[How is this different from what I expected? Shouldn’t Yu Wan be the one clinging to Xie Shiyuan? Why is it the other way around now?]
[From the moment she walked in until now, you can count on one hand the number of times Yu Wan has even looked Xie Shiyuan in the eye. Is this the rumored sycophant? The rumors must be wrong, right?]
[Wrong? What’s wrong about them? Have you not seen the previous trending searches? In those videos, Yu Wan was a clear and dedicated sycophant.]
[She’s gotten smart this time, using this method to attract Xie Shiyuan’s attention. I declare, she has succeeded.]
[Can you all stop your yapping? Her legitimate husband is sitting right next to her. Open your eyes, will you?]
[Can I just say this? Everyone says Yu Wan hates her husband, but I’m totally shipping them.]
[I get it. That moment when Xie Mingyan gave Yu Wan water, I shipped them to death. Who understands? She didn’t even take the bottle, just drank straight from it. How can you not ship that?]
[If this is what “hating” looks like, then I declare, please give me more of this “hatred.”]
[I don’t believe Yu Wan has truly turned over a new leaf just like that. Isn’t there still the room assignment segment later? I want to see where she chooses to stay.]
With everyone present, the program began recording the next segment.
“Next, we will decide the room assignments through a little game called the Intimacy Q&A,” the host said, holding a cue card.
“Feelings are born from the little things in life. We will use some small, everyday questions to see how much you understand each other, and to warm up the affection between you.”
“There are five questions in total. Each correct answer earns one point, for a total of ten points. The couple with the highest score will have priority in choosing their room.”
The host explained the rules of the game, then had the staff distribute whiteboards to everyone.
The four pairs of guests sat in order.
To prevent them from peeking at each other’s answers, the Program Team even went so far as to place a partition between each couple.
[Hahahahaha, they’re really afraid they’ll cheat.]
[Rest assured, our Yueyue and Xie Shiyuan have perfect chemistry. They don’t need to cheat at all.]
[It’s obvious at a glance who would cheat.]
The barrage of comments floated across the Live Stream Room as the host began asking the questions.
“First question: When did you first meet each other?”
“Second question: What is your partner’s birthday?”
“Third question: Does your partner prefer cats or dogs?”
[These questions are super easy. It’d be weirder if they couldn’t answer them.]
[No need to even hear the rest of the questions. Our Yueyue and Xie Shiyuan will definitely get a perfect score.]
The host looked at the cue card and coughed lightly. “Fourth question: When your partner walks, do they lead with their left foot or their right foot?”
“Fifth question: Does your partner prefer to sleep on their back or on their side?”
The people on set: ???
The netizens: ???
Which genius came up with these questions?
Listen to your own questions. Are they reasonable? Who in their right mind pays such close attention to these things?
Are you sure these are on the same level as the first two questions?
[What’s this called? Making the questions have depth? The first few are basic, so the last few have to be non-basic?]
[But seriously, only the last two questions are a bit abstract. The first few are very easy to answer.]
[I’m not so sure. They’re so simple, what if someone still gets them wrong?]
It was already very obvious who this was implicitly referring to.
[It definitely won’t be our Xiayue and Xie Shiyuan.]
“Alright, please write your own answers on the whiteboard first, and then answer the questions about your partner.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the guests began to write.
Yu Wan paused for two seconds after hearing the questions, then picked up her marker and started writing with a flourish.
She was extremely fast. She had already put her marker down while others were still pondering the last two questions.
[Looks like these questions are pretty simple for Yu Wan too. She answered so quickly.]
[Xie Mingyan is also answering quickly. This couple is something else.]
[Look how calm and composed they are. Don’t tell me they got them all right?]
“You’re done too?” Yu Wan was a little surprised to see that Xie Mingyan had also put down his marker.
How was he so fast too?
Xie Mingyan: “Yes, I’m done.”
Answering beside them, Xie Shiyuan heard their conversation. The marker in his hand paused, his attention completely drawn to them.
It wasn’t until the person next to him prompted, “Shi Yuan, are you not done yet?”
Only then did Xie Shiyuan notice that everyone else had finished. He snapped back to reality and quickly wrote down a few answers on his whiteboard.
