Heartbeat Emergency 21

Chapter 21: Is It Just Your Nature Not to Smile?

Meanwhile, in Zhao Qifei’s room, he sat on the sofa, staring intently at his phone. Forty minutes had passed, and he hadn’t received a single message.

Zhao Qifei even thought his phone was broken. He shook it, but the chat interface remained unresponsive.

The wait was always torturous. Zhao Qifei felt that his performance today had been good. He had even cooked dinner. Logically, he shouldn’t have received zero votes, right?

The longer he waited, the more anxious he became. Zhao Qifei couldn’t stand it anymore. He simply got up and went to find Chen Zhibin, planning to ask if he had received any messages.

Zhao Qifei went out and up to the third floor. By this time, the follow-cam cameramen had already gone to rest, but there were fixed cameras in various places in the Heartbeat House, and they were still running.

Zhao Qifei went to the right side of the third floor and knocked on Chen Zhibin’s door.

When Chen Zhibin saw Zhao Qifei, he immediately understood his intention. He quickly asked, “Brother Zhao, did you receive any messages?”

Zhao Qifei shook his head. “I came to talk about this. I didn’t get any. What about you?”

“I didn’t get any either. Could there be a problem with the phone’s software? After all, the phone has restrictions. Could it be that the local network can’t receive messages?” Chen Zhibin also felt that he shouldn’t have received no messages. After all, he was quite popular at school. It was unlikely that no one would send him a message.

“Then why don’t we ask Yu Lin? She lives right next to you,” Zhao Qifei said after some thought.

“Mhmm.” Chen Zhibin quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhao Qifei turned and went to Yu Lin’s door. He reached out and knocked. “Yu Lin, are you asleep? I want to ask you something.”

Yu Lin had just covered the camera in her room and was about to go to sleep. She was a bit surprised to hear a knock on the door, but she still went to open it.

“What’s wrong? Why are you two still up so late?” Yu Lin asked. She wasn’t worried about any other accidents. After all, there were cameras in the hallway, so there wouldn’t be any danger.

“No, I just wanted to ask you, is there a problem with your phone’s signal? Aren’t the guests supposed to send messages every night? Neither of our phones have any response,” Chen Zhibin said anxiously.

He was on this show to gain popularity. Of course, he would be even happier if he could latch onto a rich woman. He wasn’t here to be embarrassed.

Yu Lin had to bite her lower lip to keep from laughing. She took a deep breath and then said, “The signal is fine. I received a message.”

“Huh?” Zhao Qifei’s face turned red. Damn it, I’ve embarrassed myself again.

Afraid of further embarrassment, Zhao Qifei quickly tried to save face. “It’s only eleven o’clock now. Maybe some people haven’t sent theirs yet. I’ll go back then. Good night.”

“Mhmm, good night. Go to bed early.” The moment Yu Lin closed the door, she burst out laughing. Seriously, do these two overconfident alphas really think someone likes them?

And that scene was witnessed by many gossip-loving netizens. At this moment, Zhao Qifei’s live stream was also flooded with comments from netizens.

[LOL, Zhao Qifei, I wish I had half of your confidence.]

[Is it possible that it’s not a signal problem, but simply that no one sent you a message?]

[This Zhao Qifei is so narcissistic. You don’t really think someone will choose you just because you cooked dinner, do you?]

[If we were voting for who cooked the best food, Little Moon might have voted for you.]

Meanwhile, in Su Jian Yue’s room, she had just come out of the bathroom. Su Jian Yue planned to say good night to the viewers and then go to rest. She picked up her phone for a look and saw that there were two more messages.

[Anonymous: You’re so cute. I hope you have fun tomorrow.]

[Anonymous: I hope we can get to know each other in the coming days. Please take care of me in the future~]

Su Jian Yue sat there looking at her phone, scratching the back of her neck. Wait, why are other people sending me messages?

Although she didn’t know who they were from, Su Jian Yue didn’t dwell on it. She stood up, walked over to the fixed camera, and gave the lens a sweet smile. “Good night, everyone. I’m going to bed early!”

That night, all the guests except for Su Jian Yue were more or less nervous. They were either guessing who their date would be tomorrow, or worrying about various matters for the next day, afraid of messing up.

Only Su Jian Yue still thought it was her older sister who had gotten her gift, so she slept soundly and sweetly.

The next morning, the production team sent a message in the group, asking the alphas to send their first date locations to the host, Yang Rui, individually. Yang Rui would then, based on yesterday’s gift selection, inform the omegas of the date locations they were to go to that morning.

After Yang Rui had compiled the information, she had the alphas leave first and wait at their designated date locations.

Su Jian Yue was still a bit sleepy, but thinking that she could spend the whole day out with her older sister, she immediately perked up and came back to life.

Afraid of not having enough fun, Su Jian Yue didn’t wear a skirt this morning. Instead, she wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of black denim shorts, with a pair of white platform sneakers on her feet. She looked very refreshing.

She put on the blue baseball cap, took her small crossbody bag, and happily went out.

Seeing her swaggering look, the viewers in the live stream typed out rows of “hahahaha.”

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Seeing Little Moon so happy makes me want to laugh.]

[Is our cub a bit too optimistic? Hasn’t she considered what would happen if her older sister didn’t get her gift?]

