Chapter 57: Lin Huaizhi Gets Hit On
Dai Keqing glanced at Zhou Mi.
Compared to the pleasant countenance in the previous episode, and the composure that could only be broken by Lin Huaizhi, the current Dai Keqing radiated the fierce aura of a “Niohuru Qing”—mess with me and you die.
Being glanced at, Zhou Mi clearly felt the other party’s unkind intentions.
What the hell! A broken director actually dared to look at him with disdainful eyes?
Zhou Mi cursed in his heart, but his mouth was very honestly shut tight, daring not raise any questions to Dai Keqing.
“The room selection game for this episode is called ‘Strong Demand’.”
Dai Keqing’s tone didn’t have much fluctuation. His facial expression looked relatively gentle, but it just made people feel he was very angry.
“Before the filming of this episode, the program team asked every guest about foods they couldn’t quite accept. The so-called ‘Strong Demand’ requires guests to challenge these foods and obtain priority room selection rights based on the amount completed.”
“Because it challenges foods that are not quite acceptable, it is very difficult for the guests. Therefore, in this episode, rooms do not need to be selected blindly. The quality of the rooms will be directly presented to all guests. Guests can choose according to the game ranking.”
[???]
[No, are you sick? Why play this kind of game when there are other games? It’s already said to be unacceptable food, yet you force them to try. What if they eat and get sick?]
[Not saying anything else, just these unacceptable foods—if they cause allergies to the guests, will the program team take the blame?]
The bullet comments argued fiercely.
Dai Keqing seemed to know what the comments would say and added, “Additionally, the program team has confirmed that these foods are not allergens for any guest and will not cause allergies.”
[…Still, forcing people to eat unacceptable things isn’t right!]
Dai Keqing continued, “Of course, we are filming a romance variety show. Guests can request the person they have a good impression of to exchange food with them.”
[…What if they don’t want to switch!]
Few guests present were willing to try. Zhou Mi had the most to ask, so he spoke first. “Then what if the other party doesn’t agree to exchange food?”
Dai Keqing felt indifferent toward Zhou Mi.
Previously, Zhou Mi participated in a rap program. That director wasn’t from Huameng but was an acquaintance. He had gossiped with him, saying this person’s rap skills were average, but he loved to act like a big shot, and seemed to be a scumbag.
“We are a romance variety show. What we want to see is sweet love. You can find a guest who has feelings for you to swap. Could it be that among so many guests, not a single person has feelings for you?”
Zhou Mi choked.
That face could be described as alternating between green and red. If not for being in front of the camera, he would have wished to eat Dai Keqing alive!
“I’m joking.”
Dai Keqing pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a not-so-sincere smile. “If the other party doesn’t agree to exchange things, and the guest also feels unable to complete this game, they can choose to give up. The program team will not require everyone to compete forcibly.”
“It’s just that as punishment, for guests who didn’t complete the game, the program team will appropriately increase the difficulty in subsequent games.”
[…]
This time, not only were the bullet comments speechless, but even Zhou Mi was speechless.
The game started quickly.
Everyone had food they couldn’t accept very well. For example, people in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan liked fish mint, but some people would vomit as soon as they smelled that scent. Or take coriander; those who liked it loved it to death, and those who didn’t like it couldn’t even stand to smell it.
Xu Qiao acted spoiled and swapped with Hu Xiaoxu. Chu Xiaoran naturally swapped with Fang Mo.
Lin Huaizhi and Huo Chen had no unacceptable foods. After all, neither of them had the right to be picky eaters; there was only the distinction between being full and not being full.
Fan Fangfang went straight to Lin Huaizhi. “Lin Huaizhi, I want to swap with you. I wonder if you are willing to show me your gentlemanly demeanor?”
Lin Huaizhi was already immune to this kind of conversation that was tantamount to hitting on him. Moreover, for people he had no feelings for, he always rejected very crisply.
Just before he could speak, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and swapped plates with him.
A man’s icy voice rang out immediately.
“He has already swapped with me.”
Lin Huaizhi also smiled with narrowed eyes. “Sorry, he already swapped with me. Why don’t you find someone else.”
Fan Fangfang: “…”
Fan Fangfang really didn’t expect that this man named Huo Chen would do such a thing. She watched the last episode too; Lin Huaizhi was so active and enthusiastic, yet this man remained deadly cold to him.
Fan Fangfang needed money.
Since she was on this romance variety show, being able to get along with a high-quality stock like Lin Huaizhi meant she had to take the initiative to attack, regardless of Huo Chen’s attitude.
“It doesn’t matter. I just can’t eat eggs, and the egg fried rice the program team gave is really too much, I really can’t do it.” Fan Fangfang smiled kindly and pleasantly. “If you don’t mind, we can swap again.”
Lin Huaizhi’s smile faded a few degrees.
“Apologies, I only want to swap with Huo Chen. The things he swaps with me can only be mine; I won’t swap them with anyone else.”
Fan Fangfang wasn’t a fool.
She knew things had to be taken slowly. Since Lin Huaizhi had already expressed a clear rejection, she wouldn’t continue to pester him on this topic and annoy people for no reason.
Men.
After hitting the south wall enough times, they naturally needed an “understanding flower.” Someone like Huo Chen couldn’t possibly learn to be gentle, and that was exactly her advantage.
“It’s okay, I was too abrupt.”
Fan Fangfang smiled magnanimously. “Then I’ll go ask Su Rui if he’s willing to swap with me.”
As soon as she left, Lin Huaizhi looked at the swapped plate in front of him, then at Huo Chen beside him, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
He leaned close to Huo Chen. “Didn’t you refuse to swap with me just now? Why did you swap now? Jealous?”
Huo Chen was indeed jealous.
Seemingly cool, in reality, the moment Fan Fangfang approached, alarms went off all over his body. His possessiveness even urged his hand to react faster than his brain.
The man ate the food Lin Huaizhi had taken two bites of. His movements looked elegant, but his whole body radiated a cold aura. “She has ideas about you.”
Lin Huaizhi was overjoyed.
He bumped Huo Chen’s shoulder. “Look at you being jealous. Does everyone who comes up to me or says a couple of words to me have ideas about me?”
“Don’t be jealous. Regardless of anyone else’s attitude, I only have ideas about you.”
Fan Fangfang walked toward Su Rui.
Su Rui was very unskilled in social interactions and couldn’t bring himself to trouble others. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to complete the task himself. By the time Fan Fangfang arrived in front of him, he had already stuffed down half of it.
Fan Fangfang: “…”
Looking at the tragic state of the plate, she couldn’t bring herself to ask for a swap.
Then only El was left.
Fan Fangfang looked up at the blond, blue-eyed man not far away. Just as she was debating whether to go over, she saw Zhou Mi walking straight toward him.
