The first episode of “Understand Love Night Talk” ended in an awkward and uncomfortable manner.
Lu Heng’s entire team had spent a whole day brainstorming a suave, sweet, and domineering CEO trope, only to have the atmosphere completely ruined by Jiang Qiyu’s few words.
Furious, he immediately announced that he was tired from the day’s journey and wanted to return to his room to rest.
With the film emperor saying this, the others naturally didn’t insist, and everyone quickly dispersed, heading back to their rooms.
At night, the main livestream was split back into seven individual livestream rooms.
The other guests naturally remembered why they were here and promptly took out their phones to log into the “Understand Love APP” to set up their profiles and build their personas.
Some even began sending private messages to each other.
The app’s chatbox was displayed in real-time in a small window in the livestream, allowing fans to pick up on subtle hints and sweet moments from the polite and tentative exchanges.
While everyone downstairs was actively engaging, sending goodnight greetings and ambiguous private messages, the livestream on the top floor was unusually quiet and peaceful.
After returning to her room and finishing her nightly routine, Jiang Qiyu contentedly lay down on the rocking chair in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window.
Casually picking up the phone provided by the production team, she tried to recall the usage rules and functions…
But nothing came to mind.
Then, with a clear conscience, she—
Opened a game.
Viewers in Jiang Qiyu’s livestream could only watch as she used an 8x scope to take down one opponent after another, hid in the grass to survive wave after wave of the poison circle, and looted one backpack after another while following others…
But they never saw her open the app.
[What’s Teacher Changmao doing?]
[Playing PUBG?]
[What is she even here for?]
[Waiting for the production team to assign her a partner?]
At exactly 23:00, just as Jiang Qiyu was trying to survive the final poison circle, her game interface suddenly froze, and an uncontrollable pink heart-shaped pop-up window appeared.
[Welcome to “You Understand Love”]
[Please, guest Jiang Qiyu, select the guest you wish to give a heart score to]
“……”
Looking at her character dying from poison behind the pop-up window, Jiang Qiyu took a deep breath and calmly clicked on each guest’s avatar to assign scores:
Lu Heng—0
Jiang Mian—0
Zhou Shun—0
Song Yan—0
Fang Xubai—0
Jiang Ling—0
If she could choose herself, she wouldn’t hesitate to write a big 0 under her own avatar as well.
[Even a mental patient would be instantly cured upon seeing this, exclaiming that Teacher Changmao is the real crazy one!]
[Teacher Changmao, you truly know how to balance things.]
[Just finished overtime work, and my mental state is about the same as Jiang Qiyu’s—I’ll kill you all!!]
After doing all this, Jiang Qiyu naturally anticipated what the comments would look like.
She looked up, found a camera, and grinned at the lens:
“Don’t ask. If you must know, I’m just creating a few bumps in their otherwise smooth and lovable life paths.”
Let these handsome men and beautiful women also learn that life isn’t always smooth sailing.
That night, as expected.
Her explosive “idiots are real” remarks, which were shocking even by the standards of the entire domestic entertainment industry, and her perfectly balanced act of giving everyone a score of 0 once again topped the trending searches.
At the same time, hashtags like #LuHengIsBeautiful, #JiangMianIsSincere, and #FangXubaiNonsenseLiterature also climbed the trending charts.
On its first day of livestreaming, “You Understand Love” had completely exploded!
As the identity of the mysterious guest on the show was revealed, online discussions about Jiang Qiyu grew increasingly heated.
Some called her vulgar and uncouth, others criticized her for being an attention-seeker, and of course, there were those who, learning about her for the first time, felt she did as she pleased, following her own whims.
That night, in the top-floor office of the Qi Group’s A City branch building.
“…but if you encounter an idiot, don’t doubt it—they really are an idiot.”
At that moment, the secretary was holding a tablet, reading the trending topics word by word to the boss seated before him.
The man lounging lazily with his eyes closed in the executive chair was none other than the unexpectedly viral “Slap Uncle” from the internet!
His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow beneath his eyes, and under Secretary Zhao’s gaze, he slowly lifted his eyelids:
“What are your thoughts?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhao placed the tablet on the desk in front of the man, furrowed his brow slightly as if deep in thought, and analyzed earnestly:
“CEO Qi, here’s the thing. Although this statement sounds quite reasonable at first, it doesn’t hold up under real-world scrutiny.”
“…”
“For example, take this last sentence. I feel like I’ve never encountered an idiot in my life. This statement is too absolute.”
“…”
Qi Yu merely gave him a cool glance and spoke calmly:
“It’s normal to encounter idiots in one’s life.”
Secretary Zhao’s frown deepened. “But I really…”
Before he could finish his argument, he saw the man leaning back in the swivel chair suddenly sit up straight, speaking with seriousness and gravity:
“If you feel your life has been smooth sailing all along, there’s a good chance you yourself are that idiot.”
“…”
Just as Secretary Zhao was still processing the change in his social identity, Qi Yu slowly extended his well-defined hand and tapped the darkened screen to light it up.
Watching the woman in the hotpot scene devouring food with gusto in the trending topics, a subtle emotion flickered in his eyes:
“Secretary Zhao.”
“Yes.”
“Call back that director, whether his surname is Zhao or Li, and tell him I agree.”
“…”
Silence filled the office.
Qi Yu’s sharp brows slightly furrowed as he turned to look at Secretary Zhao, who remained motionless and visibly troubled.
“Well, boss…”
Secretary Zhao wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and replied with a strained smile:
“That dating show director’s surname is Zhang.”
“So?”
“Also, you… cursed at him quite harshly this afternoon.”
“…”
A careless oversight.
With the start of the first live broadcast of You Know How to Date, this phenomenon-level dating show began dominating the trending charts.
On the second day of the broadcast, the official Weibo account released another piece of news that shocked the entire internet.
The show would welcome a second surprise guest.
Unlike Jiang Qiyu’s mysterious guest format, this new male participant’s identity was not kept under wraps.
Instead, with an air of grandeur, the official account directly announced his identity:
The general manager of the Qi Group’s A City branch, the son of the chairman of the Qi Group—S City’s leading enterprise—and the sole heir of the Qi family:
Qi Yu.
And he was none other than the “Slap Uncle” who had unintentionally appeared in an airport video and quickly went viral online for his looks.
A super-rich second-generation heir, combined with his handsome appearance and unique parenting insights, stacked all the top-tier buffs to the max.
As a result, the moment the Weibo post was published, it sparked a frenzy of discussion among countless netizens.
[“What ‘Uncle Slap’? CEO Qi is only 25! Call him ‘Brother Slap’!!”]
[“This official announcement photo is so strange—it’s not the domineering CEO style, nor the cool and handsome style. Turns out it’s the kind that makes me go crazy when I see it.”]
[“I must date someone like this in this lifetime I must date someone like this in this lifetime I must date someone like this in this lifetime I must date someone like this in this lifetime”]
[“I hope you won’t go too far. Your repeated vulgar remarks about my husband have already constituted sexual harassment. As his wife, I can no longer tolerate this. Please stop this bottomless behavior immediately, and also consider my feelings!”]
