Instant Heart Is Famous Too

A flood of [Baby, you're confused] comments swept through the chat.

Shen Ranxin began to wonder which of them, he or Cheng Cheng, was actually Lu Zhi's mortal enemy.

Had he gotten it wrong? Were they actually going for a love-hate romance?

Lu Zhi, who had been dawdling over his shower earlier, suddenly finished up quickly and pushed open the bathroom door.

Contrary to what Shen Ranxin had expected, Lu Zhi did not show off his abs. He was even wrapped up more tightly than usual, his silver shoulder-length hair swept back and still dripping water.

It was obvious he had rushed through the shower, seemingly unwilling to let Cheng Cheng and Shen Ranxin be alone in the same space for too long.

...Could it be that with him around, Lu Zhi was too embarrassed to show Cheng Cheng his top-tier Alpha body?

The more Shen Ranxin thought about it, the more likely it seemed. How could the leads relax with a third wheel like him around?

So he picked up his clothes, turned around, and knocked on Jiang Ye's door next door.

Jiang Ye looked as though he had just showered too. He paused when he saw Shen Ranxin. "What is it?"

Shen Ranxin said, "Nothing, I just wanted to borrow your bathroom..."

Before he could finish, Cheng Cheng and Lu Zhi dragged him back together.

Shen Ranxin: "?"

...What was this? Did they actually want him, the disposable background character, to witness their love?

They were going too far!

"Go shower." Lu Zhi shoved Shen Ranxin into the bathroom and shut the door.

For once, Cheng Cheng did not object. Instead, he shot Jiang Ye a warning look.

Jiang Ye caught Cheng Cheng's gaze and froze for a moment. "You want to borrow the bathroom too?"

Was his bathroom some kind of sacred bathing site?

Hearing the commotion, Fang Yu poked his head out as well. "Borrow whose bathroom? The bathroom here works fine. Who needs to borrow one?"

"..." Cheng Cheng withdrew his gaze.

For a sweet, clueless kid like Jiang Ye, who had a screw loose and only knew how to play games, that look really had been unnecessary!

Shen Ranxin had been shoved into the bathroom and watched the two figures outside facing off.

He got it!

They definitely wanted to do something exciting!

While he, the disposable side character, showered in the bathroom, all it would take was a slight push of the door for him to catch the two of them tangled together, oblivious to the world!

What they wanted was definitely that thrilling, illicit feeling of a secret affair!

Shen Ranxin sighed. The heart he had been holding onto finally died. Sure enough, he was still that doomed background extra, the cow dung on the road to the leads' love.

With that in mind, when he finished showering and was about to come out, he deliberately made quite a bit of noise, wanting to give the two outside time to get themselves together.

Yet when he opened the door, only Lu Zhi was sitting on the couch in the living room. Cheng Cheng had long since disappeared.

Shen Ranxin paused, then asked curiously, "Where's Cheng Cheng?"

"He left." Lu Zhi spoke lazily. "Did you want him to stay that badly?"

Shen Ranxin paused, frowned, and snorted. "What the fuck does that have to do with you?"

With that, he went over to his suitcase, took out a hair dryer, and prepared to dry his hair before going to sleep.

Lu Zhi moved closer. "Teacher Shen, dry mine for me."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Why did everything he said sound so easy to misunderstand?!

At that moment, the livestream viewers could not see anything, only hear the audio. The instant they heard "dry mine for me," the chat exploded.

[Hold the fuck up, does he mean the kind of drying I'm thinking of?]

[No idea which kind you mean, but my country has a complete constitution.]

[No, is this something I'm allowed to hear? They really don't treat us like outsiders, huh?!]

[Red is destruction, blue is indifference, green is disguise, white is nothingness, pink is hypocrisy, purple is mystery, orange is rage, black is home, and yellow—send it to me.]

[Aren't you two moving way too fast?!]

