Chapter 3 The boasting is too much.
Tian Xiwei gritted her teeth, her nails digging into her arm so hard they almost dug into her flesh: "Aren't you overthinking it?"
"Ah! That's good!" Li Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there are no emotional entanglements, everything is fine.
Having traveled through time, he no longer wanted to have any romantic entanglements with any woman.
One reason is the emotional trauma from his past life. Another reason is that a 40-year-old transmigrator shouldn't be dating young girls. Wouldn't it be better to use that time and energy to pursue a career in the arts and entertainment industry?
Poet? Never experienced that. King of singers? Never experienced that. Movie star? Never experienced that... But girl, in his past life, he was almost ripped off by them.
If you're truly gifted, dating young models is better than dating.
Looking at Li Shen, who seemed to have been granted a pardon, Tian Xiwei suddenly felt like a discarded woman he had rejected!
Does he think he's participating in this show to salvage a past relationship?
Oh!!
Now, she wants to tell him in person that she came to the show only to formally break up with him! She hopes he won't misunderstand and won't bother her anymore!
She only hopes that through this program, both sides can resolve their misunderstandings, end the past, let go of their differences, and be reborn, and that there will be no further emotional entanglement after the program ends!
That's just how open and straightforward she, Tian Xiwei, is!
"Li Shen, is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm about to speak."
"have!"
"Then continue." Tian Xiwei took a deep breath, secretly preparing a cold and resolute tone.
The carefully prepared lines—"May we live long and far apart," "Take care," and "Never see each other again"—kept flashing through her little head.
Li Shen's tone was calm yet firm: "Ten minutes ago, I decided to come here. My purpose is clear: to end the past and start a new life. I hope you don't misunderstand; I'm not here to rekindle old flames. Please don't let old feelings resurface."
Tian Xiwei: "?"
Li Shen: "In this program, we will make a clean break, commemorate our past happiness, untie the shackles on our hearts, and then wave goodbye to each other without regrets."
Tian Xiwei: "??"
Li Shen: "The show marks the end of our relationship, but it's also the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, a time for us to let go of our burdens and start afresh. I hope we can say goodbye to the past here, and wish each other well in the long and peaceful years ahead."
Tian Xiwei: "???"
"I've finished speaking, Tian Xiwei, you can go on now."
Li Shen casually raised his hand, gesturing for her to speak.
Tian Xiwei stared blankly at his dashing figure, completely speechless.
He was using her words!
She should be the one who's carefree now!
She had already prepared similar words in advance, ready to say them to Li Shen.
She even prepared her tone in advance—it had to be cold, resolute, ruthless, and nonchalant!
You need to make him feel your carefree attitude and your complete lack of lingering feelings for the past!
But just now, did he disarm me of the weapon I had prepared? And then turn around and start shooting me?
How frustrating!
I'm never dating a screenwriter again, never again!
And what right did he have to steal my lines?!
Look at what he's saying! It doesn't sound like the words of a perpetrator at all!
He didn't come here to repent; he came here to settle scores with her!
At this moment, Tian Xiwei even had a strange feeling that she was the one who had wronged Li Shen!
Li Shen gestured again, "Tian Xiwei, say it!"
"You even know my lines better than I do."
Li Shen frowned, puzzled.
offstage.
Liu Qing whispered to Chen Lan, "Sister Lan, who is really the victim?"
Chen Lan's face turned ashen: "Of course it's Xiao Tian!"
Liu Qing didn't say anything, but remained puzzled.
Such a beautiful woman, a top-tier sweetheart, which man wouldn't want to have her? But the male guests seem to avoid her like the plague!
If the sweet girl has no problems, is the male guest sick? Doesn't he want such a treasure of a girl?
This doesn't make sense from either a logical or emotional perspective.
She keenly sensed that Li Shen must have been deeply hurt in the past relationship, which was why he was so eager to end things now.
