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

It's a foregone conclusion that Chen Yuze will choose Bai Nianchu.

No one showed any surprise.

The director was somewhat frustrated, but thinking about what was about to be announced, a smile returned to his lips. "Now, let's add one more rule—"

"The selected female guest needs to choose another male guest for a 'relay dinner.' After dinner, the female guest needs to choose one of the two male guests to go to the love house specially prepared by the production team to spend the night together."

The scene erupted in uproar.

The shock was plain to be seen on everyone's face.

Xu Muyang's expression was particularly complex.

At first, he was just like the other male guests, secretly pleased with such a "generous" reward, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

But when he thought about his incredibly bad luck, that bit of happiness vanished like sand blown away by the wind.

Xu Muyang was 99% certain that this "love house" thing was definitely not going to happen to him.

The female guest also looked incredulous: "Spending the night together...it doesn't mean sleeping in the same bed, does it?"

The director laughed it off, saying, "I can't reveal that for now."

"Now, the other male guests can take turns having a private conversation with Teacher Bai to express their desire to be the one to take over. Each person has a time limit of fifteen minutes."

You can have dinner with them, and there's even a chance to spend the night alone in the cabin...

How could they let such an opportunity slip by?

Apart from Chen Yuze, all the other men walked towards Bai Nianchu.

Chen Yuze: "..."

Chen Yuze was furious!

"It's all part of the show's routine, so don't be too upset," Liu Zhiwei comforted him. "Even if there's another option, Nianchu's first choice will still be you. After all, you were the hero of tonight's date, so it's only reasonable for her to choose you to go to Love House."

Otherwise, it would be too clownish... no, too tragic, to have to give up the person you like after working so hard to beat four men for a date.

"That's not necessarily true," Wen Shanshan said with a smile. "Perhaps one of them had a good conversation and impressed Bai Nianchu."

Chen Yuze: "..."

Chen Yuze's face looked even worse.

[OMG, someone please feel sorry for this fifth male lead...]

The production team really went all out this time, even coming up with a "relay dinner" and a "love nest"!

[If you enjoy this, please include more adult-oriented storylines!]

The scene then shifts to Bai Nianchu's side.

Xu Muyang was the first to rush to her side.

It was still the kind of car that charged recklessly, almost knocking other people flying.

"Nianchu, talk to me first," Xu Muyang said, blinking his blue eyes.

"Okay." Bai Nianchu nodded and walked alongside him.

The others remained where they were, watching their every move from a distance, as if they were being stalked.

Xu Muyang initially encountered some difficulties.

In addition, his skin was thin, so even a little bit of blush could not be hidden and was very obviously displayed on his body - from the side of his neck to the roots of his ears, the area was soaked in crimson, like a freshly steamed red glutinous rice ball.

Those who like him will find him cute, while those who don't will find him annoying and indecisive.

However, Bai Nianchu did not find it offensive.

"Take your time."

The cool, clear voice struck Xu Muyang's eardrums and also penetrated his heart.

Xu Muyang slowly relaxed, rubbing the tip of his nose, and said, "Nianchu... I wonder if you already have someone in mind. If not, could you consider me?"

"I know I'm not the best, and my performance today was terrible. I couldn't beat them in either strength or skill." Xu Muyang smiled, not feeling ashamed at all, and spoke frankly as usual. "However, when it comes to sincerity, I won't lose."

"Anyway... no matter who you choose, I'll be here."

"After all, waiting is what I'm best at," Xu Muyang said.

He thought to himself, "I like you too."

Bai Nianchu nodded: "I will consider it."

Xu Muyang's mood improved considerably, and he winked at her.

"Then I'll go call the next person over. You stay seated and don't move."

Walking around in the blazing sun is such a hassle! Bai Nianchu didn't feel the heat; in fact, he felt sorry for him.

Following him was Su Yi'an.

Unlike Xu Muyang, Su Yi'an didn't immediately launch into a long-winded explanation like "Please consider me, okay?"

He has a good understanding of his current position—not the best, but better than the worst.

Compared to others, Su Yi'an couldn't match Chen Yuze's direct approach, nor could she match Ling Yan's unique temperament and attractiveness. Compared to others, there was Lin Zhao at the very bottom.

He estimated that his popularity with Bai Nianchu was about the same as Xu Muyang's.

Therefore, this opportunity to choose one out of four will most likely fall to Ling Yan.

In addition, his observation of Bai Nianchu was quite thorough, and he discovered that she had a habit: when it came to dating, sending letters, and selecting people, she would assign tasks according to their work.

Investment trusts will invest in the people they contact most that day, and they will select the best performers of the day.

A very fair, just, and transparent reward.

That's why Su Yi'an concluded that Ling Yan would be the one to take over the dinner tonight.

Because the opponent was the last person to be eliminated in today's wrestling match, he came in second place.

Returning to her senses, Su Yi'an, adhering to her usual style, first spoke a few words of concern to Bai Nianchu in a gentle tone. Once their conversation had slowed and the atmosphere was just right, she casually mentioned her desire to have dinner with her.

"It's just a small expectation," Su Yi'an said with a smile, "I hope you'll consider me when you're thinking about who to invite."

Bai Nianchu pursed her lips: "Okay."

If Bai Nianchu had the ability to read minds, she would probably look at Su Yi'an differently.

Because he is indeed exceptionally intelligent, many of his guesses and opinions are correct.

The third person to come and chat with her was Ling Yan.

The comment section watched him remain silent for a long time, just sitting and looking at the scenery with Bai Nianchu, and they all fell silent as well.

They're like a bunch of gourds with sawed mouths, only caring about their own peaceful lives and not caring about the lives of the audience outside the screen.

Ling Yan remained silent for a long time.

Then she suddenly said, "I'm wearing the necklace today too."

Just before taking off his shirt to go to the competition, he took off the necklace that Bai Nianchu had given him.

I'm afraid that in the chaos, it might be torn or damaged by certain people.

After finishing the competition, he put on his clothes, washed the fine sand off his hands, and then took the necklace out of his pocket and put it back on.

Ling Yan said these things not to remind Bai Nianchu of anything.

He just wanted to say...

He has always been very well-behaved.

The child, wearing the collar, would simply dart around her.

So, is it a good idea to choose him?

Bai Nianchu understood the meaning in his eyes and responded faintly.

The comment section fell even quieter:

What are those two saying to each other, meowing and purring?

[He only came over and said one sentence, Hagiyan.]

Can the Riddler get out of Gotham? (smirking)

Just when everyone thought Lin Zhao wouldn't come, he bypassed Ling Yan and stopped in front of Bai Nianchu, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Nianchu," his deep voice seemed to hold a myriad of thoughts, "let's talk."
