Just like last night.

Today's room assignments would still be decided by everyone's votes for who made their hearts flutter.

But the voting method was different from yesterday's.

Today, everyone would sit together to vote.

In other words, the voting would be completely public, letting everyone see who had voted for them and who hadn't.

The Production Team was stirring up trouble all over again.

But from a dating show's perspective, letting everyone know who was attracted to them might not be such a bad thing.

"Now, please look at the screen. We'll be showing footage the Production Team captured of each person's activities today. Once everyone's clips have finished playing, you can all vote together."

The host explained the rules.

They weren't too different from yesterday's.

And of course, everyone had their wristbands on today, too.

They could accurately monitor everyone's heart rate. Even if someone didn't realize their own heart had fluttered, the speed of their heartbeat would tell everyone through the wristband.

The first clip to appear on the screen was Lan Muxing's.

He really was cute and pretty.

But the entertainment industry had never lacked cute, pretty people.

Everyone here had seen it all.

Watching Lan Muxing's clip, even those who offered a few compliments had no reaction from the wristbands on their wrists. Everything remained perfectly calm.

The second clip was Yan Cheng's.

Even Yan Cheng himself had originally thought everyone would gloss over his footage just as they had Lan Muxing's.

But to his surprise, when the footage reached the part where he had split up with Lan Muxing on the cliff, the wristband on Lan Muxing's wrist suddenly beeped twice.

That meant his emotions had fluctuated.

[Lan Muxing really does still have feelings for him! I told you, if you really like someone, there's no way you can part that decisively without any reaction!]

[Your heartbeat can't lie! Baby Mu Xing, you really are still in love!]

[Waaah, Yan Cheng, you scumbag! If you turn back now, I can still forgive you!]

[What is this, some tortured romance? I want to see my ship being sweet together! Yan Cheng, I order you! Apologize right this instant!]

[I know this kind of ruins the mood, but... does seriously no one think Lan Muxing's heart might be racing because he's angry?]

That last comment was drowned out by the fans' expressions of sympathy.

They all thought their baby Mu Xing was the gentlest, cutest, kindest person in the world.

So words like "anger" absolutely couldn't exist in his vocabulary!

But in reality.

Lan Muxing's heart was racing precisely because he was angry.

Whenever he thought of the indignity he had suffered today, he desperately wanted to stand up and give Yan Cheng two hard slaps.

But he couldn't.

Because the persona he had always maintained in public didn't allow him to do that.

So he could only bottle up all his anger and hurt.

He bottled it up so much that he felt as though his whole body was developing lumps.

How could his heart not race!?

But facing the camera, Lan Muxing merely lowered his head and drew back his wristband, which had already stopped beeping. He hid it beneath his other hand, then gave a bitter, wounded smile.

As though he bore all the despair and pain alone.

Even faced with the scumbag walking away, he only responded with a smile.

It hit exactly what people online loved most about their stereotypical view of omegas.

Out of the camera's sight, Lan Muxing slowly clenched his fist.

Production Team, hurry up and move on to someone else!

My fists are itching!

If you don't switch soon, I'm seriously going to hit someone!

Fortunately, the clips had a limited runtime, and soon it moved on to the next person.

He Gui's and Chu Zhu's videos passed without a ripple.

Then came Bai Luochuan's video.

First came the sight of him standing beside Qi Yu, smiling brilliantly.

As though that smile could dispel every trouble in the world.

His smile was incredibly infectious.

Unfortunately, it wasn't directed at him.

So even Yan Cheng wasn't sure whether his wristband was beeping because his heart had fluttered or because anger had gone straight to his heart.

Then came the sight of him suddenly breaking into a run on the glass walkway.

And his dazed look while bungee jumping.

As well as his unhesitating rescue.

While the footage played, Bai Luochuan himself said he wanted some water and temporarily got up from their seats.

It wasn't because he felt embarrassed to see himself on screen.

It was because of the noise.

It genuinely made his ears hurt!

Heaven knew, with several wristbands gathered together beeping nonstop, it sounded like someone had thrown a person into a cage with several hundred birds.

The racket was giving Bai Luochuan a bit of a headache.

But the others present didn't leave.

He Gui and Chu Zhu hadn't reached the point of feeling their hearts flutter, but they also felt it would be a little inappropriate to leave their seats.

The other three, meanwhile, had entered a truly baffling state.

They seemed to have launched a silent competition.

They were trying hard to see whose wristband could beep louder and longer.

As though that could better prove their love.

It made the scene even more chaotic.

The host's voice was almost inaudible.

The host took out a microphone.

He shouted, "Please-take-off-your-wristbands-first-"

No one paid him any attention.

And every one of them had their eyes fixed intently on the screen.

As though afraid of missing a single beautiful sight.

A few seconds later, He Gui and Chu Zhu came over for water, too.

Because, seemingly realizing that his wristband wasn't beeping as loudly as the others', Lan Muxing had even stood up angrily and started doing little jumps in place, hoping to raise his heart rate further that way.

Judging by the results.

He had succeeded.

That noisy beeping was louder, more clamorous, and even more annoying than before.

[Guys, I can't take it anymore. What is Lan Muxing doing? Has he finally caught it and started losing his mind, too? But I think Lan Muxing is so cute when he's losing it. Am I sick, too?!]

[Stop jumping! If you keep jumping and win, Qi Yu won't stand for it!]

[Qi Yu, get up and run two kilometers on the spot to raise your heart rate. You absolutely cannot lose this event!]

[Would two kilometers be enough to raise his heart rate? Wouldn't Qi Yu have to work out hard all night?]

[Really, all night?]

[What kind of workout are we talking about?]

[People with dirty minds see everything as dirty. That's directed at myself.]

[Could Bai Luochuan handle a whole night? If he can't, I can help share the burden! Slurp, slurp-Qi Yu, I'm available, too!]

[The internet isn't a lawless wasteland. Person above, do you have no one left you care about?]

[Bai Luochuan! Be considerate! Hurry up and save your husband! Give him a kiss and let Foxy win this round fair and square!]
