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

"Each person has a table and a set of disassembled jigsaw puzzle pieces in front of them. Each puzzle has 200 pieces. The person who finishes the puzzle the fastest can choose a partner and go to a designated location to take photos on an island."

The director, holding a megaphone, announced the rules, emphasizing, "Opposite-sex pairings only!"

Jiang Meng, who was about to ask a question, stopped talking listlessly.

This game is practically targeting her!

Not only can I not take a picture with Bai Nianchu, but I also have to do this stupid jigsaw puzzle.

She can spend an entire afternoon assembling 100 pieces, let alone 200!

She still hasn't opened the jigsaw puzzle gift she received when her career was announced.

Everyone gathered around the table.

Each table had identical blueprints—aerial photographs of the island, showing green mountains, blue seas, and swirling clouds and mist, with various colored blocks, making it look very difficult to draw.

Jiang Meng fell silent: "I mean... these 200 pieces will take forever to make."

Liu Zhiwei was also a bit troubled: "Director, what about the parts that weren't finished?"

The director chuckled and said, "Once four guests finish the challenge first, the four pairs of selected partners won't need to continue. The last remaining man and woman will automatically form a pair."

Jiang Meng, who wasn't good at jigsaw puzzles, breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine if we don't force them to finish the puzzle.

Do as much as you can, and if you can't keep going, just give up.

"Everyone to your positions." The director pressed the timer. "Start the game!"

The guests stopped talking and became increasingly serious as they worked on the jigsaw puzzle at the table.

Some people scratched their heads, not knowing where to start; some searched and patiently pieced together the puzzle; and some had good memories and could solve the puzzle very quickly.

Among them, Su Yi'an was the most efficient.

He played the game quietly, and in just a few minutes, he had already completed the outline of the puzzle and started to put it together in the middle.

In about forty minutes, Su Yi'an finished the jigsaw puzzle.

The director announced loudly: "Congratulations to Su Yi'an for being the first to complete the game challenge!"

Everyone froze, and stopped what they were doing.

The expressions of the other male guests, in particular, were quite fascinating.

"Su Yi'an, who would you like to invite as your filming partner...?"

Su Yi'an's eyes crinkled into a smile, her gaze sweeping straight towards the girl among them without the slightest hesitation—

"Bai Nianchu," he said.

"Congratulations to Su Yi'an and Bai Nianchu on successfully teaming up. You can go and choose your shooting theme now."

Bai Nianchu stopped what she was doing and walked over to him.

Su Yi'an was always courteous and considerate. Before taking his partner away, he slowed his pace and patiently taught the remaining guests some techniques:

"First, find and assemble the puzzle outlines. Then, divide the remaining pieces into sections by color and pattern. Once the outer frame is complete, you can start with the most prominent part of the building on the drawing. Starting with that part will be much more efficient; you can give it a try."

Su Yi'an spoke gently, politely, and with perfect tact, every word conveying just the right amount of tenderness.

This is a very commendable gesture.

Not only the guests, but also the viewers in the live stream thought so:

[I never understood the male lead's gentle nature before, but now I suddenly get it.]

Although the male lead does get jealous of others, he doesn't discriminate against them because he has a good upbringing, a good personality, and is a very good person at heart. ^^

[The male lead seems to be the type who—if he likes someone, he'll take care of her, cherish her, give her the best of everything, and solve all her problems; all he needs is for her to love him unconditionally.]

[It's been so long since we've seen the male lead and four female leads together! Let's see the 14-year-old fans rise up!]

If kowtowing 14 times is wrong, I will keep making that mistake!!

You guys have to keep trying to hook up, keep trying to get close to each other until you're actually flirting...

The girls looked at Su Yi'an with a newfound appreciation.

It's hard to dislike a guy who's intelligent and gentle. Especially when he's so considerate and proactive in helping others.

In those 40 minutes, they didn't even finish half of the puzzle. They were all sore from neck pain from trying to find a suitable piece.

If it weren't for Su Yi'an's reminder, they would never have known that there were simple and efficient techniques for solving jigsaw puzzles.

As for what the male guest was thinking...?

That would be much more complicated.

One thing at a time, they're all men, how could they not see that Su Yi'an was subtly winning people over?

If the situation of girls arranging the date list were to occur again, based on these details alone, the girls would most likely side with Su Yi'an and help him and Bai Nianchu go on their date.

Su Yi'an wasn't just helping others; she was paving the way for herself!

That's what makes them wary.

She seems so gentle and kind on the surface, but she hides her true thoughts so deeply.

As expected, a barking dog doesn't bite.

The men secretly grumbled to themselves.

*

Of the five shooting themes, Su Yi'an chose the rocky beach.

Other places like coconut groves, botanical gardens, and rose valleys are beautiful, but they also have a lot of mosquitoes, making them unsuitable for girls to wear skirts for photoshoots.

After they changed their clothes and finished their makeup, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun wasn't so strong anymore.

This rocky beach is a famous island filming location in H City.

Layers of black volcanic rock extend into the sea, their rounded edges sculpted by the waves. The sea shimmers with light, and even the air is filled with the faint scent of sea salt.

Bai Nianchu wore a strapless, belted long dress in peacock green. The fishbone design accentuated her slender waistline, and she wore a turquoise necklace and matching diamond earrings. The hem of her dress was lifted by the sea breeze, revealing her fair ankles, like a mermaid's tail fin that she inadvertently showed.

Whether it's a person or clothes...

They were all so beautiful they left people speechless.

So beautiful...she was born to be my wife!

How much of a smitten do you want to make me happy?!

[It was so beautiful that I bumped my head on the ceiling when I looked up (most people aren't that tall)]

[She's alright. I've seen her face so many times that I'm not impressed anymore. Maybe it's because we've been together for so long.]

I also think her face shape is a bit strange, probably because she sleeps on her side. I suggest she sleep next to me from now on.

What are those two thinking...?

Su Yi'an walked beside her, her white shirt casually unbuttoned at the front, revealing her smooth collarbone and a small patch of chest. Her beige trousers hung neatly, outlining her straight, long legs.

This outfit is simple, but it complements his clean-cut features and gentle demeanor. If Bai Nianchu is dressed like a mermaid from the deep sea, then he is a white-clad prince guarding the shore.

[Oh no, the male lead looks even more handsome with this makeover.]

[Originally, my ideal type was the strikingly handsome Xu Muyang and Chen Yuze, but now I suddenly find Su Yi'an, with his cool and refreshing style, quite attractive... clean-cut and refreshing, perfect for a pure romance film!]

【Oh God, I want to look like this in my next life too (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )】

[14 You are a perfect match, a perfect match, a top match, a perfect match...]
