Xiao Shulang wrote about him, and he also wrote about Xiao Shulang.
Qin Shuang used only two sentences to describe the person who disrupted his heartbeat for the first time in more than twenty years.
"I saw someone write a poem with a smile in the morning sunlight—it was you."
Xiao Shulang's smile was the most beautiful impression in his mind.
A three-line love letter, though short on paper, conveys a deep affection.
Xiao Shulang held the letter in his hand, and this time the blush on his face and the roots of his ears was impossible to hide.
He struggled to control his facial expressions, repeatedly covering his face and eyes, turning away in embarrassment, and trying to reason with the cameraman:
"Wait, could you please stop filming me... Ah, really."
He masked his embarrassment with a smile, but his eyes shone with light. Such a great expression was not to be missed. Xiao Shulang made two "hmm" sounds and simply leaned on the table. The cameraman was also very good at it, and the lens was directly aimed at Xiao Shulang's slender fingers and the letter paper under his fingers.
The audience has already seen the contents of the letter once, now the camera focuses on it again.
Qin Shuang's calligraphy reflects her personality: strong and vigorous, with strokes as sharp as a knife, yet it conveys a sense of gentleness.
[I'm going crazy! Where am I? These two people! Ahhh!]
[My mom asked me why I was crying while watching TV QAQ!! My tears were flowing freely and were worthless, but they were sweet, so sweet!]
[I'll move the Civil Affairs Bureau here, I'll pay for the wedding gifts, let's get married right here!!]
Xiao Shulang lay on the table pretending to be dead, his fingertips still pressing on the letter, the sensation reaching deep into his heart.
Qin Shuang said my laughter was a poem in his eyes... I knew that although Qin Shuang didn't talk much, he was always very powerful. Even with the best mental preparation, I never thought that the power would be so great.
Qin Shuang's description is just too unfair.
Xiao Shulang, like an ostrich, finally lifted his head from his arms. Because he had been covering his face with his head, his fair face looked even redder. The camera moved away from the letter and focused on his face, giving everyone in front of the screen a brutal beauty bombardment.
I support them both, but that doesn't stop me from being captivated by my brother's stunning good looks!
He's so handsome! Qin Shuang, grab him quickly!
[They look so cute together, oh my god!]
Xiao Shulang calmed himself down for a while before opening the second letter—yes, he had received two.
The letter was simple: "I hope we can become friends through music someday. It would be wonderful to make friends through music."
It was Zhuo Cheng. This wasn't a love letter, it was more like a letter of friendship. Xiao Shulang finally recovered from his emotions and folded their letters back into the envelope.
After the live stream ended, Xiao Shulang didn't want to leave his room for a while. He was afraid of running into Qin Shuang and didn't know what expression to use to face her.
Tomorrow is the last day. After leaving the variety show, they won't be able to see each other every day anymore. What will their relationship become?
As Xiao Shulang was thinking, he noticed a message on his phone.
The owner of the pottery shop he visited in the previous program messaged him, informing him that his previous pottery pieces could be colored.
Xiao Shulang sculpted a rabbit, and Qin Shuang made a plate of it.
Looking at the message, Xiao Shulang thought to himself that things would work themselves out. He should focus on the present and let time tell how things would develop between him and Qin Shuang. There was no need to worry too much.
In the blink of an eye, it's already the last day of the Heartbeat Encounter program. By the way, last night the production team released the edited version from the day before yesterday. The part where Yin Xingzhi mentioned "domestic violence" was included in the program, and You Ziang's questioning followed. So all the viewers understood what everyone's attitude towards Yin Xingzhi was all about.
[I even supported him in bravely pursuing love before, but it turns out he's a complete liar.]
Oh, maybe he just wants to get the attention of the person he likes. It's just a little trick, no big deal.
I think there's a big problem with him; I'm definitely not going to sympathize with him anymore.
[I told you it was a tea bar, but you didn't believe me!]
Yin Xingzhi's reputation has also collapsed. The show is about to end, and he has finally failed to fool everyone. One wrong move and he has lost everything.
Today is the final selection day. Everyone got up very early this morning, and the live broadcast started early as well. Xiao Shulang and Qin Shuang made breakfast for everyone and put it on three large plates. Everyone could choose whichever they wanted to eat.
Last night, Yin Xingzhi saw the comments from the audience about him in the edited version and was furious. In the past, he would have pretended to be pitiful and left in this situation, but today he didn't leave. Since anyone can serve breakfast, he wanted to sit down and eat with the other guests.
Since things have come to this point, every bit of screen time he gets is a good thing. There are so many viewers; who knows, maybe someone will like his type?
Black and red are still red.
The staff member said, "The final selection will begin this afternoon. Both parties need to select each other to be successful. Each person only has one chance to choose. If you fail this time, you won't be paired with each other again."
"Those who are successfully paired up will receive a romantic dinner voucher from the production team. If you have anything else to say or anything you'd like to fight for, please hurry up and join us!"
Originally, this was the last chance to build up goodwill, but ever since Luo Tian was eliminated by revealing himself like a werewolf, the remaining targets were too obvious. Zhuo Cheng had no intention of getting involved, and as for Yin Xingzhi, no matter how much time he was given, he would never be able to build up enough goodwill.
Qin Shuang and Xiao Shulang absolutely must choose each other; if they don't, I'm going to make a scene!
[Don't worry, they'll definitely be fine. To be honest, I'm more curious about what Yin Xingzhi is going to do.]
