Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Chapter 60: 60: One's own failure is painful, but a friend's success is even more heartbreaking.

The phone vibrated, and Pei Muchan glanced down with an indifferent expression.

So, her appeal wasn't even as great as a single song?

She felt inexplicably unhappy.

She unconsciously scrolled up and down her phone, pondering how many points to give him. She had given the other guests full marks, as they were of no consequence.

"You gave me one point?" Xu Qingyan turned his head and looked at Pei Muchan beside him, his face full of astonishment, "Did I offend you in some way?"

"Mhm."

The scoring results were out, and Xu Qingyan directly achieved the guest with the lowest score. He lost in the scoring game and was punished to wash everyone's dishes after dinner.

But Bai Jinze and the others couldn't muster a laugh; their expressions were awkward and uncomfortable.

In a game where everyone was still not very familiar, being able to unabashedly give low scores meant either there were obvious conflicts, or the relationship was ridiculously good.

Everyone knew that in reality, this guy had already won by a mile.

What kind of punishment was dishwashing?

Bai Jinze silently closed his eyes, wrote a love-struck text message to Song Enya, then deleted it. His thoughts were a mess, nowhere near as carefree as the day before.

He had originally thought that Xu Qingyan being with Pei Muchan naturally attracted hostility. Coupled with Xu Qingyan's barren lifestyle, which almost spelled out "I want to make money" on his forehead,

as long as anyone present wasn't blind, they could tell he was definitely a gold digger.

As long as his side did a little more canvassing, they could have Xu Qingyan leave the show with the gold-digger label attached to him.

Who could have imagined that Liu Renzhi, that brainless muscle-head, would start colluding with Xu Qingyan at some point, what a shortsighted fool.

Just sitting on the cold bench for one day had him panicking; such a waste of a brain. They had already agreed that after Xu Qingyan was driven away, there would be no more cold bench!

While his thoughts were turning over and over, Bai Jinze almost wished he could send the love-struck text to Liu Renzhi's phone. He wanted to ask him what on earth he was thinking, whether his brain had been kicked by a donkey!

Bai Jinze's love-struck message still went to Song Enya, but Song Enya's went to Liu Renzhi, roughly saying "I hope to go on a date with you."

The love-struck message could be sent not only to today's date but also to other opposite-sex guests. The recipient of the love-struck message could choose their date for the next day.

Liu Renzhi almost didn't hesitate to choose the sexy Song Enya, resulting in Bai Jinze going without a date. In that moment, Bai Jinze's face uncontrollably twitched.

He gripped his phone tightly, shifting his gaze slightly, and swept an incredulous look towards Song Enya.

Song Enya wasn't even looking at Bai Jinze; she flipped her hair, resting hands on the dining table, and chatted up Liu Renzhi.

"I quite like fitness too, I go to the gym three times a week."

"That's really great, we should have a lot in common," Liu Renzhi seemed to cherish this opportunity to chat, and he was very enthusiastic.

While Liu Renzhi was happy, he glanced at Xu Qingyan from the corner of his eye, recalling the words Xu Qingyan had said to him in the afternoon.

Four votes to send Bai Jinze away.

At the dining table, Bai Jinze's mentality was about to explode, watching Song Enya, who had gone out with him on today's date, turn her back on him.

She was now joking intimately with a brainless muscle man at the table, right in front of his face!

He took a deep breath, tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle, and held back the tears. To be honest, of all the people present, except for Pei Muchan, he looked down on everyone.

Chen Feiyu was still partnered with Nian Shuyu, and the two sent each other love-struck messages.

Shen Jinyue's love-struck message went to Xu Qingyan, and the content was anything but heart-fluttering. It rolled across the screen in the broadcast room.

"Xu Qingyan is a stingy guy, I don't want to talk to you!"

However, Xu Qingyan didn't even bother to open her love letter; he just swiped and deleted it immediately.

"Bad luck."

The live chat burst into laughter at this scene.

Hahaha, this is exactly like the daily life with my nemesis friend! Dying of laughter here, are they even on a dating show? They are too good at making jokes."

"You can tell, one really wants to make friends, the other is desperate to escape."

"Incompatible souls of interest."

Pei Muchan chose Xu Qingyan, and sent a one-word love text, hmm. The indifference hit Xu Qingyan in the face, but he didn't care.

Acting indifferent was just his camouflage, being sick was his ultimate move.

After the meal.

Xu Qingyan put on an apron and started washing dishes, with Shen Jinyue and Pei Muchan coming up to offer help. He didn't refuse; the more the merrier.

But when he saw the two women helping each other tie their apron strings, he realized belatedly, was Shen Jinyue here to ruin his good thing?

Doing the dishes was one thing, but tying Pei Muchan's apron strings... that should've been his job.

Shen Jinyue clumsily turned on the tap, and a white jet of water burst out, carefully rinsing the foam off the plates.

"Xu Qingyan, what was the meaning of the sentence you sent to Sister Pei at the dinner table?" she casually asked, putting down a plate and turning her head.

"Lyrics."

"Lyrics??" Shen Jinyue's face was full of question marks, "Something about small yellow flowers, autumn, and the like. Which song's lyrics are those? I've never heard of them?"

"I wrote them," he said without batting an eye, lifting a stack of plates and rinsing them quickly under the tap, tilting them to drain the water with a swish.

"You wrote them?!!!"

With that single statement, Shen Jinyue's CPU overheat, leaving her standing there stupefied.

She had sung quite a few songs herself. Even if being an internet celebrity was just a hobby, she had some understanding of how difficult songwriting could be.

Anyway, she wasn't cut out for such talent-dependent tasks.

Admittedly, her own failures were painful, but the success of friends was even more heartbreaking. She stopped washing the dishes and stared at Xu Qingyan nervously, as if looking at a monster.

"You know how to write songs? What songs have you written?"

"Not really, just started learning."

He efficiently cleaned another set of plates, and Pei Muchan had finished washing her set as well. Only Shen Jinyue, the pretender, remained, having washed a grand total of three plates so far.

"What??? You dare write songs just after learning? How little regard must you have for songwriting!" Shen Jinyue clutched her chest, looking as if she was shocked to her core.

"If you really want to write songs, I can share some online class resources with you."

"Online class?" Xu Qingyan looked puzzled, "Did you buy them?"

"Ah, what? You didn't know?" Shen Jinyue puffed out her chest proudly, "Every beautiful girl who likes to sing has a dream of writing songs in her heart!"

"How many have you watched?" Pei Muchan walked over, reaching out to take the remaining few plates in front of Shen Jinyue to rinse under the tap.

Under the kitchen's orange light, her profile was gentle.

"That...uh-oh, I've suffered from the inability to learn!" Shen Jinyue's face spelled out her misery, "Cursed, if I watch online classes for more than ten minutes, I get sleepy!"
