Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Chapter 698 Going to the 21st Century (11)

Xiao Chen's sudden, obsequious greeting caused the atmosphere in the living room to freeze for a moment.

Lin Hao and Su Man exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Lin Hao wondered to himself, what is this guy up to now?

Is the acting really that bad? They can't even convincingly portray normal human social etiquette. This bowing and scraping—have they completely abandoned the spirit of StarClan?

Su Man also thought to herself, "Has Xiao Chen suddenly become so clever and knows he needs to curry favor with the most popular guy? His behavior is so disgusting, he's disgracing the Star Clan."

They didn't think too much about it. After all, as Star Clan members, it was difficult for them to be wary of the ants around them after escaping to this world where everyone was like an ant.

As for whether the creator god would hunt them down to this place, they had indeed considered it.

In their fantasy, the creator god would wipe them out with a snap of his fingers. Who would have thought that he would be playing with them on a variety show for so long?

“Qianqian,” Gu Buchen’s deep voice sounded, and he pointed to the empty sofa next to him, “Sit here.”

His gaze fell directly on Qin Youyou, a blatant declaration of his ownership.

He was telling everyone—the guests, the production team, and even all the viewers in the live stream—that Qin Qian was the person Gu Buchen had taken a liking to.

However, everyone in the world understood his intentions, except for Qin Youyou.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, it was Brother Xiao Chen who called me first," Qin Youyou politely declined.

She still needs to go through the script.

He walked towards Xiao Chen and sat down in the empty seat next to him.

silence.

The entire villa fell silent for a moment.

Everyone held their breath in the atmosphere of President Gu's stiff face.

The host was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, all the guests are here! Let's begin today's summary segment—'Anonymous First Impressions'!"

Gu Buchen slowly withdrew his gaze from Qin Youyou and Xiao Chen, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been granted a pardon.

"The rules are simple: please write down a sentence on a piece of paper in which you summarize your first impression of your date today. The requirements are: be truthful, romantic, and do not reveal your identity."

"After you finish writing, put the note in a box. We will randomly select some to show. If your date can guess who wrote the note, that group will receive a reward!"

The guests had various expressions and picked up paper and pens.

Before long, everyone had finished writing.

They all stepped forward and put the notes into the cardboard box.

The host began drawing slips of paper and displaying them on the big screen.

The first note had a bold, scribbled message: "You're sweeter than ice cream."

"Let's guess, who wrote this note? And who is it for?"

Without hesitation, Song Zhi raised her hand and said, "I guess it was written to me by my younger brother, Lin Hao."

I thought to myself, "These characters are really ugly."

It looks like a first-grader who has practiced all afternoon and barely managed to produce a decent handwriting.

If it weren't for the script stating that Lin Hao would write this line for her, she might not have recognized it.

"Correct!" the host exclaimed.

A smile appeared on Lin Hao's face.

Although it's scripted, perhaps, in the eyes of the audience, this is called tacit understanding?

He quietly took out his phone and opened the live stream.

A freeze.

[Boring, hurry up, I want to guess what Qianqian wrote!]

Why can't the live stream be fast-forwarded?

Even a frog-like guy is more interesting than this couple.

The host then showed a second note.

The font is elegant: "Right before my eyes".

It's obviously written by a girl.

But which girl actually wrote it?

"Right in front of you?" Of course, your date is right in front of you.

Qin Youyou was also thinking.

So close at hand... The previous sentence was, "Far away."

“Far away…” she muttered to herself.

On the other side, after hearing Qin Youyou's words, Gu Buchen suddenly looked up and pointed at himself.

"Su Man wrote this to me, no, to me?"

That's a true reflection of his feelings. Although he spent the whole afternoon on a date with Su Man, his heart was with Qianqian.

Isn't it just so close yet so far away?

Su Man raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips: "President Gu is quick-witted."

Gu Buchen immediately looked at Qin Youyou: "It's still because Qianqian and I have a tacit understanding..."

Qin Youyou: ...

Outside the live stream, Qin Lie waved his fist: "This guy is incredibly audacious!"

Qin Jiyu grabbed her enraged father: "Dad, calm down. Ling Yi, Ersan, and Si are still up to no good. Who does this guy think he is? He's not even in the running. Don't worry!"

Qin Lie: "If Youyou hadn't forbidden me from using my divine power, I..."

Wei Jin: "Hehehe, I didn't use divine power. I used the little secret technique of the Sa Wu tribe that Zhao Xun taught me."

She held a rag doll in her left hand and a small needle in her right. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with a green light, and she plunged the needle into the rag doll's bottom!

