DTBS – Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Date Mission
"It seems everyone has made up their minds," the host observed, then looked at Ding Yuyan and said, "Then let's ask our popularity queen, Ding Yuyan, to reveal her choice first?"
Ding Yuyan smiled, "Although I'm not sure if the person who makes my heart flutter wrote to me, I feel quite satisfied with this letter."
"Wait, you're not sure about the person who makes your heart flutter, and you still dare to choose?" The female host appropriately livened the atmosphere.
"Of course," Ding Yuyan nodded, "After all, I cherish everyone who likes me, and I don't want to disappoint them. However, I'm destined to disappoint the other two this time, so I'll apologize to them in advance."
She paused, then read the content of the letter: "I want to collaborate with someone like Miss Ding once. Is there a chance? I want to answer, yes."
"Okay, Yuyan has made her choice," the female host looked at the guests' expressions and asked, "So, who is this guest? Anyone claiming it?"
"It's me." Bai Yunquan pushed up his glasses and smiled at Ding Yuyan, "Thank you for choosing me, Miss Ding."
"My pleasure, Screenwriter Bai." Ding Yuyan gave a professional smile, "But may I ask, is Screenwriter Bai serious about discussing collaboration with me? Could it be that I fit a certain script well?"
"To be honest, not yet, but I hope there will be. But please don't misunderstand, Miss Ding," Bai Yunquan said seriously, "Actually, my sister really likes Miss Ding, so I took the liberty of extending this invitation."
"Oh, I see." Ding Yuyan nodded in understanding.
The director in the observation room: No! I don't understand! Why don't you two date! In a romance show, the one most likely to win the beauty's heart is actually a Qiuqiu who doesn't understand romance?
"Next, let's have our Brother Meng announce his choice."
Meng Wuzhong scratched his head, looked at Wu Shenfeng, and said, "This letter of mine, it was written by Xiao Wu, right? After all, that sneaky, shifty style is very much yours."
"It's me," Wu Shenfeng was a bit nervous, but he really didn't want to gamble on that tiny possibility, nor did he want to team up with Jiang Lihe again. So he asked expectantly, "Brother Meng, can we go out and play together today?"
"Yes." Meng Wuzhong nodded. As a fellow victim of being Jiang Lihe's teammate, he could very well understand Wu Shenfeng's feelings.
Thus, Meng Wuzhong read Wu Shenfeng's letter, indicating his agreement to team up. The two victims formed an alliance, becoming the second locked dating pair.
"What is Siwen's choice?" The female host looked at Ming Siwen.
Ding Yuyan was a little nervous. After all, Ming Siwen had put one letter away, clearly choosing the other. If that letter was hers, it would be a bit awkward. Now she could only pray that Ming Siwen wouldn't choose her.
"Although I should read the letter first," Ming Siwen looked at Zhou Linwan, "I think Brother Meng's method just now was very good, asking for the other person's opinion first, which is better. So I plan to learn from Brother Meng."
She paused and said, "Miss Zhou, I'd like to invite you for coffee. Are you willing?"
"I am willing!" Zhou Linwan nodded, taking out the letter she had pressed down, "This letter was written by Miss Ming, right? Does this mean..."
"Yes," Ming Siwen nodded, her expression gentle, "You can call me Siwen."
This mutual attraction made the bullet comments explode with excitement, and the director in the observation room finally nodded with relief, seemingly seeing a glimmer of a romance show.
【Ahhhhhh, I'm melting, I'm melting, Sister Qin, you're so delicate and gentle】
【Wuwuwu, Sister Qiu is so charming, how can she be so direct and call someone 'sweetheart'~ Not honest, she has bad intentions towards Sister Qin 】
【Please, Sea King Qiu, can you use writing when you chat with Qin Qingshang in the future? As long as you don't speak, I think you'll quickly have a wife, kids, and a warm bed】
【Although, her English sounds so charming!】
【Sister Qiu, she said she likes it so much, besides blushing, can't you make a move?】
【Hehehe, she's blushing, she's shy, Sister Qin is awesome, she can make the Sea King settle down and get shy】
【A pure and seductive cat-like girlfriend, who wouldn't love that!】
After the pairing segment ended, the production team called the guests into separate rooms to assign today's dating missions.
As soon as Tao Qiuyun walked into the room, a staff member handed her a small red box.
