Why Shen Jinyue joined the dating reality show, she herself didn't even know.
Perhaps it was because she'd stayed cooped up in her tiny apartment for too long, or perhaps it was the desire to come out and take a breath of fresh air. Even if it was a momentary lapse of judgment, motivated by the photo in Lin Wanzhou's phone that appeared there by coincidence...
There were various reasons, none of which had to do with that studio.
If funds were tight and the studio couldn't keep running, then so be it. If her state was declining and couldn't be salvaged, she wouldn't seek salvation; at worst, she would stop singing and consider marriage when she turned thirty.
Life is full of obstacles, she would just lie down wherever she fell.
"My initial intention of joining the dating show had nothing to do with the studio... Maybe it was to change my state of life," Pei Muchan said with a smile on her face, uttering a platitude.
When you're out and about, you meet nasty people and speak their language; when you meet dumbasses, you can only tell some lies.
She had learned this from someone.
That someone was currently propping his head with his hand, leaning on the table lackadaisically, in a pose that screamed 'I am so tired right now'.
Perhaps realizing his arrogance, he retracted the yawn he was about to unleash just as the camera of the show's crew swept past him.
Seeing this, Pei Muchan couldn't help but purse her lips.
Next to ask a question was Liu Renzhi; he asked Song Enya a bland question. Song Enya responded smoothly, even managing to accentuate her persona.
When it was Song Enya's turn to ask, she chose Xu Qingyan and posed a question.
"Brother Xu, what was your last job?"
Xu Qingyan raised his eyelids to look at her and replied, "Getting paid to sit in jail."
"Hehe, Brother Xu, you're so funny." Song Enya's gaze was intense as she leaned forward, "But this is the Q&A session, so please tell us the truth, Brother Xu."
"Office job, the kind that pays a few thousand a month, but I got laid off recently," said Xu Qingyan, leaning back nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table, except for Pei Muchan, looked at him differently.
Was this an admission?
"Brother Xu, you..." Song Enya's smile froze. According to her script, Xu Qingyan would fabricate a lie, constructing a fake profession.
Like a teacher or something similar, a job with a stable income.
This way, she could extract herself from the predicament of attacking Pei Muchan and hold on to Xu Qingyan's lie as leverage for future voting.
Xu Qingyan reacted indifferently, with his arms crossed and leaning back in his chair.
And then, an explosive moment happened.
Liu Renzhi voted for Pei Muchan, Bai Jinze voted for Pei Muchan, and Song Enya's vote went to Pei Muchan. The audience was baffled, not knowing what was happening.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingyan didn't vote for Bai Jinze but instead struck back at Song Enya, directly stating that she switched men every day and was clearly here for the money.
It seemed to trigger a chain reaction, with Pei Muchan and Shen Jinyue also casting a vote for Song Enya.
The barrage was filled with question marks, WTFs dancing all over the screen, and the discussions exploded. Fans who were seriously analyzing earlier instantly became the jokers of the deck.
God damn it, this is supposed to be a money hunter vote. What we thought was a love-themed Werewolf game turned out to be a love-themed faction struggle!
On one side was the charming Queen Song Enya with her loyal dogs, and on the other was the little diva Pei Muchan with her close friends, not even hiding it, going head-to-head openly.
The audience was dumbfounded, their gaze shifting to Nian Shuyu and Chen Feiyu, who had yet to vote. Currently, Xu Qingyan had one vote, and Pei Muchan and Song Enya each had three.
Even if the last two votes both went to Xu Qingyan, it wouldn't help, but casting them on Song Enya or Pei Muchan would directly send one of them packing.
Forget the chat being a mess, even the people on scene were dumbstruck.
Song Enya never expected these three to turn their targets on her. The original plan was to join forces to vote out Pei Muchan and isolate Xu Qingyan.
Now... she quietly calmed her emotions, her gaze almost imperceptibly shifting towards Chen Feiyu. She had already discussed it with Chen Feiyu in advance, as long as he voted for Pei Muchan, she would...
"The money hunter I'm voting for is...." Suddenly, Chen Feiyu stood up, looking a bit pale. Under Song Enya's anxious gaze, he gritted his teeth and said.
"I vote for Xu Qingyan!"
Chen Feiyu's vote went to Xu Qingyan, effectively a wasted vote, leaving only Nian Shuyu's final vote.
The barrage was an utter chaos, leaving the audience numb.
"Damn, mom is asking why I'm kneeling to watch a romance show."
At that moment, Nian Shuyu stood up, and everyone's gaze was fixed on her. Song Enya looked at Nian Shuyu's expression, her face turning white instantly.
She heard, as if echoing in her ears, what she had told Nian Shuyu the day before, "Shuyu, we're just normal people. After this show, we won't have much popularity left."
"My vote goes to..."
"Song Enya."
