While waiting in the traffic jam, Xu Fan drifted off to sleep, leaning against the bed. He didn't even realize when the traffic jam ended.

At this moment, the guests in the hotel looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.

The comments section also shifted from initial praise for her brother to impatience.

"What's going on? It's not starting yet! We've been waiting for twenty minutes!"

"Speechless. Who's the last person? Such a big shot, arriving late right at the start!"

"I think her name is Xu Fan. I've seen her promotional photos, and she's terribly ugly... I don't know how she was chosen, maybe it's because of family connections..."

Gradually, the criticism shifted entirely to Xu Fan. The director was surprised to see everyone criticizing Xu Fan, but at least he had gained viewership and buzz!

So he doesn't intend to explain the traffic jam.

The criticism grew louder and louder. It all started when someone said that Xu Fan was acting like a diva, and the comments section was full of people saying that Xu Fan was acting like a diva.

It even trended on social media, with the hashtag #XuFanActsHigh# reaching the 30s on the trending list, and viewers were all wondering who this Xu Fan was.

The guests were getting a little impatient waiting inside, but thankfully the air conditioning was on so it wasn't hot. However, since not everyone was present, the director wouldn't let them introduce themselves, which was a bit awkward.

The van swayed and bumped its way to its destination. The driver reminded Xu Fan, "Mr. Xu, please go in quickly. The director just called to say you're already several tens of minutes late, and the live broadcast is on right now!"

Xu Fan was still half asleep when he heard these words and suddenly woke up. He had actually been late on the first day, which must have left a bad impression on others.

After getting off the bus, he went straight to the hotel. When he arrived at the venue, panting, he found four handsome men looking at him.

Upon seeing him, they all stood up; after waiting for so long, it could finally begin.

At this moment, each of the four men had their own thoughts.

Although they had already seen the poster, they were still curious about the only non-celebrity guest.

Pei Yin: "Wow, did the director run out of money and just pick someone off the street?"

Wen Jingqian: "You can't judge a book by its cover..."

Ji Yuzhi: "Holy crap, what's with this hairstyle? It's hilarious! Is he cosplaying Big Head Son? I'm dying of laughter! Where did the director find this weirdo?!"

Lin Ke: "The poster was photoshopped before, so it wasn't very clear, but it really is him..."

However, they all disguised their true thoughts very well, showing polite smiles and nodding to Xu Fan in greeting.

Xu Fan looked at the handsome men in front of him. They were all either exquisite or handsome, but he was not good-looking at all.

Suddenly, he met Lin Ke's gaze. Upon seeing his face, Xu Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

He quickly recognized Lin Ke as his high school classmate and knew about how Lin Ke had bothered others and been cursed by his classmates and schoolmates when he had episodes of illness in high school.

The trouble he had caused others before had taught him a harsh lesson. Since his rebirth, he had tried his best not to think about those things. Whenever he did, his head would ache, and even his body would ache, as if he had returned to the time when he was scolded and beaten.

He was a little scared and quickly lowered his head, hiding his face behind his huge black-rimmed glasses. However, they all looked very friendly, and it would be impolite not to greet them.

Despite his fear, he still greeted them: "Hello, my name is Xu Fan, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a junior at Imperial University..."

With everyone present, the self-introduction session could finally begin, and the others started introducing themselves.

Lin Ke cleared her throat:

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Ke. Like Xu Fan, I am a college student and also a new actor."

Xu Fan was initially quite nervous when he heard his name called, fearing that Lin Ke would tell the people here about his high school days. However, after listening to his self-introduction and realizing that Lin Ke hadn't mentioned it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Lin Ke. She was such a good person. He remembered that Lin Ke was the only classmate who had never cursed him.

After Lin Ke finished introducing himself, he noticed that Xu Fan was staring intently at him.

He couldn't understand what Xu Fan was doing. Xu Fan's staring at him made him feel a little annoyed. He was in the same class as Xu Fan in high school and had heard some things about Xu Fan. He was also the witness to Xu Fan's deskmate Gu Linyuan cursing Xu Fan in the classroom. He respected every orientation, but he hated perverts.

