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

Is it heavy?

Chen Yuze frowned and glared at the dog lying on Bai Nianchu's lap.

It was just a pug that had been fattened up.

Seriously... they have no self-awareness about their weight at all.

He was genuinely worried that the little lapdog would hurt Bai Nianchu's legs, and asked repeatedly, "Should I hold it?"

But this pug seemed to have a mind of its own. As soon as Chen Yuze reached out his hand, it opened its big black eyes, drooped its ears, and made a "woofing" sound at Bai Nianchu.

Bai Nianchu pursed her lips and declined, "No need."

Chen Yuze: "..."

It's not that he's prejudiced.

He genuinely thought the pug was fat and ugly, far less cute than the Alaskan Malamute that was quietly sleeping at Bai Nianchu's feet.

Ten minutes later, the freeze-dried food in their hands was completely sold out.

The greedy dogs, seeing new guests enter, turned around and begged for food.

There was finally an empty space next to Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze.

The pug lying on Bai Nianchu's lap is the fastest runner, which explains why it's so fat. It's truly a prime example of "where there's food, there's love."

Just as Chen Yuze and Bai Nianchu were exchanging a few words, the zookeeper quietly approached again.

She was holding a soft, white Pomeranian that looked like a marshmallow in her arms.

"Miss Bai, would you like to hold it?" The young man smiled shyly.

Bai Nianchu nodded and reached out to take it.

Pomeranians are very well-behaved, and their fluffy, cloud-like fur not only looks soft but also feels very comfortable to touch.

Chen Yuze: "..."

Meeting Chen Yuze's unfriendly gaze, the zookeeper quickly explained in a low voice, "Sorry, this is our boss's rule to ensure that every customer has a dog in their lap as much as possible. Of course... it's voluntary for the dogs; if they don't want to be held, they'll get down on their own."

Chen Yuze: Okay.

At least this dog won't keep licking Bai Nianchu's hand.

But he was more concerned about the dog than the dog, and more concerned about the zookeeper who looked fairly decent.

Chen Yuze: Stare—

The comment section burst into laughter.

Am I just obsessed with sex? I have a feeling this guy is trying to steal my girlfriend.

[Isn't that right? He's been secretly watching our Nianchu baby from the corner several times already (laughs while covering mouth)]

No wonder the fifth male lead had that expression →(¬_¬)

[Hahaha, male fifth guy (belike): I'll always be watching you... forever.]

Just as they were about to leave, the zookeeper came over again with his camera.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Bai, would you like to take a group photo with the dogs?"

Chen Yuze nodded: "Yes, thank you."

Since we're already here, we should definitely take lots of photos to commemorate our date.

"No trouble at all, it's our job." The young man coaxed each dog onto the photo platform. "You can come and sit down now."

After adjusting the camera, the young man asked again, "Mr. Chen and Ms. Bai, are you a couple? If so, could you move a little closer?"

Chen Yuze raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at Bai Nianchu immediately.

From his angle, he could see her flawless profile, down to her fair neck, a glimpse of her collarbone, and her smooth, delicate shoulders. Her pale skin glowed softly in the sunlight streaming through the window, softening her otherwise aloof appearance.

At this moment, Chen Yuze suddenly had a real sense that they were actually on a date.

Even though there was still a fist or two of space between them, unlike other young couples who were close together and sweetly snuggled up to each other.

"Not yet." His deep voice clearly reached Bai Nianchu's ears. "I'm pursuing her."

I'm pursuing her.

These words reached the zookeeper's ears very clearly.

He paused for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh: "So that's how it is."

After receiving the photos, the receptionist also gave each of them a cat-head shaped lucky charm.

"Customers can write their own blessings and hang them on that blessing wall," the clerk said, pointing to the wall near the entrance where many wooden plaques were hung with red ropes.

"Thanks."

With the marker in hand, Chen Yuze frowned and began to draw a male and female stick figure with his meager drawing skills.

To say he drew it well... well, the lines are indeed a bit abstract.

But while it might be called hasty, his drawings are also very detailed.

The details were so meticulous that the two stick figures' clothing and hairstyles perfectly captured his and Bai Nianchu's features, even Bai Nianchu's slightly curled bangs were depicted with lines. Seeing that the picture was a bit empty, Chen Yuze picked up his pen again and drew a cat and a dog between them, then drew hearts around the two stick figures, carefully filling them in to make them solid.

When Bai Nianchu looked over, Chen Yuze was still half-covering the prayer plaque, a wild, mischievous, and roguish smile playing on his lips.

"Don't show it to me yet."

He was clearly very satisfied with his masterpiece; his eyes shone brightly, with a hint of smugness.

"Miss Bai wants to see? We'll have to trade."

Bai Nianchu glanced at him twice and found it inexplicably amusing.

Chen Yuze knows how to exude his charm and likes to amuse people, but he always knows exactly how to maintain a proper sense of proportion.

His temperament is also special.

Like an untamed wild beast, beautiful, dangerous, and also like a free wind.

Bai Nianchu did not deny her curiosity and handed him the wooden sign she had written on.

Chen Yuze was stunned for a moment.

...So well-behaved?

Seeing that he didn't move, Bai Nianchu glanced at him and said, "Give me your hand."

Chen Yuze's ears burned, and before his mind could react, his palm was already outstretched.

Like a well-behaved dog that comes whenever you call it.

Bai Nianchu fell silent upon seeing Chen Yuze's masterpiece: "..."

He bent over the table and secretly drew for ten minutes, and this is what he drew?

The cameraman next to him zoomed in and broadcast the painting to the live stream.

The comment section also fell silent.

[Emmm... well, it's not that it looks bad... (forcing a smile emoji)]

[It's so realistic! It's like seeing my own drawing skills in the mirror.]

At first, I thought it was very abstract, but after looking at it for a while, I found it quite cute, and gradually a different feeling arose in my heart.

[In the midst of high-end art appreciation...]

The cameraman then captured the prayer plaque that Bai Nianchu had exchanged.

Bai Nianchu wrote only one line on the sign:

May you be blessed with good fortune, and may every year bring you the same happiness.

This phrase means: "Wishing you good fortune, peace, and prosperity year after year, without any misfortunes."

It was just a very ordinary blessing, but netizens felt as if their chests were filled with soft cotton, cotton that had been sun-dried, and their hearts were gently wrapped up.

The same goes for Chen Yuze.

I felt my heart being gently lifted by a pair of tender hands, so warm it felt like it was melting.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he privately believed that it was written to him by Bai Nianchu.

It was a blessing just for him.

"I can..." Chen Yuze paused before asking in a hoarse voice, "Keep it?"

He didn't want to hang it up anymore.

He wanted to take it home; no, he wanted to wear it all the time.

This will be his personal talisman from now on.

Bai Nianchu paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

She hadn't expected that a simple wooden plaque would move Chen Yuze so deeply.

While it was somewhat amusing, I also felt a gentle tickle in my heart, like a feather had lightly scratched something.
