Chapter 22: Fans Surpass 10,000
"Tian Xiwei, you changed into your pajamas, apologized, and even let me into your room. I don't feel safe."
Li Shen took off his clothes and jumped onto the bed.
creak.
The bed trembled.
Tian Xiwei lay on her side on the bed, her silk pajamas lightly clinging to the curves of her body.
Her large eyes were filled with astonishment:
"What...what did you say?"
"Tian Xiwei, let me make this clear beforehand: I'm just coming in to sleep. You can't do anything reckless!"
Tian Xiwei was taken aback. She was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you alright?"
"Actually, I'm not afraid of you sleeping with me, I'm afraid of you clinging to me! If you really want to sleep with me, I'll give in. But let me make this clear, I won't take responsibility."
"Get out!"
The two lay flat on the bed, each sleeping in their own place.
1 minute later.
Tian Xiwei pouted her red lips: "Li Shen, you stole my lines again!"
Li Shen sat up and asked in surprise, "I stole your lines? You mean you also want to say that you want to sleep with me, but you don't want to take responsibility?"
Tian Xiwei, you're dreaming!
Tian Xiwei paused, her pretty face instantly turning red. She pulled the blanket up to cover her face: "You've got it wrong, the previous line was my line, the previous line!"
"I'm not afraid you'll sleep with me, I'm afraid you'll cling to me."
"Go higher! Go higher!"
Li Shen smiled brightly.
This little cutie~~~
I'm not teasing her anymore, time for bed. Tomorrow will be another sunny day.
……
morning.
9 points.
Goodbye Lovers Observation Room.
The rough cut was playing on the big screen.
Yang Li held a pen and paper and took notes carefully. She was a little anxious because Li Shen didn't have as many flaws in this rough cut as last time.
At this moment, Fu Shou'er, clutching her hair, shared the same troubles.
Although Li Shen said many very impolite things:
For example, "The box is the most expensive," or "What has marriage brought you?" and so on.
Although these words are harsh and rude, they are not a flaw! On the contrary, they may be Li Shen's shining moment!
Actually, they also wanted to criticize some of the guests' behavior in the observation room, but they couldn't say things as flamboyant as Li Shen! They also didn't have the courage to criticize without restraint.
We shouldn't focus on Li Shen's confrontational style; otherwise, it's just mindless criticism.
Yang Li understood this, and Fu Shou'er was also aware of it.
Most people who become famous through stand-up comedy are intelligent enough.
So where should we start?
Whether he can make a comeback depends on taking down this universally disliked guy.
Yang Li stared intently at the screen, while Fu Shou'er gripped her hair tighter and tighter.
On the big screen, a scene of Li Shen's controversial statement appeared:
[Li Shen: "Stop analyzing my guitar skills, instead you should be analyzing how to get a new wife."]
Li Shen: "It's simple. Instead of trying to solve the problem, we should target the people who created it."
Yang Li: "Teacher He!"
Fu Shou'er: "Teacher He, please pause for a moment!"
The two spoke almost in unison.
He Ling looked at the two who seemed to understand each other perfectly: "Do you two have something to say? Who would like to speak first?"
"Me first!"
"I'll go first!"
The two of them were vying to be first.
Zhou Shen looked at the two women with surprise and suspicion.
Li Xueqin sighed softly.
He Ling: "Fu Shou'er, you go first."
Fu Shou'er stood up: "It's a traditional Chinese virtue to advise reconciliation, not separation! Everyone, listen to what Li Shen is saying? Advising a couple to divorce?..."
Yang Li quickly added, "Besides, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. One should have a sense of boundaries. It is extremely impolite to easily interfere in other people's marriages and interfere in their affairs."
Zhou Shen raised her hand: "Sisters, if your friend was having marital problems, and you both felt they should get a divorce, would you advise them to separate?"
"No!" the two women said in unison.
Zhou Shen asked, puzzled, "But that's your friend. You know he's in pain, you know divorce is the only way out, yet you don't advise him to separate?"
"Won't."
"Won't!"
Zhou Shen persisted: "What if he were your two best friends? Would you just stand by and watch him struggle in pain?"
Yang Li: "If it were my best friend, I would hint at it, but I wouldn't say it outright."
Fu Shou'er: "Not interfering in my friends' family affairs is my principle."
Zhou Shen: "Huh?!"
Li Xueqin couldn't help but exclaim, "What do you mean, 'oh my god'? It's obvious that this person isn't their best friend."
Everyone looked at Li Xueqin.
Li Xueqin said, "A true friend, at the very least, should be able to speak frankly! If someone makes a mistake, you should criticize them; if someone is in a crisis, you should remind them. Otherwise, what's the point of having friends? Do you want them to laugh at you? Or do you want them to stand by and sympathize with you?"
He Ling nodded: "Well said."
Li Xueqin continued, "To stand by and watch someone die is, in my opinion, far more serious than the boundless intrusion into a friend's marriage!"
Li Xueqin originally wanted to say "a thousand times more disgusting," but out of consideration for face, he used "much more serious" instead.
