After I fell in the romance drama, my nemesis kissed me.

He Xiuchuan opened her door when she heard the arguing outside subside, and coincidentally, the door opposite hers also opened.

Huo Jinci looked at He Xiuchuan, his gaze softening.

"Shall we go outside?"

"OK"

He Xiuchuan readily agreed and headed out, with Huo Jinci following closely behind.

"Ah Jin, today's show feels really big."

"What's wrong? You want to too?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I mean, I have a feeling they all know each other..."

He Xiuchuan turned her head and said, "Hey, you're saying we're not the only outsiders? They won't isolate us, will they?"

"It's okay, I'm here, and maybe it's not just us?"

He Xiuchuan's eyes lit up. "So, there are other people?"

"Yes, there is."

"Who is it? Who is it?"

He Xiuchuan looked at Huo Jinci with bright eyes. Huo Jinci smiled and said, "It's a secret."

"Okay, you're good."

He Xiuchuan patted Huo Jinci and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

A row of dwarf holly bushes grew along the courtyard wall, their leaves shining green in the afternoon sun.

He Xiuchuan walked faster than usual, and Huo Jinci followed behind her, shaking his head and smiling as he looked at the small tuft of hair sticking up at the back of her head.

Still so dull.

The temperature was rising, time was changing, and the afternoon recording began as scheduled.

"Let's play a game, Truth or Dare: A Puzzle Experiment."

"Do you need me to explain it to you?"

Zhou Min asked with a smile.

"Need not."

"Okay, then let's draw lots."

The screen in the live stream room scrolled rapidly, with names flashing by.

Meng Anhe and the others subconsciously quieted down, their eyes fixed on the screen, while Lin Yanyan unconsciously bit her lower lip.

Finally, the scrolling screen stopped, displaying two names.

Chen Yubai and Lin Yanyan

"The guests who draw the numbers, please choose one person to spin the wheel."

The program's announcements came one after another, and the disgust in Chen Yubai's eyes almost materialized.

Seeing this, Lin Yanyan stood up. "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go draw a ticket."

As he spoke, he walked towards the roundabout.

Meng Anhe frowned as she watched Lin Yanyan's actions and looked at Chen Yubai. Lu Yuan opened her mouth as she looked at Chen Yubai, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Lin Yanyan casually spun the wheel, and soon the pointer landed on a certain area.

"The Moon in My Heart"

Lin Yanyan read it aloud, looking at Chen Yubai awkwardly.

In a daze, Chen Yubai seemed to see Ruan Jinyan, and he blurted out uncontrollably, "It's okay, I'll stay with you."

Then, Chen Yubai quickly realized what was happening, "Sorry, I..."

"Really? Thank you, Chen Yubai."

Lin Yanyan looked at Chen Yubai happily when she heard that he was willing to play the game.

Chen Yubai looked at her happy expression and didn't say anything.

"start."

The room temperature was adjusted back to that setting, and the air conditioning cooled her from head to toe. Lin Yanyan rubbed her arms and looked at Chen Yubai.

He sat upright and did not speak.

"Please look into each other's eyes and do not look away."

Lin Yanyan raised her head and looked at Chen Yubai, while Chen Yubai also looked at Lin Yanyan.

Chen Yubai stared at Lin Yanyan, his eyes slowly drifting into a daze.

"The breath must not stop, and the exhaled white breath must not dissipate."

Zhou Min looked at the comments in the live stream.

"At the same time, your breathing should be synchronized—when you inhale, the other person should inhale; when you exhale, the other person should exhale."

Lin Yanyan adjusted her breathing rhythm and slowly followed Chen Yubai's pace.

Chen Yubai took a deep breath, and Lin Yanyan followed suit.

Chen Yubai exhaled, and Lin Yanyan exhaled.

"It seems they work together very well."

He Xiuchuan looked at their frequency and said to Huo Jinci.

"Yes, we can too."

Two puffs of white air floated out of their mouths, met in the air, and then dispersed together.

"It worked?!"

"Chen Yubai's eyes look so empty..."

"..."

Lin Yanyan's eyes widened as she looked at Chen Yubai's face.

His eyes were empty and unfocused, as if he were looking at something in the distance, or as if he wasn't looking at anything at all, just simply spacing out.

Zhou Min didn't speak. The air conditioner was still blowing, and the cold air climbed up from her ankles, making Lin Yanyan's back inexplicably tense.

Lin Yanyan quickly composed herself. She knew the second time was coming, and she didn't know if she could handle it, but she didn't want to be punished.

"Yu Bai, live on."

"Forget me..."

"I love you, Chen Yubai, we'll be together forever!!!"

"..."

Ruan Jinyan's smile as she turned around, the vow she made on the mountaintop... all flashed before Chen Yubai's eyes, and tears gradually filled his eyes.

Jin Yan...

A tear spilled from Chen Yubai's eye.

When Lin Yanyan saw Chen Yubai crying, her mind went blank, and she forgot all about the game and blurted out:

"Well, if you really don't want to, we can stop playing. Don't cry."

