All the guests have arrived, and the production team asked everyone to sit around a long table.

Zhou Ye and I sat on one side, while Yin Jiaojiao and the other two sat across from us.

The first game was a truth or dare segment.

Since there were three men and two women among the guests, there were no pairings.

So, I watched as Jiang Zixu, who was originally sitting next to Yin Jiaojiao, went to get a glass of water.

Then, he walked around and confidently sat next to me, sandwiching me between him and Zhou Ye.

Me: "?"

I looked at Jiang Zixu in confusion, but he remained calm.

Who would understand? The ex-husband of the program's brother suddenly sat next to me.

The game began, and as I expected, I, the black hole of the game, became the first person to take a dare.

The production team brought out the prepared dare cards.

I randomly picked one and it said to call my ex-boyfriend.

I glanced at my ex-boyfriend sitting next to me, who had a face full of anticipation.

Me: "How about I change it to a truth question?"

Jiang Zixu: "What truth question? Is your ex-boyfriend not worthy?"

I sighed with feigned sadness, "Yes, I was blind before. That ex-boyfriend of mine was dumb as a pig and ugly as a beast, indeed not worthy."

Jiang Zixu: "Impossible, right? I heard your ex-boyfriend was a handsome guy known throughout the village."

I drew another truth card handed to me by the production team and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Zixu:

"Hearsay is hearsay, but my ex-boyfriend is truly not worthy."

Jiang Zixu: "Heh."

I didn't bother with him and looked down at the newly drawn card.

"Truth question: Why did you break up with your ex?"

I couldn't believe it. Why are both the dares and truth questions about my ex-boyfriend?

Does this show mean I can't live without my ex-boyfriend?

"Another question about my ex?" Yin Jiaojiao covered her mouth and smiled at me. "Fu Jiejie, there's nothing to be ashamed of. If you say it, no one will make fun of you. What does it have to do with you if a man is lousy?"

Before I could even resist, she put me on the spot.

I glanced at the barrage, and sure enough, she led them astray.

【Could Fu Yue's ex-boyfriend be an old man with a big belly? That's why she's afraid to say it】

【How else could they break up? He must have been dumped by a sugar daddy】

【Can you stop spreading rumors? Can't people have a normal relationship without involving a sugar daddy?】

I took a sip of water and suppressed the urge to swear.

Jiang Zixu rested his elbow on the table and propped his face on his hand. "Go ahead, why did you break up?"

Alright, you really want to know?

"The reason I broke up is simple: my ex-boyfriend couldn't perform."

A series of question marks flashed in the barrage.

【Isn't this sister too bold with her words?】

【Hahaha, I hope her ex-boyfriend is watching】

【Fu Yue, be bold and show us his ID card to avoid misunderstandings】

I saw Jiang Zixu's face instantly darken.

"Why am I..." Jiang Zixu's voice was filled with bitterness. He probably wanted to say, "Why am I not good enough?" But he realized he was on a show, so he shifted the topic, "It's fine for you, unlike my ex-girlfriend, who broke up with me because I took too long."

Me: "..."

【I don't believe it, show me the proof!】

【Future happiness for the goose is guaranteed】

【Don't you think there's a strange divorced couple vibe between Fu Yue and the crown prince? Can we talk about this?】

【Do they have the freedom tochoose who to sit next to?】

I glanced at Zhou Ye, who was sitting beside me, and saw him silently drinking water, not getting involved in the conversation.

Maybe he didn't want to be involved in the dispute between exes.

But why did this show keep focusing on my ex-boyfriend and Jiang Zixu?

Was it trying to create a love triangle?

At that moment, the host intervened and changed the topic to another guest, diverting the attention away from me.

The game continued, and as the truth or dare segment progressed, the atmosphere gradually eased.

Jiang Zixu and I also eased up and stopped targeting each other.

Perhaps it was because we realized that we were both victims of the show's editing.

After the truth or dare game, we moved on to other segments, such as a cooking competition and a talent show.

Throughout the show, there were occasional interactions between Jiang Zixu and me, but they were no longer confrontational.

Instead, we exchanged a few friendly jokes and laughter.

As the show came to an end, the guests gathered for a group photo.

We stood side by side, and Jiang Zixu put his arm around my shoulder, pretending to be close.

I glanced at him and smiled, playing along.

As the camera shutter clicked, capturing the moment, I couldn't help but wonder what the audience's reaction would be to this unexpected turn of events.

But one thing was for sure, the show had successfully created a buzz and generated interest.

As the episode aired, the online discussions exploded with speculations and theories about our relationship.

People dissected every interaction, analyzed every gesture, and debated whether there was something more between us.

But behind the scenes, Jiang Zixu and I knew the truth.

We were simply two individuals who had moved on from our past and had found a way to coexist peacefully.

Our lives had taken different paths, and we had both grown and changed.

So, amidst the rumors and speculations, we chose to remain silent and let people believe what they wanted to believe.

After all, reality and perception are often two different things.
