Du Weihan had already made a huge fool of himself in front of the livestream. Now, seeing Su Zhi standing to the side and kicking him while he was down, the spark of anger in his chest flared up instantly.
He struggled to his feet, fury bursting from his eyes as if he wanted to tear Su Zhi apart alive.
“What did you say? Say it again if you’ve got the guts!”
Su Zhi looked at Du Weihan in surprise, her tone filled with confusion, “Did that fall smash your brain or something? You actually can’t remember what I just said?”
Seeing things about to escalate, An Chenru immediately stepped in like a peacemaker. “Alright, alright. It’s only our first day meeting each other. Let’s just let it go. Du Weihan, you’re a grown man. Why make such a big deal out of it? Don’t forget we’re still live.”
Bai Ye also stepped forward and pressed a hand on Du Weihan’s shoulder, stopping him from acting on impulse.
Remembering that the cameras were still rolling, Du Weihan snorted coldly. With a dark expression, he turned and boarded the production team’s car without looking back.
However, from the slightly awkward way Du Weihan moved when getting into the car, Su Zhi could tell he had taken quite a hard fall.
Du Weihan’s fans watching the livestream were practically exploding with anger. Especially after seeing Su Zhi’s indifferent expression, the fury in their hearts burned even hotter.
【I’ve never seen a woman as vicious as Su Zhi. Our Weihan fell down. It’s fine if you didn’t help him up, but you actually mocked him?!】
【She’s petty and holds grudges! Just because Du Weihan said he didn’t want to team up with her, she’s rubbing salt into his wounds!】
【That’s why they say flies don’t land on seamless eggs[1]people with no flaws or secrets won’t be targeted by rumors or accusations jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1539614_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1539614_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });. Du Weihan and Movie King Qin wouldn’t target someone for no reason. Su Zhi’s character is just bad!】
【Uh…… am I the only one who thinks Su Zhi didn’t do anything wrong? Sure, she’s a bit narrow-minded, but wasn’t Du Weihan the one who provoked her first……?】
【Dang, Su Zhi even hired paid commenters? No wonder she dared to mock our Weihan on a livestream. So she had been waiting for this? Brothers, charge!】
As soon as that comment appeared, fans launched into a war with the passerby, and the battlefield instantly turned fierce.
……
On the other side, after sitting in silence for the entire ride, the guests finally arrived at their destination.
The moment the vehicle stopped, quite a few people secretly let out a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere inside the vehicle had been suffocating.
Su Zhi was the first to get out. Her expression was natural, completely unaffected by the oppressive mood.
She lifted her head and surveyed the amusement park. Among all the attractions, the most eye-catching was the towering Ferris wheel.
After getting out of the vehicle, the director glanced at his watch and said, “All guests, please put on the badges distributed by the staff. Those are miniature livestream cameras prepared by the production team. Please enjoy your amusement park date. Remember, you only have three hours. Be sure to return here after three hours to regroup.”
With that, the director got back into the vehicle, leaving the guests standing there, eyeing one another.
Without saying a word, Su Zhi took the lead and walked into the amusement park.
Seeing this, An Chenru immediately jogged after her and lowered his voice, “Ms. Su, where are you going? Aren’t we staying with everyone else?”
Su Zhi raised her brows slightly, a smile curving her lips. “Mr. An, the production team only gave us three hours. Shouldn’t we cherish this rare time alone?”
An Chenru had been about to speak, but the moment he saw Su Zhi’s side profile glowing dazzlingly under the sunlight, every word slipped from his mind.
He stood there blankly for a moment before remembering to chase after her.
Viewers watching from An Chenru’s perspective were also stunned by Su Zhi’s side profile and couldn’t help sighing.
【Sooo stunning! I really dislike Su Zhi, but honestly, her looks have zero flaws!】
Du Weihan, who remained behind, watched Su Zhi and An Chenru walk farther and farther away. Mindful of the livestream, he kept a cold face and said nothing.
Shen Aofu, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. She rolled her eyes in Su Zhi’s direction. “Finally gone. I was getting so annoyed. Zhiyan, tell me, both you and Su Zhi share the same surname, so why are your characters worlds apart?”
