Chapter 929: Chapter 385: Grand Finale

Chen Nuanhan ultimately reclaimed her goddess throne.

On confession night, unwilling to be left single, Li Dinghao mustered up his courage and confessed to Chen Nuanhan.

"I know you might not be ready right now, but I think liking someone should still be expressed. At the very least, to give yourself closure. And from another angle, even just as friends, you’re the kind of friend that’s truly special and rare..."

It was obvious that he’d practiced this speech many times, making it especially sincere and fluent.

Outside the screen, millions of viewers held their breath, while the bullet comments descended into chaos.

"No way, Warm Sister! Xiao Liz isn’t good enough for you!"

"Haohao, good job! Give him a chance, Nuannuan..."

"Nope, I don’t approve of this marriage!"

"Dream on, what does he even bring to the table?"

"And Chen Nuanhan, a Capital Normal University grad, what makes her so arrogant?"

In the bullet comments, 80% weren’t optimistic about the two of them, but since this was a dating show, there were still plenty rooting for them to get together.

If Chen Nuanhan didn’t handle it well, she would undoubtedly upset a lot of people and attract a random horde of haters.

But for her, this was as simple as breathing.

How it all ultimately played out? That depended solely on the effect she wanted to achieve.

"Not bad. Our values align— giving your best, even without an outcome, is still about giving yourself closure."

Chen Nuanhan smiled and extended her hand to him: "How about a handshake, friend? Your excellence has taught me a lot too. Next time I’m on a business trip to Guang, you’ll handle the arrangements."

Graceful and composed, she gave Li Dinghao plenty of face while also making it easy for the audience to accept. Classy, truly classy.

Xiao Liz, being a smart man, gave a relieved smile and lightly shook hands with Chen Nuanhan: "It would be my honor."

And with that, the romantic atmosphere was completely dissipated.

What followed was a sincere conversation between friends.

"Warm Sister, what’s your impression of this show? Did you have a good time these past days?"

"Of course. It’s been the most interesting vacation I’ve ever had."

"Same here. I feel like it wasn’t a waste coming here."

Chen Nuanhan suddenly smirked mischievously: "The truth? Honestly, I think you never quite found your footing."

"Huh? Uh... okay, yeah, I really wasn’t used to it. Looking back now, I see I made so many dumb mistakes. But this experience has been rare, genuinely."

Xiao Liz was a little flustered, but the atmosphere now felt more like a natural chat between friends.

Chen Nuanhan, like a big sister, reassured him: "With seventy or eighty cameras firing at you from all angles, unless you’ve done adaptability training or have a performative personality, a normal person’s behavior is bound to be off. Don’t take the online criticism to heart. You’re just carrying too heavy a burden."

Her words struck a chord with Xiao Liz: "True. I know I don’t need to, but the pressure just feels massive. It ties me up completely."

"Same here. Honestly, I get nervous too."

"Huh, you could’ve fooled me." Xiao Liz’s mindset leveled out; he even joked, "Warm Sister, you give off the vibe that you’re just playing around on this show..."

"Thick-skinned, don’t care if people curse at me."

Chen Nuanhan laughed heartily: "Liking someone is the one thing that demands utmost sincerity to yourself. If they’re expecting me to dish out some synthetic ’industrial saccharin,’ they’ll be disappointed."

As soon as "industrial saccharin" left her lips, it instantly trended online.

Heartbeat 7 wrapped up: six pairs of guests became five; only Chen Nuanhan and Xiao Liz remained single. To the audience, their "sweet moments" felt just-for-show, a bit fake.

The bullet comments exploded—

"OMG! Warm Sister really went there..."

"Warm Sister doesn’t care at all."

"Legendary!"

"This is what a real big-lead-female looks like. Clear likes and dislikes, living freely."

"She can just say ’industrial saccharin’ like that? The production team must be fuming! LOL."

"The fact that the show aired this? Mind-blowing."

"Confirmed, even Tencent doesn’t dare offend Warm Sister."

"Xiao Liz really isn’t on Warm Sister’s level— not in scope or charisma."

"Being true to herself— how is she so cool! Ugh, I’m utterly in love."

"Now I’m even more curious about her Tianyi Male God. How handsome and amazing must he be to stay on Warm Sister’s mind?"

"Is it possible that your Warm Sister became the woman she is today by following in someone’s footsteps?"

"No way!"

"Seriously, dig a little deeper, you’ll find out. The internet remembers everything."

The internet does, indeed, remember everything.

When Chen Nuanhan first became known, photos of her selling sour plum juice at the cafeteria window resurfaced. Then came pictures from the school athletic meet, where she held the placard, and later, from her graduation ceremony...

Netizens scoured every trace, trying to piece together evidence of a "former boyfriend," but in all the photos, no man ever appeared by Chen Nuanhan’s side.

Only a few sparse lines of text hinted at the existence of someone significant during her youth.

"Loneliness isn’t innate; it begins the moment you truly sense the presence of love."

"Our definition of jerks is too shallow."

"Often, after accidentally learning certain things, I act indifferent and laugh hysterically on the surface. But deep down, it hurts more than anything."

"The moon was once there, illuminating the returning clouds."

"Inner demons, inner demons, inner demons."

...

Chen Nuanhan wasn’t a particularly poetic woman. She didn’t write many such melancholic lines, and their timestamps spanned an extensive period. But upon reflection, they were compelling.

Still, Su Huai had no time to ponder over her. The wedding was near, and the groom was extremely busy.

But on the eve of his wedding, Gu sent a voice message: "Nuannuan wants to know if she can ask you a few questions. I said yes— you should go."

Su Huai froze in his tracks, paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay. I understand."
