DTBS - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Fool for Love
Lesheng Castle was never short of people. The guests, due to the production team, used a special entrance.
"Wow! This is great!" Wu Shenfeng was very happy. He first looked around at the amusement rides, then hugged the arm of the man beside him, deliberately raising his voice, "Brother Lihe, this is my first time at Lesheng Castle! I've only heard about it before, but I could never make plans to come, it's such a shame~"
"Stop clinging to me, stand up straight!" Jiang Lihe's face darkened, and he swatted away the man who was sticking to him like a fly.
"Brother Lihe, we have to make others think we're a good match," Wu Shenfeng blinked his innocent eyes and continued, "Or are you saying Brother Lihe wants to accept that supposedly terrifying punishment? But Brother Lihe, I don't want to be punished. Look at Sister Qiu and Sister Qin before, that was too miserable. I think we need to be closer."
"Stop pretending to be pitiful, I don't fall for that."
"Brother Lihe, how could I pretend to be pitiful towards you? If we fail the mission, that's when we'll truly be pitiful."
"Stop calling me Brother Lihe every other word, can't you just talk normally? It's annoying to listen to!"
"But you are indeed older than me. I've been a polite and respectful child since I was little. What else should I call you besides Brother Lihe? Then..." Wu Shenfeng thought for a moment and spoke again, "Brother Lihe? Does calling you that make you feel more comfortable, Brother?"
"I!" Jiang Lihe's face was dark, and he strode forward, completely disgusted, no longer wanting to deal with him.
"Brother Lihe! Wait for me! Did I make you angry somewhere? Tell me, I'll definitely change, Brother Lihe!"
Hilarious, he wouldn't change! Not only would he not change, he would call him even sweeter! More 'green tea'! To infuriate him!
Even if he lost 800, what did it matter? He had at least hurt the enemy by 1000!
A net gain of 200, this deal wasn't a loss! He was going to make it big!
【Hahaha, save me, Jiang Lihe's expression is killing me with laughter】
【I suspect Wu Shenfeng is doing it on purpose (dog head)】
【Be bold, remove the suspicion】
【Masters clashing, every move is fatal】
【When the target of the green tea is me (dog head) - Jiang Lihe】
【Thank you, Wu Shenfeng】
"Qiu Yi," Zhou Linwan saw that the woman beside her had been silent and decided to initiate a conversation, "Why did you want to participate in a romance show?"
"To beg for mercy." Tao Qiuyun applied what she learned, using a double entendre that instantly made the bullet screen explode.
【Wait? Shouldn't Sea King Qiu be casting her net and flirting directly at this moment?】
【No one can escape Qin Qingshang (dog head)】
【Hahaha, she's been subdued by Sister Qin so quickly. I'm starting to suspect that Sea King Qiu's target was originally Sister Qin, and sending flowers to everyone was intentional】
【To divert attention, right? I think so too, it's too obvious】
【I don't know if you've noticed, but now it's all celebrity pairs and non-celebrity pairs. I think this is a hint】
Zhou Linwan pursed her lips, just about to start a new topic, when the woman beside her thoughtfully asked back, "What about Miss Zhou? Why did you come to participate in a romance show?"
"It's because my family is rushing me to get married," she looked at Tao Qiuyun, "Qiu Yi, doesn't your family rush you?"
"My situation is more complicated." Tao Qiuyun pondered for a moment and gave this answer.
She couldn't possibly say they weren't rushing her because she was already married.
"Then do you have an ideal type?" Zhou Linwan asked tentatively, after all, this person's appearance was really striking!
"I'm a bit slow to warm up," Tao Qiuyun looked ahead, "It's mainly based on my feelings, I don't have a fixed type I like."
This was true. After all, whether it was the little wild cat type Qin Qingshang from before, or the big cat type Qin Qingshang now, she liked them all very much.
Zhou Linwan felt like she had said something, but also like she hadn't said anything at all. Was this the Sea King's way of talking?
"What about Miss Zhou? What's your ideal type?" Tao Qiuyun also realized her reaction was too cold and she shouldn't talk to her partner today like this. She quickly remedied it.
"I... I actually don't know," Zhou Linwan sighed, her gaze a little complex, "Maybe I've been single for too long, I don't know how I should react when I'm in love anymore, and I don't know what it feels like to like someone specifically."
"That means Miss Zhou doesn't have anyone you like right now," Tao Qiuyun comforted her, "Liking someone is also a process of discovering your true self. You'll worry, you'll reflect, you'll be uncontrollable."
