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

The water rippled, and the red and pink rose petals on the surface swayed gently.

A few petals were gently pushed by the water flow to Bai Nianchu's chest, softly resting on her soft and full curves. Water droplets slid down slowly, leaving a damp, shallow mark on her fair and delicate skin, before silently disappearing into the water.

Chen Yuze's gaze followed the few petals and the drop of water, and his heart swayed and fluttered along with them.

Dazzled by the white expanse, Chen Yuze abruptly looked away.

I looked at the shimmering sea and the dark coconut grove, but I dared not look into Bai Nianchu's eyes.

After a long silence, Chen Yuze calmed down and spoke softly, "Actually, I did think you would choose Ling Yan."

Bai Nianchu remained silent; this was an unspoken truth between them.

"I can see that you have a special feeling for Ling Yan..." Chen Yuze paused before continuing, "...a very special feeling."

"I also comforted myself by saying that if I try my best to do everything I can, I will be noticed."

Chen Yuze slowly turned his gaze back.

Bai Nianchu suddenly sensed that he was about to say something she wouldn't expect.

Before long, Chen Yuze's low, husky voice came through: "So... you have feelings for me too?"

Chen Yuze has always been braver than others—his previous kiss and words on the balcony were done behind the camera. But this time, he chose to openly reveal his needs in front of the camera and ask her for a response.

Even though he had already received an answer, he still felt insecure.

After all, he had forced that kiss last time.

Chen Yuze admitted... he was really anxious.

The program is only a few days away from its conclusion.

Perhaps he will only meet one girl he likes in his life. If he misses Bai Nianchu, he will probably recall this brief encounter countless times in the long years to come, and then regret and feel sorry for her again and again.

Before Bai Nianchu could answer, Chen Yuze suddenly said out of the blue, "I'm sorry."

Bai Nianchu looked up at him: "Why do you need to apologize?"

Chen Yuze closed his eyes briefly, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness: "What I just said, and what happened on the balcony last time...did I upset you or make you uncomfortable?"

"Just tell me what's making you uncomfortable, okay? I'll change anything you suggest."

No one in the live stream could believe that such words would come from Chen Yuze's mouth.

Chen Yuze has always been flamboyant, arrogant, and full of sharp wit that he can't hide. Wherever he goes, he is the center of attention. They have never seen him bow his head or back down.

At this moment, the emotions surging in Chen Yuze's eyes were all too real: humility, forbearance, and unconcealable pain.

No one expected that this disheveled side of him would be so completely exposed in front of Bai Nianchu.

[Why do I smell a bad ending here? Don't!]

[Waaaaah, why don't the young couple go and commit suicide? There's nothing that can't be solved with a good night's sleep.]

There's a misunderstanding about the tonic! I just want to see your sweet interactions dT-Tb

Ultimately, the fifth guy was probably just afraid that the fourth girl wouldn't like him.

Bai Nianchu: "..."

She was only a beat too slow and didn't have time to reply, so how did this person suddenly kneel down at lightning speed?

They even lowered their posture to the dust.

It was as if her slightest silence could throw him into a panic.

Bai Nianchu sighed softly in her heart, leaned slightly forward, and shortened the distance between them.

"Chen Yuze," she said, opening her mouth, "Do you remember what I said about my ideal type?"

Chen Yuze paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Of course."

"Confident, reliable, with strong execution skills, and an independent personality," Chen Yuze said in a hoarse voice. "How could I forget what you said?"

Bai Nianchu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Back then, didn't you think you were a perfect fit?"

Her standards for a partner or lover have always been simple—loyalty, obedience, and cleanliness.

For Bai Nianchu, being a virgin is her bottom line. Even if she is no longer a virgin, she cannot accept a man who has lost his chastity.

What Chen Yuze said on the balcony last time did indeed touch her slightly.

The first time he picked a girl up from get off work, the first time he cooked for her, the first time he seriously prepared for a date, the first time he carefully selected a gift... and that first kiss that Chen Yuze repeatedly mentioned, insisting that she take responsibility for it.

Oh, and the first time I was touched on the chest.

This also falls within the scope of what he called "a very precious first time".

Chen Yuze paused, then said, "..."

Bai Nianchu's ideal type...

Chen Yuze suddenly felt a sour and astringent feeling in his chest.

At first, he was absolutely certain that the conditions Bai Nianchu mentioned were tailor-made for him. During their dates, he even planned out when they would move in together, get married, buy several houses for their wedding, and where they would go for their honeymoon.

But now, he has become less confident and often feels that he is not good enough for her.

It turns out that liking someone really can make you feel inferior.

"I accept your apology," Bai Nianchu said. "Regarding whether I felt anything..."

She turned her head to look at me: "I thought you could feel it?"

Chen Yuze's heart skipped a beat.

An indescribable joy rose from the bottom of my heart.

When Bai Nianchu looks at someone intently, it truly makes that person drown in her deep and beautiful eyes.

At this moment, he really wanted to hold her hand or ask for a brief kiss.

Chen Yuze moved his lips, as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat, but in the end, only a slightly hoarse syllable came out: "I..."

Bai Nianchu: "What?!"

Chen Yuze: "May I hold your hand?"

The comments section was silent for a moment, then flooded in—

【Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!】

[That straight shot is so satisfying!!]

[Leopard and Cat! I was born just to watch you two fall in love!]

["Want to go stargazing with me?" "Tomorrow's Saturday, would you like to go on a date with me?" "Can I hold your hand?" I'll study every single one of these lines from guy number five! (Note-taking emoji)]

I really love the old saying, "Say 'I love you' out loud." Whether it's romantic love, family love, or friendship, expressing your feelings sincerely and directly is always wonderful.

My boyfriend is a very straightforward person. Long-distance relationships are tough, and we were arguing a lot. I was prepared for a long-term cold war, but then he suddenly said very sincerely, "I just care about you." I never expected it to turn out this way, and I was speechless. The next day, he took a day off, flew over, and waited for me downstairs at my office. We made up.

[Upstairs, it's 99! We, the young couple in our 54s, also want 99!]

It's just holding hands, say yes! Say yes! Say yes!
