After Episode Twelve of Love Cottage finished airing, all the viewers were extremely satisfied with the sugar they had consumed. This episode’s entertainment value was also the sweetest one yet. (Big misconception!)
Everyone silently enjoyed their own CP, feeling sweetness bubbling in their hearts.
However, just as all the viewers were overwhelmed by the sugar sprinkled in today’s episode, the staff of Love Cottage, who had been ready to enjoy some sugar themselves, were now utterly bewildered and dumbfounded.
Everyone, upon seeing the long-awaited, exclusive Sun Date initiated by Bai Baozhu, was so shocked their jaws nearly hit the floor!
Because, who the hell could have imagined that the person Bai Baozhu ultimately decided to ask on her Sun Date was actually—
“Holy crap!”
“What the hell!”
“…Huh?”
When all the dating guests saw the name written on the bulletin board for the Sun Date initiated by Bai Baozhu, everyone was shocked to their core.
Jiang Boyan and Lin Dong even couldn’t help but curse aloud.
“Zhu Zhu, did you write the wrong name?”
Xia Tiantian, who was closest to Bai Baozhu, was the first to regain her composure. She said with certainty,
believing Bai Baozhu must have written the wrong name! Otherwise, why would she ask out…
“No mistake, I didn’t write the wrong name. The dating guest I want to ask is Su Han.”
Under everyone’s stunned gazes, Bai Baozhu stated very matter-of-factly.
And Bai Baozhu’s matter-of-factness once again shocked the other dating guests into questioning their own sanity!
Were they dreaming?
Bai Baozhu’s Sun Date was with Su Han?
Damn! They must be dreaming!
“Lin Dong, pinch me. Let me see if I’m dreaming.”
Jiang Boyan looked at Su Han—hmm, the girl he used to like. Then he looked at Bai Baozhu—hmm, the girl he liked now…
How did these two become the pair going on a Sun Date?
No, this must be a dream. It was too impossible!
But the pain on his arm that followed thoroughly woke him up, making him realize this was not a dream!
This was freaking reality!
“Bai Baozhu! Are you messing with us? You’re a woman! How can your Sun Date partner be another female guest?! You should be asking a male guest!”
Originally, Jiang Boyan thought Bai Baozhu’s Sun Date would be with either him or Bo Shenyu.
But he never could have imagined! Bai Baozhu had actually asked Su Han! It was Su Han! (He flipped a table in his mind.)
This was just so damn awkward! So, should he draw a sun or not!
“That’s right, Zhu Zhu, you should write a male guest’s name.”
Listening to the others’ words, Bai Baozhu pouted stubbornly, completely unconcerned, and spoke with full confidence.
“Who said a Sun Date can only be with a male guest and not a female guest! Which rule says that? The Sun Date rules clearly say ‘dating guests’, it never specified male or female. ╭(╯^╰)╮”
Looking at Bai Baozhu’s utterly self-assured expression, all the dating guests, as well as the staff of Love Cottage, were rendered speechless by her argument.
Because what Bai Baozhu said was absolutely right!
The production team’s Sun Date rules indeed weren’t that detailed; they didn’t explicitly state that only guests of the opposite sex could date each other.
So Bai Baozhu was technically correct…
But! Wasn’t it common sense that male guests asked female guests, and female guests asked male guests? Who had a thought process like Bai Baozhu’s!
She directly wasted a Sun Date by asking a guest of the same sex…
Just as everyone was shocked speechless by Bai Baozhu’s words, the other party involved in this Sun Date, Su Han, began a massive brainstorming session! She started spinning conspiracy theories!
She originally thought Bai Baozhu asking her was utterly absurd. Forget the fact they were both girls. Just based on their status as love rivals, she already couldn’t stand her.
So, just as she was about to open her mouth to refuse Bai Baozhu, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her. She wondered if there was some deeper meaning behind Bai Baozhu using this Sun Date on her? Or perhaps, Bai Baozhu actually hoped she would refuse this Sun Date? Or maybe…
After all this wild speculation, Su Han decided to leave the choice of refusing or accepting the date to the production team!
If the production team approved this Sun Date, then she would go.
Then she could see just what this woman Bai Baozhu was up to, and what her goal was!
If the production team didn’t approve this Sun Date, then she wouldn’t have to do anything, nor worry about Bai Baozhu having any special intentions…
However, Su Han had speculated and thought so much all by herself. How could she know that Bai Baozhu hadn’t thought about any of that at all.
Bai Baozhu was single-minded in her thinking: since she had to go on a date anyway, she might as well make it a time-efficient one. She would just ask the person she most wanted to learn from to ‘date’!
Unfortunately, no one guessed Bai Baozhu’s uniquely bizarre, mudslide-like thought process.