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft!" Gu Buchen's frantic farting sounds immediately filled the live stream room.

Everyone was shocked.

They all turned their heads.

Gu Buchen's smug, flirtatious face instantly turned green.

He clutched his stomach and said, "I need to go to the toilet first!"

Everyone watched his retreating figure in silence.

"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes. Mr. Pi, ah, Mr. Bu Gu has already finished answering the questions, let's continue."

[Boss Pi, the host is truly a talent!]

From now on, that's what we'll call it. That's the decision.

[Didn't you just refer to yourself as "I," Mr. Pi? The domineering CEO of my great Henan Province?]

[Just checked, he really is the heir of my Henan circle]

【Ah, then I'll support Boss Pi this time! Charge! After flushing the toilet, win over Qianqian!】

In the restroom, President Gu held toilet paper in one hand and his phone, which was playing a live stream, in the other. His elbows were tucked in, his face was flushed, and he was straining with all his might.

"Ugh... damn shit, hurry up and poop."

Mr. Gu was on the verge of tears. How could someone make such a huge blunder during a live broadcast?

He didn't eat anything that would cause bloating...

In the live broadcast room.

The host then proceeded to display the next slip of paper.

The large, flowing characters read: Unparalleled Beauty.

Before the guests could react, the correct answer was already flooding the screen.

[What Pi Zong wrote to Qian Qian]

Oh, can I also write to someone who isn't my date?

[Whatever Pi Zong wants to do, the production team probably won't dare stop him.]

In the live stream, everyone tacitly turned their attention to Qin Qian.

The host felt a little embarrassed for Su Man.

"It was indeed written by President Gu."

But whether it was written to Su Man or Qin Qian, everyone has their own opinion.

The new note has been displayed.

The handwriting was so neat and legible that it was impossible to tell if it was written by a man or a woman: “You remind me of summer.”

The host teased, "Summer, what a romantic season! Who wrote this note? The answer might surprise you."

Summer? Of all these people present, who has anything to do with summer?

[Song Zhi? Gardenias bloom in summer, but didn't Lin Hao's letter to Song Zhi already reveal the answer?]

Who else is associated with summer? Xiao Chen, Qianqian, they don't seem like it either.

Qin Youyou looked at the note and silently read it in her mind.

"You remind me of a toad in summer..."

This is what she wrote.

As for her handwriting, she was forced to practice it intensively for a period of time after her father discovered that her handwriting was scrawled like a shrimp or a dog.

If she had written this neatly during her college entrance exam, she could have gotten into an even better university.

Damn it, the handwriting score!

Every time a note appeared, Xiao Chen had to carefully consider whether it was written by Qin Qian, fearing that if he didn't answer correctly, his life would be in danger.

This time, he stared intently at the words, recalling the scenes in the swimming pool.

Swimming pool, summer!

God, she's pointing him out!

Xiao Chen suddenly raised his hand: "I know, it was written for me by Qianqian!"

For the first time, the production team and the host all looked at Xiao Chen with disbelief.

This guy finally turned out to be reliable for once!

"Congratulations! Brother Xiao Chen got it right!"

Qin Youyou was surprised. Wow, how did Xiao Chen guess it?

She still gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up.

Xiao Chen felt a sudden sense of relief.

Thank goodness, we escaped unscathed.

Next, the host took out the remaining two slips of paper.

Note 1: I am gazing into the abyss.

Note 2: I bought a ribbon and wanted to give it to you.

"Now, only the notes written by Brother Xiao Chen and A Zhi remain unidentified. Please take a close look and see who wrote these two notes."

In terms of handwriting, it seems that both of them deliberately wrote in an ugly manner, making it impossible to determine their gender from their handwriting.

Apart from Xiao Chen and Song Zhi, everyone else started racking their brains.

Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat.

Gazing into the abyss?

Could this be Song Zhi's first impression of him? He thought to himself that he had acted quite romantically and cheerfully, so how could he be described as an abyss?

The second note says, "I bought a ribbon and wanted to give it to you..."

He tried to recall carefully, but couldn't remember Song Zhi buying ribbons when they went to the amusement park yesterday.

Besides, if you want to give it, just give it. Writing it on paper makes it seem like you can't give it away, which is weird.

The guests frowned.

The comment section seems to know more.

I'm gazing into the abyss... Does anyone understand? This line is so romantic: to fall in love with someone is to bravely step into the abyss.

I bought a ribbon and wanted to give it to you. Why a ribbon of all?

Holy crap, I think I've figured something out!!

[Speak up, you in front!]

What did you guess?

