Chapter 35

Xie Wang remained silent and did not participate in the conversation.

Shen Ke looked at Ling Shuangjiang and Lu Shaoheng, and asked with a smile, "Brother Lu, why did you want to come to this dating reality show this time?"

Lu Shaoheng's voice was gentle: "It's been a year since my last relationship ended. I want to start over and experience what it's like to be in love again."

Lu Shaoheng never hides his relationships and always openly admits them. Fans and people in the industry basically know about his ex-girlfriends, to the point that the media doesn't even care to report on them.

Chen Ying then asked, "Brother Lu, how many relationships have you had in total?"

Lu Shaoheng: "Five times, I guess."

Taking the opportunity, Wen Ai asked, "Are you all in the industry?"

Lu Shaoheng shook his head: "They talked about it in college."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wang raised his head, his brows furrowing slightly, and his gaze toward Lu Shaoheng became more inquisitive.

He thought about many things while waiting for Ling Shuangjiang at the entrance tonight. Ling Shuangjiang liked boys, and Lu Shaoheng also liked boys. If the two of them really wanted to be in a relationship, it was only natural. Even if he wanted to stop them, he had no legitimate reason.

However, judging from the current situation, Lu Shaoheng has a wealth of experience in relationships, with five ex-girlfriends on the surface. Only he himself knows how many casual relationships he has had.

Ling Shuangjiang has no dating experience and is so honest. If she really dated Lu Shaoheng, she would definitely be taken advantage of. Besides, they are both in the entertainment industry. Lu Shaoheng's fame is too great, and it's inevitable that Ling Shuangjiang would suffer.

Xie Wang's face was stern, and the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him grew increasingly heavy. Many guests noticed Xie Wang's change and curiously scrutinized both Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang.

Ling Shuangjiang looked up at this moment and met Xie Wang's indifferent expression. She asked in a low voice, "Who upset you?"

Xie Wang suppressed his anger: "No." He raised his hand as if to touch Ling Shuangjiang's head, but then quietly lowered it.

So much has happened in the last two days, and his mind is in a mess. He feels like something is messing things up between him and Ling Shuangjiang.

They used to have a very good relationship.

Xie Wang ate the meal feeling both depressed and worried, while Ling Shuangjiang, who was hungry, ate her fill.

Lu Shaoheng had disappeared without anyone noticing. While everyone was drinking and chatting, he suddenly reappeared on the beach, carrying a neatly trimmed and carefully arranged bouquet of flowers.

[Wow, who is Actor Lu going to give this to?]

[I think it's the Frost's Descent solar term.]

[No way, no way, Lu Yingdi really likes Frost's Descent that much?]

[Lu Shaoheng is as elegant as a prince!]

[Help! Lu Shaoheng is so good at this.]

As expected, Lu Shaoheng walked up to Ling Shuangjiang in front of everyone and held up the carefully arranged pale purple bougainvillea, sunflowers and cosmos: "I found a flower field across from the beach next door. I remembered that you like flowers and was afraid that you would feel regretful during the day, so I picked some for you and wanted to give them to you."

Wow, the flowers are so beautiful.

"Brother Lu is so good at this."

A chorus of exclamations and envy arose from those around her. Ling Shuangjiang stood up and solemnly accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you."

Lu Shaoheng chuckled: "Why are you acting like a primary school student receiving an award?"

Ling Shuangjiang smiled faintly: "To express my respect and gratitude."

At this moment, Lu Shaoheng and Xie Wang looked at each other and Lu Shaoheng nodded politely to Xie Wang.

Xie Wang lazily raised his chin in response. For some reason, the flowers in Ling Shuangjiang's hand seemed particularly irritating to him at that moment. Lu Shaoheng, as expected of a seasoned player in love, could effortlessly display his flirting skills.

He admires him?

[Lu Yingdi has acted in so many movies, and his dating skills are indeed top-notch, but I always feel that his behavior is like acting in a movie, with a lot of artistic elements.]

[Perhaps he's too perfect. His interactions with Shuangjiang perfectly match my image of a male protagonist in a novel, making it feel somewhat unrealistic.]

[Actually, I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed the interactions between the fourth and third male leads; they were so sweet.]

[Do the fans of the fourth and third male leads' pairing even know what it means to "enjoy your own little world"? Can't we just like the Lu Ling pairing? Can we please stop praising one while belittling the other?]

Soon, arguments erupted in the live chat, spreading to Weibo, with various couples debating endlessly.

Night had fallen, and the beach was quiet.

The bouquet that Lu Shaoheng gave to Ling Shuangjiang was taken apart and the petals were dried in preparation for filling the flower bag.

The sky was very clear tonight, and the stars, which could be seen everywhere, gradually began to shine. Ling Shuangjiang lay in bed and watched them silently.

Covered by a thin blanket, he unconsciously thought of Xie Wang.

So you waited at the entrance for ages just because you were worried he'd step on a dangerous plant?

He smiled, a slight upturn to his lips.

It seems Xie Wang still cares about him.

Moreover, Xie Wang was clearly acting strangely today.

Is this considered jealousy?

