[Lu Shaoheng mentioned in an interview that his ideal type is a gentle and quiet boy.]
[Wasn't Lu Shaoheng supposed to be in the audience? He actually came to the venue to participate in a dating reality show!]
[If Lu Shaoheng and his girlfriend really do find love, it will probably cause an earthquake in the entertainment industry.]
Lu Shaoheng received unprecedented treatment among the guests. While others arrived alone with their suitcases, he was personally driven to the live broadcast venue.
Lu Shaoheng won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor, one of the three major film awards, at the age of 18, and went abroad to study acting.
His first film after graduating from university, "The Lone Ranger," swept major film festivals, earning him two Best Actor awards and making him the youngest recipient of the triple crown of Golden Horse, Golden Rooster, and Golden Horse Awards.
In the entertainment industry, Lu Shaoheng has countless fans and is the number one fan in terms of fan power. After learning that he was coming to a dating reality show, the number of people watching his live stream suddenly increased by 5 million in just one hour.
"Hello everyone." Lu Shaoheng took off his sunglasses, put his suitcase into the RV, and said to everyone, "I hope it's not too late to join 'Love Signal' now."
Lu Shaoheng's appearance is said to be flawless from every angle; his handsome features remain perfect even when magnified infinitely on the big screen.
Huang Shan was too shy to look at Lu Shaoheng, while other guests like Qiao Yi and Cheng Jia were half fans of Lu Shaoheng and enthusiastically applauded to welcome him.
Lu Shaoheng is 185 cm tall, a little shorter than Xie Wang, but he has a good waist-to-body ratio, so he often serves as a model for the brands he endorses, and his demeanor and temperament are outstanding.
[To be honest, the guys with the best figures here are probably Actor Lu and President Xie.]
[I've seen President Xie's muscles, but I haven't seen Actor Lu's.]
They both enjoy working out and are in great shape.
At this moment, Lu Shaoheng walked to Xie Wang's side and extended his hand, saying, "President Xie, hello, it's been a long time."
Although Xie Wang couldn't remember when he had met Lu Shaoheng, he still politely extended his hand and said, "Hello."
Lu Shaoheng: "Please take care of me when recording programs in the future."
Xie Wang nodded: "Of course."
Ling Shuangjiang was positioned to Xie Wang's right. Lu Shaoheng walked over, bowed to him, and smiled, "Junior, do you still remember me?"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled in surprise: "Of course I remember."
Lu Shaoheng's smile deepened as he shook hands with him: "Let's talk again later."
Xie Wang's gaze fell on the hands that the two had been holding for ten seconds. His expression was no longer relaxed as before, and there was a hint of inquiry and tension between his brows.
After Lu Shaoheng left, he asked casually, "You two know each other?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "My senior, he lived in the same apartment building as me when we were abroad."
Xie Wang, with his hands in his pockets, asked, "Are you two very familiar with each other?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Not too familiar."
"Yes," Xie Wang said, "You did the right thing. Don't deal with unfamiliar people when you're abroad."
Ling Shuangjiang glanced at him, her expression intriguing.
The simple welcoming ceremony ended quickly, and the guests who successfully paired up in the morning went on their dates, while the remaining guests began to pair up freely.
Lu Shaoheng's addition won't have much impact on the female guests, since he prefers men. But even so, Huang Shan thinks it's great to be able to go out with her idol as friends.
Xie Wang and Ling Shuangjiang were seated under the shade of a coconut tree. Xie Wang glanced at Ling Shuangjiang, then at Lu Shaoheng, and noticed that the two were not sitting together. He casually picked up two economics books to pass the afternoon.
Fifteen minutes later, when he looked up to steal a glance at Ling Shuangjiang, he unexpectedly couldn't find her. He quickly got up and searched for a long time before finally finding Ling Shuangjiang under a secluded green parasol.
At the same time, Lu Shaoheng was sitting next to Ling Shuangjiang.
"Frost's Descent, you actually remember me?" Lu Shaoheng also liked light colors. He wore a loose-fitting light blue shirt, which made him look gentle and warm. "I thought that the school's most famous heartthrob wouldn't remember me."
Ling Shuangjiang casually brushed a stray hair from her ear, her eyes gentle as she faced the sea breeze: "Of course I remember. When I first enrolled, I lost my library card, and a senior student found it and returned it to me. Otherwise, the professor would have been very angry."
Lu Shaoheng opened a bottle of juice and handed it to Ling Shuangjiang, saying, "You actually still remember this."
[Wow, what an amazing combination!]
[These two are actually classmates?]
[Ahhh, I'm kind of shipping them.]
They have very similar temperaments; they are indeed a good match.
[I'm speechless. Lu Ge just arrived, why are you guys randomly pairing him up with other celebrities?]
[Why participate in a dating reality show if you're not going to create a romantic pairing? If you're so capable, why don't you just kick out that actor?]
From a distance, Xie Wang had been watching the two of them for a long time.
Especially when he saw Lu Shaoheng and Ling Shuangjiang smiling at each other, the book in his hand gradually became crumpled and wrinkled, and his mood inexplicably turned bad.
Huang Shan sat beside him, resting her chin on her hand, observing Xie Wang's displeased gaze, and muttered, "They seem to be having a good time. They haven't seen each other for years, so they must have a lot in common."
“There are tens of thousands of people in a university; they're just classmates.” Xie Wang leaned back in his folding chair. “Does Lu Shaoheng like girls?”
Huang Shan exclaimed, "No, Lu Shaoheng came out four years ago. He likes boys."
