    Chapter 60 Holy Shit, Are Dating Shows This Bloody?!

    "Sweeter Journey" is a travel dating reality show.

    The concept originated from a new internet meme—the breakup curse of travel.

    Too many couples experience friction and disagreements during their trips, ultimately parting ways due to irreconcilable differences.

    The idea behind "Sweeter Journey" is to create this kind of battlefield in advance, giving the participants a chance to thoroughly understand each other and then decide if they are suitable for a relationship.

    In short, it's about breaking the curse with the curse!

    Starting off in hell mode, the show creates various troubles during the journey, leading to constant conflicts among the couples,

    whoever warms up, whoever gets torn apart, whoever knocks on doors at midnight, and who changes their crush...

    This unique perspective and genuine emotional display have made the show stand out among many others, accumulating a large base of die-hard fans. The promotional video alone garnered millions of views upon release.

    "Is this real?! They actually got Jian Li and Huo Xiao?! I'm so into them!"

    "Not only Li Xiao, but the entire cast of Lone Warriors is here?!"

    "And there's even Lu Yuanhang?! Are dating shows getting this wild now?!"

    "I can't help but start typing away! Lu Yuanhang, go to hell!"

    "Speaking of which, why isn't he mentioning his rare blood type anymore?! Has anyone checked with medical institutions?! Is he really that rare?!"

    "I don't know if he has rare panda blood, but he's definitely a rare idiot!"

    "..."

    Seeing the show trending before it even began filming, the director of "Sweeter Journey" felt like he was dreaming.

    His boss had great foresight, insisting on having these people on the dating show, saying it would definitely be a hit.

    Initially, he didn't believe it, thinking that transitioning from survival to romance was a huge leap.

    If the roles didn't fit, the show might lack the sweet vibe,

    and the audience wouldn't buy it!

    Now, it seemed his worries were unfounded.

    Who cares about the sweet vibe as long as there's buzz!

    The director was about to take a bath and go to bed when his phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced down and saw an unknown number. Hesitating for a moment, he answered, "Who is this?"

    "It's me, Lu Yuanhang!" came a drunken voice from the other end. "Didn't you say the dating show would feature me and my brother? Why are there a few more jerks involved?!"

    Upon hearing this, the director frowned.

    Lu Yuanhang was well-known in the entertainment industry,

    not because of his outstanding talent or frequent high-quality works on screen,

    but because of his arrogant personality, backed by the Lu Family's influence.

    In front of Lu Siqi, he acts like a gentle little bunny,

    behind Lu Siqi, he behaves like a brash tycoon.

    He bullies everyone and reportedly uses capital to control a group of trainees...

    Directors usually avoid such people, trying not to interact with them,

    but this time, the third princess of the Huo Family personally requested him to participate in the show...

    "Second Young Master Lu, I don't know who you're referring to as jerks, but the list has already been announced. If you have any objections, you can choose to withdraw," the director said calmly.

    This made the already angry Lu Yuanhang even more irate, "Are you trying to protect them?! Aren't you afraid I'll shut down your show?!"

    The director chuckled, "Second Young Master Lu, I'm not doubting your capabilities, but in the entire entertainment industry, who dares touch the third princess's projects? I haven't encountered anyone yet."

    "What's so great about the third princess?!" Lu Yuanhang's voice wavered. "Once my brother acquires Huo Entertainment, let's see how long she can keep jumping around."

    "We'll see," the director yawned. "Sorry, I'm about to rest. If Second Young Master Lu decides to withdraw, remember to transfer the breach fee to the company account."

    With that, he hung up.

    Still at Qing Bar, surrounded by a crowd, Lu Yuanhang threw his phone in anger.

    Someone approached to offer a toast, "Brother Hang, don't be mad, let's continue..."

    Before he could finish, Lu Yuanhang kicked him in the chest, "Get lost—"

    ———

    At eight in the morning, Jian Li reluctantly crawled out of bed, listening to Li Lin's nagging,

    "My lord! We're supposed to gather at eight-thirty, and you haven't even washed up yet! You're going to be late!"

    Jian Li rubbed his eyes, "Can I skip it?"

    As a mercenary turned entertainer, participating in a survival show was already pushing it,

    why did he suddenly get roped into a dating show?!

    It just doesn't fit!

    "Refuse and you'll have to pay!" Li Lin had also learned to threaten and entice, "Paying money is fine, but what about your brother?"

    "University requires money, marriage requires money, having kids requires even more money..."

    "Alright, alright, alright!" Jian Li waved his hand, "Stop it! You're practically summing up his whole life!"

    Li Lin gave an awkward laugh, "That's just the life of an ordinary person."

    Half an hour later, the four undercover agents arrived at the gathering hotel with expressions similar to Jian Li's.

    Apart from Huo Yingdi who hadn't arrived yet, the new guests standing in a row all exuded a collective gloom.

    During the pre-interview,

    Yuan Feng's face showed clear reluctance, "I don't want to date right now; I'm here just to make up the numbers."

    Luo Xiaohong rolled her eyes, "Who signed me up? When I find out, they're dead!"

    Shi Huayi and Zhou Nan spoke in unison, "Single for so long, who said we're schoolmates?!"

    Jian Li gestured with his hands, "Don't ask, just know it's painful!"

    The director behind the monitor, "..."

    This group of guests is a bit difficult to handle. Are they here to straighten me out?!

    I should call the previous two directors later to discuss experiences.

    Not long after, Lu Yuanhang appeared at the entrance of the gathering hotel, politely placing his hands together towards the staff, "Sorry, am I late?"

    "No, you're right on time," the staff member responded formally, "The guests are being interviewed in the lobby."

    Lu Yuanhang nodded, a fleeting look of resentment crossing his face.

    As he stepped through the automatic doors, he saw familiar yet annoying faces, immediately smiling warmly, "Hello everyone! We meet again!"

    "I'm truly happy to be filming with everyone again, "

    "Isn't this a special kind of fate?"

    Lu Yuanhang planned to learn from past mistakes and walk a path of redemption.

    After all, in a dating show, there are mutual selections, and he needed to change his image in Lu Siqi's mind...

    However, while his plan sounded good, no one at the scene was playing along,

    not even giving him a glance, as if he didn't exist.

    Lu Yuanhang's smile froze on his face, and after a long pause, he addressed the camera by himself, "Due to the team competition before, there might have been some misunderstandings. I hope this episode can clear them up..."

    Before he could finish, a figure suddenly rushed out and splashed a bucket of unknown liquid over Lu Yuanhang,

    a shocking shade of fresh red,

    "Idiot, you love replenishing blood, right?!"

    "Here, have a thorough replenishment!"

    "Holy crap, just joined the live stream, and it's already so bloody?!"

    "Yes! I love it!"