[LOL, she really hasn’t thought about it.]

[Hahaha, so pitiful, so cute.]

[I really want to go in and pet Little Moon. A carefree little puppy A is really hard not to like.]

At this moment, Su Jian Yue still didn’t know that everyone was laughing at her. She smiled at the camera, cheerful all by herself. “In a bit, we’ll go to a nearby breakfast stall to wait for someone. After we eat, I’ll take Older Sister out to play.”

[What a good little puppy. I really want to take her home.]

[Little Moon, don’t think we can’t see through you. You’re the one who wants to go out and play, right? (dog head.jpg)]

[Hahaha, others are here to date, you’re just here to eat, drink, and play.]

[Our cub should be playing more!]

Su Jian Yue took a table at this breakfast shop. The shop wasn’t big, and there were also some tables and chairs outside.

The reason Su Jian Yue chose this place was because she saw online that the locals said the breakfast here was good. When you go to a new place, you should definitely choose a local hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The food there is more authentic and delicious.

Besides, her date was her older sister. Her older sister wouldn’t blame her for choosing a place that wasn’t elegant enough.

On the other side, Yang Rui had sent the addresses to all the omegas individually, and then notified everyone to set off from the villa.

Shen Xun glanced at the address on her phone. It was a relatively famous tea restaurant in Beijing. She gently shook the fountain pen in her right hand, then got into the car with the cameraman.

Yu Lin, on the other hand, had dressed up nicely. She had woken up extra early this morning, wearing a white dress and with her makeup done meticulously, just to leave a different impression on Su Jian Yue.

Shen Xun was very beautiful, but she wasn’t bad either. And she had work experience, so her aura was different from Shen Xun’s. Yu Lin just wanted to show Su Jian Yue a side of her that was different from everyone else.

With that thought, Yu Lin got into the car with her follow-cam cameraman. But the breakfast shop she had imagined never appeared. The taxi dropped her off at the entrance of an alley. The shop Su Jian Yue had chosen required passing through this alley, and cars couldn’t go through here.

Yu Lin didn’t think much of it. She and the cameraman got out of the car and followed the navigation on her phone through the alley. From a distance, she saw Su Jian Yue waiting at the entrance of a breakfast shop.

Su Jian Yue also saw the follow-cam cameraman in the distance. Her gaze shifted to the side, and the radiant smile that had been on her face instantly disappeared.

Huh? Why isn’t the person who came Older Sister? Isn’t this that lawyer named Yu Lin? Su Jian Yue was completely stunned.

At the same time, rows of “hahahaha” on the bullet comments directly obscured the screen.

[Little Moon is so cute. She’s completely stunned.]

[Our baby thought her date was Shen Xun. Hahahaha.]

[Little Moon is stunned. I really want to go over and pinch the cub’s face.]

[Ahhh, what a little milk puppy A. So cute.]

[Su Jian Yue, why aren’t you smiling? Is it just your nature not to smile? (dog head.jpg)]

Su Jian Yue dazedly scratched the back of her neck. Seeing that the person had already walked up to her, she quickly put a smile back on her face. “Sister Yu Lin, it’s you?”

Seeing that she had been stunned just now, Yu Lin was so amused she laughed. “Mmm, what’s wrong? Am I not the person you were thinking of?”

Su Jian Yue gave Yu Lin a couple of awkward laughs. “No, no. I thought it was my older sister.”

With that, she looked a bit flusteredly at the breakfast stall she had chosen, then at what Yu Lin was wearing, and said apologetically, “The place I chose…”

Seeing her embarrassment, Yu Lin smiled at her and interrupted Su Jian Yue’s words. “It’s fine. These street-side shops are often more authentic. If I had known you chose this place, I wouldn’t have worn this today.”

“Then, why don’t we change places?” Su Jian Yue also felt very apologetic. She had thought it was her older sister coming to join her. If it were her Older Sister Xunxun, she would have had no pressure eating here.

After all, she and Shen Xun had known each other since they were children and couldn’t be more familiar. No matter where she chose, her older sister would be tolerant of her. But she wasn’t familiar with Yu Lin. It was their first time eating together, and taking her to a street-side breakfast stall made Su Jian Yue feel a bit sorry.

“It’s okay. This place is fine. Let’s sit outside.”

Hearing Yu Lin say this, Su Jian Yue felt even more guilty. She quickly took out a tissue. “Wait, let me wipe the stool first.”

With that, Su Jian Yue carefully wiped the stool next to Yu Lin, then took out another clean tissue and wiped the table in front of her.

While Su Jian Yue was doing all this, Yu Lin’s gaze was fixed on her, a smile playing on her lips.

The moment the two of them met, the bullet comments in the live stream were so numerous that they couldn’t be seen clearly.

[Ahhhhhh, it’s over. I don’t think it’s impossible to ship these two.]

[Yu Lin is so nice. She knew Su Jian Yue wasn’t waiting for her, but she wasn’t angry and even helped her out of the awkward situation.]

[Look, the way Yu Lin is staring at Su Jian Yue. My god, why is this pair so sweet too?]

[Hmph, a little puppy who obediently takes care of people is just too cute. Who can’t like Little Moon?]

[Sob, our cub is really so cute!]