Yang Li and Fu Shou'er were speechless.
He Ling gave a thumbs up: "Great! Video continues."
On the big screen.
Li Hangliang lay on the bench, exhausted by the torment of marriage, his sallow face devoid of life.
Li Shen stood in the moonlight, playing his instrument and singing, his songs breaking people's hearts.
"Slowly, slowly I stopped feeling anything; slowly, slowly I was ignored..."
How could you bear to see me so haggard, without offering even a shred of comfort...?
Zhou Shen's eyes lit up.
The guitar music is beautiful, the lyrics are fitting, and it touches the heart.
It sounds so good!
He sat up straight, listening intently.
He Ling rested her chin on her hand, her eyes welling up with tears.
Snapped.
I pressed the pause button.
He Ling took the tissue Jia Qianqian handed her and wiped her eyes. "Sorry, I got carried away."
Jia Qianqian wiped away her tears: "My heart has also been broken by Li Shen's song. If marriage is destined to be a slow drain, a cumulative torment between husband and wife, then I think it's best to advise them to separate."
He Ling: "What do you all think of Li Shen's original song? Yang Li!"
Yang Li's lips trembled slightly.
To be honest, she was also moved by the song, even though she is a staunch critic of Li He.
He Ling teased, "Are you still holding the knife and looking at it?"
Yang Li said, "Yes, I looked at it with a knife in my hand because it pierced my heart! I admit that this is a song that touched me."
"What do you think of Shen Shen?"
"I watched it on my knees," Zhou Shen gave a thumbs up, "I really love this song, what's it called?"
"Li Shen didn't say. Fu Shou'er, what do you think?"
Fu Shou'er sighed and had to admit, "The song is good, and he does have some talent, but his character is also problematic."
"And what about the poem 'Remembering,' Professor Jia? This is Li Shen's second poem. What do you think of its artistic merit?"
Jia Qianqian read softly: "Love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment. It also ends without knowing its conclusion, vanishing with a smile. I think even a high school student could write a sentence like this, right?"
"A sentence? You don't consider it poetry?"
"I don't think so. Poetry isn't like that! I admit I was moved by his singing, but this poem is no good."
Li Xueqin: "Tomorrow I will definitely buy a collection of Teacher Jia's poems to experience true poetry."
"I'll give each of you a copy tomorrow."
On the big screen, the rough cut continued to play.
After brushing his teeth, Li Shen left. Tian Xiwei failed to write a poem, and the words "To be continued" made everyone laugh.
When Li Shen returned to the courtyard, Tian Xiwei opened the curtains a crack and silently observed for a while.
When Li Shen said, "I mean, your smoking is harmful to my health," the DaJiang drone hovered in the air, its camera aimed at the floor-to-ceiling window of room 304, successfully capturing the fleeting smile on Tian Xiwei's face.
When Li Shen went upstairs, she quickly lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
As Li Shen sat down at the computer desk, Tian Xiwei's chest heaved noticeably, and she looked at Li Shen's back with a resentful gaze, clearly still harboring resentment.
But when Li Shen pulled out a jar of canned yellow peaches and placed it on the table, Tian Xiwei stared at the jar for a long, long time.
Finally, she sighed softly and turned on the lamp.
Why was this canned yellow peach able to dispel Tian Xiwei's resentment?
The guests in the observation room realized that this was probably not just a simple can of food.
After various analyses, He Ling concluded:
What role does this can of yellow peaches play in the relationship between Li Shen and Tian Xiwei? Perhaps we in the observation room are overthinking it, or perhaps there really is a story behind it. Let's quietly wait for the answer.
Yesterday, we witnessed a scene quite different from when we first met the day before.
These two "classmates" have a touch of humor and a touch of sweetness.
The phrase "She'll become a sensation sooner or later" is a double entendre, expressing concern for Xiaotian's rest while also wishing her success in her career.
"Your legs take up space, get in the passenger seat." This not only relieved Xiaotian's helplessness at being pestered by Mailin, but also praised her for her long legs, making it a double entendre.
Li Shen's linguistic charm is truly captivating, He Ling is convinced!
He Ling faced the camera and clasped her hands in a fist salute.
He took the data sheet handed to him by the staff:
"These are the current trending topics on Weibo: #Li Shen's singing made Li Hangliang cry#, trending at number 3, #Tender farewell poem#, trending at number 5."
Despite facing widespread online criticism and various doubts, Li Shen's name has remained firmly in the top 10 since the show began.
Yang Li and Fu Shou'er looked at each other in bewilderment.
They're so envious of this massive amount of traffic.
He Ling: "Moreover, Li Shen's personal Weibo followers increased from a few hundred to over 1 million in less than two days!"
Li Shen gained immense attention due to his high profile, unique personality, and sharp tongue.
Some call him the "strongest mouth double in dating reality shows," while others call him "Dog Bro." Despite being attacked by countless haters, he has also gained some support from fans.
In the online poll for 【Tian Xiwei/Li Shen: Reconcile/Break Up】, the ratio was 20:80. When the data was last released, 95% of netizens wanted to break up, but now, that ratio has dropped to 80%.
