[Did I get the female lead's script?]
She could hardly be blamed for wondering. Overtaking Xue Ruyin was simply unbelievable!
She stole a glance at Xue Ruyin. Just as she had expected, the other woman's face was as black as thunder.
The others probably hadn't expected this either, and they all looked toward Su Tangtang. They had all thought the same thing: when they checked Weibo after six, Chen Sinian and Xue Ruyin were miles ahead. Overtaking them seemed impossible, so they hadn't held out any hope or paid much attention afterward.
What was going on now?
Su Tangtang had overtaken her in just an hour?
How was that possible? None of them could have managed it...
Had she really gotten the female lead's script?
Puzzled, Su Tangtang hurriedly scrolled through the posts. [Huh? Xiao Ziyao helped me?]
[He posted on Weibo asking people to like my post?]
Everyone: Oh~
Well, that explained it.
Xiao Ziyao might have seemed uncompetitive and barely noticeable, but as the internet's hottest musical genius, he had fans who could really spring into action.
With his help, overtaking Xue Ruyin in an hour made perfect sense.
Everyone else had figured it out, but Su Tangtang still scratched her head. [Wait, he said on Weibo that I'd helped him before, and that's why he asked his fans to give me likes. But when did I ever help him? Why don't I know about it? Yesterday was clearly our first meeting, and we barely even spoke.]
She didn't know, but everyone else understood perfectly. It had to be about his Childhood Friend.
Hadn't she said yesterday that he had already found her and forcibly pinned her down on a bed?
Xue Ruyin understood too. Her fingers dug into each other hard enough to leave marks, almost drawing blood. Su Tangtang really had gotten damn lucky, having a book like that.
Even so, she still wore a faint smile. "Tangtang, congratulations."
Su Tangtang glanced her way. "Thanks."
[What great acting. She's practically mad with jealousy, yet she can still talk to me so calmly.]
(ˉ▽ ̄~) ~~
Xue Ruyin: "..."
Under everyone's gazes, she kept her gentle smile and raised a hand to brush back her hair.
[What does she have to be so smug about? Without Xiao Ziyao, could she have overtaken Yin Yin on her own?]
[Classic case of getting a windfall and still acting coy. Daily question: when is she getting out of the entertainment industry?]
Aside from Xue Ruyin's fans, who came over to curse at her and vent their frustration over being overtaken, no other fan groups seemed to be doing so.
They had probably seen what happened on Weibo and were all wondering exactly what Su Tangtang had done to help Xiao Ziyao. He had personally posted asking his fans to give her likes, and even made an exceedingly rare appearance in several fan groups.
[I'm curious. @Xiao Ziyao @Su Tangtang, can you two come explain what she helped with? After that furious scene on yesterday's livestream, I thought you two had serious beef!]
[+111111. After yesterday's livestream, weren't people even arguing that Xiao Ziyao left the industry because of Su Tangtang? I honestly never expected this turn of events today.]
[Use your brains. Do you know who Brother Yao is? An insider revealed that he's the young master of an incredibly wealthy family. In all his years in the industry, nobody has dared treat him badly. Even if Su Tangtang has a financial backer, no matter how powerful they are, they couldn't make Xiao Ziyao leave. Get it?]
People online analyzed it every which way without reaching any conclusion.
But never mind them-even Su Tangtang herself couldn't figure it out.
Even when she went into the "Heartbeat Moment" room to write today's love letter, she still hadn't worked out what she had helped Xiao Ziyao with.
In the end, she stopped worrying about it, shook her head, and decided to ask him the next time they met.
She picked up her pen and began writing today's love letter.
At nine thirty, everyone went out into the courtyard together.
Night had deepened, everything hazy in the darkness, with only a few dim yellow lamps casting light into the night.
This time, nobody returned from the Peach Blossom Tree empty-handed.
The letter in Su Tangtang's hand was once again from Chen Sinian.
However, she hadn't written to Chen Sinian. She had written to Qi Zhaoyi instead.
As she watched Qi Zhaoyi return after collecting his envelope, she stroked her chin and kept studying him. [Now that I've written to him, I wonder if his mom will come find me and throw a bank card at me?]
Everyone: "..."
Qi Zhaoyi: "..."
You still haven't forgotten about that, have you?
As for the two pairs, Xue Ruyin and Liao Xuliang, and Qiao Yufan and Xu Yuntong, they had naturally written to each other.
When the viewers saw that, the live comments filled with declarations of how sweet they were.
But when Chen Sinian wrote to Su Tangtang and ended up returning with only a letter from An Ruzhi, his fans didn't know how to react.
[Guys, what do I do? I'm actually starting to feel like Su Tangtang doesn't know a good thing when she sees it!]
[But if she really wrote to Brother Nian and they liked each other, I'd be so upset.]
[Holy crap, girl, you're another version of me! I honestly don't know whether to be happy or sad right now!]
Once everyone had collected their letters, the assistant director spoke. "That's about it for today. Head back and get some rest early. After breakfast tomorrow morning, this episode will be over."
The Dating Reality Show had twelve episodes in total, each lasting two days, Saturday and Sunday, so office workers and students could catch the livestream.
Tomorrow was Monday. The first episode would end, and the next broadcast wouldn't begin until the following Saturday.
Everyone nodded at the assistant director, then got up and went inside together.
With yesterday's experience behind her, An Ruzhi asked as soon as they entered their room, "Tangtang, who wrote your letter?"
Su Tangtang knew she had written to Chen Sinian again today, so she hesitated once more. [Should I... should I show her?]
[She's so deeply in love with Chen Sinian. What if she gets up in the middle of the night and kills me?]
An Ruzhi: "..."
Was she that sort of person?
She had only written to Chen Sinian because he was the best-looking of all the male guests.
She had actually wanted to write to Su Tangtang, but the Production Team had strictly forbidden them from writing to someone of the same sex.
At that thought, she sneaked another glance at Su Tangtang's face, then quickly looked away.
Her lashes fluttered, and her cheeks were slightly pink. "Um, if you don't want to show me, it's fine. I don't have to look."
What could she do? Su Tangtang was pretty, and pretty people got the final say.
After much hesitation, Su Tangtang handed it to her anyway. [This rich girl doesn't look stupid. I haven't written to Chen Sinian either time, so she should be able to tell I'm not interested in him. She won't go around killing innocent people, right?]
An Ruzhi: "!!!"
She called her smart!!!
Aaaaaah, that meant she probably liked her, right?
Once she got home tomorrow, she would go shopping and buy her a bag!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She took the envelope Su Tangtang handed her, then gave it back without even looking at the signature.
Su Tangtang: "?"
[She's that angry? She won't even look at Chen Sinian's name?]
An Ruzhi: "??"
Huh, huh, huh? Who was angry?
