Cheng Nianzhi didn't ignore the comment: "Because I have a schedule this week, what if Li Ruan chooses someone else next week if I don't make things clear to her now?" Cheng Nianzhi answered seriously.

"I still want to team up with her."

"Is there anything wrong with being honest about yourself in order to fulfill your wish?" Cheng Nianzhi's words were gentle yet firm.

[Waaaaah, I don't know if Lu Liruan falls for this, but I really love it!]

[Yeah! If you like someone and care about them, just be open and honest! I feel like I've been manipulated by some celebrities. They hide their relationships, and when they're photographed together, they deny it in every way. What's the point? Is admitting you're attracted to someone so shameful?]

What was said earlier is absolutely right!

[Perhaps because they're so open and honest, as a fan of A-Zhi, I don't feel uncomfortable at all...]

[Because Ah Zhi never creates a persona for himself! I remember in an interview a long time ago, Ah Zhi said that he hoped to find someone he couldn't take his eyes off, someone he wanted to stay by his side no matter what.]

The number of viewers in Lu Liruan's live stream skyrocketed, to the point where the numbers were no longer visible.

"Huh? What happened? Did all the other live streams shut down? Then I'll shut mine down too!"

You really don't miss any opportunity to slack off! Wake up!

[Can an artsy guy and a funny girl really have a future together? I usually worry that male celebrities are jerks, but you guys...]

[Lu Liruan, you promise me you'll never let Ah Zhi down, waaaaah! Our Ah Zhi isn't just good-looking with beautiful legs, not just pretty with a pretty face, our Ah Zhi...]

Don't break Ah Zhi down into parts and try to sell him off!!

Lu Liruan was confused by what they were saying: They seemed very excited. How could they sleep if they were so excited in the middle of the night?

Finally, the comments section started flooded with the same sentence:

Please, just stay with Ah Zhi next week!

……

Lu Liruan was a little dumbfounded; all the sleepiness she had just managed to muster vanished. Cheng Nianzhi had offered to be in her group?

Wait a minute... In the Wish World timeline, during the second week's team formation, due to the conflict between Shi Jingyun and Fu Tingshen, Shi Jingyun ultimately chose Cheng Nianzhi.

Cheng Nianzhi then spent that week preparing a surprise for Shi Jingyun.

Shi Jingyun is a thoughtful person who never procrastinates. Faced with Cheng Nianzhi's actions, she guessed his feelings for her and told him frankly and earnestly that her feelings for him were just those of a friend and that there was no romantic relationship between them.

Cheng Nianzhi did not pester her, which is one of the reasons why Lu Liruan had a good impression of him.

Many people tend to ignore the other person's rejection and insist on continuing to pursue them in order to show their deep affection.

But this isn't actually doing the other person any good; it's just clumsy self-pity, and most of the time it only causes trouble for them.

After hearing Shi Jingyun's words, Cheng Nianzhi expressed his feelings freely and then stopped bothering her, maintaining a good sense of propriety and distance, and burying his feelings deep in his heart.

Even though Shi Jingyun was the one being liked, she couldn't sense his intense yet suppressed feelings; she only considered him a good friend, until the very end...

This was a very important emotional expression between Shi Jingyun and Cheng Nianzhi. Why would Cheng Nianzhi want to be in a group with her?

It was probably just out of politeness, right?

Lu Liruan felt that Cheng Nianzhi, being a gentle person, would definitely consider things thoroughly and not leave any room for gossip.

"Really? Hahahaha, thank you for your leniency, Nianzhi. If we can still be together next week, I'll try my best to hold him back, albeit gently." Lu Liruan pretended to pat the muscles on her arm.

"I heard there's a mission to go out next week, so I've decided to train hard this week and use my brilliant mind and imposing physique to make you all fall for me!"

Honey, you're getting better and better at talking nonsense...

[Ms. Lu, could you please just be a silly, beautiful woman and conquer the world with your looks? Because I have absolutely no trust in your actions.]

There's no more lawn for you to play with!

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up! In order to have enough energy to train my body tomorrow, I've decided to replenish my energy through sleep now! Goodnight everyone!"

【Ugh! All you're really trying to do is run away!】

The real-time comments were still scrolling by rapidly, and Lu Liruan's live stream screen had already turned black in an instant.

Lu Liruan fell asleep easily, but her sleep was restless. In her dream, she was trapped in a dark vortex, and she heard a voice in her ear: "You belong to me, and can only belong to me..."

"No, who are you?"

"I'm the one who loves you the most... Hehehe." The voice was beautiful, yet it had a viscous and eerie quality that seemed to emanate from the depths of an abyss.

"No, no, let me go!" Lu Liruan tried to break free.

"Don't try to get rid of me, my love. You'll know who I am when you fall in love with me. Don't be afraid, I will never hurt you..."

"Whoosh—" The moment the sound disappeared, Lu Liruan opened her eyes.

He was panting heavily. The feeling of being unable to move at all had disappeared, but his limbs were numb and weak.

I turned my head with difficulty, and outside the spacious floor-to-ceiling window, there was a sunrise with pale blue and fiery red hues.

Lu Liruan reached up and touched her forehead, feeling a fine layer of cold sweat. Her heart was pounding, and the feeling of fear and trembling lingered for a long time.

At the same time, Cheng Nianzhi next door also opened his eyes from his sleep, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

The lingering sensation of touching reality in his dream remained on his fingertips, and a slight smile curved his lips: it seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Lu Liruan looked at herself in the mirror and found it strange. Although she hadn't slept well, her complexion was inexplicably beautiful, and her skin had a delicate pinkish hue.

With her hair in a bun, Lu Liruan slipped on a casual outfit and went downstairs. Even though the clothes were just ordinary black and white, Lu Liruan tugged at the pink pom-pom on her hoodie: She couldn't escape it after all…

Cheng Nianzhi was still in the kitchen. When he looked at Lu Liruan, he returned to his usual demeanor.

"Did you sleep well?"

"It was alright, I had a dream last night." Lu Liruan skipped around, pinched a piece of crispy bacon in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling as she spoke.

"Oh? What did you dream about? Can you tell me about it?"

Lu Liruan puffed out her cheeks and froze. In that instant, Lu Liruan felt that Cheng Nianzhi's voice was very similar to the one in her dream.

It wasn't a real resemblance; Lu Liruan couldn't remember the voice after waking up, but for some reason, she just felt...

"What's wrong? Was it a nightmare?" Cheng Nianzhi put down the shovel and asked with concern.

"No, not really." Lu Liruan shook her head, trying to clear her mind of this sudden feeling. She must have just woken up and wasn't fully awake yet. How could she have dreamed about Cheng Nianzhi?
