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

It was quite late when the three of them returned to the cabin.

Xu Muyang walked in front, tiptoeing as he opened the door, afraid that the clattering noises would disturb the guests sleeping upstairs.

To their surprise, when they opened the door, the living room lights were still on, and there were quite a few people sitting on the sofa, clearly waiting for them to return.

"You're back?" Jiang Meng yawned, put on a blanket, got up, and walked over to Bai Nianchu's side.

Like a kitten that's so sleepy it's about to doze off, but still insists on waiting for its owner to come home.

She suddenly squinted her eyes, leaned closer, and sniffed them.

"Oh, so the three of you were sneaking around eating outside behind our backs!"

The moment the words "stealing food" were uttered, the air in the small house suddenly froze, as if a mute button had been pressed.

As the commotion abruptly ended, only Chen Yuze leaned back on the sofa and chuckled softly, "Where did they go?"

Xu Muyang glared at him: You have no obligation to tell me!

However, on second thought, making his rival jealous was quite pleasing to him, so Xu Muyang rambled on about tonight's play performance, his appointment with Bai Nianchu, and the three of them going to the food street.

"..."

The expressions on everyone's faces varied; the men were secretly jealous, while the women looked surprised and regretful.

"I never expected you, Mu Yang, to be doing something so big behind the scenes!"

They were actually quite curious about what Xu Muyang's performances on stage were like. The edited video shown during the job introduction was just a glimpse; to truly understand Xu Muyang's work, they had to experience it live.

"You guys went to the food street?" Jiang Meng swallowed hard. "No wonder there was a smell of barbecue when you came in."

"Are you hungry?" Su Yi'an raised her hand, showing the group of guests who were "staying behind" inside the room the takeout bag in her hand. "We bought too much, and some of it hasn't been touched yet. We brought it back to see if there's anything you want to eat."

Jiang Meng was the first to raise her hand. Liu Zhiwei and Wen Shanshan had been busy all day and were mentally exhausted, so they also needed to replenish their energy.

"Me! Me! Me!"

"Give it to me, I'll take it to the dining table."

Ye Siyao smiled without saying a word, and only when Bai Nianchu changed into her slippers and was about to go upstairs did she interject with a gentle look in her eyes.

"Nianchu, I've boiled hot water for you in the room."

Bai Nianchu paused slightly, a warmth spreading through her heart: "Thank you."

"Okay, go take a shower."

Ye Siyao's gentle smile spread from her eyes to her eyebrows.

Netizens' scathing comment: [She gives off a strange vibe of being the official wife.]

Lin Zhao and Chen Yuze seemed about to strike up a conversation, but Ye Siyao's interruption silenced them.

[Everyone knows that the fourth woman isn't in good health. Going to bed no later than 12:30 AM has become an ironclad rule for her.]

[The male guest also showed great gentlemanly conduct~*^_^* Even when he wanted to show off, he wouldn't rashly disturb the fourth female guest's rest time.]

[I remember a dating reality show from South Korea. Their nightlife was just starting at midnight. They were drinking, working out, taking walks, doing all sorts of things until 2 or 3 in the morning, and then they wouldn't fall asleep until 4 or 5. They'd get up again at 8 or 9 to go to work.]

Is this still a human routine?

*

Time flies, and it's Friday again.

Everyone has the right to go on a date this week, however, the order in which dates are chosen will also be contested.

On Friday night, the ten potential guests gathered at the basketball court downstairs.

The director brought over two bamboo tubes and gestured, "Everyone, come and draw lots. Boys draw from the left tube, and girls draw from the right tube. Male and female guests with the same color at the end of their lots will automatically be paired up."

The guests stepped forward one by one to draw lots.

This time, the lucky winner was not Xu Muyang, but Chen Yuze, who had recently joined the house. He drew the same pink color as Bai Nianchu.

