Fanned Him into Bliss Again

The speaker had barely finished playing through once when it looked like it was about to start a second round. Shen Ranxin immediately got up, rushed over, and unplugged it.

Shen Ranxin's cold, irritable expression said only one thing: Work was already annoying enough.

Gu Yifei looked so furious his face had practically turned green.

Some of Gu Yifei's fans in the comments quickly voiced their dissatisfaction.

[Proof that Shen Ranxin is an arrogant diva!]

[What right did he have to unplug Gu Yifei's speaker? Even if the song sounded bad, it wasn't his place to unplug it, was it?]

[But honestly, if that song played a second time, everyone in this car would need to be taken to the hospital tonight.]

[Actually, the others probably wanted to turn it off too, right?]

[Even if it sounded bad, you can't just unplug someone else's speaker. I think that's the most basic courtesy a person should have? And Shen Ranxin was already an artist with a terrible record. I really don't know why Instant Heart invited him. They'll stop at nothing for a little traffic!]

[Demand that Shen Ranxin withdraw from Instant Heart! Problematic artist, get out of the entertainment industry! Murderers don't deserve to be on screen!]

[Murderer, get out of Instant Heart!]

Seeing those outraged fans in the livestream comments, the director and the others immediately turned the camera toward Shen Ranxin.

Even sitting beside Gu Yifei, Shen Ranxin's beauty was not overshadowed.

His looks were entirely different from Gu Yifei's. He had a colder air about him, one so intense it was almost aggressive. Whenever he looked at someone with lowered eyes, they were filled with icy indifference, as though he were looking at trash.

Director Chen coughed and reminded Shen Ranxin to look at the camera.

Shen Ranxin lazily sat up and said, "Mm, hello, everyone. I'm Shen Ranxin."

Then came a long silence.

Director Chen could only step in and prompt him. "What made you agree to join Instant Heart?"

Shen Ranxin said, "Of course it was the appearance fee. What else could it have been for? It couldn't possibly have been because..."

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered his real reason for joining a dating show.

The harsh chill in his eyes instantly softened, and he cast Cheng Cheng a tender look.

"It couldn't possibly really have been for the money. I'm not that perfunctory! I joined this dating show because the person I love is on it!"

Director Chen meaningfully shifted the camera to Cheng Cheng in the distance, then briefly included Lu Zhi as well, hinting at the relationship among the three of them.

[You three had better act The Breaking Ice properly. Nothing matters more than that.]

[I love this kind of two Alphas fighting over one Omega love-triangle bloodbath! More, more!]

[Does a criminal even deserve to compete with Young Master Lu? Orange and Young Master Lu have been locked in for ages, okay? That criminal is a complete third wheel, meddling in someone else's relationship. So disgusting!]

When the camera turned to Cheng Cheng, he smiled brightly. "Good evening, babies! I'm Cheng Cheng! As for why I joined this show... of course it's because I want to meet more good friends! I hope everyone will like me a little more!"

A wave of comments immediately flooded the screen.

Over the past few years, Cheng Cheng had attracted countless fans in the entertainment industry through his natural qualities and the contrast between his looks and his stage presence. After several rounds of fan purges, the fans who remained were exceptionally loyal. Even Fang Yu, who had been acting for years, had fewer commercial endorsements than Cheng Cheng.

It could be said that Cheng Cheng was the very embodiment of popularity.

When it was Lu Zhi's turn, the silver-haired young man raised a hand and touched the stud on the side of his ear. He bit down on the orange-flavored candy in his mouth, his voice soft but loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"I came to take my lover home."

[Ahhhhhhh, I'm dead! How is he so good at this? He's eating orange-flavored candy, right? I saw him eating it the whole time!]

[He likes our little Orange!!! I thought proud Young Master Lu would be too embarrassed to say it, but he was actually this direct!!]

[Mom, the CP I ship has become real!]

