The 【Heartbeat Match】 is an important part of the 【First Step to Heartbeat】.
Interested guests can choose each other; if there are no interested parties, they can choose to abstain from voting. Overall, it is to create opportunities for further dates.
Generally, this is also an opportunity to strive for more screen time. After all, those who are not chosen have to engage in free activities, while those who are chosen have outdoor opportunities. The edited video will primarily focus on this segment.
However, there are also guests who are more laid-back, coming for relaxation from the start, and directly abstaining from voting to choose free activities.
Based on the previous key-finding segment, there are at least four such laid-back guests this time.
Therefore, when the director team officially announced the rules for 【Heartbeat Match】, they added a requirement: guests who receive three or more votes and did not abstain from voting are required to choose one dating partner from those who voted for them.
Other guests who were not successfully matched or chose to abstain from the Heartbeat Match voting will have free activities, without restrictions, and do not need to start live streaming.
At the same time, the program team also provided four tourist destinations for the successfully matched guests to choose from.
Soon, the program team prepared slips of paper with names and distributed them to each guest.
After guests finished writing, they could deposit their slips into the boxes on the table in front. Before dinner, the program team would announce everyone's voting results.
Before the guests vote, talking to each other is strictly prohibited.
With this explicit rule and the cameras strategically placed everywhere, it was difficult for the guests to say anything. They merely sized each other up secretly and wrote something on their slips.
Xia Qing Tian propped her chin with one hand and surveyed the room. The male guests, Tong Nian Zhe and Ji Mei Na, and Ji Jun and Lin Yi Rou, were all CP pairings she supported, and she definitely wouldn't break them up.
She was not familiar with Lü Song Tao and didn't want to engage in awkward small talk.
Ling Feng Han was the person she was most familiar with, but he was her idol. They were from the same agency, so it wouldn't be good to get too close and lose her composure.
If it affected Ling Feng Han's reputation, it would truly be her fault.
With that thought, Xia Qing Tian directly wrote 【Abstain】 on her slip.
It would be nice to rest well.
Soon, everyone had cast their slips into the boxes in front.
Before dinner, the program team officially announced the Heartbeat Match results.
【Only one pair truly achieved a Heartbeat Match this time, and that is Qiu Xin Xue and Lü Song Tao.】
When the program team announced this, Qiu Xin Xue appeared flattered and surveyed the room, her gaze lingering on Xia Qing Tian for a moment as a show of triumph.
Xia Qing Tian noticed Qiu Xin Xue's gaze and simply applauded with a smile to congratulate her.
【Additionally, the situation for another group of guests is rather complicated.】 Judging by the program team's pause here, it was indeed complicated.
【Among our guests, a total of three guests chose Xia Qing Tian, but Xia Qing Tian abstained from choosing.】
Upon hearing this, the proud smile on Qiu Xin Xue's face stiffened.
What did this mean? Besides Lü Song Tao, with whom she had previously made arrangements, did all the male guests choose Xia Qing Tian?
“Huh?” Xia Qing Tian blinked her eyes. When did she become so popular?
It couldn’t be…
【According to the rules we previously set, guests who receive three or more votes and do not abstain from voting are required to choose one dating partner from those who voted for them.】
【These three guests who voted are: Tong Nian Zhe, Ji Mei Na, and Lin Yi Rou.】
Hearing these three names, Xia Qing Tian became even more bewildered. Good heavens, two of the three who chose her were women.
What was the meaning of this?
Were the lilies blooming in her hometown again???
【Please, Xia Qing Tian, choose one guest from the three to have a Heartbeat Match.**】
After a pause, the program team continued, 【For the smooth broadcast of this program, we hope guests will choose carefully!】
【Holy crap! This is hilarious! The program team's survival instinct is fully activated!】
【However the program team was mischievous before, now they are that humble!】
【Hahaha! They insisted on being playful before, saying male guests could also choose each other. Now that they've actually seen same-sex mutual choices, the program team is panicking!】
【This is killing me! There are actually guests who are attracted to the same sex! How exciting is this!】
The live broadcast immediately became lively. No one expected to see such an exciting scene in a veteran dating show.
“This… How can I choose…” Xia Qing Tian gasped and hesitantly asked, “Can… can we have a group game?”
It was just going out to play anyway, couldn't everyone play together?
【This guest, this is a proper dating show, please mind your words!】
The program team's righteous stance amused the audience in the live broadcast.
【This is killing me, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone publicly request a group game!】
【Good heavens! Starting a harem on a dating show, only Xia Qing Tian could do something like this! I can’t take it anymore! Hahahaha!】
【As expected of you, Xia Qing Tian! You’ve made me laugh for a whole year! Hahaha!】
【Is it only me who feels sorry for the program team? They definitely won’t dare to be mischievous in the future.】
【Hahahaha…】
Meanwhile, seeing that Xia Qing Tian was genuinely troubled, the program team suggested, 【Each of the three guests will get one sentence to pitch themselves. The voting time starts with Tong Nian Zhe!】
The program team silently prayed that Tong Nian Zhe would be more capable and not turn the program into something unbroadcastable.
“Okay.” Suddenly called upon, Tong Nian Zhe looked at Xia Qing Tian and said, “The topic we didn’t finish last time, I hope we can continue discussing it this time.”
He hadn’t won over his wife yet and needed to keep working hard.
“I am very interested in you and want to get to know each other better.” Lin Yi Rou flipped her wavy curls, her gaze towards Xia Qing Tian holding three parts laziness, six parts curiosity, and a hint of subtle charm.
This was her honest feeling; Xia Qing Tian seemed very interesting.
At least from their interactions over the past five days, she quite liked Xia Qing Tian.
She had few friends in this circle, and it wouldn’t be bad to make a friend.
Finally, there was Ji Mei Na, who pouted and blinked her large eyes, asking, “My words… aren’t they okay?”
“They are more than okay!” Xia Qing Tian instantly felt a hit to her chest and gave two thumbs up: “Perfect!”
The program team fell silent, and the live broadcast went quiet.
Xia Qing Tian’s actions showed that in the face of cuteness, male charm and sexiness were insignificant!
【Hahahaha!】 Soon, the audience in the live broadcast started to erupt in laughter.
【This dating show is too funny! No! I have to share it with my friends! This is hilarious!】 Passersby laughed heartily and became organic promoters.
【She has good taste, Mei Na is the strongest!】 Ji Mei Na's fans also began to celebrate.
Who said Mei Na only had male fans? Mei Na had plenty of female fans too!
No one could defeat cuteness!
【Look at Young Master Tong’s disbelieving expression, hahahaha!】
【I’m sorry, Young Master Tong, although I’m your loyal fan, at this moment, I stand with the lily couple!】
【I’m sorry, Xia Qing Tian, I previously thought you were using Mei Na all along, I was wrong! You were just captivated by her beauty! We are all the same! Facing cuteness, we are all defenseless!】
【That’s right, in the face of cuteness, all beings are equal, they are all little brothers!】
That evening, two new trending topics soared to the top of the hot search list, reaching the number one spot with the fastest speed.
