You Guys Wouldn’t Have Taken My Casual Acting Seriously, Right Chapter 9

Who else could the female guest in front of the flower shop be if not Shen Fu?

As soon as the camera shifted, the barrage instantly decided it could only be her.

Which other female celebrity would casually choose a flower shop as a background?

Not afraid of being drowned out by the springtime splendor?

But there she stood, black hair, red lips, pale wrists, snow-white skin, red straps wrapping her slender ankles, literally glowing.

Shen Fu rarely wore dresses. Even on red carpets, she mostly opted for understated strapless pants.

Rarity makes her precious; even haters secretly took screenshots.

It was infuriating.

Her looks were debatable, but in every “leg battle,” “hand battle,” “back view battle,” Shen Fu had never lost.

Even the back of her head was more beautiful than others, a template for countless cosmetic bloggers.

Is there no justice left in this world?

Three minutes of stunned silence later, someone in the barrage finally reacted: 【So… it’s Shen Fu? LOL, that pair of ankles everyone hyped earlier is hers.】

【Ahhhhh nooo】 The barrage instantly wailed: 【Why the h*ll did my Ge choose Shen Fu?!】

Some of Chu Wei’s impatient fans immediately started cursing: 【Either his brain is rusty or he’s lost it! If this continues, I’m unfollowing.】

【Are you sick? Love her or not, don’t think you can dictate his choice. Who do you think you are?】

【Everyone calm down, remember, our Ge is sentimental. He probably saw that no one would pick Shen Fu and didn’t want to see her embarrassed, so he drove over calmly, no rush at all.】

【Such a kind Ge and you’re still hating? Ridiculous.】

The barrage exploded. Some Chu Wei fans, to prevent losing more followers, tearfully started praising Shen Fu: 【Choosing Shen Fu isn’t bad, at least she’s beautiful. Xu Tiaotiao is so fussy and dramatic.】

Xu Tiaotiao’s fans quickly retaliated, and the barrage soon descended into chaos.

【Hahaha my focus is on D, what’s up with him? Driving sixty kilometers just to make it here?】

【Who said he hates Shen Fu and kicked her out of the house? If that’s not true, come see me, I’ll beat you up.】

As the head of the support group, Rong Xiaozhen was too busy to even watch the livestream.

“Once the camera switches to our side, quickly start posting ‘no one picks, fine, I, Fu, shine alone.’ Remember to change tone, best to act like a bystander and add a few comments…”

Before the words were even finished, the group chat suddenly was brushed over a hundred messages.

“Wait no, Sister Rong, hurry and look at the livestream, someone chose someone chose, the one in the green dress is ours.”

Rong Xiaozhen suddenly froze.

She hurriedly closed all the notification windows covering her computer screen and switched to the livestream.

Just as she was about to get excited, she saw someone say: 【Have you guys watched too few dating shows? The first choice doesn’t represent liking, a lot of times it’s just a polite formality, okay? Allow me to reveal the truth: these two people both knew Shen Fu from before, they’re old acquaintances, they probably both thought that besides themselves no one would choose Shen Fu, so they politely drove over, that’s all.】

Is that so?

Rong Xiaozhen’s excited heart instantly cooled by more than half.

Right now it was separate livestreams, the other three locations were also broadcasting. Super VIPs could freely switch cameras, but aside from the hardcore fans of those other couples, practically every other viewer had flooded into this one, causing the livestream to lag.

At the other three locations it was either one choosing one, or no one choosing and the result already set. How could those compare to this thrilling two-choose-one here?

Not only did the viewers not expect this situation, Chu Wei also never imagined that a two-choose-one bloodbath would actually land on him.

What was Jiang Shu here for?

Don’t tell him Jiang Shu also had interest in Shen Fu.

Could it be that because he was gloating before they departed, Jiang Shu held a grudge? And now was dead set on going against him?

Chu Wei secretly glanced at Jiang Shu’s flashy Land Rover, then at his own cheap little Benz, forcing himself to maintain a stiff smile.

If he’d known, he would’ve made the company give him a million-yuan car before coming.

“It’s time for the female guest to choose. Do the two male guests want to fight for themselves?” The filming crew knew this was a golden moment and hurried to follow with excited cameras.

