“Let’s start with those who got short sticks, shall we? I’ll go first.” Lu Shi’s gaze flicked toward Xia Xin, making it abundantly clear that she was his target for
the moment.
“So, what do y’all wanna know about me?” Lu Shi inquired, eyes filled with anticipation.
Everyone remained silent. Slightly puzzled, Lu Shi’s eyes settled on Xia Xin,
“Ladies, Ms. Xia, Ms. Zhou, and Ms. Tian, got anything you’re curious about? Since I got the short stick, I have to tell the truth. I’m an open book right now.”
Xia Xin stayed quiet, displaying no interest in Lu Shi’s true confessions. Zhou Lian also refrained from speaking, her furrowed brow indicating a similar lack of interest. Tian Mei, on the other hand, was clearly thrilled. She chirped, “Well then, Lu Shi, what type of girl do you like? Is there anyone here you’ve got your eye on? Who is it?” novelbuddy(.)com
Lu Shi smiled approvingly at Tian Mei’s question, but said, “Sweetheart, that’s three questions you got there. How ’bout I answer two of ’em for ya? I fancy girls who are gentle and cute. Yes, there’s someone here that I like.”
Hearing that, Tian Mei’s cheeks flushed a brilliant shade of red. She thought Lu Shi was admitting that he liked her. If Lu Shi could read her mind, he would probably laugh in disbelief. Tian Mei was anything but gentle and cute; one had to wonder where she got her delusions.
“Oh my, you’re quite straightforward, aren’t ya, Lu Shi?” Tian Mei giggled.
The rest of the people present didn’t quite know what to say. It was evident that Lu Shi wasn’t talking about Tian Mei; she was a far cry from gentle and cute. Tian Mei had cultivated this persona of a naive, innocent little miss, but no one was buying it. Xia Xin couldn’t care less about deciphering who Lu Shi was attracted to—it was irrelevant to her.
“I’ve answered, now it’s your turn, ladies,” Lu Shi said, grinning at Xia Xin and Zhou Lian. “Who wants to go first?”
“I’ll go,” Xia Xin said curtly. She wasn’t fond of the game and wanted it over with as quickly as possible.
“Alright then, Xia Xin, among the three gentlemen here, is there anyone who tickles your fancy?” Lu Shi questioned. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢
“Yes,” Xia Xin answered without hesitation. She was thinking of Jing MO, although she kept that part to herself.
Lu Shi’s lips curled into a pleased smile, convinced that Xia Xin’s affection was directed towards him.
“Your turn, Zhou Lian,” Lu Shi turned his attention to Zhou Lian, noticeably less intrigued.
“Among the three men here, is there anyone who catches your eye?” Lu Shi asked.
“No,” Zhou Lian replied curtly.
For a moment, Lu Shi wondered if he had misheard. ‘Zhou Lian didn’t like me?’
Lu Shi looked at Zhou Lian, who turned her face away, clearly uninterested in engaging with him.
“You’ll get a penalty if you lied.” Lu Shi warned.
Once upon a time, Zhou Lian had been Lu Shi’s girlfriend. He still vividly remembered her despondent state after their breakup, as if she couldn’t go on without him. He didn’t expect her to have moved on so quickly.
“Prove it,” Zhou Lian retorted. “The burden of proof lies on the accuser.”
Lu Shi smirked. He didn’t believe that Zhou Lian had moved on; he assumed she was just playing hard to get.
“Just a little reminder, no harm done,” Lu Shi concluded. [Does anyone else find Lu Shi acting strange tonight?]
[A little. Did Zhou Lian’s ‘no’ bother him?]
[Or does he like Zhou Lian?]
[Possible. There were rumors about them, you know.]
[Those weren’t rumors. My cousin works at a hospital. He heard Zhou Lian once slit her wrists over him. She was rushed to the hospital.]
[Really? Her company had announced she was sick. Never thought it was an attempted suicide.]
[After that, she changed. Became a workaholic. No longer that pure, innocent girl.]
The director glanced at the screen, intrigued by the chatter. He hadn’t expected such intricate dynamics between the two. He couldn’t help but wonder about Lu Shi’s relationship with Tian Mei. Lu Shi had even put in a good word for her to join this show, citing her as a promising internet sensation.
“Add an audience Q&A segment,” the director ordered his staff.
The staff wrote the director’s instructions on a whiteboard and held it up for everyone to see. Of them all, Lu Shi seemed the most pleased with this development..