What will become of Tian Xiwei and Li Shen's relationship next? What kind of love and hate will unfold for the other three couples? We'll find out next time.
Before the program ended, we connected with Zhang Ruonan, the "Angel of Love," to get firsthand information from the scene.
On the big screen, Zhang Ruonan's pretty face appeared.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the guesthouse.
Zhang Ruonan opened her diary, which was filled with notes, and reported the situation to the observation room in front of the live broadcast camera.
As a love angel, Zhang Ruonan isn't very good at controlling the situation, and she has no experience in resolving emotional issues, but her role as an on-site observer is almost perfect.
The diary contained about 20 pages of entries, in which I recorded my detailed observations of each group of guests and my own insights, line by line, page by page.
She was the one who slept the latest and woke up the earliest among everyone. She wandered around every corner, carefully observing each group of guests. She worked harder than the staff.
Lacking ability, she decided to make up for it with "hard work" and do her job as a love angel well.
"Hello everyone in the observation room... Some details are off-camera, such as He Meiyan secretly crying in the restroom... Also, Li Shen, who went to bed the latest last night, didn't sleep at all."
He Ling: "Nan Nan, how did you know?"
"Because I just checked the hallway security camera footage and didn't hear any snoring."
……
When Zhang Ruonan hung up the live stream, she almost fell into Li Shen's arms as soon as she turned around.
Li Shen looked at her with a deep gaze, his eyes covered in dark circles.
Zhang Ruonan blinked her big eyes: "Li Shen, good morning, haha!"
"Good morning, agent."
Zhang Ruonan wore a halter-neck mini dress, her long wavy hair cascading over her shoulders. Her smile was light and gentle, giving off a friendly and approachable vibe.
Li Shen pointed to the Dongpeng Special Drink she was carrying in her small hand: "Have you had it?"
No.
"Can I have it?"
"Give."
Li Shen yawned again; he really hadn't slept all night.
Imagine lying next to a stunningly beautiful woman, with large breasts and a slim waist, wearing only a thin nightgown and exuding a faint fragrance. Would you try that?
Let's see if you can fall asleep.
He overestimated his own willpower!
Tian Xiwei, on the other hand, fell into a sweet sleep shortly after Li Shen finished speaking last night, and she hasn't woken up even when the sun is high in the sky.
This time, it was Li Shen's turn to toss and turn, unable to sleep.
After drinking half a bottle of Dongpeng Special Drink, Li Shen waved to Zhang Ruonan and said, "I'm going for a walk. Goodbye."
"Wait a minute, Li Shen, thank you for last night."
"You're welcome. And why thank me?"
"Huh? Pfft!" Zhang Ruonan laughed, "You saw me coughing from the smoke, and knew I was too embarrassed to stop them, so you stopped them from smoking for me, but under the pretext of your good health. I know what you're talking about."
"Oh." Li Shen finally realized, and he looked her over carefully. "I've noticed that you're even more beautiful than Tian Xiwei!"
"Oh? No, not at all," Zhang Ruonan said, flattered, her pretty face blushing with delight. "We're equally beautiful, each with our own unique charm, hehe."
"I mean, how come you're even more delusional than Tian Xiwei?"
"??? I hate you!"
Li Shen looked at the small, fragrant fist that had pounded into his chest, and silently walked away.
Zhang Ruonan opened her diary and wrote down an "Observation Report": Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, stubborn but kind-hearted—Li Shen.
Li Shen is quite an interesting person to be friends with.
Zhang Ruonan bit the pen, wondering to herself: Xiaotian, what are you dreaming about?
Sunlight bathed the ancient city of Lijiang. Li Shen leaned against the courtyard wall and looked down. Inside the ancient city, tourists were everywhere.
On both sides of the Yuhe River, in the area of the bar street, the "Reunion" bar has opened its doors.
Looking into the distance, Li Shen saw a long-haired man sitting at the door, but he was too far away to make out his features.
"Shall we go see Lao Huang tonight?" Li Hangliang, with red and swollen eyes, leaned against the courtyard wall in the same posture.
Old Huang?
Oh, the owner of "Reunion".
Li Shen slapped his thigh: "Oh right, doesn't Lao Huang have a daughter who's an exceptionally good singer?"
"Um."
"What was it called again?"
"Huang Xiaoyun!"
"How is her career going now?"
"She's similar to other talented female singers; she has a good reputation but no real works, and we haven't heard from her in a long time."
The music scene is so tough right now. In an era where traditional music is being destroyed, singers also have to face the impact of AI singers.
So, Oda made the right decision to go into acting back then. If she had become a singer, she might have lost her job. Don't feel guilty; it was a blessing in disguise.
Li Hangliang put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter, and lit it.
"Whoosh!" Li Shen blew out the extinguisher.
Li Hangliang pressed the flame out again.
"Whoosh!" Li Shen continued to blow out the air.
Li Hangliang frowned: "Are you crazy?!"
Li Shen turned to Zhang Ruonan and said, "This time, thank me."
Zhang Ruonan: "..."
