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

After Chen Yuze finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

All that could be heard was a hissing sound coming from somewhere.

Jiang Meng covered her mouth, dumbfounded, staring blankly at him.

Liu Zhiwei and Ye Siyao were initially stunned, but after regaining their senses, their faces were full of interest.

The three girls hadn't left yet, so they could hear Chen Yuze's invitation to Bai Nianchu in its entirety.

There's a sense of astonishment and excitement, like watching a melon up close.

But the boys in the cabin were far away, and could only see the fifth new male lead bending over and saying a few words to Bai Nianchu before driving her away.

They didn't even give us a heads-up.

They just ran away with her like that, like they were eloping.

Men: "..."

Having not seen any female guests all night, it's obvious they had other plans.

They were all ready to welcome the new guest when they came out to greet him, but who would have thought... this newcomer, whom they had never even met, had just brought the person back and then left with someone else right under their noses?

For the first time, Su Yi'an's face, which always wore a smile and remained calm in the face of adversity, went blank.

Ling Yan felt as if his heart was being soaked in expired lemonade, bitter and astringent.

Lin Zhao's already silent face darkened further, his brows furrowing tightly like dark clouds gathering before a storm, pressing heavily between his brows.

Xu Muyang was the least able to contain his emotions; jealousy and bitterness kept bubbling up, and he couldn't suppress them at all.

He walked faster and faster, taking three steps at a time, and soon he was in front of the girl.

"What happened?" Xu Muyang's voice was tense. "Why did that person take Nianchu away? Aren't they going back to the cabin?"

"That's our new friend, Chen Yuze." Liu Zhiwei patted his shoulder reassuringly, her eyes full of "Brother, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"He said he has special privileges when it comes to dating, and the people he invites can't refuse him. That must be a rule of the show."

Xu Muyang fell into a brief silence, and the other male guests who followed also heard Liu Zhiwei's explanation.

Privileged dates...

That's really annoying to hear.

Su Yi'an quickly composed herself and asked gently, "Zhiwei, did you hear where they went on their date?"

"I don't know where they're going," Liu Zhiwei shrugged. "They said they're going to see the stars."

Looking at the stars...

The men felt even more frustrated.

*

the other side.

Chen Yuze drove for an hour and brought Bai Nianchu to their destination.

This is a campsite built in the suburbs, fully equipped with grills, ingredients, seasonings and tableware. You can barbecue while stargazing or watch an open-air movie on the lawn.

This campsite has a great view, is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and is so quiet that you can only hear the chirping of insects.

It's a great place for a date where two people can spend time alone together.

After getting out of the car, Chen Yuze led Bai Nianchu to a folding chair in front of the tent, handed her a blanket and a cushion, and then turned around to arrange the skewers of meat and other vegetables from the food storage box on a plate and put them on the table.

He had arranged all of this in advance.

Chen Yuze originally thought that if he didn't meet a girl he liked on their first meeting, he would ask the camping owner to remove all his things and give up this special date offered by the program.

To his surprise, he actually found it.

He could have asked the production team to postpone this special date.

But tonight's dinner with Bai Nianchu was far too short. If he just let Bai Nianchu go back to the cabin like this... then her impression of him would probably only remain as "the new male guest".

That's why Chen Yuze made a decisive move and used his special privilege to date Bai Nianchu, hoping to deepen her first impression of him.

"Are you tired?" Chen Yuze asked.

They finished dinner around 9 p.m., took the other female guests back to their cabins, and then came to the campsite, which was almost 10:30 p.m. Even though he let Bai Nianchu rest in the car for a while, he was still worried that she would get too tired.

"It's alright." Bai Nianchu's face was expressionless, as clear and bright as the moon overhead.

"Sorry." Chen Yuze's voice was low and a little rough, but it wasn't unpleasant; it had a unique quality to it.

"If you're tired, we'll leave after sitting for half an hour."

"Um."

Bai Nianchu is not the kind of person who would compromise herself for the sake of politeness, and Chen Yuze is not the kind of person who would dwell on a single mistake repeatedly.

There are many stars tonight.

Chen Yuze raised his chin, gesturing for her to look up.

Bai Nianchu's gaze swept upwards past her shoulder.

Indeed—the stars in the night sky were so numerous and bright that they were almost blinding, a sight that cannot be seen in the city.

"Want to try some?"

Chen Yuze picked up the tongs and took a few skewers of each type of food and put them on the barbecue grill.

Seeing her frown, looking uninterested yet unwilling to waste food, Chen Yuze let out a soft chuckle: "If you don't want to eat, then don't. I'll take care of it."

"it is good."

The Western restaurant booked by the production team served beautifully presented dishes, but the portions were small and not very filling, which couldn't satisfy Chen Yuze's large appetite, which matched his physique and muscle strength.

"The beef short ribs are ready." Chen Yuze cut the beef short ribs into small pieces, put two pieces on her plate, and said, "Try them."

"Thanks."

The sizzling sound of the grilled meat dripping into the charcoal fire was enough to tempt anyone in the live stream room, even though they couldn't smell the aroma.

[This makes me hungry, I really want some barbecue too.]

[Male guest number five, you...?? You brought a female guest to see the stars, but you ended up eating on the sidelines?]

That's a bit abstract, bro.

Chen Yuze didn't just eat by himself. Every time he grilled something, he would first take a skewer to taste it. If it was too salty, he would keep it on his own plate. If the taste was just right, he would put the second skewer on Bai Nianchu's plate.

Judging that she couldn't eat too much, Chen Yuze stopped after putting out five or six skewers.

Bai Nianchu ate very quietly, with almost no sound of chewing or swallowing. The whole process was very pleasant to watch.

When they had almost finished eating, Chen Yuze's attention was completely on her.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Chen Yuze was like a satiated, lazy yet energetic lion. He stretched his muscular shoulders, casually put one hand on the back of the chair, and held a Coke can in the other, his fingertips idly stroking the can.

His movements were casual and relaxed, but his gaze was not unfocused at all, fixed straight on Bai Nianchu.

Even when their eyes met by chance, Chen Yuze's gaze remained unwavering.

"Won't you get bored?" he asked.

"Won't."

Bai Nianchu's answer made Chen Yuze's lips twitch slightly.

He's not usually a cheerful person.

I don't know why—after coming to this show and meeting Bai Nianchu, he couldn't stop smiling whenever the other party gave him any feedback.

He himself was also surprised by this situation.

If Chen Yuze were to lead the trip alone, he would choose more adrenaline-pumping extreme sports, such as rock climbing, skiing, skydiving, or his own profession—diving.

But with Bai Nianchu involved, there were more things to consider: her health didn't look very good, and doing these exercises would be too strenuous. Besides, the sports he liked were all potentially dangerous, and he was afraid she would get injured.

After thinking it over, stargazing seems like the perfect solution.

It was a coincidence, a twist of fate.

Everything is the best arrangement.
