Chapter 16: Jealousy Comes in Pairs

[I’m calling the police!

Can you two please stop whispering!

Please stop whispering!]

[What’s with only letting us hear the last sentence every time?

Even cloze tests leave fewer blanks than you two!]

[Holy shit “cloze test” hahahaha]

[So where exactly is your chemistry?!

I’ve got ten thousand ants crawling in my heart!]

[How come you’re always the one whispering, Miss Mermaid?

Reflect on yourself, aaaa!]

[But just watching them whisper to each other is so sweet. “Pine Nut” is such a perfect match!

I can’t help it—I’ve already opened a document to start producing fanworks!]

 

The staff member holding the bamboo lot container was now standing roughly in the center of the reception hall, far from Sang Zhiyi and Song Ying, but closer to Jiang Yingru and Zhongli Miaomiao.

 

Liu Bolin was already aware of this episode’s lottery rules.

 

He looked at the two remaining bamboo lots in the container, somewhat hesitant.

 

What if he drew the same as Zhongli Miaomiao…

Zhongli Miaomiao had been chatting with Jiang Yingru until Liu Bolin sneaked another glance at her.

 

Only then did she belatedly realize what was happening.

“Huh?

Why are you looking at me?

Oh, you don’t want to be in a pair with me, is that it?”

 

Liu Bolin: “…”

Liu Bolin really hadn’t expected Zhongli Miaomiao to say this so bluntly.

 

He could only once again reveal his awkward but polite smile and play dumb.

 

[The top idol is really flattering himself a bit… The little princess has long since shifted her affection to Ren Xiaoqian.]

[The little princess’s loud voice is somehow really funny, hahahaha.]

[Putting a pot lid on my head, I kind of feel like the little princess and Liu Bolin could also be shipped.]

[Give the moderators an extra chicken leg.

Those people who go crazy everywhere are almost invisible now.]

Some viewers also noticed something that had been overlooked before.

[Wait, I don’t remember—isn’t President Lou also around?

Why hasn’t there been a single shot of him for so long?

Did he also run off during the live stream like Director Song?]

[Then wouldn’t President Lou be the last to draw?]

[Last episode when Lou Yanchen drew lots, he got the last number, 6.

Could it be the same again this time…?]

[President Lou: I voluntarily give up the right to choose a mate.]

[Hahahahahahahaha]

 

As it turned out, Lou Yanchen was not the last to draw.

 

He had finally managed to compose himself.

 

While Liu Bolin was still hesitating, Lou Yanchen appeared in front of the camera and took one of the bamboo lots.

 

Only one lot remained, leaving Liu Bolin with no choice.

 

He could only smile sheepishly and take the last lot into his hand.

 

Better to rip off the bandage quickly.

 

Liu Bolin seized the camera and showed the number he had drawn.

 

It was “three.”

 

He was paired with Jiang Yingru.

 

The production team now dared to give Lou Yanchen a close-up.

 

Lou Yanchen didn’t waste any time either, coldly tearing open the bamboo lot in his hand.

 

The number written inside was “two.”

 

Paired with Zhongli Miaomiao.

 

Lou Yanchen was genuinely disappointed.

 

He suddenly realized that his disappointment was not only because he hadn’t been paired with Jiang Yingru, but also because of some added emotion from not being paired with Sang Zhiyi.

 

Lou Yanchen: “…”

Lou Yanchen looked at Sang Zhiyi, who was being affectionate with Song Ying, and suddenly felt the same sense of anger he had experienced last episode when he saw Sang Zhiyi being intimate with Jiang Yingru.

 

Lou Yanchen knew he was jealous.

 

He was jealous over two different people.

“Ew—” Zhongli Miaomiao made a sound of extreme disgust.

 

She looked at the number two lot in her hand, her face scrunching up.

“Tsk tsk tsk, how did I end up with Lou Yanchen?

Who wants to look at his sour face all day?”

 

[I’m dying of laughter.

Certified by a childhood friend—President Lou is always unhappy, hahahaha.]

[Are they really childhood friends?

I can ship this!