If what she suspected was true, then his unilateral breakup and subsequent disappearance six years ago was likely because he simply couldn't bear Tian Xiwei anymore.
The real victim is not Tian Xiwei, but Li Shen?
Tian Xiwei may also be a troubled young woman.
There might be a twist later in the episode!
After analyzing the situation, Liu Qing's gaze towards Li Shen softened considerably.
Li Shen, it hasn't been easy for you!
Li Shen said, "Director, let's proceed with the formalities."
Liu Qing looked at Li Shen sympathetically, then at Tian Xiwei, whose emotions were complicated: "Xiao Tian, I'll give you some time to calm down first, and then we'll proceed with the next part."
Tian Xiwei took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm fine! Let's go through the procedures!"
"Okay, male guest, let's record a self-introduction first, and then we'll move on to the next segment. Please have a seat. Please introduce yourself: your name, age, and occupation."
Tables and chairs were set up on one side of the stage.
Li Shen and Tian Xiwei took their seats and took the microphones from the staff.
"My name is Li Shen, I'm 27, and I'm a screenwriter! And..." Li Shen racked his brains, some fragments of memory coming to mind, "Poet, writer, lyricist... um, and—"
Liu Qing: "There's more???!"
"Painter, calligrapher, actor..." Li Shen felt increasingly guilty as he recalled, his voice growing weaker and weaker, and his confidence waning.
Is the original owner of this body, who was only 27 years old, really that awesome?
If you're already this awesome, why would I have transmigrated here?
"That's enough," Tian Xiwei whispered, covering her forehead.
Li Shen quickly changed the subject: "That's all for now, okay?"
He suddenly realized that the fragments of his original body's memories that had just surfaced in his mind seemed to have some problems.
"Pretty good, huh?" Liu Qing said, her inner monologue: Favorability rating -1.
[That's all for now?!]
[Holy crap, he's such a braggart!]
[The male model is quite good at self-promotion!]

"Alright, next, we'll move on to the 'Telepathy' segment. This segment has 10 questions to test the level of understanding between couples..."
Tian Xiwei took the whiteboard and marker from the staff and glanced at Li Shen.
In this world, perhaps no one understands Li Shen better than her. Even though she doesn't quite understand him now, she knows his past inside and out.
No one in this world understands her better than Li Shen; she tells him everything without reservation.
Liu Qing: "First question. If you were to use an animal to describe love, which animal would you choose?"
Brush brush.
Li Shen quickly put pen to paper.
Tian Xiwei bit the pen cap, pondered for a moment, and then wrote down her answer on the answer board.
"Please, Oda, reveal the answer first."
Tian Xiwei held up the whiteboard, which had one word on it: Dog.
"Why a dog?"
"I believe that a good romantic relationship is about companionship. When I come home and open the door, he will be like a little dog wagging its tail, eagerly awaiting my return."
He would stay close to me, listening to my joys, and if I was feeling down, he would try his best to make me laugh…
Tian Xiwei rested her chin on her hand, becoming happier as she spoke: "...When I'm not working, I want my whole world to be filled with him."
Li Shen frowned: "Oh, a simp."
Tian Xiwei turned her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.
Liu Qing smiled: "Li Shen, what's your answer? Also a dog?"
Li Shen held up a sign: "Yes."
"You two are really on the same wavelength. So why did you use a dog to describe love?"
Li Shen's eyes darkened as he recalled the deep wounds he suffered in his past life's love, and he gave a bitter laugh: "Even a dog wouldn't talk about love."
Liu Qing looked at Li Shen with more sympathy in her eyes.
Tian Xiwei, what exactly did you do to him?
Li Shen looked at Tian Xiwei and explained, "Tian Xiwei, don't overthink it. What I said has nothing to do with you."
In Tian Xiwei's case, this explanation seems to have the effect of "protesting too much."
Tian Xiwei glared at Li Shen, her small fists clenched into perfect circles.
"Xiaotian, please score Li Shen's answer."
