Chapter 126
The viewers who had witnessed the entire scene were already laughing hysterically in the live chat.
(Natalie and Mr. Luther bickering is like watching a comedy skituo. I can’t stop laughing!!
[How can they be so in syne? They even said the same things. I shocked!]
[Exactly. Mr. Luther is usually so serious and cold. But with Natalie, he’s suddenly so funny!]
[This is outrageous, everyone! The two least compatible people re paired together, and it’s making me so uncomfortable!]
[Mr. Luther is definitely only here for Vivian! Vivian& Darren is the best! Natalie Xavier, get lost!]
Natalie and Darren got into the train. The soft sleeper carriage load eight compartments in total. The two of them were in compartment number one.
As soon as Darren entered, he headed straight for the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water filled the air–it was clear he was taking a shower.
He had a cleanliness obsession and despised the stench of the train station. The fact that he had endured it this long was no
small feat.
Listening to the sound of the water, Natalie raised her eyebrows slightly
She wasn’t interested in learning why Darren had joined this dating show. To her, he was just an ordinary male partner.
If she liked him, she’d chat more and see if anything could develop. If not, she’d focus on completing the tasks and part
ways.
Natalie collected her thoughts and started thinking seriously.
This dating show felt more like a game level. It wasn’t hard to understand.
The usual routine in game levels involved an alternating cycle: receiving clues, completing tasks, and then obtaining additional clues.
The first clue provided by the production team was this train ticket.
Now that she was on the train, it meant she had completed the first task–meeting up with the male guest.
Based on her gaming experience, the second clue should be on the train, maybe even in this compartment. She needed to find it to know what the next task would be.
This compartment had everything: a private bathroom, dining table, television, air conditioning, even disposable slippers, bath towels, and a charger. In the corner above the bed, she also noticed a working camera. Now she understood why the cameraman hadn’t followed them in.
She was so focused on searching that she didn’t notice when the sound of the water stopped. Suddenly, a deep, cold voice sounded behind her.
What are you looking for?” Darren asked, frowning.
Natalie looked up, about to respond, but she froze.
The viewers had the same reaction as her.
[OMG! Mr. Luther’s body is amazing!]
Chapter 120
(Oh my god. Is this pure fan service? Hurry and screenshot! Mr.uther looks so good just out of the shower!]
LOL Natalie is totally stunned!]
Has Natalie never seen a man before! That’s Vivian’s man! Close your eyes, OK?[
Natalie was indeed a bit dazed. Looking up, she was met with a perfect physique: a strong, muscular chest with a healthy glow, perfectly defined abs, and his V–line, partially obscured by the edge of the towel. Everything was on full display. creating a feast for the eyes. With such a strong visual impact, anyone would need a moment to react.
“Why…” She asked, confused, “Why aren’t you wearing any cloilies?”
Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Darren felt a vague sense of satisfaction and thought, ‘I knew this would mesmerize her. She’s a bit of a lecher. Even when she was behind a screen, she practically drooled over me. Now, she’s probably struggling to keep herself from jumping on met I wore just a ball towel for her benefit, after all And now she is pretending to be all serious.
He shot Natalie a sidelong glance. “The clothes are dirty. How can I wear them?”
“Then wash them.” Natalie was speechless. “Isn’t there a washing machine in there?”
“I don’t know how to use it. His answer was blunt.
Natalie was silent. She forgot that he was even more useless with household tasks than she was. She rubbed hertemples and said helplessly, “That isn’t the reason for you to come out in just a bath towel.”
Or do you want me to wear dirty clothes?” Darren frowned in disgust.
Natalie chuckled. “Wearing dirty clothes is still better than wearing nothing. What you’re doing is harassment.”
Darren scoffed, “You were clearly staring just now,”
Natalie said, “I was trying to find out who flaunted his body without proper decorum.” Darren was rendered speechless.
Natalie added, “Put on some clothes, Mr. Luther. Only men who uphold proper respect.“–
conduct and ethics can earn a woman’s
After saying that, she casually tossed a blanket over him, covering his head and upper body.
Darren was stunned. He angrily yanked the blanket off and glared at her angrily.
“Why are you glaring at me?” Natalie snapped back. “You don’t even know how to use a washing machine, and you still have the nerve to glare?”
Natalie didn’t want to be around a half–naked man. She brushed past him, walked into the bathroom, and tossed his clothes into the washing machine with disdain.
When Darren saw this, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated
He couldn’t help but think of the past three years when she had always been so gentle and considerate, and his gaze softened without him realizing it.
Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were laughing hysterically and naturally didn’t notice the subtle change in his. expression.
[They really are archenemies. They started bickering again within ten minutes! I’m dying of laughter!]
[From the moment they met, they’ve been at each other’s throats. While every other pair enjoys a harmonious atmosphere, these two just keep clashing with each other!]
Chapter 126
[Clashing with each other? They look like they’re ready to start fight. LOL. This is too funny!]
Natalie is practically a champion of proper conduct for men. T laughing so hard. All men should learn proper conduct, or no woman will want them!]
Mr. Luther couldn’t even seduce Natalie with his clothes off. It’s clear she’s really not interested in him.]
On camera, Natalie poured in the laundry detergent and turned on the machine. When she turned around, she saw Darren’s strange expression and frowned in suspicion.
“What?” she snapped. “Don’t just stand there. Help find the clue we can finish the task and go our separate ways!”
Darren thought, Talking about splitting up constantly–does she really want to part ways with me? I don’t believe it. I just can’t be bothered to expose her. She always says one thing but jeans another. He asked, “What clue are we looking for?”
Seeing he was clueless, Natalie filled him in on what she knew.
Darren had been at the train station since the morning and knew nothing about this episode’s task, but after hearing her explanation, he understood.
The two of them carefully checked the compartment, even searching under the bed and the sink, but they didn’t find anything resembling an envelope.
Darren said, “In games, clues usually fall into two categories. One type can be found within a certain area, while the other type appears after triggering a specific event. It seems the production team has chosen the second type.”
Natalie nodded in agreement. “Then we’ll wait.”
The total duration of this train ride was four hours. The production team must have planned a specific event. Until that event happened, they would just play the role of passengers.
Natalie started playing on her phone, falling silent, while Darren opened his mouth to speak but then closed it again.
In the narrow, private space, he noticed her soft, delicate skin and could even feel the warmth of her breath. A surge of desire flared up in a certain part of him.
But just then, there was a knock on the door. The attendant called out, “Lunch service. Sir, ma’am, would you like to order lunch?”
Natalie immediately stood up, exchanged a glance with Darren, and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the clue is here.”
She opened the door, and the attendant, pushing a food cart, asked with a practiced smile, “Sir, ma’am, it’s lunchtime. We offer three meal options: 30 dollars, 60 dollars, and 150 dollars. The 150 set also includes fruit, hot drinks, and hot soup. It’s the most cost–effective choice. Shall I bring you two sets?”
The production team had only provided them with 700 dollars. Instinctively, every viewer assumed that each participant would choose to spend sparingly, as this 700 was likely their total budget for the entire task period. So when they heard Natalie unhesitatingly order two 150–dollar meals, they couldn’t keep their cool.
