Qi Yi didn't directly answer Jiang Xun. Instead, he gave Jiang Xun a profound look.
"You won't choose the wolf." Nor will I let you choose anyone else either.
Jiang Xun asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"You'll know soon."
After leaving Jiang Xun's room, he didn't head back to the lounge, but went back to the master control room to get the footage with Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun rarely interacts alone with others. Since he watched the whole process when she and Gu Yu went on a date, he was sure that Gu Yu didn't talk nonsense in front of her when they were outside. Therefore, it only left the villa.
Every day, there were staff organizing the footage. With all of Jiang Xun's videos at the villa already sorted, Qi Yi looked through the recent videos and found the clips he wanted without much effort.
He stared at the time on the screen. After Truth or Dare was over last night, Bai Ran called Jiang Xun out to talk, but no footage of them was found later. It was only half an hour later that there were images of them returning to their rooms. It seems that Bai Ran brought Jiang Xun to a place without a camera.
Qi Yi watched the previous video again. Finally through elimination, he was sure the person who told Jiang Xun that Gu Li was the wolf was Bai Ran.
Qi Yi sneered. Whether Gu Li was the wolf or not, he knew the best.
Since Bai Ran told Jiang Xun this, she probably discovered who the wolf was and then deliberately misled Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun getting closer to Gu Yu is probably also her "credit."
Qi Yi's eyes turned fierce. He completely regarded Bai Ran as the culprit for Jiang Xun's captivation by Gu Yu.
Since Bai Ran likes bouncing around this much, he doesn't mind "helping" her.
Qi Yi laughed coldly. He already made a decision in his heart, the show just happened to lack a person like Bai Ran.
...
A few days later, with the efforts of the program team in changing the direction of the show, Yan Xiao no longer focused on Jiang Xun. Instead, he had a date each with Zhao Wen Yin and Lu Jia. Because Zhao Jiu Xuan hadn't kept not receiving Bai Ran's response, the on-site director also talked to him in private several times, making him also start asking Lu Jia and Jiang Xun out.
The emotional lines of the eight guests have changed a lot, which also made the program more interesting.
Even Jiang Xun had to admit that under Qi Yi's leadership, this program group acted resolutely and efficiently.
Only Gu Yu and Gu Li kept firmly choosing Jiang Xun.
Yet Jiang Xun has always maintained a close relationship with Gu Yu, only to make Gu Yu feel that she and him have become the most stable pair. However, in the eyes of others, even under the camera, Gu Yu was the more proactive side. Jiang Xun's attitude towards him was only slightly better than others. It didn't seem like she liked him much.
On the contrary, everyone would feel that Gu Yu would often say some wrong timing love words, flattering himself.
Because Gu Li had always chosen Jiang Xun and never changed, Gu Yu was quite guarded against Gu Li. Every time Gu Li was there, he would declare his claim by sitting next to or very close to Jiang Xun.
But Gu Li still persevered. After all, in everyone's opinion, Jiang Xun still didn't fully accept Gu Yu. She only went out on an extra date with him.
Gu Li wanted to find a chance to confess to Jiang Xun, since he felt that he hadn't clearly expressed his intention to Jiang Xun, so she might not know how much he liked her. He thought, even if Jiang Xun rejected him, he had to tell her his feelings.
Finally, Gu Li waited until his turn with Jiang Xun alone to go purchase groceries.
Every week, there are two opportunities for two guests, a male and a female, to arrange to go to the supermarket alone. Previously, it was other people doing it and they were all selected at random.
This time, they were informed a day in advance. Knowing he was going to go out alone with Jiang Xun, Gu Li was both happy and nervous that he didn't sleep well that night. The next day when he chose his outfit, he spent a lot of time picking an outfit.
There are a lot of things they need to buy. The two of them grabbed a paper to first list all the items that everyone wanted to buy and then went to buy them.
