The live broadcast scene fell into a surreal silence.

The barrage of comments was filled with question marks. Since people started watching their live streams, question marks were the most frequently used symbol in the comments.

Lin Yan rejected it expressionlessly, “I don’t want to wear it.”

Lu Jin challenged, “Give me a reason.”

Did he need a reason for this?

Who would weave the red string like this?

Lin Yan almost lost his composure, “I said I wanted something ordinary…”

Lu Jin pointed out each detail, “Isn’t this ordinary? The style is the most ordinary.”

This level of comprehension…

Lin Yan had to admit defeat.

Lu Jin added, “I originally wanted to weave a hundred birds facing the phoenix.”

Lin Yan retorted, “Do you even know how to weave that? Why not weave ‘Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl’?”

Lu Jin responded, “A hundred birds facing the phoenix is more lively; we can set up a card room. ‘Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl’ can’t fill a Mahjong table.”

Lin Yan was left speechless.

“I don’t…”

Lu Jin cleared his throat and interrupted him, “Think about what the old lady said.”

What did the old lady say?

Lin Yan couldn’t remember at first, but he recalled that the old lady’s advice was not to argue.

“Uhh…” Damn you.

Sister Juan smiled for a long time and said something for Lu Jin: “Xiao Lu has taken a lot of health and safety threads.”

Lin Yan pursed his lips, and his firm rejection began to waver slightly.

Lin Yan muttered softly, “I thought you were supervising, so nothing unexpected would happen.”

Sister Juan smiled and said: “Oh, I want to see you wear it too.”

Lin Yan: “…”

Now there was no time to reject it, and Lin Yan couldn’t really reject it.

Lu Jin saw him take the oversized red string and calmly said, “Isn’t bigger better? My blessings are as vast as the mountains and as deep as the sea.”

Lin Yan didn’t want to talk to him and quickly put the red rope he had knitted into Lu Jin’s hand.

Sister Juan: “Put it on and take a photo. It will be a perfect end.”

The nightmare was not just accepting such an ugly red string; it was also putting it on and leaving photographic evidence.

Lin Yan didn’t want to waste everyone’s time, so he put it on with a cold expression.

All eyes were on Lin Yan’s wrist. His wrist was delicate, and the oversized “wristband” made it look even slimmer as if it could snap at any moment. While it wasn’t ugly, it looked quite comical compared to the thin red string on Lu Jin’s wrist.

“Puff.”

Someone couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Lin Yan’s forehead veins twitched. He looked for words and saw Lu Jin covering his mouth.

He said in disbelief: “Are you still laughing?”

It was okay when Lin Yan didn’t speak, but Lu Jin’s shoulders began to shake when he spoke.

Lin Yan: “…”

He turned cold and said, “I’ll give you three seconds, or you’ll give me back the red rope.”

Lu Jin: “Hehe.”

Lin Yan slowly rolled up his sleeves.

Lu Jin immediately stopped laughing and started to retreat, saying, “If you want to hit me, go ahead, but let’s make it clear, we haven’t reached three seconds yet.”

Lin Yan: “It’s three seconds now.”

In front of the camera, they didn’t actually start fighting.

Lin Yan took a few steps towards Lu Jin but stopped when Lu Jin reached out to hug his neck and said, “Okay, don’t be angry. Sister Juan, please take a picture for us.”

Lu Jin lifted his wrist, and their wrists were placed together to capture the red string clearly in the photo.

Lu Jin was warm, and he had a slightly sweet fragrance.

The last time they had the “wine-sharing ceremony,” Lin Yan had smelled this fragrance.

Lin Yan zoned out for a moment. He was surprised that this person liked this kind of sweet perfume.

“Lin Yan, smile.” Sister Juan called to him.

Lin Yan came back to his senses and reluctantly raised the corners of his lips.

Click.

The picture was taken.

Lu Jin took the phone back from Sister Juan, “Let me take a look, the photo is very good. Sister Juan’s photography skills are very good.”

Sister Juan smiled and said: “You both look very photogenic, no need for any touch-ups.”

Lu Jin handed the phone to Lin Yan. “Take a look.”

Lin Yan glanced at it.

His own expression was quite cold, but the person next to him was smiling like a show-off.

