Chapter 2963: You are my fashion darling 22

The card-drawing segment was tense and exciting.

Jin Chen casually pulled out two character cards from the sealed box and flipped them over.

The cards read: "First love A, who chose to break up because of a love rival's interference," and "White moonlight B, who went abroad after the breakup."

Gu Chen Zhou drew a story card and flipped it open.

Story: After five years of separation, they unexpectedly reunite in an unfamiliar city.

At the same time, a staff member turned the big wheel; the pointer stopped, pointing to the venue: the park where they first confessed their love.

Jin Chen: "……"

Gu Chen Zhou: "……"

The two looked at their own cards, then at the scene on the big wheel, and fell into silence for a moment.

First love, misunderstanding, breakup due to a love rival, reunion after five years, the setting being the park of their first confession… these elements are a bit too much.

Gu Chen Zhou subconsciously glanced at the main seat of the judges' bench.

That Chen Zong was propping his chin on one hand, seemingly casually looking their way, his gaze calm, but Gu Chen Zhou inexplicably felt a chill on the back of his neck.

The bullet comments were already laughing hysterically.

: Hahaha Gu Chen Zhou, who are you looking at!

: Did Gu Chen Zhou just sneak a look at Chen Zong? He's panicking! He's panicking!

: Otaku Brother: expressionless, inner thoughts: hiss.

: Chen Zong: smiling., inner thoughts: pulling out a grudge notebook)

The performances of the other groups began one after another.

For the sake of buzz and camera time, any group that drew a similar romantic or ambiguous relationship unanimously chose to increase physical contact—hugs, holding hands, foreheads touching—and even two daring groups outright staged a kiss, drawing uproar from the crowd and screams in the bullet comments.

The judges had their own scoring criteria, but overall, groups that dared to perform and had tension received relatively higher scores.

It was Jin Chen and Gu Chen Zhou's turn.

On the judges' bench, Chenshu sat up slightly, carrying a hint of danger.

Jin Chen subtly raised his eyebrows, then withdrew his gaze.

Qi Jing glanced curiously at Chenshu, then looked at the two already standing on stage, feeling a vague premonition.

This pair probably won't play by the usual rules.

Sure enough, before going on stage, Jin Chen and Gu Chen Zhou only exchanged a few quick words in a low voice.

After hearing it, Gu Chen Zhou's expression twisted slightly, and he squeezed out a breathy sound from his throat: "……Fine."

The scene performance began.

The lighting simulated the atmosphere of an evening park, with a simple set of benches and streetlamp props.

Jin Chen and Gu Chen Zhou entered the frame from two directions.

Gu Chen Zhou, heavy-hearted, strolled through the park, slowly approaching the familiar figure on the path.

The distance between them gradually shortened.

Finally, Gu Chen Zhou stopped a few meters from Jin Chen, carrying the strangeness of a long-awaited reunion, as if hard to speak yet compelled to ask, "How have you been these years…?"

A standard long-awaited reunion opening line.

Deep feeling, restraint, carrying a thousand words left unsaid.

Jin Chen, hearing that, slowly lifted his head.

The camera immediately gave him a close-up; in his beautiful peach-blossom eyes, there was none of the expected agitated sorrow or resentment, only a detached chill.

He looked at Gu Chen Zhou, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Not bad."

"Is that so……" Gu Chen Zhou replied softly, his tail tone drawn out, carrying an indescribable wistfulness.

His gaze locked firmly on Jin Chen, and his feet began to move, step by step, toward him.

Everyone thought what came next would be a deep, long‑awaited reunion stare, or a tearful embrace.

Gu Chen Zhou suddenly grabbed Jin Chen's collar with such force that Jin Chen had to lean back slightly, and the shirt collar was pulled out of shape.

"Is that so…… then what about him?"

He stared hard at Jin Chen's calm, unrippled eyes, as if trying to detect even a trace of panic or guilt, "I thought you tied him up back then to get revenge on me… because of me!"

"How dare you…… how dare you imprison him for five years!"

Contestants' bench: ……

I knew these two gods wouldn't play by the book!

Bullet comments:???

: What the hell is this? Who's imprisoning whom?

: Jin Chen imprisoning the love rival??

: This isn't how the script was supposed to go!

: We were promised a white‑light reunion, deep tragic romance! I'm all ready to start dropping little pearls!

Even as his collar was being jerked, Jin Chen didn't struggle; his dark eyes calmly returned the gaze, then, finger by finger, he pried open Gu Chen Zhou's hand that was gripping his collar.

Gu Chen Zhou's chest heaved violently, but having his collar pried open forced him to let go.

Jin Chen leisurely smoothed out his crumpled collar, and in his peach‑blossom eyes a faint, icy yet gorgeous smile blossomed.

His voice wasn't loud, carrying a lazy tone, yet like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, it sent chills down one's spine.

"What's the rush?"

Jin Chen slightly turned his body, tilted his head, and smiled toward the judges' bench.

The camera abruptly swung toward the judges' bench.

Jin Chen's gaze remained cold, hiding a hint of gloomy obsession, speaking in a gentle yet dangerous tone, like a lover's whisper, enunciating each word: "Darling, have you seen enough of the show?"

Still not coming over.

The last half-sentence, he lowered his voice, the ending slightly rising, like a hook and also like a command that must be absolutely obeyed, utterly a psychologically Distorted, extremely strong desire for control... Pervert.

Qi Jing beside Chenshu: "……?"

The other judges also all showed dumbfounded expressions.

: Holy shit!!!!!

: Program Team tonight must fill up the chicken legs for Zhaige and Gu Chenzhou!

: I fucking went dumb! What kind of godly development is this? Chenshu is the kidnapped love rival? Isn't it not allowed to find judges?

:... Although but, no one said Chenshu is a judge, he came as a mysterious guest.

: Imprisoning Prue?! But why does it feel so good?!

: Jin Chen's gaze! That smile! I got goosebumps! Pervert beauty, I'm so into it!

: Chenshu! Chenshu, move! Hurry up and move! (voice hoarse from exhaustion)

: Jin Chen was still looking at Chenshu, the corner of his lips holding that icy yet exquisite smile, patiently waiting.
