Yu Dog Actually Turned Down God Yun?

The director's eyes lit up. They had another talking point.

He hurried out to announce, "In this situation, the planner gets to choose their partner instead."

Yu Xiuyuan slumped on the sofa with a face a mile long. Was this a joke? I gave it such a tacky name, and Yun Chuan still picked it?

Turning down such a handsome award-winning actor hurts.

The four planners sat side by side. Only the Art Tour had gone unchosen. Lin Qingnuan wore a smile, but her nails were nearly digging through her palms.

The other two showed little expression. Only Yu Xiuyuan looked thoroughly sour.

Sure enough, the viewers were misled into thinking the Art Tour was his.

"Hahaha, Yu Dog looks so pissed. Nobody picked him, huh?"

"Yu Dog actually thought someone would choose him? Does he have no self-awareness?"

"An Art Tour? Who wants to mess around with art on a date with you?"

"Take a good look at yourself. What do you know about art?"

The director put on a show of calling through his little megaphone. "Would the planner of our 'Lazybones Wellness Tour' please step forward and choose a partner!"

Everyone looked at the four of them, guessing who the planner was.

Under everyone's gaze, Yu Xiuyuan sprang to his feet. Without hesitating for even a second, he announced, "I choose Li Rou." Then he plopped straight back onto the sofa.

Step forward, my ass. You're lucky I even stood up for show.

Nobody had time to react except Li Rou, who leaned forward and exclaimed, "The wellness tour was yours? You picked me?" Then she gave an awkward little smile and gently settled back into her seat.

Yu Xiuyuan turned toward her, hesitating. "Uh... is there something wrong with it being mine? Now that you know it's me, do you want to back out?"

Li Rou hurriedly waved her hands. "No, no! I'm just a little surprised."

She looked gentle and composed, but her thoughts fired off like a machine gun. Are you kidding? How would I dare turn you down? What if you start cursing me out? I can't afford to cross you, so I'll just treat you like royalty, okay? Besides, in a way, I beat God Yun. That feels a tiny bit satisfying, ha.

Hearing that she wasn't backing out, Yu Xiuyuan let out a small breath of relief and explained, "I said I wouldn't cling to God Yun anymore. How could I dare choose him?"

Li Rou's eyes widened slightly before she gave another gentle smile.

Looking at the smile on Li Rou's lips, Yu Xiuyuan felt that something was a little off.

Unlike Li Rou's gentle smile, the live chat was a raging thunderstorm.

"It was actually Yu Dog?"

"Then why did he look so pissed? What a poser!!"

"Is Yu Dog serious? He really isn't riding God Yun's coattails anymore?"

"Looks like it. He wasn't scowling at first. His face only darkened when God Yun said he wanted the Lazybones Wellness Tour."

"God Yun chose him, and he actually scowled? Yu Dog, do you even deserve him?"

"Yu Dog actually turned down God Yun? Who does he think he is!"

"Pah! I'm unhappy whether Yu Dog picks God Yun or not."

Soon, #YuDogActuallyDidntChooseGodYun# shot up the trending list, and Yu Xiuyuan's follower count rose rapidly too. Of course, they were all new hate-followers.

From the moment Yu Xiuyuan stood up to when he said he didn't dare choose him, Yun Chuan's expression never changed. His calm composure seemed welded to his face.

In the end, he merely smiled at the director and said, "In that case, I'll choose the Art Tour."

Lin Qingnuan lowered her head, hiding her expression.

Another wave of gushing comments about a golden couple and a match made in heaven swept through the live chat, but Yun Chuan's fans quickly drowned it out.

The director then announced the other two pairings.

Looking at the silent Fang Yi, Wen Lin pretended to be delighted, bouncing around him in circles. He also tried hard to chat with him and liven things up, but Fang Yi only ever responded flatly.

The last pair, Lin Xi and Su Ziming, were both singers. Unfortunately, both were quiet types, and their activity was "Recharging in Silence." Somehow, that piqued people's curiosity, and quite a few viewers planned to find time to peek into their livestream later.