"If Miss Zhou is only thinking about getting married because your family is rushing you, I don't think that's right. Marriage is Miss Zhou's own business. After all, two people have to live together and give up their private space. This is something only you have the right to decide, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"But there are always people who will say, 'You're so old and not married, there must be something wrong with you!'" Zhou Linwan vented her frustration, "But honestly, I'm actually quite afraid of getting married."
"It's a problem not to get married, but there are so many people in this world," Tao Qiuyun smiled, "Many people with problems are also married. Marriage isn't a standard to measure a person by, it can even be said to be optional. The most important thing is Miss Zhou's own feelings."
"Whether to marry? Whether to have children? The future of the children? Who will take care of you in old age? People who want to pressure you will always have countless excuses and reasons, whether intentionally or genuinely thinking for you."
Tao Qiuyun looked at her, her voice steady, "Even with the two of us standing here now, there are definitely mocking comments about us in the live stream. We don't know, so we don't think about these things. Miss Zhou, life is already hard enough. Try to cast aside others' evaluations and live for yourself. Have less negative energy and be happier."
【Ah, I was halfway through cursing the Sea King when I suddenly stopped and deleted the words】
【I'm different, I'll just curse! Sea King, get out of the romance show】
【Actually, what she said makes sense. With less negative energy, wouldn't it be better for everyone to watch the pretty sisters together in harmony?】
【Saying marriage is optional, she just wants to play around and not be responsible for those girls, right?】
【No, you guys are taking advantage of Sister Qin's fans not being here to keep cursing Qiu Yi, right! I really can't stand it anymore. She just sent flowers to every female guest before, she didn't do anything else. Is it really necessary? Randomly popping up and starting to curse, cursing her name, appearance, and actions, won't you stop?】
【I think these people who suddenly appeared are internet trolls (dog head protecting my life)】
【I'll say it directly, these people are just useless trolls in real life!】
【Why don't you go online and confront real Sea Kings, scumbags, and green tea girls? Who came up with the name Sea King Qiu anyway? Is sending flowers to girls considered being a Sea King? It's truly speechless】
【This is a romance show, why did she send flowers if she wasn't interested in them? Lying to ghosts! Disgusting】
【Sister Qiu has fans too!】
【Hilarious, the Sea King has fans? What, are you going to send her grass from a thousand miles away?】
【Ahhhhh, I can't stand it anymore! Why are you always cursing my Sister Qiu 】
【I just want to see pretty sisters interact, can you please stop arguing】
【Doesn't she not care about others' evaluations? Good, when she comes out and sees how she's being cursed online, let's see if her mindset explodes. She's just pretending, I've been annoyed with her for a long time! I'll just curse, I'll just curse】
【Wuwuwu, Sister Qin, someone is bullying Sister Qiu 】
【Hilarious, don't be so emotional, she's stirring up CP with Ming Siwen, why would she care about you?】
Before, most of the CP fans who shipped Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang were there to watch Qin Qingshang. Now that Qin Qingshang had a different partner, the CP fans in the live stream naturally followed. After all, Ming Siwen was also pretty! They just loved watching pretty sisters interact!
Now, most of the people left in Tao Qiuyun's live stream were casual fans attracted by her looks and people who enjoyed watching her outrageous actions, who generally didn't participate in arguments. The small group of CP fans who favored her, even if they argued, couldn't compare in combat power to the contrarians who were constantly fighting online and the netizens who deliberately vented their emotions and attacked anyone they saw.
Soon, the harmonious atmosphere of the bullet screen changed, and it was mostly listing Tao Qiuyun's previous actions, with a wave of curses.
"You're right," Zhou Linwan smiled, "First, be yourself. By the way, among the activities the production team arranged, is there anything you particularly want to play?"
"Rapid River, roller coaster, and drop tower, I'm fine with all three," Tao Qiuyun walked forward, "What about you? Is there anything you're afraid of or don't want to play?"
"I'm fine with those three too. Which one do you think is better to play first?"
"Drop tower." Tao Qiuyun made her choice.
"Ugh—" Ming Siwen covered her mouth uncomfortably, took the bottled water Qin Qingshang handed her, and said weakly, "Thank you."
"If you couldn't handle it, you should have said so earlier." Qin Qingshang sat beside her, feeling helpless.
If Ming Siwen couldn't handle the drop tower, why force herself? Could it be that as a senior, she didn't want to lose face in front of the whole internet?