Not only did Su Han misunderstand, suspecting Bai Baozhu of having some scheme, even the production team staff began to doubt Bai Baozhu’s motives…
“Wait! Do you all remember last time, during her personal interview, Bai Baozhu said her favorite female guest was Su Han! So this time, she used a Sun Date to ask Su Han?”
“…Don’t scare me. Are you trying to tell me Bai Baozhu likes girls? No! I don’t believe it! My Sweet CP will absolutely not have a Bad Ending!”
“Uh, probably not that either. But Bai Baozhu’s thought process really is something ordinary people can’t guess.”
“Stop all this wild guessing! I bet Bai Baozhu just wants to use the tactic of asking a same-sex guest to get the other party to refuse, thus avoiding the date. After all, she said herself she has no crush on anyone in this show.”
“Hmm, you make sense. Then let’s wait for Su Han to refuse Bai Baozhu.”
“What kind of mess is this! No wonder she absolutely refused to say who she wanted to ask during the day. She was probably afraid we’d ‘intercept’ her again like last time.”
“For the Moon Date, we absolutely must specify the rules in detail! Write the specifics clearly, so Bai Baozhu can’t exploit any loopholes in the wording again.”
…
At that moment, just as the Love Squad staff were frantically patching the other rules, thinking that Su Han—whose attribute was Bai Baozhu’s love rival—would definitely refuse Bai Baozhu’s Sun Date…
No one expected that Su Han did not refuse!
And! She actually prepared to go on the date!
“…” The Love Cottage staff were speechless: This show can’t be filmed anymore! What the hell!
At noon the next day, the dating guests and staff in Love Cottage watched as Su Han dressed up more beautifully than for any previous date, as if she were going to a beauty contest.
Then they looked at Bai Baozhu, who was also dressed extremely formally and looked much more spirited and energetic than during her dates with the male guests. Everyone fell into a collective silence.
Jiang Boyan silently cursed “Fck!” again, then with a gloomy face, glared fiercely at Su Han, before stomping angrily to the bulletin board and drawing a sun.
“Jiang Boyan, who said you could draw a sun? You’re so annoying.”
Seeing Jiang Boyan actually draw a sun, Bai Baozhu immediately felt a bit angry.
It was rare for her to be alone with Su Han. She wanted to learn more about Su Han’s unique feminine charm and communicate more to become friends. Why was it so difficult!
“Heh! I feel like it! The production team rules say I can draw a sun!”
Jiang Boyan looked at Bai Baozhu with a roguish, mischievous smile and spoke fiercely.
Seeing Jiang Boyan like this, Bai Baozhu just felt her hands itch—she really wanted to hit someone!
However, just as Bai Baozhu was fuming at Jiang Boyan, she saw Bo Shenyu, who had been silent and expressionless, also stride to the bulletin board. Just like Jiang Boyan, he drew a sun on it.
“…?”
Watching Bo Shenyu draw a sun without saying a word, Bai Baozhu was so confused her head was full of question marks.
What were they all doing!
A two-person study date turning into a three-person date was bad enough! Now it had become a four-person date?
“Hahaha, it’s a shame the Sun Date only allows two suns to be drawn. Otherwise, I’d want to draw one too. This date really seems too interesting.”
Lin Dong laughed, thoroughly enjoying the drama.
Hearing Lin Dong say this, the other dating guests also laughed good-naturedly.
“Yeah, I’d also really like to see why Zhu Zhu asked Su Han.”
“I also want to know why Zhu Zhu asked her and not me! Clearly, my relationship with Zhu Zhu is better!”
…
Amid the teasing from the other dating guests, the atmosphere of this extremely awkward four-person Sun Date gradually lightened.
Only Su Han was not relaxed at all.
Having speculated too much and concocted too many conspiracy theories, Su Han felt she might have guessed Bai Baozhu’s intention!
This Bai Baozhu was just being malicious, wanting to show off in front of her that both Jiang Boyan and Bo Shenyu liked her!
Look, now these two men had drawn suns precisely because of Bai Baozhu’s utterly absurd Sun Date!
This was practically rubbing her own charm in the dirt!
Her heart was just too black and wicked!
If the four of them went on the Sun Date together, she might even be force-fed dog food by them! She might be ignored…
The more she thought about it, the more Su Han felt Bai Baozhu’s intentions in initiating this Sun Date with her were utterly malicious!
Therefore, she decided that during the upcoming date, she would bring out one hundred percent of her charm! She would reverse the outcome of this date!
She wouldn’t let Bai Baozhu show off her charm in front of her! Of course, if she could also showcase herself in front of the other two male guests, make Bai Baozhu look completely worthless by comparison, and win back some favor, that would be even better!
And so, this unprecedented four-person date began, with all four participants harboring different thoughts.
It also began amidst the dazed and shocked expressions of countless production team staff members.
