#Lu Xingchuan Toilet#

#Shen Yan Vomits on Lu Xingchuan#

#Cut Off the Family Line#

This Is a Dating Show had been on air for less than half an hour, yet three hashtags had already claimed the top three trending spots.

The director stared lifelessly at these three trending topics, which had absolutely nothing to do with romance and were even filled with a bizarre aura, and fell silent.

Silence, oh silence. Either perish in silence, or erupt in silence.

A weasel paying New Year's respects to a chicken!

Then go pay your respects!

Rubbing his hands together, after Lu Xingchuan finally finished washing up and returned to the sofa, and everyone completed three rounds of Truth or Dare—

The director appeared before them with a smile.

"Now, I will announce the final rankings."

"Bai Jing scored the highest, a perfect three points. She gets the best room in this villa—the entire third floor."

Bai Jing jumped three feet into the air. With a cheerful "Yay!" she sprang up from the sofa.

Her bright, lively happiness formed a stark contrast with Lu Xingchuan across from her.

"Pei Heng, Song Qianshan, Shen Yan, and Lu Xingchuan are tied for second. Room assignments will be discussed later. Xie Li, because you forfeited all three dares and scored zero points, gets the worst room in this villa."

Xie Li looked pitiful, but he still smiled bravely. "In the next competition, I'll definitely turn things around!"

[Xiao Li is amazing!]

[I honestly don't get why Xie Li forfeited. Of the three dares, one asked him to invite a guest here to dance, one asked him to walk around dressed as a duck, and one asked him to stand at the villa entrance and sing "I Really Want to Live Another Five Hundred Years." The production team even said they'd already asked the original creator and it wouldn't count as copyright infringement. Why did he give up on all of them?]

After announcing the results, the director said, "The guests whose rooms have already been assigned will be taken back to rest by staff. Wait for the production team's notice about the next game. The remaining four guests will need to compete once more."

No sooner said than done!

The director whipped out a box of biscuits.

"Ta-da! Our game is eating biscuits! The four guests will form pairs and share one biscuit. Whoever reaches the biscuit's midpoint first wins!

"Then the winner from each pair will compete again, and the loser from each pair will compete again, determining the final rankings!"

I refuse to believe this won't create a romantic atmosphere!

Shen Yan immediately raised his hand. "Director, I don't want to be paired with Lu Xingchuan. I'm afraid I'll throw up."

Lu Xingchuan's face darkened. Fury shadowed his eyes as he gritted his teeth. "I don't want to be paired with Shen Yan either."

Director: ...

Fine, fine, fine!

He instantly smiled with extreme optimism. "It seems our guests really like this game. They've already come up with preliminary pairings! So, who will pair with Shen Yan? And who will pair with Lu Xingchuan?"

Pei Heng and Song Qianshan spoke almost in unison. "I'll pair with Shen Yan."

Lu Xingchuan: ...

[What the hell? This show is so boring. They're openly excluding Teacher Lu, aren't they?]

Pei Heng smiled. "I saw that Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li seemed to have already confirmed their relationship. I also like men, so it wouldn't seem appropriate for me to be paired with Teacher Lu. I don't want people calling me the other man.

"Still, I'm a little curious. If you've already confirmed your relationship, why are you still on a dating show?"

Before Lu Xingchuan could speak, Xie Li hurriedly smiled obediently. "President Pei, you misunderstood. We haven't confirmed anything. Xingchuan and I are both single."

Pei Heng nodded. "I understand. So Lu Xingchuan is pursuing you unilaterally and hasn't succeeded yet?"

Xie Li wanted to say something else, but Pei Heng had already turned to Lu Xingchuan with a gentlemanly smile. "Good luck!"

Lu Xingchuan's expression grew even uglier.

Song Qianshan smoothed the hair beside her ear. "Oh, it's simply because Teacher Lu was just inside a toilet, and I'm a little uncomfortable with that. I'm just a pretentious bitch."

[Hahahahahaha! Take the haters' road and leave them nowhere to go.]

