I'm in Wuha, and the whole internet is shipping me and Song Yuqi as a couple.

Song Yuqi's fingers touched the cold microphone casing.

The scene was so quiet that the only sound could be the waves crashing against the rocks.

Viewers held their breath in front of their screens, and a large area of ​​the comment section went blank.

She picked up the red microphone.

There was no way out, and she didn't want to retreat any further.

Those sneaky glances hidden in the corners of the film crew, those expressions of concern made under the guise of work—all of them were pushed to the brink of disaster at this moment.

She didn't look at the camera, nor at her colleagues who were watching the spectacle from the sidelines.

She held the microphone and turned her head.

His gaze met Jiang Che's calm eyes.

Song Yuqi called out his name.

Jiang Che.

The voice was very soft, and even a little trembling.

But when it came out through the speakers, every word was pronounced very clearly.

She said it directly.

"I like you."

The moment those four words were uttered, the entire beach seemed to freeze in mid-air, even the wind seemed to stop.

Song Yuqi's fingers, gripping the microphone, turned white, but she didn't pause.

"I've liked it for a long time."

She didn't try to be sentimental, nor did she sound tearful; her tone only conveyed a resolute determination to go all out.

"It's grown so long that I've almost forgotten when it started."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered the microphone a few inches.

Song Yuqi felt her mind go blank.

She completely forgot that she was filming a variety show.

She forgot that there were so many cameras pointed at her from all around.

They forgot that at this very moment, 30 million people were watching them in the live stream.

All she could see was the man in the black T-shirt in front of her.

A violent coughing sound came from the area on the right side of the stool.

Chen He just gulped down a mouthful of mineral water, which then sprayed all over the beach in front of him.

He choked so badly that tears streamed down his face, and he coughed violently, clutching his chest.

Then came a scream.

"Oh my god!"

Deng Chao was only sitting on half a stool when he heard that confession, and he was so shocked that he leaned back.

He flipped over and landed flat on his back in the sandpit.

"Brother Chao, are you alright?" Lu Han quickly threw down the potato chips in her hand and ran over to help him.

"Leave me alone!" Deng Chao lay in the sand, pointing to the sofa area. "Look at Lao Jiang! This is a famous scene!"

Actually, even without Deng Chao's reminder, all the cameras in the room had already framed Jiang Che in the center.

After a few seconds of complete silence, the comment section instantly filled the screen.

【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! 】

[She said it! Song Yuqi really said it!]

My ten-year unrequited love has finally come true! My life has been worthwhile!

[Who understands, family members! Her tone was so natural, full of genuine emotion!]

[Jiang Che, say something! If you dare refuse, I'll assassinate you tonight via the internet!]

Jiang Che ignored the comments and Deng Chao, who was staggering around on the sidelines.

He sat on the sofa, his gaze never leaving Song Yuqi's face.

Looking at her trembling shoulders, looking at her eyes that she was trying hard not to look away.

Jiang Che stood up.

He took a step forward and stopped in front of Song Yuqi.

The distance between the two was brought extremely close.

Song Yuqi looked up at him, the microphone in her hand still in the same low position as before.

Jiang Che reached out his hand but didn't touch the microphone switch.

He grabbed the microphone by the middle and pulled it from Song Yuqi's hand.

Then he turned around and put the microphone back on the small round table.

The subtext of this action couldn't be clearer.

You've finished speaking.

I'll take control of the rest of the situation.

Jiang Che turned around again and looked down at Song Yuqi.

He spoke.

"I know."

There are only three words.

No microphone was used, but the sound recording equipment on site was good enough that the three words were clearly heard by everyone.

Song Yuqi stood there, stunned.

What kind of answer is that?

You just replied with "I know"?

Just as she was about to stand up and question him.

Jiang Che bent down and placed his hands on the back of the sofa next to her.

As he bent down, the shadow enveloped her.

His gaze met her eyes.

"Me too."

Three words, short and without any superfluous embellishment, yet so heavy that they leave one breathless.

Song Yuqi's breath hitched for a moment.

Looking at the face so close to hers, her heart pounded wildly, completely out of control.

These two sentences are put together.

I know you like me.

me too.

A burst of cheers erupted from the surrounding area, as if the rooftops were about to be blown off.

Wu Zheng was so excited behind the monitor that he jumped up and dropped the walkie-talkie in his hand to the ground.

"Close-up! Give them both a close-up! Quick, quick, quick!"

The directing team was in complete chaos.

Deng Chaogang climbed out of the sandpit and clapped his hands with sand covering his head.

"Old Jiang Niu! That was a beautiful shot!"

Chen He was still coughing, giving a thumbs-up as he coughed.

Lu Han was laughing so hard her eyes disappeared from her mouth.

in the audience.

Dilraba sat in her original seat, looking at the two people under the spotlight.

She didn't join in the commotion, nor did she show any sign of disappointment.

She watched the whole thing quietly.

Then, Dilraba stood up.

She raised her hands and clapped three times very gently but earnestly.

The crisp applause was drowned out by the cheers from the entire audience.

Dilraba didn't watch any longer. She turned around and walked along the seaside promenade towards the hotel lobby.

The second camera happened to capture the moment she turned and left.

The figure in the red dress looked dashing and agile in the night.

The tone of the comments in the live stream has changed.

[Dilraba's three claps were a farewell, weren't they?]

She really let go; she has such grace.

Accepting the consequences of a bet is the mark of a dignified adult.

[Dilraba, keep going! You'll meet people who only have eyes for you!]

Wu Zheng looked at the nearly 40 million online users in the backend and smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Wu Zheng picked up the megaphone and walked back to the edge of the stage.

"This is the surprise of our season of 'Five Dogs'!"

"Thank you everyone for your company, and thank you Jiang Che and Yu Qi for your genuine reactions!"

"The season finale live stream has come to a successful end!"

At the director's command, the main channel signal was cut off.

A thank-you message from the production team popped up on the screen.

The searchlights on the beach were gradually turned off, leaving only a few dim streetlights.

The staff began disassembling the equipment in an orderly manner.

"Let's go, let's go get some late-night snacks! Director Wu is paying tonight!" Deng Chao said, brushing the sand off his clothes and calling out to everyone.

"I want to eat ten pounds of crayfish!" Chen He shouted at the top of his lungs.

A large group of people moved towards the hotel restaurant.

No one disturbed the two people still sitting on the sofa.

In less than ten minutes, the once bustling beach became deserted.

The sea breeze blew in gusts.

Song Yuqi was still sitting in that seat.

Jiang Che had already stepped back half a step and sat down on the single sofa next to him.

Without the cameras surrounding them, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Song Yuqi turned her head and looked at the person next to her.

He was holding his phone, seemingly replying to someone's message.

The profile of her face appeared very soft under the streetlights.

"Jiang Che," Song Yuqi called out to him.

"Hmm." Jiang Che didn't look up; his fingers were still tapping on the screen.

"I...you..." Song Yuqi paused, carefully choosing her words, "I don't want a relationship..."

"I know," Jiang Che interrupted her, repeating those three words.

"A hasty beginning will inevitably lead to a hasty end."
