After Participating In A Love Show, Everyone Was Addicted To Cp Chapter 7
byChapter 7
Inside the small courtyard, the guests who had already arrived were chatting casually. Outside, Duan Xianzhi, who had rushed over, ran into Ji Chenshi. They soon appeared before the cameras, and with that, the four groups of guests for Love Journey were successfully assembled.
Listening to the progress of the schedule through his earpiece, Luo Yan looked at his cue cards with a smile he couldn’t hide.
Cough, first of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully gathering! There’s no need to rush the pleasantries; you’ll have plenty of time to interact later. That’s because what I’m about to announce is the recording mode for this episode, and indeed the entire season: the Team Confrontation System!
As the name suggests, the guests will automatically be grouped together. You will share the glory and the loss, and the ones you’ll be up against is our production team!
Now, some might ask, aren’t we a romance observation variety show? Why are we fighting the production team? Well, that’s what makes Love Journey unique. Most romance shows use a model of observer commentary plus celebrity performances to analyze various emotional patterns. But in Love Journey, you all are the performers and the observers at the same time.
Here, you can use the most intimate methods to observe and experience the performance of different partners at various stages of love. Whether you find differences or feel like you’re looking in a mirror, this is the subject you’ll need to help and understand each other through.
Enough talk, let’s get to the practice. We’re heading straight into our theme: the Room Selection Mini-Game!
Inside the villa behind me, more than 200 word tags are hidden. These are personal labels we’ve collected from the internet and from your friends and family. Guests need to find these tags within the time limit and stick them onto the corresponding guest. You get 1 point for a correct tag, and no points for an incorrect one. The person with the highest score will get priority in choosing their room!
While Luo Yan was introducing the game, the staff simultaneously helped the guests put on specially prepared sticker vests.
Of course, where there are rewards, there are punishments. In the final tally, if any guest in a team has fewer than three correct tags on them, then please look over here. I hear the starry sky by the sea is one of the local specialties!
Following Luo Yan’s gesture, everyone saw a pile of tents and various mosquito repellent supplies set aside. The production team’s determination was clear.
Question: what is the time limit for the game? As a variety show expert, Ji Chenshi adapted quickly and asked as soon as the host finished announcing the rules.
One hour! Luo Yan replied with a beaming smile while looking at his cue cards.
There’s definitely a conspiracy inside that house! Upon receiving the answer, Ji Chenshi immediately leaned in toward the others and whispered.
True. From the outside, the villa covers a large area. If it were just a simple search, it shouldn’t take this much time. There must be some kind of obstructive mechanism, Pei Yifan said as he finished putting on his vest, offering his own judgment.
So, should we come up with a strategy? Pei Yifan looked up at Shen Xuan, waiting for his response.
As the biggest star on set, Director Shen Xuan had somehow become the core of the group as soon as the show’s mechanics were revealed.
Wait, I just came here for a romance show, not to be a commander, okay? Feeling everyone’s gaze, Shen Xuan shook his head helplessly. Don’t worry too much about the senior-junior hierarchy. Everyone just be natural. Let’s… play it by ear for now. After all, we don’t know much about the situation inside the house yet…
As a variety show novice experiencing the fast-paced atmosphere of a recording for the first time, Xia Zhou was currently a bit nervous and a bit excited. He silently built up his mental resolve, his only goal being not to hold everyone back!
Are you ready, everyone? The countdown is starting! 3—2—1, start!
As the countdown on the virtual light screen ended, everyone immediately sprang into action.
I see one!
As the first person to rush into the living room, Ji Chenshi’s sharp eyes spotted a tag hidden behind a lampshade.
Hehe, this will only take a second…
Snap!
Accompanied by a cry of “Ouch,” a broadcast suddenly rang out inside the house.
Ji Chenshi, out! Ji Chenshi, out! Eliminated members please head to the punishment room by the pool. You may only return to the competition site after completing your task. Eliminated members…
Seeing Ji Chenshi’s speechless expression and his sleeves sprayed in a multicolored mess of fluorescent glitter, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Hahaha, you sure set the example quickly! If you do that a few more times, you’ll look like you fell into a paint bucket! Seeing Ji Chenshi’s miserable state, Chu Yue didn’t even try to hide it and laughed directly at him.
Thank you for your hard work! This was a righteous consolation from the great lawyer Han Wenxuan.
Ji Chenshi stood up indignantly, then met the concerned gazes of Xia Zhou and Ling Le.
Does that hurt when it hits you? Zhouzhou, why don’t you let me grab all the cards!
Brother Ji, does this trap always trigger when you get a card? Is there any way to avoid it?
Heh.
The last scoff came from his own partner.
Walking resentfully toward the punishment room outside, Ji Chenshi slapped Duan Xianzhi’s abs hard as he passed him.
This is… pure venting.
Looking at the Dunce tag stuck to his vest, Duan Xianzhi raised an eyebrow and gave a doting smile.
