Chapter 54 To Think He Got Every Single One Right

Xu Zhaozhao took the questionnaire and immediately saw a series of rapid-fire questions.

Such as: sunny day or rainy day, carbonated drinks or juice, seaside or mountain peak, kittens or puppies, friendship or romance, proactive or passive...

"There are twenty questions in total. Please fill them out truthfully. Once completed, the staff will collect and manage them uniformly."

"Next, the staff will use your partner's answers to quiz you, and we'll see how many of their preferences you can guess correctly."

"As long as each person can answer at least ten correctly, and the couple accumulates a total of twenty correct answers, you will earn the right to participate in tonight's bonfire party. Otherwise..."

The director paused for a moment. "Both of you will be eliminated!"

[Goodness gracious, the production team is setting the trap right here!]

[So, the production team had a countermeasure ready from the very beginning in response to Ke Hao's stunt, didn't they?]

[Probably so. The production team is determined to carry through with the eliminations!]

[Director Sun is actually quite interesting. Ruthlessly eliminating those lacking chemistry—does that mean he is actually a person who places romance above all else? He definitely doesn't want any guests just coasting along!]

[Ha, you're overthinking it, aren't you?]

[Whether that's the case or not, from directing nature documentaries in the past to filming this romance reality show now, if Director Sun didn't have some sort of persistence in his heart, he certainly wouldn't have prepared this show.]

No matter what kind of doubts the audience in the live stream raised, the guests had to bite the bullet and face these questions.

Under the monitoring of the staff and numerous camera lenses, everyone sat around the table and filled in their own answers independently, with zero time to communicate or compare notes.

Ten minutes later, the director announced the collection of the answers and then had the guests draw lots to determine the order in which each couple would be questioned.

The first group was Zhan Wang and Lin Xuehui.

First up, the male guest had to guess the female guest's answers.

Because Zhan Wang had accidentally caught a glimpse of Xu Zhaozhao's musical talent, he had spent a bit more time paying attention to her, which resulted in him being somewhat absent-minded toward Lin Xuehui, his partner of three collaborations.

Out of the twenty rapid-fire questions, he barely managed to guess ten correctly.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuehui successfully guessed fifteen of Zhan Wang's answers.

[This Lin Xuehui is really...]

[What is there to praise about this? Zhan Wang is a little prince of music, often attending events and giving interviews where he reveals some personal preferences. With just a little bit of effort, anyone can easily figure out his personal traits.]

[Well, by your logic, Ke Hao and Chen Sisiyi have both given so many interviews, they must have guessed each other's preferences inside out, right?]

[That's right, Ke Hao and Chen Sisi are definitely going to be the most compatible pair among the six couples.]

And the reality proved to be exactly as that viewer predicted in the chat.

The second group consisted of Ke Hao and Chen Sisi.

Ke Hao guessed fourteen questions correctly, while Chen Sisi managed to guess seventeen of Ke Hao's answers.

[Oh, the user above called it like a prophet.]

Many viewers expressed their admiration in the live stream chat.

[So, it seems... it's not entirely fair either. If they are celebrities who have faced media interviews for years, it's really not that hard to guess their preferences.]

What this person said was correct; a celebrity's preferences are indeed much easier to figure out than an ordinary person's.

The bigger the celebrity and the more interviews they have accepted, the more their true preferences become exposed.

Especially since Chen Sisi had set her sights on the Film Emperor from the start, she had long since thoroughly researched all of Ke Hao's background information.

That was why she was able to answer seventeen questions about Ke Hao correctly.

Seeing Chen Sisi smiling so smugly that she could barely close her mouth, Xu Zhaozhao's gaze flickered.

We are already past the halfway mark of the romance show. By this point, can Chen Sisi be considered deeply bound to Ke Hao?

From here on out, does she still need me?

She truly didn't want to keep crossing paths with Shen Mu day in and day out on this show anymore.

For the past ten years, she had never once encountered Shen Mu, yet within days of their divorce, she was forced to spend every waking moment in his company.

No one could possibly understand what she was feeling.

The third group comprised Xu Wenya and He Xingchen, two complete non-celebrities.

Ever since their debut on the show, these two had remained steadily paired up.

Everyone assumed that their level of chemistry, even if not higher than Ke Hao and Chen Sisi's, should at least maintain a comparable level.

To everyone's utter shock, one of them only guessed eight questions correctly, and the other nine, regrettably making them the first couple to be eliminated.

The fourth group was Qiu Qianrou and Luo Chengfeng.

Although both were popular internet bloggers with a strong online presence, their level of chemistry clearly fell short of their ambitions.

Luo Chengfeng managed to guess ten of Qiu Qianrou's answers, but unfortunately, Qiu Qianrou only guessed seven of Luo Chengfeng's.

One of them failed to meet the baseline of ten correct answers, and since Luo Chengfeng had only scored ten himself, he had no leeway to save Qiu Qianrou.

Just like that, the second eliminated couple emerged.

The fifth group consisted of Song Qing and Sun Yu.

This couple had experienced breaking up and getting back together, ultimately choosing to re-form their partnership.

After all, both of them had been betrayed in their past relationships.

Although the time they had spent together was not as long as some of the eliminated couples, they had experienced more betrayal and their minds were somewhat more sensitive than others.

In the end, one answered thirteen questions correctly and the other eleven, narrowly escaping elimination.

The sixth group finally brought Xu Zhaozhao and Shen Mu to the stage.

Shen Mu was to guess Xu Zhaozhao's preferences.

While the staff pasted Xu Zhaozhao's answer sheet in front of the camera, they began the questioning: "Sunny day or rainy day?"

"Rainy day."

"Carbonated drinks or juice?"

"Juice."

"Seaside or mountain peak?"

"Seaside."

"Blue or green?"

"Green."

"Proactive or passive?"

"Proactive."

After uttering the word "proactive," Shen Mu subconsciously glanced at Xu Zhaozhao.

However, Xu Zhaozhao was lost in her own thoughts and seemed completely indifferent to his answer.

"Lively or quiet?"

"Lively." The slight emotional ripple on Shen Mu's face was instantly replaced by his usual cold indifference.

"Kittens or puppies?"

"Kittens."

...

By the time Shen Mu finished answering all twenty questions, the audience in front of the screen couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Because everyone had a copy of Xu Zhaozhao's handwritten answers right before their eyes.

Everything Shen Mu said matched Xu Zhaozhao's choices with absolute perfection.

[Ahhhhh, they actually cleared it with a perfect score? Shen Mu, you really... love her too much, wuwuwu...]

[Oh my goodness, Shen Mu usually looks so quiet and uncommunicative, did he really put this much thought into learning about Xu Zhaozhao?]

[Appearances can be deceiving has never been more vividly illustrated.]

[Indeed, just because Shen Mu is tall and handsome doesn't mean he isn't capable of deep affection.]

[Is it possible that the reason he got a full score is the same as the reason we analyzed earlier? No matter how famous she is, Xu Zhaozhao is still an actress, and her personal information can be found online.]

[If that really is the case, I'm afraid I'm going to swoon from the sweetness.]

[Right? If Shen Mu had already learned everything about Xu Zhaozhao from various sources beforehand, and came on this romance show specifically for her...]

[Help, I've been sweetened to the point of fainting!]
