Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

The middle-aged man removed the equipment from He Mier and moved it to Tan Wen.

Throughout the process, He Mi'er remained seated, clearly intending to be the first to ask a question.

For Tan Wen, telling the truth or lying is not important, nor is it important whether he can fool the lie detector with his psychological fortitude.

The important thing is that his answer shouldn't satisfy one person while causing another to have unnecessary associations.

Based on Tan Wen's understanding of He Mi'er, she wouldn't ask questions like "Do you like me?", so Tan Wen wasn't particularly worried.

Sure enough, He Mi'er's first question was: "If there's another date, will I still be your first choice?"

If the answer to this question is no, He Mi'er will be pushed away; if the answer is yes, it will create a rift between Lu Yu and Xiao.

Tan Wen did not answer directly, but said, "My promise to you remains valid."

After returning from the Xiangjiang River, Tan Wen promised He Mi'er that if there were a third or fourth date, he would choose He Mi'er.

Only he and He Mi'er knew about this, so He Mi'er could understand his answer, but others couldn't.

He Mi'er paused for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man, who nodded: "The test results show that Tan Wen is telling the truth."

Although He Mi'er was somewhat dissatisfied with Tan Wen's answer, the result was still in line with her wishes.

"When you like someone, is it more out of reason or instinct?"

"I haven't thought about that question. I guess they're pretty much the same. If I had to choose one, I'd say instinct would be more important."

Tan Wen thought about this question for a while and answered it very seriously. As for whether it was an answer that He Mi'er wanted, she didn't know.

He Mi'er nodded in satisfaction. The answer to this question wasn't important; what mattered was the thought process involved.

Some questions can be answered off the cuff, while for others, careful consideration is more important than the answer itself.

The middle-aged man announced that Tan Wen was telling the truth.

"I have no other questions." He Mi'er smiled slightly at Tan Wen, then got up and left.

Tan Wen didn't relax; he wouldn't be able to escape Lu Yuxiao's hurdle either.

"Let me ask."

Lu Yuxiao had been prepared for this and stepped forward before Liu Haochun could speak.

This was the first time she had spoken before Liu Haochun; she was afraid that if Tan Wen only answered two people's questions, she would have no chance.

"Be kind to me," Tan Wen said to Lu Yu in a lighthearted, joking tone.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, reassuring Tan Wen.

"After leaving the cabin, will you still enjoy... being in contact with the people you like?"

"Of course." Tan Wen replied instantly. This was an easy question, and Lu Yuxiao was as kind as ever.

Middle-aged man: "Tan Wen is telling the truth."

"Did you have feelings for more than one girl while you were in the cabin?" Lu Yuxiao immediately followed up with her second question.

Fortunately, Tan Wen remained on guard and did not subconsciously say no.

A loyal and devoted persona is very important to guys, but he can't answer "no" to this question.

Because he publicly expressed his liking for He Mi'er, if he answered no, then what would he mean to Lu Yuxiao?

"Yes." Tan Wen answered, letting out a sigh of relief. He didn't bother to anticipate the consequences of his answer.

Lu Yuxiao agreed with the answer, Liu Haochun was curious, Meng Ziyi was just watching the drama unfold, and He Mier showed an expression of "I knew it".

Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man with a questioning gaze.

This time, the middle-aged man did not give an immediate answer. Instead, he analyzed the circuit diagram and finally said, "Tan Wen's answer is more of the truth."

In other words, it's not that real; that's the conclusion everyone has reached.

The girls' different feelings suddenly converged into a single question.

Tan Wen was obviously taken aback for a moment, then he was secretly pleased. It was good to be in chaos; he was best suited to win in the midst of chaos right now.

Lu Yuxiao originally only planned to ask two questions, but after hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, some doubts arose in her mind.

"May I ask one more question?" she asked Tan Wen.

"Can."

"That······"

"You already asked that." Tan Wen found Lu Yu's slightly annoyed expression amusing and got up to leave.

"I also have questions to ask." Liu Haochun stepped out before Tan Wen took off the lie detector.

