Romance Variety Show: The aloof and beautiful fourth female lead is always coveted.

Gu Jinxing did not remain silent for long.

He knew that if he didn't speak first, Bai Nianchu wouldn't speak either.

But sometimes, when he met Bai Nianchu's clear black eyes, he felt as if she could see right through him, as if the hidden emotions in her eyes, along with the unspoken thoughts in his heart, could not escape her notice.

...Perhaps it's just an illusion.

Gu Jinxing tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on her suitcase. His gentle, magnetic voice was soothing to hear, "Xiao Chu, shall I help you pack for tomorrow?"

Bai Nianchu glanced at him, puzzled. "No need, the maid's room is right next door."

Gu Jinxing: "..."

He discovered that Bai Nianchu was indeed very straightforward in her speech.

There was absolutely no room for maneuver, and no way to back down.

He just happens to like this kind of personality; he finds it aloof yet endearing.

"No need to call her." Gu Jin took a step closer, his voice lowering. "Xiao Chu, I just want to spend a little more time with you, is that alright?"

The man had broad shoulders and a broad chest, making Bai Nianchu appear slender and petite in his presence.

But when he spoke to Bai Nianchu, he would bend down slightly, lowering his body to accommodate her height. His gaze was equally earnest and focused, carrying a hint of sincerity that was not hard to detect.

The system exclaimed "Wow!"

Bai Nianchu: '?'

The system said: [Host, don't you think Gu Jinxing is a bit... awful?]

Bai Nianchu: Which one?

The system chuckled: "Very Daddy."

Bai Nianchu: '...'

Her gaze fell on Gu Jinxing.

She has broad shoulders, a large chest, and a pert bottom. Her smooth facial features are as perfect as if sculpted from marble, and she also has a slightly less noticeable chin and buttocks.

He certainly exudes the charm of a mature man.

"Xiao Chu?" Gu Jinxing was still pleading.

Bai Nianchu remained silent for two seconds before finally nodding.

It's just packing my luggage.

Since he loves tidying up so much, let him be.

Gu Jinxing curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.

He moved swiftly, taking off his suit jacket to reveal a vest and a white shirt that accentuated his sharp shoulder lines. Then, he slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the smooth lines of his forearms.

This is the kind of even muscle texture that comes from years of fitness training.

In the following time, Gu Jinxing showed extraordinary thoughtfulness: he helped Bai Nianchu take the clothes out of her suitcase, hung them in the closet in categories, neatly folded the summer clothes and swimsuits she had chosen into the suitcase one by one, and also found sunscreen, sun protection clothing, and sun protection hat for her. He also packed two pairs of beach sandals, filling the suitcase to the brim.

He also packed sunburn cream, burn cream, band-aids, stomach medicine, and pain relief spray for sprains and bruises separately into the inner bag of his suitcase.

It took only forty minutes to finish tidying up.

"Alright, we'll talk about anything we need when we get there."

"Thank you, Brother Jinxing," Bai Nianchu said.

"No need to thank me." Gu Jinxing smiled, raised his hand halfway, then pretended to lower it as if nothing had happened.

Gu Jinxing thought, "Xiao Chu looks so cute when she says thank you."

Just now... I almost reached out and ruffled her hair.

"I'm a little hungry. Where's Xiao Chu?"

"fine."

Gu Jinxing said softly, "Is there any food left in the refrigerator? I'll cook you a meal."

Bai Nianchu shook her head: "The auntie cleaned it up while we were filming the show."

"I remember there's a supermarket right next door," Gu Jinxing said. "Shall we go together?"

Bai Nianchu pursed her lips, wondering whether or not to refuse.

Gu Jinxing lowered his head again, looking at her silently with pleading eyes.

Bai Nianchu: "..."

They ended up going out together anyway.

*

There weren't many people in the supermarket at lunchtime.

Gu Jinxing pushed the shopping cart, and Bai Nianchu walked beside him. The atmosphere between the two was just right and harmonious.

However, what troubled Gu Jinxing a little was that Bai Nianchu's face was too outstanding.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like stars in the dark night, her skin like morning dew on snow, and her temperament was aloof and ethereal, attracting many people's attention.

Almost every few steps, a rich young man passing by would come up and strike up a conversation.

"Hey pretty girl, can I add you on WeChat?"

Gu Jinxing: "She won't add it."

"Pretty little sister"? How can he call someone "little sister"?

As soon as Gu Jinxing rejected one, another jumped out, like they were lining up.

In the end, having no other choice, Gu Jinxing came up with a crooked idea.

"Xiao Chu, I'm sorry you had to go through this." He apologized softly first, then said to Bai Nianchu, "Take my arm and let's go. That way, they won't bother us."

I kept getting hit on, so I couldn't walk more than a few steps.

Bai Nianchu paused for a moment, then took his arm.

Gu Jinxing swallowed lightly, a smile playing on his lips.

This method did indeed work.

After pretending to be a couple, fewer people approached them.

When Gu Jinxing was selecting dishes, he did not ask about the foods his "sister" liked in his memory. Instead, he tried to guess what kind of food Bai Nianchu liked by observing her eyes, and then asked Bai Nianchu for her opinion.

Gu Jinxing: "Do you like this brand of pasta? Or this one?"

Bai Nianchu: "The first one."

Gu Jinxing: "Do you want white mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms?"

Bai Nianchu: "Shiitake mushrooms."

Gu Jinxing: "This brand of beef is delicious, would you like to try some?"

Bai Nianchu: "Mm."

Gu Jinxing: "What kind of dessert does Xiao Chu like? Would you like pudding?"

Bai Nianchu: "Yes, I want the mango flavor."

The shopping cart gradually filled with ingredients: fresh vegetables, high-quality beef and pork tenderloin, marinade seasonings, and several boxes of mango pudding that Bai Nianchu wanted to eat.

The system clicked its tongue in amazement: "[28 years old is indeed an age for caring people; the choices are all things the host likes.]"

Bai Nianchu's eyes flickered slightly, clearly sensing something.

Indeed, the foods that Gu Jinxing bought were not the types of food that the original owner usually ate.

It's what she likes.

Back home, Gu Jinxing put on an apron—a light pink apron that Bai Nianchu had prepared for the maids in the kitchen. It looked a bit cramped on his tall frame, but the man didn't seem to care at all, skillfully handling the ingredients.

Bai Nianchu leaned against the door frame, quietly watching him.

Gu Jinxing's movements were methodical and efficient. He was skilled at chopping vegetables and controlled the heat perfectly when stir-frying. Under the light, Gu Jinxing's focused profile looked exceptionally warm, a stark contrast to his earlier punching in the living room.

A mature, composed, and controlling demeanor intertwined with gentleness, along with boundless indulgence and pampering of those she cares about…

The system was right before.

Gu Jinxing has a strong "Daddy" vibe.

To outsiders, he's a reliable daddy; to his family, he's a caring male mom.

For some reason, Bai Nianchu's gaze gradually drifted downwards.

It landed below Gu Jinxing's narrowed waist—

The lines of his buttocks are noticeably more perky and the contours are more rounded and firm than those of the average man.

...It looks and feels great.

Bai Nianchu pursed her lips, suppressing this inappropriate thought.