Such a sweet bickering couple!]

[Little princess, think positively.

Director Song is already in a pair with your Sister Xiaoqian.

Your only choices were between Liu Bolin and Lou Yanchen, and you don’t seem to want to be with Liu Bolin either.

So you might as well just go with President Lou [doge]]

 

Zhongli Miaomiao obviously also realized this.

 

Her face finally scrunched up a little less.

 

She turned her head and shouted at the nearest staff member.

“Hey!

Aren’t there way too few guests on this show?

Can you go invite a few more?

OK?”

 

Give her more options!

 

[f*ck, as expected of the little princess, asking the production team directly during the show, hahaha.]

[More guests are great!

More people means more excitement!

More excitement means more melons to eat!]

[OK, OK!

I unilaterally represent the Limited Season production team in accepting the little princess’s command!]

 

The staff member randomly chosen by Zhongli Miaomiao: “…”

He didn’t know if it was OK or not!

He was just a grunt worker, completely following orders—he had no decision-making power whatsoever!

 

The show’s producer, however, had his mind working.

 

Six guests really were a bit few.

 

Given the current fame and traffic of Love of a Limited Season, countless people were clamoring to get in.

 

They could definitely pick a few of the most suitable ones to inject some fresh blood into the show!

 

Zhongli Miaomiao had thought of this suddenly and hadn’t expected to get a substantive answer just by asking.

 

After speaking, she reluctantly started moving toward Lou Yanchen.

 

One step forward, three steps stopping.

 

Lou Yanchen: “…”

Lou Yanchen’s brow twitched violently.

 

He hadn’t even complained about this crazy girl Zhongli Miaomiao yet, but she was already complaining about him?!

 

Lou Yanchen didn’t know what kind of luck this was.

 

There were only three female guests total, and two of them he was willing to pair with.

 

Yet he ended up with the only one he didn’t want.

 

Knowing that he didn’t have to be paired with Zhongli Miaomiao, Liu Bolin also breathed a genuine sigh of relief.

 

He couldn’t afford to mess with those he shouldn’t provoke, but Zhongli Miaomiao had been the one actively interested in him.

 

And Liu Bolin knew very well what kind of person he was.

 

Zhongli Miaomiao’s looks and figure were very much to his taste.

 

Even if she had already had a few ex-boyfriends and was obviously a “worn-out shoe,” he could still reluctantly sleep with her.

 

Liu Bolin was afraid that if he couldn’t help himself… then there would be trouble.

 

Now it was fine.

 

Paired with Jiang Yingru, he didn’t have to worry so much.

 

To Liu Bolin, Jiang Yingru, at twenty-eight, was too old.

 

He had no interest in such an “old woman.”

 

Especially a sickly, cold old woman.

 

Liu Bolin once again revealed his signature sunny smile, greeting Jiang Yingru with a bit of a goofy air.

“Sister Yingru, hello!

I grew up watching your work.

This is the first time I’ve been this close to you.

I’m so excited.

Please be patient with me and give me guidance!”

 

Jiang Yingru wasn’t very aware of the dirty things surrounding Liu Bolin.

 

However, her personality was naturally cool and distant, and she wasn’t familiar with Liu Bolin at all.

 

Upon hearing this, she gave only a polite, simple response.

 

The pairing was finally concluded without further incident.

 

The production team quickly announced today’s activity—

All three pairs of guests would go shopping together at a mall, each selecting a complete outfit for their partner, and then wear the outfits their partners had chosen for them as a display.

 

[Suddenly hearing an activity rule that actually fits a dating show, I feel a bit uncomfortable [doge]]

[I forgot this was a dating show and not a melon show.

It actually remembered.

It really did.

I cry!]

[What the hell is a melon show, hahahaha]

 

The entire mall had once again been booked in advance by the production team of Love of a Limited Season.

 

The male and female guests were taken there separately in two vehicles.

 

During the short ride, Sang Zhiyi leaned close to Jiang Yingru and spoke softly.

“Sister Jiang, could you please do me a favor later?”

 

The one paired with Jiang Yingru was Liu Bolin.
