[I agree. Qin Yuanyao didn't cause any trouble, didn't steal the spotlight, and didn't deliberately get close to Chi Baiyi; she was quite normal.]

[Haha, those who think Qin Yuanyao is normal should go check the trending topics. A compilation of Qin Yuanyao's scandals is trending again.]

I've reviewed it, and aside from the so-called insider revelations, there's no more conclusive evidence like photos or videos. I'm taking a wait-and-see approach.

Are those who support Qin Yuanyao out of their minds? Several extras have confirmed this with videos showing Qin Yuanyao behaving like a diva and bullying extras on set. How can they defend that?

[When I said there was no evidence like photos or videos, I meant there were no photos or videos showing Qin Yuanyao behaving arrogantly or bullying extras; it was all based on third-party accounts. I'm not a fan of Qin Yuanyao; I'm just a casual observer, simply stating my feelings after watching a variety show all day. Those who are jumping up and down and labeling me as a fan are the ones who are truly indiscriminate, believing whatever others say, and are probably mentally ill.]

[Stop arguing, stop arguing. The live stream is still several days away. The live stream is a mirror that reveals true colors. No matter how well Qin Yuanyao pretends, she can't hide her true nature for five or six days of live streams. We'll find out if we keep watching.]

...

Qin Yuanyao coaxed Chi Nao to sleep, then glanced at the time; it was already past nine o'clock.

She looked up at the cameras in the room and found that they were all turned off, so she guessed that the live stream must have ended.

Qin Yuanyao relaxed and stretched her body.

She went to the bathroom near her room.

She had just come out of the restroom when she encountered Chi Baiyi, who was coming out of another room.

Chi Baiyi had a change of clothes hanging in his arms and was about to go to the bathroom near his room to wash up.

Upon noticing Qin Yuanyao, Chi Baiyi's expression remained indifferent, and he asked in a cool voice, "Is Cheese asleep?"

Qin Yuanyao's expression was equally calm as she nodded: "She's asleep, she's been asleep for almost half an hour now."

Chi Baiyi hummed in agreement and was about to go to the restroom when Qin Yuanyao called out to him.

"Mr. Chi."

Chi Baiyi stopped in his tracks, turned his head slightly, and looked at her indifferently.

Qin Yuanyao took something out of her jeans pocket and handed it to Chi Baiyi: "Here, take this back."

Chi Baiyi lowered his dark eyes and saw that what Qin Yuanyao handed him was the necklace that Chi Nao had given to Qin Yuanyao in his name.

Chi Baiyi remained expressionless and did not reach out to take it. His dark eyes were fixed on Qin Yuanyao, making it impossible to guess his emotions or thoughts.

"You didn't know that Cheese bought this necklace without your knowledge."

Chi Baiyi was slightly surprised.

This woman is quite clever.

However, Chi Baiyi's face remained expressionless.

“I’m glad Chi Cheese doesn’t dislike me, but children don’t really understand the value of money and gifts. To me, her sentiment is more valuable than anything else. I won’t accept such a valuable gift.”

"If you didn't intend to accept it, why did you accept it in front of the cheese?" Chi Baiyi said.

"If this gift had been bought for me by Cheese, and I had refused it at the time, Cheese would most likely have insisted that I accept it."

Qin Yuanyao's answer was the same as Chi Baiyi's guess.

In fact, Chi Baiyi had some negative prejudices against Qin Yuanyao when she first saw her accept the necklace.

When Chi Baiyi heard Qin Yuanyao say that she already knew that Cheese had bought the necklace without her consent, she already guessed why Qin Yuanyao had accepted the necklace in the first place.

“Once something is given away, it is given away; there’s no reason to take it back. To us, this gift is not valuable at all,” Chi Baiyi said.

"Cheese likes to kick off the covers when she sleeps, please cover her up properly so she doesn't catch a cold," Chi Baiyi instructed before entering the bathroom.

Qin Yuanyao stood still and put away the necklace.

She understood what Chi Baiyi meant.

This necklace might be very valuable to her, but it was worthless to the Chi family, who were large and wealthy. Chi Baiyi didn't take it seriously.

Since Chi Baiyi refused, Qin Yuanyao didn't intend to force him. She would treat it as the first gift from Little Cute Cheese and cherish it.

Qin Yuanyao returned to her room, and as Chi Baiyi had said, the sleeping Chi Nao had already kicked off the blanket.

Qin Yuanyao smiled silently and covered Chi Naozi with the blanket again.

After washing up, she lay in bed for a while, unable to fall asleep.

She simply sat up and decided to go down to the courtyard to clear her head.

Before going downstairs, Qin Yuanyao placed two pillows on either side of Chi Naolu to prevent her from rolling over and falling off the bed.

After doing all this, Qin Yuanyao quietly went downstairs.

Xu Miaotong was also in the courtyard on the first floor.

Xu Miaotong was sitting on a white swing chair, legs crossed, a cigarette between her fingers, and her phone swiping the screen in her other hand.

Hearing the sound, she looked up at the entrance to the courtyard.

Upon seeing that it was Qin Yuanyao, Xu Miaotong scoffed and lowered her eyes to continue playing on her phone.

When Qin Yuanyao arrived this morning, she immediately noticed Xu Miaotong's hostility towards her.

The incident of everyone having lunch together further confirmed Qin Yuanyao's suspicions about Xu Miaotong's hostility towards her.

Now that there are no cameras, Xu Miaotong is even more uninhibited.

However, Qin Yuanyao wasn't curious at all about why Xu Miaotong was so hostile towards her.

She remained unmoved by Xu Miaotong's sneer and found a place to sit down a little further away from Xu Miaotong.

This villa is in the suburbs. Compared to the city, the air here is better, and you can see quite a few stars.

Qin Yuanyao looked up at the stars in the sky, lost in thought.

After replying to the message, Xu Miaotong caught a glimpse of Qin Yuanyao's stunning profile, and jealousy welled up inside her.
