Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Although he had made preparations, Yu Ci couldn't help but feel a twitch in his eyelids and a tightness in his anus from everyone's "enthusiasm".

……

"It's this one? Can't we get a different one?"

"No way!" Cheng Meimei laughed twice, then interjected, "Once you draw the Autumn Water Goddess, it's a matter of fate, and you can't change it!"

“Alright, since it can’t be changed.” Gu Qiushui tossed her long hair and lowered her eyes gently. “Then I’ll have to ask the first person on my left if they agree.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene and camera immediately switched to Yu Ci, who had changed.

She still had a dazed expression and asked, Gu Qiushui asked directly, "Yu Ci, I remember you said on Weibo that you are my die-hard fan."

"Now, your idol needs to recruit you. Are you willing?"

“I…” Yu Ci raised his voice, “I am willing.”

Most variety shows initially shoot nude videos with rather dry storylines and awkward situations. The reason these shows can maintain a tight plot and generate a lot of laughs when they air is mainly due to the addition of subtitles and catchy music in post-production.

but--

At this moment.

The scene where Yu Ci and Gu Qiushui were preparing to accept their punishment seemed to have its own background noise.

They got up, pulled out chairs, and suddenly hugged each other in the pre-marked camera positions.

The interplay of red and white is easily noticeable, with red taking the dominant position.

This was the first time Yu Ci had ever kissed Gu Qiushui in public...

She couldn't quite put her finger on what made the kiss different from before, but the sudden whispers of her teammates around her when their lips touched made her tense up for a moment.

Yu Ci felt as if Gu Qiushui was about to pull his tense body into her arms, as if his body was being held even tighter.

Her jaw was forcefully breached; could her kiss be considered aggressive, or rather, given that it was being filmed, it had a touch of...gentlemanliness?

But despite their seemingly serious demeanor and forceful actions, which led everyone around them to believe they were being punished, they were actually...

This feeling of a clandestine affair made Yu Ci a little weak.

A minute passed quickly, but Gu Qiushui still hadn't let go. It was only after a while that she pulled Yu Ci back to their seats.

Following the pre-arranged script, everyone began to improvise.

"The goddess is indeed a goddess, worthy of being called the light of acting. One kiss made all of us here feel excited."

"The scene is so beautiful." Cheng Meimei clapped her hands. "If you added some falling petals, it could be straight into a TV series."

Guan Yu's eyes... were mostly filled with nostalgia, "The entertainment industry is indeed a place where the new generation surpasses the old."

Everyone was praising the 'beautiful' and affectionate kiss, but Cheng Xu, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Qiu Shui's kiss was indeed incredibly skillful; she's definitely an experienced person."

Everyone: ...

That's a very subtle statement.

Gu Qiushui, as a TV drama queen, has acted in many dramas and is a dedicated person. She has indeed kissed quite a few people on screen. But while she may have had many roles, saying such things at this time is very tasteless.

However, Gu Qiuqian didn't lose her temper. She maintained the persona given to her by the production team—aloof inside but warm on the outside—and calmly replied, "She is quite experienced. Teacher Cheng is right."

Behind the camera, Li Changping frowned. What the hell? Today's theme is warmth and romance, and the atmosphere for filming is supposed to be gentle. What kind of bloodless conflict is this? Just as he was about to call a stop, he suddenly noticed the camera panning across Yu Ci, and her face... suddenly turned red.

Li Changping: !

They are quite experienced.

Yu Ci blushed slightly.

……

Regardless of whether there's anything fishy going on, Li Changping is determined to make sure they're involved in something fishy.

The camera gave Yu Ci's flushed face several close-ups, and deliberately captured several slow-motion shots of Gu Qiushui turning around to look at her.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The long filming period has come to an end.

Li Changping treated everyone to afternoon tea at a high-end garden restaurant in Paris.

After afternoon tea, the filming of this episode of "Connecting All Directions" was truly over.

Because they hadn't bought tickets in advance, Yu Ci and Gu Qiushui didn't fly back to the capital until the next day.

On this very day, the popularity of the Akiji pairing exploded in China.

The kissing scene aired that day.

Chapter 82 Pleasant Going Through the Shower Curtain?

What is an explosion?

That's what it's called.

After Yu Ci and Gu Qiushui returned to China and were adjusting to the time difference, they took a nap together. When they woke up, Weibo was buzzing.

