Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 123
After the display, the bunny mascot waved goodbye and hopped away, disappearing from sight.
The comments section recognized this bunny mascot from the trailer. Some praised his cuteness, while others nervously asked:
[Doesn’t this seem a bit creepy to you?]
[It’s not too bad. If the bunny were bloody and holding a chainsaw, I’d be terrified.]
[Also, don’t you think there are a lot of restrictions in this episode?]
Hearing the staff’s words, Ruan Qiu thought to herself. The word “rules” had been emphasized multiple times since the recording began. It seemed this episode was about following rules. Until she understood the core rules, she couldn’t act rashly.
“After completing your activities, find the bunny mascot who will take you to your final group task!” The staff member grinned widely, somehow taking a red nose and putting it on, speaking in a clown’s exaggerated tone, “I’ll treat you to cotton candy!”
The guests silently watched the grinning staff member.
[I’m done for. I’m terrified of clowns.]
[I’m starting to feel uneasy. The director doesn’t want them to have a nice date, does he?]
[That smile is so creepy…Oh my god, Ruan Qiu is approaching him!]
Amid the viewers’ exclamations, Ruan Qiu took a step toward the cart and asked, “Is the cotton candy free? No conditions?”
“Of course, it’s free!” The staff member smiled, “No conditions at all! Kids love cotton candy. Wouldn’t you like one?”
“Oh, and by the way,” the staff added, “each person can only have one.”
Ruan Qiu thought for a moment, then smiled at the staff member, “Okay, thank you. I’d like strawberry-flavored cotton candy.”
Seeing Ruan Qiu receive a pink bunny-shaped cotton candy from the smiling staff member without any incident, the others quickly stepped up to get their own.
Qi Yingying took a tentative bite and exclaimed, “Delicious!”
Bai Jinyao, seeing this, couldn’t resist taking a bite herself.
The boys maintained their tough guy image, not lowering their heads to eat the cotton candy, and Ruan Qiu didn’t either. She recalled the staff member’s words and thoughtfully said to Ye Xingyu, “Shall we go experience the project now?”
Ye Xingyu was about to nod when Xue Wu suddenly asked the staff, “Is it really one per person? Can I give mine to someone else?”
The staff paused, then resumed his big smile, “Only one per person, but you can certainly share it. Good things should be shared, and who knows, you might get some unexpected surprises!”
Jiang Yan and Ye Xingyu looked at Ruan Qiu, but Xue Wu was already by her side, handing her his cotton candy. “Ms. Ruan, this is for you.”
Ruan Qiu blinked, recalling the CP guidebook tips, and intentionally touched Xue Wu’s fingers while taking it, smiling, “Thank you, Mr. Xue.”
[Hahaha, Xue has been jealous since the beginning. He finally couldn’t hold it in!]
[Am I the only one who noticed how they address each other? Ms. Ruan, Mr. Xue, is this something I can hear?]
[Everyone knows only couples give each other pet names! I’m dying from this!]
[They touched hands! I zoomed in and saw them touch hands!]
[Xue Wu is secretly touching the spot Ruan Qiu touched! They’re for real!]
[They’re definitely dating.]
CP fans in the comments were going wild. Jiang Yan, seeing Xue Wu give his cotton candy to Ruan Qiu, hesitated but decided to follow his heart.
He realized his feelings for Ruan Qiu weren’t purely innocent, but the attraction was real. Since Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu weren’t officially together, why couldn’t he compete?
What if Ruan Qiu also liked him?
So, Jiang Yan approached, offering his cotton candy to Ruan Qiu, “Ms. Ruan, this is honeydew-flavored. I want to give it to you.”
Ruan Qiu was momentarily stunned and glanced at Jiang Yan’s partner, Bai Jinyao. Bai had her head down, eating her cotton candy, so Ruan Qiu couldn’t see her expression. But since Jiang Yan insisted, Ruan Qiu nodded and accepted, “Thank you.”
Ye Xingyu was utterly speechless.
Shouldn’t the cotton candy be given to their date partners? That was the right answer. What Xue Wu and Jiang Yan were doing made it hard for him.
Ye Xingyu couldn’t ignore his date and give his cotton candy to Qi Yingying. With Ruan Qiu’s popularity rising, her Weibo followers had increased by tens of thousands, even surpassing his. He didn’t want to provoke her fans.
So, Ye Xingyu handed his cotton candy to Ruan Qiu with a stage smile, “Ruan Qiu, it’s an honor to date you today. This cotton candy is for you.”
Ruan Qiu: …
She thanked him with a complex expression, accepting the cotton candy, now holding two in each hand, squishing the bunnies out of shape.
[Ahhhhh, what is this love triangle?!]
[I love this drama! Ruan Qiu, accept it all! Be a queen and keep them all!]
[Xue Wu and Jiang Yan are ignoring their dates. Bai Jinyao looks so pitiful eating cotton candy alone.]
[The male guests are so rude. Can’t they care for their partners? This is so awkward.]
[Have you forgotten this is a dating show? Drama is the norm. The guys choosing their favorite girl is perfectly fine. Stop pitying Bai Jinyao and Qi Yingying.]
[Exactly, Ruan Qiu being popular is deserved!]
Fans were divided, and even casual viewers got involved. Strangely, no one criticized Ruan Qiu, accepting her receiving cotton candy as natural.
Holding her cotton candy, Ruan Qiu turned back to Ye Xingyu, continuing her earlier suggestion, “Shall we go experience the project?”
Ye Xingyu nodded, “Okay.”
The camera followed their actions, splitting into three groups. Since the guests were paired, their individual live rooms merged. For Ruan Qiu and Ye Xingyu’s room, the staff helpfully displayed their two assigned projects—
The giant swing and bumper cars.
Viewers who hadn’t checked the chalkboard earlier rushed to the other live rooms and found out that Xue Wu and Qi Yingying had the pirate ship and teacups, while Bai Jinyao and Jiang Yan had the roller coaster and carousel.
