Qian Shuzhi's tone was flat. She no longer seemed to have the anticipation she had when she first came to the show. Instead, she looked rather listless.
She didn't hold out much hope.
Qian Shuzhi knew that no matter what, Shao Yinan would still reject her.
Sure enough, Shao Yinan let out a soft sigh.
After several live broadcasts, how could he not know Qian Shuzhi's feelings for him?
Shao Yinan's eyes darkened involuntarily as if he had thought of something.
He remembered how Qian Shuzhi and Wen Zhi had deliberately joined forces during the first episode...
"Sorry, Teacher Qian. I can't accept your invitation for the time being."
[Ah, it feels like this ending was already doomed. How could Shao Yinan agree?]
[Yeah, although it's pitiful to see Qian Shuzhi's unrequited love, I still can't like her when I think about what she did in the first episode.]
[Well, as the saying goes, every hated person has his or her pitiful side!]
[Qian Shuzhi is just like me with unrequited love. Waaaaaa!]
[The clown is actually you.]
[It seems that Shao Yinan is waiting for Wen Yin to invite him. I wonder which male guest Wen Yin will invite!]
[I want to know too!]
["The Only Crush" must be real! Let out another groundhog scream!]
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Qian Shuzhi still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
She felt as if she had been frozen. She stood there in a daze for a few seconds.
Then a pained smile spread across her face. "It's okay."
Qian Shuzhi spoke slowly, but her tone was filled with a sourness that she couldn't hold back, and there was even a hint of a sob.
"It's good that Teacher Shao has his own choice."
Qian Shuzhi waved at the director. "Director, I'd like to make my choice last."
The director nodded. After all, the right to choose for this date was in the hands of the female guests, and he naturally had to respect the wishes of the parties involved.
Next up to choose a dating partner was Li Xiangwei.
She was dressed very casually today. A simple sweatshirt was somehow made to look high - end on her. Her long black hair, which was usually different, was now pulled up into a cute bun on top of her head.
She looked full of youthful energy.
She stopped in front of Xiang Zhou.
"Teacher Xiang, may I invite you for a date?"
Li Xiangwei looked a bit awkward. She probably didn't expect that she, who was always so proud, would actually take the initiative to invite Xiang Zhou.
Xiang Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Li Xiangwei, whose cheeks were blushing for some unknown reason. The corner of his lips curled slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness on his face.
Li Xiangwei had to admit.
Whether it was the young Xiang Zhou or the mature Xiang Zhou now, he could make her fall for him at first sight.
The rare playfulness on Xiang Zhou's usually indifferent face made him look a bit like his younger self.
Li Xiangwei was in a daze for a moment.
Suddenly, she heard the man's deep and penetrating voice in her ear.
"Of course. It's my honor to be invited by Teacher Li."
These familiar words made Li Xiangwei stunned for a moment. It was as if she had returned to that early morning many years ago -
"Of course. It's my honor that Group Leader Li let me copy her homework."
The other netizens in the live - broadcast room couldn't help but scream because of their interaction -
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! "Xiang Zhou" must be real!]
[I declare that Xiang Zhou has scored big points this time!]
"It's my honor!" How can a man be so charming?]
"My god, has anyone noticed! Li Xiangwei is actually blushing!"
[I could tell from their time in Beizhou that their relationship was special. Sure enough!]
[Yeah! Xiang Zhou was really worried about Li Xiangwei during that time in Beizhou!]
[Sure enough, watching others fall in love is the sweetest!]
Next was Wen Zhi's turn. She subconsciously looked at Jiang Shihuai beside her and then glanced at Xiao Mo on the left out of the corner of her eye.
Wen Zhi was a bit conflicted.
But thinking of her speculation today, Wen Zhi gritted her teeth and stood in front of Jiang Shihuai.
"Senior, may I invite you?"
Jiang Shihuai seemed completely taken aback that Wen Zhi would invite him. For a moment, he was even a bit stunned.
Jiang Shihuai wanted to refuse, but then he saw the glistening look in Wen Zhi's eyes. Her voice was soft and waxy, and her water - like eyes were staring at him without blinking.
It was as if she was silently pleading with him not to refuse.
Jiang Shihuai's heart softened instantly. He thought of all the things between him and Wen Zhi.
In the end, he just couldn't bring himself to say the words of rejection.
Seeing that Jiang Shihuai had agreed, Wen Zhi immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. Things weren't that bad yet.
Wen Zhi pretended to be happy on the surface. She pursed her lips and shyly smiled, but out of the corner of her eye, she was still quietly observing Xiao Mo's expression.
Then, Wen Zhi slightly lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
From the moment Wen Zhi stood beside Jiang Shihuai, Xiao Mo's face had turned a bit livid. He had been holding back, not knowing what to say.
After all, there were cameras in front of them.
He just couldn't bring himself to ask the accusing questions no matter what.
Noticing Xiao Mo's abnormality, Wen Yin quietly smiled.
Look, her good sister's attempt to keep multiple suitors had failed.
How could Wen Yin not know what Wen Zhi was up to?
She had just noticed Jiang Shihuai's abnormality and started using some petty tricks to keep him.
Wen Yin sneered in her heart, and a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.
That's all the petty tricks Wen Zhi has, isn't it?
The director motioned for the next female guest to start making her choice.
Wen Yin was the last one to stand up. She looked around at the male guests who hadn't been chosen yet.
Xiao Mo only made eye contact with her for a moment and then quickly averted his gaze, as if he had seen something filthy.
On the contrary, Lu Ziqiu was completely different from Xiao Mo.
When their eyes met, Wen Yin clearly saw a glimmer of hope re - ignite in Lu Ziqiu's otherwise dull eyes.
Did Lu Ziqiu think that she was thinking about whether to choose him?
But then, the hope in Lu Ziqiu's eyes was instantly extinguished. As if he had remembered something, he just looked at Wen Yin calmly.
But there was still an undeniable expectation in his eyes.
Wen Yin slowly lowered her eyes, pretending not to see Lu Ziqiu's expectant eyes.
"Shao Yinan, may I invite you?"
Wen Yin hardly needed to think before she stood in front of Shao Yinan.
Qian Shuzhi watched the two of them longingly. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind -
Shao Yinan, reject her.
Qian Shuzhi thought maliciously.
She couldn't have Shao Yinan. Why could Wen Yin?
What was she, Qian Shuzhi, lacking compared to Wen Yin?!
No matter how intense Qian Shuzhi's gaze was, Shao Yinan finally nodded with a faint smile.
He stood up, leaned forward slightly, and looked into Wen Yin's eyes.
His pair of dark peach - blossom eyes seemed to be able to suck people in.
"Of course. It's my great honor to receive A Yin's invitation."
