"Heart-Fluttering Promise" also has other male and female guests, with two couples currently enjoying high popularity: one is the Moonlight(Yue-Guang) Couple of Chu Yueyi and Shi Guanghua, and the other is the Whistling(Hu-Xiao) Couple. The Moonlight group has obvious advantages, with their handsome man and beautiful woman pairing deemed the show's visual stars. Both guests also have good public relations, but some claim they can't "ship" them.
Chu Yueyi glanced briefly at the bullet comments, beginning to collect audience feedback and summarize her performance issues.
As she watched the comments, she also made her own remarks.
—Sister is the coolest! Don't flirt with him, flirt with me instead!
Chu Yueyi sighed: "If people can't ship us this way, there's nothing we can do. It's the fault of my irresistible charm."
—To be honest, they don't seem familiar, not even like friends.
Chu Yueyi nodded: "This comment is not wrong. We're indeed not familiar; we're colleagues."
—No good, I can't watch puppy love. At our age, we need to pursue excitement. I only like the clash of hormones, raw and intense!
Chu Yueyi saw this comment and thought: "?" Is this content suitable for a variety show?
—That's right, that's right, give us something for adults to watch. The Moonlight couple is too pure.
—The Moonlight couple has subtle sweet moments, like how the cold, straightforward guy remembers your preferences and quietly watches you laugh and play.
—Type "Shi Guanghua is not good enough" in the public comments.
—Like is about being careful and cautious. The Whistling couple is too cheesy. Moonlight feels genuine!
—At this age, who hasn't been in love? Being so coy seems a bit fake. The Whistling couple is straightforward and not pretentious.
—Is the person above making personal attacks? This hurt single dog who's been called fake is crying [tears]
—Do you think two people who look like that haven't dated before? Too fake!
—You have love and still criticize dogs? As a member of the dog lovers' association, I fully support Moonlight!
The "Heart-Fluttering Promise" production team positioned the Moonlight couple as having a first-love feel, but not all viewers bought into it. Some felt the two weren't familiar enough and seemed distant, while others thought it was impossible for the guests to be experiencing first love, calling the setup absurd and false.
For some reason, this sparked outrage in the comment section. Single netizens clashed with skeptical viewers, and fans of both the Moonlight and Whistling couples also competed, meticulously listing the sweet moments of their respective couples.
Chu Yueyi couldn't explain that she truly had never dated, but the netizens piqued her curiosity. She scrolled to the Whistling couple's segment and wondered aloud: "But a dating show can't be R-rated, where's the space for raw passion? Let me learn a bit..."
Li You hesitated: "Um... you probably won't be able to learn it."
At first, Chu Yueyi didn't understand Li You's complex tone, but after watching the Whistling couple's variety show content, she was so embarrassed she could dig a luxurious fairy castle in the ground.
Chu Yueyi exclaimed: "Why did he call her 'baby' as soon as they met?"
Li You: "Maybe love arrived."
Chu Yueyi covered her mouth: "My goodness, how can they say such sweet nothings..."
Li You: "Maybe love arrived."
Chu Yueyi collapsed: "How did they end up holding hands? How can he put his arm around her waist!?"
Li You: "Maybe love arrived."
Chu Yueyi: "..."
Chu Yueyi held her head in despair: "It turns out I don't understand love."
After consuming this industrial-grade sweetness, Chu Yueyi was greatly shocked. She found it hard to imagine closing the distance between a man and woman so quickly, accompanied by frequent flirtatious words and physical contact. She suddenly understood why netizens said the Whistling couple was more intoxicating - skipping the initial adjustment period and going straight to sweetness naturally made for an explosive start.
Chu Yueyi looked hesitant: "But can this kind of relationship really be reliable in real life?"
When two people aren't familiar enough, they rapidly cross relationship boundaries within a day, as if they've been in love for years. Chu Yueyi truly couldn't do it; she couldn't immediately open her heart to someone, nor could she accept a man's physical advances.
Chu Yueyi thought: Come to think of it, the big mute (Shi Guanghua) is quite good. At least I'm spared from cheesy words.
Li You reminded her: "This is just a show."
Chu Yueyi was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "You're right."
Only on a show would things be like this.
Love is nonsense; it's all just reality TV.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yueyi closed the variety show and said calmly: "I think I know what's missing now."
Li You said with difficulty: "Actually, you and Shi Guanghua aren't suited for this kind of thing."
Chu Yueyi: "I understand. I won't completely copy the answer. At least getting a few questions wrong would be more realistic."
Netizens felt the Moonlight couple wasn't intimate enough, so appropriately increasing physical contact and gradually dissolving the sense of distance would work.
Although Chu Yueyi had an idea in mind, she hadn't found the opportunity yet and could only wait for the recording of the second episode.
