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

As everyone got up and walked over, their eyes were fixed on the figure at the door.

The man standing at the door was very tall, probably over 1.89 meters.

His proportions are excellent; his chest and legs are perfectly defined. Even in a suit, his strong and powerful physique is undeniable, and he exudes the maturity, rationality, and composure of someone in a position of authority.

What's most special about him is his temperament, which combines composure and elegance, much like a nobleman from the 17th or 18th century. The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose add a touch of asceticism and sexiness to his appearance.

Compared to him, Lin Zhao, who possesses a similar temperament, can only be described as—not good enough.

Jiang Meng, who was closest to him, was stunned and felt that blinking even for a second was a waste.

"Hello." The man's eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses, and he pursed his thin lips as he said, "I'm looking for Xiao Chu, Bai Nianchu."

Jiang Meng finally snapped out of her daze and exclaimed, "You...you're not a new guest, are you? You're so handsome!!"

The live stream chat went silent for a moment.

[He's so handsome!?]

Is this for real...? Is he really a new guest? He's so handsome!

Gu Jinxing is usually busy with work and doesn't have much time to watch live streams. He only occasionally goes online to watch clips edited by netizens of Bai Nianchu's solo moments and dates.

Therefore, he was more familiar with the male guests and didn't have much of an impression of the girls.

The crowd stood jostling at the door, whether they had overheard him looking for Bai Nianchu or thought he was a new guest, they intentionally or unintentionally shielded Bai Nianchu behind them like eagles protecting their chicks.

However, no matter how hard they try to hide it, it's no use.

Gu Jinxing spotted Bai Nianchu in the crowd at a glance.

"Xiao Chu." The man smiled at her, his eyes crinkling, "Your older brother has come to pick you up."

Everyone stared at Gu Jinxing in silence for a long time before they reacted.

"Big brother!?"

"Nianchu, is this your brother?!"

Gu Jinxing walked towards Bai Nianchu, opened his arms, and gently hugged her.

The man's arms were strong and powerful, and his body heat seemed to melt Bai Nianchu.

Bai Nianchu was rarely held in someone's arms.

It was still such a long, warm, and tight embrace.

After a moment of silence, she called out in her usual cold tone, "Brother Jinxing."

Everyone was shocked: "!"

It really is her brother!

Everyone was a little at a loss, and both the male and female guests subconsciously adopted the attitude of those who treat parents.

While not exactly respectful, it was close enough.

"Brother Jinxing." Lin Zhao was the first to come out and greet him under everyone's gaze, clearly indicating that she had met Gu Jinxing before.

Gu Jinxing glanced at him briefly and responded with a nonchalant "Mm".

The crowd exchanged glances and then joined in, saying, "Hello, Brother Jinxing."

"Hello." The man smiled and introduced himself, "I am Gu Jinxing."

Is this the charm of a mature man?

The girls sat up straight, one after another, and even Jiang Meng looked much more ladylike.

Out of a desire to please and flatter their future "brother-in-law," the male guests poured water and cut fruit, making sure to provide excellent service and showcasing their own strengths.

It's like a home visit.

Ye Siyao's red lips curved into a smile, revealing a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth: "Brother Jinxing, what brings you here...?"

"Something came up at home, so I need to pick Xiao Chu up and take her back."

Gu Jinxing's eyes held a faint smile: "Have I disturbed you?"

"No, no!" Everyone quickly waved their hands.

Lin Zhao was aware of this matter.

Ms. Li Shuyao—his mother—immediately informed him of the successful invitation. Although he had reservations about the Bai brothers' involvement, Lin Zhao had no choice but to accept it, considering it might be a test from the Bai family.

Gu Jinxing's refusal to say it was because he didn't want to expose the matter to others.

Lin Zhao had no right to interrupt, so she could only remain silent.

"Nianchu's surname is Bai, and Jinxing's surname is Gu. Do they take their mother's surname?"

"Xiao Chu and I are not related by blood," Gu Jinxing said gently. "I was abandoned when I was a child, and Xiao Chu's parents saved me. You can think of me as a neighbor who is close to Xiao Chu."

"So that's how it is..." Everyone suddenly realized.

"Brother Jinxing looks very young," Su Yi'an said gently as she served the fruit platter. "May I ask his age?"

Gu Jinxing glanced at him indifferently, "28 years old."

He had a rough understanding of the group of male guests and knew that Su Yi'an was 27 years old and the oldest among them, while Ling Yan was 22 years old and the youngest among the male guests.

He felt he was too old at 27, and not mature enough at 22.

Xu Muyang and Chen Yuze are both 25 years old, which is a suitable age.

To be fair, these men all stand out in a crowd. They each have their own style and temperament, and their good looks are dazzling. In the entertainment industry, they would all be natural-born stars who could benefit from their good looks.

But Gu Jinxing still didn't find any of them appealing and didn't accept any.

I still feel it's not good enough.

She is not worthy of the Bai family's precious pearl.

"Brother Jinxing is so handsome..." Jiang Meng was still swooning.

The other girls nodded in agreement.

It has to be said that Gu Jinxing is the man who best fits their ideal type: tall and handsome, mature and steady, and possesses the gentleness and tolerance unique to older men.

He almost perfectly met their criteria for choosing a partner.

It would be great if Brother Gu were also a guest on a dating reality show.

The girls thought with regret.

"Thank you," Gu Jinxing said in a calm and gentle tone, "Miss Jiang is also very lovely."

His tone was gentle, and he spoke with perfect discretion. He was humble and courteous, yet also maintained a just-right distance.

Gu Jinxing sat down next to Bai Nianchu and suddenly asked her, "Xiaochu, are any of these boys interested in you?"

Everyone felt a "smack" and their hearts tightened.

The sense of being tested by the "brother-in-law" is even stronger now.

Bai Nianchu scanned the area.

The boys who were scanned by her straightened their backs and puffed out their chests, looking quite nervous.

"Yes," she said calmly.

Although saying that might sound a bit sentimental? Or even philanthropic?

But she had some affection for all four men besides Lin Zhao.

Gu Jinxing chuckled softly, his gaze following her line of sight to examine her.

Although it is unknown who Xiao Chu was looking at, or which one or several people.

But one thing is clear: Lin Zhao is not among them.

This is good.

For some reason, he felt that Bai Nianchu had changed a lot.

She's lost weight, become prettier, and has a more aloof and elegant demeanor.

It has also become... even more captivating.

He didn't want to see Bai Nianchu in her current state, troubled by love.

I don't want to see her frown and cry, I don't want to see the deep melancholy in her eyes, and I especially don't want to see her risk her life for a man.

Just imagining these scenes.

Gu Jinxing felt as if a fine needle had pricked his heart.

There was a subtle, dull ache.
