Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Melancholy Sweetie: [It's no use trying to argue now!]

Ruthless said: "[It wasn't me who said it, that was the script.]"

Melancholy Sweetie: [...]

Ruthless Insight: [This was designed by the production team; they thought it would generate more viewership and appeal to the audience.]

Melancholy Sweetheart: [Your production team is pretty impressive, you even knew my boyfriend and I weren't legally married.]

The nickname above the chat box has changed to "Typing...".

Lin Wu waited quietly for two seconds.

The text "In the middle of typing" has changed to "Ruthless Path".

The person on the other end hesitated for a long time, probably because they didn't know how to reply.

A minute later, seeing that there was no result in sight, Lin Wu was just about to find a way to save face for that awkward guy when the other side sent another message.

Ruthless said: "[It was just a script provided by the production team. I wasn't that cheesy. Believe it or not.]"

Melancholy Sweetie: [I believe it, I believe it.]

Ruthless said: [You really believed it?]

Melancholy Sweetie: [I really believe it.]

Lin Si: "..."

He stared at the chat history for a while.

It's really hard to tell whether she believes it or not.

But whether she believes it or not, she has already said it.

Everyone who watched it knows this.

Including his fans, family, friends, club teammates...

Lin Si thought to himself, "He must be crazy to have come on this show."

Who knows what kind of mess they'll make of me when I get back?

Now the whole league knows he's a sister-obsessed guy, so if he loses a game in the future, his haters will have another excuse to criticize him.

I bet they'll give him a low score while simultaneously telling him to retire quickly and go home to cry in his sister's arms.

Thinking about this scene, Lin Si sighed heavily.

One really shouldn't be soft-hearted.

He softened his heart and agreed to Lin Xun's request.

After two episodes, there have already been quite a few laughs, especially in the contestants' groups.

Now, when people call him, they don't call him by his name anymore; they just call him "sister-complex."

"..."

He angrily logged out of WeChat.

I've decided to speak as little as possible in the next few episodes.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

Shut up and be a handsome guy.

……

After chatting with Lin Si, the busy and melancholic Xiao Tian made a video call to her boyfriend.

A rapid ringing sound followed, and the call was quickly answered.

A super handsome guy appeared on the dark screen.

He was sitting in the study, leaning back in his chair, wearing a black T-shirt, his short hair slightly damp, probably from a recent shower.

"Have you missed me?" Lin Wu asked, resting her chin on her hand.

She was lying face down on the bed, her face very close, but even from this angle, her beauty was not diminished.

"I've been thinking about it," Xu Jingwang said softly. "So when are you coming back?"

"We'll need to inspect for two more days, and we'll definitely be back the day after tomorrow!" Lin Wu said excitedly.

She started to tell Xu Jingwang what she had seen and done that day.

"You know what? I always thought that these girls who were abducted for more than ten or twenty years would suffer great psychological trauma. After they came out, they had to face public opinion and unusual sunlight, which might cause them to have mental problems."

Xu Jingwang: "So you have a different opinion now?"

"Yes, the fact that they can survive in this situation is already very resilient. It's just that they're not quite used to it yet, but they'll definitely get through this difficult time in the future. I originally wanted to start with individual stories and use ordinary people to reflect the suffering of the group..."

As Lin Wu spoke, she gestured, "Now that I think about it carefully, it would actually be better to change it to a long-term report, a report on a trafficked woman returning to reality."

"I support it," he said with a smile. "The power of self-redemption is stronger than focusing on suffering."

"right."

Lin Wu slapped the bed suddenly. "You understand me."

"You yourself made it very clear." Xu Jingwang lowered his eyes. "Actually, you're quite suited for this, using your pen and camera as weapons to speak out for the weak, without overly focusing on suffering."

"These days, many news stories are designed to grab attention by sensationalizing the victims' experiences," he said earnestly. "You're different from those people."

"Hehe, why are you suddenly praising me again?"

Lin Wu covered her face and said modestly, "Actually, there are quite a few reporters like me."

Xu Jing readily agreed, saying, "I have no connection with them, so I'm only praising you."

"You're so glib." Lin Wu glared at him.

She remembered the last sentence the production team said.

—I hope you can find what you truly want to do, and that every day from now on will be meaningful.

Lin Wu thought to herself that what she was doing now was very meaningful.

Becoming a reporter was just a whim at first.

Now she is increasingly realizing that she loves this profession.

For her, making a living is not the goal; what she seeks is value.

Lin Wu has loved watching "Journey to the West" since she was a child, and she especially loves the Monkey King.

He was exceptionally warm-hearted from a young age and liked to protect the weak.

Journalists themselves rely on interviews, investigations, and records to make the facts public.

There are far too many dark things in this world, especially women and children who are always in danger, and she wants to contribute her light and warmth to this cause.

Lin Wu felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately wanted to jump out of bed to write.

She restrained herself again.

I have to get up early tomorrow morning.

So I changed the subject, asking, "How was your day at school?"

"I'm fine, it's just that..."

Xu Jingwang described in detail what he had done that day: "When my teacher found out you were away on a business trip, he invited me to his house for a simple meal that evening. His wife had put too much salt in the soup and even served me a big bowl of soup."

Lin Wu asked with a smile, "Have you finished drinking?"

"I've finished drinking it," Xu Jingwang said. "I drank three large glasses of water last night when I got home."

Lin Wu couldn't stop laughing.

Xu Jingwang's wife is a well-known looks-obsessed person. She was originally worried because her husband had gained weight and gone bald after marriage, but she didn't care when she learned that her husband had taken on a super handsome disciple.

Until I met him in person, we took 800 photos together.

She even kindly asked him if he had a girlfriend.

When the teacher's wife later met Lin Wu, she was even more amazed by her beauty.

I spent the whole night taking photos with Lin Wu, and carefully selected nine photos to post on my WeChat Moments.

Finally, he warmly invited the two of them to his home for dinner.

Lin Wu liked his teacher's wife quite a bit, so he agreed on the spot and went out for dinner that evening.

I ate there once, but it left a deep impression on me. I never went back after that, and I made up all sorts of excuses to avoid it.

After sharing what they had done that day, Lin Wu asked, "Did you watch any shows?"

"I watched it," Xu Jingwang said. "I feel it was worth it to be on the show this time, otherwise you might never have heard these words in your life."

"Yes, Lin Si is such a weirdo," Lin Wu said. "He just messaged me saying it was all scripted and arranged by the production team."