Showing off…
Showing off my foot! The cards have a countdown! Figure it out yourselves! Glaring at his friend, Ji Chenshi waved his hand and walked away with great flair.
Caught off guard by the two of them flirting, Chu Yue pulled Han Wenxuan straight to the second floor. Ling Le, who had also witnessed the scene, had his eyes light up with excitement.
Don’t worry, Zhouzhou! I’ll go find them for you right now! I promise to cover you in stickers!
Wait, no, you’re supposed to stick them on the right… person, Xia Zhou started to say, but Ling Le’s excited figure had already disappeared at the end of the hallway.
If you don’t mind, shall we team up? Anyway, these Sentinels can’t sit still… just let them run wild. Seeing Xia Zhou suddenly left alone, Shen Xuan offered an invitation.
Haha, alright. It wasn’t until Shen Xuan got closer that Xia Zhou vaguely sensed the other’s identity as a Guide. While silently marveling at the other’s hiding skills, Xia Zhou happily accepted the invitation.
You should be A-grade, right? Watching Xia Zhou go from cautious testing at the start to flexibly using mental tentacles to bypass traps and knock cards down, Shen Xuan reached a conclusion from the side.
Yes, my comprehensive evaluation is A-grade. Xia Zhou answered Shen Xuan’s question obediently.
Xia Zhou picked up a card from the floor. The moment he held it, the card instantly changed color.
Director Shen, is this convenient?
Looking at the three-minute countdown in the top left corner of the card, Xia Zhou gestured that he wanted to stick the tag on Shen Xuan.
Shouldn’t this be stuck on you instead? Seeing the word Beauty on the card, Shen Xuan teased.
Me? Hearing Shen Xuan mention him, Xia Zhou shook his head and said seriously, I think Director Shen is much more suitable!
Zhouzhou!
A cheerful voice rang out behind the two of them.
Then came the sound of a sprint. Before Xia Zhou could even turn around, pat-pat-pat, he felt three light taps on his back.
Hey, did you even look properly at… hm? Before he could finish, Xia Zhou was nudged by a happy Ling Le.
Watching that joyful departing figure, Xia Zhou thought of Ling Le’s Spirit Animal again. To please Snowball, the Samoyed’s silhouette running back into the house to find toys was just as full of joy.
I’ve heard that if large dog breeds don’t get enough daily exercise, they’ll start tearing up the house.
True.
Hearing Shen Xuan’s comment, Xia Zhou couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Withdrawing his gaze from Ling Le, Xia Zhou, who had been nudged for no reason, seemed to have been infected by the happy mood and relaxed quite a bit.
Plucking up his courage, he quickly stuck the tag in his hand onto Shen Xuan, then immediately turned around to change the subject. Can you help me see what Ling Le stuck on me? If I have fewer than three correct tags, I’ll have to sleep on the beach.
Helplessly looking at the label on himself, Shen Xuan looked up and behind Xia Zhou.
Gentle. Amazing. Fragrant and Soft.
I suppose in his eyes, everything is perfectly justified.
Justified? What do you mean? Did he stick something ridiculous on me? Left in suspense, Xia Zhou could only keep twisting his head, trying hard to look at his own back.
Chu Yue, out! Han Wenxuan, out! Eliminated members please head to the punishment room by the pool. You may only return to the competition site after completing…
The sudden broadcast interrupted their conversation. It seemed this task was quite challenging for ordinary people. Considering the time the eliminated members spent in the punishment room and the countdown on the cards, Xia Zhou and Shen Xuan exchanged a look and immediately got moving.
However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes. As time passed, scenes of people holding cards but unable to find their targets, people rushing into the punishment room to find someone for a specific tag, and people grabbing anyone and sticking tags on them because the countdown was running out played out in every corner of the villa.
They’ve gone wild, they’ve gone wild…
In the camera shots, the scenes were sometimes crowded and sometimes chaotic. The guests, who had gone wild, operated on the belief that it was better to tag a thousand people wrongly than to let one go. Even Luo Yan, who was just there to watch the fun, had a few labels forcibly pressed onto him.
Throughout the entire task, the only happy ones were probably the production team sitting in the monitoring room. Watching the various hilarious and iconic scenes recorded by the floating cameras, Director Yang was practically blooming with laughter.
Especially at the end of the task, seeing that they already had plenty of footage, the mischief-loving production team added a new rule. In the final ten minutes, they closed the punishment room and simultaneously lit up the correct labels on the guests. The scene instantly fell into chaos again.
Ahhh, Yue-zai, what’s wrong with you? You only have two correct labels!
What!? I don’t want to go camping on the beach! Go find more, quick!!!
It’s probably because you went to the punishment room the most, so I could never find you.
Is now the time to analyze that?! Move!
Can I take the wrong labels off me and give them to you?
Really? I can’t pull them off!
Yifan.
Got it, I’ll go look.
Brother Pei, I’ll go with you!
Watching the guests’ joyful interactions through the lens, Director Yang nodded with satisfaction and prepared to move on to the next segment.