"It's like this, Teacher Qiu, you know today is a simulated date between couples, right?" The staff member asked tentatively first, and seeing her nod, continued, "Today your mission is to make your girlfriend happy and propose to her at the end."
Hearing the word "propose," Tao Qiuyun was startled and looked at the small box in her hand, "So this is?"
"An engagement ring."
It was the expected answer, but it made the woman lower her eyes.
Propose...
Right, there should be a ring, an engagement ring, a wedding ring.
How did she propose to Qin Qingshang back then?
She called her to a restaurant, gave her a paternity test, and then asked her to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married.
What did she give Qin Qingshang? A marriage agreement, a divorce guarantee, and then? Nothing else, just a rushed marriage certificate.
No flowers, no ring, nothing at all, not even a single vow. But that's right, they got married entirely because of the sudden appearance of Tao Aiqin, not because of love...
This was a contract, a contract for only one year.
Tao Qiuyun clenched her fists.
So, in Qin Qingshang's eyes, was this marriage a chain she used to bind her, to become the child's mother? Her starting point was wrong from the beginning.
Such a marriage couldn't give Qin Qingshang a sense of security. And she was so careless that she even forgot the ring. Qin Qingshang would definitely think she was just being perfunctory, trying to give Qinqin a fake complete family.
She didn't want to divorce, imprisoning Qin Qingshang in the name of love, in the name of the child. What if Qin Qingshang really wanted a divorce? What if she wouldn't like her? How terrible would she be, clinging on and not keeping her promise?
Even if she confessed now, how could she prove that she truly loved her, and wasn't just trying to continue this contractual marriage?
How could she prove the authenticity of her feelings?
Perhaps the only way was divorce...
"Qiuqiu?" The staff member called out to her, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Tao Qiuyun opened the small box, stared at the small diamond on it, and frowned, "This is fake, right?"
"Uh, yes, it is. After all, we're just pretending, it's a prop," the staff member explained.
Closing the lid of the small box, Tao Qiuyun placed the prop diamond ring on the table, "Genuine feelings shouldn't be tainted with falsehoods."
The woman's eyes were deep, "I don't need a diamond to propose."
"Then, what will you use?" The staff member was curious.
"I will use a grass ring, given with sincerity." She said seriously.
Staff member: ...Ah, this.
The director in the observation room was fired up. Several staff members quickly stepped forward to hold him back, "Director! Calm down! Calm down!"
"How the hell can I calm down! This person! I can't stand it! Can she get any more ridiculous? What era is this? A grass ring!"
"Director, honestly, are you actually a fan of Qin Qingshang? Are you?"
"No! I'm not! I just feel bad for Qin Qingshang falling for someone like this! This is ruining the reputation of our romance show!"
The assistant director was calm and composed, "Learn from me, just accept it. From the moment Qiuqiu sent out that rose, 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 changed its flavor."
"Ahhhhh! I can't take it anymore! I want to slap this..."
Fortunately, to maintain suspense, the production team didn't live stream the mission assignment segment. Otherwise, the director wouldn't be the only one devastated by Tao Qiuyun's words.
【It's so shippable! Sister Qiu and Sister Qin look so good together even just shopping, as expected, beauties look good in anything】
【Basically, wherever Qin Qingshang wants to go, they go! As expected, as long as Sister Qiu doesn't speak, it's heaven for CP fans】
【Hehehe, they were just discussing where to eat dinner. I already have a premonition that the evening is the main course for the QiuQing CP】
【What? Are you saying the beef noodles at noon, the scene where Sister Qin got burned, wasn't sweet enough?!】
【Wuwuwu, helping check if her tongue was blistered was so suggestive, so hot! Sister Qiu! How did you hold back?】
【Although, I suspect Sister Qin did it on purpose, how could it be that hot】
【What? Can't we allow our Sister Qin to have a cat tongue? (Dog head for self-preservation)】
【Stop chatting, they went to a flower shop!】
"Hello, welcome!" The florist was very enthusiastic, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, red roses are buy one get one free! Would you two like to take a look?"
"Why are red roses buy one get one free on Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qin Qingshang was puzzled.
"Because many couples are dating today, and everyone says they want to enjoy the moon together~" The saleslady was very savvy, "You two look very much in love, would you like to buy roses? We have a discount if you buy 20."
"What does Qiuqiu want?" The cat blinked, hugging her arm, "What flower do you want to give me?"
"See what you like," Tao Qiuyun smiled and held her wrist, gently removing her hand, then turned to the saleslady, "She'll look first. Can you chat with me over there?"
