Chapter 39: Release 4 – Wen Qing Couple’s Sweet CP Fans Soar…

Live Stream Bullet Screen Comments:

• “You win, you big noob! Hahaha.”
• “Brother Wen is so nice, that handful of jujubes just made me fall in love!”
• “Wait! That’s a whole handful of jujubes, like seven or eight at least, right? That’s more than enough to cure Wen Shijin’s mutated state after eating them! Why didn’t he eat them?!”
• “And you only need five to break the curse! Why collect so many?”
• “Judging by how Wen Shijin chose to team up with Huo Qi and decisively tore Huo Qi’s name tag, he must’ve known the other two were likely undercover, and Huo Qi definitely wasn’t!”
• “If he had eaten the jujubes, even if he and Gu Si tore off each other’s name tags simultaneously, Gu Si’s score was lower, so Gu Si would’ve been eliminated, leaving Wen Shijin to go tear Ning Qingyan’s tag for the win! So why not eat the antidote?!”
• “Wen Qing CP fans: You don’t get it! Why else? It’s for love! For you, I’ll clear every obstacle and willingly bow down! Ahhh, I can’t take it!”

Bullet screen comments flooded in. Meanwhile, seeing the handful of jujubes in Wen Shijin’s right hand, Ning Qingyan’s eyes lit up with joy. She happily cupped her hands to receive them.

The sweet, juicy jujubes burst in her mouth, soothing her dry and hoarse throat. Wen Shijin lowered his gaze to watch her. The boy’s lips involuntarily curved at her delighted reaction, his bright peach-blossom eyes sparkling as he looked at her.

Her cheeks puffed slightly as she chewed, and she mumbled through her mouthful, “It’s so delicious!”

The soft, adorable tone made people want to give her the best of everything. Wen Shijin thought as much, raising his hand to smooth the tuft of brown hair that had fluffed up from her running.

Her soft, chestnut-colored short hair always seemed to stick out whenever they met, unlike the firmer texture of most boys’ hair.

Green Tea System: “Wen Shijin’s affection +1.”

Sitting nearby, Gu Si, watching Wen Shijin act like a good Samaritan delivering jujubes to Ning Qingyan, felt annoyed. Seeing Ning Qingyan happily eating made him even more displeased. He opened his mouth:

“I want some too. Come over and feed me.”

Ning Qingyan shot him a glance and then precisely lobbed a jujube into his open mouth like a basketball. It landed with a plop.

Though it wasn’t the feeding method Gu Si had envisioned, he still got what he wanted. He shot Wen Shijin a challenging look and smugly said, “It’s sweet when Qingyan feeds me.”

Wen Shijin ignored him, his expression calm as ever. Gu Si, feeling triumphant, thought Wen Shijin must be jealous.

“Peeling shrimp or handing out jujubes, what’s the use? They still end up in my mouth. That’s charm!” Gu Si thought smugly.

Afterward:
When all the guests regrouped, the program director’s voice came through the earpieces:

• “First place goes to Ning Qingyan and Xu Ruanruan. They earn a second confession chance for the final episode. If their confession to Guest A fails, they can confess to Guest B instead. Perfect for indecisive guests!”
• “Last place is Gu Si and Sheng Mingzhu, who face the punishment chosen by viewers: boys must smile while eating half a lemon, and girls must move a cookie from their cheek to their mouth using only facial movements.”

Sheng Mingzhu protested, “We eliminated one person each and were the third ones out. Why are we last?”

The director calmly replied, “Undercover agents tearing each other’s name tags don’t gain points and even lose them. Undercover agents also have the right to act first but risk losing points for mistakes. High risk, high reward—the system doesn’t miscalculate. Please proceed with the punishment.”

The awards and penalties segment turned chaotic, with fans eagerly clipping the most entertaining moments. The show’s hashtags quickly climbed social media rankings, particularly the #HandfulOfJujubes trend, sparking speculation about Wen Shijin’s motives.

Ultimately, every theory pointed to Ning Qingyan—sacrificing for her to win first place, clearing all obstacles out of love.

As a result, the Wen Qing CP Super Topic skyrocketed in followers, claiming the top spot among fan communities.