"You like boys?" Xie Wang's tone unconsciously rose, his grip on the armrest tightening, and he became restless. He pondered for a long time with one hand in his pocket, before finally getting up and walking towards the RV.
Now is not the time to dwell on how the two get along. Lu Shaoheng's gaze towards Ling Shuangjiang is clearly not right; he's probably up to something.
Ling Shuangjiang is so naive and easily deceived, so he has to stand up and protect her.
Huang Shan thought Xie Wang was planning to rest, so she called out to him, "Are you really not going to invite Shuangjiang for a date this afternoon? He wants to go to the cherry orchard."
Xie Wang stopped and said to Huang Shan, "Go."
But he has to change into a handsome outfit before he goes.
Xie Wang spent a long time browsing through his luggage in the RV. Finally, he chose an outfit that best accentuated his muscles and tall stature. Before leaving, he added a black diamond watch, tidied his hair, and found a stylish angle to step out of the vehicle.
Under the green umbrella, Ling Shuangjiang and Lu Shaoheng had already gotten up and were walking towards them.
The two chatted and laughed, and seemed to get along very well.
Xie Wang walked over and stood opposite Ling Shuangjiang and Lu Shaoheng. "What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a great time."
Lu Shaoheng: "I'm catching up with Shuangjiang."
Soon, Ling Shuangjiang noticed that Xie Wang had changed his clothes and asked him gently, "Are you getting ready to go out?"
Xie Wang denied it: "I'm not going out. My clothes smelled of sweat, and I'm uncomfortable wearing them."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded, glanced at Lu Shaoheng, and Lu Shaoheng said, "Then let's go."
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Xie Wang blocked Ling Shuangjiang's way, "You said this morning that you wanted to go to the cherry orchard, I'll go with you."
“I’ll go with Shuangjiang,” Lu Shaoheng said gently. “I haven’t seen Shuangjiang in a long time, and I want to chat with him more.”
[A battlefield of carnage! A battlefield of carnage!]
[Wow, is it a choice between two?]
[Didn't the fourth man say he didn't want to go out today?]
[Tsk tsk tsk, I think there's a subtle competition between President Xie and Actor Lu.]
The scene was somewhat quiet.
Ling Shuangjiang broke the silence, asking Xie Wang, "Didn't you say this morning that you didn't want to go out? You can take this opportunity to rest for a day."
“But I want to go with you.” Xie Wang frowned, stated his thoughts directly, and reached out his hand to him: “Let’s go, I’ll take you.”
Ling Shuangjiang hesitated for a moment as she looked at his hand, and Lu Shaoheng said, "President Xie, I'll go with Shuangjiang."
Hearing Lu Shaoheng say this, Xie Wang's expression was clearly displeased, and his tone was tinged with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Lu, you're new here and may not know the rules yet. These dating locations can only be visited if both parties agree."
Lu Shaoheng suddenly smiled and stared at Xie Wang meaningfully: "But Shuangjiang just agreed to go on a date with me."
Xie Wang's expression froze for a moment, and he slowly looked at Ling Shuangjiang.
Author's Note:
I'd like some nutrient solution~ I'll probably be posting a new chapter around midnight tomorrow.
Chapter 22 Jealousy
"You... chose him?" Xie Wang pursed his thin lips, unable to believe that Ling Shuangjiang had actually chosen someone else.
Ling Shuangjiang looked at him and said, "Yes, we didn't finish visiting the cherry orchard this morning. I'd like to go and see it again."
Xie Wang knew that Ling Shuangjiang wanted to go to the cherry orchard, but he did not agree to take her there.
"Hmm." He put one hand in his pocket, his tone deliberately casual: "Go early and come back early, be careful."
Lu Shaoheng smiled and said, "Thank you."
The two figures walked further and further away until they disappeared from sight.
Xie Wang lowered his head, casually kicking away a stone at his feet, his brows remaining furrowed for a long time.
[Sigh, my favorite couple got broken up.]
[Mr. Xie seemed somewhat disappointed.]
[Today's Frost's Descent hinted that the fourth male lead wanted to go to the cherry orchard. Whose fault is it that he didn't seize the opportunity?]
[Bye-bye, I'm going to see Shuangjiang and Lu Ge.]
[The Lu Ling CP can now raise the banner!]
On the way to the cherry orchard, the production crew provided the two with a private sightseeing vehicle. Lu Shaoheng and Ling Shuangjiang sat side by side in it, enjoying the scenery and chatting.
"Do you want to go to the South District or the North District this afternoon?" Lu Shaoheng held the map and analyzed carefully: "If we go to the North District first and then take a boat to the South District, we'll have just enough time to see both."
Ling Shuang replied in a cool voice, "Let's do as you say."
Lu Shaoheng folded the map and put it in his pocket. He turned to look at Ling Shuangjiang and said, "This is my first time participating in a dating reality show. I may not be very familiar with the specific format. If I do anything wrong, I hope you can tell me in time."
“No problem,” Ling Shuang replied. After a while, he asked again, “May I ask why you want to participate in the dating reality show?”
He knew Lu Shaoheng's status in the industry and knew that he wouldn't participate for the sake of traffic or announcements, so he was a little curious.
Lu Shaoheng lowered his head and smiled, "Because I want to be in a relationship. What if I can find a boyfriend in a dating reality show?"
[Actor Lu is truly a master; he speaks as if reciting lines, with such deep emotion.]
[Lu Shaoheng must be very good at dating.]