The other groups are: Su Yi'an x Liu Zhiwei (red), Lin Zhao x Jiang Meng (green), Xu Muyang x Wen Shanshan (yellow), and Ling Yan x Ye Siyao (blue).

After the teams were formed, the director began to announce the game rules.

"This game is a quiz challenge for two people to test their teamwork. The winning team will have the privilege of choosing their date first."

"The rules of the game are simple: the male and female guests in the same group answer questions back to back. They raise a 'YES' card if they agree and a 'NO' card if they disagree. The female guest's choice is the standard answer. If the answers of the same team members are consistent, they get 1 point. If they are inconsistent, they get no points. The first team to accumulate 5 points wins." (The compatibility question comes from "Love of Preference")

"The pink team goes first."

The other groups looked at Chen Yuze and Bai Nianchu standing back to back with somewhat subtle expressions.

Bai Nianchu is 1.7 meters tall, which is considered tall for most people. However, when she stands next to Chen Yuze, the height difference between them is still quite obvious.

Not only are there differences in height, but their body types and skin colors are also very different.

Chen Yuze is 1.93 meters tall, making him the tallest male guest present.

Moreover, with his broad shoulders, wide back, wasp waist, and long arms, even a simple black T-shirt with tight sleeves can be stretched into a tight-fitting effect by his bulging muscle lines, exuding tension with every movement.

Standing next to Bai Nianchu, they looked exactly like a rich young lady and her fierce bodyguard.

No wonder Chen Yuze was misunderstood by Bai Nianchu's assistant when he picked her up from get off work last time.

In the words of the live stream chat—

The incredible size difference between them is so captivating, it's making me feel like I'm on cloud nine!

[When they were apart, it wasn't obvious, but when they stood together, Bai Nianchu's thighs seemed thinner than Chen Yuze's arms.]

[In comparison, the fourth female lead is so fair-skinned, and her waist is so slim!]

[The fifth male lead looks even darker in comparison (laughs while rubbing his forehead)]

[Just thinking about it... if the size difference is too big, even just the fingers would have to work hard.]

[Upstairs you... (green frog emoji)]

"Ready? Let the challenge begin!"

"Please listen to the question, guests from the pink group—"

Question 1: Do you use the same standards for dating and marriage partners?

Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze simultaneously raised their signs: "YES".

Question 2: Do you believe that novelty is more important than security in a romantic relationship?

Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze: "NO".

Question 3: Do you think being too romantic is a flaw?

Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze: "NO".

Question 4: Can you accept that your partner isn't good at expressing love verbally?

Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze: "YES".

Question 5: Do you believe love can overcome all difficulties?

Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze: "NO".

"Congratulations on completing the challenge in 45 seconds!"

Not only were the other guests stunned, but the production team was also amazed by their lightning speed.

"How could it be so fast..." Xu Muyang was on the verge of tears.

If there's post-production editing, they'll definitely add a petrification and cracking effect for him.

Did he not even have a single chance to go on a date with Bai Nianchu in the past month?

Jiang Meng was dumbfounded: "What's the point of this competition? The production team should just announce the winner!"

They were amazed by the chemistry between Bai Nianchu and the new male guest, unaware that several of the five questions were practically free points for Chen Yuze. The second question, about novelty, and the third, about being love-struck, were precisely the topics he had discussed with Bai Nianchu during their last meal together.

Whether it was the production team's compensation for him arriving a few days late, or he was just lucky, he drew questions that he was familiar with and could be certain of the other person's answer to.

Chen Yuze's face was filled with undisguised joy.

He lowered his head, met Bai Nianchu's ink-black eyes, suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled, and stretched out his palm towards her.

Bai Nianchu: "?"

Chen Yuze chuckled: "How about a high five, Miss Bai?"

Bai Nianchu: "..."

The comment section couldn't take it anymore:

[Tsk, he's so happy.]

[I got a thrill from that guy again.]

[I'm not a fan. Did the fifth male lead get a wish-fulfillment novel script?]
