Lu Xingchuan had never once properly looked Shen Yan in the eye before.

After all, who would carefully study what a stupid dog looked like?

But when he looked up now, he suddenly realized that Shen Yan was actually this handsome!

"Apologize." Shen Yan sat there at ease, his chin slightly raised, exuding a rebellious, aristocratic air.

Lu Xingchuan jolted back to his senses.

Realizing that he had actually complimented Shen Yan in his head just now, Lu Xingchuan quickly averted his gaze.

The livestream cameras were still rolling. He really had wronged Shen Yan just now.

Lu Xingchuan clenched his fists slightly, his palms covered in a fine layer of sweat. He said stiffly and awkwardly, "I'm sorry."

Xie Li's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Lu Xingchuan in shock.

Lu Xingchuan had actually apologized to Shen Yan?

Shouldn't he have thrown a punch at Shen Yan or cursed him out again?

Lu Xingchuan's shoulders were stiff. He licked his lips and said, "I wrongly accused you. I'm sorry."

[As Lu Xingchuan's fan, I'm honestly so relieved. I was really scared he'd refuse to admit his mistake just to save face!]

[As long as he admits he was wrong, I can still forgive him. Wuwuwuwuwu!]

[Lu Xingchuan can at least be considered someone who owns up to his mistakes and corrects them.]

[??? I'm completely confused, babe. Isn't apologizing when you do something wrong the most normal thing ever? How did that become something worthy of praise? Is Lu Xingchuan already so terrible that there's nothing left to compliment him on?]

[Sis, I love hearing you say that!]

Having gotten his apology, Shen Yan rolled his eyes, stood up, and prepared to continue clearing the table.

The moment he stood, Lu Xingchuan immediately got up as well.

Lu Xingchuan couldn't describe what state of mind he was in right now, but he suddenly didn't seem to hate Shen Yan quite as much.

"I'll help you clean up..."

Just as Lu Xingchuan was about to catch up to Shen Yan and say something, Xie Li suddenly squeezed over from the side.

Like a nervous little rabbit, he asked, "Brother Xingchuan, are you okay? You really scared me just now."

Meeting Xie Li's concerned gaze, Lu Xingchuan shook his head. "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Sensing that his tone was still as gentle as ever, Xie Li sighed in relief and smiled obediently.

Looking at the trending topics hanging high on the charts, none of which had anything to do with romance, then looking at the guests peacefully clearing the table together before him...

The director looked like an exhausted old father.

Forget it, forget it.

As long as the kids were willing to study properly, he was willing to work himself to the bone for them!

Yahoo!

Fully revived.

Half an hour later.

As though he had lost his memory again, the director appeared with a radiant smile, wearing giant fuzzy slippers and holding a portable mic.

"Hello, everyone. It's another beautiful day! Let's officially begin today's game."

[The director is so pitiful. What kind of life does he live every day?!]

[Hahahahaha, I'm laughing so loudly!]

[This variety show should actually be called Director Transformation Diary, right?]

[Or Director Amnesia Diary.]

To prevent all sorts of unexpected bugs from appearing in this game again, the production team hurriedly came up with a group-date game that would increase the romantic tension.

"Ta-da-da-da-da! Today's game is called Ghost Tag!"

The director's entire face seemed to say—

You were the ones who started it!

So don't blame me for being merciless!

"The game location is this villa.

"The rules are: one person will be chosen as the first ghost. The other five guests may hide anywhere in the villa. Once caught, they become ghosts and join the original ghost in catching people."

Bai Jing raised her hand with a question. "What counts as being caught by a ghost?"

The director snapped his fingers.

Hehehe!

"A ghost can only truly catch someone by kissing their cheek, chin, or another part of their face. Take note: kissing anywhere other than the head does not count."

[Wow!]

[They're going this far?!]

[After all, if they don't go bigger, it'll be really hard to believe Director Transformation Diary is a dating show.]

When he suddenly saw that comment, the cameraman couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing like a chicken.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

After clapping three times with great force, the director boomed, "Now, let's choose the first ghost! Staff, please blindfold everyone."

Since Song Qianshan had injured her knee, the director had originally suggested that she take the day off to rest.

But Song Qianshan insisted that she was fine and wanted to play with everyone.

All six guests were blindfolded.

Holding the portable mic, the director smiled especially villainously. "In a moment, our staff will guide everyone to feel the face of the person beside them. Those who can successfully identify the other person will remain human. Those who cannot will become ghosts!"

The staff rearranged their original positions and gave everyone soundproof headphones to keep their identities from being revealed by their voices.

Pei Heng went first. Guided by a staff member, he reached out to touch the person beside him.

The instant his long fingers landed on Shen Yan's face, he recognized him as Shen Yan.

But without showing it, he slowly traced Shen Yan's brows, eyes, nose, and lips, all the way down to his neck. His fingers stopped at his Adam's apple.

[Oh my god! Whose legs just went weak?!]

[Holy shit, Pei Heng touching Shen Yan while blindfolded looks so fucking sexy!]

[Do it for me! Do it blindfolded!]

[How can anyone possibly hold back?]

Just as Shen Yan was getting impatient from being touched and was about to open his mouth to curse, Pei Heng stopped while he was ahead, took a step back, and said with a smile, "Shen Yan."

He said it with absolute certainty.

The staff removed his headphones and blindfold.

Although he had just felt Shen Yan's face all over, seeing Shen Yan standing right in front of him with his eyes covered and his red lips slightly parted instantly brought back the sensation of his fingers touching him.

A nearly uncontrollable fire ignited in his eyes. His lowered fingers lightly rubbed together, but he said nothing.

It was Shen Yan's turn to feel the person beside him.

Guided by the staff, Shen Yan's fingers landed on the other person's face.

Before he had even properly touched him, his face twisted in disgust. Spreading his fingers, he shoved the face in front of him an arm's length away. "Lu Xingchuan."

Shen Yan said it impatiently.

Pei Heng raised his brows slightly, his expression turning a little cold.

[Hahahaha, President Pei looks a little jealous.]

[Shen Yan only touched him once and knew he was Lu Xingchuan. He must have loved him deeply back then.]

[Could he have nearly been assaulted trying to get resources for Lu Xingchuan if he didn't love him deeply?]

[I feel so bad for Shen Yan.]

Lu Xingchuan was caught off guard by the shove and nearly stumbled backward and fell.

Fortunately, the staff caught him in time.

The staff removed Shen Yan's headphones and blindfold.

Pei Heng stepped closer and stood beside Shen Yan, asking softly, "How were you so sure he was Lu Xingchuan?"

Shen Yan replied expressionlessly, "He has a bump on his forehead. I made it with my fist."

[Hahahahaha, the romantic tension vanished without a trace.]

[President Pei is smiling so happily!]
