Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 11

The cameraman knew exactly how to maintain an air of mystery.

The lens didn’t capture his face. The first thing that caught the audience’s eye was his broad shoulders and narrow waist, radiating an overwhelming sense of allure.

Then the perspective shifted.

The close-up focused on his collar, capturing his Adam’s apple and his strikingly pale, dazzling collarbone.

The live stream audience exploded instantly!

“Ahhhh! It’s Yu Zheng! It has to be Yu Zheng!”

“Who else can recognize someone just by their Adam’s apple? No one’s Adam’s apple is as seductive as Yu Zheng’s!”

“Something feels missing on that neck… Oh, I know, it’s missing my love bite!”

“Thank you, darling, for curing my wandering eyes. I can’t look away now! [Drooling] [Drooling] [Licking screen]”

“Yu Zheng, don’t worry about me! Set the stage on fire, ahhh!”

With Yu Zheng’s appearance, the variety show’s viewership skyrocketed once again.

Many fans had been eagerly awaiting his arrival and quickly tuned into Matcha TV to watch the live stream.

Finally, the camera cut to his face.

Especially those peach-blossom eyes, adept at attracting attention, their long lashes fluttering as they captivated everyone’s gaze.

“Tsk…” Even Lin Xingyou, seated in the observation area, couldn’t contain her excitement. “Yu Zheng is seriously so handsome!”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes disdainfully at the live stream.

He thought to himself that while some people might look like charming male foxes, their hearts were as dark as vampires.

Afraid that his beloved “white moonlight” would be bullied on the dating show, he’d dragged his good friend along as backup, specifically assigning him to keep an eye on Luo Xuan’s slanderous mouth in the observation room.

This was torture!

It was practically like dragging him here to serve a prison sentence!

So Jiang Ran snorted and laughed. “That guy, the only thing worth praising about him is his face.”

The live stream audience: “Hahahaha!!!”

Meanwhile, Yu Zheng was staring straight into the camera.

He lazily lifted his chin, and even with his eyelids half-lowered, his arrogant aura was enough to make hearts flutter:

“Hello, everyone. I’m Yu Zheng.”

The live stream was once again flooded with fans screaming, “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Underwear flew, flirtatious comments ran wild.

Yu Zheng then entered the private studio arranged for him by the production team. However, compared to Wen Shiwu’s earlier room with its plain white walls, his space was much darker and more dimly lit.

“Yu Zheng.”

The same robotic voice echoed: “Are you ready to face the scandal challenge?”

Yu Zheng lifted his eyelids.

He glanced at the speaker in the corner of the ceiling and replied nonchalantly, “Mm, ready.”

This time, the audience knew a horror story was about to unfold. They stared intently at the screen, filled with tension and curiosity about the unknown mystery.

Sure enough.

A loud noise suddenly erupted: “Click!”

Immediately after, the entire studio was plunged into darkness, and Yu Zheng’s surroundings were swallowed by endless black.

Jiang Ran, who had just been mentally cursing his friend, slammed the table and stood up at the scene:

“What the hell!”

Luo Xuan and Lin Xingyou were both startled by his outburst.

Luo Xuan was annoyed by his dramatics but still feigned concern with a smile. “Mr. Jiang, what’s wrong?”

“It’s not me! It’s the production team!” Jiang Ran frowned tightly as he stared at the live stream. “Don’t tell me this is part of the director’s plan? Yu Zheng has night blindness! He’s afraid of the dark!”

“Ah?” Lin Xingyou exclaimed, turning her gaze to the live stream.

This time, the production team didn’t cut away from Yu Zheng’s scene, keeping the camera focused on him.

However, the live stream had switched to night vision mode.

Yu Zheng did indeed have night blindness. He wouldn’t say he was afraid of the dark, but as someone who even needed a light on to sleep, he truly detested this unsettling feeling of the unknown in the darkness.

As the surroundings plunged into complete darkness,

Yu Zheng froze in place.

His brow furrowed slightly as he tilted his head toward the direction he had come from, preparing to walk over and open the door to let the sunlight back in.

But just then, he suddenly heard what sounded like Wen Shiwu’s scream from next door: “Ahhhh!!!”

Immediately after, the sound of a lock clicking echoed: “Click!”

Yu Zheng’s footsteps halted.

He abruptly turned toward the direction of the scream, but the pitch-black environment made it impossible for him to find his way.

He understood, this was a segment designed by the production team.

Sure enough, the robot’s voice sounded again:

“Welcome, everyone, to the third season of Rumor Lovers. I am the director, Shi Ke.”

The live stream signals for each guest gradually resumed.

Wen Shiwu’s previously blacked-out screen slowly lit up again, but it no longer showed the empty, simple room from before.

The camera panned down from above.

There stood Wen Shiwu on a narrow pillar over a cliff, surrounded by a bottomless abyss!

“Oh my god! Where is this?”

“Wasn’t our baby just in the studio a moment ago? How did the production team suddenly send her to a place like this?”

“Oh no, don’t scare our girl like this! She fell while filming with a harness when she was little, she’s terrified of heights!!!”

The audience’s hearts were in their throats.

They were terrified that their beloved girl would be frightened to tears by the director’s cliff setup, and even more afraid that she might get hurt while filming a dating show.

At that moment, Wen Shiwu was indeed panicking.

She hadn’t even processed what was happening. After responding to the director that she was ready, the scene beneath her feet suddenly transformed, and everything around her seemed to collapse like a landslide.

Wen Shiwu screamed in terror.

She closed her eyes, too scared to look. When she opened them again, she found herself standing in the middle of a cliff.

The ground beneath her feet seemed to be a projected special effect, but the space around her was indeed empty, everything had collapsed. She was trapped in this narrow space with no way to escape.

Wen Shiwu: Sob sob QAQ

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes: “No one told me I’d need to borrow some courage just to film a dating show!!!”

“You can quit now if you want.” the robot replied.

The robot’s voice was simulated by software, but the person speaking was none other than the director, Shi Ke, who had just introduced himself.

Wen Shiwu felt like crying.

When she felt like crying, she couldn’t hold back, and she blurted out recklessly: “Shi Ke… more like Dung Beetle, with a name like Shi Ke!”

“Hahaha, our girl is so adorable!”

“Our girl’s little pearls are about to fall! Ahhh, you damn director, no! Dung Beetle! How could you bear to bully our sweet, soft girl like this!!!”

Shi Ke: “…”

Although he knew his name wasn’t the best, he was, after all, a well-known director in the variety show industry. No one had ever actually called him “Dung Beetle” to his face before!

Shi Ke’s face darkened. A curse was on the tip of his tongue, but he held it back: “You were the one who said you were ready just now.”

“But it’s okay if you regret it. During the challenge, as long as you admit that you have ulterior motives toward Mr. Yu, I’ll immediately spin and leap to send you away~”

Wen Shiwu: “This is coercion and extortion.”

She stubbornly turned her head away, but her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the terrifying abyss. She quickly shut her eyes again: “I don’t, and that’s final. Don’t think you can force a confession out of me!”
