Shen Siyi's words undoubtedly added more fuel to the already boiling atmosphere in the livestream.
[Yu Xinyan really dares to ask anything! He even brought up sleeping naked. Actually, you could go a little further. We wouldn't mind if you directly asked whether he caught a chill while "playing" without clothes on~]
[Keyword "last night" triggered!! Looks like that little clever clogs Chen Mingyi got it right again. He really did lie about "not sleeping together last night," the little liar.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. So this must be the part Shen Siyi meant when he said he'd been watching the livestream before coming. Then he hurried onto the show because he was afraid he wouldn't have a place in the relationship, right?]
[Oh my, Shen Siyi, if you ask me, you're already "burning" like this. Why would you still need Song Nianxing to feel you up~]
[If you're going to be a good person, "do it" all the way. We just don't know exactly how that "doing" works.]
Hearing Shen Siyi's words and seeing everyone's eyes focus on him, Song Nianxing couldn't help panicking for a moment.
Shen Siyi's confession that night echoed in his mind again.
Shen Siyi wanted a response from him.
So every choice he made now might be taken by Shen Siyi as his "answer." In that case, before he figured out his own thoughts, he shouldn't casually make physical contact with Shen Siyi anymore, should he?
At that thought, Song Nianxing's gaze flickered a few times, then briefly settled on Shen Siyi before quickly darting away as he said, "I... I can see Senior Shen has a rosy complexion and is speaking smoothly. Even without touching him, I can tell he definitely doesn't have a fever anymore."
Shen Siyi's eyes darkened imperceptibly.
Yet inwardly, he felt a little excited.
His Ah Xing was starting to distance himself from him.
It seemed he was thinking about the response Shen Siyi had mentioned that day.
How nice. If Ah Xing distanced himself first, that gave him a reason to "play dirty." "You were the one who didn't want me first, so you can't blame me for leaving you behind too~"
But after hearing Song Nianxing's answer and looking at Shen Siyi's expression, Chen Mingyi gave a quiet click of her tongue. "A rosy complexion? Why do I think Senior Shen's expression doesn't look so good right now?"
Du Yuesi gave another loud cough.
She had figured it out. Song Nianxing had just sort of rejected Shen Siyi. There was definitely something between those two that the rest of them didn't know about, and it wasn't something they could meddle in.
With that thought, she hurriedly reached out and pulled Chen Mingyi toward her, then smoothed things over. "Maybe Senior Shen really is still feeling a little unwell. Speaking of which, we've been here so long. Why hasn't the PD come out to tell us this week's schedule yet?"
No sooner had Du Yuesi finished than the PD's voice rang out. "Coming, coming. Something came up, so I'm late. First, we still have to welcome and thank all our guests for joining us for the second week's live broadcast of 'Starstruck Moments.'"
"As you all know, we're currently on an island. Please note that apart from our production crew, there is-not-a-single-person on this island right now. And this week's theme is the sweet thrills of dawn and dusk."
"The heart-fluttering messages and intimacy tasks will continue as usual, but this time, we've raised the intimacy level of the tasks, and-"
As he spoke, the PD showed the guests and the camera the card he was holding.
Three large characters were written on the card.
[Punishment card]
"And this time, we'll assess how well you complete the intimacy tasks. The pair with the poorest performance will receive the following punishments, including but not limited to-"
As he spoke, the PD turned sideways and gestured toward an electronic display standing on the island.
The display flickered, then lines of punishments appeared:
(A dark room you can't leave unless you speak the truth)
(A hot spring pool you can't escape unless you "help" with your mouth)
(A cage where you can only die of thirst unless you kiss on the lips)
(An iron box where you'll freeze into a block of ice unless you hug)
(A one-way glass room of burning passion where you must remove one piece of clothing unless your heart flutters)
Seeing what was displayed, the livestream chat almost instantly exploded.
[Holy shit!! I'm starting to wonder whether I'm even allowed to watch this. They're showing me this when I haven't paid for VIP. If I did pay, wouldn't they just do it right in front of me?!]
