7 – The Temptation to Go Home Dating Show Version
Bo Zhi was utterly mortified.
She was currently sitting in the car on her way to record the romance reality show, but her mind was still haunted by the scene from last night.
Just thinking about it made her wish she could leave this beautiful planet on the spot.
What did they mean by—
Her, forcing him… to fulfill marital duties?
Did she, Bo Zhizhi, look that desperate for his body???
Although that old fox was indeed somewhat attractive—his face was nice, his figure was good, and even his panting sounded quite pleasant…?!!
Oh no, it seemed like her thoughts were heading in a strange direction.
Bo Zhi couldn’t take it anymore and covered her head with her hands. “Damn it!”
Witnessing her series of strange actions, Gong Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Regretting it?”
She had checked Weibo last night and saw that netizens were practically roasting Bo Zhi’s ancestors to ashes.
Surprisingly, this little firebrand hadn’t fired back a single retort. Perhaps she was genuinely scared.
Bo Zhi said with utter despair, “I regret it.”
If she had known earlier…
She should have tried a different position to steal the phone.
But even though the process wasn’t ideal, the outcome was still satisfying.
To prevent Fu Jingyan from seeing the Weibo trending topics, she had not only stealthily uninstalled his Weibo app but also deleted the App Store altogether.
Truly diabolical.
Gong Yan said, “Regretting it is useless now. You’re already in too deep to back out.”
Still, she kindly offered Bo Zhi some advice.
“Your best bet now is to ignore those two and find a male guest to have a sweet, romantic relationship with, showering the audience with sugar. That way, the rumors will naturally die down.”
Upon hearing this, a question mark slowly appeared above Bo Zhi’s head.
“Sweet, romantic, showering with sugar?”
Clearly, these three words fell outside the knowledge base of the beautiful Bo Zhi.
Gong Yan nodded. She looked at Bo Zhi’s exquisitely stunning face, her peach-blossom eyes shimmering with emotion, uniquely captivating.
If Bo Zhi were to act sweet and coquettish, not only would boys be unable to resist, but even girls would find it hard to handle.
But Bo Zhi let out an exceptionally cold laugh. “Thanks, but all I know is violence, smashing, and cracking skulls.”
Gong Yan: “…”
Just end it all. I’m done.
As the car was about to arrive at the recording location, Gong Yan couldn’t take it anymore and grabbed Bo Zhi’s arm.
“Listen here, you little firebrand, behave yourself!”
“I don’t want to send you to a romance reality show only to have to bail you out from the police station later.”
The embarrassment would be too much to bear.
Bo Zhi waved her hand dismissively. “Relax, relax~”
She blinked. “I’m so well-behaved, of course I won’t cause any trouble for you.”
Gong Yan scoffed coldly. She’d be a fool to believe that.
But since this was a show, she didn’t actually think Bo Zhi would resort to violence. With her delicate arms and slender legs, she was likely all talk and no action.
However, as soon as they arrived at the recording location, she saw this seemingly fragile beauty hoist a large suitcase onto her shoulder and stride confidently toward the Sparkling Cottage.
Gong Yan: “?”
…
The Sparkling Cottage for Spring Encounter was located by the seaside in Yicheng.
The pink-hued sky reflected on the azure sea, creating a scene that seemed painted by an artist.
Netizens had long been waiting in the live stream.
The Assistant Director asked, “Director, how should we arrange the order for the guests’ appearances?”
The Director had experience filming romance reality shows, so he was very familiar with the usual tropes—nothing more than romance and showering the audience with sugar.
He asked, “Aren’t the couple fans of Zhu Luoling and Chen You the most popular?”
A reunited couple was a first in the history of variety shows and the selling point he valued the most.
But the Assistant Director replied, “No.”
“The one with the highest popularity is Bo Zhi, and the barrage of negative comments about her has already flooded the screen.”
Though numerous, none of them were positive, of course.
