“As the director of《Let’s Date》, I am very grateful that everyone could come to participate in this variety program of mine. Thank you so much. Before this, I have contacted you all so I’m sure that everyone should have a basic understanding of the nature of this program. However, please rest assured, during the later stage of production, we won’t be doing any random editing. Also, although this program has no script, there is one request, for you to treat your significant other as if they were your own real partner and interact with them. If everyone has any opinions or parts which you don’t understand, feel free to ask me.”
“Director Wang, how will it be filmed?” A cold and elegant woman with red lipstick beside Lu Yao asked.
“It’s like this, our filming crew have installed cameras in everyone’s room. But don’t worry, they are not installed in the restrooms. Also, during the daytime, there will be two cameramen entering the house to film. Of course, for that, we will be asking for your permission to film. If the situation is inconvenient for filming to take place, none of our filming crew will enter your rooms to film.”
Many people nodded in approval.
“Is there anything else you all would like to ask?”
No one replied.
Ji Qingqing smiled and asked, “Director Wang, are the couples here preassigned beforehand?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Of course, they are. We obviously cannot let them be decided by drawing lots, right? After all, this program doesn’t consist of all fake couples. There are two pairs who are real couples.”
Real couples?
Ji Qingqing looked around. Amongst the guests present, apart from Chen Shuyi and Lin Zhen who were already married, the others should be fake couples. Where did the other real couple pair come from?
“Then who is my boyfriend?”
Director Wang was surprised. “You don’t know who he is?”
“I believe you didn’t tell me about him prior to coming.”
Hearing that Director Wang laughed. “Oh, no wonder, so that’s the case. I thought you knew. Your boyfriend is…”
The knocking sound from the door interrupted what Director Wang was about to say.
“Please enter.”
The door opened and a man and lady walked together side by side, entering the resting area.
Upon seeing them the moment the door opened, Ji Qingqing’s brow knitted.
Weren’t those two people not on the guest list? Why have they come?
The people who entered the room were none other than Shen Weiwei and Ji Qingqing’s ex-boyfriend Gu Shaoyu.
With Shen Weiwei’s popularity, it’s unlikely for her to be invited to attend this program. The only reason for her coming was pretty much largely attributed to Gu Shaoyu.
But given that Shen Weiwei is participating in this program with Gu Shaoyu, is she not worried that Lu Liting would overthink?
Shen Weiwei apologized to Director Wang very sincerely. “Director, I’m really sorry. There was a traffic jam on our way here, which is why we came late.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No worries, we didn’t wait long. Have a seat.”
Shen Weiwei looked really close to Gu Shaoyu. The two of them talked and laughed between themselves and went to one side of the sofa to sit down.
“Hi everyone, I’m Shen Weiwei. I’m very honored to be able to participate in this variety program with everyone here!” Shen Weiwei smiled and looked at the woman beside her. “Sister Qiao An, it’s great to see you here today.”
Qian An had a charismatic vibe to her appearance which was very mature and older sister-like. She smiled and en-ed in reply. Even though she did not speak, one couldn’t sense any haughtiness or coldness from her; her attitude was very warm.
Gu Shaoyu’s gaze was mostly focused on Shen Weiwei and he viewed it like other people present didn’t exist. Upon glancing at Ji Qingqing, he swiftly moved his gaze as if she was a terrible eyesore.
“Oh right, let me repeat the answer to Miss Ji’s question.” Director Wang brought out a whiteboard and said, “This time our program will be having five pairs of guest couples. Regardless of whether they’re real or fake, I hope that everyone will show their most real selves in front of the camera. As for the assigned pairs, they include: Lu Yao and Zhang Lala one group, Chen Shuyi and Lin Zhen in one group, Shen Weiwei and Gu Shaoyu in one group, Gu Feifan and Qiao An in one group, and for Ji Qingqing, you’re with Lu…”
Director Wang was interrupted once more and the resting area’s door that was left ajar pushed open.
“We’re together in the same group.”
Those six words pierced through the thin, tension-filled air and entered everyone’s ears. It was low, charismatic, and very much penetrating.
Ji Qingqing’s heart jumped and she gazed at the door in utter disbelief.
Lu Lixing was dressed in a black suit, accompanied with leather shoes. He casually stood at the entrance and with a composed gaze, he quietly stared at her.
