I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

[We held hands! We held hands! Although the process was long and drawn out, we held hands!]

[Sister Han blushed! Her ear tips turned red! I could see it clearly with a magnifying glass!]

"Does a nod mean it or not?" — Teacher Shen, you know how to strike while the iron is hot and push your luck!

[Han Jie's glare was so intense! She was grumbling, but her body language betrayed her!]

[Ahhh, my favorite couple got together! It's like Chinese New Year!]

The host almost forgot his lines, but quickly raised the microphone after realizing what he had said:

"Congratulations to Teacher Shen and Teacher Han on successfully forming a team! It seems our Teacher Shen truly understands the principle of 'sincerity can move mountains'!"

"Please take your seats in our paired seating area!"

Shen Yihuai led Han Jingxue to the row of white sofas next to them. Gu Yan was already sitting at one end of the sofa, the seat next to him was empty.

Because Shu Zi is still squeezed in the original guest area with Su Yan Huan.

When Han Jingxue sat down, her fingers twitched, but Shen Yihuai held on tightly. He even adjusted his posture and naturally placed their clasped hands on his lap.

Han Jingxue glanced at him, but he pretended not to see her.

[She sat down but wouldn't let go! Teacher Shen's possessiveness is astounding!]

[I screenshotted Sister Han's helpless glance! Isn't that condoning it? Isn't that condoning it?]

The atmosphere on the pairing side is so strange. On one side is Gu Yan, whose wife ran away, and on the other side is Shen Yihuai, who is holding his wife tightly (doge)

[Gu Yan: Where's my wife? Where's my wife, who's such a big woman?]

[Shu Zi: I'm enjoying my melon-eating across the street, don't make a fuss! Gu Yan: The Wife-Gazing Stone]

[Sister Han actually let him hold her hand! The break really paid off! I bet right!]

The host was so excited he almost stomped his feet. Holding his cue cards, he glanced at the four guests still standing there:

"Congratulations to Teacher Shen and Teacher Han on successfully forming a team! Wow, the first two teams today were really efficient, and their goals were quite clear!"

"So, who are the guests who haven't been chosen yet?"

The host deliberately dragged out his words, and the spotlight swept over the four people, announcing, "Teacher Fang Yutong, Teacher Jiang Yunyou, Teacher Su Yanhuan, and Teacher Yu Shize!"

"And the last one with the right to choose is our fourth-ranked teacher, Fang Yutong!"

The spotlight slammed onto Fang Yutong.

"Please, Ms. Fang, choose one of the three teachers currently present."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Director Liu, who was sitting on a small stool nearby, immediately raised a megaphone: "Same-sex couples are not allowed!!!"

Fang Yutong: "..."

host:"……"

Everyone: "..."

Fang Yutong's gentle smile froze perfectly for a mere 0.1 seconds after Director Liu shouted out in a loud voice, with a hint of "don't try to find a loophole" that "you can't choose someone of the same sex."

But a skilled actress is a skilled actress after all. She quickly adjusted, and the curve of her lips became even gentler, even carrying a hint of helplessness, as if to say, "Oh, the director is so strict."

Her gaze swept lightly between the remaining Jiang Yunyou and Yu Shize.

Then, she tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking seriously, and finally her gaze fell on Yu Shize, who was sitting on a high stool.

She smiled at Yu Shize and said softly, "I choose Shize."

Yu Shize's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He looked at her, as if trying to find some other meaning in her smile, but found nothing.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and in the end he simply nodded silently, stiffly getting off the bar stool and walking up to her.

Fang Yutong gave him an impeccable smile and extended her hand. Yu Shize also extended his hand, and their fingertips touched briefly before quickly separating.

Without exchanging a word, the two walked one after the other to the pairing area and sat down in the empty seats next to Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue, with a fist's distance between them.

Fang Yutong was elegant, while Yu Shize remained calm.

As expected, I chose Yu Shize's tea; a sip of aged tea.

[Yu Shize's expression... was so complex. He seemed relieved, yet also more aggrieved (puzzling)]

Their current way of getting along is so strange—polite yet distant.

[Fang Yutong's strategy of using stillness to control movement? Silence is more intriguing than words.]

Host: "Congratulations to Ms. Fang Yutong and Mr. Yu Shize on successfully forming a team! Now, only—"

The spotlight and everyone's gaze fell on the remaining Jiang Yunyou and Su Yanhuan.

Su Yanhuan blinked, turned her head to look at Jiang Yunyou next to her, who also had a look of "Oh, so it's just the two of us now?", let out a long, resigned "sigh," and slumped her shoulders.

Jiang Yunyou scratched his head, looked at Su Yanhuan, then at the host, then grinned, revealing a bright smile, and nudged Su Yanhuan with his elbow:

"Look! Su Yanhuan! Even God couldn't bear to see us separated! We've automatically teamed up! Fate has ordained us!"

Su Yanhuan was jolted by his bump and slapped his arm away in annoyance: "Destined my foot! Nobody wants us anymore! We're just a leftover duo!"

"Who said that!"

Jiang Yunyou protested, puffing out his chest, "It's because we're both too outstanding that they dare not choose us! They're afraid of the pressure!"

Su Yanhuan: "..."

Did this person go for further studies during their break? They're so eloquent!

Su Yanhuan was successfully persuaded by him.

[Hahaha, what a ridiculous leftovers combo! Huanhuan, you're so self-aware!]

Is Youbao's confidence inherited? No one can match it!

"It's because we're both too outstanding that they dare not choose us"—Jiang Yunyou, a logical genius, I'm impressed!

[These two automatically formed a duo, a perfect match for the comedians. From now on, let's call them the "Leftovers Duo." Why are they strangely adorable?]

Huanhuan's resigned sigh cracked me up; it's so true!

The host suppressed a laugh and tried hard to maintain professionalism.

"Congratulations to teachers Jiang Yunyou and Su Yanhuan for automatically forming the final team! With that, all four teams are now assembled!"

"Next up is the check-in process that everyone's been waiting for!"

"This time, we've prepared a super luxurious and breathtaking ocean-view villa for you!"

The host waved his arm and pointed to a three-story building not far behind the campfire, brightly lit in the night, with a modern and grand design.

"The first floor is a huge common area, with a living room, dining room, open kitchen, and entertainment area all located here. It will be the main place for everyone to gather and interact over the next seven days!"

"On the second and third floors, there are two independent suites, each named with an ocean theme. Each suite has a separate living area and two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms!"

"One group stays in one suite."

【！！！！！！！】

【No, no, no! Is this right? Living together?! And they just went straight for the big shots!!!】

The production team is so daring, I don't even dare to watch anymore (evil laugh) (evil laugh)

[Upstairs, you really like it too much, don't you? (doge) (doge)]

Director Liu's voice drifted ominously from off-camera at just the right moment. He held up a megaphone, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if afraid someone might not hear him clearly:

"Important note! Teammates will stay in the same suite, but they must sleep in separate rooms!"

"This suite with two bedrooms is for you! No mixing is allowed!"

"Our program promotes healthy, positive, and pure relationships! Did everyone understand?"
