Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

As for why the two of them laughed, they simply found such a form quite amusing. They already knew everything there was to know about each other, but still pretended like the emperor's new clothes, acting as if they were oblivious.

Ambiguity is also an emperor's new clothes, visible only to those who have a mutual affection.

Children speak bluntly, while adults are deep in their secretiveness.

On the other side, Nian Shuyu and Liu Renzhi exchanged identity tags, and as it turned out, both were Love Hunters. When their identities were revealed, everyone behind the cameras cheered, celebrating the birth of the first romantic couple!

The celebrity observation room stood up as one, everyone going crazy for this moment. Nian Shuyu had gone through too much over the past six or seven days, from making choices to being abandoned, and finally finding mutual redemption with Chen Feiyu.

Only to turn around and discover that Chen Feiyu was also a scoundrel, her shattered heart once again breaking into pieces. It was precisely at this moment that Nian Shuyu boldly and bravely chose Liu Renzhi.

Lovers eventually become family, which should have been a joyous occasion. Yet her expression became somewhat stiff at that moment, she glanced at Liu Renzhi and forced a smile.

You Zijun nervously opened Cui Ying's identity box, took a glance, snapped it shut, and then looked again. In an instant, You Zijun's smile was uglier than tears.

He was a Love Hunter, while Cui Ying was a Money Hunter.

Cui Ying looked bored; she couldn't get the money anyway, having signed a labor contract. At best, she'd get a substantial bonus, but one million was out of the question.

Once, someone had one million but the money went to someone else.

The last to reveal their identities in the living room were Lin Wanzhou and Shen Jinyue, both holding Love Hunter cards. When the netizens saw this, they immediately realized something.

"If Qingyan had chosen Zhouzhou or Moon to form a couple, wouldn't they have won the one million?"

"Holy shit, that seems to be true!"

The live comments turned into a chaotic mess, while Xu Qingyan found an excuse to go back to his room to catch up on sleep.

The reality TV show actually ended at this moment, only the people in the studio were still replaying various videos and making comments, the guests' emotions complex.

Xu Qingyan was only tired and wanted to grab the time to get a good sleep and then pack up to leave the island.

During these seven days, he had been tightly wound up inside.

One million, one million!

Various problems had arisen in the meantime, almost bringing him to the verge of being kicked off the show. It all relied on step by step, whether by coincidence or through strategizing.

Anyway, it was all over now.

Everything that existed on this island would reset from the moment he woke up. The colorful bubbles burst, and everyone had to face a real world.

He was going home to treat his mother's illness and to fix up his old house. The worst illness in life is poverty.

Fortunately, he was not helpless. The one million he had earned, after taxes. Even covering all the medical expenses, and deducting the cost of convalescence, he would still have some left over.

He really could buy a lot and lot of spareribs and fish, and eat them with his mother.

....

Pei Muchan returned to her room with the curtains tightly drawn, collapsing onto the bed with a bang, the light around her dim.

Her palms hovered vacantly over her eyes, as if her heart too had plummeted into the gloom of the room. The carefree days were over, all too suddenly.

The thought of the studio, along with other troubles, the overwhelming comments and pressure online, made her head start to throb again, as she instinctively wanted to hide.

Fate is a cruel thing, she found that when you try to do something earnestly, you are met with all kinds of resistance.

She opened her eyes, staring at the dim ceiling, and murmured.

"Why won't it let me go?"

When it comes to singing, the earlier you start, the better. She entered the industry at eighteen, madly in love with composing, fond of singing, brimming with endless creativity.

After signing with Starlight Entertainment, her first song was a hit. At twenty, her first album sold out overnight, and she achieved fame and glory at a young age.

But nightmares followed, and at that time she didn't know Ji Chen. It wasn't until later that she discovered their parents knew each other and were on good terms.

Back then, Ji Chen was still normal, he hadn't made it big yet. Whereas, Pei Muchan was hugely successful, releasing albums back to back, each one a bestseller.

