If the first two pairs had delivered chaos and comedy, the third promised something else entirely—it almost had what the director wanted.
The fluttering moments, the stolen glances, and—was that, perhaps, a faint blush?
From behind the monitor, the director leaned in, eyes gleaming.
"Finally," he whispered, "romance!"
If An Ning had been standing beside the director, she would have scoffed outright.
Romance? Between Sun Qiaolian and Zhou Zhenyu? That's practically impossible.
An Ning almost laughed. The only thing romantic about them was how efficiently Sun Qiaolian managed to direct the camera's attention.
In the original timeline, she remembered the second week of the dating show vividly—when the lineup expanded to five men and five women.
To solidify her image as the nice woman—all caring tones and sweet smiles—Sun Qiaolian had made use of Zhou Zhenyu.
She had cast admiring glances at him, listened attentively, and laughed at all the right moments.
