The Rebirth of a Top Star

After that day, the pace of the dating reality show quickened, and the eight people who remained at the end, except for Zhao Shuyue who was a bit timid, all became very good friends.

However, after returning from that date alone, Dou Shiyan would frequently appear by her side and do romantic things.

Sometimes he would blackmail Shen Nanqiao by saying that she hadn't eaten his breakfast before, but had eaten it afterward.

He always made Shen Nanqiao get up early to eat the breakfast that Dou Shiyan made.

Dou Shiyan openly lingered around Shen Nanqiao; everyone knew it. The director couldn't control Dou Shiyan and had advised him not to be so obvious, but he couldn't stop Dou Shiyan from sending money to the production team.

Is this the power of a domineering CEO? He solves things with money at the drop of a hat.

The helpless director could only turn a blind eye to Dou Shiyan's direct pursuit of Shen Nanqiao on the show.

Until the very last day, the show's rules were that it was a night for confessions, and everyone had one chance to confess, but could have multiple opportunities to keep their appointments.

If more than one person confesses their feelings to you, you can meet several of them at different times and finally choose one from them.

When Shen Nanqiao heard the news, she guessed that Dou Shiyan would choose her directly. In fact, Shen Nanqiao had asked Dou Shiyan privately if he didn't have a girl he liked on the show, so he was joking about her.

Dou Shiyan's explanation at the time was ambiguous, and Shen Nanqiao then took his confession as a joke, and even got used to it over time.

Shen Nanqiao opened her phone and, as expected, received a message from Dou Shiyan.

The production team said it was anonymous, but Dou Shiyan likes to be straightforward and unpretentious, so he introduced himself directly in the text message: "Hello, I am Dou Shiyan. I hope you can accept my invitation to go out and have fun tomorrow morning."

Dou Shiyan sent Shen Nanqiao a formal invitation, and Shen Nanqiao had no choice but to reply "okay."

She wasn't planning to make an appointment with anyone. Fortunately, the show didn't force her to choose. If one person had to make an appointment with each guest, Shen Nanqiao thought she might send the message back to Dou Shiyan.

Because everyone else is too easy to misunderstand, only the relationship between Dou Shiyan and Dou Shiyan was easier to explain later.

Shen Nanqiao received a second text message at the same time.

Shen Nanqiao didn't expect anyone to send her a message.

She had a gut feeling, and after opening it, she found that her gut feeling was right. Although there was no name written on it, Shen Nanqiao had spent a lot of time with him, so without much guessing, Shen Nanqiao knew that it was Gu Ning.

Gu Ning's text message had a scholarly air about it; he invited Shen Nanqiao to go out in the evening to watch the sunset together.

The two times were completely different. Shen Nanqiao didn't understand why Dou Shiyan always preferred to meet her early in the morning or forenoon. Shen Nanqiao hadn't officially asked Dou Shiyan about it yet.

Gu Ning was very considerate and gave the girl time to get ready.

In this respect, Dou Shiyan is indeed inferior to Gu Ning. Shen Nanqiao has never compared the two of them. They are both her friends, and if they were to confess their feelings to her, Shen Nanqiao would simply reject them and remain friends.

Therefore, there's no need to compare friends. However, viewers outside the show will compare the two, and even the four members of the show's production team will be compared.

However, the people being compared the most are Dou Shiyan and Gu Ning, because both of them like Shen Nanqiao and have similarities.

Some people think that Dou Shiyan is better than Gu Ning because Dou Shiyan has money and time, treats Shen Nanqiao well, and is quick and direct in confessing his feelings.

Another reason is that people feel Gu Ning is better than Dou Shiyan. Mainly because Dou Shiyan is also in the entertainment industry, so this kind of relationship wouldn't be tiring. In addition, Gu Ning can give Shen Nanqiao a better understanding.

Some people online have started giving examples: "If you were Dou Shiyan, and you saw your beloved woman kissing or getting to know another man better while filming a show or movie, would you be jealous?"

"Then Gu Ning won't be jealous?" "I don't believe it."

The online discussion was lively, but no one was Shen Nanqiao, and no one knew what Shen Nanqiao was thinking.

This is the last day of the show's live broadcast. The production team has already officially announced that tomorrow's confession day will be pre-recorded and broadcast online.

