Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

The beach lights were bright, making He Mier's cold and beautiful face glow. The slightly oversized men's coat only accentuated her alluring curves.

Tan Wen was on the embankment when he saw William leading He Mier out of the car from a distance.

He immediately sensed that things were heading in a bad direction, and he was about to play the villain and interfere with them when he was stopped by the production crew.

Tan Wen's filming director told him that according to the program's rules, he could not come from the other side of the island.

Tan Wen would not give up easily; a slow start leads to a slow finish.

"Brother Chang, I'll just say hello to them and then leave."

Chang Feng was Tan Wen's filming director. He observed Tan Wen for a whole day, and even the slightest facial expressions were recorded in detail.

It could be said that he understood Tan Wen's day better than Tan Wen himself, so he was fully aware of Tan Wen's thoughts.

It's just that she got anxious because He Mi'er was interacting with other male guests.

"Xiao Tan, you will all be going to the Heartbeat House tomorrow. You'll have plenty of time to spend together then, so there's no need to rush."

"Brother, I'll just wave to them from a distance and let them know I'm here."

Chang Feng firmly shook his head and advised:

"It's being broadcast live right now, and a lot of people are watching. If you just barge into someone else's date like that, you'll get criticized, and you might even be labeled as emotionally unstable."

"It's normal to act crazy occasionally when making friends; emotional stability comes at a different price." Tan Wen is still trying to persuade her.

"Is this how you make friends? I don't even bother to call you out on it," Chang Feng thought to himself. Just as he was about to continue trying to dissuade him, the director's voice came through his earpiece, "Let him go."

To enhance the show's effect, the production team will deliberately create obstacles and resistance to alter the emotional trajectory.

What they least want to see is the guests being locked in too quickly, as that would lack drama and tension.

William and He Mi'er seem to be getting along well, with many viewers in the comments and live chat starting to ship them as a couple and even giving them a couple name.

If things continue to go smoothly, this storyline will basically be ruined. Since Tan Wen has taken the initiative to step forward and provide material for the program, he is naturally more than happy to do so.

Rules are dead, people are alive.

"During editing, when He Mi'er put her hand on William's forearm, we immediately cut into Tan Wen's cold facial expression."

Director Lei Yi began arranging the shots.

"I knew he wasn't being cold. I searched frame by frame, or switched from other scenes. In short, I had to create a dramatic effect."

······

After receiving the instructions, Chang Feng immediately signaled to Tan Wen that he could go over.

Tan Wen invited Lu Yuxiao to come along, but Lu Yuxiao shook her head, "Do you want me to wait for you?"

"Yes, I'll say hello and come back."

"OK."

······

"Are you hungry? Shall we go eat?"

William asked Hemir, as they were walking along the coastline.

He Mi'er nodded slightly, her gaze fixed straight ahead, lost in thought.

"Let's go," William said. "Hmm? Are you feeling unwell?"

He was so engrossed in the pink atmosphere that he didn't notice that He Mi'er wasn't in a very high mood.

"No...wait, is that Tan Wen?" He Mi'er asked, blinking her big, surprised eyes.

William followed Hemier's gaze and saw a handsome man with refined features striding confidently toward them.

William's eyebrows twitched slightly. During the day, he had seen that Tan Wen was very attentive to He Mi'er, so he must have feelings for her. Therefore, when he saw him coming, he immediately became wary.

"Long time no see." Tan Wen flashed a bright smile at He Mi'er, then nodded to William.

He Mi'er stepped forward briskly, "What brings you here?"

"Um... I just... wanted to say hello to you, so I came over."

He Mi'er nodded and smiled slightly, thinking to herself, "Is this how you flirt so aggressively?"

Thinking about how he poured himself four cups of tea at noon, I felt that this person was too straightforward and probably hadn't been in a relationship much.

"He has absolutely no sense of propriety."

"Can't you be a little more dignified?"

"Relationships are all about competition and fighting, and I think Tan Wen did the right thing."

"I just came from Lu Yuxiao's live stream, and I feel sorry for Xiao Luyu."

After Tan Wen appeared, the comments section erupted in heated discussion.

"We're just about to go eat, let's go together."

William's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained friendly. "Yes, let's go eat together."

"Okay." Seeing William's twitching lips, Tan Wen found it amusing. "Haha, just kidding. Alright, I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow."

William breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, while He Mier looked regretful; she had actually wanted to talk to Tan Wen more.

Just then, Tan Wen leaned close to He Mi'er's ear without warning and whispered, "The suspension bridge effect."

He Mi'er's body trembled slightly. Countless goosebumps appeared on her flawless, fair shoulders, eventually spreading to her towering, white breasts. She instinctively tried to run away.

She managed to steady herself, but her expression was slightly off; her mouth was slightly open as she stared at Tan Wen with a hint of confusion.

"Push in, quickly zoom in! Why did this kid launch a surprise attack?" Lei Yi slapped his thigh in frustration.

Tan Wen turned and left, leaving behind the two people whose hearts had been stirred.

He felt he had handled things quite well, both making his presence known to He Mi'er so that she would know he cared about her, and giving her space without being too clingy.

There was no other way; he couldn't go too far, or he would be heavily criticized by netizens.

The "suspension bridge effect" was meant to leave a subtle impression on He Mi'er, making her wonder if her racing heartbeat in the SUV was actually a sign of attraction.

······

The Cayenne moved steadily through the night.

Lu Yuxiao: "Why aren't you sitting in the back?"

Tan Wen: "Do I look that clueless about social interactions?"

Lu Yuxiao: "..."

+1000 yuan.

Tan Wen: "Want some seafood? It won't make you gain weight, it's on me."

Lu Yuxiao: "Are you willing to spend the money?"

Tan Wen: "I've always been generous in front of girls."

Lu Yuxiao: "..."

+1000 yuan.

Tan Wen: "Seriously, you didn't eat much tonight."

Lu Yuxiao: "Alright, you don't need to apologize to me this way. I'm not angry anymore."

Tan Wen: "What do you mean? When did I ever wrong you?"

Lu Yuxiao: "..."

+1000 yuan.

Sure enough, teasing is more cost-effective than licking. System, you don't understand love!

Back at the villa, Lu Yuxiao stayed in the room assigned to her, staring blankly at her phone.

A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Lu Yu got up and opened the door. No one was there. There was a paper bag hanging on the doorknob. She opened the paper bag and found the dessert she had wanted to eat.

Her brows finally relaxed, she snorted, and closed the door.

Tan Wen and Ao Ruipeng were in the same room. Tan Wen noticed that Ao Ruipeng was panting heavily, as if he had just come back from a run.

At 10:30 PM, I started sending text messages to people I was interested in. (I couldn't reveal my personal information to them.)

Tan Wen had nothing to hesitate about. Since he had to provoke He Mi'er, he would send her text messages for the next twenty days or so.

"Remember the suspension bridge effect."

The message was clearly directed at him; He Mi'er knew immediately that it was from him.

He edited the message and sent it to the program team.

Sending this message serves two purposes: first, to subtly hint at something to He Mi'er, and second, to let her know that he cares about her.

After sending the text message, Tan Wen lay down on the bed.

"Who did you send it to?" Tan Wen asked Ao Ruipeng.

"And you?" Ao Ruipeng asked in return. The two looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke.

Half an hour later, at the instruction of the production team, the two sat facing each other and began receiving text messages.
