After I Joined a Dating Show, Everyone Started Shipping Me With My Ex

1. After the divorce, Su Heming thought he and Wen Sangyu would never have anything to do with each other again.

But a week later, he received an invitation to Heartbeat Reboot, a divorce travel reality show that wanted him and Wen Sangyu to appear together.

Since he owed the director a favor, Su Heming had no choice but to sign the contract.

At the start of filming,

Wen Sangyu is cold and distant, while Su Heming smiles with a knife behind his back.

They can't stand the sight of each other and burn incense every day, praying for the other to have bad luck.

Su Heming even keeps coming out with viral one-liners that take the internet by storm:

"They say, 'If you're doing well, the skies are clear.' With weather this awful today, Teacher Wen might as well close his eyes for good."

"Only after we separated did I realize that a lot of things would be much simpler without Teacher Wen around."

The two quickly take the top spot on the list of the three divorced couples least likely to get back together.

Viewers cry, "If those two get back together, I'll hand-copy the Oxford English Dictionary!"

2. Midway through filming, the crew visits Wen Sangyu's home.

Su Heming, who comes along, is surprised to discover that Wen Sangyu is living in the house they shared before their divorce.

Every single thing that belonged to Su Heming is still in its original place, clean and tidy, clearly cared for with great attention.

Su Heming picks up the ring Wen Sangyu has placed in a dustproof case and raises an eyebrow. "You haven't thrown it away?"

Wen Sangyu lowers his lashes, his voice betraying no emotion. "I've been too busy. I haven't gotten around to it."

When the episode airs, the fans go wild. They dig up Wen Sangyu's schedule, and the entire itinerary contains just one entry: Heartbeat Reboot.

Fans: You call that busy?

Fans: I'm shipping them! "After you left, I kept all your things safe." Is this what divorced husbands are like?

3. By the later stages of filming,

everyone can tell Wen Sangyu still likes Su Heming:

The tattoo over his collarbone is Su Heming's name, the jewelry on his hand is a birthday gift Su Heming once gave him, and even the fanfiction about the two of them on a secret account has been discovered.

So every day, fans check in with the same question:

Have Wen Sangyu and Su Heming gotten back together today?

Answer: No.

With the demand growing too loud to ignore, the production crew adds a one-on-one interview segment overnight.

Su Heming sits in a private room, the fluorescent light illuminating the whole space. The small mole at the corner of his eye makes your vision swim as he smiles faintly.

"Did he say he still loves me?"

Fans: ??

Fans: Oh, right!

#Wen Sangyu! Your mouth is for talking!#

#If you don't use your mouth, donate it to someone who needs one#