Ribbons...lace...I want to give them but can't bring myself to do it, so I'll leave it at that.

The audience reacted in unison for a few seconds.

The next moment...

The barrage exploded.

【Depend on! 】

No way, no way!

[I knew Zhi-jie's gaze towards Qian-qian wasn't innocent!]

If that's really the case, I'm going to raise the Qianzhi banner high!

[Was that first note Xiao Chen wrote to Qianqian? How romantic...]

Even the most romantic frog-type man is still a frog-type man.

So, the arrow now pointing to Qianqian suggests Song Zhi, Xiao Chen, or Gu Buchen? Song Zhi's identity is questionable.

The live chat was already buzzing, while the guests in the observation room were still completely confused.

Qin Youyou pointed to the first note, looked at Xiao Chen, and tentatively asked, "Did you write this for me?"

Xiao Chen shuddered.

She nodded gently, like a timid young wife.

Qin Youyou raised her eyebrows.

abyss?

Is this really how he sees her? Haha, that's interesting.

Xiao Chen was filled with fear and trepidation. It was indeed an abyss. This abyss was not the abyss of love imagined in the comments, but in his eyes, Qin Qian was a terrifying, unfathomable abyss standing in front of him!

As he gazed into the abyss, the abyss also gazed into him.

Over there, Lin Hao scratched his head: "Azhi, if you want to give me a ribbon, just give it to me directly. I won't refuse it."

Song Zhi remained silent.

Was this written for him? Narcissistic man.

But the script still had to be submitted, and she smiled shyly, "Okay."

The host looked at the answer finally revealed on the big screen and exclaimed, "It's exactly what everyone guessed!"

Although this segment was slightly interrupted by Mr. Pi, the final result was still quite satisfactory.

The host, beaming, concluded: "Fantastic! After the first date, although there were some minor misunderstandings, everyone's chemistry is improving rapidly! Congratulations to all the guests for guessing correctly!"

"Therefore, the production team has decided to reward everyone with a luxurious group vacation!"

"Tomorrow morning, we'll be heading to a stunning island resort! There, many more activities requiring teamwork and in-depth communication await you! I hope you all get a good rest tonight, recharge, and prepare for tomorrow's challenges and...surprises!"

The live stream ended amidst viewers' anticipation and comments about the "island vacation."

The guests dispersed.

Qin Youyou, Song Zhi, and Su Man walked hand in hand back to their room in a very intimate manner.

Lin Hao and Xiao Chen, each with their own ulterior motives, returned to the boys' dormitory first.

After Gu Buchen returned from his ordeal in the bathroom, he was almost completely exhausted. When he walked out, his legs were weak and he was leaning against the wall, he found that the living room was deserted and even the cameras had been removed.

"Is it... over?" Gu Buchen asked the staff member packing up the things next to him, his face pale and weak.

The staff member nodded sympathetically: "Mr. Gu, are you... alright? The live stream has ended. We'll meet at seven tomorrow morning to head to the island."

Gu Buchen: "..."

His carefully prepared and subtle interactive segment... was completely ruined by those few loud farts.

Damn it, this useless belly.

He mustered his last bit of strength, his face dark, and staggered back to the boys' dormitory.

In the dormitory, Lin Hao had already finished washing up and was lying on the bed scrolling through his phone, his face showing a calculating expression.

He realized that Qin Qian was a hot topic, and he planned to capitalize on her popularity tomorrow.

Xiao Chen huddled on his bed, his back to the door, wrapped in a blanket, looking like a quail saying, "I'm withdrawn, do not disturb."

Gu Buchen was too weak to pay attention to them and collapsed onto the bed. After a while, he struggled to pick up his phone.

I opened social media, and sure enough!

Pi Zong Gu Buchen

Yu Circle CEO Live Stream Fart

These topics caused his blood pressure to spike!

There were also various trending topics about Qin Qian being paired with other people... He never expected that, in addition to the various CP topics about Qin Qian and Xiao Chen, he would also see the ribbon CP of Song Zhi and Qin Qian!

"This generation of viewers is going too far! Why do they ship everything?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Gu Buchen's eyes.

He immediately dialed his secretary's number and gave the unquestionable order:

"Suppress it! Pay up! Suppress all trending topics related to... or anything that makes me uncomfortable! Delete as many negative comments as possible!"

"Also, those messy, shallow CP trending topics are being throttled on my page!"

"Then, immediately create a few trending topics to get me featured at the top of the search results! 'Under the skirt', 'Guqin Couple', 'Unparalleled charm'... Yes, the copywriting must highlight my deep affection and strength! No budget limit!"
