Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 140

[Not sure means she definitely does! Ruan Qiu likes Xue Wu; she just isn’t certain about her feelings yet!]

[Xue Wu likes you! The person he’s talking about is you, Ruan Ruan!]

[Xue Wu, hurry up and confess! I’m ready; I’ve started recording!]

[That gaze from Emperor Xue really can melt hearts… Ah, Ruan Qiu, wake up already!]

The audience was more anxious than the parties involved, passionately shouting in the comments.

In the shot, Ruan Qiu appeared calm on the surface, seemingly unconcerned, while her hands gripped the edge of her clothing tightly enough to almost rip it, her heart racing uncontrollably.

Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts: What did Xue Wu mean? Why was he saying this now? Did he remember that they were just putting on a show? Could he be trying to confess there? Why didn’t he tell her earlier so they could coordinate?

…Or maybe Xue Wu meant someone else, and he was using this opportunity to tell her he didn’t want to put on a show anymore?

Suddenly, Ruan Qiu felt a surge of anger. She turned to face Xue Wu, who was smiling at her, and heard him say, “Teacher Ruan, I—”

“Boom!”

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Suddenly, fireworks erupted in the now-darkened sky, bursting into dazzling colors. Unlike ordinary fireworks, once they burst, each little bloom of light would scatter again until the sky was filled with shimmering silver flowers, trailing long tails as they fell back down.

The sound of the fireworks interrupted Xue Wu’s confession. Ruan Qiu turned to see the glass outside display fireworks that formed the letters “RQ”, the initials of her name, making her smile as she pretended not to hear the end of Xue Wu’s sentence, letting the colorful light hide her flushed ears.

At that moment, Xue Wu also turned to watch the fireworks. He saw Ruan Qiu’s relaxed smile, her bright eyes illuminated by the fireworks, and silently swallowed the rest of his planned confession.

That day, the kiss Ruan Qiu had given him on his cheek had left him flustered. Her later shy reactions only fueled his desire to express his feelings, to let her know how much he cared for her.

He had acted impulsively. With a small sigh, Xue Wu turned back to enjoy the fireworks with Ruan Qiu, feeling the Ferris wheel slowly descend, thinking that even the heavens seemed to agree that it was not the time for confessions.

But there was no rush; they had plenty of time ahead.

Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu silently watched the fireworks, the previously flirtatious atmosphere turning into a warm, gentle moment. Meanwhile, the comments had gone wild.

[The confession was perfectly drowned out by the fireworks! Such a cliché! Can this really happen? It’s so melodramatic!!]

[Who is it that set off fireworks at this moment, interrupting Xue Wu’s confession? I’ll kill you!!]

[I had my contribution money ready; sob, sob, Xue Wu, please finish your sentence!]

[How can you be so sure it was a confession? It might just be gratitude!]

[Impossible! With my ten years of lip-reading experience, I can tell you that Xue Wu was definitely about to say ‘I like you’! Ah!]

[I’m so angry! I’m more disappointed and frustrated than the parties involved! I want to bang my head against the wall!]

[Calm down; there will be more opportunities. We must trust Emperor Xue.]

At this moment, watching Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu on the Ferris wheel, the audience was too distracted by the regret of Xue Wu not successfully confessing to appreciate the beautiful fireworks. They wished they could jump into the screen and make Xue Wu say it again, then make Ruan Qiu agree.

Meanwhile, Guan Zhenyuan looked up at the sky, feeling quite pleased with himself. He thought the fireworks had helped deepen Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu’s feelings, considering it a successful completion of the task his wife had given him, expecting a reward from her!

Backstage, the deputy director wiped away a tear and thought, “It wasn’t easy; thank you, Xue Wu. He has finally brought this dating show back on track. Sweet romance is what we, the sweet-tooth enthusiasts, need!”

What does it matter if there’s regret? Regret makes it more memorable, making people crave more!

Qi Yingying pouted, wanting to enjoy it while also feeling disdain, swiping her phone screen. Jiang Yan lowered his head in frustration, his fists clenched, while Ye Xingyu and Bai Jinyao looked on in amazement and envy, not expecting Xue Wu to go this far, feeling some regret over his failed confession.

They all understood that Xue Wu was genuinely serious about this.

The head director wasn’t concerned about the boring romance; he was just lamenting his script, sitting dejectedly in his chair. He glanced at his chat interface with Cheng Tianya, starting to prepare the script for the next episode.

He was determined to get back on track!

After Ruan Qiu and Xue Wu finished their ride on the Ferris wheel and returned to the filming backstage, Ruan Qiu felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Qi Yingying and Jiang Yan were both unwilling to see Xue Wu smoothly pursue Ruan Qiu, so they kept quiet, not mentioning what had just happened and denying Xue Wu any chance to continue his momentum. On the other hand, Ye Xingyu and Bai Jinyao were not very familiar with the two of them, so they had no position to bring up the earlier incident and also remained silent.

Only the deputy director was visibly excited. With the chief director having given up and become apathetic, he naturally took over the show’s direction. He first led the guests to complete the selection of their crushes, then asked them to choose another activity to experience as a live broadcast bonus.

Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu politely declined the deputy director’s invitation, and Qi Yingying and the others exchanged glances, feeling a bit like giving up as well—

There was no doubt that even if Xue Wu hadn’t successfully confessed, the buzz around them this time had skyrocketed.

No matter how much they tried to promote themselves, they couldn’t compete with the heat generated by Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu. Plus, the show had already brought them enough traffic. If they wanted to reach a higher level, they might as well focus on other work.

So, they all declined the deputy director’s invitation, got into the car sent by their respective agents, and prepared to leave this dreamlike amusement park located in the suburbs.