Meng Anhe closed her eyes and remained silent.

Xu Weiyi leaned back on the sofa, her gaze shifting from Chen Yubai to the ground.

Lu Yuan's eyes reddened, "Chen..."

"Don't."

Luo Chuanheng pulled Lu Yuan back without saying a word, just watching quietly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lin, I lost my composure. The game might not be able to continue. I'll go draw the punishment."

Chen Yubai wiped away the tear and walked towards the punishment box.

"That tear, absolutely amazing! A man's tear, my stimulant!!!"

Lin Yanyan: I'm not that bad, am I?

"..."

Chen Yubai pulled a slip of paper from the box and turned to the camera.

"The group that drew the slip of paper, please stand face to face with the camera. The male guest needs to do three backflips. The female guest should raise her right hand and gently lift her skirt with her left hand while the male guest does the backflips, then turn three times to the left and three times to the right."

The program's announcement came on time. After hearing it, Chen Yubai immediately started flipping the page without any frame, and Lin Yanyan quickly got into position and began spinning.

In an instant, the live stream was filled with people doing somersaults and spinning around, resembling a circus performance.

"I remember, I think I entered a dating reality show livestream room..."

"..."

After a short while, both of them stopped.

"Alright, the punishment is over. The two teachers can take a break now."

Lin Yanyan returned to her seat, feeling uneasy, and kept glancing at Chen Yubai out of the corner of her eye.

He Xiuchuan glanced at Meng Anhe, her gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Huo Jinci.

He's still the best.

"That concludes today's recording. Remember to send your 'heart-fluttering' text messages tonight. Thank you to all the viewers in the live stream for your continued support. See you tomorrow!"

After Zhou Min finished speaking, he turned off the live streaming equipment without waiting for any reaction from the live stream audience.

Zhou walked over to Zhou Min's side.

"Well, you've even cheated your own nephew."

"Xiao Xing, this is an adult matter, how can you call it a trap? Let me go."

"No, unless you give me an Eppla phone, I want the PLSU version."

Zhou Min looked at Zhou Xing in shock. "You..."

"You can disagree if you want..."

"real?"

Zhou Min was skeptical.

"Of course, you disagree? If you disagree, I'll tell Brother Yu Bai that you were behind this! This live stream was originally meant to help Brother Xu pursue Sister Meng, but you found someone whose eyes and eyebrows look so much like Sister Jin Yan, don't think I don't know..."

"Fine! I'll buy it for you, just let me go!"

Zhou Min regretted it as soon as he said it.

The plus version of Eppla costs him half a month's worth of cigarettes.

But if Chen Yubai finds out that it was he who contacted Lin Yanyan, this won't be a matter that money can solve.

Finally, Zhou Min gritted his teeth and put the blame on Zhou Xing.

No, I need to find someone to take the blame. If Yu Bai finds out, at least there will be someone else to take the fall.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle. You're such a kind person."

Zhou Xing smiled and left, but turned back at the door.

"Don't try anything funny, you know me."

"You unfilial nephew!"

I need to think about who should carry this.

Dong dong dong

Meng Anhe opened the door, and there was Lu Yuan.

Meng Anhe looked around. "Senior Sister Lu, please come in."

Lu Yuan followed Meng Anhe into the room and closed the door behind her.

Meng Anhe poured Lu Yuan a glass of water. "Senior Sister Lu, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, An He, Chen Yubai, he..."

"Senior Sister Lu, no one expected what happened to Senior Sister Ruan. Don't blame yourself too much. As for Senior Brother Chen, he will understand."

"But, but Zhou Min went looking for him..."

"I believe Senior Brother Chen wouldn't do that; he knows what he's doing."

Meng Anhe took a sip of water. "By the way, Senior Sister Lu, I heard from Zhao Yunhua that Senior Brother has also come."

"Ignore him."

Lu Yuan picked up the water glass, the water flowing down her throat, moistening her lungs, and spreading warmth throughout her body.

After seeing Lu Yuan off, Meng Anhe opened her suitcase.

What should I wear tomorrow?

Meng Anhe rummaged through her suitcase and finally took out a pale white long dress.

"How about this one? It seems alright."

Meng Anhe took the clothes out and hung them on the hanger.

She took two steps back, the fabric draping softly in the light.

Meng Anhe nodded and said softly, "Okay, this is it."

She turned around to go wash up, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.

Have I forgotten something?

"Never mind, I'll go take a shower first."

Lin Yanyan held the work phone provided by the production team, staring blankly out the window.

Why don't you send it to him?

Meng Anhe had just lain down on the bed when she suddenly remembered something. She quickly sat up, picked up her phone from the table, typed a message, and sent it out.

After sending it, Meng Anhe let out a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, I almost forgot.

Xu Weiyi sat on the bed, touched her lips, and smiled.

He picked up his phone, typed out a good news message, and sent it out.

Meng Anhe's phone lit up in the dim light.

Meng, An, He.
