Chapter 51: So You Want to Be with Another Female Guest in Front of Me?

After the helicopter ride, Fang Zhou didn’t get to enjoy any beautiful moments; instead, he was constantly on edge, fearing exposure.

Finally, after enduring the ride, Fang Zhou rushed back to his room without interacting with anyone.

Even the other guests who wanted to ask about the situation were left baffled, not knowing what had happened.

They could only turn to the other two for answers.

“What’s going on? Why did Fang Zhou look so pale? Is he afraid of heights?” Qi Le scratched his head, puzzled.

“Probably,” Chu Xinran smiled slightly, confirming his guess.

In reality, she thought: I just held his hand, how could he be so scared?

Qin Yun, with a mysterious smile, also recalled the earlier scene, feeling puzzled.

Why did he seem so nervous?

It shouldn’t be a fear of heights, or he wouldn’t have been so calm initially.

Could he really be that afraid of me?

Qin Yun pondered this thought until the evening.

As the winner of the game, she could choose a male guest for a candlelight dinner.

Without hesitation, Qin Yun chose Fang Zhou, causing his face to change once again.

The show’s producers were cunning, arranging a romantic setting in a seaside cabin for them.

It was a colorful cabin, adorned with fairy lights, creating a perfect and romantic atmosphere.

A not-too-big, not-too-small window was opened, revealing a meticulously arranged candlelight dinner inside.

Qin Yun and Fang Zhou, each on one side, sat inside having dinner.

The other guests could only sit on the open-air terrace on the villa’s third floor, eating the same clay pot rice, without any surprises or romance.

“Sigh, this guy is so lucky, having a feast while we’re stuck with clay pot rice. The show’s producers have no heart!” Qi Le scooped rice with a spoon, complaining.

Tang Wan, eating beef brisket with potatoes, disagreed.

“After eating rich food every day, it’s nice to have some light porridge once in a while.”

Sitting next to Tang Wan, Chu Xinran absentmindedly poked at her food, frequently glancing toward the cabin.

“Xinran, what’s wrong? Don’t you like the spicy fried pork? I can switch with you,” Sun Haotian offered, moving to sit across from her, smiling eagerly.

Chu Xinran glanced at him and shook her head slightly.

“No, I just ate too much at lunch, not very hungry.”

In truth, she regretted not trying harder during the game earlier. Otherwise, she could have had a solo dinner with Fang Zhou.

Qiao Sisi and Han Xi, both filled with regret, also ate absentmindedly, their eyes involuntarily drifting toward the cabin.

Han Xi, usually cold-faced, seemed even more unapproachable tonight, deterring Dong Donghui from striking up a conversation.

He mused to himself: President Han seems upset tonight. Is it because the company’s stock prices have fallen recently?

Seeing Qin Yun serving Fang Zhou food, Qiao Sisi’s eyes darkened, and she bit into her bacon aggressively.

Fang Zhou had always been like this, never rejecting girls who treated him well.

You could call it gentlemanly, or a people-pleasing personality that can’t say no.

Back then, I shamelessly enjoyed Fang Zhou’s obedience, thinking I would always control the relationship.

But I didn’t realize that such kindness could make someone let their guard down.

Watching herself willingly sink into Fang Zhou’s kindness, unable to extricate herself.

Maybe the saying is true, love is the downfall of free will.

She indulged in Fang Zhou’s kindness and love, enjoying it, so when he left without looking back, she still longed to reclaim that love.

Qiao Sisi gripped her chopsticks tightly, contemplating whether to speed up her actions.

Inside the cabin, Fang Zhou looked down at the steak in his bowl, feeling melancholic.

It had been cut into small bite-sized pieces, very convenient.

It was originally Qin Yun’s steak, she had swapped it with his after cutting it up.

Now she was busy cutting his steak.

He said softly, “You don’t have to do this; I can cut it myself.”

Glancing around, he was relieved there were no cameras. Otherwise, he couldn’t imagine what the viewers would say about him.

Although he didn’t care, the more the haters cursed, the more traffic his live stream got.

But Fang Zhou had a strong premonition that Qin Yun had something to say tonight, something not meant for the public.

Opposite him, Qin Yun wore a black off-shoulder velvet dress, her long curly hair draped over one side, the warm candlelight casting an elegant glow on her face.

“When it comes to handling knives, I think I’m better at it,” Qin Yun smiled slightly, and within a minute, her plate of steak was perfectly sliced.

“Or are you afraid that instead of cutting the steak, I’ll cut your hand?”

Holding it in all day, Qin Yun finally had the chance to ask.

Since that incident, she knew Fang Zhou had been afraid of her, but she didn’t expect that even holding hands would scare him.

If that’s the case, Qin Yun felt she needed to make amends for her mistake.

Otherwise, what if she scared him into impotence?

Fang Zhou looked up sharply, surprised by her words.

The demon king truly lived up to her name, hitting the mark every time.

But even if she guessed right, Fang Zhou wouldn’t admit it.

He forced a smile and said awkwardly, “No, you’re overthinking it.”

Then he speared a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, looking out the window at the sea.

“Since you’re on a dating show, you might want to consider other male guests.”

In other words, stop focusing on me; I won’t change my mind. We’re history.

However, Qin Yun scoffed at this.

She took a sip of wine and looked at Fang Zhou mockingly, “So you want to be with another female guest in front of me?”

Her face was calm, exuding elegance and intellect, but the dark waves in her eyes were turbulent, ready to overflow and engulf Fang Zhou.

“Is it Han Xi you want? Or Chu Xinran?”
