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

???

"...Is there a difference?!" Shu Zi glared at him.

[The difference is huge! One is "almost a kiss," the other is "a real kiss!"]

[Shu Zi's ears turned bright red! She panicked! Hahahaha, even Zi Zi can be shy sometimes~]

"The difference is," he paused, looking at her increasingly flushed face, his voice lowering slightly:

"One is a controllable safe distance, and the other..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Shu Zi understood.

One is a controllable "performance," while the other might... get out of control.

He looked into her eyes and slowly added, "Which one do you want?"

Shu Zi: "!!!"

She abruptly took a half-step back, nearly bumping into the person behind her: "I don't want either of them!"

"Okay," Gu Yan replied. "Then when we're filming later, be careful to control the distance."

Shu Zi: "..."

Is this something she can control?!

And what was with that tone of his?! It even sounded a little regretful!

"Which one do you want?" — Ahhh, Gu Yan, you're so good at this!!!

[Shu Zi: I don't want either! Gu Yan: Oh, so you want it then (nods)]

"Gu Yan, do you even believe what you're saying?!"

The atmosphere between these two is amazing; I blushed even though they didn't do anything.

She quickly changed the subject: "Let's think about how to film it first!"

Gu Yan saw through it but didn't say anything:

"The first one might be unstable on a kayak, so consider a water bike. The second one requires a stable platform. If we can change the equipment, sitting on a kayak might be possible."

"The third one..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the photo that seemed to suggest a kiss but wasn't quite there:

"It's easier to maintain a stable posture in shallow water with a rocky background."

Listening to his calm analysis, Shu Zi couldn't help but glare at him again: "How can you be like this..."

"What is this?" Gu Yan looked at her.

"...Stay calm."

Gu Yan looked at her, a slight smile curving his lips: "Not really."

Shu Zi: "?"

"You really want to hear it?" Gu Yan asked, his gaze fixed on her face with an ambiguous meaning.

Shu Zi's heart skipped a beat when he stared at her, and she quickly looked away, saying, "Never mind, never mind, don't say anything more!"

She was afraid he would say something shocking that would scare her and everyone else present to death.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the heat in her ears wouldn't subside anytime soon.

"No, not exactly"—he admitted it! He admitted he lost his composure!

【"You really want to hear it?" — I do! She won't listen, but I will!!! Gu Yan, tell me quickly!!!】

[Shu Zi, don't run away! Let him talk! Is there anything my esteemed VIP status can't hear?!]

I could listen to this conversation between the two of them a hundred times; every word has a profound meaning.

Nearby, other groups were also looking at the photos.

The three cards that Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue drew were:

#2: Funny photos of a boy carrying a girl on his shoulders (Requirements: cheerful and funny).

number 8:

The boy lifted the girl up by supporting her thigh with one hand, and the girl naturally wrapped her arms around the boy's neck. The two looked at each other in the seawater, with water splashing everywhere.

The boy had a slightly roguish smile on his face, while the girl's eyes widened slightly, showing a mixture of surprise and barely suppressed laughter.

The background is the sea under the setting sun.

Requirements: Show a sense of power, a captivating charm, and that sudden, heart-fluttering moment.

#12: The two people look at each other in the waves, the moment the water splashes up (Requirements: tension, storytelling).

Han Jingxue looked at the photo of "holding him with one hand," remained silent for a few seconds, and then looked up at Shen Yihuai.

Shen Yihuai also looked at the photo, raised an eyebrow, and said, "This one is not bad."

A half-smile played on his lips as he looked at Han Jingxue: "Teacher Han, how was the collaboration?"

Han Jingxue: "..."

[Shen Yihuai's smile! He's clearly up to no good!]

[Sister Han: Do I look happy to you?]

[One-handed hug! This pose is hilarious~ Teacher Shen's arm strength looks pretty good (doge)]

[I'm already looking forward to it! The chemistry between Shen and Han is off the charts!]

Fang Yutong and Yu Shize drew:

#4: A candid shot of the two splashing water at each other (Requirements: natural and joyful).

#6: Imitate the romantic pose of the male and female protagonists spinning and embracing in the water in classic movies (Requirements: romantic and beautiful).

Number 10: The boy lifts the girl up, and the girl pretends to fly (Requirements: sense of strength, joy).

Fang Yutong looked at the photo, and the gentle smile on her face almost disappeared.

Spin, hug, lift high?

This……

Yu Shize also looked at the two challenging photos, his brows furrowing slightly. But remembering his manager's words about "performing well," he took a deep breath and said earnestly:

"Let's give it a try."

Jiang Yunyou and Su Yanhuan drew:

#1: A playful photo of a girl covering a boy's eyes from behind (Requirements: playful, interactive).

Number 5: The moment when two people run hand in hand on the shallow water and look back with a smile (Requirements: youth and vitality).

#11: A boy wipes the water off a girl's face, and the girl closes her eyes in a tender moment (Requirements: gentleness, care).

Jiang Yunyou looked at the photo, then glanced at the photos of Yu Shize and Fang Yutong next to it, and nodded:

"This looks alright, at least we don't have to spin around."

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Blindfolded is easy! Running while holding hands is alright too! Wiping your face...wiping your face shouldn't be a problem, right?"

[Hahaha, Fang Yutong and Yu Shize drew a "high" difficulty level!]

[Can these two "polite colleagues" pull off a spinning hug and a piggyback ride?]

[Youbao Huanhuan got an easy draw this time! Congratulations!]

Fang Yutong: I can't go on. Yu Shize: Let's give it our all!

The ten-minute preparation time passed quickly.

Director Liu's loudspeaker blared:

"Alright everyone! Time's up! Grab your photos and ideas, let's go! Meet at the pier!"

The group traveled by car to the pier.

The sun shines brightly on the sea, and the waves sparkle.

Kayaks and water bikes were moored at the dock, along with motorboats and photographers filming the scene.

Director Liu stood on the shore, watching each group choose their mode of transportation, and suddenly spoke:

"Well, safety comes first. Although we have insurance, we'd better avoid using it if possible, as the process is too troublesome."

Everyone: "..."

Before going into the water, Director Liu added:

"Relax when you're shooting, don't hold back. Think about the templates you drew, think about that feeling. If you really can't find the feeling..."

He paused, then looked at Shu Zi and Gu Yan, "Just think about those three bags of snacks tonight."

Shu Zi: "..."

This is a threat, isn't it? This is definitely a threat, isn't it?
