You Zijun looked at Shen Jinyue and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After all, they had been partners for two days, acting like scampering sea monkeys on the beach, sharing hardships. Plus, after what happened to Shen Jinyue, she probably wasn't a gold digger, right?
After hesitating for a moment, he walked toward Shen Jinyue.
"I think...."
Shen Jinyue had been somewhat off ever since Xu Qingyan and Pei Muchan left, not because of any particular emotion, but because she realized it was truly time to part ways.
She looked up blankly, only to see You Zijun had approached her at some point. He clearly was speaking, but all she could hear was a buzzing sound.
She hadn't caught the first word, only the last few words, a couple?
"Sorry." She shook her head, her mood downcast.
"...No problem." You Zijun scratched his head, feeling awkward, and had no choice but to turn and leave.
The barrage of live comments watched the whole scene, and seeing him get rejected, they immediately started flooding the screen with laughter.
"Don't even think about stealing my moon! My moon, my moon!!"
"Oh!! He actually didn't choose Cui Ying. Men are indeed fickle, so terrifying."
"Damn it, don't attack as a group!"
Back in his original spot, he looked up at the camera and when he realized what he'd just done in front of the lens, he wanted to slap himself.
He was so preoccupied with weighing his options that he hadn't considered how it would feel to be rejected.
Now he had really backed himself into a corner.
As time ticked away, You Zijun broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't delay any longer, he had to go back to Cui Ying, but he had approached Shen Jinyue first.
Cui Ying would have to be crazy to accept his invitation now, and even if she agreed to go out with him and exchange identity cards, he would probably lose.
In the end, You Zijun couldn't withstand the pressure.
Even though he anticipated a massive backlash, he still turned around and returned to Cui Ying's side, his face etched with embarrassment.
"What's the matter? You look surprised?" Pei Muchan promptly opened her own identity box, pinched out a gold card, and yes, it was a gold digger's.
"That's not what you told me before; didn't you say you were a love hunter?" Xu Qingyan played with the identity gold card that belonged to Pei Muchan, tossing it into the air.
"Didn't you know that pretty women are the most deceitful?" Pei Muchan laughed, with the Xia Feng gently blowing behind her.
"Yes." Xu Qingyan laughed nonstop, looking at the card again, "Damn, you really are a gold digger, I've lost a million, you hid it so well!"
"Why did you look again?"
"Just to make sure, in case I saw it wrong. If you were a love hunter, I'd have a million." Xu Qingyan finished speaking and couldn't help but laugh.
"How does it feel to lose a million? Heartbreaking?" Pei Muchan covered her mouth to laugh, trembling slightly, not knowing why, she just wanted to laugh.
Her eyes were as relaxed as willow branches in March, laughing so hard that she shook like flowers on a branch.
"I won't be able to sleep tonight," he said.
"If you can't sleep, you can call me, I can comfort you," Pei Muchan joked, "Too bad there's not a million dollars, truly a pity."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
The barrage rolled in waves, with those betting on Xu Qingyan and expecting a last-minute twist sitting down to eat with dogs. Those who gambled that Pei Muchan was a love hunter also lost miserably.
"What a great pairing, the first money couple!"
"Don't ship everything, it'll only hurt you."
"I feel like Xu Dog knew early on that Sister Pei was a gold digger, it's over, I must be crazy. Xu Dog is so stingy, how could he give up a million for Sister Pei!"
"Xu Dog's acting is too exaggerated, I suspect he already knew Sister Pei was a gold digger. Could it be real, cry dead, a million for a celebrity girlfriend!"
"I don't think so, don't ship everything. Xu Dog was still in pain this morning for spending six yuan on soy milk. That dead broke guy, how could he possibly give up a million."
Xu Qingyan had no idea that the live comments were arguing about his identity, and although he indeed had guessed Pei Muchan's identity as a gold digger, he didn't care.
As for Pei Muchan, she had figured out he was related to the show's crew the last time they were in the room together.
He could avoid the cameras, but he couldn't avoid the gaze coming from beside him, having spent six full days together. Pei Muchan wasn't foolish and naturally could sense something was off.
