DTBS - Chapter 82
Chapter 82: Kitty Satisfied
"Our trip to the amusement park has ended. How does everyone feel?" The host looked at the ten guests who had returned to the villa and smiled politely. "I believe everyone had a fulfilling day. Although I know everyone worked hard on the tasks, unfortunately, there are still teams among our guests who did not complete the mission."
As she spoke, the host looked at Jiang Lihe and Wu Shenfeng and sighed, "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Jiang Lihe and Mr. Wu Shenfeng did not complete the mission and need to accept the program team's punishment."
The cat, who had been lounging listlessly on the sofa, immediately sat up and perked her ears when she heard Jiang Lihe was going to be punished.
Jiang Lihe glanced at Qin Qingshang, a smile playing on his lips, looking fearless. "Tell me, what's the punishment? Whether it's physical labor or mental work, I'm not afraid."
Such was the confidence of an old-school romance novel male lead.
"Alright, since our Mr. Jiang Lihe is full of energy and seems quite eager, I won't keep you in suspense," the host said with a mysterious smile. "The failed teams will each princess carry the other for ten seconds and take a commemorative photo in our photo area."
Jiang Lihe's confident expression instantly became as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. Wu Shenfeng's mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying hard to control his expression.
The other guests breathed a sigh of relief.
【Hahahaha, what's wrong, Brother Wu? Didn't you call him Brother Lihe so sweetly before?】
【LOL, the director knows how to make the guests cringe. They didn't complete the mission, which clearly means they don't feel anything for each other, and now they have to princess carry each other.】
"We didn't complete the mission precisely because we didn't want to have deeper contact," Jiang Lihe couldn't stand it anymore and voiced his opinion. "Now you're making us princess carry each other, isn't that a bit much?"
"The director said," the host responded smoothly, "If it made you feel comfortable, it wouldn't be a punishment. Furthermore, the director hopes that all guests can get along harmoniously. Even if you don't end up as couples, it's best to become friends. So, a hug will enhance everyone's friendship."
"It's okay, Brother Lihe," Wu Shenfeng made his move. "Don't look at me being thin and small compared to you. I'm toned under my clothes, I have a habit of working out. I can definitely carry you, Brother Lihe, please believe me. I'll carry you first."
He kept calling him Brother Lihe, making Jiang Lihe's scalp tingle, wishing he could punch him. But considering it was a live broadcast and his image, he could only swallow his frustration, brace himself to princess carry Wu Shenfeng, and then be carried by Wu Shenfeng with a dark face.
Jiang Lihe clenched his fists...
Next time, he would absolutely not be on the same team as this scheming guy!
As for the reward, Qin Qingshang guessed correctly; it was unlimited passes for Lesheng Castle. The comments section was filled with people calling the director shameless, which made the director in the observation room pound the table loudly.
Director: One plot twist, one fortune teller. You two should get married early and go to the wife-wife reality show next door, don't come and ruin our romance reality show.
After dinner, the host appeared again.
She was beaming, full of energy. "Unknowingly, everyone has been living and eating together for almost three days. We believe that all guests should have a deeper understanding of each other. Perhaps some of you have already taken a liking to each other and are eager to start a romantic and sweet relationship."
"After the tense and exciting Werewolf game, working together in the escape room, and spending a joyful time at the amusement park today, I believe everyone's initial feelings have formed. Our romance reality show is about to officially open the chapter called 'Love'."
"Next, we will once again distribute heart-fluttering letters to everyone, but this time, on the heart-fluttering letter, you won't write the name of the guest you wish to partner with, but rather..."
Seeing the staff distribute paper and envelopes to each guest, the host smiled and continued, "Write a one-sentence invitation letter to the guest who makes your heart flutter. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of reunion, and also a romantic night to admire the bright moon with your beloved."
"The rules are simple: write one sentence, remember, only one sentence, stating that you want to go on a date with her/him tomorrow. Put it in the envelope, write the name of the person who makes your heart flutter, remember not to sign your name inside or outside the letter, and then hand it to the program team. We will deliver the letters to the person who makes your heart flutter the next morning. If the person who makes your heart flutter accepts your invitation, they will read your letter aloud."
At this point, the host blinked. "It will be read aloud, so don't write anything too outrageous, be careful of social death."
"If you both choose each other, then you two will be locked in. You will go on a date all day tomorrow until midnight. As for how you will date, the program team will tell you after you are locked in tomorrow."
"What if the person I choose," Meng Wuzhong raised his hand to ask, "doesn't choose me? What happens in that situation?"
