Chapter 261 New Rules
At seven o'clock, the lights in the room softly illuminated every corner. All the guests were seated, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Zhao Yizhen sat aside, her eyes drifting to Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi sitting opposite her, and she couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in her heart.
Zhou Sibei seemed extremely excited. She held Lu Qingxi's hand with a cheerful smile on her face: "Qingqing, you are finally back! I missed you so much! Tell me quickly, which dishes did you make? I want to try them!" Lu Qingxi was infected by Zhou Sibei's enthusiasm. She smiled and pointed at the chilled cherry tomato in front of Shen Ji, and said a little embarrassedly: "In fact, I only peeled this cherry tomato. Shen Ji completed the subsequent steps."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ji immediately took over the conversation: "Don't say that, Qingxi helped me a lot throughout the whole process. It can be said that these dishes were almost all made by us together, but I was the only one in charge of cooking." Hearing this, Zhou Sibei winked at her brother Zhou Siming mischievously, as if to indicate: "Look at her, brother, you have to work hard!"
Zhou Siming was amused by his sister's eyes. He smiled, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a small tomato and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste of the small tomato spread in his mouth, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's delicious." Lu Qingxi was a little confused by Zhou Siming's sudden praise. She responded dryly: "Then you can eat more."
After that, Han Yisu also stood up from his seat, walked over gracefully, picked up a small tomato and tasted it. After tasting it carefully, his eyes fell on Lu Qingxi, and he smiled and praised: "Qingxi's cooking is delicious." Lu Qingxi felt Han Yisu's gaze and felt a little uneasy in her heart. She just felt that kind of gaze made her want to escape. She lowered her head and ate silently without responding.
Zhou Sibei saw this and immediately stepped out to smooth things over. She smiled mischievously and said, "I want to try Qingqing's cooking, too!" Then she brought the plate of tomatoes in front of her and began to taste them one by one. Her actions successfully eased the tense atmosphere at the table and also made Lu Qingxi feel a little relieved.
However, Zhao Yizhen was watching all this from the side, feeling increasingly depressed. She looked at Lu Qingxi being surrounded by people, and her heart was filled with jealousy and resentment. The meal was spent in a tense and delicate atmosphere, but everyone could see Lu Qingxi's embarrassment.
After the meal, everyone stood up, and Zhou Sibei suggested that Lu Qingxi go upstairs to rest early. She said to Lu Qingxi gently, "Qingqing, I'm so tired, please accompany me upstairs to rest early." Lu Qingxi looked at Zhou Sibei gratefully, nodded, and left together.
At midnight, under the moonlight, the quiet hut welcomed two special visitors - assistants from the program team. They did not carry the familiar blind boxes in their hands, but walked straight to the No. 4 Heart-beating Hut, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
The female assistant gently placed an exquisite bamboo tube in front of Yang Wuxi's door, while the male assistant tacitly placed another bamboo tube in front of Yue Muchen's door. The two smiled at each other, then quietly left the hut, leaving a cloud of doubt on the ground.
The barrage in the live broadcast room instantly boiled over, with the audience speculating: "Are there any new rules of the game about to be revealed?" "What secrets are hidden in these two bamboo tubes?" "Why are they only placed at their doorsteps?" A series of questions rolled in the barrage, as if they were about to break through the screen.
The program crew seemed to be enjoying this suspenseful atmosphere as well. They launched a poll on their official Weibo account: “Who do you think is the best couple in “True Heartbeat”? ” This topic immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens. Everyone voted for their favorite couple combination, hoping that their choice would become the final answer.
The voting deadline was set at 8 a.m., but the show crew didn’t seem to want to let the audience wait patiently. At 8 a.m., they posted a new message on their official Weibo account: “The blind box session has ended successfully, and we will usher in a new team formation session next! Want to know how the guests will be assigned? Then please continue to lock in our live broadcast room!”
This news once again ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and everyone expressed their willingness to wait in front of the live broadcast room on time to find out. At the same time, they were full of curiosity and expectations about the bamboo tubes in front of Yang Wuxi and Yue Muchen. What secrets are hidden in these two bamboo tubes? What roles will they play in the team formation process? Everything will be revealed in the next live broadcast.
At exactly nine o'clock, the clear and firm voice of the director team suddenly rang out at the door of Heart-Stirring House No. 4: "Male and female guests, please open the door now. According to the new rules we have set, you need to draw a stick from the bamboo tube at the door and show the camera the number on the stick you drew." After hearing this instruction, Yang Wuxi immediately walked to the door, gently turned the handle, and the door slowly opened.
There was an exquisite bamboo tube at the door with three sticks stuck in it, which was particularly eye-catching. Yang Wuxi reached out and prepared to take out one of the sticks. However, just as she gently picked up the stick tube, one of the sticks accidentally slipped to the ground. She was slightly stunned and a little helpless, but then she bent down and picked up the stick.
She carefully examined the stick in her hand and saw the number "5" clearly written on it. She showed the number to the camera with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and was obviously a little surprised by the result. Then, she looked back at the other sticks in the bamboo tube and found that there were still two sticks left, with "2" and "4" written on them.
At the same time, Yue Muchen on the other side also heard the director's instructions. He slowly opened the door and saw the bamboo tube placed at the door. He stared at the sticks in the bamboo tube, frowning, as if thinking about something. His premonition told him that this choice should be very important, and it might be related to the next important link.
A few minutes later, Yue Muchen finally made a decision. He took a deep breath and reached out to draw a stick. However, when he saw the number "2" on it, the expression on his face instantly became lost. He shook his head helplessly and showed the number to the camera.
However, Yue Muchen did not intend to end it. He quickly drew out two more sticks, "5" and "4". He tightly grasped the stick with "4" written on it, his eyes full of disappointment and unwillingness. He guessed that this number most likely represented his favorite guest, which made him feel very frustrated.
At half past nine, the female assistant appeared again in the No. 1 Heart-beating House. She held three cards in her hand, walked quickly up to the sixth floor, and gently knocked on Zhou Sibei's door.
Zhou Sibei was resting with her eyes closed in the room. She was a little surprised when she heard the knock on the door. She asked softly, "Who is it?"
The female assistant at the door responded quickly: "Hello, Miss Zhou, I am a staff member of the Heartbeat House. Today's task requires you to draw a card, please come out and check."
