FYN Chapter 6, First Match
Chapter 6, First Match
The butler's words left everyone stunned.
Immediately afterwards, everyone realized that this heart-fluttering journey had officially begun.
Although many people watch this show hoping to gain viewership, they are genuinely looking for a partner when it comes to dating.
A day is certainly enough time for each other to form an initial impression.
Ji Chengyu and the others all looked at Lu Zeyan, waiting for him to speak first. It seemed that in the group of male guests, everyone already regarded him as the leader.
Chen Yuan also noticed this. His experiences over the years had greatly improved his ability to read people's expressions and he had also realized that sometimes going with the flow is not a bad thing.
Since Ji Chengyu and the others all agree that Lu Zeyan should be the leader, he wouldn't be foolish enough to object and act independently.
Moreover, just as he returned to the villa's entrance, he received his second "loser" request.
There is only one requirement: the person you initiate conversation with must still be Zhang Jianjian.
Good heavens, they're really going to kill him!
Chen Yuan was initially a little confused, thinking that it meant he should just actively show contact with Zhang Jianjian in the upcoming itinerary, but now he realized what was going on.
This means he's going to have to compete with the other male guests!
Clearly, this matching process will not be as simple as one-on-one; some people will definitely be invited multiple times.
Chen Yuan didn't think Zhang Jianjian would be the only one left waiting for him to invite her.
Lu Zeyan glanced at the male guests but didn't offer his thoughts. After confirming that the butler had nothing more to say, he got up and walked towards the female guests present.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Zeyan with curiosity and nervousness.
Lu Zeyan walked towards Lin Wanxing and Zhang Jianjian, and everyone immediately began to speculate about who it could be.
"Would you be so kind as to invite me to join your team?" Lu Zeyan stopped in front of Zhang Jianjian and smiled.
"Huh, this is a bit unexpected."
"My son!"
Ji Chengyu and the others were somewhat surprised. Shen Zhici was a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to invite Zhang Jianjian, but seeing that Lu Zeyan had made the first move, he had to find another target.
The next moment, Shen Zhici also got up and walked towards Lu Zeyan's direction, which was obviously Lin Wanxing.
Seeing Shen Zhici also take action, Ji Chengyu and Jiang Yichen became uneasy. Of the remaining three, one walked towards Meng Shuran and the other towards Su Qingyuan.
Chen Yuan was in a complete mess. Logically speaking, he should have invited Xu Zhiyi, damn it!
Just bear with it, after all, it's 3.33 a day.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and stood up.
Immediately, everyone fell silent. For some reason, they all felt that Chen Yuan was going to do something, and they were all curious.
So much so that Zhang Jianjian, who was invited first, hadn't given his answer yet, but was looking at Chen Yuan curiously.
"He moved..."
"Hmm? He's walking towards me and Lin Wanxing?"
"Huh? He's standing in front of me!!!"
A flicker of panic crossed Zhang Jianjian's face as he blinked.
Lu Zeyan was stunned, looking at Chen Yuan standing beside him with a frown, but his good professionalism calmed him down, and he continued to ask, "Ms. Zhang, what is your answer?"
"Son, I'd like to invite you to be my partner," Chen Yuan said, following suit. He paused, then, recalling a line from a book he'd read that day, added, "After all, we've known each other longer, haven't we?"
Let's watch the drama unfold!
At this moment, the other female guests' gossip instincts were ignited, and for a moment they forgot that there were still male guests standing in front of them, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on with Zhang Jianjian.
Nothing is more interesting than watching the drama unfold live.
Zhang Jianjian stared in disbelief, her bright eyes filled with confusion. After a moment, she asked, "Have we known each other for a long time?"
"You could say that, didn't we meet at the entrance?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"..."
Zhang Jianjian's toes were gripping her sandals tightly. She wanted to roll her eyes, but the next moment, when her gaze swept between Lu Zeyan and Chen Yuan, she hesitated.
Upon seeing this, the director off-set quickly whispered to the cameraman next to him to give a close-up shot of the three of them.
Director Zhang was visibly excited. He had really made the right bet on the loser role. If Zhang Jianjian had chosen Chen Yuan in the first match, it would undoubtedly have been the first major highlight of the show!
However, the next moment, as Zhang Jianjian gave his answer, Director Zhang sighed regretfully.
"Thank you for your invitation. I choose Lu Zeyan," Zhang Jianjian said apologetically to Chen Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zeyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; his palms had been sweating.
"Thank you for your response. It's an honor to team up with you," Lu Zeyan said with a smile.
"Oh dear, what a pity!" Lin Wanxing muttered to herself, still hoping that Zhang Jianjian would accept Chen Yuan's invitation.
Seeing that the results were in, Lin Wanxing looked at Shen Zhici in front of her and replied, "Please guide me from now on."
On the other side, Ji Chengyu invited Meng Shuran, and Jiang Yichen invited Su Qingyuan.
Chen Yuan scratched his head awkwardly. What should he do now? Had he fulfilled the second requirement of being a "loser"?
He glanced at the other teams that had already been matched, then his gaze fell on Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi crossed her legs, propped her chin on one hand, and smiled slightly with a hint of amusement as she met Chen Yuan's gaze.
Today she was wearing black suit pants and stilettos, with her hair up in an updo, a typical look for a strong woman in movies.
Chen Yuan looked at her and smiled awkwardly. Xu Zhiyi really looked like Li Xin, especially in terms of temperament.
If you treat her as Li Xin, the sense of oppression seems to be much less.
However, Chen Yuan was unsure whether the person left out after the invitation failed would be automatically matched, so he turned his attention to the butler standing to the side.
Seeing this, the butler smiled and said, "Those who are alone will be automatically matched into a group, so the fifth group is guest Chen Yuan and guest Xu Zhiyi. Therefore, the five groups have been matched and we will begin drawing lots for the first contact location tonight."
"There are five locations in total: a Western restaurant, a treehouse restaurant, a private cliffside restaurant, a Cantonese restaurant, and a buffet restaurant. Each location will have a corresponding after-dinner activity."
"Now, female guests from each group, please come forward and draw the location for your team."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxing and the others got up and went to the butler, each drawing a black ball.
"We are a Western restaurant," Zhang Jianjian said to Lu Zeyan after seeing the note.
"This is a Cantonese restaurant," Lin Wanxing said.
"I'm a treehouse restaurant?" Meng Shuran was somewhat surprised and very curious about this treehouse restaurant.
"Ugh, I'm at the buffet." Su Qingyuan was speechless, having drawn the easiest option.
"Then we'll be a cliffside restaurant," Xu Zhiyi said calmly to Chen Yuan, opening the black ball in her hand.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan was somewhat excited. This variety show was great; the food, drinks, and entertainment were all free, and of course, there were beautiful women to accompany you. Even if the other party was cold, it would still increase your appetite.