Tan Wen hesitated for a moment, then decided to give her a chance to ask a question, after all, he had promised Han Yan that he would be contacting Liu Haochun next.

"You can only ask one question," Tan Wen said.

"Okay." Liu Haochun didn't sit on the ground, but stood beside Tan Wen, leaning down and asking softly, "Have you ever had feelings for me?"

"You really don't waste any opportunities," Tan Wen said with a wry smile.

Liu Haochun didn't laugh; she was waiting for Tan Wen's answer.

"It's normal to be attracted to a girl like you, right?" Tan Wen replied casually.

You did not answer my question directly.

"I haven't thought about this question. Perhaps I can give you an answer in the next two weeks."

Tan Wen didn't make any definitive statements, and his tone was casual, sounding not very serious, so neither side would overthink it.

Ugh, I'm so tired, I just want to get out of this little house as soon as possible.

Liu Haochun looked directly at the middle-aged man, who paused for a moment before saying, "The lie detector suggests that Tan Wen is telling the truth."

Another tendency has emerged, leaving everyone speechless at Tan Wen's intentions.

Liu Haochun kept his promise and didn't ask a second question.

Tan Wen felt he had passed the test fairly smoothly. Next, it was Liu Haochun's turn to answer questions. Tan Wen followed He Mi'er's example and didn't move his body. He wanted to be the first to ask a question.

"If you were asked to give up love for your career, could you accept that?"

"Yes!" Liu Haochun answered quickly, but she added, "Of course, this is just my imagination. If such a thing were actually presented to me one day, perhaps I would make a different choice."

Tan Wen nodded, confirming his understanding of Liu Haochun over this period; the lie detector indicated that Liu Haochun was telling the truth.

"What was the reason for your breakup in your last relationship?" Tan Wen decided to gossip a bit.

Liu Haochun smiled and said, "I've never been in a relationship."

Middle-aged man: "I'm not lying!"

Tsk, what a waste of a question.

"Is there anyone in the cabin you genuinely want to develop a relationship with?"

"You," Liu Hao replied sincerely.

This response elicited complaints, sighs, and surprise from some, but a few seconds later it turned into silence, because Liu Haochun added another sentence.

"You know I've always wanted to develop you into a business partner, don't you?"

They've found a loophole in the problem; they really know how to manipulate people's mentality.

"It was my question that wasn't precise," Tan Wen said, not seeming to care much. "I've finished asking."

Both William and Gu Beiyu wanted to ask the next question, and neither was willing to give in. In the end, their guest assistants had to help them win the question.

Xiang Zuo, unwilling to compete with Ding Bing, prioritized Ms. William's request.

Gu Beiyu stepped forward and asked a relatively mild question: "Did you enjoy spending time with me recently?"

Since returning from the National Day holiday, he has had very little contact with Liu Haochun. If he can get a satisfactory answer today, he plans to be more proactive.

"It's enjoyable, how could it not be enjoyable?" Liu Haochun tilted his head playfully.

Speaking the truth!

Seeing Liu Haochun's adorable appearance and knowing that she was telling the truth, Gu Beiyu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and immediately resolved to give it his all.

"Would you be willing to take the initiative in the future?"

"Am I not taking the initiative? I've already expressed my feelings for you."

When did she ever express her feelings for me? Could it be that I overlooked some subtle details?

Gu Beiyu decided to spend the night reminiscing about the details of his time with Liu Haochun, and he was in a very good mood at the moment.

"That's the truth," the middle-aged man said at the opportune moment.

Tan Wen shook his head slightly. He felt that Liu Haochun was going to ruin Gu Beiyu, who was considered quite shrewd among boys.

"I don't want to answer the third question, is that okay?" Liu Haochun asked in a lively tone.

Gu Beiyu nodded in understanding.

William also lost his chance to ask a question. He was puzzled by Liu Haochun's answer. When did she get to this point with Gu Beiyu?

He kept his eyes on Tan Wen, and as a result, he overlooked Gu Beiyu, this dangerous element. Ugh, so annoying!