The comments had never been more fervent, and the hashtag #Lu Zhi Cheng Cheng Take Home# quickly climbed the trending charts.

Shen Ranxin dutifully served as a background prop, lowering his eyes to stare at the reflection on the floor.

He completely failed to notice Lu Zhi's intensely possessive gaze winding around him.

After the introductions, it was already around nine o'clock.

Since it was the first day the six guests had joined the dating show, the production team mercifully provided ingredients and a chef, serving them a delicious dinner.

During the meal, Shen Ranxin thoughtfully performed his duty as a devoted simp and peeled a garlic butter butterflied shrimp for Cheng Cheng.

Unexpectedly, before he could put it into Cheng Cheng's bowl, Lu Zhi, seated nearby, snatched it with his chopsticks and put it into his own mouth.

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Lu Zhi propped up his head. "Mm, thank you, Teacher Shen Ranxin. How did you know I wanted shrimp?"

Shen Ranxin revealed a faint sneer. He peeled another one, rolled it through the chili oil beside him, then rolled it through the wasabi, and held it up to Lu Zhi's mouth.

"Since President Lu likes it so much, of course I'm happy to serve you." Shen Ranxin smiled without any warmth as he shoved the shrimp into Lu Zhi's mouth. "Eat it. Why did you stop eating? Does Young Master Lu not like it? Eat it for me!!"

Lu Zhi broke into violent coughing after being choked by the shrimp coated in wasabi and chili oil. Shen Ranxin smilingly handed him a cup of salt water strong enough to scare anyone to death. "What's wrong? President Lu must have eaten too fast and choked, right? Here, drink some water!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Zhi's chin without another word and poured the salt water into his mouth.

[I hereby crown Shen Ranxin the Rong Mama of the entertainment industry. Everyone else came to a dating show, but he came to carry out executions.]

[I don't know how you people can joke about this. Lu Zhi looks like he's about to break. Can Shen Ranxin just get lost already?]

[I'm dying. Shen Ranxin bullied everyone equally.]

[I don't know why, but after five years out of the spotlight, this guy came back with this weirdly calm insanity about him.]

[Production team, please send Teacher Shen to a mental hospital. This illness really can't be delayed. If it comes down to it, send me a crowdfunding link and I'll donate two yuan.]

Just as the netizens were about to stir up another wave of condemnation against Shen Ranxin—

Lu Zhi, after being force-fed two mouthfuls of salt water, turned his head. His thin lips pressed against the rim of the cup while his palm gripped Shen Ranxin's wrist. His eyes were reddened from coughing, even the tip of his nose flushed red, yet his gaze held a dangerous desire.

His voice had turned low and hoarse from coughing, carrying an intimate, ingratiating tone. "Teacher Shen, I was wrong. Spare me, hmm?"

A line of surrender somehow sounded like an invitation to bed.

The hand holding Shen Ranxin's cup trembled slightly.

That dead gay man had ultimately given Shen Ranxin, a straight man, a small but profound shock.

Is this what gay men are like?

Even saying two damn words made him want to call the vice squad!

Shen Ranxin took a deep breath. He could not keep acting anymore, so he swiftly put down the cup and nervously picked up his own cup for two sips.

Lu Zhi raised a brow. "Teacher Shen, you're drinking from my cup."

Shen Ranxin: "Pfft—"

Shen Ranxin spent the entire meal sitting on pins and needles. When it finally ended, Director Chen announced terrible news to everyone.

"Due to limited funds, the manor villa that should have had six separate rooms has been replaced with this small villa, which only has four rooms."

"So, that means two Alphas and two Omegas will have to share rooms."

"Next, we'll use a childlike game to decide who gets the privilege of having a room to themselves."

Shen Ranxin's mind was full of Lu Zhi's unbearably suggestive expression from earlier. In a moment of mental short-circuiting, he blurted, "Virgin? What virginity? I'm not one! I've dated three people!"

Everyone froze, then stared at Shen Ranxin with blank expressions.

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Fuck!!
