Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: I, the Lonely Star of Death, Enjoy Making Friends

Watching Xu Qingyan's smile bloom on his face, Song Enya and Nian Shuyu suddenly stopped laughing as if their throats had been choked.

Song Enya and Nian Shuyu had endured many hardships to join the love reality show, and it certainly wasn't for charity.

The lifespan of the love reality show was a mere seven days, and during this time, the most important thing was to accumulate popularity, which could be directly monetized after leaving the show.

Whether it was building one's personal IP or making money through live-stream bring-and-buy, it was a safe and easy business with a smooth entry and exit.

In other words, popularity equaled money.

Looking at the "Love Hunter" column group, it might take a while to debate who had the highest popularity. But if you asked who was the most venomous, who was the Lonely Star of Death....

Without a doubt, if Xu Qingyan claimed second place, no one dared to claim the first.

An ordinary person with shocking, contrarian views, he was like a walking pariah. Whoever was tied to him as a couple partner would just wait for their popularity to plummet, doomed to weep on an electric bike for the rest of their life.

When the staff announced that lock chain rule, the situation instantly reversed.

Xu Qingyan, with a grin wider than an AK could suppress, stepped forward to take that sacred lock chain.

Among the four female guests present, Pei Muchan did not lack for popularity, and the dazed Shen Jinyue, though only a mid-level internet celebrity, had fans with high loyalty because of her singing blog.

In comparison, Song Enya and Nian Shuyu were more in need of popularity, and the scene of choosing the table just now had confirmed his thoughts.

He wasn't a naive sweetheart; he was well aware of the role he played in this program, as well as the situation he was in now.

Bai Jinze had a grudge against him, and he, unfortunately, was close to Pei Muchan, who had the highest popularity. The other party would definitely find a way to team up with others to vote him out.

With a total of nine guests on the show, Bai Jinze only needed to persuade two of the three male guests, and only needed to secure a vote from either Song Enya or Nian Shuyu among the females.

Just by pulling together an effortless three votes, one could easily kick Xu Qingyan out.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, especially in a vanity fair filled with money and deception—where the most easily overlooked details can often be deadly.

Who is the money hunter? They are enemies even among their own kind.

In other words, voting isn't about fighting and killing, but about relationships and interests. Whether the person voted for is a money hunter isn't that important.

Voting out someone who conflicts with one's own interests is what really matters.

Xu Qingyan looked down, glancing at the lock chain in his hand with many thoughts flashing through his mind. To naively choose a female guest for a coupled play?

No.

He looked down at the lock chain in his hand, an idea suddenly forming in his mind. Did they understand the value of the tie?

A true cunning person, a true man, knew exactly what to do. If you really wanted to understand this man, don't look at his passive attitude; look at his heart.

Coincidentally, Xu Qingyan's heart won by a margin.

"I have a question, what does this rule mean..." Xu Qingyan raised his harmless little hand, smiling at the staff.

"Can I choose any one of the four female guests to be connected with the lock chain and live together for a whole day?"

"Yes," the staff responded affirmatively.

Hearing this, Song Enya, Nian Shuyu, and Shen Jinyue... seemed like something strange got mixed in; anyway, the expressions of the women changed, their faces written with rejection.

"Okay, give me a few minutes, I need to calm down," Xu Qingyan took a deep breath with exaggerated theatricality, usually full of praise, "Each female guest here is perfect, with their own unique qualities."

As he spoke, he actually started walking towards Song Enya, and the sexily-figured Song Enya immediately broke out in sweat. Her pupils almost shook like an earthquake, swallowing saliva in fear.

Among the men, Chen Feiyu's complexion grew even worse, with forehead visibly starting to sweat.

One person's choice caused eight people to be tense.

At this moment, Song Enya was wearing a black tank top that accentuated her figure, boasting an E cup that was enough to draw admiring gazes from everyone.

It's not just men who love to look, women also appreciate a great pair of assets!

Xu Qingyan had caught Shen Jinyue stealing glances at Song Enya's treasured assets more than once, and what's even worse, she even damned lowered her head to compare with her own.

Seeing that Xu Qingyan was truly walking toward Song Enya, the live commentary was flooded with curses, angrily denouncing Xu the dog for being lecherous and lowly. There were all kinds of insults, calling him fickle, a womanizer, a pig lusting after cabbages and so on.

In the Celebrity Observer's live room, Huang Miu was also discussing and analyzing with Chen Ming and others who Xu Qingyan might ultimately choose.

"I think he might unexpectedly choose Nian Shuyu, that girl might not talk much but she's fair-skinned and pretty, and most importantly, she has a gentle nature," Huang the Chef began to show off his IQ, sharing his unique insights.

"Xu Qingyan himself is also an amateur, and for him, Nian Shuyu has the most common topics to talk about. After all, living together for a whole day means eating, sleeping, going to the toilet - all chained together, choosing a female guest who's too different could easily lower her favorability."

"So, Huang Teacher means that distance creates beauty?" Chen Ming played the role of the straight man in the comedy.

"Right, that's our old saying," Huang Miu clapped his hands, "If I were Xu Qingyan, no matter who I liked, choosing the girl Nian Shuyu would be the most foolproof step."

"Even if they don't spark a romantic flame, at the very least the two, right, will get along harmoniously. If you bring a big star into the mix, you'll just feel uncomfortable."

"People need a sense of personal space, at least in the short term if you're forced to stick together, finding someone not too different and with common language is definitely right."

Hearing this, several celebrities in the observation room couldn't help but laugh in mutual understanding.

"I've noticed that Teacher Huang is not only talking about the show, why does it sound so much like the theory of marital matching?" Peony covered her mouth and laughed.

"This theory seems applicable to making friends too, you can only make friends with people in similar circumstances," Zhao Sisi said, "If the status gap is too big, it seems hard to become friends."

Liu Yuzhou hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help saying.

"Although that's what you say, I still think Xu Qingyan will ultimately choose Pei Muchan in the end."

"Normal people would feel psychological pressure, after all, it's an amateur living with a star," Huang Miu said, "Pei Muchan has a lot of fans, if you carelessly make a mistake... ts ts."

Liu Yuzhou did not rebut. Theoretically, what Huang Miu said was completely rational, but Xu Qingyan isn't normal!

In front of the camera, Xu Qingyan stood in front of Song Enya, and whispered something unclear. Song Enya's expression eased slightly, she nodded her head and actually smiled.

The live commentary was full of question marks, furiously typing, "Am I deaf? Where's the sound?"

"Get lost, Xu the dog is not worthy to approach the young lady!"

"Holy shit, Xu the dog seriously knows what the bros like, who doesn't love a big cup of bubble tea?"