[Wait, for a moment there, I actually couldn't tell whether these were punishments or rewards.]
[We "Gleaming Starlight" fans graciously accept the first punishment. We "Gleaming Starlight" fans graciously accept the second punishment too. We "Gleaming Starlight" fans graciously accept the third, fourth, and fifth punishments as well.]
[You "Gleaming Starlight" fans came prepared, huh? I'll accept one on behalf of "Taro Balls" too. (Please.)]
[So that's what they mean by sweet thrills. Then what do dawn and dusk mean? Once each in the morning and evening?]
[Think bigger, sisters. Seven times each, morning and evening!]
The guests there couldn't stay calm either as they looked at those punishments.
"Then... then how far do we have to go with the intimacy tasks for them to count as satisfactory?" Song Nianxing was the first to ask in confusion.
He had originally been thinking he could avoid too much contact with Shen Siyi as much as possible. But now that this rule had been introduced, avoiding contact would instead mean "being touched" even more excessively.
"Well, that..." The PD's eyes instantly narrowed with amusement. "That depends on the livestream viewers' opinions. Every day, we'll have the viewers vote for the two best-performing pairs and the two worst-performing pairs that day. The bad performers will be punished, while the good performers will be rewarded."
"There are rewards too? What rewards?" Yu Xinyan exclaimed in surprise.
Yuan Man immediately followed up. "Wait! Two pairs plus two pairs means there have to be four pairs, right? But there are only six of us altogether."
The PD immediately shook his head with a meaningful smile. "Good question. So next, let's welcome our new guests, who will make their entrance with the reward information they've learned!"
The moment the PD finished speaking, the screen that had just been displaying the punishments went black.
Chen Mingyi said, "Holy crap, the screen went black. What does he mean, 'they've learned'?"
Du Yuesi said, "Could it be like that sexual orientation and sex life thing last time, where the reward information and punishments aren't shared with the other side?"
As they discussed it, four RVs drove onto the beach one after another.
The young man who got out first had a pair of black over-ear headphones hanging around his neck. His red baseball jacket formed a vivid contrast with the blue sea behind him, giving him a strikingly lively, youthful appearance.
The man who got out right after him wore a moon-white shirt, paired with pale blue jeans that complemented the waves. The breeze lifted the wisps of hair over his forehead and the hem of his outer shirt, as though carrying aloft his clean aura, like flawless moonlight, along with them.
After him, the doors of the other two vehicles opened almost simultaneously.
Of the two men who emerged, one wore a black suit jacket over an openwork fishnet top through which the contours of his muscles were visible. An especially exquisite tasseled ear cuff hung from his left ear, and his rakish air poured out without the slightest restraint.
The other man's style was completely different from his, with just an all-black tracksuit, understated and cold.
After getting out, the two looked at each other for a moment before walking toward Song Nianxing and the others.
As each guest appeared on camera, his information popped up in the livestream.
1 (Si Bonian, superstar singer) 2 (Xu Sui, singer-songwriter) 3 (Qi Huan, actor) 4 (Ji Yu, internationally renowned director and producer of numerous hit films and television series)
The chat immediately erupted into restless chatter again.
[Holy shit, I'll say it another N times: the "Starstruck Moments" production team is amazing. Everyone they invite is a big shot. They've brought in all the hardest people to book in the entertainment industry and even gathered them together.]
[Hahahaha, our Director Ji is still living by his own words: if you choose to be flamboyant, you have to see it through to the end. Today he's even wearing fishnet.]
[That look he and Qi Huan exchanged when they got out is seriously killing me. Have neither of them ever seen someone of the other's type before? One's a showy peacock, the other's a straitlaced guy. They must've both thought "holy shit" just now, hahahaha.]
[Honestly, production team, don't we already know all this? Can't you give us something we don't know? Are you capable of doing that or not?!]
That comment had only just appeared when another set of information popped up in the livestream the next second.
(Dusk Group guests) Si Bonian × Xu Sui [Already broken up] Qi Huan × Ji Yu [Already divorced]