Hearing that, Su Zhiyan’s delicate, sweet little face filled with disapproval. “Xiao Fu, we shouldn’t casually talk about others like that. Ms. Su…… She probably didn’t mean it.”
That only made Shen Aofu more fired up. She pointed at Du Weihan beside her. “Zhiyan, her mocking of Du Weihan earlier was deliberate, wasn’t it? You’re just too kind, still speaking up for Su Zhi even now.”
Du Weihan had wanted to pretend the earlier embarrassment never happened, but being reminded of it again by Shen Aofu made his face instantly darken like the bottom of a pot.
“Enough, stop talking! They’re already far away. Let’s go too.”
His voice carried suppressed anger and unmistakable coldness.
And to Shen Aofu, that tone was unbearable.
“Du Weihan, the one who mocked you was Su Zhi, not me. Why are you taking it out on me?!”
Du Weihan hadn’t expected Shen Aofu to keep bringing up his humiliation. The anger he had been holding back finally exploded.
He didn’t say a word. After shooting Shen Aofu a vicious glare, he turned and strode into the amusement park alone, his expression dark.
This time, no matter how much Bai Ye tried to persuade him, Du Weihan had no intention of turning back.
“What’s his problem?!” Shen Aofu had never been treated coldly like this before. She flared up on the spot and had no intention of chasing after Du Weihan.
Viewers watching the livestream fell silent when they saw that less than three minutes after arriving at the amusement park, Shen Aofu and Du Weihan— the so-called limited-time couple— had already gone their separate ways.
【Um…… I know both of them have bad tempers, but isn’t this breakup a bit too fast? I haven’t even started shipping them yet……】
【Wait, when did Jiang Guxue and Cheng Feiran leave? I didn’t even notice.】
【Hahaha, same here. I was too focused on the argument. But honestly, Su Zhi really is a troublemaker. Look, after she stirred things up, the pairings turned into Du Weihan with Bai Ye, and Su Zhiyan with Shen Aofu. How are we supposed to ship this?!】
【Uh…… even though I don’t like Su Zhi either, isn’t blaming her about this a bit unfair? Their fight was mostly Shen Aofu’s fault. If I embarrassed myself and someone kept bringing it up, I’d be angry too.】
【Heh, so now paid commenters are pretending to be passersby? Su Zhi is a jinx! A walking disaster!】
【Are you fans just slapping labels on people now? If that’s the case, then today I’m standing on Su Zhi’s side!】
【Hahaha, finally admitting it? Brothers, get him!】
……
While another war raged in the comment section, Su Zhi was standing in front of a shooting game booth in the amusement park, deep in thought.
Seeing her gaze fixed on the plush toy prizes, An Chenru assumed she was interested and smiled. “Ms. Su, which one do you like? I’ll help you win it.”
Hearing that, Su Zhi lifted her eyes to look at him. There seemed to be stars sparkling in her gaze. “Thank you. I want that one!”
An Chenru wore a confident smile as he looked toward the prize exchange board.
But when he saw that the mysterious grand prize Su Zhi pointed at required hitting forty balloons with forty air pellets, the smile froze on his face.
Seeing his stiff expression, Su Zhi’s long lashes lowered instantly, her voice tinged with disappointment, “Is it not possible? Then forget it. I shouldn’t make things difficult for you, Brother Chen.”
How could An Chenru bear to see a beauty disappointed? Hearing that, he gritted his teeth. “Don’t worry, Ms. Su. This isn’t that hard!”
With that, he took the air rifle from the amusement park staff.
Su Zhi’s smile bloomed once more. She looked at An Chenru as if he were a hero, her words filled with trust and encouragement, “Brother Chen, I believe in you!”
Watching An Chenru get completely bewitched by Su Zhi in just a few words, practically jumping onto the grill and roasting himself back and forth, 007 was unsure whether to look at him with sympathy or like an idiot.
The moment An Chenru raised the gun to prepare for shooting, Su Zhi wiped the smile from her face. At that instant, she looked exceptionally cold, completely different from before.
Why was An Chenru so enthusiastic when all the other male guests were avoiding her?
Was it because he’s a natural gentleman?
Of course not.
It was because An Chenru himself was the very person Su Chengyu had bribed— the one who had come onto the show specifically to deceive and toy with the original owner’s feelings.