Jiang Xun kept her head down and carefully picked out vegetables and fruits, while Gu Li followed behind her and pushed the cart. As Jiang Xun kept putting things in the cart, the cameraman followed them closely.
This cameraman was the same one as last time. This time, he stared at Jiang Xun and didn't dare to blink, for fear that the crowded supermarket would squeeze him out again.
Yet this time Jiang Xun was very honest and didn't have the intention to hide.
Gu Li has been peeking at Jiang Xun the entire time. Watching her careful expression as she tried to choose better-quality fruits and put them in a plastic bag, his heart beated rapidly. The sound of his pounding heartbeat made him particularly nervous. Finally, he mustered his courage to call Jiang Xun's name. When she looked back at him, he stretched out his hand and took Jiang Xun's hand.
"Jiang Xun."
Jiang Xun looked down at the hand he was holding. She could feel the palm of Gu Li's hand was ice-cold and trembling.
"Jiang Xun." Gu Li called again.
"Eh?" Jiang Xun looked up, confused.
"I… .. I have something to tell you." The more he was about to say it, the more nervous Gu Li became. That one word, like, kept getting stuck in his throat, speeding up his breathing.
"What is it?" Jiang Xun's hand was tightly grasped by him.
The cameraman didn't expect that Gu Li would suddenly pull this stunt in the supermarket. He hurriedly took a few close-ups on the hands and faces of the two.
Jiang Xun could feel the luck passing from his hand to the palm of her hand, while his favorability value rose quickly.
Gu Li took a deep breath and looked up at Jiang Xun. As soon as he was about to say the words "I like you", the on-site director ran over to stop him. The moment Gu Li grabbed Jiang Xun's hand, he got a call from Qi Yi, asking him to keep an eye on them and not let Gu Li confess.
The program group has long stipulated that, until the last minute, the guests cannot directly confess to keep the suspense until the very last minute.
When Gu Li was interrupted by the director, he was still a little baffled.
The on-site director broke in, "What's the matter with you? Didn't we say that you can't confess?"
"Huh?" Gu Li asked in a daze.
The director went through the rules again, dumbfounding Gu Li.
He didn't remember this at all. When the program group talked about the precautions before, he was a little at a loss and nervous, so he didn't really listen.
In this way, Gu Li's plan to confess was instantly ruined, but Jiang Xun also knew what he was going to do. This made it not romantic at all, nor did he know how Jiang Xun thought yet he couldn't ask her. Gu Li's face wrinkled in a crying expression and sighed, making him too ashamed to glance up at Jiang Xun.
The final voting is next week. Gu Li is very afraid that Jiang Xun will choose someone else.
Since Gu Li was sad, he was dispirited on the way back.
Jiang Xun couldn't help feeling helpless when she saw him like this.
Among the numerous sons of Heaven, Gu Li's emotional intelligence was the lowest.
However, Jiang Xun thought he was still quite cute.
...
After getting off the bus, the staff didn't follow them when they entered the villa. After all, there were cameras in the villa and it was nighttime too. If there's no special situation, they don't need to follow them all the time. Noticing this, Jiang Xun approached Gu Li under the guise of helping him and whispered in his ear, "Are you the wolf?"
Gu Li's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't really react in time.
He looked into Jiang Xun's probing eyes and quickly denied, "I'm not."
Jiang Xun didn't speak.
Gu Li repeated, "I'm really not."
"Bai Ran said, she overheard you say that you were the wolf."
"How could that be, I didn't." Startled, he didn't expect Jiang Xun would mistake him as the wolf as he explained in a flustered manner.
Seeing Jiang Xun not speaking, Gu Li became more and more flustered. In the end, he directly stated, "I'm not a wolf, I like you."
Jiang Xun froze.
Gu Li also threw himself out there. Although he was as nervous as he could be that his heart was about to jump out and kept saying, "I like you, I'm not the wolf, my feelings are sincere."
"But..."
"Bai Ran say that? Why did she lie? I can go confront her."
