their time teaching in the mountains, sharing hardships and joys.

However, continuous live streaming was exhausting, and by the end, the guests were visibly tired, struggling to even maintain their smiles.

The production team finally showed some mercy, announcing the end of this live stream and that the fourth episode would be broadcast at the same time next week.

“Next episode, everyone will go on solo dates! But before that, you have a week to think about who you want to date, and we’ll start with mutual selection next week!”

“Dear viewers, we’ll launch a ‘most popular couple’ poll on Weibo. If the most popular couple successfully dates next week, everyone who voted will share 50 grand prizes! See you then!”

With the passionate announcement from the chief director, the live stream finally ended, and the interface closed.

Despite the viewers’ pleas, the live stream now only showed a series of ads.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Those who had been sitting upright finally slouched, relaxing a bit.

Some even jumped from their seats, exclaiming they were starving and wanted to eat.

The boxed meals prepared by the production team arrived on time, and everyone dug in with gusto.

The director approached Fang Zhou, patting his shoulder and excitedly telling him that a sponsor had invited him to shoot a mid-program ad, offering a five-figure payment.

Fang Zhou hadn’t expected his luck to land him a commercial gig. Usually, such opportunities went to the female guests, but today, he got lucky.

After finishing the meal and shooting the ad, it was already around four or five in the afternoon.

Most of the guests had left, and only a few editors from the production team remained.

After saying his goodbyes, Fang Zhou left the studio, intending to drive home.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly as planned.

He found that his car tire seemed to be leaking air and couldn’t be driven.

Fang Zhou got out to check and confirmed the leak. He had to call for help and wait there.

As luck would have it, about ten minutes later, it started raining heavily, forcing Fang Zhou to wait at the building entrance.

“Fang Zhou? Why are you still here?”

A gentle voice came from behind him as he was lost in thought.

He turned to see Qin Yun, with long curly hair, dressed in a champagne-colored spaghetti strap dress. The silk fabric clung perfectly to her curves, and the draped neckline added a touch of seductive allure.

Fang Zhou was taken aback, not expecting Qin Yun to still be there, feeling a bit puzzled.

“I stayed back to shoot a mid-program ad. Why are you still here?”

Qin Yun slightly tilted her head, showing Fang Zhou the folder in her hand.

“Coincidentally, I signed a small ad deal too, and I was just about to go home.”

“You didn’t drive? Let me take you home.”

She spoke casually, as if they were old friends, naturally and warmly.

But Fang Zhou wasn’t swayed. He simply appreciated the chance for a normal conversation.

“No need, I drove here, but my car’s outside.”

“Oh? Is it the black BYD? I think I saw one of its rear tires flat.”

Qin Yun smiled warmly, like a caring big sister wanting to solve Fang Zhou’s problems.

She raised her hand, glancing at her wristwatch, which showed 5:30 PM.

“The repair service might take a while to arrive. How about we grab a bite to eat first? By the time we’re done, your car should be fixed.”

Fang Zhou was about to refuse when Qin Yun preempted him.

“It’s just a meal, I promise to bring you back. Besides, in broad daylight, I can’t possibly do anything to you, right?”

“After all, a person’s gotta eat, isn’t that your motto?”
