Chapter 18
I prefer practicing the Five Animals Exercise before bed!

“Su Bai!!!”

The words came out with Sun Le Yan's gritted teeth.

Following closely.

The scene seemed to replay itself exactly as it had when they first left.

They chased each other out of the Heartbeat Sweets Shop.

All the while, they bickered and made their way back to the 701 cottage.

The netizens in the live stream, unexpectedly, were in harmony and unison this time!

No one chose to laugh, but instead, they cheered!

—Beat him up! Le Yan, give him a good beating!

—Su Bai, are you one of those people who can’t live without trouble?

—I strongly support Le Yan giving Su Bai a good lesson. Beat him up, beat him up!

—I thought you were going to confess. You gave me all those words, Su Bai, you really showed me something! Le Yan, give him a few more kicks for me!

—Ah, ah, ah!! You made me build up so much anticipation for nothing! Beat Su Bai up!!!

Su Bai had truly incurred the wrath of everyone!

Who would have thought.

After all that flirting and ambiguous atmosphere.

It turned out to be just Su Bai playing tricks?

Not only did he tease Sun Le Yan, but he also dragged the netizens along!

Now, the only thing missing was for the netizens to join in, catching Su Bai and giving him a good beating!

Back in the cottage.

Sun Le Yan stormed up the stairs, ignoring everyone, and entered the room she shared with Ruan Mi Mi, plopping onto the bed.

“That rotten Su Bai! That rotten Su Bai!!!”

Even though she had already given Su Bai a beating.

Her anger hadn’t subsided in the slightest!

She had been thinking, what if Su Bai had actually confessed, should she accept him?

She was even afraid that if she didn’t accept, Su Bai would ignore her in the future.

But look at how things turned out!

“Ah, ah, ah…!”

Thinking about it, Sun Le Yan became even angrier, grabbing her raven black hair, and twisting it into a mess.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

She decided, she would never talk to Su Bai again!

Meanwhile, Ruan Mi Mi, sitting in front of the vanity, combing her hair with a small comb, was dumbfounded.

Looking at Sun Le Yan’s sullen face.

She was completely at a loss.

This… what was happening?

Didn’t Su Bai take Le Yan out alone earlier?

She had left with a happy smile, how could she come back so angry?

“Did something happen?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

Sun Le Yan sat up, looking at Ruan Mi Mi. It was as if she had found a way to vent her emotions.

She excitedly recounted everything that had happened between her and Su Bai just now!

“He actually said I’m funny looking! You tell me, how can I not be angry?”

“That guy just likes to talk nonsense.”

Sun Le Yan stomped her feet in complaint, as if the floor was Su Bai himself, and she was going to give him a good beating!

Ruan Mi Mi, now understanding the situation, flashed a strange smile.

“Are you sure… You’re just angry because he said you’re funny looking?”

“And not because Su Bai didn’t actually confess?”

!!!

Her secret thoughts exposed, Sun Le Yan froze for a moment.

Her large, bright eyes darted around, unable to meet Ruan Mi Mi’s gaze.

She could only hesitate for a moment, then stubbornly say.

“Anyway… Anyway, I’m not going to talk to him anymore!”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

Ruan Mi Mi smiled again, putting down the comb in her hand and slowly getting up.

“What are you doing?”

Sun Le Yan looked at her actions, confused.

Ruan Mi Mi turned her head slightly.

“Of course I’m going to find Su Bai. I think he’s pretty interesting, handsome, and funny.”

“Since you’re going to ignore him, I’ll try to get to know him.”

Hmm?!

Sun Le Yan immediately stood up. Before Ruan Mi Mi could take a step, she reached out.

“No! No way, that’s not allowed.”

“How can that not be allowed? You’re ignoring him, but you won’t let me?”

Ruan Mi Mi was holding back laughter but still responded calmly.

She had long understood that Le Yan wasn’t really angry, she was just jealous!

