48: After the 48th performance, we move on to the second segment of the day.

Director Zhou took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, picked up the megaphone, and was just about to say something.

But before he could speak, a round of applause suddenly sounded in the living room.

Everyone was stunned.

Because the applause came from Shen Qingxue, making her the first person present to express her stance.

Even if it was just a round of applause.

Some people in the living room came back to their senses.

Chen Wenwen hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out to join in the applause.

Seeing this, the others also followed suit and clapped, though it sounded a bit sparse.

"Thank you for the support."

Lu Li's voice was not loud, and his tone was calm.

After speaking, he turned around, walked to his seat, sat down, and picked up a bottle of yogurt to drink slowly.

Soon, Director Zhou took a deep breath, raised the megaphone, and his voice involuntarily became a bit more impassioned.

"Great! Thank you to Lu Li for bringing us this song 'actor'. The explanation segment ends here!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"No matter what is said online, the Program Team's attitude remains unchanged. Before there is conclusive evidence, Lu Li is still a guest of this show, and this point will not change."

"Next, we will continue with today's recording!"

After finishing, Director Zhou made a gesture to the staff, signaling them to remove the piano.

Several staff members walked over on tiptoe and joined forces to push the black grand piano away from the center of the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room finally eased up.

Lin Yu leaned against the sofa, occasionally glancing over at Lu Li before quickly withdrawing her gaze.

Who knows what she was thinking in her heart.

On the other side, Zhou Yichen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his expression still as breezy and light as ever.

However, his gaze imperceptibly glanced toward Lu Li, a trace of an unnoticeable gloom flashing deep within his eyes.

Why should he be able to turn the situation around with just a song?

Are those netizens all fence-sitters? Can a single song wash away the suspicion of cheating? What a bunch of useless things.

He took a deep breath, and his expression returned to normal.

It doesn't matter, he still had a backup plan.

The corners of Zhou Yichen's mouth hooked up slightly, but he quickly pressed them back down.

Inside the livestream room, netizens were still frantically flooding the screen with comments.

[Good lord, the explanation segment just ended like this?]

[What else? What else do you want him to do? Kneel down and kowtow to you?]

[No, the cheating matter is just turned over like this? A song dismissed you guys?]

[As people said, take facts as the basis and law as the criterion. If you have solid proof, release it.]

[Exactly, wanting to convict someone with just a few screenshots of chat records is too naive of you.]

[Anyway, I think the song 'actor' is written so well, I'm going to put it on single-track repeat.]

[Begging for the audio source!]

[A song sounding good and his character being good or bad are two different things. Can you guys stop conflating them?]

[Alright, alright, stop arguing and let the show continue, okay? I'm here to watch a romance reality show, not to watch you guys quarrel.]

The barrage was still divided, but more people began to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see subsequent developments.

Director Zhou looked at the backend data, and the stone in his heart finally dropped by half.

Not bad, at least it was stabilized.

Next, it depended on how subsequent operations would go.

He cleared his throat and raised the megaphone.

"Alright, let the online matters pass for now, and let's put our attention back onto the show itself."

"Next, I want to announce today's second segment!"

The corners of Director Zhou's mouth hooked into a meaningful smile.

Hearing this, the guests all straightened up and had no choice but to take it seriously.

Because after getting familiar with it over the past few days, they pretty much understood the Program Team. If they said they wouldn't give you food, they really dared not to give it.

Moreover, just looking at the expression Director Zhou was showing... at first glance, it felt like nothing good was coming.

"The first segment of the afternoon is called... Tacit Understanding Test."

Director Zhou intentionally dragged out his tone, his gaze wandering back and forth among the several CP pairs.

"The rules are also very simple, which is You Draw, I Guess."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room instantly relaxed a lot.

Xu Hao was the first to react.

"I know this! I often play this at home!"

Lin Yu glanced at him from the side, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly without taking up the conversation.

After a period of contact, she also knew Xu Hao very well. In short, it was just bragging. Whether it was true or not, he would brag first anyway.

At this moment, the barrage area of the livestream room instantly became lively.

[You Draw, I Guess? This segment is interesting!]

[Has the time to test tacit understanding arrived?!]

[I bet Shen Qingxue and Lu Li's group is the strongest. After all, their cooperation in the parkour segment earlier was so good.]

[Did you upstairs forget that Lu Li still has negative rumors hanging on him?]

[Exactly, maybe Shen Qingxue looks down on him?]

[Negative rumors are negative rumors, tacit understanding is tacit understanding; they are two different things.]

[I actually think Zhou Yichen and Su Qing's group will win. Their tacit understanding in acting must be better.]

[Indeed, cutting a piece of skin can be acted out with the posture of severing a finger. Their acting tacit understanding must be good.]

[Hahahahaha laughing to death, you upstairs really understand boomerangs.]

The barrage flashed by swiftly, and Director Zhou had already raised the megaphone.

"Let me explain the rules."

"First, each group has a time limit of five minutes. One person gestures and the other guesses. One point is awarded for each correct guess, and you can switch people at any time halfway through."

"Second, the person gesturing can use body movements and verbal descriptions, but cannot say any single word in the prompt, otherwise the question will be voided."

"Third, and also the most crucial point..."

"This segment only has point rewards, no dating rights, and no ingredient rewards, but the points can be accumulated into the third segment."

"The rewards for the third segment are the same. Finally, the one with the most points will be counted as the champion and receive massive rewards."

As his voice fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Fortunately, the Program Team acted like human beings this time and didn't have any strange rules.

The expression on Lin Yu's face noticeably relaxed, but she quickly put on a sweet smile and cast a reproachful glance at Director Zhou.

"Director Zhou, can you stop panting halfway when you speak? You scared the life out of me."

Director Zhou laughed heartily and didn't pick up the conversation.

Hearing this rule, the netizens in the livestream room had a polarized reaction.

[No rewards? Then what the heck are we playing for?]

[What do you upstairs know, points can be accumulated to the third segment, Director Zhou just said it.]

[Indeed, accumulating points from the third segment means whoever has the higher score gets the big meal and dating rights. You didn't listen carefully, did you?]

[Can you guys stop obsessing over that crappy big meal and dating rights? I just want to watch the scenes of Shen Qingxue and Lu Li.]

[Count me in, I want to watch too.]

The barrage flashed by swiftly, and Director Zhou had already raised the megaphone.

"Alright, alright, are the rules clear to everyone?"

Everyone nodded.

"Alright then, the order will follow the morning's rankings, appearing in reverse order."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Yichen's expression stiffened visibly to the naked eye.

Appearing in reverse order, does that mean their group is the first one again?

Is this intentional?
