Chapter 903 - 902: If Brother Huai Wanted to Fall in Love

The camera had to move up a bit to capture her sitting on Cheng Zhirang’s shoulders, her legs held tightly by him.

The two of them were drenched, Mu Qiu had one hand on Cheng Zhirang’s head and the other on his neck, barely steadying herself, her thighs slightly suspended, held firmly by Cheng Zhirang’s strong arms, making it look like she was sitting on his arm, raised quite high.

She was shaking her head to fling off the water, blinking as the pool water made her eyes sting slightly.

Water dripped from her chin onto Cheng Zhirang.

Not only did the camera catch a close-up, but Guan Yu and the others immediately burst into strange shrieks.

"Your love is blinding me!"

"Brother Cheng is so manly!"

"Oh wow~ Tsk tsk tsk—"

Mu Qiu suddenly burst into a bright laugh, her face radiant. Because of Cheng Zhirang’s height, she was moved from shadow to light, her fair face shimmering with water and pure eyes, her bright smile curving her brows and eyes, the combination made her dazzlingly stunning.

She laughed freely and naturally, the lemon-print fresh strap matching her fair skin, almost glowing in the sunlight.

There are no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, of all types, but only a few really stand out—like bright red roses that strike you as beautiful at first sight; demure serene orchids; and vibrant energetic lilies.

But it seems there’s never been a girl like this—bright, sensible, deadpan funny, straightforward.

Her laugh was too dazzling, like...like what?

Like a daisy discovered suddenly around a corner in the warmth of an old street; like a sunflower stretching to the sun expansively across the plains; like pink-purple fleabane sprouting after rain, dew chilling the petals, yet wholeheartedly growing toward the fierce sun above.

All things in the world describe her, she blends into the beauty of the world.

Outside the main camera, a photographer had snapped at least ten shots of them.

Cheng Zhirang initially couldn’t wipe away the water on his face, both hands ensuring Mu Qiu’s safety, his closed eyes and forehead water wetting his thick lashes, a bit irritating. Once assured she was steady, he freed a hand to wipe his face, supported her thigh and placed her on the inflatable boat.

"Are you alright?"

Mu Qiu’s mood was inexplicably great, her lips curled upwards as she nodded to him.

Her look made people’s hearts soften, Cheng Zhirang touched her hair, pushing the inflatable boat further into the pool.

Not yet pushed far, Mu Qiu jokingly said, "Brother Huai I felt it, earlier you put in the most effort! You’re in trouble, I tell you, if there’s more fun later, I will definitely get revenge!"

Shi Yuhuai was uninterested, seemingly dismissive of her small stature: "Go ahead."

Guan Yu snapped out of that stunning moment, stirring up trouble eagerly: "Whoa! Brother Huai is so arrogant!"

Shi Yuhuai was too lazy to respond, anyone with ears could tell, the arrogance in those exchanges was clearly Mu Qiu’s.

They climbed onto the inflatable boat again, Guan Yu and Shu Ran sitting behind Mu Qiu, whispering some intriguing questions.

"Was being lifted by Brother Cheng thrilling? That scene was too fierce."

Mu Qiu’s face couldn’t hide her smile, yet she pretended to be serious: "It was okay."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that tone, I bet you’re overjoyed."

She pouted smugly, shaking her head joyfully, obviously very happy.

The director didn’t mind them, the earlier act was already exciting enough. Sunlight, a pool, handsome men and beautiful women, truly eye-catching.

"Alright, next we look at question six. If Brother Huai were to date, which type of girl do you think he would prefer?"

A: Cold Queen type

B: Gentle and domestic type

C: Cute and energetic type

D: Sharp-tongued proud type

E: He’s more suited to remain single

Seeing this question, Guan Yu and the others burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, which viewers are so savage?!"

"Everyone knows it’s a hypothetical, knowing it’s probably hard to achieve hahahaha!"

"Oh wow, isn’t the answer obviously E? Any objections?"

Shi Yuhuai felt exasperated.

Li Yang was having a laugh too, winking and asking: "Brother Huai, this is the program subtly matchmaking for you, explain your preferred type and maybe you’ll get to date after the show."

Cheng Zhirang raised a brow and said: "Do you want to win or subjectively describe the type you like?"

But was this question really asking him to describe his preferred type? It’s clearly meant for the viewers, would their answers be the same as his?

...Moreover, he had no answer.

He’s not keen on the question, but others were eager.

Mu Qiu was most excited: "In a story, wouldn’t Brother Huai’s character be a straight-faced smart-aleck who doesn’t understand romance? Let me think, if you add an aloof noble female lead, the plot would likely be Brother Huai turning into a loyal puppy.

If adding a gentle domestic type, the plot might end up with him stifling himself wishing to date but being gently rejected. If a cute energetic type, Brother Huai would have to mature from straight man. If the female lead is also sharp-tongued, it’s what everyone loves – the pursuit leading to a heartbreaking downfall—"

"But overall, E still seems best."

Li Yang: "Pffft hahahahaha!"

All that analysis just to show Shi Yuhuai is more suited to stay single, really riling the person concerned.

Shu Ran glanced at Shi Yuhuai’s expression, thoroughly satisfied.

Guan Yu saw Li Yang laughing naively, immediately raised her hand yelling the answer: "We pick..."

"E! We pick E!"

Just a smidge too late, Cheng Zhirang got out the answer first.

Guan Yu sighed, blaming herself for not yelling the answer upon seeing the options, choosing to mock first, and now they have to get in the water.

Still prepared to lose, they were determined to keep their mocking skills sharp.

"Brother Cheng, so you also think Brother Huai is best suited to remain single?"

Shu Ran added: "Brother Huai, don’t feel bad, Brother Cheng is just being honest, saying it like it is."

Then the three sighed in unison: "Seems Brother Huai’s image really is deeply rooted as suited to stay single."

Shi Yuhuai: "......"

A vein throbbed on his forehead.

"It’s okay, getting you all sunk requires some sacrifice." He’s expressionless, but the tone was gritted.

Mu Qiu nodded: "A big sacrifice indeed, see how Li Yang is moved to laughter. Then we’ll pick D, the pursuit leading to a heartbreaking downfall is a favorite melodramatic plot point of many viewers, just maybe many viewers share my quirky taste, wanting to see Brother Huai in the pursuit leading to a heartbreaking downfall."
