Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

"The typhoon has stopped, right?" Shen Jinyue rummaged near the small door on the first floor, curiously asking.

"Yeah, we're getting some outdoor shots."

Before long, a staff member arrived late and glanced over the living room full of guests. After confirming no one was missing, they looked at their cue card, reading it without any emotion.

"Today's heart-fluttering task theme is...."

[Summer Sea Breeze]

Never mind Xu Qingyan, the other guests' faces also spoke volumes upon hearing the theme. With this weather, the only 'sea breeze' you'd get is from a typhoon!

"Didn't the typhoon just pass?" Nian Shuyu ruffled her hair, looking exasperated.

The staff member maintained a serious face, as if to say, I'm not embarrassed; it's someone else who should be. Seeing everyone looking in their direction, they coughed once and swiftly made their escape.

What could you possibly do outdoors after a typhoon?

Xu Qingyan thought and thought, but a certain curse kept haunting his mind. During a typhoon, the old folks in the village would say, don't stand under coconut trees, or else.....

The group began trickling outside, only to find that the so-called 'Summer Sea Breeze' task involved ice skating in the morning and jet skiing by the sea in the afternoon.

Whether the afternoon jet skiing by the sea would happen depended on the weather; if it rained, it would be cancelled. Otherwise, if something went wrong, a car accident on a romance reality show would indeed provoke a fierce backlash from the whole internet.

The production team had tried their best. Though the typhoon had passed, the winds around the island were still strong. Surfing by the sea was definitely out of the question, and so was paragliding.

But since they had already spent a day filming indoors yesterday, they could not repeat that. After racking their brains, they realized there was a large ice rink on the island, and a plan formed.

The team took advantage of the post-typhoon period to rent the rink at a low price. It was just that the rink was a bit far, so the guests would need to drive there themselves.

Nine guests, Nian Shuyu and Liu Renzhi shared a car.

Ever since the campfire reading session yesterday, the relationship between these two had progressed rapidly. Liu Renzhi, despite his playboy look, acted like an awkward virgin.

Xu Qingyan didn't even have to guess; Nian Shuyu was likely a gold-digger.

However, he wasn't sure whether Liu Renzhi was just putting on an act. It seemed like Nian Shuyu had Liu Renzhi completely figured out, but Xu Qingyan couldn't guess what her true intentions were.

Cui Ying got into You Zijun's car, maintaining a "comedian's" protective work attitude. Though she sat in the back seat, there was still the illusion that Cui Ying was the one driving.

Bai Jinze was left with no partner, as three of the five female guests had gone with Xu Qingyan in one car. One was an insider from the production team, and the other was the victim of the hot topic bad boy, Nian Shuyu.

Basically, Bai Jinze was left without a role in the whole show.

The production team was pragmatic, even when dealing with celebrities. If a guest still put on airs and couldn't attract traffic, then they were pretty much useless.

Now, even if Bai Jinze wanted to sit at a table with children, it's unlikely he could manage it.

On the road, he drove alone, his face somewhat dark.

The remnants of the typhoon pounded on the car windows, banging loudly. Any notion of a 'summer sea breeze' was complete nonsense. There were barely any cars on the coastal road, and the sky drizzled with light rain.

Ahead of him was You Zijun's car, where at some point, Cui Ying had taken over the driver's seat. You Zijun sat in the back, tightly gripping the interior handle.

The roadside next to the coastal road was a cliff, beyond which the murky sea looked like muddy water, with waves surging over one another. It looked nothing like its usual sunny and gentle character.

Idiot! Bai Jinze cursed inwardly, then glanced back at the car behind him.

There was Xu Qingyan, one hand propping his head up against the car window, the other leisurely maneuvering the steering wheel, driving unhurriedly behind them.

His unflappable demeanor was even more nauseating to behold.

Bai Jinze couldn't understand why even a major trending topic hadn't brought Xu Qingyan down. The production team had been so resolute and quick to deal with Chen Feiyu.

But when it came to Xu Qingyan... Could it be he had bribed the production team?