But isn't looking pale after riding the drop tower even more embarrassing?
Ming Siwen drank the water in small sips, her thoughts churning.
Could she not go?! She looked like she was sneaking and following Tao Qiuyun. If she hadn't occasionally found topics to chat with Qin Qingshang about, she probably would have been spotted by the sharp-eyed netizens in the live stream long ago...
"Miss Ming," Tao Qiuyun saw Qin Qingshang and Ming Siwen while riding the drop tower. She had wanted to talk to them but never had the chance. Now was a good opportunity. She stepped forward and said, "You can lean back against the chair, open your shoulders, and slow your breathing."
"Okay." Ming Siwen did as she was told, muttering, "I think I need to rest for a while. Although my body is here, my soul..."
She reached out and grabbed in front of her, "Is still up there."
Zhou Linwan was amused, "I always thought Miss Ming was a very serious person, I didn't expect you to joke."
"I'm very serious." Ming Siwen closed her eyes.
"Qiuqiu~" A woman suddenly rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Tao Qiuyun's neck, "Long time no see, I've missed you so much... wait? What is this thing?"
Su Qingxiang pointed at the miniature camera above.
Seeing her look at Qin Qingshang, about to say hello, Tao Qiuyun immediately reached out and covered her mouth, dragged her to the side, then turned off her mic and whispered, "Why are you here? Don't talk nonsense, we're live streaming."
"What live stream? Why are you live streaming?" Su Qingxiang was confused.
"Participating in a romance show."
"Wait, it's not that one that's been really popular online... Holy cow, I knew Qin Qingshang was participating, how could you stand it? You came too. Is that 'Sea King Qiu Yi' thing you?"
"Aren't you always on the front lines of internet trends? Why didn't you watch this 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 this time?" Tao Qiuyun was a little curious.
"I've been very busy lately," Su Qingxiang held out her hand and listed them, "Not just hospital matters, but also Chang Suiyou's matters."
"Teacher Chang?"
"Yes," Su Qingxiang leaned into her ear and whispered, "I suspect Chang Suiyou might have dissociative identity disorder."
"Huh?"
"Huh what? Don't not believe me, I saw it with my own eyes! I went to pick up Qinqin from school that day and saw her spacing out by the swing set alone, her expression kept changing, her eyes darting around, like she was talking to someone in her head. I'm a doctor, I'm professional in this area, believe me."
"Baselessly speculating about Teacher Chang without any evidence," Tao Qiuyun disagreed, "That's not good behavior. Besides, what if she's just troubled by some things in her life?"
"How am I baselessly speculating? I'm currently trying to verify it."
Su Qingxiang brushed her hair back and continued, "I've been interacting with her recently, taking this opportunity to ask her many questions. Just think of them as simple little tests."
"I found that there might really be something in her head. She's not a professional actress, and when she made eye contact and talked with me, she still showed flaws. She couldn't hide it from a professional like me. While she was talking to me, she must have been talking to someone else in her head."
"Dissociative identity disorder isn't strange, is it?" Tao Qiuyun frowned, "You're not thinking of studying her, are you? That's very disrespectful to her privacy."
"Aren't I just worried that if her other personality is some kind of violent maniac, she might hurt Qinqin? Then where would you go to cry!"
"It was my oversight," Tao Qiuyun apologized, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"I think she's actually quite nice. I want to build a good relationship with her first, and then persuade her not to avoid seeking medical treatment, to trust doctors, and to receive treatment as soon as possible."
"Does this have anything to do with you coming to Lesheng Castle?"
"Yes, her family arranged a blind date for her today, right here at Lesheng Castle. I came by to take a look."
"You even know this... You don't like her, do you?"
"No! Nonsense! How could that be! I wouldn't like my patient, that's my principle of conduct."
"Cough cough!" Qin Qingshang coughed twice and asked curiously, "Are you done with your whispers? Qiuqiu, are you going to leave your partner neglected here?"
After speaking, she looked at Zhou Linwan, "Right? Their whispers are taking too long."
Damn it, I want to listen too! Is there anything I can't hear?
The cat was dissatisfied.
Zhou Linwan: ?
Ming Siwen: Tsk!
What are these two playing at...
Wait, Qin Qingshang, she really doesn't seem to have realized that she also likes Tao Qiuyun.
No, you even stepped forward to take a hit for her! Can't you think carefully about why you stepped forward?
Speechless, what kind of love fools are these two!