Chu Wei was just about to lower his window when the sound of a car door closing rang out. Jiang Shu had gotten out of the car. His expression was hidden under deep-blue sunglasses. He raised a hand toward Shen Fu ahead of him: “What are you dazing for? Get over here.”

Shen Fu: ?

The barrage was dying of laughter: 【D can you f**king talk properly? Is this inviting a girl or asking someone to come fight you?】

【Hahaha Shen Fu’s face went completely dark.】

Good lord, he actually made the first move.

Chu Wei also hurriedly got out of the car, copying him.

He held the not-yet-closed car door and showed Shen Fu a shy smile: “Shen Fu, my car door opens for you.”

“……” Shen Fu was struck speechless.

The barrage was also struck speechless.

【Help what’s wrong with my Ge?】

Copycat.

Jiang Shu was about to explode.

Chu Wei also didn’t expect he’d say something that cringe, he was simply too nervous.

But back when they were together, Shen Fu had said she liked his youthful air. She should still like that now, right?

Shen Fu had come by bus; she still hadn’t recovered from carsickness, so she hadn’t spoken at all.

She was at the center of the storm and naturally had her own considerations.

The program gave each female guest who successfully entered a date a hidden mission. While waiting at the flower shop door earlier, Shen Fu had glanced at the text the crew sent her.

The hidden mission was complicated, requiring her to make the male guest, without being told such a mission existed, buy seven or eight items, including glutinous rice cakes from downtown, pancakes from the Marriott building, and other foods, plus some inexplicable digestive medicine.

Completing the mission earned separate points for the female guest.

Points were money once the show ended.

Would Jiang Shu, with that dog temper of his, buy those things for her? He might throw her aside after glaring once.

Would choosing Chu Wei give her a higher chance of completing the mission?

Chu Wei may be indecisive, but patience was one of his strengths.

The filming crew kept pushing the process: “Looks like the female guest hasn’t made a decision yet. Why don’t the two male guests each state why the female guest should choose you? You can talk about your strengths.”

【Hahaha the crew really knows how to play, look at the crown prince’s shifting expressions.】

【D: Is this reasonable? How could anyone not want to date me?】

【Holy sh*t the person above, you sound exactly like Jiang Shu. Reasonably suspect that this is exactly the prince’s inner voice right now.】

At this kind of bloodbath stage, casual viewers who loved dating shows clearly overshadowed the fans. The barrage was full of discussion about the plot; for once, fans had no room to fight.

Although most Chu Wei fans hated Shen Fu, right now stopping Shen Fu-bashing was more important, their Ge couldn’t lose.

【What do you mean, can’t Shen Fu choose my Ge? Is your crown prince the only handsome rich man in the world who everyone should fall for?】

【Shen Fu obviously prefers my Ge, her eyes stay on him longer.】

Fans of Jiang Shu also chimed in: 【Are you Chu Wei fans blind?】

【Crown Prince fans GTFO, should we record the screen and count Shen Fu’s gaze seconds?】

“Chu Wei fans’ face-turning technique is on par with Sichuan opera.” Someone in Rong Xiaozhen’s group complained.

Playing awkward, are we?

Jiang Shu shot a vicious glare at the filming crew perched on the car roof.

Her chances of choosing him were already low, and now they were giving Chu Wei even more opportunity?

Was the crew allergic to money?

Seeing Shen Fu look over, Jiang Shu clenched his fist, then unnaturally said coldly, “Don’t hesitate, pick whoever you want, doesn’t matter. If you pick the one next to me, I can even get a day off.”

Shen Fu: ?

Shen Fu immediately grabbed her bag and walked toward Chu Wei.

Chu Wei lit up.

Jiang Shu:????

“Wait.” Jiang Shu said angrily, “The female guest probably didn’t hear clearly just now, I’ll restate.”

The barrage was dying: 【Act cool, get struck by lightning.】

“My turn, right?” Chu Wei smiled and said, “I don’t know what today’s date will be, but I believe I’m fully prepared. Shen Fu, I trust I can give you a perfect experience.”

He even wanted to applaud himself, if she still didn’t choose him, what was she waiting for?

