23 – I Have a Secret Crush on You
When the production team and guests returned, they witnessed a rather explosive and brutal scene.
Bo Zhi was kneeling on the bench with one leg, like a rogue female school bully, roughly pinning their cherished Yan Shen down on the bench.
With one hand gripping his collar and the other holding a milk tea, she was forcing him to drink.
“Drink! Drink it for me!!”
Everyone: “…”
This wasn’t milk tea—it was clearly a weapon.
Had Bo Zhi gone mad??
Even Pan Jinlian feeding Wu Dalang wasn’t this brutal!
But what was even more absurd was that Yan Shen wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he wore an indulgent expression.
The man’s silver-blue bangs were slightly tousled, his exquisite and bewitching eyes filled with a smile. His hanging hand even remembered to support Bo Zhi’s waist, afraid she might fall.
“…”
Fu Jingyan glanced at the production team out of the corner of his eye, effortlessly taking hold of Bo Zhi’s hand.
He chuckled softly as a reminder, “Alright, enough fooling around. Everyone’s watching.”
Bo Zhi: “!!”
She had been so consumed by anger that she forgot they were still in public.
Bo Zhi quickly retreated from the bench and tossed Fu Jingyan’s milk tea back to him.
“Hello, school bully Zhi?”
The Director tried to greet her.
Standing to the side, Bo Zhi replied irritably, “What?”
Her anger hadn’t fully subsided. Her peach blossom eyes were fierce, and her school uniform jacket was tied haphazardly around her waist, giving her an arrogant and domineering appearance—truly resembling a female school bully.
The Director asked kindly, “What were you doing to our Yan Shen?”
This was the person their production team cherished the most, and Bo Zhi was already bullying him?
“Feeding him milk tea,” Bo Zhi declared shamelessly. “His hand was uncomfortable. I was just being kind.”
What a “kind” gesture.
Even a dog wouldn’t believe that.
“Mhm.” Fu Jingyan straightened up leisurely, adjusting his shirt, which she had rumpled.
But Fu Jingyan believed it.
【How infuriating! Yan Shen is such a lovesick fool.】
【Bo Zhi actually dared to bully our brother so openly. How outrageous! Why can’t she just let me do it instead?】
【Bo Zhi is truly brutal. If these two ever get together in the future, Yan Shen will probably be bullied so badly he won’t be able to get out of bed!】
【?】
【???】
【…Sorry, I might be a fake Yan Shen fan, but I kind of want to see how that would play out?】
【Wah, poor Yan Shen. I’m crying (I’m pretending).】
And just like that, Bo Zhi’s reputation was ruined.
The next segment belonged to Zhu Zhou and Ji Fanxing.
The gentle and refined man chuckled teasingly, “At my age, the school days feel like a distant memory.”
Fans immediately chimed in, “Actor Zhu isn’t old at all!!”
Even though he was nearly thirty, his gentle and jade-like appearance made him look perfectly natural in a school uniform, resembling a wise and scholarly student council president.
Zhu Zhou retrieved his card.
He read aloud, “My regret is that, in the school library, I once took down a book and happened to catch a glimpse of a girl’s profile on the other side.”
The audience immediately erupted in “wows.”
Zhu Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Perhaps the sunlight was just right that day, and the dust from the books and the light fell upon her together.”
“Even though I’ve long forgotten who she was, I still occasionally recall that scene. It was beautiful.”
Even his casual description was filled with vivid imagery, making the audience’s hearts flutter.
This was so romantic!
The production team immediately arranged a recreation of the library scene—
“Actor Zhu, please choose a female guest who makes your heart flutter to complete this with.”
Zhu Zhou pondered for a moment before meeting Fu Jingyan’s indifferent gaze.
Not arrogant, but carrying a certain warning.
“I choose—” Zhu Zhou smiled as he looked at Bo Zhi. As expected, Fu Jingyan narrowed his sharp phoenix eyes dangerously.
“Little Star.”
