Li Lu did not respond and instinctively leaned back a little.
He was just here to fill a slot, so why was the topic still on him?
After the main camera panned over the female guests, it moved to Lin Lin.
“Yes, that was a very, very long time ago.”
Lin Lin was not embarrassed. She had mentioned it in an exclusive interview several years ago.
Back then, she had just won Best Female Singer, and her popularity was at its peak.
When the host asked about her love life, she had never been one to be fake.
She said very directly that after entering the industry, she had only had one relationship, and it ended without a result.
The person was Li Lu.
At that time, his popularity was still decent, so the agent did not object to her bringing up that old story.
She just laughed off the insults from his fans, who said she was riding on his fame.
Later on, he completely collapsed, and no one mentioned it anymore.
“How did you two break up? Now that you’ve met here today, is there a chance?”
Yang Shu took on a cameo role as host, setting up one of the show’s pairings.
The bullet comments below also exploded in number, all from Lin Lin’s fans.
They could not stand it. They were afraid their sister at home would get used for clout.
『Yang Shu, a lifelong hater, stop stirring things up.』
『Damn, sister, don’t answer him, don’t answer him.』
『Do you two even look right together? Stop randomly pairing people up.』
『They look perfect together. I’m shipping them. Xiao Nuan is finally safe.』
『Haha, the first unlucky one has appeared.』
……
“We just broke up normally and amicably. We were both too busy with work back then.”
Lin Lin shrugged casually, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.
“Do you still keep in touch now?”
“We send each other greetings sometimes.”
Lin Lin glanced at the man slumped in the corner of the sofa. Scumbag.
Aside from receiving his mass greeting texts every year, there was nothing at all. It was incredibly perfunctory.
“Haha, you’re still friends after breaking up.
Very decent of you. I’ve never seen either of you complain about the other.”
Yang Shu gave a chuckle, seeing that neither of them wanted to talk about it much.
So he summed it up casually and moved on to the next topic.
On the live-stream interface, Lin Lin’s fans’ bullet comments began to take over.
『Be decent. Stop leeching off people.』
『Be decent. Go ruin someone else instead.』
『Our Lin Lin has always been very decent. She has never smeared you.』
『Brother, please be a decent person.』
……
“Beep, beep, beep…”
A small bear ornament on the table buzzed, and the camera focused on it.
“Welcome, everyone, to this season’s Heartbeat Cabin. I am Heartbeat Bear.
This season’s show will not have a star observation panel.
We hope that during the more than twenty days together, the guests can enjoy life and find the one suited to them.
Since this is our first time gathering here today, let’s go outside and have a party to celebrate.”
Heartbeat Bear takes the place of the director.
It will issue some tasks to give the guests more opportunities to interact.
Only through repeated time spent together can they better find the person who makes their heart beat.
Now that all the guests have arrived, the bear comes out to guide the show’s normal flow.
“Wow! So much food.”
Xiao Nuan exclaimed after going outside.
It turned out that while everyone was chatting, the villa’s yard had already been set up by the staff as a party.
There were all kinds of food, champagne, balloons, a pool, and even a large stage.
A few girls gathered together, chatting and laughing.
Zhang Wenbo stood on the stage, fiddling with equipment along with a few staff members.
“Brother Yang. I haven’t heard you sing in a long time. How about showing us what you’ve got?”
“Haha, I’m old. You youngsters go ahead.”
Yang Shu quickly waved his hand. In fact, he already knew this process was coming when he arrived.
Everyone comes to a variety show because they want an extra stage to showcase themselves. The celebrity version of Heartbeat has no artist observers and will not force anyone into a CP pairing.
It’s more like a slow-paced variety show, with ten people living together.
If they get along, they’ll be together.
If they do not like anyone, then they can just treat it as a relaxing trip.
“Sister Liu Mian, you go, you go.”
……
Zhang Wenbo called out to everyone, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Then he picked up the microphone.
“Then I’ll start things off. Xiao Xiao, don’t hide. The next performance is yours.
This is a new song I just finished writing. It hasn’t been released yet.
Help me take a look and see what can be improved.”
“Wow, a new song.”
“Nice, kid, you came prepared.”
……
After Zhang Wenbo finished speaking, the few people below the dance floor also reacted with surprise, and the venue was filled with laughter and joy.
In the live-stream feed, the main view swept over the people below one by one before finally settling on the stage.
The subtitle crew displayed the song title and the creator.
This was all part of the prearranged process.
Below the dance floor, Lin Xuan and Li Shihan stood to one side, speaking in low voices.
The others gathered together, raised their glasses, and cheered loudly.
The camera panned around and finally found the one person left.
Li Lu sat at the dining table, chewing what looked like lobster.
He was also clapping vigorously, though the fork in one hand looked a little out of place.