Because of his own character, he never joined the bandwagon in criticizing Xu Fan; he only disliked him in his heart. When the program released its poster, Xu Fan looked somewhat familiar, and he immediately recognized him as the pervert from his high school class who liked to harass others. However, the photo differed somewhat from his memory of Xu Fan, so he couldn't be sure.

Now that he'd gotten a closer look at him, and seeing Xu Fan staring at him, could it be that this pervert had turned his attention to him? After all, it wasn't that he was narcissistic; his face was indeed very handsome, and he was quite satisfied with his appearance.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Ke looked at Xu Fan with a hint of disgust and disdain.

Xu Fan saw that the person who had just been introducing himself so gently suddenly revealed the look in his beautiful eyes that he knew best—the look that only appeared when others looked down on him.

He quickly looked away; sure enough, he was still disliked.

Lin Ke also looked away, hoping that this pervert wouldn't harass him on the show, or he'd be in trouble.

The camera only captured the moment Xu Fan looked at Lin Ke; his thick glasses covered his eyes, and the camera couldn't capture the emotions in his eyes at all.

Netizens only know that Xu Fan was looking towards Lin Ke and kept staring at her. With his choppy hair, white shirt, and black jogger pants, he looked exactly like a pervert.

The live chat immediately filled with insults.

"This Xu... uh, I think his name is Xu Fan? Why is he staring at my Keke like that!"

"Acting like a diva on the very first day, what kind of good person could he be..."

"He looks like a total nerd. Look how beautiful our Keke is! If he keeps looking, I'll gouge his eyes out!"

Following that, the other guests also began to introduce themselves.

Bae Eun hummed a song he released during his time in a limited-time group, then flashed the standard idol smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Bae Eun from the former boy group SEREIN, now a solo artist. I'm very happy to be here on this show."

Upon hearing Pei Yin's self-introduction, comments flooded the screen:

"Waaaaah, our Yinbao really has a strong sense of team spirit! Even after disbanding, he still remembered to mention his old group!"

"Ugh, my little group, why is it a limited-time group?!"

"The group has disbanded; we're focusing on Pei Yin personally!"

Next was Wen Jingqian, whose self-introduction was very brief:

"Hello everyone, I am actor Wen Jingqian."

He is a man of few words, born into a scholarly family. As a child, he was selected by a talent scout to star in a movie by a famous director because of his exquisite appearance, which brought him into the public eye. He has won many awards, both big and small, and is a veteran actor.

"Hello everyone, guests and viewers! I'm Ji Yuzhi. I love playing with kids and hope to get along well with them."

As Ji Yuzhi spoke, he flicked his motorcycle jacket, which he used to show off.

In fact, Chi Yu-Chih is a real devil at home. He is obsessed with motorcycles and loves all kinds of extreme sports. He is unruly at home, with a bad temper and easy anger. His family thinks that taking care of children will make him more gentle and responsible, so they took the initiative to contact the director to sign up for the role.

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, an old man in a floral shirt appeared.

"Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce myself first. I'm the host of this program, and also your representative. You can call me Lao Hu. I'll be accompanying you throughout the rest of the program. Okay, now that our 'dads' have been introduced, it's time for our adorable kids to make their appearance!"

Unlike the "dads" who took promotional photos before the show aired, the adorable kids didn't reveal any photos throughout the show, maintaining an air of mystery. The "dads" stared intently at Lao Hu, afraid of missing a single word he uttered, because they were also curious and looking forward to seeing what kind of kids the production team would bring in.

"However..." Old Hu kept everyone in suspense at the crucial moment.

"But what! Tell me!" Ji Yuzhi urged impatiently.

"Don't rush!" Old Hu said, and the staff behind him brought over five boxes and placed them on the table.

"These five boxes contain the children's favorite items. Each dad, please choose one item. The child whose item you choose will become your partner for the next five days on the show!"