Shen Nanqiao was forced to get up very early the next day because, on the show, while the other female guests were there to find love, and even the androgynous Zheng Yiyi dressed herself up very properly every day, Shen Nanqiao only did whatever made her comfortable. Despite having such a great figure, she wore sportswear the most on the dating show.

A high ponytail and a tracksuit are surprisingly Shen Nanqiao's signature look.

During this time, Du Junyi, who occasionally watches dramas, has called Shen Nanqiao many times, telling her that since she is participating in the show, she should dress up nicely and show her best side.

Shen Nanqiao always agreed, but before leaving the house, she couldn't help but put on comfortable clothes, even though she wasn't really planning to come here to date.

She was dragged out of bed early in the morning by the show's makeup artist and stylist. After a month of getting to know each other, everyone was already quite familiar with each other, and everyone knew that Shen Nanqiao liked to stay in bed until the last hour.

This was common knowledge, so it wasn't surprising that Shen Nanqiao was pulled out of bed. Shen Nanqiao was still completely bewildered, wondering why and what was going on.

After being supervised to wash up and get ready, Shen Nanqiao was then seated and made to put on makeup. Only then did she realize that the production team was afraid she wouldn't want to do her makeup and dressing up for the last day of the show, so they simply took matters into their own hands.

Shen Nanqiao mumbled sleepily, having not drunk any water since waking up (unless, of course, the mouthful she swallowed while brushing her teeth didn't count). She asked, "Are you only doing my makeup, or are you doing makeup for all the guests?"

She was really curious whether others would also be pulled up.

While working on her makeup, the makeup artist answered Shen Nanqiao's question: "I guess you're the only one up right now."

Shen Nanqiao looked at the clock that had been on the wall from the beginning; it was only seven o'clock.

Shen Nanqiao was shocked. The two people she was helping were already fully made up and styled, but it was only seven o'clock.

Shen Nanqiao tried her best to open her eyes so she could do her eye makeup. "Is this the only treatment I get?" Shen Nanqiao asked quickly.

"And Dou Shiyan."

The older sister who was perming Shen Nanqiao's hair answered from behind.

Goodness, Shen Nanqiao also knew that one of them was the only one among everyone who didn't know how to wear makeup, while she was the one who would avoid wearing makeup if possible.

Knowing the whole story, Shen Nanqiao held her head up and let the makeup artist draw on her makeup.

An hour later, Shen Nanqiao's makeup and styling were completed simultaneously.

Shen Nanqiao wore a suit, consisting of shorts and a black cover-up. The two had originally wanted to persuade Shen Nanqiao to wear a dress, which would have been more formal.

Shen Nanqiao convinced the two of them with her ideas.

Shen Nanqiao guessed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dou Shiyan would definitely not choose an ordinary place to confess his feelings, so Shen Nanqiao felt that it would be safer for her to wear pants.

In case Dou Shiyan chooses some extreme sport, I can run faster.

Shen Nanqiao's guess was absolutely right. When Shen Nanqiao arrived at the large scenic area with Dou Shiyan's car, the words "Bungee Jumping" were written in big letters at the entrance. Shen Nanqiao froze on the spot for a moment. She asked Dou Shiyan, "You're not planning to take me bungee jumping, are you?" Shen Nanqiao knew that the feeling of palpitation and excitement at a height was the same, but she wondered if Dou Shiyan would really go for that.

Shen Nanqiao stood still and refused to move. If Dou Shiyan really said it was bungee jumping, Shen Nanqiao would turn around and walk back immediately.

She used to be unafraid of heights, but now, who knows, Shen Nanqiao definitely doesn't want to bungee jump.

Dou Shiyan reached out and pulled Shen Nanqiao back, saying, "Don't worry, you're definitely safe."

Dou Shiyan made a guarantee, and Shen Nanqiao was skeptical, but she continued walking, still not quite believing him.

Shen Nanqiao looks stunning today. It's not that she's not usually pretty, but rather that she's the only one today to have her full makeup done, making her look different from her usual beauty.

This was the first time Dou Shiyan had seen Shen Nanqiao in full makeup, a treatment she had never given him in their previous interactions. So today, he couldn't stop smiling. He had made all the preparations and arrangements himself, so how could he possibly back out just because Shen Nanqiao hesitated for a moment?

Dou Shiyan only thought that Shen Nanqiao was afraid of danger and didn't think much of it. The most popular activity in this scenic spot was bungee jumping, which was the place Dou Shiyan had long planned to confess his love.

