72 Part 1

"I'm tired." Jiang Xun still didn't open the door.

Gu Yu said a few more words, but it was all useless, so he could only leave in disappointment.

After he left, Qi Yi also knocked on the door. However, it was like she ate a Closed Door Pill. Jiang Xun won't see anyone. She said that she was sleepy and tired after drinking and just wanted to sleep.

She also blocked the camera in her room with some clothes. With no way of seeing what she was doing in the master control room, Qi Yi was stuffed from anger in his heart and still didn't know what she thought. Tomorrow was the last day of recording, it seemed like she wouldn't listen to him.

...

The final voting place arranged by the program group is within the small garden of the villa.

Although it is daytime, there were many slender light wires in the garden, spiraling up the trees and in the flowers. With the warm yellow lights blinking and the conventional white and purple balloons, it created a great atmosphere for confessing.

A bunch of flowers were also temporarily moved in the garden. Its arrangement was very romantic. There were even several arches made of flowers, which made it a bit like a wedding scene.

The male guests will walk towards their favorite female guest, holding a balloon and bouquet, while each female guest will be standing under arches in different directions.

If the female guest accepts a male guest's feelings, she'll accept the bouquet. If not, she will release the balloon in the male guest's hand into the air.

If the male guest is a wolf, he'll release the balloon in his hand when the female guest reaches for the banquet.

Of course, even if none of the female guests accepts the wolf male guest, he still has to reveal himself, explain his identity as a wolf and apologize to every female guest.

The male and female guests all changed into formal attire. Zhao Jiu Xuan and Gu Yu wore black tuxedo suits, while Gu Li and Yan Xiao wore white suits. After getting all dressed up, they were all handsome and made people's eyes shine when they stepped out of the villa one by one.

The female guests also put on exquisite makeup and were beautiful, standing slenderly under the arches, especially Jiang Xun. Under the sun, in her blue-gray skirt, she appeared exceptionally gentle. Her skin was also so dazzling white that it made people reluctant to look away.

Zhao Jiu Xuan and Yan Xiao walked towards Lu Jia and Zhao Wen Yin respectively, while Gu Yu and Gu Li walked towards Jiang Xun holding flowers.

Seeing no one was walking towards her, Bai Ran looked a little embarrassed as she secretly gritted her teeth.

Last night, she thought about it and felt that she would definitely not get selected today, so she unwillingly went to find Zhao Jiu Xuan. However, before she said a few words, she was so angered by him. Lu Jia said so many things to defame her in front of Zhao Jiu Xuan that now Zhao Jiu Xuan's gaze towards her didn't contain any affection at all. Instead, there was a bit of mocking in his tone. Her humiliation turned into anger and she exited Zhao Jiu Xuan's room. Unexpectedly, she met Yan Xiao again. Yan Xiao's gaze made her feel very guilty, causing her to run back to her room in a panic.

Now she was in a terrible mood. She just wants to finish the recording and end it all, hoping that her reputation would rise after the show's broadcast.

Lu Jia and Zhao Wen Yin both accepted the bouquet, making the pairing successful. Jiang Xun looked at the two men in front of her. She wasn't as bashful as Lu Jia or Zhao Wen Yin. Her expression was still ever so faint. When she reached out to Gu Yu, Gu Li felt his breathing stop as he stared at Jiang Xun's hand intensely.

Gu Yu wasn't calm either, his heart was pounding rapidly. Looking into Jiang Xun's eyes, he even thought, if Jiang Xun chooses him later, he just won't let the balloon fly.

Then, Jiang Xun directly took the rope of the balloon from his hand and then let go. The balloon quickly flew upwards.

Gu Yu's expression stiffened. Staring up at the balloons that were getting farther and farther away, he felt a little anger, but there was more shock and disappointment. He couldn't believe that Jiang Xun actually rejected him like this. Then were the shy and affectionate gazes she gave him before all fake?

Or did she change her heart?

Rejecting him, was it possible she was really going to choose Gu Li?

Gu Yu completely forgot his identity as a wolf. He only knew that Jiang Xun had rejected him. As if he had been betrayed, he opened his mouth, "Why?"

Jiang Xun ignored him and looked towards Gu Li.

Gu Li was staring at her expectantly. Jiang Xun smiled at him. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into a crescent, giving both a sweet and gentle feeling.

Gu Yu and Gu Li were stunned. The two sighed at the same time: She looked so beautiful when she smiled.

This was the first time she showed such a smile on the show. Even Qi Yi, who was in the master control room, was stunned. However, his face became ugly in a flash. He didn't forget this smile was for Gu Li.

Could it be that she really wanted to choose Gu Li? Qi Yi couldn't help being flustered.

Gu Yu also felt jealous and nervous for the first time. He stared at Jiang Xun and called her name in a low voice, trying to change her mind.

Jiang Xun didn't even look at him.

Jiang Xun shook her head apologetically to Gu Li, "I'm sorry."

She didn't accept his bouquet, but she also didn't release the balloon in his hand.

Although Gu Li was sad, he realized he hadn't been completely rejected by Jiang Xun like Gu Yu. He still had hope.

In front of everyone, he summoned the courage to grab onto Jiang Xun's hands, "I won't give up."

None of them expected Jiang Xun to not choose a single person, especially Bai Ran. Seeing Gu Li's infatuated appearance, she felt a malicious intention suppressed in her heart. Not putting on an appearance anymore, she rolled her eyes ironically and sneered. Her lips moved as well. Who knew what she said?

Qi Yi had already ordered a cameraman to make him focus on Bai Ran, so her expression just now was captured in high resolution.

After everyone had chosen, the wolf had to admit his identity.