Zhu Zhou’s gaze finally settled on Ji Fanxing, his smile gentle and elegant as he sought the young girl’s opinion. “Is that okay?”
Ji Fanxing was taken aback for a moment, her round eyes looking at him suspiciously.
“You don’t think I have no one to choose from, so you’re deliberately taking care of me, do you?”
The young girl wasn’t old, but she had quite a temper. “I don’t need your pity.”
Zhu Zhou tapped her on the head. “If a certain young lady thinks I’m too old and doesn’t want to shoot with me, just say so.”
Ji Fanxing covered her head. “I told you not to hit me, it’ll stunt my growth!!”
The two bickered all the way to the bookshelf for the shoot.
Sunlight gently and quietly spilled over the bookshelf, like a beautiful scene from an old painting.
The gentle and refined man reached out, taking a book from the shelf in front of him, his gaze lingering in the gap between two books.
A greeting he couldn’t muster the courage for in his youth was now being made up for.
He said in a warm voice—
“Sorry, Little Star, you’re too short. From this angle, I can’t see you.”
“……”
“Honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk~”
Bo Zhi couldn’t hold back her laughter and collapsed onto the desk.
【Whose goose escaped?】
【I can’t with this laughter. It’s like Bo Zhi has no one in this world she cares about anymore.】
【Don’t laugh at Bo Zhi, this reenactment made me laugh so hard my snot bubbles came out. Honestly, maybe we should just give up on this romance reality show, hahaha.】
【Seriously, this is the funniest romance reality show I’ve ever seen, no contest.】
【I’d call this another iconic moment, right after “The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style.”】
“Bo Zhizhi.”
Fu Jingyan helplessly interrupted her. “Your goose-like laughter is hurting my eyes.”
Bo Zhi laughed until the corners of her eyes were moist. “As long as it’s not hurting your ears.”
A moment later, as if remembering something, she turned to Fu Jingyan curiously. “What did your card say?”
Fu Jingyan lowered his gaze slightly, casually raising his hand to gently wipe the moisture from the corner of her eye with his thumb.
He replied lightly, “I’m not telling you.”
Bo Zhi looked bored and swatted his hand away.
Turning back to watch Ji Fanxing stomping angrily on a chair to shoot, she burst into uncontrollable laughter again.
By the time the shoot ended, the young girl was puffed up like a pufferfish.
She glared fiercely at Zhu Zhou. “Don’t talk to me until my lawyer arrives!”
Zhu Zhou quickly apologized with a smile. “I’m sorry.”
Ji Fanxing, stubborn as ever, ignored him and stomped over angrily, resting her chin on Bo Zhi’s shoulder.
Bo Zhi chimed in, “Look at him, what kind of person is he?”
“Don’t think I didn’t hear you,” Ji Fanxing said sternly, looking at Bo Zhi’s delicate profile.
“Your laughter made every goose within a hundred miles want to come and claim you as family.”
Bo Zhi: “…”
【Hahaha, “every goose within a hundred miles wants to claim you as family” is absolutely hilarious. The whole cast is confirmed to be comedians.】
【Sister Fanxing: Keep laughing, and I’ll jump up and hit your knees!】
【But it’s so sweet! Even while angry, she still leans on Bo Zhi. Ahhh, the BoJi ship is definitely real!!】
The director’s team had the last two cards left, belonging to Ji Fanxing and Fu Jingyan.
He exclaimed, “What a coincidence, these two are duplicates again.”
Everyone was stunned.
These two were duplicates?
If Chen You and Zhu Luoling were duplicates, that made sense—they were exes. But these two had nothing to do with each other, right?
Bo Zhi raised her eyes in confusion, looking at Fu Jingyan.
Then she leaned in and whispered, “Hey, you’re not secretly in love with Little Sweetie, are you?”
Fu Jingyan paused, truly unsure how her train of thought had arrived there.
He lowered his gaze indifferently, glancing at the small head nearly pressed against his chest.
His tone was casual, almost teasing, as he said, “I’m secretly in love with you.”
