Chapter 27

Qing Liu’s words were shocking, and even Han Luofeng was taken aback.

He silently stared at her, his feelings quite complicated.

He asked nonchalantly, “So, where’s the love letter?”

Qing Liu glanced at the other guests around her and decided to give Da Huang some face, especially since he had helped her out so much earlier.

She stood up, motioned for Han Luofeng to lean in, and whispered in his ear, “Wasn’t the love letter confiscated by the instructor and read out loud? You cried that day, don’t you remember?”

Han Luofeng: “……”

What the hell, I cried? A tough guy like me doesn’t cry!

Han Luofeng maintained a serious face, looking at Qing Liu with no expression. “Oh, that wasn’t me. You must be mistaking someone else.”

Qing Liu: “……”

“Really?”

She felt a bit awkward and sat back down, embarrassed.

In the original owner’s memories, when she first came to the main planet for school and participated in a month-long military training, there was a tall, golden-haired boy in her department, with golden-colored pupils—very handsome. The original owner often secretly watched him from behind. Later, that boy actually wrote her a love letter, which was then discovered by the instructor.

The boy felt embarrassed and was so mortified he almost cried, and after that, he never spoke to Qing Liu again.

The original owner had a vivid memory of this, perhaps it was her first crush. Qing Liu thought the boy looked very much like Han Luofeng, but since it wasn’t him, she must have mistaken the person.

She had originally thought she had run into a classmate, especially since Han Luofeng had helped her so much when they first met. Turns out, it wasn’t him after all.

Qing Liu looked at the three men sitting across from her, feeling pity for her own awkwardness, as her face seemed to have nowhere to hide.

In order to improve the show effect, the guests began chatting and introducing themselves. Even though they all knew each other, basic pleasantries were still necessary.

However, this light atmosphere didn’t last long, as the confession segment was about to begin, according to the show’s rules.

Luo Yun, who was acting as the host, took control of the pace of the segment. She couldn’t help but chuckle as she watched Qing Liu, whose face seemed to be rapidly sinking under the table.

Luo Yun propped her chin on her hand and looked at the three male guests across from her. “Now that everyone is familiar with each other, it’s time for the moment we’ve all been waiting for—the confession segment!”

As soon as Chester heard this, he immediately fixed his gaze on Qing Liu, his eyes bright as if to make sure everyone knew that he was about to give Qing Liu a rose.

Qing Liu felt like she couldn’t stay seated any longer. She suddenly stood up, causing the other five to turn and look at her in unison.

Flushed with embarrassment, she awkwardly said, “Ah, um, I’m going to the restroom, excuse me.”

Luo Yun nodded, “Alright, go ahead.”

Qing Liu made a hasty exit.

As she rushed away, Xiao Ling whispered with a laugh, “Do you think the little cat is scared of the three guys across from her?”

Luo Yun also looked over at the three men.

Eric had a blank expression, Han Luofeng was holding his drink without saying a word, while Chester, looking a bit clueless, asked, “How could that be? How could I ever scare such a cute little thing?”

Xiao Ling rested her chin on her hand, flipping her fiery long hair, and winked at Chester. “Tiantian, tell your sister—what exactly happened between you and the little cat in the fitting room that day? We’re all very curious.”

As soon as she asked this, both Eric and Han Luofeng turned to look at Chester.

Chester’s face turned red, looking a bit embarrassed as he stammered, “N-no, we didn’t do anything.”

Xiao Ling didn’t believe him: “Really didn’t do anything? Then why are you so messy, with your belt undone?”

Not only the guests present, but also the viewers in the live broadcast room were extremely curious.

【To be honest, although Qing Liu has been involved in rumors with many male stars before, her relationship with Tiantian is by far the most believable.】

【Before today, I also thought they were dating, but now I know that’s not the case since ‘Destined Match’ doesn’t invite guests who are already in relationships.】

【Look at how red Tiantian’s face is—if they didn’t do anything, that would be strange!】

—

The people in the live broadcast didn’t believe it, and with Chester’s face turning red, it was hard not to make people think otherwise.

