When I Woke Up, I Had Three Romantic Partners - Chapter 4

“This rule is fair, but also unfair, because…”

Looking at the two dolls offered to her, and then looking at the two dolls in front of Si Jiamo, Chi Jinqing deeply suspected that these people might have planned this.

Si Jiamo didn’t accept the dolls. Instead, while Chi Jinqing was hesitating about whose doll she should take, Si Jiamo glanced at her, and then handed her own doll to Feng Yan, who had recently risen to prominence by relying on a villain character.

“Please take good care of me for the time we’ll be together.”

She also gave an apologetic nod to the other female idol who offered her a doll: “My apologies.”

The female idol knew it was impossible to get a response from Si Jiamo and could only shake her head regretfully.

Feng Yan was a bit surprised that Si Jiamo accepted her doll. She had only offered it because she felt that among the people present, only Si Jiamo and she shared a common topic. Getting a response now was quite unexpected.

However, being a veteran actress, she quickly put on a smile, calmly accepted the doll, and said, “Please take good care of me.”

Seeing that Si Jiamo had already exchanged dolls and agreed to cohabitate with someone else during the variety show, Chi Jinqing felt her mind buzzing, but she had no right to interfere with Si Jiamo’s decision.

Under the expectant gazes of the two people next to her, Chi Jinqing accepted Luo Wanshuang’s doll—the one who had approached her from the beginning—and handed her own doll to the other person, apologizing to the second female actress who offered a doll: “I’m sorry, I think Xiaoshuang’s personality is a better fit for me.”

Luo Wanshuang shyly accepted Chi Jinqing’s doll, hugging the little cat doll tightly, almost wanting to keep it forever. Her idol had exchanged dolls with her, and her idol was going to live with her. Wuwuwu, she truly couldn’t describe her current feeling; she was simply ecstatic.

She was genuinely afraid that she might not be able to resist drooling over Chi Jinqing at night. What would she do if her idol disliked her then?

But…

But…

She really couldn’t handle it!

Sister is too beautiful, wuwu!

Chi Jinqing looked young, but her cuteness was combined with a hint of youthful temptation, making people feel that she was very suitable to be brought home.

Facing Luo Wanshuang’s almost obsessive gaze, Chi Jinqing was somewhat distracted. Her mind was filled with the fact that Si Jiamo had agreed to live with someone else.

It didn’t feel so frustrating when she read it in the diary, but seeing it in reality now made it very difficult to accept.

Although she also chose someone else, she still felt uncomfortable, adopting a mindset of: You chose someone, so I will choose someone too.

Luo Wanshuang looked cute and spoke sweetly; she was a vibrant, cheerful university student. Chi Jinqing’s own current mentality was that of a university student, and she felt that staying with the other people might expose her quickly. Therefore, choosing Luo Wanshuang, who was still in college, might be better.

The main point was that Chi Jinqing didn’t want Si Jiamo to think that she couldn’t live without her.

After Chi Jinqing accepted the doll, she felt a strong gaze on her back. That feeling was as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.

The source of this gaze was obvious without having to look, but Chi Jinqing didn’t turn around. Since she was here and had made her choice, she had to work hard and not let the entertainment industry discard her.

Her future self-had worked so hard to earn this honor; how could she let herself down?

Just like that, under immense pressure, Chi Jinqing endured, watching the remaining two people smile helplessly and form a team.

Three pairs of people had chosen their cohabitation partners for the duration of the show, but this wasn’t permanent. There would be a testing period, and only the two people who persisted and reached the end would receive the grand gift package sent by the production team.

Although the grand gift package wasn’t anything strictly essential, it contained something highly desirable: an endorsement deal—an endorsement for a high-end ring.

Therefore, for the sake of this endorsement, everyone was trying their best to cooperate with their partner.

This was essentially like a matchmaking process; only the successful individuals would win. In other words, this program allowed for open and honest “fake dating.”

While there were couples who genuinely walked out of the show holding hands, they were rare, so the requirements for the winners of the endorsement were also very high.

After choosing partners, the next step was choosing rooms.

The requirement for choosing rooms was simple: an arm wrestling contest. The last person standing would get to choose first.

The first person to compete was a singer. She had debuted eight years ago, and recently, her old songs were covered by others. Coupled with her using this momentum to create a new song, she had experienced a resurgence in popularity.

She was the one who was rejected by Si Jiamo earlier, and her opponent could not be from the same team, so she had to be from one of the other two teams.

Feng Yan looked at the motionless Chi Jinqing and Luo Wanshuang and decided to go first.

She sat down across from the singer: “I’ll go.”

It wasn’t appropriate for Si Jiamo to step forward again, as she had just rejected the singer. Whether Si Jiamo won or lost, it wouldn’t look good and people might talk. But it was fine for Feng Yan to step forward. She was senior, had debuted a long time ago, and was a veteran actress who started acting as a child.

She had been filming since the age of seven, which was twenty-three years now. Her participation wasn’t seen as relying on seniority to oppress others.

