Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Chapter 70 Provoking me, you've found yourself an easy target!

The production team switched to the drone perspective, offering a wide shot that encompassed the entire boat.

The sea, the white birds, and the large black umbrella at the bow were all in view.

Eagle-eyed netizens had already spotted the two sneakily having a date and chatting and were frantically urging the director to zoom in. After flooding the screen with their comments, they finally got their wish.

As the drone camera slowly zoomed in, the two were seen talking when suddenly Xu Qingyan's fishing rod jerked into action.

In a moment, the umbrella spokes pushed Pei Muchan aside, and seeing this, both the production team and the netizens started to laugh with schadenfreude.

The tech team had already prepared pink bubble effects and were eagerly staring at the screen, waiting for Xu Qingyan to cast the rod and then, in a smooth move, embrace Pei Muchan.

But Xu Qingyan was quick on his feet.

As he turned to press down on the rod, he swiftly handed the handle of the large black umbrella to Pei Muchan, blocking and even gently pushing her back.

Then, with both hands, he quickly gripped the fishing rod, bent his knees, and his arm muscles bulged in an instance.

Below the camera, Xu Qingyan bent like a shrimp, his entire figure basking in the sunlight. His complexion was visibly reddening, and in an instant, the fishing line became taut.

The chat exploded in a moment, torrenting through the production team's live stream like a flash flood.

"Damn it! The Human Emperor got a bite!"

"Shit, is Xu's brain broken or what? He actually pushed Sister Pei away? What's the deal, it's just a fish, if it was me, I'd have already jumped into the sea to grab it."

"I admit, that's how we fishermen are!"

"I told you! Fishing should be done with a lady by your side. Otherwise, who's going to chum the waters?"

"How big is this fucking fish, it's bending the rod like a bow, damn, I'm blindly guessing it's a large yellow croaker. If that fish got away, I wouldn't rest in peace even in death!"

Pei Muchan, holding an umbrella, stood frozen in place.

Several seconds passed before she reacted, wanting to come forward to help but reminding herself of her own lack of strength. She didn't dare walk away either, fearing that Xu Qingyan might get pulled overboard.

"It's too dangerous, let it go!" she said anxiously.

Xu Qingyan had no time for her; celestial fish that roll and resist fish. The rod was like an iron plank, and handling big fish wasn't too much pressure. As long as the fish wasn't too big, the rod wouldn't usually snap.

The thin line frighteningly stretched taut under the sunlight, as if the rod would break at any second.

He had to control the rhythm and couldn't spare much talk.

"Step back a little."

"Xu..." Pei Muchan started to say something.

But then she saw Xu Qingyan pressing hard on the rod and rhythmically reeling in the line, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

The rod was a strenuous lever, made even more difficult by the boat's height and the augmenting sea waves.

The people in the cabin, hearing the commotion, rushed outside. The crew on the boat had already begun to lend their hands, one holding onto Xu Qingyan and another ready with the net.

Pei Muchan had wanted to step forward but was pushed to the outside by the surging crowd. Eventually, amidst exclamations, the large fish broke the surface, and bit by bit was hauled aboard.

"Brother Xu, that was awesome, what kind of fish is this?" You Zijun was the first one to want to touch it, but Shen Jinyue beat him to it, quickly seizing the spotlight.

"Let me see, let me see!" Shen Jinyue hopped and jumped, "What kind of fish is this? Does it taste good? Let's kill it now and let me have a taste."

"You're not getting any," Xu Qingyan, still catching his breath, squeezed through the crowd, picked up the fish with the net, and walked towards Pei Muchan.

"Impressive! An adult Black Seabream, at least four pounds!" a crew member exclaimed, "This fish makes for an exquisite sashimi."

She had already put away the black umbrella, and Pei Muchan stood on the deck, gathering her long hair that had been tousled by the sea breeze.

"Look, the fish is up," he said as he lifted the fish.

Pei Muchan sighed, "Next time don't do something so dangerous. It's just a fish; if you fall in, I might not be able to save you."

"Got it," Xu Qingyan said with a smile, clearly not taking it to heart.

Time slipped through the fingers little by little, and Xu Qingyan spent almost the entire afternoon resting.

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened and the sunset glow appeared at the seaside that he slowly started to get spirited. It wasn't so much that he liked the sunset at the beach, but it was time to head back to the Love Cabin.

The fishing boat was already returning, leisurely heading toward the harbor of the island. In the last shot of the camera, under the afterglow of the setting sun, several people stood at the bow, leaving a few silhouettes that made a good cut for the footage.

Nightfall, at the Love Cabin.

"I caught this fish for her; if you want some, you have to ask her." Xu Qingyan was lying alone in the wicker chair in the backyard, resting, surrounded by dim lighting, while Shen Jinyue still bothered him.

"You're playing favorites, you're so heartless! And to think I even treated you to breakfast!"

"Hmm? Isn't this compensation for you waking me up?"

"Hmph! You're just playing favorites. You're so nice to Sister Pei! Let me tell you, if you mess with me, you'll find you've picked on a soft persimmon!" Shen Jinyue's face warmed, and she stood with her hands on her hips.

Thump thump thump, she ran in front of the wicker chair where Xu Qingyan was lying, making a pitiful face.

"I'll go to Sister Pei, surely I'll get to eat the first bite!"

Saying this, Shen Jinyue turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Xu Qingyan, who was in the wicker chair.

"What for?"

"It's no use looking for her."

"Why not?"

Xu Qingyan narrowed his eyes, lying in the chair, and spoke unhurriedly, "Because in the voting later, she's going to be voted off. She will leave the Love Cabin tonight."

In the dimly lit backyard, under the big green tree.

Shen Jinyue: "...."

Eight o'clock.

"Love Hunter" welcomed its first voting session since it started airing, with voting every three days. Both male and female guests would gather together and express their opinions according to the rules at the long table.

Voting out the gold diggers on their minds, the one with the most votes was eliminated and their identity card was revealed.

The male and female guests sat on both sides of the long table. Each person could ask one question to any guest, and each person only had the right to not answer once. Stay immersed with m-vl-em-py-r

From the moment the nine guests sat at the table, the atmosphere became tense. The three days of interaction had culminated in a moment of truth.

"I'll start, the person I choose to ask is..." Bai Jinze had sat on the cold bench all day with a smile on his face, turning his head toward Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan, resting his hand on the table, with dead-fish eyes, gave a glance at Bai Jinze.

However.

"...Sister Pei." Bai Jinze's gaze made a big shift and landed on Pei Muchan, who was among the girls on the opposite side of the long table, smiling, "May I ask?"

Pei Muchan was surprised for a moment but soon her face showed an expression that Bai Jinze couldn't understand. It was as if she suddenly realized something or, perhaps, she let out a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, go ahead and ask."

Bai Jinze didn't know what Pei Muchan was thinking, but now he had no other choice. After struggling for a moment, he said,

"Sister Pei, you used to not make public appearances much, right? Coming on the show this time, is it because there were some financial issues with the studio under your name?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Muchan lowered her eyes, her voice calm.

"No."

The next moment, Chen Feiyu stood up, still choosing to ask Pei Muchan a question.

"What was Sister Pei's initial intention for suddenly joining the love reality show?"