Jiang Shu’s expression under the sunglasses shifted unpredictably.

Seeing that he still had something to say, Shen Fu leisurely stopped and waited for him, then heard Jiang Shu squeeze out from between his molars after a long moment: “My car is good.”

Shen Fu: “……”

Jiang Shu: “I drive faster.”

Shen Fu: “……”

Jiang Shu thought for a moment, then added: “If not looking at the car, looking at the face, you should still choose me.”

Shen Fu: “……”

【I’m dying, please refer to a certain man wearing blue sunglasses for anti-techniques in chasing girls.】

Shen Fu was speechless and said inwardly to the system: “Can we negotiate a little, let me swap the fourth capture target for someone else. Look at him, does he look like someone who has enlightened? Even lotus roots have enlightened before he has.”

Hearing that line, Chu Wei immediately felt that he was steady.

He walked two steps toward the front of the car, already prepared to open the passenger door for Shen Fu.

【Never would’ve thought the first date would actually end up being Shen Fu and Chu Wei.】

【Spring outing together, cooking dinner together, are these two going to reunite after breaking up?】

“Wait a minute.” Jiang Shu finally couldn’t hold back. He took off his sunglasses and hooked them on his collar, saying gloomily: “You’re the only one who prepared something? I also prepared something.”

He walked to the trunk and pulled out a huge kraft paper bag.

Then he took a smaller paper bag out of the big one, his voice low and slightly awkward: “Shen Fu, come here.”

【It’s the stuff the crown prince brought back to the villa yesterday. What’s inside?】

【Holy sh*t I’m so curious, camera hurry and move over.】

【Could it be a black card? D: Woman, you cannot escape the palm of my hand.】

【Hahahaha the person above is killing me.】

Shen Fu hesitated, then walked over to take a look.

The viewers only saw Shen Fu take the paper bag, her expression freezing for a moment.

Then she looked up at Jiang Shu.

The next second, she got into Jiang Shu’s car.

Chu Wei, who was still standing in front of the passenger door: ?

Barrage: 【?】

Jiang Shu put his sunglasses back on, the corner of his lips lifting slightly, giving Chu Wei a glance.

Jiang Shu’s car sped off before the barrage even reacted.

【Holy sh*t??? Don’t do this, what is it? What is it that us noble VIPs aren’t allowed to see??】

For a moment, no one even remembered to scold Shen Fu. Everyone was scratching their hearts wanting to know what would happen next.

