The atmosphere in the living room froze for a mont.
Clearly it’s a dating reality show, but just as it starts, there’s inexplicably a hint of hostility.
The audience is sowhat bewildered.
[Am I watching a dating show? Why is there tension right from the start?]
[It’s been so long since I’ve seen my girl fight back. I miss it~]
[I don’t know why, but seeing my girl’s attitude, I’m suddenly a bit worried about this Ninth Brother.]
Most people attracted to Scarlett Jennings are fans of Inspiration.
At this mont, they connect online in a silent understanding.
Seeing this Ninth Brother, they feel he seems a bit weak.
On cara, the mild smile on Franklin Nova’s face freezes slightly when he hears Scarlett Jennings’s words.
Next to him, Evelyn imdiately looks distressed, glancing at Scarlett Jennings with a tone full of reproach and dissatisfaction,
"Why do you speak like that? Franklin is clearly doing it for your own good!"
Scarlett Jennings lifts her eyes to her,
"Only controlling parents always like to say ’it’s for your own good’."
Her tone is calm and clearly not aid at anyone, yet everyone present and the audience understand the unspoken implication.
In short, one line—Are you my dad?
Evelyn seems to be angered, wanting to say more, but then Edward Wright suddenly steps in to smooth things over,
"Alright, today is the new guest’s first day, let’s not argue over such trivial matters. Why don’t we talk about today’s task first?"
In two sentences, she brushes the matter aside and smoothly brings up the agenda, but anyone with a keen eye can see she speaks not for the program team, but to prevent Franklin Nova from further embarrassnt.
Because as soon as she finishes speaking, her eyes instinctively turn to Franklin Nova, full of tender affection, almost overflowing from the cara lens.
Holden Wright stands expressionless, while Franklin Nova gently ets her gaze.
Evelyn doesn’t get angry, still looking at her fiancé who is fixated on another woman with eyes full of love.
This scene is quite absurd.
Even though Scarlett Jennings has watched the previous episode, seeing it in person feels bizarrely ridiculous.
And the source of this absurdity is the man opposite her called Franklin Nova.
But Scarlett Jennings temporarily cannot see what thods he’s using to control these two won, she’ll have to keep watching.
Over there, Evelyn also explains today’s task from the program team, which requires making a lavish welco dinner for the new couple guests.
Each couple is responsible for two dishes, but one must be completed collaboratively.
The six people can buy the necessary groceries at the market but must not exceed the budget.
The program budget isn’t high, so to achieve the requirent of six dishes under this budget, they need to plan in advance what to cook and which ingredients can be used together.
In this segnt, Scarlett Jennings doesn’t have any conflicts with the other guests, and the six harmoniously decide on the nu and ingredients, then head off to the nearby market together.
Franklin Nova and Evelyn, Holden Wright, and Edward Wright walk side by side at the front.
Franklin Nova walks between the two won, their attention and conversations centered around him.
Instead, Evelyn’s legitimate boyfriend, supposedly walking alongside, is isolated as if outside the trio.
Since the last episode, when two female guests’ argunt led to the original couple leaving the show, most viewers no longer regard this as a serious dating reality show.
Now they’re more interested in knowing when Holden Wright will break up with his girlfriend?
After all, his girlfriend has emotionally cheated in front of the cara.
Even a fake couple would find it hard to hold back their temper, let alone a real couple.
Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs walk behind, just observing.
The viewers initially anticipated seeing the two fall in love, but now, watching, they feel sothing is off.
It seems the two... don’t really look like they’re dating.
Forget sweet gazes, they haven’t even held hands all morning.
Apart from Samuel pouring water and Scarlett drinking it initially, there’s nothing typical of a young couple.
[Did they have a fight?]
So viewers can’t help but wonder, and imdiately others refute,
[Oh please, this is clearly a comrcial marriage, they’re not a real couple, how could they act like one?]
Scarlett Jennings is unaware of the online discussions; at this mont, the two are standing in front of a stall with baskets of eggs.
"Miss, want to buy so eggs? These are ho-laid from the village, different from those factory eggs, full of soul."
As a Master, Scarlett Jennings likes things with soul.
So she begins to carefully pick the eggs.
Samuel Chalrs doesn’t know how to pick, casually grabbing an exceptionally well-shaped egg in his hand.
His gaze instinctively shifts, watching her brows as she carefully selects eggs.
Rembering what she said when accepting the juice he poured, even though it might be due to filming, he felt inexplicably relieved at that mont.
Ghost ssenger that he was, he suddenly asks her,
"Why did you agree to co to this show with ?"
The sudden question was sothing he’d longed to ask.
After all, given her past attitude towards him, he thought she’d eagerly try to distance herself from him.
Scarlett Jennings pauses slightly upon hearing him, doesn’t imdiately look up, but after a mont of silence, slowly turns to look at him,
"Because soone said, let wait for him a bit longer."
Samuel Chalrs feels a slight stir in his heart, but as soon as he ets her gaze, it dawns on him.
The ’soone’ she ntioned isn’t him now.
It’s... the past Samuel Chalrs.
After her second refusal to accept back that half of the Heart Stone from him, Simon found her.
He conveyed what Samuel Chalrs had once asked him to say, but hadn’t yet passed on—
"He didn’t let tell you this from the start."
"Because he knew that even without saying it, you’d definitely do it."
"The fusion of the Vein Soul with the body requires a long integration period; even he doesn’t know when it will fully rge. He doesn’t want you to suffer any grievances from him during this process.
If one day, you choose to give up due to him, he instructed not to interfere with your decision, unless...
Samuel Chalrs actively approaches you."
As a Vein Soul, Samuel Chalrs knows himself better than anyone.
So he’s also aware of what his attitude towards Scarlett Jennings would be before the Vein Soul’s mories completely fuse with the body.
But if one day, ’he’ actively approaches her, it must be a sign of the Vein Soul rging.
So he implored through Simon’s mouth,
"Scarlett Jennings, give him a bit more ti... don’t give up on him."
The sa words Samuel Chalrs had previously said, but they leave Scarlett Jennings greatly shaken.
Because until that mont, she vaguely realizes.
Perhaps the one who spoke those words to her wasn’t just the current Samuel Chalrs, but also... him.
