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

When Bai Nianchu lifted the curtain and came out of the fitting room, Jiang Meng was stunned.

The white swimsuit she casually picked was made of a relatively light chiffon fabric. The top was a deep V-neck tie-up style, with the lining just above the waistline, revealing a section of her fair waist and abdomen, like newly melted snow, cool and refreshing yet with a touch of alluring desire.

The skirt is made of layers of ruffles, and when you walk, the hem sweeps across your legs, making your heart tremble with every step.

This swimsuit looked both alluring and unapproachable on Bai Nianchu.

Even in a swimsuit, she exudes such a cool, elegant, and noble aura… Jiang Meng thought, this is practically the embodiment of the ideal heroine from a romance novel.

"Nianchu, you look so good in this outfit... How about you wear this next week?"

Bai Nianchu was the person Jiang Meng had ever seen who looked best in white.

There's a song that always comes to mind when Jiang Meng sees her in a white dress: "The only pure white jasmine flower, blooming in the amber crescent moon..." (Original singer of "Flowers in Dreams": Angela Chang)

The "jasmine flower" in her eyes is not someone who is superficially beautiful and thin, but someone who remains noble and resilient inside, regardless of the hustle and bustle of the world, external disturbances, or family background.

It really fits Bai Nianchu perfectly!

Of course, Jiang Meng is no less impressive.

Sunflowers have their own beauty, don't they?

"Baby, don't stay so far away from me!" Jiang Meng said sweetly, using the word "baby" without hesitation. "Come a little closer, I want to take a picture together~"

Bai Nianchu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to go over there.

The fitting rooms are located quite far inside the swimwear store and cannot be seen from the outside.

The female shop assistant was arranging swimsuits when she caught a glimpse of two suspicious-looking men entering the store. Before she could react, the two men were only a few meters away from the fitting room, which startled her.

"Sir!?" The female shop assistant rushed over and blocked their path before they could get close. "This is the women's swimwear section, and the men's swim trunks are over there. I'll take you there to choose..."

"I know."

Both men wore dark-colored masks that covered most of their faces, leaving only their bright, darting eyes visible.

One of them was burly and strong, while the other was tall and thin. Their eyes swept across the store with a malicious look, and they didn't seem like nice guys at all.

The slightly burly man interrupted the female shop assistant rudely, his tone extremely arrogant: "I came to check on behalf of my girlfriend, is that not allowed?"

The other man's gaze remained fixed on the fitting room area, lingering particularly long on Bai Nianchu. His sticky, uncomfortable gaze lingered on her exposed shoulders, neck, deep V-neck, and thighs. "I think that outfit of hers looks pretty good and shows off her figure."

The female shop assistant's expression immediately froze.

"Gentlemen, your behavior is making other customers uncomfortable. If you don't have any shopping needs, please leave."

"Didn't I already say I'm buying this for my girlfriend? This isn't a shopping need, is it? If you keep this up, I'll complain about you," the slightly muscular man grumbled.

The female shop assistant was only a part-time worker. She knew some sales techniques, but she didn't have much practical experience in dealing with these kinds of difficult customers.

"...Please don't get too close over there." Her polite smile froze completely, and she forced herself to explain, "To ensure ladies can try on clothes comfortably, our store has a rule that men are not allowed near the women's fitting rooms. You two can browse and select items in the swimwear area over here. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Damn, what a lousy shop..."

The two men spat, but didn't leave. They lingered at a distance that wasn't too close to Bai Nianchu and her companion.

The two men rummaged through the swimsuits on the rack, pretending to pick out clothes, but actually keeping their eyes glued to the girls, secretly watching their every move.

Such an obvious and disgusting gaze immediately caught Jiang Meng's attention.

She frowned, no longer in the mood to take more photos, and quickly pushed Bai Nianchu back into the fitting room, then slipped into another one herself.

"Nianchu, let's change our clothes back, pay the bill, and leave," Jiang Meng said, suppressing her nausea. "There are two creepy men outside who seem to be staring at us the whole time."

After changing their clothes, Jiang Meng quickly pulled Bai Nianchu to pay the bill.

Before they could even leave the store, they were stopped by these two men.

"Don't rush off, you two pretty ladies." The burly man took out his phone and said, "Add me on WeChat, let's go for drinks sometime."

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. We just want to exchange contact information and get to know you." The tall, thin man walked around to their side, blocking their path. While speaking up, he scanned them up and down with a lewd and greasy gaze: "Maybe—we two brothers can even help you pick out swimsuits in the future."

If he hadn't said the second half, Jiang Meng could have endured the humiliation and given him her WeChat ID, intending to delete it later.

As soon as Jiang Meng heard the words "choose a swimsuit," she immediately exploded.

"Get out of here! Your behavior constitutes harassment. If you continue like this, I'm calling the police!"

Bai Nianchu never expected that Jiang Meng, who was petite and spoke in a soft, gentle voice, could exude such a powerful aura.

Jiang Meng pulled Bai Nianchu behind her, then took out her phone and dialed a number.

Seeing that she was serious, the burly man was immediately enraged: "Damn it, don't give me that crap! I'm only doing you a favor by liking you!"

"Hey kid, coming here to buy a swimsuit so late at night, what are you pretending to be innocent for? You're just out here to seduce people, aren't you?"

A string of foul and obscene words came out of his mouth, leaving Jiang Meng dumbfounded.

She truly never expected that in 2026, she would still encounter such a foul-mouthed and disgusting man!

Another tall, thin man saw that she was intimidated, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. He immediately stepped forward, trying to snatch the phone from her hand to prevent her from calling the police and making a big fuss.

With Jiang Meng's small frame, she wouldn't even have a chance to struggle, let alone snatch something back from an adult man.

The other person moved quickly and was about to touch Jiang Meng's hand.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and precisely stopped his movement, the knuckles slightly retracting.

It's Bai Nianchu.

A hint of surprise flashed across the tall, thin man's eyes.

Despite his thin frame, he still possessed the strength of an adult male. Yet, he was unexpectedly caught by a slender young woman who had seized his wrist with a clever and cunning move. It took him a couple of struggles to break free.

After the accident, a strong sense of humiliation swept over him.

I feel like my dignity as a man has been trampled into the ground.

The tall, thin man became enraged, and his eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

Anyway, both brothers were wearing masks, so if they really caused trouble, they could easily slip away.

They did this all the time they followed and harassed people before.

They're betting on the girls' reluctance to easily report the incident to the police and their desire to avoid trouble.