You guys wouldn’t have taken my casual acting seriously, right

Status: Ongoing
New summary: Before the dating variety show started, among all the female guests only the least-experienced Shen Fu was mocked online: “Whether it’s Film Emperor Wen Zhenghan or whoever, no one would want to get involved with some vase-tier eighteenth-line like her.” After the show started, netizens beat their chests, held their heads, wailing. Aaaaaaaa what the h*ll is this!! All! of! them! are! simps!!! Old summary: “Shen Fu is nothing more than someone else’s shadow.” Not only was this what the industry said, even Film Emperor Wen Zhenghan himself thought so. So when Shen Fu proposed breaking up, the man flicked his cigarette ash, his always-indifferent face showing no ripples: “Since you’re a stand-in, then have the self-awareness of a stand-in, don’t play that ‘push-and-pull hard-to-get’ set. When you figure it out and come back, I won’t give you a second chance.” She didn’t come back for an entire month. Until they ended up on the same dating show. “Film Emperor, Miss Shen she…” Wen Zhenghan flicked ash, cold laugh: “What, she finally knows to come back?” “No, not only did she not return, but the investigation revealed that, besides acting as a stand-in in front of you, she was juggling multiple roles at the same time and had successfully won over both a billionaire top celebrity and a hugely popular idol.” “The top streamer and idol are the two male guests living next door to you.” Before the dating show started, among the female guests only the least-experienced Shen Fu was mocked online: “Whether it’s Film Emperor Wen Zhenghan or whoever, no one would want to get involved with some vase eighteenth-line like her.” Who knew that after the program began, the Film Emperor’s gaze toward Shen Fu became dark and unreadable, the top streamer’s silent gaze toward her was a hidden undercurrent, and the popular idol’s eyes toward her were full of things left unsaid. Male Guests A/B/C (Film Emperor / Top Streamer / Idol) repeatedly entered asura field. Kitchen, living room, garden tour bus all becoming their smoke-filled battlegrounds. Every one of them seemed to have some unspeakable secret past with Shen Fu. Netizens: ??? As for the handsome and wealthy CEO of a listed corporation, Male Guest D, name Jiang Shu, surely he can’t also have feelings for Shen Fu?! Netizens quickly dug up that Shen Fu and the Jiang family’s eldest young master had once had a connection. When she was young, she stayed for a while at the Jiang household, an old family friend of the Shen family, yet was kicked out by that famously cold, abstinent eldest young master. Black fans went all-in mocking that someone like Jiang Shu, a heaven’s favored child, would definitely look down on a female star from humble origins like Shen Fu. However, one day in a show segment, Jiang Shu accidentally drank red wine thinking it was sparkling water, and besides the clip of him being a one-cup-down lightweight going viral, another thing leaked: a human-early-era “pursuing-wife” video. “Back in school she only gave me one hundred yuan pocket money a week—” his handsome face showed distress: “I’m at least the Jiang family’s eldest young master, isn’t this intentionally making me lose face?” Bullet comments surged with excitement: Young Master Jiang publicly disses Shen Fu! Now Shen Fu will be embarrassed! His friend nodded in agreement: “Yeah that really won’t do, if it were me I’d also kick Shen Fu out—” But before the friend finished speaking, Jiang Shu grabbed his collar: “Can you f***ing speak human words? Back then she suddenly ran away because you stirred up trouble between us right?!” Friend: … Netizens: … Friend calmly: “Actually I think—” “I also think so.” The eldest young master’s handsome face suddenly flushed red, he plopped back onto the sofa, melancholy: “Back then— (censored) could it be that she actually didn’t hate me that much?” Friend: ? I didn’t even say anything yet! Netizens scratching heads: ??? What the h*ll is in that censored bit? What is it that we, the esteemed VIP users, can’t hear?! Rewatching earlier episodes, they found that when Shen Fu greeted others, the eldest young master wearing sunglasses dragged his luggage to forcefully insert himself. When Shen Fu talked to others, the eldest young master’s hand washing dishes tightened slightly. When another male guest showed off the birthday present Shen Fu gave him, the eldest young master had green-tea lines: “What a coincidence, from age fifteen to eighteen I also received them, seems like each one was bigger than yours.” Those who thought they came to watch childhood sweethearts break apart raised torches overnight. Those who came to watch Shen Fu get scolded by the entire internet fell into despair, fleeing this heartbreaking world overnight. The real shippers: f***ing h*ll, stinky couple, go get your marriage certificate. —— 【Female lead POV:】 To exchange for her parents’ lives, Shen Fu bound the “Love With” system. After competing the missions for the four specified targets, she could retrieve 100% of their lifeforce. Jiang Shu was the fourth. Before going on the show, Shen Fu went dark before her eyes: the other three being exes was one thing, but why is Jiang Shu also here? We’ve been mutually annoyed with each other since youth, the more we look, the more we dislike. Him liking me is absolutely impossible, this difficulty is h*ll-level! System old-man-style smoking: woman, living isn’t that easy. After the program ended, the human-early-era “pursuing-wife” video was sent to Shen Fu. Shen Fu looked toward the door of the neighbor who had always lived next door to her but never once showed his face: hmm? The neighbor’s door opened, four eyes met, the eldest young master’s ears flushed, he immediately tripped left foot over right foot back inside, long fingers almost clawing the door panel to pieces. System: ? Is living… maybe a bit too easy? A one-sentence summary: I was acting, yet they shed blood for me. Theme: love and hope. Work brief review:  Shen Fu went on a dating variety show, unexpectedly fell into an asura field, and even ran into the eldest young master she had secretly liked when she was young, stirring up some vividly clear memories from youth. While Shen Fu worked hard to earn points, she gradually discovered that the person she secretly liked might actually like her back, the two were mutually in love, and in the end naturally got together on the dating show. Starting from asura field, ending with true heart for true heart 1v1.