Qin Qingshang, whose hand was gently pushed away, was particularly shocked, looking hurt and wronged, "Qiuqiu, is there something I can't hear?"
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun nodded, and quickly added when the cat glared at her, "I want to give you a surprise. Can I keep it a secret for now?"
"Okay, you should have said so earlier. I won't peek." The cat's fur was instantly smoothed.
Seeing the woman's back as she went to examine the flowers and plants, Tao Qiuyun tapped her miniature camera, signaling it to follow Qin Qingshang, then turned off her microphone and began talking to the staff member beside her.
"Can you recommend something?" Tao Qiuyun looked at the girl beside her.
"Hmm, what kind of flower do you want? Roses to express love or..."
"What flower should I give her when a wish is fulfilled?"
"Lilies? They mean 'wishes come true'."
"Not specific enough," Tao Qiuyun lowered her eyes, "Like, for example... I'm married to her, but I can't let her know I love her. Not only that, I must divorce her. In this situation, what flower should I give?"
"Ah? Aren't you two a couple?" The saleslady was very surprised. She thought for a few seconds and said, "Do you know about the Forget-Me-Not? It means 'heart follows feelings,' hinting that you should listen to your inner voice and not easily give up on your loved one because of other things. Perhaps, it would suit you? I'm sorry, maybe I'm being nosy, but..."
She looked at Qin Qingshang over there, who was happily sniffing the flowers, "She looks like she loves you very much, and her current happiness is genuine. She definitely doesn't want to be abandoned by her loved one for no reason. If you have any problems, you can talk openly. You need to communicate more, don't miss each other because of misunderstandings and leave yourselves with regrets."
Hearing this, Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips...
Did she really want a divorce? Yes, when she realized she couldn't prove her love for Qin Qingshang before, she thought about divorcing first and then pursuing her.
But thinking calmly now, wasn't that thought disrespectful to Qin Qingshang? They had clearly agreed not to entangle after the divorce.
Perhaps, they should find time to have a good talk about this agreement.
This lady was right, love requires communication, it requires both parties to work on it. She shouldn't make decisions on her own.
"It really suits me," Tao Qiuyun nodded, smiling, "I'd like to buy one and weave it into a ring. Can you provide me with a discreet space?"
"Okay," the saleslady smiled brightly, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you both. I hope to see you again next Mid-Autumn Festival or Valentine's Day."
"If we are still a couple next year," Tao Qiuyun nodded in agreement, "I will come."
If this saleslady hadn't reminded her, she might have truly walked into a dead end.
"Qiuqiu!" Qin Qingshang jogged over, turned off her microphone, leaned close to her, and whispered, "Seeing the greeting cards at the counter, I just remembered something very, very important."
"What is it?" Tao Qiuyun was puzzled.
"Qiuqiu~" The cat leaned on her shoulder, close to her ear, and whispered, "Besides wishing you a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, there's another thing..."
"Happy Birthday!"
The woman's warm breath brought a heat to her body. When she turned her head and met those clear eyes, Tao Qiuyun's breathing quickened. For the first time, she actively reached out and hugged her. Her lips brushed Qin Qingshang's neck unintentionally, and her mouth was close to her ear:
"Thank you, Qingshang... But how did you know today is my birthday?"
Qiu Yun, Tao Shizhou gave her this name because she was born on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"I'm your legal wife, okay~" The cat said proudly, "I've seen your household registration book and ID card. You kept mentioning Mid-Autumn Festival, and I just remembered when I saw the date and birthday wishes on the greeting card. Hehe, aren't I amazing?"
"Amazing, very amazing." Tao Qiuyun hugged her tighter.
You treat me like this, how can I bear to divorce?
Soft jade and warm fragrance, no one would not linger, and Tao Qiuyun was no exception. After all, she was also a mortal, with emotions and desires. Under the great emotional ups and downs, it was even harder for a person to hide their deepest feelings.
She didn't want to divorce Qin Qingshang. Now, Qin Qingshang's show of affection felt like a signal, making her desperately hidden desires constantly rise. Coupled with being on a romance show platform, she was very afraid that she would become increasingly demanding.
She was afraid that in this environment, she would become more and more inseparable from Qin Qingshang. Just this kind of hug was enough to make her...
The woman's hand unconsciously tightened around Qin Qingshang's slender, soft waist.
Deep affection and longing, unable to control oneself.