"What if I don't receive an invitation letter?" Wu Shenfeng was very scared.
"Please don't worry about any questions, they will all be answered tomorrow," the host smiled appropriately. "After all, we have ten guests, we can always find pairs for everyone."
Wu Shenfeng: If I'm still paired with Jiang Lihe, I hope I don't get a partner.
"Alright," the host looked at the ten guests sitting at the long table. "Everyone can start writing."
【Wow! Exciting! How to find out whose letter is whose, that's the highlight!】
【What's so hard about that? You can tell by the handwriting!】
【To the previous comment, recognizing handwriting works for people you know well, but do you think they are familiar with each other's handwriting?】
【Hahahaha, I just think it's exciting if a guest invites someone they like, but that person has already invited someone else! Bring on more of this love triangle chaos!】
【I say Qiuqiu and Qin Qingshang will definitely go on a date tomorrow, no one can argue with that, right?】
【Why should Sister Qin invite Qiu Sea King? Can't she be with Sister Ming? They are so compatible, rivals on the surface, lovers in private, so sweet!】
【I'm worried now, will Sister Qiu invite Zhou Linwan? After all, I think their conversations were quite harmonious.】
【Which girl does Qiu Sea King not talk to nicely?】
【Hahahaha, I have a feeling our Qiu-Qin CP will be super sweet tomorrow!】
【I'm the Werewolf, I'll kill the Seer tonight!】
【Sister Qin spinning her pen is so cool, I wonder who Sister Qin will write to.】
【I'm really speechless, they are so obvious, yet they are still pretending to be blind? I bet 50 cents Sister Qin will definitely invite Qiuqiu.】
【Only 50 cents? If they don't go on a date tomorrow, I'll eat this computer screen right here!】
Tao Qiuyun stared at the letter paper in front of her, falling into deep thought...
The recipient didn't need any consideration, it must be Qin Qingshang. And tomorrow was a special day, she didn't want to go on a date with anyone other than Qin Qingshang.
If Qin Qingshang knew it was her inviting her, maybe the big cat would choose her out of consideration for their contractual marriage. But the biggest problem now was that the letter was completely anonymous. How could she let Qin Qingshang know this letter was written by her, and how could she identify who wrote the letter she received?
The chosen letter would be read aloud, and the entire live stream would know, so she couldn't write anything too direct.
After much thought, Tao Qiuyun looked at the cat across from her who was writing furiously, and finally picked up her pen...
Since that was the case, she would write something only the two of them knew.
The next day, as soon as breakfast was placed on the table, the two hosts appeared with ten envelopes, smiling.
"Ahem!" Clearing her throat as if to build suspense, the female host shook the envelopes in her hand and smiled, "It's time to reveal today's invitations. Does everyone want to guess who received the most invitation letters?"
"It must be Qingshang." Jiang Lihe looked at Qin Qingshang gently.
Then he noticed the woman was poking the Wotou in her bowl and wasn't looking at him at all.
Jiang Lihe: ...Even so, the way she pokes things is also very attractive.
Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips, then reached out and took the Wotou from her bowl. "I'll trade you for a brown sugar steamed bun, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Qiuqiu~" The cat happily took the brown sugar steamed bun.
"You're welcome." Tao Qiuyun's cheeks were slightly warm, her tied-up hair couldn't hide her shyness, so she lowered her head and nibbled on the Wotou, pretending to be indifferent.
It was strange, it seemed like ever since the haunted house yesterday, Qin Qingshang had changed. Her voice was sweet, making people...
Her eyes deepened slightly.
Blushing, ears hot, heart racing.
"Hahaha, is it Qingshang? We'll know right away," the host picked up the envelopes in her hand. "First, let's announce the guest who received the most invitation letters. She received a total of three invitation letters. She is Qin Qingshang... across from her, Ding Yuyan!"
【Good heavens, a sudden turn, huh!】
【LOL, watching Sister Ding's expression change from eating melon to shock right before my eyes.】
【Hahahaha, this season's guests are all comedians!】
【Nonsense, my Sister Qiu is so proper, never funny.】
【Yes, Qiu Sea King isn't funny, she usually messes with people's minds.】
【Praying in advance that if Sister Qiu and Sister Qin are together, she turns mute today.】
"I actually have three?" Ding Yuyan was greatly shocked and accepted the letters from the male host with trepidation.
"Next are our Ming Siwen and Qin Qingshang, you two each received two letters."
"Finally, Meng Wuzhong, Qiuqiu, and Zhou Linwan, each received one invitation letter."
"I actually got one?" Meng Wuzhong was shocked.
