Chapter 28

Qing Liu gave her chocolate to Han Luofeng, and Chester couldn’t hold it in anymore—his eyes reddened instantly.

Qing Liu, feeling guilty, sat there, unwilling to make eye contact with Chester. After all, just one glance would remind her of the pink little underwear!

Xiao Ling, observing the crowd’s mixed emotions, smiled and placed her chocolate in front of Qing Liu. Winking at her, she said, “I also really like little cat. Here, let me give you my chocolate.”

Qing Liu: “……”

She twitched her lips, looking at Xiao Ling. “Stop messing around.”

Xiao Ling laughed and took the chocolate back, then placed it in front of Luo Yun. “Okay, okay, I won’t mess around. I’ll give it to Sister Panda instead.”

As she spoke, she winked at Luo Yun.

Luo Yun: “……”

Luo Yun helplessly accepted the chocolate. After all, it was obvious that the three men across from her had already chosen someone, and she and Xiao Ling seemed more like they were on vacation than actually participating in a live variety show.

Luo Yun then handed her chocolate to Xiao Ling. “Then you can have mine.”

Xiao Ling exaggeratedly said, “Ah! Sister, you’re going to make me misunderstand! I’m bisexual, you know!”

Qing Liu turned to look at Xiao Ling in shock. While sexual orientation is a free and accepting matter, saying something like that in front of billions of viewers on a live stream—Xiao Ling was really brave to do that.

Luo Yun smiled helplessly and said, “Only Qing Liu would believe that.”

Qing Liu, who believed it wholeheartedly: “……”

After the three female guests, it was naturally the male guests’ turn. Since Han Luofeng had already exchanged gifts with Qing Liu, they skipped him. However, Chester, who had been so eager just a moment ago, now seemed a little hesitant.

He sat there, his eyes reddened with grievance, looking at Qing Liu as if he were about to tear the rose in his hand apart.

Eric glanced at him, stood up first, and then looked at Qing Liu with gentle eyes. “Although I haven’t spent much time with little cat, these past few days have been very enjoyable, especially when little cat comes out to see me every day. I’ve been deeply touched.”

Qing Liu: “……”

The live stream audience began to sympathize with Eric:

【Although… little cat seems to have a big ambition, which is… to “raise eagles”…】

【It seems the CEO misunderstood, thinking little cat comes out to see him three times a day because she likes him, not knowing how he’ll feel when he finds out the truth.】

【Hahaha, little cat’s daily social death technique.】

Eric took the blue rose from his hand and walked over to Qing Liu, speaking softly: “I’m giving you this rose, which represents my feelings. At least it gives you another option, doesn’t it?”

Qing Liu: “……”

At this moment, as she looked at Eric standing in front of her, all she could think about was the stupid things she had done a few days ago!

Now Eric had clearly misunderstood, but she couldn’t explain herself!

She was silent for a while before finally saying, “My reputation is so bad, and there are too many people I’ve been linked to…”

Not just a few—there were practically too many, and every well-known man in the entertainment industry seemed to have some sort of entanglement or scandal with her.

Eric: “I don’t mind. None of that matters.”

Qing Liu: “……”

She looked at Eric, a bit stunned. What did he say?

He said that all of this doesn’t matter?

This man truly has a broad mind—he’s got something after all!

As she watched Eric, who had now followed Han Luofeng’s example and placed the flower in her hair, he even seemed to challenge the others by inserting it on the other side of her bun. Qing Liu’s neat bun now had one red and one blue rose on either side, making her look like a walking bouquet. The audience in the live stream couldn’t stop laughing.

At this moment, Chester suddenly stood up, holding his pink rose—representing his feelings. He rushed over to Qing Liu, his face flushed, and said, “Then, please accept my rose too!”

As he spoke, he quickly bent the rose and stubbornly placed it in the center of Qing Liu’s bun, competing with the others.

Qing Liu: “……”

One rose looked nice, but two was a bit too much, and three… three just looked ridiculous.

She thought to herself, ‘Isn’t this ridiculous? Where am I here to participate in a romance variety show? I’m practically performing a comedy skit for the live audience!’

With three roses on top of her head, she couldn’t decide whether to leave them on or take them off. Under everyone’s gaze, she forced herself to speak: “Actually, you could just give me the flowers. There’s no need to stick them in my hair…”

As she spoke, she nervously removed all the roses, including the red one from Han Luofeng. The three roses were neatly placed on the table, and she showed no intention of keeping them.

Han Luofeng looked at his rose alongside the other two, and his mood immediately soured.

He looked at Qing Liu, wondering what this meant. She had just asked him if he understood her intentions, and now she was putting his rose together with the other two?

