I Slept with Someone Here...

To everyone's surprise, Tang Wanxing pointed at Guan Luo, who had barely made an impression so far. "I choose her."

"????"

"???"

"??????"

The audience was stunned.

-- 'President Tang... mighty...'

-- 'I really didn't expect things to go this way. Sister Xing is full of surprises.'

-- 'As expected of my Sister Xing. This young lady has barely gotten any screen time since the livestream started. Sister Xing probably wants to give her more opportunities.'

Guan Luo was dumbfounded too. She stood up and stammered out a refusal. "Teacher Tang, I-I can't spin..."

"I'll carry you."

Tang Wanxing decisively took off her jacket, revealing a pale blue shirt beneath. The beautiful lines of her arms showed faintly through the fabric as she effortlessly picked up the petite Guan Luo.

She perfectly recreated the high-difficulty backbend move as well.

After the whole routine—

The live comments went completely wild. Who could resist an actress who was both beautiful and powerful? Her usually low-key fans collectively turned into screaming groundhogs, flooding the screen with frantic messages.

Song Mingzhou took the lead in standing up to applaud. "Great! Sister Wanxing was so cool."

Everyone else applauded as well.

Duan Xun casually leaned close to Song Mingzhou's ear and asked in a chilly voice, "Was she cooler, or was I?"

Song Mingzhou: "??"

He hadn't heard him clearly.

Forget it.

Duan Xun gritted his teeth. The little canary he had raised actually dared to stare at someone else.

The director was so excited he nearly jumped up. He knew this season's cast was high quality—they wouldn't let him down.

He suppressed the trembling in his hands. "Does anyone else want to take on the challenge?"

After watching two rounds, Shen Qing's interest had been thoroughly piqued. If even the women could do it, he wanted to try even more. He kept glancing at Gu Yanting, but was too embarrassed to say it outright.

Xiao Ziyu, who sat between them, noticed it too. He had a loud voice, and he shouted, "Do you want to ask Gu Yanting to give it a try? Stop dragging your feet and just ask him."

[Oh? My Brother Xun is going to be heartbroken. Shen Qing only wants to invite that Gu dog.]

Duan Xun:?

Shen Qing's face reddened. He bit his lip, wanting to explain but unable to stop himself from anticipating Gu Yanting's reaction.

Gu Yanting:?

The director's eyes lit up. Buzz—this was all buzz! A windfall had dropped from the sky, and he grinned so hard he could barely close his mouth. "Yanting, why don't you do one with Shen Qing too?"

Xiao Ziyu joined in the teasing. "Yeah, he's been waiting so eagerly."

"..."

Gu Yanting waved apologetically. "Sorry, Director. I took a fall a few days ago, and my leg injury hasn't healed yet."

Shen Qing's expression stiffened.

The director promptly retracted his toothy grin.

[This is killing me. A weakling is a weakling. He can't even compare to one of my Brother Xun's fingers. How can trash like this be the male lead? Unbelievable.]

[If he's this weak, what's he going to do in bed? Can he satisfy Shen Qing? Their sex life is looking bleak.]

[One minute of pounding, five minutes of rest?]

[How pitiful.]

The more Duan Xun listened, the more amused he became.

He really wanted to shut that mouth of his and make him Y*^$% flow%...% water.

All four participants earned points for this segment. The second person up was Gu Yanting. After pondering for a moment, he stood.

"Director, I'll just say one thing. I joined this show to keep someone company."

His tone was gentle, and his gaze seemed to drift toward Shen Qing.

Shen Qing gave him a shy smile in return.

Xiao Ziyu rubbed his arms with an exaggerated expression. "Eugh, I definitely haven't done that before."

The others all understood what was going on and shook their heads teasingly. Only Shen Qing raised his hand to indicate that he had.

The two exchanged smiles.

-- 'Dragonfly CP is so sweet! They both came to keep each other company. I knew the CP I ship was real, sob sob.'

-- 'The sweetness is off the charts. Sister-in-law is so adorable.'

