In the camera, her pupils were dark and bright, her nose bridge was straight, and the skin exposed outside the mask under the sunlight was as fair as congealed fat. Her thin cherry - colored lips were soft and plump.
At this moment, Lin Jinran was standing by the roadside, looking across the road. A few minutes later, the Crush Bus arrived at the destination. She got on the bus directly and found that she was the first guest to board.
"Welcome, guest, to the Crush Bus. Please choose your seat quickly. The bus will depart for the next destination soon. A gentle reminder: Before the official start of tonight's dinner, no guest is allowed to remove the mask or voice - changer in advance, or disclose their identity."
Suddenly, a broadcast came from the Crush Bus. It was the director's voice.
Where should she sit?
Lin Jinran knew that the seating arrangement was related to the seat selection of the other five guests later. Since she was the first one, it seemed not to matter much, so she casually chose a window seat.
The Crush Bus started again and headed for the next destination.
Six guests were invited to *Crazy Crush* in total. Besides her, there were the A - list top star He Jiao, the popular actress Jiang Yaoguang, the traffic idol Xie Yun, the newly - emerging ancient - costume drama actor Gu Huai, and a mysterious male guest.
It was said that originally an A - list celebrity couldn't come due to something, so the program crew quickly found another male star in the circle. As a highlight, his identity was not revealed.
The bus arrived at the second destination and stopped. With a "Welcome", a boy wearing a gladiolus mask got on the bus. The director reiterated the mask rules on the broadcast.
Lin Jinran stood up and tentatively said carefully, "Hello?"
Her voice had changed after being processed.
Mr. Gladiolus smiled slightly and also said, "Hello, Miss Pink Lychee." Then he looked around as if searching for a suitable seat to sit in.
Lin Jinran stood there nervously. She didn't know whether to sit down directly or wait until he had chosen his seat. After all, it was really strange for one person to stand while the other sat on the bus.
"I think the show we're participating in is a dating show," Mr. Gladiolus said lazily with a smile. Lin Jinran looked at him blankly, not understanding what the man meant. "Since it's a dating show, may I sit in the empty seat next to you, Miss Lychee?"
"Y - yes, it's okay." The second guest to board the bus directly chose to sit next to her. Lin Jinran answered absent - mindedly. She sat down only after the person beside her had taken a seat.
The Crush Bus set off for the next destination.
The window was slightly opened. The unique fragrance of spring came in, and her slightly curly long hair fluttered in the wind.
The two of them sat in silence.
Neither of them was the kind of person who could get along well with others easily.
However, the netizens in the two live - broadcast rooms were discussing heatedly.
"Miss Lychee and Mr. Gladiolus! Wow, I'm shipping them again. But Xie Yun, what on earth are you doing? Why don't you say a word! Please say something. You're here to date, not to play statues!"
"I'm so anxious. I wish I could reach out my hands and stick the two of them together forever. Talk! Talk to each other! How can there be sparks of love if you just sit there silently!"
"No wonder Xie Yun, who started as a child star, is so emotionally stable. And his fans are also very calm. In contrast, the bullet - screens in Lin Jinran's live - broadcast room are basically scolding her."
"My dear Xie Yun has finally come to his senses and wants to find a partner. Baby Xie Yun, tell Mommy, can you find a date just by sitting there?"
"Erm, Miss Lychee. I think 'Miss Pink Lychee' is a bit of a mouthful and not very nice, so I took the liberty of calling you Miss Lychee. I hope you don't mind," Mr. Gladiolus, Xie Yun, found a topic and explained softly.
"It's okay. Do you like gladiolus? Is that why you chose it as your mask?" Breaking through the first communication barrier, Lin Jinran turned her head and asked curiously.
On the boy's mask in front of her was a gladiolus that was adjusted to the shape of the mask. The pure white petals were blooming along the branches.
Mr. Gladiolus nodded cheerfully. "Do you know the flower language of gladiolus? It means justice, loyalty, and continuous progress. It's one of my favorite flowers."
The characteristic of gladiolus was being low - key and introverted.
Lin Jinran nodded thoughtfully. She seemed to be able to guess Mr. Gladiolus' personality, which was similar to that of the gladiolus flower.
As they were talking, the bus stopped. The third guest came on board. It was Miss Sunflower. Just like her mask, her personality was very enthusiastic and sunny.
"Hello, everyone! You can call me Sunflower," Miss Sunflower greeted first. She sat down in the row in front of them with a smile, then leaned over the seat and asked curiously, "How long have you been sitting? Are you tired?"
"Not long, just over ten minutes," Lin Jinran answered politely with a smile.
Miss Sunflower propped her chin up and said, "It seems that the waiting places of all of us are not far from each other. That damned program crew arranged for me to wait in a place without any shade. I even forgot to bring an umbrella, so I was exposed to the sun for a long time."
Mr. Gladiolus, Xie Yun, took out a tissue and handed it to her. "Wipe the sweat off. Unfortunately, there was shade where I waited."
"Me too," Lin Jinran continued to smile.
Miss Sunflower thanked Mr. Gladiolus, wiped the sweat off calmly, and then suddenly changed her expression. It was as if she had become a different person. She glared angrily in the direction of the broadcast and pointed at it while scolding, "Director, do you have something against me? Are you giving me special treatment?"
This girl had a really loud voice. Lin Jinran and Mr. Gladiolus were startled and quickly covered their ears. In a daze, she seemed to see the broadcast shaking.
"Who? Who arranged this? Hurry up and stand up and admit your mistake... Hello, Miss Sunflower. I've found out who did it. It was a new intern. I'm really sorry," the director wiped the cold sweat off and admitted his mistake obediently.
Miss Sunflower crossed her arms and snorted. "It's good that you know you're wrong. Don't let it happen again."
Then she remembered that there were two other guests beside her. She clasped her hands together and apologized guiltily. "Sorry, I forgot there were people beside me."
"Sure, it's always the intern's fault. Interns are really hard - working donkeys."
"I only recognize He Jiao as the queen of the entertainment circle. Well, she still has the same style as always."
"Hahaha, she's so cute. Look at how scared the other two guests are. She's not here to date but to disrupt the crazy crushes among the guests."
While the audience was enthusiastically sending bullet - screens, the Crush Bus had slowly stopped. The fourth guest was about to board.
The bus door opened, and the three "fresh flowers" on the bus all turned their heads and stared ahead.
They saw a man wearing a gardenia mask getting on the bus at the corner of the bus door. He was facing away from them. His back was extremely elegant and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Although he was just wearing the simplest white shirt and black long pants, he managed to look elegant and noble.
