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

There will never be a busier day than today.

Bai Nianchu thought.

In the morning, we had a water polo match; in the afternoon, we strolled in the park; and in the evening, I accompanied Ling Yan to the clinic.

After returning, Chen Yuze invited her to take a walk on the beach.

It fills her time completely.

No one knew how Chen Yuze found such a good place. Bai Nianchu was led by him for a while, and then they turned a few corners.

The surroundings gradually quieted down; the sounds of waves and insects faded into the distance.

Chen Yuze took her to a campsite with tents, tables, chairs, and chandeliers.

The decorations resembled the night he first invited her on a date, the night they watched the stars.

Bai Nianchu didn't speak, and Chen Yuze was also unusually silent.

His eyes appeared exceptionally deep in the dim light, as if they held back many unspoken words, heavy with unspoken weight.

After waiting and waiting, Bai Nianchu still didn't speak, and Chen Yuze's lips involuntarily turned down.

He was a little unhappy.

Being silent has its advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that they are emotionally stable and have a delicate mind, which makes people always want to understand them, like a book that requires patience to read; the bad thing is that they are prone to cold wars and misunderstandings, and it is necessary to jointly establish a set of communication methods that belong to each other and are in sync.

Not only in dating, but also in the ambiguous stage, it is a process that requires patience to work things out.

Chen Yuze is a true man of action, with an incredibly passionate and sincere heart, and a very direct way of expressing his attitude.

He has never lacked patience, especially when it comes to pursuing his wife.

Chen Yuze was afraid that Bai Nianchu would lose patience with him, and that the scales in her heart would completely tip towards Ling Yan between him and Ling Yan.

What he feared most was that Bai Nianchu would abandon him without looking back.

The more Chen Yuze thought about it, the worse it seemed. Not wanting to get caught up in the dilemma any longer, he asked directly:

"Bai Nianchu, can't you really tell that Ling Yan is doing this on purpose?"

This statement caused Bai Nianchu to fall into a brief silence.

Of course she noticed.

She could tell from Ling Yan's various micro-expressions and from Chen Yuze's furious eyes.

Bai Nianchu was thinking about something else—

What kind of affection does she have for Ling Yan?

There is no doubt that Bai Nianchu likes kittens.

In her opinion, whatever the kitten does is right.

This includes a kitten's clinginess, possessiveness, separation anxiety, or tantrums.

Even when a kitten throws a tantrum, it's still incredibly cute.

She loves kittens, whether they're good or bad.

In her eyes, Ling Yan was like a kitten.

However, compared to those domesticated, docile, and adorable cats, he was more like a stray cat who was cautious in everything he did.

Ling Yan's clinginess and occasional displays of affection were the result of careful observation of her. More often than not, he was insecure and anxious, and even his possessiveness towards her was subtle.

and so……

Even if Ling Yan was scheming against her and deliberately putting on an act for her.

Bai Nianchu also thought it was kind of cute.

Because she knew in her heart—

This is Ling Yan asking for her love in his own way.

Bai Nianchu's silence had already given Chen Yuze an answer.

He was suddenly overcome with immense panic and spoke in a hoarse voice, "You clearly saw it, so why...?"

Why not expose them? Why tolerate that person?

Is it really as he feared—

Has she fallen so much in love with Ling Yan that she can't live without him?

Bai Nianchu frowned and finally spoke:

"He made a mistake."

"But all he wanted was love."

Therefore, Bai Nianchu simply couldn't think too badly of him.

Even the worst purpose is still just this.

Ling Yan's love is obsessive, to the point where his bones crack. It's like a drowning person clinging to a straw, even if it drags him into an abyss of no return, he'd still gladly accept it.

For Ling Yan—

Love is not a comfort, but a nail in the skull. (William Carlos Williams, Paterson)

If you pull it out, he will die.

It is both a torture device and a hope.

"..."

Chen Yuze remained silent.

He suddenly hated himself for thinking too fast, and immediately understood the implication in Bai Nianchu's words.

The bitterness, pain, and surging emotions almost crushed him, and his chest ached as if it were being burned by a raging fire.

His breathing was heavy as he stared intently at Bai Nianchu.

"And what about me?" Chen Yuze asked. "You'll pity him, but not me?"

Just because Ling Yan is pitiful and in pain, does that mean he has to suffer? Doesn't he suffer too?

Chen Yuze also needs Bai Nianchu's love.

"Even though I know it's his fault..."

Chen Yuze's eyes revealed raw hurt: "Can't you comfort me?"

This was the first time he had shown this side of himself in front of Bai Nianchu.

Chen Yuze has a well-defined bone structure and a somewhat fierce demeanor. When he looks at people with a blank expression, he exudes a natural sense of pressure.

But at this moment, his eyelashes were lowered, his sharp, piercing eyes were completely dimmed, and his lips were pursed, like a male beast with drooping ears and tail and a face full of grievance.

Bai Nianchu remained silent for a moment.

She thought of what Chen Yuze resembled.

Like those big dogs that only look fierce on the outside, but actually dare not lose their temper with their owners. Even when they are extremely excited, they only dare to howl in a low voice.

Bai Nianchu did not appease him.

Instead, she looked up at him and said, "Are you angry with me?"

"Are you still blaming me?"

Bai Nianchu's eyes appeared exceptionally clear under the chandelier light.

It was like a splash of cold water, instantly deflated Chen Yuze's arrogance.

He remained silent for a long while before finally speaking in a muffled voice, "I... I didn't."

"I just wanted to tease you a little, to get your attention, to make you favor me a little, and not always think about Ling Yan."

As he spoke, Chen Yuze could no longer control his emotions.

He turned around and leaned his whole body towards Bai Nianchu.

Then... he buried his face in the crook of her neck.

"Did what I said make you think I was throwing a tantrum?"

Chen Yuze didn't have the courage to look up.

Her skin was already soaked with tears she couldn't hold back.

He cried again.

This is the second time she has cried in front of Bai Nianchu.

Chen Yuze's voice was terribly hoarse, with a clear sobbing tone.

Because he was emotionally distraught, almost everything he said was a thoughtless outburst.

Even the way they address Bai Nianchu is—

"Wife, how could I dare to lose my temper with you..."

"I won't blame you either."

"I'm just very scared."

Chen Yuze pressed his high nose bridge against Bai Nianchu's soft and delicate skin, feeling both aggrieved and sad, yet unable to resist being intoxicated by her body temperature. His handsome face rubbed and rubbed against her neck.

"I'm afraid you'll choose him and leave me, because I know he holds a higher place in your heart than I do... I have to do everything I can to keep you here."

"I'm sorry, I was being unreasonable. I won't do it again."

"Wife...please forgive me."
