Chapter 203
After Liu Woxing finished speaking, the PD didn’t know how to respond.
She didn’t know what story had happened in Liu Woxing’s life, so she couldn’t fully understand the meaning behind those words.
But as Liu Woxing’s dedicated PD, who had followed her filming since last season, she had a very good impression of this young lady with no airs about her.
Even though she didn’t know what exactly had changed in Liu Woxing, when she saw those eyes that seemed to shine with light, she genuinely felt happy for her.
“Teacher Liu, jiayou. Being yourself is a wonderful thing.”
Liu Woxing’s expression shifted slightly.
She had always thought it would be difficult to say these words in front of the public, but when she really spoke them out loud, she realized—it wasn’t difficult at all.
As long as she didn’t care, nothing could affect her.
On the barrage, many people were still criticizing her outfit and her words, even calling for the Liu family to discipline her. But she no longer cared.
“Mm, I will.”
Her radiant smile bloomed, like a flamboyant red rose.
No one could dictate her life.
The scene cut to Shen Yeqing’s room.
Unlike the others, his room had no elaborate clothes or cosmetics, nor assistants bustling around helping him prepare before filming.
The room was clean and simple—besides a few clothes hanging in the wardrobe, a computer and books on the desk, there were no other items.
Shen Yeqing lounged lazily on the sofa by the window, greeting the staff as they came in.
“Long time no see.”
[Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh]
[Old Shen, long time no see!!!!]
[Damn it, this is literally my husband!]
[Let Xiao Jingxi come look—this is what true effortless charisma looks like. Temperament is not something you can fake.]
Shen Yeqing wore a simple white shirt, yet his aura was utterly refined. His long neck, distinct knuckles, every gesture carried elegance with a hint of sensuality.
The PD asked a pre-prepared question:
“This season, the games and interactions will be completely upgraded, and the romance arcs may change. Last season, many arrows were pointing at Teacher Xie. May I ask, Mr. Shen, do you feel any sense of crisis?”
Shen Yeqing’s fingers paused briefly as he flipped a page, then the corner of his lips curled into a soul-stealing smile.
“They can’t win against me.”
That was the confidence of the rightful main spouse.
[Aaaaaahhh I thought Old Shen would at least be tactful, but he straight-up answered head-on—this is basically an open declaration!!]
[Old Shen has always been an open arrow towards Old Xie!!]
[This line is killing me]
[This is the kind of competitive tension I live for!]
[Old Shen: As long as I live, you’ll always just be concubines]
[It’s over! My husband and my husband look like they’re about to be together!!]
[Xie × Shen ship, I’m all in this season!!!]
Meanwhile, Xie Mi also met with her PD.
As a special guest with unique treatment, her filming team had two extra staff compared to the others—bodyguards.
This was to prevent uncontrollable situations if Xie Mi suddenly had a seizure. Director Niu had customized her entire team for this.
In order for Xie Mi to relax and fully engage in the dating show this season, Director Niu really spared no expense.
The moment the door opened, the PD held up a warning sign.
“Teacher Xie! Please look here!”
The sign had a picture of a wetsuit with a huge red X marked across it—meaning wetsuits were forbidden.
Xie Mi, who was just pulling a wetsuit from her wardrobe: “?”
The PD smirked mischievously.
“Sorry, Teacher Xie. Even though today’s entire schedule is at the water park, wetsuits are banned.”
[Yes! YES!!]
[The moment I saw Teacher Xie holding a wetsuit, my vision went black. Director Niu finally did something decent this time.]
[Ol——d X——ie——I——miss——you——so——much]
[If she wants to wear it, let her wear it]
[Aaaah Teacher Xie is still so beautiful, who understands? Ever since Old Shen’s vlog, I now see Teacher Xie through a girlfriend-filter, sob sob]
[After a whole season, Director Niu finally got smarter—he can now predict Old Xie’s next move]
Xie Mi looked at the wetsuit in her hand, thought for two seconds, then shoved it back into the closet.
Under the PD’s satisfied gaze, she pulled out a floral shirt and oversized shorts.
The PD: “?”
[He predicted correctly, but now what?]
[Director Niu is still too shallow]
Five minutes later, Xie Mi strolled out of the bathroom in the floral shirt and big shorts, plopped casually onto the sofa, and announced:
“OK, I’m ready.”
The PD’s heart bled. “Teacher Xie, are you really not going to wear a swimsuit?”
The reason Director Niu set the first day’s shoot at a water park was precisely to encourage skinship among the swimsuit-wearing guests, sparking ambiguous chemistry.
But Xie Mi’s oversized shorts had just shattered all of his fantasies.
“Isn’t today outdoor games?”
Xie Mi looked at the PD with suspicion. “If we’re playing games, isn’t a swimsuit inconvenient? What if I lose?”
[Good good good, very good]
[There is no dating show, but the games must be won]
[I’m truly an old fan—Old Xie’s answer doesn’t even surprise me anymore]
[No lies detected! Crush every male guest! Winning is all that matters!!]
[Oh no, I really see Old Xie through a girlfriend-filter now—even dressed like this, she’s gorgeous!!]
[Even if it’s just a floral shirt and shorts, her face is stunning!]
[Isn’t this just beach-vacation fashion? I think it’s super pretty!]
[Thankfully it’s not last time’s “South Sea native” look. Thank goodness…]
Although she wore a floral shirt and big shorts, her makeup and hairstyle were still styled by Diao Mao.
Her slightly wavy hair was tied into a refreshing ponytail, with two strands framing her cheeks for atmosphere. Her skin was porcelain-smooth, her lips moist and glossy, her bright eyes like shimmering autumn water—altogether giving off a breezy seaside-vacation vibe.
That seemingly ordinary floral shirt only made her look even more lively and radiant.
The PD, stunned by her beauty, decided to let it go.
As long as it wasn’t the full-black wetsuit, as long as it wasn’t the dark-skinned hot-girl look, as long as Teacher Xie didn’t do her own makeup… all was fine.
“Teacher Xie, what expectations do you have for yourself this season?”
“Expectations?”
Xie Mi thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly stood up and shouted furiously:
“I will absolutely become the all-around champion of this season!!”
The PD was so startled she fell off the sofa.
This isn’t a competition show, hello!!!