At this moment, a considerable amount of discussion could be heard inside Xie Wang's RV.

"I've been in a bad mood these past few days, and the production team doesn't allow us to bring our phones. So don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Xie Lin across from him complained, "I'm annoyed too! My brilliant, handsome, and dashing older brother! I've got my eye on a sports car. If you buy it for me, my worries will be gone in no time!"

Xie Wang said impatiently, "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

Xie Lin got his wish and began to care about Xie Wang: "Brother, why are you unhappy?"

Xie Wang's voice was muffled: "I met a kid on the show, but he's recently become obsessed with someone else."

Xie Lin hadn't watched the dating reality show and assumed Xie Wang was referring to a female guest, so he gave him a bad suggestion: "Who's the other one? Is she as handsome as my older brother?"

Xie Wang: "He's a movie star, but not as handsome as me."

Xie Lin: "Then why don't you find the chairman of his agency and give him a warning?"

Xie Wang's voice immediately turned cold: "Who gave you these ideas? If you can't beat someone, you resort to underhanded tactics. That's despicable behavior, and I don't care for it."

Xie Lin stuck out his tongue: "I'm just anxious and want to give you some advice."

Xie Wang's voice was low and deep: "I already have an idea."

Xie Lin: "What idea?"

Xie Wang said in a serious tone: "I will use my charm to win him over, use love to mend our relationship, make him realize the dangers of the outside world, and bring him back to my side."

Xie Lin was dumbfounded: "Go for it, bro!"

At 11 p.m., a deliveryman carrying a package from the flower shop knocked on Xie Wang's door.

Xie Wang smiled with satisfaction and opened the packaging.

Lu Shaoheng sent wildflowers, while Ling Shuangjiang sent a carefully cultivated bouquet of precious flowers. Ling Shuangjiang naturally knew who was more thoughtful.

Over time, Ling Shuangjiang will definitely realize that her older brother is more reliable and knows how to care for her.

However, after opening the package and looking at the two pitiful red roses, Xie Wang fell into deep thought.

Soon after, the store refunded him and apologized to him.

Because he ordered too late, the shop only had two fresh red roses left.

He sighed helplessly.

Let's just make do; the friendship is what matters.

Soon, clutching two roses, he walked to Ling Shuangjiang's RV, straightened his collar, and prepared to knock on the door.

But he was afraid that Ling Shuangjiang was already asleep and that he would wake her and the other guests so late, so he stood at the door and hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he decided to first go to the window next to the bed to take a look, and if Ling Shuangjiang was not asleep, he would knock on the door.

Sure enough, when he walked around the front of the car to the window, he saw Ling Shuangjiang looking down at her iPad.

Visibility was poor at night, and Xie Wang didn't see clearly at first glance. When he looked inside again, he discovered that Ling Shuangjiang's collar was unbuttoned at the top four buttons, and her white breasts were clearly exposed.

He tensed up and quickly dodged.

The two roses in his hand were rather shabby, and Ling Shuangjiang was barely clothed and dressed provocatively. Xie Wang felt that tonight was not the best time to give a gift, so he prepared to leave quietly.

But as soon as he took a step, he suddenly stepped on a pebble by the roadside, successfully alerting Ling Shuangjiang inside the RV.

Who is it?

"If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."

Xie Wang instinctively flinched, intending to leave quietly once Ling Shuangjiang relaxed.

Inside the room, Ling Shuangjiang remained alert: "Who's standing there?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xie Wang hurriedly imitated a movie scene, putting the rose in his mouth and slowly getting up to appear in front of the window.

His eyes were earnest and sincere as he raised the only two roses he had ever received: "Little Frost, good evening."

Ling Shuangjiang's pupils dilated suddenly, and she quickly rolled down the car window: "What are you doing here?"

Her collarbone was gently tugged, making it even more clearly visible. Xie Wang, a rose dangling from his mouth, calmly said, "I've come to give you flowers."

Ling Shuangjiang's gaze suddenly changed: "Your mouth looks like it's bleeding."

Xie Wang slowly lifted his eyelids: "I forgot there were thorns on it."

Ling Shuangjiang said urgently, "Then you'd better give in quickly."

"Oh." Xie Wang calmly removed the rose from his mouth and handed it to Ling Shuangjiang: "There's some drool in it, wipe it off."

Ling Shuangjiang was both amused and exasperated. She lowered her head to check Xie Wang's injury: "Let me see if your mouth is injured."

From Xie Wang's angle, he could see the entire view of Ling Shuangjiang's top. Xie Wang's eyes were unreadable: "It's too dark here, you can't see clearly. I'd better go back and see for myself."

Ling Shuangjiang: "Then come in, I'll open the door for you."

“It’s so late, it’s not appropriate for me to keep coming in and out of your RV.” Xie Wang said seriously, his gaze slowly landing on Ling Shuangjiang’s worried face. “But perhaps we can do this.”

Ling Shuangjiang raised her curious eyes: "How is it?"

Xie Wang cleared his throat: "I'm going up now and I'm not coming down again. I might as well sleep with you so as not to disturb the other guests."
