#Huo Xun Appears on Dating Show, Bluntly Refuses to Date!#

This topic was pushed to the top by Huo Xun’s fans. Regarding the matter of him dating, his fanbase was actually quite open-minded and often engaged in “shipping” him with others. Consequently, most of the fans in the live broadcast room were there specifically to watch their idol fall in love.

[I think the beautiful little brother is a great match! That peerless beauty is worthy of our Movie Star Huo!]

[Movie Star Bai is also a good match! A drama about two rivals in the industry, it would be epic.]

[Agreed! They cannot stand each other during the day, but at night, they lie on the same bed.]

[Hehe, that works too.]

[I also support the dual movie star pairing, but if President Huo sees this, will we be killed?]

Huo Xun, who was being forcibly paired with Bai Chen by fans, had no idea what they were thinking; he was busy cooking. According to the numerical order, he was preparing lunch for Sang Luo. Regarding the pairing, Huo Xun felt a flicker of happiness. When he saw the results, he had instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. He ignored the question of why he felt that way.

Currently, he was washing the rice and starting to chop vegetables. The camera gave him a close-up shot. Huo Xun’s fingers were well-defined, and when he applied force, the veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly, looking unexpectedly sexy.

In less than twenty minutes, two dishes and a soup were ready. Most people did not know Huo Xun could cook, so they were quite surprised. However, he had no thoughts on the matter; his eyes were only on the quiet youth.

“Try it.”

Because he was standing quite close, Sang Luo’s ears felt a tingling sensation. He had to admit that Huo Xun’s voice was unique and very pleasant.

“Thank you.” Sang Luo took a few bites; it was delicious. He ate with an innate elegance, holding his chopsticks and chewing slowly.

Huo Xun watched him intently for a moment before withdrawing his gaze. “I will take the rest to the others.”

After the other guests tasted the food, they quickly gave high ratings, making them the current first place. However, the production team was not that kind; the final ranking would be calculated by adding the scores of both partners together. This meant that even if one person cooked exceptionally well, it was useless if their teammate did not contribute. They could only pray for a capable partner.

Aside from Huo Xun, the cooking skills of the others were roughly the same. Usually, there would not be a massive disparity between pairs, but it actually happened in this episode.

Sang Luo had no idea how to cook. Even if he knew how to use the appliances, he had zero experience. When choosing ingredients, he only took bread because he did not know how to prepare anything else. In the end, he simply toasted the bread in the oven. Consequently, Huo Xun and Sang Luo’s ranking dropped to third place.

Sang Luo felt somewhat embarrassed. He tried to find an opportunity to apologize to Huo Xun several times but could not find an opening and eventually gave up.

Next was the awards segment. The two female guests won first place; their rewards for the next task would be doubled, and they could designate any guest as a date at any time. Second place went to Bai Chen’s pair, who could designate a guest for a date during the second week. Third place went to Huo Xun and Sang Luo, whose next task rewards would be doubled. Fourth place went to number two and number seven, who were rewarded with three meals for the following day.

Judging by the fourth place prize, it was clear the production team would not be providing food from then on. For a moment, it was hard to tell if they were lucky or unlucky.

After the rewards were distributed, it was free time. Only then could the guests take their luggage to their rooms. There were not many rooms in the villa, just enough for one person each. Sang Luo opened his door; the layout was quite nice. He had only brought a few clothes and toiletries, making him the guest with the least luggage.

After unpacking, Sang Luo just wanted to take a shower. However, when he entered the bathroom, he found that the shower head had no reaction at all.

Sang Luo was silent.

After trying for a while, he was certain it was broken. Feeling a bit sticky and uncomfortable, Sang Luo considered whether to just endure it. Five minutes later, he knocked on Huo Xun’s door.

“Is something wrong?”

Huo Xun might have been sleeping; his hair was messy, unlike its usual styled appearance, and he had changed into casual clothes. Perhaps because he had not fully woken up, his voice was somewhat raspy.

Sang Luo glanced into the room. The curtains were drawn, and it was quite dark. He was sure Huo Xun had been sleeping. For a moment, he hesitated.

“Hmm?” A hint of a smile flashed in Huo Xun’s deep eyes. “What do you want to say?”

Sang Luo looked at him. “The shower in my bathroom is broken. Can I borrow yours?”

“Sure.” After saying that, Huo Xun headed downstairs, leaving Sang Luo standing there.

After waiting for a bit, Sang Luo eventually chose to enter the room. After turning on the light, he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and restrained his gaze. However, as if the world were working against him, his nose was filled with Huo Xun’s scent. A steady woody fragrance filled the surroundings. Sang Luo pursed his lips, feeling a sudden, inexplicable surge of annoyance.

When Huo Xun returned, he saw a youth whose gaze was not very friendly.

“What is it?” Huo Xun keenly sensed his mood. “I told the director. He said he will send someone to fix it.”

Sang Luo did not get up or speak. Huo Xun found it increasingly amusing; this occasional bit of temperament was truly captivating.

“Go ahead. I need to wash up too.”

“Did you use perfume?” Sang Luo blurted out. After saying it, he realized he might have crossed a line. This topic was outside the bounds of their current relationship.

“I did. Do you like it?” The smile on Huo Xun’s face was obvious, and a spark flashed in his deep eyes.

“No.” Sang Luo stood up. “I will be quick.”

After entering the bathroom, Sang Luo let the water pour over his face, and his emotions finally stabilized. He stared blankly at the door before completely regaining his composure.

Sang Luo did not know that Huo Xun’s gaze remained fixed in the direction he had gone. There was an unreadable emotion in those dark eyes, but instinctively, one could sense a hint of danger. He was like a predator who had chosen his prey, staring intently and refusing to let go for a moment.

After a while, the sound of the shower stopped. Sang Luo dressed and walked out while drying his hair. “It is your turn.”

Upon seeing Sang Luo’s flushed cheeks, Huo Xun’s breath hitched. The youth’s peach blossom eyes were hazy and shimmering, and the red mole at the end of his eyebrow was alluring. His pale skin was tinged with red, and his black hair was damp with water; he appeared completely relaxed.

Huo Xun’s heart began to beat uncontrollably, and his Adam’s apple bobbed instinctively. Sensing the intense gaze, Sang Luo felt somewhat confused. “Is something wrong?”

Those eyes looked as if they had been washed, appearing exceptionally clear and mesmerizing.

“Nothing.” In just an instant, Huo Xun adjusted himself. His voice carried a hint of raspiness. “Dry your hair before you head back.”

Before Sang Luo could say anything, the bathroom door closed. After a few seconds of silence, he turned and left.
