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

Jiang Meng sat diagonally opposite Xu Muyang and witnessed him serving food to Bai Nianchu.

She glanced at it a few times before looking away, forcefully suppressing her feelings of disappointment.

They had only known each other for one day, so it was impossible for Jiang Meng to be extremely jealous or upset. She was just a little discouraged that "the person she liked wasn't taking care of her."

Moreover, Xu Muyang wasn't the only one secretly paying attention to Bai Nianchu.

This made Jiang Meng even more frustrated.

Logically speaking, she is not bad.

Although she wasn't as pretty as Bai Nianchu, she was sweet-looking, had a playful and cute personality, and was the one who stirred up the most atmosphere and generated the most buzz.

Following the established pattern of previous seasons of dating reality shows, the most popular female guests are often sweet girls who are most infectious and bring joy to everyone, and she has always been moving in that direction.

Why is it that in this season, the taciturn Bai Nianchu is more popular?

Do these men really enjoy being rejected?

Jiang Meng felt indignant and turned her gaze to the far left, to the cola chicken wings in front of Xu Muyang.

"Brother Yi'an," Jiang Meng blinked and offered, "Could you pick up a chicken wing for me? It's a bit far from here."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

"it is good."

Su Yi'an picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of food into her bowl.

"Thank you~"

Jiang Meng took a bite, her eyes lighting up. "The chicken wings are so delicious! They're tender, crispy, and not greasy at all."

"I remember this dish was made by Brother Yi'an, right?" She turned her head to look at Su Yi'an, her eyes sparkling with undisguised surprise and admiration. "It's amazing! If I had known Brother Yi'an was such a good cook, I would have entrusted the cooking to you as the head chef."

Su Yi'an smiled slightly: "You flatter me."

Ye Siyao watched this scene and smiled without saying a word.

She found Jiang Meng quite funny.

She took only a small bite, not even bothering to smudge her lipstick, and started praising it to the skies. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was enjoying a Michelin-starred meal.

The male guest probably couldn't tell, but she could smell the tea from a long distance.

Xu Muyang had just served Bai Nianchu some food when Jiang Meng couldn't help but join in, as if she was so afraid of someone stealing her spotlight.

Or is it that she feels Bai Nianchu poses too great a threat to her?

Ye Siyao hadn't observed Bai Nianchu closely; because of Jiang Meng, her gaze fell on the slender figure across the table.

She could tell that the other person was well-mannered and had impeccable table manners. Every bite was the right size, neither wolfing down their food nor leaving a single crumb. The whole process was elegant and proper.

Ye Siyao's discreet gaze swept over Bai Nianchu's beautiful face, finally settling on her lips as she ate.

Bai Nianchu's lips were slightly thinner and lighter in color; on their own, those soft lips actually appeared somewhat bland. But placed on that cool and beautiful face, they evoked a desire in one to caress them, to make those delicate lips appear even more crimson.

Even she felt inexplicably hot just looking at it.

Ye Siyao was momentarily dazed, then pretended nothing was wrong and looked away.

If she keeps staring at her, she might start to doubt her own sexual orientation.

Ye Siyao didn't notice that after she looked away, Bai Nianchu raised her eyelids and glanced at her.

Her gaze was indifferent, and it vanished without a trace after passing by.

He was unusually perceptive.

[Host, tonight is the first time I'm sending a letter.] The little system huffed and puffed as it climbed onto Bai Nianchu's shoulder, happily saying, [I bet you'll receive two, no, more than two!]

"Are you that sure?" Bai Nianchu's inner thoughts were as cold and indifferent as hers.

"Of course!" the little system exclaimed proudly. "The host is the best and most amazing!"

The system's obsequious behavior was probably the most amusing thing.

Bai Nianchu's eyes softened for a moment.

This subtle change happened just as Xu Muyang opened up about the topic.

It seemed as if the cheerful and enthusiastic Xu Muyang had melted a small part of Bai Nianchu's heart.

Xu Muyang was indeed the one among the eight who was least likely to hide his feelings and thoughts. His emotions were as sincere and passionate as the sun; once he fell for someone or developed feelings for them, he would express his care and love without reservation.

It's hard not to like someone with this kind of personality.

Although Lin Zhao didn't say a word throughout the entire event, his position allowed him to see all the guests' facial expressions and eye contact.

They naturally noticed the softening in Bai Nianchu's eyes for a moment.

Lin Zhao frowned, feeling a strange, indescribable emotion.

It's like something you used to throw away and avoid at all costs suddenly becoming a highly sought-after treasure...

My chest feels tight, like lemon juice has been dripped onto my heart.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

It's definitely not comfortable.

Lin Zhao watched silently until the annoying chatterbox finally stopped talking, then said indifferently, "Clean up the table."

His appearance in a black suit and slicked-back hair immediately established a "domineering CEO" stereotype in everyone's minds. Because this outfit made him look more mature than others, coupled with his calm and reserved demeanor, many people placed Lin Zhao in the position of the older brother before his age was revealed.

When the eldest brother spoke, everyone else got up and started to move.

"I'll do the dishes," Xu Muyang said, stepping forward again.

"Hey? But you helped wash the vegetables earlier," Jiang Meng suggested. "Why don't we let someone who doesn't cook do it?"

Bai Nianchu had originally planned to stay and wash the dishes.

Firstly, although the original owner was proud and aloof, she was still quite willing to show herself off in front of her childhood sweetheart, Lin Zhao.

Secondly, when a group of people are having a meal together, it makes no sense to ask the person who cooked to wash the dishes.

During the pause in their conversation, she had already walked to the sink.

Bai Nianchu has fair skin, and her delicate hands gleam with a lustrous, jade-like sheen, like exquisitely crafted works of art. Even the sight of water droplets sliding down the back of her hands is breathtakingly beautiful.

It would be an understatement to call it sacrilege for such beautiful hands to touch the pile of dirty dishes in the sink.

Lin Zhao frowned as she looked at him.

He knew that Bai Nianchu had lived a pampered life since childhood. Not to mention washing dishes, even washing and drying her hair was done by a live-in nanny. Making her do these trivial housework was no different from making things difficult for her.

The production team was also stingy; they didn't even have a dishwasher.

At this moment, he forgot that Bai Nianchu was also someone who had studied abroad and could take care of her own meals.

They even forgot that the original Bai Nianchu had also cooked and cleaned for him.

"Bai Nianchu".

Just an hour ago, Lin Zhao was secretly thinking to himself, "Let's see how long she can hold out," but in the end, it was he who couldn't help but speak first.

"Go and rest." Lin Zhao walked up to Bai Nianchu and said coldly, "I'll wash the dishes."

Bai Nianchu paused, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

In the original storyline, Lin Zhao couldn't even bear to look at "her," let alone help her wash the dishes.

What's wrong now...?

Bai Nianchu's confusion only lingered in her mind for two seconds before she ignored it.

Fortunately, she had already excluded Lin Zhao from her conquest strategy, so it was none of her business no matter how strange he behaved.

"Since Lin Zhao has said so, let him come." Su Yi'an kindly handed her a tissue to wipe her hands.

"Yeah," Xu Muyang chimed in, "Nianchu, let me help you carry your suitcase upstairs. You can rest once you're all settled."

"Thank you." Bai Nianchu took the tissue from Su Yi'an and thanked Xu Muyang again: "Thank you for your trouble."

Su Yi'an: "You're welcome."

Xu Muyang: "No trouble at all!"

Lin Zhao: "..."

Lin Zhao almost laughed out of anger.

So his role was just to be trampled on and fawned over by these two?

Miss Bai is truly charming.
