Victor: I’m home.

MC: Victor, let’s play a game!

Victor: ….you played all day long. Still haven’t had enough fun?

Victor: If you put that kind of energy into something else….

MC: Okay! Okay! Shh!

MC: Today is the Double Seventh Festival, isn’t it….

Victor: What’s the game?

MC: The Qixi Festival Q&A 2.0! 20 rapid Q&As!

Victor: Continue.

MC: You’ve to figure out the answer I’ve got in my mind, and you have 20 questions to do so.

MC: But I will answer your questions only either in “yes” or “no.”

Victor: So I will win if I figure out what you’re thinking and I’ve got 20 questions or less to do so?

MC: Yes~ But since you definitely know me extraordinarily well, I think 20 questions are too easy for you.

MC: I’m reducing it by half. You get ten questions!

Victor: You’re that confident?

MC: Isn’t it true!

Victor: Go on then. What’s the reward for winning?

MC: If you win, how about I grant you a Double Seventh Festival wish! And if I win, you grant mine~

Victor: I will fight for my wish myself.

MC: Mr. Boss, please cooperate a little!

Victor: What’s your wish?

MC: That’s yet to be decided. I’ll tell you when I’ve thought of it.

Victor: How do we take precautions against you tampering with the answer you’ve got in your mind at the last moment?

MC: In your heart, you really think I’m someone who’d cheat!

Victor: Don’t you know that better in your own heart?

MC: ….hmph. Then I’ll privately post a picture of it in my Moments and send you the screenshot later, okay?

MC: I’m done posting! Time is the best testimony!

Victor: Let’s get started then.

Victor: Number one. Is it edible?

MC: Nope. Hey, isn’t it a bit much to ask this question right off the bat!

Victor: Number two. Can it be touched?

MC: Yes.

Victor: Number three. Does it belong to you?

MC: ….no.

Victor: Number four. Have you seen it today?

MC: Yes.

Victor: ….

MC: [singing happily thinking he wouldn’t be able to figure it out when he already knows LOL]  Hmmm.

Victor: Number five. Is it warm?

MC: ….yes.

Victor: [laughs softly]

MC: Wh-why are you laughing….

Victor: Number six. Is it an electrical appliance?

MC: No.

Victor: Number seven. Is it something you want to have?

MC: Uhh….

Victor: What’s the answer?

MC: [much more dots than usual LOL]  ………yes.

Victor: Number eight. Is it something you’d rely on?

MC: ……….yes. Cough cough. Are sure you don’t want to ask something else? You’ve got only two chances left, so make them count.

Victor: The last question.

MC: How come it’s the last one? Don’t be so overconfident like that~

Victor: Number nine. This is something you like the most in the world.

MC: ….I’m a bit sleepy. It’s getting late. Let’s let our Double Seventh Festival quietly drop the curtain.

Victor: It’s too late for that.

Victor: I’ve already sent you the answer. Six letters.

Victor: Send me the screenshot. Don’t try to escape, and don’t think of reneging on the deal.

Victor: Also, the third question…. you were wrong.

[Personal Notes]: What I love about this call is that it’s in the earliest phase of their relationship. Victor knew surely that MC’s answer is “Victor” right at the moment she goes silent for a bit before answering his 3rd question. Then he tries to test the waters with the 4th and 5th question. Sensing how MC is getting increasingly embarrassed, he immediately lightens the mood with the 6th question. Then, he throws the most crucial ones of all. The 7th, 8th and 9th question. Even though he knows the answers to these questions already, he still makes sure that MC is clear about what she wants and he is not reading things wrong. I JUST LOVE HOW HE HANDLES THE ENTIRE SITUATION. Plus, look at how far we have come.... we went from this to MC declaring “He is mine and only mine” and  “ 我爱李泽言!”, and even proposing to him herself, two times (one duet and one solo)~  🥺
