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

"Su Yanhuan, you definitely did this on purpose!"

"Jiang Yunyou, how dare you say that to me? 'The Petrel' ten times? Why don't you let me go and argue with the seagulls!"

Director Liu's smile froze instantly.

He looked at the "Seagull" on the left ten times, then at the upside-down "Conquer" on the right, his lips twitched violently twice, and his temples throbbed.

He held back and held back, finally squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"You two... this combination of arts and sports is quite unique. Okay, it's feasible and doesn't violate any rules, so let's leave it at that."

He waved his hand weakly, as if to say, "Get away from me and stop making me angry."

[Hahahaha, they really are sabotaging each other to the point of mutual destruction!]

[Director Liu: My blood pressure spiked!]

[The seaside version of "The Petrel" + the upside-down version of "Conquer"—what a bizarre combination!]

Won't this mission lose you fans if it gets broadcast?! (But it's so funny)

Jiang Yunyou and Su Yanhuan had already glared at each other like fighting cocks and began a new round of friendly negotiations.

Director Liu took a deep breath, then another, and yet another, forcibly calming his urge to yell, and looked at the next group with a sliver of hope:

"Fang Yutong and Yu Shize's group!"

The two flipped the question board at the same time.

Fang Yutong's sign reads: "Teach me a simple guitar piece. Be patient until I learn it."

Yu Shize's inscription reads: "Let's work together and use materials from the beach to create a creative work of art."

As Director Liu looked at the two question boards, the tense muscles on his face visibly relaxed, and a hint of gratified satisfaction, as if "heaven has eyes," even flashed in his eyes.

Finally! Finally, a set of actions from a normal human being!

He was in tears, but felt a little bit healed.

He nodded, his tone softening considerably and carrying a hint of approval:

"Hmm, not bad. It's interactive, has requirements, and even a touch of romance."

"One teaches piano, and the other collaborates on composition. It's great; everyone should learn from this."

That last sentence was clearly meant for the two clowns in front of him.

[Oh? Fang Yutong and Yu Shize have finally figured it out?]

[Director Liu: Finally, things are back to normal (tears streaming down his face)]

Compared to Youbao and Huanhuan's mutual sabotage, this group is finally on the right track.

Director Liu felt like he'd been half-saved. With this small measure of relief, he looked towards the next group, his expectations slightly lifted.

"Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue's group!"

Shen Yihuai's inscription reads: "Teach me to dive, teach me seriously, don't be perfunctory."

Han Jingxue's sign reads: "Stay away from me, keep a distance of more than three meters, and don't speak unless necessary."

[Shen Yihuai, your desire to get close to Sister Han is practically written all over your face!]

One is desperately trying to stick together, while the other is desperately trying to draw a line down the middle!

Shen Yihuai: I want to get closer. Han Jingxue: No, you don't.

The sense of distance is perfectly maintained.

[Teacher Shen, is your "teaching seriously and not perfunctorily" something that Sister Han taught you before, and she didn't teach it seriously? (doge)]

Director Liu watched as one person desperately moved forward while the other desperately retreated, especially noticing the glaring "Stay away from me" sign on Han Jingxue's board.

My blood pressure, which had just gone down, seems to be rising again.

He selectively ignored Han Jingxue's request, looked at Shen Yihuai, and tried to speak in a calm tone:

"Okay, there's interaction and some tension, that's fine."

Only Shu Zi, who was still feeling dizzy from exhaustion, managed to open her heavy eyelids, glanced at Han Jingxue's worksheet, and gave a very slight, knowing smile.

Then he quickly reverted to his "I'm about to die" dejected state.

If others don't know why, how could she not know?

Last night, I was on the phone with Fang Ran until late at night. At one point, her back started to ache from sitting for so long, so she went to the window for some fresh air.

The night outside the villa was hazy, with only a few streetlights casting a dim yellow light.

As luck would have it, she saw her senior sister and Shen Yihuai walking past the villa from the shadows of the path on the side, one after the other, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Han Jingxue walked ahead, while Shen Yihuai followed a step or two behind at a leisurely pace.

Then, Han Jingxue, who was walking in front, seemed to stop, as if she was about to turn around and say something.

Just as she turned to the side, Shen Yihuai, who was following behind, suddenly quickened his pace by two steps.

With lightning speed and a forceful pull, he grabbed her wrist and drew her slightly toward him.

With his other hand, he gently supported her cheek and leaned down to kiss her.

The movement was so fast it only took a moment, but with Shu Zi's 5.0 vision and her unusually clear mind after staying up all night, she saw it clearly!

Shen Yihuai kissed Han Jingxue's lips firmly and purposefully!

Shu Zi was so scared that she almost threw her phone away. She thought she was hallucinating from staying up all night and having some kind of restricted imagination!

She rubbed her eyes hard, and when she looked again, the figure had already gone far away.

Gee tut.

No wonder... no wonder my senior sister has been radiating an incredibly strong "don't touch me" aura since this morning.

The task description specifically emphasizes "maintaining a distance of more than three meters".

So this is because they were ambushed, and they're furious and want to completely sever ties and be on high alert!

Director Liu took a deep breath; it was finally the last couple's turn.

After all that mutual hurt, standard templates, and chase-and-flight, shouldn't this pair finally have some different... normal interactions?

He prayed silently, cleared his throat, and put on his professional smile that said, "I'm really looking forward to it."

His gaze swept over Shu Zi, who was still swaying slightly from sleep, and Gu Yan, who had a calm expression, and he raised his voice:

"Finally—let's see, Gu Yan, Shu Zi, your group!"

The camera zooms in on the two people's whiteboards.

Both of them flipped the board at the same time.

On Shuzi's whiteboard, there were only two simple and straightforward words: Sleep.

On Gu Yan's whiteboard, there were only two simple words: Sleep.

Director Liu: "..."

[Hahahaha, holy crap! That teamwork!]

[Sleep! Sleep! Did you two go stealing landmines together last night? You're so sleepy!]

[Gu Yan, did you secretly read what Shu Zi wrote?! Although I don't think Shu Zi intended to hide it at all.]

[What the hell?! Sleeping! This task was completed way too easily!]

Jiang Yunyou's eyes widened as he looked at Director Liu: "Huh? You can do that?"

Su Yanhuan was also stunned and blurted out, "Sleep? Sleep what? How will you sleep? Where will you sleep?"

Shen Yihuai first glanced at Shu Zi, then looked at the calm-faced Gu Yan, and sneered. Then he turned his head and looked at Director Liu with a "watching the show" expression.

Director Liu's professional fake smile cracked.

His expression shifted from anticipation to a jolt of shock in his eyes upon seeing the question board, and finally to rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

Finally, the mood settled on a mixture of shock, absurdity, and a feeling of wanting to swear, as if thinking, "Are you guys messing with me?"

He pointed at the two whiteboards that seemed to be mocking him, his voice cracking:

"Who...who wrote this?!"
