Chapter 14: Second Brother: Why have you become what you are now?

Sang Qiao: "???" He couldn't possibly not know! He couldn't possibly not know! He couldn't possibly not know!

[What's going on with these two! You're the sweetest couple in my heart, how could it become so sad?]

[At least answer one, didn't Sang Qiao say she was going to be open? What kind of plane are you flying?]

[The director is too harsh. Just say zero points, no need to add that they got the only zero points of the round, haha.]

"I've been divorced several times, you don't know which hospital I stayed in last time, or what type of man I like?"

Sang Qiao always felt that this man was doing it on purpose; the answers to these questions were obviously clear and easy to see.

"I forgot." Si Chenli barely parted his thin lips, his voice low and magnetic, his expression serene.

"..." Sang Qiao sighed lightly, whatever, it's just a breakup, it's not important!

[Hisss—Those questions seem very private. Could the two of them have known each other before the romance reality show?]

[Looking at Sang Qiao's expression, could Brother Li be aware of these things and deliberately not talk about them?]

[I just remembered when Sang Qiao first came on stage and heard she was paired with Si Chenli, she said that partnering with him would get her assassinated, so there must be some shady business between them!]

For the first time, the director watched Sang Qiao not calculate properly, and he was quite pleased; even his tone unconsciously carried a smile.

"Everybody move forward, into today's last checkpoint. After filming is complete, you can pick up your phones and go home. That concludes the first phase of shooting!"

"The first phase is finally ending! These days without my phone have been utterly boring."

Yao Hui felt liberated; he couldn't emphasize how relieved his mood was. He had embarrassed himself so much during this first phase, and he couldn't wait to go home and rest.

"Director, when is the next phase? Will partners still be arranged by the show?"

Lu Tianxin asked eagerly, genuinely not wanting to continue partnering with Lin Weichen.

"The timing for the next phase is to be determined. We will notify everyone later. Partners can be chosen freely as long as both parties agree. You should also prepare mentally, because whether male and female guests can become an official couple in the second phase will determine if you'll be in the third phase."

[Is it like what I'm thinking? The third phase will require actual couples to participate, right?]

[If that's the case, won't Sister Meng Yun and Sang Emperor be announcing their relationship soon?]

[Stop joking, they're probably breaking up.]

[Are the Sang Emperor's die-hard fans too blind to see reality? Isn't it normal for your idol to have a girlfriend? If you can't accept that, are you still hoping that you'd end up with Sang Emperor? Don't you look in the mirror and see if you're worthy!]

[We're not worthy, and we've never thought about reaching for the moon. We just hope Sang Emperor can be with someone who suits him. Not to mention, Liang Mengyun is definitely not his match! The main guy never said anything about them!]

[Guys, isn't it normal for a romance reality show to create misunderstandings and ambiguity? What are you all shipping?]

The comments from both die-hard fans and couple shippers were all mixed up.

Meanwhile, Liang Mengyun, unconsciously scraping the palm of her hand with her fingernail, thought about free choice for partners... would Sang Shen still be in her group?

She walked every step with little strength, sneaking several glances at Sang Shen.

But to no avail, she couldn't see anything. He was always like this, his emotions even, inscrutable.

The group soon moved forward to the last checkpoint, where a large round table was set up, covered with a tablecloth that was the epitome of girlish pink hearts.

The director held a roll of draft paper in his hand, announcing the last game.

"The third checkpoint game is very simple, it's a game of Truth or Dare. The person pointed at by the tail of the bottle asks a question to the person pointed at by the mouth of the bottle. If they can't do it or can't answer, they lose a point."

As soon as the director finished speaking, Yao Hui cracked a smile. This was his chance for revenge, "You'd better not fall into my hands!"

"Don't go too far." Meng Wangge rolled her eyes and sat opposite him.

"Mind your own business." Yao Hui had disliked her since day one; she was ugly and a bit fat.

And the subsequent tasks only added to his grudge against her for embarrassing him.

The other four pairs also took their seats, with Liang Mengyun deliberately sitting opposite Sang Shen, their hands clasped together under the table, somewhat nervous.

"With everyone sitting like this, it looks like you all have something you want to ask each other," the director said, placing the bottle on the table and looking meaningfully at everyone.

Then his gaze fell on Sang Qiao and Mr. Si, sitting adjacent to each other, and he sighed, these two never played by the rules.

"This is a perfect opportunity to win over your beloved, of course you should ask someone you care about," Gu Nanmo said ambiguously, staring at Sang Jiao across from him.

Sang Jiao also cooperatively lowered her head, feigning shyness, but inside she was anything but.

But she knew that until she changed partners, she had to tolerate this fool who thought highly of himself.

"Alright, then I'll start spinning the bottle," said the director, and spun the bottle on the table.

The empty bottle spun rapidly on the table surface, round and round, and when it stopped, the mouth pointed at Sang Qiao, while the tail pointed at Sang Shen.

"It looks like our Sang Qiao is a bit unlucky, being the first chosen."

"Truth or Dare?" Sang Shen saw the tail pointing at him, and his hand on the table paused.

"Truth." Sang Qiao lowered her eyes and glanced at the bottle, her long eyelashes covering the emotions in her eyes.

"Why have you become what you are now?" As Sang Shen's question emerged, it was as if a bomb had detonated in the room; the others were puzzled. What did he mean?

[? What the hell is Sang Emperor talking about, why do I feel like I don't understand?]

[Hiss～ They share the same surname, could they be related? I've already imagined a scene where the evil supporting character Sang Qiao frames Sang Emperor's family.]

[Having the same surname is quite normal, right? Is there a chance that when Sang Emperor was poor and young, he was abandoned by the vanity-loving Sang Qiao?]

[Folks above are so imaginative they could write a novel, can't it just be the bitterness of good friends after a falling out?]

Sang Qiao was also taken aback, not expecting him to ask such a question in front of the cameras.

Her red lips curved into a smile, her tone light, "Because my blindness was cured."

"I think you're not cured, but completely blind! How dare you blame all your mistakes on someone else? Where do you get the nerve!"

Sang Shen's hands tightened and his voice rose several notches as he fiercely smashed his hand down on the table, loud enough to show his anger.

"This question is outside of my range to answer, you only have the privilege to ask one question."

Sang Qiao raised her eyebrows, nonchalantly leaning back in her chair and dismissing his question.

Tension smoked between the two, and the director, frightened by what unfolded, chuckled nervously, "Hahaha, don't get excited, let's move on to the next round. I'll continue spinning the bottle."