Live stream room:

【Hahaha, Brother Feng is jealous.】

【Are Tiantian and Eric really throwing all shame aside? Tiantian clearly said before that Qing Liu isn’t his type!】

【Little cat chose the golden tiger! The platinum couple is real!!!】

【Ah, can’t she have them both? Little cat is ^[1]“A master at juggling” refers to someone who is very skilled at managing multiple tasks, situations, or people at once, especially when they might be competing for attention.a master at juggling, she can handle it.】

【Wuwuwu, as Tiantian’s fan, even though I used to criticize Qing Liu, now, if Qing Liu doesn’t choose our Tiantian, I’ll be really heartbroken!】

【As a fan of Brother Feng’s career, I also want to say… if】

Since Qing Liu cleared her name online, her fanbase has grown, and the live stream’s popularity has soared. After all, who doesn’t like a fluffy little cat?

Even those who criticized her in the past now find themselves not hating her.

Some even hope she ends up with their own favorite, like Eric or Chester.

Faced with the gazes of the three men, Qing Liu felt a little overwhelmed. She sat there nervously, thinking that no matter who she chose, it didn’t feel quite right.

Furthermore, she hadn’t known this was a romance variety show at the start, so she hadn’t prepared to find a partner here.

Now, faced with the affections of the three men, she was genuinely caught off guard.

Luo Yun observed the tense situation and, though she sympathized with Qing Liu, she had to continue moving the show along.

“Which rose will little cat choose?” Luo Yun smiled and said, “Don’t be greedy, you can only pick one.”

Qing Liu: “……”

Qing Liu glanced at the three men in front of her, and she saw Chester, his eyes red and filled with worry, looking so pitiful.

But when it comes to love, you can’t let pity for the other person ^[2]“cloud” means to obscure, distort, or blur one’s judgment or perceptioncloud your judgment!

Next, Qing Liu glanced at Eric. Eric looked completely calm, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and sitting across from her with a composed demeanor that made it feel like he was holding a serious meeting. His CEO-like presence made Qing Liu feel a bit intimidated.

Then she looked at Han Luofeng. Qing Liu felt a bit better about him because, after all, she didn’t have any rumors with him. She had never thrown wine at him or barged into his dressing room. So, being around him didn’t make her feel guilty or pressured.

In addition, the golden tiger often cuddled with her to sleep, took her stargazing, and showed her sunrises. To be honest, over the past few days, while she had gotten along well with the other fluffy companions, her most lasting impression was of the golden tiger.

Because the golden tiger had occupied so much of her time, whenever she thought about it, his image would always come to mind.

The golden tiger was so warm-hearted. He had also said that he understood her feelings, so choosing him was definitely the right choice.

Thinking this, Qing Liu picked out the red rose from the three in front of her, the one belonging to Han Luofeng, and shyly said, “I prefer this color.”

Luo Yun raised an eyebrow and turned to Han Luofeng. “Wow, congratulations, you two are holding hands now!”

Luo Yun and Xiao Ling led the applause, while Chester wiped his eyes, clearly upset.

He really liked the little cat, and he adored her human-like form—white hair and green eyes, small and cute. Chester was heartbroken that Qing Liu hadn’t chosen him.

He even wondered if she hadn’t chosen him because of something he had said during the dressing room incident, like, “This girl’s not my type.” He spoke very bluntly.

At that time, he didn’t think much of it, but when he thought of little cat, he felt that his words might have hurt her. She must have been upset when she heard them.

As the confession part was about to end, and Qing Liu was going to go on a date with Han Luofeng, Chester stood up, looking teary-eyed as he looked at Qing Liu and softly said, “Qing Liu,”

This was the first time he had called her by her name. Before, he had always referred to her as “little cutie” or “little cat.”

This was the first time he called her by her name. Before, he had always called her “little cutie” or “little cat.”

Seeing him like this, Qing Liu began to feel nervous.

Chester said, “I really like you. After the dressing room incident, my words were indeed thoughtless, but it was the first time I encountered something like that, so my handling of the situation wasn’t perfect. I apologize for the things I said and hope you don’t mind.”

Qing Liu felt both nervous and awkward, unsure of where to put her hands or feet.

“It’s okay,” she said nervously. “I don’t mind, you… you don’t have to cry.”

Oh my god, she really couldn’t handle the puppy-dog eyes attack! Help!

Chester, blushing, said again, “I was wrong back then. Actually, you’re my type. I really like you. Do you want to reconsider?”

He glanced at Han Luofeng and added, “Brother Feng spends his days either exploring the Dead Sea or skydiving in polar glaciers. If you choose him, you can’t possibly want to see him in extreme sports news every day, right? But I’m different. I’m very well-behaved, and I’m super family-oriented. I wouldn’t even leave the Sky city. I can stay home with you every day!”

At this point, Eric added quietly, “Chester’s right. Last time he broke his leg. Who knows what part of him will be broken next time? Little cat, you really need to think carefully.”

Qing Liu: “…”

Han Luofeng: “…”
