Chapter 120: The Video is Released!

Due to the director’s previous statement about the “intensity” of the content, the audience’s expectations were raised to the highest level. Everyone was waiting on Weibo, urging the production team to release the videos quickly.

The production team was punctual. As soon as the time came, they released the videos. However, after the Weibo update, it wasn’t possible to release all five videos at once, so they were posted one by one. After all the videos were uploaded, a poll was posted.

The first video released was of Cheng Lin & Chen Wanruo.

The video began with Cheng Lin dressed in a sleek, smoke-gray suit, his face stern and exuding a powerful presence.

Two knocks sounded on the door.

Without looking up, Cheng Lin coldly said, “Come in.”

The camera switched to a shot moving from the bottom up, showing glossy high heels, black stockings, long legs, a pencil skirt, and a white blouse.

Chen Wanruo’s professional attire was both sharp and mature, highlighting her sensuality.

She held a stack of documents and walked over to the desk with the sound of her heels clicking rhythmically. “Mr. Cheng, please review these documents.”

Cheng Lin glanced at the documents indifferently and gave a low grunt of acknowledgment, signaling her to leave them.

Secretary Chen Wanruo said nothing more, quietly placing the documents on the desk and preparing to leave.

But just as she placed the documents down, the black and gold fountain pen held between Cheng Lin’s fingers suddenly brushed against the secretary’s pale palm.

It felt like a tease, almost like a reluctant caress.

[Wow, this scene is incredible! Office romance is so thrilling!]

[Both of them look stunning. Cheng Lin has finally embraced his inner CEO!]

[Chen Wanruo looks perfect in this style. The black stockings are killing me.]

[This mature, elegant style suits her so much better than the previous innocent girl look!]

[She’s amazing in this professional role. She should do more workplace dramas!]

[I never thought Cheng Lin and Chen Wanruo had chemistry, but now I’m shipping the CEO and secretary pairing so hard!]

[That pen-tip flick across the palm was so seductive.]

[Yes, keep this level of intensity coming! I love it—faster, faster!]

Next up was the video of Qin Ling & Yang Yang.

Their video focused on showcasing their talents.

At a bar counter with dim lighting, Qin Ling appeared in a cool, all-black outfit, rapping with an arrogant and stylish demeanor, while Yang Yang danced beside him in a leather jacket, short skirt, and studded heels.

As Qin Ling’s rap reached its peak, Yang Yang flirtatiously touched his chest, swaying her waist and dancing provocatively close.

[Ahhh, a sexy dance! I love it (nosebleed)!]

[Yang Yang is amazing! With her dance background, her moves are so powerful. She’s killing me with those waist twists!]

[Qin Ling is great too! He’s usually so carefree, but his serious rapping is so cool and handsome!]

[I’m totally shipping these two now!]

The third video featured Fu Li & Lu Yu.

In contrast to the flirtatious tone of the first two videos, this one began with Lu Yu in a cute pink bunny costume.

Lu Yu was already known as an energetic, adorable girl, so this look, while even more adorable, didn’t seem like a big change.

The audience felt it lacked innovation.

But in the next moment, Lu Yu flashed a sweet smile and snapped her fingers, cueing the music. Then, Fu Li, dressed as a big bad wolf, entered the frame, and the two of them started bouncing around doing a bunny dance.

Perhaps to match the costume, Fu Li took off his glasses, revealing his narrow, fox-like eyes.

Despite his cold, ascetic face, he danced that cute bunny dance, the contrast making it even more striking!

In the end, they had a final pose where Lu Yu leaned back into Fu Li’s arms and happily made a peace sign.

Fu Li, reluctantly, also made a peace sign, his expression still somewhat stiff. But without his glasses to hide it, the brightness in his eyes was undeniable, and it was utterly captivating.

[Hahaha, Dr. Fu is too cute!]

[It’s true—being with a sweet girl can soften anyone!]

[I have a feeling the above comment is trying to be suggestive, but I can’t prove it.]

[I have to say, Dr. Fu dancing a cute bunny dance with that cold, handsome face—it’s kind of sexy, in a weird way.]

[Yes! The contrast is really hitting me hard!]

[Did anyone else notice that Dr. Fu kept looking at little Yu the entire time? His gaze was full of affection!]

[Everyone knows the bunny dance is little Yu’s specialty, so who suggested it? No need to guess—Fu Li, don’t spoil her too much, don’t love her too much!]

The fourth video was of Shen Mingxuan & Bai Ruoruo.

Shen Mingxuan seemed to have just finished a shower, wearing only a towel around his waist, exposing his upper body.

Bai Ruoruo, on the other hand, wore a black lace slip dress, exposing her neck and legs.

As the camera zoomed in, it became clear that the two were staring at each other intensely, with Bai Ruoruo trembling slightly…

Finally, the scene froze on Bai Ruoruo’s flushed, dreamy expression…

[My eyes! My eyes! This is too much!]

[I’m willing to pay good money for a pair of glasses that will erase this video from my memory!]

[If I’m guilty, please punish me, but don’t torture me like this!]

[Their interaction makes me uncomfortable…]

[Shen Mingxuan’s physique is great, but when I think of his nickname, ‘Shen Virtue,’ I can’t help feeling he’s just a fake. It’s so greasy!]

[Bai Ruoruo’s lace dress is way too short, half her butt is showing. Isn’t this basically lingerie?]

[She always plays up this innocent fairy persona, but this is just too much!]

[I can’t take it anymore. I regret watching this video. Please release Gu Chuan and Mimi’s video to cleanse my eyes!]

This time, to increase interactivity, the production team gave the contestants their phones back so they could watch comments and check the vote rankings in real time.

So it wasn’t just the online audience who saw that cringe-inducing scene between Bai Ruoruo and Shen Mingxuan—the other contestants saw it too. Their expressions were indescribable.

While the director did say the intensity was up to them, Heartthrob Moments is a family show, not an adult show!

Other contestants managed to balance the intensity, keeping it suggestive but not sleazy.

But Shen Mingxuan and Bai Ruoruo seemed to have gone purely for shock value, and it came off as tasteless.

However, they seemed utterly convinced that they would win.

Before shooting, Shen Mingxuan and Bai Ruoruo had studied why the Gu Chuan-Mimi couple was so popular.

Their conclusion was that Mimi played up her sultry side, while Gu Chuan showed off his muscles.

So, for tonight’s video, they did the same thing, only more suggestive, more daring, and more bold—they were sure they would crush the competition.

But when Bai Ruoruo refreshed the comments and saw the flood of criticisms calling them greasy and disgusting, her face fell.

But she quickly reassured herself that these were just Mimi’s fans bashing her. The audience loves this kind of thing, and she’s way more pure and pretty than Mimi. The audience has no reason not to love her!

Meanwhile, Lu Yu was sitting next to Mimi, her eyes sparkling. “Mimi, your video with Brother Chuan is next. What kind of video did you shoot? Ahhh, it must be super sweet and super beautiful!”

Actually, what Lu Yu really wanted to say was that whatever kind of video Mimi and Gu Chuan shot, it was bound to be packed with sexual tension and ready to explode!

But mindful of being on camera, Lu Yu held back.

Mimi, recalling that scene, couldn’t help but blush slightly, her voice muffled. “It’s okay.”

This time, the production team didn’t keep people waiting long. Soon, they released Mimi and Gu Chuan’s video.