[You guys are already speeding down the highway, while my ship is still at the peekaboo stage. Yeyu, get up! I want this kind of content too!!]

[What did I ever do to deserve Lu family's eldest young master personally providing me with a high-energy audio drama...]

Just as the viewers rubbed their hands together and eagerly awaited how Shen Ranxin would "dry Lu Zhi for him," a red exclamation mark popped up in the livestream.

Below the exclamation mark was a line of enlarged white text.

[This livestream is suspected of spreading inappropriate content. The system has determined it is unsuitable for broadcast and has now been banned!]

The viewers' wild comments caught the livestream platform moderators' attention. The backend flagged an excessive number of inappropriate-content keywords in the chat, triggering the warning threshold.

Director Chen: "?"

With the livestream banned, Director Chen and the staff hurried to argue their case with the platform moderators, desperately explaining, "This really is a proper dating show!"

What kind of proper dating show got banned by the platform for inappropriate content on its first day of airing?!

During the half hour it took to resolve the livestream issue, trending topics began shooting upward at an uncontrollable pace.

#Lu Zhi Dry Mine for Me#

#Instant Heart Uses a Little Yellow Scheme#

Those two hot searches reached the top of the rankings in just half an hour.

After finishing negotiations with the platform moderators, Director Chen immediately charged into Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi's room!

Then he saw Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi rolling around on the bed. Shen Ranxin had one hand gripping Lu Zhi's hair, while the other was raised high, several strands of silver hair still caught between his fingers.

Lu Zhi's hair was a mess, his bathrobe pulled open and scattered apart. His feet hooked deftly around Shen Ranxin's waist, locking Shen Ranxin tightly in his embrace.

Shen Ranxin's lower body was pressed tightly against Lu Zhi's, leaving him unable to struggle free. His face was red from holding it in, yet his upper body refused to surrender as he yanked Lu Zhi's hair like weeds.

"Come on! I'll dry it! I'll fucking dry it for you right now! Does Young Master Lu like it?! Huh?!"

Lu Zhi flipped over and pinned him beneath him. Grinding his teeth, he said viciously, "I like it. I like it a lot. I just love it when Teacher Shen dries my hair. It dries so fucking fast!"

Director Chen: "..."

He walked over, yanked away the clothing covering the camera, and asked with a blank expression, "What are you two doing?"

Only then did they look up upon hearing Director Chen's voice.

Shen Ranxin instantly drove his knee into the place capable of giving Young Master Lu a fear of oversized objects. Lu Zhi let go, rubbed his scalp, and got off Shen Ranxin. "Drying my hair. Teacher Shen said this makes it dry faster, right, Teacher Shen?"

Shen Ranxin put on a professional fake smile and wiped the silver strands from his hand into the nearby trash can. "Yeah, but Young Master Lu sheds a little."

Director Chen: "..."

Director Chen was beginning to regret inviting Shen Ranxin for the sake of publicity.

Shen Ranxin really was not afraid of death.

There was an air of world-weariness about him, the kind of craziness where he did not want to live anymore and wanted to drag the whole world down with him...

Otherwise, why would he keep picking fights with Young Master Lu again and again?!

Lu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ranxin. "Teacher Shen, I still prefer the unruly way you looked just now."

Shen Ranxin grabbed him by the hair, switched on the hair dryer, and began drying Lu Zhi's hair. He smiled faintly at Director Chen. "What is it, Director Chen? Is there anything else?"

Director Chen swallowed and shook his head before turning to leave.

Then, at top speed, he added a huge line of text to the livestream camera feed in Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi's room.

[This dating show is a normal variety program! It does not involve any inappropriate content! Please watch your wording in the chat! Carefully distinguish the livestream content!]

A group of troublemaking viewers found it so hilarious they nearly died laughing at their screens.

Good news: Instant Heart went viral on its first day of broadcast.

Bad news: It went viral because Young Master Lu spoke too provocatively, causing the chat to turn dirty and get the stream banned.