Next, the group asked questions to Gu Beiyu.

Gu Beiyu waited for a while and found that no one came forward, which was in stark contrast to Tan Wen's answer to the question.

He felt a little embarrassed, wondering why Liu Haochun had no questions to ask him. He looked at Liu Haochun and found that William was talking to her.

Gu Beiyu was certain that he had done it on purpose, and a chill ran through him. He decided to retaliate later.

The new guests felt a little uneasy; they finally realized that Tan Wen was much more popular in the cabin than they had imagined.

He Chaolian thought this was very scientific. Tan Wen's help to Meng Ziyi had left a great impression on her, and she now basically understood He Mier's choice.

At this moment, Xu Jing stepped forward. She and Gu Beiyu were partners this time, and she felt it was her responsibility to ease his embarrassment.

Tan Wen didn't know when Lu Yuxiao would be able to play. He didn't have any questions for her either.

"Shall I go back to my room first?" he whispered in Lu Yuxiao's ear. "Come to my room after your segment is over."

Lu Yuxiao: "Aren't you going to take this opportunity to ask me some questions?"

"I trust you completely, so I can ask you anytime I want; I don't need a lie detector."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, feeling quite pleased. "Then wait for me."

Before leaving, Tan Wen saw a message on his phone, sent by Director Han Yan a dozen minutes earlier.

He walked up to Liu Haochun, who was smiling and talking to William, and said, "Come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Haochun will be asking questions later, it's not good for you to call her away like this," William said with dissatisfaction.

Tan Wen did not respond and turned to leave.

Liu Haochun nodded apologetically to William and followed Tan Wen's steps.

William has become somewhat numb to the blows.

While Gu Beiyu was answering questions, he caught a glimpse of Liu Haochun leaving with Tan Wen out of the corner of his eye. His previously good mood instantly turned into a hint of resentment.

The two went to the balcony of Tan Wen's bedroom, and Tan Wen gestured for Liu Haochun to turn off the microphone.

He showed the text message to Liu Haochun and lit a cigarette for himself.

After reading the text message, Liu Haochun felt both happy and conflicted. Finally, she calmly said, "Congratulations."

"Don't rush to congratulate me yet. There's something else I need your cooperation on, which I promised Director Han beforehand."

Liu Haochun looked at him curiously.

"Take the initiative to contact me."

"Haven't I been trying to get in touch with you? I've already told you I like you."

"On camera, not when we're together in private."

Seeing Liu Haochun fall silent, Tan Wen smiled and said:

"So, isn't it not as simple as you thought? You can act silly in private, but netizens will take it seriously on live stream."

"So, does Director Han still want us to be paired up as a couple?"

"Well, but it's slightly different. We don't need to end up together; it'll just be a bad ending, so you don't need to worry too much."

Liu Haochun: "Why does it have to end badly?"

Tan Wen: "It fits the tone of the film."

Liu Haochun: "I thought you were worried about it affecting your interactions with other girls. Okay, I have no problem with that, there's just one thing..."

Tan Wen: "Go ahead."

Liu Haochun: "I need your feedback; we need to have equal contact."

Tan Wen: "Of course, we can't let you be a lapdog."

The two quickly reached an agreement.

Liu Haochun asked casually, "If you're like this with me, how are you going to handle your relationships with the other two girls?"

Tan Wen: "Two?"

Liu Haochun: "I'm not blind."

Tan Wen lowered his head and chuckled softly, "I'll handle it."

Liu Haochun joked, "Don't let this turn out to be real."

"No, that won't happen."

"Did you never believe I liked you?"

······

After Liu Haochun left, Tan Wen dragged the simple sofa from the bedroom to the balcony.

He nestled into the sofa, covered himself with a light blanket, and felt quite comfortable in the evening breeze.

After some time, Tan Wen woke up and found Lu Yu sleeping beside him, breathing heavily, probably because he was tired from the day.

Tan Wen gently covered her with the blanket, and she woke up as her eyelashes fluttered.