However, this brief period of glory faded quickly with Ji Chen's sudden rise to fame. He seemed to become a different person. On one hand, leading a life of debauchery, on the other, feigning deep affection, wanting to date her.

He even persuaded his parents to try to bring him and Pei Muchan together.

When she refused, Ji Chen would not stop harassing her endlessly. On the surface, he pursued her, but behind the scenes, he encouraged his mindless fans to strike against her career.

He was like a split-personality freak, acting innocent in front of both parents, while behind their backs he made countless calls, speaking affectionately, playing the role of the distressed lover—at midnight, at dawn, the phone ringing would creep out from every nook and cranny.

If it hadn't been for the explosive success of Xi Liang band, she wouldn't have had time to care about personal matters. Pei Muchan even suspected Ji Chen would stubbornly follow her, pestering her incessantly until death.

At first, their parents took this matter seriously and specifically went to talk to Ji Family's parents about it.

The other side apologized, admitting negligence in disciplining Ji Chen, and thus bowed their heads a few times. Perhaps thinking the young man's pursuit wasn't too excessive, and being acquaintances didn't want to lose face, so it eventually came to nothing.

And she became more and more reclusive, unwilling to make contact with people, and during her lowest times, even reluctant to leave the house.

Maybe for fangirls, being entangled with a top celebrity is romantic. But for Pei Muchan, she was extremely fearful of Ji Chen's two-faced nature.

His day-in, day-out harassment made her feel terrified. With her career on a downward slide and her spirit languishing, her body was worn out.

Even though she spent money to terminate her contract with Xingchen Entertainment, even though she started a studio, even with thoughts of starting over, she failed time and again.

In the dim room,

Pei Muchan lay on her side on the bed, took out her phone, and scrolled down until she reached Xu Qingyan's name and stopped.

The screen's light shone on her pale skin, her eyes clear as mountain spring water, subtly flickering.

In that moment, she didn't know what to send. Feeling greatly oppressed, she instinctively wanted to reach out to him but didn't know what to say. She was resigned yet unwilling, desperate yet afraid to speak out.

In the end, she sent a smiling emoji. Watching the screen slowly dim until the light was extinguished bit by bit in the dark room.

Suddenly, a 'ding-dong' sounded, the phone screen abruptly lit up.

A voice message popped up unexpectedly, the light from the screen reflecting on her face, tears she did not realize had fallen lingered in her eyes.

She lightly touched the corner of her eye with her finger and quickly opened the voice message. Xu Qingyan's tone was the same, his voice hoarse, he sounded very sleepy from the start but still attentive.

"What's up? I just woke up."

"It's nothing." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, tapped out a message in the chat saying she was feeling a bit down, and then quickly deleted it, "When are you leaving?"

"Not for a while, there's no rush, I've heard lunch might be on the table."

The moment she saw the message, Pei Muchan couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself that maybe she should also stay. But for some inexplicable reason, what she sent turned out to be…

"Oh, what about Lin Wanzhou?"

"Something seems to have come up on her end, lunch is uncertain... she might need to rush back to deal with it." As soon as Xu Qingyan sent his message, a sudden video call popped up.

Pei Muchan was startled, sitting straight up in bed in an instant, rapidly wiping her face. She initially didn't want to answer, but thinking that he might have an emergency, after some hesitation, she answered the call.

"Where are you? Why is it so dark there?"

"In my room." As soon as she spoke, with a noticeable rasp after choking back tears, she was startled by her own voice and quickly covered her mouth.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Why are you hiding in your room crying?" Xu Qingyan's voice was bantering, like a breeze through a mountain pass, chilling to the bone.

"Can't bear the thought of me leaving, or what? I know I'm charming, but you don't have to act like Shen Jinyue. I'm telling you, her eyes were all swollen from crying."

Hearing this, Pei Muchan's mouth twitched into an involuntary smile as she replied.

"Pfft! I wasn't crying."
