Chapter 49 The Child Actor Under Cyberattack

The final episode of the program aired, and the three performance pieces not only elicited cheers from the live audience but also left viewers online wanting more.

As a result, when the three guest groups joined hands to bow and thank the audience, the thunderous applause continued for a long time. Some audience members were already fans of the guests and were pleasantly surprised to see them perform, having bought tickets for other shows. When the camera crew panned over them, they were visibly moved to tears.

The scene then shifted back to the "Love Nest" villa arranged by the production team, where everyone gathered for the last time.

"Dear guests, our show is about to conclude. As 'Let's Fall in Love' is a dating reality show, it naturally needs to return to the theme of love. After more than three months of filming and interaction, I believe you have all identified your preferred partners." Director Zhou looked at the guests, recalling the moments they had shared. "The final segment involves each of you using the provided phone booths to call your chosen person and express your affection. However, the guest receiving the call should not respond immediately. You will mutually agree on a meeting place. If both parties agree, you will meet there; otherwise, this recording will conclude."

Upon understanding the instructions, the guests returned to their respective rooms to pack, awaiting their turn to make calls.

...

Amidst the lively discussion in the comments, the production team began calling Wei Yizhou to prepare. He walked into the "phone booth" and without hesitation, dialed Wei Yutong.

"Hello, Yutong, it's Yizhou."

"Yes, I recognize your voice."

"Um... I wanted to say that I've really enjoyed our time together. You laugh at all my jokes, and sometimes I even feel like you can read my mind." Wei Yizhou smiled faintly as he reminisced. "Although the show was short, the feelings are real. I want to get to know you better. If you feel the same way, could we meet tomorrow at 11 AM at the recording studio where we first met?"

"Yes, I understand." Wei Yutong replied gently, a smile on her lips.

...

The second person called to the "phone booth" was Ding Xiang. She hesitated for a long time before finally choosing to call Situ Chen.

"Shixiong, it's Ding Xiang."

"Yes." Situ Chen looked expressionless on camera.

"I'm really happy to have been on this show with you; you've always been my idol." Ding Xiang nervously twisted the phone cord and said shyly, "The last time we filmed together, and now we're on a variety show, I truly feel this is a special connection. So, I've gathered my courage to tell you that I'd like to meet you tomorrow at 11 AM at the café outside our villa."

"Mm, are you done?"

"Uh... yes."

Ding Xiang felt that his reaction was a bit off, but before she could ask further, Situ Chen had already hung up the phone.

...

The third person to make a call was Kong Yunshan. He also hesitated at the "phone booth" door for a while before finally choosing to call Ding Xiang.

"Hello, Ding Xiang, it's Yunshan."

"Mm." Ding Xiang had already anticipated that Kong Yunshan might call, and while she was happy he did, she also felt conflicted.

"We've partnered the most times on this show. Although we haven't known each other for long, from small details, I can see you're a very kind girl, and we've worked quite well together. However, according to the program rules, we can't keep contact information for other guests. So, I'd like to add you on 'Weishu' to get to know each other better. How about we meet tomorrow at 11 AM at the café where you first appeared?"

"...Mm." Ding Xiang felt a bit apologetic. She had already agreed to meet Situ Chen at a different café at that time tomorrow, so she knew she would have to disappoint Kong Yunshan.

...

The fourth person called down was Situ Chen. He had previously asked Director Zhou if he had to make the call regardless of whether he had a preferred partner. Upon arriving, he immediately told the staff he wanted to call Su Ling.

"Hello, Su Ling, it's Situ Chen."

"Oh, hello, Chen Ge." Xiao Wenqiang was somewhat surprised to receive his call.

"Mm, hello!"

"So, do you have something you want to tell me?" Xiao Wenqiang waited for a long time without anyone speaking, so she had to speak up.

"I just wanted to say that your lotus root and pork rib soup is delicious, and your acting is also very good. Keep up the good work!"

"Mm, thank you..."

"I enjoyed spending time with you, but it hasn't reached that level yet, so I won't be asking you out. We have each other's contact information, so we can stay in touch privately."

"Okay."

This pair also ended their call quickly.

...

The fifth person to make a call was Wei Yutong. As soon as she arrived, she chose to call Wei Yizhou directly.

"Hello, Yizhou, it's Yutong."

"Great, Yutong, I've been waiting for your call!"

"Mm-hmm, I also want to say that working with you on the show has been very harmonious and enjoyable, so I'll see you at the recording studio tomorrow!"

"Mm-hmm, see you tomorrow!"

This pair experienced mutual affection, so the staff did not stop them from giving such clear responses to each other.
