"Wow, I have a hunch that he's a super good-looking hunk," He Jiao exclaimed with shining eyes, resting her chin on her hand and staring intently at the figure in front of the car.
Faced with He Jiao's straightforwardness, Xie Yun gave an embarrassed smile.
One of the three male guests had already shown up. The other two were Gu Huai and another mysterious guest. Before the show, Lin Jinran had specifically looked for the photos of the other four guests and memorized them.
She vaguely remembered that Gu Huai wasn't that tall. So the man standing in front of them must be the mysterious guest.
Gardenia? Gardenias are small, plump, and come in white or pale yellow. They have a strong fragrance and symbolize eternal love and lifelong waiting.
The man standing in front of the car suddenly sensed the three pairs of eyes on him. He turned to look, and his slightly upturned phoenix eyes were like autumn pools filled with starlight, extremely good-looking. It was a pity that what overflowed from them was the cold calmness of a deep pool.
Phoenix eyes?
An uncertain thought flashed through Lin Jinran's mind. She stared blankly at the man in front of her, lost in a daze, until Mr. Gardenia stood in front of them. Then she suddenly snapped back to reality.
"Hello everyone, I'm Gardenia," the man introduced himself politely. His subtle gaze passed over Sunflower in the front row and landed on the Pink Lychee mask.
Lin Jinran tightened her grip on the front seat. Her heart was pounding like a drum in her chest, thump after thump.
It couldn't be him, it couldn't be him. She remembered that she had inquired before coming. There was an S+ big-budget movie waiting for Su Qinian to negotiate these days. He had no reason to give up the S+ movie and instead come to a dating show.
Su Qinian was discovered by a scout during college. He became popular across the internet overnight with his good looks and acting skills, attracting countless fans.
Maybe it was because she had unexpectedly run into Su Qinian recently and hadn't adjusted her mindset. She probably saw Su Qinian in anyone with phoenix eyes.
Gardenia didn't say a word for a long time. He Jiao and Xie Yun followed his gaze and looked at the Pink Lychee on Lin Jinran's mask in confusion.
"Pink Lychee is very beautiful," the man suddenly said with a faint smile.
Lin Jinran was a bit dazed. "Your Gardenia is also very nice."
Gardenia lowered his eyes and casually glanced at Mr. Gladiolus beside Pink Lychee. The slight smile in his phoenix eyes froze into ice and slowly sank into the abyss.
He Jiao was a generous girl. She warmly invited Gardenia to sit beside her. Gardenia nodded and readily sat down.
Little did they know that the live broadcast room had exploded. The trending topics quickly occupied the top three rows on Weibo.

#Su Qinian Loses Fans#
"Damn, am I blind? That mysterious guest is actually Su Qinian? But didn't he have other schedule arrangements these days???"
"I heard that the original male guest was squeezed out to make room for Teacher Su. Could it be that Teacher Su really has feelings for Lin Jinran?"
"Oh no, Su Qinian participating in a dating show is no different from collapsing his persona. What about us, his girlfriend fans?"
"Going on a dating show for love, afraid that his future girlfriend will be snatched away. What on earth is Lin Jinran's charm that has captivated Su Qinian? Please someone tell me."
In an instant, Su Qinian started losing fans in the tens of thousands. All kinds of girlfriend fans were crying and strongly demanding that Su Qinian not fall in love.
The person involved seemed to have expected this and remained calm.
Later, the fifth guest, Miss Wind Chime Jiang Yaoguang, and the sixth guest, Peony Gu Huai, got on the bus one after another. The guests in the bus were paired up and sitting together.
The Crush Bus continued to drive for a while and finally stopped. When Lin Jinran and the other guests saw the director's team in front of the bus, they got off the bus.
Everyone had arrived. The director held a megaphone and announced the relevant information and rules of "Crazy Crush".
"Welcome all the guests to 'Crazy Crush'. 'Crazy Crush' is a live broadcast-style seven-day celebrity dating show. During the seven days of the event, all the guests will be under live camera. Of course, there are also cameras in the Crush Cottage where you will be staying tonight. Next, we..."
"Director, are there cameras in our bedrooms too?" Xie Yun was the first to raise his hand and ask.
The director gave a sly smile and said meaningfully, "That's a good question. There are also cameras in the bedrooms of all the guests."
He Jiao glared angrily. The director quickly explained, "There will be no cameras in private areas such as the toilet. After 12 o'clock at night, all the cameras in the bedrooms will be turned off. They will be turned on again when the staff responsible for shooting go to work. Please feel free to stay in the cottage, everyone."
"If there are no more doubts, we will now start the first session of today, getting to know each other deeply. We will use a lottery system to pair up in twos. Those who are successfully paired will go on their first date. The date will last for two hours. After two hours, we will gather here and go to the Crush Cottage. Please note that you are not allowed to take off your masks to expose your real identities."
"Director, what's the scope of our activities?" Lin Jinran was the second to raise her hand and ask.
"There is no fixed scope. You just need to be able to gather on time after two hours. Does anyone else have any questions? If not, we'll start the lottery."
No one else asked any questions. The staff brought up the flower props.
After the lottery, Pink Lychee was paired with Peony, Gardenia with Wind Chime, and Gladiolus with Sunflower.
"Miss Pink Lychee, would you be interested in going in for a cup of coffee with me?" Mr. Peony said in a flirtatious tone and took the initiative to invite her.
Lin Jinran frowned slightly under her mask, then relaxed and smiled brightly. "Sure, I'd be honored."
After sitting on the Crush Bus for nearly an hour, the six guests successively chose to enter the private room of the same coffee shop to rest.
"Miss Pink Lychee, may I ask how long you've been in the industry? Do you plan to stay in the film and television industry?" Before Mr. Peony had even warmed his seat, he started to interrogate her enthusiastically.
"I've been in the industry for nearly ten years, and I do plan to stay in the film and television industry."
"Ah, then you must be quite old, right? Doesn't your family urge you to get married? In my opinion, a girl without any background can't make it in the entertainment industry. It's best to find a backer for yourself."
Lin Jinran: "..."
The staff filming beside them: "..."
"Did you participate in this dating show because you want to fall in love? In my opinion, falling in love is a good thing. The earlier you fall in love, get married, and have children, the earlier you can complete the major events in your life..."
Where did this weirdo come from?
She looked at him with a smile but didn't say a word.
She had to endure.
Every guest invited to "Crazy Crush" had a higher status than her. She had to be patient.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Are you fascinated by my peony? I knew girls like you all like peonies, so I specifically chose it. It has a great effect. Say something. How about it? Do you want to consider me? Let's form a CP. You won't have this chance again if you miss it."
