Meanwhile.
In the Chu Jian Restaurant in Yangcheng.
Sun Le Yan, the first to arrive, was already seated at the dining table, massaging her jet-black, slightly curly hair.
She didn't say anything about anticipating who the next guest would be.
Instead, her delicate face contorted in a grimace.
Her whole being exuded a feeling of gnashing teeth.
Clearly, she was still replaying the scene of her encounter with the "divine con man," Su Bai, in her mind.
She couldn't understand, she couldn't understand.
She was so clever and quick-witted, how could she lose to a con artist?!
Even if the con man had prepared beforehand, there was no reason for her to be tricked twice, unable to answer a single question!
Especially those questions!
Like, "My dad supports me."
Or, "Is sign language harassment from a deaf-mute considered physical or verbal?"
Argh!
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She felt like she didn't fail to answer, but was simply controlled by Su Bai's rhythm in the conversation.
He didn't even give her time to think!
Although, she only lost ten yuan.
It was nothing to her.
But somehow, she couldn't shake off a sense of injustice.
If it weren't for the filming, she would have gone down and challenged Su Bai again.
She was confident that if she had another chance, she wouldn't lose to him!
But on second thought.
Why bother arguing with a con man, she wouldn't see him again anyway.
"Don't get angry, don't get angry."
She fanned herself with her hands, trying to calm down.
Dating was more important than a con artist.
She had to maintain her image, she had to meet the guests! Image, image, image!
She repeated it silently to herself.
—— Hahahaha! You can tell Sun Le Yan is about to go crazy!
—— I can bet she's still replaying those two questions in her head.
—— Unwilling to lose, anyone understand? I don't know why, but I now have this urge to not watch the dating show, but instead watch Sun Le Yan and that con man go head-to-head!
—— !!! Me too, me too! It's really hilarious.
—— But unfortunately, the con man can't be on the show, the cast has already been decided. Let's hope Le Yan can pull herself together and face the next guest!
Netizens noticed Sun Le Yan's unusual behavior.
They couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was absurd, yet unforgettable. Their minds still retained Su Bai's smug expression.
They couldn't forget, naturally, they also understood Sun Le Yan's emotions at the moment.
"Hello..."
Suddenly, footsteps sounded, approaching from afar.
The next second, the restaurant door opened, and a white T-shirt came into view.
The guy who entered walked towards Sun Le Yan with a hint of shyness, then took the initiative to greet her.
Hearing his voice, Sun Le Yan abruptly raised her bright and clear eyes.
She hurriedly put away her thoughts and stood up.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Hello."
She couldn't help but glance up and down at the guy in front of her.
Sunny and cheerful, clean and innocent, that was her first impression of this guy!
His looks were definitely an 85+ score.
But she didn't know why, but Su Bai's smug smile kept flashing in her mind.
It even felt like compared to that smile, the guy in front of her seemed to have lost some of his appeal!
It was as if she thought, oh... he's not that handsome.
She was completely dumbfounded, she didn't even know why she had this thought.
"Hello, are you alone?"
"My name is Peng Gao."
Peng Gao smiled and introduced himself, completely oblivious to Sun Le Yan's strange behavior.
"Sun Le Yan."
Hearing his voice, Sun Le Yan quickly shook off the messy thoughts in her head.
She responded in kind.
After that, they both took their seats, and the atmosphere became awkward.
But Sun Le Yan didn't care about breaking the ice, she just held her forehead and doubted herself. Why did she have that thought just now?!
Why did she think a con man was handsome?... But he was actually pretty handsome.
But he was a con artist...
What she didn't know was, it wasn't just her, everyone in the live chatroom had the same thought.
—— Such a sunny little brother, but I don't know why, I can't get interested.
—— Yeah, yeah, yeah... It's like he's not as good as the con man just now.
—— Oh no, oh no, we must have been bewitched by the con man!
—— Demons and monsters, leave, demons and monsters, leave!
For a while, the live chatroom became an exorcism session.
They all knew that the con man wouldn't be on the show, no matter how handsome he was, so what was the point?
Holding onto that thought could only hinder their shipping!
After all, based on the usual pattern, the comments would be all about the male and female guests being a perfect match!
But they couldn't help it, just those few words, the impact Su Bai had was profound.
—— How about we actually crowdfund and get the con man on the show.
—— I think it's feasible!
—— Feasible for what? How can someone suddenly be added to the show? Let's just watch the show properly.
It wasn't just that.
Even in the observation room, Du Hai Tao and the others had this idea.
But as hosts and cupid, they couldn't possibly focus their attention on things outside the show.
They couldn't mention anything about Su Bai.
They could only keep their thoughts to themselves, adjusting their emotions, trying to hype up Peng Gao and Sun Le Yan's ship.
But the response was rather weak.
Later, Li Dinghao and Ni Yu Tong arrived one after another.
With two men and two women, the atmosphere eased somewhat.
Most of the comments in the live chatroom started to return to normal.
However, it was still rather subdued.
With the little interlude of the divine con man, Su Bai, now that he was gone, it felt like the show had lost some flavor.
Especially when Sun Le Yan and the others got stuck in awkward conversation.
The image of the "divine con man" Su Bai became even clearer in their minds.
They couldn't help but imagine, if Su Bai the con man were here, throwing out a few legal questions, what would it be like.
But everyone knew.
It was just a fantasy.
However.
At that moment.
Another set of gentle footsteps sounded.
It attracted everyone's attention.
Netizens, the observation room, even Sun Le Yan and the others, all looked towards the door.
Another person?!
No one expected there to be another guest.
They had thought everyone in Yangcheng had gathered.
But unexpectedly, there was still someone!
Who could it be this time?!
Would this person's appearance help them forget the impression Su Bai left on them?
No one knew, but they all understood that this was definitely the moment when everyone's eyes were most focused.
Until the door opened.
"Hello, is this the Heartbeat 7 program?"
"Hi, I'm Su Bai."
Su Bai, dressed in casual clothes, appeared at the door with a look of curiosity.
While Peng Gao and the others were still in a daze.
The live chatroom exploded.
Sun Le Yan widened her eyes and instinctively jumped up from the table.
"Con man!!!"
