DTBS - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: The Cat's Plan

Qin Qingshang's embarrassment and frustration were resolved by the host. Wang Lulu walked into the living room with a spring breeze-like smile. "All ten guests of 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 have finally arrived! After yesterday's dates, I believe everyone's feelings must have deepened, right? Following the game's pattern, we will now leave our newbie village and head to a larger map to fight monsters and level up, thereby forging deeper bonds."

After speaking, she looked at the camera and continued, "First, a preview for everyone: next, we're going to the seaside! Doesn't everyone think that's exciting and feel thrilled about it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the online comments section exploded:

【Oh oh oh oh the beach! Swimsuits!】

【Sister Qin, Sister Ming, Sister Ding's figures, just thinking about them makes me drool】

【Ah ah ah ah ah surfing! Diving! So cool, so cool!】

【Beauties! Beauties! Will there be pretty passersby sisters appearing?】

【Is no one paying attention to the handsome guys? I think Jiang Lihe and Meng Wuzhong must have great bodies】

【Hehe, our Screenwriter Bai is the one who's secretly amazing】

【Sister Qiu! Sister Qiu! When she was in the water-spraying escape room wearing a wet shirt, she was so alluring (drooling)】

【I want to see the little couple playing in the water】

【I want to see the little couple having a water fight】

【Um... that water fight... is it... actual water? (scratching head in confusion)】

【What are you implying!】

【Hahahahahaha, save me】

"So, let's first ask our ten guests what their thoughts are on the upcoming sea trip." Wang Lulu looked at Ming Siwen and said with a smile, "Let's start with my old friend Siwen. Siwen, what do you think of when you hear 'going to the seaside'?"

"Coconuts," Ming Siwen said seriously.

"Hahahaha, our Siwen still has a soft spot for coconut juice! She hasn't changed a bit over the years." Wang Lulu naturally knew she loved coconut juice and used this to portray her as someone with enduring affections.

"How about Miss Zhou?" Wang Lulu tossed the question to Zhou Linwan.

"I think of cameras."

"Ah? Why cameras?"

Zhou Linwan thought for a moment. "Probably because scenery like the ocean is very suitable for capturing and appreciating slowly."

After getting her answer, the host asked the others one by one.

Bai Yunquan: I think of seafood. Seafood by the sea should be very cheap, right?

Meng Wuzhong: I thought of surfing. Surfing against the wind under the sun, it's very refreshing.

Ai Yi: I want to lie down and sunbathe, just under a sun umbrella. I'll definitely get a good sleep.

Wu Shenfeng: I want to play beach volleyball with the older brothers and sisters.

Jiang Lihe: (His answer is not important, it's nonsense)

【Ai Yi is hilarious, saying sunbathing but wanting to sleep under a sun umbrella, what exactly do you want to do】

【Ai Yi is really good at slacking off, hahahaha】

【He said from the beginning that he only came because the production team paid him a lot. If he can make money by lying down, why bother with acting (dog head)】

With three guests remaining, Wang Lulu decided to let the little couple finish last, so she first asked Ding Yuyan, "Sister Yuyan, what do you think of when you hear 'the ocean'?"

"I think of a cruise ship hitting an iceberg." Ding Yuyan shook her head. "Really, I know the scene of embracing on the deck is beautiful, and many love stories like to use it, but I hope the production team doesn't make us go on a cruise ship. After all, if it really hits an iceberg... I probably can't swim very far."

Production team: ...

"Hahaha, Sister Yuyan is really good at joking," Wang Lulu laughed, breaking the silent atmosphere, and turned her gaze to Qin Qingshang: "What about our Qingshang and Qiuqiu? When you think of the ocean, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Is it also the romantic scene of embracing on the deck that Sister Yuyan just mentioned?"

"I want to see fish!" Qin Qingshang said excitedly. "I heard there are many strange-looking fish underwater. I want to see them."

"Ah?" Wang Lulu clearly didn't expect such an answer, describing diving in such an unusual way. "It seems Qingshang has been terribly oppressed by Director Ning, she's even thinking of seeing fish when she comes to a romance reality show!"

"What about Qiuqiu?" She turned her gaze to Tao Qiuyun.

"Bars," Tao Qiuyun thought for a moment before giving this answer.

"Ah~ So our Qiuqiu is thinking of going to bars!" Wang Lulu smiled and nodded, then turned to the camera and said, "We need to fly the guests to the seaside first, so our live stream will close for now. See you all later~"

The live stream closed, but the audience's enthusiasm didn't diminish at all, they were frantically typing comments:

【So why is Sister Qiu going to a bar?】

【Hunting for romance?】

【No way, no way】

【Only improper girls go to bars, Qiuqiu is indeed not a respectable woman】

【The person above lost their mind, do you need me to help you find it?】

After ending the live broadcast, Wang Lulu finally looked at Jiang Lihe and said seriously, "Mr. Jiang, the production team hopes you can restrain yourself a bit. After all, this is a live broadcast, and your unrestrained actions will bring a bad influence to the show."

"Bad influence?" Jiang Lihe sat on the sofa, his expression arrogant. "Will the show's bad influence affect me?"

He stood up, looked at Wang Lulu, and smiled nonchalantly, "Unfortunately, it won't."

The guests who didn't know his identity looked at each other, all thinking Jiang Lihe was being overly ridiculous.

"Mr. Jiang..."

"Don't say anymore," Jiang Lihe interrupted Wang Lulu. "Will the production team make me leave? No, because they know very well, even if Chunjin is behind this show, so what? Everyone knows clearly, can you get involved with Tao Qiuyun just by one show or one investment?"

