Qin Qiaor said very sincerely, "The two kids are at home today. I didn't bring them here. But this work of mine is dedicated to them.
I hope to tell them that Mom will always be here for you, whether you're still young or when you grow up. I hope that when they see this work, they can recall the happy times we've spent together."
The host beside her continued to ask, "Was your first work also dedicated to someone?"
Qin Qiaor thought carefully for a while and then replied, "I guess it was for myself. It made me think things through and strive to have no regrets."
It was time for the last segment. In this segment, all the guests had to perform a complete play together.
Actually, this performance was a huge challenge for Qin Qiaor. She had always been used to working as a voice - over artist behind the scenes. This was the first time she stepped onto the front of the stage.
She had practiced a lot at home, and the other guests who performed with her also gave her a lot of guidance. In the end, their performance was a great success.
Qin Qiaor was also selected as the number one contestant of this episode.
After the show ended, Lin Wenyi quickly walked up to her. "Congratulations! I knew I wasn't wrong about you. I knew you'd do a great job."
Qin Qiaor lowered her head and smiled.
Lin Wenyi continued, "Let's go for dinner later."
Qin Qiaor thought for a while and finally agreed. After all, Lin Wenyi had given her this opportunity, allowing her to discover her potential in this field.
During this experience, she felt the joy of acting. She thought that if she had the chance in the future, she'd like to try acting.
Experiencing those virtual lives was like living through those stories herself. She rose and fell with the characters in the play, which gave her a very fresh experience.
Today, only Qin Qiaor and Lin Wenyi were going for dinner. So Lin Wenyi didn't choose a popular restaurant. Instead, he took Qin Qiaor to a dim - lit restaurant.
Then the waiter led them to a very secluded corner. Purple veils surrounded the area, adding a touch of ambiguity to the corner.
Qin Qiaor said awkwardly, "I've never been to a place like this. Isn't this the kind of place for couples?"
She still regarded Lin Wenyi as her elder brother in her heart, so it was a bit embarrassing for the two of them to be in such a setting.
Lin Wenyi didn't say anything. He just ordered the food on his own. The two of them had a great conversation, recalling the past and looking forward to the future. Soon, they finished their meal.
Just as Qin Qiaor was about to leave, Lin Wenyi called out to her, "Wait. I have something to tell you."
Qin Qiaor was very confused and stopped in her tracks again.
"I've liked you for a long time."
Unexpectedly, the first words from the man left Qin Qiaor speechless. She never thought that Lin Wenyi liked her and would choose to confess to her at this moment.
Qin Qiaor stammered, not knowing what to say. She had never had any romantic feelings for Lin Wenyi.
"Don't rush to say anything. Just listen to me first. The time we spent in the UK was the happiest time of my life.
At that time, it was just the two of us. Although we didn't have much money, we lived a very fulfilling life. I've liked you since then.
But at that time, I wasn't stable yet. I didn't know what would happen in the future, so I didn't choose to confess to you.
You know that I suddenly disappeared for a while. Actually, it wasn't my choice. Some things happened in China, and I had to come back.
I thought our fates might have diverged, but unexpectedly, you appeared in front of me again. I think this might be predestined by heaven.
After seeing you again, I realized that my feelings for you hadn't diminished at all. Instead, they grew stronger with my longing.
I've never met a girl like you since then. You're unique and one - of - a - kind in my heart.
We were so happy together. If you stay with me, I'll make you happy for the rest of your life. Chenchen and Wanwan also like me very much. We'll be fine."
After hearing Lin Wenyi's passionate confession, Qin Qiaor didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt a great deal of pressure. She had never thought that their relationship would turn out like this.
On the one hand, she didn't want to lose this friend. On the other hand, she couldn't just accept Lin Wenyi's confession.
Moreover, she had just decided on the show that she wanted to give it another try with Zhao Youting. Now she was faced with this difficult choice.
She didn't want to reject Lin Wenyi so abruptly and didn't want to hurt him.
"Lin Wenyi... I..."
There was a glint of excitement in Lin Wenyi's eyes.
"I only regard you as my elder brother."
Lin Wenyi's eyes instantly dimmed. "We can develop our feelings slowly. I don't believe you have no feelings for me at all."
Qin Qiaor really didn't know how to continue rejecting him. She could think of a million reasons to put him off, but she didn't want to do that because he was her dearest elder brother.
"I have someone I like. We can't be together." Qin Qiaor finally made up her mind and said this.
A dark cloud seemed to envelop Lin Wenyi. "Is it Zhao Youting?"
Qin Qiaor didn't expect Lin Wenyi to be so direct. She didn't know whether to admit it or not. She just sat there blankly.
"I understand. I won't force you. I just hope you can understand my feelings. No one can predict what will happen in the future."
Lin Wenyi's expression suddenly turned ferocious, but Qin Qiaor didn't notice that the well - crafted disguise on Lin Wenyi's face showed a slight crack at this moment.
Qin Qiaor was just immersed in the helplessness of rejecting the elder brother she didn't want to hurt and didn't notice that there was something wrong with Lin Wenyi's expression.
Lin Wenyi quickly adjusted his expression as if nothing had happened. He told Qin Qiaor that he hoped this wouldn't affect their relationship.