The main content of the first episode was getting acquainted, while the second episode focused on companionship, with male and female guests going out to play together. Chu Yueyi and the others would head to a mountainous area in the suburbs, where there was a scenic spot with an excellent environment.
The production team had their own recording vehicles, but Chu Yueyi and Shi Guanghua drove themselves, with Shi Guanghua as the driver. Cameras were installed inside the car, just like on the cruise, creating a space for just the two of them.
In the parking lot, Shi Guanghua wore casual dark hiking attire today. He was calmly talking with the director, occasionally looking down to record something on his phone, seemingly checking the driving route.
Chu Yueyi stood by the car waiting for the recording to begin. She actually didn't know how to drive, but with so many filming vehicles around, she figured they wouldn't get lost on the way.
After Shi Guanghua returned, the show's recording officially began. Chu Yueyi paused slightly before getting in the car, feeling that the driver and passenger seats were very close together. She finally opened the passenger door and slowly sat inside.
Shi Guanghua keenly noticed her hesitation. Instead of immediately opening the door to get in, he spoke softly through the lowered window: "You can sit in the back if you want."
Chu Yueyi smiled and said: "How could I let a musician be my driver?"
Shi Guanghua said seriously: "I can be a driver."
Chu Yueyi shook her head: "That won't do. I'm not cut out to be the boss." I'm just a worker.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shi Guanghua then opened the door and got in, gripping the steering wheel to start the car and drive away from the parking lot where everyone had gathered.
It must be said that Shi Guanghua's words and actions made Chu Yueyi feel quite safe. At least he wouldn't spout flowery love talk and then eagerly try to close the distance between them. Compared to other male guests, Chu Yueyi found him pleasing to the eye and refreshing. She felt that her intern was doing alright.
Chu Yueyi thought: The ice mountain may be cold, but at least he's not oily.
After the car entered the main road, only the two of them remained inside. Shi Guanghua casually turned on the car's music. Chu Yueyi, who had been a bit tense when first getting in, gradually relaxed with the soothing music, slowly regaining her professional demeanor.
She awkwardly shifted a bit, looked at the seat distance, and asked in confusion: "Is this your car?"
Chu Yueyi always felt that the seats in this car were unreasonable. If Shi Guanghua were the owner, given his standoffish personality, he probably wouldn't like such a cramped space.
Shi Guanghua glanced at the electronic screen, then reached out to change the music, saying frankly: "No, my car doesn't have such poor audio."
The editors in the neighboring car who were monitoring the recording and whose props had just been criticized: "?"
Chu Yueyi sensed the resentment in his tone and was actually amused by him for once. She teasingly responded: "Is this the legendary 'listening to music with less than 51 Dolby channels is like pouring garbage into your ears'?"
Chu Yueyi was reminded of the classic line from "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together," and found it oddly funny. She momentarily forgot she was supposed to be in work mode and reflexively cracked a joke, revealing her true self.
Chu Yueyi thought: As expected of you, Duanmu Hua!
Shi Guanghua had been concentrating on driving, but he caught a glimpse of her smile from the corner of his eye. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said: "That looks very nice."
Although he didn't know why she was laughing, it was a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart, not just a superficial, official mask. When she truly smiled, she was more radiant than sunshine, reminiscent of the golden and delicate petals of a sunflower.
Chu Yueyi was taken aback for a moment. She quickly came to her senses, touched her bun hairstyle, mistakenly thinking he was referring to her new look, and then displayed a flawless smile with dimples: "Thank you."
The same technique can't be used twice on a Saint Seiya knight. Having experienced the moment of being caught off guard by his "I know everything," Chu Yueyi wouldn't easily lose her composure due to his sudden professionalism again.
It really was fleeting.
Shi Guanghua noticed her change and couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment, his eyes dimming slightly. However, he said nothing.
Chu Yueyi felt it was important to encourage the intern's progress, so she began to exchange compliments, exclaiming, "You're quite attentive. I just saw you discussing with the director, and last time on the boat you listened to the safety instructions..."
Shi Guanghua always had an aloof demeanor that kept people at a distance, making it hard to imagine him listening attentively. After all, his appearance gave off a cold and arrogant impression, like a rebel in class back in the day, not at all like an obedient elementary school student listening to lectures.
Chu Yueyi didn't have his level of awareness. Her daily schedule was always arranged by Li You, and like many artists, her life skills were rather poor, with her room often in complete disarray.
Shi Guanghua gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, revealing only the smooth, handsome lines of his profile as he calmly replied, "Because it's not just me riding the boat or in the car."
"..."
Chu Yueyi thought to herself: Well, well, educating the intern and improving the veteran staff?
