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

Last night we played a finger-folding game. Wen Shanshan lost the first round, and Xu Muyang lost the second round.

The agreed-upon punishment was grocery shopping. The two of them did the math: there were ten people in the Heartbeat House, and just the meat, vegetables, rice, noodles, drinks, and snacks would probably fill two shopping carts. It would be quite difficult for just the two of them to carry it all.

So they discussed having two more enthusiastic guests join them to go shopping.

Everyone nodded: "When are we going?"

Wen Shanshan: "After get off work today."

Bai Nianchu's get off work hours are 10 AM to 6 PM with weekends off, which is more fixed than most people in the small house.

Unlike Su Yi'an and Liu Zhiwei, who couldn't get back before 7 or 8 o'clock.

In particular, Attorney Liu would stay up all night to organize case files when there were court hearings, and sometimes even stay at the law firm all night.

It's a never-ending series of nights and overtime shifts.

Bai Nianchu spoke up, "I can go."

Almost the instant she finished speaking, Chen Yuze followed up: "I'll go too."

The men who were a step behind: "..."

If they had known Bai Nianchu would be there, they would have taken leave to leave earlier.

Who knew Chen Yuze would react so quickly!

Helpless, they could only silently suffer in silence.

Xu Muyang curled his lips, just as Chen Yuze turned his head, and the two men's eyes met in the air.

They both looked at each other with disdain, as if saying, "Why is it you again?" or "Why is it always you?"

The live stream audience was amused:

Is this their second collaboration?

【I can't take it anymore, that's not how you use the word "second-hand"...】

[This is hilarious; these two who love to argue are at odds again.]

Is the third male lead's luck changing? He's been having a lot of contact with the fourth female lead these past few days.

[You must have been praying to gods and Buddhas in private, your knees must be raw from kneeling so much (laughs while rubbing face)]

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Nianchu had just stepped out of the company building when she saw the familiar McLaren parked on the side of the road, and the person leaning against the car.

Chen Yuze wore a simple black sweatshirt and distressed light-colored jeans today. The outfit gave him a nonchalant, lazy look, making him appear young, relaxed, and handsome.

Wow~ Male character number five is going for an American-style masculine look today.

[Sigh... He looks so young! His sexual prowess seems very strong.]

[Male number five is already young, only 25! He's in the prime of his life, full of youthful vigor (mouse catching a watch emoji)]

Haha, I really admire you guys; you managed to turn everything from red and white into something yellow.

Bai Nianchu walked towards him.

Before she could even speak, Chen Yuze had already opened the passenger door and said casually, "It's on my way."

Bai Nianchu: "..."

[Heh.] The system ruthlessly exposed and mocked, [That's convenient; his training location is ten kilometers away.]

The speed of that car was so bad, I don't even want to talk about it.

After merging into the evening rush hour traffic, cars spend more time waiting at traffic lights than actually driving.

However, Chen Yuze was clearly in a good mood.

He lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, humming an off-key melody.

He wished he could stay stuck in traffic even longer.

It's tough on the viewers in the live stream:

[The fifth male lead is still the same; he likes to hum songs whenever he's happy.]

[The singing was a bit... well, unbearable to listen to.]

[Fifth male lead, you'd better show off your physique; I have someone else for the song!]

During another long red light, Chen Yuze suddenly seemed to have a mischievous idea, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He turned his head to look at Bai Nianchu: "By the way, do you know what you said after you got drunk yesterday?"

Bai Nianchu played along, asking, "What did you say?"

The smile in Chen Yuze's eyes deepened.

He suddenly reached out and covered the microphone clipped to his collar, simultaneously turning his body and face to the side, lowering his voice, and saying in a tone only the two of them could hear:

You said you liked me.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuze maintained his slightly tilted posture, watching her with a leisurely air, as if waiting for an interesting reaction.

Bai Nianchu remained silent for two seconds.

Ye Siyao said this morning that she spoke in her dream and called out other people's names, and she firmly believes it.

Because the owner of the name was someone she knew.

But Chen Yuze's words were too obvious in their intent.

Of course she wouldn't believe it.

Strictly speaking, there has never been anyone in my life who made me say "I like you".

Unlike typical innocent girls who blush and get flustered at the slightest flirtation, Bai Nianchu slowly raised her eyes, looking at Chen Yuze with a subtle gaze that seemed to ask, "Are you alright?" and calmly asked in return, "You're drunk too?"

They were so drunk they were hallucinating.

Hahahaha!

I also acknowledge Nianchu's attack power.

[That's hilarious, fifth guy, did you forget something? (hands over a red nose)]

Instead of getting angry at the blunt mockery, Chen Yuze's shoulders trembled slightly, and he let out a muffled laugh.

The laughter was low, carrying an obvious sense of pleasure and lightness.

Clearly, Chen Yuze enjoys this kind of back-and-forth banter.

When the red light turned green, he sat up straight and steadied the steering wheel again.

After he had finished joking around, Chen Yuze stopped laughing and spoke in a much more serious tone than before.

"If I were drunk, I would have said so."

His voice is magnetic with a slightly husky quality, which is very appealing.

He added, "He'll talk even when he's not drunk."

It is a supplement, and also a kind of frank and confident declaration—

The phrase "I like you".

You can say it a hundred times, a thousand times, it doesn't matter.

【Aaaaaaah!】

[Fifth male lead, how could you be so good?! !!!]

[It's so sweet I'm rolling around in bed!]

[The atmosphere is so ambiguous...the two are acting like a married couple (the phrase "married couple" is not pronounced)]

[Don't worry, ladies, my pretending to be a huge fan is just part of my plan; I have my own pace.]

What should we say when we see a real couple? (Hint: 100-1)

【99! 】

When they arrived at the agreed supermarket entrance, only Xu Muyang was there; Wen Shanshan had not yet arrived.

Xu Muyang beamed with joy when he saw Bai Nianchu, but his expression immediately changed when he saw Chen Yuze following behind her.

It was exactly the kind of face-changing scene described online, where one second you're "hehe" and the next you're "not hehe".

"Nianchu, did you come with him?"

Xu Muyang's tone was the same.

His originally clear, youthful voice was muffled in his throat, revealing a soft, aggrieved tone.

It sounds so pitiful.

"Yes," Bai Nianchu said calmly, "He took over my shift."

Xu Muyang: "..."

[Hahaha, why is the fourth female lead so honest?]

[So funny, he said those hurtful things to Xiao Xu with such a nonchalant expression~]

"...Okay." Xu Muyang bit his lower lip, looking at her with his puppy-dog eyes. "If I had known, I would have picked you up too."

Chen Yuze: "?"

No, he asked—

What does biting your lower lip mean?

A truly humane man would not make that expression.

Whom are you trying to seduce?