"Your door wasn't closed, so I just came in," Lu Yuxiao explained, pulling the blanket up over herself.

Tan Wen glanced at his phone; it was almost 11:30. He wondered how long Lu Yu had been there.

"Don't practice singing so late, so as not to disturb others."

"Oh, I'll be going now."

"Let me tell you about the specific plot of 'Where the Wind Blows,' I really like this story."

"Okay." Lu Yu nodded gently. She had a reason to stay, and she certainly didn't want to miss out.

Tan Wen covered the two of them with the blanket, and under the blanket, Lu Yuxiao took Tan Wen's hand for the first time.

······

Later, Xie Zhiyao took the people in the courtyard to a team building activity. On that starry night, Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou sat on a bench, very close to each other, covered with the same blanket.

Xu Hongdou told Xie Zhiyao the story of Chen Nanxing. Xie Zhiyao said that as long as we talk about her, she exists and lives among us.

······

Tan Wen spoke for a long time, until the moon was hidden by dark clouds. Lu Yuxiao had fallen asleep at some point, with tears still wet on the corners of her eyes.

Early morning, the sky was a deep blue, and the sun was about to rise.

When Lu Yu woke up, she was too embarrassed to say that she had been woken up by the urge to urinate.

"Didn't you sleep all night?" she asked, noticing Tan Wen staring blankly at the reddish sky.

"Awake? Wipe your drool."

"I... I'm going back to take a shower first." Lu Yu suddenly realized that she had spent the whole night at Tan Wen's place. Why didn't Chi Chi come to call me?

"After you take a shower, go downstairs for breakfast, and while you're at it, wake up Chichi and Meng Ziyi."

……

The sun was just rising when the group set off to take photos.

Listen to the rain falling into the silent forest.

Watching the scenery of the distant mountains under the setting sun.

The raindrops on the eaves quietly formed a misty haze.

Embedded in an eye...

Lu Yuxiao was practicing singing in the car. The song's melody was warm and relaxing, and it suited Lu Yuxiao's voice very well.

"This song is so beautiful, and it seems to carry a slight touch of sadness."

Chi Chi listened intently, and Meng Ziyi felt the same way after listening.

Lu Yuxiao roughly understood why Tan Wen had told her the whole story last night. Only by understanding the story could she sing out the subtle sadness and regret in the song.

"You can choose between the first song and this one," Tan Wen reminded the group.

"This song seems more suitable," Meng Ziyi said weakly. "I even feel like humming it after hearing it."

After Meng Ziyi finished speaking, he started humming. This humming immediately disrupted Lu Yuxiao's rhythm, and Tan Wen, who was driving, even lost some of his drowsiness.

Chi Chi interrupted Meng Ziyi's spellcasting, "I also think this song is more suitable. Has this song been titled yet?"

"Go to a windy place." Tan Wen directly stated the song title this time. "Then this song will do. Lu Yu, can you sing it smoothly this afternoon?"

Lu Yu thought about it for a moment and thought it was a good idea.

The group soon arrived at the ancient town again, but this time they were less interested in sightseeing and busied themselves taking photos. The program provided the photography, but the guests had to do everything else themselves.

During filming, Tan Wen felt that Meng Ziyi's acting skills were quite good, and much more mature than Lu Yuxiao's.

After filming a few clips, Lu Yuxiao gradually became more natural, which was sufficient for a short film.

"How's your communication with 'The Performance' going?" Tan Wen asked Lu Yuxiao.

"Don't dislike me, I'll participate in the dating reality show as soon as it ends."

During her scenes with Tan Wen, she discovered a significant gap between their acting skills.

This caused her great frustration and even a sense of crisis.

"By the way, when will the show 'The Actor' that you participated in air? I'd like to observe it first."

"The preview will be released tonight, and it will probably air after we finish filming the second episode."

"Is the second season about to be filmed?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow. I'm leaving tomorrow night."

"Oh, so, who are you planning to take this time?"

"I'm going by myself this time."
