Chapter 423 398: Does Your Other Half Agree?

Ji Xizhi sat in her seat, listening to the merciless banter from the other mentors.

She didn’t speak back.

Because it was true; she indeed had never been in a relationship, and Qiu Lin hadn’t either.

But ————

After the mentors finished joking, Su Mengtian showed her a 24-frame sweetness supercut, but she still shook her head:

“If anyone were to be in a relationship, the second female contestant and the second male contestant are the most likely pair.”

Ji Xizhi insisted on shipping the underdog contestants, and Su Mengtian along with the other mentors didn’t say much after that. The jokes were enough, so everyone decided to hold back their words at the right moment and started silently watching the guests at the villa fall in love on the big screen.

The guests had already prepared gifts for each other, the second female contestant and the fourth male contestant thrilled everyone by getting it perfectly sweet, correctly guessing each other’s gifts. The third male contestant didn’t guess the third female’s gift, while female contestants one, three, and four managed to guess the third male contestant’s gift.

One confirmed one-on-one, while on the other side was Sea King’s choice.

And the second male contestant from the Arctic Circle pairing that Ji Xizhi was shipping didn’t seem interested in this round and didn’t guess the female contestant’s gift. He waited until everyone had guessed, then casually picked up the last remaining one.

The first male contestant had a look of missed true love, looking at the second female contestant.

Gift selection concluded, next came the start of mutual affection.

According to the requirements of the “Bumping Love” show, confession was not allowed yet. The show excellently played up romance tensions, arranging male and female contestants in different rooms.

Then they lit up the lights for each other.

If both lights lit up at the same time, it meant the one you love also loves you, indirectly equivalent to a confession success.

However, during this game, there was also a segment where mentors could connect with both male and female contestants during the light-up moment.

Mentors could ask questions testing them, like asking about their views on love, how they would interact after dating, if expenses should be shared equally or not, when they might consider marriage, and more! Anything could be asked!

The central theme of “Bumping Love” centered on adult relationships, any tricky questions that lovers might not want to ask, were completely replaced by the mentors.

Of course, this was also the segment that viewers loved the most.

Su Mengtian watched as the second female contestant and fourth male contestant succeeded first in lighting up, excitedly slapping the table.

“I told you, didn’t I? So sweet, ahhhh~”

Sun Jian also chimed in: “The fourth male contestant is really impressive, he manages relationship details well, a perfect candidate for marriage!”

Xia Xiao nodded vigorously: “I’m a guy, and I’m even moved!”

After the trio of guests indulged in sweets, next came the Q&A segment.

Su Mengtian, as the head CP fan, shouted out the first question: “Fourth male contestant, after dating, how much of your salary are you willing to spend on the second female contestant?”

On the other side of the big screen, the fourth male contestant smiled firmly, “One hundred percent, all of it!”

[Woo woo woo, I knew I was shipping right! Loved it, loved it~]

[Too sweet, I’m fainting! Send twenty thousand, note under Su Mengtian’s name~]

After Su Mengtian’s question, Qiu Lin also asked the fourth male contestant a simpler question, whether he wanted to marry the second female contestant, which the fourth male contestant answered firmly as well.

Xia Xiao and Sun Jian chose to ask the second female contestant questions, one about money, and the other about family responsibility, both more realistic. The second female contestant showed willingness to compromise for love, making the audience in the live broadcast more invested.

All four regular mentors asked their questions, finally the microphone moved to Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi was browsing through a stack of documents on the table. As a mentor of a dating show, the program team had prepared resumes of the eight guests for the mentors’ participation.

Ji Xizhi was examining the fourth male contestant’s resume.

The resume provided by the program was simple, mainly covered basics like zodiac, age, preferences, occupation etc., with little information, but usually, no mentors seriously looked through them.

Qiu Lin noticed Ji Xizhi was reading intently, leaned over to ask: “Zhi Zhi, are you also planning to question the fourth male contestant via connection?”

“Mm.”

Ji Xizhi answered but didn’t immediately ask the host for a connection, instead turned to the host and asked a question.

“Can I really ask anything?”

The host was taken aback but then calmly replied, “Yes, anything you want!”

After speaking, he exchanged a glance with Director Zhou in the slanted rear of the meeting room.

Director Zhou also heard Ji Xizhi’s words, he was getting excited.

After inviting Ji Xizhi, he deliberately gave her no restrictions, basically telling her to go wild, apply the law if you wish!

After all, it was a dating show, what couldn’t be said!

The guests were all amateurs, and the mentor was seated in a meeting room without moving; how could Ji Xizhi possibly bring down the heavens of his program group?

Director Zhou had already planned out that if Ji Xizhi applied the law, he’d instantly buy trending topics!

The program team agreed to ask anything, so Ji Xizhi didn’t hesitate any longer.

She gestured for the host to make the connection, the fourth male contestant, thanks to his excellent answers, was blushing, eyes glued firmly to the second female contestant nearby, and she was also moved by his sincere responses, their feelings perfectly intertwined.

As Ji Xizhi started the connection, the fourth male contestant was so excited he made a small gesture, “Wow Teacher Ji, being questioned by you is truly my honor! I’m your fan too!”

By admitting his fan status during the connection, the fourth male contestant won further favor with many viewers.

Upon hearing the fourth male contestant’s proactive greetings, Ji Xizhi didn’t directly ask a question but rather countered, “You’re my fan? Do you know the law?”

The fourth male contestant was embarrassed as Ji Xizhi questioned him publicly, but scratched his head and answered readily with grace, “Can’t say I know it well, just aware of some basic common sense, also learned a lot from Teacher Ji’s show!”

[Ji Xizhi’s question was quite sharp!]

[Quite true, but this is her normal state with her fans, just check the ‘Knowing Law CP’ super talk, it’s understandable, haha!]

“Then it seems you may not know enough.” Ji Xizhi raised her head to look at the fourth male contestant’s smiling face, slowly speaking: “You might not fully understand the ‘Marriage Law’; bigamy is an illegal act.”

“And, if the couple doesn’t make prior arrangements, during the marital relationship, your earnings should belong to shared marital property. You said you’d give your entire salary to the second female contestant, does your other half agree?”

Ji Xizhi’s few words were like dropping bombs in the meeting room, the villa, and the livestream, a ‘boom’ sound brought all voices to a halt.