Once the selection was over, everyone set off one after another.

Fang Yi had arranged shooting practice. There was no deeper meaning to it; he was simply frustrated and wanted to blow off steam.

Then Wen Lin ended up choosing him, making him even more frustrated.

Finally having a chance to be alone with him, Wen Lin seized the opportunity. Holding a bow, he tilted his head and complained in distress, "Archery seems so hard. I've never tried it before. Could you teach me?"

In the past, Fang Yi would definitely have given him an indulgent smile, followed by some intimately close instruction.

But now, none of that happened.

Fang Yi simply called over the venue's archery instructor to teach him, then silently drew his own bow to its full extent and kept firing arrows.

Wen Lin clenched his back teeth and interacted amiably with the instructor.

Fang Yi liked him so much and had done so much for him. Wen Lin had a feeling that, no matter what happened, Fang Yi would always be there to back him up.

The two didn't interact, and the fans who had shipped them before fell silent too.

Yet Fang Yi's silent archery practice unexpectedly stripped away his sleazy air, instead attracting a group of fans who stayed in his livestream.

Su Ziming took Lin Xi to a library. The two powerhouse vocalists had chosen the quietest possible kind of date.

The handsome man and beautiful woman sat bathed in sunlight, quietly reading with their heads lowered and occasionally turning a page. The scene was easy on the eyes, but unfortunately, there was no chemistry.

Lin Qingnuan got her wish of going on a date with Yun Chuan, but the incident at the start left her feeling a little awkward.

Yun Chuan behaved like a gentleman, reminding her to watch her step on the stairs. He was attentive and considerate, but there was absolutely no romantic atmosphere to their date, making it impossible to get invested in them as a couple.

Watching the various livestreams, the director worriedly tugged at his hair. Where had things gone wrong?

This is a dating show!

Why isn't there any romance at all? Even the existing shippers have lost interest!

I'm not running a divorce show, am I?

As he tugged at his hair for the thirtieth time, the assistant director caught his wrist. "Have mercy, Director. Keep pulling and you'll go bald. The viewer count in Yu Xiuyuan's livestream is climbing fast."

The director saw hope.

He rushed over to the monitor and saw that Yu Xiuyuan had brought over two rocking chairs from somewhere and was lounging in one, soaking up the sun.

He had even carefully positioned Li Rou's rocking chair in the shade of a tree.

Yu Xiuyuan reclined in his rocking chair, his slippers tossed aside, revealing slender ankles and fair, soft feet.

With his arms folded behind his head as a pillow, his white T-shirt rode up slightly, exposing his slim waist.

Defined collarbones, rosy lips, curling lashes-he was so beautiful that he seemed to glow.

The director nodded inwardly at the scene. Beautiful people ought to live in such leisurely comfort.

As the rocking chair swayed, Yu Xiuyuan grew drowsy.

He heard Li Rou ask hesitantly, "Are we just going to sunbathe? Is that really okay?"

Yu Xiuyuan struggled to lift his eyelids, belatedly realizing that Li Rou might want more screen time and exposure.

But I really don't want to move~

The sunlight dazzled his eyes, so he raised a hand to shade them. "Did you have something else in mind? I just figured we could laze around in the sun and still get paid. Isn't slacking off on the clock great?"

"No, nothing else. This is lovely. I haven't had such a relaxing time in ages." Li Rou hurriedly waved her hands, terrified that Yu Xiuyuan might change his mind.

She worked hard to suppress the upward curl of her lips, mentally telling her manager, who nagged like a preacher, Yu Xiuyuan arranged this activity. It's not that I'm refusing to make an effort.

Then she lay back, closed her eyes, and rocked away with a clear conscience.

It was so comfortable that her tension inevitably eased, and she began to chat.

"The song you sang yesterday was really good. It stayed on the trending list for ages."
