Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Oops, I underestimated him
Hunt Love APP's first official Heartbeat message fresh out of the oven, with the backend of the New Flag Technology company automatically recording the first message as per the written program.
"The first step of a thousand-mile journey, the debut of a new user."
The nine guests' phones all received the "Hunt Love" splash welcome at the same time, with Xu Qingyan's avatar hanging above the cover, and a row of golden letters emerging like flowing water.
"Some are letting go, some are falling in love in the wind...... how about grabbing a meal together?"
At the same time, this line appeared on all the live broadcast screens, the effect was like the production team used a megaphone across all channels.
"What is this?" the guests exclaimed in surprise.
Meanwhile, with its popularity somewhat diminished, the Celebrity Observer room quickly caught up and explained the sentiment behind Hunt Love APP, snatching meals with no awkwardness at all.
What the what, Xu Qingyan rolled his eyes, thinking that it was no big deal that his quick reflexes snagged the first kill.
He continued to swipe on his phone screen, seemingly distracted. Heartbeat rating... not interested, Love Manor, his review was that it couldn't compare with QQ Farm.Almost at the same time, the splash screen appeared again, this time it was Liu Renzhi making use of Love Manor's gifting feature first, sending a bunch of flowers for 9.99 to Pei Muchan.
Everyone went wow again!!
Pei Muchan just smiled politely, there was no apparent emotion. She lowered her gaze while instinctively glancing sideways at Xu Qingyan with the corner of her eye.
The other side's features were clear and bright; while everyone else was chatting and laughing, he kept his head down fiddling with the new phone, and didn't look up even at the sounds of egging on, his demeanor lacking enthusiasm.
The rest of the guests were now having fun, starting to dig into the various functionalities of this Frankenstein's monster of an app, with Hunt Love APP becoming very popular on the scene.
As for whether these people were genuinely interested or just giving face to the production team, that's another matter.
Shen Jinyue was the first one to plant vegetables in the manor, and she also received a sports car gifted by You Zijun. A 648 sports car, and rich brother could swipe without even blinking an eye.
About a few minutes later, a very abrupt... timi!! sounded in the living room.
In an instant, everyone quieted down.
All eyes turned in unison, focusing on the person slouched lazily on the sofa. Suddenly, Pei Muchan sitting next to that person felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
Oops, underestimated him.
Xu Qingyan, caught downloading a game on his new phone, had a slightly awkward expression.
"Cough cough, this phone downloaded a game all by itself, I need to see what's going on."
Hearing this, Shen Jinyue glanced at the Love Farm game on her own phone screen and suddenly didn't feel so keen on it. Seeing that the cameras were not pointing at her, she sneakily quit and downloaded a game.
Fortunately, the atmosphere did not freeze due to this little interlude, and Bai Jinze sent a few lines to Nian Shuyu, roughly meaning he was happy to be with her.
It seemed like sweet talk, signaling an invitation to shoot a photo together, gauging her reaction to pair up for the upcoming Heartbeat Photo Shoot.
Song Enya sent a set of cute stickers to everyone, and to everyone's surprise, Nian Shuyu and Chen Feiyu chatted away enthusiastically.
The few people in the Celebrity Observer room all went "Oh," as if they caught a whiff of some juicy gossip.
Chef Huang broadcasted for six hours last night before going to rest, unable to withstand the high-intensity work due to his age, causing the popularity of the Celebrity Observer's live stream to drop somewhat.
Fortunately, today the team of five gathered again, and with the underlying support of yesterday's three not-so-hot searches that didn't make the top ten, the live stream managed to regain some popularity.
Hot searches are indeed easy to land on, as everyone in the know understands. But it's not so easy to stay in the top ten without paying, it all depends on luck to hang in there for a day without spending money.
The explosive debate about the production team's hot search topic was on the list for half a day before it fell off, like throwing a stone into a lake, stirring up splashes but soon returning to calmness.
"I remember... Chen Feiyu and Nian Shuyu didn't seem to have much interaction at first, right?" Teacher Huang spoke with a slight lisp, turning with interest to ask Chen Ming.
"Yes, Chen Feiyu first interacted with Song Enya, but last night Song Enya didn't choose to have dinner with Chen Feiyu," Chen Ming said.
"Yes, among the nine guests, only Chen Feiyu was on his own, it seemed like he went back to his room to rest afterward," Liu Yuzhou joined in, "It's unclear whether he'll be able to seize the opportunity this time."
"Song Enya seems quite friendly to everyone, without showing too much of a preference," Peony argued, "I think this time she might still choose Bai Jinze."
"However, Chen Feiyu is currently in the worst situation, if he ends up alone again in this grouping, I'm afraid he might not be able to handle it mentally..." Zhao Sisi added.
The crowd was still discussing, seriously analyzing the current situation. And from the perspective of the upcoming first vote tomorrow, they analyzed who among the guests is a gold hunter, and who is most likely to be voted out.
The grouping had already started, Xu Qingyan put away his phone and invited Pei Muchan.
Liu Renzhi was still hoping to see if there was a chance to muscle in, but the two of them confirmed their choice immediately, leaving no suspense.
It was as if the two of them were welded together in this show, confirmed with the staff, and went upstairs one after another.
Just as Liu Renzhi sighed and was about to make an effort to pair up with one of the remaining three female guests to avoid being awkwardly left out alone,
He unexpectedly heard Shen Jinyue suddenly say, "Did Sister Pei and him sleep together last night?"
Before his words even finished, Liu Renzhi instinctively turned his head and stared blankly at Shen Jinyue, his defenses mentally collapsing. Even though he knew, to have it said out loud like this...
Song Enya exclaimed with a "tsk," covering her mouth and snickering.
"You can't just say anything, they were in the same suite, which had an inner and outer section. I reckon Brother Xu probably slept on the living room sofa last night; after all, he got up so late today, he must have not slept well,"
While she was making excuses for Shen Jinyue, she also made sure the other four male guests overheard, the subtext being that Pei Muchan was already taken.
Stop daydreaming and just vote as you should.
Among the four male guests present, Bai Jinze's expression changed slightly. Last night, after the rooftop dinner, Song Enya took an opportunity to speak quietly with him,
Directly asking him to rally the guys to vote Pei Muchan out in tomorrow's vote while she could help him isolate Xu Qingyan for three days and get rid of Xu Qingyan in the second round of voting.
For both of them, this was a win-win situation.
The second pairing was Chen Feiyu and Nian Shuyu, both of whom were rejected yesterday, now joining forces in a sort of collaboration.
Things were starting to get interesting, as Bai Jinze and Song Enya unsurprisingly formed a pair.
On one side was the abandoned "Puppy Team," and on the other was the "Sea King Team" with more options. Finally, only Shen Jinyue, Liu Renzhi, and You Zijun were left staring at each other.
