[Shen Ke has had excellent resources since her debut; I've heard her family is wealthy and powerful, with many connections.]
[Pshaw, this is a dating reality show, not a competition based on who has the most money. I think the third male lead is just so-so towards Shen Ke.]
[It's not certain whether the third male lead likes boys or not.]
This dinner was quite different from the first meal recorded for the show. For example, Wen Ai and Qi Yu were close, Qiao Yi liked to chat with Bai Xinyu, and Huang Shan and Shen Ke sat together around Ling Shuangjiang, and the pairing of them was about to become apparent.
Soon, viewers noticed that Xie Wang was not in the shot.
"Ah Jiang, quickly try the shredded pork with green peppers and see how it tastes." Shen Ke made no attempt to hide her enthusiasm for Ling Shuangjiang, her eyes never leaving him.
Ling Shuangjiang looked into the distance and said to Shen Ke, "Thank you. You guys eat first. I'll go check over there."
Shen Ke looked in the direction Ling Shuangjiang had gone and saw Xie Wang working with the production crew not far away.
"What are you busy with?" Ling Shuangjiang walked to Xie Wang's side and gently squatted down: "Do you need any help?"
The director, embarrassed, said, "There's a problem with the game props for tomorrow. We're asking Mr. Xie—" Realizing he'd misspoke, the director quickly stopped himself, "We're wondering whether to remove them. Luckily, Lou is here, so we asked him for help."
"Let me help you." Ling Shuangjiang offered to help Xie Wang, looking up with a gentle smile: "You've all worked hard, still busy so late."
The director scratched his head: "It's not hard work, it's what we should do. On the contrary, you two are the ones who have to help us when it's time to eat."
"Alright." Xie Wang worked quickly, finishing in twenty minutes. He examined the game props: "But I think there's a safety hazard. You'd better hire a worker tonight to reinforce it with professional equipment."
The director nodded: "Okay, you guys go and record it now."
On the way back, Xie Wang casually asked, "Did you come to see me for something?"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to call you for dinner."
Noticing that everyone nearby had already started eating, and only Ling Shuangjiang was waiting for him, Xie Wang suddenly understood.
He silently watched Ling Shuangjiang, feeling inexplicably moved.
They were just strangers.
Although, the two had a fairly good relationship.
So he joked, "Is Little Frost worried that I'll go hungry?"
The name "Minor Frost's Descent" is somewhat ambiguous.
However, seeing that Xie Wang's expression was completely normal, Ling Shuangjiang didn't think much of it and tilted her head with a light laugh: "Where am I small?"
Xie Wang: "Young."
Ling Shuangjiang raised an eyebrow slightly: "22 is actually not young."
Xie Wang: "Perhaps it's because of childhood nostalgia, but I always feel that you are still the little bean from the movie."
Xiao Dou Dou is Ling Shuangjiang's nickname in the movie. Ling Shuangjiang chuckled softly, "Oh? I see."
When the two returned to the table, the evening's special dish, "sea crab," was no longer available.
To highlight the contrast between the estate and the beach, the ingredients served at each meal on the beach are not too plentiful or of high quality.
Just like today, apart from some vegetarian dishes, the few sea crabs were a generous gift from the production team.
Huang Shan was the first to notice that the crab plate was empty, and awkwardly whispered to the production crew, "There aren't enough drunken crabs for everyone, could you give us some more?"
The production team shook their heads: "No."
[Wow, it's all vegetarian food now.]
[At least one for each person, right?]
[It seems that everyone received a maximum of one, with Chyi Yu and Wen Ai each receiving half, and that's how it was divided.]
[Um...it's okay, at least the two of them had a very luxurious meal at the manor.]
Xie Wang glanced at the empty plate of drunken crabs but said nothing.
The atmosphere during the meal was fairly pleasant.
The other guests remained curious about Xie Wang. After all, after spending the whole day together yesterday, Qi Yu had gotten to know everyone, and only Xie Wang remained somewhat mysterious.
The common impression of Qi Yu is that he is a gentle and refined young nobleman, while Xie Wang is probably described as a cool and arrogant guy.
Huang Shan then asked, "Lou, what aspects of your work are you involved in?"
Xie Wang replied: "Finance."
Qi Yu naturally knew Xie Wang's identity. After all, if it was a choice between two billionaires, it would definitely be Xie Wang. So when the topic of work came up, Qi Yu became curious.
Huang Shan then asked, "So what type of girl or boy do you like?"
The reason for asking the last half-question might be related to Xie Wang's choice of Ling Shuangjiang as his first choice of a guest he was interested in.