The singer had also debuted eight years ago, and her songs were once popular all over the internet, but she later took a break for training, so she lost some momentum.

The two sat on stools, hands clasped together, both exerting force.

The first person to compete always drew more attention, as this represented their team’s face.

The two fought fiercely, their faces flushed, and their hands were strained to the point of being a mix of blue and white.

However, their intense struggle didn’t cause much reaction; the bullet screen comments were all discussing the doll selection incident just now.

Star Map: When accepting the doll just now, did Si Jiamo look at Chi Jinqing before accepting it?

Little Meat Foam: Nonsense, maybe she was just looking at the camera. My jiejie doesn’t even know Chi Jinqing and hasn’t worked with her, how could she look at her? You wouldn’t be Chi Jinqing’s fan, would you? Is your master so great that everyone has to like her?

Jinqing Good Luck: Don’t start a fight above. We fans didn’t say that Qingqing had to cling to your movie queen, but she definitely looked over here just now.

Jinqing Good Luck: It’s strange though, why are you Meat Foam Eggplants not watching your jiejie’s live stream? Why are you coming to spray us in the Koi Family live stream?

Little Han Math 130: Pure passerby, no bias, I’ve been paying attention since the beginning. Through the camera angle, you can indeed see that Si Jiamo secretly looked at Chi Jinqing more than twice, and that look was not innocent.

Meat Foams: Bullshit, absolutely not! You must be an anti-sent by a rival! How did I not see anything suspicious? My jiejie looks at everyone with that same deep gaze, okay?

Si Jiamo’s fans were very fierce fighters; essentially, one could take on five others.

So, the passersby were quickly defeated, saying that the fans were unreasonable and wouldn’t allow others to speak the truth.

Less than an hour after the broadcast began, the internet was already in a chaotic fight. It must be said that the director understood fan psychology.

At this point, Feng Yan and the female singer finally had a result. The female singer gradually ran out of energy and ultimately lost.

Next up was Chi Jinqing’s team.

Luo Wanshuang bravely stepped forward, playfully winking at Chi Jinqing: “Sister, watch me, I’ll definitely win!”

Chi Jinqing was amused by her words: “I believe you.”

Luo Wanshuang giggled, made a cheering gesture, and declared: “I feel like I have endless strength right now!”

Si Jiamo glanced at Chi Jinqing, whose eyes were slightly curved in a smile, and her expression became even more subdued.

She watched the battle with her arms crossed. Because the previous match against the female singer consumed a lot of energy, and with the eighteen-year-old Luo Wanshuang being young and full of vigor, Feng Yan lost.

Although she lost, Feng Yan wasn’t annoyed, just looking at Si Jiamo with a slight regret. Si Jiamo massaged her palm, which had several deep red marks, and said in a cool voice, “It’s okay.”

Feng Yan was quite embarrassed: “I didn’t expect this to be a task requiring so much physical strength. You’ll have to work hard later.”

Si Jiamo lowered her long eyelashes: “Mhm.”

Feng Yan looked at Si Jiamo, who was massaging her hand with her eyes lowered, and couldn’t help but swallow. No wonder the entertainment industry said that Si Jiamo was a rare beauty and the “Queen of the GL circle.”

At first, Feng Yan didn’t believe it. Although she had watched many of Si Jiamo’s TV dramas, red carpet videos, and magazine covers, she still thought that a real person, no matter how stunning, wouldn’t make her heart flutter.

But when she actually saw Si Jiamo and felt that kind of aggressively beautiful presence, she felt her heart skip a beat. Si Jiamo was truly the kind of person you would instantly fall for.

Moreover, because of the hand massage, the two were very close, so close that she could clearly see the smooth, pale cheek where even the pores were almost invisible.

She subconsciously held her breath.

She felt like she might be done for. She had vowed never to fall for anyone again, but this time she might have to break her promise.

Her nose caught the faint scent of the other person’s perfume, and her eyes were filled with the impact of this person’s beauty. Especially when such a beauty lowered her eyes to massage your hand, who could resist?

Even a straight person would be bent by her, let alone the fact that Feng Yan was already gay.

The fact that the other person came to this variety show also proved that she was gay, right? Did that mean she still had a chance?

Seeing that her hand had recovered, Si Jiamo quickly let go, maintaining a polite distance: “Alright, let’s rest now.”

Feng Yan looked at Si Jiamo, who had instantly created a distance between them, and was slightly slow to react: “Ah… okay.”

Luo Wanshuang and the opposing team with the singer began their match. Luo Wanshuang, also thanks to Chi Jinqing’s support, bravely and completely defeated her opponent.

She looked at Chi Jinqing with sparkling eyes, like a small puppy waiting for praise.

Her appearance made Chi Jinqing laugh, and Chi Jinqing praised her as she wished.

“Xiaoshuang is so good, so amazing, so strong.”

Luo Wanshuang laughed sheepishly, completely like a small fan fighting for her idol. She tried hard not to be so obsessive, but when she met Chi Jinqing’s encouraging, affectionate eyes, she felt unable to control the smile on her face, smiling so hard that her gums showed.
