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

Half an hour later, a sumptuous meal of four dishes and a soup was served: tomato and beef brisket soup, teriyaki mushrooms, cilantro beef, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, and a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables. Each dish was brightly colored and exuded a rich, homey atmosphere.

The two sat facing each other, eating quietly.

Gu Jinxing's cooking skills were unexpectedly good. The seasoning was just right, preserving the freshness of the ingredients while enhancing the texture.

"How does it taste?" Gu Jinxing asked casually, but his gaze was fixed on Bai Nianchu's expression.

Bai Nianchu nodded: "Very good."

Gu Jinxing paused slightly, his smile growing even gentler.

After the meal, Gu Jinxing insisted on washing the dishes again.

Bai Nianchu stood to the side, watching the water wash over his well-defined hands, when she suddenly heard him slowly open his mouth, "Will you blame me for what happened today?"

"?" Bai Nianchu paused for a moment before asking, "Brother Jinxing, are you referring to Xu Muyang?"

"...Hmm." Gu Jinxing turned off the tap, dried his hands, and turned to face her.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, churning with a multitude of complex and unfathomable emotions.

"Xiao Chu," Gu Jinxing smiled faintly, trying his best to appear relaxed, "I know you might think I'm overprotective. But I really regret what happened at the store last time, for not having someone protect you sooner."

"I know you're skilled and don't need my protection. But... I want to eliminate any potential threat or danger that could harm you."

"I want to protect you, regardless of how strong you are, simply because it's you."

Bai Nianchu lowered her eyelids: "I understand."

"Xiao Chu, I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you..."

"You don't have to be so independent," Gu Jinxing sighed. "You can criticize me, scold me, get angry with me, and you can also act cute and make all sorts of demands on me. I just want you to rely on me more and get closer to me, okay?"

Towards the end, it was almost a plea.

Bai Nianchu remained silent for a long while before softly uttering a single word: "Okay."

Gu Jinxing smiled, a smile that carried an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

He reached out and, as he wished, touched her hair, gently stroking it.

"Good girl."

Bai Nianchu: "..."

How exactly did you perceive "well-behaved" from her expressionless face?

"It's almost time, I should go."

Gu Jinxing instructed, "I've checked your luggage for H City, it should be complete. I'll also be on vacation on the island for those seven days, I'll come see you when I have time. Be careful during filming, and call me anytime if anything happens, anytime is fine."

Gu Jinxing wasn't the type to keep his itinerary a secret and then suddenly appear at the destination just to surprise the other person.

This kind of thing is only a surprise for people who like each other.

Otherwise, it would be similar to frightening or harassing someone.

Bai Nianchu nodded.

She didn't react much to the fact that he was coming.

However, for Gu Jinxing, neither opposing nor rejecting the idea was the best response.

As he walked her to the door, Gu Jinxing suddenly turned around and said, "Can I have one last hug?"

Gu Jinxing deliberately lowered his voice, the last syllable soft and gentle, carrying a tender and lingering aftertaste.

This was already his most restrained and gentlest tone.

Bai Nianchu nodded in agreement and was pulled into the man's arms.

Gu Jinxing's embrace was very tight, almost completely trapping her in his arms.

Bai Nianchu's cheek was pressed against his bulging chest, and even through a layer of clothing, she could clearly feel his steady and powerful heartbeat hitting her ear one after another.

Taking advantage of Bai Nianchu's inability to see, Gu Jinxing lowered his head slightly and placed a kiss on her hair.

The kiss was as light as a butterfly's wing, just a light touch, before it quietly receded.

He thought no one would know.

Bai Nianchu would never know.

In fact, the system was already screaming in her ear:

[Host, ahhhhhh!]

Bai Nianchu: '?'

Where did this screaming chicken come from?

System: [Gu Jinxing secretly kissed your hair! Ahhhhh! He's doing something inappropriate to the host! Ahhhhhh!]

Bai Nianchu: '...'

Bai Nianchu: "I can feel it, stop arguing."

System: [Ahhhhhh!]

Ok.

The host is good to me in every way.

She's just too calm.

The sky in H City is always clear and bright.

The sea breeze, carrying a faint salty scent, swept across the entire island. Beneath my feet lay fine sand at just the right temperature, and the seawater was a crystal-clear blue, with waves rolling in with white edges, lapping against the shoreline again and again.

Blue sky, beach, coconut groves...

Standing here listening to the sound of the waves, even time seems to slow down.

The show "Heartbeat House" premiered on time, and viewers were incredibly excited to see the new map and scenery.

[Finally, the last week of our trip has arrived!]

The islands in H City are so beautiful! They look so inviting.

[For the past few weeks, I've been watching them go to and from get off work every day, and then rush off to their dates. It's really worn me out as a working stiff (＞＜)]

Finally, we can watch their live streams from morning till night!

[Strike hard, get inside! A battlefield of carnage, get inside! Get everyone inside!!]

[Where are the guests coming in one by one? Hurry, hurry, I'm King Gigi!]

The comment section was right.

The ten guests appeared one by one.

The order is exactly the same as on the first day.

The first couple to appear were Su Yi'an and Ye Siyao.

Ye Siyao wore a light blue ruffled dress, the hem swaying gently as she walked. Her eyes and brows were pure and clean, and she seemed to radiate a soft glow as she stood there.

Su Yi'an walked over with her, her shirt sleeves rolled up to her forearms, a faint smile on her lips, her whole demeanor as gentle and soothing as a spring breeze.

The two of them are recognized as a gentle man and a gentle woman in the live broadcast room. Their appearance together is refreshing and healing, and they are an extremely pleasing sight on the island.

Wow, wow, a day apart feels like three autumns! So this is what it feels like~ (✧∇✧)

The female lead is so beautiful! The male lead is so handsome!

They really have the faces of campus sweethearts... Damn, I wish I could live with a face like that too!

The second couple to appear were Jiang Meng and Lin Zhao.

Jiang Meng wore a floral halter top and high-waisted shorts, her hair was tied in a bun, and her eyes sparkled when she smiled, like a soft cotton candy.

Lin Zhao wore a light gray short-sleeved shirt made of ice silk, revealing his well-defined arm muscles. He was tall and straight, with deep and cold eyes, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay from head to toe.

[Those who like sweet girls are in luck, like me.]

[So cute! Let Mommy give you a kiss!!]

Why does the second male lead seem even more pretentious? His hairstyle has to be a side-swept slick, his shirt is a Dior haute couture runway piece worth hundreds of thousands, and his watch is a Patek Philippe limited edition collectible worth tens of millions. There isn't a single accessory on him worth less than ten thousand yuan.

[Strong: I didn't try to look handsome on purpose; some charisma is just innate!]
