Chapter 53: Shengzai Preparing to Appear on a Dating Reality Show

Seeking Shengzai to cooperate in revenge, Aqua naturally also brought enough sincerity.

Shengzai helps him find the enemy, and the final work of being the executioner can be done by him.

Simply put, the blame can be taken by him; anyway, in order to avenge Ai, he had already planned to bet his life.

Shengzai only needs to assist from the sidelines; after everything is settled, he, Aqua, can face the prison sentence alone, while Shengzai goes back to being his own bright and beautiful star—this was the bargaining chip he offered.

Aqua was also not worried that Shengzai wouldn't help him, because for Shengzai, the other party was also an enemy.

Not only did he indirectly kill his brother, but he also made the sister of his guardian paralyzed from the waist down.

Taking a step back, even if Shengzai really didn't intend to assist him, at least he wouldn't report him; this was the reason Aqua finally chose to confess everything to Shengzai.

And the facts also proved that he, Aqua, had finally bet correctly.

Because when Shengzai finally left, he asked him for Masaya Kaburagi's contact information.

And when Masaya Kaburagi on the other side received Shengzai's call, he was also quite surprised.

To be honest, although he was a producer with a small reputation and had accumulated quite a few connections over the years, the young actors he knew were either newcomers or had already passed their prime.

He really didn't have much chance to come into contact with popular actors like Aunt Wenren Shengzai.

And Shengzai, after the call was connected, also directly stated his purpose, claiming that he had been asked by his good friend Hoshino Aqua to participate in this season of *Love Now*.

Hearing Shengzai's words, Masaya Kaburagi was clearly also stunned for a moment; he had only mentioned it to Aqua casually before, but he really hadn't expected that the other party's connections were so wild that he actually called Aunt Wenren Shengzai over to help.

*Love Now* was originally a dating reality show aimed at young people, and Shengzai was a super popular actor now.

Masaya Kaburagi could already imagine how much heat it would attract if the trailer for this season's show came out!

"Kaburagi-san? Is there any difficulty? If there is really no way..."

Because he was too surprised to hear that Shengzai intended to participate in *Love Now*, Masaya Kaburagi didn't react for a long time.

And Shengzai, who hadn't heard a reply for a long time, thought the other party had difficulties and was just about to find another way when he heard the other party hurriedly say: "It is naturally something I would beg for if Aunt Wenren-kun wants to come and participate in our small show.

It's just that the purpose of *Love Now* is a dating reality show, so the ratio of men to women should be equal; currently, we have already found three couples.

We naturally welcome Aunt Wenren-kun if he wants to participate, but in a short time, we might not be able to find a partner who matches you.

But please also believe in our ability, Aunt Wenren-kun; even if there is only one night left, we will find suitable guests."

A super popular actor like Aunt Wenren Shengzai actively coming to the door—Masaya Kaburagi and even the entire *Love Now* project team naturally didn't want to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And the other candidates for participation had indeed already been decided long ago.

Although it wasn't impossible to temporarily kick out a male guest and have Shengzai replace him, Masaya Kaburagi, although he looked unsympathetic and money-grubbing, still had the basic professional ethics.

And the other party was Aunt Wenren Shengzai; if such a heavyweight figure appeared among the male guests, if the candidates for the female guests were too casual, it would inevitably cause resistance from Shengzai's fan base.

Hearing that the other party didn't want him because they were worried about not having a female partner, Shengzai on the other end of the phone, after being silent for a while, also actively said: "If that's the case, I can help you introduce another female guest, right?"

Shengzai returned home almost stepping on the Aunt Wenren family's curfew of ten o'clock, and Yuko and Ako, who were originally watching TV, saw him return to his room and also tiptoed to the outside of Shengzai's room door in unison, and leaned their ears against the door.

"Shengzai that child has learned to lie now! This tone of voice, it doesn't sound like he's talking to a male classmate at all."

"Kana? That Arima Kana? I remember their relationship was indeed quite good before."

"Yuko, what's going on? Who is this child named Arima Kana? Why don't I know?"

"Sister, have you forgotten? That Arima family, our neighbors before... Oh right, you hadn't woken up yet, so you didn't know Shengzai and Kana were good friends."

"Childhood sweethearts! Yuko, such an important thing, you actually didn't tell sister.

So that is to say, this Arima Kana is also studying at this Yangdong High School, so they met again today and went out on a date tonight?"

Shengzai in the room clearly didn't expect that there were two eavesdropping demons lying outside the door.

But he was indeed talking to Arima Kana now, because he wanted to participate in *Love Now* and needed a female partner, and Arima Kana was the most suitable person.

Half an hour ago, upon learning that Shengzai could solve the female guest problem himself, Masaya Kaburagi was also quite happy, saying that if this was the case, then there would be no problem at all.

And when thinking about suitable candidates, the faces of young women kept flashing through Shengzai's mind, but they were excluded one by one.

This circle is very realistic; if possible, Shengzai didn't want to owe others favors.

And those so-called "friends," he had always been going through the motions; letting people come to act in this kind of low-grade reality show, they might not necessarily come.

The point is that the only requirement Masaya Kaburagi gave him was that the other party's age must also be high school age.

Because the theme of this season was campus romance, the candidates for guests were all of high school age.

So after a wave of screening, Shengzai only had three candidates left.

Shiranui Frill, Arima Kana, and Washimi Yukiyuki, whom he had just met today.

As for Hoshino Rubi, don't even think about it; her brother wouldn't agree.

To ensure the heat of the show, Shiranui Frill was definitely the best candidate.

A super popular actor couple would definitely be full of gimmicks, but the point of the problem was that unlike him, Shiranui Frill had a signed agency; even if Shiranui Frill herself could give him face, *Love Now* definitely couldn't afford her appearance fee.

As for Washimi Yukiyuki, if he made a request, both she herself and the "Giant Cannon Launch" agency she belonged to shouldn't refuse; after all, Washimi Yukiyuki herself was also a newcomer with no fame, and this kind of work was also an opportunity for her.

But Shengzai felt that it was only the first day he met the other party, and asking her to be his girlfriend, even if it was fake, didn't seem very good...

So after thinking about it, Shengzai still felt that this candidate had to be Arima Kana.