“It’s time to go.” Lin Yan looked at the time and felt it was almost time.

They had some distance to cover before reaching the villa, and they still had to complete their tasks.

Lu Jin also checked the time. “Okay.”

Lin Yan walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, “You go first.”

Lu Jin: “?”

Lin Yan didn’t explain, turned around, and walked towards the wishing tree.

He also had a note in his pocket and wanted to hang it up before leaving.

Lin Yan randomly picked a place and reached out to hang the note.

He then caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. He paused for a moment, then turned to look at the note next to it.

Lu Jin’s handwriting was entirely different from his childish scrawl; it was bold and vigorous.

The note read: “Hope Lin Yan can be happier. Lu.”

This was the note that he couldn’t let Lin Yan see.

Lin Yan thought about it according to Lu Jin’s thinking. He probably felt that his wish to be seen by others was not working.

Lin Yan slightly curled his lips, turned around, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

The Cameramen wanted to secretly take a close-up of the note, but Lin Yan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and said without looking back: “Don’t look.”

Cameramen: “…”

OK.

[Don’t show it?]

[Could it be that they confessed to each other?]

[What’s wrong with confessing to each other? This is a romance variety show! Why can’t they do it openly? People who don’t know would think you’re dissing each other!]

Soon, there were no people left under the Wishing Tree.

The wind gently blew the recently hung blue note, flipping it over.

On the note hung next to Lu Jin’s, it read: “Hope Lu Jin comes and goes safely, and doesn’t get tied up in a sack by someone. Lin.”

……

After Lin Yan returned, he found that Lu Jin had not gone far at all.

He was examining the lottery tube.

There were already two notes placed on the table.

Lu Jin saw him approaching and beckoned. “Come here.”

Lin Yan walked over and picked up the two sticks on the table. The words “Bad Luck” made his eyelids jump.

What kind of bizarre luck was this?

How could someone draw two “Bad Luck” in a row?

LLin Yan asked skeptically, “Did you draw these?”

Lu Jin replied, “Of course.”

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment and said, “I thought you picked them out of the cylinder.”

Lu Jin widened his eyes, “Do you see me as that kind of person?”

Lin Yan innocently replied, “Yes, you are.”

Lu Jin frowned, “How could I do something like that?”

He said, shaking the lottery tube again: “I just draw out all the Bad Luck first, then the rest must be Good Luck.”

Lin Yan: “…”

What the fuck is the difference?

“There are only two ‘Down Down Notes’ here. You won’t get another one,” Sister Juan came from the front hall and saw them playing with the lottery tubes, so she reminded them.

She added: “In fact, no one has ever drawn a ‘Bad Luck.’ You’re unique, hahaha.”

Lu Jin: “…”

Lin Yan: “Pfft.”

Lu Jin was very open-minded: “Then the Bad Luck is gone, the one that came out must be a good one.”

Thud.

A stick fell from the table.

Lu Jin picked it up and saw that he got the good luck note.

Sister Juan: “…”

She said pitifully: “No one has ever been so unlucky.”

Lu Jin’s mentality collapsed. He pushed the lottery tube to Lin Yan and said, “Try it.”

Lin Yan put both the lower lot and the winning lot back into the bucket and shook them.

After a few seconds, the sign fell out of the bucket.

Lu Jin picked it up first.

Lin Yan and Sister Juan both came over to take a look.

Sign on.

[Hahaha. ]

[Damn it, so their BE flavor comes from Teacher Lu 233333]

……

Lu Jin didn’t speak again until they got into the car.

Lin Yan put on his seat belt and said leisurely: “I didn’t expect that you would be the one holding us back.”

Lu Jin: “…”

Lin Yan: “Do you always lose money when trading stocks?”

Lu Jin: “Ahem.”

Lin Yan couldn’t help laughing: “Next time you buy that stock, let me know.”

Lu Jin whispered “Darn”, You heartless little thing.”

The heartless little thing turned a deaf ear to it.

The journey back was calm, and it was smooth sailing. Lin Yan wondered if the marriage certificates and offerings had something to do with it. They found their way back easily.

It took about an hour to drive back to the villa, and the other four people hadn’t returned yet.

The director had been waiting for a while, “Congratulations to both of you for completing all the challenge tasks.”

