The other seven guests began to fumble with the mystery boxes. Lin Yan guessed two non-living items correctly but got one living item wrong, receiving the punishment of speaking a truth.
The production team asked, "Lin Yan, if you had to turn one of the FOR members into a girl and make her your girlfriend, whom would you choose?"
FOR, being a top boy band, could stir up half a month's worth of buzz over trivial matters, and this type of romantic topic was especially hot.
Upon hearing the question, Lin Yan's gaze swept across the members of FOR, eventually landing on Ye Xian, who was lost in thought by his side, looking sometimes distressed, regretful, and indignant, as if he had been plotted against, unspeakably adorable.
The production team had thought Lin Yan would hesitate over this topic, but he answered directly and decisively.
Hearing his answer, Cary clutched his heart, staring at him with a mix of defensiveness and arrogance, "I didn't expect that, Lin Yan. You look like a gentleman normally, but secretly you're lusting after my body!"
Lin Yan simply smiled faintly, and the mischievous production team immediately followed up with, "Why?"
Cary: "What else could it be? Because I'm handsome and have personable bearings!" Seeing Lin Yan's recent attitude towards Ye Xian, he thought Lin Yan might choose Ye Xian, but it turned out his love for himself ran deep!
Lin Yan: "Because I like girls who are a bit silly."
The entire place roared with laughter, Cary unconcerned, "What would you single dogs know? You only think someone is silly because you like them!"
When it was Jiang Wanze's turn, the production team designed a daring challenge for him: Call the lead actress of the drama you're currently filming and confess your love.
As soon as the challenge was announced, everyone understood that the production team was obviously trying to capitalize on the popularity of "Conquest of the World." Google seaʀᴄh novel•fire.net
With this call, if Luo Yuwei rejected him, the dreams of the couple's fans would be dashed; if she didn't, then things might just get serious!
Remaining untroubled, Jiang Wanze took up the challenge right away, conveniently using this opportunity to prove to Ye Xian that there was nothing going on between him and Luo Yuwei.
As Jiang Wanze dialed the number, he glanced at Ye Xian.
Ye Xian, feeling his gaze, snapped back to reality and saw the progression on the big screen—Jiang Wanze confessing to Luo Yuwei? How thrilling.
The phone connected, and a soft and gentle voice came through, clearly Luo Yuwei's, "Hello, Wanze?"
Her familiar and intimate calling of his name made the comments section instantly tense.
'Damn? She sounds so intimate, just as I would call my husband' 'Stop the nonsense, actors from the same drama are surely friends, so what's with calling him by his name?' 'Excited, is the Qing Tian CP going to sweeten things up?' 'Can some people stop conflating dramas with reality? Just because you act in a drama, does it mean you must date? How childish!' 'Ze's fans reject all real-person CPs' 'Top fans are really proud, huh? Ordinary folks can't even ship a CP?' 'Anyone shipping a real-person CP must be a fake fan, right? Not enough of sucking your brother dry?'
Everyone stared at Jiang Wanze, waiting for how he would elegantly steer the conversation when he said, "I like you, be my girlfriend."
Guests, production team, comments: "???"
Ye Xian: "..." What kind of forthright confession was this? Was it arrogance due to confidence or absolute certainty?
