Chapter 74: The New Guest Presents Flowers

After the introductions, the director arranged the next segment.

“Please choose a guest to present your bouquet to.”

The director’s voice echoed through the spacious living room, and everyone’s eyes focused on the small bouquet of daisies in Zhang Zhiyin’s hand.

Is the new guest going to start off with something this exciting?

Does presenting the flowers mean she’s choosing the guest who made the best first impression on her?

The male guests immediately began to lament internally: This isn’t fair! It’s not just about looks!

I haven’t even had the chance to show off my amazing qualities! Look at me, I’ve got money! Notice me!

The female guests also turned serious, realizing the new guest was about to make a bold move.

This is a different game, director!

Zhang Zhiyin smiled and nodded, her gaze sweeping over all the male guests, and said softly, “I’ve made my decision.”

The live chat erupted, with a flood of screams filling the stream.

“Ahhhhh! Who will be her crush?”

“I think it’s going to be Fang Zhou. After all, he’s the most handsome here. Of course, she’ll pick the best-looking one!”

“Not necessarily. What if Zhang Zhiyin did some background research before coming on the show? She might choose the richest one.”

“She’s a genius author with millions of book sales. Would she care about a few men’s money? Of course, she would choose the one she likes!”

Everyone held their breath, waiting to see who Zhang Zhiyin would choose.

Fang Zhou initially didn’t think much of it, but the problem was, Zhang Zhiyin’s gaze seemed to be directed at him?

He turned to look beside him, where the race car driver Qi Le stood—a somewhat handsome, spirited man.

It must be him she’s looking at, right?

Fang Zhou consoled himself: It couldn’t be me. She was so resolute yesterday; she wouldn’t give the flowers to me.

Even though I’m indeed the most handsome here, self-awareness is important.

With Zhang Zhiyin’s current status, why would she choose me?

Thinking this, Fang Zhou relaxed.

It surely wouldn’t be him. No need to stress.

However, as Zhang Zhiyin walked towards his direction, Fang Zhou felt less certain.

What? No way, is she really coming for me?

Zhang Zhiyin’s gaze stayed on Fang Zhou, and as she got closer, their eyes met, her smile deepening.

Fang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. He silently chanted: You can’t see me, you can’t see me.

Unfortunately, cyber-spells didn’t work. What’s meant to come will come.

As the pleasant scent of her perfume wafted over, the bouquet of white daisies was presented in front of him.

“I think it’s best to give this bouquet to my good friend first.”

Zhang Zhiyin smiled gently, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness, making her seem even cuter.

Her words stunned many of the guests.

“What? You guys are good friends? I’ve never heard of this!”

Liu Hao scratched his head, curious and excited.

His eyes darted around Fang Zhou. Who knew this guy had hidden depths!

Since they were good friends before, they wouldn’t become a couple on the dating show, right?

So, does this mean he could get close to Fang Zhou and seize the opportunity?

The more Liu Hao thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes almost glowing as he looked at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou felt a chill down his spine, sensing everyone’s eyes on him, including a few cold stares shooting daggers.

“Yes, we were classmates in high school.”

Before Fang Zhou could reply, Zhang Zhiyin answered Liu Hao’s question.

Someone came over and patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder, winking, “You’ve hidden well! Having a famous author as a friend!”

Fang Zhou chuckled awkwardly, giving a perfunctory response, “No one asked, so I didn’t say.”

What troubled him more was why Zhang Zhiyin suddenly revealed their relationship to everyone.

He thought she would pretend not to know him, like his other ex-girlfriends.

Starting with a big move, Fang Zhou had no choice but to respond.

With so many people watching, he couldn’t embarrass a girl.

Ignoring the gazes from Chu Xinran, Han Xi, and others, he reached out to take the daisies, smiling.

“Then I’ll humbly accept!”

Some people clapped and cheered, while others looked at them with complex expressions.

Someone else, smiling, approached Zhang Zhiyin and teased, “Did you come on the show for Fang Zhou?”

The speaker was Qin Yun, dressed in a black dress today. The silky fabric outlined her alluring curves, paired with exquisite makeup.

Standing next to the fresh Zhang Zhiyin, they were two contrasting styles, like a passionate rose meeting an elegant daisy, each with their charm.

However, her words always made people’s imaginations run wild.

“Wow, I think Qin Yun has a point! Did Zhang Zhiyin come on the show for Fang Zhou?”

“The once-hidden admirer sees her beloved join a dating show, encountering various beauties, and rushes to buy a ticket to join the show! I’ve already imagined a whole novel!”

“The one above! Here’s a pen, you write it! This secret love is too good to pass up!”

“Waiting for it! Kick me when the book is out!”

“Waiting for it +1”

…

The live stream, which initially had only a hundred thousand viewers, surged to nearly a million as soon as Zhang Zhiyin appeared!

The special effects filled the screen, with countless “Zhang Zhiyin” flashing across, shooting to the top trending spot.

Many viewers, upon entering, heard the few exchanges, especially Qin Yun’s suggestive question, pushing the stream to its peak.

Qin Yun’s fatal question left all the guests stunned, turning to Zhang Zhiyin, awaiting her response.

Could it be? Did Zhang Zhiyin join the dating show for Fang Zhou? This could get interesting!

Standing at a distance, Qiao Sisi’s face turned expressionless, recalling Fang Zhou’s intimate gestures yesterday, feeling a mix of emotions.

Who helps wipe an opposite-sex friend’s tears like that?
