" Teacher Shang, actually I'm a fan of yours, but I was too shy to talk to you earlier. Can I take a picture with you after the recording is over?"
After walking through a long but somewhat narrow corridor, the line in front suddenly stopped. Shang Shujue and Li Heng were just standing there, which seemed a bit strange. Moreover, Li Heng's face turned even redder, forcing him to look over.
But as soon as he looked over, the other person spoke first. He spoke in a low voice, but his tone contained anticipation and excitement, as if he was trying his best to suppress it.
"Pfft... Oh~ So you're one of my fans. Why are you blushing all this way? Sure, I'll take a picture with you after the show's recording."
Shang Shujue now understood why Li Heng, despite being very polite, had avoided him when greeting him during their first meeting, as if he were afraid of him. He found it extremely amusing.
"Really? Thank you, thank you, Teacher Shang!"
Upon hearing Shang Shujue's words, Li Heng's eyes widened instantly, sparkling like a golden retriever who had received a beloved toy—utterly adorable.
It's hard to imagine how someone with such a personality could detach themselves from their own nature and portray such a complex villainous character.
"You're welcome. Speaking of which, your portrayal of Ji Chen was quite good; you have a lot of potential. We could collaborate sometime."
When Shang Shujue said this, the people walking in front couldn't help but turn their heads to look back, but they were too embarrassed to be too obvious, so they all looked back with a slanted gaze.
"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Shang. I would be so happy if we could really work together in the future, hehehe... I'm already looking forward to it..."
Li Heng was genuinely looking forward to performing with his idol, even though he had never seen his idol's acting skills before. However, he was certain that his tolerance for his idol was already very high.
"Okay."
Shang Shujue smiled and didn't say anything more. No one could tell whether he had agreed or not. Li Heng didn't think much of it either. He was happy that his idol could cooperate with him, and it was only natural that he wouldn't.
Before everyone could figure out the reason, they arrived at the observation room. No one mentioned the incident. After entering, they took their seats according to the direction of the nameplates.
They had just sat down when someone brought them a process sheet with a mind map of the process. Shang Shujue glanced at it after receiving it. He had already watched the previous episodes. There were still six people in this dating reality show.
They are: Programmer -- Lin Shen
Dentist - Hua Shuo
Pet shop owner - Qi Meng
Bar owner - Shen Ye
Real Estate President - Ling Zhaosen
Lu Huaiye, an art student
The current setup is a love quadrangle: Lu Huaiye is madly in love with Qi Meng, Qi Meng is madly in love with Hua Shuo, Hua Shuo is madly in love with Shen Ye, and Shen Ye is madly in love with Lu Huaiye.
The only couple that fell in love in the same direction was Ling Zhaosen and Lin Shen. They were the kind of people who fell in love at first sight. Their personalities were hard to discern, but their interactions were very endearing.
Their CP (couple) supertopic has been created, and fans are obsessed with it, living a blissful life. Meanwhile, the love quadrangle is a complete mess.
The first four episodes were already so intense, but the production team didn't seem satisfied with such clashes, nor with the established dynamics between Ling Zhaosen and Lin Shen.
Therefore, for this episode, two new guests will be added to the variety show: lawyer Tang Jiuyang and famous bartender Gu Yiyue.
Both of them are outstanding individuals; one is handsome and domineering, the other is elegant and stunning. If they were put together, Shen Ye would have to be pulled out of the love quadrangle.
Gu Yiyue is a renowned bartender. His cocktails are exceptionally delicious and have their own unique creativity and style. He is a hot commodity in the bar industry, and every bar owner wants to hire him, but none of them can.
Shen Ye was one of them. Now that he knew Gu Yiyue's sexual orientation, putting everything else aside, just based on the other party's bartending skills alone, he had to bow down to him.
As for Tang Jiuyang, it goes without saying that many people both love and hate him. They love his outstanding abilities, which allow him to always take unconventional approaches and win cases, but they hate that he is also outstanding in his abilities and always helps his opponents win cases...
Looking at the information on the new guests that came with the program in her hand, Shang Shujue couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This variety show recording had turned into a chaotic mess; it was quite interesting.
He didn't waste his time on this show, but why is there a part of the program where he meets and has dinner with the guests? What does that have to do with him?
Oh, it wasn't just him. It turns out he and the regular Du Lin, were going to the Love House to record some extra content with the other guests, like chatting and playing games.
" Teacher Shang, let's go over together in a bit. You don't need to be too nervous. It's just chatting with them and doing some extra content. It won't be too difficult and won't take long."
Du Lin had probably finished reviewing the final procedures before walking over to Shang Shujue and bringing up the matter. Shang Shujue unconsciously stood up and shook hands with him.
"Okay, chatting is something I'm pretty good at."
"Haha, that's good, that's good."
After the two finished their conversation, the recording officially began. Shang Shujue sat in his seat and barely spoke unless he was called upon. The whole process went relatively smoothly.
They first recorded some opening remarks and sponsor advertisements in their observation room.
Meanwhile, the live stream will continue as normal, and they will be able to see it. After the live stream ends, the two segments will be spliced together, edited into one episode, and uploaded to the platform.
The initial recording was completed, and the live stream was started, so both live stream feeds were available. As a result, when Shang Shujue appeared, the buzz started to rise.
