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

"We each ask the other a question."

Bai Nianchu's image was reflected in Chen Yuze's eyes, his gaze focused yet subtly aggressive.

Bai Nianchu seemed to sense something and glanced at him.

Her gaze was neither warm nor cold, revealing only a faint hint of displeasure.

It was as if reminding him to tone down his gaze.

Chen Yuze was also good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Bai Nianchu was displeased, he immediately withdrew his overly intense gaze, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked the question he most wanted to know so far: "First question, what is your ideal type? Or, what type do you prefer?"

Bai Nianchu slightly furrowed her brows and said indifferently, "Confident, reliable, strong in execution, and has an independent personality."

She spoke casually, but Chen Yuze was puzzled.

"Confidence" and "reliability" are fairly normal, but "strong execution ability" and "independent personality" are...?

It doesn't sound like an ideal type for a lover; it sounds more like a requirement for a subordinate.

Despite his confusion, his first reaction was to compare himself to the past and find that it actually matched quite well.

Chen Yuze pressed the tip of his tongue against the root of his teeth and smiled, "Your turn."

Bai Nianchu returned the favor: "The same question."

Chen Yuze paused for a moment, then his gaze unconsciously returned to her face, his eyes deeper and more audacious. Even the slight movement of his Adam's apple exuded a masculine aura, easily reminding one of a wild beast poised to pounce in the deep forest.

"My ideal type is someone with long hair, fair skin, a cool and aloof demeanor, who is intelligent and calm, and seems unapproachable but is actually very tolerant."

"The most beautiful feature is the eyes; they can draw people in when they look at them," Chen Yuze said. "Just like now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream chat erupted in a frenzy of discussion.

[Isn't this description of my ideal type a bit too specific?]

[Fifth male, you might as well just give your name.]

[I think he wanted nothing more than to end the show right then and there, stuff his wife in his pocket, and leave.]

[Family, I used to describe my ideal type as sunny, cheerful, humorous, and proactive... but after watching a show, I'm totally smitten with the fourth female lead!]

It's human nature; after all, people are attracted to those who are completely different from what they expect.

It was hard for anyone not to understand the implication in Chen Yuze's words.

After a brief eye contact, Bai Nianchu lowered her eyes and softly hummed in agreement.

There was no discernible emotional fluctuation or thought.

Chen Yuze wasn't discouraged. To him, Bai Nianchu's acceptance of his approach and understanding was itself a form of acceptance.

"My second question," he paused for a moment, "would you mind if your future partner was a bit...clingy?"

His gaze as he stared at Bai Nianchu was deep and unfathomable, unwilling to miss a single detail.

He had no doubt that Bai Nianchu would be surrounded by a group of suitors after the show ended, and even if she successfully found a boyfriend on the show, it wouldn't stop them from eyeing her covetously.

To protect the precious treasure from being stolen, the one guarding her side shouldn't be some prince or knight, but rather an evil dragon.

[Already dreaming about the future... Hakize, you rascal! (laughs while rubbing his forehead)]

[Hilarious... This cool guy, over 1.9 meters tall, looks fierce and intimidating when he's expressionless, but he identifies himself as clingy?]

That's quite a contrast.

"Won't."

Bai Nianchu's voice was clearly cold and clear.

When these words reached Chen Yuze's ears, they gave him the illusion that he had been bewitched and seduced.

she does not mind.

An indescribable excitement welled up in Chen Yuze's chest, and a hint of pleasure flashed across his eyes as he curled up the corners of his lips.

"Your turn," he said. "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Bai Nianchu sat upright, her back always maintaining a straight yet not stiff curve, her shoulders naturally relaxed, exuding a calm and elegant demeanor.

A lamp was shining overhead, casting half of its warm light on her silky long hair and half into her dark pupils.

Her hair was very soft, like flowing clouds. Her eyes were like obsidian.

It's beautiful everywhere.

[The fifth male lead's gaze was so direct, it made me blush.]

[This guy is a real wife-stalker...]

Noticing his gaze, Bai Nianchu's eyes shifted.

It met Chen Yuze's deep eyes.

"For you," she said slowly, "is love a fleeting feeling, or a lasting choice?"

Chen Yuze paused briefly, carefully crafting his response before replying seriously.

"Love can be many small moments, but I value continuous and lasting actions more. If I fall in love with someone, I will let her feel the most steadfast choice."

Bai Nianchu nodded calmly: "I understand."

[The question posed by the fourth woman, in Chinese translation, is essentially asking the fifth man whether his infatuation is temporary or whether he will remain steadfast in his choice of one person.]

[The fifth male listener understood, and his answer was sincere and forceful. Good job! O(∩_∩)O]

[I noticed that the fourth female guest had a certain "fishing" quality. It's not that she was particularly skilled at seducing men, but rather that she consistently maintained a... how to put it? Calm? Detached? No matter how emotional or passionate the male guests were, she always listened calmly, her responses subtle, possessing an indescribable allure. She subtly guided the male guests to constantly reflect on themselves, and they didn't even need her to make a move; they had already completed their self-conquest.]

All I can say is—falling in love with the fourth female lead is as easy as breathing!

After they had eaten their fill, Chen Yuze drove Bai Nianchu around for a while before they returned to the Heartbeat House together.

With two people missing from the Heartbeat House, and more importantly, with Bai Nianchu gone, the guests lost interest in researching new cuisines and simply prepared a few quick and easy home-style dishes to make do with a meal.

After that, some read books, some exercised, and some worked... Whether they were truly focused on their tasks is something only they themselves know.

When they saw Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze return, they were as concerned about the former as they were about the latter.

If eye-blades could materialize, Chen Yuze would have been stabbed countless times.

It's also their fault for being too lax. They didn't expect the new male guest to be so adept at taking advantage of the situation, using the excuse of picking them up from get off work to take them out to dinner, which was equivalent to a private date.

The production team will not object to this behavior, but it will only be allowed once.

In other words, if you want to ask Bai Nianchu out privately, you can't use the same excuse anymore.

At 10:30 p.m., the program team promptly released the contents of the letter:

Female lead Ye Siyao to male lead Su Yi'an: "I heard that Chef Brother doesn't know love."

Jiang Meng (Female Lead) to Su Yi'an (Male Lead): "Home-cooked meals are delicious too, haha."

The third female character, Liu Zhiwei, said to the first male character, Su Yi'an: "Thank you for your hard work, Chef."

Male lead Su Yi'an to female lead Bai Nianchu: "I feel like you won't eat breakfast unless I keep an eye on you. Remember that tomorrow. If you get up late, take the sandwiches from the fridge and heat them up in the microwave before eating."

Lin Zhao (male lead) to Bai Nianchu (female lead): "I don't understand you."

Male character Xu Muyang to female character Bai Nianchu: "Those who care about you will always choose you, this time, next time, and every time!"

Male character Ling Yan to female character Bai Nianchu: "It's very quiet today. A little too quiet."

Unsurprisingly, Chen Yuze and Bai Nianchu voted for each other.

Because today they were the only ones interacting one-on-one.

Female, Bai Nianchu, to Male, Chen Yuze: "Get some rest."

Male #5 Chen Yuze to Female #4 Bai Nianchu: "Ideal type: Bai Nianchu."
