Chapter 8: Dating Show Filming 7

The director instructed everyone to play a game of Truth or Dare. The content for both truths and dares had already been prepared by the production team and placed into two separate pen holders. The game involved spinning a bottle; whoever the bottle pointed to had to either answer a truth or choose a dare. Those who refused would be subject to a penalty decided by the previous guest. The production team had even prepared a lie detector to ensure the guests were being truthful.

Nangong Hengmo spun the bottle, and after a few rotations, it stopped, pointing directly at Li Wenya.

"I choose truth."

Once Li Wenya placed her hand on the lie detector, Nangong Hengmo drew a slip of paper from the truth holder: "When was your first love?"

"At twenty. We dated for a month and then broke up because my boyfriend cheated on me with a wealthy woman," Li Wenya replied calmly. Her fans already knew this story.

After Li Wenya finished speaking, the lie detector lit up green, confirming she was telling the truth. Li Wenya then spun the bottle, and it pointed to Zhuo Han.

"I choose dare."

Li Wenya drew a slip from the dare container. Upon reading it, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She gave a light cough and said, "Face the person to your left, look them directly in the eyes, and say, 'You look truly delicious.'"

To Zhuo Han's left was Fang You.

*(Damn it, why didn't it land on the right? Meng Yuan is on the right,)* Zhuo Han thought.

Zhuo Han stood face-to-face with Fang You. *(Actually, this Fang You is quite handsome,)* she mused.

Putting on an embarrassed expression, Zhuo Han said in a coy voice, "You look truly delicious."

Fang You, also possessing a flair for performance, pretended to be too shy to meet her gaze.

Nan Chu thought to herself: *They are truly actors; they really know how to put on a show!*

Zhuo Han spun the bottle, and it landed on Jiang Han, who chose a dare. Zhuo Han drew a slip and read: "Interlock fingers with the person to your right and maintain eye contact for one minute."

Jiang Han looked directly at Nan Chu and asked in a low voice with a faint smile, "May I hold your hand?"

Nan Chu extended her slender hand, and their fingers interlocked. Jiang Han stared deep into her eyes, as if trying to see right through her. When the minute finally passed, Nan Chu quickly pulled her hand away.

Jiang Han spun the bottle, and it landed on Nan Chu. Nan Chu chose truth.

"How many relationships have you been in?"

"None," Nan Chu replied. The lie detector lit up green.

This stunned both the guests and the viewers watching the live stream.

【What the heck? Nan Chu has never been in a relationship? Does this mean some of the online rumors are fake?】
【To the person above, not dating doesn't mean she hasn't slept around. Sleeping with someone doesn't require love.】
【Maybe the production team used a broken lie detector for the sake of the show.】

But the audience did not expect to be proven wrong the very next moment.

Nan Chu spun the bottle, and it landed on Fang You. Fang You initially wanted to choose a dare, but since Xu Fei and Zhuo Han were sitting next to him—and he had no interest in either—he chose truth instead.

Seeing the question she had drawn, Nan Chu curled her lips into a smile. "What is the maximum number of people you have dated at the same time?"

"One," Fang You answered. The lie detector immediately turned red, and Fang You was shocked by an electric pulse. "Ah—!" he cried out in pain, shaking the device off his hand.

【Fang You lied!】
【Whoa, looks like he has dated two people at once. What a cheater!】
【Is Fang You keeping a fish pond?】
【To the person earlier who said the lie detector was broken, why aren't you saying anything now?】
【Tsk, exposed. This guy surnamed Fang has issues. He didn't expect the production team to be playing for real.】

"Since Brother Fang failed to complete the task, he must accept the penalty," Nan Chu said. "Thirty push-ups."

Fang You performed the push-ups. When he finished, his hands were trembling slightly. He spun the bottle, and it landed on Nan Chu again. Nan Chu once again chose truth.

"Where did your first kiss happen?"

"I don't know," Nan Chu replied, and the lie detector lit up green.

Fang You spoke up, "How can you not know? There must be something wrong with this machine."

Jiang Han interjected, "Is it possible that because Nan Chu's first kiss hasn't happened yet, she doesn't know where it will occur?"

Nan Chu nodded slightly.

All the guests, and even the production crew, turned in unison to look at Nan Chu, their eyes filled with disbelief.

【My goodness, does a girl like this still exist in the world? She's in her twenties and her first kiss is still intact! Some kids in kindergarten have already had their first kiss.】
【Shocking!】
【I never expected Nan Chu to be so pure.】
【Mind-blowing.】
【Doesn't Nan Chu have a wealthy patron? She must be here to clean up her image and set up a persona.】
【It's just a persona. A twenty-three-year-old with her first kiss intact? Who are they kidding?】
【It's all scripted.】
……
【I just searched it—Nan Chu has never filmed a kiss scene. Her first kiss really is still there!】
【Then the online rumors about her being a mistress and having a child must be fake.】
【I knew it! Our Chu Chu isn't the kind of person those rumors suggested.】
【The internet is full of trolls and keyboard warriors who slander people at will. For a while, Chu Chu looked exhausted and mentally drained because of all those trolls making up false stories.】

Li Wenya couldn't help but ask, "Nan Chu, do you not like men? You're so beautiful, how have you never dated or kissed anyone?"

"I just haven't met anyone," Nan Chu replied. In the Infinite World, she never had the time for romance. As for the original Nan Chu, she had been busy with her studies, and once she graduated, she signed with an entertainment company and worked tirelessly. She, too, had no time for love.

Li Wenya said, "Nan Chu, I have good friends who are great people. I can introduce you to some."

"Why would you need to introduce anyone? Isn't this show for making friends? Are we male guests not good enough?" Jiang Han asked.

Si Junyan chimed in, "With a CEO, a doctor, a Best Actor, and an actor among us, we should be decent options. You're bound to find someone you like."

Nan Chu said nothing, simply standing up to spin the bottle. It landed on Fang You again. This time, Fang You chose a dare. Nan Chu felt a bit disappointed; she had hoped to see him answer another truth.

She drew a random slip. "Please open your phone gallery and show the eleventh photo to the audience."

*(Damn it! Why is it this kind of dare?)* Fang You cursed inwardly, but said with a flat tone, "I accept the penalty."

【Why is Fang You afraid to show the photo? Is there something in there that we VIPs aren't allowed to see?】
【Maybe it's a photo with a woman, which is why he's scared to show it.】
【Tsk, this male star surnamed F seems to have major issues.】
【I strongly request the production team to show it to us.】
【It's definitely an incriminating photo.】

"Fifty push-ups," Nan Chu said.

*(Fifty? This bitch is trying to see me make a fool of myself. She's truly malicious,)* Fang You thought. *(Once the show ends, I'll find someone to deal with her properly.)*

Amidst Fang You's silent curses, Nan Chu sat to the side, her expression unchanged. *If he can't even finish fifty push-ups, this guy really is quite weak,* she thought to herself.