Although no one said it out loud, everyone suspected that Xie Wang actually liked boys.
Xie Wang said seriously, "I don't like boys, I like gentle girls."
"A gentle girl?" Ling Shuangjiang silently repeated in her heart, nodding in agreement. After all, when facing a boyfriend like Xie Wang, it's best to be gentle and patient.
Huang Shan laughed: "I feel like you guys all like gentle girls."
[The third male lead is also very gentle.]
[Sigh, my favorite couple's story ended badly.]
[So why choose the third male lead for the date?]
[Is it because the fourth male candidate is just there to slack off that they chose a guy? At the moment, this is the only explanation that makes sense.]
—
After dinner, the director instructed: "After dinner, everyone can write letters to the other guests and put them in the mailbox with everyone's names on it in the back of the RV before 10 o'clock."
This segment has always been the most interesting for viewers of dating reality shows. After finishing their meal, the guests tacitly returned to their RVs and began writing letters.
Before leaving, Xie Wang glanced at Ling Shuangjiang's bowl and noticed that he had only eaten a little. While writing the letter in the car, he had a few questions, so he went to ask the production crew what the letter meant and what it represented.
The production team told him that he could write down what he wanted to say to the other guests.
Xie Wang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Inside the RV, Ling Shuangjiang didn't plan to write for the other guests for the time being, so she decided to close the curtains and take a shower first.
Before taking a shower, he tidied up the RV because he hadn't slept there the night before and it would get dusty. He's a clean freak, so he had to make sure it was clean.
It was already very late when he finished showering and drying his hair.
He opened the curtains and saw that the other people outside the car had begun to check their mailboxes.
Wen Nuan was the most enthusiastic. After opening her mailbox, she saw a letter signed by Qi Yu, and her joy was palpable.
After she left, Joey arrived, and she also brought a letter, this time from Bai Xinyu.
When it was Shen Ke and Huang Shan's turn, they both opened their mailboxes at the same time, only to find them empty.
[Currently, it appears there are two couples, both exchanging gifts.]
[Neither Shen Ke nor Huang Shan are there?]
[So...to whom did these two give their letters?]
At this moment, Xie Wang walked over, and the audience immediately held their breath, wishing they could jump into the screen to see the letter he received.
The cabinet door opened, revealing a letter inside.
Xie Wang was puzzled. He gently opened the letter, which was signed: Huang Shan.
[Wow, he's not the third male lead!]
[So, does this mean the third male lead has two letters in his closet?]
[Not necessarily. It's also possible that neither the fourth nor the third male lead wrote a letter expressing their feelings.]
Upon receiving the letter from Huang Shan, Xie Wang remained calm. The letter read: "You look very handsome in your black shirt."
When Xie Wang looked up, his deep eyes were directly facing the camera. Because he had just taken a shower, his black hair covered his forehead, making his features much softer.
In the darkness, he murmured, "What she said was quite reasonable."
[I can't imagine that such a handsome person has such a mouth.]
[The fourth male lead is really handsome... but he's also really a jerk.]
[I can't wait to see the third male lead's email address.]
The audience waited a long time before Ling Shuangjiang finally arrived.
He was wearing a white nightgown, and as he turned his back to take the letter, the sea breeze blew through his cotton shirt, outlining his slender waist.
He received two emails, one from Xie Wang and the other from Shen Ke.
Facing the camera, Ling Shuangjiang opened them one by one.
Shen Ke's envelope was a little special because it contained not only a letter but also a piece of candy.
The letter read: I know you like sweets, so I'm sending these to you.
[Shen Ke is so good at this!!]
[Shen Ke's fans, I bet your idol will have a boyfriend by the time the dating reality show ends.]
[So, Shen Ke is gay?]
[Isn't his hot on-screen couple pairing with the female lead in the TV series just a marketing ploy?]
[They don't care about him, they only care about the contents of the letter that the fourth male lead wrote to the third male lead.]
Despite Shen Ke's thoughtfulness, Ling Shuangjiang's expression remained unchanged; she simply smiled faintly and then opened the second letter from Xie Wang.
Upon seeing the letter, his expression took on a somewhat intriguing quality.
The letter read: If you are not asleep, come knock on my RV door at 11 p.m.
Originally, the live broadcast could have ended here.
But upon seeing Xie Wang's letter, not only the audience but also all the staff members of the program team were in an uproar.
Ling Shuangjiang smiled faintly, a smile that was hard to describe, and muttered to herself, "He might take me to lift dumbbells."
How about trying swimming for fitness?
[What a pity, the fourth male lead doesn't like guys, sob sob! If he did, I would definitely ship them!]