However, Chester tried to explain: “Really, nothing happened. I was just getting ready to change clothes, and little cutie accidentally walked into the wrong fitting room. I was startled when I saw a woman enter, so I quickly grabbed my clothes and left. Really, nothing happened.”

Eric, who had been mostly silent, suddenly nodded and said, “That’s true. It only lasted about ten minutes. If something really happened, I’d have to question your ‘ability,’ Chester.”

That “ability” was definitely something to think about. Men can’t be told they’re incapable, nor can they be questioned about their abilities.

Chester turned to Eric, a little angry, and sarcastically replied, “Thanks for your concern, Uncle Eric, but you don’t have to worry. I’m still young, strong, energetic, and my mental stability is solid. If anyone has a problem, it definitely won’t be me.”

“Uncle” and “young”—this kid’s become bad, always stabbing at Eric with a knife.

But Eric was only around 34, which was still quite a few years older than Chester, especially considering Tiantian was only 25.

Xiao Ling watched the back-and-forth between the two of them, smiling as she said, “What’s going on? The little cat still hasn’t come back, and you two are already arguing?”

Eric wasn’t going to argue with Chester, this kid. He got ready to stand up and head to the bathroom to check on Qing Liu. After all, the expression she had earlier was one of clear embarrassment, and she had likely gone there to hide. What if she didn’t come back?

He needed to go check on her and, while he was at it, try to get a little closer to her privately.

However, he wasn’t the only one thinking this way. After talking to Chester for a bit, Eric turned around and saw that Han Luofeng had already stood up, excusing himself very politely to the two ladies, indicating that he wanted to step away for a while.

Luo Yun and Xiao Ling, watching his retreating back, knew exactly what he was doing—he was going to find Qing Liu.

Eric watched Han Luofeng leave ahead of him. Although he didn’t show it on the outside, he was already deeply regretting it!

Now that Han Luofeng had left, he couldn’t follow him, it would be incredibly rude to do so.

At this moment, Qing Liu was hiding in the bathroom, too embarrassed to come out. Since it was the bathroom area, the live camera didn’t follow her inside and was waiting outside. However, Qing Liu didn’t come out for a long time, and the viewers in the live broadcast room quickly guessed why.

【Feeling sorry for the little cat for a moment. Before she joined this show, she probably never imagined that two out of the three male guests would have rumors with her.】

【Little cat’s come back strong! They used to ignore you, but now they can’t even reach you!】

【Eric and Chester are really shameless, haha! They were almost about to argue just now.】

【Looking at it from another perspective, little cat’s story is truly inspirational!】

—

The viewers in the live broadcast room were betting on how long Qing Liu would stay inside—half an hour? An hour?

Han Luofeng reached the bathroom door, noticed that the camera ball was stationed outside, and only then did he go in. He found Qing Liu sitting in the soft sofa area against the wall, her face full of worry. When she saw Han Luofeng come in, she froze for a moment. However, she wasn’t embarrassed, since he was someone she hadn’t poured wine on.

Han Luofeng walked in, looking down at her: “Why aren’t you going out? The confession segment has already started.”

Qing Liu, feeling guilty, said, “I’ll wait until it’s over before going out.”

Han Luofeng: “…”

“If you don’t go out, how is the segment supposed to start?”

The program has to wait for all the guests to be present, right?

Qing Liu felt a little awkward: “I’m worried that if I go out now, everyone will say this segment might as well not start.”

Han Luofeng was somewhat speechless but also wanted to laugh. He walked over to Qing Liu and sat down next to her. In order to prevent the sound from being heard by the camera outside, he lowered his voice: “Did you do something with those two gentlemen that’s not fit for the public?”

Qing Liu had already sorted through the original owner’s memories. Aside from riding on the rumors for attention, there was nothing else—everything else was clean!

However, she rubbed her nose and, feeling a little guilty, said, “It was during the fitting room incident. I saw Xiao Tiantian’s underwear.”

At that time, Xiao Tiantian had been about to change his pants and had undone his belt. When the original owner entered, oh no, she saw it!

