[Holy shit! Isn't Lan Muxing's question bordering on sexual harassment?]
[This is a dating show! Questions like that are what make it exciting! What else should they do? Sit around staring at each other to kill time?]
[I think Qi Yu should stop being so vague and just announce Bai Luochuan's ID number.]
[All that heartfelt talk is an act. What Alpha isn't affected by pheromones? Didn't practically all those people who claimed they had true love with a Beta end up cheating after marriage?]
[Qi Yu just hasn't experienced how wonderful Omega pheromones are. Lan Muxing is being so forward already. Qi Yu, you stubborn idiot, do something!]
[Alphas and Omegas are true love! Bai Luochuan should take the hint and drop out!]
[The Yu Xing ship is kind of good too. Don't you guys think so?]
On variety shows like this, what viewers enjoyed was precisely the delight of a shipping free-for-all, where they could get a taste of every pairing.
And then there was Lan Muxing's enormous fan base.
The moment he made a move, countless netizens immediately formed the Yu Xing Cult.
Unfortunately, the man himself wasn't cooperating.
Because throughout his speech, Qi Yu had been staring at Bai Luochuan beside him with eyes full of love.
His gaze was simply too direct.
So much so that Bai Luochuan abruptly snapped out of his bewildered state.
Only then did he belatedly realize that their hands, resting beside each other, were still clasped together.
He hurriedly pulled his hand away.
As he hid his hand behind his back, the flush on Bai Luochuan's cheeks grew even more pronounced.
Qi Yu didn't know whether this reaction came from hearing his confession or from their prolonged hand-holding just now.
But either one was good.
At least he could now be certain.
If they took another heart-flutter test today, Bai Luochuan's wristband would definitely go off like crazy for him.
Not getting the answer he wanted, Lan Muxing lowered his head in sadness.
Yan Cheng shifted to the side.
He put a little distance between himself and Lan Muxing.
He admitted that, by comparison, he really did fall short of Qi Yu in every respect.
But hadn't the two of them agreed before coming on the show?
They had clearly agreed to pair up as a ship.
Now Lan Muxing kept jumping out to seduce Qi Yu.
Who was he trying to disgust?
The first round ended, and the second soon began.
Bai Luochuan had no questions he particularly wanted to ask on camera, and of course, neither did Qi Yu.
So it was no different from before.
They both casually called out a number again.
But Yan Cheng kept his eyes fixed on the host's movements.
This time, he succeeded and got the win he had been hoping for.
He didn't direct his question at Lan Muxing.
Yan Cheng's eyes were fixed firmly on Bai Luochuan.
When he asked his question, there was even a hint of gritted teeth in Yan Cheng's voice.
He enunciated every word.
Yan Cheng said, "Bai Luochuan, was everything before just an act?"
This time, Bai Luochuan understood.
By "before," he meant what had happened before they came on this show, or rather, before Bai Luochuan was photographed outside his home.
There had definitely been some tangled connections between the original owner of this body and Yan Cheng.
It was just that the current Bai Luochuan knew nothing about them.
When other people transmigrated, they at least got some grand memory-restoration ability.
Or, like what often appeared in novels and movies.
They had a system bound to them.
But from beginning to end, his transmigration had left him knowing absolutely nothing.
No memories, no understanding.
Even his broad understanding of this world's social framework had come from searching online.
Beyond that, even his familiarity with Yan Cheng's face was thanks to Chen Miao repeating that name beside him every day.
So Bai Luochuan looked utterly blank at Yan Cheng's question.
But the production team's rule was that they had to answer whatever question they were asked.
So after pondering for a moment, Bai Luochuan tossed the question back.
He said, "Don't you know yourself?"
What he meant was that, as the one who had memories, Yan Cheng surely knew more about their shared past than he did.
To Yan Cheng, however, those words sounded like a sarcastic jab.
They finally drove his humiliation-fueled anger to a whole new height.
He shot Bai Luochuan a vicious glare.
Without needing Bai Luochuan to say anything else, Yan Cheng told the host, "I'm done with my question."
He didn't want to hear any other response.
Because he could see it now.
Bai Luochuan, that damned bitch! Who knew what tricks he'd used to latch onto Qi Yu, but now that he'd succeeded, he didn't want anything to do with me anymore.
Beyond anger.
Another, stranger feeling began spreading through his heart.
Yan Cheng didn't want to admit it.
He was jealous.
They had been asked baffling questions two rounds in a row. So during the third round, not only Bai Luochuan but even Qi Yu watched the host's movements intently, determined to guess correctly this time.
Perhaps the host realized everyone was taking it seriously now.
His movements this time were much faster than before.
But Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu were professionals.
So with just one glance.
They already had the answer in mind.
The number-guessing game worked on a first-to-answer basis.
Qi Yu noticed that Bai Luochuan had figured it out, so he deliberately held back a beat.
He left the chance to win to Bai Luochuan.
Before the other man could speak, he reminded him quietly, "Ge, this is such a good opportunity. Don't ask whether you can get paid today again, okay?"
Bai Luochuan: ...
Actually.
His head was completely full of Qi Yu right now.
If Qi Yu hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about chasing up his pay today...
He gave a light cough.
His cheeks reddened with embarrassment.
When the host told Bai Luochuan he could ask his question, Bai Luochuan looked at Qi Yu beside him.
There was so much he wanted to ask.
But none of it seemed particularly suitable to say on camera.
After much deliberation.
Bai Luochuan chose the safest way to ask. "You... haven't lied to me?"
Qi Yu immediately smiled.
It was as though he had been given a question that pleased him immensely.
When he answered, his face even took on a rather inexplicable look of pride.
He looked into Bai Luochuan's eyes.
Qi Yu said each word distinctly. "From the moment we met until now, I haven't lied to you once. I can promise you that whatever you ask me, I'll give you an accurate answer and hold nothing back."
