Chapter 164
Director Niu pondered for a long time on how to make this final party truly unique.
After some thought, he came to a conclusion:
Have the most glamorous guests appear on the most luxurious red carpet wearing the plainest pajamas.
A massive prank—perfectly executed!
Director Niu instructed the producer to cut to close-ups of each guest, giving the audience a detailed look at their expressions after being pranked.
At a glance, there were looks of shock, confusion, embarrassment, despair, and even one person sleeping on the floor.
Wait—sleeping on the floor?!
“Teacher Xie! Wake up immediately! Teacher Xie! Wake up immediately! The filming set is not outside the law; do not relieve yourself or nap anywhere! Do not relieve yourself or nap anywhere!”
Director Niu’s little “alarm bees” went off like sirens.
Xie Mi, sleeping soundly on the red carpet, slowly sat up, her eyes vacant as if she had just woken from a deep trance.
“Huh? Is the final party over?”
“It hasn’t even started!!”
As expected, the prank hit Teacher Xie squarely.
[From the first day of filming to the final party, still this crazy—I really admire Teacher Xie’s consistency.]
[From start to finish, all about seeing it through.]
[Unknowingly, I’ve been a fan of Teacher Xie for 28 days, sobbing… so emotional.]
“Alright, guests, please enter in order and take your seats at the end of the red carpet. The first-phase final party of Love Observation officially begins!”
With the soft sound of a cello, the pajama-clad guests stepped onto the red carpet one by one, walking with all the elegance of formalwear.
As a phenomenal national variety show, each guest had gained unprecedented popularity since the show aired.
The live streams were packed with viewers, and the comment sections were flooded with supportive messages in full color.
It was dazzling.
Trending topics kept appearing:

The last one made Director Niu feel insulted, but he was satisfied with the immense popularity and used the momentum to start the final party.
“In the blink of an eye, 28 days have passed.”
“During these 28 days, the eight guests ate and lived together, broke their social comfort zones, got to know each other closely, and their relationships reached a qualitative leap.”
“After these 28 days together, what would you like to say to the other guests?”
“We asked each guest to write seven letters in advance, expressing what they wanted to say to each of the others.”
“Next is the letter-reading segment!”
As Director Niu finished speaking, the assistant presented a thick stack of letters, placing them in front of each guest.
“Let’s read them in order. Yu, please start with the letters you wrote to each guest.”
As the last guest to join, Yu Jinzhe had the least time with everyone.
In each letter, he expressed his regret that their time together had been short but beautiful, while also looking forward to the next filming. He thanked and sent blessings to each person.
When it came to Xie Mi, he added one extra line:
“Sister, can I come to your house to play after filming?”
That one word “still” was clever.
Packed with information, it immediately sparked speculation. Not only did the audience go wild, but even the staff on-site perked up.
Xie Mi replied:
“If you come, I’ll accuse you of breaking and entering.”
Yu Jinzhe: “?”
[OK, stop guessing, nothing’s happening with these two.]
[Brother Jinzhe has been consistent: first day confession rejected, final party confession rejected—every response a rejection.]
[Brother Jinzhe is too obedient; next time he should try the dark route. A dark little dog is way more exciting than a pure little puppy.]
[No dog can help—Teacher Xie rejects all.]
[Hahaha, guaranteed rejection.]
Next was Qiu Chengye.
In his usual self-assured style, his letters were filled with instruction rather than praise or gratitude, mostly saying things like “You’re not good enough” or “You need to improve.”
But his letter to Xie Mi was far simpler:
“Xie Mi…”
He hesitated, then honestly said:
“Not bad.”
Those two words were the highest praise from “Kitty bro.”
[From start to finish, cowardly but consistent—seeing it through.]
[Father-son bond is strong, can’t help calling him Dad.]
[Can Brother Qiu still behave like a human after the show?]
[Before the show: arrogant guy. After the show: what a dork.]
[You know it.]
Next was Lai Bingxuan.
True to her spoiled heiress personality, her letters were concise:
“Yu Jinzhe, don’t know him, who is this?”
“Liu Woxing, fine, but talks too slowly, impatient to listen.”
“Shen Yiqing, good guy.”
“Xiao Jingxi, who?”
“Qiu Chengye, idiot.”
“Xu Shuangrong, go away, annoying.”
“Xie Mi, always likes bossing around, but efficient and useful. I’ll ask you next time I have work.”
Xie Mi immediately perked up: “At your service, old servant reporting!”
[Who says there are no servants in the new era?]
[I really envy this!]
[Doing small tasks and getting tens of thousands, who wouldn’t love it? Heiress still need servants?]
[Sister Lai’s generosity is also consistent.]
Next was Xiao Jingxi.
As a celebrated actor, his every word and action attracted attention. His letters were obviously written by his company’s copywriting team overnight.
When he read them aloud, they conveyed sincerity while subtly displaying talent, occasionally quoting poetry, earning applause from the staff.
While Xiao Jingxi smiled as everyone complimented him politely, Xie Mi mercilessly teased him, pointing at him and Shen Yiqing laughing together:
“Look, Mr. Pretentious is pretending again, hahaha…”
Xiao Jingxi barely held back his smile: “?”
[Help, why do I also think he’s pretentious hahaha]
[This show really changes appearances—he used to be handsome, now he looks more pretentious.]
[Who was talented enough to give him the nickname ‘Mr. Pretentious’? Perfect match hahaha.]
[Gold shines anywhere, XiaoBrother Xiao pretends anywhere [heart]]
[Hahaha]
Xiao Jingxi’s reputation suffered, though it had already been suffering.
“Next is Teacher Xu.”
As Director Niu spoke, a momentary silence fell.
As a guest who had faced a character crisis toward the end of the show, Xu Shuangrong had been the center of recent controversy.
How she would express her thoughts to the other guests was genuinely anticipated.