"If you could, why would there be so many people who want to build connections with CEO Tao but have no way," the man looked at Qin Qingshang, "You're the same. Yes, you signed with Fuyao, but do you think people in the industry give Fuyao face because of Tao Zhuohua? It's because Chunjin stands behind Fuyao!"

"Tao Qiuyun can smile and call others uncle, then turn around and throw them in prison. Do you think she'd have much affection for this younger brother she doesn't have much feeling for?" As soon as Jiang Lihe mentioned Tao Zhuohua, he was filled with envy and jealousy, but even more with the anger of being stepped on by an old enemy. "If he's wronged, he'll just wag his tail in front of his sister, but do you think someone like CEO Tao would bother much with entertainment industry matters? No!"

"Her eyes are on business, her heart is on meetings, her mind is full of making money. She's a businesswoman, essentially cold and heartless. How many people in the industry have even met her? Even if she stood in front of you right now, you might not recognize her!"

Ming Siwen pursed her lips, trying not to laugh...

Yes, you wouldn't recognize CEO Tao even if she stood in front of you.

"And I, Jiang Lihe," Jiang Lihe was used to things going smoothly since childhood and was still immersed in his own world, "Sufeng, the Jiang family, are the ones rooted in the entertainment industry. Everyone understands that the Jiang family is who they need to desperately try to win over."

Bai Yunquan: Ah, he's the CEO of Sufeng!

Meng Wuzhong: The Sufeng that terminated the contract with Qingshang?

Ai Yi: As expected, not a good person.

Wu Shenfeng: Next time I'll call him Brother He, that'll gross him out.

Zhou Linwan: Psycho.

The little cat tugged at the sleeve of the woman beside her, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, "Qiuqiu, he said you're cold and heartless, your eyes are on business, your heart is on meetings, and your mind is full of making money!"

"He's talking nonsense," Tao Qiuyun also lowered her voice and whispered back to the little cat, not taking Jiang Lihe's sudden outburst seriously at all. "Maybe that was true before, but not now."

"Really?" The little cat expressed doubt.

"Of course it's true," the woman leaned closer to her ear and said gently, "Now my eyes are on you, my heart is on you, and my mind is full of you."

"You're so annoying!" Qin Qingshang reached out and pushed her, blushing. "How did you suddenly become so good with words? You're smooth-talking and shameless!"

"I always speak the truth," Tao Qiuyun smiled and pulled her into her arms. "Do you think I couldn't talk before?"

"Hmph!" The little cat ignored her.

Seeing that the two of them were flirting and teasing and not listening to him at all, Jiang Lihe stopped trying to reason with Qin Qingshang. He angrily flicked his sleeve and left.

He had nothing more to say to these two. After the romance reality show ended, Sufeng would make Qin Qingshang suffer a huge setback!

"Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun suddenly remembered something important and asked, "Do I still need to report to you before I touch you?"

"...Yes, you do!" Qin Qingshang gritted her teeth, muddled with anger.

I just praised you, Tao Qiuyun, and you really can't be praised at all!

"Okay, then Qingshang, I hugged you just now because it was an instinctive action. I really wanted to hug you. Is this explanation acceptable?"

"No!" The little cat was angry. "What? Can't you control yourself?"

"Okay, I'll try hard to control myself." Tao Qiuyun let go of her.

"..." The little cat was stunned.

Ah ah ah ah ah! I'm going to die of anger!

"Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun lowered her eyes slightly and asked softly, "Then how can I hug you?"

"Figure it out yourself!" The little cat pushed her away and ran over to Ding Yuyan.

Tao Qiuyun fell into deep thought.

The plane streaked across the sky, and the 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 production team changed maps.

On the way to the hotel room...

"Are you and CEO Tao together?" Ming Siwen walked a few steps forward, walking alongside the sulking Qin Qingshang. "What did I say back then? You two really do have private interactions."

"Yes, I'm with her, so you don't have a chance." Qin Qingshang walked forward with her luggage, looking straight ahead.

"Don't be so hostile, I'm here to offer my allegiance." Ming Siwen got straight to the point. "There seems to be a little problem between you two. Do you need my help?"

"No need, thank you." Qin Qingshang wasn't willing to accept her favor.

"Okay, but if you want to vent your troubles or seek advice later, you can always find me," Ming Siwen smiled. "After all, we've been together on set for so long, and you understand my current situation. I won't betray you, and I certainly wouldn't dare to betray CEO Tao."

"What if you make a comeback later?" Qin Qingshang stopped and turned to look at her.

"I'm not an ungrateful person." Ming Siwen said seriously, "Even if you break up with Tao Qiuyun in the future, as long as you don't want to talk about it, I will keep the fact that you dated CEO Tao buried inside."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" The little cat was angry. "I won't break up with her! You're actually cursing me! Ming Siwen, I knew you had bad intentions!"

Ming Siwen: "..."

Fine, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!

Ming Siwen, who had actively shown goodwill, didn't get a good reaction from the little cat, but she wasn't planning to give up. She would approach this with the spirit of persistent effort to gain Qin Qingshang's trust.

The night they checked into the hotel, just as Ming Siwen finished unpacking, Qin Qingshang knocked on her door. As she had just opened the door a crack, the woman outside nimbly squeezed in.

Ming Siwen: ...Wait, is she a cat?

"Ming Siwen, I've carefully considered your suggestion. I think, between Tao Qiuyun and me, we might indeed need a relationship consultant." Qin Qingshang looked serious.

The little cat's No Divorce and Relationship Manual is now officially renamed: 《Make Qiuqiu Take the Initiative, Cat's Seduction Plan》. The first step is...
