Chapter 144: Don't Like Her, Please

"Ah, I understand! I noticed in the first season that they looked alike, both the kind that can make me swoon just by looking at them, I even dreamt that they would be on a show together!"

"But at that time, I felt like my wish was just a dream, after all, Shen Jinghe doesn't usually like to appear on variety shows. I didn't expect that the show's team would actually invite Shen Jinghe."

"I want to know what conditions the show's team has offered to get both of them to appear, what could it be? Show's team, enlighten me, I'll see if I can dream up this condition in my dreams!!"

What conditions are they talking about? The director couldn't help but wonder.

Would you believe me if I said this is something Shen Jinghe himself wanted to participate in?

Truth be told, when Shen Jinghe's team contacted him to participate in this program as a "newbie," he also felt like he was dreaming.

As a "newbie" on this program, Shen Jinghe, just like Jiang Wanniang, actively greeted every "senior" when they arrived.

Due to standing positions, Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan were last in line.

When Shen Jinghe shook hands with Jiang Wanniang, Wen Yan was shaking her head in disbelief.

‘Don't fall in love at first sight with her! Please, Shen Jinghe.’

Shen Jinghe: "???"

What's this about? Fall in love with whom? Is it the female guest in front of him?

Confused, Shen Jinghe couldn't help but glance again at Jiang Wanniang.

Meanwhile, Wen Yan's inner thoughts were, ‘Don't look at her, don't like her, don't do it!’

"......" What's going on?

Shen Jinghe felt a sudden, desperate urge to walk over and literally shake the nonsense out of Wen Yan’s head.

He was so distracted that his greeting to Yin Haoyu, who was standing beside Jiang Wanwan, was completely half-hearted; his only goal was to reach Wen Yan as fast as possible.

But then, in the next heartbeat, something happened that left him utterly shaken!

He suddenly realized that after moving away from that female guest, the dopamine in his system seemed to flare up. A strange surge of excitement hit him, a restless urge to turn back and steal another glance at her.

But this was absurd!

His mind knew perfectly well that he felt nothing special toward her, yet his body seemed to have a mind of its own.

It was madness.

Suppressing that involuntary physiological pull, Shen Jinghe quickened his pace until he stood before Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan. Because of this bizarre little episode, his brow was deeply furrowed as he approached.

Shen Jingchuan, seeing his stern expression, furrowed his brows even more.

Seeing their expressions, Wen Yan took the initiative to greet Shen Jinghe.

"Hello, Teacher Shen, we meet again!"

"Yes, it's been a while." Shen Jinghe looked at Wen Yan strangely.

It was his first time seeing that female guest, Jiang Wanniang, it seemed.

Why on earth is Wen Yan’s inner voice so insistent that I shouldn't fall for her at first sight? Does she have some kind of premonition?

Seeing that Shen Jinghe was silent for a few seconds, Wen Yan spoke again.

"Teacher Shen, this is Alex."

Shen Jinghe then reached out his hand to Shen Jingchuan. "Hello, Alex, I'm Shen Jinghe."

"I know."

Shen Jingchuan rolled his eyes internally. If you don't want to greet me, then don't. Why act like it's such a chore?

Ignoring the offered hand entirely, he turned his back on Shen Jinghe to address the crew., "Director, now that everyone's here, can we depart?"

Barrage: "What's going on, why is Alex so rude, he didn't even shake hands with Shen Jinghe."

"Well... didn't you see? Shen Jinghe didn't seem willing to greet Alex from the start, it was Wen Yan who reminded him."

"No, how do you know he didn't want to greet? I think he just seemed lost in thought."

"Lost in thought? Haha, was he lost in thought in front of the camera? How come he's the only one lost in thought while nobody else is?"

"Stop arguing, why do I feel like this is scripted? The show's team must have known how much everyone wanted these two to be together on the show, and with Min Xiaxia leaving, the show didn't have any highlights. So, the show's team intentionally did this, to make the show more sensational."

"They do look quite alike. Watching these two top-tier beauties have a battle, don't you find it exciting and stimulating?"

"You truly understand the show's team."

"You understand beauty standards."

The director: "........" Unjust! Except for the pre-established rules, every specific content related to the guests on this show, from recording to now, wasn’t scripted at all.

Min Xiaxia, the cunning one from the first season, and Shen Jinghe, the top star in the second season, neither was expected by him.

But what the netizens said is right, at the beginning, the show had a spark!!!

The show's team didn't linger at the airport for long, and soon, the eight guests boarded the helicopter to their destination.

Wen Yan was placed in the same helicopter as Xu He.

Because of the loud noise, no one could, or wanted to, communicate, so Wen Yan was lost in deep thought.

She felt that although her arrival had changed the plot, the force of the plot in this world still existed.

For instance, although the original book briefly mentioned the Shen family’s "Real vs. Fake Daughter" plotline, the real Shen Zhirou never actually appeared, even after Wen Yan and the Shens teamed up to take down the imposter. As it turned out, the original book hadn't touched upon the existence of a fake Shen Zhirou at all.

Today, Jiang Wanniang appeared with Shen Jinghe, although it was not mentioned in the original book.

Coincidentally, in the conversation she had with Su Yang before setting off, Su Yang happened to ask whether Shen Jinghe had someone he liked.

Then, the next day, Jiang Wanniang appeared in front of Shen Jinghe.

When she saw Jiang Wanniang, she had never imagined that Shen Jinghe would also participate in this program.

Could the power of this plot really be so strong? Wen Yan didn't believe it.

Thirty minutes later, the helicopter landed on a flat area covered with dry grass.

When the guests and the audience in the live broadcast saw the scene, they fell silent.

"Where's the snow mountain? I even wore my down jacket, and you show me this?"

"It's a good thing watching the live broadcast doesn't require buying VIP, otherwise the show's team would have to refund me."

Jing Hao also asked, "Where's the snow, director?"

The director smiled and gestured for everyone to calm down, "Don't worry, don't worry. In three days, it'll enter the snow season here, and then you'll probably miss the current weather. Let me announce the rules for this season first, starting with the grouping. You already know about it."

"How are we grouped?" Xu He asked, "I remember at the end of Season One, you asked if we wanted to choose for ourselves. Is it based on our own preference this time?"

"No, no! That's too subjective, and relatively unfair. So this time, we're using a lottery. I have a box here with eight small balls."

"These eight small balls are divided into four red balls and four white balls, numbered as Red Ball 1 to 4, and the white balls have no numbers. The guests who draw red balls have the right to choose. The one who draws the white balls does not, they can only wait to be chosen, or automatically pair up after being leftover."

"Wait, 'left over'?" Wen Yan spoke up. "So, theoretically, a red-ball holder could pick someone else who also held a red ball? If that’s the case, then one of the white-ball guests is guaranteed to end up as a 'leftover' without a pair."

"Yes, that's what it means!" The director couldn't help but give Wen Yan a thumbs up, "When we first established this rule, some staff complained that it was complicated and not easy to understand, but you get it after hearing it once!"

Barrage: 'Gosh, how is it that watching a variety show feels like an insult to my intelligence, my brain can't wrap around this.'