[Teacher Lu, go for it! Hurry up and win Xiao Li over! Give me sweetness, give me kisses, give me lots of sex, and piss off some shameless bitch!]

[Some fans really need to stop. Shen Yan threw up on Lu Xingchuan's face. Doesn't that explain enough?]

Song Qianshan and Pei Heng had both chosen Shen Yan.

What a sweet burden.

In the end, the director had the two of them play rock-paper-scissors, best three out of five. Song Qianshan won all five rounds.

The competition began!

A milk-flavored biscuit stick had Lu Xingchuan at one end and Pei Heng at the other. Both wore expressions as though facing death, and at the command, "Begin!"

Crunch!

Pei Heng directly took a brutal bite right to the midpoint.

Chewing the biscuit, he stepped back, raised both hands, and said, "I won."

[Hahahahaha, Lu Xingchuan is completely dumbfounded!]

[He probably wanted to eat his way over bite by bite, but President Pei was just simple and brutal.]

[Seeing them up close, Pei Heng's looks actually don't lose to Lu Xingchuan's.]

Xie Li leaned closer. "Congratulations, President Pei!"

Then he turned to Lu Xingchuan with a smile. "It's okay. There'll definitely be lots more competitions later. Winning and losing are common in battle, Xingchuan. Cheer up."

Only then did Lu Xingchuan's heavy expression improve somewhat.

He had originally wanted to win so he could get a more comfortable room for Xie Li, while he himself stayed in Xie Li's tiny shabby room.

He just hadn't expected Pei Heng to disregard the rules so completely and bite straight to the middle.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Lu Xingchuan could not help making a snide remark. "I thought the competition was supposed to be eating your way over bite by bite."

Pei Heng agreed wholeheartedly. "I did eat my way over in one bite. I didn't realize your mouth was so small."

[Hahahahahaha, holy shit, this domineering CEO has quite a sharp tongue.]

After saying that, Pei Heng ignored Lu Xingchuan's expression and turned to look at Shen Yan and Song Qianshan.

Song Qianshan was at one end of the biscuit, and Shen Yan was at the other.

The two of them were honestly eating their way over bite by bite.

But their progress remained perfectly even. Then, when they were nearly at the middle, they both suddenly bit the biscuit in half, and it fell to the ground.

More than a dozen little broken biscuit pieces had already fallen onto the floor.

They watched helplessly as the two of them had already eaten an entire box of biscuits because of this competition.

The director's eye twitched furiously. "You do know this competition isn't about who bites the biscuit in half, but who reaches the middle of the biscuit first, right?"

Another broken biscuit fell successfully.

Shen Yan nodded at the director. "Don't worry. We'll definitely determine a winner."

In the end, after Shen Yan and Song Qianshan had force-fed the production team's staff five boxes of biscuits—

Song Qianshan won the round.

Shen Yan let out a full belch and looked at Lu Xingchuan. "Burp. Looks like I'll be competing against you, burp."

The image of him vomiting just now instantly assaulted Lu Xingchuan's mind.

Lu Xingchuan directly asked the director with a face full of disgust, "Can I withdraw?"

Having successfully lost five boxes plus one biscuit, yet failed to capture even the slightest romantic atmosphere, the director nodded weakly. "You can, but you'll be ranked last."

Lu Xingchuan had no interest in the rankings at all. "Then I'm withdrawing."

As he spoke, the match between Pei Heng and Song Qianshan had reached its result.

"In this round, Song Qianshan is first, Pei Heng is second, Shen Yan is third, and Lu Xingchuan is fourth."

His voice paused.

The weasel had paid New Year's respects to the chicken, but had failed to achieve the intended effect.

The director said darkly, "Next, everyone will collect their rooms according to their rankings. After resting for fifteen minutes, gather on the first floor. Here's a preview of the next task: you'll be searching for ingredients.

"It'll consume a lot of energy, so make sure you use your rest time wisely."

Xie Li asked weakly, "Are we going to search for ingredients without eating first? It's almost noon. Everyone should be hungry."

Shen Yan and Song Qianshan both let out a full belch.