-- 'I can't believe it. Before this has even officially begun, I'm already shipping two male-male CPs. Mom, I've made something of myself.'

-- 'Five men, four caught in ambiguous romantic tension. The remaining Xiao Ziyu is baring his teeth and cackling with the director. Honestly, I feel bad for him.'

The director asked, "Has anyone else done something like that?"

Song Mingzhou cracked open some sunflower seeds and mocked them in his heart.

Other than those two idiots, who else would be brain-dead enough to do something like that? Hilarious.

Still, saying that is boring. If it were me, I'd say I slept with someone here. Then I should be the only one getting points, right? Hehe.

527 was horrified. [No, Ancestor, don't start anything.]

The standards are so strict. Boring.

-[Ding. Plot point triggered. Gu Yanting speaks, and the host echoes him, telling everyone that he also joined this show for someone.]

Song Mingzhou's smile cracked.

What??

527 gloated. [Host, you joined this show for Gu Yanting. In the original plot, you begged desperately for a whole month before getting this opportunity.]

[...]

Enough. Stop talking.

Song Mingzhou silently put away his sunflower seed shells. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he caught Duan Xun slowly raising his from the corner of his eye, wearing the solemn expression of an old cadre.

"???"

[Don't flatter yourself.] 527 poured cold water on him. [He joined for Shen Qing, not you.]

Enough.

That was really enough.

Song Mingzhou puffed up his cheeks and raised his hand. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I also joined this show for someone."

[Ding. Host Song Mingzhou's key plot point has been successfully repaired. Current mission progress: 6/100.]

"Wow~"

Xiao Ziyu leaned back in surprise. "Interesting. Who did you two join for?"

Duan Xun lowered his hand. "Not you."

Xiao Ziyu: "..."

-- 'Hahahaha, Lord Xiao is definitely cursing internally. He shouldn't have asked.'

Song Mingzhou followed his example. "Mm, not you either."

Xiao Ziyu: "Okay, skipping this part."

Qin Xuewei looked around, then took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Tang Wanxing. "Sister Wanxing, how did you join the show? I came on my own."

Tang Wanxing smiled politely. "So did I."

"You were incredible just now. Do you work out every day?"

"Mm."

The director clicked his tongue and asked whether anyone else had something to share. This time, there truly wasn't anyone.

The third person up was Duan Xun.

He adjusted his shirt, stood with both hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow, and said word by word, "I slept with someone here."

Holy shit!

"Pfft!"

The air fell silent. Everyone turned to look at him in unison. Without changing expression, Duan Xun repeated himself. "Yes, I slept with someone here. What about you?"

Song Mingzhou's eyes widened like brass bells, and his mind erupted in frenzied screams. He thought of the same thing as me! Did we go too hard last time, so now our hearts are in sync?

7! He's practically speaking for me. What a pervert. What do I do? He looks even more pleasing to the eye now. I want to kiss him, want to be //h//%...% hehe^&ship.

Shen Qing clutched his clothes, his smile nearly impossible to maintain.

The live comments paused for several seconds before colorful exclamation marks flooded across the screen.

-- 'Guys, have I gone deaf? What did Young Master just say? Isn't he a virgin? Huh? Huh!!!'

-- 'Help, he can't mean one of the staff, can he?'

-- 'The director is already in his forties, so probably not. That only leaves the three people here—Best Actress Tang? Impossible! Ah, could it be little cutie Guan Guan?'

-- 'Brother, think more boldly. Could it be a man?'

-- 'Go die. Young Master is straight as an arrow. If he kissed a man, he'd probably have nightmares for half the night. Some people see promotional interactions and start imagining things.'

-- 'Taking a bite of Duan-Song CP, drooling all the way down.'

-- 'Blind guess: it's little cutie Zhouzhou. The clingy sexual tension between them just now didn't look acted—it looked like they really did it.'

Clang.

A sound rang out.

Zhoubao: Didn't you say you didn't like exposing your private life? You change your face faster than flipping pages.

Lord Duan: I couldn't hold back. I absolutely couldn't hold back.
