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

In H City, it gets light early and dark early.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to darken, and by five o'clock, it was completely night.

Whether it was a regular performance at the amusement park or a little surprise orchestrated by the "Heartbeat House" production team, a grand fireworks display suddenly burst forth before their eyes as the sedan chair carrying Chen Yuze, Bai Nianchu, and Ling Yan was slowly descending.

Ferris wheel, kisses, fireworks...

This is truly a very romantic scene.

Chen Yuze has a strange trigger for tears.

No matter how much hardship and fatigue he endured during training, he never shed a single tear.

But at that moment, as the fireworks exploded in the sky, his eyes suddenly reddened.

It's not because things aren't good enough now, but because they're too good.

It was so good that it scared him.

Chen Yuze does not deny that he is a very greedy person, so greedy that he wants to hold everything in his hands, so greedy that he is afraid of losing what he has not yet possessed.

I'm afraid all of this is like the fireworks right now—brilliant, but after they're gone, nothing will be left.

Ling Yan and he shared similar yet different feelings.

Chen Yuze comes from a good family, is talented, has ideals and is gifted. He is a person who is full of energy and light, shining and powerful.

But Ling Yan is not.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never been chosen firmly by anyone, and he has rarely been cherished, valued, or expected to succeed.

His world was broken and dark. His heart was damp and needed to be thoroughly exposed to the light to evaporate the stagnant water that remained in his body.

At this moment, a feeling of happiness surged straight to my head, entered my nasal cavity, and gradually spread to my eyes.

He took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress the urge to cry.

Although Ling Yan also thinks a lot, he doesn't have the courage to hope for a future that is too far in the future.

So... when Chen Yuze bluntly told Bai Nianchu, "When we're together, let's ride the Ferris wheel again," he just dryly replied, "I want to too."

It's not "I need it too," but "I want it too."

Ling Yan always left room for Bai Nianchu to maneuver in his words.

Similarly, he never had the choice.

After putting on the collar given to him by Bai Nianchu, he only wanted to belong to her completely.

Be her lover, her lover, her plaything—anything is fine.

It doesn't matter if I'm not human; I can be a cat or a dog.

He willingly allowed himself to be possessed.

"Bang—bang—"

The fireworks were in full bloom.

In various movies, TV series, and comics, scenes like "Wait for me to come back and we'll get married," "Wait for me to come back and we'll be together," or making a promise in front of fireworks, are all flags that indicate the characters will either die or the promise will be broken.

But Bai Nianchu didn't believe in these things.

Even if they were true, she would overturn those flags and rewrite the so-called bad ending.

and so……

Let's watch the fireworks together next year.

Bai Nianchu said those words calmly.

The two men's eyes lit up: "Okay." "It's a deal."

An indescribable sense of satisfaction filled my chest.

Chen Yuze and Ling Yan thought silently:

For her, someone who would make a promise to watch fireworks together must be an important person.

night sky.

Countless fireworks shot straight into the sky, piercing the night like light, as if burning away all pain and regret, blooming brilliantly and dazzlingly.

How splendid, how beautiful.

This brief encounter is coming to an end.

But their future is just beginning.

The moment Bai Nianchu made her promise, the entire livestream chat simultaneously uttered the same sentence—

Let's watch the fireworks together next year.

Let's watch the fireworks together next year.

Let's watch the fireworks together next year.

When the five of them returned from their date, only Xu Muyang remained at the villa.

Su Yi'an is recognized by everyone as a chef and a "male mom," as he is the most diligent cook. With the idea of ​​making a pot of coconut chicken soup for everyone tonight to nourish them, Su Yi'an went out alone to buy coconuts and chicken.

The other three girls had gone to the beach to play in the water and were still on their way back.

Xu Muyang was sitting on the sofa, bored out of his mind, resting his chin on his hand and staring blankly.

When he saw the dating group return, especially when he saw Bai Nianchu, Xu Muyang was completely stunned.

He stared at her for two seconds before realizing what was happening and jumped up.

"You...you're back."

Xu Muyang only wanted to greet Bai Nianchu. When he glanced at the other guests and the photographer, he added a word, changing "you" to "you all".

After chatting with his friends, he thought a lot on his own.

Xu Muyang does not deny the fact that he is a "simp".

Of course, he didn't think there was anything shameful about being a simp.

Xu Muyang didn't consider himself the kind of shameless, persistent, and desperate simp who kept clinging to someone despite being rejected multiple times. He certainly wouldn't use his self-righteous affection to mask his overstepping boundaries, mistaking offense and obsession for genuine sincerity and devotion.

Xu Muyang felt that he was a dignified, mentally healthy, and positive "simp".

The "fishing theory" mentioned by my friend in the video chat is utter nonsense.

None of them have had this experience, so why do they say that the girl he likes is fishing?

Besides, what's wrong with fishing?

If you're fishing for him every day, what's the difference between that and loving him?

Seeing Xu Muyang dash over so fast that he was just a blur, his eager and enthusiastic puppy-like appearance instantly made the live stream chat burst into laughter.

[The third male lead is a total chosen puppy!]

[He loves to cuddle and rub against others, is very clingy and obedient, can be pinched and teased at will, is easily satisfied and straightforward, his emotions are easily read on his face, he provides support, companionship, and a sense of security, and is completely loyal... he's practically the epitome of dog-raising!]

[There's a little bit left upstairs, and it also says "I will always love you" ૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ]

[Xiao Xu Belike: This puppy doesn't care about terms like "licking dog" at all; he loves his partner openly and proudly!]

After reflecting all day, Xu Muyang concluded that:

He'll still act like a simp, but he'll tone it down a bit and won't be as proactive.

After all, puppies that are too proactive will be abandoned.

So, when he ran to Bai Nianchu's side, he didn't bombard her with a bunch of questions as usual, but instead said a few considerate words.

"Nianchu, you must be tired from going out today."

"I made some mung bean soup for lunch, and there's still a lot left in the kitchen. Are you thirsty? Would you like to go have a bowl now?"

Xu Muyang first expressed his concern, then recounted what he had done that day, and finally extended an invitation in one smooth motion.

Compared to before, they have really improved a lot.

Bai Nianchu was persuaded by his words; she was indeed a little thirsty.

Besides, mung bean soup was something she had only drunk a few times in her previous life.

She has endless patience when it comes to sweets.

"Okay." Bai Nianchu nodded. "I'll go upstairs and put my bag down first."

Xu Muyang's smile was like a dazzling little sun in the height of summer, bright and hot.

He spoke in a light tone, his voice rising at the end: "Okay! I'll go to the kitchen and wait for you."
