The news that Ji Xizhi was going to be on a dating reality show was released a long time ago, with the show’s and Director Zhou’s Weibo accounts loudly promoting it. However, it wasn’t until “Bumping Love” aired and Ji Xizhi stepped into that pink conference room, sitting beside the other four love mentors of the show, that fans truly dared to believe it.
Ji Xizhi is participating in a dating show! She’s really participating in a dating reality show!!!
The main content of “Bumping Love” is about dating. The male and female guests record live in a villa, and there’s no need for the love mentors to be on-site. They just need to sit in a conference room and watch and discuss through the big screen.
Most of the audience watches the dating show not to listen to the mentors chit-chat, but to follow the main cameras of the villa dating scenes. The villa’s live stream is extremely popular, whereas the live stream from the mentors’ conference room isn’t as much.
The first six episodes of “Bumping Love” were like this.
Until the premiere of the seventh episode, when Ji Xizhi just stepped into the conference room, the comments in the mentors’ live stream exploded.
[Has Director Zhou been scammed, or are my eyes deceiving me, woo woo woo it’s the fresh Zhi Zhi~]
[I bet on “Heartbeat Intern”, “Our Major”, “Closer to Science”, and even “Today’s Law”, never expected Ji Xizhi to be on a dating show!]
[I have a question, did Director Zhou invite Ji Xizhi to ship CPs or break them up?]
[Whoa, my heart skipped a beat with the previous comment. I just started shipping!]
[Not a big issue, I’m here to hear Ji Xizhi’s views on love. What kind of person does our sister like, I’ll strive in that direction…]
[? @Director Zhou please arrange for Zhi Zhi to address this question! Quickly~]
…
The live stream was lively, and at the mentors’ conference room, all four regular guests stood up upon seeing Ji Xizhi.
There are a total of four love mentors in “Bumping Love”, two women and two men. Among the two female mentors, one is Ji Xizhi’s old acquaintance, Qiu Lin, a regular on the escape room show. The other female guest is Su Mengtian, the top tier of sugar shipping in the entertainment industry. Su Mengtian announced her marriage to her boyfriend of eight years last year and is currently in the sweetest period.
The two male mentors are Xia Xiao, who recently announced a relationship, and Sun Jian, a former young star who recently announced his second marriage.
The showrunners put a lot of thought into inviting the love mentors. From single Qiu Lin and newly in relationship Xia Xiao to recently married Su Mengtian and middle-aged remarried Sun Jian, covering almost every aspect. This diversity allows the mentors to discuss the guests’ relationships from different perspectives.
Their expressions were no different from the fans in the live stream when they saw Ji Xizhi.
Xia Xiao couldn’t hold back and spoke first, “Teacher Ji, Director Zhou really wasn’t scammed, he invited you!”
Su Mengtian extended her hand: “I’ve been wanting to collaborate with Teacher Ji for a long time, I’m Su Mengtian, hello!”
Sun Jian sneakily avoided the live camera, covering his mouth and asking Ji Xizhi, “Zhi Zhi, I heard Guan Fengyan asked you for your autograph? I also want…”
Qiu Lin, being the only one who knew Ji Xizhi beforehand, jumped up and hugged Ji Xizhi’s neck, “Wow wow wow, I haven’t seen you in so long!”
Ji Xizhi laughed and hugged Qiu Lin back, “Long time no see.”
After hugging Qiu Lin, Ji Xizhi politely greeted the other three mentors and promised to give Sun Jian an autograph.
The three mentors had seen a lot of news online and had a great impression of Ji Xizhi. Seeing her in person now, they liked her even more.
In the conference room, five people gathered around the table, getting more and more engaged in their conversation.
They didn’t realize the villa live stream had started until the host came in to remind them.
Oh! The dating show is still recording!
Only then did the five mentors refocus their attention on the big screen as the seventh episode of “Bumping Love” officially began.
Ji Xizhi sat in the conference room, watching the screen intently.
In the villa live stream, the male and female guests had started preparing gifts for each other. In the process of preparing gifts and guessing to choose pairs, the barrage had already gone crazy over many details.
The audience in the live stream was deeply engaged, and the mentors in the conference room couldn’t help but discuss.
As the new mentor of this episode, the other mentors habitually explained the current situation to Ji Xizhi.
“Teacher Ji, let me explain the current CP chaos. So far, the love intentions are clear. Female guest No.1 and No.3 like male guest No.3. Female guest No.2 and male guest No.4 clearly have mutual affection. Female guest No.4 used to like male guest No.3, but recently she and male guest No.2 have been getting along well, their situation is still unclear. Male guest No.1 likes female guest No.2, but he basically has no chance. Male guest No.3 is kind of a player, currently, both Qiu Lin and I think he would choose female guest No.3!”
Su Mengtian briefly explained to Ji Xizhi, and the host cooperated by displaying a chart linking the male and female guests.
“Teacher Ji, does this make sense to you?”
Ji Xizhi hadn’t responded when Xia Xiao couldn’t help but say, “Your No. 1234 explanation is making me dizzy!”
Instead, Ji Xizhi replied, “I understand, I studied ahead.”
Su Mengtian was curious about Ji Xizhi watching the dating show and followed up with another question, “So, Teacher Ji, which pair do you ship?”
Looking at the diagram of the male and female guests, Ji Xizhi slowly replied, “I think female guest No.2 and male guest No.2 are the most likely.”
“Huh?”
Ji Xizhi gave a response that was completely unexpected, leaving Su Mengtian utterly confused.
Su Mengtian, laughing helplessly, said, “Teacher Ji, your ship is too niche! Female guest No.2 and male guest No.4 are so obvious, just needing a decisive moment, and male guest No.2 is mostly seen with female guest No.4. How can they be linked together!”
Xia Xiao and Sun Jian couldn’t help but laugh and shake their heads, “Teacher Ji watched but didn’t understand at all! Hahaha, clearly she’s never been in love!”
Qiu Lin stood firmly beside Ji Xizhi, “What’s wrong with never being in love? I declare, I’m dropping ship 24 and now fully supporting ship 22!”
Xia Xiao: “Qiu Lin, don’t regret it! Our ship 24’s super topic has fifty thousand fans! If you drop now, you can’t be the main seat tonight!”
“I don’t want it!” Qiu Lin was determined to stand by Ji Xizhi, causing the other mentors to laugh out loud.
The laughter was, of course, at the fact that Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin, both single, didn’t understand the feelings between people in love~
Laughter filled the conference room.
The barrage in the live stream was similar, with fans hearing Ji Xizhi’s comment.
[My Zhi Zhi is shipping sugar! Come, start shipping!!!]
[I fast-forwarded to catch a glimpse, the screen with 22 together, is this sugar? This is an iron block!]
[OMG, this sugar almost knocked my teeth off! Ship 22 hardly has any scenes together, how can you even ship them!]
[Zhi, you’ve finally found something you’re not good at!]
[Stop saying it, the more you say that, I feel like she might just become good at it!!!]