She had been looking forward to the confession for so long, but it never came, and now she was feeling awkward!

She said she wouldn’t accept it if he confessed, but what’s the difference between that and not expecting him to confess in the first place?

If that’s what we call being angry, then no couple in the world can ever have a peaceful life!

“Anyway, anyway, it’s not allowed!”

“I’m doing this for your own good. Su Bai, that master scammer, if you interact with him, you’ll definitely be angry, so you can’t go, that’s right, that’s it!”

Sun Le Yan nodded to herself, making up a suitable reason to prevent Ruan Mi Mi from going.

It was just that her evasive and increasingly rapid eyes completely betrayed her.

“Oh~ that’s how it is.”

Ruan Mi Mi dragged out her tone, “Then what if Su Bai apologizes to you?”

Sun Le Yan thought for a moment and shook her head decisively.

“Not accepting it!”

Ding-dong!

At that moment.

A phone suddenly rang.

【Heartbeat Text Message Rules: It’s now the time for anonymous Heartbeat Text Messages. Please compose a message that represents your feelings and send it to the person who made your heart flutter today~!】

【You can only send text messages to one person of the opposite sex each night. You cannot exchange personal contact information during the program!】

The first night’s Heartbeat Text Message, arrived!

At the same time, the observation room had established a connection, just waiting for the guests to make their choices.

“Oh, ho, texting.”

Ruan Mi Mi held her phone, raised it to Sun Le Yan.

With a particularly expectant look, she teased.

“So, who are you going to send it to? I remember you said the only male guest you talked to for more than three sentences today was Su Bai, right?”

Sun Le Yan clearly hadn’t expected this segment to come up now!

Her beautiful eyes fluttered even more frantically. Her fingers were constantly tapping behind her back.

She had just said she wasn’t going to talk to Su Bai anymore!

Now this…

“Do you want me to come up with a reason for you?”

Ruan Mi Mi smiled, “Perhaps, you could say, you’ll ignore him after sending this text message?”

“Uh huh?!”

Sun Le Yan suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes shining with a glimmer of light. Before Ruan Mi Mi could react.

She excitedly ran to the bed and grabbed her phone.

“I think what you said makes sense!”

“Yes, I’ll send him this text message, then I’m ignoring him for good!”

Ruan Mi Mi laughed without saying anything, just quietly squinting, as if to say.

Pretend, I’ll keep watching you pretend!

Sun Le Yan, climbing onto the bed, typed furiously, repeating to herself.

I’m just sending him this text message, then I’m ignoring him!

However, she didn’t finish typing before a text message came in.

She casually clicked on it.

【Don’t mistake airplanes for stars ever again, and I know what you want to hear, but I think it’s too early now. Maybe those words can be said later.】

Looking at this text message.

Sun Le Yan’s beautiful eyes suddenly brightened. Even though the text message was anonymous, how could she not guess who it was from?

So… he didn’t mean to do it?!

He also knew it was too early?!

He even promised that he might say it later!

At that moment.

All of Sun Le Yan’s previous anger and sulking, seemed to vanish instantly, replaced by excitement as she stood up, holding the phone.

Just as she was about to share it with Ruan Mi Mi.

She suddenly realized something, froze for a moment, and slowly suppressed her restless emotions.

She chose not to say anything.

Ruan Mi Mi, having anticipated everything, had been waiting for this, and now she teasingly commented with a smile.

“Huh? Why are you suddenly so happy? Let me guess, did someone apologize to you, and suddenly you’re not mad anymore?”

Her secret thoughts exposed again.

Sun Le Yan awkwardly turned her head away, using a stubborn tone.

“No… How could that be? I would forgive him?”

“Then why are you jumping around like this?”

Sun Le Yan fell silent for a moment, glancing at the dark night outside the window, as if Su Bai had possessed her.

“It’s late, right! It’s late, I should sleep!”

“I like to practice the Five Animal Exercises before I sleep.”
