21: Chapter 21 Ideal Type and Love at First Sight

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Bam!

The first few sounds were the suitcase bumping against the stairs!

The last one was the sound of Chi Zhao hitting the floor!

The sound made even He Yunshen wince in pain.

If it were him, he'd have to go to the hospital.

"How did you end up down there?" He Yunshen asked with a mix of innocence and confusion.

"I..."

Ten thousand swear words in Chi Zhao's head are omitted here.

"It couldn't be because you slipped, right?"

"Or was the suitcase too heavy? Do you need my help? If so, just nod."

Chi Zhao turned and raised his hand, preparing to get up.

Then he heard He Yunshen say, "If you don't need it, then never mind."

It turned out He Yunshen had mistaken Chi Zhao's hand-waving for a refusal.

Chi Zhao: I freaking want to diss you!

Bullet Chat:

[Wow, what's going on? Didn't Chi Zhao just go upstairs? How did he end up back at the bottom of the stairs in the blink of an eye?]

[I'm not sure either. Maybe the video was played in reverse.]

[Can a live stream be played in reverse? The posture isn't even right. He was standing just now, but now he's lying face down. This is clearly photoshopped!]

[Is this 'slip' the same 'slip' I'm thinking of?]

[Chi Zhao: Does no one care if I'm dead or alive?]

Chi Zhao encouraged himself internally. It's nothing, just a fall, right?

"Are you okay?" He Yunshen walked down and asked with concern.

He almost forgot he was on a show and there were cameras.

His perfect persona almost crumbled!

I, He Yunshen, am a very polite and caring handsome Young Gentleman!

Chi Zhao glared at him resentfully. "I'm fine!"

Belated concern is cheaper than grass!

Moreover, his concern was so flawless that he couldn't even find fault with it. It was so frustrating!

"It's good that you're okay. I'm relieved then." He Yunshen patted his chest, acting as if he were incredibly worried.

"You're too careless. Watch your step this time."

Chi Zhao: I...

"It's because you suddenly turned around that this happened."

He Yunshen tilted his head in confusion. "I don't have eyes in the back of my head. Besides, according to traffic laws, this is a rear-end collision plus a scam."

Chi Zhao: I...

So it's my fault after all?!

"I don't want to say anything anymore. My heart is tired."

"Oh, then be careful this time."

On the second attempt to go upstairs, Chi Zhao kept a great distance from He Yunshen.

To avoid being accused of "Scamming" again!

He was cautious all the way and only breathed a sigh of relief once they reached the room.

First day on a Dating Show, and he almost sent himself packing!

"By the way, don't forget to send the Heart-fluttering Text Message."

Chi Zhao didn't even have time to unpack his luggage; he had to send the Heart-fluttering Text Message first.

Who should he send it to?

"Who are you going to send it to?" He Yunshen asked.

"Damn, you startled me!"

Chi Zhao hid his phone behind his back.

"If you won't tell me, then fine. Stingy!" He Yunshen turned the tables.

Chi Zhao was quite dissatisfied with this roommate.

Are you even human?

After thinking for a bit, he sent: [First time meeting, I hope to monitor more sides of you.]

"Holy crap, I made a typo!"

Why can't I retract it?!

"Ahem, hey, He Yunshen."

He Yunshen asked lazily, "What's up? Do you need something?"

"Um, what if—I'm just saying what if—you made a typo in the Heart-fluttering Text Message?"

He Yunshen thought seriously for a moment and then said, "I don't know. No one should be able to make a typo, right? How stupid would they have to be? If it were me, I'd just drop dead on the spot."

After saying that, he turned around and burst into uncontrollable laughter on the bed.

Chi Zhao: Hey, you're laughing too loud! Besides, is it really polite to laugh like that right in front of me?

...

[You look very beautiful today. And not just today.]

Su Lingyin racked her brain but couldn't imagine that this was actually sent to her by Chen Yu.

In the few days since arriving at the The Cottage, Chen Yu hadn't complimented her looks once.

All he did was tease her about her bad cooking!

[First time meeting, I hope to monitor more sides of you.]

Who is this? How could they even make a typo?

It probably isn't Chen Yu; he's not that stupid.

"Did Chen Yu not send me a text today?" Su Lingyin murmured, then pursed her lips. For some reason, a sense of disappointment lingered in her heart.

Unsurprisingly, Chi Zhao didn't receive any text messages today.

"That shouldn't be right. Was my performance not good enough?" He took out his phone and opened the beauty filter camera.

"So handsome!"

His slicked-back hair from after washing up was gone, replaced by a kind of messy handsomeness—the weathered wanderer type (at least in his own opinion).

While Chi Zhao was immersed in his own good looks...

In Chen Yu's room.

Both of them were half-lying on the bed with their phones in their hands.

Shen Yanzhou suddenly smiled happily!

[The scenery today is nice.] (Lin Xi)

Although he didn't know who it was from, he was indeed happy.

This segment designed by the show indeed gave the guests a lot of room for imagination, but it also easily led to misunderstandings because of overthinking.

Shen Yanzhou sent his text to Jiang Miaozhu today because her charm attracted him.

Compared to Lin Xi's playfulness and cuteness, being with Jiang Miaozhu was more comfortable, like the difference between a young girl and an older sister.

Besides, he preferred mature women.

Because mature ones have good figures!

<(￣3￣)> Hmph!

"What's happened to make you so happy?" Chen Yu teased.

Shen Yanzhou avoided the question and asked instead, "Did you receive a text?"

Chen Yu nodded. "Isn't that obvious? Even you received one."

By the time he finished, he started laughing himself.

That damn male competitiveness.

"What do you mean 'even I' received one? Shouldn't I have?"

Chen Yu nodded. "You should, you definitely should!"

"Then how many did you get?"

Chen Yu held up two fingers in a peace sign. "Two."

[Thank you for your concern.] (Su Lingyin)

[I'm very interested in you, Chen Yu. You can't escape!] (Jiang Miaozhu)

His gut told him the first one was from Su Lingyin, and he could guess with his eyes closed that the second one was from Jiang Miaozhu.

Has this lady lost her mind?

I've shown so much resistance, so why does she keep throwing herself at me?

As expected, women only hinder his progress!

Annoying!

"How come?" Shen Yanzhou asked unwillingly.

"Manly charm." Chen Yu shrugged and then asked:

"Have you changed your affections again?"

Shen Yanzhou resisted, his expression a bit unnatural. "What do you mean 'again'? I just want to get to know her more. It's mainly because Jiang Miaozhu's looks and personality fit my expectations perfectly."

Chen Yu curled his lip and retorted, "You're not going to say Jiang Miaozhu is your Ideal Type, are you?"

Shen Yanzhou snapped his fingers. "You really do know me!"

The two had become quite familiar, so they often joked around.

"I get it. You're just lusting after her beauty."

"Exactly—Wait, no! This is Love at First Sight!"

"Don't tell me you've never experienced Love at First Sight!"

Chen Yu said seriously, "I haven't!"

After saying that, Chen Yu closed his eyes to rest, refusing to communicate further with Shen Yanzhou.

However, Su Lingyin's face unconsciously appeared in his mind.

That day, the sunlight was just right.

Looking at Chen Yu's back, Shen Yanzhou muttered softly, "Trying to cover it up only makes it more obvious."
