"Ugh, what an arrogant guy! Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see what you are. Your life is so boring, yet you still dare to judge others."
"Gu Huai, you're really something. Your left cheek is stuck to your right cheek. You're either overly thick - skinned or just shameless."
"I'm too lazy to scold Lin Jinran. Well done, Gu Huai. You've successfully drawn my fire. What a jerk."
"Seeing is believing. I was blind before and ignored your crazy remarks. Please someone teach him a lesson."
Netizens hopped back and forth between Lin Jinran and Gu Huai's live - stream rooms, scolding one after another.
On the other side, in the Gardenia and Wind Chime private room.
Su Qinian lowered his eyes and gently stirred the coffee in his cup. His eyes were cold.
Miss Wind Chime, Jiang Yaoguang, stared at the noble - looking man in front of her. After struggling for a long time, she decided to start a conversation. "Generally, few people choose gardenias. Mr. Gardenia, why did you choose it? Can you tell me?"
She hoped to guess the mask - wearer's personality through the chosen flower.
Su Qinian looked up. His black pupils were calm and indifferent, like a lake without a single ripple. "Gardenias are beautiful."
Just these simple five words put an end to the conversation.
Jiang Yaoguang was discouraged. Unwilling to let the conversation end like this, she tried to extend it. She slightly opened her mouth. "I also think gardenias are very beautiful. When I was a child, there was a row of gardenia trees planted downstairs of my house. When it was the flowering season, the fragrance could spread for miles."
The man just let out a soft "um".
Jiang Yaoguang began to wonder if the topic she chose was too boring and the man wasn't interested. After a moment of thought, she tried again. "You..."
"Sorry, excuse me." Su Qinian seemed to have run out of patience. He stood up and pushed the door to leave.
Jiang Yaoguang was stunned. Wasn't it a paired activity? Why did he suddenly want to leave?
She quickly stood up and grabbed the man's corner of his clothes. "What about me if you leave?"
The light from outside immediately poured in. Su Qinian stood tall at the door of the private room. His long eyebrows were cold, his eyes were deep. He looked down at the place where the woman was holding his clothes and slowly said two words, "Let go."
His voice, as cold as ice, turned into invisible ice blades stabbing at the back of her hand. Jiang Yaoguang's face turned pale and she trembled as she let go.
Then the door of the private room closed, blocking the light. Jiang Yaoguang slumped weakly on the sofa, unable to figure out why.
Su Qinian walked out of the private room. He carefully recalled the positions of the private rooms that everyone had chosen, then turned left. Faint voices drifted into his ears. He sneered. Look, that person was having a passionate conversation with her "boyfriend".
Su Qinian stopped at the door of the private room and stared at the doorknob with a deep look in his eyes.
"Are you silent because you're inferior? Afraid that the gap between us is too big and you're not good enough for me? It's okay, don't be inferior. Even a handsome guy like me isn't arrogant."
"Let me tell you, I like girls like you who look innocent. You're not materialistic. Most girls nowadays are too materialistic. I don't like them..."
Su Qinian: "???"
What crazy remarks!
Moreover, it seemed that Lin Jinran had been silent all this time without refuting?
With a "bang", Su Qinian suddenly pushed open the door of the private room. He stared at the people inside with an ugly expression.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why did you come to my private room?" Gu Huai immediately got angry. He stood up and pointed at Su Qinian, scolding. "Do you know you've ruined my date?"
Su Qinian stared at him coldly. Gu Huai was scared by his cold gaze and fell silent, obediently shutting up.
"Come with me." He turned his head to look at the silent girl on the sofa. His eyebrows were gloomy and his lips twitched slightly. His dark eyes made people shiver.
Gu Huai got angry. "Hey, why are you snatching people? She's my dating partner, not yours."
Su Qinian ignored Gu Huai. His eyes were fixed on Lin Jinran. Many complex emotions flashed through his eyes, which finally turned into deep disappointment.
He snorted and said word by word, "What, don't you even have the courage to do this now?"
Lin Jinran's heart trembled. She looked up and met the man's extremely disappointed black eyes.
Before coming to the dating show, her agent specifically told her not to conflict with any of the guests. She didn't have the capital to do so. So when faced with the arrogant remarks of Mr. Peony (Gu Huai), Lin Jinran just ignored them.
Lin Jinran always smiled and remained silent in the face of the arrogant man's remarks.
Until just now, Mr. Gardenia (Su Qinian) burst in, looking like he was about to beat up Mr. Peony.
The smile on Lin Jinran's lips gradually disappeared. She silently looked at the almost furious Mr. Gardenia.
Was she familiar with Mr. Gardenia?
No, they just met today.
Those extremely beautiful phoenix - eyes were filled with anger, and they made her heart tremble with a faint sense of familiarity.
Could it be him?
Lin Jinran looked at him absent - mindedly, and her hands on her legs tightened slightly.
It couldn't be him. That person had a full schedule recently and had no time to participate in "Crazy Hearts".
Moreover, most of his fans were girlfriend - fans. Once he participated in a dating show, the subsequent loss of fans would be very serious and could even affect his future development.
The girl on the sofa didn't reply. Su Qinian ran out of patience. He gave Gu Huai a cold look, bent down and pulled Lin Jinran up, then turned around and left.
"Hey, Director, isn't this against the rules of the show? Shouldn't you come out and deal with this? My dating partner has run away with someone. How can I continue the date?"
Gu Huai shouted angrily from behind.
"Hahaha, well done. Make Gu Huai angry. Make this arrogant guy angry."
"He really thinks he's charming. He's just cheap and worthless. On the first day of the show, all the viewers knew his true nature."
"Su Qinian must have come for Lin Jinran. I wonder if they knew each other before. Otherwise, Su Qinian wouldn't have gotten close to Lin Jinran again and again. He's been in the industry for so many years. Who has ever heard that he has a girlfriend? Not even a rumored girlfriend."
The director rushed over in a hurry and happened to see Su Qinian pulling someone away. "Su... Mr. Gardenia, you can't violate the rules of the show."
The photographers and staff were very sensible. They carried their cameras away, only capturing a background.
"Rules of the show?" Su Qinian smiled playfully and repeated the four words. "The rules of the show only mention that the pairing is determined by drawing lots. It doesn't say that the pairing can't be changed."
"Director, am I wrong?"
This was clearly taking advantage of a loophole in the show's rules. The director was about to refute when he looked up and met the man's cold gaze. He couldn't help but shiver.
How could he forget? The man in front of him was not only a top - tier star in the entertainment industry but also the future heir of the Su Group.
With his powerful background, Su Qinian wouldn't care about a mere few million in liquidated damages.
Lin Jinran, whose wrist was tightly held, frowned slightly and shook her head at Mr. Gardenia. "Let's not make things difficult for the director."
She was afraid that if the director didn't dare to do anything to Mr. Gardenia, he would take his anger out on her.