Lu Jin asked, “Is there a reward?”

The director replied, “That’s confidential.”

The director added, “There’s one more thing I’d like to ask of you two teachers. Tonight, please post a Weibo with a photo of the challenge location. It’s part of the promotion we agreed on.”

Lu Jin made an “OK” gesture.

Lin Yan responded with a simple “Okay.”

Since the others hadn’t returned yet, they decided to go upstairs to pack their things.

They stayed in the same room as last time. Lin Yan stuffed all his belongings into the closet and charged his phone.

Then Lin Yan covered the camera and changed his clothes.

The clothes he bought were all of the same style, and he still changed into sportswear.

[Someone’s pleading for Lin Yan to wear a white dress shirt. He looks really good in it.]

[Forget it, in these past few years, he hasn’t worn anything other than sportswear, except for important occasions.]

[Why don’t you borrow a couple of dress shirts from Teacher Lu?]

There was no knock on the door or footsteps coming downstairs.

Lin Yan simply sat down on the bed and turned on his phone to see if there were any new messages.

Yang Shu had sent several messages.

He didn’t expect Lin Yan to reply; it was more about sharing his excitement.

Because as Lin Yan and Lu Jin went through various challenges, they attracted a lot of viewers to the live broadcast.

Among them were people who weren’t particularly interested in reality dating shows but were drawn by the silliness.

During their time in the haunted house, their popularity skyrocketed.

[Yang Shu: Did you know that Mrs. Chu is editing a new video now? I’m so looking forward to it. ]

[Lin Yan: Don’t talk so disgustingly.]

[Yang Shu: There are a lot of fans coming in the super talk, are you really not interested in seeing it?]

Lin Yan replied coldly, “No.”

Then he opened Weibo and skillfully switched to his alternate account.

Number of followers: 1.

Lin Yan: “?”

When he took a look, it turned out to be A Skillful Heart Thief.

The A Skillful Heart Thief went online during this period and also discovered that Lin Yan had removed him from his followers.

[A Skillful Heart Thief: Don’t be so cold, let’s be friends]

[No Name Don’t Look: No, we won’t. No following, no likes.]

[A Skillful Heart Thief:…]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: Are you sure?]

[No Name Don’t Look: Sure.]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: I admire your self-confidence]

[No Name Don’t Look: You’re annoying.]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: If I’m so annoying, why don’t you block me?]

Right.

Why not block him?

Lin Yan thought about it and planned to block him.

[A Skillful Heart Thief: You are the first person to watch my video.]

Lin Yan paused and let out a “tsk” sound.

[No Name Don’t Look: You didn’t annoy other people?]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: Oh, they didn’t watch the whole thing. They saw the beginning, thought I was a hater, and blocked me.]

[No Name Don’t Look:…]

Honestly, that kind of video really looked like the work of a hater.

Lin Yan contemplated blocking him but felt a bit sorry.

He imagined a clumsy fan who lovingly edited videos because of their affection for him and his partner but was not accepted or understood by other fans, wandering aimlessly trying to make friends.

Hmm…

It seemed kind of pitiful.

Lin Yan decided not to block him.

He wasn’t the type to reject a fan.

But he had no intention of getting closer to the fan world; no following.

[A Skillful Heart Thief: Give it a try.]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: Hey, you didn’t block me. You’re such a good person. ]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: So, I’ll send you some signed photos of Lu Jin. They’re all real. How many do you want? ]

[A Skillful Heart Thief: Or do you like Lin Yan? It doesn’t matter, I also have his autographed photos, you can have as many as you want.]

Lin Yan didn’t remember signing many autographed photos, and only occasionally used them as lucky draw bonuses.

It was probably those fake ones you could buy for five yuan each on Taobao.

He frowned and was about to reply when there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Lu Jin poked his head inside. “Do you have a moment?”

Lin Yan: “?”

Lu Jin: “Teacher Lin, can you sign some autographed photos? I have a friend who likes you very much.”

Lin Yan stood up and walked over, “Okay, bring it.”

Lu Jin pulled out a stack of photos.

Lin Yan glanced at him silently and then shut the door without a word.

It was as thick as a loaf of bread. How do you call that “a few”?