"Guests who have received letters, please read your letters now. Remember, if there is an invitation from someone who makes your heart flutter, you should choose that invitation letter and read it aloud. If you are unwilling to accept, then refuse all of them. But if you guess wrong, you won't have the chance to continue dating the letter writer later."
After saying this, the female host paused and continued, "Also, guests who did not receive letters, please don't be anxious, wait patiently for the choice of the person who makes their heart flutter."
Ming Siwen opened the letters...
The first letter: Hope we can work hard together today~ Siwen O3O
The delicate handwriting, plus this address and emoticon, should be from Ding Yuyan.
After all, the male artist guests probably wouldn't use such a direct kissing emoticon with her. As for the non-celebrities, Jiang Lihe's target was Qin Qingshang. Even if Wu Shenfeng's target was her, he wouldn't call her Siwen directly; he would probably write Sister Siwen or Sister Ming. As for the female guests, Qin Qingshang and Tao Qiuyun couldn't even figure out their own feelings, so they probably wouldn't have the energy to get involved with a third party. Zhou Linwan was also a slow-to-warm-up person, so...
It could only be Ding Yuyan.
The woman's expression was calm as she continued to open the second letter:
Siwen, I hope I can call you that. It was very nice chatting with you. Can we continue today?
Okay, this one was Zhou Linwan.
Ming Siwen pursed her lips and thought. Getting involved with Ding Yuyan, who was an actress, would definitely be good, especially since her company was quite strong. But... Zhou Linwan was clearly interested in women. If she locked in with Ding Yuyan, and Qin Qingshang and Tao Qiuyun were definitely going to choose each other, wouldn't she be stuck with a man? In that case, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, right?
So, she put away Ding Yuyan's letter and pressed down on Zhou Linwan's invitation with her hand.
The woman's red lips curved upwards. Actually, this was quite good. Zhou Linwan was very perceptive and had a clear head. Dating someone like that would be hassle-free.
Ding Yuyan opened the letters...
The first letter: Hope to work together with Sister Yuyan again.
This was clearly Ai Yi, who was also from the 《White Robed Minister》 cast.
The second letter: I'd like to collaborate with someone like Miss Ding once. Can I have this opportunity?
The tone of an old cadre, most likely Bai Yunquan.
The third letter: I lost to you at Whac-A-Mole. Can we compete again today?
Obviously, this was Meng Wuzhong, who went to the amusement park with her yesterday.
Ding Yuyan chose Bai Yunquan's letter. It wasn't because she had feelings for him or anything, it was purely a multiple-choice question, and she chose the longest answer.
As for not choosing, that was impossible. It was all about social etiquette.
Meng Wuzhong opened the letter:
Brother Meng, hope we have a pleasant time today (sneaky like a dog)
Among these guests, the only one who would describe himself as a dog was probably Wu Shenfeng, who thought of himself as a little wolfdog.
Meng Wuzhong was shocked: Has this kid been driven crazy by Jiang Lihe?
But that made sense. If he ended up being paired with Jiang Lihe, it would be better to lock in with Wu Shenfeng first.
Zhou Linwan opened the letter, flattered:
Can I buy you a cup of coffee and chat about the story of one life, one couple?
It was Ming Siwen!
She almost subconsciously looked at Ming Siwen. The female star still looked bright and elegant, and when she looked over, Ming Siwen gave her a meaningful smile.
Zhou Linwan couldn't help but fall into thought...
Did Ming Siwen choose her because she was sure she couldn't ship with Qin Qingshang? But weren't there also Ding Yuyan or other male artists? She specifically chose a non-celebrity, and a woman with a clear sexual orientation. Wasn't she afraid of being criticized?
After all, she probably had many boyfriend fans.
Tao Qiuyun opened the letter:
Want to take you to see fireworks OvO
She smiled, like a spring morning.
It was Qin Qingshang.
The cat sitting across from Tao Qiuyun opened the letters with a serious expression...
The first letter: Qingshang, I want to be with you...
Okay, no need to read the rest. This was clearly not written by Tao Qiuyun. Who it was didn't matter, next letter.
The second letter was very simple, in familiar handwriting, two English words:
Sweet Heart
Hmph! Although I know you might just be trying to indicate who you are, but...
I'm still very happy.
The woman's expression was a half-smile, desperately suppressing the upward curve of her lips, like a cat that was clearly very happy but pretending to be aloof.
Actually, Tao Qiuyun didn't need to write such private things at all. After all, she had submitted so many reports, and she had long memorized her handwriting.
However...
I'll just pretend you're calling me that!
The cat was satisfied.