Before a whole host of confusing and mysterious questions could be answered, another explosive plot twist has emerged.

kiss!

Not the kind of kiss where the lips just touch, but the kind where the tongue goes out!

Each forum has encountered setbacks.

-lz: Is "Sitongbada" going to take things too far lately? What's with that truth or dare game at the end? Is the production team up to cause trouble?

-lz: I can't take it anymore, I watched that line again. After Gu Qiushui said it so skillfully, what did the production team mean by suddenly making Yu Ci blush? Are they trying to make us overthink it?

-lz: This season's variety shows are really something! All they know how to do is sell these cult-like pairings, randomly putting two girls together without considering what we guys think? I don't understand... By the way, this episode is supposedly the end. I'll tag @LiChangping/Director, have you ever thought about inviting Gu Qiushui and Yu Ci to come back?

-lz: This show is so good! Will they actually invite them?!

……

-100l: Another one has gone mad.

The conversation on the forum suddenly turned to a certain point.

-1029l: Hey, I heard that Goddess Qiushui and Yuci seem to have returned to China today?

-1030l: Now that you're back in China, you'll probably be browsing Weibo, right? Why don't we just ask on Weibo?

The online forum users instantly migrated to Weibo.

Countless people visited Yu Ci's homepage and began leaving comments below.

Fan A: Miss Yu Ci, I have a question. You participated in "Si Tong Ba Da" this time. Will you continue to participate next time?

Fan B: I'd like to ask, do you still keep in touch with Goddess Qiushui after the show?

Fan C: I'm asking, is this your first time kissing? Qiu Shui has kissed you forcefully before, hasn't he?

Yu Ci's phone kept ringing. He had just woken up and was feeling extremely anxious as he looked at the messages one after another.

"Sister Qiushui, may I reply to these Weibo comments?"

Gu Qiushui glanced at her phone screen, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, as long as it's ambiguous."

"it is good--"

You can reply now; Yu Ci immediately identified fan C.

She quickly replied, "Why would you think... I was the one who was forcibly kissed?"

Chen Meng was originally an ordinary CP fan who liked to enjoy her own private world. She usually just left comments and indulged in her own fantasies. This was the first time she had received a reply from the actual celebrities involved.

Even though the person in question isn't a superstar, I'm still so excited!

She held her phone, looked at the message, and replied, "Because Miss Yu Ci, you look like you've been wronged..."

Yu Ci, feeling somewhat indignant upon seeing the word "shou" in the reply, took his phone and went to find Gu Qiushui.

Before he could even question her, just watching her sitting quietly behind her desk, her long hair pulled back, her head bowed, her expression unreadable in the shadows, Yu Ci fell silent.

That's actually... pretty assertive.

Compared to Gu Qiushui, someone as normal as her does indeed feel somewhat inferior in comparison.

Hearing the sound, Gu Qiushui, who was reading, put down her book. "What's wrong?"

"fine."

"What do you mean, 'nothing'?"

"It was just chatting with netizens and talking about variety shows."

As he spoke, Yu Ci naturally walked into Gu Qiushui's study.

Sitting on the small egg chair, Yu Ci swayed back and forth, "By the way, Sister Qiushui, netizens are all asking if we'll be going on 'All Roads' again after this recording. What should I do—"

"Don't answer this question." Gu Qiushui raised her eyes. "You can answer the question about our relationship now, and then wait for the topic to gain traction, and Sister Zhao will announce that my studio has signed you."

"oh oh."

Work-related matters must be treated with rigor and seriousness.

"Oh right, and about your follow-up show, 'Food is Here,' I'll take you to the TV station for an audition next time. You'll be making desserts."

"Dessert?"

"Yes, the ones you made for me last time." Although Yu Ci could also cook home-style dishes, Gu Qiushui observed her for a while and still chose the dessert category for her. "Your desserts are very exquisite. As for home-style dishes, the program team has invited famous chefs with power, so we won't choose that."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Sister Qiushui."

Anyway... she didn't really understand it either.

"Ah."

"Oh, right, there's something else." For some reason, Gu Qiushui's voice suddenly lowered.

"What is it?"

"Exactly, have you realized you've forgotten something?"

The woman in the red dress sat behind the desk, arms crossed, a slight smile on her face. Her expression was intense. Yu Ci was taken aback. Had she forgotten something? He racked his brains... Uh, had she forgotten something?
