Tonight, after everyone returned to the house, they had to choose again, picking their partners for tomorrow's task.
This time, however, the selection order was reversed. Fan Shaohan and Yan Nana had been the last two left yesterday, so they played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would choose first. After that, yesterday's chosen partners would pick tomorrow's dates in the order of yesterday's winners.
Yan Nana won and chose Gu Weichen without another word.
As long as nothing was settled yet, she still had a chance. The Gu Group was a real prize! She absolutely could not give up.
Gu Weichen's expression was icy. He showed no reaction whatsoever to Yan Nana choosing him, just as though he had no feelings for her at all.
Shen Xuanrun also stiffened for a moment. Once he recovered, he slowly lowered his head.
Gu Weichen was chosen by Yan Nana. Will he fall for her? Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?
Gu Weichen, who had been watching Shen Xuanrun the whole time, instantly softened his gaze after hearing his thoughts. It seemed the young man was interested in him too.
Holding on to One Cent: I noticed it! When Gu Weichen first heard Yan Nana's answer, his expression was cold, but after glancing at Shen Xuanrun, he immediately started smiling, and even his eyes softened. Ah, I ship them so hard!
What Remains: Sob, sob, sob, Yan Nana still hasn't given up. Why is she trying to break up my ship? No! Runrun is upset, isn't he?
My Ship Must Not Be Broken Up: Runrun even lowered his head. He must be so upset! You absolutely cannot split up! Stay locked together! Lock them together for me. And this Yan Nana—Gu Weichen already said he likes men, so why won't she give up?
When it was Fan Shaohan's turn, she had no one she was interested in. She could also tell that Ding Zeyang liked Deng Yingying, and Wei Wenbo liked Shen Xuanrun. To give them a chance, she finally chose Feng Mengjie.
Fan Shaohan: There really wasn't any other meaning to it. Just as the phrase suggests, I wanted to watch the show.
Then it was Wei Wenbo's turn to choose. After thinking for a moment, he chose Shen Xuanrun.
Gu Weichen had already been chosen by someone else anyway, and it wasn't over yet, so he could still give it a try. What if he successfully stole him away?
There was no denying that Shen Xuanrun really was his type. That beauty, those looks, that bearing-someone like him was a rare find.
Willing to Draw a Prison Around Myself for You: Oh-ho, the plot is getting dramatic! Shen Xuanrun and Gu Weichen have hit a romantic crisis!
Tears That Topple a City: Both of them have been snatched away by romantic rivals. What now? President Gu, you're in danger. You haven't even won him over yet! And someone else has already cut in!
Get Lost If You Don't Love Me: Am I the only one who noticed how bewildered Shen Xuanrun looks? I think he said before that he likes girls. Hahahahaha, but everyone choosing him is a guy.
Flower Among Thorns: Hahahaha, hic! Shen Xuanrun says, someone is finally willing to speak up for me.
After Shen Xuanrun returned to his room, his father called.
"Dad, what is it?"
"I watched that variety show of yours! I won't agree to this! My lovely, fresh-faced boy-I absolutely will not let that swine Gu Weichen get his snout into you! Son! Don't let that scoundrel's sweet talk lure you away!"
Dad Shen's roar came through, nearly deafening Shen Xuanrun.
"Dad, I like girls. Don't overthink it."
Although Shen Xuanrun said he liked girls, even he noticed that his voice seemed to lack conviction, let alone Dad Shen, who was now suspicious of everything.
"Son! Why do you sound so unsure? Be firm! I won't allow it! Aaaaaaah! Listen to your dad. Stop filming! I'll support you!"
Fortunately, Shen Xuanrun moved his phone away in time.
The internet had already gone wild.
Sunny Girl: Hahahaha, hic, Dad Shen has gone mad! Doesn't he look like an old father who suddenly discovers that his sweet daughter is about to be rooted up by some pig outside? Grab a knife, Dad Shen!
Whatever Little Princess: "I'll support you!" Hahahaha, Dad Shen is that adorable? No wonder he raised my silly wife to be so adorable too. Dad Shen, let me kiss your son first ⚈₃⚈ hehe.
Riding a Donkey to Find a Donkey: Dad Shen: Gu Weichen, you little bastard, you dare get your snout into my darling dau... no, son! Either you die or I live! Where's my forty-meter-long machete?!
Warmth After the Rain: Shen Xuanrun! Did you seriously just move your phone away? (￣▽￣) How sad would Dad Shen be if he knew?
Dad Shen was about to roar again, but fortunately, Mom Shen took the phone in time.
"Sonny, ignore your dad. If you like him, just say yes! Mom will always support you."
Dad Shen's roar came from beside her.
"I won't allow it!!!"
"Shut up!"
The moment Mom Shen spoke, Dad Shen immediately turned into a whimpering creature.
A Heart Full of Xian and Jie: This whole family seems to be a bunch of jokers! They're completely different from the lofty, wealthy aristocrats I imagined. Are they really this down-to-earth?
Habits Take Shape: Mom Shen is so open-minded. She actually supports Shen Xuanrun's views. Dad Shen is going to cry himself to death. Hahahaha, hic!
Someone from Wu Xin the Monster Killer: So Dad Shen is henpecked! The moment Mom Shen speaks, Dad Shen turns into a whimpering creature. So cute!
"Mom, I really only see him as a friend."
Shen Xuanrun still refused to give up as he said it, although now, he felt that he, too, seemed a little uncertain.
"Yes, yes, yes, just an ordinary friend. Is he that ordinary friend who brought you home last time?"
But Mom Shen did not believe him at all, and she was very eager for gossip.
Shen Xuanrun... Mom, could you sound a little less dismissive? Then I might actually believe you.
"Yes, it's him. He only treated me to a meal."
"Oh, oh, so you've already progressed to treating each other to meals! That's pretty fast."
Shen Xuanrun: Mommy, you really know how to answer a question I didn't ask.
Dad Shen's roar came through the phone again, but within three seconds, Mom Shen ruthlessly suppressed it.
North Woods West Gate: Mom Shen really knows how to ship a couple. She won't even spare her own son. Runrun has it so hard.
Self-Healing: Seeing Mom Shen feels like seeing myself. Once I get carried away shipping a couple, I won't believe anything you say.
Give Me Your Heart, Please: Mom Shen: Sonny, Mommy will just pretend to believe that nonsense of yours.
Shen Xuanrun was mentally exhausted. He declared that he did not want to say anything anymore. Let this world be destroyed! (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻
"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"All right, sonny, have fun on the variety show! It would be best if you could bring home a son-in-law, you know."
Dad Shen's cry of "No!" was cut off when the call ended.
Shen Xuanrun collapsed limply onto the bed. The world was finally quiet.
With Gu Weichen's confession today and his date with Wei Wenbo tomorrow, his head was about to swell. Why was this world so difficult?!