It was white, with a little pink elephant on it.

The little elephant was probably so cute that it became deeply engraved in the original owner’s memory and stayed with Qing Liu until now.

Now, whenever she saw Chester, the image of the pink elephant came to mind, making her unable to look at Xiao Tiantian directly.

“Furry is better!” Qing Liu sighed. “At least Furry doesn’t have to wear underwear.”

Han Luofeng: “…”

Han Luofeng was both amused and a little sour. Although he knew that Qing Liu and Chester were innocent, the fact that she still remembered the other guy’s underwear made him feel somewhat helpless.

“Go out,” Han Luofeng said. “Don’t keep everyone waiting.”

Qing Liu silently stood up, comforting herself inside. Both of those guys had already clarified their rumors with her. If they had any sense of dignity, they wouldn’t confess to her, so it should be fine!

No need to worry, it’s just a small matter!

Han Luofeng and Qing Liu walked back to the second-floor garden, one after the other. Luo Yun smiled at them, saying, “You’re back. Now, let’s officially start our ‘Face-to-Face’ segment!”

Luo Yun looked at the three men across from her: “As usual, we’ll start with the gentlemen. So, who would like to go first?”

Chester immediately raised his hand: “Sister Yun, I’d like to start first.”

He blushed, holding the red roses in his hand, glancing at Qing Liu every now and then.

Luo Yun was about to nod when suddenly, Qing Liu, who had been sitting in the middle, turned to her and said, “Sister Yun, although it’s customary for the gentlemen to go first, this time, I’d like to go first. Is that okay?”

Everyone: “???”

Luo Yun looked at her: “Of course…”

However, ladies usually maintained a more reserved attitude. Typically, they would wait for the gentlemen to confess, and then the lady would choose based on the situation.

After all, the one who confesses first is at a disadvantage.

Qing Liu immediately picked up the chocolate prepared by the production team for the confession segment. She solemnly handed the chocolate to Han Luofeng.

Chester: “…”

Eric: “???”

Live Stream Room: 【Wow!!!!】

Luo Yun and Xiao Ling exchanged a glance, both a bit confused about Qing Liu’s intentions. From the past few days of interaction, the three female guests actually got along well. Despite the golden tiger often dragging the little cat around, the little cat didn’t seem to be close to him at all.

In short, the little cat was very easy going—whoever came to take her, she wouldn’t resist.

She was behaving quite “casually.”

Luo Yun, seeing Qing Liu holding the chocolate just now, almost narcissistically thought Qing Liu was going to give it to her!

Actually, Qing Liu did think about giving the chocolate to Luo Yun. After all, out of the three men, none of them seemed to be a good fit.

However, she was worried that Luo Yun might have someone she liked, or that the audience might misunderstand and think Luo Yun liked women.

That would be awkward for Luo Yun, especially considering Luo Yun’s personality—if Qing Liu dared to offer it, Luo Yun would definitely accept it.

In the end, Qing Liu felt she couldn’t not give the chocolate, especially with Chester and Eric staring at her so intently. Even a fool could see the meaning in their eyes.

So, she had to act first, giving the chocolate away to show that she was already interested in someone. That way, the other two men would see it and back off!

It was a perfect strategy!

She was so clever!

Han Luofeng stared at the chocolate in Qing Liu’s hand, stunned for a moment, before standing up. “Is this… for me?”

Qing Liu looked straight at Han Luofeng and tried to signal him with her eyes. She blinked desperately twice, but Han Luofeng pretended not to notice.

He extended his hand, took the chocolate from Qing Liu’s hand, and nodded politely. “Thank you for your affection.”

He took the chocolate, then picked up the red rose in front of him. He broke off the flower, left his seat, and walked over to Qing Liu. He personally tucked the rose into her hair and smiled as he said, “This rose suits you.”

Qing Liu: “……”

She nervously leaned closer to Han Luofeng and whispered, “You understand what I mean, right?”

Han Luofeng nodded, looking at her. “Of course I do.”

Qing Liu breathed a sigh of relief. That was a relief indeed.

The golden tiger was really kind-hearted!
