Order of waking up?
Shang Qingrao immediately started recalling.
She was definitely the first one to wake up in the girlsâ group, because when she got up to wash up, the door of the room next door was still tightly shut.
Who was the first to wake up in the boysâ group...
Liang Qizhou!
He has a habit of drinking coffee in the morning. Although the show doesnât provide breakfast, they left some coffee beans downstairs. She smelled bursts of coffee aroma while she was washing up, so it must be Liang Qizhou grinding coffee downstairs.
So, this time for the pairing, she was definitely in a group with Liang Qizhou.
Thinking of this, Shang Qingrao couldnât help but feel happy, temporarily suppressing the dissatisfaction from being targeted by Jiang Lai earlier.
"Alright, now letâs watch the video replay."
Shang Qingrao looked over and let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Liang Qizhou was the first one to wake up among the boys.
As for Jiang Lai, he was the latest to wake up and was still pretending to punch in his room. According to the order of waking up, her partner this time was Hu Peiyuan.
Among the boys, he was the lowest rank.
Although he looked nice, after all, he was only a somewhat famous singer, with a limited number of fans, so his exposure wouldnât be much in the end.
The final pairing results were announced.
"Alright, everyone saw clearly.
First group: Shang Qingrao, Gao Yanwei
Second group..."
"Sorry, why are we a group?"
Gao Yanwei couldnât help but speak up.
The director responded expressionlessly.
"You both woke up first and second; according to the rules, that makes you a group."
Shang Qingrao felt a vague sense of unease.
"Not following the previous rules for pairing?"
Itâs a dating show, how can there be a same-gender group called a dating show?
The director smiled mysteriously.
"I never said it had to be mixed-gender groups before."
Now people online have unique tastes; stirring up a little same-sex pairing would only increase the heat. Anyway, thereâs still plenty of episodes; letâs insert this little game and see the results first.
Gao Yanwei looked at Shang Qingrao, holding back her dissatisfaction without saying anything.
If according to this pairing, then by the waking up order, paired with Liang Qizhou is...
"Second group, Liang Qizhou, Zhou Luo."
Thankfully, as long as Liang Qizhou isnât paired with another girl, it doesnât matter.
At that moment, the director continued to announce.
"Third group, Murong Yan, Jiang Lai."
"Fourth group, Coco, Hu Peiyuan."
For a moment, Shang Qingraoâs relaxed heart couldnât help but tense up again.
[Aaaaa whatâs going on!! Why break up the Qing-Mu pair!]
[My gosh, Jiang Laiâs loving it, do you remember how she cozied up to Murong Yan in the first episode?]
[Hahaha, the Domineering Presidentâs expression is hilarious, both affection and disdain clearly written on his face]
[Kind of want to see the drama, whatâs going on, director, you really canât stop stirring things up, can you?]
Shang Qingrao glanced at Murong Yan, then quickly lowered her head, her smile noticeably forced.
Murong Yan noticed and felt a bit heartache, looking at the director wanting to change the rules.
He had finally made Jiang Lai give up, now continuing in this manner, wouldnât it be asking for trouble?
"Director, can we change the pairings?"
Among them, only Murong Yan dared to straightforwardly question the rules set by the director.
But Shang Qingrao stood up to stop him.
"The director must have a plan, letâs stick to the arrangement; after all, itâs just a small game, the sooner we complete the task, the sooner it ends.
Yan, go for it."
The tug of the eyes, the adherence from the mouth.
"The heroine is smart indeed, allowing the hero to feel her reluctance while appearing in a good light in front of the camera, not offending the director, she really is something."
[Yan!! Oh my god, Yan!!]
[You two sweeten me up to death, Jiang Lai, go away]
[Iâm dying, if I were Jiang Lai, Iâd feel unlucky! If you two are dating, just quit the show next season!]
[Watching a dating show is all about the ambiguity and pull; if youâre already so blatant, then why participate in a dating show]
[The Qing-Mu pair is the sweetest in the world!!]
[Jiang Lai: Really gloomy, being all lovey-dovey]
Coco suddenly frowned, blurting out.
"You arenât secretly dating, are you?"
Shang Qingraoâs smile paused but then she slowly shook her head.
"Weâre probably not at that stage yet; letâs not say things that might be misunderstood on camera. After all, weâre actors."
[Dead fish eyes, what does it matter to you if theyâre dating or not]
[Appearance attacks are unnecessary; Coco is an international model and doesnât rely on looks for a living]
[You two act all lovey-dovey but donât allow others to ask? If dating, then donât appear in the next show]
Shang Qingrao didnât want others to misunderstand her relationship with Murong Yan. Feeling the suspicious gazes, she looked at Jiang Lai and directly shifted the topic.
"Yan has always been patient with girls; later, he should take good care of Jiang Lai, donât let the girl down."
Jiang Lai smiled and stood directly beside Murong Yan.
"Task completion first, trust me, no matter whoâs paired with me, weâre all going for first place.
Hear that, Domineering President? Make sure during the task, even if not exerting full effort, you donât drag me down."
Murong Yanâs face instantly darkened.
What does Jiang Lai mean?
Intentionally provoking him to get his attention?
Sheâs used this trick to highlight her presence.
The task started and the director handed out heart rate monitors to each team.
"Wear the monitor, it can track everyoneâs heart rate in real time. Be careful of intense exercise leading to high heart rates, revealing your true thoughts."
Jiang Lai looked at the monitor in his hand and checked his current heart rate.
88.
On a screen they couldnât see, the heart rates of the six guests were all projected in real time.
Jiang Lai: 88
Murong Yan: 92
[Wow, Iâve got the name for this pairing, letâs call it the Eyebrows and Eyes pairing!]
[Shipping everything will only harm yourself]
[If Jiang Lai had any decency, donât ruin othersâ Qing-Mu pairing]
[Please, is Murong Yan that great? Any woman would pounce on him? Your own dirty thoughts are projecting onto others]
[Jiang Lai can shine solo, okay? Such rubbish pairing, stay away from her, I truly enjoy her looks]
The small teams set off and arrived at the entrance, where two electric scooters and two bicycles were neatly displayed in front of everyone.
"Each team chooses their mode of transportation, first come, first served."
Gao Yanwei went up and chose an electric scooter.
The remaining electric scooter was quickly taken by Hu Peiyuan.
The only two bikes left didnât leave much choice.
Zhou Luo rode one carrying Liang Qizhou.
Murong Yan stood quietly, not intending to move forward.
Thereâs limited time for the task; in order to win more rewards, itâs essential to seize every minute according to the map.
But Murong Yan was leisurely walking forward, watching everyone ride off on scooters and bikes.