Gu Yu was in a bad mood. He wanted to get an answer from Jiang Xun but was ignored by Jiang Xun. At this time, he heard the reminder from the show's director. His face was covered with frost and his eyes were no longer as gentle as before. Taking off his glasses, his eyes swept across the other guests.

"I am the wolf." When Gu Yu spoke, his voice didn't contain any warmth. His eyes were staring straight at Jiang Xun.

Excluding Bai Ran and Jiang Xun, everyone else looked at him in shock.

While Gu Li's eyes widened. He immediately showed an angry expression, "If you're the wolf, then why are you pursuing Jiang Xun, you!"

Because he didn't know how to scold people, so he couldn't say anything else. Yet he was so furious but also relieved that Jiang Xun didn't choose Gu Yu and got hurt. However, he thought again. Did Jiang Xun only not choose Gu Yu because she found out he was the wolf ? When she found out, she was probably sad afterwards.

Gu Li looked at Jiang Xun but saw her head down. He wondered if she was sad and didn't want others to see it.

Gu Li's heart ached as the gaze he threw Gu Yu became even more angry.

"You apologize to Jiang Xun." He said solemnly with a stern face.

Gu Yu narrowed his eyes and glowered at Gu Li coldly. Gu Li had actually overcome his timidity. Although he was nervous, for Jiang Xun, he didn't bow his head. Neither of them showed weakness and glared at each other.

But Jiang Xun turned and silently left at this moment.

At the same time, the master control room was extremely quiet. No one had expected such an outcome. In fact, apart from Qi Yi, the staff didn't know who the wolf was. Bai Ran knowing about it was also an accident.

Everyone was marveling about this when Qi Yi suddenly said, "Let's stop here, the recording is over. Everyone can get off work, we can copy all the videos later... … Tomorrow night is the celebration."

...

Bai Ran packed up her things from the villa and was ready to leave. She dragged her suitcase onto the car arranged by the show crew to head home.

After getting in the car, she turned on her phone and received hundreds of private messages as soon as she boarded WeChat, while her Weibo notifications flashed like crazy.

Bai Ran was stunned. She thought maybe it was because of her blowing up, so many people came to find her. Perhaps there were also many people on Weibo tagging her and DMing her. This was also the case when she turned on her phone during the last break, just not as much as this time.

Her terrible mood was slightly comforted, so she smiled. However, her smile didn't last long. She soon realized that she couldn't be more wrong.

Only when she saw those "good friends'" gloating concerns about her and the harsh words of her manager did she realize that something was off.

She nervously opened Weibo. After just a few glances, her face turned pale.

"How did it become like this?!"

The last time she went back, the majority of the netizens were still praising her and she has also gained a huge wave of fans because of this. Why are they all scolding her now? She received tens of thousands of private messages, almost all scolding her for hypocrisy and saying how they were mistaken about her.

Bai Ran panicked. Quickly, she found the reason. When she tricked Jiang Xun Gu Li was the wolf, she actually got recorded and was even posted on the Internet.

Who recorded it? Jiang Xun?

Bai Ran is already in a mess. She couldn't calm down, because she can't think of what she should do now. The show was already over. Moreover, there will be another two episodes. When the netizens see the last episode and Gu Li isn't the wolf, she's afraid she will suffer even more scolding.

She never expected that she would be recorded and loathed Jiang Xun even more. However, she couldn't even think about Jiang Xun at this time. What should she do? Seek help from the program group?

"Yes, as long as the program team comes forward to say that these recordings are fake, everything will be fine." She uttered excitedly. Then, she called her manager to ask her to help contact the person in charge of the program team.

The call quickly connected. Bai Ran was naturally scolded to death. She gritted her teeth and held herself back. To the other end of the phone, she lowered her voice and tried to appease her, but her face was covered with wrath and her eyes were filled with resentment.

Bai Ran cautiously whispered, "Sister Meng, can you let the program team come forward to explain? After all, ruining my reputation won't do any good to the program group. They should be willing to help."

The Sister Meng in Bai Ran was a veteran manager of the model company. She had been immersed in the circle for more than ten years and couldn't be clearer about those doorways. After hearing her words, she sneered.

"Why didn't I think you were so stupid before? The video came out the night before yesterday. If the program team wanted to explain, they would have come out long ago. Now things have been fermented. Go watch the previous day's episode. The video on the Internet didn't directly expose you. Netizens only knew that it was you only after watching the show. The program group suddenly changed its original arrangement to ask you guys to finish recording the show early before letting you go, must be to prevent you from seeing the things online and affecting the subsequent shooting. Use your brain and think about it, do you think they'll care about you after the show is finished? Not to mention... … when the person in the video is you."

Sister Meng's words were like the last straw that crushed her. Bai Ran was about to cry in a panic. She worked hard for so many years just to get to this point. All she wanted was to marry a good man and retire, so she snatched this resource from a junior in the same company to participate in this show. Who knew this would happen?

"Sister Meng, what should I do? You have to save me."

Bai Ran is one of the best models in Sister Meng's hands and the two have also worked together for a few years. Looking at her now, even though Sister Meng was frustrated at her for not living up to her standard, she still wanted to help her. Therefore, she suppressed her anger, "You go back home first, I'll contact the program team to probe their intentions."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Meng!" Bai Ran seemed to have caught a piece of driftwood and revived back to life.

Holding her phone, her heart was cold for a while, but she felt hopeful. She turned off the private messages function on Weibo and read the comments on the Internet. Her expression became ugly. Everyone was praising Jiang Xun and how fairy-like she was, while she... … was demoted to some sludge on the ground.

Bai Ran didn't dare to imagine what she would do if the program group really won't help her like Sister Meng said.
