Sebastian instinctively led Scarlett Jennings forward, the photographer beside them following closely.
The two who had just entered the door hadn’t yet reacted, and the moment they saw the camera, their faces seemed to flash with panic. Instinctively, they covered their faces and tried to hide.
[Uh, what’s happening? Hiding from the camera?]
[I get it, some people don’t like facing cameras. They instinctively dodge even those street interviews.]
[Ah, I’m the same way. Don’t ask. If you do, it’s because of social anxiety!]
[This is perfectly normal.]
The viewers in the livestream were very understanding, and Sebastian assumed the two didn’t like the camera either. But, for the sake of the show’s task, he bit the bullet and went forward to speak.
"Hello, we’re filming a variety show and need a couple to join us in a task. Are you available?"
Sebastian didn’t expect that, the moment he said this, the pair, who had been intimately linked, separated as if electrified. The man even refused curtly in irritation,
"Not available! Find someone else!"
As the man spoke, he was about to leave. But having just found a real couple, Sebastian was unwilling to give up and wanted to speak again.
Scarlett suddenly interjected, interrupting him, "No need to ask, they won’t agree."
As she spoke, her bright eyes swept over the pair, her tone seemingly suggestive,
"After all, they’re not really a couple."
Sebastian hadn’t processed it yet. Could they be married, given their earlier intimate demeanor?
The next second, the pair, who had been hiding their faces, visibly panicked upon hearing Scarlett’s words. The man even exclaimed angrily,
"Are you done?! Stop filming!"
With that, as if not wanting to linger, he pushed the woman next to him and hurriedly left, not even entering the inn.
Seeing their obviously guilty reactions, Sebastian felt as if something suddenly clicked, though he was somewhat incredulous.
The audience before their screens also sensed something amiss.
[Even if it’s inconvenient, do they have to run away? It’s not like Scarlett and Sebastian are some kind of threat!]
[They have the right not to participate. The production team can’t force them to be on camera, right?]
[Am I the only one who finds that couple a bit odd?]
[Guys! Why do I feel that couple’s leaving with guilty consciences?]
[Stop your speculation! That’s a bold assumption!]
[Wow, could it be what I’m thinking?]
[I have to admit, that’s bold.]
[What are you all on about? Aren’t they just a normal couple?]
[Screw that! Just now, that man was my husband and my best friend!!! Saying he’s on a business trip was all a lie!]
The last comment appeared suddenly, vividly expressing its anger.
The livestream comments paused momentarily, and after realizing, almost everyone started frantically sending shocked and gossip-eating emojis.
[What?! Is it really that exciting?!]
[Cheating caught live in front of the whole internet!!!]
[This reminds me of that big revelation a while back by a certain street photographer...]
[No wonder they looked so guilty, secretly sneaking out behind the wife’s back??]
