I put you on a dating reality show, but I didn't make you a viral sensation!

The group quickly followed the staff to the voting area.

The polling station is in the same place as before.

Before long, all the guests had arrived.

The assistant director stood at the front, and after everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat and announced the rules:

"The voting rules are the same as the previous round. Since there are five groups of guests this time, each guest will be given five voting props."

"The female guests will start the voting process, entering individual voting rooms one by one to cast their votes anonymously. After the voting ends, we will tally the votes on-site and announce the rankings and elimination results."

After the assistant director finished speaking, staff members quickly came forward to distribute voting props to each guest.

After receiving the gifts, everyone looked somewhat preoccupied, except for Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue.

After having dinner, Su Manhua said that there were some company matters that required his decision.

So Lin Zhou just wants to finish casting his vote as soon as possible to ask his mother-in-law... cough cough, Jiang Muxue's mother about the specifics.

Jiang Muxue found this segment a bit boring and uninteresting, and thought it would be better to spend more time with Lin Zhou.

After all, once the show ends, they'll have less and less time to spend together like this.

As the buzz grew, the test broadcast room became exceptionally lively.

The number of people was almost double the usual amount.

Many people are discussing this vote.

Is this the last vote for this show?

[It seems the girl's choice is Xia Wanxing, but who will it be for the boy?]

[It definitely can't be Lin Gengxin; there's no way either of them could be eliminated!]

[With the backing of official media, the production team certainly wouldn't dare to touch them.]

【It's a pity, my little star-sweetheart, I won't be able to see you every day anymore.】

【Wait, I just started watching this live stream, why is it ending already?】

Following the director's instructions, the female guests lined up and entered the voting room one by one.

The first person to enter the voting room was Zhou Wenya.

Almost all the guests knew that the show's popularity had skyrocketed because of Lin Zhou, so Zhou Wenya wanted to get more screen time.

To appear more natural, Zhou Wenya deliberately lingered in front of each male guest for a short while. Whenever the audience thought she was going to vote for someone, she would move on to the next person. In the end, it took her about five minutes to complete the voting process.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi, who was waiting outside, seemed a little nervous.

The main reason was that Zhou Wenya gave him a somewhat aloof feeling.

Even though it had been agreed upon beforehand, he still felt uncertain.

Next was Xia Wanxing. She pushed open the door and, as she had agreed with Gu Yan, decisively placed all five tickets on the scale with Gu Yan's name on it. The whole process took less than a minute.

Although the show's popularity has surged again because of Lin Zhou, she still sticks to her choice.

Although she was a little envious of Lin Zhou's current popularity, she believed more in her own abilities. She was unwilling to stay on the show to do things that would help her gain popularity, and she disdained such behavior.

Actually, Lin Zhou's words yesterday really touched her.

After entering the entertainment industry, she almost forgot what her original aspirations were.

In pursuit of popularity and online traffic, she has done many things that go against her conscience.

Now all she wants to do is hone her acting skills and act well; nothing else matters.

Seeing Xia Wanxing's nonchalant demeanor when she came out, Gu Yan felt somewhat conflicted.

To be honest, although Xia Wanxing is considered to be a relatively high-profile celebrity on the show, he didn't feel any of her star airs when he spent time with her these past few days.

On the contrary, it's very comfortable to be around them.

Moreover, after Xia Wanxing is eliminated, who else can she team up with on the show?

Soon, the other female guests also began to enter one by one.

Jiang Muxue was ranked fourth. She voted even faster than Xia Wanxing, taking less than ten seconds in total. After entering, she found Lin Zhou's name, put all her votes on it, and then turned around and left.

After the last female guest finished casting her vote, it was the male guests' turn to enter in turn.

Lin Zhou was the last one to vote, and the voting results were tallied shortly after he finished.

Soon, the assistant director came out with the list.

"Distinguished guests, the voting results are in."

"Just like last time, the two female guests and the five male guests who receive the fewest votes will leave our show today."

Upon hearing this, the previously relaxed atmosphere instantly became tense. Jiang Yi's gaze subconsciously fell on the list in the assistant director's hand, and he silently clenched his fist.

The assistant director didn't keep them in suspense any longer and took the lead in announcing the rankings of the female guests.

"Su Man: 6 votes."

"Jiang Muxue: 6 votes."

"Su Nian: 5 votes."

Zhou Wenya: 5 votes.

Xia Wanxing: 3 votes.

Xia Wanxing received 3 votes, making her the lowest-voted female guest in this round without any doubt.

She wasn't surprised by the result, since she had already prepared to leave the show.

To her surprise, she had thought she would get zero votes, but when she learned that she still had three votes, she subconsciously looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan smiled at her. Xia Wanxing was slightly taken aback, but then she understood his intention, nodded, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Zhou Wenya breathed a sigh of relief after learning her vote count.

After all, with a fixed total number of votes, if someone gets more votes than the average, it means that the number of votes for the people who follow will definitely decrease.

Fortunately, this person wasn't myself.

"Alright, now let's announce the vote counts for the five male guests."

Lin Zhou: 7 votes.

"Song Yizhen: 6 votes"

"Lu Xiao: 5 votes"

"Gu Yan: 5 votes."

Jiang Yi: 2 votes.

Jiang Yi's face darkened upon learning the voting results.

Two votes?!

I only have two votes?!

He looked at Zhou Wenya, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although they hadn't discussed the specifics of the voting in front of the camera beforehand, they had implicitly agreed to vote for each other in private.

But now, he only got two votes?!

Even if he were stupid, he would understand that he had been tricked by Zhou Wenya.

In front of so many people, he felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, his cheeks burning.

Embarrassment, anger, and shame surged into Jiang Yi's heart, and his face was so gloomy that it was almost as if water could drip from it.

So much so that he couldn't quite control his emotions in front of the camera.

You bitch! How dare you lie to me!

Zhou Wenya simply avoided his gaze, her expression calm and undisturbed, showing no sign of remorse.

She never intended to cast all her votes for him from the beginning.

Human nature is always inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm. She can see the situation clearly and distinguish between popular sentiments. Naturally, she will not waste her precious votes on Jiang Yi, who is already unpopular and is targeting Lin Zhou at every turn.

As for casting those two votes for Jiang Yi, it was simply to avoid being seen as a publicity stunt by the audience.

Moreover, this is still the last round of voting, so I don't need to worry about voting anymore.

The assistant director ignored the undercurrent between the two; such a scene could actually increase the show's popularity, so why not?

He announced:

"The overall vote count is now complete. The two guests who have unfortunately left Heartbeat Coast this round are—Female guest: Xia Wanxing, and male guest: Jiang Yi."

In short, the final outcome of the vote was decided.
