That answer made me want to call the police

Bai Luochuan stared blankly at Lan Muxing.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Just as Lan Muxing thought Bai Luochuan had finally recognized his good qualities too, Bai Luochuan said earnestly, "Then I hope you find a Beta you like soon and live a happy life."

After saying that, he looked away without the slightest hesitation and turned his attention back to Qi Yu.

Changing the subject, Bai Luochuan asked with some concern, "Can Alphas really not live without Omega pheromones?"

Back when they were gaming, there had been a screen between them.

It hadn't felt so obvious.

Qi Yu had never shown him his vulnerable side, either.

But now that this issue had been brought up.

Bai Luochuan still couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Although the question concerned Qi Yu himself, he seemed utterly untroubled when he heard it.

He shook his head with a soft chuckle.

He said, "Medicine is advancing very quickly now. Although pheromone-related issues can't be completely resolved, some very good countermeasures have already been developed."

"From the time I differentiated into an Alpha until now, I haven't relied on Omega pheromones even once. The suppressants the hospital provides are enough for me to live normally."

"Look for yourself, bro. I haven't gone crazy, have I?"

He said it so naturally.

And judging by what he had shown, he really didn't seem to be lying.

Bai Luochuan felt relieved for the moment.

Meanwhile, the live comments had erupted into complete chaos:

[I'm dying of laughter! Bai Luochuan's heart really does grow and shrink, drift away and draw close! Did you seriously not pick up on Lan Muxing confessing to you at all?]

[What difference would it make if he did? Can't you see? All of Bai Luochuan's attention is on Qi Yu. Does he care about anyone else?]

[I'm a little curious about what's going on with Yan Cheng and Lan Muxing. Are they getting new scripts for the second half of the show?]

[It's not scripted at all! Lan Muxing is clearly a successful case of the Suspension Bridge Effect! You saved my life, so I'll give myself to you! I've said all those words he couldn't get out for him!]

[Bai Luochuan: Back, back, back! Can't I just give you money? Who wants your body?]

[Bai Luochuan: Even if I fooled around with men, I wouldn't fool around with your kind.]

Their private discussion ended there.

The host returned to stand before everyone.

He had brought the arrangements for the next round of activities.

A mock blind date.

Once again, they would draw lots.

After drawing lots, they would enter different rooms.

There would be two people to a room, facing each other with a partition between them, and each person would also be fitted with a voice-changing device.

Then, following the Production Team's prompts, both sides would discuss some topics about the future.

If the discussion went well, they could jointly request to become a new pair of teammates.

Of course, if they didn't click, they could also end the pairing once they came out.

For the draw, everyone entered a small room to draw their lots separately.

Once they had drawn, they needed to enter the room matching their number and wait.

Bai Luochuan drew room "1."

After he entered, a staff member led him behind the partition in the middle. They gave him a voice changer to put on, then reminded him that he could neither reveal his identity nor lift the partition during the conversation.

A slip of paper lay in front of him, with several questions written on it.

These were the questions he would need to ask shortly.

Bai Luochuan nodded to show he understood.

A minute later.

He heard the sound of a chair being pulled out on the other side of the partition.

According to the rules, Bai Luochuan's side would ask first.

He glanced at the questions on the slip.

Bai Luochuan felt the corner of his eye twitch twice despite himself.

Still, he dutifully followed the rules and asked, "Would you mind if your partner had no money or job and spent every day at home eating, drinking, and having fun without taking care of anything?"

The person opposite him seemingly hadn't expected such an absurd question.

After freezing for a few seconds, he finally answered, "It isn't really good for young people to sit around at home doing nothing... What I mean is, if possible, I'd still hope my partner could have a steady job. At least for him personally, that would be relatively normal, wouldn't it?"

Even with the voice changer.

Just from the manner and tone of that answer.

Bai Luochuan had figured it out.

The person sitting opposite him was most likely Lan Muxing.

He didn't feel much about it.

He simply continued to the next question.

Bai Luochuan asked, "Would you hand over your entire salary after marriage?"

The other person remained resistant. "Since my partner has his own job, he should be able to cover his own expenses. We can both contribute to household expenses. I feel like giving him money would be a little insulting to him."

From the answers to those two questions.

One could deduce the wording of the third question.

Bai Luochuan took a look: ...

I'm done for.

I'm going to sound like a toxic jerk.

The Production Team urged him through his earpiece to ask the third question.

Bai Luochuan took a deep breath. "You won't do this, and you won't do that. What makes you think anyone would want to be with you?"

On the other side of the partition.

There was a long silence.

He could sense it.

His questions were about to break Lan Muxing.

[What is the Production Team doing? Why are they bullying him like this? I think Mu Xing's answers were all right! Aren't they deliberately trying to break him?]

[Oh my god, even though I know he's following a script, Lan Muxing only just fell for Bai Luochuan. How upset would he be if they lifted the partition and he found out it was Bai Luochuan?]

[But those two really aren't very compatible. If Bai Luochuan answered the second question, he'd definitely be frantically handing over money, hahaha!]

[Bai Luochuan has absolutely maxed out the resolve to support a man even if it means going without food or drink himself, okay!]

[You're still laughing? Do you even have hearts? Can't you see Lan Muxing is about to cry? How could a fragile Omega possibly withstand being put through this?]

[Exactly! Not just Omegas. Other people couldn't handle questions like these either, could they?]

[That's really not true...]

[I suggest you check out the room next door. Qi Yu's answers made me want to call the police!!!]
