7: Chapter 7 He got anxious

Thinking of this, Lu Li took a deep breath and prepared to refuse.

"Um, I..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Yichen stood up.

"Teacher Shen, may I ask why?"

Shen Qingxue turned her head to look at him and said in a flat tone, "Do I need a reason?"

Zhou Yichen was choked up for a moment, then took another deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm.

"That is not what I mean, it is just... According to the rules, this segment should be a mutual selection between both parties. Since Teacher Shen, you chose him, he has to agree to it as well, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Li, the corners of his mouth curling into a meaningful arc.

"Lu Li, right? You surely... would not refuse, would you?"

The last few words he said very slowly, pressing heavily on them, full of a sense of threat.

Lu Li was slightly stunned. Was this a threat?

In front of millions of live broadcast viewers, using this seemingly polite tone to warn him both overtly and covertly.

In an instant, a wave of displeasure welled up inside Lu Li.

Originally, he was prepared to reject Shen Qingxue, but what did this expression of yours, Zhou Yichen, mean?

The live broadcast room barrage comments were already laughing like crazy.

[Hahaha he is freaking out!]

[Zhou Yichen is top-tier]

[Saying he would not refuse with his mouth, but in reality, his gaze was about to kill Lu Li]

[He is anxious, he is anxious, he is really anxious]

[If I were Lu Li, I would definitely refuse. Cannot afford to offend, cannot afford to offend]

[Plus one, offending Zhou Yichen, his fans are no joke]

Sure enough, the fans of Zhou Yichen immediately became unhappy and started spamming the barrage furiously.

[What do you guys know? Yichen is respecting the rules, okay!]

[That Lu Li better know what is good for him and not make a fool of himself]

[With his status, is he worthy of Shen Qingxue?]

[If Lu Li dares to agree, I will immediately hang him on the Xiaohongshu wanted list]

[Count me in, what kind of thing is he, actually daring to try and clout-chase our male god?]

At the scene.

Zhou Yichen did not seem to be done yet and wanted to continue speaking.

But Lu Li suddenly laughed.

This guy probably had some mental issue; ever since last night, he had been being sarcastic and acting up, and today he was pulling this routine again. Did he really think he was easy to bully?

After all, originally he wanted to refuse, but with Zhou Yichen putting it this way, if he refused, would it not seem like he was cowardly?

After figuring it out, Lu Li lazily leaned against the sofa, changed into a more comfortable posture, then raised his head and looked at Shen Qingxue.

"Alright, I agree."

The voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly.

The smile of Zhou Yichen completely froze.

The corners of his mouth still maintained an upward arc, but his eyes were left with only a trace of annoyance.

"You..."

Zhou Yichen opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.

In front of millions of viewers, he could not just curse outright; if he did that, his career would be ruined.

On the other side, the expressions of Lin Mo and Xu Hao were also extremely fascinating—one was staring with wide eyes, and the other had his mouth open.

As for Shen Qingxue, she still wore that icy expression, as if it would never change.

Lu Li would not pay attention to those things. Looking at the face of Zhou Yichen right now, he felt extremely gratified inside.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Pissing you off to death.

It was not just the scene that was shocked; the live stream was too.

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, he actually agreed!!!]

[Hahaha hahaha look at the face of Zhou Yichen, I am dying of laughter]

[It is green, it is green, his face has completely turned green]

[Is this the legendary reverse jinx? I love it, I love it]

Not only the live stream, but the atmosphere at the scene was also extremely subtle for a moment.

Zhou Yichen stood in place, the expression on his face changing repeatedly before finally forcing out a stiff smile.

"Good, very good, respecting your choice."

After speaking, he sat back down on the sofa, but those eyes stared fixedly at Lu Li.

Lu Li completely ignored his glare attack and continued leaning against the sofa drinking yogurt.

At this moment, Director Zhou sat within the filming crew and picked up a large megaphone to shout.

"Good! Very good! The first pair has been born!"

He clapped his hands, signaling the staff to step forward.

"According to the rules, the first pair of guests who successfully mutually selected each other will directly enter the 1V1 dating segment to deepen their understanding of each other!"

The action of Lu Li drinking yogurt paused.

What? A 1V1 date?

He subconsciously looked at Shen Qingxue, and Shen Qingxue happened to be looking at him too.

Their eyes met, and Lu Li saw from her eyes... um, nothing at all, still that icy face.

"The other guests will continue the selection segment. Lu Li and Shen Qingxue, please follow the staff to the designated dating location."

After Director Zhou finished speaking, staff members immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

Lu Li stood up, threw the finished yogurt carton into the trash can, and then followed along.

Before leaving, he heard the sound of Zhou Yichen grinding his teeth from behind.

"Continue."

The live stream barrage burst into another wave of wild laughter.

[Hahaha hahaha this tone, I am dying of laughter]

[Zhou Yichen: I will endure it, can I not just endure it]

[Looking forward to the 1V1 date! I want to know what kind of sparks the goddess and this Slacker Brother can create?]

...

On the other side, the staff led Lu Li and Shen Qingxue across the beach to a relatively secluded area.

This place was only a few dozen meters away from the previous venue. Several coconut trees were planted around, and under the shade was a small white round table and two rattan chairs.

On the table were two drinks and a plate of exquisite fruit snacks.

The sea breeze blew gently, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The environment looked quite romantic.

But Lu Li was in no mood to appreciate the scenery right now, because he saw several cameras set up around.

Four camera positions pointed at this small round table from different angles, and behind each camera stood a predatory cameraman.

Lu Li: ...

He suddenly felt a bit regretful.

Earlier, he was too busy pissing off Zhou Yichen and forgot about this matter.

This was the national goddess Shen Qingxue! Going on a 1V1 date with her, wouldn't that mean being watched by millions of pairs of eyes the entire time?

He still wanted to quietly coast through this episode of the show. Now look at this, he had directly become the center of attention for the whole audience.

Meanwhile.

The original main live broadcast room had already split into two.

One screen continued to broadcast the selection segment of the other guests, while the other screen cut out to a brand new live broadcast room.

The title had a few large words written on it.

[Shen Qingxue × Lu Li, 1V1 Exclusive Dating Live Broadcast]

As soon as the title was put up, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to skyrocket wildly, with ninety-nine percent of them coming for Shen Qingxue.

[It is here! It is here! I am coming specifically to see the goddess!]

[+1, I want to see what is so special about this Lu Li]

[To be frank, even if it is scripted, I am still going to watch it]

[Why is Lu Li making that expression? He does not seem very willing?]

[Hahaha really, he has a look like he does not want to film at all]

[Dying of laughter, an opportunity others can only dream of, and he actually despises it?]

In a mere two minutes, the online viewer count of this sub-live-broadcast room broke 800,000, and it was still continuing to rise.

Lu Li did not know about this, but he could roughly guess.