【Here we go, let me see how Bo the homewrecker shamelessly fawns over Brother Chen You on set.】
【This is the romance reality show I’m most interested in. Everyone, shout with me: love triangle, battlefield of love, hair-pulling, fight!】
【LOL, the show’s introduction says ‘Featuring sweet interactions filled with pink bubbles that will make your heart explode.’ Thanks, but all I see is a storm of drama.】
【A romance reality show somehow gives me the vibe of ‘The Temptation of Going Home’ [dog head].】
After watching the barrage, the Director pondered and decided, “Let Chen You and Bo Zhi go first.”
The Assistant Director: “Playing it this big?”
The Director smiled meaningfully, “Since they like pursuing excitement, let’s take it all the way.”
Assistant Director: “.”
You’re so extra.
Chen You arrived at Sparkling Cottage first, frowning slightly as he looked at the path leading to the villa.
Before him was a path paved with colorful cobblestones, with romantic star-shaped lights entwined around the trees on both sides.
The cobblestone ground was uneven, so he simply lifted his suitcase with one hand, showcasing his impressively muscular “boyfriend strength.”
As he walked, he remarked, “Although this path is beautiful, it’s not very friendly to women.”
Female celebrities almost always wear high heels, which makes walking on cobblestones inconvenient.
This was also deliberately arranged by the Director to increase interaction between male and female guests during their first meeting.
“After I put my suitcase inside, I’ll come out to help Zhu…”
Chen You’s voice trailed off, and he coughed awkwardly.
He corrected himself, “Help the female guests with their luggage.”
The barrage instantly erupted with excitement.
【Ahhh! He was about to say ‘help Zhu Zhu,’ right? Brother Chen You still likes Zhu Zhu after all. My Heart-to-Heart couple hasn’t broken up!】
【Brother Chen You is truly the ultimate good man—strong, affectionate, and loyal.】
【Agreed. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have publicly announced his relationship with Zhu Zhu without hesitation when he was at the peak of his popularity.】
【Wuwuwu, I’m about to cry. I can fail my college entrance exams, but the Heart-to-Heart couple must get back together!】
Soon after, the first female guest arrived.
The sound of suitcase wheels grew closer, and slender, fair ankles in silver high heels appeared in the live-stream camera.
Her ankles were as delicate as ice and jade, exquisite and refined, each step seeming to tread on the viewers’ hearts.
The barrage was instantly captivated.
【It must be Zhu Zhu!】
The director immediately switched the screen to Chen You, who had heard the commotion. He was walking gracefully out of the villa with a smile on his face.
A mutual approach from the start—it was simply the sweetest moment for the couple fans.
Until the next second, when the subtitle displayed: New Actress—Bo Zhi.
The couple fans’ smiles froze instantly. What they thought was sugar turned out to be something far less pleasant.
The director briefly played a clip of Bo Zhi’s representative work. As her debut was relatively recent, her most famous role was in the drama she starred in with Chen You.
The barrage was already on the verge of exploding from the double dose of disgust.
【Bo Zhi is truly my most disliked artist of the year, no contest.】
【Such a schemer, coming out first. Is she happy that Brother Chen You will help her with her luggage later?】
The live-stream camera switched back to Bo Zhi’s ankles, and sharp-eyed netizens noticed that her suitcase was missing.
【Where’s her suitcase? Why is it gone?】
【Did she toss it aside for the staff to handle so she could walk the cobblestone path and have Brother Chen You support her? What a schemer, Bo the homewrecker.】
【Judging from Brother Chen You’s shocked gaze, he must be just as speechless seeing Bo Zhi, vomit yue.】
Amidst a barrage of scolding comments on the bullet screen, the live broadcast camera slowly panned upward, giving a full view of Bo Zhi.
The beauty stood at the entrance in a navy blue halter dress, with dark hair, red lips, a delicate frame, and a soft waist—her striking, exquisite face was both radiant and refined.
But now, no one had time to admire her looks, because everyone noticed the missing suitcase…
Was steadily hoisted on Bo Zhi’s shoulder.
The entire live stream: “??”
