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

Following that, the male guest's letter was published.

Male lead Su Yi'an to female lead Bai Nianchu: "It's a pity I lost the game and couldn't choose your gift."

Lin Zhao (the second male lead) to Ye Siyao (the first female lead): "The sculpture is nice."

Male character Xu Muyang to female character Bai Nianchu: "I really like the tie clip you gave me. I'll definitely wear it next time I wear a suit (ゝ∀･)~"

In the live stream, Watson discovered a blind spot:

[Look at the letter the male lead wrote: "It's a pity," "I lost the game," "I couldn't choose your gift." Isn't that the subtext of "I know which gift is yours, and I wanted to choose you, but I couldn't because of the game rules"?]

Watson, you're really something!

[Is the second male lead really here to find love? He voted for Liu Zhiwei on the first day and for Ye Siyao on the second. One was "Hello," and the other was "Nice sculpture." There's absolutely no indication of his feelings for her.]

[Our third male and fourth female leads are still the best to ship; Xu Muyang's straightforwardness is reassuring.]

In order, Ling Yan's letter was the last to be released—

Male No. 4 Ling Yan to Female No. 4 Bai Nianchu:

I wasn't unhappy yesterday.

"Today, there is a little bit."

Two very simple lines of text left the viewers in the live stream completely bewildered and stunned.

[No, not this? Is the fourth man responding to the fourth woman's letter from last night?]

[My god... Male lead number four, you're so innocent!?]

【Oh dear, why am I feeling a little unhappy today? It's so hard to guess~】

[Of course, it's because I failed to snag the tie clip from the fourth female lead.]

[I can't take it anymore, the fourth male lead really hit a chord with me, it's that feeling of "I'm wronged but I won't say it, and even if I do, I'll only say a little bit, because I'm afraid you'll get angry," do you girls understand? (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )?]

[Got it! I'll say it again: I want an insecure guy, I want an insecure guy!!]

Inside the Heart-Fluttering Cottage.

There are countless people who are happy to receive a gift, or who toss and turn at night because they haven't received a letter...

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

*

The next morning, after breakfast, the guests went to work one after another.

Only Bai Nianchu, Ye Siyao, Su Yi'an, and Ling Yan remained at home.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Ye Siyao asked Su Yi'an.

"Mm." Su Yi'an smiled faintly, "I'm off today."

"You should take a break; your job is too demanding," Ye Siyao said.

The private equity investment industry is much more mentally taxing than her job.

"What about Ling Yan? Doesn't he have classes today?"

"Um."

After revealing their professions, they got to know each other better.

"We're just staying home anyway," Su Yi'an replied. "How about we go to the supermarket to buy groceries for the next few days?"

"Okay." Ye Siyao was a little happy.

It was her and Lin Zhao's turn to prepare dinner tonight. She had one or two signature dishes and wanted to make a medicinal soup, but she was just having trouble finding the ingredients.

Bai Nianchu didn't care where they went, so she agreed.

Ling Yan glanced at Bai Nianchu for a moment, then quickly looked back. His drooping eyelashes trembled with a hint of panic, and his eyes held thoughts he dared not reveal.

He silently agreed.

Ye Siyao naturally took Bai Nianchu's arm. "Let's meet at the door in half an hour. Nianchu and I will go back to our room to change first."

When Ye Siyao's fingertips touched Bai Nianchu's arm, she was momentarily dazed.

As a girl herself, her skin was smooth and soft, but it wasn't like Bai Nianchu's—it was like being covered in a layer of fine cream, as if pressing it would cause ripples to spread, so delicate that it made one's heart itch.

She was certain she wasn't a bronze medalist.

But... Bai Nianchu really has a very special charm.

Coolness should not be excessive or distant.

Ye Siyao saw right through the male guest's thoughts.

Bai Nianchu is the kind of person who doesn't easily show her vulnerability to others. Therefore, her reactions, emotions, and even a slight smile are exceptionally rare gifts and rewards for men.

The harder a relationship is to obtain, the more precious it feels; the more reserved a heart is, the more captivating it becomes. To be accepted and favored by Bai Nianchu is an extremely significant boost to one's sense of self-worth.

Men all want to be special, hoping that only they can make Bai Nianchu open her heart and reveal her soft or dependent side.

It is precisely this uniqueness that makes it so irresistible.

Ye Siyao was aware of all of this.

But as clear as it is...

She was the first person to meet Bai Nianchu!

They're holding hands!

Although it was only her side of the story.

Only after reaching the second-floor dressing room did Ye Siyao reluctantly let go of her hand.

After changing into comfortable clothes, the four of them got into the car and headed to a supermarket about five kilometers away.

After arriving at the supermarket—

"There are four of us, so two shopping carts should be enough," Su Yi'an said. "Should we split up and buy them? Two people per group, each going one side."

Ye Siyao nodded: "Okay."

She turned her head and looked at Bai Nianchu, asking the question that both men were secretly hoping for: "Nianchu, do you want to be in a group with Yi'an, or with Ling Yan?"

Su Yi'an had not received any letters from Bai Nianchu, and he was certain that the male guest she had the least interaction with was Lin Zhao. Therefore, it could be inferred that the letters she sent the previous two nights were addressed to either Xu Muyang or Ling Yan.

Last night's letter was no different from a thank-you note and was therefore not relevant. On the first night, Lin Zhao received two letters, one for himself and one for Ling Yan; Xu Muyang received none.

Excluding Lin Zhao and Xu Muyang, it's easy to deduce that Bai Nianchu's letter was addressed to Ling Yan.

Moreover, it happened for two consecutive nights.

A letter expressing goodwill on the first night and a thank-you letter on the second night for receiving a gift.

Su Yi'an's mind raced, but her expression remained as gentle and patient as ever, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Bai Nianchu glanced at Ling Yan briefly, and Su Yi'an instantly understood her choice.

This is not what he expected to see.

So, before Bai Nianchu could speak, Su Yi'an preemptively invited, "Nianchu, let's go together."

Su Yi'an has a gentle voice and always speaks with a faint smile, like a spring breeze, which makes it easy for people to feel good about her.

A look of understanding flashed across Ye Siyao's eyes.

Before Bai Nianchu could respond, a long arm suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the handle of the shopping cart in front of her.

Because of the force exerted, the pale palm showed obvious blue veins.

It was someone no one expected—Ling Yan.

Ling Yan rarely raised his eyelids and straightened his back.

Only then did they belatedly realize that the younger brother, who was almost invisible in the small house, was actually quite tall, nearly 1.9 meters, and two or three centimeters taller than Su Yi'an.

When he raised his eyes and stared intently at the person, a sense of oppression surged forth like a deep, dark tide.

It instantly made the surrounding air feel stagnant.

"...Let her choose."

Because he rarely speaks, Ling Yan's voice is a little hoarse, but it's not unpleasant to listen to. Instead, it's like a cello string that has been gently rubbed, with a special kind of magnetism.

As soon as the words were spoken, the invisible tension between the two men suddenly tightened, and even the air seemed to solidify.
