A pretty live streamer beckons, and a lewd male protagonist hooks her up.

Finally, at Jin Ye's insistence, the director gave him an extra five yuan in initial funding.

However, don't even think about forming a three-person team.

Jin Yeman grinned mischievously at Wen Ruan, holding out five yuan: "Little Cake, come here quickly, I have money!"

He bent down, like he was teasing a cat, and was almost about to say "sucking" aloud.

Wen Ruan glanced at him disdainfully: "No."

Jin Ye: "Why?"

"Coriander, you look like a bad guy right now."

Wen Ruan turned around and looked Jiang Yanci up and down. Apart from the wrinkled area on his chest that she had grabbed, he was clean and spotless.

He looks much better than Jin Ye, who wears a big gold chain and Chelsea clothes.

Yu Yun rolled her eyes. "Alright, do you think I want to team up with you?"

Li Shanshan had a crush on Xu Ran, and with Jiang Yanci staring so intently at Wen, how could this idiot possibly squeeze in?

Don't you think it's crowded for three people to walk together?

Jin Ye could only accept the group assignment with a look of utter dejection.

A staff member walked in carrying a large pile of things and said:

"The mini-game mainly tests the teamwork between teammates. Next, I will give you a writing board and ask each other three questions. If the answers are the same, one point will be added. The team with the highest score will receive 100 yuan as initial funds, followed by 50 yuan and 10 yuan."

Yu Yun: "We've only known each other for a short time, Director, are you sure you didn't do this on purpose?"

director:"......"

"No speaking to the director from a distance!"

Yu Yun waved her hand: "Tch, can't afford to play games."

The game began with each person holding a writing board and sitting opposite each other.

"First question: What's your favorite food?"

Wen Ruan thought for a moment, then picked up her pen and wrote carefully.

"Second question: What's your favorite color?"

"Third question: What's your favorite scent?"

The sound of scribbling could be heard from the side.

When the two minutes were up, Wen Ruan turned the writing board over and stared blankly for a moment after seeing what Jiang Yanci had written.

My favorite food is cupcakes.

My favorite color is pink.

My favorite scent—catnip.

The content above is exactly the same as what she wrote herself!

Even the punctuation marks are exactly the same!

Yu Yun couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Jiang, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on Wen Ruan and deliberately followed her here knowing she was coming to the dating reality show, would you?"

"That can't be..."

Wen Ruan muttered that she only learned Jiang Yanci's name today, how could she have known him before, and even had a crush on him?

This is ridiculous.

It must be a coincidence!

Jiang Yanci raised his hand to push up his glasses, smiling gently, "Just a coincidence."

"We used to have a kitten at home, and it always liked these things..."

Wen Ruan tilted her head. "You used to have one? What about now? Did you abandon it?"

Jiang Yanci remained silent.

A blurry image suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a strong feeling surged in his stomach. He stood up, apologized, and hurried to the bathroom.

Did I say something wrong?

Wen Ruan watched Jiang Yanci close the door, blinked, and stared blankly.

Jin Ye comforted him, "Baby, don't overthink it. It must be something wrong with him."

A moment later, Jiang Yanci returned, as if nothing had happened.

Wen Ruan dared not mention it again.

Their group came in first place and received 100 yuan. Jin Ye was the worst off, only getting 10 yuan. Fortunately, the director gave him an extra 5 yuan out of humanitarian considerations.

Everyone wore a motion camera around their necks, and each group was accompanied by two staff members.

Are you really alright?

On the way, Wen Ruan couldn't help but ask, "You didn't look well earlier, did you have a hypoglycemic episode?"

Wen Ruan secretly took out a candy and stuffed it into Jiang Yanci's hand.

Ever since Song Yu suffered from hypoglycemia and felt unwell, Wen Ruan has always carried one or two candies with her.

Jiang Yanci held the candy in his palm, his thin lips slightly pursed: "Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

When they arrived at the supermarket, Wen Ruan put everything that caught her eye into her shopping cart.

Anyway, they have a hundred dollars, enough to buy lots and lots of delicious food!

"What are we going to cook for lunch?"

"Would you like to eat fish?"

"No, no, I can't cook fish. By the way, can you cook?"

Wen Ruan walked ahead, chattering incessantly.

Jiang Yanci didn't find it noisy at all; on the contrary, she enjoyed the feeling.

He pushed the cart while Wen Ruan carried it, and they discussed what dishes they should eat when they got home.

He and Wen Ruan were like this before.

However, conditions were tough back then, and neither the cat nor the person could afford to go to the supermarket. The cat king could only look disdainfully at the things he rummaged through the trash can, cover his pink nose with his paw, wag his tail irritably, and then shake his head:

"Oh no, this is expired!"

"Little Jiang, can't you be a little more reliable?! If this keeps up, we and Xiao Xunxun will go hungry tonight!"

"Oh my god, the chubby figure I've raised with so much effort is about to become as thin as a bamboo pole..."

"Huh? Do you even know how to cook?!"

Wen Ruan's voice pulled Jiang Yanci's thoughts back to the present.

"You ignore me when I talk to you, you treat me like I'm invisible!"

Wen Ruan was truly angry this time. She turned around, grabbed a bottle of milk worth twenty yuan, and warned, "This whole bottle is mine, and you're not allowed to drink it!"

"Yes, yours."

"I can't cook."

He answered Wen Ruan's initial question.

Wen Ruan was crying; today was the first day she missed Song Yu.

"Alright then, you can help out when we get back, and I'll cook for you."

"But I need to warn you beforehand, my cooking isn't very good, so don't cry later!"

"Um......"

At this moment, Jiang Yanci was completely unaware of exactly how bad Wen Ruan meant by "not tasty".

At noon, after a busy morning, everyone finally managed to prepare lunch.

Wen Ruan stared at the plate of dark, unidentified objects in front of her, exchanging wide glances with Jiang Yanci.

She nervously hid the spatula behind her back, then tossed it into the sink with a "whoosh" in a parabolic arc.

"Jiangjiang, why don't you try it and see if it's good?"

Jiang Yanci raised an eyebrow: "Jiang Jiang when there's something to discuss, Jiang Yanci when there's nothing to discuss?"

"Just tell me if you want to try it or not!"

This is what we'll be using to score the judges later!

When they returned to the villa, they realized that the food they bought and cooked wasn't for them, but for the judges.

We will deliver food to them later according to their scores.

The production team was probably worried that the food they cooked would cause them food poisoning...

"Okay, I'll try it."

Under Wen Ruan's burning gaze, Jiang Yanci picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Wen Ruan asked excitedly, "How is it? How is it? Is it delicious?"

Jiang Yanci swallowed the food.

He does have anorexia.

But what Wen Ruan made didn't even fall into the category of food...