It didn't seem likely; the poor guy was worth no more than five hundred in total. He showed up to the romance reality show dressed so shabbily, one could hardly imagine just how broke he was!

The production team wasn't begging for scraps; they wouldn't cover for him for a paltry bribe.

Chen Feiyu had it coming and Xu Qingyan was a bit more complex. But that group had assured they could stink him up without leaving any evidence. They were also useless, taking money without doing the job.

It was supposed to be a win-win solution, dealing with Xu Qingyan and getting on Ji Chen's good side. But Xu Qingyan was still fine, and that bitch Nian Shuyu actually chose Liu Renzhi. .net

With a tight grip on the steering wheel, Bai Jinze gritted his teeth and thought to himself that it might have been better to have been eliminated today!

....

"Great! The heat from last night's post has completely died down." Shen Jinyue patted her chest, put down her phone, and with a face full of joy, turned to look at the driver's seat.

"I know." His response was lukewarm.

"Xu Qingyan, how come you're not happy at all?" Shen Jinyue crossed her arms, discontentedly saying, "I was so worried about you last night, and you're even calmer than me!"

"There was nothing wrong with me in the first place. I didn't do anything; the innocent are naturally innocent." He appeared nonchalant, his gaze fixed on Bai Jinze's car ahead as if he had thought of something.

If he got into trouble, surely it would all be Ji Chen's damned fault.

Chen Feiyu's rapid downfall was mysterious, even for a scumbag. No matter whether he was right or wrong, even if his downfall was warranted, it wouldn't happen so quickly. He should have been able to last the seven days.

But strangely, on the fifth day, when Chen Feiyu and Nian Shuyu's CP traffic was at its peak, it inexplicably collapsed.

He still remembered Nian Shuyu's odd reaction back then, as if she had received the news before Chen Feiyu's downfall, which was really strange.

Why did Nian Shuyu know the news before even the production team and even reacted beforehand?

There could only be one explanation... there was an insider!

You Zijun, though wealthy, was not an idiot, nor was he likely to do something so foolish. Having money is one thing, avenging himself is understandable, but targeting Chen Feiyu made no sense at all.

Liu Renzhi didn't have the money, at most he could beat up Chen Feiyu.

The one who leaked the news had to be a professional team, posting, buying hot searches, and hiring water armies all in one go. Without the right connections, even with money, it would be impossible to reach such a team.

Eliminating all possibilities, only one remained.

Bai Jinze, that bastard, really deserved to die.

Inside the car.

Suddenly, he spoke up, "Who do you think is the Money Hunter in tonight's vote?"

Shen: "....."

Pei: "....."

Lin: "......"

The three women were simultaneously speechless, their gazes all turning to Xu Qingyan at the same time, the silence in the car was deafening.

Xu Qingyan felt a bit awkward and coughed before saying.

"Why are all of you looking at me? Aren't we free to vote? If you think I'm the Money Hunter, feel free to vote for me. The most important thing is to ensure fairness."

The silence of the three women in the car once again hung in the air, unsure of whom he was secretly planning to harm this time.

Pei Muchan didn't want to bother with him and played with her phone with her head down, planning to follow Xu Qingyan's lead in voting when the time came. Shen Jinyue opened her mouth wide, her face one of shock, as if she had discovered some secret.

"Who do you think it is?" Lin Wanzhou humored him, willing to go along with the act.

Xu Qingyan secretly praised the up-and-coming little empress for her thoughtfulness and pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "I find Bai Jinze quite suspicious, always trying to isolate us."

Lin Wanzhou was momentarily at a loss for words, realizing she may have underestimated Xu Qingyan's ability to stir things up without a trace.

It was like a revelation, cutting right to the chase.

"Bai Jinze is unsociable, always liking to go it alone, not like a Love Hunter," he said earnestly. "I'll vote for him. He's most likely the Money Hunter."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Qingyan's shameless maneuver even rendered the live comments silent.

About twenty minutes later, the crew arrived at the ice skating rink without incident.