Shen Nanqiao followed behind Dou Shiyan. As time went on, Shen Nanqiao realized that she was getting closer and closer to the bungee jump. She looked at Dou Shiyan in disbelief: "No way, you didn't really arrange this to be a bungee jump, did you?"

Dou Shiyan repeatedly emphasized that it was safe, and that it was definitely safe.

Shen Nanqiao reluctantly followed Dou Shiyan onto the bungee jumping platform. The higher they went, the more her legs trembled.

Ever since that bad experience at such a height, Shen Nanqiao had never stood in such a high place again. She had no idea whether she was afraid or not. Only now, standing here, did Shen Nanqiao realize that no matter how strong she was inside, no matter how much she told her body not to be afraid, her body was still trembling unconsciously.

This is a physical fear, and has nothing to do with how strong one's mind is.

Shen Nanqiao, in a daze, put on the safety suits with Dou Shiyan, her hands gripping the railing tightly.

Surrounded by flowers arranged by Dou Shiyan and tied to the railing, Shen Nanqiao was still unaware that the people standing around her were all staff members of the production crew, who were looking at her with smiles. But when Shen Nanqiao looked at their faces, it seemed as if they had grown terrifying horns.

The smile on his face slowly turned into a terrifying smile. Dou Shiyan reached out and asked Shen Nanqiao if she wanted to go first, but Shen Nanqiao's feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, and she was unwilling to move forward even one step.

She recalled the way she looked after falling from the building, the blood that flooded her corneas, and the shoes she couldn't see clearly, all far away, as if no one could save her.

Shen Nanqiao abruptly waved her hand, looking at Dou Shiyan who was staring at her. He was inviting her, but Shen Nanqiao refused, and her expression was very unpleasant.

Dou Shiyan finally snapped out of his perfect plan. He walked over to Shen Nanqiao and took her hand: "What's wrong? Do you want to sit over there for a while?"

The crew rushed over, and everyone chattered around Shen Nanqiao. Countless hands grabbed Shen Nanqiao's arms and pulled her away from the only opening where people could jump down.

Dou Shiyan knelt on one knee, looking at Shen Nanqiao's downcast face, "Are you feeling unwell, Qiaoqiao?" Dou Shiyan was now getting more and more comfortable calling her Qiaoqiao.

Shen Nanqiao kept her face down, ignoring Dou Shiyan.

Dou Shiyan's expression wasn't good either. He had thought he had arranged a wonderful experience, but he hadn't expected Shen Nanqiao to be afraid of heights.

Dou Shiyan specifically asked Shen Nanqiao's former roommates, who said that Shen Nanqiao used to love extreme sports, but it seemed that she had never participated in bungee jumping.

This is the process that led Dou Shiyan to decide on bungee jumping; he hadn't expected Shen Nanqiao to be this scared.

"Why don't we go down and not participate anymore?" Dou Shiyan looked at Shen Nanqiao's pale face and wanted to take her down and not participate anymore. It wouldn't matter if she didn't confess her feelings.

Shen Nanqiao seemed to have recovered. She looked up at Dou Shiyan with a determined look in her eyes: "I want to give it a try."

She can't let this one accident trap her for the rest of her life.

Shen Nanqiao really wanted to try, so she stood up again. At this moment, the staff protecting her slowly backed away. Shen Nanqiao stood next to the person in charge of bungee jumping and asked him, "How often do we change our safety ropes?"

Shen Nanqiao thought that she would definitely hear official words on the show. She only heard the person who had been standing to the side say, "Usually it is changed once a month, but this time it was changed because we found a problem. It was just changed not long ago."

The additional words that followed made Shen Nanqiao feel unsafe, even though the ropes binding her were very tight. There was a lake below, and even if the ropes fell in, Shen Nanqiao could at least swim.

Dou Shiyan stood behind Shen Nanqiao, looking at her with concern. He suggested, "How about I do it? You can stay up here and watch."

Dou Shiyan was genuinely frightened by Shen Nanqiao's expression just now.

"No need." Shen Nanqiao rejected Dou Shiyan's suggestion once again. Last time it was because he wanted to bungee jump, and this time it was because he wouldn't let her bungee jump.

Shen Nanqiao stared at the small opening, which became increasingly blurry in her eyes.

This seems to be more than just a bungee jumping entrance/exit.

Shen Nanqiao preferred to describe her feelings as: rebirth.
