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

Lin Zhao couldn't stand Ling Yan, and Xu Muyang couldn't sit still either.

He cleared his throat, drawing all the guests' attention: "I checked the kitchen when I arrived. The production team didn't provide lunch, but there's plenty of food in the fridge. Looks like we'll have to prepare our own meal if we want to eat."

The kitchen has always been a "disaster zone" for love triangles.

If you can cook, you can show off in front of your crush; if you can't cook, you can still help out by their side.

But you can't be too good at it either.

Being too good at cooking will only make you a cook in the Love Variety Show House.

But cooks don't experience love.

Jiang Meng's eyes flickered as she prepared her words: "I usually live alone and can cook some home-style dishes, like scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded pork with garlic sauce. If you don't mind, I can make a few dishes for you to eat."

Apart from Ling Yan, all of these male guests appeared to be either wealthy or of high social standing.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies, suddenly encountering some home-cooked meals might feel novel.

"Where are the others?" Jiang Meng asked with a sweet smile. "Can you all cook?"

"I can cook a little, but it's just so-so," Ye Siyao replied. "But I can help make soup."

Liu Zhiwei shook her head: "I usually eat in the company cafeteria, I've never cooked at home."

Ling Yan answered Jiang Meng's question with silence.

"Where's Yangyang?" Jiang Meng put her hands behind her back, turned around to face the only mixed-race guest in the cabin, her face full of cuteness and innocence.

"I can only cook Western food, like steak and French fries," Xu Muyang said, staring intently at Bai Nianchu.

His face has a strong mixed-race look.

His eyes were deep-set, and his azure pupils seemed to hold the stars. When he looked at someone, his gaze was focused, his eyes fixed on that person, as if nothing else in the world could be seen, only she shone brightly in his eyes.

Do you like Western food?

Xu Muyang asked "you".

But the other guests all understood that the only person he wanted to ask was Bai Nianchu.

After all, only a blind person wouldn't notice such an obvious, focused, and straightforward gaze.

Hehe, hehehe, do you like Western food?

Is this a double entendre? He himself is practically a Western food connoisseur.

I don't know if the female contestant Si Xi would like it, but I'm absolutely drooling over it!

[The third male lead is so straightforward; he's genuinely fallen for the fourth female lead at first sight.]

"Western food? I don't usually eat it." Jiang Meng's smile faltered slightly, but she quickly masked it. "But Yangyang, if you're going to make it, we'll definitely support you!"

"Thanks."

"And you, Bai Nianchu?"

Xu Muyang didn't even bother to pretend; he called me by name directly, "Do you want me to do it?"

Jiang Meng: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Bai Nianchu also fell silent.

Her personality is colder, more silent, and more aloof than the original owner's.

In her original world, no one dared to reveal these thoughts to her, and she didn't need to respond or deal with them.

However, this is a dating reality show. During the month-long filming and recording, you cannot make a clear confession to a guest until the final day of holding hands, and you cannot make a clear rejection of other guests' advances.

Since Bai Nianchu accepted the system's strategy mission and entered "Heartbeat House," she had no intention of breaking the rules.

[It's alright, host.]

The small system-branded ball of light circled around her once, then stopped and rubbed against the side of her face.

[Play however you want!] After binding itself to Bai Nianchu, the system's mind was completely focused on its host. [With such charm, why would the host need to specifically woo these stinky men! Even if the host does nothing, countless dogs will pounce on them.]

Bai Nianchu: ...

She sighed inwardly and said to the system in her mind, "Speak properly."

The little system complained: "But I was just telling the truth..."

Bai Nianchu ignored it.

She raised her eyelids and met Xu Muyang's gaze.

Bai Nianchu has a pair of beautiful, deep black eyes, a consensus reached by everyone upon their first meeting with her.

Black is the most common and ordinary color, and pure black pupils are everywhere.

But her eyes were like a night sky filled with misty shadows; if you weren't careful, you would drown in them.

Xu Muyang became engrossed in watching.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as he tried his best to look away from Bai Nianchu... but he failed.

Because he discovered that Bai Nianchu not only had beautiful eyes, but also very long eyelashes.

Her long, curled eyelashes left a butterfly-wing-like shadow on her eyelids; her thin lips were pale; and her skin was so white it seemed to glow.

It looks beautiful everywhere.

Xu Muyang didn't want to be so obvious, like a dog eagerly throwing itself at someone.

This is only the first day.

But can he really control his physical reactions? His ears still turned red, and his heart was pounding like someone was playing drums on his chest.

She kept looking at me...

"I think my makeup and styling today went well, right? I should have asked the makeup artist to do my hair even better and change into a more formal outfit."

"Was I too blunt just now? Asking her in front of so many people, she must have been scared by me."

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do... Please don't hate me."

"Is she keeping silent because she's thinking about how to refuse?"

"They must hate me..."

Although Xu Muyang is warm-hearted and has many friends, always bringing warmth to those around him like a little sun, he attended all-boys schools for junior and senior high school. After entering university, he focused on his studies and had no opportunity to meet girls. After graduation, due to the nature of his work, flying to a different province or city every few days became the norm, further reducing his chances.

This led to him remaining single for over twenty years.

When he suddenly encountered such a beautiful girl who made his heart flutter, his mouth, which was usually so good at making his friends laugh, suddenly seemed to be glued shut, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Its eyes also resembled those of a golden retriever that hadn't yet been scolded by its owner, yet was already looking downcast and pitiful.

But just when Xu Muyang's mood was about to plummet to rock bottom...

He heard Bai Nianchu's response.

"what ever."

The voice was very faint, and no emotion could be discerned.

But it was like a ray of dawn piercing through the dark clouds, dispelling the gloom in Xu Muyang's heart.

Xu Muyang's eyes lit up, and he was full of energy again.

"I see!"

[The dog is a good dog (sorry, I'm patting the dog on the back again, hahaha)]

Yes, it really is a very well-behaved and straightforward dog.

He really can't hide anything; it's all written on his face, haha.

I feel that male guest number three is a better match for female guest number four than the other male guests. Female guest number four is a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, so she'd be better suited to dating a more sunny and cheerful boyfriend.

[Let's get started, ladies!]
