Chapter 111: Love Variety Show Strategy System (29)

In the blink of an eye, the day of the third official date arrived.

The newly joined female guest had also arrived; she was a rising starlet in the entertainment industry—Luo Qianyun, a classical beauty who shot to fame due to a period drama.

After the director finished introducing both sides and invited Luo Qianyun to take her seat, he seized the moment to begin reading the Task card:

"Today is the day for your second 'One-Day Date.' In a moment, we will determine your dating partners for today through a small game testing your tacit understanding."

As he spoke, he took out the boards he had prepared in advance. Different categories of vocabulary were written on different boards, including fruits, colors, numbers, seasons, animals...

"I will hold up a board at random, and everyone will answer based on the board I show. For example, if I hold up 'fruit,' everyone should tap the table lightly while answering: 'Fruit, fruit, Watermelon, Watermelon,' or 'Fruit, fruit, Grape, Grape.'"

After the director gave a few examples, he continued: "Guests with matching answers will be rewarded with one card of the same suit and earn 1 point. Ultimately, your dating partner for today will be matched based on who has the most cards of the same color. If three guests hold cards of the same color, then the guest with the higher score will have priority in choosing."

It was a very simple little game, but since none of the guests present had played it before, they were actually quite interested.

Xie Danni quickly made a decision; she leaned into Lu Ming's ear and said:

"Xie Yang's favorite fruit is dragon fruit; her favorite color is blue; her favorite number is likely 6, or perhaps 8; her favorite season should be autumn; her favorite animal should be a cat..."

Lu Ming looked at her in disbelief: "You want me to be a pair with her?"

"It's just an expedient measure! I don't like her. You teaming up with her isn't for you to be a couple with her, but for you to vent my anger for me. I really hate her so much... Lu Ming, please help me..."

Lu Ming's current Favorability Value toward her was 84.

Although he had moved past the stage of being blindly obedient and filled with love, his affection remained very strong.

As her coquettish whisper reached his ear, his bones felt a bit soft, and he agreed in one breath: "Fine, I'll help you. As long as you're happy."

"I knew you were the best to me!"

"The game begins—"

The director held up the first board: Fruit.

All the guests tapped the tables lightly, smiling as they answered simultaneously:

"Fruit, fruit, Peach, peach!"

"Fruit, fruit, Apple, apple!"

"Fruit, fruit,..."

"..."

The first four words were very uniform, but the last four words were very chaotic; almost no guest had a repeat.

Oh, there was one pair! Liu Yang and Xiao Chenglei, both of them liked kiwis!

Lu Ming looked at Xie Danni and mouthed: "Didn't you say Xie Yang likes dragon fruit?"

Xie Danni felt a tiny bit of doubt about her own memory: "I remember it was dragon fruit..."

That little bitch must have done it on purpose! I've never seen her like eating cherries that much usually!

As if deliberately acting against her, in the following rounds of the game, everything Xie Yang answered was inconsistent with what Xie Danni had told Lu Ming.

In the end, Xie Yang matched answers with Zhou Hanqing in the three rounds of seasons, animals, and numbers.

According to the scoring rules, the two were automatically matched as today's dating partners.

Lu Ming held the "answers" Xie Danni gave him, but instead of blocking Xie Yang, he ended up blocking Liu Yang.

Xie Danni had no heart for the game and reported answers at random to finish the task; as a result, she bumped into Xiao Chenglei for several rounds, and the two were once again paired as an official dating CP.

Jiang Tuo and Chen Anqi; the new female guest was with Fu Yichen.

Looking at the freshly baked team results, Xie Danni almost bit through her newly made porcelain teeth.

Xiao Chenglei felt bitter inside; he wasn't a fool, so how could he not see that Xie Danni didn't like him?

He couldn't say he liked Xie Danni either.

When he first arrived, he did have a good impression of her, but after these days of getting along and interacting, he discovered that Xie Danni wasn't as good as he had imagined, and Liu Yang was more compatible with him.

It was a pity that his first date was randomly connected to Xie Danni by that kid Jiang Tuo like a connect-the-dots game, causing him to miss his One-Day Date with Liu Yang.

He had thought he could work hard this time and get into a group with Liu Yang; he had even thought of the dating location for it, but who would have thought it would be Xie Danni again...

At this moment, the look Xiao Chenglei gave the director was full of resentment, looking just like a pair of star-crossed lovers who had been beaten apart.

The director loved to see couples and CPs broken up and shuffled; that was the only way to have highlights.

He held the megaphone and said with a smile: "Since you've been divided, let's get in the cars in pairs and set off for your dates! Old rules: return to the Romantic Cabin before ten o'clock tonight."

As soon as the director finished speaking, Zhou Hanqing walked toward Xie Yang and asked her if there was anywhere she particularly wanted to go.

Xie Yang tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked him: "Are you interested in Shazhou Island?"

These past few days, besides caring about her situation that night at the Ancient Town, Xiaoying sent her the food from their base Canteen and the extra meals for the team members' birthdays almost every day.

Occasionally, she would also send clips of their training, daily life in the dormitory, and videos of them surfing, diving, and playing with speedboats in the sea during their breaks, inviting her to come and play whenever she was free.

Xie Yang was shamefully tempted.

Surfing, diving, speedboats, exhilarating competitions... every single thing made this body, which had risen to S-Rank, restless.

"What about you? Is there anywhere you particularly want to go?"

Seeing Zhou Hanqing shake his head, Xie Yang's tone revealed a few traces of excitement: "Then let's go to Shazhou Island! Let's go surfing, deep-sea diving, and play with speedboats!"

"..."

Learning that Xie Yang was going to Shazhou Island again, the director was also speechless, but what could he say?

There was no rule beforehand forbidding guests from going to a location they had visited on a previous date.

Besides, last time she was with Fu Yichen, and this time she was with Zhou Hanqing; they were two different dating partners, so what was wrong with going to the same location for a date? Even Brother Han didn't seem unhappy about it.

As for the concern about not having enough filming material...

The director stroked his chin, pondering that with Xie Yang there, a situation where there wasn't enough material shouldn't occur.

Hadn't she had the most brilliant shots in the edits of the recent episodes?

It was even to the point where there was too much, leaving the post-production team not knowing how to cut it.

Rather than worrying about Xie Yang, it would be better to worry about the other pairs of guests.

The director scratched his hair.

In the short moment he was distracted, he discovered that the guests had all set off one after another.

He looked at the monitor and asked his assistant, "What about the other pairs? Did they discuss a rough itinerary for their dates?"

"Jiang Tuo and Chen Anqi are also interested in Shazhou Island; they just went back upstairs to grab their swimsuits and are following behind Xie Yang's car to the pier to catch a boat."

After a pause, the assistant let out an "Oh?": "Film Emperor Lu has also decided to go to Shazhou Island."

"..."

Why is everyone going to Shazhou Island?

Is that place really that suitable for a date?

Judging from the last One-Day Date between Xie Yang and Yichen, excluding the part where Xie Yang played beach volleyball with the National Team, only the Lighthouse could really be considered a date setting; the rest didn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding.

Xie Yang and Zhou Hanqing going to Shazhou Island might be because they want to meet with the National Beach Volleyball Team again. Since the National Team is willing to be on camera, there is no fear of lacking material to film.

But why are the other pairs going there? Are the date venues on the Main Island not enough for them to choose from?

The director's head became even balder.