“Alright, since everyone is finished, let’s take a look at the results.”
“First group, Shen Li and Mu Xubai: 7 correct answers, for 7 points.”
The netizens saw the answers on the whiteboards.
Mu Xubai had answered 5 correctly, while Shen Li had only gotten two right.
Shen Li threw up her hands. “These two were my limit.”
The host smiled. “It seems the small details in your relationship can still be cultivated further.”
[Hahahaha, Mu Xubai’s expression looks a little resentful.]
Seeing this, Yu Wan raised an eyebrow. She had been a little surprised since seeing Shen Li today.
How come she had never heard that Shen Li was in a relationship, and with someone in the entertainment industry at that? When did this happen?
“Second group: Tang Xiaoxiao and Xi Zishu,” the host’s voice was filled with surprise. “Congratulations, you got them all right!”
[! That’s amazing!]
[Incredible. I didn’t expect this pair to be the dark horse.]
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled shyly. “I was just guessing on the last two questions. I didn’t expect to get them right.”
[Even if it was a guess, for both of them to guess everything correctly, how is that not a form of chemistry?]
“Third group, Yu Xiayue and Xie Shiyuan, a total of… 5 correct answers.”
[???]
[What? How many did you say?]
[The first few questions were so simple. How could they have only gotten 5 right in total? You must have misread it.]
Yu Xiayue also had a look of disbelief. She turned to look at Xie Shiyuan. How could they have only gotten five correct?
The whiteboards were shown, and indeed, there were only five correct answers.
Yu Xiayue had answered three correctly, while Xie Shiyuan had only gotten the first two right.
Yu Xiayue had also guessed on the last two questions, but she had guessed them all wrong. Only her first three answers were correct.
As for Xie Shiyuan.
Yu Xiayue looked at Xie Shiyuan’s whiteboard, her lips pressed into a thin line.
He had only gotten the first two right.
“Huh, why does it look like the answer for the birthday question has been altered on Xie Shiyuan’s board?” the host asked, looking at the whiteboard.
“I was distracted for a moment and wrote it wrong.”
As Xie Shiyuan spoke, his gaze swept towards Yu Wan. Seeing that she wasn’t paying any attention to what was happening over here, a trace of disappointment flashed through his heart.
He then continued, “There’s no rule that says answers can’t be changed, right?”
“No, no,” the host said with a smile. “As long as the final answer is correct, it’s fine.”
[It’s true. He only came back to his senses when Yu Xiayue called his name, then he hurriedly finished writing.]
[I guess it’s understandable.]
Yu Xiayue looked at the answer on the whiteboard. She was very familiar with the number that had been crossed out.
August 16th. That was Yu Wan’s birthday.
Looking at the smudged-out number, Yu Xiayue could barely maintain the smile on her face.
And the third question. Xie Shiyuan had written “cat.”
She had told Xie Shiyuan that she liked dogs, while Yu Wan owned a cat.
Yu Xiayue took a deep breath, forcing a smile as she tried to make an excuse for Xie Shiyuan. “Shi Yuan, you must have gotten lost in thought about our first meeting when you saw the first question.”
Xie Shiyuan was somewhat absent-minded. “Yeah.”
[So sweet. He was thinking about their first meeting and got lost in the memory, so he didn’t notice the time.]
[He only snapped out of it when Yu Xiayue called him. Xie Shiyuan probably didn’t even read the questions clearly and just rushed to write the last few answers.]
[But he got the time of their first meeting and her birthday right. How is that not a sign that he cares?]
[Instead of worrying about Yu Xiayue, you should all be more worried about Yu Wan’s group.]
[Yu Wan was the first to finish. She looks so confident. Don’t tell me she got them all right?]
[You know, it’s actually possible.]
Yu Wan had finished first and was sitting there, looking extremely calm.
The host was also wondering if she had gotten them all right.
“Last group, let’s take a look at Yu Wan and Xie Mingyan’s answers.”
The moment both of their whiteboards were revealed.
The barrage of comments in the Live Stream Room stopped for several seconds.
Even the host’s eyes widened in disbelief.
On Yu Wan’s whiteboard were five big words: Don’t know
