Xu Muyang was prepared; he didn't just sit idly by.

The seat next to him had cushions, pillows, and a thin fleece shawl. On the coffee table was a mug with Bai Nianchu's name on it, filled with warm water specially poured for her. Xu Muyang had also cut the taro yogurt cake that Su Yi'an had brought back that evening into pieces, selecting the one that looked the best and was cut the most beautifully, and placed it next to the water glass along with a fork.

Before she knew it, Su Yi'an, who had been "borrowed to offer her flowers" (a euphemism for using someone else's work), was speechless.

She took the cake he bought to please his date that day.

Sometimes, he really admired Xu Muyang.

Being this thick-skinned is a talent in itself.

Xu Muyang had prepared everything, so Bai Nianchu naturally wouldn't refuse.

She thanked him and sat down beside him.

Faced with this scene, Lin Zhao's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Logically speaking, someone with many suitors should be used to such attentive gestures.

But seeing the man surnamed Xu fawning over Bai Nianchu like a dog, and how a casual "thank you" from Bai Nianchu could make this silly dog ​​happy for half a day... Lin Zhao felt a thorn grow in her heart.

It doesn't hurt, but it makes people inexplicably irritable.

Whether it was because she found Xu Muyang's fawning manner too offensive, or because she couldn't bear to see Bai Nianchu accepting others' flattery, or perhaps because she didn't want to see her getting closer and closer to other men... Lin Zhao herself couldn't say for sure.

A thousand thoughts were knotted together between my brows.

It was still early, and everyone was relaxing in the living room drinking tea and having snacks, so Jiang Meng suggested that they play Truth or Dare.

The cabin was never short of board game cards.

They found a deck of cards that guests could draw to decide whether to answer questions or complete game challenges.

"Then how do we determine who wins and who loses?"

"Let's form a circle and spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on draws a card."

In the game Truth or Dare, if you have someone you like, the person who gets punished actually wins. This is because it gives them a reason to express their feelings with "truth" or to use the "dare" game to deepen their relationship with their crush.

You can't lose money no matter what.

The comment section was equally eager and ready to go:

[The dating shows come and go, but the truth or dare game remains a constant.]

[The game segment that appears every season—I'm really looking forward to it!]

The first person to be spun by the bottle was Ye Siyao.

She drew the Truth card: [Who among those present best matches your ideal type? Can you describe the qualities you like?]

"The most suitable ideal type..." Ye Siyao fell into thought.

At first, Lin Zhao was the one who best fit her criteria for a boyfriend, and she sent her first two letters of attraction to him.

But she wasn't the type to cling on relentlessly. After sensing that Lin Zhao didn't have any feelings for her, she naturally stopped trying to get close to him.

"Lin Zhao," Ye Siyao pondered. "I prefer someone mature, stable, responsible, and with strong professional skills in their field."

"Oh~" Jiang Meng drawled, her teasing gaze shifting between Ye Siyao and Lin Zhao. "So Siyao's ideal type is Brother Lin Zhao."

As soon as Jiang Meng finished speaking, Ye Siyao frowned slightly.

She didn't like feeling misunderstood.

The topic of the truth card was "The person who best matches your ideal type," which doesn't mean that the person she named is her crush. She singled out Lin Zhao simply because he fits her ideal type better.

The person sitting directly opposite Ye Siyao was Bai Nianchu.

She could feel Bai Nianchu's gaze lingering slightly on her face.

"Bai Nianchu, what are you thinking about?"

"Am I also wondering if I like Lin Zhao?"

Does she know that Lin Zhao actually...

*

"I qualify too."

Ye Siyao was momentarily stunned.

So much so that when he heard Bai Nianchu speak, he was a little stunned: "What?"

She was a little slow to realize it.

After realizing what was happening, my heart started racing.

"I fit your ideal type too."

Bai Nianchu's thin lips parted and closed, and his clear, magnetic voice echoed in my ears once again.

Her tone was calm, with a unique serenity and self-control, and an undeniable certainty.

These words, which sound like self-praise when spoken to others, sounded surprisingly fitting coming from Bai Nianchu.

Ye Siyao's heart trembled, and for a moment, she even wondered if she had gone mad.

Otherwise... why would I find Bai Nianchu exceptionally handsome?

She clearly possesses a stunningly beautiful face.

When the others heard Bai Nianchu speak, their initial reactions were similar to Ye Siyao's: some were shocked, some were stunned, and some were dumbfounded.

But after realizing it and thinking about it carefully...

"Mature and steady," "responsible," and "possessing strong professional skills in their own field"—these words are indeed fitting for Bai Nianchu, and they also apply to Su Yi'an and Liu Zhiwei. They are not exclusive to Lin Zhao.

It was just a simple description of an ideal type, but they had preconceived notions about it.

"Oh, right." Liu Zhiwei chuckled, resting her chin on her hand. "In that case, I also fit Siyao's ideal type."

"Hmm." Ye Siyao's mood changed from not being very pleasant to feeling as light and soft as if she were walking on a cloud. The whole change was due to Bai Nianchu's two sentences.

Was it an unintentional interruption, or a deliberate attempt to defuse the situation...?

Her heart leaned more towards the latter.

At this moment, the comment section has become a special space for the fourth female lead's fans—

【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! 】

[Family members, what should I do if my wife has turned into my husband? Should I try to change her behavior?]

【No need, I'll just shout "Honey!" loudly!】

[Honey, you're exactly my ideal type too! ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄]

Ye Siyao's expression is practically a perfect portrayal of me.

[Female lead, I believe you were a very straightforward niece before, but the way you look at female lead four now is definitely not innocent.]

[This is the kind of dating reality show script I've been looking for! The fourth female guest's charm is simply irresistible; even the other female guests can't resist her.]

Now I understand why people who are rescued by heroes often fall in love with them.

Yes, as a super-intellectual person who dislikes being teased, putting myself in the shoes of the female lead, to exaggerate a bit, the fourth female lead is practically a ray of light that fell from the sky...

The atmosphere in the cabin became lively again, except for Jiang Meng, who was not very happy.

She pursed her lips listlessly, like a kitten that knew it had made a mistake.

A comment from a user in the live chat section: "As expected, the smile doesn't disappear; it just moves from one person's face to another."

[Hahaha, Jiang Mengmeng, you know you've gotten yourself into trouble, right? Serves you right for being so talkative.]

The second person to be turned by the bottle was Su Yi'an, who also drew the truth card.

The question for this card is: [What song title would you use to describe your first impression of your crush?]