The audience was initially more focused on teasing, but to their surprise, Yin Xingzhi actually stopped backing down on the last day and took the initiative to apologize to You Ziang.
“I probably wanted to talk to you and get your attention so much that I said some nonsense without thinking,” Yin Xingzhi apologized. “I’m sorry.”
His posture was very sincere, and You Ziang sighed.
【Ahhh, no, I still think it's fake, You Ziang, don't be fooled!】
I think it's possible. He's probably been isolated for a long time and desperately wants attention.
You Ziang: "It's okay, I don't mind."
Yin Xingzhi sniffed: "Thank you for forgiving me..."
"No, no, it's not a matter of forgiveness or not." You Ziang pondered for a moment, then emphasized his words, "What I mean is, I really don't care. After all, it doesn't concern me much. You... perhaps you understand?"
Yin Xingzhi bit his lip; he understood.
Because he didn't care, the little tricks he used were nothing to him, and there was no question of forgiveness.
After pretending to be pitiful for so long, he finally felt genuinely wronged. Yin Xingzhi lowered his head and said, "I understand."
He ran off quickly, and only after he was gone did Xu Baichang come over, seemingly just casually asking, "What did you two talk about?"
"He apologized for what he said before... wait," You Ziang blinked, "Are you jealous?"
Xu Baichang coughed lightly: "What are you talking about? I was just asking casually. I'm leaving."
He turned to leave, but You Zi'ang called out from behind him, "Wait!"
Xiao Shulang sat at the small table drinking tea, finding it amusing: "The smell of vinegar is about to waft over from over there."
Zhuo Cheng sat opposite him. The two had just been talking about music, purely about music, for almost half an hour.
Just as Zhuo Cheng was about to speak again, a voice suddenly came from above their heads: "Is it my turn?"
Turning my head, I saw Qin Shuang standing by the table.
He left the two of them to chat alone for half an hour, then placed a plate of snacks near Xiao Shulang, and glanced at Zhuo Cheng: "Teacher Zhuo?"
Zhuo Cheng suddenly stood up: "Teacher Qin, please! As for Teacher Xiao, let's continue our conversation about music another time."
The live chat was filled with "haha" comments.
[Xiao Shulang just said that Xu Baichang's jealousy is about to waft over, and I think Qin Shuang is quite jealous too.]
[Haha, could it be the vinegar Qin Shuang spilled that's smelling?]
To be honest, Xiao Shulang is still a little intimidated when he sees Qin Shuang now. Those three short sentences are still stuck in his mind and he can't get them out of his head. He can't help but think of them whenever he sees Qin Shuang.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even smile at Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang opened a bag of snacks for him and handed it to him. Xiao Shulang took it and ate it slowly. The two did not speak for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Qin Shuang refilled their cups with water, the sound of water slowly falling into the teacups. Qin Shuang simply said, "You don't need to be nervous."
"I...cough, I didn't."
Xiao Shulang subconsciously opened his mouth to cover up his words, and stuffed another handful of snacks into his mouth.
Qin Shuang smiled and said, "Is that so?"
Unlike the pixelated smiles of the past, this smile is much more pronounced and beautiful, making the audience cheer.
[I can see the doting, there's definitely doting!]
I agree! Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this way!
[You're not the only one who thinks this; I think so too!]
The production team gave everyone ample time and space to fully discuss their options before making their final choices; whether or not they can seize the opportunity is up to them.
When the afternoon arrived, the production team took the six guests to a room for individual filming.
Zhuo Cheng replied decisively, "I abstain."
Staff member: "Are you sure?"
Zhuo Cheng nodded: "I met some very nice guests, but I didn't feel like we were going to develop a romantic relationship. I hope we can be friends."
Staff member: "Okay, I sincerely hope that you will meet someone who makes your heart race in the future."
As for Yin Xingzhi, everyone thought he would also abstain, but unexpectedly he still chose You Ziang.
“I think if you want something, you should fight for it until the very last moment,” Yin Xingzhi raised his head. “I have done everything I should do, so I don’t want to have any regrets.”
To be honest, his posture was quite intimidating. Anyway, opinions about him in the comments were polarized, with most people disliking him.
As expected, Xiao Shulang and Qin Shuang, Xu Baichang and You Ziang chose each other.
The audience already knew the results were in, but the staff didn't rush to reveal the answer to the guests.
The program staff took the four people out separately at different times, put them in cars, and headed to their final date location.
Upon arrival at the location, the production team handed blindfolds to some of the participants, including Xiao Shulang.
"Is the person you're waiting for actually waiting for you? Please put on your blindfold and come with me!"
Xiao Shulang wasn't nervous at all, but when the blindfold was put on and his vision was plunged into complete darkness, his heartbeat amplified in his ears, and his nerves tightened inexplicably. It wasn't just because he couldn't see the road ahead in the darkness, but also because he became nervous about the choices he was making today.
That's unlikely... it'll probably fall through, right?
However, upon closer reflection, he still doesn't understand why Qin Shuang likes him.
If it's about her face, Qin Shuang is beautiful enough; it's impossible to be so superficial.
Objectively speaking, I do have some strengths, but overall I'm just an ordinary person with a somewhat eccentric personality. Why would Qin Shuang like me?
Because the show doesn't allow the use of the words "like" and "love," Qin Shuang's confession wasn't exactly a clear declaration. How long can his feelings for her last?
